the Spa-fields burying-ground are not the excep•
tions, but the rule. We would respectfully suggest
to the Society the propriety of following up
graveyard after gr aveyard throughout the metropolis,
in the same manner as they have done
Enon Chapel and Spa-fiields ; and before
twelve months are over public opinion
will be so strongly expressed on the subject, that the
Government, compelled by its own fears to set at defi-
ance the interested opposition of the recipients of
burial fees, whether they be gravediggers or digni-
taries, will introduce a measure for the total and
immediate abolition of the practice of burials in
towns.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
They announce the arrival of CHARLES ALBERT
at Bayonne on Monday, en route for Madrid, from
which city he will proceed to Lisbon.
The Abbe LE FATE; Bishop of Orleans, and M.
GAMAID, a Member of the National Assembly,
both died on Tuesday of cholera. M. GAMARD was
ill only a few hours. The total number of cholera
cases reported as in the hospitals on Weinesday was
1,006, of which there are 565 dead.

At the sitting of the National Assembly on Wed-
nesday, General LAMORICIERE, and MM. GOUD-
CLIAUX, lIAVIN BILLAULT, CARBON, and GREVY
were elected Vice- Presidents for the ensuing
month, and MM. EMILE PEAU and DELSCOYE, Se-
cretaries.

GIODERTI has, it is said, asked the consent of the
French Government to the intervention of the King
of SARDINIA in Tuscany.
The advance of the army of the Alps to the fron-
tier has been countermanded.

The first of the English excursionists arrived at
Boulogne on Thursday morning. The National
Guards, in full uniform, but unarmed, were waiting
to receive them, as were the Sous Prefet, the
Mayor, the Deputy Mayor, and the ex-Mayor,
M. ADAM. The visitors, on landing, were
received by the Sous Prefet and Mayor, who
welcomed them in appropriate terms. Mr. LLOYD
responded on behalf of his countrymen, who
were conducted by the National Guard into the town
amidst enthusiastic cheering. In front of the Custom
House a triumphal arch had been erected bearing the
following inscription in English :—" To the fraternal
union of England and France." Lord Brougham
was present at the reception of the English.

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna papers state that the preliminaries of
peace between Austria and Sardinia, are already set-
tled, and the General WHOLGEMUTH has gone to
Olmutz to procure the ratification of the Emperor.
Accounts from Hungary give us the particulars of
the victory gained by General DAMGANICH over the
Austrians on the sth of March at Holnok. The
Austrians lost 1,300 men killed, 24 pieces of cannon
and 40 baggage and ammunition waggons.
The Austrians were again defeated on the 24th at
Losonez. The inhabitants of Losonez had, it
appeared, insulted the Austrian flag, which had been
hoisted in the town, upon which WINDISCHGRATZ
dispatched a corps from Pesth, with orders to join itself
to the garrison of Schemniz, and to repair to Losonez,
and levy a contribution of 24,000 florins on the inha-
bitants. The inhabitants applied to the Hungarian
corps stationed at Rimaszombas, and 4,000 men were
a m dispatchedbush in
the

and church These

troops lay

almost annihilated the Austrians, 1,600 of whom were
killed. So completely were the Imperialists cut up,
that the victorious Hungarians advanced upon
Schemniz and took possession of it, thus cutting off
the communications between Scumcs and the army
besieging Comorn. The Austrians have been forced
to return from Czeglee and Hutvam, and during the
whole of the 26th waggon loads of wounded
were constantly arriving at Pesth. KOSSUTH has
succeeded in bringing about a reconciliation between
GEORGY and DEMIIINCKI' and the latter has resumed
the command. in.chief of the Hungarian 'army. The
Magyar corps, commanded by DUCHATEL, has re-
taken the fortress of Arad. The latest accounts from
Pesth state that the Austrians had been compelled to
fall back upon Waitzen, which is only five leagues
from that city.
A letter from Vienna of the 29th ult. states that it
was generally expected that an amnesty for political
offences would shortly be accorded.
A letter from Perth of the 26th ult., addressed to
the Augsburg Gazette, states that the Austrians
had been obliged to fall back on Waitzen, only five
leagues from Pesth. A decisive engagement was
expected in the district of Berezna ; the Austrians
had a force of 1,000 Magyars. The fortress of Arad
had been captured, is was said, by a body of Mag-
yars, under the orders of a French officer named
Duehatel.

The Breslau Gazette of the 31st ult. declares
that the Russians bad entered Gallicia, and were
about to march on Hungary. Dembinski, it was
said, had lost his right arm.

Fadrelandet says, " That the islands on the west
coast of Schleswig have been occupied by the Dane 3
without resistance."

The Berlinger Zeitung says, " The number of in-
surgents concentrated between Apenrade and Fiends-
burg amounts to at least 20,000 men, consisting
chiefly of Schleswig-Holsteiners."
It would appear that the hope of assistance from
Russia, which at first was very general in Denmark,
is becoming more and more slender. No Russian
troops whatever have appeared as the auxiliaries of
Denmark. The Icing of SWEDEN, on the other hand,
has sent several divisions.
With regard to the intended operations it would
appear that Denmark means to make a simultaneous
attack upon several points; the main body, consisting
of the cavalry and the best troops, are concentrated
at Jutland. In the south-western districts there are
about 14 squadrons. General FABVIER is the com-
mander de facto of the Danish army, and displays
his usual great knowledge of the art of war in his
preliminary preparations.
The discipline of the Danish troops is said to be
severe in the extreme, in some cases amounting almost
to a want of humanity.
Our next reports will probably tell of some blow
having been struck.
A letter from Altona of the 2d says—" To-mor-
row will introduce a new state of things here.
We learn from the north that the German troops
have gone further inland, and that those
stationed on Alsen have been embarked to be removed
to the mainland. The Danish troops in Jutland
were said to have been 6,000 on Saturday. General
Vox BONIN has laid hands on every cart and waggon,
and has arranged to form opposing
barricades to the
Danes if they should attempt to effect a land-
ing. The coasts are strongly lined with
troops, and the general opinion among the
German troops is that any attempt of the Danes
to effect a landing must prove unsuccessful. The
main point of the expected attack is defended by
sixty-two 84-pounders. The general cause is joined
by troops from all the German states, numbers of
which are continually passing for the scene of action.
We know not what a day may bring forth.—Ham-
burgh Papers.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was flat.
Railway Shares were dull.
The continental letters received this morning are un-
satisfactory. Hatnburgh letters announce that the
Danish war is certain to recommence, Lord Palmerston
and Chevalier Bunsen having rejected the Danish ulti-
matum. Great preparations were making on both sides,
and it is the feeling in the City that if the war begins
anew it will be exceedingly fierce, and probably involve
Russia and Sweden, the German party being decidedly
strongest by land.

There are but few parties in the City this morning;
and with respect to the revenue returns they are looked
upon as favourable.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.
SIWITIMEELD.

This being the great Lamb market fur the season,
the supply of that description of stock on sale was sea.
sonably good, but not so extensive as at some corres-
ponding periods of the year, the number being about
3,500 head. As the attendance of buyers was
numerous, the Lamb trade ruled brisk, at an
advance in the quotations of quite 2d per Bibs,
the currencies ruling from 5s 8d to 6s 8d per
81bs. We were but moderately supplied with Sheep;
nevertheless the mutton trade was heavy at barely
Monday's prices, the highest figure for the best old
Down., in the wool, being 4s 4d per 81bs. The
supply of Beasts was large, while the sale for them
was in a very depressed state at almost nominal fi-
gures. Calves and pigs met a slow inquiry at late
rates. Mitch Cows were held at from 141 to 181
each, including their small calf.

COLONIAL MARKETS.
SUGAR.—An improved business has been done in most
descriptions, and the market closed very firmly last
evening, to be re opened on Wednesday next. Holders
of British Plantation are very firm, and have not brought
forward much. This has given support to the prices.

consumption takes place. Two cargoes Oranges ex
Onward and Galatea from St. Michael's, one, ex Helen,
from Oporto. and a cargo of Lemons, ex Farmer, from
Messina, sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale. The
two first cargoes went at an advance of 2s per box ; the
cargoes from Oporto were out of condition; and the Le-
mons of sound condition sustained the price obtained of
late. Barcelona Nuts were hell firmly at a shilling per
bag advance. Black Spanish 2s per barrel cheaper.
Chesnuts cleared off the market. Brazil scarce, and 2s
per barrel higher.

Mrs. Nisbett and Miss Jane Mordaunt have just
concluded a most successful engagement at Edinburgh,
both these talented actresses having established them.
selves high in favour with the playgoers of our northern
capital. Mrs. Nisbett had a benefit last Thursday, play.
ing (assisted by her sister) in the Love Chase and the
Soldier's Daughter, and the crowded state of the Theatre
Royal testified how many friends and admirers this ac-
complished artiste had won, even during this her brief
sojourn. Miss Jane Mordaunt took her benefit on Sa-
turday; and, with other entertainments, the pieces Clari
and the Dream at Sea were selected, both of which gave
great scope for the talents of both the sisters, each being
celebrated in her respective role. But we are sorry to
hear that Mrs. Nisbett was taken so seriously unwell on
Friday as to prevent her playing on that or the following
night. Notwithstanding, however, this serious disap-
pointmeet, the fair beueficiare had a bumper to welcome
her. Mrs. Nisbett, by our las' accounts, was fast re
coverieg, and the sisters were to start immediately for
Newcastle-on-Tyne, being engaged to play there during
the Easter week. After fulfilling some few other en-
gagements in the north, they will return to London, and,
it is said, both appear at one of our metropolitan theatres
in a new five-act play, expressly written for them by
one of our most successful dramatic authors.
TIM OAK FARM IRON WORKS.--BIRMINGJIAM,
THURSDAY.—These extensive works, near Stourbridge,
were sold to day at Dee's Royal Hotel, in this town, to
the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstot e (through Mr. Fresh-
field, solicitor) for 36 0001. Mr. Gladstone has a lien
upon the machinery for 20,0001. ; but this does not form
any ingredient- in the sale of the leasehold (eighteen
years) purchase.

of grain to be put into the ground under the mot

INCOME-TAX FOR IRELAND.
The Select Committee of the House of Lords ap-
pointed to inquire into the operation of the Irish
Poor•law has just reported that the extension of
the income-tax to Ireland would be greatly pre-
ferable to the collection of the sixpenny rate in
aid, so hotly opposed by the landlords and
tenant-farmers of the province of Ulster. It is
a pity that this report was not made before the
introduction of the Rate in Aid Bill in the House
of Commons. We are sure that, if it had, Ministers
would have preferred it to any plan for raising money
in the way now contemplated. But as the rate in aid
will not meet the requirements of the case—will not
supply funds adequate to the prevention of starvation
in. the West of Ireland—why not have re-
course still to the imposition of an income-tax ?
There is not the shadow of an excuse for
the exemption of the gentry of Ireland
from this impost. Of all taxes an income-tax
is the best to impose upon a spendthrift landed pro-
prietary who have a passion for living beyond
their means. People in England have an im-
pression that, because the Irish peasantry cannot
pay taxes, there must be little or no wealth
in Ireland. This is a childish mistake. Com-
pared with England, Ireland is a poor country
(as what country is not ?) but it abounds
in private gentry of a class who could not easily
escape the payment of sevenpence in the pound out
of incomes represented by themselves as exceeding
MO/. a year. We feel confident that the extension
of the income-tax to Ireland would be a popular
measure for the relief of the distress among the
Irish peasantry. No doubt a few bankrupt place-
hunters among the Irish Members would hotly
oppose it—but it would be well received by honest,
independent men of all parties as a measure which
could not be wrested to the oppression of the poor.
We regard Sir Robert Peel's New Plantation
scheme with much approbation, notwithstanding the
sneers of Mr. D'lsraeli. It attests the great pains
which the Right Hon. Baronet has bestowed in ma-
turing a plan for the permanent regeneration of Ire-
land. We see in it, too, a stepping-stone to the re-
sumption of a lofty seat in Downing-street. Hitherto
Ireland has been- Sir Robert Peel's "great difficulty;"
henceforth he in tends to make it his cushion for the
imposing reclination of his Ministerial dignity and
grandeur.—Hull Advertiser.

SWEET OIL OF TURPENTINE.—A most important
chemical discovery has been recently made, by means of
which oil of turpentine' can be freed from its peculiar
smell so completely th at not only is it inodorous but
can be impregnated with any desired perfume,
without at all deteriorating from its
useful pro-
perties. The eminent chemist, Dr. Serny, who has ana-
lysed the sweet oil of turpentine, states that while all the
useful properties of oil of turpentine are preservedobliinttacdt.
all its deleterious qualities are completely
thooilse of
noxious turpentvina
The doctor also states that paint, when ter
mixed obliterated
sweet
peOiusrsfree which orn smell and does not
emit
are so prejudicial to
health; and that, in short, the use of sweet oil of turpen-
tine is a certain preventive of painter's colic, and by its
use house painting becomes a perfectly inodorous process.
THE PRINTERS' PENSION SOClETY.—Yesterday a
meeting of the subscribers and committee of manage-
ment of the above institution was held at the London
Tavern, Mr. T. Palmer in the chair. The following
rule was adopted:—" That the relief to be henceforth
affort led be by pensions of 141. to the males and 91. to
fur the year ending
each widow per year. The report
Decen. ber,
1848, showed that the society had, in com-
mon w ith others, suffered from the political events of the
year, the annual subscriptions having fallen to 4701.,
being less by 501, than the receipts of the previous year.
The anniversary dinner at the London Tavern, presided
over by the Marquis of North;mapton, from the same
cause, had only amounted to 2451. 10s., but notwithstand-
ing the deficiency of the income the society's payments
had not been curtailed; but, on the contrary, there had
been an increase of 281. paid to pensioners this year.
There are 2 .vow 56 pensioners on the funds. The finan-
cial stateine,lt showed that the balance at last audit was
1171. 12s. 9d. ; donations and subscriptions, 4891. lOs ;
legacies of lot 4. from the late John Brettell, Esq., and
101. from the 1 ate John Wilson, Etq., had enabled the
committee to increase their funded property to
5,2091. ss. 7d„ producing 200/ per annum interest.
The balance in; ,the hands of the treasurer was above
601. Mr. liens •
y 1.71ey, of Bangor House, was elected
president for the enst,'Wg year.
