HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, JUNE 13.—The important work of
the revision of the fundamental law is now completed
by the joint labours of the Cabinet Council and the
Cabinet of the State, who have been incessantly occu-
pied in the task assigned to them. His MAJESTY has
nearly always been present at some part of the deli-
berations, and takes the deepest interest in the
subject. The new constitution is to be submitted to
the States General on the 20th of this month, for
which day the Chamber has been convoked. A pro-
ject of law is to be submitted to the Chamber in
their approaching session by the Minister of Justice,
for the abolition of capital punishment. Tae law, it
is said, is to come in force in three days after its pro
promulgation.—Staats Courant, June 14.
The following are the modifications introduced into
the fundamental law bythe Ministry :

" Art. 8, relative to the liberty of the press.
" Art. 10, relative to the liberty of meetings.
" Arts. 40 and 45, relative to the regency.
" Art. 55, relative to the royal prerogative concerning
the nomination of the officers.
" Art 56, relative to the administration of the colonies.

" Arts. 72 to 74, relative to the regulations for the
election of the deputies to the first and second chambers
of the States General.

" Art. 82, relative to the period for which the mem
bers of the first Chamber are elected.

" Art. 86, relative to incompatibilities.
" Art. 117, relative to the composition of the provin
cial States.

" Art. 132, relative to local administration, and the
nomination of the burgomasters.
" Art. 160, relative to the income and pensions of the
clergy.
" Art. 162, relative to religious liberty.
" Arts. 33, 105, 121, and 202 of the fundamental law,
have, it appears, been introduced into the present. The
Members of the first Chamber shall be elected for the
term of nine years, a third part to go out, and to be re-
placed every three years. The Members shall be re-
eligible. The King is to have the prerogative of nomi-
nating the President of the first Chamber, as well as of
the burgomasters.

NAPLES.

The Epoca of Rome, of the sth, states from
Naples, that the Ministers had presented a programme
to the KING, and their resignation in case he should
not accept it. The conditions were—the dismissal
of the Swiss, the re-organization, as before, of the
National Guards, the convocational of the Chambers
with the same deputies, and compete oblivion of the
past.

A thousand Sicilians, the vanguard of 6,000 more,
had entered Calabria. Lecce, Potenza, Cosenza, and
Teramo had already constituted their Provisional
Governments.

AUSTRIA.

The Wiener Zeitung, of the 21st April, says,
the battalion of the Trieste territorial militia, whose
courageous conduct adorned many a page of the his-
tory of our campaign in the years 1805, 1809, and
1813, and whose active services during the late
events contributed essentially, to the maintenance of
legal order, has addressed a note to Count NUGENT,
the general in command, volunteering to fight against
-he enemy, by means of which his army will receive
very considerable reinforcement.
The Minister of War, while bringing this satis-
factory token of the patriotic sentiments of the
Neste militia to the notice of his MAJESTY, con•
-iders himself called upon to make the above intel-
gence generally known.
His MAJESTY, after having accepted the resigna-

tioc of the burgomaster of Vienna,M. VON CZAPKO,
was pleased to declare, by an imperial resolution of
the 29th of March, that the po,t of burgomaster of
Vienna might be considered 'vacant. Previous to the
ruling up of this post, it appeared necessary to call
the attention of the burgher committee of Vienna to
,he altered state of things, and to suggest that the
office of burgomaster might probably call for some
,:codification. The burgher committee has, there-
,ore, resolved to defer the election till the middle of

A STEAMER- BLOWN UP —The Lucifer left this
city about half-past nine o'clock.
on Sunday morning,
for a trial trip to Mostyn, with a party of eight ladies
and eight gentlemen, and on her return, through Hoy-
lake, from three to a quarter past three o'clock in the
afternoon, touching the bank as she came through, the
sand got into the feed-pipe, and before the fires could
be drawn, or other precautions taken, an explosion took
place, by which the boiler and middle part of the vessel
were torn to atoms. There were five women on the bow
of the vessel when the accident took place; these fell
into the water, but were saved by the boat belonging to
the' vessel by the exertions of Mr. M'Ardle and one or
two more, who kept the ladies up till another beat came
to their assistance. The other women and the rest of
the crew were all aft, clear of. the boiler, and by this
means were safe, as this part of the vessel touched the
ground, and consequently was above the water. The
ladies were taken to the hotel at Hoylake, where they
were immediately put to bed; and received every atten-
tion. Greater hospitality could not, in fact, have been

SPAIN.

Madrid Journals of the 20th have been received.
The Heraldo announces, by authority, that in the
event of any fresh disturbances, a quarter of an hour's
grace would be granted in order to prevent bloodshed,
but that after that brief period had elapsed, no quarter
would be given. The proclamation is headed, "Notice
to the inhabitants of Madrid."

Notwithstanding this declaration, which will be
carried out to the very letter by NARVAEZ and his
sanguinary partisans, preparations are making by the
Spanish people for a desperate struggle against their
oppressors.
An immense quantity of muskets are concealed in
Madrid, the armoury having been entered by a sub-
terraneous passage, and a number of the guns in it
carried off. Orders have been given to take the
locks off the remainder, in case the same thing
should again occur. The Government is trying to
keep this misfortune from the knowledge of the pub-
lic, and its organs have orders to deny that it has oc-
curred.

A printed paper, of which the following is a trans-
lation, has been extensively circulated in Madrid :
'• People of Madrid I—You are about to become the
victims of the most cruel tyranny. An infamous Go-
vernment, which no longer possesses means of support
beyond robbery and corruption, has just committed the
last of iniquities.
" Maria Christina and her creatures are preparing to
escape with the plunder snatched from the bosom of this
unfortunate country. The bank, the tunas of which
they possessed themselves in order to deprive you of
your liberty, at the very time you were fighting for it,
is now in a state of bankruptcy. This is manifest by
the non-payment of its notes. It is in vain they attempt
to deceive you.
London, England, 1848-04-27

INSURANCE ASSOCIATION.

This was an action on a policy of insurance effected
on the cargo of a ship named the Joseph Alexander,
trading between Yarmouth and Goole, which was
wrecked and lost in one of its voyages to the latter
place. The plaintiff, the owner of the vessel, had a lien
on the goods which belonged to other parties to the ex-
tent of 7004, and to recover it he brought the action,
which was decided in his favour, as a verdict was ro-
turned for 7171. lOs.
Mr. PRENDERGAST now moved for a rule to show
cause why the verdict should not be set aside on the.
ground of misdirection. He (Mr. Prendergast) con-
tended that the plaintiff's claim was against the owners
of the goods and not upon the goods themselves, but the
Learned Judge told the jury that the plaintiff had a lien,
and that he possessed an insurable interest. He (Mr.

SWITZERLAND.

A letter from Bask of the 22d states that the rebel
HECKER, who had taken refuge there after his defeat
by the troops of Wurtemburg, had received orders to
gait. It was rumoured at Basle that STRUVE and
HERWEGII had also made their appearance there to
raise recruits among the Germans. On the 21st a
band of 2,500 Germans, commanded by SIEGES DE
Scuorrmx, assembled at Basle, rather better armed,
it is said, than the band which HECKER had com-
manded, bat on the news .of the defeat of IlEcaxx,
and the approach of the troops of Bavaria and Wur-
temburg, they made a hasty march towards Schmitt.
A letter from Berne of the 22ci says--" The Diet
has adjourned its sittings to May 12. Before
separating it adopted the report of the Committee
charged with the distribution of the sums subscribed
in favour of the victims of the war against the
Sonderbund. It referred to a Committee the
demand of the Cantons of Uri, Schwitz, Zug,
and Underwalden, to have the sequestration taken
off which had been placed on the ammunition and
stores belonging to them, and seized on at Tessino.
It also heard several communications relati►e to
the events occurring in Germany. A personage,
guarding the strictest incognito, arrived here last
night, and put up at the Hotel du Faucon. He left
this morning early for Geneva. It is supposed that
it is the ex-King of BAVARIA going to rejoin Low.

BOURSE-PARIS, WEDNESDAY. APRIL 26.

THREE O'CLOCK.-A ',cry considerable amount of
business was transact, d to-day, and the Bourse, in
some measure, exhibited the activity which it was ac
custom, d to manifest before the revolution. The re-
sult of the Paris elecions being now pretty well
known to be decidedly in favour of the more moderate
party, sl.eculators augur well from the fact, and con-
sider the moment favourable for purchasing stock.
In consequence, demands flowed in throughout the
whole day's business, and almost in every case the
last prices are the highest. Lists of the returns made
up in the different sections were all day being
handed about at the Bourse, and from them it would
appear, that. even in the arrondissements most remark-
able for their democratic tendencies, the ultra party have
not the advantage. The Three per Cents. opened at
411. 75c., and closed at 44f. 50c., being an advance of
31. 25c.; the Five per Cents. opened at 63f. 50c., and
closed at 65f., or 3t. higher than the day before. Bank
of France shares were again exceedingly demanded, and
show an advance of nut less than 170 f. ; Roman has
risen 2it:, closing at 544 f.; Belgian Fives (1840), lit.,
63t.; ditto (1842). 21., at 6351.; Rothschild's Neapo-
litan' It., at 535€.; Obligations de la Vile, 5f., at 1,030 t.;
-nd Piedmont, 10f., at 860 f.; Bons du Trftior were
'lone at first at 39 per cent. less, and towards the close
the clay at 371.; but it has been remarked, that few
x.;ll,ons at present consent to make this hoary sacrifice.
ittalwit) Shares weir also exceedingly buoyant, and

DanieleßmE Stewart, delrlirnlglALEjewlterlerDnuartiLti
died at his lodging..
in Keptie-street, Arbroath. Stewart had been frequently
in the habit of visiting Arbroath with the twosatl
boxes of jewellery with which he travelled; but his ap-
pearance and apparel, as well as his penurious habits,
led to the conclusion that he was far from being in
affluent circumstances. After his death, his landlady,
accompanied by a man of business and a magistrate, had
his effects sealed up, and, to their very great surprise,
found that, instead .of the few trumpery articles which
they naturally supposed had formed his stock in trade,
there was a very large collection of valuable gold and
silver watches, diamond finger-rings and pins, not a few
of the rings enamelled and set in diamonds, besides other
articles of great value. There were at the same time
found two deposit bank receipts for the sums of 200/. and
26/. respectively. No relations having appeared, and in
the absence of any settlement by the deceased, Mr.
Robertson, the sheriff-substitute of Forfar, and Mr.
Forsyth, the procurator-fiscal, arrived at Arbroath on
Wednesday last, and took possession of the whole pro-
perty on behalf of the Crown. The entire value of the
preperty is supposed to be not less than 600 L Stewart's
wearing apparel was valued yesterday by a broker, and
curiously enough, as if to mark the contrast which his
stock in trade exhibited to the meanness of his garb, the
latter was found to be worth *enormous ram of 2e.fd.

SPAIN.

Madrid Journals of the 20th have been received.
The Heraldo announces, by authority, that in the
event of any fresh disturbances, a quarter of an hour's
grace would be granted in order to prevent bloodshed,
but that after that brief period had elapsed, no quarter
would be given. The proclamation is headed, "Notice
to the inhabitants of Madrid."
Notwithstanding this declaration, which will be
carried out to the very letter by NA&VAEZ and his
sanguinary partisans, preparations are making by the
Spanish people for a desperate struggle against their
oppressors.
An immense quantity of muskets are concealed in
Madrid, the armoury having been entered by a sub-
terraneous passage, and a number of the guns in it
carried off. Orders have been given to take the
locks off the remainder, in ease the same thing
should again occur. The Government is trying to
keep this misfortune from the knowledge of the pub-
lic, and its organs have orders to deny that it has oc-
curred.

A printed paper, of which the following is a trans-
lation, has been extensively circulated in Madrid :
People of Madrid I—You are about to become the
victims of the most cruel tyranny. An infamous Go-
vernment, which no longer possesses means of support
beyond robbery and corruption, has just committed the
last of iniquities.
" Maria Christina and her creatures are preparing to
escape with the plunder snatched from the bosom of this
unfortunate country. The bank, the funds of which
they possessed themselves in order to deprive you of
your liberty, at the very time you were tighting for it,
is now in 'a state of bankruptcy. This is manifest by
the son-payment of its notes. It is in vain they attempt
to deceive you.

AUSTRIA.

The Wiener Zeitung, of the 21st April, says,
the battalion of the Trieste territorial militia, whose
,;ourageous conduct adorned many a page of the his-
ory of our campaign in the years 1805, 1809, and
1813, and whose active services during the late
events contributed essentially to the maintenance of
legal order, has addressed a note to Count NUGENT,
the general in command, volunteering to fight against
!he enemy, by means of which his army will receive
very considerable reinforcement.
[he Minister of War, while bringing this satis-
r'actory token of the patriotic sentiments of the
I'rieste militia to the notice of his MAJESTY, con-
-iders himself called upon to make the above intel-
4ence generally known.
His MAJESTY, after having accepted the resigna-
ioc of the burgomaster of Vienna, M. Vox CzArso,
was pleased to declare, by an imperial resolution of
he 29th of March, that the post of burgomaster of
Vienna might be considered vacant. Previous to the
tilling up of this post, it appeared necessary to call
.he attention of the burgher committee of Vienna to
:he altered state of things, and to suggest that the
office of burgomaster might probably call for some
modification. The burgher committee has, there-
,ore, resolved to defer the election till the middle of
May.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 211 publishes a
otter, dated Botzen, April IU, which says—

" We lelrt) from Verona that Field-Marshal Radetzky
has undertaken a general r-connoitre on the line tr,ni
Verona to Mantua, and the result was that preponde-
ming forces were seen everywhere.
" Large stores of provisions were being br, ught to the
head-quarters. The reinforcements from Austria hay.
[eft the Tz•inso, and are in full march through the Ve-
-,.•rian territory to Verona.

" P.S.—Wehave just received a large cJnsigntriPtit of
.luns from the army in Ita►y. They are the result of
he disarming Which liadetzky ord, red at Verona."

PRUSSIA.

Letters from Posen of the 20th April represent the
•.ate of affairs of that duchy as very usatisfactory.
l'he large encampment is broken up, but those who
:•sinposed it are re-assembling in smaller groups in
other quarters.

MiEaosL&w.xl has again addressed the KING,
-rating that the people are by no means satisfied with
the former concessions, because Count MILZYNSKI
,:ltered the positions on his own responsibility. The
4.reatest apprehensions are entertained for the Easter
;estival.

SWITZERLAND•

A letter from Berne, of the 21st inst., saYst--
" The Directory last night received accounts which
rendered it necessary to hold a meeting this morninearsg.
Fhe following particulars have transpired:—It app
that a serious colliAon has taken e
place in Meshed
Duch) of Baden between the workmen who wished to
the
ustablish a republic in Germany, and the troops of
Grand
Grand Duke, in which the Republican party were routed,
and sought refuge on the Swiss frontier. The cantons
of Schaffhausen, Bale. and Argau, immediately called
out some battalions, in order to secure the frontier. e
" The Genevese section of the general association of
the Swiss people has unanimously decided on proposing
ro the Upper Diet, and to the states through the
DireS'
ti•ry, the convocation of a coastituent assembly nion'
by the people."
London, England, 1848-04-27

RUSSIA.

A letter from Konigsburg of the 17th, in the
Deutsch Zeitung, says—
" Three Russian regiments of the guards left St.
Petersburgh, a few days since, in ilia first instance to
.arrison Riga. A command has likewise been issued to
:he military authorities at Mitau immediately to pur
base 6,000 horses for conveying the baggage and ar.
!illery."

The accounts from St. Petersburgh state that the
xpected prohibition of the export of the precious
metals had not been issued, and that the Ministry
have declared that there will be no obstacle to the free
export of them.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES

Skirmishes, leading to no results, are of daily oc-
currence between the Danish troops and the Holstein
volunteers. It would appear that the volunteers,
who have yet to learn that. discretion is the better
part of valour, are much in the way of the regular
troops of Prussia. The country is flat, and not at all
adapted to guerilla fighting, and these volunteers are
constantly getting into danger, from which the
regular troops have to rescue them. The Commander-
in-Chief for Schleswig-Holstein has i.sued a pro.
clamation to the effect that no further volunteers are
wanted, and begging the different committees formed
in Germany to desist from sending them, as they are
not wanted.

On the 12d the Prussians and Ilanoverians quitted
Rendsburg, where they are to be replaced by the
Oldenburghers, and moved to Witteensee and
,chested, the latter the site of the battle between
the Swedes and Danes in 1613, towards Eckert-
forde, so that it would seem as if the attack on
the Danish camp would be on the east side
of the duchy. From eye- vs itnes►es it is learnt that
their entrenchments commence at Schleswig, at
which town they have much strengthened the means
of defence, and extend along the old Danish wall by
liollingstead towards Husun—thus it may be seen
that their position is a strong one, as they are pro-
tected on their left by the bay of the Sky, and on
their right, towards Husun, by turf, moors, acid
morasses. The entrenchments protecting the Danes
are sandwalls, eight or ten feet high, with dry ditches
in front, and as the heavy shot will bury themselves
in the sand without shattering the wall, it will be a
tough business to force their position, and must cost
the allies many men. As, therefore, regular pre-
parations must be made for the attack, it is probable
some days may yet elapse before any decisive affair
can coma eff. The Dann have advanced sole 000P0

cognised the Apostle of Freedom and the Vindicator

emulated each other in their struggle against despotism.
Of France it is unnecessary to say more than that a
third and consummating revolution has permanently
rooted Republicanism in the capital city of the Carlo-
vingian and the Napoleonian empires. Switzerland
has cemented her Federal Constitution by the blood
spilt in internecine strife, and has planted for ever
the symbols of her unity upon the ruins of the Son.

LONDON SACRED HARMONIC

SOCIETY.
Last evening the "London Sacred Harmonic So-
ciety," composed chiefly of seceders from the
" Sacred Harmonic," gave their first performance at
Exeter-hall, under the direction of Mr. Surman, the
late director of the old Society. Handel's oratorio
" Judas Maccabeus" was selected for the occasion,
and upon the whole it was performed in an effective
manner. The solo parts were given by Miss Birch,
the Misses Williams, Miss Duval, Mr. Sims Reeves,
Mr. Stewart, &c. The chorus, a numerous one,
afforded a full volume of voice, but for want of effi-
cient industry, they were often,-to use a common ex-
pression, "at sea" in some of the most important
passages. The audience who mark these defects are
little aware how much depends upon the sentiment
infused into a large body of performers by spirited
and decided conducting ; and this, to say the plain
truth, they had not last night at the hands of Mr.
Surman. The orchestra, led by Mr. H. Blagrove,
and including most of the principal names on the
various instruments, was an effective one.
The most striking feature of the evening was the
production of a "New National Hymn," the words
by Mr. G. Linley, the music by W. V. Wallace (the
composer of Maritana), and which was given after
the conclusion of the first part, with the whole
strength vocal and instrumental of the company. It
is a massive production in the key of C; every note
comes out as it were chiselled in a rock ; and there
are some effects produced in the introduction of the
various voices, which evinced a genius of composition
of a superior order. In the passage—
" Holy Power ! upon her smile,
Guard her from each traitors wile,"
And again, in
" May her reign extended be,
O'er a people blest and free;"
the female voices came in in a sort of echo to the
latter lines with an effect which was striking and
picturesque in the highest degree. So also the brass
accompaniments, piano, to the line—
" Peace and joy her steps attend,"
were skilfully and beautifully introduced. Theburst
upon the refrain " God bless the Queen !" was ex-
tremely grand. The " New National Hymn" (con-
ducted by the composer) was received with enthu-
siastic applause, and unanimously redemanded.
Mr. Surman was applauded on his appearance in
the orchestra, and at the close of the oratorio was
honoured with renewed cheering.
The performance was in aid of the fund for the
relief of English refugee artisans from France, and
we are happy to add that the great room was ex-
tremely well attended.
