- -
THE HAGUE, Nov. 7.--His Majesty the KING, by
a royal decree of the 3d of November, has dissolved
the Commission of the States, charged by the decree
of the 17th of March, to present a project of the com-
plete revison of the fundamental law, and at the same
time offered his acknowledgments to this Commission
for the services which it had rendered to their King
and country.

His Majesty, by the same decree, has appointed
Messrs. DERE,
.DONICER, CURTIUs DB KEMPENAE•
RAND, L. L. LUZAC, Commanders of the Order of the
Netherlands Lion, and Messrs. L. D. STORM and
J. H. THORBECAR, Couneillors of State on extraor-
dinary service. These gentlemen are all members
of the Commission of the States.
The promulgation of the modified fundamental law
took place on the 3d, with all the solemnity- of a national
fete. The public buildings, the residence of the Minis-
ter, and a great number of private houses, were deco-
rated with flags and national colours; and the bells of
the great church rang a merry peal during the day.
The numerous preparations which were made indicated
that in the evening there would be a very brilliant
illumination ; but, unhappily, a pouring rain, which
did not cease throughout the whole night, prevented
this favourite popular demonstration of rejoicing.
Notwithstanding the unfavourable weather consi-
derable crowds moved to and fro in the streets and
public squares, which, throughout, presented a most
animated aspect.
The north façade of the Palace of the KING was
brilliantly and tastefully illuminated with gas; the
band of the regiment of Grenadiers and Chasseurs,
placed in one of the Gothic towers, at intervals per-
formed brilliant pieces and national airs.
Between the two towers, the words " GOD is met
Neederland" (" Gon is with the Netherlands") showed
brilliantly. On the open space round the statue of
William the Taciturn, an illumination inj wreaths
had a remarkable fine appearance, and an orchestra
was erected where the band of the Communal
Guard performed throughout the evening the na-
tional airs, and several fine pieces of music. Various
hotels and private houses were illuminated, especially
on the Voorhout, where the words " Orange of
Patrie" were blazoned in gas.
At the National Theatre, which was crowded, the
manager read some verses, entitled " The Third of
November," which were received with the most lively
applause by the whole audience.

Thus this memorable day, which cannot fail to ex-
ercise a most happy influence on the future welfare
of our country, was celebrated with great festivity.
The Steals Courant states that the Plenipoten-
tiaries of his Majesty the King of the NETILEELANDS
and her Majesty the QUEEN of Great Britain, agreed
on the 31st of August, IE4B, respecting additional
articles to the treaty concluded at the Hague on the
4th of May, 1818, respecting the slave trader and that
the views of both Governments on these additional
articles were exchanged on the 24th October. The
Steals Courant gives these articles at full length.—

IN RE MORALE.

The bankrupt, a coal merchant, applied for his cer-
tificate.

Mr. DUNCAN opposed, on th© grounds of a vexatious
defence to an action, and excessive expenditure.
After some discussion,

His Honour, Commissioner PANE, said that the bank-
rupt only owed 1,0001., and had about 5001. to pRy it
with; and taking all the circumstances of the case into
consideration, the Learned Commissioner considered
that public bankruptcy was a sufficient punishment for
him, and granted the certificate forthwith.

THE DINNER TO SIR C. NAPIER.
The committee of the dinner to Sir Charles Napier,
the hero of Sinde, which is to be given on the 16th
inst., have received the following letter from Lord
Hardinge
" South Park, Oct. 30.

" Lord Hardinge presents his compliments to the
committee, and, in reply to their letter, regrets that
it will not be in his power to be present at the dinner
about to be given in Dublin to Sir Charles Napier.
He is consoled for his absence, which is unavoidable,
by the fact that he has already had the gratification
of witnessing the reception of his distinguished friend
in the midst. of his comrades of the navy and army
in the United Service Club, and of there expressing
his sentiments of admiration for the great ability dis-
played and eminent services rendered by that gallant
officer, and which he is confident will be celebrated
by his fellow countrymen in Ireland in a manner
worthy of the illustrious man whom it is intended to
honour."

FRANCE.

Abd-el-Kader left Bordeaux on Sunday morning in
the Caiman for Nantes, whence he is to proceed to
the. Château of Amboise. He was conducted to the
steamer by the Archbishop of Bordeaux ; and on the
quay a guard of honour was drawn up to salute him
as he embarked.
The Minister of Agriculture is taking measures for
the immediate organization of the National Agrono-
mical Institute at Versailles. Three farms belonging
to the Park, viz., those of the Menagerie, Satory, and
Gally-Cherreloup, have been marked out, each to be
applied to a different branch of agriculture. In that
of the Menagerie experiments will be made in the
improvement of the *different breeds of horses ; in
that of Gally-Cherreloup the breeds of horned cattle,
and at that of Satory in the breed of sheep and other
wool-bearing animals. The extensive woods of Ver-
sailles will afford means of instruction in wood-craft,
and other branches of agricultural economy, and hor-
ticulture will not be neglected. In the above farms,
in addition, agricultural experiments properly so
called, will be conducted on an extensive scale.

THE CORN TRADE.

LEEDS, Nov. 7.—The supply of wheat is moderatp,
and the trade is very firm at fully Friday's prim.
Barley is without alteration in value. Beans sell at lae
rates. Oats, shelling, and other articles, without materid
variation.

HULL, Nov. 7.—Much rain has fallen daily durirg
the past week, making seeding operations almost in-
possible. On Friday night we had a complete gale
wind and sleet; on Saturday a good deal of snow, fo.
lowed on Sunday by a very sharp frost, which has sine
almost disappeared. The transactions of the week hav
been on a limited scale, Laid quite of a retail charactek
still, fair prices have been made, stocks in granary bein,
moderate our weekly import is little interfered wit(
We have for this day's market a good supply of wheg
from our own farmers and a better show of foreign tha
of late; fresh, dry samples of English met ready sale a
fully the rates of last week, but anything out of condi
tion was most difficult to quit. The farmers gave de
plorable accounts as to the flooded state of the country
In foreign wheat not much doing—•priced unaltered

More choice in malting barley than of late, and the
market somewhat easier; still the fine qualities meet
buyers. Grinding barley goes off freely, at 28s per 52ilb.
Very little passing in other kinds of spring corn.' Beans
(small old) are held at 365; new foreign, 33s to 3Ss.
White Peas, 365, grinding; 38s boiling. Old tares for
feeding inquired for, and may be bought in the line. The
arrivals of linseed are more moderate than of late, and
the market is very firm, at 40s 'Black Sea, 36s Memel,
and other qualities in proportion. More inquiry after
first makes of English linseed cakes, and a fair business
doing both on present and forward deltv'ery: Rapeseed
sells from ship at 241 to 241 10s, as in quality and condi-
tion, but the business doing is not great. More business
has been done in rape cakes, both English and oreign,
but at low rates. The market is, however, firmer'. Ono
or two panels have been landed, Guano is ealeable at
91 5s Peruvian, which is most esteemed; some good
Ichabne also in the market at 81 10s. Bones are saleable
from the ship at 85i to 87s 6d.

THE VACANT BISHOPRIC.

Many candidates are in the field for the vacant
bishopric of Down, Connor, and Dromore; but it is
considered likely that the mitre will be offered to the
Rev. Dr. Sadlier, who, it is supposed, will be suc-
ceeded in the provostship of Trinity College by the
Rev. Dr. Elrington. A year or two since Dr. El-
rington, who is Regius Professor of Divinity in the
University of Dublin, gave his adhesion to the
national system of education. But it is probable that
no appointment will be made until the return of the
Lord-Lieutenant from England.
The following very curious statement on this sub-
ject appears in the Banner of Ulster, an organ of the
Presbyterian body in the northern province :
" The death of Bishop Mant will, in all likelihood,
lead to other great changes in the diocese of Down, and
Connor and Dromore. His Lordship was strenuously
opposed to the system of national education, and there is
every probability that his successor will be a supporter
of that system. We suspect that in a short time the
violent tirades against the connexion of Presbyterian
ministers with the National Board, which have receatly
been so common in this quarter, will be heard of no
more. At all events, if the ministers of the Establish-
ment act consistently, they are bound to withdraw
from the episcopal jurisdiction of Dr. Mant's successor,
should he happen to be an adherent of that system.
A few months will, therefore, test the sincerity of
certain gentlemen to whom we need not more par.
titularly advert. Dr. Mant, though the author of a
considerable number of publications, never attained
much celebrity as a writer, •as neither his style nor his
matter was very attractive. In prirate life he sys, we
bolieve, a kind and good-natured man ; hut his sectarian
prejudices were exceedingly strong, and in many ques-
tions of Church discipline he approached very closely
to the views et' the rusejiteth V rives specilkitioll4 axe

CASE OF MR. MARTIN.

In the Court of Queen's Bench yesterday, counsel
applied in the case of Mr. John Martin (late of the
Felon newspaper) versus the Queen in error, that a
writ of habeas corpus do issue that Mr. Martin might
be brought before the Court, and further, that their
Lordships would fix Thursday for the purpose of as-
signing error. Both applications were granted by the
Chief Justice. The point relied upon to sustain the
writ rests solely upon an objection raised during the
trial to the admissibility of a " burgess" of the city of
Dublin to act as a juror in a case of felony, inasmuch
as that by the charters granted to the Lord Mayor
aldermen, and burgesses of Dublin in the reign of
Henry V. and other Sovereigns, burgesses, as part of
the corporation, were entitled to the property of
persons convicted of felony, and that, consequently,
any burgess acting as a juror had a direct interest in
the conviction of Mr. Martin.
ANOTHER DARING ROBBERY.

A Queen's County correspondent of the Freeman
writes—

"On Sunday, between the hours of 10 and 11
o'clock, as a pensioner named Kearney was proceed-
ing from Mountmellick to Clonaslee, for the purpose
of lodging the second halves of 771. with the staff-
sergeant there, he was met near Mr. Sabbtier's gate
(two miles from Mountmellick) by two armed men,
who knocked him off his horse and ordered him to
deliver the pensioners' money which he had about
him. Kearney, after some resistance, handed the pre-
cious bundle, which, upon examination, they found to
their utter disappointment to be but half notes ; these
they flung back in his face with curses, and proceeded
to rifle his pockets, in which they found Bs. 6d. After
taking this triflng sum they decamped without
offering Kearney any further molestation, leaving
him in possession of his bundle of half notes.
Lieutenant J. 0. Lloyd, the staff officer of the
Queen's County, attended at Mountmellick on
Saturday, for the purpose of paying the pen-
sioners of that district, and transmitted through the
post-office there the first halves of 771. for the
Clonaslee district; at the same time giving Kearney
the corresponding halves, with balance of Bs. 6d ,
with which he was to proceed to the staff-sergeant on
the ensuing morning. It is very probable that the
men who robbed Kearney were watching Mr. Lloyd's
movements on the previous evening at Mountmellick,
and expected that, as usual, he would have continued
his route to Clonaslee ; but in this, as well as in the
robbery, they were disappointed. The orders from
the Horse Guards are, that when staff officers appre-
hend danger in their tour of payment to out-stations,
they may call to their assistance a sufficient escort of
pensioners and allow them 25. 6d. a day each. I have
just heard there is a clue by which the police expect
to effect the apprehension of one of the robbers."
The Evening Mail contradicts the reported retire-
ment from Parliamentary life of the Hon. Colonel
Westenra, one of the Members for the King's County.

AUSTRIA.

The Breslau Gazette of the 4th instant states that
perfect tranquillity had been restored at Vienna in
consequence of the excellent discipline established by
Prince Windischgratz, who had ordered that some
soldiers should be shot for having pillaged the inhabi-
tants. It was reported that the Prince had been fired
at. It was likewise said that a portion of the
National Guards had refused to surrender their arms.
Prince Windischgratz and Baron Jellachich had
established their quarters in the Imperial Palace.
The leader of the Academic Legion had been arrested,
together with an aide-de-camp of General Messen-
bauser. General Cordon had been appointed Go-
vernor of the city.

DENMARK.
Letters from Copenhangen of the 27th ult. state
that Herr Nyholin put a question to the Minister of
Foreign Affairs in the Chamber the preceding day
respecting the unexpected arrival of the Commis-
sioners Reedtz and Stedrnann at Copenhagen. Count
Knuth replied that, although the Government was
perfectly willing to give every information to the
Chamber, he could only then state, for its satisfaction,
that the new Government Commission having greatly
transgressed the limits of its lawful competency, M.
Reedtz had determined to leave Schleswig, and was
perfectly justified in so doing. The Minister viewed
the adhesion of the German to the Danish Govern-
ment Commissioner as a favourable sign. He pro-
mised to give further explanations in the course of a
few days.

no disposition evinced Ato force a sale. The quantities of
British plantation littded last week at the East and
West India Docks was 863 hhds. 106 tierces, 110 bar-
rels ; there were taken for home consumption 1,158

LONDON, TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 22, 1848.

Chinese perfidy promises to effect a radical im-
provement in the distribution of our maritime forces.
The accounts yesterday received from Canton will
do more, we should imagine, towards the reduction
of an useless and even profligate
expenditure of our
naval pOwer than the most sanguine aspirations of
Mr. COBDEN, or the most stubborn statistics of Mr.
Hums. The Hon. Gentleman, the representative for
the West Riding of Yorkshire, may depict in glow-
ing colours the securities afforded to Great Britain
by the downfal of the Protective system ; he may
demand the instant and wholesale reduction of our
maritime armaments, because of the pacific ten-
dencies of an emancipated commerce ; but
the intelligence which has, within twenty-four
hours, reached England from the shores of
he Chinese , dominions, will, in en instant,
r%Wy :liis aerial yisions into thin air, and prove that

ASTLEY'S THEATRE.

A new grand equestrian, fairy spectacle, entitled
the Battle of the Amazons, was produced here last
night with the most complete success. The scene is
laid in Grenada in the time of the Moors, and
this affords an opportunity for the display of
magnificent scenery, superb dresses, and decora-
tions, of which Mr. W. West, under whose super-
intendence this superb spectacle has been pro-
duced, has known well how to avail himself. The
plot is nearly the same as that of the, Revolt of the
Harem, save that in the Battle of the Amazons the
fair revolters have in their army cavalry as well as
infantry, and certainly no cavalry were ever more
perfect in their evolutions than were the female
cavalry at Astley's. The piece was completely and
deservedly successful, and we congratulate Mr. Batty
on the production of a spectacle which will carry
him on with crowded houses every night until Easter
at least.

18. That in the case of the Eastern Counties Railway
(Ilford to Tilbury Fort and Southend, with a Branch

First sixteen Resolutions agreed to.—Report to lie on
the table.

The following Railway Bills were ordered to be
brought in:—
Newport and Pontypool Act Amendment.
Northern Counties Union Amendment and Deviation.
Scottish Midland Junction (Amendment and Branch to

Laurencekirk).
Scottish Midland Junction (Amendment and Branches
to Birnan, &c.)

Laurien—Yes.

The President then read the sentence of the Court,
ordering Laurien to be taken into custody on a charge
of perjury, but declaring, nevertheless, that he should
be present every day during the trial, under the sur-
veillance of the police agents, in order that he might re-
tract if he should think proper to do so.
Two gendarmes stepped forward to lay hold of
Laurien, but, with a calm and moderate bearing, he
advanced towards them, and gave himself up. He was
then ordered to take a seat between the two gen-
darmes. He did so, his countenance still retaining the
tranquillity which it had manifested during the whole of
this trying scene. As to the prisoner Leotade, he did
not appear to be moved by what had passed in any way.
His features did not change their expression, or rather
their want of expression, once.
The proceedings were then adjourned.
London, England, 1848-02-22

ELECTION COMMITTEES.

The Lancashire and Peebleshire Election Com-
mittees were called to the table and sworn.
In answer to a question put by Lord MituoN,
Lord R. GROSVENOR said that he was not
responsible for the merits of the Bill.
Lord MAHON wished to know whether any Hon.
Member present was responsible for the Bill ? It
was a most monstrous thing that the House should be
called upon to dispose of a Bill of this nature, when
not one Hon. Member avowed himself responsible for
its merits.

Mr. STAFFORD knew as much about the Bill
as any one in the House, and he considered it a most
impudent endeavour, on the part of a public company,
to set at nought the decision of a Committee of this
House, to the effect that the subject ought again to
be inquired into.
Mr. LUSIIINGTON quite agreed with what had
fallen from his Gallant Colleague (Sir D. L. Evans)
on the subject of this Bill. The Bill was opposed by
four hundred butchers who were constituents of his,
and he should most certainly give to the Bill his
most decided opposition.
Mr. G. THOMPSON said, that as the tendency of
this Bill was to increase the price of provisions, by
placing an extra amount of difficulties in the way of
the 5,000 journeymen butchers of London, he should
most decidedly oppose the further progress of the
measure.

Mr. BROTHERTON said that he should take
upon himself the responsibility of dividing the House
upon the question.—(Cries of " Withdraw.")
Sir B. HALL said that he did not believe there
was a single metropolitan Member who would be
found to give his support to the Bill, and he trusted
that the llon Member would withdraw it.
After a few words from Sir Was. lIRATHCOTE and
Lord R. GROSVENOR, the amendment was agreed to
without a division, and the Bill was consequently lost.
EJECTED TENANTS (IRELAND).
Mr. S. CRAWFORD gave notice that he would,
on Tuesday, the 7th of March, move for leave to
bring in a Bill to secure the rights of ejected tenants.
CUSTOMS.

Mr. MACGREGOR gave notice, that on Tuesday
tee 2nd of March, he :should move for the appoint-
ment of a Select Committee to inquire into the
management and regulation of the Customs.
DOCK YARDS.

Mr. MACGREGOR gave notice that on Monday
the 7th of March he should move for a select coin-
mittee to inquire into the management and expen-
diture of tue naval dockyards of the United Kingdom.

TURNPIKE TRUSTS.

The Earl of RADNOR presented a petition pray-
ing for the consolidation of turnpike trusts, and for
the introduction of a measure regulating parish
highways.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the subject
was under the consideration of the Government, and
that a measure would be introduced for the regula-
tion of parish highways.

ANDOVER ELECTION.

The SPEAKER acquainted the House that he had
received a letter from the petitioners, complaining of
an undue election and return for the borough of An-
dover, stating it was not their intention to proceed with
the same.

The order for taking the petition into consideration
was accordingly read and discharged.

WAYS AND MEANS.

Mr. BERNAL brought up the report or the resolu-
tions adopted in Committee of Ways and Means, which
were agreed to, and leave given to bring in a Bill f oundt d
thereon.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

Mr. Macready appeared last night, at this theatre,
in conjunction with Airs. Butler, these two artists
having been re-engaged by Mr. Maddox for a short
period prior to the departure of the former for the
provinces. To remark upon Macready's performance
of Macbeth is superfluous; it is sufficient to state
that he played it with the picturesqueness with which
the public is so well familiar, and that his melo-
dramatic points told with all their original force.
Mrs. Butler's Lady Macbeth is a careful, painstaking,
and well-considered reading of the character, but
seldom soaring above the respectable, and amply
studded with the drawling and undignified peculiari-
ties of this once popular lady. She exhibits clever-
ness and great practical skill, but her pretensions to
genius have long since been disposed of. Her acting
in the dagger scene is impressive, notwithstanding its
powerlessness and the lack of Siddonian grandeur.
The house was well attended, and the reception given
to the two artists was flattering.

REPORTED REVGLUTION IN

RUSSIA.

The German papers mention a rumour that a revo-
lution had broken out in Russia.
The National Zeitung publishes a letter from
Breslau of the 18th, which says—
" A revolution has broken out simultaneously at
St. Petersburgh and Moscow. Travellers who have
arrived here from Russian-Poland unanimously con-
firm this intelligence. The EMPEROR has fled to
Cronstadt. A provisional Government has been
established at St. Petersburgh. Further details are
as yet not known. The Prussian messenger at St.
Petersburgh has arrived here with the Vienna mail.
The same train has also conveyed a Russian courier.
The Kolner Zeitung publishes similar intelli-
gence, and adds:—
"This is the information which we have received.
We are not enabled to confirm it from authentic sources,
neither can we disprove it. All we can say is, that all
news coining from Russia ought to b© received with con-
siderable doubt and mistrust."

The Schlesische Zeitung, of the same date, brings
;he same news, with some additions:—

"The rumour of a successful revolution in Russia
came first to Breslau on the evenin!, of the 17th, by a
traveller, who arrived with the night" train from Myslo-
witz. It was confirmed on the tollowing day by the
Prussian Consul at Warsaw, who passed through
Breslau on his way to Berlin. Tho revolution, it ap-
pears, was effected by a monster conspiracy. Its out-
break was contemporaneous in the two capitals. The
troops ret used to fire on the people. The Emperor ma-
naged to effect his escape to Cronstadt, and a Provisional
Government was proclaimed at St. Petersburgh.
The Oder Zeitung, too, publishes the same report,
almost literally ; but the Preussische Staatsanzeiger,
of the 22d, has no news whatever under the head of
" Russia." 6

WANDSWORTH.

James Watson, a brickmaker, was brought up on a
warrant, charging him with having violently assaulted
John Mullins, an assistant to Corporal Leslie, of the
Royal Sappers and Miners, who, with a private in the
same regiment, is engaged in carrying out the Ordnance
Survey in this district.
The complainant, a young Irishman, of rather ragged
exterior, and to the back of whose coat a large lump of
clay was adhering, stated that on that morning, about
ten o'clock, he was sent into a brick-field below West-
hill Villa Lodges, and requiring a level standing, took
ono of some bricks he saw in a row, for the purpose.
The defendant, without saying a word, rushed up to
him, caught hold of the collar of his coat with both
hands, and when complainant told him to let go, he said
he should go and fetch the brick he had been standing
on. Complainant brought it back, and defendant, after
pressing the brick, which was newly moulded, against
his breast, and dirtying him, told him to throw it into
the mill, which the horse was then walking, and as he
(complainant) was stooping to do so, defendant threw
another brick, which he had just made, at his back, and
theref most of it stuck. The defendant threw a second

POLAND.

The Cologne Gazette publishes the following from
iVarsaw

" The brutal conduct of the soldiers of the sth In-
fantry Regiment, in union with the Bth, which two now
comprise our garrison, increases. Ytiaterday evening a
general plunder of the eating houses at the Altmark
was apprehended. The tumult was so great that after
various eatables had been stolen, both the booths and
the shops were closed. We must do tho (..fficers the
credit to say that they did their utmost to check the
soldiers, but it is very evident that the reins of discipline
are somewhat slack. If the sth Regiment be not re-
called hence, we may expect events equal to those which
took place at Schweidwitz."
