CHARTIST CONVENTION.

- - - - - -
Th‘llelegates met at the usual hour yesterday morning,
when the chair was taken by Mr. Cummings (in the
absence of Mr. M‘Grath). Only 18 members of the
Convention were in attendance.

After the names of the delegates were called over,
along letter, thanking the Chartists for their exertions,
was read. It recommended them to insist that mono-
polies of every kind be at once abolished; to demand
that the six points of the Charter be immediately passed
into a law; that the military be distznded, and a
National Guard established which might be called out
two or three days a week for exercise and the use
of the " rifle;" that the Protestant Church be made
entirely dependent upon voluntary contributions for its
support; that all church lands be sold, the interest
on the national debt reduced, and that the people
be declared entitled to choose that form of government
which was most likely to produce the greatest comfort
and happiness to the greatest number. They were not
to agitate for civil war, but it was evident that the motive
which :influenced the present Government was self-ag-
grandisement. The writer cot chided by again repeating
that he did not wish for a civil war, but, on the con.
trary, for national peace.
Mr. CUFFAY wished to know the name of the writer
to the letter which had been read.
The CHAIRMAN said, it was an anonymous communi-
cation.

Mr. CuFFAY—Then it cannot be received. We receive
no anonymous letters here.—(A laugh.)
A number of letters were read, expressing confidence
in the Convention, and one signed a " Tradesman's
Daughter," which recommends that the delegates should
turn their attention to the important question relating to
the currency.—(A laugh.) The writer advised the
members of the Convention to change all their 51. notes
into gold, and thus create a run on the Bank of England.
—(Laughter.)
The minutes of the last meeting were read and
confirmed.

BRUSSELS, APRIL 16.—M. NORTHOMB has tendered
his resignation as Member of the Chamber, on the
ground, that under prevailing circumstances his
presence is indispensable at Berlin, and that, conse-
quently, he will be unable to fulfil his duties as
representative. He also declines to be candidate for
the new elections.

The Antwerp Chamber of Commerce has pro-
nounced unanimously for the warranty system. A
petition is to he addressed to the Government for the
project of a new law on the subject.

The report spread at Paris, that an offensive and
defensive alliance has been concluded between Eng-
land, Holland, and Belgium, is formally denied by the
Afoniteur Bilge.

BAVARIA.

Letters from Munich, of the 12th April, state that
the Diet is actively engaged in the question of the
elections for the German Parliament. In the sitting
of the 11th it was decided that every person of full age
belonging to the State of Bavaria, and paying a direct
tax, should have the privilege of voting; and that
every German, of full age, and belonging to the
State, shall be eligible. This decision was referred to
the Upper Chamber, and will be brought under dis-
cussion to. morrow.

The ex-King LUDWIG was to leave Munich on the
13th for Switzerland, where he will remain for some
time• It is supposed that his EX•MAJESTY is about
to join LOLA. MONTEZ at Vevey.

OPENING or THE AMIENS RAILWAY.—The Amiens
Railway was opened yesterday. There is now therefore

AUTOGRAPH LETTER FROM THE EM-
PEROR TO COUNT RADETZKY.

Our intelligence from Vienna is to the night of the
2th instant.

" The Wiener Gazette of the 12th contains the
following autograph letter from the EMPEROR to
Count RADETZKY

" Dear Count Iladetzky,—The reports which have
been submitted to me by my ➢Minister of War, and
is filch have been rendered by you, respecting the trans-
actions in the kingdom of Lombardy from the 18th of
March to the 2d of April, contain so many proofs of the
circumspection, martial experience, intrepidity, and
heroism exercised by you in your official capacity at
the head of my valiant troops, that they will be re-
membered both by your contemporaries and by posterity.
In them especially I take comfort when I contemplate the
disasters which have befallen my dominions. I indulge
in the assurance that your energies will never tire in
defending the cause of justice, and the free institutions
guaranteed by me.
" Be pleased to make known my acknowledgments in
a suitable manner to the army under your command,
and accept for yourself my heartfelt thanks for the dis-
tinguished personal honour due to you for the charge
and conduct of the splendid achievement of ancient
Austrian martial discipline.

"FERDINAND.

Their Majesties the EMPEROR and EMPRESS, and
their Imperial Highnesses the Archdukes, returned
from Presburg yesterday, the 11th.
A. Vienna correspondent of the Frankfort :Journal
states that it has been clearly proved that Count
FIQUELMONT is a creature of Russia, and that he
must be compelled to retire. The Minister of Justice
was saved from formidable charinari by the National
Guard. He is said to be highly unpopular, and must
give way to Baron SOMANEGA. Ramours of the
approach of Russian troops were very general on
the 9th.

PRUSSIA.

On the night of the 14th a courier was dispatched
from Berlin to Hanover, remonstrating with the
KING for holding back the Hanoverian troops from
Schleswig until the decision of England in the matter
had been ascertained. The honour of Hanover as
well as the other German States was pledged, and in
a purely German question it was not dignified to
consult the opinion of England, which desired peace
at any price. The Prussian cavalry, it was stated,
could not reach Schleswig before the 20th. The
funds at Berlin have suddenly fallen from 83f to 70.
The officers in garrison at Aix-la Chapelle have
drawn up a statement of the reforms they deem ne-
cessary in the Prussian army, and have forwarded it
to M. CASIrIIAUSEN. The new Ministers are said to
he very much impeded in the amendments and altera-
tions they are endeavouring to introduce by the
crap/oyes, who are the creatures of the old system,
and " a clean sweep" is proposed. There is much
difficulty in selecting the Ministers of Commerce and
Works, who are yet required to complete the Govern-
ment; and although several persons have been named,
no official announcement has yet taken place. Gene-
ral 13.01111 ER, it is said, is about to retire from the War
Department, and public rumour confers the portfolio
upon General WILLESDEN.

on which to exercise them.—(Hear, and a laugh.) The
Honourable Member was now really in his political
youth, and lull of the vigour of his new birth. He was
about to enter into a more active career, and with a con-
siderable interval of practice with his new forces, he
might meet with success.—(Hear and laughter.)

" The gross reveane of the year ending 30th June,
1848, was 2,194,0931., or an average of 42,1941. per
week.

"It therefore remains for the shareholders to decide
whether the preceding calculations are sound and mode,
rate, and if so, whether there is a reasonable probability
of the gross revenue of the company from the main line
and branches to be opened increasing to an extent of
6,424/. per week by the year 1852, when all the capital
will be called up, and the subsidiary lines be in operation.
" To produce such an increase, there is the addi-
tional revenue to be derived from all the lines enume-
rated in Schedules 2 and 3; and that steady annual in-
crease, which, with the exception of periods of severe
depression, has taken place since the lines were opened
—to which should be added, that economy of menage.
ment which increased experience will enable the direc-
tors to introduce.

" On the other hand, the directors do not overlook
the fact, that a certain amount of traffic will be abstracted
by competing lines. It will be much less than is usually
supposed, and the general traffic is secure to thecuncern.
" In conclusion, the directors beg to remark that they
have endeavoured to avoid giving an undue colouring to
the prospects of the company. At the same time they
have deemed it their duty to arm the shareholders with
an answer to the mis-statements that have pins forth;
and it will be satisfactory to them to have imparted to
the proprietors that confidence which they themselves
continue to feel in the undertaking.

the reasoning of the Danish papers themselves, will
be the overthrow of the Ministry as soon as the

greatly weakened by the cessation of the war.

AUSTRIA.

Our accounts from Vienna are to the evening of
the 21st.

In the early sitting of the Diet this morning, a
manifesto of his MAJESTY was read, in which he pro-
mises in nowise to diminish autzlit from the conces-
sions promised in March and May, but at the same
time states his intention of employing every means
for the restoration of peace and order.
The Diet has also published a proclamation to the
people of Vienna, which reprobates the assembling of
Hungarian and other troops, the disarming of the
National Guard, which was legally organized by his
MAJESTY, in the vicinity of the capital. The Diet
also asserts that Vienna, as alone the capital of the
empire, can be the seat of the National Diet, and in-
sists that all who are for popular liberty must be for
Vienna, and therefore must acknowledge that it is
the duty of the Diet to oppose with equal force
anarchy and reaction.
In conclusion the Diet calls upon the inhabitants
to unite the whole force of their moral power with the
Diet, in order that the Emranoit may nominate a
popular Ministry, withdraw the troops, and restore
peace to the city of Vienna and to the empire.
The Communal Council has also made a long
address to the EalePaon, expressive of the same
wishes. They have also sent an address to the Arch-
duke FRANCIS CHARLES, entreating him to mediate
with the Ememaox.
The Vienna „National Guard has also sent an ad-
dress to the Eatemion, in which proposals are made
for the restoration of peace. These proposals are in
chief as follows :
" That Auersperg shall enter Vienna with not more
than 11,000 men • that the military shall take the oath
to the Imperial patent of the 15th of March and 15th of
May ; that Jellachich and Windischgratz, as well as
three regiments which are obnoxious to the people,
shall be removed from Vienna ; that the Landwahr shall
be organized ; that a liberal popular Ministry shall be
appointed ; and that the Emperor shall return to
Vienna."

The Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard
has addressed a writing, dated the 20th, to Prince
WINDISCHGRATZ, in which he conjures him not to
render the work of conciliation totally abortive by the
commencement of hostilities.
Prince WINDISCHGRATZ has given orders for the
immediate repair of the railway from Vienna to Gen-
sendarf, which had been destroyed by the military,
and which cut off Vienna from all railway communi-
cation with Berlin or the north of Germany.

[The following appeared in our Fourth Edition of
last night]:—

In the course of the discussion on the decree
appointing the 10th December as the day tOr the
Presidential election, Count Mole said that he had
been told that if the decree should not pass the
Ministry would retire ; he added, that for his part he
thought that the Cabinet would not refuse to add s
service more to the important services it had already
rendered. It was bound to assist the Assembly, and
should have the courage to continue in office until it
had completed the Constitution.
General Cavaignac, President of the Council, who
followed, began by protesting against an expression
of M. Mole, who had said that the Cabinet
threatened to retire. It had, he said, held out no
such menace, and the Assembly and country would
render him the justice to say that he had not imposed
any conditions tor his services. lie was neither an
ambitious man nor a traitor. Whatever might be the
thcision of the Assembly, he and his colleagues would
not make it a Cabinet question. If they considered
their continuance in office useful to the interests
of the Republic, they would retain their fume_
tions ; if not, they would not hesitate to re-
sign them without exposing themselves to the charge
of desertion. 'They were influenced by no sordid
attachment for power, they were animated by a
sincere love of their country and a sincere devotedness
to the Republic. It was they who had recommended
a prompt appeal to the country, because they con-
sidered the adjournment of the question of the Pre-
sidency an immense danger for the Republic.
London, England, 1848-10-28

L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very- altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
It is theeffect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

This morning between one and two o'clock, a most
lamentable destruction of property by fire took place at
Camberwell-green. The disaster originated at an empty
house next; to Fleming's Ale Brewery, the flames from
which, from the short supply of water, spread with such
rapidity that in less than half-an-hour the brewery and
other buildings had ignited. Not a moment iwas lost in
dispatching messengers to town for the assistance of fire-
-1.21E11 and engines, and by two o'clock several of the bri-
gade, the West of England, and County-Offices had ar-
rived, but, unfortunately, only four engines could be sup-
red with water, and the consequence was that Mr.
loosing's brewery was also entirely consumed, the house
Branch,
in which the fire originated, the stables of Mr.
zeitneh, a corn-chandler, and two valuable horses, were
lost, and serious damage to several other dwellings ad-
bluing. By six o'cloc the fire had subsided, and the
folloWing particulars of loss and damage was obtained
from Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the South Brigade
Establishment.
I-088E8 ON CAMBERWELL-GREEN.—The house of Mr.
Green _lower part occupied as offices, next to Fleming's
brewery, totally destroyed. The house of Mr. Donnett,
like damage. Tho brewery and cuunting-house of Mr.
Fleming destroyed, the latter insured in the Kent Fire
°ffioe, as also two previously-named houses.
STREET, CAMBERWELL.—No. 21, Mr. Fosset,
fishmonger, damaged furniture, &c., by removal. No.
22, Mr. Branch, cornchandler, granary, two stables, and
two horses of 70 guineas each value, lost, as also furniture
damaged by removal, &c. No. 221, Mr. Leff, eating-
house keeper, back windows burnt, and contents da-
Nged by removal; insured in the Phceaix Company.

destroyed; insured in Licensed Victuallers' Office.

TUB COLLIERS.—We understand that several of
the master colliers in the neighbourhood have intimated
their intention of reducing the wages of those in their
rtnPhyment. in consequence of this resolution, meet..
lugs of the colliers have been hell during the week, but

ITALY.

The affairs of Italy bear a much more satisfactory
aspect than they hare borne since the commencement
of March. RADETSKY, it is said, has, through the
mediation of England and France, concluded a treaty
of peace with CHARLES ALBERT, Which only awaits
the ratification of the Emperor of AU2TRIA to be imme-
diately carried into effect; and that this ratification will
be at once given there can be little doubt, inasmuch
as (according to the Concordia) the Austrian Am-
bassador in Paris is authorised to ratify all that the
mediating Powers shall decide on the subject of
Italy. In Tuscany the Ministerial crisis still con-
tinues. The GRAND DUKE continues firmly opposed
to the appointment of GUERAZEI as Minister, and
should the appointment be forced upon him, he will,
it is said, retire to Elba.

There is also every reason to hope that the media-
tion of England and France will effect a satisfactory
settlement of the differences between Naples
and Sicily. The terms proposed are the re•esta-
tablishment of the Sicilian Constitution of 1812,
under the guarantee of England and France, and an
independent Sicilian Legislature, with either the
King of Nal.Las or his son as Sovereign. The Go•
vernment of Palermo and that of Naples seemed both
inclined to accede to the terms.

The discussion in the Chamber of Deputies of Sar-
dinia on the mediation offered by Great Britain and
France terminated at two o'clock on the 294. An
amendment of M. 13aorrEato, who had opposed the
mediation, and maintained that Italy should in pre-
ference look up to the triumph of German democracy
for her emancipation, was rejected by 122 to 13, and
the Assembly afterwards granted the Cabinet a vote
of confidence by 77 to 58.
