his very power only the more attaches them to a
system which gives even the weaker party a large share
of influence and authority. Despotism is not acknow-
ledged, not even known in the British Consti-
tution. All have a share in its advantages,
more or less: the voice of the unrepresented must be
listened to like that of the represented; they have a
stake in the property as well as the rest, because they
know that only a little more industry, in many instances,
will place them on a footing of equality, in regard to
political privileges, with the more wealthy. For these
reasons the prosperity of England increases every day,
and tnrows even the most thriving (and that is
not saying much) absolute states entirely into the
shade. The power of those states is all external, all
on the surface. They have vast armies, guns, and
bayonets, and fortresses, and every instrument of what
is considered essential to strergh, in countless
numbers, but when they are put to the test of experi-
ence, they crumble to pieces, without the aid of the
people, like a baseless fabric. Witness the successive
downfal of Austria, and Prussia, and Russia, before the
armies of France. The last was only saved from utter
destruction by the hatred excited among a superstitious
people by the excesses of the invaders. And what was
the attitude of England during this awful destruction of
armies, thrones, and dynasties ? She remained amidst
the general havoc conscious of her strength, would
yield nothing to . the conqueror, and finally
prevailed. Her free Constitution saved her from
destruction, because that encouraged commerce
and trade, which furnished the sinews of war,
and gave every man an interest in preserving the in-
tegrity of the empire. If there can be any doubt of the
fact, it is only necessary to refer for a moment to the
history, and mare especially the commercial history, of
representative countries. The free spirit which animated
the Dutch in their immortal wars against the Spaniards
afterwards made Holland one of the first commercial and
naval powers in the world. What else raised Venice
and Genoa and other Italian free states to their high
pre-eminence ? Even Switzerland, shut out from the
ocean, and surrounded by jealous and unaccomodating
neighbours, surpasses the nations around her in the activity
and industry of her inhabitants, and can undersell most
of them in foreign markets. It is needless to refer more
particularly to England and the United States, except
simply to ask what absolute Government at all ap-
proaches them in the vast extent of their commercial
transactions, the means of acquiring wealth, and all
the great elements of power. These are sufficient rea-
sons to make us bear patiently with the occasional ob-
stacles thrown in the way of necessary legislation, and
to view with unabated veneration a constitution which
has worked for two hundred years so well, and only
acquires additional strength in its progress.

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. With
the exception of two articles on Spain--the one in the
Vational, Willa we have given entire, and the other in the
Constitutionnel, of which we have given the substance in
another part of the paper —these papers contain scarcely
anything of interest. On Wednesday the Chamber of Depu-
ties fixed the business for the remainder of the session,
Among the dropped measures are the Trans-Atlantic Packet
Bill, and the Postage Reform Bill. Several of the clauses of
the 'Western Railway Bill were adopted on Wednesday. No
division, however, on the -vrhole Bill had taken place when
the post left. The principle of the law, however, as far as
the line to Caen was concerned, had been adopted, and its
,oncession to the Company of MM. BRETEUIL and E. BLOUNT
authorised.

The reception at the Tuileries, in observance of the KING'S
fete, commenced on Thursfiaj: Duke AUGUSTUS of Saxe
Coburg arrived in Paris on Wednesday. Innmum PACHA
was visiting all the public institution. At twelve o'clock on
Wednesday he received, at the Palace of the Elysee-Bourbon,
the officers of the garrison of Paris,w b o were presented to him by
the Minister-of-War, by General SEBASTIANA, commaaing
the first military division, and by General AtancK, com-
mander of the garrison. His Highness subsequently visited
the column in the Place Vendome, the triumphal arch of the
Etoile, and the Pantheon.

The Semaphore de Marseilles publishes intelligence from
Algeria of the 27th ult. The Moorish population along the
frontier was in a state of permanent revolt, and the environs
of Tlemcen were infested by bands of marauders, who often
exchanged shots with the French patrols. The intrenched
camp at Lelia ➢laghrina was almost uninterruptedly block-
aded, and the garrison had lately been obliged to effect a
sortie to repel a large body of Moors who had arrived there
from the neighbourhood of Ouchda.
The intelligence from Portugal, received rid England, and
a report that Madrid had been declared in a state of siege,
depressed the Paris market on Thursday.

We find the following under the date Breslau, 21st April
in the German Universal Gazette :—" The nobles who had
taken refuge in the Carpathian Mountains are again show-
ing themselves, since they have found that the peasantry are
turning their arms against the Government. DEMBROWSKI
ex-secretary of the revolutionary Government of Cracow, is'
the chief of the movement. He was at Cracow on Good Friday.
His party is re-assembling. SZELA offered him the post of
Commander-in-Chief, but he refused it, because SZELA pos-
sesses entirely the confidence of the peasants. Many of the
nobles have been appointed officers. Many a Polish refugee
in Germany is no doubt anxious to return to his country.
Several of the merchants of Limberg have become bar.krupt.
The Russians are establishing magazines on the frontier, and
seem watching the course of events.

By our advertising columns it will be seen that the
Provident Clerks dinner takes pl ice on arvreelnesday
next. Useful, without being ostentatious, based On sure
principles, and supported by all the mercantile and
banking interests of the kingdom, this Association ranks
among the highest, and when we see the President of
the Board of Trade taking the chair, and such a list of

eulogium on our part would be unnecessary. Our co-
lumns have often reported the growing prosperity of
this Association, and we shall be much disappointed if
the results of Wednesday do not far exceed those of last
year. The Association has our best wishes.

Accounts from Madrid to the 24th ult. have been re-
ceived. With regard to the movement in Galicia the Ga-
zette publishes the following official bulletin :
" Home Department of the Peninsula.
" The news received to-day from Galicia supplies no in-
formation beyond that we gave yesterday. In the other
provinces there is perfect tranquillity."
It is evident from this bulletin that the QUEEN'S troops
have not gained the slightest advantage, for, had such been
the case, the authorities would have been but too glad to pro-
claim it. Information from Galicia to the 18th represents
the insurgents as in possession of the whole line of coast
from Cape Finisterre to the frontier of Portugal, and as oc-
cupying Vigo, Pontevedra, and Tuy. Tuy, which is situ-
ated in the Minho, is a regularly fortified place, with a
strong citadel.
General BALnoA has been dismissed from the Captain-
Generalship of Burgos, for having issued the ferocious procla-
mation which we gave yesterday. General Don JOACIUDi
BAYONA has been appointed in his place.
General BRETON has been reprimanded for the severe
bando he issued at Barcelona, and has been admonished to
confine himself henceforth Strictly to the execution of his
duty.

CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL.
LEGALIZATION OF THE JESUITS.
A meeting of the members and friends of the National
Club was on Saturday held at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St.
James's, for the purpose of considering the Charitable Trusts
Bill, and other measures now before Parliament, tending to
the advancement of Popery, and the public recognition of the
Papal power and superstitions.
The meeting was numerously attended.
The chair was taken at 12 o'clock precisely by
Lord KENYON, who briefly stated the objects of the meet-
ing, and called attention to the importance of the subjects
they were met to discuss.
The meeting was addressed by Sir Brooke W. Brydges,
Bart., the Rev. Mortimer O'Sullivan, Rey. Robert M'Ghee,
Sir Digby Macintosh, Bart., R. Baxter, Esq., Rey. Dr.
Bibee, and Mr. Spooner, M.P.
Resolutions were proposed, and carried unanimously, con-
demnatory of the recent endowment to Maynooth, the Chari-
table Trusts and other Bills now before Parliament, for re-
laxing the Act of Supremacy and permitting the publication
of Popish bulls, the exhibition of Romish ceremonies, en•
couraging the order of the Jesuits, and other things tending,
as was stated, to the subversion of the Protestant constitution.
Another resolution, inviting zealous co-operation in the
great object of maintaining the Protestant Church and con-
stitution and raising the social and religious condition of
the people, was passed
The thanks of the meeting were then given to the Noble
Chairman, and the meeting broke up.

Murcia; several arrests had taken place, and some officers
and subalterns, military and naval, had been arrested, and
sent to Cadiz.

PxNzoii has been appointed to the-command of the naval
force appointed to operate on the coast of Galicia.
The French Government, too, has ordered a ship of war to
proceed from Brest to the Galician coast to protect, and, if
necessary, receive on board the French residents at Vigo,
and other places in possession of the insurgents. This cer-
tainly looks as if matters were assuming a serious appers-
ance, and we are inclined to believe that the following ac-
count of the state of affairs in Galicia, which appears in the
Paris National, approaches much nearer the truth than those
we receive from Madrid :

"Accounts which have just reached us represent the insur-
rection to be triumphant throughout the whole of Galicia.
We will first give a summary of what we find in the El
Tiempo, correcting, as we proceed, the errors of that journal,
and afterwards add the facts which have reached us from
our private correspondence. El Tiempo announces that
Vigo made its prnnunciamiento on the 9th, Tuy on the 10th,
and that the movement rapidly spread to the towns and
villages of Callas, Padron, Corril, Estrada, Redondela,
Guardia, Bayona, and Cambedos. In the juntas which have
been established are to be found the most influential men of
the country—ex-Deputies, officers of the army, merchants,
and chiefs of the militia. Don Ramon Ruch, ex-Member of
the Cortes, is President of the Junta of Vigo, and Esteban
Urreal, another ex-Deputy, of that of Tuy. The Tiempo
adds, that the insurgents attacked General Puig Samper
at Signeiro, and were repulsed. It was precisely the con-
trary. In marching on Orense, the chief of the in-
surgent division, under Solis, met General Puig Samper
marching out of Signeiro with two battalions of
infantry and a detachment of cavalry. Puig Samper
was attacked and completely beaten, and several of
his officers and men joined the insurgent flag. The
insurrectionary force now amounts to 8,000 men, exclu-
sive of the militia, which have been organised. Orense must
at this moment be in their hands, for we know that on the
17th Solis was marching on Corunna. The last English
packet, which carries the Spanish and Portuguese mail, did
not touch at Vigo, but it was known that the entire country
was in the hands of the insurgents. We think we may an-
nounce that General Leymerich and Colonel Gurrea have
arrived in Galicia with sufficient means to promote the ex-
tension of the movement. Leymerich was Governor of
Madrid in 1843, and the resistance he made at that time
bears sufficient testimony to his devotedness, his resolution,
and his intelligence. colonel Gurrea is one of the aides-
de-camp of Espartero and his private secretary. It is pro-
bable, that at the moment we are writing this account they
have given their powerful succour to the citizens and troops

people to hoist the standard of liberty. On other points of
avaricious, hypocritical, and intriguing Neapolitan, who
takes advantage of her position to deceive and enslave the
Queen. Aided by a handful of traitors she exhausts all her
schemes to seat on the throne of Spain a Neapolitan Prince,
full of superstitious and servile ideas, to drag us at the tail
of Rome, beneath the feet of the French Government. True
Spaniards, indignant at seeing so near the throne that woman
whose hand is stained with blood, and who is as wicked as
she is audacious—that woman, who has sworn to accomplish
the ruin of a noble and generous nation—have taken up arms
in defence of their honour, their independence,. and their
liberty. Why then, soldiers, do you hesitate to join them 1
Are' you not the children of Spain ? Has your valour for-
saken you? Why do you hesitate? Do you not see that a
vile traffic is made of your noble blood ? Sons of the people,
will you separate yourselves from your fathers, from your
mothers, and from your brothers? Whom do you serve?
What do you fear? Lay down your arms ! The people wish It !
Lay them down that you may not stain them with the blood of
your kindred ! Lay them down, for it is by them alone
traitors are supported. What would they be without you ?
Where is their support in the nation in public opinion ?
Would you wish to see them isolated, lost, flying like
wretches covered with shame to a foreign land, raise the
cry of ' Long live the people!' Shake off, then, this fatal
lethargy, and if you are sought to be retained by appeals to
your obedience and discipline, reply that discipline and obe-
dience are not intended to enslave the country, and to serve
that unbridled treason which makes use of the throne to ac-
complish its most odious designs. Soldiers, we are returned
to the times of Godoy and of Marie Louise. We are sold to
the foreigner, and it is on you that reliance is placed to con
summate the infamous work concocted by Christina and her
band. Save the country and yourselves ! Unite yourselves
to the people, and if you are ordered to direct your bayonets
against them, plunge them into the breasts of the wretches
who give you such an impious command. The brave soldiers
Solis and Rubin de Celis, the intrepid Generals Leymerich
Iriarte, Prim, Ametler, the hero of Pinacerrada, tuchana,,
and Morella, the terrible Espartero calls on you. Come and
range yourselves under their banners, it is that of the
country. The Supreme Junta recommends you to do
this ; it henceforth will watch the conduct of each, resolved,
when the day comes, to punish or to reward. Woe' to 'him, who shall resist this appeal—woe to him who shall shed a
drop of the. people's blood. Lay down your arms, theutsol-
diera, and join with us in the cry of Down with the Nea-
politans,'" gown with the traitors,' Long live liberty and the
country.

DRITRY-LANE THEATRE.—The utmost excitement
prevails respecting the appearances of Les Danseuses Vien-
noises on this stage to-morrow. There is no truth whatever in
the statement that several of the principals amongst them had
gone back to Vienna. Two were sent home by Madame Weiss,
as having grown too large, and ten new ones have come from
her establishment in Germany. The greatest number that
ever danced at the opera last season was twenty-seven—to-
morrow one of the Pus will be executed by forty-eight
children.

MILITIA.—The Militia officers of the United King-
dom will dine together at the Freemason's Tavern on
Wednesday next, and it is expected that an unusually large
number will muster on that occasion, in consequence of
the recent attention that has been publicly called to this
branch of our military service, by the critical position of our
relations with America.

MAnsTort.--The author of " Salathiel" (the Rev. Dr.
Croly) has just produced a new work, bearing the title of
"Marston ; or, The Soldier and Statesman., " The object

present at the insurrection, and becomes acquainted with
Grattan and Lord Clare. His talents are then transferred to
a wider stage, he being sent Ambassador to Russia at the
close of the reign of the Czar Paul. From St. Petersburgh
he goes to Paris, during the supremacy of Napoleon, and
then returns to England, to distinguish himself in the
highest offices of the Government at home. To the vast
scope Dr. Croly has here secured for the display of his great
knowledge of human life and character, he has wiselyadded
a sufficient infusion of the romantic, by pourtraying the at-
tachment of his hero for a beautiful and noble enzigree. The
result is a work of the moat varied interest and entertainment
Daniel O'Connell has during his short stay in Londt n
given Mr. Jones, the sculptor, several sittings, whereby this eminent
artist ha. been enabled to add another bust to those of the illustrious
and distinguished personages that have within a brief periodhonoured
his studio. The likeness of the Liberator is so perfect, that Mr. O'Con
nell has acknovl hedged it with his autograph. This bust has been
executed for a number of subscribers, whose determination is to have
the marble placed in a public institution, and to multiply copies of
different sizes in biscuit china, terracotta, &c., to meet the wishes
of his admirers of all classes.

Loss OF LIFE AT MILBANK. —Mr. Bedford, Coroner
for Westminster, resumed at the Green Man, Little George-street,
Story's Gate, on Thursday last, the adjourned Inquiry touching the
respective deaths of George Richards, aged 57, and Martin Murray,
aged 28, the two unfortunate individuals who lost their lives by the
breaking down of a travelling crane at Milbank, on Friday week.
After a long investigation, in which the insecurity and the insuf-
ficiency of the crane were demonstrated, the Jury, after a long con-
sultation, returned the following verdict:—" That the two deceased
died from the effects of injuries received from the breaking down of a
travelling' crane at the Sheldon stone wharf, owing to its insecure
state, and they (the trry) levy a deodand of W. upon the same. And
the said jury are of opinion that no blame is attributable to Messrs.
Sartois, the proprietors of the wharf." . .

whole of Friday considerable excitement was manifested in the
I,e!ghbourhood of Kilburn, in consequence of a report that a young
lady connected with a family well known and highly respected in
that locality had left her house under circumstances which had given
rise to suspicion that unfair means had been resorted to. Upon In-
quiry it appeared that the name of the young lady was Garwood,
that she was in her eighteenth year, and the only surviving child of
Sir Felix Garwood, who died at Demerara about eighteen months
since, leaving to her the whole of his property, amounting to up-
wards of 30,000/. Prior to, and since the death of her parent, the
young lady has resided with her father's sister, a widow lady of tlie
name of Lehan, at Maida-cottage, Kilburn. Miss Garwood, from
childhood, has exhibited an eccentricity of manner that has ex-
cited a fear in the minds of her friends that her Intellect was
affected, and she has sever al times been professionally attended.
During the autumn of last year she became acquainted
with a young
mall, through accidentally meeting with him
at the Pantheon, Oxford•street. It was subsequently discovered
that the person's name was C—w, that he was the son of an up-
bolsterer residing near Goodge-street, Tottenham-court-road, and
G od's maid
with a view of breaking up the intimacy, Miss Garwood was re-
moved to a friend's house near Bath, where she had remained for
some months up to Wednesday last, when she returned to town in
consequence, it was stated, of being seriously affected In her health.
From something, however, in the young lady's manlier, the suspi-
cions of her friends were excited, and further, from Mr. C. having
been seen in the neighbourhood, she was closely watched, prior to
her being again removed. Yesterday morning, between seven and
