ruins by one of those appalling explosions of demo-
cracy
which have latterly shaken Christendom to its
foundations. Statesmen must meditate on these
things, they must acknowledge these things,
they must act in accordance with these things—
or perish. They must recognize a truth which
is now happily beyond contradiction, namely
that the vast and comprehensive will of a great
people can no longer be compressed within the narrow
compass of an iron and unelastic Constitution, as the
colossal Geni in.lthe Arabian tale was confined in the
interior of a brass pot. The sign-manual of a monarch
has no longer a power like that possessed by the seal
of the great SoLomoN. The attempt to exercise any
such restrictive authority were as mad and destruc-
tive as the stopping up of the safety-valve of some
enormous steam-engine. In speaking thus, we are
uttering no sophisms or platitudes ; Europe is our wit-
ness—that Europe upon which the doom of king-craft
is being written in awful characters, at this very
hour, by the finger of the hand of GOD.
It is at such a period as this that the English
Government is required by the English people to do
four great exigent deeds of justice. The Honourable
Gentleman the Member for Montrose is the mouth-
piece of the English people in these their memorable
and most momentous demands for political ameliora-
tion. That he is not the organ of an inconsiderable
faction, but that he is, on the contrary, the voice of
that vast bulk of the community, is proved by a variety
of indisputable evidences—by the petitions which
have poured into Parliament—by the spontaneous
meetings which have taken place throughout the
kingdom, already numbering one hundred and thirty.
And not only this, but reason and common sense tells
one that the ballot, the extension of the suffrage to
householders, the diminution of septennial to triennial
Parliaments, and the distribution of
.the country
into electoral districts are boons for which
the whole heart of England has been yearning. Be-
yond all this, it is impossible to deny that the most
intelligent politicians of the day are heart and soul in
their coincidence with Mr. HUMS. Sergeant TAI•
FOURD, it is true, may turn tail like a legislative pol-
troon, and suddenly, at the very moment when his

quence, transform himself into an upholder of a
system of Finality. But, thank GOD, the happiness
and the liberty of England are not dependent upon
the whims of a dramatist, or upon the voluble inconsis-
tency of a poetic barrister. The people have still left to
them min such as RICHARD COBDEN, men who in
defiance of the prejudices of oligarchism have the
courage to eulogize the aspirations of the democracy,
men who oppose to the platitudes of the Ministerial
partisan the solid and incontrovertible logic of the
citizen and the patriot. Willingly would we enter
upon a copious examination of the luminous speech
delivered last evening by the honourable and illus-
trious orator the representative of the West Riding of
Yorkslairp.,We regard his oration upon Parliamentary
RefortaVasi-of such remarkable importance, however,

tion, that we postpone all commentary upon his ar-
guments until to-morrow. We shall then demon-
strate that such innovations as those which are em••
bodied in the motion of JOSEPH Hump, so far from
being of a factious or frivolous character, are, lite-
rally speaking, of the very safest tendency—that ten-
dency being to enlarge the foundations of our great
and glorious Constitution.

Madrid papers of the Ist July have arrived.
Considerable alarm was created on the 130th by
reports that FAGOAGA, director of the bank of San
Fernando, had fled, or concealed himself. He had
resigned his post of director, and CARRA6ERIA was
appointed pro tem. in his place. The acting func-
tionary declared that the bank is fully able to meet
it engagements with the Government, and that the
usual payments to the various Ministers, the dividends
of the debt, &c., will be furnished punctually as
heretofore, while no fresh impediments will be placed
in the way of chaeging notes. CARRAIERIA bears a
high character.
The Foral deputations of the three Basque pro-
vinces, Alava, Guipuscoa, and Biscay, have made a
voluntary offering of a million of reals for her MA-

MADRID BALSA, JUNE 30.—Three per Cents, 22j;

On Wednesday we directed the public attention to
the vast importance of the inland fisheries of Ireland,
and the necessity for an immediate amendment of the

5 and 6 Victoria, c. 106, so as to render it a really
efficient measure, calculated to restore the salmon
fisheries in the various rivers to their former pro-
ductive condition. Half a century ago, these rivers
were abundantly stocked with large quantities of that
valuable fish, affording both pleasure and profit in the
capture to the inhabitants of the several districts, and
yielding a large addition to the resources of the
country, supplying the population with a
cheap, wholesome, and palatable description
of food. Since that period, however, a se-
rious diminution has taken place in the numbers
entering the fresh waters from the sea. In place of
being within theireach of the humblest, from their
extraordinary abundance and cheapness, they can
now only be procured in small quantities and at an
enormous increase of price. Every class was injured;
but for a considerable period, no active measures
were taken to provide a remedy fur the acknow-
ledged evil. The inland proprietors looked on with
apathy while bodies ;of poachers destroyed the fish
upon the spawning beds at unseasonable times, with
nets, lights, spears, gaffs, &c., &c., although every
fish thus destroyed, would have yielded an increase
of several hundredfold. It is true that some sealous
and energetic men endeavoured to arrest the work of
destruction, and to show the parties engaged therein
the gross folly of their conduct, but their exertions
being isolated, and not receiving the general support
they merited, were productive of little benefit.
Many causes contributed to produce this negli-
gence, but chiefly the practical monopoly exercised
by a few weir-owners at the mouths of the several
rivers, who not content with obtaining a fair share of
the sport, carried their works to such an extent, that
few fish could escape the wholesale slaughter. Under
such circumstances it could hardly be expected that
the inland proprietors would incur a direct expense
and trouble in putting down the poaching, when they
would subsequently be deprived of the fruits of
their .wrtions in a manner which they believed,
and which the law has since declared to be,
equally illegal. At length, however, a greater de-
gree of activity has become manifested. Recent de-
cisions in the law courts have shown that there is a
remedy for the grievance ; that the salmon fishery
of Ireland may again be rendered a source of national
wealth, by a firm and efficient enforcement of the ex-
isting law, and by the legislative sanction being ob-
tained to such alterations therein as may be deemed
essential to the attainment of that object. Many in-
fluential noblemen and gentlemen have determined to
co-operate together for the purpose, and as a first
step, by the assistance of intelligent and experienced
men, they traced out the causes of the continued de-
crease, and suggested certain improvements by which
those causes should be removed. These were brought
under the notice af the Irish Executive, and a pledge
was obtained from the Earl of CLAEENDON that a
Bill should be introduced into Parliament containing
the necessary enactments. But, as usual, delays
have been interposed. The session is drawing to a
close, and nothing has as yet been done towards the
accomplishment of their reasonable wishes.
Under these circumstances a memorial was yes-
terday presented to the First Lord of the Treasury,
by a deputation, consisting of many of the most in-
fluential Noblemen and gentlemen connected with
Ireland, which so fully points out the great impor
tance of the subject, that we publish it in extols° :
" We the undersigned, firmly convinced that an ac-
knowledged great, though undeveloped source of national
wealth lies dormant in our country, request the imme-
diate. attention of your Lordship to this important sub-
ject—the th e improvement of the salmon fisheries of Ireland.
The Irish. Executive, appearing justly impressed with
the magnitude of this question, have, after mature deli-
beration, we believe, strongly recommended the addition
of certain amendments to previous Acts, which, though
containing much intrinsic excellence, are powerless for
want of such amendments. After repeated conferences
with his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, the
Lord Clarendon, and under the supposition that a Bill
was forthwith to be brought before Parliament to re-
medy existing defects, and which • has ac-
tually been proposed, and, pursuant to com-
pact with Lord Clarendon, submitted to the
consideration of interested parties, many of whose re-
presentatives are at present in L. ondon,awaiting with
feelings of almost perfect unanimity, theintroduction of
this promised measure, and anxious to assist the Go.
vernment in doing so, by every means in their power.
In conclusion, we earnestly expect from your Lordship's
Ministry the fulfilment of justified expectations, by im-
mediately bringing the Bill before the Clouse, a mea-
sure whose results will be positively beneficial to com-
merce, will give extended employment to operatives, and
increased food to a nation."
This important document, accompanied as it was
by the energetic remonstrances of so many
influential Members of both branches of
the Legislature, must produce the most
satisfactory effect in stimulating the Government
into some degree of activity on this sullect. We
trust that its fruits will be manifested during the en-
suing week, by the introduction of the required Bill.
We shall from time to time point out the nature of
the proposed amendments, and the reasons which im-
peratively call for their adoption. in the meanwhile
we shall only urge the absolute necessity of perfect
unanimity amongst all classes of Irishmen, the
humblest as well as the most exalted, on this subject.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

THE FUNERAL OF THE VICTIMS.-RE-
SIGNATION OF M. CARNOT.

The funeral of the victims of the last outbreak
was fixed to take place yesterday. It had been
originally proposed that after the celebration of the
funeral service in the church of the Madeleine, the
funeral procession should have proceeded along the
Boulevards to the Place de la Bastille, where in the
vaults beneath the Column of July the bodies would
have been deposited. This plan, however, has been
altered. In the sitting of Wednesday the President
announced to the National Assembly that as the
vaults under the Column of July were net yet
prepared, the bodies would, for the present,
be deposited in the Madeleine. There will, there-
fore, be no procession to the Place de la Bastille.
The true reason of this postponement of the proces-
sion is said to be the discovery by the Police of a
plot to shoot General CAVAIGNAC and his officers as
they pass along the Boulevards, in the procession.
There is a grand altar erected in the Place de la
Concorde, close to the Madeleine, at which a funeral
service will be celebrated by the Bishop of Oa-

LEANS.
The funeral of the Archbishop of PARIS takes place
to-day.
The following Deputies have ► een elected Vice-
Presidents of the Assembly for the month of July
—Messrs. GEORGES LAFAYETTE, CORDON, LACROSSE,
MARRAST, CORMENIN, and PORTALIS, all moderate
Republicans. The two Secretaries, Oscert LAFA
TETTE and PEAN were re-elected.
At the close of the sitting of Wednesday the As •
sembly had an opportunity of passing a vote of want
of confidence in M. CARNOT, the Minister of Public
Instruction, and the only remaining member of the
Ledru Rollin faction at present holding office. Of
this opportunity the Assembly at once availed itself.
Towards the close of the sitting, M. CARNOT, as Mi-
nister of Public Instruction, brought forward a pro-
ect relative to primary teachers, which would require
the allocation of a rnillicai of francs. M. BOMIEAN as-
cended the tribune, and produced a book, which had
been published with the authorization of the Minister,
under the title of " Manuel Republicain." Under the
head of property there occurs this question and
answer—
" Pupil—Are there any means for preventing the
rich from being lazy, and the poor from being devoured
by the rich ?
" Schoolmaster—Yes, there are excellent means. The
directors of the Republic will find these means so soon
as they seriously desire to practise fraternity. It is
with capital and property as with all other liberties:
the law which recognises them may set bounds to their
action. .Without destroying the right of inheritance, it
may be liusited for the public interest; and without sup-
pressing the interest of capital, many measures may be
taken for rendering it as feeble as may be desired. Then
the rich can no longer be idle, and the poor will easily
find credit and become rich."

Again—
The law may impose all kinds of conditions on those
who hold land, and may even expropriate it by allowing
an indemnity, tif bad use be made of it. As for those
great proprietors whom you so much dread, know that
if they pay the Republic proper taxes, and give good
terms to their workmen, they would soon be obliged to
sell their lands to citizens who would make a better use
of them. Laws would be made for that when ne-
cessary."
With regard to the rights of industry and wages
there is the following:—
" Pupil—Has the Republic the right to interfere with
the condition of labour, and in regulating wages?
" Schoolmaster—Without doubt, and can exercise it
in the name of the people. The Republic in assuring
liberty to commerce and industry acquires in conse-
quence the right of submitting this liberty to all sorts of
conditions derived from the common interest. This is
what is called organisation du travail."
questions and answers throwing doubts also on the
rights of family appear in this strange book.
M. BOMEAN proposed by way of eensure upon the
Minister of Public Instruction a reduction of 6,000
francs on the credit, and alluded in terms of severity
to the notorious circulars which M. CARROT had issued
while he was a member of the Provisional Government.
The Minister of Public Instruction endeavoured
to justify his administration. He endeavoured to
justify the famous electoral circulars in favour of
ignorance, on the ground that he thought country
people the fittest to represent the interests of the
country ; and with respect to the Manual from
which the above extracts are taken, he said that they
were intended more for electors than pupils.
A scene of indescribable confusion ensued, in the
creation of which M. FLOCON was particularly active,
and at length the amendment was carried by 314 to
303, being a majority of 11 against the Ministry, or
rather against ,M. CARROT.

Vienna papers of the Ist announce the withdrawal
of the Italian fleet from the waters of Trieste, in con-
sequence of the representations of the Bavarian and
Prussian Ministers.

The Ministers have received very favourable in-
telligence from Inspruck. The deputation from
Servia and Croatia was not admitted as siech to the
audience of his MAJESTY. The individual members
were admitted to a private audience, and his MA-
JESTY declared to them that the resolution of the
Municipal Congregation of Agram, and of the Car-
lowitz Congress were drawn up illegally ; and that
they could only lay their wishes before him through
the medium of the General Hungarian Diet and the
Hungarian Ministry ; that he would, however, ever
uphold their rights inviolate.
, The Archduke JOHN has been appointed mediator
between the Hungarians and the Illyrians.
The Royal proclamation to the Servians has pro-
duced a . very favourable impression. The greater
number of them have laid down their weapons, with-
out, at the same time, laying claim to paternal inde-
pendence.— Wiener Zeitung, July 1.
VIENNA, JULY 2.—A courier who has just arrived
at the Ministry of War has brought the intelligence
that our troops have again taken the heights of Ri-
voli, and are bombarding the town from thence. The
capitulation of Venice is daily expected. The Mi-
nisterial Council is said to have declared its firm re-
solve to conclude a peace at Milan, and if needs be in
Turin also.

in consequence of the KING'S proclamation, broken
up the camp at Carlowitz and the so-called Roman
entrenchments, and have gone home. His MAJESTY'S
new proclamation positively enjoins that all the
cannons and weapons that have been taken shall be
returned. _ _

The Hungarian Ministry have issued a proclama-
tion to the States of Transylvania respecting the
junction of those states with Hungary. It is an
event, they say, which has filled every breast with
joy, and from which the happiest results are an-
ticipated.

The Austrian army in Italy will be immedi-
ately reinforced by at least 80,000 men. Fourteen
battalions are already marching thither. In Bohemia
and Moravia large levies of troops are being made.

ference necessary. He should address them again at five
o'clock, and give the Government a good horse-whipping.
Sunday after Sunday the meetings would increase. The
time had gone by when a policeman or a soldier could
frighten the people. Other speakers followed Sharpe, and
the whole of the proceedings continued until about five
o'clock. The number of people increased during the whole
of that time. The sentiments of Sharpe were received with
great applause. People of all classes were present. Many
were dressed apparently in their Sunday clothes, walking
about ; those about the speaker were ill dressed.
Many of them appeared to be Irishmen, by whom the senti-
ments were received with great applause. Ernest Jones
spoke at the meeting. The first meeting separated about
five, and those who had composed it moved about the com-
mon. The people were addressed from a mound. Sharpe
addressed the second meeting. Jones said the church near
at hand was desecrated by being filled by policemen.
Cross-examined—Went expressly to the meeting for the
purpose of taking notes for the Crown. He took the notes
on a policeman's back; his elbow was not jogged, as he was
protected by some policemen in private clothes. Sharpe was
an easy speaker; he took dawn all he said. It was possible
he might have mistaken the meaning of some sentences.
He did not recollect having said to any one near him " What
were the last words ?" or, " What was that ?" Sometimes,
owing to the applause, it was difficult for reporters to catch
the ends of sentences.
Mr. James White, short-hand writer, cross-examined by
Mr. BODKIN, said he attended the meeting, and took notes
of the speeches. Before he got a table, he was so jogged
and pushed that he did not believe he could read
with any degree of accuracy the notes which he took. The
witness then read the speech of the chairman of the meet-
ing. He said the Government had transported John Mit-
chel from the land of his forefathers, simply because he
loved his country; but they had done more; they had de-
secrated his name, for they sent a band of ruffians to his
house, whilst his wife was bereaving his loss, to rob her of
the little property that belonged to her. This was the con-
duct of the tyrannous, villanous, and despotic Government;
and would they, as Irishmen, allow it? Were they not
cowards to allow it?—(Cries of " Yes, yes.") " Vengeance
was theirs by the Lord." The witness said he wished his
Lordship to understand that he could not swear to the ac-
curacy of the notes he had read, as he took them sitting on
the damp ground, with the crowd about. A cry of " Po-
lice," caused the people to run ; he did not see the police on
that occasion. Mr. Jones spoke next. (The witness read
the speech, which was equally violent; he proposed the
first resolution; also the speeches of Jones and others.)

Lord Wilton has taken Mrs. Goodwin's house on thi
West Cliff.

The Marquis of Conyngbani is in treaty for East
Cowes Castle.

Lord Dillon, Lord Cowley, the Marquis of Ailesbury,
and several other noblemen, are expected with their
families early in the month.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron PARKE and the RECORDER.)
AIIIDUCTION OF THE REV. MR. HARVEY'S DAUGHTER.—
Mr. CLAZKSON, who appeared to prosecute Thomas Buxton
Barnes for the abduction of Miss Harvey, a young lady be-
tween
fifteen and sixteen years of age, and the daughter of
the Rev. Mr. Harvey, of Thaxted, applied to the Court to be
allowed to withdraw the prosecution. He said the abduc-
tion in question was followed by a marriage, and there was
every reason to believe that it was a legal and legitimate
marriage, and could not be put aside under auy circum-
stances. He therefore respectfully asked leave of
the Court to withdraw from offering any evidence against
the prisoner, seeing the effect would be that the
punishment which would be inflicted upon him, and which
he richly deserved, would unhappily fall upon the unfortu-
nate young lady who had been betrayed by him. Under
these circumstances, he b gged of his Lordship for permis-
sion to withdraw from offering any evidence, which request
he was sure would be immediately granted, as it would spare
a most highly-respectable family the necesaity of going into
a most painful inquiry.
Atter a few observations from Mr. BALLANTINE, who at-
tended to defend the prisoner,
The COURT contented to the application, and the jury, by
the direction of the Judge, returned a verdict of Not guilty.
The prisoner was consequently discharged.

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

The present week's arrival of English Wheat, coast-
wise, has been decidedly on the increase ; but the sup-
ply by land carriage has been small. To-day the show
of samples of both red and white was very moderate ;
yet the demand, arising from the absence of the princi-
pal buyers, was in a very sluggish state, at Monday's
quotations. In foreign W heat exceedingly little bust-
otss was doing, yet the importers, as the weather is
somewhat unsettled, would not submit to lower prices.
Nearly 15,000 quarters of foreign Barley have come to
hand. This large supply had a depressing influence upon
the trade, and to effect large sales ls. per qr. less money
must have been submitted to by the holders. In Malt
next to nothing was doing, with a full average supply on
offer. The supply of foreign Oats exceeded 26,000
quarters ; however the Oat trade was heavy, at 6d. per
quarter decline. Beans, Yeas, Indian Corn, and Flour
were a very slow inquiry. In prices, however, we have
no alteration to notice.

IF STAINED WITH CRIME YOU
SHALL NOT VOTE.
Whenever I have read this harsh decree of my
brother Reformers my heart has bled. No history,
sacred or profane, seems to sustain them in such
monstrous edict. We read, we preach, we lecture, we
print, we discuss, for what? To convert, to create a
feeling, a love for the holy, pure, and beautiful. To
subdue man's evil passions, to abate his ferocious tem-
perament, to wean him with the law of kindness from
the path of vice to that of virtue. We proclaim, with
Christian zeal, that none are so lost but may be re-
deemed; that past follies can be amended; past crimes
forgiven and forgotten. Our laws ostensibly punish, not
to degrade but to reform. Penitentiaries are to reclaim
and restore, but harsh reforming man--the progressive
being—the advocate of freedom and liberty—the noble
enunciator of political equality, most inconsistently
places the true penitent without the pale of electoral
power for ever! This is wrong, an invasion of His
divine will who meekly ejaculated, " Go thy way, and
sin no more." Votes to all but those who are stained
with crime. This is an absolute decree of the rankest
tyranny unknown even with the present limited fran-
chise. If a man commits a felony—undergoes the
punishment of the law for it—is emancipated, resolves
that his future career shall more than compensate for
his past error, he struggles onward, indomitable in-
dustry leads to comparative comfort, his life
is a pattern of frugality, sobriety, and virtue.
His , worth is gradually seen, ultimately neknowr
ledged, society ' receives, and is proud of the. man.
lie becomes a deacon of a chapel, the simple rectitude
of his life makes him beloved. Past sorrows, shame,
and degradation, are all obliterated. The convicted
felon has returned to honesty—the practice of honesty
creates him friends ; he toils on, marries, becomes a
father, and the dark cloud which once threatened to
shipwreck him is o'ercome; sunshine is now his reward;
his cup, of happiness is full ; he is a happy, pious
Christian. A general election comes ; a bitter, vindic-
tive, ruthless, political opponent is aware of " the one
false step," long, long since atoned for, but he malig-
nautly resolves to open the wound, as the new law pro-
hibits such as he from exercising the privilege of voting.
The election day arrives ; the worthy man presents him-
self to vote ; his implacable foe is there, and openly
declares, in the public polling booth, that he is a con-
victed felon, therefore not allowed to vote. The whole
place is electrified. The good man is weighed down
with unquenchable shame ; he hastily leaves the amazed
gaze of his fellow-citizens who thought so highly of him,
and seeks refuge at home. The infamy flies with as-
tounding rapidity through the town, and the next day
the political victim finds all his honourable exertions of
self-denial to expiate his only crime as fresh and as
crushing as the hour he left his loathsome dungeon to
become " a wiser and a better man." His fate is sealed.
A stealthy retreat is resolved upon. The town is aban-
doned. He becomes a resident elsewhere. The noble
victim falls from his high estate—the lowly worshipper
ut the footstool of Heaven becomes a devotee of the
dram-shop, ending his last miserable moment in a mad-
house 1 For what ? To carry out the pernicious sys-
tem of man's brutal inhumanity to man, that crime shall
have no vote ! —John Easby's Mems.
