in consequence of the distance, but the expense will
cease the very moment of their arrival. Immediate
employment can be obtained at ample wages, in ad-
dition to rations on a scale of abundance to which
our labourers are unfortunately utter strangers.
Food that is now actually wasted from want
of consumers may be converted to useful
purposes. It is said that in 1847 no less than
64,000,0001bs of meat were lost in New South
Wales, while myriads were starving at home ; and
with all this superabundance of provisions and
every other comfort that could be desired, there is a
sad deficiency of the labourers who could so easily
be provided for. It is asserted that corn is shed for
want of reapers, and wool either lost or greatly dete-
riorated :in value for want of shearers, and petitions
from every part of the colony have called for a sup-
ply of that labour which is so urgently required, and
which can be so handsomely remunerated. It should
also be borne in mind that on sending parties to New
South Wales, we are creating extensive consumers
of our home manufactures. Australia imports
film this country to the value of from 71. to
101. for every inhabitant, while Canada averages but
11. 155., and the United States but ss. 81. per head.
The great market that would be created for the
productions of our native industry by Australian
emigration should not be forgotten in the calculation
of its comparative advantages.
While Mr. BOYD and others have fairly placed those
advantages before the public, the most efficient
auxiliary has entered the field to point out the
manner in which the transit may be effected.
Lieutenant WAG lionN, R.N., the enterprising and
intelligent originator of the overland route to India,
has vublished a pamphlet appropriately dedicated to
Earl GREY, in which that nobleman's attention is
directed to the proposition which comes so peculiarly
within the sphere of his duties as Colonial Secretary.
The Dame of WAGIIORN is sufficient to secure any
suggestion emanating from such a quarter for respect
and consideration. He is pre-eminently entitled
to the national gratitude for what he has already
effected in so materially reducing the time within
which we can communicate with our Indian
dominions. His discovery saved the country
very considerable expenditure during the recent
wars in Sinde and the Punjaub. Although
unrewarded for his extraordinary services, he still
applies his vigorous intellect to new projects for-
the benefit of his native land. We shall not now
attempt to set forth the nature of his suggestions.
The paper is but a short one, and we trust- that
every person interested in the question will make
himself fully acquainted with its contents.

The Courrier de Lyon of Sunday says
The men employed in the national workshops of
Miribel have, after the example or the Voraces of Lyons,
placed in confinement three magistrates, the Procureur
of the Republic, the Juge d'lnstruction, and the Regis-
trar of Ts eroux. The cause of this act was that
these gentlewen tad proceeded to Miribel, on a warrant
issued from tile courts of law of Lyons, to search for
arms. About 500 men assembled, and, preventing the
officers from acting, seized on them and locked them up
in the guard-house. When this became known at Lyons
the Advocate-General set out with a body of troops to
deliver them. Nothing more was known when the post

SPAIN.

Madrid papers of the 26th have arrived.

Colonel BRISTOW, after suffering thirty-six hours'
close imprisonment, was sent off on the 25th, in
charge of the police., We believe that the
British subjects in Spain have to thank the mis-
cniev,us meddling of Lord STANLEY and the stolid,
stupid faith of Lord ABERDEEN in the infallibility of
M. C.; UIZOT for their present unpleasant position. We
trust, however, that Lord PALMERSTON will not suffer
an hour to elapse without demanding reparation from
the Spanish Government.
In such a case, a British Admiral would be the
best negotiator, and the explanations and reparations
should be made on the quarter-deck of a British line-
cf-battle ship.

abandoned.

The sub-committee appointed to examine the projet
de Zoi presented by the Government for the re-pur-
chase of the railways by the state, has resolved
unanimously that it will report to the Assembly
in favour of the rejection of the Government propo-
sitions.

The Committee on the expenses of the Assembly
resolved that the salary of 80,000 francs a year,
hitherto given to the President, should be abolished,
and that the President should henceforth be allowed
only 4,000 francs per month. The Questors, who had
10,000 francs a year, are to have 500 francs a month.
BOURSE—PARIS, WEDNESDAY, May 31 .

THREE o'CLoot.—The fail in the French Renter,
which commenced on Monday and continued yester-
day, made notable progress to-day. Throughout the
day the offers to silt were incessant, but 1:0 purchasers
Were to be found. This fall is attributed partly to the
bud state of the Bank, partly to the general uneasi-
ness, and in a considerable degree to the realization
of profits by those who were speculating for the rise.
The depression in the Bank of France is very consider-
able. The Bens du-Tresor are at 29 discount, which is
a considerable improvement on yesterday. Vielle Mon-
tagnes have fallen to 1,980%, having been at one period
of the day at 1,950 f. The response de primes was de-
clared in the Three per Cents. at 48f., and in the Five
per Cents. at 69f. In both they were lifted. After the de-
claration the Relates again tell. Railway shares kept
their ground better than the Renter. For the Accqunt,
the French Three per Cents. have fallen 75c., Five per

It declares that from the facts which have come to light
from the testimony of various witnesses, and from the
declaration of M. Louis Blanc himself when examined in
that capacity, it would appear that he took an active
part in the invasion of the Assembly on May 15, by the
crowd. By his own avowal, he spoke twice to the people,
once from a window outside when with Barbei and
Albert, and again in the Salle des Pas Psrdus. In par-
ticular he made use of these words, "I congratulate you
on having to-clay established your right of petition; now
it can never be taken from you. Without his proceeding
further, the requisitory of the law officers says, there was

The discussion on the resolution of RAVEAUX (the

when at last the Members of the Left adopted the
following resolution proposed by M. WERSER, of

By this resolution the German Parliament of

" So make your choice, take part with us, and break
the chains that have been forged for you, renounce the
outcasts of foreign lands, cast off the celusions by which
you have been inveigled, preserve the sense of truth
and uprightness that you have inherited from your
fathers ; do this, and then you will be an excellent
people. Then will the Emperor return to the old castle
as a pledge of the concord and union of his people, and
this concord will be a guarantee of strength and power,
and a security for the happiness of a new and prosper-

" Inspruck, 22d May, 1848."
The late Viceroy of Lombardy and the Archduke
JOHN have joined, the EMPEROR at Inspruck. It is
said that the Court is inclined to side with the
Bohemian party, and to favour the recognition of
Slavonian nationality in that kingdom, in which case
the whole of Germany would declare against the
EMPEROR, and his Court.
