HOLLAND.

The draught of the new Constitution of the King-
dom of the Netherlands was published at the Hague
on the 20th instant. The members of both Cham-
bers are to be directly elected. No qualification is
required for admission into the Second Chamber,
but the members of the first must pay from 800
to 1,200 francs taxes, according to the locali-
ties. Citizens entitled to vote must contribute a
minimum of 20 francs and a maximum of 225, ac-
cording to the localities. Both Chambers are to
be renewed by thirds annually. The First Chamber
is to consist of 34 members, and the Second of
Inoslla ofn d, and to s enjroey a
Deputies 68. To be eligible to the first it is necessary to be
vie
40 years of age, and to the second 30, to be born
in
e it
fixedcivil aritgh2t,ss.ooTfhraencesmopt-
m annum with travelling expenses. Clergymen are
to be excluded from both Chambers. The Council
of State is to be maintained, after undergoing some
reforms. The KING is inviolable, and Ministers are
responsible.

The members of the provincial states are to be
elected and renewed by thirds, like those of the
Chambers. The KING is to have the supreme direc-
tion of colonial affairs, but every second year he
must lay before Parliament a detailed account of their
administration and situation, and the Minister of that
department will be obliged to communicate to the
States-General any information they might desire
respecting the colonies.

The KING commands in chief the army and navy,
appoints, dismisses, and pensions the officers, according
to the prescriptions of the law. The Constitution
recognizes the right of citizens to hold meetings.
Seignorial rights are abolished, and lay tithes re-
deemable.

FRANKFORT.

There are upwards of 400 Poles at Frankfort in a
state of extreme destitution. They are refugees re-
turning from exile to their native land. The Com-
mittee of Fifty at Frankfort has recommended them
to the sympathy of [the inhabitants, to enable them to
proceed on their journey.
The Committee has also urged the Governments of
Austria and Prussia to complete the elections as
speedily as possible, in order that the " state of tran-
sition" in which the country is now may be put an
end to 'without delay.

PARMA.

The Patria of Florence, of the 15th inst., contains
advices from Parma of the 12th, announcing the
composition of a Provisional Government as follows:
Count CA STAGNOLA, CONTELLI, Professor PELLE-
GRINI, Count SANVIT ALE, BANDINI, Bishop CARLETTI,
and Advocate MAESTRI. All decrees are published
in the name of the Provisional Government—the
existing civil and military authorities are main-
tained.

RUSSIA.

The Deutsche Zeitung contains the following letter
from Johannisburg, in East Prussia, respecting the
Russian armament :—" Our intelligence from War-
saw is scanty. Russia, however, appears to be arming
with great secrecy. It is said that 200,000 regular
troops have already lined the whole of the western
provinces of Posen."

Another correspondent from Tilsit says there are
about four times as many soldiers on the Russian
Bide as formerly. All the horses are being bought
uP for the artillery. Quarters for large armies have
been provided at Kownow and Mariapol. Those
who were on furlough after twenty-five years' service
have been recalled. Several nobles in Wilna have
..14en recalled, and several 'otheri have been obliged to
(44 the gauntlet. At Kim above one hundred

stuients are said to have been hanged. The Grand
Duke MICHAEL is said to have expressed himself so
decidedly, in the presence of the EMPRESS, respecting
his determination to chasti,e the Prussians, that her
MAJESTY fainted. Proclamations from the EMPEROR
appear daily in Poland—they abound in assurances of
peace and threats of death.

A WOMAN SHOT.

HERTFORD, SATURDAY MORNING.--A most de-
plorable occurrence took place on Thursday last in
the vicinity of the Water House, a secluded spot,
situate at Hertingfordbury, two miles distant. The
Water House, as it is termed, is an old-fashioned
building, erected over a running stream, formerly a
keeper's lodge, and is occupied by an agricultural
labourer named Clark. About twelve o'clock on
Thursday forenoon, a shepherd, who was attending
his flock in a neighbouring field, heard the report of
fire-arms in the direction of the Water House, and
soon afterwards saw the son of Clark, a boy of about
fourteen years of age, running to a female who was
sitting on the ground, but no alarm being given of
anything serious having occurred, he took no notice
of the circumstance. A short time after, the boy,
it appears, went to the residence of Miss Roberts, a
lady living in an adjacent farm, and told her some one
had shot Mrs. Huckle (who, it should be observed
was 63 years of age, and who had come to Clark's
house during the absence of Mrs. Clark, who was
in London), but who had done it he did not know.
Mrs. Roberts immediately went over to the house,
where she found the unfortunate woman weltering in
her blood, and in a dying state. She exclaimed,
" Oh, Lord 1 I must die—it was Bill who did it."
The boy contradicted her, saying " No, it was not
me." Before medical assistance could be procured
she expired. The boy was taken into custody.
Au inquest was held on the body by Mr. Turner,
the coroner, which lasted several hours.
Ultimately the boy came forward, and admitted,
with stolid apathy, that he was the accidental cause
of the poor woman's death. He said he was shooting
at birds in a walnut tree, when the gun went off
accidentally.
The CORONER having severely reprimanded him
for the falsehoods which he had told,
The jury, after considerable discussion, returned a
verdict of " Accidental death." The boy, however,
stiil remains in custody of the police.

ITALY.

LOMBARDY.
The accounts with regard to the surrender of
Pescheira are very conflicting. If we are to believe
the Milan Gazette of the 15th, on the 14th a flag of
truce was sent from Peschiera to the Piedmontese be-
siegers, and an armstice of 24 hours was agreed to
after a short conference. Several mercantile letters
of the 15th, received at Bergamo, state that Peschiera
was taken.
This account, however, does not at all agree with
the statements contained in the dispatches of CHARLES
ALBERT, published in The Sun of Saturday.
A corps of from 600 to 700 Neapolitans, headed
by their band, arrived at Lucca, on the 10th, to take
part against the Austrians. The troops were received
with every demonstration of joy by the people of
Lucca.
Count RADETZKY has published a proclamation at
Verona, dated the 11th, in which he recommends his
soldiers not to be discouraged, since, with the two
strong positions of Verona and Mantua, he may re-
take the line of the Mincio at any time.

SAVOY.

The Sardinian Government proposed to accord de-
corations to several National Guards who distin-
guished themselves in resisting the late unfortunate
expedition of a band of natives of Savoy ; but they
respectfully declined to receive them, alleging that it
would be base in them to accept a reward for having
been obliged to shed the blood of their fellow-coun-
trymen.

AUSTRIA.

The following is a brief summary of the principal
points of the new Austrian Constitution :
The Upper House is to consist of about 200 mem-
bers, one-fifth of them to be nominated by the
EMPEROR. The heads of the princely houses are
also to hare a seat in this assembly ; the remainder
to be elected by the landed proprietors who pay 1,000
florins and upwards annually of taxes. The Lower
House is to be on the broadest democratic basis ;
every roan is to have a vote, and to be eligible as a
representative. The number of members to be about
400.
London, England, 1848-04-24

FREIGHTS

To Liverpool have been slack since our last, and but
few engagements have been made, owing principally,
perhaps, to the desire for later advises before making
further engagements, and partly because all the ships
soon to sail were engaged full. We notice small en-
gagements of cotton at 3-16 d. to id. per lb. for square
bales; some heavy goods 15s. to 205.; 1,000 barrels
north country turpentine at Is. 6d.; and pork 2s. per
barrel. To London same further engagements have
been made at our quotations, including lard at 30s. and
north country turpentine at 2s. per barrel. To Havre
there is nothing offering.

REVIEW OF THE NEW YORK MARKET FOR TURES

DAYS PRECEDING.

Cotton—The market for the past week, say since the
departure of the Caledonia, has been pretty steady, and
although holders have freely supplied, the current de-
mand prices now stand almost exactly as they did a
week ago, though a comparison of quotations at the two
dates shows a decline in some instances of ie. per lb.
There was but little done yesterday, and nothing after
the arrival of the Washington. The total receipts of
cotton at all the shipping ports are 1,683,137 bales,
against 1,450,225 to same dates last year—an increase
this season of 232,912 bales. The total foreign export
this year is 273,043 bales more than last—say, 83,502

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.

In the cotton hosiery trade, deApite the agitation
and unsettled state of public affairs, the hands in
general have work, more or less, few being wholly
unemployed that seek for it; but every effort is made
by numbers of men to leave the stocking-making
business, which is now considered the worst paid of
any description of labour in this or the neighbouring
counties. The silk-glove hands are also pretty well
employed. The drawer, pantaloon, and shirt trade
is also in a tolerable state, and several shops that were
nearly standing have now full employment. The cut-up
cotton hose branch is by no means worse. The troubled
state of the times is, however, felt in the wrought
hose branch, which, in some villages in this county,
has further declined. The system of paying in truck
is extending, and is fast becoming a most intolerable
grievance which requires all the energy of the ma-
gistrates to repress the baneful practice. The silk
hose trade, we regret to state, has not yet felt any
amendment from the return of the English gentry ;
but they most assuredly will do, as large quantities
of fancy silk hose, of almost every description, have
been sold and consumed in Paris, some of them of
descriptions not known to the English workmen.
The cotton bobbin net trade is yet in a de-
pressed state, and a general gloom pervades the
workmen and most of the machine owners, al-
though we hear in some quarters that the
stocks are upon the move, the principal machine-
owner in this vicinity having made some extensive
consignments ; but, as usual, every species of craft is
used by the manufacturers to keep this increased de-
inand from the knowledge of the public. The making
of lace muslins, we are glad to perceive, is again upon
the increase. Some of the machines are engaged in
making cotton ribbons, which are much esteemed by
females, the peculiarly fine quality of cotton used
giving it a glossa exceeding what has hitherto been
seen in cotton fabrics. The ribbons are extremely
cheap. The French lace-trade seems in a stagnant
calm : the providing for so large a body to proceed
to Australia has had a most tranquillising
effect, not only in Calais, but in Nottingham—as,
providing, this measure of mercy had not been adopted,
the local workmen would have been driven to utter
'espair by such an influx of hands. The cotton warp-
once of such high importance to Nottingham, is
still in a lingering condition. The silk branch, though
'getter, is in a depressed state, especially when com-
pared with former years. However, there is still hope
for this body of workmen, as articles are now made from
coarse frames of hard-spun cotton, which closely re-
semble those so generally made by the hand and the
knitting-pins. We have heard but little lately of bobbin
.pr warp velvet, but we believe that it is not quite aban-
,loned.—Nottingham Journal.

most perfect order, and highly decorated, requiring no additional out-
lay. It stands delightfully elevated, commanding an almost bound-
less extent of rich scenery, embracing a grand view of St. Alban's
Abbey. There are excellent walled gardens, hot-houses, good
stibling, &c., and the pleasure-grounds, walks, lawns, and flower
gardens are of unusual and varied beauty, being superbly embel-
lished with fine lofty trees and luxuriant shrubs, surrounded
by the park, which is boldly diversified and studded with majestic
timber in great variety, with thriving oak woods, belts, and
ornamental plantations full of game. The two principal
carriage entrances have handsome double lodges and
ornamental iron gates. The neighbourhood is of the highest respec-
tability, and a perfectly rural district. The farm is in high condi-
tion, lying all within a perfect ring fence adjoining the Park, alto-
gether nearly GOO acres, containing fine veins and strata of rich learn,
gravel, chalk, sand, and some brick earth, with a superior farm-
house and very substantial and complete buildings of every kind ;
the whole abundantly supplied with water. The elegant and modern
furniture may be had, if desired, and an offer would be entertained
for the mansion and park lands without the farm.
Particulars and plans may be otdained at Messrs. Smith's Offices,
in Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, who are fully authorised to dispose of
the property by private treaty; also of W. E. Oliver, Esq., solicitor,

DRURY- LANE THEATRE:DIPARTURE OF TES
.FRENCH.—The anti-monopolists as-a morning contempo-
rary has facetiously termed the troop of French actors
whose performance at " Old Drury" has give* such
offence to the English public, leave London next week,
after giving two farewell performances for which they
modestly charge only a guinea. The warm receptioa they
received, we should think, will effectually prevent any si-
milar attempt of the kind being wads by French artistes.
Patronage of foreign talent to a limited extent is very
good, but when the bounds of moderation are passed,
results like the present must be expected.

Our market was, on the whole, but moderately sup
.ied with Beasts, the general quality of which were
owever, seasonably good. As the dead markets exhi-
bited but a limited'quantity of meat, the Beef trade here
was steady, and Monday's quotations were well sup-
ported; yet the highest figure for the best Scots did not
exceed 4s. per 81bs. The show of foreign stock was by
no means large, and the arrivals from Scotland did not
exceed 260 Scots. There was a slight falling off is the
numbers of Sheep, owing to which the sale for that
description of stock was firm, at very full prices. We had
an improved demand for Lambs, bet we have no advance
to notice in prices. Calves, the supply of which were ex-
tensive, met a slow inquiry, at late rates. In Pigs, next

Extract from the Author's Advertisement to the present Edition.
" The correction of the Work, in reference to the new Statutes and
Cases (which are brought down to May, 1e48), and the revision of
the Press in general, has been confined by the Author to his Son ; his
own retirement from professional practice, and the transfer of his at-
tention to official duties, rendering him less competent than formerly
to labours of that description. But the sheets have been invariably
laid before him during the progress of the pr,nting, and he feels him-
self able to vouch for their accuracy."

EXEMPTION FROM ARREST.

Mr. ANDERTON said he had cut out of a newspaper
a paragraph which he considered it was necessary to
read to the Court, as the subject was one which con
cerned the Corporation in no ordinary:degree. The pa-
ragraph stated that application was made at judges'
chambers to Mr. Justice Coleridge, to discharge an
officer of the City of London Small Debts Court, whose
case, upon an application to the Insolvent Debtors'
Court, appeared on the 6th inst., and who was refused
the protection of the Court and taken in execution on a
writ of fi. fa.; that the arrest was made in the court
where the cases were tried; and the defendant, at the
time he was arrested, contended that, under the 98th
and 99th sections of the City Small Debts Act, he was
not only exempted from arrest, but that the mere laying
hands on him to effect that arrest was an assault, he
being at the time in the execution of his duty; that the
officer, however, demurred to that interpretation of the
clauses, and conveyed the defendant to Whitecross-street ;
and that Mr. Justice Coleridge made an order directing
the defendant to be discharged out of the custody
of the Sheriff. Now, be was not aware that officers
appointed by the Corporation were free from arrest.—
(Hear, hear.) He could not see how, when honest
creditors felt such difficulty in getting their money, or
any part of it, the officers of the Corporation were to be
considered entitled to exemption, and he moved that the
subject be referred to the Officers and Clerks Committee
for inquiry.
Mr. IL TAYLOR said, the Corporation owed it to
Lord Shaftesbury that the protection was introduced
into the Bill.
The subject was then referred to the Committee.
It is proper to state, that Lord Shaftesbury required
that the City Small Debts Bill should be similar in every
respect to the County Courts Bill, and thus a protection
is given to some of its officers, without which it is con-
tended the business of the court could not be carried on,
any more than could that of Parliament without a similar
exemption.
Mr. SNELLING (the chairman of the City Lands Com-
mittee) brought up a report recommending the grant of
a piece of ground belonging to the Corporation to the
parish of St. Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe, in lieu of a
piece of ground to be laid into the public street, near
Puddle Dock, for the purpose of widening the same.
Agreed to.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1848.

For the last fourteen weeks—ever since the Revo-
lution of February, in short—it has been a subject of
astonishment that the Spanish and Portuguese Penin-
sula, has preserved even a questionable tranquillity
and the semblance of contentment. While almost
every other portion of the continent presented a
spectacle of unparalleled turbulence, Spain and Por-
tugal continued in a state of comparative quietude.
The excitement created by the propagandism of the
Parisian democrats, an excitement which penetrated
into some of the most remote corners of Europe, into
Finland and into Bceotia, was unfelt in either of the
'Peninsular capitals, and felt no correspondent thrill
in the frontier villages situated on the southern accli-
vity of the Pyrenees ; while the political waves were
rolling as high as the mountains in Germany, and
among the Italians, there was scarcely a ripple on the
political current in Spain or Portugal. Thrones were
toppled down elsewhere, constitutions crumbled away
into nothingness, and empires formed out of hetero-
geneous states, as in the case of Austria, fell into
2 uins like a palace of cards built by the hands of
children. Strange as this tranquillity would have
fiEWIL;I)-: appeared at such a moment of universal agitation in
- any other of the continental principalities, it was
- peculiarly and wonderfully strange in regard to the
lberia4Aind Lusitanian peninsula. For of all the
-;. kingdoms of Europe, Spain and Portugal had hitherto
been the most liable to the horrors of insurrection.
Ementer had long ago become the pastime of the
`,4 Spaniard and the business of the Portuguese ; their
attractions had surpassed those of the bull-fight of the
present age, and those of the auto-dale of the age
