less valuable because it was effected by force. They
could not avoid finding that the prisoner uttered the
words imputed to him ; but he called upon them if
they believed that he uttered them in a patriotic sense,
and therefore with an honest intention, to find the pri-
soner not guilty, notwithstanding the verdicts that had
been given this session, and the 6' queer law " they had
heard. Let the jury bear in mind that the interests of
millions were at stake in these prosecutions. He quoted
Locke in opposition to (the opinion of the Attorney-
General, to show that resistance against wrong was the
inherent right of a civilised people. The constitution
under) which they lived was susceptible of the greatest
amount of human liberty if extended to its proper limits;
but if its ancient principles were to be departed from,
as they now were, its liberty, and with it the trade of
the country would perish. The Learned Gentleman
cited a number of authorities in support of these senti-
ments, and concluded a long address, by im-
ploring the jury to acquit the prisoner.* He main-
tained that the prisoner had simply uttered in
coarser language, for he was only a poor cabinet-maker,
similar sentiments to those enunciated by such great
lights as Locke, Parley, Chatham, Fox, namely, re-
sistence to tyranny,"and to arm in defence of their rights,
for the law of England allowed a man to have possession
of arms, and ho hoped the people would never give up
their right. The Government had wantonly and with-
out sufficient reason interfered with all the public meet-
ings that had taken place in the metropolis for the last
six months, and had sent the police to them to ferment
disturbances, and had thereby interfered with the
great constitutional right which the people pos-
sessed of meeting and discussing their grievances.
He also read a speech of Chief Justice Wilde in the
House of Commons, in which he eloquently defended
this right. No great measure was ever carried without
being advocated at great public meetings, which were
not always peaceable. Public meetings were of no use
unless the speakers could express themselves openly.
But if the speakers at these had the fear of the
Attorney-General before their eyes—that a Crown
lawyer was ready to put his imprimatur upon whatever
they might say of an unpalatable nature, there
would be an end to freedom of speech, and public
meetings would become a " farce," in the language of the
Duke of Wellington. He advised the Attorney-General
to draw a deep moral lesson from the events that had
recently taken place in France, in consequence of the
attempt that was made to suppress the liberty of the
people. Look at the result. The man who had forti-
fied Paris, and brought 100,000 armed men into his
capital was now an unpitied exile at Claremont. The
Government had failed in its attempts to crush the
press, and had therefore fallen upon these weak and
helpless men.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL briefly replied.
Chief Justice WILDE then summed up, and explained
the law to the jury.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty of all the counts,
except that charging him with riot.
The verdict was not given until a quarter to five.
There was another indictment against the prisoner,
but the Attorney-General announced that he should
not proceed with it.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.)
EXTENSIVE 1 ORGERIES.— William Henry Bradbury
was placed in the dock, indicted with having committed
four acts of forgery—the first on the 18th December,
1847, on Messrs. Dixon and others, for the sum of 3001. ;
two more for 4341. 165., and 3741. 75., on Sir William
Lubbock, Bart., and Company; and one for 3741. 7s. 4d.
on other parties.
John Clark, described as a grocer, was also indicted
with being concerned in the same transactions.
Both the prisoners were young men.
Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Ballantine for the prisoners.
Mr. BODKIN said the forgery of the 434/. 16s. was
committed by a cheque purporting to be drawn by the
house of Benjamin Hawes and Sons on the banking-
house of Lubbock and Co., and the paper of the cheque
had been manufactured and engraved for the express
purpose of deceiving the bank. The cheque was pre-
sented at the bank and cashed, and the success attending
this transaction had induced the parties to make a second
attempt on the same bank on the same day for
3711. 7s. 4d., which also succeeded. The bank was
afterwards induced to make inquiries, and intelligence
having reached London that two Englishmen had been
arrested in Brussels, the solicitor for the prosecution
and John Forrester, the well-known police-officer, were
sent over, and the prisoners were discovered to be the
parties of whom they had been in search, and some of
the notes which had been removed from Lubbock's bank
were found upon them.
Thomas Briggs, cashier in Lubbock's bank, proved
the payment of the forged cheques, and the number and
date of the notes given. Part of the sum was paid in
gold. The cheques purported to bear Messrs. Hawes'
private number.
Mr. William Hawes said the cheques were neither
drawn by himself nor his brother, nor had they been
drawn under their directions.

Joseph Thornet, a servant out of place, said he put
an advertisement in the Times, and in-consequence of it
a person called upon him in York. street, Westminster-
road, and, after some conversation, told witness to call
upon him in the evening of the next day at the East
India Chambers. He accordingly called upon him, and
afterwards went with him to the Commercial Rooms in
Mincing-lane, where witness received a cheque upon
Messrs. Lubbock, and was instructed to take it
to the bank and get it cashed. On his way
he was accosted by the prisoner Clark, who
asked him where he was going. Witness told
him to Lubbock's hank, and Clark said he would
show him the way. When witness came out with the
money Clark meet him again, and asked him if he had
(!one his business all right. Witness said yes, and
Clark said so have I. He then left witness, and went in
the direction of Mincing-lane. Witness delivered
the money to the person who sent him. After-
wards he met witness by appointment at other
places, and told him that his brother, with whom he in-
tended to engage him, had not yet come to town, and
that he was to call upon him o❑ the following Monday.
Witness, however, never saw him again, and at length
went to the banking-house, and gave an account of the
whole circumstance.

Mr. Hillingburg, from Brussels, proved having taken
the prisoners into custody, in consequence of their not
having regular passports.
John Newborn, a young man, said he had been out
of a situation, and put an advertisement in the news-
paper. He received an answer to it; and, in conse-
quence of that he went to the East India Chambers,
where he met the prisoner Bradbury, who engaged him
as a servant to a gentleman. He met him again by ap
pointment again on the 22d of April, and Bradbury
asked him to go and get a cheque cashed at
Messrs. Lubbock and Co.'s for 3711. 7s. 4d. If the
cashier asked who it was for, he was to say,
for hunt and Company, and if further inquiries
were made, to say, Mr. Thompson. Witness brought
back the money to Bradbury, at the Custom House,
where he had been waiting, and appointed to meet him
at four o'clock at Hatchard's hotel, Piccadilly. The
prisoner came there at the appointed time in a cab, and
told witness that the gentleman who had engaged him
would not be in town till Wednesday. He gave him
10s. and then left. He (witness) took the number of the
cab, and, afterwards seeing an advertisement in the
papers, he called upon Messrs. Bushe and Mullins, and
told them the whole particulars.
The cashier of the bank proved the notes, and Mr.
llawes the forgery.
Robert Neech, cabman, said he recollected being called
off the stand in Leadenhall-street by two persons on the
day in question. He believed the prisoners to be the
persons, but could not positively swear to their identity.
One got out near the Golden-cross, Charing-cross, and
he drove the other to Hatchard's Hotel, and there he saw
him meet with the last witness.
Mr. Hillingburg recalled—Proved that the two pri-
soners were taken into custody at Brussels, not having

THE ARMY AND NAVY. 11.
(From the United Service Gazette:of this day.)
DRILLING OF THE COAST GUARD MEN.-At the re-
quest of Captain Houston Stewart, C. 8., the Comptrol-
ler-General of the Coast Guard, the Admiralty have
ordered small parties of Coast Guard men to be removed
on board the Excellent, gunnery ship, at Portsmouth,
for a limited time, to perfect themselves in the system of
gunnery taught in that establishment. Their Lordships
have also ordered the Benbow, 72, at Sheerness, to be
appropriated for a similar purpose.
COAST GUARD AND COAST DEFENCE.—WO understand
from the best authority, that not only is it the intention
of the Government to establish batteries, and to drill all
the men of the Coast Guard Service, but it is in contem-
plation to enrol the seamen and fishermen of the coast
us sea fieneibles, or a coast militia, and to drill them in
the use of the musket and at the great gun exercise.
With this view the Admiralty are appointing active and
experienced officers in the service, having conceded, as
an inducement, the advantage of permitting them to
count their time served iu the Coat Guard as for sea
service.

The Commandant of the Portsmouth Division of
Royal Marines has been directed to permit the Coast
G uard in the neighbourhood to exercise at the sea bat-
teries of the artillery companies, as well as at those of
the divisional companies.
The reward of 1001. per annum, for distinguished
service has been conferred on Major-General H. God-
win, C. 8., an officer of great merit and distinction.
Commencing service with the 90th Foot at Ferrol, he
afterwards proceeded to Hanover in 1805, and subse-
quently was with the Peninsular Army in Portugal, in
1808 and 1809. During the latter period he was present
at the memorable passage of the Douro. Marching
from Gibralter to Tarifa, in command of two flank com-
panies, he went there with Lord Lynedoch, and was
present at the battle of Barossa, where he was severely
wounded. From this time until 1824, Major-General God-
win had few opportunites of serTice, but in that year we

find him engaged in the Burmese war. From 1824 to
1826 he held six separate commands against the enemy,
on one of which he captured the fortified town of Mar-
taban, and afterwards the fortified position of Tantabain,
where he captured 36 pieces of artillery. Subse-
quently in the action at Sembike, when in command of
the advanced guard he carried the front face of the
enemy's position.
Major-General Thomas Bunbury, has suc-
ceeded to the distinguished service reward of 1001 per
annum. This gallant officer led the storming party at
Forts Frederick and Zelandia, as a volunteer, at the
capture of Surinam, inllBo4. He also served in the cam-
paign of 1814, in Holland, including the attacks on
Mexem, and the bombardment of the French fleet at
Antwerp. General Bunbury subsequently served in the
American war.

We regret to find by accounts received by tho last
West India mail, that that distinguished corps, the 88th,
or Connaught Rangers, has suffered severely from fever.
THE ENCAMPMENT AT KENSALL MoolL—The force
stationed at the camp, consisting of the 9th Regiment,
has been increased by two companies of the 30th; and
the number of troops there now amount to about 1,000.
Several men have been compelled to go into hospital at
the Regent's Barracks, Manchester.
RECRUITS FOR THE ROYAL MARINES.—The standard
has been raised for recruits for this corps to 5 ft et 6.1
inches for growing lads between the ages of eighzeen
and twenty years, and 5 feet 7 inches from twenty to
twenty-five years of age.
NEW STEAM-VESSELS.—The Admiralty have ordered
that in future all steam-vessels with new machinery, and
especially with screw-propeller engines, when tried for
the first time out of port, are to be accompanied by
another steamer.

INCREASED ARMANENTS.--Orders have been received
at Portsmouth to receive, when ready, six guns, to be
sent to Malta, by first conveyance, to the Queen, 110,
which ship is in future to mount 116 guns. The addi-
tion is two 325, 42 cwt., 81t. long, on main-deck ; two
325, 45 cwt., 8 ft. 6 in. on quarter-deck ; and two 325,
25 cwt., 6 ft. on her forecastle. The Amphion, auxiliary
screw steam-frigate, is also to take on board at Spithead
an additional number of guns, making her armament 34
—viz., one 50 cwt. 32-pounder and one 25 cwt. 32-
pounder on the forecastle ; one 50 cwt. 32-pounder on
the quarter-deck; and one 50 cwt. 32 pounder on the
main deck.

Boys.—Some new regulations have been issued re-
cently with respect to the boys of her Majesty's service.
The Admiralty hare directed that all boys who have
served for any time, and have good characters, may be
entered on board the flag ships, and are to be the
first that are drafted for vacancies. Those boys who
have been paid off are in future to have the same privi-
leges granted to them as to seamen, namely—to be
granted six weeks' leave, at the expiration of which time,
if they do not come back, they are not to have " run"
marked against their names ; but boys who are at-
tached to the flag ship in consequence of not having served
their time, are not entitled to six weeks' leave, but leave
may be granted them at the discretion of the Captain.
All the Supernumerary Boys in the flag ships are to be
discharged into the first vacancies that occur in the Squa-
drons, andino more boys are to be entered until the
Supernumeraries are provided for.
THE NEW LIGHTS FOR STEADIERS.--We understand,
from very good authority, that the Austrians have ex-
pressed a disposition to adopt, in the Austrian Navy,
and in the Austrian Steam• Packet Company's boats, the
new system of lights, for the prevention of collisions at
sea, introduced by the Admiralty, the plan of which ap-
peared in our Gazette of last week. All foreign
Navies, it is expected, will gladly avail themselves of
this excellent arrangement.
THE FRENCEL SYSTEM.—The Admiralty, adopting the
French system, have directed that the Royal Frederick,
110, built at Portsmouth, shall not be launched or cop-
pered, but she is to be kept on the stocks. She is to be
considered as au advanced ship, and her stores and ar-
mament are to be provided accordingly.
THE L'ACIFIC.—It is a fact to be deplored that the
naval force on the South American station is already
very deficient, and is about to be still further reduced.
At present the squadron consists of the Asia, 84, flag-
ship; Grampus, 50, Captain H. B. Martin; Constance, 50;
Captain Courtenay ; Juno, 26, Captain Blake; Calypso,
20, Captain Worth; and Sampson, steam-frigate, Cap-
tain Henderson. The Grampus is, however, now re-
ceiving freight to bring home, and the Juno is to follow
in August; consequently the station will be left with
only four ships to protect British interests in a part of
the world wherein they need most protection.
In consequence of an apprehended attack by the
Indians on Belize, the Admiralty have ordered a suffi-
cient force there for the protection of British interests.

REGULAR COMMUNICATION WITH THE COAST OF
AFRICA.—As the Admiralty have arranged to dispatch
u man-of-war to the coast of Africa station on the Ist of
every month, taking mails to Madeira and other islands,
en route to Sierra Leone and Ascension, so their Lord.
ships have ordered Commodore Sir C. Hotham,
the Commander-in-Chief there, to send one ship of his
squadron, on the Ist of every month, with a mail for
England.
SIERRA LEONE. —The want of a safe and commodious
landing-place for boats at Sierra Leone, end also of a
wharf with a goad depth of water alongside, is, we un-
derstand, about to be supplied. Commodore Sir Charles
Hotham, has taken great interest in the matter, and has
employed the Master of his ship to make a survey,
which has been ',very ably done, and a drawing for-
o arded, we understand, to the Admiralty. When this
is completed, a steam-ship as large as the Penelope will
be able to go alongside to coal.
THE LATE COMMANDER LEVINGE.—A private letter
from an officer on the African station thus notices the
death of that most estimable officer, Commander Le-
vine :—" Commander Levinge, of the Penelope, to
the sincere regret of all on the station, died
on the evening of the 24th of April, at the time
when a marine named Imre, who had died in the
morning, was in the act of being committed to the deep.
The Penelope had been to Congo for water, and al-
though only one night there, contracted in that short
space of time four cases of fever, one of which was the
commander. The remains of the gallant officer were
enclosed in a copper coffin and thus brought to Ascen-
sion, at which island he was buried on the 26th ult."

GRAND REVIEW OF THE
TROOPS AT WOOLWICH.
Woo',lvrea, JULY 7.—lt was announced in orders,
at a late hour last night, that the whole of the troops
in the garrison would assemble on Woolwich-common
shortly after ten o'clock, A.M. today, in review
order; and at eleven o'clock Field Marshal his Royal
Highness Prince Albert arrived on the parade
ground in front of the Royal Artillery Barracks, j
attended by Colonel Wylde, CB., and Lieutenantrece?ved
Colonel Seymour. His Royal Illghness a
on alighting from the royal carrisge by Fielsd Marshal
the Marquis of Anglesey, Master-General of the
Ordnance, Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman,
C. 13., and K.C.H. Commandant of the garrison,

Lieutenant-Colonel Brereton, C. 8., and K. 11.,
Lieutenant - Colonel Anderson, Lieutenant-Colonel
Warde, Royal Artillery, Lieutenant-Colonel Eng-
lish, Royal Engineers, Brigade 3lajor Cuppege, Cap-
tain Tylden, Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster-General
Royal Artillery, and Captain Wingfield, of the riding
establishment. The royal standard was hoisted on
the fieg.staff, and a royal salute bred from the mortar
battery on his Royal Highness entering the garrison.
The Duke of Beaufort and General the Marquis of Lon-
donderry, Colonel of the 2d Life Guards, had arrived
a few minutes previous to Prince Albert, and were pre-
sent to receive his Royal Highness.
At ten minutes past eleven, Prince Albert, dressed in
the uniform of field-marshal, and a brilliant staff, pro-
ceeded to the common, where the troops were drawn up
in line from south to north; the Royal Horse Artillery
under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Bell; the
line under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Crut-
tenden, formed into three battalions, the right under
the command of Lieutenant-colonel
Palmer, the
centre under Lieutenant-Colonel Evans, the left
under Lieutenant Colonel FurneauS; the Royal Sappers
and Miners under the command of Captain Cragie, and
the Royal Marines under the cornreand of Lieutenant-
Colonel Coryton, the field batteries under the cona-
maed of Colonel Cleveland. Immediately on entering
the common his Royal Highness was joined by
Field-Marshal the Duke, of Wellington, who had
just arrived, in uniform. His Royal Highness
welcomed the Gallant Puke, shook hands with
him, and remained in conversation with the veteran
warrior during the whole time of the review. Major-
General Prince George of Cambridge and his Serene
Highness the Prince of Hesse, arrived in a few mi-
nutes after the Duke of Wellington, in uniform—
the Prince of Hesse in a very handsome Prussian
military dress, with helmet cap, the whole of a fine
blue colour ; the Duke of Richmond, in the
uniform of a yeomanry corps ; Colonel the Earl of
Cardigan, in the uniform of the 11th (Prince Albert's
own) Hussars ; Colon( 1 Campbell, Lieutenant-Colonel

Lieutenant-Colonel Pester,
Colonel Gordon, Royal Mariets, Major Thurlow and
Captain Paget attended as Aides-de-Camp to the
Master-General. There were numerous carriages on the
ground, with distinguished parties in them, and general
and other officers not in uniform,
On his Royal Highness Prime Albert, Prince George
of Cambridge, the Duke of Wellington, and the brilliant
staff approaching the troops, his Royal Highness
Prince Albert was received by the Master-General and
the Commandant of the Garriseil, the troops presenting
arms, and the bands of
the .Nrious branches of the
service playing the National At them. Prince Albert,
ith the whole of the ee
e•-•%s, then rode down
the line and up the rears,
"antining particularly the
clean and excellent appearance of the men, the fine
condition of the horses and the excellence of their ap-
pointments.
Prince Albert and the staff of officers then
returned to the flag-staff, and the field batteries having
moved forward to the head of the line, the troops
marched past at slow and quick time, and the field
batteries at a trot, and the Royal Morse Artillery at a
trop and afterwards at a full gallop, The field bat-
teries then commenced firing, and
going through their
evolutions, which they performed ie a highly creditable
manner, affording ample
evidence of their efficieecy.
The Royal Horse Artillery neat went through their
evolutions with great celerity and ; ;
precision, showing
their capabilities for quick movement; and now that they
have larger guns, with six instead of four horses each,
their more effective firing. The Royal Horse Artillery
and the field batteries, at the coneusion, were formed
into line near the Royal Military Academy, and fired
several rounds from each gun, tie royal and distin-
guished visitors proceeding to the right of the line to
witness the practice.
His Royal Highness Prince Allen and the staff, on
leaving the common, visited the mortar battery, and
witness( d several rounds fired flew the howitzers and
mortars at a flag-staff, distant 60( yards, and the prac-
tice was very good.

Prince Albert, attended by Lieutenant Colonel Sey-
mour, entered the royal carriage at the mortar battery,
and returned to Buckingham Palace at a quarter past
one o'clock, proceeding along the Blackheath•-road.
The Duke of Wellington proceeded with the officers
to the mess-room, the band of the Royal Artillery
playing " See the Conquering Hero comes," and after
partaking of an elegant dtjeuner, returned to Apsley
House.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JULY 7. The non.
settlemeat of the duty question bad a depressing in-
fluence on the market, and the sales of the week are
consequently unimportant.—Bristol Mercury.
lIER MAJESTY'S MARINE EXCURSION. -- As SO
many rumours are afloat respecting her Majesty's sum-
mer movements, we believe we may state, with some
degree of confidence, that it is not the Royal intention
to visit either Ireland or Scotland this year. Her Ma-
jesty's cruises will be confined to the Channel and neigh-
bouring islands. The 25th inst. is the day named for
the commencement of the trip.—United Service Gazette.
CHILD MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN
MANCHESTER. FRIDAY. A woman named Ann
Davies, the wife of Joseph Davies, an engine-driver,
destroyed her child this morning under the fol-
lowing distressing circumstances. Mrs. Davies gave
birth to the child , about a fortnight ago, and
on Tuesday last the father, who bad been ill for
some time, died of consumption. On entering her
room this morning the infant was found in bed quite
dead, having been drowned, and then again placed in the
bed. A rope was found in the kitchen, suspended from
a hook, having a noose at the end, and on the floor was
found another hook, which had been drawn apparently
by her weight. It would seem that the poor woman
had been disturbed, and then left the house. A letter
was found disposing of her little property. No tidings
have yet bee❑ heard of her. . _

HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL.—A deputation from
upwards of sixty waterworks companies in England
(George Arthur Williams, High Bailiff of Cheltenham,
chairman), have been for some time sitting at
Osborne's Hotel, Adelphi, in or& r to protect their in-
terests from the injuries this Bill would inflict upon
them if passed in its present form. They complain not
without cause of the breach or faith en the part of Lord
Nlorpeth, who after having consented to insert clauses
for their protection, and having them printed in his own
Bill—all at once, after the deputations had left London,
and without giving them notice, withdrew the whole of
them! From what took place, however, last night in the
House of Lords, these companies, it is hoped, will at last
obtain justice.
DEVONSEIIRE.—The weather during the past week
has beets showery, and not particularly favourable for
the hay harvest. Nevertheless, considerable quantities
have been cut, and saved, for the most part in tolerable
fair condition. The grain crops look well upon the
whole, and, if the weather should now take a favourable
turn, we may anticipate an excellent harvest.— Watern

ROYAL WESTERN YACHT CLUB. - PLYMOUTH,
JULY s.—On Monday last there was an election of a
secretary, in the room of Walter Lerner Esq., who had
resigned. There were only two candidates, Lieut.
Digby, RN., and Capt. Fisk. On a poll being taken,
there were 39 votes for Lieut. Digby, and 25 for Capt.
Fisk. The former was therefore elected.

meeting was held last evening, at the society's rooms,
20, Bedford-street, Strand—J. E. Gray, Esq., F.R.S
president, in the chair. T. C. Hunt, Esq., her Majesty's
consul at St. Michael's, Azores, presented a valuable
collection of specimens collected by him at St. Mary's.
In this collection were new species not before observed
in the Azores, although found in South Europe. Mr.
Sanson communicated a paper, being a " Notice of the
discovery of Schistostega pennata in Wales." A speci-
men was presented.
DUBLIN, JULY 6.—Mr. Sergeant Warren died
this day, at his residence in Leeson-street. A serious
accident has befallen another eminent advocate, Mr.
George Bennett. On Monday last he was coming out
of the Limerick Club-house, and unfortunately trod upon
an orange peel, by which he was thrown heavily against
the kerb stone. The exact character of the injury sus-
tained is not given, but it appears to have been serious.
The deceased Sergeant and Mr. Bennett were most in-
timate friends.

IhrmAnKET.—On Tuesday next the performances
at this theatre are to be devoted to the benefit of Mr.
Frederick Webster, the efficient stage director. We are
sure that it only requires to be made generally known in
order to secure a bumper for a gentleman who has
contributed so much to the amusement and comfort of
all play goers.
SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY, Juts 7.—The Danish
schooner Mathilde, Captain Ruben, arrived off Cowes
this morning, from Mazatlan, Gulf of California; she
has on freight 350,000 dollars in specie, which is to be
landed at Cowes, and forwarded to London.
SPECIE.—The ship Vernon, arrived in the Dock
from Madras and the Cape of Good Hope, respectively,
has brought from the former place seven boxes of specie,
five of which were individually addressed, and two con-
signed to order; and from the Cape eight boxes of specie,
also consigned to order.
NATIONAL. REPRESENTATION.—We are requested
to make the following corrections:—Sir William Moles-
worth's name to be added to the Ayes (minority); Vis-
count Mahon, instead of the O'Gorman Mahon, in the
Noes (majority).
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—For the
last few days we have had fine warm weather, which,
coupled with increased supplies, causes the trade to be
dull, and millers restrict their operations to present
wants. Wheat may be noted ls. to 2s. per quarter
cheaper, and spring corn is offered on somewhat lower
terms.
CHEQUES ON THE REPUBLICAN BANK.--It is known
that in the quarters occupied by the insurgents they
gave orders for bread and meat. The following is a
copy of two bonds given to a baker in Rue Mesnilmon-
tant:—" French Republic—ln the name of the people
bakers are enjoined to deliver gratuitously to every per-
son who shall demand it a pound and a half of bread,
and half a pound to children.—(Signed)—E. C., Quartier
St. Maur." " Bond for six four pound loaves for the
barricade of Rue Mesnilmontant, near Rue d'Angou-
IC:me, for the people.—E. C., Quayfemmappes."
SUICIDE.—We regret to announce a determined,
act of self-destruction committed yesterday morning, in
Hasler Barracks, near Gosport, by Adjutant Edmund
William Jennings, second senior lieutenant of the 91st
regiment. The unfortunate gentleman, whilst in his
room, placed a pistol in his mouth, and effectually
destroyed life, by blowing away a portion of the skull.
Surgical assistance was promptly sent for, and arrived.
The deceased was highly respected. Numerous rumours
are in circulation as to the cause of the sad immolation,
which would be impolitic to publish. A coroner's in-
quest is summoned.
MANUFACTURE OF PIKES AT GLASGOW.—From
information communicated to the police during the
week, we understand they were led to make an inspec-
tiona of a house in Anderston, where they found
number of pikes newly manufactured, and o the mostds offitteen
formidable character, the blades being
and ontinue
inches in length. The manufacturers";
weapons have in the meantime absconded, c

at large. It is thought the pikes bad arhese deadly

THE LATE OUTBREAK IN PARIS.
(From the Dublin Pilot.)
We discussed this momentous event in our last, as
connected with the blind obstinacy of misrule, which,
feeding discontent until it grows into vengeance, con-
I summates its own overthrow by one revolution, leaving
in the bosom of society a legacy of vice, disorganization,
and extravagant expectations which supply material for
many revolutions. We now come to treat that event—
as was our intention from the first—as it affords a lesson
to the aggrieved and oppressed to whom revolution
seems in prospect the last sad resource, that so serious
an affair may not be as flippantly undertaken as it can
be written upon, or without that sober and deliberate
inquiry into the utility of means and ends—of materials
and of principles, by which alone a revolution can be
consolidated. Without this, what is undertaken, as the
end will prove to be but the beginning of calamity.
There is, as we all know, and some of us have felt,
considerable intrepidity required to confront the errors
arid crimes of power. There is another duty of a
journalist which requires, at least, equal moral cou-
rage—namely, to resist delusion when it infects yet en-
dangers a people. The late outbreak in Paris—from
the bosom of the Republic by those who had conquered
it—the attempt to revolutionize a revolution with all its
bloody concomitants, is, we think, pregnant with in-
struction to others—we know it has instructed ourselves
—and with this advantage, that it is a salutary lesson
of experience to Ireland without dearly purchasing it.
The late conflict in Paris has supplied us with evidence.
Let us not neglect its warnings. It has told us that a
revolution achieved is not always accomplished—that in
its very successes it may have collected elements of dis-
order, requiring more severe measures, and more
stringent laws to consolidate, than those by which the
original revolution was stimulated. This is a subject
peculiarly urgent for the Irish people at this juncture
to investigate, and on the Irish press to discuss. Heaven
forbid Irishmen should be found incapable of the in-
quiry, or that it should not possess any portion of a
press with courage to enter upon it! Then, indeed,
we might give up such a country in despair. The Irish
people suffer more afflictions than the French did under
Louis Philippe. Admitted. Do they therefore meditate
the same plan of redress? If so, have they prepared
such a catastrophe with means or upon principles which
present any probability of success; and that success
redress, not calamity aggravated? And if the answer
to these questions be untavourable to the revolutionary
experiment, are the Irish people, in the indulgence of
the sentiment, neglecting materials of redress which
would be much more capable of obtaining the promised
advantages without the positive evils of a revolution of
blood? These are serious questions, and which a people
not insane will inquire into and decide before deluded to
act. We cannot deny the fact—and it would be un-
worthy of our position and duty to the Irish people to
evade it—that a certain portion of the Irish public
press, and some public men, openly advocate revolu-
tion—name time, means, and end. The Government
upon which they would war, and the people they
profess to regenerate, are, therefore, purchasers with
notice. Now, we say that if such avowals of intent are
not serious, they are mischievous to every interest of so-
ciety; and, if serious, are fatal to their end, and must
render it abortive. What wise tactician serves notice
on the enemy when, where, and by what mode ho means
to meet him? We do not believe that the men who
adopt such strategy really mean to fight themselves; but
if a portion of the people but believe them, they may
bring others into misfortune, and confirm the very injus-
tice they profess to overthrow. The principles asso-
ciated with the projected Irish revolution are totally sub•
versive of its success, or efficacy if it did succeed. Some
of the leading writers of this revolutionary school have
repeatedly exhorted the people, even during the exist-
ence of law and of power to enforce it—that when
the tax-gatherer comes to the door, the answer
should be, not money, but the thrust of the pike. A
distinguished member of the Confederation made to
ua the most appropriate eommentary on it by saying,
" he hoped the person who gave that advice will be the
first to act upon it." That would, indeed, be an effectual
means of getting rid of such a firebrand. In fact,
butchery, and ferocity, and severance of *society and
ranks, breathes through every line and word of the
present advocates of Republicanism and Revolution, and
no possible good or success could grow out of their prin-
ciples of action, even if Revolution was under other cir-
cumstances desirable or practicable. Is not union of
ranks one of the elements of success which any honest
Revolutionist would aim at ? Is not every project of
these Revolution-mongers subversive of union ? They
tell the people that they must keep the har-
vest corn in the country with the pike, as
the harvest belongs to the people. Is not this
the same Communism which caused the late
horrors in France ? If the corn belongs to the people
as of right, it does not belong to the farmer who has
raised it and enriched the soil by his labour
and capital so as to produce it. Will the farmer
aid a revolution founded on principles which will
give every man an equal right to the property
of his hard toil? Who will till the ground the year
after, when a revolution founded on such a principle
would divide in gavel its fruits ? What man who pos-
sesses and can earn will join a struggle which reduces
every man who possesses or will earn to the condition of
those who have nothing, and will not acquire ? Yet,
such a revolution is to be NV on by unanimity, forsooth—
a revolution which is to compensate Ireland in wealth
and prosperity for the emaciating effects of the Union.
No, no; if we are to have a revolution it is not to be
ffected by such men or such principles. Such a
revolution would be one, even in success, the domination
of every profligate, idler, and therefore pauper—against
every human being who possessed and would or could
earn. It would be a war against rank, education, mo-
rality, and religion. It is time for the good sense of
the community to interpose, and save liberty and repeal
from the incendiary doctrines of anarchy, murder, out-
rage, arid plunder, usurping the name of rationality and
freedom. We know it is very hard for men of humanity
to look upon the misery of the poor Irish people—the
total neglect of their condition—the flagrant pretences
and absurd sophistry upon which that neglect is de-
fended, without the blood boiling in the veins, and a sen-
timent which opens the soul to the suggestions of ven-
geance, net reason. Wretches or fanatics avail them-
selves too successfully of such a state of thing, and per-
vert the sentiments of humanity into doctrines which are
redolent of crime, But the best antidote to the infection
of such a disease is to arm ourselves with right and jus-
tice. Have we, let us seriously ask ourselves, no re-
medy for grievance, but in the insanity by which it
must be exasperated ? We say, we have. The remedy
is, the old tried doctrine of peaceful organization. It
we don't come to it now, we'll have to resort to it at
last. We do not blind ourselves to the fact, that if
England perseveres in her present misgovernment of Ire-
land, it must end in a revolution. Those eruptions in
the human, as well as in the terrestial world, are the ex-
ceptions to nature, not its rule. But there will be this
difference between a revolution preceded and prepared
by great and virtuous moral organization, as contrasted
with the doctrines of our present revolutionists. That,
if it must come, the people will be in the right—they will
have the sympathies of the world—the adhesion of all
ranks and orders of the nation—the struggle successful
and its success salutary. Let the Irish people now unite
and leaizue together in peaceful organization. In that
they still possess an element of strength, which, we are
convinced, will do all that revolution professes, without
its dangers. Misrule will dread more one mighty and
combined demonstration of opinion than all the rhapso-
dies with which our modern revolutionists help them to
perpetrate their despotism.

SUDDEN DEATH OF LIEUT. J. D. HASWELL—We
regret to state that Lieut. J. D. Haswell, brother to
the late Commander W. H. Haswell, of the Poictiers,
was yesterday morning found dead in bed. He was
very well on Thursday, and took a part in the public
business of the town. It is supposed that the gallant
gentleman died of an affection of the heart.
Mr. Mark Boyd had an interview yesterday with
her Leljesty'e Goma:Linkmen of &Daigratico.
