DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF THE

were let out, it might be hard to restrain them.
Lord DENMAN said that Mr. Justice Patteson
had in his charge to the grand jury to-day
explained to them the law on the subject.
Speeches inciting to the commission of felony
constituted a grievous misdemeanour, and ought
to be severely punished ; and it was a most questionable
proceeding on the part of those desirous of further re-
form to agitate the people at this crisis. He was an
old reformer, but he considered that those who agitated
the public mind at this crisis were undoing all reform.
London, England, 1848-06-02

SPAIN.

Lord STANLEY rose to call the attention of the
House to the papers which had been laid upon ale table
on the subject of the differences with Spain. He
complained of the omission of the statement made
by the Government of Spain of the reasons which
had induced them to adopt the step of sending to
the British Ambassador his passports. He wished
to know whether any communication had been
received from the Spanish Government, stating the
grounds of the expulsion of Sir H. Bulwer, and if such
communication would be laid before the House.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that since the
papers had been laid before the House some explanation
had been received through the only legitimate channel
through it could be received, of the grounds
on which the Spanish Government had acted,
that explanation was anything but satisfactory, and the
correspondence was not yet closed; but the moment the
Spanish Government had afforded all the explanations
that could be afforded no time would be lost in bringing
them before the House, and whenever those papers
came under discussion, he trusted be should satisfy their
Lordships that no papers had been improperly omitted
from the papers laid before their Lordships.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented certain
papers relating to the loans advanced to the Irish Land-

We read in the Courier de Constantinople of the
13th The sending of two Imperial Commis-
sioners into the principalities of Moldavia and Walla-
chia has just been decided at a Council of Ministers
held at the Sublime Porte. This measure was taken
in consequence of General DUUAMEL being sent as
Russian Commissioner into the same principalities.
We are unacquainted with the powers given to these
Commissioners, but are told that they take with them
firmans addressed to the Princes, approving of their
conduct during the late disturbances at Yassi and
Bukarest, and enjoining them to use every possible
means for maintaining order and tranquillity in their

provinces:'

After a few words from Mr. Hudson, Sir G. Grey,
Mr. Henley, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Sir
W. Jolliffe (who objected to the constitution of the Me-
tropolitan Police Force),
Mr. HUDSON moved that the debate should ho ad-
jourrnd ; but on an appeal from Sir G. GREY withdrew
his motion, and the Bill was read a second time.
HIGHWAYS BILL.
Sir G. GREY moved for leave to bring in a Bill to
amend the laws relating to highways in England and
Wales. He described it as supplementary to an Act
passed in the last Imssion.
In answer to a question from Sir W. JOLLIFFE,
Sir G. GREY said the provisions of the Bill did not
extend to turnpike trusts, hut might be made applicable
to them by a subsequent Act. It was not the intention
of the Government to bring in any general measure this
session relating to turnpike trusts.
Colonel SII3THORP complained of the hardship
which railways had inflicted on those interested in turn-
pike trusts, whoso capital, to the extent of thirteen mil-
lions, had been destroyed.
Mr. FREWEN recommended Government to take
the management of highways in Ireland as the basis of
their legislation.
Leave was then given to bring in the Bill.
The House adjourned at a Quarter past One.

AUSTRIA.

The directors of the Austrian Bank held, on the
Ist of April, an extraordinary meeting, the result of
which, says the Cologne Gazette, will be the publica-
tion of a decree which will prohibit the exportation of
gold, silver, and other precious metals. This measure,
it is feared, will be no remedy for the financial crisis,
which has become aggravated to an alarming extent.
The tradesmen of Vienna held a meeting, in which
they resolved to address a petition to Government, for
obtaining an advance of three millions of florins, for
the foundation of a comptoir d'escompte.
The Archduke Palatine, and the two Hungarian
Ministers who had accompanied him to Vienna, left
this latter place on the 30th of March, fur Presburg.
The Augsburg Gazette affirms that the conflicts
with the Diet of Hungary are arranged, and the
appointment of several Hungarian Ministers confirmed
by the EMPEROR.
The Wiener Zeitung, of the 2d April, contains a
statement respecting the position just assumed by the
King of SARDINIA in reference to recent events which
have taken place in the kingdoms of. Lombardo-
Venice. It appears from an official note which the
Sardinian Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs ad-
dressed, on the Bth of February last year, to the
Imperial Ambassador at Turin, in which he informed
him that the KING intended to give his states
a constitution, that his MAJESTY reiterated his
assurances to the Emperor of AUSTRIA that his
policy would in future, as hitherto, be based upon
the solemn maintenance of treaties, and that he che-
rished the lively hope that the co-operation of his
subjects in the difficult task of domestic administra-
tion, far from endangering the amicable relations
with foreign powers, would contribute to consolidate
the bonds of friendship which had hitherto subsisted
between the two states, and which the KING
fondly flattered himself would from this moment be
more closely cemented. The official declaration of
the Sardinian Government, on various occasions, bore
the impress of these amicable sentiments.

was to obtain the liberation of three British subjects
who had been taken prisoners.
MEXICO

Mr. URQUHART asked whether her Majesty's
Government had taken measures to secure the rights of
British bondholders in Mexico, in the event of a cession
of territory to the United States.
Lord PALMERSTON said that the claims of foreign
creditors would not be at all affected by the alienation
of any part of the territory of Mexico, and that such a
step could not at all affect the claims of the creditors
upon the public revenue of the country.
BELGIUM.
Mr. URQUHART wished to know whether her Ma-
jesty's Government had entered into guarantee of the
Crown of Belgium, or in any way have compromised
themselves in engagements to maintain, in consequence
of recent events on the Continent, the existing state of
things?
Lord PALMERSTON said that the Government had
entered into no new treaties upon the subject of the
relations of any of the Continental Powers. The House
was in possession of the treaties of 1831 and 1839,
and the subject of those treaties between France, Aus-
tria, Russia, Prussia, and Great Britain, with respect
to Belgium, were known to those who were acquainted
with those treaties.--(Laughter.)

Russia is considered inevitable. Mieroslawski is every-
where received with enthusiasm by immense crowds.
The Germans residing in the Duchy of Posen have
just issued the following appeal to the people of
Germany :
" Thousands of your German brethren in the pro-
vince of Posen rejoice with you at the great achievements
of these days, but they did not understand the words of
those of your leaders who would consign those
thousands of their brethren, the inhabitants of
all German districts to: the tender mercies of the Poles.
Ye who are so active in word and deed for cur German

Posen,lefsorw and especially those among us, who

inhabit entirely German frontier districts, deserve to be
be repudiated by you l Amid your great enthusiasm for
the Poles do not overlook your own brethren; be sober
and you will become just towards us, and just towards
yourselves. Germany extends wherever the German
language is spoken, and its tones ascend in
praise to God. Hitherto political boundaries
have been fixed by the sword,' these times
it is to be hoped are gone by. The inhabitants of the
German frontier districts of the province of Posen are
already haste tong to lay at the feet of the throne their
declarations that they are Germans by birth, language,
customs, education, and sentiments, that they are resolved
0 remain Gerrnsr.s, and consequently desire to he more
closely united with their fatherland. This declaration
we will maintain by every lawful m, thod. We Kill not be
governed by the Poles, whose language is foreign to us.
The father f the inhabitants of the German
frontier, Voistricts, fought on your side, German
brethren, on the battle fields of 1813 1815, and like
You have shed their blood for the German cause.
you wil• be acting the part of traitors, if you ,acrifiee us.
No; and again we say So! You cannot, you dare not,
do this. Ye enthusiasts for the Poles, observe all
things, show that you have German feeling, that you
have a heart for your German brethren in the province of
Posen. It you are resolved to let the Poles be independent,
confine them to the Polish districts, their own home, and
add to Germany that which belongs to Germany by
language and sentiment, and declare itself for Germany,
ye who are striving for freed. en with all its consequences."

POLAND.

A letter from Schildberg, in Posen, dated the 30th
ult., states on that night and preceding nights the sky
was reddened by the glare of conflagrations. Coun-
try seats and castles were burned down by the rioters
who pretend to regenerate Poland. The town itself
is filled v,ith fugitive gentry, many of whom had
saved nothing beyond their lives. Couriers had been
sent to Breslau, Alielitsch, and Wartenberg to call for
military assistance, for an attack on the town of
Schildberg was daily expected. The bands of
scythemen are still increasing. Recruiting parties
are everywhere busy enlisting peasants, to whom they
offer a small bounty, and, probably, a brilliant pros-
pect of plunder.

WARSAW, MARCH 31.—The military Governor of
Warsaw has issued a proclamation, stating that although
perfect quiet has hitherto prevailed in Warsaw, the Go-
vernment however decrees it necessary to take all proven-.
tire measures for the purpose of averting any disturbance
that might be created by evil-minded persons, and state
that it any alarms should take place, all persons who are
in the street should instantly return to their respective
homes, the house-door to be itnnaedi.t,ly locked, and no
person, except those on duty, should go out till order
was re-established. All persona found in the street
will be arrested ; and should shot be fired
from any dwelling, the proprietor and occupier
shall be deemed responsible to the judicial authorities.—

GRAND DUCHY OF POSEN.—A letter from Posen, in the
Augsburg Gazette, says,—" We are at the very mouth of a
volcano, which may break forth at any moment. The
Poles have become so bold that they have commenced
enrolling the troops by giving them money, and making
f.hem take the oath. Complete anarchy prevails in all
the minor districts and in the country. We know that
the Russian forces in Poland exceed 500,000 men,
010 are stationed for the most part along
(he Russian frontiers. An encampment of 60,000 men
is at this moment being formed near the little City of
,Slesser, about a mile from the frontier. War with

CRIMINAL COURT:--(THIS DAY.

OLD COUIcT-.
FORGERY.—Abraham Katz, a I'cle, aged 49, described
in the calendar as a merchant, was indicted for forging
an acceptance to a hill of exchange for 1601., with the
intention of defrauding M,ssre. Le,verrc,re and Turner,
pawn broker-, To•tenliiiru-court-road. It appeared from
the evidence that a person named Bacilli, was desirous
to raise some money; he communicated his wish to o
person named Paulton, who said he could easily get the
acceptance of these persons to a bill for 1601., at a dis-
count of ten per cent., and a bonus to himself of 71.
With this view he introduced the prisoner t•i Ilitchin.
and be took the bill away her the purpose of getting it
accepted. lie subsequently brought it back with the
acceptance of Measis. Livermoie and Turner, which it
appeared had been torged.
'the prisoner stated, in his defence, that he gave the
bid to a person flawed Marcus, who undertook to get
bills accepted fur h►m.
The evidence did not bring home the offence of for-
gery to the prisoner, and the jar) Acquitted him.

ROME

GIOBEETI had been admitted to a private interview
with his Housssa, with whom he remained closeted
full two hours. On coming from the audience—on the
very threshold of the palace of the Quirinal—VlNCENZO
GIOBERTL pronounced these words in a loud voice to the
assembled roultitude—" Romans ! I have this mo-
ment parted from the Sovereign PONTIFF, and I de-
clare to you I have found him to be a greater man
than I had imagined, although I have always re-
garded him with enthusiasm. As to his being an
Italian in the very bottom of his heart, he is mere
Italian than myself—if you think that can be pos-
sible."

A copy of the great oration delivered to the
Romans by GIOBERTI, and printed in the Eternal
City on the 27th of May, has just reached our hands.
A want of space will alone retard the time for
publishing this extraordinary allocution in our
columns. We shall, however, lay before our readers
a translation of GIOBERTfS speech, either to-morrow
or on Wedneiday.'

Two iaipoitant subjects last week occupied the

proposed abolition of the Legion of Honour, and the

Marriage reeitires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and Its true source is every instance disclosed, in how many could
it he traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
polntmeuts. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused. the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and consenuence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of raiser), to the human frame,
han any other to which it is sabiect.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation •f the health
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
n early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
'requently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the roach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of
:isease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
neciical man who can show by hi., posse sion of the requisite legal
malifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
ional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
!.ertify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
manatee for his professional experienee, which has reference almost
.olely to the treatment of these diseases.

THE METROPOLIS.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY inquired
whether any coiiiiinnications from Her Majesty's
Naples,
representatives at the Courts of Rome, and
Florence, with respect to the extraordinary circum-
stance of the troops of those cou tries having entered
Austria and Commenced war without any previous
intimation of their intentionsin violation of
existing treaties, had been receivedand
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE did not wish to
express any opinion ,on .these matters, which might be
construed into that of the (Tinian of Government.i
whiche
There were no treaties in existencemade it
to imperative on. the Government of this Country
in-
terfere, and he did not think it would be
advisable,
.undc:r these circumstances, to lay any information
which the Government had received on the subject On
the table.
Lord BROUGHAM availed himself of the
opportunity to -ci..lllthe attention of their Lordships,
to the fact that ttrinillt sfffl nimhtty- prevailed in the
me.tropoiis and in' other-parts of the country. The.
apparent t.biect of the !awless persons who took on
in these unlawful assemblages. was to wear out the
police and other authorities; and it was, therefore,
incumbent upon .the Government to adopt vigilant
measures to preserve the public peace, and to pre-
vent these lawless persons from setting the law at
naught longer.
The Marquis" Of LANSDOWNE said, in the
event of the measures which the Government had
adopted proving insufficient to quell the disturbances
to which the Noble and Learned Lord had adverted,
the,Government would not hesitate to come to Par-
liament to seek more ample powers than those which
they possessed under the existing laws.—(Cheers.)
