him, when a royali`a, seeing the
endeav,o.urrecl, stab tht "/...anger of his chief,
republican with his bayo-
net. 4.110 latter seized hold of the musket by the
iarrel, arid, turning it aside, laid the man dead at
the feet of the Count de Pourtales with a blow from
a hatchet. He then secured his prisoner, who had
been before this severely wounded in the head, and
would have been now killed by his capturer, had
not some one interposed and prevented it. M. de
Pourtales offered the man I,ooof. if he would allow
him to make his escape, but the volunteer rejected
the offer with disdain, and tearing off the decora-
tions which the count wore, threw them in his
face. Colonel Denzler at this moment came up,
and the count was removed to a place of safe cus-
tody. The prisoners, to the number of 500, are
confined in the church. Count de Pourtales
Georgier, and MM. de Rougemont, Tarrisse, de
Petitpierre de Wesdehlen, and Lardy, an advocate,
were arrested in a vineyard. Colonel de Meuron
was taken at Fribourg, and another of the counts
de Pourtales at Estavager. There were three
members of the family of Pourtales engaged in the
affair. One was killed, and the others are pri-
soners."
The New Gazette of Prussia attributes the late
outbreak at Neufchatel to the rivalry which exists
between the railroad company of Verriere, which
is supported by the Royalists, and the line of the
Jura, which is favoured by the Radicals. The
Belgian and German papers very deservedly ridi-
cule this absurd interpretation of the unsuccessful
royalist attempt.

MADAGASCAR.

The Moniteur de la k lotte contains the following
denial of the intentions attributed to the French
Government with respect to Madagascar :—" Seve-
ral foreign journals have published, apropos of a
deplorable event which has occurred at Bava.teube
on the western coast of Madagascar, comments
which are wanting in exactitude.' 'They have
spoken of the intention of the Government to send
an expedition against Madagascar, and have even

SPAIN.
MADRID, April 3.—lt will he an aide-de-camp
of the King who is to carry to Paris the insignia
of the Golden Fleece, destined for the Prince Im-
perial, and, the Due d'Albe will present them to
his Imperial Highness. The journey of Marshal
Espartero to Valladollid is put off. The Cortes:
have agreed to the first two articles of M. Cruz's
financial scheme ; the basis for the law relative to
the militia has been decided on ; workmen are ex-
cluded. The Madrid Gazette announces that the
Spanish Credit Mobilier Company is now consti-
tuted:

The 'Opinione of Turin of the 2d, in commenting
upon the peace, says :—" All the power of Europe
will prove insufficient to prevent the political re-
vival of Italy in due season. It is but a question
of time and of hard trial, to be undergone in order
to attain that end. The time depends on the will
of God, the wisdom and perseverance of the nation;
the hard trials both for Italy and Europe it belongs
to diplomatists to avoid."

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, April I.—lt was yesterday definitively
settled that the Theiss Company should have the
right to continue the railroad from Arad to Her-
mannstadt and Kronstadt, in Transylvania. The
part of the railway first to be completed will run
from Arad up to Debreczin, Miskolz, and Kaschau,
and for this purpose 40,000,0001 have been raised
in Germany and Austria.
It is whispered that some of the highest per-
sonages in this city are greatly disappointed that
Austria has not played a more prominent part at
Paris. The Emperor Napoleon paid such extreme
attention to Austria, that she fully expected to cast
England completely into the shade at the Paris
Conferences, but it seems that she soon had occa-
sion to observe that doers are more highly valued
than talkers.

Count Appony, the newly appointed Austrian
Minister to the British Court, left Saturday for
London, but he is not likely to reach his post for
some little time to come, a he has gone by way of
Munich, where he has business to settle.

RILSSIA.

The official report of the Emperor's trip to Fin-
land shows that he left St. Petersburg on the after-
noon of the 21st of March, stomped the following
morning in Friedrichshamm to inspect the corps of
Finland cadets and to visit a battery that had last
year been engaged with the English, and left again
the same day for Helsingfors, wherehe arrived early
on the morning of the 23d. At 10 o'clock the Em-
peror attended mass in the church of the palace
there, and then received the Senate, the officers of
the garrison, ac., on which occasion the citizens of
the town, according to Russian custom, brought
him, as a stranger just arrived, bread and salt.
The Emperor subsequently visited the Greek
and Lutheran churches, the University, the mili-
tary hospitals, and all the batteries on the right
flank of the line of defence.. The Emperor was ao-
companied by his brothers the Grand Dukes Con-
stantine, Nicholas, and Michael ; General Todtle-
ben did not accompany the Imperial party, as has
been reported, but remained babied in Crenstadt..
Whilst Grand Duke the Emperor was Chancellor of
the University of Finland, and on every opportu-
nity that presented itself showed a great amount of
good will towards theFinlanders,with whom he is very
popular ; the last instance of his peculiar "mo-
narchial goodwili" towards Finland. was his corn-
mand issued in last year that three posts as pages
in the Imperial service should be set apart for the
sons and descendants of such Findlanders as have
attained the highest military and civil rank. The
visit of the Emperor to Helsingfors was by no
means an unexpected one. The Emperor was ex-
pected back in St. Petersburg by the 30th, from
his Finland trip.

NEW WRIT.

A. new writ was ordered to be issued, on the motion
of Col. BOLDERO, for Chippenham, for the election of a
member in the room of Mr. J. Neeld, deceased.
Mr. HADFIELD moved for a return, showing the
amount of fees charged at the House of Commons upon
every private bill presented to the house from the ses-
sion of 1848 to 1855.

In reply to an hon member,
Sir B. FALL said a short time ago be received a com-
munication, stating that a new department should
be erected in Pall Mall, on the site of Buckingham
house. The hon. baronet said he would read a letter
he had addressed to the Lords of the Treasury, in which
he stated that he thought it would be more desirable
to have the whole of the public affairs concentrated in
one particular spot. He proposed on a future occasion
to move for a select committee to inquire into the
subject of obtaining a site for the construction of the
public offices now in Downing-street. If the
proposition was adopted he should give the
irmal notice and bring in a bill for the purpose.
The plans for the building be proposed would
not only be open to the architects of the United King-
dom, but of the world, in order that a building worthy
of this country might be obtained.
THE EXPORTATION OF IRON.
Mr. THORNELY asked the Secretary of the Trea-
•mny whether, a treaty of peace having been signed at
Paris, the bonds required to be gives at the Custom
[louses on the exportation of iron, and of certain other
ino.nufactured articles, might not now be dispensed with?
Mr. WILSON—At present he could not answer the
question t but if the hon. member would repeat it on
another (Illiening, he would give him a reply.

THE BALTIC FLEET.

'eu Baltic Fleet "no longer exists in official recog-
eitin ;
1,, it was merged into the home fleet yesterday, on
/1',„".,Le1l day Rear-Admiral Sir R. S. Dundas, K.C.8.,
,"I`l Rear-Admiral R. L. Baynes, C. 8., gave up their
`4Pective appellations of Commander-in-Chief and Se-
condoud in Command of the Baltic Fleet. The Captain of
the
said fleet, Ole Hon. F. T. Pelham, C. 8., changed his
Petition at the same time. The whole feet now at Port-
Uleeth is placed under the command in-chief of Vice-
.9tairal Sir George F. Seymour, K..C.8., the Port-
' 4timiral. The line-of-battle ships form one diviki mof
the fleet, whose orders are issued tl rough Rear-Admiral
like
Dundas by the Commander-in-Chief, and the frigates
4nd smaller vessels form another division, regulated in
manner under Rear-Admiral Baynes, these Adnii-
, leis becoming divisional Admirals only. Captain Pid-
ultra moves to the flagship Victory pro tem. Immedi-
ately after the review it is rumoured that 10,000 seamen
will be discharged from the it-et; these will consist, for
the most part, of the men drawn from the Coast Guard
at the outset of the war and such others as have served
fully and longer than the usual term of commission. It
is said that there will be a permanent Channel fleet of
• exercise and training, consisting of 12 sail of-the-line and
Adjuncts. •

Mr. J. Lacey, printer's idner, 45, Bartholomew-close,
situated about mid way between West Smithfield and

ance of a strong force of the fire brigade, and their active

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CALCUTTA, MAY 17.
The fifth opium sale of the season was held on the
12th inst., when 3,435 chests realised 3,223,225 Com-
pany's re., or two lacs leas than the April sale.
The Peninsular and Oriental C nnpany are making a
move in opposition to the private steamers in the Cuina
trade, and have now reduced their freights en opium
from 28 re. to 20 rs. per chest ; or, rather, they charge
22 re. and return 2 re. to the shipper (a very question
able practice on the part of so respectable a company) ;
at this rate they have secured about 1,500 chests for the
Pekin, to leave in a few days.
In our produce-market we have only to report a con-
tinued state of inactivity.

The advice of a rise in Manchester prices has made
importers of piece goods firm, and a deficiency of steam
tonnage available for the upper provinces curtails busi-
ness for that quarter, so that, although prospects con-
tinue good, the transactions since our last have not been
upon a very large scale. In twist the business has been
to a moderate extent, but with no improvement in value.
Metals still dull, and prices heavy. Salt ill fair request,
at full prices.

NEW COMPANIES.

Prospectuses were issued on Saturday last of three
new undertikings:—The Thames Steam-tug and Lighte- '
ra4e Company, with a capital of 200,0001.; the Indian
Mercantile Agency, with a capital of 1,000,0001.; and
the Socisst6 Parisienne for supplying English Coals to
Paris and the alat•itime Conveyance of Goods, with a
capital of 800,0001.
The object of the Thames Steam-tug and Lighterage
Company is to improve that p irtion of the goods traffic
.on the river which, notwithstanding its growth during
the last 30 years, is still conducted without the, aid of
steam and left dependent upon the tides. Light-draught
iron steamers are to be constructei for the rapid convey.
ance of suitable cargoes, and also tug-boats for the towage
of barge+ and craft. An agreement has been made with
Messrs. Keen and Blake to act as managers, and like-
wise for the tre.usfer of their business to..the company.
The intention is to commence with a comparatively small
fleet, and to increase it as may be found desirable. This
plan is the proper one in all projects of the kind, and,
while it is cede n that the undertaking is calculated to
prove of great importance to the trade, of the port of
London, there is good reason to hope that its pecuniary
results will be such as to lead to a constant expansion of ,
its operations.
The Indian Mercantile Agency proposes to assist in
meeting the demand for British capital to be perma-
nently employed in India. The mode of employment
contemplated is by adtiances upon goods and raw pro-
duce. At the same tiine agency bu-iness of all kinds
will be undertAken at the principal ports, and branches
will be opened at some of the chief marts of
the interior, which will facilitate the introduction
and sale of British manufactures and also the
purchase of native products. The question whe-
ther these functions can be performed more
safely and advantageously by a company than by private
individuals or firms is one on which differenCe of opinion
will prevail. Success must depend entirety on manage-
merit, and therefore the disposition of the public
,to sub-
' scribe must depend upon their faith in the prudence and.
experience of it+ directors and officers.
The SocitE
ro Parisienne seems to be supported by nor-
thern coalowners. Its object is to take advantage of
the modifications recently iniroclicnl by the French
Government in respect to the importation of coal by
establishing a fleet of screw propellers adapted to the
navigation of the Seine, which will proceed from the
coal ports of England direct to Paris. The fleet is to
consist of 20 vessels, to carry 800 tons each ; and it is
assumed that, in addition to the profits of their outward
freight, a considerable revenue will be derived from
return cargoes.
