cident occurred to damp the satisfaction which
seemed to pervade all present. The trades went
in procession from the King's Park to Moray
Place, in order to express their thanks to the
Lord Provost for his courteous and conciliatory
conduct in sanctioning their procession—a cir-
cumstance which should be a lesson to all per-
sons in authority, not to thwart the lawful
and innocent wishes of those under their
jurisdiction.
" After the meeting which we have witnessed
to-day, we hope it will never again be said that
Scotchmen cannot meet in any number swithout
bloodshed ensuing : and we would further deduce
another important practical conclusion, that it
would be unwise to provoke by insult and con-
tumely, or to bid a blind and insolent defiance to
that moral power, of which the city of Edinburgh
yesterday witnessed a very unequivocal manifes-
tation."

After such a characteristic and highly flatter-
ing description, it would be presumptuous to
enlarge. The Edinburgh meeting was worthy
of Scotland and the proud cause of Reform.
We recommend the speeches and the temper
displayed throughout by the people, to the espe-
cial consideration of the minority of 175

In our Guildhall Police Report will be found
some important particulars respecting certain
tithe amounts claimed by the Rev. Mr. SA LUS-
BURY, non-resident Rector of St. Mary, Alder-
manbury, under circumstances of such peculiar
hardship that Mr. Alderman LUCA s, before whom
the case was brought, declared that he « should
grant a warrant with great reluctance, and would
much rather subscribe something towards making
up the amount." The poor man against whom
this warrant was brought, had, it seems, only
just been released from gaol, where he had been
confined for a considerable time for debt. He
had a wife and family to maintain—was
in great distress,—and had put this debt
of tithes on his schedule. The amount
is only three pounds, yet the non-resident par-
son, like a true son of the Church, seems to
think it far better in his own pocket, even
under all the circumstances of the case,
than in that of a indigent, hard. working
parishioner. This, we predict, is not the last
grievance of the sort that will be soon brought
before the public. The tithe system is pretty
nearly in as bad odour in England, as it is in
Ireland. The oppressive nature of the tax is
every where becoming intolerable.

The Paris Papers are still chiefly occupied
with the fatal prevalence of the cholera in that
unfortunate capital ; but we are happy to learn
that the virulence of the disease is daily diminish-
..
By way of relief to the alarm produced by
the cholera, we find in the Constitutionnel an
article which, if true, would soon set Europe by
the ears ; but which requires much more authority
before we can believe the statements set forth.
The following is a sample :

(From the Constitutionnel.)

The Austrian army is raised to the full war complement.
The roads are covered with military transports.
The Tyrol is crowded with troops, as also are Styria
and Carinthia.

Sixty or seventy thousand men are posted between the
Isonzo and the Adige, having, as an advanced guard, in
the legations from 15,000 to 18,000 men more.

The garrisons of Mantua, Peschiera, &c. are put on the
war footing.
Twenty thousand men are in Milan.
Seventy-five thousand to eighty thousand men are en-
campei and cantoned between Milan and the Tessin, and
a camp of 30,000 is formed between Sesto, Calenda, and
Besselora.

At Vienna every thing is prepared for war, concealed as
it may be from the French Embassy,—a war general, and
a crusade against the Revolution of July, for some months.
Prince Metternich is employed with a plan of definitive
arrangement and circumscription of France.
The bases are a third Restoration, not in favour of
Henry V., but Louis XIX., with France restricted to the
limits of the days of Louis XIII. Charles X. has renewed,
officially, with all the Courts, his abdication in favour of
the Duke of Angouleme, who, in his turn, has retracted
that which he made in favour of the Duke of Bordeaux.

Then follows a string of conjectures respect-
ing who shall be Regent, should the Duke
of BORDEAUX succeed ;-what part Russia
shall play---how Austria will act, and
many other suppositions, which would cer-
tainly have commanded more attention and
respect than they are present entitled to.
That the Northern Powers will never for-
give France for the revolution of July, we
all know, but having tolerated the Citizen
King so long, we do not think they will select
the present time as the most opportune for
carrying their hostile intentions into effect.

Mr. PARKES, it will be seen from his letter
in another part of The Sun, has denied the ac-
cusation lately brought against him by Mr. COB..
BETT, that he was indifferent to the mutilation
of the Reform Bill. It was scarcely necessary
that the Learned Gentleman should have taken
the trouble to refute so absurd a charge.

At a meeting of the Common Council of the
city of London, held yesterday, a petition was
agreed on to the House of Lords, requesting
their Lordships to pass the Reform Bill ; it was
also agreed on that the freedom of the city be
presented to Earl GREY and Lord ALTHORP,
for their meritorious exertions to pass the
measure.

Private Letters from the Havaunah, of the
`3oth March, bring accounts of the total defeat
of General SANTA ANNA, on the 3d March,
with the loss of 300 meu killed, 250 made pri-
soners, with 45 officers. The General made his
escape from the field of battle, and arrived at
Vera Cruz the next day : 2500 of the Govern-
ment troops have proceeded against Vera Cruz.

The following are extracts from Dutch and
German Papers received this morning :

THE HAGUE, APRIL 24.—Orders hive been issued to-
day by Government, by which the city of Cork and Cork
harbour, are to be considered as injected, and the remainder
of the county of Cork as suspected. Ships from thence
will therefore have to perform fifteen and seven days' qua-
rantine respectively.
Their Majesties the King and Queen will go to-morrow
to Amsterdam, where it seems they will make only a short
stay. Prince William Adalbert of Prussia will also go to
Amsterdam to-morrow. His Royal Highness Prince Fre-
