tenantry on the estate which constituted a champ de
battaille, on which the internecine conflict was
fiercely waged.

In the present case the occupiers had three masters
—first, the Rev. Mr. HAMILTON, to whom the mur-
dered gentleman, Mr. MANLEVERER, was agent; next
a Mr. JONES, whose interest had passed into the
hands of proverbially the wont possible landlord—
the Receiver of the Court of Chancery ; and, thirdly,
a Mr. TIPPING, whose estate in the premises was
about to be submitted to public competition through
the agency of the Commissioners tor the Sale of
' Encumbered Estates. Each of these parties collected
their rents separately, and it was by no means unusual
to see three sets of processes instituted and a treble
set of costs—a penalty which the law formerly affixed
to certain species of litigation which it was intended
to check. But even this was not the most
formidable part of the transaction, although the
original debt has frequently quadrupled in these mul-
tiplied proceedings. The bailiffs of the different
owners zealously endeavoured to " levy the decrees''
placed in their hands for execution, so as to have the
first seizure--an exciting and friendly contest, in
which the collectors of poor-rates and county cess
energetically participated. It is impossible, therefore,
to conceive a situation more desperate than that of
the miserable peasantry, who saw their all periodi-
cally swept off under the colour and sanction of the
law of the land.

But even these circumstances, heart-rending as
they were, did not exhibit the full extent of the
grievance on these ill-fated people. They had still
roofs to shelter them, and patches of land on which to
grow potatoes. But a " middle-man," that name
pregnant with evil to Ireland, had died, and several
hundred ejectments had been sued out to drive the
miserable wretches from house and home. The
"cup of misery was thus filled to overflowing."
This was the " last straw that broke the back of the
camel." The murder of Mr. MANLEVERER was then
decided on, not so much from a feeling of vengeance
against himself personally, as a means of arresting
the proceedings for a time. No object can possibly
justify the destruction of human life, or the shedding
of the blood of a fellow-creature. We do not, there-
fore, venture to defend the assassins, or extenuate
their fearful crime ; but is it not palpable that the
outrage was directly occasioned by the tenure by
which the various holdings were enjoyed, and that
it was chiefly, if not altogether, ascribable to the ex-
isting state of the law—under what one of the most
learned and amiable Judges on the Irish bench well
designated " a landlord's code ?"

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

'SVe have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Petrie repeats the rumour which we men-
tioned yesterday of the arrival in Paris of a mes-
senger from St. Petersburgb, with letters of recall
from the Emperor of RUSSIA to Baron BRUNOW, the
Russian Minister in London, to be forwarded or not,
as may seem right to the Russian Minister in Paris.
It is said that the Russian Minister in Paris has de-
termined that it is not expedient to forward the letters
of recall.
The Opinion Publigue announces that the Marquis
of NORMANDY will be present at the next Levee of
the PRESIDENT of the Republic ; and from this cir-
cumstance it concludes that the difference with Eng-
land is, if not settled, at least on the paint of settle-
ment.

opposition Members abstained from voting, on
the ground that it was incompetent to the Assembly

stitution.

•
Immediately after the adjournment of the debate,
and in consequence of an angry personal discussion,
two of the representatives, M. FRANCISQUE BOUVET
and M. ROGER DU NORD, fought a duel with pistols.
After the principals had exchanged shots without
effect, the seconds declared that their honour was aa.
tisfied. MM. PASCAL and DurftAT attended M.
BOUVET, and MM. BERAU and MATHIEU DR LA
REDORTE acted as friends to M. ROGER. M. Flux-
cactus BOUVET is one of the most distinguished and
zealous members of the Peace Society, who deny
that hostilities can be justified under any pretext.
The conduct of M. BERRTER and the other Legi-
timatist leaders (from whom MM. DR LAROCHEJAC-
QUELIN and VEZIN have' separated themselves), in
joining M. Timms and the Orleanist Burgraves,
has disgusted their supporters. The Gazette de
France and the Opinion Publique declare that seven-
eighths of the Legitimatists disapprove of the conduct
of, the intriguer!, meaning thereby MM. BBRRTER,
DE ST. PRIEST, BECHARD, DE LARCY, &C.
The Presse thus comments on the treason to the
cause of universal suffrage of which M. BERRYER
has been guilty
" The Legitimatist party stood engaged by its acts, by
its precedents.. by its manifestoes, by its dignity, and by
its interest. For eighteen years it had been protest.
ing against what is called the Parliamentary usurpa-
tion of the 7th of August. The tribune and the press
have alike resounded with its appeals to the nation. It
had formed congresses, signed petitions, and organised
banquets for electoral reform. It had recognised
and proclaimed_ the universality and inviolability 1

and at one o'clock, A.M. on Thursday, the 23d inst.,
after a gallant but ineffectual struggle, this gentle-
man, a magistrate of an adjoining county, and an
agent over extensive estates, was brutally butchered,
"his head being beaten to pieces with heavy stones,
and his blood and brains scattered about the public
road."

The circumstances of the entire transaction
proved that the assassins did not anticipate
any interference on the part of the peasan-
try, that they calculated upon being permitted
to carry their horrible determination into
easy execution, and upon making their escape without
hindrance or obstruction, or without being exposed
to the observation of witnesses who would depose to
their guilt in the face of the country. In other
words, they believed that the inhabitants of the sur-
rounding district were prepared to become accessories
after the fact to the highest crime known to the law,
and to assist in defeating the ends of justice by
sheltering and concealing the criminals from the
pursuit that would inevitably be instituted
by the constabulary ; and they were not greatly
mistaken. There was no pursuit of the murderers
except by the police, and there was an evident indif-
ference and want of sympathy on the part of the
tenantry of the estate over which Mr. MANLETSRER
was one of the agents, which showed that such an
event had been anticipated, and generally known
throughout the locality.
The unfortunate gentleman is described as hav-
ing been a man of " enlightened and cultivated
mind, of a retiring and amiable disposition,
and, with one sad exception, generous and
liberal to those with whom he had intercourse."
That exception, however, proved fatal to him.
Through the unfortunate position of the property
over which he was, as we have stated, one of the
agents, he was compelled, if desirous of obtaining
any portion of the rents for his principal, to act with
the greatest harshness towards the unfortunate oc-
cupants, who were harassed by the concurrent de-
mands of their three landlord!, who had a race to try
which could first seize upon the goods of their
debtors, and who for the attainment of that object
had recourse to legal proceedings whenever an op-
portunity arose.
There is, perhaps, no part of the Irish system of
landlord and tenant more objectionable than that
which creates a number of landlords having equal
rights, and each entitled to sue the occupants for
certain proportions of the rent. It is, if possible,
more injudicious than the " Rundale " tenure.
By the latter system, every individual tenant is made
responsible in person and property fur the entire rent,
payable out of, and the covenants entered into,
with respect to the lands. The industrious
and thrifty are thus made liable for the
default of the idle and improvident. The man who
would be willing to improve his position is deterred
by the fear of forfeiting the fruits of his own in-
dustry, in consequence of the negligence and apathy
of his partner. The MEZENTIAN Union thus leads to
the greatest mischief, and holds out a direct premium
to sloth and carelessness in the cultivation of the soil.
But still the unfortunate people are subject to but a
single despot, and the owners will generally show
indulgence to those who are prepared with
their own proportion of the rent. He at
least affords them the boon claimed by OV:l7
from the Cyclop, and they are generally the "last
to be devoured." But it is different where they are
placed under a " triumvirate," when each of the
throe tyrants are struggling to secure the full satis-
faction of his own demands, utterly careless as to the
interests of his "coparceners," or of the unfortunate

of political rights. It had placed the fate of its proper
principle upon the arbitrage of the sovereignty of the
people in declaring that the Due do Bordeaux could
never acquire the Crown but by the fr,e investiture of
France. In fine, it had hailed the; revolution of
February as the victory of national legitimacy. On the
24th February, 1848, at the moment when the dynastic
question was hanging uncertain between the barricades
and the invaded Assembly—at the moment when M. Le-
dru Rollin was destroying the pity that was rising in all
hearts at the sight of a mother betwee❑ her two chil-
dren—a voice was heard to rise from the right benches,
crying out to the revolutionary tribune—' Conclude !
conclude ! a Provisional Government, and a Convoca-
tion of the people.' The voice WAS that of M. Berryer."
The National has the following under the head of
" Double Conspiracy :"
" In order to carry into execution their plans of coun-
ter-revolution, the saviours of society are anxious to
bring about the state of siege, or, in other words, the
suppression of the liberty of the press and all the other
liberties which remain to us. Without erneutt!s
this is a difficult task for them to accomplish,
and enitsuies fail them. Every morning for the last few
days the President of the Republic receives a report, in
which a personage experienced in police trickeries
points out the march and progress of a vast civil and
military conspiracy, which embraces Paris and the de•
partments, and threatens to swallow up in the same gulf
the presidency, religion, family ties, and property. The
saviours, the monks in expectation do not doubt but
that the President will allow himself to be taken
in this machination, and they hope to see at an early day
one of his Ministers come forward and declare that
society is in peril, and that the declaration of the state of
siege is the only means of safety for it. They well know
what the result of such a declaration would be. The
country would pass into the hands of a dictatorship,
which certainly would not be exercised by M. Louis Bo-
naparte. The name of the dictators, of the triumvirs, is a
mystery, for no one, except, doubtless, for the President.
The details of this conspiracy are precise, and every
particular is carefully set forth in the report. The
principal character in the drama is given to General
Cavaignac—a great conspirator, as is well known! We
know what M. Louis Bonaparte thinks of these revelations
with which he is thus every day besieged, but if we
might give him a word of advice, we would tell him that
the danger is not where it is pointed out to him to exist.
He has only to open his eyes to discover where it is.
There is a conspiracy which is carried on in open day;
it proclaims loudly its object, which is the restoration of
the Bourbons; its means are the ruin of the Republic,
the destruction of all liberties and civil war. This ♦ast
conspiracy is a plagiarism of the intrigue which pre-
pared the 18th Brumaire, but this time, instead of the
exaltation of a Bonaparte, tho question is the overthrow
of him who is in power."
The reactionary journals are now calling out for a
stringent law of the press ; among other suggestions,
they propose that the authorities should have the
power of declaring any writer unworthy to write, in
which case any editor, publisher,•printer, proprietor, or
manager, accepting or publishing any article, book,
pamphlet, romance or drama, of or fur the writer so
stigmatised, shall be liable to severe punishment.
An association of operative weavers, organized ac-
cording to the plan of M. Louts BLANC (we believe
organized by himself), and to which funds were voted
by the Constituent Assembly, have, after giving the
plan a trial for two years, dissolved by mutual consent,
being eonvinced that the plan is utterly impracti-
cable.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm,
and prices of all descriptions were id. per lb. higher.
The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales, of which
500 American were taken for export, and 1,000 Egyp-
tian, 1,000 American, and 500 Surat on speculation. The
sales comprised 6,000 American, 250 Pernam and Ma-
ranham, at 7D to 74 d ; 1,500 Egyptian, at ;id to 7;4'd;
and 1,500 Surat, at sid to 6d per lb.—Railway Shares
were firm, and at rather higher quotations.
The Corn-market is dull to-day.
In the Colonial Produce markets this week a steady-
business has been transacted, and prices are better sup-
ported. Sugar has been freely purchased, and holders of
coffee are looking for higher rates. Rice has been rather
inactive. Spices have been quiet, Indigo has been
taken moderately, and Cotton is id. per lb. dearer.
Accounts of Tuesday from Hamburgh give the rate of
exchange on London at 13 81. Coffee was i❑ demand,
and in Grain, considering the unfavourable advices from
England, there was a very fair business doing. The
weather was highly auspicious.
St. Petersburgh letters of late date notice the arrival
of 150 ships, but business was not active.
At Amsterdam on the 29th inst. there was a tolerably
animated business. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents
were 56 1 16. The health of the Prince Maurice was
in a dangerous condition.
The Savings Bank Bill is exciting great interest in
the provinces, and the trustees of the Birmingham Bank,
with 347.000 i. of deposits, have sent a petition to Par-
liament from which the following are extracts of in-
terest:—
" While your petitioners approve of that Bill, in so far
as it is intended to interpose Government security for
the savings of the industrious classes, they arc of opi-
nion that, in order to remove the present di'trust, and to
afford encouragement to those classes still to resort to
savings banks, it is necessary that the security to be given
should be expressly declared, and not left to inference only;
and that, therefore, the Bill should provide that the
Government shall hold itself responsible for all moneys
paid in by depositors at the office of the savings bank
during the regular and appointed hours of business.
"Your petitioners aro of opinion that a clause should
be introduced into the said Bill to prohibit the opening
of the savings bank, or the transaction of any business
connected therewith, except in the presence of one or
more of the trustees or managers, and under his or their
direction or control.
"In considering the 11th, 16tb, and 17th clauses of
the proposed Bill, limiting the gross amount of de-
posits to 100/., and the interest payable to savings
banks to 31., while the interest to b 3 paid to
depositors is not to exceed the sum of 2/. 155.,
your petitioners are disposed to give a qualified assent
only to these provisions. Your petitioners find in their
own bank, that whilst the number of depositors, whose
accounts are 100/. and upwards, is only 3 1.3 d per cent.,
yet the proportionate amount of the funds held by such
depositors is no less than 264 per cent. of the
whole deposits of the bank. It is manifest,
therefore, that if these larger accounts are with-
drawn, the diminution in the income of the
bank, and its means of defraying the necessary
expenses of the establishment, will be very serious. In
order, therefore, to provide against the evils of this re-
duction,your petitioners are of opinion that the amount of
interest to be hereafter allowed to savings banks, under
the 16th section of the Bill, should be 3/. 29. 6d.,
whilst the interest to be paid to depositors
should at the same time be fixed in the 17th,
section at 2/. 15s. per cent, per annum; as your petition-
ers are decidedly of opinion that any further reduction
of interest to that class of persons would tend to increase
their liability to the temptation of withdrawing their
money from savings banks, and placing it in more at-
tractive, but frequently hazardous investments.
By these means a sum of 7s. 6d. per cent.
would be secured to the trustees as a fund for
defraying the annual expenses of the bank, instead of
55., as at present, but this increase will bo found abso-
lutely necessary to meet the increased expenses of the
bank, as well as the diminished income consequent on
the various alterations proposed by this Bill. Your
petitioners are also strongly confirmed in these
opinions, as they find that while the annual average
loss to the Government in respect to savings banks has,
for the six years ending November, 1849, amounted to
24,000/. only, the sum that would be produced by the
reduction of the rate of interest to 31., as proposed by
the Bill, would be 70,000/.; the reduction of the in-
terest now paid to savings banks to 31. 2s. 6d. only, as
before suggested, would therefore be more than
sufficient to meet the present loss. But without the
adoption of some provision to the effect now
proposed, your petitioners are of opinion that the
limitation of deposits to 100/. would be equally impolitic
and injurious and would deprive your petitionere,:among
other savings banks, of the means of defraying the
ordinary expense of carrying on the business of the
institution."

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for our
market coastwise have not exceeded 1,040 quarters, a'-
most wholly from Essex and Kent. By land carriage
they have been trifling. The show of samples to•day
was small; nevertheless, owing to the continued imports
from abroad, the absence of the principal dealers, and
the favourable accounts respecting the growing crops,
the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce
ruled heavy, and to effect sales rather lower rates must
have been accepted. From abroad, 9,330 quarters of
Wheat have come to hand. Selected parcels were
mostly held at full rates of currency. In the middlieg
and inferior kinds so little was doing that prices were
almost nominal. No English Barley was at market, and
the supply of foreign was trifling. All kinds moved off
slowly at barely late rates. The sale for Malt was very
inactive, but we have no change to note in value. In
Oats comparatively little business was transacted. Damp
parcels were the turn lower. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn,
and Flour, were very dull.
