nominal very bad account is also given of the
sgnments made towards the close OF the last and the be-
ginning OF the present year to the United States, where
prices have fallen far below tho remuneratng point.

LONDON, May 25.-The House of Lords last night
having gone into committee the navigation BILL the
Earl of Peterborough moved amendment to the first
clause, the effect of which would be to postpone the
period al which the bill would come into operation until
the LIST of January, 1851 Earl Grey opposed the amend
mend which, on DIVISION was negatived by a majority
of 81 TO A. The Earl OF Waldegrave then moved an
amendment that foreign vessels should not receive Brit
ish registration, which, after short discussion also
negatved by majority OF 40 to 81. Lord Stanley again
called the attention of government to several points of
the question, which he said they seemed 10 have lost

the house on any OF them Clauses up to clause nine

With regard to the new Assembly, the Journal DIES
Debats publishes the following, which is said to be
most correct summary: Sixtyeisht departments have
named candidates, all OF whom belong to the moderate
opinion They amount to BATS fifteen departments have
named candidates belonging to the socialist opinion,
amounting to ll6 thirty departments have named can
ion l54 those of the socialist opinion lol three
departments not yet known, and will name eleven;
to these add the colonies and Agiers eleven total $50
The cabinet hangs loosely together, divisions existing
the policy of the expedition to Rome and this will
account, perhaps, for the numerous and contradictory
orders sent to General Oudinot As Yet, however no
change has been made in the ministry, beyond that of
filling up the vacancy caused by the resignation of M
Leon Faucher Overtures have been made to M Du-
aure and General Lamorciere to JOIN the government,
but it is said they have declined.
The HUNGARIAN auEsTIaN.-ln the Assembly, on
May %, Nj. prouyn stated that respected Hungary
the gravity of events had attracted the serious attention
of the government 1t had addressed remonstrances on
the subject to the cabinets of London, Vienna, Berlin,
and St Petersburg. He regretted his inability to give
the assembly further explanations NJ Jolly said, that
ii was impossible that the assembly could be satisfied
with the explanations given by the Minister of Foreign
Affairs The latter, he maintained should be compelled
to lay the table the replies returned to his communca
tons by the foreign cabinets. If those communications
proved without result, unfavorably received,
France should adopt energetic measures For his part,
he preferred the degradation of his country and the
destruction OF its liberties. He then called the gov
eminent to recognise and protect the Roman republic
instead of attacking it, to form alliance with nations
and break of all connexon with kings. In conclusion
he proposed the following order OF the day
1.-The National Assembly, considering that the manifesto
Of the Emperor OF Russia, and the treaties concluded be-
tween Russia Austria, and Prussia, attempt against
the pnc Pile of the public law proclaimed by the French
semby, protest. in the of the French people, against
that coalition which the liberties of Europe

Nj. Mangun who followed, observed that although the
speech OF NJ Jolly contained many sentiments he concur
red he should vote against II, because he believed that
expiring Assembly could not adopt important
oution General Cavaignac next and said that he
its adoption would be msnerpreted in the country
He had voted against the expedition, because he did
wish Rome to be attacked. Tie thought France should
respect the Roman republic without, however, being
