He CtJt rue qm ' ct , dignified glance about , and recognising s _jfrieno , _rrho called ont ' Mitchel , ' bowed and _shoek ttEDS witkhita , He was then assisted into the van , _seccffipanitd by four or Sre _injpectors ef police . The floor was immedutely banged to , and tbe cortege moved _for * BTi fit a double quick trot np _Bolton-street _, and times by tte Circular-Toad to the Korth Wall , where tie _Sheerwater gov eminent steamer was ljing in readiness . Mr Mitchel having been placed oa board , the _f . eamer set sail for Spike Island , as is supposed , from whence the martyred Mitchel will be conveyed toXorfelk Hand .

    Spike Island , where Mr Mitchel i 3 now located , is 5 convict prison near Cove , recently established as a permanent depot for pe _« on 3 sentenced to seven _veara _ftSB ' _-poTtation _, who are employed at stone breaking , acd in various avocations connected with theextension efthe buildings , and the improvement ofthe _esfeblshment .

A subscription has been already set on foot for the Fife asd children of Mr John Mitchel . The lady is a niece of Sir William Terrier , M . P . for the county of Armagh , and was married at the early age of fifteen years- _ Although still youthful she is the mother of four children , the eldest of whom is nine years old . Among the contributors to the subscription are Mr R . O'Gorman , sen ., for £ 50 ; MrT . F . Meagher , £ 50 ; Mr W . _O'Hara , £ 58 . Up to Friday night the sum collected amounted to neariv £ 400 . "

    E 1 _ZURE AND _SUPPRESSION OF THE 'UNITED

    IRISHMAN . ' At a few minutes to post boar a body of policemen , headed by aa inspector , marched up to the office of the _Usited iRisHmx and took possession of all the property znd effects therein . The large quantities of tie paper made up in parcels for the _provinciaJagent _? , ss well as the copies directed to the regular subscribers , were carried oft by the police . This is regarded as a very arbitrary proceeding on the part of the authorities . Subsequently the property was replaced . ItS _' _-pears that Mr Mitchel , some days before Ms

    conviction , had made a deed of sale of his effects , and of tbe copyright of the _Usiied Ikishuas , to two leading . members of the Confederation—Mr John Martin , of Loughcrne , and the Rev . John Kenyon , late parish priest of Templederry , both of whom , it i 3 stated , intend to continue the publication ef the journal , in the same spirit in which it has heretofore been conducted . Mr Devin Reilly , it is said , is also a part proprietor . On the production of this deed of sale , the persons acting for the Crown suspended tbe execution ofthe sequestration _.

    STATE OF DUBLIN . The ' force' mustered _strong on Friday night . About seven o ' clock , divisions marched from the different station-h 9 use 3 , and took up their positions in the precincts of Newgate . This attracted an _unasnil number of idle boys , and elicited frem them load shouts . At length some stones were thrown , doubtless by some mischievous urchin , and one constable was cat _usder tfce eye , another on the forehead , and others had their hats broken . The police were ordered into rank , and to charge the _Btreets , wbich they did _several timts . In one of the charges Mr Drecnan _, Mr _Divin Reilly , Mr William Mitchel , 3 _cd Mr Irwin ( an elderly gentleman ) , who were returning from Newgate after visiting Mr Mitchel , were _knocked down . Mr Reihy received a blow of a baton on the arm , which hurt him considerably , and Mr Irwin got rather a severe cut on the back of his head . Mr Mitchel was also cut on the back of the

    head , but not seriously . The three gentlemen were taken into the medical establishment of Mr Burke , of _GapeJ-streef , where they received such _aftentiens ss their cases required , and when their wounds were _dressed they proceeded to their homes . This was tie only casualty we heard of during the night . At twelve o ' clock the streets were perfectly tranquil . The police remained about Green-street up to a late hour . There Were upwards of fifty constabulary and metropolitan police stationed inside Newgate , with s . proportionate amount of arms and amaumtien . The council of the Irish Confederation met _atD'Olierstreet immediately after the verdict was announced , snd the several _club 3 in connexion with that body held meetings during the evening , which were _attecded hy the leading _metrnVrs oi the Confederates . Mr Duffy . Mr Meagher , Mr Dillon , Mr Pigctt , & 2 ., visited many of the club 3 in succession , and addressed the Confederates oa the result of the day's proceedings . _ _

    Dibus , May 23 . —The overwhelming excitement created by the extraordinary scenes enacted yesterday , unlike ordinary ebullitions of popular feeling , remains unabated ; and ii would be bnt shirking the troth to conceal the fact that , beyond his own friends aid partisans , there prevails no small amount of sympathy for Mr Mitchel . The precautions taken yesterday to prevent any rash attempt at rescue en the way to tbe place of embarkation were most effective and judiciou 3 . There wss however , some rioting at Seville-place , on tbe >' orth Strand , where the police were assailed by a mob , the chief leaders of which were W 6 men . One _amazon wss conspicuous by her daring . She burled _stCEes and brickbats with unerring aha at ihe heads

    of the constabulary , cursing Instily the cowardice of tie men of Dublin in leaving the fightiBg to tbe women . All the efforts of the police to effect ber capture were useless , and Ehe finally escaped in the crowd of combatants . One man had his head laid open by the stroke of a baton , and several of the _-ris'kaders were taken prisoners . _Dcblis , Monday , May 29 . —There is still an extreme degree of excitement amongst a large proportion ofthe population , who lock upon Mr Mitchel as a patriot and 3 martyr . Many Roman Catholics , _t-To _, are deeplv discontented at what they consider a _siii-ht cast upon them in the mode of _arranging _ the june 3 in the state trials . I shall mention an incident _iiiusfravire of this feeling .

    Chief Baron Pigot _. himself a Roman Catholic , presided this day in tie Xisi Frin 3 Court . When a r- _- — -es about to be sworn , the first person called reia = ed to be _swi _. rn , on the ground that he Wa 9 not ' ¦'¦ "alined to discharge the duties of a juror . Chief Baron . —What , sir , is the ground of your ii- _' _quilifieation ? Juror . —I am a Roman Catholic . Chiet Baron ;—I am not aware that there is any _- ' _" _jqaalificaticn in tbat . Juror . —Nor was I , my lord , until Friday last , ? -ea Catholics Were excluded . Chief Baron , addressing the officer : Swear that

    s _«* Jt . _emancnthejury-, The oath W _.-JS administered , and the juror took his _i' _3-eeinthebox . . Tte two indictments against Mr Mitchel for _section , which were to have been tried in the present _* f tin , have , a < a matter _ofcevrse , been abandoned by : Crown . Notices have _bten served upon the two _2-rit 3 which had been struck for the trial of those _c- _^ es , intimating tbat their attendance wiil cot be _^ cired . 'f l _: e Crown bas vet taken no step for proceeding _^ 'tn uew trials in the cases of Messrs Smith O'Brien irjd Meagher ; but it is said they will be tried in the _r- ' -estat ierm .

    The United _Irishhan newspaper is extinct . It a _; p _? ari that the Crown has fully carried ont the _se-^ _eUration against the property of Mr Mitchel , so _i 3 * "a _= the printing materials are concerned . The _py g _.-eds returned on Saturday were certain fis-X _?« _s claimed by the landlord of the hense . As Mr : lT itchel was registered proprietor , the Stamp-oihce _^ sthe right to reject anv other _persecs seeking to _lister themselves as his " successors .

    ARRIVAL OF _JOH ! _T _HirCIIEL AT SPIKE ISLAND . An extraordinary edition of the Cork Examiner published on Snnday _evening , contains the following-— . The vessel that brought John Mitchel to Spike arrived m the harbour at an early bout to-day ; and before it dropped its anchor , the martyr-patriot was _Jandedon the island , and handed over ta the castodv of the governor . He was brought on shore , from the vessel by two of the Dublin police , and two marines . _ohortly after bis arrival , Captain Atkins , of Water park , the inspector of the Penitentiary , gave orders that a separate room should be provided for him and that heshould not be interfered with for this day ; but that , on to-morrow , he would be obliged to wear the convict dress , and be treated in all respects as an ordinary convict . *

    REPEAL ASSOCIATION , Mat 29 . The weekly meeting of thi s body was held this day in Conciliation Hall . The meeting was more crowded than on ordinary occasions , in the expectation that reference would be made by somo of the speakers to the proceedings of the past week . MrBuKKE ( barrister ) having been called to the chair , proceeded to refer tothe trial of Mr Mitchel . He declared that the loathsome Whigs—the loaded dice Whigs— ( hisses )—had cast aside the mask , and proclaimed as practically as if they had written it on the walls of the city , that they had suspended the constitution . Mr Galwet , having _charged the government with jury packing , moved the following resolutions : — 1 . That in the late case of the Qieen v . John M ' tcbel _, the jury selected to sit on tbe trial of the accused was packed , from the known political opponents of the

    prisoner . 2 . That , therefore , thB verdict ef that jury ia no _evideace of Hr Mitchel's guilt . S . That punishment based upon tbat verdict is an act of arbitrary power , and a blow struck , through the medium of joxy packing , at the lhes and liberties of

    Irishmen . i , Tbat , under the circumstances , it is the hounden duty oflreland to adopt the family of Mr Mitchel as it 9 _ewn _, aod to _provide fer their comfort and education , at the pnbiic expanse , daring the absence ef that _gentlemaB from this country . 5 . That a copy of the foregoing resolutions be presented to Mrs Mitchel , aecompanied bj au _expression ot Sincere condolence on the part of this association . ' Mr O'Cossell seconded the motion , and said , that on the following Monday , or that day-fortnight , he

    hoped he should be able to lay before the association a course of policy for its adoption which would be approved of by Mr William Smith O'Brien and all classes of Repealers . ( Hear , hear . ) The learned gentleman nest attacked tbe government for convicting and transporting Mr Mitchel by a packed and partisan jury , and concluded by stating , tbat any Irish Roman Catholic sheuld spit in the Attorney-General ' s face if he dared to speak to them , as he had spat in all their faces when he excluded tbem from the jury-bos , and considered them unworthy cf belief on their oaths , ( Cheers . )

    One or two other speeches having teen delivered , to the same purport , at five o ' _cleck the week ' s rent was stated to be £ 12 . New Reading op the Fel _^ kt Bill . —We have be ***! _informed that Air Hugh _Magoire , who was arrested and committed te prison on the 17 th alt ,, for _havir , g in his possession a copy of Smith O'Brien's speech in the House of Commons , and a espy of the National Guard Declaration , is still detained in _Cavan gaol , notwithstanding that bail to any amount has been repeatedly offered for him . We are

    also informed , tbat since his confinement he has been treated asa common felon ; that he has been obliged to submit to have his hair cut , and to put on the felon ' s dress . Had we not these facts upon the best authority , _wecouldnotbelievesogrossanontrpge would have-been ventured upon . The excuse which Mr _Eelmes , the stipendiary magistrate , has offered for not acccepting bail is . tbat the ' Authorities'in the Castle are eo occupied with other matters , that they have not had time to consider it , and that until he receives their instructions , Mr Maguire must remain a prisoner , and be treated as a felon!—Natiox .

    PBOTESTAXT REPEAL ASSOCIATION . Dr / _ELis , Tuesday Evjbsisg . —A _metiinjj of the Protestant Repeal Association was held tbis evening in the Music Hall , Abbey-street ; The hall and galleries were densely crowded . Dr Nvttai . wa ? called to the chair . He said they were stiembled that night to tell the government that tbey were determined to repeal the disunion that had hitherto existed between the Catholic _» Dd tbe ProteBtant . ( Loud _ctears . _) They were not contested , and they ought aot to b _3 contented with the present state of the country , Tbe minuteB of proceeding at last meeting were rea 3 . Abont 800 _mtmcers were admitted , including 100 Orangemen , making the total number of members admitted 1 . 500 . Several resolutions , denouncing the Union and the _Eeglish government , wero adopted .

    Mr Iselakd , barrister , delivered a lengthy and elequent speech . SpeaVicg of Mr Mitchel , he said , it was as palpable as the face of soon-day tbat that mas had not been tried , but prejudged—he bad not been _foosd guilty , sentenced—( loud cheers)—and he ( Mr Ireland ) srrai ' gncd the whole proceedings as a judicial assassination . ( Londcheers . ) He called upon the Protetants of Ireland to come forward and reBent this infernal and diabolical act of aggression ea the liberties ef the country . ( Cheers . ) The meeting , on dispersing , cheered loudly for Mitchel .

    MEETING AT DDNBOYNE . On Monday evening & public dinner was held in Danbsyne . About 100 persons sat down to dinner . Many of those attended as deputations from the Confederate Clubs of Dublin ; but the majority of the company was composed of tbe 6 iaall farmers and landholders of the district . Mr Simon R . Frazer , of _Bnblin , occupied the chair . Amongst the speakers waa Mr Daheny , from Dublin , who delivered s brilliant speech of which the heroism of poor Mitchel was the theme . Amongst the toasts were the following : — The Chaibk » s . —I will now proceed to give the health of one of the bravest men that Ireland ever gare birth to— « the health ofthe martyred patriot , John Mitchel . ' ( Lond BDd long contiHHed cheering . )

    The _Chaibhak proposed the health ofthe ' Heroine , Marv Mitchel , ' and in doing so detailed a scene , of which he was witness , in the prison of Newgate . Mrs Mitchel had visited her patriot hnsbannd—after some words calculated to cheer his spirits , she as if by inspiration exclaimed , * No matter , John , fie day trill come that they will pay for this ; if necessary , die for Ireland . ' ( Loud cheering . ) It was unnecessary to say more to make the toast te received as it deserved . The entire company rose , and received , the toast with the most e nthusiastic cheering .

    Ay indeed ! To the ETERNAL INFAMY of _Ensland _, and the ETERNAL DISGRACE oflreland , a braver and a better man than Wallace , or Washington , or Emmett , or Tell , is now a holocaust to Saxon tyranny , and for loving his country , and pleading for his starving countrymen , John Mitchel is a chained convict , _ploughing the ocean wave on his melancholy way to Norfolk Island . Chartists ! lovers of liberty , ' honest Englishmen 1 What do you say to this ? Do you blush at your name of Briton ? , or do you spurn all _sympathy—all connexion—all community of bohIof thonght , ef _fcelioj _, with those monstrous men who have again violated every law of liberty , and honourand justice , and humanity , that they might

    , be revenged oflreland . Chartists ! Britons ' , will you rest oh your oars , and . without a murmur , see the brave Mitchel banished from his native land for thinking and saying , even as you do yourselves , 'thatthe blessings of liberty and equality are the rifht of all , and that the poor son of labour i 3 aB _cood and as valuable as tbe pampered child of luxury and wealth . Britons ! Englishmen!—arouse you . You were born in a land , once great , gloiious , and free ; you now 'live , and move , and have your being ' under tte crushing sway of a corrupt and a villanous government . Will you submit to it ? of Mitchel ?

    Ara vou satisfied at the fate poor Will you not bold council in your towns and villages , and tell vour tyrants that they are MURDERERS , ana deserve the MURDERER'S doom ? Will you not do this ? Tou ought to doit . John Mitchel was one of vonrselveB-not by biith , indeed , but in thought and feeling—in his aim and objects—in his hopes , his yearnings—his struggles for right . He fell gloriously , no doubt ; but Btill he is a victim . Do vou feel that he _deBerred a oobler fate ? If you do * sav se ; and let it aot go forth that the honest people " ef England , even by silent implication , _^ _arctioned the whoso put upon John Mitchel and

    Ireland ; I cannot write to day . My heart is full ; my eyes , as I think on what we are , and what we might be , are suffused with tears . A week ago , we _wr . re slaves * , but we bad a hope within us , and a gmoing 'tar before us . To-day that hope is crushed , and the glowing light of that' bright particular -star * is ecliD ced—perhaps gone down for ever . 1 et r . o ; even in the solitudes of Norfolk Island , that _Western luminary wiil shine resplecdently , and . the trail whicii it left iere behind will _irradiata that field on

    Trial Of The Patriot, Johnn Mitchel Dubl...

    which MifcnCi ' s wrongs will be avenged , the last Game for Ireland _pliyed—played aud won , cr lost tor ever ! The Dublin journals will furnish ample records of tne trial and conviction of poor Mitchel . I need not , therefore , say much on this memorable subject . i do not mean to say he had not a fair trial-yet I never heard a man apeak ( and I have spoken with thousands of every creed and party en tbe matter ) who did not agree that John Mitchel was a martvr to corruption , and perjury , and injustice . -Nobody « harJy enyigu to assert that he had any chance ol lair play . Every _deyice-eyerj Btratagem was used which Mifcn _^ 's _wrongs will h > _«^« j _± u „ i _. „»

    te insure a conviction . Not only was every Catholic juror in the Catholic city of Dublin struck off unceremoniously from the ' chosen twelve : 'but every Presbyterian was similarly excluded , and every _ f rotestant , to _% from whom a fair , and heneat , and impartial verdict could be expected . Those ' retamed' were men 'fit and proper' for the business ! They were men , net of much respectability , but on them Lord Clarendon , and the Attorney-General could depend—and their confidence was not misplaced . Their ' good men and trne' knew what was expected , and they perfoimed their work to the entire satisfaction of their employers .

    Last week will be long memorable in Ireland . It was a perilous , a trying time . Dublin was like a city oa the eve of an _insnrrection . But there was no chance of such a contingency , after all . ' Jobn Mitchel was let go as if he was the _loweit pickpocket or street vagrant , and Ireland , f » r the present , is more trampled , beaten , and bullied than

    ever . On Friday evening , Mitchel was pronounced « Guilty . ' The streets about the Court-house exbi bited a stirring , and yet a gloomy aspect . People knew he would be found _guilty , and yet they could scarcely believe their ears when tbe fatal werd ran through the crowd . It was tten about six o ' clock . The eveniDg was soft , sunny , and delightful . Half the population of Dublin was crammed in the vicinity of Newgate . In Catiel-street alone th ° , re could not be less than 80 , 000 persons thronged together . When tbe news of Mitchel ' s being convicted was declared , the scene became terrific . The yells and hooting * of tbe vast crowd showed their hatred to tbe government , as well as tbeir sympathy for the 'felon . ' The large parties of police , stationed at the various points

    abaut the Court-house , formed themselveB into solid bodie ? , drew their batons , and prepared for conflict . A _siBgle lancer , with a leathern letter-pouch , might baseen galloping from tbe Castle towards the different barracks , and in half an hoar 10 , 000 soldiers were under arms in this city . Itwas a moment of intense—nay , painful , anxiety . None could tell the moment when a body of pikemen would march to Newgate , or when a blue rocket from Cork-hill would announce the presence of an insurgent host at the Castle walls . But all passed away . Next morning ' s sun shone brightly on the British flag , and if a stray beam could penetrate the _grating of the cells of Newgate , it would find John Mitchel a fettered captive—a hopeless , yet not repining , slave .

    Early on Saturday morning , the streets near Newgate were again afire with people . The police were still more _rffensive and insulting tban on the preceding days . Everybody , not on - particular bus ! _ness' or friendly to the ' powers above , ' wa 3 rudely thrust back from approaching the Court house . Still the patience of the crowds did not desert them . Under a broiling sun , men , women , and children st 9 ed without flinching . At eleven o ' clock , the judges ( Baron Lefroy and Chief Justice Moore ) took their seats on tbe bench . John Mitchel was called forth . He stood tbere , fearless as ever , pale , sallow _, and delicate looking , yet a scowl of defiance in his

    fine eyes and undying hostility to the ' enemy , ' was imprinted on his haughty brow . It was a melancholy , yet a glorious , scene . Tbere stood Ireland in the person of John Mitchel , aDd there sat Eng _' and in the shape of a _wigged and _ermined judge . There stood the two hostile nations , after a struggle of seven _huadred years , fresh for the combat still—the one ruthless and rapacious as ever the other abating not a jot of the stubborn , indomitable , undying spirit of hostility of her malignant rival . There they stoodbut again England was the victor—Ireland was crushed once more , and John Mitchel was sentenced to

    FOURTEEN YEARS TRANSPORTATION

    BEYOND THE SEAS !!!' The scene now enacted in the court-house was never equalled before , and will never be forgotten in Ireland . Mitchel arose . His eyes flashed terribly on the quailing judges . ' Hear me , ' he cried , ' I am convicted by partisan judges , a perjured sheriff , and a corrupt jury . I do not regret the part I have acted . 1 defied the Lord Clarendon and the British government to drag me here . I knew they would do it . 1 knew the fate that awaited ms , but I was prepared for ifc , and I do not regret it . But is the struggle over ? Is the British government secure now that I am immolated ? They are not . The fight is but b- _'gun . The Roman hero who when his hand was burned to cinders , said , that three hundred others were prepared to take his place , only spoke wbat I feel at this moment . I will go . But

    others will come , and I tell my foes that one , two , three , n 3 y , tbree hundred better men are prepared to take my place to-morrow . ' As he uttered the latter words , the 'convict' looked into the eyesot his friends around tbe dock , and a scene enBned which beggars description . T . F . Meagher , Michael Doheny , and several others jumped forward with a wild cry , ' Yes , yes , ' they shouted , ' Bravo , Mitchel , you spoke the truth , Here we swear to do as you did , and sell our lives in the struggle for the land ' s freedom . ' The judges trembled on the bench . ' Take that man from the bar , ' eried Baron Lefroy , The friends ofthe 'felon' rushed forward to grasp his hand . The police rushed to the rescue , thinking that the game was up , and that the ' rebelliee' had commenced within the walls of Green-street Courthouse ! it was now a terrific moment . The bustle

    of the police in personal conflict with Mitchel ' s friends—the cries of the Sheriff and the Court house functionaries—the cheera of the Mitehelites and the screams of the ladies in tbe galleries , formed a strange and appalling uproar . Baron Lefroy actually ran away trembling from the bench , whilst his brother judge grasped the railing as if he waB about to faint away . At last Mitchel wan dragged , by a subterraneous passage , to hia cell , and in a few moments the clanking of irons told that the best and bravest of tke present generation of Irishmen was a fettered captive !

    In three hoars after he was already shaven and equipped for conveyance to the transport waiting in Dublin harbour . At four o ' clock he was placed in the * black caravan , ' and escorted by a few dragoons , driven rapidly through the city down to the north wall , where two armed boats were awaiting to convey him to the Shearwater frigate , lying iu Halpin'a Pool . On his arrival at the pier he was hurried en board one of those _baata , from whence he was _trassferred to the transport , and within sight of hia dear DubliB _, poor Mitchel was sent' below . ' Immediately the vessel sailed , the English flag flying from her mast-head , and our hero was on his watery way to Norfolk Island .

    It is gratify-in * to find that Irishmen have spirit enough still to do their duty to the bereaved family of poor Mitchel . Subscriptions to a considerable amount have been already effected , and ifc is expected that such a sum will be raised as will maintain Mrs Mitchel and her six little children , in that way to which they are entitled , until the period ofthe ' convict's' slavery will have expired . Lord Cloncurry , with his usual generosity , has sent the _nmaificeat subscription of one hundred pounds to this National Fund , through the bands of the Very Rev . DrSpratt , of the Carmelite Convent , _Whitefriars . Itis hoped that few of the liberal party of Ireland , whether of the ' Old' or ' Young Ireland' section , who can at all afford to assist in this good work , will refuse to testify their gratitude to poor John Mitchel , and their abhorrence of tbe vile government to whose malignant schemes he is a martyr .

    I dare say the United Irishman will appear no more . Poor Mitchel had scarcely set his foot in the transport on last Saturday , when bia office was entered by the myrmidons of the government and the _printing materials , presses , books , & c , belonging to the establishment seized on for the crown . Hi 9 dwelling-houses too , at Rathmines , and every penny worth , clutched in like manner . All is gone ! But Ireland will not see John Mitchel ' s family pine in poverty . Wealth Bball be theirs , Alas ! Alas ! if gold could restore our hero from the irons of the Saxon , we soon should' look upon bis face again . '

    THE FRENCH _REPltfLIC . PROCEEDINGS OPTDE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY . The Assembl y was chiefly occupied on Thursday with the decree proposed bythe Executive Commission , defining the powers of tho latter . It required , first , that its members should be exempted / rem sitvlJ * g i ] i . tIie AaBembly ; and , secondlv , that they should be entrusted with the entire safeguard of that body . The members of the Executive Commission n mr . * -.-.-.. — _~ rn ~ 7 _Z _^

    signified their intention of resigning in a body if the decree were not adopted by the Assembly . It was _agreed that the attendance of the members of the Executive CommiBBion in the Assembly should only be required when explanations were to be demanded , and then on the express requisition of at least forty _membora , but that part of the project whieh entrusted the safeguard of tbe Assembly to the Executive _Commision was _rejected by precisely the same majority . The safety and freedom of the Assembly is entrusted to the president and _queators .

    _„ CONDITIO !! OF THE LABOURERS . On friday the Assembly proceeded to discuss tho project of a decree , brought forward by Citizen Waldeck Rousseau , to institute an inquiry into the condition ot the iabouring classes throughout the Republic _, ihe committee had fully approved ita principle , and resolved that such an inquiry should be opened in every distmt under the presidency of the justice of the peace , assisted by a commission , composed of an equal number of operatives and masters delegated by their respective classes , The commission is to inquire into the number of

    opera tives of both sexes engaged in every branch of industry , of the children under sixteen years of age , of the apprentices of both sexes employed in manufactures , & c , and mention their age , tne terms of their _engagement ; tho resources afforded by each district , the condition of its manufacturing establishments , the state of tbe salaries ; the agreements usually entered into between the operatives and masters ; the average duration of the works annually ; tha supposed cause ol the prosperity or deterioration of each branch of industry ; the existence , condition , and results of associations .

    either among the operative ? , or the operatives and masters ; the influence over private industry and labour ef works executed in prisons , hospitals , & c . ; the means of increasing the production and insuring the progressive development of consumption ; the number of provident institutions in each district ; the state of instruction and of moral and professional education ; the condition of existence of the operatives , as respects their dwellings , food , aDd clothing ; the situation of the agricultural interests ; the works that might be undertaken with a view to afford employment to the unoccupied labourers , < fcc . The commissioners are to be appointed in the course of the week following the promulgation of the decree , the inquiry is to commence immediately afterwards , and be terminated in a menth . In Paris the inquiry is to be carried on by the Committee of Labour of the National Assembly . The decree was adopted , after a short discussion .

    TRIAL BY IURY . The Minister of Justice next presented a project of a decree for tho reorganisation of the jury . Hitherto , he said , none were admitted to form part of thejury , except electors and the class des _capacites . Tbe immense mass of French _oitizsns were consequently excluded . The Executive Committee bad directed him to Bubmit a decree to the Assembly , in virtue of which all French citizens , thirty _yufraof age , were entitled to exercise the functions of _jurymi-n , with the exception only of judicial officers , military men in active service , citizens who can neither read nor write , servants , bankrupts , _individual condemned for robbery , swindling , abuse of confidence , & _:-. Septuagenarians and labourers may , at their request , be exempted . The list of the jurymen is to be drawn up by the Mayors and posted up at the gates ot the churches and municipalities .

    PERPETUAL BANISHMENT OF THB OKLEANS FAMILY . The President next announced thit tho _Orleans Family Banishment Bill was the order of the day . It consisted of the following articles :- * ' The entrance of the territory of France and her colonies interdicted for ever to the elder branch of the Bourbons , by the law of the 10 th of April , 1832 . is equally interdicted to Louis Philippe and hia family . M . Vezin thought tbat the discussion on the bill should be postponed until the result of tbe judicial inquiry , now proceeding , should be known . ( ' No , n > , 'from several members on the left . )

    M . Laurent was opposed to the enactment of a law oi perpetual and hereditary proscription , inasmuch as it was contrary to justice and the liberal spirit ot modern democracy , and to the principles he had at all times professed . He accoidingly moved that the decree be thus modified : — ' The entrance of t he territory ot France and her colonies , Algeria included , sball be interdicted to the members of tho two branches of the Bourbon family , untii the pacification of France and the general situation of Europe shall permit the cessation of that prohibition . ' M . d ' ADELswARD said that ho bad heard the word reaction mentioned in the course of the discussion _. The Assembly had witnessed the demagogical reaction ; where was the other ? He , however , confined himself to propose the suppression in the article of the words'for ever . '

    M . Viouerte , who next rose , said , that the law repealing the banishment of the Bonaparte family was only temporary and conditional . Here loud expostulations arose on all sides , and M . _Jkbome Bonaparte having ascended the tribune , observed , that he felt the greatest reluctance to _como forward on such an occasion , but he could not help protesting against the expression ' temporary , ' used by M . Viguerte . ho member of the Assembly should presume to say that one of bis colleagues sat in it only in virtue of a temporary right . M . Vigorrte having consented to withdraw the word ' temporary . ' M . Jerome Bonaparte declared that he considered himself a mere citizen , like M . Viguerte , and like him amenable , if he conspired , to the laws of the ountry . ( Bravo . )

    M . _| Ducoux objected to the assimilation of the Bonaparte and Orleans families . The former , he said , represented the tradition of _aglorious period of French history , and nothing elee . M . Ducoux then moved tbat the decree be voted in the form presented by tbe government . The discussion being closed , and none of the amendments supported , the president was preparing to put the decree to the vote , when _fifty-two members demanded the division . The operation immediately commenced . The representatives who were of opinion to adopt the measure left by the door on the right of the president , giving their name as they

    passed to an officer of the house . The opponents , consisting of tbe Legitimists and members of the Bonaparte family , walked out by the left door . M . Odillon Barrot , and about fifty or sixty others , abstained frora voting . During tbe scrutiny , M . Lamartine , Arago , Marie , Garnier Pages , and Ledru Rollin entered the hall , and shortly afterwards M . Louis BJanc , who had absented himself for some days . The following waa the result of the ballot : — Number of votes 698 Absolute majority 315 For the banishment 632

    Againstit 63 Majority ... ... 569 The decree was accordingly adopted , and tha names of the voters were ordered to be printed in the MONITEUR . The proceedings ofthe Assembly on Saturday were not of general interest , with the exception ofthe following . EMPLOYMENT ON THE LAND . M . Montrecil , developed his motion relative to the expediency of applying a sum of 300 , 000 , _OOOfr . to reclaim unproductive lands in France and to colonise Algeria . * M . Flocon , Minister of Commerce , informed the Assembly that a project nearly similar , but more complete , was preparing in his department , which would be _thortlysubmitted to the Assembly . After some further conversation , the proposition was taken into consideration and referred to different committees .

    Mosdat _, May 29 . —Extraordinary precautions had been adopted for the protection of the Assembly , from an apprehension that the operatives about to be discharged from the national workhouses would make a demonstration . An immense force occupied the neighbourhood of the palace , and the thoroughfares were interrupted along the quays and in the adjoining streets , where a few groups only were _stationed , quietly discussing the questions at the _ordeu of the day . At two o ' clock M . Senard , vice-president , took the chair , and shortly afterwards M . Fallous . was

    called to the tribune fo present a report of tho C « _mraittee of Labour on the National Workhouses . The committee had resolved to propose to the Assembly to substitute piece- _?? ork for the day-work ,, to open special credits in the _Ministoies of Publio Works , Commerce aud Agriculture * and of the interior , to construct and repair depastmental roads ,. & c , and those opsrativea who had not resided more than three nam ths in Paris , _and were actually destitute of _meaae of existence , should receive _passportB and be _allowed travelling expenses to return to their families .

    The Assembly thea fixed the discussion of the _import for Tuesday . M . Bastidb , Minister of Foreign Affairs , sext ascended the tribune , and announced that Belgium and Spain had formally recognised the _French Republio . M . Taschehbau followed , aad addressed some questions to the Minister of Publio Works , relative to _, the arrest of M . Emile Thomas , Director of the Na . 1 tional Workhouse . M . Trelat _, the Minister of Public Works , said that on the 12 th ult ., the day he was called to the ministry , he had applied to M . Emile Thomas fer tbe return of the number of the operatives employed in those establishments . That document had been _oooBtant ly pr _jfflissd him . hut he ted . ne ? _es fee § a able

    The French Repltflic. Proceedings Optde ...

    to obtain it . Finding it impossible to procure an I official and exact return , he had appointed a committee to inquire into the matter , and M . Emile T _^ nms _innLTf _^ t _^ L l prised him of his P ersonal _fms _, and told him that heforesaw the moment when his _settees _should be requited by ingratitude , violence and perhaps the loss oi life , he ( Mi Trelat ) had thought proper to send him out ofthe way , and confided to him an honourable mission to the departments of the Gironde and the _Landes . M . Taschhbeau , who followed , invited tbe minister toieclare whither the measure adopted towards MThomas assailed his honour and character , lhe minister returning no reply , M . Tascheroau observed that it was evident he wished to leave him exposed to an accusation derogatory to his _reputatisn . The Assembly afterwards passed to the order o the day . .

    The president here rose , and was preparing to read a letter addressed by Prince Louis Napoleon to the Natienal Assembly , when cries of ' No , No ! , ' re sounded on all sides . The Assemb ' y , on being consulted , decided bi an immense majority tbat the letter should not be read . The discussion then opened on the project of a decree relative to the relations between the National Assembly and the Executive Committee , A lengthy and noisy discusstion ensued , in which Ledru-Rollin took part , and was met with considera ble opposition and interruption . The Assembly broke up in confusion . _Tuesdat , May 30 th . —Thi 3 day the discussion opened on the project of the decree relative to the National Workhouses .

    Mr _Souvebte , the first speaker , called on the Assembly to adopt prompt and energetic measures for the protection of the operatives anxious to return to their work . M . _JoANNOf , who followed , recommended an intelligent re-organisation of the National Workhouse ** , and opposed , as cruel and despotic , the expulsion from Pans of workmen who bave not resided more than three months in the city , proposed by the Committee . M . _Bbnwst next read a speech in favour of the _nojeasity of employing the operatives in fieldworks . M . _Pellxtier , who followed , protested against the statement of M . Souverte respecting an alleged indisposition on the part of the operatives to resume their work .

    M . Trelxt , Minister of Public Works , said , that on the following day he would submit to the Assembly a aeries of bills to enable the government to create labour on different points of the Republie , and thus afford employment to the real operatives . The Assembly afterwards voted , without any opposition , the four articles of the bill . A discussion on the bill regulating the relations between the Executive and the legislative powers occupied the remainder of the sitting .

    _AKREgT OP _BLAKQUI . Blanqui was arrreBted at six o'clock on Friday evening , at No . 14 , Rue Montholon , and taken to Vincennes . lie had kept his pursuers at bay for the last twelve days , and ifc was supposed that he had at last contrived to escape to Belgium . Another important arrest has been made in the person of FJotte , who had hitherto escaped the _vigilanco of the police . DEM ' . CRATIC BANqUBT . We find the following in the Commerce ' . — ' It appears that a banquet ia about to bo given in honour of MM , Albert , Barbes , and their fellow prisoners . If we are rightly informed , thi 9 banquet was decided upon on Thursday evening . Itis to take place at St Maude , not far from the fort of Vincennes . The tickets are te be 25 o . ( 3 sous ) each , and the guests are to content themselves with wine , bread , and cheese . The getters up of thia manifestation reckon upon a gathering of about 150 , 000 guests .

    On Monday there was a very formidable meeting , as to numbers , at the Port St Denis , and the humbler operatives had their promised dinner at five sous a head , at Saint Maude . The speeches were of a very violent character .

    RE-OKGANISATION OI THE ' CLUB BAHBE 3 . ' The ' Club Barbes , ' which had been closed Bince the loth ult ., was reopened on Thursday night , at eight o ' clock , in the Rue de Grenelle St Honore , in the presence of more than 300 members , and of Be vera ! visitors in the galleries . The objects of the meeting were the reorganisation of the officers of the club , and tbe course to be adopted during the ensuing elections . The presidency of the club was awardul by acolamation to Citizan Armand Barbes , andthe honorary vice presidency to Citizen Qosau , both prisoners at Vincennes . Citizen Lamieussens was unanimously elected vice-president . The Club Populaire of tbe Sorbonne has opened a subscription for a _aword of honour to Gen . Courtais _, and inuited all the democratic clubs to follow its example . LOUIS BLANC .

    Some of papers state that the Procureur-General ofthe Republichas found such strong evidence against M . Louis Bl & nc , for participation in the affair ofthe 15 th of May , that he was about to demand authority from the Aesembly te put him on his trial , but he has been formally interdicted by the Executive government .

    THE NXW CONSTITUTION . The committee of the National Assembly on the constitution adopted two _. important resolutions in its sitting of Saturday—viz ., it resolved that there sbould be a single president and a single chamber , and that both should be elected by the universal suffrage ofthe nation . The committee is divided on the queation aa to the duration of the office of president and of the chambers . Some of ihe members wish to fix both at three years , while others think that , for tho tranquillity of the country , the elections of both president and legislature should only take place once in four year * . There are a great number of important points not yet considered ; but still It is thought that the committee will be in a position to make its report to the Assembly by the end ot June .

    _MTSTERIOUS AW AIR . M- Emile Thomas , late director of the national workshops , was obliged to resign that poBt on Friday night last , and was sent off post for Bordeaux _, in charge of—at least accompanied by—two police agents . His reported arrest created great excitement _. The _MosiTauR , and other organs of the government , assert that M . Thomas has merely gone to Bordeaux on a secret expedition . Publio rumour , supported by a letter written by M . Thomas himself , shows that the mission , if it exist all , is a forced one —that M- Thomas left Paris in the charge of gendarmes—that he was p . ot allowed to communicate with his family or friends—and that he was ignorant of the mission upon which he was sent . The affair is altogether a very mysterious one .

    On Saturday and Sunday evenine ; the workinc classes were evidently in a state of great excitement . Immense crowds of them congregated in the neighbourhood of the portes St Martin and St Denis , at the Palais National ( Royal , ) and along the Boulevards . They discussed the affairof M . Thomas with great animation , and many of the orators delivered violent invectives against the government for their conduct to the man whom they declared to be le pere des ouvriers . The excitment waa bo great that several battalions of troopa and National Guards were kept under arms all night , DISTURBED STATE OP PARIS .

    Pahis , Monday . —The excitement which reigned yesterday evening in the _quartier St Denis and / St Martin seems to have been prolonged through a part of the night . A report was current this morning that two patrols of from twenty to twenty-five men each had been disarmed in the Rue Si Denis and Rue St Martin , and that an officer had his epaulettes torn off . To day every measure is ta _& en to ensure- tranquillity from any interruption % . on all points of the capital considerable forces are stationed ; seven batations of the Garde Mobile under the orders of General Tempoure are posted ia front of the Hbtsl de Ville . Tbe workmen , brought back to sentiments of peace and of submission to the-authorities , have-confjned themselves to naming delegatea , who are to proeeed to the Assembly with a petition ,, but not accompanied by their _coms-ades , and which petition they are to place in the hands of one of the representatives , who will be their organ before- tha Assembly .

    During the whole of to-day the park of Mcaceaux haa been crowded with _the-workmen _. At _Viacennes too there is a large assemblage . The PRE 33 _E-. mentions « aQiongBt the alarmicg reports circulated in Paris , that the ' conspirators' were manufacturing twenty-four gun caraiagea- m the Faubourg St Antoine to bo-mounted by . oana » n carrying eight _poiuidishot .

    CHAP . VII , —FINANCE , A budget for the expenses and revenues of the State for each coming year must bs presented beforohand . _Theclausea in the projected constitution respecting the throne and _firat chamber have excited great _dissatisfaction . Copies of the Constitution were _burnfe by the people en the evening of the 23 rd ult . SOUTHERN GERMANY . It appears that the late disturbances at _Mentz are for the present ended , though great _animesity still prevails . In the sittiBC of the Constituent Assembly at Frankfurt of the 23 rd ult ., a detailed report of those lamentable events was given to the Assembly by MrZitz , tbe ultra Radical member fer Mentz . In conclusion he made amotion about putting a atop to military despotism , and ordering the _PrU'sian troopa to evacuate the town and . citadel . The Con * stituent Assembly declined _discuB'ing the motion , but voted a commission to be appointed to inquireinto the facts of the case .

    THE RUN-AWAY EMPEROR . On the 2 _lat ult ., a manifesto to his people , signed ' Ferdinand , ' was posted in the streets of _innspruck , ( Tyrol ) , declaring that he had sought refuge bmong them from anarchical faction , and in paiticular denouncing the Academical Legion of Vienna . The end of this no ene can see . The Austrian empire is , to all appearance , going to pieces ,

    ITALY . HORRIBLE MASSACRE AT NAPLES BY THE TROOPS AND THE LAZZARONI . Letters from Naples , of the loch ult ., state that a difference between the King and the chamber led to a breach of the peace , in consequence of wbich the troops were called out . The national guard immediately raised barricades in the streets , and a combat ensued . After a time the _fighting became general , musketry and grape-shot being discharged . The popular party were overpowered and horribly massacred .

    It appears that on Saturday , the 13 ib , in the morninsr _, the deputies were assembled in the Salle de Monte Olivetto , in preparatory session , to modify the form of the oath to be taken at the opening of parliament . This oath waa in these term 9 : — 'I swear fidelity to the Kin ? and the constitution of 29 th January . ' The deputies were opposed to thia form , because it was not in consonance with the concessions of 3 rd April , Saturday and Sunday passed in negotiations . In the evening , at eleven o ' clock , it was announced that the King would not modify the form .

    The deputies , to the number of eighty , met , declared themselves in permanence , and sent a deputation to the King to treat aa to a modification . The King refused . The natienal guard went in great numbers to Monte Olivetto to persuade the deputies to persevere . About midnight , another deputation was sent to the palace ,, when the King demaaded time . A modification ofthe oath was then proposed , in which a reservation of the rights conferred by the decree of the 3 rd of April should be made . The King pretended to accept this , but the chamber learned that the troops had , meanwhile , been ordered out , and , force being thus resorted to , all conciliation became impossible . Sooa after midnight the national guard commenced constructing _barrioades . At half-past one the generate was beaten , and at two , the troops—infantry , cavalry , snd artilleryissued from their barracks and occupied the spaces around the palace , the castle , and the market .

    The King , being informed of the construction of the barricades , ordered the soldiers-to withdraw , and consented to the parliament b ? iog opened without any oath ; the formality was to hava taken place with explanations on the subject of the statute . The national guard , however , refused to lower the barricades , except on the condition ofthe abolition of the Chamber of Peers , the surrende ? of the fortresses , and the removal ofthe troops from the capital , This being declined , the troops were again ordered out , and the squareaof the palace and other rlacea were covered with armed forces , including a great quantity of artillerv . drawn out

    At nine o ' _claek , the Swiss troops were around the ca * tie . At half-past ; nine , there was an apparent movement to retreat , but about eleven o ' clock a musket was _dischargad by accident , when thc national guard , believing , itself betrayed , commenced firing _. The Swiss and the other troops theD opened a murderous fire of musketry by _battaHons-, and the artillery commenced a murderous discharge of grape ; the conflict _* in fact , b ? camo general . At the barricades of San Fernando and . & r . n B ? idgida the National Guaifds sustained a fire of musketry and arti lery for / three hours without yielding an inch of ground . a orders
