      • _JJe _HJTUSE ROUMANIAN REPUBLIC . _TteBonin anians ; these valorous descendants ofthe fmsan colonists , whom the Emperor Trajanns had \] ed in ancient Dacia , have , in spite of several _paries of subjection , preserved , with , the male _^ rtaes of ancient Eome , not only _tire name , but feu the tongue of their ancestors . Their language * an idiom of the Latin , similar to that spoken by jLjr b tothet 3 of kin , the Italians . Amonnting in amber to ten millions , they inhabit Walachia , _M oldavia , Bessarabia , the Boukovine , Transylvania , _* re B anate , and part of eastern Hungary . AU these _jjeautittd and fertile countries in a word , which form ill valley of the Lower Dannbe , extend from the jjiscfc Sea to the land of the Magyars , and are now _jnbieeted to the triple despotic sway of Turkey , finssi a _, and Austria . "We feel confident of not _diseasing our readers , by putting before them the _fol-L-ing correspondence about this country , from which X _^_^— _^^~ ¦ -,

      thej w »' nappy to learn how numerous among the peop le of Ronmania are the elements of power , and _jjw n oble the use to wbich they intend to turn it . As f ormerly they were one of the chief bulwarks of Christen dom and civilisation against Mahomedans a ! Jd all the Asiatic invaders , so they are determined now to become one of the strongest champions of Europe an Democracy . In 1848 they were among tie f oremost to enter the lists with the war-cry of ' Justice ! Fraternity I Each for all , all for each F Since then they concluded with . Poland , France , Italy , and Germany , the fraternal compact ofthe _joJy alliance of peoples , and unshaken in their faith , thev hare never ceased preaching to their eastern neighbours the holy crusade of right against lawless might , ofthe peoples against their oppressors . But let us leave the expounding of tbis text to our wellinformed friend , the Bucharest correspondent :-

      —ROUMANIA . ( Private Correspondence of "La Xation , " Bru 33 _els paper . ) ( Translatedfor the " Stab op _FBERnoM .. " ] Bucharest , Walachia , loth April , 1852 . Sir , —The " Xational" ( whose correspondent I was ) no longer appearing , 1 have recourse to your columns for tho perusal of my task . Do not attribute my silence to my expectation of the re-appearance of the "National , " or to jay hesitation in the choice of another journal published _ja French . Xeither must you accuse me of neglect in this delay . So , lay no blame on me ; rather blame the Revolution of February , for it has been in some sort to us what pilroads bave been to commercial travellers ; it has put us cat of service .

      Since ' 43 , indeed , all countries in continental Europe are sffiie—the physiognomy of all is the same . Apnrt from a few local facts , little fit to interest even . persons of the locality , the circumstances are the same everywhere . Every _trk-re the same fears , the same hopes , the same " provi lire '' Everywhere the people may be seen calm , resigned , confident in an approaching future ; and , on the other iand , the government uneasy , tormenting , cruel , and impotent . More than once have I taken my pen , to lay before you the state of this country , and the " Nation" has ever stopped me short by informing me that you have before vou

      alivingrepresentation of what 1 would describe . In the countries where you live—in France especiallythere is always something new , or at least the sight is rarifd , and furnishes wherewithal to fill np your columns There , sa after tbe 2 nd of December , you hava two great armies camped face to face—the army of reaction and that of ilis Revolution ;] and in both an infinite number of taps , each having its own banner . The 2 nd of December has but serred to make the Democrats a little forget their _jnsriie divisions , aud to envenom more those of the parti-Q 3 _:-- of monarchy .

      Tou have , on the one hand , the " Blancs "—Legitimists by right divine—Legitimists by national right , _Orleanists . _Inaonists . Bonapartists , _Katafoil—I forget the clerical Eilitia . On the other band , the " blues , " the " reds , " of erery shade ; you have the Socialists of every school . In tbis country ali is of a despairing monotony . I find us wherewithal to fill np a eorresponde nee . The _Ron-Brians , priest , and layman , soldier and citizen , townsman _sadc-rantryman—all desire one and the same thing : justice for all , fraternity between ail—Revolution . The enemies of the Revolution ( and they are aot wanting evidently ) are not seen . They are , it appears certain , in

      observance near the frontiers ; they are the Turks , the Hassans , the Austrians . To be sure , it is needless to say that here also is a government , and a few old children of privilege , wbo maLe a band apart . But those , it is a justice owed them , have no will , no hope ; they have even lost tbeir faith in the Russian protection . Their fear is great ; scarce have they strength left to whisper , like the toppists , in each other ' s ears : " Brothers , we must die I " That is the reason why the Roumanians heed them no Eore than if they never existed . With tbe rough common seaseof peasants of the Danube they say : " Let us mind our business , and when the day comes we shall not be long i * i settling oar accounts with those gentlemen . "

      let have they had this winter a few days of serenity . Oa hearing tbe news of M . Bonaparte ' s exploit they took courage . They accosted each other with a smile on their lip , and congratulated themselves as if it were their own wrk . Atthe Prince ' s palace the rejoicing wa 3 the same aa at the Elysee . I said a few days of serenity ; for their joy lasted tot little—their illusions soon faded away . They perceivedaaditappear 3 _thatit was _theRussian consul who opened their eyes—they perceived very soon , alas ! that the famous tmp d ' etat was but a coup < _Tmaiii—a police manrauvrogood at most to allow JJ . Bonaparte to waste the public _health for a few months , in giving free course to his taste & r sumptnou 3 fetes—in playing tbe great captain in the Didst of his adjutants—in the masquerades of Strasbourg

      sad Boulogne , and tbe assassinations of Paris—to dresB _tanself out in a general ' s uniform , even in an imperial _tanlle , for a few months , a few days ; but that the campaign _CDlessrs . De _^] _aupa 3 , Lows Napoleon , and Company , have lotting changed in the situation , save having rendered it fes durable , more precarious ; that if it had a little postponed the great crises which thej dreaded for the month of May ( and that yet remains to be known , for we are not yet _toMay ) , U would bave given it a much more threatening _chancier , in taking from itall chance of a pacific solution , which 5 & bv dared hone before tbe 2 ud December . The erents of

      _December are , therefore , considered here as if they neTer * sre . I first thought that they were not known—far from «• Ilia Roumanians firmly believe in the triumph ofthe _Reflation—of what they tall " the great fraternity ; " tbat , _a their opinion , nothing in the world can put it off for a _E _» nd . They consider the revolution so necessary , inevi-Jf- _^ that tbey speak of it as of a thing nearly _accomrpfced ; and , indeed , they are right in speaking so , since _» 5 f so stron S he , ief ; for , after all , what is _neces-* _ST for the success of a revolution ?—To believe it pos-B _We , nothing else .

      Really , the Roumanians , whom our publicists have not _^ _-nemiy studied , are called upon to play one of the _Jf-Mip a ! parts in the great drama of nationalities , _« 50 . ve d upon leaguing together , and of sacrificing all , if « _-ttu sthe , in order to finish , once for all , with that _corne a and infajnou 3 " promiscuiste , " fruitless for tho _de' _opaent of the human mind , to which tyrants have conj _jmted E 0 toat » y nations , in order to bave each its own exrjSjee acknowledged , and to consecrate it for ever by the Mr ° _* Democracy . Drama most terrible , afflicting , _atuaie , and of which we have seen but the prologue ia

      31 ii 3 people , in fact , independently of the undeniable ad-J _^ taijes they derive from , tha geograhical position of their r _^ _'tory , and the perfect _homogeneousness of aU the cnil-5 t _* _a of the Roumanian country , independently of tbe manly _Kbriety , and of that untiring perseverance , which are tha _j-ktinctive _marksjof the Boamanion ' _snationaloharacter—ink _peadently , ateo , of that careless gaiety _which , never leaves _^ _ni in the day of danger , and with the help of which they _Jsasider almost aB play , even in the tn _^ _st rigorous weather , _« _s fatigues and privations of war . They possess virtues *& ich are found united in no other people , and which they _'Oibtless owe to their exceptional position—to what ono _^ y almost call their mixed nature . Belonging to the Sat Latin family , like their western brethren , they J-8 quick in conceiving , and embrace with activity all new

      » MS , they were among the first to enter tho great _^ wement of the western people , and perhaps surpassed f _% a all by the boldness of their aspirations , by _thesponr- _^ _onsnessand unanimity of which all their revolutionary J & _nifestoes bear the mark . On the other hand , living r ? oagst the nations of the east , they have borrowed from [ fa tbe unbounded faith of Orientals , the belief in a sort _iP _^ _estinatioa ; therefore , when they set to work , they . _^ themselves invincible ; for Providence is ever with _^ ° - Oa ! brothers ; God wills it I Such is the Roumanian's " r- _« T , such his gathering-call . li t ' noar ' whilst speaking of the c » n 3 ternation and inerb CJ the Roumanian reactionnaires , I forgot to men tion an / _option to the general rule in the nerson of Mr .

      •Jje Hjtuse Roumanian Republic. Ttebonin...

      preparing what they call their " affair , " and their work being done as you can imagine , a huis elos , one cannot speak of it . As to those who can work in broad daylight—their governors-I am equally unable to speak of them , for they do nothing . Unless , I tell you , that tbey continue their attestations and proscriptions , and tbat upon the most frivolous pretext . One of the most recent victims of their persecutions is that most honourable man , Mr . Winterbalder , the head of one of the best libraries and printing offices of _Bucharest , who has just been expelled without anv avowed motive , to the great scandal cf the place . All are aware that ia striking him thu *** , his ruin was aimed at for the s . ole pleasure of ruining also h ' 13 partner , whom Mr . Stirbey holds in ill-will , far more for the patriotic and witty letter he has addressed him in exile , than for his having been one cf the most energetic members of tbe provisional government of hi 3 country .

      Unless , I tell you , that they have modified in Wallachia the law which regulates the dealings ( rapports ) between the colons and landowners , by ( which is needless to add ) aggravating the situation of the former . Thej have reestablished capital punishment in Wallachia , where from time immemorial it had ceased to exist , both in criminal and political matters . " Why , " I hear you say , " these facts are of the utmost importance , and you reckon them as nought ' . " Your astonishment would be greater were I to tell you that , in this country , few peasants are landowners and therefore , save a few rare exceptions , are all mere colons . And the law of capital punishment being exclusively intended for conspirators and Revolutionists , cuts off tho head of every Roumanian .

      Nevertheless , my intention was not to mention this , and for an excellent reason ; no one here speaks of it , no one heeds those laws ; for no one believes they will have time to put them into execution , nor do even the _legislators who made them believe it ; therefore do they seem to have nothing on their consciences , no more than if they bad done del ' artpour I ' art , What I am going to relate will give a just idea of these gentlemen ' s minds ; you mnst first know tbat they have laid np a good stock of arms , and have trebled the armed force of the country ; they have procured guns from Belgium and Russia , whereby tbey have well merited of thecountry ; for the Roumanians needed arms ; they bave augmented the army ; have put the gendarmerie on a footing of war ; they have formed a new corps of

      militia borderers ; and thereby also have rendered the country a great service , for it needed a stronger kernal of armed men for the great war which it will soon have to sustain . So true is it that ir . nature there is no insect , no worm , but has its reason for being—its utility . But to the fact : the commission * charged to provide for the armament of the country , had met to hear their reporter . The report read One of the members , famous forthetrade he has exercised during hi 3 long judicial and administrative career , famous above all for the manner in which he defended and justified hi 3 industry , for one day , finding the honesty of his proceedings was questioned , he exclaimed , "Parbleu I if I sell my signature I do hut exercise my profession , for my father taught __ me nothing else butjjmy signature . " I crave pardon for my digression , I needed it to point out

      my man . The report read : This industrious magistrate , honest and moderate man , par excellence , the friend of order , and , therefore , tho sworn enemy of thoso brigands of Revolutionists , who probably prevented his exercising his profession during the Revolution , all beaming with joy , thus spoke to his colleagues : ' a , la bonneheure ! cettefois nous tenons notre affaire ; we are now well armed , let the Revolutionists hold up their heads if they dare ' " Wo have no reason to rejoice , " replied another commissary _, "lam _rather of opinion that we have "just done the moat silly thing we ever did ; for those very men whom we ourselves armed to-day , to-morrow will be * the first in hunting us ; but what can we do ? Decidedly our day is ended . " And e _" very member of tbe commission . repeated , " Yes—tbose very men will be the first * .. in hunting us ......... ye 9 . our day is ended . " Therefore they

      separato in greater consternation than ever , breathing , doubtless , their old sentiment , " Brothers , we must die I " Certainly these good men are quite as honest and moderate as the greater part of the representatives of our so called Republican monarchies , and our Monarchial Republics , as holy as the holy fathers ofthe Vatican , and yet they are to be pitied , so terrible is the fear which has taken hold of them . They undertake the voyage to Paris , solely to pay their court to " tbelRoumanian exiles , their wives explore tbe capitals of Europe , and consult the celebrated somnambulists on the chances of the Revolution ; every morning they relate and interprete their dreams to each other ; they have tbeir fortunes told ; have masses made ; they are in agony . Unhappy creatures . ' if this state of things lasts , they will have expiated their crimes . Enough—perhaps too much tbis time . In my next letter I shall have to talk to you of the Roumanians bejond the Carpathians , whom I visited not long since .

      P . S . —Sews _*( to say the least uulikely ) is just brought me of a secret note which the Princes of Wallachia and Moldavia are said to have addressed to M . Bonaparte , invoking his protection as counterpoise to that of the . Czar . I believe nothing of the sort , yet , should it prove true , you shall be ons of the first to hear of it , and at the same time be informed of the circumstances to which it gave rise .

The followingomitted speech , supposed to be delivered by a return delegate to the late Baltimore Convention , at the New York Ratification Meeting , we now present to our readers . The style resembles that of an ancient orator , but tie matter is quite appropriate . Democrats , fellow-citizens , and spoil-seekers—hear me for my cause ; and be silent , that you may hear . ( Cries of " Go On . " ) Believe me for mine honour , and have respect to mine honour , that you may believe . (" Oh Gas .

( Expressions of dissatisfaction . ) If then that friend demands why I rose against

      Cass , this is my answer—not thit I loved Cass less , but that I loved the spoils more . ( Cheers and hisses . ) Had you rather Cass were nominated and be defeated , than that Cass were sacrificed to let the people crib ? ( Cries of "No Uo , " and strange distortions of countenance . ) As Cass loved me , I weep for him . ( A voice , "Uow don ' t . " ) As he was fortunate , I rejoice at it ; as he was strong with his party , I honour him ; but as he was ambitious , I "boitel" him . ( Murmurs over the house . ) There are tears for his love , honour for his patriotism , and desertion for bis "ambition .

      The " Royal Pasopticos Of Science And Ar...

      THE " ROYAL _PASOPTICOS OF SCIENCE AND ART , " LEICESTER-SQUARE . A Saracenic or Moorish building has just reached its full height on the east side of Leicester-square , and is beginning to excite attention . It is designed for an institution for science and art , under the title of the Panopticon , and is intended to illustrate a wide range of practical usefulness . The council of the Panopticon desire to promote the application of science to the useful arts ; to instruct , by courses of lectures , to bo demonstrated by instruments , apparatus , and other appliances , in the various departments of science and literature ; to exhibit select specimens of work in tbe fine and mechanical arts , manufactures , and handicrafts , to display the productions of nature and art , both British and foreign , to illustrate history , science , and literature , by pictorial views and representations , accompanied by music , and generally to extend and facilitate a greater love and knowledge of tho arts and sciences on tbe part of the public .

      The organ for tbe grand hall is to be as fine an instrument as any in Europe , and has been built by tbe Messrs . Hill , tha constructors of the Birmingham organ , which this ' is to surpass in power . A gigantic electric machine , more than twice the size of aDy other extant , has been successfully finished by Mr . Marmaduke Clarke , the optician . A steam engine of ten-horse power , with a complete shop of mechanical tools , has been supplied by Messrs . Mandslay , Field and Sons , and which are intended to furnish a school for the artizan and mechanical student . _ __

      The patent optical diorama is quite a new invention , and embraces several novel discoveries in optical science . By this instrument scenic representations , exceeding in size anything of the kind , and divested of those chromatic imperfections which are inherent in the dissolving views are to be exhibited . There is Bcareely any movement in nature which may not be represented by tbiB process , and a series of illustrations in a high style of art- are stated to he in the course of preparation . Competent assistants are to illustrate practically , apart from the lectures , the leading features of astronomy , chemistry , optics , and mechanics .

      .— '" '^^^*^^^'^'- » N Election Intellig...

      . — '" _' _^^^*^^^ _' _^ _' _- _» _n ELECTION INTELLIGENCE . FINSBURY . On Monday evening a meeting ot _eleetore of the _Islington district of tbe borough of Finsbury was held at the Denmark-terrace Schools , to promote the re-election ol T . S . Duncombe , Eiq . Tbe chair was occupied by Thos . _Hodgskin , Esq ., and tbe meeting , wbich was " a very crowded one , received Mr . Duncombe wilh the greatest enthusiasm . The _Chairman , in opening the proceedings of the meeting _. _said that there was no opposition to Mr . Duncombe in particular , but if there was he believed that the electors were prepared to return him at the head of the poll . ( Cheers . ) He read a letter from Mr . Bernal Osborne , expressing his regret at not being able to attend the meeting .

      Mr . Wakelisg moved , and Mr . Eur seconded , a reso . lution : — "Tf _* at tbis meeting , highly approving ofthe political principles , and being grateful for the past services of Mr . Duncombe as one of tbe members for this borough , resolves again to return hira at the ensuing election . " Mr . Duncombe then rose and was received with most vociferous cheering—he 6 aid , that if tbe kind feeling which pervaded in that assembly existed through the borough , he did not think that , as regarded himself , there was much necessity for a contest . ( Hear , hear . ) Tbe Chairman bad fold thera that there was to be a contest , but that there was no opposition to him . li he would excuse him tor saying so tbat was a dangerous doctrine to inculcate , ( Cheers . ) He had seen a good deal of electioneering , and if there was one principle more than another which he would inculcate on his friends , it was never to be over sanguine . But he would ask , why should there be a contest against him ? He had been told that his votes and conduct had heen

      satisfactory to the borough—then wby should there he a contest ? It was not consequent on tbe retirement of Mr . Wakley , for there were other candidates in the field before . What did it mean ? Five members , unfortunately , could not sit fyr Finsbury ; although he did not say tbat with 20 , 000 electors it ought not to have five members , for he thought it ought when be looked at _boroughs with two hundred electors returning the same number of member . ( Hear , beat . ) But he _looked at the contest as if , Mr . Wakley had not retired , and he looked at the gentlemen who were in the field , and wbo called themselves reformers —( bear , bear)—as the opponents of their old member . ( Hear , hear . ) He wanted to know what he had done , that they should be brought forward to oppose him ? What complaint was there against him ? The hon . member for Bodmin was one

      of his opponents . ( Cheers and laughter . ) He saw by his address thathe was possessed at the present moment of the confidence of a small but intelligent constituency , but , nevertheless , the electors of Finsbury had sent him such a requisition , they had been so pressing —( cheera and laughter ) —tbat be was about to leave Bodmin and come there . (" Hear , and laughter . ) It was very cruel to seek to deprive Bodmin of such a treasure . ( Hear , and laughter . ) Why not dispense with such a _ireasure , and let hira go back and console his friends , who perhaps might tell another tale , and say to him , " Go back to Finsbury" —and so between two stools , before next week , he weuld come to tlie ground . If anyone had any complaint to make against him as a reformer , let bim stand up and question him . ( Hear , hear . ) It was said by some electors that they wanted a change .

      ( "Hear , '' and a laugh . ) Really if reformers held that language to a man who bad served them faithfully , it was time for every roan who valued his health or his principles to retire from public life . ( Cheers . ) He believed such a wish waa confined only to a few . He heard it said that his opponents had been , very active during the last fortnight , and that he had done nothing , ln answer to that he could say ihat he had beeu attending ( o his parliamentary duties , and be was sure tbat while he was there they would not allow him to be supplanted . ( Cheers and cries of" No . " ) During the last fortnight most important measures bad been passed through parliament in connexion with the metropolis , such as tbe Water Bill , and the Burials Bill ; by dint of tbe metropolitan members sticking to those questions they had at last got good _Tfleasures . Supposing tbat instead oi attending in parliament he had been running up one street arjd down another , like a do ; with a tin : kettle tied to his tail ' , asking for votes , he would have been told that be was unworthy to represent the borough . He had trusted to public opinion ,

      and , if he might be allowed to say so , to publio gratitude . ( Cheers ) He had no object in view in going into parliament but that of serving them . His publio principles -were unchanged , and be believed tbey were unchangeable . Mr . Duncombe concluded by stating that the election would take pla e early next week ; and if , aB had been said , he had been a t . _* ue and faithful representative , he trusted they would prove it by placing him af the head of the poll . { Great cheering . ) Some persons then asked several questions of Mr . Duncombe , but were met with great opposition , the meeting declaring them to be unnecessary . He , however , replied that he had not voted in favour of the grant to Maynooth , and would vote for its repeal , not from any sectarian motives , but because he was opposed to all religious endowments ; neither did ho think the Roman Catholic Emancipation Act was a mistake , and ought to be revised ; and tbat if it depended on his vote few of the working classes should be without the franchise and the right to vote for him at the enBuing election . The resolution was then agreed to unanimously .

      Mr- J . H . Parrv then moved , and Mr . _Hasav Vincest seconded , a motion : —" That for effecting the object now in view , this meeting pledges itself to strenuous exertions to place Mr . Duncombe in that position on the poll which he is entitled to occupy , and also to assist iu returning him free of expense" ; which was also carried . meeting in bloomsbdry , A meeting io promote the election of Mr . Duuoomhe met at tbe Music Hall , Store-street , Bloomsbury , on Tuesday evening . Mr . Duncombo and Mr . Wakley were received with loud applause . J . H . _Pahex , Esq ., having been elected to the chair , briefly addressed tbe meeting .

      Dr . Epfs then moved a resolution to the effect , " That the long and faithful services of Thomas Slingsby Duncombe , Esq ., as representative of the borough , bis uniform and consistent support of the principles of civil and religious liberty , parliamentary reform , commercial freedom , economical expenditure , and local self-government , eminently entitle hiui to the support of the electors ; and this meeting pledges itself to use every exertion in its power to secure his reelection , free of expense . " He said they had always found Mr . Duncombe advocating tbose principles which he now stood up so boldly for . He was one of the few who supported the Reform Bill , at a time when Reform was not popular . He bad opposed the Maynooth Grant ;

      and when the right of publio meeting was assailed in that borough , he then , at the danger of personal arrest , took a prominent part . ( Hear , hear . ) He did the same in the dirty business of opening letters , until at last Sir James Graham was obliged to give way . Such questions as theso so ably advocated should ensure every man heing found at the poll on the morning of the election , and prove that no stranger had a chance of taking Finsbury by storm . He could not conclude without naming one more great deed of Mr . Duncombe ' s—it was his advocacy of the liberties of modern Rome , and his able defence of the glorious Mazzini . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Maclaren seconded the resolution .

      Mr . Rooeks , Chancery barrister ( a Conservative ) , supported the resolution . The resolution was put from the chair , and carried by acclamation . Mr . Duncombe , on rising , was received with loud cheers . So much had been said in his favour that there remained but little for him to add . . The last , session had been a half and half one . Ono bad measure had , he regretted , been passed—he alluded to the Militia Bill . This bill had been most strenuously opposed by himself and his colleague , Mr . Wakley . ( Cheers . ) He believed that the effect of this measure would be not only an expense to the country , but ' ,

      instead of the militia being called out to protect the people , it would be necessary to call out tho police to put down the militia . ( Cheers . ) As to Protection , it existed only in name , and he believed tbat any attempt to reimpose a tax on the food of the people would be met by the _unmistakeable protest of the unenfranchised millions of this country . While he had the support of his old friends he felt that there was no fear that he would be at tbe head of the poll on the day of election , in spite of Toryism o Bodminism , and notwithstanding the influence of either the Mansion-house , the Great Globe , or the _brewhouse . ( Mueh cheering . )

      Mr . Wakley was then loudly called for , and stood forward amidst great cheering . He thanked them for their warm greeting ; although hia political connexion would cease , he hoped to serve tbem again . ( Hear . ) He did not consider tbere was one man in the field worthy to be termed an opponent of Mr , Duncombe . What ho had to ask was , that tbose votes which were intended for him should be given to Mr . Duncombe . ( Cheers . ) The meeting , which was graced by the presence of many ladies , separated , having previously passed a vote of thanks to the chairman .

      Marylebone. On Monday Evening A Public M...

      MARYLEBONE . On Monday evening a public _meeting of the electors of this borough , registered in the parish of St . Pancras , was held at the Vestry-hall , King _' _s-rOad _, Camden Town , for the purpose of taking steps to secure the re-election of Sir Benjamin Hall . Bart ., and Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart , as members for the borough . . Mr . W . Bii _/ Lett , churchwarden , occupied the chair , and observed that the course which had been pursued by the present member ? for tbe borough had been such as to entitle them to the good opinion of all who appreciated the benefits derived from an honest and independent system of representation .

      Mr . T . E . Bakeb proposed , and Mr . Dike seconded , a resolution to the effect : — " That the conduct of Sir Benjamin HaU and Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart , as representatives for ( he borough of Marylebone , eminently entitles them to a renewal of the confidence of the constituency within the parish of St . Pancras . " Some discussion took place , in the . course of which , Mr . Cooper observed that the conduct of tbe hon . gentlemen as representatives of the borough , had far exceeded the estimate he had formed of thera before they went into the house . He was one who formerly opposed Lord Dudley Stuart at public meetings ; but since he had represented the

      Marylebone. On Monday Evening A Public M...

      borough of Marylebone , the electors could not mention any occasion on which he had given a vote contrary to their wishes or expectations . The resolution was unanimously agreed to . Mr . D . Frazer then moved , and Mr . Stock' . on seconded : — "That Sir B . HaU and Lord Dudley Stuart having for so long a period faithfully and _hononraWy _oiscWged their duties to their constituents , tbis meeting approved of the principle of returning those gentlemen to parliament at the ensuing election free of expense to themselves . The motion was carried , and was followed by a resolution ( proposed by Mr . Hilles , and seconded by Mr . _Fuuness ) : — " That a Committee be formed for tha purpose of ensuring the return of those candidates at the ensuing election , and to co-operate with other committees for that object . " It was then resolved— " That a subscription he opened in furtherance of the foregoing object , " and the business terminated with a vote of thanks to the Chairman .

      STOKE-UPON-TRENT . When the General Election occurs the contest in this _borou " h will assuredly be a fierce one . Alderman _Copeland _, the Tory candidate , and one of the sitting members , is opposed by the Hon . F . L . Gower , brother to Earl Granville , who comes forward on the Liberal interest , in conjunction wi'h J . Lewis Ricardo , the other member . The desire to oust the _Aldermria is strong amongst the _people , as he has avowed himself au admirer of the Derby government , has ever been neglectful of his parliamentary duties , and is

      pledged to oppose the B : illot . Although an aristocratic , Gower is in favour of Vote by Ballot , and it is chiefly on this ground that he is tbe more popular candidate . The _intimidation on the part of Copeland and his Tory friends towards the electors is of the most insolent and disgraceful character . It is said that a large manufacturer at Longport has threatened to dismiss any one of his hands who shall dare to vote against Copeland , or in any way endeavour to promote the return of Ricardo and Gower . Even neutrality is tobe punished in the same manner . As the authorities anticipate a riot , they have ordered mi litary to be stationed close at hand !—Correspondent .

William O'Brien Fitzgerald , alias William Bennett Sothers , underwent hig trial for Obtaining various sums of money to the extent of £ 870 from a gentleman named Payne , a solicitor at Dover , under fraudulent pretences . The case excited very great interest , nnd amongst those on the beneh was the Right Hon . the Earl of Carlislo . Tho prisoner had the appearance of a foreigner , and waa well attired . His wife claimed the title of Lady Emily Fitzgerald , and represented that she was tho widow of Count Eltz—that her mother was related to theninthDuke of Norfolk , and her name was Lady Ann Isabella Howard , and that her father was General William O'Brien Fitzgerald , of the Guards , Suoh statements were false . Tho prisoner was formerly a member of the Stock Exchange . Some four or five years ago the prosecutor was

      residing with his children at Eyethorne , and while there he became acquainted with the prisoner and his wife . In tbe course of fast August he received a letter from them . Both were confined in a prison at Pau , in the south of France , at the base of the Pyrenees . The letter stated tbat tbey had fallen into an awful predicament , from the negligence of their agent , who had failed to remit them £ 3 , 000 ; tbat they had tbe misfortune to lose 1 , 800 francs on their journey ; and that about £ 400 would set thera right . The prosecutor proceeded to the continent , and found them prisoners , as they had described , in the prison of Pau . He took instructions from them there as to their family connexions . They stated that Lady Emily was the daughter of Lieutenant-General Sir William O'Brien Fitzgerald , formerly of the Oiiards . Ac . and

      that they were known to the Earl of Carlislo and the Duke of Sutherland .

      The Commons' ammendments in tbe Patent Law Amondment Bill wero agreed to , and the Sew Zealand _government Bill was read a third time and passed . ine Suitors in Chancery Relief Bill was read a third time and passed , and tho Commons' amendments in the Th ° _mT 1 * ° _f Jurisdiction in Equity Bill wero agreed to . _andSJ ? 2 W _' _vi ? ,, riaU Bm P assed thro ,, S committee , S _J _! _S _11 _SSS _! _M ' _, { _™ a 8 ta _^ after hteb TUESDAY _Jnvp'O _ibfvlll'l 5 _V _> _fe _IWM Suspension , the Militia Pay , the Nisi Prius Officers , the Metropolis Water Supply tbe Metropolitan Burials , the Board of Health , and the Pimlico Improvement Bills were read a third time and passed , and several _oth-n * bills _havin" been forwarded a stage , ° Their lordships adjourned at a ' quarter past seven o clock .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . - The Speaker took the chair at twelve o ' olock . Lord D . Stuart put a question in reference to the case of Mr . Murray . Thr Chancellor of the _Excueqvf . _* r _, in reply , stated that the matter was in the hands of Sir H . Bulwer , who would use his beat exertions to obtain information as to the evidence on wliich Mr . Murray had been condemned , but there were reasons why such information should not be laid before tho house ; and in reference to tbe outrage on Mr . Mather , of which Lord D . Stuart had also spoken , he added tbat Sir II . Buliver had obtained from the Tuscan governmen t a full recognition of its responsibility to protect British subjects resident within its territory . "

      Sn > H . Yekhey , on behalf of Mr . Anstey , moved a resO ' jution declaring that the rights of British subjects resident in foreign countries to the continued protection of tbeir own government had been violated in the persons of Messrs . v \ mgate , Smith , and Edwards , the Scotch missionaries , who were expelled from the Austrian dominions , and calling for prompt and earnest measures on the part of ministers . Mr . D . Kinnaird seconded the motion . The _Oiiancemor of the Exchequer said that the present government , in admitting tho right of Austria to decide what extent of religious toleration should be allowed in her own territory , had followed the policy of their predecessors . Tho claim for compensation ma ' de by the two expelled ministers had been disputed by Austria , and the items , on examination , were found indefensible ; but any just demand , supported by facts , would bo urged by our minister on tho attention of the Austrian government .

      Lord Palmerston considered that aa negotiations wero still pending , the assertions contained in the resolution could not be sustained , and recommended its withdrawal . _Jiothing was more conducive to the maintenance of peace and the protection of British subjects residing abroad , than that questions of this kind , when they arose , should ba brought under _discussion , and that foreign governments should know that if the government of tho day might be indisposed to press for redress , the House of Commons would not allow the matter to rest . That Lord Westmoreland had not done all that he might have done , was , ho thought , consequent on tho restraint imposed upon him from quarters to which he was obliged _tfc yield . Messrs . Wingate and Smith bad been cruelly and tyrannically used , and he was _altoeether- incredulous as to the justification that they had violated Austrian law . The house then adjourned nt four o ' clock . WEDNESDAY , June 30 .

Mather . — The Earl of Malmesdury laid before the house the conclusion of the Mather correspondence , and stated that the dispute had been satisfactorily settled by the ability and tact of Sir nenry Bulwer . The House of Commons was then summoned to the bar , and the Royal Assent was given by commission to ninetysix bills . Some other business was also despatched , and the house adjourned . IIOUSE OF COMMONS . —The houso met at half-past one o ' clock .

      Affairs of _JfEUFcnATBL . —Mr . Duncombe presented a petition from certain Swiss _residents , and others , in this country , complaining of the conduct of Prussia in interfering with the affairs of Neufchatel , whom , the petitioners state , is supported by the present government of England , and the Emperors of Russia and Austria , and that such conduct on the part of England renders the present Administration unworthy of the confidence of both the Crown and Parliament , and praying that the house would address her Majesty to refuse her signature to all treaties with foreign powers until the house shall have investigated the matters charged in the petition ; also two petitions from , Finsbury , against taxes on knowledge . Thb Case of De Rose , —Lord D . Stuart moved for a copy of the depositions taken at Gosport , in the easo of Leopold de Rose , who was sentenced to imprisonment with hard labour in November last on a charge of begging . Mr . H . Berkeley seconded the motion .

      Sir W . Jolliffe said that no representation of the matter had been made to tho Home offioe , where it would have received the fullest investigation , which he promised should be immediately instituted . Lord Palmerston thought the case was deserving of the most minute investigation , and hoped that the government would redeem the pledge » ow given . Lord D . Stuart , upon this understanding , withdrew hia motion . The house adjourned at four o ' clock .

      Prorogation Of Parliament. Thursday, Jul...

      PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT . THURSDAY , July 1 st . Each Annual repetition of the ceremony of the _prorogation of parliament presents so little diversity from its predec ssors , that there is now little left to be said of it . The Queen left Buckingham Palace about two o'clock in the state carriage , preceded by the officers of the household and ladies in waiting . The cortege took the usual route , and arrived at the Victoria Tower , by which the Queen entered the house , at about a quarter _piat two . After the ceremony , the Queen returned to Buckingham Palace in the same manner .

      THE QUEEN'S SPEECH . My Lords and Gentlemen , I ara induced , by considerations of public policy , to release you at an earlier period than usual from jour legislative duties . The zeal and diligence , however , with which you have applied yourselves to your parliamentary labours , have enabled me , in this comparatively short session , to give my assent to many measures of high importanco _, « and , I trust , of great permanent advantage . I receive from all Foreign Powers assurances that they are animated by the most friendly dispositions towards this countrv ; and I entertain a confident hope tbat tbe amicable relations happily subsisting between the principal European states may be so firmly established as , under Divine Providence , to secure to the world a long continuance of the blessings of Peace . To this great end my attention will be unremittingly directed .

      I rejoice that the final settlement of the affairs of Holstein and Schleswig , by the general concurrence of the powers chiefly interested , has removed one cause of reoent difference and or future anxiety .. The amicable termination of the discussions " which haWj taken place between the Sublime Porte and tbe Pacba of Egypt affords a guarantee for the tranquillity of the East , and an encouragement to the extension of commercial en * terprise . The refusal on the part of tho King of Ava , of redress , justly demanded for insults and injuries offered to my

      subjects at Rangoon , has necessarily led to an interruption of friendly relations with that Sovereign . The promptitude and vigour with which the Governor . General of India has taken the measures thus rendered unavoidable , bave merited my entire approbation ; and I am confident that you wiil participate in the satisfaction with whioh I have observed tho oonduot of tbe naval and military forces , European and Indian , l > y whose valour and discipline the important captures of Rangoon and Martaban have been accomplished ; and in the hope which I entertain that these signal successes may lead to an early and honourable

      peace . Trea'iea have heen concluded by my naval commanders with the King of Dahomey and all . the African chiefs whose rule extends along the Bight of Benin , for the total abolition of the Slave Trade , which is at preaent wholly suppressed upon that ooast . I have had great satisfaction in giving my assent to tha measure which you nave wisely adopted for the better organisation ofthe Militia ; a constitutional force , whieh being limited to purposes of internal defence , can afford no just ground of jealousy to neighbouring Powers ; but which , in the event of any sudden and unforeseen disturbance of my foreign relations , would at all times contribute essentially to the protection and security of my dominions . Gentlemen of the House of C jmmons , I thank you for the liberal provision which you have made for the exigencies of the public service . The expenditure which you have authorised shall bo applied with a due regard to economy and efficiency . The recent discoveries of extensive gold-fields have

      produced , in the Austrian Colonies , a temporary disturbance of society , requiring prompt attention . I have taken such steps as appoared to me most urgently nece ' _essary for the mitigation of this serious evil . I shall continue anxiously to watch the important results which must follow from , these discoveries , I have willingly concurred with you ia an Act , which , by rendering available to the service of those Colonies , the . portion arising within them , of the Hereditary Revenue placed at the disposal of parliament on my accession to the Throne , may enable them tb meet their necessarily increased expenditure .. My Lords and Gentlemen , I have gladly assented to the important Bills which yoa have passed for effeoting reforms long and anxiously desired in the practice and _proooedings of the Superior Courts of Law and Equity , and generally for improving the administration of justice . Every me _asu _* e which simp _iuesttie forms nnd diminishes the delay and _expenie of legal proceedings , without introducing uncertain _^ of decision , imp _iring the
