There h as been a revolution in Nepaul ; but . Orh things hare been loo common in that country S late toadmitofamere quictandblcodlesschange of rukn being looked on erenasa nine days ™ n-5 The history of this erentis bnefly as follows :-fte Maharajah , as onr reader * may remember , came » me time aio to Benares , as much , perhaps , fee-Suilt waTinconTehient for him to stay at Kat-Soo . where his wife was supreme , as for tte purwse of performing his devotions in the sacred river . & sSe at Benares some time , he left that 5 ty ! ost «« ibly forthe purpose of returning to his SfiteL Butit appeatshe never got further than to * place called Segowlee , in the British territories , bnt near the frontier of * epaul . Thence it seems he sent messengers to Katmandoo , calling on the army and tbe principal men of the country to imprison or tffl the Minister Jung Bahadoor and all h * i 3 family .

      Oa this the chiefs assembled , and after consultation cane to the conclusion that his Majesty was not of rig ht mind . They accordingly determined todepose him and to place the heir-apparent on the throne . This resolution was immediately carried into effect , and a letter was sent to the old King dgned by all the principal men . informing him of what had been done , recounting his misdeeds , censuring him for his nilhcrawal fromhispeopleand country , and reprobatingjhis order for the destruction of a worthy man and his ancient family . The substitution of one Kin ? for scotlier , thus qmetly effected , will in ho way aff-ct the relations between the British Indian GoTern-HjentaBd that of Nepaul . 'From the Punjab we hear that the Govenwr-Gencral . seeing that the people of flazvehare net likely ever to submit quietly to the rule ofGholab Sineb .

      'From Cabal the latest * news received is to about tfce middle of May . Dost Mahcmed had returned from hi 3 campaign among the insurgent Gti ' zies . His Highness seems to have incurred the displeasure of many of Us chiefs , including his son , Wuzscr Ukbar Khan , by his supposed leaning towards an alliance with the British . It appears that an affray had takan place between the Knssilbashcs and the rest of the towns-people , in which seventy or eighty oen were killed and wounded . The result has not yet transpired . ' The Calcutta Star gives the following account ol the depredations of the noted robber Doon ^ ur Sin » h : 'Dsongnr Sinyh , the freebooter of Ajmeer , has broken oat again . It -was thought that he had been driven ont ef the country , but the Teport that the

      Sbekawattee cavalry were to be disbanded , the corps that chased him ont of his usual bounty , drew him out of his fastnes-es . He plundered two Ivafibs ; worth , the oce 50 . 000 rupees , and the other 13 , 000 . according to report . And since that , an act far more daring than anything , except his own escape from the Agra gaol , has startled the whole country . On the ISth of June an attack was made upon the Pay office at Nusserabad by a party of 33 me 309 men , abont midnight . The place was guarded by , a havildar and seventeen men , and was in the immediate neighbourhood ofa large military station . The dacoits came up from the rear of the Cistsnments , were challenged by a sentry , said they were going to the Ajmere fair , passed on , rushed up 3 nd cut down both sentries , got into the guard , and

      disabled them before they could get on tear arms . Six men were killed outright . The treasury was then broken open , and after being plundered of 27 , 000 rs ., was burnt to the ground , with all the O 3 oks . papers , £ c . To conceal iheir numbers an incessant fire was kept up at all points . Oar troops tumid immediately out of cantonments , with loaded arms , and doubled up to the scene of action , but on tbeir arrival they found the villains had absconded , the treasury in a blaze . and the guard lying disabled , weltering in their blsod , the heads of some nearly severed from their bodies , and their bodies hideously mangled . Five companies were instantly despatched in parsuit , but as no cavalry were available , snd the robbers were well mounted , the chace was soon given ever . One party tound a few bags ef money dropped ; believed to be about 2 . 000 reals , and also some fire .

      arms . Bombay has been the scene of a fire , which lor a moment threatened to reduce the fort , but it was happily got under . CHINA . A Colombo Times , extra , of the 15 th July ( Isle of € ey ! on ) . contains a very alarming rtunonr with regird to the relations of this country with Chica . and sue which derives considerable probability from the recent rash conduct of Sir John Davis , the governor ofHongKong . The report is , that the attack on the Bogue Forts had ' roused a desperate spirit of hostility against all foreigners , bnt especially the EnsHsh . and had led to a general rising of the people of CaBton against them . The report further states that the consuls had been compelled to leave Canton and that the Europeans were preparing to follow tii ? in .

      The above news is said to have tseenbronght to C jlombo by the Haddington steaaer , -which received it from the captain of a vessel who had been despatched to Calcutta for troops to reinforce the garrison of Hong Konz . AUSTRALIA . Xew Socth Wiies . — The new 3 from this colony is to the 13 th of April . Peremptory orders had been received to redece the military force there to a single regiment . In future two regiments are to be statkeed in Van Dieroen ' s Land , and two in New

      Zealand . The 53 th foot was to proceed to New Zealand early in May . Orders had been received to revoke the patent for forming the new colony of North Australia ; £ 20 , 000 Lad already been expended 02 it . The tide of emigration continued to set in strong from Van Diemen's Lacdto Svdnev and Fort Philip . Vak Diemes's Lisa . —The governor had issued a circular to the magistracy , with a view to ascertain their views respecting the continuance of transportation to the colony . South ArsiHMJA . —We have received favourable

      sports of progress both in mining and agricultural operations from this cotony . FRANCE . The murder of the Ducnesa ofPraslin , full partifluara of which will be found in another column , has -bean the principal topic of Parisian news for many days past . Tie yatimal declares ttat the crime of the Duke « Pras'in is but part and iparcel of the wide-spread ttrrnption and immorality which pervade all the higher classes in France , and of which we have had soadry striking examples wi-hin the last few months in the trials before the Court of Peers and the de-- btma the Chamber of Deputies .

      Most of the opposition journals have commented °£ this horrible act in a similar manner , and in continence , four of their number namely , the' Reforme , ' the 'Gazette de France , the 'Union « ocarchique , ' and the * Charivari , " were all seized at their offices , and at the post-office . These seizures hsxe excited Immense sensation . The Natiaial , in reply to the Journal des Dehals , denies tkat the party which it represents had charged the Ministers with having , by their policy , furnished the assassin with arms , or with having said that the Ministers were guilty of having produced the revolting depravity of morals revealed by the crime of the Duke of Praslin . ' What we said , aud what we re-Beat , ' adds the National , 1

      h that the society you have composed round you betrays its morals and its ideas by its acts , and that those acts are hideous . Have you Ministers no share ia that ? Look at the examples given by you and the doctrines you have inculcated . As Ministers , you have regarded truth as a mockery . As governors , you have been influenced by a factious spirit . 1 cu , Mag corrupt , could maintain yourselves solely by corruption . Ton csnld not exist but by denying your faith in great actions .

      T . SPAIN . iheQueenhas rctumedtoMadridfroni La Granja , nut the expected reconciliation between herself and nusband appears as remote as ever . Hitherto there Has been no meeting of the royal couple . The King TO *" . 1 * 3 at El Pardo , and the Queen at the palace in flii j * Moderado and Afranccsado papers are nlled wita insinuations against the Queen , and with raise of Don Francisco ' s moderation . They are merely laying the foundation for further proceedings against the unhappy Isabella . The surprise of Fragain Lower Aragonby the

      , , facciosos , has been followed by an equally grave event in Catalonia . ' On the 11 th forty dowmkrs stationed at Figueras , went over to the Cariista . They took with them their best clothing and arms and ammunition . Thk defection had evidently been prepared beforehand , and there are good reasons for supposing that several Montemolinist asents , who were suspected of being in Gerona and Figuoras a tew days ago , have been successfully tampering with the troopB ; so we shall probably hear of further revolts .

      A last attempt made to reconcile the Queen and Xing-consort has failed . The conditions demanded by the King were , the removal from Madrid of General Serrano , of Ventura de la Vega , the Qaeen ' s private secretary , and of General Ros de Oiaue , both of whom are known to be the confidential friends of the first-named ; and that when this was done , a space of four months should elapse before he returned : othe society of the Queen . 1 was disposed to refrain from alluding more particularly to the motives said to have been alleged for insisting on this last condition , because I thought it scarcely possible that the King could have stated them ( though it is positively asserted he did ) , and because they were of a character the most insulting to her Majesty . His return to his consort after thatlapse of time was not sven assured—it was made ( so the rumour ran ) to depend ou a certain contingency .

      The effect produced by the publication of this report ia the semi-official organ ha 3 been great indeed . While sympathy is awakened in every manly bosom in favour of a helpless , unprotected woman , indignation is roused against the unscrupulous and heartless man , who , not content with what he has already done , now destroys the reputation of his own niece preparatory to pilfering her crown . His agents have well done their work . On second consideration I feel that it would be false delicacy to conceal or pas 3 over the opinion of the public on the infamous transaction just recorded . It is now five months since the dismissal of the Sotomayor Ministry , and the temporary concealment of General Serrano , who wa 3

      restored to liberty by their successors' . It wa 3 then that the rumours of his extreme intimacy with the Palace were first circulated . It was then that ho was first made an object of idolatry by the Duke of Gluksberg . Five months and four , which hi 3 French advisers have suggested as a delay to the King , make nine . What they expect will take place at the end of nine months all understand . The plot was infernal ! The infamous , the detestable Egalite never half so well deserved the guillotine as the man who could have thu 3 coldly and deliberately planned the ruin of a child who , whatever she now may be , was then at least confiding and innooent . —Correspondent of the Times .

      PORTUGAL . We have news from Lisbon to the 10 th . In reply to the collective note of the intervening powers , demanding the dismissal of the ministers , the latter sent an appeal to the governments of England and France . It was thought that such a step would be looked upon by the British Minister for Foreign Affairs as an evasive answer , and that the immediate withdrawal of the British squadron would be the consequence . The ' Government' says the JVmcs . corrPspondent ' is anxious tofortify its position , whi < -his threatened by the desertion of the allies on the one hand , and

      by a fresh revoltjrfthe democrats or the Cabralists on the other , has resolved to increase the number of its army immediately by 10 , 000 men . But it will find immense difficulty in carrying this recrutamtnto into effect , and the moneyed difficulty will , 1 think , be insuperable . The present tactique of the Democratic Opposition 13 to endeavour , by all means in its power , toobtain the victory in the coming elections , and , if defeated there , to have again recourse to arms . No period for holding these elections , which were to take place , under the third condition of the protocol ' without delay , 'has yet been fixed .

      A serious Fchism has taken place between the Ca . bralist 3 and Chartists of Lisbon , which will be in favour ot the Democrats at the elections .

      SWITZERLAND . An important debate took place on the 16 th in the Swiss Diet , on the subject of the revision of the Federal Pact . The discussion was long and animated , and the result , which was favourable to the revision ef the Pact , shows the progress the question has mr . de in public opinion . In former years the proposition was always rejected by a large majority . A committee ^ consisting of fourteen members , was nominated with the mission to prepare a report , and to . give a preliminary opinion as to a project of revision . _ The members of this commission—M . Och-Fenbein , M . Farror , M . Blnmer , M . Mnnziger , M . Sarrazln , M . Bachestein , M . Naff , M . Frey-Herwe , M . Hern , M . Luvini , M . Druey , &c , are , as a matter of course , radicals . The cantons of the Sonderbund abstained from voting .

      The Swiss Federal Gazette announces that the majority of the Swisa Diefc has jast fixed a delay of a fortnight for the Sonderbund to destroy all the forts that it has raised , on pain of a vote from the Vorort for their destruction by the federal troops . The Swiss Diet appears disposed to retaliate on M . Guizot for the recent attack which he made on the liberal party in the chamber . It will ba recollected that there is a boundary question of old standing unsettled between France and the confederacy By the treaty of Vienna , the Valley of the Dappes , which ha 3 been included by France in the department of the Ain , was adjudged by right to the canton of Vaud . The subject has , on former occasions , been several times brought forward in the federal

      legislature , and successively postponed from various accidental causea . On the 18 th , M . Dancv , the deputy of Vaud , however , expressed his opinion that the present time was very opportune for pressing the just demand of the canton for the recovery of its territory , and since the cabinet of the Tuileries has shown such anxiety to interfere in the affairs of Switzerland , and to invoke the treaty of Vienna , it ought to be glad to set an example of the cheerful observance of that treaty , by restoring to the canton of Vaud a country which undoubtedly belongs to it . On the question being put to the vote the decision was unanimously adopted that the Vorort should be empowered to make the demand on France .

      On the 19 th the Diet commenced the discussion ot the affairs ef the convents of theArgau . Many deputies declared that they would not again enter upon a subject which they considered terminated . The deputy for Ar ^ au , in the name of the canton , which he represented , said that he and his constituents were satisfied to leave matters as they now are , and that no one in Argaa wished for the restoration of the convents , with the exception of the clergy , who had a pecuniary interest in the matter . Several motions and counter-motions were made upon this subject , all leading to the re-e 3 tablishment of the convents , but thev wereall rejected by a considerable majority .

      ITALY . IMPORTANT NEWS . A letter from Bologna brings the following highly interesting news : — ' An cstafette has just arrived here from Ferrara . lie brought a despatch for Cardinal Amat , and tiien centinned his journey to Rome . The despatch announces that our eternal enemies the Austrians took possession , en the 13 th . of all the barriers of the town and the principal buildings , with the exception of the palace of the Cardinal Legate and the prisons . This act of aggression was done suddenly and by armed force . Cardinal Ciacchi could only oppose a feeble resistance in the shape of a second protest . The Austrian troops marched regularly into the town , leaving detachments of from thirty to forty men at different posts under the command of an officer . Austrian cannon was then drawn up iu the public squares ,

      patrols paraded the streets , and the city in fact was regularly occupied by the military . Bridges of boats have been constructed on the Po , ammunition ha ? arrived , and more troops are expected . The excitement created by this news at Bologna may be easily imagined . Crowds assembled ia the streets , and before the palace of Cardinal Amat , who it was thought { would publish a proclamation to calm the public mind . Arrests have taken place at Modena . They were looked upon aa a pretext given to Austria to advance towards Bologna and Tuscany . Every one is anxiously awaiting to know how the French government will act . ' Tb . 8 Constitution ^ says : — 'It appears that ( the object of the late conspiracy at Rome was to seize on the person of Pius IX ., and to carry him off to Subiaco , towards the Neapolitan frontier , where he was to have been kept aa a hostage by the cardinals . Five hundred carabineers were for that purpose to hav 9 spread terror ihrousa Rome , fey felling on the

      population , on the night of July 17 . throwing about maammable matters , and setting fire to the haystores of Ciceronaochio / ' fhe following is the second pro'ost of the Cardinal Legate of Ferrara , above allnded to : — ' In the most holy name of God , in the Pontificate of Pius IX ., and the second year of his reign , at Ferrara , on this Friday , the 13 th day of Ausust , * Si 7 : —I , Dr Elisco Moati , Pontifical notary-public , residing at Ferrara . oa receiving orders from the Cardinal Legate of that town , proceeded to the Palaee which is tho seat of the government , and there R took down the following protest dictated to me bv the moat Rev . Cardinal Louis Ciacchi , Apostolic Legate for the city and province of Ferrara : — ' Notwithstanding the protest which I addressed on the 8 th instant to Lieut .-Marshal Count

      Auesperg , commanding , in the name of the Emperor of Austria , the fortress and Imperial troops , relative to Austrian patrols going through the town , a protest which I considered it my duty to communicate to the superior government , by whom it was approved of , as appears from a despatch received from the Secretary of State , a military deputation came before ire today at noon , with an almost meBacing aspect , and handed me a notice written by the hand of tho said Lieutenant-Marshal , declaringthat' a despatch from Milan , of his Excellency the General-in-Chief Count Radetski , dated August 11 , 1847 , gavehim apositive order , to occupy the principal post ef that place , as well as the gates of the city of Ferrara ; that being decided on in confermitv with the nrincinlesof

      military service , and in perfect accord with our undoubted right , ' that occupation has been carried into execution this day atone o ' clock in the afternoon ; and as \ consider this act to be a manifest violation of the sacred rights which his Holiness and tho Holy See possess over tho city and province of Fcirara , and not being willing by roy silence to in any way prejudice these rights , I , in my quality of representstive of the Holy See in the said city and province , < lo ..-ereby protest formally against ihe occupation which has just been effected . 1 declare it to bo altogether illegal and arbitrary , and causing prejudice to the dominion and sovereignty of the Holy See over its states . I protest with so much the more reason against this act , that it has been executed without any conduct , either on the part of the government or of the inhabitants , having served asamotivofor it , ana because it took place in tho epen day , when there were most persons abroad , with public offence to the

      political government and to tne troops which were peaceably occupying the different posts , ami in fine of the most menacing and abrupt manner , so that there was scarcely time to give notice of the said intention to the pontificial officers in command oi these posts . ' ' This is what his Eminence protested in the most formal manner , ordering that the original of this protest be preserved in my registers , and that copies be sent to the Secretary of State , to the Austrian military commander , and to this apostolic legation , in perpetual memory of the fact . Executed , read , and made public by me , in a clear and intelligible , voice , at the Chateau of Ferrara , in the presence of the following creditable witnesses .

      . Eusio Mom , Doctor of Laws , Notary ; demanded to draw up the above act . The publication of the protest of CardiEal Ciacchi at Rome , with that approbation given to it- by the Pope , produced in that city the utmost exasperation . The protest was immediately printed , and sold in tens of thousands by hawkers through the streets . In a supplement , * pub ] islied on the occasion by the Cotemporanco , that journal says , We need not praise this document . It needs no comment . The intelligence of our fellow-citizens will supply the place of all comment , and we can add nothing to tho praise wnich all Rome gives to Cardinal Ciacchi , who has known how , by an act of firmness and dignity , to defend the inviolablerights of the sovereign ai , d tho pontificial states . Glory to the legate ! Glory to the Secretary of State who identifies himself so well with the prince ! Immortal glory to Pius IX ., to whom the state will owe its independence !'

      The Nuremberg correspondent of tho 19 tli gives a letter from Rome dated the 10 th , in which it is affirmed that on the 8 th two individuals were arrested , who acknowledged that before leavingFabriano they had been confessed and absolved , and that they had started for Rome , supplied with twenty scudi each , to assassinate Ciceronacehio and a high fanciiouary of stats . The same journal gives , under the same date , that the judge of Cosenza , in Calabria , on whom tho populace desired to tike vengeance for having condemned to death the brothers Bandiera , was tied upon an ass , and after being thus driven round the town , was flayed alive !

      GERMANY . Accounts from Vienna to the 11 th inst . state that great alarm was felt at the excitement that prevailed at Lemburg . Reinforcements have been ordered to march to the Italian frontier , consisting of the 4 th regiment of Clievaux-legere and two battalions of infantry . A squadron of cavalry 1 m 3 been ordered from Hungary into Middle-Austria , and orders have been sent to a cavalry regiment to be ready to advance towards the Italian frontier at a moment ' s notice .

The accounts from Constantinople of the 7 th inst . state that the Divan continued to occupy itself seriously with the situation of Albania . The insurrection , it appears , was daily gaining ground , but as yet no engagement had taken place between the rebels and the Ottoman troops . Upper and Lower Albania were both in arms against the Porte , the insurgents of the former being commanded by Zeinel Bey , and those of the latter by Djouleka . Tho Turkish General was awaiting the arrival of reinforcements and of the blockading squadron to commence operations .

      UNITED STATES . The Sarah Sands , screw steamer , Captain Thompson , arrived » i ' Liverpool Tuesday morning , having sailed from New York on tlio 4 th inst ., and being thns rather under 18 days on her passage . The most contradictory reports continued to be received from tho seat of war , and it had not yet been ascertained whether General Pierce had a battle with the Mexicans at National Bridge or not . The skirmish of Colonel deRussey with the Mexicans at Huquetia , and his successful retreat , were confirmed . Santa Anna , according to accounts received

      from the city of Mexico , was favourably inclined to peace , but many regarded the movements towards peace made by the Mexican government merely as so many ruses de guerre of Santa Anna to gain time . On the part ot the United States , it is now known that M . Triat is provided with full powers t > make a treaty , that the British Minister of Mexico had tried to bring about a negotiation , and had sent his Secretary of Legation from the city of Mexico to General Scott , and it was c&nfideiitly rumoured that the latter had delayed his advance on tho capital in consequence .

      Mr O'Connor moved another amendment , as follows : — That a Loan Fund be established for the purpose of aiding poor ocou ^ anta on the Company ' s estate , and that all parties receiving loans shall give the following security to tho Company ; that is , that a Committee of Inquiry shall be appointed in each district by a majority of tho shareholders in that district , who Bhall recommend the deserving parties who require a loan , under arrangements to bo annexea , en the following conditions : that is to sny , that tho Committee of Inquiry shall receive a promissory note , at such date as shall bo decidod upwn , i ' rom two to ! - vent persons in the district , and being paid up shareholders ; the interest to bo £ 5 per cent .

Mr Uumpuikes said it wa 3 a question that had been much discussed by his constituents , and as Mr O Connor ' s proposition would be the best calculated to meet their views , he would support that motion . Mr Grassby moved , ' That a committee ba appointed to draw up rules and regulations for the establishment of a Loan Fund . Mr Linnet thought persons of unimpeached and unimpeachable character would find it difficult to obtain security . Mr John Siuw withdrew his amendment .

      Mr O'Connor ' s motion was carried unanimously .

      Mr Martin Judb , seconded by Mr Wild , moved'That a Loan Fund he established by the pavment of ono shilling from each itember , the same to be deposited in the National Land and Labour Bank , and that tho directors be empowered to advance Loans on the security set forth in Mr O'Connor ' s resolution . Mr Wiieeler supported Mr Rankin ' s motion , Mr O'Connor thought Mr Rankia ' s the best , and that tho directors should make a report to the Company . Mr Wild said , he would rather that Mr Jude had made his proposition sixpence per member . Mr Donovan did not see the necessity of levying fresh taxes—where those iu existence would meet the circumstances , and hence he would support Mr Rankin ' a motion .

      Mr Clark did not think the Expense Fund could be relied on alone , and hence- he would support Mr Webb ' a proposition . ^ Mr O'Coakor said , the proposition relative to tho Expense Fund would meet present circumstances , and tuoy would have another Conference before other circumstances would arise . After a few words from Mr Taylor , the question was put to the vote , and Mr Rnnkin's motion was carried by a great majority .

      LIMITATION OF THE NUMBER OP MEMBERS IS THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . Mr Donovan moved— ' That in the opinion of this Conference , the present Company is quite extensive enough , and that tho directors have more to do than vre can reasonably expect five individuals to perform , therefore , no new members can be admitted after tho first day of September , lSif . ' Seconded by Mr Nuttall . Mr T . Clahk could not agree with tho motion ; other institutions were in existence numbering more than the Land Company did , and as it was to bo a National Company , lie thought they might atil ) continue . He would therefore move— ' That tho Compai > y consist of an unlimited number of members . ' The amendment was seconded , and the Conference adjourned .

      Afternoon Sitting . Mr Sweet resumed the chair at half-past two o ' clock : The Edinburgh delegate , havingjust arrived , took iis seat . The 'Election of Officers' was next considered . Mr Sukrringion proposed— ' That the numbcv of Directors be seven . ' Mr Jenkins seconded the motion . Mr Raskin proposed— ' That tho number continue five , ' which was . seconded . Mr O'Connor supported the amendment , thinking five sufficient for nil the purposes , as they would employ extra clerks if business required it . lie saw no necessity for adding to the board of directors . Mr S . Kidd said , he was instructed to vote for an increase in the number of directors ami should support that motion .

      Mr Sherrixgton was satisfied that five could not do tho business . Mr Smith thought the present number amply sufficient ; indeed , he -had been instructed to movo for * three , but should support the present ; amendment . Mr Grassby a 3 kcd- Were the directors to go out lecturing ? It not , the present number would be suf . ticieut . Mr O'Connor said , ho was about to enter his protest against the directors going about as lecturers , —their place was tho office . Mr Donovan said , if that was the case , he should like to know , what was the business of the direc tors ? Mr Doyle explained tho duties of a director .

      Mr Wbbb thought two more directors necessary . It was necessary the directors should travel occasionally , and hence he should support tho motion for an additional number . .. ... ...

      not bo forgotten , but ho thought , with the aid of clerks , the fivo could do the work . It would enst " p r g 3 of * extra » to a PP ° to" > extM < iircc-Mr Linnet would support the motion for sever , as he wishrd some of the directors to be eufc as leeturerB occasionall y . Mr IIumphhies would support the motion for seven ; the two directors would not cost more than two efhcen 6 clerks . Mr asmbiiao thought the leaser number tbemost ikely to create the greatest amount of unanimity , hence he would support the amendment for five . Mr Ldwakbs said the last armament apnoared to possess much reason , and as there would be a sufficient number of clerks , he would support the smaller number of directors .

      Mr Wild said , acordinz to the reasmin" ju t advanced , the unanimity would be greatest " if there was but one . It had been shown that the directors were beneficially employed in the office , but it had been also shown that the funds increased , when the directors travelled tha country . If they did not increase the number now , they must at another time and that too , at an early period . ' After a few words from Mr SimnniXGiox—The motion for five was carried . The election of the board was then proceeded with file following persons went to the poll j-Feargus O Connor . Philip M'Grath , Thomas Clark , Christopher Doyle . Samuel Kvdd . Willliam Dixon , Peter Murray M'Douall , Gibaon Newbes&in . Messrs . O'Connor , M'Grath , Clark , Doyle , and Dixon , were declared elected .

      Ihe next question was , — Upon what conditions , the allottees snould bo allowed to sell their allotments . ' Mr K jdd moved . - - 'That the directors be the medium for effecting all sales of allotments and li-ansier * or property m connection with the estates . ' Mr fj 1 Connor supported Mr K W . motion . Mr Wiikkleii thought Borne little alteration was necessary , before the resolution waspaued . £ i w-abk supported the motion of Mr Kydd . Air Howards ; wished to know if they wished to pre-\? A . sale 3 . 1 ? « w » merely intended that the directors should

      havo cognizance of all sales , he couid agree with the motion . Mr O'Connor said , Mr ' Kydd ' s motion would no , prevent sales , but would proventfr - . udulent sales . Ilo would submit the following motion : — ' That in all casea of sale of allotments the directors be empowered to act as trustees for the Company , to the following extent , that is , —that in all sucli eases , the purchase money shall be paid through tho directors , and the directors shall be authorised to withhold from the purchase money such amount as shall be legally and justly due by the vendor to the Company . '

      Mr O'Connor ' s motion was seconded by Mr Mun-DAY . Mr Wheeler said , ho scarcely understood the matter , and would like Mr 0 Connor to explain ; upon which Mr O'Connor entered into a lucid exposition . Mr Rankin said , if the plan offered any advantage it should be given tochenon-shareholders ' rather than to the shareholder . Mr Burrell thought all persons selling , should be compelled to apply to the directors for a deed of transfer , and they should have a printed deed ready for that purpose , so that each party might fill it up . Mr Siiernngton thought it would be an advantage to the allottees if there were restrictions on the sale of a ll otments . After a few observations from Messrs Fu 3 selland Wild ,

      Mr Whkeleb said , there waa in the Joint Stock Act a rule for the guidance of buyers and sellers , and hence it was lost time to discuss if . Mr O'Connor said , his resolution was in accordance with the Ant .

      _ Mr Linney said , ho was like his friend , Mr Shcrrington—he would place everything he could in tho way to prevent sales . Mr Judk followed with similar remarks . < The vote was then tak < n and Mr O'Connor ' s tion was declared to be carried unanimously . Mr Sution . seconded by Mr Nuttall , moved—1 That all parties selling their allotments before occupation , shall pay five per cent , upon the purchase money , such per cent-age to be pliceri in the redemption department of the Land and Labour Bank , for the benefit of the Company . Mr Dixon said , persons had taken up shares for the express purpose of raakisg money , and hence there should ba restrictions . Mr O'Cona-or said , whilst they did justice to themselves , they should not do injustice to others , and decidedly the Company was benefitted by tho sums of monev brought in .

      Mr VViikeler said , the resolution waa ia opposition to the Act . which said they had a right to sell , and that the sum to be charged for the transfer was one shilling . Mr Nuttall would , under tho 3 e circumstances , withdraw his motion . Tho a'jonrned deb . ite on the ' Limitation of the I >« umber of Members' was resumed . Mr O'Connor sairl , it was originally a proposition of his own , that they should close at the 4 th section ,

      but he now saw that they cauld conduct a larger number , lie had received four pneking-cases full of loiters , asking him not to c ! o ? e , but to allow them to join . Considering all things , he was willing to go on , and allow the money of the rich to help the poor who had previously joined . Were they to stop now , persons would start rival schemes who would cull the public , and all their failures would he laid " at the original Company ' s door . He was row perfectly willint ? to make the society trulv national . ( Loud cheers )

      Mr Shaw said , ho had no objection to tho Company being extended to forty sections , but ho thought the poor who came in first should have an opportunity of coming into the balloting box . Mr SnEnniNOTON said , hin constituents were in favour of closing at the fourth section , and he was not aware that the fifth , was opened until lie arrived at M . iKchfster . Mr Burhf . ll said , ho was in favour of keepins ; the Company open , as it would aid the Bank , and the funds flowing ia there would aid the first , second , and third sections . Mr O'Connor coincided with what had fallen from Mr Burrell . Mr Rankin felt that the arguments of Messrs O'Connor and Burrell cut against themselves , and were really in favour of the immediate closing .

      Mr Wild said , the opinions of those whom he represented , were in favour of extending the Company . Mr Doyle said , the Company was as capable of Berving millions as it was thousands ; in fact , he had heard no arguraept to induce him to support the proposition of immediate closing , and he believed , if the men of Manchester reviewed the ground , they would come to a different ' conclusion to that arrived at by Mr llankin . * Mr Donovan saM , he thought the merits of the Company could not be tested until it closed , anil ho was anxious to show that the Company was a repro . ductive one .

      Mr Humphries wished to know how it was the Company had been announced as closed , and was yet opened . If they could s < how him , they would b 8 enabled to benefit men like those ho represented , who were in the firat section , he would support its continuing open . If not , ho was instructed to move that it close . Mr M'GitATn said tho directors never had announccd that tho Company would close . They hail announced that tho fourth section would be closed at a given time . He was in favour of its continuing .

      As to reproduction , ho thought the produce would bo shown immediately the machinery was in operation . If tho Company consisted of 300 , 000 , it would be as easily managed as it was now . It bad been argued , an extension of shares would diminish tho prizes in the ballot ; not so , for in proportion as th p capital inere . i 3 ed so did the chances in the ballot increase . Of cearse there must be a limit somewhere , but ho would liko to go on , at least for a time , and make the Company not only the first in Englaud but in the world .

      Mr Judb thought Mr O Connor was wrong when ho said no otlur Company would get the support this Company had ; if so , why feat' any other ? . MrFussKLL said , he had heard no arguments to induce him £ 0 vote for curtailing tho timo for keeping open the Company . Ho did not think tho other societies mentioned would succeed , unless tUcy found an O'Connor to place at their head . Mr Rice said , he was quite persuaded that those coming in had capital , and that tho fifth and sixth sections would ^ bo located beforo the first ; hence , he was for closing .

      Mr Whkeler said ho was onco in favour of keeping open , but ho had now arrived at a different conclusion , and thought it would be advantageous to close now . They had now a fair number ef member ^ to locate , and could raiso a considerable sura on the property , and therefore it would be wise to rest a bit Mr O'Connor said , if the Company closed now it would lose tho advantage of the Land Purchase Department . Mr SAUSDBRssaid , ho was in favour of closing . Mr Wbub said , his constituents were in favour of

      continuance .. Mr Taywr said , Mr Webb was fortunate in having such a constituency ; his constituency had passed an unanimous vote in favour of closing . Mr Smith ( Stockport ) was in favour of going on . Hr Bakuer snia tho Norwich people were " in favour of keeping the Company open , a » it would bo the best and sui-eBt way of all getting located . Mr Wimjs was in favour of keeping the Company open . * " ¦ * J Mr GiKDHiusnid . if Mr O'Connor would take it on ftirato procecd . he was instructed to vote with him , Mr Arnskad said , ho thought some of tho frier-da were selnsh . The Company was formed for the \>\ n . pose of relieving the Labour , market , and now some ^ Ylshed it to bo closed .

      MrKiDDsaid , thepartie 3 who wished U « Company to bo kept open viewed the others ' ffho wished it to close as opponents ; but they onlv ' wished it to close for a time , and afterwards to . open a second

      Cemp iny , and go on with renewed energy . His cor « * t '«» anw were in favour of closing . JJc did not think tlie first section more selfish than any other . Mr Guns thought that Mr Donovan and those who supported lum were committing a crime aeainsi tbc laborers of this country , which ho could only mard as a species of insanity ; ho meant nothing oftonsive , but ho had not heard a single argument to induce him to believe that tko operatives of one section would interfere with or isjure tho other . Mr Giussby said , he did not wish the system to slop whilst a single man remained who wished to go upon the Land . Ho . moved the following amendment : — 'That this Company close so soon . is it shall amount to 48 , 000 members , ami that tho directors bo rpq nested to open a Eccond Company in mediately . Mr Gled : ill seconded the amendment .

      Mr Dixon replied to tho speech of Mr Clarke , and supported tho motion of Mr Donovan . Mr O'GoNxott said he would support Mr Grassby ' a motion . It would give the people desirous ol'joiniug a hint , not from tho directors , but irom this Conference ; and ho would pledge himself , if adopted , to carry it out .

[ During the tiiscuasien . Mr O'Connor read a letter from a Tent ( Blooming Rose ) ofReclubites , enclosing a dpprsit of £ 10 forthe National Land and Labour Bank . ] During the t-iiscussmn of the RuJes , Mr IVheelbb moved— ' That tha Family Tickets be ballottcd for by themselves ; ' which was seconded by Mr Shke-RisoTON-opposed by Mr Burrell and Mr Webband supported by Mr O'Connor .

      Asother Mcrder in Paris . —The neighbourhood of the Bourse was thrown into consternation a little before two ©' clock on Friday , by the intelligence that a murder had just been committed on the clerk ef M . Meyer-Spielman , money-changer , rue Neuve-Nivirnne , 26 . It appeara that the clerk of a German , aged 18 , was sitting behind the iron-railing which is usually fpund in such shops , when a welldressed man , of about 30 , entered , and presented a bill of exchange . WhiLt tho young man was unfolding it , the other stretched forward his hand through the little opening in the grating , and seized on a wooden cup filled with gold , and a handful of banknotes , with which he attempted to make off . The clerk , however , who perceived the movement , rushed round into the open part of the shop , and seized the tbief . The latter then drawing out a poinard-knife stabbed the young man in the hand and forehead ; The clerk , however , struggled with him , crying out

      all the time loudly for help . The clerk , however , contrived to force the weapon frnm him , and in his turn plunged it into the man ' s leg , and cut the fingers of his right hand . In the midst efthe struggle the knife fell , and the thief stooped down to pick it up . The clerk availed himself of the chance , and , opening the door , again shouted for help . A servant girl at the same moment entered the shop from the interior of the house , and the thief , finding himself hard-pressed , made a last effort , and , snatching up the knife , plunged it twice into the lower part of the abdomen of the unfortunate clerk , who fell to the ground in an expiring state The murderer then darted towards the Bourse , but was overtaken by a commissiOHnaire and M . Frisohmuth , the proprietor of the baker ' s shop opposite On his person were found another poinard-knife and several pieces of gold . The police agent who first came up recognised him aa a thief by profession . The unfortunate clerk was taken to the hospital of the Uotel-Dieu in a litter , but expired on the

      way . A CnitD Burned Auve bviisParbsi . —A military pensioner , named Darmody , rider to a posting establishment at Bird Hall , nearNenagh , returned home one night last week in a state of beastly drunkenness , when he went into the bedroom where his two children slept , and taking one of them , a little girl , out of bed , put her on the fire , and there kept her until she was burned to death . The other child rushed screaming put of the hosse to the polico barrack , and gave information of the dreadful act her father had perpetrated . Upon the polico entering the house , they saw the " wreteh stupidly gazing upon his daughter ' s calcined remains , aid apparently unconscioHs of what he had done .
