      One ef the most deliberate and cold-blooded murders tbat it baa ever been our duty to record , waa perpetrated in Manchester ,, early on Tuesday morning . The locality of the daring outrage was Friday-street , Lever-street , neat Stevenson ' s-fqnare , and tho unfortuuate victim was a young wot ^ aa named Diana Clark , who , some three years ago , was married to a man named William Adamaon . ' For some time they lived together in Newton-street , but never appeared to be very comfortable . The woman , it aecm 3 , had been previou-ly married , and her first husband is now undergoing sentence of transportation for some crime committed in Manchester . Adatnson had also been , married before ; and his farmer wife and family are now living in Iliilme . Singularly enough , it is aaid , that each knew of the

      other s marriage before they became united ; and nutwitbstaEuiny : that they lived in a state of appaleut comfort for' eome time ; but , naturally enough , occasional private disturbances arose , which terminated about two months ago in the woman returning to live at her father ' a bouse in Oldhamroad , and at the game time Adamson , we understand , took a lodging in Grey'a court , Lamb-lane , Salford . Three or four weekB ago , he viaited his wife at her father ' s . Ho removed a hex from thence , and appeared to be on good terms with her . From that time until Tuesday morning , it waa not known that he had ever seen her . Sh 9 was employed as a reelerinthe Hanover Mills , at Bank Top , and was proceeding" to her work at half past five o ' clock on Tuesday morning , when her husband , Adamson ,

      met her in Lzvev-atteet , and , it is said , requested that she would once ujore live with him . Some angry words arose , and Adamson threatened toBhoot her , when she ran up Friday-street , and was pursued by her' infatuated husband , wha produced a small porkef pistol , and , standing within a few feet ofbiiwife , he took a deliberate aim at her head Tho pistol , however , snapped , and a number of people who had been attracted b » the wman'a cries for help , ran to her asMatance , but before they could render any aid the pistol waa a , ° ain cocked , and the contents lodged in the unfortunate wornan ' a head , The pistol was loaded with a ball , which went right through her head ., Tho policeman on duty in Fiiday-street seized hold ' of the man imrsediattly , and had him tnken to tho police-station ; and tbe woman was taken to the infirmary , whore she died in the course of half an hour . The circumstance created

      the greatest excitement in the neghbourhood , and tha dreadful act wis committed in lull viuw of not less than six or eij > ht individuals . At present we have been unable to glean much relating to the character either of tbe murderer or his unfortunate wife His wife by a former marriage , and' two children re aide near Welheck-street , Ilulme , and we are in ^ formed that he viaiteJ her a few weeks a « o and when some of the decaaBed ' a relatives came thereto make inguir . p into hia conduct , he took dawn apnn and threatened to shoot thera . The police however interfered and prevented any serious consequence *! It 15 said , that this 13 not the only instance iu which the inttrferenco of the police has been neceesarv tn deprive this man of fite-arms . He was a ribbon waver . , but has not been at work for some time The prisoner was then committed to the aasizes to take his trial for wilful murder .

      THE FllEiXC'II KEI'UJJLIC : STATE OF PAUTIES . Th 3 correspondent of tho Timks says , to jud |> e by the language ot those of the Assembly who have still tho hardihood to avow themselves partisans , advocates , and supporters of Bchemes of universal pillage —they do not yet add the wordi universal massacretho party is yet , formidable—The good sense or tho clear- ^ ig htednesj of the majority of tho Assembly , whoBeo spoliation and slaughter , the fire brand and the guillotine , in the perspective of all tho measures recommended or cantemplated by Citizen Proudhon

      and his associates seem likely , to prevail , however , and may yet save Franco . It would be consolatory could the conduct of M . Proudhon and tho other Communists in the Assembly bo deomed inconteatably the result of de ? pair ; but wild and rambling as are his speeches , thero is in them a consistent atrocity that argues the existenco of a system , and of a determination and a sense of powers on the part of its upholders to carry out its principles , whioh suggest fear 3 that another conflict in the Btreets is inevitable ^

      VERY GOOD . It appears that before surrendering their arms some of the disaffected of the National Guards have rendered them useless . The report of Lieutenant Battnillard , one of the officers appointed to examine tbe muskets v ? hioh have been collected from the National Guards who have been disarmed in Paris , states that several of thoBO muskets have bi > en rendered unfit for service by being bored in the barrel in the part covered by the atosk of the gun . M . Dorses , ono of the members of the National Assembly , who , it will be remembered , was wounded at one of the barricades during Hie insurrection , died on Thuvsdny week last of his wounds . He is the fourth member of the National Aascmbly who has fallen a viclim of this insurrectisn .

      All the detached-forts in the neighbourhood ol Paris , in which state prisoners are at present confided , are boing placed in a condition to sustain a siege . The embrasures are mounted with cannon .

      STATE OF PARIS . ( From the correspondent of John Bull . ) Jolt 19—Order has reigned in Paris this week ; such order as reigned at Warsaw once . Melancholy beyond description is the look of this glittering city with its deserted shops , its 50 , 000 soldiers enoamped on straw in the streets , —its loaded cannon ready to fire , —its night-signals and nightly assassinations , — and the inexpressible consternation of all its inhabitants . The truth is , that an open crater still yawnp beneath our feet , threatening daily to pour forth ita torrents of devastating lava . The firat act of this horrible drama is hardly brought to a close , when a new and bloody interlude is preparing . Whether the English press represents the real state of affairs ,

      I know not ; the French press is 80 completely ijagged , that a true exppsition of it would immediately « ntail not a prosecution , but a preventive arrest , and the suspension of the indisoreet journal . Even the secrecy of private correspondence is violated to such a degree , that no one can venture to entrust the whole truth respecting men and things to the pages of a letter . Be assured , however , that under this apparent lull Paris is again on the eve of a general conflagration . Confidence , freed' m , arts , and industry are destroyed ; misery comes striding ; down upon us with threatening step , with murder , rape , pillage , and arson in its train . Hunger is organising an explosion with which even the military dictatorship will D 9 unable to cope .

      Already General Cavaignac , with his mere military courage , proves unequal to the occasion . His dread of assassination is sKch tbat be hardly ventures to admit any one to an audience , lest a murderous dagger should cut short his life . The General deplores the victory he has gained , and the violent measures of reaction into which he hn 3 been puthad by the coterie uiider wliOEe fatal influence he is acting . A man of upright character , but undeoided in his political views , he undertook the war against the barricades with martial zsal , and caused the cannon to roar in PariB for forty eight houra with enenrefcic bravery ; but , in the progress of his victory he . fell under the influence of personal passions , and became the unresibting tool of men whose only desire waa to gratify their inveterate hatred bj striking their enemies . ( Fiointhe Daily News . )

      The spirit of reaction is apparent everywhere in Paris , but still mire so in the provinces . The patriotic cries in favour of the Republic , and the hymn of the Marseillaise are now never heard . In the theatres of the capital burlettas are produced and received with shouts of applause , in which the doctrines , symbols , and phrase 3 of democracy are held up to ridicule . M . Coltavre , a lawyer , the supposed editor of the Pkiib Duchene previous to the insurrection of June , was arrested on Friday . According to the returns : published b y the Monitkur , tbe number of wounded of June still remaining in the civil hospitals of Paris , in the evening of the 21 st , was 797 . Nine bad died on that day . Paris wai visited by a tremendous storm of thunder Qnd lightning on Sunday night and Monday morning .

      At the openins of the sitting of the National Assembly , on Monday , Citizen Marrast , the new president , on taking the chair delivered a suitable speech . General Cavaignac announced a project of a grant of a pension of 3000 ( r . to the mother of Citizen Domes , who hasjust died of the wounds received in the insurrection of June . Oit ' z : n B'lrnea was a member of tbe Assembly . Louis Napoleon has resigned the seat to which he was elected by the inhabitants of Corsica .

      MORE AnRESTS . On Saturday night about thirty persons were arrested at Ciichy , and on Saturday morning some per .-oca were also arreatcd in the Faubourg St Antoine and the Faubourg St Marcel . On Monday 134 insurants , on many of whom were found documents inculpatory of themselves and others , weie arrested in the Banlieu-Several < xamining- magistrates went on Monday ( 0 the prison Saint Lszare , where tbire are about 4 GG insurgents who have not been interrogated . In tbis number are nick prisoners who have been sent from the tort ) de l'Eitand Romainvillej and also upwards of 200 women , who were taken on tho barricades , or > hilst they were carrying ammunition to the insurgents ,

      The reapers in the neighbourhood of Paris have found Bome dead bodies , supposed to be those of insurgents who died of their wounds alter taking refuge in the corn . Tcb 6 dat—Tho discuBjion in tho Assembly to-day waa upon the proposed law of the clubs . The Assembly appeared to take little interest in the general discussion , the greater part of the articles having been successively voted . The 13 th article only , which subjects every olub to be licensed by the municipal authorities , occasioned a lively discussion . The club 3 of Lyons have bsen closed by order of the authorities of that city .

      THE CIVIL WAR IN HUNGARY . Pesth , July 16 .

      UNITED STATES AND MEXICO . By the Cambria , Captain Harrison , we are in poasesiion , of advices from Nsw York fco the _ 11 th , Boston to the 12 'h , and Halifax to the 14 th instant respectively . The official proclamation of peace had been publiehed at Washington . The President , in hia message to Congress , announcing the ratification , recommends the appropriation of twenty millions to fulfil the treaty stipulations , to be paid in four annual instalments ; provision for the appointment of surveyors of the boundary line ; for the appointment of a Board of Commissioners to decide on the claims of United States citizens against Mexico ; theimmedia ' . e establishment of a territorial government over California and New Mexico , and the extension of laws over the same ; the regulation of oommerce on the coast by law ; liberal grants of public land to settlers ; and , finally , that no increase in the army be made .

      That part of the message which states that indemnity bad been secured by the acquisition of territory , and that the brilliant exploits of the army were a guarantee for security , was received with laughter , aB was also that portion of it Which Bays , ' we Bhall prooably be saved the necessity for another foreign war for a series of years . ' Tho debt of the country , at the close of the war , we are now told , is only 65 , 000 , 000 dollars , an amount ; large enough to cause some trouble in ita payment .

      Our intelligence from Mexico is important . Paredes was in full rebellion against the government . On the 15 th of June he entered the city of Guanajuato at tbe head of about 400 men , and made himself master nf the military Btores in the city . The garrison , after a show of resistance , joined him . BuBtaEiento and Minion , who were sent against P-wedes , are believed to be acting in concert with him . TheStates Congress of Guanajuato was immediately diasolved . tbe lawful government displaced , and the country is evidently alarmed at tho prospect of the success of the revolutionists . An address has been issued by the rebels , prote 3 tins in strong language again 3 fc tho treaty with tir . e United States .

      We have the most deplorable accounts of robberies upon the highways in all pirts of Mexico . American deserters join the professional facfronesof Mixico , and even in Vera Criizacts of violence are constantly committed almost with impunity .

      MEETINGS IN FAVOUR OF IRELAND . ( From the correspondent of the Horning Chronicle . ) Philadelphia , July 11 . —The Irish and Mitchel meetings still continue , but , as the speeches and proceedings are now generally the mere echoes of the meetings that had been held before , and of which ao many accounts have been transmitted to you , I forbear to dwell upon them at length , unless where some new point or feature has been developed . Thia how . ever has been the ease at WilliamBburgh , New York , where ' a monster meeting of the Irish Republican Unior , ' was hel in the open fields a few daya since . A ' declaration of independence for Ireland' was wad and adoptedaccording to which ' every man in

      , Ireland shall ba the owner of a piece of land ; ' Ireland to be an independent nation . Mr Mooney said , that no man was to ' sign that document unless he was on board the ship tbat was to carry him to Ireland '—meaning the Irish Brigade . The same speaker also saH : — We will assail Canada , India , Ireland , at once : even the city of London , wbere we have half ' s million of Irishmen , shall be burnt about tbe villains that seized John Mitchel , " < fec , &c . Mr O'Connor said he waa going to Canada . He was to'd he should be arreated , If he were 50 , 000 men would cro 33 tho border . ( Tremendous cheers ) I observe tbat there have been Mitchel meetings at Boston , Charleston , and Pittsburgh .

      ( From theiVciw York Tribune , July 11 . ) IRISH REPUBLICAN UNION . A mass meeting of this Association was held list evening at the Shakspeare Hotel . Abont eight o'clock a procession arrived , attended by music , and the largo Hall was quickly crowded to its utmost capacity . Among those present we noticed one or two Members of Congress . At the call of the meeting , the cbair was taken by W . E . Robinson , Esq ., Thomas Hatks 3 Cting as secretary .

      Mr Robinson , on taking the chair , said , we are , most of ua , Irishmen—and what haa the land of our lore not suffered ? She has been slandered , even by her oppressors , and our country has been thrown in our teeth aa a disgrace . Poor Ireland ! she is the victim of tbe worst government on the face of the earth . Mexico has a bad government , yet the people do not die there of starvation , as in Ireland . The Chinese , the Japanese may have bad governments , yet not so bad as the British government , for there tho son of toil , after planting the seed and watering it with his tear ? , and reaping it in the sweat of hia brow , is not obliged to yield it up to be carried from hie sight , while ho is compelled to lie down himself and dio for want of food . God has blessed Ireland

      with a luxuriant soil , and has caused the earth to yield plenty even for her crowded population ; bnt thn husbandman there lies down and dif s upon the very soil which oppression has robbed of its fruits . His wife perishes by his side . The infant on her breast tries to draw sustenance from that fountain of life which nature has provided fot it . But desolating famine has sealed them all for its victims—child , mother , and sire—in one black burial blent . Ccffinless they are covered beneath Irish earth , or are left unburied , to be torn and devoured by dogs and birds of prey . Now I appeal not to Irishmen , to Americana , to Frenohmen , to Germans—I aBk is there anything human , with human impulses , human sympathies , that will not cry out indignantly against the

      continuatce of a government which reduces a , ' people to this nnparelleled degradation ? For seven centuries has Ireland groaned beneath an oppression worse , far worse , than Egyptian bondage . The glory of her former days—her Patricks and her Columbas coming in marked contrast with the degradation—the Cromwells and Castlereagha of , her later history . Shall this state of thingB last ? Should not the moral sea . timent of the world be declared against it . But it may be asked , what can we do for her ? I reply what can we not do ? We have Bpoken far hor . We have laboured for her . We have prayed tor her . We have done all but die for her ; and that we are ready to do—that we can do—that , if necessary , we will do , ' Who would not die to svye her and think hia lot divine ? ' She is our mother—tha blood that it in our veins are hers , and there is not a drop of it in our hearts that we will not cheerfully give her when she needs it .

( From the New York Tribune . ) THE L 05 D 0 N TIMES AND IRELAND . Our readers vrill h ' ad in our columns to-day & long article from the Tiwes , in which it tries to reply to our statement ; of the grievances of Ireland . It is written in a style somewhat more moderate than is tbe wont of the Tory giant of England whea abusing Ireland . It has only replied to a part of our statement , but promises to take it up again ^ We have not Feen its second article , but when we find it we shall give it a place .

      We have not room for a reply to-day , but shall take some other opportunity of sustaining our positions and commenting on the startling confessions which the Times makes even in ita own defence . What utter nonsense is it to see a paper of the character of the Times attributing the woes of Ireland to ' the dispensations of Providence' !—Was it Providence that made the English law by which it was not murder to shoot or kill a mere Irishman ? Was it Providence that madejit 'felony' for the priests of the people ' s religion to teach the dements of even temporal knowledge to the young of their churches ? Was it Providence that wrought the desolations of Cromwell and William , and confiscated the property of the rightful owners to tho vagabond army of the EngliBh , whose progress over the laad was marked by rivers of patriot blood , and mountains of unburied bones 1 Is it Providence that even now

      propagates the ' clearance system , ' by which peasants are driven frosn their crumbling hutatodie in the ditch , that room may be made for bresding pheasants and huntingd .

      The late Revolt in Newgate . —Flogging of the Ring-leaders . —On Saturday between the hours of nine and tvro , the officials connected with Newgate were busily engaged in removing the whole of the convicts who were convicted at the late sesssions of the Central Criminal Court and sentenced to be transported , being a fortnight previous to the usual period . Amongst those so sent away were 12 convicts who produced the revolt in Newgate on Wednesday last . After the convicts had been overcome and doubled-ironed on Thursday , Mr Alderman Gibbs visited Newgate , when the whole of the proceedings were brought before him , and a long investigation took place , which ended in two of the

      convicts being found to be the ringleaders of the outbreak ; and Mr Alderman Gibbs having the authority , ordered the two ringleaders to receive three dozen lashes each , to be carried into effect on the following morning . Accordingly , at 7 o' clock , the usual preparations were made , and although it was intimated to the party that some of them would undergo severe corporal punishment they commenced singing the well-known chorus , ' Britons never will be Slaves . ' This they sung until their two companions were led out to receive punishment at the hands of Calcraft , the executioner , who administered three dozen lashes to each , without , however , eliciting a single sound from either .

      Clerkenwell-green- —On Monday night , be » tween 7 and 8 o' clock , the inhabitants of Clerkenwell-green and the immediate neighbourhood were placed in a state of considerable alarm in consequence of a number of persons having collected on the Green . Some policemen of the G division bad previously arrived there , to be prepared in case o { any meeting ; but , notwithstanding they were seen , while there were others in plain clothes , after a consultation , it is supposed , a persos , who seemed to be of some respectability , took up a position adjoining the lamp-post in the centre of Clerkenwellgreen . As he showed a disposition to make a speech , a crowd of persons in a few minutes collected round

      him . Upon his beginning to deliver bis address , a policeman went up to him for the purpose of endeavouring to induce him to go a « "ay , but without effect , when a few stones were flang at the police , and , as there was evidently a determination to offer resistance , information was sent to the station-house of the G division in the Bagnig ^ e-welis-road . In the meanwhile the mob , which had collected to between 300 and 400 persons , were addressed by the speaker , who observed that the people had been petitioning the House of Commons , and that it was of no longer any use to petition that body . While arguing upon the rights of the people , and the ad . vantages of republican institutions , Inspector Julian

      arrived , having with , him a force of about 20 men with three sergeants , upon whom being seen a great . number of the crowd went away . Above 200 , however , remained round the speaker , who continued his speech until the police got up to him . The inspector attempted to persuade him to discontinue his conduct , but he insisted on his right to do SO As he continued , Mr Julian was compelled to take him into custody . He was promptly conveyed to the station-house by five policemen , followed by an immense crowd . There he was charged with

      riotous conduct . He gave the name of John Saver Orr , No . 23 , St John ' s-square . He stated that ' he was a licensed preacher , but would not give the authority by which he was licensed to preach . He also informed the insppctor that he had some property to live upon . The accused had been delivering pamphlets under the following title , of which it is believed he is the author : — ' The Signs of the Times , as expressed in the House of Commons on the 10 th of April and the 12 ch of June , 1848 . ' Inspector Julian remained with his men on Clerkenwell-green to a late hour .

At the railway station at CliMen the carriage of Jacob Fletcher , Esq ., of Peel-hall , was in waiting for a French gentleman , who was coming on a visit to Mr Fletcher . The gentleman in question arrived in the same train as the poor lunatic , and being rather peculiarly dressed Mr Fletcher ' s

      servants appear to have taken her for afiieudor companion of the foreign visitor . She marched forward from the railway to Mr Fletcher ' s carriage , followed by the Frenchman . When the gentleman got into the carriage , he bowed to her with Parisian politeness , under the impression that she was one of , Mr Fletcher ' s household sent to escort him to Peel Hall . When the carriage arrived at Mr Fletcher s residence , the lunatic still passed as a friend ot the French gentleman ; but a feeling of -delicacy prevented either from asking for an explanation . At length the party sat down to an elegant repast , when the conduct of tbe lunatic became so marked and extraordinary that Mr Fletcher and his friend Vf 14 lliu %% iwb

      * — v — « yiiv * VvH * ** looked at each other in mute astonishment . An explanation ensued . The French gentleman declared that he knew nothing of Mr Fletcher ' s visitor having found her in the carriage when he entered .
