FRANCE . Dbieat or Govbrnmsnt . — In the As . semblv on Wednesday , the government met with a severe check . Art 31 of the Stamp Duty BUI , de . daring that a fired duty of 5 c . was to be imposed on the transfer of every lOOf . of nominal capital of rente , was adopted by a majority of 16 S , the numbers . being 400 to 232 . This result was arrived at , . notwithstanding the united opposition of M . Berryer , M . Passy , aad M . Fould , the Ministers of Enance , all cf whom _spoka against the article . The ' _MoaitevK ' publishes a decree hy the President of tbe Republic appointing a number of magitsrates . These nominations are so numerous as to completely fill three columns of the j annul .
The ' Moniteur announces that the President of the Republic has received a letter iu which the Emperor of Russia notifies the birth of a Grand Bute , son of the Grand Duke Constantine . Six of the insurgents of June transported to Belle Isle , who were transferred to Vannes , in the department of the Morhihan , to be tried for rebellion and for setting fire to the wooden houses in _^ _hiclt ' they were confined , have been acquitted Tb * _i a ' jm-j . . „ , ,. ... * M . ~ L _* ibat , a barrister , and proprietor of the 'Union ; Democratique _del'Ariege _, ' who was prosecuted-. by . the Attorney General for an article reflecting on- the judgment of the High Court of "Versailles , has _haen acquitted by a jury at _Touloui-e . '
The military schools _established at St . Omer , Grenoble , and Toulouse for ball practice have beea suppressed hy the Minister of War . PARIS , _Thuksdat . —In the Legislative Assembly to * 3 ay the report oi the committee on the elections for the department of the Seine was presented . The committee reported that the proceedings were regular , and that the three candidates at the head of the poll ( MM . Carnot , "Vidal , and de Flotte ought to be admitted . M . Denjoythen rose and said that he had no objection to make to the return of MM . Carnot and Vidal ; but that , as regarded M . de Ftotte , he considered that as that gentleman was transported to Belle Isle , in virtue of a decree of the constituent Assembly , he was excluded from a seat in the Legislature . The reporter
of the committee _sa'd , in reply , that the question had been brought under the notice of the committee , bnt . that , as the only persons excluded by the Constitutiaa'from seats in the Legislature were those vriio had been convicted hy tbe tribunals of the country '( and that not having been the case with M . 'de Flotte , ) the committee found no legal ground for his exclusion . He added , as a confirmation of the . correctness of the view taken by the committee , that in the decree recently passed by the Assembly for- the transportation of the remaining prisoners at Belle Isle to Algeria , a special clause was in . _serted , depriving those persons of their civic rights as long _es they remained in the colony , thereby showing that the the Assembly did not consider that they had been deprived of tbosa rights by ths former , decree .
The , lfouse then divided par _assts et leve , when a \ a 4 majority appeared in favour of M . da "Flotte , whose election was consequently confirmed . . " THE SEW GAGGING LAWS . M . Ronher , the Minister of Justice , then rose to bring forward tha bill for the further limitation of the liberty of the press . This bill fixes the cautionTmbney al 50 , 000 f . for all daily papers puhlishedin . the departments of the Seine , the Sein e
andOiee- the Seine and Marne , and the Rhone ; andatl 2 , 000 f . for those published in the other departments . It fixes the stamp duty of all the papers published in the above departments at four centimes , and those in tbe other departments at two centimes . It forbids the hawking of all papers and _addresses at the period of elections , with the exception of tke lists of the names of the candidates . The _reau _' nsr of ths measures was frequently interrupted by the _Montignards .
M . Pascal Duprai rose to oppose the urgency of the-motion . He said , that the ministers affected to believe these laws necessary for the defence of the constitution . If ihat only was the object cf ths minister , why did he not prosecute those journals who daily dragged the constitution through the dirt , ? These laws were only presented in revenge for the elections of March 10 . The , Minister of Justice said , that if he had only to take into consideration the question of urgency , he would have hut one word to say . Au act was "known to be necessary—it must be carried out ; hut M . Pascal Duprat had ascribed motives to the _ga-¦ vernment which it could not recognise . There was no idea of _reveuge in ths presentation of these laws . Re would be al- ' achinz far too much importance to
the elections to su _*> _pose that they would give rise to a measure of any kiad . No doubt these elections . had shed a _ligLt on the situation . If the opinion which _prvailed Lad been everywhere successful , if the assemblage of opinions which bad obtained that triumph where to succeed , they might soon be seen tearing each other to pieces . How was it , he weald ask , that the * -ietor 3 aud the vanquished of June found themselves ir . the same camp ? What had become of their hatred , their threats , and their combat ? One sentiment now united all their opinions in momentary accord . They had jjined hands in order to destroy ; on the day of triumph , if it were the misfortune of France to witness such a one , they would lead to civil war . The law , he concluded , was tbe result of mature deliberation and atteuiiou to tha state of the countrv .
M . de _Larochejaqaelin followed . He said that he -waa not opposed lo the law . He granted that the press had commiit = fl excesses . ( Murmurs . ) He himself had lately bean attacked and calumniated . He therefore did not oppose the sentiment which had induced the _government to present this law , but it wa 3 one in character ef the utmost importance , aad he thought tha " , for those reasons It should not ha discussed d ' urgence . He demanded mature reflection , and _therefore would vote against the urgency of the hill . The motion being put , the project of law _vras declared by a great majority to be taken into consideration ffurgence .
The Minister of the Interior , M . Baroche , then ascended the tribune , and presented a project of law for prolonging the existence of the old law against club ! for another year ; that is uutil tbe 19 th of Jnne , 1 S 51 . M . Baroche founded the necessity of this law npon the recent experience obtained from the-electoral meetings which bad been permitted . He denounced these meetings as being clubs , in reality , where the greatest excesses were committed . ( Voices on the left , 'It is false ; ' noise and clamour . ) He ( the Minister ) was convinced that the Chamber ¦ would adopt this law , which was to remove anxiety by preventing for a time meetings in which property , morals , and religion had been audaciously attacked _, if . Baroche also demanded urgency for his motion .
M . Cremieux taid that often during the course of revolutions exeepiioaal laws had been presented , but all knew under vhat circumstances this had bean done . It was not lightly or capriciously that the liberties of _citizens and the rights of the press were invaded . Thus France had had the laws of September ; but even _thesa were nothing to the present law . The cause assigned for presenting them was this , that excesses bad been committed in certain electoral meetings . He maintained that no excesses bad been committed , and that no document in support of such a statement had been shown .
M . Baroche , m reply , said the _governnreat only required the Assembly te decide upon the question of urgency ; that heing done , all the necessary information would be given . A Voice : Why not give these documents at once ? M . Baroche : The proofs furnished already were in themselves sufficient , he thou ght , and every one knew that in those pretended electoral meetings none of the representatives of moderate opinions had been able to obtain a seat without running serious risks . ( Exclamations on the Left . Cries of -Order . * Great tumult . ) M . Dupin here called a member of tbe Left to order , saying , ' These interruptions are indecent , and it is easy to see , from your conduct here , what liberty you give to speech in your clubs . " ( Loud interruptions . Cries of 'Ton insult us . ' )
M . Bac followed , and the Assembly , by a great _aajonty , voted the urgency ofthe motion . The vote of yesterday , in favour of a stamp duty , produced an unfavourable effect on the Bourse to-day , and a considerable decline took place in the price of public securities . r a _^ 1 aDAY r' ? _5 roceedin K s inthe Legislative Assembly yesterday were exceedingly calm : the remaining articles of the Stamp Daty Bill were adopted and the measure was _dedared _toReread I second time . The general discussion on the budget of expenses for I 8 o 0 was then commenced , M Pelletier , a member of the ieft , speaking against the -fi _^ o _^ system _atpresent _actedon . The discussion •? m adjourned to this day . _PfeTions to its opening , % Go 8 io * 8 _report oa ft e budget of receipt ** fa

1850 had been distributed to the Assembly , via -Mi Berryer ' s report ; the committee ' had come to the conclusion that au economy of forty : millions- on ordinary expenditure , _t and forty-four ; millions oa extraordinary expeiiditurt , Might ' easily be made . These economiea '* arc not sufficient to balance the budget , and the committee hate advised as to meani of increasing receipts . SuKDA-r . —The Assembly met in Its bureaux yesterday before the public sitting for ' the purpose oi taking into consideration the two great bills of which the urgency had been voted . The bill on stamps and increase of caution money was the chief subject of debate ; tbat upon the clubs occupying much less attention ..
. .. __ The law on tbe press gave rise to most important discussion , extending as _muehto the principles as to the details of the bill . The majority of committee _, men chosen are in favour of government , though many would have amendments made as to the amount of caution money , which they consider as likely lo do serious injury to several journals , il an excessive amount were authorised . A number of members of the moderate party who have not an absolute confidence in the efficacity of the law , consider that the danger of society justify the anxiety of government . In their opinion the law is a social not a political measure , and if restrictions are not adopted , affairs cannot prosper or security return . The election oi M . de Flotte , seems to have been a
great card of the moderates , and they mentioned it as a most dangerous symptom of aherration . Th _« rejection of the law generally would he a defeat not only of the ministry , but of the whole government . The orators who supported the law , save certain objections in detail , wtre , MM . C . Dupin , de Gaslonde , De Rianeey . Mole , d'Havrincourt , Leon Eaucher , Piscatory , Chequary , "Etienne , and others . M . Thiers thinks that a government cannot prevent a journal from saying what it likes ; but he thinks it possible to prevent the unlimited spread of evil ideas . He added , however , that be did not think a law could save a country , for if a government was faulty , it would be overthrown in spite of the beat of laws .
The ministers present in the bureaux energetically supported the government bills . Tbey did not conceal their opinion that the press laws might in a certain degree damage the moderate press , but even tbat certainty would not stop tbem . Aggression , they said , was always more powerful than defence , and bad journals were spread with more facility than good . M . Fould stated that the present amount of caution money had been found insufficient to pay the fines imposed , and tbat 24 , 000 f . was , therefore , not enough .
Several opponents of the measure appeared in the ranks of the Ri ght , such as MM , Gustave de _Beoumont , Victor Lefranc , de _Leroehcjaquelin , Come . Quentin _Bauchard , Netteaent , De Larcey , Conibarel de Leyval , and others ; the orators of the Left against the bill were MM . Grevy _, Duprat , E . Arago , Charras . Pierre Leroux , Lamartine , Cavaignac , and Pierre Buonaparte . Upwards of 570 members were present in the bureaux , but the 7 th bureau did not chose its committeemen , and , therefore , 535 members only toolpart in the vote .
Ont of fourteen appointed committeemen , ten , v " z ., MM . Drue Desvaux , De Chasseloup Laubat . Taschareau , Labordere , D'Havrincourt , De Crouseilhes , Mole , Leon Faucher , Lacaze , and de Broglie , were chosen by the partisans of different degrees , of the government law . MM . Bechard _, de Larcy , Quentis Bauchard , and Combarel de Leyval , were chosen by the adversaries of tbe government bill . The Clubs Bill was only examined _* 'in a few of the bureaux , and the committee on that question will onlv be completed to-morrow .
Tbe Assembly yesterday annulled the elections of the departments of the Saone et Loire , on account of grave irregularities , 6 , 000 persons having voted who were not electors . This decision unseats MM . Madier de Montieau , _Esqueros , Cbarassin , _Buvignier , Dain ; another of Hennequin and Dariot , who are all Democrats . M . Gallor " , late editor of the ' Reforme , ' was tried by a jury before the Court of Assize of the Seine on Friday for having published a seditious libel . He was found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment for six months and to pay a fine of 2 , 000 f . A letter from Montargis of the 2 lstinst . mentions that incendiary fires are becoming of alarming frequency in the department of the Loiret .
Monday . —The papers continue to present a serried phalanx of uncompromising opposition to the government on the press law . Organs of all colours lay by their jealousies and antipathies to copy into their columns the protests of their rivals and fees . Tbe country papers send up a fresh mass of complaint , which is emptied into the prints of the capital _. The ' Democratic Pacifique' cries out for the restoration of tbe legitimate monarchy at once , instead of the murder of the Republic by inches . The * Voix du Peupie' challenges the moderates to fulfil their late offer , and to decide the question of the Republic ' s existence by an appeal to Universal
Suffrage . Individuals come forward with energetic protests ; to day , for instance , M . Leon de Laborde puts forth sucb a protest in thc ' Presse . ' The agonies of the intermediate newspapers are indescribable , for their extinction if the law passes is inevitable . On the other hand , it seems highly questionable if the Reds will lose so much footing in the press as the constitutional liberals . A great Red organ will doubtless survive , for among the masses greater sums are levied by a centime rate , than among the opulent classes by a guinea rate . All those neutral shades between strong conservatism and socialism seem doomed to perish .
' La Presse' publishes an appeal to national generosity in behalf of the primary schoolmasters dismissed ' on account of tbeir attachment to the Republic' The document is signed by M . Carnot and other representatives of the Mountain , MM . Goudchaux and Flocon _, the editors of tbe -Presse , ' Sieele , " & c . Accounts from Cbateldon , in the department of the Puy de Dome , states that five trees of liberty , ornamented with red ribbons , were planted there on the night of the 13 th inst . They were immediately removed by order of tbe authorities .
The ' Haro ' ofCaen of the 23 rd inst . states that a sergeant of the 55 th Regiment of the Line , in garrison in that town , together with two privates , having beea removed from the regiment and sent to Algeria , the remainder of the corps assembled in ihe court-yard , and commenced singing the Marseillaise . Tuesday . —The Prefect of the Pyrenees _Orientales had dismissed twelve communal schoolmasters , and suspended seven from the exercise of their functions . Important documents connected with the Society of the Droits de l'Homme have been seized by tbe police in the house of the director of the ' Censuer de Lyons . '
The editor of the ' Temps , ' who had been condemned by default on tbe 25 th of February last to 6 . 0001 . fine and three years' imprisonment , was on Monday sentenced by the Assize Court of the Seine to six month * ' imprisonment and 5 , 000 f . fine and costs , for having published seditious articles in his journal . Wednesday . —Yesterday , in the National Assembly , the President ( M . Dupin ) informed the house that a proposition had been handed to him of so strange and unconstitutional a kind that he was
unwilling to read it . It was decided that it should be read . The proposition , which was signed by M . de Larochejaquelin , was to the effect that the National Assembly should on the 1 st of July next be called oh to vote , as in the case of the President of the Hepublic , on the question as to whether it would _d'finitivelyhave a republic ormonarchial form of governTear . The previous question was immediately called for and adopted unanimously . The members of the Mountain received the announcement of the result with vociferous cries of' Vive la Repuhlique / The Assembly then rose .
It is believed that the Minister of the Interior will forthwith present a bill on political domiciles ( as announced a few days since in our Paris correspondence , ) which will gWe to the government the power of removing from Paris one of the most dangerous portions of the population , and subject the right of voting to conditions Of real residence . — Times .
GERMANY . OPENING OF THE GERMAN FABLIAMENr . The 'Cologne Gazette' contains the following telegraphic despatch : Erfurt , March 20 . —The Geiman parliament was opened this forenoon , in the Government House , At half-past twelve the members of the _Venoattungs-rnth took their seats in the Assembly Herr von Radowitz opened tbe proceedings by a speech , in wbich he gave them an historical account of the events which preceded and led tothe German parliament . He dwelt on the duty which the united governments had of granting a constitution . The presumption that all the governments would ccede to the League had tamed out to be w

founded . _Holsteiri and 'Lauenburgh were prevented by the Danish war . Hanover and Saxony differed , ' n their views from the united ' governments . : ' The former had declared its intention to secede ' from the League . An impeachment had been brought forward against Hanover as well as Saxony , The united governments must not allow themselves to be deterred by obstacles . He then" adverted to the bills which the' government intendedito submit to the parliament—such as the charter of the con * stitution and the memorial , tbe _slectionary law , and the additional act . Baron Radowitz exhorted the
house to subject these bills to a strict and patient examination , and to advance the alterations on which they might agree to the notice of the administrative council . ¦ He further asked for powers for the presidency { VorstandJ of the empire to enter into negotiations on the subject of the immunities which had heen granted to the _Hanse towns . After informing the parliament of the appointment of the other , commissioners , ¦ Baron Radowitz concluded by declaring , in the name of the united governments , that the parliament was opened , whereupon the members withdrew to constitute their houses . •'¦ -v
M . Rodolphe d'Auerawald was elected president of the Upper Chamber , on the 22 nd , by sixty-two votes out of sixty-seven . M . de Watzdorf and Prince Solms-Hohen- Solms-Lich were elected vicepresidents .
PRUSSIA AND WURTEMBERG . A telegraphic despatch from Berlin , dated the evening of the 23 rd , inst , announces that the Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs had sent instructions to M . de Sydow , the Prussian Ambassador at the Court of Wurteraberg , to leave , the capital of that State , witb the whole personnel of the embassy . At the same time he addressed , a note to Baron Hugel , the Wurtemberg Ambassador at the Prussian Court , notifying to him the total cessation of _^ diplomatic relations between the two Governments . ' ' This step is in consequence of the speech of the King of Wurtemberg ;
SWITZERLAND . M . James Fazy , President of the Cou ncil of State of Geneva , a few days ago ordered M . Hugo Hoch _* _atetter , a political refugee from Berlin , to be expelled from the canton in twenty-four hours , M . _Hocbstetter bas appealed to the Council of State of the canton against this order , alleging that it wasan act of mere personal vengeance on the part of M . Fazy , arising out of a quarrel which had no connexion with public affairs . M . Hochstetter calls on the Council to examine into the matter , and expresses the opinion tbat it will not allow M . Fazy lo use his public power to satisfy personal animosity .
The' Suisse' of Berne has the following _: — ' From the information which we receive from the cantons , we find that the majority ofthe refugees bave determined of themselves to quit Switzerland . The Poles propose to proceed to tbe East , in the event of their net being able to find employment iii England . The Germans who were at Valangin are all going to leave this week , en route for America .. We hope they will find elsewhere those resources which the Swiss Confederation , however good its will might be , can not afford them . '
ITALY . ROME , March , 14 . —Arrests continue without examinations being granted , so that a lingering imprisonment is the unvarying fate of those ' ' who fall into ths midnight clutches of the _siirri . The colonel of the 17 th _Regiment of the line , upon inspecting the prisons previous to bis departure from this city , was horrified to find that there were many individuals who had already undergone eight months of close confinement without ever having been submitted to any sort of interrogatory or trial . Amongst the lately captured victims is the shepherd poet of Civita Castellana , a rustic improvisitore named llosi , whose country garb and long hair were familiar at
Rome during the republic ; he frequently abandoning his fleecy care at that exciting period to recite his unpolished strophes in the piazzas and cafes of the metropolis . The English clown , although now at liberty , is greatly worried by the police , who refuse to grant him permission to stay in the city for more than three days at a time , so that every third day he is obliged to dance attendance at the office , a task he finds more irksome than dancing on the highest t ' _ghtrope ever stretched in a theatre . The distress prevalent amongst the lower classes especially since the dismissal of many paupers from the works of the _beneficienzahto been productive of crime to an alarming extent—the house of the druggist , Ottoni , who
had been active in _feese wholesale dismissals , was entered the day before yesterday , in the afternoon , by one of the ejscted workmen , who stabbed the druggist ' s niece as she opened the door , and proceeded to rob the premises , when he was arrested by some French soldiers who were roused by t ne screams of his victim . The Florence diligence office was robbed on the same evening of several packs of money which were to be sent off the next morningthe thieves entered in the most audacious manner with false keys , under tbe very noses of the French
sentries , who suspected nothing wrong in the matter . In fact , the state of the city is so thoroughly dissatisfactory , that some poets of a lugubrious turn of mind have parodied Dante ' s third canto of the Inferno , ' adapting that most melancholy picture of woe to the present condition of Rome . The paioly is remarkably close to tbe original , and its solemn pathos is too true to admit of that share of the ridiculous wbich usually accompanies such productions : it is printed , and circulates freely amongst the liberals .
The * Giornale di Roma' announces officially , and with some solemnity of tone , that General Baraguay _d'Hilliers has published an order of the day inculcating upon his officers and men the necessity ef their adorning their breasts with the knightly and military decorations lately distributed amongst them by order of his Holiness : whether this step was rendered necessary by any reluctance on the part of the decores does not fully appear . Tbe French tribunals will shortly have to commence the second trial of Cernuschi , who has been awaiting it in the Castle of St . Angelo ever since his first acquittal and tbe appeal of the fiscal officer . I understand that the court-martial would willingly find him
guilty , if possibly , upon the accusation of having endeavoured to rouse the people to molest the French army on its entry Into Rome ; in order to have a pretext for condemning him to a slight punishment ( a year ' s imprisonment , for example , ) from which would be deducted the eight or nine months . confinement he bas already undergone , the remainder to be completed in a French prison ; so that , at the expiration of the term , Cernuschi would go free and unharmed ; whereas , if liberated here there is but little doubt he will fall directly into the clutches of the Papal gendarmes , and be again boxed up , or handed over to the King of Naples , without hope of rescue .
The judicial proceedings of the French tribunals continue to be public , a circumstance which I see the ' _Constitutionnel' has the barefacedness to lament over in an article upon the affairs of Rome . That justice-loving journal states tbat no satisfactory evidence will be forthcoming ( alluding especially to the case of Cernuschi , ) until the examinations are conducted and depositions taken down in a secret mode . It is incredible that Frenchmen should be found in the nineteenth century desirous of
reviving that secret inquisitorial procedure which disgraced the Venetian republic in the middle ages . The 'Veto Amico' of Bologna , of the 14 th , states that the pontificial army is to be composed of three foreign legions , namely , one of Austrians , one of French , and one of Spaniards or Swiss . Gen . St . Amand , who is entrusted with the organisation of the papal troops , has proceeded to Rome , to confer with the pontificial government on the subject .
NAPLES . — -Public attention is now attracted at Naples by the political prosecutions which have lately been brought before the chief Criminal Court relating to the events of the 15 th of May , 1848 , and to various conspiracies or secret societies . Among the accused in the former case are the exdeputies MM . Poerio and Sctlcmbrini , against whom the public prosecutor has demanded sentence o < death , Oa the 7 ih inst . the chief Criminal Court heard the case relating to certain inhabitants of
Gragnano , accused of belonging to a secret society styling itself the Republican Sect . Four of the accused were condemned to periods of from twenty to twenty-four years' hard labour in irons , four are to be kept in prison till further information , and the remaining four were set at liberty . On the 13 th the Court decided a preliminary question of competence in the case of Poerio , whose counsel maintained that as ex-minister and ex-deputy he had a right to be tried by the Chamber of Peers , This plea was overruled by the Court .
The Neapolitan government would appear to anticipate hostilities . Stores of ammunition are sent off from Naples by night to Capua , and troops continue to augment the forces towards the Roman frontier . Such movements are certainly dictated by Austria , and . may _wiglaate from ( cm ot an ;

TUSCANY . —The Tuscan government have refused the indemnity demand by Lord Palmerston for losses sustained by British subjects during . the disturbances at Leghorn Jast year . , Tlie answer , of the Tuscan government is fully as severe on the English policy » ft _* laty as * he note of Russia on that in Greece . - _ _ _
LUCCA . —The ' Riforma' of Lucca , of the 9 th inst ., says that some cries of "The French Republic for ever ! ' 'The . Reds for ever ! ' Sec , were heard ou the preceding night in the streets of that town on receiving the intelligence of the . probability of the Paris elections being carried by the Red party . Several arrests had been made in consequence pf these cries .
GREECE . A telegraphic despatch , from our correspondent at . Berlin , states that on the _I 9 th dates from the _Pirwus to the I _2 th > arrived at Trieste . It was Bald that Greece had refused to enter into any negotiations as to the settlement of the English claims until the English fleet had left Salamis and the Greek vessels seized by it had been returned , It was taid also that new demands had been put forward by England . An energetic Russian note had been received on the 9 th , and on the 10 th an English courier had started for Constantinople .
TURKEY . The _Oesterreichische Correspondent' states , from Scutari , that a troop of several thousands inhabitants of Montenegro made , on the 4 th inst ., a raid on the district of Poitgoriziu , and that they retreated after a battle , or rather skirmish , which continued throughout the day , and in wliich two of tin Turks ( of Portgorizzu ) were killed , and twenty wounded . The men of Montenegro took their own killed and wounded away , with them , for none of their heads were brought to Scutari .

LOUD DUDLEY STUART AND THE HUN- ' GABIAN REFUGEES . The following letter has been lately ' addressed to Lord Dudley Stuart bv Count Tclelti , General Klapka , and Francis Pulszky , in the name of the Hungarian refugees : — Mv Loan . — -In tlio _namn of ouvselv . es , and all cxer _etnmtoymen , who were fortunate _ciioygh to escape tlie Austrian bullets and galleivs , we venture to express our gratefulness . We most warmly thank you , not only for tho noble genoresity with which you , my lord , advocated the cause of our unhappy country , but likewise for the kindness with which you cared for the most urgent necessities of _thost of our _countrywien _, who could save nothing buttheii- baro lives . Ours is not the first instance in which you prov _» d the champion of liberty , _justics , and humanity .

Emigration. — Emigration, Says The Limer...
Emigration . — Emigration , says the Limerick Chronicle , is again amazingly on the increase , not-, however , so much to Canada as to tho United States ; and the train from this to Dublin is daily crowded with intending emigrants , mostly all agricultural , and who embark for their destination at Liverpool . Tho banks in Limerick are hourly paying out money upon tho orders remitted by the friends of those people in America , who emigrated tho last and preceding years . There are nine vessels at the quays taking passengers—three for New York and six for Quebec . The Convict Ann _Mekritt . —On Monday night a meeting was held in Pembury Chapel , Hackney , to
tako steps "for procuring a commutation of tho sentence " passed upon this unhappy woman , at the last Old Bailey Sessions , by the Lord Chief Baron Pollock . Rev . II . Robinson ( chairman ) , Messrs . Itadley , Goldswell , and others , addressed the meeting in favour of tho abolition of capital punishment , and a memorial was adopted , praying that the respite of execution of Ann Merritt may be followed by an entire reprieve and also that such stops should bo taken as may lead to the entire abolition of the punishment of death . That man alone is truly _independent who relies upon his own exertions , to the exclusion of foreign aid .
