      Parliamentary Review. The Arena Of The G...

      _^ inten ded to rapport , _; when ' v looked at from the _**^ point of _viewLias that' taken by the Noble _*^ no r _coitfttifeitt many of thev _foments _ad-Aaffii ° u m _** " _^ _PPort * _* _'" _» impossible to deny _rtg creafive power of genius , which imparted eTen . » the last moment interest , _variety and novelty to _^ _httekmed , worn _outand threadbare a subject . If _jjgjt _STiXiEv ' s speech does not raise him to the _j _^ _jjj of a statesman , it places him in the front _jjufc of debaters . He was followed by Lord _gso-oeHAM , who in spite of a strong desire for adjournment was full of speech , and -would out with 3 . His Lordship was on this occasion less eccentric _ju manner , matter , and even dress , than we jive seen Mm during the whole Session . He _jiandoned the broad striped waistcoats and

      _Recked trousers in which he usually rejoices , for a _^ t of decent black . His fi dgetty restless manner _s ubsided into a serious composure , and he avoided _^ ith some degree of success those flights of an _gnatie fancy which so often disfigure his orations , and impair tlieir effect . His description of the state _^ _Inrope in 1810 , when Napoleon controlled its _gsry pulsation , and when in despite of his strong _aearetoshut this country nut of thepale of nations , _jy means of the celebrated Berlin and Milan _dejiees , com and flour poured in by hundreds of _# Dnsands of quarters , even from France itself , to meet the deficiency in our harvest , was an able _angser to the objection against our being dependent en foreign grain , and a capital specimen of Henry "Brougham in his best days .

      On the second night the predominance of _speakgswason the side of Protectionists , —the only two avowed defenders of the bill were the Earl of Clarendon and the Earl of Haddington . The speech of { he first was not only the fce * t of the two , but SH able defence of the principle of tree trade in itself and of its applicability to the state of affairs both at home and abroad at the present moment . Of some seven or eight Protectionist earls who addressed the house , ills only necessary to say that fhey travelled over the same dreary path which has been travelled by the herd of orators in the pro tracted discussions in the other house .

      But the evening was not without a new feature , and one of no slight importance . The Marquis of "Rormanby supported the measure , in a speech _containing the very reasons we have so _frequently and forsomanyyear 3 placed before our readers . The direct bearing of this measure on the condition ofthe trorMng classes is lost sight of by the disputants on tie side of both Leaguers and Protectionists . The _Jlarquis brought back the Peers to that most _momentous and "important of socUl questions . He declared , as we have often done , that its benefits and iU disadvantages have been equally exaggerated by { hepartizansofthetwo great factions . The

      influence of machinery on the labour-market , the ques tions of drainage , ventilation of houses , house rent , _Hipplyofwater , 8 _hOrtt _\ me , education , and other cog-Mtesubjects , aU _beariii gdirectly on the welfare ef the labouring classes , were successively glanced at by his Lordship , with all the weight and authority be _& iging to the declaration of a man , who _ffas for two years the Home Secretary of this country , and who avows that during that time be was forced into an investigation of the actual

      condition ofthe operatives , which resulted in a conviction that the let alone system will not do longer , that we must ( legislate directly in favour of the laborious masses . We commend this part of Lord Kobmaxby _' s speech'to the careful perusal of our readers , and in preference to anything we could say oa the subject mooted by his Lordship , extract the following remarks from that newspaper anomaly , the _Times . _~* With its nsual foresight , it scents the coming question of the age , and thus _discourseth thereupon : —

      We have reversed the order of legislation . "We have aadelaws io help the strong ; we have left the weak to _lelp themselves . Our economical lore has taught us to extend the maxim of " _Lxissesfcure " in aid of enterprising wealth but to tiie injury and loss of helpless bnt industrious poverty . The lords of the factory and the steam-« n » inefight it out bravely with the lords of the soil for the multiplication of their acquisitions and the greatness of their order ; but the friends ofthe labouring man can bat point to the lost battle-fields which left the enactment ofa Poor iaiv and the rejection of a Factory Bill as the spoils of philosophical neutrality and scientific indifference _, i

      a Cheap bread" was the cry for the mob—a cry now discountenanced by the wisest of those who erst gave it _wat—a crydestined perhaps to be fatal to those who even involuntarily have profitted by it 1 Bat thev to whom it was addressed—whom itwas meant to excite , and whom it did excite—look forward with sullen silence and _stubbom indifference to the result of a a collision Which many _ijth _^ ib _^ _iete mtsl Ufruitless to themselves , unless ii bring nils train c > fi _^ r-stmggles ani fidureeapituuttions . At present they are mute , because they are almost without hope . The State has had but one course—the Legislation but < hk profession—political science but one doctrine , —to _JKjlect those who are helpless I They look on and mutts tt Lord and Leaguer" A plagueon both your houses . " |

      Bat it cannot always be as it hitherto has been . Men s Binds are fully awake to the gravity and urgency ofa Subject which if left , withoutnoSce _^ must brand ns with eternal shame , or hnrl us to irreparable _min . "We are beginning to wonder at our own state . Foreigners and sojourners among ns have wondered at it long . They hear teU of our riches , and they visit us in the citadels of onr wealth . Our power and onr greatness are sounded in their ears and blazoned before their eyes in a hundred nations . They wander amid the marts of our commerce and the homesteads of our industry . They see lie high and towering edifices devoted to the prosecution ofa labour -which knows no rest and the service of

      a capital which ceases not from its enterprise . Around ani about them are the multiplied forms of an ever active ingenuity , and an unsatisfied speculation . The monotonous muttering of many engines—the throng of hundreds of human beings—the appliances of a growing traffic in the streets aad neighbourhoods—all these tell them _, tbe eriscHcies and the rewards of our commercial irealflu Thflj turn from the factory w the outskirts ef the town—to the neat villa and the modern mansion begirt with _aB the rural beauty that English opulence loves to introduce even among the busiest scenes of toil and care . The house ofthe manufacturer arrogates comparison with the hall ofthe peer ; the grounds of tbe one are absorbing the park of the other ; the influence ofthe one

      is growing under and subverting the power of the other . Ihey return to the town they have left . They wander amid its crowded alleys and its intricate lanes . And what meets them there ? Houses fetid with a dense population and an insufficient drainage ; men made old beiere their rime by too much work , and children who never knew the natural bloom of health ; women whose native comeliness has been sacrificed to the combined exigencies of home ana thefectory . "Everywhere they see symptoms of overwork—overwork of raina ana of i _» aj . "Everything seems strained to its utmost—everybody exhausted . It may be only by comparison that this seems so to them , and only at certain seasons ; but it ha 3 . struck observant foreigners as characteristic of ourmanu facturinspopuiation .

      Sufficient for ns ii it to know , tbat whilst the wealth , and the enjoyments of the rich have increased , those of * he poor have not increased in fhe same proportion ; ibat the ingenuity of invention , which has multiplied forms of _luxuiy for some _rinsspSj has not -wrought equally & rfhe lowest class ; and that in an age of the ii » hest _civHisatiMi may be found the most deplorable _indigenee , the most horrible squalor , and the most fearful destitution . And to this state of things must our _lawgivera look . Too long It has been our theory and onr practice to say"Let things take their course . " Things

      , wiE take their course if we neglect them . Bat it will be a course dreadful to the interests of all classes—fatal to the security of the State . Whatever good , and we are not dispostdto _-und _^ _rvalAw i _^ mayUo _^ ¦ commerce in a commercial nation , _stUl we have evidence of the most positive kind to show that without actual interference on the par t of government , questions like the present may affect the lowest classes of tke community no more , and be regarded by them with no g reater interest , than the quarrels ofthe _Kexc and Biakcbi , or the fends ef the € celph 8 and _GniBELiise .

      The debate will be renewed to-night ( Thursday ) , Trith the expectation that a division will take place at its close , without further adjournment . Of course , all kinds of rumours are afloat , but the general opinion inclines to the belief that ministers will have a small majority for the second reading . The Protectionist peers may , however , defeat the measure at this stage , if they are prepared to face the difficulties of Govern ment , and the turmoil of a general election . Speculation , however , npon what a few hours will probably make certain , is useless . One thing is certain , we _Senear the Close of this protracted straggle . No other business worth notice has occurred in Parliamentduring the week . _Posiscripi . —The Ministerial crisis in the Lords "bas passed . The fate of the great measure is an _Ivugerdottbtfiil .

      enthusiastic Houses that ever assembled in . the history of Ae English Peerage , a ' majority bf FORTY SEVEN has stamped its approbation on Peel ' s _pe-lier . _TOaterer delays may hereafter take place they cannot now prevent the Bill from "becoming law . Much has been talked of damaging and mutilating it in Committee , where proxies would be of no avail ; but even if there had not been an absolute majority of " Contents " present at the division on Friday morning , the large majority of 47 would have enabled Ministers , on the bringing up of the "Report , to have reinstated , in their original shape , any clauses that might have been altered in Committee . We suppose the session will be allowed to

      come to its natural close , forone can scarcely suppose that either Leaguers , Whig Radicals , or Irish . Repealers , will aid the transparent intrigue of the small Whig Leader to turn out or embarrass Pssl , by any factious movements , whether with respect to Sugar or any thing else . If Pbel has not promised more than Russell to the free trading and commercial classes , he has always shewn his power to do more than his would . be political rival , and as a practical financier there is no comparison between them . We shall see however , shortly , what the hopes of place will urge the Whig office-seekers to dare .

      _NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF UNITED TRADES FOR THE _PROTECTION OF INDUSTRY . The Central Committee met at their office , 30 , Hyde-street , Bloomsbnry , on Monday , May 25 th . Mr . T . S . Duncombe , M . P ., in the Chair . —A huge mass of correspondence was read , mainly relating to the ensuing Conference , and announcing the appointment of delegates thereto . Amongst other letters were read from the trades in the Staffordshire potteries , announcing their desire to be connected with the association ; from Mr . Jenkins , containing the adhesion of the nailmakers of St . M * nian ' s , Stirlingshire ; from Mr . Blackmore , enclosing the adhesion of the sawyers of Nottingham ,

      together with their first three months subscription : from Mr . Goulding , stating that the number of members of the association in Manchester alone exceeds 5 , 000 ; from Mr . J . Harrison , Wigan , announcing theadhesionof _thejcirpenters of that town ; and , from Mr . J . Drummond , announcing the adhesion of the carpenters of Liverpool . From information received , it is anticipated that the Conference which will assemble at the hall of Science Camp Field , Manchester , on Wbitmonday , will be the most numerous ever assembled , embracing , as it will , delegates from all parts of the United Kingdom .

      We are informed that the Central Committee will assemble on Sunday , ( tomorrow ) evening , at the Railway Inn , Deansgate , and that the president Mr . T . S . Duncombe , M . P ., will arrive in Manchester on Monday morning , t _» take his seat at the hour appointed for the commencement of business .

      THE STRIKE IN THE BUILDING TRADES . ( From the _Jfancaester Guardian . ) The prospect of the termination of this strike , -which , we Tainted at in our last , has since then become much more definite and clear , and we think it extremely probable that a short time will see the turnout brought to a close , and all the men at work again . The following facts furnish the reasons for this conclusion . _MlxcHESTKB . —In Out last we stated , thatau important proposal from a considerable body of men in one branch ofthe building trades was to be taken into consideration by the masters in that branch , on Tuesday evening last . We may now state tint the particular trade alluded to is the carpenters and

      joiners . A considerable number ofthe workmen in this trade submitted to the general masters ' association , on Tuesday , a declaration signed by their entire number , in which they expressed their readiness to withdraw from the general combined union of the building trades , and to form a society of their own . The general masters' association referred the consideration of this declaration te the master joiners , who met on Tuesday evening , at the Clarence Hotel ; and after the men's declaration had been read and discussed , they came to the resolution that it was not sufficiently explicit as to the nature ofthe new society which the men proposed to establish . Itwas at least doubtful whether it was proposed to forma general society for carpenters and joiners only , extending over a considerable district , or part of the

      Kingaom ; or whether the men contemplated merely the formation of a local society . The matter was submitted by the master joiners to a general meeting ofthe masters' association , held on Wednesday last , and that body appointed a sub-committee to take charge of the matter , and to represent their feelinfi on she subject to the workmen signing that declaration . Some _negotiation ensued , and the men subsequently made tbeir declaration more plain and explicit , and on Friday sent a deputation , by whom it was laid before a general meeting of the masters' association , at their office , No . 1 , Dacie-place . The declaration , as amended , was then read over , and after a short conversation , the meeting of the mas ters association _unanimously adopted the following resolution ;—

      " That the _declarrtion signed By a number ofthe operative carpenters and joiners is deemed satisfactory ; and that the masters be allowed to employ those men who have attached , or may attach , their names to such _declara tion , which shall be published in the Manchester newspapers . "

      i * J _HiFW _^ _?* uestod tJ » t Parties _^ _althoug-Mhe best Chartists who are ttn & c _^ _nwd-to _africtu tural work , will . abstain from _wmmgrfrbm London and elsewhere in search of employment . Every man of common feeling and common sense should understand that poor men and- "their successorswill be paying rent for ever according to the amount ef money the arrangement and building of their allotments and cottages may cost . This notice-is given because two poor fellows , wholly unaccustomed to agricultural labour , walked from' London last week in search of employment and were ' sent back . Another hearty looking fellow came and pressed so hard , and was so much fatigued , that ' ll did omnlov

      him and he is not worth sixpence a day leave the first poor fellows 2 s . 6 d . but I _wilLnot pay a farthing to others that come , and I request that ho person will induce men to come down in the hope of getting employment as it is painful to my feelings to refuse them and _ty doesn't suit my pocket to relieve them . The two men who came on Monday last and returned ark kot to comb , again as there is no work for them . _^ Now _, I know that this course subjects me to much enmity , which , in the long run , moulds itself into general opposition ; but I am determined to brave it , and if I have been a fool with my own money I'll make amends by "being hard and honest with the people ' s . .

      seventeen years of age , named WilJiam iiowman , residing with his brother , who is a hairdresser , in Clive-street , North Shields , wason Sunday discovered to have hung himself under the following extraordinary circumstances : —On Sunday , their father visited them from Newcastle , and , on his return in the evening , the elder brother accompanied him to the train , leaving the deceased in the house . On the brother ' s return he found the door locked inside . The door was broken open , when the unfortunate youth was found suspended from the ceiling , quite dead . The deceased was dressed precisely similar to a culprit whom he had recently seen executed , and his neck was protected from the cord by apillow which had been placed between it and the rope . A nightcap was pulled over his face , and his legs were tied

      together , and he seemed to have made an attempt to pinion his arms , but one was at liberty , having , it is supposed , got loose during the poor fellow ' s struggles . _^ The * rope was drawn through a ring-bolt in the ceiling , and a chair was placed near him , from which ho is supposed to have thrown himself . No reason whatever can be assigned for the act . The deceased was generall y considered an active and intelligent lad ; and it is a singular fact that he has ior years visited every execution which has taken place in London , where the parties belong , having resided only a few months at Shields . " He frequently conversed about hanging , and expressed a belief that it was no punishment at all , being an easy death . An inquest was held on Tuesday , when the Jury returned a verdict , " That the deceased had hung himsell in a fit of temporary iasanjty . "

      ESCAPE OF PRINCE LOUIS BXJONA . PARTE . V On Monday last , the Prince succeeded in effectin ghis escape from the Fortress of Ham _> after a close imprisonment of some years . Having assumed the . disguise of a workman , he contrived to elude the vigilance of the sentries ; to regain his freedom without any molestation from tbe battalion of infantry that formed the garrison of the castle ; and to arrive safely in London , where , we believe , he is this moment . We say this affords us gratil fication , not because we are at all tinged witli Buonapartist sympathies , not that we at a !) favour the designs of this very foolish prince who cannot ( or . at least could not ) see that France

      wanted no _IKafolkon II ., but the Republic , no Imperialism but Democracy , no Throned individual but the Sovereignty of the People ; bat we are gratified , because we think the prince has been harshly treated by those who much more deserve the . _^ dungeon than he did . Looia BuOKArARTB is at the worst a foolish man , but his persecutors are traitors to France and to mankind , and therefore we are heartily glad that he has escaped from their clutches . It is well known that forsome time past Prince Louis has earnestly desiicd once moro to see his aged father , whose precarious state of health leaves little hope that his life will be much further prolonged . For this purpose he memorialised the French Government for bis temporary liberation on

      parole ; offering his word of honour as security for his return to tbe chateau of Ham so soon as his filial attentions should cease to be required . The prayer of this memorial was refused ; and no other course , therefore , remained to the Prince than tho one he has accomplished with such singular good fortune . In another column will be found an account of the serious riots at Elbeuf . France is beginning to reap some of the troubles as well as the profits of the manufacturing system . The latest accounts from the scene of these disorders state that tranquillity was preserved by the aid of a strong body of military ; other arrests have been made to the number of thirteen or fourteen . For the following remarks we are indebted to a correspondent : —

      THE ItfS AMD THE OTJl ' 8 , The daily papers ot Paris have been recently engaged in a squabble about the old adage of M . Thiers : "The King reigns , but does not govern . " _jThis commenced in the ministerial Journal des _Defcats with a furious attack upon Thiers , who , of course , failed not to reply , Itisamere electioneering speculation for the _purpose of securing majorities in the next general election , the chambers beiug about to be dissolved as soon as the budget is voted . Tne ministerial papers , the parties in office , pronounce their approval of the interference of the king in government affairs ; the party out of office , M . _Thleis and his paper , the _Coiislitut ' onnel , proclaims snch interterence to be most dangerous and intolerable in a country like France . The most interesting points in the whole

      discussion are the disclosures made of the way in which Louis Philippe interferesin the business of the country . M . Thiers relates in the plainest possible manner , that the King strives always to get his private creatures into office , that he has a candidate for the command of every man-of-war ( thus competing with the creatures of the ministers ) , that if his will be not acceded to by ministers , he plots secretly against them , that if bis private wishes , as to foreign affairs do notprerail in tbe council , he sends secret orders to the Ambassadors at foreign courts , that he carries on secret correspondence with all influential employe ' s . It _jta the more ridiculous to complain at this very moment about personal interference on the part of the King , when every paper gives daily proofs of the absolute control over all affairs of government which is exercised by the "haute bourgeois" the large capitalists . But M . Thiers and his complaints represent the " petite

      bourgeois ! , " the inferior ranks of the middle classes , who being oppressed by the enormous weight of the " gros-bourgeois" commence to pronounce louder and louder th : ir dissatisfaction with the present state of things . How all-powerful the large capitalists are in France , how well they know how to concentrate the political leadership in their own hands , is shown by the new "loide patente" which passed some time ago ( I believe last year' and by whieh the numbar of voters in all France was reduced from 200 , 000 to 150 , 000 . Both the ministerial papers and M . Thiers ' s paper reproach each other , that their respective policy would lead to a revolution and the establishment of a republic . The National Who , Of course , enjoys this quarrel very much takes these two confessions down and says , "If these two great heroes , M . Guizot and M . Thiers , both insist that tlieir policy is counter-revolutionary , we have only to bow and to retire with a' Thank you , gentlemen' !"

      Important questions agitate the Prussian division of

      GERMANY . The long-promised constitution it is now said is ready , and will be made public almost immediately . An ecclesiastical synod has been convoked to meet in Berlin on Whit Monday , for the purpose of strengthening the Church against the assaults ofthe Rationalists . Silesia is in a disordered state , the unhappy people showing every inclination to imitate the Polish peasantry in engaging in an agrarian revolt . Last , not least , financial difficulties add to the embarrass ments ofthe Government , and have given rise to a measure involving a further departure from the solemn pledges given by the Crown to the people . On this subject we have been favoured with the following communication from our German Correspondent : —

      VIOLATION OP THE PRUSSIAN CONSTITUTION . There exists ajaw in Prussia _^ dated 22 nd of June , 1820 , forbidding the King to contract any State Debts without the sanction of the States General , an assembly which it is very well known , does not yet _esist in . "Prussia . This law is the only guarantee the Prussians bave for ever getting the constitution which , since 1815 , has been promised to them . The fact of the existence of such a law not being generally known out of Prussia , the government succeeded in 1323 in borrowing three millions t > f pounds in England—first violation . After the French revolution of 1880 , the Prussian government beiug obliged to make extensive preparations for a war wliich was then likely to break out , they not having any money , made the " interests for transatlantic trade , " a government concern , borrow twelve millions of dollars ( £ 1 , 700 , 000 ) . which , of course , were under the guarantee

      of the government , and spent by the government—second violation . Not to speak of the small violations , such as loans of a few hundred thousands of pounds by the same _coneern , the King of Prussia has , at this moment , committed a third great violation . Tho credit of this concern being as it seems exhausted , the Bank of Prussia , being just in the same way , exclusively , a government concern ,. has been empowered by the King to issue bank notes to the amount of ten millions of dollars ( £ 1 , 350 , 000 . ) This deducting 3 _j millions as deposit and | millions for the increased expences of tlie establishment , amounts in reality to an " indirect loan" of six millions of dollars or nearly one million of pounds , wliich the government win be responsible { or , as up to this time no private capitalists are partners to the Bank of Prussia , It io to be hoped that the Prussians , particularly the middle classes , who are most interested in the constitution , will net let this pass without an energetic protest .

      The Austrian government has forbidden the entrance of the Paris Charivari into its dominions . Caustic comments on the G & lician ' ¦ nvice of blood " is said to be the unpardonable sin which has elicited exclusion . From Ipoland ; we have intelligence of a signal act of retribution which has justly consigned three traitors to the gallows * A letter from Cracow , of the 15 th instant , states that the three peasants who arrested Pantaleon PotocW , near Siedlec , and gave him up to the authorities , and who for that service , had received the Order of Merit from Prince Paskiewitsch , had been

      recently found hanging by the neck in a neighbouring forest with the medals on their breasts . According to the Vienna correspondent of the Universal German Ganette of the 23 rd , a conspiracy hail just been discovered at "Rzezow , and several persons arrested . One of the four prisoners who escaped about three weeks ago from the fortress of Neisse was recaptured at "Berlin last week . Ho is an officer named _UssowrKi , who took a leading part ia the Polish insurrection . The rascally Prussian government continues to act the part of "jackal to the Tsar '' in hunting down victims for the knout and ! Siberia . How long will the Prussian people continue to submit to this infamy . Liberalism is advancing in

      _BELGIUM ; and the hitherto uncontrolled rule of the Jesuits is likely to be upset before long . Letters from SPAIN report the assassination of Don Leoncio Rubin de Cells , who headed the insurrection in Gallicia , and fled afterwards into Portugal . Tbe unfortunate officer was murdered by two Portuguese , _TKhohad been hired to commit the act by persons of high station who would have been compromised by the disclosures which Don Rubin had threatened to make . These persons , it is said , had urged Don Rubin _towmmence an insurrectionary movement , aad then abandoned him .

      Riots At Elb05uft Near Havre. Rouen, Sun...

      RIOTS AT ELB _05 UFt NEAR HAVRE . Rouen , _Sunhat . —On _Friday nignt last , by the last train from Paris , information reached ftouen that a _soriousriot _hadjtaken place among the working population at Elboauf , who had showr _* themselves determinedly opposed to the _introduction , of machinery , and the master manufacturers sent a request _for an armed force to assist the Garde National Wd _Quadarmerie of tho place in restoring order . About fifty 'persons , comprised of men , women , and children , had . assembled on the previous night , just before sunset , wi'Jn the avowed determination to destroy a ma * chine that had been introduced into one of tbe factories

      Riots At Elb05uft Near Havre. Rouen, Sun...

      bya _; M , Aroux , a wealthy manufacturer , in . the town of Elbosuf . On . that occasion , I learn , they , ; assembled . in front Of the principal entrance of if . Aroux ' s factory , and demanded in menacing terms that the obnoxious machine should be given up to them . As their demands were not complied with , they proceeded to extremities , and seising every missile that came to hand ; ihey wantonly destroyed all the Windows in the factory . Between twenty and thirty of the National Garde of the place , the greatest number that could be suddenly assembled , with their commandant and the mayor of the town at their head , and accompanied by a few gendarmes and munieipalguard , made the best opposition they could to the rioters .: As the night wa * fast setting in , the mob withdrew to their respective hoB _* _es . » •¦ - ¦¦ _¦ - ¦

      By the time of which I ai » speaking ( nine o ' clock ) , no assistance had arrived from JSfouen , and _ik Aroux , thinking to pacify the crowd _withond resorting to the extremity of using physical force , came _cutte them from' his faetory _, _and , addressing some of hi » own workmen , exhorted tiiem to return to their work _peacsably . Hisattempts at reconciliation , however , wero received by the most discordant yells and menaces of destruction ; and he was glad to escape from them with his liar . The Procureur du Koi , and the Mayor then addressed t _* * : mselves _to'sonie of the prineipalgronps , and were more fortunato rothtir _cxhortations than M . Aroux , for they succeeded- in' prevailing on the crowd to withdraw , and the- workmen to return to their _foetories . Fears , however , were still entertained _that'the _dissntafaction ofthe people had not been removed , and that it would exhibit itself anew when the men _sheuld'be leaving the factories at dinner hour , The precaution was-therefore taken of blockading the streets with all the armed men that could be mustered for the occasion .

      This precaution was soon seen to have been a wise one , for the bell which announced the dinner hour summoned crowds of thc rioters to thu _"Plaee-du-Cul-aire . _^ The mob first insisted on thu obnoxious machine being given up to them , and swore with loud oaths , that if their demand was not complied with , tliey would demolish the factory in which it was placed . Without waiting for any reply , the garde national , and those who had banded with them fer defence , were attacked by a shower of paving stones and other missiles , and many of them were seriously wounded at the first onslaught ., The mob then tore down by main force a new house in the course of construction ,

      and converted the materials into weapons of destruction , WbiCh they used with the most murderous intention upon such of the authorities and their armed foroe as had not had the good fortune to take refuge in the factory ol M . Aroux . Even this did not avail them long as a place of retreat from the fury of the mob , for tbe doors were goon burst open , the furniture of the lower part © f the house was destroyed , and everything that could be laid hands upon was seized for making barricades , from behind which the few armed men in the town were attacked by a part ofthe crowd , while the other part assailed those who had fled for refuge within the walls of the factory .

      Just as the riot was at its height , a body of 400 men , belonging to the 31 st regiment , in garrison at Rouen , arrived on the spot . Tbe rioters at first thought to _h-ire the troops ofthe line on their side , and hailed them with cries of" Vive la ligne ; hut the soldiers of the line were faithful to their duty ; and on their commander giving them the order to load tlieir pieces in presence of the mob , the latter immediately fled , and never attempted thc slightest resistance . Seventeen of the ringleaders were arrested , arid sent under escort on board the steamboat to Rouen . —Morning Paper .

      Militarv " Porces Of The Pope. — The Rep...

      _Militarv " porces of THE Pope . — The repeated political disturbances that took place last year in the Papal Statess , have caused a re-organization ofthe military department , and an important increase of the armed force . A beginning was last year made , by thc introduction of a new system of discipline , and the work has now been completed by Cnnliiml Lombruschini ' " Organic Administrative jRegu / a tions for the Domestic Standing Army ofthe Pontificate . " According to these new regulations the Ministry of War is made to depend directly on the Secretary of State . In this department is especially included thc affairs of the entire land and sea forees ofthe Papal States , with the exception of the police , of which the governor of Rome will continue to be the head . The military strength of the states is for the amount fixed as follows ;—Artillery ,, 1 , 024 men and 109 horses ; veterans , 429 ; grenadiers , 1 A 5 &;

      fusiliers , 4 , 625 ; dragoons , -754 and 555 horses ; chasseurs , 2-55 and 206 horses ; quarantine corps , 3 &; marines , 46 , correction eorps , 120 ; and one corps of invalids . The police consists of one regiment of carabineers , 2 , 431 men and 413 horses , and one corps of bersagUeri , or sharpshooters , 932 men and 1 , 382 horses . To these are to be added twe- regiments of Swiss in garrison at Bologna and _Forlir tobe increased by six or eight troops—tlie Italian Corps de Reserve in the provinces , the Swiss body-guard of the Pope , 110 men , and his guardia nobile , whose number fluctuates according to necessity . The present fortified places of the popedom are—first elass _, Rome , Mont _Angelo , and Cologna second class , Ancona , Civita Vecchia , Civita Castcllana , and Ferrare ; third class , Forli , Duligno , _Macero-ta , Pesaro , Perugia , Ravenna , San _Lt-o , Spoieto , and Terracina .

      Affairs at . Bokneo . —We have intelligenee- _e-f painful interest from Borneo , arising out of tliose desperate acts of piracy so prevalent on that island . Mr . Brookes , of Sarawak , had communicated to-the Governor-General of India that Pangeran Badreddeen had been attacked , by order of the Sultan , of Borneo Proper , at some place near Labuan Island . The Rajah dei ' e'hded himself bravely , but being seriously wounded , he retired into his house , and called his wile and sister , and then ordered his servants- to bring him a barrel of gunpowder . He took his ring from his finger , and gave it to the servant desiring him to take it to Mr . Brookes , and immediately fired the powder , thus destroying himself and _faniily , about thirty in number , who were all blown _thro-ngh the root ' s of the _houaca . But besides his own family , there were many others destroyed who were well disposed towards the English , and who have assisted in _outtinff down Diracv . which the Sultan is determined

      to revive at all hazards . He has ordered forts to- be built at the entrance of all the small rivers ; and he now bids defiance to the English . The Rajah ' s- ring was subsequently taken by . force from the servant , but the man made his escape and got on board her Majesty ' s ship Hazard . lie warned the captain not to land on that part [ of the coast , as thc Sultan had given orders to capture all the English , move especially the captains . The Hazard then proceeded to Sarawak ( to Mr . Brooks ) , and from thence to- Singapore . The Sultan bas ordered Mr . Brookes to be poisoned , or killed in any way that may present itself . ' Mr . Brookes has requested that a steamer may be sent to Sarawak . Colonel Butterworth has , in consequence ordered the Phlegethon to proceed there , and placed herself under the orders of Mr . Brookes . But men of war will soon be on the coast , and tlie Sultan will then get a dressing . —Skipping _Gasette ,

      Thocblks in Italy . —A letter from Rome , in the Augsburg Gazette , states that the Papal Government has received confidential communications from London and Paris , announcing that the revolutionary propagandists in those capitals are actively exerting themselves to renew the attempts at insurrection in Italy .

      War Between The United States And Mexico...

      WAR BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO . Livkbpool , Thursday Night . The arrival of the Royal Mail steamer , Cambria ,, Captain Judkins , this afternoon , furnishes us witki the important intelligence that war had commenced ) on the Tcxian frontier with Mexico , tliat an engager . ment had taken place with General Arista , and that the Americans had been worsted ; that a large body of tho Mexican army had { crossed tlie Rio Grande _^ had surrounded Ueneral Taylor ' s encampment , cutting off his communication with Point Isabel , wbe _^ _oo he drew his supplies , and that great fears were entertained for the safety of the force under _Geasral Taylor , unless they were relieved by large and speedy supplies . For this purpose , General _Taylctir _ikad . mauo a requisition on tho Governors of Alabama , Mississipi , and Texas , for aid , a bounty often . dollavs a man being offered , a good many hands _hadftffcred themselves , and several steamers were _abouti to sail from New Orleans to the seat of war .

      i he arrival of the news at _Washingtaa-. caused the greatest _excitementjjjand a Bill providing lor the existing state of war between the United States and the republic of Mexico w & y , iiamediately passed , and received the sanction . o . f * 1 ihe Pre Sident . The bill appropriates the suaii ot" ten mSl-. lions of dollars towards carrying on the- "war , aad empowers the President to employ _tionwlitia , tlie naval and military forces of the United States , and to call for and accept theservi _« Bs , o . fany mimbev of volunteers , not exceeding , fifty thousand men , Further accounts were lwunly looked for

      with the most intense anxiety in all , kht : cities from New Orleans to Boston , as it was fully expected that General Taylor's encampment would be attacked forthwith . The President ' s message far communicating tho existence of the war to tha Senate is as usaal pretty long , and in it he enters , upon what _b- intended as a justification of the course whic ! fe has been pursued by the United States _towards its southern neighbour . The crowded state ofl » our columns prevents us giving this document .. Immediately on the passing of the war bill , the President issued the following proclamation : —

      "BY THE PRESIDENT OF _THjfi UNITED STATES OF AMERICA . —A PROCLAMATION . __ " Whereas the Congress of the United States , by virtue ofthe constitutional _authority vested in them , have declared bv their act , heaving ! date this day , tbat by the act of thc republic of Mexico a state of war exists between the two Governments : now therefore I , James K .
