    FRANCE . The calm which has reigned in the Assembly since the notable failure of the interpellations of M . Hovys-Trancbere , was interrupted on Thursday by astoi .-ny debate , raised npontbe ri ghts of labour . The Constituent Assembly ordered , on the 25 th of May , ' 1848 , that a sreat inquiry upon the queation of ag ricultural and industrial labour should be opened throughout the length and breadth of Praaca . A list of twenty-r . ine questions' was addres $ « d to each of the justices of the peace of the 2 , 84 ? canton 3 of France ; and in each canton a comnmtee , composed of an equal number of workmen end master . - ' , was formed to draw up answers

    t 9 the questions proposed by the Committee of Inquiry . More than 2 , 000 cantons sent in their reporU . A Legislative Committee , having been appoini-d to present an analysis of these numerous documents to the Assembly , has ju 3 t reported , by the ofian of M . Lefebre-Darufle , tbat the fruits of this inquiry pursued throughout the whole territory of the Republic for the space of three years are won !) nothing , and the committee has nothing betttr to propose than to bury the 2 , 000 reports of the French cantons in the archives of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce . Thia singularly

    impotent conclusion called out on Monday from the ranks af the Mountain a genuine champion of the worLinz classes , himself a son of toil , a mason nams-l Sadaud , representative for the department of Crenze . The tone of conviction which rings out dear « rnn » the breast of an orator who has lived among the facts to which he bears witness , wou for M . $ adaad , in spite of much interruption , more attention on the whole than would have been accorded to thft most elcquent of his party . A proposition that these documents should be deported in the Assan-. y y was carried after a two days' stormy debai * .

    M . de Gsrminy , the Minister of Finance , has presented the Dotation Bill , which has been referred to the bureaux . On the demand of the French government , M . Felix Pyat has been expelled from Switzerland . On Tuesday the Assembly had proceeded to discuss -he demand made by Al . Cheron for authorisation tc arrest M . Mautuin , when M . Cheron sent in a leclaration , saying lie desisted from his prosecution , and so the matter ended .

    SCHLESWIG HOLSTEIN . T ! : a Sisdthoiders of Holstein have resigned in fa-TOurof the new provisional frovernment . In their proclamation the Sudlholders state that the Uermaoic Confederation intends to protect the established relations bstween Schleswig and . Holsteii ; . PRUSSIA . The Sehlesvrig-Holstein motion of Baron von Ansirii aad his section of the opposition , requiring the Ministry to insist on a strict observance of the condiiois made with the late government of the Duchies , has been rejected in the Committee to whte-i it was referred by six votes against four . It will , therefore , not be brought before the house .

    NAPLES . Ou the llih January placards of a violent and menacing character were afiked to the walls in Pal ? rmo , threatening ' death to the tyrant , * &c . Courier bills were immediately placarded , with sentinels to guard theui , accepting the defiance , but assuring the inhabitants that any interruption of the jmhlic tranquillity would he followed by speedy and condign punishment . Several arrests have , in ctnueqoence , taken place , and two men , it was rumoured , were to be shot .

    NATIONAL REFORM ASSOCIATION . On Monday ni ght the first of a series of monthly soirees , under the auspices nf the National Reform Association was held at the London Tavern , Bishopsgate-jtreet , when a lecture on Parliamentary anil Financial Reform was delivered by Mr . Hume , M . P . The large room was crowded to the door , a considerable proportion of the company being composed of the fair sex . Tea was served up in au adjouruiug apartment , and at seven o ' clock the more important business of the evening was commenced by a glee party singing the " Pe < iplfc ' s Antbem . "

    Sir J . \ VAiMSLEr then proposed that Mr . Hume , the old and indomitable friend of the people , should take the chair . Their object was to instruct the people , and his hon . friend ( Mr . Hume ) , on learning that snch meetings were proposed , at once approved of the arrangement , and declared that he would himself deliver the first lecture . ( Cheers . ) It had been said tbat the people were apathetic and indifferent to the question of their political rights ; but , if this was the case , their leaders alone were to Mame . ( Hsar , hear . ) They should not teach the people to follow after collateral modes of reform—( hear , hear)—but , on the contrary , to go boldly to their object . There was no one present who would not support freehold land societies ; hut it should be . borne in mind that it was the man ' s natural right

    they asked , and not a right men-ly hosed upon land . ( Cheers . ) They must remamber that in this country it wa 3 by agitation that almost every great object had been gained ; and as they were told by the Prime Minister himseli that the people did not require reform , seeing they had not asked eagerly for it , his advice to them wss to knock loudly at the door of the constitution till every man entitled to the franchise obtained his ri ght . ( Cheers . ) It was not by freehold plans alone that they ws ; re to sei-k the extension of the franchise . He did not undervalue such plans ; they were good as political engines ; but their first duty was to go boldly to their purpose , and demand that men ,. whether ihey possessed la ; id or no ' , should be admitted to their rights , ( Cfcsers . )

    Mr . Home , on taking the chair , said , he did noi appear there to deliver what was calh-d a lecuir . " , for he was no lecturer , anil -nwer wrote a speech in his life . It was his belief ihat many were not aware what that association , as a body of Reformers , sought for , and that many were alarmed in consequence of what had recently taken place en the continent . He therefore concurred with his hon . friend Sir J . Walmsley in thinking that the National Association should have a series of monthly meetings of the kind now bald , for the purpose of giving accurate information , to the public , and showin g them that the only mode of avoiding ? itch

    occurreuces as had taken place on the continent was by adopting the princi ples whicb the National society maintained . ( Hear . ) lie was kr taking a strai ght forward course ; he was for slating ; boldly and distinctly what he wanted , and calling upon those who l&i a monopoly of political ijower to give up their mosGpuly and extend to " all the people their just rights . ( Cheers . ) His principle was that every man who contributed to the . support of the government wa 3 entitled to a voice In the election of s representative ; and he believed that all the reforms which he contended for could beobtnined under our present constitution of Queen , Lords , av . d Cora mons—a system of government with which he was

    perfectly satisfied . The hon . gentleman then quoted passages from Blaclcstone and other authorities in favour of the docirinu that taxation and representation ought lo go together . Without a thorough control on the part of the people , it was altogether impossible to check those abuses in Parliament of which they were perpetually complaining . If the people had possessed their full Tights : ii _ would have been imyo 5 > ibie , for instance , to carry out such a

    job is that perpclraud last se-sioa , whtn £ 12 , 000 a year was given to the Duke of Cambridge , a young man who had done naihing whatever lo merit such bauniy . He had had the curosity to consult an actuary as to the value of this annual il owance paid to the Duke of Cambridge , and was informed that , if brought into the market , it would realize £ 223 , 000- ( bear , hear ) -so that a 1 Offcn to that extent had actually been laid upon the peopie of this country . ( Hear , hear . ) Instead ol

    every person- who contributed to the burdens of the State having a vote , not more than one in six possessed that right . One reason giving for withholding the franchise was , that the people did not come forward to demand it . Now , it was no doubt true that the people were at present well employed , and receiving good w ages / and did not'take up this question with the energy which . they ought to exi hibit . This , however , was the : very time to do justice , and , if it was not now done , the period would amvewhen that justice would be extorted by threats . ( Cheers . ) The franchise was not * only confined to a small portion of the people , "but it also operated most unequall y , as was shown by a variety of facts bearing upon the representation in .. .

    the National Reform Almanack .. The true way to get rid of improper taxation Was thoroughly to reform the Houre of Commons . At present , as much agitation was spent in opposing , a particular tax , such as the window-tax , as would , if properly directed , enable them to get rid of the anomalous state of the House of Commons altogether , and g ive the people the fuU direction of their own affairs . ( Hear , hear . ) The hon . gentleman then went into a variety of finaucial statements to show the excessive burdens under which the country ; labnursj and / after advocating vote by ballot ; short Parliaments , ; &c ., strongly urged the necessity of an enlarged system of education for the entire'people . With regard to the Freehold Land Association , he hailed the movement as one that was likelv

    to secure for the reform cause as many "votes as would enable them to wrest their ri ghts from ; the aristocracy ; but then it would be a period of perhaps twenty rears -before this could be effected , while he maintained that they ought not to endure the present system for one day . . ( Hear , bear . ) [ Here a bunch of fine white flowers was sent upon ihe platform hy an unknown friend of the cause , with a request that it should be presented to ; Mr . Hume as a mark of respect , each of the- flowers representing a point in the Charter ; " Mr . Hume , in accepting the gift , remarked that the flowers were white , an emblem , he presumed , of the purity of their motives—a remark . which , the audience received with loud cheers . ] '

    Sir J . Ddkk , M . P . , after a few observations , moved the following resolution : — " That this meeting also offers its sincere and grateful thanks to Mr . Joseph Hume , M . P . , for his valuable and long-continued advocacy of Parliamentary and Financial Reform ; for the great benefits which lie has conferred on the people at large , by bis vigilant attention to their interests ; and , more , especially , for the address , replete with knowledge , instruction , and advice which he has this evening been placed to deliver . " Mr . H . Kennedy seconded the motion which was unanimously agreed to .

    Mr . " Houghtok , a tenant-farmer , who itVasJ iritimated had just subscribed £ 10 to the association , moved the next resolution , and contended that it was impossible for the farmers to grow cheap com under the heavy taxation which now pressed them down . The resolution was as follows : —¦ " That this assembly desires , to express . its implicit conn-<' ence in the president and council of the National and Financial Reform Association , whose labours they , cannot too fully appreciate , anij wliosa principles and objects they determine to support . " Mr . Slack seconded the resolution , which was also unanimously carried .

    Mr . La . Blonde said , they had held 200 meetings last year , and the expanses had been met by the funds of the association . But he liegzed to state that the amount ' of . the subscriptions was contem ' - tinly small . He hoped the ladies would give them all the support in their power , for if they succeeded in the objects they had in view they would get their tea and sugar nnd every other necessary of life much cheaper than at present , . . . At intervals during the proceedings the glee party favoured the meeting with music set to words suited to the objects of the association , aud the party separated a little before ten o ' clock .

Mazzini has evidently no desire for his army to risk an encounter with the R anch army of occupation . Some part of the Neapolitan territory will probably be the point

    selected at first . It « calculiVed that in the first encounter any portion of the Neapolitan troops ihat may oppose the' army of liberation' will be worsted ; and that is to be considered-as a . signal for the simultaneous rising of the patriots of Italy . On the other hand , Garibaldi is expected from New York with two vessels full of volunteers , most of whom have served in Mexico . He has jtiven out that he is proceeding to London , but it is believed that his real destination for the present is Tangier * , and from that point , when the opportune moment arrives , he will try to effect a landing in Naples . All these proceedings are perfectly well known to the . . < - ' - ^ - ' ,... - _ -. .

    Austrian government , as well as the names of those of its Italian subjects who have , either voluntaril y or otherwise , contributed to the Mazziui loan ; and , if the information received may be trusted , the Austrians are determined to enter and occupy the Swiss territory in the spring , in order to put an end once for all to these state of things . No government can stand quietly by and allow its tranquillity to be constantly menaced by those whose avowed object is revolution , and who are not merely sheltered as refugees by a neutral State , but comforted and encouraged . ^ Should the proposed occupation be effected , it must of course interest in the highest degree the French government .

    The Vote Universal' states that it has received letters from Ledru-Rollin , at London , and Felix . Pyat , at Lausanne , depicting the sufferings of the Socialist exiks in these two places during the winter , and asking for assistance . The' Vote Universal' declares that it cannot batter respond to the appeal thus made than by calling on its patriotic readers to make up by subscription a certain sum to be forwarded for the use of the exiled democrats residing in England and Switzerland . Mr . George Thompson , M . P ., has again been leeturing at Boston on the subject of the . negro slavery . A tele graphic despatch of Monday states tha '— ' He calumniated the Bostonians in a shameful manner , and said he blushed for the city , and that acts had been committed here which ma < ie it stink in the

    nostrils of humanity . He abused the union meeting which was held in Faneuil Hall , President Filraore , the South , the Church—in fact , everything American , except the abolition party . He was frequently interrupted in his harangue by indignant hisses and cries . . There would undoubtedly have been a serious disturbance had the fact of the meeting been more generally known . ' ' In Hesse Cassel the officers who resigned their commissions during tbe late crisk will be tried hy a court-martial of Bavarian offic- rs . It is stated at Cassel that a military conveniion had been concluded between the Governments of Autsriaand Hcssa . According to this treaty , the Hessian troops would proceed to Bohemia , and the cities of Hesse would receive Austrian garrisons .

    The Minister of Commerce in Prussia has published a decree , by which part of the Sunday labour in the Prnssian Post-office is ahoiished . It is said that the Frankfort fundamental laws for Germany are abolished , and iris decided tbat all laws , decrees , and enactments which were passed since the 24 th of March , 1848 , will have only a provisional validity . Some time since a Spaniard , named Dias Martinez , challenged General Narvaez to mortal combat . The General referred the matter to the Tribunals , and Martinez was sentenced to banishment for a period of eighteen months from Madrid , and to keep at a certain distance from any spot where Narva « z might happen to be residing . Martinez soon after quitted Spain , and came to Paris . On hearing of Narvapz ' s arrival at Bayonne he quitted Paris

    secretly , in company with General Armery , and proceeded to Bayonne , - determined to call his persecutor to account . Scarcely had they left when a telegraphic despatch communicated the facts to the Sub-prefect of Biyonne , and instructions were given that the travellers ' should be prevented from putting their design in execution , otherwise they were te be treated with all due respect . On their arrival at Bayone they were sent for by the Sub-Prefect , who interrogated them as to their intentions . There was at first some hesitation , but they soon avowed the object they bad in leaving Paris , namely , to challenge Nervafz to mortal combat . The Snb-Pre ' ect had orders to compel , by force , if necessary , their retnrn to Paris without losing sight of them . They were accordingly abided to retrace their steps , and arrived ou Monday night at Bordeaux .

    In Berlin an individual representing himself , according to the police report , as an English general , and named Plantagt . net Harrison , a native of Yorkshire , bas been arrested for alleged frauds committed at Stralsuud in the year 1848 . The accused was arrested near AUona , it is said , and after passing a day in prison there , was forwarded to Stralsund .
