France. The Calm Which Has Reigned In Th...
FRANCE . The calm which has reigned in the Assembly since the notable failure of the interpellations of M . Hovya-Tranchere , was interrupted on Thursday by a st « . rmy debate , raised upon the rights of labour . The Constituent Assembly ordered , on the 25 th of May-1848 , that a great inquiry upon the question of agricultural and industrial labour should ba opened throughout the length and breadth of France . A list of twenty-nine questions was addressed to each of the jasvices of the peace of the 2 , 847 cantons of France ; and in each canton a committee , composed of an equal number of workmen and master * , was farmed ta draw up answers to the questions proposed by the Committee of
Inquiry . More than 2 , 000 cantons sent in their reports . A Legislative Committee , having been appointed to present an analysis of these numerous documents to the Assembly , has just reported , by the oqian of SI . Lefebre-Darufle , that the fruits of this inquiry pursued throughout the whole territory of the Republic for the space of three years are ¦ worth nothing , and the committee has nothing hett ' -r to propose than to bury the 2 , 000 rpporis of the French cantons in the archives of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce . This singularly impotent conclusion called out on Monday from the rank * of the Mountain a genuine champion of the workin * classes , himself a son of toil , a mason namsd Nadaud , representative for the department of Creuze . The tone of conviction which rings out clear frotsi the breast of an orator who has lived
among ; the facts to which he bears witness , won for M . ^ Nadaud , in spite of much interruption , more attention on the whole than would have been accorded to the most eloquent of his party . A proposition that these documents should be deported in the Assembly was carried afier a two days' stormy debate . M . de Garminy , the Minister of Finance , has presented the Dotation Bill , which has been referred to the bureaux . On the demand of the . French government , M . Tehx Pyat has been expelled from Switzerland . On Tuesday the Assembly had proceeded to discuss the demand made by IVf . Cheron for authorisation to arrest M . Mau ^ uin , when M . Cheron sent in a declaration , saying he desisted fr 0 m his prosecution , and so the matter ended .
SCHLESWiG HOLSTE 1 N . The Stadtholders of Holstein have resigned in favour of the new provisional jrovernment . la their proclamation the Stadtholders slate that the Germanic Confederation intends to protect the established relations between Sehleswig and Holstein . PRUSSIA . The Schleswig-IIoIsiein motion of Baron von Arr ' un and his section of the opposition , requiring the Ministry to insist on a strict observance of the condi'Joas made with the hte government of the Duchies , has been rejected in the Committee to which it was referred by six votes against four . It will , therefore , not be brought hefore the house .
NAPLES . On the 11 th January placards of a viol-nt and menacing character were affiled to the walls in Palermo , threatening * death to the tyrant , ' & c . Counter hills were immediately placarded , with sentinels to guard them , accepting the defiance , but assuring the inhabitants that any interruption of the public tranquillity would he followed hy speedy and condign punishment . Several arrests have , in consequence , taken place , and two men , it was rumoured , were to be shot .

The Austrian Troops Entered Hamburgh On ...
The Austrian troops entered Hamburgh on Jan . 29 th , amid a dead silence on the part of the people assembled to see them . They are already doing duty in the market place . The Emperor has granted a pardon to Count Zichy , formerl y governor of Venice , who was sentenced to imprisonment in a fortress . The five dragoons who were said to have deserted from Caprarola have returned to Rome ; th ^ y had only indulged in a pleatnre trip . Several political
arrests have been made at Rome , both French and Soman Soldiers being employed in that service . Seven individuals , five of whom are understood to be French non-commissionfed officers , have bten arrested at the Hotel del Falcone . Rumours are current as to the existence of an ill-feeling between the French and Roman troops ; General Gemeau has even proposed the disarming of nearly all the latter . Disturbances , cnated , it is said , by the republicans still occur now and then in the streets of Rome but the crowds generally disperse at the appearance of a patrol .
Intelligence from Vienna of the 29 ib nit . states that another conspiracy his been discovered , extended in its ramifications . It seems that even part of the garrison of Vienna bad b ^ en implicated . The 4 th of March was fixed for a general outbreak . Seventy persons , students , citizens , aod officers on calf-pay , have been arrested . Three battalions of the garrison of Visnna have been sent to the provinces . Rewards have been offered far the apprehension of those persons who attempted to gain the soldiers . The Austrian press will not be allowed to notice these facts .
In Paris M . Mauguin , in the explanations which he has given to the committees , maintains that the debt for which he was sued was not a commercial oae , but a hill payable to order , which he had signed to exonerate his son from a debt to that amount which he had contracted with M . Cheron . The debt which is only 1 , 093 francs , dates as far back as 1844 . The report present , d by the Committee recoirnaenils the authorisation of M . Maguin ' s arrest . It was supposed that a decisive battle would be fought in the Prussian chambers on the 31 st ult . by the divers parties , on the occasion of an election for president , and that Count Schwerin , wbo is considered too liberally iacHned , would not he reelected ; the result has turned but otherwise , for he has been re-elected by a majority of ISO against Count Cornim with 106 votes .
A prisoner in the Siadtvogii , in Berlin , named Arodt , has determined 10 starve himself to death , and has persisted in his refusal of all nourishment for six days , nor can Euy effort indues him to take any . The disturbances at Interlaken have been put do w n , bat been reduced to a considerable extenr . The ? KoJaer Zeitung' slates that this tranquillity may be likened to an armistice ; and that , ou the
one hand , the government was not prepared to go beyond the limits of the constitution of 1 S 46 , while on the ether the leaders of the opposition were too cunning to p \» b matters la the last aud most dangerous extremity . The authorities « re not strong enough to volunteer a struggle with the opposition , and ihe opposition bides its time and waits for a favourable opportunity . In the meanwhile the two par . ies continue a word y war in the press , which is unequalled in animosity and virulence .
The 'Univere / a French paper , publishes a long addres ? , sent by the association of the working classes of Glasgow for the proueiion of repose upon the Sabbath to the Count de Moutakmhert , congratulating him on bis report of the better observance of the Sabbath . The ' Times' corrcspodent has the following : — ' Private letters from Geneva of the 29 tb ulr . state that the refugees , Freach , Poles , Germans , kalians , & c , who had been sent into the canton of Vaud have
all returned to that city and its nei ghbourhood . Mazimiis still in Geneva ; and for some time past has been actively engaged iu the recalling service of the revolution . He has money in abundance ; but it is certain that these resources do not proceed , as had fcenatenrdl yiiated in some of the Paris and Swiss Socialist journals , from the English elergv out of hatred to the Pope , ' but rather from rich fam-. fo 33 Lomhard y and other parts or Italy , several of whom , there is little doubt , have acted under iimiaidavion , and the threat of the confiscation of
thtir property in the event of the insurrection now in cuuree of preparation in Italy succeeding . But from whatever source the revolutionary treasury is sn : ? p 1 ir , l , it is affirmtd that money is in abundance at Mazzim ' s head-quarters . Kumbars of m en—ihe Tar gr eater part refugees—are recruited , receive paj ia advance , and are regularly draughted « , ff to England , whence a part of this new esnedition will set out . A c -nsiderable sum is set apart for the purchase of arms also in England , and these calculations seem to be made as if the certainty existed of eotnplttivig the preparations for again fighting the flame of civil war over the whole of the Italan Peninsuh .
The expedition , when stffidcnt in numbers and cguipmenif , will not proceed in the first instance to any part of the Roman territory . Mazzini has evidently no desire for hia army to risk an encounter with the F . each axmy of occupation . Some part of the Neapolitan territory will probabl y be the point

selected at first . It is calculated that in the first encounter any portion of the Neapolitan troops that may oppose the army of liberation' will he worstedI ; and that is to be considered as a signal for the simultaneous rising of the patriots of Italy . On the other band , Garibaldi is expected from New York with two vessels full of volunteers , most of whom have served in Mexico . He has given out that he is proceeding to London , hut it is believed that his real destination f < w the present » Tanniers , and from that point , when the opportune moment arrives , he will try to effect a landing in Naples . AH these proceedings are perfectly well known to the
Austrian government , as well as the names of thoss ol its Italian subjects who have , either voluntarily or otherwise , contributed to the Mazzini loan ; and , if the information received may be trusted , the Austrian * are determined to enter and occupy the Swiss territory in the spring , in order to put 80 end onca for all to these state of things . No government can stand qnietiy 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 coarse interest in the highest degree the French government . '
1 he'Vote Universal' states that it has received letters from Ledru-Rollin , at Loudon , and Felix-Pyat , at Lausanne , depicting the sufferings of the Socialist exiles in these two places during the winter , and asking for assistance . The' Vote Universal' declares that it cannot better respond to the appeal thus made than by calling on its patriotic readers to make up by subscription a certain snm to be forwarded for the use of the exiled democrats residing in England and Switzerland . Mr . George Thompson , M . P ., has again been leetaring at Boston on the rubject of the negro slavery .
A telpgraphic despatch of Monday states tha . —* He calumniated the Bostonians in a shameful manner , and said he blushed for the city , and that acts bad been committed here which made it stink in the nostrils of humanity . He abused the union meeting which was held in Faneuil Hall , President Filroore , the Sooth , the Church—in fact , every thine American , except the abolition party . He was frequently interrupted in his harangue by indignant hisses and cries . There woold undoubtedly have been a tenons di & tuvbarice had \ he fact oi the meeting been more generally known . '
In Hesse Cassel the officers who resigned their commissions during the late crisis will be tried hy a court-martial of Bavarian offic-rs . It is stated at Cassel that a military-convention had been concluded between the Governments of Autsria and Hesse . 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 Prussian Post-office is abolished . It is said that the Frankfort fundamental laws for Germany are abolished , and it is decided that all laws , decrees , and enactments which were passed since the 24 tb of Match , 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 Narvaez might happen to be residing . Martinez & oon after quitted Spain , and came to Paris . On hearing of Narvaez ' 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 tbev left when
a telegraphic despatch communicated the facts to the Sub-prefect of Bayonne , and instructions were given that the travellers should be prevented from putting their design in execution , otherwise they were to 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 had in leaving Paris , namely , to challenge Ne . rvaez to mortal combat . The Sub-Pre ect had orders to compel , by force , if necessary , their return to Paris without losing sight of them . They were accordingly obliged to retrace their steps , and arrived on Monday night at Bordeaux .
In Berlin an individual representing himself , according to the police report , as an English general , and named Plantagenet Harrison , a native of Yorkshire , has been arrested for alleged frauds committed at Stralsund in the year 1848 . The accused was arrested near Altona , it is said , and after passings day in prison there , was forwarded to Stralsund .
National Reform Association. On Monday N...
NATIONAL REFORM ASSOCIATION . On Monday night the first of a series of monthly soirees , nnder the auspices of the National Reform Association was held at the London Tavern , Bishopsgate-itreet , wh ? n a lecture on Parliamentary and 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 an adjourning apartment , and at . seven o ' clock the more important business of the evening was commenced by a glee party singing the " People ' s Anthem . "
Sir J . VVALMstEv 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 bis bon . friend ( Mr . Hume ) , on learning that such meetings were . proposed , at once approved of the arrangement , and declared that be would himself deliver , the first lecture . ( Cheers . ) It had been said that the people were apathetic and indifferent to the question of their political rights ; hot , if this was the case , their leaders alone were to blame . ( Hear , 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 wbo would not support freehold land societies ; but it should be borne in mind that it was the man ' s natural right
they asked , and not a right merely based upon land . ( Cheers . ) They must remember that in this country it was by agitation that almost every great object had been gained ; and as they were told by the Prime Minister himself that the people did not require reform , seeing they had not asked eagerly for ii , his advice to them was to knock loudly at ' the door of the constitution till every man entitled to the franchise obtained his ri g ht . ( Cheers . ) It was not by freehold plans alone that they were to seek the extension of the franchise . He did not undervalue such plans ; ! hey were good as political engines ; hut their first duty was to go boldly to their purpose , and demand that men , whetlier . ihey possessed land or not , should be admitted to their rig hts . ( Cheers . )
Mr . Home , on taking ( he chair , said , he did not appear there to deliver what was called a lecture , for he was no lecturer , and never wrote a speech in his life . It was his belief that 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 bon . friend Sir J . Walmsley in thinking that the National Association should have a series of monthly meetings of the kind now held , for the purpose of giving accurate information to the public , and showing them that the only mode of avoiding such occurrences as had taken place on the continent was by adopring the principles which the National , society maintained . ( Hear . ) He was for taking a straight
forward course ; he was for stating boldly and distinctly what he wanted , and calling upon those who bad a monopoly of political power to give up their monopoly and extend to all the people their just rights . ( Cheers . ) His principle was that every man who contributed to the support of the government was entitled to a voice , in the election of a representative ; and he believed that all the reforms which he contended for could be obtained under our present constitution of Queen , Lords , and Cora icons—a system of government with which he was perfectly satisfied . The hon . gentleman then quoted passages from Blachtone and other authorities in favour of the doctrine that taxation and represent tation ought to 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 comidaining . If the people bad possessed their full rights it would have been impossible , for instance , to carry out such a job ss that perpetrated last se > s !<) ii , when £ 12 , 000 a year was given to the Duke of Cambridge , a young man who had done nothing whatever to merit such bounty . He had had the curosity to consult an actuary as to the value of this annual ilowance paid to the Duke of Cambridge , and was informed that , if brought into the market , it would realize dE 223 , 000- ( hear , hear )—so that a 1 Wlen to that extent had actually been laid upon the people Of this country . ( Hear , hear . ) Instead of

every person who contributed to the burdeks of the State having a vote , not more than one » six possessed that ri g ht . One . reason giving for withholding the . franchise was , that the people dM not come forward to demand it . Now , it was no doubt true that the people , were at present well employed , " » nd receiving good wages , and did not . take up this question with the energy which they ought to exhibit . This , however , was the very time to do justice , and , if it was not now done , the period would arrive when 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 unequally , 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 Hou-e of Commons . At present , as much imitation was spent . in opposing a particular tax , such as the window-lax , as would , if properly directed , enable them to get rid of the anomalous state of the House of Commons altogether , and give the people the full direction of their own affairs . ( Hear , hear . ) The hon . gentleman then went into a variety of financial statements to show
the excessive burdens under which the country labours , and , after advocating vote by ballot , short Parliaments , & c , strongl y urged the necessity of an enlarged system of education for the entire peopie . With regard to the Freehold Land Association , he hailed the movement as one that was likely to secure for the reform cause as many votes as would enable them to wrest their rights from the aristocracy ; but then it would be a period of perhaps twenty years before this could be effected ,
while he maintained that they ought not to endure the present system for one day . ( Hear , hear . ) [ Here a bunch of fine white flowers was sent upon the platform by 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 dowers representing a point in the Charter . Mr . Hume , in accepting the g ift , 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 . Ddkb , 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 he has conferred on the people at large , by his 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 . Houghton , a tenant-farmer , who it was in timated had just subscribed £ 10 to the association , moved the next resolution , and contended that it was impossible for the farmers to grow cheap corn under the' heavy taxation which now pressed them down . The resolution was as follows : — " That this assembly desires to express its implicit conndence in the president and council of the National and Financial Reform Association , whose labours they cannot too fully appreciate , and whose principles and objects they determine to support . " Mr . Siack seconded the resolution , which was also unanimously carried .
Mr . La Blonde said , they bad held 200 meetings last year , and the . expenses bad been met by the funds of the association . But he begged to state tbat the amount of the subscriptions was conteratibly 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 and 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 , and the party separated a little before ten o ' clock .
Middlesex Sessions. The February General...
MIDDLESEX SESSIONS . The February general sessions was commenced on Tuesday morning at Hicke ' s Hall , Clerkenwellgreen . Pocket Picking . —Michael Campbell , 38 , and William Campbell , his son , 11 , were indicted , charged with having stolen fifteen shillings and other monies , from the person of Margaret Chapman , the property of her husband , Thomas Chapman . —The wife of the prosecutor stated that on Saturday night week she was standing at the corner of Wade-street , Poplar , where the robbery was committed ; and that a short time previously her husband had given her seventeen shillings , which she had deposited in her pocket . She subsequently made a purchase , for which she changed one of the
shillings , and received in change a sixpence and fivepenee in copper . She was soon after standing at the corner of Wade-street , when the little prisoner ( his head scarcely reached as high as the top of tho dock ) came up and planted himself by her side . Almost immediately afterwards she felt her gown rustle , and on looking down saw the hoy lift up her gown and put his hand into her pocket . ' He pulled out the contents and ran off . The pull the boy gave her gown somewhat drew her round . She instantly put her hand into her pocket , and finding that her money was gone kept her eye upon the movements of the boy with the hope that a policeman would come up . Tho boy , after the robbery , went up at once to the elder prisoner , who was standing a little way off shooting at a target lor
nuts . Upon the boy gomi ? up to his father they both walked off quickly round the stall . She then gave noticeof her loss at thopolice-station .- —Crossexamined by the elder prisoner : She had not , upon missing her money , put her hand upon the heads of several boys for the purpose of identif yingthe thief , nor had she stated tViat the boy who had taken the money was taller than his son . —Other evidence having been given , the jury found both the prisoners Guilty , but recommended the hoy to mercy upon tbe . ground of his youth , and under the conviction that ho had been acting under the instructions and training of his father . The learned Judge sentenced tho father to be transported for ten years ; , and the child to be imprisoned , with hard labour , for six months .
A Cab Stopped and Robbed . —Francis Morgan , a young man who appeared by his dress to boa van driver , was indicted for stealing a boa , value 5 s ., the property of Charles Fisher , from the person of Eliza Fisher . —At about half-past one o ' clock on the morning of the 23 rd of last month , the wife of the prosecutor , who carries on the ~ business of an artificial flower manufacturer , was returning home in a cab , accompanied , by a female friend , with whom she had been paying a visit in the Londonroad . She lived in liritannia-terraco , City-road , and on the cabman turning down a wrong street in the City-road , she pullwljho check-string , and told him he was going in the wrong direction , and informed him which was the ri ght one , upon whi ch
he turned his horse s heid , and proceeded to drive as ihe had directed . Immediately afterwards a hat was thrown through one of the windows of the vehicle , and the next moment the prisoner opened the door on the opposite side , leaped into the cab , and seizing Mrs . Fisher ' s boa , he dragged it with great force from ber neck , and then endeavoured f o escape . Mrs . Fisher screamed lustily , whilst her friend called " Police , " and on an officer coming up , the prisoner , who pretended to know nothing of the matter , was given into custody , and was con veyed by the officer in the cab to the station-house . The prisoner did not succeed in effectually securing the boa . —The jury found him Guilty , and the Court sentenced him to six months' hard labour .
RoBBERr—Adui-teky—Penorunv . ^ -John Jacques , described' as of 17 years of age , but looking much younger , was indicted for stealing a handkerchief from the " penon of James Syhcrry Sharp . —The case was clearly proved by the evidence of the prosecutor and that of another witness . —The prisoner said that he could prove that he-was at home at the time the robbery was committed , and called into the witness-box a girl , who certainly was not more than sixteen , and with an infant in her arms . — The Court : What are you !—Witness : I ' m his girl ( pointing to the prisoner ) . —The Court :
Do you mean that you live with him ?—Witness : Ye- « , I do—I cohabit with him . —The Court : And is that his child ?—Witness : Yes , it is . She then proceeded to depose that the prisoner was at home with her at the time the robbery was committed . —The Jury found the prisoner Guilty . —The learned Judge said it was shocking iii the extreme to see such deliberate perjury committed by the girl the j-risoner had calleu , who , young as she was , appeared to be associated under most disgraceful circumstances with the prisoner , who himself was quite a boy . IL > was sentenced to nine months' hard labour .
CoMHiTAt op a Witsess . —On Tuesday , a boy named Martin was convicted of stealing two shawl ' s the property of Thomas Pybus Smith . —The prisoner belonged to a gang of young thieves infesting the bye-streets in the neighbourhood of Tottenham ' - court-road , and it was proved that he stole the shawls in question from a linendraper ' s shop door at the corner of Store-street , Tottenham-courtroad . He bad been in prison before several times , and he now stated that he had a father living , who was a carpenter . A man named Dyer came forward and upon oath gave the boy a good character . He said the boy had no father living . Tho prisoner ' s mother said he bad a step-father . Dyer , after much iesitatiw and fencing with the question , admitted

that bo was sware that the boy had been in prison for thefts , and that he ( Dyer ) was living in cohabitation with the boy ' s mother , though at first he led the court to suppose that he . -came forward as ah independent witness . The Court ordered him into custody , and he was removed to the House of Correction , ColulMtb-fieWs . On "Wednesday he was placed at the bar , and the learned Judge after severely admonishing him , directed hini , to be discharged . The prisoner was sentenced to six months ' hard labour .
Temperance Demonstration.—Avery Numerous...
Temperance Demonstration . —Avery numerously attended meeting of the friends of the Temperance cause took place on Monday evening at Exeter Hall , at which Mr . J . S . Buckingham presided . The chairman , in opening the proceedings of the meeting , drew an amusing comparison between the teniptrance movement and the religious and political agitations which have lately occupied public attention , urging upon the audience the greater importance of the former , and inviting their co-operation in checking the " alcohal aggression , " by a resolute adherence to , and advocacy of temperance principles . He congratulated the friends of temperance upon the past progress and especially upon the present
encouraging prospects of their cause . It was intended that a grand convention of the members of temperance societies should be held in the metropolis in the course of the year ; and he was sure that their numbers , their character , and their station also , would be such as would surprise many who were not aware of the great progress that had been made of late years in the temperance cause . ( Loud cheers . ) Addresses upon various topics connected with the temperance movement were afterwards delivered by the Rev . Messrs . Spencer , Forster , Newman Hale , and G . M . M'Crec ; and the meeting , which was composed principally of memhers of the working classes , broke up at a late hour .

CURES FOR THE UNOU 11 ED ! HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT . An Extraordinary Cure of Scrofula , or King ' s Evil . Extract of a letter from Mr . J . II . Alliday , 209 Iligh-atrect , Cheltenham , dated January 22 nd , 1 S 50 .
