^Pjs Inten Support, When Looked At From ...
^ pjs inten support , when looked at from the same point of ; xiew as that' taken by the" Noble lord , nor coincide in many of the arguments adduced by him in its support , it is impossible to deny the creative power of genius , which imparted even at the last moment interest , variety and novelty to so hacknled , warn outand threadbare a subject . If lord Siaxlet ' s speech does not raise Mm to the tank of a statesman , it places him in the front rank of debaters . He was followed by Lord B eocgham , who in spite ef a strong desire for adjournment was full of speech , and would out with it His Lordship was on this occasion less eccentric in manner , matter , and even dress , than we have seen him durin * the whole Session . He abandoned the broad striped waistcoats and
checked trousers in which he usually rejoices , for a Suit Of decent black . life fidgetty restless manner subsided into a serious composure , and he avoided with some degree of success those flights of an erratic fancy which so often disfigure bis orations , and impair their effect . His description of the state of Europe in 1810 , when Napoleon controlled its every pulsation , and when in despite of his strong desire to shut thb country "nt of the pale of nations , by means of the celebrated Berlin and Milan decrees , corn and flour poured in by hundreds of thousands of quarters , even from France itself , to meet the deficiency in our harvest , was an able answer to the objection against our being dependent on foreign grain , and a capital specimen of Henry Brougham in his best days .
On the second night the predominance of speakers was on 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 £ hg , first was not only the best of the two , but SB able defence of the principle of free 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 , it is enly necessary to say that they travelled over ihe same dreary path which" has been travelled by the herd of orators in the protracted discussions in the other house .
Hut the evening was not without a new feature , and one of no slight importance . "The Marquis of Jformanby supported the measure , in a speech containing the very reasons we have so frequently and for so many years placed before oar readers . The direct bearing of this measure on the condition of the working classes is lost sight of by the disputants on the side of both Leapuers and Protectionists . The Marquis brought back the Peers to that most momentous and important of social questions . He declared , as we have often done , that its benefits and its disadvantages have been equally exaggerated by the partisans of the two great factions . The
influence of machinery on the labour-market , the questions of drainage , ventilation of houses , house rent , supply of water , short time , education , and other cognate subjects , all bearingdirectlyon the welfare efthe labouring classes , were successively glanced at by his lordship , with all the weight and authority be longing to the declaration of a man , who was for two years the Home Secretary of this country , and who avows that during that time he was forced into an Investization of { he actual
condition of the operatives , which resulted in a conviction that the let alone system will not do longer , that wemustpegislate directly in favour of the laborious masses . We commend this part of Lord Isobmesbt ' s speech to the careful perusal of our readers , and in preference to anything we could say on the subject mooted by his Lordship , extract the following remarks from thai newspaper anomaly , ihe Times . " With its usual fwesight , it scents the coming question of the age , aud thus discourseth ifcereuTJOn ;—
"We have reversed the order ot legislation . We have made laws to help the strong ; we have left the weak to help themselves . Our economical lore has taught us to extend the maxim of *¦ Lzisse ^ faire" in aid of enterprising ¦ wealth hat to the injury awl loss of hel p less but 5 n 3 nstrious poverty . The lords of the factory and the stearaendnefight it out bravely with the lords oftbesoil for the multiplication of their acquisitions and the greatness of their order ; but the friends of thejahonriu" man can bnt point to thelost battle-fields which left the enactment of a Poor Law and the rejection of a Factory Bill as the spoils of philosophical neutrality and scientific indifference . * * * *
" Cheap bread" was the cry for the mob—a cry now discountenanced by the wisest of those who erst gave it vent—a cry destined perhaps to be fatnl to those who even involuntarily have profitted by it 1 But they to whom it -was addressed—whom it was meant to excite , and whom it did excite—look forward with sullen silence and stubborn indifference to the result of a a collision ieldeh nvuiy efthe ^ i tetieee must lefruitless to themselves , unless it bring in its train . after-Struggles and future capitulations . At present they are mute , because they are almost without hope . The State has had but one coarse—the legislation but one profession—political science but one doctrine , —to neglect tho ^ e who nre helpless 1 They look on and mutter te Lord and
Leaguer" A plague oa both your houses . But It cannot always be as it hitherto has been . Men ' s minds are fully awake to the gravity and urgency of a subject which if left , without notice , must brand us with eternal shame , or hurl us to irreparable rain . "Wo are beginning to wonder at our own state . Foreigners and sojourners anions us have wondered at it ions . They hear t « II of our riches , and they visit us in the citadels of our wealth . Oar power and our greatness are sounded in tbeir 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 the high and lowering edifices devoted 10 the
prOSCCUtion of a labour which knows no rest and the service of a capital which ceases not from its enterprise . Around and about them are the multiplied forms of an ever active ingenuity , and an unsatisfied speculation . The monotonous muttering of many engines—the throng o f hundreds of human beings—the appliances of a growing traffic in the streets and neighbourhoods—all these tell , them the exigencies and the rewards of our commercial wealth They turn from the factory to the outskirts of ihe town—to the neat villa and the modern mansion begirt with all the rural beauty that English opulence loves to introdnca even among the busiest scenes of toil and care . The house of the manufacturer arrogates comparison wi-h the hall of the peer ; the grounds of the one are absorbing the park of the other ; the influence of the one
IS growing under and subverting the power of the other . They return «« the town they have left . They wander ] amid its crowded alleys and its intricate innes . And What meets them there ? Houses fetid with a dense population and an insufficient drainage ; men made old before their time l > y too much , -work , and children who Jieverlaiewthe naturalWoom ofhealthj women whose native comeliness has been sacrificed to the combined exigencies of home and the factory . Everywhere they see symptoms of overwork—overwork of mind and of body . 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 has Struck observant foreigners as characteristic of our manufact Bringpopulation .
Sufficient for us is it to know , that whilst the wealth , and the enjoyments of the rich have increased , those of ¦ the poor have not increased in the same proportion ; -that the ingenuity of invention , which has multiplied forms of Joxnry f or some classes , has not wrought equally for the lowest class ; and that in an age of the highest cirflisatijn may be foan-1 the most deplorable indigence , the most horrible squalor , and the most fearful destitution . And to this state of things must our lawg ivers look . Too long it has been our theory and our practice to say , " Let tilings take their course . " Things
iciH 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 me are not disposed to undervalue it , may be attained by the expansion of commerce in a commercial nation , still we have evidence oi -the most positive kind to show that without actual interference on the part of government , questions like the present may affect the lowest classes of the community no more , and be regarded by them with no greater interest , than the quarrels of the Keei and BiAxcni , or the fends ef the Ohelpjis and Ghieelliss .
The debate will be renewed to-night ( Thursday ) , with the expectation that a division will take place at its close , without further adjournment . Of course , aQ hinds of rumours are afloat , bat the general opinion inclines to the belief thai ministers will have a small majority for the second reading . The Protectionist peers may , however , defeat the measure at this stage , if thej are prepared to face the difficulties of Government , and the turmoil of a general election . Speculation , however , upon what a fewhours will probably make certain , is useless . One thing is certain , we are near the close of this protracted struggle . No othsr business worth notice has occurred in Parliamentdurimr the week .

that the issue of the portrait be postponed until Saturday the 13 th of June , to avoid an inconvenience to which the agents state they will be subjected , shoul d itt > e issued during the holidays , I took the earliest opportunity of consulting Mr . O'Connor on the propriety of the week ' s delay , when that ffenfleman stated his willingness to comply with the request of the agents ; consequently , on Saturday , June 13 th , the subscribers may depend on receiving the plate , as the agents will receive their supply In the early part of the week : Those agents who receive weekly parcels from the London publishers , and who have not furnished us with the required address , SO as to insure theinelosure , must lose no time in supplying us with proper instructions . —I think it not out of place here to inform our Keighley agent that he will obtain bis plates on application to Mr .

There were many circumstances connected with the subject upon which he writes of which we were awjre for a long time , but forbore publishing them for fuar of doing injury to the cause . We assure him that the complaints are nothing new . Leeds . —Mr . O'Connor sincerely regrets that it will not be in his power to make one of those anxious to do honour to Mr . Buncombe at the forthcoming festival :
and he feels assured t :. at his Leeds friends will excuse him when they are aware that he is performing the onerous and unremitting duties of bailiff over an immense number of men whose wages will henceforth amount to perhaps from £ 300 to £ 400 a week ;—the directors having devolved that duty upon him ; a duty which in the outset he promised to perform , and upon the faithful and economical discharging of which depends the fate of thousands and hundreds of thousands . Mr . O'Connor was most anxious to have bec-n at Manchester and Bradford also , during the holidays , but he does hope and trust that his friends evtry where will excuse him , until the first occupants are comfortably housed , and till the second estate is purchased . We beg attention to the following important letter from Hevwood : — Heywood , May 27 th , IS 16 .
Mr .

A Barssley Free Trader. Mr. Pigot, Manuf...
A BARSSLEY FREE TRADER . Mr . Pigot , manufacturer of linen by steam , is attempting to take advantage of the depressed state of trade by proposing to take sixpence a cut from the tiek-weavers . This advocate of free trade intends giving his workpeople the benefit of Peel ' s tariff by anticipation . The weavers have resolved as soon as a revival takes - place in the trade to make him lay sixpence on which will be ashilling difference . Although it is all piece-work , if the hands are a quarter of an hour after the bell in the morning , he deducts four-pence from their wages , that is Is . 4 d . per hour , whereas they don't earn above t » vo-pence per hour at work . NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF UNITED
TRADES FOR THE PROTECTION OF INDUSTRY . The Central Committee met at their office , SO , llyde-street , Blooniabury , on Mondav , May 25 th . Mr . T . S . Buncombe , M . P ., in tho Chair . —A huge mass of correspondence was read , mainly relating to the ensuing Conference , aud announcing ihe 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 tlic adhesion of the nailmakers of St . Ninian ' s , Stirlingshire ; from Mr . Blackmore , enclosing the adhesion of the sawyers of Nottingham , together witlTtheir firtt three monks' subscription ; from Mr . Gouiding , stating that the number oi members of the as-oeiation in Manchester alone
exceeds 5 , 000 ; from Mr . J . Harrison , IV'igan , announcing theadhesionof the carpenters 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 . Buncombe , M . P ., will arrive in Manchester on Monday morning , to take his scat at the hour appointed for the commencement of business . THE STRIKE IN THE BDTLDIiNG TRADES . ( From the 2 Hinclicsier Guardian . )
The prospect of the termination of this strike , which we hinted 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 . Manchester . —In our last we stated , thatan important proposal from a considerable bodv of men in one branch ot the building trades was to " be taken into consideration by the masters in that branch , on
Tuesday evening last . Wc may now state that the particular trade alluded to is tiie carpenters and joiners . A considerable number of the workmen in tins trade submif . ed to the general masters' association , on loesday , a declaration signed by their entire number , m which they expressed their readiness to wjthdraw from the general combined union of the building trades , and to form a i-ociety of their own . I lie general masters * association referred the consideration of this declaration to the master joiners , whs met on iuescaj evening , at the Clarence Hotel ;
A Barssley Free Trader. Mr. Pigot, Manuf...
and after the men b declaration had been read and discussed , they cameto the resolution that it was not sufficiently explicit as to the nature ' of the new society which the men proposed , to establish . It was at least doubtful whether it was proposed to form a general society for carpenters and joiners only , extending over a considerable district , or part of the kingdom ; or whether , the . men contemplated merely the formation of a local society . The matter was Biibmitted by the master joiners to a general meeting of the masters association , held on Wednesday last , d that
an body appointed a sub-committee to take charge of the matter , and to represent their feeling on she subject to the workmen signing that declaration . Some negotiation ensued , and the men subsequently made their 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 , Ducie-place . The declaration , as amended , was then read over , and after a short conversation , the meeting of the masters association unanimously adopted the following resolution : — '
" That the dcclarrtion signed by a number of the operative carpenters and joiners is deemed satisfactory ; and that the masters be allowed to ernploy those men who have attached , or mayattach , their names to such declaration , which shall be publinhed in the Manchester newspapers . " Leicesteb CABPBNiEpa : —At the weekly meeting ot the Carpenters aud Joiners of Leicester , held at the Pelican , Gallowtree Gate , the sum of £ 3 18 s . wa-scollectedforthe support of the Men on strike , connected with the Building Trades at Manchester .
Notice. It Is Earnestly Requested That P...
NOTICE . It is earnestly requested that parties , although the best Chartists , who are unaccustomed to agricultural work , will abstain from coming from London and elsewhere in search of employment . Every man of common feeling and common sense should understand that poor men and tbeir successors will be paying rent for , ever according to the amount of 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 fatisued . that . 'I did employ
him and he is not worth sixpence a day . 1 gave the first poor fellows 2 s . Cd . but I will not pay a farthing to others that come , and I request that no person will induce men to come down in the hope of getting employment as it is painful to my feelings to refuse them and it doesn't suit my pocket to relieve them . The two men who came on Monday last and returned arb not to come 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 bard and honest with the people's . Fkakgus O'Connor .

--. - .- PARTE , . ' On Monday Iast ; the Prince succeeded in effecting Ins 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 j to regain Ms freedom without any molestation from the battalion of infentrjr that formed the garrison of the castle aiid to arrive safely in London , where , we believe . ' he is this moment . We say this affords us gratification , not because we are at all tinged with Buonapartist sympathies , not that we at all fa . vour the designs of this very foolish prince who cannot ( or at least could not ) see that France wanted no NapousonH ., but the Republic , no Impenalism but Democracy , no Throned individual but the Sovereientv of thePennle : ' hut we am am .
tified , because we think the prince has been harshly treated by those who much more deserve th e ^ dungeon than he did . Lours Buonaparte is at tne worst a ^ foolish man , but his persecutora are traitors to Franco and to mankind , and therefore we are heartil y glad that he'fcas escaped from their clutches . It is well known that for some time past lnnce Louis has earnestly des ued once more to see his aged father ,- whose precarious state of health ¦ eaves little hope that his life will be much further prolonged . For this purpose he memorialised the French Government for his temporary liberation on parole ; offering his word of honour as security for his return to the chateau of Ham so soon as liis filial attentions should cease to be required . The prayer of this memorial was refused ; and no other course , therefore , remained to the Prince than the one he
has accomplished with such singular good fortune . In another column will be found an account of the serious viots 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 ai'd indebted to a correspondent : —
THE IN ' S AND THE OUT '? , The daily papers of Paris have been recently engaged in a squabble about the old adage of if . Thiers : * " The King reigns , but does not govern" tThis commenced in the ministerial Journal des Debats with a furious attack upon Thiers , who , of course . failednottoreply , Itisamere electioneering speculation for the purpose of securing majorities in the next general election , the chambers being about to be dissolved as soon as the budget is voted . The' ministerial papers , the parties in office , ' pronounce their approval of the interference of ihe king in government affairs ; the party out of office , M . Tliie s and his paper , the Conslitutionnel , proclaims snch interference to be most dangerous and intolerable in a country like France . The most interesting points in the viliole
discussion are the disclosures made of the way in which Louis Philippe interfertsin the business of thecouhtry . M . Thiers relates in the p lainest jossibie 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 , thatif his private wishes , as to foreign affairs do not prevail in the council , he sends secret orders to the Ambassadors at foreign courts , that he carries on secret correspondence with all influential employe ' s . It lis the more ridiculous to complain at this very moment about personal interference on the part of tlie 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 . ButM . Thiers and his complaints represent the "petite
bourgeoisi , " the inferior ranks of the middle classt'S , who being oppressed by the enormous weight of the " gros-bourgems" commence to pronounce louder and louder their dissatisfaction with the present state of things . How . all-powerful this largo 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 which the ' number of voters in all France was reduced from 200 , 000 to 120 , 000 . Both the ministerial papers and M . Thiers ' s paper reproach each other , that their respsctive policy would lead to a revolution and the establishraeiitof a republic . The National who , of emrse , 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 their p ' olicj is counter-revolutionary , we have only to bow anfl to retire with a * Thank you , gentlemen' J "
Important questions agitate tlie 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 tlie Church against the assaults of the nationalists . Silesia is in a disordered state , the unh ; ipp \ people showing every inclination to imitate the Polish peasantry in engaging in an agrarian revolt . Last , not least , financial diflidilties add to the embarrasstncnts of theiGovernment , 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 OF THE PRUSSIAN CONSTITBTION . There exists a || law in Prussia , dated 22 ud of June , 1820 , forbidding the liing to contract any State Debts without the sanction of the States General , an assembly -which it is very well known , does not yet exist in . Fl'USSia . This law is the only guarantee the . Prussians have for ever getting the constitution which , since 1813 , 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 1823 In borrowing thm ( millions of poundf in England—first violation . After the French revolution of 1830 , the . Prussian government being obliged to make extensive preparations for a war which was then Hkely to breakout , 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 concern , the Kinij of Prussia has , at this moment , committed a third great violation .: The credit of this concern being as it teems exhausted , the Bank of Prussia , being just in the same way , exclusively , a government concern has been empowered by the King to issue b .-. nk notes to the amount of ten millions of dollars ( £ 1 , 350 , 000 . ) This deducting 3 J millions as . . deposit and I millions for the increased cvpences of the establishment , amounts in reality to an " indirect loan" of six millions of dollars or nearly one million of pounds , which the government will be responsible for , as up to this time no private capitalists are partners to Vhe Bank of Prussia . It is to bo hoped that ihe Prussians , particularly the middle classes , who are most interested in the constitution , wili not let this pass without an energetic protest .
The Austrian government has forbidden the entrance of tlie Paris Charivari' into its dominions . Caustic comments on the Galician " price of blood " is said to be the unpardonable sin which has elicited exclusion . From [ POLAND wc 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 Pantaloon Potoeki , near Siecllee , and ' gave him up to the authorities , and who for that service , had received the Order of Merit from Prince Paskiewitsch , had been
recently lound hnnuing by the neck in a neighbouring forest with the medals on their breasts . According to the Vienna correspondent of the Universal German Gazette of the 23 rd , a conspiracy had just been discovered at Kzezow , and several persons arrested . One of the four prisoners who escaped about three weeks ago from the fortress of Neisse was recaptured at Berlin la-it week . lie is an officer named Lissowrki , who took a leading part in the Polish insurrection . The rascally Prussian government continues to pet 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 assas-ination of Don Lenncio Rubin do Cells , who headed tho insurrection in Gallifcia , and fled afterwards into Portugal . The unfortunate officer was murdered by two Portuguese , who had 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 to commence an insurrection ary movement , and then abandoned him .
Riots At Elbceuf, Near Havre. Houen, Sun...
RIOTS AT ELBCEUF , NEAR HAVRE . Houen , Sunday . —Or . Friday night last , by tlie last train from Paris , information reached Rouen that a sovious riot had , takcn place among the working population at Blbmuf , who had shown themselves determinedly opposed to the introduction of machinery , and the master manufacturers sent a request for an armed force to assist the Garde National a » d Ooitdarmerio of thu place in re storing order . About fifty persons , comprised of men , women , and children , had assembled on the previous night , just before sunset , with the avowed determination to destroy a machine that had been introduced into one of the factories ,
Riots At Elbceuf, Near Havre. Houen, Sun...
by a M . Aroux , a wealthy manufacturer , in the town of Elbfleuf . ' On that occasion , I learn , they assembled in front of the principal entrance of M . Aroux ' s factory , and demanded in menacing terms that the obnoxious machine should be g iven up to them . As their demands were not complied with , they proceeded to extremities , and seiaing 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 municipal guard , made the best opposition they could to the rioters . . As the night was fast setting in , the mob withdrew to their respective homes .
By the time of which I am speaking ( nine o ' clock ) , no assistance had arrived from Ruuen , and M . Aroux , thinking to pacify the crowd without resorting to the extremity of using physical-force , came out te them from his factory , and , addressing some of his own workmen , exhorted them to return to their work peaceably . His attempts at reconciliation , however , were received by the most discordant yells and menaces of destruction ; and he was glad to escape from them with his life . Tlie Procurem ? du Jtoi , and the Mayor then addressed themselves fo some of the principal groups , and were more fortunate in their exhortations than M . Aroux , for they succeeded in prevailing on the crowd to withdraw , and the workmen to return to their factories .
Fears , however , were still entertained that the dissatisfaction of the people had not been removed , and that it would exhibit itself anew when the men should be leaving the factories at dinner hour . The precaution was therefore taken Of blockading the streets with all the armed men th & t 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 the rioters to the Plaee-du-Calvaire . _ The mob first insisted on the obnoxious machine being given up to them , and swore with loud oaths , that if their demand was not complied with , they would demolish the factory in which it was placed . . Without waiting for any reply , the garde national , and those who had banded with them for 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 coarse of construction , and converted the materials into weapons of destruction , which they used with'the most murderous intention upon such of the authorities and their armed force as had hot had the gOOd fortune to take refuge in the factory of M , Aroux . Even this did not avail them long as a place of retreat from the fury of the mob , for the doors were soon burst open , the furniture o £ . the lower part of the house was destroyed , and everything that could be laid hands upon was seized for making barricades , from behind which the few aimed men in tlie town were attacked by a part of the 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 iOO men , belonging to the 31 st regiment , in ganison at Rouen , arrived on the spot . The rioters at first thought to have the troops of the line on their side , and hailed them with cries of" Vive la ligne ; but the soldiers of the line were faithful to their duty ; and on their commander giving them the order to load their pieces in presence of the mob , the latter immediately tied , and never attempted the slightest resistance . Seventeen of tiie ringleaders were arrested , and sent under escort on board the steamboat to Itojen , —Morning Paper .

Military . Forces of the Pope . — The repeated political disturbances that took place last year in the Parjal Statcss , have caused a re-organization of the military department , and an important increase of the armed force . A beginning , was last year made , by the introduction of a new system of discipline , and the work has now been completed by Cardinal Lombruschini ' s " Organic Administrative Rugula tions for the Domestic Standing Army of the 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 the affairs of the entire land and sea forces of the 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 , 450 ;
fusiliers , 4 , 025 ; dragoons , ft > 4 and 555 horses ; chasseurs , 255 and 200 horses ; quarantine corps , 33 ; marines , 46 , correction corps , 120 ; and one corps of invalids . The police consists of one regiment of carabineers , 2 , 431 men and 413 horses , and one corps ' of bcrsagliori , or sharpshooters , 932 men and . 1 , 383 horses . " To these are to be added two regiments of Swiss in garrison at Bologna and Forli , to be increased by six or eight troops—the Italian Corps de Reserve in the provinces , the Swiss body-guard of die Pope , 110 men , and his guardia nobile , whose number fluctuates according to necessity . The present fortified places of the popedom are—first class , Rome , Mont Angelo , and Cologna ; second class , A ' ncona , Civita Vecchia , Civita Castellana , and Ferrare ; third class , Forli . Duligno , Macerata , Pcsaro , Perugia , Ravenna , San Leo , Spoleto , and Terracina .
ArfAins at BonsEO . —We have intelligence of painful interest from Borneo , arising out of those desperate acts of piracy so prevalent on that island . Mr . Brookes , of Sarawak , had communicated to the Governor-General of India that Pangernn Badreddeen had been attacked , by order of tlie . Sultan of Borneo Proper , at some place near Labuan Island . The Rajah defended himself bravely , but being seriously wounded , he retired into his house , and called his wife and sister , and then ordi-red his servants to bring him a barrel of gunpowder . He took his ring from his finger , and gave it to tlie servant desiring him to take it to Mr . Brookes , aud immediately fired the powder , thus destroying himself and family , about thirty in number , who were all blown through the roofs of the houses . But besides his own family , there were many others destroyed who were well disposed towards the English , and who have assisted in
putting down piracy , which the Sultan is determined to revive at all hazards . Be has ordered forts to be built at the entrance of all the small rivers ; and he HOW bills defiance to the English . The Raj .-h ' s ring was subsequently taken by . force from the servant , but the man made his escape and got on hoard her Majesty ' s ship Hazard . He warned the captain not to land on that part y > f the coast , as tho Sultan had given orders to capture all the English , more especially tiie captains . The Hazard then proceeded to Sarawak- ( to Mr . Brooks ) , and from thence to Singapore . The Sultan has ordered Mr . Brookes to be poisoned , or killed in any way that may present itself ! Air . Brookes has requested that a steamer may be sent to Sarawak , Colonel Lutterworth 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 the Sultan will then get a dressing . —Shipping Gazette .
Tiv : / ubv , eb is Imv . —A letter from Rome , in the Augsburg Gazette , states that the . Papal Government has received confidential communications from London and Paris , announcing that Ihe revolutionary propagandists in those capitals are actively exerting themselves to renew the attempts at insurrection in Italy .
Ilml War Between The United States Axd M...
ilMl WAR BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AXD MEXICO . Livkhpuol , Thursday Night . The arrival of ihe Royal Mail steamer , Cambria , Captain Judkins , this afternoon , furnishes us with the important int elligence that war had commenced on the Texian frontier with Mexico , that an engagement had taken place with General Arista , and that the Americans had been worsted ' . that a large body of the Mexican army had . crossed the Rio Grande ,
had surrounded General Taylor's encampment , cutring off his communication with Point Isabel , whence he drew his supplies , and that great fears were entertained for the safety of lho force under General Taylor , unless they were relieved by large and speedy supplies . For this purpose , General Taylor hud made a requisition on the Governors of Alabama , Mississipi , and Texas , lev aid ., aboiutty often dollars a man being offered , a . good many hands had offered themselves , and several steamers were about to sai : from New Orleans to the scat of war .
The arrival of tho news at Washington caused the greatest exeHeraent . ^ nd a urn providing for the existing state of war between the United States ? . nd the republic of Mexico was immediately passed , and received the sanction of the President . The bill appropriates the sum of ten millions Of dollars towards carrying on the war , and empowers the President to employ the militia , tho naval and military forces ot the United States , and to call for and accept the services of any number of volunteers , not exceeding fifty thousand men . Further accounts were hourly looked for with the most intense anxiety in all the cities from New Orleans to Boston , as it was fully expected that General Taylor's encampment would be attacked forthwith .
The President ' s message for communicating the existence of the war to the Senate is as usual pretiv long , and in it he enters upon what is intended as a justification of the course which has been pursued by the United States towards its southern neighbour . The crowded state of 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 THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA . —A PROCLAMATION .
"Whereas the Congress ol ' tho United States , by virtue of the constit ntiona ! authority vested iu them , have declared by their act , bearing : date this day , that by the act of the republic of Mexico a state of war exists between the two Governments .: now therefore J . James K . Polk , President of these United States of America , d hweby proclaim tho same to all whom it may concdiri . And I do specially enjoin all persons holding sffices , civil or military , under the authority of the United States , that they be vigilant and zialous in discharging the duties respec-

tively incident thereto . And I do , [ moreover , exhort all the good people of the United States , as they love tlieir country , as they feel the wrongs wh ich ha ve forced on them the last resort of injured nations , and as they consult the best means , under , tho blositing of Divine Providence , of abridging its calamities , that = they exert themselves in preserving order , in promoting concord , and maintaining the authority , and the efficiency of the laws , in supporting ami iliviuorating
