The journals of this morning dwell with an almost unanimous chorus of di the aspect of the Assembly. We can hardly resi feeling of profound sadness sighs the Jownal des bats. Plenty of empty speee! little political mind. “such Dé- | little sincerity, and | we are obliged to say, has been the result of this long and tumultuour sitting The Presse exclaims, Qieie conf isi quel desordve! quel verbiage! q A Hine et de dignicé! The tribune, it gres oa to say. is | fiterally taken by axeault. ‘Ten orators rush to it to- gether, and they speak atleast as many times. There is no possibility of doing business with such a regimé. All that they dois to make a noise. bad speeches. and propositions ridiculous in themselves and unworthy of the character of the assembly, And having afforded some specimens of nonsense, it adds. there are people in thir chamber who seem to think that. in order to | earn their 25 franes a day. they must absolutely be in a state of agitation —they must shout and seale the tribune, and utter some sort of phrases in the midst of the general impatience. Let no one, says the Siécle, venture to prophecy the probable | is as follow: results of the morrow from conclusions of the day. if | he would'not expose himself to sad blundering. And, to show the inability of the assembly, the Constitw- tionnel asserts. and asserts truly, that the vote by assis et levé. differed from that of the ballot; so that a cham- ber which had virtually decided that the national rs- sembly should nominate ministers. went to the urn and voted differently. The fact is, that the great length of time occupied in taking the vote (about two hours) opens an opportunity for canvassing and in- | triguing, and the question was one of that kind to en- e personal feelings, The gist of the matter lay i thie: if the assembly nominated ministers directly, they would have thrown out Ledru Rollin and his par- ty—that was certain. If,on the contrary. the cham- ber consented to delegate the executive power to a commission of five, then there could be no objection, but rather an advantage. in choosing Ledru Rollin to be one of them: and for this reason. that while his in- fluence would be neutralized by his four colleagues. he would be himself detached from the special administra- tion of the Interior. Thus his dignity would be saved. his amowy propre respected. and his power modified, He would be kept. too. out of harm's way, and have no excuse for throwing himself upon the clubs. Never- theless, so strongly did the feeling run against him that it took all Lamartine’s influence and eloquence to di- vide the minds of the chamber. Had he not spoken and covered his colleague with his own buckler, he would have fallen. The Débats contains some apt re- marks on the position of the two men : “Two members of the Provisional Government spoke—M. de Lamartine and M. Ledru Rollin. The latter to defend him: the former to defend M.

M.

The assembly protested loudly against this pretension on the part of M. Blanc to set himself up as the only representative of the people, and a scene of great confusion ensued. He then com- plained of the calumnies to which the com- ission of the Luxembourg had been exposed. Upon which M. Peupin, a real ouvrier. and a most sensible one. rose and exposed the folly of such a department as that proposed by M. Louis Blane, as all its attributes came within those of the Minister of Public Works. M. Peupin produced great laughter by declaring that if people abused the commission of the Luxembourg, they were very unjust, for ithad done nothing. The pro- position for the creation of a department of labor and progress was rejected unanimously. M. Wolowski then bronght forward the question of Poland and M. d’Aragon that of Italy. It was agreed that the debates upon both those questions should be taken on Monday next. ‘There is no later news from Italy. The Minister of Finance, on the proposition of M.

Tho Paris Moniteur gives the following comparison of the financial position of France on February 24 and May 6, a9 delivered by M. Garnier Pages in hix report on Monday in tho National Assembly :—The state of the finances, such as we received it from the fallen | government, and such as we resign it into your hands, ‘The former governinent had established two budgets. the ordinary and the extraordinary. From an exact estimate of the expenses. it results that the deficit in the ordinary Budget for 1648 was 73.644 - 507 fr. and the foreseen expenses of the extraordinary budget 169,461,969 francs. So that the real amount of the deficit to the charge of the last administration reached to no less than 243,106,566 francs, The expenses of the extraordinary budget were to have been met by the produce of the loan. As to the deficit of the ordi- nary budget, the late government was reduced, in order | to cover it, to resort to the reserves of the sinking fund. | which should have been applied to the expenses of the extraordinary one. What we did was this; to put an end to a combination which was nothing more or less than a real deception, we have drawn out a single budget, clear and short. which will be presented to you | Ihope, in such a way that you may easily comprehend its details and its ensemble. You will then see that, in | order to fulfil its duties towards the people and pro- | vide for pressing wants, the republican government | was compelled to add tothe old expenses new ones, amounting in round numbers to eighty one millions Up to the present time the provisional government has effected a saving in tho diff-rent services of about 62 millions. In the course of this year even the proceeds of these savings wili be increased by others which are in course of execution. We have also created fresh resources. and we shall ask you to effect others. the details of which will be laid before you. and which. without infringing on rights and situations really worthy of respect. will give to the financial power of the State that increase of which it stands in need. When these different measures shall have been definitively sanctioned by you, the ensemble of the expenses of that year will | amount, for the ordinary service, to 1,501.128.422fr.; the receipts to 1,546,301.190fr., leaving an excess of re- ceipts on the ordinary budget of 45172.768fr To this excess of the ordinary service we add the reserve of the sinking fand of 1848, to which we give its real destina- tion by applying it, for the first time, to extraordinary | public works. This reserve amounts to 83,980.000fr and the funds free on the loan of 1841 to 22.037 000fr. ‘There will be found in the budget of 1848 a disposable resource for extraordinary works of 152.089.768fr.; but, ns the expense of these works is limited for 1848 to 140.- 735,660fr., there will remain on the ensemble of the budget an excess of receipts of 11.324,208fr."” _, Austria. | r= icant: A fresh ebullition of popular indignation in this city has been occasioned by the (alleged) inter- ference of the archbishop in favor of the expelled religious society of the Ligurians, a sect affiliated | to the order of Jesuits.

FROM THE POLISH FRONTIER. ig There remains but little doubt as to the in- tended campaign of Russia; among other pre rations, the creation of a bridge of boats at the fortress Nova Gierorgierosk, across the Vistula, has an evident warlike appearance, since there is no mainroad leading from the fortress. The Constitutionnel states that accounts have been received in Paris that the first division of the Russian fleet quitted Sebastopol, on the 20th ult., steering towards Bessarabia. “It is certain,” adds the Constitutionnel, “that the fact denotes the tendency of Russia to take advantage of every reat European commotion to act in the East.” The Hamburg Correspondent says that the Grand Duke Constantine will sail with a fleet to the Sound, on the 5th May, for the protection of Rus- sian commerce. ._, Greece. . The commercial crisis in Athens had not sub- sided.

Chief Justice Blackburne, on Wed- nesday, in the Queen’s Bench, overruled Mr. Mitchell’s pleas of abatement, but his trial will probably not take place until after next term. The. case of Mr. O'Brien is fixed for Monday, that of Mr. Meagher tor Tuesday, supposing the proceed- ings, in the first instance, to be concluded in one day. The Confederates had a great meeting in Kil- kenny, the town of cats, and Messrs. Meagher and Duffy made very violent speeches, in utter tempo- rary forgetfulness of the ‘ gagging act.” It is said by parties who ought to be well informed, that, for the present, at least, the repealers have determin- ed that the council of 300 shall not be called toge- ther. Induced by the recent proclamation of Lord Clarendon, the determination has the concurrence of the confederate, as well as of the “moral force” repealers. ‘Tus Quren’s Visit To IneLanp —It was said, in vory well informed quarters in the metropolis, on Thursday, that on the approaching royal visit to Scotland, Ire- land will be taken by the wiy. Much confidence is felt in the loyalty of the mass of tho Irish people, Somo ecent circumstances, have proved that; and, as the Queen has no personal fear of danger, it is deemed not atall unlikely that the reaction, since the «battle of Limerick.” will, by this regal manifestation of good ill, become a permanent feeling of attachment. ‘The vinit is said to be positively fixed for July. Her Majes- ty will first visit Carton, the seat of the Duke of Lein- ster. The case of the Queen vs. John Mitcho'l has been decided against the defendant, on a technical point raised by bis counsel. Monday, the 15th of May inst., was fixed for the trial of William Smith O’Brien, and the Tuesday following for Mr. Meagher’s trial. The Limerick Reporter says of Mr. Mitchell's ples :— He hay been accused of precipitating matters by « too vigorous course, and he is now accused by the same parties with playing the long game in raising techui- cal objections to delay his trial. We think he is per- feetly right in embarrassing the government in every way he can with their own law. He may be much more useful at home and at large next autumn than bolted within the four walls of the Richmond peniten- tiary, or chained in a penal colony. In his case, to be at large then may require more courage than to face the terrors of a dungeon or transportation itself.”’ We believe we may now announce, with offl- cial certainty, that the great meeting of the Ulster Tenant-right Associations at Dungannon, to which we have repeatedly alluded, will take place on Thura- day, the 25th inst.—IrishPaper. The Rev. T, Bermingham, having been suspended by his bishop, in consequence of his letter on the duties of Irishmen, in o case of rising, has found reason to withdraw it. The Rev. J.

The Right Rev. Dr. Foran, Roman Catholic bishop of Waterford. has forwarded a petition to Queen Vie- teria, praying for self-government; this petition is signed by, we believe, all the clergymen of that diocese.

A meeting of the protestant repoalers of Dublin was held recently at Music Hall.

News from the Continent. _ [From the London Chronicle. May 13.] Advices from Vienna mention that a report had been in circulation to the effect that, notwith- standing the prohibition of exports of specie, con- siderable sums had been remitted to various places abroad on account of the house of Messrs. Roths- child. The rumor, however, had been contradicted by, the Minister of Finance, who explained the origin of the report. It appears that the firm had been commissioned to make all payments for the Austrian government to the treasury of the con- federation, and to the treasury of the field of oper- ations at Mayence, as well ‘as to the holders of Austrian bonds abroad. These payments were for- merly made by bills of exchange, but, owing to the recent political events having paralysed bank- ing operations, it was found necessary to remit the various sums in specie, and hence arose the im- pression that the house was unlawfully operating onits own account. The amount of sums thus ex- rted since the prohibition, up to the 4th instant, as been 648,000 florins. The State had permitted several private individuals, under special cireum- stances, to effect similar shipments. The central treasury of the State announced that beyond the above named sum it had remitted no specie to the house of Rothschild at Frankfort. A De amount of munitions of war had been forwarded to the fortress of Ulm. In consequence of the recent disturbances at Manheim, a are number of the inhabitants had come to the souri, and forming there a colony, to be called “New Manheim.” Their departure was fixed for the early part of August.

The stagnation of business, produced by European disturbances, was beginning to yield to a more fa- vorable state of things. Intelligence had been re- ceived from Jassy, in Moldavia, under date the 18th of April, of disturbances having occurred there, the consequence of the general effervescence agitating the whole of Europe. Meetings of va- rious kinds had been held, which at length became 80 serious as to induce the government to sanction them. It was also deemed prudent to direct the Minister of the Interior, as well as the Minister of Police, to attend these gatherings; and the result was a general concurrence of the respective bodies to present to the prince a series of resolutions (35 in number), containing the grievances chiefly complained of, accompanied by suggestions for their relief, amongst which the following propo- sals were submitted :— ‘ Personal security from arbitrary arrest. Imme- diate disarming of the Albanians. Abolition of foreign exports, as injurious to the agriculture and commerce of the country. Improvement of the harbor of Galatz. Strict fulfilment of the law upon which public, credit is founded, to insure commer- cial transactions. Establishment of a tribunal of commerce at Jassy. The French commercial code to be adopted in Moldavia. The establishment of a discount bank, to facilitate commercial transac- tions. The establishment of a national bank.

Advices from Athens, to the 2Ist ult., have hke- wise been received. They principally refer to the late administration of the national b government, the former having, by a multiplicity of errors in its administration, finally resorted to a suspension of payments.

Lombardy is, to all appearance, lost to Austria, and the attempt to retain it, in the face of present circumstances, 18 not exempt from the sharge ot wickedness and folly, If retained, it would constitute the weakness of the Austrian em- ire. For this reason, the British government has een much censured for its aig of Austria, and its palpable discouragement of Italian inde- pendence. “See,” says the Darly News, “what we have done—we have acknowledged the Aus- trian blockade of Venice, whilst we have forbidden the Neapolitans to send vessels to combat and to raise that blockade. At the same time we have dissuaded Naples and forbidden the Pope to t» march to the succor of Venice, haying vainly tried to intimidate the King of Sardinia into a si- milar abstention. The Pope, in seeking to obey us, has got nearly overthrown; as it is, he has ex- posed his government to the greatest shake and diseredit that it has yet suffered.” Our advice has also shaken the Neapolitan throne, as it would have buried the Sardinian, had Charles Albert listened to ug.

(From the Mark Lane Express, May 8.] ‘The favorable weather experienced since our last has done much to remove the fears which were beginning to be entertained in regard to the fature. It is the general belief that the change has come in time to avert mischief ; and the future is now looked forward to with confidence. For some days past farmers have been busily occupied in the fields. and great exertions are being made to bring up the arrears of work caused by the extreme wetness of the spring. The sowing of | barley and oats, and planting of beans and peas. will | now, it is hoped, be speedily eonoluded ; and though it is certainly late for this description of labor, still with warm. forcing weather during the summer, all may yet turn out well. During the time furmers are engaged cropping the the land we must calculate on short de- liveries ; but when that important work shall have been accomplished, some increase is likely to take place | in the deliveries from growers—particularly if, in the interim, it should be proved that the autumn-sown wheat has not suffered from the constant rains in | March and April. The accounts from the agricultural | districts, in respect to the appearance of the plant. are | of much the same nature as before: in many districts | the blades are of a yellow, unhealthy color ; but it is the prevailing opinion that a continuance ‘of similar weather to the present would soon bring it round, as | there is no dificiency of plant. Holders of wheat have | already begun to show more anxiety to realize. and as | the inclination to buy (at no period very strong) has still further diminished, the trade has become exceed- | ingly languid." Under these circumstances, a moderate fall in prices does not appear improbable ; but we still | think that the reduction in the value of tho article is not likely to be very great this side of harve At most of the leading provincial markets held in the early part of the week, holders were tolerably firm, and previous prices were nearly maintained; subse- quently. however, the desire to realise increased, and quotations were not supported up to the close of the week. Tho advices from Liverpool. of Tuesday. describe bu- sinessas having become dull; but till then, former | terms had been insisted on. Afterwards there was # slight giving way; and the sales made on Friday were at an abatenent of 2d per 70lbs. Flour. oatmeal, and Indian corn were also cheaper on the latter than on the former market day, and in less active demand. At the leading towns in Yorkshire wheat appears to have nearly supported its former position; this was decidedly the case at Hull, on Tuesday, when the best sorts, whether of home or foreign growth, brought full corms. A At Leeds sellers were more tractable; and buy were enabled to purchase 1s per quarter Jower on Tucs- day at that market than on that day week. rhe accounts from Wakefield, of Friday, give a very dull report of the trade. Wheat, we are informed, had been freely offered 28 per quarter lower, without excit- ing attention, and prices of other articles had reoeded in proportion. From Bristol, Birmingham and other places in that i pect of the country, we have also very flat accounts; ndeed, it may be said that at all those places at which | the markets were held subsequent to Wednesday (that is, after the weather had become settled and fine), Wheat has declined from 1s to 2s per quarter—this remark is applicable as well to the markets in the ag- ricultural districts as to the leading consuming towns. By our letters from Scotland, we learn that a simi- lar change to that experienced in the eouth, had taken place in the weather, which, together with the dull ac- | counts from hence. Liverpool, &e. had sufficed to give acheck to the upward movement in prices, and t | though holders had not shown a disposition to lower | their pretensions, business had become very dull both | at Edinburg and Glasgow, | In Ireland, the weather seems to have taken up earlier than on this side of the channel, and the re- ports from thence, in regard te the aspect of the fields, are generally of @ favorable character. The disturbed state of the country had not prevented pretty good | Supplies being brought to the market, and the inquiry having been exceedingly slow, former rates had barely been maintained. The arrivals of wheat coastwise into London have | been of the same limited character during the week as previously, the total quantity received up to this (Sa- turday) evening having amounted to only 3839 qra. Meanwhile, but very little has been brought forward at Mark Lane, by loud carriage samples from the neigh- boring counties; but the fine weather has had its usual influence, and the trade has been excessively languid. On Wednesday the show consisted principally of what was left over from previous receipts, ‘The millers were, however. very cautious, and small as was the quantity on sale, it proved more than adequate to the demand. The operations were altogether on a retail scale, and the turn was ratherin favor of the buyer. Subsequent- ly the anxiety to realize increased, and on Friday pur- chasers were enabled to buy rather below the rates current in the commencement of the week. We have | again to report a fair arrival of wheat from abroad— viz: 7690 quarters, mostly from the Lower Baltic ports. The supplies have for several weeks past exceeded the consumptive demand, and no one having shown the slightest disposition to tke more than was required for immediate use, the quantity on the market has accu- mulated, Since our last the inquiry has been particu- larly slow, very few country buyers having visited Lon- don, In this position of affairs no variation of con- requence has occurred in quotations; but as many im- porters are unquestionably anxious to effect sales from on board ship, we believe that purchases might have been made on easier terms, if purchasers had come for ward. The averages continue low, and there is a pro- bability of the duty rising to 8« per quarter on Thurs- y next, a circumstance which may be expected to e some influence in checking supplies from abroad lour has throughout the week been very dificult of | disposal, but the millers have not hitherto altered tho price, the top quotations for town-made having re- mained precisely as before. Ship samples have, in some cases, been offered rather lower, without leading to a more extended sale. : The arrivals of Barley from our own const have been quite-trifling, only 1,810 qrg. of English having come to hand ; the setting in of warm weather has. however, had the effect of lessening the demand for malting qua- lities, and some difficulty has been experienced in effecting sales ut the extreme rates of Monday last.— Distilling and grinding sorts have likewise moved off rather slowly, but neither kind has been offered at all lower, | The inquiry for Malt has not been s0 active this as | lact week. ‘There hag, however, been no disposition to prose business and the bargains clored have been at previous prices The market has boon indifferently supplied with Oats of home growth ; constwise only 1.770 qrs., from Scot- land 60 qrs., and from Ireland 4.991 qrs., having come tohand. The arrivals from abroad have also fallen off. and the receipt of 2,173 qrs, has had no depressing influence on the trade; the want of animation by which it has been caracterized must therefore be attri- buted to other causes than exeess of supply. ‘The large dealers are not, we believe. particularly well stocked, but they appear determined not to hold more than absolutely necessary, and have latterly acted with extreme caution, ‘The transactions on Wednes- | day were on quite a retail geale, and in the absence of business of importance ‘quotations underwent no change ; this was, however, hardly the ease on Friday ; for though the sales wore not much moro extensive than before. factors slightly raised their pretensions, and in small quantitios Monday's currency was slight- ly exceeded, English beans have come sparingly to hand. and with but little doing in the article, prices have remain- ed nominally unaltered.

The Latest Commercial Summary. [From the Liverpool Mail, May 13 ] The aspect of political affairs in France being more favorable, and the probability of a spoedy termination of the hostilities between Denmark and Prussia, have: combines! to give rather a spur to the confidence of our merchants, though the advices from the manufactur— ing districts are still dull. Our cotton market during the week has been acted. upon by the late import, and has censequently rather given way in the middling and common qualities of American. The decline in these descriptions is near- d., all other kinds remaining as before, leaving air" uplands as quoted last week, namely, at 424. and “fair Orleans at 47a. ‘The great bulk of the late arrivals from the United States will consist of” the qualities most under the influence of the present pressure, that is, the common and middling qualities, On the other hand, the fair to good, which are in de- mand for export. and are becoming comparatively scarce, maintain their ground stoutly, and perhaps we might say, are rather higher; however, they firml maintain previous quotations,’ ‘The sales of the weel are 24.120 bales, of which 1,860 American, and 50 Egyptian, have been taken for export. ‘The sales to- aay are 4000 bales. ‘The committeu's quotations to-day for fair cotton are—Bowed, 454d; Mobile, 434d., and Or- loans, 47d. The stock of American is about 250,000, being a decrease of 120,000 bales, compared with last year. ‘The imports this week are 82,468 bales; this year, 527,- 347; samo time last year, 472,256, The estimated stocks are 407.080; same tine last year, 518,490, There were taken this year by the trade, 450.000 bales, by specula- ors 15.700, by exporters 31,560; same period last year, y the trade 366,340, by speculators 160,200, by export: ers 27.550, Thore was a thin attendance of buyers at our corn exchange on Tuesday morning. and great indisposition towards business. Irish new wheut was 4d and foreign 2d to 3d per bushel cheaper than on that day se’nnight. Flour also declined 1s per sack and 6d per burrel. Oats, barley, and beans supported the previous Tuesday's prices. The demand f.r Indian corn was not #0 lively as of late, still several samples were cleared off for Ire- land at a decline of 6d per quarter on yellow and 1s per quarter on white corn. Indian meal was 6d per barrel cheaper. ‘The weather is very fine and warm. and the crops in this neighbourhood look exceedingly well. The fears which were entertained for the future have been almost wholly removed throughout the country. Tho wheat plant pr:.greases very favorably. but the ery will soon be for moisture for spring corn and pulse Businoss since Tuesday has been inactive. but at no marked change in prices. There was a fair attendance of buyers at our market this morning. Wheat and flour sold steadily at about Tuesday's prices. Oats and barley were held for a small advance. Beans were 6d per quarter dearer. The business of the day, however, was in Indian corn and corn meal for Ireland, at very full prices; but at no quotable improvement. The beat American white corn brought 268 to 27s, and the mar- ket was cloared of good samples of yellow at 288 to 20 per 480Ibs. Indian meal sold at Ids to 128 3d per 196 Ibs.
