TWO CENTS. “Our London Correspondence, Lonpon, September 2, 1848, | Lord Join Russell’s Visit to Ireland—Speculatrons | concerning it—The Chartists—The Ocean Mo- narch--The Free Kirk in Scotland—The Crops— European Politics; §c., &c. In a few days, Lord John Russell sets off to Lre- | Yand, but for what purpose is not known; many speculations are hazarded on the subject, and amongst the many, that of the Dublin Freeman deserves attention, from the confident manner in which it is expressed, according to this journal, it has for its object an amnesty to the political offen- ders, concerned in the late insurrection. The Queen is said to have suggested it, and expressed awish that her Minister should personally confer with Lord Clarendon, to ascertain if it could be accomplished with safety to her present and future ule. If such be the case, it speaks well for her Majesty’s disposition ; but the gracious act is lile- y to be accompanied with conditions of promise from its recipients, that many may give whilst others refuse them. When a condition is impos- ed forthe accomplishment of an object, it is some- what akin to trying to effect a compromise. The grace of royalty ought to know no conditions, 1f it means to win a sincere loyalty. It isto be hoped the news of the Fyeeman may prove true ; but, | from such a minister as Lord John, not much should be expected that is good. If it should prove correct, John Mitchel ought not to be an exception to the royal clemency, nor the chartist prisoners, whore families are beginning to feel the pangs of hunger, and the cold blasts of an ap proaching winter will increase their misery. The Mommg Herald, a church and king oracle, tells his lordship he knows no more of the kind of treat- | ment the present condition of Ireland requires, than he does of the ancient legisla'ion of the many house of keys. When the present Lord Stanley ‘was Secretary for Ireland, the late Daniel O’Con- nell drew a parallel between his apprenticeship to legislation and that of the Irish barber’s boys, who acquired the rudiments of their art on the chins of ‘beggars, the torture and the wounds compensating for the gratuity of the shave. The parallel seems defective on one point, my lord’s shaves being very * costly, independent of the awful tearing and scrap- ‘ang they give. Whulst the Minister is travelling to Ireland, her Majesty will be on her way to Scot- dand to spend a fortnight, that the Prince consort may amuse himself in shooting, and other field FS) on the property of that crafty old placeman. ant Mints: tas, father law obiny Loni dena, ‘who, by-the-by, sent in, last week, a little bill o tavern expenses, amounting to nine thousand six hundred dollars, for five months political rambling on the continent. i The Mark Lane Express informs its readers that the samples of new. wheat, shown at Monday’s market, were poor in quality and condition, and that this may be expected to be the case generally. Thisis a discouraging prospect for cade and the -poor; it prophesies little employ and a dear loaf— il-assorted conditions t¢@pfoduce content, or an -expression of thankfulness for the privilege of liv- ing under a “glorious constitutiou.” A few days of fine weather have lately done much good, and its continuance may have the éffect of keeping the markets down fora while ; butboth the deficiency and the damage of the crops are equally established jacts. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has, at last, made up his accounts for the year’s expenditure, which show that he has been ‘too fast” a man, having spent nearly ten millions of dollars more vthaa his income. Five millions of these dollars were expended in slaughtering the poor Catires, at the Cape of Good Hope, for cow stealing, an out- Jay, said Sir Charles, which would not be again required.

The misery does notjend here, | as Irieh starvation has yet to be fed, and less than twenty-four millions of dollars will not accom- Piish this. J John James Bezer, the chartist, who was recent- ly committed to prison, has been tried, found uilty, and sentenced to two years imprisonment. ‘he Attorney General, who was aware of his tact and ability, warned the jury to beware of his se- vductive powers of persuasion, The extracts he yead from the New York Herald, were unaccom- panied by the remarks of the T'imes, into which they were copied, and from which he read. This the judge pronounced illegal, as giving the bane without the antidote; his,ingenuity would not shield him ; his evident object having been to pro- duce hatred against the Queen and her govern- ment. The purport of the extracts were to show the grinding down of the people by the aristocracy. | Mr. Bezer’s view of the use they made of the peo- | ple was such as the crusher takes of his oleagmous | seeds, a treatment not far different ; a pushing un- der the revolving stones, and then to the press, for the best drawn pale oil, and for seconds a heat, | and to the press again, with a tight squeeze. At the trial of a chartist shoemaker, previous to re- | ceiving his sentence ot en the congratulated himself on the fact, that though the jury had found him guilty, it was not fora crime that would attach a disgrace ora stigma to his mame. On which, the Attorney General immedi- ately rose, and, inhis remarks, sought to establis acontrary oy disgraceful as, theit. the majorit Happily for the shoemaker, of opinions are in favor of the senti- ments he expressed. ‘There is no help for it—the mother’s soothing advice to her son, whilst expe- riencing the pleasures of a fit of colic, must be adopted to“ grin and bear itout.” There is said to be a good time coming, but desponding spirits be- in to think it is long in making its appearance. Patience, and a quiet, moral force reform, is the ‘only remedy that can or ought to be adopted, as Dlocdshed or confusion would lead to dreadful consequences. | * i A ‘Arrests for political offences still continue, in Jreland.

This foolish marplot has caused great misery to his admirers and fol- dowers; as Inspector ‘Trant has been obliged, in the discharge of his duty, not only to disturb he dinner table, but also the hal- Jowed sanctity of the connubial bed. Mr. Doheny still eludes the vigilance of the police. The neigh- borhood ot Thurles 1s quiet, but fresh alarms are the festivity of t reviving, as an Irish province paper declares that a | vessel is on its way from Mexico, containing a large number of Irish soldiers, recently disbanded from the American army, to give the rebels a helping hand, The same authority announces ‘Admiral Napier’s pleasure at the prospect of an early meeting with them; the more so, as hejhas received instructions from head-quarters to adopt @ Very summary treatment. cloud seems at the present moment to hang over the epinions of some of the London journals, as to the turn matters may take on the continent. ‘News from Vienna is long in arriving. The Joi mal des Debats regrets the altered tone of i lish coiiteiporaries. It fancies it sees in them less of cordiality towards its government, Mean- while Frejch troops are being marched towards the Rhine, to anticipate any ‘double,”as it now ap- pears that the presence of three English ships o| war in the Scheldt, in February last, was to seize the citadel of Antwerp, had any French sympathy shown itself in Belgium, Itis evident that a screw is somewhere loose, and that troubles are begin- ning to be anticipated. . ‘The English ministry will listen to no proposal for a reduction of the army and navy, to meet the fl declining resources of the country. Mi 1g in vain that Mr. Cobden save against the adoption of 0 warlike a policy. He is met in the Iouse by the jeers of the ministerial benches; and out of it by the coarse personalities of the Times, The inisters say efficiency must be maintained in these forces, and latter is a delusio M. Guizot, ‘ex- M _ag often practised as made. inister of France, has been for some time residing on the Norfolk coast, for se- | clusion, and the benefit of his health, refusing, he says, numerous inyitations to the “ feasts of the nobles.” The seligious ceremony of a church consecration, at the neighboring town of Yar- anouth, drew him from his retreat, to participate in the solemnities of the E lus of the Bishop’s tab! He formed one of a ce.ipony, composed of two Bishops and a large conclave of clergy, who, after having done justice to dinner, began to the same to the wi and, cleo, to their-own merits, by a proper recipro- city of complimentary speeches. The subject is ninion, and declared sedition quite as _ iled, through the revelations of Mr. | 8 Eng- | economy will be studied ; but the | uureh service and the | net woith the mention, were it not to record the intense admiration expressed by the tallen French- man Gf the “glorious British constitution ;” and an imploring injunction to his hearers, in these words :— Keep your faith, keep your laws, keep | the traditions of your ancestors.” From such an | audience, it was natually to be supposed, these sentyments would find a very ready acquiescence. ‘The majority have no objections to retain a special custody of an orthedox faith, but utterly repudiate the necessity of the same care, in the present sample of English laws and treditions, which few but M. Guizot and his friends will deny are the relies of an age of barbarism. The destruction, by fire, of the ship Ocean Mo- narch, and the awful loss of life which ensued, has produced a feeling of deep and melancholy in- terest. The heroic bravery of Frederick Jerome should not go unrewarded, let him owe his birth either to the English or American Portsmouth. As will be seen py ae newspaper details, he was in the ship New World, at anchor not tar distant; his previous deeds of daring, in saving life from the wreck of the Henry Clay, were known; his what success. He is a resident of New York, and let it be hoped his deeds will be rewarded in the city of his adoption. The humane conduct of the Prince de Joinville is what might have been ex- pected from so excellent a person, who, inde- | pendent of his own services, rewarded the bravery of Jerome with a handful of gold coins. On board and Mis. Lynn, of the Waterloo Hotel, did all that the dreadful occasion and humanity could suggest,--the princesses, divesting them- selves of some of the under garments they wore, tosupgly the wants of the helpless wo- men_who had been rescued from the flames. Mr. Littledale’s early and inceszant exertions are | also highly spoken of. It remains for both Eng- | lishmen and Americans to.dlush for the desertion of the captain trom the place of danger,—[This is amistake. Ed. Herald |—and the culpable indif- | ference of the masters of the steamers Orion and | Cambria, who passed the burning ship, to be in time for next morning’s cattle market. The co- lumns of the Herald ought also to record the noble conduct of the second mate, whose good services ovght not to be overlooked. Among the arrivals in England, 1s that of Louis Blanc; like his Jate sovereign and governors, he is here to look on, ata safe distance, the issue of French struggles -for a new political existence. It 1s not yet known where he has taken up his abode; but that indefatigable and pruvient gentlemen, our reporter, will nct allow that to remain long a mys- tery, any more than the routine of his movements and the visits of his friends. During his flight through Belgium, he was delayed at Ghent, tor want of a passport; but the omission was over- looked when it became known who he was. At the present appropriate time, a new book has been issued from the Edinburgh press, on the his- tory and culture of the potato, by Mr. Bain, ac- countant. He gives many plausible theories, much practical intormation, derived from his own ex- perience and that of several good agriculturists. A mere notice of its contents can only now be given. Mr. Bainestimates the gross yearly value of the crops in Great Britain, under average cir- cumstances, at sixty millions sterling; six millions more than the total revenue of the country; which will show that, when a destructive blight comes over the crop, how great the calamity is; 1n fact, itis worse than a double impost of the existing taxation of the kingdom. In its culture, the neces- sity is impressed of a judicious selection of soil and manures; the former, wher circumstances per- mit having a norihern aspect, shelter from eastern and scuthern winds, he considers an important condition to euccessful cultivation, as also the de- pene of the seed not more than the usual depth. Extremes in temperature, or excess of wet or drought, are alike prejudicial, in his estimation, as he instances the blight of 1815 to have been accom- panied with a period ef cold and wet weather; and that of 1846, with heat and drought. Such are briefly the opimions of Mr. Bain, which must be acceptable, at this time, to the public, when their interests are so affected by the subject on which he has written. If it does not promote the immediate results, it wall, at all events, be the means of ori- ginating discussion, which may ultimately lead to more tangible benefits The free kirk question in Scotland still oceasion- ally agitates the public mind ; and in Edinburgh several persons have had their property seized and sold, whilst others have been imprisoned, to satisfy the claimsof the establishment. The oppo- sition of Sir James Graham to the bill that was in Parliament, with the view of effecting compulso! sales of sites for free kirks, has been successful. This gentleman had no personal interest in the question, but that of serving those of the Duke of Buccleugh against this body of separists. His grace, who is the possessor of large districts of country, extending, in one case, through the southern counties of Scotland for a distance of sixty miles, is a powerful opponent to the free kirk. Having many congregations, in his territories, he peremptorily refuses them, sites for their churches on tender of the most ample payments ; nay, the fields, the moois, and the glens are his, and are alike denied them, and the purposes of public wor- ship have, in many instances, only been accom- phshed by congregations assembling on the public highways. As regards the free kirk worshippers, the present is a very hard case; ter no kind o} strategery will meet it, as the Duke is omnipotent. No fxtenaly barn can open its doors for their ac- commodation, for the barn is his; and if the ten- ent gives offence by ailording a shelter to the outcasts, he does so at soo he is not anxious to test. Property 18 said to have its Tights, but it has algo its duties 1mposed upon it, and certainly one | of them appears to be a concession to the popular | will on a matter of such vital importance as this seems tobe. It 1s with the public character of his grace a serious and discreditable affair, which no | favorable traits of private life can atone for. In a national point of view, the conduct of the govern- | ment in rejecting this bill was highly impolitic ; for | they alienate by their injustice ‘a respectable, | powerful, and deeply reflecting body of persons, | who cannot forget the harshness they labor under. Some opinion may be formed of the wealth, | character, and determination of this body, when it 1s known that Hy have raised by voluntary | contributions one million and a half sterling, and with this sum erected, in nearly seven hundred parishes, as many new and substantial churches. Independent of this, in most cases, each church has been furnished with a suitable residence for the minister, as well as a school-house, which goes to swell the amount to a close approximation | on two millions sterling. For the prospects of the harvest, the week ends | unfavorably. Thursday was one of warmth | and sunshine, followed in the evening by a thunder- storm, of more than ordinary duration ; the rain falling heavily for the greater portion of the night. Friday partakes much of the character of the pre- ceding day; and as these lines are being written in the evening, the gathering masses of fleecy clouds indicate a further fall, To these alternations of weather, is attributable the injury that has already occurred to. the cro; In various midland and | southern counties of England, the standing corn 13 much eprouted, and many instances have been seen of four and five heads ne massed together | by this means, An opinion at the present time 1s prevalent, that fair samples of wheat will bring | about fourteen and ahalf dollars per quarter. Large | purchases have already been made in Belgium, | and still larger in the Baltic. Prices will not be able to range much higher than the above, because | the English will be the only buyers in the market, | the harvests of other countries haying been se- cured in good condition, and the quality being fally | an average one. ‘The operations of English corn merchants must already have been extensive, as | many large private deposits have been withdrawn | from the bank, in bullion, to remit to foreign cor- respondents. For the last three weeks, the returns of the Bank of England show a decrease of bullion, which 1s accounted for in the above transactions. The | week also closes with the important intelligence, | that an armistice has been signed at Malmo, on | the 26th of August, by the Danes and Prussians, which is to remain in force till the first day ot March, 1849. Probably, more important still, 18 | the intelligence that Austria has refused the joint mediation of England The ground | of this refusal, is the belief expressed that a shorter | solution of the difficulties that exist between | Sardinia and itself, will be arrived at by their own overnments. It has already been stated that a | French army is approeching the Rhine, and later | intelligence announces the departure from the in- terior of another division, to strengthen the arm of the Alps. The leading organ of the Englisl ministry, 1n giving this information, speaks very | despondingly- The reorganization by Charles | Albert, of his army, on an extensive scale, the preparations of Austria, and the ominous move- | ments of Irench troops, seem at, the present mo- ment to betoken a general suspicion among the | great powers, which may, with their formidable | preparations, end in a sanguinary war.

Our Berlin Correspondence, Berwin, August 28, 1848, Disturbances in Berlin—Attack on a Democratic Club—Serrous Difficulty—The Disturbances in Vienna, §c. Within the last week disturbances have again taken place in this city, They were principally caused by the excitement of the public feelingip consequence of an event which occurred at Char- lettenburg, a small town im the vicinity of Berlin The population of Charlottenburg had been known since the revolution, as obstinately adhering to the principles of the old system of government. Whenever there was an occasion, on which the people of Charlottenburg might show their ex- treme aversion to the newly established order of things, they never failed todo so. Thus they had juite recently given a most convincing proof of their conservative principles, by beating and 1ll- treating in the most outrageous manner a party of students, from this city, who had been engaged in a quarrel with some of the military at Charlotten- burg. But the acts committed by them in the past week surpass all they have yet done togaiua notoriety in the political world. A democratic club, which was to be formed at Charlottenburg by I number of citizens, who were regarde heretics, was the occasion which led isevents. The plan to form such a club had no sooner been conceived, that a plot was laid to frustrate it. The first meeting, which was to be held by the club, was appointed as the time to exe- cute the plot, When the members assembled on the morning chosen for the meeting, they were suddenly attacked by a furious mob, armed with sticks, which were freely used to inflictasummary punishment on the unfortunate members for the political heresy they had been guilty of, nor was this all the mischief done. The members, after they had thus been ill-treated and had fled to seek protection in their homes, were pursued thither by the mob. Next, their houses were broken open, and acts of violence against them and their tami- lies and property were recommenced. For the purpoee of doing the work in the most complete iylenihe mob, among whom were a great number of citizens, proceeded in the same manner against all who were suspected in the slightest degree of entertaining liberal Pascned and finally agreed to lock up all the political criminals in some place together. This was second ingly done, though the prisoners were released again shortly after by the authorities of the town, who,however, had offered no protection whilst the aflair was going on. Ot the number, who have been badly injured in con- sequence of the ill-treatment received, one has been mortally wounded. Thesensation which this event created in Berlin, as soon as the newsepread through the city, was remarkable. Crowds gathered on the Linden, and thousands filled the large space before the opera-house, where the leaders of the democratic party address- edthe people. After some speeches had been made 1n discussion of the event, and the outrage which had been committed by a party opposed to liberty had been pointed out, as an insult to the Beetle it was resolved upon to proceed forthwith to the Minister of the Interior, to demand expla- nations, as tothe measures the government had taken to make immediate inquiries into the case, and to punish all who were found guilty. The mass of the people moved towards the (hate of the Minister of the Interior, and a deputation was chosen to hold conference with the Minister. It happened, however, that the Minister was not present, and had gone to a diplomatic circle, which was held that evening at the Minister-Pre- sident Von Anerswald’s. Thereto, then the crowd proceeded, after they had convinced themselves of the truth, by searching through the whole house of the Minister, and then breakiug his windows, asa sort of revenge for the useless trouble they had taken about him. When they arrived before the house of the Minister-President, and found the door locked, they at once announced themselves to the Minister-President and the diplomatic circle entertained within, by breaking the windows, and making every preparation to storm the house. It is stated, that the select party, assembled at Mr. Von Anerswald’s, consisting of the diplomatic corps, the Ministry and deputies, were firstapprised of the things going on without by the appearance of several big stones, which came through the windows. The diplomatic circle was shortly after broken up by the departure of the guests, who left in some haste through a bagk door of the house. In the meantime, the Mini®ter of Justice had ad- dressed the people without, but had received, in reply to his admonishment, the advice, that he should better resign at once. A deputation which was sent into the house of the Minister-President proposed, in like manner, that Mr Von Anerswald should take his resignation. ‘The Minister-Presi- dent, however, informed them, that the only legal representatives of the people were the iN Meare tives in the National Assembly, and that he would not acknowledge any other. Meanwhile, a regular fight was taking place in the street. A line of con- stables had advanced till before the house of Mr. Von Anerswald, and defended it with drawn swords against the assaults of the crowd. Many here were severely wounded ot the people, and of the number of the constables one has been dangerously injured. The burgher-guard. which was called out shortly after, succeede in clearing the strrets, with the point of the bayo- net, and quiet was again restored. In consequence of this affair, many who are sus- pected of having taken part in it, have been arrest- ed. It 1s known that several deputies ‘of the Na- tional Assembly were among the leaders of the crowd, but rheir names have not been ascertained. The event has beenstated to the National Assem- bly by the Minister of the Interior, in one of the latest sittings, and a law against public meetings, and the assembling of crowds in the streets and public roads, has been proposed by the ministry, tor the purpose of preventing the repetition of such disturbances. Much excitement exists here in consequence of this law having been bropowed as it contains several restrictions of the nght of free assemblage, and serious events may be expected, if the law will be passed. The government is de- termmed to pass it at all hazards, and all prepara- tions are made to suppress any demonstration which may be made from the part of the people against it. In the past week, meetings were held by the people, in which it was resolved that all en- deayors to oppose the passing of the law should be used. Aconflict between the government party and the working classes, who ave so numerous 1n this city, and are the powerful allies of the demo- cratic party, is expected to take place soon. The dissatisfaction of the lower classes of the population here has increased, on account of the measures which have been taken by the govern- ment to keep down the democratic party, by means of a more complete system of police. ‘The newly~ created forces of police have principally caused this dissatisfaction, and the continual quarrels oc- casioned by their interference will shortly lead to some serious occurrence. fr An event similar to that which has lately taken place at Paris may possibly happen in this city, if the present state of things continues much longer. On the night of the 26th instant, the police, having been informed that a provision of arms and muni- tion was concealed in the locality of a society of the trading and working classes, proceeded, with aforce of five hundred men, to the place, and found some munition concealed there. Last night another re-search was held by the police, in a different part of the city, and again some munition of arms has beet touniu, Which had been concealed rested to-day in consequence of this, and great ex- citement has been created among the working classes by these proceedings. It is feared that an attempt will be made by the workmen to free the prisoners, and the place where they are confined is guarded by matty ‘ ccounts received from Vienna state the particu- lars of a disturbance which took place there on the 23d instant. The ministry had reduced the wages of the workmen two cents, and the working popu- lation of the city had risen in consequence, and a conflict with the National Guard had ensued, in which six lives were lost, and about one hundred persons severely wounded. Towards the evening, quiet had again been restored. The negotiations for the settlement of a peace with Italy are going on, and, in a very short time, the terms will be agreed upon. ‘The Danish war continues, and there 1s no cer- tain prospect that it will be ended soon; though peace is desired by all partie Our Stuttgart Correspondence. Sturroant, Aug. 10, 1843. Abolishment of Privileged Cl and of Capital Punishment. ‘The National Parliament, at Frankfort, or conven- tion for framing a constitution for the government of the German nation, has taken a bold position in re. gard to the abolition of the above institutions. In its session of the Ist August, the second article of the sixth section of the “fundamental principles of the German Constitution’— vis. “All Germans are equal in the eye of the law; privileged classes shall not exist; public \ by workmen. Some of the latter have been ar- | offices are within the reach of all’—was the order of th? day,and came under discussion. As unanimous as the Americans may be upon this subject, and as little doubt as may exist in their minds, as to the rights o¢ individuals, expressed in the above paragraph, it must be borne in mind, that in Germany, the opinion of the public is very much divided in regard to this matter, and that a vast amount of prejudice was to be over- come in establishing political equality among all thy citizens of the German Confederacy. It will be re- membered how strenuously the enemies of popula’ government opposed a universal franchise, how tena- | ciously the old system of privileged classes, of titles and aristocratic distinctions, was clung to by « not contemptible number of the framers even of the pre- | sent enlightened and incomparable Constitution of the | United States. And then, it must be remembered, that the Americans sprung from a» people whose political institutions were, at that time, the most liberal and favorable in the world; they were: by their geographical sition, tially re. moved from ‘the influence ‘of the’ oceenys, Pivae classes, and the propagation of notions of liberty and independence, was & natural and necessary con- sequence of their relation to the mother country, and the distance which separated them from their trans- Atlantic rulers. When we contrast with this the con- dition of the German people, borne down and oppressed by ruthless tyrants, their energies crushed, the means ot improvement effectually taken from them; even the right of interchanging ideas, by word or letter, in meetings or through the press, denied them;—when we consider the powerful influence which the aristocrats, the privileged classes, the all. mighty office-holders have, | until very eoently, exercised over the people—then we will be better enabled to appreciate the conduct of the | Frankfort Parliament: then will we be prepared to give it credit for its bold and liberal action, in thisrespect, at least, however slow it may be to give the people theirrights. and to fulfil its duties in other matters.— But lo? scarcely have we time to congratulate the people upon this point, when another act of the same dy gives us new cause for regret, What it gave us with one hand, it takes away with the other. Immedi- ately after the vote, by which the above mentioned | paragraph was adopted. a proposition was made to the | Parliament, to abolish the “nobility” likewise, now that | no privileged classes should continue to exist. Ifthe | Parliament had shown the least consistency in its | principles, it would either have passed this proposition, | or rejected it, on the ground that the abolishment of the | privileged claeses, already comprised the abolishment of nobility, amd made farther action upon the subject unnecessary; but no such thing. ‘The Parliament, b; ayote of 282 against 166, refused to pass the proposi- tiong, after a variety of speakers had endeavored to show the inexpediency, and the impracticabil- hing a class of people that comprised with- tter part of the German nation, “among whom alone, intelligence and patriotism was to be found.” The majority of the Parliament seemed to have been influenced by this reasoning, when they | cast their votes upon the proposition, and thus passed | & pocr compliment on the German nation at large; for, however numerous the nobility may be, it never contain more than about one-fourth of the popu- lation, and so three-fourths of the people are, by the | vote of their official representatives, declared to be | void of“intelligence and patriotism.” By this vote. a | class of individuals is declared to be superior, in amoral | and social point of view, than the rest of mankind; | and this superiority depends merely upon the acci- dent of birth; an institution is officially recognized by the representatives of the people, themselves owing | their origin to a revolution, which is in direct conflict | equality which was declared immediately before the | vote upon the last named proposition was taken; | & principle is retained and engrafted upon the new copstitution, which is a relict of the old | system of opprersion and injustice to the many, which has .lost all meaning, all claims, to « reasonable consideration in the present time of revo- lution and progress, But itcan not live long; nobi- lity, with all its oppression, its disregard of the funda- mental principles of liberty and equality, will eventu- ally be crushed, and it may yet draw with it into its sinking vortex the monarchical system, to which it is, at present, a faithful and powerful prop, a natural and unalienable ally. In the session of the 4th inst., the 7th paragraph of the “fundamental principles’’’ was discussed. Origi- nally, as reported by the committee, this tection merely contained some provisions in regard to the preceedings | in criminal and ciyil cases; but as it was finally | adopted, it also provides for the abolishment of capital | punishment in all cases, except such, where it is pre- | scribed by martial law; the punishment of branding | and of public exposure, and corporeal punishment, is likewire abolished I will not undertake to examine, | whether it was the province of a constituent conven- | tion to pass laws in regard to the punishment of crimi- | nals, her such matters do not properly belong | to the legislative bodies of the several States ot Govern- | ments. In the United States, such points are detinitely rettled, and I know that it will be considered strange and ridiculous for a body, whore task itis to frame sy: tems of government, to anticipate the functions | of that authority, which it is to create, But then it | must again be recollected, that the Germans are novices in all parliamentary proceedings; that their several | duties and rights are not clearly understood by them, | and that a digression from their true course is, for this reason, much more pardonable, than a similar error would be in the statesmen of the established and eet- tled Republic of America. Even there it is a tender and delicate point to establish the true line of demar- | cation between the authority of the General Govern- ment and the rights of the States, notwithstanding the plain and simple language of the constitution ; and much party-strife and contention has arisen from | this subject. Let it suffice, therefore, to acknowledge | the liberal stand taken by the Parliament in abolishing | a system of punishment repulsive to all the principles | of humanity ; let us give credit to this, otherwise not | over-liberal body, for surpassing, in one instance at | least, even the glorious Constitution of the Ameri- can’ Union, All philanthropists, all friends of hu- manity, will rejoice at the idea, that this cruel, | unnatural relict of barbarity is no longer recogniz- ed by one of the principal powers of the world, by a nation of forty-five millions of souls. But’ the contest was a severe one, and the triumph of | humanity not easily acieved. If the advocates of this repulsive system. the enemies of progress and civilization, had not been too secure—if they had not thought it an impossibility to be defeated, it is probable | that they would have been victorious. When they discovered their real danger, these advocates of dark- ness, among whom, to their sbame be it said, nearly all of the clergy, priests and pastors, contained in the Parliament, ate to be found. They strained every nerve to defeat the measure. They sought, at least, to | postpone it, by declaring that a subject ef such importance had not been duly considered and disc | ed, and togain time, in this manner, to prepare for more vigorous resistanc’. But their efforts were too Jate, and proved unavailing. The local legislatures of Prussia and Austria have likewise abolished capital | punishment. | Another session of great interest was (hat of the 7th | | August, in which the repcrt of the Committee on Legis- lation, in regard to the amnesty of the exiled political criminals, especially Hecker, was the order of the day. Your readers are probably aware, that, upon the out- break of the commotions last spring, this Hecker, and his followers, proclaimed the republic in Baden, and attempted to establish it by force of arms. It is proba- ble that more than two-thirds of the citizens of Baden were in favor of the republic, and a yast army joined | Hecker in his attempts, But the then existing govern- ment called to its help the military of four or five other States, Wartemberg, Bavaria, Austria, &c.. and, by means of a vast superiority of numbers, crushed the rebels, as they are called. ‘Those of them that fell into | the hands of the authorities, were imprisoned, and tried as conspirators and traitors, and those that es- caped, were declared in exile. Now Hecker, the lead- er of the republican party, was elected to the National Parliament by a district in Baden, and his constituents demanded that he be recalled and allowed to take his seat in the convention. ‘The subject was referred to the Committee on Legisiation, who reported in the ses- n of the 7th August. The discussion on this report ied forth all the energy of the left side, who, of | 8 | cal course, are in favor of Hecket’s being recalled, but the | right side, (having a great majority.) are bitterly op | posed to bim, and wish to subject him to the utmost rigor of the law, The debate became so exciting, that | a general uproar, in which one ef the speakers of the left was torn from the tribune, ensued, and the ses- sion bad to be adjourned. As the spectators in the gallery had taken part in th» uproar, the doors were closed next day, and the en- trances guarded by military. Only the reporters of newspapers were admitted. After the left had demand- ed ratisfaction for the insults offered to o f their speakers, and been refused, they left the hall, forty in number, and refused to participate in the further de- bate. The discussion probably not ded for several days. Much anxiety is felt by the public as to what the result will be; but { am confident that neither Hecker, nor any of his fellow-exiles, will be recalled. (Hecker is, at this time, in Muttenz Switzerland, where he continues to excite the Germans to resistance to the parliament.) J The Speech of General Cavaignac on Italian a Intervention. General Cavaignac, the head of the French govern- ment, when recently called on to give some explana- tion of the action of the government on the Italian question, made the follo’ peech, which the Lon- don Times, of August 26th, thus notices :— “ On this ground he made, in answer to questions put to him with reference to the Italian mediation, the most importa: delivered, and hi and successful speech he has yec countered, with great superiority, with all principles of democracy, and with that | ;, | and she was again compelled to abandon him. Women, 1OF me LO manage, who am not in the h making long explanations from this place. I shall, jowever, endeavor to be as clear and concise as may be. When the Assembly first cal upon me to take the direction of affairs, my frat care was to take cogni- zance of the acts of your foreign policy. I studied all these questions with Freat care, especially the docla- rations of the Assembly on foreign affairs, This policy wi ‘anchisement of Italy. If I had not thought | myself able tosecond the views of the Assembly, | should not certainly be called upon to consider to-day before it the Italian question. I have, then, endeavored toas- certain thw ideas of the Assembly on all questions of foreign policy. In making the maintenance of an honorable peace, worthy a republic like ours, the basis of our policy, the National Assembly had shown itself disposed to second, with all ita efforts, the independence of Italy. I have always understood that the idea of the nation was fixed on an honorabie pease. (Yes, yes ) 1 know very well that in # country like ours, more courage is needed to defend peace than to excite war. (Very well! very well!) ‘The situation of affairs, fel- low- citizens, appears to me to be changed since recent events; and when I say this, let not any idea but my | own be attributed tome. It does not enter into m mind to address reproaches to any people, and thoug! | disposed to a pacific solution, I declare that these | people kave excited my admiration by their conduct | and their energetic resistance. No one is ignorant in what disposition of mind our declarations have been | received in Italy, They were received with a generous sentiment, which we could not blame; not only the nation which lent ita assistance to Lombardy, but Lembardy itself has said that they wish to manage | their own affairs themselves, to secure their libert themeclyer. This generous thought is maintained ti the present day. The Piedmontese army was in full retreat the desire of intervention was manifested, In view of this ‘state of-tittrgs, we should-havo failed in our duty if we bad not cought to provide for all possible occurrences. (Well, well.) The intervention, repeat it, was not asked for ; it was even repulsed. In this state of Cele we addressed ourselves to the English nation, who, within certain limits, were to take part in the mediation. We said to it: The ques- tion of Italy imposes on us duties of which you aro not ignorant. We wish that the peace of Europe may not be troubled : that depends, we believe,on you. In allying youreelf to France in one idea, and in a com- mon action, it depends on youjto prevent war and maintain the peace of Europe. This appeal, made in ich terms,could not but be heard. The English pation could not, as we theught, remain deaf to this appeal. We were not deceived. Eng- land joined with Jus in the mediation, and I have the hope and the desire that we shail continue to gecure the peace of Europe. Citizens, [ think it neither useful nor proper, to enter into minute detail respecting this mediation. I can only recal on what principles our present position rests. We do not invoke the habitual right of organized governments out of the Arsembly; we are, ourselves, organized in and bythe Assembly. We acknowledge, and we pro- claim, that the Assembly is sovereign, and what it wills shall be done, (very well, very well,) but we declare to it, that the mediation would ‘be endangered by giving a more extensive, more developed communication, than Thave done. (Very well, very well.) Before descend- ing from the tribune, I will repeat an idea that my duty awakens in me. 1 know that a eountry go sus- ceptible on questions which touch its honor, {and I make it Pno reproach on account of this susceptibility, for it does it honor,)—I know well, that often more courage is required to plead for peace than to plead for war. In the history of our country, I have seen more than one man who has gained a great name by war, I have, also, seen many who have ended ob- scurely, after having efficaciously served the pacific interests of their country, As to me, I solemnly de- clare, I think that the Republic will be founded in France, that the republican education will be finished, only when the men whom chance calls to the head of af- 4, shall know how to accept a modest policy, and to t less of themselves. sipent.—Applause is forbidden by the rules. vaicnac.—This is, citizens, the line of con- m firmly decided to follow while the Assembly will perr it it. (Very well, very well.) iin secure for our country an honorable peace, wort! republic, and I do not ask a gr r part, and | shall think I have merited the esteem of the republic. (Prolonged bravos.) If, on the contrary, | may have to ask, (and I do not believe I shall.) if I should have to counsel our country to engage in war, it will be, I will not eay pleasant to me, but it will be very easy to me to resume the habits of my life, to obey my warlike instincts, This would be more easy than anything elee tome. I declare, if such a necessity should offer itelf, I should be ready to seize again my sword, to de- fend the interests of our country; and as it would bela national motive which prompts my action, it would be with a conscience perfectly calm, with great tran- quillity of mind, that I should join myself to the war- like instincts of the nation; but, till then {I shall resist, ‘vith immoyable firmness, all tendencies which may be offered against the @ and the future quiet of the republic. (Great and prolonged approbation ) City Intelligence. Jous Suxicnt, tHe Murpeace.—The indomitable resolution of this man was certainly without prece- dent. Throughout the vast criminal calendar of t world, never before has resolution been carried so far that the culprit starved himself to death, asa means of ercaping a death of publicignominy. ‘Thie unfortu- nate man for many years lived in comfort and happi- ness with the partner of his bosom, and but for yield- ing to the temptation of liquor, both would now occu- py w respectable position in society. He was at one Ume proprietor of @ blacksmith shop on the north side of the city, amd prosperity followed him. He ried in a very respectable family,and for ten or twelve years things went on admirably. He lost one or two children, which seemed, for » time, deeply to affect his mind, and in a short time after began to drink mode- rately. His wife, apprehensive of what might possibly result, remonstrated against it. They were then in circumstances whichenabled them to live free fom the hardships of life, and a proper eourse was only ne- cestary to insure a life ofhappiness andcontentment. He waeamost kind and affectionate husband, until | all the firm feelings of the man were drowned in the bowhof Bacchus. Profligacy followed, and in a short timeall that had been realized through years of toil and economy. was swept away as by the besom of de- struction. The man then become a brute, and the continued ill-treatment towards the wife, compelled her to abandon him, and seek protection among her remaining friends. “This occurred about two. yoars ago. He left the city and went to Staten Island, tak- ing their only child with him, which he lodged in the care of arelative or friend, residing In the neighbor- hood of Port Richmond. ‘After alapse of time, he came tothe city and requested his wife again to live with him, promising, for the future, he would cease to indulge in drinking. Te this she consented; butit was not long before he fell back to his old practices, He re- turned to Staten Island, but about four months ago in requested his wife to live with him. Seeing in his countenance all the marks of an improper course oflife, she most positively refused his request. He made’ several attempts to induce her to comply, but without effect. Despairing of all hope, he determined to renew the request, and, if again denied, then to kill her and afterwards himéelf, He made the request, and no sooner was s compliance denied, than he drow a pistol, which he had provided for the purpose, and shot her, from the effect of which she died in afew hours after, He then fled, having determined that he would destroy bis life by starvation, and never tasted | food again. When evertaken by the officers of tho law, be attempted to cut his throat, but failed. When brought to prison, he was offered food, but so strong was the resolution he had formed in his mind, that all the efforts of thore who had him in charge could not induce him to take one morsel of nourishment ; and thus persisted until nature sunk, and he died of actual starvation, Had bis determination, when he promised his wife to amend his ways,-beom so strong tentment would probably have reigned, instead of the occurrence of the awful tragedy which snapped the thread of the existence of the one, andthe singular suicide, that of the other. In this fatal step a lesson of caution is held w perance, and one which should be calculated to deter any wan from progressing one step further, lest the same unbappy or similar consequences mi Such undaunted resolution is commen the object is for good effect, but most unfortunate and rash, when such serious and revolting events are anti- cipated. something) could it be known, which tends to excite all the indignant ire of the virtuous of its citizens. But 8 few days since. a transaction came off, which by far ex- cels all the truckling villany which it has fallen upon the press to expose, A man in moderate circumstan- ces, with a emall family, residing in the Fifth ward, was the cause of having hie wife arrested and exposed for the gratification of a miserable wretob, bearing the A similitude of woman, who keeps ® house of fame in Reade ot. It perme that he had been living in illicit intercourse with this woman for some time, during which, he took jewelry belonging to his and presented her, and eventually took all the r ware and other valuablo articles, including » andsome silver comb belonging to his wife, and placed them in charge of this woman. His wife, by some ac- cident, hearing what had become of the property, im- prudently, but as seme are apt to do, repaired to the lace of the rival of her domestic happiness, and, see- og the property, demanded it. She was not only re- fused, but an officer called, and she dragged to the police court, on a charge derly conduct. The vile creature followed, when the magistrate, in his igno- rance, manded bail of her, and demanded that ‘an officer should accompany her, lest sh re-appeer. ‘The following day, however, a gentleman who had long beenacquainted with her, and knowing her to be # respectable woman, and above reproach, voluntarily entered bail for her, and thus rescued her from imprisonment. During all this time, he who had sworn to cherish and protect her never don in the ap oppovent far more practised than himsel war of words, We have seldom read @ more di address, if, indeed, it had not higher merits than those of oratorical ingenuity, than this epeech of the head of the French government.” The following report of the speech is eopied from the Paris Notional, of August 22 .

(Yes, yes, vory well) The queation, the Assembly will acknowledge, is certainly one of great delicacy, especially at this , nor did he attempt to devise any means whereby sh should be set at liberty. Such consummate villany is unprecedented, and should be punished, at least with the contempt of every virtuous citizen.

Now, the police, we aro led to believe, are ever vigilant in the suppression of vice tending to demora- lize the better portions of the community, but such, | however, we are sorry to say. is not, in thi: instance, the case. as the evil complained of still exists, and has been in active operation for months past, much to the discredit of our worthy Mayor and Chief of Police, whom, we thought, were always apprised of such casos, in ordur to apply the remedy, which we now oall upow the authorities to do, It appears, in May last, an in- teresting little woman, (# French Canadian,) eame to this city with a family of two, daughters and one son, the latter isa boy of about ten years of age, and the daughters are two pretty binck eyed girls, of fourteen and sixteen years, ‘The mother of these beautiful children, for they are, in fact, nothing more, knowing full well the value of this commodity in the market, was sufficiently lost to all sense of shame and parental feeling, as to place them at the disposal. for « considera- tion, of any libertine who would accede) to the terms; or, in other words, the mother exists upon the prosti- tution of her own flesh and blood, of her own children, who have not yet reached maturity. For the more successful accomplishment of this horrible purpose she rented @ small houe in the Fifth Ward. in one o the principal streets, the lower part of which is fitted up as @ store for the sale of segars, liquors, &e ‘The upper part is appropriated to the recep: tion of those to whom she had prostituted her daughters, and made the rendezvous for their nightly orgies, ‘The entrance tothis part of the esta- blishment is through the store, by a blind door through the counter, ‘The lower part of the building is eo arranged, that our most respectable feliow eitizons have publicly passed in and out, without the object of their visit being suspected by passers by.

Young men about town are by no means ignorant of its attraction, but they have to remain outsiders, while those clothed in a little authority are in posses- sion of the premises and thcir unfortunatefvictis of a parent's infamy. When such things are known to exist in the very heart of the city; when those whose duty it is to ferret out and bring to punishment such unnatural and horrible depravity, not only wink at it, but participate in the crime, what an awful state society must be in; and what may we not expect from those whose education and associations have been such ag to familiarise them with such ecenes. It is heart-sick- ening, and makes us weep for poor human nature.— Had. it even been unknown to those individdals that theee young creatures were the offspring of this wretch, their actions would not have been less dis- creditable; but when this ciroumstance was known to them all, what must be their feetings, what their na- tures, to participate in the transaction, to make them- selves, as it were, parties to the damnable work? We have not made these statements without being tho- roughly ported up inall the particulars. Neither have we made the.e charges against individuals, without knowing where to put our finger upon them. 'The reat we leave to the Mayor and the Chief of police. Captain Johnston A charge, a few weeks ago, was made against Captain Wm. S. Johnston, of the Eighteenth Ward police, before the Mayor, alleged by agirl named Margaret Helvich, setting forth that Mr, Jobnston committed an indecent assault upon her. ‘This charge was, on Friday last, most thoroughly investigated by his honor, the Mayor, in which the girl gave such very contradictory statements, showing clearly that the charge was unfounded, the Mayor ditmiseed the case, the complainant failing to substantiate the charge in any particular. Defrauding a Peech Merchant.—Two men, by the name of Richard Smith and Warren Dickson, were arrested yesterday, on a charge of defrauding a young countryman, from Monmouth County, N. J., by the name of Win. B. Reed, out of thirty-one baskets of peach ued at $21. ’ They were both detained for a further hearing by Justice Lothrop, Retaliation on a Lawyer.—If there is anything that delights a thief, it is to rob a lawyer ; for, at least in many cases, where they do succeed, they only recover back the extorted fee obtained by the legal practi- tionér of the thief while under arrest or confined in the Tombs. One of these so-called legal gentlemen, is named Chew Schnebly, who keeps his office at No. 4 Murray st., and for the last few months has been allowed the run of the prison before breakfast, in order to act a& counsel for them. Some of these thieves, it is said, who have been relieved from prison by Mr. Schne- bly, have visited his office in Murray street, possibly to consult upon the best means of defeating ‘poor Dame Justice; and thus it is supposed they have taken a full view of the premises, that, upon ® suitable tithe, they might carry their designs into execution. This time arrived; os on Sunday night, during the storm, two of these bold robbers, who, it seems, were well acquaint- ed with the premises, entered Mr.Schnebly’s office, and, with a false key, opened the desk drawer in which were deposited $78 in eash, « diamond finger ring, a gold watch, a gold watch chain, together with several other articles of value, worth, in all, near $150. This done, and the night being very stormy, and being wet without, they felt like being wet within; and knowing Mr. 8. always kept a good glass of wine and excellent segars, for the use of his clients and friends, they unlocked a closet, helped themselves to @ bottle of wine, which they drank on the spot, at the some, time finishing up some plum-cake, not forgetting, however, to provide themselves with « goodly number of the beet segars, ‘Thus, after regaling themselves at the expense of their learned friend, they took their departure, carrying off the above named property, tome of which was merely held by Mr. 8. as collateral recurity for counsel fees. It is rumored amongst cer- tain. officers that the rogues are known, as the exploit as been whispered in a certain quarter, whic! it beyond a doubt that the ones suspected are the in- dividuals who “did” the lawyer; but as no reward cflered as yet, we auch doubt ff any arrests are made. Robbing a Comrade.—Two soldiers, from Governor's Island, by the names of James Bonton and Wm. Wirner, lodged together on Monday night in » board- ing house, and early the next morning,Bonton step} out, taking’ with hia Wirner’s puree, containing thirty- ars. On Wirner discovering his loss, he im- suspected Bonton, and procuring the aid of officer Nesbit, of the Fifth Ward, went in pursuit, and, in a ehort time, caught Bouton, who, on being taken into custody, acknowledgeds stealing the money, and took the officer to the place of concealment, which was in the gutter, at the back of the boarding house.
