At the sitting of the Assembly, on the 13th instant, | se subject of Prince Louis Napoleon’s exclusion was jiscussed. M. Louis Blanc opposed the measure, con- vending that the laws of proscription were essentially anti-Republican. Another member questioned the panee’s right to sit in thechamber at all. Mr. Fresnon contradicted the report that shots had been fired on Monday, explaining that the captain of the national ward ad been wounded by accident. He proclaimed vimself a fanatical devotee of the imperial family. M. Yielliard defended his ‘absent friend,’ the prince, and hore testimony to his patriotism and disinterestedness. {js election had been spontaneous on the part of the seople. It was a protest against the humiliating treaties of J815, and against the miserable law which it was now igtended to revive.

M. Ledru Rollin:—A judicial investigation has just exmmenced, and it has been discovered that money has been distributed, and the house from which that money tas come is known; wine has also been distributed ; cries of * Vive Napoleon’ have resounded in our ears,

ARREST FOR a Murper CommitrTeD TWENyY-SEVEN

YEARS SINCE.—On Sunday, Constable Richard Rice of the Avoca constabulary station, county Wicklow, ar- rested aman named Edward Long, at Callan, in this} county, where he had some time resided, following the occupation of a horse-breaker. This man is charged

with having, twenty-seven years since, murdered a woman whom he had seduced, in a mountainous part of The body was not found for a long period after the commission of

the deed, but it was at last discovered by a dog, conceal-

ed in a sewer, and in a state of decomposition. Long absconded, he had not been heard of till arrested on Sunday. He was committed to the city gaol for that night, and on Monday morning removed to Baltinglas for examination before B. Warburton, Esq., R. M.— Kilkenny Moderator.

and the walls have been covered with seditious placards. Within four days three Napoleonist journals were esta- plished, preparing the way for the candidateship of Louis Napoleon as President. If the National Assembly thinks that no measures should be taken in the face of such facts, let it ‘declare its opinion—the Executive Committee does its duty, let the National Assembly do theirs. (Approbation.) Proscription and the sovereignty of the people have been spoken of, and these words had no doubt their effect on us. But we are now statesmen, and reason must take the part of sentiment. (Approba- tion.) It has been said that Louis Bonaparte is a stranger to what is goingon. That has been the ex- pression of every one but himself. Has he come and given his adherence to the Republic? 1 wish that those Republicans who are assembied round the walls of this building, and who allow themselves to be led away by yenerous sentiments, could hear my voice, for 1 would say tothem, ‘It is a Jaw of necessity, but which will be only temporary.’ As for those who have only placed themselves under thie standard to work on the old) souvenirs of glory against the Republic, there is no pity for them. (Approbation.)

The President read a proposition of M. Ducoux, to the effect that the admission of Louis Napoleon should not take place until he had declared his adhesion to the Republic one and democratic.

The proposition, not being seconded, fell to the ground.

The President.—I shall now proceed to put to the vote the question as to whether Louis Napoleon Bona- parte is admitted to take his seat in the Assembly or not. (Movement of great interest.)

The question being then put, was voted in the affir- mative by a great majority.’ (lummense sensation, which lasted some time.)

In consequence of this vote, Louis Napoleon is ad- mitted to take his seat, subject, however, to prove that le is a French citizen.

SPAIN.

The Madrid mails of the 7th inst. have arrived. It is reported that the Queen is enciente, and “eo pnt three months in that state. It was said that the circum- stance was not publicly declared, to prevent any im- pediment tothe negotiation with Count Montemolino.

It is also said that the Queen has addressed an auto- graph letter to Queen Victoria, giving assurances of the most friendly dispositions towards England, and saying, that the expalsion of Sir H. Bulwer had fer its object to increase the friendship between the two countries, and finally begging the Queen not to credit Sir Henry's representation, but to wait forthe statement of the Spauish Government.

ITALY.

The Vilan Gazette of the 3d, announce that Gioberti having asked the holy father whether he would go to Milan, to place the iron crown on the head of Charles Albert, the Pope answered, he would gladly do it, if it would be conducive to the peace and the prosperity of lwiy. The same journal announces the death of the celebrated writer Montanelli, and of the no less cele- brated naturalist Pilla, who fell before Mantua, in the Tusean ranks, on the 30th ult.

I Contemporanee says that the news of the fall of Peschiera arrived in Rome on the 4th, and caused great rejoicing. ‘Two companies of the carbineers are im- mediately to be raised and sent to the theatre of war.

NOVA SCOTIA.

Important Rumours !—Rumours were afloat in this city yesterday touching the purport of certain despatches said to have been received from the British minister in the United States the day previous. One story was, that the steamer which was employed by the British Government to convey Mitchel--the “felon” patriot of Ireland—to Bermuda, had been obstructed in her outward bound voyage, and the captive released. Another—and the most likely to be founded on truth--that an expedi- tion was on foot,in the neighbouring Republic, with this object in wiew. Certain it is, that a fast sailing vessel was immediately got ready for sea—her sails having been bent by seamen from the Pyramus, Receiv- ing Ship, and despatched to Bermuda yesterday morning —the crew for the voyage having been shipped at their own terms. Be these rumours true or false, there is something in the wind which requires speedy communi- cation to the authorities at Bermuda. ‘That it is con- nected with the transportation and confinement of Mit- chel we believe. The Irishmen of the United States, and the friends of liberty there,sympathising with Ireland in her present struggle—and their names arelegion, or we mistake the present feeling in that great country, (from which we have just returned)—will not allow the noble-hearted Mitchel to wear the felon’s chains in Ber- muda, without an effort, even at the cannon’s mouth, to save him from the degradation. In Bennett’s Herald cfine 21st. the suggestion for a descent on Bermuda, with the view of rescuing him, is plainly made. The enterprise will not fail through lack of means, nor will- ing hearts to carry it forward.—Halifar Sun.

Spirits, were fired upon by some of the supposed smug- glers, but fortunately received no injury. The firing was returned by the officers, with what effect is not known. A representation of the affair has been made to the Executive, and steps will no doubt be taken to dis- cover the persons guilty of this high-handed outrage.— St. John Courier.

CANADA.

In three weeks ora month the British and North American Electric Telegraph Company will have their line in ful] operation between Quebec and Metis. In ascarcely much longer time the Nova Scotians will have their share of the line up as far as the Newbruns- wick boundary. Application has been made to the home government for a grant of £5000 to carry the line through that province, and the grant being strongly urged upon the imperial authorities, by His Excellency the Governor General, the whole will be in complete operation by autumn next. ‘The termination of this, by far the most important line of telegraph in America, must aot be at Quebec; it is necessary that it should extend to the seat of government. We hearthat a meet- ing of the stockholders of this company will shortly be held to give an opportunity to all, to increase their stock and carry out this design, originally entertained, but abandoned because the Montreallers after negotiat-

that the Assembly, as a Chamber, recognised the events of March as a revolution, and that the combatants of March had deserved well of theircountry. This motion vas opposed by the Government and by the Conserva- ‘ves, who hold that though the events of March pre- “ipitated certain changes, there was no revolution like that of France, or like that of England in 1688, and that @|l the concessions and reforms should be made accord- ing to the regular constitutional and legal forms. Much

ing with several of the Committee for a coalition, built a line, and afterwards refused to the Quebec people any share in its management. ‘Tike new line will be in con-

the one being stockholdrs of the other—and cannot, therefore, fail to pay ; and if we have not much dealings yet with the lower Provinces, the telegraph will make them at least deal frequently with us. We trust our capatalists will be up and stirring—hora fusit—a month

PHISIOLOGY.

Dr. Womersley, recently arrived from New Brans- wick, who has been lecturing in the’ principal Towns, in that Province, and also in the United States, on Anatomy and Phisiology, commenced a Course of Lectures in the Town Hall on ‘Tuesday evening last on this most usefu! and interesting subject. The Dr. illustrates his lectures by a human Skeleton, and a most ingenious and expen- sive apparatus, of French invention, called a Manakin, showing not only a perfect resemblance of the externa! man, but being so constructed (of some 1700 distinct peces,) that each muscle, joint, bone,and in fact every part of the human body can be shown in a detached form. calculated to convey, in an eminent degree, correct in- formation with reference to the wonderful and wise structure of our person. The Doctor’s style is a plain practical, familier one,—easily understood and highly instructive. His language is admirably chaste and re- fined, and he handles his subject in a manner that can- not violate the most refined delecacy. We would gin- cerely recommend our fair readers to take advantage of the Doctor’s Lectures, and he will inform them ofa much better way of obtaining beauty of form than by the present lacing system. We wish the Dr. much

\success, ani trust that he may be induced to repeat his

course,

Nracara.—-The subjoined description of Niagara, is extracted from a tour made many years since by one, now a Member of Assembly in this Colony :—

*“ And now, reader, (if, indeed, I have been so fortu- nate as to bring you thus far) I doubt not that you will accompany me fromthe Lake down the bank of the river, which, asif in life and refreshed by its sleep in the Lake, rulls its green deep waters rapidly onwards, and hastens to the war below; I say, | doubt not that you will accompany me till the smoke of the cataract be seen and its roar be heard, Standing at Niagara, I saw before me a rivera mile in width, shooting precepitately down tosuch a depth, that its waters were one sheet of foam, before they mingled with the dark boiling gulf beneath. If[ can say no more, it is not because no ex citement arose, for the remembrance still excites; but that I can find no language adequate to express what passed through the mind, for again and again I drew back, as if he who was near could not but be in danger, and as often I returned to the verge, allured by the dread magnificence of the scene.”

QUERY! Whether has the Speaker gone to England or to Dalhousie, New Brunswick ?—Perhaps his Colleague, “the learned Doctor,” can give a correct answer.
