THE GARDENERS 
CHRONICLE. 
[JuLy 15, 
anything occur, that vigorsus measures of repression would 
at once be resorted to, sich as the suspension of habeas 
corpus, the calling ort of the volunteer battalions, &c. 
The Queen had been summoned from Cintra to attend a 
council of state on tle subject. The Cortes are about to 
close, after a long session, in which some important mea- 
sures have been passed. Among these is, contrary to 
general expectation, the Road Bill, in which the Peers had 
made so many amendments, that it was generally expected 
the bill would have to lie over till the next session. The 
Mixed Commission of the two chambers, however, have 
decided the question, by rejecting the amendments of the 
upper house ; so the bill will become law in the shape in 
which it passed the Chamber of Deputies. The peers 
have joined with the Deputies in a vote of confidence, 
under which the Government is empowered to collect the 
taxes for the ensuing year, and to raise money upon them 
in the best way it can, by issuing exchequer-bills, &c. 
GurmMany.—Letters from Vienna state that the English 
and French ambassadors have followed Prince Metternich 
to Aschel, nee the latter will go to Marienbad, a 
pl he neighbourhood of Konigs- 
mks, the Prince’ 8 principal estate in Bohemia; but the 
French ambassador will go to England, on eave of 
absence ; and itis rumoured that Sir R. Gordon will not 
return to Vienna until a new ambassador has been appointed 
by the Austrian court to that of St.James’s. The sudden 
rise in the price of grain in many parts of Germany, and 
more particularly in Bavaria and in the countries on the 
Maine, has caused a good deal of alarm, and most of the 
local governments have taken measures to check the inju- 
rious effects, apparently caused more from mercantile 
speculation than from actual deficiency. The merchants 
of Trieste intend to send, at the end of August, commis- 
sioners, by way of Egypt and Suez, to Southern Asia, and 
especially to India, in order to ascertain the possibility of 
opening an active trade between those countries and the 
Austrian empire. We noticed in our last the rejoicings in 
the Rhenish provinces on the rejection of the Prussian 
Penal Code by the Diet. The following incident, in con- 
nection with the same subject, is mentioned in the papers. 
During the representation of Mozart’s “ Don Juan” ai 
the Coblentz Theatre, on the evening of the 24th ult., 
in the scene where Don Juan compels Leporello to invite 
the statue to sup with him, the terrified valet, according 
to the text of the German opera, ought to have said, ‘‘ I 
would rather suffer the bastinado than invite such a 
guest ;’’ but M. Seraucturitz, who performed the part of 
Leporello, substituted for “ bastinado”’ the words “ Penal 
Code‘of Prussia.’’ This allusion was received with almost 
frantic applause by the audience. The Commissary of 
Police, however, construed it into an offence against the 
Government,'and had M. Seraucturitz arrested, and stopped | 
the continuance of the opera. The ill-judged joke of the 
actor will cause his appearance in a different character 
before an audience of the Correctional Tribunal. 
Russta.—The French Ministerial papers publish a 
letter from St, Petersburgh of the 20th ult., stating that 
Prince Dolgorouki, the author of a pamphlet on the 
Russian nobility, which we noticed at the time, and which 
gave offence to the Emperor, had been arrested imme- 
diately on his arrival at Cronstadt, and placed in solitary 
confinement. After a month’s detention in the house 
of the chief of police, the Prince having said nothing in 
his book nor in his interrogatories to justify a prosecution 
for libel, the Emperor offered him permission to enter the 
military service. The Prince having declined to accept 
an employment contrary to his taste and literary occupa- 
tions, the Emperor caused him to be transported to 
Wiatka, on the confines of Siberia, where he is to remain 
under the surveillance of the police.—According to the 
last census of the Russian empire, the total number of 
inhabitants who can write and read was 4,167,995, or the 
proportion to the whole population as one to twelve. 
Turxey.—Advices have reached Vienna from the 
Servian frontier, bringing the news of the re-election of the 
Prince Alexander Kara Georgewitsch as Sovereign of 
Servia, on the 27th ult. The only difference between this 
election and that of last September consists in the presence 
of Baron Lieven, the Russian Commissioner, the Russian 
Consul, and Hafiz Pasha, at the election now concluded. 
Unrrep Srates.—By the arrival of the Rochester and 
England packet ships, we have accounts from New York 
to the 20th ult. The annual celebration at Bunker’s Hill, 
which took place this year with more than ordinary splen- 
dour, is recorded in the papers at great length. The 
presence of President Tyler gave it a very imposing cha- 
racter. The papers contain the report of a speech 
aigcc by Mr. Webster at the demonstration, in which 
the ex-Secretary of State treats largely of the state of 
public affairs. ‘The topics touched upon are chiefly of a 
domestic character, and the address altogether, possesses, 
comparatively, little interest for English readers. The 
Canada papers contain an account of an outrage committed 
by the labourers on the Beauharnois Canal, who had 
struck for higher wages. They entered the house of the 
contractor, and while he was in bed attacked him and 
fractured his skull. A detachment of soldiers was soon 
on the spot, the Riot Act was read, the soldiers fired, 
several of the mob were killed, and the remainder dis- 
persed. The malcontents had fled in great numbers 
into the wood, where the soldiers were preparing to 
attack them.

Rous said that Catholic emancipation was but an instalment—the 
rest must be paid sooner or later. The state of the Protestant 
Church was are a revenue of half a million for 70,000 Pro- 
testants, and which was paid for the support of clergymen, many of 
whom had 1,502. a year for taking care of twenty-five parishioners.
