Mr. STAFFORD said the statement was correct, as also th e fiscally named. There was no reset-martial, the reason heinu that it was not usual to have a eourt-martial in the c use of ships run aground, except in CUP of very serious bttatv. Twit ship*, the Arrogant and th e V engeance, rrsprctisely for Cadiz and Oihsalter, had since been run ashore : but to neitb,r ease had a enurt-murtial been held.

The 8 them read the meanie, which wee nearly ae follows: " Vivat Regina. Her Majesty, desirous of marking is the mo•t solemn m her sense of the pre-eminent ser vices of the late Field Marshal Duke of Wellington, end of affording to her subjects an opportunity of testifying their veneration fur his memory, and their sorrow for the lose the country hue sustained by his death, has directed measures to be Liken, at the earliest possible period, for the public interment of his Grace's remains in the cathedral church cf St. l'sul. " Iler Majesty is penuaded that in taking this step she has only anticipated the general wishes of parliament and of the country, and that they will afford all requisite aid and their cordial mineurrence in giving to the mournful spectacle the degree of solemnity which is worthy of the country and the occasion. Hiss Majesty relies upon the liberality of her faithful' Commons to make suitable provision for the due dilate's, of this 'lebt of public gratitude and tribute of asthma sorrow."

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Perhaps the bona will sense me if I also take this opportunity of referring to a subject which was mentioned yesterday, and state that it is my intention, on the 26th instant, to lay before the house those alterations in our system of motion which we think the change in our eanmential system renders Deanery. Of course, if any motion is brought for ward in the meantime which I feel is of an unfair chancier, and calculated to prevent my making that statement, I shall reserve to myself, on the part of the government, the right of taking each course as I may think necessary.

Lord PALMERSTON said he rem for the gown of calling attention to that paragraph of the vege[epereh whieh referred to the cooperation of the severement of Brazil in the suppression of the slave trade, mad the omis sion of all allusion to any similar cooperation on the part of Spain to put down that traffic in Cuba. lie was afraid that this omiiieion was but too siguifleant, considering that he had +tin :lately in the newspapers that several ou t goes of slaws had been landed in Cuba. (Hear.) It was cer tainly without excuse that such infractions of the treaty were continued on the pert of Spain. He was afraid that there were influences in Madrid and also pecuniary indu ene,s in Cuba, which induced the government of Spain to I forget her treaty obligations and the performance of her duty in this important matter. It exposed Spain to the imputation—whether well found" or not he did not know —that she made it a part of her policy, with a view to the retention of Cube, to increase the black populatioh of the island in order that the fear of tho whites might increase with such alimentation of the coloured population, and to make them cling the more closely to the mother country. He trusted that no such intention could be justly attributed to the government of Spain. His object in rising at the pre sent time was to any that he wished to have a return of the number of slaves landed in Cuba and Brazil front 1851 to the Idea penod in 1852 up to which information had been received. Ile imagined the government would not object to the production of this return, whieh would show in what degree the Spanish and Brazilian governments had re spectively adhered to their engagements. (11ear, hear.) Mr. MAOAN said that he rose for the purpose of more clearly kuowing from the noble lord the member for Cole raine (Lord Naas) what was meant by the words spirit of ' insith irdinatho and turbulence" in the paragraph relating to Ir. laud. lie understood the right hon. gentleman the Attorney-Otneral to say that they referred to past turbu lence and in'utionlinstion ; but as the present teuce was used, he ahnald like to know in that plain longinge for which the members of the present government were eel*. • bread what was the reel messing et the words.

(Hest, hem) But what /re roes for on the present coopellon silo to pat a tamation to the right hon. gentleman (Sir J.

(Hear, hem() The Casadias parliament had decided that this question of the clergy reserve fund was the entirely for thsir,oonsideration, and set for the imperial government, provided that the thasesets of the preset holders were seesuad. He (Lord J. Russell) could not conceive that either the crown or the people of this country had the smallest interest or wish to prevent the settlement of the question whieh wasso important to the people of Canada. (Meer, hoer.) The right hon. gentleman had written a dseteh as the subject, which it appeared had gone mon into the subject then it was necessary to do, but on that he did not with to make any further teraark. But the new parliament of Canada had decided by, he thought, a ma jority ofiSi to 22, that they alone should have the power of dealing with this question. Under these circumstances he hoped the government would not object to introduce • measure in • short time which would enable the parliament and the governmait of Canada to deal with the question. No notice having been taken of the matter in the royal speech, he wished to know if the government had taken it into their consideration. (Rear, hear.) Sir J.

Her 114•47 bed visited that pert of her dominions, and be did set hesitate to say that she wee remind by her Irish Womb as a manner in which she had been received in lib estantry, notwithstanding the attaehment of the of this country to her person and family. (Hear, War.) He wished to know distinctly from the right hon. geademen, what the intentions of the government were with !apart to Ireland, before the motion of the hon. mem ber be Wolverhampton was brought forward. He wished to know whether the government proposed to bring for ward any coercive measures for Ireland, or any mewing which would restrict the civil or religious liberties of the Irish people. (Hear, hear.) . . Mr. WALPOLE said that as he had been so pointedly referred to by the hon. end learned gentleman, he felt bound to return an answer to the question put to him. The question wee whether the government intended to bring forward ary mesaure to repress turbulence and insubordi nation in Ireland. His reply was that they would not. That ho hoped was • distinct answer to tl•is bon. and learned gentleman. Every person must be aware that one of the last things which the government found it necessary to do last year was to renew the bill for proclaiming certain districts in Ireland. It would be necessary to continue the application of that act in certain counties, but he was happy to find that the liberal policy alluded to in the para graph, and more pointedly alluded to he begged to remark than the state of turbulence and insubordination, might render it unnecessary to apply to Ireland those measures that peculiarly affected her in consequence of the turbu lence and insubordination which prevailed in that country. (Hear.) He might say generally that there was no inten tion of any rort or kind which could be considered contrary to • generous and liberal policy taken in the largest smite so applicable to Ireland. (Hear, hear.) He might men tion, as amongst the measures which the gov e r nmen t in tended to introduce, that there was one for placing the relations between landlord and tenant on a more satisfactory basis, which would include a provision on that much vezed question which was so anxiously looked forward to in Ireland—namely, the allowing of compensation for ultra boosted improvemt ate. (Hear, hear.) The government would adopt a large, liberal, and generous policy towards Ireland ; and ho hoped their intentions would be responded to in a corresponding spirit by the people of Ireland. (Hear, beer.) The report on the address was then agreed to. On the motion that the house at its rising do adjourn to Monday next, Mr. FIUME said he wished to know what business wu to be promoted with on Monday. FV .

THE contributions made to the QUEEN'S Speech by the noble HECRETARY for FOREIGN AFFAIRS arc quite as clumsy and ungrammatical in language,— just as unscrupulous in ststements,—and as poverty stricken in subjects, as those of any of his colleagues. It is sot of France, of Germany, of Italy, of the North of Europe,—or even of Turkey, left without the aid and assistance of an English representative, —that our Matutseune can speak. It is not in the countries that surround us, or in the dominions of our nearest allies, that he can find any crumbs of comfort, or pick up any scraps of congratulation. Of what he had d o n e in Italy; of the steps he is taking to support constitutional go vernment in Sardinia; of the assistance ho is afford ing to Belgium in its crisis of independent exist ence; of the great and mighty changes impending in France; of the bitter disposition of Austria towards England; of any prospect of Spain return ing to parliamentary government ; of the hopes of freedom generally in Europe—not on all, or any one, of these topics has this great statesman a word to say. On the real and imminent dangers here in our own hemisphere, and of his policy to avert them ) he is ominously dumb. But crossing the Atlantic for topics, he becomes as glib of tongue as he is maladroit in expression. Ills tri umphs are in the New, not in the Old, World. Like another CANNING, he searches in South America for the consolation he cannot find in Europe. But how unlike that great man in the frankness and truthful. ness of his statements, the generosity of his senti ments, and the skilfulness of hie tactics. Credit Lord MAL/IFABURT in the Royal Speech, and it might be believed that the special mission he sent out to the Argentine Confederation had some thing to do with the opening out to the navigation of W world the rivers which, according to him, afford amen "to the interior of the vast continent of South America ;"—u if the Platine countries constituted the whole of the interior of that continent. The reverse is the case. Sir CHARLES HOTIZAK had no more to do with the decree of the 28th August last than with the storm now raging around us. The policy of that decree had been resolved upon months before Sir CHARLES'S arrival in the Plate; its text had been ppared before he presented his credentials to U re RQUIZA ; and it was issued ere he had had an official interview on business with that chief. If any foreign power deserve credit on the subject it is the Government of Brazil, whose counsel URQUIZA sought, and whose advice was to throw open these riven;—for the purpose, amongst other reasons, of avoiding the plague and worry of the approaching mission which Lord histisesettae was sending out. Equally unjustifiable, but far more mischievous, are the statements Lord MALMESBURY has inserted as to Brazil. During all the phases and the discus sions on the Slave Trade, former English Cabinets, even when pursuing hostile measures, have always endeavoured to be courteous and agreeable in Speeches from the Throne towards the countries which suffered from those measures. Lord MALDIES BURY regards neither truth nor civility; for on announcing a change of measures agreeable to Brazil, ho misleads the Parliament of England, and he insults the Governm ent of Brazil. Plain men reading the pusage of the speech in which the QUEEN is made to say, "I have the satis faction of announcing to you that the sincere and zealous effort. of the Government of Brazil for the suppression of the Slave Trade, now nearly extin guished on that coast, have enabled me to suspend the stringent measures which I had been compelled reluctantly to adopt "—would naturally infer that it was since the dissolution of the last Parliament these measures had been suspended. Nothing of the sort. The violent orders were recalled by Lord MALMEBBURY as long ago as the month of April; and the proper time for their announcement (if requiring any notice at all from the Throne) was in the speech with which the QUEEN prorogued the last session—certainly not in the speech by which she opened the present one. And why . was the announce ment thus delayed ? The motive is obvious; and as mesa as obvious. The government feared that any such announcement would excite the fears of the old anti-slavery party, and rouse them to opposition duriog the general election ; hence its postponement until the new Parliament, when it is scurvily made to do duty as if it were only a recent fact. Mark, too, the ill-judged impolitic, indecent menace and threat which Lord MALMESBURY has typended to this statement that the sincere and zealous efforts of Brazil have nearly extinguished the slave trade on its costa. They have enabled the British Government, he says, to suspend the stringent measures reluctantly adopted, "a recurrence to which I anxiously hope may be proved to be unnecessary." This, surely, is not the way to encourage the Government and people of Brazil to persevere in the new and higher career on which they have entered. This is not the style in which the Sovereign of one State ought to be made to speak of a nation quite as independent. First, it is insinuated that the sincere and zealous efforts of Bruit were the result and consequence of our , stringent measures,—than which nothing can be more untrue; and then Brazil is openly threatened with a revival of those stringent measures whenever it suits the wisdom of a MALMEBBURY, or the prudence of a DERBY, tO recur to violence on its coasts. . . Considering the still unsettled state of our com mercial relations with Brazil, our third best foreign customer, this is really the very height and insolence of indiscretion. Brazil has, it is confessed, nearly suppressed the slave trade; she has, by her measures and arms, released the Argentine Confederation from the tyranny, cruelty, and isolation of RosAs ; oho has by her advice to littutazA procured for mankind the free navigation of the great highways to tho centre and Pacific shores of South America; and now, when what England above all things requires from Brazil is a treaty of commerce and navigation which shallgive security and permanence to our trading relations with that great empire, Lord M 41.111:SHURE clumsily and michiev ously puts into the QUEEN'S mouth a menace of fu ture violence. Folly and stupidity can hardly go further. Leaving in this bullying manner the former colony of Portugal, he turns to our ancient Iberian ally itself; and thence lugs into the QUEEN'S Speech the fact that the discriminating duties ou the export of wine have been reduced : a fact of some little im portance no doubt in Mark-lane, but wholly un worthy of notice in a Royal Address from the Throne. We have no wish to undervalue the recent Portuguese decrees, but to say that they were produced by Lord MALMESRITRY'S diplomacy or interference is simply ridiculous. 'the old discriminating duties on the export of wino to Europe as compared with its exports to other parts of the world, and tho old absurd regulations which classified the various sorts of port wine, were repealed by the Government of Portugal entirely on domestic grounds. The higher duty on the export to Europe diminished consumption ; and the classifi cation led to endless frauds; and these were tits grounds, not any remonstrances of Lord MAULER BURY, that induced the Cabinet of Lisbon to make those changes which our FOREIGN SECRETARY, like Dansis of old, claims as my thunder." Lord Ntsuentim mast know that the country is not to be reconciled to his administration of its foreign affairaby ouch fudges and braggadocios as these. Even if true, they would in a national point of view amount to nothing. But, being unfounded, these announcements in Royal Speeches can only show how miscrablo the administration of our external relations must be when, in this crisis of the world's history, it relies for fame on port wine ! It is of Italy, of Belgium, of France, and of Turkey, we are thinking whilst Lord MALMESUURY thus borate about the Itiver Plate and I'urtugal ; and of his sayings and doings in France and Turkey during the rceeos, we must quickly know something now that Parlia ment has met. TUE police " Orders and Regulations to bo ob served within the City of London, on the occasion of the ceremony of the funeral of Field Marshal ARTHUR Duke of WELLINGTON," seem to hare been arranged with an eye to inflict the greatest amount of inconvenience upon the public, without affording sufficient counterbalancing good. On the day in question—as will be seen by the order published in our advertising columns yesterday—Mr.D.WHlTTLE HARVEY proposes to govern a large portion of the City and its suburbs as absolutely as any continental despot governs a town under martial law. London is, in fact, to be on that day in a state of sieges The barriers at the Southwark and London Bridges, at Temple-bar, Chancery-lane, Holborn-bars, and all other streets running northwards, from thence to Finsbury Pertinent, and all streets from the eastward giving access to Moorgate-street, Princes-street, King William street, and Upper Thames-street, will be closed at half-past six in the morning, and no carriages will be permitted to eater or remain in any of the streets enclosed within the said barrier atter that hour, unless provided with a ticket for the Cathedral. It is not very easy to describe accurately the effect of these regulations, inasmuch es they are not re markably well worded; but it is not difficult to see that a cordon, anything but sanitary, will be drawn rmnd a very large portion of the most important city in the world. At half.past six o'clock in the morning, all that vast part of the City will be closed against the whole nation, except such as have an introduction to the EARL MAR•IIIAL of England. Admitting the full validity of these motives which induce Englishmen to desire to be present at the solemn ceremonial in the Cathedral of St. Paul's— recognising the propriety of the enforcement of rigid regulations respecting the entry of all persons within the limits in which the funeral is conducted—it may still be a question whether a Commissioner of Police is not bound to try all methods of accomplishing his ends before he encloses a larger space than the ancient City of London within an impenetrable wall of barriers and policemen. The citizens and their visitors within this space will be blocked up for the great part of the day as securely as if they were within the walls of any metropolitan prison; whilst their friends without will be irtually as far from them as if they were all deported to Cayenne. It is hardly possible to avoid the conclusion that the funeral of the Duks of WELLINGTON is being wantonly made use of by certain authorities to favour their own ends. Ministers are using the solemnity of the occasion to throw dust in the eyes of the people. Not content with the mention in the Royal Speech, they have contrived a Royal Message to both Houses upon the subject, and the talk there anent will make a certain diversion. Mr. WsLrote. throws in his mite in the form of a proposal to pass an act of parliament for converting the day of the funeral, so far as bills of exchange are concerned, into a Sunday ; and now we have Mr. DtsitaeLfs wish to stop ad discussion on our political rights by pleading the national concern at the Dukes death, copied by a Commissioner of Police, who tells us to waive all considerations—however important—of personal convenience on the occasion of the Duke's funeral. Mr. DISRAELI ignores Free Trade, and Mr. 1). WurerLe HARVEY puts a dead stop to free motion on precisely the same grounds. Is either the one or the other necessary or endurable ? If there is any meaning to be attached to Mr. HARVEY'S City Proclamation at all, it is that, after half-past six in the morning, no person—except a chosen set—will be allowed upon any occasion, how ever pressing, either to enter into the prescribed limits or emerge from them. The lame, the halt, the maimed, the sick, are rigorously shut out or shut in, and precluded from any help that they might wish to seek beyond the boundary. They are equally deprived of the possibility of receiving any aid from such as would be willing to give it to them, if the assistance requires carriage convey ance. So much for those who wish to ride. They might as well, for the specified time, live on either side of a broad river, without bridges or boats. The foot passengers are to be subject to a mode of treat ment which at first sight appears less harsh, but which, in reality, is worse than the other; loss- I much as there is a mockery of granting per mission to enter the barriers, while the exclu sion in their case will be as abeoluto as in the neesor their carriage friends. Mr. HARVEY declares that " Inhabitants and visitors proceeding to houses in St. Paul's-churchyard, Ludgate-street, Ludgate hill, or Fleet-street, will be permitted to pass the barriers on foot, north and south of those streets, until the hour of eight a.m., upon producing a ticket to be obtained upon the apphica:ion of an inhabitant of those streets, at the Bow-street Station, Cheapside, sot later than twelve o'clock on the day previous to the funeral." If H. W. HARVEY is to take absolute possession of the City of London, the laws under which the inhabitants are made to capitulate ought certainly to be laid down in unmistakable English. The police rescript should explain,—as it certainly does not at pre sent,—whether the only day for applications is that previous to the funeral, or whether any time between now and the hour mentioned will suffice. As confining the place for applications to one station and the time to one day would make the granting of them impossible, it is charitable to give the Commis sioner the credit of meaning to order the only pos sible'course. In what condition, however, does this Lave our unfortunate foot-passengers who wish to eater the prohibited streets ? Those who are armed with a dearly-bought ticket to view the procession from some house on the line, present themselves at the barriers with their ticket and pass. They will then have to proceed on foot,—no matter how in clement the weather, no matter how great their in firmities,—on foot to their destination. Ladies deli cately clad, children, the old and weak, will all have to trudge helplessly through the guarded—and it may be slushy—streets. These, however, are the lucky ones. These have, we suppose, reached the barrier at Temple-bar and other plates. But what of that large mass who by no possibility will ever be able to arrive at the barriers ? Remember that all progress is stopped at ono of these, say Temple-bar. Any attempt therefore to reach this on foot will necessitate a desperate struggle through the thousands who will have takers their position in the Strand before daylight. None will be able to succeed in this but the strong, the violent, and the unscrupulous. An endeavour to reach the spot is a vehicle will be nearly as hopeless ; for the enormous line of carriages would be perpe tually stopping, onaccount of the necessity of putting down. The three favoured streets, then, must neces sarily bo almost confined to the policemen appointed to guard them, unless these new regulations are corrected. This deserves the serious attention of those who have seats to let, and of those who intend to occupy seats on the line; but we have as yet made no mention of that large class who may suddenly have occasion to enter the enclosed space on matters of urgent and unexpected business. These, after having by dint of superhuman exertions made their way up to the barrier, will he kept out by the want of the required pass. Their time will have been wasted, and their business, how ever pressing, will be untransacted. Is it impossible, it must bo a s k e d, t o provide for a great public ceremony, without thus indicting a great public wrong? Is Mr. HARVEY incom petent to provide a scheme by which persons who wish, from motives of curiosity or business, to visit houses on the line of procession, may do so, without more than a moderato degree of inconvenience? If not, it would appear that his resources must bo mar vellously small. Until any better mode is proposed, we reiterate the recommendation wo have before urged, that foot passengers should be kept in con tinual motion in a direction opposite to that in which the procession moves. Let them enter the lino of procession —say at Bt. Martin's•lo Grand, and In a kept moving" down Ludgate-hill and Fleet -street to St. Clement's—or even to Apisley House, where they might file off into Hyde Park. This would give all persons in the lino an opportunity of seeing • at the sumo time, that those who ha ve occas i on t O visit houses will be enabled to accomplish their wishes. Unless some rtgulationof this kind is adopted a large proportion of those who expect to be Rp m . tators will be disappointed, whilst important busi ness must bo at a standstill. MR. CHARLES VILLIEIas FREP. TRADE IttortoN.— The following is the notice as it uppeareJ in the votes of the !Louse of Commons yesterday mornin g Mr. Charles Villiers—To move a resolution on free trade. [Tuesday, 23rd November.]' FRANCE. FRIDAY EVENING. The manifesto of the Count do Chambord has been received in Paris. It is as follows : Freuchmen,—During tie trials my country has been ex posed to I have emidsmia d inyeelf to voiuntary inaction and to silence. I could nut forgive myself if I had hir a single moment aggravated itA embarrassments and its p• :as s Separated from }ranee, it is yet dear and sacred to me, much, and more than if I had never quitted it. I twee not if it shall be allowed me some day to !serve my ceurar e , but I am very certain that it will not have to reior melt !tie with a word or an act which ran affect her prosperity and her repose. It is her hnnour as well as mine—it is regard for her future—it is my duty towards her, which induct' me to raise this day my voice. Frenchmen ! You desire monarchy ; you have admitted that it alone can render you, with a regular and tootle government, that security of all rights, that guarantee of all interests, that permanent accord of a rroug ratio. rity, and of a wise liberty which rimed and secured th e liappineie of rations. nut give yourselves up to Ulu-iris which, sooner or later, will be fatal to you. Ihe new in. pire proposed to you cannot b. that temperate and deralde monarchy who.e ben, tits you await. People are deceived, and they deceive you, when they promise them to you to its name. True monarchy, traditional monarchy, eupperted on hereditary rights and sanctioned by time can alone nut you in possession of these preeious advantages and Enable you to enjoy them for over. The Resins and the glory of Napoleon were not sufficient to Loma anything stable; his name, the memory of his acts, can still lees eo so. Security is not re-established by disturbing the principle on which the throne reposes ; and all rights are not consolidated by disregarding that which is arnone-t us the necessary basis of the monarchical order. The monarchy 111 France is the royal house of France, indissolubly united to the nation. My ancestors and yours have travers-d centuries, labouring is concert, according to the usages and the necessities of the period, in the development of oar noble country. The French, during 1,100 years, alone, amongst all the people of Europe, have alw ays h a d princes of their nation and of their blood a t th e i r h ead. The history of My ancestors is the history of th e progress sive greatness of France; and it was that monarchy which endowed her with the conquest of Algiers, no rich in future prosperity, so rich alreany by the high military reputatii hr which it has created, and the glory of which is added to all your glories. . _ _ Whatever may be the deegna of God with respect to you and to me, who have remained the chief of the ancient race of your kings the heir of that long line of nrinarchs, who, during so many centuries have increased, and caused to ho respected, the power and the fortune of France, I owe it to myself, I owe it to my family and to my country, to pro tect loudly against false and perilous amngements. I, consequently, maintain my right, which is the surest guarantee of yours, and. taking God to witness, I de. dare to France and to the world that, faithful to the laws of the kingdom, and to the tradition of my ancestors, I will religiously preserve, to my last breath, the aeposit of the hereditary monarchy of which Providence has entrusted to me the care, and which is the only port of refuge where France, the object of our love, may, after so many loorms, at length find rest and happiness. Frobtdorf, 25th October, 1.9.12. Louis Napoleon has, after all, takenup his hunting quarters at Fontainebleau. The Compiegne people will be sadly disappointed, for, until within the last four-and-twenty hours, they have been under the full impression that they were to witness the firstexpleits of the new "Grand Veneur" in a royal " Chase a Is Louis IV." The departure for Foutainebleau was ar ranged with the utmost secrecy. Yesterday after noon the President was seen on the boulevards in an open eoleeke, and four without an escort, and people supposed he was merely taking a drive. He was, however, on his way to the railway station. Horses, guns, sporting accoutre ments, whippers-in, grooms, and beaters had been sent by a special train in the morning. In the caleclie with the President were M. Achille Fould, the Duke Caumont-Laforce, a senator, and Colonel Fleury. Captain Merle, sub-prefect of the Palace, and Baron de Pierre*, second ecuycr, followed in another carriage. Although the Lyons Railway Company had received very abort notice they con trived to transform the first-class waiting-room into a saloon, fit for a royal reception. The eagle, the arms of Napoleon 111., eseutchone, and garlands de corated the four corners of the station. The engine which drew the train was also ornamented with the arms of Napoleon 111., and bore a gilt eagle in the front. On arriving at Melun the train was obliged to stop, inconsequence of an obstruction causedby an tkci dent which happened in the morning, A special train, carrying some chasseurs do Vincennes, to do duty at the Palace of Fontainbleau, had run into a truck which was inadvertently left across the rails. The train was thrown off the line, five or six soldiers were bruised, and the driver much hurt. The President inquired tho cause of the accident, and whether any one had been killed. During the halt the prefect of the Seine and Marne, and General Ferray commanding the troops of the department, got into the President's carriage to accompany him to Fontainbleau. Several of the ministers have left Paris to-day to visit the President, who is expected to stay several days at his hunting palace. I under ' stand that the wearing of the new sporting dress, comprising white buckskins and hessians, will be rigorously enforced upon all those admitted to the honour of sharing the imperial sport. The rage for gaudy dress is very great. The efforts of M. Billault originally relieved the Corps Legis latif from the obligation of sitting in their official costume. But it is now said that if they chtain the salaries of which they are desirous, it will only be upon the condition of wearing their liveries. Rumour even goes so far as to say that a costume will be imposed upon their wives. M. Montalembert has told his friends that if the Corps Legislatif is made a salaried body, he shall think that the small portion of dignity yet belonging to it is at an end, and ho will resign. M. Thiers now receives a good many of his friends on an evening, but he professes not to allow politics to be talked in his house. Letters from Turkey state that the Sultan has re ceived the proposal for receiving Abd-el-Bader at Broussa very coldly, and that he will enter into re guaranteo whatever as to his safe custody ur his conduct. _ . It appears from the monthly returns of the Bank of France that the amount of general busint , s dorm during the past month has considerably ineressed. The metallic reserve has declined about 301 inn Eons in Paris, and 6 millions in the branch banks. The discount accommodation has increased 141 millions in Paris, and 16 millions in the provinces. The advances on Freneh stock present an an;• mentation of not less than 201 millions in Paris, and 21 millions in the departments. Advances on rail way shares and bonds arc 11 millions greater in Paris, and three millions greater in the branch banks. On the side of the liabilities, the notes in circulation have increased 22: millions in Paris, and 41 in the branch banks. The ac count-current of the Treasury has increased 21 mil lions; private accounts-current have increased 12 millions in I'aris, and 1 million in the departments. The whole amount of the metallic reserve is et sent HSI millions to 6611 millions of notes in or. , culation. GERMANY. PRUSSIA. The Berlin elections for the First Chamber took place on the 10th. The BuccoNtill candidaties were Bishop Neander, and MM. Krausniek and Cuvry : Counts Itzenplitz and Solos-Barutli, and M. Stahl have been returned for the third district of thu province of Brandenburg. Letters from Konigsberg report the destruction of ten large granaries of that port by tire. The puintity of corn consumed is valued at ha a mil lion of thalers. The king has just ix rformed an act which will give especial pleasure to the Cailiolie party. In a letter to the Minister of Worship ho expressos himself in favour of tho request of the bishops for assigning the fixed, dotations of the archbishops and the churches upon the state forests, instead of leaving them to be voted every year.
