FRANCE. PARISTOISDAT EMIINO. c ai ,tsin Dueasse, as aide-de-camp of Marshal 1 i . has just written a work, entitled, " The N ib ti re Errors at M. Lomartine; or a Critical Exa- I m ope° of his History of the Beetoratioo." The t jgosit.iir informs us that the Emperor has wed to to accept a copy of this work front the hands d tlo: author, who was presented to his Imperial 1 1,j o q by King Jerome. This marked manner of 'pouncing the publication of a book, with a title go h e from complimentary to M. Lamartine, is in s/00as/ reproach to him fur aome severe strictures go the Emperor Napoleon. The book is pr baqy ithe made to order fur the Bonaparte family. But ofortanstely the brilliant writings of M. Lemartine st o pen to much animadversion upon the score of kfeorical accuracy. Ile is too apt to draw upon his f er ule imagination for his facts. For instance, in the work in question he represents Wellington at ITieerloo beandishing his sword over his head after having hail three horses killed under him, the fact k vi eg that the Duke rude but one horse throughout the battle, and never drew his sword during the eboir day. N.ltrial ot the bishops have written laborious vie ratan to their clergy, explaining the grounds upon which they conceive it desirable to offer up speeial praers upon the occasion of the establishment of Os empire. Although the language of these dam sots Is studiously hazy and ambiguous, it is easy to r neive from them that the support given to the opine by the clogy is anything but hearty and' theinditional. The circular of the Bishop a Or ono has excited particular attention as showing in '..riking light the disposition of the church to act glen its favourite maxim of . nothing for nulling." 11. urges the cletgy tome that the new government "Iv grant the church more lawns., by which he means more power. 1k does not &signior that any tlimg like support to the empire by the eicrgy can role be expected upon this condition. Bo shows Iffy clearly that the clitirch never commits itself by oiling up prayers, and referring to the not very distant time when the priests of Paris blessed trees tawny and prayed foi the prov isional government, be rebuts any Imputation of toconsistency, by ob serving that perhaps but fur the church's prayers the oh ippy republic might hare done more harm than i t did. There is no doubt that this prelate speaks the voice of Rome, inspired not perhaps by the Pope, trbo is almost a nonentity, but by the cardinals. Th e y know that it is a darling object with the Fm rue to bring the lope to Paris to crown him, and they hope to secure a concordat as the price of this spikesoloa. It is impossible to say what may come /Phis There is no love lost between the parties, sad 'het are thoroughly alive to each other's designs. L ow N 4p g ro n knows the value of the church as an instrunitut of government, but he has no idea of letting it get too strong for him; and following the timhtions of his uncle, it is probable that lie will play the Pope an ugly trick before long.

BRUSSELS, TUTAIDAT ETZNING The fourth section or committee of the Chamber of Representatives has unanimously approved of the lately concluded provisional treaty of commerce with Frau*. The second section has authorised its rap parlour to urge the central section to rcluest of the government to flx a period for the di finitive revision of the commercial treaty of 180 with France. The debate on the budget of public instruction was resumed this afternoon in the above chamber. M. Verhaegen, one of the founders of Belgian ne timidity, contended that as there was no dominant religion, no religion of the state in Belgium, the schools supported out of the public money should not be made nurseries of proselytism for the Roman catholic clergy. It had been said that there were only some sixteen thousand protestant. in Belgium. That did not alter the case. The constitution gave full liberty of public worship and of instruction, and the heads of protestant families had the right to demand that their children should not be tampered with in their religious belief. The clergy, before they would ament to give religious jut:vadat' in the kasha/ oisele. demanded kcal guarantee,.

THB DERBY ELECTION INQUIRY. The committee, coosisting of Mr. Ooulhurn (chair man), Lord Barrington, Lord 11. Vise., Sir W. Melee worth, arid Mr. Deeds, re-assembled yesterday at 11. The committer, as usual, sat with closed doors. The first witness exacruind was Mr. Cog, on. of the brothers of Mr. G. R. Cox, of Derby, who stated in his evidence the other day that be bad had no connexion with any money transactions at Derby, at the last election ; nor had be bad any such transactions at the election in 1/148. He had read the evidence given before the committee by the other witnesses. There was in that evidence so much of truth intermixed with fle'ion, that it was very difficult to identify either, or to separate one from the other. The circumstance narrated as to Radford's connexion with his (witness's) brother and the land at Spondon was true to a certain extent. Radford was in debted to one of the Derby banks in 1,7001., and the batik of which witness's brother was a director paid the amount elf, and took the deeds that he had deposited as security. Wanes/ea brother had bought the Soondon land of Radford, and paid off Radford's balance to the bank out of the purchase money. Before he came up to give his evidence to the committee he bad made inquiry of Radford and of liir brother if they were coguisaut of any irregular proceedings at the last election, and they both assured him they wire not. Thomas Lund, cattle desk'', living at Berwick-on•Tweed, was next called and examined. He deposed that he was in the habit or visiting the Derby market every week with cattle, end at first denied all knowledge of anything con nected with the last election, but subsequently admitted that he was at the County Tavern on the day of the nomi. nation; that he took with him th ere a parcel, which he de 'united in a room on the left-hand side, and in the room a loan was sitting. The witness was dressed on tilt occasion in " a light :alpaca coat." The parcel in gees. tion was given to him at Messrs. Co,.' lead works by Mr. W. H. Cox himself. Radford told him to go fur It, where to get it, and to whom to give it. Radford told him the room he was to place it In, and that he would see an individual sitting there. On the following morning he (Lund) took a second parcel similar to the first, which he had also given him at Mama. Col's, and !tom Mr. Cox himself again. These parcels were heavy parcels. He believed they coatained money, hot he could not tell how much. The second parcel felt "papery," being probably bank-notes. He took the second parcel on the morning of the polling day from the back yard into a room up stairs, and deposited it in the room where Morgan was toned. Morgan was here called in, and a curious torso of non- recognition ensued. Lund we. asked to identify Morgan, but could not succeed in doing so; neither could Morgan idtotify Lund, in spite of a c l ose p ersona l scrut i ny. Frail, who, it is alleged, labours under scrofula in the legs, came into the committee-room upon crutches, and oc cupied two chairs during his examination. He stated that be had been a hairdresser st Shrewsbury, but was now sn electioneering agent, and clerk of the course at Shrewsbury. He received the " NV. B." letter in a parcel at 9 o'clock on the night of Monday, July 5. He read it, and immediately seat for Morgan, and told him he must go to Derby. He gave Morgan 21., and M organ f ort h w i t h went. Told Mor gan to act in accordance with the instructions contained in the " V/.11." letter. These directions were all that he (witness) knew upon the matter, and he knew no snore of the transaction. He bad sines had a correspondence with Major Beresford, and had seen the major twice. When Morgan came be. k from Derby after the election, he told witness that he had had money brought to hiss "at twice," and Morgan described to him what had occurred. Morgan described the man in the " il paea coat," who had given him the money, and i l he (witness) immediately thought that it was Flewker, and mentioned his suspicion. to Mr. Gordon, Mergan's attorney. If Morgan had stated that he had told him (witness) anything about these transactions earlier than two days ego, Morgan had not told the truth, and was mistaken ; for it was at least seven weeks ago. The witness refused to answer any questions as to his connexion with election affairs or bribery at Shrewsbury. The committee support, d the witniws's objection, except. fog in so far ea Major Beresford might have been concerned in it. The witness then went on to detail his connexion gene rally with elections, Major Beresford and the Carlton, cor roborating what has already appeared with respeet to his participation and employment in those matters. The committee having declared the case cloud, ad journed to this day, at 11 o'clock, to deliberate on their de cision.

From the peculiar nature of th.. humour... transacted, requiring the clueist legal investi gation into every security offered, a considerable length of time must necessarily elapse before the completion of any loan ; but the directors repart on the sound and solid tins meter of the ruvestments already effected. The second payments of interest upon the curlier loans have been made with the utmost punctuality; and the hosed have received the gretifying assurance (rum their commissioner., that in moat cases the money advanced Me been of the greatest service to the borrowers, in enabling them to complete improvements for which their own capital was insufficient.' On the receipt of intelligence of the great fire at bluntreal, the board conceived that an iuleanee of money might be made by them towards rebuilding the city, ender some arrangement with the municipality and provincial govern ment, so as at once to contribute to the relief of the inhabi tants, and at the same time to furnish a secure investment to the coinpsny. They accordingly gave instructions to their commissioners to epee communications with the view to making such a loan at a reduced rate of interest. A bill, with this object, has been brought forward by the provincial government, end ponied Py the legialeture. Ne gotiations for acting on this bill are now pending between the company's oonuatisaioners and the corporation of Mon treal. Steps have been taken towards organising an ex tension of business to Lower Canada, where the directors believe there is a large field open for the Company's opera trona. The directors, in the exercise of the powers granted them by the extraordinary general meeting of sharchnhiers, held March 10, 1862, have .borrowed the sum of 117,20 W. sterling, and the company's debenture bonus have been issued to that ansuant. The abstract of expenses is Canada and London showed • sum of 2,6591. 12.. 4d. The CHAIRMAN having moved the adoption of the report, the deputy.chairman (Me. William Chapman) made some general remarks on the position of the company and its fu ture prospects. lie coaaidered that the company was in a most satisfactory condition : and though the directors had had some anxiety with respect to the effect which the re cent gold discoveries might have upon the chances of the company, they hart come to the conclusion that the exten sion of general capital would only develop the dream stunts tit Canada, and lead to further demands for capital for the purpose of effecting improvements. He proceeded to reed the foilowiug extracts, illustratiug this point, from the report of the Canadian commissioners of the company: We believe that every fresh importation of capita leads to a further development of the natural resources of the country, sad gives rise to the extension of the demand for capital to profit by such developments. Such has hitherto been the case in every state of the American anion, whose circumstances are very similar to those of the province. The people of the United States are still largeb.rrowers ia Europe, both for public and individual enterprise ; and so, it is obvious, it mast be here, for many years to come. It hue recently been ascertained by the provincial government, that the owners of land in Upper Canada amount to 99,810 persona, and that the land held by them amounts to 9,823,233 acres, viz:— Under crop in 1851 Und r pasture in 1841 Under gardens and orchards 56,489 acres 3,694,724 acne Under wood 6,128,509 acres 9.923,233 acres Of this large number of landholders little more than Ave hundred have as yet been accommodated with loans by this company, while probably the forms, on which there isno room tor the adventsgeons employment of capital in new clearings, or Unproved buildings, fe..eing, and drainage, barely equal one hundred. The la n d s un d er cu l t i vat i on, in Upper Canada, in 1841, scarcely amounted to two millions of acres. It appears that they now exceed three millions and a half. In 1841 the population of the section of the province amounted to 485,367 persons. In 1851, it amounted to 952,001, being an increase in ten years of about one hundred par cent. Great as this increase in the population awl the area of cultivated land, the improve ment in the general condition of the people is relation to the necessaries, comforts, and even luxuries of life is still greater. With that improvement, new wants have been created, a tests for better and more tromplite buildings has beta diffused, and a demand fur still further improvements of every description pervades the whole province." The report was then received and adopted. The dividend recommended was then declared. The meeting having been made special, the following re , solution was proposed and carried : " That the directors are hereby authorised and directed to borrow the sum of 226,0001, upon the annuity of the Debenture Bonds of the company, in accordance with the 41st clause of the act of the Parliament of Canada, Vic. 7th."

It secures, as has been before stated, the succession in the lino of the Princes of the House of Bavaria, who will ascend the throne with full right, having previously accepted the Greek religion, according to the constitution. In the event of a minority of the succession to the throne the Queen will assume the regency.

By the India and China Overland ?dell late intel ligence has been received from the diggings. The yield of gold appears to be greater than ever, and new and valuable discoveries of auriferous deposits have been made. To begin, then, with the VICTORIA DIGGINGS. Accounts from Melbourne to September 7 contain astounding details of the prodigious yield of the gold fields, exceeding all previous advice., notwithstand ing operating were in a great measure restricted owing to the prevalence of heavy rains. The annual yield amounted to the enormous sum of ten millions sterling, and this, it was confidently expected, would be doubled or even trebled for tho year ending Sep. tembcr, 1853. At present the only limit to the yield is the number of diggers, who are wholly Inadequate to develop the wonderful resources of the colony. During the month of August the weekly arrivals of the precious metal at Melbourne averaged 30,000 ounces, and the beginning of September opened a fair prospect of this pro- ' amount being doubled, as thousands of miners were arriving or on their way from all quarters of the globe. Even California itself was seeding its I surplus population to the Virtoria diggings, and the supplies of labour from this source were of the most outrageous description, introducing crime and spread ing abroad general feelings of alarm. In the broad light of day, in the centre of the city of Melbourne, the mast barefaced and violent robberies were com mitted. Life and property were so insecure that the colonists were justly alarmed, and have memorialised the home authorities to send out troops forthwith, the cost of which theyingist upon paying, including money. Their arrival will be earnestly ro1:17:3for as the only panacea for the evils which at present threaten to overwhelm the colony. NEW SOUTH WALES. We turn our attention to the gold fields in the ne'ghbourhood of Sydney, which have bean worked longer, but with less seems, than these of the neigh bouring colony of Victoria. But although less ex tensive, the gold fields of this colony have not been, less valuable or lees productive than the neighbour. ing province. The knowledge we now possess of the extent of these gold fields shows that the gold is widely distributed, extending from the Port Phillip , frontier to the southward and streching northwards as far as the recently discovered diggings of Singers, a distance of about 400 miles, with a breadth of 150 u2iles, or an entire area of about 60,000 square miles. With so vast an expanse before us, it is useless to entertain any doubt as to the vim pro duce which this gold track must sooner or later yield. Since the date or our former advices a new field has been discovered at Singers, which promises a brilliant out-turn of treasure. This most recently discovered auriferous district is situated at the head of Courarvoera Creek, which is a tributary of the Owydir. The gold deposits of Bingen are described as very rich, and in every probability ex tensive. With the more handful of miners at work the yield has been remarkable, and individual in stances of success have occurred at merely aneface digging, almost rivalling the palmy days se the Term. It is, however,impoesible to conceal the fact that the New South Wales diggings are being deserted for those of Victoria. The labourers were being swept away by torrents, and operations In many places were suspended. These floods had occurred so soon after each other as to depress the mined minds, whose labours were unrequited, and them selves cheated of the reward. The chief seat of these disasters, Tarim, has been deserted ; the dig gers at Braidwood have followed the example, and migrated to Port Phillip.
