EVERT snail from Australia now tells about abundance of gold and scarcity of labour. What everybody is saying about emigration to that country, may be vory sound. It may bo very true, that the government is doing little or nothing, when it might be doing a great deal. It may be as lamentable as everybody says it is, that bishops in that land should be grooming their own horses, and go vernors blacking their own .hoes, and swine be eat ing good wheat, and sheep be boiled down for tallim by the million, while here men are lounging ia work house yards. These sayings and n arratimpimay be as sound, true, and lamentable us pos.sible. But utile gene ral behaviour under them sound and true ? or is it lamentable? Is not everybody leaving the matter to the government? Are we satisfied with complain ing of the government? or are we helping the government ? Or, supposing we can do nothing more, are we embarrassing the government? When' the late Lord GRET came into power, the delighted dissenters, at au annual meeting, protested against urging a just claim, on the ground that they must not embarrass the government; whereupon a sensible and sufficiently loyal preacher rose, and said ho never knew anvthing to be obtained from a new ministry but by embarrassing the government. The assembly laughed; ember. I reseed the government, to the great satisfaction ! of the ministers theme' Ives. anti obtained what they wanted. Let it be supposed now that the government would enjoy being einbarrmsed about helping to send 100,001) people to Port Phillip;— embarrassed or helped; fur the same action on tho part of good people is needed for the one and tho other purpose. Let it be tried whether the matter should be left to the national rulers altogether. Let it be seen whether such a mass of evidence cannot be obtained in every district, and rolled to the feet of the government, with such an energy of desire, and such a chorus of petition and remonstrance, as that it shall become the task of the day to bring Australia close alongside our island, and anchor them so firmly within hail of each other, that the bishop may beckon to his groom to come and tend his horse; and the governor may whistle for a juvenile red-jacketed shoe-black out of the parks: and our sportsmen sit down to dine on kangaroo tail; and our needle women make curtains for homes in .the Bush, and our ploughboys get so much knowledge of the flavour of beef as may be obtained thrombi rations of 101 be. each of prime meat per week.

The west-end of Paris swarms with the faces, male and female, of the Ars inem'aires, who are clamor ously demanding in all directions tickets foe the stands of the Champ-do-Mars, whence to behold at min the distribution of eagles on the 10th. The eager competition of these affluent crowds has proved quite a fortune to those speculators who have seats to dispose of, mid the premium on these pasteboard wares is at this period so enormous that 60 and 60 francs are freely asked and given for a pink or green passport to the great ceremony. This morning such was the crowd of passengers from over the Channel, that a teleg-aphic despatch was received here from Calais announcing that the train would be re tarded by an hour and a half in its arrival, a pro phecy which was verified in the result. One of the papers, which published this morning a bare list of measures which were submitted to the Conseil d'Etat, is said to have received a warning from the Minister of Police, that the sittings of the Conseil d'Etat are secret, and not lawful for the raps to reveal. According to this report, M. de ?Asepsis continues still to constitute himself an inter terpreter of the laws. I learn from a good source that • majority of the ministers, who met in a cabinet council yesterday to consider M. do Maupas's sally against the press, have expressed their opinion that tho Minister of Police has erroneously interpreted the law. The Moniteur contains the official promulgation of the Copper Coinage Bill, passed by the Corps Legis latif and unopposed by the Senate. This is the first law promulgated since the constitution aims into operation. By a decree of the Minister of Public Instruction, dated yesterday, M. Villemain and M. Cassia have been named honorary Professors of the fasslty of Letters.

The I'luton, steamer, left Toulon on the 4th with 312 political prisoners for Algeria, among whom is M. /drat, ex-representative of the National As sembly. The latest refusals of the oath include the names of X. Decues, fonnerly grand referendary of the House at Peas ; Councillor-General of the Gironde, M. Mode, a member of the provisional government; Cessonlor-General of the Yonne, M.

A meeting has taken Wee lately in the house of one of the -ers of the legitimist party, at which the question of the oath was warmly discussed. M. Berryer took the lead in advocating the refusaL His view was supported by MM. Benoist d'Azy, Chapot and do Banal°. MM. de Noailles, de Pastoral and de Val my, were of a contrary opinion. M. de Fathom wee absent, but a long letter from him was read. is which he recommended his friends, in avery preariag manner, aot to shrink from the oath, to keep the places they had, and to get others if possible, so as to be in a position to take advantage of any tarn el events. M. de Falloux's policy obtained the lobs of the majority of the meeting, and it was noliVel that letters should be written to all the to request the legitimists not to fink seats is the councils-general and asenisigai boards.

SUNDAY EVIUMIO. The DAats contains an article calculated to damp the enthusiasm of those who accept literally the flourishing account of the returns of the public, re venue for April, as given without details in the Monitear. The Archbishop of Paris has addreseed to his clergy and the faithful of his diocese a second pas letter " to develop and confirm the decree at the Council of Paris against the errors which overturn the foundations of justice and charity." A " communique " in the Moisiteur announces that the President will leave the Tuileries to-morrow on horseback, at a quarter to 12, and will proceed to the Champs de Mars. Besides his military household he will be followed by Prince Jerome, the minister at War, the marshals of France and their aidewele camp, and such general offieers as may have re ceived written invitations. No other of will be allowed to join the cortege. The minister at war has taken 300 Owes, from this evening to Wednesday inclusively, for the non commissioned officers and soldiers composing the deputations now in Paris, at each of the following theatres: The National Opera, the Old Cirque, and Franoorg's Circus is the THE EXPRESS, .MONDAY Champs Elyseen The fireworks have beam pat cffi t =btate . gr immev r r il .

Many chiefs of Oran and Algiers felt jealous of the larger number of invi tations that were given to the province of Constan tine, and they have set out at their own charge to see the son of Sultan Kebir; for they suppose Louis Napoleon to be the eon of the Kebir, or great Sultan "Boueabarde," whose marvellous exploits in occupy _s large space in their traditions. Egyptt may believe a current story, ono of the servants of the Agha of Oran, when sent for by his master the other day continued coolly smoking his pipe in the court-yard of the Hotel des Princes, saying he would go when convenient to himself, for ho was now in a free country. The Agha came down stairs in great wrath, and was proceed ing to inflict 100 blows with a stick on the refrac tory domestic, when M. Privet, the landlord, ex plained to him that this chastisement could not be permitted. The Agha wears by the prophet that the dog shall receive the full measure of punishment when he returns to Oran. There will probably be woful disappointments about tiekets to-morrow. No minister, deputy, senator, or fimotionkry of any kind is contented with the number allotted to him. M. Persigny proposed to give M. Duces 30. The Minister of bisrine said he had made promises to at least 100 officers of rank, besides his own official subordinates, and that he must have at least 200. The neighbourhood of the Champs do Mars will, allittlisos, be so crammed by the multitude, who will tab up their positions at four in the morning, or even seer-night, that there will be little chance for any bee ardent sight-seer thaw c:a vow true Parisian to get a peep at thedell . howevenaway timid people will, kespeder oat thews u possible.

It is supposed that many small would be tempted by the prospect of en imam d base to make the exchange. The rdera of annuities is not unknown in t Franey, . 1 may years none have been issued. In time, out of 207 millions of francs, which was the interest of the public debt at the moment of the revolution, 81 millions were ap plicable to the payment of life annuities. In his va luation of the principal of the debt, Necker only ma tiplied the life annuities by 11, while he multiplied the perpetual annuities by 20. It was subsequently found by ' died the state had made a losing bargain with the public. The annuitants lived longer than was expected. The tables of mortality were then incomplete and inaccurate. Tho calculations wan moreover, hued upon the general average of hulas life, without taking into account that fund holders are, for the most part, a class of people in imperatively easy circumstances, among whom the grease dandle of life is greater than in the mass dile Ispantioa. It is not anticipated that similar way if adonlation will now occur.

MADRID, MAT 3. The Gazette of to-day contains a decree, counter signed by the Minister of War, ordering, that whereas her Majesty had intended. in honour of the birth of the Princes@ of Asturias, to re-establish the pensions formerly allowed to the knights of the military order of Saint Hermenegeldo, ands measure upon which the supreme tribunal of war had re ported favourably, the government, considering that the present state of the public treasure will not allow of the payment of all the pensions, but that it is expedient to attend in some degree to the reward initoselthe long and constant services of the veteran o of the army, have directed that 60 yearly pensions of 6,000 role, 160 of 2,760 reale, and 270 of 1,600 shall be established: the first for grand crosses, the second for crosses with clasps, and the third for simple crosses. These pensions are not to be rol, MAY 10, 1852., soldeet to ally discount, and are to be given by order stossiqvity iq persons who have held the erases at least 10 years. Another decree annuls the royal ordeal ef December, by which the pay of came of the army was declared subject to a heavy &scout, it having been represented to the government that the selposime of pay occasioned by that measure ex posed the Aare of the army to great privations. The same might be said of the poor clerks in Ileel eseemesst ales% bat whom it is net so important to consillate, The (iimsNe Agursirs contains an account of the very favesrable Tempi= of the Marquis Binoloa, at n, where he has renewed the long sus pended dip intercourse between the Saxon and BpaoirD courts. MADRID, MAT 4. The Duke de Villahermosa, who during several years was the Spanish ambassador in Paria, has died almost suddenly. As was anticipated, the greater part of tho news ' papers have ceased to appear. Of the 13 journals of Madrid, 10, La Esperanto, the Clamor Publico, the Nation, the Ileral6, the Noredades, the Epoca, the Caddies), the Observader, the Opinion, and the Military Gaustie, have suspended their publication. The minis terial papers, the Gazelle of Madrid, the Espana, and rho Orden alone continue to appear. The suspended journals will not reappear till they shall have found responsible directors uniting all the conditions re quired by the new law. About 19 journals in the provinces will, it is believed, be under the necessity of suspending their publications. An application made by some of the Madrid papers for a short re spite, to enable them to find uew directors, has met with a refusal. ITALY. PIEDMONT.

Count Annoni, a 730ic;;1 of hussars in the Austrian regiment, Carignan, sent his resignation to the war office at Vienna in 1848, and entered the Sardinian service. Marshal Radeissky refused to accept it, and ordered the enrolment of Count Anuoni's name on the list of deserters, and at the same lime seques tered his goods. Within the last few days the Count, who is still in Piedmont, has been tried in Milan, condemned to an infamous death, and actu ally hung in effigy. TWO SICILIES.

The members of the First Chamber have been individually informed by the president, that the sitting announced for to-day would not take place, and that they will be informed of the next sitting by letters delivered at their houses. It is rumoured that the president of the Council had written to the president of the First Chamber to say that, after the rejection of the message and amendment/10y the Second Chamber, any discussion on the same subject in the Upper Ch amber would be useless. Hence the adjournment of the sitting. The King of Prussia and the Empress of Russia were expected at Breslau this evening. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Nay Yuan, Aram 28. Balinese was brisk, and stocks in demand. There was a Luger demand for sterling to-day, which induced the lead ing bankers to put their rates up to 91 to 91 per cent. The sales were large, but the latter advance checked it, and we heard of no sales above 91. To the usual demand for the steamer was added an order from Boston for East India re mittance, and some demand Om Havana account. The sup ply was good, but nearly all the desirable bills at and below tit were picked up. It has been discovered that • great many French silver coin have been largely deteriorated in value. Tho process has been to remove one seal of a silver coin with a very Bne saw, cut out the silver in the middle, 1311 up with baser metal, solder on the surface again, and leave the piece look ing as before ; those of the pieces thus altered bear the effigy either of Louis XVIII., Charles X. ' or Louis Philippe. The fraud was tint detected in the Bank of France. The depreciation amounts to about seven-tenths of the first value. _ _ BilEADOTUFFlL—Flourmoved to the extent of 6,500 bbls.

CENTRAL AMERICA. A correspondent, writing from Orey Town, says : " Thisinfant colony is doing well, and must flourish unless deserted by its kind nurse, Old England. Articles of food were rather scarce and dear during our stay, but this may be attributed to the arrival of upwards of 400 emigrants from America, on their way to California, and whose ravages on their small resources resemble an invasion of locusts. Their con dition was very distressing, as the steamer which was to convey them up the river was on shore. and the North America on the Pacific side had been totally wrecked, 30 miles south of Acapulco. H.M.B. Sappho, on April 4th, was waiting the arrival of the Persian to relieve her. The American cor vette Decatur had sailed on a cruise. _ _ "Many persons are leaving Chagres for Navy Bay, and when the railway is complete Chagres will lose much of its late importance, especially when the Royal Mail steamers quit its dismal sickly shore. The river at Cruces was so shallow that some difficulty I was experienced in conveying down the last of the freight for the Medway. The railway is fast pro gressing. Trains run daily for some 19 miles, and the whole distance to Gorgon will be accom plished in a twelvemonth aFould the season prove as favourable as the last. Much anxiety prevailed at Chagres in consequence of the number of ditorderly characters taking every opportunity of doing mis chief. " On the night of the 2nd instant, a Jamaica ne grois of the name of Johnston had a ' fandango' at her house, and to which none but the Jamaica negroes were admitted. • During the evening some of the natives (Grenadian.) went to look on, but as soon as they entered they were maltreated by the Jamaicans. This roused their Spanish blood, and they immediately crossed the river to the Spanish side and mustered about two hundred of their countrymen, who immediately armed themselves with knives, swords, and fire-arms, and went over to the American side, entered Mrs. Johnston's premises, cleared her house, and made a complete wreck of everything. The Jamaicans fled in all directions, finding they were overmatched. As soon as the Spanish authorities knew of the transaction they brought over the soldiers, made several arrests, and continued doing so until yester day evening (3rd inst.), when they had upwards of 30 in custody in the fort, and all of them in a most deplorable condition. Several of them are so severely wounded as to show they must have been cut and mangled in a mast brutal manner, as their arms and ler are only hanging to their bodice, and they are without medical aid, so that it is quite apparent that if they do not die from starvation (which is not un likely, us the Spaniards do not feed prisoners in the Fort, but leave them to their own resources), they are almost sure to die from neglect of their wounds. " An order had been received at Chagres in the early part of the week to send off ,all the troops per British mail to Carthiv,rena to quell a disturbance which had broken out there, so on the morning of the 3rd, a courier was despatched to Panama, pray ing the authorities there not to allow the troops to be sent away, but rather to send more to guard the safety of the place." AUSTRIA. The Vienna Gazette, of the 4th, contains the nomi nation of Count Menadorif as Austrian ambassador at the Russian court. NASSAU. On the 3rd inst., while the Duke of Nassau was riding in the Park of the Chateau, his horse reared, by which ho was thrown off, and broke his arm. WIESBADEN, MAT 4. The proposition of the deputies Braun and Lang, for continuing the Zollvervin without making the entrance of Austria a preliminary condition, has been carried in the Second Chamber with only ono dissen tient voice. DENMARK. A correspondent states that that most intricate and complicated business, the succession to the Danish throne, is now regulated. The legal claim ant of the throne has been set aside, and the proteo of Russia is to be guaranteed its possession on the death of the present monarch, Frederick VII. The final conference of the representatives of the great powers of Europe, who have occupied themselves for more than two years with the subject, took place on Saturday, in the Foreign-office in Downing-street, when the protocols diplomatically legalising the result were signed. It is fortunate for the reputation of the veteran diplomatists engaged on this occasion, that the settlement they have at last obtained of this question has been greatly facilitated by the timely withdrawal of tho Duke of Angus tenberg, the rightful heir, whose claims, however much they may have been disputed, are in reality founded on Danish law and European equity. Had the Duke of Augnstcnberg not so withdrawn, the great powers would have been com pelled, to obtain any result at all, to have decreed, in defiance of all law, truth, and equity, that his claims were not well founded, and that he otight to have been passed over. They have been spared the com mittal of a flagrant and scandalous act of injustice, to which, however—and this ought not to be over looked—they were, with one or two exceptions, well inclined. But opposed to united Europe, excepting the King of Prussia, who has always supported his claims, exiled from his home in Schleswig, his whole family proscribed, his estates attainted on account of his participation in the late war in Schleswig Hol stein, and compelled to subsist on the narrow pittance derived from a small estate in Sweden, the Duke of Augnstenberg has at last been starved into submis sion. For the sum of 2,230,000 thalers, or 340,0004, the duke foregoes not only his birthright, the succes sion to the Danish throne, but all right and title to the family estates within the Danish monarchy. The succession to the Danish throne is to be con veyed, by a succession of resignations, to the chil dren of Prince Christian, of bonderbeg Olucksburg. The intermediate heirs to the throne, with the ex ception of the heir apparent, who is sixty-two years old, and without children, are all females, who, though they can succeed in Denmark, cannot Ric ceed in Schleswig or Holstein, where the Salle law is not recognised. They, therefore, all resign their claims on behalf of the second daughter of Princess Charlotte, the widow of William Landgravo of Hesse, who is second also in succession. This daughter, who claims in direct descent from the female line, is married to Prince Christian of Son derberg Olucksburg, who, from the withdrawal of the Duke of Augustenburg, becomes the direct heir of the male line. From this marriage have sprung several children, and to their heirs male, three in number, the throne of Denmark is to be guaranteed. On the death of the present King, Prince Christian Frederick, of Sonderberg Olucksburg, who is now nine years of age, is to ascend the Danish throne. • A letter from Fribourg, the S u isse of Berne, of May 7, states that a pacific demonstration on a large scale is about to be made in Fribourg against the constitution. Of 22,000 inhabitants of this canton 18,000 refused to take the oath, and of the 4,000 who did not take it the greater part were in a man ner forced to do so, to preserve their places or to es cape tines. It is now proposed to get up a monster procession to the great council to complain of the con stitution never having been ratified, and to expose their political views. TURKEY. The Osserratore Da/mato states that the inhabi tants of Nikjic and Korenik, who hod declared they would not give up their arms to the Ottoman autho rities, have changed their minds, and are now will ing to submit. It is believed that other villages also will follow their example, without measures of coer ybeftlin ed, All the inhabitants of Tre have pa Csaamed, and the arms sent to Mostar. AMERICA.

The Indians were quiet, busincu was very dull, and large numbers of the people were leaving to seek their for tunes in the Gila gold diggings. The New York San says the telegraph between Newhaven and Waterbury, Ct., has been put to a somewh►t novel use. Conversation between friends (one in each place) is carried on for any required length of time, the operators acting alternately as spokesmen and interpreters. This they are enabled to do without having the message written, by listen ing attentively to the clicking of the machine. The charge for this service is very moderate—only 10 cents for flee minutes, and one cent per minute over that. The New Orleans True Della says the frequent and calamitous explosions of steamboat boilers on western rivers is fast driving travel northward into other channels, and has affected to a very appreciable ex tent tho welfare of a number of raver towns whose prosperity is more or less dependent on the patronage of travellers. _ _ Lola Mentes, since her return from Boston, has been living very privately at the Howard-house; her morning levees, it is said, exhibiting only a few counts and barons from different parts of Europe. In Hartford, on her way to this city, a rupture took place between her and Mr. Marshall, which cancelled her engagement; but it seems a new contract has been signed by both parties, in which it is stipulated, on the part of the manager of the Broadway Theatre, that Lola Monte, is to appear in the new comedy of her life, written for her by Mr. Ware, some time during the coming summer or fall, under the condi tions that, in the interval, the cotiutess shall cause no explosion, revolution, or volcanic eruption in the politics or religion of this country. This contract, securing her neutrality in politics and religion, is ac tually signed. The New York Crystal Palace does not appear to be making much headway.

On Saturday evening an entertainment on far more than tho usual scale of civic magnificence was given by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor to nearly the whole of her Majesty's ministers in and out of the cabinet, all the foreign ambassadors, a great number of distinguished naval and military officers, and a brilliant assemblage of ladies and gentlemen whose social position or municipal connexions entitled them to the entrte of the Egyptian-hall. The display of uniforms, naval and military, court and diplomatic, foreign and civic, was extraordinarily varied and brilliant. The entertainment itself was worthy of so distinguished a company. Several novelties in arrangement had been judiciously borrowed from the grand banquet at the Hotel de Ville, especially a profuse and tasteful display of natural flowers, which running along the centre of the table', imparted much of that graceful lightness of decoration of which our Gallic neighbours have hitherto enjoyed almost • monopoly. Music, vocal and instrumental, was provided under the direction of Mr. Francis, and the wines from the Lord Mayor's own cellars left nothing to be desired either in quality or abundance. Among tho company were : leis Royal Highness tho Duke of Cambridge and Lord William Powlett, the French Ambassador and the Countess Walewski, the Earl and Counties of Derby, the Earl of Lonadale, Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, Right Hon. Spencer Walpole and Mrs. Walpole, Earl and Coun tess of Malmesbury, the Right Hon.

W. D. Talbot, Major the lion. S. Cotton, M.P., &c. The first toast was, of course, " The Queen," which tho Lord Mayor briefly introduced by an allusion to the ready welcome with which her Majesty's health is received in every assembly of Englishmen, and nowhere with greater demonstrations of affectionate loyalty than in the good city of London. Even beyond the British empire he was wil ling to believe there were few who would not willingly join In pledging, " Long life, ha p piness, and prosperity to Queen Victoria." (Loud cheers.) The toast was enthusi astically responded to, especially by the foreign guests, who were most marked in their courteous demonstrations. His LORDSHIP then gave" His Royal Highness Prince Albert, Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family, including his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, their honoured guest." Having done full justice to the exalted position, both at home and abroad, of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, whose character and acts formed their own eulogium, his lordship congratulated himself upon having as one of his guests, so distinguished a mem of the Royal Family as the illustrious Prince who .at on his right hand (the Duke of Cambridge). That distinguished prince was endeared to the city of London by his charseter, by the memory of his illustrious father, and by his connex ion with more than one of the great city companies. (Loud cheers.) He felt the day to be a proud one in which be had the honour of proposing such a toast, in such a com pany, and be felt sure the company would sympathize with him In giving it a hearty welcome. (Great cheering.) The Duke of CAMBRIDGE rose to return thanks and was again loudly cheered. His royal highness said—My lord mayor, ladies, and gentlemen, I certainly had hoped that it would no t have been necessary for me to have ad dressed you at all, because I feel that in the presence of many who surround me, whose remarks you will he much more gratified to listen to, anything I should say would occupy your time very unnecessarily. At the same time, I should feel myself wanting in respect to your lordship and the company 111 neglected to express to you the sentiments I entertain towards the Lord Mayor of this great City for the compliment he has paid me, and the manner in which he has referred to me. I feel extremely flattered that he bee done me the honour to invite me on an occasion such as this. I feel flattered because I see around me the mem hers of her Majesty's government and many distinguished foreigners who grace your lordship's table. I stn myself a etildier, and es such I trust and believe that 1 shall be as willing and ready u anybody in this hall to do my duty both to my sovereign and my country. (Cheers.) But at the same timu you will believe me when I say, that it affords me a great deal more gra tification and satisfaction to see the many distinguished foreigners who are present meeting us in amity and friend ship, and that cordial letting which I trust will ever prevail, and which is of the greatest importance for the prosperity of the world and of this great city in which we are now assem bled, than I should derive from the most brilliant success in the field. (Applause.) I trust that that amicable and satisfactory state of things will long continue, and I have only to assure y our lordship that it a ff ords me, as one of your subjects in this city, the greatest satisfaction to join with you in doing honour to our distinguished foreign friends. You have alluded to my being a nirmher of two great corporations in the City of London—that is an honour I highly prize and I see before me the Prime W.oden of one of those distinguished companies. I ant delight d to act as one of his subordinates, and shall be happy to attend him on all occasions; and beg to assure yes that I am extremely grateful for the honour you have done me in •1 arin• i s▪ e?. ai with Nod emu of th Tt TZ iosti moi are mil pro' en{{ forr a ri _ _ _ red PT' qui cor tlla ho, YB a Lc ari im tt to e an th h of d of if an h d T 1 I it d AP )r Pt It cc co u en I- PC Al a of 7 Ml in 1- di 1, cl 14 , co tt in A bl co or ar Of dc th
