FRANCE. (nom on ow PARIS, SATURDAY Rimini°. The Corps Legitlatif was crowded to excess yesterday to hear M. Berryer make his first speech after an absence of twelve years from public life. Although he is now 76 years old his admirers were iu no way disappointed, and found in him all the vigour, animation, elegance, and lucidity for which he was famous of yore. The occasion was by no means a particularly congenial one for oratorical display, the order of the day being the " Supplemental Credits Bill for 1863 ; ' but such is the charm of M. Berryer's voice and style and manner that, although he did not go out of his way to seek for effect, and very fairly conformed to the understanding come to that the political questions which will arise in the debate es the address should not be anticipated on the discussion of this financial measure, he captivated the attention of an audience in great part hostile while for nearly two hours he went through the dryest and moat complicated details of the budget. It should be stated, what is probably forgotten by many who blow M. Eerryer princi pally by his forensic triumphs, that finance is a subject which he has especially studied, and on which Ike delivered many masterly speeches in former times. The figures which M. Berryer marshalled forth last night to lay the foundations of his argument were mainly the same as those dwelt upon by M. niers the other day. He took a long retrospec tive review of the floating debt, and in answer to the taunt constantly insisted upon by official writers and speakers, that great part of it was incurred by former governments, observed that at least they had save glorious and substantial results to show for it, such as the enfranchisement of Greece and the conquest of Algeria. He depicted in strong relief the discrepancy between M. Fould's promises iu 1861 and his performances in 1863, but did not doubt that he was profoundly afflicted at the inefficacy of the means by which he had hoped to avoid loans and supplemental credits. Now the two first bills which they were called upon to vote in this new parliament were a loan for 315 millions, and sup plemental credits for money illegally expended to the extent of 93 millions. When he looked at the augmentation of the consolidated and floating debt during the last twelve years he was perfectly appalled. He found that the sum total of their loans, and other operations which were tanta mount to them, came to three milliards 144 millions since 1852. He severely criticised an operation by which sixty millions had been got from the Bank of France on the ground that the mode of repayment indirectly guaranteed the monopoly of that establishment for thirty years to come. He disapproved of the permission given to the Bank to raise its discount above the rats of 6 per cent. He thought a moat unnecessary and humiliatingsacrifice had been made in compromising a debt of 98 millions owing by Spain for a sum of 26 millions in ready money. Spain was a prosperous and improving country, and perfectly well able to pay. He considered the conversion a failure, and that the 157 millions got by the soutte were dearly purchased by the large addition madeto the capital of the consolidated debt. He denied that the "uni fication "of the debt from which M. Fould antici pated so much prosperity was a desirable thing ; be thought it was better that there should be several stocks. But after all the plan failed, and the uniti eation had not been effected. Coming to the illegality of the government with respect to these supple mental credits which was admitted by M. Lama bure's report, he demurred to the plea of necessity which had been set up as an excuse. He contended that the government perfectly well knew of all these expenses in May last, and ought then to have obtained parliamentary authority for them. The government had then every means of knowing that the drawbacks on sugar would require double the sum they had stated ; they must have known that men and money were wanted for Mexico and they knew all about the expenses of the railway from Vera Cruz to Soledad, with a prolongation to Chiquihuite. He did not know what other members might do—it was a case for every man to act ac cording to his individual conscience, but be, for one, would not give them a bill oeindemnity for acts knowingly dune in violation of the law. He heard with dismay that the army was to remain at least another year in Mexico. Another year Why that represented another 150 millions at the least. They had now got a claim of 200 millions upon Mexico, which they would never realise, and be believed that before beginning the war the original debt of Mexico to France was only about four millions. After insisting very strongly upon the IMES sity of reviving the operation of the sinking fund (an opinion in which M. Emile 011ivier subsequently said he did not agree with him) and attributing the high price of the fonds at various periods from 1848 to the action of that fund, M. Berryer oon sloded'with the following peroration Lea. ing for the manumit out of view expeditious that may be commanded by imperious necessity, I empire the government to preserve peace for France in all circum. @tames where ourhonour u not coucerned, our independeoce net menaced. In other countries it might perhaps be im prudent. perhaps unpatriotic, to my that Franco hex need of peace. But Franca can say this openly—(much applause) —and I myself my it without hesitation. I ceasot contem plate without dimly the catastrophe, the roil' to which our commerce, our industrial establishments, our universally diffsard shares and securities would be exposed by a general war breaking out al the continent. (Approbation) When a man hex reached my age he is without persoaal pre occupation, the future is cot for him ; but I shall aver ✓emain faithful to my passion for the brilliant and happy disguise of my country. (Great applause.) .. • Bonin (the reporter on the last loan bill) re plied to M. Berrver , and while emphatically agree sag with him in his desire for peace, combated omit of Lis arguments, and contended that but for the Mexican war, which he hopedto see speedily ter minated, the finances of the country would not bare been in a bad state. He thought the conver- Moo Lad been a wise measure, and was of opinion that the Senatus Consultum of 1861 bad really aecompliebed some substantial reforms. M. Emile 011irier wound up the day's debate by stigmatising very severely the illegalities which Lave been unblushingly committed by the govern ment. I call your attention to the following con cluding passage in his speech, in which the leading member of the democratic opposition urgently presses for a disarmament : I cannot resume my mat without a few remarks on M. larrabuie's report on the bill now before us. I have read it attentively. and it excited in me two very different feel ing. The find I have already expressed ; I will now ex plain tbo mooed. Those who support the government and yet think proper . to teat some of its acts with severity, weght. io my °psalms, to be firmly resolved to prevent the vegetition of such actg. To tell the government the truth and condemn its acts, without doing anything to provost the incurrence of the tame facts ia to sacrifice ma's own oseelateocy, and to weaken the government without advan tage for the country. Allow me to say, gentlemen. that I bare been struck with the manner in which you have always performed your duties in bimodal qua- WM. In your reports on the budget you have on all oats aloes told the truth. The reports of M. Schneider, of M. Alfred Le Roux, end of our lots colleague M. Bewitch, give a complete history of our finances. The right course is therein faithfully lanceted, and all errors noted, but with set any beneficial result. You must do more if you wish to fulfil your duty. You say that economies ere necessary ; yea maid bee that they ate really effected if you would ea have the country . burdeoed with fresh taxes. When the honourable M. Berryer announced his intention to propose important germanise, an honourable member inquired what they ware to be. I now address the sae question to the reporter of your committee, who also recommends econeeues, sod asserts that the pre• nervation of peace is the sole means of obtaining them. Such isalso my opines ; but bow is peace to be made per manent': Is my °puska the only means is a diaarmanient. Itare are two massive of creating a situation which leaves yes without Witham, over other sallow': you may be too weak, or too powerful. When too weak, you are despised ; when too powerful, your iateetioes are distrusted, and all emir to defend themselves against you. The danger of Feriae at present coned. in being too powerful. What- ever her sea or proposals, she is mistrusted ; no owe will believe her to be disinterested; Ist her preys thefaet by watering her army. Secure eamemy by peace, and pesos by disarming ; but remember that to disarm will he clangor ed,/ if you do not greet liberty at the same time. (Inter. - - Vol . ( I -That ia as old story.

THE WEATHER AND THE ?ADES. Yesterday the first @hating season d 1864 was brought so a close. The thaw watch set in at Siassitay menciag, although it did not affect the SAMOS el the ies, coeds It extremely greasy, but notwithstaading a vest num ber of persons, released by the Ssturday hall4solidey, visited the parka. On Saturday evening the thermometer marked 38, or eight degrees above freezing point. Yesterday more iag the thermometer at the receiviag-house in Hydeireek marked 40, and at five o'clock iu the aft moon had rises to 43. The los began to show signs of rotteances, and was revered with water from one to two lashes is depth. Notwithstanding this, however, several hundred persons metered upon it during the morning, and in the after noes it became crowded. Sliding, however, was out altt o h o u ‘ i ii luestioe, and skating was only punned ender great disc omfort and danger. The ice having given way at the sides sod become generally looesned, • brio MTh' ber of immersions took place, but wee attandel, as far as could be ascertained, with fatal oonseqnseess. As the is is sow viol dangerous, and hourly becoming more so, the Hamar. Sedeay have decided not to withdrew their ems, eves should the thaw continue, until the middle of the present week. Large numbers of memo whose me i cations have prevented their attending the perks owl the week, and who visited them yesterday is the b I being able to participate in She skating, were ineelie'rimp pointed at finding the ice so unsafe. - Oomparatively few persona were present at the water in the Begeet's.park, but the number attending Hyde-park and St. Jareees-park was I my large. The few hundreds of boys on the ice in the last.asmed park, not being able to amuse themselne with slidinspresorted to pelting the people on the beaks with lamps of ice, who in return threw bask oranges, for which there was • regular scramble, and in the rushee which took Owe several fell through into the eater, to the apparent delight of the spectators. iThe banks of the Serpeatise were also densely crowded with promenaders, nod the carries@ drive was also well filled, but there was an mike abases of the rough sport which took piece is St. James's park. Between 1 and 5 o'clock, the fog making its appear : mos, the icemen, by the aid of • rope stretched from boar to bank, compelled those to leave it who seemed iodised to linger ow it to the manifest danger of their lives. Should the thaw eontinue, the icemen and park-keepers have orders to remit any person going Kam the is this meriting. By 6 to clock in the evening the parks were nearly cleared of the immense crowds which had resorted there during the afternoon.

THR CRYSTAL PALACE. The Crystal Palace now contains all that was nerieseary to complete its MANI of clamed& objects, at eon so interesting and so instructive, but unhappily so little noticed is those latter day. el Banda ascents and shadow pantomimes. It has the best collection of Annan in England- perhaps in Europe—the most MINIMS array of portrait busts, every isslisidasl head rocs/Bag a histoTy, sad, is the Pompeian wart, an exact represealation of a Roman interior, just as the people lived in it in the time of the Cagan It has long pinerved en exact model of the Parthenon, the most perfect temple save no ever pat to gether by human hands ; and now its Greek parry is sem. plated, with a Jar-simile of the whole Acropolis with all its famous features so familiar to the student a Greek history. The model, which is carefully constructed to scale—one thousandth—is the work of a lady, Mrs. AVTIII2IiO4B, and is most creditable both to her patinas and her artistic sidll. We have the great cook, the site of the infant city, and eloping deem in frost the marble staircase, the construction of which was one of the tweets of the long rule of Ponca& There are in hoot, the Temple of Victory, the reoselly discovered Temple of Beaches, both otiefully restored, and above them the far-famed Propyhea with its six Doric columns and five doorways, forming the entrance to the " finest edifice on the fined site in the world r the Par thenon itself, built of the whit* marble of Peateliona, and looking, in ruins, as bright and dazzling as it did two !bonnet years ago. The spectator can note the destruction I caned by the Venetian bomb in 16117, and mks the pleader known in this country as the Elgin Marbles. During the Turkish rule the Acropolis suffered severely, but a wane destroyer, time, is now rapidly crumbling its beautiful or naments away. We shall, therefore, be all the more obliged to Mrs. Avramiote for coriatructieg this carefully made model, so perfect in all its details, sad giving a better idea of the first architectural " Lion "of ancient Athens than could be obtained from a whole volume of description. Al the walls of the Acropolis weirs a little over 2,000 yards is circuit, and as the model is on a scale of one-thousandth, it will be seen that it is of sufficient she to permit of full junkie being done to every one of its mani fold beauties. It is, we believe, the first perfect model o the Acropolis that has been exhibited in Eaglaad, and therefore, sure to be a most attractive addition to the eke sisal department of the Crystal Palace.

The numbers who fired were 549 and 537 ; but the figure of merit bad been very high, 42.39 %alma 39.67 of lest year. The value of the prises amounted to 1,1801. After some other remarks, Lady Coestanos, in presenting the Mina addressed a few words of congratulation to each winner, amid loud cheering, after which Calomel M'Hurdo, C. 8., Inspector of Volunteers, said he was glad to me so large • display of prizes, which stimulated men to Maimed efficiency, and more than three-fourths of the re giment were in • high state of diode/file. He (Colonel SI llordo) wee not able to give full details of the numbs' of volunteers in the United Kingdom during the lest year. but he had seen the details of one-third, and there was en increase of 4,000 mm, and as that was gradual be doubted not that an increase of 12,000 men would be found. The difference between the Wadies. of this and last year would sot be surprising, as before the number was merely se numbers, instead of efficiency, and it showed that the offices had more satisfactorily done their duty, and his impieties, as Inspector-Oesseal, enabled him to my that the volunteer form had really so d practically increased. He had hese mated if the Meer fors was able to undergo the hardships of military life, amp annoy- Ames, and privations ; but their mathiel showed that they would be equal to any emergencies they might be celled upon to ful6l.

A petition has been forwarded to his Royal Righ tism the Prinoe of Wales, from the medial practitioners of Southwark, praying hie royal highnethe intarcessioa to obtain from her Majesty a commutation of the sesame of Wright, who now lie In Honemouger-lane gaol under sen tence of death, ea go act la graces on the birth of • prim in direct succession to the throne. Amoogat the sigoatude are included those of Dr. Enos, Dr. A. Edgar* Dr. Almada, Dr. Neal. Eerie, Dr. Lieweffya, Dr. Hoodersoo, Dr. P. Want, Dr. R. A. Bolt, Dr. J. R. Turner, Dr. Howell, kg. On titarday evening a crowded meeting of the andemen and working-clams of Lambeth and South work was held at the Lambeth Baths, in the Westroin ster-road, to Mr the result of the memorials pre- seated to Sir George Grey on behalf of the above unfor tunate man, and to make another and final effort to procure a commutation of the capital punishment. The following memorial to Sir George Grey was adopted:— "That the memorialists heard with unfeigned regret of the failure of the memorial already presented ; that th ey be lieve it Wright bad had his trial postponed and legal as lilltilboo, his crime would have bees reduced to one of man slaughter ; that the moral effect of the execution of Wright wield be lost on the public, who. keeping in view the cle mency recently extended to another crunueol,would consider him to be punished as much for his poverty and position as for his crime ; and that they mother the suspicions event of the birth of a young prince • fitting opportunity for the extension of the royal mercy, kn. kr." It has been dated already that the Secretary of State had sent a reply on Thursday to the memorial of the visiting magistrates of If oreemonger-lane Prison. The following i the reply of Sir George Grey : " Whitehall, Jan. 7. " Geotlemen,—l am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to acknowledge the mead of your madam' in be half of Samuel Wright, now under sentence of death for murder. In reply lam to acquaint you that, having re fared the petition addressed to him by the prisoner, together with hi own statement, and other &canal' relating to the cage, to the learned judge before whom the prisoner was arraigned, Sir George Grey has boss informed by him that be believes the primer to have perfectly thelinacod what he was doing when he pleaded guilty. and that in his opinion the result must have been the more had be stood on aid, unless the jury neglected to do their duty. He farther thinks that evened the satermat Mee made by the primer could have been heard by the jay it would not have Piddled them in retuning • verdict of manslaughter, though, assuming its truth, it deprives the crime of the character of being • cold-blooded and deliberate murder. The judge, pander, while giving no opinion as to whether, under the cireamilinemi, atomism of she law should be executed or sot, adverts to the foot that there was nothing tending to that that there bad been any violence se the part of the woman, except the prima's exprethos when apprehended (not as dated in the memorial that she had threatened to run • knife laic him) but ' that is the knife th e took np tome,' meaning • kn ife found by the po liceman on the %hie ; and he adds that if there had been env sock struggle es would in point of law have sufficed to reduce the crime to manslaughter. he should have expected that there would bay. been traces of it on the prisoner's clothes and person, and that the noise would have Ms heard. Sir George Grey has no ream to doubt the AM that the wawa was • violent woman and • ar ail y e Z chassoler, but he can find nothing in the cartons declass dons and documents which have been emit to him which alters the view of theme taken by the learned judge. Two indeed, in describing what took pia at the Feathers say that on the prisoner coming to the tavern and calling for • gime of ale tie woman began quer rennet with him, mid sand him twice, one of them adding that 61 appeared to take it all in good part. Even on the sup- that this is tics, Wader that the blows said to have li struck by the gram were sot snob as to cam pro vocation 'aliment to rodeos the crime committed is soother glow, an boar afterwards, from murder to manslaughter ; bet the statements themselves are not borne out by the primer's own statement, in which nothing is said of these alleged blows, or of any provogation until the woman woke 1 Ithe and said she woad ens • bet of odd steel into him ; bet whether or not she had • knifes her hoed he mid sot say. They then, according to his stata =ad more words, sad • souffle ensued, when be up the razor and cut her throat. Under these @isthmian" however painful it is to see emu of hitherto meth elmeter nada senteace at death for such • crime, Sir . George Grey regale that he can feel justified in sa aiming, oadrary to the °pinto* of the learned judge sad to She foci as they appear from the depositions and the venous documents before him, either that the primer did sot thew what be was daft, and the consequences of it when he pleaded guilty, or that, if he had pleaded 'not guilty,' and the trial had alma plan, the verdict could have bees any ether than that of wilful murder.

The sudden in prices on the last day of 1563, when the Li cotton market, on the taking of stock, cud dimly rose 2d. per lb., caused • corresponding reaction here, but it turns out that the purchases of cloth made on that day were wholly speculative, and during the succeeding holidays time was given for reflection by bolsi Me buyers, which seems to have resulted unfavourably to bursar. Buyers both foe home consumption mid export appear this week to he of opinion that present rates are unsafe, and they have shown this opinion by abstaining from business to as extent that has rarely been witnessed before. Spin. nem and manufacturers, knowing that production was lasseoed by the stoppage of many mills at Christmas, showed a disposition early in the week to meet this resistaoceltoanadvanoe of prior with firmness, and hence an almost utter suspension of bushier. Towards the clone of the week, however, they have been disposed to yield a little, and yesterday home trade yarns were id. to ld. per lb. cheaper. Manufacturers, also, to hays effected sales, would have been compelled to make • similar concession. The easier toe, thus brought about led to some few sales, but buyers are still indisposed to operate to an extent worthy of mention, and hence the week closes with a flat market, the aggregate business of the six days having been exceediegly snialL At least ose.half of the advance of the 31st Decem ber has already been lost, and though some spinners and manufacturers show much firmer, it is far from gerund, and there is great irregularity is prices. Buyers Nay that is some cases they found a difference of 2d. per lb. between the quotations of some spinners as compared with others for the same qualities of yarn, but such cams were no doubt exceptional, and it is safer to take the decline as stated above at id. to ld. per lb. WOOLLEN.—Lmatm, JAN. 9.—A quiet market in both the coloured 'Lad white cloth halls and so feature of any importance to remark upon. Was momakterable, and prime puerally fine. HARDWARE—Biamincuar.

By the time these are executed the factors' trs yellers will have resumed their journeys, and fresh orders will come in on account of the home trade. In the foreign department there is not much doing at present, and it is not unlikely that the unsettled aspect of political affairs on the continent will ham the effect of checking for a time the 1 orders usually given out on account of the spring trade. Is th,Z isi other respects the prospects of it are tto be favour- I able, the tone of recent advice; • to the in. i foresee that there will be a better demand er hardwares for Canada ; also for Australis, and the East Indies.
