AV! of tpoen t oripit has apt, up by Air Imperial Ally to on the fundamental laws of the realm to suit his convenience. The san guinary attempt of ORSINI and his companions was not, therefore, the real origin of the late endeavour to effect this object—it was but a plausible escuse, very maladroitly need. But this is clear, that if a proper tone had long ago been taken in public —aye, or even in private—by Lord CLARENDON, the Sove reign and Ministers of France would never have been beguiled into the mistakes they have committed during the last few weeks. The Herold says that " the cue of the British 'measure at Naples is now under the swims consideration of the government, and will receive that earnest and imme diate titiollitiOlt which it desernsa. Lord Derby and his col league ere, in fact, resolved to stand by the country, and the people mast stand by them and aid and encourage them with their support." A letter from Paris says :—" Though Orsini is said to have &played much calmness since hie condemnation 1 yet, to pretreat any attempt by his own hand, it was though: prudent to us the ausaacts•-a-force, or strait-waistcoat. The others, with the exception of Gomm, who is lot con demned to death, are similarly tinned. The chaplain of the prima boa been with there, but it is not said that his exhor tations have had much abbot. They attnuled divine service yerterdty in the chapel of the prison. The minute of the trial were to be submitted this day to the Parquet of the Ceart of Cessation by the Attorney-General. They will be diftributed, and the Court will appoint one of the cOnseillere to draw tap t►e report, ea which the coadrmatioa or Meal& dation of the madam ci the Lower Court will be founded. I may add that there is little or no chance that the sentence will be disturbed, and It is probable that the whole adeir will be decided is the coarse of the week." !korai LAW APPOINTMENTIL—In addition to the aanontmecoesiteelready made, we believe that Kr.

ENGLISH SUBJECTS DYING IN FRANCE.—An un married lish named Brown, who, after long residing at our- sr, had taken up her residence at Paris, died in e Hospitadde la Charitd, in June, 1854. She was at first supposed to be In distress, but it turned out that she had left securities worth more than 300,000 fr. The government took ponersion of the property, but her brother and two sisters—Mr. George Brown, Mrs. Worth, and Mrs. Munro—brought in July, 1836, en action before the Civil Tribunal to get It back, and as they produced letters of administration from the Prerogative engirt of Canterbury, the tribunal granted the application. On Saturday the Pre fect of the Seine, acting as representative of the government, appealed to the Imperial Court to have the decision set aside, on the ground that the letters of admlnietration were not sufficient to prove that Mr. Brown, Mrs. Worth, and Mrs. Munro, were really the heirs of the demised, and that they ought formally to have established the fact in the manner required by English jurisprvidenoe ; but the court confirmed the former judgment. TIIE IRON AND COAL TRADES.—A quiet tone still pervades the iron market, and orders are restricted chiefly to the home demand. The orders from America and the Continent are few at present, but a better state of things is looked for as the season advance.. The first house* have at prevent a sufficient number of orders to keep their works in gear, but second-rate establishments experience some difficulty in finding their workmen full amp oyment. Quarter der s prices are fairly maintained, and there does not appear to be much underselling. Good hot blest tune pigs are firm at our last quotations, but infe rior makes are being sold at lower prime. There have been during the last six months about fifty human put out of blast, but notwithstanding pig iron Is accumulating. Dur ing the last week large contracts have been given out for rails for Roadie, but it is most likely that the principal por tion of them will be got up in Wales, as there are greater facilities in that district to make them than in South Staf fordshire. The coal trade is brisk, owing to the severity of the weather, and the colliers are fully employed. The coal masters east of Dudley have determined to give their men notice for a reduction of wages, which will put them on the lams footing as those west of Dudley. Whether or not they will acquiesce with the wishes of the masters so easily, and return to their work so peaceably as the latter did, remains to be seen. Ironstone, the yield of the district, is in good demand, and the price fairly maintained.— Waiver . lianoplon Chronicle of the day. THE THAMES TUNNEL COMPANY. —Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the proprietors of the Thames Teasel was held at Radley's Hotel, to rewire the annual report ead ' bag the 31st Dec.; Mr. F.L.Wollaston (one of the directors) presided, in the absence of Mr. B. Hawes, the chairman. Mr. W. W. Meson, the secretary, read the statement of re ceipts and expenditure, when the former (includier the habitue if last year of 5951. lls.) amounted to 6,2361. 9s. Among the items were, toile, 3,361/. 16e. ; rent of Melts In the tunnel, 4301. Os. 3d. ; rent of booms, 5271. 94., &o. The ' expenditure reached, on account of the tunnel, 3,6731. 3d., and, in addition, 1,1171. 7s. which had been paid to govern went; leaving a balance in hand amounting to 6401. 145. l Mr. F. Guam moved the adoption of the report, which, being seconded_ was agreed to unanimously. The &airman observed that though the receipts from the tolls were shout 4001. less than but year, yet the report aright becomidered favourable, as they had only paid the government 261. less than they did the previous year. The tunnel could not be in a better condition, and with re gard to the falling off of visitors, he was informed by the secretary that that arose from a diminution in the country visitors to London. A Proprietor observed that en_ opinion might prevail that the tunnel was mot safe. The Chainsaa remarked that it was as strong sad as solid as ever, and that It could only be damaged by an earthquake. In answer to several questions as to the appropriation of the tuned as a medium for railway traffic, the chairman observed that it was well known to railway companies that the company was ready to part with Its property for that purpose ea say res mumble offer. Mr. B. Hawes and the chairman were re elected directors. Thanks were then voted to them, the chair man, sad the mammary. CRUEL SENTENCE ON A CHILD.—It would be urn from our law reports yenerdsy, that the Supreme Court has (mashed the sentence pronounced by Bailie Thomson on a boy of nine years of age for an alleged act of theft. The character of the child I. thus cleared, but he has had to bear the pain of twenty stripe*, in addition to the misery of a criminal conviction and a lodgment In gaol, so that the remedy afforded by the court is by no mouse oommeasurate with the wrong. The action was raised against the lieutenant of polies who had apprehended the boy without a warrant ; and the fault of the magistrate appears to have been that of trusting ton implicitly to the accuracy of the police, convicting summarily on inadequate evid,nce, and omitting to sign the sentence in a regular manner. The resell of this ewe will doubtless have a salutary effect in guarding the Bailie. against these and other errors. It might tie ex pected that where a mere child end the helloes of decent parents are concerned, the humanity of the bench would be sufSclently active to scent out a Raw in the indictment, and to prevent hasty and undeserved punishment; but if merle trams allow therneelves to be seared by the mass of juvenile deliogwmy brought before them, and to regard the pro cedure et the police as unimpeachable, there is no end of the error and kinetics into which they may fall. This ease is doubtless • rare exception to the moral Omen of Bailie fatties, but it has brought down the severe caesura of the overt of and. as far se we can use, not without desert.— Deily Neil.

While the fate of the Administration, of which h• has been the rain, trembled in the balance he was mete ; now that the game he played .° ill is lost, be is insolent and loud. While a chance remained of escape under the shelter of Lord PALMERSTON'S character in past times for national pluck, his Foreign Secretary opened not his mouth ; but now that the dead weight of his errors has proved too heavy for the buoyancy of his late chief's personal popu larity, Lord CLARENDON comes forth, in the ill fitting guise of candour and self-devotion, prepared to take upon himself any amount of the penalty his friends have already paid, and full of the strange illusion that people will accept his swaggering se , Nation that he was right throughout as proof that his silence hitherto was disinterested, and that the condemnation of the Horne of Commons was wrong. Lord OAR:noon affected to appeal on Monday night against this sentence to the judgment of his peers. He took care to do so, however, at the time and in a manner that rendered it impossible to obtain an expression of their opinion, or any record of what they thought. And what is the sum and substance of his appeal—defence it would be absurd to call it ? In plain words this : that M. Warawsiti's despatch contained nothing which we had any ground to complain of ; that its tone was unexceptionable, and its statements regarding our legislative complicity in the guilt of ausasination perfectly true ; that it did not, therefore, require any other answer than that given to it privately, and by the introduction of the Conspiracy Bill four days after it had been received ; and finally, that, although it was so het, true, and moderate in all respects, it it had been answered officially, the answer must have " led to angry controversy." How these con flicting pleas are reconcileable we leave their author to explain. But we venture, in passing, to recommend Lord CLARENDON to write next time to Sir RICHARD BETHELL for his advice in preparing a defence for him, just as he wrote to him, he says, confidentially, to try how far he might venture to go in the way of propitiatory legislation at the expense of national self-respect. As for the despatch of the 20th January, the con demned Minister declares that when it was read to him the following day by M. PERSIGNY it did not call up even a flush of astonishment to his cheek; and far from feeling any sentiment of indignation he sat down and wrote that afternoon a confidential letter to Lord COWLEY, telling him that " nothing " could be more moder►te in tone." This and other letters, equally confidential, were, as he declares, re gularly read to the Exexaon ; and they were no doubt intended to be so. We have, then, by Lard CLARENDON'S own oonfessioo, two new bets worth careful noting :—First, that a despatch from a foreign Government, which the Parliament and people of this country have denounced as a gross and wanton insult, was in the estimate of hie lordship most moderate and suitable ; and secondly, that the French Government were betrayed by the confidential assurance of our Foreign Secretary into the lamentable error of supposing that by perse verance in the same style of thing they would obtain what they desired. England was belied, France was deceived, the amity of the two countries was endangered, and all because the seals of the Foreign-office were at the time entrusted to a man who by his own showing does not comprehend when the honour and dig nity of his country are assailed. Lord CLARENDON, in his desperate effort to assume a tone of courage, presumed to scoff at the judgment of the House of Commons, and to declare that the majority—compris- big nearly all the great intellects of that assembly— which voted his conduct deserving of censure, did not understand French, had not read the translation, or had wilfully misrepresented the meaning of his friend M. WALEWSEIN words. This flippant folly will not do. The House of Commons, whose sentence has been enthusiastically ratified by public opinion, and whose incontestable justice has been admitted by Lord CLARENDON'S ablest apolo gist in the daily press, can afford to smile compas sionately upon the writhing. and to hear unmoved the railings of a dismissed Minister. But for hie owe sake it is a pity that his friends do not advise the observance of a more decent and becoming tone In one whose moral and intellectual faults in this affair were so nearly entailing upon this country and Francs the gravest alb. We wish that we could stop even Fere, and allow the residue of Lord CLARENDON'S suicidal speech to pass without comment But there are other revela tions made by the intemperate Diplomatist which are tooimportant to be overlooked. In his anxiety to get rid el the imputation that the measure introduced by the late Government was essentially a French BiU, the ex‘recretary for Foreign Affairs has furnished evidence of the fact of which we had not dreamed. The very extracts he has garbled from his own cor respondenes with Lord COWLEY show that the nature of the measure and its comparative valise to the French Government, if enacted here, were the subject of secret and confidential consultation between the Ministers of Queen VICTORIA and the Ministers of Narourox 111.

The document. just published in the Gout), with reference to the trial of Macomo and others, and more espe cially the disclosures of the young " Impoego prophetess " and Kwitchi, will for us be historically important. The disclosures of the prophetess and her prompter Kwltchi, fully bear out the assertions of the governor in the opening paragraphs of the sentence pronounced upon Macomo and his followers. Those assertions are that the Kaffir thief' bad formed a plot for the invasion of the Frontier districts, and the expulsion of the Europeans Shou ter= ; and that their intention in causing the Kettles to destroy their cattle was, that being left without any means of sup port, the Kaffirs would be driven to such an extenelve course of depredation, that war would be the inevitable result. That this was the true state of the case, had be= often hinted and surmised before, but it, the examination of the little girl Nonkosi, in Umbeta's location, who led the Kailas to believe that she had conversed with the deceased prophet Undanjeni at • yin, Lad mean Hintze, Dushani, and other deed chiefs with cattle at the same place, and that she had even passed below the ground and visited the new country where they resided, the truth of these surmises is fully borne out; the, after some considerable equivocation, states that all that she had said had been told her by Kwitchi, her mottle?' brother, and a councillor of Umbel*. Kwitchi, too, after • barefaced attempt at hiding the real truth, con , fused to having told the little girl then things ; and that the chief Umbel& had specially sent him for the purpose of making the girl "talk." The chiefs Implicated belonged to the Gaika tribe, which, headed by Sandhi', was to have occu pied the Amatolas, and ravaged the country round Keiskama Hoek Post, and the Nimbi tribe, beaded by Uinhala, which was to have occupied the Lynx Beth, and have operated be tween Fort Pato and East London, while Krell was to have made • descent an Queenstown. A most formidable organ isation fora attack on the colony is thus proved to have ex- Wed, and its defeat is said by Kwitchi to be du exclusively to the slowness with which the cattle were killed, so that one half the people was starving, while yet the remainder yet possessed live stock. Those who had com menced early the work of destruction, had then to seek sub. sistence among the Enlists and Pingo'', the people they were to have destroyed. In (hie manner it is stated the tribes were broken up, notwithstanding the great exertions used by the various chiefs to hasten on the slaughter of the cattle, end so rash into war. Pato, Bandilli, Oba, Maximo, Mamba, Tole, and Mate are some of the chiefs implicated in the plot, as they are represented as visiting Umhala at the time when the discussions took plain. The Lots brought to light in this manner may well give rims to serious consideration on the part of the celonista, and nothing perhaps is of more importance than the cause which is Mated to account for the failure of the plot. The colony has given some large share of credit for this failure to the presence of the large body of troops we had on the frontier, but K witch, refers this failure exclusively to the want of slowness with which the Kaffir' yielded obedience to their chiefs; and it is extremely probable that, although oar =Mary preparations most have had some effect on the Kaffir., yet, that notwithstanding these wan would have been the result, If only the peculiar war preparation of the Kaffir had been conducted as sunultaaeously u the chiefs desired. They do not appear to have been altogether dis mayed, and after some considerable experience of what English troops can do, they appear to have been ready to brave • far larger number of them than they bad ever encountered before. Should the time arrive when Kaffir land, recovered from its present misfortune, and again teeming with • savage population, may feel once more a desire to precipitate itself on the colony, we may expect therefore, that no amount of preparation on our side for the hostile tint, will be effective la preventing it. That, in point of fact, while there is • large savage popu lation upon and within our border, with little or no pos sible check upon their habits and mitting, it is impossible that the frontier districts of the colony can ever be safe. Only in taking advantage of the providential tarn things have taken, as far as pueblo ; only by the extension of British rule over the whole of KaMens, and planting it with British settlers, can we hope to see any real help for the colony or any effective measure of civilisation applied to the Kaffir. The manner in which his excellency has performed his part in the affair has doubtless been of the most judicious Mod. This forbearance probably prevented events that other wise would have precipitated the war the Kadin were de thing ; while the endeavours made to prevent the destruc tion of the cattle must largely have contributed to the dilatory manner in which it was performed, the v reason why we are not at preamt in the midst of a war. ery A lesson this for fatties governors of this colony. In the judgments pared on the prisoners,Bir George Grey, after stating that they have been found guilty of mimes punishable with death, adds :—" But, as the excitement in British Heffraria has now almost subsided, and there does not appear to be the same necessity for prompt and severe exam ple, as would have been regdred if the governmest could have brought home the crime to its real author* at the time; and as no capital sentence has yet been carried into execution upon any tidies prisoner in Kaiser* daring the whole of the recent disturbances, and it is, In every respect, desirable, if possible, that these should now be suffered to close without even one person having been exe crated for any part he may have taken in them, and this, 'epe e:ldly after the calamities that have recently fallen upon the Kaffir nation, which, although brought on by their own sego, have yet been so heavy and terrible, that it Is Impossible to contemplate them without pity and concern—the High Commissioner directs that this sentence shall, in the came of each of the primmer', be commuted to imprisonment for twenty years with hard labour, Item the 19th day of Nov., 1857, being the date of their conviction.—G. Our, High Commissioner." With regard to Macomo, the part of the sentence which condemns him to hard tabour will not be enforced, in con alienation of his age end unfitness for such employment. The Commercial Advertiser and Mad has the following remarks on the necessity for a more effective supervision of the native population of the colony: " It is not less important that we ourselves should carefully examine our position with regard to the Kaffir". Instead of being driven backward over the Hsi, or the &Mee, as some had proposed, yielding to the European current, the great mos of what was once the Kaffir nation, includ ing the Fingoee, have slid through our advanced settlement., and are now farther scat than their tethers ever penetrated. The Kaffir' come unarmed, as suppliants, are legally restricted to service. We would not excite alarm, for we believe we are able to manage them. But no man can doubt that the presence of from thirty to forty thousand Kenya, and as many Fingoee, in the midst of a sparse population of greeters in so vast a country, re quires not only an organi sa ti on of burghers and volunteers, but a rural police far beyond our present establishment. For this parliament will have to provide, and as moat of the members must be personally aware of the existing dan ger, they may be expected to do se of actually." The Cape Town Advertiser has the following:— "By the northern post of Wednesday was received a very interesting publication from Hardman—the well-known station of the Rev. Mears. Moffitt and Ashton. It omelets of the three first numbers of the first newspaper published In the Beehuna language. It is issued monthly, is got up and printed by Mr. Ashton at the mission press on the station in the first style of typographio art, and, if not very intelligible to the Rtigilah reader, premises in its large type to be both legible enough and intelligible enough to its Bechuana subscribers.

A meeting of the met berm of the Reform Union of Birmingham wee held on Monday night, for the purpose of taking into consideration the present position of politicel afikirs consequent on the resignation of Lord Palmerston. Mr. G. EDMONDR, the clerk of the peace, presided. Mr. BIDDOWS, in moving the first resolution, said that when they found their national independence interfered with at the call of • foreign . potentate it wee time for Englishmen to take the initia tive, and put it out of the power of government to do what they attempted to do the other day, He we. glad the attempt did not succeed, and he was proud of the men who had been instrumental in defeating the ministry on such a measure. (Cheers.) With respect to reform, he found that the movement bad been taken up In other towns, and he had no doubt the course pursued by Birmingham men at this juncture would be looked to with much interest as an example. He begged to move the fol lowing resolution That the beet thanks of this meeting be given to Mr. Gibson, Mr. Bright, Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Gladstone, and Lord 3. Russell, for the manner in which they opposed the ill-timed and insidious proposals of Lord Palmerston to interfere with the ancient laws of this coun try, under which foreigners have for so many centuries found a safe asylum from the religions and political persecu tions of ithdr own country ; and also to Mr. Scholefield and the other ninety-seven members who opposed the introdno lion of the bill." MS. JAMES TAYLOR seconded the proposition ' and in doing so observed that he joined in the general feeling of unshed= at the downfall of Lord Palmerston, and he cor dially concurred in the vote of thenks to the men who bad led the van of the opposition to the Conspiracy Bill. (Cheers.) Mr. J. S. WRIGHT next moved the following resolution: That although the Ministry of Lord Palmerston had promised • Reform Bill, yet the evident intention was either to make it a secondary natter or postpone Its ocamideratka altogether during the present session ; and that it is still more improbable that the present tory government will voluntarily extend the franchise, or give the people their biz abate of political power. It is therefore incumbent cm all liberal men throughout the country to Quite and heartily stms port that party in the hones who are prepared to enlarge the bode of repreuntation end who willpnimote such measwee of dvil and eccleeiseticial reform as are in accordance with the progressive spirit of the age and the advanced intelligence of the English nation." The hon. gentleman said he rejoiced that a minister who had all along been inimical to the eleva tion and enfranchisement of the potpie no longer held the mime of power. As to the Derby governmant, he disagreed with the opinion that any reform ball worth acceptation would be introduced by them. (Hear.) If Lord Derby did bring in a bill he would take good care of the counties, and pat the claims of the towns on one side. (Cheers.) Mr. Ocosor DAWSON, in a humorous and characteristic address, seconded the motion. He had never been, he ob served, an admirer of Laid Palmerston ; he never behevedhe was in earnest, and his theory as to his policy bad turned ant riAy correct. They had been all along taught to regard Palmerston as • spirited statesman, but he was an in tense oligarch, and be did not care stride for snubbing a prince or putties do wn a nationality. (Cheers.) Lord Palmerriton had all walked in the wrong path, and had never devi ated tote t he right—(laughter)--tad bad come to the mod miserable end that • minister could come to. ("Hear_ bear," and laughter.) ln fact he (Mr.. Daemon) celled Palmerston "The Bntesh Esan"—(much latigbter)—for he had been content to sell English liberty for a mess of French pottage ; but it was too hot foe him. (Renewed Laughter.) Speaking next of the new government, Mr. Dawson reed an extract from the ministerial announcement made by the Bed of Derby in the House of Lord, that evening, which bad been forwarded to him by telegraph, and said that ea it appeared to be Lord Derby's intention to proceed with the Conspiracy Bdt, they meet take are to have that measure finally de. tested before there was any hope of the introduction of a Re form Bill. (Loud cheers.) The next resolution was moved by Mr. PICXERINO, and ft wee to the following effect Thet the Reformers' Union offers a basis upon which the liberals of Birmingham may co operate, and then add their intinence to the movement which La now becoming to neral, and it in especially important that at this most critacal juncture all classes of reformers should merge their difikrences and unite in one great effort to obtain a redly effective and liberal measure of reform." Mr. Duomose seconded the motion, and it having beep supported by . Mr. Daleell and Mr. Fisher, it was put carried trnan sad nuona/y.—This concluded the proceedings. . THE WEATHER IN THE CHARNEL.
