Bat is estimating the amount of the fall thus caw siseed. as well as the chance of its continuance or re armee, it wen wiser to look for the actual easel in the species, Wraiths before us, than to suck it down is a random category of results appsrestly flowing from one hated general source. We believe the export of wheat to this country from France to be properly referable rather to the continued paralysation of Frisch tonsures sad manufactures, sad in no degree whatever to the act of the British parliament in 1848. France in a natural condition of industrial ac tivity is as unlikely to send care to England an Eng. load is to lead cars to Ireland. Yet within the last two years both phenomena have occurred, owing to the operation of singular and p :i f igeoedented ciream. steamsquantitiesßut it is, in truth, perfectly notorious , that vast of wheat are in prosperous years im ported into the south of France; sad were it sot for the cessation of enterprise and the corresponding diminution of asasamption, all the wheat which is grown is the valleys of the Garonne and the Loire, would Ind iseassames at home and would fait to satisfy theta. The pries of on the Paris Bourse is a trees key to the seem- Paat.'s ethob-abesed open mosey leg entgamthan Sir Rosen . bill. Mosey is abundant while trade is still compa ratively dell, and the funds in sossequesee are higher than the coolidence of cautious men in the stability of things. But money gets weary at hiding itself in boles and corners. It craves employment of some kind, and when it cannot find sale and prodective modes of investment it whiles away its time by tralloking in the funds. This, to a certain extent, is tie ease just now i and we ..tribe to the same previs ion condition of our neighbours as a nation the transi tionetheapansof money and of corn. who can supra, that it is probable or esirable in the estimation of our commercial doom that importations of wheat from France will ently or frequently determine the price of =with us ? IA • should exceedingiy regret to see France become a grain exporting country. France can do much better, and for our parts we desire to see her ever doing the very best she can. Self-interest and friendship alike prompt this wish. The wealthier France be comes the more valuable will her custom be to as. She cannot produce more than her own necessities require, whether of wines, or silks, or other things which ecm supply cheaper and better than the rest of the world, without importing in exchange for them more of what we are in our tarn able to furnish on cheaper terms thin any other people. What is beet for one is best for both. This is the essential principle of free trade—the principle of in peace, progress, and good will. So far, therefore, from exulting in the sweet once of French wheat in our markets, we are rather disposed, on the part of the trading and mean. factoring interest, to regret such an evidence of pro longed depression among our industrial fellow labourers—rivals we will not call them. We look for imports to a reasonable extent from America and the Black Se*, not with any exaggerated expectation of their power to cheapen for us the cost of the prime necessaries of life, but in the more moderate and 'seared hope that the price of bread to the 'abseiling man will be steadier and more reasonable than= been in put years, and that thereby the stoppage of remunerative employment and the of relative augmentation of pauperism may be seeistoi less frequent and less formidable. And if in the gradual development of this salutary change—a change the most truly coesaystive that has been made in our time—lands that ought never to have been pat under wheat crops cease to be so tilled, we own that the fact will not shake in the least our fidelity to the great cams which we have always advocated. If such lands will not grow wheat, they will grow other crops for which the settled comfort and luxury of the community will of amerity *rests an increased demand. The change et culture is already going on to a very great extent, and with eminent success. In Ireland, =a= LARCOIeiI statistical returns for 1841 s show, there is already a large decrease of cereal mop, and a more than corresponding incresse of goes crops of different kinds. In Scotland oar song & kinsfolk are already" going with the times," trusting less to grain sad more to bases feeding. Aad,ls England, wherever there is individual pluck and pre deuce, the same coarse will he adopted. Holland and Belgium are =evincing examples of whet may be done in the way of probable husbandry la the face of immense importations annually st fangs corn. The agriculture of the Netherlands is a proverb for its excellence, while the properties I yielded in rent is upon an average quits as musk V not more, than that which is paid by the insecure and panic-stricken farmers of England. To say that the consult of change is not deep and strong, is an old wife's tale; to say that with courag e sad constancy we may not safely swim serves it, is the fabled a Wes oriermelke. CALIFORNIA. There is much speculation abroad in relation to the political future of California. Many believe that having acquired the necessary strength to stand alone, she wilt fling off her present flimsy oonnexion with the United States, and set up a re pu blic, u the Americans say. on her " own hook." Her great dis tance from the mother country, and the fruitful re scorner—elements of independence—within herself would seem to lend plausibility to this theory; and we have no doubt that there are strong minds at work to bring it about. A few powerful men in the United States are at the bottom of this design ; and at the bead of them is Colonel Benton, a celebrated demo crat of the west, the "Old Bullion" of American political phraseology, and the democratic candidate for the nest presidency. Colonel Benton'e leading motive in this affair is said to be simply one of per sonal aid family aggrandisement; and his object is to have a country of his own. The thought with him is by no means new. It passed into his mind long before he knew that he was to be a candidate for the presidency of the Union; and what change this new position may have brought about in his views, remains to be seen. He may still desire the independence of California, knowing that his own eon-in-law, Fremont, would be almost certain of being elected the first Californian President. This would be a proud position for the "Old Bul lion" of the democracy—ruling the republic of the Atlantic federation, while his son-ia-law presided over the destinies of the Pacific. A few biographic historic facto may render these names and supposi tions more intelligible to our readers, who may be tempted to inquire, who is Colonel Benton, that can accomplish all this P and who is Colonel Benton 's son-in-law Fremont? We will satisfy them on this head. Colonel Benton, we have already etas& is the present democratic candidate for president. Ha is, and has been for many years, a senator from the state of Missouri—promfuent in the senate chamber for a boldness in attempting, and a dogged persever ance in carrying through whatever Afoot may wan - Vote to his own or his party's influence. He is prominent, moreover for a gooi stock of knowledge, which he is wont to display in a species of bellying and insolent eloquence. Some years ago Lieutenant Fremont, a young officer of temograpiiiral ran away with his daughter and ' her. " Old Bullion .

At leagtk this principle was revealed. The philosophers of Europe 1= show themselves worthy of their aame—lovers of not of mail. They were found memmicating knowledge to each other, salmi each other for aid, each feariog osly lest he Weald be forestalled in successfal research. Cadet this new spent the was rapid indeed. In the lath amatory, and that w followed it, the additions made to our seleatille knowledge were more than tenfold that which had ever preceded it. But though so much was effected in this, the first epoch in the action of association, a further development of the peinciplas became necessary ; the age to which he had refund was succeeded by the ego of philosophical societies, and still were the results additioaally importaat. Their organisation—their numbers—gave them a permanent power of action ; their pecuniary resources enabled them to prosecute inquiries farther than they had ever bees extended before ; still more rapid, therefore, was the progress made under this phase of association. (Applause.) Amongst other great howls—the greatest given to the world, was that of the principle of publishing transactions; Rader ordinary circumstances many of them would never otherwise have bond publicity; others would have been entirely neglected by the au. hors themselves. Th is began with Newt.. ; he stood alone. AU alter kin was light and distinct; all before him Oarless., and twilight. The socie ties ultimately became, with the advancing spirit and de meads of the age, unladen's% ; to some extent, instead of serving slimes, they retarded it. They were to a certain extent of an exclusive diameter, when ace room in Losdos would contain ail the lovers of ;clines that that metropolis afforded. And there were more escietles la existence for the promotion of seisms than there were devoted to its study at the close of the last century ; there might have been toe, some tendency to set up an aristocracy of science, but senses was of all others one of those things in the world that did not admit an aristocracy oily within its reach. For his pert, he (Professor Robinson) had established auxiliary societies wherever kis voice was listened to or his influence reached, althoogh he agreed in the principle that to split up the associatioes in each way that each studied only ass branch of science was a slap in the wrong direction. The Roy al Society, at the outset, merely collected facts, and that, too, without much discretion; but as facts accumulated it became even more important to compare than to eeriest: ultimately, and after various change., and, as seemed, were consideratioe, they had fallen into the right path in the establishment of this association. interfering with no other, bat seeking to identify themselves with all as nun se possible they admitted the eitanaaniesat of philosophical traaactions to other amocia less to this association as a matter of right.

CITY OF LONDON BOARD OF HEALTH. THE CHOLERA. The effinthlttee cm health ageoftbled, npOn the summons of the Right Hewes* Lord Mayor, stale Maasion house, Mr. DARKEST to the chair. The followiag letter from the Spud of Health weaned by the Clark: The General Board et Health, Gwyelyr-how, Whitehall, Sept. 12. 1849. My Lard,—The General Beard of Health haviag received a unisaueloation from the solicitor and of of health of the eorporation of the City of London, 'availing se to the sufficiency of the mesas for the prevetttien of cholera in the thine city union', have directed me to state, for your lot& ship's intensities', that the armigness** made is these unions have all along been most inadequate and unsatistaer tort' and move especially in the parishes of the City of Loa d= Union. In no ORO atheist perishes does it appear, eve. at the present moment, that the sauna which the widest experience his shows to be essential for stayiag the of the disease have been carried into effect, and the =Trays reseal to believe that the consequence of Ws neglect have bees severe sabring end loss of life. Theguar diens of the C.ty of London union have not earned oft the orders of the board for instituting a system of been to home visitation, and they have slat a communication respecting them of each a asters es to compel the board to iastitfte legal proceedings for their enforcement. But as the= medlar involve all the evils of delay, it is the opinion of the board that if prompt measures were adopted by the corporation of the City of London, for carrying into effect • system of regular house to house visitation the most Important services would be rendered to the population, and more especially to tee poorer chases within the city jietion. and loin of life be prevented. The board have directed their medical inspector, Me. Grainger, to attend the gusting of the health committee of the council to morrow, aid to give fall information as to the present state of the arrangements within the City ; and they trust that the existing deficiencies will be supplied by the voluntary and humane exertions of the City corporation.— I have the honour to be, my lord, your lordship's most obe dient servant, ALNX. BAIN, Assistant Secretary. His LORDSHIP was sure the committee would ooesider that he was bound, after having read such a commacioatios, to call them together as dily as possible to decide as to the beet mode of ng for the purpose of preserving the public health. He was convinced that on such an cou sin the Court of Common Council would not take into con sideration the question of expense, and he felt no hesitation in taking upon himself the responsibility, with the sanction of the committee u that court was not siting, of appointing medical assistants to perform the visitation recommended by the board. (Heir.) Mr. GRAINGER, upon being asked by the committee whether he had any communication to make, said he had been instructed by the General Board of Health to submit to the committee the measures which appeared to him to be met desirable under the existing emergency. He then read a paper, in which the appointment of medical venters, for the purpose of carrying out a system of house to home visitation, was strongly recommended m the most efficient plan for checking the spread of cholera. In proof of this, it was stated that — Doctor Gavin, superintendent of the Bethnal-green dis trict reports that the visitor', four in number, in the week In which they have been engaged in the servo», have dis covered no fewer than 1,671 cases of diarrhea, 67 cute of rice-water purging—that is, cases closely approaching te cholera—and 89 cases of oboists. Out of the tits' number of diarrhea cases there have been only 2 deaths, and out of the cases approschieg to cholera there has been only I death. In the districts under visitation, in the three weeks preceding the adoption of this system, the deaths from cholera were successively 98, 128, 129; in the week during which this system has been in operation, the deaths from cholera have been 65. The whole of the cases disoovered by the visite boa, the diarrhccal cases, the cases approaching to cholera, and the cases even of developed cholera, had, up to the period of the visitation, been without any medical assistance. The paper also contained reports from the superintendents of leveret °thee districts, in which statements of a similar character were made. The paper then proceeded as follow.: NUMBER fiF VIBITORB.—In the present Moto of the et demi., I should recommend that 18 extra medical visitors appointed for one month, and to be thus distributed: West London Union . 8 City of London East London I have the utisfaction of stating that the board of nae dins of the East London Union, in aftordanes with a recommendation I made yesterday stoat promptly appointed four extra medical visitors at their meeting hold an hour sub 'equinely. The experience of a few days will show whether the number of visitors above recommended be suffieient, and whether they are proper.y distributed. The average weekly of deaths 'carding to the return, of the registrar-general during the last three weeks is as follows: West London Union 4O City of London Union 2B But London Union 26 DaroTti OR DlMMNOnalitii.—lt will be essential to ascer tain without delay whether the existing provision for the supply of medicines without charge or hindrance to the poor at all hours, day and night, he sufficient ; if net an addition must be made in this respect. Mr. GRAINGER then proceeded to recommend the esta blishment of hospitals ler cholera patients, and pieces of refuge for the families of persons dying el the malady in overcrowded houses in low neighbourhoods; but the le Mayor and the members of the committee wens of opinion that after the prone Dogs of the Court of Common Conn :a, at their last mating, the committee were not entitled to entertain those questions. After some conversation, • Mr. WIRE proposed a roolation, directing the officers of health to appoint a proper staff of medical officers to con duct the house to house visitation theceighout the city . The motion wail seconded by Mr. Yong, and was unanimously aoopted. Mr. Wrath proposed and Mr. Marratzwe seconded a rem lotion recommending the issue of a friendly address to the iuhabitante, similar to that which had been circulated with so much effect in 1832. The reselutlon was carried, and it was referred to the chairman and the mover and seconder to carry it into execution. Mr. GRAINGER felt it to be hie duty to athletes the chief magistrate of the City, end the committee of the como ration of the first city in the world, for perhaps the last time he might have occasion to see them. He had laid before them with a degree of earnestness and boldness, which nothing but the pecullarity . of his situation could justify, • candid statement of his opinion as to the measures Mika were required to meet the present emergency. Be was sorry to say that the exertions of the board had had to en counter opposition of the mat formidable character. He appealed to the corporation to exert its great powers at this importaht crisis. It seas his duty as • man, and as a Christian, to point out the paramount importance of using great exertion to stay the ravages of a disease which in its malignant and fatal character had had no ftrallel since the great plague, aid having does this, he must leave the can in the heeds of his lordship and the members of the court. • The Lord Mayor and memben of ells oceramittes gave him their menace that his recommendations should receive their best attention. Mr. Simon then received his instructions from the com mittee, and intimated his determination to pot them into immediate execution. —Adjourned.
