General Cameron has cheerfully einepted the mission to St. Petersburg et the re quest el the Presides* end the name of Mr. Stanton as his enceenew in the War derwtment is said to have been sug gested by Mr. Cameron himself. In the Senate on the 13th, as usual, several peti tions for the emancipation of slaves were pre sented. In the Senate, on the 14th, Mr. Grimes called up the bill providing for the release of fugitive slaves fress the gaol of the district of Ccdnnibia. This led to a long debate on the negro question, and finally the bill parsed by a vote of thirty-one against four. The House bill for the relief of the owners of the British ship Perthshire was passed, and the Senate ' adjourned. The House of Representatives resumed the con sideration of the bill to abolish the franking privi lege, and, after a lengthy discussion, passed it by a vote of 107 against 42. In the eurowittee of the whole house, the bill making en appropriation of 36,1500 dollars for the exhibition of American products at the Loudon International Exhibition, was taken up, and a lively debate followed in reference to the relations with Great Britain. Mr. LOVEJOY (Republican), of Illinois, said—l am very decidedly opposed to this bill. 1 think it is enough for us in all cotonence to have been humbugged, and dishonoured. and (Ilene:ea by the British nation, without uow apps" printing :1.1,000 dole for the purpose of au American mad- Intim there. Mr. Metter; (Republimn), of Illinois *aired if it had been through the action of the British government or of their own that they had been thus dishonoured and disgraced? LOVIJOY —I understand how it was done. That dis grace was all that the nation could bear. We matched up to it sweating great drops of blood. We tame to it as Christ went to the aias , saying, " it be possible let this cup pin (ergo us; " and yet we are required to say that we 11.1 it cheerfully. that we did it gladly, and that we now eppropriate thankfully 3.5,000 dole to dt out commissioners to appear at the Court of St. James's. Inesniech as we have submitted to that disgrace, as we have submitted to be dishonoured by Great Britain, I think the least we can do is to acknowledge it, and to stay at home till the time manes when we can whip that nation. Then I will be willing to go and appear at their World's Exhi bition. Every time that I think of that surrender the words come instinctively to me which Amiss used, when requested by Queeu Indo to rehearse the guttering* which t i a b e f a ll e n the Trojans dining tho siege and capture of Troy : "oh Queen, you require me to renew the intolerable gria of that siege by re-acting it." Every time that the Trent affair comes op—every time that an allusion is made is it—every time that I have to think of it, that expression of the tortured and agonised Trojan exile C0.,W0 to my lips. I am made to renew the horrors which I suffered when the news of the surrender of Mason and Slidell reached us. I acknowledge I literally wept tears of vexation. I Arta it, an I I hate the British government. I here now publicly avow and record that hate, and declare that it shell be unestinguishable. mean to cherish it while I live, and to bequeath it to my children when I die, and if I am alive when war with Ear land comes, and if I can carry a musket in that war I will mem it. I Lave three sons, and I mean to charge them, stud do now charge them, that if they shall have at that ' time reached the years of manhood and strength, they shall I ester into that war. I believe there was no need for that surrender, and I believe that the nation would rather have gone to war with Great Britain than have suffered the disgrace of bring insulted sad Ming thus unavenged. I have not reached the 'Will unties of Christianity, that exaltation of Christianity which allows me to be insulted , abused, mod dishonounth las bear all that as a Christian, but to say that 1 du it cheerfully is more than las linug myself to. I treat in God that the time Is not far distant when we shall have summand this rebellion, and be prepared to avenge and wipe out this insult that we have received. We will thee silir up helmet, we will appeal to the chartists of England ; me 'Mtge to the old French heshitnit. of Canada ; we will Isla beads with France and Russia to take away the I IMAM pemses.ions of that proud empire, and will take sue r *a NOWI2 from that governmeet before we cease. I is Gad that that time will come. I trust the appro. platter will be voted &mu. One of our commissioners, I understeed, is the individual who writes these 'dement lotion asking us to submit to insult cheerfully, to smile at this bitter cup, drugged with the bitterest ingredients that were ever pressed to human lips—and mot to make a face about it ! I doe't believe there was thy necessity for this semester. lam strongly inclined to believe that we should have bees all the stronger for this difficulty with Great Bri tain, for it would make ns feel the neceseity of making short work with the rebels." The bill was finally laid on the table by a large majority, and the hove suljourlied. OPENING OF THE TRENCH LEM SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR. (The followisg appeared is aearly the whole of oar ha p of yesterday d PARIS, Moamar. The Emperor opened the session of the Legisla ture at the Palace of the Louvre this day. The Im va.?uerescLw...trur.fogr:urs D6put4B,—The year which has just pa'ased has witnessed, despite certain anxieties, the consolidation of peace. All the rumours designedly propagated upon imaginary pretensions, have fallen - of themselves before the simple radii)? of facts. 'My relations with foreign Powers give we the most entire satisfaction, and the visit of several Sovereigns has further contributed to strengthen our ties of friendship. The King of Prussia, by coming to France, has been enabled to judge for ' himself of our desire to unite still further with a government towards pn:greas with .

Nothing can result from this conflict of a nature to alter confidence in the future. " Free from foreign pre-occupations, I have more especially directed my attention to the state of our finances. A sincere exposition has made you ac quainted with their real state. On this subject I shall say but few words. The public has been struck with the amount of 963,000,000 fr. which the floating debt has reached ' • but this debt, limited as it will be he n ceforward, h as nothing to disturb as, for it reached this amount before 1848, when the revenues of France were far from approximating to their present amount. Moreover, deduct from this sum in the first place the 6b2,000,000fr. which burdened the state at a period anterior to the Empire •, in the next place, the 78,000,000 fr. repaid to the owners of Relates, at the period of conversion ; lastly, the 238,000,000 fr. the uncovered totals which have been occasioned iu the last two years by distant expeditions, and which it would have been possible to get by a loan-and it will be seen that sines Ike establishment of the Empire, thanks, it is tree, to consolidations successively effected, the uncovered balances have not increased in proportion to the necessities which had to be provided fur, and the advantages obtained during teu years. "In act, gentlemen, it would not be right to forget the increase of expenses required by the annual service of the loans contracted for two wars which have not been without glory ; the 622 millions employed by the Treasury in great works of public utility, indepen dently of the three milliards applied by com panies to the finishing of 6,683 kilometres of *l - ; the easoution of taegraphie lines titration of the condition of almost all the servants of the State ; the augmentation of the welfare of the soldier ; the cadres of the army, adjusted to what the dignity of France requires in time of peace ; the transformation of the fleet and of all our artillery neute'riel ; the rebuilding of our religious edifices and public monuments. These expenses have com municated to all useful works throughout the empire a fruitful impulse. Rave we not seen the cities transformed, the lands enriched by the progress of agriculture, and our foreign commerce raised from two milliards 600 millions to five milliards 800 millions 1 In fine, by the increase alone of public prosperity the revenues of the State have increased by several hundreds of millions. This recapitulation shows us all the extent of the financial resources of Frances ; and yet, whatever was the origin of the uncovered balances, however legitimate the expenses, it was prudent not to increase them any further. To this end I have proposed to the Senate a radi cal means which confers upon the Corps Legialatif a greater power of control and associates it more and more with my policy. But this measure was not, as may be easily perceived, an expedient for lightening my responsibility. "It was a spontaneous and serious reform which was to force us to economy. In giving up the right of opening supplementary and extraor (earp credits between session and session, it was yet essential to reserve the power of providing for unforeseen necessities. The system of transfers furnished the means, and it has the advantage of limiting this power to really urgent and indispens able ueceseities. " The strict application of this new system will aid us in placing our financial regime upon unshakeable bases. I rely upon your patriotism and intelligence to second my efforts by an earnest concurrence. The budget will be presented to you at the commencement of the session. It is not without regret that I have decided on proposing to you the re-arrangement of many imposts, but I am convinced that through the increase of our revenue the aggravation will be only temporary.

The pit here was deserted this morning, there being few people about, and desolation and misery reigns over all. It is not known what will be done to attempt to clear the mine of water, which is rapidly rising in the working, or whether it will be attempted to work ft again. But it is known that the accident will be a ruinous affair for the owners, lbw& Carr Brothers. The explosion at 'Standen, two pen sae, is known:to have cost Henn. Bowersaad Co., of Lour, its owners, no lee a sum than 10,0001. before it was re. stored to its working state again. The loss to Minn. Carr by this dreadful secideot at Hartley at this moment cannot bs conjestored, but it will be a very large sum. The stream of benevolence is flowing in from all parts of the country to swell the fund that is being raised for the bereaved fami lies. There is one widow lee than in the returns made last week. A wile of one of the lest men was very ill of con sumptien at the time that her binary:id made his last fatal dement into the mine.

The fifth general meeting of the members of this society was bald last evening the society's rooms, in Waterloo-place, R. P. COLLIER, ~ M.P., in the chair, for the purpose of hearing • paper be Mr. G. Hastings, oss " The Marriage Laws of the United Kingdom." The paper commenced by declaring the desirability of thaimilatiog the marriage laws at the United Kingdom, width at present widely differed. There way three mow tad conditions necessary to a good marriage law—firstly, publicity ; secondly, certainty ; and thirdly, an authentic record. The paper then reviewed the marriage laws in England from the Anglo-Saxon period down to the present time—they being now, it was said, in • tolerably satisfactory state. The state of Irish law was not se satisfactory, inas much as by the net of Gee. It. any marriage performed by a Roman catholic priest, where the parties were not both Roman catholic', was considered illegal. Lord Campbell, last session, bad introduced • bill which, when it became law, would remedy this evil. In other respects the law in England and Ireland was similar. It was in Scotland that the greatest dissimilarity existed in the marriage law, and which required, in the interests of morality, immediate alteration. The law of Scotland recognised three systems of marriage, the first a regular marriage before witnesses in church, the other two irregular, viz., by a verbal contract between the man and woman in the presence of a witness, and the marriage by repute, or where a man cubs- hada with • woman, and chase to nay in public she was his y o rlon wh e ofh wife. The paper contended this was a wrong upon the wo man, instancing the Dalyrmple and Mouotgarret mums as example& It was the source of unch s atity amongst ; the lower pre srome naed s, a to nd . th g e re ca at im a e u o e f i t te he nt f a rrodnguliPanKmdi women in Scotlaud. The paper contended that this immo- rality could only be checked, and a proper protection given to the women of Scotland, by at once assimilating the marriage law in that country to the other parts of the kingdom. A long and interesting discussion ensued, in which Meths. Wingfield, Flood. Rochfort Clarke, E. Webster, James Hay wood, and the Chairman, took part—Messrs. Clarke and Webster defending the Scotch law, and contending that int morality existed to as great aa extent in England as in Scotland. Mr. HASTINOR replied, contending that there were more illegitimate children born in Scotland than in England in proportion to the population, which be considered a sign of greater immorality. A vote of thanks WAS given to Mr. Hastings for his paper, which was ordered, to be printed, and the meeting concluded. DISASTERS; tic Tux lixsi CIIAIRIEL.—The gale of last week in the Irish Channel has caused an amount of damage to shipping which was not at first anticipated. It appears that a violent hurricane raged almost without in termission on Wednesday night and Thursday, causing much devastation on the Welsh and Irish waste. Already a very great number of disasters have been reported at Lloyd's. The Black Ball line ship Indian Ocean was lite rally smashed to pieces at Mineheed, some ten miles south east of Waterford, and little of her cargo or wreck is ex pected to be saved. The Fury (steam tug), from Milford, with the Jules in tow, a quantity of floating wreck, apgareatly from a ship or barque. Also passed • ship eateries with tackles bound on. The Thornhill, from Car diff for Halifax, has returned with decks swept, boats washed overboard, cook drowned, and several of her crew • disabled. )L NAVAL 11881 EVE. TIM On Saturday, a number of gentlemen, shipowners, &idolises ebbed the Berstiags, of Liverpool, for the purpose of seeing the men of the Naval Reserve, about 8 in number, drill The men were first of all put through sighting prac tice at • mechanical target, fixed 'tween decks, which rolls end heaves as • Tema would do in • sea way, and which records the result of the aim, good,_bad. or indifferent- A popular ex-mayor who was co board was successful in hit tang the bull's eye. It wee pleasant to see the earnest member in which the ?nineteen went through their duties. The visitors then descended to the main deck to witness the drill with 32-pounder guns. The men were first put through handspike drill, and the eroartners and alacrity with which they performed it could warmly be surpassed. They then went through the operation of sponging, loading, aiming, and firing, without • miake, and with • minimum of prompting. In "quick time " they loaded and fired three tames in fifty eight woods. The mounting and duimounting • heavy gun were also performed must satisfactorily. And yet many of these men have only . bees at drill for a few days. The cut lass and ride exercises followed. At the termination of the drill all the Men were paraded.

Now, I must confess, with all those reasons for jailing the weave, my =pros is that in the fourth year •Of its existence Is should not have reached one-third of its unloose strength. It is true there were old, preju dices to remove, and imeddenee to gain, but this scarcely mationnes few the indifference Jack has shown in this quarter* swept the great boon which is offered bun. We are far behind every other seaport of any note. Your nunabers are entarigy disproportionate to the extent of our ieeferlig population, and I cutlet help thinking if the ehipearsers and captains of the port exercised a little mane penual interest ia the matter, and gave a pro femme to naval reserve men, with an extra pay of, say N. to 10s. per month, they wodti be giving powerful ancomageownt to you, while they would be doing the State good terve= and beaefitting themselves at the SUM time. Within the past four wee* an usstauce of the value of the rem* to the iseroutile marine came ender my notice. It became advisable to arm the vessels of aa important mail Its. in whisk lam satereated, on the wed nese of death America ; the guns were obtained, but the Admiralty could spare no men to work them ; the Weal reserve was suggested, and four sod twenty very fine young men volunteered to go out as seamen; they will be shortly distributed through the company's fleet, prepared not only to work the game, but to teach every other seaman to do so in their respective ships. Expe nse* teaches us that the true way to preserve peace is to be prepared for war, sad I believe that the system of reserves which is being established will prove the most inexpensive, and at the same time the greatest safeguard wheels we possess. I believe the system to be capable of immune extension, and see no reason why it should not embrace in souse one class or other of a reserve, every =amen in the British merchaut service cenahle of being tram= to gueuery. AB that is uow wanted to imitate such a system is dm airehlishment of national training ships fur the education of boys to recruit the Naval reserve and cement the two services in one bond of union and beemosy. Day by day we we the navy and mermaids marine brought closer together, soil the value of the latter more recognised. Look at the service the mercantile ma rine reedited the country within the past month, when, without in the least interfering with the ordinary trade of the country, it conveyed in the depth of mid-winter an army complete in every respect across the wild Atlantic, and would have taken 60,000 men as easily as it conveyed 10,000. One ship of that fleet penetrated within a few hours of the heart of Capsule, and landed her living freight in defiance of every obstructiou. We have insane on record of generals receiving the favour, of their sovereign for ming troops through intricate countries; but the gallantry of Captain Judlcius mid 'the import** of his undertaking (had we been at war with America) will contrast not unfavourably with any similar operation, and I hope that the mercantile marine my menu in the palms of Captain Judkius some suitable acksowledgmeut from the government of the impede= monies which Le rendered during an abxuuua and critical emergesey. It has afforded us very great pleasure to hoar Oaptiun Luckcraft speak its such favourable terms of your weeduct while under his care. I hope, whoa you separate from him, you will show the tame resistance to tempta tion, sad that you will, one and all, endeavour to maintain flee high character which the force is attaining for steadi ness and good conduct, and that you will always consider it to be au honour and a privilege to be a member of the Meal Reserve of Reigned. /Ir. Graves was frequently interrupted by subdued but earnest expressions of satisfaction from the men, and, at tie conclusion of his address, one of them came forward, sod iu a very respectful manner hugged permimion to say few wade Ho alluded warmly to Captain Luckcr a ft 's kind treatment of them, and then proceeded to explain a Off en* in which it was evident his comrades usani mown concurred, that British seamen were not fairly treated by shipowners. He said that tho port wag swarin km with foreign seamen, and that owing to im mrinfluences exercised by boarding-howee keepers were preferred to Lliglislimen. Perhaps it was because British seamen would not put up with the brutal treatment on board ship which foreigners endured. lie hoped and trusted that shipowners would look to this matter, end assorted that some of Lis comrades bad been out of employment for mouths. He also expressed a hope that the men of the reserve, by their discipline sad effici ency, would endeavour to raise the character of the British seamen at home and *read. He then respectfully with drew. Mr. RLIIKIN, chairman of the Hersey Docks and Harbour Board, next &dammed a few words to the wen, telling them he thought that shipowners should not only give ;inference to the men of the Naval Reserve, hut that they deserved se. a month extra. His remarks were enthusiastically received. Another of the seamen then cause forward and spoke much in the same strain as his comrade bad done, foreign seamen being evidently their Wu noir. Previously to the men being dismissed, Captain Sproule pointed out the ad ventage of belonging to the Naval Reserve, and alluding to the employment of foreigners, advised the men always to weer their uniform caps, soil Waned of seeking employment at the Sailors' Home, to call at the offices of the slopowurs. He expressed • hope that the ulcers of the mercutile marine would not be backward in forming the reserve. The men then dispersed with three cheers. SOUTH YORKSIIIHZ COAL THAD' AND RAILWAY BATE& —The new MIS for coal on the various lines con nected with the South Yorkehir• coalfields has rimed the neatest dissatisfaction azoonpt the colliery proprietors. On Friday, • meeting of the colliery oilmen who are con nected with the Groat Northern was held at the Hines Head Hotel, Barnsley. Nearly every firm on the line was represented, and we understand a unanimous opinion was arrived at as to the course to he takes. On the Blan chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire HIM the new rates have also met with the en-ingest opposition, notwith. 'Articling that the company Las thrown the trade open, their own contract with the Barley Vale collimie haying expired.. In some instances the increase has been as much as 6d. per ton for 20 miles. In sums instances the remonstrances of the owners have been stwocisful io ob taining a return to the old rates. But the general feeling is that Wes ought to be in every way permanent, so as to allow entracte to be made on a sure basis. Many of the largest collieries in the district are working but two or throe • days per week.—Manchcster Guardian. I .1!
