The first exhibition is or ed to take:place in 1819, the second in 1821 ; the horsier in the halls and galleries of the Palate of the Louvre. A jury composed of five members is to l named*by the Secretary of State, for the purpose .• of, judging on the merits of the articles, and selecting such as may appear worthy of prizes, which are to consist; according to the degree of merit, of medals of gold, silver or bronze. Such a periodical exhibi tion of the national fabrics and manufactures will, 1 is MAJEsry thinks, be one of the most efficacious ivicasures that could be adopted for encouraging the Arts, exciting emulation, and accelerating the pro gress of industry. .The Sieur Pictros, Master in Ordinary of Re quests, is named by another Ordinance, Secretary- General to tilt: Ministry of Justice. ' The Lew Minister of Finance, Baron. Lours, with the view of giving an impulse to the operations of t the money market, has given public notice, that all . Thelialf-pay yearly dividends, not lower than 2,500' francs of rentes, and becoming due on the 22d of irlaich next, will be paid by anticipation, if required by the holders, on allowing a discount to Govern- ' meat at the rate of 5 per cent.

The. Journal do Doings gives a statement of the 'receipts of the different Theatres and places of public amusement in Paris during.the last.year ; which ex hibits d grand total of 5,000;000 francs (£208,385. 6s. Bd. English sterling). The tenth of all sums of admission to public places in Paris is appropriated , as our Readers are perhaps aware, to the benefit of the Poor ; so that the sum thus voluntarily could bated by pleasure and fashion to the cause of huma nity, during hot year, must have amounted. to 509,000 francs (£0,833.65. tid.) . Gazette of Berlin contains an official contra diction of a report which has been circulated is se- ' veal Papers, that in pursuance of the deliberations of the Courcil of State upon the Taxes, freedom of indistry had been abolished in the Prussien States. The new system is stated, on the contrary, to be founded or. a principle of entire freedom, and to have for its object to facilitate it by every possible means. no Neapolitan Government appears to be pr‘.r -. seeding actively in a general reform of its political institutions. A new judiciary organization was de creed by an Edict of the 20th of May last, which •has been already carritd into effect throughout the kingdom of Naples. In consequence of this organi- . • Tation, , all the seigrorial and communal jurisdictions . ('slmilar to the old hereditary jurisdictions of the highlands of Scotland) are suppressed, and the Tri- Ulnas and loyal Courts are placed on nearly the • • same footing as in France.—The Kisco satisfied with *l.the 'Sappy effects which this change has produced in the kingdom of Naples, has issued a new Decree, dated the 22d of December, extending the same sys .

Ibric have given way as much as 410 per tent. The crisis seems now fast approaching, when it is hoped That the raw material' will again - be boughr at peace prices. Ever since that event took place, prices have been buoyed up by false capital t at length the' mo nied interest have justly taken the alarm, and now mean to take the necessary precautions to check this system ; and some of the houses which were the largest purchasers in Liverpool and London, have been obliged, in a great measure, to suspend their operations. It was, .in fact, attempted to purchase every cargo on arrival ; but, fortunately for the Ma nufacturer, the real and nominal capital of the par ties were insuificieut to monopOlize the whele, as it came to market too quick to realize their views ; and hence the cause of the late depression in price. The immense high prices obtained in this country, induced the Planters in the United States, Brazils, &c. &c. where Cottons are produced, to increase to the utmost their cultivation, which has had a bene ficial effect; for the importation this last year has ex ceeded by full 20 per cent. that of any previous year. In 1810, when the imports were 561,000 bales, it had the effect of lowering the markets so that Bra zil Cottons were sold at from 12d. to 15d. Bowed Cotton from 9d. to 11d. Bengali 7d. to Bd. Surats 7d. to 9d. and others in the same prcportion. At this time freights - were' 2d. duties 91. per lib. and in suranee more than 5 per cent. higher than at present; therefore we should not be surprised, with the extended cultivation and the great decrease of duty and ex penses of bringing the article to market, to sec prices even lower than they were at that time; notwith standing which, we consider this a favourable time for capitalists to buy cotton fabrics, as we fully an ticiii:te that a portion of what is t.iken from the price lately obtained by the overgrown . Cotton Planter, will find its way into‘ the pocket of the poor weaver, in the shape of an advance upon his labour, and which will enable him to live upon his own in dustry without parish relief. The five-trader Prince Regent arrived on Friday at Portsmouth from the 3lauritius (laden with sugar), the Cape, and St. Helena—lc. t the Mauritius '2Bth April; the Cape 6th October, and St. Helena '26th November.

Notwithstanding the comparative briskness of trade for some time pa t, every one commiserates the for lorn ;old hopelesi nation of :he poor half-starved weavers, whu have recently tiyen compelled to s:. mit to a further reduction of ini..eraLle war. Their condition is truly wretched, being clrivelled to labour from five 1. the morning until ten at inik, and unable to procure even the common necessaries of life. All who could find the means to emigrate have within the 1:;st few months quitted their Native country in disgust, and others are preparing to fol. low; but the married men, many of whom havelarge families, arc compelled to remain, and to eke out their scanty unrningt by the grudgingly-doled aid (.1 relief.
