MONEY Y et A K T .41..1, o' tr...r:TAL NIT:LLTOT.Ne CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday manifested a rather flat ap pearance, and rriees of all descriptions wee folly id. per lb. lower. The sales were estimated at 4,000 bales, 500 of which were taken by the exporters. The principal portion of the gold received by the Oliver Lang has been purchased for transmission to the Continent. The only purpose to which these remittances are applied, so far as can be ascertained, is the purchase of silver intended for export to India. The steamers trading between the Conti nent and this country bring small consign ments of silver every day, and the consequEnce is that shipments of gold are made from this side. When the value of the metal thus received is calculated, it is found that the weekly shipments of gold to France and Belgium are to a corresponding extent. Mails to India being now dispatched every week, there is a continuous demand, and thus the public must be prepared for a partial diversion of our imports of gold from Amer;ca and Australia. The receipts from the former country are now rather smaller, and the bullion iu the New York city bunks is r ipidly in creasing. The la , e,t a 1 vices A:ate that the tot,l reserve was considerably larger than ever before known, namely, upwards of six millions sterling ; it was thought that the exports were likely to diminish rather than increase. Even if there is a diminution in the supplies from that quarter, however, no doubt can be entettained but that those from Australia will be main - aiuedonan exten sive scale, and the vessels already due will bring amounts which mug ensure a further augmentation of the bullion in the Bank of England. It is alleged that the specie in the Bank of France has considerably increased during the month, and the return which will be published to-morrow is expected to show an improvement in that department, and also a decrease.in the discount operations of the establish ment. A report has been issued by the Van Dieman's Land Company, which states that during the year only 1,0001. has been received from the colony, and no dividend is, therefore, prop 'std. A dividend of 4s. in the p mud is announced by Messrs. Lichtenstein and Co., German merchants, 'Who failed at the close of list year. At the annual meeting of the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Land Cinspany, to-diy, a report Was read stating that the sales of land i❑ the past year had been 4,458 acres, against 3,368 acres in 1856, being an increase of 1,090 acres, at 4s. bid. per acre. The sum rsalised was 1,0021. There Was no dividend made on the occasion, and the report was adopted. Very little business is reported in the Discount Market, the supply of bills bring liwited. At the same time, however, they are rather more numer ous than they were, a slight improvement being apparent in some branches of trade. The Bank of England Directors, at their meeting to -day, made no alteration in their discount regu lations. There is still a heavy tone pervading the Stock Markets, and the prices tend downwards in the absence of much business. Indeed, the very limited character of the speculation is enough to %use flatness ; but, when the anxiety respecting Political affairs is added, no surprise can be felt at the drooping appearance of the Funds. Consols hat's been 96i 97 for mcnPy, and 965 97 for account. A special transfer of the New 3 per Cents. has been made at 97 3 / 4 . Exchequer Bills are about 3 4 to 42a. prem. ; and the Bonds, 100/ to 1011. Transactions in the Foreign stock Market are limited, but prices do not exhibit any variation. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 101 to 101 i ; ditto 4 per Cents., 1035104 ; Mexican 3 per Cents., 20 ; Peru- Vian 4 3 / 4 per Cents., 80i ; Russian 41 per Cents., 9 91 100 ; Spanish P4s.ive, 6,1; Belgian 4 3 / 4 per tents., 99/ ; Dutch 2i per Cents, 66 ; Ditto 4 per Per Cents., 101.

FINAL EXAMINATION OF BERNARD. The fourth and final examination of Simon Bernard. who stands charged with being concerned in the late attempted assassination of the Emperor Napoleon on the 14th of January last, took place this morning. The passage leading to the court was densely crowded, and, in a very short time after the opening of the door, the court was crowded to excess. Mr. Bodkin appeared to conduct the prosecution on the part of the Treasury, and Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoner. The French vice-consul, Sir Richard Mayne, the Chief Commisioner of Police, and several other persons occupied seats on the bench. The first witness called, was Mr. Edward Chambers Nieholsen, one of the firm of Simpson and Co., of Kennington, wholesale chemists and proprietors of the Atlas Works at Walworth—said the firm are engaged in making fulminating powder for the Government to a large extent. Thr powder is composed of one part mercury, from 8] to 10 of nitric acid, and from 81 to 8A- alcohol. Those are the limits-8/ would be a gallon of alcohol. The strength of the alcohol would be 64 overproof. Eight parts of absolute alcohol and water makes proof spirit. Nine pounds absolute alcohol, ten pounds of pure nitric acid, and one pound of mercury would be the ingredients to make fulminating powder. The powder would be highly explosive. We always keep it wet, it is then harmless, but before it can be used for explosive pur poses it must be dried. It, chi e f application is in the preparation of percussion caps. Both nitre and alcohol are used for photographic purposes. In the collodion process they are not used in combination. Q is not used in the ordi nary p h otographic process. I t is, in the dauerrotype, but in this incense I believe neither of the other article s are used. The latter process i s almost superseded. oicksilver Jean Decaille—l reside in the Rae Lafitte, Paris. I was near a chemist's shop soon after the explosion took place on the 14f1 of June. I saw a man come out of the shop. He was wounded in the head, and blood was flowing from the wound, I have since seen Orsin i in Paris. He is the man. The shop is about 150 yards from the Emperor's entrance to the opera in the Rae Lepellitier. Leon Diet—l reside in Paris, In Jane last I was a waiter in a restuarant in the Rue Lepellitier. It imme diately faces the French Opera-house. I heard the explosion, and directly afterwards about fifry persons came into the cafe wounded. I recollect one man in particular, he same in crying ; he remained about two hours. I have since seen Gomez in Paris. He is the man. He was taken away by the police. After he left. the house was searched, and a revolver pistol with five barrels was found. It was loaded a n d h ad a cap on it. t e i r fi e ed it as one h e found ] produced a p i sto l an d t h e ° Ea t o m r ii Saud atimmediately e i r d s a h By Mr. Sleigh—lmmediately I f oun d the pistol I wi [ tn r es s a Pe i gave it to the police. I have seen the pistol since I gave it to the police. It was in Paris. I made no mark on it. A number of new pistols were laid on the table ii the court nefore me and I selected the one produced from amongst them as the one I found. There was not another at all like it. The handles of all the others were polished ; this one was crossed. By Mr. Bodkin—l particularly noticed at the time I found the pistol the handle of it was crossed. By Ar. Sleigh—At the trial in Paris I showed the pistol to Gomez and he rec ignised i t as his property. Whenever I saw Gomez at the cafe he was always in big own apartment. By the Magistrate During the time I was en gaged in attending to the wounded Gomez could have gone into the room where the pistol was found. Isaac Hollis, jun., a gunmaker, residing at Birming ham, said—On the 23d of November last a person came to our premises to purchase firearms. I have seen Pierri in Paris. He is the person. Pierri inquired about revolvers. Mr. Bodkin—Did he tall you were you to send a revolver I Mr. Sleigh—l object to that question until you con nect the prisoner with Pierri. Mr. BOdkin—l think I have done so abundantly. Mr. Jardine—l think it is a proper question. Witness—l sent the pistol produced by his directions to 106, Bach-street, Birmingham. I recognise it by its number. 5,841. I entered the purchase in the day-book. Mr. Holies, sea.—l identify the two pistols produced. I sold them on the 29th of October to Pierri. There was another person in company with Pierri. I have seen the prisoner Orsini in Paris. I think he is that per-on. Orsini paid for the pistols. Mr. Sleigh—Would you like to swear to Orsini being the man ? Witni-ss—No, I should not. Mr. Bodkin— Had not the beard which he wore when you first saw him been removed ? Witness—Yes, it had. Pierre Debarge—l reoolleet;theottempt on the life of the Emperor. I was at-stadia* thistpevening near my own residence in the Rue Idonthanor. I saw Orsini, Pierri Gomez, and Rudio there. • Gomez bad something in a handkerchief. It seemed heavy, and looked like oranges. The witness here pat one of the grenades into the handkerchief, and showed how the prrcel was carried. Louis Meckenheim—l know the prisoner Pierri. I remember his coming to see me at Brussels on the 7th of Jan. We went to the Cafe Suisse. He bad long black hair and beard. I recollect his speaki , gto a person in the Cafe. I did not k now hi s name, b ut now k now it to be Georgi. After Georgi bad spoken to Pierri, he went into a roo m an d b roug h t out a parce l, which he gave to him. It re.anuled the packet before me (two halves of a grenade wrapped up in paper). I saw P ierri leave Brussels for Paris. He took the parcel I have mentioned with Wei. Louis Francais Devieme, gunmaker, Boulevard . des Italien. I wa s ca ll e d i n by the authorit i es to examine the greeade I now hold in my hand. There were caps upon all the nipples. I first took off the caps, and I then tapped the balls with my fiogers, and the ful• minating powder came through the nipples. .When I was convinced that. there wa s n o more fulminating powder in it, I proceeded to unscrew the top, but before doing so I took out one of the nipples. I put water through the hole, the water being only slightly col o ured. I felt cer tain the grenade was emety. I produca t h e f u l mina t ing powder and water I t o ,,k from the bom b .

I remember it by the number (7,518). It was on a Friday, and on the following day he . brought the weapon . back to have the hammer, which was by Pierri.. On the 12th it was fetched away broken, repaired. On that occasion he was accompanied On the night of the attempt I was called to the Pre fecture de Police and shown the pistol. I saw Ors i n i , Pierri, and Gomez there. I had a conversation w ith . by Gomez. them about the weapon.

In its just indignation against those who had excited or perpetrated thecrime it attributed to that tolerance a part of the responsibility which it would not have been more fair to attribute to England than to Belgium, to Switzer land, or to Piedmont. Public opinion, justly moved by appearances, yielded to an irritation which was only the effect of its devotedness and its respect for the Emp f e o r r ole same in a ques tion which was in some sort personal, which —but it is right to observe that, ever the affected his The Sovereign could not feel otherwise than grateful it Lim, escaped death life and that of the Empress, who, like 11 the calm which he owed to himself. he did not for an instant forget the justice which he owed to a , " We must, however, observe that in France there is more of indignation than disquietude with regard to these organisations of refugees, who, as has already been seen, aim at the Emperor's life, because they regard him as the shield of social order, and an obstacle to universalanarchy. If they are regarded with horror by all the world, they in spire only the weak with fear ; but they cause no terror to society or to the Government. It must be remarked that of the plots which we have enumerated only two have been carried out—thank God ! without success. All the others were baffled by the energetic vigilance of the French police, as active in preventing evil as the revolutionists are ardent in making it triumph. "As to the English people, they profess, we are aware, a horror equal to ours for those crimes which are prepared among them to be executed among us. But, without under valuing their sentiments, without touching in the slightest degree the independence of their institutions, it is permitted to consider these attempts so often repeated as warnings, and to find in them the indication of great duties for all Go vernments. Thus, after the 14th January there was but one single cry throughout France for two things ; first, the re moval from our frontiers of the assassins condemned by the Courts of Justice ;:secondly, the interdiction of the public apology of assassinati on i n j ourna l s or a t mee ti ngs .

Caledonian Mercury of March 9 ) The Italian Opera Company gave their second and last performance at the Theatre Royal last night. The house was completely filled ; and as both the upper and 1 lower tier of boxes were crowded with ladies dressed in I every variety of variegated costume, the effect was un usually brilliant. The performances commenced with Donizetta's opera " La Figlia del Reggimento," the part of Maria being assumed by Mdlle. Piccalornini. The character is one eminently adapted for the display of this lady's peculiar powers, and her first appearance at the back of the stage in the picturesque dress of a vivan diere was the signal for an outburst of enthusiastic ap- , plause, the audience rightly divining that the dainty apparition was the prelude to a most finished p•ece of operatic impersonation. The lively reci tative between Maria and Sergento Sulpizio (Signor Vio!etti) toned the house for the due apprecia• tion of the first air, sung by Mdlle.

THE TOTAL Ecursz OF THE SON.--The Earl of Derb_yl iuduciog Lord Stfuley to Nil aTgry Milaistry.--Punc3/4. THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON 111. AND ENGLAND. [The following appeared in our late Edition of last night.] The following is a translation of the pamphlet to be published in Paris to-morrow. It is entitled "L'Ems pereur Napoleon 111, et l'Angleterre." The greatest curiosity has been excited by the knowledge that some such pi - eduction was shortly to appear, and this curiosity is not the less intense that, though it is the wor k of an eminent publicist, a member of the Council of State, yet the inspiration has been derived from the very highest source. People are anxious to know what will be said on the question which has agitated the two countries since the 14th of January. It begins thus : "We believe there is a duty to be fulfilled towards public opinion ; it consists in making an impartial and calm voice be heard amid the passions which have been for a moment unjustly excited in England. We are confident we shall be understood on the other side of the Channel. We shall be sparing of observations; above all, we shall recall facts. " When Louis Napoleon was elected President of the Republic he only found about him, in the Assembly which was to share and often embarrass his Government, parties hostile, orunsympathetic to England. The Legitimists pre served religiously to our old enemies the historical resent. ment of our ancient national strifes. Tice Republicans remembered Pitt leagued with Coburg against the Revolu tion in order to crush it. The Orleanists regretted the pro tection which had humiliated them, all the more on account of the abandonment they had experienced before their fall. Finally, the partisans of the Empire still groaned under the most melancholy recollection of contemporaneous history. What was the heir of the Emperor Napoleon 1., become chief of France, going to do ? Was he about to yield to the rancour and the prejudice of parties? Was he to foster, by his example, the international hatr e d s still alive at the rec o ll ec ti on of? Waterloo and St. Helena? Was he about to avenge, at least by his coldness, his name and character outraged by the English press at the moment of his election ? No I Exile is a school of wisdom and of maturity for those whom God destines to reign. At that school Louis Napoleon had learnt much and forgotten much. He only remembered the hospitality which had soothed the trials of his days of adversity—he only considered the great interests which drew France and England together in the cause of civilisation. In 1849 the Porte was menaced by Austria on account of the asylum it had afforded the Hungarian refugees. The President of the Republic thought that France was not uninterested in that affair, which seemed to touch some grave European questions. He ordered the French fleet to proceed towards the Dardanelles at the same time as the English fleet, and he thus seized the first opportunity for an active understanding between the two Governments. There was, however, at that epoch such susceptibility against England that the French Ministry, of whom M. Odillon Barrot was then a member, placed one condition on the sending of the fleet, namely, that it should not sail with the English fleet, and that its action should be dis tinct, though the aim was common. There was, doubt less, in this reserve an excess of mistrust, but it was only the consequence of an excess of resentment maintained by the double influence of the tribune and the press. "Some time after, Lord Palmerston presented an ulti matum to Greece which alarmed Europe. The Legislative Assembly, which had inherited the sentiments of the Con stituent Assembly against England, seized this occasion of showing the hostility which animated it. It pressed on the Ministry of the President with all the weight of an opinion fortified by a sort of popularity; and our Ambassador, 31. Drouyn de Lhuys, wet/ordered to quit London. When Gene ral de la Hate, then Minister of Foreign Affairs, announced the news, a feeling of inconsiderate patriotism pervaded the entire Assembly. The same evening all the chiefs of parties went to the Elyse° to congratulate the President. He received them with much coldness, which proved that he did not share their approbation of a measure the effect of which might be to arouse the antagonism of the two countries. " The 2d of December came. It was an act relative to our internal situation, which concerned no one abroad. Nevertheless several English journals denounced the man who had just saved the country from frightful anarchy, and, it may be, preserved Europe from convulsion. There was no sort of calumny which was not invented, and error which was not spread. One London journal went so far as to give a sketch of a scene which represented the insur gents in the act of being shot in the Champ do Mars. Such things were credited—things which our manners and habits nevertheless rendered as unlikely as they are happily impossible. The truth is that not only was there no one shot after the combat, but that the whole affair was con fined in a city of 1,600,000 inhabitants, to the rising of 1,500 demagogues, of whom 150 at most fell with arms in their hands during the struggle. This truth was as easy to be ascertained in England as in France. It required to be misrepresented with so much audacity in order to excite the animadversion against such an act which merited the gratitude of a civilised people." The pamphlet briefly alludes to the forbearance of the chief of the French Government at a moment when it was not difficult to excite the pas sions of the two nations, and professes to show that peace was as likely to be thus disturbed as it was by the violence of the press and the tribune after the peace of Amiens against the First Consul. It proceeds thus : " We now come to another phase of contemporaneous events. The Eastern question occurs ; war is decided upon ; an alliance is concluded between France and England. How has this alliance been understood and practised by the two people? It must be said to the honour of the one as of the other, that if they had been united for centuries they could not have acted with more loyalty, more mutual de votedness, more of con fidence under the trials which bath passed through. As for our part---and it may be permitted to ris to be proud of it a a part of our glory—we gai-re our co-operation under every form. There were not wanting persons then who less perceived a French than an English interest in the war in the East. Unaffected by that opi nion, the Emperor sent to the Crimea double the number of soldiers as the English. A good and perfect understand ing was one of the most formal in s t ruc ti ons w hi c h h e gave to the General-in-Chief. That inspiration of the Sovereign of France became the rule for our army in its relations with the English army. Defending the same cause, exposed to the same danger, both armies had common duties and common interest; they owed to each other a mutual assist ance at every moment. For our part we gave it with an impulse and a goodwill of which the example is rare in military history between even the combatants of the same nation. At inkermann we rushed at the first call of our allies to share their dangers and to second their heroism under the terrible pressure of the Russians. The trials of a terrible winter, the fatigues of a gigantic siege, the immense losses caused by fire, cold, and sickness having considerably diminished the strength of the English army, several French regiments shared with them the duties of their own lines; they helped them to open routes, to trans port cannon and provisions. The English paid us back that co-operation with a noble reciprocity; they conveyed is their ships our troops to Bomarsund, and a part of those sent to the Crimea. At a later period, when their army was reor ganised we found with them the same devotedness they bad toned with us. Their hospitals were open for our sick, their medicines were at the disposal of our soldiers. This is what passed in Russia. On the battle-field the two peo ple were but one; the soldiers of the two allied armies had but one soul under the united flags, to combat, to suffer, to die, and to triumph together. After the peace won by their common glory, the alliance cemented by that noble fraternity of heroism and of combats seemed for ever after unalterable. One would have said that we had buried our rivalry in the same grave as our dead, under the sands of the Crimea, and that those generous victims had effaced by their blood, shed for the same cause, the struggles of many centuries. What a subject of surprise for our fathers, who lived in the hatreds of other times, if they could see the English army wearing, with pride, on their breasts the effigy of the martyr of St. Helena ; and the sons of those who fought at Waterloo wearing, with the same pride, the medal on which is engraved the image of the Queen of England ! " The alliance then appeared indissoluble. Soon, how ever, a dissension arose on the interpretation of the condi tions of peace. That divergence, judged in Paris as of little importance, was out of all measure magnified in London, and adding this time ingratitude to injustice, a portion of the English press, forgetful of the recollections of the eve, insulted the Emperor, bisects, hisintentions. The Emperor remained impassable. Nay more ; from a spirit of mode ration, and for the sake o f h ar mony, Franco and Russia agreed with England. The points in discussion related, moreover, to secondary interests which affected in nothing the guarantees stipulated in the treaty of Paris. "The question of the Principalities next followed. At the Congress of Paris France and England were agreed for the union. At a later period the Cabinet of St. James's changed its opinion, and by an estimate of affairs to be regretted, it was the Cabinet of the Tuileries that was de scribed at London as deserting the alliance. The French Government might have justly felt hurt at that false inter pretation of its conduct, which was so honest and so mode rate. At that moment the revolt in India broke out. If France had been less sincere in her sentiments, less disin terested in her views, the occasion was a fine one to show herself more reserved, more exacting, perhaps, towards her ally. The Emperor thought and acted otherwise. The em barrassments which the war in India imposed on England only rendered him more conciliating at Osborne in the ques tion of the Principalities. He offered even at a later period to the English Government to pass its troops through our territory, and he inscribed his name, with the Imperial Guard, at the head of the subscription for the victims of the Indian insurrection. " We now come to what is most painful between the two countries—to what would be the most capable, without a frank explanation, to affect the confidence which is the force of their alliance. This explanation has become neces sary, not to raise complaints, but to explain facts, and to justify the sentiments which era manifested in France. " The attempt of the 14th January struck Paris, France, and all Europe with stupor. After having first returned thanks to God, people asked, what was the origin of that crime -whence came the assassins—in what circle they had conceived thoughts which bad nothing human in them, so perverse and savage were they. The assassins had come from England. The crime had been prepared, encouraged, paid for, perhaps, by those societies of refugees who dis• honour the generous hospitality of a free country by shel tering there the permanent conspiracy of assassination. " People very naturally say to each other in France— ' How ! is it then that it is always in England that attempts against the life of the Emperor and against society are pre pared ? Is this what we ought to expect from an alliance so loyally observed during the peace, and so gloriously ce mented during the war? " The attempt of the 14th of January was not in t ruth s the first which had emanated from London. Other cr i mes less terrible, but the thought of which w " " guilty, the same origin.

Is the proof Here it is. It is inscribed in the records of criminal justice. " On the 29th June, 1852, the police discovered in a house in the Rue Blanche, near the BarriereFontaineblean, a regular manufactory of infernal machines, intended for an attempt which was to be made in the month of August. The instigation of this crime came from London. The journey to that capital of one of the contumacious accused, his relations with the refugees, the correspondence seized, leave no doubt on that point. In January, 185 3, Kelsch was arrested in Paris, after a stout resistance, together with Qalli and Rossi, Keisch a wiles, wick e d p l ans had 59i a 49 8 16i
