Every now and then some Letter suddenly becomes an absorbing matter of public consideration. A month or two ago this was the case with Earl Rus- SELL'S Letter upon Ireland, addressed to the Right Hon. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE. Last week it was thus in regard to Mr. Batcarr's Letter to the Secre tary of the Birmingham Liberal Association. Just now, in Paris, it is the EMPEROR'S Letter to M. MACKAU which is the universal theme of commentary in political circles and in the newspapers. Between twenty or thirty years ago, over in Dublin, it used to be periodically the like in regard to the last letter to "My dear Ray," penned by the hand of the Irish Liberator. A collection of celebrated letters of a political character would form a not uninteresting compilation ; and it would serve to illustrate very sttikingly the leading events of each successive generation. Among the most voluminous contributors to a volume of that kind would, as a matter of course, be the noble Bail whose name has just now been partieu'arised. Lord IlussELL before ben spoken of, half in deri sion, half in serious recogrlition as the Complete Letter Writer—Politically. Some among his episto lary Effusions, indeed, have long since become historical either by their notoriety or by their importance. His letter addressed to his constituents in the winter of 1845-6, and dated from Edinburgh, was the memor able prelude to the abolition of the Corn Laws by Si; ROBERT PEEL'S Government. His letter ad dressed in 1850 to the Bishop of DURHAM was the signal fur a sort (.4 travestie of the fanaticism awakened by that crazy Scotch Peer, Lord GEORGE GORDON, seventy years previously—only instead of THE SUN, . LONDON; -.MONDAY - EVENING, - WINE --21, 1869, SaereligioUilY eKSpoilineth - e - Catholi - o - Chapels in 1850 and burning Newgate as their predecessors had done in 1780, the Protestant mobs contented themselves with setting fire to effigies of the POPE and Cardinal WISEMAN. The Imperial Legislature, however, in the middle of the Nineteenth Century showing itself at the same time anything but as self-possessed and as unimpassioned as the Houses of Parliament had done towards the close of the Eighteenth Century—seeing that, so far from repelling and denying the demands of the fanatical antagonists of " Popery" out of doors, the Lords and Commons of England nearly twenty years ago so far responded to it as to pass into a law the utterly powerless and inope rative measure of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. Among other political Letter Writers of our own time, not the least conspicnous has been during these twenty years last passed, his Majesty the present Emperor of the FRE - sca. His brief missive at the coin mencemeut of the last decade but one, addressed to M. EDGAR NEY, then at Rome, will long be borne in recollection as one of the most memorable of his epistolary communtcatiuns. At rare acd very noticeable intervAs his MAJESTY has in a similar way blurted forth, at pecu liarly critical junctures, his own, up to that moment, simply conjectured thoughts in regard to the policy of his Government. The latest of these " asides" has became audible to France, to all Europe, within the past few days through the EMPEROR'S. note addressed to M. MAcKAu Language— said Prince TALLEYRAND, and, before then wrote Dr. GOLDSMITH—is given to men to conceal their thoughts. The cynical suggestion that it is so, seems to come much more naturally as a mot from the lips of the French wit, than to fall as an aphorism from the pen of the gentle hearted Irish man-of-letters. However this may be, it is, undeniable that, more than once, the Emperor of the FRENCH has found language apparently most frank, so far a conceal nient to his thoughts, that the meaning of his words has, time and again, been regarded by friend and foe alike as, to the last, enigmatical. The Imperial utterances, in other times, have not unfre quently been Delphic in their character—they h,:ve admitted of various, and sometimes of the most opposite, interpretation, as to their real eigni - nificauce. The letter very recently addressed by the Emperor NAPOLEON 111. to M. MACKAC is being just now treated by the Parisian journalists, for the most part, as if it were fligrantly and unde niably an effusion of precisely that description. And to ourselves, all the while, this cotnuaunic ttion reads as simply and as comprehensibly as possible. It means, to our thinking, solely and wholly this, that, to menace, the Imperial Government will remain dumb, but that the Empire is always prepared fur the exigencies of the epoch and of the country in regard to the political modifications that may from time to time appear desirable. That it means more this we cannot see, .and we do not believe. That it means the retention at all hazard of M. ROUHER as the Minister of State—that it means the maintenance to the last inex orably of the system of Personal Government, is no where legible to us in these calm and unimpassioned sentences. The utterance is, no doubt, the utterance of a Prince wielding dictatorial or autocratic power, but it is the utterance of a Priace wielding that power by a right thrice accorded to him through the Urn of the Ballot by the great mass of the French Democracy. Mu. GLADSTONE must have been more than human if he did not contrast June 18, 1809, with June 18, 1806. The unexpectedly large majority of thirty three which he obtained in a House containing a large majority of Conservative peers, could not but force itself upon him as a gratifying compensation for the minority of eleven in his own House exactly three years before. Now all is joy and victory; a magnificent triumph at the polling-booths, a splendid and united phalanx in one house of the Legislature, and a success far beyond his brightest anti cipations in the other. What a change since those days of trouble and rebuke when he saw his party divided and disorganised, his Ministry broken up, and the cause of Liberal principles apparently lost. Yet, even in that hour of sorrow; though not of shame, even when his own familiar friends had turned against him, and his foes were of his own political household, he did not lose faith or hope. No one can have forgotten the magnificent peroratio delivered on the very eve of defeat ; no one can have forgotten the confident prophecy that out of the ashes of those who then fell the avenger would arise. Faith and hope have been rewarded far beyond their most ardent expectation. Household suffrage has been granted, the Liberal party has been reunited, and not the Commons only, but the Lords have affirmed the principle of the disestablishment of the Irish Church. Truly a wonderful change in the three short years since Lord DUNKELLIN and Lord ELcuo were—Heaven save the mark !—the heroes of the day. But while it was inevitable that such thoughts should have crowded upon the mind of the PREMER on Waterloo Day —now for the third time made memorable in British annals—to those of us who are independent of party, the chief source of satisfaction in connection with this division is that it has taken the Irish Church question out of the region of party. The Liberals carried the measure through the house of Commons, but it is the Con servatives who have carried it through the House of Lords. It was evident from the first that ,if the Opposition peers chose they could for the time throw out the bill. But they wisely reckoned the cost, and nearly all the most able of them, quite all the most farseeing of them, declined to commit themselves to a policy which could not possibly prevail in the long run, and which, while it would not save the Irish Church Establishment, would imperil the existence of the House of Lords. They had a perfect right to take this consideration into account. But this was not the only one that influenced them. They recognised the great fact embodied in the last Reform Bill—the political revolution which it had brought about—namely, that power having first passed from the Crown to the Peers, had now finally passed from the Peers to the People. 'The very men who opposed the Reform Bill because it would in volve this change, were actually the very men to recognise it after it had taken place. It was the rash followers of that most rash of all leaders, Lord DERBY, who, having taken a leap in the dark, refused to see that they had alighted on far other ground than that whereon they used to stand ; it was these who would have upheld the Irish Church at the risk of a forcible revolution in England, and a civil war in Ireland. We have commented upon and condemned Mr. Bnioirr's indiscreet letter, because it assumed as certain that which has not taken place ; but his words would have been more than justified if this party had prevailed, and offensive though they were, they would have been as butter and honey compared with the gall and vinegar that would have been forthcoming if _‘f r. BEA LES and his friends had reappeared in Hyde Park. As it is, there is no single action of the House of Lords during the whole of the present century which reflects so much credit upon them as this debate and this division. The deflate shews that, for calm statesmanship and for oratorical power, our hereditary are more than a match for our elected legislators. The division shows that there is a large number of the Lords whom no considerations of party will induce to adopt a course which they believe to be opposed to the national will, and there fore fraught with injury to the Constitution. The Liberal party in the Commons voted en masse, as they were bound to do if they would represent the opinion of their constituents; the Conservative "party in the Lot& refused to do so, bieause they ,woula-not-fly in -the-faee-of that opinion, --It is not too much to say that the unanimity of the Minis terialists in the Lower House has led to the disrup tion of the Oppositionists in the Upper. Had the first shewn the slightest sign of wavering, there would have been none in the Upper. A word or two as to the future. The bill has now to pass through the ordeal of committee, and there can be no doubt that this will be a formidable ordeal. There is one proposal that would unite a large num ber of peers on both sides of the House, peers of great weight and very varied sentiments—a proposal for a concurrent endowment of _the Roman Church. That proposal will not be made even though it has the support of Earl RUSSELL, the Duke of DEVON SHIRE, Lord KIMBERLEY, and the Bishop of St. DAvm's on the one side, and probably one-half of the Conservative peers on the other. It will not be made for the same reason that the bill has been read a second time, in order that the Lords may not set themselves in opposition to the nation. But other amendments will be made, and we have not the smallest doubt that such of these as are carried will be accepted by Mr. GLADSTONE on behalf of the House of Commons, provided always that they are not con trary to the principle of the bill which both Houses have now affirmed. So much for the immediate result of this important division. The more remote result must be the reorganisation of the Conservative party, and the appointment of new leaders. Lord DERBY has lived to see power pass out of his hands. It is no longer those who resist moderate changes to the very last, and then take leaps in the dark by way of avoiding them, to lead a party which numbers among its ranks some of the most able statesmen, orators, and administrators of the day. No one knows this better than Lord DERBY'S son. Henceforth it is to peers like Lord SALISBURY, Lord CARNARVON, and the Lord DERBY of the future that the Conservatives will look for guidance. We are moving fast ; great social forces are at work, great and violent changes are possible. - Moderate men of all parties, and the men who belong to no party, may therefore well rejoice that there now exist Conservative statesmen who have renounced the old, bad policy of resisting until the verge of revolution, only in order to capitulate ignominiously ; who have, instead, adopted the new and wise policy of yielding gracefully and in time. Tni debate and the division in the House of Commons on the Treaty of Commerce with France are highly significant. The battle between Protec tion and Free Trade has been so long decided, the victory has remained so complete, that the supporters of the sounder doctrine have ceased to dream of danger. But when two-fifths of a House of 250 members vote in favour of a covert attack upon Free Trade, the time has evidently arrived for those who fear Protection to guard against it. Mr. STAVELEY lIILL, who moved on Friday for a select committee to inquire into the operation of the French Treaty, with special reference to the silk manufacture, did, i n d ee d, di sc laim the idea of returning to a protective system. lle desired nothing more than such a revision of the French Treaty as would place English and French manufac tures upon the same terms, the bargain being at present, he urged, very one-sided. But it is very easy to shew that his proposition amounts to a declaration against free trade or to nothing. The people of England have long been painfully aware of the distressed condition of the Coventry silk-weavers. A fivefold increase of the sum required for outdoor relief, in addition to the national subscription of £lO,OOO, is sufficient evi dence that the palmy days of the Coventry district have passed, at least for the time being. Mr. STAVELEY Mu, charges the French Treaty with being the cause of this depression. The terms agreed upon between the two countries are decidedly unequal ; for France agreed that the duties on silks imported from England should not exceed 30 per cent., whilst the English Govern ment abolished the duties on silk altogether. Pure silk is admitted into France free of duty, the French manufacturer having less fear of competition in that branch ; but sills mixed,with cotton, in the manu facture of which the English are most expert, are met with a duty of 10 or 15 per cent. The two nations, Nr. lI[LL argues, have not concluded a recipro3al bargain, and the effect has been most dis astrous. Weekly wages at Coventry have fallen from £12,000 to £3,000, and trade returns in the same proportion. wearisomelt is v t ernto return to the old formulas of this subject. If the Coventry people lose, the nation at large l l e l - bew swell-worn obliged gains. If labour and capital do not find remunerative employment in one branch of industry they will do so in another; and the care of the Government must be not to artificially buoy up isolated manufactures, but to procure the cheapest goods for the great mass of the people. This is the fundamental principle of Free Trade, and it applies to the case of Coventry as well as to any other case. But Mr. Mu's position may be met by more specific arguments. It is more than doubt ful how far the distress at Coventry is owing to the commercial arrangements with France. The silk trade, as Mr. MuNTz, a high authority, sheaved, has always fluctuated. There were periods of distress and periods of prosperity before the French Treaty. Moreover, the American War and the great change of fashion—though the represen tative of Coventry denied that anything was owing to these causes—have really done much to bring about the sufferings of his constituents. But, admitting that the Treaty has had some ill-effect, that the duties are unequal and the bargain unfair, what then ? We have no means of amending the terms. The power of further reducing the duties lies with the French Govern ment, which at present is not disposed to make any alteration. There is a very strong Protective party in Trance—much more formidable than that which apparently exists in England—and it is doubtful how far the EMPEROR could venture to make further changes. He favours the principle of Free Trade, but many considerations hamper him in carrying it out to the full in practice. The English Government, on its side, made the best possible bargain, and is now on the look-out to improve it. - What could a select com mittee do to further the end in view ? The only remedy which lies in our power is to decline a renewal of the Treaty, which 'expires this year, and return to protective principles. But Mr. STAVELEY HILL does not advocate this course. He wants reciprocity ; but reciprocity implies the consent of two parties, which cannot be had. To return to protection would be little short of madness, for to the nation at large the treaty has been of the most extensive benefit. We have recently given the figures, and it would be needless to repeat them. Suffice it to say that our total annual imports from France have at least doubled in eight years, and our total exports to France have far more than doubled. To abandon a system of this kind is out of the question. To appoint a select committee would only raise hopes which might never be realised. The only resource is to await the revival of trade, of which the hope is great, and the further advance of Free Trade principles in France, of which the hope, we are sorry to say, is just now but small. TIDE - ATLANTIC CABLE" EXPEDITION, A special correspondent of the Times writes his first letter on the Atlantio Cable Expedition from Brest. It is dated June 17, and the writer commences by saying: " The first step towards laying down the line of subma• ine telegraph between this harbour and Boston was made yesterday. Nothing could be done before, and very little has yet been douo at all, for the weather has been, on the whole, rather unfavourable, %nd the swell of the Atlantic, which rolls before a westerly wind into the little creek called Minon Bay, has been so heavy on the beach that boating has been out of the question. The close of to-day, however, if the weather still holds fair, ought to see the shore end laid and buoyed, when all will have to wait till the Great Eastern arrives. If the weather has affected her coaling as much as it did our passage, she is not likely to be here much before Tuesday, nor away with the cable before Wednesday, the 23rd." The correspondent describes some difficulty with the Great Eastern's paddles :—" These paddles are so deep in the water as, in nautical parlance, to be almost drowned. Before she started on Saturday, therefore, it was necessary to reduce every alternate float on each, and thus bring their number down from thirty-six to eighteen. In addition to this alteration, every float Las been reefed in as near the centre of the wheel as pos sible ; but even with all reductions the power of the paddles was so great that their use had to be dis continued whenever the channels were - shoal or winding, and they were always one thing or the other, and not seldom both. With the additional 2,000 tons of coal at Portland, the wheels will be immersed to the lowest depth at which they can be of any service, and probably it is not till the vessel is half across the Atlantic that they will be doing full work at all, while, at the end of the voyage, as the vessel lightens, they will be doing absolutely nothing. To meet this drawback to a return passage, the Great Eastern takes an entirely new set of floats with her, which will be bolted on at St. Pierre, and enable her to return to England at full speed." The correspondent goes on to say : " The good people at Brest evinced the most profound indifference to all connected with cable matters. They knew, of course, that one was to be laid, and were in a sort of way anxious to see the Great Eastern again, but this was all. As to the probabilities of success, the manner in which it was to be done, or the course over which the line would have to be taken, they knew little and cared lets. The French authorities, however, were quite alive to the importance of the occasion, and gave every facility and assistance to Captain Osborn. The Admiral of the port, Admiral Reynaud, placed the Soufflet steamer at his service, and gave a hundred dockyard seamen, with a large raft and a large lighter, to assist in landing the shore end. This work was commenced at 4 a.m. to day. The weather was beautifully calm, though in the gray light of early dawn the cliffs looked more repellent and inhospitable than ever. But there was hardly any surf beating against them, and that was all that was wanted, let them look as ugly as they liked. The Hawk went first, and the Chiltern with the shore end followed. Soon after six the massive coil was paid out through the machinery over the stern of the Chiltern, and stowed away fore and aft in coils on board the raft. This was then towed in to the shore by a little steam pinnace, which brought it within a few feet of the land. The crew then, both French and English, were in a twinkling overboard up to their necks in the surf, and almost in as short a time as it takes to tell it the shore end was landed and dragged by main force to the cable house, about 100 yards or so up the little ravine. Here the end was secured, tested, and, of course, found perfect, and, in less than half an hour after, it was laid in the little trench which had been dug in the sand and cut in the rock to a depth of about two feet, and in this it was buried. At seven the Chiltern steamed slowly out to sea, following the track of the Hawk and the line of buoys laid down, paying out the cable slowly as she went. Everything was done in the coolest and most businesslike manner, without noise, bustle, or enthusiasm of any kind. About half-past ten o'clock the Chiltern buoyed her end and fired a gun to shew that the first part of the work was completed, and then steamed back to the harbour, while the Hawk went to and fro to pick up the buoys again. Between eleven and twelve o'clock there was a little influx of lady and gentlemen visitors from Brest, who had driven out to see the shore end laid. Great was their astonishment and chagrin to find the little creek empty, the shore end laid, and nothing whatever to tell of it beyond the marks of the fresh-turned earth of the trench in which it was buried. It is, on the whole, very fortunate that the work of land ing- and laying this massive portion of the line has been got over so easily and well, for the glass is falling again, and there is every prospect of wind.' THE AMERICAN PRESS AND ENGLISH ACTORS. The Americans are scandalised, orthe American Press affects to be shocked, at the doings of English• actors in the - United States ; and some very strong criticisms have been passed on some of the Fedora:a:lees which have taken place in New York and elsewhere. The following letter on the subject, from Mr. Henderson, who took out the first burlesque troupe to New York, with Lydia. Thompson as the chief, appears in the Era :—" A very strange and unwarrantable outrage having been per petrated upon rne, and knowing, under the cir cumstances, that very garbled accounts will be sent to England, I think it a duty I owe, not only to myself, but the troupe who are now in this country under my management, to briefly state the following facts :—The Press, upon the advent of the Lydia Thompson troupe, were unanimous in their laudations of the company, the praise almost amounting to fulsome puff. It, however, emanated spontaneously from the Press. The great pecuniary success which attended the Lydia Thompson troupe created no small excitement in England, resulting in a perfect emigration of hurlesquers, and now the country is swarming with troupes who are, I believe, scarcely playing to their expenses. This may or may not have been brought about by the unaccountable change that has come over certain portions of the Press, who denounce, in the most unmeasured terms, the influx of English artistes, who, they assert, are a disgrace to the country. By degrees some of the leading journals have taken up the war against the Henglish,' as they call us, and what they once pronounced a charming and delightful entertainment, i.e., burlesque,' they now stigmatise as demoralising and wicked. So far as my troupe is con cerned, notwithstanding these sledge-hammer attacks, I am pleased to say they have had no effect on our con tinued success. One journal in particular, IV ithis's Spirit of the Times, has, however, gone far beyond all bounds in its bitter animosity to the Henglish.' An article emanat ing from the pen of a Mr. E. H., denounced the English in terms of the greatest bitterness, and asserted that there was a regular clique formed among the managers tocrush every American artiste who attempted to go to England. At a supper given on the 100th night of " The Forty Thieves," when there were some 80 or 100 of the profession present, I took occasion to express my sentiments on the erroneous statements made by H,' and stated that American artistes of position and talent would receive a most cordial welcome in England. The remarks made by me were carried to the writer of the article, and in the following week the most outrageous personal attack was made upon me in the columns of that paper. The libel it contained was most bitter and malicious, and I caused my solicitor to formally demand the writer of the article. This met with no other response than a second article of a character similar to the first. On . the day upon which the last article was published, after the performance had concluded, and when the house was in darkness, I was accosted by a Mr. George B. Butler, who desired to speak to me, and asked me to ac company him, so that what he had to say might be heard by some witnesses. I consented, and when in the dark with two accomplices, he announced himself as the writer of the article in the Spirit of the Times, at the same time striking me a blow on my temple which com pletely stunned me, and whilst in that state again struck me a second blow on the cheekbone, which has penalised a portion of my face and teeth. Some interference about this time was about to be made in my favour by Mr. Palmer and the servants of the theatre, when the man (Butler) drew a pistol and threatened to shoot the first person that interfered. Since the assault I obtained a warrant and had him arrested, and a trial will shortly be heard upon the double charge of assault with intent to kill, and libel. lam proud to say that the public sympathy and feeling for me is very great, and I am fain to hope that this anti-English sort Of criticism and bitter personal animosity, which at present is assuming an appearance of positive intimidation, will receive a check." The ma: or, s' strike at I i alifax has terminated. Tho men will return to tLeir work to-day at tho old term,4. Lord Napier, of Magdala, has resigned his post as Commander-in-Chief at Bomtay ; and Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir Augustus Spencer, K.C.8., has been appointed to the chief command of tho Presidency. Sir Augustus Spencer served throughout the Eastern campaign of 1854-5; he commanded the 44th Regiment at the battles of Alma and lukermann, and throughout the siege of Solos topol. He was wounded on the 18th of June, during the occupation of the cemetery ; but, recoverin', ho was soon again in active service. Recently, Sir Augustus has been employed at the Horse Guards as President of the Com mittee appointed to revise and reform the autherised evolu ii9ll6 91 the Wailer; CORRESPONDEE.OII FROM (moil our: OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, SUNDAY, June 20. The Belgian railway affair, after subsiding into a very lesirable obscurity during the election campaign, has again appeared as a prominent part of the politics of the day. It appears, from the accounts of the proceedings given by the official journals, that the business is not making very satisfactory progress. Indeed, judging by the statement in the Public, the difficulty is precisely where it was when the official papers first commenced blustering several months ago. According to the Public, the later delibera tions of the Commission have been devoted to a project submitted by the Belgian Government as, in some sort, an ultimatum. The French Commissioners, however, declared that they could accept the terms offered by the Cabinet of Brussels, and the Belgian Commissioners were equally positive that they could make no further concessions. In this state of affairs, M. Cornudet, the president of the Commission, proposed that they should draw up a precis verbal, or common note, setting forth their proceedings, and declaring that as they could not come to an agree ment they had considered their business terminated. The suggestion was acted upon, and a note of this kind was drawn up and addressed to the Governments. But at this point the Belgian Ministry gut frightened. It did not like this peremptory closing of the negotiation. Acting on the safe principle that "it is better to bear the ills we have than to fly to others that we know not of," the " ultimatum" was modified, and new propositions put forth. It is upon this fresh scheme that the commission is now going to work, and the Public hopes that this dis agreeable question will soon be disposed of. Such, however, is not the expectation of the Brussels cor respondent of the Te»ips, who conceives that this railway business now begins to wear a very ugly aspect. M. de Lavalette, fearing a diplomatic failure as the result of this dispute, speedily washed his hands of it, and turned it over to the Minister of Commerce. The commission has been nominated for more. than a month, and it has done absolutely nothing. In the meantime, M. Frere-Orban, the head of the Belgian Ministry, has been in communica tion with Lord Clarendon, and relying, this writer thinks, upon the support of the British Foreign Office, the pro posals made by one of the leading men of the interested railway companies—proposals which were accepted by France and Holland—have been rejected by Belgium. The difficulty, so simple at first, has grown so complicated by delay that it is only by some very disagreeable con cessions on the one side or the other that it can be settled. The fort at Dicetre has been completely cleared of the numerous lodgers who have occupied it with such unwil lingness during the last few days. More than 800 have been set at liberty, and the remaining 200, or more, have been removed to the Prison de la Sante7, in Paris. Two juges d'instruction are actively employed in collecting and considering the information relative to the destruction of property—seats, kiosks, bill columns and the like—on the boulevards. It was at first thought that a charge of plotting against the State would be substantiated against curtain individuals, including, very likely, M. Rochefort, but some high authorities express the opinion that the evidence will not warrant this accusation. The rioters will be proceeded against simply as rioters. A preliminary batch of them were brought up yesterday before the Seventh Chamber. These were some of the minor culprits. They had not smashed any windows, nor knocked down kiosks, nor indulged in any other heroic triumphs of the kind. Tho charge against them was that of raising seditious cries, and they nearly all pleaded that they were drunk. Sen. fences of imprisonment, varying from five days to six months, were inflicted. Some of the English papers have published, I see, accounts of a projected balloon enterprise to the North Pole! The aeronauts wi'l be exceedingly astonished and tittle gratified, I should imagine, if they perform such a feat. All they propose to do is to remain in the air fi r twenty-four hours, if possible. The Beauffremont divorce case has terminated for the present in the Court ordering the Princess to prove by witnesses some of the facts alleged in her evidence. These facts, if proved, will justify the separation. Amongst the scandalous scenes described was a party given by the Princess to which the Prince came and ordered all the guests to leave if they did not wish to be turned out of boom By Imperial decree M. Schneider is again nominated President of the Corps Ltigislatif, and MM. Leroux, Jerome David, and Du Miral are re-assigned the functions A Vice-Presidents, which they exercised in the last chamber. M. J. David is made Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour. This is a fact of some im portance, at least the Liberal journals here put a significant interpretation upon it. They regard this fresh distinction conferred upon the most uncompromising of Imperialists as a confirmation of the Mackau letter, as a further indication of the Emperor's resolve to main-. tain the d,rlits giro. M. de Persigny, however, continues his contest against the Sovereign's present councillors with undiminished zeal. his letter seems to have ?leased nobody ; but he writes again to the Con gitutionnel supporting the epistle, and expressing his ntention of maintaining the policy laid down in it. The situation, then, is not a little perplexing. The Emperor's letter to M. Mackau is plainly enough against reform ; but M. de Persigny writes advocating liberal loncessions, and it is hardly likely that he would reiterate ,his advice if disagreeable to the Emperor. ALIRKE7 S-2 111 S DAY. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. Juno 19.—Sales probably 15,000 bales, possibly more. The market quiet and unchanged. Five thousand choristers will meet at the Royal Horticultural Gardens, South Kensington, on Saturday July 3d (not on Saturday the 26th instant, as previously announced, when a great open air choral festival will be held, under the direction of Mr. G. W. Martin. The choristers will visit the South Kensington Museum in the morning, and in the afternoon the Royal Gardens and the great hall of arts and sciences now in course of erection. Military bands will bo in attendance. Ladies and gentle men,' or schools wishing to take part, should send an ad dressed and stamp-d envelope to Mr Martin at the offices of the National Choral Society, 14 and 15, Exeter-hall, immediately. TRADE AND FLI7ANCE. It is now upwards of three years since the collapse of the " Corner House," and since that event we have passed through an interval of stagnation and depression of trade which is entirely without parallel in the history of all former panics. The timidity which has been exhibited by capitalists during this protracted period is quite as unpardonable a 3 the reckless temerity which characterised the inflation immediately preceding "Black Friday ;" but this affordsus an accurate means of measuring the intensity of the panic that then set in. Without entering into details, our readers are fully aware of the utter suspension of all enterprise and credit that hassince prevailed, and our present purpose is to discover what effect these events at this distant period have had upon the money market. The panic which seized upon all classes naturally led to a complete distrust in all new companies, and especially in those companies which had been started during the period of inflation referred to. The consequence of this complete change of feeling was greatly to depreciate the value of the stockof these institu ,;ions, and a large number of shares were thrown upon the market. Many companies succumbed to the pressure, and although in several instances sound concerns were rooted out, it is but too notorious that the greater part of them were in a very unsatisfactory condition. While capital was withdrawn from such concerns as those referred to, it was necessary to employ :t in some other direction, and, as the number of really safe and unquestionable investments was very dilated, the large demand forced up prices to an excessive sgure. Although the effect of this, from mere lapse of time, has in a great measure passed away from the market, it will be seen, from the statement given below, that guaranteed stocks and really choice descriptions of securities have tended upwards in value, at the sxpense of those of inferior mark. Among those not enumerated may be mentioned the Indian Guaranteed Railways and several colonial stocks, which, although not under imperial guarantee, are considered sufficiently safe as to offer an eligible means of investment. It may be remarked that in the case of Consols, the comparison is Scarcely correct, as in January IS6G a portion of the new Dividend had accrued, while at the present time the quo :,at.oa is made ex div.

Egyptian (1862) Italian Peruvian Spanish Three per Cents. ... 43i Turkish Five per Cents. ... 41 A very marked difference is here noticeable in the value of really first-class securities, but it must not be supposed that the irregularity which appears in the value of foreign bonds is attributable to the fact that capital has been withdrawn from that market. On the con trary, an unusually large supply of money has been placed in the hands of speculators for employ ment in the foreign market, and very large amounts of ;hese securities have been locked up under advances from the banks. Whether this description of business falls within the ordinary range of a bank's legitimate opera ! ions, we shall not stop to consider, but it is evident that these facilities uphold the very worst description of specu'ations. The variations in foreign securities are 1 rin :ipally to be ascribed to political movements, or to the financial difficulties of ;ln3 States themselves. In many cases, such as Austria and Italy, a.n income tax has been imposed, to which foreigners have been made liable, and Spain is evidently about to follow this bad example. While such has been the courFet of the quotations for foreign bonds, most of the six culative companies par excellence have been very depressed, and up to this period spew little prospect oF recovery.
