ONEY MARKET A .Jll COMMERCTAL INTELLIGENag CITY, Two o'CLooK. The ace' untq from the manufacturing districts received this morning state !hat business during the past week has not been quite so active. At Birmingham retail traders complain sadly of the dearth of orders ; there are, however, signs of re turning activity, and a good spring trade is expected with North America. Business at Manchester, Owing to the rise in the value of cstton, has not been brisk, buyers for exportation acting with great caution. For the Indian and German markets there is a fair demand, and some little improvement has taken place in printing cloths ; buyers, however, still hesitate to give the advanced rates demanded by Manufacturers. The lace trade at Nottingham has been very quiet. A few orders for home con sumption have been executed in the warehouses, but beyond this there is little change to report. In the hosiery trade there is no improvement to report, business being unusually dull. In the glove branch, however, a slight improvement has taken place. At Leeds the demand for cloths was very inactive in the various halls, only a Moderate amount of business was transacted, but although prices are generally firm, there is not the animation which in more prosperous times has been usual at the commencement of the spring trade. The wool trade at Bradford has been active, and a fair business is reported in yarns, at full rates. Piece goods are quiet, and there is little or no demand for exportation ; and the late rather unfavourable accounts from the United States have fur a time destroyed the hopes ent: r tsined of a revival of trade with that country, and it is now generally believed that little will be done until the fall trade commences. The carpet trade at Halifax has con tinued steadily to improve, and a very fair amount of trade has been repo r t e d a t f u ll y l ate quotat i ons. Wool s - also Eave shown an up ward tendency in prices. The hosiery trade at Leicester has exhibited symptoms of improvement, more particularly for goods suitable for home use, but for export thergis very little doing, and great numbers of the opera tives are still unemployed. Accounts from Liverpool mention that the Cat ton Market on Saturday closed with a very animated appearance, and prices cf most descriptions ad vanced id. per lb. The sales amounted to 12,000 bal es) 5 ,000 of which were taken by the speculators, and 1,000 by the exporters. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and quotations were with out any material alteration. The Indian Loan Bill has not led to so much conversation in City circles as might have been ex pected, lo o ki ng at t h e amount the Leadenhall lt:ect authoriti es requ i re, an d t h e proposed manner °f l , raising it. Alth oug h the operation is likely to be tnore extensive than was g enera ll y an ti c i pated, 3 probable influence upon the money larket, will not, it is imagined, prove very mportant, inasm uc h as t h e debentures are to be tied pe r i o di ca ll y, and the investing public will be glad to take them in preference to the shares of It cY new joint stock schemes that may be brought oat. The particulars of the plan have yet to be made known, but the general opinion appears to be that the expedient of borrowing in the way pi ()- Poled is the most satisfactory that could be adopted. anThe demand for money continues very quiet, it is thought that the Bank Directors, on ixati..esrsday next, or in the week following at the o t t, will reduce the minimum to 3 per cent. Ite .. n ,g to the provision made for the engage uLa due on the 4th of the month, the last ti ,`L e rlic return exhibited a slight diminution in the reserve of notes, but a further increase may il h% t ll be expected, while, with regard to that bullion, no doubt can be felt but ph ae a c onsiderable accumulation will yet take tii g Under these circumstances a lower rate of eat - s u s st may be anticipated, especially as the terms or doors continue 1 per cent. under the existing e g f ll ;.. a tien at the national establishment. The Bad' . (i prance have made a further relaxation, viz., to mo de C ent., cent., and in most isf the other continental Markets indications of greater ease are IT rent.

The whole of the supply was disposed of at fully last week's currency. There was a fair Average arrival of both English and Scoth-fed beasts 'fresh up to this morning's market, and the quality of most breeds was tolerably prime. Owing chiefly to the favourable change in the weather the beef trade ruled steady at fully last Monday's quotations. The general top figure for beef was 48 Bd, but some superior lots valued at 44 101 per Sibs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire vre received 2,0J0 Scots and short-horns ; from other parts of England, 800 of various breeds; from Scotland, 700 Scots; and from Ireland, 270 oxen. We were again very moderately supplied with sheep, in the condition of which we observed very little improve ment compared with most previous weeks. The mutton trade was in a healthy state, and prioes generally were well supported. The prirnest old Downs sold at 5s 2d per Sibs. The few calves in the market moved off steadily at very full prices. Th 3 top quotation for veal was 5a 2d per 81bs. Some small porkers sold steadily at full prices. In other kinds of pork very little was doing, on former terms. The supply was again limited.

Fine barley supported previous currencies, but other kinds were dull and drooping. In other articles very little ...liminess was transacted. The French and other continental markets continue heavy, yet very little change has taken place i❑ prices. In the United States produce almost generally has ruled about stationary. Only moderate supplies of English grain wore received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 3,676 quarters of wheat, 25,090 barley, 3,812 oats, 2,485 beans, 50 peas, 20 tares, 6,220 linseed, 5,815 rapeseed, 20 mustard-seed, 418 sundry seeds, 1,768 sacks and 6,434 barrels of flour. The quantity of wheat received, fresh up to-day, from Essex and Kent, coastwise, was only moderate, and the receipts by land carriage from the whole of the near counties were limited. The show of samples, therefore, was far from extensive. The trade was not so heavy as on Monday last ; nevertheless, sales progressed slowly at about that day's decline in the quotations. The general condition of the samples was tolerably good. We were well supplied with nearly all kinds of foreign wheat. Gsod and fine qualities were held with more firmness ; but the business doing in them was only mode rate. Inferior qualities ruled heavy, at barely late rates. Floating cargoes of grain met a dull inquiry. Fine malting barley was disposed of at full prices. Grinding and distilling sorts met a dull inquiry at late rates. Malt was heavy, but no actual fall took place in its value. There was a fair inquiry for good sound oats at full quo tations. Damp parcels were much neglected. For beans —the show of which was only moderate—we had a slow inquiry on former terms, to is. per quarter less money. Peas changed bands slowly, yet prices were supported. The flour trade was very slow at last week's quotations. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

NEVINS V. BRADLEY. The merits of this cause were disposed of by a judg ment of his Honour the Master of the Rolls last term, and the only point in the cause remaining to be disposed of by his Honour this morning, was the question of costs in the cause. This was a suit between partners for the dissolution of their partnership. His Honour said that he bad allowed the question of costs to stand over in the hope that the parties would enter into an amicable arrangement and settle the costs themselves, but as they had not done so, he would now dispose of Clem He bad again read through the papers in the cause, and be had nothing to add to tha opinion that he formerly expressed at the hearing, and in delivering judgment in the cause. His Lordship dismissed the bill, with costs, PEILLON V. BROOKING. At the sitting of the Court this morning, his Honour the Master of the Rolls took occasion to mention this cause. His Honour said that he had reconsidered this case, and he was of opinion that the agreement entered into between the parties could be very well carried out prac tically, and that it should be so carried out. Toere was no objection to the agreement, so far as it related to the arrears of interest. His Honour passed the usual decree for carrying into effect the agreement. Costs of all parties to come out of the estate. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day. MA RLBOROUGH-STREET. ANOTHER WONDER.—A RIVAL TO FEIKELL I—Burnet Acorn, a German tailor, who gave his address Little Windmill-street, was charged before Mr. Bingham with endeavouring to obtain a sum of money from the cele brated Physician, Wiljalba Frikell, under threat of pro claiming to the world the secret of one or more of his astonishing feats of legerdemain, if the same were not paid him. Mr. Henry Garrett, of Alfrel-place, Bedford-square, a musician at the St. James's Theatre, said a letter, which he now produced, had been left at the theatre directed to Mr. Frikell, and was opened by the latter in his presence and afterwards handed to him. The letter, which was handed t o th e mag i strate, was some whaClengthy, written in a rather familiar style, but in broken English, headed " Dear sir," and to the effect that the writer would really feel himself obliged to enlighten the world on some of Mr. Frikell's secrets, which were equally known to the writer, espe cially the bat trick, it he (Mr. Frikell) did not imme diately pay him well for his silence on the subject. Backing up this communication with his presence on Saturday for Mr. Frikell'e decision, and hoping for the largess he hadstipulated for—theprice for keeping sealed I his lips on the tricks whioh have astonished so many, and leaving Mr. Frikell still without a public rival or competitor—the defendant presented himself at the theatre, when he found himself quickly in the hands of a constable, and—presto! the scene rapidly shifted into the interior of the Vine-street Station-house, and thence inter the police-court on the present charge. There was another witness, but from the particulars of the charge as described, it was considered unnecessary to take his evidence, as he was not ails to tire any new feature to the case. Mr. Bingham said the charge, as it stood, could not be borne out against the defendant for endeavouring to obtain money by threats, or perhaps even false pre tences. It was possible he might know the means by which the hat trick, or any other trick, might be per formed, but the difficulty was to do it ; if he could, let him do it, and set up for himself. He should think the reputation Mr, Frikell had obtained would make him proof against such persons and their attacks, and that he could afford to laugh at such and treat them with the utmost contempt. His worship —then telling the pseudo rival of Wiljslba Frikell to be cautious how he annoyed by letters or otherwise the complainant or any other person, and if he repeated hi s visits to th e th eatre w i th such' motives he should, if brought before hire, certainly put him under recog nisances for future good behaviour—discharged him. The defendant left the court apparently very much chop-fallen at not meeting with a more profitable result from the letter. SPORTING NOTES. SHELLS OF KNOWLEDGE. Taking iute consideration the frequent alternations of frost and mini, the different animals that have early Spring engaeemeuts evince wonderful fitness. Nsarly every training establistiment can show a clean bill of health, and has everything in order to reopen the racing campaign. Perhaps the Epsom horses will sweep cif many of the stakes contested during the text t months, for their number is large and their condition surprisingly forward. Teen Land, too, has not allowed his team to be idle, and his dab log mode of training seems to have had good effect. His horses have been out day after day, and frost or snow they have always done steady exercise. With the speedy Englemera and the clever Amelia, Ben is likely to be fortunate : he has, too, several very useful platers, and with his "jumpers" he seems likely to farm certain steeplechases , . Little Tom is now with him to complete hie education before taking honours at Liverpool. The repute from the North are equally satisfactory. Industrious Mr. Pickering, of Beverley, and others who have an eye to early racing, have forced their work of pre paration, whilst the succession of sheeted regiments which have been seen on the Berkshire Hills show that trainers are no longer idle, and that the covey comforts of the winter's fire-side aro at least interrupted. From Newmarket the accounts are somewhat gloomy, for there are comparatively few horses in the town, and a large :commercial failure has recently caused the inhabitants to seffer much pecusiary incon venience. Death, too, has laid low some of the principal and most respected inhabitants ; he has touched old and young, and there is really something very mournful in the number of persons whom you may meet in the street at tired in deep mourning. I believe that there is scarcely a family in the town that is not clad in all the trappings and the suits of woe. As the spring returns the aspect of Newmarket will become brighter and more cheering. The signs of preparation for the season are variously displayed. Every " open day" is used for the purpose of putting the young 'uns " through the mill," and Flatman, Sly, and Ted Sharpe, booted and spurred, are frequently seen galloping through the town, and the news is rapidly :spread by the " Man at the Corner'' that there is going to be another trial. The first legitimate events of the year will be decided at Lincoln on Thursday and Friday next, and under the new management a more satisfactory meeting than usual will be celebrated. Besides, too, the races will be regarded with more than ordinary interest, for they will afford a slight criterion of the "form" of some of the principal stables. The new scale of weights for the Queen's Plate has been sanctioned by the master of the horse, but it is questionable whether the alteration will be advantageous. Heavy weights are sadly unpopular. The New Turf Reform Bill has not been thrown out. After having been repeatedly sent up to the Lords for reconsideration and revision, and, after having undergone nearly as many alterations as Theseus' ship, it is about to be adopted. I have used the word about a lvisedly, for the new bill has not yet been officially announced, and doubtless some additional clauses may yet be intro duced into it before it becomes law. With certain provisions of the bill I cannot agree. The attempt to suppress p.p. betting will be as about effectual as an effort to extinguish a fire with a water squirt. If p ople choose to bet " play or pay," no rules can prevent them. Betting could not be carried on without a mutual understanding and confidence between layers and backere, and every man who bets with a bookmaker on races that do not came under the p.p. designation will be bound in honour to pay, though his horse do Lot run, if at the time it can be shown that he knew he was entering into a p.p. engagement ; and the committees of the New Room at Newmarket and of Tat tersall's will be compelled, if they wish to preserve that regularity and confidence, without which turf specula tions cannot be carried on, to take cognizance of every dispute respecting bets that have been made play or pay, although they were not made on races that are p.p. The new rules reapectiug p.p. bete are most unjust to bookmakers, and, in fact, they will render bookmaking impracticable. For what purpose Lord Derby made his motion to abolish p.p. betting on handicaps prior to the publication of the weights, I cannot conceive, and I can hardly believe that shou'd a person bet on the Cesare witch Stakes, for instance, prior to the publication of the weights, that he will have either the desire or the power to evade payment if his horse should not run. To show how pernicious such a restrictive role is likely to become, I will suggest a very probable case. Prier to the publication of the weights for the Cesarewitch, A takes of B 400 to 10 about a certain animal. When the weights are announced, that animal may be deemed leniently handicapped, and is advanced to, perhaps, 18 to I. A lays C 200 to 20, and afterwards some accident occurs, and the animal does not run. In that case A would receive 201. from C, and poor busy B would be done out of his "tonner," having, in fact, laid A 400 to 0. Should such a case, and I many such an one will arise, be ever brought before the committee at Tattersall',, how, in justice and in fair play, could they decide against B And, even if they did, would not every person regard A as something worse than a mere defaulter, and as one with whom it would be desirable not to have any transactions ? A person who would take advantage of the new rules, in the manner indicated above, would be scouted by every individual on the turf, although he would be supported by the "rules and orders" of the committee at Tatter- call's and of Newmarket. Such a man would never obtain admittance to the Victoria Club. That the rules have been revised with much care I readily acknowledge, and I cordially appreciate the good intentions and commendable zeal of the gentlemen who undertook so onerous and disagreeable a work. They doubtless expected that their labours would receive some adverse criticism, and are, perhaps, scarcely annoyed at being what the Admiral, who holds with so much tact and ability the helm of racing affairs, once uncourtoously designated "popinjays for every scribbler." It is as easy to stop p. p. betting by legislating as to stem a torrent by looking at it. The acceptances for the Spring Handicaps are nume rically satisfactory. Those for the Chester Cup show hew widely the ability and discrimination displayed by Mr. Topham in affixing the weights have been appre ciated. I, too, have cause for gratulation, for the very horses which I selected as being worthy of notice have accepted, and of those, three are now the leading favourites, whilst others in which I expressed say want of coefidence have either receded several points in the betting or have been knocked out altogether. I have extended my "notes" beyond their usual and must, therefore, postpone the remarks which, when I sat down to write, I intended to make on the Handicap and Derby horses. February 8.

CHARGE OF STABBING.--Theodore Robert Krolft, a German seaman, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stabbing another German, named Strauss, the keeper of an infamous house, No. 1, Albert-place, Shad well. It appeared that last night there was a row in the complainant's house between some foreign sailors and the loose women dwelling there, in which Mrs. Strauss joined. The prisoner made a blow at the landlady, and her husband went between them, when the prisoner made a blow at Strauss with a knife, and stabbed him on the head, inflicting a severe wound, from which the blood flowed copiously. Ile was removed to the surgery of Mr. Itos , , in Shadwell, who dressed his wound. The prisoner threw the knife away, and concealed himself in the same neighbourhood. He was taken into cus tody. The knife was found in the street ; the blade was stained with blood. The prisoner made some remark in broken English, relating to the character of the prosecu'or's honse. Strauss—lt's a lie, a lie. Mr. Yardley (indignantly)—lf you make use of that language again, sir, I will turn you out of court. Do you think, air, you follow a legal occupation in keeping a brothel. If you can find no better occupa tion the sooner you go back to your own country the better. The stab was clearly proved, and it appeared there wa3 a most desperate row in the house of the pro secetor, which one of a most infamous character. Mr. Yardley said, that bad as the people were who kept the house, they must not be stabbed. There was no doubt the prisoner used his knife in a mo.t disgraceful affray. He fined the prisoner 405., and in default of payment, 14 days' imprisonment. EXECUTION Op CHRISTIAN BATTLER. The execution of this unfortunate and wretched crirui nal, took place this morning at eight o'clock in front o Newgate. From an early hour a great number of persons as sembled in front of the gallows, and till the linur fixed fer the execution, amused themselves in the usual morbid manner. The officials of the gaol were in attendance shortly after seven o'clock, and shortly afterwards the unfortunate man was conveyed to the press-room and there under went the operation of pinioning. At mitt o'clock the death-bell commenced tslling, and Mr. Davis, the ordinary of Newgate, having commenced reading the burial service the procession moved towards the drop. Sattler having taken leave of the Sheriffs, the signal was given, the drop fell, and offended justice was satis fied. The body after banging an hour was cut down by Calcraft and will, in conformity with the sentence, be interred within the wale of the prison. RESPITE OF MELLOR.—From inquiries made last evening at the Kirkdal• Gaol, our correspondent learned that a communication had been received from Sir Geo. Grey respiting the execution of the condemned Mellor for a month._Manchester Guardian. TRH WXSTMINSTBR ABBEY AND ST. MARGARET'S SE RVlCES.—Yesterday evening the sixth of the West minster Abbey services, designed for the benefit of the working classes, was held in the nave of the venerable building. In older to provide accommodation for those who are unable to obtain admission into the abbey, special services have been instituted in St. Margaret's Church, and both edifices were last night filled to over flowing. At the abbey there was, as usual, full choral service, prayers being said by the Rev. J. C. Haden, M.A., one of the minor canons ; and the lessons were read by the Very Rev. Dr. Trench, the Dean of Westminster. The Rev. Dr. G. Mobeiley, head master of Winchester College, was the preacher. He selected for his text the Bth chapter of St. John's Gospel, the 33d and following verses. The preacher made a most earnest appeal to his vast congre gation to emancipate themselves from the state of sin and slavery, assuring all who heard him that the prayer of even the most profligate would be heard. An anthem from the Book of Kings having been sung, the congre gation dispersed. At St. Margaret's Church, adjacent to the abbey, Archdeacon Sinclair preached to a largo congregation. ASTLUM FOR FEMALE ORPHANS, LAIIIIETEC—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary, attended by Baron Knesebeck and suite, visited the chapel of this institution yesterday morning. Five young women, of whom one is in the service of her Majesty, were present, and received the customary certificate of good conduct, together with a purse containing five guineas. The sermon on the occa sion was preached by the morning preacher, the Rev. John Jessopp, M.A., chaplain to hie Majesty the King of the Belgians. The chapel, which contains upwards of 1,109 persons, was crowded to overflowing, many being compelled to stand for want of room. Her royal highness, at the conclusion of the service, intimated t,) the secretary that Kew Church had been granted at hei request for a sermon on behalf of the funds of the charity, and expressed her wish that Mr. Jessopp should preach on that occasion. Her royal highness then went over the institution, and complimented the matron on the healthy and cheerful appearance of the children. APPOINTMENTS.—The Queen has appointed Mr. Ham mond, her Majesty's Advocate-General for Jersey, to the office of Bailiff of that island, vacant by the death of Sir T. Le Breton. We understand that the appsint meat was offered, in the first instance, to Mr. Caney, the bailiff of Guernsey, who declineci to accept it. Colonel Neal, her Majesty's Consul at Varna, is appoints I Consul at Parse. Mr. Horatio Sutler is appointed British Consul at Varna. THE RETURN of SIR THOUS ASEIBURNHAIC—This evening Mr. Warren will ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether it is true that General Aslaburnham proceeded from China to India in pursuance of i nstruc• Lions from home, and whetter be has since returned to England, and, if so, under what circumstances, whether voluntary, or whether he has been recalled ; and, in th e latter to s t a t e on e latter case, whether there be any what grounds 7 LITERATURE. Memoirs of Beranger. Written by himself. 1 vol. Hurst and Blackett. The zuomoirs of one so eminent in the literary world —one who first raised the nuuable profession of chanson:nice to the dignity of the poet—who has had the honour of endurieg persecution for his advocacy of the popular cause, and who has so lady exchanged th e b ay tree for th e cypress, can not fail to attract immediate avid interested atten tion. The memoir,, as they are called, are in reality little more than an outline, rather indicating the chief points of . his career and character than affording U 3 any minute or satisfactory knowledge of them. Nevertheless, as the autobiography written by his own hand, and as showing u s a pic ture rather of what he was than of what he did, it is full of interest. The pictures of his early life and its vicissitudes—of his steadfast refusal to com promise his independence by accepting the favours offered to him by wealthy or powerful friends—of his persistence in setting forth his opinions when most dangerous to himself, so long as he deemed it to the public advantage, all tend to prove the elevation of his character, and the purity of his patriotism. English readers will find something to forgive in the few remarks that are introduced about England, but it must be remembered that he belonged to the generation that naturally felt embittered ; and Beranger himself, notwithstand ing his democracy, was not too wise to be dazzled by the glory of the first Empire. Many of those who admire the ease and grace of Beranger's verses will be surpt i sed to learn that he composed them very slowly, "having never," he says, " composed more than fifteen or sixteen songs in the year, some of them in a few hours, but the greatest number with deliberation and care. But many years were far from being so abundant. The time of their composition was a matter of caprice ; and I have known eight or nine months to pass without the production of a single verse, even at the time when I was most diligent." Though disclaiming the praises lavished on his genius, &ranger evidently felt the effect, of his songs on the people, and cuerished his chosen path. " I was born in a greater or less degree a poet, fitted to excel in a peculiar style, and I did not at first perceive that that element of poetry which was in me could find scope in this species of composition, which was much less studied than practised. Reflection at lenght taught me its capabilities. Song, moreover, opened up to me a path in which my genius could develop itself at ease. I escaped by it from academical requirements, and I had at my disposal the whole dictionary—of which, according to La Harpe, four-fifths are excluded from our poetry." Devoting himself to his favourite pur suit, and surrounded by congenial spirits, the life of Berauger, as drawn by himself, shows a picture of content and freedom from care rarely accorded to those who mingle in the literary and political worlds. The simplicity of his tastes, and his habit of saying " I am poor" among the wealthy, pre vented his limited income from being a source of annoyance to him, and the strict economy he exer cised, left him the means of benefitting others. It seemed as if he had started in life with the opinion men usually form at its conclusion, of the futility of a search for happiness, which he himself expresses in his chanson of Le Bonheur, after pursuing the chimera through both hem;spheres— "Le vois to bien, la-baa, la-Sas. La-bas, dans cea nuages, Helas dit l'bomme, enfin vieax et las. C'est trot) d'inutiles voyages." The translation is faithful and elegant, and the appendix, with the letters it contains, is a valuable addition. It is a work which will probably obtain a large circulation here, where the French chanson nier is held in more esteem than more ambitious poets among his countrymen, FRENCII DESPATCH. The following is a translation of the despatch from the French Minister for Foreign Affairs which Lord Palmerston laid on th e t a bl e of the House of Commons on Saturday : " COUNT WALEWSKI TO COUNT PERSIGNY. " Paris, Jan., 20, 1858. "Monsieur le Comte,—The preliminary proceed ings inlitituted ou the criminal attempt of which the person of the Emperor has been the object, are pursuing their course, and we shall ere long learn the definitive result ; but there is one point on which, even at present, we can have no doubt ; this attempt, like those which have preceded it, has been projected in England. " It was in England that Pisr.ori formed the design of attacking the Emperor ; it was from London that, in on affair the recollection of which is still fresh, Mazzini, Ledru Rolin, an d Campa nella directed th e hi re d bravos whose hands they had armed. It was there also that the authors of the late conspiracy have prepared at leisure their means of action, studied and fabricated the in struments of destruction of which they made use, and it was thence that they started to execute their plan. "In establishing these facts, I hasten to add how much the Government of the Emperor is pe netrated with the sincerity of the sentiments of re probation which they have raised in England. It is equally convinced that, with such proofs of the abuse of hospitality before them, the English Go vernment and people will from the present under stand how far we are justified in anxiously consi dering them (fondes a nous en pmoccuper). " No one appreciates and respects more than ourselves the liberality with which England loves to practise the right of asylum towards foreigners, vie. tims of political struggles. France has on her part always regarded it as a duty of humanity never to close her frontiers to any honourable misfortune to whatever party it might belong; and the Govern ment of his Majesty has no intention of complaining that its adversaries can find a refuge on English soil and live there peaceably, under the protection of British laws, while remaining faithful to their opinions, even to their passions. " But, Monsieur le Comte, how widely different is the attitud3 of the adepts in demagogy estab lished in England ! It is no longer the hostility of erring parties manifesting itself by all the ex cesses of the press and every violence of language ; it is no longer even the labour of the factious seek ing to agitate public opinion and to provoke disor der ; it is assassination reduced to a doctrine, preachel openly, practised in repeated attempts, the most recent of which has just struck Europe with stupefaction (vient de trapper VEurope de stupeur), Ought, then, the right of asylum to protect such a state of things ? Is hospitality due to assas sins? Ought English legistation serve to favour their designs and their manoeuvres, and can it con tinue to protect persons who place themselves by flagrant acts without the pale of common law, and expose themselves to the ban of humanity ? " In submitting these questions to the Govern ment of her Britannic Majesty, the Government of the Emperor not only discharges a duty towards it self, it responds to the sentiment of the country which demands such a proceeding under the press sure of most legitimate anxieties (qui Cy invite sous l' empire des plus legitimes preoccupations), and which in a circumstance where joint responsi b ility (solidarite) between all nations and all Governments is so evident, believes that it has the right to count i, b ygi upon the cooperation of England. The recur rence averting which twe are all v. us i and the perversity of these guilty enterpris es sub ing ject France to a danger bound to provide. The Government of h er B ri- n a gMaujeasrtayntee can assist u against i in of security, w hi c h no State can l use c to a neighbouring St a t e , an d which we are authorised in expecting from au ally. Full of con fidence, moreover, in the exalted reason of the Eng lish m th e i a s s u w r i e s s h . which e e a l y y b in e s t u h i i t s a b in l e a t t t o er ta e k n e . Cabinet, we abst a i n f rom all indications as re tgtioarresdl)as'toitsn them (the English Cabinet) for the care of appreciating the decisions which they shall judge the most proper to lead to this end, and we congra tulate ourselves (110113 210113 complaisons) in the firm persuasion that we shall not have appealed in vain to their conscience and their loyalty. " You will be so good as to real this despatch to Lord Clarendon, and give him a copy of Ac &c., (Signed) "A. WALEWSKI." THE ALHAMBRA PALACE.--Yesterday evening we visited the old Pacodticon, in Leicester-square, now called the Alharahra Palace, which has lately been opened by Mr. E. T. Smith, of Drury-lane, for the purpose of giving evening lectures, in conjunction with the best description of sacred music, The lecture, or, as it wag advertised, the " icaugurative sermon," was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Rutherford, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and was folio ved by the perf“rmance of Handel', " Messiah." We refrain from crit rising either the sermon or the music, acd will therefore merely observe upon that which is undoubtedly excellent. Those who have visited the building and are acquainted with its general features can imagine the effect of well-appointed arrangements, such as the energetic Mr. Smith alwaYa brings to bear up( n any u ndertaking with which he becon t ;S r i connected.
