I will fulfil it as a man of hocoir. I shall regard as foes to their country all who v►ould attempt to change by illegal means that which the whole of France has established." Fourthly, "Three years later, on the 2d December, 1851, the Legislative Assembly was violently dissolved. All the representatives devoted to the Republic were incarcerated, and the following document was posted all over Paris :—" The President of the Republic decrees—Art. 1. The National Assembly is dissolved. Art. 2. Universal suffrage is re-established ; the law of May 31 is abrogated. Art. 3. The French people are summoned to assemble in its comitire from December 14 to December 21. Art. 4. Martial law is proclaimed throughout the first military division.—Done at the Palace of the Elysee, December 2, 1851." The whole signed with the name of the PRESIDENT. Fifthly, "On the 3d of December the Minister of War issued the following order, unexampled in the history of our civil wars :—' Any individual caught in arms, or constructing or defending a barricade, shall be shot. — The General of Division, Minister of War, D. S XINT AIINAUD.' While, Sixthly and lastly, on the 4th December the Prefect of Police issued another pro clamation to the effect—' People on foot must not remain stationary in the streets. Any groups found on the public throughfares will be dispersed by force without any preliminary summons. Let peace ful citizens remain at home. There would be serious danger in attempting to interfere with the disposi tions that have been taken.—DE " Such in the midst of the preparing transformation of the EMPEROR'S regime from a Despotism into a Constitutional Government—such is the summing up of the ultra democratic indictment levelled against him ! The journal containing all this is for sale publicly in the streets of Paris, at the kiosks studded along the boulevards ! And they say that they have not, or, at any rate, some people imagine that they have not, liberty of the Press under the Imperial rule of a NAPOLEON ! THE disclosures respecting the condition of the Indian finances are very remarkable and very unsatisfactory. Although there is a Minister appointed expressly to deal with the accounts of our Eastern Empire, and although the present Minister has spent nearly all his life in the public service of that country, there has been blunder upon blunder, and a large deficit is now staring us in the face. Of course an equilibrium can be re-established. India is not so heavily taxed but what it is able to bear fresh taxation ; the Indian military and civil establishments are not so economically managed but what there is room for reduction of expenditure. A. little self-denial now will enable the country to right itself. Unfortunately, it does not appear that Indians are prepared to exercise this virtue to any large extent. The Indian Government has given notice that it intends to reduce the expenditure upon the public works. This decision, we trust, is not final. It would be most unwise. India is a country of enormous population, without proper means of transit, and liable to frequent famines. Roads would place the cotton-planters in a position to compete successfully with those of Egypt and even the United States ; railroads would double our military strength, by facilitating the transport of troops from one part of India to another ; works of irrigation would render possible the storage of the tropical rains which now devastate the country with floods, and then, passing off, leave it exposed to drought. To delay such works as these is simply to throw away money, and, far worse, to sacrifice life. Every architect knows that he builds most cheaply who builds most quickly, that he who lays out all his money in a few months will get a return sooner than he who spreads the expenditure over years. Yet what is the policy of the Indian Government ? Even before it was resolved to reduce the expenditure upon public works it was determined to spend twenty years in constructing what is called the " missing link," the line that is to connect Delhi ss ich Ulu 30111clo Railivny, although the engineers wanted but six years to com plete it. At the same time that there is this unwise parsimony there is most unwise extravagance. Recently the Indian Government determined to make railways for itself, and imported a large staff of engineers and employes to construct the lino to Peshawur. Yet though they have been out for six months and their salaries have been incurred through out that time, not a sod has been turned. As for the works of irrigation, it seems nothing less than criminal to delay these, remembering the famine in Orissa, and the dearth which has prevailed throughout - - West provinces. theTphreerseeit isi o y n e e ar m i o n th rea e si N le o c r t t o h f Indian finance which needs comment. It is the moral aspect. The Indian Government does almost nothing for the religious training of its lower-class employes. A well-informed correspondent and eye-witness of the facts writes, that near the station at Lahore there is a colony of people, belonging to the railway, and consisting of engine -drivers, plate -layers, and labourers, and living in a state of the worst drunkenness, degra dation, and heathenism. The shareholders in England refuse to pay anything towards a chaplain for these people, and the Government does not take notice of an d the mission ar i es w ho attempt them. Thus neglected, they are a standing reproach to our Christianity, to convert the native Indians are met with the taunt that Englishmen can have little faith in their religion if they allow their own people to grow up without either chaplain or schoolmaster. Then, again, there is the accursed opium traffic which we make one of the sources of our income. This impost is not only immoral ;it is also uncertain. The revenue from it can never he estimated beforehand within 50 per cent. The duty may bring in six millions or nine, and thus Indian finance is always uncertain. When will Indians have the courage to surrender a tax which is as capricious as it is inhuman ? WE have not yet come to the end of railways. St. Andrew's Day will probably witness a goodly number of plans and sections deposited in Parliament-street, even though the money market is so dull and public confidence is all but annihilated. Mr. FAlnmE's invention is probably destined to pr oduce mo s t important results. These we will not attempt to estimate on the pres en t occasion. We wi s h rather to point out th e advantages whic h ma y be derived from the adopti on o f a principle hitherto new to railway finance: That principle may be stated in four words-words-=" N line, no e at," In Other Wordeli landoWileii who wish to have a line in their neigh bourhood, and who ar e willing to sub scribe for the hut who are net willing construction of it, to put their money into the pockets of engineers and barristers without any result, may undertake to take shares in the line when it is made, anti on the understanding that they shall be in no way revonsible until then. For instance, supposing a branch line Qf Jour 91 ITC' male.*has to be made, in order to bring' dertain property within roach of railway accommodation, the cost would be from twenty to twenty-five thousand pounda, and the works could be constructed in six, nine, or twelve months, as the MO rilay be.

The Irreconcileables in France —meaning thereby the would-if-they-could-be Revolutionists —are doing their very utmost to justify the EMPEROR in any amount of reaction and repression. They are assail ing the Imperial Government with a flagrant malig nity and an insolent audacity, which are, even by them, unparalleled. The ;Rappel is beaten jusqua l'extermination. The din raised by it, and by the Reforme, and the Revell is like the sounding of a tocsin. The three journals we have named are true to their antecedents. They rage and foam against NAPOLEON 111. as though they were simply inspired by those who are nothing less than demented. One of the three, the one intermediately mentioned, boldly arraigns the EMPEROR at the bar of public opinion in an elaborate argument, entitled signifi cantly " Our Dead." It commences its attack by demanding from all Democrats " a tribute of respect to the innocent victims of the coup (Taut." It re minds its readers that those victims were unarmed. That they included among their number old men, and women, and children. It shrinks not from the re minder, that they were shot down on the streets and boulevards, in which they chanced to be at the time, as peaceful wayfarers. It says this, while in the same moment naively asking—in reference to the victims— " Where were their remains buried?" Adding, yet more naively, "No one can tell." Precisely—it were difficult, indeed, to say where lie hidden away the debris of a hypothetic:,) hecatomb. " A fe - ,v were taken to the cemeteries"—Eraetly ! Those, namely, who lamentably fell in consequence of their own hair-brained temerity in going into the very streets and boulevards from which they had been solemnly warned by Proclamation. " A few were taken to the cemeteries—but how many corpses did the Seine eogulph? how many ? No one knows." Not a doubt of it—nobody does know, or possibly can know, what never took place, what never could have taken place by any possibility. The Seine is not like the hole in the Forum—a bottomless abyss. Sub merge, in the current of the river flowing through Paris, any considerable number of dead bodies, and , according to the laws of nature, decomposition itsel f would cause the revelation of the atrocity sooner or later. Sunk, weighted, to the bottom—the navi gation of the river would be obstructed. Thrown in unweighted, after the lapse of a given number of hours, the mouldering remains would float to the surface, and thereby reveal themselves. Therefor ' there is an acquittal of the Author of the coup d'etat from this monstrously extrava gant charge of a wholesale and utterly wanton massa , : ce could ol: iy have d (which could have done no good, one harm to the cause he was en ...eavouring to promote, supposing it to have been thereby carried out)—there is, we say, a distinct acquittal of the EMPEROR from the absurd charge of this wholesale and wanton massacre (which never took place) by the declaration of the Reform that " No one can tell" where the victims were buried ! And that "No one knows" how many the Seine engulphed ! No one possibly can know. No oue possibly can tell. The dead were buried away in the cemeteries. The wounded were carried away to the hospitals. The political prisoners, taken in the streets, but thee, by the way, not unarmed, were deported to the penal settlement at Cayenne. Those are the facts. That is the summing np of an out break, the summary suppression of which was con doned by all France immediately after wards—namely, by the votes of nearly eight millions of her adult male population. Forgetting that rather important fact, the Reform howls over its ram3mbranc3 It diatribe, of a stupendous massacre that never happened.t then follows up its incoherent by giving, with a black border to it,who alistw ere (extending through four columns) of the people killed on Thatese4mthh reofarDraeyceomf December, 1851, names—nameson the of e ßoulevards. per fectly authentic throughout—is thereupon succeeded by what the irreconcilable journalist entitles "A Page of history." And it certainly is an im portant page— a page including in it half a dozen very stalking reminders. First " On the 26th of September, 1848, Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE took his seat in the Constituent Assem bly and uttered the following words— , After 33 years' proscription and exile, I am at last restored to my country and all my rights as a citizen For this happiness I am indebted to the Re public. To the Republic I tender my oath of gra titude, my oath of devotedness.'" Secondly, "On the ensuing 27th of November Loris NAPOLEON came forward as candidate for the Presidency of the Re public, and thus concluded his manifesto. if lam electctt as President, I shalt cors;ile l / 4 . , lh ininotir pledged to handing ovor Rilecessor, after four years Lave cxpirkl3 ) Mg-Alter with a consolidated Go vernment, liberty unimpaired and great progress ac complished.' " Thirdly, "On the 26th December LOUIS NAPOLEON was installed a 9 President of the Republic ; where, introduced into the Chamber and called to take the chair, be said, 'ln presence of GOD and before the French people, represented by the National Assembly, I swear to uphold the Demo cratic Republic one and indivisible, and to fulfil all the duties which the Constitution entails upon me,' " which is equal to a 5 per cent. dividend on £32,000, CENTRAL CHAMBER OF AGRICULTURE. or more than £6,000 per mile of railway. • The advantages of this system are obvious. The landowner knows that his money is not spent in pre liminary expenses which may lead to no result. He le not asked to sink money which, even if the line is completed, may be unproductive for many years while it is being constructed. The line is made at cash prices, and those unfortunate shareholders who know what contractors' lines cost will appreciate this advantage. The bankers are secured, as the money is advanced only as the works proceed, and with the last advance the repayment of the whole is secured. In fact, this scheme is, so far as they are concerned, nothing more or less than discounting the landowners' bills at six, nine, or twelve months. Finally, the system makes the landowners hearty supporters of the line. The time is come when railways, if they are made at all, must be made by the landowners. They used to be the chief obstructives, and to fleece the shareholders. They must now he the foremost promoters, and them selves the shareholders. They can well afford to do this, seeing how great is the benefit conferred upon an estate by the close proximity of a railway. LATEST INTELL MENGE (REUTER's TELEGrams.) A meeting of the council of the Central Chamber of Agri culture was held on Tuesday at the Salisbury Hotel; Mr. Smell Read, M.P., in the chair. It was arranged that the annual meeting should be held on the Wednesday, in the Smithfield Show week. It was resolved that the subject for discussion at the February meeting should be—" The best mode of providing for the future maintenance of tu_-7- pike roads other than highways?' Mr. READ said that by fixing the subject thus early the country chambers would have an opportunity of discussing the matter fully. _ Mr. GAUDNER (Kent) proposed "That in the opinion of this Council the corn averages as at present taken aro fal lacious, and that the buyers' returns should be limited to purchases from growers only." Mr. SMITIIIN (Worcester) said that the buyers only returned the best samples, so that higher averages were struck than ought to be the case. Every purchase should be returned if they wanted to get the true state of affairs. He proposed that the growers make the returns. Mr. CLAY seconded the original motion. Mr. MAI' (Warwick) said that in his district he hadmacle enquiries, and found that many persons did not make returns, and told him they were not obliged to do so. If they got the returns from growers, they would know really how much corn they had. This was especially the case with barley, which was largely used as food for the cattle. If the landlords paid the tithe, there would not be the necessity that now existed for the returns. Mr. VARDEN (Worcester) seconded the amendment. The subject would be always important, for if the tenant did not pay the tithe, the landlord would have to do so. Mr. DUCKHAM (Hereford) said it was the opinion of a great number of people that growers should make the re turns; but he thought there would be a difficulty in doing so. Many of the tenants would think that the return was only an inquisitorial ono, and made for the purpose of lightening the rent. If the present system was continued buyers should return to the Inland Revenue the quantity and price of all corn bought. Mr. SIMMERS (Leicester) thought the buyers would always take a fair average, as it would be against their interests to give the higher or the lower rate. Mr. Buncx (Worcester) thought the law ought to be put • in force. There was a penalty of £2O if returns were not made monthly, and it was a misdemeanour to falsify a return. Mr. SMITH (Essex) thought if the average could be on the assumed value of the present returns, or the area of the towns extended, they would get a better return. The CHAIRMAN asked why the provinces should make the returns ? Should they have thirty or forty returns instead of one ? and would the returns made by the pro vinces be more reliable than the present returns ? Unless the farmer took his stale and inferior corn into the market. it would no more get into the market than at present. Mr. SMITHIN withdrew his amendment, and the original motion was then carried nenz. con. Mr. DUCKHAM commenced the next business by moving the following motion :—" That, in tho opinion of this council, all agricultural produce should be sold by weight only." He pointed out the variations in the weight of the bushel at different markets. When they wanted information as to the price they had always to work a rule of three sum. It was impossible to tell from the papers the price of corn in any one town unless the reader knew the number of pounds that went to the bushel in the town specified. He thought that it would be more convenient to weigh than to measure the corn. There was such a difference in weighers that he would say that no two men would measure a thousand bushels of corn alike. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WILI.SON seconded the motion. Mr. BowEx JONES (Shropshire) said his Chamber had fully considered the subject. lie agreed with Mr. Duck ham's remarks. Mr. PELL, M.P., said that in the Midland Counties the system advocated in that chamber was practically carried out. In that district they would not think of selling by measure. If the law was to sell by measure, and the prac tice to do so was by weight, the two ought to be assimilated. At Leicester there was 81b. more to the sack than at Northampton, and yet the two places were well con nected by rail, In measuring they had to employ, as it were, skilled labour ; there was great inconvenience and expense; but with weight they did away with all that, Those who advocated measuring would no doubt say by that system a better idea of the value of corn could be formed. Mr. DUCKTIA3I added to his former remarks that he would have it enacted that fruit also should be sold by weight. Very often the buyers' measures were of a peculiar size, but if weight was uniformly adopted a firm and equitable system would be in vogue. The CHAIRMAN said that the Norfolk chamber had re commended that 1411 r. should be the standard weight. Much fewer mistakes would be made in weight than measure ; but he did not see how all together weight could he taken solely without regard to capacity. The motion was then carried non. con. The next motion was, "That the cental of 1001bs. should be the standard." Mr. Wur.tsoN, in moving that motion, thought both fax fruit and cern, the cental would be a convenient measure. Mr. WATSON seconded tho proposition. The merchants of Liverpool had adopted the system, and it seemed to give general satisfaction. lie was with those who wished for a different measure for each kind of corn, as he believed it would suit the farmers better. Mr. VARDEN did not think the cental was applicable to fruit. Mr. PELL, ➢I.P., questioned if it would be wise to discuss the minor products of the farmer. Violets, peppermint, &c., were agricultural products, and how could they sell them by the cental? Mr. BOWEN JONES opposed the resolution, and denied that the cental worked well in Liverpool. He would like the ton to be the standard, as it was better known all over the world than the cwt. He moved a resolution to that effect. _ _ . Mr. ANDREWS seconded that amendment. Mr. SEWELL READ, M.P., spoke of the great difficulty in unlearning old customs. He thought there were good and scientific grounds for adopting the cental. The ton, he thought, was too great in its proportion. The amendment and original resolution were then put to the meeting, and the latter adopted Vent. con. It was then agreed that the resolutions should be sent to the country Chambers and the Board of Trade. Th e ra ilway tunnel proposed under the Severn will be 1,320 yards in length. If carried out, the distance between the South Wales district and London will be shor tened to the extent of 171 miles, thereby reducing the cost of coals alone to London by upwards of ls. per ton. The time saved by the passenger express trains will be, at least 30 minutes, and ordinary trains 48 minutes. The guardians of the Carnarvon Union, antici ,ating an election of an officer, expressed a desire to do so by ballot. Prior to the election the clerk communi cated with the Poor-law Board as to whether this moe.o of election would bo valid, and the following answer was received, signed by Mr. 11. Fleming, secretary : " I am directed to state that in the opinion of the Board it is very desirable that the votes of the guardians in the election of an officer should be given openly, and not in any secret mode. The board are not, however, prepared to say that the election would be invalid if the votes were taken by ballot." The guardians appeared satisfied with the reply, and desired the clerk to make a special note of it to guide them in future.

The Ministry, as reconstituted, presented them selves to the Cortes to-day. Marshal Prim explained that the cause of the crisis had been the question of the candidatures to the throne. Every effort to solve that question had, however, proved hitherto unavailing, on ac count of the attitude of the Unionists. The Go vernment would, however, remain faithful to the principles of the Revolution. Seniors Rios and Ardanax, of the Unionist party, promised to support the Government. The sittings of the Cortes then adjourned. The Epoca and Correspondencia of this evening asserts that Admiral Topete insists upon leaving the Cabinet, giving as his motive the question of candidature to the throne. Marshal Prim has de clared that he will also leave the Cabinet should Admiral Topete not withdraw his resignation. ITALY. BEINDIsi, Nov. 2.

Michaelmas term opened on Tuesday with the usual forma lities at the private residence of the Lord Chancellor and in Westminster Hall. At the former the Lord Mayor Elect (Mr. Alderman Bosley) was presented to Lord Hatherley by the Recorder of London, who said that the recipient of the highest civic honours for the ensuing year was a gentleman who had pursued all honourable commercial career in the City of London, and one who, on the death of Sir Peter Laurie, in 1861, had been elected by the inhabitants of the Ward 01 Aldersgate to represent them in the court of aldermen. His magisterial and other duties had been always creditably performed, and he bed, also worthily filled the ancient and honourable (Ace of sheriff. Some other complimentary things having been said by the Recorder, the Lord Chancellor announced her Majesty's approval of the choice of Mr. William 8010, as Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, and the "loving clipe went round. The civic authorities then reti r e d, and judges and leading members of the bar wer e received bY ' Lord Hatherley. From Great George - stree t, hard by the Courts of Law, the Chancellor and his colleagues wended their way to Westminster Hall where a large crowd 104 assembled. The entrance of the legal luminarie s was They so imposing as it would have been if the contin uit y of the procession bad been preserved. In truth, her M a j estY.e' representatives got into Westminster Hall in a manner sufficiently fragmentary to detract conside rabl y frail th the dignity of the spectacle. The carriages of the Lord Chancellor, the Master of the Rolls, Chief Justice Bovill and Chief Baron Kelly kept well together,' so that their occupants alighted rapidly enough after each other to move up the hall.in comparatively close single fil e through the lines of spectators. So long a time , however, elapsed before the carriages of the other learned judges arrived, that the public thought there was nothing more to see, and the knots of gazers outside hastened to mingle with those inside the building. Lor d Justice Giffard, therefore, when he appeared, had hardly so clear a space through which to pass as could hale been desired, and the remainder of the judges were 0 1 9 , got in at all by having a passage forced for them by tb°ol° police. In addition to those already m e n tioned, following walked up the hall, viz.:—Vice-Chance llor Malins, Mr. Justice Willes, Mr. Justice Keating, Mr. Baron Bramwell, Mr. Justice Mellor, g r ' Baron Pigott, Mr. Justice Byles, Mr. Justice Blackburn, Mr. Justice Lush, Mr. Justice Brett, and gr' Baron Cleasby. As usual, the Lord Chief Justice of England found no place in the pr over sion. It was also noticeable that Vice-Chance llor James was absent, and as he does not sit to-day it is solY, posed by some that he is about to be elevat ed to the vacant Lord Justiceship, though others say the post is not th to be filled up. The various judges took the ir seats in eir' several courts, and proceeded to hear motions. THE TENANT - RIGHT MEETING PO' VENTED IN LIMERICK. The Dublin Express gives the following account of the' prevention by Fenian sympathisers of the te nant-right meeting which was to have been held at Limerick :-"" " A monster meeting in favour of tenant right ing haig been organised to be held in the large square of tile' Corn Market, immense numbers of the farwili classes poured into the town from an ear l y hour, 113°:4 the streets were nearly blocked up by the nuoie r ° . 7 cars laden with stout, frieze - coated yeomen, an d cal' cades of horsemen. The Amnesty Association, viewing ti % . " meeting as something antagonistic to their immens gatherings, resolved from the first t o g ive it no COunt°' nance, and it had been feared for some days that collision would take place between the Fenian 000' thisers and the Tenant Leaguers.' A meeting :. however, held on Saturday by the committee of Limerick Amnesty Association, and the following r°°tY ci lution was proposed, seconded, and carried gesorle —That this meeting, taking into account the declarati° of the Irish people, that no co n c ession on the part of t ° Government—not even fixity of tenu re—would be 11" cepted as a measure of conciliation by the Irish lia ti°l3 , 4 % unless preceded by an amnesty to t he p olitical prisone7 as regards the meeting for tena n t -ri g ht, which is to 01*E' place in this city on the I st o f November, as direetli a . posed to the principle which is involved in that deel°ls, tion; and we hereby resolve not to interfere in anY 1 whatever, either in promoting t he said meeting °I. 0 11 opposition to it ; and we respectfully appeal t° r to patriotic citizens to take the - s ame course, in orde avoid even the semblance of disZinion, and that unity enemies of Ireland may not have op for repeating the assertion that all movements for nat"" objects in this country end in discord and d ivi Notwithstanding this, the authorities wisely were oil the'o alert, and an immense police force was ordered into t°l%.: and the military placed under arms and confined to T iO3 racks. It was visible, however, on Monday that 0 0 , meeting would not pass off so quietly as the resolati. declared. The Bedouins of the city, of Fenian proclivittleea were, it was easily seen, bent on mischief, and cong reo i,ig round the Market-square in immense numbers, We31,,,t0 green ribbons. The meeting was to ha ve been held at " o'clock, and exactly at half-past ono a signal of s°lll l kind was given from the opposition ranks—some was a rocket or cracker, and others that a bell '0 rung.
