The working people—at once the lesser and greater portion of every state; the thews and sinews in relationship with which their rulers are the mind—are ever jealous of restrictions or depression in proportion as they acquire more cognizance of their importance in society. It is from this inatten tion to the demands of the people that all those giant outbursts of revolution, which have in various times shaken kingdoms into ruin as with the surges of an earthquake, have originate,i. The plebeians of Rome, the commonality of England, the lazzaroni of Naples, the Tier Etdts of France, have, each of them in succession, asserted their claims to at least a moderate improvement by a ter rible and tumultuous resort to violence. These examples should be warnings against acts of similar short-sightedness on the part of a Legislature, and it is from a consideration of these truths that statesmen have, in more modern times, endeavoured to anticipate the exigencies of the people by amelio rating their condition on the first show of such a ne cessity. In our own country, especially, these at tempts to conciliate the poorer classes have been more frequent and remarkable than elsewhere ; from the suppression of the monastic establishments, in which poverty had received a spontaneous relief, the State had found itself burdened with a numerous and in creasing pauperism. Assessments were made upon the more affluent, authorities instituted to expend the proceeds of the tax upon the indigent; and, finally, buildings erected for diseased or aged paupers. These salutary advances, however, were merely made piecemeal, and at tedious intervals, and their gradual progression towards something more systematic is described with some perspicacity in the opening of an article on " Legislation for the Working Classes," in this quarter's number of the Edinburgh Review. The reviewer has many opinions in which we coincide most thoroughly, while with others we confess ourselves considerably at variance. That Parliament has made repeated efforts to modify the stringency of laws relating to the poor; that Englishmen are not composed of two hideously con trasted bodies, prodigious wealth and utter destitution, but are, on the other hand, to be classified in the aggre gate among a sober and contented middle class; that there is a lack a symmetry in most of the schemes for bettering the influence of the poor laws; that the truck system was one capable of being degenerated i❑to a means of extortion upon the labourer; that these and many similar views are fraught with truth fulness, we readily concede : but it requires much greater solidity and depth of argument than that advanced by the reviewer to satisfy us that the legal enactment of a minimum in wages would prove pernicious to the labouring man by approximating him to slavery; that the poor received but a trivial and precarious assistance from the ancient abbey-lands; that by a legislative inter ference the comfort and general improvement of the mass could never be ensured ; or that the decrease of the privations and miseries still experienced by the destitute can only occur in a very remote futurity. There is, however, one passage towards the conclu sion of this long and interesting inquiry, which we must record entire, embodying as it does a com parison of the two great advocates of different modes of affording something like regeneration to the labourer. " These two sets of opinions may, as it seems to us, be thus briefly characterised—the one as a short-sighted humanity, adverting only to the immediate wants of the actual poor, without considering the future lot of them selves and their class ; the other as a long-sighted huma nity, mindful of ultimate consequences to the poor in general. The former removes, or attempts, or appears to remove, the actual evil. The latter is less occupied with the actual evil, but seeks to prevent its recurrence, by drying up its source. The former charges the latter with hardness and inhumanity, on account of this com parative indifference to present suffering. The latter retorts the charge by saying, that it sacrifices the per manent interests of the working classes, and of society at large, for the sake of temporary and ineffectual ex pedients, which, in the end, augment the distresses which they partially relieve." This clashing of propositions on the subject of the poor-laws and pauperism is here defined with sin gular fidelity ; the contrast is not counterfeit, it is unhappily too faithful in its smallest details. Still, we are far from anticipating with the reviewer, that all notions about legislation for the working classes must " gradually cluster round these two centres :" a practical combination of present and future improve• ment is the only measure advisable—and that measure is no chimera. It is a matter of regret to all who wish to see the Royal Family stand well with the public, that there should be any grounds for a misunderstanding like that which exists between the PRINCE CONSORT and the parish authorities of New Windsor. We con sider that the exemptions from taxes and rates made in favour of the Crown are highly impolitic, and calcu lated to raise invidious distinctions, for which no amount of saving can compensate. The Civil List, as the public believe, amply provides for the wants of Royalty, but if that is insufficient, no one would grudge an additional grant in return for the abolition of a custom or law which has most injurious effects. As regards poor-rates, this exemption is exceedingly obnoxious, and some of our late Sovereigns, aware of the fact, have waived their rights, and paid the rates. It appears that GEORGE 111. re gularly contributed his share for Flemish Farm. They were paid, also, during the reign of GEORGE IV., and the present dispute, therefore, tells with the worse effect on the present occupant. We do not, however, blams the Prince, for, according to certain statements, he is willing to pay the amount required, and simply protests against the demand as a matter of right. He cannot well act other wise in opposition to the decided opinions given by the law officers of the Crown, and confirmed by that of Sir THOMAS WILDE. We believe the same course was adopted by the QUEEN-DOWAGER with respect to the occupation of Marlborough House, her MAJESTY consenting to pay the rates to the parish, but under protest in favour of the Crown. Looking at the opinions of such eminent counsel as Sir THOMAS WILDE and Sir FITZROY KELLY, few will doubt that Prince ALBERT acts in perfect accordance with the law, but still the impression made on the public by such an exemption is highly unfavourable ; and, to put an end to all similar disputes, the sooner such a bad custom is done away with the better. Let the property of the Crown be rated like that of private individuals, and the loss made good out of the Consolidated Fund. The QUEEN reigns for the good of all, and it is not fair that parishes adjoining the royal domains, which pay their share of the public burdens, should be liable to higher rates than others, simply because they hap pen to be located in the neighbourhood of royalty. We have received Madrid journals of the 2d. With the exception of a curious document put forth by Don HENRIQUE, son of Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA, the only brother of Don CARLOS, they contain no in telligence of interest. On that day the Senate brought the debate on the Address to a conclusion, when all the amendments were rejected and the ori ginal draft adopted. The letter or manifesto of Don HENRIQUE is addressed to the editors of the Opposi tion journals of Madrid, but what object he can have in publishing such a statement the Conservative jour nals cannot divine, and some of them doubt its authenticity. It is to the following effect : " Gentlemen,— When my name becomes an object of the indications of the press; when my person is publicly sig nalised as worthy of the highest honour that could arrive to me, I should fear to incur the stigma of being ungrateful, were I longer to keep silence as to the sentiments that ani mate me for the happiness, glory, and independence of the Spanish nation. " Educated in the school of misfortune, and in the midst of political revolts, if I have learnt anything with certainty from these events, it is that princes ought not to have a pre dilection for any party, still less adopt their interests and their resentments. Those who forget this maxim cause very grave injury to the nation and to themselves, compro mise the peace of the people, and expose themselves to lose their prestige and dignity. Obedient to this conviction, which is deeply impressed on my mind, I have bitterly lamented the ravages of our discords, shedding sincere tears over the tragical end of so many brave Spaniards, who had become celebrated by their services to the constitutional Throne ; because the only ones whom I have learnt to re gard as enemies are those fanatics who, after having de fended the cause of the usurpation and of despotism in the fields of Navarre, do not banish their hatreds, nor abandon their fratricide designs. "The sacrifices which the Spanish people have lavished to save the cause of Isabel 11., and of the institutions, assure it against the attempts of obscurantism and the intrigues of those who seek to parody the reign of Charles 11. Neither the advances of the age, nor the great principles recognised by all enlightened people, nor the dignity of this magna nanimous nation, permit any kind of retrogression in the career of our regeneration. " Whatever may be the election of my august cousin, I shall be the first to respect it, persuaded that the prince who may merit her preference will be completely identified with the great cause of Spanish liberty and independence which I have embraced with unbounded enthusiasm from my earliest years, from conviction, from sympathy, from the example of my family, and from which I shall be incapable of separating myself whilst life remains in me. " Destitute of ambition, I desire only the happiness of my country, and wherever Providence may destine me to serve it, I shall always preserve in my heart, as a precious remem brance, the marks of sympathy and esteem with which I have been favoured. (S ned) " HENRIQUE MARIA DE BOURBON. ",Madrid, Dec. 31, 1845." On the following day, Jan. 1, a banquet, as usual, on the first day of the new year, was given by the QUEEN, but the family of Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA were not present. The Three per Cents. closed at 351 for cash, and 35 13-16 at 60 days. The hioniteur publishes a telegraphic dispatch, which reached Algiers on the 30th ult., and had been transmitted from Milianah on the same day. It is a very mysterious production, but we learn from it, however, that Bou MizA is still in the land of the living, and that ADD-EL-KADER had again taken the French by surprise. The dispatch was sent by Ge neral DE BAR, commanding the division of Algiers ; and after mentioning that he had received no commu nication from Marshal BUGEAUD since the 20th of December, he says in a postscript:— " At the moment I was concluding this report, I received the following dispatch from Milianah "'THE GENERAL CONIMANDING THE SUBDIVISION TO LIEUTE- NANT-GENERAL DE BAR. " Dfiliarah, Dec. 30, 184.5. " Commandant Rivet writes to the Superior Commandant of Teniet-el-Had :—We, yesterday, the 23d, fought the ex- Emir in person with six or seven hundred regular cavalry. The regulars awaited us at twenty steps. Our cavalry be haved admirably. The ex-Emir had a horse killed under him. Bolt Maze was in the action with his cavalry.' " The Opposition journals treat this dispatch with very little respect. One asks, why the shot which killed the horse was not aimed at ABD-EL-KADER ; and the National expresses doubts whether any reli ance can be placed upon the report of an engagement having taken place between BUGEAUD and ABD-EL KADER, as the dispatch would infer. It adds— " When it was reported that the EMIR had re-entered the Tell, we placed no faith in that report, and we stated our reasons why a similar coup de tote appeared to us little worthy of credit. It appears, however, that our enemy found the thing no difficult task in presence of an enemy so very terrible as Marshal BUGEAUD. Little concerned at all at the military noise around him, the EMIR quietly marched into the Tell in the midst of the defiles of the Ouarensenis. There it was supposed that he could scarcely escape from our columns, which were in pursuit of him, and no thing remained but to make preparations to receive him. The telegraphic dispatch moreover announces the resurrection of Bou MAZA. 'We anxiously await the details of the affair, being well persuaded that the Governor-General will not delay to recount this new triumph in the pompous terms of which he has ever made such a strange abuse. We will, however, ob serve, en passant (supposing it turn out to be true), that for AIED-EL-KADER to have played such a foolish prank he must have had but a sorry opinion of the vigilance and activity of M. BUGEAUD." The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies have discussed most of the paragraphs of the Speech from the Throne. The Government had laid before them several documents relative to the affairs of the Texas, the Plata, the sanitory condition of Algeria, and the position of the Treasury. On Wednesday the Com mittee called for documents relative to the questions of Syria, Morocco, and Madagascar, and also as to the state of the public works. It adjourned until Thursday, in order to continue its labours, and deli berate respecting the, last ordonnance of the Minister of Public Instruction on the University. It is said that M. SAINT MARC-GIRARDIN will bring forward an amendment on this subject. The Committee had appointed M. VITET its reporter to draw up the Address. It is not supposed that the Address can be presented to the Chamber before .Monday. In the Chamber of Peers, the debate on the Ad dress h2d commenced, and was going on at the hour of post. The following is the Address, as drawn up and read from the tribune by Count PASCALIS " Sire,—The present session opens under fortunate aus pices. " France, calm and flourishing, reaps the fruit of that in defatigable activity so ingenious in fertilising the seeds of prosperity. The free exercise of all the rights guaranteed by our laws, insures the regular development of our insti tutions. " We congratulate ourselves with you, Sire, on the situa tion of our country. We attribute that blessing to the accord of the public powers, and to the maintenance of that policy of order and preservation which, tempering firmness by moderation, triumphs over the passions, reconciles the mind, secures tranquillity at home and general peace abroad —a policy at once salutary and glorious, which, after having acquired for your Majesty the gratitude of contemporaries, will ever honour the memory of your reign. " Sire, your Majesty continues to receive from all the fo reign Powers assurance of their pacific and friendly disposi tions. We are happy to think that nothing will disturb that security, which is a necessary condition of the progress of labour and of the welfare daily augmenting among all classes of the people. It behoves nations who do not dread war to profess openly their love of peace. " A convention, lately concluded between England and France, with a view to put a period to an odious traffic, re places our trade und'er the protection and exclusive surveil lance of our flag. We loudly applaud the success of a nego tiation ably conducted and promptly terminated. The exe cution of the treaty confided to the loyal co-operation of the navies of both States, is a guarantee that the rights and dignity of the two nations will be equally respected, and that an efficacious repression will in future punish every violation of the sacred rights of humanity. " sire, the friendship which unites your Majesty and the Queen of Great Britain favours the continuation of the ami cable and intimate relations of France and England. The harmony prevailing between two great nations whose mis sion it is to promote and maintain civilization in the world, is a precious advantage for them, and an invaluable blessing for mankind. We are anxious that mutual confidence should continue to exist between the two Governments, and that they should act in conjunction whenever circumstances require, at the same time that they will reserve to them saves an entire liberty of action in their respective political spheres. " The words of your Majesty induce a hope that the com bined action of England and France will obtain, on the banks of the Plate, the desired success. After so ruinous an inter ruption, it is urgent that our commercial relations with that important portion of the American continent be regularly re-established. If our just respect for the independence of nations prevents us from interfering in their domestic dissen sions, nobody can contest our right to minister to our inte rests, compromised by the war between two neighbouring states, by re-establishing peace in that quarter, which is the sole object of our endeavours. "France deplores with yoti. Sire, the events that disturbed our African possessions. We thank your Majesty for the promptitude of the measures adopted to remedy the evil. We fully confide in the heroism of our soldiers. Their bravery will everywhere assert the triumph of the arms of France and strengthen her dominion. Our energetic perse verance will maintain our power in Algeria; wisdom and foresight will consolidate it. " Sire, the great civil and military works voted by the Chambers are being everywhere executed. France has thus acquired an additional guarantee of security. A lively emu lation has manifested itself in the different parts of the king dom at the sight of so many works of public interest, which by facilitating the communications, will draw closer the ties of national unity. We will carefully examine the propositions submitted to us by the order of your Majesty to terminate those useful undertakings. By imparting to the works commenced the impulse which they need, the King's Go vernment, being the prudent appreciator of the general situa tion of affairs, will no doubt show itself prudent in fresh un dertakings. " We are happy to hear from the mouth of your Majesty that the situation of our finances is becoming daily more satisfactory. " We will receive, Sire, with gratitude the projects of law intended to introduce important ameliorations into the dif ferent branches of the administration. Ameliorations are the work of time. In examining the propositions which will be presented to us, we will consult the lessons of experience. France has a right to be proud of her administrative organisation. We will carefully attend to the preservation and improvement of that important portion of our public institutions. " Sire, in the accomplishment of that great and noble task imposed upon your Majesty by the wish of the nation, Pro vidence directed your steps. You may always rely on the loyal and faithful co-operation of the Chamber and country. Sire, your family belongs to France. Your sons prove it daily by their devotedness and their zeal to serve her. Your grandsons are the hope of future generations. The holy laws of the country have sealed the intimate union of your descendants and ours." The Journal du Cher states that, on the occasion of the new year all the authorities of Bourges proceeded in a body to pay their respects to the Count de Montemolin, the eldest son of Don Carlos, and now the pretender to the drown of Spain. The following appears in Galignani :—"Prince Polignac, attacked by the Republican Journals and by the Gazate de France, has published an answer, which has created a great sensation among the aristocracy. The Prince, from the posi tion he occupied in relation to Charles X., and from his having been Ambassador to the Court of England, and afterwards Prime Minister of France, became depositary of many secrets. He Las it, consequently, in his power to give explanations on many obscure points, and holds a key to the conduct of many distinguished persons. To the interest excited by the great events over which he presided must be attributed the success of his last publication , anti tied 'Reponse a mes Ad ver saires,' being a sequel to his ' Etudes Historiques, Politiques, et Morales.' This work is written with vigour and, great elevation of style. Whatever may be the opinions formed of the line of conduct followed by Prince Polignac in 1830, there must still remain a high esteem for his public character. The Prince, who lived long in England, and formed illustrious alliances in that country, has also in it numerous friends. lie now lives in retirement in the environs of Paris, and devotes the intervals of ease left him by his weakened health,:in recalling his recollec tions, and composing a - work on the policy of the different states of Europe."

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was 6,000 bales —2,000 on speculation, and 4,000 to the trade.—The Share Market was firm, with a fair amount of business doing. The country markets for manufactured goods are all very dull, according to the accounts that have come to hand to day. There are not any late arrivals in the City this morning from the British colonies, or elsewhere, of importance. A r-eaction has taken place in the value of Consols this morning, both for Money arid Account ; in the :former from 95 1 4 to 94%, sellers, and in the latter from 95% to 94%. Very few sales have been made. The Three per Cents. Re duced have gone back from 95% to 95%, and Exchequer bills from 325. to 28s. premium. The I,OOW. India Bonds are at 365. to 40s. premium. The Foreign Funds remain very much the same as yester day.

A bulky, weighty folio has now issued from the Parliamentary printing-press, with the names of all subscribers to railway companies, which went to Par liament last year, for amounts under 2,0001. We had the names for amounts above 2,0001. before. It would seem to be afitror Scoticus, this passion for hunting up railway subscribers. The first Parliamentary return the public owed to the motion of Mr. Ginsox CRAIG, the Member for Edinburgh; but it was a trifle to the 440 folio pages of names which have now come forth with the im primatur of Mr. HASTIE, Member for Paisley. It would puzzle, we suspect, all Mr. HASTIE'S Scotch shrewdness to tell us the use of this bulky blue book. We should like to know its cost. These blue books are not printed for nothing. Having no reason to expect the appearance of this last bulky contribution to railway shareholder nomen clature, and referring only to Mr. GIBSON CRAIG'S comparatively diminutive publication, which has been out some time, we have lately expressed a strong opinion that this parading of the names of subscribers to railway companies is not only not productive of benefit, but is productive of absolute mischief ; and to that opinion we adhere. It does not check the dis reputable railway speculator—he cares not for publicity—and, by driving away the timid, the sensi tive, the scrupulous, it gives greater scope to the men of no character. We have had the railway mania at its height since the appearance of Mr. Ginsox CRAIG'S Parliamentary document. No one can say that that has checked railway speculation. It has probably turned it into new channels, and in doing so dete riorated its character. The banker, the merchant, the tradesman, the professional man, the private gentle man—all of whom may either fear that their credit might be unjustly affected with the reputation of railway speculation, or who would dislike the publicity given to pecuniary investments, which it is part of our national character to manage secretly— will henceforward abstain from taking shares in new eompanies, or will get other persons to sign the deeds for them. Is either of these results desirable ? Is it desirable to frighten away respectable parties from railway companies, and so discourage and deteriorate the speculation to which we owe all the rail roads that we have, and to which we must look for further development of railway communi cation ? Is it desirable, again, to keep up the form of Parliamentary subscription contracts, and drive people into evading them ? You can never prevent these evasions. It is well known that the largest railway speculators apply for shares through a number of dependents, and get these to sign the deeds for them, and never appear themselves. Mr- HASTIE'S return does not tell this. The natural effect of the return will be, to increase this practice. That will be one effect. Another effect will be to discourage respectable parties from connecting them selves with railway enterprise. And even supposing that such a return as this gave you all the names of the real first subscribers (which it does not), how little have you advanced even then in the crusade against railway speculation ! You do not, and cannot, get to the buyers on the Exchange. It is, at best, but a fractional part of railway specula tion that Mr. HAFris's return can expose, his object being supposed to be to expose railway speculation. A more useless, even if it were not in some respects mischievous, expenditure of public money than this blue book of 440 pages, and 3ilbs. weight (so the outside tells us), will, we believe, not be found in Hansardry. We wish, as much as Mr. HASTIE or any one can wish, to regulate railway speculation, but not to ex tinguish it. We think that it has gone during the last year to an unreasonable and mischievous excess; but we would seek to reduce it by means which would drive away the bad class of speculators, and keep the good,—not to hold out scarecrows of Par liamentary returns to men of respectability, which can have no effect upon the characterless and shame less. There are two measures which we think would be particularly well adapted to check and, in checking, improve the character of railway specu lation. One is to increase the per tentage re quired for Parliamentary deposit. It was in creased last session by both Houses from 5 per cent. on the shares to 10 per cent. ; but . this increase was hardly sufficient to be felt, particularly while the mania was on. If we remember right, 20 per cent. had been proposed, and 10 per cent. was taken as a compromise. Let Parliament require 20 per cent. on the shares, to be paid up in the first instance and de posited, and the larger deposit will infallibly check speculation, both in applications for shares and in purchases in the market. The other measure which we would suggest is, the requirement of a certain deposit on registration. If the solicitors and schemers, who have concocted all the bubbles of the last autumn, had been required to find a certain sum of money—say, the Parliamentary deposit on a fourth of the shares—before they could attain to the first step of provisional registration, they might have whistled for the provisional committee men, under cover of whose names they have been plundering simple, unsuspecting shareholders. We should then have had none of those lists of long bills for solicitors, whose professional positions had not enabled them to secure the services of engineers fit for their work, and who have stranded these companies ; of surveyors' bills, sta tioners' bills, advertising agents' bills, with charges such as were never seen before, swelled by high per centages to the solicitors who had given them the job. There would have been no room for the de grading exposures which in the last few weeks have been frequent, and of which there are yet more to Mlle. Our remarks on solicitors will not be sup posed to apply to the many respectable and esta blished members of the profession connected with legitimate railway undertakings.

This was an action on the case to IN recover damage s for All 0 1, infringement of a p a t en t, t o w hi c h t h e defendant hat' that Th he was not guilty. et _t e Solicitor-General, Mr. Marti n , an d M r . we' t k peared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Jervis. Mr. Peag °e "' o Mr. Pollock for the defendant. 10, The plaintiff was the secretary of a company / 4 ,iisir, purchased a patent, granted to Mr. Smith, for disco s if el ll l ,l new and original mode of applying the principle of ° I ", known Archimedean screw to the propulsion of stet,. P o other ships, and it was to recover damages ( violation of this toatent that the present act' °- t)„` brought. Mr. Smith was the first to discoY er ft the Archimedean screw could be made available as peller placed in the dead wood of a ship, and the (1 ' 5 , - 3 eel has long been considered of great value and importastoit so far as it possessed greater advantages than the 9 ,„Y, 11 1 „ 0 ` ) propulsion by paddle-wheels. For instance, it g 3 ' o rti room for stowage, obviated the-necessity of havifig ; ,L i of the paddles above the surface of the water, fiT I , 11, 00 e r o w, respects rendered a steam-vessel more adapted to poses of war and commerce. The defendant, who Vi 9 1, 5 d if t° ,l gineer at Woolwich, has applied the principle of the several of her Majesty's vessels in the same manner ' t o P, specified in Smith's patent, and plaintif now sought o prl cover damages for the injury he had sustained by this f priation of the invention.t b For the defence, it was urged that the inventioil:ecooll screw itself being of great antiquity, it had long 4° l ' o ti the common property of the world, and had been 1 1400 to time applied as a motive power for the pro0 1 , ; ;1 1 01 6 ; , , vessels, raising of water out of wells, and the accomP,", gre' ' of other objects. It was contended, moreover, that a` iii `),ll fication of Mr. Smith's invention was vague and in ho ut and on] many occasions had been deviated from Wit" being'properly amended. The case occupied the Court the whole of yesterdk to-day, and had not concluded when our report left.
