JUNE 'lo, 1852. Several of our morning contemporaries haVe re teived intelligence that their correspondents at Paris have been thaeateced with expulsion from the French territorie., unless they henceforth refrain front per directed against the head of the Stet s,. and systematic :attacks 'non the character of his gt wen 117'nt-ce S ummoned respecti ve ly t o th e Mi n i 's try of P 0 1 ,,., the gentltmen referred to received this some wh.at remtrkr.ble intioaation from the lips of M Lartmie, DUZIOULIN, recently on o of the writers in the Biletin de Paris, a lithogrnpLic organ of the Jirlystle, and now Director of the Press lit that 'department of the Adna inisiration. It we s an res nounced by this cfbcial to the various cor pondents of the London newspa - peru, who were thus warned, that they would be held resp, sible'fbr whatever violent rema r k s against the pert ion of ,the PRINCE PRESIDENT might appear hereafter in the leading articles of their respective journals, as well as in their own communications. In acting Cm/ 3 the Chief of the French Republic is adopting a m c o which w e b elieve in our hearts to be not merel • Politic, but absolutely unjust . H e is advent y it a gin upon even a more perilous line of conduct than that pursued by the EMPEROR shortly after his elevation to the throne, when he brought au action in an Eng lish court of law' against a journal published in this metropolis, in consequence of that journal containing against himself individually, and indeed against every member of the imperial family, male and female, libels of the most scurrilous description. Although the literary calumniator in that instance had the ad vantage of being defended by all the forensic skill and eloquence of Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH, the ver dict was given, it is true, in favour of the plaintiff, with heavy damages—but in the course of the trial the name of the illustrious hero who was the com plainant was dragged through the mire of ridicule the most indecent, of aspersion the most shameless, and of vituperation the most unjustifiable, to the disgrace of England and the indignation of France. Against the attac k s of foreign writers it was shown, I sufficiently well in that instance, that it is worse than idle to " protest" even according to an established system, or through a channel the most legitimate. When, however, as upon the present occasion, it is intended to prevent the repetition of personalities, or of misrepresentation —not by adopting the mea sures of defence authorized by the institutions of our country and sanctioned by the National Code of Great Britain but by proceedings so unusual and so erroneous as ties; already specified, the potentate assailed places himself in a position yet more open to the continuance of animadversion. The very principle asserted by this extraordinary announcement on the part of the Director of the Press at the Ministry of Police we take to be gla ringly and unjustifiably fallacious. According to no recognised system could it be regarded for one in stant as just, to render the Paris correspondents of the London newspapers responsible for the opinions expressed by our morning contemporaries. Beyond which, we are perfectly well satisfied, that by this proceeding, if ultimately carried into effect, no possible advantage would be gained in the desired direction. The important organs thus visited with the official vengeance of the French Government would by no means be disposed for that reason to regard the policy of the PRINCE PRESIDENT and his Govern ment any the less censoriously than they have done hitherto. In regard to principle, therefore, we take this threat against the " Correspondents " to be unjust, while, in reference to its probable conse quence, we consider it to be most egregiously mistaken. Against the tone adopted by so many of our contemporaries when commenting upon the Prince Louis NAPOLEON and upon his go vernment, we ourselves have all along, and from the very outset, sternly protested. If ever a great potentate received provocation, in the way of abuse and misrepresentation, the PRESIDENT of the French Republic has done so every day more or less since his memorable coup d'etat of the 2d of December. He has been charged with massacring the people upon the boulevards, and of cementing the stones of the new political edifice with the blood of an atrocious massacre. When the fact is notorious that there perhaps never was, in the history of the world, a transformation so enormous in its consequences so peculiarly merciful in the manner of its development. Were it otherwise, we should not see it announced as it is announced repeatedly from time to time, that the author of the coup debit, the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic, is in the habit of driving a little open phaeton along the crowded avenue of the Champs Elyseas, and sometimes even of walking through the streets of the French capital attended only by an orderly officer. If he were the monster we have been told he is, we should never have Been these tempting opportunities lost upon the multitude described as groaning under the pressure of his san guinary and lawless despotism. Instead of being assassinated, however, Louis NAPOLEON is greeted everywhere with respect, and occasionally even with enthusiasm. And this, moreover, not simply when surrounded by all the pomp and circumstance of his august position, when riding down the Champ de Mars, attended by a brilliant staff of general officers, or when going in state to the opera, escorted by a crowd of cuirassiers, but, as we have already remarked, when almost alone and on foot, in streets thronged with a motley assemblage of Parisians . The reason for all this we take to be sufficiently ob vious, even to the least capable of reflection. The people recognise in him the elect of nearly eight millions of free citizens. They remember that the basis of his nomination as head of the Republic was comprehen sive enough in its character, being extended over the broad and fundamental principle of the rights of nations—that of Universal Suffrage. They remem ber that universal suffrage was exercised, more over, in that instance with the most unrestrained liberty of opinion, basing been employed through the medium of the impenetrable secrecy of the Ballot—a medium altogether beyond the reach of bribery and above the influence of intimida tion. Yet with these incontestable facts before the world, the Prince Louis NAPOLEON has been vilified as an usurper, and vituperated as a monster of atro city, not the least virulently, be it said, by some amongst the number of oar contemporaries. Language more unmeasured in abuse was never before perhaps directed against any foreign potentate, with the single exception of the Emperor NAPOLEON. Remember ing all this, and remembering also the peculiarly per sonal,' character of these attacks, it must be con fessed, in the name of common sense and of common justice, that the PRINCE PRESIDENT has suffered during the last six months the most grievous and the most intolerable provocation. But, however great that provocation, we maintain that in acting as he now threatens to act towards the correspondents of some of our morning contemporaries, he will be acting, in this matter, with the most ridiculous im policy—and what is worthy of more particular notice —with the most flagrant injustice. He has preserved peace in his foreign relations. He has re-established order at home. He has re vived confidence by the rigour and activity of his energetic government. He has restored the labours of agriculture in the provinces, and renewed the operations of trade in the metropolis. He has called once more into existence the commercial enter prise which had previously languished, and in some places altogether disappeared. At the moment, when justifying the approval of a sagacious Minister like Lord PALMERSTON—an approval which that liberal and enlightened statesman enforced by allowing its main tenanca to lead to his expulsion from the late Govern ment—it were painful to see carried into effect the fri volous and unjustifiable threat enunciated through the courteous medium of M. LATOUR DUMOULIN against the correspondents of a small division of the great body of English Journalism. Reflection must assure the better judgment of the Councils of the %see that the course thus marked out is—as we have already observed—unjust as well as impolitic : and on be com i ng aware o f i ts i mpol i cy and sensible °f its injusti c e, L OUIS N APOLEON must refra i n, we feel satigficd, from carrying his threat into execution. . P EARnus O'Cormou is at length in safe keep ,ng. Notwithstanding impose a laudable reluctance to p e rsonal restraints on, or act harshly to wards: any re presentative of the people, it was last night deemed essential to' the dignity of the House to order the unfortunate ['gentleman into the custody , of the Sergeant -at-Arms, and thus to bring to a con clusiontimirreitating line of conduct the vexatious and • . . . adopted. No person rne pa w t as ien h c a e st a i n ly d o f r or u be n a n r e a c n e c s e sar t i o ly . which be had for so cou ld say that this s t ep ___ . considerable period taken. Tile House had fora t e r greatest ic it ies a n d responsible agent, would exhibited wards e annoyances which, if the have perpetrator merited c cet eccentricities had se v e been r e e e n a s u r e and 1 t. s rmgent punish ment. During the entire session m t .. O'Corviou has acted in such a manner as to attract th e attent i on of his broth e r representatives. Many gentleme n were grossly insulted, so that but for gre a t f orbearance on their parts, a n d indulgence towards the Pal pa b le i n . amities of the Li ono urubic Member, sever a l personal collisions mu s t have t :ken place. Day iacer day he pursued the same practices, in such a manner that nothing but mental alienation could explain or ac count for. Nothing, 'however, was done. The inconvenience and annoyance, that sometim e s almost amounted to an interruption of pub. lie business, was borne with the greatest good temper, in the hope thit the attack would pass away and the sufferer be restored to a state of sanity. It was, however, speedily discovered that there was but little foundation for this hope. At an examina tion before one of the Masters in Chancery in refer ence to the National Land Scheme, Mr. O'Comion used such extraordiaary language, and acted in a manner so utterly inexcusable, as to prove that he was not the master of his own actions. Immediately afterwards he disturbed the audience at the Lyceum Theatre, and was brought up at Bow-street to answer the charge. It is to be regretted that the Magistrate before whom the case was heard did not see that adequate measures were adopted for the safety and protection of the prisoner. In place of pursuing that course, he summarily adjudicated on the question, and committed the a;' icted indivi dual, for seven days to the House of Correction. After his release the eccentricities apparently in creased. Scarcely a day elapsed that reports did not appear in the public journals in reference to his ex traordinary conduct. He then fled to America, as it was stated, to avoid the execution of a commission de lunatico inquirendo, which had been sued out against him. There was no change, however, at the other side of the Atlantic, and he speedily returned, having probably ascertained that adequate measures would be promptly resorted to by the authorities of New York to check such proceedings, and to guard against the consequences that might ensue from permitting a person mani festly suffering under mental incapacity to injure himself or others. The day after his return to Lon don he visited several of the Courts at Westminster, and again attracted public attention, interrupting the business, and conducting himself so strangely as to have subjected himself to a committal for contempt of court, had he not made his escape on each occasion when an officer was called for. On Tuesday he violently assaulted the Honourable Baronet the Mem ber for Marylebone, striking him a heavy blow in the side, and when called on for an explanation, weeping and sobbing, and referring in the most rambling and incoherent manner to the land scheme and other matters totally beside the question. He was, however, excused on making lan apology, but the following day he again struck two Hon. Gentlemen, one on the side and the other in the face. Under such circumstances, it was of course useless to demand further apologies. Nothing remained but to consign the unfortunate gentleman to safe custody, until measures could be taken for his permanent security. But is it in the hands of the Sergeant-at-Arms that he should be placed ? It was of course necessary as a temporAry expedient, but something more will be required. There he may procure the stimulants in which it is asserted that ha has for a considerable period habitually indulged, and the abuse of which must have increased his malady. The un fortunate gentleman requires the care of a physician rather than of a gaoler, of one who may administer the remedies suited to his disease, and make his confinement _ beneficial to...himself, as con ducing towards his ultimate cure. The case furnishes an additional illustration of the inadequacy of ~.our lunacy code, to which we have frequently directed the public attention. While any person may be taken into custody on the certificate of two so-called " skilful persons," hurried away from his friends, and subjected to the most severe treat ment, without any opportunity being afforded of testing the accuracy of that certificate, or a certainty that the matter be not kept a profound secret, and the party improperly deprived of his liberty, we find that there is no constituted authority to interfere, even in cases of public notoriety, for the protection of the afflicted individual, or of the community in general. We do not act on the principle that " pre vention is better than cure," but, on the contrary, permit matters to take their own course until some fearful catastrophe ensues. Then, indeed, when the life of an innocent individual has perhaps been sacri ficed, the law tardily steps in and subjects the irresponsible slayer of his fellow-man to perpetual incarceration. This is not right or just. We protest alike against the criminal negligence that allows an individual to be deprived of his liberty on insufficient evidence, without any appeal or examination by a public officer, or even any report of the case, where access can be obtained to it by friends of theindividual,who would be willing to test the accuracy of the assertion—and against that which allows persona clearly incapable of managing their own affairs from going about and injuring themselves seriously, until they bring them selves within the province of the law by some cri minal acts. In both cases protection is due to the parties and to the public. Now that, ualortan ately, the subject ha s b een so Pro minently brought under the legislative notice, we trust that some energetic m eas ures may be adopted to provide a suitable remedy f o r the admitted evil, and that either new officers may be appointed or additional duties imposed on the Commissioners of Lunacy, or other public officers, so as to impose in every instance the necessary checks and safeguards against either undue proceedings or improper negligence. In another part of our impression we give a report of the annual meeting of the Times' Life Assurance and Guarantee Company; although the report is a full one, we draw the attention of our readers to the circumstance from a desire which we have always expressed, to help forward those institutions which are calculated to benefit large classes of the commu nity. The leading feature of the Times' Com pany is " public guarantee," by which means per sons requiring security for the fidelity and honesty of their conduct to .their employers, or in public situations of trust, may, if df good character, readily obtain the same. The importance of such institu tions in a country essentially commercial as our own will not be questioned, and the custom of taking pri vate surety is gradually being dispensed with ; for if a person be requested to become security for a friend, of even a relation, he points to these institutions and says, there you may obtain what you require, and with the greatest possible independence, if your character is good--there it will ba converted into capital, and you can charge it with the re payment of any sum which may be perilled by your want of honesty. If the character is not an honest one their society is the gainer, though the individual may be refused the security. The Times' Company also makes the premiums or payments for the guarantee a sort of fund for the parties paying it, so that the persons 'guaranteed have a vital interest in their -own -honesty, inas much as, should they be dishonest, they forfeit the life assurance or share of profits to which they may be entitled. We strongly recommend this principle to the consideration of employers, and we are also happy to see from the prosperous condition of the Times' Company, that such a principle is taking root and being supported by the commercial world. HET: MAJESTY'S Visrr.—Regarding her Majesty's coming visit to Scotland, the Elgin Courant says :—"The impression still prevails that her Majesty will visit the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland at Dunrobin Castle this summer, landing perhaps at Lochinver, on the west coast, driving across the country to Dunrobin, and after the visit proceeding from the castle by sea to Aberdeen, and thence to Balmoral." • STRAWBERRIES. -- A basket of strawberries, grown in the open air, at East Linton, was exposed for sale on Monday in Edinburgh. They ripened five days earlier than last year. THE NEW BRIDGE AT WESTMINSTER.--Mr. Walker proposes that the new bridge shall be of granite, the most durable of all materials for the purpose; the spans of the arches (flat segments of a circle) to be the same as the pre sent arches, and that the bridge shall be as nearly as possible upon the site of the present one, with an addition southward for the proposed increase of width. As respects the purchase of property, the only buildings required to be taken down on the Westminster side, according to this plan, would be those on the south side of Bridge-street, all of which are required for the completion of the new Houses of Parliament, and are already condemned for removal. This would leave a width from the north side of Bridge-street to the proposed front of New Palace-yard of IUO feet, and the clear distance from the bridge, supposing it to be 70 feet wide, to the Speaker's house, would be 120 feet. Messrs. Cubitt and Co. have offered to build a temporary bridge in one year. MAILRIAGE IN HIGH LITE.—The lovely and accompli.,hed Miss Ada Gordon Cumming, eldest daughter or Sir Wm. G. G.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation. The market was firm and closed with a hardening tendency. The sales com prised 230 Pernam and Maranham at 61d. to 7id., 200 Egyptian at 61d. to 10d., and 1,000 Surat at 3/d. to 4id. per lb.—Railway Shares were firmer, The six weeks'average price of Wheat is 403. 93. per quarter. The shareholders of the London Indisputable Life Company held their meeting yesterday, and received a very favourable report from the directors. In this docu ment it is stated that at the former annual meeting 1,015 policies, representing 303,7791., had been issued, and in the course of the last twelve months there have been received 513 proposals for the assurance of 186,9071. 55., of which 428 have been accepted and completed, assur ing 127,8121. 195., aid yielding in annual premiums 4,7021 3s. 9d., being a considerable increase over the business of the previous year, and making the number of policies issued since the establishment of the company 1,443, assuring 431,5911. 193. After deducting the policies that have become claims, those that have ex pired, and those that have dropped, there remain 1,184 policies, yielding an annual income of 13,7961. 3s. ld. The balance-sheet to 31st December last, containing a statement and'ealnation of the assets and liabilities of the company, certified and audited in terms of the statute under which the company is incorporated, is presented to the meeting; from which it appears, that after pro viding for the payment of the sums assured, and out standing debts, including the whole preliminary expenses attending the formation of the company, there was at that period a balance of 28,504/. 10s. ld., which will be applicable to the redaction of premiums as provided by the deed of constitution. The claims of l ast year amounted only to 1,742/. 145., making the total amount of claims from the commencement of the cempany, 3,941/. 14s. The premiums received upon expired and lapsed polices, which no longer continue as obligations on the company, have amounted to 1,7031.14 d. In reference to the colonial wool auctions recently concluded, it is stated by Messrs. Jacomb that - se." The close competition in the sale of manufactured goods of all kinds, and especially in the Bradford market, has for some months made t he realisation of ade quate e profits upon those made from previous purchases a matter of extreme difficulty; and for this reason the Yorkshire consumers bought comparatively sparingly in the earlier sales. Some considerable purchases, as is surmised, on manufacturers and speculators' account, had, however, the effect of fully maintaining prices , and compelling d dealers, whose requiremen? is F- an i mmediate sup ply, to meet times rates. It sobe hoped that the firm aspect of our market may enable them . to realise advanced rates for goods, and prevent hanyitserious fluctuations in our succeeding sales. Although may be considered that the causes indicated above may have had some consi derable effect in producing the advanced rates, it must be evident to all parti es that the vastl y -in creased consump tion of colonial w ool in the past three years has, without doubt, at length overtaken the supply, and it is fair to infer that, if consumption be not checked by the ad vance, and colonial imports should y unfortunate 1 fall short, and German wools not come forward in increased s upply, present prices may be expected to hold. Not withstanding the accounts received from the colonies, p r ior to the shea rin g , which led us to fear the conditi on ' and staple of the wool would this year be inferior, b o und to state that we never saw the wools f r om we are e all t he ports showing better growth or better condition than has this year been the case with the earlier imports: t o WO much praise cannot be accorded to h and others for the great exertions they have made under the immense difficulties they have ha d to enc ounter. We trust that later shipments may ar rive in as good codition, and that the dvance realised, a nd the great amount of emigrati on o f a ll go i ng forward to the A ustra li an coloniesta classesa)? now encourage t he growers to increa se d exert i ons for the of wool, which staple is unqu es ti o nablythe ensuing clip o f Australis, as w e ll as t h e best supply ofthe e eal wealth ma nufacturing interests of the woollen districts.reat The German fairs are no w i n progress; that of Breslau com menced on the 3d i ns t. , and i t is an ti c ip ate d that the final result of that fair will show a very considerable ad vance upon last year's rates; but it must be recollected that at Breslau last year prices ranged 10 per cent. lower than at the succeeding largo fairs. Although German wools have of late years been imported in decreased quantity, and th e growth has also been considered to have declined, it is reasonable to believe, es has hitherto . proved the case, that advanced rates will increase the supply to England, notwithstanding the increasing re quirements of continental manufacturers, and that the ' comparatively high prices of colonial will induce many manufacturers to recur, to some extent, to supplies of German produce." The silver received here is shipped off almost as soon as it arrives; and all that was brought by the last West India mail steamer, the Orinoco, has been sold at an advance of id. per ounce. The Amsterdam market on the Bth instant was very favourable, and fresh purchases caused a rise in Dutch two-and- a-Half per Cents. to 611 11.16. Foreign Stocks likewise had an upward tendency, except Mexican which were rather lower. The English Stock Market has been very firm, but not quite so active.

The only re medy for this wa s to grant representative institutions to the colonies. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, when be was on the Estimates Committee a few years ago, concurred with him in that opinion. Upon the subject of the National Gallery ho was glad to know that the Government were anxious to. find a new site for that building, but .he would suggest to • them that Ken sington Palace could be so altered and designed as to make a most admirable printing gallery without putting the country to any addhional expense. The palace alne was beautifully situated, and h e was sat i s fi e d that - the plan ho was proposing would meet with the goners" approval of the people.- Seeing the greet interest which her Majesty and the Prince Albert took in the progress of art in this country, he Was equally convinced that he objection would be found to his suggestion in that quarter.—(Hear, hear.) The CHAINCELLO - li3Of the EXCHEQUER said, her Majesty's Government would .always be ready to give their beat attention to any well-matured scheme tor per paring a receptacle for the works of art which the country posetsses, and the increased treasures which were likely to result from the erection of such an edifice. —(Hear, hear.) Ho was rejoiced to find that this W 5 a question thit was exciting a considerable and growing interest in the public mind, while, independently of that, very recent circumstances, such as the legacy of the late Mr. Tamer, and other instances of libeielity, would alone force the subject upon the attention of the Go" vernrnent, even if the Government was not already dis posed to give it all the consideration and care that 3 deserved. The House would agree with him that i 6 was of critical importance that no mistake should he made in the matter this time.—(Clear, hear.) Ther e , was in the iliqeeaition of the country and the genet''"` opinion which prevailed in favour of this subject awl reason to encourage a hope that th e y might tat last ee' coinelish something that wculd be worthy of the nation. —(Hear, hear.) The Hoe. Gentleman, for i ns tance,' had referred . to the great interest whi c h th e q eeen and the Prince took in this subject, and he eon' fessed himself, that it was to the interest el taken in such a great quarter that he looke d for success in this question, tied if some of the resourceo and some of the taste and judgment that were called into, action last year by those remarkable events which 041 ; curred in reference t o th e E x hibi t i on of the Arts and Industry of all N a ti ons can only b e enlisted i n all! , cause ho should n u t d espa i r of success.—(Hear, beef . / Indeed, if they could enlist a moiety of that same taste, thatjudgment memorable , enrrgy, an word resourc and es which that were dis ul pla tiyed ill k, was matell brought to a glorious issue mainly through the la' s fluence and personal exertions of his R o y a l Highnes s Prince Albert, ho should feel that th e y h a d an a dditiome . means of success in carrying out this great undertaleipg; --(Bear, hear.)

The C 01 ,, r ; missioners abstained from ma ki ng t h e ggeil r which his Honourable Friend the Memb er f fl o Montrose had thrown out, because they could not so un'il there lied bean expre s sed a clear and unmistakable feeli ng on th e part o f the Crow n ' that it was willi ng to assen t to i t . —(H ear , hear.) the ~ Commissioners were,. therefore, unanimous in rec ou t mending a site that faced the Uxbridge-road, and whie h . stood on a tract of land that could be converted into e: ornamental garden, and made the receptacle for Ot t tues and ,such like works of .rt.—(Haar.) The next pis a ! which they proposed was that of adopting Kensiogtoh as the site, which was equally favourable, and he Wee glad to hear th at th e w h o l e su bk c t, t oge th e r with the report of. the Com m i ss i on , now occu pi e d the serious a" tention of the Government.—(Hear, hear,) The subject then dropped.
