The Pa4ri states that no change will be made in the regulation regarding the newsvendors, who will be peextittteil t carry on the trade in newspapers as hitherto. ' - The Presse says— It is announced that MM. Berryer, Vatimesail, G. Barrot, Dufaure, and Paillet, have just drawn up me morial relative to the decrees against the property of the Orleans family." The Patric says it is not true that M. DS SALYAN D y has quitted Paris. LAFON, ex-representative, who was confined at the. Conciergerie, has been set at liberty, but be is to quit the French territory. , The- Constitutionnel dwells at length on the revenue returns for the month* January, ehow ire; two millions inerea§e over the . corresponding mouth of last year, for sake of showing how trade bad revived. .It must be observed, however, that imniediately afLer the coop debut of the 2d Doe. there did take place a great spring in business, and the early part of J,lnuary was verb' animated. It is never theless acknowledged that business has since the coin• tilencement or the present month, or rather before, much f lint : a off- LP' . Debuts is very much alarmed at the great influx of gold into Prance, the gold coinage which f or 1 84.; had only been 119,000 francs amounted last year to 270 'pillions. The Government, it gap, must repeal the law by which silver is made to represent 15 1 - times greater value, or it will disap pear from the circulation, while the influx of gold continuing at the same rate, must double in time the prices of necessaries. The monetary circulation of France is two milliards 500 millions. The Presse spiritedly reproves the Unifiers for its odious abuse. of men who cannot reply, the parti-pritre journet dealing by wholesale in such names as liars, scoun drels, robbers, and, as for our part, say s thi s paper-- " We, who are neither absent or mute, we h ope that the new law will leave us enough of liberty to hold Uzi a to scorn and indignation the petty which, ha v i ng ruine two dynasties, affects to support the present Govern ment in a way which must lead the latter to make gr a y. reflections." The Ilfeniteur publishes a decree of the PitEsinzzer of the Republic ratifying a convention concluded on Thursday between the Minister of Public Works and the Directors of the Northern Railway Company, by which the company engages to construct at its ex pense four lines of railway. As a compensation for those additional works, the duration of the concession of the railway from Paris to the Belgian frontier, with a branch to Calais and Dunkirk, and the concession of the Creil and St. Quentin and Amiens and Boulogne Railways, are to be extended to 99 years from the 10th of September, 1848.

It will promote, for Mining pursuits, a perfect organization of independent emigrants, who, being generally unacquainted with such occupations, will derive, from an efficient direction, having at com mand all requisite machinery and supplies, benefits not otherwise attainable. 2. It will facilitate the emigration of persons associated with this Company for Mining purposes, more especially by procuring, at the earliest available moment, the grand desideratum of cheap steam conveyance; and the arrannements of this Company preclude all risk of loss in respect of any abandonment of engagements on the part of the emigrants. 3 The Company is free to select its ground of operations wherever • me direction of labour may lead to the most beneficial results. 4. The Peculiar Inducements to Emigrants in joining this under taking, will be the large.remuneration td the working' parties (that being fixed at not less than 75 per cent. of the net produce of their labour), and the mutual security, protection, and economy of the systematic co-operation contemplated by the project. To Shareholders, besides thr large anticpated returns on their capital, the special and acknowledged advantages of the Cost-book are also secured, viz.:— Exemption from the Joint-Stock Companies' Registration Act, and from the ordinary law of partnership. Direct and constant control, at the bi-monthly meetings, over the Company's affairs. No personal responsibility of Shareholders for any act but their own. 6. An apprication will be made for a Royal Charter to extend the powers of the Association on its being constituted ; and the great paonc utility of the design, leaves no doubt that the favour of the Government will be evinced by the Incorporation of the Company. The Prospectus may be obtlined at the offices; and applications for shares in he subjoined foA, with a respectable reference, to be addressed to the Committee. (By order) W. F. G.

FEBRUARY 21, 1852. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Another steam-frigate, the finest and most powerful in the world, the Arrogant, 46, Captain Robinson, ex pected at Lisbon from the West Indies, is also ordered to follow Commodore Martin to Cork, and such of tho squadron as require refitting are to come to a dockyard port : - _ - The Superb, 80, Captain Purcell, is also ordered from the Mediterranean to Portsmouth, not to increase the Channel force, Nit to be paid off. Commander W. S. Pullen (1850), who encountered ail the hardships and privations of the North American beat, expedition—privations which no other Arctic officer suffered, and who was passed over in the late promo tions, has been appointed to commission the North Star, to form one of the new Aretic searebine• squadron. Thu North Star will be stationed at Beecheyisland as a depot and ree - clEzvoits. Sir Edward Belcher's two sailing-ships and two screw tenders will have 182 officers and men, 61 each in the Assistance and Resolute, and 30 each in the tenders: They have now about 90 on their books, including marine's. The Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, is expected back from leave, at Portsmouth, on Tuesday next. We understand that Admiral H. Prescott delivered the prizes yesterday to the Upper School of Apprentices in Portsmouth Dockyard, to the following scholars:— Pond, Warder, Kerby, 011 is, Harris, Jessop, and Hay. The prizes consist of valuable mathematical instruments and works on ship-building, &c. DE VONPORT DOCKYARD.—A joiner, named Hooper, in carrying a plank to the Sans Pareil, filling alongside the jetty in the dockyard, was blown down by a gust of wind taking the timber, and,., falling on his head on the ' stones, was so severely injured by the fall as to be obliged to be taken to the hospital, where he expired a few hours after the accident. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The Arethusa, 50, Captain Symonds, arrived at Spithead this morning, from Ply mouth. She saluted the flag of Admiral Prescott, off the Nab, at 8.30, A.M.; but the wind being from the northward, her guns were not heard, and the Victory did not return it till eleven o'clock. The Arethusa has come up to Portsmouth to be docked. She requires caulking, and the knee of the head is supposed to be de fective. A lighter has gone out to receive her shells, and in the afternoon she will discharge her powder ready for coming into harbour te-Morrow morning. The Blenheim, 60 (screw), Captain W. H. Henderson C. 8., was docked to-day to have her bottom and under water steam pipes examined. Captain H. D. Chad', C. 8., of the Excellent and the Royal Naval College, gave a brilliant reunion in the latter establishment last night to all the dignitaries of the port and garrison and a large circle of fashionables to the number of upwards of 200.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. HERALD.—Whatever the House of Co mmoas may say to the c ontra r y—the transactions b etween, the Go vernment and Mr. Birch are of a nature to w ea k en the au l thority o f th e E xecu ti v e, and to re fl ect greet di-.credit on the administration of public affair s : The speech of 'Lord Naas on Thursday, in op en i ng his ease to the House of 'Ceettnens, was temperate, able, and lucid. A crowded assembly listened to tee itatrmnet of the • Noble Lord with the dc:cpe:.t. tentien; and the effect produced by his iminape.sioneddelim at;on of sirep , e am-1 ittemewerablefects, was such that the Premix r felt hi m - self called npon immediate!„ to respond to the Calf appeal of the Noble Member for . KiLlare, in the, old strain of Whirmery wh en i n offi el. The m a tter was male per sone% and h ee l it s end, so far as the votes of th 4 House of Common s , so li c i te d by the First Minister of the Crown, could terminate the aff a i r . Th e o pi n i on o f th e, nation has yet, horrever, el b e ea ten upon the adminis tration in I re l and of Lord Clarendon. The culpability of Mr.'Birch appears to us to have been amply abet . ed or partaken -of by his more diitingtaished collubwitteurs. TIME!§. —We regret to say that the display:of vir tuous indignatien- on Thursday was 'not' on giallo so magnificent a stale rur the public had been given to ex pect. Instead of three hundred political Mawworms, who, with well starched cravats and straight combed hair, were to testify against Lord Clarendon's enor mities. Only 137 felt inwardly moved to vote, and were accordingly beaten nearly two to one. What was wanting in numbers, indeed, was made up by the perfect discipline of this immaculate phalanx. They had rubbed up their consciences,' pipeclayed their purity, and polished their rebukes, with all the zeal of the newest holyday - troops, and a Strieger might have supposed that in I re l an d a t l eas t patriotism is some thing more than the re c ipro ca l o f p romot i on and place. Nothing could exceed the conscientious pains taken to separate the question of Lord Clarendon's guilt from the vulgar trifles with which it had been confounded. One and all, the company of preachers entreated us to put aside the consideration of his Excellency's motives, of his success, of the extraordi nary circumstances of the crisis, of the ordinary standard of administrations, and every; other consideration, and to answer this question, and this only—Was it right to pay Birch for supporting law and order ? That, with some slight variety of expression, was the wind-up of half a dozen speeches, in which mediocrity of talent and community of purpose had naturally produced very similar results. Is it right to subsidize the press? Is it right to bribe the press? Ought Government to suborn public writers? Should the public money be given to hire ling authors? It availed not that Lord J. Russell had ad mitted the impropriety of such a proceeding, and parti cularly the error of coming to a compromise with such a fellow as Birch, for the rejoinder was, " Oh! then you ought to vote for our resolution." In the case of two .of these high-minded men—Lord Naas and Lord C. Ha milton—their public spirit is enhanced by the circum stance that it is exhibited at the sacrifice of the warmest regard and the highest admiration for Lord Claren don. They know him and love him —they recog nize his great services and success—they can make allowances for the difficulties of his position—they can do all that friendship or common sense require, but nevertheless they wish to see him stigmatised as a mis appropriator of' the public funds, and the suborner of a disreputable journal. Lord Naas has made a still larger sacrifice, of his personal feeling. An im perious sense of duty—for it could have been nothing less—has compelled him to describe Lord Clarendon in the witness-box, and to record that he is the first Viceroy that ever condescended to that ignominious po sition. With his Lordship's " deepest regard for the great personal qualities, the talents, and private worth " of Lord Clarendon, what a pang it must have cost to add this necessary aggravation of the indictment! It is, however, a comfort to think that the private distress of the noble prosecutor and his colleagues, and the generous sympathy they could not help betraying for the unfortunate Viceroy, may possibly have had their weight in the House. Perhaps it was to spare the private feelings of the accusers that the House at once acquitted the accused. We are not going to claim the result as a victory either for the Government or for Lord Clarendon, or for the cause of corruption, or anything else that may have been assailed, because the result is simply to leave things very much as they were. Unquestionably Lord Clarendon ought not to have had any dealings with such a man as Birch. Unquestionably it is far better that a man in Lord Clarendon's high position should not have a newspaper in pay on any terms or in any form. Unquestionably, too, as Lord Clarendon himself found, on consulting his colleagues, this was not a proper employment of public funds, even of those which are expressly assigned for secret purposes. We say this, because in such a country as ours it is an almost oonetitutional necessity that the press should be perfectly pure, and should look to the public, not to the Government. We all profess to be organs of public opinion, and if we enter into any binding relation with the Government, we become traitors to the public, who believe us to be en tirely theirs. This is thoroughly understood and uni versally admitted in this country. So far, we have no alternative but to condemn Lord Clarendon's dealings with Birch. But we really think there is no occasion to protest against them with the outrageous virtue of his present accusers. We cannot connive at them, but that is all that is required of us. No rational person believes the press of this metropolis to be in anybody's pay, so there is no reason to take occasion of Lord Cla rendon's mistakes to trumpet our own purity. On the contrary, we can afford to take a generous and con siderate view of the matter. We can remember that an Irish r e b e lli on, after all, is no ordinary or easy crisis, and that th e man who had, singlehanded, to suppress that rebellion, an d pacify eight million poor misguided simpletons, as well 1113 he could, m a y b e excuse d if, i n the general confusion, treachery, and desertion, ho ac cidentally stumbled on a b ad tool and burnt his own fingers. The i n t erests of political purity have been suf ficiently vindicat e d i n the frightful amount of pillage and other annoyance Lord Clarendon has already suffered. THE WRECK OF THE AMAZON. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY NIGHT. —It is believed the news received here last evening from Dorchester, rela tive to the safety of two more of the crew of the Amazon will turn out to be the artful manoeuvre of two im postors. who have adopted this ruse t o i mpose upon t h e charitable. A telegraphic message was forwarded to Dorchester early to-day, requesting the men might be sent to Southampton immediately; but on inquiry at the house where they had been staying, they could not be found, nor had they been heard . of since the morning. The story was not cr e dit e d hero from the first, and there is little doubt that it will turn out as before stated. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen held a Court yesterday afternoon, at Buckingham Palace.
