The Presse says— " It is announced that MM. Berryer, Vatimesnil, Ot.; Barrot, Dufaure, and Peillet, have just drawn up a me morial relative to the decrees against the property of the Orleans family." The Patric says it is not true that M. DE SADVANDI has quitted Park M. LAFON, ex-representative, who was confined at the Conciergerie, has been set at liberty, but he is to quit the French territory. The Constitutionnel dwells at length on the revenue returns for the month of January, show ing two millions increase over the corresponding month of last year, for sake of showing bow trade had revived. It must be observed, however, that immediately after the coup d'etat of the 2d Dec. there did take place a great spring in business, and the early part of January was very animated. It is never- , theless acknowledged that business has since the com• mencetnent of the present month, or rather before, much fallen off. The Debats is very much alarmed at the great influx of gold into France, the gold coinage which for 1845 had only been 119,000 francs amounted last year to 270 millions. The Government, it says, must repeal the law by which silver is made to represent 154 times greater value, or it will disapT 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 Univers for its odious abuse of men who cannot reply, the parti pretre journal dealing by wholesale in such names as liars, scour. drels, robbers, and, as for our part, says this paper—. " *e, who aro neither absent or mute, we hope that the new law will leave us enough of liberty ,to hold up to scorn and indignation the party which, having ruined two dynasties, aticets to support the present Govern. ment in a way which mast lead the latter to make grave reflections."

This is the first defined plan for Mining in Australia, distinguished y the following recommendations : I. It will promote, for Mining pursuits, a perfect organization of independent emigrants, es ho, 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 persOni 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 toe direction of labour may lead to the most beneficial results. 4. The Peculiar Inducements to Emigrants in joining this un:ler., taking, will be the large remuneration to the working parties (that aixed at pokiess than 74 per cent, of the net produce of their labour), and the mattarlialatrity; pnittutiot, and -economy , - alba systematic co-operation contemplated by the project. ~. To Shareholders, besides the large anticpated returns on their capital, the special and acknowledged advantages of the Cost-book are also secured, 'Viz. : E xemption 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. G. An appdcation will be made for a Royal Charter to extend the powers of the Association on its being constituted ; and the great ,uonc utility of the design, leaves no doubt that the favour of the Government will be evinced by the Incorporation of the Company. The Prospectus mry be obtained at the offices; and applications for shares in ihe subjoined form, with a reppectable reference, to be addressed to the Committee. (By order) W. F. G.

Considerable activity was mani fested in both descriptions of our staple fabrics, though it did not quite equal that of Tuesday. A tolerably large business was transacted, proiucers being exceedingly firm, and many under engagements for several d ays. The business was rat h e r more general in its character than en Tuesday, when buyers were operating more particulally for India and China, in con sequence of the better accounts received from thence.

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 to-morrow morning. The Blenheim, 60 (screw), Captain W. H.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS. WAKEFIELD, FEB. 20.—We are fairly supplied with all grain to this day's market, the demand for wheat continues limited as of late noted, although the trade is slow no desire to press sales, and the few transactions that took place the concession of is per quarter had to be acceded to upon damp qualities, still with a return of frost there is rather more tone than on Tuesday. Fine descriptions "of barley met a retail sale at a decline of Is to 2s per, quarter, with little or nothing in the common qualities. Beans are held at a slight sdVance. Oats and shelling steady.

EXETER, FEB. 20.—Cattle Market—There were but few beasts driven in of any kind ; and but a small number of sheep. The prices were the same as quoted in our report of the fair. Prime wether sheep (small) fetched Sid per lb ; large ditto, sd; ewes were from 4kd to 4id per lb. Business was dull, and but few lots changed hands.

Corn Exchange— We cannot quote any Iteration in the price of wheat from last week. Best wheat is selling at 6s per bushel; inferior, 5s 6d and 5s 9d ; barley, from 3s 6d to 4s; and oats 2s 3d to 2s 6d per bushel. Fine flour is selling at.34s to 35s per sack. NEWBURY, FEB. 19.--Our supply of wheat to-day is only moderate, yet more than sufficient for the demand, which is extremely slack, and although a decline of Is per quarter was submitted to, yet some quantity remains unplaced. Barley, moderate supply; fine malting a ready sale at an abatement of Is per quarter; and other sorts in fair request at 2s per quarter decline. Beans, oats, and peas, short supply, and a slow sale at rather declining rates. LIVERPOOL, FEB. 20.—There has been little change in the price of any article of the trade since Tuesday. The Exchange to-day was slenderly attended, and th e business transacted small. Holders of wheat and flour insisted upon late rates, but buyers operated very cautiously. There were sellers of Western Canal sweet flour at 22s 6d, and buyers at 22s per barrel. No alteration in the value of oats, barley, beans, and peas. BRIST6L SUGAR-MARKET, FEB. 20.—Six hundred hogs heads West India have found buyers this week, chiefly for re fining purposes, at rather higher prices, and the market closes firmly. Of Mauritius about 6,500 mats are also reported, at steady rates. Refined is in extensive demand, and commands better prices. Rum is still dull.—Bristol Mercury. WREXHAM, FEB.

It had been announced that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge would have presided, if he had not been detained by important official duties at Dublin. After the usual loyal toasts had been drunk, his Excellency appe aled to the company to enlist their active co-operation on beha lf of the hospital, in a very able speech ; and after an impressive appeal to their charity and munificence, concluded with an honourable testimony to the skill, devotion, and disinterestedness of the medical officers attached to the hospital. In consequence of this appeal: donations to the amount of 1,400/. were subscribed in the course of the evening, while the addition to the an nual subscription-list amounted to 751.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. HERALD.—Whatever the House of Commons may say to the contrary—the transactions between the Go vernment and Mr. Birch are of a nature to weaken the authority of the Executive, and to reflect great discredit on the administration of public affairs. The spseeh of Lord Naas on Thursday, in opening his case to the'House of Commons, was temperate, able, and lucid. A crowded assembly listened to the statement of the Noble Lord with the deepest atteution; and the eff. ct produced by his unimpassioned delineation of simple and unanswerable facts, was such that the Premier felt him self called upon immediately to respond to the calm appeal of the Noble Member for Kildare, in the old strain of Whiggery when in office. The matter was made per sonal, and had its end, so far as the votes of the House of Commons, solicited by the First Minister of the Crowe, could terminate the affair. The opinion of the nation has yet, however, to be taken upon the adminis tration in Ireland of Lord Clarendon. The culpability of Mr. Birch appears to us to have been amply abetted or partaken of by his more distinguished collaborateurs. TIMES.—We regret to say that the display of vir tuous indignation on Thursday was not on quite so magnificent a scale as 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'a 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 stranger might have supposed that in Ireland at least patriotism is some thing more than the reciprocal of promotion 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 Cis 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 admirition 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 aro 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 fur 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 constitutional 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 rebellion, after all, is no ordinary or easy crisis, and that the man who had, singlehanded, to suppress that rebellion, and pacify eight million poor misguided simpletons, as well as he could, may be excused if, in the general confusion, treachery, and desertion, he ac cidentally stumbled on a bad tool and burnt his own fingers. The interests of political purity have been suf ficiently vindicated in 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 to impose upon the. charitable. A telegraphic message was forwarded to Dorchester early today, requesting the men might be sent to Southampton immediately; tut 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 credited here from the first, and there is little doubt that it will turn out as before stated. was IRELAND.
