JANUARY 3, 1846. For the last five years the meeting of the French Chambers has not excited so little interest, or so few apprehensions, as that which has just taken place, and it is gratifying to the friends of peace to find that the amicable relations between England and France formed the main feature in the KING'S Speech, in re ference to foreign affairs. For some time, indeed ever since the Syrian expedition was announced, the session opened with alarming symptoms. Neither the Chambers nor the French public were satisfied with the policy of MIENS and GUIZOT. The one was blamed for the vast excitement he had caused—for the determination evinced to take part with AlEnintsT Au, and oppose the allies, and for the very " mean and shuffling " manner in which he receded from his high-sounding pretensions. The policy of M. GUIZOT for a time was little more welcome to the nation in general, and was loudly blamed by all the organs of the Republican and Legitimatist parties. M. Tnizas had shamefully deceived them, and humbled France, and M. GUIZOT did nothing whatever to retrieve her honour, or efface the disgraceful policy of his predeces- sor. The bad temper caused by these national feelings had an unfavourable effect on every succeeding trans action between the two countries, as evinced by the angry discussions about the islands in the Pacific, the Pritchard affair, the right of search, and several others, which it is needless to enumerate. Fortu nately for both nations, these hostile symptoms have almost totally disappeared, and France in perhaps all respects is more intimately allied with England than with any other European State. None of the Great powers, in fact, have yet become fully recon ciled to the present dynasty; their Sovereigns keep at a distance from France, not one of them deigning to acknowledge cordially the new state of things, and the most powerful amongst them, from some unexplained grudge, or some stronger feeling, has for years refused to appoint an ambassador to the Court of Versailles. The conduct of England, whether under the ad ministration of the Tories or Whigs, has been totally different. The WELLINGTON Ministry at once con curred in the voice of the French nation, and ac knowledged LOUIS PHILIPPE ; and both the GREY and MELnouivisc Cabinet did everything in their power (with the exception, perhaps, of the attack on the Pacha of EGYPT) to keep on good terms with France. Since that event, Lord ABERDEEN and M. Gum; all must admit, have managed affairs with praiseworthy skill. They have softened down asperities, diminished national prejudices, and, for the good of every state in Europe, have maintained peace between the two most powerful and civilised States, and thereby guaranteed the peace of Christendom. It is no small compliment to these statesmen that this has been done without any com promise on either side tending in the slightest degree to tarnish national honour or independence ; and other nations, with the exception we fear of one, rejoice as much in the result as the two prin cipals. We confidently hope that the people of France will see the advantages thus gained for their country, and be only more impelled to cultivate the arts of peace so warmly cherished by the SOVE REIGN, and already so productive of the greatest bless ings, whether as regards the increase of imports and exports, the vast undertakings for the establishment of railways, and the modification of taxes. Already the Government has announced proposed changes with regard to the importation of iron and cotton ; the enor mous salt-tax will probably be greatly reduced, and a radical change made in the system of postage. One great load, however, must long be borne—the enor mous expense of maintaining an army.in Africa; but this great expense may turn out the greatest blessing, and compel the Chambers to revise the whole scheme, and put an end to a system, not only ruinous to France, but fatal to the honour of the French army, and disgrace ful to the people who submit to it. Some measures will be adopted this session for put ting an end to the horrible razzias, and mas sacres, and unheard-of cruelties practised by BUQBEITD, if we may judge from the remarks made in a brief speech of M. SPEY, given in another part of The Sun, and the reception it received from the Chambers. This is only what Europe has a right to expect from a nation which boasts, perhaps justly, of the great services it has rendered to civilisation. The Anti-Corn-law meeting recently held at Ilfra combe, a report of which we have given in another column, is a most remarkable one. It was an inde pendent meeting, fully and ably attended by the towns men of the place, without any external aid whatever. It was the spontaneous expression of the feelings of the inhabitants of the town of Ilfracombe against the corn-law —their emphatic protest against the "unjust, unrighteous, iniquitous tax upon food." This pro test is the more important, coming, as it does, from a town which is the seaport of a district ex clusively agricultural. There are no manufacturers residing in the neighbourhood of Ilfracombe to stimulate the townsmen to meet and declare in favour of free trade. There were no practised de baters present, the prestige of whose names might per chance have frighted the protectionists from their pro priety—the speakers were all townsmen with whom their fellow-townsmen were in habits of intercourse, and yet in a town, the capital of a district purely agricultural, the protectionists of the district dared not to meet the inhabitants of the town, and Ilfracombe pronounced unanimously and energetically against the corn-laws. 'We have said that the meeting had nu external aid, and, truth to say, it needed none. The opening speech Of Mr. DICKENSON, the worthy portreeve of the tthowen, is one o f th e most logical ar gumen t s aga i nst t o read, r°4 aws that it has ever been our good fortune and it is as eloquent as it is logical. The wages protection fallacy " was admirably exposed by him. Mr. T3LlGii,too, went into some statistics with regard t o the labourer s of Devonshire, which are most important, corningyea.swt.htey do from a gen tleman who is daily an e which he describes, and who, living of the scenes of the district in whi c h t h ese : 11 1 )8 i n t h e m id st 1g taking place, cannot be suspe c t e d of exaggeration gageZi o in asmuch as he would thereby l ay himselll'' opento instant contradiction and exp osure . " Thelut plea," said Mr. Bunn, "that I shall notice is, that they would continue this tax for the benefit of the labourers. There are about 20,000 of these poor fel lows in the county of Devon existing upon Bs. per week. Let us for a moment consider this bene fited class. Upon an average they have four children, making a family of six ; deduct Is. a week for rent, Is. for fire and candles, 2a. for clothes, shoes, and bedding, they had a balance of 4s. left to furnish food for 21 meals for six human beings, that is, less than 2id. per meal." Now is it not the vilest hypocrisy to talk of the corn-laws keeping up the rate of wages after this ? The example which Ilfracombe has thus set in holding a town's meeting without external aid is a noble one, and will, we trust, be generally followed by the inhabitants of other places. A few more of those spontaneous independent meetings will effectually put the screw upon Sir ROBERT PEEL ; and although we know, from experience, that he is made of squeezable materialst yet, if the pressure be not kept up, he is, like Indian rubber, apt to rebound; therefore, to quote the elo quent words of Mr. JONES, the proposer of the second resolution, " We would importune them, as they value their country's welfare and happiness, to surround the Throne with petition upon petition— with remonstrance upon *ili! , nstrance — yea, upon 1 this matter we would have thal become perfect O'Connellites, and agitate ! agitate ! ! agitate!! ! and never hold their peace until the statute-book shall be relieved of one of the foulest blots that ever disgraced its pages." The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the re marks on the KING'S Speech and the sessional busi ness of the Chamber of Deputies. Some of the Op position journals continue to blame that part of the Speech which relates to England ; and the Siecle in particular, which asserts that ➢I. GUIZOT has placed the dynasty and nation under the protectorate of that country, to which the Government paper, the Journal des Debuts, thus replies :—" As regards the English alliance, all sensible men consider it to be the safest guarantee of the peace of the world. This, our opinion, has been repeatedly expressed by M. TRIERS himself. But England stands as much in need of our alliance as we do of hers ; neither country deemed itself obliged to place itself under the protectorate of the other. England did not place herself under our protectorate by consenting to the abolition of the right of search, and Queen VICTORIA did not come to France the first to make the homage of her crown to the KING of the FRENCH, no more than Lours PHILIPPE, in returning the visit of the Queen of GREAT BRITAIN, proclaimed himself her liege subject. England and France are united be cause they have but one and the same interest, one and the same object—the maintenance of the peace of the world—because everything tends to unite them, placed, as they both are, at the head of the free and civilised nations. The two Governments inspire each other with mutual confidence ; they have given each other pledges of mutual loyalty ; and if the Bri tish Cabinet consented to a very great sacrifice in its opinion —that of the right of search—it was, because it knew that the French Cabinet, the Cabinet of the 29th of October, concealed no arriere pewee, and prosecuted with similar ardour the abolition of the odious slave•trade. The alliance is consequently honourable on both sides—it is free ;it rests on a mu tual exchange of good offices. The Speech from the Throne expressed nothing else ; it might have ex pressed the same truth in still stronger terms, without wounding in the least the dignity of France.' The prospects of the session, as far as one can judge from present appearances, are of a very peaceable character, and the labours of the Chambers will pro bably be devoted chiefly to internal improvements, and the affairs connected with the material interests of the country. This, indeed, appears to be the view taken by M. SAPEY, who, as senior Member of the Chamber, occupied the President's chair till the appointment of M. SAUZET. On addressing the Members before he resigned the office, he made some judicious remarks, which deserve to be quoted:— " The principal measure," said he, " for which the gratitude of France would be due to the present Chamber, was the establishment of the vast network of railways, which must afford such rapid and ad vantageous openings to the produce of the country, and, at the same time, increase the well-being of the working-classes. In speaking of these great lines of communication, he could not but express his regret that the somewhat too ardent impulse that had marked their commencement, had given birth to an over-excited spirit of speculation, which had produced a crisis in the money-market. He had no doubt that the Minister of Finance would take the pro per steps to prevent such a state of things for the future. The Hon. Deputy then referred to the necessity of discussing, in the course of the session, the best means of keeping up such a reserve for the army as would, without entailing any expense on the nation, afford the means Of raising a large moveable force at a moment's warning. He hoped, also, that the navy would be placed on such a footing as was suitable to the dignity of France. He trusted that, in consider ing the wants of Africa, it would be borne in mind that conquest had run its course, and that the spirit of order and civilisation ought at length to prevail in its turn. The wish of the Councils-General called loudly for two reforms—the diminution of the duty on salt, and a uniform postage of letters ;" of both of these measures he acknowledged himself to be a warm advocate. But what, above all, ought, he observed, to occupy the attention of the Chamber, was the financial condition of the kingdom, and he trusted that zealous efforts would be made to confine the expenditure within the limits of the receipts. The Hon. Deputy, after dwelling on the necessity of carrying on the dis cussions without having recourse to useless recrimi nations, concluded by thanking the Chamber for the indulgence which they had manifested towards him during the course of their preparatory proceedings. This address was well received. The Committee on the Address in the Peers met on Wednesday, and having expressed a desire to obtain explanations from the President of the Council and the Minister of the Interior, it was agreed that they should attend the Committee on Saturday. We subjoin some miscel laneous extracts from the papers : "On Wednesday, at one o'clock, on the occasion of the approaching new year, the King received the Arch bishop of Paris and his clergy. At eight in the evening his Majesty received the ladies of the corps diplo matique, and at half-past eight the Council of State. " According to the official reports of administration of criminal justice in France during the eight years, from 1836 to 1848 inclusively, 47 parricides have obtained the benefit of the law which authorises juries to return with their verdicts of guilty a declaration of the exist ence of extenuating circumstances. Of these, the greatest culprits, 19 have had their punishments reduced from death to hard labour for a limited number of years, at the expiration of which they are let loose again upon society, with the indelible stain of their father's blood upon their heads. During the same period of eight years there were convicted of wilful murder, including poisonings and infanticides, 1,307 persons, who by the same finding of extenuating circumstances escaped the capital punish ment which would have been their doom but for the law which puts it in the power of the jury, by the addition of the above-mentioned finding to their verdicts, to re duce this penalty. " During the first fortnight of December the average price of the hectolitre of wheat was,—at Toulouse, Gray, Lyons, and Marseilles, 24f. Bc. ; at Marans and Bor• deaux, 211.81 c .; a t L auren t an d Le Grand Lemps, 22f. 27c.; at Mulhausen and Strasburgh, 24f. 96c.; at Ber gues, Arras, Roye, Soissons, Paris and Rouen, 211. 53c.; at Saumur and Nantes, 19f. 44c.; at Metz, Verdun, and Charleville, 21f. 13c.; and at St. Lo, Paimpol, Quimper, and lennebon 191. 94c." " The price of b rea d for the first fortnight of the pre sent month remains fixed at 38 centimes the kilogramme (about 7d. for the 41b. loaf). " There issued from the French press, during the year 1845, 6,521 books of various kinds, 1,405 prints, 492 pieces of music, and 104 maps—in all 8,520 works. " M. Alfred Marcy Monge, who perished in the wreck of the Papin steamer, was a grandson of the celebrated mathematician of that name. M. Marey Monge was ad mitted into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1840, as a junior in the Consular Department, and was soon after wards appointed provisional consul at Belgrade. Thence he was removed as Consul to Corunna. An accidehkai milar to that by which he lost his life gave him an opfoli tunity in 1844 of distinguishing himself. The Vedette Government steamer, on the 15th October in that year, while at anchor off Corunna, was in danger of being lost, from a sudden and violent galo of wind coming on. The state of the sea was so tremendous that no one else had courage to face it ; but M. Monge jumped into a boat, and, being followed by others encouraged by his example, the Vedette was reached, and brought safe into port. For this bold and humane act he was invested with the Order of the Legion of Honour. In June last he was appointed Consul at Mogadore, in the room of M. H. Jorelle, and was going there when he met his fate, being only 31 years of age. He has left two brothers, the eldest a Major-General serving with dis tinction in Africa, and the youngest attached to the French mission in Chins." BUSINESS LDDOONNE as a close holiday. At TORT .

Madrid journals of the 25th ult. have been re ceived, but, owing to the severity of the weather, those of the 26th had not reached Fads at the &par. ture of the English mail on the Ist inst. The accounts of thestate of the capital and provinces are satisfactory. The Minister of Finance is proceeding with great firmness in reforming the gross abuses in his depart ment, and, of course, has excited enemies among the jobbers and plunderers. A. paper called the Universal, indeed, appears to have been established for the pur pose of attacking the new system ; but we trust with out effect. He has already done wonders. He has taken up his official residence at the Custom-house, where he is actively endeavouring to complete his financial schemes. It is affirmed that he intends doing away with the provincial intendants and other agents of his department, and est blishing " receivers-general" of the taxes, as is the case in France. It is also said that he contemplates opening to each Ministerial de partment a separate credit, in order that each Secre tary of State may positively know what resources he may dispose of. The Bourse, of course, was closed on Christmas-day. TIIE MINISTRY.—The following are the new Ministers of the Cabinet :—The Earl of Dalhousie, President of the Board of Trade; the Earl of Ellen borough, First Lord of the Admiralty ; the Earl of St. Germans ' Postmaster General, an d t h e Ri g h t Hon. W. Gladstone, Secretary for the Colonies. The Earl of Haddington has been appointed Lord Privy Seal, in the room of the Duke of Buccleuch, who succeeds Lord Wharncliffe as Lord President of the Council. It is not probable that the election for the West Riding of Yorkshire will take place until after the meeting of Parliament. No writ of summons has yet been issued calling Lord Wharncliffe to the House of Peers, and until that be done, no vacancy can be declared. SUSSEX HOSPITAL, BRIGIITOII.—We are glad to learn that a very talented young gentleman, Mr. Edward Parson, was unanimously elected surgeon to the Sussex Hospital, at Brighton, in a manner as highly gratifying to his feelings, as it was honourable to the patrons of that very useful establishment. Mr. Parson officiated for some considerable time at the hospital during the absence of the former surgeon. THE QUEEN'S COURT. The Lord Mayor and Corporation of the city of London proceeded from town to Windsor Castle this morning, to present an address against the Corn- lass s. The Lord Mayor and a deputation from the Cor poration of the city of Dublin also went down to Windsor this forenoon, to present an ad4ress to the Queen, praying for the opening of the ports. Both addresses will be received on the Throne, and the Sovereign, on this interesting ceremonial, will be attended by Sir Robert Peel, Sir James Graham, and others of the Ministers, who have left town to attend the Court. Her Majesty will hold an Investiture of the Bath this afternoon at Windsor Castle, at which some of the principal knights and officers of the order will assist. Extensive preparations have been made at the Castle for the reception and accommodation of the very numerous visitors who will fill its spacious saloons. CLERKENITELL.-(THIS DAY.) Elizabeth Doman was placed at the bar, charged with being an accomplice with a p ers on named Smith, now in custody, in robbing Mr. Linton, of 85, Hatton-garden, of plate, wearing apparel, half a dozen of claret, and other wines, with many other valuable articles. When the prisoner Smith, who described himself as a person of independent fortune residing in Victoria-road, Peckham, was brought before the magistrate, it was said that the prisoner Doman had taken poison, and such was the fact. When, however, she heard of Smith being in custody, she went voluntarily to the police-court, and thence to the police-station, where she was at once se cured and charged with the felony. Inspector Penny stated that she had plunged into a water-but with the intent of drowning herself, and that she had been formerly a nurse in the Fever Institution, and latterly passed as Smith's wife, who was a visitor at Mr. Linton's house, but against the wish of that gen tleman. The prisoner acknowledged she was a party to taking the wine, but denied any knowledge of the plate and wearing apparel. She was remanded. MARLBRO'-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) John Wilson and Thomas Simmons, able-bodied young men, about 25 years of age, were charged with causing a disturbance at St. George's Workhouse, in Mount street, Grosvenor-square. John Lacy, the officer of the parish, stated that about eight o'clock last evening the prisoners applied at the worknouse to be sheltered for the night. They were told that they could not be received, as the place was quite full, but they were offered food and directed to proceed on their way to the parish to which they be longed. They refused to receive the food, and continued to ring violently at the hall -door bell, and caused a number of persons to assemble in a riotous and tumultuous manner . Eventually they were given in charge to the police, and when searched at the station, Wilson was found to have 2s. Bd. in his possesion, and Simmons Is. 4id., and a large quantity of broken victuals, cold roast beef, potatoes, &c. Mr. HARDWICK said that these excesses of persons applying for relief could not be permitted. He hoped that this case would be a caution to the prisoners and others. If they would promise to go on their way to their parishes, he should discharge them. They gladly consented to do so, and were liberated. HAMBURGH AND FLANDERS MAILS. VIENNA, DEC. 23.—Great preparations are making for the arrival of the Emperor of Russia, who is very shortly ex pected. In some circles great pleasure is felt at the Em peror's having, as is said, kissed the Pope's hand ; and though it is well kno.gtll, known that Russian diplomacy is accus tomed remarkable insinuat ing meeting, because it tone, yet great im ptoemrteadeeteo uss attached a flatt to was a meeting between great principles. `Pith respect to the projected marriage we hear nothing, and we might be tempted flattering, to believe that the whole matter had fallen to the ground : it has hitherto been enveloped in so much mystery that it is difficult to say anything definitive on the subject. VIENNA, DEC. 20.—Numerous arrests have taken place in Galicia. There are even reports that the plot has extended to the military.—Hanzburgh Papers, Dec. 31. BRUSSELS, bEC. 30.—The average price of Wheat, in the week ending the 27th of December, was 23f. 86c., and that of Rye ISE 28c. This price differs little from those of the pre ceding week. Wheat and Rye are five centimes dearer. The Senate, in its sitting on the 29th, adopted the projects of law authorising the Government to modify the regime of the importations and transit, either direct or in transit through the entrepots, and the budgets of the public debt, and of the dotations.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT OPPOSITE SOMERSET HOUSE. —This afternoon, about ten minutes after one o'clock, the following frightful accident occurred to a gentleman, at pre sent unkown, which it is feared will terminate fatally. It appears that at the time above named the unfortunate gen tleman, who seems about forty years of age, was in the act of crossing the roadway from Somerset House, towards the 11torning Chronicle newspaper office, and before he could reach the kerb he was knocked down by a heavily laden cart belonging to Messrs. Mott and Co., the pianoforte manufacturers, of the Strand. The driver did all he could to prevent the accident, but before the horse could be stopped the off wheel passed over his body, about the loins. He was lifted from the ground by several persons who witnessed the accident, and placed in a cab in an insensibie state, with va rious contusions about the hands and face. Ho was taken to the King's College Hospital, where he was put under the care of the house surgeon. He was in a very precarious state at half-past-one this afternoon. ROBBIRY AT A COAST-GUARD STATION.—Friday information was circulated among the Metropolitan and City police that some thief or thieves had, by some means, entered the station of the Coast-guard at Corton, Lowestoft, near Yarmouth, end stolen therefrom nine pistols, which are de. sh•ribed as having the Government (commonly called the Tower) mark upon the barrels, and flint locks, brass mounted, stop locks, swivel ram rods, barrels 4i inches long, rings upon the ends, by which they are fasten - A to the person using them at sea, and maker's name engraved upon the locks, " Barnet." The audacity of the robbery has c'oubtlessly thrown the parties connected with the above station into considerable exc;tement, as it might probably have been effected by some bold smugglers, or through their instrumentality, in order to further their designs. Sir W. Fletcher, whose eccentricities have for some time past formed the principal topic of conversation with the good people of Toulouse, has been placed in a )liaison do Sante, there being no doubt that his reason is affected. Liebig, the well known chemist, has just been created Baron by the Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt. PERRAN PORTIL—On Sunday last, a boat, about 14 feet long, was picked up at this place, by Mr. Moses Bawden, having a spar hole lashed to the thwarts. There was no name painted on her, but it is supposed that she belonged to some vessel that has been l os t in the channel.— West Briton. UNITED TWINS.—Th e twin children born four or five months ago, united to each other from end to end, died on Monday night, one at eight o'clock , and the other at ten; so th a t t h e l ast survivor rema i ne d a tt a ched to the dead body f its si s t er f or two hours.—G a li gnan i. On Alonday t wo casks o f w i ne , found floating at sea by a French vessel, were taken to Shoreham, and de posited in the Custom-house stores. The master of the tench ship stated that there s. ci a an hkinien.se nu:nber of casks in the sea, but that the violence of the gale prevented him from securing any more. There is no doubt but that a vessel, laden with wine, has foundered off this coast. —Brig/v. ton ilera/d, CADtrZI 92bttion MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

Aft i ADULTERATION OF TOBACCO WITH CHICO— 4 } Thomas and John Garton, of Lincoln, tobacco-manufact were charged upon to o informations, ordered by the e e missioners of Ex c i se , w ith having adulterated their too ',f; with chicory and o th er sacc h ar i ne matters contrary to if 0 and also with h av i ng .th e before-named illegal art.3 o % - f er their possession. 'P ro f essor G ra h am, of the London ul o 0 sity, and Mr. G. Phillips, analyti ca l c h em i sts, attendee behalf of the Crown ; Mr. A n d rews f or t h e defendants. ei fessor Graham and Mr. G. Phillips proved having exsento samples of the tobacco, which they found adulterated W e t extent of three per cent. with saccharine matter. Thel`,ol tested that tobacco in its natural state did not contain td saccharine matter what ever , an d th a t w h ere t wo o r 1 7 per cent. was obtai ne d b y fermentation from 0 3 t td factured tobacco, it was quite clear that saccharine 1 ,1 : 0 0 had been used for th a t p urpose. T hese witnesses 0 examined at great length by Mr. Andrews, for purpose of showing that the chemical fermentation periments were not to be d e p en d e d upon as oral Di when only small portions of saccharine matter coati!! obtained. These opinions, he contended, were suffiela6 borne out by the report of the Committee on the tewii l o trade, made to the House of Commons in 1842. lle read portions of th e ev id ence g i ven b y t h e above gentivd before that C omm i ttee, to show that their results of acti r y lion were by no means uniform, and particularly in en e o te of tobacco, which was perfectly pure, which they w had L t i:# to be adulterated with loaf b rea d cu t up w i th the tici and that it also contained a little sugar . Th e same 10 also contained conflicting opinions from the most e 0 chemists as to the accuracy of the Excise tests.

The same defetw? were again indicted for mixing five or six per cent. of p 0 eory with 7501b5. of tobacco. The solicitor for the defee, 0 51 , pleaded guilty, at th e same t i me alleging that they (" dants) were inno cen t, and that what was called chicor i ii o '" merely smalls, received from retailers, and mixed 11 1 ) the larger cut tobacco. In thi s case a fi ne of 1001. 0 ,,, f:(a flicted; and in each case the tobacco was adjudged to be tIY feited to the Crown. These cases were brought befor e s magistrates on a former occasion, but the proceedings quashed in consequence of an informality. bo o B ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Yesterday aft e rn o on, - s ) two o'clock, a most determined attempt at suicide was li t i r ed by Mr. H.
