The assurance that the plans and Sections would be complete long before the 30th, was repeated at two several meetings of settle of the Committee. at Birmingham in the middle of Novei ber. and reio= rated in London from day to day, and from hoar to hoar, towards the close of the month, until, tired out by the frequent excuses for not producing the same, several members of the Committee resolved to convince themselves as to the real state of things by an investigation at the lithographer's office, when, to their extreme astonishment, they found that, even so late as Sattirclay afternoon, the lecithin., had not been engraved. By dint of the greatest exertions, however, this part of the duty was at lengtk got through, though, as it afterwards preyed, in a most defective manner. On the morning of the 30th the lithographer ceased his labours, really, or pretending to be, broken down by exertion, At this critical moment of the proceedings three of the Committee and the solicitor found themselves reduced to the necessity of assist ing personally in the lithographer's work, and in arranging and binding up the sheets, And by these means, at length, in the afternoon of the 30th, the Plans and Sections were dispatched to their several destinations ; but notwithstanding every exertion, especially on the part of. Mr. Woody, ono of the Committee, and of the local agents intrusted with this duty, the Deposits were too late to comply with the standing orders of Parliament. The Committee have only further to add, that they have endea voured to do their duty faithfully to the shareholders, but after all their labours .(the Sections being, on examination, found so utterly worthless) they consider the only honest course left them to pursue is that which is embodied in the resolutions before:neenti 4 - wM.

Upon payment of the arrear of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled to a full partici pation of the profits. The Assured may at ail tunes harrow an amount equal to the value of the pnlicy, Gn its security. In alt the transactions of the Company the utmost liberality will be exorcised. A table of premiums will shortly be published. TONTINE ANNUITIES. This Company, in submitting the subject of Tontine Annuities to the public, is influenced by the belief that there are many persons, who from the hope of longevity, and the desire of ease and affluence as they progress through life, will gladly avail themselves of this mode of investment ;—by which they will secure a large remunera tive and increasing income, guarantoe4 to them by the Company during their own live 9 the lives a their nominee.

GREAT FREE TRADE MEETING AT LAMBETH. On Tuesday a meeting of the electors of Lambeth took place at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, for the purpose of taking measures to petition Parliament for the total repeal of the corn-laws. The large room of the Horns was completely filled. Among the gentlemen on the platform, we observed Mr. Hawes, M.P., Mr. T. D'Eyncourt, M-P., Mr. Moffatt, M.P., Mr. Wilson, Mr. Watkinson, Mr. Poulter, Mr. J. A. Lyon, Mr. R. S. Dixon, Mr. Cash, Mr. Bone, Mr. Byron, Mr. Renton, Mr. B. Baker, &c. &c. Mr. RICHARD POPE took the chair mid opened the business of the meeting. He appeared before them as what the world °ailed a Conservative, but he could not help taking a part in the anti-corn-law struggle, consi dering the question to be whether this country was or was not to be starved ? —(Hear, hear.) He avowed : that he had only recently become a free trader.—(Hear, hear.) He had been much struck by the arguments which he had heard adduced at a recent anti-corn-law meeting in the borough of Lambeth; and a speech of that great man, Mr. Cobden—(Cheers)—which he had had an opportunity of listening to lately at Wakefield, had decided him never, on any future election, to sup port any but a free trader.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gen tleman then proceeded to advert to the failure of the potato crop, and to inquire whether the League did not seem to be in earnest in its proceedings, when they con sidered the commencement which had been made the other day of the subscription for the gigantic fund which the League had determined to raise. —(Cheers.) Mr. CASH moved the first resolution, to the effect that the deficiency in the harvest, as well as the diseased state of the potato crop, rendered some such measure as the repeal of the torn-laws absolutely necessary.— (Cheers.) He referred to the misery generally existing amid the agricultural population themselves, and on that ground urged the necessity of opening the ports. If the Ministry did not repeal the bread -tax of their own good will, they would be forced to do it by the power of the constituencies of the kingdom.—(R ear , hear.) Let the people be but true to themselves. If they wished for cheap bread, they could have it.—(Cheers.) Mr. DIxoN seconded the resoultion, observing that when they reflected upon their isolated situation, and the confined space which they could appropriate to agricul tural pursuits, it was evident that they could only exist as a political body, by being a great manufacturing and commercial nation. Let them look at our increasing population, and let them say whether it was probable, I that supposing that population to go on increasing as it bad done, they could be fed by the supplies afforded by this country. From the constitution of Sir Robert Peel's Government, they had reason to expect that some half-and-half corn-law measure would be propounded by it.—(Hear.) But they would be satisfied with no such attempted settlement of the question. It must be finally and for ever settled by a total repeal of those unjust enactments which taxed a people for the sake of the aristocracy.—(Hear.) In Belgium and other continental nations, everythieg possible had been done to avert the consequences of the foarcity which threatened Europe. This country alone was apathetic; and he thought it was high time that they should arise from their mesmeric slumbers, and be up and doing in the great cause of free-trade. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by seconding the resolution. Mr. klAwEs t ht.; then clone forward Amidst loud cheering, and said he felt great pleasure in having the opportunity of meeting the electors of the borough o Lambeth on that occasion. He rejoiced at that oppor tunity, not from a desire to ascertain their opinion upon the question of the corn-laws, for he was well aware that they were favourable to the principles of free trade, nor from any desire to express his own opinions to them upon that important subject, for the great majority of the electors of Lambeth being free-traders themselves, well knew that since he had obtained a vote in the House of Commons that vote had always been given in favour of the principles of free trade—(Cheers)—but he re joiced at seeing that meeting assembled on that occasion, as it would enable himself and his Hon. Colleague to go to Parliament and say that they had been sent there removing t monopoly n ohpaodl) seen e o n f by a constituency who w ere unan i mous as to the expe diencynot nothing i ncgo corn-laws.— i c a h " a ' s n . g — e the opinion which he had long before f orme d, name l y, that they had an injurious and mischi evous ten d ency. If there was any individual at that meeting of th e i n h a bi tants (C ee r f ) Fur his part, he of the borough who was an advocate of the corn-laws, he sincerely desired the individual who held those opinions would comeforward and allege reasons for maintaining his views, for there was nothing so tiresome or tedious as slaying twice and thrice the giant monopoly the corn laws.—(Hear, hear.) lie had no desire in speaking of that question to appeal to the passions of those around him, or to set one class against another.—(Cheers.) No; he would confine honselr to reason and argument, in proof of the opinions which he entertained, and which he would show were founded upon just and correct principles.—(Cheers.) There were three courses open to her M ijesty's Ministers with respect to the corn-laws. ['hey might either propose to maintain the existing law, but he conceived that to uphold it longer would be im possible ; or they might in some shape or form diminish a portion of the protection to agriculture, and in some mysterious manner endeavour to persuade the public that everything was done which could be done in order to properly arrange the qu-stion. If it were proposed, in order to effect that object, that there should be some sort of fixed duty, he for one would take that opportu nity of raising his voice against a fixed duty.—(Cheers.; Now, when it was considered- that corn was ,e,.prigie necessary of life, and when they had been told, upon the authority of Ministers of the Crown, that at periods when there was an abundance of food there was less crime in the country, and greater prosperity than at other periods, he maintained that it formed a strong argument in favour of putting an end to any legislation which could have the effect of ren dering food scarce and dear. He said he was opposed to a fixed duty, anti he recollected that Sir Robert Peel had expressed himself as opposed to a fixed duty—not that it would form any very potent argument in favour of his always maintaining that opinion.—(Laughter and cheers.) He (Mr. Hawes) would maintain that the abo lition of time corn-laws would be of the greatest service to the country, for whatever injured trale would equally affect the landed interest in time, and he believed that a cheap and abundant supply of corn would make the po pulation more happy and contented, and by giving a better field for their industry enable them to be better customers of that which the farmers produce, and thus he would be a partaker in the general prosperity.— (Hear, hear.) The landowners, indeed, said that one claim which they had for a peculiar protection to their interest was based upon the fact that they had peculiar burdens to sustain, and, in answer to that argument, he (Mr. Hawes) called upon them to prove their case. He invited them to prove before a Committee of the House of the Commons that they were subjected to peculiar burdens ; but until they had proved that fact, be would continue to deny that they had any peculiar burdens to sustain, and consequently to deny the argument in favour of the corn-laws which was NEW VOLUME.

He conceived that the existing law might be looked upon as having been given up, for those who introduced it were now abcut to relinquish it, al though the public had been to the last hour told it had worked well.—(Laughter.) It was now condemned by its own authors, and no argument was required on his part to show that it had not been useful or beneficial to the country. They had now viewed the two courses of maintaining a fixed duty or the present scale, and they next came to the consideration of a duty-free trade in corn. They would, in looking at that question, naturally ask, was a duty-free trade in corn calculated to produce the effect which some of the friends of the corn-law as serted it would, namely, would it throw the land in this country out of cultivation, and bring ruin up in the agri culttirists? It was most important to have that portion of the subject fully understood, and that question per fectly answered, and he (sir. Hawes) was ready to as sign the sound reasons which convinc'd him that no such effect could follow the abolition of the corn-laws. What benefit had the agricultural interest received from the corn-laws? There were about 120 statues on the statute-book the object of every one of which was to give protection in some shape to agriculture, and every one of those statutes had failed in its avowed object —(Hear, hear) —and every one which was intended to regulate the supply of corn had been altered or repealed from time to time. In 1773 a law was passed which ad proached more nearly to free trade than any of the others, and it happened singularly enough, that the sta tute of 1773 remained longest upon the statute•book.— (Cheers.) That law allowed corn to come into our mar kets at a nominal duty when the price in this country , was over 485., and he could show from excellent autho rity that 20 years after it passed the condition of the farmers was better than it had been since with a higher protection.—(Hear, hear.) A merchant of London, in a publication upon the subject of the currency, published in 1798 or 1799, charged the country bankers with doing injury by lending money to the farmers to enable them , to hold over their stocks of corn, and is reply to that charge, a distinguished man, Sir Francis Bering, made a statement which threw great light upon the condition of the farmers at that period. He said that the general mass of the bankers in the country, instead of lending money to the farmers, looked to them for deposits and support, and that it was rare for the farmers to want to borrow money, whilst the instances were not rare where they even accommodated the landlords with loans.—(Hear, hear.) Could that be said in twenty years after the enactment of any of the other laws for the protection of agriculture?—(" No, no.) During the French war—partly from the effect of monopoly, partly from the expenses of importation, and partly from bad seasons—prices rose higher, and additional land was put into cultivation ; and in 1815, when the peace took place, a law was introduced in order to uphold those high prices and high rents which had been produced during the progress of the war.—(Hear, hear.) He was in a condition to prove that the law of 1815 was passed in order to upheld rents and the war prices.—(Hear.) The price at which the duty was to be nominal was then fixed at 80s., as it was alleged, to meet the increased ex penses of agriculture, and to give remuneration to the grower. The monopoly was thus established by the law of the land; but in 1816 corn was down to 52s in this country, when it should have been at 80s., if that were to be the remunerating price for the agriculturists Then there were bad seasons, and prices rose; and then there were committees to inquire into the cause of agricul cultural distress and manufacturing distress.—(Hear, hear.) When the corn was cheap the farmers com plained of being distressed for want of remune rating prices, and when corn was high then manufacturers and artizans were distressed. The law of 1815 was found to be too stringent in its character, and in 11122 a new law was proposed and carried; but it was never in operation, for it was enacted that it should not come into operation until corn reached 80s., and as corn never reached 80s. whilst that law was in existence, it never came into operation.— (Hear, hear.) From 1822 to 1828 there was a continual shifting and patching of the corn-law, and last the Bill of 1823 was introduced. In 1815 the growers of corn were to be secured at 80s., but that law failed, and in 1828 the friends of agriculture only asked 645. In 1830 the King's speech prominently put forth agricultural distress as one of its topics ; and in 1833 a Committee was appointed to inquire into the cause of that agricultural digress. In 1836 there was another committee to inquire into agri cultural distress ;so it was apparent that those laws for the protection of agriculture had failed in their object, and were but a delusion, holding out promises to the farmer which they did not realise.—(:-Tear. hear.) The author of the report of the Committee of 1836, himself an enlightened agriculturist, called the corn-law a delusive protection, and stated that the farmers had been for some years sinking under it, and paying their rents out of their capital. The writer to whom he alluded was the Right Hon. Gentleman who now fills the chair of the House of Commons, and who, as he before remarked, '1 was an enlightened agriculturist himself. hey next came to the law of 1842 ; but be would not say any thing of that law, as the Minister who proposed it was about to give it up, and as it was now in fact but the ghost of a corn-law.--(hear, hear, and laughter.) He believed that he had said enough to show the meeting that these laws for the protection of agriculture had been a delusion, and he therefore thought he was right in saying that the best course to p ursue wou l d b e to do away with protectio n altogether.—(Cheers.) He was, therefore, in favour of the repeal of the corn-laws, and f or a perfect free trade in that article.—(Cheers.) He was aware that every approach to free trade had been looked upon by some p ersons as t h e s i gna l o f t h e ap proaching ruin of the agricultural interest, and most of them remembered the obloquy with which Mr. Huskis son was met when he first proposed an introduction of the principles of free trade. At that time all the inte rests which were connected with iron, silk, and shipping would be ruined ; but what was the fact ? Now in 1845 , twenty years after Mr. Huskisson brought forward those propositions, those interests which he touched were in a more flourishing state than before. The iron trade and the shipping trade had greatly increased, and experience had shown that the predictions, as regarded those interests, by those who were opposed to the principles of free trade, had utterly failed. What had the world and what had they not lost, by not long ago following out those principles ?—(Cheers.) All the great authorities of the world had been free-traders—Mr. Pitt was a tree-trader—Lord Grenville declared in his famous protest, that monopoly was the parent of dear ness, scarcity, and want,—(Cheers.) Then they had share of rb'' Adam Smith, Ricardo, M'Culloch, ranged upon their side—a mighty array, in short, of statesmen—of theo retical and practical authorities, all declaring their so lemn conviction that :he doctrines of free trade were those of justice and truth.—(Hear.) What. had they lost by monopoly ? lie need not remind them that their North American colonies were sacrificed to its de mends, eel now they found every nation in Europe copying their bad example, while this country was sulfa-in.; from the evil precedents which it itself had set. —(ilear.) Then look to France, it was a country full of all they most required. But let them remember what an insignificant trade existed between us and our neigh ' hours on the other side of the Channel.—(Hear.) Why was it so ? why, when our Government pressed for a liberal treaty of commerce they were continually met by taunting allusions to our own monopolist enactments.— (Hear.) Again, let them look to the state of America. By opening our markets to the produce of the United Suttee they would be tending more than by any other means to restore and promote peaceful relations between Eagland and her ol:t colonies—(llcar)—relations, the surest and broadest basis of which must ever be free trade (Cheers.) Free trade in fact was a kind of hostage for the peace of the world, and it would be well if the people of the dill, rent countries of Europe would take a large and enlightened view of their interests—a view which could tiring them to no conclusion other than that free trade was the best and greatest security for the peace,the civilisation, and the progress of the world.—(Cheers.) These were his principles, and he confessed that he should feel fortified in them, and in giving expression to them in the House of C ommons, by th e e general concurrence which they had met with from that large and respectable „ we a n .- of his constituents, the inhabitants of the borough of Lambeth. The Hon. Gentleman resumed his seat amid much loud applause. ML. BYRON proposed the next resolution, to the effect that the meeting pledged itself only to support that Go vernment which would propose the total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws. _ _ Mr. CHRI:TIE seconded the resolution, congratulating the meeting upon the conversion to free-trade principles of their chairman.—(Cheers.) T.IVEYNcounr, Esq., M.P., then shortly addressed the meeting. He stood in a distinct position from his Hon. Colleague wilo had just addressed them. He was a land owner. He enjoyed the signal distinction of being en trusted with their confidence—a confidence which he would ever attempt to merit by being ready, when the time came to take that course which the public interest indicated.—(Hear, hear.) He assured them that he was heart and soul with them, and with his Hon. Col leag,ue—( Hear, hear)—agreeing as he did with him in all the sentiments which he had expressed, and which he perceived they were so eager favourably to entertain. —(Cheers.) He had at a former period voted for a fixed duty to replace the corn-laws. Let it not be supposed from that moment that he was an advocate of a fixed duty. But he thought that a moderate fixed duty would have ha I—just as well as corn-law repeal—the effect of opening the markets of the world ; the great desideratum they had to complain of—the great object they had to struggle for.—(Hear, hear.) At all events, a fixed duty would have been infi nitely better than the present sliding-scale. He had often been challenged upon this subject. He had been frequently asked whether he was for a total repeal of the corn-laws? His reply had always been as it now was_ The production of corn was a manufacture—he manufacturer of corn. L e t th em re p ea l - - was a ties upon all articles of manufaete- protective du happy in that case to reoP-' ...e, and he would be the rest.—(EL, an that upon corn also with t ra d e see' • . ...ear.) The great apostles ;of free -eu now to be agreed upon that point. Let ...em, then, be agreed as to the repeal of all protecting duties—let them be just to all. He should be satisfied with such an arrangement ; and if the landed interest generally were not, they ought to be.--(Cheers.) Re- K-rence had been made as to the course which Sir Robert Peel would probably adopt. He thought it a vain ima gination to suppose that the Premier would go for un conditional free-trade. He thought he would rather take the course which his Hon Colleague had hinted at, and would propose :some half-and-half measure.—(Cries of No, no. No half-and-half measures.") His own dis position distinctly was to oppose any such measure ; and then if there should be concluded, as he trusted there wo:dd be, a union between the Liberals and many gen tlemen sitting on the opposite side of the House, which tnight have the effect, at no distant day, of again eject ing the Tory Ministry from office, then there would be an appeal to the people, and he trusted that they would be well prepared for it.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. WiLsoN had listened attentively to the speech of their representative, Mr. D'Eyncourt, and he wished to have a more explicit statement from that Hon. Gentle man, as to the course which he intended to take with resp..ct to the corn-law question in the House of Com mons. He was desirous to be informed if the Hon. Meinh-r was prepared to vote for a total and uncon ditional repeal of the corn-laws, at the meeting of Par liament?—(flear, hear.) Mr. D'Evszcocier said that since he first entered public life, nearly half a century ago, it had been his universal practice never to give a pledge upon any sub ect.—(Cries of " Hear, hear," mingled with marks of disapprobation.) He had always candidly and fully ex pressed his opinions, and he had acted consistently and honestly in Parliament, and with regard to pledges, he was confident that his Hon. Colleague would give the same answer which he had given. He had, on three occasions, brought forward a motion for the reduction of the duration of Parliaments, and yet, if he were asked to pledge himself to any particular vote with re srwet to that question, he would refuse to give such pledge. His duty, as their representative, was not to give pledges at the call of any individual who chose to jump up and ask him to do so.—(Disapprobation, mingled with cries of " Hear.") He repeated, he had given his opinions clearly to them on the subject of the corn-laws, and he did not see how any individual could misunderstand his views. Mr. WILSON said he would have put the question to Mr. Hawes, but that his speech was clear and distinct as regarded the subject. lie thought it the duty of the meeting plainly to put the question to either of their members, whether he would or would not vote for an abolition of the corn-laws.—(Hear, and cheers.) If the Hon. Member, having been so many years in the House of Commons, had not made up his mind as yet on the subject of the corn-laws, it was time for the electors to look for some one who could make up his mind on the subject. A deputation from the constituency of Lam beth, men who co-operated with the League, had waited on the lion. Member (Mr. D'Eyncourt) on the subject, and never could get a direct answer from him with respect to it. He was of opinion that from the position which he held the Hon. Member ought to be prepared not only to vote for an abolition of the corn-law, but to exert himself strenuously to effect that object.—(Cheers.) Having put the question to the lion. Member, he thought it but fair to adopt a similar course towards his col league, and he would now ask Mr. Hawes if he was prepared to vote for an entire and unconditional repeal of the corn-laws in the ensuing Parliament. Mr. HewEs said he had spoken clearly and at length on the subject, and in the most distinct and unequivocal terrus. It they asked him after that declaration of his opinion to go into Parliament, bound hand and foot, under all circumstances, and at all times bound to vote for any particular question, he would sooner fling his scat to the winds than consent to be so bound.— (Cheers.) Neither his colleague or himself were to be brow-beaten.—(Cheers and marks of disapprobation.) He had always been the advocate of free-trade in Par liament, but he woulti not go to Parliament bound hand and foot. When a man went to the House of Commons in a deliberate character, he ought to listen to argument; but if he went there and said that nothing which he could hear would change his opinion, he must neces sarily lose dignity and self-respect. The CHAIRMAN said that he had pledged vote of r t n h oe corn-laws.—(Cheers.) a u w t s a — m ( a c n h w e e h r o s. ) would vote for h ara e b ir o abo li t - tion he ehd pledge heca corn-laws sn r edpaae:stse unconstitu tional l.s necessaryt a t ed thal‘ti e r. p considered the said a r i depetahla and beneficial; he had voted repeatedly for Mr. Villiers's motions, but he looked upon a proceeding.

Mr. HAWES thanked the meeting, and said that he would always to the best of his ability cordially and faithfully support the measure which the petition prayed for.—(Loud cheers.) They now saw the difference be tween tyranny and freedom. He Lad been the advocate of a free trade in corn—(Cheers)---before the League was in existence; and he was sure that the leaders of the League would not lend their approval to the course which had been pursued on that occasion. —(Cheers.) He would support the unconditional repeal of the corn , laws.—(Cheers.) He had called on the landlords to slow that they had exclusive burdens, and if he did so again in the House of Commons, they might, if he pledged himself to a particular vote, say it was no use talking to him, as he was bound hand and foot ; but he would never consent to go to the House of Commons un der such circumstances. Mr. IYEYNCOURT said he concurred in all the senti ments of his Honourable Colleague. He intended to vote (or the entire, unconditional, and immediate repeal of the corn-laws.—(Loud cheers.) And he would add, after what had taken place, that whenever he found that he had not the confidence of his constituents, he should be the first to desire an end of the connexion between them. A vote of thanks was passed to the leading members of the League, after which the meeting separated. THE FRENCH MINISTRY AND THE OVERLAND EXPRESSES. (From the Times.) Nothing can be more natural than that people should estimate the ma ;nitude of means by the importance of 1 results, and assign in their imaginations a due proportion 1 between cause and effect. The omne iynotum pro magni .fico will, of course, operate largely in such an estimate; and as nothing is more unknown to the general mass of mankind than the causes of political action, these are, 1 of course, set down at th 4 highest poss ibl e figure. This, however, is one of the vulgar errors—a popular delusion, extremely useful to governors, and by them Imuck cherished, but not qatte so useful to the goierned, although, strange to say, by them still more cherished. The truth is, in politics, as in the most ordinary affairs of life, the impulse of human passions is felt, though not distinctly seen. Statesmen know the touch of pride and animosity like other mortals. Governments have their petty rivalries and jealousies, filly as keen, and some times not less ridiculous, than those of smaller societies. And the consequence is, that great events of state are as frequently produced by the most insignificant causes as by wisdom and deliberation. Perhaps it was hardly necessary to point out so particularly such a familiar anomaly; nor would it have been done but for the sake of introducing an example of it, one of the strongest cer• tainly that we remember to have heard. The public has not forgotten Lieut. Waghorn's recent experiment to shorten the overland route from India. That enter prising gentleman, having often experienced the dilat ‘ry and vexatious pomposities of French officials, in passing from Marseilles to Boulogne, and being convinced, as he deel tres, that the route by Trieste is in other respects preferable, resolved to make the experi:nent of carrying his dispatches through Germany. Accordingly he con • veyed them by steamer from Alexandria to Trieste, thence through the Austrian dominions to the Rhine, and down that river to Cologne, pacing through Bel giu!n to Ostend, and so to London, thus avoiding alto eethor France and her custom-houses. He brought with him the Indian dispatches for all the papers without distinction. His attempt war not completely successful, having been chitructed, as he explained at the time, by some adverse circumstances which were not unavoid able, and would therefore nit occur again. It was, however, sufficiently promising to afford very general satisfaction ; and we, among many others, bore testimony at once to the exertions of Lieut. Waghorn and the ad vantages of his scheme. These, incite d, were obvious to a moment's reflection. In the previously existing state of things any misunderstanding with France would have interrupted or greatly disturbed our intercourse with India. Such an event history forbids us to consider im probable, and modern experience furnishes no contrast, to the annals of bygone times. An undertaking, there.- ' fore, which had for its object to render England inde pendent of France in this particular, was a national benefit. Whether projected or not under the stimulus, of private interest, it was nevertheless a public ad_ vantage, and as such should have been encouraged at least, if not promoted, by G'overrunt nt patronage. In this view we regarded the subject, and in a s;earilar view it was regarded by all the other jourr.als, with one exception. The cause of this excerW. ue will pre sently appear. Lieut. Waghorn's enterprise gave great offence to the French Government. The approbation it met with on this side the, Channel excited a propor tionate disapprobation on the other. Or rather no pro portion at all was observed; for whereas our satisfaction Gad been moderate and founded on reason, the anger of the French authorities has known no bounds nor pre served even the shadow of reason. If the conveyance of the Anglo-Indian mails from Marseilles to Boulogne had. been a private matter, in which the pecuniary interests: of individuals were deeply involved, it could have ex cited no wonder that these individuals should be alarmed by the prospect of losing their monopoly. gut that per sons in the elevated situation of the Ministers of a great and powerful country—that a man who holds the present. rank, and aspires to hold the future character, of a statseae. man --that the philosopher -historian M. Guizot sheekt e e alone, be op en t o suc h petty influences, and alive to such sordid impulses — creates no less astonishment than dis gust.ep) iaereetnlutnrldyed inexplicable, h s be f w solving we were the eftto e therecnoiBd,uotcuhtt n olad in this matter is SG Whet motive, one would ask, could possibly induce a public man, the first 11Iini'ter of one of the first of: European Powers, to o :Ater into competition in any way with a private ne”eson (for be it rem em b ere d that Lieute nant Wag h eorn was not patronised by the English Go- Verl , "' -lent), and, further, to resent the simple expression of satisfaction on the part of his countrymen, in contem plating the partial success of his enterprise? Such, however, has been the course pursued by M. Guizot, and fortunately we are not left to conjecture to discover the motive of it. As soon as the commercial treaty be tween the French Minister and the Morhing Herald was made known to us, our correspondent in Paris applied at the Hotel des Affaires Etrangeres to be admitted to a participation in the advantages of the treaty. He had an interview with M. Guizot, who rave him the following answer :—" You have wiitten to the Minister of Finance to request that the favour of purifying and delivering the dispatch of the Morning Herald immediately on its arrival at Marseilles be conceded to you also for the Times. Now, I will tell you how the matter steads. The Times lately brought by Mr. Waghorn the Indian mail from Suez to Alexandria, and thence rid Trieste to London, and boasted of having beaten by that express, and of having outstripped by that route, the French Post-office, and demonstrated —at least, as umed—that the Trieste route was shorter than by sea to Marseilles, and by land through France to Boulogne, and by Folkestone to Lon. don. Immediately afterwards we received from the Morning _Herald the following proposition :—' We :pro pose to prove that the route via Marseilles to London is shorter in point of time than that by Trieste. Will you (the French Government) participate in the expense of the attempt to prove that fact ?" We assented, and the Alexandre steamer was accordingly ordered on that ser vice under the circumstances and in the manner 3ou know. You see, therefore. that this is a joint affair of ours and the Morning Herald, and that consequently we cannot—and we regret it— allow the Times to participate in an ad vantage for which the Morning Herald is at the greater part of the expense. You see it was your own fault. You proclaimed to the world the superiority of Mr. IVaghorn over us, and you cannot be surprised that we accepted a proposition to prove the contrary fact." There is one trait in M. Guizot's character which this transac tion veryconspicuously developes--we mean his can tour. He makes no scruple to acknowledge that a vessel of the French navy—about the honourable employment of which so much has been said of late—has been used to convey the dispatches of an English newspaper in order to afford it an advantage over its c Internporaries. M. Guizot will of course be equally candid in his answer when some curious member of the Opposition asks him out of what fund the expenses of this noble enterprise have been paid. The case, on the whole, stands thus :—A private gentleman in England—the man, moreover, who first rendered the overland route practicable, in spite of the indifference or opposition of Ministers and Secreta• ries—believes that ho has discovered an improvement in that route, and in the prosecution of a private enterprise; charges himself indiscriminately with the conveyance of dispatches for all the English journals, without favour or affection. • But a public man and the Prime Minister of France, prosecuting a public undertaking, enters into a private partnership with the proprietor of a newspaper, and on the ground of private interest, excludes all the world, save his partner alone, from a share in the ad vantage. And this man's name is blown throughout the world by the trumpet of Fame, and himself regarded by thousands of Frenchmen as the first of living states men—Proh finder ! (From the He'•ald.) We have not attempted to conceal that we were under great obligations to the French Government for the assistance afforded to our agents in every respect ; but it is utterly untrue to state that this express was ar• ranged by the French Government, and that the Herald's work began only at Marseilles The facts are simply these:—lmmediately upon reading the bombastic obser vations made by the Times in support of Mr. Waghorn's project for conveying the India mail vid Germany — offered, no doubt, as a compliment to Mr. Waghorn for bringing the Times' dispatches, and with the hope of receiving his assistance hereafter—we determined upon proving the utter absurdity of the assertion that the Trieste route was the shortest, by running as rapid an express as possible frglit Sues via Marseil.es. The only difficulty in our way Was to obtain a steam-boat from ntnaheexer favour t that on e o f t h e usua l ment, stating o u r Al intention, t t o o M thaer se F ill r e e s n , c a h nd G t o o ve o r b n viate this difficulty s team : heats : n r si a le d as i v n i g betwe en Al exan d r i a , srs To i b ff tq h i l e o e ue r n e iF , n s rtgea; assistancennt French h w u p t e Ga r y t e ° o d v aieislrllthhoaa‘eNt, their incurredconsidered ourvice.desirecouldannotafford complyeveryo they li importance to England as the expediting the conveyance of the Indian mail, they had determined upon placing at our disposal a French war-steamer, which could con vey our agent to Egypt, to arrange the express from Suez to Alexandria, and for the use of which vessel the French Government could not possibly receive any pe cuniary remuneration, but they expected that a copy of the " Overland Bombay Times" should be delivered to the Government in Paris as soon as our courier arrived there. For this extremely generous, and we cannot help calling it " patriotic" assistance, we shall always feel ourselves under great obligations to the French Mi nistry. The vessel appointed to the service, called the " Alexandre," accordingly was sent to Marseilles on the day we suggested, for the purpose of conveying our active and intelligent agent at Marseilles to Alexandria, who undertook the entire management of the express from Suez, and actually went to Cairo, and brought down the dispatches himself to Alexandria. lie is con sequently at this moment, unfortunately for him, in qua rantine at Marseilles ; but we have no doubt he consoles himself for his present state of restraint, by the conside ration that, notwithstanding all the sneers of the Times, the Herald has succeeded in an experiment of a magni tude never before undertaken by any journal. As for the insulting observation of the Times towards M. Guizot, all we can say is, that if the Paris correspondent of that respectable journal did actually apply to be allowed to participate in the result of this experiment, we are quite certain that M. Guizot could never have stated, as the Times asserts," that he was determined to exclude not only the Times, but every other journal which had ventured to applaud Mr. Waghorn, from any participation in _ in result of this experiment ;" and for this simpleson viz., that our express was arranged so hastil y , that we be able had no means of ascertaining whether we shou l d to procure even one spare copy o f the Bombay Tinges for the use of the French Gove rnment ; and our corre spondent in Paris actually stated as much to M. G u i zot; so that we really do not u nderstand how his Excellency could promise to give an y _ information to th e Ti mes or to any other journa l, not knowing wheth er h e wou ld b e able to obtain ally intell igence himself. It so happened that we were able to procure an extra copy of the Bom bay Times, which was left in due course for the use of t h e French Government ; but our agent at Suez had great difficulty in obtaining it, and it certainly would have been extremely unfair, after all our exertion and ex pense, to have given that copy of the paper to the Times. It is really with great reluctance that we feel ourselves compelled to publish all these particulars; but after the gross insult offered to the French Government, and to M. Guizot in particular, we feel it a duty we owe to ourselves to make known to the public the exact facts of the case.
