FRANCE. The Mon:Lur gives, in an Extraordinary Supple ment, the minutes of the proceedings of the Senate of the 4th, 6th, and 7th of November, the senatus eon sultum presented on Sunday at St. Cloud, with the decrees convoking the people and the Senate. The Message cf the Prince President is the same as that which has already been publi:,hed. ,The speech of Prince Jerome is in some respects an echo of the Message, yet the following portion is re markable : " That which the French people did in 1804 it does again in 1852, thus showing how constant it is in grati tude and just in judgment. How can we fail t , ) rrCorn the finger of Providence, which, in our worst days, has not ceased to watch over France, in this phenomenon of Events almost identical reproducing themselves at 50 years' distarcw? Popular instinct, which acclaimed Na poleon 1., reveals itself anew to-day in acclaiming isTapo loon 111., the Prince who for four years has governed France with so much wisdom and ability. The following are the names of the ten who signed the proposition for a modification of the constitution: --MM. Mesnard, Troplong, General Baraguay, d'ililliers, Cardinal Du Pont, General d'Hautpoul, Baron Lacrosse, Marshal Vaillant, General St. Jean d'Angely, Count Simeon, and General d'Ornaoo. At the sitting of the 6th the report was read. It begins by recalling the resolutions and addresses for the Empire. It then reminds the Senate of the services performed by the Prince. "To him (says the report) is attached the vast future of industry and pacific civilization. This future ought not to be abandoned to the hazards of events or the surprises of factions. Wherefore it is France that demands the Monarchy of the Emperor, which means order in the revolution and rule in the democracy." The re port then goes on to show that the Republic had never, and could never, take root in France, owing to the attachment of the people to Monarchical ideas. Other Monarchical regimes had, however, placed the Throne too far from the people, while the Republic, notwithstanding its boasted popular origin, entrenches itself against the people. But the Empire was more truly democratic than the Republic, and had been the form of Govern ment most ardently sustained and most deeply regretted by the people. On the one side, it was the only Government which acted on the old principle that the people bad a right to choose their king, while on the other it never had had any quarrel with the nation, for its fall in 1814 was not caused by a rising of the people against its government, but was owing to the hazards of an unequal war; and the people had never ceased to see in the Empire its own emanation and work. The report then goes into an historical disquisition on the subject of Monarchy and the Re public, for the purpose of showing that the latter form had never taken root in grand states, but only iu small Communities, the example of the United States not serving to upset the rule, on account of the peculiari ties of its position. France, nevertheless, idolizes equality, such as the empire secures for the country— admits without jealousy those providential greatnesses legitimized by reasons of state, beneath which all becomes level. The report next proceeds to attack Popular assemblies, in which personal responsibility ecomes lost in the multitude, while the Monarchy is, on the other hand, loaded with a personal respon sibility from which it cannot escape. After the preface, the report enters on the senatus consultum. In conformity with the substance of the report (of which it is unnecessary to ent(-r upon a further detail), the following senatus conrultum was then read and adopted : " Art. 1. The Imperial dignity is re-established. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte is Emperor under the name of Napoleon 111. `• Art. 2. The Imperial dignity is hereditary in the direct and legitimate descendants of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, from male to male, by order of primogeniture to the perpetual exclusion of females and their de saendants. " Art. 3. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, if he has no male child, may adopt the legitimate children and descendants in the male lice of the brothers of the Em peror Napoleon I. The forms of adoption aro regulated bY a senatus consultum. If after this adoption, male children should be born to Louis Napoleon, his adoptive children cannot be called on to succeed him until after his legitimate descendants. The adoption is interdicted to the successors of Louis Napoleon end to their de scendants. _ _ Art. 4. Louis Napoleon regulates by an organic de cree, addressed to the Senate, and deposited in his archives the order of succession to the throne in the Bonaparte family, in case he should leave no direct, or adoptive heir. " Art. 5. In default of a legitimate or adoptive heir of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, and of the successors in a Collateral line which shall derive their right in theabove Mentioned organic decree, a senatus consultum, proposed to the Senate by the Ministers formed into a Council of Government, united to the president of the Senate, of the Legislative Body, and of the Council of State, and submitted to the acceptance of the people, names the mperor, and regulates in his family the hereditary order from male to male, to the perpetual exclusion of females and their descendants. Until the moment when the election of the new Emperor is consummated, the affairs of State are governed by the Ministers in office, who shall form themselves into a Council of Govern ment, and deliberate by a majority of votes. , " Art. 6. The members of the family of Louis Napo loon Bonaparte called eventually to the heredacy, and their descendants of both sexes, form part of the ha l:Trial family. A senates consult= regulates their po sition. They cannot marry without the authorization of the Emperor. Their marriage without such autho !lsation entails privation of all hereditary right, both for him who contracts it as for its descendants. " Art. 7. The constitution of 15th January, 1852, is Maintained in all its provisions, which are not contrary to the present senates consultum, there cannot be any Modification made in it except in the forms and by the keens therein prescribed. " Art. 8. The following proposition shall be presented to the acceptance of the French people in the forms d etermined by the decrees of the 2d and 4th December, 1 851:— , The people wish for th e r e - es t a bli s h men t o f the Imperial dignity in the person of Louis Napoleon Bona parte with heredacy in his direct descendants, either ;egnimate or adoptive, and gives him the right to regu 'te the order of succession to the throne in the Bona- Parte family as provided for by the senatus consultum of November, 1852.' " Mesnard, First Vice-President of the Senate, °n presenting the above senatus consultum to the rrince President, addressed him as follows : "Monseigneur,—When a great country like France Makes its voice heard, the first duty of the political body to which she addresses herself is to listen and to reply. Such were the ideas of your Highness in calling for the iaiedits Lions of the Senate on this vast movement of pub lic opinion which bas manifested itself with so much ensemble and energy. The Senate has understood that this striking manifestation is justified at the same time b 7 the immense services which you have rendered by the Lame which you bear, and by the guarantees which are given to the future by the greatness of your character ;ad the wisdom and firmness of your mind. It has un derstood that after so many revolutions France feels the !ant of putting her destinies under the shelter of a Powerful and national Government, which, only holding the past by the souvenirs of her glory and the legiti- Z aeY of her origin, now again finds in popular sanction the elem en t s o f i ts force and of its duration. The Senate glories, Monseigneur, in being the faithful interpreters of t t , 0 wishes and sentiments of the country in placing in Sour hands the senatus consultum which calls you to the E mpire." The Prince replied " Messieurs the Senators,—l thank th e S e nat e for t he eagerness with which it has responded to the wishes (4 the country, in deliberating on tho re establishment of Empire, and in drawing up the senates consultum : hen is to bo submitted to the acceptance of t h y, pe o p le . vhe forty-eight years since, in this same palace, in thi ß SI;mo room, and under analogous circumstances, the '''ate came to offer the crown to the chief of my family, the Emperor rep!ied by go t . h . eso memorable words ty spirit will.no longer be with my posterity from e day when it shall cease to merit th e l o ve and the tos °4 ficlence of this great nation'—what now most affects c'Y hea r t i s t h e th oug ht that the spirit of the Emperor 4 'With me—that his ideas guide me—that his shade p rot ects mo—since by a solemn proceedint , you come the name of the French people to prove to:me that I 1 ,,,"" merited the confidence of the country n ece ssary for me to tell you that my co pre ristlatnits not gra ndeur will be to labour with you to promote the o)titudeur and prosperity of France." fjtenewed cries of " Vive l'Empereur" here burst t f ,"°.

It was rumoured in political circles the the Minis ters had adjourned the meeting of the Cortes to the 20th of December, in order to follow the coure of events in France until that period. The Minister of the Interior, it is said, is about to present a plan to the Council of State for the sale of the Royal salt-works. According to official returns published in the Madrid Gazette, the deposits lodged in the general deposit bank amount to 16,579,149 mats in cash, and 26,018,019 reels in securities. A letter from Cadiz announces that the frigate Perla is to replace the Colon in the squadron of evo luti An. The four war steamers now building in Eng land are shortly expected at Cadiz, whence they are to proceed forthwith to Havannah to reinforce the garrison there. MADRID BOURSE, Nov. 3.—Three per Cents, 741 paper; Exchange on London, 50 40 paper. ITALY. A letter from Turin of the 4th inst. announces that the Count and Countess Agenor Gasparin had a rrived there from Florence. The Earl and Countess Minto had left Turin for Genoa. The Cavour Ministry is definitively constituted. This result is regarded as a triumph for the Liberal party. Accounts from Florence of the Ist inst. state that an ex-municipal guard, named Pirro Binidi Monza man°, bad been arrested on suspicion of being the man who made the attempt to murder the Prime Minister Baldasseroni. A letter from Ancona of the 17th ult. states that nine political prisoners, who formed part of the secret tribunal established in that town in the year 1848, had been shot on the 25th. They died with great courage. REVIVAL OF CONVOCATION. Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the rectors, vicars, and incumbents of the City and Archdeanonry of Lon don, all of whom are ex officio Fellows of Sion College was held in the large hall of that institution, in ac cordance with the following requisition : " To the Rev. the President of Zion. College. _ . " Rev. and dear Sir e —We, the undersigned Fellows of Zion College, believing that the revival of the active powers of Convocation is, under present circumstances, inexpedient, request that you will have the goodness to call a meeting of the Fellows, to consider the measures which ought to be adopted by them in reference to that subject." The Rev. R. REDDOCII, M.A.. the president of Zion College, occupied the chair. A long and warm discussion having taken place re specting the legality of the meeting, which was impugned because some of the Fellows had not been summoned to attend, The Rev. Dr. M'CAur e rector of St. Magnus the Martyr, and representative of the clergy of the arch deaconry of London in Convocation, addressed the meeting et great length in deprecation of the revival. The rev. doctor concluded by moving the following re solution:—" That a report having been widely circulated that a majority of the clergy of the Church of England and Ireland are desirous that the Convocation now as sembled should be allowed to proceed to business, the president and fellows of Sion College beg to be permitted to state that they do not participate in ihat feeling, nor believe that under present circumstances such. a course would be (ixp,diPnt. ' The Rev. W. JOHNSON, s.D., rector of St. Clement, Eastcheap, seconded the motion. The Rev. J. J. TOOGOOD, rector of St. Andrew's Hol born, moved as an amendment that the meeting should be ad j eurned sine die. The Rev. W. SCOTT, incumbent of Christ Church, Roston, seconded the amendment. He believed there was an obscurity in the mild form of the requisition, which appeared merely to protest against the revival of convocation at the present time, but which went directly against synodal action under any circumstances--in fact, against that most sacred synod of all which yeas sum moned by the apostles at Jerusalem. (Cheers, and cries of " No, no.") The Rev. W. GOODE, rector of Allhallows, 'Thames street, expressed his approbation of the motion :proposed by Dr. MiCaul. The Rev. Dr. WORTHINGTON, incumbent of Trinity Church, Gray's-inn-road, and the Rev. THOS. DARLING, having spoken in favour of the revival of convometion, The CHAIRMAN put the amendment to the meeting, and it was lost. Th© resolution proposed by Dr. M'Caul was then agreed to. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro ceedings. THE ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE. The usual half-yearly public examination, of the officers and gentlemen cadets studying at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, took place on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the 4th, sth, and 6th inst., on which o2casion the institution was honoured With the presence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Ca a abridge.

THE :SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 185 2. rtiOs itton SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE SEARCH FOR SIR JOHN FRANKLIN. SPORTING NOTES.—Ne. CCCXIIV. Last evening the opening meeting of the session of 1852 3 o: the Royal Geerraphical Society took place in th e theatre of the Royal - Institution, Albemarle-street — Sir R. Murchison, the president, in the chair. The number of new members were elected, and the eninntee of the last meeting confirmed, after which The PRESIDENT said—Gentlemen, in opening the first meeting of thi s cess i on I must b e allowed to con gratulate you on the prosperous condition of this society. We enter upon this manor!, gentlemen, with renewed hope of obtaining intelligence of the missing Arctic ex pedition, of our gallant countryman, Sir J. Franklin, and his associates. (Hear, hear.) As geographers, we never doubted what has recently transpired; for I only , expressed your sentiments when I dwelt in my last ad dress on the belief we entertained that the resolute cha racter of Franklin must have induced him to sail boldly northwards through Wellington Channel, and that the energetic and skilful officer who was last sent in search of him would as certainly follow him in the track. Pro videntially, Wellington Channel has this year been found open, and Sir Edw. Belcher has. I trust, successfully passed through it ; and if so, our bold navigators may be on the most hopeful of all the paths yet explored for the discovery of our missing friends. (Hear.) May Admiral Sir John Franklin still be met with, so that, returning to us, he may find that his Sovereign has con ferred on him a new title in his absence. (Hear.) But passing from the aspirations of old friends and geogra phers, I now call your attention to the memoirs to be read this evening. The first of these is by that intrepid Arctic seaman, Kennedy—(Hear, hear)—who during the last two years has commanded the Prince Albert— a ship fitted out, to the honour of Lady Franklin, entirely at her own cost. Mr. Kennedy, who is present, will point out to you, on an enlarged map, prepared by Mr. Arrowsmith, the coasts ho has traversed and the researches he accomplished under great difficulties, aided in no small degree by a noble young French offi cer, Lieut. Bellot, who won golden opinions from every one of his associates. Mr. Kennedy will further relate to you how, when ho left Franklin's last known station, at Beechy Island, the squadron under Belcher was wending its way just where we prayed it might steer; and, when I tell you that we have with us this evening the courageous and experienced Arctic voyager Penny, whose name is justly connected with the most northern lands yet discovered in that longitude, you cannot doubt that we have in him a person thoroughly qualified to discuss the whole subject of Arctic endeavours, now that the power of steam and the use of the screw have elicited hopes which in olden times might have been considered visionary. In alluding to the efforts which have been made by individuals in this -humane cause, I need scarcely remind you of the search after Franklin which was executed through the munificence of a single citizen of the United States, Mr. Grinnell, who, in consequence, was elected by your acclamation an honorary member of this society; nor of tho able manner in which Cap tain De Haven, of the American navy, carried out the project and was amongst the foremost in discovering new land. On our own part we endeavoured to send out (though here again Lady Franklin was the great contributor) the little Isabel screw-steamer, and though circumstances, over which the geographers had no control, prevented this vessel from proceeding to Behring's Straits, as we wished, the subscribers will be pleased to learn that Captain Ingefiold, R.N., who so generously came forward in the hour of need, has pushed on for Smith's Sound, at the north end of Baffin's Bay, to endeavour to determine whether there may not there exist a passage into the Polar Ocean. Thirdly, you will have accounts from . Captain Macguire, who went out, you will recollect, to assume the command of the Plover store-ship, on the north-west coast of America; and you will learn from the letters of that officer how deeply he deplores (together with his predecessor, Cap tain Kellett, R.N., and all geographers) that no screw steamers should yet have been dispatched to Behring's Straits, and how he is persuaded that without the use of such a vessel even the Mover and her provisions will prove useless, because they aro immovable. Lastly, Mr. Peterman will communicate some important data respecting former Arctic voyages of the Dutch and English, that led to those whale fisheries which for a long time have proved a source of great profit to this nation, and were the nurseries of the hardiest seamen. lie is anxious to convince you and the public that if the plan of Arctic research, which he suggested last year, by passing through tho Spitzbergen Sea, be adopted, our merchants may then have a vast new source of weelth laid open to them, by reaching waters in which th e l argest proport i on of whales have of late years found themselves free from the assaults of men. But whatever may be the ultimate com mercial results of an endeavour to reach the Polar Seas in steam vessels, directed through,the only broad open channel leading to them (or that between Spitzbergen and Nova Zambia), we. as geographers, are bound to encourage such researches, and especially because in ad dition to their promotion of national uses, they must present us with a greater number of chances of ascer taining tho fate of our missing countrymen. (Hear, hear.) And if it should please our rulers to employ the two little Arctic vessels, the Lady Franklin and the Sophia, now lying useless at home, and aiding them with steam power, should confide them to a captain of whaling vessels, like Penny, who can appeal to a life of long and approved services in the northern seas— (Hear, hear)—then, indeed, we may reasonably hope for an issue which, if not successful in rescuing the expedition, will prove of great national value, and place us, perchance, on a level with our kinsmen of the United States, who, to their great credit, have won for themselves in the last few years a very lucrative trade amid the ices of the north, by penetrating into, and even through, Behring's Straits. In short, we learn from the reports of their government, that in the re -1 cent years alluded to, more American seamen wore engaged intthat small district of ocean than were employed in the whole navy at any ono time, and that the largo amount of eight million dollars had been fished up by those hardy mariners out of water-vessels to which but very few British merchants have ever ventured. (Hear.) Let it therefore be ascertained if this Polar basin can be reached rapidly by us through the Spitz bergen sea, a project which is I know, warmly approved by tome of our members, including naval officers, who have long been connected with Arctic discovery. (Applause.) Dr. HODGKIN then read Captain Kennedy's paper, which described the progress of the expedition of 1851 by Prince Regent's Inlet and those parts south-west of Cape Walker which Sir John Franklin's instructions directed him to explore. The expedition proceeded from Cape Bud across Victoria Strait, westward, until it reached 200 degrees west longitude, and, rounding Cape Walker, examined the land for several miles, but without finding any traces of Sir John Franklin's party; the conclusion Captain Kennedy arrived at being, that the missing expedition could not have gone by Cape Walker, bat must have taken the northern route. The important geographical results of this service was the discovery of a passage from Regent Inlet to Victoria Channel, thus proving the existence of a north-west passage. The paper added that in the neighbourhood of Victoria Straits there were animals found in great variety and abundance. Thanks having been accorded to Captain Kennedy for his paper, abstracts were read from letters received from Commander Inglefield, of the screw discovery ves sel, Isabel, dated July 9, 1852, lat. 59 deg. 11 N., long. 16 deg. 57 W., addressed to Admiral Beaufort. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. A very curious specimen of steeple-chasing, as it does exist at the present time, came off yesterday at Edge ware. In the morning, in town it was generally under stood that the race was " squared" for Voyager, and, from thu quantity of money laid against the Screw, who was much fancied by the too often gulled public, it was very evident this letter animal world not wia the race. The race itself did not, however, come off in exact ac cordance with the neatly-contrived plars that had been formed during the two previous days, for Voyager, it is as clear as daylight, could nut have won upon his merits, being disposed of before half the distance was travelled o'er. About what the Screw could have done, I say nothing. Simple Peter, a good-looking horso of Mr. Higgins', won the race cleverly. This animal will do something worth recording in the tiwe to come. The Scramble Steeple-chase was likewise a bungle, the certain winner being defeated very cleverly in the final heat. FUNERAL Or THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. The Liverpool Autumn Handicap Steeple-chase run to-morrow, will, not improbably, be contested by three fourths of i►s small acceptance, The merits of the com petitors are already well known to the public; therefore I need not enter into a diEvisition upon them, but at once jump to a conclusion by stating, that in VICTRESS and THE DRAG, I expect to see the first and second; Carrig being a likely occupant of the third place. The Aintree Stakes (over the mile course) has a large entry, and the field, I expect, will be none of the smal lest. The horses that look most like business are Forester and Truth, at 7st. 131 b. each; Vievr Halloo and the Little Fawn, at Gat. 121 b. each; The Reaper, at Gst. 10Ib.; and Callot, at sst. 121 b.

Mr. PETERMAN next read a communication, in which he stated his opinion that the missing expedition, if found at all, would be met with on the Asiatic side of the polar regions, and dwelt upon the field these regions would open up to the whale fishery. Captain PENNY also expressed an opinion that Sir John Franklin's expedition must be approaching the Asiatic shores, and that any search. to be made for it should proceed by Behring Strait and Nova Zambia. After passing the strait, the expedition would enter the Arctic Ocean, where a large sea existed, and where, if commenced sufficiently early in the season, there would be four months for active operations. Within that pe riod, and with the assistance of steam power, the pole itself might almost be traversed. Looking at the open ing to British commerce these regions afforded, and the still higher incentives of humanity, it would bo a dis grace to this country to neglect to prosecute the search, for which duty he should be happy to offer his services. ilo mentioned, as an important fact, calculated to strengthen the hope that Sir John Franklin's expedition had not perished, that a party of twelve American sea- men had wintered in a little bay in the regions he pro posed to explore, and had during their stay there killed no less than thirteen whales, which would have been sufficient to have supported Sir John's party from the day they embarked till the present time. Captain BEECECY considered that any future expedi tion that might be sent out should go up to the westward of Spitzbergen, towards the Seven Islands, and that it should consist of screw steam-vessels. Dr. Nicholay, Dr. Truman, Mr. Sanders, and other members, having offered a few remarks, Tho CHAIRMAN closed the mee ing, and in doing so read a letter from the French Minister of Marine to Lady Franklin, in which he amply recognized the merits of the young French officer, :Lieut. Ballot, who had been sent out as part of the late expedition, and altogether refuted an impression which ho (the chairman) said had circu'ated to some extent here, that that officer had not met with those marks of distinction in his own country, which his conduct merited. THE LONDON FRIENDLY INSTITUTION. The twenty-eighth annual general meeting of members of the London Friendly Institution, was held last evening in the lecture theatre of the Literary and Scientific Institution, Al dersgate-street.

TRADE COMBINATIONS. —At a recent meeting . of the London Strong Boot and Shoe-manufacturers' Associa tion, it was agreed that non-society men should henceforth be admitted to employment on equal terms with society men. It was also determined that such abuses as forcing men to lodge in their employers' houses, supplying or tea against their will, an d nuk i ng them pay sittings, should be abolished. them with c?ffoe THE NEW HOUSE OF COMMONS. As the now Parliament will be formally inaugurated on Thursday, the 11th instant, by the delivery of the the Speech from the Throne, we consider it but right to prssent our readers with an accurate list of the recently electA representatives. This list, we may observe, has been carefully revised throughout, and perfected by the most painstaking emendations. It will be perceived that we have authenticated our own alphabetical list by the Official Returns as notified in the columns of the London Gazette. The various members will be found classified according to their known opinions, as supporters of the Government, or of the Oppo sition. During the next few days, those who have not already presented themselves in the Commons, will be duly sworn in before the Speaker; and as the real busi ness of the Session will commence in earnest on Thurs day evening, we doubt not but that the final republication of these parliamentary returns will be regarded by the great mass of our readers with satisfaction.

ADELPHI THEATRE, The Flouers of the Forest was revived last evening The seriou s cast remains in all essentials the same fib heretofore, with the exception of Starlight Bess, who was formerly played by Mrs. Fitzwilliam, but who loses none of }ler force end humour in the hands of Mrs. Keeley. Cheap John, the comic character, formerly s ustained by Mr. Wright, was played by Mr. H. Bed ford. The f arce o f A iVife for a Day. . was revived last night for the reappearance of Mr. S i lsbee. The cha racter. is that of an uncouth and even clownish Yankee, who, In spite of his rough exterior and his superabund „isms, Performs most chival rousarea of Transatlantic vulgarisms, . feats, taking upon himsalf the odium of a marriage with a very suspicious lady, merely to conceal the fact that the is secretly married to his br , P other, and under lug a host of disagreeables and perils out of pure fra ternal affection. Mr. Silsbee, in the part of thi s gallant i unwashed, is precisely the same as n the Yanke e Plough boy; but, if there is not variety is his humour, there is at any rate plenty of unction, and his stories and his chuckles elicited repeated roars. The little part of the French danseuse, the lady about whom all the trouble Mrs. Wigan arises, was sustained in a piquant ma n ner by STRAND THEATRE. Mr. Mambolton, under whose management this pretty little theatre has been doing a prosperous business with on admirable " sable " company, took his benefit last evening, when a new original sketch, by Mr. J. Rogers, was successfully produced, entitled Paul, or the Fortunate Slave. Pell, Hooley, Price and Co. continuo their pe culiar feats with great applause nightly, and certainly few places of amusement in the metropolis are better worth visiting than the Strard Theatre as at present conducted. Mr. Dumbolton's managerial exertions were deservedly appreciated by a bumper house.
