Among the numerous disappointments to which Lady FRANKLIN has been subjected, perhaps the bitterest of all was the recent abandonment of Lieu • tenter); PIN'S Expedition Fortunately there is some slight consolation in store for that noble-heerted woman through the medium of the almost simulta neous announcement of the heroic project of Captain DONALD BEATOON. Before alluding more particu. larly to the scheme sketched out for himself by the last-mentioned adventurous officer, it will be but reasonable to comment, however briefly, upon the circumstances which have led to the rejection of the plan suggested by Lieutenant Pim. That rejec tion, it must be observed at once, is solely attri butable to obstacles thrown in the way of his expedition by the authorities of the Russian Govern ment. Ostensibly the objections raised at St. Peters burgh against the carrying out cf the proposed un dertaking have been advanced exclusively on the very honourable plea of humanity. According to the opinions of the men in office under the Emperor Nscuooas, it would be little less than insanity to ad venture upon the journey projected by Lieutenant Pim for a variety of reasons enumerated by them in an elaborately written statement. A copy of this official report, forwarded to Sir RODERICK MUR CHISON by the Russian Ambassador, was last evening read before the Royal Geographical Society, in testimony that the Government at St. Petersburgh maintained the scheme to be dangerous as well as extravagant. It is asserted among other things that the route traced out by the originator of this very daring expedition is one of such astonishing pro longation, stretching across the immense wildernesses of Northern Siberia, that it would be preposterous to dream for an instant of traversing it in safety from end to end, however comprehensive the precautionary measures taken. "It must not be forgotten," says the report transmitted to the President of the Geographi ca l Soc i ety b y B aron Bituriseow, " that, in addition to the enormous distances to be traversed, vast deserts must be also passed over, which, buried tinder eternal snows, offer neither means of transport, nor provisions." Beyond this, it is energetically put forward by the minions of the AUTOCRAT, that the deserts here spoken of are, in reality, " unexplored regions, in which tribes of savage people are scattered at wide intervals." Let the admission which follows this confession b e par ticularly marked. Moreover, the admission that over these savage people "the R uss i an power ex ercises the slightest influence," th e re port adding that their warlike character, barbarous customs, an d hatred of strangers, are such that the Imperial Go vernment would find it impracticable to guarantee th e personal security of Lieutenant Fix and his com panions in the expedition. As to the arguments which follow b y way of removing that gallant officer out of his favourite 'project—a project to which h e bad devoted himself heart and soul—they are, to our thinking, altogether too absurd and frivolous in their nature to bear a single instant's consideration. Be cause Admiral WRANGEL, in the journey undertaken by him some years since, deemed it advisable to encumber himself with fifty sledges and six hundred. dogs, it ii ridiculously reasoned that Lieutenant Pim would be obliged to take not only a larger number of sledges, but (they are marvellously precise in their adverse calcu lations !) from 1,200 to 1,500 dogs —thereby, con tinues the statement, ruining the unhappy natives by depriving them of animals essential for tl-emselves, even supposing it to be possible to collect together so large a number of these dogs from among the inha bitants. Now the roam of All this its obvious enough. LON The mere circumstance of a passage across Siberia having been refused to an Englishman by the Russian AUTOCRAT h significant. More particularly is the fact of that refusal significant when it is borne in mind that the Englishman so refused is one of our naval lieutenants. Does it not suggest itself to our more reflective readers, that there is in all this an anxiety on the part of the Russian Government, to hide from the eyes of a traveller so ob servant, bold, and large-hearted, " the se crets," not "of the prison house," but of the prison land, secrets that might, if known, be somewhat inconvenient ? Such, at least, will be the surmise of the majority of those who hear of the obstacles thrown in the way of Lieutenant Pim by the Emperor of all the RUSSIAS, on the plea, for sooth, of humanity ! So convinced are we that reasons of state policy, like those already intimated, are the actuating causes of the recent course pursued in this matter by the Russian Government, that we •look forward with the most eager anxiety to the expression of his own views upon the subject by Lieutenant Plat. Not but what we are satisfied at the same time that the minions of the Czax have proved themselves suffi ciently astute to induce them to overload that gallant officer with their insidious courtesies, to the end that, he might be blinded to the real meaning of the Government. Still, through all those specious attentions, we are sanguine that Lieutenant Pim may have detected the interior purpose of the AUTOCRAT, and so soon as he has returned amongst us we trust that the English publio may be admitted to his revelations. Meanwhile Captain BEATSON has again revived the hopes of those interested in the fate of Sir JonN FRANKLIN, by the noble project explained by him in a letter addressed to the secretary of the Royal Geographical Society, and which was read before Sir RODERICK MURCHISON only yesterday. Whatever may be the course pursued by Lieut. PIN after his recent disappointment, Captain BEATSON is manifestly pre pared to adventure upon another such as, we may reasonably anticipate, may before many months have elapsed lead to the discovery of the whereabouts of the missing navigators. Aided only by a small screw steamer of 200 horse power, manned by merely 15 sailors, the gallant originator of this new and very promising expedition, proposes to leave England by the close of next month, pro ceeding at once to the Sandwich Islands, and thence pushing onward into the meridian of Bebring Straits' By exploring those regions, it is hoped by him to find traces of Sir JOHN FRANKLIN and his companions, who are believed, according to the most recent con jectures, to be somewhere north of those Straits, and certainly not far to the eastward. To this, the latest adventurer in the cause of humanity, the people of England, as they have done in regard to all his predecessors, ,will wish well in the conduct of his expedition. It is with deep regret that we find the dispute between the working engineers and their employers assuming a still more serious aspect. Each side re mains firmly in its original position, and neither will make the slightest concession to the other. The masters think the demands of the operatives so un reasonable, so subversive of the best interests of all parties concerned, that they are not satisfied at the continuance of a hollow truce. They wish that the question shall be :forthwith decided, and accordingly insist upon the uncondi tional withdrawal of the demands put for ward through the Executive Council of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers—on the other hand, the men declare that they had no intention of making a strike, or adopting any other active measures to enforce their claims, but that, still being firmly con vinced of the justice and expediency thereof, they will not yield a single particle. At this stage of the proceedings many of the employers have taken the initiative, and served notices of dismissal, not only on all the men connected with the society, but even on their innocent companions. Thirty-six firms, in fact, have already closed their works. Thousands of ingenious operatives, skilful men, who could earn handsome wages and support their families comfortably, are now walking the streets in idleness, unprofitably consuming the funds that had been accumulated for other and very different purposes. The employers, too, who have abandoned some contracts, refused to enter into others, and are not only letting their concerns remain unproductive, but also compelled to support their apprentices without receiving any adequate return, are likewise heavy pecuniary sufferers. Both parties have equal cause to deplore the present untoward state of affairs, but neither will abate one jot of their pretensions, and the question now resolves it self into this, which will exhibit the greater degree of passive endurance so as to obtain the victory—a victory that will indeed be dearly purchased—when the conqueror may exclaim with PIRRHUS, " Another such and I am ruined." The community at large are also considerably in terested in the result. We cannot permit one of our most important branches of industry to be driven from our shores—to abandon the proud pre tanibence which we have hitherto occupit-d, in order that wrongheaded men may have the pleasure of saying to others equally perverse, " You see, we have conquered !" The matter is now not merely one between employers and workmen, it has assumed a national importance, and every dis interested and patriotic man should use his utmost exertions to avert the evils that must attend the pro longation of the internecine warfare. At this moment both parties are deceived—they undervalue the resources of their opponents, and unduly magnify their own. The men think that they can carry out the co-operative principle—that with a capital of a few thousands they can compete with men in actual possession of as many hundreds as they have pounds. On the other side, the employers think that they can go on with their apprentices and unskilled labourers. They can readily detect the fallacies in the arguments of the other side, but are insensible of the sophisms put forward on their own behalf. They can clearly perceive " the motes in their brother's eyes, while they are indifferent to the beams in their own." Let them, then, exhibit some portion of sound common sense in the present exigency. Let them take the opinions of persons in whom they can confide, and who are unbiassed on the present occasion. Extremes on every side should be avoided. The operatives should think for themselves and speak for themselves ; they should not be led away against their own better judg. went by the arguments, however specious, that may be directed to their passions rather than to their reason ; while, on the other aide, the employers should be influenced by reason, and not endeavour to crush their opponents because they fancy that they have the power to do so. Extremes on either side should be repudiated. Vce victis should not be the cry of either party ; but the " great fact" should be recognised that their interests are, and ever must be, " one and indivisible." MORE DISTINGUISHED REFUGEES IN LONDON.—M. Thiers arrived in London yesterday morning by the Gene ral Steam Navigation Company's ship Soho. We learn also that Generals Changarnier and Lamoricitl:re have also ar rived in town. _ _ The accounts of the state of trade in the provinces during the past week continue to indicate a healthy condition of affairs in almost all quarters. At Manchester the foreign de mand has been good, and stocks being still kept down the tendency of prices is towards an advance. F rom N o tti ng ham the reports show no diminution of the prosperous state of the hosiery manufactures, and at the same tim e th ere h ave b ee n indications of a considerable revival in the lace business. At Birmingham there has been no alteration to call for remark, and this is also the case as regards the woollen markets. In the Irish linen trade an active demand has again manifested SIR. JAMES GRAHAM.—Sit James Graham, Bart., M.P., left Netherby Hall for London, by express train, on Tuesday. It is understood that he was sent for by Lord John Russell to lend him a helping baud. The gentleman who came for him was a stranger, but apparently a man of rank, as he travelled in the same carriage with Sir James, and they occupied the whole of it, a board being attached to the door with the notice that the moving council chamber was " engaged," and not to be intruded upon by ordinary rnortals.—Newcastle Journal. THE CASE OF AIRS. CUMMING.—The investiga tion under the Commission of Lunacy issued against Mrs. Cumming still continues. On Saturday her daughter, Mrs. Ince, oae of the promoters of the superseded commission of 1846, and also of the present . proceedings, was examined, as was Mr. Hooper, Mrs. Cumming's son-in-law. It was state l that Mr. Ince, the other son-in-law, was too ill to attend. Yesterday was occupied in the examination of medical eYi deuce in ouppert of the cenarauim, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur contains the following important de cree for the dissolution and re-organization of the N a tional Guards throughout France : "FRENCH REPUBLIC. " IN TILE NAME 01 THE FRENCH PEOPLE. " Louis Napoleon, President of the Republic, consider ing that order is the sole source of employment, and that it cannot be established except in proportion to the force and authority of the Government:— " Considering that the National Guard ought to be a guarantee, not against the Government, but against dis order and insurrection—. "Considering, that the principles applied to the or ganization of the National Guard after our different re volutions, by arming every man without distinction, have been only a preparation for civil war, and that a composition of the National Guard, made with discern ment, ensures public order and the safety of the country— " Considering that in the country districts in particu lar, it is important to prevent any new attempt at dic order and pillage; that a recent experience has proved, that a single company of well-disposed citizene, armed for the defence of their homes, is sufficient to contain within bounds, or put to flight, bands of evil-doers— " On the report of the Minister of the Interior, de crees as follows — The National Guards are dissolved throughout the whole extent of the Republic, and are re-organized on the following bases, in those localities where their co-opera tion m ay be judged necessary for the defence of public order. In the department of the Seine, the general-in chief is charged with this re-organization, which is to take place by battalions. "Art. 1.

VIETR&, colonel, head of the staff of the National Guard of the same department. These decrees place the me National Guard entirely under the cont ro l o f t h e xecutive instead of under the control of the municipal authorities, and gives to the Executive the nomination of the officers who have hitherto been elected by the members of the National Guard thewesiye i , Thi s is precisely the change in the organization of the National Guard which CHARLES X., acting under the inspiration of the parti-pretre, endeavoured to accomplish. The Pays says :—" We are informed that a second detachment, consisting of 614 persons, arrested after the events of the 2d December, left Paris yesterday morning for Brest, where a vessel is waiting to con vey them to Cayenne. We are assured that amongst the number is M. XAVIER DURRIEU, formerly prin cipal editor of the journal the Revolution, and M. LACHAMBEAUDIE, author of Fables Populaires.' It is said that M. DE CORMENIN (Timon) has de clared against a Parliamentary form of government for France, as there is too much frivolity and vio lence in the French character to render a Parlia mentary Government serious : it is, he says, only fitted for England or Belgium. M. DR CASABLANCA, the son of the ex-Minister, has been sent on a mission to Turin, on the subject of the refugees. M. DE SALLANDROUZE-LAMORNAIX has just arrived in Brussels, charged by the PRESIDENT of the Re public to present three beautiful vases of Sevres china to the KING of the BELGIANS. The Indipendance of Brussels has the following account of the release of the political prisoners at : On Thursday morning the six prisoners, General Changarnier, General Lamoric'a ro, General Bedeau, General Le Flo, Colonel Charras, and M. Base were told that the doors of the fortress of Ham were about to be opened to them, but on the coudi tiou that they weind go to England. Some of them immediately protested against the designation of a country to which they were to go. It appears, however, that the orders were not so rigorous that they could not bo relaxed. General Lo FlO was alone taken, on Thursday, by two police agents, not only to Calais, but even to Dover. The other prisoners ob• tained permission to go to one of the states of the conti nent. All wished to come to Belgium. But the desire was not acceded to; and only two, General Changer- Mer and Colonel Charras were allowed to come here. M. Baze and General de Lamorioilre had to promise to go, the former to Aix-la-Chapelle, the second to Cologne. On Thursday, then, General Changarnier, Col. Charras, and M. Baze, each escorted by two police agents in plain clothes, were taken to the railway. There the agents took their places in a train about to leave. They ar rived in the morning of the 9th at the frontier, and the agents accompanied them to Brussels. M. Base only remained in our town until the time of departure of the railway train for Germany. He took his place in the train, escorted by two police agents, who accompanied him to Aix-la-Chapelle. M. Changarnier and M. Charras remained at Brussels up to Friday morning, when the former went to Liege and the latter to Louvain. As to General de Lainoriciire, he only left Ham by a second train on Thursday. He was accompanied to Brussels by two police agents, who took up their quar ters in the same hotel. He left for Cologne on Friday morning. General Bedeau, the last of the prisoners of Ham, arrived on Friday morning by the goods train. He was accompanied, it is said, by a domestic and a lady. We have not heard that lie was attended by any police agent. To complete this account we must add that none or the prisoners of Ham, on arriving in Belgium, made auy complaint to the Belgian Government." The Emancipation says that . General BEDEAU pro ceeded to MOW, where he intends to remain some days. Tne same journal says that some discussion arose at Valenciennes between the authorities of that town and the police agents, who had charge of Ge neral CHANGARNIEIt, his papers not being ex rig*. The General, it adds, maintained the greatest calm, and said, "It does not belong to me to take part in any discussion between those who dispute the custody of my person." The Bourse was agitated with accounts of warlike preparations in England, and the consequence was a considerable reduction in the price of public securities. The Five per Cents. opened at 104 f. 25c., and closed at 103 f. 25c. for the end of the month. The Three per Cents. closed at 68f. 50c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,070 f.; Rouen, 660 f.; Havre, 245 f.; Great Northern, 550 f,.; Avignon, 225 f.; VierzDn, 500 f.; Basle, 1951.; Bordeaux, 4351.; Paris and Strasburg, 455 f.; Tours and Nantes, 275 f.; Amiens to Boulogne, 290 f.

It was attended by the Duke and Duchess DB MONTPENSIER, the Ministers, the corps diploma tique, and the civil and military authorities ; but Lord HOWDEN, the English Minister, was not pre sent. The Duke and Duchess DE MONTPENSIER had left for Toledo. The Clamor Publico states that the Progressist minority has resolved to draw up a memoir expressing its opinion on the present situation, and to propose, i❑ the event of the Cortes meeting in 1852, to im peach the Ministers for having usurped the preroga tives of the Cortes ; also to resign in case the majority should approve of the unconstitutional acts of the Cabinet. The Military Gazelle says that the pay of the first and second majors and sergeants of infantry is to be increased. MADRID 13u Mk, JAN. 7.—The Three per Cents. were done at 384 for time; the Four per Cents. at 15; the Five per Cents, at 184; the Debt without Interest at 54; and the Coupons at 9. GERMAN Y. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hesse Darms tadt has promulgated the treaty recently concluded between it and several other German state•, by which they bind themselves not to receive any persons ex pelled from another state. A letter from Mannheim, of the Bth, says that very numerous furlongs have bee❑ granted to the soldiers of infantry regiments in Baden, in some battalions to almost half the force. A letter from Stuttgart of the 9th states that the Commission of the Public Debt assembled on that day, to arrange for a loan with Messrs. ROTHSCHILD. The Swabian Mercury asserts that Messrs. RoTfls- CHILD have taken the loan at par, at least for the suns required for the railways in the ensuing summer and spring. Reports have been recently current at Berlin that changes of Ministry are likely to take place. The Cologne Gazette says on the subject that the Cwx has written to the KING, expressing his satisfaction at the recent pulicy of Prussia, and recommending him not to sacrifice M. DE MANTBUFFEL, as he has not only drawn Prussia from a very critical revolutionary situation, but is the only man capable of causing her to pass through the year 1852 without danger. The Augsburg Gazette states that an interesting document has been published relative to a projected union between the Zolverein and Austria. It con tains the propositions of the latter power. Austria submits, with the exception of some indispensable modifications, to all the regulations of the Zolverein. She proposes a common consular representation abroad, in the East by Austria, and in America by Prussia and the liens Towns. The most important proposition, however, is a new organization of the union, accordi ng to which questions shall be decided by a majority of voices of the states, and shall only in some very important cases require the ratification of Austria and of Prussia. The division of the cus toms revenue of the union will be made according to the statistical data collected at the end of 1858. ItailwAys. RKETS. Business done to-day. HailwaY=• I paid.

METROPOLITAN INTERMENTS BILL. —Yesterday a deputation from Marylebone vestry, assembled for the pur pose of waiting upon the Prime Minister at Downing-street, when the vestry-clerk said he had received a letter, signed " A. M. Russell," in which it was stated that Lord John must have forgotten the deputatio n, as he had left town, and would not return before Wednesday. Lord Dudl,y Stuart thought this very extraordinary on the part *f the Premier, who bad himself fixed the day of meeting. It was fortunate, however, that his colleague, Sir B. Hall, had not come all the way fruits Wales to join the deputation. A conversation ensued amongst the nonplussed deputation. One gentleman suggested they should wait on Lord Sey mour instead of Lord John Russell, and another thought such a neglect of deputations ominous, and that the vestry would have to send their representations to his Lordship's successor. A " Daniel then came to judgment," but unlike his prophetical namesake, he could not look into the secrets of futurity, and therefore only uttered a lamentation that he could not tell who t hat successor would be. Some of his fellows wondered at his want of penetration, and ex claimed, " Why, Palmerston, of course!" Th e with which this re mark was received having applause subsided, it was agreed, after some further observations, to await a commun ication from Lor d John Russell, and the deputation separated. The various states of Switzerland have b c ribed su s _ 295,912 f. as a loan, without interest, for the construction of electric telegraphs. The sum required is 500,C00f.
