We have received the Paris journals of yestcrdsy. The following are the terms in which the !onvo cation of the Senate for the 4th of November is an nounced in the Illoniteux:— "The striking manifestation which has just taken place throughout all France in favour of the re-estab lishment of the Empire, imposes on the Prince Presi dent of the Republic the duty to convoke the Senate. " The Senate will assemble the 4th November next. "If there result; from its deliberations a change in form of government, the senatus consult,: which will be adopted shall bo submitted to the ratification of the French people. " To give this great act all the authority which it ought to have, the Corps Legislatif will be called to cer tify the regularity of the votes, to examine the details, and to declare the result." The subjoined decree follows the above : " Louis Napoleon, President of the French Republic, considering articles 24 and 31 of the Constitution, de- creel— " Art. 1. The Senate is convoked for the 4th Novem her next. " Art. 2. Tho Minister of State is charged with the execution of the present decree. Signed " LOUIS NAPOLEON. Countersigned " ACHILLE FOULD, Minister of ateta. "Given at the Palace of St. Cloud, Oct. 19, 1852." The Journal des Debals containg the following note, regarding the liberation of Abd-el.Kader : " Abd-el-Kader surrended to General Lamoriciere on the 21st of Decemb( r, 1847. It 13 known that the Emir stipulated, as the condition of his surrender, that he should be transported with his family to Alexandria, or to St. Jean d'Acre. General Lamoriciere, then com manding the province of Oran. accepted the proposition, which was ratified by the Due d'Aumale, Governor General of Algeria. The Government of King .Lnui, Philippe received Dec. 31 the news of Abd-el-Kader's surrender, and his arrival at Toulon. The 24th of February, 1848, the Council of Ministers had not made their decision regarding Abd-el-Ksder. Too 24th of April, 1848, the Provisional Government caused Abd-el- Rader to be transferred to the Chateau of Pan, where he remained a year ; from thence he was transferred to the Chateau of Amboise, in which he remained shut up to the present day." The inference which the least observant reader will draw from this arrangement of dates and facts is, that the Republic, and Louis Philippe ' must be held answerabl e f or F rance ' s b reach of faith with Abd-el-Kader. Still it will be thought strange that the Government of Louis Philippe should not, after a lapse of nearly two months, have made up its mind on a question of elementary simplicity. The King's government was first interpellated in the Chamber of Peers, on Jan. 17, 1848, during the debate on the address, as to its intention of ratifying the treaty entered into with Abd-el-Kader, the Marquis de Boissy being the speaker. M. Guizot, in his reply, in place of declaring frankly and clearly that most undoubtedly the Government would ratify the treaty to which the Duke d'Aumale had given his approbation, declared that the Government was of opinion that it did not belong to a General-in- Chief, even were he one of the King's sons, to en gage politically, without reservation or examination, the King's Government, and that "in the present question the Government preserved and intended to Preserve, the full liberty of examination and decision." If these words meant anything, they implied the possibility of the non--ratification of the treaty. The Prince de la Moscow, in the same sitting, disapprov ing of the language thus used by the Hon. Minister of Foreign Affairs, brought forward this dilemma : ", Now, of two things, one : either you consider Abd eat Xad er as a ro b ber, as a pirate, or you look on him a a hostile general who has been conquered. In the first case, have him hanged : in the second, treat him according to the l a w o f nati ons ." G e n. abive,r, also, spoke strongly against the doctrine which _ Guizot had laid down, and in concluding his r etaarks, said :—" Th ere i s now ne i t h er f urt h er rati fication nor negotiation to make—Abd-el-Kader is in your hand s , he cannot enter into any further negotia- Ta- Gentlemen, beware of touching that precious Francis the honour of France. Remember King John, 1., and Henry IV. those first gentlemen of t heir kin g d om ! I will only add one word more—if 3; 4 11 touch th e h onour o f France, adieu to victory !" Guizot then de c l a r e d that " the Government had e ve ry confide nce th a t it was possible for it to Z conci respect for the engagement made with Abd-el ,scier, with what was due to the safety of France. t Wa s that t as k w hi c h th e G ove r n ment had proposed itself, and wh en it th o ught that it had accomplished the Ch am b er would dec id e w h et h er th e conclu ta b i l°4 come t o was we ll o r ill arrived at." The e i gnage of M. Guizot produced a most pain " effect on the public mind, so that when the ques tion came on in the Chamber of Deputies, in the debat e on the Address in that House, M. Guizot foundaii it necessary to alter his tone. The matter was all uded to on February 5, 1848, when the Marquis de )31 44a a re c h e : Jaquelein, in his remarks, observed " that e ,, ; n7 persons were struck with the difference which 1j..", te(1 between the engagements entered into by the ver T d'Aumale, and the conduct pursued by the Go vlsEB,i,atncieunetie.inl,:low does it happen," asked M. de Laro " that when an engagement of honour D u k e entered in by General Lamoriciere and the 11 d'Aumale, Governor-General of Algeria, the Government now retains Abd-el-Kader in a fort, and P aves 113 in uncertainty as to whether the word cif thrallee will be kept or not ?" M. Guizot replied 43 at ! " his answer would be the same in that Chamber P e 41 the other. He had, in the Chamber of w e ts, reserved the right of the Government to ra „,,Y or not to ratify the resolutions of its generals, and I;,e.the Duke d'Aumale like the rest; and that right dut y so reserved, the Government considered it its Dueto conciliate the engagement entered into by the tr tik6 d'Aumale with the safety of the State. It was he that the Duke had promised Abd-el-Kader that e A shoUld be taken to Alexandria or to St. Jean ' e rei such were the terms of the promise—nothing B Or e, nothing less." (Murmurs on the Left.) St. ean d'Acre, he added, was out of the question, b t, w_Alexandria belonged to Egypt, the Government . Government enter into arrangements with the Egyptian di rernMent to allow the Emir to be sent there. The e ttsaion there dropped. Now, who does not see that if the French Government had at first frankly ra tified the treaty entered into, Abd-el-Kader would tin t have been detained for nearly five years in confine tlihent ? The whole fault, the world has always d °ll g h t , lay with the hesitation of Louis Philippe's over nment in ratifyin g th e engage m en t of the Duke A. umale. There is but one leading article in the Paris jour- W s of yesterday, on the release of the Emir, but t hat one w ill be read with interest, for it is in a paper Which cannot be suspected of a desire to flatter the Pr ince Presid en t. Wh en a j ourna l lik e the SiMe express es approbation of the conduct of the Chief of t he State, it may be said that even party spirit is dis armed by it. The Sicia says : "The Act of the President of the Republic, by which he he gra n t s lib erty to the ex-Emir Abd cl-Kader, will b 0 well r ece i ve d b y F rance, which admires everything t hat has th e c h aracter of grandeur, generosity, and confi dence. The sent i ment which has inspired Louis Napoleon is the same as th at w hi c h i nspired the Duke d ' Aumale and General de Lamoriciere in the treaty of the 21st Dec., 184 7; but Governments cannot always yield to the same instincts, the same emotions ; and we can under stand that the G overnments o fuiPhilippe,P the R e p u bli c , an d o f the President himself, long hesitated befor e rat i fy i ng the promise m our young general s . L et us bop that Abd-el h. d b e y r will not be ungrateful, and that he will kn G ow ove ho w to recog nise the magnanimity of the French he will be faithful, as the official journal sa r ra,: u t n o r t sworn faith, and that he will not attempt to disturb nation in Africa. Let us hope that the presence of ° T . Arab chief in the states of the Sultan will not excite the spirit of rebellion amongst the tribes who only obey with indignation the law of the conqueror. In the words in which the President was kind enough to address to Abd-el-Kader, we remark this idea, which is so fecund and so true—that " Generosity is always the best coun sellor." For our part, we shall see with joy the chief of the Government often listen to this politic and noble c ounsellor of all Governments, It will not allow him to forgot the Frenchmen, who, in consequence of our civil discords, are still wandering in foreign countries „ far from thei r f am ili es an d t h e ir dearest affections !

A royal decree inserted in the Madrid Gazette of that day, enacts that the Under-Secretary and the chiefs of sections of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs shall form, under the Presidency of the Under-Sec retary, a consulting junta on foreign affairs. It is to examine all the questions and all the affairs which the Minister may think fit to submit to it. The Gazette publishes a return, which shows that in 1851 the imports into Spain amounted to 687,648,280 reals, being 15,654,640 morn than in 1850 ; the exports were 497,507,432 reals, being 8,940,750 more. The Gazette also states that, in the month of September, 123,727,415 reals of the old debt were converted into new stock. The Minister of War had proposed to give the Grand Cross of the Order of Charles 111. to Gene rals Lersundi, Rivero, and Boign€z, but a letter says thlt the Queen has objected to it.

The Councillor of Legation De Mayer left Cassel on the 15th for Vienna, to be present at the customs conferences as Plenipotentiary for Electoral Hesse. Baron Lenden presented on the 17th inst. to the King of Prussia his credentials as Minister Extraor dinary of the King of Wurtemburg. The Austrian Government has invited, by a circu lar dispatch, all the German Governments to a new customs conference at Vienna, to be opened, it is said, on the 20th inst. M. de Prokesch is reported to have sent the dispatch to the Court of Berlin. The Weser Gazette contains a letter from Olden burg of the 15th, which says :—" This day the Diet was called on to vote on the revision of the constitu- tion. The preceding Diet had decided that the ques tion of revision should be voted by an absolute majo rity, but one of the deputies, ➢Z. Vitel, proposed to day, as an amendment, that the majority should be three quarters of the voters. This amendment was rejected." The hamburg Correspondent states that the Go vernment of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg has received favourably a proposal from a Dutch company to execute a railway from Neuschautz to Seer, Olden burg, and Bremen. The Pesth Gazette contains the sentence of a court martial condemning to death Franz NVinzer, 60 years of ege, who in 1848 fled from Lemberg, carrying off the funds entrusted to his care, and in 1849 served in the insurrectionary army of Hungary, but who after wards gave himself up to the hands of justice. The Commander-in-Chief of the armies of Hungary bas commuted this sentence to ten years' confinement in a fortress. The Correspondent of Hamburg states that General Lamoriciere bas been residing in Frankfort for the last week in strict incognito , and has obtained per mission to remain fifteen days longer, in order to have an interview with the Prince de Joinville and the Duchess d'Orleans. The Correspondent adds that the French Minister demanded that he should be ex pelled, but that this was not granted. At a banquet in Berlin, given on the occasion of the anniversary of the birth of a member of his family, the sculptor Afinger was assassinated by his brother in-law. A letter from Munich, of the 12th, says:—"An immense work has just been finished here, being a series of 39 large frescoes, executed by M. Hess, in the arcades of the garden of the palace, and represent ing all the most remarkable events of the long strug gle for Greek freedom, from the time when Rhigas excited the Greeks by his songs to the landing of King Otho at the Piraeus. The Government had decided on having these works lithographed, and on , ffering a copy of them coloured to all the foreign Governments. TURKEY. A new change in the Ministry has taken place. Ash Pacha has been put aside, and Mehement Ali Pacha named Grand Vizir in his place. A certain Mahmoud Pacha has, at the same time, been named to the office of Grand Admiral. A complaint was brought against Asli Pacha that business was not transacted in order and with dispatch, and that peti tions on affairs long in suspense were daily presented to the Sultan. Mehemet Ali Pacha comes in with the moral sup port of the old Turkish party. He is a man of en ergy, haughty and proud in his demeanour, and prejudiced against Christians. He has not, so far, been in the civil Administration, and his dealings with the diplomatic corps will be difficult. But you may depend upon it the Vizir is impressed with the necessity of enforcing the laws with energy. Sir H. Ward and family arrived at Constantinople on the 24 instant, on board the lonian steamer the lonia, and took up their quarters at the British Palace at Therapia. The British fleet has quitted the Turkish seas, for the Tomair Islands. The Turks are mightily pleased with the friendly intercourse that existed between the Turkish and British fleets while at Vourla. It is greatly regretted that Admiral Dundas did not come up, and pay a flying visit to the capital. From the frontiers of Persia intelligence had ar rived that the Turkish and Persian commission which nad been formed to settle the limits of the two coun tries had terminated its labours. The principal Persian Commissioner, Mirza Djaffer Khan gave some grand fetes to his Turkish colleagues, and caused military mancauvres to be executed by the garrison of Mahiou. Some letters from Persia announce that the plague had broken out in that country, near the frontiers of the Turkish territory; but the Journal de Constantinople says that this news requires confirmation. It adds that, if true, the Government will take all measures to prevent it from spreading in its provinces. The last accounts from Aleppo, in the Portafoglio Maltese, bring the intelligence that Omer Effendi, chief of the Municipal Council of Antioch, one of the most influential members of the body of the Ulemas, has been condemned by the special tribunal of Con stantinople appointed to try him, to imprisonment for life in the fortress of Belgrade, for the murder of Father Basil, of Novara, sixteen months ago. His wife and children have also been exiled from Antioch. As the punishment of death has been abolished in Turkey, the above is the severest punishment that could be inflicted. EXPORTATON or SPECIE.—The amount of specie shipped by the Ripon, which will leave Southampton to-day for Alexandria, proves very large, comprisiug in all 271,078/. in gold and silver.

DEATH PRON STA: V AT: ON.—Yesterday 1111*. Wakely resumed, at the Harrow, Dollisbrook, an inquiry touching the death of an aged female, which had been ad journed in order that a post mortem examination might be made, and the deceased's relatives discovered. It appeared that at ten o'clock on Friday morning a man named Wag staff discovered deceased, in a lane ajoining Frith Manor, crouched up against some palings. A man named Robinson said that some time before the discovery of the body a va grant named John Young met him, and said that, as he was going through the lane in question, he saw deceased lying insensible and half-imbedded in the clay, out of which he released her, and stuck her against the palings, where he left her. Although Robinson mentioned this to several other parties, no one unfortunately went to her assistance. Sergeant Hughes, 3 S, stated that Young had been sent to the e on I p, La-' House of C orrec tion f or a mon th by the magistrate in consequence sdei in queace of hi s un f ee li ng con d uc t i n a ll ow i n g deceased that deplorable condition.

PUNE, riAL OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. COURT CIRCULAR. SPORTING IN7'.ELLIG.ENCE.; WINDSOR, OCT. 19. The pr.eparations for the funeral in the interior of St. Paul's Cathedral, are already began. The works which are just commenced are under the direction of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests ; but are entrusted to Mr. Wm. Cubitt, the eminent builder. The accommodation for those who aro admitted into the interior of the cathedral will he provided by means of four galleries—one running from the western entrance along the central aisle, two others in the easter❑ and western aisles, and a third in front of the entrance of the chapel. This last is intended for the exclusive ac commodation of a very large choir. The gallery run ning along the central aisle will be forty feet in height, while those on the eastern and western wings will be upwards of sixty feet ; and the latter will be so arranged as to form an amphitheatre round the space under ❑eath the dome—in the centre of which the remains of the late Duke will be lowered to their resting place. The whole of the galleries will be hung with black cloth, and the number of persons they are intended to contain is upwards of 10,000. The following had the honour of dining with her Ma jesty yesterday :—The Duchess of litnt, the Princess of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, Prince Hermann of Hohenlohe, the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, the Marquis of Exeter, the Lady in Waiting to the Duchess of Kent, and Sir George Couper. Prince Albert, attended by Colonel Hon. Charles Grey, and Lieutenant-Colonel F. H. Seymour, went to town this morning by a special train of the Great West ern Railway, and returned to the Castle at a quarter be fore two o'clock. NEWBRIDGE GARRISON RACES—MONDAY. The officers of the Newbridge garrison got up an ex cellent day's sport yesterday on the Curragh, which was attended by a large number of military men and sport ing characters.

The Marquis of Winchester had an interview with Mr. Secretary Walpole yesterday, at the Home-cflice. Mr. James Lloyd had an interview with Lord John Manners yesterday, at his cfficial residence, relative to Albert-park. Dispatches were sent off last evening from the Colo nial-office, for the Governors of Malta and the Mauritius; and also for the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands. The whole of the cornices above the galleries, and round all the aisles, will be illuminated by a lino of gas jets, not following the architectural lines of the building, but running in a straight row, and immediately under the " whispering gallery" a complete ring of gas jets, two or three deep, will be formed. This has been (hought the more necessary, as the weather may not on the day of the funeral be very favourable, and even if it were, the immense surface presented by the black hang ings and fronts of the galleries must materially tend to absorb any light which may find its way into the edifice.

The gallery intended for the choir will not be so high as the re3t, being only thirty feet, but it will be con structed so as to contai❑ a very considerable number ; it will be surmounted by the organ, the position of which is to be changed, in order to present its front to the place of sepulture. In order to carry this out, a portion of the stonework which supports it will be removed; but this, of course, will be replaced when the instrument is returned to its situation, after the obsequies have been performed. In order to secure the various monuments within the cathedral from injury, they will be covered with boxes of strong planking, and this alone will require, as we are informed, upwards of 50 loads of boards. The statues of Nelson and Lord Cornwallis will, however, be left exposed, being merely encircled with black dra pery, which will tend to bring into full relief the white marble of these exquisite sculptures. In the centre of these galleries will bo erected, so as to occupy as little room as possible, the machinery for lowering the coffin, and over the chasm in the pavement will bo a gorgeous catafalque. The nature of the deco rations to the canopy has not yet been ascertained, as no orders have as yet been issued to the firm of Dowbiggin and Son in relation to it. SEIZURE OF BAD MEAT. Mr. Deputy Hicks, in reference to the report made by Mr. DAW, the Chief Clerk, of the large quantity of meat which had been seized by the inspectors within the last three months, said he considered it to be necessary that the public should understand that most of the meat in question was sent by the consignors from the country in a perfectly good condition; but that, in consequence of the heat and peculiarity of the weather, it had on the road become unfit to be used as human food. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DAW—The case was just as had been stated by Mr. Deputy Hicks. It was well known that the sales men most promptly and actively co-operated with the inspectors in removing from their premises all meat liable to the objections generally made. Instead of offering tainted) meat for sale, they applied, the moment they found they had any upon the turn, for a certificate from the inspector, by means of which they became exone rated from all responsibility to the consignor.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S FUNERAL. Mr. Dew requested the attention of the court to the fact that a great number of the inhabitants of the line of road from St. Paul's to Temple-bar would soon com mence preparations for the accommodation of spectators of the funeral procession, and said it would be necessary for the prevention of a great deal of trouble and incon venience, to send a general notice to the effect that no balcony or other projecting seat should be erected in any building. Mr. GEORGE WALTER said it wculd be exceedingly useful to cause the issue of such notice to take place as soon as possible, inasmuch as a great number of the inhabitants of the ward he represented (Farringdon without) appeared to entertain the expectation that they would be allowed upon the occasion a privilege which would have the effect of causing great confusion and embarrassment. (Hear.) It was then ordered that such notices should be forth with printed and extensively circulated amongst the inhabit- , nts in the line of procession within the City. The CLERK informed the Court that he had received a communication from the City Lands Committe e , sug of filling up a po r ti on o f White complaints in the City, particularly d ur i ng been so many the period at which the cholera ra g ed. g fr e i s a t r i s ng llo t c h k e , a p b r o o u p t ri t e h t e y offensiveness of whi c h t h ere had Mr. DAW read a letter upon the subject of the pay ment of the whole of the arrears of the accounts of the City of London Gas Company.

Simon, f t o h l e low ing The width of the central aisle is upwards of 40 feet, and of this space 10 feet on each side will be occupied by the bases of the galleries, leaving a width of 20 feet for the cortege to advance through. The galleries them selves will extend back beyond the square columns, nearly to the side windows, and this of course would be a great obstruction to the light, and will render it ne cessary, in addition to the rows of jets overhead, to establish rows of burners along the fronts and rcund the columns. The long pendant lamps at present used in the edifice, will be removed pro tem. The structure of the galleries themselves will be very simple, all endeavours at embellishment being dispensed with. They will be supported by strong beams, mor ticed to heavy timbers running along the floor, and sup ported by the columns and walls of the cathedral. It is estimated that upwards of 700 waggon loads of timber will be required to complete these works, which will occupy a month in their execution. It is not intended (as we are informed) to admit the public to the whispering gallery, nor to the two small galleries over the terminations of the central aisle, as it would be impossible to see from such an elevation, especially when the rows of gas jets are lighted. A temporary pulpit will be erected near the place of interment ; bat the precise locality has not yet been de termined on. There will be a gallery, separated by bar riers from the rest, for those members of the Upper and Lower Houses who will attend the funeral.

" Gentlemen, —I beg le - ave to lay before your Honour able Court the several tables which I have pre pared to illustrate the mortality of the City of London during the past year. They refer to 52 weeks, dating from September 28, 1851, to September 25, 1852. In the first table I have distributed the 3,064 deaths of the period according to their localities and seasons; show ing them as they occurred, male and female, during each quarter of the year in the several districts and sub-dis triots of the city. For the foot of each column I have calculated the year's deaths rate per thousand of the living in the district or sub-district referred to, and at the head of the columns, for facility of reference, I have introduced an analysis of the population, founded on the Registrar-General's recent census. In the second table all the deaths of the last four years are stated in a form which will enable you to compare one year with another, and one sub district with another, in respect of their several contributions to the total mortality of the period. In the third table 12,540 deaths of the last four years are classified according to the egos at which they befell. In the remaining number (17) the particu lars of age and residence could not be correctly weer- Wined. This table is arranged in a manner to display its results, first for each year separately, and next for each union separately, in order that you may ob serve what local or annual differences have obtained as to the ages of chief mortality. The fourth - table also relates to the last 4 years. It restricts itself to those various forms of acute disease—epidemic, endemic, and infectious, which occasion most of all the predomi nant mortality of particular districts or seasons, and which are susceptible in the highest degree of being mi tigated or removed under an efficient sanitary system. In their general import these documents agree very nearly with last year's record; though showing, unfor tunately, a somewhat higher death rate, and especially a larger proportion of fever. On former occasions I have examined with great minuteness all such facts as these tables set forth, and have offered you the best sugges tions in my power for the mitigation of preventable dis ease. The sanitary condition ot the City is now substan tially the same as at the date of my last report, and any comment which I might make on the present tables could be little else than a repetition of arguments already submitted to your notice. Therefore, as other topics of importance to the health of the City press for more im mediate consideration, I refrain from occupying your time by any further remark on the materials which I subjoin.—l have the honour, Gentlemen, to remain your obedient servant, The Castle Stakes of 5 sovs. each, and 25 added, for twe-year-olds and upwards.

" JOHN SINON." From the tables, which go into very minute details, we extract the following particulars : No. 1, which contains an analysis of the year's mor tality as to the four quarters of the year, and states the population of the City to be 129,682; it appears that the deaths in four quarterly periods, terminating as follows, were : 1. 1851, Dec. 27, 773 deaths. 2. 1852, Marchl27, 773 deaths. 2, June 25, 774 deaths. 4. Sept . 25 , 717 deaths. The second table contains an enumeration of deaths during the last four years, as distributed in sub.districts and districts or unions. From the table it appears that the total mortality of the City has been : In 1848-9, 3,763 deaths ; in 1849.50, 2,7 5 2 deaths ; in 1850 -1, ; 2,978 deaths in 1851.2, 3.0 64 deaths. Total of four years, _12,557 deaths. During the year 1848.9, there were 15 cases of death, in the registration of which the residence was imper fectly recorded. These cases, therefore, though included in the total (3,763) are excluded from the sub-district enumeration. NORTHALLERTON MEETING, 1852. The third table contains deaths of the last four years stated separately and conjointly, classified according to ages, and distributed in unions. To this table is ap• pended the following note. During the year 1848-9 there were 15 cases, and during the year 1850.1 two cases, in respect of which the particulars of age or resi. deuce could slot be ascertained with sufficient accuracy for the purposes of this table. The addition of them to the total amounts in the table would give the correct number of death s f or th os e years, viz., 3,763 and 2,978 respectively, and 9,493 for the general total. I have likewise been enabled to introduce some corrections in my account of the mortality during Clio fir s t y ear . At that time my means for acourate registration of deaths were necessarily imperfect, and my first d eath li st con which ought not to h ave b een t lo a i m n rec koned to the mortality of the City. In carefully revising e e w d ' 3 5 6 H ca o s s e p s it ( a c l h ) iefly of certain patient s i n S t. Bartho my tables of that date I have excluded these cases, and have thereby reduced the total number of deaths in the year in question to 3,763. In the report referred to it was estimated at 3,799. The fourth table contains the comparative fatality during the last four years of certain acute diseases, chiefly epidemic infections and endemic. It appears from this table that of typhus fever there died in 1849, immediately before the dreadful visitation of the cholera, 166 individuals ; and that in the present year, which many medical men are of opinion will immediately precede another cholera season, there have been swept away 165, being within one of the number which heralded the approach of the terr ific malady. From the same table it appears that to the smallpox, which medical men concur in placing under the head of murder, are attributed 96 deaths within the last year. In 1849, the small-pox killed 17 ; in 1850, 33 ; in 1851, 41 ; and in 1852, 96. The report, together with its valuable tables, was ordered to be printed, and a copy Was ordered to be sent to every member of the court, and of the Cold of Common Council. AUSTRALIAN EMlGRATlON.—Emigration from the United States to Australia does not appear to have made so much progress as was anticipated. From the beginning of June to the end of September only fourteen vessels had left with about 1,800 passengers, a large number of whom were from Canada. SUDDEN DEATH OF A POLICEMAN.—OR Sunday evening last, as a policeman narowl George Best, who has been many years in the force, add was attached to the B division, happened to be going over Eccleston-bridge, Bel grave-road, Pimlico, for duty at the College -road station, he suddenly fell down in an ap o p letic fit, and appeared quite lifeless. lie was shortly taken up and removed to his lodg ings, when Mr. Pearse, of Regent-street, Westminster, was immediately sent for; but that gentleman not happening to be at home at the moment, other medical assistance was speedily procured, and the usual remedies were applied, but the deceased only survived until the following day.

"To the Most Reverend the Archbishop, the right reverend the bishops, the very reverend the deans, the venerable the archdeacons, and to the reverend the proctors for the clergy of the province of York, in synod as tembled, the humble petition of the clergy and laity of the parish of , in the diocese of "Sliewetti,—That, whereas, at the present time, urgent reasons exist why the convocation of the clergy should assemble for the purpose of providing moans to enable the Church to meet the spiritual wants of the age, and of adapting herself, her constitution and canons, to the pre sent times. And, whereas, the Crown has solemnly promised that when any difference should arise about the external policy, the injunctions, canons, and other con stitutions belonging to the Church, the clergy in their convocation, shall order and settle them with the con sent of the Crown. And, whereas, the Imperial Legis lature now consists of persons of various denominations, and the advisers of the Crown are not now necessarily Churchmen, the Church can no longer implicitly entrust her sacred interests to their irresponsible control, with out compromising her fidelity to her Divine Head. Therefore, we, the undersigned, humbly pray your ve nerable house to take such steps as you in your wisdom shall deem fit, to obtain from her Majesty her lieence, under her broad seal, to enable you to concert such mea sures as shall conduca to the advancement of true reli gi gin, and the well-being of this branch of the Church of Christ.

Half a ton of coarse metal (regulus), in lumps weighing about * cwt. and I cwt. each, were subjected to the action of a 4-horse stamp, and the effect was carefully timed. Although the steam used on the occasion was very little, being only equal to the power of about 11 horse, yet the whole quantity was crushed within eight minutes, two-thirds of the regulus being reduced to fine powder. The result did not merely give great satisfaction to those who witnessed it, but in point of power and velocity of reduction the engine excited no small degree of surprise. It was found, in the course of further trials, that the hardest and most refractory ores and minerals were utterly incapable of withstanding the force of the blows.—Mining ;Journal of Saturday. [We ob serve that one of these steam-stamps is now announced to be in course of manufacture for public exhibition ins he metro polis—a circumstance of interest to all those engged in the gold enterprizea of Australia.—Ed.

ROYAL WESTMINSTER REGIMENT OF MIDDLESEX MILITIA.— Yesterday afternoon orders were issued to the whole of the Royal Westminster Regiment of Middlesex Militia, that they are appointed to be trained and exercised (pursuant to the several acts of Parliament made in that be half) for twenty-one days together for field exercise, to com mence on Tuesday, the 26th inst., and all men belonging to the said regiment of militia are hereby required to assemble at Hammersmith, in the said county, at twelve precisely on the said day; and every man not labouring under any in firmity, incapacitating him, who shall not appear at the time and place aforesaid, will incur the penalty of twenty pounds, or be imprisoned for six months. 'I he whole of the staff officers will be on the ground, and the men inspected by the commander and officers of the division. Lord Hardinge is expected to visit the battalion before the men leave the ground. COLLISION IN THE BRITISH CHANNEL.—A collision occurred in the British Channel on Monday morning, which resulted in the sinking of a fine screw steam-ship of 800 tons burden (the Metropolitan, Captain M'Lean), on her pas sage from London to Glasgow, in which trade she was en gaged. About three o'clock on the above morning she was running down Channel, the weather being thick and foggy, when she observed a light hoisted by some vessel close to her, beating up Channel with contrary winds. This proved to be a Prussian brig, the Zollverein, of 260 tons, Captain Bleacker, bound from Bristol to Dantzic ; they came in most violent collision, the brig striking the steamer amidships on the starboard side, which she stove in so effectually that in less than a quarter of an hour the engine fires were put out, and the vessel reduced to a sinking state. SEWERAGE MANURE.—The prospectus of the City of London Sewage Manure Company, with a capital of 50,000/. in 10/. shares, has been issued. The promoters of the project state that the patent has been in successful opera tion for more than two years. The sewage is deodorised, and the solid portions converted into a dry and compact manure which is portable in sacks, and perfectly inodorous. IRISH LAWS.—It is understood that the commis , sion for the translation and publication of the ancient Irish Brehon laws, as recommended by Lord Clarendon at the close of his government, has actually been issued.

We did not mistake. Our anticipation of Moncley morning was yesterday duly fulfilled, and the French people have been soundly rated for being so unrea sonable as to attempt any interference with their own affairs. The wrath on this occasion had been ex pressed in " King Cambese's vein," with a ludicrous affectation of dignity, which seems to have been in tended to defeat itself. History is ransacked to prove that external splendour has usually accompanied and concealed a corresponding deficiency of internal vigour. We are reminded of the simplicity of Augustus Cesar and of the gorgeous habiliments of Masanniello ; and somewhat inopportunely, we are told in the same pa ragraph of the " barbaric splendours of Oriental monarchy," of the " military solemnities of the Roman commonwealth," and of the ceremonious fes tivities of the middle ages. how these things tend to establish the proposition set forth, or how the pro position itself, were it rendered as clear as that two and two make four, would be applicable to the entry of Louis Napoleon into Paris, or to the restoration of Monarchical Government to France, are matters which are left to the imagination of the ingenious or specu lative reader. It will be seen that what is thus pompously alleged on the authority of history may be granted or denied without advancing one or other side of the argument by a single hair's-breadth. In the meantime, it is admitted by our discon tented contemporary himself that the devotion of the people to the new Emperor is " spontaneous and unre luctant." But then, because it is thus " spontaneous and unreluctant," he, with his usual logical inaccuracy, calls it "servitude," the wish being to promote dis content where the interests of the human race emi nently require peace and good will. The sayings of Ledru Rollin—the purposes of Louis Blanc—the orations of Lamartine—the barricades of February and of June, are all brought up, with a view of irri tating the most irritable nation in the world ; and of inspiring the English multitude with supererogatory contempt for their neighbours. In this malignant and mischievous attempt to stir up a discord which has long slumbered, no baseness is deemed too degrading to be employed in the unhallowed service. The assertion of such direct and simple falsehoods as that " the workmen of the Faubourgs were described, but a few months ago, as untameable barbarians, to be hewn down, in street warfare," though calculated to produce laughter in Paris, where the truth is known, may yet, by dint of daily iteration, obtain some degree of credit on this side of the Channel, and further, in some degree, the profoundly wicked intent proposed. We doubt not, indeed, that there are people, and those well-intentioned and orderly citi zens, who have actually read themselves into what they feel to be an assured belief of all the fabled massacres of the 4th of December—of the indiscrimi nate firing of the troops upon men, women, and child ren, and of their special partiality for destroying the two latter classes of their defenceless fellow-creatures. The minds of such men, once perverted, it is not easy to bring back to a reasonable view of the question. And this brings us to a new phase of our contem porary's madness, wherein he throws off the heroic, and assumes the more modest, though by no means less dangerous, character of Mrs. Candour. " But," says he, " the new Emperor, as we suppose he will soon be styled, may, unquestionably, inaugurate his reign, if he be so advised, by acts of clemency, con fidence, and justice, which would obliterate from the facile memories of his subjects the traces of those flagrant acts which accompanied his rise. He may proclaim a general amnesty to the victims of those political parties which he professes to have extin guished and united—he may set an example to Eu rope which would be the soundest pledge of peace, by effecting a large and immediate reduction of the army, and he may gradually restore, at least, some shadow of their former freedom to the people he aspires to govern. If we have been foremost to de nounce a series of acts which were disgraced by all the excesses of arbitrary power, and which cannot but excite the gravest apprehensions for the future, we shall not be less ready to acknowledge any change in the policy of the French Government which bears the stamp of magnaminity and sincerity. It is obvious that the maintenance of the existing Government within the bounds of moderation and of peace (if those limits can be observed by a Power so constituted) promises more tranquility to Europe than the occur rence of any fresh revolution leading to incalculable consequences." There is the admission, almost in our own words, of all that we have been contending for. The new Emperor "may" do all the good things which are here mentioned as possible. He "may" proceed to improve the condition of his people by all the ame liorations of peace. He " may' do acts of magnani mity which shall render his name immortal. He "may" convert the energy of the soldier into the in dustry of the husbandman, or into the laborious skill of the mechanic. He " may" thus clothe barren places with verdure, and cover the seas with the pro ducts of commerce instead of the thunders of war. "may" do all this and more, and his Empire (not may, but) must, if confined within the limits of moderation and peace, promise (and perform, too) more for the tranquility of Europe than the occur rence of any " fresh revolution," leading, as such d' fresh revolution" must, to incalculable conse quences. Well, if he " may" do so much good, and if such must be the character of his Government, as contrasted with any such change as could alone suc ceed it, why are all these difficulties attempted to be thrown daily in his way i—why so much elaborate toil expended in endeavours—vain, indeed, as they happily prove to be, but still busily followed up—to poison the minds of the people of this country, and to excite them to hatred and contempt for a neighbour ing Power capable of doing so much for the tranqui lity of the world? True, indeed, this admission is accompanied by words of very fair promise. "We were the first to blame ".—" we shall not, on that account, be the last to praise." These phrases sound very candid, and one would almost think they indicated a certain love of truth after all. But who is to undo all the mis chief which has already been effected ? Our con temporary prates about reducing the army, as a proof of sincerity. First, will be, in his small way, set the example ? At this moment Europe is still sensible of the shock of 1848. We ourselves remember the 10th of April. Besides, there are at all times a thou sand possibilities out of which war may arise, and our contemporary may rest assured that he is no friend to European peace who would now advise either France or England to throw down their defensive armour. Yet again we ask, will our contemporary follow his own advice, and prove his own sincerity, by retracting all that he has written and published against the French Government, in so far as he can find such writing and such publication to be utterly and en tirely without foundation ? When he shall have done this, we shall have some confidence in his good intentions, but not till then. (From the Morning Herald.) The reception given to Louis Napoleon by the city of Paris has proved worthy of the man and the oc casion. Paris put forth all her decorative splendour in her own characteristic way, at once gorgeous and tasteful, while the Prince, even in the midst of enthu siastic exhibitions, pursued the even tenor of his own course, making his advances to the throne slowly and methodically, betraying no impulsive weakness or hurry, rejecting the temptati ons to make coups de theatre, and in every respect marking his own well balanced mind and quiet resolute will. We believe that the confidence of the more thoughtful and re flecting classes has been less gained by the magic of a name than by the result of an experience which has taught them to rely on the word of the Chief of the State, and on the established firmness of a disposition which is not to be swayed by other dictates than those of will and reason. When the Prince President pro claimed that the Empire should be synonymous with peace, he is believed to have meant what he said. That which the nation wants and desires is developed in dustry at home and peace abroad, peace being its prime necessary condition. As we gather from concurrent accounts of the triumphal entry of Saturday the words " Peace and Industry," in different forms of expression, graced arches of triumph and floating banners and steamers. If the declaration that L'Empire c'est la pair had not struck deeply into some great immediate necessity, it could not have been taken up with sign.s of approbation so general, and a satisfaction so mani fest. It becomes the policy of the Prince, in wh?se hand is the government of France, to cultivate prin ciples to which he has g iven vigour, by.putting them forth in the broad day-light of public opinion, stampe with the seal of his own acceptance and high approba tion. Two significant circumstances connected with th . e immediate arrival of the Prince President at the rail way station in Paris are particularly deserving o f note—a throne had be en p repared, to which, although surrounded, and as it were supported by the clergy, Senate, Council of State. Legislative Body, with de putations from various other corporations, so that all ranks and classes of the State were there represented, he yet refused to be conducted. This was not from affectation, like that of the first Caesar, who thrice put aw ay the kingly crown, for immediately afterwards --and this is the second of the circumstances to which we are alluding—he said, in his reply to the ad dress of the municipal authorities, "If France wills the Empire it is because she thinks that this farm of go vernment best guarantees h er gran d eur an d h e r f u turity. Neither did the rumour of the Senate having suddenly met and drawn up the necessary Consulte, by wa y o f An agreeable surprise, turn out t o have any better foundation than the desire, per haps, to invest a sure l y coming event with the hap piest inventions of circumstances. Thus we discover, through unmistakeabl e indications, that the throne about to be established must have its foundation struck deep into a general consent so clearly and for- / .- _ L -, wally ascertained that its subversion can never at all events be covered by speciously devised pretexts. The heir of the Emperor is too watchfal and observ ant not to have derived a lesson from the disputed title of his last royal predecessor, on the ground that the nation had not been formally consulted. However loud and showy, and even general, may be the signs of popular acclamation, yet might they be disputed by a future generation as artificial, exaggerated, me chanically contrived, or yet again, the effervescence of momentary delusion, in case pretexts should be wanting for some fresh turn of revolution. On clear record, and not on misty tradition, will the new Em peror rest his title. Hence it is, or at least so doth it seem to be, that be has hitherto rejected the most specious and tempting occasions to declare his trans figuration from simple President to sacred Em peror, although to a people so imaginative, and so under the emotion, a influence of fond of ac t withof i p n p s t i r g a til o o p n ; association and popular enthusiasm, could not have tailed to win their most rapturous concurrence. At Lyons, for instance, beneath the statue of the Em peror—at Toulon, where the young Lieutenant of artillery pointed hi s fi rst gun in battle—at Mar seilles on the first burst of indignation at the covery of an infernal machine —o r at Bordeaux, the royal city, par excellence, the Empire might have been announced with sufficient grace. Why expec tation and impatience should have been so long baffled, could only, at length, be explained by re ference to the primacy of the metropolis ; and so the city put forth all its most intelligible hints, and they not confined even to the most splendidly wrought hieroglyphics. At the railway, the throne, with its living ornaments and supporters ; at the city entrance, the plain offer of the city magistracy ; at each step, an imperial crown suspended over hie head ; and on each of a series of triumphal arches, baldequins, or draperies, a hail to Napoleon 111. Amidst all this display of external decoration and popular fire, we know of nothing so striking and remarkable as the movement of that one impassable figure, riding on alone, exhibiting no signs of emotion, but taking tranquilly, as his due, the marks of popular respect, which, it is acknow ledged, he returned with admirable grace and dis tinction of manner. Such line of conduct, so much in contrast with the ordinary habits of the French people, only serves to pique by its singu larity. Here is a ruler who will have nothing more to do with wayward impulses or passionate oscilla tions from system to system and form to form. Whether as regards his own personal position, or the political interests of the people, he will proceed to wards clearly-discerned objects by systematic plan, obeying reason and despising temper. As it is, his own personal character, which is his own nation's, and indeed the world's, guarantees for the per formance of undertakings in whose success peace becomes the essential element of hope and promise, it is most satisfactory that, judged by all testa imme diately within reacb, it is as firm and reliable as hie mind is elevated and clear-sighted. The speeches of Louis Napoleon are by this time acknowledged, even by his opponents, to possess singular aptitude to cir cumstances. The same may be sa.kd of his de meanour and bearing, so calm and collected. Sure we are that Louis Napoleon will understand the true interests of his country to be in accordance with the pacifically enterprising spirit and active ;•emPer of the times in which we live, and that he will ,act only in accordance with his own sense of sound policy. THE LIBERATION OF ABD-EL-KADEN.• The following is from the M oniteur:— "The Prince; has marked the end of his tour by II great act of justice and national generosity—he has re stored Abd-el-Kader to liberty. This act has long hem decided in his mind; be wished to carry it into effect as soon as circumstances should permit him to follow, with• out any danger to the oountry, the suggestions of his heart. At present, France has too legitimate a confi dence in his strength and his rights not to show herself great towards a vanquished enemy. In returning to Paris the Prince stopped at the Chateau d'Amboise, and, having seen Abd-elliader, informed him of the end of his captivity in the following terms:— " Abd-el-Bader,—l come to inform you of your liberation. You are to be taken to Broussa, in the States of the Sultan, as soon as the necessary preparations shall have been made, and you will receive there from the French Government an allowance worthy of your former rank. You are aware that for a length of time your captivity has caused me real affliction, for it incessantly reminded me that the Government which preceded me had not observed the engage ments entered into towards an unfortunate enemy ; and nothing in my eyes is more humiliating for the Government of a great nation than to misunderstand its force to such a point as to fail in its promise. Generosity is always the best counsellor, and I am con vinced that your residence in Turkey will not prove in jurious to the tranquillity of our possessions in Africa. Your religion, like ours, enjoins submission to the de crees of Providence. ut if France is mistress of Algeria, the reason is that God willed it to be so, and the French nation will never give up that conquest. You have been the enemy of France, but I am not the less willing to render justice to your courage, to your cha rcter, and to your resignation in misfortune. That is the reason why I consider it a point of honour to pot an end to your captivity, having full confidence in your we rd.' _ _ " These noble words deeply moved the ex• Emir. After having expressed to his Highness his respectful and eter nal gratitude, he swore on the Koran that ho would never attempt to disturb our rule in Africa, and that he would submit, without any ulterior design, to the will of France. Abd-el-Kader, added that it would be quite to mistake the spirit and the letter of the law of the Prophet to imagine that it allowed any violation of engagements towards Christians, and he pointed oat to the Prince a verse in the Koran, which formally condemns, without any exception or reservation, whoever violates sworn faith, even with unbelievers. In the opinion of all in telligent Arabs, the conquest of Africa is a fait accompli, they see in the constant superiority of our arms a marked manifestation of the will of God. A loyal and generous policy is the only one that befits a great nation, and France will be thankful to the Prince for havinK fol lowed it. Abd•el•Kader will remain at the Chateau d'Amboise until all the necessary measures have been taken connected with his removal, and his residenoe at Broussa." HEALTH of LONDON during the TVEEK.
