By the 10th of next August the memorable. treaty of commerce between France end Belgium will have expired. By the 8% of next June one-half of the Belgian Chamber of Representati ve s must be re-elected, l e cted, in compliance with the 51st article of the Constitu tion. The position of affairs in that country, wit h reference to its powerful neighbour, is consequently very imminent in its character. To appreciate the importance of this subject as bearing upon the con tinuance or rupture of the tranquillity of Chris tendom, it is only necessary to remember the ru mours which the other day were prevalent, to the effect that the policy of the Prince LOUIS NA POLEON had a tendency decidedly antagonistic to the interests of King LEOPOLD, or that, to speak more plainly, the ambition of the powerful chieftain of the Elysee was directing its energies beyond the Belgian frontiers, with a view to the territorial aggrandizement of the Republic. Precisely at this moment, therefore, when the Belgian Chamber of Deputies is on the eve of a partial dissolution, and when the treaty of com merce between the two countries is within a s i ng l e quarter near the period cf its expi ration, it becomes a matter of enormous importance to discern the course likely to be pursued upon this question by the puisant Prince now in stalled for ten years upon the chair of the Republic, aad grasping with supreme authority the reins of the democratic government. Exactly at this time, ctioreover, it is that the intentions of LOUIS NAPOLEON j In regard to Belgium are revealed. This revelation 1 occurs under the signature of M. GRANTER DE CAS.. SAGNAC, and in the columns of the Constitutionnel. From the elaborate statement which has thus been published in a semi-official manner, he only manner really practicable under the circumstances, seeing that the pages of the illoniteur are restricted rather to decrees than to explanations, it will be per ceived that the projects of the PRINCE PRESIDENT are, as might reasonably have been anticipated, alto gether as pacific as his diplomatic system hitherto has been moderate in its demands and sagacious in their enforcement. The passage in which the warlike intentions attributed to Louis NAPOLEON in regard to Belgium are disclaimed is too important of its kind, and too remarkable for its explicitness, not to command for it a most respectful consideration. Upon this point—" A sort of terror," says the article in the Constitutionnel, " took possession of the Bel gian Cabinet after the 2d December, and the Minis ters imagined that Louis NAPOLEON would infallibly invade Belgium. It was a false and puerile alarm• Belgium would have an immense commercial interest in being reunited to France; the interest of France in that reunion is infinitely less. Besides, the PRINCE PRESIDENT, as all Europe well knows, only entertains ideas of organization at home and peace abroad ; it is not to set nations one against the other that he has saved them from Socialism ; and his task is greater and more glorious for his ambition than algy conquest could be." Such is the bold and honest disclaimer of any intention whatever on the part of Louis NAPOLEON'S Government to act inimically to the interests of Belgium. About the force of this disclosure there cannot be two opinions among the unprejudiced. It is frank, plain, and resolute. Recently in the same journal appeared the denial of any bellicose purpose in reference to England, and now comes this equally candid denial of any aggressive views in re gard to Belgium. Calumny after calumny is refuted, and during the progress of events the Ministers of the PRINCE PRESIDENT persevere with unflagging energy in carrying out calmly the stupendous and intricate labours of internal administration. Yet such is the utter absence of magnanimity per ceptible in the conduct of those who have heretofore vilified every proceeding of the Prince Louis NAPO LEON individuals bitten with a sort of anti- Bonaparte-phobia that they distort even his acts of grace into additional evidences o f turpitude. Does the Prince, from a noble appreciation of the genius of AaAoo, waive the necessity of requiring from that illustrious astronomer the oath of allegiance which would have been otherwise necessary for the re tention of his post at the head of the Paris Observatory ? It is at once elegantly observed by one of these generous-minded traducers that Louis NAPOLEON has " knuckled down" to the man of science and probity ! Does the Prince, in • stead of proclaiming the Empire on the Champ de Mars, as bad been predicted by his antagonists, and as they acknowledge he might have done with the same ease that he presented the eagles to the different regiments, cause the cries of " Vive l'Empereur!" to be sup pressed in the official report of the ceremonial pub lished in the Moniteur He is at once taunted with the disappointment of his aspirations, and with the cool ness of those who, according to every narrative of the festivity, received him rather with the most fervent acclamations ! The same disingenuous method of commenting disparagingly upon every incident of his rule is observable throughout the whole of the remarks of his antagonists. His concessions dictated by be neficence are construed into signs of weakness. He refrains from declaring war against any one, and he is at once accused of conspiring against the peace of Christendom. He drives a little open phaeton himself slowly through a dense crowd from the Elysee to the Invalides, when he goes to hear a requiem mass offered up for the repose of the EMPEROR—and we are told that he gallops in a closed carriage with bullet proof pannels, surrounded by a troop of cuiras siers, through a multitude muttering curses not loud but deep, and thirsting like tigers for his assassination. The very declarations of his ami cable feeling towards England and Belgium are regarded as additional proofs of his lust of con quest. And, all this time, the country, said by these writers to be groaning under the pressure of his sanguinary and remcrseless despotism, is developing its resources as it has not been able to develop them fur many years previously—Society, Family, and Property being re-established on the basis of a powerful and independent Government, under the blessing of Religion, under the shadow of the Re public, and under the aegis of NAPOLEON. Personal matters appear to have recently monopo lized the attention of Parliament. Tne circurn. stance is not unworthy of notice, occurring, as it does, immediately before the dissolution. It would seem as though our Legislators were adopting every imaginable device to fritter away the public time in order that the general election may be delayed until the year has tolerably well advanced. The truth is, all parties, without exception, are nervous as to the result of this momentous appeal to the country. The Ministry itself has avowed, through the lips of the First Lord of the Treasury, that but few hopes are entertained of a majority being returned to the next House of Commons by the Protectionists. The ex-Ministry again, although perfectly aware of its unpopularity, although unable to question for an instant the existence of that unpopularity after the apathetic indifference displayed on all hands at the period of its collective resignation, dreads so far the force of that popularity that it refrains even from the peril of its overt acknowledgment. Thus, for ex ample, in the recent communication addressed to his metropolitan constituents, by the Noble Lord the Leader of the Opposition, no allusion whatever was made by him to the want of confidence in him enter tained by so many of his former supporters, notwith standing that this feeling on the part of the electors of the city of London has become long since notorious not only throughout Middlesex, but throughout the greater portion of the United Kingdom. Such, moreover, was the solicitude felt upon the subject of the electioneering movement by the distinguished Chieftain of the Peelites, that he was about the first to unfurl the political banner in anticipation of the approaching struggle, by addressing his already well known letter to the electors of the borough of Ripon. In that manifesto it cannot be forgotten that Sir JAMES GRAHAM at once boldly announced his inten- tion of " carrying the war into the enemies' camp," by recommending the Free-traders to put one query to the various candidates—" Are you a supporter or an antagonist of Lord DERBY'S Government ?" Lesser divisions of the Legislature have evinced a no less remarkable amount of activity. The Exeter-hall people, likewise, have been bestirring themselves betimes, even as far north wards as the great manufacturing city of Manchester. In the archiepiscopal city of Canterbury, mo r eov er , such hot words have been breathed that its represen tatives have taken return-tickets to Weybridge, for th e purp ose o f an _ to: e exc h ang i ng shots to tle dismay cf shoart,heteahblee cock pheasant. In all directions may, in of ~ ar , d that peculiar note — whicb, in the instance —the no te is occasionally liable to become cashed moi l:reparation.

Otherwise than by b pursued by him within Lord PALMERSTON has remained impassive w in the midst of all those bickerings of party and of all that electioneering excitement which prepare tl e way for the Ministerial appeal to the coup try. Contrasting strongly with his conduct in this respect, the bearing of the other political leaders of the _day has betrayed very Manifestly a i i considerable degree of solicitude. Insomuch so,r,that each dreading the possibility of discomfiture, all have united in lengthening out the debates so as to delay still further the hoz irdous epoch of the dissolution. To this end the Members of the House of Commons dedicated their energies, first, to the consideration of the annual estimates. Then came the pro longed discussions upon the Militia Bill, followed by a series of adjournments and re-adjournments. Another evening, moreover, they rejoiced to see monopolized by the financial statement of the new CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER. Afterwards, thanks to the fanatical consis tency of Mr. SPooNER, the Maynooth grant pro voked, night after night, a succession of tediously minute and distressingly elaborated arguments. Minor questions were in a similar way debated until, so to speak, they became absolutely threadbare—and the representatives, finding themselves driven at last to the examination of private grievances with a view, if possible, to protract yet a little while longer the already long-delayed dissolution of the Legislature. Yesterday revealed in a remarkable manner the anxiety of both Houses in this matter by the unusual variety of purely personal subjects inquired into by the assembled Parliament. A glance at our report of the debates of last evening will show how far this anxiety was carried in the Lords as well as in the Commons. There was first of all a discussion in the Upper House upon the case of Mr. MATHER, the young Englishman who was not long since insulted in the streets of Florence by an Austrian officer. From the explanations given during the course of this discussion by the Noble Earl the Chief Secre tary in the Foreign Department it would appear that the amount of compensation offered has not been deemed adequate by the members of her MAJESTY'S Government. Later in the evening a petition was presented by Lord BEAUMONT from one CONSTANT DERRA DE MARODA, praying for inquiry into the circumstance of the arrest of the Baroness Vox BECK at Birmingham. Whereupon ensued a more than usually animated debate respect ing the harsh and in many respects unjustifiable treatment of the unfortunate Racidula. Meanwhile, in the House of Commons, not only was the case of Mr. MATHER again brought before the notice of Parliament, but three other cases of an equally personal character were dis cussed by the national representatives. There was the case of Mr. MURRAY, the young Englishman, who, for consorting, it is said, with red Republicans, and for being in some manner implicated with Com munist aseassior, has lately been found guilty and condemned to death in the Papal dominions. There was the case of Colonel OUTRAM'S dismissal from the office of resident at the Court of the Guicowar, toge ther , a ith the alleged corruption of the officers of the Bombay Government. Besides which, there was the often revived and apparently interminable case of Mr. BENNETT and his institution to the vicarage of Frome, notwithstanding his comparatively recent removal from St. Paul's and St. Barnabas', Knightsbridge—a subject which proved, of course, yesterday, according to wont, peculiarly fruitful of discussion. By thus pro tracting the debates from night to night the Parlia ment has contrived to carry the session on from windy March to showery April, and forward through what ought, according to the alma necks, to be the pleasant and blossoming, but what has, according to the weather, been the drenched and chilly month of May, until we find ourselves almost within sight of the first and brightest of the summer months, " the leafy month of June," without one official whisper having yet been audible as to the probable period of the dissolution of Parlia ment. From this evident timidity of the different parties in the Legislature, we are sanguine that the Liberal electors of the United Kingdom, those elec tors who may be designated from the thorough inde pendence of their views as patriots rather than as partizans, will take courage to themselves, and, by acting in obedience to the dictates of their better judgment, so far influence the course of the general election as to return to the House of Commons men sworn to no faction whatsoever, but resolved to vin dicate their integrity as Free-traders, and to further the cause of social and political improvement by practical reforms secured in rapid succession after the assemblage of the new Parliament.

Gladstone, who has lately acquired so much celebrity, by the decided stand which he has made against the inroads of Traetarianism, and by the noble manner in which he has confronted the Bishop of London, though armed with all the terrors of the Ecclesiastical Courts, has just been published, in aid of the funds of the Anti-Tractarian Association, of which the Rev. Gentleman was the founder. The por trait is in lithography, and in addition to being a strik ing likeness, is as tine a specimen of the excellence to which the art of drawing on stone has been brought, as we have seen for a long time past. The portrait was painted by Mr. Herbert L. Smith, and is lithographed by Mr. J. Skelton, of Albany-street, Regent's-park.— Morning Advertiser. [ We ha►e rarely indeed seen so speaking a likeness as this portrait of Mr. Gladstone; while, as a specimen of art, it is singularly beautiful. There is not a sound Protestant in the empire but ought to become possessed of so excellent a memorial of the intrepid and noble confronter of ecclesiastical oppression. Were the mi nistry of the Church of England all men of Mr. Glad stone's stamp, the gangrene of Tractarianism would be soon extirpated. His numerous admirers have now an opportunity of showing their honour of the man by placing this most striking similitude of his features over the firesides of their homes.—En. Sun ] CABINET COUNCIL.—(THIS DAY.)-11113 Ministers assembled in Council this afternoon, at the Foreign-office, Downing-street. There were present—The Earl of Derby, the Earl of Lonsdale, the Duke of Northumberland, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Chancellor- of the Exchequer, Mr. Herries, Mr. Henley, Sir John S. Pakington, Mr. Secretary Spencer Walpole, the Lord Chancellor, and Lord John Robert Manners. The dissolution of Parliament, as recom mended by Ministers, according to reports today at the club-houses, will take place about the 22d or 24th of the ensuing month. MADAME CELESTE.—Thid ppular artiste was by the last dates performing her final engagement at Philadel phia to enormous houses. His Excellency Governor Bigler had gone in grand state to her celebrated representation of the French Spy. The Philadelphia Sun, in speaking of her, says—'• Celeste's benefit takes place at the Walnut this evening. We are soon to lose the graceful acting of this lady, as she returns to Europe. In intensity of feeling, grace of action, and elegance of pantomime, she stands without a rival, and often reminds those Who have seen Rachel, of the glowing personations of that celebrated actress. This even ing she appears as Narramattah, in the beautiful drama of the Wept of the Wish-ton-Wish, and as Mazurka, in Taming a Tartar." When in Washington, she received an autograph letter from the celebrated Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Daniel Webster, and had the honour of a personal interview- Such is the attention paid by the great to artists in every country but our own. POSTAL COMMUNICATION WITH THE FALKLAND ISLANDS. —The Gazette of last night contains a Treasury warrant fixing the rates of postal charge for letters and news papers to and from the Falkland Islands, Monte Video, and England ; APOTHECARIES'-HALL.—The following are the names of gentlemen who passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certificates to practise, on Thursday, May 27, 1852:—John Edmunds, Bangor-rscoed, Flintshire; Clark Armstone Ducket, Quad ring, Eaudike, Lincoln; John Hancock W o l sten h o l me , Bolton-le-Moors; Charles Harris, Northiam, Sussex; Wil liam Charles Beckett; Leonard Yeatley Yelf, Isle of Wight. ABOLITION OF THE M . ASTERS'• OF FICES . The Lord Chancellor's Bill to abolish the Masters'-offices, as amended, has just been printed. This measure will shortly reach the House of Commons, and is expected to pass into a law without much discussion. At the commencement of Michaelmas Term (2d of November) the first foar Masters will retire on allowances, as directed by the Bill. FATAL ACCIDENT ON LOCH VENNACHAR.--00 Saturday last a party of pleasure took a boat for the pur pose of enjoying ,a day's sail on the water, when, in their progress, the oar of one of the rowers dropped overboard.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Constitutionnel says, that although it is not the custom of the Emperor of RUSSIA to receive ambassa dors or ministers plenipotentiary of foreign powers, when he is out of his own country, and that neither the corps diplomatique at Vienna or at Berlin were admitted to pay their respects to hi m , ye t th at B aron DE HECKE ZEN, who had been charged with a private mission from the PRINCE PRESIDENT to the two EMPERORS, had been received by the CZAR, a strong indication of the friendly disposition of Russia with regard to France and Louis NAPOLEON. We read in the Debats—" Several., journals of Paris publish, on the faith of letters in the Belgian papers, details of pretended conferences, which, ac cording to them, took place between the principal partisans of what is called the fusion, and of an in tended journey of the Orleans Princes to the banks of the Rhine; they even add that several persons of note in Paris have received letters from the Duchess of ORLEANS, who, they say, uses nearly the same lan guage in them concerning the oath of public functi onaries as the Count DE CHAMBORD did in his mani festo. We think we can affirm that all this intel ligence has no kind of foundation, and that no recent change had taken place either in the acts or in the respective position of the two branches of the Bourbon family. In these letters also, General CHANGARNIER has been made to play a part altogether contrary to his character, and to the resolution which he has taken, to remain, during his exile, altogether uncon nected with combinations and proceedings in which his political adversaries want to mix him up at any price. The illustrious General had no need to be dissuaded by his friends from visiting Frohsdorf, for he never had any intention of going there." We read in the Patric :—" Endeavours have been made to circulate a report that the Council of State had shown itself hostile to the Government on the question of the Orleans property. This report, started for purposes of speculation, is devoid of all foundation. The affair has not yet been brought be fore the Council of State." The Bulletin de Paris says :—" The foreign journals hostile to the French Government have at tempted to make a great noise about notes said to have been exchanged between the Courts of Vienna and St. Petersburgh, and containing a protest against the Empire in the event of France being pleased to give to herself that form of government. But this note is not authentic, and no more merits attention than the rumours of war with which these hawkers of false news supply daily public credulity." The Grand Referendary of the Senate gave on Wednesday a brilliant soirée, at which the elite of the Parisian beau monde were present. At the supper, an English naval officer, in full uniform, gave the health of General D'HAUTPOUL, accompanied by three English "hurrahs," which were warmly responded to by all present. The reception of M. ALFRED DE MussET at the French Academy took place on Thursday, before a numerous auditory, alike literary and fashionable. Amongst the academicians present were to be seen M. DUCHATEL and M. MOLE. M. DE MUSSET'S address, which was elegantly written, but monoto nously read, was replied to by M.

A letter from Hesse Homburg, in the Cologne Gazette, states that, in pursuance of a rescript of the 7th, judicial proceedings have been ordered against the deputies who remain faithful to the Constitution, and they have been formally prohibited from enter ing into any discussions on the Constitution of the Lang ravate. The Cologne Gazette, under date of Carlsruhe, 22d, says:—" Most of the officers of the Grand Duchy of Baden, who went to Paris to be present at the review of the 10th, have returned. They were perfectly satisfied with the reception given them by the PRINCE PRESIDENT, who long resided in this country, and who must always remember that period with pleasure. One of the officers, Lieut.-Colonel CLANBETZ, has been named by the PRINCE PRESI DENT officer of the Legion of Honour. An old Baden General, Baron DE DEGENFELD, Who under the EMPEROR was to have been decorated immediately after the battle of Baul zen , a di st i nct i on, however, which he did not obtain i n consequence of the rap i d change in the state of aff a i rs, h as rece i ved by his son, DEGENFELD, who went to Paris, the Captain DE Cross of the Legion of H onour ."

The chief of the club was an officer of arquebusiers. The result of this affair is regarded with anxiety. MA RYLEBON E THEATRE. The performances last evening were for the benefit of Mr. George Bolton. They commenced with Hamlet, which was asithetically played. Thu death of King Claudius evoked roars, and a new emendation of the text by the second gravedigger, who, when asked, " What is he who builds stronger than either the mason, the ship wright, or the carpenter?" replied " the bellows-maker," was deservedly and enthusiastically appreciated. The celebrated Flexmore had been caught hold of to give " A Grotesque Extravaganza," and ao astonished the natives that he had to comply with three encores. The well-sustained whistling, w i t h which the orchestra was occasionally accompanied by the gods, and the magnifi cent storm of VOiCeS appropriately introduced in one of the galops, and delivered with a power and precision that made the walls of the theatre quiver, demonstrated the favour in which music is held in high places. At midnight the performances were rather more than half over, there then remaining but two farces to be got through, so that the entire was most probably brought to a conclusion before sunrise.

The sales of CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were estimated at 10,000 bales, of which about two-thirds were taken for export and on speculation. The market olosed firmly. —Railway shares were flat at lower prices. The great feature in the Bank of England return, made up to last Saturday, is the large increase in the amount of bullion, the total now being only about 700,0001. under the note circulation. This extraordinary addition is a proof of the vast accumulation of the pre cious metal in this country, and looking at the other items of the Bank account, we do not find that discounts have increased, but rather that purchases of Govern ment securities have had to be made to employ the assets of the corporation.

In a new publication, calculated to prove most useful to men of business, Lawson's Merchant's Magazine, we find some excellent suggestions for a reform of the qua rantine laws, a subject that has always excited diffe rence of opinion, but upon which much sounder views are now entertained. The information given upon all matters bearing upon trade during the month must prove very useful to men of business.
