414•401. kw . FRANCE. A letter, dated Toulon the 2d inst., states that on that morning the Chaptal and the Chacal weighed anchor and put to sea. The following ships of war are at present anchored in the harbour :—Ville de Paris, Wray, Henri IV., Jena, Jupiter, Bayard, Napoleon, Charlemagne, Uraine, Proven gale, Perdrix, Orenoque, G o wer, Sane, Labrador, Pluton, Grondeur, Dauphin, Salanaandre, Caton, Vedette, Narval, Averne, Eclai feu; Prony, Heron, Brasier, and Vigilant. The steam boat Heron anchored in the roads on the 29th, coming from Lisbon, whence she sailed on the 231. She left the Newton in the Tagus. An order has just been given that the lena line-of battle ship is to be laid up in ordinary. She will be replaced in the Mediterranean squadron by the screw line-of-battle ship the Montebello. The Heron steamer has arrived at Toulon from Lisbon to undergo repairs, after which she is to proceed to the Levant station. The Thisbe corvette has arrived at Lorient from Tahiti and the Marquesas. She has brought back to France Capt. Bonnart, Commissary of the French Republic at the Society Islands. The Prince President's return to Paris is fixed for the 17th, instead of the 16th, as previously arranged, be having, it seems, yielded to the request to spend a night at Blois. GERMAN Y. The following appears to be a summary of the pre sent situation of the Zollverein question, i❑ conse quence of the decisions of the principal parties con cerned in it :—Dissolution, not official, but de facto, of the Congress of Berlin ; continuation of the nego tions between Prussia and the States adhering to the ultimatum of August 30 ; reconstitution of the Zoll verein by Prussia and those States with which she may come to an u nderstanding on the point ; and diplomatic means left open to the dissentient States to adhere in their turn part t ultimatum of August 30, and to again form part of the ZAverein when reconstituted. ITALY. In its sitting of the 28th ult., the Royal Court con tinued the examination of Guerrazzi. An order of his wa s produced, directing the Minister Adami to pay 60f. to Nicolini. Guerrazzi stated it was the price of a carbine which Nicolini had made a present of to his nephew, which he (Guerrazzi) disapproving of, he ordered the price to be paid. _lle added that Adami bad erroneously put that sum to the account of the public treasury, it being a private debt, which defendant would have p ‘id had he had time to think of it. The decree by which the Provisional Government declared itself consti tuted and named its Ministers, being then read in court, Guerrazzi called the attention of the bench to the fact that the Provisional Government had made every effort to maintain as much as possible of the constitutional form of government. The clerk next read the proclamation addressed by the Provisional Government to the Tuscans, and collectively signed by the three members of the Government. The expressions were moderate, and the document was chiefly intended to remove any uneasiness existing among the inhabitants, as to the possibility of acts of violence from conflicting parties. As to the removal of the Grand Ducal escutcheon, Guerrazzi maintained he had not ordered, but only consented to, its removal in those places where collisions might have arisen on account of it. Whereupon the President of the Court asked him to explain a letter addressed by Mordini, Minister of Foreign Affairs, to the governor of Leghorn, direct ing hen to communicate his nomination to that de partment to the Tuscan consular agents, and to command them to remove the Grand Ducal army. Guerrazzi answered that the said letter was no act of his, and could not be laid to his charge. To the charge of having imposed the oath of fidelity to the Provisional Government upon the troops, defendant replied that he had nut imposed that oath, since every one was tree to take it or leave the service; and that in many places the taking of the oath was deferred, in order to prevent the troops from disbanding. This statement was also borne out by the next document read by the clerk—viz., a letter from the Government delegate of Massa, under which were written the following lines by Guerrazzi : " My dear Prefect,—Hold out by all means; do what ever you may think proper; organise riflemen, defend the frontier, flatter, praise, and excite Da Leugier's sen timents of honour. Let him be deeply convinced that Leopold 11. has abandoned the country to anarchy and invasion, without a pretext or plausible motive. He has taken as much gold with him as possible, and on the very utmost border of the coast he is meditating civil war, with one foot on a British vessel, and the other upon land. We will create an army, we will find money, and if we can do nothing we shall all be blown up (andremo all' Aria)." Guerrazzi explained this letter by stating that it was written on the 14th of February, one of the most tempestuous days of that period, when the republican hordes were really strong, owing to the weakness of the Government that had no troops on which it could rely. So it happened that the chiefs of the faction were constantly besieging the Ministers, imposing measures, and dictating their will. Here the defendant's counsel protested against that letter being produced in court, when it was not proved that it had ever been dispatched to its ad dress. Guerrezz;, on examination, answered he did not know whether it had been sent or not ; but that it often happened that dispatches were written under the pressure of the demagogues, and then never sent off.—To the decree, directing that instead of Leopold 11., the Provisional Government should be named in public acts or sentences, defendant stated that that decree was caused by the magistrates having abstained for two days from pronouncing sentences, not knowing in whose name to pronounce them, end added, that by so doing they indirectly admitted the legitimacy of the Provisional Government. The President of the Court then rose, and solemnly denied that the Tuscan magistracy had ever acknowledged the Provisional Government as a legitimate one. The Court adjourned to the following day. A letter from Naples of the 25th ult. states that on the previous day his Majesty and the Royal Family came to the capital from Caserta to offer up his devo tions at the shrine of J inuariaa. On returning in the afternoon, the railway tr a i n w hi c h carr ied hi s Majesty ran into another train which had started about three-quarters of an hour before, but which had been stopped by soma impediment on the road. The driver of the second train stopped his engine in time to prevent the shock of the collision being very great, 3 nil no injury was received by any of the royal party, with the exception of a slight bruise on the head of one of the Princes Royal. The engine -driver was slightly wounded on the shoulder. The King on leaving the carriage said — " It is nothing, no one is injured. Providence has protected us." HEALTH OF LONDON DURING 7 HE WEEK. (Front the Registrar-General's Report ) In the week that ended last Saturday 1,251 deaths were registered in the metropolitan districts. It is necessary to state that the increase which this return exhibits over previous weeks is not the effect of an in creased rate of mortality, but is produced by an ac cumulation of cases, principally violent and strider' deaths, on which inquests had been previously held, but which had not b e e n formally registered - till the close of the quarter. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1842- /51 the average number of deaths was 1,000, which, with the addition of a tenth for increase of population, and for the sak e of comparison with last week's return, would be 1,100. The following are the fatal cases, as enumerated in this vreek'a table, under the several kinds of zymotic disease :—Only 6 cases, 2 of which wer e i n t h e Smallpox Hospital, occurred from smallpo x , 5 f rom measles, 13 from booping-cough, 8 from cr ou p, 2 from thrush, 2 from influenzs, 4 from purpura, 1 from ague, 2 from remittent fever, 1 from rheumatic fever, 4 from puerperal fever, 51 from typhus, 6 from erysipelas, 2 from syphilis, 72 from diarrhcea and dy. sentery, and 2 from cholera, while 81 were caused by scarlatina. The fatal effects of this last complaint in particular instances are noticed both by registrars and medical men. The following are the two deaths from cholera registered in th e w ee k In the Glove e d - n -toad, St. John's, Marylebooe, on the 27th of Septemb er, a doctor o f me di c ine,. aged eighty-three year s , di e d o f "diarrhoaa ( 3 da y s), cholera (2 days)." In High-street, Putney, on the 22d of Sepfember, y the widow of a captain in th e army, aged 63 ' years, . 4 ' cholera occidentalis (12 days andl2or 14 hours), secondary fever, exhaustion (12 days)." In Kenoington, at Brown's•buildiogs, on the 24th of September, the son of a labourer, aged 5 y ears, di e d of " scarlatina, anasarca, effusion on chest and abdo men ;" and at the Potteries, on the 29th of September, the son of a labourer, aged 10 years, died of " scarla tina (8 days), anasar c a ( 3 days)." With reference to the house in which the former death occurred, the medical attendant states that " this is the fourth death from scarlatina and its sequelse which has occurred in it within the last month. A short time ago there were 17 persons living in this house, Which has four or five swell rooms and a stable adjoining. A . most offensive privy and drain are close to the en trance ; also an immense heap of putrid v , -getable and other matter has been suffered te accumulate for weeks. The sanitary condition of the house is shock ing in the extreme, and renders it quite unfit for ha bitation." At 8, Newcastle-street, Farringdon-street, on the 26th of Se ptember, the daughter of a brewer's servant, aged 9 years, died of " scarlatina (14 days)." Mr. Fortescue says—" This is the fourth death I have 4 04 ered in the same family within eight days from , a te disease is prevalent in my district." cif ...armi .; ... ; istrict of hackney-road, at 1, Gibral 4;i:se ' 7 ' 7 ' 1 e,t s: 24th and 28th of September, the son 1 4 4-.; ...- '<daughter of a a porter, aged respectively 9 years 1i - .;1 , * 4! yeAri f . died of typhus, elkch after a fortnight's .'&\ -,_t.':.- . 4 ....,,,,f•-*/,4i .-- • _:-_-_-: I.,•1- .-- IV r) THE SUN, illness. Mr. Murray makes the following observa tions with respect to this house :—" There have been three deaths in the same family in three weeks, the first from scarlatina, and the last two from typhus ; and two children are now in a precarious state from the latter disease. Informant states that the drainage has been in a very defective state, causing oppressive smells, but has been remedied by opening a commu nication with an existing sewer during the illness of these children." In Hoxton Old-town, at 8, Old Ivy-street, on 12th September, a boy, aged 6 years, died from " scarla- 1 tina maligns." Inquest. Mr. Pearc e adds :7" This is the fourth death registered in the same family from scarlatina maligna within a month." In the sub-district of Camden-town, at 3, Wait's place, on 25th of September, the son of a house painter, aged 5 years, died of " tabes mesenterica (12 days)." Mr. Hull describes this court as "dirty and unhealthy, badly drained, and insufficiently sup plied with water. In the sub-district of North St Giles's-in•the- Fields, at 21, Alfred-street, a medical student, aged 20 years, died on the lit of October, of " erysipelas of the - head and face." Mr. Simpson mentions that " the deceased came to enter at a medical school in London, and, having taken a cold, applied a leech to his nose, which produced erysipelas that caused his death." The wife of a baker, aged 26 years, died in Leather lane of "enlarged liver and spleen, disease of the left kidney (3 years)." The medical attendant adds : "I made a post mortem examination of the body, and round the spleen and liver each increased to a weight of twelve pounds and a half." A market-gardener, aged 54 years, died of " rheumatism (30) years, carbuncles and abscesses (2 months), diarrhoea." In the thirteen weeks of the last quarter 15 persons died of carbuncle. Last week an engineer is stated to have died at 32, Dean street, Shadwell, at the great age of 100 years and 11 months. Two deaths of children, on which in quests were held, and which are now registered, though they occurred at previous dates, were caused, one at 7, Charles-street, South St. Giles, by diar rhoea, from living in an unwholesome cellar, and the other at 11, High-street, North St. Giles, by suffo cation, from inhaling impure air.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE, GUILDHALL. John Wells was charged with committing an as sault upon Matthew Gamble. The prosecutor, who appeared with a dreadfully lacerated nose and his arm strapped to his side, said he was returning home on Monday night, and while talking and laughing with a friend in Little Bell alley the prisoner came up, and thinking they were laughing at him, after sundry and divers threats of personal violence towards them, he struck prosecutor's friend, knocked him down, and while insensible on the ground commenced kicking him about the head and body. Prosecutor, having remained mae'ive up to that moment, then proceeded to assist his friend in rising, when the prisoner struck him on the nose, and, seizing him round the waist, threw him with great force on the ground, end grasping his hair with both hands was about to inflict further punishment, when the officer interfered and took prisoner away. ........ . . Prosecutor was taken to the hospital, and on being examined by the surgeon it was found that his collar bone bad been fractured. Wiltiam Chase said That while he was in conversa tion with the prosecutor the prisoner came up and, without any provocation, struck him (witness) a blow o❑ the mouth. He returned it, and the prisoner then knocked him down and kicked him on the nose with sufficient force to render him insensible, and he re- metnhered nothing further. William Barrage, 130, said he slw th 9 prisoner pulling the prosecutor's hair with both hands, and with the assistance of the sergeant he took the pri soner home. The prosecutor and his friend were sober, and bleeding very much abcut the face. The prisoner was very drunk, and bleeding from the nose. The prisoner was then fined 40a., and in default committed for twenty-one days to the new House of Correction at Holloway. BOW-STREET. A deputation of tradesmen occupying shops in Clare-street, Clare-market, headed by Mr. Scrivener, butcher, waited upor. Mr. Henry with a memorial, signed by twenty-four out of the twenty-six inhabi tants of the street, begging that the poor people who kept stalls in front of their houses might be allowed to continue their avocation. Mr. Scrivener stated, that the privilege of occu pying stalls for the sale of fish, vegetables, toys, &c., had been enjoyed by the poor inhabitants of the parish for upwards of fifty years, and the occupiers were, in fact, solely dependent upon them for the means of living. The police had from time to time enforced certain regulations as to the extent of the stalls, so as to keep the footway and road clear for the ordinary traffic, and with few exceptions these directions had been complied with by the stallkeepers. Now, however, it appeared there had been a general order issued to clear the street entirely of these poor people, who would be ruined in consequence. As it might be inferred that the tradesmen in Clare-street were the persons most likely to complain of the alleged nuisance, he (Mr. Scrivener) assured his wor ship that only one person in the whole street was opposed to it. Mr. HENRY wished it to be understood that he was not the executive in this matter. Complaints were Standard Theatre, in Shoreditch, stated, that during the performances on the previous evening his atten tion was attracted by a sudden uproar in the gallery, accompanied by terrific exclamations from persons on the front seat, and on hastening to that part of the house to ascertain the cause of the disturbance, he observed the prisoner, who had been drinking, at the extreme end of the seat, with a little boy, 13 years old, in his arms, and in the act of precipitating him headlong into the pit. The prisoner, who appeared to be determinedly bent upon his purpose, had suc ceeded in getting the little tellow's legs over the iron bar, but the boy clung with desperation to the rail, and screamed for help in the greatest terror, as the depth from the gallery to the pit was but little short of 70 feet, and if he had been hurled over there could be but very little doubt that he would have been killed. Witness, however, instantly caught hold of the lad, and succeede i with some difficulty in rescuing him from his perilous position, but he had no sooner done so than the prisoner made a rush at him, and after striking him several sharp blows in the face, declared with an oath that he would fling him over next. The prisoner then seized hold of him by the hair of his head, and forcibly dragged him down until the upper part of his person projected over the barrier, and he felt perfectly satisfied that his assailant would speedily have effected his purpose as he was on the point of losing his balance, if it had not been for the fortunate arrival of several other officers, with whose assistance the prisoner was at length overpowered and secured. Abraham SLannerd, an assistant-constable of the theatre, fully corroborated the evidence of the last witness in its leading particulars, and added, that as soon as he attempted to extricate Lambert from the grasp of the prisoner, who was at that time holding him down by the hair: of his head, and making desperate efforts to force him over the railing, the prisoner commenced a similar attack upon him also, and endeavoured to hurl him down into the pit with such an exertion of muscular strength that they were both in imminent danger of losing their lives. Henry Morgan, the son of a mechanic in John's place, Old-street, and the first object of the prisoner's violence, stated that he felt very thirsty during the performance, and, having gone out to procure a draught of water, returned quietly to the seat he had left, but before he could take possession of it he was seized by the prisoner under both his arms and assailed in the manner the other witnesses had de scribed. He was wholly at a loss to account for the savage conduct the prisoner had exhibited towards him, as the prisoner was an entire stranger to him, and he had not offered him the slightest provocation previously to his seizing him up and attempting to pitch him over into the pit. On being called upon for his defence, the prisoner, who had repeatedly interrupted the witnesses while giving their evidence, and assailed them with the foulest invectives, vociferously denied that there was the slightest truth in the charge, and declared in the coarsest language that the whole account they had given of the transaction was a tissue of falsehood from beginning to end. Mr. IYETNCOURT, however, characterised it as a most wanton outrage, and at once sentenced him to pay penalties to the joint amount of 5/. for the double assault, or in default to stand committed to the House of Correction for two separate terms of one month each, one to take effect at the expiration of the other ; and the prisoner, being unable to pay either penalty, was carried off at the close of the court in the van. C'LEI?KENW ELL. made by some tradesmen in the neighbourhood, and al►o by inhabitants of other parts of the metropolis, who wished to use. Clare• street as an easy mode of getting from the Strand to Lincoln's Inn-fields, but were at present unable to effect a passage, owing to the obstruction caused by stalls and crowds collected in that street. Now, a rece❑t Act of Parliament autho rised magistrates to inflict certain penalties on any and every person " who shall expose anything for sale, or hang anything over a carriage or fo.,t way, so as to cause an annoyance or obstruction to any tho roughfare," &c. ; and, in the event of any complaint being made and proved, the magistrate had no alternative but to carry out the directions of the Act of Parliament. This was his public duty, but he (Mr. Henry) might as well express his private opinion also, that these stalls in the crowded streets of London were a very great nuisance, although, when originally permitted, the traffic might have been so ;much smaller as to make the nuisance of less moment. The Act was passed, however, because the increased traffic in these streets rendered it neces sary. Another of the deputation (a publican) reminded his worship that it would be very hard upon these poor people if the law were carried out rigorously , against them, and the stallkeepers in Tottenham court-road, Somers-town, and other places (which were notoriously blockaded by them) were permitted to remain unmolested. Mr. HENRY had no control over these districts, but he intended to show no partiality within his own jurisdiction. 'With respect to the alleged hardship upon the stallkeepers, he could only repeat the famous maxim of Lord Ten terden, that "Hardship makes bad laws." The family of a drunken man no doubt endured great hardship when he was fined or impri soned, but their grievances must not be taken into consideration. The publican complained that he had invested his capital in the premises now occupied by him, with the understanding that the market would be continued as of old. The only persons who complained really were the tradespeople in the neighbouring streets, who fancied they were injured by their customers going to the stallkeepers. Mr. HENRY said it might be taken for granted, as a general rule, that people did not trouble themselves much about a matter without having some personal interest in it. Possibly the tradesmen alluded to had taken up the matter in this spirit, and, on the other ha❑d, it was clear that if these crowds were removed from Clare-street, it would be a great loss to the pub lican. However, he had no feeling in the matter. If complaints were made the law must be enforced, and the police could hardly be sanctioned in enforcing regulations for the management of the stalls, for that would be giving a limited sanction to the nuisance. After some further discussion of a similar character the deputation withdrew. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. James Smith and George Langley, well-known desperate-looking fellows, were charmed by Mr. Wil liam Frederick Nieve, engineer, of Pembroke-villas, Caledonia❑-road, Islington, with having been con cerned i❑ committing an extensive burglary in his dwelling- house. The prosecutor deposed that on Sunday night last he retired to rest wish his family after the windows and doors were carefully fastened. On the following morning, at an early hour, he was alarmed out of his sleep by the police, who informed him that the house had been entered by thieves, and that the prisoners were in custody at the Islington station-house. The place had been rifled, and valuable property was packed up ready to be taken away. Benjamin Goodwin, an active officer of the N divi sion, deposed that at three o'clock in the morning he saw the prisoners making their way over the garden wall at the back of Mr. Nieve's house. He immedi ately sprang his rattle, the sound of which brought other officers to the spot. Both prisoners ran away, but they were pursued and taken into custody after a desperate resistance, and locked up. The prisoners had entered the premises by a back window, which they had forced open. The prisoner Langley was recognised as having been concerned with others in a burglary at St. Pancras workhouse. Smith, another officer of the N division, said that he was on duty in the Caledonian-road, Islington, on Sunday morning last, at about three o'clock, when he heard the springing of a rattle and the cry of " Stop thief." He saw the prisoner Smith running and being pursued. Witness attempted to stop him, but Smith made a rush at him, knocked him down by a severe blow on the head, and ran off; he, how ever, go' up and pursued the prisoner, whom he over took, and they had a desperate struggle together, when witness overpowered him. Several officers came up, and, after a determined and violent resistance, he was secured and locked up in the station-house with the other prisoner. They both refused to give their address, but they were recognised by the police as being well known. Mr. Inspector Thatcher, N division, said that bur glaries had been so numerous of late in the above neighbourhood that extra officers had been employed to be on the constant watch after the thieves and the property of the inhabitants, which bad greatly checked the depredations. Mr. Wakeling, fur the prisoners, reserved their defence, and they were fully committed to Newgate for trial. John Puddington was brought up for final exami nation, charged with stealing two gold snuffboxes, value 1001., the property of the Earl of Lonsdale. Since the prisoner's last examination on a charge of stealing one gold box from Lord Lonsdale's v.si dence in Carlton-gardens, a second box has been dis covered in the hands of a pawnbroker, who identified the prisoner as having pledged it. The prisoner was fully committed. MARY LEB ENE. John Berrington, a cl.ergyman of the Established Church, and who has upon a former occasion been in custody, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with having obtained four halves of Bank of England notes for 5/. each by false and fraudulent representations ; and a well-dressed woman, named Caroline Clarke, was also charged with being con cerned in the transaction. Anne Richardson, residing at Denton-hall, near Grantham, Lincolnshire, gave evidence to the effect that, about five weeks ago, in consequence of an ad vertisement which she saw in one of the papers, she went to Rottingdean, near Brighton, and there saw the prisoner Berrington, who alleged that be was fitting up a ship to go to Australia. His wife and family were going out, and she (Miss Richardson) was offered by him a salary of 1201. a year as gover ness. He stated that the ship was to sail very speedily, and questioned her as to whether she had any money at her command, at the same time giving her to understand that he would allow her liberal interest in the event of her placing it in his hands. She returned home, and soon afterwards forwarded to him four halves of 51. notes, being all the cash she had at her immediate disposal. She requested him to acknowledge the receipt of the halves, but he did not do so, and upon her instituting inquiries she felt convinced, from what she had heard, that the Rev. Gentleman had swindled her out of her money. M‘Leish, 230 S, deposed to his having taken the prisoner into custody on the same afternoon (yester day), at a house in Munster-street, Regent's-park. Lockbury, 180, and Mason, 168, alleged that Ber riagton had for a long time past been sought after by the police, and that he had no doubt carried on a system of fraud to a considerable extent. If the pub lic was made acquainted with the fact of his now being in the hands of the law, a great many other charges would no doubt be brought against him. Miss Richardson further stated that she had made all possiblo inquiry with regard to the Diligent, the name of the ship mentioned to her by Barrington, and she found that no vessel of that name was known as being about to go to Australia. It was stated that the capture of the prisoners in Munster-street was owing to their having been in duced to go to the house through the medium of an advertisement, which it was rightly imagined would have the desired effect. The female prisoner had been for some time living with Barrington, and the latter, who had lately l►ved in the Borough, had deserted his three children, leaving them in the greatest distress. He had obtained 3/. upon one of the halves of the notes sent to him. M`Leish produced numerous papers which he found upon Berrington, and among them were some manu script sermons. Berrington denied having had any intention of act- ing di!honestly towards Miss Richardson, and said that he was actually in treaty with parties at the present time for a ship with the view of going to Australia with his wife and children. In point of tact, he intended to fit it out hiinselt for the conveyance also of passengers. The woman, who said she knew nothing about the matter, was discharged, and Berrington was remanded till next Monday. The case will no d.ubt be eventually sent to Brighton, to be dealt with by the magistrates there. WORSHIP-S 7 BEET. Charles Jones, eu n ttiletic, resolute-looking fellow, was charged with a series of scandalous outrages. William Lambert, one of the doorkeepers of the SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The progress of Louis Napoleon to the Imperial throne is no long.r to be measured by stealthy advances or puerile imitations of state and dignity, for his journey through the southern pro vinces of France has been so contrived as to present an apparent crescendo of popular acclamation ; the authorities already wind up their fulsome addresses and proclamations by the cry of " Vise l'Empereur;" and it is only a question of a few weeks and a few idle formalities when and how the empire is to be proclaimed. A more veracious chronicle than the ~Yloniteur, and a closer investigation of the real state of the country, would indeed lead to the conclusion that all this entbusiasrn is not quite so spontaneous and genuine as the French Government would have the world believe. At Valence and at Toulon the Mayors of those cities intimated to the householders that persons who neglec - erl to illuminate on the passage of the Prince would be mark-d men, and might even be subj-cted to fide and annoyance. At Nimes the cry of " Vine l' Anznistie" was so loudly raised by the populace as to elicit a reproof from the Prince himself. The municipal elections, which are going on at the same time, have everywhere bfen remarkable for the indifference of the people, except in those places (which are more numerous than was supposed) where the Government candidates have been defeated. The chief obstacle to the success of the opposition has been the disinclination of persons of note to come forward at all, since the elections have been immediately quashed by the prefects wherever they have gone against their own candidates. The most extravagant language and unscrupulous efforts have been em ployed by the agents of the Administration, who, of course, vie with each other in those services which may give them a claim to the gratitude or the favour of the rising power, and the Minister of the Interior has issued a circular directing that a strict account be kept of the amount of zeal or servility shown by in dividuals in every class of society, in order, no doubt, that their future claims upon the Govern ment may be measured by their eagerness to pros- titute themselves to its ambition. So vast a speculation on the hopes and fears, the vanity, and the apprehensions of a whole nation, cannot fail to produce its effect, where all the prizes of the State may be the rewards of obedience, and all the terrors of absolute power may be the penalty of disaffection. Within the last week one ship-load of political offenders has been di.patched to Cayenne and another to Algeria, by virtue of the decree of the Bth of December last; that is without any sem- blance of a trial. But, in spite of this double mode of persuasion, we still find scarcely a name of emi nence among those persons who have welcomed Louis Napoleon in the provinces, and it is b , the absence or silence of the upper classes that we can alone judge of what is passing in their minds. In France nothing is strong but the Government, and in the present state of the country the inherent weskne,s of private opposition is reduced to total impotence. It is diffi cult to persuade ourselves that in a country which has so often made the world ring with its opinions and its rights every channel is now closed against the utterance of truth : a man dares not tell his neigh- bour what he thinks ; to abstain from all participa tion in public affairs is the only refuge of the free citizen, and even that course exposes him to suspi cion, and he must be supposed to do and to be whatever it may please the Government and the Moniteur to call the opinions of France. The le public itself, which inspired the same terror, though it never resorted to the same odious means of coercion and falsification, was received in somewhat the same manner. In three days Marshal Bugeaud tendered his sword to the service of a Government which he hated and despised, but which he also feared. More than two months after the 24th of February the Re public was legally proclaimed by the unanimous shout of the representatives of the people. Not a voice was raised to denounce the imposture, or to expose the utter worthlessness of that fantastic experiment, for France accepted and ratified the form of govern ment which the immense majority of the nation abhorred. All that has since befallen her, the po sition in which she now lies prostrate, and the curse of a Government without law and without morality, are no more than the expiation of the gigantic act of folly which overthrew the constitu tional monarchy. The first and principal cause of the popularity of Louis Napoleon—a cause more powerful than the name of his uncle or the tricks of his prefets—is the horror and aversion of the French nation for the republican form of govern ment. Their politicians and statesmen rendered it ridiculous in the National Assembly—their Socialists and demagogues rendered it odious and formidable throughout the land. In electing their first Presi dent they thought only . of the man who was most certain to destroy the institutions which they bad weakly and passively submitted to, and the despotism of Louis Napoleon finds a people not altogether re , luctant to pay even that price to be released from the fetters of M. Marrast's incorrigible Constitution. These events have demonstrated that a nation is never less mistress of its own fate than when it affects to give itself totally new laws and to root up all pre-ex isting notions of right, but in reality to obey the im pulse and yield to the acts of some small body of men whom accident or audacity has placed in a dominant position. Although, therefore, we view the internal policy and lawless despotism of the French Govern ment with the feelings we have very frequently and freely expressed, and although the English press has laboured, not in vain, to publish to the world facts which would otherwise have been entirely stifled and unknown, we have never felt much sur prise at this course of events, and we even doubt whether after the catastrophe of 1848 any different termination of such a state of things could be antici pated. The proclamation of the Empire is the natural climax of this tide in public opinion, and in itself it is a matter of no more importance to the world than the proclamation of M. de Lamartine at the Hotel de Ville, or of M. Louis Blanc at the Luxembourg. All these Governments and potentates have pretty much the same foundation and the same value; and se only regret that none of them have governed well enough to retain the power he had chanced to win. We believe, therefore, that the revival of the Imperial dignity in France ought to be viewed just as the other evolutions of that nation have been; and we entirely concur in the opinion recently expressed by the chief organ of Russian diplomacy in the continental press, to the effect that the clause in the treaties of 1814 and 1815 by which the great Powers bound themselves to maintain the perpetual exclusion of the family of Napoleon Bonaparte from supreme power in France may now be regarded as null and void. That clause was intended especially to protect the monarchy of Bourbons, then restored in the person of Louis XVIII.; but, as that monarchy and its heirs have long since been overthrown and ejected by several successive revolutions, all of which have been recog nised by the rest of Europe, it would be absurd to insist upon a stipulation which has no further any object. It is now a matter of indifference to this country, and we may probably add to all Europe, whether a member of the Bonaparte family does or does not exercise supreme power in France. But what is of the highest consequence to this country and to all Europe is, that whosoever does exercise supreme power in France should recognise the territorial limits, and give us all the reasonable pledges and assurances of peace, which we have had from the French nation under the two branches of the monarchy and under the Repub lic. Eugland, Austria, Russia, and Prussia are the more entitled to a clear and explicit declaration from the head of the French Government on this point, as they do not hesitate to express their desire to main tain amicable relations with the new Government, and they are evidently ready to wave any objection which might be founded on the first article of the Peace of Paris, by which Napoleon " renounced for himself, his successors and descendants, as well as each of the members of his family, all right of sove reignty and dominion as well over the French empire and the kingdom of Italy as over all other coun tries ;" although this acs of exclusion was confirmed and made perpetual by a further agreethent between the four Powers at the termination of the war. But, in exchange for this mark of deference to the will of the French people, Europe has a right to expect from Louis Napoleon a full and complete acceptance of the terms upon which the relations of France towards all her neighbours and allies have rested for the last thirty-seven years, and of all the e ngagements entered into by various French Go vernnents in that interval. For the welfare of France and of mankind we sincerely hope that the second French Empire may be as pacific and prosperous as the first empire was warlike and calamitous; but the least to be expected and required of it is as full end I satisfactory an assurance on this point as such a Go ; vernment can give. There need be no unnecessary haste in establishing the public relaions of foreign States with a Government whose policy is obscure, if not suspicious; but the dignity and T he safet \of Europe require that before the principal Powers place them selves on a footing of familiar intercouse with another French Empire, they shall obtain from that Govern ment a distinct recognition of all those obligations which constitute the public law of Europe, and which no State can repudiate with impunity. CHRONICLE. —When Lord Brought on d e Gyf ford, then plain Mr. Hobhouse, was censured in the House of Commons for using expressions calculated to hurt the feelings of the Sublime Porte, he inquired whether Honourbai Members supposed that the Lon don new papers were laid regularly every morning on the breakfast-tahle of the Sultan or the Grand Vizier. When we and some of our contemporaries are accused of wounding the self-love of the French army, already sufficiently eager for a fresh trial of strength with la perfide 'Albion, we cannot but ask, in our turn, whether our critics fancy that English journals form an established part of the daily reading LAMBETH. James Cannon, the ruffian sweep, who stood re manded for his savage and murderous assault on a police-constable, was again placed at the bar, before Mr. Elliott. Sergeant James [lead, 5 P, said that he had called on Mr. Flower, the divisional surgeon, that morning, an d was told by that gentleman that Dwyer, the in jured constable, was not in a fit state to attend and give his evidence against the prisoner, nor would he be so for a week. Mr ELLIOTT—Have you seen the constable Dwyer yourself thii morning? S-irgeant Head—l have not, your worship, but was told what I have stated by Mr. Flower, who also gave me this certificate to hand to your worship. Th e Magistrate here read the certificate, of which the following is a copy c ertily that police-constable 135, Michael Dwyer, of the P division, is gradually improving, but will re quire a nother week before he is in a fit state to appear at the polio'-court. " J. S. FLOWER, Surgeon. " Camberwell -green, Oct. 6." The prisoner (who,e appearance is very much im• proved by his coofinement)—lt's very odd, your worship, that the constable does not attend, for I sent a friend of mine down to Camberwell, and he could find that he was walking about, and that being the case I think he might come here. Sergeant Head—That is not true, for I feel quite certain since he received the serious injuries from the prisoner he has not been out of his room. Mr. Flower himself told me this morning that D wyer got out of bed yesterday, and for the first time attempted to walk across the room, but was not able to do so ; and therefore the statement just made by the prisoner cannot be true. Cannon—l was told that he is able enough to walk about, and I thought as that was the case he might come here. Your worship hasn't heard the rights of this affair yet, but I'll tell you. I was stannin lookin into a shop windy when the policeman came up and told me to " move on ;" so I dar say I was a little saucy, when be makes no more to do than take out his truncheon and give me a lick on the back of the head, which made a long and a deep wound—look here, your worship (showing an extensive wound) — and I was smothered in blood. They then takes me to a surgeon, who sowed up the wound, and then to another surgeon, who ripped it open and sowed it up again. Look at my coat, your worship, how it's smo thered in blood. Sergeant Head—lt can he shown, your worship, that the prisoner had received the wound before the constable Dwyer interfered, and the first words he spoke to Cannon implied a request that he would ac company him to the shop of some surgeon to have it dressed. Mr. ELLIOTT remarked that in the absence of the constable it was useless to go further into the case, and again remanded the prisoner. SILVER-LEAD MINING IN WALES.--The attention of the mining interest is being directed to the mineral fields of Wales, in several parts of which new veins and workings have been opened. In Montgomeryshire and Merioneth shire very valuable mineral propert►es have been opened and are in full work, and there is every reason to believe that the lodes of the Lisburne and Cwmystwyth mines, in Cardiganshire. which have yielded such enormous wealth, are likely to be found in the neighbourhood of Llanidloes. Mining operations have been carried on there for a period of 17 years, and with good success, and competent parties have pronounced that the lode, which is 20 feet in width, is, without doubt, a continuation of the Cardiganshire mines. It is also said that the ore which has b , en hitherto obtained has been raised only from strings and offsets from the main body of the metal, which lies considerably deeper, and to work which advantageously larger shafts will be sunk. Tlw New York Literary World sap than " the in ternational copyright question between England and the United States is under consideration' at Washington ; and so thoroughly has the way been prepared in publ.c opinion, by a diligent examination of the topic through the press, that we anticipate no substantial and valid bar to its early settlement." The Chancdlor of the Exchequer returned to town yesterday, when Sir John Trollope and the Secretary to the Admiralty, Mr. A. Stafford, M.P., had interviews with the Right on. Gentleman. of French soldiers ? Setting aside the difficulty pre' seated by the language, we will answer for it that the few Frenchmen, resident in France, who contrive to benefit by our lucubrations, belong to the class which, if permitted to speak out, would thank us for thete., We wish it were otherwise—we wish that the whole el the French people, civil and military, could be made ac: quainted with the opinion which is entertained of their President's projects and proceedings by the best informed and moat intelligent persons in eveny quarter of the globe. But as this cannot be whils t , he retains the pow e r of gagg i ng th e pr ess , we must rest satisfied with upholding the standard of politics . ' morality beneath the pr o t e c t i on o f th e B r i t i s h constv tution, and with warning our own countrymen to he equally on their guard against his friendship and 1 0 enmity—his amicable professions and his threats. There are two distinct modes in which a mistaken 01 , perverted view of Louis N a p o l eon ' s chants er sou, career may be fraught with an i nca l cu l a bl e amou ntoi evil. In the first place, the tacit approval or the boastful vindication of perjury, rapin-, and bloodshe d —tor whatever end they may be employed—implies or induces a low tone of thinking, which has invaris' bly proved fatal to the permanence of free institutions . Any community which can contemplate the perpetrr tion of an enormous political wrong, or the foci oppression of a neighbouring State, without a flush° indignation, is in a fair way to become the victim Of similar outrage, and would richly merit its fate. 11°` is it merely a well-founded apprehension lest the moral taint should spread, that renders us reluctant to believe that the French have freely acquiesced in th e , new despoti s m. " I re j o i ce ," exc l a i me d Lore Chatham, " that the A mer i cans h ave resisted. Three million subjects of the British empire, so dead t ° every generous impulse as to submit their necks i s such a yoke, would be fit instruments to make slall of the rest." A fortiori, a nation of thirty-two gel: lions, in the heart of Europe, tamely enduring such' despotism as that of Louis Napoleon, would be fit ier struments to tread out every spark of liberty on th e side of the Atlantic, unless they were sedulousli watched, and timely preparations made to resist them in case of need. This brings us to our se c o n d rease' for protesting against the partial and false construe' tion so systematically put upon all the Prince Prei e V dent's acts by his partizans. The effect of the° misstatements and their sophistry, be their purp°, what it may, is to induce a danger ous confide/3e; in his dispositions and intentions. Th e E n gli' public are requested to believe that he has bee°' and is, the sole barrier against a flood of R e d R,epo.,h . licanism, which, if he were remov e d, mi g ht s peedo; re-enact the terrible doings of the early years , the revolution of 1789 This is about as true; that Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli have saved il l s devoted land from being devastated by " democrani d If ever there was a time when the Red Republican! , Socialists were truly formidable, it was in the spri e r ; of 1848, when M. Ledru Rollin's commissariesW e u hard at work in the provinces, whilst MM. LI, Blanc, Albert (ouvrier), and Co., were preaching i ., o organization of labour at the Luxembourg. what was the result ? The moment the French 0 0 tion had an opportunity of declaring itself througb e e i Assembly elected by universal suffrage, it pronoun c , decidedly in favour of what we should call Conserl cave opinions. The most violent of the dissenti s c i minority were crushed and decimated by Cavaigtt and when Louis Napoleon took the oaths as Ylv e l Magistrate of the so-called Republic, the majoritY the National Assembly was notorious for its mon chical tendencies. Tne real contest thenceforth e o , between him and th e l e ad e r s of that f amo u s " niely ray." He himself was th e c hi e f cons pi ra t o r from very commencement of his Presidency ; and theil; defined dread with which timorous people looked fle, ward to May, 1852, may be clearly traced to over intrigues and his well-known d e t erm i na ti on t o ove' llo ride the law. Apart from his illegal pretensions to immediate renewal of his lease of office, there Were no apprehensions whatever of an outbreak ; and ' 0 best mode of " saving society ''would have he e d not to trample on its most sacred obligations, to imprison or banish its chief ornaments, but s take ship himself—with his Persignys, St. Arne° de Mornys, and Maupases—for California or 0 10 enne. The plain truth is, that Louis Napoleon - 1A ads, at least, imitating the Imperial founder of!, family—has been guided, throughout every s h i fte d phase of his adventurous and chequered life, by P selfishness. He will stick at nothing to forward own interests; and the notion of his being restraleo by gratitude for kindness and hospitality received 4 England, or by personal regard towards Englisbni v y, is preposterous. He will attack us without scrncof, and without warning. whenever the state of Ws ,A, fairs require him to find employment for his tro o rii or to keep up the prestige of his name by a coif, 0 main. Far from expecting that the crisis averted through the influence or the statestne° B o o of the Earl of Malmesbury, we must confess that fears will be most materielly aggravated so 110 that incapable and s e lf- su ffi c i en t no bl eman she' 01 entrusted with the seals of the Foreign-office. is just the description of Minister whom unscrupulous adversary would desire to se t ,' such a post; for nothing would be more eas y t. 1 3 00 to hoodwink his Lordship by a little judi°lol flattery. The facility with which he may be 14 into a trap was sufficiently shown by his simplioitti c l assenting to the proposed extradition treaty, in WP ltl absurd and dangerous scheme he persisted unti l 0 true purport was explained to him by Lord BrougOs Under these circumstances, it most especially beh°, 4 l us to keep alive the national vigilance, and to colt) attention to the hourly increasing indications of 0 gathering storm which threatens to break upon „1 shores.
