JULLIEN'S CONCERTS—THIS EVENING, TO-MORROW, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY. There will be eo performance on Wednesday. Since the Festival given last year in honour of the great composer, BEETHOVEN, at his birthplace, the musical professors and ama teurs of almost every continental city have bestirred themselves to evince their admiration of that great departed genius, and have pro duced some grand musical reunion for the special performance of his finest works. The public enthusiasm with which these Festivals have been received, as well as the royal patronage bestowed on them, proves the estimation, and indeed almost devotion, with which the talents of Beethoven are regarded abroad. It has, however, been the frequent remark of foreign artistes, that in no country are Beethoven's works more highly appreciated than in England; and since the public in general have been enabled at a reasonable charge to make themselves acquainted with them, such a widely-extended knowledge now exists, that it is scarcely possible to conceive but that a similar demonstration in England must be highly and generally popular. - - - - - M. JULLIEN having at his disposal an orchestra of unrivalled talent, conceived the idea of producing such an entertainment as that above-mentioned, and on making known his intentions has re ceived from many distinguished amateurs and professors the most ensouraging assurances of support and assistance. In addition to his usual orchestra, M. Jullien has been enabled to add the names of several of the first professors, and has also the satisfaction to state that Signor Sivori has expressed his wish to take part in the Festival, and will for a short period longer delay his departure. THE BEETHOVEN FESTIVAL will commence THIS EVENING, and continue To-morrow, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, during which the most celebrated works of Beethoven will be produced. The principal artistes already engaged to take part in the perform ance, are, Messrs. Barret, Baumann, Platt, Harper, Richardson, Baker, Case, Lazarus, Handley, Jarrett, Prospere, Hill, Howell, Casolani, Sonnemberg, Schmidt, Rowland, Blagrove, Thirwall, Chipp, Stoepel, Hatton, Betts, Bay, C.

THE SUN LONDON, MONDAY EVE 4 NING, JANUARY 12, 1846 character. Determined not to swerve—either tacitly by their quiescense, or virtually by an actual with drawal from their party—from those principles which so materially affect their pockets, they convene meetings, devour dinners, and utter commonplaces with the assiduity of men resolved to attain an object, but at the same time resolved to do so comfortably. Within the past week this po litical epidemic has been extending with more or less violence through some six or seven counties, arousing in one place the bile of dread, and in others the spleen of disappointment. The most remarkable display, however, which has recently heen made in this respect was the meeting held at Cambridge, on Saturday last, and attended by somewhere about six hundred individuals. As a fitting introduction to the business of the day, a letter from the Earl of HARDWICKE was read by the Chairman, to the infinite satisfaction of his auditors, the letter being summed up in that interminable non sequitur of the landed interest—" Should I conceive any proposition made by the Minister in jurious to the agriculturist, and consequently to the community at large, it will receive my strenuous opposition." Assumptions or absolute as s everations like this arc nothing less than empty clap-traps begging the question, rather than submitting it to the tests of argument. But the quintessence of self sufficiency in this assemblage was condensed into an harangue uttered by the Hon. E. T. YORKE, M.P.—an harangue fraught with unwieldy at tempts at smartness and sage-mouthed declama tions of the strangest inanity. Among other instances of thii nature, Mr. YORKE asserts the object of the Anti-Corn-law League to be " free trade in corn, and monopoly for themselves." A stern, prominent, and naked declaration, ungarnished even by a syl lable of sophistry—a solitary and individualised assurance, based solely upon the opinions of the speaker. Yet were the barrenness and dogmatism of this aspersion greeted with acclamations, a result which elicited still evidences of the self-opinionated disposition and oratorical terseness of Mr. E. T. Yoaxe. After stigmatising Lord Join; RUSSELL for having written himself into the ranks of the League, he continues : " Lord John Russell was called upon to form an Administration, but failed, though he took fourteen days to deliberate, and Sir Robert Peel and his col leagues—with the exception of Lord Stanley—now ruled the destinies of the nation. He did not like to use harsh words (considerate Mr. Yorke !), but he could not help saying that he considered the whole affair as a political farce!" Such a miserable absence of all perceptive power on the part of a Member of Parliament in addressing his constituency has very rarely been witnessed. What the Edinburgh Review particularises as one of the noblest characteristics in the behaviour of the late Earl Garr—namely, a refusal to take office, when to do so it was necessary to " abandon a friend or desert a principle"—what every right-thinking man must esteem as about the noblest magnanimity of statesmanship, is christened by the lion. E. T. YORKE as—what ?—" a political farce!" And then, by an unconscionable effort at jocoseness, " he trusted that it would not be tragic in its effect !" So much emptiness, so much assurance, such lack of discrimination, and such lack of delicacy, is unworthy of the advocate of a class so numerous as the agriculturists. Nevertheless, these rhetorical deflciencie% are only commensurate with those few and diminutive arguments by which the agricultural monopolists endeavour to prop up a sinking and worthless cause. Whatever logical capa cities may exist among its advocates are eclipsed by an over quantity of obtuseness; still, this peculiarity is inevitable even with the healthiest matter. Nulla magna injuria sine mixtura dimentim. Thus, more especially amidst the debris of a question now almost annihilated, may be discovered instances of folly and insufficiency as incessant as they are worthless. With respect to the Member for Cambridgeshire, his mind appears to be pinned down exclusively to this narrow and pernicious principle—his deductions are as rash as they are flimsy—and notwithstanding the strangeness of his jolting and epigrammatic style, he stands forward the representative of a genus. With all earnestness of heart we can but hope for their speedy political extinction. We have received Madrid journals of the 4th. The debate on the Address in the Chamber of De puties commenced on the 3d, when Senor SEIJAS moved an amendment, the object of which was to compel the Government to adopt a more constitutional system, and take active measures for bettering the condition of the people. The debate was adjourned, and resumed on Monday the sth, and according to a telegraphic dispatch received at Paris on Saturday, the amendment was rejected by a large majority, only 32 Members having voted for it. The Gazette con tains a royal ordonnance, announcing that the QUEEN had accepted the resignation of General MANSO, Governor-General of Arragon. On the 3d the Three per Cents closed at 35i for 60 days. The topic of most interest in the Paris papers is the debate in the Chamber of Peers on the Address. On Friday the discussion which, as we have stated, commenced on the previous day, was resumed. The only incident of interest during the day was the re-appearance of M. VlLLzmaiN in the tribune. The Noble Peer de livered at some length his opinion on the ordonnances respecting the University, of which he disapproved. Baron COUSIN also opposed them, and after a speech from the Minister of Public Instruction in their de fence, the debate was adjourned. The chief speaker on Saturday was Baron CHARLES DUPIN, so well known for his useful publications on public works in Eng land. His speech, though opposed to some parts of the Address, was calm and moderate. He admitted that the situation of the country was satisfactory, the Ministry secure and supported by a considerable ma jority, the country calm, and the foreign relations established on an amicable footing ; but still he ob jected to that paragraph in the Address which stated that the Committee were happy to hear from his MAJESTY that the state of the finances was becom ing every day more prosperous. He then adverted to the Budget presented by the Finance Minister and contended that the security announced in th; Address was not well founded, for the Minister him self admitted that the deficit was yearly increasing. It resulted, he said, from the returns submitted to the Chambers that the deficit, which in 1844 was 371,000,000 f., had risen in 1845 to 396,000,000 f., and in 1846 to 421,000,000 f. This, he knew, was not alarming, but nevertheless called for a speedy re medy. He then referred to the financial position of England, and observed that a Ministry so partial to that country should also take it for a model. In 1816, after the war, the budget of England he said, amounted to 2,150,000,000 f. ; eight years afterwards in 1824, it was reduced to 1,425,000,000 E; and in 1844, it had still further decreased to 1 ,375,000,000 f. The debt of England had also considerably diminished, whilst that of 'France increased in a frightful proportion. The speaker, in conclusion, drew a parallel, entirely to the advantage of England, of the achievements of both Governments, and de scribed the extension assumed of late by the power of Great Britain in every part of the globe, extolled the admirable expedition executed by the British arms along the Chinese coast, showed the dominions of England daily extending, at the same time that her expenditure diminished, and asked the Ministry if they could boast of similar results, even to justify the increase of the public burdens ? The Marq u i s DE BOISSEY, after the general discussion wa s c l ose d , made a speech, in which he recommend ..e d the resto ration of the hereditary peerage. At the hour of post the Count DE MONTALEMBF T was speaking on the suffering condition of - 4 .ne Christian pop u l a ti on in Syria. We find no Additional intelligenc e i n th e papers from Algiers, The Presse publishes two ad dresses from. the Oceanie Francaise of Otaheits, issued by M. BRUAT, so far back as January 7, 1845. They are very conciliatory, and show that a new system of government has been adopted. They are as follows : " Inhabitants of the Society Islands, the King of the French, wishing to give an example of the respect due to treaties, has agreed to the petition addressed to him by Queen Pomare, and has decided that the protectorate of France shall be henceforward established isa the archipelago of the Society Isles. In execution of orders to this effect, the French flag, symbol of the exterior so vereignty w hi c h we exerc i se , i s t o cont i nue to fl oat alone at all the military posts and all the d e f en:i i ve points of th e i s l an d . T he fl ag o f the protectorate, :that is ei t e o u asy, shall fl a a is g pa o l r yd o e ta e li v e e i r te tll ,iquthaerteerthederwpiuthblie a Fret t itcah. blishments. Inhabitants of the Society Islands, if France in according you her protection, assures you without restriction all the advantages which you can reap in re posing under the shadow of her colours, henceforward she is entitled to expect from you a loyal and sincere friendship, in return for the benefits which she gua rantees to you. You will perceive that it is necessary to your interest that the strictest union should subsist between you and the military forces which France keeps up in those islands ; you - Will see that the presence of these forces is not only a right resulting from the pro tectorate, but an obligation which it imposes on France; you will observe, in fine, that your concurrence ought to be for ever given to the protecting Government, to faci litate the means of providing for your general welfare, the restoration of peace, and the entire accomplishment of this solemn act of benevolent solicitude which the King of the French testifies to you. The Governor, the King's Commissioner, regrets exceedingly that Queen Pommy, resisting all the offers which have been succes sively made by him and Admiral Hamelin, charged to convey to her the friendly words of the King, has re fused to come and participate, by her presence, in the re-establishment of the protectorate." In addressing the soldiers and sailors the Governor says : . . "In according her high protection to the inhabitants of the Society Islands, France desires them to enjoy, without restriction, the advantages which this protec tion ought to ensure to them. Henceforward it is a duty for you to treat with utmost• the mildness, and to consider as a new family, a population which France protects with her flag, and I have no doubt that each of you is dis posed to concur, for his part, and according to his posi tion, in the accomplishment of this solemn act of the royal benevolence." We subjoin miscellaneous extracts from the papers : " M. C. Remusal has been elected a member of the French Academy in the room of the late M. Roger- Collard. " When in 1840," says the Constitut;onnel, " the sum of 140 millions of francs was demanded for the fortifica tions of Paris, the opposers of the measure maintained that the sum would be insufficient. The expense was estimated at the double, the triple, and some even said that it would cost a milliard. The work may be con sidered as completed. and it is certain that the 140 mil lions will not be exceeded. Nay, it was with this sum that the expenses of the fort of Aubervilliers, nut com prised in the primitive plans, were defrnyod and in addition, several millions have been used in barracks at Vincennes, and repairs at the Val-de-Grace. It is just to declare that the employment of the army has not been without result, for not only were the soldiers paid less than common workmen, but they prevented the general price of labour from mounting too high." " The Councils General of Agriculture, Manufactures, and Commerce are advancing towards the end of their session. The Council of Commerce, in a remarkable report of M. Decos, has just pronounced in favour of the admission of sheet iron for naval constructions, free of duty. It has also declared in favour of the extension of restrictive measures fur the labour of children, in ac cordance with the conclusions of a committee, of which M. Schneider was the reporter. Amongst the subjects brought before it, a modification of the present mode of essaying the precious metals, and the substitution of a Government jurisdiction in place of a contractor, under forfeit for coining money, called forth a lengthened dis cussion and an approving vote. The delegate; of the towns in which mints exist, have obtained a vote ad verse to the centralization of coining in Paris. " A letter from Berlin announces that the Duke of Bordeaux has notified to the great powers the marriage of his sister with the hereditary Prince of Lucca. " Accounts have been received from the Caucast to the middle of December. The Kasikumiks, subject to the Russians, had driven away a part of the moun taineers encamped at Magall Mukark; a razzia of 200,0001 b. weight of hay was effected on the Tochet schenes; the fortifications on the banks of the Sunpcha were finished; Prince Woronzoff, in a voyage of inspec tion in Kakhetia, had received the submission of the commune of Didoe; and during the inauguration of a monument, in honour of General Guliakoff, deceased in January, 1804, he distributed the Cross of St. George to nineteen men of the Schwartz division. In short every thing was tranquil in Daghestan." On the Paris Bourse on Saturday the Three per Cents. closed at 83f. 15e. ; the New Loan at 83f. ; the Five per Cents., 121 f. 45c. ; the Orleans Railroad shares, at 1,263 f. 75c. ; Rouen, 1,030 f. ; Northern, 757 f. 50c. ; Havre, 780 f. ; Avignon, 987 f. 50; Vierzon, 707 f. 50c. ; Bourdeaux, 650 f. ; Boulogne , 565 f. ; Troyes and iNlontereau, 460 f. ; B isle, 257 f. 50c. ; Fampoux, 500 f. ; Spanish Three per Cents. 38 1 ; Ditto, Passives, 61A. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. , CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 6,000 bales, including 2,000 on speculation. The market was ♦ery steady, and prices were firmly supported. The statistics of almost every article on which the duty has been lessened, contrast favourably where bearing upon consumption, with the returns relative to articles which re tain the previous high impost. Undoubtedly if the revenue would permit, ten, in justice to the Chinese nation, ought to tie lightened of its enormous burden, though the first consi deration necessarily must be the better arrangement of the food laws. If encouragement were needed to persevere in duty reductions, the calculations of an experienced party in the City, to which we take the first opportunity of returning will surely afford it. They refer to sugar:— Imported into the United Kingdom— British plantation 225,000 tons Foreign free 1ab0ur...... 6,500 Deduct exported 1,500...... 5,000 „ T0ta1......... 230,000 ~ Showing an excess of imports this year of 25,000 tons. Delivered for home consumption— • British plantation.. Foreign free labour Total The stock on band in the United Kingcom, on the 27th December, we estimate at 35,000 tons (foreign free-labour included), showing a deficiency of about 10,000 tons. The advantages derived from the reduction in the duties are now manifest. _ _ . The importers have found their market of sale increased by 25 per cent., and their outlay in cash for duties decreased by 40 per cent. The trade, grocers, refiners, and dealers have had an in crease of business of 25 per cent., and been enabled to con duct it with a smaller amount of capital and risk than here tofore; and the public have been supplied with sugar id. to 1 1 / 2 d. per lb. cheaper than in former years, a saving in the aggregate exceeding 2,000,0001. to the consumers. There is rather a flat market for Stocks in the absence of extensive sales or purchases, and the impression that although the Government broker may be a daily taker of the funded and unfunded debt, the railway companies which bought in at a lower range will be sellers, serves together with political contingencies, to re press any tendency to buoyancy. Consols have been 94% for Money, and are now 94%%. For time the latter quotations have been current all the morning. On Ex chequer-bills the premium is 28s. to 30s. The New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. have been 98 to 97%, and the Three per Cents. 95% to 95 , 4. Bank Stock is worth 205 to 206, being relatively better supported than the other securities. M one y i s easy, and there seems to be n. parti,ular demand for it. The Foreign Bonds are a little brisker, but they do not im prove in value. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 28% to 28 3 /, the Three per Cents. 39% to 38%, Spanish Deferred 17 1 /s. It will be seen therefore that the Three per Cents. have just given way 1 4 to 1 per cent.

Extension MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DA- CORN EXCHAN GE-MONDAY. ( The past week's arrivals of English Wheat for our 0 1 1k n e g, was somewhat on the increase, but, comparatively sPeali of middling quality. Of Barley, the receipts wer e very 1arge,,,,.; those of all other kinds of grain of home pro d uc e small. .rnf; Scotland and Ireland very little grain of any descripion c:re to hand ; but the imports of Foreign Corn and ) If ur a ge seasonably extensive. Fresh up, from Essex, fait .av by quantity of Wheat came to hand coastwise, as w ell ea pa land carriage. Owing to the caution cvi ne uiA• the part of the dealers, most of whom were short t stock, the demand for all kinds of English we hence, was in a very sluggish state ; Ls, sales, the factors were compelled to give way in vales their ?" minds. We have, therefore, to report a decline in the of selected qualities of ls, and in that of other kinds of 2s lt quarter, at which amount of depression very little prop' was made in clearing the stands. The show of fine foretine Wheat was small, nevertheless, the inquiry for that aru was inactive and prices had a downward tendency, thougi_ not to the extent to warrant us in altering our cl u l tions. Corn under lock ruled almost nominal in va The supply of Barley being considerably more than to the wants of the trade, the sale for that article Ws'', excessively heavy, at an abatement in the curreueies from 1 s to 2s per quarter, and a large portion remained unso; at the close of the market. Although the receipts of 151 1, were good, the Malt trade may be cohsidered tolerably steady, at previous quotations. Notwithstanding the arrival u . ; Oats from Ireland, as well as our own coasts, were small, Al: the holders were generally firm from that circumstance, ill Oat trade must be considered inactive at barely *ices. Beans and Peas were in moderate supply and heal quirt' at last week's currencies. Flour moved off heat/ but no Jeeline was submitted to by the millers.

It appears from the Irish papers that the ATTOR NEY-GENERAL, rather notorious for a breach of the law, had instituted proceedings against the Nation, a journal regarded, we believe, as the organ of the party called " Young Ireland." The article on which the information is founded appeared some months since, and certainly is highly objectionable, If we remember correctly, its object was to show that railroads, so far from being an advantage in putting down resistance to lawful authority, or in repelling an invasion, might turn out the very reverse, and then showed how they might be broken up, and not only all passage along them obstructed, but how the rails, and other materials employed in their construction, might be used against her MAJESTY'S troops, should young Irelend, in some extraordinary fit of excite ment, think proper to raise the standardof rebellion. The Irish ATTORNEY-GENERAL probably infers that the violent language in which the article is written is put forth as a feeler, or as a preparative to ulterior pro ceedings. Possibly he may be right in his inference, but whether he is right in prosecuting the indiscreet writer is another question. In the first place, by in stituting a Government, prosecution, he raises the editor to great importance ; he makes him the leader of the party, an object which of all others, probably, he had most in view; he encourages the sale of his paper, and should a conviction be obtained, and a severe punishment follow, he will be regarded as a martyr and the only undaunted friend of the op pressed in Ireland. But he does a great deal more. The obnoxious article was circulated only partially, and admitting that it was read by thousands, and that it was of an inflammatory character, will the prosecution remedy the evil ? Before the pro secution it was entirely forgotten ; it was read and little more thought of except, perhaps, by a very few readers of a certain class, and, with out the ATTORNEY- GENERAL'S interference, would have sunk into oblivion. Now it will be blazoned forth in every journal throughout the United Empire. Every reader of a newspaper in Ireland, Scotland, and England, and France too, will study Mr. DUFFY'S theory of resistance, and he will thus be come a nine-days'-wonder to many millions who never even had heard of " Young Ireland," or knew that such a redoubtable gentleman was in existence, The evil will thus be increased a hundred fold, and for what purpose ? To punish the traitor, and deter others from following his example. But punishment has no salutary effect upon enthusiasts, it only rouses them to higher deeds ; and the more severe the punishment, the greater sympr.thy is excited among the sect of which the victim is the leader, and also among unconcerned spectators. It is admitted on all hands that the Reformation was more promoted by prosecutions or persecutions than by any other means. Christianity owed much to the same im politic and cruel system, and in modern times no sectarian, whether political or religious, was ever pursued by the satellites of the Government, without having his votaries increased ten per cent. Many of these fanatics, when their game was all but up, have made renewed efforts by violence to attract persecu tion, and would have rather sacrificed themselves in the cause, than eee their favourite system of regeneration die a natural death ; but all wise Governments have prudently kept aloof, knowing that extreme excite ment soon wears itself eut, and that the most cruel punishment that can be inflicted on visionaries and schemers is contempt. The Whig Government, to its honour, first showed how such men should be treated. The Tory parsons and squires, mad with vengeance for the long exclusion of their party from office, had recourse to language infinitely more daring than that used by Mr. DUEFY, and did not even spare the feelings, the honour, and the integrity of the QUEEN herself; but they could find no prosecutors, and in a very few weeks were over powered by silent contempt, and by the uni versal indignation of all upright and loyal men. The Conservative party have hitherto followed the good example. We are not aware that either Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT or Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK instituted one Government prosecution for libel, and why the practice should be changed now we cannot divine. Ireland never was more qui et. Conciliation Hall is the most dull place of meeting in Europe; and the Catholics are beginning to see that Sir ROBERT PEEL really means to act seriously in their behalf. They are waiting further results. The only association likely to be troublesome is formed by his own party, and the Irish ATTORNEY..GEZIERAL would be much mo re . usefully employed rotestan checking the seditious vagaries of the r than in hunting: down such smelt gum as Mr. Dvrrr.
