Si nger has 'been elevated to the see of Meath, it i s un d erstood that ho will not be appoint( d tat; one of tho Commissioners of National Education ; al d the vacancy at the board, caused by the death of Pr. Townsend, the late bishop of that diocese, still remains open, FRANCE. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday on yesterday. The strongest assurance of certainty prevails that all stock will be converted into one uniform Three per Cent. The Moniteur of yesterday does not, however, contain the looked-for decree to that effect. The C'onstitutionnel announces that great additions are to be made to the port of Havre. The harbour is to be increased, docks are to be established, and new works are to be constructed for the defence of the roads and ports. a: / 1 i:00 / u:f o r:e n : o t i tuefnoune the he es(scuniteolw contains ticteoehssnht i a haio sedtn nature, r c ir err authority ,te e hs e eeidit forbidding eri concession,ol bif7yies o) aeolrfl partnershipmo what everte :e Government. lease holdersTcorhnTPecuhenrse Chamber of Commerce at Brest has voted an address to the Prince President, thanking him for having given them the constitutive chamber they possess, and while calling on him to assume the crown echo the words of the speech at Bordeaux—the Em pire is peace. The Moniteur records the honourable testimony of the British Board of Admiralty towards Captaiu B s ll o t, the French marine officer w ho has Just returned from the Arctic Regions. The gallant captains own report of the endeavours made to find Sir John Franklin is also given, confirming the par ticulars of Captain Kennedy's recital. The same official journals contains a decree by which an extraordinary credit of 200,000 f. is appro priated to the church of St. Genevieve, formerly the Pantheon ; a second decree nominates the presidents of different mutustl aid societies ; a third gives formal authorization to the Crystal Palace Company, or Palace of National Industry ; and a fourth promul gates the convention with the duchy of Brunswick relative to literary property. The Pays has the following remarks on the subject of the course to be followed with regard to the Empire : " If the empire is to proceed from the suffrages of the nation freely consulted, it is to the Legislative Body that the right is reserved to proclaim this great event. We have already said that this was not a vain formality, but a 'rash homage paid to the principle of national sovereignty. The Legislative Body will not be a simple bureau for counting the votes, it will be the authorized agent of the people, to verify the correctness of the electoral operations and to proclaim the votes of the ballot. In this point, it view we repeat, the intervention ot the Legislative Body acquires a considerable political importance. This intervention has a character the more serious, as what now takes place is not accomplished under the irresistible pressure of any of those social dangers which lead people oeyond their own convictions. Violent revolution is vanquished, anarchy is repressed, and order is re-estab lished; the government which presents itself to the judgment of the people has not terror for its auxiliary. It is in the midst of peace and of general prosperity that it consults France, whose wishes echo in its ears from the thousand voices of the enthusiastic crowd. The nation acts in all its spontaneousness, and it also acts in all its liberty. It is, perhaps, the first time in the history of a nation which will have to declare itself on the na ura of its definitive institutions without having been constrained to it by the troubles of a revolution. In 1814, France bent her head under the defeat of our soldiers; invaded by foreign armies, she accepted the government re-established by the allied powers; but her choice had to be made between obedience and devastation. In 1830, France was subjected to a new dynasty, but the Kings of the elder branch had fled ; the throne was vacant, and her choice was be tween adhesion and anarchy. In 1848 a triumphant esteute drove Louis Phillippe from the Tuileries, but the red flag and socialism arose with the terrible souvenirs of 1793 ; the choice of France was then between the Republic or terror. Now let us suppose, which is a thing impossible—for it is the people who wish for the empire, and the Government adheres to the national wish—let us suppose that the majority of citizens declare them selves against the re-establishment of the Imperial throne, there would be neither danger for society, nor fot individuals. Order would not be compromised, and the government with its actual power and form would watch as energetically and as effectually over the general safety. It is, therefore, in the strength of her liberty and in the plenitude of her reason, that France is about to decide whether she will retain the present form of government, or re-establish Imperial hereditary rights. fhe government does not put this grave and solemn question ; it proceeds from the wishes of all the repre sentative of the people, from the acclamation of citizens, from the interests ot all classes of society. In presence of this unanimous declaration, the government could not remain indifferent and insensible ; it has on this point made a fresh appeal to the people, the only legiti mate dispenser of Sovereign power. But, we repeat, whilst so many other powers have been raised and con solidated by the fear of an evil which they might ward igainst, the present ono is founded and strengthened by ;he conviction of the good which it is to produce. In this solemn act of national sovereignty each of the great bodies of the State is to have its part. The Senate, the guardian of the fundamental principles of public right, has a situation defined by the Constitution itself ; it de clares the necessity of modifications of which the Con stitution is susceptible. The legislative power, the organ and authorised agent of the nation, verifies the votes of the people, and proclaims its sovereign decision. In our eyes it is a fine and noble mission that has devolved on it. If, on the one hand, it guarantees the sincerity of he vote, it is, on the other band, a striking proof of the confidence of the Government towards the deputies. Is not the best government that which reslizss the greatest amount of good?—and in this point of view, what pre ceding Government has done more, or done it more rapidly, than the Government of Louis Napoleon?"

LOUIS NAPOLEON AT THE THEATRE (From the Timea) itS,S s A it T p u aRiDaAbYy, theOCT. 2 President 3 , sr ias' I presume that th e vi night to the Theatre Francais must be considered as a visit of 4 . State." It had been announced for some days beforehand, and improvements and decorations were made within the walls, and everything done to welcome the Imperial visitor. The street was sanded all over, and the facades of this chosen temple of the dramatic muse was beautifully illuminated. The bird whose form and anatomy the Parisian ornithologist has been most familiar with for many months past is unquestionably the eagle. He has been exhibited in every shape and material—in wood and iron, in gas light and in oil, in pasteboard and canvass, in silk and satin ; and on every occasion, for he is never off duty. He last night rose with outspread wings, and in the midst of glare, with his usual appendage, the star of the Legion of Honour. To his right aril left were to be seen shields encircled with palm leaves, with resplendent stars in the intermediate spaces, and on them the familiar initials "L. N." Lines cf gas ran all round the building, and the light they shed turned the night into day. The Foyer displayed its new decorations, and the walls were hung with portraits of the eminent actors of the old Comedie Fran caise, and complete the series of the busts of the poets. For some hours previous to the President's arrival, the lower part of the Rue Richelieu had been crowded with people, and cries of " Vire l'Enapereur I" from without, when the second act was just commencing, gave note of his arrival. Accompanied by the usual escort of cuirassiers, the Prince arrived in an open carriage drawn by four horses, followed by another of the same kind, and containing the officers of his household. In that part of the street the pathways are narrow, as also the streets on both sides; and the escort drawing up in line, prevented the crowd from thronging his passage. The President was cheered on entering his box, which was hung in front with crimson velvet drapery, embroidered with bees in gold. The interior of the theatre displayed a pro fusion of tricoloured flags in clusters. The Presi dent, who was dressed in black, and wore the cordon of the Legion of Honour, was conducted to his box by the director, M. Houssaye. He was accompanied by most is Ministers. of M• • sters. On his entrance, the per formance was suspended for a few moments, but, on a sign from the President, 1 proceeded. All the pas sages in the pie which seemed c e ig Ciana, ou la Clemente d'Auguste , " to have reference to present circum stances, w ere tragedy was over , the applauded. As soon as the clad in wbitp, h -r, the curtain drew up, and Rachel, Muse of Histor e y r waist encircled with laurel, as the of the house dras:nare . ared, with the entire strength the stage was a flag, w p it h h ehind her. At the bottom of Napoleon imperial crown surmount icg the words, and bowing to the Presid e nt' s box, Rachel advanced, only can recite, the followin g t recited, as Rachel L'EMPIRE stanzas E ST LA PA IL z.

This is not so bad. The in come from the Post-office in the budget for next year is calculated at only 23,000rbd., " it being our wish," to use thf words of the ministerial budget, "more and more to reach that point when Post-office income shall no longer be looked for, but the whole be re garded as a means for communication and civilization." The University celebrated the King's birthday in the usual mnnner. But this time a magnificent lec ture was given by the Rector Magnificus, Professor Claussen, on " The Essence and Signification of Na tionality." Of course the circumstances of the times invested this eloquent harangue with additional in terest, and it was listened to by a crowded audience with attention and admiration. The peroration of the speech was a prayer for Denmark. Saluons, saloons, la fke universelle Que promet le travail et que benira Dieu: La vapeur entr'ouvrant ses cent ailes de feu, Et les sillons oii l'or do nos gerbes ruiselle !

After the recital of the ode, which was much ap plauded, the name of the author was called for, and M. Arsene Houssaye, the director of the theatre, was declared to be the man. The President soon after withdrew. Politics and poetry appear to combine very ami cably together; and the rural communes show a de cided preference for metre as the channel of their wishes and their prayers. The members of the Municipal Council of the classic district of Chazay d'Azergues (Rhone) seem to have made the same discovery as M. Pourceaugnac, who had spoken prose all his life without knowing it. They now dis dain their ordinary mode of communicating their ideas, and their demand for the establishmeut of the Empire is drawn up thus : A SON ALTESSE IMPERIAL& Louis Napol6on soyez notre Empereur; Depuis longtemps ce vcou germe dans notre ccaur. Nous desirous aussi, sauveur de la patrie, Quo l'Empereur Frangais soit Roi de l'Algerie. Sire, r‘gnez sour nous! Prot4g4B par vois lois, Nous benirons le nom de Napoleon Trois. Vous ties notre appui, notre unique esp‘rance, Yive notre Empereur! Dieu protege la France! Les habitants de Chazy d'Azergues. THE CONTINENT. SPAIN. Accounts have been received from Madrid to the 19th instant. It is thought that the Cortes will probably be called together towards the end of November, and a general bill of indemnity, or something of the kind, will be proposed, so as to legalize all the measures which the Government have enacted by decrees during the long period in which the legislative sittings have been sus pended. There will no doubt be a violent, if not a very numerous, opposition, which will refuse such a vote; and it is believed that the first opportunity af forded by violence of debate, ending, as it is likely, in a scene, will be taken advantage of for again clos ing the Chambers, and making the desired modifica tions in the present system. Some think that the Ministers will content themselves with a dissolution and new elections, but the more general idea is, that a curb will be put upon the Cortes, assimilating their powers to those at present existing in France. The Government have, it is understood, contracted a loan for the SUM of two millions sterling with the the house of Messrs. O'Shea and Co., for the purpose of carrying into effect the Aranjuez and Valencia Rail way. The Council of Ministers had come to the resolu tion of recognizing the Empire the moment it should be proclaimed in France.

The King and Queen of Hanover arrived on the 20th inst., at Stuttgardt, on a visit to the Royal family of Wurtemburg. The Cologne Gazette, of the 23d, says that Baron Prokeach d'Osten will not retire from his post this year, and that it is not known whether he will be succeeded by Baron Keller or Count Rechberg. Count Arnim is dispatched on a special mission to Florence, to interpose on behalf of the Prussian Go vernment in the affair of the Madiais. The betrothal of her Royal Highness Princess Anna (Charles) with Prince Frederick of Hesse did not take place, as was expected, on the King's birth day, but the ceremony will be solemnized in the course of a few days, and will be confined to the royal family, Court, and Ministers. One of the most prominent and not least respect able members of the Frankfort National Assembly, commonly known as " Old Jahn," died at Freiburg on the 15th inst., at the age of 74. He was the son of a pastor of Lanz, in the Priegnits district. The political trial at Cologne advances with all due dispatch. The proceedings of the 18th presented more than ordinary interest, from their being de voted to the examination of M. Steiber, Police Coun cillor, who attended in England on the part of the Prussian Government during the Exhibition, and in the course of that period was accidentally enabled to make important discoveries of papers and documents relative to the secret societies which had their head quarters in London. M. Steiber entered with much lucidity into details of great interest, corroborated fully by documentary evidence and admissions on the part of individuals arrested at Paris and elsewhere. Among these individuals was a man named Cherval, described as one of the chiefs of the French Commu nists. A letter from this personage to an e miss ary at Valenciennes, dated February, 1851, is charac teristic of the Communist doctrines. The following is an extract, laid before the Court : " What you propose is very good; bat I hold it advis able not to speak of murder in our letters. That is the medium for carrying our principles into effect, bat it would be hurtful tospeak openly of this medium. Excite hatred against all reactionaries, but do not preach this hatred openly. I laughed heartily when I read your article—" Murder all the clergy without mercy." Only think of some fifty head of this black breed, bound hand to hand, like so many sheep and calves, to be led to the shambles, and there slaughtered! In another letter addressed to the same emissary, named Gieberich, arrested at Strasburg, the follow ing extracts were cited :—" Our principles are simply these : all men (except the clergy and reactionaries), it is to be supposed, are brothers. Property is rob bery. All men have equal rights. The oppressed have a right to revenge themselves on their tyrants by all possible means." The letters containing these and sundry other passages of equal brutality were found in the possession of individuals arrested, and acknow ledged by them and their authors, who, it appears, were almost all arrested by a plan well concerted be mean the French and German police. TURKEY. According to correspondence from Constantinople of the 9th, an end is put to all question about the Turkish loan. The terms are rejected, and Prince Callimaki will be withdrawn from his embasay at Paris. A loan has been opened by four Armenian bankers, to which Ministers themselves are subscrib ing. WHO SHOULD REPRESENT ENGLAND AT THE FRENCH EMPEROR'S CORONATION? A writer in the Liverpool Albion, canvassing the claims of v , riuus parties fur the honour of represent ing England at Louis Napoleon's imperial coronation, proceeds as follows : It is not to be supposed that the present Duke of Northumberland will imitate the example of his relative at the coronation of Charles X., whereat the equipage and retinue of the Percy wholly eclipsed the attelage of the descendants of Clovis, his Grace literally shovelling out gold among the crowd, of whose language he could neither speak nor uuderstaad a syllable, to the great de rision of those who contemptuously pocketed his pieces. The present Duke of Devonshire was equally profuse, but in a much more becoming style, at the coronation of Nicholas at St Petersburg in 1826, when the princely Cavendish shamed the orient pomp of all the Baskir hordes of the Autocrat, despite their " barbaric pearl and gold." But who is to do that sort of thing now! and not to do it in this affair would hardly meet the ap probation of Hume himself, as, indeed. nothing does, for Joe has become a veritable porcupine of late, and his quill is ever ready to fly at any ono who says bo to a goose. True, there is Norfolk, who has the means, and is not at all deficient in the inclination to dis port the sumptuous liveries of the Hereditary Earl- Marshal of England in any Field of Cloth of Gold where there is ri►alry in magnificence. But, supposing the Pope was there, how would Curry Powder, after stirring up the Durham mustard blister of this time two years, taco the Pontiff ; or how turn tail without con tumely to the head of the llowards ? Commoners of the right stamp might bo had in abundance ; and in these days of industrial progress, who so fitting to re present the "spirit of the age" ae the genii of successful labour at the throne of one who boasts his eagerness to exalt and ennoble toil ? For instance. the great indus trial triumph of our epoch, the Exhibition of '5l, owed its introductory success, and consequent prosperity sub sequently, to the circumstance of Mr. Peto, M.P. for l i Norwich, guaranteeing 50,0001. towards the preliminary expenses at a time when, but for such indemnity, all the promoters of the undertaking, royal, patrician, and ple bian, would have shrunk aghast from costs which the least hesitation would have rendered overwhelming. The Prince and her Majesty have retained a lively sense of that truly-magnanimous liberality since, enhanced as it was by the modesty which kept secret the generosity. Last week he was summoned by the Lord Chamberlain to accompany, in his capacity of chairman of the Chester and Holyhead Railway, the august party in the inspec tion of the engineering marvels of the tubular-bridge and its accessories. But, with a nobility of mind which it is impossible too highly to panegyrize, and which is altoge ther beyond the comprehension of the mere herd of routine courtiers, he declined going—of course in the most loyal and dutiful terms—the reason being that he had that night undertaken to preside at the London Tavern Anniversary Dinner of the Benevolent Builders' Charity and would not break that engagement, even on such a summons, lest the institution would suffer by his absence, and those be disappointed who took tickets on the faith of his being present. His conduct in the chair was in exact keeping with the unostentatious independence and unaffected simplicity of demeanour that have ever characterised him. Though one of the most sflaent of men of the age —affluence acquired without the faintest imputation of sordidness, much less of over-reaching—and though his name is familiar in almost every part of the globe where vast engineering operations happen to be in progress, he thoroughly identified himself with the building business, properly so called. As a builder, and a builder only— in every part of whose calling he is a practical handi craftsman—be advocated the cause of the pensioners on builders' bounty, contributing 200 guineas as chair man of the evening, and 25 guineas annual donation, and 50 guineas from the firm of Peto and Betts. Liberal as these gratuities are in appearance, they fall far short of the reality in other shapes and forms, which he takes oars not to hare made known lest they should seem to savour of parade; but in cases where no professional amour propre can bo supposed to bias the purity of his motive, his gifts are on a scale commensu rate even with means so ample as his, as in the instance of the Asylum for Idiots, to which he gave 1,0001. in one sum, and large amounts repeatedly since, that class of afflicted unfortunates seeming to command his special sympathies, as shown by an institution he has established in the neighbourhood of his noble estate at Lowestoft for the novel treatment of peculiar phases of mental in firmity. It is men like this of whom England would feel rightly proud—if English wealth won by English virtues and administered by English self-respect is sup posed to be typified in the person of the representatives of our nation at the coming gathering in Paris, as was in the cases already cited; and if heraldic nobles cannot be found fitly to discharge the duties expected from their status, their antecedents, and the requirements of the moment, lot us have some of Nature's nobles, like the member for Norwich ; and, then, at all events, we may be pretty sure that we shall have no need to blush for the figure Old England will cut amidst the fungus finery of the mushroom monarch of the 2d of December, 1851. ITEALTa OF LIVERPOOL.—The deaths last week were 187, being a decrease of eight as compared with the previous week, and fewer than in any week of the preceding six months. Deaths in the parish 142, in the parochial wards 45. From zyrnotic diseases the deaths were 52, being 10 less than in the week previous; of this number 17 were from typhus, 10 from scarlatina, two from rn moica, ono From end 16 from ho wel i complaints, against 26 n the preceding week. Diseases of the lungs, with consumption, caused 56 deaths, a larger proportion of the whole than in any- week of the six' preceding months. A man, aged 31, died from excessive drinking. TESTIMONIAL. —Sir George Grey's Testimonial COM mittee bad, up to Monday week, received from Morpeth, Bodlington, Alawick, Belford, Berwick, Wooler, and R i thbury, the sum of 3131. towards purchasing a dinner service. S e veral districts, too, had not sent in their re turns. It is expected that the total subscription will be upwards of 4001. ELOPEMENT.—Lust week, a young lady eloped from Queenstown with a yo u thf u l li m b o f t h e l aw. Th e young lady, it is stated, is the daughter of a retired medical practitioner, and a lately made J.P.; and the fortunate young gentleman, himself a member of the legal profession, is connected with a firm in Cork, who are likely to take a leading part in the prosecution of the petition against Messrs. Murphy and Fagan—that is should its promoters persevere in their intention. THE RECORDER OF LIIILL.—OLIT new Recorder has passed the ordeal of his first appearance as a judge at Quarter Sessions with great credit to himself, and great satisfaction to the bar and the public. Though the cases to be tried were not unusually numerous, they were more than usually important, and were well calculated to test the discretion, the discernment, the legal acute ness, and the judicial ability of the presiding judge. Owing to the general desire to catch a glimpse of the author of " Ten Thousand a-Year" in wig and gown, the Court, during the whole of the sessions, was densely crowded. Among the learned Recorder's supporters on the bench, the most diligent in their attendance were the ladies, of whom the number present was unusually great. For them the wizard weaver of Fiction's web formed the chief attraction.—Hull Advertiser. ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE A CLERGYMAN.—The following letter has been received from a gentleman at Galway:—" As Mr. Seymour was returning home on Friday night last in his gig, on the road from Clonfert to Lawrencetown, a gun or pistol was snapped at him. He distinctly heard the cap exploding, and saw a man in dark-coloured clothes immediately run off in the fields; fortunately the fire-arms did not go off. Mr. Seymour drove as fast as he could, and reported the out rage to the police at Lawrencetown. The caso was fully investigated on Thursday, at Lawrencetown, before G. Fitzgerald, Esq., R.M., and the local magistrates. I understand that the magistrates have recommended that a reward should be offered by the Government. The Rev. Mr. Seymour was generally liked in the locality. He had been obliged to order ono or two processes to bo served for the coming quarter sessions." BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD RAILWAY.—It is Stated that the receipts upon this line are already between 1000/. and 11004 per week. The Great Western Cora parry have not yet commenced the goods traffic. About 40001. per week will be required to pay a fair dividend upon the outlay. The opening of this line has not had any apparent effect upon the receipts of the London and North-Western Railway, which last week were upwards of 40001. in excess of those of 1850. The mileage re ceipt of the last week of the London and North-Western shows an increase over that of 1850. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND GREAT WES TERN RAILWATEL—It I'S stated that the committee appointed at the Liverpool meeting, which was held a short time since for the purpose of promoting an amicable settlement of the differences between the above Companies, have had an i n t erv i ew w i t h t h e Euston square, and also with the Paddington authorities. MANCHESTER AND MILFORD HAVEN.—The plan for uniting Manchester and the North with Milford Haven and the South by direct railway communication, is now fully before the Welch people, and great interest has been taken in the subject. The projects are—first, the Welsh Union from Carmarthen, riA Llanidloes, Shrewsbury' to Manchester, distance 195 miles; the second, vid ; tth ; he minster and Shrewsbury, is 200 miles in rgn swestry, co 210 - third, vid Aberyswith and Shrewsbury, d miles ; the fourth, viii Lam Llngu In ri all these and Chester, has a distance of 168 inli e at t!, O projects the lines run into the Sou'ul Wales lin Carmarthen. ht t o expect the Rev.

[ADVE RTISEMENT.] Holloway's Ointment and Fills c ertain cures for Wounds in the Legs.—Mrs. Hood, re siding near Low Moor, Bradford, Yorkshire, was dreadfully afflicted with a bad leg, which was in so dangerous a state that the faculty declared amputation to be the only means of saving her life. A large piece of flesh in a disordered state came away from the calf. The wounds continued to inirease in site, and the pain was so great that she began to despair of obtaining relief until she commenced using Holloway's Oint ment and Pills, hut these unparalleled medicines have effected a perfect cure of her leg, and completely restored her to health.—Sold by all Druggists and at Professor Holloway's EBtaieligimenti, M D strand, Ludo. DENMARK. Among the bills just laid before Parliament by th e Finance Minister, is one empowering the Government to abolish the Customs line between Schleswig an d Holstein, or, in other words, making the southern Customs line of the Danish monarchy the Elbe in stead of the Eider. This measure, with all its risks, has been long looked for from the present Ministry. IF adopted, may it succeed better than is expected. One section of this bill is interesting in a commercial view ; it reduces the duty on refined sugar into any part of Denmark, Schleswig, Holstein,from 6rbd. 24sk. 1 to 4rbd. 668 k. per 1001bs. ; on woollen goods, from 66rb1. 648 k. to 50rbd. per 1001bs.; and the present Holstein duty of 80. k. per 100016 s. on the export of raga is extended to the rest of the monarchy instead English present oppressive rate of 2rbd. 808 k. per 100 lbs., t w e hich altogether prevents the exportation of this useful article to the paper-mills of England.

" Now comes apace the evening of the year, With all its sunset glories spread around, forcibly reminding us sporting mortals of the close ap proximation of the hyperborean season, and its accom paniments of hunting, coursing, and steeple-chasing. "The time of shadow and of flowers, When roads gleam white for many a winding mile," has fled, or is fast gliding away, and with it the sports of spring and summer—cricketi❑g, rowing, and racing. Newmarket's Houghton meeting will this week wind up what is termed the " legitimate" racing season of 1852 ; and to-morrow week tho curtain rises (at Worcester) for the winter season, upon the first of those reunions which have become so popular of late years, where the steeple chase, flat and hurdle race, play equal parts in the performance. But, transit hora sine snore, (which, roughly translated, means that the printer's devil wont wait) and, as I have but twenty minutes to dot down the latest scraps con cerning the Cambridgeshire, it of necessity follows that I must pay un immediate attention to that stake.

Torn Ta3lor's Babette, with Gladiole or Lady Evelyn to mare the running. Cleary's, Brawn ; Roger's, Pane& ; and Boyce's, Peacock. I have been gable to ascertain for a certainty what Dawson intends starting, although, I believe, Varmint and Evadne w ll turn out to be the animals. lam in the same fix as to Goodwin's starter, Musician and Divi dend being bcth there, and neither backed. In additior to those given above, rumour reports the probable stoning of Kooh-i-noor, Vermuth, Henrietta, and one or two othere, whose appearance is of little con sequence, a, they will have no influence on the result. Lady Apyott or Candlewick will probably also start; but I hair) received no definite information concerning them. The merest of the race will be confined to the money horses, tine in number, namely: Babette, Azael, Ephesus Hobbie Noble, Weathergage, Convulsion, Knight of the Shire, Hyacinth, and Alfred the Great. Th e l a s-named ought not to be included in this category, as h e las been treated with comparatively little cash. Bahitte, last Saturday week, was tried with Lady Evelyt and Gladiole, at the Cambridgeshire weights, and teat the Lady with most perfect ease by five lengths; Gl aw a a bad third. Lot week Azael won his trial very easily, beating Buttn'flY and Longinus. Cmvulsion was tried on Thursday, and disposed of Glaacer and Blood Royal, giving the latter above a stone ' ani w half, and won in a canter. hyacinth is reported to have been tried with Daniel °Rourke, and to have beat him. On Friday, Hobbits Noble was tried with Joe Miller, aid disposed of him with the same ease that Kingston ( id in the second October week. Looking at these trials, the race would seem to lie, for a certainty, among the winners of them; and if the place of honour is not filled with ComvuLsrox to-morrow, I think it must be by Azael or Babette. These three I give to occupy the first three places; Hobbie Noble, Ephesus, and Alfred the Great, heading the ruck. To those who may be fond of outside fancies, the hard worked ;Sanita, Father Thames, Dawson's starters and Brawn, aro worth trifling investments; as the present state of the ground might capsize the calculations of the backers of the favourites, it is in tolerable condition at ~ he present time • but should the rain continue all day, will be decidedly heavy to-morrow.—l am, Sze., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

She brings 320,000 dolls. in specie. The Franklin arrived at New York on the 11th, and the America was passed off Boston on the 13th. Advices from Vera Cruz to the 16th of September state that the political condition of the country had not changed. The formation of a new Cabinet was not completed. The President named Ledo as Mi nister of Foreign Affairs, and Palacios as Minister of Finance ; but on the sth, after a conference with the President, they declined accepting the appointments. Senor Aguirre had taken the oaths as Minister of Justice ; Senor Arroyo as Foreign Minister pro tern. A commission had been appointed to consider the Tehuantepec question. The Indians were trouble some. General Marin had returned to Jalapa. The New York Herald contains tha following in telligence from the Lobos Islands :—The ship Man lins, Captain Baker, of Boston, arrived at the Lobos Islands from Acapulco about the 12th ult., and was ordered off by a Peruvian brig of war. Captain Baker refused to leave, and was lying off and on, waiting the arrival of Commodore M'Auley, in pur suance of instructions from his owners, who bad let ters from Secretaries 'Webster and Graham,l of which he had certified copies. 'We learn that Captain Baker makes no mention of any other force at the islands, but states that there were two vessels loading on ac count of Peru, one English and the other American. Captain Baker sent this information to his owners by the English mail steamer, which he boarded as she passed the Lobos Islands on her way from Valparaiso to Panama. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, writing on the 11th, states, that the atten tion of the President had been called to a reported outrage on the American flag by the authorities of Ouba, and that a special agent was about to be dis patched to Cuba, in a Government vessel, for the purpose of inquiring into the accuracy of the rumour, and, if it proved correct, to demand and enforce ample satisfaction. Two weeks' later advices from Valparaiso , received by telegraph from New Orlean s , represent e affairs very s te promising.ad given The great satisfaction. newly qtablished monetary a s s ym had Government had sent 200,000 doll. to London to purchase a war steamer. Late advices from the Sandwich Islands report the prevalence of a serious epidemic at Honolulu, which had very materially checked business. The Govern ment had promulgated a treaty of reciprocity with the United States. On the 11th a run was made on some of th e Wa shington banks. The death of Mr. William Pitt Adams, British ' consul at Lima, is announced. The steam-ship El Dorado arrived at New Orleans on the 9th, with advices from San Francisco to the 16th of December, brought to Panama by the steam ship Golden Gate, which vessel had on freight tw) millions in gold dust. According to the telegraphi3 advices the mining intelligence was very favourabl3. The finding of several large lumps of gold is mo tioned. There had been some further movements at the mines against the Chinese, and a public meeting was about to he held on the subject.

Illustrated by John Franklin. Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell has just published a most magnificent volume, containing twelve line engravings from draw ings by John Franklin, illustrating some of the parables of our Lord. The text and titles sire en graved by F. P. Becker, and the entire work is 'minted by M'Clueen. Every possible care has been bestowed by printer and publisher upon the work, which is in-. deed, as we have said, magnificent. It is bound in a richly embossed crimson cover. The paper on which it is printed is the thickness of card-board, and the various parables which are given at length, are in. old English letters, and, like the ancient rubrics, in red ink. The effect of these various embellishments is most felicitous, but the great attraction of the work is, of course, the illustrations. The parables selected are, " The Merciless Servant," " The Lord of the Vineyard," " The wicked Husband Then," " The Faithful and Wise Servant," " The Sheep and the Goatq," " . The G oo d S amar i tan, " " The Prodigal Son,"ptves and Lazarus," " The Wise and Foolish Virgins, ' and " The Good Shepherd," the two latter having each a double illustration. The Good Shep herd is represented in the one instance, according to the lines of Pope— " The tender lambs he raises in his arms, Feeds from his hand, and in his bosom warms;" and in the other, "The Crucifixion" reveal s th e G ood. Shepherd giving his life for his sheep. The w i se an d foolish virgins are very effectively:depicted—in th e crag picture, while the wise are departing with their lamps ready trimmee, their companions are wearily rising from their slumbers, and wofully bewaili ng the want of oil in their vessels. The second plat e is a sadly significant one the door is shut, a n d the five virgins are before it ka the various attitude , ‘ of weeping despair, and vehement expostulatioy i . The "Prodigal Son," so often illustrated before, b,a s been very beautifully rendered by Mr. Franklin, rind " The Merciless Servant" is another of his happiest efforts. In this and many of the other Parables, our Lord is represented as the chief character, in the scene which he describes as the King who is shoWing mercy to the suppliant servant, and the Lord who is calling labourers into his vineyard. In some instances the divine features of the Saviour have not been por trayed with a sufficiently careful pencil, and in others the artist has been singtriarly fortunate. One of his, best sketches of character is, however, the Prodigal. Son, when he is pondering' over his position, and solving to " arise and go to his fath e r." Ve corm mend this very beautiful work to the admiration of our readers. LITERATURE. The Edinburgh Review. No. CXCVI. Longma n , Already we have, more than once, commented upo n the arguments set forth in the current political articles of our dtstinguished Whig contemporary. We have noticed the crochetty nature of the suggestions offered, for example, in reference to the question of " Representative Reform," more especially in regard to the Substitute proposed for the Ballot by the en-• thusiastic reviewer in the Edinburgh. Again, we have directed attention by the same means, to the observations made by the chief of the Whig organs when speaking of the results of the " Late Elections" and the prospects of Free-trade, as indicated by the position of parties in the new Parliament. Eight other contributions of various interest diversify the rest of the pages in the number issued for the quartet; beginning with this present October. Scarcely any thing could be more generally eulogistic than the paper—part critical and part biographical —upon. "Joseph de Maistre :" a fact the more remarkable, be,- cause the article is avowedly from the pen of one rj - io differed diametrically from the author of the grZast work "Du Pape," as a religionist. Speaking in one last burst of panegyric, of the masterly writings of the Comte de Maistre, the reviewer says that every intelligent reader must rise from their perusal " in vigorated and refreshed?' As a Protestant, the critic acknowledges that this great Catholic—J , aseph de Maistre—was " one of the clearest intellects 'of the age," and while dissenting in tato from the vast ma jority of his opinions, declares that he is tempted to exclaim, " Would that he had been one of us ! An instructive epitome is subsequently given—through the medium of a delightful contribution of the career of "Mr. Justice Story," one of the most enlight ened among the many eminent lawyers already produced by America. Every reader of " Uncle Tom's Cabin"— and their name is by this time, assuredly, legion—will observe with interest the gratifying mention made of the sympathy felt by Joseph Sbory for the unfortu nate negro population. His would infallibly have been amongst the number of those warm and gentle hearts that throb with a mingled sense of gratitude and tenderness towards Harriet Beecher Stowe. His principles, indeed, throughout life, were akin to those of Clarkson end W ilberforce. Ever/ one ignorant of the mysteries of " Japan , " should turn to the clever chapter upon that tabooed country here described in the _Edinburgh by one vv. to has studied well the scanty materials supplied by `he traveller and the Jesuit missionary. Whatever facts of value or of curiosity were already upon record, have, in this ingenious stricture, been collected toge ther and arranged with a considerable degree of adroitness. For further particulars, as they say in th e postscript of a commercial advertisement, see, not the prospectus, but the result of the humane expedi tion about to proceed against the Japanese, in obedi ence to the orders of the United States' Government. Alluding to the probable results of that undertaking,, the reviewer observes very justly and very admir . - ably— " The moment is rapidly drawing near when tb,o se who have anxiously looked for the opening of this sealed book may hope to hear more of the strange customs and fashions of Japan. But it is not from purely literary or fantastic considerations of this kind that we regard with satisfaction the speedy restoration of Japan to the comity of nations. The compulsory seclusion of the Japanese is a wrong not only to themstives, but to the civilized world. Every one is so far master at home, that the law of nations has been hitherto very tender of authorising a country to force its commerce or its society upon another. But the rights of independent sovereignty must be so construed as to be reconcilable with the great principles upon which all titles of property or jurisdic tion ultimately depend. It is difficult to entertain a doubt that, after so long and so patient a delay, other nations aro justified in demanding intercourse with Japan, as a right of which they are unjustly deprived. The Japanese undoubtedly have an exclusive right to the possession of their territory ; but they must not abuse that right to the extent of debarring a l l other nations from a participation in its ric hes and virtues, i The only secure title to property , whether it be in a hovel or an empire, is, that th e exclusive possessi on of one is for the benefit of all." Another reviewer, taking as the theme of his criti cism the remarkable fictions of William Carleton, est i ma t es , with no small amount of acumen, the me rits of that great national romancis t , i n a paper charmingly appreciative of his " Traits of the Irish peasantry. The gist of the whole criticism, for blame and for praise, may be summed up in the writer's indignant, but at the same time most enco miastic, inquiry, " Why will Mr. Carleton persist in spoiling his stories—to say nothing of the needless offence given to a large portion of his readers —by dissertations on topics which any fourth-rate news paper correspondent would handle much better than he has done, leaving that field in which he stands without an equal among the living or the dead There is much reason in this blame, certainly the fullest truth in the paneyg a s there A ! is most still graceful, r i i ind Ships of some what arresting paper on " Artillehry d Medici, " appear War," and a rather severe, thioeuge review of " Pardoe's Life of Mar ie also in the present number the Edinburgh the subject of the " Cholera elaborate statement upon number which is yet furtherodistinguished by en and Quarantine."

MACAULAY, M.P.—A letter was received in E . dinhurgh on Saturday, from Mr. Macaulay , stating his intention to leave London on Thursday or Friday next, on his long promised visit to his constituents. The right honourable gentleman, however, will not address any public meeting till the following Monday or Tuesday. Moat probably the latter day will be fixed,. as the Mon day is the closing day of t he serie s . on which public rill gious services are held in connect i on with the halr-yearly dispensation of the sacrament in Edinburgh. M r . Mac aulay will leave Edinburgh for London on the Wednes day, preparatory to taking his seat in the House:of Com mons on the following day.
