GR serva tive candidate for the li "EELEY as the Con representationlt of West this. Gloucestershire. We l ike t breathes so de lightfully of the truest and gentlests resigna tion. If it fails to g reet our se nses like aromatic e redolent gales of Araby t he Blest, it is at any rate of the most charm in g (and under the circu mstances, really, the most prai seworth y ) contentedne ss. For considerable time past the p ublic has not witne ssed r a a pl easan t e r illustration of what is known by the f eral liar phrase of " Making the best of it." Here i s a gentleman who has been totally—we m i ght almost venture to say disgracefully —defeated on hi s own ground, receiving a piece of plate in the pre sence of about 500 of his admirers, making a florid after-dinner oration, and altogether being so tho roughly glorified upon the occasion, that one might have fancied he had carried seven counties, instead of having lost one division. The plate thus ostenta tiously presented to Mr. BERIZELEY consisted, presume, ac scording to the reporter, of a " magnifice nt candela b" ^ for the purpose, we may candela brum"l ~ the O f reminding the Honourable Gentlema n light of other days " which lights by the way, the poet Buss tells us has faded with the fore g .s e . nerttlity, and has certainly in the instance be was, " 3 0 gone t out altogether. Although the tribute very course,ineppo well meant, it was unquestionably precisely th e Tr. Occurring as the dinner did at LEY had not succeeded, when Mr. GRANTLEY BERKE ceeded, it partook rather of the cha racter of condolenceto than of congratulation. Osten sibly it was laurel wreath resemblexl the conference of a whereas, in sob" P a : r a . a political conqueror, more like the bestowal loTis reality, it looked much tunate. However, i t we a r guerdon upon the unfor „Zaperfluous, not to say discourteous, to quarrel dis posed to put the best face or, their 1 "s se amiably ci discomfiture. We can only regard the festivities which Wednesday at Thornbur y , in G w irj h place on uh stershire, with took the feelings of amusement with which 1 gener a l. fail to witness the ovation of som e defeated could not . The Protectionist org an informs the that the proceedings constituted one communitya most enthusiastic demon strations of Conse rvat the feeling ever made in the county o f Gloucester." ,s 7 shall hear next, of course, of Vienna being illuminated on the a nn i ver3ar y of Austerlitz , and of the Te Deum being snug in all the churches of Paris by way of comm emorating the great sea-fight off Cape Tra falgar. So that the banquet given to the Hun. GRANTLEY.abt!.O de- BERKELEY Will " o ne o f t h e mos t enthil•l ruonstrations of Conservative feeling ever made in the county of Glouce s t er 1" ~ e suppose it wa s thus w enthusiastic because Mr .KINGSCOTE, the Liberal can didite, headed the poll for West Gloucestershire by :;,528 votes at tliA last general election ? Or perhaps it. was because Mr. HALE, the Conservative candi date, who was first in 1847 by four thousand and odd, was in 1852 only second, with merely two thou sand and upwards of supporters ? Or perhaps it was because Mr. BanxELEY himself, who polled in 1847 more than 2,70 t, polled in 1852 very little more than' THE SUN, 2,loo—and was therefore defeated? Possibly the 500 gentlemen who on Wednesday evening were munching cold tongue and swilling in diffrent wine a*, Thornburg, in honour of Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY, and with so much oat lusiasto in behalf of Conservative principles, consented to sacrifice their personal feelings in this manner, be cause in the capital of the county Mr. HOPE, the Tory, was defeated by Mr. PRICE, the Liberal. Unless the banquet derived its ardour from one or other of these reasons, w e cannot conjecture why Mr. BERKELEY'S defeat should have excited such evident delight among his supporters, or why, of all places in the United Kingdom, the Conservatives should have selected for this most enthusiastic demonstration the western division of the good old county of Glou cester. If the 500 gentlemen assembled together at Thorn bury, in honour of the 1 defeated gentleman,disp l aY ed a rather remarkable (and, everything considered, a somewhat unaccountable) degree of ardour in their manner of conducting the proceedings —the 1 defeated gentleman emulated in a very laudable way the fervour with which the 500 gentlemen had met to exult in the name of a conquered candidate in the cause of Protection. Seldom can the Hon. GEANTLEY BERKELEY have been in greater feather than on this singularly auspicious occasion, when he was felicitated upon his being placed in a minority for West Gloucestershire. The Hon. Gentleman seems indeed to have been quite cock-whoop. Re ferring to some remark said to have been made some where, at some time or another, by Mr. PRICE, Mr. BERKELEY civilly observed that if Mr. PRICE said so and so he (Mr. PRICE) was guilty of—a.hem [coolly and without mincing the matter in the least] ...." a falsehood !" We believe Mr. PRICE is no poacher —and yet, figuratively speaking, he has decidedly yernoticeable likes ondr com e in for " a punch on the head" after the most approv ed fashion of the Hon. GRAN TLEY BERKELEY. We wonder how PRICE peculiarity y BERKE LEY'S address to his admirers at Thornbury—and a wonderfully characteristic peculiarity it is too—is the variety of his family allusions. MATHEWS the elder was not more frequently "at home" with his au dience than Mr. GRANTL EY BERKELEY. The Hon. Gentleman talks of "his brother HENRY," the M.P. for Bristol, from behind a public dinner table (with the tickets at so much a head) as familiarly and confidentially as though he were lounging in his dressing-gown and slippers. He might as well have talked about " My son John, With one shoe off And one shoe on"— for any light that his allusions to "my brother HENRY" could throw on any of the great political questions of the age. However, we may reasonably conjecture that the effect was not precisely as unsatis factory to the " good men and true" sitting round the mahogany at Thornbury. The family revela tions, coming to them pleasantly after the " pippins and cheese," must have been " nuts" to them, cum grano salis—delightful to daily with while sipping " old crusted" at 48s. per dozen. For spinning a good, tough, political, after-dinner yarn—give us the lion. GRANTLEY BERKELEY ! The Chambers of Commerce, throughout the coun• try, have it in their power to effect a great deal of good. They can collect and concentrate a vast quan tity of information possessed by individuals, and can digest and arrange it, by reason of their practical knowledge and experience. A merchant, a manufac turer, an agent, or a shipper, knowing " where the shoe pinches," may yet be unable individually to bring this knowledge to bear for the relief of what annoys, injures, or impedes him. Laid before a number of other practical men, associated together for the general good, his information is deliberated upon and discussed—so that, if any good result can be worked out of it, that result follows. Representa- tions from these commercial associations are received with great attention by the Board of Trade, the members of which, not being practically acquainted with trade and commerce, naturally look for infor mation from those who are. Ia all the principal business towns and cities in the United Kingdom there are now chambers of commerce, and they cer tainly effect a great deal, not only for their respective localities, but for the general good. Their periodical reports are very interesting, and worthy of annual collection as a re-publication. A special meeting of the Belfast Chamber of . Commerce was held, on Saturday week, to receive a Memorial to Government (prepared by direction of a previous meeting) on the subject of reciprocity with France in re gard to the duties on wine. A Committee of the Chamber at the same time reported, that " the con sumption of French wines has diminished to a mere fraction, in consequence of the heavy duty on its importation. In 1687, with a duty of about 41 per gallon, the consumption of French wines, in England , alone, was 15,518 tuns, or n early 4,000 000 gallons, although the population was then under 6,000,000 of souls. At the present time , in Great Britai n and Ireland, with a population o f 27,619,866, the con sumption of French wines averages about 300,000 gallons, and of all descriptions of wines only about 6,250,000 gallons. Ilad the consumption of French wines continued at nearly the same per head as in 1687, our population would now use 19,000,000 gallons per year, in place of 300,000; but if we con sider the wealth of the kingdom now, as compared with the former period, we may reckon the consuming power of the country at 20,000,000 to 30,000,000 gallons. The average export value of the wines sent from France to Great Britain is 10 francs per gallon ; while the export value of what is exported to Ger many is only one franc per gallon. This fact proves that only the wealthy in Great Britain are consumers of French wines, and that the great bulk of the middle and humbler classes are precluded from its use. The reduction of the duty to ls. per gallon, if v ernment, would be most desirable. The class o reciprocal advantage be granted by the French Go. small coasting vessels which the wine trade would employ, would ma t er i a lly benefit that portion of the shipping interest at present suffering from competi tion with steamers. The revenue, instead of dimi nishing, would, in a few years, be augmented, by the enormously increased consumption, and the mass of the peeple Would be enabled to use a wholesome beverage, in place of the dangerous or doubt ful stimulants to the use of which they are no w restricted." The Report further stated t h a t " the prohibit ory duties imposed by France on the textile goods of Great Britain and Ireland has it has not, i n an equal ratio, increas ed the cost of linen an d cotton fabrics to the French consumer,whilst b e nefited the French invariablymanufact riurcearr,asd trades artifi dally • supported are skill than when exposed ton with lees econom y and healthful competition. Linen in France costs f rom 40 to 50 thecausedprohi bitory enhanced cost of this one artic.e , s mall duty of 10 to 15 from the co mparativ l e "a proposition loses a handsome reven ue, 1 s t a tes that 1Y which they formerly de rived percent. "_ The Report fins. y from our Government to adroit French linenwines , cottoat a n, and duty, in consideration that our woollen yarns, and woven fabrice, o btained equal ad low vantages from the Government of F rance , would likely meet with a favourable response ; and there is no doubt that the happiness and wealth of both countries would be much promoted by such an ar rangement." Accordin g ly, a M emor i a l, f oun d e d on this Report, has been sent to our Government, and it is backed by a resolution that a reduction of the duty of French wines would be desirable, if the Government of France would' as an Equivalent, admit th e manu fac- Itures of Great _Britain and Ireland at a corresponding reduction. Tne Memorial expresses a belief that Prance would now be inclined to grant this recipro city—that not only would there be a great export from Ireland to France of linen and linen yarns (nearly shut out by the almost prohibitory duties which LOUIS PIIILIPPU imposed, by way of " Pro tection," -") in 1,a.,, , but th at t h e manu f ac t u r e an d em broidery of muslins—largely - carried on in Ulster —wo uld hence be much increased if they were mod a dmitted into France at erate duties—and that the reduction, in the United Kingdom, of the duties on wine, from ss. Gd. to Is. per gallon, would serve, LOW DON, rather than injure, our revenue, by the greatly in creased consumption which may be anticipated. The Belfast Mercantile Journal, commenting on this last expectation, has the following, which is worthy of being known. " There is no country in 1 the w s ay s the Journal, " where drunkenness, and all " the m iseries and crimes attendant upon it, ord prevail to such a lamentable extent as in our own ; for we find, from statistical authority, that the con gumption of spirits is nearly a gallon yearly, for every man, woman, and child, which, i n d e p en d en t of large quantities illicitly made, is four times the quantity, and five times the revenue, derived from wines. For this paramount reason we are strong advocates for the reduction of the w i ne duty to such a rate as will bring it within the reach of the ' masses. A close investigation into the economy of wine drinking countries' will convince us that the people of these localities are much more temperate in their habits than where strong drinks are used. A reduc tion of duty to is. would still be 50 to 100 per cent* on the cost of much that would be imported, and a higher rate of duty would prevent that full expansion of the trade which cheapness alone would produce. The proportion of the wine drank in Paris is 216 bottles per man per annum ! If, then, we had wine as cheap as the Parisians—although it would be long before we should average 216 bottles—it may surely be assumed that, during the very first year of cheap ness, we should reach 12 bottles, or 2 gallons, per man, per annum, which, with our present population, would be equal to 54,618,692 gallons, producing, at ls. per gallon duty, a revenue of 2,730,9341., or an increase upon the present amount realised of 953,6751. excluding port, the price of which is artificiallykept up." All this is clear enough, and shows that, in a finan cial point of view, the reduction of the wine duties would not involve any ultimate loss to the revenue. The question is—bow and when should the reduc tion take place ? By the remission of the duty on the importation of corn into the United Kingdom few countries have benefited so largely as France. On the other hand, France has done nothing for us in return. We believe that France is well inclined to take what it can get—to return no equivalent. What, then, should be done ? Mr. DISRAELI has plainly said that, except on the basis of reciprocity, the Government will not dream of admit ting French wines at reduced duties. What will France do ? LOUIS NAPOLEON is under stood to be most desirous of carrying into ope ration, in France, the principle of Free-trade. But the manufacturers of France are disinclined to this. Like our own agriculturists, they cling to Protec tion. And so France is to have dear linens, and yarns, and muslins, with vile cutlery, and Great Britain is not to have cheap and wholesome wine in stead of fiery and unwholesome spirits. We candidly confess that we have no great expec tation of any concession in commerce from France, unless with the certainty of gain to Our Government, we are c on fid en t, will not her. reduce the wine duties, i n th e vague an d vain hope that Franc e , by an d by e , will amen d her hostile tariff. But we are glad, neverthe less, that the commercialists of Belfast, by far the most energetic and rising town in Ireland, have de cided on bringing the question in a tangible form before the Government. We should be glad to see other towns follow this example, as it will make out a case on which Ministers can make a proposition to France for reciprocal reduction of duties. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterd ay. " The Government," says the Patrze , " received again yesterday, by telegraph, the addresses of the Councils-General. The number of these addresses i s at present forty-nine. They are all conceived in the same spirit of enthusiasm for the PRINCE PRESIDENT, and are filled with hearty wishes for the consolidation of his power." We read in the same journal—" It was impossible to mistake the sentiments by which, on the 15th, the population of Paris and the National Guard were ani mated when the latter filed off before the PRINCE PRESIDENT. Thousands of spectators can testify this. Some foreign journals, however, in spite of this striking fact, speak in their columns of lukc warmness and indifference on the part of the people, and of discontent on the part of the Chief of the State. We will reply to these journals by giving them a piece of advice—to have better-informed corres pondents." The Moniteur publishes the speech of General MAGNAN as President of the Council- General of the Bas-Rhin, at the opening of the session of that body. After expressing his gratitude to the PRINCE PRESIDENT for his new proof of confi dence in appointing him President of the Coun cil-General of the department, General MAGNAN made the following important communication :—H e sa id , " Yesterday on my taking leave, the PRINCE told me that he was engaged on a measure for a strong and solid reserve of the army, which without compromis ing the respect and dignity of Fran ce w ill perm it him to realize the reductions that he desires in the taxes." We are assured," says the Patrie, " that news have arrived from San Francisco, which represent the situation of the French, and especially that of the emi grants of the Lottery of Gold Ingots, in a favourable light. A great number of the latter, well advised, had commenced agricultural labours, i n w hi c h th ey per fectly succeed. T hey have founded at about 30 m il es from the port, in a very excellent and fertile country, a new town which has received the name of Napoleon City, and which appears destined to attain a grea t degree of prosperity." General HAYNAU has arrived in Paris. Reports were yesterday in circulation (says the Pays) of a change in high military commands. It was stated that General DE CASTELLANE, COM mander-in-Chief at Lyons, was about to succeed General GEMEAU in the command of the Army of Occupation at Rome, and be replaced at Lyons by General CARRELET. The Government has received the following tele graphic dispatch : " Bordeaux, August 24, half-past three p.m. "THE MINISTER OF WAR TO THE MINISTER OF MARINE, "The review of the garrison has just taken place in admirable order. The troops filed off to the cry of Vivo Napoleon!' The whole population was present, and the spirit which animated it was excellent. The re ception thus give❑ to oue of the Prince's Ministers has an evident signification." We read in the Pays- 1 ' The texts of the two conventions concluded and signed on Sunday last be tween France and Belgium were yesterday sent to the Belgian Government, by a superior employe of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ratification of the two conventions will take place at the opening of the Belgian Parliament, which cannot fail to wel come these stipulations, which are the prelude of the conclusion of a more extended treaty on the exchange of the productions of the two countries." The Constitutionnel, alluding to the announcement made by General MAUNAN Of the PRINCE PRESIDENT being engaged on a plan for an army of reserve, with a view to reduce the standing army, and thus affect an important reduction of taxation, says " The respectful wishes expressed by the Committee on the Budget in the first session of the Legislative Body, and which we repeated in our article on the finances—after showing, however, that the Chief of the State was the best and only judge in the question of the reduction of the effective of the army—these wishes expressed on behalf of agriculture, property, ma nufactures, and commerce, have been heard by the tp _r ao i e n i c a e e P tu r t e u s r id e e f t l o ,r f a t u. h c o e.

The day after the Governor gave grand banquets to the authorities; and to deput ations of the different regiments. The Union his a short article on the declarations of the councils of arrondissement in favour of a fixed and permanent system of government. It says— " It is then admitted that society has coed of stabi lity; and this is our opinion: that stability does not exist in constitution and in t ransit o ry and artificial au thority, and this is also our opinion. Here are two grand points gained for our p olic y . l y e will leave to T rrovide nce t o produce in events the a pp lication of po litical t rut h s. Power is abo ve the will of ra m ; What suffices for us, is that France declares that order cannot exist with instability. To protest against error 15 a lready a useful reparation." The jour na l s of Chal on - s ur-Saone of Tuesday state rninAy that more heavy rains had fallen, and that the inun dations continued. The crops of wheat and oats not got in have been greatly. damaged; tie straw has be come black, and the grain has germinated, or is so bad that it will yield scarcely anything. In the val ley of the Oisans, department of the I-ere, inunda tions have destroyed the crops. Upwards of 2,000 persons are there reduced to the most profound distress. Five persons who had been condemned for political offences in the Meurthe, MAr. -- L ouis, CossoN, RA. CINE, RAMAT, and PAILLER, have had their punish ments commuted by the PRINCE PRESIDENT on the occasion of the national fete of the 15th. Father B E RTRAND, formerly m i ss i onary o f th e Je suits at Constantinople, has been named superior of the new institution of Jesuits at Vaugirard. Th e expense of the line of rail wa y fr om Bordeaux to Cette, the concession of whi c h h as j us t b een made by the Government is estimated, say s the Constitu tionnel, at 140 millions, of which 35 millions are given by the State, and the company is to furnish the rest. In order to . procure the necessary sum, the company is authorized to issue 60 millions of shares, and 40 millions of bonds. The State guarantees 4 per cent. on this sum for fifty years. F ro m the .statistical documents collected, the is expect e d to produce a net return n g o f about e 4 1 :770,000f. , to which must be added the revenue from the canal, estimated at 850,000 f. The annual revenue would consequently be 5,580,000 f , which represent a n interest of 51 per cent. on the 100 m illions placed at th e c h arge o f t h e company . The subvention of 35 millions made by the State is to be divided over the five or six years, which will be occupied in the construction of the line, so that the State will orly incur an annual sacrifice of from fivetosix millions.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday wore esti mated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 were taken on spe culation. There was a good demand from speculators , and prices of American were extreme as compared with the rates of Friday last. Egyptian were d. lower, and other kinds without alteration. The sales comprised 6,500 American, 750 Egyptian at 6d. to 9d., 400 Surat at 3id. to 4:le. , and 40 Sea Island at ls. 7d. to Is. 9d. per lb.—ln Railway Shares a fair business was done at higher prices. In the produce markets, this week, Coffee has realised somewhat fuller prices. Sugar has been rather cheaper, and holders have offered very little at the public sales. Rice has given way a little. Spices generally have been firm; in Cotton there bas not been much doing, Tallow has been quint, and Tea has tended upwards. Jute has been in fair demand, and Hemp at previous rates. It must be noted as a gratifying circumstance that the letters received from the agricultural districts con cerning the crops are of a more cheerful tone within the last few days, and admitting that there has been mis chief done, no reasonable fear is entertained that the harvest will prove below an average for wheat, should the weather continue to hold up. Of the potato disease, likewise, we hear very little now, and at the waterside market to-day it was scarcely spoken of, the quality of those received being perfectly satisfactory, and the quan tity adequate. There can be no doubt that while Peru possesses exclusively a valuable commodity which all the world covets, but which she most grudgingly and unwisely prevents their obtaining upon anything like reasonable terms, perpetual dissatisfaction will exist, and reiterated efforts will be made to discover substitutes or break the monopoly. We are not of that class, however, that would advocate injustice on the ground of expediency, or sanction the invasion of another country's territory. Rather would we prefer the con tinuance of the present narrow-minded policy, end its injurious results to our agriculturists, and, as the issue might prove, to the bondholders like wise, than a violation of national or private rights. Precisely, however, on this account would we encourage the most strenuous exertions, by negotiation, by remon strance, or by compromise, to bring about a more equitable and advantageous state of things. If the Peruvian Go vernment thinks in these days of progress and discovery, of liberal views and enlightened policy, it can shut itself as 'twere within a Chinese wall, barring out the ap proach of friend and foe alike, and remaining insensible to all overtures, it greatly miscalculates the temper of the age. What England may and will, we trust, be too scrupulous to sanction, other countries may be less chary of attempting. At present the conduct of Peru resembles that of Holland in her worst days of restric tion, when she burnt the costly products of the Eastern colonies to prevent their superabundance in the Euro pean markets. In the same way that this stimulated the discovery of other islands, the sulphur monopoly of Naples brought forward new and excellent substitutes, and a few years longer of a system which keeps guano at double its proper value, will, in all probability, hasten the exertions of those who are aware of the importance of town sewerage. We want of Peru not 150,000 tons of guano, as at present, but five to six times as much, and at a moderate price we could turn it all to profitable account. And where would be the loss to the public in giving the increased supply ? Is she fearful of its ex haustion, when by many we are assured the quantity obtained will last for hundreds of years, or does she greedily covet every sixpence she can wring from Eng land, which helped her in her sore distress, and has paid her back for this commodity alone far more than the sum which Peru originally borrowed? Let the Republic then be wise in time, and attend to the suggestions of its best friends. Just now there is a plan put forth " for the Equitable Settlement of the Guano Question, in which the interests of the Agriculturists, the Peruvian Government, and the Bondholders are duly considered, and this plan, though susceptible of modification and improvement, no doubt is favourably viewed in most quarters. The following are the prin cipal features :- I s t. That the Peruvian Government shall lower the price of Guano from 9/. ss. to 71. 10s. per ton, on con dition that the British Government guarantees to the Peruvian Government and the bondholders, the present revenue derived from Guano, viz, 637,5001. per annum, as a minimum to be applied according to the terms of the present contract, the British Government reserving to itself the power of redeeming the debt altogether. 2d. That in order to reimburse itself for this guaran tee the British Government shall levy a duty of 2/. los. per ton on all Guano imported into this country, and that the Peruvian Government should engage, through Messrs. Gibbs, to supply Guano at 71. 10s. per ton, duty paid, and engage to ship or supply to this country less tha n 255 , 000 tons per annum, which at 21 . toe. pe ton would be equ i va l en t to 637,5001., the min imum guar ranteed. 3d. That th e d u ty o f 21. 10s., so f a r as it is from P eruv i an G uano , s h a ll, in the event of P er uvian G 657,500/, be handed over, one - half to f i o ts derived vernment, and oneehalt to the bondholders, whole u ntil the whole of the debt is extinguishede.xtin gu i s hed it shall be 1 4th. That when the debt s competent for either to party. termin parties it shall thisagreem nti conue is ent, but fur the convenience of all for ten years. sth. That the British Government invite every other Government whose subjects consume Guano to enter into a similar arrangement with the Peruvian Govern ments—viz, to levy a duty of 21. 10s. on all G u a no im ported into these several countries, and hand it over to the Peruvian Government. 6th. Every Government entering into this arrange ment, to guar antee to the Peruvian Governmentthe p e aceable po ssession of the Guano Islands off Peru, whe ther in peace or war, 1,0 th a t no interruption s hall take p lace in the su pp l y of Guano to the apical- ture of the world. 7th. The Peruvian Government to bind itself to place as regards the G re at Britain on the samee footing,favoured su pply of Guano, as the most nation. Bth.
