This Company being now completely registered, the Directors take the earliest opportunity of laying before the Shareholders a statement of its progress and prospects. It may be confidently asserted that no Company was ever brought before the public with equal prospset of speedy and successful results. The prompt assistance afforded by the Shareholders to the Direc tors, and the perfect confidence in the manaeement displayed by them, have enabled the Directors to take such steps as must ensure an enormous dividend within a few months. Sir Henry Huntley, the resident Director in C ilifornia, has been In that country five months, and the coarse adopted by the Directors for carrying out this enterprise results from the experience obtained by him daring that period. The instructions given to Sir Henry Hunt ey were, in effect, that he should make every possible inquiry relative to the state of the country, the tenure of land, the com parative merits of the different quartz veins in the several districts of California, and atter mature deliberation to advise the Directors as to their best course of proceeding, and to take such measu e r s e i s hl es e would enable them to carry out his views as speedily as i, the Following these instructions, he has secured for the benefit hes clearly Company, sufficient lands for all mining purposes ; desirable i of opinion, that for the present, at least, it is not ate to es u r a tz de t r; take mining operations, bat to crush and amalgamate be supplied by those who are possesses of minesg,aamndhagevfe raised t the quartz. With the assistance of some gentlemen h experience in geology and mining matters, he inspected and tested a great variety of veins in the Mariposa, Nevada, Grass Valley, and other districts, and has come to the conclusion, upon sound reasons, that the vicinity of Grass Valley and Nevada City, is that which afford; the greatest advantages for car rying on our enterprise. lie has; 'therefore, entered into an .gree raent with some American gentlemen, who have formed a company, and have opened, and, to a considerable extent, worked a vein of quartz, di.tant about three miles from Grass Valley and Nevada City, and about thirty miles from Sacramento City, to crush and amalgamate Ole quartz to be raised from the mine opened by them. By means of machinery, he has already cru had and amalgamated csuside'able quantities of the quartz sup plied him from this mine; and the result of his operations has been to satisfy himself that the vein is of a full average richness, and that the locality oilers many important advantages in the way of water, fuel, means of transit, &c., &c. He has, there fore, entered into a formal agreement with that Company, which, in a few words, amounts to this : he is to be supplied by them with as Much quartz as his machinery shall be found capable of crushing ; the quartz is to be deposited at the mills free of expense ; he is to crush and amalgamate it at Isis own expense, and he g Id produced is to be divided equally between the owners of the vein and our Company. Formal and legal agreements for carrying out the above arraneement fairly and honestly, and Without any copartnership, have been entered into. Steam-engines and machinery estimated to crush about thirty tons of quartz a day, with fends sufficient for putting it in motion, have been placed under the control of Sir Henry Huntley; and, unless some unexpected delay has arisen, the machinery is now actually at work, and a return will be made about Christmas next. Fer4he satisfaction of the existing shareholders of this Company, and without wishing, in any manner, to deteriorate from the merits of other Companies, the Directors are desirous of calling attention to some of the more prominent advantages possessed by this Com pany over others now in the field. Shareholders in other Companies must mainly rely urn reports sent over by persons interested in selling the mine; we rely upon the reports of our own resident Director and his practical assistants on the spot, whose only Interest is to give us facts. The Directors of other Companies generally base the estimate of the value of their mine upon calculations founded on experiments Upon a few pieces of specimen quartz, sent over to this country for the express purpose of advertising the commodity offered for sale to the British public ; we found our calculations upon experiments tried, during several weeks, on quartz raised from the mine, and crushed and amalgamated by our own Superintendent, and with our own machinery and apparatus. Other Companies propose to incur the expense and risk of carrying out milling operations Npon their vein, before the quartz arrives at their mill, and, should their labours prove successful, they must then pay out of their profits large per-centtges for obtaining their leases, and large royal ties to their lessors ; whereas we have secured as much quartz as our machinery is capable of crushing, the title to which is as secure as that of any other comp any, unfettered by any per-tentage or royalty. The half of the produce to be paid by this Company to the Parties who supply us, free of expense, with the quartz, being in fact Merely equivalent to the dividend upon the outlay of capital ex pended in raising the quartz, and lodging it at the mill. All the new companies, unlike this, must be a considerable time before their arrangements and machinery can be ready for carrying out their schemes—this Company alone is actually at work. The paid-up capital of the Company will not exceed 20,0001. An almost certain estimate of the produce of our machinery can be formed, and, from the calculations made, the Directors confidently anticipate being able even at the most moderate estimate, to afford a dividend of 200 per cent., at the least, within th- next twelve Months. According to the data furnished to us, the quartz which We are now working yields upon an average 45. per pound, or I/. 17s. 45. per cwt., or 371. 6s. Bd. per ton; and, as we can crush and amalgamate at least 20 tons per diem, that would amount to 7461. 13s. 4d., or 3731. s. Bd. per diem as the share of this Company. By the peculiar arrangements this Company has made, based Upon practical experience, the economy in working expenses must necessarily he such as to render the current outlay most trifling. In case circumstances should induce the Directors to alter the system now adopted, and lead them to undertake milling operations of their own, arrangements have heen made securing four distinct sites, most carefully selected for their eligibility for mining pur poses, and Sir Henry Huntl e y has o n the spot Cornish miners who Went out with him, and who have voluntarily retendered him their services. The gentlemen whe formed the Provisional Committee of this Company, have add e d t o the i r num b er severa l gent l emen possess i ng the acquaintance and entire confidence of a very large body of Shareholders in the provincial districts. To add such men to the r Dir e ;tory was due to those Shareholders who leave in fact estab lished and n o bly supported this Company. Measures w i ll be taken for further augmenting th e Di rec t or y, an d a Sp ec i a l G enera l Meet ing of the Shareholders will be convened for the middle of January. In conclusion, the Directors beg to offer their best thanks to the Shareholders for the uniform support they have received, and they pledge themselves that the affairs of this Company shall be con ducted with the most rigid economy, and with the sole view of for- Warding the interest of the Shareholders. The Directors beg to call the attention of Shareholders particularly to the fact that, from the system adopted by this Company, it can not be affected by the qnestion now agitated between the holders of leases and Colonel Fremont or his ag e nts. Th e di s t r i c t se l ec ted for he operations of this Company is far removed fro m the tract claimed by Colonel Fremont. The didiculty arising out of the many points now raised relative to the tenure of land under leases, had been long known to and was maturely considered by those having the control of the affairs of this Company, and was one of the reasons which in duced them to pursue for the present the course they have, and not to incur certain heavy expenses with doubtful results. The Directors trust that Shareholders will approve of the prudence Of the course they have adopted. Prospectuses may be had upon application at the offices octhe Company.

I.—lmports the past week eonsi,t of 86 bags Lisbon, and 514 bsga Amu's,lion, from Sldney and New Z .aland. Business is steady and pric2s stiff, in fine wools and combing floces; cools being more plentiful than of late ace scarcely so firm. but low TRADE OF LEEDS.—Basinea3 has been very quiet flt our Cloth thlls, both on Saturday and Tuesday, but there is a general feeling in the trade that goods have seen their lowest price, and that after sieek taking there is likely to be considerable improvement. There have been very few buyers is the town during the week, and little has been done in the warehouse. The foreign houses are doing less than usual at this season, but there has been considerably more inquiry for goods for the Canadian market. TRADE OF LEICESTER. —AS usual in Christmas week, but little has been don.) in the warehouvs. Owing to the caution adopted both by buyers and toanuficturers, stocks on hand are not heavy, and a fair damand for use ful goods is expected. Wools continue film, with a ten dency upwards. Considerable sales of palls have been made under the impression that an advaacement must take place in them, the price ranging so rcuch below the cost of wool. BRADFORD, JAN. I.—Woo lee—The market opens with the first day of the year, and we cannot report any de gree of buoyancy on the part of the whiners towards buying, the purchases made two or three weeks back being beyond their wants for immediate use. The transactions in the country aro not quite so lively. YARNS.—The year just closed has bees one of a very cheerless character. Throughout the whole period wool has varied very little, perhaps not more than id to in per lb on the extreme quotations. Yarns have fallen to a price unparalleled in the remembrance of the oldest engaged in the trade, while wool and labour were not affected. Although more spindles are in work than in October, yet the quantity totally idle and others only partially employed must have its effect in bringing about a better state of things, for at the present price of weal and yarns no one can realise cost, and we trust this year will not far advance before a decided improvement in the price of yarns is current. PIECES.—The opening of the year, we are glad to eay, is more favourable to the naaueacturerz than the one just closed. The merchants perhaps never bought less grey cloth than in the three months just ended, and the dyers have been exceedingly slack, but we may reasonably expect more animated doings as the season progresses. There does not appear to be two opinions about the price of goods, for it is certain that any change must be for an advance, or the present groat number of unemployed lo oms w ill be in creased rather than diminished, small as the stock of goods throughout the trade may be. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, JAN. I.—The market this morning was of a very languid character. New Year's day is always a semi-holiday here; in the morning rather more than half the shops, and rather less than half the warehouses, only opening their doors, whilst in the afternoon the streets are comparatively deserted, the places of business closed, and the town assumes a very quiet Sabbath-like appearance. The Exchange has been open, but the attendance was very limited. Besides the usual disposition to inactivity, there is also the fact that when the America steamer (which arrived here on Mon day) left New York, the now of the French cou p d'etat i had not arrived, and this, which s expected to produce an effect on the cotton market, disposes buyers to hold back in the hope of effecting purchases on easier terms. The discovery, at the annual stock-taking in Liverpool, of an excess of 44.000 bales of cotton over the previous estimates of stock on hand, has also had a slight ten dency in the same direction, having already caused prices to give way there to the extent of id per lb. For printing cloths, and the better qualities of shirting, the sale, so far as it had gone this morning, was at steady prices; but in other descriptions of cloth, including madappolams and jacconnets, and in some numbers of yarn prices vvero a It had° easier.

The Foreign Secretary who has served under many Ad ministrations has at length ceased to hold office, and every body is giving a different reason for the separation. Some attribute it to the turn of affairs in France, some to his Marylebone friends, with their address and resolution and his Lordship's answer, some to a personal difference with Earl Grey about matters which do not come to light all at once, but the fact of his Lordship's separation from the rest of the Cabinet is much regretted by many. We are naturally sorry to part from olt servants, and there are some ser ♦ices which cement parties together stronger the older they be come. Of this kind of service is that rendered by E. MOSES and SON, who have for many years caused a reduction in the expendi ture for dress of more than one-half, and the longer we are used to this the less we could do without it. In the , year 1851 not less than half a million of money was saved to the public by E. MOSES and SON, and although it can be clearly shown that every article reaches the public at half-price, they challenge the whole world to a com parison of quality. They, by means of a large capital, and a staff of workmen and designers perfectly unequalled, have surpassed everybody in quality, and intend to keep the lead by a system which the public fully appreciates.

A. proceeding of a somewhat extrOdinary character occurred yesterday, before Mr. Justice Erie, at Cham bers, with reference to the case of card-oheating at Brighton (the Queen v. Broom e an d others), and which it will be remembered was a prosecution against the defendants on a charge of cheating a young gentleman, named Hemp, at cards, during the sat Brighton races. While the Learned J u d ge was o c cu pi e d with a case in which counsel were engaged Mr. Sill, who, up to the present time, has con d ucte d t h e prosecu tion in the alleged card-cheating ca se , su d den l y en t e red his Lord ! s hip's room, accompanied by Mr. Hemp, and followed by Harry Broome, the brother of the defendant Broome, and several other persons. Mr. Sill, addressing the Learned Judge, begged to apologise for the interruption, and proceeded to say, that whilst waiting on some business in the adjoining room his attention had been called by Mr. Justice Coler id g e ' s clerk to an application for an order in the case of " The Queen v. Broome and others," for a writ of certiorari, and also to change the venue from Sussex to Middlesex. Mr. Justice Erie—What is the nature of the charge against tee prisoners ? Mr. Sill—That of conspiring to cheat and cheating at cards. Mr. Justice Erle—What is the amount of the prose cutor's recognizance ? Mr. Sill replied 5001., and went on to say that about ten days ago an application was made experts to Mr. Justice Coleridge for a similar order, but that Learned Judge refused to make it. 11 is Lordship, however, granted permission for a summons to issue calling upon the prosecutor and his attorney to show cause why the order should not be made. Now, he (Mr. Sill) was known to b e t h e attorney t ; lt cr h t e h u o g p h roseeution, no summons had been served upon him, and it was now sought to obtain the order by per ,pally putting forward the prosecutor, accompanied by some stranger as his attorney, to consent thereto. His (Mr. Sill's) attention having been thus called to the matter, Mr. Hemp was asked by Mr. Justice Coleridge's B roo me, the pugilist, the b rot h er o f one o f th e defen dants, tit to ytedwatos, when he replied," Mr. Sill." interfere, he (Mr. Sill) had to apply t o hi s L or d s hip for pro tection, having duty to who had b ee n tampered with clerk i who fbr h e i t s h h ei attorney tttdt prosecutor for the manifest purpose of stifling the prosecution; and he trusted feat his. Lordship would ascertain from Mr. Hump who his proper attorney was, and thereby at once dispose of the application for the certiorari and for the change of venue. H. Broome here made an attempt to speak to the pro secutor, on which Mr. Silt. uppsaled to his_Lordship to prevent such in terference, and to order the parties from the room which was done accordingly. Mr. Justice Erle then asked Mr. Hump what attorney he had employed, and on that gentleman naming Mr. Sill, his Imeiship said, that there was an end of the appli cation for the certiorari, and the change of venue, and addressing Mr. Hemp, warned him of the impropriety of listening to any overtures from the prisoners or persons employed. by them, and of the danger ho encountered as to his recol mizances, and proceedings being taken against him. His Lordship also pointed, out to him the neces sity of hie being advised by his own attorney in the matter. Mr. Sill here said it would new be clear to his Lord ship how easily the defendants might prevail upon the prosecutor, and the present might therefore be the proper time to apply to his Loreship for an order to produce before the magistrates at Brighton the affidavits which head been used in the application to Mr. Justice Coleridge', it being intended to substitute Captain Chase, the chief officer of police at Brighton, as prosecutor, in the stefeei of Mr. Hamp, who would thus be freed from the coral] pt overtures of the defendants. Mr. Jtuatice Erle—You may tile an order to d pro me all affidavits. Any personlatuty !eo bound over that the msgistvates may think fit, and any person may prefer a bill of indictment at the assizes.l Mr. seil inquired whether he had his L or d s hi p ' s per mission. t o convey his Lordship', opinion to the magis trates tit Brighton? Mr. Justice Erle—Certainly if it ; '" is of any service; but I hte - ve no doubt the magistrates will be prepared to do their duty. Mr. Sill then, accompanied b Mr. Hamp, retired, and the rev) red order to produce tile effidavits before the Brighton magistrates waa drawn up.

S PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TILE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. ato TINIES.—The ceremony at the Cathedral of Notre Dame, which combined in one solemnity the corm mencement of the new year and the commencement s! of what m sy be termed the new reign, was accompa nied by all that m a g n ifi cence o f display which is so well underatool by the priests, the military, and the upholsterers of Paris. To such of the spectators of this new pageant as cared for anything beyond the fugitive splendour of the hour, the most striking part of it must have been the contrast between the scene before them and the long series of events in which it forms a part. Upon how many triumphs and how many dynasties, upon how much of life and how much of death, upon what endless mutability of greatness and of fortune, have the ancient altars and arches of Notre Dame looked down! The church has withheld her incense and her consecrating wafers from no votaries of power that approached her shrines. Her Te Deums have pealed alike for every victory in every cause of the just and of the unjust ; nor has she inquired aught of the fate of those who have pasted in rapid succession from the loftiest scenes of earthly homage to the suffering and degradation of de thronement, exile, and defeat. With no disposi tion to speak or think lightly of thou, religious engagements which constitute the most &appro priate sanction of the great actions of society and government, we cannot hold observances sacred which are only used to gloss over a patent violation of law and justice, nor ii it a palliation of actions so opposed to the rules of human morality that their authors still presume to invoke the favous of Heaven. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte has reache4 Notre Dame and the Tuileries. He sees beneath biiri a nation pros trate and subservient to his will. He ha's been borne onwards by a tide of events independent, siiiataany respects, of his own character or abilities. Without the genius or the extraordinary achievements of his uncle, he finds himself in a position not very dis similar from that which would have descended to him by the Senatus Consultum of 1804 ; and he com mences his irresponsible administration of France at an age not much inferior to that at which the Emperor Napoleon closed his career. Thus far everything has favoured his ambition. The destruction of constitu tional monarchy was accomplished not by himself, but by the Republic; the Republic inflicted on the nation j ust enough of humiliation and terror to induce the French to hail their deliverer with an unanimity due chiefly to the sense of their own danger and weakness. Nothing was wanting to complete the predominant illusion of the hour. Yet, to the more cool and dispassionate eyes of the world there is something unreal in this mock throne, which has risen like the decoration of a pantomime ; something unnatural and artificial in the impulse which has precipitated 8,000,000 of men to declare their faith in a Government whose character would not be improved if it were better known, and in institutions chiefly adopted because they are not known at all. Assuming, however, as it is now our duty to do, that the late revolution has passed beyond the reach of our diurnal commentary, and belongs henceforth to history, we readily acknowledge that Louis Napoleon is entitled in fairness to be judged by his future acts, and we wish we could foresee that those acts are likely to induce us to reverse any por tion of the opinions we have recorded on the origin of his power. Up to the revolution of the 2d of De cember it was constantly asserted that his vigorous conceptions and enlightened intentions were frustrated by the machinations of the Na tional Assembly. The responsibility be now bears is undivided, and he himself assured the Consultative Commission, on the last day of the year, that "he hoped to found institutions which respond at the same time to the democratic instincts of the nation, and to the universally expressed desire to have a strong and respected Government ; in short, to create a system which reconstitutes authority without wounding the feeling of equality, and so to lay the foundations of the only edifice capable of sup porting a wise and beneficent liberty." The value of these expressions remains to be ascertained by expe rience ; for though we are accused by Louis Napo leon's partisans of a narrow and ignorant insensibility to the brilliancy and novelty of the system he is now about to introduce to the world, we shall suspend our judgment till such time as its results are made known to us. In the meanwhile we are not ashamed to con fess our incredulity of any new or startling discoveries in political science. All that we have lately seen bears a striking resemblance to occurrences as old as the de praved empire of later Rome. Much indeed of what is modern and excellent in social or political improvement —freedom of trade, the destruction of monopolies, the right of unlimited testamentary disposition, the power of association, and many institutions of a phi lanthropic character—are new to France, and might be introduced into her social system with advantage to the nation at large. But which of these reforms can be expected from an arbitrary Government, with out the liberty of the press and without the support of the intelligent classes which is so essential to the defence of enlightened innovations? The very touch of despotic power petrifies that vital energy without which no social changes can be successfully accom plished; and as for the notion that the active and con tinual intervention of the State is to provide employ ment for the industrious, relief for the pour, and re sources for the whole community, that is a delusion akin to M. Louis Blanc's organization of labour, which must end in pauperism and ruin. The princi ple of equality may indeed be respected, for that principle is nowhere so consistently applied as in States where all men are equally dependent on a common master, and in which one man is exalted that all others may be equally depressed. But these are the institutions of Turkey rather than of France, and it is impossible in a nation where talent and industry are perpetually struggling for distinctions of every kind, that society should be reduced to the dead level of Oriental barba rism. Nay, the very acts of Louis Napoleon, as well as of the Emperor Napoleon, show that such is not their policy. Their political councils bear the stamp of privileged bodies, their influence over the army is strengthened by the attractions of a military aristo cracy, and, though the President may brave the middle classes, he will neither attack the highest nor affront the lowest order of the people. The Constitu tion will more perfectly disclose the forms by which the Government is to be conducted, but they are of secondary importance, since the whole spirit and policy of the Administration arc to be those of Louis Napoleon himself. 'We give him credit for a desire to succeed in the task which he has assumed, since the duration of his own power must eventually depend on the satisfaction he may afford to the expectations of the country. But the promises he has given, the hopes he has raised, perhaps the notions he has him self formed, appear to us to differ widely from the practical and positive necessities of his position ; and we fear that the lofty idea of a transcendental empire will soon turn out to be neither other nor bettor than the old devices and oppressions of vulgar despotism. HERALD.—Louis Napoleon has inaugurated his new power with Regal, or rather let us say Imperial splendour. All that remains of public institutions in France, everything around which there clings an agreeable association—the Church, the army, the magistracy, and the municipalitiea, have been duly marshalled into a magnificent tableau, of which the son of Louis, the best of Napoleon's brothers, and the Emperor's destined heir, forms the main figure, to which the rest are but subordinate appendages. Escorted from Notre Dame, where the ceremonies, purposely copied after those of the imperial corona tion, by civil and military authorities to the Tuile ries, where he, the Emperor's heir, was born, what still small voice of prudence or of policy forbids him to take the crown for which he need only stretch forth his band ? Contented with the solid reality does he shrink from the needless embarres intent of ot of powtera, showy title, calculated to awaken recollections military glory clouded by memories of military . disas ter ? Has he laid to heart the lessons of htstoarys w el l rived fromthe greatest period of the monarchy, 11 r Louis as from the matchless career of the Emperor XIV. for a time ran as rapid a career of unscrupulous ale raised the success as did Napoleon himself. an d splendour, and Monarchy to its apogee of power roved to be the yet the moment of its greatest gloryn prove and 181 e eve of :its decline—so that betwee very stron suggest' there might be established hat Franc Louis lve analogies. We can hardly believet Napoleon find himself able to guide s safely through the ten years he has assigned himself, he would be more willing then than now to fulfil an en gagement which he has habi t uated his mind to read by the known disposition of the people. The country which, by the almost universality of its vote, absolves him now, would absolve him again. Still, it would be a rash sort of speculation, that which taould pretend to forecast the operation of a mind exposed to the influ ence of unparalleled circumstances. Hitherto Louis Napoleon has exhibited unusual mastery over himself under circumstances of irritating provocation. There can be no doubt that when the worst construct' was put upon his motives and conduct—when he was insulted and snubbed from the tribune of the Assembly by some of the most trusted leaders of the majority, and the minority encouraged to mark its derision—when he was treated as one under a sur veillance which was only to terminate at Vincennes, —there can be no doubt that throughout these tan talising _circumstances he felt as well aware of the popular masses of strength at his disposal as he did on [PRICE SD. Wednesday evening at the moment the Consultative Rommission announced to him formally the result of appal to the country. To the five millions and a tittalvho in 1848 gave their vote 3 to a name, are now tined two millioLs more to the ruler, of whom they tiave all had three years' experience. To himself may he take the cre-lit of this great manifestation of a nation's confidence. " What will he do with it ?" will b 3 askti by every thinking per son in all parts of the civilized world. Some will attribute good, end others the reverse of good intentions. There are those who will find shelter for their own sagacity in mixed motives. Will the man control circumstances, or circumstances the man? Will he adroitly temporise, and try to evade and turn difficulties, or yield impulsively to the first sudden gust of military enthusiasm or pupular passion ? What he has been will he continue to be —a calm sagacious judge of passing events. Used as he is to reflection on history and politics, tempered and tried in prison solitude—used to the exercise of mind, unused to the exercise of arms ; at that mature middle-age period of life when habits and tastes are formed, and passions for unaccustomed adventure not easily begot—may it not be hoped that his ambition will be that of the law-giver rather than that of the conqueror ? Under the cold exterior of that impas sible man there lies a deep enthusiasm. That cool head is not free from mysticism. He believes in his star, and he has run the course of semi-Socialist reflections, argu ing aspirations rather after improvements of society by moans of better systems than of warlike adventures. The victories of Napoleon have vanished as the mere pageantry of history—the Code rests the great solid memorial of his fame. So far such indications as we have seen of Louis Napoleon's disposition point to administration. Having turned his attention long and gravely to Socialist doctrines, he has discovered their unsoundness; and their inevitable results in a subversion of society and irremediable anarchy. With more doubtful and less certain reasonings, he has come to equally adverse conclusions as regards representative institutions. Viewed as a temporary system and limited expedient, we might be argued into the propriety of allowing the all-controlling power with which the French Executive means to endow itself. Society has received such a shake as to need perhaps the unshackled exercise over it of a single arm. French parties are so disorganized and broken up, and the leadino. is men of the country so filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, that it may be the case that at this moment there would not be the means of getting together a numerous As sembly ready to make those sacrifices of personal with an independent feeling to the general tranquillity which the President and his Government deem to be indispensable. But, however, constitutional Government, as we understand it, wit chamber, h laws sent up by the more impassioned and more de pendent representatives of popular constituencies, the t t s re c a h t e i c n k g s , as and balances, high court of app ea l, th e whole kept in proper place by unquestionable autho • rity—this system, proved by experience to be so well a suited to the present state of society, is one to which we think France will in calmer times revert as if by natural impulse. Whether Louis Napoleon means that the charter which, with the sanction of the French people, he is about to bestow, limiting very materially the scope of Parliamentary privileges as hi therto received—whether he means that this shall be permanent, is more than we can even surmise; nor need we dwell in conjectures upon the subject, because hie own sagacity may fairly be trusted to meet the exi gencies of future requirements. In his present actions he shows remarkable acquaintance with the character of the French people. The Parisians are delighted at seeing the Tuileries thrown open for receptions, which recal the happy times of Royalty, because, notwith standing the unsteadiness of their political principles, they are, of all people in the world, rendered the most uncomfortable by a derangement of their social habits. The name of President of the Republic signifies little, so long as they have the spectacle, the pomp, the pageantry, and all the circumstances of a metropolitan Court. Public show is a necessary of Paris public life, which even the Provisional Government acknow ledged when, instead of Spartan or Roman severity, they borrowed the ballet dancers of the Opera to fill parts in Pagan processions, and organized public fetes more suited to a luxurious empire in its decline than to a young republic. If power, whatever be its name or form, must have scenic decorations, better surely the solemnities of Notre Dame and the Tuileries than the monster reviews of 300,000 National Guards, and the open-day semi-nudities of the Champs de Mars. In stead, therefore, of seeing the Empire in the New Year's-day ceremonies of Paris, we rather recognise certain scenic necessities skilfully adapted to the tastes of a sight-loving population. DAILY NEWS.—It is asserted that one of the reasons of Lord Pahnerston's retirement was the de mand, or something like a demand, made by n high member of the Cabinet—not Lord John Russell—of a personage in the confidence of the Elysee, to obtain an assurance from Louis Napoleon that he meant scrupulously to respect the treaties of Vienna. Could this be announced at the opening of Parliament, it would, it was said, be of the best effect. We by no means wish to give any opinion at present on the wisdom or the inexpediency of making such a de mand. But we are compelled to state it, in order to record the very important fact that such demand was not complied with. Our contemporary, the Times, which revealed to the world the fact of the demand, now admits that it was met by evasion or refusal. The Times adds that Louis Napoleon is about to send confidential agents to the four chief Courts which constitute the Powers of the Congress of Vienna, in order to sound their opinions on different subjects, but especially relative to how far the delimitations of the treaty of Vienna are to be consi dered sacred. Oar correspondent writes, that it is M. Persigny who is to proceed to Frankfort, there to commune with the representatives of the great powers assembled in the Diet. M. Persigny went upon a similar errand before. At a time when Prussia was making head against a hostile league, of which Aus tria and Bavaria were the chief members, Louis Na poleon sent M. Persigny to Berlin, where it is well known he made offer of all aid and alliance, provided he were allowed to take that portion of the Bavarian Palatinate left to France in the treaty of 1814, but taken from France in the treaty of 1815, by way of punishment for the outburst of Waterloo. This track contains the important fortress of Landau, as well as Sarre Louis, Pailippeville, and Merienburg. Landau was garrisoned, like Mayence, by federal troope % In the Rhenish insurrection, however, Landau had_D b e en seized or had gone over to the insurgentsi n Prince of Prussia had recaptured and rex saonded theit.

M. Persigny failed, as a Presidential diplomatist. He is now about to try whether he may not succeed as an Imperial one. A great deal might be said on both sides. But for the present we can augur nothing but failure and disappointment from the mission of M. Persigny and of the other Napo leonite envoys in their efforts to get the territorial arrangements of 1815 altered for those of 1814. It is to be now regretted that the three great Powers has e shown so little respect for that treaty of Vienna whose decision they affect to regard as sacred. Russia has done precisely what she pleased with these treaties, in the case of Poland and of Cracow. The treaty of Vienna stipulated that German states should have consti,utions, and that certain German cities should be independent and free. When the Powers of the East insist on Louis Napoleon rigidly respect ing the treaties of Vienna, he can reply, "In what I propose I respect them just as much as you have done yourselves." Should the diplomacy of the Elysea assume this tone,' it would at least not be weak in its logic, however defective in principle or honesty. ,on GIVAZZI AT EXETER, HALL.—Last night Father Gavazzi delivered one of his stirring addresses at Exeter Hall upon the spiritual and temporal influences of the Papccy.

The exa mining board ant. party were compelled to use profusely Sir W. Barnett's disinfecting fluid to keep off, or in the hope of keeping off, pestilence. To-day, however, they deemed it prudent to desist from further exposure for a time, to guard- against danger, and will consequently not proceed with the examination until next week, fhb greater part of which will be taken up with the filthy investigation, as there were upwards of 6,000 canisters to examine at the commencement. This stuff was sup plied to the Admiralty and delivered into store at the Clarence-yard last November twelvemonth, warranted equal to sample and to keep sound and consumable for five years. We are informed it came from Galata, in Moldavia. The few canisters containing meat fit for human beings to eat have been distributed, under the direction of Captain Superintendent Parry, to the de serving poor of the neighbourhood, and those containing the putrid stock have been conveyed to Spithead in lighters and thrown overboard. 'lie consequences of such frauds as this cannot be too seriously estimated. Suppose, for instance, Franklin and his party to have been supplied with such food as that condemned, and re lying upon it as their mainstay in the time of need, the very means furnished for saving their lives may have bred a pestilence or famine among them and been their destruction.

"Robert Martin, now master and commander of the whale ship Intrepid, of Peterhead, solemnly and sincerely declares, that on the 22d day of July, 1845. when in command of the whale ship Enterprise, of Peterhead, in lat. 75.10, long. 66 W„ calm weather, and towing, the Erebus and Terror were in company. These :hips were alongside the Enterprise for about fifteen minutes. The declarant conversed with Sir John Franklin and Mr. Reid, his i ce master. The conversation lasted all the time the ships were close. That Sir John, in answer to a qusstion by tho declarant if he had a good supply of pr e ov_isi , ons, and how long he ex last, stet d taat he had provisions for five them to five years, and if it vver , e necessary h e could' make them s pin out seven years; and he said, further, that he would lose no opportunity of kiliing birds, and whatever else was useful that came in the way, to keep up their s tock, and tha t ho had p l enty of powder and shot for the pur pose. That Sir John also stated that ho had al ready got several casks of birds salted, Ca d had t two s hooting parties o u t — one from eachship. iten The birds were very numerous; many . weull fall at a single s hot, and the declarant h as himself killed forty at a shot with white peas. That the birds are very agreeable food, are in taste and size somewhat like young pigeons, and are called by the sailors roches ' " That on th e 26th or 28th of the ' said month of July two parties of Sir John's c fficers who had been out s hooting dined with the declarant on board the Enter prise. There was a boat with six from each ship. Their ceaversation was to the same effect as Sir John's. They spoke of expecting to he absent four or five, or perhaps six years. These officers also said that the ships would winter where they could find a convenient place, and in spring push on as far as possible, and so on year after year, as the determination was to push on as far as practicable. " That on the following day an invitation was brought to the declarant, verbally, to dine with Sir John, but the wind shifted, and the Enterprise having cut through the ice about a mile and a half, the declarant was obliged to decline the invitation. That he saw the Erebus and Terror for two days longer; they were still lying at an iceberg, and the Enterprise was moving slowly dawn the country. That so numerous were the birds mentioned, and so favourable was the weather for shooting than, that a very large number must have been secured during the time the declarant was in sight of the two ships. The Prince of Wales whaler was also within sight dur ing the moat of the time. That from the state of the wind and weather for a period of ten days, during part of which the dec l a ran t was not in sight of the two ships, the best opportunity was afforded for sccurrg the birds. That the birds described are not to be found at all places on th© fishing ground during the whaling season, but aro met with in vast numbers every scan on certain feeding banks and places for brooding, and it appeared at the time by the declarant to be a most for tunate circumstance that the Erebus and T error ba - d fallen in with so many birds and that the state of the weather was so favourable for securing of the l ar ge numbers of them. The deearant has himself had a supply sh and ood same description of birds, which kept fre we during three months, at Davis' Straits, and the last re as good as tho first of therm the same 0 b " Which declaration, above writteen, t is rue now made con scientiously, believing ~ ROBERT MARTIN.
