T he purchasers of the building did not hesitate for a moment i n st e p- Ping in e e t weeo • the public and the" Legislative sentence : they knew Itill Well that the Governments of other countries deem it their duty therovide for, and carefully to watch over, the national ch arac t er of . masses respectively given to their charge, by affording the Means of recreation and instruction during their holiday and leisure hears. But here the wise and good amongst us must do these things *themselves, for British Governments revolve in fixed political orbits, and the people shrink from official interference in their per- Bonet, social, and domestic movemente. • Two great facts were establish e d by th e N a ti ona l Exh i b i tion of 1851 In the first place, it proved not only a self-Supporting, but a hi ghly remunerative institution; and, - secondly, v isi tors, at th b '''gher rates of charge, neither entered the building in numbers equal to those on the shilling days, nor eontributea in money a sum equi valent to that realised by the shillings of the poorer classes. From these two facts, it became evident to the purchasers that two points Matray demanded their attention in deciding upon the fate of the Istraetire which they had saved from demolition. To begin, they, oast fix upon a spot for the Palace, easy of access 16 the masses ; and, ir. the second place, they Must render the Palace in respect of the people of Lon don what Versedlles is to Paris—a place where the people may be admitted by thousands to all the enjoyments of art, of • science, of beauty, of skill, and of mechanical invention—enjoyments - , I n latlitseceeteeseeeeeeemay eeljeseeenteesede i the refined, and the rich. both respects the purchasers have to congratulate themselves Pon having met with unexpected and abundant success.

The Cornwall Railway will complete the trunk line of communica tion between London,Bristol, Exeter,Tlymoutb, Falmouth, and Pen zance. The lene,th of the line 'will be 63 miles, extending from Ply mouth to Truro and Falmouth, joining the South Devon Railway at Plymouth, and the West Cornwall Railway at Truro: It received the sanption of Parliament in 1846; the works were immediately com menced ; about seven miles of the line were In a very forward state; the land for which waspurchased and paid for, when the monetary crisis of 1847 compelled the directors to suspend the works, and put an end to thescontracts which had been entered into. - The present altered state of the money market, and the greatly reduced price at which railway works are now being executed, have justfied the Directorsin submitting to their Shareholdera a scheme for a large reduction in the capital of the Company, and the aban dozivaent of branches not likely to yield an immediate return. ' This scheme having received the sanction of the Proprietory, was. sub mitted to the Board of Trade, who,. by their warrant, dated the 26th,of March, 1852, have reduced the share-capital from 1,600,0001. to 1,125,0611. This capital has by the warrant been divided into 56,253 shares of 201. each ; assigning to each holder of an original share of SCI. two shares of 201. each; and of auoriginal share of 251., one share of 201.; thereby reducing the liability of the shareholders 20 per cent. ; all sums of money which have been paid up on the 5: 1 1. and 251. shares are to be deemed to be paid up on the 2el. shares, which are Substituted for them, amounting to 31. )ss. per 20/. share. ' - The importance of the line as the last connecting link between the metropolis acid , the extreme western ports of Falmouth and Pens zance will be apparent. e - Falmouth, it is well known, is the port of call fer a large propor tion of our homeward bound shipping ; 1,324 vessels_ have. called tiere - during the last year. The constriction of railway, and the extension of the electric telegraph would be of immense import ance in the transmission of mails, passengers, cargoes, correspond ence, and communication between 'the first channel port and all .parts of the empire. The dangers and delays of the channel navigation are well known to nautical men, and are immensely increased after having passed 'the Lizard. Falmouth, immediately within the Lizard, offers a safe port accessible at all times, and in all weathers, and most easily protected from hostile attack. Cornwall is well known .throughout the world fonts mineral wealth, abounding as it does in mines of copper, tin, lead, iron, and Other metals; a large proportion of the capital embarked in these undertakings is provided by parties living out of the county. The importance of the line to all persons so interested is obvious. Its fisheries, which admit of unlimited extension, furnish Supplies . to the home and foreign Markets. 'Nearly vegetable productions are even now sent to Londen, and other parts of England ; and Cornwall will become the garden for the supply of these articles when a railway can. secure their fre quent, uninterrupted, and rapid transmission. , . Penzance, Fahriontb, and the various watering-places along the line of the Cornwall Railway, will be eagerly sought by visitors and invalids, as soon as the railway shall be extended into the county. • The population is remarkably locomotive he its habits, and the large amount of local traffic attracts the attention of all persons visiting the county. .. The constrdction of the line involves no engineering difficulties, or extraordinary works, and the directors have offers from responsible contractors to take and complete the whole of the works at the price stated in their engineer's estimates. 'From the experince obtained in the . construction of the West Cornwall Railway, the Directors have every, reason to believe the line will be completed considerably within these estimates. The traffic estimated at different periods, and compared with that now realised on the South Devon line, at the eastern extremity, and tue West Cornwall at the western, warrants the Directors in stating their firm relief that a revenue will be realised, which will yield a high per tentage on the capital to be expended, The landowuers are very favourably disposed, and will part with,the land which may be required for the line on very advantageous terms. Several large landowners have already consented to take up - the value of their land in shares. The importance of the line in a national point of view has been recognised in Parliament; and very recently by the Treasury and Iv the ,Admiralty. The Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, and South Devon Companies are largely interested in'the Company. The Directors having resolved to offer to the public a limited num ber of forfeited shares, at a discount of 31. 15s. per 201. share, on pay ment of 15s. per share—being the call now made, and making 41. 10 - s. per share paid up—will receive applications for puck shares in the undermentioned fortn, addressed to the care of Messrs. r.

This Institution was originally established under a different title in the year 1839, on the plan of admitting tlni assured to participate in four-fifths only of the profits ; but the Society has since been re modelled so as to become a strictly "Mutual Association." The whole of the funds and property belong to, and are accumu lated for the exclusive benefit of the assured. The profits are divided annually among the policy-holders, and applied in reduction of the current year's premium;, thus constitut ing, in effect, an immediate cash payment to the assured. Half-credit policies are granted on terms unusually favourable to the holders, the amount for which credit it given being gradually li quidated out of the profits. Two Tables of Rates have been computed; one entitling the as sured to participate in the profits after payment of five annual pre miums ; the other considerably lower , in which t he of parti cipation is deferred two years longer : the premium nl g able by the assured Is, however, precisely the same, whichever Table of Rates may in the first instance be selected. General meetings of the members are held annually, to whom full and complete statements of the affairs and funds of the Society are submitted, and by whom the division of the profits are from time to time declared. At the Annual General Meeting held on the 27th April last, a di vidend of 30 per cent. upon the current year's premium was awarded to all members who had made the requisite number of payments on their respective policies. By order of the Board of Directors, E. R. FOSTER, Resident Director. . ANDREW FRANCIS, Secretary. London, May , 1, 1852_ *4* The "Britannia Mutual Life Association" is altogether dis tinct from, and independent of, the Proprietary , Office transacting business under the name of the "Britannia Liib Assurance Com pany." The only coanexion between the two establishments is, that their affairs ate conducted on the s one premises and by the same officers, by which means the entire disbursements of the Mutual Association are reduced to a small per tentage on the receipts.

[PRICE THE FRENCH REPUISLIC, We have received the Pads journals of yesterday. The following answer to M. MOLE'S letter bas been addressed: to the editor of the Assemblie Na tionale, and will appear in the CopstiNtionne/ of to morrow " Sir,—lei the letter of Count MoM, which you pub lish in your number of to-day, there are insults and a denial of facts. As to insults, they are not allowed to anybody. As to the denial of facts, in order to make it justly appreciated, it would suffite to cite the name of the person to whom COIII.IC Mole - narrated the incidents of the meeting at the Tuileries. The country would soon decide between the two contrary affirmations which was the true one. GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC." A decree of the PRINCE-PRESIDENT of the Repub lic, dated the 27th March, but only just inserted in the Bulletin des Lois, opens an extraordinary credit of 250,000 f. to the Minister of- the Interior for the pay ment of the expenses caused by the arrest . ; effected after the events of December. The Journal du Havri states that a new Bill is now in preparation by the Minister of Marine, according to which the present conditions for advancement and promotion in the navy will be very materially modi fied. The• term of service now required before pro motion can . be obtained will be reduced ; the propor tion of advancements from selection will be increased, and !officers will arrive at the superior ranks at a much younger age than by the existing regulations. We read in the Patrie— . Commission appointed to examine the question of the right of the poor to a poifibtflif the receipts of the theatres has, it is said, completed its task, and its opinion is stated to be entirely in favour of the managers of the theatres, who have solicited a change in the .egu- Wiens on this subject." _ The same journal says— " Some journals, in publishing their letter from Con stantinople, relate, as an extraordinary fact, if not as one insultieg to France, the refusal of the Ottoman Porte to open the passage of the Dardanelles to the French line-of-battle ship the Charlemagne. Our cor respondent had also related to us the eircumitance, which we did not think it our duty to raise to the im portance of a political incident. Tho Porte recently eponteueously authorised the entrance of the steamer, on board of which Admiral Remain Deslosses went to Con stantinople, and it was thought, in the Council of the Sultan, that to open the passage to several French ves sels would bo td create a precedent which wculd compel the Turkish Government to be as gracious for other flags which are not regarded so favourably as ours. France has a greater interest than any other nation in the observance of the treaties which secure the inviola bility of the Dardanelles. These treaties, if they were not' rieorously observed, might become the cause of serious political difficulties. Our relations with the Sultan are, insides, too friendly for it to be allowed to . giie an unfavourable intergretation to an incident which hat , no real importance." On Tuesday morning the Republican Guard, in full dress uniform, were drawn up in several lines in the Salle des Pas Perdus at the Palais de Justice, to take the oath. individually, to the PIIINCB ERZEIDENT and to the constitution. The President of the Court of Appeal and the Procureur of the Republic placed themselves in the centre, and the oath having been read ahead,. each solclier, on hit name being called, advanced, and raising his right hand, said, " 3e le ure." The last refusals of the oath by councillors general include the names of the Marquis de Mornay, Count H. de l'Aigle, and M. Viet, qc-mayor of Compiegne, in the Oise ; Viscount Henry de Treveneuc, ex- Representative, in the Cote..-au-Nord; Walckenaer, Duboie, Lignier, Piiiard.L.rin, and de Vendenvre, in the Aube; and the Prince de Liergbes and M. Urbain Puntons, in the Haute.Gxrpne. The number of refusals in the municipal councils goes on increasing. M. Gomez, President of th.t Tribunal of Commerce of St. Omer, haS refused ; de la Pierre, a sublieutenant chasseurs, has refused the oath, and has given his reasons in the following lan- gunge : " The eagle has not yet acquired the right to treat with a sort of disdain the ensigns under which the sol diers of France have fought for thirty-seven years. Many hearts disposed to receive the eagle, illustrated by the equally glorious victories and defeats of our fathers, suffer at the mere semblance of disdain, or of insulting forgetfulness of other misfortunes, of those lilies which our ancestors at the price of their blood also covered with glory, of that flag also which during twenty years we hope we have carried not without honour." This letter alludes to the speech of the PRESIDENT of the 10th of May, wherein he alludes to the whole period elapsed since the empire as one of misfortune. The sale of the pictures of Marshal SOULT com menced on Wednesday afternoon. It was extremely difficult to obtain entrance from the immense crowd which besieged the doors, and which was formed en queue in a line extending up the Rue du Sentier almost to the Boulevard. MunieLo's Conception of the Virgin, the pearl of the collection, was knocked down to M. DE NIEUWEEKERKE for the Louvre, at the price of 586,000 f. The St. Peter of the same master fetched 151,000 f. The Infant Jesus and St. John, by Mu mew, was sold for 63,000 f. ; Jesus bearing his Cross, by SEBASTIAN DEL PIOI4BO, fetched 41,0001. It was reported by some that the three last pictures were purchases by Lord HERTFORD, and by others that they were bought for the Emperor of RUSSIA,. What is certain is that they were knocked down to the same bidder. The price fetched by the Concep tion of the Virgin has surpassed all expectation -23,4401.1 The PRESIDENT of the Republic leas ordered M. C. L. MuLLas to paint a picture representing the ceremony of installation of the great bodies of the state by LOUIS NAPOLEON, in the Salle des Mare chaux, at the Tuileries, which is to he placed over the fauteuil of the President of the Legislative Body, in the room of that by M. COURT, representing king Lours PHILIPPE swearing to the charter of 1830. The provincial journals contain favourable ac counts of the corn crops, and even the pasture lands appear not to have suffered so much from the long continned drought, as previous statements bad led us th fear. In many of the departments, however, the fruit-trees have been so much injured by blights and by the frosts of the spring that the fruit crop will be a total failure. The accounts respecting the vines are various. In some parts of the wine-growing countries not more than a quarter crop is expected; in others an average crop is reckoned upon- The receipts of the Orleans and Bordeaux Railway Company for the month of April last amount to 561, 9 69 f., being - an increase of 205,639f. ' as compared with the month of April, 1851. This being the Feast of the AsCepsiOn, and one cf the four great holydays kept in P ari s, the Bhurse re mained closed.

Lora Campbell, in the name of The bookselling controversy has hrimeceseilvfedenitds his e fics ot.. . l w eagu hich 62 ;i li li nt an d g e g li e v s e t re v d er a y j feercaseepptLfore Thehim particulars of this conclusion it vrill beAnite minecto_trY,, a f d e g w m g en ro t u o n n ds , for us to repeat, not only beastcys they.Tier 6 at...length-is-our isnpression of yesterday; bet bees purport and even the language of the decision were an ticipated in our own remarks of the day before. Mr. W. Longman may, perhaps, avail himself of the occa sion to observe that by so carefully eschewing " all that appears in print" he is discarding what might prove to be useful information to him. With less self-confidence .than our eminent publisher, Lord Campbell, Dr. Mill. man, and Mr. Grote •" read everything which came within their reach," and the result has been 'shown in what - Mr. Longman himself was fain to accept as It " very able opinion." In future he may possibly con sider that a good deal which " appears in print" is worth the attention of those engaged in a publip dis cussion. Of courso,thPra c9uld be but one decision in a contro von), so transparent. With a few conventional corapli- - meets to - the motives and conduct of the amalgamated publishers, Lord Campbell plainly pronounced that " the attempt to establish the exceptional nature of the com merce in books" had altogether failed; that the regu lations of the Association were " unreasonable and inexpedient;" that ' they ought to be maintained no longer, and, that the 13ookiellere' Inquisition should be forthwith dissolved. _ It scarcely needed a formal analysis, of such . arguments as those -of. the. As wociation to convict them of atm. unsoundness. There was a self-evident - abl:urdity in the allegation that the sc.le of books qouldi be diminished by a tlimittatiod in their price, and yet beyond this allegation the conlode , rated publishers, had' really twilling to .advance. Not only were _their. principlis'falze, but their attempt was ' ittprecticable. ,3:!):)3. , did not secure any uniformity in thc price of bock, they did net Create any rapid chstri- Wion of new-publications, but they dici contrive •to en- t , gender a great deal of ill-Wood, and to manufacture such a system as insured its dim conviction as Boon as is was expot.ed. It is hardly worth while to renew the investigation of a . n . exploded protectionism, but we desire once more to singleo o the , w h e v ic i h i, L ad t em etecete the fellacy whi c h we conceive to have been at t a o o n r d th a e p m b ri a e snd a o t ise a e• s a e s s s th or e pointtf a , omitted to „noti c e. This fallacy is the publisher's as sumptiou that the " eublicatt infact,"price of a book is their own price —the price , ?urchaser ought properly 'which the to which any redac t ion can be. pay,msde and from by their indulgence only. This delusion or equivocation per vaded the whole of their argum e nt s . Mr. Murray ob served that if the retailers chose to tak e l ess than tire 30 per cant. profit at present " ellowed" them, it would bo so much the better for the wholesal e producers, who would pocket the difference. Mr. W. Longman Inno cently suggested that perhaps a decrease of this statut able " allowance" would furnish the best adjustment of taw controversy. The entire case was represented as turning on the reduction made by one branch of the trade in special favour of the other, and the whole ques tion was more than once described as a booksellers' question eeclueively—one, in short, with which the ge neral public had no kind of concern. The " publication price" of a book, according to these views, was the true price—the price which the consumer ought to pay, the particular rate of discount obtainable by the retailer being clearly, therefore, of no consequence at 111. The assumption is wholly indefensible. Beyond doubt, the joint producers of a book—the author and publisher—may agree to fix whatever price they please oa their manufacture, without respect to the costs actually incurred. If these costs amount in fair reckoning to 153., the proprietors of the publication may settle its market price not only at one sovereign, but at five, or ten, if they so please. But what the reader should understand is that this overplus chargé, the divi sion of which has been so controverted, is a charge imposed after all these arrangements have been made witkont any reference whatever to the property, so to speak, of the publication, and with a view to its distribu tion only. The author has no concern or participation in the matter at all. There is a particular price affixed.to his work, which is so computed as to include his fair re muneration and all other ascertainable expenses of the production. Author and publisher provide their respec tive recompenses in determining this sum, and there is also a further and distinct provision for the publisher in respect 'of his strict and proper capicity of issuing or uttering the work. Now, to the "arade price" thus constituted an addition of 33 per cent. must be made to give the " publication price," and for the publisher to pretend that this price pertains to him is a monstrous wrong. He could only demand it by a most prodigious act of extortion against the public and an equal exercise of injustice towards the author. It is never taken into consideration in his reckonings with the author, bat is always represented as- an ex p ense inseparable from the distribution. of; the book. To assume that ao publieher would, be bo o k. t.. to this price in his own proper person, if _be did not m ake " a reduction in tavenir" of the retailer , is utterl y preposterous: His onl y justifi cation for at:cornicing at all a price so greatly b eyond whose m is r t e hat u l n h e must ho may have where ration be cared for in addition to his own.

Nothing in the markets of the universe is so extravagantly dear as a British-made book, whether contrasted with other productions of labour at home or with similar productions abroad. With enlarge edu ceded population, an i h quiiitive tone of society, and a general desire for knowledge, the most uncommon Article of :private purchase is a new book, and the com. modity most certain to be procurable at a depreciated rare is a publication of credit and renown. The truth is that scarcely any degree of success can maintain prices so hugely artificial. When one third of a book's nominal charge has been grataie tously added to its true cost, an appendage so preposterous is sure to be unsafe; and a collapse, which is merely. the c onsequence of unnatural ieflatiou, ac quires the appearance of formal disparagement, to the prejudice of readers and writers together. Readers: only get access to a, publication when its conviction seems to have been pronounced ; and writers, • who see the price demanded from the public, and know the price accounted for to themselves, are seandslised and discouraged by the operations of an enormous charge combined with a miserable return. e It would scarcely be fair to quit the subject without a, tribute of public acknowledgment to those individuals - who, at some personal risk, encountered the unscrupu lous coercion of the " Association," and secured free doin of trade to all followers * their craft. Lord Camp bell, we observe, confirmed, as f ro m his own knowledge.-the suspicions we had expressed respecting - the alleged " unanimity "of the profession. Many felt secretly oppressed by the restrictions of the system, but few only ventured to protest. Is is natural enough that consideration should be claimed for those uncertain ventures, but it would be A wiser and more serviceable precseding to forget the past altogether, and to place the trade upon a., system which will give authors and booksellers: a b e tter source of profit n a larger sale of - books.
