The plate thus ostenta tiously presented to Mr. BERKELEY consisted, ac cording to the reporter, of a " magnificent candela brum " for the purpose, we map presume, of reminding the Honourable Gentleman of " the light of other days " --v, hick light , by the way, the poet BUNN tells us has faded with the generality, and has certainly in the instance be forevg us gone out altogether. Although the tribute very as, of course, well meant, it was unquestionably inopportune. Tle.

So th a t t h e banquet g i ven to the Hon. GRAN TLEY BEoa4ELEY was " one of the mos t enthuliastic de monstrations of Conservative feeling eve r made in the county of Gloucester l" We sup p ose it was thus enthusiasti c b ecause Gloucester l" the Liberal can didate,headed the poll f or i, W est 3,528 votes a t tfici last g eneral Gloucestershire by ito was because Mr. HALE, the Conservative candi date, who was first i n 1847 by four thousand and odd, was in 1652. only second, with . 7 merely two thou sand and upwards of support ers Or perhaps it was br.2cause Mr. BERKELEY himself Wh o more than 2,700, polled in 18r ,) polled in 184 7 s).. very little more than TII 10 Brj , 2,loo—and was therefore defeated ? Possibly the 500 gentlemen who on Wednesday evening were munching cold tongue and swilling in different wine at Thornbury, in honour of Mr. GIiANTLEY BERKELEY, SEA with so much Ent .usiasm in behalf of Conservative principle:, 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, displayed a rather remarkable (a n d, eve rything considered, a somewhat unaccou n t a bl e ) d eg ree of ardour in their manner ofconducting the pr o ceedings —the 1 defeated gentleman emulated in a very lauda ble wa y 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. GRANTLEY 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. Gentlem an seems indeed to have b een q uite cock-a-hoo p . Re, ferring to some remar k 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. Pima) 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 bas decidedly come in for "a punch on the head" after the most approved fashion of the Hon. GRANTLEY BERKELEY. W e wonder how Mr. Pares likes it. Another peculiarity very noticeable in Mr. 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. GRANTLEY 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 dally with while sipping " old crusted" at 48s. per dozen. For spinning a good, tough, political, after-dinner yarn—give us the Hon. GR.APTLEY BERKELEY 1 The Chambers of Commerce, throughout the noun ' 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, injure!, 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. In all the principal business towns and cities in the United Kingdom there aro 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 nearly 4,000,000 gallons, although the population was then under 6,000,000 of souls. At the present time, in Great Britain and Ireland, with a population of 27,619,866, the con sumption of French wines averages about 300,000 gallons, and of all descriptions of wines only about 6,2.50,000 gallons. Had 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 reciprocal advantage be granted by the French Go vernment, would be most desirable. The class of small coasting vessels which the wine trade would employ, would materially benefit that portion of the Sh ipping interest at present suffering from competi :ilison. i with steamers. The revenue, instead of dimi ng, would, in a few years, be augmented, by the eno rmously i of the increased consumption, and the mass people would be enabled to use a wholesome stirani ant , beverage, in e place :t. of the dangerous or doubt fulnow restri prohil,i. The Report further stated the use of which they are. that " the gooda l ° o 7 duties imposed by France whi m ist an it u a l f l n a a linen Great Britain and Ireland has on the textile increased the cost of cotton fabrics to the manufacturer, as trades artifi• in an equal ratio, French consumer, benefited the French c a tu not, cially supported are invariably economy and skill than when exposed on with less competition. Linen in France costs from to healthful nt more than in Ireland, caus e d by 40 to 50 per ce • the roh' bitory duties ' on Irish yarns. The French . P l nation loses annually about six millions sterling by the enhanced cost of this one article, while the French G overnment loses a handsome revenue, which they formerly de rived from the comparatively small duty of 10 to 15 per cent." The Report finally states that "a proposition from our Government to admit French wines at a low duty, in consideration that our linen, cotton, an d woollen yarns, and woven fabrics, obtained equal ad vantages from the Government of France, 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." is by has been sent to our G overnmen t , an d it backed i wines w ou ld b e des i rable, if the Governmen t o f Accordingly, a Mem o ri a l, f o u n ded on this Report , Et resoluti on t h at a reduction of the duty o f D re nch France would, as an equivalent, admit the manufac tures of Great Britain and Ireland at a corresponding reduction. The Memorial expresses a belief that France would now be inclined to grant this reeipro city—that not only would there be a great export from Ireland to France of linen and linen yarns (nearly shut out b y the almost prohibitory duties which Louis PUILIPPE imposed, by way of " Pro. tection," in 184-2), but that the manufacture and embroidery of m uslins—largely carried on in Ulster —would hence be much increased if they were admitted into France at moderate duties—and that the reduction, in the United Kingdom, of the duties cm wine, from ss, Gd. to le. per gallon, would serve, D_O N', 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 tollowing, w hi c h i s worthy of being known. " There is no country in the world," says the Journal, " where drunkenness: and all the miseries and crimes attendant upon it, prevail to such a lamentable extent as in our own ; for we find, from statistical authority, that the con sumptionof woman,spirits is nearly child,a wghaiellho,nyearly,for every man,e independent of nan g t quantities illicitly mad e , i s f our t i mes t h e y, and five times th e revenue, d er i ved f rom glatritrines.g withindusiF tdy o v r o att oth t e h es is sufrco p ehra a o r param ount m a the ou or a f a t te re duct i on ln e s a o n w, ml w ofa e sbs reias th e n g e , strong no e n 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 ls. 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 953,675/. 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—how 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 net 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 cer t a i n t y o f ga i n to her. Our Government, we are confident, will not reduce the wine duties, in the v ague and vain hope that Fra nce , b y an d bye, w ill amend glad, her hostile tariff. B u t we are neverthe less, that the commerc i a li s t s o f 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 on towwnheh Ministers sifollowthise canmakexample, Ss a proposition it will make to e tio outa case France for reciprocal reduction of duties. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals . of yesterday. "The Government," sa ys the Patr i e, " receiv e d again yesterday, by telegraph, the addresses of th e Councils-General. The number of these addresses is 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 15tb, 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 luke 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-Itbin, 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 :—He said, " 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 France w ill permit him to realize the reductio ns th a t h e desires in the taxes." " We are assured," says the Patric. " 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, hid commenced agricultural labours, in which they per fectly succeed. They have founded at about 30 miles 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 great 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 TILE 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 given to one of the Prince's Ministers has an evident signification." , We read in the Pays—" 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 MAGNAN 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 Prince President of the Republic. By a reduction of the effective of the army, the Prince President will not only realise a diminution in the taxes of the country, Paris annsoviiitnhces but he will further increase public confidence, the progress of credit, and the prosperity of manufactures and commerce, which are completely reassured as to the dor at ConstantinopleA pacific future of France."

The crops of wheat and oats not got in have been greatly damaged; the 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 oi,,an9, department of the Mere, 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, MM. Lours, Cossort, 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 BERTRAND, formerly missionary of the Je suits at Constantinople, has been named superior of the new institution of Jesuits at Vaugirard. The expense of the line of railway from Bordeaux to Cette, the concession of which has just been made by the Government is estimated, says the Constitu tionncl, 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. From the statistical documents collected, the working of the line is expected to produce a net return of about 4 ,730,000 f., to which must be added the revenue from the canal, estimated at 850,0001. The annual revenue would consequently be 5,580,000 f , which represent an interest of 51 per cent. on the 100 millions placed at th e c h arge o f th e company . The subventi▪ on of 35 m illi ons ma d e b y t h e S tate i s to be divided ove r th e fi ve or six years, which will be o ccupied in the c onstruction of the line, so that the . i State only incur an annual sacrifice of from five to six millions. The line to be followed will he such as to satisfy the wan t s o f th e mos t p o p u l o us t ow ns and di▪ stricts in that part of the country.

Queen ISABELLA was to assist on that day at a grand military parade at La Granja. General LARA, Minister of War, was to leave for Gigon, to be present at the inauguration of the railway, and to inspect the manufactory of arms at Trubia. The Minister of Marine was to direct ad interim the Department of War in his absence. The Heraldo states that in the beginning of Sep tember Queen ISABELLA, and her mother MARTA CHRISTINA, will have an interview at Villacastin, within a few leagues of La Granja, 'on the road to the Asturias. Queen ISABELLA will afterwards return to La Granja, and Queen Maria CHRISTINA will proceed to Taranan. In that interview, adds the lie raldo, the politi ca l ques ti o ns so long spoke n o f w ill probably be settled in a definitive manner. M. VENTURA DIAZ had taken possession of the Civil Government of Madrid. The Three per Cents. were done at 458 ; the New Three per Cents, at 22 15-16 ; the Debt of the first class at 12i ; and that of the second at 58. GERMANY.

The proposition was to be discussed in another secret sit ting on the 22d. A Vienna letter, of the 24th, states that the Em peror of AUSTRIA has recently granted several par dons and commutations to political offenders, and ordered the dissolution of the courts-martial in Hun gary, which were instituted in 1848 and 1849. An other letter,'of the same date, states that Baron JAMES DE ROTHSCHILD has offered, in the name of his house, to give the support of its credit to the financial ope rations proposed by the Austrian Government. SWEDEN. A decision of the Commercial College of Stock holm of the 12th instant declares to be infected with cholera all vessels corning from Dantzic, and to be suspected all vessels coming► from eastern and western Prussia. The quarantine for the former is for ten days, and that for the latter seven days. Vessels ar riving in Sweden from Danish ports situated on the Sound, the two Belts, the Baltic, from the German ports of the Baltic, and Russian ports situated on the Baltic from the Prussian frontier to Rivel, inclu sively, are also to be subjected to the quarantine visits. POLAND. Letters from Warsaw, of the 20th, state the cholera in that city has much diminished in intensity and in the number of eases. Nearly 1,400 persons, how ever, were still under treatment.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. 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 id. lower, and other kinds without alteration. The sales comprised 6,500 American, 750 Egyptian at 6d. to 9d., 400 Surat at 30. to 44d,, and 40 Sea Island at Is. 7d. to Is. 9d. per fn.—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 has not been much doing, Tallow has been quiet, 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 cf 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 tbosereceivecl 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 th e invasion of another country's territory. Rather would we prefer the con tinuance of the present narrow-minded policy, and 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 comnromise, 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 'Lasers) 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 tur n 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 sixpenc3 she can wring from Eng hind, which helped hor 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. Tho following are the prin cipal features :- Ist. That the Peruvian Government shall lower the price of Guano from 91. 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 21. 10s. per ton on all Guano imported into this country, and that the Peruvian Government should engage, t hrough Messrs. Gibbs, to supply Guano at 71. 105. per ton, dt?: o n paid, and engage to s hip or su pply to this countryi(ls. er less than 255,000 t ons p er annum , which at 21 . x !_ it .. ton would be equivalent to 637,5001., the minime, g u ranteed. 3d. That the duty of '2l. los., so far as it . is Go of its exc from Peruvian Guano, shall, in the event derived ePeruvian Go -657,500/, be handed over, vornmtnt, and one-halt tooneihhealfbtoUdthholders, until the whole of the debt is ex tinguishode.xiin guished it shall be 4th. That when the debt itser in i na t o this agreement, competent for either but tier the convenience of all "'all parties it silvan continue for ten years. sth. That the British Government invite every enter Government consume Guano to enter Government ei l lt with the Peruvian Govern into u similar 'ttyrhroo.snegerC duty of 2/. 103. on all Guano im portedments—vie , to levy a into these severest countries, and hand it over to the Peruvian Government. Gth. Every Government entering into thi s arrange ment, to guaranteeessi onto the Peruvian Government the peaceable poss of the Guano Island s off the coast of Peru, whet her in peace or war, so that no interruption s h a ll tisk° place in the s upp l y of Guano to the agricul ture of the world. 7th. The Peruvian Government to bind itself to place Great Britain on the same footing, as regards the supply of Guano, as the most favoured nation. Bth. That all existing engagements, relative to Guano, catered into by thy keruvian Government with Dritish Tbreers;elther in' En7lan'i7o74relsevrheets,'"""."—b,s roe ' ' id ' r if altered they are to receive such compensation tili may be agreed on.
