FRANCE. The Aloniteur gives, in an Extraordinary Supple ment, the minutes of the proceedings of tb® Senate of the 4th, 6th, and 7th of Novemb3r, the senatus eon sultum presented on Sunday at St. Cloud, with the decrees convoking the people and the Senate. The procas verbal, or minutes of the sitting held by the Senate on the 4th, records the opening speech of Prince Jerome, the Message of the Prince President, the, proposition of the ten members for a modification d the constitution, and the answer of the Minister of State, that the Government was not opposed to the taking of the proposition into consideration. The Message of the Prince President is the same as that which has already been published. The Speech of Prince Jerome is in some respects an echo iof the Message, yet the following portion is re markable : " That which the French people did in 1804 it does again in 1852, thus showing how constant it is in grati tude and just in judgmeLt. How can we fail to r( co, n z the finger of Providence, which, in our worst days, has not ceased to watch, over France, in this phenomenon of events almost idcsntical reproducing themselves at 50 years' distarea? Popular instinct, which acclaimed Na poleon 1., revr,als itself anew today in acclaiming Napo leon 111., thf4 Prince who for four years has governed Prance witli so much wisdom and ability. The fallowing are the names of the ten who signed the proposition for a modification of the constitution: Mesnard, Troplong, General Baraguay, • d'Hirliers, Cardinal Du Pont, General d'llautpoul, Bar.on Lacrosse, Marshal Vaillant, General St. Jean d'Angely, Count Simeon, and General d'Ornano. At the sitting of the 6th the report was read. It begins by recalling the resolutions and addresses for the Empire. It then reminds the Senate of the services performed by the Prince. "To him (says the report) is attached the vast future of industry and pacific civilization. This future ought not to be abandoned to the hazards of event 3 or the surprises of factions. Wherefore it is France that demands the Monarchy of the Emperor, which means order in the revolution and rule in the democracy." The re port then goes cn to show that the Republic had never, and could never, take root in France, owing to the attachment of the people to Monarchical ideas. Other Monarchical regimes had, however, 'placed the Throne too far from the people, while the Republic, notwithstanding its boasted popular origin, entrenches itself against the people. But the Empire was more truly democratic than the Republic, and bad been the farm of Govern ment most ardently sustained and most deeply regretted by the people. On the one side, it was the only Government which acted on the old principle that the people had a right to choose their king, while on the other it never had had any quarrel with the nation, for its fall in 1814 was not caused by a rising of the people against its government, but was owing to the hazards of an unequal war ; and the people bad never ceased to see in the Empire its own emanation and work. The report then goes into an historical disquisition on the subject of Monarchy and the Re 'public, for the purpose of showing that the latter form had never taken root in grand states, but only in small communities, the example of the United States not serving to upset the rule, on account of the peculiari ties of its position. rance, nevertbeless, idolizes equality, such as the empire secures for the country— admits without jealousy those providential greatnesses legitimised by reasons of state, beneath which all becomes level. The report neat proceeds to attack popular assemblies, in which personal responsibility becomes lost in the multitude, while the Monarchy le, on the other hand, loaded with a personal respon sibility from which it cannot escape. After the preface, the report enters on the senatus consultum. In conformity with the substance of the report (of 'which it is unnecessary to enter upon a further detail), the following senatus consultum was then read and adopted : ' Art. 1. The Imperial dignity is re-established. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte is Emperor under the name of Napoleon 111. Art. 2. The Imperial dignity is hereditary in the direct and legitimate descendants of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, from male to male, by order of primogeniture to the perpetual exclusion of females and their do. 83.ndants. _ " Art 3. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, if he has no male child, may adopt the legitimate children and descendants in the male line of the brothers of the Em peror Napoleon I. The forms of adoption aro regulated by a senatus consultum. If after this adoption, male children should be born to Louis Napoleon, his adoptive children cannot bo called on to succeed him until after his legitimate descendants. The adoption is interdicted to the successors of Louis Napoleon and to their de scendants. " Art. 4. Louis Napoleon regulates by an organic de cree, addressed to the Senate, and deposited in hi s archives the order of succession to the throne in the Bonaparte family, in case he should leave no direct, or adoptive heir. " Art. 6. In default of a legitimate or adoptive heir of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, and of the successors in a collateral line which shall derive their right in the above mentioned organic decree, a senates consultum, proposed to the Senate by the Ministers formed into a Council of Government, united to the president of the Senate, of the Legislative Body, and of the Council of State, and submitted to the acceptance of the people, names the Emperor, and regulates in his family the hereditary order from male to male, to the perpetual exclusion of females and their descendants. Until the moment when the election of the new Emperor is consummated, the affairs of State are governed by the Ministers in office, 'who shall form themselves into a Council of Govern ment, and deliberate by a majority of votes. " Art. 6. The members of the family of Louis Napo leon Bonaparte called eventually to the heredacy, and their descendants of both sexes, form part of the Im perial family. A senates consultum regulates their po sition. They cannot marry without the authorization of the Emperor. Their marriage without such autho risation entails privation of all hereditary right, both fur him who contracts it as for its descendents. " Art. 7. The constitution of 15th January, 1852, is Maintained in all its provisions, which are not contrary to the present senates consultum, there cannot be any modification made in it except in the forms and by the Means therein prescribed. " Art. 8. The following proposition shall be presented to the acceptance of the French people in the forms determined by the decrees of the 2d and 4th December, 1851:—' The people wish for the re-establishment of the Imperial dignity in the person of Louis:Napoleon Bona parte with heredacy in hi s direct de l ;cendants, either legitimate or adoptive, and gives him the right to regu late the order of succession to the throne in the Bona parte family as provided for by the senates consultum of November, 1852."' M. Mesnard, First Vice-President of the Senate, on presenting the above senates consultum to the Prince President, addressed him as follows : "Monseigneur,—When a great country like France makes its voice heard, the first duty of the political body to which she addresses herself is to listen and to reply. Such were the ideas of your Highness in calling for the meditations of the Senate on this vast movement of pub lic opinion which has manifested itself with so much ensemble and energy. The Senate has understood that this striking manitestation is justified at the same time by the immense services which you have rendered by the acme which you bear, and by the guarantees which are given to the future by the greatness of your character and the wisdom and firmness of your mind. It has un derstood that after so many revolutions France feels the Want of putting her destinies under the shelter of a powerful and national Government, which, only holding the past by the souvenirs of her glory and the legit; Macy Of her origin, now again finds In popular sanc — tion the elements of its force and of its duration. The Senate glories, Monseigneu r , in being the faithful interpreters of the wishes and sentiments of the country in placing in Your hands the senates consultunt which calls you to the Empire." The Prince replied : " Messieurs the Senators' —I thank the Senate for the eagerne ss with which it ha responded to the wi s h es of the country, in deliberating on the re-establishment of the Empire, and in drawing up the senatus consultum when, is to be submitted to the i acc eptance of the people. when, forty-eight years since, n thi s same palace, in this same room, and under analogous circumstances, nc:_ m s, the y . senate came to oiler the crown to the chief family, the Emperor replied by these memorable words My spirit will no longer be with my posterity from the day when it shall cease to merit th e love and the confidence of this great nation'—what now most affects 1 , 31 5 1 heart is the thought that the spirit of the Em p eror 18 with me—that his ideas guide me—that his shade Protects me—since by a solemn proceeding you come le the name of the French people to prove to me that I " 4 're merited the confidence of the country. It is not n ecessary for me to tell you that my constant pre 15ceepation will be to labour with you to promote the grandeur and prosperity of France.' itenewed cries of " Vive l'Empereur" here burst forth. The Prince afterwards approached the sena tors, and entered into conversation with each of them, der which they left and returned to the Luxem ltrg. The Moniteur publishes decrees convoking the Electoral Colleges, to adopt or reject the plebiscite, t2 l l the 21 s t or 22d inst., and the Legislative Body for :Ile 25th inst., in order to examine the regularity of i n ( ' Votes, and to declare the result. In the new org a n ization of the Government the p residency of the Senate will belong to the Em p ero r h imself. This circumstance had determ ined Prince Jerome to resi gn his functions as President of the senate into the hands of Prince Louis Napoleon.

It was rumoured in political circles that the Minis ters had adjourned the meeting of the Cortes to the 20th of December, in order to follow the calm.° of events in France until that period. The Minister of the Interior, it is said, is about to present a plan to the Council of State for the sale of the Royal salt-works. According to official returns published in the Madrid Gazette, the deposits lodged in the general deposit bank amount to 16 ) .579,149 reals in cash, and 26,018,019 reals in securities, A letter from Cadiz announces that the frigate Perla is to replace the Colon in the squadron of evo lution.

This the Pacha has agreed to, and promised to place the amount (about 300,000 T. sterling) at the Sultan disposal in London in, the course of the cominr, 'Monte of November. Not being sufficiently prepared to meet such an, engagement, his highness addressed himself to a bunking house in Alexandria, for the purpose of obtaining the requisite advance, to be re funded in li yen. ; and having been met with a diffi culty—not, Vrom any distrust or unwillingness to assist hie *highness, but from utter impossibility to provide so large a sum at such short notice—his highness decided on dispatching his Excellency Ab dallTsh Bey to London, via France. Abdallah Bey is expected to meet his Excellency Nubar Bey at Paris, and they are directed to start together for London, for the purpose of addressing on the subject the Pen insular and Oriental Company (who, it appears, on some previous occasion, exhibited offers of aid to his highness), and requesting their assistance. Abdallah Bey left this port for Marseilles on the 21st inst., in the Egyptian steamer Nile. At the same time Muk tar Bey returned to Constantinople with the result of his mission ; and, towards evening of the same day, there arrived another Turkish steamer with an envoy from the Sultan, bringing from Constantinople valu able presents for the Viceroy, as also the decoration c f the new order created by his imperial highness, of which order he himself is the chief. The railway works are prosecuted with the same alacrity as from the commencement. Upwards of 20,000 men were lately at work on the embankments ; and that part which runs through the Lake Mareotis is so nearly completed, that it is expected to be so entirely before the rains set in, which may happen in a short time frcni now. After the rains have consolidated the ground, the rails will be laid down." SPOR7'IIV9 7NTELLICT,E;„VC,4% SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCOXIIV. A very curious specimen of steeple-chasing, as it dcos exist at the present time, came off yesterday at Edge ware. In the morning, in town it was generally under s that the race was " squared" for Voyager, and, from the quantity of money laid against the Screw, who was much fancied by the too-often gulled public, it was very evident this latter animal would not win the race. The rice itself did not, however, come off in exact ac e )rdanee with the neatly-contrived plane that had been formed during the two previous days, for Voyager, it is as clear as daylight, could not have won upon his merits, being dieposed of before half the distance was travelled over. About what the Screw coup have done, I say nothing. Simple Peter, a good-looking horse of Mr. Higgin4', won the race cleverly. This animal will do something worth recording in the time to cone. The Scramble Steeple-chase was likewise a bungle, the certain winner being defeated very cleverly in the final heat. The Liverpool Autumn Handicap Steeple-chase run to•morrovv, will, not improbably, be contested by three fourths of its small acceptance. The merits of the com petitors are already well known to the public; therefore I need not enter into a disquisition upon them, but at once jump to a conclusion by stating, that in VICTRESS and THE DRAG, I expect to see the first and second; Carrig being a likely occupant of the third place. The Aintree Stakes (over the mile course) has a large entry, and the field, I expect, will be none of the smal lest. The horses that look most like business are Forester and Truth, at 7st. 131 b. each; View Halloo and the Little Fawn, at 6st. 121 b. each; The Reaper, at 6st. 101 b.; and Callot, at sst. 121 b. For the absolute winner, I can discover nothing that ought to be able to beat TRUTH and FORESTER. The Optional Selling Stakes and the Scurry Handicap do not close and name until this evening.

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN. ---ee---- Last evening the opening' meeting of the teeesion of 185 e 3 of the Royal Geographical Society took plaree 5,A the theatre of the R lel Institution, Alhemerle-street Sir It. Murphison, the president, hi the chic. The number of new members were elected, and the minutes of the last meeting confirmed, after which The PRESIDENT slid—Gentlemen,_ in opening the first meeting of this session I must be allowed to con gratulate you on the prosperous contlit;on tef this society. We enter upon this session, gentlemen, with renewed hope of obtaining intelligence of the missing Arctic ex pedition, of our gallant countryman, Sir J. Franklin, and his associates. (Hear, hear.) As geographers, we never doubted what has recently transpired; for I only expressed your sentiments when I -dwelt in my lest ad dress on the belief we entertained that the resolute cha racter of Franklin must have induced him to sail boldly northwards through Wellington Channel, and that the energetic and skilful officer who was last sent in search of him would as certainly follow him in the track. Pro videntially, Wellington Channel has this year been found open, and Sir Edw. Belcher has, I trust, successfully passed through it ; and if so, our bold navigators may be on the most hopeful of all the paths yet explored for the discovery of our missing friends. (Hear.) May Admiral Sir John Franklin still be met with, so that, returning to us, he may find that his Sovereign has con ferred on him a now title in his absence. (Hear.) But, passing from the aspiratiote of old friends and geogra phers, I now call your attention to the memoirs to be read this evening. The first of these is by that intrepid Arctic seamy, Kennedy--(Hear, hear) —who during the last two years has commanded the Prince Albert — I a ship fitted out, to the honour of Lady Franklin, entirely at her own cost. Mr. Kennedy, who is present, will point out to you, on an enlarged map, prepared by Mr. Arrowsmith, the coasts he has traversed and the researches he accomplished under great difficulties, aided in no small degree by a noble young French offi cer, Lieut. Ballot, who won gelden opinions from every one of his associates. Mr. Kennedy will further relate to you how, when he left Franklin's last known station, et Beechy Island, the squadron under Belcher was wending its way just where we prayed it might steer; and, when I tell you that we have with U 3 this evening the courageous and experienced Arctic voyager Penny, whose name is justly connected with the most northern lands yet discovered in that longitude, you cannot doubt that we have in him a person thoroughly qualified to discuss the whole subject of Arctic endeavours, now that the power of steam and the use of the screw have elicited hopes which in olden times might have been considered visionary. In alluding to the efforts which have been made by indivieuels in this 'humane cause, I need s carcely remind you of the search after Franklin which was t xecuted through the munificence of a single citizen of the United States, Mr. Grinnell, who, in consequence, was elected by your acclamation an honorary member of this society; nor of the able manner in which Cap tain De Haven, of the American navy, carried out the project and was amongst the foremost in discovering new land. On our own part we eaeleavoured to send out (though here again Lady Franklin was the great contributor) the little Isabel screw-steamer, and though circumstances, over which the geographers had no control, prevented this vessel from proceeding to Behring's Straits, as we wished, the subscribers will be pleased to learn that Captain In,s, , efield, R.N., who so generou'ly came forward iu the hour of need, has pushed on for Smith's Sound, at the north end of Baffia's Bay, to endeavour to determine whether there may not there exist a passage into the Polar Ocean. Thirdly, you will have accounts from Captain Macguire, who went out, you will recollect, to assume the command of the Plover store-ship, on the north-west coast of Ameitca; and you will learn from the letters of that officer how deeply he deplores (together with his predecessor, Cap tain Kellett, R.N., and all geographers) that no screw steamers should yet have been dispatched to Behring's Straits, and how ho is persuaded that without the use of such a vessel even the Plover and her provisions will prove useless, because they are immovable. Lastly, Mr. Peterman will communicate some important data respecting former Arctic voyages of the Dutch and English, that led to those whale fisheries which for a long time have proved a source of great profit to this nation, and were the nurseries of the hardiest seamen. He is anxious to convince you and the public that if the plan of Arctic research, which he suggested last year, by passing through the Spitzbergen Sea, bo adopted, our merchants may then have a vast new souroo of wealth laid open to them, by reaching waters in which the largest proportion of whales have of late years found themselves free from the assaults of men. But whatever may be the ultimate com mercial results of an endeavour to reach the Polar Seas in steam vessels, directed through:the only broad open channel leading to them (or that between Spitzbergen and Nova Zambia), we. as geographers, aro bound to encourage such researches, and especially because in ad dition to their promotion of national uses, they must present us with a greater number of chances of ascer taining the fate of our missing countrymen. (Hear, hear.) And if it should please our rulers to employ the two little Arctic vessels, the Lady Franklin and the Sophia, now lying useless at home, and aiding them with steam power, should confide them to a captain of whaling vessels, like Penny, who can appeal to a IL'e of long and approved services in the northern seas — (Hear, hear)—then, indeed, we may reasonably hope for an issue which, if not successful in rescuing the expedition, will prove of great national value, and place us, purchance, on a level with our kinsmen of the United States, ' who, to their great credit, have won for themselves in the last few years a very lucrative trade amid the ices of the north, by panotniclng lute, and even through, Behring'a Straits. In short, we learn from the reports of their government, that in the re cent. years alluded to, more . American seamen were engaged inethat small district of ocean than were employed in the whole navy at any one time, and that the large amount of eight million dollars had been fished up by those hardy mariners out of water-vessels to which but very few British merchant's have ever ventured. (Hear.) Let it therefore be ascertained if this Polar basin can be reached rapidly by us through the Spitz bergen sea, a project which is I know, warmly approved by some of our members, including naval officers, who have long been connected with Arctic discovery. (Applause.) Dr. HODGKIN then read Captain Kennedy's paper, which described the progress of the expedition of 1851 by Prince Regent's Inlet and those parts south-west of Cape Walker which Sir John Franklin's instructions directed him to explore. The expedition proceeded from Cape Bad across Victoria Strait, westward, until it reached 200 degrees west longitude, and, rounding Cape Walker, examined tho land for several miles, but without finding any traces of Sir John Franklin's party; the conclusion Captain Kennedy arrived at being, that the missing expedition could not have gone by Cape Walker, bat must have taken the northern route. The important geographical results of this service was the discovery of a passage from Regent Inlet to Victoria Channel, thus proving the existence of a north-west passage. The paper added that in the neighbourhood of Victoria Straits there wore animals found in great variety and abundance. Thanks having been accorded to Captain Kennedy for his paper, abstracts were read from letters received from Commander Inglefield, of the screw discovery ves sel, Isabel, dated July 9, 1852, lat. 59 deg. 11 N., long. 16 deg. 57 W., addressed to Admiral Beaufort. Mr. PETERMAN next read a commuuication, in which ho stated his opinion that the missing expedition, if found at all, would be met with on the Asiatic side of the polar regions, and dwelt upon the field these regions would open up to the whale fishery. Captain PENNY also expressed an opinion that Sir John Franklin's expedition must be approaching the Asiatic shores, and that any search to be made for it should proceed by Bebring Strait and Nova Zembla. After passing the strait, the expedition would enter the Arctic Ocean, where a large sea existed, and where, if commenced sufficiently early in the season, there would be four months for active operations. Within that pe riod, and with the assistance of steam power, the pole itself might almost be traversed. Looking at the open ing to British commerce these regions afforded, and the still higher incentives of humanity, it would be a dis grace to this country to neglect to prosecute the search, for which duty he should bc. happy to offer his services. He mentioned, as an important fact, calculated to strengthen the hope that Sir John Franklin's expedition had not perished, that a party of twelve American sea men had wintered in a little bay in the regions he pro posed to explore, and had during their stay there killed no less than thirteen whales, which would have been sufficient to have supported Sir John's party from the day they embarked till the present time. Captain BEECHY considered that any future expedi tion that might be sent out should go up to the westward of Spitzbergen, towards the Seven Islands, and that it should consist of screw steam - vesseiee Dr. Nicholay, Dr. Trueman, Mr. Sanders, and other members, having offered a few remarks, The CHAIRMAN closed the mewing, and in doing so read a letter from the French Minister of Marine to Lady Franklin, in which he amply recognized the merits of the young French officer, :Lieut. Bellot, wh o had been sent out as part of the late expedition, and altogether refuted an impression which he (the chairman) said had circulated to some extent here, that that officer had not met with those marks of distinction in his own country, which his conduct merited. _....—.......—, THE LONDON FRIENDLY INSTITUTION.

TRADE COMBINATIONS.—At a recent meeting of the London Strong Boot and Shoe-manufacturers' Ass?eia tion, it was agreed that non-society men should be admitted to employment on equal terms with society men. It was also determined that such abuses as forcing i _m c e o n toe them wth fie lodge in their employers' houses, suPPlY in g or tea against their will, and making henceforth 511QUId be abplished. them pay sittings, ITALY. A letter from Turin of the 4th inst. announces that the Count and Countess Agenor Gasparin had arrived there from Florence. The Earl and Countess Minto had left Turin for Genoa. The Cavour Ministry is definitively constituted. This result is regarded as a triumph for the Liberal party. Accounts from Florence of the Ist inst. state that an ex-municipal guard, named Pirro Binidi Monza [nano, had been arrested on suspicion of being the man who made the attempt to murder the Prime Minister Baldasseroni. _ _ _ A letter from Ancona of the 17th ult. states that nine political prisoners, who formed part of the secret tribunal established in that town in the year 1848, had been shot on the 25th. They died with great courage. The French garrison bas been reinforced in Rome. General Gemeau was apprised by letters, dated Civita Vecchia, the 27th October, that some French frigates were in sight of that fort, with the 14th and 40th regiments on board to relieve the 13th, 32d, and 36th, who have bean in. Rome since the siege of the city. The 14th regiment landed at 9 o'clock on Thursday 'morning, and marched forthwith to Polo, half way between Civita Vecchia and Rome, and arrived there at 2 in the morning. The stores forwarded in all haste from Rome for the men had not yet arrived ; the disappointment, however, is stated to have been borne with the ordinary good humour of French soldiers, and they continued their march to Rome, which they entered cs Friday night. The Pope, who was taking exercise in that direction, met General Gemeau; and when the advanced guard of the 14th Regiment arrived, the men halted and knelt, and the Pope gave them his benediction. The 13!11 Regiment quitted Rome on the 30th October ; the 323 was to follow on the 21 November, and the 36th ou the 10th. GERMANY. The ceremony of the betrothal of the Princess Anna, daughter of Prince Karl of Prussia, with the Prince Frederick of Hesse-Cassel, took place at the Palace of Charlottenburg, on the 4th inst. All the members of the Royal family were present ; the illus trious pair received after the ceremony the congratu lations of the Court, the Generals, the Ministers of State, and the Chargé d 'Affaires of Hesse-Cassel. The following is the text of the speech of Count Bnol-Schauenstein, Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, on opening the Customs' Congress at Vienna : " Gentlemen,—Six months have elapsed since the close of our sittings in this hall. A grand and useful work the preparation and guarantee of the Customs' Union and of the commerce of Germany and of Austria—then occupied our attention, and from the result of our delibe rations we were well founded in believing that we had laid the foundation stone of the vast new institution without any shock for the edifice of the German Zollverein. Diffi culties which we had no reason to foresee have since arisen. But even now we do not renounce the hope that they may be surmounted, but circumitances have im posed it as a duty on us to assemble again in order to enter into deliberations on the present state of things. The high governments here represented have properly appreciated the motives of the invitation which his Ma j esty the Emperor, my august master, authorized me to address to them. Oar present efforts are the result of the same spirit as the preceding. In casting a glance at the time which has passed between our two meetings, we find ourselves reassured by the fact that the drafts of treaties which we drew up, and which your Governments, gentlemen, presented for acceptance to the united States of the Zollverein have been generally admitted to be practical and useful. Our project of a treaty of customs and commerce especially is admitted in all parts as destined to serve for the basis of ulterior negotiations and our principle of the union of customs as the first object to attain by these negotia tions has again been generally recognized. By the coecessions which we have made in the most concilia tory spirit, and, to faciltate general expectation, the task still to be fulfilled is reduced to details which certainly may be regulated by ulterior negotiations. Our Governments have declared on several occasions their disposition to take equitable propositions into con sideration in order to arrive at a complete accord on the general tonour of the customs and commercial treaty, the prompt conclusion of which is every day demanded by the most evident facts. We have aban doned the demand to see stipulated simultaneously, and in obligatory forms, the basis of the future Customs' Uaion. But the equitable condition of this renunciation, and its natural consequence is, that a free course shall be left to the treaty of commerce, in order that it may have full effect at the expira tion of the term agreed on. How, under such circum stances, can a dissension as to the period of the conclu sion of the treaty of commerce have the importance of principles? How can it have the effect of separating all Germany? To come to an understanding with Austria, the future extension of the Zollverein is not placed in question, and the time necessary for the negotiation is sufficient. It follows that we have every reason to main tain the hope of an early arrangement, although the realization of it is not within the solo power of the Go vernments represented here. There is only cne case in which our hopes could be deceived—namely, if the Zollverein—the object of which, according to the ex press terms of the treaties in vigour, is in accordance with Article XIX. of the German Federal Compact—if the Zollvereign should have a tendency different from that with which it was founded, incompatible with the essence of treaties, by which the national union of the Germans has been preserved—the tendency to exclude Austria from any care of the popular common interests of Germany. Your high governments, gentlemen, have recognized with perspicacity the necessity of foreseeing the unfortunate case of the Zollverein not remaining faith ful to itself, of providing for present wants, and leaving open for the future the paths of reconciliation. We shall pursue that object with resolution. But in no case whatever may be the decisions of our confederates not re- If, in fact, the bonds of th e Z o ll vere i n, i n t ' aeie p u r t e u s r e e n . presented here, will Germany despair of h e r commerc i a l f t extent, should be dissolved, a new l eague r a t Cus toms would be formed, and would unite a per n a ti on o f 48,000,0 00 so uls. It will be the sub j ect of o ur aegociations to fix in detail, the means by which this alBw union may be formed without deranging the economy of the States which form part of it, witb oat prejadice to the interests of their subjects) and on bases which shall render the separation of parts of Germany, hitherto united, as little sensible, and above all of as short duration as possible. But I must here solemnly repeat that Austria desires nei ther the dissolution of the Zollverein, nor the dur a ti on of the dissension in commercia and l policy anothe, which a exists r. Ausir' between one part of Germany is too much penetrated with the want of the union and ' co-operation of all the members of the Germanic Federal Body, for her not to be ready up to the last moment to ie l am mg. extend the hand to the so mu ch desrod unders+ancling. Your meeting this day is a proof that the governments, of which I salute you, gentlemen , as the honoured re presentatives, are animated with t he ease sentiments and the same principles. The great and salutaryobject _ Let us to which we aspire carries satisfaction with it. unite our efforts to attain it, by our constancy and con ciliatory dispositions." EGYPT. A letter dated Alexandria, Oct. 23, says :—" A short time ago his Excellency Mukter Bey arrived here, charged by the Sultan to obtain the assistance of his Highness Abbas Pacha in the financial diffi culty caused by the position of the Batik of Constan tinople, and by the rejection of the loan. SJ far as a ready promise to assist goes, he has been successful. The Sultan asks his highness Abbas Pacha to anti- REVIVAL OF CONVOCATION. Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the rectors, vicars, and incumbents of the City and Archdeanonry of Lon don, all of whom are ex officio Fellows of Sion College was held in the large ball of that institution, in ac cordance with the following roquisition : " To the Rev. the President of Zion College. " Rev. and dear Sir,-77e, the undersigned Fellows of Zion College, believing that the revival of the active powers of Convocation is, under present circumstances, inexpedient, request that you will have the goodness to call a meeting of the Fellows, to consider the measures which ought to be adopted by them in reference to that subject." Tick Rev. R. RUDDOCK, M.A.. the president of Zion Ce:ilege, occupied the chair. A long and warm discussion having taken place re specting the legality of the meeting, which was impugned hems° some of the Fellows had not been summoned to attend, The Rev. Dr. M`CAtri., rector of St. Magnus the Martyr, and representative of the cloro of the arch deaconry of London in Convocation, addressed the meeting at great length in deprecation of the revival. The rev. doctor concluded by moving the following re solu'ion:—" That a report having been widely circulated that a majority of the clergy of the Church of England and Ireland are desirous that the Convocation now as sembled should be allowed to proceed to business, the president and fellows of Sion College beg to be permitted to state that they do not participate in ihat feeling, nor b-lieve that under present circumstances such a course would be expedient." The Rev. W. Joutisex, 8.D., rector of St. Clement, Easteheap, seconded the motion. The Rev. J. J. TOOGOOD, rector of St. Andrew's Hol born, moved as an amendment that the meeting should be adjourned sine die. The Rev. W. SCOTT, incumbant of Christ Church, Heston, seconded the amendment. He believed there was an obscurity in the mild form of the requisition, which appeared merely to protest against the revival of convocation at the present time, but which went directly against synodal action under any circumstances—in fact, against that most sacred synod of all which was sum moned by the apostles at Jerusalem. (Cheers, and cries of " No, no.") The Rev. W. GooDE, rector of Allhallows, Thames street, expressed his approbation of the motion proposed by Dr. M'Caul. The Rev. Dr. WORTHINGTON, incumbent of Trinity Church, Gray's-inn-road, and the Rev. Trios. DARLING , having spoken in favour of the revival of convocation, The CHAIRMAN put the amendment to the meeting, and it was lost. Tho resolution proposed by Dr. M'Caul was then agreed to. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro ceedings, THE ROY AL MILITARY COLLEGE. The usual half-yearly public examination of the officers and gentlemen cadets studying at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, took place on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the 4th, sth, and 6th inst., on which occasion the institution was honoured with the presence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. Tho other members composing the Collegiate Board were Lieutenant-General Sir George Scovell, K.C.8., the Governor; Major-General Thomas W. Taylor, C. 8., the Lieutenant-Governor ; and Lieut.-Colonel George W. Prosser, the Major and Superintendent of Studies. At the close of the exatnivati ..oua cho following officers were presented with the usual certificates of qualifica tion:— Captain W. Sankey, lst West India Regiment. Captain W. Boyle, 89th Regiment. Captain J. H. Kirby, 56th Regiment. Captain H. Townsend, 14th Regiment. Lieutenant J. Fraser, 60th Regiment. Lieutenant E. S. Powys, 61st Regiment. In consequence of the proficiency of Lieutenant Fraser, and the superior talents and acquirements displayed by Captain Sankey in the highest branches of mathematical science, special honorary additions were made to their certificates ; and the high qualifications of Captain Sankey in military surveying and French ; of Captain Boyle, Captain Townsend, and Lieutenant Powys in French ; of Captain Kirby in fortification and French ; and of Lieutenant Fraser in fortification, French, and German, wero also particularly noticed on their respec tive certificates; and the followine:gentleman cadets, who had completed their qualifications for commissions, were recommended to the General Commanding-in-Chief for appointment to ensigncies in the line without purchase:- 1.

THE MINT AND TREASURY JOBBERY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BEM SIR,—In your paper for the 6th,:appears a forcible letter by "Observer," on the Mint, reformed and unre formed. Since the cry for coin arose, and the different lettersd complaining of the ineffiniencytaf the Mint have appeare I have had tho curiosity to wade through the blue books, the results of the Royal Commission, and am astonished to see the small measures, amounting to meanness, that have been taken in the reformation, — meanness in some instances, gross jobbery in others. In forming the new establishment first, the old deputy. master, Sir James Morriss a, had to be bought off by a retiring pension, larger tan the salary he had enjoyed during the fulfilment of his duties. He got rid of, a new master was appointed in the person of the eminent as tronomer, Sir John llershell ; a gocd name was wanted to give an air of respectability to a not very creditable concern. Then for deputy, the man who was to be the real broom, to do the dirty work, a Captain Harness, protegi of Sir 'Charles Trevelyan, at the handsome salary of 1,0001. a year. After him, one of the old employis, the " clinic of the irons," was reappointed, under a new name. 'This gentleman, one of our greatest chemists, and a most popular lecturer at the Royal Institution, h td to be bribed to remain with an additional 1501. a year the ber:ore not unhandsome salary of 7001. This increase was given as compensation for the loss of private busi ne'as, and on condition that he would for the future 'attend to his public duties, for, hitherto, he had not been able to attend to these latter without terrible hinder arice to his private concerns. These aro reforms with a vengeance !—I am, Sir, yours obediently, Oct. 9th. X, Y. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Your correrpondent " Observer," has`very much undorated the former power and efficiency of the . mint ; for it appears by the evidence taken by a committee of the House of Commons, in 1837, that, in the year 1817, the value of the silver actually coins(' was 4,241,3584, and of gold, 4,261,320/.

The Flowers of the Forest was revived last evening The serious cast remains in all essentials the same as heretofore, with the exception of Starlight Bess, who was formerly played by Mrs. Fitzwilliam, but who loses "no of her force and humour in the hands of Mrs. Keeley. Cheap John, the comicehar b a y ot mr. character, formerly sustained by Mr. Wright, was Played Bed ford. The farce of A Wife for a Day, was revived last night for the reappearance of Mr. Silsbee. The cha rat:ter is that of an uncouth and even clownish Yankee, who, in spite of his rough exterior and his superabund ance of Transatlantic vulgarisms, performs most chival rous feats, taking upon himsalf the odium of a marriage with a very auspicious lady, merely to conceal the fact that she is secretly married to his brother, and under going a host of disagreeables and.perils out of pure fra ternal affection. Mr. Silsbee, in the part of this gallant unwashed, is precisely the same as in the Yankee Plovgh boy; but, if there is not variety is his humour, there is at any rato plenty of unction, and his stories and his• chuckles elicited repeated roars. Tho little part of the French danseuse, the lady about whom all the trouble arises, was sustained in a piquant manner by Mrs. Wigan STRAND T - HEATRE ' Mr. Dumbolton, under whose management this pretty little theatre has been doing a prosperous business with an admirable " sable comp y+ took his benefit last evening, when a new original sketch, by Mr. J. Rogers, was successfully produce d, entitled Paul, or the Fortunate Slave. Poll, Dooley, Price and Co. continue their pe culiar feats with gre at applause nightly, and certainly few places of amusement in the metropolis are better worth visiting than the Strand Theatre as at present conducted. Mr. Dumbolton s managerial exertions were deservedly appreciated by a bumper house.

This list *. we may observe, has been carefully revise d throughout, and perfected by the most painstaking emendations.

The various members will be found classified according to their known opinions, as supporters of the. Government, or of the Oppo sition. During the next few days, those who have not already presented themselves in the Commons, will be duly sworn in before the Speaker; and as the real busi ness of the Session will commence in earnest on Thurs day evening, we doubt *not but that the final republication of these parliamentary returns will be regarded by the great mass of oar readers with satisfaction.
