This Company being now completely registered, the Directors take the earliest opportunity of laying before the Shareholders a statement of its progress and prospects. It may be confidently asserted that no Company was ever brought before the public with equal prospect of speedy and successful results. The prompt assistance afforded by the Shareholders to the Direc tors, and the perfect confidence in the management displayed by them, have enabled the Directors to take such steps as must ensure an enormous dividend within a few months. Sir Henry Huntley, the resident Director in California, has been in that country five months, and the course adopted by the Directors for carry ing out this enterprise results from the expe r i e nce obtained i him during that period. The instructions given to Sir He n ry Hunt ey were, in effect, that he should make every possible inquiry relative to the state of the country, the tenure of land, thec r o i t e n te partitive merits of the different quartz veins in the severalD Directors Of California, and after mature deliberation to a dvise the ireete m as to their best course of proceedi n g , and to take such measures would enable them to carry out his v i e ws as s p eedily as possible. Following these instructions, he has secured for the benefit of the Company, sufficient lands for all mining purposes ; but he is clearly of opinion, that for the present, at least, it is not desirable to uader take mining operations, but to crush and amalgamate quartz to be supplied by those who are possessel of mines, and have raised the quartz. With the assistance of some gentlemen of great experience in geology and mining matters, he has inspected and tested a great variety of veins in the Mariposa, Nevada, Grass Valley, and other districts, and has come to the conclusion, , Upon sound reasons, that the vicinity of Grass Valley and Nevada City, is that which affords the greatest advantages for care_ Tying on our enterprise. He has, therefore, entered into an agree ment with some American gentlemen, who have formed a company, and have opened, and, to a considerable extent, worked a vein of quartz, dhtant about three miles from Grass Valley and Nevada Cite, and about thirty miles from Sacramento City. to crush and amalgamate the quartz to be raised irom the mine opened by them. By means of machinery, he has already cru hed and amalgamated considerable quantities of the quartz sup plied him from this mine; and the r. sett of his operations has been to satisfy himself that the vein is of a full average richness, and that the locality offers many important advantages in the way of water, fuel, means of transit, &c., &c. He has, there fore, entered into a formal agreement with that Company, which, in a few words, amounts to this: he is to be supplied by them with as Much quartz as his machinery shall be found capable of crushing ; the quartz is to be deposited at the mills free of expense ; he is to crush and amalgamate it at his own expense, and he gold produced is to be divided equally between the owners of the vein and our Company. Formal and legal agreements for carrying out the above arransement fairly and honestly, and Without any copartnership, have been entered into. Steam-engines and machinery estimated to crush about thirty tons of quartz a day, with fends sufficieet for putting it in motion, have been placed under the control of Sir Henry Huntley; and, unless some unexpected delay has arisen, the machinery is now actually at work, and a return will be made about Christmas next. For the satisfaction of the existing shareholders of this Company, and without wishing, in any manner, to deteriorate from the merits of other Companies, the Directors ate desirous of calling attention to some of the more prominent advantages possessed by this Com pany over others now in the field. Shareholders in other Companies must mainly rely upon reports sent over by persons interested in Selling the mine; we rely upon the reports of our own resident Director and his practical assistants on the spot, whose only interest is to give us facts. The Directors of other Companies generally base the estimate of the value of their mine upon calculations founded on experiments upon a few pieces of specimen quartz, sent over to this country for the express purpose of advertising the commodity offered for sale to the British public; we found our calculations upon experiments tried, during several weeks, on quartz raised from the mine, and crushed and amalgamated by our own Superintendent, and with our own machinery and apparatus. Other Companies propose to incur the expense and risk of carrying out mining operations xpen their vein, before the quartz arrives at their mill, and, should their labours prove successful, they must then pay out of their profits large per-centages for obtaining their leases, and large royal ties to their lessors ; whereas we have secured as much quartz as our machinery is capable of crushing, the title to which is as secure as that of any other company, unfettered by any per-centage or royalty. The half of the produce to be paid by this Company to the Parties who supply us, free of expense, with the quartz, being in fact Merely equivalent to the dividend upon the outlay of capital ex pended in raising the quartz, and lodging it 'it the mill. All the new companies, unlike this, must be a considerable time before their arrangements and machinery can be ready for carrying out their schemes—this Company alone is actually at work. The paid-up capital of the Company will not exceed 20,000/. An almost certain estimate of the produce of our machinery can be formed, and, from the calculations made, the Directors confidently anticipate being able even at the most moderate estimate, to afford a dividend of 200 per cent., at the least, within the next twelve Months. According to the data furnished to us, the quartz which we are now working yields upen an average 4d. per pound, or 1/. I7s. 4d. per cwt., or 371. 6s. Bd. per ton • and, as we can crush and amalgamate at least 20 tons per di em , would amount to 7461. 13s. 4d., or 3731. s. Bd. per diem as the share of this Company By the peculiar arrangements this Company has made, based Upon practical experience, the economy in working expenses must necessarily be such as to render the current outlay most trifling. In case circumstances should induce the Directors to alter the Systemnow adopted, and lead them to undertake mining operations of th e ir own, arrangements have been made securing four distinct Idles. most carefully selected for their eligibility for mining pur poses, and Sir H enry H untley has on the spot Cornish miners who went out with him, and who have voluntarily retendered him their Services. The gentlemen who formed the Provisional Committee of this Company, have added to their number several gentlemen possessing the acquaintance and entire confidence of a very large body of Shareholders in the provincial districts. To add such men to the Directory was due to those Sha re h o ld ers w h o h ave i n f ac t estab lished and nobly supported this Company. Measures will be taken for further augmenting the Directory, and a Special sieneral Meet ing of the Shareholders will be convened for the middle of January. In conclusion, the Directors beg to offer their best thanks to the Shareholders for the uniform support they have received, and they Pledge themselves that the affairs of this Company shall be con ducted with the most rigid economy, and with the sole view of for warding the interest of the Shareholders. The Directors beg to call the attention of Shareholders particularly to the fact that, from the system adopted by this Company, it can not be affected by the question now agitated between the holders of leases and Colonel Fremont or his agents. The district selected for the operations of this Company is far removed from the tract claimed by Colonel Fremont. The difficulty arising out of the many points now raised relative to the tenure of land under leases, had beets long known to and was maturely considered by those having the control of the affairs of this Company, and was one of the reasons which in duced them to pursue for the present the course they have, and not to incur certain heavy expenses with doubtful results. The Directors trust that Shareholders will approve of the prudence Of the course they have adopted. Prospectuses may be had upon application at the offices of the Company.

Burnett's disinfecting fluid to keep off, or in the d w with h a I g h a e i against a danger,mivat examination n and until next consequently w ee kthe hope of keepin g off, p es til ence .

This staff was sup plied to the Admiralty and delivered into store at the Clarence-yard last November twelvemonth, warranted equal to sample and to keep sound and consumable for five years. We are informed it came from Galata, in Moldavia. The few canisters co ntainin g meat fit for human beings to eat have been distr ibuted, under the direction of Captain Superintendent Parry, to the de serving poor of the neighbourhood, and those containing the putrid stock have been conveyed to Spithead in lighters and thrown overboard. The consequences of such frauds as this cannot be too seriously estimated. Suppose, for instance, Franklin and his party to have been supplied with such food as that condemned, and re lying upon it as their mainstay in the time of need, the very means furnished for saving their lives may have bred a pestilence or famine among them and been their destruction. The Champion, 14, Commander J. M. Hayes, was inspected this afternoon at Spithead, for the Port-Ad miral by Captain H. B. Martin, C. 8., the Flag Captain, pa T id he off . after which she came into harbour to be dismantled and Britannia, 120, Captain Goldsmith, is expected to go to,Spithead about the 27th inst. The Birkenhead iron steam-frigate, Master-Com mander Salmond, embarked detachments of troops to day and left at dusk with them for Queenstown. The troops consisted of draughts of the 12th Lancers and 43d Foot. The ship's company of the Neptune, 120, ordinary depot ship, will be paid cff from the Britannia's books on Friday next. The Echo tug brought up from Cowes yesterday and to-day several companies of the 67th Regiment, which landed at the dockyard, and marched thence to the Brighton Railway terminus at Landport, whence they proceeded by special train for Dover, stopping at Brigh ton for the night. They replace the 60th Rifles at Dover. The ship's company of her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.H., were paid six months' wages at the Pay-office yesterday. Mr; Stevens, late gunner of the Cockatrice, and a few nvalids, came home passengers in the Champion, which has been in commission three years and eleven swaths; she has been a very comfortable ship, and has been re markably healthy, not having lost a single person from sickness since she was commissioned. She was inspected and exercised at gunnery practice this afternoon by Cap tain B. Martin, of the Victory. She will take out her powder this evening, and come into harbour to-morrow, to prepare for paying off. A seizure of 76 tubs and 1 flagon of foreign brandy and Geneva, together with a boat, one Englishman and three Frenchmen, was eff nred on the 26th ultimo, by Mr. Charles Van Zuilicom (late East India Company's service), chief officer and the crew of the Portland station. _ _ ...........„.__ . . , wai we . --.

The Foreign Secretary who has served under many Ad ministrations has at length ceased to hold office, and every body is giving a different reason for the separation. Some attribute it to the turn of affairs in France, some to his Marylebone friends, with their address and resolution and his Lordship's answer, some to a personal difference with Earl grey about matters which do not come to light all at once, but the fact of his Lordship's separation from the rest of the Cabinet is much regretted by many.

Wheat is held with great firmness at Is advance, which in some degree limits business, but there is ultimately a fair sale, and the market closes with a healthy tone. Barley is scarce, and eagerly taken at an advance of is to 2s per qr., which enables us to in crease our quotations for malt 2s per load. Oats and shelling sell in retail at late prices. No alteration in Old. other articles. WHEAT, per qr. 601bs per bushel:— s. .. Suffolk, Essex, and Kent, red ... —to Ditto, white ...

Barley moderate supply, and in brisk demand, fine malting being is to 2s per quarter higher, and other descriptions advanced fully is per quarter. Beans, oats, and peas, short supply, and in limited demand at late rates. LIVERPOOL, JAN. 2.—The Corn Exchange this morn ing was well attended by buyers from wide and distant points, and a good business was transacted in wheat and flour, at an advance since Tuesday of ld to 2d per bushel on all descriptions of wheat, and 6d per sack and Is per barrel on flour. Some parcels of the former changed hands on speculition. There was less doing in Indian corn to-day, and speculation was a shade easier. Osts and oatmeal brought fully Tuesdayis rates. Nu- thing of importance stirring in barley, beans, or peas. BANGOR, JAN. 2.—Wheat was dull of sale, but home growth 365 to 38e; barley, 28s to 295; oats, 163 to 18s; oatmeal, 26a per 2401b5.

LIVERPOOL WOOL, JAN. I.—lmports the past week consist of 86 bags Lisbon, and 514 bags Australian, from Sydney and New Z a.latifl. Business is steady and prices stiff, in fine wools and combing fleeces; but low wools being more plentiful than of late are scarcely so firm. TRADE OF LEEDS.—Business has been very quiet at our Cloth Halls, both on Saturday and Tuesday, but there is a general feeling in the trade that goods have seen their lowest price, and that after stock taking there is likely to be considerable improvement. There have been very few buyers in the town during the week, and little has been done in the warehouse. The foreign houses are doing less than usual at this season, but there has been cln.iderably more inquiry for goods for the Canadian market. TRADE OF LEICESTER.—As usual in Christmas week, bat little has been done in the warehouses. Owing to , the caution adopted both by buyers and manufiesurers, stocks on hand are not heavy, and a fair demand for use ful goods is expected. Wools continue firm, with a ten dency upwards. Considkrs.ble sales of yarns have been made under the impression that an advancem2nt must take place in them, the price ranging so much below the cost of wool. BRADFORD, JAN. I.—Wool.—The market opens with the first day of the year, and we cannot report any de gree of buoyancy on the part of the spinners towards buying, the purchases made two or three weeks back being beyond their wants for immediate use. The transactions in the country are not quite so lively. YARNS.—The year just closed has been one of a very cheerless character. Throughout the whole period wool has varied very little, perhaps not more than id to ld per lb on the extreme quotations. Yarns have fallen to a price unparalleled in the remembrance of the oldest engaged in the trade, while wool and labour were not affected. Although more spindles are in work than in October, yet the quantity totally idle and others only partially employed must have its effect in bringing about a better state of things, for at the present price of wool and yarns no one can realise cost, and we trust this year will not far advance before a decided improvement in the price of yarns is current. PIECES.—The opening of the year, we are glad to say, is more favourable to the manu f ac t u rers than the one Just closed. The merchants perhaps never bought less grey cloth than in the three months just ended, and the dyers have been exceedingly slack, but we may reasonably expect more animated doings as the season progresses. There does not appear to be two opinions about the price of goods, for it is certain that any change must be for an advance, or the present groat number of unemployed looms will be in creased rather than diminished, small as the stock of goods throughout the trade may be. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, JAN. 1 —The market this morning was of a very languid character. New Year's day is always a eemi•heliday here; in the morning rather more than half the, shops, and rather less than half the warehouse), only opening their doors, whilst in the afternoon the streets are comparatively deserted, the places of business closed, and the town assumes a very quiet Sabbath-like appearance. The Exchange has been open, but the attendance was very limited. Besides the usual disposition to inactivity, there is also the fact that when the America steamer (which arrived hero on Mon day) left New York, the news of the French coup d'etat had not arrived, and this, which is expected to produce an effect on the cotton market, disposes buyers to hold back in the hope of effecting purchases on easier terms. The discovery, at the annual stock-taking in Liverpool, of an excess of 44000 bales of cotton over the previous estimates of stock on hand, has also had a slight ten dency in the same direction, having already caused prices to give way there to the extent of *d per lb. For printing cloths, and the better qualities of shirting, the sale, so far as it had gone this morning, was at steady prices; but in other descriptions of cloth, including madappolams and jacconnets. and in some numbers of yarn prices were a shade easier.

TINIES.—The ceremony at the Cathedral of Notre Dame, which combined in one solemnity the com mencement of the new year and the commencement of what may be termed the new reign, was accompa nied by all that magnificence of display which is so well understood by the priests, the military, and the upholsterers of Paris. To such of the spectators of this new pageant as cared for anything beyond the fugitive splendour of the hour, the most striking part of it must have been the contrastLieetween the scene before them and the long series of events in which it forms a part. Upon how many triumphs and how many dynasties, upon how much of life an how much of death, upon what endless mutability of 'greatness and of fortune, have the ancient altars and arches of Notre Dame looked down ! The church has withheld her incense and her consecrating wafers from no votaries of power that approached her shrines. Her Te Deums have pealed alike for every victory in every cause of the just and of the unj ast ; nor has she inquire I aught of the fate of those who heveyassed in rapid succession from the loftiest scenes of earthly homage to the suffering and degradation of de thronement, exile, and defeat. With no disposi tion to speak or think lightly of those religious engagements which constitute the most appro priate sanction of the great actions of society and government, we cannot hold observances sacred which are only used to gloss over a patent violation of law and justice, nor is it a palliation of actions so opposed to the rules of human morality that their authors still presume to invoke the favour of Heaven. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte has reached Notre Dame and the Tuileries. He sees beneath him a nation pros trate and subservient to his will. He has been borne onwards by a tide of events independent, in many respects, of his own character or abilities. Without the genius or the extraordinary achievements of his uncle, he finds himself in a position not very dis similar from that which would have descended to him by the Senatus Consultum of 1804 ; and be com mences his irresponsible administration of France at an age not much inferior to that at which the Emperor Napoleon closed his career. Thus far everything has favoured his ambition. The destruction of constitu tional monarchy was accomplished not by himself, but by the RepUblic; the Republic inflicted on the nation j ust enough of humiliation and terror to induce the French to hail their deliverer with an unanimity due chiefly to the sense of their own danger and weakness. Nothing was wanting to complete the predominant illusion of the hour. Yet, to the more cool and dispassionate eyes of the world there is something unreal in this mock throne, which has risen like the decoration of a pantomime; something unnatural and artificial in,the impulse which has precipitated 8,000,000 of men to declare their faith in a Government whose character would not be improved if it were better known, and in institutions chiefly adopted because they are not known at all. Assuming, however, as it is now our duty to do, that the late revolution has passed beyond the reach of our diurnal commentary, and belongs henceforth to history, we readily acknowledge that Louis Napoleon is entitled in fairness to be judged by his future acts, and we wish we could foresee that those acts are likely to induce us to reverse any por tion of the opinions we have recorded on the origin of his power. Up to the revolution of ,the 2d of De cember it was constantly asserted that his vigorous conceptions and enlightened intentions were frustrated by the machinations of the Na tional Assembly. The responsibility he now bears is undivided, and he himself assured the Consultative Commission, on the last day of the year, that "be hoped to found institutions which respond at the same time to the democratic instincts of the nation, and to the universally expressed desire to have a strong and respected Government; in short, to create a system which reconstitutes authority without wounding the feeling of equality, and so to lay the foundations of the only edifice capable of sup porting a wise and beneficent liberty." The value of these expressions remains to be ascertained by expe rience ; for though we are accused by Louis Napo leon's partisans of a narrow and ignorant insensibility to the brilliancy and novelty of the system he is now about to introduce to the world, we shall suspend our judgment till such time as its results are made known to us. In the meanwhile we are not ashamed to con fess our incredulity of any new or startling discoveries in political science. All that we have lately seen bears a striking resemblance to occurrences as old as the de praved empire of later Rome. Much indeed of what is modern and excellent in social or political improvement —freedom of trade, the destruction of monopolies, the right of unlimited testamentary disposition, the power of association, and many institutions of a phi lanthropic character—are new to France, and might be introduced into her social system with advantage to the nation at large. But . which of these reforms can be expected from an arbitrary Government, with out the liberty of the press and without the support of the intelligent classes which is so essential to the defence of enlightened innovations? The very touch of despotic power petrifies that vital energy without which no social changes can be successfully accom plished ; and as for the notion that the active and con tinual intervention of the State is to provide employ ment for the industrious, relief for the poor, and re sources for the whole community, that is a delusion akin to M. Louis Blanc's organization of labour, which must end in pauperism and ruin. The princi ple of equality may indeed be respected, for that principle is nowhere so consistently applied as in States where all men are equally dependent on a common master, and in which one man is exalted that all others may be equally depressed. But these are the institutions of Turkey rather than of France, and it is impossible in a nation where talent and industry are perpetually struggling for distinctions of every kind, that society , should be reduced to the dead level of Oriental barba rism. Nay, the very acts of Louis Napoleon, as well as of the Emperor Napoleon, show that such is not their policy. Their political councils bear the stamp of privileged bodies, their influence over the army is strengthened by the attractions of a military aristo cracy, and, though the President may brave the middle classes, he will neither attack the highest nor affront the lowest order of the people. The Constitu tion will more perfectly disclose the forms by which the Government is to be conducted, but they are of secondary importance, since the whole spirit and policy of the Administration are to be those of Louis Napoleon himself. We give him credit for a desire to succeed in the task which he has assumed, since the duration of his own power must eventually depend on the satisfaction he may afford to the expectations of the country. But the promises he has given, the hopes he has raised, perhaps the notions he has him self formed, appear to us to differ widely from the practical and positive necessities of his position ; and we fear that the lofty idea of a transcendental empire will soon turn out to be neither other nor better than the old devices and oppressions of vulgar despotism. HERALD.—Louie Napoleon has inaugurated his new power with Regal, or rather let us say Imperial splendour. All that remains of public institutions in France, everything around which there clings an agreeable association—the Church, the army, the magistracy, and the municipalities, have been duly marshalled into a magnificent tableau, of which the son of Louis, the best of Napoleon's brothers, and the Emperor's destined heir, forms the main figure, es. to which the rest are but sub ordinate appendag Escorted from Notre Dame, where the ceremonies, purposely copied after those of the imperial corona- Lion, by civil and military aut horities to the Tuile ries, where he, the Emperor' s heir, was born,s what still small voice of prudence or of p olic y forbid him to take the crown for which h e need only stretchoforet h his hand ?

Still, it would be a rash sort of speculation, that which would pretend to forecast the operation of a mind exposed to the influe ence of unparalleled circumstances. Hitherto Louis Napoleon has exhibited unusual mastery over himself under circumstances of irritating provocation. There can be no doubt that when the worst construct: w as put upon his motives and conduct—when he was insulted and snubbed from the tribune of the Assembly by some of the most trusted leaders of the majority, and the minority encouraged to mark its derision—when he was treated as one under a sur veillance which was only to terminate at Vincennes, —there can be no doubt that throughout these tan talising circumstances he felt as well aware of the popular masses of atrength at his disposal as he did on Wednesday evening at the moment the Consultative Commission announced to him formally the result of his appeal to the country. To the five millions and a half who in 1848 gave their votes to a name, are now added two millions more to the ruler, of whom they have all had three years' experience. To himself may he take the credit of this great manifestation of a nation's confidence. "What will he do with it ?" will be - asked by every thinking per son in all parts of the civilized world. Some will attribute good, and others the reverse of vool intentions. There are those who will fial shelter for their own sagacity in mixed motives. Will the man control circumstances, or circumstances the man? Will he adroitly temporise, and try to evade and turn difficulties, or yield impulsively to the first sudden gust of milit a ry enthusiasm or popular passion ? What he has been will he continue to be —a calm sagacious judge of passkg ev&nts. Used as he is to reflection on history and politics, tempered and tried in prison solitude—used to the exercise of mind, unused to the exercise of arms; at that mature rrittile-age period of life when habits and tastes are formed, and passions for unaccustomed adventure not easily begot—may it not be hoped that his ambition will be that of the law-giver rather than that of the conqueror ? Under the cold exterior of that impas sible man there lies a deep enthusiasm. That cool head is not free from mysticism. He believes in his star, and he has run the course of semi-Socialist reflections, argu ing aspirations rather after improvements of society by moans of better systems than of warlike adventures. The victories of Napoleon have vanished as the mere pageantry of history—the Code rests the great solid memorial of his fame. So far such indications as we have seen of Louis Napoleon's disposition point to administration. Having turned his attention long and gravely to Socialist doctrines, he has discovered their unsoundness: and their inevitable results in a subversion of society and irremediable anarchy. With more doubtful and less certain reasonings, he has come to equally adverse conclusions as regards representative institutions. Viewed as a temporary system and limited expedient, we might be argued into the propriety of allowing the all-controlling power with which the French Executive means to endow itself. Society has received such a shake as to need perhaps the unshackled exercise over it of a single arm. French parties are so disorganized and broken up, and the leading men of the country so filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, that it may be the case that at this moment there would not be the means of getting together a numerous As sembly ready to make those sacrifices of personal feeling to the general tranquillity which the President and his Government deem to be indispensable. But, however, constitutional Government, as we understand it, with its checks and balances, with an independent chamber, treating, as if a high court of appeal, the laws sent up by the more impassioned and more de pendent representatives of popular constituencies, the whole kept in proper place by unquestionable autho • rity—this system, proved by experience to be so well suited to the present state of society, is one to which we think France will in calmer times revert as if by natural impulse. Whether Louis Napoleon means that the charter which, with the sanction of the French people, he is about to bestow, limiting very materially tile scope of Parliamentary privileges as hi therto received—whether he means that this shall be permanent, is more than we can even surmise; nor need we dwell in conjectures upon the subject, because his own sagacity may fairly be trusted to meet the exi gencies of future requirements. In his present actions he shows remarkable acquaintance with the character of the French people. The Parisians are delighted at seeing the Tuileries thrown open for receptions, which recal the happy times of Royalty, because, notwith standing the unsteadiness of their political principles, they are, of all people in the world, rendered the most uncomfortable by a derangement of their social habits. The name of President of the Republic signifies little, so long as they have the spectacle, the pomp, the pageantry, and all the circumstances of a metropolitan Court. Public show is a necessary of Paris public life, which even the Provisional Government acknow ledged when, instead of Spartan or Roman severity, they borrowed the ballet dancers of the Opera to fill parts in Pagan processions, and organized public fetes more suited to a luxurious empire in its decline than to a young republic. If power, whatever be its name or form, must have scenic decorations, better surely the solemnities of Notre Dame and thsi Tuileries than the monster reviews of 300,000 National Guards, and the open-day semi-nudities of the Champs de Mars. In ,tead, therefore, of seeing the Empire in the New Year's-day ceremonies of Paris, we rather recognise certain scenic necessities skilfully adapted to the tastes of a sight-loving population. DAILY NEWS.—Ir, is asserted that one of the reasons of Lord Palmerston's retirement was the de mand, or something like a demand, made by a high member of the Cabinet—not Lord John Russell—of a personage in the confidence of the Elye6a, to obtain an assurance from Louis Napoleon that be meant scrupulously to respect the treaties of Vienna. Could this be announced at the opening of Parliament, it would, it was said, be of the best effect. We by no means wish to give any opinion at present on the wisdom or the inexpediency of making such a de mand. Bat we are compelled to state it, in order to record the very important fact that such demand was not complied with. Our contemporary, the Times, which revealed to the world the fact of the demand, now admits that it was met by evasion or refusal. The Times adds that Louis Napoleon is about to send confidential agents to the four chief Courts which constitute the Powers of the Congress of Vienna, in order to sound their opinions on different subjects, but especially relative to how far the delimitations of the treaty of Vienna are to be consi dered sacred. Our correspondent writes, that it is M. Persigny who is to proceed to Frankfort, there to commune with the representatives of the great powers assembled in the Diet. M. Persigny went upon a similar errand before. At a time when Prussia was making head against a hostile league, of which Aus tria and Bavaria were the chief members, Louis Na poleon sent M. Persigny to Berlin, where it is well known he made offer of all aid and alliance, provided he were allowed to take that portion of the Bavarian Palatinate left to France in the treaty of 1814, but. taken from France in the treaty of 1815, by way c'. l punishment for the outburst of Waterloo. This t rac k contains the important fortress of Landau, as well Landau was Louis, Philippeville, and Merienburg.

The only difference was, that M. Thiess hoped to gain the res tit u tion with the assent an d su pport of England, the elder Bourbon with the assent and support of Russia. M. Persigny represented that it was a com mon object to all the sovereigns of the con ti nen t th a t Louis Napoleon should succeed, should put d ow n the and d that for thi s p ur p ose it have something to show republic w as requisite and anarchy, that he should to France with pride, as his acquisition for her.

It does not be Whatcon he c ontent t appear that M. • P ersigny's representation made the least i • mpression upon the Court of Berlin, which had enough of • • enmities on its hands , without embarking in a ' french alliance, and which, whatever its cause of . complaint against Bavaria and Austria, could scarcely have lent itself to a convention that would have deprived her own Rhenish possessions of their German frontier and defence. M. Persigny failed, as a Presidential diplomatist. He is now about to try whether he may not succeed as an Imperial one. A great deal might be said on both sides. But for the present we - can augur nothing but failure and disappointment from the mission of M. Persigny and of the other Napo leonite envoys in their efforts to get the territorial arrangements of 1815 altered for those of 1814. It is to be now regretted that the three great Powers have shown so little respect for that treaty of Vienna whose decision they affect to regard as sacred. Russia has done precisely what she pleased with these treaties, in the case of Poland and of Cracow. The treaty of Vienna stipulated that German States should have constitutions, and that certain German cities should be independent and free. When the Powers of the East insist on Louis Napoleon rigidly respect ing the treaties of Vienna, he can reply, ° In what I propose I respect them just as much as you have done yourselves." Should the diplomacy of the Elysea assume this tone, it would at least not be weak in its logic, however defective in principle or honesty. on GAVAZZI AT EXETER HALL.—Last night Father Gavazzi delivered one of his stirring addresses at Exeter Hall upon the spiritual and te nporal influences of the Papacy.

A proceeding of a somewhat extraordinary character occurred yesterday, before Mr. Justice Erle, at Cham bers, with reference to the ease of card-cheating at Brighton (the Queen v. Broome and others), and which it will be remembered was a prosecution against the defendants on a charge of cheating a young gentleman, named !lamp, at cards, during the last Brighton races. While the Learned Judge was occupied with a case in which counsel were engaged Mr. Sill, who, up to the present time, has conducted the prosecution in the alleged card-cheating case, suddenly entered his Lord ship's room, accompanied by Mr. Hemp, and followed by Harry Broome, the brother of the defendant Broome, and several other persons. Mr. Sill, addressing the Learned Judge, begged to apologise for the interruption, and proceeded to say, that whilst waiting on some business in the adjoining room his attention had been called by Mr. Justice Co l er id g e ' s clerk to an application for an order in the case of " The, Queen v. Broome and others," for a writ of certiorari, and also to change the venue from Sussex to Middlesex. Mr. Justice Erle—What is the nature of the charge against tee prisoners ? Mr. Sill—That of conspiring to cheat and cheating at cards. Mr. Justice Erle—What is the amount of the prose cutor's recognizance ? Mr. Sill replied 5001., and went on to say that about ten days ago an application was made exparte to Mr. Justice Coleridge for a similar order, but that Learned Judge refused to make it. His Lordship, however, granted permission for a summons to issue calling upon the prosecutor and his attorney to n geruast no summons had been served upon s h ow cause why the or d er s h ou ld no t b e made. Now, a l t hough he (Mr. Sill) was k nown t o be the attorney for him, and it was now sought t o o bt a in the order by per :mn auy forward the prosecutor, accompanied by is attorn e y, t o con sent thereto. His (Mr. Sill's) attention h av i ng b een t h us ca ll e d to th e ma tter, Mr. Hamp was a s k e d b y M r . J us tice Coleridge's c l er k who his attorney w as , w h en h e rep li e d," Mr. Sill." some the e s t prosecution,rputtinga Broome, the pugilist, the brother of one of the defen dants, having attempted to interfere, he (Mr. Sill) had felt it to be his duty to apply to his . Lordship for pro tection, for the prosecutor who had been tampered with for the manifest purpose of stifling the prosecution; and be trusted that his Lordship would ascertain from Mr. H em p who his proper attorn,ey was, and thereby at once dispose of the application for the certiorari and for the change of venue. H. Broome here made an attempt to speak to the pro secutor, on which Mr. Sill appealed to his,Lordship to prevent such in terference, and to order the parties from the room which was done accordingly. Mr. Justice Erie then asked Mr. Hemp what attorney he had employed, and en that gentleman naming Mr. Sill, his Lordship said, that there was an end of the appli cation for the certiorari, and the change of venue, and addressing Mr. Hamp, warned him of the impropriety of listening to any overtures from the prisoners or persons employed by them, and of the danger he encountered as to his recognizances, and proceedings being taken against him. His Lordship also pointed out to him the neces sity of his being advised by his own attorney in the matter. Mr. Sill here said it would now be clear to his Lord ship how easily the defendants might prevail upon the prosecutor, and the present might therefore be the proper time to apply to his Lordship for an order to produce before the magistrates at Brighton the affidavits which had been used in the application to Mr. Justice Coleridge, it being intended to substitut e Captain Chase, the chief officer of police at as Brighton se prosecutor, in the stead of Mr. Hamp, who would thus be freed from the corrupt overtures of the defendants. Mr. Justice Erle—You may take an order W produce all affidavits. Any person may be bound over that the magistrates may think fit, and any person may prefer a bill of indictment at the assizes. Mr. Sill inquired whether he had his Lord s hip' s per mission to convey his Lo rdshi p 's opinion to the magis trates at Brighton? Mr. Justice Erle—Certainly , if s`r it is of any service; but I have no doubt the magistrates will be prepared to do their duty; Mr. Sill then, accompanied by Mr. Hemp, retired, and the required order to produce the affidavits before the Brighton magistrates was,drawn up. The singular character of the proceedings created some excitement and amusement among the professional and other gentlemen present.
