B.—The Commissioners of Police might probably be justified in interfering where the proposed experi ment were one of a decidedly dangerous nature; but in ordinary cases we conceive they have no such right. helittlka Aitit LONDON, SATURDAY,AUGUST 2i, 1852. There are certain common decenci es f b ig e latly vio beor expression ‘,vhich, we conceive, ought never to Lisbo n lated by the journalist. It -- would courteous, for example, in a newspape r of peak of the Emperor of all the RussLis as—M r , to ..4 . ICHOLAS, any more than it would be c i v i l in r . : newspaper of Paris to mention our Most Gracious SOVEREIGN as—Mrs• VICTORIA. Yet the commonest regulations of etiquette are being now-a-days p erpe . tually violated amongst ourselves —flagrantly, and deliberately, and without the slightest vestige of pro vocation —in regard to the brave French people, through the person of the accepted leader of their Go vernment. In the Parisian press we never find the Queen of the UNITED KINGDOM scurrilouslY alluded to, again and again, as Mrs. VICTORIA. Yet in the London Press on the other hand—or r ather we should say with a somewhat more definite particu arity--an one section of the London Press it is re -I:,eatedly observed that the PRESIDENT of the French public is spoken of, over and over again, as Men ...)ur BONAPARTE. Supposing for an instant that there were anything at all pretending to wit in the expres sion, it to might of course just once in a way be barely tau 'er4te f d i3 ' ar ß n ut instead of wit the phrase breathes to the dietat i e gate. It betrays an utter obtuseness apart from the most ordinary delicacy. It is all of whateve r , of ei a tii rgnroent. It partakes in no degree, subtle attributes of the most obvious or the most It is the humorous. It is simply an impertinence. as a coalheaver mialimpertinence, moreover, such luring a moment e f g uo t co in dulge in once in a way certainly passion, but which the coalheaver would utterance to, as Mrs. p ipEu TlY refrain from giving visalest, happiest joke ever made m u t e ' rePeatually.” The . en n tl continual repetition. The p oor e c e st e " ril Y pall upon a baldest joke must, still more flattest, actually intolerable when reiterated Y, become that in its best light was never at a phrase at all, but merely a gratuitous 4ntoYke n joke flagrant disrespect and uncalled-f or discout of becomes at last as odious a s in the first i nstant it :7' unendurable.

If he has been guilty of faults—denounce them. If he has perpetrated any heinous crime against the law of nations or against the liberties of France—proclaim their atro city upon every possible occasion, and do so (in GOD'S name) in language of the most bitter and the most profound indignation. But don't twaddle everlastingly about " Monsieur BONAPARTE " as though the mere name (surely, a glorious name enough in the world's history !) were a brand and an accusation ! It is the sad old story over again. It is the same ignorant spirit of intolerance that set the world in flames at the beginning of the nineteenth cen tury. At that period a portion of the London newspapers were raving against the " Corsican Usurper." Another portion is now with the same dogged pertinacity reving:agsinst " Monsieur BONA PARTE." To talk thus violently and: intem perately, and yet to babble about the main tenance of peace between the two coun tries, is the sheerest farce imaginable. Why, these opprobrious assailants themselves are the real engenderers of that very ill -feeling against which they pretend to declaim with so much solicitude. To dream of preserving amicable relations with LOUIS NAPOLEON'S Government, and yet at the same time to be always abusing the PRINCE PRESIDENT by the most coarse invectives, and the most scurrilous per sonalities, is about as rational as to expect to re tain the friendship of a man at the very moment you are pelting him with mud and treating him with the most studied indignities. No. Again we say—Whatever Louis NAPOLEON has done deserving reprobation, reprobate—but do not disgrace the English Press by th ese m e a n an d paltry gibes against " Monsieur BONA• rARTE." The " great people of England "—as Mr. MACAULAY has termed them more than once —are surely not such poor little children CS to be carried away in feeling by these paltry and disgrace ful violations of the commonest rules of decorum. France has of her own free will selected the Prince Louis NAPOLEON as the chief magistrate of her Re publican Institutions. She has done this through the Ballot. She has done this through Universal Suffrage. She has done this by nearly 6,000,000, and afterwards by nearly 8,000,000 of the votes of free citizens. It is absurd therefore, in an English newspaper, to talk of the Potentate thus invested with the dignity of the popular franchise— es absurd as it would be (we repeat) for a Portuguese newspaper to talk of the Emperor of RUSSIA as Mr. NICHOLAS ! England pos sesses already the disgrace of having insulted the great NAPOLEON by recognising him as simply " General BosierAßTE" during the period of his cap tivity in St. Helena. Now-a-days—we believe—the conqueror of continental Europe is acknow ledged as both " EMPEROR and KING" by the Governments of all the countries of Christendom. Let not the odium of these paltry ani mosities infect our contemporaries, in these latter days, in reference to the descendant of the Emperor and King NAPOLEON. France hrs surely as much right to create for herself a President, as Prussia a King, as Turkey a Sultan, as Austria an Em peror, as Persia a Schab, as Tartary a Khan, or as Montenegro a Vladika. A snow-ball increases as it rolls along, and so does our Indian Empire. During the last century our territory there has been gradually in course of aug mentation. Lord CLIVE, in self-defence, was com pelled to commence the system of annexation. The native Princes were angry, and not without cause, at the encroachments of the British, and had recourse to arms to resist them. Vain efforts of native nationality, and numbers over European civili zation and discipline. lkingdom after kingdom suc cumbed, and became a British province. Where we did not conquer by actual force of arms, we pre vailed by policy. Some Asiatic rulers, seeing how resistless was the might of British arms and wisdom, sought safety by placing themselves end their terri tories under British protection. They 'speedily lost even the shadow of independence. Gradually they became insignificant—having the trappings without the actual power of Royalty. Their Ministers rarely proved faithful. Iheir subjects soon saw that the name of dominion was all that remained with them. The once. dreaded Satraps dwindled down into British pen sionaries. At last, descending lower in the scale, they lost even their nominal dignities—sometimes selling them for an annual income, sometimes com pelled to abandon them, to secure personal safety. Whoever the Viceroy—whether CLIVE, or - WARREN HASTINGS, or CORNITALLIS, or WELLESLEY, or AMHERST, Or ELLENDOROUGII, or HARDINGE, or DALHOUSIE—it appears as if it were inevitable that the British empire in India must be increased. Per petual attacks against it have led to constant aug mentation of our possesions. The most pacific Go vernor-General was compelled to take the field when attacked, and victory rendered it necessary to confis cate the possessions of the insurgent enemy. In India, if we would, we could not remain without constantly becoming more and more powerful. The Burmese war will eventuate, sooner or later, in the annexation of another kingdom to an already extraordinary empire in India . This may take place almost immediately, or it may be retard e d f or some years. But, sooner or later, the Burman Empire will become a portion of British India. The war which is now raging is wholly defensive on our part —we did not provoke it; but, being wronged, we were com pelled to have resort to arms. We can no t ant i c i pa t e any other result than the subjugation of the Burmese. We beat them once before, some four-and-twenty years ago, and dealt leniently with them. Now, to secure ourselves, we must reduce the Burman Empire to a mere province. If we do not, we shall have an other war, in all likelihood, in another ten or twenty years, and shall have to beat them again. With all this increase of territory, the finances of British India are in a state of confusion and difficulty, while the condition of the natives is anything but prosperous They are poor, over-taxed, miser able ~.people, and the British power has not bro ug h t ha • exhibits happiness to them.. .On the other b and The an an , the income of British India p n r ual . deficit of about 1,500,0001. ster ling.market price of which is of Fast India Stock (the at t s about 2751. for every 1001. they receive a rate of interestmayFunds, more than double what they can gain from the million we assure them a half sterling, is .s_ a thing of very that an annual deficit of a with an annual increase in the D n e b a t n( - 1 serious moment.

We have lately had a few brilliant general practice, from WEL- L ex E c :L p E ton y i to s, Etts thilaouGg, has hen as we state. Evsm a 3 we write our attention las been drawn to a letter from SADUT KHAN, the chief of the Momund chiefs (on the north-west frontier) to the Commis sioners at Peshawer, which energetically embodies the causes of complaint by the natives against the British rulers of India. It says—" You have de prived us of those lands in the Disco ba which we looked upon as our life—the sinews by which we are enabled to exist; these you have wantonly taken from us, neither can you plead aught in justification of your conduct. You know that we have held these grants rent free from time immemorial, and that in gratitude for the privileges we enjoyed, we lived in perfect amity with our more potent neighbours, the former rulers of this country. You were the first to burden us with heavy fixes, and when we found our selves unable to pay these, you attacked and expelled us from our very birthright 1 Was this consistent with the justice end liberality of that glorious Go vernment of which y ou b oas t b e i ng a mem b er ?

By placing yourselves on a level with us, you lcse much of that lustre which adorns your name. As for ourselves, since you ara determined to force us to die of starvation, we have adopted the more manly method of dying with our swords in our hands." There is true eloquence as well as deep pathos in thin, and the aggravation is that it is true. It is such a declaration as an antique Roman might have made in like circumstances — bold yet sad, complaining 'yet dignified, resigned yet heroic. Whatever changes may be made on the renewal of the Charter, or in the Government of India, nobody can doubt the propriety—the necessity of admitting well-qualified natives into the public offices there. If well qualified, by education, there is no reeson why a well-educated native, with good character, should not La admitted into situations, in India, now filled by British subjects. There is no reason why such a mark of inferiority, as exclusion from employment, should ha branded upon the na fives. They ire not inferior in capacity, fidelity, and conduct to the most trusted and trustwor thy Briton. Too long has India been exclusively governed by the Saxons. There are persons in that country even better qualified than Englishmen for situations end appointments now exclusively;,bestowed by Leadenhall-street patronage upon young English men. The natives of India, however, do not want spirit, and ere not crinhed by neglect. They are determined to have their claims, their wants, their deprivations fairly and fully brought before the Bri tish people and the British Legislature; and they can make out a very strong case, indeed, against th e present system of mal-go vernmen t i n Hindostan. THE PORTUGUESE MINISTRY.—We mentioned, some days ago, that Vi l c oun t A LMEYDA , the Foreign Minister in the Portu guese G overnme nt —Nyb 0 was strongly impressed w ith a regar d f or E ng land and a i desire to preser ve f ree an d lib era l principles n Portugal—had r es i gne d office. The morn ing papers of to-day snake the same an nouncement, is from Paris, " by electric tele graph," adding that Don JERVIS D'ATONQUIA, late Minister of Marine, succeeds him. It certainly is very " late news" to tell the public on Saturday what The Sun had announced on the previous Thursday. ---....mmEM........1 THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Nine more votes of the Councils -General appear in the Moniteur. They differ in the form of expression, but the same thought pervcies them all, and four are conceived in the strongest terms. These are the de partments of the Aisne, Lot-et-Garonne, Tarn-et- Garonne, and Hauta-Vienne. The superior importance attaching to the Councils- General has directed attention more especially upon them ; nevertheless every day brings in its quota of the votes adopted hp the Cauncils of Arrondissement before the close of weir short session. The arrondisse ment of Blaye, which appears in the illoniteur of yes terday morning, says—" Oar concurrence and devo tion will not fail you, in commitaug to your hands, in en irrevocable form, the temporary power which the nation has confi , .l€3 to you." _ _ The Assemblie Nationale has the following on the resolutions come to by the Councils-General : " We at present r"o acqua;nted by the Moniteur with the result of the de' berat•ons of fifty-two councils general on what may b 3 called without fear the ques tion on the order of *Lie day. Tne wishes which they express, if' they differ in form, are at bottom the same. We have no desire to conceal it; and if we have hitherto confined ourselves to a summ-17 mention of those deli• beiationi, it is not that which efiliel or astonishes us, as the elect'on of the Ist and Bth of August had pre pared us for them. Inn", some of them, and that the greatest number, ask for stability to be given to onr in stitutions, and the government to be consolidated and perpetua' - !d; others pronounce formally in favour of the re-establishment of the Empire, and for the defini- C.ve corlolida!los of the power in the hands of the heir of the Eml3ror; . others, again, with out as ki ng di rc:rly for any modification in the present regime, ex press their gratitude for the past, and their devoted ness for the iuture, m which leave no doubt as to their disposition. Once more, we say that there aro but shzies of d;ffere nce, the groundwork t Aug the same." The Pays, in its anxiety to eulogi ze th e Govern ment for the concession of the Bordeaux to Cette Railway, has discovered that it will shorten by three months the journey to Ind'a; end the Univers, in an irlicle on the effect that Aar would probably produce on the relations between France and Belgium, has a still more important announcement—viz,, that, by sounding the bank at the mouth of the Thames, the longitude may be discovered ! The writer has only to put in his claim upon the Engliqh Government for the d'scovery of the longitude to be well rewarded for the pains that he has taken to arrive at this knowledge. The Bard of Admiralty will readily forgive the alarm that he must have excited in it by the picture that he draws of the facilities for putting an end to the naval supremacy of England, n i4s appreciation of "re value to the world a t l arge of the simple means of a - cer; . r . ning the longitude, in dropping a line with a lead attached to it, on the bank at the mouth of the Thames. The following are 41- ie remarks of the Moniteur on the leading article of the Times in its number of Saturday last : " We have had several times occasion to remark the malevolence towards the French Government of certain articles in the English journals. We remained silent as long as they only attacked persons, but at present the entire nation is attacked, and it becomes a duty to reply. the Times has devot )d a long article in one of its lest numbers to accumu'ate insult upon France. It compares it to the Bes-Empire, and condemns it to eternal infamy. If the Times was the organ of a nal:on, ours might be affected by its attacks, but that paper, the pu:sionate interpreter of hos`Ue parries since the 2d of December, merely represents an interes 3cl opp)sition; what credi` consequently, is to be given to i's opinions? What right is there to endure teem? Who, in fact, could be lieve, as the Times dares to pre` nd, that we ere disin heiited of all our lights, and that political life exists no longer for us? Universal suffrage in France is the meat unlimited exercise of the power of election for a nation. Wo have said that the Times, in our eyes, is not the organ of tho nation in the name of which it would pretend to speak, Fer from us, therefore, to re criminate against the English institutions; but could not others, less well disposed. do so ? Could not they ask the Times whether England can oppoee to the tranquillity and good order of our universal suffrage its iimited suffrage and its elections accom plished in the midst of all 'se scandals of disgraceful jobbery? Could it not L 3 sail to the Times that in Eng land seats in Parliament belong almost always to the richest —that in France they are free to all without dis tinction ; that there fortune decides—that here the people choose ; th a t w ith us ever ything is the expre ss i on of be national will; that the Chief of the State, the Ceep e .L c , • / . . Council fi , attf; the Councils-General of Departments, elected Councils of Municipal Councils, all are other sidye ofeuliniversality of the ci - z:ns—that on the savours of the i e Channel, on the contrary, everything of rightquality of fortunes as well as the re strictionfirst essay of here. The Times may, if it please, call this most unbounded liberty infamy ; but does it select a happ y ctuc es moment to draw vanity from a system which con t the app re h ens i on o f pu bli c voting and to th e demand place of public eleotf' the substitution of secret voting in the days of July under the ecileion? The Times applauded t h e Republican ovations after nireeehy oftB3o. It approved eeth of Febi um y. Was that because of the conquests made by the people? No ; it was on account of the blood which was shed. • It s g l or ifi ca tions then were a s suspicious as s sp t re e se i tt t dis paragement is °dim u e The ee asrniegain t h Augst was consequently the natur a l effect of aniiP st a h th of " andcalculeroe .

The notion com - bonded th a t no bl e idea, and c eiociated itself withpro it • tli rc 4l g l l9Ut tli C9l3l2tri WWI enthusiasm. Illiti is the S N' SATURDAY EVENING, secret of the envenomed polemic of the Times. Far be it trom ut, to entertain the idea of stopping it. We trust that our prosperity will for a long period supply it with materials. But truth, m a nif este by facts, will, amongst seri , fus men, ever obtain an advantage over the anonymous pamphlet inspired by interest or by passion." The Ocean of Brest states that orders have been received for the application of the steam-screw pro peller to seven vessels which are building in that dock. yard. By decree of the PRINCE -PRESIDENT of the Re public a school of medicine and pharmacy has been creand at Lille. The Moniteur contains a decree to regulate the posting up of painted or permanent placards in public places, and forbidding any such modes of publicity from being used without the special permission of the authorities. Funeral masses were performed on Thursday at the chapel of St. Ferdinand, at Sablonville, being the second anniversary of the death of King Louis p nirap p g . A number of old servants of the ex- R o yal Family, old aides-de-camp, general officers en retraite, and other persons, were present at the cere mony, which was presided over by M.

A violent fire broke out at Hamburgh on the 23d, in a wool magazine, situated in the street called Deichstrasse. It was caused by a lighted candle happening to be overturned upon a bundle of wool. The latest accounts state that the firemen were get ting the better of it, but that the damage was already stated to be more than 200,000 marks. BELGIUM. The following are, according to the Indipendance of Brussels, the reductions in duties which have been consented to by the convention of the 22d inst. on articles connected with typography :—Belgian books which now pay in France a duty of 1071. 50c. and 1601. the 100 kilos, according to their nature, will only pay 20f. White paper, now subjected by the French tariff to a duty of 1601., will be charged 25f. ; the same duty will be charged on coloured and mo rocco papers, which now pay 86f. 50e. and 97f., ac cording to quality. O n e ngra v i ngs an d lith ograp h ic prints, engraved music and geographical maps, the duty is reduced from 317 f. 50c. to 201.

CONTINENTAL ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS.--Vir„ c read in the Savoy Gazette that the electric telegraph Which con nects London with Paris, and which will soon connec t it with Lyons, Chambery, Turin, and Genoa, is to be prolonged to La Spezzia by the S a rdinian Gov ernment. From that port, the Submarine Company, it is said, is to sink au electric cable to the Island of Gorgona, and from thence another to Bastin. The French Government will then continue the line by land at its own expense to Ajaccio, and the narrowest poi n t o f the Straits of Bonifa c io, where a ca ble, 14 kilometres in length, will, at the expense of the company, establish a communica tion with Sardinia, which the Piedrnontese Government will continue to Cagliari. But M. Bunelh, the author of this plan, does not stop here. lle hasp roposrd to the Submarine Company to prolong the cable to Tunis, whence Prance would conduct wires to Bougie and Algiers, while England would conduct others to Tripoli, Alexandria, Coiro, and Suez. By this means Algiers would be brought within a few seconds of I'aris, and news from India might reach London in little more than a week. The dividend on the Cuba loan of 1834 and 1837, falling due on th e sth o f September, has bee n advertised for payment by Messrs. Baring Brothers. They have also published the particulars of bonds drawn and purchased under the operation of the sinking fund, amounting in ill to 50,2001.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 were taken for export and on speculation. The market closed steadily. Railway Shares were dull at lower prices. The employment obtained for the assets of the Bank of England had not increased, if we may judge by the weekly return to the 21st inst., when the discounts and loans, as represented by the kern "Other Securities," both exhibited a falling off, but the diminution of the Active Note circulation is not attributable to this, inas much as the public deposits are steadily accumulating and counterbalanr3 the reduction of private balances. The bullion was rather smaller in amount. The changes in the general account, as compared with last week, are as follow: Notes Issued Decrease Rest ... 35,425,130 ••• 194,985 ... 3,288,643 1,378 5,844,525 1,015,605 ... 12,945,084 ••• 858,449 ],336,037 5,529 ••• ... 14,139,338 ••• 49,843 ... 10,714,100 ••• 26,059 ... 12,665,015 Increase ... ~.

In the very interesting report for the year 1851 upon the state of the British Fisheries, the Commissioners, besides the usual statistics, offer some important sug gestions as to the necessity of endeavouring to obtain extended markets, They tell us that— "lt may bo'assumed that the consumption of cured herrings in the British Isles has reached its maximum. The transmission of fresh fish by means of railroad, the general fall in the prices of all kinds of food, and the re duction of duty upon the import of foreign articles of pro vision, have an undoubted tendency to lessen the con sumption of cured fish among our labouring popula tion; the coldness of the climate, the long hours of work, the severity of the physical labour to be endured, will always direct our population to the purchase of the most nourishing description of food that their means will procure them. Accordingly, it is found that neither in Great Britain, nor in Ireland, is the demand for cured herrings, taken over a period of years, at all what it used to be, and that the continent has become the only outlet for this staple of Scottish produce. It is impos sible, however, to see without profound regret, that the supplies which are wanted on the continent, which would naturally flow there, and which would then give an impetus to mutual commerce on the most profitable basis to the exchanging nations, are interrupted and suppressed by high prohibitory duties among the Con tinental States, artificially maintained to check trade, and calculated to foster national animosities and jealou sies. There are large communities on the continent where a barrel of herrings would be much preferred to any other food that could be presented to them within the reech of their circumstances. There are periods of tho year, such as Lent, when in many countries they would be largely consumed, not merely as a de licacy, but for ordinary subsistence, and it may almost be doubted whether, if the restrictions referred to were removed, tho coasts of Scotland would be able to supply the immense demand that would arise. It is certain that Scotch herrings would obtain a preference in every market whore they could be procured, from the excel lence of the cure, the full quantity given with the barrel, and the moderato price at which they can be supplied. It is well deserving the consideration of the British Go vernment, and of all who may have influence with foreign states, to promote a reduction of these oppressive duties. In the Boats Account the number of boats employed in the fisheries in 1851 was 10,914, being an increase over the number employed in 1850 of 434 boats. There was also an increase in the number of persons employed, of 1,967, the relative numbers being, in 1850 68,939 per sons, and in 1851 70,906 persona. The addition to the number of boats employed is one that may give rise to much satisfaction. Tho boats are everywhere now much larger than they were formerly—taking more material to construct, more ability to plan, and more time and capital to complete. There is, therefore, a very consi derable development of national employment in the re turn that shows the number of boats in use, absorbing much of the extra population in skilled labour of the moat valuable kind; and it must behighly gratifying to a maritime country to be assured of an extension of these, and to percei ve an augment i ng number of traine d cre ws, habitu a t e d to our nat i ona l coas t s , and conversant w i th the various tides, marks, and inlets." The Commissioners very properly refer also in their report to the importance of increasing the number of life boats off the coast The following has been received by the Committee of Mexican Bondholders: — " Foreign-office, August 24, 1852.
