In August. 1851, the promot. ra of the Submarine Telegraph formed thetase'ves into a French Company (Socitee en Comman dite), and, at their own risk, and wit their own tunds, estatilished the telegraphic con.mun cation be , ween D ver and Calais. he cable was laid d.nvn on the 25th -4eptemb.,r, 1851, and on the 14th November following the telegraph was opetted to the public for the transmission of messages, - sii,ce which time it has worked ith, ut the slightest irregu artty or intvrruptcon. The feasibility of a :>tr .tt.arne i et. graohl3 commun;cation having neon thus uccesstully proved, the promoters consider that the time has now arrived to invite the public to c -operate with - them in deve in i g the rcsotuces, and extending the advantages of thie important undertaking. to ionjwing brief statement will show the actual position , and prospects of the Sub_ urine Telegraph: A loyal chart r of incorpo: atiou having been obtained for The es abiishment of the Strimarine Telegraph between Eng'and and France, it has been determined to surrenner the same in orcer that cue with n ore extended powers should be granted, so as to suit the ci,cumstanees of the Company, enabling them to establish a S ,b -marine I elegraphic Communicition with Be . giutn and the °Bur parts of the C‘ ntinent or Europe, in addit , on to France. The draft o this charter os now before the Board of Trade, ant It is believed that it will tie finally granted at the next Pr.vy Council. The capital or the French Company consists 01 75,000 shares of P. each. This sum has been expended in the purchase of patent rights ; in securing the exclusive concession for ten years granted by the French Government, to take date from Ist July, 1852; in previous experiments , aid in constl ucting, laying down, and perfecting the existing telegraph. It is proposed that this property shall be surrendered for shares of a corresponding value in the Company now forming under the aforesaid extended Royal Chat ter The pr mo ers have also obtained an exclusive concession from the Belgian Government, and are assured of important privileges from other f reign Governments The charter of Incornorati n will unite these different conces along and privileges, thus secttring to this Company the exclusive right of telegraphic communication between Great Britain aid the Contintnt- During the short time which has elapsed since the completion of the Submarine Telegraph the development of this mode of commu nication ,as been re , ard, d by the delay and expeose incidental to the transaussion of messaees over tile wires of ot• er Compan.es, the Sulam:Me Telegraph forming only one link between Dover and Calais, in the , ham of coot n, ntal conunun'catiol, and depending on other bodies at each end for the transmission of their niessages. Notwithstanding, however, the present very imperfect arrangements and unavoidably high cba , ges, the receipts have, from the first day of opening, stead ly progressed, and are now suffi lent, after de• ducting all ex enses, ti pay a dividend of upwards or five per cent. on the existing capital of 75,0001., while the experience of :he working has been such as to leave no doubt ; that the traffic will be at once immensely in...reased when the proposed arrangements are carried out by which London. Liverpool, and Manchester will be ;dacei in direct and instant aneous communi cation with Paris, Havre, Marseilles, Bnissep. , , Amsterdam , Hamburgh, Frankfort, Berlin, Vienna, 'I rieste, Tw in, Genoa, and all the principal towns of Europe. In order to provide for the large accession of business consequent on these.arrangements. and to secure the tele g ra p hic communi cation with the Continent aga nst any risk of interrupti it, it is proposed to la, down a second cable between France and Englano, and also one between Dover and Ostend, where it will be connected with the tele graphic system of Belgium, Holland, and Germany. Eeso nsible parties have undertaken to provide and lay down these new submarine lines of a suporior cons.ruaon, and with a suffi cient number of wires for carrying out any amount of traffic that can be anilcipat , d, for the sum of 70,0001., to include all patent rights, and all preliminary and ocher expenses lacidental to the Be gian and other concessions, which will become vested in this Company. The Charter will authorise the raising of a capital cf 300,0001 to be employed in completing a I effect system of submarine Te legraphic Commu .ication between this country and the Conti nent ; hu under the atrangeme is above referred to, not more than 7500/. of new capital, in addition to the 75 0 01. already ex pended, will be required to carry out the objects in immediate con templation. The European and American Electric Telegraph Company being formed under the powers of the Act of Parliament in connection with this Company, the arrangements for completing the extension of the Submarine Telegraph to London, Manchester, and Liverpool, will be immediately concluded, when the French Government have undertaken to provide independent wires for the exclusive rse of the Submarine Telegraph from Calais to the centre of Pars. In the course of a few months, therefore, the Exchanges of London, Liver pool, and Ma cheater, will be btougnt into instantaneous communi cation with that of Paris; an .I the same principle may be carried into eff, ct with all the other cities of commercial importance through out the Continent of Europe. An estimate of the vast extension of business which must follow such A devel patent of Telegraphic Communication, under a system of mo lerate charges, may be arrived at ° by a consideration of the marvellous results which attended the introduction of the Penny Postage. The day of experiment with the Subtharine Telegraph has passed, and all, theref re, which now remains is to afford every :acuity to the pu' lic to avail themselves of an invention which is evidently destined materially to affect the interests of the Commer cial and Political World.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC, REPORTED _DEATH - OF THE GRAND DUKE OF BADEN. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. No account, says Galigani, had been received by the German mail of yesterday of the death of the Grand Duke Of BADEN, mentioned' by the Public, but as the Moniteur announces that the intended ball at the Tuilerieslor this evening will not take place in conseqhence of the death of that Sovereign, there can be no doubt of the Government having received intel ligence of the event. The medical bulletin published at Carisruhe on-the 24th announced that the GRAND DURE had fallen into a state of stupor, and that no hope was entertained of his recovery. The Moniteur publishes two decrees of the P RINCE Paesir,Berr of the Republic;' one ordering that all officers, funetionaries, and -employes connected with the War Department shall take the oath prescribed by, Art. 14 of the Constitution, within one month from,the Ist of May next; and the other ordering that . the year 1851 shall reckon as a year of cam paign, with all, the advantages attending such period of active service in the field, for all troops engaged in putting down disturbances after the 2d December last. .The year 1851 is, therefore, to be counted with be 'refit of campaign to the soldiers of all ranks and arms who were in garrison in the different localities in which hOstilities broke out, or who had been called out to quell disturbances. Battalions or companies of no less than sixty-one regiments of all arms, with seven companies of the Etat Major, &c , are to enjoy the advantages of the decree for having put down the insurrection in the capital. A great number, of other, battalions and companies are, ape cia ais having quelled disturbances in several of the departments. Ji'ollowing this special boon to the army, there follow the customary couple of columns full of names of soldiers who have just been decorated with the legion of honour and new medals. The Dibats gives the names of the five members who, on - 11Iosiday last, voted against the Copper Coinage Bill. They are Messrs. ROU HIER DE L'ECLUSE, CHARMER, GOUIN, KCENIGSWARTER, and the Marquis DE MORTEMART.. The first four names ara. the those of men practically skilled in monetary questions. M.Bounira DE a'Eceuse, a Legitimetist by principle, made himself conspicuous in the Constituent As sembly by his speeches on banking and such ques. tions. M. CHARMER, formerly a writer for the Journal des Debats, is looked on as a gentleman of practical ability. Messrs. GOUIN and KCENIGS- VorARTER are bankers. The Marquis of Morertmezer, when a Member of the Constituent Assembly, took part in the works of the Committee on the labour question. Thus the opposition of these five gentle men did not arise from factious motives, hut re spect for their own judgment on an important finan cial question. The navy is to be represented at the military file of May 10. Deputations are to be sent • from all the branches of the naval service. The ports of Toulon, Rocbfort, Brest, L'Orient, and Cherbourg still have their representatives at Paris. The Patrie, in commenting on the manner in which French news is presented in foreign journals, is espe cially irate with a morning contemporary. It says— " The bad fai , h of some English journals, as far as re gards Prince Louis Napoleon, is well known. There are no insults which they hesitate to print, in order to charge public opinion in France towar ds him. We have a fresh proof of this in a note published by the Morning Chronicle on the subject of the visit recently made by the Prince to the Faubourg St. Antoine. Every one know that the President was received by cries, a thousand times repeated, of Vice Napoleon r—that no other cry was raised—and that nn immense crowd ga ve him a complete ovation. The Chronicle does not, however, hesitate to affirm that the cry was exclusively Vire la Republique,' and that the reception was far trom being enthusiastic. The hearty welcome given to Louis Napoleon in the Fau bourg St. Antoine, is a fact so notorious that we have considered it necessary to quote thisspecimen of the lying assertions put forth by the English journal against the elect of six millions of votes." The same journal says:—" We have reason to know that the Minister of General Police has signified to the pro prietors of foreign journals that they will b© compelled to contraodict in their columns the false news which they may publish, under pain of having the entrance of their journals into France immediately prohibited." In confirmation of this, we find in the lndependance of Brussels, a Paris letter, which says:—" Foreign journals continue to be subjected to serious surveillance by the Ministry of General Police. The Paris correspondeet of the Cologne Gazette was on Friday summoned before M. Latour Demoulin, Director General of the Press, and article of thatjourrial, calumniously insinuating that literal members of the Legislative body received sub ventions from the Epee, was produced. An order was given him to deny that invention immediately, under pain of having the journal instantly interdicted. This measure is to be general; it has been decided that every foreign paper which does not at once rectify the errors or suppositions it may contain, shall be stopped at the Post-office, and if this interdiction should not suffice, the correspondents are to be expelled." At the review on Sunday of the 21 division of the army of Paris, composed of 15,000 meet, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, under the command of General RENAULT, the PRINCE PRESIDENT, ongoing from and returning to the Elysee, was received with loud accla mations. A great crowd was collected - on every point whence a view could be obtained. The troops tiled off amidst loud cries of "Vive Napo!‘ et I" At the moment when the PRESIDENT was proceeding towards one of the entrances of the Court of the Tuileries his horse became restive, and it required all the superior horsemanship of the PRINCE to prevent his being thrown. A serious accident took place during the review. Captain Osmortu, aide-de-camp of General RENAULT, was thrown from his horse and broke his leg. lie was immediately taken 'to the military hospital of Gros. Caillou. The Emancipation of Brussles states in a Paris letter that the pay of the Marshals_of France is to be raised to 40,000 f. as under the Restoration. Under King Louis PHILIPPE it was 30,0001. - - - The commercial reports for the week agree in noticing signs of revived activity in most branches of business. The country does not appear to have suf fered so much as might have been feared from the want of rain. The wheat crops look well, the oats look a little languishing, and the barley has received some injury. The corn markets keap steady. The pieces of ten centimes coined in 1719 and 1768 l i contain 24 grammes of copper ; those coined in 1791 only 14 grammes; and those of the years V. and VII. 20 grammes ; consequently the average is about 19 grammes. The new pieces now about to be coined are to weigh only 10 grammes, and are to be com posed of 95 parts of copper, 4 of tin, and 1 of zinc. The cost of the coinage per se will be, it is calculated, 92c. the kilogramme. A pair of dies, one for each side, will suffice for about 40,000 coins. The whole amount of the new copper coinage is not to exceed the nominal value of the money called in. The decision of the Court of Paris on Friday last in opposition to the. demand of the Prefect of the Seine, in the ease of the Orleans property, had again an unfa vourable effect on the Bourse, and the prices of public st rarities declined considerably.

Under these circumstances, the agnates of the House of Bad en have held a conferencp, at which the Margrave WILLIAM took the presidency. I t was decided that on the demise of the GRAND DUKE the Hereditary Prince Louis shalhbe called to the throne, and that Prince FREDERICK 'shun ba charged with the Regency. The oath of allegiance is to be taken to both Princes. The Here ditary Prince was not present at this Council. lUp to the present moment he is ignorant of the [PRICE SD. alarming state of his august parent, for it is appro.,. hended that his own sufferings would be aggravated if he knew the exact truth. The Prince is subject to continual nervous attacks, which paralyse his intel lectual faculties, but he has lucid int6rvals. The GRAND DUKE is said to have made his will in 1848. The GRAND DUCHESS does not quit the sick bed of her husband a single moment. The pain in the knee joint continues extremely acute, and the strength of the royal patient is so completely exhausted that he is not expected to survive many days. The Duchess of NASSAU, on the 233, gave birth to an hereditary prince. The Prince Of LIPPE DETAIOED married, a few days ago, at Itodold4twir, the Princess ELIZABETH of Schwarzburg-Rucloldstadt.

Slll,—Yebtel day's races were, on the whole, of a very unintete,ting character, the principal feat being the victory of Rat binger over Rolando in the race for the 50 Sovs. Stakes. The winner never gave his opponent the shadow of a chance, and won very easily by two lengths. This race, according to the reckoning of the backers of the Goodwood stab!e, was considered a har binger of their taiccess in the Guineas with Ilomehrowed, who wv.s forthwith elevated to the premiership, at 5 to 2. The 50/. Plate was won in such a very ridiculous manner by Exeter, the stable companion of Maidstone, that the latter immediately received promotion in the Guineas' betting, from no price at all to 7 to 1, taken freely. • In the matches, Nabob gave away the great difference of weight between him and his beaten antagonist Hugo, without difficulty, a s he w on v ery easily. The other match, between Palma filly and Fent morz, was won by the former; as Robinson, on Lord Clifden's horse, almost immediately alter starting met with a severe accident, through the horse swerving and the stirrup leather giving way, by which his thigh and collar. bone wert, broken, and it is supposed that one or two of the ribs aro fractured. This mount of Robin son's, in all human probability, was his last, and closed as brilliant a career as jockey ever had. To-morrow's list is on paper the strongest of the week, but, as six aro skeleton stakes, it is difficult to tell how many will fill, as only one out of four attained that end yesterday. The fields for the others are as follow: 50 Soya. Stakes. D. M.—Lord Enfield's Poodle, Set 41b; Lord Exeter's Lens, Sgt 41b; Mr. Pa no's Glenluce, Bst 31b (d). 50 Sovs. Stakes, Greville's Frantic, Bst 31b Mr. Hughes's Fonthill, B s t 71b, an d p er h a p s one of Ge ne:ad Ansun'e. 50 Sovs. Stakes, D.M.—Duke of Richmond's Har binger, Lord Exeter's Stockwell, Mr. Barnes's Queen Guinever (0). The Brat of these sweepstakes I consider to be a certainty for Poormr, Gleauce being the only opponent that ho will have that pciisesses a chance. The sec3nd sweepstakes, I imagine, will be carried off by FRANTIC; end the third by HARBINGER. For the 1,000 Guineas, on the following day, it is not improbable, as Bay 'Rosalind is not quite the thing, being rather stout and doing very little ►cork, and Glen lace on the queer list, that the best of Mr. Magenia's will turn out to he the winner. Lady Harriet I have heard nothing about, or I should have fancied her. lam in clined to think that Caloric is the best of sr. Magenhi's couple. The betting last night and this morning has been brisker than on any previous occasion this Saar. The following are the latest prices:-300 Sovs. Stakes-2 to lon Barcelona. 2,000 Guineas-2 to 1 each opt Filius and Homebrewed, 4 to 1 agst Daniel O'Rourke, 6 to 1 agst Maidstone, 8 to 1 agst Vortex, 10 to 1 each agst Stockwell and Stapleton. 50 Sovs. Stakes, D.M.—Even on Poodle, 6to 4 agst Glenluce, 4to I apt Lens. 50 Sovs. Stakes, D.M.-2 to 1 on Harbinger, 3 to 1 agst Stockwell. 50 Soya.

An orditiary octavo, which now sells for 125., and of which 500 copies are printed, would not bs reduced • in cost' 2d. by abo lishing the stamp upon paper. No benefit wbatever would accrue to the nether, as Mr. Minim. Gibson sup posed. It would not p ut a couple of gotaeas -snore iu bus pocket. Td the booksellei erid newspaper proprietor the advantage would be trifling; the gaias of the paper maker only wouldlle .axteaded, and th at noa so much, perhaps, by increasing the quantity of piper required tor printing, as by enabling him to manufacture and export tart man greater extent. Asa considerable re venue, therefore, is derived from this item of the Excise, we consider that the Chancellor or. the Exchequer, though not altogether unfavourable to MreGibson's mo tion, was perfectly justified in refusing his fuller.aasent, until after the production of the Budget. rjt The third division of the, Right tioc.Member's mo tion (to the second we shall revert preaently) aimed at the abolition of the' stamp duty on newspapers. He showed that it had been the oriaical design of that act to discourage immoral and seditious publications ; and that in this it had signally failed. The entire weight of the restrictio n h a d fallen on the more respectable portion of-the daily and weekly journals. alnproportiott to the wish of the proprietors to render the press of this coun try a great moral and political organ were the subject to inconvenience and annoyance, which the libeller or the obscene satirist managed easily to evade. No one can feel more anxious than ourselves to ex press our gratitude to Mr. Milner Gibson, and to other a t to es : e e f l ua i e lna v de e sss i o t . from un men of character and influence, who, sensible of the im la: : e e l. e t * : s n a a c y r e y o b tu appear t c h d e e burdens, press , , b a p n: duakrextend in nc o i its our s . 0 partial, yet we fear not to assert that it is hardlyf6pTrohtsoosuibgblhee to overrate the influence of the daily press in a country like our own. It is, therafore, incumbent Government to adopt shall anch measures as secure for o every wise so important a body the grey:neat facilities in the exer cise of their inipurtant and responsible func,tions. We are furthermore convinced that that respectability is in crettsed.as its influence is widened by the increase and widening of the circulation. In proportion as a jour nal rises 'above a small cliqUe and wins it s way among a greater number of readers, it has a tendency to widen its sympathies, extend its views, and purify its aims and intentions. The history of the - daily and weekly press of this - country bears con tinual testimony to the truth of these assertions. It is manifested at the present moment in our cheap litera ture. And if the newspaper press of this country is im measurably superior in its moral tone, it its decorum, in its ability, to the Grub•etreet flying-sheets of a fernier century, that improvement is owing, not merely to the visible improvement of the people at large, in which the daily press has had no small share, but also to the vast increase of the circulation of cur journals, and to an in creasing desire ou the part of the conductors and pro prietors of these journals to render them mere worthy of the position they'occupy and the part which they have to perform. But it must not be forgotten that whilst a visible im provement may he observed in this cless of literature, very much of that improvement is duo to the great lead ing journals of the day. The example set by them, and the torte by which they are pervaded, are quite as it flu ential on the minor publications, as the information collected by them at veat expense, and the reports fur niehed with such cast and activity.- both of domestic and foreign events, are beneficial to the humbler classes of periodicals, which are mainly fed fly their streams. Their ietereit, therefore, is in a - great measure the in terest of the nation at large ; and therefore it would not be desirable that thei r i nterest should be diminished or their influence contracted. Yet that such would be the result of the abolition of the stamp - upon newspapers is unquestionable. That abolition would not benefit them in the least; the price of the newspapers would be reduced exacfly the amount of the duty; that is, from sd. to 4d. too small a reduc tion to affect the c i rcu l a tio n . B ut tile abolition of the stamp would be followed by a result positively injurious, the abolition of free transmission by post. This would be a serious disadvantage, as is very ably shown by Mr. M'Culloch:—" It has been proposed (he says) "to repeal the stamp - duty on newspapers, and to impose in its stead a charge of Id. on all newspapers seat by post. Its obvious tendency would be to confine the circulation of newspapers to the districts within which they are published, which is not at all to be de sired. Were the proposed plan adopted, the charge for postage being-added -to - the price of the metropolitan journals would make them decidedly dearer than the - local papers, and people in very many, or rather perhaps in the great majority of instances, would be disposed to prefer the cheaper, though inferior, journal published at their door, to the superior, but dearer, journal of the capital." The revenue, iudeed, would not suffer by the repeal. The difference would be made up by thnine creased postage; but as the same newspaper Wire quently sent by different posts, the reduction of the stamp duty would rather act as a tax upon the public, and-would have an undeniable tendency of limiting their free circulation. No such objection, however, can be urged against the other division of Mr. Milner Gibson's motion—the re peal; that is, of the duty on advertisements. The whole of that duty does not amount to more than 160,0001. per annum, and is really so insiguiticant that wo wonder any objection can be made to its abolition. Previously at 38 . 6d. In that to-theyear 1833 that duty was levied year it was reduced to is. 6d. on all advertisements, long or short, affecting a large or small amount of property. The servant advertising for a place, or the tutor, or the poor tradesman , er the loser of a note, is subjected to the same tax as the merchant, the nobleman, or the auc tioneer. This is an inequality falling with great injus tice on the poorer and more industrious classes. But this the tax weighs heavily on i tze no n t ew th s e p s o p til er y s, i w n t i d uty e al a i dvertisiog vans, omnibuses, and the thousand placards which disfigure our walls, ar e permitted to go free. It would, therefore, be but just that this tax should be abolished altogether. But if the Chancellor of the Exchequer considers the entire aboli tion of it too great a sacrifice, a reduction from le. 6d. to 6d. would be of no inconsiderable service to the public audio thedaily papers. Nor would th e revenue incur convinced that it would be increased co a de an y loss by the reduction. Ind ee d, we are thoroughlye of which no oth er re d uction, except that g of the penny postage, would turn' h a parallel. The diminution of the duty Would lower not merely to an equal amount the price of advertisements, but newspaper proprietors would be enabled to insert them at a less cost, beyond that proportion which is effected by the duty. Advertisers who now make u se of one vehicle for th e p urpose of publication erould extend their views to others, and the increase iu the number of advertisements would socea supply, and more than sup ply, arty defi c i ency caused by the reduction. Already the revenue from the dre need duty of 18.6 d. has risen to nearly the same amount as he!, that duty was as Gd.; and a further teductiun i 7. past experience well therefore , . warranted by by considerations of justice.
