Capital, £1,000,000, In Shares of 21. each, all, paid up and no further liability. The object of this Company is to grant loans and in sure emigrants , i '`„ Australia against the perils of the sea , an d all other accidents of t heoyage. ""nY persons and families desirous of emigrating are only pre exited from want of the requisite funds for the passage and outfit, and relations and friends who now hold back would be induced to assist emigrants with money or security if the y could be insured l igconst the dangers of the passage. se This Company proposes to grant loans for passage and outfit on the i emit, ' of two respectable persons resident in Great Britain, and to psure the lives as well as the outfit of the emigrant against loss d ing the voyage. Au stralia now pants for labourers, and thousands who are ready to % emigrt e cannot do so w ithoutmore assistance than the Governme nt Th is mi to render. Company will, to a great extent, remove that obstacle, as no ~, Tetilty be experienced in raising the necessary funds , b y wa y "I loan, when the above insurance has been effected, and the requisite sureties given. Subscribers to this Company will be entitled to send out emigrants tO the extent of their subscriptions. The Board of Direction for London will secure to the emigrants leaving England first-rate A 1 ships, and provide them with a re spectable home until the time of embarkation, and the directors at the Principal ports of Australia will be prepsred to receive the emi trantS landing, and obtain for them the best advice and emp lo y - Int, and also see to the repayment of the loans. The promoters of this Company are now in communication with the Mme Philanthropic advocates of emigration in London, and also with r e of the most eminent residents of Australia now in England. . 11 a few days the Board of Direction will be completed, and a full !,. ° 'Pect,, us ready to be issued, so that by the spring it is anticipated 0. 10 0 emigrants may be dispatched to Australia. 12 , Bucklersbury, 10th Feb 1852.

The long-expected Opening of Parliament has passed over °Ur beloved Queen has been again greeted with enthusiastic ernon etrations of loyalty and patriotism ; these events illustrate the union ' the people—are prognostics o' suture happiness and prosperity in the Empire. E. MOSES and SON are not influenced by party poll , but they are ardent in pursuit of the prosperity of the people, :I ca the comfort and happiness of the members of the nation ; to advance this they have cheerfully made the most magnifle at investment of ea Pltal, and engaged the mos t distin g uished artists to devise the f loat fashionable and elegant designs for the accommodation of her aaJerity's subjects ; these designs they have the pleasure of present- Pg daily at their Establishments Aldgate and Minories, New Oxford street and Hart-street. Never did the opening of Parliament call forth stronger manifesta tions or patriotic attachment to the Queen ; never did the thousands assembled to greet their Sovereign look more cheerful and happy. Press was the order of the day, and the efforts of E. MOSES and u'ON were made visible on the multitudes who welcomed the Queen as their rightful ruler. It affords E. MOSES and SON the most complete satisfaction when they see the multitude clothed respect ably and comfortable at a cheap rate : then they have that pertect remuneration for which they have many years laboured. The Session of 1852 is opened ; now commences the great bustle of business, and a magnificent display of British power and taste. For this E. MOSES and bON are prepared. The capabilities of their establishments are unlimited, possessing facilities for any amount of business or any command, however splendid and fashion able. he artists in their employ are continually devising from the m r. o r s e t celebrated models of of performing the duties their grace and elegance, and have the plea 'the distinguished and • of profession in compliance with Gentry of the City elsewhere. liberal commands of the Nobility, Clergy, and AU changes brought directly madeusef ing tradesmen should by.Z- MOSES and SON, in the way enterpris vaneement and comfort r object is to legislate daily for the ad trious exertions never e i e e . e, thl t 3 People, the session of their induS . sending out new and e,onafo rtableelf Establishments ore ceaselessly ton of the expenditure of the p eo e ? th ing, and their motto is, reduc than half the usual charge , the beaten' by Presenting at little more Caps, Hosiery of every kind , Furs, tiiu.alt eautifnl skins of animals ti es of Clothing, Hats and from the vast forests o f the world, 800 Outfitting to all quarte rs of the clone.tB and Shoes, and General E.

The West of Ireland Land Investment Company propose to pur chase some of the large and valuable estates in the West of Ireland, which are now in the market, and to improve and let on lease, or resell the same. In no part of the British Empire can land be obtained on such easy terms, and with suck present and prospective advantages. At no former period has so favourable an opportunity been pre sented for making eligible land investments in Ireland. It is a strange but unquestionable truth, that at the present mo ment several hundred thousand acres of good reclaimable land may be bought in Ireland at prices scarcely higher than emigrants are compelled to pay for cleared land in our colonial back settlements. Owing to the legal difficulties that existed until lately to prevent _ . the transfer of landed property in Ireland, and the exaggerated value generally placed upon it by its nominal owners, it was deemed hope less by English capitalists to seek permanent investments there, especially as the number of pauper tenants, in many instances, was so great as to make the Estates almost valueless, and to prevent all attempts at the introduction of an improved system of agri culture. The successful operation of the Encumbered Estates' Court, the remarkable decrease of the labouring classes of the Irish population exhibited by the late Census, anti the universal desire to emigrate that now exists amongst the peasantry, solve the chief difficulty in the problem of Ireland's physical and social regeneration, and re move the most formidable obstacle to English enterprise in that quarter; the only one where it has hitherto been conquered by the mere force of circumstances. The province of Connaught has been chosen because it offers un questionably a preeminently suitable field for the purposes of the Company, and still more because of the uniformly peaceful, loyal, and tractable character of its inhabitants. Practical Agriculturi-ts, Travellers, and Tourists of all Nations have concurred in bearingtestimony to tt.e unparalleled scope for remunerative investment, which the counties of Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Roscommon, taid Leitrim, present to parties possessing ade quate means and ability to reclaim and cultivate the soil, and deve lope the various industrial resources in which this highly favoured district abounds. The principal reason why a larger number of English and Scotch farmers have not been induced to take advantage of this splendid opening for the profitable employment of their skill and money, has been their reluctance to become isolated settlers in a country where their individual efforts could effect little in improving the cultivation of the soil, or in the diminution of the poor-rates ; whilst they en tertain considerable apprehension for the safety of their persons and property, without the co-operation and protection of men possessing like habits and sympathies, and engaged in the pursuit of similar objects. The Directors confidently hope that the project new laid before the public will effect the enlarged realization of the celebrated pro position of Sir Robert Peel for the improvement and colonization of Co , naught. The absence of Markets has hitherto done much to deter persons from becoming settlers, or engaging in any industrial enterprise in the west, this has been mainly attributable to the want of sufficient internal communication and means of intercourse with the metro polis ; the latter impediment to progress has already been removed in a great measure by the recent improvements in the navigation of the Shannon and the Western Lakes, and by the opening of a line of Railway from Galway to Dublin ; while the now probable realiza tion of the long-desired steam communication with America is another obvious source of a hitherto unknown prosperity. The most effectual mode of promoting a better system of Agricul ture is to bring it into immediate connexion with the manufacture of its own productions; the Company will therefore encourage the growth of each Commercial Plants, as may form the basis of exten sive and highly remunerative Manufactures. It was the original intention of its promoters, that the Company should itself undertake these manufactures, but upon more mature deliberation, it has been deemed prudent to limit its objects, and de vote its attention to the reclaiming, improvement, and reselling of land alone; at the same time that it is prepared to promote by all the means in its power the cultivation of root and text.le plants so peculiarly suited to the soil and climate of Western Ireland, as Sugar-beet, Flax, Chicory, &c., &c. It is needless to insist upon the great advantages of a Royal Charter, by which the liability of a shareholder is limited to the amount of his shares, but even were this out of the question, it would be difficult to obtain a better security fur the outlay of capital than improvable land at its pre-ent prices in Western Ireland. A clause In the Charter provides for the allocation of one-fourth of the subscribed capital as an " Improvement Fund," to be ex pended in effecting surface and arterial drainage, reclaiming, and generally improving and rendering marketable the estates of the Company. It is further provided, than on the sale of any of the lands of the Company, the produce is to be either divided rateably among the shareholders, or re-invested in further purchases. The Directors feel that it does not become them to speak of the amount of anxiety and deliberation which they have bestowed in framing a plan at once practicable in its details, and worthy o public confidence, but they think that it ought to be known as a fac calculated to encourage those who embark their capital in this un dertaking, that the present is the only scheme out of many which have been submitted to the hoard of Trade, whose professed objects and proposed operations have met the approbation of her Majesty s Government, as testified by the grant of a Royal Charter and the ap pointment of a Government Auditor. In a review of Mr. Dieby Seymour's recent work* on Western Ireland, the " Rankers' Magazine" (Jan. 1852), after stating that the Reviewer's intention was to treat the question " simply as a financial one," thus emphatically pronounces its opinion upon the present scheme, " We believe it has a claim on the attention of capitalists that wil ensure its success." Other authorities abound in expressions of a similar confidence, but the Directors feel that a simple statement of the views they entertrin, and the objects of the present undertaking, will not require the aid of authority, or any argument on their parts to ensure its favourable reception with a discerning public. They would, in conclusion, adopt the language of Mr. Seymour who thus sums up his argument in favour a Land Company. THE NEW NOVELS. Immediately, in 3 vols. post Bvo., HEARTS and ALTARS.

Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to the treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with advan tage by all those whose constitutions may have become debilitated through secret practices acquired in youth, or by the excesses of later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects of marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of anceas ngrnirry and regret.

Our market to-day was tolerably well supplied with wheat by the farmers, but a large portion a good deal out of condition, and such was very difficult to sell, while dry samples readily obtained last week's rates. In foreign wheat few or no transactions passed. A few small parcels of barley have arrived, and the market is less firm than last week. Oats in fair demand at our quotations. Beans go off as before.

[PRICE SD. THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE. The announcement made in our columns yesterday of the coLeplete failure of the step taken by the Employers' Association, in re-3pening their shops on Monday, re ceived further confirmation from the experience of yes terday, during which we are credibly informed that not a single additional skilled workman entered the vast establishment of Messrs. Maudsley and Field, Lambeth; and the only establishment, so far as we could collect, which received any accession to its numbers, was that of Messrs. Miller and Ravenhill, Glasshouse-fields, Stepney, where eight mechanics, two of whom were members of the Amalgamated Society, went in upon the employers' terms. It will be remembered that the same number of mechanics, including two society men, went in on Monday, so that this shop n ow holds four members of the Amalgamated Society, who are said to bo the only ones, out of the 1,800 belonging to the metropolis, who have acceded to the masters' terms. Oa the other hand, fresh instances have come to our knowledge in which foremen and ap prentices, who had hitherto remained at work, refused to sign the declaration required, and several of the for mer have intimated to their employers, that not only will they not sign the declaration themselves, but they will not remain to superintend the men who may sign it. We stated yesterday that a vast number of labourers who had been thrown out of employ by the strike had rushed to sign the declaration as soon as the shop doors were thrown open, but instances have occurred in which labourers who had remained at work since the 19th of January quitted work on Monday, ratb'r than do so. Amongst other instances, three men belonging to Grissell's, City-road, yesterday entered their names upon the labourers' relief-book on this account. In Manchester, we learn, the same results have at tended the re-opening of the shops as in London, and on -Monday Houtson'a shop, employing about 50 society, and 100 other hands, re-opened upon the terms of the Amalgamated Society. It is also stated, upon good au thority, that Messrs. Platt and Hibbert, of Oldham, have requested a deputation of the society, with the view of taking the same step, and also that the Union Foundry, of the same place, has started upon the terms of the society. The subscriptions received during yesterday and Mon day, at the central office of the Amalgamated Society, considerably exceeded the amount received on the cor responding days of previous weeks, amounting to nearly 1,300/. .This sum includes 50/. from the London west end cabinet-makers. n-ofilee, Jar. 13. " 14 Lord (Sir),—llepres.e ' o rt)r tatiCt i n g s have been made to her Majesty's Governrsent en tho part of several European Governments, through their representatives at this Court, on the subject of the proceedings of foreign refugees now residing in Englar;cl; and it has been urgently demanded that immediate and effective steps should be taken by her Illajest)'s Government to put a stop to those intrigues at ti conspiracies against the Governmeuts of various European Powers in which foreign refugees now in England kre asserted to be en gaged. By the existing law of Great Britain all foreigners have the unrestricted right of entrance and residence in this country; And, while they remain in it, are, equally with British subjects, under the protection of the law; nor can they be punished except for au off'nce against the law, and under the sentence of the ordinary tribu nals of justice, after a public trial, and on a conviction founded on evidence given in open court. No foreigners, as such, cart be sent out of this country by the executive Government, except persons removed by virtue of treaties with other States, confirmed by Act of Parlia ment, for the mutual surrender of criminal offenders. "British subjecte, however, or the subjects of any other State residing in this country, and therefore owing map, on the G overnment o f any on convi c ti on o f b e i ng con eoebrendeidencine t l o ev i y ts in l g aw w s a , state at amity with Great Britain, be punished by fine and imprisonment. Offenders in this respect are equally open to prosecution by individuals or by the Govern ment. " Measures in the form of Alien Acts have been at different times resorted to by the British Legislat ure , by which the power of expelling foreign ers , in cage of ne cessity, has been conferred on the executive Government; but such powers, even when asked for only for the main tenance of internal tranquillity, have been regarded by the neople of this country with jealousy. The Manchester men yesterday received their fourth week's strike pay, at the same rate as for the two pre vious weeks, viz , 15s. for society, and 10s. for non society men. We understand, however, that the society men, who are four times the number of the non -society men, each gave up a shilling so as to equalise the re spective receipts at 14s. per man. The London hands were paid 10s. and 15s. respectively on Monday. The London trades are rendering a very considerable amount of assistance to engineering operatives by pecu niary contributions. At a meeting of the committee of the rnasone' society, on Monday, a resolution was passed authorising a levy of 6J. per week per member during the continuance of the strike; and it is stated that this levy will throw into the funds of the Amalgamated So ciety not less than from 1501. to 2001. per week. At a meeting of the tobacco and cigar trades, held the same night, ii was also agreed that subscriptions should, for the same purpose, be at once entered upon. No fresh labourers, it is said, were token on at any of the shops yesterday, and the Central Commission despair of receiving support from the public, contern piste a dissolution, leaving the matter entirely in the hands of the local committees. The total amount of subscriptions received during the past fortnight it; 571. I is. Bd., out of which nearly 101. has been absorbed in printing and other expenses. They paid for the fort night Is 9 t, per man on Saturday last, and now hold in hand a balance of 21. 5,. 2id. towards the support of 600 men for the coming week. The following answer to an application for pecuniary relief was yesterday re ceived from the Earl of Carlisle•-- " Lord Carli s l e i s sorry that he cannot render any g as. sistarice to the unskilled labourers on the present differ. ence in the trade. " Mr. F. J. Ebling." STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—Although the American accounts have conduced to somewhat more of tameness in the Liverpool cotton market, we have to report a de cided firmness in yarns and goods of most descriptions, with indications of a steady general demand. The makers of domestics are indeed cumplaining of a degree of heaviness in their department, owing to the conti nued backwardness of the home buyers, and yet they are remarkably free from stock. The Bombay houses are still operating in the lighter 40-inch shirt inge, and, as the ma r k e t i s c l eare d, an d th e production is reduced to a comparatively narrow limit, they are not now to be had at the late depressed prices. The cheapness of madapollams is also causing a disappearance of stocks for shipment to the same quarter. Much of the business both in the shirt ings and madapollams is, however, of a speculative cha racter. Good 40-inch shirtings continue scarce from previous orders, and from present demand for export to China, and for the purpose of printing. Printing cloths of the lower kinds, as light as 31b., are attracting some attention. In yarns, it is found thatf4o's and 50's mule twist, the former especially, are hardening in price under the India demand. Warps in general aro very firm, at full rates; indeed 28's are not in be bought except by paying something more; bat 24's being more difficult of sale, have a bias in the buyer's favour. For 30's pin -cops there is an export demand, which gives the producer an advantage in makieg a bargain. The contracts that spinners are under for reeled water twist render it so difficult to execute any of the orders on hand for China and the European conti nent, that extreme prices are fully sustained. In reference to the continental demand, we would point at tention to Messrs. Brownlow, Pearson, and Co.'s table below, which shows an increaee. in the first five weeks of 1852 as compared with the same period in 1851, of 1,900 bales or 1,900,0001 b, chiefly to Germany. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—W O have had no improve ment in the flannel market to-day; everything continues quite inactive, and there is no disposition on the part of toe merchant to purchase. There is no change in the wool market; the dealers are wishful to sell, at former pricre. MACCLESFIELD, TIIESDAY.—We have still to report a sluggish market for silk manufactured goods; the aggregate transactions of the week have been to a moderate extent, but prices are very un3atistactory to producers. Thrown Silks—The market has been less active; atocks in general are light; the hands in the throwing mills are well employed. Raw Silk—The market continues tolerably active, tins:l:r the influence of speculative purchases, chiefly in Chinas. Prices are firm, with the exception of Italians, which area shade easier. •• 1 - ne general hospitality thus extended by our insti tutions to all who choose to come to England has from time to time been the means of affording a secure asylum to political refugees of all parties, many of them illus trious in rank and position. Among them may be mentioned kings and princes of the two branches of the Bourbon family and the Prime Ministers of France and Austria. " It is obvious that this hospitality could not be so freely given if it were not so widely extended. If a discretionary power of removing foreigners were vested in the Crown, appeals would be constantly made by the dominant party in foreign countries for the expulsion of their political opponents who might have taken refuge in Great Britain. Monarchical Governments might ob ject to Republican refugees, and Republican Governments might object to Royalist refugees; and it would be diffi cult to defend such hospitality, which would then be founded upon favour, and not upon equal laws. " It is the earnest wish of her Majesty's Government to promote as far as is in their power the peace, order, and prosperity of every country with which they are in friendly alliance; but 'they do not think that any ground exists which would justify them, on the present occasion, in applying to the Legislature for any extraor dinary or further powers in reverence to foreigners resi dents in England. and they have no reason to doubt that this opinion is shared both by the Parliament and the public of this country. " With reference to the intimation that exceptional measures of precaution may be taken tigainst British sub jects travelling abroad, her Majesty's Government can not complcia if, while insurrection is raging., or its flame is scarcely , e.-.tinguished, foreign Governments should take precautions against suspected English travellers. " her sfajesty's Government adhere to the principle laid down by Viscount Pa!mersion in his note of the 30th of SsTterrber,lB4B, to the United States' envoy at this Court, in relation to certain citizens of the United States, who had come direct thence to Ireland, then in a state of partial insurrectior. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—But few merchants have vi sited our piece hall to-day, and the general aspect of the worsted trade is very dull. Yarns exhibit no mer.t, either in demand or price. Wool remain s firm; and as the spinners are running cut of stock , rather more is chtnging hands. improve ment, TUESDAY.-011r market bas been flit to-day, scarcely any demand for goods in the Cloth Hall, and not much doing in the vva rehouses. The wool market continues about the same as last week. Lord ralnanston did not in that note ask for any chango its the American laws, and he expressly for bore to press the President of the United States with represeetztioes against the offenders, but merely said that those wno visited a country in a state of insuirectien must take their chance like persons whom curiosity might lead into a tield of battle; and that toe American Government must not take it amiss if citizsns of tho United States who visited Ireland at that time were involved in the exisequence of measures aimed at men of a different description. The measures, however, to which he alluded were taken with reference only to persons to whom, under the peculiar circum stances of tt,e moment, suspicion attached. But it would be in the highest degree unjust and unworthy of the enlightened character of any European Govern ment, and wholly unwarranted by the course pursued by the British Government on that occasion, to put vexa tious impediments in the way of unoffrnding English travellers, by way of retaliation for the acts of foreign refugees in England. " While, however, her Majesty's Government cannot consent, at the request of foreign Governments, to pro pose a change in the laws of England, they would not only regret, but would highly condemn, any attempts on the part of foreign refugees in England to excite insur rection against the Governments of their respective countries. Such conduct would be considered by her Majesty's Government as a flagrant breach of the hospi tality which those persons enjoy. The attention of her Majesty's Government will con tinue to be directed to the proceedings of suspected fo reign refugees in this country, and they will endeavour by every legal means to prevent them from abusing the hospitality, so liberally accorded to them by the British laws, to the prejudice of countries and Govern ments in amity and alliance with Great Britain. You will communicate a copy of this dispatch to the Secretary of State. "I am, &e., " GRANVILLE." MAN SHOT BY A WOMAN.

LORD BROUG.ILENL'iI NEW COUNTY C OURTS B ILL.- On Saturday Lord Brougham's new Bill on the County Courts was printed. There are 28 sections in the Bill. By this Bill, which wasp rinted by order of the House of Lords, the salaries of the judges may be increased to 1,500/. a year, and of the clerks to 7001. a year. Au appeal is to lie by either party to a trial dissatisfied with the determination of a county court judge in point of law in any case tried with or without a jury. The Lord Chancellor may appoint county court judges and commissioners and others of the Court of Bankruptcy, to be officers of the Court of Chancery. The Hundred Court of Ofilow is to be abolished. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Lucia di Lammermoor was performed last night, the part of Edgardo being personated by Mr. Sims Reeves. The frequency with which this popular vocalist, has un dertaken this character in the metropolis renders remark DON uearly superfluous. That the public admire him in this character is incontestable; and had there been a dif ference of opinion on the matter, last night's representa don must fairly have set it at rest. The house was full from the commencement—the pit overflowing, and the galleries crowded. The reception accorded to Mr. Sims Reeves was undeniable in its warmth and unanimity. The great points of his performance, which it is unnecessary as agreeable to describe, excited an enthusiasm without bounds; and not only was he called for at the end of each of the three acts, but also after one or two special pi eces. g f i o n r g th o e f fl U ue r n ' t li m ee u v s e ic s wasof Never in i p n e te e r u e l s ia t r by stge e but t ly r w ec e e l i l ve su s ite a d ddi t t o iob h ,. ils this celebrated afisn it tr could voice, w t e h i e l b s singing a op bd era im love 'urn s entimentalities with w hi c h , ne treats it.

EXTENSION OF THE WELLINGTON BAREACHS.--It having been deemed necessary to make more effective pro vision for the accommodation of the household troops, nume rous workmen have for a considerable period been actively engaged in making extensive additions to the Wellington Barracks, Birdcage-walk. One portion, which is intended for the non-commissioned officers, is just completed. It is situated at the west end, and forms a sort of wing to the main building; another portion _has within these few weeks bsee quarters commen ced at the east end, which is to be appropriated a for the officers , and considerable p r ogress has al ready been made by the workmen in the employ of Messrs. T. and W. Piper, the contractors. The foundations are being constructed with considerable strength, of Yorkshire landing stones, each about four feet square, and no less than six inches thick. All the basement floorings, and beneath the main walls, will be laid in Seyssel as ,halts, as already a dopted at the new corresponding wing. The walls will be very substantial, the external three bricks thick,and the in ternal two bricks, or eighteen inches in thickness. .Arrange several precious T da h y e s, R h er a s s erv at o te ir d t e h d e itmihneegnwttoshrioalere b m u a il ls d i i n n g g. to T p h ro is cur p e or a tio n a ro w st ii t i ff w ee n ti s v is e t, d u ra l in e a n g e com fo f and will externally and internally comport pleted, of 21 additional rooms, six in each of the four floors, c a o t rn ee p e or t t h w e i p th uk th e e of a w rch ei i : town, were tecture of the main building. yesterday, as on o h f e a t d h , a g t s f t e t o e a w e t n to inspect the progress of the works. ::::t v hi l t the_ , . engineer was under THE MANCHESTER filled eonsi d s e o ra fu b l l l e reser voirs which are construc t t h in e g above Manchester, by that the Tor-sine as much as possible in the upper c n or e •r l a t o r ra W ti ° o ° n d yet embankment of which is nottched completed, would burst, and he very prudently disp atched messengers down to the inhabitants below, warning them of the danger; but by off the embankment, the disaster keeping w dhead, and by employing reservoir at ..00 . a great number of to cut an extra channel for the overflow from the excavators Tor-side, d.

The Town Council of St. Andrews have resolved to present the Duke of Argyle, on his installation as Chan cellor of the University, with the freedom of the burgh, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Constitutionnel contains a long article by M. GRANIEE DE CASSAGNAC , in which, t a ki ng a rev i ew of the unfavourable results of preceding Parliamen tary experience in France, he arrives at the conclu sion that, in proportion as they were failures from the way in which they were constituted, the present experiment must have salutary consequences. M. GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC mixes up with his argu ments on this point some eulogy upon the Govern ment which approaches almost to adulation. The Pays writes in the same strain. It says, among other things,— • It is to public opinion that the Government of Louis Napoleon owes the immense influence which it exercises over the whole of France; public opinion has always been for the nephew of the Emperor, the mysterious Egeria that he has silently consulted, and it has inspired him with the wisdom which presides over great enter prises, and the self-reliance which secures the execut i on of them. It is that mild and sympathetic goddess that will always guide his steps in the path in which the people walk, in his progress towards the future." M. DE LAMARTINE has addressed a letter to the Journal de Saone-et-Loire, in which he expresses his intention to refuse any invitation to offer himself as a candidate for the Legislative body. • MM. MARC DEPRAISSE and GREPPO, ex-represen tatives of the people, who had been included in the list of persons ordered to be transported to Cayenne, have had a change effected in their destination. They are to be banished for life. The Marquis DR JAUCOURT, Minister of Marine under Lours XVIII, and formerly Peer of France, died at his seat, in the Seine-et-Marne, a few days ago, aged 94. - TheDowager Lady RANCLIFFE has died in Paris. The Legitimatists have resolved, it seems, not to stand candidates for seats in the Corps Legislatif; and it is saki that a letter has been received from tae Count DE CHAMBORD, approving of this resolution, on the ground that they could not take the prescribed oaths of fidelity to the PRESIDENT and to the Con stitution. A similar objection would stand in the way of Orleanists, and, indeed, of Republicans, so that there appears to be nothing calculated to prevent the representative body being as Bonapartist as needs be desired. It is also said that the four Cardinal Archbishops have declined to enter the Senate, prin cipally in consequence of the confiscation decrees. Marshal GERARD also refuses the profferred honour. With respect to the obnoxious decrees affecting the property of the ORLEANS family, the rumour of an inclination on the part of the PRESIDENT to submit them to the Senate is again revived, but with what degree of truth it is not easy to determine. The Society of Booksellers, Printers, and Sta tioners of Paris have addressed a letter of thanks and congratulation to M. DE BILLING for the zeal dis played by that gentleman in the matter of interna tional copyright, on occasion of the ratifintion and exchange of the recent treaty between France and England. The society glance at the difficulties which prevent for the present the adhesion of Bel gium and Holland to the principle which acknow ledges and the law which protects the rights of intel. lectual property—and express a hope that the cordial agreement of the Cabinets of London aDd Paris on this point will produce a disposition in those states to reconsider the grounds of their former refusal to treat o n any reasonable basis. There was a slight rise in the price of public securi ties. The Five per Cents. opened at 103 f 20c., fell to 103 f. 100., rose subsequently to 1031. 35c., and closed at 103 f. 10e. for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed at 64f. 85c.; Orleans Rail road Shares, 1,120 e.; Rouen. 657 f. 50c.; Havre, 265%; Great Northern, 568 f. 75c.; Vierzon, 507 f. 50c.; Basle, 210 f.; Bordeaux, 4351.; Paris and Strasburgh, 467 f. 50c.; Tours and Nantes, 295. ; Amiens to Boulogne, 293 f. 75c.; Paris and Lyons, 578 f. 15e.

SPAIN. The following telegraphic dispatch was received yesterday by the French Government :--" Madrid, Feb. Bth, 1 P.M. The QUEEN has entered on her con valescence." The Patric of yesterday formally contradicts the unfavourable accounts published of her DIAJESTY'S con dition in the Constitutionnel, as contained in a Madrid letter. It declares them to be completely destitute of foundation. The Paris correspondent of the Times thus expa tiates on the punishment of the garote " The garote vil is a death of infamy in Spain. The ceremony that accompanies the execution of a criminal in that way is original. But whether it be by the garote or the musket, the moment a man is doomed, either by court-martial or by an ordinary tribunal, he is regarded in some sort as having already almost expiated his crime, and, as it were, no longer belonging to the world. lie is treated with the utmost care— he is supplied with everything he wants during the last twelve hours he passes in capilla—and every request of his is religiously attended to. No matter what delicacy he requires for his last meal, if it can at all be had, it is supplied him—and he is treated with the utmost defer ence by those about him. In fact, he is regarded with a species of superstitious awe. On the morning of the execution, and at the hour appointed, he is taken from the chapel of his prison, where he has been attended in cessantly by the chaplain, aided, if he wished for it, by the parochial clergy, and the members of the religious confraternities, who employ the most endearing, thu most soothing expressions to reconcile him to his fate, and who seldom fail to produce an effect on the most hardened heart. When the last stroke of the bell is heard the prisoner is clothed in a bright yellow gown, something of the same fashion as a lawyer's, and his head is covered with a yellow cap, resembling in shape the French advocate's toque. A mule of low size is placed at the gate, on which he is raised by the members of the religious confraternity. The animal is without a saddle, and is led with a halter generally by a child under 12 years of age. The prisoner has a book or paper in his hand, in which are printed or written the prayers for the dying, and these he repeats in a loud tone of voice as he moves slowly along, accompanied by the clergy, who not fur one instant quit his side; and preceded and accompanied by the religious cantrater nitios—whom also the military escort precedes and fol lows. As be passes along the street of Toledo flam beaux are burning in the balconies, and men, women, and children are on their knees, praying for pardon and `a happy release from life,' to the guilty man who passes before them. A number of the members of the fraternities make a collection amongst the crowd for two objects first, for the widow and orphans the criminal, if he be married, may leave behind; and secondly, to distribute in alms, or in masses, for the repose of his soul. Amongst the crowd there is no in &cent mirth, no laughing, no picking of pockets; and, when the criminal ha, taken his seat on the platform, and the last turn of the tourniquet, and the last quiver of the bound limbs, tall that life has fled, the multitude un cover, and you may see many a lip move in hasty prayer for the departed. At the last moment, too, a groan is uttered by the multitude—but it is not one of disrespect —it is as it were the last adieu to the soul as it quits its earthly tenement. The dead body is left seated in the same position for an hour, and then removed. No death can bo quicker than by the garote. It is, in tact, in stantaneous ; and the force with which the instrument ac , s at once makes the neck as flat as the thinnest open palm." MADRID BOLSA, FED. s.—The Three per C ents. were done at 31 C ents. at time; the New Three per _ at lq; the Debt without interest, s i; and the Coe pods, at 9f. ITALY. In the sitting of the 6th of the Senate at Turin, the discussion on the budget for the War Department was continued. Marshal DELLA. ToRRE maintained his opinion that peace and stability were never more certain than now, and that the army s hould cons quently be reduced. His speech appeared, however, to produce but little impression. The debate was adjourned to the following day. In the Chamber of Deputies M. SINE° attacked the Ministerial Bill con cerning the law on the press at great length, and was answered by M. BONCOAIPAGNL who maintained that war had more than once been caused by intern. perate newspaper articles ag ainst foreign powers, and pointed to the war betwe en En g land and the Emperor NAPOLEON as an examp le in point. The dis cuss i on was again adjourned. By a decree of the 30th ult. the Grand Duke of TUSCANY has ordered a new levy of 1,400 men. GREECE.
