The principal topic on which they dwell is the con version of the Five per Cents. The Constitutionnel gives its warm adhesion to this final measure. "We applaud," says the Constitutionnel, " LOUIS NAPO LEON and his Government for having secured a prompt, prudent, and honest solution to a question which has longed weighed heavily on public credit. The decree of Louis NAPOLEON on the conversion guarantees the new stock against any fresh reimbursement for the term of ten years. besides, puts an end to all fear of any income-tax, of which, however, the Govern ment never entertained any idea. Let it be remem bered that before the 2d of December the Five per Cents. were quoted at 91f. It is LOUIS NAPOLEON who, by the fairy coup d slat of the 2d of December, raised the rente above par. On Saturday, on the eve of the promulgation of the decree, the Five per Cents. only exceeded par by 3f. 50c. The reimbursement, if demanded, will only cause the stockholder a very trifling loss, and th ere i s every reason to beli eve th at the price of the new 4} per Cent. stock w ill soon go beyond par." Th e P a ys likewise supp or t s t h e mea sure. The Deb a t s o pp o ses it, as it did th e propos i t i on for a similar conversion under the reign of Louis PHILIPPE. The Assemblie Nationale does not ques tion the right of the Government, but doubts whether the moment for the exercise of it is well chosen. The Duchess of DALIJATIA, widow of Marshal SOUL; died at Soultberg on the 12th inst., aged 81. There was an immense crowd at the Bourse, anxious to see the effect produced by the conversion of the Five per Cents. The Five per Cents. opened at 1011., fell to 100 f. 80c., rose subsequently to 10If. 50 c ., an d c l ose d a t 10If . 25c. for the end of the month ; the Three per Cents. closed at 691. 90c.; and Fonr-and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 100 f. 25c., being a rise of 10f. 15c. since Friday last.

Bill has been with. drawn for the present session, and the appeal to the country must take place without; any extension of the franchise or improvement in the system of represen tation, we rejoice to find that there is a reasonable prospect of one, and by no means. the least important feature of the measure, being carried in a distinct an d separate form even by the present Parliament. The Right Hon. Gentleman the .Member for Devon port last night gave notice that hs) would on Wednes day next (to-morrow) move for leave to bring in a Bill for abolishing the property qualification for Members of Parliament. There is so general a concurrence among men of all crassos and parties on the propriety and expediency of removing every im pediment to the full and perfect; freedom of choice that should be accorded to every constituency, that we cannot suppose that any objection will be made or obstruction raised to the passing of this judicious proposition, a proposition which would have received the Legislative sanction last year, but for the ex pression by the then PREMIER of his entire approval of its principle, and a pledge that he would bring it forward as part of the Ministerial Bill which was then under consideration. It was only withdrawn in consequence of that pledge, and it is due to the Honourable Gentlemen by whom it was introduced, and to its numerous supporters, that it should be disposed of previous to 'the dissolution. The law on the subject has lixog been practically inoperative. It is a matter of - perfect notoriety that the required qualifications can, at any moment be manufactured to order, and that; for a stipulated price, varying from 50/. to 1001.,, the veriest pauper, even a person over whelmed with debt, would be rendered eligible to represent either a bo rough or county. Every law that can be so easily evaded must be worse than useless. It might possi bly exclude high-minded and conscientious men, who, though in the er,joyment of handsome incomes, de rived from the practice of professions or other indus trial occupatisens, and perfectly independent, were not in the poseersion of realized property of the nature required, and would not avail themselves of any sub• terfuge to defeat the provisions of a solemn Act of _Parlismeene, however impolitic and injudicious they might be. Such persons would clearly be most desirable representatives. They would 'ever probably be required to pay as large a tax on their i ncomes as if in the enjoyment of the best cir cumstanced r ea l estates. But the3t would derive no political Privilege from their l iability to that impost, and they eeLdd be , . constituene be to the electors, yi howevern returned to Parliament by any persona, whom it might b e ad laugh but ar, the puny obstacles, several Acts" without difficuilty expressive phrase, ed r i ve desirable tEeir services might On the other :hand, objectionable varetageous to exclude, 2' and to use the vulgar coee;hes and six through the regulations in eve r oter re spect the regulations uncl:elestionably be re a law vellich for the above reasons, f or should nothing " is pe de a si V e r d a e b r l e e, wants sanction, than in' violated with impu re other ttrigent pity.

If we look to the objects for which these restrictive laws were first enacted, or the effects thereby pro duced, we shall see equal reason to rejoice at their removal. At first, the qualifications should ne cessarily consist of real estate, and they were required for the purpose of P r omoting the Jacobite cause, and opposing the interest s of the house of meet with I Brunswick.

Does anyone wish to pass a thoroughly delightful and ex hilarating evening ? Let him attend the lecture spoken at the Egyptian-hall by Albert Smith, descriptive of his already celebrated ascent of Mont Blanc. Yesterday it was our good fortune to be present on the occasion of its first delivery, and very seldom have two hours and a half slipt away more pleasantly than those occupied by the account of the Alpine adventures of the novelist-traveller. Aided as the narrative was by the exquisite pictorial illustrations famished by the hand of William Beverley, even those who have scarcely stirred a hundred miles beyond the lines radiating from the central point of their fireside could follow in imagination with all conceivable facility the movements of the adventurer. His introductory description of the migratory movements of the world of London at the close of the season, when managers were announcing positively the last performances of opera or melodrama, and when "midnight monies" were being voted at the tail of the session iu the lower House of Parliament, gave ample promise of amusement—promise such as was to the full and very speedily realised. Away started the audience under the guidance of the lecturer in his capacity as guide, courier, or dragoman, yid the Sonth-Eastern Railway, OstendOlalines, the Rhine, Basle, Berne, and . Geneva, into the midst of the beautiful and romantic scenery of Switzerland : with all the chequered vicissitudes of the journey summoned up to their fancy or their recollection, the cries of the porters, the rattle of the train, the pitching of the steamboat, " creaking like a great shoe," the babel noise of the touters to the foreign hotels, and the blast of the horn blown by the conductsur. Hew the people laughed at the leaf culled by Albert Smith from the Hotel Police Liens des Voyageurs, the leaf filled up by the facetious contributor —and no wonder ! Every item was the signal for a roar— Surname, " Robinson ;" Christian-name, "Jack;" profession, " swell ;" age, " 213 ;" born at " Tirnbuctoo ;" from "Ken tucky" to " Bath I" After mentioning the departure of the steamer at the end of the Lake of Geneva, there were al- I usions to the associations of that lovely locality with Vol taire, with Byron, with De Steel, with Kemble, and with " the self-torturing sophist," Rousseau; not forgetting the fat historian, Gibb on , an d hi s flame, Agnes, and George Colman'sj mention of their very ludicrous flirtation. Arrived at Chillon, we were introduced, in its dungeon, to a group of cockney and other tourists, such as Albert Smith alone could, with equal humour, have delineated. There was Mrs. Seymour, poor old lady, everlastingly troubled with anxieties as to a black box missing from amongst her luggage at the very outset of her journey, and carrying desolation to its every pleasure as effectually as Susan Nipper ever did to the toast of Mother Pipchin. There was her enthusiastic niece, her painfully enthusiastic niece, Miss Effingham, who admired everything, liked Byron so much, loved poetry to smch an extent, and thought Tennyson's " Locksley Hall," or something else, " stunning." Her definitions of " mild" and " fast" can't soon, we conjecture, be forgotten. Mild, a young man un able to dance the valtz a deux temps, and fast losing your chaperon at a horticultural fate. There was Mr. Peabody Taylor, the gentleman from New York, who lamented the long' incarceration of Lord Byron in the castle of Chillon, until told that the poet had only sung of, and was not the memorable prisoner, when he immediately accepts the cor rection as just, alluding to Byron as one who had met with an untimely end by being tied to the back of a wild horse, from an equally insane comparison of the Lord of Newstead with the Asiatic Mazeppa. Then, again, there was Mr. Hart ley, of the Foreign-office, who described his particular views through the medium of a capital song bight, "The Young English Traveller." Journeying on to Martigny, in the Vallais, by means of the char-a-bane, for the construction of which most agonizing vehicle an extravagant recipe was fur nished by the lecturer, we were there intro duced to other travellers scarcely less amusing than their predecessors, though one, the enthusiast who traverses the continent collecting the noses of various statues, we recollect having been familiar with, already, thanks to Douglas Jerrold, in one of his sketches, known as " Men of Character." Miss Bunion, the well-remembered poetess, described by Makepeace Thackeray, was well enough in her way as a fanciful delineation, but Miss Bunion dwindles into insignificance by the side of Albert Smith's Miss Pottlee, described by him as "an elderly young lady," who shaves her forehead to bring out the intellect, and talks in a baritone voice of the verses contributed by her to the Crochet magazine, complaining bitterly of being stared at, in consequence, wher ever she moves through society, as though, within a single week she had penned, off-hand, " Pickwick," and" Eotli en. ,, and the " Scarlet Letter," and five or six volumes of Punch. Among other things, it must not be forgotten, how the Yankee Peabody Taylor calculates that the "Corsair" wasn't, equal to " Evangeline," and that Byron would have been "chewed up" in no time by Longfellow ; or his mode of securing to himself the attention of the most careless of London waiters by throwing a wine glass in the air, so that it smashes on the floor, when he is at once surrounded by half a dozen I The Legend of the Tower of Martigny, is a story to hear from the lips of Albert Smith—front the Baron of the olden times, who stamps his russet boots so frightfully that he becomes invisible in a cloud of brickdust, and who not only suspends his cash payments, but those who come in hopes of receiving them, down to the inundation of the valley by the bursting of a reservoir as disastrous as the re cent catastrophe at Holmefirth. Leaving Martigny, we were next conducted to the convent of the Great St. Bernard, being admitted even into the ghastly interior of the dead house provided for the remains of persons perishing by the avalanches. Anecdotes were here told, of course, of the win ter dangers of the pass, of the active humanity of the monks (canons of Saint Benedict), and of the " real" services of the dogs, not their imaginary sagacity. At the valley of Chamouni we were made acquainted with several of the roadside harpies and unmusical mountain melodies—the boys vending fossils, who, if you don't buy their specimens, pelt you with them I the old woman who jangles a tune to a terri ble nightmare of a broken-down harpsichord, ending all her ineffectual musical appeals to charity with a " face" and a howfl together with other equal delectable eccentricities. The rencontre with Mr. Pringle elicited shouts of laughter, eliminating as it did from his knapsack the articles affec • tionately crammed into it to the sum total of half a hundred weight, by:hie sisters—articles such as a stone bottle for hot water, and flasks of elder wine, and an interminable cabinet in the way of amateur studies of mineralogy. Thereupon the audience heard of the rush of all the tourists simultaneously on the Paris post when they reached the picturesque town of Chamouni—the first part of the lecture closing with a glorious song about Galignani's Messenger. After an interval of ten minutes' duration the entertainment (accurately so termed) was resumed with an account of tie original discovery of the valley of Chamouni, of the yearly influx of visitors since then,, and of the English absurdities in the Livre des Voy ageurs—one of the most preposterous entries in which was ludicrously said to have been copied out by a motley crowd of admirers, including the names of his Grace the Duke, of Thomas Babington Macaulay, of Louis Napoleon, and of Moses and Son. Subsequently to this Albert Smith entered into a detailed and enthralling narrative of the ascent of Mont Blanc, not failing to allude especially to the circum stance of its having during the last thirty years been one of his day-dreams, recently and happily realised. As we presume, however, that the vast majority of those interested in these adventurous pro ceedings have already devoured the lecturer's masterly paper description of the whole ascent published in the February number of Blaclacood;we shall merely observe that the oral was comparable to the written narrative in point of graphic vividness. The wonderful cascade spouting out from its fall like a gigantic feather, the chalet des Pelerins—illustrated by the delightful incident of kissing the prettiest girl in Switzerland — the Pierre Pointue, the Pierre a I'Eschelle, the approach to the Glacier des Bossons, the Glaciers of the Dead Chamois, and the Vulture of the Alps, the dangerous crevice in the Glacier des Tacenay, the Grande Mulets, rocks by sunset—being the scene of the night bivouac—the grand plateau by moonlight, the hazardous ascent of the Mur de la Cote, and the approach to the summit of Mont Blanc— were each and all wonderfully represented to the eye (both physical and mental) of the auditors, respectively by the novelist and the painter, the lecturer and the illustrator. The whole description terminated with the return of the party into the court-yard of Tiarraz'e Hotel de Londres, at Cha mouni : agreeably followed by a record of the scenes occa sionally witnessed in a Paris café and a Paris theatre. The manner in which all this is told, and sung, and mimicked, and played, and chattered (literally), and joked—it would be idle to attempt depicting. Those who have never heard Albert Smith as a lecturer should do so, if it were only to know the meaning of the most delightful of " fast men,"—one who is not a bore, but a boon companion. In his present lecture he performs a variety of eccentric movements, such as would have puzzled the imitative adroitness of the admirable Crichton—now blowing a blast on a horn ; now rattling his fingers over the piano, accompanying it at intervals with a pedal movement of bells; now grinding the dismalist or the drollest of airs on a hurdygnrdy ; now jangling the keys of a harpsichord ; now breathing a pensive melody on the fl geolet. Withal, his manner is so agreeable, hi s self-possession so complete and unaffected, h so genial and unforced, his sense of absurdity m r h d h is it u y ve c r u s y o r an keen and contagious, his bonhonie so apparent, voice, face, and manner so truly and perfectly conversation able, that it must be next to an impossibility not etnoebrneydoer lighted with him—unless one happens to b our e an (what is more probable) a curmudgeon. a a g cr in ai l n a t s a t n n c i e g — ht U t n o d t e h c e id s e c d re ll a l m r.

(From Eliza Cook's Journal,) A penny a day is a very small suaa,—only the price of an ordinary glass of beer or half the price of a go od glass of stout. You would scarce ly ex p ec t to get much for for a penny a day, —or that :or so trifling an araciun4 you can get anything worthy of consideration. But everything depends upon how the penny is spent. Spend it on a glass of beer, and what do you get? the pleasure is gone almost as soon as the beer is im bibed. You get next to nothing for your money. , Let us see. however, what a penny a day, thoughtfill'i expended, will do towards securing a man's independen ce ' and providing against poverty and want. But can it do anything worthy of notice in this way ? You shall see. We take up a prospectus and tables of a Provident Society, intended for the use of those classes who hav,, e a peony a d a y t o spend,—and these include nearly 02.: the working classes of this country. It is not necessftp; we should specify any particul a r society, because• the best all proceed upon the same data,—the results of e_/i , tensive observation s an d experience of health an d sick „ ness,—and their t a bl es o f rates, certified by Government actuaries, are very nearly the same. r and Well, then, looking at the tables of these L i e ) Sickness Assurance Societies, what can a penny 5 d a y u ? i ; 1.
