Captain PENNY may now enjoy the gratifying sense that he is appreciated. Unlike the majority of the world's more distinguished innovators, he has not been required to wait very long before his predictions have been fulfilled by his statements being verified—and this, moreover, in a manner the most complete and the most triumphant. Cordially do we offer hia - n our felicitations. He has tarried but a very little while ind , ed, and even now his assertions have been " made good," not through his own instrumentality, but through the impartial agency of those who have followed in his trail, and who have already testified in a remarkable manner to the accuracy of even the most apparently extravagant among his investigators. We wonder what the members of the Arctic Commit tee think now of all the tedious sittings held by them, some months ago, in that snug room of theirs at the Admiralty ! We wonder if they remember with anything like feelings of compunction the " snub binga" attempts(' to be administered to " Mr." PENNY, as they called him with such studious and systematic discourtesy through the course of those protract ad cross-examinations How is it now with Captain AUSTIN ? Has he entirely got over that conjectured depreciation of his rank by one who never had the broad arrow branded on his kit -box or his jacket during boyhood embroidered with the technical " curse" of a midshipman ? It will in fallibly be. borne in recollection by everyone who has watched with interest the researches made in the northern regions for the discovery of the whereabouts of Sir JOHN FRANKLIN and his gallant associates, that it was the conviction of Captain PENNY that the missing navigators had gone in a north-westerly direction through the straits leading out of Welling ton Channel, and that he was thence gone off into clear water, and was beyond their reach, unless some more adventura tta effort were made with a view to that still p oss ibl e — t i mely yield them—sly:'?csing assista- ce. taterely will this b e c h er i s h ed in remem b rance 07 .L'r; msjority of the intelligent, b u t we doubt not it cannot already be forgotten how that suggestion of the bold and enterprising whaler was received both prior to his leaving the Arctic seas and subsequently to his return from that only partially successful expedition. Captain PENNY, we repeat, stated the above ideas not simply as his opinion, but as his implicit belief and " conviction." So convinced wa he that his suppositions would prove on inquiry to ba correct, that he offered to proceed forthwith in the direction intimated, if supplied with a single steamer, and empowered to rot thereupon in obedience to the dictates of his own better judg ment. Instead of finding his views acceded to, as, to say the least of them, ingenious, instead of being placed in command of the necessary steam-vessel, in stead of obtaining any sy mpat h y whatsoever from one who was too professionally haughty to acknow ledge himself his colleague is the enterprise— Captain PENNY received a laconic inquiry in a note from Captain AUSTIN, asking hi m if he did not think that all that was at all practicable for the nonce had already been accomplished ? It was simply as if you were to sub mit a somewhat elaborate and certainly very startling prop ss lion to a fellow - labour er in a g re at undertaks hag, and thereupon, instead of even paying the y com pliment of " entertaining"our proposal for a bri e f interval, he were to turn round end ask—as though he had bees actually deaf to all you had been carefully submitting but just then to his consideration—" Don't you think we have done enough without stopping here any longer upon what is manifestly nothing better than a sleeveless errand, if it be not actually a displaytof Quixotic knight-errantry Captain PENNY was naturally disgusted at such glaringly cavalier treatment. He answered in a " pet." H e w rote hotly upon the instant, " Of course —let U 3 return home wards—farther, research would be extravagant." 1 II S N F.V4( claimed with the needy knife-grinder, " Story ! GOD bless ycu, I have none to tell." He hoped that the Government may in a short time mature measures (to which he is not admitted) which may rectify the class legislation—alluding to the monetary code that placed the nation, bound hand and foot, at the mercy of the moneyocracy. We hope so, too: A sound and judicious measure of currency re form would indeed be a boon of no ordinary magni tude, one which would induce the industrious and productive classes to regard with leniency many shortcomings and omissions. Major BERESFORD has: however, given no information that can be relied on on that all-important subject ; nor indeed on any other. He is totally silent as to the nature of the measures by which the DERBY Ministry are prepared to stand or fall. But there is no such reserve as to what they will not do—and we have it now on unquestionable authority, that there will be no attempt to fasuscitate " Protection," that the un seemly monster gill be suffered to remain in the tomb to which it has been long since consigned, amid the execrations of those who had so Ion? suffered under its baneful influence. Nay, more, we are informed that for a considerable time past there has been no intention of making any si:ch useless efforts. He avers—that " for one whole year before their as sumption of office, they did not es a party, nor did any individual acknowledged as a leader of that party, bring forward one single motion in which Protectionist measures were in the slightest degree involved." It might have been supposed that such a statement would have excited some expression of displeasure, but the soothing influences to which we have ad %-erted carried it through, as well as the rather con fus ad rigmarole respecting " the rabble" who were not Li possession of the elective franchise, and thereby unable to bestow their most sweet voices on the Right Ilon. and Gallant Gentleman. In public speeches it sometimes is well to note not only what is said, but what is left unsaid. Major BERESFORD, fraDk as he is (rather too much so, per haps, for his party's views), has not said one syllable about his friend, agent, and correspondent, JOHN FRAIL, the Salopian ba.7ber, who, by the way, was in full feather on the Grand S: and, and in the betting circle at Doncaster, on the St. Leger day. We do sincerely assure the Gallant Secretary at , War, that his expla nations about his share of the election doings at Derby would be much more valued by the public (electors and " rabble") than his revs llings concern ing the Derbyite policy, about which he seems to be in a blessed state of ignorance. What we want from him, and what we care for having, is not his opinion of what Lord DERBY Will do or leave un done, but some idea of his own dealings with FRAIL. We want to know how Major BERESFORD, a cousin of the Marquis of WATERFORD, a Member for North Essex, and Secretary at War, came to pick up not only an acquaintance with Joarr FRAIL, the barber, but such an intimate friendship that he corre sponds with him about sending a " good and safe man" to Derby election. " Tell me your com pany," says the old adage, "and I will tell you what you pre." Major BERESFORD keeps corn• pany with a Shrewsbury barber— corresponds with him—employs him as a private electioneering go-be tween ; and, as Major BERESFORD is a member of the Government, the public have a right to know how, and why, and for what reason, he frater nized with FRAIL, who, to judge by his ap pearance and his occupation (with manners to match), is about the last person one of her MA JESTY'S Privy Councillors should be intimate with. Not one word amid the many he uttered at Castle Hedingham about his Frail friend— not a word to explain the employing MORGAN as " a good and safe man" to go to Derby election; not a syllable as to the cause of his so going. That information is what we want from BERESFORD ; that is what BERESFORD can give, in his individual capacity ; that is what BERESFORD cruelly declines giving us. , Well! we can wait. The question will come before Parliament, by and bye. Those were not his words, to be sure, but they were exceedingly like them, for his answer was merely the bitter and ironicel expression of his very natural indignation. Well, the expedition came back, and there was an official inquiry, and Captain AUSTIN was very decided, and " Mr." PENNY was snubbed, and the Arctic Committee felt highly satis fied with its labours, and a portly blue-book appeared, containing the whole of the treasures collected to • gether by this investigation. What came of it? Why, from first to l as t, th e i ns i nua tion that Captain PENNY'S notion was altogether ridiculous. " Clear water" beyond Wellington Channel was preposte rous, according to the view of Captain AUSTIN; and the learned and gallant Committee at the Admiralty evidently thought, in their heart of hearts, M.! Another expedition was authorized by the Govern ment. It was prepared elaborately, and at last sent "out under the co mmand, this time, of Sir Envraup BELCHER. But, happily be • fore then, a non-official expedition had been dispatched to the northern seas by the dauntless and indefati gable Lady FaAremer. That expedition, it has been observed by the public, has now returned to Eng land, and the intelligence brought by the " Prince Albert" must gladden the hearts of all those who can feel one throb of sympathy for the brave unfortunate. Yes ! The reality is shown clearly enough already. The open water beyond Wellington Channel—or as it may be termed Queen's Channel—that open water about which Captain PENNY so long ago avoudied his " conviction" —turns out, after being pooh•poohecl by Captain AUSTIN and the Admiralty Committee, to 13 a thing veritably in "existence." Still further has the truth of this been verified. Sir EDWARD BEL CHES, accompanied by his gallant young colleague Lieutenant SHERARD OSBORNE, have actually pro ceeded, with the " Assistance" and the "Pioneer" steam tenders, up that clear water into the Queen's Channel. Possibly long before this time they have traversed that Channel from one extremity to the other, and penetrated northward, through Penny Strait—a name which will henceforward attest very signifi cantly to after navigators the eminent services of that brave and intelligent captain of the whaler who was despised for a while only, to be the more fully appreciated. How the vindication of Captain PENNY has come to light thus rapidly is not the least curious portion of this surprising narrative. It was effected by a single vessel, and that one of merely 90 tons burthen, with a proportionate complement of men, making but a small number altogether. Such was the little expedition dispatched by his heroic wife to the relief of Sir JOHN FRANKLIN, an expedition sent trustingly to those terrible regions of everlasting frost, where the boldest hearts have been filled with awe before the majesty of Nature in all her wildness. Like the bread thrown upon waters, however, the little barque has returned, after many days, scatheless, and: to a certain extent also, be it said most thankfully, successful ! Successful it is impos sible to deny that the expedition has been, so far as it has proved the existence of those clear waters up the Queen's Channel, which were deemed when first spoken of by Captain PENNY nothing less than simply chimerical. Through that channel Sir EDWARD BELCHER has already actually proceeded. There is an opening, therefore, as Cap tain PENNY felt convinced, in that direction; and if Sir EDWARD BELpIER has been enabled to avail himself of it now, why may not the same have cccured long since to Sir JoRN FRANKLIN and his missing expedition ? The mere question reawakens and revivifies the hope that the long lost explorers of the Arctic sees may yet be discovered and brought back to old England, to receive the reward of their gallantry and the recompense of their sufferings ! Yes ! Sir JoRN FRANKLIN may at length receive, however tardily, assistance from his fellow-country men, end that assistance, it muat be added, all will owe in a great measure to the intelligence of Captain PRNNY—a navigator the accuracy of whose impression has within such a surprisingly brief interval been to the fullest extent attested. It is related of COLUMBUS, that after his little group of vessels had been traversing the Atlantic for days and nights, during an interval that seemed to his mariners almost interminable—his own almost despairing anxiety was relieved by flights of land birds, by floating masses of seaweed, and ultimately by drifting branches, by branches of ripe berries, and even—like the sign of a human hand beckoning them on in their sublime enterprise—by a piece of wood scored over with grotesque carvings It is some what thus it seems with the last—almost despairing —expedition sent to the Arctic regions in search of the brave Sir JOHN FRANKLIN. It is rumoured that THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Government has received the following tele graphic dispatches : " Rochefort, Oct. 11, Six in the Evening. " Everywhere the populations had quitted their vil lages to see the Prince on his passage, which was a tri umphal march from Angolime to Rochefort, where the Prince arrived at halt-past five in tho midst of the loudest acclamations, and cries of Vive l'Empereur I' Vive Napoleon " " Ten at Night. " His Highness made his entrance into the depart ment of the Charente-Infirieure in magnificent weather, and was received from the limit of the department to Saintes with the greatest enthusiasm. His Highness arrived at Saintes at one o'clock, and found collected there the populations of the three arrondissements of Saintes, Jonzac, and St. Jean d'Angely. It is calculated that upwards of 50,000 persons had collected on his pas sage. lie was received with transports ofjoy, and, accord ing to the declaration of the Prince himself, his reception there was without contradiction the most brilliant and the most energetisally sympathetic that he has yet met with. Similar transports met him at Rochefort, where the day terminated by a brilliant Pte. His Highness, whose health continues excellent, appeared delighted with the unanimous acclamations given to him. The only cries heard throughout the whole extent of the de partment were, " Vive I'Empereur!" " Viva le Sauveur de Is France!" " Vive Napoleon IIL!" In two words, the Charente-Infiiieur, so completely devoted to the Prince, has rendered this part of his tour an absolute ovation. The proceedings of to-morrow promise to take place under similar auspices, and the crowds, which have come in from ten, fifteen, and even twenty leagues, are bivouacking all about, whilst waiting for the moment to be able to renew their acclamations at the review w hich is to be prssed by the Prince to-morrow at nine o'clock." Tbe Presse, after giving the speech of the PRINCE PRESIDENT at Bordeaux, says— " This speech is not important solely on account of i:s announcing as decided a change on which little doubt could have existed in the mind of any one, but it is'more particularly so from the positive and solemn assurances it gives of the maintenance of peace. These assurances and these declarations, which are so formal eud so cate gorical, and which every friend of France end of huma nity must eagerly notice, will certainly appear to the foreign powers of a nature to calm their apprehensions, England will doubtless now regret the hasty creation of her militia, and the Germanic Confederation will re nounce the idea of increasing its military force. Such, we are pleased to think, will be the results of the speech at Bordeaux," The Poyo has a highly eulogistic article on this important speech, concluding as follows : " Whatever we may be, Republicans, Legitimists, or Orleanists, have we not all sought a Government more noble than our preferences, more national than our con victions, a Government noble as the country, firm as the conscience, resolved to do well, iniexible in truth and in justice, having neither prejudice, nor rancour, nor antipathies, and placing itself energetically at the head of the nation to utilise all its strength and realise ail its hopes; of that Government we have now the programme before our eyes. The future will say if we are to have the reality of this in the Empire ready to be re-established. The hour, marked by the Rill of Fiance, will soon strike.

I in their progress through the clear water up the Queen's or 'Wellington Channel, towards Penny Streit, fragments of " whales, bears, and other animal substances" have floated by the ships of Sir EDWARD BELCHER and his companions—proving beyond the possibility of further dispute that there is nutritious food—food capable of sustaining human life—in that direction, and reminding us betimes' in a startling manner that there is likewise that additional proba bility that Sir Joni FRANKLIN has survived, with the majority of his followers. It is stated even that the portions of flesh thus discovered drifting south- wards betray evidences of having been partially de vouted ! Everything unites, in fact, in urging us onward to increased exertions, in the hope that relief may at last be afforded to those who have been, du ring such a frightfully protracted interval, denied the chance of all human assistance. Captain PENNY asserted long ago that this should be the direction taken by any one really anxious to afford timely aid to Sir Josar FRANKLIN. For asserting as much, Captain PENNY was laughed at as an " impertinent," or at least es a " visionary." Well—an inconsiderable period has elapsed, end Captain PENNY'S " conviction" is proved to have been in no particular an extravagance. On the contrary, the open channel is there, the clear water is there, and even—what Captain PENNY had not ventured to conjecture—fragments of partially eaten food floating in the clear water, as if to tell those who have proceeded so far, yet more plainly, that there it is, in that particular direction, that we must hasten onwards with all dispatch, if we wish indeed to convey assistance to the heroic sailors of England, who may otherwise be perishing, under the command of their dauntless leader, the veteran Sir JOHN FRANKLIN. Again, therefore, and yet again, it should be repeated, if only in furtherance of the principles of simple justice, that, supposing th e d e : sired benefit at last result from these national exer. tions, it will be mainly to Captain PENNY that the country will be indebted for at length—in the hour when most of all such an event seemed to be alto- gether hopeless—being enabled to penetrate to the frozen retreat of the FRANKLIN expedition. brated the marriage eulogised, in the course of a touching ad dress, the immense services rendered to society by the father of the bride in very difficult times.

On the Ist ult., it was only 344,113,474 reals. During last month, the negotiation of treasury bonds was made at 8 per cent. for private individuals, and at 6 per cent. for bankers. A Council of Ministers had been summoned for the evening of the Bth, at which the QUEEN would pre side, and when the convocation of the Cortes for the 19th November was expected to be decided on. Reports were again in circulation relative to Mi nisterial modifications. It was said that M. BEETRAN DE LYS would leave the Cabinet, and replace the Marquis DE VALDEGAMAS as Ambassador at Paris ; and that M. DE LA TORRE AYLLON would take the Foreign Department. The publication and circulation of the " Histoire de la Tie Politique et Privie de Louis Philippe," by ALEXANDER PUMAS, has been interdicted in Spain. The Madrid Gazette publishes instructions for persons willing to avail themselves of the conversion of the Foreign and Domestic Deferred Debt into 3 per cent. securities. They are, from and after the 15th inst., to send in their propositions under seal. During a period of four months, the Junta will meet on the last day of each month to examine the offers and apportion the amount; and if the total of the offers should exceed the amount to be converted, the distribution will be made proportionately. Foreign holders may present their offers to the Finance Com missioners in London and Paris, or to the Spanish Consul-General at Amsterdam, between the Bth and 20th of each month.

But fortunately a violent storm came on, and such a quantity of electricity was discharged, that the air seemed to become purified, and no new case has since occurred. S WITZERLAND.

ITALY. The Marquis E. D'AzEGLio, Piedmontese Envoy Extraordinary and 111inister Plenipotentiary to the Court of St. James's, left Turin on the 7th for his destination. A letter from Florenc e of the sth, in the Risorgi mento of Turin, states th a t some surpri se h as b een created in diplomatic circles by the circumstance that Count NEssELuopt did not wait upon the GRAND DUKE when be passed through Florence some days ago. In its sitting of the 6th of the Royal Court of Flo rence, the examination of GUERRAZZI was concluded. It chiefly related to the events of the 11th and 12th of April, 1849, when the counter-revolution broke out, and the administration of affairs passed into the hands of a Committee of Government. GuEnuAzzi gave an account of the bloody collision which broke out at Florence on the 11th between the Livorness Volun teers and the people. He s howed that the affray did not originate in any political feeling on either side; that he exposed himself unarmed to the fury of both parties, in order to put a st o p to the effusion of bl oo d, and that he succeeded in removing the Volunteers from Florence. On the following day he was taken to the fort of Belvedere under pretence of saving him from the fury of the populace, who were c r yi ng " Death to Guerrazai !" a n d the Government kept him there until the 24th of May, when he was placed at the disposal of the pgblic prosecutor. He con cluded with accusing the Committee of Government of double-dealing towards him. The reading of the documents for the defence then commenced, and was to be continued in the following sitting. The Grand Duke of TUSCANY visited Leghorn on the 2d, to inspect the works commenced there for the new port. The plan is by M. PoinEn, the French engineer. The cost is estimated at 16,000,000 f.

It is added that several persons were killed and wounded in the fray. . _ An official article in the Giornale di Reyna of the sth, states that all negotiations with railway com panies respecting the construction of the Rome, An cona, and Bologna lin e h av i ng f a il e d, in consequenceof th e excess i ve d eman d s on the i r part, his HOL INESS !v.'s directed that the whole line be surveyed at the expense of the Government, in order to ascertain the real cost es precisely as possible.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 15,000 bales, of which 7,000 American were taken for export and on speculation. The market closed firmly with an upward tendency. Tho sales comprised 12,000 American, 900 Pernam and Maranham, at 64d. to 74d.; 300 Bahia, at 7d.; 800 Egyptian, at 611. to Sid.; and 600 Surat, 4d. to sd. p er lb.—Rahway Shares were firmer. The six-weeks' average price of Wheat is 40s. 9d. per quarter, and the last week's sales officially returned amounted to 115,663 quarters. The public Colonial Wool sales will commence this evening. About 50,000 bales will be offered. At the public sales of Indigo yesterday afternoon 1,867 chests were withdrawn, 2,930 passed, 563 were bought in, aad 500 sold. Prices went more unevenly, and in some cases rather lower for the middle sorts. Kurpah and Madras was 4d. to Bd. above last sale's rates. The ' ,legraph in anticipation of the Overland Mail from Calcutta seems to promise good commercial news; but on several recent occasions there has been a little exaggeration in this respect, The assertion that trade at Calcutta on the Bth inst. was brisk is so unequivocal, and corresponds so nearly to what we might anticipate, that we incline to think that on this occasion the mer cantile news will be satisfactory. The very large amount of bullion that we have for some time past been exporting to the different presidencies, and the con tinuance of the exports, the screw -steamer Calcutta, which leaves to-d a y, h av i ng 100,000/. on board, ought to increase materially the buoyancy of the Eastern mar kets for our manufactures as well as the native pro ducts; but, on the other hand, it is desirable that the latter should not advance too rapidly, and got above the current rates here. The exchange at Calcutta was about 2s. ()id. per rupee. Various new railway projects are still coming for ward, mostly for foreign states. The Royal Swedish line, just announced, takes rather over 400,0001, upon which the State guarantees 5 per cent , and a railroad for Peru, also guaranteed and requiring about a similar capital, is likewise on the krpis. The draining of Italian lakes, the formation of new banks, and the construction of small cross-country railways here, bids fair to offer an ample choice to parties requir ing an investmen , The Bullion in the Bank of England is expected to show an increase on Friday. The English Funds have been flatter this morning, and with less general business doing. One broker made a good purchase, or we should apparently have had a further revAior. Consols have been 1001 for Transfer, and looi for Account. The New Three.and-a-Quart:>r per Cents. bring 1034 to and the Three per Cents. 99i to Bank Stock has been rathe r cheaper, viz,, 224, and East India Stock has been marked 274. Exchequer-bills of March are 765., and India Bonds 85s. to 88s. premium, being about the pre vious rates. The Foreign Musket has been heavier, with less active dealing. Spanish Three per Cent. Bonds are 50i to and the Deferred 251 to The Converted Passive bring 61. The quotations, therefore, are generally lower. Mexican Bonds keep up at 2.0 4 . to 25. Buenos Ayres Stock is worth 734. The Turkish Loan fluctuates between 7 ; 1 and 8 prem. Many think it has seen its highest point, while others are of a different opinion, and ex pect, especially if the Royal Firman be published, an early improvement. The Swedish Loan is dull. There have been numerous transactions in Dutch Bonds. The Two-and-a-Half per Cents, have been at 64i to 65, and the Four per Cents. at 96i to The settlement of the account in the English Rail ways has turned more in favor of the speculators for a rise, and a marked improvement has occurred within the last half-hour, so that the actual prices now aro above those given in the list subjoined. North-Western are called 1194 to 1201; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 85/ to i; Midland, 774 to 78i, and Great Western, 97 to this last wee k' s R a i lway receipts ascerta i ne d u p to day are in round figures as under:- 1852. 1851.

BILLETING THE MILITIA. --There is a provision ill the New Militia Act to the effect that the militia may be billeted in beerhouses in which soldiers may be billeted. The following is the opinion given by Lord Camp bell upon being requested to advise the Society of Public Notaries of Lond on, " Whether, under Act 5 and 6 William IV., see. 15, a notary public, duly admitted and practising, be authorised to receive the solemn declarations mentioned in the said section ?" Answer--." I think there is no doubt whatever that a notary is authorised to receive the solemn declarations referred to; the authority is expressly given, and there is nothing in the Act to restrict or qualify it." The Wave Queen steamer, which was stranded on Newhaven beach in the gale of Tuesday week, was got into harbour on Monday last with scarcely any perceptible da mage.— lrighton Guardian.
