CIRCULATION OF THE LONDON' MORNING PAPERS—THE MORNING ADVERTISER. THE recent Stamp Returns of the circulatio n of the MORNING NEWSPAPERS in 1850, give the following results: MORNING ADVERTISER • • .. • • 1,349,813 Daily News .. .. 1,152,000 Morning Herald .. .. 1,139,000 Morning Chronicle • • • • • • . 912,547 Morning Post .. .• • • • • 828,080 Omitting the " Times," it will be seen what a proud position the lIORNINO ADVERTISER oecuples compared with any of its morning eontemporaries. In the beginniug of 1851 the MORNING ADVERTISER was permanently enlarged to a double sheet, since which time it has met with a measure of success, both as regards the extant of its eirculation and the number of its advertisements, which has no parallel in the annals of English journalism. Were the Stamp Returns to be given down to the present time, the relative circulation of the MORNING ADVERTISER, to our four morning contemporaries, assuming that their circulation had undergone no diminution, would be as follows : MORNING ADVERTISER • • •• .. 2,075,000 Daily News • • • • • • • • •• • • 1,152,000 Morning Herald • • • • .• 1,139,000 Morning Chronicle • • • • 912,547 Morning Post.. • • • • • • • • 828,000 It only remains to be added that t hi s vast addition to the circula tion of the MORNING ADVERTISER, ebtained in less than twelve months, is the result of its progress in all parts of the country, and among all classes of society, and is to be regarded as the best tribute that could be paid to its thorough independence of all parties and Governments, and its earnest advocacy of the popular cause.

Sun Office, Dec. 1851. ( 1 3 Et - LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1852 Broadlands must before long release from retire ment the foremost statesman of England, the neces sities of the time not merely restoring him to the direction of the Foreign Department of the Govern ment, but reposing in his hands the responsibility of conducting the entire affairs of the Administration. These are no idle hopes or illusory anticipations. They are inevitable deductions fr DM the events that have already transpired. That the GREY-RUSSELL Cabinet in its present, or even in a. modified form, can survive much longer is an idea now universally scouted as preposterous. The people aro sick of it. They have by this time had enough and more than enough of the ruling Ministry. They have learnt again by a bitter and most tedious experient:e the truth of the saying, that the Whigs are always: best in Opposition. Thereupon they have arrived at that stage in their alternations of hope and despair when the accession even of the Tories to power would be almost prefer able to the perpetuation of the e:dsting Government, Happily such an alternative is r ay no means forced upon the nation under these circumstances. Instead of seeing themselve s driven into the arms of the old Conservatives, or of the obsolete sticklera for Protec tion, the people recognise the possibility, and not only the possibility, but the cer';ainty (with a little show of resolution on their own part) of witnessing the restoration to office of a libt,ral, an enlightened, an experienced, a patriotic, a courageous, and a chi valric administrator like Viecouiee p ALMERSTON, and this time not simply as Foreign S ecretary, but as Leader of a new Administration.. Inspired by these pros pects, we look with confidence t o th e community for that bold and explicit dechration of i ts w i shes which is alone required as the signal for this remark able change in her MAJESTY'S Gr,vernment. Imme diately the population h.s peonounced, beyond all further doubt, the nature of its desires and the tendency of its aspirations, Lord j Ol , RUSSELL must forthwith retire from his official resi dence in Downing-street, making way for a states man in every respect more suited to the age, and more qualified to deal in a valiant and magnanimous manner with the difficulties affecting the State, whe ther of an external or internal character. It is remarkable that every successive attempt made within the last fortnight by the PRIME MINISTER with a view to strengthen his tottering and worn-out Administration has revealed on his part a retrogres sive tendency more decided than even those most suspicious of his policy could have anticipated. His peremptory and abrupt dismissal of Lord PALMERS TON from the Foreign-office, it can never be for gotton, was hailed with undisguised expressions of delight at Vienna, according admirably, as it did with the secret and ulterior designs of the Cabie net of Prince SCRWARTZENBURG. While gratifying 1 the councils of the Red EMPEILOM, however, and while imparting profound sentiments of pleasure to his i mper i a l master, the AUTOCRAT, Lord JOHN R USSELL should have remembere d t h at he was in the mos t effectual manner, at the same time, estranging himself from his quondam admirers, insulting them, as he has unquestionably tione, by his rupture with their favourite statesman. Circumstances of another kind have corroborated the accuracy of our first assertions I in reference to the causes of this recent movement in the Administration. It has been demonstrated be yond all denial, for example, that one of the proximate reasons for the removal of Lord PALMERS TON from the Cabinet was the fact of his avowed sympathy for the Hungarians ; and that another was his clearly expressed approval of the memorable coup d'etat of the 23 of December. The existence of these particular opinions, in the judgment of the late Foreign Secretary, we ourselves all along main tained. We protested, from the first, that such were the real sentiments entertained upon these vitally important subjects by Lord PALMERSTON. We recognised the truth that such must inevitably prove the case on investigation, aware that the reality of our convictions upon this head could alone render consistent the whole of his bold and liberal policy of foreign government. Recent disclosures have verified the assertions then made in our columns, and have shown beyond the gainsaying of a very large section of the so-called Liberal party in England, that such were actually the views taken in regard to France and in regard to Austria, in regard to Louis KOSSUTH and in regard to LOUIS NAPOLEON, by the great English statesman who for so many years had been the presiding genius of the Foreign Department. Aware of these facts, the Liberals throughout England would do well to review their past opinions upon subjects intimately connected with the cause of liberalism in Great Britain, and with the interests of civilization throughout Europe—subjects upon which they have unhappily, within the last few weeks, allowed their minds to be darkened by the evil influences of impassioned abuse and ill-considered misrepresentation. Let those who have thus been carried away in this miserable torrent of anti-Bona partist vituperations—pause, and consider well the fact, that LOUIS NAPOLEON'S conduct has met with the approval of a liberal and truly patriotic statesman like Viscount PALMERSTON. Let them consider, moreover, whether it would not be for the ad vantage of society throughout Christendom, to wit ness a cordial alliance, upon the principles of real liberty, of our own with the Republican Govern ments of France and of the United States — an alliance that would disarm the German despots of their power in obeying their lord paramount, the Russian AUTOCRAT—an alliance that would bind Louis NAPOLEON, effectually bind him, to a perseverance in the glorious cause he has inaugurated by the re-establishment of universal suffrage and the restoration of vote by ballot—an alliance that would associate the greatest military na tion on the continent with the great Anglo-Saxon race scattered throughout the old world and the new, established more particularly in England and in America—an alliance, moreover, such as is alone practicable on the restoration to office of the late Foreign Secretary, in the construction of a new Liberal Cabinet presided over by Viscount PAL MERSTON. Although several days have elapsed since the an nouncement of the destruction of theiill-fated Amazon, and the melancholy loss of life on that fearful oc currence, the public excitement has not in any degree abated. The utmost anxiety is felt for further intelligence on the subject. Hope is still entertained, almost against hope, that intelligence may yet be received of the safety of others of the pas sengers and crew. The almost miraculous preserva tion of the :25 persons whose names we were enabled to publish yesterday was wholly unexpected, and as some of the boats are yet unaccounted for, it is at least possible that others may have been rescued from the imminent peril in which they were involved, although no account has reached, or for some time may reach, our shores thereof. Many vessels were probably within sight of the awful con flagration, all of which would necessarily be attracted to the spot. Not only the boats that may have; got clear, but even fragments of the wreck, each supporting some of the unfortunate sufferers, may have been picked up by ships bound to distant ports. It was but recently that the entire crew of a brig that had been run down in the North Sea were restored to their friends, who had for many months mourned them as dead. We may yet . have similar tidings with regard to some of those who had embarked on board the Amazon. That such may be the case will be fervently desired by every one possessed of the ordinary feelings of hu manity. We cannot, however, conceal from ourselves that such a contingency is so exceedingly remote, that scarcely any reasonable expectation can be en tertained by the sorrowing relatives. Next to the interest felt respecting the fate of those yet unaccounted for, an intense desire is felt to have the cause of the heartrending accident clearly and distinctly ascertained, not merely from idle curiosity, but that adequate means may be adopted to prevent the possibility of similar catastrophes for the future. We should endeavour to profit by our dearly-bought experience, that the painful lesson should not be altogether thrown away. Nothing certain is as yet known on this point. A variety of rumours have been put forward, but they are at leas t mere guesses, on which no reliance can be placed. The investigation held on Thursday by the Court of Directors threw but little light on the interesting subject. The perfect efficiency of the ship herself and of her machinery, was clearly established. The high state of discipline of the entire ship's corn pany from the highest to the lowest on board—the crew, in fact, consisting of picked and carefully s elected men—was so well known, that it scarcely required the evidence that was obtained to show that it could not be ascribed to any misconduct on their part. Everything that was elicited tended to exonerate every individual on hoard from any degree of blame ; but the actual cause of the outbreak is still unknown. Some additional information may, however be obtained from those who were saved by the Gertruida. We rejoice to find the name of Mr.. JACOB ALLEN, foreman of Messrs. SEAWARD and C APEL, the makers of the engines, among the number. As Mr. ALLEN is an exceed ingly intelligen..'t person, as may be easily con ceived from the responsible situation which he held, and as he was specially deputed to watch the working of the machinery during the voyage, we may look forward to receiv ing a sound and trustworthy opinion, which, although it may not be cc nclusive, may yet act as a quietus to many of the absurd rumours that have been put forward. There are some matters, however, which are already placed in the clearest point of view. We have already alr:uded to the state in which the boats were stowed awe y, so as to be scarcely available dur ing the emergency. We have it on unimpeachable authority—front Mr. RODERT NEILSON, one of the rescued passengrls—that " there was ample boat ac• commodation, ea id of first-rate quality, to have saved all hands." He a ays—" There were two of WHITE'S life -boats on the platforms behind the paddle-boxes, capable of hots ling thirty-five men each, but they were so 'stowed away as to render it diffi cult for any ship's company to have lowered them under ten minutes each, even in broad day- light ; two othe r life-boats, in one of which we were saved, which would carry safely twenty-fire men each; a ID Eit boat, pinnace, and cutter, twenty men each; a gi,g, fifteen men ; and the dingy. Seven of these at least, an d perhaps the gig, if well managed, would have livesc I through that night if proper crews had been appropriated to each, so as to lower and take c h arT . of them ; yet of all these, as far as I ca n j u dge onl o ne survived the wreck." In this op i n i on M r. Is.TEILSON was happily mistaken:; y , two boats we;:e• picked up by the Dutch galliot. There is nothi , 3l;, however, to contradict his assertion " that the t wo b as t lif e- b oa t s m ight have been suffi ciently secured., and more ava ilable when wanted." We I trust that the f i t t en ti on o f t h e B o ard of Trade may be directed to this. subject. If vessels are bound by Act of Parliament to carry a certain number of boats, it should surely also be provided that those boats could a intervening. should be resorted toy by crew or passengers , without fataL del Aot ay n so h r er diffi tie p );tint that adequate me s for extinguishing any casual fir e; should be re m fitly at hand ata attended to is, that; moment's notice. No " penny wise and pound foolish" economy should be suffered to in to rpose where the lives of so many a our fellow-c re atures may be. involved in the re suit. We ari 3 told that a plan was submitt ed to the diree tors which would unquestionat ly have saved ti le vessel, cargo, passengers, a ad crew, but at as it would cost somethi og approaching 'lO 2001., the directors declin incurring such an expense, as " steam-vessels were very seldom burnt." We have also seen the almost magical effects of PHILLIPS' patent fire annihilator, and yet we do not find that anything of the kind was prepared to meet the contingency whenever it might arise. Surely, the proprietors of steam-packets, and, indeed, of all other vessels taking pas sengers, should be compelled to adopt every possible precaution against such terrible calamities. But there is another cause to which, more than any other, the calamity may be ascribed, viz., the absurd regulation of the Government, forbidding the use of iron vessels to the various mail contract companies, and thus imposing not only an immense additional expense, but much greater danger of loss. The Select Committee of the House of Commons reported most strongly last session on the decided advantage of iron over wood in the construction of vessels fitted for the packet service, more especially to those to which the screw propeller their o ld course , " s ee i ng no irdseoagsagopenpd obstinacy applied a ; t alter t t their s i t r ilni opinion," "My L o rd s " p e r s ist with pinion," although its folly and absurdity has been exposed b y many em i nen t prac tical and scientific men. We trust that the Legislature will see to this matter early in the ensu ing session. All must not be sacrificed to the crotchets of her MAJESTY'S Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral in England. LATEST FROM PARIS. (BY SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.) PARIS, SATURDAY MORNING, 9 A.M. MM. Victor Hugo, Charras, Bac, De Flotte, and sixty-two ex-representatives of the Mountain, are banished from France, Algeria, and the colonies. forDuvergier reasons of p u bli c sec urity.— Times. de Hauranne, Generals Lamori ciere, Changarnier, B e d eau, Thi ers , Girardin, and are temporarily removed from France t a a n . d A el i v A M e l oetrbiears LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Generals CIIANGARNIER LAMORICIERE, BEDEAU, and their companions in captivity at Ham, have been conducted to the frontier and set at liberty, with in junctions not to return to France. The PRESIDENT intends to review the whole of the garrison of Paris on the 22d. The Conslitutionnel says :—" We think we may take upon ourselves to announce that the Constitu tion will be promulgated between the 15 th and 20 th instant. It would h ave b een done sooner, but that the Government wished at the same time to publish such of the organic laws as are of the most im portance." The Petrie publishes the following extraordinary threat : " The race of lunatics and ungrateful persons, which will never fail in France, return to their factious habits. The ground of the press and the tribune, which is wanting to their opposition, they supply by that of the salons, and turning against the hand which has saved them, and whi c h they have blessed, they go so far as to deny th e d ang er which has been averted, to have the right of contesting the benefit. The old parties are not only oblivious, and incorrigible, but they risk, in their rashness, to weary the moderation of the Executive power, and to constrain _it to secure the success of its work of organization of modern society and French democracy, by measures of vigour and exception, which are as yet far from its thoughts." A military commission has been established in the Jura, to investigate the charges against the persons concerned in the recent insurrection in that depart ment. Twelve inhabitants of Arbois have just been arrested. Extensive arrests have also been made in other departments. We read in a Faris letter in the Independence of Brussels Th e P R ESIDENT of the Republic denies to all those admitted to his confidence, that there is any truth in the rumours of war generally spread, and which to a cer tain extent derived credit faom a phrase of General SAINT ARNAUD, relative to a possible change in the frontiers in the circular on the modifications in military divisions. It is not in ex tending the frontiers that the PRESIDENT places his ambition ; but, if I am correctly informed, it is in the relief of the suffering classes, in establishments of public utility, in the organization of mortgage credits, and in the extinction of usury, &.c."—Another letter from Paris asserts, that all the fraternal associa tions of workmen are to be dissolved, as many of them have, in violation of their statutes, occupied them selves with politics. The same letter states that the National Guards are also to be dissolved. A Brussels journal states that M. TRIERS has rented the furnished hou se of M. GALL AIT , in that city. there T was heG an z li g hth ous e on some lof t y part of the capital, in place a ett i e de d a e of Fra nce establishing Some time back —a. an immense electric i of the gas-lights.

This fee; may ,made by be painful to zngland but it is not the less the truth. A note of the 8111110 tenor was addressed to the English Cabinet by the respective Courts of Austria, Prussia, and lastly even by Prance. It was to the following effect:— " ' It is useless t o call attention to the dangers w hich the conspiracies of the r e f uge es are preparing for the Continent. It is 1 , a' , ' , o useless again to ask the En g lish Government no longer to protect such p roceedin g s. Therefore we confine our s elves to announcing to the Minister for F ore i gn Affairs that wo have come to the firm resoluti on to proceed aga i ns t all English sub- jects in our st a t es according t o the principles that Lord Palmerstoh l aid down in 1848 to the American Government, on the occasion of the arrest of two Ame ricans in Ireland. Lord Palmerston at that time not only justified their arrest, but he relied on the maxim that every Government was master in its own dominions., and was at liberty to send away any person who was dangerous te the public peace.' On the receipt of this note the Minister found it im possible to answer it; he contented himself with cora muncating it to the Cabinet; but it appears that rather than be dismissed h e preferre d t o resign. The new Fo reign Minister has not et replied, but t he same p rin. ciples will bo insi s t e d on w ith him as with his prede cessor." The Hamburgh B orsen h a ll e has the following from Vienna, dated the 6th : y " The British Ambassador has assured our Govern ment that the question of the political refugees shall he settled with as little delay as possible." BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, JAN. B.—The fresh arrival of political refugees from France is of daily occurrence in our capital. The concentration of all these adversaries to Louis NAPOLEON, appears to have given umbrage to the French Government. A note has been addressed to our Cabinet, and an answer returned, which, however, is not calculated to satisfy the demands or France. In fact, the meeting of so great a number of malcontents, many of whom have acted a conspicuous part, at the distance of a few leagues from the French frontier, is by no means calculated to inspire Louis NAPOLEON with confidence. France has consequently demanded either the extradition of these refugees, or at least their dispersion and location in the interior of the kingdom. The French Government will not insist upon their removal from Belgium provided the Ministry will assign to the most influential and the most dangerous a place of residence, with a prohibition to quit it without authority, and provided also they will pre sent a project of law which shall restrain the un• bounded liberty of the Belszian press. In case of a formal refusal the French Government will compel Belgium to pay the expenses of the campaign at Antwerp. JANUARY 10, 1852, ITALY. The Official Gazette of the Duchy of Savoy of the 7th declares that the rumour mentioned by another Savoyard paper, of attempts at pillage and incen diarism having occurred in certain provinces of Savoy, especially in the Tarentaise, an; without foundation. _ _ In its sitting of the sth the Chamte.: of De puties at Turin concluded the debate on the budget of the War Department, and voted the amount, now reduced to 30,910,048 r. It then proceeded to take the treaty of commerce with Aus tria into consideration. M. SIMONETTA attacked the treaty upon political grounds, alleging that the suppression of the contraband trade stipu lated therein would lead to a system of espionnage in the interest of Austria, and contrary to the spirit cf free institutions. M. SELLA followed on the same hide, asserting that Piedmontese produce was not suf ficiently protected by the treaty. The discussion was adjourned to the following sitting. A letter from Rome of the 25th ult. in the Messaggere of Modena, mentions a rumour that his HOLINESS intends conferring the Cardinal's hat upon two prelates of the Church of France, in the next consistory. One of these prelates, it is confidently asserted, will be the Archbishop of BORDEAUX. Father PLANCHET, a Jesuit, who has passed the greater part of his life in Syria, among the Druses and Maronites of Mount Lebanon, has just been named Apostolical Delegate of Mesopotamia. He is specially instructed to confer with D.I. LAVAL LETTE, the French Minister, at Constantinople, in order to devise the best plan for the protection and defence of the Christians of the East. The same correspondent adds, that the sit tings of the Council of State are soon to recommence ; one of the measures to be dis cussed being the relief of religious establishments by freeing them from taxation. The new regulations concerning the library of the Vatican are now en forced. The librarians are bound henceforth by these regulations to work at the catalogues and inventories, on pain of losing a month's salary for every second act of neglect. The booths and shops which now disfigure the Pantheon of the Agrippa are, it is said, to be removed. LLOYD'S S PPIN G.—t THIS DA Y.)

Notwithstanding the serious damage done to the works on the Ist of October last, when upwards of 360 feet of the staging was swept away by a tornado which crossed the bay with such violence as is rarely known in these latitudes, the spirited contractor, d. T. Leather, Esq., with his energetic agent, Mr. E. P. Smith, under the active superintendence of air.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. _ _ _ The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at from 5,000 to 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for export and on speculation. The market was quiet at previous rates.—Railway Shares were flat. Upon the state oi the Silk trade Mr. Henry W. Eaton advises as follows: " The extent of the operations in December has been unprecedented. Those in Italian silk were at first gene rally suppostA to be for foreign account, our manufac turers evincing little or no disposition to purchase beyond their immediate wants; but (although some few parcels have been shipped), if any one may judge from the quantity 'warehoused as stock, after weighing, instead or, as usuul, going into consumption, it would appear that a large proportion of them was merely on specula tion, with a view to resale, either here or elsewhere. I am sorry to say there is nothing in the home trade to justify such a speculation, which can only tend to the injury of our own manufacturers, and compel them, as before, to have recourse to a substitute whenever prac ticable. In Chinas the trade has undoubtedly bought freely, but, I am inclined to think, more from the im pression that foreign speculation would preclude them from using Italians, which I have no doubt they con templated,, rather than from any particular improvement in their position. There has also been a considerable briskness in Bengsls. As regards the future, lam in clined to consider that in the absence of any political convulsion, present prices aro safe, and that an improved trade may be expected. It will be seen that the total stock of silk shows a decrease of 253,675 lbs., in com parison with this time last year." The return of the Bank of England made up for the week endin g the 3d inst. indicates a much more active business. The amount of notes in circulation was ma terially augmented owing to the larger advances upon securities, discounts we presume, and the quarterly official pay ments had only just begun to act upon the public deposits. The bullion again rose considerably. Compared with the previous week, the changes were as follows: Notes Issued ... Increase ...

The Government has abandoned the plan to raise funds for the payment of the January dividend, by the issue of cotton licenses, but has applied to Congress for authority to raise a loan ot 2,500,000 dollars, of which 750,000 dollars are to be applid to the payment of the January dividend. The loan is to be secured by duties on articles now prohibited, which prohibitions it is con templated to abolish. The President and his Cabinet appeared to he sincerely anxious that the dividend should be paid, and Mr. Falconnet thinks that this may be done at an early period, by a plan suggested by him, of the success ot which tie entertains sanguine expectations. He calculates that the produce of the revenue assigned for the payment of the interest on the foreign debt, which is not yet remitted, and is likely to accrue up to 31st Dscember, will in cash and bills amount to upward') of 850,000 dollars. On several points pending connected with the arrears, as well as on others, Mr. Falconnet was gradually coming to a better understanding with the Government, and some it was agreed on to allow to stand over for a more opportune time. Carbejsl was trying again to rally his forces in the north, but the Government was now better prepared for defence there; and there was reason to believe that the United States would adopt strong measures to prevent their citizens from joining in the fray, and that, in case of necessity, they would even direct their troops to cross the frontiers, to lend their aid in repulsing the attacks of the insurgents. Colonel Facio has received 76,000 dollars from Vera Cruz and Tampico towards the dividends; and the Com mittee has received 3,956 dolls. 97c. on account of the arrears. The amount of bullion exported from London direct during the week to Thursday last was 37,399 ounces/ all in silver, and to the continent.

Mexican Bonds have been done at 30 and 30k, and are now 29i 4. The remittance is rather more than was yesterday stated, 33,630 dollars having been received from Mazatlan. This makes in all 109,630 dollars. Spanish Five per Cents. have declined to 231 and 23. The Threes are 421 ex-dividend. Portu guese Four per Cents. are 344, and Brazilian Small Bonds 96.

From information which has reached us, but which we are not at liberty to divulge just now, we have every. reason to think that the Admiralty anticipate having to in„ crea se our naval force almost immediately, and they are 1)4, ginning to inquire where they have a chance of getting s ti , men. T hey are, in fact, asking themselves the questio, which we have often asked—" How is the fleet to be man, ned ?" This circumstance would imply that the foreign ITe lations of the country are not in that satisfactory . 4 , which it Would be so desirable they ahold W.—SW/ fin ' Gazette, Railways. I pea.
