It is dreaded lest the precipitancy of the late proceedings of the British maritime force in the Bay Fundy m a yamongthe Americans far arouse feelings of indigna tion as to lead in the end to the m os t disastrous hostilities between the race Anglo-Saxon' oneither side of the Atlantic. Against any such calamity it is, of course, in the highest degree desirabl g uarded by our diplomatists. that the future should be For upon the continued aintanance of peace between the and the English Monarchy the American Republic sacred augus t principles of civilization are in interests and mea sure dependent. Conscious — we may s fittir iy confess it great at once—painfully conscio u s that the w Ware of mil lions may be banging at this moment upon the settle ment of this somewhat intricate question, it becomes necessary, we conceive, to ex amine the matter w ith as much dispassionate caution as possible in justice to the Americans, an d we will add also with ezpecial earnestness, i n justice to her Britannic MAJr.,Try's Government. It has been the lot of the Earl of IVIALmEsnun T to be treated by the whole :Gass a the Opposition as the scapegrace, or, at any rate, as the scapegoat of the Administration. Whatever has gone amiss in public affairs since the Earl of DEußr first formed his Cabi net in February "severa l thin gs have —and unluelivy - gone amiss since that ' period—the blame has almost invariably been thrown upon the unfortunate Foreign secretary. Now, as to the administrative abilities of the Earl of MAL/a/8 11 r -RT. we must acknowledge that from the outset of the existence of the DEBBY Government, we, in common with the rest of the community, were left only to a i ld v? erness of conjec tures. From tite exceedingly in Wmious manner in which the Noble Lord had edited the diaries and correspondence of his grandfather, we could only be aware that his intellect was distinguished by a more than ordinary or average amount of intelli. Bence. Therefore, when we observed the L ame of the Earl of MALMESBURY gazetted as that of the new Foreign Secretary in Lord DERBY'S Administration, we were restricted in his regard to an isolated hope that in his new capacity his family motto might be found to augur agreeably for the interests of the empire, and that be would remember his country everywhere in compliance with that device—libique patriam reminisci! A very little while had elapsed, however, when the newly-appointed Secretary of State for the Foreign Department was charged by a hundred different voices with shamelessly truckling to the Austrian Government in_regard to the well known MATHER question, the question of " in jury added to insult "—and both offered rather wantonly by a soldier in the service of the KAISER to an unarmed British subject inoffen sively walking through one of the streets of the Tuscan capital. Happily, since then, the matter has been settled amicably to everyone's satisfaction —the credit of the result being almost universally attri buted to Sir HENRY LYTTON BIIIMER—and the blame of the previous misapprehensions being variously distributed —officially to Mr. SCARLETT— and publicly to Lord MALsansisunx. Scarcely h as the MATHER question been brought, after much squabbling, to a conclusion —when the Earl of MALMESBURY is again accused of blundering, or of incapability, both in his character a s a diplomatist a nd as an administrator, in reference to the yet more remarkable question of the North American Fisheries. Unlike the previous charge, however, which was one of undue subser viency, the present accusation is one of unnecessary bullying and intimidation. It was asserted in the former instance that the Foreign Secretary evinced a disposition to concede too much to the Austrian Government. It is averred, on the contrary, in the latter, that the Noble Lord is acting with shame less and unjustifiable braggadocio towards the United States' Government. Both imputations, it must be admitted, although diametrically opposed to each other, are of the most serious character imaginable, as directed against one of the principal personages in her MAJESTY'S Government. The first implied greater weakness and the second greater culpability than was at all agreeable to think of in connexion with one of the members of a British Ad ministration. As to the diplomatic controversy relat ing to the outrage perpetrated in Florence, we consi dered all along that Lord MALMESBURY appeared much too yielding in his mode of proceeding towards the Viennese Cabinet. But his early demerits in that transaction have been since redeemed by the satisfactory close of a very painful and, it must be confessed, a somewhat embarrassing correspondence. As to the fishery question, we can not but think, on the other hand, that the proceedings of the British Minister have been viewed with rather -extravagant severity. A little more caution might have been advisable in the method of conducting those proceedings, but in regard to the proceedings themselves, it is impossible for a single instant to gainsay that the Earl of MALMESBII RY is to the fullest extent justified in having acted precisely as he has—the right being unquestionably on the side of England, and the wrong being as unquestionably on the side of the United States. A few particulars will suffice to show beyond the possibility of misapprehension the accuracy of this assurance as to the complete justice of the late Mi nisterial doings in reference to the British North American Fisheries. According to the Treaty of 1818 between England and the United States, the citizens of that latter coun try were expressly debarred from the right of fishing within three marine miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks, or harbours of the British dominions. Acting strictly in compliance with the terms of that treaty, Lord MALMESBURY caused an American vessel to be seized the other day while her crew were fishing within the prohibited limits, in that Bay of Fundy the waters of --which wash the shores of the American state of Maine and of the British provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Imme diately after this rigorous step had been taken thirteen English vessels of war were sent into the Bay of Fundy news of the transaction arrived at Washington—the Senate be came excessively indignant—and it was unanimously resolved by a Committee upon Foreign Relations that the PRESIDENT should be called upon to send an adequate naval force as speedily as possible to the seas adjacent to the British possessions ! Precisely thus stands the matter—and it must be admitted that the position of affairs is anything but satisfactory to all who are sincerely interested in the maintenance of tranquillity. But-- e in regard to the justice or injustice of our proceedings towards the American fishermen—what can seriously be said by way of condemnation ? They had no autho rity whatsoever to fish where they were fishing, and therefore were seized summarily. In policy it would have been better, of course, to have warned them firat and then acted thus strin gently afterwards; but, in strict justice, th e B r iti s h officials were authorized by the Treaty of 1818 to do precisely as they have done—to prevent the Ame ricans from fishing within three miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks, or harbours of the British North American possessions. The Earl of DUNDONALD -- a great and illustrious au thority—objects to this as fol l ows :—‘‘ The re snl t," says he, "of authentic information derived from offi cial document., most cf which were obligingly fur nished by the zealous and indefatigable Governor then presiding in Newfoundland, proved that the British bank, or deep sea fishery, formerly employed 400 sail of square-rigged vessels, and 12,000 seamen, and that now not one of these follow their vocation, in consequence of the ruinous effect of bounties awarded by the French and North American Governments." Therefore, he argues, " vessels of war are obviously not required for the protection of the deep sea fishery, which has ceased to exist; nor are they necessary for the security of the undis turbed coloni a l p u nts which fish inshore. The stationin g more vessels of war to guard the fishery is ther e f ore a mistake, originating in a want of knowledge a o ss f ert f i a o c n t s go s." to Now, that so far as these remarkabl e prove the fisheries in those seas are virtually valueless (according to the ac tual state of thin altogether and manifestly England, they are, of course, for on the face of them undeniable. B u t f th ad duced by Admi ra l the Ea rl e very reasons to show that the late proceedin gs of DUNDONALD, were unnecessary, for those very reasons, we co nceive that some b o ld and energetic measures were demanded' her MVEsTY's Government. Wha t from says an emi nent writer, like Mr. MACGREGOR, th e • s Member for th e - and laborious city of Glas gow, ' reference to the right of la ? R e the course p u rsued by her MAJEsty's Government s a y s , once the right of England t " We admit at to enforce the provisions c of the Treaty of 1818, bu t we dread the fatal consequ es of sending a naval armament to en enforce the strict observance of that treaty." Here also, in the expressio n ' n of that anxiety we cordially agree with the Honourable Gentleman the repre sentative of Glasgow. Yet, coinciding with him in entertaining these feelings of solicitude, we cannot for a moment attach any blam e in the matter to the present Foreign Secretary. Bather does the culpability of the transaction dev olve upon the Shoulders of " that dear ABERDEEN," who in 1845, without bringing the question to any thing like a definite settlement, intimated a disposition to concede certain privileges in regard to our North American Fisheries to the fishermen of the United States, transmitting this intimation to the Republican councils at Wash ington through the medium of Mr. EnwAnD EvERRTT, at that period residing in London in the capacity of American ambassador. Whatever dis credit may attach to the o. oF ' ' gle- office, therefore, throughout the whole of these transactions must be awarded by right not to the Earlof lf 4.-ALMESBU RT but to that Minister of wholesale concessions —no w to LOUIS PHILIPPE and now to JAMES POLK—the ill-starred and unluck y ( an d, shall we say, incom petent ?) Earl of ABIRDEENI. Every succeeding account from Australia brings confirmation of the existence of gold deposits in that continent to an extent that it is becoming bewildering to contemplate. The supply appears to be altogether inexhaustible. The official statement of the number of ounces of gold which arrived in Melbourne and Geelong for the six months ending the 31st of March last, by the Government escorts, shows an extraor dinary and increasing amount. The number of ounces declared is, from Ballarat Diggings, 32,285, and from Mount Alexander Diggings, 266,698. From the latter locality, which may be termed a veritable throne of PLUM, the first instalment received was 228 ounces, on the 29th of October, whilst the last, namely, that on the 31st of March, was 60,824, throwing its rival quite into the shade, and rendering it quite a secondary field, both in extent and richness. It is said that the present weekly produce of the Mel bourne gold fields is fully 30,000 ounces, or about 100,0001. in value ; two-thirds thereof being brought down by the Government escort alone, and the re mainder conveyed privately. It is hard work, how ever, this gold -grubbing, and would appear not to be very pinguefying or beautifying to the operators ; for, in one of the letters by the recent arrivals, we read—" From the Post-office to the River Lod don, a distance of six or seven miles, the bed and slopes of Forest Creek present the appearance of being covered with a series of gigantic mole-hills, inter spersed with miserable small tents of every description, the occupants of which have a very squalid, un healthy appearance, from exposure, privation, and dust, sore eyes being universally prevalent." With such miraculous supplies of the yellow ' springing from the bowels of the earth it is nothing very in credible that philosophical equanimity should be somewhat at a discount. The maxim of the labourer is worthy of his hire' is acted on to a sublime exten sion. " Only fancy," says one astonished narrator, " a fellow asking me ss. for taking a case of goods across a street; an engineer, to drive a steamer, getting 301. a month, a joiner 14s. a day, a woman asks 301. to 401. a year, with nothing but plain victuals to dress up." In these cases there is, at all events, something in the shape of equivalent, but other individuals of still more elevated ideas adorn the country ; for twenty armed adventurers ma de a midnight sally to visit a gold ship in harbour, the Nel son, from which they carried off in safety eight thou sand some odd hundred ounces of gold, amounting in value to 30,0001. A very fair night's work, and on a par with the swagging practice of those excellent men in our own imme diate neighbourhood, the betting-office keepers, of whom it delights us to record that some twenty likewise lately evaporated with a satisfactory portion of plunder. Why don't some of the Lon don cab men emigrate ? It is recorded that cabfare in Port Philip is 4 , at the almost incredible pric e of two guineas an hour, with no hope of ever getting a cab at all unless you have the orthodox moustache, long beard, striped shirt, and general devil-may-care ap pearance of a successful miner." And here we haggle with the amiable Automedons for sixpences The thing is enough to make th e s hades of th ose de funct cab-reformers who vegetated for a season wail eternally. Yet, despite these little drawbacks to temporary ease, there can be no doubt that the gold fever will lead to results of the greatest benefit to the Antarctic world. The great labour and preca riousness of " digging," for there are blanks in it as well as prizes, will compel many who have gone out to array themselves in the spoils of Ophir to confess that it does not always answer to "make haste to be rich," and to turn their energies to ordinary indus trial pursuits. There are wholesale finders of nuggets, but there are infinitesimal ones as well, and after the rage and novelty have a little abated, and things settle down in some degree to their natural level, agricultural, and pastoral, and commercial vocations will be in legitimate vogue among the myriads who are fast peopling those distant and magnificent shores. Settlers and cfficiala are suffering sad inconveniences from the frenzy that possesses the labouring and servant , class ; yet it is but a temporary pinch, and the hosts encamped on Mount Alexander will gradually flow back, some wealthy, some regularly surfeited and glad to return to a normal industry. The great capabilities of the country will be descried by the throng of immigrants who are fast pouring in from the northern country, and the more they are appreciated the larger will be the influx of our coun trymen. The tide has been long flowing westward from our shores to what we have been accustomed to call the New World, but here is a newer world still, even at the present day the germ of a mighty em pire. The surplus population of England for whom, under the present social system, sustenance and la bour cannot sufficiently be procured, have in Australia a grand and rich field thrown open for the employ ment of their energies. There is space and room there fur labour to an extent that might most sensibly ease our internal pressure, whilst it would transform the squalor ,and penury of thousands into health and competence. The colony had been but too long in need of an irrigation of British labour, and now that the recent gold discoveries have made it suddenly a magnet of attraction, they cannot hut be viewed as pregnant with extensive social results, largely beneficial to the old country, and of incalculable importance to her gigantic dependency in the Southern Ocean. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The decrees in the ...11oniteur, granting an amnesty to fifteen of the persons who had been exiled after the coup d' itat of the 2d December, have called forth strong expressions of satisfaction from the Constitu tionnel and the Pays. The Presse also approves of this act of clemency, but thinks it might have been more extensive, or even general. It is willing, how ever, to admit that the restricted nature of the amnesty is not the result of a disposition against the principle, but of the opinion entertained by the Government that it would be better and safer to proceed slowly. There are many of the exiles who would long ago have been permitted to return to France, if they had been willing to promise to abstain from political agi tation, and no reasonable person will pretend that the Government had not a right, even for its own in terest, to require that such a promise should be given. It is probable that if the PRESIDENT of the Repub lic were to grant a general and uhconditional amnesty, even the most violent and most influential of his adversaries would be un able to give serious uneasiness to the Go vernment ; but there might be partial commotions, which it is well to avoid, and some credulous partisans who are now calm might be excited to manifestations which would necessitate repression, and make vic tims of those who, if deprived of excitement, may soon recognise the hopelessness of assistance. As a proof that personal feeling has had no influence as regards the partial amnesty which has just been granted, we have only to examine the list of names. It will be seen that there are those of persons who were said to be most deeply engaged in a political in trigue to prevent the re-election of' the PRESIDENT, and that the majority of the persons from whom the restriction to residence in France, temporarily ordered, has now been removed, are leading mem bers of the Orleanist party—that party against which precautions were considered, whether with or without cause it is not for us to say, to be essen tially necessary. It is said in the political circles that the name of M. VICTOR Huoo stood high on the list for amnesty a few days ago, and that it was only removed when he had published a new excite public 'ork against the PRINCE PRESIDENT grossly of fensive even in its title , and had besides declared that nothing should him from endeavouring to . p . revent on Th th e e u n i opinion against his Government. differs from some of its contemporaries 2d December Pu PROUDRON subject that M.

M. PROUDRON. If, for instance, he had been re strained from trying his banking system, many per sons would still believe that there was some sense in his ideas of finance. He was permitted to put it to the test, aed what could be more miserable than his failure ? The Union, however, seems to think that M. PROUDIION has still the power of being ad s . chievous, It says— " It is said that M. Proudhon's book is quite the rage, that it is sold by thousands; and yet, this pamphlet attacks everything, insults everything. Let it not be said that the eccentricity of the theories put forth re moves their danger. Nothing pleases minds worn out with emotion as exaggeration in what is false. At a time when publications are rare, such an a m u sem ent runs the chance of being anything but salutary. But who is to be blamed for this? Is it the authorities which have not prohibited the work? No, for they have acted on their own responsibility, and ought to know far better than we what they had to do. Is it the press which heralded in the work? No, for it has rosily done nothing more than quote a few page s o f i t , t o h o ld t h em up to p u blic indignation. Is it the nation, the buyers, the readers of the pamphlet? O Yes. It is they who are the real culprits, because itis they who give to the work its reputation. In a society, strong and sure of itself, such a work would have been received with silence, or, at most, with a sort of compa ss i on w hi c h a great ly dis ordered mind inspires. It would have gone to find, in the dust of forgetfulness, the wretched reveries of Cam panella and so many others. But what can be said of a country so blind and so we a k, so muc h the slave of its deplorable curiosity, as to accord attention to a mad man! _ _ We read in a Paris letter, published by the Inde pendance of Brussels : .. A few days since M. Areke Houssaye, Director of the Comedie Franeaise, received an application for a ticket, in a note signed Pierre Corneille. He imme diately went to the address of the note, one of the most wretched streets in the Cite, and there found, in the person of an ecrivain public, the sole and septuagena rian descendant of the greatest dramatic poet of France. The news of this fact was not long in reaching the Prince President, who immediately ordered M. Pierre Corneille an annual pension of 2,000 f. from his privy purse." The Moniteur du Leiret of the Bth says The President of the Republic passed yesterday on his way t o hi s p ro p er ty o f L am otte- The President left th e Ely b e i in an open a coloured cloth es , an d w ith ou t escor t, accom ctrßhi te r rra o i vi u ear g rio : no n.
