TUESDAY, Anxiety is very generally and very naturally felt as to the probable consequences of the misuder standing recently excited, in reference to our North American Fisheries, between the respecti ve Govern meat of the United States and the United King dom. It is dreaded lest the precipitancy of the late Proceedings of the British maritime force in the Bay of Fundy naly so far arme feelings of indigna tion among the Americans as to lead in the end to the most disastrous hostilities between the Anglo-Saxon ra race on either Bide of the Atlantic Against any such highest degree desirable calamity it is, of course, in the that the future should be guarded by our diplomatists. maintenance of peace between upon the continued the American Republic and the English Monarchy the sacred interests and august principles of civilization are in a great mea sure dependent. Conscious—wecos ciconscious s a t once —painfully nthat e welfare of mil lions may be hanging at this moment upon settle ment of this somewhat intricate the question' i t becomes n ecessar y , we conceive, to ex amine the matter with as much di spass i onate caution as Poss ibl e in j ustice to the American s , an d with especial earnestness, in we will add also justice to her Britannic DIAJESTY'S Government. le has been the lot of the Earl of MALIVESeta t y to be treated by the whole mass of the Opposition as the scapegrace, or, at any rate, as the scapegoat of th e administration. Whatever has gone amissin public affairs since the Earl of DERBY first formed his Cabi net in February— wad an d u nluckily seve ral things have gone amiss Luc e that Pe" 'od—the blam e has almost invariably been th rown upon the unfortunate Foreign Secretary. N • of the Earl of Now, to the administrative abilities EiEinty, We must acknowledge that from the outset o f ' the existence of the DEBBY Government, we, in commo n with the rest o f the comm unity, were left only to a w ild erness 'cif conjec tuxes. EXCM tke izzeedi n 1 S Y ingenious - manner irt SUN, which the .;.:oble Lord had edited the diaries and correspondence of his grandfather, we could only be aware that his intellect was distinguLbed by a more than ordinary or average amount f intelli gence. Therefore, when we observed the name of the Earl of MALMESBURY gazetted as that of the new Foreign Secretary in Lord DERBY'S Adm nistration, we were restricted in his regard to an isolated hop that iu his new capacity his family motto might be found to augur agreeably for the interests of the empire, and that he would remember his country everywhere in compliance with that device—Ulfique 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 KAI , Et to en unarmed British subject inoffen sively walking through one of the streets of the Tuscan capital. Happily, SiT3C3 then, the matter has been settled amicably to everyone's satisft ction—the credit of the result being almost universally attri buted to Sir HENRY LYTTON BTJLWER—and the blame of the previous misapprehensions being variously distributed —officially to Mr. SCARLETT— and publicly to Lord MALMESBURY. Scarcely has the Maretaa question been brought, after much squabbling, to a c onclusion —when the Earl of MALMESBURY is again accused of blundering, or of incapability, both in his character as a diplomatist and as an administrator, in reference to the yet more remarkable question of the North American Fisheries. Unlike the previous c harge, h ow ever, which was on e o f un d ue 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 edrnitted, 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 LIALMESBURY 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 MALMESBURY 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 ttarteen tnaglisn vessels in ricu titut. 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—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 ha ve been better, of course, to have warned them first and then acted thus strin gently afterwards; but, in strict justice, the British 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 Ame rican p ossession s. The E ar l of DUNDONALD great and illu s tri o us au thority—objects to this as follows :—" The result," says he, "of authentic information derived from offi cial documente, most of 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 colonial punts which fish inshore. The stationing more vessels of war to guard the fishery is therefore a mistake, originating in a want of seasarassertions virtually knowled ge o f f acts ." N o w, so far as these remarkable irtually g v o a t l o ue p l r e prove (according hat the t o fisheries the a in e those - tual state of things) to England, they are, of course, altogether and mauifestly on the face of them undeniable. But for the very reasons ad duced by Admiral the Earle Co show that the late proceedings were unnecessary, for those very reasons, we conceive, that some bold and energetic measures were demanded from her meeesTr's Government. 'what says an emi nent writer, like Mr. lttleco axo oa, the gifted and l a borious Member for the city of Gies reference to the right gow, in of the course pursued by her MAJESTY'S Government? —e says, " We admit at once the right of England to enforce • - of the Treaty cf 1818, but d the provisions we dread the nces of sending a naval armament fatal consequences to observance of that treaty." H enforce the strict also, in the eXP resFion of that anxiety we cord ially 11' agree with the Honourable Gentleman the repre sentative of Glasgow. Yet coinciding with him in entertaining these feel ing s of solicitude, we cannot for a moment attach any blame in the matter to the present Foreign Secretary. Rather does the . c ulpability of the transaction devolve up on the shoulders of " that dear ABERDEEN," who in 1845, without bringing the question intimatedto any• thing like a definite settlement, 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 Me. EDWARD EVERETT, at that period residing in London in the capacity of American ambassador. Whatever die credit may attach to the Foreign-office, therefore, through ou t th e whole of these transactions must be awarded by right not to the Earl of MALMESBURY but to that Minister of wholesale conceasions—now to Louis Penairrn and now to JAMES POLK—the ill-scarred and unlucky (and, shall we say, incom petent ?) Earl of ABERDEEN. Every succeeding account from Australia brings confirmation of the existence of gold deposits in that continent to an extent twat it is Wowing bewilderin to contemplate. The supply appears to be altogether inexhaustible. The official statement of the number of ounces of gold which arr ived in Me lbo u rne and Geelong for the nix 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, 266,398. From the latter locality, which may be termed a -veritable throne of PLUTIN, the first instalment received was 228 ounces, on the 29th of Ocfober, w hilst 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 .aid 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 atone, and the re• inainder conveyed privately. It is hard work, how ever, this gold-grubbing, and would appear not to be very pieguefying or beautifying to the operators ; nor, in one of the letters by the recent arrivals, we read—" From the Post-office to the River Lod den, 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- Tersed with miserable small tents of every description, he 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 40/. 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 made a midnight sally to visit a gold ship in harbour, the Nel son, from which they carried off in safety eight thousand 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 London cab men emigrate ? It is recorded that cabfare in Port Philip is "at the almost incredible price of two guineas an hour, with no hope of ever g at all unless you have the orthodo x 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 the shades of those 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 thin g s settle down in somedegree 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 officials 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 beck, 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 ono larger will be the of nTir 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 for 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 but 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 ...I.foniteur, granting an amnesty to fifteen of the persons who had been exiled after he coup di itat of the 21 D-cember, have called forth strong expressions of sati faction 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 abstsin 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 thatsuch a promise should be given. It is probable that if the PRESIDENT of the Repub lic were to grant a general and unconditional 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 reco i gnise the hopelessness of te,sistance. 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 wiin 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 work against the "'emu PRESIDENT grossly of fensive even in its title, mid had besides declared that nothing should prevent him from endeavouring to excite r public opi n ion against his Government.

He imme diately went to the addressf the note, one of the most •eretched streets in the Ci, and there found, in the person of an ecrivain publ the sole and septuegena ian descendant of the greast dramatic poet of France. The news of this fact w not long in reaching the Prince President, who inediately ordered M. Pierre Corneille an annual penm of 2,0001. from his privy purse." The Moniteur du Loil of the Bth says : " The President of th Republic passed yesterday through Orleans, on his vy to his property of Lamotte- Beuvron. The Presiden left the Elys t 3 in an open carriage, in coloured clot's, and without escort, accom eauied only by some of s aides -decamp, also in plain clothes. He took his deeture from the Paris terminus ey a special train at halpast four.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es timated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 American, 2,000 Egyptian, and 1,000 Surat, were taken on speculation. The market closed steadily. The sales comprised 5,000 American, 500 Pernam and MAranham, at 6ftd. to 7d.; 2.500 Egyptian, at sitl. to 7-id.; and 1,800 Surat at 3-0. to 41d per lb.—Railway shares were rather firmer. The latest information received concerning the current Crop is no better than that previously to hand. Messrs. Witherby and Hanson state:— " The latest dates now to hand are to the 27th July from Patras, and 29th from Zante, and we regru. state that they continue to be uniformly unfavourable; the disease was still committing general devastation, de stroying in some parts nearly all the fruit, in others three-fourths, in some one-half. The Cephalonia crop seems hitherto to have been the least injured, the fruit in that island being less exposed to atmospheric influence than in other localities in consequence of a different mode of culture. It is a general opinion that much more than half of the crop of currants will be lost, and that even the sound part, if it escape rain, will prove to be very inferior in quality." The San Francisco Whig says—" Horace Cole, Esq., and other San Francisco merchants, contemplated fitting out an expedition to Japan. For this purpose they will purchase and fit out an elegant clipper vessel, and at once sail for Hong-Kong, where they will remain till such time as the American squadron, under com mand of Commodore Aulick, shall proceed in ac cordance with instructions to the port of Jeddo, for the purpose of opening a commercial in tercourse with the Japanese Government, and in the event of making commercial treaties, be the first un der the protection of the American flag to take advan tage of the newly-opening field of commerce. The time cannot be far distant when Japan will cease to be an unknown land; when her ports shall open their rich commerce to the enterprise of the American merchant. We hope the men of San Francisco will be the first to explore this new field, and the first to reap any advan tage therefrom. Success to Mr. Cole and his asso ciates." The Hamburgh mail of Friday last brings the rate of exchange on London I higher; viz., 13 54. Wheat was dearer, Coffee very quiet, and Cotton in request. From parts of Holland the advises respecting the crops continue very favourable. The ship Tamar brings 67,0001. in gold from Aus tralia.
