Encouraged by their success, and anxious to extend the sphere of their Political Influence and Social Utility, the Proprietors hare re solved on the proposed Enlargement of the DISPATCH, which here after will answer the purpose of FOUR NE WSPAPERS, *ad thus accommodate four readers at one and the same time. The columns of the DISPATCH will still continue to be enriched by the powerful contributions of " PUBLICOLA," " CAUSTIC," " CENSORIUS," ELIZA. COOK, and other writers eminently distinguished for their literary attain ments, and whose opinions have ever advocated the cause of the People, in opposition to tyranny and injustice. It may also be ob served, that the POOR MAN will always receive LEGAL ADVICE arid assistance, as heretofore, from the DISPATCH. A beautiful New Type has been cast, on which the DISPATCH ill next year be printed. . _ Advertisers are respectfully requested to forward their Advertise- Lents on or before Friday Afternoon, otherwise no attention can be paid to them for the current number. An Edition of the DISPATCH is published at Five o'Clock every Saturday morning, for transmission by the First Train and Morning so that persons residing in towns 150 miles from London may receive it the same evening. An EXPRESS EDITION of the DISPATCH is published every SUNDAY AFTERNOON - , containing news direct from Patis, sad other parts of the Contineat, ap to eight o'clock on Saturday *rotting!

CAPITAL UPWARDS OF TWO MILLIONS. Annual Revenue upwards of Three Hundred Thousand Pounds. Average Amount of Insurances during the last twelve years, upwards of Half a Million Annually. The representatives of an original member dying in tke present Year, after payment of the premium for the current year, would re ceive a bonus coal to upwards or 91 per cent. on the original sum Insured. And the representatives of an original member dying in the Year 1852, after payment of the premium for that year, would receive a bonus equal to upwards of 106 per cent. on the sum Insured. Various inquiries having of late been made as to whether this Society is in the practice of allowing commission to solicitors and others who may be the means of procuring business, the Directors take this opportunity of expressing their disapprovalof the system, and of intimating that except to the recognised and duly appointed local agents of the Society, no allowance of the kind is ever made, the effect of any such misapplication of the funds of a Mutual As surance Society being to withdraw from its members a portion of the profits which ought to be reserved for their benefit, and for their benefit alone.

A contest is rife—and the struggle's approaching, We hope no dark mischief is likewise encroaching: But this is a game of political chance, Which may darken the horizon fearful of France ; ALA still let us hope, that at peace with the world, The banner of France may be brightly unfurled: This struggle enforces a moral—and we Would show up its workings—in this you'll agree. For a contest for Fame is en every day sight, And though "Might" may find backers—victorious is " Right." When HYAM contested, all England--now mark, The People, in ecstacies, cried " What a lark !" "How the Tailors will muster to throw him aside, But, in spite of them all, in his greatness and pride, ttiumpd o'er all, and, defying his foes, Was elected the " President" always for Clothes !

T HE CATHEDRAL and the ABBEY ; OR, THE RIVAL CITIES. We poets claim the power of giving speech To whatsoever lies within our reach ; To us, it matters not a single jot, Whether things be animate or not. I mention this by way of an excuse For what I'm now about to introduce. 'Twas twelve o'clock at night—and moon and star Shone on the Cities crossed by Temple-bar, When thus the Abbey of the olden time Soliloquised aloud with midnight chime. " Another day is measured by my hands, And still Old Westminster unrivalled stands. Proud, proud am I to hear my double tower In this great seat of splendour, wealth, and power. What is that boasted town beyond the Bar, Compared with mine, whose scenes surpass it far ?" " Stop," said St. Paul's, " beshrew that empty boast, And think Which all the country value , most — (Here the Cathedral gave another stroke, And London echoed as the big bell spoke)— Where's your Exchange, your Mansion-house, your Docks, Your trading houses with their valued stocks? You talk of what Old Westminster discloses, But where's your ` Mart of Fashion'—where's your MOSES ? Your venerable grey old towers I guess Have seen no match for MOSES' LONDON DRESS. A h ! antiquited temple! if you saw What thousands MOSES' Winter GannentS draw; If you beheld how fine the dresses are. At MOSES' Mart on this side Temple-bar. If your old tower—the home of sleepy bats— Viewed MOSES' far-famed House for LONDON HATS, Hats, touching which, it may be truly said, That MOSES' Hats are always at the head' If you beheld the LONDON BOOTS AND SHOES, Which thousands at the Mart of MOSES' choose ; Could you but witness with your ancient dial How MOSES' Boots and Shoes stand every trial; And could you see their stock of LONDON FURS, In buying which, no purchaser demurs, Furs for whose equal you would vainly search, Except at MOSES' Shop, near Aidgate Church. If from your ancient site you could but see Their prime supplies of LONDON HOSIERY. If all the goods of MOSES you could view, You would not vainly boast, r a now you do ; But viewing what the princely House discloses, You'd ask yourself the question—' Where's my MOSES ?'" E.

REGENT-STREET and CORNHILL. THE NICOLL : this is an abbreviation of the title given to a Patented Outer Coat, called " The Nicoll's Chlamys Paletot," the said curtailment being first suggested in the daily correspondence of the several Agents appointed under the above patent, and it will no doubt be generally adopted in preference to the name in full, through being more convenient t o use . THERE is a double use and purpose in the NICOLL, or PATENT CHLAMYS PALETOT, in other words, the same garment can be used as a warm winter Overcoat, and will look equally well as a light Paletot (used in walking, &c.). indeed, for the latter purpose it represents the popular and fashionable Registered Paletot, which, when it is desirable to form into a warm winter garment, the same is transformed into the Nicoll, by the simple addition of a wadded interlining, which is in corporated with the lighter Coat in a most perfect and original manner; this can be attached or detached without the least trouble to the wearer. A most moderate price is fixed for these two garments In one, viz., Three Guineas. MEMBERS of the CLERICAL, LEGAL, and MEDICAL PROFESSIONS, it is presumed, will all readily concede their patronage to the new patented invention called THE NICOLL, inasmuch that, besides its soberness of colour (a black, or almost invisible green, or dark blue), and unpretending appearance, it is the only garment extant which presents to gentle men thus' engaged a proper defence against the ills arising from a variable climate (the origin of colds, &c.) To these it is said profes sional men are more susceptible than others, arising from close study, and their otherwise general sedentary habits ; now should the morning atmosphere be mild or warm, and the latter part of the day cold, the Nicoll is a garment that vt 111 provid e f or b o th cont i ngencies. TO MERCHANTS, STOCK BROKERS, UNDERWRITERS, "&c., going to or returning from the City, E s also all others requiring a warm wrapper or overcoat morn • ings and evenings, but whose bustling avocations during midday, by inducing a proper circulation of blood, the possession of a lighter Paletot would then be desirable, as too often the ease, the said warm coat is suddenly thrown aside, and much risk to bodily health in curred. AILWAY TRAVELLERS pronounce the Lilo NICOLL or PATENT CHLAMYS PALETOT to be indis pensable to their eeltnfort upon a journey for the five following reasons : First —lt is a warm overcoat. Secondly—lt can be converted Into a light overcoat at the journey's end. Thirdly—lf travelling by night (or even in the day-time) when an ordinary hat is irksome, a portion of the lining (which is perfectly concealed till required) can then be brought out, and by a ready and most simple contrivance, can be converted into a graceful cap or hood, which effectually protects the head, ears, and neck from cold draughts of air. Fourthly—lt has a pocket protector, which, as its name would in dicate, preserves from loss the railway ticket or loose cash, &c. The last, though not least, important distinction presented by the Nicoll, beyond anything of its nature ever laid before the public, consists in its moderate price, viz.. Three Guineas (to which add half a guinea for the Chlamys Hood). Indeed, was not the sale of thousands contemplated, Messrs. Nicoll would lose rather than be fairly remunerated by the low prices quoted. MESSRS. NICOLL are the originators and sole proprietors of the deservedly well-known REGISTERED PALETOT (6 and 7 Vic., c. 65) of Llama Cloth, and they continue to be honoured with the patronage of their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert, Prince George of Cambridge, Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, his Grace the Duke of Wellington, and others distinguished in rank and fashion, the Court, the Pulpit, and the Bar. AGENTS for NICOLLS' PATENTS.—AII those Firms throughout the various parts of the United King dom and the Colonies, who, up to the present time, have held a local Agency for the Sale of the above Patentees' original and popular in vention called the REGISTERED PALETOT, &c., will also hold the appointment for the sale of all the new Patents, subject to the usual conditions. Gentlemen, Non-Residents in the Metropolis, are constantly de siring that a mode of self -measurement should be published, as also the addresses of the Country Agents. The first-named object can be easily effected by means of public Advertisement, as a descrip tion of the number of inches around chest and waist (taken under the coat) will alone suffice; but the names of all the Agents selling Nicolls' Patented Garments are too numerous, to be described through the same medium ; however, the address of the nearest shall be immediatAy forwarded upon application to Messrs. Nicoll's Counting House Department. The following Agents have a very large variety of the above goods always ready for inspection, viz. : Messrs. Macdona, Molesworth-street, Dublin. Messrs. Wareing and Son, New-street, Birmingham. Messrs. Dawbarn and Son, Bold-street, Liverpool. Messrs. Christie and Son, George-street, Edinburgh, J. Bruce, Cape Town. C. Roth, Philadelphia. It. Rutherford, Hong-Kong. I D. Wilson and Co., Calcutta, CAUTION. —We, the undersi gne d, h ere b y d ec l are our intention to institute Legal Proceedings against any person or persons who, after the date of this notice, shall make, or cause to be made, any infringement upon the Patent granted to us under the title of Improvements in Garments, Pockets, &c. The said invention consists—Firstly, of a mode or modes of making or constructing Garments for various parts of the human body ; and, secondly, of a mode or modes of making or constructing Pockets and other such receptacles. The spirit of the Invention in the first part may he roughly described as the adaptation of the linings of outer Coats or Paletots, Sse., to a separate Garment and purpose; and, in the second part, the Pockets or other such receptacles are protected isy the apertures to the same, expanding to admit the hand, and im mediately collapsing upon its withdrawal. We also hereby give notice that we have assumed original and descriptive titles as our trade mark, whereby the said first and second parts of our invention may be always distinguished, that is to say the first part is styled " The Nicoll" (being the abbreviation of the full title of the Nicoll Chlamys Paletot), and the second pail is called "The Patent Pocket Protector ;" and further it is our in tention to apply to the High Court of Chancery for Injunctions to restrain, &c., and to employ all other legal means to prevent unau thorised persons from applying either of these trade marks or terms to other articles, or selling or offering for sale any garment, &c., being an infringement of the said Patent, and by such acts tending to our injury and the deception of the public.

His Lordship, being a good deal indisposed, did not eke his seat till past 10 o'clock. Thomas Hague (aged 28) and William Wilson (35), were indicted for burglary, and stealing from the house of IL H. Rosenberg, at Sheffield, on the 3d of August last, five half crowns and ten shillings. The prosecutor was a tobacconist, and his brother, who managed his business, locked up the premises at ten o'clock at night, but returned for a cigar in a short time, when two men rushed out of the house, and one of them knocked him down, and they ran away. He ran after them crying out police, and a policeman stopped Hague, handed him to witness, and ran after the other. Hague then said, " I'm not the man, leave hold of me," and struck witness over the head several times with a life-preserver ' but he kept his hold until th e pol i ceman brought ba c k Wilson, and then Hague threw away the life-preserver, six skeleton-keys, and a chisel. Wit ness's head bled, and was very much hurt. On return ing to the premises he found three drawers broken open, and a cigar -box containing the above moneys was taken. On being searched the identical sum and coin was found in Haynes's waistcoat pocket, and ho now pleaded guilty, and was called as a witness to prove that it was not Wilson, but Thomas Thompson, of Manches ter, who was with him, and he denied that he knew Wil son, or had ever been with him. In this he was contra dicted by a publican, who said that they had often been at his house drinking together, were there the previous night, and that he noticed them particularly, because they were bad characters. A woman also, who said she was a married woman, was called for Wilson, and she swore she was standing with Wilson for ten minutes before ho was taken into custody ; but the jury at once found Wilson Guilty. His LORDSHIP said, as they had committed burglary when armed, and one of them (and must consider both responsible for it) had used considerable violence, he mast give them a severer sentence than usual. One of them had also committed perjury, and the other subor nation of perjury, but it had not prevailed. He then sentenced them to be:transported for 15 years. John Metcalfe, aged 27, and Robert Slater, 23, were indicted for a highway robbery, at Givendale, near Ripon, and stealing from Thomas Macdonald one sove reign, two half-sovereigns, one shilling, ono sixpence, and four pennies. The prosecutor was an Irish ;reaper, who had come over hero for the harvest, and he and two other Irish men, named Henry, were, on the day named, going along the highway, when they met the prisoners, who asked them where they were going. They answered they were looking for a job of .shearing. They had sickles with them. They (the prisoners) said they had some a little further on, which they would let to them, and they turned back with the prisoners. Slater then asked Macdonald for his sickle, and Metcalfe asked P. Henry for his, and they gave them. Slater then sat down on the road-side, and Metcalfe went on with the prosecutor and his party. After a while Slater rejoined them, and seized the prosecutor, and asked if he had any money about him. P. Henry asked him if he intended to rob prosecutor. Slater then pulled off the cap of P. I Henry, and prisoner threw it away and seized P. Henry by the neck, and Metcalfe seized the prosecutor and took out of his pocket a purse, containing one sovereign, two half-sovereigns, one shilling, one sixpence, and four pence. He returned the purse and copper, but kept the 21. ls. 6d. Prosecutor said he would get a constable if he did not give him back his money. Metcalfe then took out a knife, opened it, and ran after P. Henry, but he escaped. He then returned to the prosecutor, and told him to be gone, or he would run the knife through him, at the same time giving him a blow with his fist. Metcalfe was taken into custody the following morn ing, at Ripon, but Slater had got to Burlington, 65 miles off. When they were taken before the magistrates, it appeared they changed coats, but Metcalfe accounted for it by saying Slater was courting a girl, and he had lent him his, as the better coat, to go and see her on Sunda) eyming. When Slater was apprehended, just coming from the railway, at Burlington, he said his name was Smith, but on being told the charge on which he was taken, ho said, Oh, I don't care for that, my name is Slater. Mr. OVEREND addressed the jury for Metcalfe, con tending that it was only a row; they had no intention of robbing the prosecutor. Besides, there were discrepan cies which disentitled the witness to credit. It was ab surd to suppose they intended to rob or had robbed an Irish labourer. Mr. Justice MAULE, in summing up, said there were discrepancies in unimportant matters. It was for the jury to say how far that affected their confidence as to the rest. The jury retired, and on their names being called over on their return, it appeared one, whose name was Turner, had been sworn in the name of Dunn, and a question arose whether it was nut a mis-trial. His LORDSHIP asked Counsel on both sides if they had any objection to make. Mr. BLANSHARD, for the prosecution, said he had none to make; he was quite content to take the verdict of the jury as it was. Mr. OVEREND, for Metcalfe, and Slater, for himself, objected, but did not state the reason or the nature of the objection. His LORDSHIP then ordered the verdict to be taken, and The jury pronounced both prisoners Guilty. There was no one of the name of Dunn on the panel; but the juryman who had been sworn by that name was one of the panel. It was quite clear it arose from a mis take only, either of juryrnan or the clerk of arraigns. Before Mr. Baron Platt three cases only were tried this day, one an uninteresting burglary committed by a hawker, who, having called at the prosecutor's during the day and seen a watch hanging, had returned at night, broke a square of glass, and stole it; another of f a l s e pretences, occupied nearly the whole day. Liverpool, Dec. 14. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)' Andrew Gaynor, 54, Patrick M'Cormack, 26, Betsy Gaynor, 31, Catherine Wheeler, 26, (were indicted f or having, at Liverpool, feloniously in their aposses sion ndalso a mould, intended to make counterfeit shillings, with having unlawfully in their possession four pieces of counterfeit coin, knowing the same to be counterfeit and false. The prisoner Gaynor was found Guilty, and t h e others were Acquitted. Sentenced to two year.' imprisonment. Edward Smith alias PI unhet, 28, was indicted for having, at Stretford, unlawfully uttered to Joseph Mar riot Barber one base shilling and two base sixpences, knowing the same to be base; and with having at Man chester, on the same day, uttered one other base sixpence. The prisoner was found Guilty. Mr. Powell, from the Mint, produced the record of a previous conviction against the prisoner, and The COURT sentenced him to ten years' transportation. Peter Bamford, 46, and Margaret Ward, 39, were indicted for having, at Great Bolton, uttered two coun terfeit halfcrowns, knowing the same to be counterfeit. From the statement of the case by the ATTORNEY GENERAL, it appeared that the prisoners had passed the money at a public-house, and that upwards of twenty other counterfeit half-crowns were found in their pos session. Mr. Tindal Atkinson defended the prisoner Bamford. The prisoners were found Guilty. Sentence—The prisoner Bamford to be imprisoned for is months, with hard labour; and Ward 1£ months' imprisonment, with hard labour. James Kelly, 24, was placed at the bar charged with the wilful murder of Elizabeth Faulkner, at He a t on Norris, on the 12th of Septem!.fer last. The circumstances of this shocking ease will be fresh in the recollection of the public, having been published in the newspapers at the time. The murdered woman was the prisoner's sweetheart. When called upon to plead, the prisoner, whose coun pleaded Guilty tenance exhibited the deepest dejecti on, to the charge against hi ee m. His LORDSHIP after a feeling address to the prisoner, passed the awful sentence of death upon him in the usual terms.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em- S:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set- Cement. Honour and justice demand that health sheuld form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, er can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has • been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION. illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa ions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, or infection.

S N DECEMBER 15, 1848. . . SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIM`FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. ES.—The more the returns of the French Presi dential election become known, the more do they per plex and confound all foresight and judgment. A result so uniform, decisive, and overwhelming, was anticipated neither by the friends nor by the opponents of the Bona- I park family. For, although it may be possible to form a correct estimate of consequences arising from definite or rational causes, it is impossible to set bounds to en thesiasm, or to sound the depths of illusion. The universal character of this vote could only havo been obtained by the real merit of the most exalted genius, or by a fortuitous combination of conflicting ele ments momentarily pressed into the service of an I imaginary power. Since an immense majority of the French nation have declared that Louis Napo leon Bonaparte shall be President of the Republic, they must either have obeyed some paramount and irresistible impulse pervading the whole country, or that majority must be formed and constituted by a great diversity of motives, all conspired to promote the Prince's election, and each of them more powerful than the influence of his competitors. The primary cause, we have little doubt, was irrespective of the person of the candidate altogether, and would have operated with equal power in favour of the Prince de Joinville, or any conspicuous anti-Republican candidate, who could have been proposed to the suffrages of the people. This de cision is a distinct protest on the part of the French nation against the Republic, the Republican party and the revolution by which that party dethroned the late dynasty, and grasped the supreme power. If the votes of the French nation in the month of April last had not been given under an abject fear of civil war, and of that monstrous Government which had suddenly sprung into life, like the monster of Frankenstein, to be the curse and terror of those who made it—if France could at that period have summoned up the courage and the composure re quired to pronounce a deliberate and unbiassed judgment on the Republic and the Revolution, we have no doubt that the Provisional Government in all its shades, from M. Marrast down to Albert ( courier) would have been condemned and deposed by a majority not less decisive than that which has now swept away the last of these men to make way for an Imperial Pretender. But the violence done to the nation had paralyzed its voice and its conscience; it submitted tamely to the rascals and fanatics who set up the cry of "Vive la Republique ;" and it had not yet been learned by actual experience the bur den and the shame of such a Government as that of the National and its allies has since proved. The Republic is now, however, judged by its fruits. It has not plunged into that sanguinary terrorism, the mere dread of which compressed opposition and induced many a reed to bend before the blast, but it has inflicted on all classes an amount of privation, distress,:and suffering, eminently calculated to provoke general opposition and discontent. The first Republic struck like the lightning, blasting and destroying all it touched, but leaving many parts of the nation unscathed and the condition of the peasantry ab solutely improved; the second Republic spared nothing— its operation was universal, and though it shed no tor rents of blood and proscribed no classes of society, it ar rested the vital circulation of the country, it attacked every man in his calling and his property, and sunk the whole community from the summit of prosperity, luxury, and greatness, to the depths 'of humiliation, unrest, and disease. If, therefore, the Republic had few partisans in February, beyond the turbulent popu lace of the great cities, and the adventurers who specu lated on the audacity of the few and the debility of the many, it is not surprising that the resistance of the na tion to the faction which imposed this revolution upon it should have gained strength and courage before Decem ber. To censure and eject the men of the Republic was, therefore, the first desire of France. This general cause, however, has been reinforced by a multitude of particu lar and accidental motives. The name of Bonaparte unquestionably had great weight in the rural districts. When universal suffrage is granted to a people wholly unprepared to form an enlightened political judgment, it is atter all for a name, and no more than a name, that the votes of an enormous class of the community are given. The candidate is to them an ideal being, and even in the midst of our own more circumscribed electoral contests the experience of every day shows that a public candidate is at once invested with a host of ima. ginary qualities by party zeal and popular ignorance. When, therefore, the name of the candidate was Na poleon Bonaparte, and awakened all the associations of a time of which the splendour and the glory have been studiously held in memory, whilst its miseries and bur dens have been forgotten, no wonder that the more en thusiastic part of the nation were carried away by it. But, as there is nothing so likely to enlist popular sup port as a great name which has done nothing, as there is nothing so apt to alienate popularity among the masses as the performance of the arduous duties of Go vernment. All Governments are vulgarly held respon awe for a large portion of existing evil which is wholly beyond their COM! vl , .11 rrovornments nave disappointed solicitants and rivals ; all Governments must employ power to repress disorder, and are hated by those whom they repress. In France, where inordi nate expectations have been raised by the promised or ganization of labour—where solicitation of office is carried to the last excess, and the distribution of patronage is odiously disputed—where the peace of Paris can only be maintained by rigorous precautions, it is not surprising that General Cavaignac should have created in five months of power more enemies than he deserved. It is clear from the returns that a very large number of the extreme Republicans throughout France must have voted for Louis Napoleon, in order not to throw away their votes on impracticable candidates. In Paris at the last election in July the ultra-party re turned Raspail by 66,000 votes—on the present occasion the whole amount polled in the capital for Ledru Rollin and Raspail together does not exceed 33,000; and it is evident that the force of the revolutionary party is not correctly indicated by the suffrages given to the Red Republican and the Socialist. Those factions probably speculated on the election of Louis Napoleon precisely as the Royalists have done, though from the opposite mo tive; both these extremes were opposed to Cavaignac because he threatened to give stability to the existing form of government, and they have promoted the election of Louis Napoleon as the means of transition either to the restoration of the Monarchy, or to the horrors of a more violent convulsion. It is not impossible that the enormous amount of the majority may have disconcerted these calculations and produced a result very different from that contemplated .by those who contri buted to promote it. Louis Napoleon undoubtedly as sumes power with greater chances of duration and suc cess than were thought possible a few weeks ago; but with the instances of popular inconstancy which this revolution has afforded, we cannot allow the mere enthu siasm of the hour to dissipate at once real and well grounded mistrust. Something of this mistrust already manifests itself in the very first act of the new Govern ment,—the choice of a Ministry. Far from aspiring to the honour of serving in the Cabinet of the President of France, it would seem that every man who has a reputa tion to lose acquired in the service of the state shrinks aside, stands aloof, and leaves those places which are commonly the object of such intense ambition to second rate and untried inen. The President, it appears, is to be the head of his own Government; the choice of the Vice-President, which rests with the National Assembly upon the presentation of three names to it by the Presi dent within one month of his election, is still undeter mined; and amongst the names attributed to the future Cabinet we find none, save that of Odilon Barrot, en titled to higher official rank than that of an under secretary. CHRONICLE.—The immensity of the majority in Louis Napoleon's favour has defeated the sacred mys tery of the ballot-box. We are as sure of his election as the Committee:of the Assembly will be on Christmas day. We are, accordingly, not a little delighted at escaping the harassments of deferred expectation, and very much so at being freed from the necessity of again replying to the National. For the "governing journal" was found a precious jewel in the head of adversity. The Constitution, which it despaired of contingently a few days ago, has gained a new lustre in its eyes since the defeat of Cavaignac. On Monday it lectured us severely for subordinating the mighty question of the Presidency to miserable considerations of commerce and stock-jobbing. On Wednesday it discovers that, with its hand on the Constitution, it can afford to despise a round dozen of Presidents. Before the election, an Imperial President was the " eternal disgrace and temporary ruin" of the Republic— after it, he becomes a democratic accident, a mere bubble on the waves of popular government. So that the National has very nearly come round to our opinion. We exalted commerce; our contemporary magnifies the Constitution. We were content to neglect a deficiency of Republican sentiment, in comparison with the revival ofthe of the the virtuesNationa of theabsolutely l e l .T contemnshe p .t, in con sideration Constit ution! it certainly needs some one to believe of lip-service in p- sitery II ica p on to the end :of last week, it was the object the part of all France.

It is the production of fifteen gentlemen, sitting round a green table, wit e l i i .e ae a co t py d o is f o t r h e e . American Code before them, and ear! u tion. It might have been more, conditionally. But the condition has not been fulfilled. Thrce-fourths of the French people have just shown that they will neither be bullied nor cajoled into dissembling their dislike of this document, and their 'detestation of its orig;nators. The enormous majority of Louis Napoleon is composed of three elements. It is swollen by the numbers of those who care nothing whatever for the Republic—of those who hate it altogether—and of those who confine their abhorrence to the phases it has assumed since February. The first category embraces all the French peasantry. The rustic population has availed itself of universal suffrage to in dulge the only romantic feeling it is in the habit of ex periencing. It 145 used the balloting papers as it Would a dead wall—it has scribbled on them the rude record of its sympathies. Who does not remember the beautiful prophecy of Beranger—that exquisite song, in which he foretells, that though Paris may do homage to the Bour bons, on parlera de sA'gloire in the cottages—father tell ing the tale of the Imperial victories to son, and grand• mother to grandchild! So it is. The glory of Napo leon is the sole theme of the con teur of French village life, not even obscured, at the present time, by the shadow which dims it in Beranger's poetry— the memory of the misery which HE spread far and wide. And it is as independent of Re publics, as it was of Bourbon restorations and Or leans substitutions. Whoebut the narrow dreamers of Paris, would have supposed that, instead of the glorious substance of these traditions, the peasants would be con tent, or able, to grasp the loose generalities and dog matic crudities of Republican theory?—that a clique of Parisian journalists could change the direction of an enthusiasm like this, and bring it to bear on the senti ment, whatever it may be, embodied in the starched per sonality of Cavaignac? The second class of Louis Na poleon's supporters is composed of the adherents of the two Bourbon dynasties, indiscriminately mingled. The Orleanists are, probably, greatly in the minority. The larger part of them, though the least eminent, seems to have passed over to Cavaignac with M. Dufaure. In deed the position and antecedents of the lately exiled family almost excluded that pertinacity of re trospective regret which creates and sustains a party like that of the Jacobites and Legiti mists. Their worthiest supporters were supporters from reflection ; and these are, of course, a•tuated by motives very different from the chivalrous hope, and no less chivalrous despair, which dominate alternately the energies of the Carlists. , Sentiments very much mixed —designs half understood, and plans half matured—in fluenced, in all probability, the voting of these latter. Louis Napoleon can hardly have many attractions for them, and they have too little hypocrisy to disguise their state of mind in relation to Cavaignae and Marrast. No bad exponent of their doubts is, perhaps, their honest hearted leader, M. de Larochjaquelin, who is said t o have inscribed on his b a ll o ti ng - car d the name of Abd el-Kader. The remainder of the majority comprises such Frenchmen as have sincerely accepted the Re public, and will continue to support it, should it prove separable from the policy of the men of February. There is abundant proof, that many of the soundest patriots and clearest thinkers of France are inclined to disregard particular forms in government, provided that certain all-important ends can be attained. These have no prepossessions against a Democratic, and in favour of a Monarchical regime, except in so far as the machinery of the former is prima facie clumsy and cumbrous. If the Republic be compatible with the stability and well being of society, they will become its loyal and devoted servants. Louis Napoleon will almost certainly select his first Cabinet from among them. Their administra tion will show how much moral elevation and material prosperity is possible under the new Constitution. Should they fail, it will perish utterly. An indignation will throw it to the winds, and Louis Napoleon may crown himself, if he pleases, at Notre Dame. ADVERTISER.—There is no longer gany:doubt about Louis Napoleon's return—not merely any doubt as to his having a majority, but of his having the abso lute majority, and by that means taking the Presidential question altogether out of the Assembly's hands. Here then we have the first results of universal suffrage on an extensive scale. We do not venture any prediction as to what influence the choice which the French people have made will have on the future destinies of their country. If the event be not productive of infinite evil, those who have brought it about will not be entitled to the credit of the negative good. No thanks to them if the elevation of Louis Napoleon to the Presi dentship ne not speedily followed by scenes of dis• order and bloodshed of the most appalling kind. They have pursued the very course which of all others held out the greatest promise of producing that result. To have rejected such a man as Cavaignac, would have been sufficiently foolish; it would have been the height of ingratitude to boot. But to elect such a man as Louis Napoleon is the very consummation of folly. We go still farther than this: it involves, in the case of many persona of high standing in society, no small measure:of positive criminality; for there can be no question that thei r so l e i n d ucement to support the Prince: was the hope that his success would pave the way for scenes of anarchy, which they might turn to their own private purposes. We envy not the discernment of the man who could for a moment suppose, that such men as Thiers and Odilon Barrot—Marshal Bugeaud and General Changarnier, gave their suffrages and support to Louis Napoleon, because they thought him the fittest man for the office of President. It was because they were satisfied that he was jest the contrary that they exerted themselves so I strenuously in his favour. The two former hope that the effect of his notorious incapacity for administering the affairs of France, will promote the cause of the Count de Paris: ae.:ie the two latter cateut-,-_ with fequal confidence, on subserving the wa hrrations of the de Bordeaux to the throne of France. It is to this most unnatural and corrupt coalition, in conjunction with the dense ignorance of large masses of the constituencies, that Louis Napolean owes his success as candidate for the Presidential chair. There is not a man in all France,whose vote was solely dictated by a consideration of the relative fitness of the two candidates for the pest of President, who did not heartily support the claims of Cavaignac. Republicanism will receive a heavy blow from the result of the Presidential contest. It is one of the great principles of Republicanism, that the suffrage ought to be universal. Here we have an illustration of the way in which such a principle is calculated to work among the masses. The result proves that the masses are not fit to be entrusted with the electoral franchise. They have made, in this instance, the very worst use of it which it would have been possible for them to do. There is no reason to suppose that, while so . much igno rance prevails among the masses, the franchise will, on a future occasion, be exercised to any better purpose. Away,' then, with universal suffrage, until the people have, by universal education, been rendered fit to make a proper use of the electoral qualification. Let no one any longer advocate that " point" in the Charter. Let those who feel so disposed, stick, by all means, to the remain ing " points;" but let no one whisper a word in favour of universal suffrage. Henceforth we shall have no patience with them. We will not condescend to enter into any argument with them. We will silence them at once, by referring them to the result of the Presedential contest in France. That will be a standard and un answerable argument in all time coming against the adoption of the universal suffrage principle. To an hour's harangue in its favour, in the House of Commons, or out of it, a triumphant answer will always,be found in five brief words—" The return of Louis Napoleon." We deeply feel for Cavaignac. He deserved a different fate, He ought to have been chosen to the Presedential chair, amidst the universal acclamations of the people. Alas! for national feeling, and national justice. Whatever may be said of other countries, there is neither feeling nor justice, as national sentiments, in France. It treats with the grossest ingratitude its greatest patriots. It knows no sense of obligation to the man who has saved it from destruction. It prefers the man who has made France ridiculous all over the world, by his Boulogne and Strasburg exploits, to him who rescued it from the horrors of anarchy and human carnage in June last. But let not Cavaignac be disheartened. The day is coming when full justice will be done to him. Nor is that day distant. Bitterly, ere long, will Frenchmen rue their preference of Napoleon to Cavaignac. If the result of the choice they have made, should be to plunge their country anew into the depths of anarchy, and lead to II repetition of those scenes of butchery and bloodshed, which, in June last, filled the world with horror, they will have themselves to blame. They will then, if not be fore, open their eyes to the enormous error into which they have fallen. Bitter will be their self-reproaches-- pungent the qualms of their consciences. What, if be fore many months have elapsed, the very men who, to serve their own private and party purposes, have de prived Cavaignac of the Presidency, should be obliged to implore him, as he was implored in June, to put down some new insurrection in the streets of Paris? The contingency has not the impress of improbability about it. Should it occur, and the power of a military dictator be again placed in the hands of Cavaignac, we cannot conceive of a greater triumph for him, nor mortification for them. Then will come his time. Then will be his day of victory. The lessons of experience will by that time have made their impression ; and the man who, notwith standing his inestimable services to his country, is now neglected and treated with the worst ingratitude by his fellow-citizens, will become the idol at whose feet they will fall down, and to whom they will offer their moat profound homage. In the meantime Louis Na poleon is the god of French idolatry. He is not to be envied on that account. He may not think so now --be will before many months h ave e l apsed. He has been suddenly raised by the po wer of public opini on to the highest pinnacle in the land. It is a perilous em s i t nen H ce e , as he will most probably soon discover to his stands on a giddy hei g ht. A breath of populcaor indig nation may, in a mo ment, precipitate him to the ground. But we will indulge in no references as to the probabili ties of the future. Events will speak for themselves much sooner, we fear, than either himself or his friends are prepared to expect. POST.----The Presidentship of the Republic of France may now be considered as settled. Louis Napoleon is the mar. Should we have said the fortunate man? We are not sure. That must be left for time to decide. The result of the election is no surprise to us, for it is that which ou r we ll - i nformed Paris corr espondent gave us to expect, and g ave th e pu bli c to exp ec t, ever Slue the candidates have been in the field. Certainly, when we compare the present position of Louis Napoleon with that which he occupied when first elected to the National Assembly, and while yet re strained by circumstances from leaving London to take his seat, we must acknowledge that so great a change within so short a time has seldom taken place in the condition of any man. Not often in the world's history has Fortune so rapidly turned her wheel, or through so wide a range of circumstances. Still, however, the progress of events since the election of a President was determined upon was such as might be calculated by an observant eye, and therefore we have had it in our power to assure our readers, all through the struggle,. that the end would b e such as the returns prove it to h ate been, The lucky [ADVERTISEMENT.]—John Kaye, Esq., of Dalton hall, near Huddersfield, in order to prevent impositions, has consented to have his coat of arms and a fac-simile of his signature appended to the directions wrapped. round each box of the celebrated family medicine pre pared by him, and known throughout the kingdom as "Kaye's Worsdell's Vegetable Restorative Pills."

POOLE AS A CHANNEL ISLANDS STATION. •-•.- The superiority cf Poole over Southampton as a Channel Islands station has been fully exemplified during the late gales. The Courier steam-packet, which left Southamp ton at her usual hour on Monday se'nnigbt, put into Studland Bay for shelter in the course of the night, and Subsequently on Tuesday into Swanage Bay, which latter she did not leave till one o'clock on Wednesday morning. For the information of persons not intimately acquainted with the geography of these bays, we may state that one forms a portion of the outer harbour of Poole, and the other is separated from :it by but a bluff headland and jutting rock. Had Poole been the port of departure the passengers would not have suffered the inconvenience of the very rough passage from the Needles, and the company would have been saved a large consumption of coal. Further comment on this we consider to be at present unnecessary. We last week announced that there were six French vessels in our harbour. This number has since been doubled, there being now twelve alongside our quay, principally he vessels empl oye d in the iFardeennc with ivthessels corn. lyin g T New foundland trade are also arriving, five being at present discharging their cargoes, and others are daily expected, as well as several additional cargoes of corn. —Poole and Dorset l lt D E A TH EATING ENWHOLES E lera y Yesterday Mr. Bake r h e ld an_ adjourned at the London Hospit a l, on Neriah Cochlin, aged nineteen years. It appeared that deceased was taken into White chapel workho use, on the afternoon of the 6t h instant. She present e d t h e appearance of a dying person. Every remedy was tried, but she never rallied, and died in about twenty minutes, supposed to be from an attack of cholera. Dr. Letheby analyzed the contents of the stomach, which contained a quantity of cheese ; this being placed tinder microscopic inspection, was found to contain small fungi, which is indicative of decomposition, and he attributed death to the deleterious effects of such cheese. It is supposed that she bad purchased the cheese from one of the hawkers in the streets who are at present extensively vending what they term a new cheese, at the rate of threepence per pound. The jury ultimately . returned a verdict that the deceased died from the deleterious effects of putrid cheese, and think it right to caution persons against purchasing a similar article so sold in the streets. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF TWO CHILDREN.—The following painfully interesting and lamentable ocnr rence took place last week in our neighbourhood. The heroic tenderness of the poor sister, even in death, is nearly without a parallel, except in romance:—On Fri day se'nnight (the same night on which the death-ship, the Londonderry, was making her fatal trip from Sligo), two children, a broth and sister of the name of M'Grath, he being 14 and she 16 years of age, were returning, between nine and ten o'clock at night, from Dergbridge market. Their way for two miles lay across the bleak mountains of Tern where there was neither road nor dwelling. There, it seems, the storm and cold of that tempestuous night became too much for their physical powers. In the morning they were found dead by each other's side. The girl on leaving home had a shawl and small woollen handkerchief; ono of these was found wrapped round the brother's feet and legs, and the other round his head and neck, while his two hands were folded in her bosom; she, it seems, was:trying to preserve his life while her own was fast ebbing away.—Dublin Free man's Journal. - - THE TRAGEDY ON BOARD THE LONDONDERRY.--.-- • It is stated that several of the survivors of the late fatal voyage, who have lost their relatives, are about to insti tute law proceedings against the proprietors of the steamer, who, however, have undertaken to discharge all thei; MGM [PRICE SD. chance, if such it may be called, in favour of Louis Na poleon has been, that 'various interests have- thought proper equally to confide in him as upon'the whole the most likely to fulfil their hopes. Cavaignac had with hitio,'as it was reasonable he should have, the suffrages of the si ncere R epublicans of France, and.of those men who are friends of the de facto Government merely be. cause it is the Government. But our readers have heard from us often enough that but a minority of the French people, and not a very important minority, care a jot for the severe simplicity of Republicanism, and its ablest 1 representativ e in Franee—the grim, uncompromising General Cavaignac. They want, in their government, energy, brilliancy, force, grace, and grandeur. They want such a Government as that -of the Empire, without italesolating wars and frantic ambition; which always placed France in &Igen Louis Philippe was called the Napoleon of Peace, but be was no such thing. There was nothing noble, nothing grand, nothing striking in his mode ofgovcrament. It was able government in some respects, but it was too cunning, too mean, too self-seekihg for -the French taste. They became- weary of him, and his perpetual planning, and finessing, and affectation of virtue. They wanted some one who would trust more in the public spirit of France. The French, we say again, no not want a Republic, nor a Monarchy sur roundel with Republican institutions ; but they want a monarch who will govern upon popular princip.'es, and adapt both his public measures and his persona.' deportment to the prevailing national spirit of Franco —its bravery, its brilliancy, its love of theatrical effect. All this is hoped for in Louis Napoleon Thi is what makes him, in a national sense, popular. His name is much, and carries great weight with the army. The Legitimists have voted for him as being, upon the whole, less opposite to their hopes than Cavaignac would have been. The Orleanist Regency menlhave supported him as hoping to bo the actual Go vernment while he occupies the position of head of the State. All these interests he had with him, and only the sincere Republicans and the mad Revolutionists against him. Thus has his victory been secured. But what personal qualities has Louis Napoleon for his high position ? We believe that his abilities are much more considerable than the English public generally, and his opponents in France, give him credit for. He is con demned for two ridiculous expeditions into France in search of empire. But he is condemned, perhaps, too has tily. A political coup de thetitre is not an absurd thing in France except when it fails. The two coups of Louis Na poleon did fail ; but, had they succeeded, no one would have called them absurd, or unsuitable to France. Louis Napoleon is not so voluble in speech as many French men are, but he is intelligent, and his observations are characterised by good sense. The little book which he published from his prison at Ham has been called Socialist book, but is nothing of the kind. It indulges, indeed, in views of a sort of military organization of the people for th e p urpose of cultivating the ground, and supporting the millions better than they are now sup ported; but the frantic licentiousness of Socialism finds no place in his book. We are no flatterers of Louis Napoleon, nor shall we ascribe to him higher qualities than he has actually developed; but we contend that, so far as the world has any means of knowing, he may be regarded as a man of patriotic and benevolent intention, with a mind more than usually devoted to the theories of popular organization and graduated discipline. HERALD.—H Tories, or thorough Conservatives, are not in high feather to-day, they must be hard to please. A straightforward, downright Conservative has been walking through the largest county in England for a fortnight past, meeting and answering the questions of his opponents in this style:—" Will you revise the Pension List?" " I won't cut off a single pension'"— " Will you vote against the Queen Dowager's 100,006/.?” " No, I won't."—" Will you vote against - the King of Hanover's pension?" " No."—" Are you in favour of a more Equalised system of taxation?" " No."—Will you abolish Church -rates?" " No." —" Will you vote for the abolition of the ecclesias tical courts?" " No."—" Will you vote for the aboli tion of the navigation-laws?" "I will not pledge my self." " Will you support a bill for the emancipation or the Jews?" " No."—" On what grounds do you oppose the endowment of the Roman Catholics?" " Solely on the ground of the errors of their faith and doetrina." Thus, plainly and frankly, has Mr. Denison declared himself, to use his opponent's own words, " a thick-and thin Tory." He is Protectionist and "Bigot," as they term it, all in one. Well, he has been proclaiming these opinions for a fortnight past, through every town in the West Riding, and the first day's poll stands thus:— Denison ... 10,797 Eardley ••• ... 8,043 Thus realisin g , i n one d ay, even more than the majority of 2,000 which we yesterday ventured to prognosticate.
