To this proposition we are induced to refer, because we recognise in it the deve lopment of that noble and generous idea which was originative of the Great Industrial Exhibition. It is intended that a prize of 4,000 francs shall be given for the best historical and literary essay on the " Political Elcquence of England"—the conditions submitted to each competitor being that he shall in his paper present a narrative of its rise in the seven teenth century, and its development under the aus pices of the House of Hanover, with illustrations of the excellence it attained from the days of CHATHAM to the days of CANNING. There is something espe cially graceful in this proposal, coming, as it does, from our rivals in the arts as well as in arms, and suggested, as it has been, by one of their most distin guished orators. Among the other projects submitted to the aspirants for the honour of success in the intended enterprise are those of—explaining the twofold influ ence of the study of the ancients and of the national character on English oratory, together with the indica tions of the most prominent characteristics distinguish ing the speeches of the great orators of England as compared with the monuments of ancient oratory, and the eloquence of the French Tribune, the essayist indicating and defining, moreover, the nature of the services rendered by political eloquence to the genius and the power of the British population. What ever compositions are penned in accordance with these - suggested conditions are to be transmitted with sealed packets, containing the names and addresses of the respective competitors, before the Ist of March, 1854, when the essays will be exa mined by a committee appointed by the Academy, the sealed packets not being opened until after the judg ment has been pronounced. From the particulars already given, as well as from the nature of the very theme selected by the Count DE MONTALEMBERT, it is at once obvious that the most probable winner of the prize will be an Englishman. A capacity for expressing his ideas idiomatically in the French language is more likely to be found among the lettered natives of the United Kingdom than an adequate acquaintance with the political eloquence of England, even among the most gifted class of Frenchmen. So manifest is this pro bability, that it may at once be reasonably presumed that the attainment of the proposed prize by a subject of V ICTORIA was directly intended from the outset by the originator, being accepted with corre spondent cordiality by his brethren of the Academy. A more graceful response on the part of the men of science and of letters in the French Republic could scarcely have been contrived in return for the magni• ficent arena opened last year in Hyde-park for the display of the artistic and industrial products of all nations in immediate juxtaposition with those of the United Kingdom and its colonies. Some scheme more remarkable for munificence might, of course, have been readily propounded, , but however distinguished by grandeur of design or magnitude in execution—not one, we rest perfectly satisfied, could have indicated a more graceful, or indeed a more permanent recognition of the probable results of the Exposition. By the projected prize, not only will a valuable essay be contributed to French literature, but that very essay will be illus trative in a peculiar manner of one of the most resplendent departments in the litera ture of Great Britain. To a nation as appreciative of eloquence as France, the theme, moreover, will be fraught with a peculiar attractiveness. Whether from the mouths of pulpit orators, such as BOSSIIET 0: RAVIGNAN, as BOURDALOUE or LACOR DAIRE, or from the mouths of _political orators “3 luta*. C., 11. U or reuese ALZAIIitIRT, al ee v ERGNIACD or maaresE—the people of France have learnt, more particularly during the last two centuries, the power for good or for evil of that sub lime capacity which revealed itself under its most al luring aspect in the days of antiquity, in what GRAT TAN picturesquely termed the " splendid conflagra tions" of CICERO, and the " rolling torrents" of DEMOSTHENES. From her own famili- (tray with the force of . eloquence ever admirable as a gift, but ever still more admirable as an acquisition—France is in a special manner qualified to appreciate the glories of British oratory, for which our literature is indebted to the impassioned genius of CHATHAM ; to the genius less impassioned but more majestic of his sun, " the heaven-born Minister;" to the florid beauties of BURKE and to various and distinguishing merits by which the eloquence of such men as SHERIDAN, FOX, CURRAN, GRAT TAN, PLUNKETT, ERSKINE, WHITBREAD, CANNING, and BROUGHAM were characterised. From the nature of the prize which is thus generously and magnani mously offered by the Academy, at the suggestion of the Count DE MONTALE3IBERT, a masterpiece may with some degree of confidence be anticipated, pro bably not unworthy of being ranked with the more celebrated among the Bridgewater Treatises, and certain to reflect honour simultaneously both upon French and English literature. When the Select Committee of the House of Corn. mona made their second report on steam communi cation with India and China, &c., after emphatically stating the serious objections to "any arrangemen t which might tend to promote an exclusive traffic on the Indian lines in the hands of one company," and that " the only security to the public for the full advantage of these communications must consist in open and fair competition," they concluded with these remarkable words :—" On the Government must rest the responsibility of car rying out that principle with honesty and fair ness to the public, and it can only be effected by ample notice and full particulars of the terms and conditions required being given, so as to enable all parties to enter the field wbo may be desirous of tendering for the service." There is an appearance of distrust and suspicion apparent about this para graph that could not at the time of publication be easily accounted for. It would almost seem as if, notwith standing the cheerful assent of the three members of the Government, who participated in their labours, 7i " 4 .1 the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Secre tary of th e B oard of Control, and one of the Lords of the Ad m i ralty, the remainder of the Committee had experienced a premonitory feeling that some dis creditable dodge would be resorted to. The matter tiy betwee n ;he Treasury and the Board of Admi ralty. The Hon. WlLLram COWPER would neces sarily have consid era b le influence with " my Lords' on a subject which he might be sup pose d to have in vestigated i n a l l its branches, while Sir C HARLES WOOD had th e ultimate decisionremaining in his own desired hands. The Committee nevertheless dsi c d o t m o m g e i n v . e additional stre ngt h and validity to their dat ions, and to impose the strop tions on their Ministerial c gent possibl e obliga -0 eag. Subsequent events have shown oes that the precaution was a wise and salutary one. It proved fruitless but it will have its due effect upon publi c • opinion, and in exposing the parties really guilty to the censure which they have so justly merited. It must be ascer tained how these thidgs are managed in Downing. street, and what are the secret influences that call into unwonted activity Bight Honourable and Ho nourable Gentlemen, and produce reports and obtain the confirmation of these reports, with a degree of speed and promptitude which we believe to be per fectly unprecedented. The necessity for the inquiry so loudly demanded at the meeting of the share holders of the E Astern Steam NaNigation Company, in the early part of this month, has been fully estab lished by the publication of the return ordered by the House of Commons on the motion of the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Bristol. We have now before us not only the tenders, but also all letters and a tatements accompanying those tenders, and the _ Admiralty reports and we must say, that 14 much stronger case for a stringent and searching investiga 7 ._, tion is thereby established than we could have anti cipated. We had previously known that although the report of 1 the Select Committee, urging the greatest expedition, I was published on the 29th of July, the tenders were 1 not required to be put in until the 26th of February• Nearly seven months were thus completely thrown away—a period that would have been exceedingly valuable if judiciously applied, and the misapplication of which might have left the eatire matter in the hands of a single company, who could then have made their own terms, the Government being entirely in their power. Viewing this part of the case in the most favourable light, it cer tainly bears the aspect of a degree of gross negli gence and unjustifiable procrastination, utterly un becoming in a high officer of the Crown, and deserv ing of serious animadversion. The apathy was, however, perhaps more excusable than the reckless and headlong activity by which it was succeeded. The Government had tendered its resignation on the 21st of February ; on the 23d Lord DERBY was entrusted with the task of form ing an administration, and his predecessors were only nominal occupants of office until his arrange ments were completed. This was the case on the 26th of February, and notice was given that the ex- Ministers would surrender their seals of office at her Majesty's levee on the 27th. Tne 26th, however, was the day fixed for sending forward the tenders for the different mail services. The day which had been fixed in the previous November could not be altered. If that were practicable, perhaps some greater degree of " decency" might have beeil ob served, and more time might have been consumed before " the foregone conclusion" was announced to the world. Every minute was, however, of impor tance—an hcur's delay might have allowed the question to be fairly adjudicated on with ample leisure for testing every point to the very bottom ; but that did not suit the views of those whose official existence had so nearly approached its termination. A stranger might have thought that they would ratber have evaded so great a responsibility, binding the country to the payment of 1,596,800/., and post poning for eight years the urgent and unanimous recommendations of a carefully selected Committee of the House of Commons. The motives must have been strong indeed that could have induced such extraordinary hardihood of assertion as that contained in the Admiralty report of the 27th of February, the morning after the tenders were lodged the very morning when " my Lords" bade farewell — we trust a long one—to the cares and sweets of office. In that report their Lordships utterly ignored the fact that the Eastern Steam Navigation Company had offered to establish branch communications between the ports of Bombay and Calcutta and those of Pe nang, Singapore, Hong-Kong, and Sbanghae, invol ving a distance of 84,000 miles additional service per annum, without additional charge, an omission the more remarkable, inasmuch as they pointedly alluded to the extra service between Bombay and Point de Gallo, volunteered by the Peninsular and Oriental Company. But, great as was the speed at the Admiralty, there was more remarkable expedition apparent at the official residence of the Financial Minister in Downing-street ; notwithstanding the melancholy preparations for the surrender of office, Sir CHARLES WCOD found time to peruse the report and record his approval of it. We know not whether he did so before or after the levee, but it would be worth knowing exactly at what hour the report of the Lords of the Admiralty was signed on the 27th, and at what time it was transmitted to Downing-street. The matter cannot stop here. It is due to the country that every circumstance connected with what appears to be a gross and palpable job should be fully and clearly explained. It is also due to Sir CHARLES Woos and the members of the late Board of Admiralty. Any further concealment can only prove injurious. The Eastern Steam Navigation Com pany, whose exertions have saved so many thousands per annum to the nation, have also a right to an im partial consideration of their complaints, and if they have been used as tools on the occasion, and led into expenses which it was determined should not produce any fruits, to fair remuneration for their losses. Of the propriet'- of the recommendation of the ior true euuouragement or an open coa. petition," and their objections to an exo:usiro h‘no on the Indian lines, we have recently had too strong a proof in the protest signed Captain Cu ARLES MORGAN ELLIOTT, of the Madras engineerF, and concurred in by five officers of her MAJESTY'S and the Company's service, against the arrangements on board the Oriental. The letter of the gallant officer—which is well worthy of perusal—clearly establishes the ad vantage of affording a choice between rival companies, and not alloNcing a monopoly to one favoured association, at the expense of the community, and thus removing the prin cipal stimulant to attention, civility, and Effi ciency. If it was known that rival vessels were to pass by the same route every alternate fortnight, and that a choice was thus afforded to passengers, we should find no such complaints as those which have emanated from Captain ELLIOTT, and -Messrs. THORNHILL, LEVINGE, WICK HAM, MAYNE, and GORDON. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. There was another grand review in Paris yesterday. The Civil Tribunal of the Seine was on Friday engaged on a very serious question regarding the confiscated property of the Orleans family, and which substantially amounted to this—whether the act of confiscation was above the courts of law or not. It may be recollected that, in order to raise the ques tion, the executors of Louis PHILIPPE had instructed the keeper of Neuilly and Monceaux to resist entry by the authorities in such a way as to oblige the latter to have recourse to force, and then to summon the tres passers before the proper tribunal, which they did, when their complaint was met by a plea on the part of the Prefect of the Seine, denying the power of the court to deal with the matter, as it was the execution of a decree of the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic, having all the force of law. On this question of com petence the Civil Tribunal of the Seine was occupied on Friday. After hearing the counsel for the Prefect of the Seine and M. BERRYER in reply, the Court made the following important decree : " Seeing that the members of the Orleans family de rive as proprietors of the domains of Neuilly and of Monceaux, either in virtue of the donation of the 7th of August, 1830, or in capacity of heirs of their father, and in part of the Princess Adelaide, their aunt, as well as by virtue of possession, prolonged beyond 20 years, founding right of prescription: "Seeing that their action has for its object the pro perty of these two domains: " Seeing that the ordinary tribunals are exclusively competent to decide on questions of property, the vali dity of contracts and of prescription: " That this principle has always been applied to the State as well as to individuals: " That thus to the tribunal alone it belongs to appre ciate the titles of parties, and to apply the law to the facts which eive rise to proceedings: " Declares itself competent, retains the cause, and, for sake of complete investigation, adjourns to this day fort night, and condemns the Prefect of the Seine to the costs of this motion." Cheers having been raised, the PRESIDENT immedi ately repressed the demonstration. The PRINCE PRESIDENT left Orleans on Thursday morning and arrived in Paris at ten o'clock that evening. The Memorial of Amiens contains an article from the pen of M. LEON VIDAL, who holds an official situation in the Ministry of the Interior, in which, examining the joint note of Russia and Prussia of the 24th of March, declaring that these Courts might re cognise an Emperor of the Republic elected for life by plebiscite, but not a hereditary empire, being con trary to the treaties of 1815, this gentleman protests against such assumption of these powers, but, at the same time, considers the principles laid down as not indicative of the personal tendencies of the Sovereigns so much as of their Ministers, especially M. DE NES• SELRODE. He does not think accordingly that any attempt would ba made to interfere with the un questionable rights of the French people to place the Imperial crown on the head of Louis NeronEorr, with descent to his heirs, should such measure be thought desirable ; and that it will be thought de sirable before long is evidently the opinion of M. LEON VIDAL. The Legislative Assembly met on Friday at a quarter past two, M. BILLAULT, the President, in the chair. M. GoIJIN complained that an error had been committed in placing his name on the list of those Bill. aepo pmtmo fact et T tde h eo e fonu ntha ne vi i Bm a ol i t u, h sb a l y t y, Members w h o bad voted against the Copper Coinage ad f be t e h n e aide —namely, amongst those of hysehohmadth formed rm e d measure pa part h t the Mimbers Who hhadd vot e d i n favour o f t h e Bill. lie wished his name to be placed on the prop er aide —namely, The President said that without fitting attention on the part of the Members themselves, it was im ' possible to avoid errors.

After the presentation of several reports on local Bills, the sitting closed at three o'clock, and the Legislative Body adjourned to Thursday, when the Budget, with which the Council of State is actively occupied, will be presented. The Pattie of Saturda7 contains the following paragraph :- 6' We have reason to believe that the Minister of General Police has intimatedto the proprietors of foreign journals that they will hare to rectify in their own columns the falsehoods (fatisses nouvelles) that may be published in them, under peealty of having their entry into Fiance interdicted." It is announced that M. I ' I:HERS has pissed through Cologne on his way to Italy, and that N. Bixso also proposes to visit the same country.

They had drawn up a commerce between Austria an d th e Zollve rein, simil ar to that conc l u d e d in 1829 b e t ween Prussia, B avar i a, and the two Hesses, of which th e 'Zollverein in its present form was the development, a treaty which f u ll y comp l ete d the aim of preparing for the custom s ' un i on b y an i n timate rallying of indus trial and commercial interests, and which tended to wa; ds the activity of the federal assembly, by the conclusi on o f international decrees bene ficial to the commerce of the whole of Germany, by at least realising them for such states as should participate in this treaty of commerce. " You have thus," said the Count, " finished the pro ject of a treaty of customs union between Austria and the States of the Zollverein, which--without di>turbing the organisation of the latter, and without prejudice to the p os iti ons attained, is destined to b e the realisation and termination of the treaty of com merce. We have held ourselves aloof from the opi nions of extreme parti e s ; we offer only what i s prac ticable, and have in no respect exceeded the limits traced out by circumstances. I confidently expect that the course followed by Austria and the other Governments here represented will not re main without favourable reaction. For if we hold to the realisation of the propositions of general interest which we make, we must desire that obligatory conventions will not be made at the conference now opened at Berlin until the treaty of commerce and of customs union with Austria has been negotiated, and is ready to be simultaneously signed. You have yourselves been convinced, and your labours testify that so close a treaty of commerce as we all desire is impossible without numerous changes in the tariff of the Zollverein, and that th ese changes are the necessary condition of not being able so largely to participate in the customs duties." The Count further declared that Austria, ceding to the de sire of the Governments there represented, was ready to adopt in her legislation the principles and instiutions of the Zollverein, and that it was evident this de claration could only have reference to the - tried Qtleel. , +:— „; tsaza aaaa ao , w hil e it remained ..chnn g e s wo re made by one of the contracting p ar ti es on l y, and w i thout pre vious understanding with Austria. The Count con cluded by assuring them, in the name of his EM PEROR, that, despite the loss of the late Minister, " we shall still uaarch forward with the same perseverance towards the tame end—the future customs union of Germany and Austria." After this address the Bavarian Plenipotentiary, Cuunt VON LERCUENFELD, briefly replied, fully adopting the views of Count BUOL, and the meeting was at an end. The following is a résumé of the final protocol of the Vienna Congress, signed in the sitting of the 20th: " The Austrian Government declares itself ready to conclude a commercial and customs treaty, conformabl e to the above mentioned pr:ojeer, with Prussia, the Stat es at present united with it in th e Zollverein, and tho se who shall enter in 1854, part, declare that they are re a d y to accede to a treaty this protocol, on their " The Governments. signing of commerce and of customs, and a treaty of commercial union between Prus:ia, the States now included in the Zollverein, and those which shall enter it in 1854, on the one part; and Austria, with the States which shall be in union with her on the Ist January, 1854, on the oaten Tbey promise to hasten the adhesion of the other States . of the Z i ll vere i n to t h ese trea ties, as far as possible in conformity with the pro ject above developed; but if this cannot be without modifications of the project, then these Governments further declare their readiness to enter into negotiations always preserving the leading t as the basis of an agreement. T fpor h rin e es C i Fn leh e s iU mo s f i ° O it n hifie o c i rt t ol h l e en s c e treaties shall coincide, in point of time, with the renewal or transformation of the Zollverein." The last accounts from Carlsruhe state that the death of th e G RAND DUK E was exp ected to take place every instant. The Grand Dukes NICHOLAS and MICHA EL left Stutgardt on the 19th, and passed through Ulm, on their way to Italy._ The Prussian National Gazette announces that the Germanic Diet insists on the state of siege being raised in Electoral Hesse. ITALY. t In consequence of the conversion of the old French Five per Cents., the Minister of the Interior at Turin, M. PERNATI, has directed the Intendants ; General of Piedmont to demand the reimbursement of the capital belonging to charitable institutions, in vested in the said stock, since they may be re-in vested at five per cent. in Piedmontese stock. The Intendants have time until the 15th of next month to apply to the French Government for repayment. In its sitting of th e 19 t b , the Cham b er o f Deputies of Turin passed th e B i ll f or the concess i on of the Sacigliona and Coni railway line by 98 votes to 5. It also passed a Bill for the levy of 100 sailors for the royal navy. Professor BERTOLDI, Inspector-Extraordinary of the schools of the island of Sardinia, who has been directed by the Ki ng o f S ARDINIA to restore or d er in in the University of Cagliari, has issued a decree, dated the 14th, forbidding the students to loiter about the corridors of the university buildings, to form groups, or to come armed with sticks. The GRAND DUKE of Tuscany has issued a decree, I dated the 17tb, ordering the drainage of the swamps of I3ientina, in the unwholesome Maremme of Gros , seto, to be commenced immediately.

Among other things, the Jamaica merchants were com plaining much of the new arrangements of the Royal Mail Steam Company, and addressed a letter to the de legates appointed to represent the state of the island. The r W foe perceive llowin thatgareex you trac arets:— fully aware of the injnry being at present sustained by every man interested in trade, from the sudden withdrawal of the long-esta blished and direct communication previously maintained between this port and those of South America—viz., Santa Martha, Cartbagena, Chagres, and Grey Town, and alto between this and St. Jago de Cuba. " You must likewise be well cognisant of the fact, that several memorials and petitions have been at various times transmitted, as well from the Legislative bodies of this island as from the merchants and others interested in its commerce. To none of these, however, has the least atten ion been conceded. It is only neces sary to request your perusal of the accompanying copy of memorial which was sent to the Board of Trade (and to which no reply has been receiv.d), to point out the grievances under which we still suffer, and to enable you to reiterate them in the proper quarter. • "It would be almost superfluous to allude to the gross injustice inflicted, and to the utter want of ex cuse which could at all be afforded by the Royal Mail Company for having so altered the mutt-, tbis harbour being by far better adapted for the coaling and water ing, &c., of their steamers, than the one of their late se lection, whilst the position of this port stands unri valled in its advantages for the very purpose which the company affect, that of a speedy and di rect communication with the isthmus, &c.; and that this averment is advanced beyond dispute is fully borne out by that which is of almost daily occurrence, to wit, an earlier receipt in England_ by several days, of the correspondence from Chagres, yid this island and the United States, than of those mails conveyed by the com pany's steamers via St. Thomas." The Pacific and South American advices have been anticipated by last week's arrival from New York, but w , learn that u p war d s o f a million of dollars in specie are coming forward, besides the 257,0001. brought by the Clyde. The New York advices still notice a low rate of ex change, 1081 to 109, owing to ehii..ments of produce to England and large orders for public securities. Pros pects, however, were favourable, and the Californian news was dull. The Ham burgh advices of last Friday quote the ex change on London steady at 13 6i. Stocks and Shares were firm and money was easier. At Amsterdam on the 24th inst. Dutch Stocks were supported with limited bargains, and not much was done in other securities. — ln Demerara, petitions to Parliament for the enforce. meat of the treaties with Spain and Brazil were being stumerously signed. . . . • At Sc. fucia sugar cultivation scarcely paid expenses.
