AUG UST 10, 1852 Anxiety is very generally and very naturally felt as to the probable consequences .)f the misunder standing recently excited, in refers :ace to our North American Fisheries, between the respective Govern ment 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 F undy may so far arouse feelhigs of indigna- Lion among the Americans as to lead in the end to the most disastrous hostilities between the An g l°- Saxon race on either side of the Atlantic. Against any such calamity it is, of course, in the highest degree desirable that the future should b© guarded by our diplomatists. For upon the continued maintenance of peace between the American Republic and the English Monarchy the sacred interests and august principles of civilization are in a great mea sure dependent. Conscious — we may fairly confess it at once—painfully conscious th a t th e welfare of mil lions may be hanging at this moment upon the settle ment of this somewhat intri ca t e question, it becomes necessary, we conceive, to ex amine the matter with as ranch dispassionate caution as possible in justice to thr Americans, and we will add also with especial earrwstness, in justi ce to her Britannic MAJESTY'S Government. It has been the lot of the Earl of MALMESUtaY to be treated by the whole mass of the Opposition as the scapegrace, or, at any rate• as the scapegoat of the Ad ministration. Whatever has gone amiss in publi c affair s Since the Earl of DERBY first formed his Cabi net in Pebruary— an d un l u ckily several things have gone amiss since that period—the blame has almost invariably been thrown upon the unfortunate Foreign Secretary, sow, as to the administrative abilities of the Earl of Da At uxen URY, we must ackn owled g e that from the outs of the ex i s t en ce of the DERBY t e Government, community, were l e f t only we, in common w i t h t h e rest of the conjec tures. From th d . is exce€ I • • to a wilderness of Inw'moua manner in - THE S tJ - which the Noble Lord had edited the diaries and correspondence of his grandfather, we could only be aware that his intellect was distinguished by a more than ordicary or average amount of in elli• Bence. Therefore, when we observed the name of the Earl of MALMESBURY gazetted as that of the new Foreign Secretary in Lord DERBY'S AdministaaHon, we were restricted in his regard to an isolated hope that in his new capacity his family motto might be found to augur agreeably for the interests of the empire, and that he would remember his country everywhere in compliance with that device—Uliive patriani renanisci! 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 ra'her wantonly by a soldier in the service of the KAIAER to an unarmed British subject inoffen sively walking through one of the streets of the Tuscan capital. Happily, since then, the matter has been settled amicably to everyone's satisfaction—the credit of the result being almost universally attri buted to Sir lIENILY LTITON BULWER—and the blame of the previous misapprehensions being variously distributed —officially to Mr. SCARLETT— and publicly to Lord MALMESBURY. Scarcely has the MATHER question been brought, after much squabbling, to a conclusion—when the Earl of MALMESBURY is again accused of blundering, or of incapability, both in his character as a diplomatist and as an administrator, in reference to the yet more remarkable question of the North American Fisheries. Unlike the previous charge, however, which was one of undue subser• viency, the present accusation is one of unnecessary bullying and intimidation. It was asserted in the former instance that the Foreign Secretary evinced a disposition to concede too much to the Austrian Government. It is averred, on the contrary, in the • latter, that the Noble Lord is acting with shame . less and unjustifiable braggadocio towards the United States' Government. Both imputations, it must be admitted, although diametrically opposed to each other, are of the most serious character imaginable, as directed against one of the principal personages in her MAJESTY'S Government. The first implied greater weakness and the second greater culpability than was at all agreeable to think of in connexion with one of the members of a British Ad ministration. As to the diplomatic controversy relat ing to the outrage perpetrated in Florence, we consi dered all along that Lord MALMESBURY appeared much too yielding in his mode of proceeding towards the Viennese Cabinet. But his early demerits in that transaction have been since redeemed by the satisfactory close of a very painful and, it must be confessed, a somewhat embarrassing correspondence. As to the fishery question, we can not but think, on the other hand, that the proceedings of the British Minister have been viewed with rather extravagant severity. A little more caution might have been advisable in the method of conducting those proceedings, but in regard to the proceedings themselves, it is impossible for a single instant to gainsay that the Earl of 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 li nisterial doings in reference to the British North American Fisheries. According to the Treaty of 1818 between England and the United States, the citizens of that latter coun try were expressly debarred from the right of fishing within three marine miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks, or harbours of the British dominions. Acting strictly in compliance with the terms of that treaty, Lord MALMESBURY caused an American vessel to be seized the other day while her crew were fishing within the prohibited limits, in that Bay of Fundy the waters of which wash the shores of the American state of Maine and of the British provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Imme diately after this rigorous step had been taken thirteen English vessels of war were sent into the Bay of Fundy news of the transaction arrived at Washington—the Senate be came excessively indignant—and it was unanimously resolved by a Committee upon Foreign Relations that the PRESIDENT should be called upon to send an adequate naval force as speedily as possible to the seas adjacent to the British possessions ! Precisely thus stands the matter—and it must be admitted that the position of affairs is anything but satisfactory to all who are sincerely interested in the maintenance of tranquillity. But—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 whatscever to fish where they were fishing, and therefure were seized summarily. In policy it would have 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 American possessions. The Earl of DUNDONALD a great and illustrious au thority—objects to this as follo-,vs :—" 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 than 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 tha 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 knowledge of facts." Now, so far as these remarkable essertions go to prove that the fisheries in those seas are virtually valueless (according to the ac -1 tual state of things) to England, they are, of course, 4 altog e th er and by that Admiral late manifestly on the face of them undeniabl e . But for the very reasons ad duced the Earl of I) UNDONALD, to show proceedings were unnecessersa for those very reasons, we conceive, that some bold and energetic measures were demanded from h er MAJESTY'S Government.

Eve 17 succeeding account from Australia brings confirm ation of the existence of gold deposits in that continent to an extent that it is becoming bewildering M 1) 0 N, to contemplate. The supply appears to be altogether inexhaustible. The official statement of the number of ounces of gold which arrived in Melbourne and Geelong for the six months ending the 31st of March last, by the Government escorts, shows an extreor 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 Patrus, the first instalment received was 228 ounces, on the 29th of October) whilst the last, namely, that on the 31st of March, was 60,824, throwing its rival quite into the shade, and rendering it quite a secondary field, both in extent. and richness. It is said that the present weekly produce of the Mel bourne gold fields is fully 30,000 ounces, or about 100,0001. in value ; two-thirds thereof being brought down by the Government escort clone, and the re mainder conveyed privately. It is hard work, how ever, this gold- grubbing, and would appear not to be very picguefying or beautifying to the operators ; for, in one of the letters by the recent arrivals, we read---" From the Post-office to the River Lod don, a distance of six or seven miles, the bed and slopes of Forest Clods present the appearance of being covered with a series of gigantic mole-hills, inter spersed with miserable small tents of every description, the occupants of which have a very squalid, un healthy appearance, from exposure, privation, and dust, sole 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 eomewhat at a discount. The maxim of the labourer is worthy of his hire' is acted on to a sublime exten sion. " Only fancy," says one astonished narrator, " a fellow asking me ss. for taking a case of goods across a street; an engineer, to drive a steamer, getting 301. a month, a joiner 14s. a day, a woman asks 301. to 401. a year, with nothing but plai n 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 30,000/. 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 U 3 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 ev er getting a cab at all unless you have the orthodox moustache, long beard, striped shirt, and general devil-may-care ap pearance of a successful miner." And here we haggle with the amiable Automedons for sixpencec! The thing is enough to maks 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," fur 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 thi ngs settle down in some degree to their natural level, agricultural, and pastoral, and commercial vocations will b 3 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 back, some wealthy, some regularly surfeited and glad to return to a normal industry. The great capabilities of the country will be descried by the throng of immigrants who are fast pouring in from the northern country, and the more they are appreciated the larger will be the influx of our coun trymen. The tide has been long flowing westward from our shores to what we have been accustomed to call the New World, but here is a newer world still, even at the present day the germ of a mighty em• pine. 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 t end 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 Mon:teur, granting an amnesty to fifteen of the persons who had been exiled after the coup d'etat of the 2d December, have called forth strong expressions of satisfaction from the Constitu tionnel and the Pays. The Presse also approves of this act of clemency, but thinks it might have been more extensive, or even general. It is willing, how ever, to admit that the restricted nature of the amnesty is not the result of a disposition against the principle, but of the opinion entertained by the Government that it would be better and safer to proceed slowly. There are many of the exiles who would long ago have been permitted to return to France, if they had been willing to promise to abstain from political agi tation, and no reasonable person will pretend that the Government had not a right, even for its own in terest, to require that such a promise should be given. It is probable that if the PRESIDENT of the Repub lic were to grant a general and unconditional amnesty, even the most violent and most influential of his adversaries would be un able to give serious uneasiness to the Go vernment; bat there might be partial commotions, which it is well to avoid, and some credulous partisans who are now calm might bs: excited to manifestations which would necessitate repression, and make vic tims of those who, if deprived of excitement, may soon recognise the hopelessness of assistance. As a proof that personal feeling has had no influence as regards the partial amnesty which has just been granted, we have only to examine the list of names. It will be seen that there are those of persons who were said to be most deeply engaged in a political in trigue to prevent the re-election of the PRESIDENT, and that the majority of the persons from whom the restriction to residence in France, temporarily ordered, has new been removed, are leading mem bers of the Orleanist party—that party against which precautions were considered, whether with or without cause it is not for us to say, to be essen tially necessary. It is said in the political circles that the name of M. VICTOR HUGO 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 PRINCE PRESIDENT grossly of fensive even in its title, and had besides declared that nothing should prevent him from endeavouring to excite public opinion against his Government. The Union differs from some of its contemporaries on the subject of the permission granted to M. Paoupuors to publish his work on the coup d'etat of 2d December. The Constitutionnel has observed that M. PROUDRON is one of those writers who serves a cause best by attacking it, and facts have shown that the observation was justified. M. PROUDHON has put forth many theories which have been refuted by events, but which would have still possessed a certain influence if they bad not been made so public that everybody could appreciate them and watch their failure. There is a saying in America, that the higher a monkey climbs the more he shows his tail, and this may be said of the schemes and theories of PROUDIION. If, for instance, he had been re strained from trying his banking system, many per sons would still believe that there was some sense in his ideas of finance. He was permitted to put it to the test, and what could be more miserable than his failure The Union, however, seems to thick that m. p ilouvi i 9 ll has still the power of being mis. chievous. It says— ng. Let it no t b e thousands; and " It is said that M . Proudhon'a bo ok is quite the rage, that yet this pamphlet a 'aid that the eccentricity of the the ories put forth re „heir danger.

No, for they have acted on their own reLponsibility, an'_' ought to know far Letter ttan wa whet they bad to do. Is it the press which bertd(led in the work?

But what can be said of a county so blind and so weak, so much the :lave of its depiorabk3 curiosity, as to accord attention to a mad man!" We read in a Lens letter, published by the Inde penchnce of Brussels : " A few days since M. Areene Iloussaye, Director of the Comedic Fran!aise, received an application for a ticket, in a note signed Pierre Corneille?. He imme diately went to the address of the note, one of the most 7.retched streets in the Cite, and there found, in the person cf an ecricam public, the sole and septuogena i ian descendant of ihe greatest dramatic poet of France. The news of this fact was not long in reaching the Prince President, who immediately ordered M. Pierre Corneille an annual pension of 2,000 f. from his privy pure." The Moniteur du Loiret of the Bth says:— " The President of the Republic passed yesterday through Orleans, en his way to his property of Lamotte- Beuvron. The iresident left the Elyse, in an open carriage, in coloured clothes, and without escort, accom puled only by acme of his aides-de-camp, also in plain clothes. He tools his departure from the Paris terminus by a special train at half-past four. He arrived at Or leans about seven, but, turning aside close to the town at the curve near the Pont de la Bourie, he passed on to the Vierzon line, and arrived at Lamottc-Beuvron at half-past seven. He will return to Paris this evening or tomorrow. This excursion of Louis Napoleon to his property in the Soloene was made with such secrecy that none of the Paris journals have even men tioned it." The municipal council of Toulouse has just voted a credit of 50,000 f. for the fetes in honour of the in tended visit of the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Re public.

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 t a k en on specu l a tion. The market closed steadily. The sales comprised 5,000 American, 500 Pernam and Maranbam, at 6d. to 7d.; 2,500 Egyptian, at SP. to 7d.; and 1,800 Surat at 31d. to &id 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 regret to 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 atmospherio 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, bo 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 laid; 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 / higher; via., 13 si. Wheat was dearer, Coffee very quiet, and Cotton in request.
