Actors, according to that courtly expression which has become proverbial, are designated her MAJESTY'S servants. Assuredly they might yet more truthfully —and we say this without any question whatever of their loyalty—be termed also the public benefactors. For, of all classes of the community, theirs is the one which dedicates more particularly its whole energies to the sentiment, the sensibility, and the intellectual entertainment of the multitude. To them we are in a special manner indebted for those touching and graceful impersonations which effect more than ser mons or homilies in softening the moral and elevating the mental character. With them, although unknown to ourselves personally, we acquire an earnest and familiar friendship—associated as they are with our joys and sorrows, our tears and our laughter. They minister at the altar of our hearts, in the shrine of our c msciences, and open to us those beautiful regions of illusion which to the less imaginative would be other wise inaccessible. It may be, it has been, and unhappily comes to pass even now-a-days, but too frequently, that while conducing to our own amusement, they themselves ate masking some secret grief with their smiles, are shrouding some poignant suffering with n‘i affectation of merriment, and, as has been recog 'zAl in one or two cases which have accidentally come before the public knowledge, are throwing the , use into convulsions when their hearts are all but breaking. Our object at present is not to dilate upon these extreme casualties in the histrionic profession ; it is to draw attention more particularly to the inva riable assiduity with which the members of that profession sacrifice their own comfort and their noblest faculties for the advantage of the popu lation. Every evening, at the very period when most men and women are disposed to rest from the diurnal toils of existence--their labours may be said to begin in earnest. Not, how ever, that it must be supposed for an instant that the previous portions of the day have remained for them unoccupied. What with rehearsals, with studying their parts, and with the other duties of preparation, the morning and the afternoon glide away only to bring them the time of their principal occupation. 'Thus, for the majority, the chief rewards of a career —more than any other precarious—is the applause which nourishes them with an enervating excitement. Latterly it has become notorious that the theatrical profession—that portion of it at least which is devoted to what is vulgarly called the legitimate drama—has met with no encouragement adequate to its proper maintenance. A change in the popular taste, a preference for the more artificial entertainments, for the ornate beauties of the " opera," and the gorgeous appliances of mere " spectacle," has led, as every one knows, to the partial dethronement of the great kings of our dramatic literature. A country which can boast of a MASSINGER and a WYCHERLET, a FAR QUHAR, a JOHNSON, a FLETCHER, a BEAUMONT, an OTWAY, a CONGREVE, and a SHERIDAN, One, more over, which glories in the possession of that wonder ful man whose humble birth place has been for more than three centuries the objeot of reverential pilgrim age—can yet find a difficulty in supporting one of those great establishments in which their master pieces were formerly represented by the genius of a KEAN or a GARRICK, an O'NEIL or a SIDDONS, a COOKE or a KRMBLE. To say in extenuation of this evidence of popular degeneracy that the decay of the drama, of the legitimate drama, is attributable to want of histrionic ability, is to place cause and effect in their inverse positions; while, at the same time, it argues but a poor faculty for the appreciation of those indisputable talents, and, in one or two instances, of that unquestionable genius which still continue to adorn the stage and to impart a lustre to it even at a period regarded by some as preliminary to its dissolu tion. One circumstance in the matter under argu ment i 3, to ourselves, of all others the most incontro vertible; namely, that histrionic abilities are fostered and even created by a popular appetite for dramatic representations, more than that a passion for the stage is produced in the public mind by the appearance of distinguished =members of the profession. Of this the records of the drama afford surely sufficient testimony. It was in consequence of the popularity of our legitimate theatres during the last generation that at length a body of actors were assembled together more admi rable in their several departments, when regarded collectively, than any of their predecessors. At that tim9, when the stage had gradually ascended from its nadir to its zenith, the principal characters in a tragedy or a comedy were not only impersonated by actors and actresses of resplendent ability, but even the subordi nate characters were represented by individuals who, in their different walks, were justly rega r d e d as inimitable. While in the performance of the great woi ks of SnAksrEnE, Weil() for example, was realised in the form of that extraordinary genius whose acting was of sufficient intensity to throw Lord BYRON into a tit, and to excite the impassioned enthusiasm of COIARIDGE—CaIiban, in all his miraculous monstro sity, was witnessed in the person of EMERY, Fluellen in all his Cymrian stupidity, in that of BLANCHARD, Polonius, the blending of sage and antic, in that of IquNDEN, Mercutio in CUABLES KEMBLE, Gratiano in FARLEY, Launcelot in LisTax, and Prospero in YOUNG. Even the minor parts in an interlude, or the mere bystanders as it were in a farce, were fill_ d up by actors who in another age would each have been some " bright particular star," instead of being an almost unnoticed burr of light in a sort of nebulous constellation. Such were the effects of popular regard upon:the cultivation of the drama as a distinguished and intellectual profession. Yet, while remembering the number and variety of the public favourites in those palmy days of the histrionic art, it would be an absurdity to speak no w.a days of the drama as of a profession so far decayed as to be devoid of talent of a very superior description. Ex perience, on the contrary, assures us that, considering the little support, comparatively speaking, which is given to our legitimate theatres, they .are rich in those diversified abilities which are found requisite in the performance of either comedy or tragedy. Nor are the many brilliant actors and actresses of our own generation, now on the boards of the principal houses in the metropolis, the only powerful induce ments to the encouragement of their profession ; there are, moreover, still visibly connected with the theatres of London (either public or private) some of those most felicitous performers whose genius for the stage have long been the objects of deserved admiration.: Not to enumerate the surviving actors of the previous generation, such for instance as FARREN and HARLEY, it will be sufficient to refer as examples to two actresses of very eminent reputation, whose powers are still preserved in a kind of peren nial excellence, Mrs. GLOVER and Miss KELLY. To the latter we have unfortunately occasion to allude in that language of condolence to which she is entitled out of consideration for her pecuniary misfortunes. A. letter, addressed by Miss KELLY to one of our mornineontemporaries, will be found in another part of this evening's impression ; and we doubt not that it will be perused with that respectful attention always due to unmerited calamities. The appeal made by this gifted lady requires no enforcement from the pen of the journalist among those whose familiarity with her career has: enabled them to appreciate the purity of her reputation. With others it may be different ; and to them we would more particularly direct those hopes which we cannot but entertain, that after a life of toil, anxiety, and consistent perseverance, the woman whose very profession has elicited so many proofs of the exquisite sensibility of her most womanly temperament, the woman with whom so many have wept and laughed almost at a breath, and whose union of heart and intellect has not only amused but also ameliorated the dispositions of her auditors, should not be abandoned in a day of necessity to the miseries accruing from an unlucky speculation, and to the still greater miseries flowing from a conviction that no spark of friendship has been kindled among the crowd by the light of that intellect and the warmth of that sensibility in the evidences of which they have so often exulted. The public attention has already been strongly directed to the symptoms of disunion and insubordi nation manifested in the Protectionist camp. The orators who undertake the task of enlivening the bucolic fancy at the various meetings of the party no longer waste their eloquence or their indignation on the Free traders. Their own recognised leader, the only member of the popular branch of the Legislature in any degree qualified ,to guide their councils and direct their efforts, is the principal object of their abuse. The ♦ituperation that was formerly lavished on Mr. COBDEN is transferred to Mr. DISRAELI ; and as a greater degree of virulence is always excited in a family quarrel than in one among strangers, the reproaches and censures are more earnest and hearty than those bestowed upon the Free• traders during the late struggle. The various suggestions thrown out by the Hon. Member for Buckinghamshire since the prorogation of Parliament have in turn been attacked with the most vigorous determination. The propo sitions, which it was fondly hoPed would have been received with the warmest commendation, and served as rallying points for the defeated troops, have been despised, repudiated, and even ridiculed. " Protection," and nothing but " protection," will satisfy the agri cultural taste. The bitter pill cannot even be gilded, it must be swallowed in all its naked enormity. All the protestations of Mr. DISRAELI, with respect to his unflinching allegiance to the principle, and his fixed determination to labour for itsultimate restoration, are not sufficient to appease the malcontents, or to restore order or discipline. He has admitted the impractica bility of any immediate effort in that direction, and he has even ventured to bring forward objects as worthy of attainment, and he is therefore no longer worthy to lead his unruly co- horts. Sir GEORGE ROBINSON, Lord BRAYBROOKE, and a host of others, had already raised the standard of rebellion. But it was reserved for the meeting at Bromley, on Friday last, to exhibit in the clearest light the heterogeneous elements of which the so-called party is composed, and its utter disunion and want of coherence. We have it on the highest authority that " a house or a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand." What, then, can be expected or hoped for from the once formidable Protectionists ? On that day the agriculturists assembled in goodly numbers in the fair county of Kent. Not a town or village in the " garden of England" was unrepresented. The " eccentric Earl who believed in CASPER UAUSER, but who would not believe in Mr. DISRAELI," filled the chair. Mr. G. F. YOUNG, the unflinching champion of the navigation-laws, and Mr. Memiss attended on the invitation of the com mittee as a deputation from " The National Associa tion for the Protection of British Industry and Capital," and many a stalwart yeoman was prepared to uplift his voice, and cheer with the utmost strength of his lungs the anxious orators. From such an assembly much might have been expected. It was intended as an exhibition of strength—a demonstra tion that, although " worsted" they were not alto gether vanquished ; but that by unanimity and energy the contest might yet be prolonged, and fair terms eventually obtained from their antagonists. But, alas ! the vanity of human hopes and human wishes, a stronger illustration could not have been afforded of their complete and irretrievable discom• fiture, and of the disorganization that prevailed in their ranks. It proved at least that nothing is to be dreaded from the exertions of their mutinous and badly disciplined forces. The Noble Chairman opened the proceedings in the gloomy strain so agreeable to the agricultural taste. He declared that " their future prospects were far worse than their present situation, and that unless speedily and effectually remedied the most calamitous consequences must be expected, and that bankruptcy and beggary would extend throughout the length and breadth of this once happy and prosperous, but now ill-governed and ill-fated country." After this satis factory announcement, he cautioned his auditors against the folly of attempting to mend their position by "high farming," or raising a greater quantity of produce from their lands, and clearly pointed out the calamitous results that must necessarily follow from a sixfold increase of crops. " Take the case (said the Noble Earl) of a labOurer whose family required six loaves, but who was unfortunately able to buy but five. If the price were reduced from sixpence to one penny the loaf, of course he would provide himself with six loaves, but would be pur chase six times six, or thirty-six loaves ? Why, his family could not eat it, if they had it, and the labourer would purchase other articles of provision useful or necessary to him. The consumption would not be commensurate with the production !!!" After thus ex. citing the terror of his audience at the bare possibi lity of so deplorable a catastrophe as that the labourer should be enabled to obtain a sufficient num ber of loaves for his family, and even to purchase " other articles of provision useful or necessary to him " a possibility which naturally produced a feeling of horror in the assemblage—his Lordship made a furious onslaught on their recreant general. The equalization of the land tax, the first and most equitable suggestion to the meeting at Aylesbury, provoked Lis utmost wrath. lie would not be contented with the virtual abandonment of that fair and reasonable proposition. " There was no mistake, there could be no mistake," and Earl STANHOPE was re solved that " there should be no mistake." He said, " He knew it had been said by the . Honourable Gen tleman's friends that his first speech on this subject was misrepresented in the newspapers, but they all knew the fidelity and - accuracy with which the gen tlemen of the London press discharged their very la borious duties. As in other cases, there would be an occasional error; there might sometimes and necessa rily be omissions, but did anybody ever hear of a re. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 21, 1849.

Sambre and Meuse, 1%. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 14th and 15th con tain no political news of interest, and the proceed ings in the Senate were unimportant. It was believed that the Spanish troops would arrive from Italy before the end of the year. The Government had resolved that an electric telegraph should be esta bli►hed from Madrid to Aranjuez. The railway between those two places was about to be opened for traffic. _ _ _ Letters from Melilla, in the Madrid journals of the 15th, state that that fortress continued to be attacked by the Moors, but that the Spaniards had made a successful sortie, in which, however, they had five killed and twentpone wounded. MADRID BOLSA, Nov. M.—The Three per Cents. were done on the 14th at 231 for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 11+; the Five per Cents. at 11i; the Debt without Interest at 31, ; and the Coupons at 61. The prices of the 15th have not reached us, but a private letter states that the Three per Cents, closed at 28i for cash. GERMANY AND THE NORT HE RN STATES. CENTRAL GERMANY. The Council of Administration has fixed the 31st January as the day for the election of representatives to the Diet of the Federal State% and has decided that le Diet shall meet at Esfurth. The Archduke JOHN, Vicar of the Empire, intends to leave Frankfort in the course of the ensuing month, but it is said that he will not return to Vienna. PRUSSIA. According to the Cologne journals considerable excitement prevails at Berlin, and this is expected to be increased by the trial of M. WALDECK. There was a talk of the state of siege being re-established, and there were reports that a change, or modification, of the Ministry was not unlikely. A letter from Berlin of the 17th states that the Council of Ministers has resolved that the measures for the re-organization of the Duchy of Posen, and for the establishment of the line of demarcation between it and Germany, shall not be carried into effect for the present. The Emancipation of Brussels announces that the differences which had arisen between Prussia and Bavaria and Prussia and Saxony relative to the expenses of the military intervention of the former have been settled. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. An Austrian journal announces that it is proposed forthwith to reduce the import duties on raw metals to the level of those of the Zollvarein, that is 15 silber gross (about 37 sous) the quintal ; but that, with respect to zinc, it is intended to increase the duty to half a thaler per quintal, but in the Zollverein to reduce it to one thaler. _ _ _ The war contributions placed on the Jewish com munes in Hungary amounted to 2,000,000 florins (the florin is 2f. 59c.) ; but, as some of them are unable to pay, it has been ordered that all the communes in the kingdom, except those of Presburg and Temeswar, shall join in raising the amount. SWITZERLAND. The Federal Assembly of Switzerland, on the 15th, discussed the Bill on military organization. Article 1, enacting that every Swiss shall be bound to do military service, was adopted without discussion • but article 2, which fixes the age at which a man is liable to, serve led to a long debate, and it was resolved that from 17 to 50 every Swiss can be called into military service. RUSSSIA AND CIRCASSIA. Reports baying been current that negotiations for peace between the Russians and Circassians had been entered into, the Berlin State Gazette says that this is true, and that Russia offered to the Circassians to cede them all the fortresses except those of Anasa and Surum Rale, and to guarantee their independence, provided they would recognise the protectorate of Russia and allow recruits to be levied in their territories. The Circassians refused these conditions, and sent five agents to Constantinople to ask for advice from the Turkish Government. These agents state that SCHAMYL has sent emissaries to all parts of Crimea and Tartary to cause a general rising. TURKEY. The Wiener Zeitung has letters from Widdin of the 4th instant, stating that the Hungarian and Polish refugees have been transported from Widdin to Shumla. The first transport consisted of 400 Poles, who left Widdin on the 30th of October under the leadership of the ex-General BEM, now MURAT PASHA, and accompanied by MESSAROS and Count VAT. On the 31st of October another transport of 102 Italians took the road to Shumla. 16 rene gades, commanded by General STEIN, now l'EnitaD PASHA, and KMETTI, now KIAMIL PASHA, followed on the Ist of November, and on the 3d the Mag yars left their first place of refuge and cap tivity on Ottoman soil. They mustered to the strength of 320 men, and were led by M. Kossurn in person, and by M. BALOGH. Count KASIMIR BATTLIYANY, the two PERCZELS, and M. PRZYJEMSRT, a Pole, and 40 women accompanied M. KOSSUTH'S party. The Countess BATIHYANT and the ex-Councillor HAY• MANN followed in Count BATTIIYANT'S carriage. ITALY. The sitting of the 15th of the Chamber of Deputies of Turin, was entirely taken up with the continua tion of the debate on the treaty of peace with Austria. The Minister of Foreign Affairs incidentally gave some explanations concerning a portion of the park of heavy artillery belonging to Piedmont, and still detained at Peschiera by the Austrian Government, and stated that M. SEISSEL had set out from Turin that very morning to obtain its restitution. The general discussion was then closed, and two amend ments moved—one by M. MELLANA, declaring that the natives of the provinces lately annexed to Piedmont, and still settled within the Piedmontese territory, should enjoy the rights of citizenship; and the other by M. TORELLI, worded as follows :—" The Chamber, declaring the validity of the principles .)which determined the nation to have recourse to *ms, accepts the treaty of Milan of the 6th August, 1849, as an inevitable necessity. It takes note of the 'declaration of the Ministry, that there are no secret twaties with Austria, and that, should any ;exist, they shall not be enforced ; as also, that the treaty of extradition of 6th June, 1838, cannot be extended to political refugees, and shall not be enforced, in so far as it may be contrary to our Constitution. It further takes note of the promise of the Ministry, that notice shall be given to Austria in due time of the expiration of the Convention of the 4th October, 1834, within two years." The discussion was adjourned to the following day. The Statuto quotes a letter from Rome of the 9th, stating, on the authority of Cardinal MAccur, that the POPE has concluded a loan of four millions and a half of scudi (23k millions of francs) at 84 per cent. The Nazionale states that Monsignor ORSINI, who returned to Rome on the 9th from Portici, has declared that the Pore has renounced all idea of returning to Rome for the present, and that he will not return at all events until he has consulted the King of NAPLES on the subject. The Triumvirate of Cardinals has called in the paper money of the Republic, and has issued a paper currency of its own, payable " when there may be funds in the treasury for its liquida tion." This certainly is a cool trick on the part of those who arrogate to themselves exclusively the title of friends of order, credit, and property. It is said that Cardinal ANTONELLI has resigned, and that the Pore has nominated Cardinal DELLA GENZA as his suc cessor. DELLA GENZA is even more bigotted and more reactionary than ANTONELLI, and possesses not one-tenth of his talent. We learn from the Venice Gazette of the 13th that the court-martial having condemned a Venetian to death, and another to two years' carcere duro (the strictest kind of imprisonment), for having had stilettos in their possession, General GORKOWSKI com muted their punishment into three months and six weeks respectively of political arrest. By a proclama tion of his, of the above date, the inhabitants of Venice have been once more warned to give up all their arms within 48 hours, after which period no more clemency will be shown to delinquents. EXPOSITION OF MANUFACTURES —BIRMINGHAM, TUISDAY.—The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of Lon don and Sheriffs, accompanied by Sir James Duke and other gentlemen from the metropolis, have signified their intention of visiting the Exposition of Manufac tures and Art, at Bingley-house, in this town, to-day (Wednesday). The visit is understood to be private. SHIPWRECKED FISHERMEN AND MARINERS' BENE VOLENT Soca:Tr.—Yesterday the treasurer of the above institution received a munificent dentition of 2001. from an anonymous individual, under the signature of "E. 8.," to be applied, according to the wish of the generous donor, to the relief of the widows and orphans of seamen who have died of the cholera. porter for a newspaper inventing a whole speech, with a long array of figures ? That excuse, therefore, would not avail him, and be (Earl STANHOPE) pinned him down to the first speech." Poor Mr. DISRAELI, WS all in vain—you are pledged to the general equalization and more equitable distribution of the land-tax, and Lord STANHOPE is resolved that you shall not evade the selfassumed responsibility. You must go on, and we can only say, we most heartily pray that success may attend your exertions in that respect. After having thus castigated his chief, the Noble Earl explained the folly of those who exhibited " an ignorant impatience of taxation," or deluded them selves with the notion that " any paltry remission of taxes, such as the abolition of the malt and hop duties, would give effectual or substantial relief." Nothing but a " restoration of protection—a full and effectual protection to every branch of British industry, whether at home or in the colonies—whether on Bri tish soil or on the ocean, upon which Great Britain rode supreme" would answer. His Lordship con cluded by an expression of the most perfect want of confidence in, or respect for, the House of Commons. that would have delighted the most strenuous advocate of Parliamentary reform. He asked, "Was the House of Commons elected, in part even, by those whose interests were so much at stake—the labouring classes ? Did it express the opinions of the pro ductive classes ? Was not party spirit predominant in that assembly ? Had any of its decisions been patriotic or profitable to the community ?" and after giving the strongest negative to these several interro gations, declared that "no hope could be entertained that the House of Commons would pursue a different course, unless it should be compelled to do so by a powerful popular movement—by what was termed the pressure from without." The en thusiastic and rapturous applause elicited by these declarations might have led a by stander to suppose that he was attending a meeting of the " Metropolitan Parliamentary Reform Associa on," calling for the establishment of household suf- frage, the vote by ballot, triennial Parliaments, and the equalization of the electoral districts, and not an assembly convened for the purpose of resuscitating monopoly, and imposing taxes on the poor man's food for the benefit of a privileged class. No part of the proceedings was so loudly and universally applauded. 'We trust that the constituency of 'West Kent may Lnstruct their Representatives to sustain by their votes in Parliament the measures on which they bestowed so unqualified an approval. We shall venture to remind them, on a fitting opportunity, of their recent demonstration, and,: to use the language of their Noble Chairman, " to pin them . down" to their recent expressions. Mr. PAUL FOSKETT followed in a similar strain, repudiating the leadership of the Hon. Member for Buckinghamshire, while Mr. G. F. YOUNG attacked every one of his propositions in detail, and denounced with equal energy the plans for the establishment of a " sinking fund," the " equalization of the land-tax," and the " transfer of the local burdens to the national Exchequer," and declared that " the fact was that Mr. DISRAELI was following an ignis faluus, and mislead ing them from the real point to which they should bend all their efforts, and from which alone they could expect solid and substantial relief." We really pity the Honourable Gentleman. What can he hope to accomplish with 'such mutinous and ill-disciplined troops ? He should no longer waste his unquestionable powers in such a cause. He should refuse " to march through Coventry" with the ragged regiment. Let him no longer endeavour to please those who will not be satisfied or contented, or "listen to the voice of the 'charmer, charm he never so wisely." But let him, carry out his own just and equitable suggestions, and labour for what would really bestow " equal taxation and cheap capital," without seeking to gratify his headstrong party. Thus will he become a benefactor to his country, and receive the blessings of the people in place of the cheers of a discontented and rebellious faction. ruE FRENCH REP ÜBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur contains a decree, signed by the PRESIDENT of the Republic, dismis4ing PIERRE BONAPARTE, who was Leiutenant-Colonel in the African Foreign Legion, from the service, for having returned to France, when on a mission, without the orders or permission of his superior. The various modifications proposed in the combina tion laws, were rejected on Monday by the National Assembly, and those laws therefore still remain to ham per the manufacturers, and,to press most unjustly on the operatives of France; for while the first are punish able only if they combine unjustly and abusively, it being left to the magistrate to determine in each particular in what injustice or abuse consists, all combination on the part of the workmen is abso lutely prohibited and punished as a crime. Thus whilst the law is on the face of it unjust to the workmen, it is a snare as regards the masters, who can never by any possibility guess at the meaning which any par ticular magistrate may apply to the terms unjustly and abusively, and who consequently can never know whether or not any particular combination into which they may enter is or is not a breach of the law. All these anomalies - would have been got rid of by the adoption of the proposition of M. Moum for render ing all peaceful combinations legal, and punishing only those who had recourse to threats and violence, or by applying the same rule, as was proposed by M. WoLowsitr, to both masters and workmen. The manifest justice and fairness of these propositions were however, quite sufficient to secure their rejection by an Assembly in wich the parti pretre and the Legiti matists command a majority, and we are not surprised, therefore, that the Assembly rejected them, a n d de termined to conserve the old darling injustice. It appears that the Monarchical plotters who, during the summer of 1848, made Richmond the focus of their reactionary intrigues, have removed their head quarters to Paris. We yesterday announced the arrival of M. GUIZOT in the French capital ; we now announce the arrival there of his inseparable, the TALLEYRAND in petticoats, the Princess LIEVEN, who gave a grand reception on Sunday evening, which was attended by M. GUIZOT, General CIIANGARNIER, Count MoLE, and M. BERETER, who thus assembled to do honour to the female friend of the CZAR and the woman flogger. GUIZOT and MOLE shook hands and conversed together for the first time for many years—PEAcEUM and LOCKIT again. MM. De Dampierre, Estancelin, Lemeslier, De Ladelaussage, Cholla, Richard de Charancey, Flaudin, Ramond, I'aul de Kendrel, General Tartea de Gram mont, De Mortemail, and De Vavin, have been named Commissioners to examine the propositions of MM.- Flaudin and Durand Savoyat relative to the stud of horses at Saint Cloud. The Avignon and Marseilles Railway Bill has been passed by a majority of 337 to 187. The Prefect of Police, M. CARLIER, has prohibited all music and dancing in cafes which have not obtained a special licence from the Prefecture of Po lice for that purpose. The Siecle has an article on the subject of the Turkish question, in which it seeks to prove that the CZAR, in his proceedings in thataffair, was actuated by a wish to cause embarrassment to France. " The Emperor Nicholas," says that journal, " de clared that the treaty gave him the right of demanding either the extradition or the expulsion en the Polish re fugees in Turkey; but in deference to the Sultan he would only demand the latter of those rights. Only (added the Czar), I demand, in return for that conces ston, that all the Poles in the states of the Sultan shall be expelled.' In order to judge of the be a ring of thi s demand, it must be explained that all the Polish refu gees in Turkey are living there under French passports, and that they have made positions for themselves which they could not abandon. Thus the Czar, by making the demand, placed the French Ambas,ador foremost in the ranks of resistance, instead of Sir Stratford Canning— that is to say, the French Cabinet instead of the English one." Considerable excitement prevailed in the neigh bourhood of the Palais de Justice on Monday, in consequence of a report that the names of LEDAU ROLLIN and his companions condemned par cantumace would on that day be exposed on the pillory. Several of the supporters of the condemned were on the ground, with wreaths of immortels and bouquets of flowers, prepared to turn the intended insult into an occasion of triumph. The Government, however, more wise than the judges, determined to spare itself the disgrace of taking part in an odious exhibition ; the names were not exposed, and the peace was pre served, thanks to the good sense of the authorities. M. DE I:EiPINASSE has presented to the Assembly the following proposition relative to elections : " Art. L Fur the future, all elections resulting from universal suffrage shall take place in the commune. Art. 2. The municipal authorities, with the authorisa tion of the Prefect, can divide the election into as many sections as may seem advisable, without, how ever, even having more than 500 electors iu any one section. In communes where the electors shall not be 500 in number, there shall be but one section. Art. 3, Every elector regularly registered who shall, without legitimate motive, not have given his vote, shall be punished by a fine of If. to 10f. A second offence shall be punished with a fine of from 10f. to .50f.; and for a third one, a citizen shall be deprived of his civil rights for a space of from two to five years. Art; 4, The bureitx presiding over the electoral proceedings shall award the fine, and shall decide on the validity of the excusea given. Art. 5. The produce of such fines shall be giv to to the commune in which the election takes place." IBOURSE.—PARis, Nov. 20. THREE o"CLocK.—The Funds were steady to day; with a strong tendency to a rise.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton ati Liverp , o 1 yesterday were esti mated at 3,000 bales, 1,200 of which were taken on spe culation.. The market was very quiet, and prices were lower as' compared with Friday's rates, American 4d. to id. cheeper, and Brazil and Egyptian id. Other sorts remain without alteration.—ln Railway Shares very little was done, and prices were a shade lower. There is no alteration in the Corn market to-day, the arrivals of foreign grain, however, being much I irger. The advicss from abroad are not of general interest, but we learn from Amsterdam that a fair business was doing on Monday in Mech. Bonds, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being 53 7-16. Spanish Three per Cents. were 26 13-16. The Overland letters from India may be accounted as favourable. Ease in the money markets of Cal cutta and Bombay was the prevailing feature, and some dulness existed in trade in consequence of the holidays. When these were over, however, it was expected that there would be some activity. The China market was likewise rather brisker, but it is useless to deny that the utmost caution is requisite in order to avoid most serious losses. The supply of' fabrics at Canton and the other ports is evidently in excess of the demasd, and there can be no satisfactory result until this state of things is altered. Altogether our relations political and commercial with the Celestial Empire have by no means settled down upon the amicable and pros perous basis at first anticipated. The Stock Market is in a most buoyant condition this morning, and there is a rise of 4 to per cent. upon the highest quotations of yesterday. This is in the absence of any particular news, but from the impression which obtains that the Bank of England must afford accommodation upon reduced terms to par ties desiring loans upon good security. In a private way this :may very likely be done, as the Bank can hardly expect to get its minimum charge of 3 per cent., when facilities are elsewhere afforded at 24 to 24, but any public notification that the said minimum is arbitrarily reduced would probably do more harm than good. It would create an erroneous idea of unbounded confidence and pros perity, foster the cotton speculation, which at present seems to be upon the wane, and render exports of bullion to the Continent, where a higher rate of interest is offered by the needy Governments, extremely probable, despite the recent caution exhibited by non-participation in foreign loans. These and other evils would be the possible result, and the Bank directors, we trust, are sensible thereof. That a small impulse, however, is adequate to excite extravagant expectation we may judge by past experience and by the fact that there are said to have been already bets offered of 5 to 1 that Consols will be marked at par in the official list early next year. Now -would be the fitting opportunity for the railway com panies, could they show "a clean bill," to seek an extri cation from their difficulties, and profit by the plentiful supply of cash in the renewal of their debentures; but whether they will be enabled to do so, we can scarcely say. Consols have, been marked 94 and 94g for Trans fer, and 944 to 944 for Account, being now 9411. The New Three. and• a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 934 to 94, and the Three per Cents. 924 to 93i. India Stock remains at 258. Exchequer-bills are a shade lower, being 48s. to 505., and India Bonds are 82s. premium. A good deal of business has been dune in Spanish Bonds with the dividends of 1843 to 1848, the prices ranging from 114 to 94. The Passive Steck is at 35, and the Three per Cents. have risen to 364. Mexican are firm at 264 to 27. Peruvian are 52. Russian have touched 109. Dutch Four per Cents are 825 I. Shares, though dull, appear to be rather on the turn towards a better position. Under the provisions of the Act 12 and 13 Vic., cap. 80, passed on the let of August last, the Legisla ture has disallowed the usual per-centage upon all stamps over 10/. in value. It has, therefore, been de termined by the trade generally to charge for stamps of 121. the additional sum of 2s. 6d. The matter was represented to, and approved by the committee of the Stuck Exchange at their sitting on the 12th inst. 131t1T18L1 FUNDS Tins DAY AT-ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) '3 per Cent.

CORN-EXCHAN UE-WEDNESDAY Although our market to-day was but moderately sup plied with all kinds of English Wheat, the demand for that article was in a very depressed state, owing to the large arrivals from abroad, at almost nominal curren cies. Upwards of 18,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come in this week. Fine parcels were mostly held at full prices; but all other kinds ruled dull in the ex mine. The supply of English Barley was small, that of foreign large, viz , 14.560 quarters. The transac tions were wholly in retail, at Monday's quotations. Malt ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. The show of Oats was on the inert ase. Selected samples sold at full prices, but damp and inferior qualities were 6rl. lower. Beans, Peas, and Flour very dull. Indian Corn is lower.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) NORTH V. MORLEL—JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, which came before his Lordship some time since, upon appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chan cellor Wigram. His Lordship affirmed the judgment of the Court below, and dismissed the appeal with costs. The case involved no question or facts of any interest, xcept to the parties concerned. LORD ALYANLEY v. LORD KINNAIRD.—JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this case, which was heard before his Lordship some time since, upon appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chan cellor of England, directing a resale of certain property in the county of Chester. The case came before the Vice - Chancellor of England under the following circumstances :—Certain property belonging to Lord Alvanley had been directed to be sold by a decree of this court, 1842. The estates included the manor of Bredbury, in the county of Chester, and which was decsribed in the particulars of sale as the " manor of Bredbury-cum-Goit, including all rights, roy alties, liberties, privileges, and advantages." There were certain estates called the Highfield Estate, which had originally formed part of the demesne lands, but had been sold separately, reserving the mines. The manor itself, described as lot 1, was purchased at the sale for 721. by a Mr. Ferns, as agent for Mr. Josiah Howard, the son of the lessee of a large part of the estate. There was a good deal of conflicting testimony as to what was actually said at the time of the sale—the vendors contending that it was distinctly explained that the manor included nearly 61. a year rents, with the right of appointing a game keeper and a sexton. The purchaser, on the other side, contended that he believed that he was purchasing the right to the mines, and that nothing had been said et the sale of any reservation being intended to be made. Subsequently the purchaser carried a conveyance into the Master's office, by which the mines were to be con veyed; but the vendors refused to execute it, and ins' mediately presented a petition, alleging that it was never intended to pass the mines, and that Mr. Ferns, who had been a receiver of the estate under the trustees. was aware of the fact, and praying that the Court would direct such a conveyance us would except the mines, and that the petitioner might be directed to pa/ the costs. The Vice-Chancellor of England, on the case coming before him, directed a resale, and front that decision the present appeal was brought. The Lord Chancellor, atter going at considerable length into the case, stated his opinion to be that the purchaser we entitled to lot 1, exclusive of the mines, but that no de' tree for a specific performance of the purchase could b° pronounced against him. His Lordship would, there' tore, discharge the order of the Vice• Chancellor of Bog; land, giving the purchaser the option of taking the boo without the mines. IN THE MATTER OF DICESON. In this case Mr. Dickson appeared iu person to asig for the judgment of the Court. Our readers will .recol' lest, no doubt, the facts of the case. Mr. Dickson is di , trader in the city of Dublin, and he alleg e ! that with respect to a spirit licence obtain from the Excise, 16s. 6id. beyond the ler, Exci se demand was exacted from him by the Ex officers; and as between 30,000 and 40,000 of the trades' usi-n of Dublin were similarly circumstanced, it wet determined to try the question at law. Mr. Dickson se* cordiogly instituted proceedings in the Irish Court of Exchequer for the recovery of the alleged excess, but he was nousuited, on the ground of his having neglected to bring his action within the statutory period. He there upcn presented a petition of right to her Majesty' praying for a commission of inquiry into the matter , and the matter was referred to the Lord Chancellor t° do right between Mr. Dickson and the Crown. Wbe l : the application for the issuing of the commission ca lla before his Lordship, the Attorney. General (although b° had previously consented to pay the amount clairOeti) opposed it, on the ground that it would be beneath al dignity of the Court to entertain jurisdiction in a matt er of such trifling importance as a claim of 16s. 6id. matter was then ordered to stand over until his Liar ship had Cully considered the case. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would look into tb ° papers and dispose of the matter on an early day. ,d Mr. Dickson said that perhaps his Lordship wo n, dispose of the case some day next week. The LORD CHANCELLOR could not enter into 11 , 1 1 compact with Mr. Dickson as to the time he would ga r judgment, the amount was small, but he would look e ve r the papers and dispose of it as scon as he could. aad Mr. Dickson said that many thousands depen% upon his Lordship's decision. He had come from 3 911 4 . 0 lin, a distance of upwards of 300 miles to ask Lordship for his judgment, and he 00 10 0 that his Lordship would pronounce his decision 00 0 early day. " The LORD CHANCELLOR promised to give his bFl t attention to the case, and dispose of it as soon as m l other duties would permit him. Mr. Dickson, after thanking the Court, withdrew. SCARF V.
