The French EMPEROR is a man of so much judgment and acts so very warily in all he does that his words possess double the meaning which they otherwise would from his high position and influence. The letter which his Majesty has ad dressed to the Minister of State, and which bears date from the Palace of the Tuileries, January 19, is therefore certain to attract interest and attention, and more especially so as it relates to Reforms in France. Ever since the period when the present EMPEROR assumed his present responsible duties this has been a very vexed question indeed, and yet all the ardent expectations that the lovers of liberty have formed have been doomed to disappointment in a great measure, if not entirely, while irritation and indignation have hardly re strained themselves in strict limits in many direc tions. It seems, then, high time that some change should be made, and that the general progress of men's minds should be allowed a more full and free development than they can ever hope to gain under the present regime. The letter in question com mences by considering whether or not the institu tions of France have reached the " limit of improve ment," or if they are to have new improvements. Until now the Minister has had enough to do in silencing " inopportune" demands, while for the EMPEROR has been reserved the task of initiating such reforms as necessity should demand. He now considers that the moment has arrived for giving a new extension to public liberties without interfering with the power intrusted to him by the nation, and also that it will be expedient to let the institu tions of the Empire become fully developed. No one can deny that the French EMPEROR is a master of composition, and that he seizes adroitly upon the very expressions and phrases which may best suit the case be fore him, and serve to illustrate his meaning. Thus he remarks that to " govern is to profit by the experience of what has been acquired, and to foresee the wants of the future." Like many other philosophical politicians he does not always succeed in putting his precepts into practice, but at the same time his language is full of point, and might be copied with advantage by any one in his position as a guide to others, and an exponent of their own intentions. The decree of the 24th No vember, 1860, is said to have been intended to associate more closely with the Government the Senate and the Corps Legislatif, but the desired end has not been answered by the debates which have been held on the address, for the consequence has been that public opinion has been needlessly excited, and a loss of time occasioned to the affairs of the country. Therefore it is now deemed advis able to substitute for this the privilege of putting questions to the Government. While we think that some great advantages may probably accrue to the French people from these proposed changes, we may well pause to consider the great difference that exists between the customs of England and France, and wonder at the absurdity of those who are always ranking other countries higher tha n our own, an d confuse the r i a effect ted. vv until w would u h ledy Mr.ancdausuneinfiot ignorantmistaking say if it was a question with us whether or not there might be a debate on the Address, andif all questions put to Government must be " inctually regulated ?" It is also intended, says this letter, that the Minister should be sent to the Senate, and the Corps Legi.slatif to take part in certain debates, and this by virtue of a special commission. It ap pears that the Constitution does not admit o f any "solidarity" among the Ministers, but makes them dependent upon the chief of the State only. The most important change indicated, however, is that relating to the Press. A law is to be pro posed for the purpose of " assigning the jurisdic tion over offences against the press law exclusively to the Correctional Tribunals, and thus suppress the discretionary power of the Government." It is also intended to regulate legislatively the right of assembly, while restraining it within those limits which public safety demands. The EMPEROR con cludes his impressive letter by declaring that he said last year that his Government de sired to walk upon ground consolidated and capable of sustaining power and liberty. " By the measures I have just pointed out," adds he, "my words become realised. I do not shake the ground which fifteen years of calm and prosperity have consolidated, but I increase the strength by render ing my relation with the great public powers more intimate by securing to the citizen by law fresh guarantees by completing the crowning of the edifice erected by the national will." While it is impossible as yet to judge very definitely as to the nature of the proposed altera tion, it is in all probability to be expected that they will be received at present with satisfaction, and that further on they may be found to have conduced to the national progress and pro sperity. The laws which have ratricted the press have been most vexatious and irksome, and as all the obstructive policy has been carried on by Go vernment, it has of course had the odium of being most directly connected and concerned with the oppression. Under the new order of things it may be possible for a better state of feeling to exist, and for more general improvements to be carried out in the workings of the laws. We hope and trust that this may prove only the foreshadowing of more extensive and comprehensive reforms, and that the EMPEROR, having begun the work, will not slacken his efforts, but go on in his praiseworthy endeavours. The French people have many things to contend against, and in some respects the stern decrees of past years may have been beneficial in keeping back those who seek to interfere with the peace of the country. We think, however, that it is high time for some alteration to be made, and for more con fidence to be reposed in the nation at large. The EMPEROR'S power is not so secure, and his Govern ment, to use his own term, is not so " consolidated" that surely he might in all safety be more advanced in his views, and more liberal in his policy. It will be all the more desirable for such a beneficial course to be pursued, because the state of Germany is very significant, and it will never do for the Emperor NAPOLEON to allow it to be said that the Prussians have stolen a march upon him, and are even in name more advanced in national progress and development. With one thing and another this last year has not been a favourable one for France, and no one can better feel this than the EMPEROR ; but he may more than redeem the drawback of the past if he now inaugurate a Liberal poliey,which, as time goes on, will increase in strength and win the respect and confidence of the people. The news which the Atlantic Telegraph transmits t 5 *s, bearing date January 18th, is of the briefest possible extent, but it is, nevertheless, highly impor tant. " The Supreme Court," so runs the message, "has decided that the test oathis unconstitutional." This is a most significant step, and it confirms Mr. JOHNSON'S anticipations of the support which he would receive from the judicial authorities. It is a severe blow to the Radical party, and deprives them of many of their most specious pretexts. It remains to be seen what step will be next taken by the dominant party. If their own proceedings are declared upon unquestionable authority to be unconstitutional they can hardly censure the PRESIDENT for having refused to endorse them. The illegality of legislating in the name of the United States, without any reference whatever to the wishes of eleven of those States, has always been apparent to unprejudiced observers. Even supposing the proceedings of Congress had been in accordance with the tone and temper of American legislation, it would have been unconstitutional and unjust; but when the Radicals boldly and openly endeavoured to rule a large proportion of the great free country by force, it was quite evident that all respect for consti tutional law and for the safeguards of national liberty was gone, and that the people had nothing to look for from those who should have been the best guar dians of their rights. President JOHNSON long ago declared that the roa d upon w hi c h th e R a di cals were entering would lead to centralisation and tyranny. At that time he was in more favour with the party who elected him, but he did not fail to perceive the dangers which threatened the States through their means. Some of the motions which Mr. JOHNSON most strenuously resisted tended, as he pointed out at the time, to the increase of his own power, and, therefore, to a curtailment of the rights of the people. The subsequent conduct of the Radical party, both in and out of Congress, has fully con firmed his opinion, and they have made it only too manifest that the liberties of the people are their last thought. What steps the leaders of the party will think fit to take under this rebuff is as yet un certain. They can hardly proclaim their indiffe rence alike to the Constitution and the Supreme Court ; if they do they will be showing very plainly how little they are to be trusted, and to what dan gerous lengths they will hFry their followers if still supported. The annual meeting of the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce was held on Friday last, and the pro ceedings de r i ve d some i nterest from the presence of theborough w hohad amember, gone d() down Mr.n n BucK. purpose ROEB UCK- t in the:meeting, was elected an honorary member of the Chamber, and received a vote of thanks from his constituents for his constant attention to their affairs. The trade of Sheffield, however, is im portant and interesting enough to attract the atten tion of those not so immediately connected with the town, and the various commercial questions of the day were brought upfor consideration in the report. Stretching beyond the actual condition of prices and markets, the report entered upon a wider range, the wond er f u l l i nks reßntyly di scordant agencies, and dismissed the possible and probable effects of the great political changes of the ti me upon the of Germany, th e political impo r t ant part of Shef field industry unite tr o ey f t h conventionst e h m e ir o st t o a NN p • p n a . of the s t ee l alone ex portedrivalries of America, exercise their influence on the manufacturers and factory hands o f Sh effield. The Amerl d i b e last year was more than £700 , 0 00. During u a s n i e t e r s a s d ; e fot the m e s v a a l v u e e ry the last three:years the exports of all kinds have been constantly increasing, having risen from £782,226 in 1864 to £1,545,878 last year. It is therefore very much to be lamented that the protectionist policy of America threatens such evil to the trade of Sheffield. Mr. ROEBUCK, as a staunch Free Trader, spoke strongly of the evils of the protective system followed in most countries. The Canadians are happily making a move in the right direction. Mr. ROEBUCK, amid the laughter of his audience, declared his belief that there would be, in conse quence, so large a smuggling trade to Canada to escape the protective tariffs of America that Shef field would ultimately benefit. As for America itself, Mr. ROEBUCK said, truly enough, that it was not simply the desire for protection which brought about the tariff. " There are many parties in that country, and every party fights for their assistance. There are large bodies of men who want protection, and in order to gain their help as party men protection is established throughout the United States." Of the Canadians Mr. ROEBUCK spoke strongly and some what harshly, though having passed a good many years in Canada perhaps he thinks he has a right to criticise them as a countryman. We cannot agree with him that England has no earthly benefit from her colonies except the due which she might derive from them as reci pients of her manufactures," which, according to his showing, they have done their best to exclude. A large proportion of our trade is with our depen dencies, while the politicians who are continually declaring that England would be as well without her colonies appear to forget that such an opinion is entirely a matter of theory, since England when she had no colonies was very different from what she is now. Her colonies have helped to make her what she is, and they help her now to preserve her position as a first-rate power. Austria, as might be expected, comes very low in the list of Sheffield customers, being actually the thirty-fif th. But the President of the Chamber declared his conviction that the educated classes ofAustria were for free trade, and we may hope that the recent changes intro duced into her commercial policy are only preludes to a thorough revision of their statutes. Mr. ROE BUCK, in speaking on this subject, very sensibly said that free trade was all-important for Austria and would be one means of keeping the Empire together. " The largest portions of Austrian ter ritory are producers of raw produce. They want cheap manufactures, and the best thing the HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. t xi s DAY.—Merning, 2h. 24m.—Afternoon, 2h. 50m. ra-Molutow.-Morning, 3h. 15m.—Afternoon, 3h. 31m.

Mr. ROEBUCK entered at some length upon the Bankruptcy Law, which he declared stood in great need of thorough change altogether. The meeting was an interesting one, and very sug gestive of many important and much-needed re forms. In reference to the trade of Sheffield, we may mention that it was estimated the recent strike in the file trade has cost the town £200,000. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA.

There was only a limited inquiry for barley, oats, beans, peas, and flour; neverthess, the quotations ruled firm. Tho Continental markets have continued steady for wheat, at full prices. At New York the value of both wheat and flour continue very high. Tho supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was small, and the samples on the stands almost wholly repre sented produce forwarded by rail. Millers showed no disposition to effect sales; hence but little business was done. The tone of the market, however, was firm, and the quotations must be considered quite as high as on Menday last. FRANCE. PARIS, Jan. 20 (Evening). All the Ministers placed their resignation in the hands of the Emperor yesterday. M. Rouher retains hip functions as Minister of State, and is, moreover, appointed Minister of Finance, in place of M. Fould, whose resignation is accepted. Marshal Niel is appointed Minister of War. Admiral Rigauld de Genouilly is named Minister of Marine, and M. de Forcade la Roquette Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works. M. Bettie, who held the latter post, has been made Senator and Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. The Emperor has not accepted the resignation of the Ministers of State, Justice, the Imperial Household, Public Instruction, Interior, or Foreign Affairs, nor that of the Minister President of the Council of State ; and these Ministers, therefore, retain their respective portfolioes• LITERATURE. Scott's Poetical Works. Complete, in One Volume. Pp. 559. Macmillan and Co. As a companion to the one-volumed " Globe Edition," as it is called, of Shakspere, published not long since by Macmillan of London and Cambridge, we have here the whole of the Poetical Works of Sir Walter Scott, Baronet of Abbotsford—the Shaks pere, the Moore, the Boccaccio of Scotland. A more comprehensive collection of the metrical productions of the true Wizard of the North, of the Great Un known, of the Author of Waverley, of the Minstrel of the Scottish Borders, of the Illustrator of Scot tish humour, of Scottish heroism, of Scottish His tory, and of Scottish Life and Manners, alike ancient, modern, and mediaeval, has never yet been pub lished in a form so compact and beautiful. Every thing worthy of taking rank as among the Poetical Works of Walter Scott, the reader will here find. From his lengthier masterpieces " The Lady of the Lake," and " Martnion," and the " The Lay of the Last Minstrel"—from " The Vision of Don Roderick," and " Rokeby," and " The Lord of the Isles"—from " The Bridal of Triermain," and " Harold the Dauntless," and " The Field of Waterloo"—through all the seven Ballads translated or imitated by Sir Walter from the German, including among them Gothe's " Erl King" and Burger's •' Leonora"—down to the brief es t of his own original Ballads, his Songs from the No vels, and his Songs from the Plays and Minor Poems —definable these latter only under thevague heading of Poems of aMiscellaneous Character. Among these last however—such world-famous pieces as Helvellyn, and Wandering Willie, and Macgregor's Gathering, and Jock of Hazeldean ! There are poems here in this volume—yet who - needs be told this ?—that are just peerless, priceless, matchless in their way ! Young Lochinvar, for example—that daintiest of love ballads, moving, in the elastic rhythm of it, to the step of the gay galliard, and ending with a bound into the saddle preparatory to the well-re membe:ed gallop into an elopement Or, there is Bonny Dundee, again, that most inspiriting of war songs, at the clanging chorus of which who is there but is ready to draw sword, and shake bridle, and snap pistol at the beck of Claverhouse? A worthier com panion volume to the Glc.be Shakspere the Messrs. Macmillan could not well have devised than this charming gathering together of the Poems, Songs, and Ballads of the great Sir Walter of Abbotsford. A NEW YEAR'S STORY.—Under the title of " A Girl at a Railway Junction's Reply" [every one will know to what!] has within these last few days made its appearance as from the hand of " Lyulph." As a good-humoured literary skit --occasionally verging, as Mr. Brass might express it, upon the confines of impertinence—the tale is prettily told, here and there, too, with a sense of the humorous that in its way is really delightful. Lamps reappears as Grease. His immortal " rounder" (of lubrica tion to head and face)—comes back to us (with the gloss off it as a phrase) as a " header." Barbox Brothers reappears (absurdly) as Bandbox Bother. Lamp's invalid daughter gets transformed here into Grease's gouty-legged mother. And Polly?—well, Polly becomes transmogrified into a fearful sharp little "gal," by name Duddy—a creature with red hair and a dirty pinafore—who thus:evidences her pre cocity after dinner when playing cards with Band box Bother and the landlord, and Duddy's own particular partner " Dummy :" "How much do we play for, landlord ?" inquired Band box. Whatever you please, sir—twopenny points, if you like." "Don't be shabby," interposed Duddy, passing the cards from one hand to the other in a shower, like a conjuror. "Let's have sixpenny points and short whist." The landlord and Bandbox could hardly help laughing at this innocent precocity of the child. "I'll trouble you to lond mo four shillings to mark with, Bandbox," exclaimed Duddy, getting quito familiar, " and to pay my shot if I lose, you know." The landlord frowned, but Bandbox laughed heartily, at the simplicity, and gave her four shillings, and an odd one for luck, as he facetiously said, which Duddy at once spat upon, and jerked into the air, a mystic proceeding, to Bandbox at least. The cards were cut, and it fell to Duddy to deal. This she did in a scientific shower not less able than the one which preceded the dealing. It was done like a master, and the landlord rubbed his nose now harder than ever, and ventured an exclamation, which was, "My eye, you're a rum 'un !" Buddy turned up an ace, and hold eight trumps beside in her own hand. The game was hers, and she sipped her brandy and took her money with composure. The landlord dealt, and turned up a three. Duddy played as skilfully as a veteran. Duddy knew every card out, and held good ones herself. She won every game, and she or her dummy always had a court card for her trump card, and a good show of trumps besides. "You shuffles the cards in a rum way, my little gal," said Boniface, after he had lost one pound Ave and his temper. " Are you all on the square ? Uow old are you ?" AS a farcical bit of comicality the "take off," on the whole, is capital ; though, it needs hardly be said that, on the whole, " The Girl at the Railway Junction " is by no manner e means up to " The Boy at Mugby."

On the whole, the de rnand for it was steady at enhanced quotations. Owing to the severity of the weather, the show of English, Ssotci, and Irish beasts was very limited. The attendance of butchers was only moderate. Sales, therefore, progressed slowly, but at high quotations. Prime Scots and crosses were disposed of at from 5s 8d to fully 5s 10d per 81bs. Prime short horns realised 5s 6d per 81bs, and a good clear ance was effected. The arrival of beasts from Norfolk and various othor parts of England was confined to 1,000 ; from Scotland 25 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 108 oxen, cows, and heifers.

The Queen and Princess Louise, attended by the Dowager Duchess of Athole and Lady \Vaterpark, drove out yesterday afternoon. Colonel Ponsonby was in attendance upon horse back. Her Majesty walked and drove in a sledge this morning, attended by the Dowager Duchess of Athola. Princess Louise and Prince Arthur skated in the grounds this morning; her Royal Highness being attended by the Hon. Lady Biddulph and the Hon. Emily Cathcart. Princess Beatrice and Prince Christian went out also. Lieut.-General the Hon. Charles and Mrs. Grey had the honour of dining with the Queen and the Royal family yesterday. _ _ Sunday. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise and Prince Arthur, drove out in a sledge yesterday after noon, attended by Lady Waterpark. Her Majesty, their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Edinburgh, Princess Louise, and Prince Arthur, and his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen attended Divine service at Whippingham Church this morning. The Rev. George Prothero officiated. The Duke of Edinburgh, attended by the Hon. Eliot Yorke, honoured Mr. Arthur Helps with a visit at Bishop's Waltham yesterday. His royal highness, accompanied by Mr. Helps, after wards visited the Royal Albert Infirmary and pot tery works there. The Prince of Leinin;,-,en arrived at Osborne yes terday on a visit to her Majesty. The Prince and Princess of Wales. SANDRINGHAM, Sunday. . _ Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and Prince de Teck, with the rest of the company stay ing with the Prince and Princess of Wales, went out skating on Friday. During the day, and whilst some of the party were engaged at snowballing, Mr. F. Knollys, secretary of the Controller of the Prince of Wales's Household, fell and fractured some of the bones of his leg. The Princess of Wales and Princess de 'Peck went out riding in a sledge. On Saturday their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Prince and Princess de Teck, attended by Major Grey and the Marchioness of Carmarthen, and accompanied by the visitors at the house, paid a visit to the ancient royal borough of King's Lynn. The royal party, consisting of 12 or 14 persons, were in four sledges. The first, con taining the two princesses, was drawn by a beauti ful pair of greys, driven i by the Prince of Wales ; the second, being also drawn by a pair of greys, was driven by the Prince de Teck ; and the last, a one-horse sledge of peculiar construction, said to have been presented to the Prince of Wales in Russia, was driven by Major Grey. The royal party left Sandringham about half-past three to pay their second visit to the old borough. Intel ligence of the approaching visit had preceded their royal highnesses ; and, on their entering the east gates shortly after 4 o'clock, they found a liberal amount of bunting had been hoisted in the prin cipal streets, and a large number of persons lined the probable route to witness the novel spectacle. The royal party passed through the town to the market-place, one of the finest open squares in any provincial town, covering about three acres of ground, and thence through part of High-street, and departed by Norfolk-street and the east gates. Sandringham House was reached, via Gaywood and Castle Rising, shortly after five o'clock. Their Royal Highnesses the Pince and Princess of Wales, Prince and Princess de Teck, attended by General Knollys, Major G. H. Grey, and the Mar chioness of Carmarthen, attended Divine service at Sandringham Church this morning. The Rev• Charles Kingsley, one of the chaplains to the Prince of Wales, preached a sermon in aid of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. If the present severe weather continues it is more than probable that the visit of the Prince of \Vales to Gen. Hall's shooting-box will be abandoned, and that the present stay at Sandringham will terminate earlier than was contemplated. CABINET COUNClL—Summonses were issued on Saturday evening for a Cabinet Council, to be held at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, la Downing-street, to-morrow, at three o'clock. Despatches were received on Saturday at the Colonial-office from the Governors of the Australian Colonies, New Zealand, Ceylon, Hong Kong, Malta, and Gibraltar. Despatches were sent to the Governors of the Australian Colonies, Ceylon, Hong Kong, Labuan, the Mauritius, Malta, Gibraltar, Bermuda, and the North American Provinces. THE MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.—The following is Mr. Disraeli's circular to his supporters in the House of Commons :—" Downing-street, Jan. 17, 1867. Sir,—Tbe meeting of Parliament has been fixed for Tuesday, Feb. 59 when the House of Commons will immediately proceed to the consideration of business of the highest importance. I therefore take the liberty of earnestly requesting your pro sonco on that day.—l have the honour to remain, sir, your faithful servant, B. DISRAELI." The announcement re specting the Address in answer to the Queen's Speech in the House of Commons is incorrect. Tho Address will be moved by the Hon. Thomas De Grey, member for West Norfolk ; and seconded by Mr. Graves, member for Liver pool. ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT FROM SKATING.--A serious accident occurred on Thursday at Rockingham, the demesne of Lord Lorton, near,:Boyle.

THE GREAT EASTERN.—The big ship was on Sa turday placed on the gridiron at New Ferry, j ll4 above Liverpool, on the Cheshire side of the river. Th e gridiron was constructed about three years ago, when the vessel was first overhauled in the Mersey, but has since been improved. There was a very high spring tide, an d although the Great Eastern was drawing 18ft. 6 inches of water on an even keel, there was quite sufficient depth on the shore to render the operation of beaching a safe one. The big ship lies broadside on the grid running parall° l with the river. About 9 o'clock a.m. all was in readinesei and the ship left her moorings. Sir J. Anderson, the cora' mender of the big ship attended to the navigation, 'wh ile Mr. Brereton, the successor to Mr. Brunel and Mr. Yoelc' ney, carefully watched the engineering department. Fou r steam tugs (two on each side the Great Eastern) assisted to keep the vessel in position, as with scarcely perceptible motion she neared the beach. The screw engines only of the big ship were worked. The screw boilers had bee n taken out of the ship, and are to be replaced by now one/ and the screw engines were consequently worked from tl° l paddle boilers. The big ship took the grid about 10 o'clock" She was placed with great nicety in the exact position fixed upon. The Great Eastern is kept in position by t °l massive dolphins. Although her sides and bottoms a re ; rather dirty, the linos, bolts, and rivets app order. The gridiron is perfectly flat for 60 feet wide, and the in excellent the big ship rests in perfect security upon it. Every pro' caution has been taken to prevent a ccident.
