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 prog,ressand 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 to us, bearing date January 18th; is of the briefest possible extent, bat it is, nevertheless, highly impor tant. " The Supreme Court," soruns the message, " has decided that the test oath.is unconstitutional." This is a most significant step; and it confirms Mr. JOHNSON'S anticipations of the sapport which he would receive from the judicial authorities. It is'a severe blow to the Radical- party, "a;nd deprives _tjiem of many of their most speciouspretexts. It remains to be seen what step will be next taken by • the dominant party. If t eir awn 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 th e e 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 road upon which the Radicals 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 hurry their followers if k still supported. The annual meeting of the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce was herd on Friday last, and the pro s ceeilings derived some interest from the presence of the, borough member, Mr. ROEBUCK. That gentle man, who had gone down on pitrposa to take part in thet'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 4ctual condition of prices and markets, the report entered upon a wider range, and dismissed the poss i b le an d _probable effects of the great political cha n g e s of the. time upon the inhdiuestrynitoeftehmeiro st t o a N p v n p a . r e ß n t y .the, wo n d er f u l li nks which unite th l y discordant ag enc i es , the military conventions of Germany, the political rivalries of America, exercise their influence on the manufacturers and factory hands of Sheffield. The American trade forms a very important part of Shef field business ; the value of the steel alone ex ported last year was more than £700,000. During 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 laughterpf 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 part, tnen protection is established throughout the Unitecil:ptates." Of the Canadians Mr. ROEBUCK spoke strongly and some what harshly, though having paSped a good many years in Canada perhaps he . thinks he has a Tight to criticise them as a countryman. lye cannot agree with him that - -ti 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 bet to exclude. A large proportion of our trade is with our depen dencies, while the politicians who are continually declaring that. England woti!d 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-fifth. But the President of the Chamber declared his conviction that the educated classes of,Austriawere 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 EmrEllon can do as regards the largest part of his possessions is to introduce as far as possible Free Trade." 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. L, " ".." 1 1 T.ri TES'biG-111., (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) ..

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 I s l es "—f rom " The Bridal of Trie,rmain," and " Harold the Dauntless," and " The Field of Waterloo"—through all the seven Ballads translated or imitated by Sir Walter from the German, in:chlding among them Gtithe's King" and B tirger's " Leonora"--- do wit to the briefest of his own original. Ballads, hiS Songs from the No vels, and hisScings•from the Plays and Minor Poems —definable these latter only under the vague heading of Poems of aMiScellaneouit Character. Among these last how eversuch world-famous piecesas Helvellyn, and Wandering - Willie, and Macgregor's Gathering, and Jock of Hazcldean! There are poems hero in this volume—yet who needs be told this ?—that are just p.anks . .;, pr1;;213, nitt3hic..9s 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-red 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 Globe 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-humourei 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 D uddy—a creature with red hair and a dirty pinafore--Lwho thus:evidences her pre cocity after dinner when playing cards with Band box Bother and the landlord, and Duddy's own particular partner " Dummy :" "pr o w much do we play for, landlord 2" inquired Band box. ,‘ Whatever you please, sir —twopenny points, if you like." . _ " Don't be shabby," interposed Duddy, passing the cards from ono hand to the athor itt 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 lend me four shillings to mark with, Bandbox," exclaimed Duddy, getting quite 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 tho 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 ono which precoded 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 'Lin !" Duddy turned up an ace, and held 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 know every card our, 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 goad show of trumps besides. "You shuffles the cards in a rum way, my little gal," said Bonifaee, after he had lost one pound five and his temper. " Are you all on the square ?

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 beat 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 or aen. rn f i 3d u on s r e i f Gnt punctually llho allTet 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 than our own, and mistaking imight nti gsahwprit uasd cause eutanoai cinG f dui o oet e s r ivba eatt e rite f fonednme.oc on the nvtit u thhh n mea t t i uAu l :s.d o t t d r h u bw e l ee d y hs se, Al ,t e , Senate, this letter, and ci s t ig nor ant h a u y e e r s if e t " nis l te t r is sh a o ls u o ld b e intended, sent t 0 says t h e regulated?" g a u t 1 the e the Corps Legislatif to take part in certain debates, and this by virtue of a special commi • ssion. It ap pears that the Constitution does not admit of any "solidarity" among the Ministers, but Rld • kes them dependent upon the chief of the State only. The most important change indicated, however, is is that relating to the Press. A law is t o 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 restratiing it within thcise hats which public safety demands. The EMPEROR con cludes his impressiye 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. Ido 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 restricted 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.EurEßoll, having begun the work, will not. MARKETS.—This day. MARK LANE. Tho leading country markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat, which moved off slowly, but at full prices. There was only a limited inquiry for barley, oats, beans, peas, and flour; noverthess, the quotations ruled firm. The Continental markets have continued steady for wheat, at full prices. At New York the value of both wheat and flour continue very high. Thu 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 Monday last.

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 Teck 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 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 Wales to Gen. Hall's shooting-box will be abandoned, and that the present stay at Sandringham will terminate earlier than was contemplated.

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, just above Liverpool, on the Cheshire side of the river. The gridiron was constructed about three years ago, when the vessel was first overhauled in the Mersey, but has sinc e _, been improved. There was a very high sp r i ng 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 0 00 ' The big ship lies broadside on the grid running paralle l with the river. About 9 o'clock a.m. all was in readinesth and the ship left her moorings. Sir J. Anderson, the CO'e mander of the big ship attended to the navigation, whi le Mr. Breroton, the successor to Mr. Brunel and Mr. Yock ney, carefully watched the engineering department. rouf, steam tugs (two on each side the Great Eastern) ageism"' to keep the vessel in position, as with scarcely perceptib le motion she neared the beach. The screw engines only of the big ship were worked. The screw boilers had bean taken out of the ship, and are to be replaced by new one* and the screw engines were consequently worked fronith e paddle boilers. The big ship took the grid about 10 o'clocX• She was placed with great nicety in the exact position fixed upon. The Great Eastern is kept in position by tit ° massive dolphins. Although her sides and bottoms e re . rather dirty, the lines, bolts, and r iv e ts li; Appear in excell e order. The gridiron is perfectly flat for 60 feet wide, s e ' the big ship rests in perfect security upon it. Every Pr e ' caution has been taken to prevent a ccident. FOOTBALL.—ETON AND HARROW V .THE WOl lO 6 l —These two great schools will meet the rest of the in football strife ; for the second time this season, on Vi r e w ,, nesday next, the 23d inst., at Westminster, the first Ma te " played on Tuesday, the Bth inst., at Westminster, Wi l t terminated unsatisfactorily in a draw, two bases having been obtained by each side.
