'twelve months have elapsed since the people of France, actuated by recollections of gratitude, inspired by an inscrutable anxiety to expiate years of misfortune and forgetfulness, and directA by that spontaneous wisdom of the popular mind which sets at nought the profoundest dictates of philosophy and statesmanship, elected to the presidential chair of the Republic the re presentative of the imperial dynasty. In England the possibility of this election was almost unanimously regarded with derision. As far as the principles of hospitality were concerned, England had afforded to the exile a place of shelter and consolation, influenced doubtless, in some measure, in so doing, by a willing ness to redeem the memory of her turpitude to the Dar Elton. Otherwise the people of these islands seem to have looked down with a feeling of mingled contempt and commiseration, upon the heir to so much glory, the subject of so many vicissitudes, and the adventurer upon so many eccentric and futile expeditions. Having seen him fail so repeatedly it became a conviction amongst us that success, in his instance, was altogether impossible. It was forgotten in the glare of his successive catastrophes that the noblest, the bravest, the sulilimest adventures recorded in history have been dependent upon a propitious casualty as wholly beyond calculation as the accidental cast of a die. But for a lucky fog, which concealed from the Eng'ish fleet in the Mediterranean the vessel bearing the conqueror of the Pyramids from Egypt, the Government of France might have still continued under an effete Directory, instead of passing into the virile grasp of the Consulate, and through that into the vigorous grandeur of the Empire. But for favouring breezes and fortunate currents the return from Elba might have proved a miserable and insane failure, instead of being, as it was, one of the most sublime achievements recorded by ancient or modern annalists. Had Prince CEIA.RLIE continued his march from Derby upon London as he himself projected, but which he was dissuaded from attempting by his more cautious companions, it is the opinion of many able scrutinizers of that epoch that the issue of the campaign would have been rendered more than ever doubtful by the thronging in to his assistance of auxiliaries from Wales and various counties. " Success," NAPOLEON is declared to have said in his "Pewees," "success makes the hero, failure the criminal—a revolt, if fortunate, raises its leader to the throne ; if unfortunate, conducts him to the scaffold." The wisdom of that grand saying is attested by all history, from the records of TACITUA to those of ROBERTSON, from the age of Live to that of TLIIBAEDEA.U. It has been more recently evidenced in the career, the misfortunes, and the ultimate suc cess of the son of HortrarisE and the nephew of NAroLEON. Had he hit the right moment either at Strasburg or Boulogne, and been carried triumph antly from the frontiers to the capital, that son of a king and nephew of an emperor would have been regarded as the hero of the age, and his heroic qualities, his sagacity and chivalry would have been eagerly:eulogised by those who were the first to deride his ill-luck. Either he was too late or too soon upon both occasions—the projec tile lost its aim by the richochet of an accident ! For these reasons, the best reasons of all with the world at large, the young Prince, instead of being commiserated for his adverse fortunes, was almost universally sneered at as a downright imbecile, or at the least as a crack-brained adventurer. It was nothing that he had written books revealing no very mediocre capacity, that his scheme for the extinction of pauperism displayed at once a singular goodness of heart and a remarkable clearness of intelligence, or that his " History of the Cannon " was a military disquisition eminently worthy of a BONAPARTE—we saw him captured as the leader of a riot at Strasburg, and seized as a hairbrained enthusiast by the gins d'armes at Boulogne, and all his merits were forgotten in the ignominy of his ill-success. Time elapsed : the heir and imitator of the EMPEROR suffered with usruffi-d patience an incarceration for six dreary years in the fortress of Ham ; his imaginative and impulsive nature became sobered down by calamities; his energies, nevertheless, still continued in their un abated vigour, insomuch that he was enabled to effect an ingenious esc2pe from the place of his confinement, and to return to his former refuge in expatriation. A sudd , n revolution having given the popular elements of th , French nation freedom to follow the real bent of th.-ir inclinations, it was very speedily manifest that the imperial adventurer had not altogether so egregiously miscalculated the strength of his eau. o as had been previously conjectured. A vast majority, upwards of six millions of votes, collectfti by universal suffrage and by the ballot, declared to Europe that the name of the great NAPOLEON still possessed it' magical influence over the land which he had adorn-d with the evidences of his grandeur and invested with the glory of his vic tories. The people " whom he had loved so well," having reclaimed his august ashes from the distant rock of the southern coasts of Africa, already THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER ll, 1849. began to verify the most touching and, the most beautiful of all the golden . ballads of BERANGER• The memory of the EMPEROR, cherished under the cottage thatch, raised to the supreme post of Republi can President the representative of his historic dynasty. Never before had the world witnessed a more spontaneous and decisive testimony of the homage of a great nation to the fame of a great ruler. Upwards of thirty years bad elapsed since his footsteps had trodden the country rendered more than ever re nowned by the magnitude of his achievements, a new generation had sprung up, possessing only the traditions of his glory, and yet the nation, as with one voice, unbribed, unsolicited, in the teeth of contend ing parties, in spite of the efforts of contemporary ambition, in the face of the Revolution, in the view of all Europe, pronounced its inalienable attachment to the great man's memory by elevating the exiled heir of his renown to be the chief magistrate of the Republic. It was a magnificent retribution for all the petty injuries in flicted upon the Conqueror of Europe, when that conqueror became a captive, and when the terror of his name induced " the most just and the most generous of his enemies" (I I! ) to break through all the prin ciples of public faith and national magnanimity, to wreak an infamous vengeance upon ONE MAN. Yes, it was a grand expiation of i those cruel and dastardly insults forced upon him in the days of his calamity, when they called the anointed Sovereign with whom, as Emperor and King, they themselves had a made so lemn treaties, " General BONAPARTE," forgetting that what they intended as an expression of shame, was nothing less than a perpetual reminder of his real greatness. " I appeal to history," was a say ing continually uttered by the Eurcuou, when his acts were assailed and his fame vilified. History has already responded to that appeal ; and she has spoken in language that cannot be misinterpreted. The election of December 10th, 1848, and the anni versary of that election on the 10th of December, 1849, are facts for the biography of the Emperor NAPOLEON. They are syllables in his epitaph. They are keys to unlock the enigmas of his genius and character. While commemorating the circumstances of this memorable selection of the representative of the Napoleonian family as the first PRESIDENT of the French Republic, it is impossible not to speak in terms of the warmest admiration of the capacity, the sagacity, the prudence, the courage, the temper, the resolution, and the truthfulness displayed by Louis Neraunors—a chieftain whose very name seems to be a significant blending of opposite forces,' com bining the name of the legitimatist with that:of the revolutionary dynasty, yielding to France as a talisman of peace, strength, and reconciliation the name of— Louts-NArommig. It is quite refreshing to find that common sense has not altogether departed from the agricultural dis tricts—to refer to a meeting of farmers, at which the great majority exhibit a firmness and manliness of bearing becoming English yeomen, who are not prepared to abandon all exertion because the rest of the community are no longer subjected to a most oppressive and unjust impost for their peculiar benefit, who are enabled to perceive the true nature of their position, and the absurdity of looking for a return of a system that has been for ever abolished, with the full consent and approbation of the great body of the people, who are determined to meet their difficulties fairly, and boldly to enter into competition with their rivals. The annual meeting of the 'Cirencester Agricultu ral Association is worthy of notice, as exhibiting a practical proof that the condition of the agriculturists has not deteriorated in a greater degree than that of the other great interests—trading or manufacturing— after a crisis of unparalleled intensity, in which all classes suffered deeply and severely from the monetary pressure, and also as affording some cheering prospects for the future. :" The Cattle Show in the morning was above the average merit, and there were more sheep exhibited than had ever been brought together on any former occasion," while, with a single exception, the speeches subsequently addressed to the meeting were of a cheerful and encouraging tone. The true mode in which the farmers should act during the present emergency was pointed out, and the advice was the more valuable, inasmuch as it recommended the employment of additional labour, by which the produce of the land would be mate rially augmented, an a large and deeply afflicted class—the farm labourers, would be enabled to sup port their families by their own honest industry, in pace of being driven to the tender mercies of the union workhouse. The proceeding would thus be " twice blessed," to the givers as well as to the re ceivers, the employers and the employed. The address of the Rev. H. Cairrs was peculiarly approp:iate. It contained no gloomy vaticinations —no prophecies of universal ruin, and na tional bankruptcy. It hinted not at the restoration of protection, or at any minor remedies, but it showed the means available to every man throughout the length and breadth of the land, where labour is cheap and abundant, of opportu nities for which our Australian colonists are pining, and for the possession of which they would willingly pay an enormous price. The Rev. Gentleman said— " For himself ho did not care a farthing about pro tection. He had soli wheat this year at 101. per load, and had got as fair or even a better profit than ho had got last year at 151. He was not afraid of the times. There were may present with a larger capital and more experience than himself, who had spent a large sum in manure and feeding. He had never spent a farthing. but had confinel hiuraele to in creasing his Ishnur, and he had by that means made tuy) crops grow where only one grew before. lie advocated so increase of expenditure in labour on farms instead of reducing the labourers' wages. They all lived in luxury. What was considered a luxury when ho was a child was looked upon as a necessary new ; it was only the poor man whose comforts were measured by the quartern loaf. Ha believed the remedy for Agricultural distress was in their own hands. From his experience, as chairman of the board of guardians of the Cirencester Union, ho could say that he had seen families of labourers driven into the workhouse, at a cost of 501. a year, who might have bean kept out for 50s. If the wages of those men had been raised 2s. a week, they would have been kept off the poor-rates. There were such persons in the poor-house at that moment. He contended, there fore, that those who improved their land by the employment of labour were doubly benefiting themselves. However, they bad this consolation, that at present the depression was alike in all trades, and with regard to the remedy. it must be found in their own exertions. The remedy which he suggested was, that they should farm no more land thin they had capital to cultivate, and that they should make the most they pos sibly could out of it." These are sound and wholesome truths, worthy of being recorded in letters of gold. Let the croakers and alarmists take a lesson from one who, like themselves, is deeply interested in the welfare and prosperity of agriculture. Let them cease to feed cattle and iegin to feed men. Let them learn that it is cheaper to keep able-bodied labourers, who are both able and willing to work, out of the workhouse than in it. Let them abridge some of their own luxuries—luxuries which were never thought of by their forefathers, and bestow, not grudgingly, but with a kind and liberal spirit, some additional comforts upon their dependents. Then, indeed, they may rest assured that they will not be defrauded or their interests neglected, but that they will receive a full and ample equivalent from the grateful peasantry. It will become a labour of love to their workmen to render every possible service to kind and benevolent masters. The work will not be carelessly or negligently performed, but every man will endeavour to benefit him from whom he receives reciprocal advantages. The poor-rates will he materially diminished, while the produce will be more than doubled. If the aphorism of the philosopher be true, which declares that " he is the greatest bene factor of mankind who makes two blades of grass grow where one only formerly grew," Mr. CRIPPS, and those who follow his sensible and judicious re commendations, may be regarded as real philan thropists and patriots. The speeches of Lord VILLIERS, of Mr. E. HOLLAND, formerly M.P. for Worcestershire, who, we trust, will speedily again obtain a seat in the Legislature, and of Mr. MECIII, were also of sound practical character, and deserving of the highest commendation. A spirit of " hope" was apparent in every sentence. .llr. HOLLAND pointed out the almost inevitable consequences of " protection" in the sketch which he gave of the cloth-making county in the far west, which placed a prohibitory duty upon foreign cloths. The spirit of " self-reliance," of honourable emulation, was entirely lost. The prices were, indeed, enor mously increased, but not so the profits of the manufacturer. The demand was diminished in an inverse ratio to the price : "The rich purchaser expended so much leas money in the purchase of other articles. The middleman was obliged to content himself with using one-half thecloth he had formerly used, while the poor man soon became only half•clothed. Additional pauperism followed, and rates increased from the same oause. In the end the duty had to be withdrawn altogether, and efforts were made to restore it, but public opinion was so strong against it that it was not attempted, and cloth became cheap from foreign competition. The consequences of the withdrawal of the duty were pretty near the same as the consequence of the withdrawal of the duty of corn in this county had been." There was, as we hare already stated, one excep tion, and one only, to the harmony and unanimity of the evening, to which we shall not now allude further than to state that the "Jeremiads" of Mr. MULLINGS, M.P., were more suited to the taste of the Reigate farmers than to the manly and independent yeomanry of the Cotswold Hills. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The following announcement appears in several of these journals : " The President of the Republic rode out on horseback yesterday, and as he passed through the Champs Elys44B, which, owing to the fine weather, made a dis play of equipages nearly equal to what was seen before the revolution of February, received numerous marks of the public satisfaction at his recovery from his recent indisposition." On Sunday M. Durex, the President of the Na tional Assembly, gave a grand dinner to the PIESI DENT of the Republic. The principal members of the Assembly, the presidents of the courts, the ambassa dors, &c., were among the guests. At the second course, M. Duris proposed the following toast : "To the President of the Republic; to the union of the public powers, for the strengthening of order in the interior, and the honourable maintenance of peace and good relations with other nations." To this toast the President of the Republic made the following reply :—" It is a happy augury for peace at home as well as abroad, that the first anniver sary of the 10th December is feted in the midst of a great number of the members of the Assembly, and in presence of the diplomatic corps. Between the As sembly and myself there is a community of origin and a community of interests. All of us being the issue of the popular suffrage, we all aspire to the same end—the strengthening of society and the pros perity of the country. Permit me, then, to repeat the toast of your president, 'To the union of the public powers;' and let me add, To the Assembly— to its honourable PRESIDENT.'" _ Lord NORMANBT was absent in consequence of the death of the QuHEN Dowzazit. M. Tnixas was sufficiently recovered to attend. After the dinner there was a grand reception, at which upwards of 1,000 people attended. The Evenement has the following on the subject of the re-organization of the National Guard : " The Council of State, charged by the Minister of the Interior to examine the Bill for the re-organization of the National Guard, has, it is said, addressed its report to the Minister, and, in all probability, the Bill will in a few days be presented to the National Assembly. We are assured that the Bill only excludes from the ranks of the National Guard, in addition to persons who are incapacitated by legal condemnations, those citizens who lire in furnished lodgings and have no fixed domicile. One of the clauses of the law compels the National Guards who have not a complete uniform to provide it within a short delay, failing in which they are to be struck off tho list. It is affirmed that orders have been given to all the mairies of Paris immediately to take:a census of the new National Guard. his also said that the Bill suppresses the artillery and cavalry of the National Guard, but gives to the Government authority fur a squadron of cavalry in each of the legions of the banlieue, if this should appear necessary." The Reforme and the National state that the following circular has been addressed to the colonels of the gendarmerie throughout Prance by the Minister at War. Both these iournals express great indigna tion against General D'HAUTTOUL for having issued such a document, and the National suggests that he should be impeached. The following is the circular : " Paris, Noy. 12. 1849. " Ministry of War, Cabinet of the Minister. Most con, fiden tial. " Colonel,—At the moment when the President of the Republic, perceiving the necessity of taking a more direct part in the management of the affairs of the country, has formed a new Cabinet, and confided to me the portfolio of war, I consider it my duty to appeal to the devotedness of the gendarmerie, and to claim from them a co-operation of a novel kind, which will power fully assist the Government in the energetic course it intends to pursue, in order to arrive at the complete re establishment of public tranquillity. " I have had too long occa-ion to appreciate the ser vices which the gendarm€rie render daily to society, n,t, to know all that can be expected from their zeal and pa triotism under existing circumstances. " The revelation, by creating a crowd of new func tionaries, has excited passions of every description, and roused culpable ambitions, which threaten order and society by their subversive dectrinee. In order to avert those dangers it is necessary for the Government to be immediately informed of what is pass ing in the country. It is of importance that it should be made acquainted, not only with the events and material facts, but also, and particularly, with the moral situation of the localities; and that the observations be not subordinate to events, but precede them. " The gendarmerie must not wait for agitation in the public mind to remark upon it; they must observe it in its habitual state, and calculate the influence that may be exercised in each locality were the enemies of order to attempt to disturb it. It is particularly indispensable to watch the acts and tendencies of the agents of the Government. I consequently desire that the officers of gendarmerie, and even the commanders of brigades, should directly address to me a series of reports (hot periodically), containing the remarks they may think proper to submit to me, and all the facts they consider necessary, that I should know, according to the above indications, to enable me to combat So cialism, to arrest its progress in the rural districts, and to insure public security, more by the prevention than the repression of disorders. "It is not possible, I know, to require from the seb officers commanding brigades complete reports, respond ing to my views and those of the officers, but I never theless require from them those direct reports, because I wish to be in possession of every fact. Their investiga tions, however, should be conducted with caution and prudence: you will have to direct them in that respect, to enlighten them, and give them instructions in accord with their intelligence and the degree of confidence you may place in the discretion of each of them. " I need not tell you, Colonel, that those reports, in tended to make known to me, without delay, events which occur out of the ordinary line of the service, must be essentially confidential. They shall not, consequently, be communicated to anybody. They are to be indepen dent of those addressed to the functionaries of the judi. ciary, civil and military orders, agreeably to the 45th and e2d Articles of the Ordinance of the 29th October, 1820, which shall continue to be sent as usual. Those new reports, however, will dispense you with forwarding those which hitherto were addressed to the offiJe of the general correspondence on political events and the situ ation of the public mind. They must be transmitted to me under a doable cover; the one enclosing the dispatch being blue, and containing this address—' Fur the Mi nister alone;' and the other, the external envelope, will be directed as usual. This correspondence will be copied in a separate book, which every officer and sub-officer must preserve and carry with him, even when he changes his residence. " Such is, Colonel, the delicate mission I confide to the gendarmerie. I am alone to receive the above in formation. It is in my private cabinet the matters con nected therewith shall be transacted, and I alone am to confer on the subject with the President of the Republic. " Bear in mind thel period at which Marshal Moncey, the first Inspector-General of the Gendarmerie, was the chief of a police much more efficacious than that of M. Fouche. I require from the' gendarmerie activity, vigi lance, and devotedness. I will be happy to solicit for them the just recompense which the President of the Republic is disposed to grant them, as I will punish with prompt justice those who, unconscious of their duties, should not becomingly fulfil the important mis sion I confide to them. Remember that the gendarmerie is the advanced sentinel of public order, " You: will appreciate the importance of this con fidential letter. I request you to acknowledge its re ceipt, and to acquaint me with the measures you have adopted to ensure the immediate execution of my orders. You will also furnish me with an account, nominally and under your personal responsibility, of the officers and sub-officers of your legion, to whom you have thought proper to communicate part or the whole of the present instructions. (Signed) " D'HauTrous.." The Bonapartist Club has removed its sittings to the Palate National. M. D'HAUTPOUL, formerly Bishop of CATION, and uncle of General HAUTFOUL, Minister of War, died at Toulouse do Tuesday last, in the 86th year of his age. Yesterday was the anniversary of the election of the PRESIDENT. The day passed off in Paris quietly. It is said that M. Laos FAUCHER will be ap pointed Ambassador to England, and M.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was very firm, and prices of American were gI. per lb. higher. The sales were estimated at about 8,000 bales, 2,500 of which were taken on speculation; the transactions comprised 6 , 500 American, 600 Pernam and Maran ham at 6fd., 700 Surat at 4d., and 40 Sea Island at Is. 04d. to is. 2d. per lb.--For Railway Shares the market was dull and heavy. The guessing and rumours that are going on in the City would be well calculated to excite uneasiness, if we could believe them to be correct, and that a return to even modified protection was really contemplated. In Mark-lane, not only among the factors, but also the farmers, there has been a very general discussion upon the subject of the impo sition of a ss. or an Bs. duty, in respect to which the many recent Cabinet Councils are believed to have been held. We need hardly say that we attach no credit to this supposition, but we should be pleased to learn that there is some truth in another statement, viz., that substantial and more legi timate means of relief for the agricultural inter est are now under consideration, and especially in connexion with a remodelling of the land-tax. Some of the particulars given by the farmers who were yesterday at market would astonish the uninitiated ; the gross injustice of a heavy burden resting upon the occupants of land in one parish, while the agriculturists in the next, though cultivating a better soil, pay, probably, a mere nominal sum, flying specially cited. One party made the assertion that by spreading the taxes equally upon all land, the relief would hs most important; and we would ask upon what ground protection is asked, when other and equitable means of relief are: at hand and untried ? One thing we may truly affirm, viz., that there is a growing feeling of interest and anxiety in the City to ascertain what may really be the intentions of the Government, and whether a division does exist in the Cabinet, as the opponents of free trade delight to assert. The Hamburgh mail of Friday brings the quotation for the exchange on London at 13 10, and the price of gold at 437. Bills were in request. Owing to the closing of the navigation, business generally was very quiet, but at Dantzic there had been a thaw previously to the 3d instant, which allowed of the shipping getting to and fro. At Vienna on the sth instant, Austrian Metallics were 93k. The Amsterdam prices of the 9th instant are scarcely so high. The English Stock Market has been exceedingly buoyant, and the transactions have had reference chiefly to the arrangement of the account, which closes to morrow. Buyers of money stock came in early, and at once gave a further impetus, the value of Consols being run up to 871 I. As the Bulls, however, begin to close accounts the parties dealing on the other side make good their privilege, and by declining to " continue" they bring the speculators for a rise at once to book, produce an unfavourable impression on the market, and leave the said speculator to buy again if he chooses for the new account, which, 'however, he does not always do until there has been a partial rally that restores his good opinion of prices. We are precisely in this position now, and at the moment of our writing, Consols are not worth more than 964 or 4 per cent. worse upon the extreme advance. We may expect more fluctuation yet. Bank Stock is firm at 202 to 203. Exchequer-bills have been 50s. to 53s , and India Bonds 84s. to 87s. premium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been marked 97i to 981.

The pri mary electors for the Second Chamber are to be all citizens of the commune ; the electors for the First Chamber those who pay not less than 25 thalers of direct taxes. POLAND. The exportation of wheat from the kingdom of Poland is prohibited after Ist December. TURKEY. The Wanderer has letters from Constantinople of the 21st ult., stating that Russia insists on her former demand for the removal of Bast and the other rene gades from the frontier, on their being excluded from active service, and on their being kept and treated as prisoners. The reply of the Porte to this request is simple and firm. The Porte declares that the persons in question by embracing the Mahomedan faith have not only become entitled to Turkish protection, _,but that they are now Turkish subjects, and that the Porte, as an independent power, has an exclusive jurisdiction over them. This reply was at once communicated to Messrs. TITOFF and STORMER, the Ambassadors of Russia and Austria. Baron TITOFF returned his copy of the note, with the following remarks : " The Polish refugees are not to be removed; they are to be expelled." "We must insist on this ex pression being made use of in the decrees, notes, and publications of the Porte. We must insist on the Porte consenting to the expulsion of those Poles who have passports from other states, as soon as Russia shall have convinced those states and the Porte itself of the revolutionary intrigues of which those Poles were guilty in Russia—BEM and the other renegades must be confined and strictly guarded. The latter is a condition on which the Court of St. Petersburgh must insist." Baron Titoff declared that if these remarks were received into , the reply of the Turkish Government he would consent to forward the note to his Court ; but if they were not received he must decline for warding it. The Turkish Minister declared that these demands were inadmissible; and the note, ac companied by a copy of Baron TITOFF 'S remarks, was sent to 14 1 IJAD EFFENDI to St. Petersburgh, with instructions , to that diplomatist to endeavour to re concile the Court of St. Petersburgh to the non acceptance of Baron TITOFF'S remarks and the de mands of the Russian Cabinet. In consequence of this step of the Porte, Baron STURMSR, the Austrian Ambassador, declared that he could not enter into diplomatic negotiations with the Porte so long as the official diplomatic relations between the Porte and Russia remained interrupted. The same letter states that the city of Kutaga is spoken of as being destined for the accommodation of the Hungarian and Polish refugees. The French fleet was still lying off Vourle, while the English squadron lies at Besica. The rumours that the Russian fleet was being paid off proves to be un founded—on the contrary that fleet is still lying off Sestapol, and great activity is being displayed in the docks of Cherson end Nikolajew. Russian troops have been dispatched to the Cauca sus and Georgia. The Turks are fortifying the cities of Rustchuk and Chers. They have seat officers to the Anatolian army at Ereroum. The corps of Irak and Arabistan are being placed on a war footing. 1T A L Y. Letters from Rome of the 30th ult. state that in consequence of the representations of General BARIL GOAT D'HILLIERS the POPE would return to Roma on the Bth of December. M. DE FALLOUX has arrived at Naples, and has been 'received by King BOMBA in the manner in which it might be imagined the eulogiser of the massacre of St. BARTHOLOMEW would be received by the organiser of the massacres of MESSINA and CATANIA. M. DR FALLOUX was introduced to the POPE, who bestowed his blessing on the worthy defender of the Inquisition. The Papal Court is entirely without funds. The municipal body of the city of Lucca has been dissolved. ROYAL ACADEMY OF ARTS.

REPRESENTATION or SIIOREHAM.—Mr. Shelley has retired from the contest, and Lord Alexander Gordon Lennox, third son of the Duke of Richmond, is there fore likely to walk over unopposed. LAW INTELLIGENCE. JUDICIAL COMMITTEE OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL—(THIS DAY). (Before the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of London, Lords Langdale, Campbell, Lansdowne, the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, Mr. Pemberton Leigh, Mr. Baron Parke, and Dr. Lushing ton.) GORHAM v. VIE BISHOP OF EXETER. This was an appeal from a decision of the Court of Arches, in which judgment was given for the Bishop of • Exeter, the present respondent. It will be remembered that some time ago , the Lord Chancellor presented the Rev. Mr. Gorham, the present appellant, to the living of Bamford Spoke, in the diocese of Exeter. Before, however, the Bishop of Exeter would consent to the Rev. Gentleman's induction to the living be insisted upon his undergoing an examination before his Lordship, on certain smatters touching his religious belief, conceiving that Mr. Gorham, since his former examination before his Lordship, on being pre• seated to the living of St. Just, in Cornwall, bad held and inculcated doctrines at variance with some of the car dinal articles of the Church of England, particularly that he held unorthodox views with regard to the effect and efficacy of baptismal regeneration. The, cause came on for hearing before Sir Herbert Jenner Fust, la the Arches' Court, in the summer of this year, and, after an elaborate and very learned argument, which lasted several days, the Court pronounced judgment in favour of the Bishop of Exeter, in August lase From that judgment the Rev. Mr. Gorham now appealed to this tii• • bunal. Long before the doors of the court opened a .ecn siderahle crowd, among whom we noticed several cler gy men, bad assembled in the lobby adjacent to the en trance ; and at half-past ten, when the doors were thrown open, a tremendous rush for places in the court took place. Within the bar we noticed several noble men and dignitaries of the Church. The Earl orCer lisle, Sir Edward Ryan, and the Rev. Dr. Wordsworth were among the number. Mr. TURNER, Q C., immediately proceeded to open the case of the Rev. Appellant. Ile began by adverting to the great importance which attached to the question now before the Court in its relation to the Christise Church. He then referred to the career at college of the appellant which reflected the highest credit upon biter . . and to his subsequent presentation to the living of S 1 Just, in Cornwall, on which occasion he had undergone an examination before the Bishop of the diocese, who had given him the usual certificate of the appellant's fitness to minister in the Church of England. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state the circuni• stances attending upon the appellant's presentation 10 the living of:Bamford Spoke, his stelequent exanenation before the Bishop and its results, the proceedings in the Ecclesiastical Court below, and their issue, which we have detailed briefly above. Ile cow. tinned to say that a proceeding on a question this had not been had in the ecclesiastical court for many centuries betore, until it had been mooted in this case. The Bishop of Exeter had charged the appell but with unsound doctrine in regard "to that great s od fundamental doctrine" of the Church is reference to the rite of infant baptism, in that he held that infants were not regenerated thereby, and made the children of God, according to the teaching of the Church of Eng land. He would state to their Lordships what he con' ceiv. d to be the doctrine laid down by the Judge of the Ecclesiastical Court. It was the doctrine of the Church of England that spiritual regeneration was given to all, unconditionally, in and by baptism, and that was the position laid down by the judge in the Arches' Court- That is a doctrine deduced by the Learned Judge infer eutially, as he should contend, not from the articles, but from the services of the Church of Ent . laud. Ile (Mr. Turner) could not collect what wa s the view of the Learned Judge as to what spiritual reg . '', neration was from his judgment. In one place ha cello it a change of nature; in another part he spoke of' it ss a change in condition, and not a change of nature; to another place he described it es something ale os „, amounting to justification. But whatever the Leone' .Judge's judgment might be as to the effect of Waste+ he therein laid it down that it was the doctrine of th e Church of Erg!and that all unconditionally 'eel regenerated by the rite of infant baptism. He won now state the views of Mr. Gorham as to what infan t baptism was. He said spiritual regeneration was change of nature, and not of the condition of man; the it may be given before, or in, or after baptism, as th e Almighty chooses; that if infants receive baptio rightly they must receive the grace of t before cr in baptism. But if infants too receive baptism rightly, Mr. Gorham said their baptism had no immediate spiritual affect. lie ell maintained those doctrines to be proved by the Chute" of England, and by the structure of the service of th: Church of England, requiring as it does, in adults, fa t and repentance, and in infants the promise of faith en" repentance. The first question proposed by the Bides! ) to Mr. Gorham was, to prove from Scripture that bola o esm and the Lord's Sutler were severally necessard salvation. Mr. Gorham answered, in terms, that he ° t not find in Scripture that bapte as and salvation were °o absolutely laid down as in the interrogatory. The ef i ; amination then proceeded to the consideration of general tffect of baptism, apart from its being absolutei necessary to salvation, and the appellant admitted „, 111 , baptism was generally necessary to sa l vat i on . .." 1 7 questions proposed to Mr. Gorham were then taken fro the services of the Church. Th e Bi s h op as k e d if It; Church of England held, and if M r . G or h am h e ld, every child to whom baptism was given by a lac pa minister was regenerated and made a child of God ay r cu inheritor of the kingdom of heaven. Anoth e question was whether the appellant held, and wheth e f r he Church held, that children so baptized were born f t , eater and the Holy Spirit. Mr. Gorham replied to thf,7„ questions generally, that those propositions undoubte dl y eight be held by many members of the Church 1.4 1 18 good conscience, if taken with some just and favoure u , construction, that construction being founded on a parison of the formulas with the articles of the Chor e else articles, Mr. Gorham said, laid down w ith gn a t the absolute necessity of both s acramen ts, eg o bat, with respect to baptism, no disti nct i on wa s 0 ,5 .4 fa them between adults and infants. The articles 01 -here was no bestowment where there was no wortbi reception; but in the f ormu l as t h ere was a di s tineti° o .nade between adult s a nd infants, faith and repenit lo 3 , e a oeing stated to b e th e con di t i ons on which regenerel—of was bestowed in the case of adults, whilst in the esi e ec e infants no such conditions were laid down. In ot . u .• words, the regeneration was stated to be conditions' ' l n to adults, but absolute as to infants. The Bishop l b j e o l pressed Mr. Gorham as to the effect of the spens °r c e, promises within the meaning of the articles of the Chu r ir Mr. Gorham answered the questions generally in e n i sio s aer unsatisfactory to the Bishop. Now, the quo io n before the Court was, whether spiritual regener s 'er was a change of nature or of condition; and I P o s ther the doctrine of spiritual regeneration of in' t ee in baptism, as laid down by the Judge of Court below, was in accordance with the d oc trines the Church of England. To determine this Clit es . it 00 he first point toconsider would be, to what extent ba s t of Church of England declared her views on the eff' . .;,gs naptism P how were the articles of the Church o f _;00 land and her formularies of equal effect to deten e e ,his question ? lie (NI r.
