It is no longer limited in its opera tions to any district or locality, but embraces the entire kingdom within its sphere of action. It pro poses to effect a great political object by strictly legal and constitutional means, and at the same time to improve the social position of its members, by not only giving them a stake in the country, and a voice in the national councils, but at the same time teaching them to practice a spirit of " economy, industry, and _ _ self-denial," and also to foster a spirit of " self reliance, self-dependence, and, consequently, of self respect." These are, indeed, important and ♦aluable lessons, and if the industrious classes should prove apt scholars, and duly avail themselves of the means now placed withi❑ the reach of every energetic and frugal man, a new era will dawn upon the land of their birth. Not only will the extension of the franchise, and the various political and economica, reforms that are so urgently required be conceded but the very persons who are now contumaciously excluded beyond the pale of the Constitution, who are denied the ordinary privileges of free-born men, who are taxed without being represented, will in the struggle have qualified themselves for the proper dis charge of the importants trust to be confided to their charge. The very difficulties that must be surmounted before the great desideratum is attained will teach them its true value and operate as a solemn and em phatic warning against any misapplication or abuse in the exercise of the much-coveted privelege. The magnificent meeting held on Monday evening, at the London Tavern, in furtherance of the objects of the society, must gladden the heart of every true reformer throughout the kingdom. It was an earnest of the fixed and unalterable determination of the people to carry out their objects by peaceful and con stitutional, and at the same time by practicable means, the simplicity of which affords the strongest guarantee for their perfect feasibility. It reminded us forcibly of the best days of the " League," when the method was suggested by which the " monster monopoly " was to be conquered, and which provel the lever by which it was ultimately uprooted from its very foundations. It was strictly a business pro ceeding, and there Mr. COBDEN was completely at home. lie was not babbling to a peace congress about the happy times when " the sword should be converted into the plough share" when there should be a universal disarmament—when tke naval and military establish ments of every country should be broken up—when the principle of equity and justice should be univer sally recognized—when every international dispute would be submitted to arbitration—when " the lamb and the lion would lie dow❑ side by side in perfect peace and harmony ;" his mind was not occupied 13) such impracticable and Utopian visions; he was teaching a people how they should recover their rights, and achieve a complete and triumphant victory with the weapons which the law and the Constitution placed within their reach—" RICHARD was himself again. The objects of the association were clearly and distinctly explained. There was nothing withheld or concealed from public view. It was intended "to enable individual, by means of a small monthly subscription, to accumulate a fund by which they should be enabled in the best and cheapest way to possess themselves of the county franchise." It is in fact a " building society" of the very best description, where the members may be enabled tc acquire property through their own savings, that pro perty being of a nature to carry with it the "elective franchise," and where the necessary expenses will be reduced within the narrowest limits. The society will " purchase large estates, and divide them among its members at cost price." There will be no distri bution by lot, no chance of failure ; every subscriber will receive the full value of his payments, and when the price is made up, will have its full equivalent transferred to him. The habits of saving and self denial thus engendered will not be forgotten when the object is attained, and the member entitled to vote for the election of a representative. The sweets of acquiring property by such means will by that time be fully understood, the practice will be continued gie d what was originally commenced, in order to p l ane the su bscriber on th e freeholders' roll, w ill be persevered in f or other purposes. The perio dical dram will not be resumed: ' the money p reviously spent in gin will not a ga i n b e sq uandered or m isa pp lied in a similar manner. The party who has acquired the esteem and respect of his fellow-men, and what is better, the approbation of his own conscience, will not easily be inclined to relapse into bad habits, or to forfeit the position he has ob tained. The results will be too satisfactory to be readily relinquished. The association is indeed strictly and literally a " building society," although it offers advantages to its members which no other society was ever enabled to announce. It is founded on the Building So ciety's Act, enrolled under its provisions, and duly certified by Air. TIDD PRATT ) the revising barrister. THE SUN LONDON. THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 29 1849. In addition thereto, the directors—and they are men on whose fair fame the shadow of suspicion cannot rest—undertake to purchase lands at their own risk, and to give the refusal to the members at first cost, "to retail the estates at wholesale price." Heretofore the expense and insecurity of any dealing with real property has been so great as utterly to preclude the poorer classes from the acquisition of land. Small properties could not be dealt with, except as articles of luxury. The small proprietor was debarred from selling, the poor man from buying, by the enormous expense of the transfer. That difficulty, that has hitherto proved insuperable, will be completely re moved by the method proposed, and a great social evil will thus be abolished. No question can be raised as to the perfect legality of the society, or its power of conferring the elec tive franchise on its members. The opponents of popular rights have pretended that similar societies came within the provisions of the statute (7 and g Will. 111. chap. 25, see. 7,) against unduly multi plying orl creating votes. But that objection was entirely removed, and the point finally settled by the cases of ALEXANDER, appellant, and NRWMAN, re spondent (1 Bar. and Arnold, 657), and TUORNELRY, appellant, and AsrLAND, respondent (1 Bar. and Arm, 688). The judgment of the Court was so conclusive, not merely as to the legality, but as to the propriety of the course adopted, that we cannot refrain from quoting it verbatim. Chief-Justice TINDAL, in pronouncing judgment, said : " The object of increasing the number of freeholders at a county election is not an object of itself against law or morality, or sound policy. There is nothing in jurious to the community in one man selling and an acquiring such quali fi cation. The object to be effected is neither matum in se nor malum prehibitum. On the contrary, the increasing the number of persons enjoying the elective fran chise has been held by many to be beneficial to the Consti tution, and certainly appear: to have been the leading object of the Legislature in passing the late Act for amending the representation of the people of England and Wales." After this clear, distinct, and unequivocal decision of one of the ablest judges that ever graced the judicial bench, speaking, too, the unanimous opinions of his learned brethren, the sinister forebodings of those who, for their own purposes, would deter the people from investing their money either by alarming them as to its perfect security, or sneering at their earlier efforts, must be for ever silenced. In the West Riding of Yorkshire, in South Lancashire, and in East Surrey, victories hare already been attained by means of the additional voters placed upon the regis tries through the exertions of the Anti-Corn-law League, and these important victories exercised no inconsiderable influence in achieving the final triumph of the free-traders, and the destruction of the corn monopoly. They hastened the overthrow of the " rogues in grain"—an overthrow that would unquestionably have ultimately taken place, but which was materially accelerated by the judicious movement of the practical and experienced Council of the League, which indicated the road to be followed, and the enthusiastic and zealous people pursued the required course, and contributed the funds that were so well applied by their trustworthy advisers. When we have witnessed the auspicious results that attended the limited movement that has already taken place, we hail with joy the more extensive operations that are about to be undertaken —operations which will not be abandoned or suspended u ntil those who I shall prove themselves to be worthy of the elective franchise shall have attained it, and until the House of Commons shall, as it ought to do, fully and fairly represent the great body of the people of this mighty empire. The fiscal and inancial reformars—those who de sire that there should be a fair and equitable adjust ment of the national burdens, and that every man should contribute to the general expenditure, accord ing to his means and the stake he possesses in the country—should not loss sight of the mode suggested by the Hon. Member for Buckinghamshire in his first speech at Aylesbury. Lord STANHOPE and his brother Protectionists are, it appears, resolved "to pin" the Hon. Gentleman down to that speech, that b e shall not evade the responsibility of agitating for a general equalization and more equitable distribution of the land tax. The pledge has been given and must be redeemed. Should not zealous and energetic sup port, then, be given to Mr. DISRAELI in his under taking ? Should the just and statesmanlike project be permitted to fall to the ground because it has emanated from the wrong side of the House, and been advocated by one who, unhappily for himself and for the country, still occupies a seat on the Protectionist benches? Certainly not! We look to measures not men; and our humble assistance shall be rendered to any person who suggests the establishment of a more just and politic system of taxation, by which the national industry will be relieved from the enormous pressure under which it is now sinking—so far we agree in the proposed method. There can be no doubt that " indirect taxation" is a modern innovation which has been gradually sub stituted for the more ancient and far more equitable sys- tem under which the expenses of the government were in a great degree, if not altogether, defrayed out of the real estates of the country, which were expressly charged with the payment of any " rates, taxes, aids, or benevolences," that might be required by the exigencies of the monarch or of the people. This substitution has arisen from the power of the territorial aristocracy, in what was, by a pleasing fiction, de nominated the " popular branch of the Legislature ;'' every member of which was until very lately required to be possessed of a certain amount of real estate, as an essential qualification for this position. Every legislator was, therefore, necessarily a landowner, and it is by no means wonderful that the "landed interest" found extraordinary favour in the sight of successive Parliaments, and that the fiscal burdens which were from time to time increasing in magnitude, from the ruinous effects of successive wars, from the improper alienation of the hereditary revenues of the crown, and the abolition of the feudal system, should be transferred by degrees to the products of industry, and be made charges on the rapidly improving trade and commerce of the country. Under the ancient system there was no such thing known as a " standing army." The military service of the country was discharged by the tenants in capite of the crown, and their retainers. These per sons held their lands on condition of attending in person, with a specified number of men, proportioned to the extent of their possessions, upon the sovereign, when required so to do, either for the purpose of re pelling invasion, of carrying the war into the ene mies' country, or even of mere pageantry. The entire of the land was supposed to be vested in the monarch. i The barons held their estates as vassals of the crown and were bound to render certain services in r e tu rn), as the only condition on which they could enjoy the fruits of their holdings, and these services might fairly be considered as the " rents " which they rendered to the real owner. They were compelled to make and maintain all roads and bridges that might be required, to build and garrison castles, to provide ships and men, whenever wanted, so that the naval as well as the military establishments were fully kept up by the territorial aristocracy. They were also subjected to a variety of other burdens of a very vexatious and onerous character, the records of which are only to be found in old legal writers It is unnecessary to detail the particulars of the " aids, benevolences, reliefs, primer seisin, fines on marriages and alienations, escheats," &c., to which the owners of land were subjected, and which gave rise to so many complaints and remonstrances. The system of " wardship" was peculiarly objectionable. The sovereign was permitted to appropriate to his own use the entire produce of the estates during the minority of the parties entitled thereto ; and if the possessor was a female, to select a husband whom she was bound to marry on pain of absolute forfeiture. This extraordinary power was based on the assump tion, that inasmuch as an infant could not render the required services, or perform the duties incidental to the possession of land, the king should receive the pr o o o d rr u dt ce until the disability had terminated. The Court of to fW se a c r u th Wards sre was s e full established ad vant a g b e y s o f f l etNhae these VIII. in , and the tyrannical and oppressive proceedings of that body led to the opposition which terminated in its abolition in the reign of the Second CHARLES. These admitted grievances should unquestionably have been removed, and more equal imposts substi tuted in their place, but the new burden should also have been placed upon the land, and the complainants should not have relieved themselves at the expense of the innocent people. As we have already shown, the liabilities might be regarded as the " rents " paid by the large proprietors, and those " rents" could not fairly be abolished without rendering full and fair equivalents. The landocracy was, however, in the as cendant, and they removed their own peculiar bur dens by the establishment of _Excise duties. One of the first acts of the restoration, was for the abolition of the " Court of Wards," and of liveries, tenures in capite, and by knight service and purveyance, and in lieu thereof it was provided a revenue should be obtained from a tax on beer, cider, mum, perry, and other liquors, the moiety of which was settled on the King, his heirs, and successors, in full recompense and satisfaction of the profits and emoluments of which he was deprived by the abolition of the burdens on land. This was the origin of the " excise," so justly obnoxious to the people, by which inquisitorial powers were conferred upon the officers, the people heavily taxed on articles of almost primary necessity, and improvements retarded, and a check given to native industry and home production. It was the result of a bargain between the King and the great Lords, who got rid of heavy charg es affecting them selves by imposing most objectionable burdens on the industrious classes, who were thus unjustly fleeced of their honest earnings without receiving any benefit whatsoever in return. Such was the state of affairs when the land-tax was imposed, by which every description of accumu lated and realised property, personal as well as real, was charged with a poundage rate of 4s. in the pound on the annual value, or 208. for every 1001. of the capitalized value—a tax which, if judiciously and equitably enforced, would be amply sufficient to pro vide for all the national expenditure, to defray the interest of the public debt, and to support the naval, military, and civil establishments of the country in full efficiency. The restoration of this system, ac cording to the original intention of Parliament, is alike demanded by justice and expediency, and every true reformer should labour zealously and energetically ,o obtain that great desideratum. and Liege, 614 Orleans and Bourdeaux, 3 —Rouen a nd Havre, 9 1 4 Sambre:and Meuse, 2 LA.

KO.NE Y and COMMERCIAL SEW S CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was very heavy. The sales were estimated at 3,000 bales, all to the trade, including 150 Pernam and Maranham, at bid. to 6id.; 250 Bahia, at qd. to 6-ad. 200 Surat, at 43 . 1. to 4L-l.; and 50 Sea Island, at Is. Id. to is. 4d. per lb.— Railway Shares were more animated, but prices were without alteration. The sales of Wheat in the markets which regulate the official average prices were, last week, 103,356 quarter:, and of Barley 89,423 quarters. Notice has been given by the Post-office authorities that after the Ist of next month a closed mail will be made up for Holland, and transmitted, Sunday excepted, by way of Belgium. The correspondence for Holland which the public may desire to forward in this manner will be addressed by closed mail, via Belgium, and the postage per half-ounce will be is. 4d., to be paid in advance or not, at the option of the sender. The steamer America has arrived, and brings later accounts than the New World packet, which came in on Tuesday. The most interesting point noticed in these advices is the decline in the rate of exchange on Englund, and the dull state of things in the cotton market. Upon thse two interesting topics we learn that the rate was 1091 to 110, that further shipments of gold were for the moment likely to be arrested, and that the advance in Government Securities would prevent further remit tances of them. The weather, with but little intermis sion, had been favourable for the growing crop of cotton; and the very short crop estimates were, fortunately for the manufacturers of England, gradually giving way to more reasonable ones. There had been some further exposures of swindling banks. The Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge Company had declared another dividend of five per cent. on the paid up capital. In Canada the annexation question still absorbed all attention, and it is stated that the great majority of the agriculturists of Canada, who form eighty per cent. of the population, contrasting their present position with that of the farmers of the United States, believe the latter to enjoy superior advantages. This, however, it is conceived, even if correct, might be remedied. The Montreal Pilot, in continuation of its remarks with reference to the allegations contained in the annexa tion manifesto, about the " ruin and rapid decay" of commerce, publishes a tabular statement of duties re ceived at certain ports in Canada during the two quarters ending sth July and 10th October, 1848 and 1849. From this it would appear that the increase of the revenue during the last' half-year has been upwards of 43 per cent., from which deducting 22 per cent. increase on the rate of duties levied, there remained an increase of fully 21 per cent. on the consumption of customable articles, which has increased more than one-fifth during the last six months, in comparison with a similar space of time last year. Lima accounts of September 28, state that " The question at Valparaiso, of the monopoly of cascarilla bark, is much agitated iin the public journals. A pro position to grant the exclusive privilege of the exporta tion of cascarilla for ten years, meets with much favour from the Governor and Dictator Balzu, and is opposed by the editor of El Mercurio with much warmth. It appears that there exists already a monopoly of this branch of commerce, and that the Dictator is desirous of abolishing it, for the mere purpose of establishing another, more profitable to the Government," From Bolivia we learn that a great geld.placer had been discovered. The election for President of the Republic of Equador, lies between General Elizalde, of the ministerial party, and Senor Novoa, of the opposition. The former seems to stand the best chance. Nothing is now thought of Flores ; he has lost all his prestige and influence, from his uniform bad success in every thing he has undertaken. Tho Bank of Ireland has followed the example set here, and reduced its rate of discount ,1 per cent. The present charge, therefore, on English Bills is 3h, and on Irish 4 to 5 per cent. The Fuuds are quieter, and not quite so high as yester day. Consols have ranged from 95 t 095- for Tranifer, and have been 95h # for Account, which are about the pre sent rates. There have been one or two money sales, as usual, after a decided rise ; but the American accounts being favourable in respect to cotton, hove checked any sensible reaction in the market, notwithstanding the contradictory statements concerning the production of Californian gold, and the prospects of fresh discoveries.

The :Lorin CHANCELLOR this morning, after a short discussion, dismissed the appeal,:and ordered an lisle to try the validity of the will on the ground of the truste e objecting to its validity. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) A (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster , befor e Lor d Chief Justice WILDE and a Common Jury.) COLLYER V. BIAYNE.--SEDUCTION. This case, which was part - heard yesterday , and re' ported at considerable length in our last e dition 101 night, was resumed this morning. The case for tb e plaintiff closed at the rising of the Court yeitercil evening, and witnesses were called for the defence 0319 morning. William ellsUtley was called and examined by ISt: B RAMWE LL—(He gave his extraordinary evide oCv throughout with a surprising degree of nonchalance)' He said I am a clerk to Messrs.

My employment took me often into aid church. I know the young woman that was yesterday, Francis Elizabeth Collyer. I have bad cetu nexion with her more than once. I had connexion I ' l o her about the middle of 1845. I discontinued doing.„ o about the latter end of 1847. I had con nell ;) with her in the church.

Great fears are entertained of another outbreak, and the corps of Bombardiers has been ordered to 011mutz, it having been discovered that they, in com mon with almost the whole of the Austrian artillery, are republicans, and would, in case of an emeute, be inclined rather to join the people than act against them- An amnesty will, it is said, be published on the let January, 1850. A report of the Minister of Finances, sanctioned by the EMPBROR, establishes a new duty on sugar. This is regarded as another step towards an AuBtro- German customs-union, the duty being only a shade higher than that imposed by the Zollverein. The Zollverein imposes a duty of lfl. 36k. on home-made sugar. The new Austria❑ tariff fixes it at lfl. 40k. The duty on refined sugar in the Zollverein is 15fl. 59k., in Austria 1611. The garrison of Pesti) is to be increased to 16,000 men ; an addition is also to be made to that of Tienna. The suspension•bridge between Buda and Peeth has been opened to the public. The EMPEROR was to leave Prague on the 23d, and was expected at Vienna on the 27th inst. HANOVER. In its sitting of the 24th, the Second Chamber of the States of llanover adopted, almost unanimously, the following proposition of M. LONG :—" The States resolve to address to the Government the following declaration on the affairs of Schleswig-Holstein : The States express their confidence that during that oontinuance of the armistice the Government will continue to maintain a legal conduct, and will repel all encroachment on the part of Denmark, and that, in the negotiations for peace, it will defend the rights of Germany and the Duchies. If the co-operation of the States should be necessary to attain these ends, it will be granted on the request of the Government.' " PRUSSIA. Accounts from Berlin state that the Prussian Go vernment have not made any answer to the protest of Austria against the last resolutions of the Council of Administration, that is, against the elections to the Parliament at Erfurt. But if the Austrian Govern ment make any positive propositions, the Prussian Government will give to them all due consideration. TionruN, NEUMIWN, and BUDOW DE LIEuaN WALDE were brought before the Court of Assizes at Berlin on the 24th, as being concerned in the pro pagation of the vote for the refusal to pay taxes. The Court returned a verdict of Not guilty, 7 1 - 'LTRKEI. On the 7th November a Cabinet Council met at the Sublime Porte, under the presidency of the Grand Vizier. On the following day M. TITOFF, the Russian Ambassador, had an interview with that dignitary. General AUPICK, the French Ambassador, in consequence of dispatches brought by the steamer Luxor to Smyrna, and forwarded from thence by a Turkish vessel, had gone to Baits Leman to consult with the Grand Vizier. The French steamer Averne had quitted its station at Constanti nople on the Bth, and it is conjectured that it was the bearer of commands to the French fleet respecting its future position. ITALY. A letter from Rome of the 14th Nov., written by a French officer, describes the attack on the Ghetto by order of the Cardinals, as bringing out in a stronger light than ever the infamy of the priestly Govern ment of Rome. The pretext for the attack was to search for articles of value alleged to have been plun dered from the churches after the expulsion of the Porn. No such articles were found, but in order to get up a public feeling against the Jews, saucepans and other articles of domestic use were covered with white linen, and conveyed away by the priests with an air of mystery to the carriages which were in waiting. But this was not the worst. The officers of the Cardinals broke open the strong boxes of the Jews, and robbed them of all their savings. One man, a tailor, who had agreed to purchase a business in liamburgh, was robbed by these protectors of order, religion, and property of 2,500 crowns, which he had collected to pay for the business he had purchased. Several ladies and young girls of noble families have been arrested and thrown into prison, by order of the Cardinals, for having in the churches prayed for the souls of those who had died in defence of liberty. An unfortunate parrot, denounced by one of the Papal spies as having uttered seditious cries, was arrested by the abirri and executed on the spot. The return of the POPE to Rome is again postponed. His Holiness is said to be dissatisfied with the conduct of the three Cardinals. Accounts from Turin state that Count PRALoRmo will be appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs, and that the Marquis D'Azsmao will continue President of the Council, but without a portfolio. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, WADNZSDAY. The Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince Albert have taken their usual walks in the grounds this day. her Royal Highness the Princess Royal and his Royal Highness the Prince Alfred arrived at Os borne yesterday, at a little before two o'clock, from Windsor Castle.

"The Queen Dowager pas Fed a similar night to the preceding one, and her Majesty remains in the same state as yesterday. " DAVID DAVIES, M.D." We have much pleasure in announcing the acces sion of the Right Hon. Fox Maule, M.P., to a seat in the Cabinet. There is good reason to believe that Lord Alexander Lennox, a younger son of the Duke of Richmond, will offer himself as a candidate for the representation of the Rape of Bramber. We are informed that Government has determined to afford effectual assistance to Mr. Richardson, the African traveller, in prosecuting his travels and re searches in the great desert of Sahara, Soudan, and the regions of Bornou and the Lake Tshad. We understand that it will be part of the duties of Mr. Richardson to endeavour to bring the chiefs and princes of the interior of Africa into relations of com merce and amity with this country. Mr. Richardson is enjoined to embrace every opportunity of im pressing upon the minds of the people and princes of Africa that legitimate commerce is preferable to that of the traffic in men. Mr. Richardson will be accompanied by Drs. Ba rth and Overweg, Prus sian :avails who are charged by Government to draw up a scientific report. This will render the mission complete, and the interests of science will be equally consulted with those of commerce and philanthropy. Major-General Bowles, who was at the siege of Copenhagen, 1807, and who served at the passage of the Douro, Bidassoa, Nivelle, Nive, and Adour ; at the battles of Talavera, Salamanca, and Vittoria ; at the sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajos, Burgos, and San Sebastian ; at the capture of Madrid, at the in vestment of Bayonne, and at the battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo, and the subsequent capture of Paris, has succeeded to the distinguished service pay of 255. per diem. THE COLON ELCY OF THE 4TII DRAGOON GUARDS. —We are enabled to announce that Lieutenant- General Richard Pigot has been appointed to the colonelcy of the 4th Dragoon Guards, vice Sir G. Anson, G.C.8., deceased. Lieutenant-General Pigot was formerly of the 21st Dragoons. Ile entered the army in 1793, was actively employed in the West Indies in 1794, served at the capture of Minorca 1798, at the capture of the Cape of Good hope 1106, and in the East Indies in 1818. Men of talent often appear common-place, but it is generally when they are in the company of stupid and ungenial people .—Eliza Cook's Journal. KILLARN la JUNCTION RA ILWAY.•.-ahe accounts of this company to the 31st of October, 1849, show that 48,797/. had been received, and 47 8121. expended, leaning a balance in hand of 985‘ THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur publishes the following account o. the arrest of the Legitimatist conspirators in the Rue de Romford : " The police having some time since received informs- tion that unauthorised political meetings were held at No. 16, Rue Romford, about ten o'clock on Monday night several commissaries of police, accompanied by a brigade of sergens do vine and a company of troops of the line, went to the house and arrested 46 individuals. Among the persons arrested are mentioned an ex garde du corps, two police agents recently dismissed, and an ecclesiastic attached to the church of St. Severin. The persons arrested were taken to the Prefecture, and several commissaries of police were occupied the whole night in interrogating them. Searches were made at all their respective residences. An investigation has been entered into, and the whole of the party placed at the disposal of the Procureur of the Republic. A captain of the National Guard out of uniform, who, in the interest of order, had entered to see what was the matter, was detained for a few minutes." The Evenement says—" Last night, about fifty Legititnatists, among whom were an ecclesiastic and an old officer of the garde royale, were arrested in the Rue Romford. The discovery of a depot of arms at Versailles is said to be connected with this conspiracy. The Legitimatist Members of the Assembly met to-day lin the Salle des Conferences, and deliberated at some length on this grave event. M. DE LAROCILEJAQUELIN, amongst others, is said to have expressed himself with great warmth. He is reported to have said, 'lt is an affair of police, it is a coup de main of CARLIEE: AI. DE LAROCHIJAQUBLIN intends, it is said, to address interpellations to the Government." The Gazette de France, alluding to the same sub ject, remarks—" We declare that the men of the Right do not conspire, and it will not be long before we hear that these pretended plots are the traditions of the police of the Empire, if they hare not been imagined for the purpose of attacking inoffensive and legal meetings." This declaration of the Gazette de France, that " the men of the Right do not conspire," is a piece of " modest assurance ' worthy of the late Abb DE G'ENOUDE himself. Did the writer of this declara tion never hear of GEORGES CADOUAL and his asso ciates ? Did he never hear of the infernal machine ? We hope that the French Government will institute a searching investigation into the circumstances at tending this conspiracy, and that no more favour will be shown to the " white" disturbers of order than has been shown to the red. In the Legislative Assembly, on Tuesday, the Bill relating to oonlitinng, which has been so long under discussion, was definitively adopted. The Bill autho rising the annulation of 79,311,693 f. belonging to the sinking fund was read a second time; and that authorising the calling out of eighty thousand men, from the class of 1849, was read a first time ; and the proposition of General DB GEASIMONT to punish cruelty to animals, was declared to be taken into consideration. The sitting then terminated at five o'clock. At a Cabinet Council held at the Elysee, on Tuesday, the PRESIDENT proposed that a grand re view of the National Guard of Paris should be held on the 10th of December. General CHANGARNIER was present, and took part in the discussion. The decision of the question was postponed until the next sitting. It is said that General RAUDON will be appointed Ambassador to Vienna, in the place of M. GUSTAVE DE BEAUMONT, and that General DB CASTELBAJAC will succeed General LAMORICIERE at St. Peters burgh. M. FLAYIGNIC has presented the report of the com mittee, on the proposition of Colonel CIIARNAS, for selling the Crown jewels. The committee has de cided unanimously against the proposition. M. REAEILLY has presented a proposition to the Assembly, for depriving every Member who shall fight a duel of lug seat, and for further declaring him incapable of being elected a representative of the people for the period of one year after fighting such duel. _ _ There is no truth in a rumour which was exten sively circulated by the Legitimatists, that differ ences had arisen between the Governments of France and England, on the subject of the orders given to their respective fleets in the Levant. On the contrary, the best understanding exists on the sub ject, and simultaneous orders have been sent by both Governments placing the fleets at the entire disposal of their respective Ambassadors at Constan tinople. La Presse announces that the French Government have notified to the British Cabinet their intention not to continue on the western coast of Africa the 26 cruisers which they bound themselves to employ in the suppression of the slave trade by a convention, signed by the Duke DB BROOLIB, on the 9.9 th of May, 1845. The Corsairs says:— " The Princess de Lieven gave her second soirée on Saturday. All the influential men of the Government of Louis Philippe were present. MAI. Mol4, do Broglie, de Kissolef, Duchitel, wore remarked grouped round M. Guizot. M. de Remusat represented M. Thiers. The Minister of Finance, M. Achille Fould, was also present." The Moniteu' contains the following report from the Minister of the Marine on the subject of the affair of Morocco, dated 26th inst.:— " Monsieur le President,—The friendly relations of the Government of the Republic with Morocco have been re. cently interrupted, in consequence of the rudely provok ing acts of the agents of the Emperor Abd-der-Rhaman, at Tangier and at Mogador. Captain Le Barbier de Tinan, at the first commencement of this lamentable con flict, received orders to proceed to Tangier with the Po mone frigate under his command, to collect together and protect, in case of need, our consuls and all French sub jecte. The detailed reports received from this officer testify the vigour and activity which he displayed in the accomplishment of the difficult duties imposed upon him. Everything appeared to presage that France would be compelled once more to resort to force against Morocco; but the conduct, at once skilful and resolute, of the cap tain of the Pomono, happily and honourably terminated this serious dispute. The important services ren dered on this occasion by Captain Le Barbier Tinan, added to those which had already marked his career, make it a duty for me to propose to you, Monsieur le President, to grunt him a testimony to your high satis faction. I consequently beg you to promote this officer to the rank of Commander of the Order of the Legion of Honour. (Signed) ROMAIN DEITOSSEB." This report is followed by a decree of the PRESI DENT of the Republic promoting Captain La BAR amt. DE TINAN to the rank of the Commander of the Legion of Honour. The Moniteur also contains the detailed account of the proceedings alluded to by the Minister in his report, but which add nothing to the particulars we have already given on the subject. The investigation into the particulars of the Legiti matist plot continues, and it is said that proofs have been obtained of the complicity of several persons of high rank. M. DR CANtrAGNE who was arrested in the Rue Romford, declares that he is the only leader in the business, but this is considered a mere sub terfuge to save the real leaders in the conspiracy. The determination of M. DE LAROCIIJAQUELIN to agitate the matter in the Assembly, is considered by his friends as most injudicious.
