A wonderful amount of parade is just now being attempted by the naval authorities respecting what they are facetiously pleased to call the expedition evinced in manning and fitting out British vessels. Occasionally, it is true, when the voice of popular displeasure at the indolence and mismanagement per ceptible in the maritime service becomes too audible, spasmodic efforts:are made to assuage the general indignation. Of late this has been conspicuous. Several vessels have filled up their necessary compli ments within comparatively brief intervals. In the Leander, for example, .500 men within thirty days were entered ; a similar period enabled a crew of 200 to be drafted into the Firebrand, an equal number to be passed into the Encounter, and 160 to be collected together in the Cormorant. About a month after its pendant was hoisted on board the Spiteful it obtained its complement of 160 men, and proceeded up the Mediterranean. Precisely the same amount of crew was assembled, in twenty-five days, on board the Scourge, and on board, likewise, of the screw-steamer Conflict, lying off Devonport. Yet, with all these energetic endeavours which are made, every now and then intermittently, the service is compelled to languish in consequence of some rational and really economical arrangement for the retention of those able-bodied and efficient seamen who are scattered abroad upon society every time a ship is paid off, on returning from a foreign station. Nay. simultaneously with the recurrence of such circumstances as those just enumerated, the public is made aware of some grievous mismanage merit, like that witnessed at present in regard to the manning of the splendid eighty gun man-of-war, the Superb. As recently as the 14th of this present November, that magnificent vessel was, by 180 mariners, short of her required complement of 750 although for eight or nine months she has been lying off Spithead, while hundr( ds, or rather thousands, cf prime first rate seamen have been from week to week disbanded in her immediate vicinity. Conse quent upon this lamentable carelessness, stupidity, or procrastination, she is now compelled to take whatever men come to hand, good, bad, or indifferent, and to scrape the necessary increase together with a "hurry scurry" of the moat ominous description. T e obviate henceforth the ceaseless ,repetition of these evils to the service it is incumbent upon the authori ties at the Admiralty themselves to take the initiative In the way of innovation and improvement ; other wise the task of effecting the changes now altogether inevitable will devolve immediately upon the Par liament. Professional men are proverbially jealous of the interference of non-professional men in the alterations introduced into their respective depart ments. If the naval authorities, therefore, are really solicitous to retain in their own hands exclusively the conduct of their own service, we would certainly commend to them the advisability of exa mining how far changes are demanded in its organi zstion ; for most assuredly come those changes will —either from the Admiralty itself, or from the wholesome pressure from without, or from that instinctive intelligence from within which has not unfrequently been evidenced by the Legislature. The grievance of the present system, or rather we should invariably say, of the present want of system, has become altogether too glaring to be endurable. Common sense, right reason, a moment's considera tion, alike assure us that no course more effectually than the one hitherto pursued for the purpose of manning the navy could entail greater expense or more intolerable difficulties upon the country, a larger amount of anxiety and annoyance upon the officers, or a more pitiable degeneration upon a class of men whose efficiency should be our pride, whose esprit de oorps should be cur boast, and whose col lective vigour and unremitting activity should be the themes of our national glory and exultation. Another evil, of a very different description, is at the same time visible in the general conduct of the maritime force of England. Those who are familiar with the condition of this great service—the principal cause of our national greatness, the chief instrument of our national defence, and the sole guarantee fur the conservation of our naval supremacy—will not be slow to conjecture that the evil to which we are now making allusion is that which is, without question, sufficiently manifest in the construction of the vessels constituting the British Navy. It appears to us, it must appear to any rational observer, that the habit has too long prevailed of permitting naval officers to exceed, with overmuch temerity, the due limits of their very responsible and very distinguished profession. To subject the labours of shipbuilding to the superin tendence of a man simply because he happens to wear a blue uniform coat and a c sup!e of epaulettes, appears to be rather an ingenious method of embarrassing the difficulties of a science of itself sufficiently onerous and intricate, and a capital con trivance for fritterin g aw ay much ability and no small a mount of the public mone y s. In illusy tra!ion of our opinion upon this point, it may prove somewhat appropriate to apply to the argument before us a passage penned upon a very- different subject, namely upon the Civil Disabilities of the Jews, by no less distinguished a writer than the essayist, poet, and historian MACAULAY. It will be seen at once that in the subjoined paragraph our author has evidently taken as his text the somewhat hackneyed motto Ne sutor ultra crepidam. He says—" The points of difference between Christianity and Judaism have very much to do with a tnan's fitness to he a bishop or a rabbi; but they have no more to do i TBE SUN, with his fitness to be a magistrate, a legislator, or a • minister of finance, than with his fitness to be a cobbler. Nobody has ever thought of compelling cobblers to make any declaration on the true faith of a Christian. Any man would rather have his shoes mended by a heretical cobbler than by a person who subscribed all the Thirty-nine Articles, but had never handled an awl. Men act thus, not because they are indifferent to religion, but because they do not see what religion has to do with the mending of their shoes." Now the ap plication of this mode of reasoning in the present instance must be sufficiently obvious without any very elabo rate explanation. The knowledge of how to manage a vessel at sea, or of how to keep its crew in proper subordination, has surely no more to do with the science of ship-building than the belief in Judaism or in Christianity has to do with the skill or activity of a cobbler. And yet, perceptible, ridiculously perceptible as the truth of that assertion is, the authorities of the Admiralty now for some years past have appeared to consider otherwise. At any rate, whether they consider so or riot, they have unques tionably acted as if they considered otherwise. Of this the enormous disbursements required for the experi ments of SlMMorus and others in the cultivation of the science of naval architecture afford ample and most melancholy testimony. We would see this eccentric predilection for amateur performances in the way of shipbuilding replaced by a reasonable preference for the aptitude of men who have adopted that description of labour systematically from the outset as their pro fession. IVe would see the capabilities of the science developed by a wholesome and not merely an idle and speculative scheme of competi tion. 'We would see the risk and the respon sibility of expenditure, in the way of mere experi ments, transrerred at least now and then to the voluntary efforts of men capable of entering upon an honourable rivalry—a rivalry which would not only redound to their own credit, but would materially forward the interests of the naval service, while it would prevent any repetition of useless and unfortu nate extravagance on the part of the Government. Buth in the want of some proper arrange ment for the better manning of the British navy, and in the necessity for some less expensive and more effectual plan for the construction of its vessels, there is visible a great and importunate necessity. Let the authorities at the Admiralty recognise the existence of this necessity before the opportunity of rectifying matters them selves has passed altogether beyond the reach of thei r influence, devolving upon the energetic and practical civism of some non-professional Member of the Com mons House of Parliament. Promptitude is incumbent upon them if they are solicitous to retain within their own hands the privilege of naval jurisdiction. The Ulster Orangemen and their sympathisers continue with unabated malignity to grumble forth their slanders against Lord CLARENDON. Old and refuted lies are repeated with a circumstantiality of time and place which does infinite credit to their in genuity. A mere dull, common-place falsehood ex pressed in vulgar generalities was not found sufficient to stamp a clear-headed statesman with the gross folly and inconsistency of secretly arming the Irish Orangemen, and they have been compelled to " come it a little stronger." They have been obliged to re sort to the usual trick of adepts in misrepresentation to give the air of probability to their inventicns by a detail of minute particulars. It is now openly put forward by some of the Orange organs in Dublin, that the Orangemen were regularly drilled by some of her MAJESTY'S troops in a house in William street and in Whitefriars' Hall; an I it was arranged that they should receive a pass word to insure their recognition by the military on duty— " And that the signal for turning out' was to be com municated by the bell of St. Anne's Church tolling three distinct strokes, which signal was to be repeated there upon from the other parish steeples throughout the city. A Look was regularly kept, containing the names and addresses of the Oraugemen so organized, and an oath as administered to each on ri ceiving his arms and ec contrements. But this book has been, as Colonel l'hayre in his circular declares, abstracted, and is now nowhere to :)e found." And Lord CLARENDON, they aver, did all this in the teeth of his express directions to every functionary in Ireland to whom was intrusted the distribution of arms. We are called upon to believe that one of the ablest men that ever represented the QUEEN in Ire land entered into a secret combination with the low Orangemen of Dublin, and for what end ? Why should :to deal in any secret mystery with TRESHAM GREGG, and the silly brawlers of Whitefriara' hall ? If be could rely upon the loyalty of any of the Dublin Orangemen, surely he would be perfectly justified in supplying them, in common with every other loyal subjf ct in Ireland, with arms to be used in defence if the QUEEN and the laws. Their being Orange men would not at that time have justified the Lord- Lieutenant in excluding them as a body from the 'est of allegiance and loyalty, to which he had invited the well affected of all classes and creeds in Ireland. He would have been no more justified in refusing arms to the Orangeman who was vouched to him as a loyal subject than he would have been i❑ refusing them to the liberal Protestant, or the well disposed Catholic. Yet, in the teeth of this plain fact, the absurd tale is reiterated that the Viceroy secretly countenanced the mysterious drilling and organiza tion of the Dublin Orangemen, but, alas! the book that could have proved all this is nowhere to be found ; indeed we believe not, for in truth this black book had never " a local habitation" beyond the fertile brain of the reckless inventor of this egregious sbsurdity. But nobody beyond the murky precincts of an Orange lodge could give it the smallest credence. " The three strokes of St. Anne's bell' will appeal in vain to the senses of even the most credu lous beyond the dark porch of some Orange conclave. Now let us for a moment suppose that the Irish Government on an occasion when the country was threatened with rebellion did place confidence in the Orangemen eni their leaders, let us for the sake of argument suppose that the Government supplied them with arms to aid the authorities in maintaining order and crushing insurrection and disloyalty, let us suppose that they were sworn to use those arms in sup port of the military against the QUEEN'S enemies, would this justify them in turning these weapons againsttheir unoffending fellow-subjects? Would this justify them in using these arms to she-I innocent blood ? Are they to turn the arms with which they were entrusted to use against the rebellious and disaffected, against the peaceful subjects of the QUEEN ? Surely the old woman of seventy was no rebel, the playful child was no rebel, the pour demented being whose ikull was shattered was no rebel. If they obtained the QUEEN'S arms—as their organs assert they did— and used them for this unholy purpose, what does it prove but that they deceived the Government, be• trayed the trust reposed in them, and added duplicity to murder ? The argument of the Orangemen and their organs, if it mean anything, amounts to this, that Lord CLARENDON is answerable for the innocent blood shed on the 12th of July, because he supplied them with arms from the QUEEN'S armoury. If the Lord-Lieu tenant did this it would, no doubt, be a grave error. If he supplied these miscreants with arms and accoutrements, in order to indulge in insulting processions, and to parade, like a gang of ruthless bandits, through the country, spreading terror and devastation around, he would not only prove himself unfit for the high place, the arduous duties of which he has on all occasions so ably discharged, but he ought to be at once impeached for treason against the Con stitution and the laws. We entertain, however, little fear that he gave the smallest countenance to such atrocities ; and we believe that he will be able fully to crush these foul slanders on a fitting occasion, and before a proper tribunal. But the public have a deeper interest in this sub ject than the mere question between Lord CLARENDON and the Orangemen. It is now of minor importance whether the arms were supplied by Lord ItopEs or Lord CLARENDON. The purity of the administra tion of justice is at stake. The great and itnportant question, whether Ireland is still to be governed by and through a faction, or not, is in vo l ve d. These are questions which affect the interests of the c sh om ed m . un l i t ty-, bthloeopl of ublic concernsThetthoe kinnocent whetherhas beenmen can countenance scenes of massacre,and their high office to shield rnurdercrs from the ven geance of outraged law. These are the serious ques tions with which the public have to deal—these are the principles which that public requires Lord LONDON, CLARENDON to vindicate; his character demands no vindication. The absurdity of the Orange slanders carries with it its own refutation. These fanatics would seem to say :—" My Lord CL►RENDON, you gave us arms to aid in crushing rebellion, but our services were not required. The army and the police were found sufficient for the purpose ; you deprived us, by your timely and ever• getic measures, of the pleasure of shooting the Papists under corer of the QuEzses troops ; you must, therefore, allow us to indulge in a little sport on our own account by burning a few cabins, and shooting a few old women. You allowed us, my Lord, to march in grand procession, in 1848 ; true, the game was scarce in the route we then took, we had not much sport. On that occasion we were only able to get a stray shot or two at a Popish priest ; you did not appear angry then. Why, my Lord, should you visit us now, in 1849, with your displeasure, for merely wrecking a few houses and shooting a few beggarly Papists ?" These are the absurd arguments with which these insane bigots would attempt to justify the revolting atrocities of Dolly's Brae ; these are the fatuous puerilities with which the Irish Orangemen would presume to insult the common sense of the British empire. At this moment the Orangemen are sitting in secret conclave in Dublin, every moral cloaca in that wretched land has discharged its rnal-contents upon the metropolis. The evil spirits of the island are pent up within the walls of Leitrim House, whence is to issue the dread explosion that is to annihilate Lord CLARENDON as a statesman, and hurl him from his high office a disgraced and dishonoured man. But let not the members of the Leitrim House cabal delude themselves with the notion that they can, by insane resolutions, or furious invectives against Lord CLARENDON, shield themselves from public reprobation, while they avow themselves the abettors of the crimes of their bretheren of Castlewellan. They must purify themselves from the imputation of the blood of the innocent ere they can appear before the high court of public opinion with clean hands. The ravings of surpliced fanatics and furious bigots, who glory in such triumphs as Dolly's Brae, are but little calculated either to win public sympathy or dethrone a Viceroy. We believe many indiscreet but amiable persons have been seduced into the Orange Society. We have no doubt many young persons, otherwise ra tional and Christian, have, through curiosity, fashion, or the persuasion of friends, been drawn into the vortex of this absurd and mischievous mysticism. ' Now, we would seriously ask these persons, TVhat is the use of Orangeism ? It is useless as a system of defence—the laws are sufficient to secure the life, liberty, and property of every British subject. It cannot be based on the principles of the Christian re ligion—the faith of CHRIST repudiates the sword, and enjoins peace, and love, and charity, It is useless as a manifestation of loyalty—true alle giance requires not the aid of secret signs and pass words. Uses, it can have none, but, alas !it has many evils. It is the nursery of evil passions, it is a moral pestilence tainting the young Protestant mind of Ireland, spreading hatred and all uncharitableness through the land, disgracing religion by assuming its garb, and putting humanity to the blush by the re volting misdeeds of its misguided votaries. There can be no peace or hope for Ireland while such a nui sance is tolerated, and we hope one of the first acts of the Legislature will be to put an end to it for ever. ritE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Assembly on Tuesday discussed the proposition of M. ItAseAth, interdicting any banker from holding the office of Minister of Finance. The following is the report of the discussion, which was throughcut one scene of confusion : M. Raspail, jun., developed his amendment. He argued that any minister who chose to speculate at the Bourse could make large gains by using the intelligence hich he might receive in his official capacity.—(oh.) He meant nothing personal to any member of the pre sent Ministry.—(Loud laughter at this allusion to M. Fould.) There were honest folks in every station— A Voice—Even amongst the Reds. M. Raspail, jun.—There were honest folks i❑ every station, even amongst the Ministers. But was it to be supposed that a man accustomed to stock-jobbing could all at once renounce that practice because he became minister ?—(Enough ! enough !goonlgo on 1) He maintained that the minister would always remain banker. But the interests of the country were at stake, and something ought to be done in tte matter. Would it not be well to declare that an ex-banker could not be come minister until five years had elapsed from the time that he bad ceased to form part of the banking class ? (Loud interruption.) If that were not done, ministers ought to bn selected elsewhere. A Vice—From the Mountain, for instance ? (Laughter.) M. Raspail, jun.—Could not an instance be found where a minister had saved 1,500,000 E out of his salary of 100,0001.—(Loud int( rruptioa on the Right.) Voices—Wilt'? who? Name 1 name I The President—An attack like that cannot be allowed to pass unnoticed. (.3n the Rtht—Name, name, whom do you mean ? On the Lett—Go on, go on 1 The President— Twenty or thirty Ministers of Finance have quitted office with an unstained reputa tion. You cause a calumnious allegation to weigh on them all.—(Hear, hear.) On the Left—Do nut reply to these interruptions. The President—The ion. Gentleman must give some explanation, for we cannot allow—(tuterruption on the Left.) Al. Raspail, jun., had only spoken of a vague ro minisceLee. On tha Right—No, no 1 Not a word of thin was said. M. RaTail, jun. (turning towards the Right)— The Gentlemen at that bide could better tell the names than he-- On the Right—Order, order 1 You ar• an insolen fellow. The President—When whole classes aro attacked, they defend themselves by their own force against calumny; but when a person individualises, he ought to give names. On the Left—No, not On the light—Yes, 3 es! The President—You must give the name, or I sha: call you to order. _ Ou the Left—lt is downright tyranny. A Nlcrnber of the Extreme Lett here rose, and said something with great animation, which we could not catch. -- The President—By such vivacity, you encourage the Hon. Gcntleman to go still further. I call you to order. M. Bouizat—lt will be said next that no minister was ever guilty of peculation! A Voice on the Itight—We never belonged to the Provisional Uovernmcnt. M. Itaspail, jun.—When I refer to a reminiscence which I draw trom history, I am called to order. I submit to being so called to order. On the Right—Your history is calumny I The President—You are unable to state the fact. I formally declare it.—(Hear, hear.) Great agitation was hero manifested. Loud exclama tions were uttered on the Right, whilst on the Left we caught the words "Peculating Ministers—Teste— Cub:lres." M. Itaspail, jun.—l am really astonished that this question has raised such a tempest.—(Loud interrup• Lion.) _ _ _ The President—What, you insult a large portion of the Assembly, and you are surprised that they are in dignant I 6everal Members of the Right at the foot of the tri• bune, and amongst others M. Baze, cried out, " Name name I we insist on it." M. Raspail, jun. (with great apparent unconcern) — Contemporary history Oa the Right—No, no ! Name, name ! The President, to M. Raspail—lf you continue in the same strain, I shall consult the Assembly as to the pro priety of publicly censuring you.—(Applause.) M. Bac approached M. Raspail, and addressed some observation to him. M. de Panet spuke with energy to M. Bac. The President—l allow Hon. Gentlemen to ascend the tribune to discuss and not to insult.—(Great agitation, which lasted some time.) M. Raspail, jun.—l regret having alluded to a fact which has so moved the Assembly, when I could have cited others which could not have done so.—(On the Right—You cite no fact !) Can you forget the case of M. Teste ? Did he not yield to the solicitations of an ex-Minister of War and a banker ?—(Great agitation.) I cannot say if justice strikes the guilty in proportion to their position. Ido not think it does ; for we every day see poor devils condemned for a paltry theft, and sometimes Shen only intending to procure bread for their families.—(Violent murmurs.) The President—You attack everything, even what has bee is judged, and those who judged it ;—(Tumult on the Left.) M. Duct 6 —lt is you who attacked him just now. The Prest..?ent—l recommend M. Ducti to use les violence, or I must call him to order. On the Loft—lt was the Right who interrupted just now, and it was we whom the President called to order. The President—There was on the Right just now a legitimate indignation, and on the Left a violence with out example—an illicit support to a calumnious assertion —a struggle against the President himsolt when endea vouring to enforce order.—(Hear, hear.) M. Raspail, jan.—Was nut a letter found on the 24th of February at the Tuileries, in which I forget what King wrote to Louis Philippe: —" Your Ministers ma naged badly, else assuredly you would have realised millions of profit."—(Loud exclamations.) On the Right—lt is a lie ! Other Voices—lt is alike ridiculous and odious. The kresidens—.4)=2 for all, I WI ou the Five.

The Vienna journals announce the death of the notorious Prince lionENnoE, the miracle monger. The commission appointed by the Austrian Govern ment to revise the tariff has commenced its labours. The first reduction proposed is on iron, metals in general, china, and earthe a ware goods, glass, chemical productions, and raw material for manufactures. Gentleman to confine himself to a proper tone of dis cussion. M. Raspail, jun., then went on to argue on the facility of forming a ministry without including a banker amongst its members, and declared that by so doing the choice of the President of the Republic would not be any way circumscribed, since he had himself deslared in his works that he should take good care never to appoint a banker minister.—(Movement.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by calling on the Assembly to take the proposition into consideration.—(Marks of indigna tion on the Right.) M. de Leman jaquelin ascended the tribune amidst cries of "Do not reply." He merely intended, he said, to inform the Assembly of what had passed be fore the Cemmittee. M. Raspail, when invited to explain his views, answered, " I have not studied the question so as to be able to enter into any development.—(Laughter.) He added, " But it appears to me that a Minister of Finance can speculate at the Bourse more than any other." On the Left—Certainly; be is quite right. M. de Larochejaquelin—lle then cited the fact of 1,500,000 f. having been gained by a Minster of Finance. M. Raspail, jun.—l did not say a Minister of Finance. M. de Lerochejaquelin—l heard what the Hon. Gen tleman said, and I think that I CALI take on me to declare that he said a Minister of Finance. But since he now wi•hdraws that expression, i shall be content to take that of Minister. We called on M. Raspail to name the person, but he said nothing. On the Left—He acted quite right! On the Right—lt is shameful M do Larochejaquelin—M. Respell is a young man in political matters, but as he grows older he will learn that cne of the greatest evils in politics is to dissemi nate calumnies which he cannot prove.—(Hear, hear.) But ho ought to have taken a lesson from his own party, and remember that the Provisional Government chose two bankers, one after the other, for Ministers of Finance.—(Hear, hear.) Voices—M. Gamier Pages was no banker. M. de Rochejaquelin—No; but M. Goudchaux was, and after him M. Trouvo Chauvel.—(Hear, hear.) Was there anything to be said against these gentlemen? Cer tainly not. What M. Raspail proposes would not be a progress, but a backward step in the morality of the nation, for it would imply a doubt. It is natural that a Minister of Finance should be selected from amongst those who are best acquainted with financial matters, and consequently it was nothing wonderful to find a banker selected. The committee is unanimous in calling on you to reject the proposition. M. de Montebello—M. Raspail has brought to the tribune worse than a calumny.—(Movement.) It is permissible to believe that he reckoned on the disgust which ho would inspire ns with—(Hear, hear)—to escape all demands for explanation.—(Bear, hear.) But there is an assertion which I cannot allow to pass unno ticed—that which relates to a pretended letter from some sovereign to King Louis Philippe. I summon M. Respell to ascend the tribune and produce that letter, or at least to state its contents.—(Loud applause.) M. Respell, jun.—l have no answer to make to the last speaker—(Ab, ah)— hut I shall reply to the com mittee.—(No, no. Answer what relates to your calumny.) I cited a fact which is notorious. Every one knows it.—(Oh, oh.) From the Benches of the Committee—lt is a calumny. M. Raspail,jun.—l regret that M. de Lerochejaquelin should :imagine that I intended anything personal against the Minister of Finance.—(Oh, ob.) M. de Larocbejaquelin—l never said a word on the subject.—(Laughter.) On the Right—The letter, the letter! M. Raspail, jun.—He has mentioned that M. Trcuve Chauvel and M. Goudchaux were bankers; but I myself was the first to admit that other Ministers could also speculate at the Bourse. A Voice—Of 'shat use is your proposition, then ? (Llughter.) Voices on the Bight—The letter! the letter! M. Raspail then descended from the tribune in the midst of jeers and laughter. The President—The Hon. Gentleman admitting that he is unable to reply to the interpellations of the as sembly, I proceed to put to the vote the conclusions of the committee, recommending that the proposition shall not be entertained. The Assembly being consulted decided by an immense majority that the proposition should not be taken into consideration. The sitting was brought to a close at six o'clock. M. Burrs and his friends, the reactionaries, are doing the cause of liberalism infinite service in com ing forward as the defenders of MM. TESTS and CURIERES, and thus establishing a solidarite between the members of the reactionary party and these con victed criminals. ./Voseitur a soicis is a maxim we commend to the especial study of the constituents of M. DUPIN and of the other friends and abettors of M. TZSTB. Some of the jt,urnale, not satisfied with the dismissal from the army of M. PIERRE BONA PARTE, demand that he shall he brought to a court martial for having quitted his post without orders. It is said that M. PIERRE BONAPARTE is about to publish a justification of his conduct. The -Voniteur publishes a list of twenty prefects who are removed or displaced. It is said that M. FouLD is about to retire from office, in consequence of the desire expressed by the PRESIDENT of the Republic to continua the abolition of the tax upon potable liquors. At the commencement of the sitting of the As sembly yesterday M. CRENIIEUX expressed a wish to know es hethsr the Government intended to afford any assistance to those who were wounded in the re volution of February, w hen M. SEGUR D'AcuussEau remarked that those who were the most worthy of assistance were the municipal guards who were attacked on that occasion. These observations gave rise to the most violent outburst from the Mountain, and for an hour the Chamber was the scene of the most uproarious tumult, and several Members of the Left were called to order by name. M. BERTIIOLIN reproached the President with being the tool of this majority, instead of acting as the president of a Republican Assembly.—(Cries of Vice la Republique" and "A bat les factieux" were raised ) Atter order had been restored, the Chamber proceeded to discuss the Bill relative to the naturaliza tion of foreigners, the discussion on which possessed nothing of interest.

The Prussian Shuts Anzeiger publishes the fol• lowing notice from the Minister of Commerce : " Merchants have been officially informed of the prin ciple adopted by Government relative to the treatment of merchandise bearing a ticket in the English language and destined for importation into or transit through England. Hence all labels are prohibited which would give the merchandise the appearance of having an Eng lish origin—such as the arms of England, the initials of the Queen of England, the name of English manufac turers or of English manufacturing districts; but that the English language may be used on labels to indicate the quality of the merchandise, and to express technical phrases which are used in England to designate cer tain kinds of merchandise. " It appears from an official communication from the English Government, under date of October 10, that those principles have undergone a new modification. By this all merchandise bearing only labels indicat ing their quality in the English language, shall no longer be admitted without conditions , e ither for im portation or in transit ; they shall be admitted only when accompanied by the name and residence of the foreign manufacturer, and an inscription in a language not English, which shall obviate every doubt as to their origin. If these conditions are not complied with, the merchandise from which the English label may be torn off shall be returned free ; that from which it can not be torn off shall be sent back to the port whence it Came. " All merchandise, in regard to which fraud is evident shall be confiscated." The same journal publishes the answer made in the sitting of the Council of Administration on the 17th, by the Prussian Plenipotentiary, to the declarations of Saxony and Ilanover. Prussia persists in her resolution to summon the Diet, and protests that the projects of those two kingdoms would have no other result than to postpone indefinitely the union of Germany. It is said that the Prussian Government has sent a Minister to Copenhagen with powers to attempt a settlement of the affairs of the Duchies of Schleswig- Holstein. The New Prussian Gazette says that for some days past the workmen engaged on the canal of the gate of Silesia repair to their work armed with carbines, and that at night persons are seen walking the streets carrying arms, and with colours wound round the shafts of halberds. The Democrats are supposed to possess 12,000 guns. The Frassiau Minister of War has proposed the SAXE-GOTI-lA. Prince ALBERT has protested against the resolution of the Chamber declaring all the domains of the Ducal family the property of the country, and settling upon the reigning DUXE a civil list in exchange for them. BADEN. It is said that the Grand DuLe of BADEN intends :o abdicate in favour of his second son. HOLLAND. SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES GENERAL. TIIE HAGUE, Nov. 19.—1 n the sitting held this day Messrs. VAN HOEVELL and VAN nuaisTa.E, who have been re-elected, took their seats, after having taken the oath prescribed by the fundamental law. A project of law was presented for granting the ne cessary sums for providing for the expenses resulting from the conversion of the Deferred Debt and Trea sury Bonds into the national debt. The project was referred to the sections. _ _ The Chamber then proceeded to the formation of the list of five candidates to be presented to the KING for his selection of a Minister of the high Court of the Netherlands, occasioned by the vacancy caused by the death of the Councillor of State, M. NOIRET PE BRUIGN. The gentlemen proposed were —M. EVERTZ, M. SCIIMOLCK, M. VAN YSSELSTEIN, M. VAN HASSELT, and M. ASSER. This list is to be presented to the KING by a com mittee appointed by the Chamber. The Minister of Finance communicated to the Chambers the result of the fresh revision to which the Ministry had subjected the budget of 1850, al ready presented to the Chamber, and of the modifica tions which they had introduced into it. The Minister stated that the budget ought to be taken immediately into deliberation by the Chamber, as the changes introduced into it were very minute, and the time allowed for the discussion, before the close of the year, being so short.— Staats Courant.

The Post-office London Directory has now been in existence upwards of half a century. From small beginnings it has gone on year by year improving until this, the fifty-first annual impression, which is incontestably superior to its predecessors, and which may be considered as near an approach to perfection as it is perhaps possible to attain in a work of this description. The Post office London Directory for 1850 extends to 2,091 pages, and consists of no less than twelve separate directories, under the heads of the Official, the Street, the Commercial, the Trades, the Law, the Court, the Parliamentary, the Postal, the City, the Conveyance, the Banking, and the As surance Directories. The Official Directory at once indicates the posi tion of every public employe. The Street Directory furnishes the names of the residents in each street or place; this being the only work that has ever even attempted to include in one general list the nobility and gentry as w ell as the merchants, professional men, traders, and tradesmen of the metropolis and its immediate environs. The Commercial Directory has all these latter in complete alphabetical order, while the nobility and gentry will be found in similar arrangement in the i Court Directory. The Trades Directory exhibits all the members of each of the two thousand trades classified distinctly— the sub-divisions of each being suitably distinguished. The Law Directory is devoted to the classifica tion of the members of the profts!-ion, together with the general legal matters appropriate to a work of this character; while the Parliamentary Directory furnishes all requisite information as to Peers and Members of Parliament, and as to their town resi dences and country seats. The Postal Directory gives full instruction on the subject of money orders, and of the transmission of letters and newspapers to all parts of the world. The Conveyance Directory is devoted to the important subject which its title indicates, as are the Banking and Assurance Directories. The proprietors of this, the most useful and most accurate Mirror of the Metropolis of the World that has ever been presented to the public, are well justified in making it their boast that— " Such a mass of facts of this particular description was never presented to the public until in the pages of the Post-office London Directory; and unceasing efforts have been devoted to secure, not merely a large amount of information, but such an arrangement, condensation, and classification, that any desired part of this large volume may be referred to without difficulty." As a proof of the desire of the proprietors to keep this work always au niveau des connaissances actuelles, and as an instance of the manner in which they have redeemed their pledge to the public, to furnish on every occasion the latest and most accu rate information, we may remark that the names of the present Earl of Albemarle, of the present Lord Alvanley (who has not succeeded to the peerage above a week), and of the new Member for Cork, Colonel Chatterton, who was not elected until the 15th of November instant, are given in their proper places in the Post-office London Directory. Not only is the in formation contained in this work most ample and most accurate., but it is arranged in such an admirably clear and succinct manner, that a reference can at once be made with the greatest facility to any por tion which may be desired. It is not going too far to say that this is far and away the best book of the sort ever presented to the public. As might have been expected, the great and most deserved suc cess of the Post office London Directory has induced several persons to attempt to vend spurious imitations of it; and, in order to guard the public against fraud, we give th©m the following extract from the preface, in which the proprietors allude to these attempts at imposition : " The great success which has attended these efforts has induced the belief that it is only necessary to announce a book to contain several Directories,' and taking the titles of some of the sub-divisions of this work, as ' Street Directory,' 'Parliamentary Directory,' 'Banking Directory,' Official Directory,' &c. &c. &c., in order to ensure a sale ; and in conse quence, a year now seldom passes without some experiment of the kind. There has been no instance of any one of these ephemerals surviving the year of its production, or, indeed, of being, in the ordinary sense of the word, published, or even announced in the newspapers. The circulation is always as secret as possible, aad limited to those who have been induced to order' the book, and who, on scrutinizing, after having paid for it, are disappointed that it is not the one they had expected. " These abortive experiments do no injury to the Post office London Directory; probably, indeed, to the small extent to which they offer a contrast, the opposite effect is produced. Still it may be well for the public that the facts should be known." In: the case of such a volume, produced but once a year, mere cost must always be quite secondary to fulness of information and accuracy of arrangement; still, it may not be entirely irrelevant to direct attention to the fact ;that, taking its bulk only, and without reference to the general typographical and other arrangements, it is by far the cheapest book which issues from the English press. I?UDIMENTARY DICTIONARY of TERMS used in Architecture, Civil, Architecture, Naval, Building and Construction, Early and Ecclesiastical Art, Engineering, Civil, Engineering, Mechanical, Fine Art, Mining, Surveying, 6-c. By John Weale. This is a most useful book of reference; the expla nations are clear and lucid, and the dicticriary contains, we believe, every term used in construe• tive Art. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. C.l7'Y, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales cf Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es timated at 6,000 baks, including 2,000 Am :rican on speculation; and comprised 4,500 American, at 51d to 7d., 150 Pernam and Maranham, at bid. to 74d, 300 Bahia, at 6i- 1. to 60., 100 Egyptian, at 70. to 7id., and 400 Surat, at 4id. to 44d. per lb. Tne market closed rather tamely, and, compared with Friday's rates, prices of American were id. to id. lower, and Brazil and Egyptian, Railway Shares declined consi derably. The colonial produce markets are not very lively, and the accounts from India advise us of the probability of large supplies of sugar from the Mauritius. It may be interesting to note that a report was read at a meeting of the City of London Board of Guardians held this week upon the subject of the smoke nuisance, and which stated that coke was not found to be of suffi cient strength for the fire apparatus, and to prevent the smoke from being a nuisance to the neighbourhood a shaft twenty feet higher should be added. Accounts from Amsteidam . give Tuesday's quotation for Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 531, and Spanish Three per Cents. 27 1-16. REDUCTION OF DISCOUNT. At the Bank of England parlour meeting held this morning, the determination has been come to of re ducing the rate of discount. It is now 21 per cent. on the best bills. The Funds have been very buoyant again in the anti cipation of the measure adopted by the Bank of Eng land Directors. Consols have ranged from 94i to 94i The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, have been 934 to 94, and the Three per Cents. 931 to I. Exchequer bills have been 50s. and 475. premium. In the Foreign Market the principal feature has been an active business in Spanish Bonds, upon the informa tion that the Government at Madrid is likely to accom plish a saving of two millions per annum in the expen diture. The Three per Cents. have been 361 to 4. Portuguese Four per Cents are nominally 33 to 34. Mexican Bonds are 264 to 27. Brazil Stock is worth 85.
