LONDON, THURSDAY, TANUARY 31, 1856. _~~~- Never was the assembling of Parliament more opportune than at this moment. Questions of deep, almost of vital, importance are under dis cussion, and it is indeed fortunate that the chosen Representative s of the People will have so auspici ous ~an opportunity of expressing their opinions and those of the parties through whose favour they are invested with the honourable and arduous duty. It might have happened that the all-important•negotiations would occur during the recess, or at such a distance that they could only condemn arrangements, that had be en improvidently entered into that all they could have effected would be expressed by the trite adage of " Shutting the stable, door after the steed had been stolen." But happily this is not the case in the present instance. The "Holt cloud " has not as yet passed from th e face of the moon, and there is abundant time to prevent arrangements that might entail very serious consequences OR the nation. It is an old Ministerial trick, one that we have repeatedly and unsparingly exposed, to assert that any in quiries are premature until every arrange ment .has been completed, and the matter has been accomplished. Then it is too late to express an opinion ! Parliament must be contented to sanction that which is irrevocable. It may be very convenient for Ministers if they can induce either branch of the Legislature thus to abdicate its functions, and to be satisfied with merely re gistering the decrees of the Government. This would unquestionably b e i n accordance with the German models 36t up for • • English imitation• butit is not con 0 113.1 v genial to the B r i t i sh 0 r 4 111,10 D, THE SUN. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 3l, 1856. for which our progenitors have so often struggled, and which they sustained under the most adverse circumstances. Any plea of "convenience" should be promptly and decisively repelled by those who, for the time being, should be the faithful and vigilant guardians of popular rights and privi leges. There should be neither a civil nor a military armistice until a final and satisfactory peace—if that be possible had been con cluded. Until that event it will be not only the privilege and the duty of every member to elicit complete information on every point, but to prevent, to the best of his abilities, any result which he may consider injurious either to the honour or the interests of their country. We are told by a morning contemporary that Honourable Gentlemen should " refrain from thwarting in London what is doing in Paris," from " carrying the spirit of free discussion into regions where for a time, at least, the public in terest imperatively requires that they should not penetrate." We earnestly and emphatically pro test against this slavish doctrine, which may be suited for a despotic clime, but not for the British atmosphere. So far from freedom of speech and of action being injurious under existing circum stances, it offers the only prospect of escaping creditably from the serious difficulty in which we are involved. Let the voice of popular opinion be audibly proclaimed in the Imperial Palace of Westminster, and it will reverberate through all the Cabinets of Europe and of the world, and secure for Great Britain the respect which is not now obtained. Our Transatlantic brethren do not allow themselves to be thus gagged, and their freedom of speech does not lead to any untoward consequences ; on the contrary, it insures the objects which they wish to have effected. It abates what may be termed social nuisances, the sinister intrigues which irresponsible parties may be disposed to carry on for their own private purposes, but not for the benefit of the community. If any objection be raised, the answer is ready—We are free-born Englishmen, not Russian or German serfs ; we are governed for our own benefit, not for that of foreign rela tions 1 We wish to follow the example of "Uncle Si"A rather than of " Uncle LEOPOLD." It may be very well to ask for " generous forbearance ;" but our representatives must be far more simple than their constituents bargained for if they evince it in a matter in which the safety, honour, and welfare of their SOVEREIGN and her people are so deeply staked, as in the forthcoming negotiations. Great is JOHN BRIGHT of Manchester ! But greater, in our opinion, are the people of England, and between the two we must all make choice. We have long made ours, and cannot repent of it. If, however, we are, as Mr. BRIGHT declares, but one of the modern four hundred lying pro phets who are the veritable antitypes of those who, at SATAN'S instigation, _counselled AHAB to go up to Ramoth Gilead to battle, of course it were vain to expect repentance of such judicially-hardened sinners. Mr. BRIGHT must be thankful that he tenders his advice to no Eastern despot, other wise, since he claims, in contrast to the lying Press, to represent in his own person the faithful MICAIAH, the sou of lA/LAI! ' " he would surely have been fed, like a faithful prophet, " with the bread and water of affliction." His only affliction now has been—political insignificance. Afflictive diet this, no doubt, for an eloquent Leaguer ; it has obviously been rather difficult of digestion, and may account for his sending the whole Press of England literally to the -, (but we refrain from quoting too closely.) Soma people may presume to question whether Micaiah, the Member for Manchester, bad enjeyed. any such special revelation as that vouchsafed to the Hebrew prophet ; no such doubt crosses his mind. He has lifted up his eyes, and behold he sees the lying spirit inspiring all the journals, and all the inhabitants of England scattered on the moun tains as sheep having no shepherd. Rumour speaks of a Manchester penny journal to be pub lished in London, which is even to eject the Times from its throne. As it is designed to con front and rebuke the universally lying papers, we should suggest that its Manchester godfathers bap tise it after their Member by the name of " Meaner ; or, the Lying Prophets Rebul,A. Price Id." Clie Peelites and the Society of Friends will take some thousands daily fur gratuitous distribution. It were wearisome work to debate the question with our MICAIAII whether our utterances have all been wrong and his alone right. We cannot fuel much interest in convicting him of error when none of our readers believe him. We can all stand and listen to tie rushing torrent of his peculiar eloquence with interest, but it dashes by, and all is over. It has modified no conviction. We perceive that the speaker could, had his passions been en listed on the other side, been equally fluent and vehement. One instance of his violation of all fair ness may be sufficient. He laboured to show that the present Five Points were no advance on the Four Points of last year. Now we have our selves been ready enough to expose their insuffi ciency, and to skew how miserably they fall short of our fair demands, even in the present position of things. Yet even we have never denied that the difference is substantial and great ; if carried out honestly very gre tt. If the Black Sea ports are dismantled, if Nicolaieff follow Sebastopol as a naval arsenal, if a fleet of frigates be reduced to a few light vessels for each Power, if the Aland Isles be neutralised, these things, added to the cession of Bessarabia and the Swedish Treaty, are surely a very different thing to the Four Points of last year. They include, moreover, the great difference that Russia is now compelled to confess defeat. Before the fall of Sebastopol GORTSCHAKOFF wrote "our fortifications suffer"—and before the Conferences the EMPEROR'S journal wrote efficially, that the " threatening aspect of the coalition," and the "sacrifices which continuance of the War will impose on Russia," are her reasons for not delaying to accede to the proposed terms. No dissatisfaction with the terms will prevent honest naen from perceiving that the difference is great. Mr. BRIGHT'S lengthy illustrations of the cost and the miseries of the War were effectually answered by General THOMPSON, who avowed that he did "like to see something like a general police in Europe, which should do as we did when we heard of thieves in Market-street, put them down, not saying that because we lived in St. Ann's-square we had nothin g to do with the matter." The question of war was simply the one of whether territorial burglary should con tinue to be the course of Russia, or should cease for ever in Europe. With much said at the meet ing on the mismangement of the War, and the base counsels which attacked the Crimea only, in stead of Poland also, we, of course, heartilyconeur. We believe the chief reason why peace is cow clutched at by all the Statesmen of the occasion, is their fears lest another campaign must bring them into Poland ; and then the dirty interests of Germany in Polish slavery would, of course, be touched. We have but too often had to insist on the reluctance of our statesmen to aim at noble soul-stirring ob jectszee d t o h r n o o w t n o n a w t h a y a t . il t .e W h ar a , ye bu d t in the pre a s n en account thick Russia has received a military check which will surely curb her ambition in that line for long to come ; and there is much reason to hope that the tens of thousands of her martyred serfs are mar tyrs not only to the madness of their CZAR, but to the future commercial civilisation of their country. Thrown upon the course of internal improvement by the rebuke of this War, Russia may become deeply pledged to peace as the largest exporting country for raw material of Europe. The Manchester and Peelite party are no doubt well pleased to enter on a peace-making rather than a war sessions of Parliament. We shall have them furious with our Cabinet for every firm de mand. They will lament over every port and arsenal which Russia is called on to demolish= over every efficient guarantee required of her. They will probably cabal to overturn Lord PAL MERSTON'S Cabinet if it first makes the best peace attainable with the present preliminaries, and then watches sedulously that they are complied with to the letter. There is one motion, however, which Mr. BRIGHT ought himself to bring forward at the earliest period. He entertained his audience on Monday with the whole history of the rise and progress of our National Debt, compared it with the trivial one of the United States (only omitting the nu merous heavy debts of the several Sovereign States), and predicted the sad consequences of the addition of 100,000,0001. more to ours. If he be honest, let him then move " that an address be presented to her MAJESTY, informing her that no peace will be acceptable to this country which does not include the repayment by Russia of the entire expenses of the War." " The loss of Calais will be found engraven on my heart." The language of an English Queen, to whom, among other possessions of her royal sires, the custody of that English stronghold in France had descended by inheritance. " The loss of Calais will be found engraven on my heart." With such bitter royalty of feeling did she regard that apparently disastrous event. It was a wo manly sentiment the words conveyed ; for the speaker was of the right royal race of the TUDORS. What will history have to record of the fall of Kars ? The loss over which she pondered, it is true, was the loss of part of her inheritance ; but the grief that weighed at her heart was for her sul lied renown. Kars never formed a part of the British territories ; but it was the key of the finest possessions of our Ally the Turk, and he had confided the vindication of his rights and the safety of his territories to the direction of his Allies, and they suffered him to lose so important a stronghold, How bitterly he may ponder over the event, we are unable to say, but the fall of Calais was not more disgraceful to the royal Tudor than the fall of Kars is to the Allies, and more especially the British Government. Into the secrets of royalty we have little desire to penetrate, but we make bold to say that the British nation is stirred to its depths by that crowning disaster of the War, and chafes with universal bitterness of feeling over it. Hitherto Her Majesty the QUEEN has been celebrated for her sympathy with her people, and in the insti tution and vigorous prosecution of a real and not sham inquiry into the fall of Kars, we are pre pared to recognise an equal share on her part in their present regrets, and resolution to have the secret causes of the disaster anatomised, and ren dered palpable to observation. As we all but too well know the prosecution of the War, if prosecution it can be called, had won us little honour, though it had eost us much treasure and blood. The dread artillery of our fleets, bef4e one-half of which in olden times all opposition had succumbed, had been paraded almost as innocuously as a "raw head" before the unintimidated foe. The inadequacy of our preparation to meet assault, and the rottenness of our military system, had been laid bare to the whole world. We had struck up an alliance with an old enemy—our enemy, we trust, no longer— as it were but to show him what a bugbear it was that France had held in awe. Our commanders had demonstrated their utter want of scientific generalship, and our Statesmen, up to the advent of the present Premier, the shallowness of their heads the hollowness of their hearts, and the, wanton exaction of their hands. Sinope grimly upbraided our supineness. Odessa stood a monu ment of our folly. Inkerman glowed with the needlessly spilt blood of our heroes. The exhala tions of thousands of our gallant dead rose dreadly before Sebastopol ; and the curses of the Princi palities thronged in our ears. The tribes of the Caucasus waxed impatient for the kicking of the beam. Persia was quick with treachery, and the naval powers of the North looked on for an opportunity to strike home at our foe. Nothing but one-half of Sebastopol, a few easy captures, the proved devotion of our men, soldiers and sailors, testified to our present great ness as an offensive Power, and but hurried prepara tions, whatever their magnitude, to the immensity of our resources, when the defence of -Kars be came the theme of every tongue —a defence glo riously conducted by one of our countrymen in the teeth of every conceivable obstacle, and in which he had received no aid, though he had eagerly sought for it. But little exertion was re quired. An efficient force could have been sent to raise the siege and relieve the exhausted strength of its half-starved defenders ; but none was sent, and Kars fell, a prey to famine rather than the sword, laying open Syria itself to the march of the Muscovite invader, and avenging , the ruins of Sebastopol. The nation may be ex- 1 cured for having entertained the strongest desire for the rescue of Kars on all eoaceivable grounds, i and for being sorely disappointed and ag grieved by its fall. Surely it has a right to be informed of " the reason why," and resolutely to insist on being so. Right or not, it will. 1 law in Great Britain and in Ireland will. be pro posed to you, which will, I doubt not, receive your attentive consideration. Upon these and all other matters . upon which you may deliberate, I fervently pray that the blessing of Divine Providence may favour your councils, and guide them' to the promotion of the great object of my unvaroing solicitude, the wel fare and the happiness of my people. At the conclusion of the reading of the Speech her Majesty and suite left the house. Their L'rdships then adjourned till five o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY GOSSIP. It is said that Mr. Roebuck will move an amend ment to the Address. The rumour OI the intention of Ministers to ad journ Parliament for a fortnight is without any foundation.—Post. THE CONFERENCES-OP PARIS. The Conferences of Paris will open as speedily as possible. 'The protocol of Vienna, which records the accepta ace of the Austrian proposals by Russia, and providos for the opening of the Conferences, stipulates that they shall meet within three weeks at latest from the signature of the protocol. The only delay which is likely to arise may be caused by the shortness of the time thus allowed to the special Turkish Envoy, who will have to travel the long jowl ley from Constantinople to Paris.—Post. OPENIN G PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(This Day.) Owing to the stirring events of the past year connected with the war in which we are at present engaged, and the probability of peace being con cluded sooner than was anticipated, the opening of the present session of Parliament has been eagerly looked forward. to ; and an intense inte rest manifested by all classes of her Majesty's sub jects as to the future course to be adopted by the Ministry in bringing to a termination the present war, in the course of which, notwith standing the difficulties our troops have had to contend with, they have shown that indomitable courage and bravery in the field which have ever attended the British arms, and by which they have been so many times victorious in the present war over numbers far exceading their own. The weather was very cold, and the sky much overcast, occasional flakes cf snow falling during the earlier part of the morning, yet a large con course of persons had assembled along the line of route from Buckingham Palace to the House of Lords, to obtain a sight of her Majesty as she proceeded to open the present eventful session, and who greeted her with enthusiastic cheers of loyalty and affection ; but we regret to add that his Royal Highness Prince Albert did not receive so cordial a reception as ho has received on former occasions. The attendance of Peeresses and ladies in the magnificent chamber of the Legislature was greater than on any former occasion within our recollec tion—every available seat, whether in the body of the house or in the galleries, being occupied. The members of th e corps d4)lomatique occupied seats at the back of the Ecclesiastical bench. The attendance of the'respective Foreign Courts was very large. The Lord Chancellor took his seat on the wool sack at half-past one o'clock. Her Majesty entered the House of Lords shortly after two o'clock, amidst a flourish of trumpets and a salvo of artillery. The house presented at this time a most brilliant and animated appearance, owing to the beauty of the ladies and the brilliancy of their attire, the colours and rays of which were of every huo that the eye can conceive of, and being most tastefully, almost artistically, interspersed, had a most pleasing effect. Her Majesty having graciously requested the assembly to be seated, commanded the Usher of the Black Rod to summon the members of the House of Commons. The Speaker, attired in Lis robes, shortly after appeared at the bar of the house, attended by a great number of members. HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH. The Lord Chancellor then handed the Speech to the Queen, which was as follows : My LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, Since the close of the last Session of Parliament, the arms of the Allies have achieved a signal and important success. Sebastopol, the great strong hold of Russia in the Black Sea, has yielded to the persevering constancy and to the daring bravery of the Allied forces ? The naval and mili tary preparations for the ensuing year have neces sarily occupied my serious attention ; but while determined to omit no effort which could give vigour to the operations of the war, I have deemed it my duty not to decline any overtures which might reasonably afford a prospect of a safe and honourable peace. Accordingly, when the Emperor of Austria lately offered to myself and to my august Ally the Emperor of the French, to employ his good offices with the Emperor of Russia, with a view to endeavour to bring about an amicable adjustment of the matters at issue between the contending Powers, I consented, in concert with my Allies, to accept the offor thus made, and I have the satisfaction to inform you that certain conditions have been agreed upon which I hope may prove the foundation of a gene ral treaty of peace. Negotiations for such a tray will shortly be opened at Paris. In conducting those neptiations I' shall be careful not to lose sight of the objects for which the War was undertaken ; and I shall deem it right in no degree to relax my naval and mili tary preparations until a satfactory Treaty of Peace shall have been concluded. Although the War on which I am en gaged was brought on b 7 events in the South of Europe, my attention has not been withdrawn from the state of things in the North, and, in conjuncion with the Em peror of the French, I have concluded, with the King of Sweden and Norway, a Treaty contain ing defensive engagements applicable to his Do minions, and tending to the p:eservation of the balance of power in that part of Europe. I have also concluded a Trcaiy of Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation with the Republic of Chili. I have given directions that these Treaties shall be laid before you. GENTLEMEN OF TIIE HOUSE OF COMMONS, The Estimates for the ensuing year will be laid before you. You will find them framed iu such a manner as to provide for the exigencies of War, if Peace should unfortunately not be concluded. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, It is gratifying to me to observe that, not withstanding th e pressure of the War, and the burthens and sacrifices which it has unavoidably imposed upon my people, the reso irces of my Em pire remain un i mpaired. I rely with confidence on the manly spirit and enlightened patriotism of my loyal subjects for a continuance of that support which they have so nobly afforded me, and they may be assured that I shalt not call upon them for exertions beyond what may be required by a due regard for the great interests, the honour, and the dignity of the Empire. There are many subjects connected with inter nal improvement which I recommend to your attentive consideration. The differencewhich exists in several important particulars between the Commercial Laws of Scotland and those of the other parts of the United Kingdom, has occasioned inconvenience to a large portion of my subjects engaged in trade.

Shortly after that hour the Deputy-Usher of the Rack Rod appeared at the bar, and sum moned the members to the House of Lords to hear her Majesty's most gracious Speech from the Throne. The Speaker, in obedience to the command, left the chair, and, attended by nearly all the members present, proceeded to the bar of the Home of Lords. After an absence of about ten minutes the Spezker returned, and again resumed the chair. The House then adjourned till a quarter before four o'clock, THE RUGELEY MURDERS. Court of Queen's Bench—(This Day.) (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Campbell, Justices Coleridge, Wightman, and Crampton.) THE QUEEN V. MR. PALMER-THE RUGELEY MURDERS. Mr. James, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins appeared on the part of Mr. Dean, solicitor, in the prosecution in two of the murders charged against the prisoner —that of his wife and brother—to sh ,, w cause against the issuing the writ of certiorari obtained in the case on Tuesday last. Mr. Huddleston and Mr. Scotland appeared for the relatives of Mr. Cook, a!so to show cause against the rale. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Gray supported the rule. Mr. ; James, in the absence of the Attorney-General, said that from a communication he had had from the latter learned gentleman it was not his intention to make any opposition to the issue of the writ if their lordships thought it ought to issue, because it could not be doubted that at Stafford and its neighbourhood gnat excitement prevailed, and the Crown were of opinion it would be safer both for the prosecution and the prisoner that the trial should not take place at Stafford. Mr. Huddleston opposed the issuing the rule, not, he said, from any factious motives, but fr ,In the difficulties which he said surrounded the application and the want of jurisdiction of the Court, both of which he explained. Lord i Catnpbell said the question the court had to de termine was whether two certioraris should issue—one to the coroner, to return the inquisitions, and another to the assizes, to return to the court any indictments that might be found. He was of opinion that in this case the ends of justice required it should be done. His lordship said he hoped that, pending the trial, no further public discussion would take place on this case. It was most improper to do so, and was much to be deprecated, and if it could be proved that it was done with an improper motive the parties so offending would be liable to punishment. Rule made absolute. LATEST NEWS. VIENNA, WED - NI:AU Y.

The majority in Paris continue to believe in peace, and too many forget the vast sacrifices France has made, and the great interests which are at stake. The funds are still disposed to rise, owing to the confidence which large speculat ors Dave in the pacific issue of the approaching Con ferences. ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. --An accident, ce:tiinly not of a serious description, occurred yesterday morning about 1 o'clock, by the down:goods train getting off the line, or break down, a few miles south of Warrington. The down mail train, which followed somewhat quickly, was con sequently detained until the luggage was got away. We believe no injury to life or limb was sastained by any one. The cause of the accident was not made known. THE LATE ACCIDENT IN THE MEDWAY.—On Tuesday a third body was discovered in the river Medway, near Sheerness, which, upon being taken to Broaapton Bar racks, was identified as that of Ensign Bettina, East India Company's Engineers. To-day the body will be interred at Gillingham, with military honours. STRANGE CASE OF STUPIDITY.--A gentleman, whose name it is at present unnecessary to mention, yesterday lost 2001. in the following singular manner :—He went into one of the local banks to deposit about 4001., of which 2001. was in notes, and the remainder in gold and silver. While engaged in counting the gold ho placed the notes on the counter beside him ; a person standing near, the bank being crowded at the time, touched him on the shoulder, and, on his looking round, called his attention to the beautiful effect of the decorations of the ceiling. The gentleman looked up, in obedience to this kindly suggestion, and, having fully admired the artistic effect, looked down again. His feelings underwent a very disagreeable change when he discovered that his notes and his polite acquaintance had both disappeared. Every inquiry after the notes was in vain ; they had positively disappeared, and the admirer of ornamental architecture was likewise gone, No trace whatever of the notes or the person who is presumed to have taken them has yet been discovered.—Liverpool Daily Timm. THE STEAMER BELGlQUE.—Southampton, Jan. 30. In accordance with the request of the Mayor, the com mander of the Belgique, Capt. Tack, accompanied by the Belgian consul at this port (ilr. Lefevre), attended before the magistrates this morning. Mr. E. A. Smith, Government officer, Mr. Pocock, solicitor, and several of the passengers were also present. In the course of conversation Mr. Lefevre said that inquiries had been prematurely made, and until a survey of the vessel had taken place the captain could not say whether the pas sengers would proceed to New York by the Belmie or not. It was the intentipn to have the cargo got out as soon as possible, when an examination of the ship would immediately take place. The company were pre pared to take care of the passengers on board in the interim. Mr. Pocock said that the passengers compiained of the want of comfort in the ship, and that they could not sleep on board, One of the officers of the ship was com pelled to sleep at an hotel in the town, being ill from the bad accommodation on board the vessel. What the passengers required to know was whether or not an ar rangement could be made for them to sleep on shore. Capt. Tack said that he had received no complaint from any of the passengers with regard to the sleeping ac commodation since the vessel had been in dock, or he would, if necessary, have made other arrangements. A passenger here stated that, in consequence of the hatches being kept open all night at each end of their portion of the ship, the draught was very great. In fact, it was sufficient to kill either man or beast. He had asked for redress, but could not get it. It was true he had not gone to the captain, but-he had made complaints to the officers. After further conversation Capt. Tack promised that the sleeping accommodation of the passengers should be improved, and Mr. Lefevre having stated that a survey would be made by Saturday, the magistrates postponed further inquiry until that day week. THE LATE MURDER NEAR BuRNOPFIELD.—We a short time ago stated that 501, reward was offered fcr the recovery of the watch stolen from the person of Mr. Robert Sterling, who was murdered near;Burnopfe'd, on the Ist of Novernbsr la-t. Since the appearance of that paragraph, Major White, tie chief constable cf the county of Durham, has received a letter from Messrs J. and W. Todd, of Glasgow, correcting a mistake made in the former description of the watch. As this inad vertent error on the part of the watchmakers may, have been the cause of the hitherto unsuccessful endeavours of the police to recover the lost watch, the corrected de scription is herewith annexed, which is taken from an exactly similar watch f urn i s h e d b y t h e Messrs.

In the meantime, other journals certainly will not hesitate to publish this communication, which exceeds the most pacific hopes that had been entertained, and has caused the greatest joy here, where no one anticipated the possibility of so speedy a peace.. The dearness of provisions and the distress, which every day increases, udded to the exhaustion of the finances, will have mainly contributed to the resolution which has been come to. I have already mentioned the last ukase relative to the finances. According to that decree, the total amount of the treasury bonds bearing interest in circulation is now, 85 millions of silver roubles (340 millions of francs), whereas, in 1843, it was only 60 millions (240 millions of francs.) The amount of paper money which does not bear inte rest cannot be so easily calculated. At the end of 1844 it amounted to 336 millions of roubles, and is now calculated to amount to 400 millions. To the above must be added the last loan of 50 mil lions. The winter season has not been very ani mated this year.

Prince Augustus of Wurtemberg has arrived here from Berlin." GOVERNMENT AND BANK NOTES. M. DE LAMARTINE. A new p,priodical, we observe, is announced to appear almost immediately from the hand of this illustrious man—a: monthly serial, to be entitled Gettes Fcia zili.er tic Litterature. The character of the undertaking is distinctly enough foreshadowed through advertisement. It will be a publication, so says the prospectus, designed to promote the study of universal literature in every age, in every country, iii every language ; and to do this at once with care and intelligence. It is proposed by M. de Lamartine, through this new organ of his opinions as a man of letters, that he shall from time to time, through its pages, criticise the more remarkable works of all times, of all lands, of all tongues—and illustrate them by ap propriate commentaries. The great author striving by these means to inspire the taste and regulate the judgment of even the more illiterate among his contemporaries. A noble design—a design not unworthy of the genius, and the patriotism, and the eloquence of M. de Lamar tine. An ambition befitting the poet of " Jocelyn," the historian of the " Giron dins," the • creator of " Raphael," the Tribune of February ! An apparently feasible enterprise, this is, moreover, this same scheme of a monthly magazine to be entitled Cours Familier dc Litteraturc—Par Lamartine de l' Academie Francaise. Feasible, we meau,,as an instructor of vast masses of the French population, both lettered and unlettered. For the subscriptions are fixed at no more than twenty francs altogether ! So that the periodical will be within the reach of al most everyone. Within their reach—and tempting their grasp by how many attractions! For example: It will be written entirely by the hand of La13311,1' tine ! Lamartine, in other words, is to be not merely the projQ.ctor, er editor, or conductor—he is to be the author, the exclusive author of the entire production. It is to be published and administered by himself alone. It is to be intel lectually, as it were, bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh—the direct emanation of his genius, already productive of so many was' ter-pieces. It is to be not so much a course of rhetoric as a course of taste and discrimination. It will be written throughout in the style of familiar conversation, that style, of all the most pliant and plastic, and universally adaptable. It will be, in effect, a series of " gossips" between the writer and tie reader, de omnibus rebus—to appear be it said briefly —a " chat" a month ! The work, alreadY penned to the extent of several volumes, will be continued during at least four years from the date of its commencement. The first instal ment, we are informed, is to appear immediately. May the seed thus thrown into the furrow fructify —may it rise and flourish perennially 1 . M. de Lamartine seated in health, and honour, and happiness, as beneath the shade and the fruitfulness of his own fig-tree, during many a fair, sunshiny season to come, under the over shadowing leaves of his own popular Cours Fanti . tier de Litt6raturc ! ELECTRIC AND INTERNATIONAL T.ELE- GRAPH COMPANY. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was held yesterday at the company's office, Lothbury ; major- General Wylde, C. 8., in the chair. The SECRETARY (Mr. J. S. Fourdrinier)read the notice convening the meeting. After the usual preliminaries, The CHAIRMAN laid upon the table the balance-sheet and statement of receipts and expenditure of the company for the half-year ending Dec. 31. He regretted to say that he occupied the chair that day in consequence of the resignation of their late chairman, Mr. Ricardo. It might not be universally, though it was generally, known to the shareholders present, that. it was to Mr. Ricardo they principally owed the formation and existence of the company. (Hear.) It was owing to his talents, and energy, and perseverance that they were able to over• come the obstacles that presented themselves in the first instance, a►id to obtain the act of incorporation to form the company. No doubt he was ably assisted by the gentlemen associated with him, but still great obstacles and difficulties were overcome, which could not have been surmounted wei e it not forthe talents, perseverance, and energy witich be brought to the task. He should also ruentieu coat the obstacles and difficulties, as they must be aware, were greatly increased in consequence of the in vention being one that was new to the public, and be cause neither the railway c impanies, the commercial pub lic, nor the public in general, in the first instance, were a. all aware of the advantages that were offered to them The increase in the number of messages from year to year eleaily proved this, and he did not believe that they bad arrived at the maximum yet. (Hear.) He thought, however, he had said enough to justify the regret he felt at Mr. Ricardo havieg resigned, and to justify the shareholders to join with him in that regret. The The el:airman then called attention to the half•yearly report of the engineers, showing the progress of the worke. He moved the adoption of the balance-sheet and statement of accounts. Several questions having been put with respect to the accounts, to which explanations were given by Mr. Ri cardo, the moti n was agreed to. A dividend of 14s. 3d . . ..per share was declared. The retiring directors and auditors were re-elected. Mr. HENCHCLIFFE moved a resolution to the effect ,hat the proprietors of the company desired to record ;heir sense of obligation to their late chairman (Mr. licardo) for the services which he had rendered to the company, and also proposed that a suitable testimonial should be presented to Mr. Ricardo. (Applause.) Mr. 'COOKE (a director) rose to second the proposition. He said that he should offer to the meeting an explana tion of his reasons for doing so. It was the first time that he had publicly avowed it, but he did now avow it, that he was the original inventor of the practical tele graph. He said that, principally to the energy and talent of Mr. Ricardo assisted by an em i nen t eng ineer then present (Mr. Bidder), was to be attributed the establishment of the electric telegraph as at present existing in the United Kingdom, and extending itself over the continent and in America. He had met with better fo-'one than that which generally befel yenta's, in tbt - tining the munificent and enlightened aQsist,,.ee of Mr. Ricardo, and had to confess his and tie telegraph's obligations to that gentleman. He confessed himself a partisan in the matter to a certain extent, but he was yet convinced that all who_ had. hadnlidstdrae w in o l u: taion nop d p u o r r in tu g n t i h ty e o te f n witnessing l‘isir.Rie chairmanship ardo's ad sire to join in presenting him with some testimonial for his exertions, labour-, and talents, more substantial than a mere vote of thanks. He only differed from the hon. proprietor on one point. He thought that the money for a testimonial should not be voted from the company's funds, but should be raised from a fund to be formed entirely of private and altogether voluntary subscriptions, and he begged, while seconding the motion, to propose that a "committee be formed from the shareholders and directors to carry the proposal of presenting a suitable testimonial to Mr. Ricardo ir.to effect. (Cheere.) Mr. RAWSON, Manchester, said that although ho dif fered from Mr. Ricardo regarding some practical ques tions, he was happy to bear his testimony to the exer tions he had made for the company. The motion was then unanimously agreed to. Mr. J. L. RICARDO, after expressing his acknowledg ments, said that whatever labours he had gone through , were amply recompensed by so gratifying a compliment. That those labours had been great he mu-t admit, and at one time so extreme were the difficulties that he al most despaired of success in bringing the telegraph to its present proud position ; indeed at one period there were but ten shareholders left, and• they had bought up all the shares that the holders were endeavouring to get rid of. They were then losing 3001. per week. In seek ing rest from the labours of his chairmanship, he was gratified to think that he left the company in the best possible position. Their prosperity would go on in. creasing, because the telegraph was only in its infancy. (Applause.) The meeting then separated. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)
