O'Reilly, took her departure for the same desti nation on the following day. The troops loudly! cheered the crew of the Caesar as she quitted the port, and the ail rung with the shouts of "We're oil to Charleston." The sloop Trident, 3, left on the 14th for Corfu. The Megtera steam troopshifl . -Commander Henderson, cam© in y esterday from that island. Having broken her intermediate shaft she ;ti had to sail down; fortunately the weather was fa vourable, and she made the passage in four days -.The Megtera will proceed to-morrow to England "under sail. The James Watt, which was under orders for Gibraltar, will, it is expected, be sent .to Corfu. The Aboukir, 80, Captain Shadwell. arrived to-day from Gibraltar. Sentence of death has been passed on the soldier of the' , Royal Artillery who fired at his Adjutant, Captain? : Keate, and the sentence had been approved by the Governor. The sentence was read on parade on Friday last by the Adjutant-Generit The execu-: tion has been fixed for Friday next, when the cul .`, prit is to be shot on the parade ground of Fort. Ricasoli, in presence of the troops. Her Majesty's ships in port are :—the Marlborough, 131 (bearing: the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir W. F. Martin, K.C.8.) ; the Hibernia, receiving ship (bearing the flag of. Rear-Admiral H. J.

Instructions were also received from the Admiralty for a report to be made to the Controller of the Navy of the names and number of the gunboats attached to the reserve at Chatham which can be brought forward to replace those removed. The screw gunboats attached to the first division of the steam service, . all of which are armed with two Armstrong pivot guns on the upper deck, and fully equipped for sea, are the Bullfrog, the Cochin, the Britomart, the Griper, the arnation, the Julia, and the Sandfly. Each of the above gunboats is of very light draught, and will therefore prove of the utmost advantage in ascending shallow rivers, while, from their light , ness and the easy way in which they can be handled, they may be placed in positions impracticable to a frigate or even a 21-gun corvette. The other gun- , boats attached to the reserve at Chatham are the Mistletoe, the Spanker, the Herring, the Sepoy, and the Snipe, which belong to the second division, and all of which may be ready for sea in a very short !time. The flotilla of gunboats attached to the third division of the steam reserve in the Medway are the Manly,the Mastiff, the Fidget, the Thrasher, the Pelter, the Tickler, the Spey, the Thistle, the. ID warf, the Linnet, the Pigeon, and the Phoenix.; :In addition to the above there is a large squadron of mortar.boats lying in Yantlett-creek, besides a !number of iron mortar boats hauled up at Chatham Dockyard, all of which a very short time would suf rfice to make ready for active service. In order to expedite the completion of the several . ships fitting for commission at Chatham Dockyard, 150 additional shipwrights, together with a propor tion of other trades, are to be entered at that esta- `blishment to-day. The Rattlesnake, 21, 400 horse power, one of the screw steamers ordered to be commissioned at Chat- 'ham, is to be brought forward with the utmost d e . spatch, and to be completed in all respects and ready for sea by the 16th January, orders to that effect having been given by the Controller of the Navy. "On Saturday a large party of riggers from the dock yard were sent on board to commence rigging her.'

The Flying Fish sailed on Friday last for Lisbon with sealed orders and despatches. The Pioneer, 6, screw, returned to Hongkong from her cruise in search of the shipwrecked crew of the Norna on the 19th of October. She was unsuc. cessful in her search, the men having left for the Pellew Islands a month prior to her arrival. They i had not been heard of after their departure. The Pioneer (reached San Augustin on the 22d of Sept, and after a stay of three days there, sailed at the end of that time for Guano, and thence on the 6th for Hong Kong, THE ARM Y, Garrison orders were yesterday issued at Chatham': giving directions for the due observance of to-day by the several corps in the garrison. As far as possible, all parades will be dispensed with, and the troops not on military duty will be kept in bar racks. At 310 p.m. minute guns will commence firing from the Cornwallis battery, and will con- • tinue firing until sunset. Up to last evening no'. order had been issued for the works in the dock- • yard to be suspended during the hours set apart for 'the funeral solemnities of the late Prince Consort, but it is probable an order of the kind will be given this morning. The 2d battalion of the 16th Regiment of Foot embarked at Southampton on Saturday, in the trans port steamer Magdalena, Capt. R. Woolward, for service in Canada. The battalion arrived about half past 2 o'clock, by train, from Farnborough, to which place they marched from Aldershot in the morning.. As on the occasion of the arrival of the troops on Wednesday and Thursday, the band of the South ampton ;Volunteer Rifle Corps assembled at the terminus to receive them ; but the regiment's own band, which accompanied them, having received orders not to play on their march in consequence of the death of the Prince Consort, it was deemed advisable that the volunteers should pursue the same course. The troops marched from the rail way to the docks and went at once on board the 'Magdalena, which steamed out of dock immedi a t e ly 'afterwards, the arrangements having been con ducted with all that celerity which was noticed in 'the report of the emb ar k a ti on o f th e G uar d s.

By Dr. LA'MERT, 37, Bedford-square, London. Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh ; Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, &c. The above work contains most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth, puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac tising with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive. The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the various functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive a owing to the great di scover i es of modern science,)mste, which, are vhi r l endered subservient to a rational, simple, l and easy mode of treatment.

In :his opinion the confusion would be extreme, and the budget would arrive before the legislati ve l ,body in a very disorganised s t a t e . Th e expose des tnotifs stated that recourse might in an `extreme case be had to bills of indemnity, but he was opposed to the idea of incurring such a dan ger, and the savings which it was hoped to realisE by the new system might, he feared, cost very dear, It should not be forgotten that under a change in the financial system there is a modification proposed i ' in the constitution itself, and a Parliamentary re Igimc is being re-established. The initiative of the: Icrown remained entire, but it would have to reckon i on obstacles which it had not hitherto met with .* He did not wish to say anything calculated to offend ngland, but it was impossible not to see that hei, military preparations have always been made slowly precisely because they could not be entered into without legislative co-operation. You remember. !continued the hon. senator, the enthusiasm which lwas manifested for the sovereign on his departure for Italy. But if public opinion, if the legislative body, anxious to protect the interests of the tax payers, had not been favourable to the enterprise which his Majesty had undertaken in that country, what would have been the situation of the Govern ment if the system now proposed had been then in force? You would have regretted the loss of a r prerogative whieh would have prevented the Em [parer from carrying out a great political idea. Can • we accept the situation recommended by the report ; at a moment when in, the Old World_so many dif ferent interests are in presence, and at which in the _ New World a terrible struggle is about to corn- 1 mence. Let us not forget that France must play „..- the leading part in the conflict which is inevitably 7. coming between the principles of cld times and those --, of the French Revolution. (Approbation.) The fsystem proposed will not remedy the inconveni ; ences complained of—since under it there will be -,-.• the same difficulty as before in effecting a reduc- V tion in the budget : to do so, an entire section ~. must be rejected, but the rejection of a section would be the disorganisation of a branch of the public service. As to supplementary and extraor 4dinary credits, the report is in error in supposing ~, that they came into use with the Parliamentary regime, for they do not exist in England, where that regime is in full force ; but they were adopted in 'France because they satisfied a necessity of the state, and form part of the national forces, and on " - that account they ought not to be abandoned. If the credits referred to be replaced by laws, the , legislative body will be under the obligation of passively accepting the propositions made to it, or ; •refusing them in virtue of parliamentary sove• :reignty, and either case would be deplorable. To Llarrive at such a result as that is it necessary that tithe Government, by useless abnegation, should de prive itself of powers conferred on it by the consti- • Itution ? Can we believe, besides, that there were: Ono other means of escaping from embarrassment • -,g than those indicated in the memoir in the Illoni ) , gteur ? Might not the floating debt have been con-; !,solidated, and the public d e bt, w hi c h i s th ree ti mes less than that of England, have been somewhat aug plented ? But, instead of such measures, the memoir prefers exceptional ones, and designates as the sole cause of the evil a prerogative which ought Ito be preserved as a palladium in the hands of the (sovereign ? Where is the peril ? In the deficit of a milliard ? But that figure at first appeared to me gto be exaggerated, and the expose des motifs shows ( that ray impression was right. (Here the hon. sena tor quoted from different documents to prove that' there was no peril in the situation.) He afterwards': ;went on to affirm that the floating debt was not a riiilliard, but 879,000,000 f. ; also that, as the corn rimittee had reported, the present Government was only responsible for 100,000,000 f. of the sum, which , 4 100,000,000 f. had been em pl o y e d i n th e expe di t i on I to the East, and in the expenses of the occupatoin of Rome. He declared that the alarm which M. Fould's import had occasioned was now dissipated, and he I !asked if the present legislation did not suffice to pre ( vent exaggerated expenses? He concluded by declar- 'ing that the abandonment of the power heretofore i exercised by the Emperor was not only not neces i sary, but dangerous ; and, in frankly expre ss i ng 'that opinion, he believed he was serving the count r y 1 land his Msjesty. (Approbation.) PRICE..... --Id. STAMPED ....sd. ger left to Piedmont alone the responsibility of -- certain acts, and when that deviation in the policy of France and the principle of intervention, which was to benefit the Italian Powers, was seen to pro at only the audacious ambition of Piedmont. There was a change of Aystem. Add all the successive acts of complaisance to Piedmont after the odious falsehoods of Chambery ; and the silence with which France supported the insults heaped on the First • Minister of the Sovereign Pontiff confided to the protection of French soldiers. (Question.) The PRESIDENT —You wander from the subject under discussion, and you efface the goo d i m p res -1 sion produced by the first part of your 'speech, on which the Senate congratulated you. Count DE SEGUR-D'AGUESSEAU—I am endea• vouring to explain by another reason than that given by M. Fould the distrust which certainly exists in Europe with regard to the Imperial policy—. (Noise.) Marshal VAILLANT— That goes beyond the bounds of the present discussion. Count DE SEGUR-D'AGUESSEIII—I maintain that lam in the question. The Minister of Finance has ascribed the opinion of Europe to causes which I do not admit to be just. I give arguments in support of a contrary view of the case. I do not see in what respect I wander from the subject under discussion. It shall not be said that a senator is to-day inter dicted from speaking, when the speech of the Ist March, which caused us so much affli c ti on , was listened to with great attention. The PRESIDENT—That speech was listened to be cause it was in, its proper place, being on the dis cussion of the address. But now you go beyond the question, and I call you to it. (Hear.) Count DE SEGUR-D'AGUESSEAU—It was that speech of Prince Napoleon which has caused the distrust. (Noise, and cries of " Question, Ques tion.") Marshal VAILLANT—We protest against that opinion. Count DE SEGUR-D'AGUESSEAU—The manner in which that speech was received here-- Count DE CASABLANCA would examine how far Ithe supplementary and extraordinary credits opened Ihy the Imperial Government had weighee. on the finances of the country ; thanks to the manner in !which the accounts were kept, the employment of even the slightest sum could be readily verified. Here were two kinds of extra budgetary credits, .some established by laws and others by decrees. According to the accounts furnished by the admini stration of finance, the whole of the credits opened Isince first January, 1852, u p t o th e present t i me, I iamounted to 3,123,000,000 francs, which included = the expense of the campaigns i n th e E ast an d I taly. The legislative bcdy, as was wellknown, had voted Idifferent loans, amounting together to two milliards, !and the nation had fiv3 times more. The account lof the expenses of the war in the East, which amounted to 1,348,000,000 f., had been verified by c commission. France had not derived glory alone i from that war, but an extension of her commercial /relations, and the commission had declared that after that war the value of the naval arsenals, and .i the supplies they contained, had increased by 260 millions. The same verification had not yet taken place for the war in It a l y , b u t th e expenses o f t h e two Ministries of War and Marine had been esti mated at 352 millions. By deducting from the 'credits the loans voted for the war by the legisla. • tive body there remained a sum of 1,428,000,000 f As to the Ministries of War and Marine, it must be remembered that the land and sea forces 4 had assumed a large and magn ifi cen t d eve l opmen t, 'and that it was not with th e so l e resources o f the budget that the military situation could have been :made what it is. " And never," said the hon. sena- Jtor, " will France regret an expense which has replaced her in a rank which no nation will hence forth dispute her right to hold." (Applause.) France ''. might now confidently advance in the course of prosperity opened to her by her natural resources, and the genius and courage of her sons. M. HUBERT-DELISLE observed that it was evi- I ldent from the statement of M. Magna, from the report of their president, and the figures quoted b 3 "`R M. de Casabianca, that the financial situation of AFrance was most satisfactory. M. DITPIN—No one stirred! Count DE SEGUE-D'AGUESSEATJ.--It is precisely :hat of which I complain. (Noise.) M. PIETRI—We knew in advance that this lan. guage was to be held here—everybody knew it. (Hear, hear.) Count DE SEGUR-D'AGUESSEAU—The speech of* the Ist of March— The PRESIDENT—Speak to the question, What you have to say will find its place in the discussion , on the address. Count DE SEGUR-D'AGUESSEAU—If my remarks l are not just so much the better for my opponents; they will the more easily be answered by the speak ers for the Government. M. BAROCHE—We shall not reply to them.' Count DE SEGUR-VAGUESSEAU ---M. Foula men-I Itioned a case of mistrust. I discuss his report, as 1 1 1 have a right to do. The cause: of the mistrust of Europe is, I repeat, in the speech of Prince Napo leon. (Murmurs, interruptions, and renewed cries of " Question, question.") M. PIETRI—The evil lies in the opposition of party men—of the reactioniste. Count DE SEGUR-D'AUGESSEAU—The objectiont , made to the Senatus Consultum had been answered lin advance by the expose des motifs of the Counci, of State and by the report of President Troplong _ . • He remarked that the modification proposed in tht mode of voting the budget was the fulfilment by the Emperor of a promise made last session to the legislative body ; and that the concession accorded ~ was granted by his Majesty in full liberty and without any constraint. The Emperor now thought , that he could freely and spontaneously sacrifict -part of his prerogative, and that his doing so would Igive more liberty and dignity to the legislative body.l:' r -The 'Minister of Finance attributed the mistrust ca 'privilege to the prerogative of the Emperor, but thai.[, iprivilege had always existed, and the mistrust had t ' ;only been felt during the last two years ; the reasoni. iassigned by the hon. minister was not therefore the i itrue one. The mistrust among the 'powers com- . menced with Russia, from whom the supremacy ini the Black Sea bad been wrested. Th e next causet !was the war in Italy ; when fears were entertained! t 'that the noble and disinte res t e d movement nt: France might extend fu r th er t h an was at first in 1 ttended. Those feelings o f di strust, however, had' t ' 'subsided, and confid ence was re-established when' 'the Emperor was s een t o stop after the victory of !'Solferino. There again it revived, when it was' thought that the Emperor's Government did not !remain faithful in Italy to the policy proclaimed' i lin previous declarations, and when France no lon-, Count DE SEGUE-VAGUESSEATI then read a ras sage from Prince Napoleon's speech, to the effect that the eyes of all nations were turned . to Napo leon 111., and that they hoped to see the map of Eu rope remodelled. (Interruption.) He was told that it was the speech of a private individual— M. DurlN—Of a senator. Count DE SEGUR•D'AGIJESSEAU—You are right; but de not forget that it was not followed by any 'observations from the organs of the Government. The Duke DE LA FORCE—It was on the follow-, l ing M d . a lt . ROCHE—That is perfectly true. Count DE SEGUR D'AGUESSEAU—There was no t official contradiction either befor e or a ft er th e speech. M. BILLAULT-But there was at the following sitting Count DE SEGTJR•D'AGUESsEAU —Hence arose zpprehension. (Loud cries of " (question, question.") Count DE SEGUR D'AGUESSEAU—I demand al iittle liberty. The PRESIDENT—I am about to remand you of the regulations; it is formally stated in Art. 16, that the President is to interrupt any speak er w h en ] he departs from the question under discussion. The Marquis DE BOISSY—The hon. senator has not done so. The PRESIDENT—M. de Segur, I cannot allow, Iyou to continue. Count DE SEGUR-D'AGUESSEAU—I shall be really distressed, Monsieur le President, to enter into a dis cussion with you on the liberty of the tribune. (Noise.) The PRESI!ENT—I should be as much distressed as you, for I am the guardian of it. Count DE SEGUE, D'AGUESSEAU—It is the glory of imperial institutions to have restored to us this little tribune. Let it not be taken from us. If I am interrupted by certain persons, it is because I have touched them on a sore point. (Murmurs.) The Marquis DE BoissY-That is true. The PRESIDENT—There is no question of infring ing on the liberty of the tribune,; you will have the l right to bring forward your arguments at the time of the discussion on the address, and no one will in terfere with you. I only interrupt you now be cause you have departed from the question. Count DE SEGUR-D'AGUESSEAU--The present dis cussion is complex. The financial question, as M. Feuld has well proved, is complicated by external pre-occupations. I am therefore on the real ground in alluding to the question of the mistrust of Europe. I demand permission to continue. (Question.) The PRESIDENT—You hear the cries which come from a great number of benches. I shall be obliged to consult the Senate to ascertain whether it will allow you to proceed. Count De Segur-d'Aguesseau—lf the Senate takes from me the right of speaking I shall retire, but I demand a formal vote before the tribune is inter dicted to me. Marshal Can robert—Confine yourself to the ques tion, and you can continue. Count De Segur d'Aguesseau—l continue. When the speech of Prince Napoleon—(renewed cries of Question, question)—who did not find any contra diction— The Duke De La Force—M. Billault replied. Count De Segur-d'Aguesseau—But you know under what circumstances. The speech of the Ist Nlarch received no immediate contradiction. The speaker was not interrupted as I am to-day. (Noise and interruption.) Make the Senate, Monsieur le President, interdict me formally from speaking if I am not to continue. The President—At the period to which you refer ', the speech was in the question, and there was no reason to interrupt it; but now you are out of the question, and therefore are prevented going on. Count De Segur-d'Aguesseau—l am told that the speech of Prince Napoleon encountered here an official contradiction. It was on the day after, and on a direct interpellation of Cardinal Mathieu, that , M. Billault decided on speaking. He said the speech contained many things which could not be approved of ; but he carefully abstained from saying what. the points were which did not please the Govern pent, which did not obtain its assent. And yet at, 1 the same time time, but not in this place, a minister with portfolio expressed aloud his enthusiasm for the speech of the Prince. j A Voice—That is true ! __ . Count DE SEGUR D'AGUESSEAU—That is not all. i The speech, treated as official, was stuck up ill the communes of the empire, and thereby received; the governmental stamp. Such was the importanci ascribed to that speech. I have , th erefore, the right to ,say that it was not disavowed. There were, per-; haps, verbal disavowals, but none which could re• assure public opinion. Such is the Cause of thel distrust, and so long as such a sentiment exists, so long as with regard to this question and in presence - of public o pi n i on , there sh a ll b e li v i ng contradic tions in the Emperor's Cabinet—(loud int errup ti on) :,,of that may be said to assure public opinion will be as if one was whistling to the winds. (Murmurs.) M. DUPIN—The great dignitaries who sat in the Senate only spoke as senators, and their speeches derived all their importance from the talent dis played. The speech in question was that of a prince, and involved no obligation or engagement on the part of the Government. The fact that it was not opposed did not imply the approbation of the Government. It was important in the interest , l of the Senate, and.also of the dignitaries, that this should be fully understand, k a s a contrary interpre tation would be attended with inconvenience. (Approbation.) M. 13ILLAuLT—The observation of M. Dupin is !perfectly correct. The opinions of the Govern !tuent are expressed from this bench, because those who sit here know the Emperovs thought. Count DE BEAUMONT had read with much !pleasure the Emperor's letter announcing his inten tion of relinquishinga prerogative because it showed devotedness to the country. Supplementary credits had always been attacked iu the old chambers as ;well as iu the present, and they were complained of in the Senate during the last session by Count de Casabianca and the Marquis d'Audriffet. In reply Ito Count de Segur d'Aguesseau, I.e blamed him for 'having estimated at fif. per commune the share re- Isulting from the credit of two millions opened for improving roads in rural districts. The Emperor had taken part in the efforts of the councils-general with regard to the making of cross-roads, by grant ing 25,000,000 f. to be spread over several years:; and the grant would cause a larger disbursement of departmental and communal funds for that use ful purpose. The hou. senator then proceeded to remark on the situation in which the Senatus Con suit um would place the deputies with regard to their indemnity. At present each receives an indemnity ,of 2,500 f. a month fora session of three months, and. 'when the session exceeds that period a supplemen tary indemnity is accorded by decree ; but for the fu ture the deputies would after the third month vote !the supplement themselves. As this would place ithem in an awkward position, he thought that it would be desirable to give them a fixed indemnity whatever the length of th e sess i on . H e ca ll e d the !attention of the Government to that matter. With respect to the right of amendment in the legislative body, he thought that it might be so enlarged as to allow a deputy to propose an amendment after the reading of a report in public sitting, instead of, as at present, being required to do so before the pre sentation of the report. The discussion was then adjourned. THE BILSTON MURDER. ;CONFESSION OF ONE OF THE CULPRITS. g On Saturday m orn i ng th e cu l pr it M a dd ox ma d e 01 pa confession to the principal turnkey in the Stafford 'County Gaol, in which he is confined with the other 'two condemned m en (J ones and Brandrick), each one, however, in a s e p ara t e ce ll. M a dd ox ' s i s a " familiar face" in th e ce ll s o f th e gao l , an d t h e turn key visited him with the r egu l ar war d er t o ev id ence 1 " the interest which he took in him on that account. Maddox availed himself of the opportunity to say that the right men had b een conv i c t e d, i nasmuc h O ,, as only he himself and Jones and Brandrick were iconcerned, coneerned, either in the burglary or in the murder. I •6He said that it was Brandrick who cut away a por , tion of the cellar door, by which the bolt was drawn 'back and access obtained to the interior of the house. • Brandrick, he said, then rushed across the passage, and into the room where the deceased was sitting, 'and clutching him by the throat as he sat in his ' , •chair forced him to the ground. Jones then assisted by picking up the fire shovel and, he thought, pres , sing the bottom edge of the pan beneath their vie tim s chin. Of the use which Jones made of the ;shovel he was not, however, ho said, quite clear, as he did not enter the room where the murder was perpetrated, and saw what he described only through the partly open door. While Brandrick and Jones were thus engaged on the ground floor ho (Maddox) went upstairs with a view to get the money ; but he could not succeed, and came down again and said so. Brandrick then went up armed with the small hatchet obtained from the cellar, where it had been used to break the coal. With this implement he succeeded in forcing the locks of the chest of drawers hand of the cashbox, which was kept in that piece of furniture, end thus obtained possession of, he (Mad te, %dox) thought, about £lOO. But he (Maddox) and Jones did not get their s ha re o f th a t mone y, f or 'Brandrick had said he l os t it i n " runn i ng " th e policeman ; but he (Madd ox ) th oug ht th a t h e l e ft it in his father' s h ouse w h en h e went i n t h ere on t h e morning of the murd e r. M a dd ox a dd e d th a t th e y went into the house twi ce , an d sa id t h at genera ll y ' 1;; the evidence given against them was correct, and ,lespecially that of the woman who saw him leaning gon a wail near Brandrick's father's house, waiting 'for his (Brandrick's) coming out—all after they had ' run" the policeman, Harrison, who intercepted them as they were leaving the house of the mur dered man and nearing th a t o f B ran d r i c k, carry i ng (with them a portion of their booty. This statement entirely exonerates the other four !prisoners, all of whom were acquitted on Friday evelling, Baron Martin ruling that there was no evidence against them. The statement was made known to Baron Martin, when his lordship again took his seat on the bench in the Stafford Assize Court on Saturday morning. Immediately after wards Jukes, Lilley, Bills, and Webb, the other four men referred to, were arraigned on the charge of . the burglary, for which the grand jury found a true bill against them ; but the prosecution tendered no evidence, and the jury returning a verdict of not guilty they were all liberated from confinement. It will be remembered that it. was Maddox who made a volumlnuas statement to the magistrates at Bilston, which proved him to be an accessory to the burglary, but in which he denied that he entered ' the house with Jones and Brandrick, although he ran away with them after they left the house. Al -though this second statement makes him a particeps : criminis in the murder, yet its comparatively leni ent tone towards himself may leave it to be fairly inferred that it will not be before Jones and Brand rick have unburdened their bosoms that all the 'truth will he known. THE FRENCH SE2 A2'E. The Senate met on Saturday, M. Troplong in the chair. Admiral Hamelin, the Marquis de Gabriac, 1 and General Bar, excused themselves for not attend-; ring. M. Baroche, Minister, President of the Coun cil of State; MM. Magne and Billault, ministers without portfolio; M. de Parieu, Vice-President ofl the Council of State ; and M. Vuitry, President of Section, took their places on the seats set apart for the government commissioners. The order of the day was the discussion on the Senatus Consultum to change the mode of voting the Budget. The Marquis DE LAROCfIEJAQUELEIN expressed a desire to speak to a motion of order. The PRESIDENT , There is no such motion before the house. The Marquis DE LAROCHEJAQUELEIN thought he had a right to make the proposition in question. The Government had there and elsewhere given 1 explanations on the finances, which at the time had satisfied the public and the two chambers; but events had since modified that opinion. He there. fore thought it would be better for the Government, before the discussion commenced, to explain its views clearly and categorically, in order to dissipate I the obscurity which seemed to cover the facts. (Movement.) The PRESIDENT—Those are interpellations, and [this is not the moment to make them ; they cannot . !come on until the discussion of the address. The Marquis DE LAROCIILJAQUELEIN—I merely wish the Government to explain before the dis ,eussion. The PRESIDENT-9n whiltr • The order of the day is fixed, and r call on you to observe it. I M. MAGNE, Minister without Portfolio--If the Senate thought it desirable to have certain expla nations on the statement made at the beginning of the year, the Government was ready to show that it had not a word or a figure to retract; there was not the slightest discrepancy between the statement then made and that presented by M. Fould. The Senate would observe that, in the ex vlanations given on several occasions by the organs of the Government, whether within those walls or to the Legislative Body, there was no question but of positive facts, which belongs henceforth to the history of the Empire, and were known to every one. It was also proper to remark that the state ment made by M. Fould related chiefly to facts be tonging to the years 1860 and 1861, the results of which had not been known when the explanations were presented at the beginning of the year. "But`, I can affirm," added the hon. minister, " that no thing has been concealed from the great bodies ofl the State nor from the public, and had concealment' been desired it would have been impossible. In no country are the finances managed with greater publicity than in France. Oar finances aro written in public and authentic documents, and if the Government oven wished to conceal the truth it would be not only blameable, but would commit a signal folly, for thousands of voices would be raised to denounce the deception. (Approbation.) I re peat there is no contradiction between the figures presented by us and those given by M. Fould. For instance, the deficit for the year 1860 was estimated, by the committee on the budget, at 70 millions ; the Government, far from attempting any concealment, gave its estimate as high as 100 millions, and the event has proved that the Government was right. It is to be regretted that the public is not suffi- 1 ciently versed in those matters; the consequence is that accusations are circulated which the public would know to be unfounded if it were possible to induce it to read the numerous documents pub- lashed, and in which everything is fully explained. What was said at the b eg i nn i ng o f the season i s t r ue ; but at the same tim e it i s un d en i a bl e t h a t th e in crease of supplementary cre di ts, h owever j us tifi a bl e , might give rise to future difficulties. The President of the Senate has justly remarked in his able re port that the act of the Emperor is spontaneous, perfectly free, and completely ratified by public opinion." (Applause.) Prince Napoleon here entered and took his seat. The PRESIDENT then declared the general dis cussion to be open. Baron BRENIER read a speech in which he began by mentioning the approbation with which the Emperor's letter and the report of the present Mi nister of Finance had been received by the country, which well understood what it ow e d hi s Majesty! for such a proof of personal abnegation. When the Sovereign had thus spontaneously offered to grant a right which had been claimed by the legis lative body, it was not for the Senate to check so generous a movement. In glancing at the present financial situationit was, however, well to consider whether too much precipitation might not be mani fested in overturning the present legislation. For his part, ho could affirm that he felt no regret at seeing a liberal impulse given to the constitution, which certainly was susceptible of reform and im provement—of the former, according to the neces sities that might arise ; and of the latter, like the nation which it applied to. Ho should, therefore,; not oppose the Senatus Consultum as increasing; ,he powers of the legislative body, but as weaken ling a power which he considered as essential. The , present financial system was, he said, a piece of; 'simple mechanism which everybody could readily comprehend, and which was equally well calculated' to meet ordinary and unforeseen circumstances. Het could not say the same for the proposed system of 'transfers, which he thought would be very difficult in their application, and lead to confusion. What would be done if a war should suddenly break out. and a necessity arose for a large supply of stores,) It was a want of those which was the primary i cause of the loos of the battle of Waterloo. Would A ILIGHLA.ArD 11ERNIT BURNT OUT. A case of accidental fire occurred in the district (of Tulloch, Strathspey, en Friday, the 29th ult. iThe Banffshire Journal say s —" An old man, named James Geddes, whose length o f b ear d and other !distinctive features suggest the idea:of antidiluvian times, has been long known to exist among the wilds of his native parish, Abernethy. James has never been found to entertain great respect for the enactments in force for the protection of the fish of the sea, the beasts of the field, or the birds of the air. In respect of these and other delinquencies, which need not be here alluded to, the domicile of Old Geddes,' on even the lands of the indulgent clan Grant, was held on anything but a certain tenure, and the result was that our hero repaired to an isolated and unfrequented part of the forest, where he formed a sort of subterranean habitation, rendered as comfortable and weather-proof as possible by heather and branches of fir. In this lowly situation he has for years sheltered him self both day and night, and during his hours of legitimate employment he wrought at wood craft, made sculls,' and dressed hand-staves. He so much excelled in this latter branch of industry, that it has long been held as an acquisition of some consideration to possess one of Batachan Gheidsich,' or Geddes' staves. He had in store, it is said, con siderable quantities of material and ready-made articles, which,with an enormous collection of tools a k n n d ive i s n , s a tr x u e m s, e s n a t w s, s, i a n n d t C l u e r i o s s h i a t i P e e s N o V f ith g o u u n t s n umber, dirk, fell a prey to the flames. He was himself absent at the time of the conflagration, and must have left the fire within reach of some combustible ma terial to feed upon. The misfortune of James Geddes, though of no seemingly great importan ce, is an irr e p ara bl e l oss to the poor o ld h e rmit him self, as by it h e h as b een ren d e red 'naked as from the earth he came,' and for all his failings,l ee beingr rtainly at the age of upwards of 70 years, he in be a fit subject now for the con sideration of the charitable."
