CORN EXCHANGE. Most of tho country markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with English wheat. Notwithstanding that there was rather more firmness in the demand than in the previous week, prices had, in some instances, a down ward tendency. All spring corn changed hands slowly at about previous rates, but flour was rather cheaper. Throughout the Continent, wheat has ruled heavy, on rather easier terms. In the United States very little change has taken place in the value of breadstuffs. Very limited supplies of home produce were received here last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 41,334 qrs of wheat, 11,814 barley, 442 oats, 1,860 beans, 482 peas, 2,122 tares, 7,695 linseed, 4,779 rapeseed, 410 sundry ; 2,050 sacks and 19,212 barrels of flour. A very moderate supply of English wheat was received fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, and the general quality of the samples was inferior. Although there was no animation in the trade, the demand for both red and white samples ruled steady, and the rates current on Monday last were fairly maintained. week's imports were 291 bales from Sydney, 550 from the Cape, and 625 from Algoa Bay. The show of foreign wheat was rather extensive. In good and fine samples a fair retail business was transacted, at full quotations. Inferior kinds ruled dull. Floating cargoes were a slow inquiry at the late decline. Over 200 were reported last week. Owing to the large arrival from abroad there Was con siderable inactivity in the demand for barley, yet no alte ration took place in the veflue of any description. Malt. continues very dell, and prices rule next to no minal. Oats were tolerably firm in value, but the demand for them was by no means active. We have to report less actvity in the demand for beans, but without leading to any quotable change in their value. Peas moved off steadily at fully last week's currency. In flour a very moderate business was doing. The quo tations, however, ruled about stationary. CURRENCY PER DIPERTAL MEASURE.

There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock on offer here to-day. On the whole the demand for it ruled steady, at full quotations. The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our grazing dis tricts, were seasonably good, and in fair average condition. Although the attsndance of buyers was rather on the in crease, the demand for nearly all breeds ruled inactive, at Thursday's decline in the quotations. A few very superior Scots and crosses realized 55., but the general tap figure for beef was 4s, 10d. per 81bs. From the Eastern districts we received 1,800 Scots, &c. ; from the North, 700 short horns ; from other parts of Eng land, 800 various breeds; and, from Scotland, 170 Scots and crosses. There was only a moderate supply of sheep in the pens but the quality of most breeds was tolerably good. The mutton trade ruled steady, and last week's currency was well supported. The best old Downs realized 6s. per 81bs. Calves—the show of which was limited--moved off freely, at Thursday's improvement in value. The best veal was worth 55. Bd. per 81bs.' We wore fairly supplied with pigs, which changed hands slowly, at about last week's quotations. Per Sibs to sink the offal. s. d. a. d. e. d. e. d.

RODDERY.—ESCAPE OP THE THIEF AND FORTUNATE RECAPTURE.—CharIes Roberts, alias Henry, a thick-set follow, and who gave an address at Shepherd's Bush, was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing the breastpin of Mr. John Gibson Smith, surgeon, of 06, Great Russell street. The prisoner was brought to the court handcuffed. From the evidence of Mr. Smith, it appeared that on the morning of Thursday last, about four o'clock, he was pass ing ,through the Regent Circus, when he saw a crowd of persons collected, and on stepping up to see the cause a man put his hand over his shoulder and took his breastpin, and handed it to the prisoner. lie charged the prisoner with it, but he denied it, and dropped it at his feet. He then laid hold of him and gave him into custody. John Salter, 202 C, said on going to the spot he found the prosecutor and the prisoner struggling together. The prisoner denied having taken prosecutor's pin. He then took him into custody, and on the way to the station the prisoner, who was followed by Cook, 106 C, was seen to drop something which proved to be a pin, but not the pro secutor's—the prosecutor having previously secured his pin. Cook, 106 C, confirmed a portion of the evidence of Salter, and, in addition, said that in King-street ho picked up a pin which prisoner threw from his pocket. Costiek, Si C, proved picking up a pin outside the station after the prisoner was taken in. The prisoner was committed for trial, but will be brought up again in a week. The method by which the prisoner effected his escape is not a little singular. It appears that he was placed as usual in the lobby of the police-court where prisoners are placed, and while the constables were talking together who had charge of him, thinking they had him quite secure, their backs being against a door leading towards Marl borough-street, so that he could not pass, the prisoner, with considerable dexterity, slipped through the back door leading to the yard at the back of the court, and I having scaled several walls of the houses in Marlborough-street, each of them about ten feet high, managed to escape, for which the constables Latten and Cook were suspended by the Commissioners of Police. Since then the constables have kept a sharp look out, and on Saturday evening Latten and Cook having just got off a steam-boat, and while passing up Hungerford-street, saw the prisoner standing there, and at once collared him. While passing Trafalgar-square the prisoner offered a despe- rate resistance, being aided by some ruffians, his friends, A lengthened and severe struggle, in whichthe officers lost their hats, took place, but determined not again to lose their prisoner, manfully resisted all attempts at a rescue, and succeeded in safely lodging him in custody. THAMES. THE SHOULDER OP Mt TroN.—A poor woman came be fore Mr. Yardley and said she had purchased a shoulder of mutton on Saturday night for her Sunday's dinner. It weighed 411bs. She sent it to the baker yesterday, and after it was baked it weighed only 21bs. She must have been cheated somehow, and wanted redress. Mr. Yardley—My good woman, I don't see how I oan afford you any redress or say who is to blame, the butcher or the baker. The butcher might have given short weight, or ths baker might have changed your shoulder of mutton for a smaller one ; above all, it might have been the fault of the farmer. It is probable he fed his sheep on oil cake, and there was no solidity in the meat you purchased of the butcher. The woman said she gave 38, for the shoulder of mutton, and all it produced was 2 lbs. of meat for herself, husband, and children. Xr. Yardley—lt is a case in which I cannot interfere. You must use your eyes and your judgment, and, above all, weigh your meat after you take it from the butcher when you go to market again. CtRIOI76 CASE OP UTTERING BASE COlN.—Robert Bradley, a shabbily dressed youth, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with uttering a counterfeit shilling. John Ridgill, a corn-dealer, in Tartal-street, Stepney, said the prisoner bought a halfpennyworth of bird-seed of him on Saturday night, and tendered a shilling in payment. Ho gave the prisoner a sixpence and 53d. in change. After the prisoner left the shop he discovered the shilling to be a bad one. He went after the prisoner, and overtook him near the New Globe, in the Mile-end-road. He charged the prisoner with passing a bad shilling. The prisoner said, "Have I ; you have given me a bad sixpence." He gave the prisoner into custody. A bad sixpence was taken from the prisoner's hand and Sid. from his pocket. Mr. Yardley—Did you give him the bad sixpence ? Mr. Ridgill—l don't know whether I did or not. I might have done so. _ _ . Mr. Yardley—And he might unknowingly have given you the base shilling. Ho may be equally as honest as you. He is discharged. THE WEATHER.

The French Chambers were opened at 1 o'clock to-day by the Emperor, who delivered the follow ing speech : MESSIEURS LES SENATEURS, _ MESSIEURS LES DEPUTES, Le discour d'ouverture do chaque session resume en peu de mots les actes passs et les projets a venir. Jusqu' a ce jour cette communication restrainte par sa nature ne mettait pas mon Gouvernement en rapport assez intime avec les grand corps de PE tat et ceux ci etaient privees do la faculte de fortifier le gouvernemont par leur adhesion pub lique ou de l'eclairer par leers conseils. J'ai decide que tousles ans un expose general de la situation de l'Empire serait mis sous vos yeux et que les depeches les plus importante de la d iplo matic seraient depasees sur vos bureaux. Vous passrerez egalement dans une adresso mani festee ♦otre sentiment sur les' faits qui s' accom plessent non plus comme autrefois par une, simple paraphrase du discours du trone mais par la libre et loyale expression do votre opinion. Cette amelioration initie plus amplement le pays a ses propres affaires lin fact ceux connaitr© ceur qui le gouvernment comme ceux qui siegent dans lee Chambres et malgre son importance n' attire en rien l'esprit de la constitution. Autrefois vous les savez le suffrage etait restraint. La Chambre des deputies avait it est vrai des pre rogatives plus etendus. Mais le grand nombre des fonctionnairres publics que en faisaient partie don nait an gouvernement une action directe sur sea resolutions. La Chambre despaires votait anssi lea lois mais la majorite pouvait etre a ehaque instant deplacee par l'adjonction facultative de nouveaux membres. Enfin les lois n'etaient pas touj ours dis cutees pour leur valour reelle mais suivant la chance que leur adoption on leur rejet pouvait avoir de maintenir on de renverser un Ministeir de la par de sincerili, dans les deliberations peu do stabilites dans la mnrche du Gouvernement peu de travail utile accompli. Anjourdhui toutes lea lois sont preparees avec soin et maturite par un con seil compose d'hommes, eolaires qui donnent lour axis sur toutes le mesures a prendre. Le Senat gardien du pacte fundamental of dont le pouvoir conservateur n'use de son initiative que dana les circonstances graves, examine les lois sous les soul report de leur constitutionnalite mais veri table tour de cassation politique, est composee d'un nombre de membres qui no pout etre depasse. Le:corps Legislatif ne s'immisee pas it est vrai, dans tons les details d'Administration mais ii est nomme direetement pas le suffrage universe' et ne compte dans son sein aucun fonctionaire public. Il discute les lois avec la plus entiere liberto. Si ellos sont repoussier c'est un avertissement dont le Gouverne ment tient compte, mais ce rejet n'ebranle pas le pouvoir, n'arrete pas la marche des affairs, et n'ob lige pas le Souverain a prendre pour consoilliers des hommes qui n'auraunt pas sa confiance. Telles sent les differences principales entre la constitution actuelle et celle qui a precede la revo lution de Fevrier. Equisez Messieurs pendant lc vote de l'adresse toutes les discussions suivant la mesure do leur gravite pour pouvoir ensiute vous consacrer entiere ment anx affaires du pays car si celles-ci reclament un examen approfondi et consciencicux les interots a leur tour sont impatients de solution prompter. A la veille d'explications plus detaillea jo me bournerai a vous rappeler sommairement cc qui s'est fait au dedaus et au debors. A l'interieur toutes lcs niesures prises tendent a augmenter la production agricole industrielle et commercielle. Le rencherissement de toute chose est la consequence inevitable d'une prosperite crois sant mais au moins devious nous chercher a rendre les objets do premiere necessite le moing chers possible. C'est dans ce but que nous avons diminue les droits our les matieres premieres, signe un traite do commerce avec I'Angleterre, projecte d'en contracter d'autres avec les pays voisins, facilite partout les voice de communication et lee transports. Poureealiser ces reformes economiques nous avons du renoncer a quatre vingt die millions de recettes annuelles et cependant le budjet vows sera presente en equilibre sans qu' it ait ete necessaire de recouvsir ni a la creation de nouveaux impots ni an credit public ainsi que jo vous l'avais annonce l'annee derniere. Les changements operes dans I'administration de l'Algerie ont place la direction superieure des affaires au sein meme des populations. Les ser vices illustres du Marechal mis a la tete de la colonie soot de surs garantis d'ordre et de pro sperite. A l'exterieur je me suis efforco de preveuir dans mes relations avec les 5 puissances etrangers que la France desirait sincerement la pain, que sans re• noncer a une legitime influence elle ne pretendait s'ingerer nulle part on ses interets n'ctait pas en jeu, enfin que si elle avait des sympathies pour tout ce qui est noble et grand, elk n'hisitait pas a condanmer tous ce qui violait les droit des gens et la justice. Des evenements dificiles a prevoir sont venue compliquer en Italie une situation deja si barrassee. Mon gouvernment d'accord avee ses allies a cru que le meilleur moyen de conjurer de plus ;rands dangers etait d'avoir recours au principe do nos in terventions quo laisse cheque pays maitre do ses destinees, localise les questions of les empeche de degenerer en conflits Europeens. Certes je no l'ignore pas ce systemo a l'inconve nient de paraitre autoriser bien de facheux °zees et les opinions extremes prefereraient, les lines, quo la France, prit fait et cause pour toutes les revolu tions ; les autres, qu'elle se mit a la tete d'une reac tion generale. Je ne me laisserai detour ner de ma route par aucune do cos excita tions opposees. Il suffit a la grandeur du pays de maintenir son droit la ou it est incontes table, de defendre son honneur is ou it est attaque, de preter son appui la ou it est implore en favour d'une juste cause. C'est ainsi que nous aTous maintenu notre droit en lfaisant accepter la cession de la Savoie et de Nice. Cos provinces sout aujourd'hui irrevocable ment reunies a la France. C'est ainsi quo pour Tenger notre honneur: l'extreme Orient, notre drapeau uni a celui dela grande Bretagne, a flotte victorieusement sur lee murs de Pekin et quo la croix embleme de la civili sation chretienne, surrnonte de nouveau dans la Capitale de la Chine, les temples de notro religion fermes de:puis plus d'un siecle. C'est ainsi qu' au nom de l'humanite nos troupes sont allees en Syrie en vertu d'une convention Europeenne proteger les chretiens contra un fanatismo avengle. A Rome j'ai cru devoir augmenter la garrison lorsque la securite du St. Pere a paru menaces. A theta j'ai envoye ma flotte au moment ou elle semblait devoir etre le dernier refuge du Roi de Naples, Apres l'y avoir laisse quatre mois je ai retire, quelque digne de sympathie quo fut une, infortune Royale si noblement supportcd. La presence de nos vaisseaux nous obligeait a nous ecarter tousle jours du systems de neutralite que j'avais proclame et ell e donnait lieu a des in terpretations erronees. Or vous le savez en poli tique on ne croit, gnere a tine demarche purement desinteressee. Tel est l'expose r apids de la situation generale. Quo les apprehensions se dissipent done et quo la confiance se raffermisse pour quoi les affairs com merciales et ir.dustrielles ne reprendraient-elles pas un nouvel essort ? Ma ferme resolution eat de wentrer dans ancun conflit cu la cause du la France ne serait pas basEe sur le droit et le justice. Qu' avoas nous done a cramdre ? Est-ce qu'une nation unie et compute comptant quarante millions d'ames peut redouter sea d'etre entrainer dans des luttes (lout elle aPPron, verait pas le bro . d'etre provoquer par une menace queicon quo. La premiere vertu d'un peuple est d'avoir confianee, en i n i me rae et de AC pats f3C laissor emouvoir par des alarmes imaginaires. Envisageona done l'avenir avec calme, daus la plaine confiance de notre force comme de nos loyales intentions livrons nous sans pre-occupation exagerees au developpement des germes de prosperite que la Providence a mice entre nos mains. [TRANSLATION.] The opening speech of each session sums up in a few words the acts of past and the projects of the future. Up to this time this communication, restrained by its nature, did not put my Govern ment in [sufficiently intimate correspondence with the great bodies of the State, and they were like wise deprived of the power of supporting the Government by their public adhesion, or of enlightening it by their advice. I have resolved that every year a general state ment of the situation of the Empire shall be placed before you, and that the most important of the diplomatic despatches shall be laid before you. You will express also, in a published address, your sentiments on the events which are passing ; not, as formerly, by a simple paraphrase of the Speech from the Throne, but by a free and loyal expression of your opinion. This improvement initiates the country more fully into its own affairs—makes it know those who govern it as those who sit in the Chambers, and, notwithstanding its importance, it affects in no way the spirit of the Constitution. Of old, you are aware that the suffrage was re stricted. The Chamber of Deputies had, it is true, more extended prerogatives, but the great number of public functionaries who formed part of it, gave the Government a direct influence over its resolutions. The Chamber of Peers also voted laws, but the ma jority could, at any moment, be displaced by the op tional addition of new members. In fine, the laws were not always discussed with a regard to their value, but according to the chance which their adoption or their rejection might have in maintain ing or overthrowing a Ministry. Thus by sincerity in deliberations, by steadfast ness in the plans of Government, by useful works accomplished, at present all the laws are prepared with care and consideration by a council composed of enlightened men, who give their opinions on all the measures that are under taken. The Senate, guardian of the fundamental char ter, and whose conservatory power never exercises its prerogative except in circumstances of grave importance, examines the laws solely on the question of their constitutionality, but it is in reality the Court of Political Cassation, composed of a number of members who cannot bo super seded. It is true that the Legislative Body does not mix itself in the details of the Administration, but it is elected by universal suffrage, and does not contain any public functionary. It discusses the laws with the most entire freedom. If they are rejected it is a warning of which the Govern ment takes notice, but this refusal dues not upset the powers, does not stop the progress of affairs, and does not oblige the Sovereign to take for his advisers men who have not his confidence. Such are the principal differences between the existing constitution and that which preceded the revolution of February. Exhaust, gentlemen, during the vote on the Ad dress, all the discussions on the measure in order subsequently to devote yourselves entirely to the affairs of the country, for if these debates demand profound and conscientious consideration, the public interests in their turn demand prompt attention. On the eve of more detailed explanations I shall confine myself to recalling to you summarily what has occurred at home and abroad. In the interior all the measures taken tend to increase agricultural productions,industrialland coan mercial. Increased prices are the inevitable con se quence of an increasing prosperity, but at least let us endeavour to render the articles of first necessity as cheap as is possible. It is with this object that we have diminished the duties on primary articles, signed a treaty of commerce with England, pro posed to contract others with neighbouring States, and given every facility to the means communication and transport. In order to realise these economical reforms, r have renounced 90 millions of annual receipts and, nevertheless, the:Budget will,present an equi librium, without its having been necessary to have recourse either to the creation of new imposts or to the public credit, as I announced to you last year. Tho changes which have taken place in the administration of Algeria have placed the su preme direction of affairs in the heart of the population. The illustrious services o 1 the Marshal who is placed at the head of the colony form a suffi cient guarantee of order and prosperity. With regard to foreign affairs I am forced to premise, in my relations with the five Great Powers, that France sincerely desires peace; that without renouncing her legitimate influence she will not pretend to intermeddle in any part where her interests are not involved; in fine, that if she has sympathies with all that is noble and great, she will not hesitate to condemn all that violates the right of individuals and of justice. Events difficult to foresee have complicated in Italy a situation already so much embarrassed. My Government, in accordance with its allies, have believed that the best method of avoiding greater dangers was to,have recourse to that principle of our interventions, which leaves each country master of its own destiny, localises such questions, and pre vents them from degenerating into European con flicts. Certes, lam Rot ignorant that this system has the inconvenience of appearing to authorise many serious excesses ; and those of extreme opinions would prefer, on the one side, that France should suppress all revolutions ; and the other side that she should put herself at the head of a general reaction. I shall not consent to be turned from my resolution by any of these opposing agitators. It is necessary, for the greatness of the country, to maintain its rights where they are incontestable ; to defend its honour where it is attacked ; to lend its support where it is invoked in aid of a just cause. It is thus that we have maintained our right in consenting to accept the cession of Savoy and Nice. These provinces are now irrevocably reunited to France. It is thus that, to avenge our honour in the extreme East, our flag, in unison with that o f Great _ Britain, has waved victoriously from the walls of Pekin, and that the Cross, o em blem Christian civilisation ; crowns an ew in the capital of China the temples of OUT religion that hay been closed for more than a centu r y . h u manity Europ o e u a r n troop ha l v t e i g s o t n h e us to th S a y t Syria , n i a, the in nam e u o e f of a believed it to be fanaticism. At 801116 I Con vention, to protect the Christians against blind my duty to increase the garrison w h en the o f the Holy Father appeared to be threatened .o I sent my fleet to Gaeta, at the pe r iod w hen it appeared to be the last refuge of th e Ki ng of Naples. After having left it th ere f our mon th s sec I withdrew it, notwithstanding the unfortunate King so nobly supported, was worthy of sympathy. The presence of our ships caused us daily to ignore the system of neutrality which I had proclaimed, and it gave rise to erroneous interpretations, for you know that in politics no one ever believes that any step is purely disinteresttheed. general Such i s a ra pid explanation of state of affairs. Therefore, let apprehensions be dissipated, and let confidence be re-estab lished. Why should not commerce and indus try be renewed with fresh vigour ? My firra resolution is not to enter into any conflict where the cause of France will not be based upon right and justice. What, then, have we to fear ? Can it be possible that a united and combined nation, amounting to forty millions of souls, can dread either to be drawn into contentions of which she does not approve the object, or to be provoked by any menace whatsoever. The first duty of a people is to have confidence in themselves, end not to allow themselves to be carried away by imaginary fears. Let us calmly look forward into the future, then, in the full confidence of our strength as of our honest intentions, Let us give ourselves up without over-anxious considerations to the develop ment of those germs of prosperity that Providence has put into our hands. j l~ y 7
