CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There has been a good demand for monk y to day In th e general market at 3i 4 per cent. for the best e wbmercial bills. Since Monday last the imports of specie have mounted to £567,000, and the exports to £757,000. A further sum of £45,00u in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. In the foreign exchtmges yesterday afternoon the ~..° IIIY change of importance was a rise , in the rates on 4 :Aland. The following remarks upon the prospects of trade are from Messrs. J. Travers and Sons' weekly elreular:—" In every quarter indications are ob eervable that the general trade of the country is in It !I exceedingly satisfactory condition. Except in t ae Stock Exchange, there is a complete absence Of unhealthy speculation, while at the dame time the weekly traffic returns of the rail lvays of the United Kingdom fully prove, b oth as regards passengers and goods, that the amount of business is steadily increasing. It is alBO worthy of notice that, during the last 10 or 15 Years there has not been a period so completely free as the present from commercial failures of any kind. The Customs and Excise receipts are, it is believed, e erning in satisfactorily, and hence it is confidently expected that the Chancellor of the Exchequer (al !hough in all allusions to his forthcoming Budget be has thought it necessary to remind the public that t he possibility of reductions being made must de- Pend, in some degree, upon experience yet to be ac qtlired before the end of the quarter) will be able to realise in the way of ameliorations at least as much as he has at any time permitted himself to anticipate.

The Crush at the Royal Procession.--Another Death. Yesterday morning Mr. Humphreys opened an trquiry at the Black Boy Tavein, High-street, kipping, respectii g the death of Jane Darling, aged fifty-eight. Elspeth Crutenden, of No. 125, High-street, Wu p- Ping, said that the deceased was her sister, and on t he 7th of March she left home at half-past ten o'clock to see the procession. She was quite well, and was alone. About five o'clock she was brought i home in a cab, when she had a broken arm, a °lblek eye, and was much bruised over the body. Witness got her to bed,nnd sent for a surgeon, when the deceased informed witness that after the proces on had passed sne was standing near the front of the premises of Messrs. Dean and Co., in King William -street, and while in the act of making her . tay towards the Monument she was forced down 1 Y the rush of the crowd and trampled upon. She (deceased) then became insensible, and when she e%lne to she found herself in the London Hospital, where she was taken in a cab. Her are\ was set, and after a short time she was removed to her hom e at her own request. The deceased seemed to get a little letter, but she became worse, and died on the 17th inst. Mr. Wood, surgeon, of Wapping, said that he was called to the deceased, and had attended her since. Re had made a post-mortem examination of the body, and. found that she had suffered from fatty degeneration of the heart, which had clearly acce lerates? her death. The deceased might have lived f or years if she had not received such serious inju ries. The Jury concurred in an opinion expressed by the coroner condemnatory of the arrangements of Ply , city police, at.d returned a verdict "That the injuries which had caused death were accidental."

SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) TRYING TO MAKE A MAN PROVE WHAT HE OWES.-SIN- 0 *MAR CASE.-BANDALL V. STANSBY. This was an action to recover £4 lOs for goods alleged to have been sold and delivered. Upon a previous oocasion the plaintiff could only prove that he had received a letter from some person, and had sent the goods upon receipt of it. His Honour intimated that this was not sufficient, and plaintiff's attorney said he expected defendant would have been present to have admitted it. His Honour—Plaintiffs are bound to come properly pre pared, and must not speculate upon a defendant coming forward to admit everything. Upon this an adjournment was taken, and plaintiff again attended with his attorney, who said. " I have this time subpoenaed the defendant." Defendant did not appear, and wa , then called upon his subpoena. Mr. Stansby did not answer, and plaintiff's attorney asked that he be fined. His Honour—No, I cannot fine him ; you can sue him under the statute of Elizabeth for a £lO penalty. Plaintiff's Attorney—Perhaps I can get ( n without him. Plaintiff—l received a letter and sent the goods, That is all I can say. _ His Honour—And that i 3 not sufficient, (Laughter.) Attorney—l think yGu ought to fine defendant. His Honour—No; he may he ill or dead, and if so, he cannot be here. You very well know what the plaintiff was prepared to prove on the last occasion, and ho proves no more now. Attorney—Defendant ought to be here. His Honour—He could not if he were dead. You must sue him for the penalty, and I dare say plaintiff would rather have £lO than £4 15s. I shall now nonsuit you. Plaintiff nonsuited. JURIES ANT' THE SMASHERS-REVENGE EXTRAORDINARY. EXTRAORDINARY CASE. A case of alleged perjury of a most remarkable nature has just occurred at Croydon. At the County Court, en the 9th inst., a widow named Mary Cooper brought an action against Mr. Mar maduke Walker, a gentleman farmer, residing at Addington Lodge, near Croydon, and in whose ser vice she had been for a number of years, to recover the sum of 30s. under an agreement for the main tenance of an illegitimate cbild, of which she al leged he was the father and she the mother. At the trial she produced a child in court, which she posi tively asserted was the one of which she had been delivered, at the house of a Mr. Warren, at Croy don Common, in September, 1862. Mrs. Warren gave evidence to the effect that Mrs. Cooper had not been confined at her house; but the judge, con sidering that the plaintiff most solemnly declared that she had given birth to a child, and that the one product d in court was the same, gave judgment in her favour, at the same time remarking that, if her statement was not true, it would be found out sooner or later, and in that ease her fate would he inevitable. it has since transpired that, on the morning of the County Court action, the widow went to the house of a Mrs. Edwards, a total stranger to her, in a cab, and requested to have the loan of her child, for a short time, as her own was thirty miles away, and she wished to show it to some person at ten o'clock that morning. After a good deal of hesitation Mrs. Edwards was induced to part 'with her baby, and it was the one produced in court, and sworn to in the manner stated. On returning it Mrs. Cooper offered Mrs. Edwards £5 to say nothing about the affair. The circumstances of the County Court action came to her knowledge, how ever, and she lost no time in communicating with Mr. Walker upon the subject. The result has been that a warrant has been issued for the apprehension of Mrs. Cooper on a charge of perjury, and she wilt be brought before the Croydon bench of magistrates for examination to-day (Saturday).

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 21, 1863. EARLE V. HOME This was an action to recover 2s. 6d. for a counterfeit half crown alleged to have been received at defendant's public-house, the Golden Fleece, Queen-street. Plaintiff deposed that he changed a half sovereign at de fendant's h(use, and received three half crowns, one of which was bad. Defendant, when applied to, denied all knowledge of the affair. Defendant said that three quarters of an hour elapsed from the time of the receipt of the change and the bringing back of the coin. He (defendant) was very particular about his silver. His Honour—l am very sorry to say that licensed vic tuallers are fearfully victimised by the smashers, and when the pub icans are in the box as jurymen they convict the smashers whether there is evidence or not, Defendant—Well, I shall for the future. (Laughter.) His Honour—Well, I will just tell you what the foreman of a jury said to me about a coining case. He said that the jury had convicted because, on the previous Saturday, two of the jury had taken three bad half-crowns. So much for the great qualifications of jurymen in the present day. In this case you must pay, as plaintiff swears yours was the only silver he took on the day in question. Verdict for plaintiff. LORD MAYOR'S COURT. (Before the Recorder and Special Jury.) THE NEW DEAD MEAT MARKET.-THE CHURCHWARDENS AND OVERSEERS OF THE PARISH OF ST. SEPULCHRE V. THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF LONDON. This was one of a series of compensation cases, in which public bodies and private individuals seek to recover corn • pensation for buildings and land required by the corpora tion of the City of London for the new dead meat market. Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Pontifex were counsel for the plain tiffs; and Mr. T. Chambers, Q,C. (common sergeant), Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Henry Lewis for the City. The evidence in this case was of the usual kind, being technical, but the plaintffs laid their damages at £15,435, and supported this claim by some professional evidence which set forth that land where the plaintiffs' building was situated (the West London Union, Smithfitld) was well worth IN, per square foot. The lease was held for 97:1 years, and 76 years are yet unexpired. The Guardians had laid out £B,OOO in improvements, and property had been rapidly increasing in value during the past few years, and while the question of the dead meat market had been before the public. The land was well worth a sum of £12,555 at 27 years' purchase. Even this did not adequately represent the value of the lease to the pari h. Illustrations were given by different witnesses of the great value of ground rents in the City of London, and it was generally anticipated that the Corporation would come to some terms, bat the case was proceeaing when this re port left. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,---This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A WIFE.—John Gilbert, a labour ing man, living at 8, Husband-street, was charged with the following assault on his wife, Catherine Gilbert. The wife said that, between 9 and 10 the previous even ing, her husband came home, and she then asked him for some money for bread. He then struck her, and on her asking for mercy he struck her several times, cutting her mouth so badly that she was compelled to go to the hospital. Mr. Knox asked the complainant what her husband struck her with, and how long she had been married. Complainant said her husband used his fist, and that she had been married sixteen years, end had two children. She was quite sober at the time. Weeks, 155 C, said that, hearing cries of " Murder," he went up to the room and found complainant bleeding from the mouth. She said she had been kicked by her husband in the mouth. The prisoner denied it, and said that his wife had fallen down. After taking the prisoner into cus tody, he, by direction of Inspector Bowles, who observed the mouth to be so badly cut. took complainant to the Mid dlesex Hospital, where the wound on her mouth was sewed up, the surgeon stating that it had either been done by a kick or some blunt instrument. Prisoner said on coming home he found his wife drunk, and no food in the house. Mr. Knox said the evidence before him was that the woman was sober last night, and the surgeon said the wound was the result of a kick or some instrument. Ho should like to know what sort of people they were. Weeks made inquiries in the neighbourhood, and found that both complainant and her husband were in the habit of getting intoxicated and quarrelling, there being no dis tinction between them. Mr. Knox said that if he sent the man to prison he should further punish' the complainant by starving her children. He would, therefore, remand the prisoner for a week, and then decide the case. Prisoner was then remanded. THAMES. THE CHAMPION OF THE FEATHER WEIGHTES.—Chas. Lynch, a beer seller and landlord of a small houso of public entertainment, at the corner of Church-lane, Whitechapel, appeared before Mr. Selfe to answer a summons, wnich charged him with unlawfully detaining £5 belonging to a seaman named John Williams. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, in opening the case, said the defendant was a pugilist, and well-known to the world as Charley Lynch, the champion of the feather weights. He had to complain of a most scandalous imposition pnc tised on a sailor. The complainant came home in the ship Sunda three weeks ago, and he went to lodge at the house of a man named Crawley, who took him next day to see the lions of London, and among other places they visited the New York Clipper, kept by the defendant, who told the sailor that he had got into a hornet's nest, and that he wail(' be robbed if he staid any longer in Crawley's dwelling. The defendant so far prevailed on the complainant to leave Crawley and stop in the New York Clipper. That' night the defendant went to a coffee-house in Church-lane, Whitechapel, where ho lodged for the night. On the fol lowing afternoon (Monday, the 2d instent) the sailor re ceived his wages, £l6, and deposited £5 with Lynch which he had since been unable to recover. All the sailor owed to the pugilist did not exceed 10s. The complainant did not have his meals or sleep in the New York Clipper, and all he had of L)nch were five meals, a pot of ale, five glasses of ale, and ss. in money. The sailor had applied over and over again for his money, but could not obtain a farthing, and had been compelled to sell his clothes and raise money to obtain food. No account whatever had been given to the sailor, and on one occasion the defendant when applied to for the money, said that his wife had run away with it. Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, who appeared for the defen dant, said the reason no account was made out was that his client was tillable to write. Mr. Selfe—He could make his mark. (A laugh.) The complainant gave evidence in confirmation of his solicitor's statement, and said he only had alf a bed at the coffee-house. He slept with the defendants barman. a Three police - con stables named Kelly, Andrews, and Howland, said the y waited on to Lynchi,h how Howland, n him c a t a o re- . store the sailor's money, and Lynch said that he h ad no account, but would make out One. The defendan t charged 12s. for bringing the sailor's chest and clothes from the ship Sunda in the London dock, although 2s. tid. was the u sual charge for such a job from the Vict or i a D oc k at Plaistow. H owland also said that Lynch's place was very smal l, and there was not room enough to swin g Mr: Self e —lt i s no t lik e ly that the defen dant would like a cat there. any one to swing a cat there. (Laughter.) Howland —There is only a cellar and two small rooms above, one of which is occupied for the bar. Mr. Joseph Smith said it was highly improbable that the complainant only dr an k a pot an d fi ve g l a sses of ale while he was in Lynch's house, and put in a bill in which the complainant was charged for three weeks' board and lodging. Mr. Selfe said he believed the sailor and his witnesses, and had no doubt the account was cooked since Tuesday, when the police constable Howland waited on the defen dant. There wes no date in the book at that time after March 2. It was quite absurd to charge three weeks' board and lodging; in fact it was a gross attempt at impo sition, He ordered the defendant to return £3 ss. to the sailor, to pay Mr. Young his fee of one guinea, and to pay a fine of ls. If that order was not complied with, the de fendant would be imprisoned for one month, and kept to hard labour. Frightful Catastrophe at Brighton. We remember many alarming accidents that have oc curred by falls from our cliffs,ibut the one that took place on Tuesday afternoon was of a most extraordinary character. We did not see it, but from the way in which it has been described to us by several persons who were eye-witnesses of the accident, it must have been most alarming, and the escapes of certain individuals miraculous. We take the following extract, in the first place, from the police-book : "P. C. Allehureh reports that two horses, attached to a carriage, ran away from the Clarence-mews, at Kemp Town, at 3.30 p.m., went down Eaton-place, and across the road to the cliff, over which they fell, killing both horses, and breaking the carriage to pieces. No one was injured, the coachman not being on his box, and no one inside the vehicle. The carriage and horses belonging to Mr. Humbold, who resides at No. 5, Percival-terrace." The Clarence mews is situated nearly opposite St. Mark's Church, at Kemp Town, and, from the inquiries we have made, we learn that the coachman had harnessed the horses to a vehicle termed a waggonette, in the yard, and had just put on his greatcoat and gloves, and was in every way prepared to take the family out for a drive. As ho was buckling the reins the horses plunged and plunged again, and he en deavoured with all his might to restrain them, but they continued to plunge. He held on as long as he could, but finding that they were overpowering him, he was compelled to let go his hold to save his life, and away the animals bolted at a furious rate, through a field known as Cubitt's field, and their course was directed along St. Ueorge's-road, but running the carriage against some posts, they turned and ran down Eaton-place with great impetuosity, crossing the road to the Esplanade. and passing between an iron pil lar, where water is supplied to the water carts, and a seat, they broke the rails and went headlong over the cliff. There is a terrace walk, about 15 feet in height from the beach, from the Chain-pier to Kemp town, and, in their descent, in bounding upon this embankment, an eye-witness states that they threw a complete somersault on to another causeway below, where some children were in the habit of playing at marbles; but, fortunately, those very children who had been playing only a short time before at this very spot, were at the moment playing under some ba,hing machines, almost close to the causeway, and both they and the machines were uninjured. We are informed that it was a most marvellous escape. It is scarcely necessary to say that, after falling a distance of 70 feet, almost every bone in the animals' bodies was broken, and that they were dead almost instantaneously. Mr. Harvey, of 1, Hanover-place who formerly had the Hanover Cricket Ground, was riding on horseback, and had almost crossed the horses in their path from Eaton-place to the Esplanade, but fortunately pulled up in time to save his life. It was very lucky tha no one was crossing the road at the time. It was singular how the horses could have escaped running against either the water pillar or the seat, for when measured there were but a few inches between the pillar and the seat more than the width of the carriage. We are intormed that the horses had run away t Rice before. We have also heard that they were two valuable animals, and that the estimated loss to the owner is between £2OO and £3OO. —Brighton Gazette. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. TRAFFIC RECEIPTS FOR THE WEEK.

Alexandra made play, followed by Paddy from Cork, Eily O'Connor, and Ireley, in which order they came past the Scand, the others, headed by Amy, lying in a cluster at their heels. Proceeding up the Lammas-hill, Eily O'Connor passed her horses, and shortly afterwards came on with a clear lead, which she increased as she entered the meadows, attended by Red Rose, Ireley, and Paddy from Cork. The latter took the second place on reaching the mile-post, closely followed by Ireley, Sir William, and Meteor; Red Rose, beaten off, bringing up the rear, With little or no altera tion they ran thus across the Star-close, but on rounding the turn for home Paddy from Cork was headed by Ireley, who joined Eily O'Connor at the entrance of the cords, and the pair raced together to the stand; the favourite then drew away, and won easily by three parts of a length; Paddy from emit finished a bad third, Sir William was fourth, Meteor fifth, and Amy sixth ; the others were pulled up, and trotted in some distance in the rear. Grand Annual Steeplechase (handicap) of 20 soya each, 10 ft, and 5 only if declared, with 100 added ; the second saved his stake; about 4 miles; 37 subs, 10 of whom de clared. Mr. W. W.

Betting-7 to 4 agst Sinking Fund, 3to 1 agst Light of Other Days, 4to 1 agst Remunerator, 6 to 1 agst Yaller Gal, and 7 to 1 agst Wee Nell. Remunerator jumped away with the lead, followed by Yaller Gal, Wee Nell, Sinking Fund, and Light of Other Days, in which order they proceeded along the the Swan meadows, and over the cut fence into the common, the leader increasing his advantage at every stride. The water jump in front of the stand he cleared two or or three lengths in advance of Yaller Gal, who was a like distance in front of Wee Nell, after whom came Mr. Baker's two close to gether. Thus they proceeded up the hill, and on reaching the mile-post Remunerator was more than a dozen lengths in front, the others following at wide intervals and in In dian file to the brook a second time, which Wee Nell cleared in advance of the Irish mare,after whom came Sinking Fund and Light of Other Days. On reaching the mile post they got upon closer terms, and passed over the enclosure with out a mistake. On reaching the water jump a second time Remunerator still held tb e lead, with Wee Nell, Light of Other Days, Sinking Fund, and Yaller Gal following in the order we have given them, the latter exhibiting symptoms of defeat, and dropping into the rear as they rose the hill. On reaching its brow Wee Nell was beaten and dropped back, and at the mile post Sinking Fund joined Remunerator ; the pair ran together to the fence into the Star-close, which the favourite cleared in advance, and Remunerator shartly afterwards was headed by Light of Other Days, The two stable companions then came on together, Sinking Fund having a slight lead, which he held to the end, and won against his rider's will by two lengths, a bad third.

Sir Stephen made the running, followed by the favourite, Deception, and Mary Baker. Then came St. James, Forlorn Hope, and Prophet, in which order they proceeded along the meadows and over the two fences in Star-close ; but on reaching the fence _into the:common Homburg rushed to the front, jumped it in advance of Sir Stephen, with the others following in close order, except The Prophet, who having refused the fence out of Star-close was some distance in the roar. The water jump was cleared in admirable style, Sir Stephen going on second, Deception third, Forlorn Hope next, and St. James heading the ruck, whieh was brought up by The Prophet, who refused, and was not persevered with. Proceeding up the hill Sir Stephen resumed his lead, waited upon by Homburg, St, James, and Mary Baker, Deception and Forlorn Hope, side by side, being next. On reappearing in sight Homburg was observed with a decided lead, followed by Mary Baker, Deception, and St. James, to which lot the race was now confined.

Tho favourite, with Huntsman in at tendance, went on in front, and made nearly all the running, the latter winning after a close race home by a length; nothing else near. Polly's rider fell over her head at the water leap, and she refused the next hurdles, whereupon she was stopped. Fearnought was out of the race early from a similar cause, while Maid of the Mill, who was a bad third, was thoroughly outpaced in the last mile. An objet • tion was laid against Huntsman for not being properly qua lified, and the question has been left for the decision of the stewards.

Although the above great race has been announced to be rowed down on the ebb tide from Mortlake to Putney next Saturday, it is not improbable that an alteration may take place in the course. A gentleman of great reputation in aquatic matters, whose experience entitles his opinions to grave consideration, has pointed out to those intimately con cerned the disadvantages which must arise in every point of view by rowing the race down as suggested. The early state of the tide renders it necessary that the race should either be started from Putney at a quarter past 8 in the morning, or from Mortlake down an hour later, so that as far as the convenience of gentlemen anxious to witness the race is concerned no advantage is gained in time, as they would have to be afloat as early for the race down as for the race up, while the advantages of starting the contest from Putney in preference 3o Mortlake must be palpable to all, it being borne in mind that there are no less than 14 steam boats chartered to accompany the race, which must neces sarily, for the safety and convenience ofthose on board, oc cupy an amount of space which the Thames at Putney presents, and which at Mortlake it does not. Throughout the whole of the 19 University races, 12 of which havebeen rowed on the same course, there have been but two started down, and it has always been hitherto - avoided, when pos sible, from the very reasons nowpointed out, which reasons apply as much to the safety and emvenience of the gentle men themselves as to the public at large. Both crews are now rowing in their new boats, built by Messrs. Salter. of Oxford. On Wednesday the Cambridge gentlemen pulled from lock to lock (Cambridge to Baits's Bite) a distance of about three miles and a quarter, occupy ing 21 min. 30 sec., but our last account, received yester day, shows a diminution upon repetition of 24 sec. in time Both crews will be at Putney early in the approaching week to practice over the course, and the Cambridge gen tlemen, who have had the valuable assistance of Mr. T. S. Egan, will have a preliminary race with the London Row ing Club, 12-oared boats, instead of trying their strength as hitherto against a crew of picked watermen, Our last account from Oxford shows they are hardly progressing se; favourably as they themselves would wish. The only change which has taken place in either crew during the week has been the recal of Mr. Awdry, who in the early formation of the crew, rowed No. 2 in the Oxford boat, to No. 6, is lieu of Mr. Parson, the former being of Bailie' and the latter of Trinity. PUGILISM. JOHN DREW AND AARON MOSES (ALIAS YOUNG DUTCH SARl).—According to the arrangement made by the referee on the termination of the proceedings at the ring side on Thursday, the men attended yesterday at the office of Vie stakeholder. After a long statement of circumstances, the stakes were awarded to Drew, the plea of serious injury on the day but one previous being set aside, and his refusal to go on, when called upon by the referee, declared to be a loss of the battle-money on his part. THE CHAMPIONSHIP.—MACE AND THE UNKNOWN.— Jem Mace is indignant that suspicion should be entertained that he was implicated in the concoction of a fictitious match with " The Unknown." For proof, he requests that those gentlemen who have been kind enough to supply the funds, for the match up to the time "The Unknown" forfeited, will put themselves in comumnicati n with the stakeholder, when it will be easily seen what he has received in the shape of battle-money. Mace further wishes it to be made known that he is ready to make a match with any man, for £2OO aside and the belt; or if it will suit King, Jem will make a match with him to fight in three months time, and has deposited £5O with the editor of llell's Life to cover any deposit King may think proper to make, should he feel disposed prior to the match with Heenan.

Tyocke) it blew a strong gale from the north, with a heavy sea. About 8.30 p.m. the Pandema, a large brigantine; belonging to Ply mouth, from Cardiff to London, laden with iron, Norman, master, struck on the Doomed Bar sand. bank. About 9 p.m. the Albert Edward lifeboat, of the National Lifeboat Institution, was launched, and took off the crew of eight men, When land ing the crew, the Betsy, a schooner belonging to Brixham, from Port Talbot to Plymouth, laden with coals, also struck on the Doomed Bar. Imme diately the crew of the Pandema were set on shore, the lifeboat again started for the Betsy, and took from her the crew of five men, and brought them likewise safely to the shore. After wards the lifeboat's crew spent the whole night in assisting to get the Pandema from her dangerous position. Both vessels are now in safety, but much injured, and making a great deal of water. With the special permission of the late Prince Consort the Padstow lifeboat was named the Albert Edward, after the Prince of Wales, who is also Duke of Cornwall. By a singular and happy coincide nce the lifeboat was, under God, the means of s a n g four poor creatures from an inevitable death ontl2 e Prince attained November last, on the very da y that the attained his majority. ST. IvEs, CORNWALL, Thursday Ni gh t . --A . —A heavy gale raged here yest erda y , and at the time ther e were five vessels at anchor in St. Ives Roads, in cluding two Norwegian ships. During the fury of the storm it was quite expected that some one or other of the ships would part from their anchors. It was therefore deemed prudent to have the life boat National Institution ready for instantaneous service. Her crew were accordingly on the watch all night. Fortunately the vessels rode out the gale in safety. The neighbouring lifeboat at Padstow performed last , night some no bl e serv i ces to two s hipwrecked crews.

In the debate in the Senate on the Polish ques tion, Prince Napoleon well sustained his reputation as the moat effective speaker in the Assembly of which he is a member. Power of language, skill in reasoning, knowledge of his subject, are all at his command, and are marked by a spirit and fire which arrest the attention and extort the praise even of those who most dissent from him. The way in which ho demolished the elaborate apology set up for Russia by the Marquis de la Rochejaquelein, shows the accomplished debater, never at a loss to meet successfully the arguments of his adversary. He may not have inherited the military genius of his made, but in reading his speeches we must admit that he would have taken a distinguishet: place by the side of the great orators of the first French revolution. The Prince's aim was that France should intervene in behalf of Poland, not merely by means of negotiation or remonstrance, but with arms, The contrast between his bold harangue and the cautious language of the Minister is remarkable. Yet it may be more apparent than real, and there are people who believe that tho Emperor is willing to see the effect produced out of doors by his cousin's fervid appeal—to feel, as it were, the pulse of the public before committing himself to any more decisive policy—to see, in fact, how far the French people, who sympathize to a man with Poland, would approve another war with Russia, and who also believe that the speech which every one has read, was known and not disap proved in the highest quarter before it was de. livered. I have reason to think that those persons are correct, and though some of his Majesty's Minis ters seriously contemplated for a moment prevent ing:its publication in the Moniteur, they concluded, rightly that its suppression would not be well viewed in the highest quarter. This was not the only step to be taken ; for, to avoid the impression that might be produced by a debate on Poland, the draught of a Senatus-consultnm was prepared with a view to limit the right of petition to French citizens. The Prince spoke in the course of his speech about England, and he did so in allusion to some unfriendly remarks made by Senator Bonjean the day before. lie had heard it stated, he observed, that the policy of England was selfish. He admitted it was so, but he turned the argument against his own Government. If the policy of England was selfish, it was selfish with respect to acts. The French Government had nothing to fear from Eng land when action was once determined upon ; and English policy would cease to be adverse the moment the conduct of the French Government was of a nature not to offend public opinion. The very qualities that distinguished England made her as a Power often timid, and slow to act, even in cases where her own greatest in terests were concerned. The English were a commercial and manufacturing people ; they set their interests above everything ; and if they had the defects of such a people, they had also the good qualities. He cited in proof of his assertion the manner of proceeding in the affairs of the East. England had a greater desire and a greater necessity than France to act; and yet when the English fleet quitted Salamis for Constantinople, it was after the orders given by the French Government to its own fleet to proceed thither. The English Government, though it had more momentous interests than France to defend in those parts, yet from its re served habits, its reticence, its unwillingness to en gage itself in great affairs, remained in inaction, and it was the French Government which drew it on. This was an undoubted fact. There was nothing, therefore, to be apprehended from that quarter. He neither praised nor blamed, he merely stated facts with impartiality. No, there was nothing to be apprehended from England. England would never be against France on such a question. Public opi nion would prevent it ; and the defects which made England cold and slow in assuming an active policy were precisely those which would have the effect of preventing her from acting against France. The sentiments thus expressed by Prince Napo leon as to the probable attitude of England in the event of more decisive steps on the part of France are shared by the Emperor, and, from all I can gather of their opinion, by the French people, whose feeling towards the Polish insurgents is un mistakeable. The French Ministers do not appear to be agreed on what they should state to the public. M. Billault's position does not correspond with his sentiments. He was, in times not far gone by, one of the most fervid denouncers of the policy of acquiescence on the subject of Poland; and if he appear in another character now, he does so from his obligations as standing orator for the Govern ment. But he is not—and I think he knows it— le interpreter of the Imperial will, nor the deposi tary of his secret. He says no more than what is set down for him in his instructions. Every one has remarked the notable difference between his lan guage in the Legislative Body and that of his col league M. Walewski in the Senate, who spoke so as to merit the thanks of Prince Napoleon. MARKETS--This Day.
