CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand for discount accommodation today has been steadily maintained, and 2i per cent. is the minimum quotation in the open market for the best descriptions of three months bills. The Europa from America has brought £36,000 in specie. 5 A telegram received by the Peninsular and Orien tal Company states that the whole of the mails and the entire cargo have been recovered by Heinke's di ving apparatus from the wreck of the Colombo. Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool: cotton market to-day was quiet but steady ; sales about 4,000 bales. The Three per Cent. Rente3 opened to-day, at Paris, at 69f. 70c. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the share holders of the Bank of London was held to-day, Sir John V. Shelley, Bart., presiding. The follow- ing report was submitted to the shareholders:— The directors have the pleasure of submitting to the shareholders the annexed statement of accounts, which s show that She balance of profit upon the operations of the past half-year amounts to £42,798 16s. 6d. From this slim 2 have been defrayed the current expenses of the establish- 1 went, and full provision made for all bad or doubtful debts ; allowing also for rebate of interest on bills dis- e counted not yet due, there remains for disposal the sum of £27,069 7s. 3d. The directors appropriate £1,617 ss. sd. to the liquidation of the balance of preliminary expenses, and they apply the usual amount of 2 1 ,i0 in reduction of the cost I of the lease and buildings at the Charing cross branch. They declare a dividend at the rate of £lO per cent. per ; annum, free of income tax,and transfer XlO,OOO to the reserve fund, which, by such addition, is increased to £82,000. The balance, viz., £252 ls, 10d., is carried to the credit of profit and loss account of the current half-year. The Chairman, in moving that the report and accounts be received, congratulated the shareholders upon the very satisfactory status of the bank and its operations during the past half year. All the items in the accaunt shJwed tt vi- gorous improvement, particularly with respect to the deposits, which had increased more than £1,250,000 during the past year. The value of n money had been extremely low, which, added to the commercial distress that had prevailed, had been most prejudicial to banking operations; but, notwithstanding these material drawbacks, the directors were enabled to show a larger profit than was ever made since the establishment of their institution. These facts should con• Tina: the shareholders that the system adopted by the directors must be continuously successful. • Another satisfactory feature in the report was the large addition made:to the reserve fund, which now amounted to 182,000. On the previr,u3 occasion he ventured to predict that the directors would at the present meeting be able to declare an increased 1 dividend of 10 per cent.; that prediction was now verified, and from the present state and influence of 8 1 1' their bank, he would again say that they possessed every guarantee for future and increased success. The report and accounts were then unanimously adopted, and after a vote of thanks to the direc tors and managers, the meeting broke up. There was also a meeting to-day of the Metropo litan and Provincial Bank proprietors, when the directors' report was adopted. The balance .sheet for the half-year coding 31st December last, showed a net profit of £13,409 1 ls., including the amount brought forward from the 30th June, acd after de ducting the interest on deposit and current accounts. el Of this, the sum of £6,000 is the premium on the ®, issue of 3,000 additional shares ; and the directors S ' have set aside that amount as a reserved fund. et ! The directors recommended that a dividend for the half-year be declated, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, and that the same be Payable on and after the 26th inst. Lord Fermoy, M.P., presided, and in moving the reception of the report and accounts, observed that the bank continued to make great progress. The statement of accounts showed that there was upwards of half a million of deposits, while there:was an absence of anything like bad debts. The directors did not possess a single current bill that occasioned them the least anxiety ; they had a reserve fund, amount ing to £6,000, had written off £l,OOO from the pre liminary expenses, and transferred to the new ac count of profit and loss the sum of £853. The re port was, after a discussion, unanimously adopted. A long discussion, however, ensued upon a motion for the re-election of directors, and, after an hour's debite, Messrs, Geary, Kirkby, and Margetson were unanimously elected. Very little business has taken place in the Eng lish Steck Market to-day, but the tendency has continued unfavourable. Consols were 921 1 for transfer, and 921 for account, being a little lower than on Saturday. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced have declined to 921 Q ; Exchequer Bills, to 48. and Bs. premium ; Bank Stock is 236, and India 5 per Cent. Loan is 1081 1. The transactions in the Foreign Market have been rather circumscribed. Greek Bonds have been depressed, dealings having taken place at 15 1 ; Italian Railway Loan has receded to 72* s ; Spanish Passive to 241 8 ; ditto, Certificates, to 91 ; Peruvian New Loan to 88 ; Portuguese ditto to 461; Ruesian ditto is steady at 951 96; Vene zuelan 611 ; Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, are 85 8 6 ; ditto 1858, 70* 71 ; d i tto, 1 862, 6681; and the Consolides, 40* B. The dealings in the Railway Share Market con tinued very inactive, and prices generally were a shade flatter. Great Easterns, Great Westerns, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and South Easterns each declined ss. ; while North British and North Eastern (Berwick) improved ss. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there was very little animation. Bahia and San Fran cisco declined to 21* 1; San Paulo Scrip to 91; and South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian remained steady at 231; Scindes declined:to 1051 106 ; East India advanced to 1071; and Great Indian Penin sula to 1061. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares were in fair request, without material changes in values. London and Westminster improved to 82 ; Chartered of British Columbia to 91; London Joint Stock brought 341 1; Union of Australia, 61 ; and Union of London, 321 ; Crystal Palace Stock declined to 32* 33 ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam advanced to 741; and London General Omnibus Company realised 11 y. The British and American Exchange Bank are 516 prem. BRITISH FUNDS —CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock 236 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 3 per Cent. Consols Annuities New 3 per Cent.

At Manchester both cloths and yarns have advanced, owing to an increased inquiry for the India and China markets. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Hudders field has been more animated ; the chief dealings, however, have been in light goods for spring and summer requirements. The hosiery and lace trades at Leicester and Nottingham have remained without any material variation, while in the hard ware districts, viz , of Birmingham, Sheffield, and L Wolverhampton there has beenrather more act i v it y of moot branches of Waimea. COLONIAL APPOINTMENTS.—The Queen has been pleased to appoint Mr. Henry Newton, of the Bombay civil service, to b; a judge of the High Court at Bombay, in the room of Mr. W. E. Frere, who has resigned. J. R. Semper, Esq., has been appointed member of the Exec utive Council of the island of Antigua ; William Robinson, Esq., presi dent and senior member of the Executive Council of the island of Montserrat, Edwin Donald Baynes, Esq., and Dr. William Steventon to be members of the Executive Council of the island of Montserrat; George D. Harris, Esq., and Timothy Darling, Esq., members of the Executive Council of the Bahama Islands; R. Hutchison, Esq., and G. Blankson, Esq., members of the Legislative Council of her Majesty's forts and settlements on the Gold Coast ; Charles Boyes, Esq., a member of the Legislative Council of the island of Jamaica. MR. CHARLES DICKENS'S READINGS IN PARIS. —Mr. Charles Dickens's soiree at the Embassy, for the benefit of theßritish Charitable Fund, has been a great success, writes our Paris correspondent. He read as abridg ment of " David Copperfield," so skilfully arranged as to make a complete drama, with a light and serious plot inter woven. Lord Cowley's large drawing room was quite filled by a fashionable audience—ladies, all in evening dress, form ing the majority. The reading lasted scarcely more than an hour and a half, and it is wonderful to think what varied emotions passed through the mind in that short space of time. Mr. Dickens does as he likes with his audience. They are as clay in the hands of the potter, and take any shape that he desires. The transition from the roars of laughter at Micawber and Mrs. Crupp, to the solemn silence withwhich the pathetic story of Peggotty and Emily was listened to, struck me as a marvellous homage to a master-mind. I am told there were about 300 people in the room, and as the price of admission was 20f., Mr. Dickens must have the gratifying reflection that, besides affording immense pleasure to countrymen abroad, many of whom he knew in former days, and were rejoiced, after long absence, to see him looking young and well, he has been the means of putting a handsome sum into the treasury of an excel lent charity. ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT EASTERN.—LIVERPOOL, Saturday.—The Great Eastern has arrived with ad vices from New York to the sth. Her comparatively long voyage is occasioned by easterly winds and her very heavy cargo, upwards of 3,000 tons of grain, &c., her draught of water on her arrival here being 28 feet. Mr. Richard Partridge, of Varty, Monmouthshire, died on the passage. Mrs. Captain Paton was confined of a son on the 15th inst. On Friday afternoon the cabin passengers presented to Cap tain Paton a testimonial, in which they desire to thank him, and to extend their thanks even to the most subordinate officers of the ship, for the uniform kindness and con sideration which they experienced on the voyage—kindness and attention which made the voyage partake more of the nature of a pleasure trip than a winter excursion across the Atlantic. They also express their high satisfaction with the ship and her performances in every respect. The second and third class passengers also joined in a similar testi monial; and all classes speak in highly favourable terms of the ship as affording an immunity from sea- s i c k ness , an d ex press themselves as hopeful—indeed, cer t a i n, that the great ship will prove herself in every way successful, both as a passenger and as a cargo ship. SOUTHAMPTON DOCK COMPANY .—The directors have unanimously elected Admiral Sir Provo William Parry Willis, K.C.8., to the vacant seat at the Boarl, caused by the decease of the late Mr. B. M.

This r ink, which is without an equal Canada, contains a s katin g s p ace 202 ft. long by 80ft. w in e sur rounded by a broad p romenade, the entire surface being' spanned by a semicircle, forming at once both sides and roof. The immense banding was well lit by six pendant rings or stars of gas, while all around the space blazed a row of single burners, 480 in all, making the rink almost as bright as day, and lighting up the ice and the many colours which slid over it. Since the evening of the Prince's ball Mon treal has not so seen so brilliant an effect produced at any soc i a l gathering. Th e band of the 47th Regiment played appropriate airs, w hile hundreds of skaters, ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys, flitted about on the ice in one ever moving scene. There is something almost fairy-like in the way in which a good skatress glides over the ice. It has such a graceful effect that we shall take the liberty of citing a hint from n New York contemporary. Ladies should wear dresses without hoops. The English ladies' dress, worn so much at present, is well adapted for skating. It is a rather tight dress, not reaching below the ankles, which are hidden by laced -u p boots —tight cloak, and skati t n h g i e porkpie hat with its jaunty feather.

The supply of wheat on sale in thtkountry markets held oat Saturday was by no means extensive. The trade, how ever, ruled inactive, yet prices on the whole were steadily supported. Good and fine malting barley was in request at extreme rates ; otherwise, the demand for spring corn was somewhat restricted. In flour only a moderate business was transacted at late rates. On the Continent the corn trade is steady at full prices. Advices from New York report a moderate inquiry for wheat and flour on English account. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 2,2469 quarters of wheat, 23,469 barley, 68,224 oats, 1,709 beans, 1,437 tares, 3,270 linseed, 1,208, rapeseed, 2,481 maize, 276 sundry, 170 sacks and 5,429 barrels of flour. • Fresh up to our market, this morning, the arrivals of home-grown wheat were small, and the condition exhibited but little improvement, when compared with Monday last. Dry samples were in slow request, at barely last Monday's currency ; otherwise, the trade was dull, and sales could only be effected by submittng to a reduction, compared with this day se'nnight, of is. per quarter. At the close o business a total clearance had not been made. The market was well suppliei with foreign wheat. in all descriptions, sales progressed slowly—in good and fine Dantzic at last Monday's quotations; but in red American) Russian, and Egyptian produce, at barely that day's rates. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow demand, on former terms. The supply of malting barley was very small, and the trade for this description ruled very firm, at extreme rates. Grinding and distilling sorts—the supply of which was moderately extensive—moved off slowly, at a decline of 6d to Is per quarter. The business done in malt was but moderate. The cur rencies, however, ruled firm. Compared with Monday last the sapply of oats showed a considerable increase, and there was less activity in the demand for all qualities, at an almost general decline of ls. per quarter. Beans, with which the market was f4rlysupplied, moved off slowly, on former terms. There was only a moderate supply of peas on the stands, yet the trade ruled far from active, at late rates. In most kinds of flour a moderate business was transacted, and the quotations, almost generally, were steadily main tained.

WESTMINSTER. FRAUDULENTLY OBTAINING GOODS IN THE NAME OF SIR MOSES MONTEFIORE.—George Hine, a tall young man, of fashionable exterior, was placed at the bar, charged with fraudulently obtaining five pairs of boots. Mr. Riohard Manning, of 1, Ebury-street, boot and shoe maker, said—Prisoner lodged with me from the beginning of last August to the 23d of September, and afterwards. On that day he gave me a bill for £33, which he owed me, and that bill was subsequently dishonoured. On the same day he told me he had obtained an engagement to go with Sir Moses Montefiore as companion to him to Nice, and was to receive £2OO for the journey. He said he wanted boots to appear in his situation becomingly ; and, as he should have to appear in the society of gentlemen, he wanted two pair of dress boots, two pair of stout walking boots, and a pair of medium. These amounted to £5 145., and the last part of them were supplied to him on the 26th of Septem ber. I found the statement prisoner had made to me was false, Mr. Arnold—Have you seen Sir Moses Montefiore ? Prosecutor—l saw him on the 19th of December at his house of business in the City, and I then found that there was no truth in the prisoner's statement ; the prisoner is unknown to Sir Moses Montefiore, except by hearsay ; he knows his father to be a very respectable man. Prisoner has since been in the Bankruptcy Court, and is now a bankrupt. Prisoner—l had the boots he speaks of before the 23d, and he took the bill I gave him, of which he has spoken, in full discharge of all liabilities, and I can prove it. Mr. Arnold (to prosecutor)—Did he have the five pair of boots, or any of them, before the representation you say he made on the 23d. Prosecutor—He did not. Mr. Arnold—Would you have supplied him with the five pairs of boots but for the representations made by him that he had obtained the appointment of companion to Sir Moses Montefiore ? Prosecutor—Certainly not. Psisoner was remanded for a week, Mr. Arnold said he would take bail for him. COLONIAL DISPROPORTION OF SEXES.—A West India paper records an atrocious murder in Deme rara last month. A Coolie labourer, advanced in years, had brought up from her infancy a girl, who being now 16, had recently lived with him as his wife. The man being ex cited by the apprehension that she was about to leave him to live with a young man, hacked her to death. The jour nal calls attention to the frequent murders of women, as a consequence of the disproportion of the sexes in which the immigrants have been introduced. That disproportion, it is admitted, is not attended with the same result among the Chinese immigrants, but then it is stated that they have imported a fearful amount of vice of the most brutish and degrading type. Napoleon lll.'s Government has had the good sense to complete the trst system of defence in Paris. It has pushed the Rue de Rivoli up to the Rue St. Antoine. It has snapped the opaque compact quarters of Saint Denis and Saint Martin ; it has cut this quarter-general of insur rection into five or six pieces that could be attacked or turned with cavalry or artillery ; it has disengaged the Hotel de Ville and has covered it with a barrack which commands at the same time the quay and the Rue de Rivoli; it has raised at the extremity of the centre halles a blockhouse in stone, which commands the point of Saint Eustache it has constructed at the entrance of the Faubourg of the Temple the monumental barrack of Prince Eugene ; lastly, it hss finished the place d'artnes of the Louvre and the Carrousel. The position could not now be carried without cannon. This is a weapon which revolt does not find at the gunmaker's. This is the reason why Paris here teen de molished. The object is to make an intrenched Camp of Paris and a quadrilateral of the Louvre; with that and the Imperial Guard for garrison, the principle of authority may go to sleep. The honest population will not see again men in aprons with a pot of paste in their hands gravely placard ing the streets with the announcement of a new Govern ment.—lickton's 21rovogo ? - Mt METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. For the time of year, our market to-day was well sup plied with foreign stock as to number, but its general quality was by no means first-rate. Sales progressed heavily, and prices had a drooping tendency. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning were on the increase, and of greatly improved quality. Those from Scotland were rather ex tensive, but only 120 head came to hand from Ireland. Although the attendance of buyers was somewhat nume rous, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at a decline in the quotations compared with Monday last of 2d per 81b. The top figure for Scots was 4s 10d, but a few very superior shorthorns realised 4s 8d per Blbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,200 Scots, crosses, and shorthorns; from other parts of England 900 various breeds, from Scotland 620 Scots and crosses, and from Ireland 120 oxen and heifers. Notwithstanding that the show of sheep was very mid dling, both as to number and quality, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state. Prime Downs and half-breds supported last week's currency, but all other breeds gave way 2d per 81b. The highest figure for mutton wa s 5 s 10d per 81b. Calves, the supply of which was moderate, sold at Thurs day's advance in prices of 4d per 81b. The quotations ranged from 4s to 6s per 81b.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. ;Before the Lord Chief Justice, Justices Blackburn, Cromp- ton, and Wightman.) BAYLEY V. EDWARDS. In this case, which was tried before Mr. Justice Black burn a few days ago, and a verdict returned for the defen dant, with leave to the plaintiff to move the court to enter it in his favour, Mr. Coleridge this morning made an appli cation to that effect, and also on the ground of misdirection. The bill was accepted by Edwards, the parties suing upon this instrument were Messrs. Crawshay, Bailey, thebankers, and the plea upon which Edwards refused to liquidate the bill was that there was no value. The amount of sum in dispute was £127. The question was a very complicated one. After hearing the learned gentleman at some length, The Court granted a rule on a point of law reserved at the trial. SITTINGS AT GUILDHALL. (Before Mr. Justice Mellor and a common Jury.) HANKS V. CRIPPS This was an action for the recovery of the payment of a cheque. and the question involved was whether the amount was for services rendered or money lent.

Their lordships were occupied this morning in this case, the question involved being whether the races which annu ally take place at Kingclere, near Carlisle, according to custom upon Holy Thursday, were unalterably to be held on that day. It was contended that as Holy Thursday might fall between the Ist of May and the 4th of June, no day, in fact, was fixed. The Court said it would announce its decree to-morrow. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. COMMITTAL FOR THE FULL TERM FOR A MURDEROUS ASBAULT.--Julia Sweeney, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following assault : Emma Jones said that on Saturday night she went into the City of London public house, when the prisoner fol lowed her in, and began abusing her ; using the most dis gusting language. Not wishing to have anything to do with the prisoner, who about three months ago had bitten off the end of her finger, but had kept out of her way ever since, she (prosecutrix) left the house, when the prisoner seized her, and struck her two violent blows on the head, and rendering her insensible. On recovering her senses, she found that she had received two wounds on the head, and was taken to the Middlesex Hospital, where her head was dressed. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prosecutrix why the prisoner was so angry with her, and she said that she had lived with a young man who had been acquainted with the prisoner. Weeks, 155 C, after producing a certificate from the Mid dlesex Hospital, stating that prosecutrix had received some injuries on the head, said that on entering the public-house he saw the prisoner holding prosecutrix by the hair with one hand, while with a pint pot which she held in the other hand, she was hammering away at the prosecutrix's head. He seized the pot from the prisoner's hand, and took the prosecutrix, who had been rendered insensible by the blows she had received, to the Middlesex Hospital, another con stable taking prisoner to the station. The prisoner's defence showed that there was a feeling of ill-will and jealousy existing on her part towards prose cutrix. Mr. Tyrwhitt said there was a sort of feud existing be tween the prisoner and the prosecutrix, and the former had been guilty of a violent assault, and might have killed the prosecutrix, and he had no doubt meant to do so. If he sent the case to the sessions probably the prosecutrix would not appear, he should therefore send her for six months, with hard labour. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK.

Fortunately neither men nor coal were in the cages at the time, and no serious injury was caused by the fall of one of the cages to the bottom. A new casting was of course requisite, and this was obtained in the course of the day, a small windlass being fitted up to supply the men with provisions. The cotter having been replaced an attempt was made to start the engine, when it was found that the first fracture had caused a second and much more serious one, the piston being broken and a new one rendered necessary. Imme diate orders were given for this, but it didnot arrive till eight o'clock on Saturday morning, and the engine did not begin to work till nearly eleven. In twenty minutes the whole of the 58 were on the surface, receiving the congratulations of their rela tives and friends. Some were a little dazzled by the broad daylight, and all had faces which even the colliers on the pit bank thought remarkably black. When all were up the party assembled at the shaft and sang, no doubt with thankful hearts, the Old Hundredth Psalm. Nor was Mr. Mercer forgotten, hearty cheers being give' for him be fore the men returned home, after an incarceration of 54 hours. The proprietor of the colliery has been most assiduous in his exertions for the forwarding of the castings in order to release the captives; and he has also attended to their wants with the libe rality which always characterises his actions. Pro. visions in abundance have gone down the shaft, as well as a large quantity of tobacco, sundry news papers, and some other little things which he thought might add to the comfort of the men. All the work having been done that could be done, the time seems to have passed rather pleasantly than otherwise, singing and dancing being kept up with very little intermission, the only fear of the impri soned being for their wives and families, for whom many brief letters were attached to the rope when I rewound on the windlass.

He strode into it with the Professor's gown hanging loosely upon his arms, took a comprehensive look over the mob of young faces, laid down his watch so as to be out of the reach of his sledge-hammer fist, glanced at the notes of his lecture, generally written on the most wonderful scraps of paper, and thee, to the bewildermoat of those wh ohad never heard him before, looked lo n g and earnestly out of Kirk, until, north window towards the s p ire of the old Tron until having at last got his idea, he faced round and . uttered it with eye and hand, and v?ico and soul, and spirit, and bore the class along with him. A! he spoke, the bright blue eye looked with strange gaze into vacancy, somet i mes spar kli ng with a coming j oke, somet imes darkening before a rush of indignant eloquence ; the tremulous upper lip curv i ng with every wave of thou g ht or hi nt of passion, an d the golden grey hair floating on th e o l d man ' s m i g hty s houlders, if, indeed, that could be called age which seemed but the immortality of more majestic youth. A n d occa sionally, in the finer ph renzy of his more i mag inative pas sages —as when h e spoke of Alexander clay-cold a t Babylon with the world lying conquered around his tomb, or of the Highland hills that pour their rage of cataracts adown their riven clefts, or even of the human mind with its primssval granitic truths—the grand old face flushed with the proud thought, and the eyes grew dim with tears, and the magni ficent frame quivered with the universal emotion. It was something to have seen Professor Wilson—this, all con fessed ; but it was something also, but more than is gene rally understood, to have studied under him. Mr. Commissioner Goulburn this morning gave his decision in the case of the bankrupt who represented himself to be the nephew of Major-General Logan. His Honour suspended the certificate for twelve months, but grauted protection, THE PUNCH IN MEXICO, The following is a letter from the Emperor Na poleon to, General Forey, Commander-in-Chief of the French army in Mexico. "Fontainebleau, July 3, 1862. " My dear General,--At the moment when you. are about to start for Mexico, charged with political and military powers, I thins it useful to make you well acquainted with my ideas. " The line of conduct you will have to follow is: —l. To publish on your arrival a proclamation, the principal points of which will be indicated to you. 2. To receive with the greatest kindness all the Mexicans who shall present themselves. 3. Not to espouse the quarrel of any party ; to declare that everything is provisional, so long as the Mexican nation shall not have expressed its opinion ; to show great deference to religion, but at the same time to tranquillise the holders of national property. 4. To feed pay, end arm, according to Sour means, the Mexican auxiliary troops, and make them play principal parts in the combats, 5. To maintain among your troops as well as among the auxiliaries, the most severe discipline ; to vigorously repress any act or word insulting to the Mexicans, for the pride of their character must not , he forgotten, and it is important for the success of the enterprise to conciliate the good feelings of the people. ' , When we shall have reached the city of Mexico, it is to be desired that the principal persons of all political shades who shall have embraced our cause should come to an understanding with you to orga nise a Provisional Government. The Government will submit to the Mexican people the question of the political regtms which is to be definitively esta blished. An Assembly will be afterwards elected according to the Mexican laws. " You will aid the new Government to introduce into the Administration, and particularly into the finances, that regularity of which Franco offers the best model. For that purpose men will be sent to second its new organisation. " The object to be attained is not to impose on the Mexicans a form of Government which would f he obnoxious, but to assist them in their efforts to ac.;:c:eing to the's' own wishes, a Govern ment which may have a chance of stability, and can secure to France the settlement of the injuries of which she has to complain. "It follows, as a matter of course, that, if the Mexicans prefer a monarchy, it is for the interest of France to support them in that path. " There will not be wanting people who will ask you why we expend men and money to found a re ., gular Government in Mexico. "In the present state of the civilisation of the world,—the prosperity of America is not a matter of indifference to Europe, for it is that country which feeds our manufactories and gives an impulse to our commerce. We have an interest in the Re public of the United States being powerful and prosperous, but not that she should take possession of the whole of the Gulf of Mexico, thence com mand the Antilles as well as South America, and be the only dispenser of the products of the New World. " We now see by sad experience how precarious is the lot of a branch of manufacture which is com pelled to procure its raw material in a single mar ket, all the vicissitudes of which it has to bear. "If, on the contrary, Mexico maintains her inde pendence and the integrity of her territory, if a stable Government be there constituted with the assistance of France, we shall have restored to the Latin race on the other side the Atlantic all its strength and its prestige; we shall have guaran teed security to our West India colonies and to those of Spain ; we shall have established our friendly influence in the centre of America ; and that influence by creating immense markets for our commerce, will procure us the raw materials indis pensable for our manufactures. " Mexico thus regenerated will always be well disposed towards us, not only out of gratitude, but also because her interests will be in accord with ours, and because she will find support in her friendly relations with European Powers. At present, therefore, oar military honour en gaged, the necessities of our policy, the interests of our industry and commerce, all conspire to make it our duty to march un Mexico, to boldly plant our flag there, and to establish either a monarchy, if not incompatible with the national feeling, or at least a Government which may promise some stabi lity. "NAPOLEON." Death of Mr. R. Green, the Shipowner. It is with regret we announce the death of Mr. Richard Green, the eminent shipowner, of Black wall, which took place on Saturday afternoon. The deceased bad been ailing for some time, and in order that he might be near to his physician he was a few weeks ago removed to his sister's residence, in Regent's-park. In the early part of last week his illness assumed a more serious aspect, and it was evident ho was fast sinking ; he gradually became more exhausted, and died as before stated. He was in his fifty-ninth year, and, in connexion with his younger brother, owned the magnificent fleet of ships, upwards of thirty, which for so many years have traded between the Thames and the East In dian and Australian ports. He was also an exten sive ship-builder, and had constructed numerous steam-frigates and other vessels for the English, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Brazilian navies. In him the Merchant Seamen's Or phan Asylum, the Dreadnought Hospital Ship, and other charities connected with the mer cantile marine, as also those in the east end of the metropolis, have lost a staunch friend. He contri buted towards the maintenance of the chapel and Green's Sailors' Home in the East India-road, on ginated by his father, and he also established a free school for children without regard to any particular creed. By his benevolence the Poplar Hospital was enabled to extend its usefulness and to relieve a large amount of suffering humanity. He took a most lively interest in the success of the Merchant Sea men's Orphan Asylum, of which be was treasurer, and subscribed a munificent sum to the fund for erecting the building at Snaresbrook, the foundation stone of which was laid by the late Prince Consort. He took a prominent part in promoting the organi sation of the Naval Reserve, and we believe that most of the officers and crews of the firm belong to that branch of the nation's service. He was also chairman of the recently established training school on board the Worcester ship in the Thames. Al though not of very strong health he was active in his business habits, and attended by his manager, their ryd Mr. Selfe, he would often visit his ships in the ad jacent dock twice in the course of the day . On the news of his death reaching Poplar lar docks on had Saturday u a afternoon, the shipping in the colours hoisted half mast hi g h, and the shops were partially closed, the bells of the chur c h es and chapels being tolled during the remainder o f th e d ay. Th © deceased gentleman was nev er marr i e d . The Lon don desire to follow the remains of their late patron to the tomb. Amongst the many offices held by the late Mr. Green was the post of vice -commodore of the Royal Thames Yacht Club.

If Yeddo is denuded of population, or if by the de parture of the Daimios it is deprived of all its greatness as a capital, it is evident we shall gain little by insisting on a residence in that city. The departure of the nobility and of their families still goes on, and many houses have not only been stripped of their furniture, but actually pulled down. Several steamers have been bought by the Govern.. ment or by the Daimios, and these, in case of any rupture, would prove of good service to the Japanese, who are well able to manage them. The most important fact in relation to the progress of the revolution is, that official papers, which for three centuries have been Issued in the name of the Tycoon, now bear that of the Emperor, while the cus toms duties at Yokuhama, hitherto collected for the Ty coon, have been ordered to be accounted for to the Treasury at Miako. Evidently a crisis is pending in our relations with Japan, and - the Japanese seem to be provoking us to take the first aggressive step.—London and China Tele graph.
