The Agricultural Monopolists who have been hold ing several public meetings of late, have, at most of these meetings, adopted a tone which is in an inverse ratio to their prospects. While the latter have been, and still continue to be, gloomy and disheartening, the latter has been boastful and exultant in no ordi nary degree. This was more especially the case at the first annual gathering of the Essex Agricultural Protection Society, which took place yesterday at Chelmsford. At this meeting over which the Rev. Mr. Cox presided —parsons, in general, it has been observed, are strongly wedded to the system of Mo nopoly—the Secretary read the Report of the pro ceedings of the Committee during the year, in which, among other matters, the members were congratulated upon the encouraging success which the Society had met with, " they having put down the demoralising and dangerous system of agitation which had been got up by the Anti-Corn-law League, by means of their perambulating paid lecturers." The Report went on to observe that the Protection Society had been in stituted for the express purpose of abating the mis chief of anti-corn-law agitation, and its endeavours had been crowned with entire success. Similar asso ciations had been formed in almost every county in England, " but although their efforts"—we quote the language of the Report—"in the first year of their existence as a body was most cheering ; yet as their enemy was still in the field, and as he had declared his intention never to abate his exer tions until he had met with complete success, it be hoved all Protection Societies to be most vigilant; and the Committee hoped that the efforts of the mem bers of their Association would be redoubled until he was laid in the dust." Our readers cannot fail to observe the absurd contradictory spirit that pervade the passages which we have quoted above from the Report of the Committee of the Essex Protection Society. In the first instance, the Monopolists are congratulated on their having "put down the de moralising and dangerous system" of anti-corn-law agitation. They have not merely " scotched the snake," but they have "killed it." The agitation of the League is not merely checked, but is "put down"—in other words, extinguished. There is no more itinerant lecturing—no more energetic pro vincial meetings—no more active, wide-spread dis tribution of free-trade tracts—all this is at an end ; the Essex Protectionists have willed that it should be so, and so it is ! Presently, however, we find— on the authority of the very same Report that an nounces its extinction that the Anti-Corn-law League, so far from being dead, is not even dying, but, on the contrary, "is still in the field!" Yes, and not only this, but it still continues to be so great a bugbear to the Essex Monopolists—who, like their own ealves, are by no means the wisest of created animals—that they are urgently implored by their Committee to be "most vigilant," and to " re double their efforts " until their enemy should " be laid in the dust !" Strange, that a system of agita tion which, in one sentence is formally and officially declared to be "put down," should in the very next be represented as being still in a state of activt. existence I But, however crafty and sagacious they may be in other matters, no sooner Flo the Monopolists begin to talk of the Anti-Con law League than they seem to be all at once scared from their propriety, and to give free utterance to the most inconsistent and contradictory opinions possible. Though their numerous Protection Societies have, with scarcely an exception, been arrant failures —at least as compared with the extensive popularity achieved by the League—they are constantly boasting of the wonderful success which their virtuous and disinterested efforts have met with; and speak- ing of the antagonist power of the Leaguers as a thing that has no longer an exist ._ ence, while, perhaps in the very same breath, they deplore it as an evil that is not to be crushed without the most herculean and continuous exertions on their psrt! These contradictions and inconsistencies are only to be accounted for on the presumption that the Monopolists are so completely bewildered by the fast increasing moral and numerical power of the great Anti-Corn-law Confederacy, that they really are not aware of the full force of the absurdities to which ,hey give vent when alluding to the disheari ening subject. And this we believe to be the true secret of their recent incoherent utterances. Wt believe that they are quite sagacious enough to foresee that the period is near at hand when the proud and costly fabric which they have erected with so much labour, and kept up with so much difficulty, will fall in ruins to the ground, bringing its architects among the fragments. Men who are incessantly taunted b . ) such melancholy anticipations, may well be excused if they are a little inconsistent and contradictory in their sayings. The speech of the King of the FRENCH on open ing the Chambers on Thursday is important and in teresting, from the absence of those very ingredients which, at other times, would have formed the most impressive matter of such an address from the French throne. It announces no brilliant operations ; it revels on the record of no new victories. These omissions are the guarantees of a continuance of peace and undisturbed tranquillity to the other na tions of Europe. This royal speech, moreover, is conceived in very general terms. But that generality permits us to infer that, happily, there are, at this moment, no salient questions as to which the con flicting policy of France, and of the other States of Europe, requires any special adjustment. The first and third paragraph of the speech felicitate, in fact, the Peers and Deputies on the gratifying circum stance, that the "complications" which had existed on the occasion of his MAJESTY'S last addressing them, and which seemed, for a time, to threaten the safety of the French possessions in Algeria, and also cer tain discussions pending, at the same period, between the Courts of St. James's and the Tuileries, which were calculated to affect the good relations subsisting between the two countries, have now passed away. In the faith that this is so, we congratulate the lovers of peace and order, the friends of civilisation and social improvement, on an aspect of affairs so en couraging for the great and true and permanent interests of mankind. There is a philosophical, as well as dignified tone, about the terms in which Louis PIIILIPPE avows that " a mutual spirit of good-will and equity has maintained, between France and England, that happy accord that guarantees the repose of the world." In the same wise and beneficent spirit the King of the FuEsicn, recurring to his recent visit to our young QUEEN at Windsor, thus expresses himself:— "In that visit " . . . . "I have been surrounded with manifestations the most satisfactory to France and to me. I have gathered in the feelings which have been expressed to me fresh pledges of the long duration of that general peace which secures to our country abroad a situation dignified and strong, and at house a prosperity ever increasing, and the quiet enjoyment of its consti tutional liberties." is ta appiaugury o= the advancement of grew' PRINCESS'S THEATRE, OXFORD-STREET.

Mi ss Browne, the lovely daughter of Lord Oranmore, and nice() to the Dowager Viscountess Dillon Court Journal empires in that career of improvement which time and circumstances may have opened to them, when the Monarchs who },renle over their political ::,sti;.;: - titans are anirna 4- ei of the nubii thus pacific and profound. After all—there could be no moral enormity much greater than for Great Britain and France—in whose destinies the hopes and the welfare are bound up of such vast families .of the human race as acknowledge this dominion, or are brought within their immediate influence, to wage, the one against the other, a war which should be uncalled for by the exigencies of the national honour or of the public security confided to their several Governments. In proportion to the natural and acquired resources of two such mighty countries —the fortunate accidents of their geographical posi tion ; the unprecedented development of these by all the adjuncts of maritime commerce and discovery and relations of commerce, and the incessant demands of luxury and refinement, and the various excellencies of their respective institutions ; in proportion to their means of contributing to the happiness of so many millions of our species, would be the responsibility for their application. Of wars, therefore, waged for specific objects of mere political ambition or terri torial aggrandisement, between twe such empires as France and Great Britain, it would be at any time impossible to overrate the guilt. But, taking into consideration the immense progress which in all pro tracted periods of external peace and domestic tran quillity they have ever made in the march ofall physical and moral ameliorations, their antagonism as combat ants, whenever it can be averted without a sacrifice of the national honour or security we speak of, is a species of treason to the whole human race ! In that really glorious emulation, which proposes for its object the achievement of the greatest possible amount of good for the largest possible portion of mankind, England and France have long ran ahead of all competitors. If her colonial possessions, her incre dibly extended commerce, her well maintained public credit, the untiring industry of her labouring popu lation, and the freer cast and bolder working of her political machinery, have secured for long years past, and will, in all human probability, continue to secure to England for very many years to come, a priority in this generous struggle, let us do full justice to the gallant efforts of France to tread close upon our foot steps. She, too, is straining every nerve to give all development to her intellectual as well as material forces; and since among the highest blessings which follow from the most perfect of human institutions, peace will ever be among the most certain and the most permanent, we cordially rejoice at the picture which is drawn by the KING'S speech of the gratify ing condition of France, and of its inevitable tenden cies. So clear and just a perception—so deep an appreciation—of the real indefensible interests of two such nations, on the part of their several Govern ments, avail more, to our apprehension of the matter, than the most elaborate statistics of military forces, They far outweigh all the advantages that can ever be predicted of steam guns and desolating projec tiles—monster-ordnance and long-ranging shells. In such generous sentiments as these we yesterday had the pleasure to transfer from the declarations of LOUIS PHILIPPE, we would persuade ourselves that we recognise the dawn of a more permanent and substantial era of pacific associations between France and Britain than any which have hitherto endured between them. We cordially hail them as "auspicia melioris cevi." the Minister of Justice, administered the oath to Count JATIBERT. lately raised to the Chamber of Peers; and M. Duct - Lk - La, Minister of the litteri: r, did the , :ame to such li , puries as had been elected re-elected since the last session. M. NIANTIN (du Nord) next announced in the usual form that the session for 1845 was opened, and the KING and the Princes then rose, and, after saluting the Chamber, retired amidst fresh cries of " Vive le Roi !" cries of " Vive le Prince DE JOINVILLE !" also arose, and were responded to by the more general one of " Vivent les Princes !" The Queen and the rest of the royal party, left their seats at the same moment, and were again greeted with tokens cf respect. The time which elapsed from the KING'S entrance to his departure occupied exactly eight minutes. A salvo of artillery gave notice that the ceremony had concluded, and the royal cortege returned to the Tuileries in the same order as had been adopted on its coming to the Chamber. Loud acclamations arose along the line from the troops and the National Guards as the KING passed by, and the most perfect order reigned on every point. The fog continued to be as dense during the return of the royal party as it had been in the morning. The contents of the Paris papers are unimportant. The Constitutionnel has a long article on the right of search question, and the Presse, a short one on Mr. O'CONNELL, while the Debats makes the election of Mr. POLY to the Presidency of the United States the subject of some rather lengthy observations.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner GouLnunN.) THE ROMPORD BANK—JOHNSON AND MANN'S BANK RUPTCY—IMPORTANT APPLICATION. Mr. WILKINSON, the solicitor to the assignees in the bankruptcy of Johnson and Mann, bankers of Romford, applied to the Court to name an early day for the pay ment of a first and final dividend of 20s. in the p.und on the separate estate of Mann. Mr. Wilkinson said many of the creditors were for small amounts. and it was very desirable that they should receive their Looney with as little delay as possible. A question had arisen as to _whether a certain portion of Mann's estate belonged to the joint estate, but after payment of 20s. in the pound there would be a large surplus remaining. Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN inquired whether any of the creditors would be shut out by naming an early day, some of them might reside abroad. Mr. WILKINSON replied that none of the creditors under the separate estate resided abroad, and he would take care the dividend was sufficiently advertised. The COURT then named the 22d of January for the declaration of a first and final dividend of 20s. in the pound on Mann's estate, and the 2d of February for the first dividend on the general estate, which is expected to be 7s. or Bs. in the pound. The whole of the Madrid journals of the 20th have arrived. The only intelligence which they contain, in addition to that which we published yesterday, is the following : " Commandant PAUMES and another officer have been arrested at Requenne. Among the papers, it is said, some very important documents relative to the late revolutionary movements have been dis covered, and which will lead to a great number of arrests. Colonel RENGIF and his fellow-prisoners, whose lives were recently spared by her Ma.nisnr, have addressed a joint letter of thanks for the lively interest taken in their fate by the public at large." CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) A cabman, named Vaughan, was charged with haring been drunk whilst driving his cab on the previous night. The poor fellow, who has been twelve years a driver, and never once fined, entreated of the magistrate not to indorse his licence. He showed the licence, which was, perhaps what no other cabman could show, without a speck. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The King of the FRENCH opened the Chambers on that day in person. His MAJESTY'S speech on that occasion appeared in The Sun of yesterday. It would appear that the speech was received but coldly by the Members, but the reception of his MAJESTY personally, and that of the whole of the Royal Family, was everything that was cordial. A slight attempt was made to get up an exclusive cheer for the Prince DB JOINVILLE, but it was drowned in the midst of loud cries of " Vives les Princes." The effect upon the Bourse was not very marked, but the funds were upon the whole steadier. In the preparatory session of Wednesday, M. SASSEY was elected temporary President, as the oldest Deputy present. The Members chosen for the grand deputation to receive the KING were—Messrs. COR MIER, HENRY LACAZE, DESSAURET, CERTHEER GLAISBOISIN, DE GOLBERY, JUSTE DE CHASSELOU Pf LAUBAT, GARNON, DAVID, JOLLIVET. POISAT, AL LIBR, EDMOND BLANC, DE LA TOURNBLLB, GRA TIER, BOELAYE, LAUJAINAIS, Bo ULAT, NARCISSE LAFOND, and MATHIEU. Three hundred Deputies had arrived in Paris on Wednesday. But few Deputies or reers entered the Chamber before twelve. Amongst the earliest arrivals were MM. SAUZET, DUPIN, Count ROSSI, &c. About half past twelve much interest was excited by the entrance of the Arab chiefs who lately arrived in Paris. They were eight in number, and took their places under the seats occupied on ordinary occasions by the Ministers of the Crown. They were, consequently, right in front of the royal estrade, and faoed the limo. Four of them wore white burnous, the hoods of which came over the head, but without in the slightest degree concealing the features ; the others had on dark coloured cloaks, with white hoods, and cashmere turhans on their heads. The ladies in their immediate neighbourhood pronounced therm to be fine looking men. After remaining about a quarter of an hour, an officer entered, and signified to them some message, for they instantly rose, and followed him from the Chamber. They returned to their places, however, just before the KING'S arrival. A little before one, M. TRIERS entered, and nearly at the same moment the Foreign Ambassadors and their suites took their places in the tribune reserved for them, close to that appropriated to the QUEEN, and the other ladies of the Royal Family. The whole of the corps diplomatique were in full-dress' uniform, with stars and orders, and their tribune was exceed ingly brilliant in appearance. A few minutes after Marshal Soma, in his Mar shal's uniform; M. GUIZOT, looking remarkably well; M. Duman, and Admiral DE MACKAU, took their places on the right below the royal seat. The other Ministers, M. MARTIN (du Nord), M. DUCHATEL, M. VILLEZMAIN, M. TESTE, and 31., LACAVE LA PLAGNE, seated themselves on the left, all in official costume. The other benches in frornt of the estrade were by this time completely filled, lend presented a close mass of brilliant uniforms. At one o'clock the cannon of tine Invalids gave notice that the royal cortege had left the Tuileries, and in about a quarter of an hour afterwards, the ialute of drums and trumpets announced the KING'S •Lrrival. - Mr. CO MBE generously forgave him, and declined to indorse his licence. Poor " cabby" left the court with " flying colours." Hannah Evans was charged with stealing from her master 601. in gold, on the 21st of November. The prisoner was in the employ of a gentleman named Mills, residing in Aldworth, Staffordshire, and great confidence was reposed in hcr. On the night of the 21st ult., she broke open a box in which the money was, and decamped. She managed her flight so artfully that for a long time no clue could be had to her discovery. At length it was found she had come to London, and yes terday evening she was arrested in the house of a gentle man in Frederick-street, Gray's Inn-road, where she had been engaged as servant. Mr. CoMaE sent her off to Staffordshire in charge of the police. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Mary Johnson:was charged, by Police-contable, No. 57 of the C division, with being drunk and disorderly, at a late hour last night, in Regent-street. Mr. HARDWICK asked if the prisoner was known to the police ? The constable said she was a common pros titute. Prisoner (very indignantly) --I declare lam not such a character. Constable—l am certain you are, you walk Lower Regent-street. Mr. HARDWICK—I shall commit the defendant to the House of Correction, to hard labour, for one week. Prisoner (bursting into a passionate flood of tears) — Oh, my God, this is false ! My father is a respectable tradesman, living in this neighbourhood ; I am residing with him, and can send for him in a few minutes. The neighbours will all come forward, and prove that I am a respectable female. The prisoner was however removed by the gaolor to the lock-up cells, with her assertions unheeded. UNION-HALL.—(THIS DA Y.) John Mahoney, an apprentice to Mr. Dunkin, the ex tensive engineer, of the Blue Anchor-road, Bermondsey, was charged with robbing his employer of a consider able quantity of brass-w(•rk. The discovery of the prisoner's dishonesty arose from the circumstance of his Jacket being found in the engine room, with several brass articles of considerable value, which were broken for the purpose of being made port able, so as to carry off the premises without observation. When he was called into the counting-house to explain the matter, it was then found that he had several other brass articles concealed in his trousers and beneath his waistcoat. The foreman said, that it was incalculable the losses sustained by the complainant, owing to the destruction of the brass-work, all of which belonged to steam engine apparatus. Mr. TRAILL said he should commit the prisoner for trial, but that he should be brought up again on Monday. FLANDERS MAIL. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) FROM THE TURK.' ISII FRONTIERS, DEC. 14.—Bornia is again in a state of fermentation. Foreign emis saries, among whom some Servians are named, are said, in conjunction with the refractory Franciscan monks, to excite the people to disobedience to the Turkish Government, and to refuse to pay taxes, holding out the prospect of a union of Bornia with Servia. In Herzegowina, too, the people refuse to pay, and a pretty extensive insurrection has broken out in Colassin, which has obliged the Vizier of Mortar to adopt rigorous measures and to assemble troops. The troubles in Turkish Albania likewise continue. The Seraskier Reschid Pacha, with his troops, is about Dibra and Tetows, and is said to have deposed the ,Pacha of Dibra, and sent him to Constantinople. A firman of the Sultan has been published at Scutari, which prohibits the exercise of the revenge of blood. The Roman Catholics in this pachalik are to be greatly oppressed. The Monte negrin hordes continue, from time to time, to make predatory incursions into Turkish Herzegowina, and the Dalmatian frontiers are molested by them. His MAXESTY ascended the steps firmly, and, on appearntice on the estrade, he was most warmly greeted with cries of " Vive le Roi !" He was dressed in the unilforin of a Colonel of the National Guards, and was fi 'flowed by the four Princes--the Due DE NEMOURS nd the Due D'AUMALE, in generals' uni forms, took. their seats on the right of the KING, whilst on the other side were the Prince DJ3 JOINVILLE and the Duc Du, MONTPENSIER. The KING acknowledged his receptic on by repeated salution.s, and, we are happy to sA y, looked in excellent health. His MA, JESTY, ha Ving intimated to the Chamber to be seated, then read the Speech. AUSTRIAN FUNDS.—Visxss, Dec_ 16. Five per Cents.
