F rom the evi dence elicited on the Coroner's inquest, relative to this very melancholy occurrence, it is sufficiently apparent that there are yet more " perilous trades " than the samphire picking mentioned by SHAIESPERE. The seven unfortunate persons destroyed on the oc casion referred to afford ghastly evidence that one division at least of our industrial population is em- : ployed upon labozir so peculiarly liable to accident, as to require the utmost imaginable precaution, and a never-ceasing watchfulness. It is generally known, of course, that the town of Dartford is surrounded by a large number of powder manufactories, and those among its inhabitants who are engaged upon those buildings are perpetually ex posed to the hazard of sudden death by detonation. It is not, however, familiar to the majority that] there are others among the people of Dart ford occupied in the manufacture of what is con sidered to be of about eight times the strength of the best blasting gunpowder ! Yet, such is actually the case, and the explosion, on which we now feel it our duty to comment as journalists, took place in one of these fearful establishments. The structure was one of a temporary nature, erected by the proprietor, Mr. CALLOW, in Joyce's-green, and was used exclu sively as a rocket manufactory. Particulars of a very interesting kind were drawn from the various wit nesses examined before the jury, showing not merely that the toil required in the place in question was one terribly hazardous in its character, but that there had been the grossest culpability in the neglecting of all ordinary precautions. It proved, on inquiry, that the parties deceased were engaged at the time of the ex plosion in making cartridges, for the purpose of com pleting certain experiments now making at Holyhead for her MAJEszy's Government. These cartridges, be it observed, contain an explosive powder, com• posed of particular proportions of chloride of potass, of prussiate of potass, and of orpiment. Neither of the ingredients are capable of exploding separately—the chloride of potass merely burning when ignited, like saltpetre—the prussiate of potass smouldering, like flour—and the orpiment ex tinguishing flames, instead of lighting up into a conflagration. While, however, each is thus harm less by itself, when united they become explosive, and explosive, too, with the enormous strength already specified. Even when mixing them well together the chloride, the prussiate, and the orpiment are liable to cause great destruction. Friction, or even an atom of grit, causes the mixture to ignite—and, then, adieu to the life of the unlucky workman. But the powder here spoken of had passed through this process, on the Ist instant, at the Joyce's-green rocket manufactory. The cartridges were being filled up—but where ? and under what circumstances ? Why, in a workshop the floor of which was strewn with gravel, and partially boarded ! the persons employed in it wearing neither slippers made of felt or shoes of gutta percha, but having boots with nails in them ! What rashness ! what cruelty ! what miserable and deplorable incaution ! Why, the consequence was almost inevitable. And to add to the peril of the proceedings, the person engaged to carry the glue pot in, from the fire outside, to the parties filling up the cartridges with the explosive mixture, was known to have carried it in with sparks sticking to it; had been actually sent out with it for that very reason to damp only a few days before the accident ; besides which, usually placing the vessel of boiling resin, according to his own admission, on the same bench where the men were at work, pouring the powder into the cartridges! No wonder the calamity dreaded by cne of the sufferers (poor JosEru LOFT) took place at last. No wonder there was sensation in the court when the particulars here given were ad duced. No wonder the jury, after finding " that the deceased persons came by their death through accident," appended to their verdict the following strong observations :—" We are unanimously of opinion that gross negligence has been displayed upon the part of Mr. EDWARD CAL. LOW, in suffering blasting cartridges to be manufac tured in a building quite unfitted for the purpose, having imperfect floors of wood and gravel; in suf fering the employed to work in nailed boots and shoes ; and in not having any defined rules or regu lations, either written or printed, for the guidance and protection of the persons employed on the premises.'' To which opinion the Coroner himself acceded, ob serving—" I must say, gentlemen, that I entirely concur in the sentiments you have . expressed, because I think that in so dangerous a manufactory as this there cannot possibly be too much care and caution taken." Too much—why there does not appear to have been any at all in the present instance. As to the danger, it is only necessary to attend to the remarks of one of the witnesses on the inquest to see at once that that was of the most serious character. This witness, himself a firework maker of Lambeth, and formerly in the employ of Mr. CALLOW, recounted the circumstance of an accident with tha same kind of mixture which nearly put an end to his own existence. This, moreover, when it was wet—the powder on the 9th instant being dry, and conse quently, according to this person's evidence, more liable to accident. After the occasion referred to in reference to himself, the witness remarked that some of the dry stuff remained in his house—enough per haps to cover half-a-crown lying on the ground. Continuing his evidence, witness said that seeing it lying there he exclaimed, " Bother that stuff, I'll have no more to do with it," giving it at the same time a kick with his foot. The consequence was an explosion which knocked him down on the flat of his back. Yet this was the mixture which was used for the filling up of cartridges at Joyce's-green, in a place covered with gravel, and where the working people were moving about in shoes sprigged over the soles with nails! Aware of these things, we would here most decisively enforce the justice of the condemnatory re marks pronounced upon this occurrence by the jury and coincided in by the Coroner. Yesterday was a great day for the Protectionists. The worthy agriculturists, having duly visited the Cattle Show, and indulged in searching examinations of the unfortunate specimens of bovine and porcine pioguosity there congregated, were quite prepared to devote a day to political demonstrations and to trot ting out the lions of the party for the delectation of the assembled multitude. There was accord ingly a meeting of the National Association in the morning, at which one Duke. (the President of the Society), three Earls, one Baron, and some half-dozen Members of Parliament were in attendance, and in the evening a banquet, cheap—decidedly cheap—but substantial and comfort ing to the inward man, after the melancholy details of individual and national ruin, to which the audience had been listening in the earlier portion of the day. It is unnecessary to say that there was no lack of edibles or potables, and that everything was provided in the most satisfactory manner, when Messrs. BATHE and BREACH were the purveyors. The ample ac commodation of the London Tavern was put into requisition. Six hundred tenant-farmers were in attendance, with appetites whetted to the very utmost. The struggle for seats, particularly in the vicinity of the pieces de resistance, was of the most arduous character. The contest was maintained with a zeal and energy which clearly indicated the unflinching determination of the com batants to lose nothing which they had a possible chance of obtaining, through any want of exertion on their own part. Those who could struggle so lustily for a good seat during a single evening must neces sarily be formidable opponents where the welfare and prosperity, or th e " suppose d" we lf are - an d prosper it y , of them se l ves and families were involv e d in the result. But it was not meeting or symposium which day rendered th e remarkable, or worthy of being dis tinguished by a white mark o n a ll f u t ure occas i ons . Persons away from their h ome their ordinary o ccupations, wills, a and removed from be induced to a ttend political meetings, i n order t to get rid of a vac ant or unoccupied hour ; for, a s Dr, WATTS tells us, " Satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to d o .” Nor should w e be surprised at the numbers at etevnedrinegxbtihbeiteddinnaer,lafuodrabthlee anxiety worthy , ,b,utcool ? a l have and drink for the good of their country," on any feasible opportunity ; and few of the entertainers of the evening would refuse to drain a goblet, if the liquor,were good, even to a less exciting toast than the health and happiness of the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Scarborough, and, as we have been informed on competent authority, " the future re presentative for the great county of Cambridge." There was something still more interest ing and remarkable. The " man," so long coming," and so anxiously looked for, at length made his appearance. GEORGE FREDERICK YOUNG stood boldly forward as the future leader of the party under whose auspices the disjecta membral might be resuscitated, and whose en thusiastic ardour might make amends for the cool calculations of a DERBY or the lukewarmness of a DISRAELI. The Honourable Gentleman, with his thick and thin ad hesion to " the good old cause" of monopoly, was not influenced by any ; notions as to practicability or expediency. He could not recognise the supposed prosperity of the labouring classes, and was quite prepared to prove that " the working man;' who toils for his daily bread, would be much better off if paying 2d. or 2id. per pound for his bread, than if obtaining it at the disgracefully low prioe of ld, The punctual payment of rents, which was errone ously regarded as evidence of the solvent condition of the farmers, was shown to bear a totally different construction, for . according to Mr. G. F. YOUNG, "they were paid by, and out of capital, and under no reduc tion of rent that had been made, could the soil be profitably cultivated." This cheering and encourag ing opinion was of course loudly and rapturously applauded. If every tenant-farmer in the room was permitted to occupy his tenement rent free, to turn his tenancy at will, or; from year to year, into a freehold or fee simple, he could not hope to live by his labour:; he must still draw on the resources ac cumulated under more auspicious circumstances. But when were the palmy days of agriculture, during which these ample hoards could . be set aside ? We have seldom heard the agriculturists expressing their satisfaction. Grumblings and complaints, both loud and deep, have been of daily occurrence ; they have been unceasingly murmuring, and Jeremiads of the most plaintive description have fallen from their lips. When, then, did they accumulate capital sufficient to pay rents, to maintain their families, to join in all the social indulgences, and to enjoy the creature comforts befitting their position ? If Mr. G. F. YOUR a's statements be well founded, and that the farmers have, or, rather, had capital sufficient to pay their rents for five successive years—since the abolition of the corn-laws—then agriculture must, indeed, have been a most lucrative occupation, far more so than any other then known. But, if we are not greatly mistaken, the complaints were nearly as numerous to 1846 as at present, and yet it now appears that they must have been laying aside enormous fortunes at that time. They were then crying out, without foundation, and according to the well-known tale of " The shepherd's boy and the wolf," cannot hope to obtain credence, even should their stories be better grounded than formerly. We cannot conclude without alluding to the speech of Lord STANIIOPE, which would have elicited as rapturous applause at a meeting of Radical Reformers as that which it received from the out-and-out Protectionists. The Noble Earl spoke more strongly in favour of a large exten sion of the franchise, almost amounting to universal suffrage and of a complete alteration in the constitu tion of the House of Lords, than he did of the reim position of a bread tax. If any person should doubt our assertion, let him consider the tendency and effect of the following extract from his Lordship's speech, which was most enthusiastically greeted by the audience :—" It had been said by Lord DERBY and Lord MALMESBURY that if the result of the next election should prove unfavourable to Protection they must bow to the decision of Parliament. What ! bow to the decision of such an assembly, when the labouring classes, who were the most interested of all, were not represented? Bow to the House of Commons, a great majority of whom had been elected by the foulest bribery and corruption—which did not de serve or enjoy the confidence or respect of the people, and in which the towns and ten-pounders had the overwhelming majority. What should they say of the House of Lords ? Bow to the decision of that degraded assembly ! He no longer considered it deserved their re spect—a House in which the statement with reference to it that 12 honest men could not be found within is walls, had not been treated as a gross and calum nious attack, but laughed at by many as an excellent joke. He called upon them not to bow to the decision of either House of Parliament. If they did, the boasted English Constitution, said to be the envy and admiration of surrounding nations, would be nothing less than a mockery and a delusion." We do not know of any Chartist, Socialist, or Red Republican who could make use of stronger or more unequivocal language in reference to the hereditary and represen tative branches of the Legislature than that which found far more favour in the sight of the English than the repudiation of the Earl of MALMES. BURY, another of the would-be leaders. The convulsive efforts, however, terminated, and if any additional evidence were rfquired of the hope lessness of the attempt to re-impose a tax on the people's food for the benefit of a privileged class, they eight be obtained from the proceedings and speeches at the London Tavern, in the morning as well as in the evening of Friday, the 12th of De cember, 1851. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Presse, the Union, the Opinion Publiqua, and the Corsaire appeared yesterday, for the first time since the2docfomDmeceenmts on passing events The e o v ft s h . ese :publish any editorial The Presse contains the following notice : " A judgment of M. Casenate, presiding in the First Chamber, has admitted the declaration of Emile de Girardin, that, for the future, he means to remain a complete stranger to the direction and editorship of the Presse. Yesterday the proprietors of the journal united in general assembly, nominated M. J. Perodeaud prin cipal editor, in the room of M. Emile de Gira.rdin. The editorship of the F i reese s to be immediately re-or ganized." M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN intends, it is said, to emi grate to the United States. The Moniteur contains an unusually large number of decrees from the PRESIDENT of the Republic. One raises Ganeral of Division lIARISPE, in consideration of his eminent military services, to the dignity of Marshal of France; a second nominates General of Division VAILLANT to the same high dignity, and assigns as the special reason for so doing, that this officer, though he had from motives of de licacy declined assuming the prerogatives of the post of commander-in-chief of the expedition to Rome which had been conferred on him, yet had notoriously directed all the operations of the siege of that city, and ensured the success of the ex pedition. The decree also speaks generally of the eminent services of General VAILLANT during the whole of his military career. A third decree appoints General RANDOM to the post of Governor. General of Algeria, now held ad interim by General PELISSIER, in command of the Oran division. A fourth decree declares that the Consultative Commission, appointed on Dec. 3, is charged with the examination and general summing-up of the votes to be given by the French people in the ballots of the 20th and 21st of the present month. In consequence, all the minutes drawn up by the departmental commissions, instituted in virtue of Art. 6 of the decree of Dec. 2, are to be transmitted to it by the Minister of the Interior, and the result will be made known by the executive power. The same decree further declares that the Con sultative Commission is to give its advice on such drafts of Bills as shall be submitted to it by the PRE SIDENT of the Republic ; it is also to perform the du ties of the Council of State, except in matters in dis pute relative to administrative affairs, on which another decree is to be hereafter issued ; the Com mission is to be presided over by the PRESIDENT of the Republic, in his absence by M. BAROCUE, the Vice-President ; a decree of the Executive Power is to divide the Consultative Commission into sections for the affairs to be submitted to it. A fifth decree or ders the establishment of a circular railway round Paris within the fortifications, connecting together the Western, Rouen, Northern, Strasburg, Lyons and Orleans lines, and concedes the said line to the Rouen, Orleans, Strasburg, and Northern Companies on cer tain conditions specified, one of which is that each of these companies is to pay the sum of one million for its participation in the rights conferred by such con cession. The promotion of General HARISPE is a deserved r n i i n o y r e ; that compliment o f Ge o e r t a o l v the AIL I L ' A a tzlhrre is o e f v d t e h n e t yF intended as an insult to General OUDINOT, than as a compli ment to General VAILLART. The Commander-in-Chief of the army of Paris has addressed the following report, dated the 9th, to the Minister of War, of his proceedings during the insurrection " Monsieur le Ministre,—l haye already had the honour to address to you a summary report ou the events of the 3d and 4th instants, and to render to you an account of the results obtained from the arrangements made in an ticipation of those events. Now that the partial reports of the generals commanding divisions under my orders have reached me, I hasten to send you the details which complete my former reports. On the morning of the 3d numerous and threatening assemblages took place and the various corp s o f t h e army take up their position o f combat. o o on Paris differentm marched to to SATURDAY EVENING, General Marulaz, who, with his brigade, occupied the Place de la Batile, on being informed that a barricade had been raised at the corners of the Rue du Faubourg St. Antoine, and the Rues de Cotte and St. Marguerite, sent to that spot three companies of the 19th light infantry, under the orders of Commandant Pujol, and supported the movement by advancing himself at double quick time at the head of a battalion of the 44th into the Rue de Charonne, so as to advance on the barricade by the Rue de Cotte. The assemblage, at the head of which were three Montagnard representatives, seeing the troops advancing, fired, and mortally wounded a soldier of the 44th named Sirlan. The first platoon returned the fire, and the representative Baudin was killed on the barricade. In the afternoon General Her 'milieu, who had taken up a position on the place do l'Hotel de Ville, being informed that barricades were being raised in the Rues du Temple, Rambuteau, Beau bourg, fee., marched immediately to the spot at the head of a column formed of the 9th battalion of Foot Chasseurs and a piece of artillery, and overthrew all the obstacles which he met with in his passage, whilst a battalion of the 6th Light Infantry destroyed in the Rue du Temple the barricades which had been commenced. In the evening fresh barricades having been raised in the Rue Beanbourg, Colonel Chapuis, of the 3d Regiment of the Line, taking with him a battalion of his regiment and a company of engineers, again went through that quarter, where he was received with a very warm fire, which did not, however, stop the ad*unce of his column. All the obstacles were carried, and those who defended them were shot. Assemblages which were formed in other quarters were dispersed by the energy and the attitude of the troops. Seeing that the day was passing in insignificant skirmishes, and without any de cisive result, and suspecting that th e i n t en ti ons o f t h e chiefs of the rioters was to fatigue the troops by carrying the agitation in succession into dif ferent quarters, I resolved to leave the insurrection for some_time to itself, in order t o g i ve it th e fa cility of choosing its ground, of establishing itself, and, in short, of forming a compact mass against which I could act. For this purpose I withdrew all the small posts, ordered the troops back to their bar racks, and waited. In the morning of the 4th th e re p orts of the Prefect of Police and my own reconnaissances made me aware that several assemblages were formed in the Quartiers St. Antoine, St. Denis, and St. Martin, and that they were beginning to raise barricades there. The insurrection appeared to have its focus in the space comprised between the Boulevards and the Rues du Temple, Rambuteau, and Montmarte. At noon I learned that the barricades were becoming formidable, and that the insurgents were entrenching themselves; but I had decided on not attacking before two o'clock, and, firm in my resolution, I did not hasten the movement, notwith standing all the intreaties that were made to me to the contrary. I knew the ardour of my troops, and their impatience for the combat, and I was sure of overpower ing the insurrection in two hours, if it would accept the conflict. Success justified my belief. The attack ordered for two o'clock was to commence with a convergent movement of the divisions of Generals Carrelet and Le vasseur. In consequence the brigade Bourdon took up a position between the Porte St. Denis and the Porte St. Martin. The brigades of Cotte and Canrobert occupied the Boulevard des Italiens, whilst General Dulac occupied the Pointe Saint Eustache, and the brigade of General Reibell took up its position in the Rue de la Paix, General Levasseur formed his columns to support the movement of the division of General Carrelet. At two o'clock in the afternoon all the troops moved forward. The Bourgon brigade cleared the Boulevard to the Rue du Temple, and went down that street as far as the Rue Rambuteau, carrying all the barricades on its passage. The brigade of General Cotte was engaged in the Rue St. Denis, whilst a battalion of the 15th Light Infantry proceeded to the Rue du Petit-Carreaa, which was already barricaded. General Canrobert, taking a posi tion at the Porte St. Martin, went through the Rue du Faubourg of that name and the adjacent streets, ob structed by strong barricades, which the sth battalion of Foot Chasseurs, under the orders of Commandant Le vasson Sorval, carried with rare intrepidity. General Dula° sent to attack the barricade of a e Rue Rumba eau and the adjacent streets columns formed of three batta lions of the 51st of the line, commanded by Colonel do Lourmel, and two other battallions, one of the 19th of the line, the other of the 43d, supported by a battery of artillery. At the same time the brigade of General Herbillon, formed of two columns, ono of which was directed by General Levasseur in person, penetrated into the focus of the insurrection by the Rues du Tem ple, Rambuteau, and St. Martin. General Marulaz operated in the same sense by the Rue St. Denis, and threw into the transversal streets a light column under the orders of Colonel de la Motterouge. of the 10th Light Infantry. General Courtigis, on his side, arriving from Vincennes, at the head of his brigade, swept the Fau bourg St. Antoine, in which several barricades had been constructed. These different operations were per formed under the fire of the insurgents, with a skill and zeal which could not for one instant leave a doubt of success. The barricades, attacked in the first instance by artillery, were carried at the point of the bayonet. All that part of the town between the Faubourga St. Antoine and St. Martin, the Points St. Eustache and the Hotel do Ville, was covered in every sense by our infantry columns; the barricades were carried and destroyed, and the insurgents dispersed or killed. The crowds, who endeavoured to form themselves again on the Boulevards, were charged by the ca valry of General Reibell, who sustained a sharp fire at the top of the Rue Montmartre. Attacked on all sides at the same time, disconcerted by the irresistible ardour of our troops, and by that ensemble of arrange men ts, enveloping as in a net-work of iron the whole quarter where they had waited for us, the insurgents no longer dared to undertake anything serious. At 5 o'clock in the evening the troops of the division of General Carrelet came, and again took up a position on the Boulevards. Thus the attack, which had com menced at two o'clock in the afternoon was t erm i na t e d at five. The insurrection was vanquished on the ground which it had chosen. Some partial combats, however, took place in other parts, which I think it my duty to point out to you. On the 4th, about seven o'clock in the evening, some bands of insur gents , w h o h a d b een dis persed by the different columns, united at the upper end of the Rues St. Honors, des Poulies, and other small streets adjacent, and commenced to raise barricades. Other assemblages took place at the same time in the Rues Montmartre and Montorgueil, the lamps in which had been extinguished, and where the insurgents, under favour of the darkness, had been able to erect fresh barricades. About eight o'clock, Colonel de Lour mel, of the 51st of the line, who had remained in position near the Pointe Ste. Eustache, alth oug h we ll under standing all the difficulties of a n i g ht attac k, d ec id e d on making one first four ba rr i ca d es were i mme di ate l y i m mediately with t h e 2 d b atta li on o f hi s regiment. The carried at the point of the bayonet, with the greatest dlaierocifneo'nudreA,dbfityhfLahn barricade th still remained, higher and better the grenadiers and voltigeurs of that batta lion others. In spite of the darkness, Colonel de Lourtnel hesitated no t t o ma k e arrangemen t s for its attack. Fifteen grenadiers, under the orders of Sergeant Pitr o ie, first advan ce d, c l ose l y f o ll owe d b y th e o th e r grenadiers and voltigeurs of the battalion, led on by Commandant J e a n nin. Nothing could resist the ardour of these brave soldiers. The barricade w as carried in spite of a desperate resistance. It was defended by about 100 insurgents. Forty of them were killed on the spot, and the others were made prisoners. About a hundred muskets and other weapons, and abundant ammunition, fell into the hands of our soldiers. Colonel Co uran t, o f t h e 19t h o f t h e line, Rho with his regiment occupied the Palais National, learning that a considerable number of insurgents, who had been driven from the Celli Saint M ar ti n , h a d ra llied on the Place des V ictoires, and thre a t ene d the Ba n k of F rance and the neighbouring quarters, proceeded thither at double quick time with his regiment, carried the bar ricades in the Rues Pagevin and des Foie 6, Montmartre, and then returned and established himself at the Bank, whence he could maintain the tranquillity of the quar ters of the Bank and the Bourse. 1 should never finish were I to begin to mention particular names, but I can• not, h ow ever, refrain from doing ju s ti ce to the energetic skill with which Captain de la Roche d'Oisy, Commandant of the 4th company of the Ist battalion of the Gendarmerie Mobile, protected through the whole period of the in surrection the National printing-office, which was cen stantly surrounded by threatening groups. Several bar ricades were constructed in the neighbouring streets, for the purpose of cutting off communication with Hilt; es tablishment. Deutenant Fabre, of that company, at the head of 25 men, carried the stronger of these barricades, formed with overturned diligences, barrels, and pieces of wood, and, the others being successively destroyed, the circulation was kept open by means of frequent patrols. At La Chapelle St. Denis, some companies of the 28th Regiment of the line carried a number of barricades, and maintained tranquillity in those populous quarters, which the secret societies had deeply agitated. Whilst these events were taking place on the right bank of the Seine, General Renault, commanding the 21 di vision, occupied the left Bank, and by the able arrangements which he made, and the firm de meanour of the tr oo p s , was a bl e t o guarantee from all agitation the working population of the 11th and 124 ii arrondissements, in which, at other periods, insurrec tion could boast of such numerous proselytes. The re serve division of cavalry, under the orders of General , Korte, summoned in from Versailles, took up position, at first in the Champs Elysess, and afterwards in the Boulevards, and contributed powerfully by numerous patrols to the arrest of a great number of insurgents, and to the complete re-establishment of tranquility. As the reports se n t i n to me t h e n i g ht of the 4th, on th e state of Paris, gave me almost a certitude that the in surrection would not venture to again raise its head, I withdrew at midnight a part of the troops from their positions to give them that repose they so well merited. The next day, December 5, I determined to make , a display of all the army of Paris to the popu lation, intending, by that demonstration, to re assure the good, and intimidate the evil-disposed. I gave orders that the brigades of infantry, with their artillery and their companies of engineers, should proceed through the city in movable columns, to march on the insurgents wherever they should show themselves, and to destroy all the obstacles which might impede the circulation. To that effect General Carrelet, at the head of a column of his division, proceeded about sine in the morning to the Barrier° Roohecourat, where a formidable baricade ex isted. But the insurgents, terrified by t ho results of the preceding day, did not venture todefend their entrenchments, and ab an d one d them at the approach of the troops. Anothe r barricade, raised in the Faubourg Poissonntire, was likewise deserted by its defenders before the arrival of the co lumn under the orders of Gen, Canrobert, charged to carry it. From that moment tranquillity . was no more troubled in Paris, and the circulation was fully re-established on every point. The army returned day, the 6th, Paris no troops, was restored to its movement ? and ltoonigtser quarter s;beholdi and d the h s e t re e next streets that unusual display of activity, life of every day. I know not how, Monsieur le Muaistre, to render to the troops who fought on those two days all the justice which is due to them for the firmness, spirit, and discipline which they constantly displayed. Officers and soldiers, they all comprehend what the country and society expected from them at that solemn moment, and all nobly did their duty. I have in particular to praise the energetic co-operation of the general officers under my orders. All followed my instructions with an intel ligence and devotedness which penetrate me with the liveliest gratitude; everywhere they showed to the troops the way which they so nobly followed. Unfortu nately, operations, so complicated, could not be executed without sensible loss. We had in these two days 25 men killed, of whom 1 was an officer; and 184 wounded, of whom 17 were officers; of this number was Colonel Quilico, of the 72d Regiment of the line, who had his arm transpierced by a ball, at the same time as his Lieutenant-Colonel M. Loubean fell at his side, mor tally wounded. The whole army joined in the regret which the loss of this superior officer, of the greatest dis tinction, caused in the 72d. The numerical smallness of our loss, compared to that of the insurgents, is owing to the energy with which all the obstacles were attacked by our men, and the determination with which the insur rection was put down. In two hours of combat the army obtained the result which it desired—it worthily justified the confidence of the President of the Republic, and it must feel satisfied that it has nobly aided in saving so ciety in France and perhaps in Europe. I shall before long have the honour of sending in to you a statement respecting the men of all grades who appear to mo to have the greatest claims to recompense, and to whom I shall pray you to direct the kind interest of the Presi dent of the Republic. Receive, Monsieur le Ministre, the assurance of my respect and devotedness. " MAGNAN Commander-in- Chief." The accounts from the departments of the south still speak of renewed disturbances. The Constitutionnel publishes the following fresh episode in the disturbances of the Var : " Late in the evening of the 4th a numerous crowd assembled before the Mairie of the commune of Trouvai, and demanded that the arms of the National Guard should be given up to them. M. Blanc, one of the De puty Mayors, presented himself to the rioters, and sought by exhortations to make tbem understand the consequences of what they were doing. His efforts were in vain ; the door of the Mairie was forced in. The ring leaders, to the number of eight, immediately organized themselves into a provisional government, at the head of which was a journeyman shoemaker, ex-president of an anarchical club, and the principal author of these fresh disturbances. The members of the government ordered a good dinner to be served them, after which they went into the market-place, attended by their followers in arms, they proclaimed the names of the new Adminis tration, and sang the Marseillaise on their knees. The members of the government then returned to the Mairie, and began to send out their orders, the first of which consisted of missions given to certain citizens to kill without delay all the gendarmes, lawyers, and priests in the country. Let us hasten to add, that although at Trom as, as in every other place, where the standard of anarchy has been raised, many crimes have been com mitted, the energetic action of the authorities has checked the projects of the demagogues." The following telegraphic dispatch, dated Lyons, 10th, was received yesterday by the Government : " The insurrection of the Basses-Alpes has gained the three arrondissements of Digne, Sisteron, and Forcalquier. The Prefect of the Basses-Alpes is shut up in the fort of the Seyne. The communica tions are interrupted between Avignon and Marseilles. Gap (Hautes-Alpes) has been agitated, but the arrest of the principal agitators has restored tranquillity. Dispatches from Rouen, Rheims, Lille, Amiens, St. Etienne, and Colmar state that everything is tranquil, and trade proceeding as usual. A dispatch from Clamecy, dated the 11th, says : "At every instant insurgents are being arrested. The communes which have been considered the worst are those which arrest the most dan gerous demagogues. " The following is from Valence, dated the 9th :—" The insurgents of Crest were 2,000 in number ; they wer e repulsed after a long combat, and had 310 killed and wounded. The army behaves admirably." Dispatches from the Maine-et-Loire, Marne, Jura, Gironde, Allier, Gers, and Aveyron give highly satisfactory accounts. A dispatch from Strasburg states that the feeling for Louis NAPOLEON is strong, and that at the factory of fluttenheim the workmen, on learning the last news from Paris, shouted " Vive NAPOLEON." A telegraphic dispatch of the 9th, addressed from Clamecy, by M. CARLIER, gives some fresh details of the insurrection of the Nievre. The insurrection of Clamecy did not wait the arrival of General PELLIO who was advancing by forced marches. After com mitting the most atrocious acts they fled in all directions. 261 of them have been arrested. A strong reaction has taken place in the neighbouring communes against the brigands, and the people lend their aid in pursuing them. Twelve insurgents were shot by the advanced guard of the troops. The Paine says :—" We learn that a body of troops left Marseilles, on the Bth, some for the Var, and others for the Basses Alpes. A general of bri gade soon after left Paris in the night to take com mand of the military forces which are to operate on that point." Several of the provincial journals publish the fol lowing telegraphic dispatch from the Minister of the Interior to the Prefects :—" Give the most severe orders to arrest the ,Montagnard and Socialist chiefs who may endeavour to quit France after their defeat in Paris. The number of votes given up to yesterday by the navy on the plebiscite of December 2, is 8,567, of which 6,242 are in favour of the PRESIDENT, 2,145 against him, and 171 do not count. The whole of the two squadrons of the Bth Lancers, quartered at Givet, officers and men, to the number of 273, voted on the 6th inst. in favour of the PRESIDENT of the Republic. The staff and the various detachments voted in a similar manner, We find the following in the Journal de Lille : " As soon as the first telegraphic dispatch reached this place, on the 2d, Lieutenant-Colonel d'Aziaiar, commanding par interim the Ist Regiment of Cuiras siers, assembled the officers in the barrack-yard. After making known to them the events, which had taken place, he added: ' Gentlemen, we have nothing to do with politics; our duty is traced out to us; the Chief of the Executive disposes of the Army; we shall receive his orders through his Generals and we shall obey. Let us hold ourselves ready to march.' Three days after, Colonel de Chambiire having caused the regiment to vote, it unanimously declared itself in favour of main taining Louis Napoleon Bonaparte in power. We say unanimously, although five out of seven hundred and twenty present, inscribed their names on what was called the bad register. This imperceptible fraction gives in some measure a greater value to the vote of the Ist Cui rassiers, as it proves that each man has been entirely free in the expression of his sentiments." The same journal says : " From information derived from various sources we learn that commercial affairs aro resuming great acti vity. Yesterday numerous purchasers arrived here from Paris, and bought largely, particularly of linen goods. For some time past that branch of manufacture has been suffering much. An improvement has also taken place in the spinning-trade. One important warehouse, at Lille, has informed us that for some time past it has not done so much business as it did last week. These facts carry with them their own comment." Among the numerous declarations of adherence to LOUIS NAPOLEON received yesterday by the Govern ment are those of the municipalities of Marseilles and Urles, and the Court Appeal of Aix. The Currier de la Gironde of the 10th states that the different constituted bodies and the officers of the national guards had paid a visit on the previous day to General DE BOUBJOLLY, on his taking the command of the military division.

The Bank has been greatly increasing its discounts to indivi duals, for the portfolio has increased 10 millions for the city, and five millions for the departments. The credit to Treasury has increased 18 millions, which it would look as if the Bank had been called on for the credit due to the Treasury. Private credit ac counts have diminished nearly 2 millions in the city, and nearly 5 millions in the branches. It appears that M. Timms was informed by the Government that it would be advisable that he should quit France without delay. He refused to leave Paris except expelled by force, whereupon he was taken in custody to the Strasbourg Railway station. On his arrival there he declared that force having been used to eject him from his domicile, he was now prepared to proceed without an escort, and accordingly he en tered one of the carriages, attended only by his ser vant, and proceeded to the frontier. He arrived at Brussels on the 12th, by the Cologne night train from Frankfort, where he awaits the arrival of his family from Paris. Madlle. ODIER, the betrothed of General Cavern- NAC, has left Paris, accompanied by her father, for Ham, where, it is said, her nuptials with the General will be celebrated. MM. JULES DE LASTERIE and TRURIST DE LA ROSIERE have been set at liberty. M. nE PERSIGNY set off from Lisle as soon as the rumour of the Prince DE JOINYILLE in that city reached Paris. The Genoa Gazette, an official journal, contains the following :—" The Duke D'AUMALE, on his way from Naples, and travelling under the name of Duke EUGENE DE TELLADIER, passed last night (the Bth) through Genoa, on his way to Turin." This may be come a fact of some importance, considering that the departments of France on the Piedmontese frontiers axe in a state of insurrection. ... ... .., 457,383,241 ... 110,056,427 DECEMBER 13, 1851. LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, DEC. 12. In addition to General OUDINOT, General RUL IIIERES has been placed on the retired list. The latter, on the occasion, wrote the following letter to General LEROY DE ST. ARNAUD, the Minister of War..— " Monsieur le Ministre,—ln 1835 the inspector-gene ral of infantry, Rulh4:es, saved the honour of Captain Leroy (called St. Arnaud). It was only just that in 1851 Lieutenant-General Leroy (called St. Arnaud), not being able to attack the honour of General Rail:likes, should break his sword.—Accept, &c. (Signed) " BULHIERES." The Bourse was extremely animated, and public securities of every description rose considerably. The Five per Cents, opened at 96f. 60c, rose to 97f. 50c., and closed at 97f. 35c. for the end of the month.; the Three per Cents. closed at 59f. 80c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 932 f. 50c.; Rouen, 597 f. 50c.; Havre, 223 f. 75c.; Great Northern, 483 f. 75c.; Avignon, 210 f.; Vierzon, 460 f.; Basle, 160 f.; Bordeaux, 3811. 25e. ; Paris and Strasburg, 381 f. 25c.; Tours and Nantes, 262 f. 50c ; Amiens to Boulogne, 2601, BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE Boulogne and Amiens, 10 1 4— Central of France (Orleans and Vierzon), 17/4—East Indian, 207—Luxembourg, 3% —Northern of France, 117—Orleans and Bordeaux, 4 Paris and Rouen, 23%—Paris and Strasbourg, 13—Rouen and Havre, 8 1 / 2 —West Flanders, 2LA. TIIE SUN, LONDON, SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 7th have arrived. In the Senate the Minister of Foreign Affairs an • nounced that, notwithstanding the difficulties created by the events in France, the Goverement did not doubt that it would be able to preserve order, peace, the rights of the QUEEN, the Constitution of the State, and the absolute tranquillity of the country. The budget of war was discussed in the Chamber of De puties on the preceding day, M. I'AcuEco withdrew a proposition he had made relative to the suspension of the journal the Europa. It was rumoured that the Cortes were to be prorogued. The Bolsa was closed. GERMANY. The National Gazette of Berlin states from Vienna that the Emperor of AUSTRIA has refused to receive the Earl of WESTMORELAND, to present his letters of credence, until an answer shall have been returned to a note of the Austrian Cabinet, complaining of the offensive terms in which Lord PALMERSTON spoke of Austria, in reply to a deputation who waited on him with an address respecting Kossurn. The Weiner Zeitung of the 9th has the following from Pesth, dated Dec. 1 :—" The news is circulated here that last night, between twelve and one o'clock, Sirmay House, the residence of the mother and sisters of KOSSUTH, was searched, and that the two sisters of the agitator, Mesdames RUTTHAY and MESZLINGI, as well as the tutor of Madame MESZLINGI'S children, were arrested and carried off to prison. The latter, it was stated, was put in irons. The mother of KOSSUTH was permitted to remain in her own house, under the surveillance of the police." The Prussian Government, in reply to the invita tion of the Austrian Cabinet to join the Customs Congress at Vienna, has stated that Prussia is unable to take a part in this conference, and cannot enter into any negotiations whatever until the affairs of its own Zollverein are perfectly regulated. ITALY. The Minister of Finance at Rome has issued a no tification, dated the 22d ultimo, announcing that the treasury-bonds now in circulation, representing the value of one, two, five, ten, or twenty scudi respec tively (the scudo is about M. 50e.), shall continue to be received at All public offices until the 31st of De cember next. From that period until the 10th of January they may be exchanged at the general treasury-office at Rome, after which they are to be valueless. We regret to hear that the Chairman of Commit tees of the House of Commons, Mr. Bernal, is suffering from indisposition. ROYAL Oft.TROPIEDIC HOSPITAL, BLOOMBURY SQUARE.—Yesterday afternoon the friends of this important charity met at the board-room of the institution, in Blooms bury-square. It appears that the committee are making strenuous exertions to obtain the necessary funds for enlarg ing the accommodation of the building. The early comple tion of this object is of much importance to the many afflicted and helpless creatures who are waiting for admis sion, and it is to be hoped that the benevolent will volunteer their assistance in so good a cause. The facility of admis sion to the benefits of the hospital, and the fact of patients being received from all parts of the kingdom, occasions a very numerous attendance of patients, and upwards of 700 crippled individuals are now under treatment. The hospital was established twelve years since for the cure of club-foot, lateral curvature of the spine, and all other contractions and deformities. The Council-General of Genoa has just contri buted 15,000 f. towards the erection of the monument to Co lumbus, which is to be erected in that city. PLAY GROUNDS .FOR THE PEOPLE.—A petition to the Commissioners of Works from the clergy and medical men of St. James's parish, is now in course of signature, praying the Commissioners to set apart a space in Hyde-park and elsewhere for the exercise of quoits and other athletic exercises. SALISBURY MONTHLY NEW CHEESE MARKET, Dxc. 11.—The first market was held this day. The spacious temporary building was not large enough to contain the immense quantity pitched, which exceeded 300 tons. The sale was first-rate Chedder fetched 60s. to 70s. ; Sage, 503. to 555. ; North Wilts, 48s. to 545. ; Skims, 18s. to 255. ; Somersets, Us. to 60s. ; second ditto, 465. to 525. per cwt. We noticed dealers from London, Fareham, Portsea, Land port, Ilorndean, Portsmouth, Bishops Waltham, Lymington, Poole, Cowes, and Newport (1. W.), Chicheste?, Petersheld, Midhurst, Harting, Guildford, Godalming, Chertsey, Win chester, Arundell, Southampton, Alton, Ringwcod, Romsey, Dorking, &c. A dinner in celebration of this event took place at the Council Chamber. The bells rung merrily throughout the day, and the city was full of animation. The growth of towns is chiefly westward, a circum stance which I cannot say I have ever seen noticed, but have observed to be generally the case, with:a southerly tendency. It is natural to seek the sunshine, and hence the sites for their villas and cottages are by business men sought, by choice, westward—still westward ; while, in order, it pos sible, to prevent some neighbour squatting down between them and the sun, they keep edging also, of necessity, to wards the south ; not even deterred by boisterous sou'- westers ; and thus the growth of towns is influenced. In this south-west position, those same prevailing breezes, which might be considered as a drawback to its selection, exempt it from the currents of smoke that often form a canopy over the opposite quarter.— Correspondent of the Builder. • FUNERAL OF THE EARL OF SUFFOLK.—The mortal remains of the late venerable Earl of Suffolk were interred in the family mausoleum at Charlton, near Alalmesbury, yester day. The present Earl, the youthful Viscount Andover, the Hon. James Kenneth Howard, M.P., and other relatives, at• tended the obsequies. We hear that Earl Cowper is about to break up his establishment in Great Stanhope-street, the Noble Earl and Countess intending in future to reside, during their so journ in town, with her Ladyship's noble father, Earl de Grey, in St. James's-square. A SWORD Fisa.—A sword fish was caught a few days ago at the mouth of the Liban, on the Baltic, in Cour land, in Russia. It is the, first fish of the kind caught in the Baltic. It is seven feet long, and the sword is more than five. It has been purchased by Count de Goltz, who intends to stuff it, and send it to an exhibition of manufactures which is about to take place at Moscow. A New York paper advertises " Bookbinders' skins" for sale. This is positively shocking. "Do you keep matches? " asked a wag of a re tailer, "Oh yes, all kinds," was the reply. Then I'll take a trotting-match." CROWDED STATE Or MARYLEBONE WORKHOUSE. —Yesterday, at the weekly meeting of the Board of Guar dians of the above workhouse, an intimation was received from the master of the house stating that the whole of the wards were full, and that he should be compelled to refuse admittance to further applicants. The total number in the workhouse is 1,764, of which 264 are in the sick wards. Mr. Messer, the assistant overseer, suggested the propriety of a committee being appointed to go over the house, and select such inmates as might be sent out with a weekly allowance. The suggestion was adopted. LARGE IMPORTATIONS OF FOREIGN FRUITS.—Tho arrivals of the last few days from foreign parts have com prised a very large number of ships from the south of Europe and other places, laden with every description of dried and other fruits , so much in request at this season of the year. So numerous have been the simultaneous arrivals of this nature that extraordinary exertions have been made by the revenue and other authorities to effect the discharge of the cargoes with all practicable dispatch to meet the require ments of the trade at the present time, and it has been found requisite to work beyond the ordinary hours of business, in order to afford the despatch required. THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.—Yester day, despite the dense fog which every . way prevailed throughout the metropolis, the number of visitors at Baker street was fully as great as on any of the preceding days of the exhibition, though it might have been presumed that the show had by thatl time lost much of its novelty. The cir- - cumstance of its being the last day probably tended to swell the number of persons who were found gazing at the spec tacle of fat cattle, field, produce, and agricultural implements on the last opportunity they would have of witnessing it on this occasion. We were given to understand that the whole of the anin'tals exhibited, with very few exceptions indeed, had been sold; and to-day they will be removed from the premises and conveyed to their several purchasers, by whom they will in due time be converted into delicious fare for the approaching season of "merry Christmas." THE FOG.—The City and suburbs of London were yesterday visited with a fog more dense than any which has occurred this year, or indeed during any year for the last eight or nine. All the shops, public offices and buildings were lighted up with gas. On the river, the railways, and in the streets the traffic was considerably interrupted, but we are happy to say that no accident of a serious character occurred. THE SUBMARINE TELEGRArn.--The directors of the Submarine Telegraph Company have at this moment several new metallic cables making, which will be sub merged in addition to that already in operation, one con ductor being already insufficient to convey .tho multitude of dispatches now exchanged between London and the Con tinent. The directors are also anxious to be no longer dependent on a single line. Although the telegraph has been opened but a few weeks, the facility and certainty with which it has worked have effected a great revolution in commercial arrangements, which would be thrown into confusion by the rupture of the communication. THE GREAT BRITAIN STEAM-SHIP.—The pro prietors of this leviathan vessel now lying in the Sandon graving dock at Liverpool, are about to gut her of her steam machinery and sell it. We hear that all the Commissioners of Customs have tendered their resignations, but Lord John Russell will not accept them till after an inquiry into their conduct.
