I n th e i nsurrectionsof the sth. 6th Juno the Marshal h a d everything in his hands; and the sufficient reply to the doubts which were then openly expressed of his honesty, was the fact that lagstood by the King. He astounded the King and the Cabinet by this suggestion, at that time—that, in the event of a serious insurrection, they should abandon ,Peril ! But, his plan he justified: and, perhaps, the counter pi ma , to rurround Paris with forts, was not w i ser . I n Whatever ho did ho managed to be successful; and his Govern ment, in his own department, was confessedly popular. The responsibility of the general policy of the Cabinet he shared in more than an indirect degree. Some . of his Colleagues would have desired a war for Poland or for Italy; he strenuously resisted all the republican appeals for French intervention, and whether wisely or not for Europe, with prosperous consequences f or L ou i s Phi lippe. A Marshal of the Empire could alone have sus. tamed the odium of an English alliance, which meant peace, and the King fully appreciated the service. It does not appear that the Marshal and his colleagues worked welt together. The Marshal and M. Guizot were enemies; and for " doctrinaires" generally, as M. Guizot and his sect began to be called, the Marshal had a profound contempt. On a question of appointing a Guizot and M. Thiers caballed against the Marshal and governor of Algeria, there was a split in the Cabinet; M. the Marshal retired—the grounds being purely personal between himself and his colleagues. The fall of Marshal Soult was the occasion of serious complications and diffi culties, but he would not re-connect himself with those home Louis gove who had i nsu lt e d and defied hien. With M. Tide' s , however, he k ept u p i n timate relations; and by the Kin g , who had a l ready commence d persona l government, he was confidentially consulted. At the breaking up of the Ministry o f the 11th of • October (183 4 ), he did not join succeeded which w in as es i t n ab t l h is e hi e n n g d so h a t f fatal Cabi net formed by M. Mole, and until 1637 he was inactive. I t was in the period from 1834 to 1837 that Philippa rn government. F or this Marshal Soult was but slightly responsible. Of the foreign of Louis Phillippe from 1830 to 1842 h o Was po icy reference to that he m ust b • 1,1 supporter, and in tsystem t o h o is f e tueged. The foreign policy and the home policy, in truth, h d and were however, rested dependent on ewe another. In 1837, Queen Victoria came to the English throne, and at the coronation of her Maj es t y . Soult was selected by the Cabinet in 1838, Marshal Ambassador extraordinary to London of the Tuileries as to cement the English alliance with His mission was and as a political agent in that ch the new Sovereign; ceived with a national welcome in Arita , be was re ments were showered upon hint by tgeand.• Ministers; and the people greeted the gre at Court and by ancient enemy, wherever he appeared, Igeneral the enthusiastic cheers. At the coronation his figure was the second in interest; and in the proce ss i on hi s carriage,, body, in the shape of a gond o l a , w i t h silver anouldteblau was grander than that of any English peer. Th e of Wellington appeared at public pla ces w i th him, and though malapropos public instructors sneered about Toulouse, and even went so far in detraction as to MOn Colonel Napier into a manly remonstrance and reminder of the pillar at Coranna,:the public were m a d with joy at the auspicious conjunction of the two her oes. From London, where military reviews, balls, and public dinners had ceaselessly invited him, the Marshal moved into the provinces ; and his journey to Birmingham, t o Liverpool, an d to Manchester was a long ovation. Al Liverpool he was entertained by the corporation; Wil liam Rathbone, an originator of peace societies, being Mayor and host : and at the dinner a fellow guest was the Sir Charles Napier who has since annexed Sinde to the British dominions. Excepting Kossuth, who has gone over the same ground, no foreigner has ever been so received in England. We next come to 1841. The Ministry of M. Mole fell. The Minister, and the press, and the Chamber were at war, and, to avoid the storm, the King sacrificed a faithful ser vant. A new Ministry was formed, and, in consequence of the dissensions of M. Guizot and M. Thiers, who would no longer act together, Marshal Soult was called to the Presidency of the Council. But this was not brought about without difficulty. While the King was without a ministry—or rather without a Ministry of repute enough to meet the crisis—there came an insurrection: the re volt of May 12. The Provisional Cabinet was swept away; and the King and society found a man in who= they could eonfide in Marshal Soult. While President of the Council he underwent the storm excited by the " Syrian question," and secured an intense unpopularity by his honourable anxiety to keep faith with Lord Pal merston. His Ministry was not long-lived. M. Guizot entered power, and the results constitute the news of yesterday. Since that time Marshal Soult, enfeebled by age, but still intellectually vigorous, lived in retirement, in the enjoyment of boundless fame and ample fortune. [PRICE SD. I ~- , DECEMBER 2, 1851.

This Company being now completely registered, the Directors take the earliest opportunity of laying before the Shareholders a statement of its progress and prospects. It may be confidently asserted that no Company was ever brought before the public with equal prospect of speedy and successful results. The prompt assistance afforded by the Shareholders to the Direc tors, and the perfect confidence in the management displayed by them, have enabled the Directors to take such steps as must ensure an enormous dividend within a few months. Sir Henry Huntley, the resident Director in California, has been in that country five months, and the course adopted by the Directors for carrying out this enterprise results from the experience obtained by him during that period. The instructions given to Sir Henry Hunt ey were, in effect, that he should make every possible inquiry relative to the state of the country, the tenure of land, the com parative merite of the different quartz veins in the several districts of California, and after mature deliberation to advise the Directors as to their beat course ofpruceeeling, and to take such measures as would enable them to carry out his views as speedily as possible, Following these instructions, he has secured for the benefit of the Company, sufficient lands for all mining purposes ; but he is clearly of opinion, that for the present, at least, it is not desirable to under take mining operations, but to crush and amalgamate quartz to be supplied by those who are possessed of mines, and have raised the quartz. With the assistance of some gentlemen of great experience in geology and mining matters, he has inspected and tested a great variety of reins in the Mariposa, Nevada, Grass Valley, and other districts, and has come to the conclusion, upon sound reasons, that the vicinity of Crass Valley and Nevada City, is that which affords the greatest advantages for car rying OR our enterprise. He has, therefore, entered into an agree ment with sonic American gentlemen, who have formed a company, and have opened, and, to a ecnsiderable extent, worked a vein of quartz, di.tant about three miles from Grass:Valley and Nevada City, and about thirty miles from Sacramento City, to crush and amalgamate the quartz to be raised from the mine opened by them. By means of machinery, he has already crushed and amalgamated considerable quantities of the quartz sup plied him from this mine; and the result of his operations has been to satisfy himself that the vein is of a full average richness, and that the locality offers many important advantages in the way of water, fuel, means of transit, &c., &c. He has, there fore, entered into a formal agreement with that Company, which, in a few words, amounts to this : he Is to be supplied by them with as much quartz as his machinery shall be fbund capable of crushing; the quartz is to be deposited at the mills free of expense ; he is to crush and amalgamate it at his own expense, and the gold produced is to be divided equally between the owners of the vein and our Company. Formal and legal agreements for carrying out the above arrangement fairly and honestly, and without any copartnership, have been entered into. Steam-engines and machinery estimated to crush about thirty tons of quartz a day, with funds sufficient for putting it in motion, have - been placed under the control of Sir Henry Huntley; and, unless some unexpected delay has arisen, the machinery is now actually at work, and a return will be made about Christmas next. Far the satisfaction of the existing shareholders of this Company, and without wishing, in any manner, to deteriorate from the merits of other Companies, the Directors are desirous of calling attention to some of the more prominent advantages possessed by this Com pany over others now in the field. Shareholders in other Companies must mainly rely upon reports sent over by persons interested in selling the mine; we rely upon the reports our of own resident Director and his practical assistants on the !pot, whose only interest is to give us facts. The Directors of other Companies generally base the estimate of the value of their mine upon calculations founded on experiments upon a few pieces of specimen quarts, sent over to this country for the express purpose of advertising the commodity offered for sale to the British public; we found our calculations apes experiments tried, during several weeks, on quartz raised from the mine, and crushed and amalgamated by our own Superintendent, and with our own machinery and apparatus. Other Companies propose to incur the expense and risk of carrying o ut mining operations xpon their vein, before the quartz arrives at their mill, and, should their labours prove successful, they must then pay out of their profits large per-centages for obtaining their leases, and large royal ties to their lessors ; whereas we ha v e secured as much quartz as our machinery is capable of crushing, the title to which is as secure as that of any other company, unfettered by any per -tentage or royalty. The half of the produce to be paid by this Company to the parties who supply us, free of expense, wills the quartz, being in fact merely equivalent to the dividend upon the outlay of capital ex pended in raising the quartz, and lodging it at the mill. All the new companies, unlike this, must be a considerable time before their arrangements and machinery can be ready for carrying out their schemes—this Company alone is actually at work. The paid-up capital of the Company will not exceed 20,0001. An almost certain estimate of the produce of our machinery can be formed, and, from the calculations made, the Directors confidently anticipate being able even at the most moderate estimate, to afford a dividend of 200 per cent., at the least, within the next twelve months. According to the data furnished to us, the quartz whleh we are now working yields upon an average 4d. per pound, or 11. 17s. 4d. per cwt., or 371. 6s. Bd. per ton; and, as we can crush and amalgamate at least 20 tons per diem, that would amount to 7461. 13s. 4d., or 3731. is. Bd. per diem as the share of this Company. By the peculiar arrangements this Company has made, based upon milt:4lCW experience, the economy in working expenses must necessarily be such as to render the current outlay most trifling. In case circumstances should induce the Directors to alter the system now adopted, and lead them to undertake mining operations of their own, arrangements have been made securing four distinct sites, most carefully selected for their eligibility for mining pur poses, and Sir Henry Huntley has on the spot Cornish miners who went out with him, and who have voluntarily retendered him their cervices.

ALEXANDER ROBERTSON. Manager._ THE DETERMINED ATTACK ON LOUIS NAPOLEON.—There is no question but that a crisis is norr near at hand, and that one of three important parties will shortly be settled as dominant in France—the Red Republicans, the Legitima tists, or the friends of the present Government. The attacks made in the Assembly on the Government of Louts Napoleon have been all but successful, and yet have signally failed ; but the last and worst attack was when the majority sought, by a Bill which has been sleeping nearly two years, to enpower the Assembly to impeach the President, the Ministry, and whoever else should favour the re election of Louis Napoleon. While, however, the French people are at loggerheads about clothing the Assembly or the Government with power, we on this side of the Channel are thinking about clothing ourselves ; and the best opportunity in the world presents itself, for the unique stock of Messrs. E. MOSES and SON is more novel, more extensive, and more elegant than at any former season. Each morning their extensive warehouses are crammed with new and elegant costume, however reduced the quantity may be by night. Their Winter Clothing supasses everything of the kind to be found in Europe, and Messrs.

Marshal Soult, one of the most distinguished, of French soldiers, and one of the most exalted of French statesmen, died on the night of the 26th ult. at St. Armand. Marshal Soult had been in complete retirement from the political world for about ten years, and had there fore lived long enough, as it were, with posterity to test the results of that appeal which is decisive of the just estimate of historical character. As a politician, active during more than twenty years of peace, he lived to en joy the fame which ho had acquired as a great general in the eventful era of the wars of the revolution and of Napoleon; and, lastly, in the seclusion to which his years called him, concurrently with circumstances which had baffled his undying ambition, he has been enabled, among his serene honours, to observe and ap preciate the consequences of that contest in which he was a conspicuous aotor, and by the results of which he, with his royal master, and his contemporaries have been judged. The eighty-two years of his life have been those years in which France has seen many mighty revolutions—and the life completing a circle, ends where it commenced, in a pericd of social disorder and political .distraction. lie entered on his career under a Republic; he sustained the empire; he strug gled through the Restoration; he was the soldier ot Louis Philippe; and he has seen a Republic again. Throughout that wonderful age, he was always a fare most man; and a more marvellous biography is not to be found in history. This biography, always of interest to Englishmen, because Soult was once a dreaded foe to England, is as familiar as the story of the times. Custcm requires, however, that we should reproduce on this occasion the heads of the strange chapter. Soult was born in the year fruitful of great men.- 1769. His origin was obscure, and, like most of Int generals of the empire, be was of the people, and a poor man's son. His birth-place was St. Auran's, in the de partment of the Tarn. He was a soldier from the first. In his sixteenth year, he entered a regiment of artil lery; and passing soon under the commands of Roche and Jourdan, the generals of the new Republic, 1;1o; with the rapidity peculiar to the time, when there was too much to risk to allow of etiquette or routine to in terfere with the search of the men fitted for the work. His character was not only that of a brave officer, but of a brave officer who was brave at the right time : and his merits attracted attention and secured promotion. The first occasion on which he forced himself on the notice of the whole army was at the battle of Fleurus; and the anecdote, taken from the historian of the " Vic toires et Conquetes des Francais" has long been current Soult was chief of the staff to General Lefebre, who headed the advanced guard of the army of the Moselle. When the right wing under Marceau was routed, and the general himself forced to fall back on Lefebre'a di• vision, he entreated, in an agony of despair, a succour of four battalions, that he might seek to recover his lost po sition. " Give these battalions to me," said Marceau to Lefebre, "or I will blow out my brains." Lefebre hesitated and consulted Soult. Soult remonstrated, and repre sented that to lend these battalions would endanger the safety of the whole division. Marceau was indignant that an obscure Aide should venture to have any opinion on such a subject. " Who are you?" cried Marceau. Soult responded, " Whoever I am I am calm, which you are not." The indignation of Marceau was extreme. He threatened, and then challenged Soult to a fight on the following day. " Tres bien," said Soult, " I will not treat you with disrespect. But I must speak the truth. Do not kill yourself, General; lead on your mon to the charge again, and you shall have our battalions as soon as we can spare them." The result justified Soult' s presumption. Lefebre's division was almost instantly afterwards assailed by the enemy. In the middle of the battle, when the French, as Lefebr e th oug ht, were being beaten, Soult's advice was again asked. Lefebre wanted to retreat, Soult pointed out signs on the enemy's side which indicated that they were themselves giving way. An order from Jourdan arrived to charge; and Soult was right, the enemy was retreating. When the battle was over Marceau con fessed the superiority of Soult; and the two officers embraced, Marceau protesting that Soult had won the battle. These and similar incidents spread the fame of the young soldier. He gained the confidence of his men; and his genius, supported by that confidence, accom plished wonders. We need not follow him through the career in which he was only a subordinate. He reached the rank of General of Brigade so early as 1794, and in four years more he was General of Division. Napo leon's eagle glance was ever on the look out for worthy lieutenants, and he inquired of Massena, who the most unequal of men, was at least invariably honest, whether Soult was a man to be trusted? Massena's emphatic report was, " Soult has no superior." This led to Soult being brought into activity within the personal observation of the First Consul; and from tho first Napoleon placed implicit faith in him. Soult was one of the first general , to whom, in 1804, was handed the baton of a Marshal ot France. Soult was probably the more trusted the ho would never sacrifice his individuality. Ile was an intensely obstinate man, and would seldom submit to the superior genius of his leader after he had received and acted upon the general instructions. Soult was given the command, in camp, of the " army of England." Ho here became remarkable for the rigid and remorseless discipline he enforced on the troops. They complained, and the First Consul interfered. Soult replied, " Such as cannot withstand the fatigue which I support myself will remain in the depots. Such as do stand it will be fit for the conquest of England and of the world." Soult was with Napoleon at Marengo, at Austerlitz, and at Eylau. At Austerlitz Napoleon said, when ho had assigned Soult's position, " The only instruction I have to give, Marshal, is this: Act as you always do." Soult did act as he always did—acted for himself. In the heat of the battle orders came from the Emperor, who had waited a long time for Scull to move, to attack with out delay and gain the heights of Pratzen. The aide-de-camp returned to the Emperor with the Mar. shal's reply, " It is not time yet." The Emperor, enraged, and fearing a fatal blunder, sent a second order. It was unnecessary—Soult had put his columns in mo del]. The Marshal had been watching the Russians, who were extending their line to the left, and so weak ening their centre, which rested on the heights, and he had waited fur the right moment. Napoleon saw the brilliancy of the movement. He galloped to the ground where Soult stood, and in the gladness of the assured conqueror, he said, " Marshal, you are the ablest tacti tian in the army." " I believe it, Sire," responded the Marshal, " since your Majesty tells me so." At Eylau, again, the French army was in a critical situation. Au gereau had been routed; Demist had been impeded. Ney and Bernadotte were still at a distance. The Em peror, discouraged and disappointed, desired to fall back, for the purpose of effecting a junction with the other corps. Soul recommended keeping the field, promising that the enemy would retreat in the night. This they old; and the French had the honour of a conceded vic tory. Napoleon was as generous in his acknowledg ments as Marceau had been years before. In 1808 Soult was sent to Spain—to crush the Eng lish. His career in Spain, against Moore, Beresford, and Wellington, is a thrice-told tale. His battles have been contested in books as well as on the field. French men innsist that he was invariably victorious. Eng lishmen insist that he was invariably beaten. The French military authorities state that he drove Sir John Moore to the sea, that Wellington fled before him if he had fled before Wellington, that he conquered at Albuera, and remained the victor at Toulouse, The English, if Southey be a representative, relate, as mat ters of course that Soult was beaten at Lugo a n d a t Corunna by Sir John Moore ; that the passage of the Douro by the English was disgraceful to the French Marshal ; that the battle of Albuera was discreditable to him ; aud that at Toulouse he never had a ! chance against !Wellington ; and they enhance all this by picturing Soult as a demon of cruelty, who upheld plunder and rapine as duties to his officers, and who marked all his marches in Spain and Portugal by gibbets in lieu of milestones. The first English histories of the Peninsular war were trium phantlaudations of Wellington and insolent denial of all genius to his competitors: and even so late as 1837, when Soult was a guest of England, he was given to under stand by Quarterly Review and "leading journal" that he could only be welcomed on the understanding that he had been soundly beaten at Toulouse. The military technical controversies in respect to great battles rage without any reference to the civil results; and English professional critics are just as absurd in insisting that Corunna was gained by the English as Frenchmen are in pointing out why Napoleon won at Waterloo. Fortu nately for Soult's fame in England, the English judg ment of him has, of late years, been entirely guided, first, by the Duke of Wellington's own dispatches, and nest by the impartial summing up of Sir William Napier. In the groat work of Napier full justice ie done to Soult; and the Marshal stands out in the picture of the war as a superb General, less than Wellington only because less fa voured by fortune. Soult was a generous soldier, and should be spoken of generously by a soldier. He could see the merits of Sir John Moore, testifying to them by erecting a monument at Corunna to the unfortunate Scotchman ; and Napier, in all the defeats of Soult, whether defeated when the terms were equal, or when political circumstances, as at Toulouse, made a drawn battle a defeat, can perceive nothing which ought to deprive the vanquished of a glory less than that of the conqueror. In his first Spanish campaigns Soult had enormous difficulties to deal with. Ho was only one of many generals, of equal power; he was in the midst of a country hostile to him ; and he was never properly backed. lie was in a perpetual quarrel with N ey, Mar mout, Suchet, and King Joseph; and as they would not do what he wanted, ho was the last man to be guided by them. In his second campaign aga i nst the English, in 1813.14, he fought on the lost aide, knowing it to be hopeless: the enemy triumphant, flushed with a se 'rlef well-earned victories, th e country d i spirited or inimical;s° and his own army beginning to doubt if the Emperor al ways won. Yet upon taki ng t h e command of the army in July, 1813, as the " lieutenant" of the Emperor, his proclamation to the troops breathed the haughtiest confidence in his cause and in his chances; worthy of notice that while declaring and it is had been well commanded at Vitto. that if the have French beaten the English, he is just and niloabltehey woi h ild t ay the highest compliments to Lord Wellington. enou T l he I) P ulte in his dispatches charges Soult with cruelty: and praises, when he has to praise, with terrible coldness. That Snit no careless of means in ottainiDg his ends is very apparent; but this is a fault common to all gene rals. Of the results Napier speaks. In writing of the rout of Bsya, in 1811, he says-4, to refrain from admiring Soult's vigour andability. At fit At Albuera he that lost one of the erces battles upon human record, and a moment when taking the offensive, obliged the allies to the King, by abandoning his, throne, at embarrassment. Nevertheless, holdinghad doubled every Estre madure, ho still maintained thestruggle, fast to the utmost it must be considered that Guadiana. If he did not thenr a e n p d a s a s g the ain push Here i t, t ?s is fortune impossible to mand was divided, th a t hi s troops were h at cin. pressed with the re co ll ect i on of Albuera, and hil tLiill genius of his adversary h a d worked out new tou r at the for him in Andalu s i a . Wi t h h ow much resoluti °l bles activity be repressed tho se t rou bl es I have just shown;land but, above all things, h e i s to b o commended for the prudent vigour of his ad m i n i s t rat i on, which, in is despit e o of the opposition of Joseph's Spanish counsellors, had impressed the Andalusians with such a notion of his power and resources that no revolt of any real cense quenco took place, and none of his civic guards or Es copeteros failed him in the hour of need. Let any man observe the wide extent of country he had to maintain, the frontiers fringed, as it were, with hostile armies, the i lterior suffering under war requisitions, the people secretly hating the French, a constant insurrection in the Ronda, and a national government and a powerful army in the Isla de Leon, innumerable English and Spanish agents, prodigal of money and of arms, continually insti gating the people of Andalusia to revolt, the coast co vered with hostile vessels, Gibraltar sheltering beaten ar mies on one side, Cadiz on another, Portugal on a third, Murcia on a fourth, the comm unication with FraFediffi. cult, two battles lost, few reinforcements, and all the material means to bo created in the country—let any man, I say, consider this and he will be convinced that it was no common genius that could remain unshaken amidst such difficulties. Yet Soult not only sustained _ himself, but contemplated the most gigantic offensive enterprises, and was at all times an adversary to be treaded. What though his skill in actual combat was not so remarkable as in some of his contemporaries, who can deny him firmness, activity, vigour, foresight, grand perception,and admirable:arrangement? It is this combi nation of high qualities that forms a great captain." Soult, beyond all question, was something very much more than a great general. A "great captain" is a man who have hat cEamutpioeruosrly, who, was o mmed can govern as well as fi g h t. Soult was capable of ul oft heroically grand resoluti ons . Hi s determination to act on the offensive when sent b y Napoleon to keep the English from crossing th e P yrenees, and when any otherworth worthy general viod lieutenant disasters of Russia, was ready to f ace all i after the Europe, and faced it by advancing on the allies. Soult was essen tially a soldier of heroin proportions. His silent re serve, his taciturn firmness, his inexorable resolution, awed his army into adequate instruments for his pur poses. He never knew when he was beaten, and never allowed his troops to think defeat possible. When he issued his proclamation in 1813 he addressed soldiers who had been routed at Talavera, at Ciudad Rodrigo, at Salamanca, at Vittoria, and at Albuera; and he knew that whatever might bo his successes ultimate destruc tion was inevitable. Yet he spoke in the same tone as when, in 1809, after driving Moore to his ships, he was marching into Portugal in the belief that at the end of his march he would find a throne. Soult was absent from Spain during the time Lord Wellington was most successful. It may be that had he been at Vittoria ho would have fared as badly as Niarmont; but it is a fact that Spain was lost to the Emperor while Soult was with the Emperor. Soult was withdrawn in consequence of the complaints made by King Joseph. Joseph had written to his bro ther to say that either he (Joseph) or Soult must quit Spain. Soult, ho said, was a man not to be trusted: " restless, intriguing, ambitious, ho would sacrifice everything to his own advancement, and possessed just that sort of talent which would lead him to mount a scaffold when he thought he was ascending a throne." This was the representation, in reference to one of his greatest commanders, which greeted Napoleon just as he reached Paris from Moscow. " In the most calm and prosperous state of affairs," says Napier, " coming from this source, the charges might well have excited the jealous wrath of the strongest mind; but in the ac tual crisis, when the Emperor had just lost his great army, and found the smothering embers of a suppressed conspiracy at his very palace gates—when his friends were failing and his enemies accumulating, it seems scarcely possible , ' that these accusations should not have proved the ruin of Soult. Yet they did not even ruffle the temper of Napoleon. Magnanimous as he was sagacious, he smiled at the weakness of Joseph, and though he removed Soult from Spain because the feud between him and the King would not permit them to serve beneficially together, it was only to make him the commander of the Imperial Guard." The withdrawal was only for a time. Soult was with Napoleon, serving him faithfully a t Bautzen, and at Dresden. But there came the news of Vittoria. Southern France was uncovered to Welling ton. Only two men were fit, in Napoleon's estimate, to meet Wellington—Napoleon and Soult. lie could not go himself: he sent Soult. It was a great mission and a high trust, and Soult was worthy of the confidence re posed iu his genius and in his honour. He lost at San Sebastian, at Orthea, and at Toulouse. Then there reached him the news that the Emperor had abdicated, He did not oven then submit. There was a truce and he paused. None knew which course he would take. At last he submitted. Perhaps not because he despaired of Napoleon. With a rugged outward indifference to all changes he now became a loyalist. Like other mar shals he consented to be courted by Louis the Eighteenth. The most formidable of them he was courted more than the others; and ho became Minister of War to the restored Bourbon. The Imperialists called this treachery to the Emperor —and so it was. But Soult, as far as ho can be comprehended at all, in his po litical actions had only one rule to steer by—to assist the strongest. Ho had no " principles," in our accep tation of " principles," was neither a republican, a royalist, nor an imperialist. Ho found himself, in 1814, in a dilemma. Immediate retirement was hardly possible: and the temptations to maintain his position, for per manent good government ,under the Bourbons, if that were possible, or for the purpose of afterwards aiding Napoleon, if that were possible, were very great. He was too sagacious to believe that the Bourbons could maintain themselves; and ho was not of that class of men who disclaim expediencies inpursuit of their objects, or even to confess their objects. He had a faith in and a love for Napoleon, there is no doubt; and if ho did not become Minister at War to Louis XVIII. fur the very purpose of betraying Louis XVIII., it is very certain that ho did not hesitate to desert his former chief the moment the news arrived that Napoleon had landed from Elba. He preferred, like all soldiers, the winning side: and on Napoleon's side ho saw not only the best chance, but the side on which his natural leanings placed him. Ho had, how ever, ceased to be Minister, or connected with the Go vernment at all, when he rejoined Napoleon; and hence his escape from the dangers of which Ney was the victim. He was with Napoleon, his " right hand," throughout the last struggle. He fought at Waterloo; and he it was whom Napoleon only would believe when told that all was lost. There is no need to particularise this portion of the history. After Waterloo Soult was, perforce, patient. There could be no second return of the Emperor; and the Bour bons were not disposed to trust him again, had he been dis posed to trust them. He fled from France, taking shelter in Berg, and there he - remained three years, it is said, writing his military memoirs, and probably little ex pecting that only half his career had been accomplished. Daring this time he appears to have conciliated the new powers in France. He had friends at Paris, and he was still too powerful, if only as a name, for his friendship to be forgotten. In 1819 he obtained the royal 'permis sion to return to France, and in 1821, so far had he suc ceeded in disarming resentments, his Marshal's baton was returned to him. He was now again on the scene— a political personage—potent for good or evil. lie, how ever, maintained a wary reserve. At this period there were no alternatives in France. The empire was gone, the Duke of Reichstadt was a child, the Duke of Orleans dwelt in decencies, and no man dreamed of another Re public. France was humbled, passive, broken down; and, so far, the restored Princes were without enemies, and without fears. It was a time of transitions; and so much, without seeing the result, every man could see. Marshal Soult held aloof, reposing on his laurels, and enjoying the homage of society. But events marched; there was still vitality in wounded and suffering France.

BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND STOUR VALLEY. __ The opening of this important line of railway com munication, from this town through the iron districts of South Staffordshire to Wolverhampton, was announced to take place on Monday morning, but the public were again doomed to disappointment, and some hundreds of perscns subjected to great inconvenience. It is impossible, under the circumstances, and amidst so much controversy, to say with accuracy with whom the blame originates; but as far as we have been in. formed upon the subject the facts are as follow:—The war which has so long been waged between the Shrews. bury and Birmingham and London and North-Western Companies is notorious. In the Stour Valley line. which is now leased to the North-Western, the Shrews. bury Company has an interest, as shareholders, amounting to one-fourth, and, according to the terms of the Act authorising the lease, possesses running powers over the line to and from Wolverhampton to Birmingham, provided they do not lease the Shrews. bury line to or amalgamate themselves with the Great Western or any other opposing railway company. Should they do so, the agreement which is sanctioned by Act of Parliament, so far as relates to running powers, is void. The Shrewsb u ry a n d Bi rm i ng h am an d Chester and Shrewsbury Railways have lately agreed to amalgamate with the Great Western in opposition to the London and North-Western, and it is now contended by the latter company that this amalgamation at once excludes the Shrewsbury and Birmingham from the Stour Valley line. On the other hand, the Shrewsbury and Birmingham people contend that an agreement to amalgamate, though under the seals of the several com panies, does not amount to an amalgamation, and that their running powers on the Stour Valley line are still in force. These, we understand, are the main points in dispute. So soon, therefore, as the London and North-Western Company declared their intention of opening the Stour Valley this morning, the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company announced their intention to assert their right, and if necessary by force, to run their own indep en d ent trains on the line. The danger of opposing companies running independent trains on the same railway need not be dwelt upon. However, the determination of the Shrewsbury Company was apparently irrevocable, and early this morning a placard was posted upon the walls of Birmingham, and we believe along the whole line of the Stour Valley Railway (an announcement of which appears in our advertising columns). The notice was served upon Mr. Nickel yesterday (Sunday) afternoon, when the officers of the North- Western Company proceeded to Wolverhampton to watch the proceedings of the Shrewsbury people. It was ascertained that all was prepared for carrying into effect the threats used, and having satisfied themselves upon this point, they returned to Birmingham this morn ing. While these measures had been taken the North- Western had dispatched engines to Wolverhampton, two o h f oo w d h i i h ch th w o e o r o e u p r l s a o ce o d f y up es o t n erd th a y or the line t i o n_ d th a a y t , noenigehhbeoinurg placed on each line of rails. This morning, at half-past seven o'clock, when the first passenger train ought to have left Birmingham, a special engine started with Mr. Stewart, Mr. Cart er , solicitor, Mr. Morgan, secretary :to the Stour T a ll ey, Mr. Robinson, manager of the London and N orth. Western at Birmingham, and Mr. Norris, &C., t o Wol verhampton. Several of the company's police were also conveyed to the station in that town.

MINING INTELLIGENCE; MONDAY EVENING. --The market has shown great activity to-day, and transactions have taken place in Alfred Consols, Merilyn, Treviskey, Mary ADD, Tr.- velyan, and Penralt. The market for Californian gold shares was quiet, with little change in quotations, prices being generally fairly supported. West Mariposas were done at one time at par, but left off 3.16 to 1-16 din.; Agues Fria ruled at 1 5.16 to 1 7-16 prem.; Nouveau Monde, j to i• prem.; Golden Mountain, to :prem.; Ave Maria, die. to par; Anglo Californian, Ito prem. With the receipt of filler intelligence from California relative to the want which is felt of adequate machinery for the crushing of the quartz, more interest is now felt in the proposal of some of the companies to use the means which will be at their disposal In the prosecution of this branch of business alone, should no favour able induCements be held out for the commence ment of actual, mining operations. Of the suc cess which is to be expected as attendant upon such a course of operation, we have an illustration in the arrangement made by Sir Henry Huntley on ac count of the Anglo-Californian Company, by which he engages to crush the quartz, and rewire one-half the nett produce in return. Apprehensions are felt by seine that with the great increase of mills and machinery re ported as taking place in the auriferous districts, the profits from quartz crushing will be much diminished, owing to the competition thus induced; but the objection appears entitled to little weight, as even in such an even tuality a quarter of the nett yield would afford a large dividend; and then, again, the attention of the local management would doubtless be turned to mining, which in such a case would become the more profitable pursuit. One important element of success possessed by the Cali fornian companies must not be overlooked: "many fail of success" state our advices "from the want of practi cal experience in this mode of mining;" this being a pursuit in which the advantages of capital are moat sen sibly felt. The Anglo Californian Gold Mining Company . have given the usual notice in the London Gazette of their in tention to apply in the ensuing session of Parliament'for an Act of Incorporation for the company. Besides the demand arising from the Californian and Austrian gold mining schemes, the development of the Australian copper mines has been taken in hand by in fluential parties, who have decided upon raising capital to the:extent of 350,0001. • At Goginan Mine the lode in Taylor's shaft below the 4 14 , o pr fa o t d h u o c m ing le i vl i e to o n stl o il o l r a e rg p eand the . pa T rt h s e in e k to i pe ng p s u ov o e n r the 140 are producing li ton Per fathom.
