NOVEMBER 14, 1850. Everything considered, the Message addressed to the National Assembly by the French P2ESIDENT may be ranked by the Republic among the most brilliant of her official documents. Throughout every sentence breathes the serenity of a statesman, and, yet with all the calmness befitting the office of the chief magistrate, there is perceptible, at the same time, the fervour inspired by a genuine and practical patriotism. Louis NAPOLEON has, in this formal utterance of his opinions, entitled himself to the re• spent of all those who, in spite of his sagacious po licy, ever since his election on the 10th of December, have reserved for him the contempt engendered by two unfortunate remembrances. By this Presi dential Message, dated from the Palace of the Etysee, he has at length permanently obliterated the memory of his previous miscalculations. The histo rian of artillery has shown himself in yet another and a greater department—the department not of litera ture but of government—worthy of representing the puissant and imperial house of the BONAPARTEE. In the very exoraium of this masterpiece its excel lence becomes perceptible, where, addressing himself n the Assembly, he reminds the members of that great Parliament that the same electors who had chosen them by their suffrages had also elevated him to the chair of the supreme magistracy. Through the mere hint of this reminiscence be pours over the turmoil of factions the balm of effectual conciliation. His sense of the difficulties of his po sition, his knowledge of the jealousy with which his slightest action is regarded, his ac quaintance with the suspicions entertained in reference to his own dynastic ambition, fail in any degree to influence the candour of his expressions, or to disturb, even for an instant, the clearness of his broad and imperturbable judgment. He scans with the lucidity of an experienced ruler the whole of the complicated machinery of administration, taking a rapid but, at the same moment, complete and com prehensive retrospect of the occurrences which, dur ing the last year, have in France furnished materials for her future annalist. Aware that the principal difficulty be has had to encounter since his nomination as PRESIDENT is that of interior re-organization, Louis NAPOLEON reverts with some complacency to those measures which have led to the revival of something like order and prosperity, more or less, throughout the whole of the departments. Reminding the Legislature that he bad caused no less than 421 mayors and 183 adjoints to be dismissed, the PRESIDENT directed their attention to the im proved spirit which had again begun to manifest itself among the municipalities. Calling to mind the cir cumetance of his having found it necessary to dissolve the National Guard in 153 towns and communes, he intimated that in those instances the localities were no longer liable to perpetual and unceasing dis quietude. With reference to the wholesome cle mency evinced towards the criminal population by the Republican Government, he stated that as many as 2,400 convicts had been liberated without endangering the public tranquillity ; and, deducting 458 more who had been sent across the Mediterranean. to Algeria, observed that 348 still remained in the prisons, in whose behalf hie Ministers proposed to lay before the Assembly a project of law ensuring them relief by a system of agricultural colonization. Adventuring upon another section in his retrospect the PRESIDENT maintained that his policy had been productive of very great and conspicuous financial advantages. Instead of ending a budget of 300,000,000 francs imposed upon the Treasury, the national representatives would, he remarked, thanks to the progress of the revenue and to the economy introduced into the different services, find the deficit reduced to 100,000,000 r. Besides which, he continued, such were the benefi cent fruits of internal order and tranquillity, that the tunds deposited in the savings' banks from the Ist of January, 1849, bad already exceeded the withdrawals by 69,000,000 f. Other encouraging particulars are also enumerated in the paragraphs of the Message immediately following, and, by a judicious transition, the scrutiny of the Assembly is next directed towards the great progress simultaneously made in the ma nagement and development of Public Works. Copious details of a statistical character are there upon given in reference to the enterprise mani fested in the construction of national railroads. Regard is next had to the real and apparent condition of commerce and of agriculture. Louis NAPOLEON observes in reference to this department of the public service that attention has all along been had to the compensation of such• a reduction in the price of grain as would produce a corresponding de preBsiun in the cattle markets—a compensation only to be secured with any degree of justice by a regard being had to the patronage of the breeding of cattle by the administration of agriculture. Referring to the precautionary measures of quarantine, Louis NAPO LEON very sagaciously reprobates the exaggeration of such measures, as tending to trammel the liberty of international relations. Equally satisfactory statements are afterwards made in the course of the Presidential Message in al lusion to the department of justice, due consideration being had to each of those draughts of essential laws already submitted to the Assembly—those on mort gages, on judiciary assistance, and on judiciary or ganization. As to the necessities of public instruc ion and religious worship, the PRESIDENT avows that every solicitude has been shown to the urgency of their requirements. After recording with an expres sion of pleasure the important tact that the Holy See had created three colonial bishoprics, and had appointed three prelates for the island of La Reueion, for Martinique, and far Guadeloupe, he con males with an air of exultation—" The SOVEIRIGII PONTIFF proclaimed at the same consistory three new Cardinals granted to the French Church as an end vent proot of gratitude towards our nation and of esteem for the French Episcopacy." A brief but significant paragraph in reference to the war department evidence the scrupulous anxiety ,f the Republican Government to economise the public resources without j?opardising the national tran- quillity—as, for instance, where it is observed Oat the army has bts.n gradually reduced from 451,000 men and 93 ; 754 horses to 396,000 men And 87,400 horses while arrangements are being made for its still further diminution• Simultaneously it is shown by Louis NAPOLEON that he has had an aye to the better organization of the ma rine forces of the Republic, forces which embrace now 125 ships, manned by 22,561 sailors, whereas, in 1848, the former numbered 235, and the latter 29,331. These particulars go far to corroborate the sin- cerity of those pacific Intentions which have been , xpressed by the French PRESIDENT, when speaking _ _ of the foreign relations of the Republican 6.overn oent. Pernaps the most important part of this section of the Message is its commencement, where allusion is made to the most remark able achievement of French arms since the outbreak of the revolution. The language of the PRINCE upon this subject is 4imple and emphatic. " Since my last messtr," says he, " our foreign policy has obtained in Italy a great success. Our arms have overthrown at Rome that turbulent demagogy which throughout the Falian Peninsula had compromised the cause of true liberty, and our brave soldiers have had the signal honour of replacing Pope Pius IX. on the throne of St. PETER. The spirit of party will fail in obscuring this memorable deed, which will form a glorious page for France." As to the diplomatic policy of his Alinbtry, the PRINcs has found every reason for expecting with some show of confidence the felicitations of the national repre sentatives. Turkey, Greece, Spain, and Denmark have dike experienced from France the good and friendly offices of her Government—the Cabinet, which was once accustomed but " to set the world in arms," entering, and with success, upon the labours of international conciliation. After a masterly resume of the entire Message, a resume in which the Prince Loris NAPOLEON grapples boldly with the various and complicated difficulties by which he finds himself still, more than ever surrounded, he closes his address to the Assembly with these bold and manly exclamations I have honestly opened my heart to you. You will respond to my frankness by your confidence—to my good intentions by your co operation ; and GOD will do the rest." Language worthy of a patriotic statesman and of the chief ma gistrate of a young but vigorous democracy. From our rapid, but suggestive, synopsis of this im portant Message, we are satisfied that it must be suf ficiently obvious we were justified in declaring it worthy of being ranked among the most brilli ant documents of the Republican Government. Another terrific explosion of fire-damp has carried dismay among the collieries. Most earnestly do we hope that in the end some effectual preventive will be discovered by scientific experin2entelists for the pre servation of the unfortunate miners from the dangers of these melancholy catastrophes. Hitherto, un happily, although of frequent recurrence, no efficient mewls of security has yet been suggested. Neverthe less, in spite of the lung absence of any such philan thropic hint, we are still sanguine that some simple remedy is discoverable. The apparent miracles ac complished from time to time by the in genuity of our chemi ca l or mechanical philoso phers encourage us in this confident expec tation. From a sense of the beneficent things already effected, through the medium of researches made in the laboratory, we are still filled with a reliance on the resources of that great department of intellectual inquiry. Only on this ground can we finci_any consolation in our hearts when hearing of "• . THE SUN, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER l4, 1850. restored to their anxious and mourning friends, who gathered round the pit-mouth awaiting in silence and resignation the return of each exhausted party from the poisonous atmosphere of the workings." Any position more terrible under the cir cumstances we can scarcely imagine ; and yet, grievous as was the character of this fatal casualty near Newbottle, it has frequently been ex ceeded in disastrous consequences by other explosions within our recollection. Fortunately this time the destruction of life scarcely exceeded that of a quarter of a hundred of individuals, including the rolly•boys and waggon-men. On many previous occasions the result has been quadrupled, and in one or two in stances the ♦ictims hare been even yet more nume rous. Notwithstanding, however, that previous calamities of a similar description may have exceeded the present one numerically, intrinsically the mis fortune has been in every particular sufficiently calamitous. To the families of those who have perished it has, for example, brought nothing but destitution and wretchedness. To them it matters not that more miners have been Mire now blown to atoms, or charred to mummies by a like explosion elsewhere—they have lust their relations, and in some instances their supporters, by a sudden and frightful death. And with each of these occurrences through out the locality in which it happens to transpire, the sense of daring encountered in mining operations propagees itself in a manner so contagious as to affect in a great mea-ure the sentiments 'of the entire population. Evils and evils of a very appreciable kiwi, can alone arise . out of this popular dread of destruction. The influence soon proves itself to be pernicious ; and unless some active mea sures be adopted for the scientific prevention of such calamities as those to whlch we are now reverting, the baneful efiects of this feeling of insecurity must ultimately tend to mar the industrial energies of the people living and labouring in the collieries. Inso- much are we persuaded of this, that a certain sense of dread for the con3cquences of further inactivity begins to blend with our anxieties for the removal of the existing danger. We look forward, therefore, with renewed eagerness to the time when the prin ciple of benevolence shall be vindicated by philozophy in reference to the condition of our mining popula tion. That science has the capacity to guard against the recurrence of those continual perils we are confident. The admirable invention of the miner's lanthorn by Sir HUMPHREY DAVY is to our mind but as the germ of a great system of precautions, an incitement to further inquiry rather than an object of merely idle admiration. To our scieutific experimen• talists, therefore, to our chemical and mechanica philosophers, these colliery explosions appeal more peculiarly and individually. To them we look for the ulterior guardianship of this large and iwportant sec tion of our industrious fellow countrymen. Let them be excited to new efforts at discovery by a convic tion that their success in those endeavours must tend to alleviate a vast amount of human suffering, and to save the lives of those sturdy toilers who can be least spared out of the whole budy of the commuoity.

At the Court at Windsor, the 13th day of November, 1850, present, the Queen's Most Excellent Ma jesty in Council. It is this day ordered by her Majesty in Council that the Parliament, which stands prorogued to Thursday, the 14th day of November instant, be further prorogued to Tuesday, the 17th day of De cember next. THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE.-116 Grace is now worse; his complaint proving water in the chest. CARDINAL WlSEMAN.—Yisterday being in the Romish rubric commemorative of St. Didacus, confessor, Cardinal Wiseman commenced his archiepiscopal duties by celebrating the eight o'clock mass, which it is said he will continue to do throughout the week. As it was not under stood that his Eminence would officiate yesterday morning, the congregation was very small. THE EXHIBITION OP 1851.—At an extraordinary special court of the Goldsmiths' Company, held last week, it was resolved to award the sum of lOU for prizes to be given to those artists of the craft of the United Kingdom, who can produce works of the greatest merit, in gold and silver plate, for the Exhibition. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East Italia House, when Lieutenant -General Sir John Grey, K.C.8., was sworn in Commander-in-Chiet of the Company's forces and second member of Council on the Bombay Estab lishment. The more polished the society is, the less formality tete is in it.—. Eliza Cook's Journal. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 14.—The screw -steamer Geneva arrived from Gibraltar last night, at eleven o'clock, in fire days twenty-two hours, with dispatches, which are now in possession of the Post-office, and will be delivered this afternoon. The mail-packet left Gibraltar two days before the Geneva. THE LATE CHARGE AGAINST M. ►SIERELL.--.Qn Tuesday the property taken by the police from Mr. Sirrell's premises in Barbican, pending the charges made against h im at the Mensicn-house, was returned by order of the Po lice Commissioners. Immediately after the discharge of Mr. Sirrell on Tuesday last, on the several London chdrges made against him, Messrs. Lewis, his solicitors, made appli cation to the Commissioners of Police for the restoration of the property seized, which led to an interview between Mr. J. G. Lewis and Mr. Alayne, the Chief Commissioner; and the result was that the property, except some few articles for which parties bad applied, was on Tuesday taken back from Whitehall to Barbican. The Bishop of Winchester bas licensed the Rev. W. G. Martin, M.A., curate of St. Mary Magdalene, Old Kent-road, to the incumbency of the district of Christchurch, in the same parish, in the nomination of the trustees of flvndman's Bounty. THE POLISH BALL AT GUILDHALL THIS EVEN ING.—We rejoice to hear that the success of this charitable undertaking is no longer doubtful. The brisk sale of tickets for the last few days, and particularly yesterday, shows the interest felt by the public in the fate of Poland, and the popularity of the ball, which, in point of splendour and brilliancy, has not its equal. The one which takes place this evening will be rendered doubly so by all the arrange ments made, which will ensure the comfort and enjoyment of the company. let another and another of these disastrous oc currences. The misery of having to earn a wretched hood by toiling in the bowels of the earth, hidden , all the day from the blessed light of the heavens, is surely sufficient for tho-as indus trious operatives, without rendering any fur ther sorrow necessary, as an incitement to their energies. Yet, added to the regrets engendered, doubtless, amongst the more reflective members of the class, are the horrid anxieties consequent upon the sense of their continual peril. A knowledge that at any moment, almost, they are liable to be instanta neously destroyed, or what is perhaps worse, fright fully and painfully mutilated, is enough, in all con , science, to render them alien for ever to every feeling of happiness. Besides which, the recollection of their perpetual liability to destruction in this terrific man ner is sufficient to interfere with the proper per formance of their duties. For the dissipatie nof these ' great evils we shall continue to be most solicitous, at any rate until such time as we shall see an endeavour, at the very least, to bring about the prevention of their continuance. From the particulars already given of the late st of these calamities, the one which took place as re cently as Monday in the Houghton Pit, near New bottle, it will be seen that, as in the majority of similar cases, it was preceded by no premonitory symptoms of the coming danger. L► the midst of their subterranean labours the unfortunate work men were startled by a loud but muffled explosion, followed by all the horrors of that atmospheric catastrophe. Their condition at ti is moment appears to have been more than usually terrible. Those who were not actually killed, either by burning or suffo cation, are described as having retreated a few yards into a little purer air and there become stationary. " They soon discovered," says the report, " that they were hemmed in by a body of choke-damp, to pass through which would have been impossible, for any of them on attempting to enter it but a few yards were overcome, and would have fallen, had they not hastily retreated. O❑ consulting together, it was considered the safest plan to remain where they were, and trust to the exertions that would be made to reach them from the shaft, by carrying in the air ; and they did so remain for between five or six hours, until their delivery was effected. Before that time had expired many a stout heart quailed in prospect of certain death. A dread solemnity pervaded the mind of every one ; impenetrable darkness increased the agony of feeling, and the silence of this tomb of the living was only broken by wild ejaculations of despair, fervent prayer, and supplications to the ALMIGHTY for deli verance, or at intervals by signal shouts intended to guide any exploring party to the sepulchral abode. It i 3 impossible for the pen to portray the condition of these poor men during this long and fearful period, or convey any adequate conception of their joy and gra titude on being rescued horn such extreme peril and E FREINCII PIiTUBLIC Warsaw were held solely for the purpose of con certing measures against Prussia and the revolu tionary pr ,, paganda in Europe. Prince GERTSHAROFF, the Russian Minister, pre sented his credentials to the Frankfort Diet on the 11th. " Lord PALMERSTON," says a letter from Berlin of the 10th, in the Cologne Gazette, "has declared in a dispatch that up to this time he has abstained from any intervention in the affairs of Germany, !n order not to offend the susceptibility of the nation, and be cause he had confidence in the wisdom of our states men ; but now that events have assumed another cha racter, the Noble Lord advises the two Cabinets to make mutual concessions." -.0.-_ We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The great topic on which they ail comment is, of course, the Messsge:of the PRESIDENT; that the journals of the Elysee, such as the Constitutionnel, the Patrie, and the Pays, should praise it as the per fection of wisdom and honesty, was to have been ex pected, but it seems by its tone of moderation to have disarmed many who have recently been foremost in the ranks of the PRESIDENT'S opponents. The Ordre, for instance, thus speaks of this important document : " For our part, we who have been obliged with pain to ourselves to be more than once severe, although not wilfully unjust in our judgments, we will not now de scend to a war of chicanery, of recrimination, or of rancour against the first magistrate of the Re public, when in the face of Eurepe he takes such forted' en gagements. We will neither be fla.ters eor dupes. We e resolved to serve alone the interests of our country; but since Luuis Boraparte avows like intentions, we have not, so long as he continues in this line, to comLaL his policy." The Liebats sne:iks of the propriety and delicacy with which the PRESIDENT has alluded to the question of the revision of the Constitution as beyond ail praise, and expresses an assurarce that this part of the Message will find numerous and most lively sympa thies threughout the country. The National, in commenting upon the iMessage, says that it is in acts, not in words, that the policy of a Government is shown, and declares that the acis of the PRESIDENT are in direct contradiction to his words; and, in allusion to the expressions of respect for the Constitution with which the Message con cludes, 'asks whether that respect was shown in the encouragement given to the non-cenunissioned officers to raise the cry of "To the Tuileries," at the ban quets of the Elysee; whether it was manifested by the reviews of Satory and the dismissal of General NEUMATER, or by the suppression of the liberties guaranteed by the Constitution, more particularly of universal suffrage. Having asked these questions, the National thus proceeds:— " It we cannot praise the Message for what it has said, we cannot do it the more for what it does not say Is there temention in the Message of the restitution of suppressed liberties, such as the liberty of the press, of the right of meeting, of association? Not a word. Is there a question of one of the great reforms which the revolution of February placed on the order of the day? No. Is there a mention of a foreign policy which, is securing our legitimate influence in Europe, would be truly conformable to our interests and to our principles, and create us alliances wherever liberty revives and public rights vindicate themselves ? No. Is there a mention of the re-establishment of universal suffrage, which alone can express the power of the national will, and cut the Gordian knot tied by the competition of parties? Not a word. The chief of the executive power had a certain means of securing the future, of appeasing the agitation of the public mind, of inspiring confidence, and changing into activity toe para lysis which had seized on c,rumerce and manufactures. It was not to make sterile promises, of which all govern ments have been prodigal; but to present himself before the Assembly with a series of Bills, having for object and effect to restore to our institutions their sincerity, to neglected rights the guarantees assured them by the constitution, to principles their regular application, to the sovereignty of the people the universal urn, to the Republic the very conditions of its existence. TLis i what has not been done. This is why nothing of the groundwork cf the state of things will be changer!. there is not a sad reality the less—there is only one promise the more." The Siacle takes advantage of the delivery of this Message to renew its protest against the Roman ex pedition, and the restoration of sacerdotal despotism in [tome by the arms of the French Republic. The funds rose immediately after the contents of the PRESIDENT'S Message became known on - the Bourse. It was considered improbable, by those in Paris who are the best informed on the subject that, hosti lities would take place in Germany. The National describes an amusing caricature of the King of PRUSSIA which has just been published in Pais. In his right hind he holds a paper on which is inscribed " order"--in bis left another on which is inscribed " counter•order"_ whilst on his forehead is inscribed in large letters the word " disorder." At the sitting of the A9sembly yesterday MM. DARTS, LEON FAUCHER, BEN OISTD'AZT. and General BEDEAU were all re-elected and proclaimed vice-presidents. The old secretaries, MM. ARNAULD (de l'Arrieg.-). LACASE, CHAP.JT, HECKEREN, BERAUD, and PEUPIN were also re-elected. HOLLAND. I'HE HAGUE, Nov. 12. The report of the Second Chamber on the prject of law for wanting a life pension to three ex-mem bers of the old First Chamber has just been pub lished. The report speaks very unfavourably of the proposal. It declares that the projf-ct contains neither cic.ini nor .institicwion for a pension, and that in every case the proposed sum of 4,000 florins per annum was far too high.—Dutch Papers. Several projects of law for credits were then adopted without any discu4ion. The Minister of Foreign Affairs presented a pnjet de loi for the ratification of the treaty of navigation and commerce, recently concluded between France and Sardinia. M. ANTONT THOURET then rose to propose that the Prorogation Committee should deposit the minutes it has drawn up on the incidents which have created so much agitidon in the course of the vacation, and that the minutes of the different tneetimgs of the corn • inittee should tie printed and distributed. The motion Was Securill. -- d by M. BAUDIN. M. ODILON BARROT then rose and said that the Prorogation Committee did not consiz!er it ritces , ary to present a report, and that be bad, therefore, no further explanations to give on the subj ct. lie terminated by moving the order of the day, which was voted by an immense majority. The House then rose. The Committee appointed to consider the demand made by the Procureur-General for leave to prosecute M. CuAvoix, who killed M. DUPONT in a duel, his refused to grant it. M. CIIAVOIX, who is a Repub lican, has, contrary to all French rules in such cases, been kept a close prisoner at Toulouse, ever since the duel. The Committee appointed to examine the Bill in tr,dued by the questors, relative to the paying of the salary of the Commissary of Police of the Assembly, has reported in favour of the measure. M. A. DE KERDEEL is appointed reporter. BOURSE, PARI S , W EDNESDAY, Nov. 13. THREE O'CLOCK. —The pacific Laws from Germany and the moderate tone of the President's Mcssage have had a most beneficial Effect oa the price of public stocks. The French Five pl. Cent.

In the sitting of the 7th of the Chamber of Depu ties of Turin, the Minister of the Interior presented a Bill to authorise the Government to collect taxes, and effect the payments of the State, for the two months of December and January ; but the Chamber not being in sufficient number nu discussion was commenced on the subject. Immediately after the passing of this Bill the Chambers are to be prorogued. The Risorgintento of Turin, of the Bth, states that Signor Nierdau, the Piedmontese Minister of Public Instruction, has resigned. HER MAJEST 'S THEATRE. GRAND NATIONAL CONCERTS. The first musical homage to the World's Exhibition of 1851, and to its originator, Prince Albert, was paid last evening by the conductors of the Gland Na. tional Concerts, who, in honour we imagine, of the approaching Industrial Festival of all Nations, pro duced " Tne Great Quadrille of all Nations," com posed expressly for these concerts by Herr Labitzky, and dedicated to his Royal Highness Prince Albert. Never has anything approaching the orchestral strength put forth in the production of this quadrille, been known in this country. In addition to the monster orchestra of the Grand National Con certs, and to the full strength of the English and German choristers, the whole of whom took part in the production of the quadrille by singing the various national anthems, from the harmonization of which the quadrille is formed, there were the band of the First Life Guards (under the direction of Mr. Waddell), the band of the Grenadier Guards (under the direction of Mr. Schott), the band of the Scots Fusilier Guards (under the direction of Boosee), and a corps of military side drums. These various bands were admirably managed ; sometimes we had the whole of them pouring forth a mighty torrent of sound ; then again the voices alone were heard ; again the strain would be token up by a band at the very hack of the stage, behind the scenes, and the distant music thus produced would be echoed as it were from the air by a band located somewhere at the back of the gallery, near the roof of the house, and then again the various bands and voices would join in one grand crash. The effect was sublime. Herr Labitzky managed these various bands with the greatest ease and the most perfect mastery, producing an accuracy and crispness of intonation that we have never heard exceeded. The first figure consisted of a harmonisation of the various national airs of England, lurope, and America. The second the Russian Na tional Hymn, with variations for the flute, performed by Mr. Richardson ; first and second clarionet, performed by MM. Franc and Maycock ; and bassoon, performed by M. Baumann. Third figure, Austrian Hymn, with variations, for the . cornet-k-pistons, performed by M. Ar ban. Fourth figure, "Vive Henri Quatre," and " Yankee Doodle," with variations, for cornet pistons, performed by M. Arban ; oboe, performed by M. Barret ; and piccolo, performed by M. Remusat. The grand finale introduced'' Rule Britannia," " Auld Lang Sync," " St. PatrickPatrick'.Day," " Yankee Doodle," " Viva Henri Quatre,"l the Russian and Austrian Hymns, by the four bands, and the English and German chorus. The various solo players were rapturously applauded and frequently encored, and at hen at the conclusion the whole orchestra struck up " God save the Quren," the enthusiasm was at its height ; the whole house rose, and amidst the waving of hats and handkerchiefs, loud cheers were shouted, which continued until the end of the per formance, when there was a unanitrous call for an encore, and the National Anthem was again repeated, amidst the expressions of the most enthusiastic loyalty on the part of the audience. The Grand National Quadrille is a decided hit, and will prove a great at traction. The house was crowded to excess in every part. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. The successful drama of The Templar was last night followed by a new farce, entitled Betsey Baker; or, Too Attentive by Half. The hero of this piece is Mr. .Mouser (Mr. Keeley), a gentleman in the legal profession, who is so completely devoted to his wife (Miss Murray) that his attentions annoy her. Mr. Crummy (Mr. J. Vining), the wife's cousin, remedies this unpleasant state or things by bribirg Betsey Baker (Mrs. Keeley), a coarse laundry girl, to win Mouser's heart. She unwillingly consents, and FLlC ceetis so well that Mouser, in spite of much resistance, is subdued at last, and actually sends her a letter, which being opened in the establishment of which Betsey is a member, renders him an object of attention to some fifty washerwomen. The wile's jealousy is aroused, arid she is forced to confess that too much attention at home is, after all, better than attention bestowed elsewhere. The expedient of the cousin, on which the plot of this piece depends, is neither very wise nor very ingenious. The story sosne?imes grows unnecessarily improbable, and there is a tendency to dwell too long on each situation. On the other hand, the dialogue is frequently humorous, and, what was far more conducive to the success of the piece, the acting of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley was absolutely per fect. Mrs. Keeley's indignant demand of her pattens, that she may depart, when first she hears the cousin's proposal, and is not yet persuaded to consent, and the gradual thawing of Mr. Keeley's stern morality on hearing that he has mode a compact, are little touches of nature that could not be surpassed. The pair were loudly demanded at the fall of the curtain. ARRIVAL or PIGEON S FROM SIR JOHN ROSS.-- We regretted to Observe that en erroneous account appeared in last week's Glasgow papers regarding the arrival of car rier pigeons at Annan Hill, near Kilmarnock. The facts are these :—On leaving Ayr, Miss Dunlop, of Annan Hill, pre sented Sir John Ross with two pairs of carrier pigeons—an old and a young pair. It was arranged that he should dispatch the young birds when he bad fixed himself in winter quarters, and the old when he fell in with Sir John Franklin. On Sunday, the 13th inst., two str a n ge pi geons were o b serve d flying about the cot at Annan Hill, which, being under repair at the time, was unfortunately shut. Suspicion was excited, and on the following Thursday they were traced to the seat of a neighbouring gentleman, and one was secured. The dove cot contains forty com partmen t s or nests , range d i n d ou bl e tiers of ten each, on opposite aides of the cot, and the bird, on being placed is th e h ouse, at once fl ew i nto i ts c hi nest, a little beyond the centre of the right side row. All those who knew thelpige,,n previously (and the uninitiated have no idea how distinct the personal identity of birds is to those who make them th e i r stu d y ) d ec l are th at th eta i s no t he slightest doubt of.its being one of the young pair pre sented to Sir John. Its wings were ruffled and somewhat torn, showing, very probably, that the dispatch attached to it had worn off in the long and weary flight of somewhere about 2,000 mil es . U n f ortuna t e l y , t h ere fore, there is no written intelligence from the explorers. The other bird has not been caught. We remember of no similar feat being per formed by a pigeon ; but it is not altogether unparalleled in natural history, as the folloVing authentic anecdote will show : One of the Kings of France, while hunting one after noon near Fontairbleau, lost a favourite hawk of a Maltese breed. Next forenoon it was discovered asleep on a tree in Malta at a distance of 1,500 miles, having been brcught from the island hooded. The speed at which it must have flown must have been immense, if we suppose that the bird had obeyed its usual instinct, and rested during the night. The carrier pigeon travels at the rate of from 40 to 60 miles an hour, and is not believed to rest during the night. The above is an incident which must live is the history of the pigeon race, and we give the particulars on the best authority.— A yr Observer. Letters from Buenos Ayres reach to the 6th of September, and from Monte 'Video to the 14th. At the former place the exchange on England was 70s. per doub loon. British manufactures were in demand. The treaty with the French Republic, after having been signed by Ad miral Le Predour and General Oribe, had been dispatched by the Prony steamer to France, which vessel has arrived at Toulon. The French troops had landed at Alonte Video. The last accounts from Algiers state that the cholera continued prevalent, but that there bad not been any remarkable increase of cases. Local affairs were proceeding quietly. The extension of agricultural pursuits was notice able in some quarters of the interior. The Newfoundland papers mention that the potato blight had occasioned serious damage, not only in that place but also in the neighbourhood of Conception Bay. The atten tion of the Government authorities to the subject, it was said, would be immediately necessary, in order that the proper measures might be adopted to provide for the wants of the i poorer classes during the depth of winter. ii - ---- REPAIRS AT THE DIANSION-110 USE .—W e under- I stand that in consequence of the repairs required at the Man sion-house the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress will not take up their abode there until Christmas shall have con cluded. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the Bth lust. have arrived. A Madrid letter, of the &h, says :—" The Cham 13,-r of the Deputies will probably be constituted to day, although some few returns still remain to be verified. Little doubt is entertained of the election of M. Louts MAYANS as Pre'ident, It is stated that the budget is already prepared, and will be imme diately presented to the Chamber. The address in reply to the speech from the Throne will, it is expected, be read to the Senate on Mor day.

The Cologne Gazette publi s h us th e f o ll ow i ng telegraphic dispatches from that city of the above date. " BERLIN, Noy. 12.—According to the latest ac counts, Hanover i said to have protested against the passage or Austrian troops thro ugh her territory t o Hol stein. The situation of sffairs is becoming serious. troops are moving westward, probably to occupy the eastern pro vinces of Austria in case of war." Count BERNSTORFF is seriously indisposed. There were various rumours current in Berlin on the 12th, on the subject of the differences with Austria. According to one Recount a concilia'ory note had been received from Vienna, and the A ustr i an Ambassador had had an interv iew of a sati s f ac t ory character with the KING; according to another rumour war appeared inevitable, and the Austrian Ambassador had demanded his passports. Accounts from Hesse state that the Bavarians were advancing on Cassel on the 11th ; the head -quarters of the Prussians were at Vacha. The Prince of PRUSSIA has arrived at Eisenach to take the c ommand of the troops. Several companies had arrived there by express trains, and had been ordered forward into the Electorate. Several Prussian regiments have been sent from Erfurth to Coburg to prevent the advance of the Austrian troops. A letter from Gotha of the 9th say " The Duke has returned here suddenly, and has gone to Gotba, to prevent any collision between his troops and those of Au str i a . O n th e 6th the frontier of Sax , s- Coburg was occupied by Imperial forces, and the mayors of the different localities were called on to fur ei,h them with provisions and forage for six days. The troops expect orders to proceed to the north. The march of troops towards the duchies still continues. The Austrians are reckoned at 80,000 men and 60 cannons, and considerable reieforcements are ex pected." _ The Kolner Zeitung states, from Csrlsruhe, that the division of Baden among the south German Powers has been agreed upon in the Conference at BrPgenz, _ _ of which it is o Fo utrh regiments ro rthearm of y h: , a li vy av ae c inia a , lry left Vienna on ex pectedthe RADETzKy will take the command.
