CLIANGARNIEM is already devoted to political ex. tinction. After all the boastings of his more vain glorious adherents, after all his own arrogance of de meanour, after predictions of his ultimate supremacy, and aspirations for his advancement to a Dictatorship --CLIANGARNIER is dedicated to a position of the most impotent insignificance. The event has only realised our expectations, as may be conjectured by those who have observed our lucubrations on the Commander-in- Chief of the armies of the Republic. Very recently we t" o ccasion to insist upon the folly of that ex aggerated adulation which a certain class of politi cians in France has latterly offered to General CHANGARNIER. We insisted that the soldier their flatteries were exaltin g into a hero in his own estimation was, in reality, a mere charlatan and a nobody—a person at any moment removable by the stroke of a pen in the hand of the Prince Louis NAPOLEON. The assertion h as within thelastf'w li days been strikingly verified. Th e resolute co pursued by the PRESIDENT with r e f erence to thisres vaunted paladin of the Orleanist-Legitimatist-Social ist conspiracy has dissipated once and for ever those dreams of domination which have hitherto b een c herished in the heart of CHANGARNIER. H av i ng sum moned to his palaceof the Elysiie th e priocip a l leaders of the majority in the Legislature, it will have been observed that LOUI3 NAPOLEON announced to them his irrevocable determina tion to exercise the powers entrusted to him by the Constitution, and among those to dismiss at his pleasure any subaltern officer whose removal might appear to him desirable. Withstanding the blandishments of their rhetoric, resolutely main taining his position against the arguments (in them selves at once specious and persuasive) of some of the most prominent orators in the country, upholding his own views, in defiance of the mingled sophistries and cajoleries of the most subtle di , putants in the de mocracy, the PRESIDENT announced his unalterable resolve to adhere to his originally expressed determi ,,— nation. Insomuch did he impress the minds of his auditors with a conviction that - his intentions upon this trlbj2ct were altogether irrevocable, that, though th em ielves reluctant to accept the declaration, they were, perforce, compelled to declare their opinion that they despaired of its being abandoned. This significant acknowledgment was made imme diately after their return from the ElyEi 3 to the Legislative Assembly, and made, moreover, ex plicitly, in the presence of their brother represen tatives. Tnroughout the whole of the recent contention between the French Legislature and the bead of the French Government, it must be confessed even by the antagonists of the latter that he has acted in every particular in the strictest conformity with the prin ciples embodied in the Constitution. His proceed ings in every instance have been characterized by their entire legality. No one has dared to insinuate from the commencement of the misunderstanding that the Chief Magistrate of the Republic is exercising any other than the most legitimate authority. He is avail ing himself of the constitutional privilege entrusted to him as PRESIDENT of discarding at his option a subordinate official. Such a proceeding is in every way consonant with his peculiar prerogatives, and those prerogatives he has declared himself ready to maintain intact against all the contrivances of in trigue and all the assaults of opposition. Dismay, and not only dismay bat irritation, has followed the announcement of this very bold but reasonable re solve, and the bitterest among the antagonists of the policy thus adventured upon by Louis NAPOLEON are the very last individuals who should in decency have revealed sentiments inimical to the design, namely, the leaders of the majority in the Legislature. To those identical men, the PRESIDENT has himself over and over again proffered the glorious responsibility of forming an Administration. Each in turn, actu ated by a miserable feeling of pusillanimity, has re fused the boon placed at his disposal—unwilling to commit himself and his fortunes to the perils of a crisis in the Republican Government. Availing himself of the courage and ability of those able and conscientious statesmen who have consented at all hazards to, assume the dangers of administration, Louis NAPOLEON, on the 9th of this present January, formed a Cabinet which promises to release him from his hitherto anomalous position. Several mem bers of the last Ministry, distinguished by their skill as much as by their valour, have been retained in office, and other ad ministrators remarkable by their many splendid ante cedents have been chosen as their colleagues. As chief in the Foreign Department, for example, M. DROUTN DE Luurs has been with admirable tact selected out of the whole mass of diplomatists as per haps the ablest Minister that could by possibility have been nominated. Over the administration of the affairs of the War Department, again, has been placed an officer of the most high and unimpeachable cha racter. Added to all which the new Cabinet possesses a merit latterly unknown to the successive Governments of the French Democracy, It enters upon its career with a distinct and explicit policy—a policy clearly defined and boldly enun ciated—a policy based upon lofty and chivalric principles, conceived in magnanimity and inaugurated with decision. Immediately upon the formation of the Government the vigour of its character became manifest in the damp copy of the Moniteur, , which came upon the Parisian multitude simultaneously with the announcement of the newly-constituted ' Cabinet. In that official organ the first act of the Ministry appeared in legible characters—an act neither partial nor timorous, like so many of its predecessors, but, on the contrary, distinguished by its vigour and determination. With that stroke of a pen which we ourselves several weeks since spoke of as possible, and not merely as possible, but as probable— the military and almost dictatorial power of General CHATIGARMBR was annihilated. The staff of authority wielded of late by that soldier with such consummate arrogance has been broken asunder. His power, so long hanging like a night mare over the diseased imagination of certain classes of the people, has been wholly and entirely dissipated. And this, after all the fanfarronades indulged in by the adherents of the discarded Commander-in- Chief! This, forsooth, is the man who was to have shivered to atoms the wand of popularity hitherto grasped in the hand of the PRINCE-PRESIDENT ! Nothing could have been more admirable throughout than the conduct of that illustrious personage under the late perilous crisis in which he was recently placed —the imperturbable calmness of his demeanour, the ir resistible decision of his proceedings, and the un fl4gging confidence evinced by him in his own energies having effectually crushed down every obstruction in his pathway. Hitherto he has presided over the destinies of the Republic under the pressure of the most anomalous circumstances. From these he bas at length entirely emancipated himself, and we may therefore now look with some degree of hope to the future phases of bis Presidency. The Annus Mirabilis, the year of the great Ex hibition, has commenced. We have sent out cards of invitation to the inhabitants of all nations to pay us a friendly visit. We have intimated that we shall be " at home " to all corners, and it behoves us " to set our house i❑ order," and so to arrange matters that we may not excite the contempt and ridicule of our guests. We have already indicated several nui sances sufficiently annoying at any time, and under any circumstances, but which (if suffered to con tinue in unabated virulence) will be absolutely in tolerable when we become " the observed of all ob servers," and myriads of strangers are looking to every thing that can reflect either credit or shame on Old England. If we would merit the repu tation of attentive and' hospitable hosts ; if we would gain the good will and respect of our visitants, we must not only provide Er their comforts to the best of our abilities, and enable them to inspect our great national monuments without being stopped at the very threshola until some paltry fee has been ex tracted from their pockets, but we must exercise the utmost vigilance to guard them against the numerous petty impositions to which the inhabitants of the metropolis and its vicinity are every day exposed. The tricks and evasions of the " omnibus conductors," who now form a numerous and well organized body, must be sternly repressed, and any attempt at extortion or deception, or any insolence or impertinence must be closely watched and stringently punished. It is said that there is a large fund from which all fines that may be inflicted are defrayed, and that the parties, therefore, regard any pecuniary fine as a matter of perfect indifference, not to be thought of for a single moment. If they indulge in such practices with respect to persons well acquainted with all the rules and regulations relating to omnibus traffic, and able to come forward before magistrates to ensure their convictions, what may we not look for at their hands, when the victims are foreigners, not understanding our language, and every moment of whose time will be too fully occupied in sight seeing to devote a day to dancing attendance at the metropolitan police-offices ? A case heard before Mr. BURNELL at the West minster Police-court, on Thursday, in which the delinquent altogether evaded the consequences of his most improper conduct, affords a powerful illustra tion of the evils of the system recently introduced among the fraternity, and the mode by which they continue to defeat those who have sufficient energy to follow up the matter, by summoning the offender before a magistrate. It appeared that a gentleman, named FENTON, residing at Chelsea, had on the evening of the Ist instant hailed a Chelsea omnibus in St. Paul's Churchyard. Before taking a seat, he inquired of the conductor whether it went to Battersea-bridge or Beaufort-street, and was answered in the affirmative. Knowing, however, that several of his friends had been recently duped by being set down witheut being carried to their place of destina tion, and in order to make assurance doubly sure, he looked to the omnibus itself, and found the words " Battersea•brigge" exhibited on the centre panel. He therefore entered the vehicle, but, to his astonish ment, when he arrived at Church-street it stopped' and the conduetcr opened the door, saying, " Here you are, sir, this is it," and immediately afterwards " Battersea-bridge, sir." Mr. FENTON was not, however, to be token in ; he told the conductor that he knew the locality too well to be persuaded that that was Battersea-bridge, when the other obse rve d, that " he was close to it," and th a t " the omnibus stopped there." Mr. FENTON was accord ingly obliged to get out; but, with a laudable anxiety to punish so great :a n d unwarrantable an imposition, he took out a sum mons against the party, which, according to the usual course, was served upon the proprietor of the vehicle, who was thereby required . to produce the conductor who on the night in question was the wearer of the badge No. 227. On the hearing the worthy magistrate stopped the case, considering that the deception had been practised in the City, which was out of his jurisdic tion. He, therefore, dismissed:the charge, and inti mated that a new summons must be taken out in the City. As, however, the seven days, which, it appears, constitutes the " statute of limitations" in the cab and omnibus code bad ex pired, the charge was dismissed, and the complainant left without remedy. Now, with the greatest respect for Mr. BUERELL, we would say that the offence was not complete until the omnibus stopped, and the con ductor had refused to take him forward to his desti nation. Battersea-bridge was painted on the panel as one of the stages of the journey. The conductor, it being probably his last trip for the evening, wa s anxious to abridge his own trouble, and therefore com pelled him to get out at Church-street. It therefore ap pears to follow, we say, that it was at that point the of fence was committed. He'stated at St. Paul's Church yard that he would go to Battersea-bridge—that was the regular journey—but he chose to shorten it, and to stop at Church-street, and it was at that point that the offence was committed, and the case was therefore within the jurisdiction of the magistrate. The other point was, however, of far greater im portance. It was stated that it could be shown that the party " produced by the proprietor" as the wearer of the badge on the night in question, was at a considerable distance at the time sworn to by the complainant, or, in other words, that a clear aliki could be established. Mr. FENTON at once declared that the actual offender had been in court listening to the case a few minutes previously, but that the badge 227 was unquestionably that worn by him, and not by BAITER, the man who appeared to answer the sum mons. Now this is a deception of a more serious character, and if it can be practised with impunity, and badges interchanged at pleasure, the worthy fraternity can set the law at defiance, and defraud their passengers with impunity. The party who had once been guilty of such an offence should for ever be disqualified from acting as a conductor. We trust, therefore, that measures may be adopted to prevent such a de fence from being again set up. If the existing laws are not sufficient for that purpose, we are quite con vinced that the Legislature will readily afford any further powers that may be required to put an end to such nefarious transactions. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1851. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and of yesterday. In our Third Edition of Saturday we published a report of the debate on M. DE REMUSAT'S motion for a Committee of Inquiry, which ended in the defeat of the new Ministry by a majority of 57. Immediately after the vote of the Assembly, the representatives withdrew to their bureaux, where in general the dis cussion was not of any great length. The 4th, 6th, and 10th bureaux, not having named their members to the Committee at half •past six, adjourned the pro ceedings to Saturday. In the Ist bureau, M. Bixto declared that the explanations of the Mi nistry ought to be more complete; be con ceived that all the reasons which led to General CBANGARNIER'S dismissal had not been disclosed ; he thought, however, that it was advisable to have per fect harmony and a good understanding restored if possible. M. Bum was appointed to the Committee by 31 votes to 14 given to M. LIIERBETTE, In the 2d bureau M. BAZE obtained 20 votes to 18 given to M. BEUGNOT. In the 3d, General CAVAIGNAC ob tained 22 votes to 18 given to M. DE REMUSAT (on a third ballot). sth. M. MONTEBELLO was named in favour of the proposition. 7th. M. PAM-, who spoke against the Ministry, but without wishing to proceed to extremes, was nominated by 21 to 17 given to M. Ducoux. Bth. M. Gus- TATE DE BEAUMONT, in favour of the proposition, was appointed. 9th. M. DARU, opposed to the pro position, was named. 11th. M. NETTEMENT, for the proposition, was appointed by twenty-six votes to seventeen given to M. BAUCHART. 12th. M. LAN JUINAIS, for the proposition, was named. 13th. M. MORELLET was nominated by twenty-three votes to nineteen given to M. J. DE LASTEYRIE. M. MOREL LET thought complete explanations were due on every point, and even on the rumoured presence of the Princes of the Orleans family at Versailles. 14th. M. DE MoaliAr, for the proposition, was named by twenty-two votes to eighteen given to M. LACROSSE. 15th. M. DE LAMARTINE, in favour of the Ministry, was nominated by twenty-five votes to sixteen given to General BEDEAU. The most remarkable speech delivered in the Bureaux was that of M. TRIERS. He declared his adhesion to the Republican form of Government, and his determination to oppose any Government that should endeavour to establish itself in opposition to the Rupublic. M. THEIRS defied any one to restore absolute power in France. If NAPOLEON rose from his grave, he could not do it. " I went to Claremont," he said, "for I am at liberty to keep my souvenirs and my attachments, but I never deceived any one. The gentlemen of the Left can pay visits to M. Louis BLANC or M. LEDRU-ROLLIN. There is nothing to prevent them. But Ido not wish to see disrespect shown to the Assembly." In the opinion of M. TRIERS, the Act which now occupied the Assembly was of the most serious importance ; the Assembly could not remain silent without risking dishonour for the future. It had suffered much to pass, but there were limits which it ought to insist upon ; the dis missal of General CHANGARNIER aggravated too much the political situation. M. TRIERS is of opinion that the Commission should be at the same time firm and moderate. It is evident from this that M. TRIERS does not deem it prudent to go quite so far as his alter ego M. DE REMUSAT, and it is a somewhat significant fact that neither M. DE REMUSAT nor M. DUFAURE have been chosen members of the Committee. The Committee assembled on Saturday morning, and elected M. DE BROGLIE as President, and on the meeting of the Assembly M. DE BROGLIE applied f,r the communication to the Committee of the procu verbaux of the Committee of Permanent:'; whereupon M. 13AitociiE demanded nut only the communication of the procis verbaux but their publication, sarcasti cally remarking, " had been said yesterday that the Assembly had had the generosity not to publish the procis verbaux ; the Government demanded the concurrence of all members of the Assembly, but it did not stand in need of the generosity of any." Hereupon M. BAZE rose, it was supposed, for the purpose of opposing the addition proposd, but rage so choked his utterance, that he was only able to give utterance to inarticulate sounds, while he vented his fury by indulging in the most animated gesti culations. The publication, as well as the production, of the procie verbaux was then ordered without a division. It is evident, therefore, that, as we said a few days since would be the case, all parties must now make a clean breast of it, and the safety of the Republic will be secured in consequence. M. JULES DE LASTEYRIE, the most inveterate of the Orleanists, who,left the Committee of Permanence,'to proceed with hot speed to Claremont, for what pur pose must be sufficiently obvious, has given us an inkling of what we may expect to find in these procit.g verbattai he said— " He, for his part, would not oppose the publication of these minutes, but he could then say they would not find there what they expected. The facts are only set down in a very summary way; the Commission had not had the benefit of shorthand reporters. However, public opinion would be enlightened on three points;-Ist, With regard to the Society of 10th December, which M. Baroche pretended was a charitable association, and of the meetings of the Society St. Vincent de Paul, which the Minister soon after dissolved without prose cuting; 2d. The reviews at Satory; and, 3d, With re gard to the dismissal of General Neumayer, concerning which the Minister of War had refused to give any sa tisfaction, while M. Baroche pledged himself that he would not, while Minister, be a party to the dismissal of General Changarnier." The Republicans have, in general, observed a strict neutrality. On the division on Friday 93 of them abstained from voting, and should the Committee propose a resolution laudatory Of CHANGARNIER, or expressing confidence in him, the Republicans will vote against it to a man. M. TRIERS made over tures to them, which were rejected, with a declaration that no overtures from such a quarter would be en tertained until universal suffrage should be restored, by a repeal of the Electoral Law of 31st May. General CHANGARNIER has left the Tuileries, and now occupies a lodging in the Rue St. Honore. It is now nearly certain that the Assembly will not have recourse to any measures for placing him again at the head of a body of troops. The Ministers were again defeated on Saturday on the Algiers Bill ; the Ministers wished the third reading to be postponed, but M. DUPAURE insisted on preesiog forward the Bill, which was adopted by 563 to 112. M. DE LAMAETINE has declared in favour of the PRESIDENT, with H horn he had a long interview on Saturday. Great irritation against the Burgraves exists both in Paris and the departments, while the PRESIDENT seems to be popular. The Patrie says:— " The President of the Republic, on Saturday, in plain clothes, and accompanied by only one orderly officer, took a ride on horseback a l o n g the q ua y s, the Rue :Montmartre, and Boulevards. He everywhere met with marks of most lively sympathy. Numerous eries of Vive Napoleon! ' mixed with other expreisions, testifying the spontaneous adhesion of the people to the attitude assumed by the President of the Republic, were uttered as he proceeded. Never did he meet with a more warm receptionli The Pays says that when in the Quartier of the Halle the PIum)ENT was surrounded by several workmen, who held out their hands to him, which he shook in the heartiest manner. - - The &lcle gives the following account of the PRE SIDENT'S promenade : " M. Louis Napoleon on Saturday, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, took a ride on horseback through Paris; he was followed by the same two servants in green livery that he had with him on Sunday last. M. Louis Napoleon went as f:r as the Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle, rode through the Rue Mont matre, by the Pointe St. Eustache, along the Rue St. Hono►i, and returned by the Rue de la Paix and the Boulevard do la Madeleine to the Elytio. The presence of M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte gave rise to no mani festation. Some cries of ' Vive le President!' were heard only in the Rue St. Honor e; in the boulevards there v. ere some salutations; but in the streets the people showed perfect tranquillity." In speaking of the crisis the journals of the Elys4-., with the exception of the Pouvoir, which calls for action, observe the utmost reserve, whilst those of the Burgraves, although at no pains to dissemble their excessive wrath, shrink from the adoption of any thing like violent measures. Thus the Journal des Debats says :-- " Our opinion is that to the fault of the President, grave as it is, the reply of other faults ought not to be given; and it would be one on the part of the Chamber to compromise, by inopportune measures, the peace of the country, military discipline, and the little confidence and order which remain to us." The Legitimatist Opinion Publique declares that M. Louts BONAPARTE has destroyed in a day the work of two years, has divorced with his past ; he has dissolved the alliance of the Executive Government and the Legislative power; he has cast disorder into the midst of the majority. The Republique has the following just appreciation of the consequences of the dismissal of CHANGAN MEE : " The dismissal of General Changarnier, inserted yesterday in the Moniteur, may be considered as the death-blow of Royalism. It is not that henceforth M. Berryer will not be at liberty to ascend the tribune and make known officially to the country the programme of Wiesbaden, or that M. Thiers may not make a speech in fevour of the Regency, but at least these honourable agents of the monarchial candi dates will not have any longer any other means but this of serving them. They are formed to quit the caverns of intrigue and act in the face of day ; and for their party publicity is death. Doubtless it was convenient to be at one and the same time the ad visers of the Elysee and the agent of Wiesbaden and of Claremont ; to exclaim from the tribune that the Republic is the Government that divides us the least,' and to go from thence to whisper a monarchical intrigue with the all powerful General, publicly saluted by M. Guizot as the mouth of the future re storation. There is an end of all coups de main and mi litary ambushes, in which the Republic was to have perished; there is an end of the double or triple-faced part in which the veterans of intrigue had played; the mask has fallen. Struck in their complicity, the But graves have only to resign themselves to their defeat, or to publicly raise the standard of their conviction, if by chance they have any left. Not being able any longer to reckon on a military pronuaciamento, they have only laic to them the resource of addressing themselves to the sense of the country. On that ground we do not fear them." The Republicans observe a strict neutrality. The National declares that all the Alembers of the Left are convinced of the necessity of union, and adds— "To profit by the faults of our adversaries, to keep them in check by each other, and to save the Republic in the midst of the disputes of the Monarchical factions, such is the part allotted to our friends." The National of Saturday publishes the following notice :-- " The Representatives of the People, members of the Democratic Opposition, to whatever shade of opinion they belong, will Dileot to-morrow (Sunday) at Lamar delay's, Rue Richelieu. Every Representative will feel the imperious necessity of attending under existing cir cumstances." The Slide states that General LAHITTE will be appointed Ambassador to England. The Bourse was extremely animated on Saturday, and the great majority of the speculators expressed a decided opinion in favour of the course pursued by the PRESIDENT of the Republic during the late Mi nisterial crisis. The Five per Cents. opened at 94f. 10c., fell to 93f. 95c., and rose subsequently to 94f. 50c., at which price they closed ; the Three per Cents. closed at 56f. 55c. ; the New Loan at 94f. 15c. ; Orleans Railroad Shares, 842 f. 50c.; Rouen, 6751. ; Avignon, 185 f • Basle, 137 f. 50c.; Paris and Stras burg, 3501.; Tours and Nantes, 2451.

The Berlin Constitutionnelle Zeitung has the fol lowing on the Dresden con:erences:— " The Central Power is to consist of seven agents faeforenz) and nine votes. Two of these agents are Austrian and Prussian, with two votes each. The other States will come in for the five remaining votes. The Executive Power, and in exceptional cases the Legis lative Power also, will belong to this Council of States. The Legislative body, consisting of the ' Plenum' of the Princes, and free towns of Germany, will assemble once a year." It is further stated that when this proposal was submitted to the Committee, Bavaria assented to it, under the condition of her claim to one vote being allowed. That claim was allowed by Austria and Prussia, but Saxony, Hanover, and Wurtemberg claimed a vote each, and but one vote was left for the rest of the smaller states. This circumstance caused, of course, a most violent opposition. A letter from Cassel of the 6th says— _ "Our situation is truly frightful. For several days past we know nothing of what is passing abroad, for the soldiers seize all the public j•iurnals, and now they are not allowed to pass through the post ii.tu this city. Yes terday morning General Leieingen issued a df cree al lowing the journals hitherto suppressed to be published, with the exception of iour, which are named. The police, supported by soldiers, are searching for arms the houses of those citizens who have not given them up. They do not even leave the officers their swoids." The Council has consented to accept the ELECTOR'S decrees of September. The Zollverein Congress will recommence their sittipgs on the 15th at Wiesbaden. The Austrian troops have entered Hanover en route to Holstein. They were received at Gottingen with hisses and execrations. _ _ Accounts from Vienna confirm the report of the death of General BEM. The gallant veteran expired on the 11th, at Aleppo. There has been a serious outbreak among Jella chich's Croatians. At Fiume they have pulled down the Austrian fag and hoisted the Croatian banner. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. Private letters from Kiel state that the Austrian Commissioner has offered the following conditions for the acceptance of the Stadtholders. Two-thirds of the Holstein army is to be disbanded, and the remainder is to withdraw across the Eyder. The Danes, on the other hand, shall be bound to reduce their army, but they shall be at liberty to occupy any part of the Duchy of Schleswig, and even the works which they have constructed at Rendsburg. The Diet is to be dissolved ; the Stadtholder will remain in office until the current business has been transmitted to two German Commissioners and one Danish agent. Austria cannot offer any guarantee for the libera tion of the prisoners now at Copenhagen, or for an amnesty which may be granted to the fugitive inha bitants of Schleswig. The Holstein Diet held a secret sitting on the 10th inst. The debate continued all night, and the House adjourned at 4 30 on the morning of Sa turday. They resolved to instruct the Stadtholders to ac cede to the demands of the Commissioners, provided the Commissioners consented to the occupation of Rendsburg and Freidcricksort by Holstein troops. The numbers were 43 yeas and 26 noes. It is with the utmost regret that we have to an nounce the demise of the Viscount da Torre de Moncorvo, who has so worthily filled for many years the important office of her Most Faithful Majesty's Minister at this Court, with the entire approbation of his Sovereign and country, to whom he has rendered most valuable services, and to the grief of all those who had the pleasure of knowing him in England. This melancholy event occurred at a few minutes past noon on Saturday, the 11th instant. Young persons are apt to tell what secrets they know, from the vanity they feel in having been trusted. — Elias Cook's Journal. CITY I M PROVEMENTS.---The AM thoroughfare by way of Cannon-street is being rapidly proceeded with. The committee, we understand, have determined that the houses shall be all cleared away, and the street be paved through by the coming May-day, which, it is to be expected, will stand in history in opposition to the " Evil May-day" of 1517," as the " Good May-day" of 1851.

It is mentioned that, " The aggregate value of foreign dry goods put upon the marker, durinc , the week, was only 271,920 dolls. This is a fivourabre feature in this trade, and will enable us to provide better for a large importation in the spring. The impression is gaining ground that the spring importation will be comparatively limited. Much depends upon the position of affairs in Europe, and upon the movements in Congress in relation to our commercial system. I: is expected that some changes will be made, during this session of Congress, in the Tariff Act of 1846, but it is our impression that no alteration will be made." It appears by the news from Central America that Nicaragua has declared war against Costa Rica, and sent troops to occupy the department of Guanacoste, which has been in litigation between those two repub lics. The Government of Costa Rica had taken measures accordingly, and sent to Guanacoste a Ger man officer, who was lately in the service of the King of Prussia, to act in its behalf. General Guiros, who took a prominent part in the revolution against Gene rals Flores and Castro, and who was exiled, was on board of a ship anchored at Punta Arenas, and destined to Nicaragua. The partisans of Castro were preparing a movement at Costa Rica, and a revolution was ex pected on the arrival of General Castro, who, at the appeal of his partizans, sailed from London, and was expected at Costa Rica during this mouth. General Guiros was expected in Nicaragua to take a part in the war against Costa Rica. The coffee crop is very good, and prices were set at 7 dollars, the highest for several years. From Curacao, it is stated, under date of the 10th ult., that the market is well stocked with foreign and domestic produce. Under date of the 22d ultimo, from Havannah, we are informed that—" The change, in our duties to which we made some allusion a short time ago, will take place as was expected. There will be an increase of 1-1 per cent. on the per-tentage charged on all imports, com mencing on Ist February, for North America, and on Ist April, Europe, &c. On Spanish imports (except Flour, which will pay 2c. more) there will be an ad dition of 1 per cent. The alteration of the export duty begins on the Ist of next month, and comprises an in crease of 4 rs. per box on sugar; 2 rs. per ql. on to bacco, 2rs. per M oa segars, the balance being reckoned on the aggregate duties. This alteration remains in force for two years. A few boxes new segars have arrived, at 7a 7i for ordinary yellow. 71 rs. have been repaid for a leer boxes fair yellow." By a fast sailing clipper advices of the 22d ult. have been received from Brazil. Trade was not very brisk, but there was a hope of a better season in 1851. The question as to the holding of high 'Change at half-past three will be taken into consideration by the Gresham Committee next Friday at two o'clock, and the merchants are invited to attend, and state their views, as some may possibly object. The large majority acquiesce. The English Funds have been better this morning, but there is not any great activity. Consols have been 9611 for transfer, and 96i for the settling day, sho w ing ,rather a Bull accouut. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have realised 981 to 99, and the 'Three per Cents. 97i f.

Shares are at about previous rates. La reference to the dividend on the Great North of England purchase shares, a representation was made from the Stock Exchange Railway Department, of which the following is an extract:— " I fear, however, the proposed plan is calculated to occasion considerable trouble, as you will, in fact, close the books twice for the same shares. Where the shares are 131. or more, paid up, and the 81. has been detached, I see no difficulty; but where, as in the majority of cases, the shares stand with 91. paid up, and, of course, undi vided, we think a simpler and better course would have been to give the guaranteed, as well as the non-guaran teed, dividend, to parties on the books at the ordinary closing, &c." In reference to this representation the matter was brought before the directors, who instructed the secre tary to write the following letter. dated the 4th inst.:— ' I have laid before the board of directors your letter of the 27th ult., and in consideration of the representa tion which you have been directed to make, lam de sired to say that the directors will accede to the wish expressed by the Stock Exchange, and that the dividend upo❑ the guaranteed portion of the Great North of Eng land purchase shares will be paid at the some time as th e general dividend of the company. The dividend, therefore, for all the shares of tits company for the half year ending 31st December, 11150, will be paid to those shareholders who are on the register when the company's books see closed, prior to the half-yearly meeting."

MARKET NEWS.--(THIS CORN EXCHANGE.--MONDA Y ' Our provincial lotters state that the Wheat trade..°- Saturday, was in a very depressed state; at dro o l? currencies for all samples except -the very fitiaet. best Barley commanded previous rates; but other kinds were lower to purchase. In all other deecriOjan ° spring Corn next to nothing was doing. A fair bils ness was passing in Flour. Advices from New York to the 31st ult. are to till° effect that the demand for both Grain and Flour O r e shipment to England had fallen off. In France a loge business had been done in Wheat and Flour on gag ta account; but most of the other continental market s To dull. 101 The arrivals of English Grain up to our market week were small. From abroad we received 8, 111 „ 61 %, ters of Wheat, 3,345 Barley, 7,266 Oats, 1,640 pe:01; 724 Peas, 1,132 Tares, 1,475 Linseed, 3,089 Repo se 100 sundry seeds, 8,988 sacks and 3,694 barrels Flour;_es The quantity f English Wheat fresh up to our inerti.re, to-day coastwise from Essex, Kent, Cambridge s4l ,o Suffolk, Sec., was comparatively small, and grea tl y il of condition, arising from the prevailing damp, and eis, seasonable weather. By land carriage a few pere abe " about 300 quarters, came to hand from 'of Midland districts.'
