An attempt is again being made to establish steam communication between the Sandwich Islands and San Francisco, and the first steamer is expected to be placed upon the route in about a month. The weather, throughout O regon an d U pper and Lower California, is delightful. The north-west wind has completely died away, and nature never wore a more smiling aspect under an Italian sky. The agricultu ral, mining, mechanical, and commercial interests are in the full tide of prosperous career. Mechanics readily obtain steady employment at 8 dolls. per day, and com mon labourers 5 dolls.; and, from the large number of buildings in progress, it is probable they will be all en gaged for the next six months.

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 month!, 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 phonid make every possible inquiry relative to the state of the country, the tenure of land, the com parative merits of the different quartz veins in the several districts of California, and after mature deliberation to advise the Directors as to their best course of proceeding, 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 possess e t 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 veins in the Mariposa, Nevada, Grass Valley, and other districts, and has come to the conclusion, upon sound reasons, that the vicinity of Grass Valley and Nevada City, is that which affords the greatest advantages for car rying on our enterprise. He has, therefore, entered into an agree ment with some American gentlemen, who have formed a company, and have opened, and, to a considerable extent, worked a vein of quartz, distant 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 openeemud hed by them. By means of machinery, he has a 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 oilers 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 thi s : he is to be supplied by them with as much quartz as his machinery shall be found 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 grid produced is to be divided equally between the owners of the vein and our Company. Formal and legal agreements for carrying cut 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 fends 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. For 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 promine nt advantages possessed by this pany over others now in the field. Shareholders ire other Companies must mainly rely upon reports s ent over by persons interested in selling the mine; we rely upon the reports of our own resident Director and his practical assistants on the spot, 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 ripen 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 out miniug operations open their vein, before the quartz arrives at their mill, and, should their labours prove succes sful, the y must then pay out of their profits large per-centages for obtaining their leases, and large royal ties to their lessors ; whereas we have 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-centa.ge or royalty. The half of the produce to be paid by this Company to the parties who supply us, free of expense, with the quartz, being in fact merel equivalent to the dividend upon the outlay of capital ex pended y in raising the quartz, and lodging it at the mill. All the new coanies, unlike this, must be a considerable time their arrangements and mac hinery can be ready for carrying before 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 which we are now working yields upon an average 4d. per pound, or 11. 17s. 4d. per cwt., or 371. 65. Sd. per ton; and, as we can crush and amalgamate at least 20 tons per diem, that would amount to 7461. 13s. 4d., or 3731. 6s. Sd. per diem as the share of this Company. By the peculiar arrangements t his Company has made, based upon practical 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 leave voluntarily retendered him their services. The gentlemen who formed the Provisional Committee of this Company, have added to their number several gentlemen possessing the acquaintance and entire confidence of a very large body of Shareholders in the provincial districts. To add such men to the Directory was due to those Shareholders who have in fact estab lished and nobly supported this Company. Measures will be taken for further augmenting the Directory, and a Special General Meet ing of the Shareholders will be convened for the middle of January. In conclusion, the Directors beg offer their best thanks to the Sh a r e holders for the unifor m support to they have received, and they pledge themselves that the affairs of this with the Companysole shall bo c foron - ducted with the most rig id economy, and w of warding the interest of the Shareholders. The Directors beg to call the attention of Shareholders particularly to the fact that, from the s y stem adopted by this Company, t c not be affected by the question now agitated between the holders of leases and Colonel Fremont or his agents. The district selected for the operations of this Company is far removed from the tract claimed by Colonel Fremont. The difficulty arising out of the many points now raised relative to the tenure of land under leases, had been long known to and was maturely considered by those leaving the control of the affairs of this Company, and was one of the reasons which in duced them to pursue for the present the course they have, and not to incur certain heavy expenses with doubtful resultsof the prudence The Directors trust that Shareholder s will approve of the course they have adopted. Prospectuses ,may be had upon application at the offices of the Company. THE DETERMINED ATionTACKthat ON crisis LOUIS NAPOLEON.—There is no quest but a is now near at hand, and that one of three important parties will shortly be settled as dominant in France — the Red R e p ublicans, the Legitima tists, or the friends of the present Government. The attacks made in the Assembly on the Government of Louis 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 loggerhads abut clothing the Assembly or the Government with power, we e on this o side of the Channel are thinking about clothing ourselves ; and the best opportunity in the world presents itself, for the unique stock of Messrs.

MR.

The Cellar, the Kitchen, the Ice-house, and the whole of the lower offices are particularly constructed foe most extensive work with ease and economy. The adjoining House is in itself a complete little Tavern, with every accommodation, two sitting-rooms, coffee-room, and bed rooms ; attached is the range of superior stabling, coach-house, yard, and loose-boxes ; also the well-arranged Lanndry and Cottage, re plete with every convenience to supply any quantity of business, and the profitable and very productive kitchen•garden, full of every necessary for the supply of the Hotel, with extensive and high walls covered with the most rare Fruit Trees, principally imported from the Continent. The Farm-yard is very judiciously disposed, and the whale of this part of the property, which covers about 2 acres, could be well tenanted separately, having a great number of offices and dwelling rooms. The Lease is for 21 years from Midsummer, 1846, the tenant only having power to determine the same at the first 5 or 10 years ; and the tenant, in consideration of the great amount spent by him in improvements and repairs, has a further power reserved to him to purchase the lessor's interest, which is equal VI Freehold, being held at the nominal ground rent of 6d. per year, at the stipulated sum of 7,0001. It is also declared that the fixtures, fittings up, trees, and shrubs, plants, plantations, and lawns, belong to the tenant, and that he shall be at liberty to sell or remove the same, or to do what ever he may think fit and best for his interest, the whole being his absolute property. Mr. Robins purposely abstains from any panegyric on the well known extent of business done and money taken ; he will only state that an industrious person, acquainted with the trade, taking the Royal Hotel on the terms he is prepared to accept, cannot fail to realize a handsome fortune in a few years. - • • Every information may be obtained on application to Mr. Robins, of Covent-garden, who is fully instructed by Mr. Dotesio to treat for the whole, complete as it now is in every department.

PROMOTIONS FOR ARCTIC SERVICE. The following promotions for service in Captain Aus tin's late Arctic expedition have been made, The com missions aro dated back to Oct, 11,1851 : Lieutonants—R. D. Aldrech (1842), late first of the Resolute; J. B. Cator (1842), late in command of the screw-tender Intrepid; and F. G. M'Clintoch (1845), late first lieutenant of the Assistance—to the rank of commanders. Mates—R. F. Hamilton (1850), L. L. May (1850), and J. P. P. Cheyne (1850)—to be lieutenants. Second Masters—F. J.

Harrison (1844), to be paymaster and purser. Captain Austin, C. 8., is to have some home appoint ment; and Captain Ommanney, as we announced yester day, has been rewarded with the deputy comptroller ship of the coast guard. We are surprised to find that Lieutenant Osborne has not been included in the list of promotions. It was ge nerally expected that the great zeal, ability; and enter prise, which he displayed, would have been j ustl y re warded with promotion. It now remains to be seen how Mr. Allen, the master, and other officers of the squadron, are to bo rewarded. APPOINTMENTS. Commander —George Hancock (1850), to the London, 92, at Sheerness. Lieutenants —Ennis Chambers, flag-lieutenant to the Britannia, 120; F. A. Close, to the Blenheim screw ship, Portsmouth; T. H. M. Martin, to the Fury steam sloop, Woolwich. Masters—C. T. A.

Hollinworth, to the Fury. Clerk—A. H. Martin, to the Fury. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The Havannah, 19, Captain Erskine, sailed for Plymouth this morning to pay off, as we stated yesterday. She landed her small freight of native Australian gold yesterday, which was forwarded to London by Messrs. Emanuel, of Portsmouth, freight agents. There is, we understand, another small freight expected home in the barque Baadices; she has one lump of native gold on board that weighs 1051 b. The officers and crew of the Acheron that came home in the Havannah have been transferred to the Victory. The Rapid is still at Spithead, waiting orders; she has been paid advance. The Britannia, 120, has this day hoisted the pendant as flag-ship of the Commander-in-Chief elect of the Me diterranean. The flag of Rear-Admiral Prescott, C. 8.. was at the same time transferred from her mitten to that of the Illustrious, 72, which until lately carried it, where it will remain until the Neptune, 120, is ready to receive it. The Neptune was also commissioned this day by Captain Yates, late of the Britannia, which will be docked, if possible, to - morro w, to be over hauled. The Birkenhead steam-frigate, Master-Commander Salmond, is reported in the offing, from Sheerness, with the officers and men of the Waterloo, for the Britannia. The Rodney, 92, Captain Charles Graham, C. 8., has received her crew and hauled off from the Blake hulk over to the Gosport shore, to make room for the Bri tannia's people. PLYMOUTH, DEC. s.—Her Majesty's sloop Flying Fish, Commander George E. Patey, arrived here yester day afternoon, after a splendid passage only of 29 days, from Ascension, having left on the sth tilt. The steam frigates Cyclops, Retribution, and Sidon, from the Cape of Good Hope, were coaling at the island, on their pas sage home. Mr. Pennal, late secretary to the Governor of St. Helena, was on board the Sidon, which had also some military invalids and condemned stores from the Cape. Captain Hutton, Governor of Ascension, was to come home in the Retribution, having been superseded by Captain Kitchen, who went out in the Virago. The English merchant brig Pink, laden with guano, was wrecked on the 4th of November on the south-east side of Ascension. Crew saved. Her Majesty's ships Penelope, Sampson, Gladiator, Archer, Niger, Waterwitch, Alecto, and Prometheus, as sembled on the 22d of October, at Cape Lopez, for the purpose of trying by court-martial Mr. Russel, chief engineer of the Prometheus, who was dismissed the ser vice for drunkenness. When the Flying Fish was leaving Cape Lopez on the 24th of October she saw Commodore Brace and the Niger under way to join the squadron for resumption of their various cruising grounds. The present disposition of the squadron is as follows : —On the north coast—Sealark, Firefly, Dolphin, Spy, and Alecto; in the Bight, Samson, Waterwitch, Niger, Harlequin and Volcano; and on the south coast, the Gladiator, Prometheus, Archer, Wasp, and Hound. The squadron was in good general health. The Jackall on the 22d of October left the Commo dore for Sierra Leone with mails. Commanders lichee) and Forbes, and Lieutenant Bond, had joined the Penelope, The Waterwitch had taken from Sierra Loon to Capo Coast Castle Major Hill, the newly appointed Governor of the Gold Coast. The slave trade is, so to speak, abolished. The last prize taken by the Flying Fish was in July, and since then only one vessel, an empty felucca, has been cap tured; she was captured by the Samson. Vessels having tho aprearance of slavers are boarded, but though they are furhished with ring bolts and other equipments required for the purpose of slaving, yet their papers are correct, and it is evident they are not engaged in the hateful traffic; indeed the merchants on the coast, who were formally so occupied, have now abandoned the trade. The Admiralty are lengthening the commissions of the ships on the stations, appa rently with the intention of bringing the affair to a completion. The Flying Fish has been upwards of two years in commission, has taken ten prizes, and released 800 slaves. Owing to the admirable discipline of Captain Patey her internal report is of the very highest character, no cor poral punishments of any kind have been inflicted, every petty officer returns to England retaining the same rating as when he b-ft; and with the exception of one mate, promoted, and one m id s hi pman , e xchanged, she brings back the same offi cers w h om s he took out. The ship is in excellent order, and the crew in every way comfortable. Only three men have died since her com mission, viz, one marine, one krooman, and one drummer. The Flying Fish took an extraordinary route home, having come 200 miles to the eastward of the Azores. She struck soundings on Sunday afternoon, and would have arrived here on Taosday had she not experienceel a heavy south-east gale, under storm Bails, on Monday, and a dead calm on Tuesday. The Eddystone in as sighted at half-past five yesterda in g, but a thi ck fog and calm weather prey() 'entering the Setand until late in the afternoon. • She spoke, in latitude 23 51 north, longitude 28 Wi st, the English barque Robert, bound to Trinidad; and in latitude 34.40 north, longitude 24,30 west, exchanwed numbers with an English barque, showing the aecand distinguishing pendant and the number 5,982. She has landed her passengers—Lieutenant H. M. Elliott, in valided from the Waterwitch; Mr. Fowler, late mastei 'of the Niger, on half-pay; and Mr. Russell, late engin,Ser of the Prometheus. The Flying Fish will probably be paid off at Ply mouth. Dispatches for the Admiralty go on by the express train. Her Majesty's sloop Fly, 14, Commander Richard A. Oliver, from the New Zealand station, arrived yoster , :lay afternoon. She sailed from Auckland on the 29th of August, at ten A. N.; arrived at the Falkland Islands. on the 28th, and left on the 30th of September at rune A,M.; reached Rio Janeiro on the 17th of Octobei: at noon, and sailed therefrom at daylight on the 23(1 of October. She was off St. Michael's on the 24th of No vember. She spoke on the 29th of August, at the entrancib to Auckland, the merchant vessel Thames, out 115 d from.

The Fly, on the 14th of November, exchanged col. ?urs with her Majesty's ship Havannah, 19, Captain John E. Erskine, returning from the Australian station. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS; DAILY NEWS.—In the Conference of Reforniers at Manchester, Lord John Russell will find a standard of the measure of reform that is likely to satisf y a very numerous and very influential class of Englush men. The Conference was composed of men more in earnest, more addicted to plain speaking, than Libe rals of that class of society with which the Prey sier is most familiar. The Reformers represented at Man chester may have conventionalities of their own, ibut they are conventionalities which mould and mot !Iffy the opinions of a much wider circle than is composed by the aristocratic Whigs. On the other hand, the Liberals represented in the Conference cannot w ith any propriety of language be called Ultras, if regard is had to the views generally entertained by those • of their rank in society throughout the kingdom. The Conference was composed principally of Reform ers from Lancashire and the West Riding. A re ference to the list of delegates will show tih at there were comparatively few representatives of towns beyond these limits. Nay more, the reseilu tions adopted by the meeting appear to have b i.en canvassed and prepared at a preliminary meeting of Leeds and Manchester delegates. The predominat i ng influence at the Conference was, in short, that which made and kept the Anti-Corn-law League a " mid dle-class" movement. Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bai ries have had •as much to say in deciding the tone :vnd temper of the resolutions, as they had to say in the p,,re paration of the manifestoes of Anti-Corn-law delegel tes before they assumed the designation of " the Leap) e. If anything, the composition of the Conference • [vas more decidedly " middle class "—less tinged by a de mocratic spirit—than was that of the conference s, in which the Anti-Corn-law League originated. In the latter Mr. Cobden had, as now, the drag-chain of .Idr. Edward Baines upon him ; but, on the other hand,he had he support of M r . Joseph Stu gge (Birmingham) and Mr. J o h n stone (Glasgow). Birmingham appears to have stood aloof altogether from the Reform Confere nce . and the Whiggish Edinburgh was substitut e d for the more rad i cal Glasgow. If anything, th e l ea d ers of the new A te form movement are less p eremp t or y and resolute t I lan were the leaders of the A n ti-C orn -law movem telt. Why do we dwell on these c i rcums tances ? In, no spirit of disparagement ; out of no desire to play the Marplot, and awaken sectional jealousies, but sin tply for the purpose of impressing upon Lord J;ohn Russell, and Reformers of his stamp, the conviction that such a measure of reform as has found favou r in the eyes of the Manchester Conference, is the very least that has any chance of awakening interest in, or receiving support from, the great body of the in dustrial middle classes. Had the Conference bi sen held in Birmingham or London, the resolutions war uld have been of a more thoroughgoing, a more sternly uncompromising cast. Mr. Thompson and Sir Joshua Walmsley would have found more supporters in either of those places than they did in Manchet iter. It is very likely that our Conservative contempo raries may waste a great quantity of very indiffexent wit about the rather sharp debate that took place in the Conference between Mr. Thompson and Sir Joshua Walmsley on the one hand, and Mr. Bright, with his numerous supporters, on the of her. I Nay, it would in no way surprise us were " Con ear vative Reformers," as the phr ase i s , t o i n dulge in gigave and dull arguments and groundless inferences on. the subject. This bickering need not in truth disconcert the friends of reform. On the contrary, the show of temper on one or both sides affords a guarantee that both were in earnest; while the cordiality that was afterwards manifested gave evidence that the ebullition was transient; that the out-voted party was inclined to acquiesce in the resolutions of the majority ; that these resolutions, though scarcely so strong or decided as many Reformers (even of the middle class) could have wished, may command general assent and support, if men can only be convinced that there is a chance of having them carried into effect. Of the scope and tendency of the resolutions we are disposed to approve. We cannot , indeed, in conscience say even y tedious l yfelicitously minute in their de tails, without being very clear. t e h l a a b t o t r h a e t y e y a a r n e d very This was perhaps unavoidable. In literary composition, as in matters gastronomic, " too many cooks spoil the broth." When a sentence must be added to please one gentleman, and a parenthetical phrase thrown in to please another, verbiage and circumlocution is the inevitable result. And when these additions and interpolations are made, not to render a definition more explicit, or the expression of a principle more lucid, but to reconcile a timid critic to one phrase, or an impeteous critic to another, nothing can well come of such tinkering but lumbering obscurity. Doubt less the resolutions as they emanated from Mr. Bright were much more terse and clear than after they had undergone the diluting process of Mr. Baines's revision. If the resolutions mean anything they mean that that the Reform Bill contemplated by Lord John ought to embrace triennial Parliaments, a rate-paying suffrage, a re-distribution of the elec toral districts, vote by ballot, and no property qua lifications for Members. This was Mr. Cobden's exposition of the somewhat prolix and obscure text, and we confess we prefer his abridgment to the tedious prolixity of the original. Without saying that the resolutions of the Conference, as explained by Mr. Cobden, embrace all that we could desi re, or that they are the very least we should regard as acceptable, we may freely state that they constitute a measure of reform we should be right glad to see carried. On the necessity of doing away with small constituencies—adopting some me thod by which the voter will be disenabled to show how he has voted—and rendering general elections more frequent—we have repeatedly had occasion to express our opinions. As to the extension of the franchise, there are various considerations to be taken into account. The extension ought to be a real, not A mere nominal one. The qualification ought to be such as will facilitate registration, and render it less expensive. A rateable qualification might be made to possess both of these requisites. In the first place, if every payer of a direct tax, general or local, were entitled to vote, the constituency would receive numerous additions ; and, in the second place, while the tax-gatherers would take care that no person liable to pay rates escaped enrolment in the rate-book, few would wish to see their names recorded there merely for the sake of obtaining a vote. The rate-book would be a self-adjusting re gister of voters. But we see no necessity for making the payment of rates a condition of the exercise of the franchise ; nor do we see that the arguments at Manchester quite settled the question of how long a residence should be necessary to qualify. On the whole we think Reformers might go further and fare worse than by taking up with the programme of the Manchester Conference; and still more de cidedly are we of opinion that no measure of reform short of that which politicians like Mr. Baines, of Leeds, and the bulk of the manufacturers of Manches ter, are prepared to demand, has the slightest chance of meeting with that unanimous and enthusiastic sup port requisite to carry through Parliament a Reform Bill—even though introduced by a Minister. TIMES.—In tbis country anything whatever in the shape of a convention or " caucus,' any organization which appears to compete with the Legislature, and to rob it of its freedom or its initiative, is still the object of just suspicion and dislike. They who feel a general confidence in the Legislature, and are themselves con tent with the ordinary moans of influencing its delibe rations, feel it a sort of invasion on their own liberty, and a limitation of their just personal voice, when an irregular combination rises up and threatens to remove the question altogether from the constitutional arena. We are describing a sentiment rather than a principle, but it is a sentiment which is felt by many a loyal citizen and many a constitutional reformer. Now, it can not be denied that such a conference as that which met on Wednesday at Manchester, attended by delegates from many parts of the country, and of which one of the speakers observed that probably never were the roasters of so many men assembled before in one room, is such a combination as we have described. It is a Parliament in the north prescribing terms to the Par liament in Westminster. As such, we confess, we do not like it. Having said this, however, by way of protest, and to satisfy a proper jealousy for the independence of the Legislature, we admit that, like many other anomalies, such combina tions may be found necessary. It may be that the Legis lature is so overborne by other organized influences, by oligarchical families, by conspiring classes, by compact interests, and strong professional phalanxes, that some league in the general interest of the people may be necessary to balance those other particular forces. It may be that the Government of the day is too compro mised with vested interests and obstructive classes to be quite free to follow its own bias, and therefore requires an extreme pressure from without to enablt it to do what it wishes. The use, then, of such combination s as we have referred to above—of such, in fact, as that which met at Manchester on Wednesday, is a matter of discre tion. They should not be resorted to unnecessarily, any more than a revolution or a coup d'gtat. Considering the crganization employed, and the prevailiag character of the delegates, the scheme of Parliamentary Reform they have almost unanimously adopted is not so theo rectical, sweeping, and subversive us might have been expected. Such moderation deserves respect, and even success. But there is one important question which no degree of sympathy or respect should prevent us from asking. How will the scheme work? Will its moderate appearance tend to safe results? Will it help us a little further on the track of the old Reform Bill, or will it lead us on the verge of revolution? We have considered the scheme clause by clause, and we must say that we think it would take this nation a little out of its depth. We believe that in the great majority of cases the cottage of the agricultural labourer is not rated to the poor, whereas the cottage of the artisan is so rated. A measure, therefore, extending the suffrage to every person liable to the poor-rate would enfranchise the towns, and, by comparison, disfranchise the country; and in all arrangements tending towards a territorial adjustment of the constituency the rural popu lation would have the worst of it. The Manchester Reformers leave open the question of requiring payment previous to registration, but, if we are not mi s t a k en , they are in favour of such a requirement, but would rather leave to the Legislature the odium of insisting upon it. Whichever way that may be decided, the quali fication of liability to the rates is much more exclusive in villages than in towns. In the village the squire, the clergyman, the farmers, the shopkeepers, and a few tradesmen are on the rate-book, but scarcely one of the labourers ; in ,the town, on the other hand, every man employed in a factory will pro bably be liable. Were no other change to be made, the numbers of each existing conatituency would he a matter of less consequence; bat as it is proposed to make the new franchise the basis of still further changes, a qualification that would be more liberal in the towns than in the country would bo more injudicious and un fair. As soon as the Manchester Reformers come to dis tribute this new electoral power, as they call it, a new element of unfairness is introduced. They propose that, where practicable and convenient, small and neighbour ing boroughs shall be united and form one borough, and where it is not so convenient their constituencies shall merge in that of the county. Now, the former of these two processes is enfranchisement, and the latter dis franchisement, and the former is evidently the process that would bo applied to small manufacturing boroughs, which lie in clusters; and the latter to small agricultu ral boroughs which lie apart, seldom less than twelve or fifteen miles from one another. It is scarcely necessary to observe that such a minimum as 5,000 electors would en non - property n thought -p r opo et other we placesmake a wide sweep of agricultural borough s . If an y qualification at all wore required, that nu m b er o f ee ne e dpo i qualificationn o f points s importance, of not therepeat of mw sch e me— theehmatb ehras would d electors would not be found in any popul a ti on s h or t o f 30,000, so that the greater part of our county towns, hitherto be forthwith merged in the constituen c y o f t h e county. a A n fl t ballot,so m e of t h e triennial Parliaments, been said a thousand times on those much-vexed ques tions. Putting aside these minor questions, and taking a general view of the scheme, there is little reason to doubt that it would leave the agricultural class and the landed interest in a fearful minority of the representa tion. Their boroughs would be disfranchised, and their counties swamped, while they would see the electoral power transferred to the metropolis, and, in general, to towns and manufacturing districts with more than 30,000 inhabitants. We are not sure that the actual result would be less adverse to the old interests and old institutions of the country than the charter itself. How ever, we cannot but de justice to the strong, and we have no doubt sincere constitutional professions, of the Reformers. If those professions are indeed sincere, then we are afraid their scheme would go beyond their in tentions. Of course they expect, and have a perfect right to expect, that every new Parliamentary reform shall transform more power to the increasing population and to the comparatively new interests of manufacture and commerce; but they cannot wish wholly to extinguish the Parliamentary influence of the landed proprietary and of agriculture. FEARFUL COLLISION ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. STROUD, FRIDAY.—An accident happened yesterday on the Great Western Railway, Cheltenham branch, which has caused much consternation in this neighbour hood, the accident having arisen from a collision be tween the Parliamentary down train and a portion of • heavy goods train left on the line. The circumstances are as follow: A down goods train from London left the Swindon station for Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Stroud, about midday yesterday. Having arrived at Tetbury, it was found, on ascending a rather steep incline there, that the train, which was a very heavy one, could not be propelled up the lino for want of sufficient power in the engine. Accordingly a portion of the train (some eight or nine trucks, heavily laden) was left on the main line in the care of a policeman, the whole having been " scotched," which it was calculated would hold the bracks in their place until an engine could be sent to bring them on to the twin, which proceeded on towards Stroud, The weight of the train, however, overcame the scotches, and the train immediately began to decend the incline, and now attained a speed of some twenty miles an hour. It ran on in this way between two and three miles, passing the Tetbury-road station, to the great alarm of the officials there, who were aware that the Parliamentary train from London was . then due. That train was due at Tetbury-road, and snortly after the runaway trucks had passed it the passenger train came in sight. The driver of the passenger train immediately shut off his steam, and reversed his en gine, but a collision was unavoidable, and in a moment the passenger train dashed into the trucks, smashing them literally to pieces, and scatte ri ng the goods on the roads in all directions. The engine of the passenger train was also completely disabled, but the driver (Ribble) and the stoker escaped with a few severe bruises. The passengers in the Parliamentary train were thrown together with great violence. Several of them received very severe bruises and lacerations. In about two hours and a half the line was su ffi ciently cleared to permit of the traf fi c being continued. INTERESTING FACT.—'The following singular and authentic case of restoration of the human hair is w or th y of observation, more particularly as it relates to an art i cle of high and universal repute during the last half century.

CONSUMPTION OF TOBACCO. —It appears from the official accounts yesterday published that in the ten months ending the sth ult. there was an increase of 24,1631 b. n ofto bacco entered for h ome consumption compared with the ten months in the prec e di ng year, [PRICE SD.

Great hauls beautiful specimens, now and ex t ens i ve d i ggings and quartz discoveries, together with wharf and city itn provementi, massive fire-proof buildings of brick, iron, and stone, and increased facilities for locomo tion by land and water now absorb public attention, to the exclusion of dreadful conflagrations, daring rob beries, and summary hangings. The Vigilance Commit tee is no longer needed ; and, as a consequence of this state of things, business is resuming its wonted activity, and the busy hum of industry is heard in every city and village on the banks of every river, along the slope of every mountain, and in the depths of every gulch and valley. The Southern Convention for the division of the State is to bo held on the 20th instant, Those favourable to the project have at length united on Santa Barbara as the place where the delegates are to assemble. San Diego, Loa Angelos, San Luis Obispo, Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Joaquin, and other counties have elected their delegates. Several addresses have been published in support of the move ment. The principal grounds upon which its origi nators rely are stated in the following extract from the address of the Monterey delegates to their consti tuents:— " The products of the mines and placers of Cali fornia for three years are estimated by some as high as 150,000,000 dolls. I t would be a curious su bj ect ofin quiry to know how much the diggers of this vast amount of money have put into the Treasury of the State, and what proportion of the State's burdens these fortunate men have borne. If they should say, as has been the argument of many, that they are living and working on Government land, which th e S tate has no right to tax, the same principle would apply to our section of country, as our titles to land are unacknowledged by the United States, and, by a parity of reasoning, we ought also to be exempt from State taxation. But while the actual miners have not paid more than a hundredth part of the taxes, they are willing, and their representa tives have been most desirous, in effect if not in worde, to throw the great burden of responsibility on the shoulders of their poor neighbours, the graziers, mer chants, and landholders. They had the power, and they used it oppressively.' " Every exertion is being made by the collector of city taxes and his assistants to pay the interest on the funded debt of the city. The coupons fall due on the Ist of November, and, as they are themselves receivable for taxes, a considerable portion of them will doubtless be absorbed before the interest falls due. The credit of the city depends in a great measure on the promptitude with which the coupons will be paid; and, from the in creased confidence in city stock and the steady demand for coupons, there is no doubt but it will be preserved in violate. " Some amusement was caused last week at the Con vention of Justices, in the election of two associate jus tices of the Court of Sessions. On proceeding to the ballot, Messrs. Bailey and Shepheard (Whigs) received three votes each, and Messrs. Gorham and Corbett (Democrats) also three votes each. After several ballots were had with a similar result, and several attempts made to compromise the matter, a mo tion was made by Mr. Gorham to adjourn, which not being adopted, the three democratic members took up their hats and walked out, leaving the Whig trio without a quorum. The chairman, therefore, declared the Convention dissolved for want of a quorum. Judge Campbell thereupon appointed Justice Shepheard and Justice Corbett his associate justices. The former declined the appointment, on the ground that the county judge had no power to appoint an associate justice, unless to fill a vacancy, which, he contended, did not exist, as con templated by law. Whereupon Judge Campbell ap pointed Justice Gorham in his stead. This gentleman has since declined on the same grounds; and thus the case rests for the present. A writ of quo warrant° will probably decide the matter before another tribunal. The Coure- of Sessions being thereupon opened, proceeded to hold a special term to hear the matter of a contested election between Messrs. Addison and Wainwright for the c unty clerkship. The former, in his petition, prays that the election of Wainwright be set aside on the ground of malconduct on the part of the Board of Judges of Election in several of the wards, &c., in relation to the ballots. The de fendant demurred to the petition of the claimant (Mr. Addison), on the ground that it did not set forth suffi cient facts to annul or set aside the election. The Court overruled the demurrer, and the further hearing of the case was postponed till this day. The petition was dismissed this morning with costs. In addition to the above there are two other cases of con tested elections before the courts, The one is a petition of Dr. S. R. Harris, filed in the district court, alleging that C. J. Brenham had been illegally exercising the duties of Mayor of San Francisco since the 3d September, to which complainant claims to be en titled by virtue of his election OH that day, and praying that said Bren ham bo ousted. The decision in this case will settle the question as to who are legitimately entitled to the city government—the present incumbents or those lately elected. The other case is that of Judge Norton against Judge Satterlee, for .the judgeship of the Superior Court. Some of the most eminent counsel in California are engaged in the above suits, among whom we notice Elishs Cooke, lion. K. M. Lane, Hon. I. E. Holmes, Judge S. Heydenfeldt, H. T. Hepburn, Philip Hamilton, &c. An election for alderman having been lately held in Stockton, the nominees of the party in favour of the tax of 2 dollars per ton on all merchandise brought to the city were elected, and the merchants' nominees, or those opposed to the tax, de feated. A difference, however, of 80 votes has been discovered between the tally and the poll-lists, and a new election has been ordered in consequence, which will be held on Friday next. Some idea of the traffic between San Francisco and the southern mines may be formed from the fact that there are at this mo ment ten steamers plying between San Francisco and Stockton. There are ten also plying between San Francisco and Sacramento. The latter are, for the most part, of a larger size than those on the San Joaquim River, and make the trip of about 120 miles in from seven to eight hours. In the elegance of their accom modations, and the luxuries of their larder, they might compare favourably with any passenger vessels in the world. There are ton other steamers plying from Sa cramento to different places in that city. One year ago there was but ono steamboat in Oregon, the Colum bia; now there are about eleven steamboats of different kinds running on the Columbia and Willamette rivers, not including tho Pacific steamers Seaga', and Columbia, running between Oregon and California. Stockton, in the early part of this month, became the scene of out rages of a similar character to those which some time since disgraced Francisco. On the 3d inst. three men were shot in the vicinity of Stockton. On Saturday evening an attempt was made•to shoot two others, without provo cation. On the same night a Mexican was most inhu manly butchered in a house in the outskirts of the city, and on Sunday morning an attempt was made to shoot a gentleman, for no reason that he could imagine. This is a most unprecedented state of things in that city, and has excited considerable sensation in the community. As the steamer Republic was on her last trip from Pa nama to San Francisco, she struck upon a rock near Point Blanco, about twenty miles from this city, during the prevalence of a dense fog. Owing to the judicious and skilful management of Captain Hudson, his officerr, passengers, and crew, she was kept afloat till the Cali fornia went down to her relief. The latter towed h-r into San Francisco. Tho damage, it is thought, will be easily repaired. The steamer Miner, loaded with hay, was completely destroyed by fire last week, while enter ing the Suisun Bay from the Slough, just below New York. A spark from the smoke stack lit upon the hay, and in a moment the whole was enveloped in flames. One man was burnt to death, and another dangerously so. The boat was a total loss. The Mormons have at length taken possession of the rancho of San Bernar dino, near Los Angelico, for which they paidlo2,ooo d 1- Lars. 25,000 dollars were p a id d own, and the remainder is to be paid in two equal annual payments.

We have received the Cape Town Mail of the 18th of 0-ttober, from which we give the following sum mary o f news " GRAHAM'S TOWN, OCT. n. has Since the date of our last communication everything i been remarkably quiet in this neighbourhood , and , n fact, throughout the whole of Lower Albany.

"It is now reported that Sandilli determined to make a vigorous attack on Fort Hare. It is to be hoped that he will attempt this, as he will undoubtedly sustain a defeat.

Bloem Fontein is represented as i n a very precarious situation, and Major Warden has brought difficulties upon the country which h . e finds it not easy to obviate or remove. Th e re p ort is current here, founded upon some recent letters from that quarter, that the noted Pretorious has sent a mes sage to Warden, to the purport that he is coming down with a large force in order to prevent the effusion of blood.' Should he and his Boers stir up and take part with Moshesh in any extensive movement upon the co lony, the consequence s wou ld, f or a time, be most dis astrous. In consequence of some information of this character, we understand that some pieces of artillery twat were ordered to the front are now detained, and are to be sent up to Burghersdorp. " A considerable train of waggons, with commissariat and other supplies, left town on Thursday, for Whittle sea and that neighbourhood, vier Cradock. The rate of waggon hire now paid hence to Whittlesea is 255. to 30s. per 1001 b., thus upon many articles of every day con sumptien doubling the original price. This morning a large waggon train, for the commissariat department, arrived here from Port Elizabeth, under an escort of the Native Levy. The post from Cape Town arrived so early to-day that the letters were delivered before nine o'clock, a thing which has scarcely occurred before since the commencement of the war. We are, therefore, in possession of the information respecting the meeting of the Council. Hero it would have been more satisfactory had it been summoned to meet at Graham's Town; but a meeting anywhere is preferable to the late anomalous state of public business." MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS; CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.—The agitation in the Efig• Hill Stock Market to-day has been excessive, and there has been as much anxiety to obtain further news from Paris as was witnessed on the receipt of the first intelli gence on Tuesday. Consols, which left cff yesterday at 97 ii to opened at 97k, and the details of the severe struggle last evening in the streets, and the probability of its resumption with equal obstinacy this mornin g , caused a feeling of apprehension, which i ncrease d throughout the progress of business, until, after many violent fluctuations, the market closed at a decline of nearly one per cent., the last quotations being 96t to for Money, and 96i for the opening in January. State ments that the National Guard in many districts had declared in favour of the Assembly, and that the same course had been taken by the Generals in command at Lille, Lyons, and Marseilles, coupled with the fact of the members of the High Court of Justice having met at Rouen and pronounced sentence for high treason on Louis Napoleon, gave rise to the conviction that, what ever may be the immediate course of events, a contest has begun which no ordinary means can now allay. The electric telegraph was at work throughout the day, but no political news was received by it, and this seemed to confirm the fear that the fighting in the streets had recommenced, or that the general state of affairs was so doubtful as not to admit of any absolute statements being forwarded regarding the prospects on either side. The pri3e to wh . ch Consols have declined is as low se any that has yet been quoted, and it is believed that the fall would have been heavier but for the numerous pur chases on the part of the public, which are so frequently noticed ,in cases when any sudden depression has taken place. The further arrival of 300,0001. in gold front America (making a total of 560,0004 within the week) likewise tended to impart confidence. Bank Stock closed to-day at 214 to 215; Reduced, 95 to -I ; Three and-a-Quarter per Cents., 96i to 97; Long Annuities, 7; India Bonds, 58s. to 615.; and Exchequer-bill s , 48 s . to 51s. premium. The transer books for India Stock are closed. The Foreign Stock Market was depressed by the general preponderance of sales, and prices without exception were quoted at a decline. In the foreign exchanges the rate upon Paris fully maintained the advance of last Tuesday. With regard to Amsterdam and Ilamburgh, the rates were, if any thing, a shade lower, not much business having been transacted in connexion with those places. The number of letters received from Paris to-day by the City houses was exceedingly small, and none of them eontained more than a few lines. Until to-day tho course of events has most probably been known here by the agency of the telegraph with more speed and accuracy than in many parts of that city, and even if this had not been the case, it seems evident from the tone of ouch letters as have arrived, that the business firms would be afraid to commit themselves to any remark. They limit them selves for the most part to a request that their London correspondents will not make them any remittances, and if the alarm should continue, a large amount is likely i n this way to be detained, and to add to the floating balances seeking employment. In one communication it is said Louis Napoleon has ordered the Bank of France to suspend specie payments in case of any r un for gold that should reduce th e stoc k i n hand below the amount of notes in circulation.
