Simultaneously with the commencement of the annual Cattle Show, in Baker-street, the Society of Arts has afforded the public the advantages accruin g from another lecture suggested by the Great Exhi bition. It was, appropriately enough, upon the sub j set o f the raw products displayed in the Crystal Palace—prothicts . both animal and veg-table. The lecturer was nu less distinguished a philosopher th en Professor OwEN. Delivered, as the discourse was, during Show, ing the time when the C a tt le already mentioned, Was still on view, it imparts an additional interest to tvehoqioh h epeaceful triumphs of research and of indu,try h more especially of late years, illustrated the histC' rs of the Anglo-Saxon race. Everyone mug, more or ksi, h ave l ong s i nce re - m arked the very extraordinary'contrast visible be- t w een the cours e pursued in our generation by the peoples of the the people of this country and we English have rest of Christendom. For outss.elibvYteliso,:s their to the directed our energies with advancement of the useful arts in all branches and to the development of the physical us weictsitE of the abstract sciences.

Not that we would for an instant 1), Ifliderstdepreciate the s.. ood to progress made by isl a e . THE SUN, France, by Belgium, or by Germany in matters where we have shown ourselves, as a community, such proficients. All we mean to assert is this— that whereas with ourselves we have been enabled to dedicate the whole of our capabilities to the advancement of the interests of civilization, our continental brethren have only been enabled to travel in a similar direction through the number less impediments of a social and political character thrown in their way by a series of tremendous revo lutions. That they have, notwithstanding all these obstructions, advanced as far as they have, is a marvel honourable to their resolution and perseverance. But, necessarily, they have been prevented, to a considerable extent, from proceeding as far as they would otherwise have done, if they had, like ourselves, possessed the advantages of uninterrupted tranquillity. The facts here referred to are notorious to all intelligent observers in both hemispheres ; and the late Industrial Exhibition seemed to be the crowning event of their celebration. It was suggestive and significant enough that that Exhibition of the results of the toil and ingenuity of the human race was held in the capital not of France of Austria, of Russia, of Italy, of Turkey, or of China, but of Great Britain. Accustomed as we are to arrogate to ourselves a certain political pre-eminence as being the conservators and custodians of a truly representative and liberal form of government, we have yet greater reason to claim a position of un questionable superiority, as the nation in which are preserved and cultivated all those arts and sciences most essential to the development of the interests of civilization. For this reason, therefore, we say thit the Great Industrial Exhibition was appropriately held in London, as the metropolis of the land in which the cause of industry is most cared for by the popu lation. We should find some difficulty, even if we re stricted ourselves to panegyric, in exaggerating the merits of the remarkable lecture delivered on Wednesday evening before the Society of Arts by Professor OWEN—his discourse elu cidating with extraordinary skill the importance of one of the most interesting class of objects contri buted to the Industrial Exhibition. The Professor commenced by observing that for the raw materials derived from the animal and vegetable kingdoms, mankind owed more to the power and operation of nature than to the inventions and appliances of art. A memorable reflection, which he might have still fur ther enforced by the assertion that the vast majority of those same inventions and appliances of art were originally suggested by that power and operation of nature. Beginning with the raw materials derived from the animal kingdom, Professor OWEN explained the peculiarities of those employed in textile fabrics and clothing. Here it was that at the very outset he instanced the peculiarities of wool as affording a proof of the correctness of his previous observations—wool, that peculiar combination of hair, in consequence of the interlacing or interlocking of its fibres, being cha racterized by smoothness, softness, and a singular laminated or imbricated surface, on which depended its felting properties. Having described with exceeding minuteness and lucidity the exact nature and mode of its formation, the learned Lecturer commented upon the extraordinary varieties of wool from all parts of the globe contributed to the Great Exhibition—wool from the east in China, the mountains of Thibet, and the plains of Tartary ; from the west in the United States ; from the south in the C pe of Good Hope and Tasmania ; from the north in Iceland and Scan dinavia. Later on, Professor OWEN enumerated the other among the more remarkable raw materials con tributed to the Great Exhibition—the hair of deer, of goats, and of camels from India and Persia, the hair of rabbits from Spain, and the samples of bristles from Russia. After recounting several of the more peculiar uses of whalebone, the Lecturer,spoke at large upon the value of silk as a raw material supplied by a seemingly insignificant insect, and yet one fabri cating some of the most inestimable products for tex tile fabrics—particularising, as the most precious of all the various kinds of silk, that produced by the larvae of a species of moth called the bornbyx mori, so called from its feeding on the leaves of the mul berry. Such were among the many interesting mat ters treated of by Professor OWEN in his remarkable lecture—a lecture which nobly carried out the views of the illustrious Prince who originated the series now in course of delivery at the Society of Arts. That series, we are satisfied, must tend very greatly to forward the cause which the Exhibition itself was projected to promote—the cause of the industry of he human race and of the general interests of civi• zation. The entertainment recently given by the American Chamber of Commerce at Liverpool to the Hon. It. J. WALKE2, has been emulated by the great city of Manchester. The merchants and leading com mercial gentlemen of that proud emporium of indus try have thus, in a marked and honourable manner, testified their appreciation of his successful exertions to obtain from the Legislature of the United States a reduction of the prohibitive tariff on our manufac tures ; a happy measure of reform, which occurred almost simultaneously with our own repeal of the corn-laws. The opinions expressed on the occasion of the banquet at Manchester on Tuesday evening last, in favour of unfettered commerce, were mark-worthy from the weight and experience of the speakers. Be sides the honoured guest, the names of such men as COBDEN, BRIGHT, MILNER GIBSON, and RATHBONE, lent a veritable importance to the gathering of free trade champions who were assembled under the pre sidency of Mr. BAZLET. Mr. 'WALKER, developed his views with his usual felicity, lucidity, and soundness. Ile supported them by an interesting and cogent array of statistical facts, and whatever falls from this dis tinguished statesman is eminently worthy of atten tion, if it were but from his repeated aspirations— aspirations bearing the impress of genuine sincerity. for a cordial and perpetual connexion of amity be tween the kindred countries of England and the United States. Justly believing that commerce is pre-emi nently the friend of peace, Mr. WALKER enunciates his conviction that by the joint action of the two countries in the repeal of our corn-laws, and in the , reduction, the very great simultaneous reduction of 1 American duties, more was done by those two single acts to cement and perpetuate the friendly relations of England and America than by all the preceding Acts of Parliament and the statutes of the Congress of the United States. The absurdity of the allegation that the tariff of 1846 is really a Protectionist tariff, was happily shown up by the hon. speaker, who, ley the use of a few figures, demonstrated that the measure in question was a fundamental change. He called attention to several items as taxed under the respec tive systems in the years 1844 and 1846, from a con sideration of which it is manifest that the average of those duties, embracing most of the great necessities of life exported from England to America, was 88 per cent. under the tariff of 1842, and 26 per cent. under the tariff of 1846. " For the first time," said Mr. WALKER, referring to the latter measure, " for the first time in the history of our Go vernment the ground was then assumed that itwas un i uAt,.impolitic, and unconstitutional to impose any pro. t ct tre duty th a t we cou ld j us tly an d p roper l y i mpose no a except r d u ev y ei,ueian fortai td. Whenrevenue, a you ndim bear in mind thatposenodulybeyond from the organization of our Government under our te constitution o f 1788 , down to ecenaber, 1845, no abandonment Ana er American Sec r o e f ta ; y protective had ever duties, dared ithite must,tt a o riff als pr opose itthti the hn 1 n, be conceded t hat the change made by a single step w as great and important. Under i stood, there was scarcely an article manufactured of cotton that the manufacturers of this day could have exported to the United States. With duties ranging from 41 to 70 per cent. they would soon have becom e —in fact they were becoming—absolutely prohibitory. Now the export is nearly quadrupled. These are some of the results, ts I have noted them from the statistical tables of the United States, of what has been the effect produced in that country by our re duced tariff. Our exports the last year of the tariff of 1842 were 113,488,516 dolls. ; in 1851, under the tariff of 1846, they were 195,898,650 dolls. Our revenue the last year of the tariff of 1842 was 26,712,000 dolls.: the last year, under the tariff of 1846, it was 50,000,000 d o ll s. T hus, while we have reduced our dutiesi already nmutual is nearly doubled." this exports enormousra atioonud by one single step, our revenue I n the imports a similar ex traordinary augmentation is apparent. In the cotton . trade a vast increase between the two countries has I LONDON, taken place ever since the two Governments have re-1 ciprocally adopted the repeal and the reduction of duties. It is true that there is still a protective ten• dency lurking in the tariff of 1846, but in comparison with its predecessor it must be pronounced a splendid and demonstrative triumph of the free-trade princi ple, and the still existing duty of 30 per cent. on British manufactures is but a wart to Ossa, when it is recollected that our own duty on tobacco is actually one of 1,200 per cent. It may be said that tobacco is a needless luxury, well deserving to be highly taxed ; but every man of sense must know that it is held by a great proportion of the people to be a positive necessary, and that the present absurd tax upon it causes fully one-half of the quan tity consumed in the United Kingdom to be introduced through a vigilant system of smuggling fostered by a protective impost of such disproportionate magni tude as, without much enhancing the revenue, proves a direct and irresistible incentive to crime. So admirable were the sentiments delivered by Mr. WALKER, not merely on commercial matters, but on the mighty political results which an intimate union between England and the States would ,ffect, that we shall content ourselves with a simple expression of regret that he should have taken occasion to speak in terms of hasty denuncia tion of the recent event in France. It is observable that none of the subsequent speakers echoed his ill considered, nay, unseemly tirade against the French PRESIDENT. That a dangerous spirit of despotism is existent on the continent of Europe is as clear as the sun at noonday ; but that the gallant French nation, in the enjoyment of universal suffrage, will league with Russian or Austrian despotism in a crusade against the consolidation of liberal opinions, is what we cannot bring ourselves easily to believe. If the occu pation of the French must be belligerent, according to ➢Sr. WALKER, is there no tyranny to be combatted, no oppression to be redressed, that they must necessarily combine with tyrants? It is really rash, to say the least of it, to libel a great people and its ruler in this off-hand manner. Let us rather hope, if the struggle be impending, when liberty must appeal to the championship of her Anglo-Saxon children, that whilst the joint flags of England and America remain not furled at her appeal, neither may the glorious tricolour of France be absent from the sacred cause. The active alliance of the two former peoples ought indeed to be effectual. The communication of their determination to the despotic Powers that the doctrine of non-intervention must be observed—that every nation must be per mitted to judge for itself, and to select such institu tions as best suited it according to the will of the na tion, should suffice to arrest their march. But we will not inconsiderately malign our brave and en lightened neighbours, nor their energetic ruler, by ranging them on the side of the foes of constitutional freedom, merely because the exercise of military power has been found necessary for the emergency, in order to anticipate and defeat detestable intrigues and monstrous conspiracies against the peace and prosperity of the French Republic. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Pays, the organ of M. LAMARTINE, has the following remarkable article on the occurrences in the departments : The news from the departments cause in Paris a unanimous impression of grief and indignation. The jacquerie has raised its head, and bands of assassins are scouring the country, attacking towns, pillaging, burn• ing, and killing everywhere on their passage. It is not the days of fanaticism, but of barbarism and cannibalism that we witness. Such men are on a level with brute beasts. These frightful crimes are not merely a subject of grief and horror for every honest man, they are also a subject of serious reflection. Why endeavour to shut our eyes to the fact? 1852 concealed an abyss, and the events which have taken place allow a glimpse to be had of that abyss which could swallow up everything, Republic, family, country, society. It was not civil war which menaced us: civil war is always, no doubt, a dreadful visitation, but if it causes hu manity to weep, it does not make it blush. There can be honour in dying for an idea; and if they who so perish are factious men in the eye of the law which condemns them, they are also sometimes heroes in the opinion of posterity which absolves end glorifies them. But men acting as we read of at pre sent in the departments are nothing but assassins. God forbid that we should confound the people of France with these bands of reprobates. In them the people have no part; what we see is only the impure scum of society. The hard-worlting people, who hope by their labour to arrive at property, have nothing to say to these at tempts; they execrate them, they despise them, and, if necessary, would rise up to strangle them in the it re sistible clasp of their patrioti , m and devotedness. In a word, the people do not menace society, they protect it. But if the real hard-working people are ready to op pose such acts, it is unfortunately true that by their side is a faction, indefatigable and implacable, for whom the Republic is only a false mask under which are concealed all kinds of immoralities, cupidities, passions, and hatred. That faction is known to all— it is known by the name cf demagogy. Do you know what has compromised the democracy ? The de magogy. The Republic has had a great misfortune— that in place of belonging to itself, and showing itself to the country in the truth and hcnesty of its principles, it had delivered itself up to deplorable aberrations, and slipped away from the hands of the men who had kept it pure and moderate, into those of men who have exag gerated and disfigured it. In the eyes of a part of the country the Republic became socialism, and it is that circumstance which precipitated us into inevitable crisis. Ia the midst of the turbulent and demagogical faction which desired to seize on everything, there arose natu rally the absolute and inflexible reaction which would not yield anything. The result was that the Constitu tion became nothing but a word, and the Government an absolute impossibility. Brutal socialism, a paltry mino rity in the country, but audacious and capable of having recourse to every means, was ready to dare every thing, and the narrow pass of 1852 might l ea d us to its temporary triumph i n blood, and on the ruins of France and of civilization. There was a peaceful issue to that situation, so pregnant with tempest, namely, the revision of the Constitution and the re-establishment of universal suffrage. France desired to issue from her po sition through the door, but the parties doubl e -l oc k e d door. When it was found impossible to open it, force Ism used, and it was burst open. The President appealed to the sovereignty of the people, and he had succeeded. We do not hesitate to say that what is passing in the de partments does not allow any one to pay attention to his private grievances. What we could not comprehend, is that any one should hesitate for a moment when the public safety is menaced. Let the social war, now commenced, find the whole of the eountry, which is well disposed, ready to combat it. Republicans, Legitimist*, Bonapartists, and Orleanists, aro all concerned in putting down such devastations. Lot us then defend the coun try from demagogy, appealing to right and justice, those eternal gods of a Democracy which will not allow itself to be stigmatised, and of a people which will not consent to perish." The PRESIDENT of the Republic again visited the wounded in the hospitals on Wednesday. The statement that attempts had been made by the Government to intimidate the correspondents of the London journals is contradicted. A decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, dated the 9th, refers the investigation of all the facts con nected with the recent insurrection in the first mili tary division, and the trial of the persons concerned in them, to the military jurisdiction. It also enacts that four military commissions, each of three mem bers, under the direction of General BERTRAND, shall make the investigations, and decide about per sons who shall be tried by court-martial or set at liberty. The ilierniteur states that in the combats of the last week the army had 25 men killed, one being an officer ; and 184 wounded, 17 being officers. The Minister of the Interior has addressed the fol lowing report to the PRESIDENT of the Republic : " Paris, Dec. 10. •' Monsieur le ProSsident—The departments of the Gers, the Var, the Lot, and the Lot of Garonne are disturbed by insurrections. In several places the in surgents have attacked the public force, and engaged in sanguinary collisions. They have made themselves masters of towns and communes, which have since been taken from them, thanks to the energy of the authorities and the troops. But these attempts at civil war have given rise to attacks on property and per sons, and it is urgent to apply a remedy to a situation which is so much to be regretted, and which greatly alarms good citizens. We must restrain by the display of military force the factious, who do not fear to P the ar A t n 'V decree carry mourning and terror into the midst of peaceable populations.

All person. The following circular has been addressed to the Prefects by the Minister of the Interior : " Paris, December io. " Monsieur le l'Ofet,—You have just passed through some days of trial—you have supported in 1851 the so cial war which was to have broken out in 1852. You must have seen that by the conflagration, the brigandage, and assassinations which have characterised it. If you have triumphed over the enemies of society, it is because they have been taken unprepared, and that you have been seconded by honest people. Be kind enough to address to me a detailed report on facts, and on the con duct of persons. If in this supreme conflict, which is to decide on the fate of France, some functionaries have displayed weakness, send me the names, and they shall be immediately dismissed. Point out to me, on the other hand, those who have fulfilled their duty with courage, in order that I may call down on them the gratitude of France, and name them for the kindness of the President of the Republic." The Minister of War has addressed the following dispatch to the various Generals in command of corps:-- " Dec. _9, nine P. M. "All armed insurrection has ceased in Paris by a vigorous repression, and the same energy will have the same effects everywhere. Bands, bringing with them pillage, rape, and incendiarism, are placing themselves out of the pale of the law. With such persons, there can be no parley, or summation; they are to be attacked and dispersed. Every man that resists ought to be at once shot, in the name of society defending itself legiti• ma tely." M. MADIER DB MONTJAU, senior, was set at liberty on Tuesday. The Siecle states that M. DAVID (d'Angers) has been arrested. _ The number of votes given by the army, in pur suance of the plebiscite of December 2, and known up to this time, has (says the Patrie) been 65,289. Of these, 61,456 have been for the PRESIDENT, and 3,749 against him. A variety of rumours," says the Pattie, " were in circulation to•day at the Bourse, of modifications and remodellings of taxes. These are mere ma nceuvres of speculators, and we are able to affirm that there is nothing true in what has been thus said." Two days back were posted up at the Mairie of the Ist arrondissement the preliminary publications of the marriage of M. PONTERRiktr, aide-de-camp of the general-in-chief of the army of Paris, to Mlle. PIERRETTE MAGNAN, daughter of the latter officer. The funeral of Marshal SOULT, Duke de Dalmatie, took place at St. Amand-la-Bastide, on the 6th. An immense concourse of people assembled on the occa sion from the departments of the Herault, Tarn, and Lot. The Archbishop of ALBY and the Bishop of CAUORS officiated, and were assisted by a large body of the clergy, occupying thel,whole of the choir and part of the nave of the small church where the last service was performed. The authorities of the Tarn and of the neighbouring departments were prevented from attending, in consequence of the disturbed state of the country. They sent formal excuses to the Duchess for their absence. Everything passed over with great pomp and in perfect order. The Constitutiannel gives the following intelligence from the Basses Alpes All the department of the Basses Alpes is in the power of the Socialists. The mails are stopped and the couriers secured. The dispatches are opened, and all those addressed to public functionaries confiscated. More than four thousand insurgents have invested the Chef leu Digna. About three thousand men from the rural communes are at Sisterton, endeavouring to take possession of the citadel, which is only guarded by eighty men. The municipal authorities have been com pelled to resign their functions, and a Socialist commission is sitting at the Hotel de Ville. The Sub-Prefect and all the authorities have entered the citadel. The insurgents are all armed. The town has all the appearance of a place taken by assault. The Government has re ceived intelligence of what has taken place, and is adopting energetic measures for the repression of the in surrection." The inspector of the Var writes from Toulon, the Bth of December, that the mail from Draguignan brings news that 2,000 insurgents who were march ing on that town retreated in the direction of Brig nolles and Barjols, making some hundred bourgeoisie and public functionaries march at their head with chains round their necks. The Director of the Post-of f ice at Luo was amongst the prisoners. In the dispatch from Luc of Dec. 7 for Paris is en closed a regular sheet of advice signed by the provi sional director named by the sovereign people, BOUCHER. For some days past the diligence from Draguignau to Marseilles, which carries the mail, has brought a way-bill signed by the revolutionary directors of Vidauban, Cuers, &c. We take from Galignani the following further par ticulars of the disturbances in the provinces : " M. Carlier, commissary extraordinary in the do partments of the Cher, the Allier, and the Nievre, arrived, in the night of the Bth, before Clameoy, which was already blockaded by a body of troops. The pre sence of M. Cartier, who was accompanied by General Pellion and M. Corbin, Prccureur-General of the Court of Appeal of Bourges, was hailed with enthusiasm. Considerable reinforcements of troops followed these authorities, and everything was arranged for retaking the town, which had been given up to the power and violence of the insurgents. Tho troops, while regret ting the terrible mission which they had to fulfil, showed themselves full of ardour, and it was easy to see that nothing could resist their energy; but before daylight emissaries who had left the town announced that the insurgents had taken advantage of the night and fled in all directions. At six o'clock in the morning the autho rities, who had arrived during the night, again took possession of the town, without firing a Shot. An hour afterwards the following proclamation, printed at Cla mecy, was posted about the town : " ' Inhabitants of Clamecy—Bandits, factious men, and assassins threw the town of Clamecy into mourning on the sth, 6th, and 7th inst. Honourable citizens, old men, children, and intrepid gendarmes, valiantly defending the laws and society, have been massacred. Dwellings have been devastated. The most honourable blood cries for vengeance—the punishment will be severe. Let good citizens be tranquillised, and unite in the name of threatened family ties. M. Legeay, the Mayor of Cla mecy, who has forgotten all his duties in flying like a coward under a disguise from his ,post, his family, and his fellow-citizens , i s dismisse d from his functions.

(Signed) " PETIT DE LA FOSSE, Prefect of the Nievre.' " A military "court-martial was immediately organized to execute justice on the guilty men who had been ar rested by the troops, as well as on those who were brought in every moment by the inhabitants of the sur rounding country, who had organized themselves to seek for and seize those who had fled. "An insurrectionary movement had taken place on the banks of the Loire, on an order which had been received from Paris. The principal point of it was at Nevy sur-Loire, between Briare and Come. At the first news of this disturbance, M. Ponsard, Secretary General of the Prefecture of the Nievre, left Nevres, accompanied by a strong detachment from the 41st and 18th regi ments of the line. On its arrival it found a strong bar ricade on the road near Neuvy, and the tocsin was sound ing. At the moment when the combat was about to commence, the venerable cure of Neuvy, hoping to in duce the insurgents to lay down their arms, went for ward to address them. A ruffian instantly red a mus ket, and the ball entered the breast of the worthy pastor. A few moments after, the soldiers carried this barricade at the point of the bayonet. The officer who commanded the column of attack was th© first to mount it, when an insurgent placed a pistol at his breast, and was about to fire, wheu he was killed by a soldier of the 18th, who thus saved the life of his officer. The insurgents soon afterwards took to flight; but numerous = eats were made, particularly that of the assassin of the Cure. A court-martial immediately assembled , and he was shot in presence of the twine of Neuvy. It is impossible to describe the terror of the men who have been arrested. Some valuable revelations have been obtained teem the prisoners. They have put the authee rities on the trace of the guilty cowards who every where incite to civil war, without taking any part in it themselves—reserving to themselves the chance of pro fiting by the work of others. It is hoped that, notwith standing the gravity of the wounds of the CurO, his life will be saved. " Grave troubles have burst out in the valley of the Drome. The anarchists attempted a rising at Crest, a little town between Valence and Die. Some fighting took place, in which several gendarmes were killed or wounded. The insurgents displayed a red flag, and their rallying cry was Vivo la Republique Waimea tique et Social() 1' All their efforts to seize on the town were ineffectual, and on hearing that reinforcements of troops had been dispatched against them, they dispersed. Several of them have been taken prisoners. The Bourse was more firm. The Five per Cents. opened at 95f. 75c, rese to 95f. 50c., and closed at 96f. 35c. for the end of the month.; the Three per Cents. closed at 58f. 75c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 925 f.; Rouen, 587 f, 50c.; Havre, 221 f. 25c.; Great Northern, 475 f.; Avignon, 205 f.; Vierzon, 447 f. 50c.; Basle, 156 f. 25c. ; Bordeaux, 380 f. ; Paris and Strasburg, 371 f. 25c.; Tours and Nantes, 260 f.; Amiens to Bou logne, 260 f.

SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 6th have arrived. A letter of that date says that, as soon as the tele graphic dispatch of the 2d had been received, an energetic circular was sent by the Government to the Captains-General and Governors of provinces, order ing them to take every measure for the preservation of order. No fresh accounts had been received from Paris in consequence of the unfavourable state of the atmosphere, which prevented the transmission of telegraphic dispatches from Bayonne. MADRID BOLSA, DEC. G.—Three per Cents., 351,1 ; Five per Cents., 15i i t . Exchange on London, 5050. FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 12, 1851 PORTUGAL Accounts have been received from Lisbon to the 7th. The CABRALS seem to have resigned themselves to the political annihilation to which they have been doomed by the last elections. Not only has the Estandarte, the journal of JOSE CABRAL, ceased to appear, but the press and types are advertised for sale, and JOSE CABRAL himself is about to quit the country. The Miguelite Peers have consented to take their seats in the Senate, and it is understood they will support SALDANIIA'S Government. A creation of ten or twelve new peers is expected.—Great consternation has been produced in the financial world by the publication of a Royal decree to the following astounding effect—to wit, the capitaliza tion, Ist, of the dividends due on the National Debt, both internal and external, for the second half-year of 1850 and the whole of 1851, and of those yet to become due for the first half-year of 1852; 2d, of the interest of the debt due to the Bank of Portugal for the first half-year of 1852 ; 31, of the whole of the arrears up to July last, due to all classes of civil cmployies and pensioners; 4th of all sums yet due for supplies to the army of operations in 1846 and 1847. All these debs are to be capi talized, or funded, by giving the parties Four per Cent. Inscriptions at par for the full amount of their claims, and the resources thus left at the disposal of the Government are to be applied to the redemption of those branches of the revenue which have been anticipados or mortgaged. In the long preamble, signed by all the Ministers, by which this decree is ushered in, the plea of urgent and inevitable necessity is set up in justification of so bold and sweeping a measure. The celebrated Padre MARCO, the Queen's Chap lain, died on the 6th. The Count Das ANTAS is dangerously ill. GERMANY. The Vienna and Berlin journals which arrived this morning contain no news of importance. There is nothing in them to indicate that the Governments of Austria and Prussia have any reason to apprehend that the enemies of order in these countries will re sort to open manifestations, but every precaution has been taken to repress any attempt that may be made. The Federal army of observation has received orders to take up its position on the Rhine. Austria and Prussia each furnish 15,000 men ; Bavaria, Hesse, and the other states 10,000 men ; so that the effective force of the corps darmie will be 40,000. The Baden Gazette states that the soldiers sent on furlough on the Ist of October have been sum moned to their colours by the order of the Minister of War. The Hanoverian Chambers met on 2d December, and immediately received very comprehensive pro - jects of law from the Government. There was also a letter from the KING of the following purport, which will require an address:—That it having pleased the ALMIGHTY to remove from this mortal scene his late Majesty King ERNEST AUGUSTUS, it had been the first care of his Majesty King GEORGE V. to convoke the states. He had confidence that they would aid him with the same loyalty and affection which they had manifested to his late father ; that the patent of his accession had been deposited in the National Archives ; finally, the KING implored the blessing of GOD that the bond between KING and people might be consoli dated, and cordially greeted the Chambers, and wished them GOD speed them in their work. In the sitting of the 3d both the Chambers pro ceeded to the election of their President, and it must be confessed that the first act of the Hanoverian Chamber was a vote of want of confidence in the present Ministry. In the First Chamber, the late Ministerial President Count Benigsen, the late Vice- President Hausmann, and the Councillor of the High Court of Appeal, were chosen candidates, from whom the KING will have to select one. The Second Chamber chose the late Minister of the Interior, M. Lindemann, the late Minister of Religious Affairs, Dr. Theodore Meyer, and Dr. Ellisen. M. Linde mann had .55 votes of the 69 members present, and 10 papers were blank. In the sitting of the 4th a Royal Message confirmed the nomina tion of Count Benigsen as President of the First Camber, and of M. Lindeman❑ as Presi dent of the Second. M. Weinhagen moved the address of condolence and congratulation in the Se cond Chamber. He considered that the chief point for condolence was that the late KING bad been taken from them before he had been able to fulfil his promise of introducing the new organisation which he had granted his subjects, and that the remainder of his days had been embittered by the conduct of a small part of his subjects. That with regard to the congratulations to be addressed to the son of the late KING, it was but to express the earnest hope of the Chambers that he would immediately carry out the organic laws gua ranteed to the country by his lather. The Hon. Member concluded by passing a severe censure upon the new KING for having unwisely, as he termed it, availed himself of his constitutional privilege of dismissing his father's Ministers, and appointing a new Cabinet. Several members fol lowed on the same side, but M. Lehzen protested against such an unheard-of address, by which the Chamber would at the very outset be assuming a hostile attitude, not only highly unbecoming, but most impolitic, because, though it was true that the KING had made use of his right to appoint a new Ministry, it by no means followed that he thereby intended to rescind the last promise made by the late KING to his people. The President, M. Lindemann, took the same view ; and after several other members had spoken, the Chambers appointed a committee of five members to prepare a simple address of condolence and congratulation. A similar scene took place in the First Chamber.— Hamburgh Correspondent, Dec. 7. HOLLAND. DIE HAGUE, DEC. 10.—According to intelli gence received from his MATESTY'S Consul• General in London, the British Government has presented the sum of 101. sterling to Captain VAN DEB GARciA., captain of the Netherlands barque Maria Johanna ; and 151. sterling to the crew of the same vessel, for their humane conduct in rescuing the crew of her Britannic MAJESTY'S ship, the Sultan. ITALY. The Piedinontese Gazette, of the Bth, states that the late events in France having engrossed the public attention at Turin, the Government has taken proper precautions to prevent the circulation of false news. It adds that advantage bad been taken of the general excitement to spread false reports as to the intentions of his Sardinian MA/ESTY ; but that all rumours of a concordat having been concluded, of proclamations and sudden determinations come to in high quarters, have not the slightest claim to the belief of the public. We understand that Mr. Charles Macdouall, Pro fessor of Greek in Queen's College, Belfast, is candidate for the Greek chair in the University of Edinburgh, vacant by the death of Professor Dunbar; and it is understood that the field will be taken also by Dr. Schmitz of the High School, Professor Blackie of Aberdeen, the Rev. J. Hannah, the rector of the Edinburgh Academy, a , d Mr. E. Kirkpatrick, who bad the superintendence of the Greek class during Pro fessor Dunbar's illness.— Scotsman. We understand that Mr. B. Peacock, Q C., is to have the appointment of Legal Member of the Supreme Council of India, rendered vacant by the death of the late Mr. Urinkwater Bethune. — Chronicle. EAST INDIA. HOUSE.—On Wednesday, a Court of Directors was held at the East India-house, when Captain Sir Henry J. Leeke, H.N , appointed Superintendent and C o mmander-in-Chief of the Indian Navy, was sworn in. BLACIEWALL RAILWAY.—This company are about to improve their City terminus in Fenchurch-street. GARROTTE ROBBERY.—Another daring garrotte robbery was committed on Monday evening, about half-past five o'clock, At that time a gentleman was on his way from Red Bank to his house in York-street, Cheetham, near the Independent Chapel. He had, as we understand, reached a passage between Lower Stocks-street and Fernie-street, not far from Cheetham Hill-road, when he was attacked from behind by three men. One of the assailants threw his win round the gentleman's neck, as is usual in this species of robbery, and compressed his throat so tightly as nearly to produce strangulation ; while the other two robbed him of a silver lever watch, with a gold guard chain attached, and a purse containing four sovereigns and about ten shillings in silver. The gentleman remained insensible upon the ground a short time, during which the daring thieves got off se curely, and they have not since been heard of, although the police are engaged in an active search. The gentleman continues to suffer rather severely, from the compression of his throat, but no very serious consequences are apprehended. We understand that in the locality of the robbery there are many new streets, some of which are very insufficiently lighted, while others have no gas lights at all. At the further end of Fernie street there is a light, but it is not such as to enable a person to recognise an assailant, when so suddenly attacked. There can be no doubt the gentleman had been watched a short time, if not waited for, as the spot selected was the most convenient in the neighbourhood for such a robbery.—Manchester Guardian. THE MURDER IN SOMERSETSHIRE.-BATH, DEC. 11.—The coroner's inquest to inquire into the death of George Bush, who was brutally murdered on the Ist inst., at Priston, a village a few miles from this city, as already stated in The Sun, was resumed to-day by R. Uphill, Esq., coroner for the eastern division of Somerset, at the Ring of Bells, Priston, the house where the deceased man was drink ing shortly before his death. After a lengthened inquiry, the evidence not being conclusive against the suspected parties, the jury returned an open verdict to the effect that the deceased was found murdered. WHITTINGTON CLUB.-0a Wednesday evening Mr. Perry gave a grand concert here, on which occasion was performed his sacred cantata of " Belshazzar's Feast," the solo parts being well sustained by Mrs. A. Newton, Misses H. Caudell, Collins, Mr. Manley, and Mr. J. Basham. The second part consisted of selections from the classical compo sitions of Bach, Handel, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, and Mendelssohn, and a few favourite modern compositions. Among the latter, Mr. John Manley gave poor Alexander Lee's beautiful ballad, " When wilt thou meet me Love," with exquisite taste and finish. We had nearly forgotten to mention, and it would have been unpardonable had we done so, the beautiful manner in which Miss Caudell rendered the grand scena from Norma." Casts Diva" ; it deserved all the applause that was awarded it. The concert was very y and fashionably attended. THE SHARE MARKETS unrras XI RAILWAYS. Paid.
