SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 185 LAMARTINE, the founder of the French Republic, has pronounced his views in reference to the Presi dency. Addressing his countrymen through the columns of his journal the Pays, he has weighed in the balance of his judgment the merits of the dif ferent candidates. Notwithstanding, moreover, his acknowledged " repugnance" to the name, he has as serted his preference for BONAPARTE! Among all those whose claims have hitherto been advanced, he considers the present Chief Magistrate the aspirant best entitled to the suffrages of the population. LA" MARTINE, of course, in avowing thus much, accom. panies the avowal with two or three provisos. The re-election of Louis NAPOLEON he considers advisa ble only conditionally. For example, he regards as a matter of course essential, that prior to his re-elec tion the Prince should be capable of being constitu tionally nominated by the previous revision .of the 44th article of the Constitution, regarding it also as absolutely necessary that he should restore universal suffrage to the nation, that he should give additional pledges of loyalty to the Republic, and that he should not be opposed by some other citizen more entitled to the general esteem and the national con fidence. For the founder of th e pr esen t d emocra ti c institutions of France, the once chivalrous supporter of the BOURBON, the panygerist of the Girondists, and the caricaturist of NAPOLEON, confesses at once with all imaginable bluntness that he would prefer simple citizens, instead of Princes, as the candidates for the Presidency. LAMARTINE'S enumeration of those names which have recently been brought under public consideration by their respective supporters is admirable to a high degree fur its succinctness. ".The Prince DE JOIN• VILLE ?" he asks—replying instantly and emphatically "No !" Because, he argues, if the Prince DE JOIN.. VILLE is a Republican, the consequence of his election would be worse than war, for under those circum stances there would be a war with his own family. Whereas if he is a monarchist, his election would be a treason to the Republic. " A candidate of the So cialist party ?" he inquires—exclaiming at once with impassioned earnestness " No. " Because, according to him, society would inevitably recoil before a name filling it with hor ror and trepidation. " A military candidate ?" he continues—adding , " No." Because, in his view of French history, the sword has already played too conspicuous a part, ever since the memorable lath Brumaire. Besides he insists, with no little truth in his argument, "a soldier finding himself embarrassed in the difficulties of liberty would throw us into a war "—observing very admirably, and as it were sotto voce, " and the Republic cannot become firmly founded except in peace." "A Republican of, restricted sentiments ?" he demands next, implying is the in quiry some candidate such as has been recently in sinuated in the columns of the Siècle—adding there upon, distinctly and explicitly, and as it were with a redoubled emphasis, arising out of a feeling of abso lute indignation—" No! " Because, remarks the distinguished publicist, in explanation of his rejection of that, as well as the preceding candidateships, " an intolerant Republican, tracing a circle round him the length of his own shadow, and saying to a great nation, All that does not think with me must not think at all,' would speedily disgust the proper pride of France, for France," says LAMARTINE, with a beautiful mingling of truth and simplicity, " France is proud—she may endure what oppresses her, n?ver what humiliates her." With that brilliant sentence—which affords may be an unintentional explanation of the downfal of the last dynasty—the founder of the French Re public arrives at the completion of the present list of candidates. Each of these personages, as we have seen, he n-jects with scorn—he regards their accept ance by the cation as destructive to Republicanism, and therefore it is that in preference to their names he declares himself in favour of BONAPARTE, much as that great name is calculated to excite in his bosom feelings of suspicion and repugnance. BONAPARTE he considers to be the worthiest candidate yet before the electors of France, " because," says he, " with that name constitutionally re-elected on pledges given, we should have a chance at least of preserving the Re- public, and with the others we should not have any." " Therefore," says he, " BONAPARTE." Nevertheless, though acknowledging himself thus far predisposed in favour of the Presidential preten pion of the Prince Louis NAPOLEON, M. DE LAMARTINE does not by any means despair of seeing some yet more deserving candidate for the position of Chief Magistrate rise into public notice before tho period for the election has arrived. In that event, of course, be would abandon the in terests of " BONAPARTE" and advocate the cause of his rival for the national acceptance. Sanguine, even now, that some such personage as the one he has here dimly foreshadowed may spring into general consi- deration, be closes his arguments in regard to the Presidency with an ejaculation decidedly oriental in its character, but still of course not the less patriotic, exclaiming, " France is rich and GOD 16 great !" Why not himself? If the Republic is to have a simple citizen for PRESIDENT, why not its Founder Can this be the deduction intended by LAMARTINE ? The men of Manchester have ever assumed a pro minent position in every national movement. They have generally, we believe we might say invariably, occupied the van in every contest for liberal principles and the enforcement of the people's rights. It is unnecessary to say how much they have accomplished even within the last twenty years. To their efficient and indefatigable exertions may be ascribed the suc cess of the Reform Bill, the modern charter of the national liberties, which admitted the democratic element to a certain constitutional position in the State. That position was not, perhaps, as elevated as might have been desired, but it was a step in the right direction, and was thankfully received, not as a final arrangement, but as a reasonable instalment of justice. Although the suffrage was not sufficiently extended, or nomination boroughs completely annihi lated, the popular power was clearly recognised by the different branches of the Legislature, and the voice of public opinion listened to with respectful at tention. It constituted a new era in British history, and the proceedings of the men of Manchester, while the question was yet in suspense, will attract no ordi nary share of the attention of any impartial histo rian as being the most zealous, active, and determined of any of the popular cohorts. Some time afterwards the public attention was prominently directed to a practical grievance of the most iniquitous and intolerable character. The food of the entire people was heavily taxed for the benefit of a particular party. The overtoiled operative found that the daily bread which he was enabled to provide for his children was reduced in quantity and deterio rated in quality through the operation of the infamous corn-laws. All groaned under the burden, but the men of Manchester were the first to resolve upon an organized opposition to the unholy impost. I n a small beck room in Manchester the Anti-Corn-law League sprang into existence. Seven men met to gether to consider the steps that should be adopted for the purpose of abating the nuisance. They had no extraordinary political influence—could not command the return of a single Member to the House of Corn. mons—nor were they decorated with titles of honour ; but, firm in the justice of their cause, confident that truth must ultimately prevail, they fearlessly arranged their plans, and within seven years they had achieved a political triumph unparalleled in the an any nation of the world. " The S even " were I Dais of LONDON, at t' he head of countless and enthusiastic myriads, ) had arrayed themselves under the banner of Free Trs de, and they achieved a bloodless revolution. T rhs I victory was gained over the mighty and power ft) d, over men abounding in wealth, rich in broad ac re s, the only weapons employed being those of ref son and argument. It was the men of Man ch, aster, the true representatives of the industrious, po) ?ula.tion of the country, who gained the victory,, awl to whom we are chiefly indebted for the abolition. of w any restrictions on the trade and commerce of the 'country. 0 ace more the veterans who participated in these struggles are in the field, aided by young and. vigc , rous men, anxious to discharge their duties pats iots, and to be enabled to say to their children, sts thei '7 parents did to themselves—" We, too, assisted in the attainment of those reforms to which the welfare and prosperity, the tranquillity and happiness of the conntry is, under PROVIDENCE, mainly to be attri.- bu tea." And the object is one of no less importa , lce than those already alluded to. They met in the Fr ec trade Hall, the monument of their former triumphs, but, although the spaciou3 building was construct 2d to hold ten thousand persons, it was far too limitod to accommodate, or even to contain, the multitudes who flocked to its portals. Every portion of available space was crowded to the very utmost, but numbers were necessarily excluded, who continued to thunder at the door in a fruitless attempt to obtain admission, until the conclusion of the proceedings, when their more fortunate brethren who had succeeded in gaining standing room were called upon to narrate all that had taken place to anxious groups of the excluded. Each of those favoured individuals was invested with a temporary importance, which insured him an at tentive auditory not only for the evening, but for a much longer period. This magnificent reception was given to a deputa tion from the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association, to learn the progress that had been made, and decide on the course to be followed with respect to the new Reform Bill of 1852. That we shall have a measure relating to the franchise cannot be doubted, but whether it will prove acceptable to the great body remains involved in mystery. What we know of it is unquestionably favourable, for we have the distinot, positive, and unequivocal promise of the First Lord of the Treasury, of the introducer of the Reform Bill of 1831, that one of its features shall be the abolition of the property qualification of Members of Parliament, the removal of the existing restriction on the freedom of choice of constituencies, who could not select the person whom they thought best qualified to represent their wants and wishes, unless he were in the enjoyment of a certain annua income arising from accumulated and realized prof perty. Incomes derived from the practice of any learned profession, or the profits of manufacturing, commercial, or trading pursuits, would be quite sufficient to insure the visits of the tax collector No distinction arising from the sources from whence it was derived could be taken for fiscal purposes; but it was widely different when any privilege was to be conferred. Then, indeed, the profits of industry were treated with contempt, and the man who ao- quired thousands per annum by intellectual labour was placed in an inferior grade to the illiterate and booby possessor of three hundred pounds per annum. And even if unanimously chosen by any English or Irish constituency, he could not take his seat unless he condescended to purchase the qualification, which could notoriously be obtained for 501., or at the out- side 1001., by any person willing to evade the law a the land. We may, at all events, draw propitiow auguries as to the other provisions of the new B. from the certainty that this anomaly, at least, will be removed. There will also, unquestionably, be a considerable extension of the franchise. The intimations to Mr. LocKE KING, and other zealous reformers, which induced them to forbear from following up the successes they had achieved, removed all doubt on this part of the case. But we are ignorant, as yet, of the nature or amount of the contem- plated extension, and it is necessary that the people should speak out plainly and unequivocally on the subject, and show the minimum amount with which they will be contented. It is also necessary that they should give expression to their sentiments on the im portant questions of the ballot, the duration of Parlia ment, and the more equal apportionment of Members to population. The men of Manchester assembled on Wednesday for that purpose, and the magnificent de. monstration on that occasion roust have considerable effect In resolving any doubts that may enter into the minds of the framers of the new Reform Bill for 852. SEARCH FOR SIR J. FRANKLIN. The following important letter has been received and posted at Lloyd's this morning : " Felix Discovery Vessel, Stranraer, " Sept. 25, 1851. _ " am to acquaint you that the American vessels Advance and Rescue, after wintering in the ice in Baffin's Bay, put into Godhaven (Leifk) in Disco, sailed from thence on the 21st June, 1851, and were spoken off Proaen in Greenland on the 24th August, on their way to America, after a fruitless search after the missing ships. They have been sickly, and lost one or two men, but were now all well. " The Danish Government brig lloalfesken ar rived at Godhaven in company with the Felix on the 30th August, was to sail from thence on the 10,h Sept. for 1(ron Prius Island, end thence to Copen. hagen ; all well. " The Felix parted with all the other discovery ships on the 13th August, sailed from Godbaven on the 2d September, and arrived here this day under my charge. Signed, " JOHN ROS 9, " Rear-Admiral R.N. To the Secretary, Lloyd's, London. " traces of the missing ships were found since they wintered at Beechey Island, and left it in September, 1846." THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH (THIS DAY.) LATEST PARTICUL ARS. SUN OFFICE, Three o'Clock. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) An attempt was yesterday made to take the cable on shore, hut, in consequence of the high winds, it was considered unsafe to take the Moaar in so close on a lee shore as was intended. A buoy was securely attached to the end of the cable, which was thrown overboard at about low water mark. An additional length of cable will, by this circumstance, be required to carry it up beyond high water mark, and when prepared, the end can be readily hoisted out of the water, and the junction effected. But for this cir cumstance and the breakage of the tow-line of the Blazer, when about half-way across the Straits, which allowed her to drift about a mile and a half out of her course, the quantity of cable pro vided would have been amply sufficient. As it is, the extra length required can be completed within a few days. Up to the time the end of the cable was thrown overboard the communication with the English coast was perfect. SWEARING IN OF THE SHERIFF 3 OF LONDON.--This morning a public breakfast was given at the Cord• wainers' Hall to the Sheriffs, Sheriffs Elect, and Members of the Corporation of the City of London, after which they proceeded to the Guildhall, and the Sheriffs for the ensuing year were duly sworn in. Lord J. Russell will arrive at Richmond on the 12th of October, and a Cabinet Council will be held at the Foreign-office on Tuesday, the 14th. THE PARISIAN OPERA.—The re-opening of the Italian Opera in Paris is now looked forward to with great interest. It is announced that Mr. Lumley, the popular im pressario, is expected in Paris on the Ist of October, and that the opening of the house will take place on the 14th. Already the choruses and orchestra are in full rehearsal, under the able direction of M. Hiller. The programme for the season is not yet published; the only names spoken of are those of Cruvelli, Barbieri NU, Lablacbe, and Belletti. Madame Sontag is in Paris, on her way to Germany. Madame Grio and M. Mario have arrived in Paris en route to the Russian capital ; Tamburini is also on his way thither, and DI. Alary will follow shortly after. M. Ella, the director of the Musical Union of London, has been in Paris for the last few days, on his way to Germany. The barytone Coletti is at present singing at Rome; he is engaged for the next carnival at Venice. POWER'S STATUE OF EVE.—This celebrated statue, which was lost with the Swedish ship Westmorland, off Cape Paloe, on the 3d of May, 1850, has been recovered and is now in this city, having arrived in the British schooner Vol°, from Carthagena, consigned to Meisrs. Ripley and Cameron. It is gratifying to know that this tine production of our native artist is in good order, save a slight injury to the pedeatalt—Zap Paper, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1851 THE FRENCH REPUBLIC, We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Opposition journals contain long and violent exticles against M. LEON FAUCHER, for his speech at 'the agricultural meeting of Chalon-sur-Marne. In directly the PRESIDENT of the Republic has his share of abuse for having just bestowed a mark of distinc tion upon this Minister. The way in which this dis tinction has been conferred, as well as the act itself, is severely censured. It will be remembered that the PRESIDENT of the Republic had irregularly nominated M. LEON FAUCHER a commander of the Legion of Honour, without his having passed through the intermediate grades. This error has been cor rected. Two decrees, successively appointing him knight and officer of the Legion, have been pub lished in the Aloniteur, and a third decree will probably appear, giving bim the rank of commander. These decrees are complained of as being contrary to the statutes of the order, which declare that a man must be four years a knight before he can be made an officer, he must be two years an officer before he can be made a commander. But it is admitted that the chief of the Government has, by the same statutes, the power of passing over the restriction as to time when he wishes to reward extraordinary services. The Opposition journals, in admitting this, do not admit that M. LEON FAUCHER is entitled to the benefits of the exception contained in the statutes. They do not recognise his extraordinary services. On this point, however, the appreciation does not belong to them, but to the chief of the Government. The Moniteur publishes a decree promoting Co lonels EYNARD , MONTAUBAN, and GI R A UDAN t o th e rank of Generals of Brigade. The same paper con tradicta a report, given by some of the papers, to the effect that the punishment of two of the persona convicted of having taken part in the murder of General BREA had been commuted. The Echo of Valenciennes states that some dis turbances took place two days back, at Crepin, in consequence of the French workmen misinterpreting the order issued by the Prefect of Police, relative to foreigners making their declaration to the authorities. The French workmen thought that they had a right to expel the Belgian workmen, and proceeded to do so amidst cries of " A bas les Beiges !" It was found necessary at last to send for a party of cuirassiers to restore order. An investigation has been ordered into the affair. Three suicides were committed on Thursday. One was by a dressmaker, named DEMEUX, Rue de la Laborde, who suffocated herself by the fumes of charcoal, from, it is supposed, misery; the second was by a street-sweeper, who threw himself from the third story of a house in construction in the Rue d'Astorg ; the third was by a workman, named Gus noucEs, who cut his throat in the water-closet of his lodgings, Rue de Faubourg St. Martin. An experiment is being now made at the station at Chelles, on the Strasbourg Railway, of an ingenious piece of mechanism for receiving and depositing let ter-bags without stopping the trains. The accounts from the wine districts in the south of France are far from satisfactory. It does not ap pear that the blight has been general, but the long continued drought will, it is said, cause a great dimi nution in the quantity of wine as compared with average crops.

A good deal of this was taken by Allen and Anderson. The following, from the Circular of Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy, and published by Mr. J. Irvine,. of Liver pool, gives the annual statement of the Cotton Market at New Orleans, up to the Ist of September:- " On the eve of a new campaign, we beg leave to fol low up our custom in submitting to our friends a con densed review of the business transacted in our staple articles during the season, which is about being closed, and to add to it some remarks, suggested to our mind, about the prospects of the growing crops, and the turn which, under the now existing circumstances, business is likely to take for the ensuing campaign. " The Cotton Market opened late in the fall last year at elevated prices, say 13c. for middling, which, owing to unfavourable accounts, representing the crops of 1850 as having materially suffered by frost, simultane ously with good adviees from Liverpool, rose in the middlo of October to the highest point, 131 c. for mid dling descriptions. " Ever since that time they have been tending down wards, a few fluctuations only excepted, until, in August, they reached their lowest point, say 6ic. for strictly middling. " Such an enormous fall of prices, and, what is more, such a rapid decline in Europe as well as here, is almost unprecedented in the commercial annals, and no ample and sufficient reason that would justify the same can be produced. The main cause which led to this was, no doubt, the mistaken crop estimates made at the begin ning of the campaign, and which were admitted by the majority of the community. Some were in the belief that the crop would not be larger than last year; others, more liberal in their ideas, mentioned 2,200,000, and the few that opposed themselves to the generally adopted opinion stuck to 2,500 000 or 2,600,000 bales. The ge neral opinion, however, was concentrated in a quantity of from 2,200,000 or 2.250,000 bales, and was sustained until April or May, when the increase in the receipts hinted at a larger amount. flow vague all these estimates were the result has shown, for, according to tables made out up to the present date, the receipts amount to 2,331,464 bales; and when the receipts at all the ports up to date shall be definitely known, will perhaps reach 2.350,000 bales. " When iu Europe they began to know the large re ceipts in this country, which, indeed, appeared strongly to contrachet the small estimates of the crop; and when other estimates, of from 2,400,000 to 2,600,000 bales were sent out by various houses, both from here and from the north, confidence began to be shaken in the article; prices gave way, and many shipments, directed to weak houses that could not hold on, were forced upon the market, and prices further depressed thereby. The heavy losses on such shipments could only tend to in crease the distrust, and to deter those who were not yet involved in serious difficulties by former shipments from operations in the article. " A panic finally seized upon the Liverpool market, causing an unprecedented downfall of prices, the more so as the time was already so far advanced that all eyes were turned upo❑ the prospects of the now growing crop, which, if unfavourable, could alone have checked any further depreciation in the value of the staple; but these, at the time, it must be owned, were highly flat tering, and all European markets, as well as those in the United States, followed the Liverpool market in its downward course. During the last two or three weeks more cheering accounts from Liverpool have reached us, giving evidence of an impression gaining ground that they had reached the lowest point, and that, if not a rapid, a steady improvement was at hand. " We had long ago anticipated a change for the better, having, as already mentioned, never seen sufficient rea son for the existing panic, and are now the more in clined to believe that the reaction which at last has taken place, will be a lasting one, as the stock in Liver pool, which had been allowed to accumulate until el late, has, within the last few weeks, experienced a gradual and material reduction; and it would appear to us, as far as we are enabled to base our calculations on the statistics of imports, consumption, &c., of the present and former years, that the stock there at the end of this year will be shorter than in former years. The con sumption during the first seven months was 2.1,472 bales American, or 31,700 bales of all sorts a week, and it is well known that the same has increased lately. Taking now the stock in Great Britain en the 31st of July, 1851, of American. All Sorte, 560,757 792,800 IProbable stock on the 31st of December, 1851 ... 257,155 440,497 " As regards the prospects for the new crop, they are far less promising now than earlier in the season. A long-continued drought in nearly all the Cotton-grow ing districts has, impeded the growth of the rlant, and by the injury thereby caused in all the Uplands, en enormous crop of perhaps 1,000,000 bales is placed out of the question. From the Lowland section, where until now the prospects have been brilliant, less favourable reports have also of late come to hand, as in many lo calities the boll-worm has made its appearance; in others dam‘ige done by rot is complained of. "It is of course, premature to venture, at the present time, an opinion about the extent of the probable yield; we do not hesitate, however, to contradict the opinion carelessly put forward by various parties, that never were the prospects for a large crop more promising than this year. We all know, from experience, that dry weather in August and S e pt em b er p rom otes the produc tion by forcing the forms and bolls, and bringing every bloom to full maturity; a drought in June and July, however, as has been experienced this season, has the reverse effect—the fruit ripens prematurely, the plant becomes stunted in growth, and the production thus lessened. The weather of the next few weeks will be of 'rite' importance to the plant; a continued drought will check second growth of the Plant in time to bring dou Paid. Nominal Prices.

The Sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for ex port. The market closed steadily.—The Share Market was flat, at lower prices. The assets of the Bank of England continued to in crease during last week, while the circulation of notes fell off. This is attributable, however, not to diminished busi ness but to an accumulation of deposits, both belonging to the national Exchequer and private merchants. The dis count s, or loans, increased to some extent, but these will be speedily repaid after the re-opening of the transfer books. The bullion was augmented by the recent ar rivals, but not to the full extent of them, part having been re-shipped. Compared with the previous week, the changes are as follows : Cotton to maturity ; on the other hand, CO? continuous r a i n ., ma y cause the plant to run ~ to weed, may c a u se shedding of bolk, prodtio, and render an early frost more than usua ll y 10 Under such circumstancee, we do not g il l: on estimates already put forward, which 2,500,000 bales; we deem it, however, of intetesoid: skier whether a crop of more than that figur°, lc ;gi sufficient caue to keep prices d at a very '°,," ard.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.—The sc rew steaineiTbr, on of Glasgow, sailed from Philadelphi a daily ~peated to 200,000 dollars in specie On freight, and da[l.eY °- arrive at this port. AUSTRIA: The Emperor of AUSTRIA. arrived at Monza on the 19,h instant, and at Milan on the 21st. He was re• ceived in state by the public authorities, and cheered by the spectators. The Duke of LEUCHTENBERG arrived at Verona on the 20th. The news from Prague has of late been discourag ing to the friends of a united Austria. A citizen was convicted of an attempt to corrupt the soldiers, and sentenced to four years' hard labour in irons as a punishment for the offence. Drum-head law has been, in consequence, again proclaimed in cases of this description. Another man was found to have in his possession a quantity of arms and combustible mate rial. He was sentenced to two years' imprisonment i❑ a fortress. The military government at Prague has, therefore, issued a proclamation enforcing anew all the conditions of " a state of siege" that had b3en relaxed in favour of the citizens. The following significant paragraph appears in the Jewish Chronicle, from a Vienna correspondent, of the 16th inst.:— "At length I ca❑ break my long silence. In this land of intolerance and iro❑ despotism it is dangerous to speak, nay, almost to oven think, for we should be pu nished for our thoughts could the police spy become master of them. You may, then, well consider how much more risk one runs in writing. By a friend, how ever, not an Austrian, I an glad to write to convey to you the pleasing intelligence, that at length the. Jews in this part of the Austrian dominions know their power. You are aware that tho Emperor requires another loan of 8,000,0001.; at first, the moneyen Jews kept aloof, or at most looked coolly on, because of the crusade against the religious liberty of other religious denominations than the State one—viz., the Roman Catholic. The Go vernment, finding that the Jews would resent any depri vation of their religious liberties by withholding their assistance to the loan, ordered the Governor of Hungary to assure them that it was not the Emperor's intention to deprive them of any of their newly-acquired liberties. i Since this assurance the rich Jewish bankers of Vienna have exerted themselves with all their might in aid of the loan." Prince METTERNICH arrived at Vienna on the 212 d inst. HOLLAND. The Staats Courant announces the conclusion of the treaty of trade and commerce between the Netherlands and Belgium. The Dutch papers add, that the Netherlands Government has given notice that it is disposed to grant the same privileges to the states of the Zollverein which it has conceded to Belgium. A treaty has been concluded between the Nether lands and France, whereby the same privileges are ex tended to vessels bearing the French flag which are enjoyed by the Netherlands vessels, as far as export duties are concerned. RUSSIA AND POLAND. The Russian Government has published a status of Polish literature during the past year. It appears from this document that the number of new MS. works submitted to the censorship in 1850 was 359, being 19 more than the preceding year. Of these 359 works—nearly all of which are scientific works, the majority treating of theology, jurisprudence, and medicine-327 have bean allowed to go to press, 4 have been rejected, 15 have been returned to the authors to be modified, and 15 have remained in the hands of the Committee for further consideration and judgment. ln 1850 the number of works introduced into Po land was 15,986, in 15,141 volumes, being 749 works less than in 1849, but an excess of volumes by 1,021. FATAL ACCIDENT IN RICHMOND-PARR..—A melan choly accident, which has been attended with fatal conse quences, occurred in Richmond-park on Tuesday afternoon, It appeared that a gentleman, who, with his wife and family, was sojourning at Richmond, and residing in Richmond green, was taking a drive in the park in his phaeton, accom panied by his daughter and niece, when by some accident the horse took fright and became entirely unmanageable, rushing off at desperate speed, until the vehicle came in vio lent collision with another carriage, causing the gentleman and ladies to be thrown out with great force and the carriage smashed to pieces. We regret to find that the gentleman, who was far advanced in years, has since expired of the in juries which he received, and that his daughter, who was greatly injured, is in a precarious state. The poor old gen tleman never spoke afterwards, and the shock to his wife on his being brought home may be conceived. The melancholy accident has caused great regret in the place, where they were much respected. AMERICAN BLOOMERISM AND FRENCH COSTUME. —lt is somewhat strange that at a moment when an attempt is being so strenuously prosecuted i❑ America to approxi mate the female dress to that of man, the French should abso lutely have made an advance in that direction as bold as it has proved successful. We allude to the introduction of the Gilets, cut out by Parisian tailors, which are worn with loose jackets. These Gilets are really very becoming, and our own sex appear to have surrendered themselves nothing loth to the innovation. They are of various materials, embroidered or elaborately trimmed, and, whe❑ additionally adorned with pendant buttons of pearl and other gems, they have a truly charming effect. It was to these Gilets we slightly alluded when mentioning the preparations making by the Messrs. Jay, of Regent-street, for the coming season, of which these are the novelties. We can confidently add, that they have been adopted by the leaders of ton, and will be worn in the highest circles. The cloaks and millinery are likewise in comparably more tasteful than we have seen of late, the best examples of the best periods of various nations having been carefully chosen. BRICKMASING EXTRAORDINARY.—A correspondent states that twelve moulders employed by Messrs. Herois and Rutter, in a field near Uxbridge, have 'nada the enormous quantity of 10,875,000 bricks during the season of twenty two weeks just ended. This quantity will give an average of 906,015 bricks for each moulder. One moulder made 1,046,000, and another made 1,023,000.—The Builder. The trial of the locomotives on the Mont Sem mering has terminated. The prize of 20,000 ducats (1,0000 has been awarded to the Bavaria, a locomotive ccnstructed by M. Matfoi ' of Munich. In informing M. Maffoi of the granting of the prize, the Austrian Government, in accord ance with the conditions laid down, gave him an order for 20 other locomotiyed of the name hind.
