In France especially he has wituessed the revival of that republican form of government which it was thought that kingeraft bad for ever de stroyed in those dominions—the Phrygian cap again replacing the royal diadem of the Bourbons. Yes ! such has been the fate reserved, es if in expiation, for the son of Egalite, his vanity and his ambition quail ing at last before the majestic lineaMents of that Freedom which he himself had endeavoured to strangle with his embraces, to betray, like the iscarttoT, with his kiss, and to poison by the nar cotic influence of his insidious and pernicious blandishments ! As if to consummate to the very uttermost this astounding series of retributions, he was compelled, moreover, to see the election as first magistrate of the French Republic, the spontaneous election, by universal suffrage and the ballot, of the heir of that wonderful hero who was both an Emperor and a King, that SESOCTEIS of the nineteenth cen tury, who fulfilled his destinies by rendering demo cracy respectable, clothing it with the purple of the Italian C.CiARS, and crowning it with the golden crown of CHARLEMAGNE! Again, the lovely vision of the Girondists was realised, again the throne of the ancient dynasty was replaced by the curule chair of an unanointed magistrate, again the baubles of a corrupt court were spurned from the palaces, and the rights of the multitude redeemed— this time, however, the labour of emancipation was accomplished, not by carnage but by magnanimity, not by ferocity but by virtue, not by confiscation, and robbery, and massacre, but by the preservation of property, by the prevention of theft, and by the abolition of death to political offenders on the guillotine. It was by a touching dispensation of PROVIDENCE that Louts Puneers was permitted to survive his own downfall so long as to enable him to witness, not only the ulterior consolidation of Repub licanism in France, but the selection by the French people as their first Republican President of the re presentative of the Imperial family of NAPOLEON. Having continued in existence until that latest and not least significant act of the French multitude had transpired, he cannot be said to have passed from amongst us prematurely, although until recently his frame seemed to give promise of its remaining many years longer robust and vigorous. Scarcely affected in any perceptible degree by his almost in numerable and most astounding vicissitudes, the re markable personage who expired yesterday morning at Claremont appears to have had his health undermined by the gnawings of remorse and by the shock of his last thunderbolt of consternation. ,ks Due DR VALOIS,. in his infancy, he was little sup posed to be reserved for so many triumphs and so many calamities, for so much anguish and so much exultation, for such abrupt and perpetually varying fluctuations of fortune. Scarcely more could this aave been conjectured when, as Duc DE CHARTRES, he was listenit,g to the tuition of the Chevalier BoN NARD, or standing at the knees of Madame DE GENLIS, when he was commanding his regiment at B su and Q tarignon, or reaping early laurels on he fields of Valmy and Jemappes. Nor would it have been less difficult fir him to have foreseen, .vhc n Due D'Osesaris at Twickenham, that he would reign more than seventeen years as King Louis PHILIPPE in the Tuilleries, any more than it would nave been possible for him, when, as Mr. CORBY, he acted as mathematical schoolmaster in Switzer. land, to perceive himself, l o ng afterwards, as Mr. SMITH, flying yet once more as a refugee across the Channel to England. From the multiplicity of his wanderings he has been not unfrequently spoken .f as the modern ULTIMO, his footsteps having passed at different periods over the greater parts of France and England, through Switzerland, Spain, lamburgh, Belgium, Lapland, Finland, Stockholm, Freidrichetadt, New Orleans, the United States, the ilivannah, H tlifax, Malta, M:ssina, Gibraltar, Palermo, and through numberless other quarters of he globe, now traversing the sunny roads of Tarra gona, now penetrating the arctic circle within ighteen degrees of the pole. his sagacity during a age portion of his reign over the French d eople as their constitutional Sovereign obtained or him the magnificent designation of the NAPOLEON r PEACE, a title which sub:.eqeent events proved o be egregiously inappropriate. The aspect in which t is most agreeable to consider his character that of his domestic relations, in which lig ex eneersry was up to the, hour of his leath in every conceie able respect most exem elary. As a brother his of ction was unceas eg in its tenderness, as was shown conspicu• ugly on the occasions of the demise of the Duo DE MONTrENSIER, in 1807, at Twickenham, o' the Count DS BEAUJOLAIS, in 1808, at tlalta, and of . the Princess ADELAIDE, in 1847, at the Tuileries. As a father his devotion was earnest, even -.0 the length of extravagance, a fact painfully revealed it the deathbed of his eldest born the Due D'ORLEAN., Ind subsequently, and yet more painfully, in hose intrigues for the pecuniary and dynastic ad van !Age of his children, which tended to precipitate his ) Ain overthrow by the last revolution. As a husband his worth has received a noble attestation in the un changing attachment shown towards him by the part. ner of all his joys and sorrows, the widowed and vene rable Queen Asa ELIE. Those gentle qualitieswill go tat towards mitigating the severity of the future annalist when the duty devolves upon him of estimating the , character of the deperted Prince, Lots PHILIPPE D ' ORLEANS. When summit.g up the phases of his protean ten perament and completing the 53 nopsis of Is versatile and supple intellect, the historian will refer doubtless, in extenuation of his errors, nut to the iccomplit.husents of the Prince, to the learning of the scholar, to the valour of the soldier, to the adroit n-ss of the statesman, or to the skill of the royal dsphseustias, but to those humbler merits which re dound to his real glory as a man, to the sweetness and the strength, and the beauty of those af fections which prove his heart to have actuated him aright, even when his bead was guiding him slung paths of chicane, luring him thither by in fluences of the most erroneous duplicity. Insomuch were these the contrasting peculiariaties of his nature, that we may say of the extriterdinery man who has ust expired that the antitheses of his character were .o the full as striking as the chequered aspect a his ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The proceedings on the nomination of the Commit tee of the House of Commons to inquire into the causes of the commercial distress, and the operation of the Bank Charter Act, distinctly showed the transparent humbug of tho so-called investigation that was about to take place. From the moment that the names of its members and the manner in which it was consti- uted were made known, it required no extraordinary , ower of vaticination to foretel the nature of the report that would ultimately be returned. The evi_ lence that might be adduced was a matter of but little importance. It was but too well known tbat an abso lute majority of that Committee had already decided the matter in their own minds, and that nothing could alter their preconceived opinions. The Chancellor of the Exchequer made a great affectation of fairness and impartiality when announci►.g the selection he had made, and by which he abided with the most de terrnined obstinacy. He declared " that he preposed to leave the supporters of the Bill only four," viz .1 Sir R. PEEL, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Sir JAMES GRA HAM, and himself, while there were eleven who had expressed adverse opinions, so that there would b e "an absolute maj irity of seven pledged persons I" This strange assertion, so palpably erroneous, was I: u: permitted to remain uncontradicted. The Hoc. Member for Middlesex, wi:h his usual independrnce: decl Ared that "the House was about to enact a scene from Much Ado about Nothing! and was about to shelve the question ;" while Lord GEoRGE BEINTINCK earnestly protested against the proposition and sug gested several changes, all of which were rejected seriatim, and the mot;on, as originally framed, carried by a considerable majority. Among the so-called neutral members were the President of the B ,ard of Trade, wh' was, of course, beund to take the same views as his colleagues in the Cabinet; Mr. GOULRUEN, who had tied the office of Chancellor ttf the Exebevet when the inculpated Act of 1844 had been carried, and Mr. CARDWELL, alio a member of the ex Ministry ; Sir WILLIAM CLAY, Rho had written and published a pamphlet expressing very decided views in favour of the Act, and Mr. RICARDO, Wh') entertained strong hereditary ep nions on the currency question. In fact, it was clearly and distinctly shown that there were fifteen members of the Committee whose support might be relied on under any circumstances, while there were eleven who, al though not " pledged" in any way, might be con sidered as unfavourat.le to the Act, although their opinions ♦aried very considerably in other respects, and they could not be expected to co• operate cordially together. Immediately after the re-assembling of Parliament the Committee entered upon its labours. A similar inquiry was at the same time commenced by a Select Committee of the House of Lords, which arrived at a very different conclusion from that of the Commons, on precisely the same data. Twenty-six witnesses were examined, two of whom spoke exclusively on the East India trade, the remaining evidence being applicab'e to the Acts of 1844 and 1845. Of these twenty-sour persons, carefully selected, and repre senting the most important interests in the United Kingdom, fair only were favourable to the Act, and anxious to sustain it ; one thought there were disad vantages attending it, but did not express an opinion against it ; while the remaining nineteen witnesses were strongly opposed to it, and considered that the safety of the commercial community required its alteration. The only supporters of the Act were Mr. JONES Lon) (now Lord OYERSTONE), the putative parent of the measure, the Governor and the Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England, and a Director of the Bank, who had been Governor in the year 1844, when.the Bill received the legislative sanction. On the other side were to be found all those deputed by great com mercial bodies to express their views and feelings—the representatives of the London and provincial bankers, of the Chambers of Commerce of Edinburgh and Glasgow; the managers of some of the principal joint stock backs of Scotland and Ireland ; the representa tives of the industry of the north, of Liverpool, Man chester, and Birmingham; two distinguished writers on monetary subjects—Mr. Torlie, whose admirable history of prices attracted so much attention, and Mr- TAYLOR, the consistent and powerful opponent as well of the Act of 1819 as of 1844. Arrayed with these in condemnation of the latter law were to be found the respected names of SaamEn GURNEY, of JOSBUA BATES, a partner in the house of BARING Brothers, and of Joins HORSLEY PALMER, many years a director, and formerly go vernor of the Bank of England, all of whom unhesi tatingly expressed their decided opinions as to the absolute necessity of an immediate amendment of the law, and the impolicy of maintaining the stringent restrictions imposed thereby. It almost unnecessary to say that a body of evidence was obtained from these eminent and expe rienced individuals that would be perfectly conclusive with any unprejudiced and disinterested persons. As we have already stated, however, the nature of the testimony was a matter of but little importance ; it signified nothing whether it might be favourable or unfavourable, exculpatory of, or adverse to, the Act— that was to be sustained perfas aut nefas, " through good report or through bed report." The Com mittee was bound to hear, but not to decide in ac cordance with the evidence. The well-selected ma jority subjected the opponents of the measure to a strict and searching cross-examination. But not withstanding the subtlety and ingenuity of the questions, they were completely foiled in the attempt, their weapons turned against, themselves, and their leaders completely defeated in their intellectual gladiatorship. The investigation finally closed. The Committee refused to hear several gentlemen who offered them selves for examination. The tyrant majority did not wish to accumulate additional evidence in opposition to their own views, and they could not hope to get favourable testimony. The nature of the report was then considered, and after numerous di visions— every position being stoutly contested, every paragraph being made the subject of debate and division—a document of the most mea gre and unsatisfactory character, as powerful an illus tration of the puny and insignificant offipring of the " parturient mountain" as any of modern days, was produced. This " most lame and impotent conclu sion" to a prcceeding heralded by so loud a flourish of Mini,terial trumpets—after stating the names of the vvitnessee, and the "general concurrence of opinion the the primary cause of the distress was the deficien harvest, czpecihlly of the potato crop, i❑ 1846 and the necessity tf providing payment for the unprecedented importations of food which took place in that year " (would it have been so, but for the operation of that most impolitic Act, then on its trial P), and " other causes—the deficient supply of cotton, the railway expenditure, and the undue ex ,ension of credit, which VI ere stated by some of the witnesses to have contributed to the same rezult"— declared that the committee " saw no reason to doubt that these catves had in different degrees, and in different parts of the country, produced the effect thus ascribed to them ;" and " for the further deve lopment of the views entertained on these various pinto, by the gentlemen whom they had examined," referred to the evidence !! This was Thersily all the information given to the expectant community as to the causes of the fearful disasters that had overvihelmed so many princely houses, that had lid tc a crisis of unparalleled inten- city, and a total ce.iiation of credit. The Com- mittee did inquire into " the causes of the commercial distress, and bow fir it had been affected by the laws for regulating the issue of bank-notes payable on demand," but they kept the result of that inquiry to themselves, and did not venture to pronounce an opinion which the con- elusive and incontrovertible evidence produced before them must immediately have disproved. And better that they should have acted in this manner, and evaded the important duty confided to their charge by the Commons House of Parliament, than to have given a prejudiced and erroneous deci.ion on the premises. Ou.• point, however, was decided. Tne report con cluded with these words :—" Your Committee, there tore, after a careful review of all the evidence, are of opiniiin that it is not expedient to make any alterwion in the B ink Act of 1844." This might lead ignorant persone, who did not take the trouble to read the evidence far themselves, to suppose that this judg ment was arrived at in consequence of the evidence that had been produced, not that it was totally op- posed to the entire weight thereof, that it was merely the expression of " a foregone conclusion," of a de- termination formed before a single witness had been examined. It was carried by a majority of two. Sir R. PEEL and Sir C. WOOD determined the question in favour of their own measure, and we regret to say that the vote of Mr. COBDEN was given on their side. Had the Hon. Gentleman supported "free trade in bauking," the numbers would have been equal. Should such a conclusion, so arrived at—in direct opposition to all the facts and circumstances of the case, to the very act of Ministers themselves, which proved that they at least believed that the safety of the nation required the violation of the law—satisfy the great commercial bodies whose representatives were unanimous in condemning the Act, and asserting that the safety of the nation required its alteration ? It could not do so, even if the Lords had remained quiescent, and if it had not been totally opposed by one of the ablest and most satisfactory documents that ever emanated from a Parliamentary Committee, a document to which we shall on a future occasion espe cially direct the public attention.

Coi mina int LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1850. Yesterday it became our melancholy duty to an nounce the demise of Lours PLIILIPPE D'Oetem.s. Our impression of this evening contains the fullest particulars of that extraordinary and chequered ca reer which was then brought to a conclusion. Scarcely any individual whose name is recorded in history ever experienced more remarkable vicissitudes than the exiled Prince who has just breathed h s last at C!aremont. It is, consequently, some what difficult to epitomise, within any reasonable limi s the numerous events constituting thf* more promin"nt features of his biography. Aided, nevertheless, by the chronological notes pencilled b 3 himself during his recent seclusion, the ta.t.k, though still surrounded with obstructions, may prove not altogether impracticable, especially when it is borne in recollection that every circumstance in this asto ni,hing narrative is rendered conspicuous by occur ring in the midstfrof the glare of three successive revolutions. Perhaps no one ever possessed a name coloured by more infamous and more splendid illustrations. Cer tainly no one similarly deriving his titles from an illustrious dynasty ever had, like the subject of our remark., the glory of such titles coun terpoised by the odium of so many criminal and ghastly recollections. The offspring of a Royal house, Louis PHILIPPE wis distinguished also as the son of a regicide. At twenty years of age the most heroic combatant in the battle of Jemappes, at seventy-five he was a cowardly fugitive from the palace of the Tuileries. Deceiving the people in 1793 by participating in the trt-a-onous desertion of Du sousizz, he deceived his SOVEREIGN in 1830 by plotting against his authority at Neuilly. While yet a stripling citizen ha became a member of that Jacobin Club which was the incarna tion of the ultra-democratic principles; when a veteran monarch, sworn to govern his country according to the laws of the constitution, he became disciple of those execrable dogmas which alone actuate despotic governments. Being born at Paris on the 6th of October, 1773, he was enabled to witness the first outbreak of those political passions which were destined through bloodshed and revolt to work out the ultimate regeneration of the European con tinent. By expiring as late as the 26th of August, 1850, he was enabled to witness the realization of the popular dream of liberty. Between those dates are comprised all the agonies of the most sublime struggle, humanly speaking, the world has yet wit nessed, the struggle of the human race to acquire that sacred freedom, half-earthly, hall-celestial, which was the offspring at once of Christianity and Civilizittion. and :religious liberty all over the world, an co an ad vocate for the re-enactment of the corn-laws and tbe navigation-law=. Mr. SEYMOURS'S profeesion of frith on the subject of free trade is clear and ex plicit. He says in his address—. " rejoice that it has been found practicable to carry free-trade measures, in which I have always taken the deepest interest. I look upon them as a noble, though teirAporary sacrifice on the part of the wealthL r classes, for the benefit of the laborious classes, and I believe that the opposition to them will die away when their effect in increasing the comforts and improving the mo rality of the mass of the people becomes more fully ap preo ated." Bitween:a resident countrrgentleman, well known and. respected,and who professes such sentiments as these, and an unknown Protectionist Barrister, who date►► his address from St. L.onardi.on-the Sea, there can not be any d►tficulty of ch,tice, and we doubt not but that the inhabitants of Poole will give Sir G. Piil•• LIPS, their present Member, a worthy colleague in the person of Mr. SEYMoua, and will not again re peat the folly of virtually disfranchising them►elvea by returning a Protectionist, whose vote will on every occasion neutralize that of his free-trade colleague. TriE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The PRESIDENT of the Republic has arrived at Metz ; the following are the latest telegraphic dis• patches that have been received by the Govern. meat : " Meta, Aug. 25, Three P.M. " Nancy, Sunday morning, Aug. 25. " The President of the Republio arrived at Nancy yesterday evening at seven o'clock, having left Stras burg the day bmfore yesterday at one o'clock. He was received throughout his journey with joy and sympathy. At Sarrebourg, where he slept, an immense crowd had assembled from all parts of the arrondissement of Lune vine. Notwithstanding a pelting rain, which lasted since the morning, numerous rural National Guards bad come to join the National Guards of the town. In ea tering Nancy, the President found a triumphal arch, which bad been raised by the working classes of the suburb, with the following inscriptiont—' Dieu protege la France; ie. Louis Napoleon les ouvriers du faubourg.' An immense concourse of the population accompanied him from the triumphal arch to the pre'ecture. In the evening he assisted at a ball offend by the town."

Do you kn ow w h at t h e y re ply to you when ou ask them grace in favour (.f those unhappy popula tions who have need of order and pi ac-, as persons want air and light? They say, non possumus; a little rest; non possumus; a little calm, non possumus; a little employ ment to give bread to our children, non possumus; a little respite to repair the disasters of February ; non possumus. France has become for them the wandering Jew of the story; they do not permit her either to take breath or to sit down. And these are the representatives of the principle of stability and order! One would scarcely imagine it, if it be true that the tree is known by its fruits. Non possumus, we cannot listen to you ; non possumus, we cannot be tolerant and conciliating ; non possumus, we cannot accord to the country the calm which it is in need of, the truce which it demands; so, go on, cursed Jew, go on. France the vassal, we are your judies, your masters, your kings 1 But France, who knows also something of Latin, replies in the same lan guage: Nolimus." On the other hand the Legitimatists, who last year were urging the Councils-General of the Departments to insist on an immediate revision of the constitution, are this year endeavouring to neutraliz., the action o the Councils-General, because they ft•ar such action may turn to the profit of the PRESIDENT. Oa this subject the Union says : " the Councils-General meet in two days. Their session his year is of a more important character than in preceding years. No one is ignorant that the parti sans of the prorogation of the powers of the President of the Republic desire strongly that the Council General should pronounce in favour of the revision of the consti tution. A year back, only two or three councils made that demand. Everything announces that the matter will be examined in a few days in all the depart• ments. We do not want to regret by anticipation the decision of the Councils-General, but we may ob- serve that all their efforts will not succeed in resolving ' tho question. It is the National Assembly that will have to decide if the Constitution is to be revised. The Councils-General ought not, we imagine, to endeavour tl anticipate the resolutions of the Assembly, and influence its deliberations, in . tracing out to it a lihe to toLow. There is an observation which we think it necessary to make. The journals which are in favour of a revision of the Constitution are also in favour of a prolongation of the powers of the President. Ouo is the os, arts, and the other the end. Is not that a reason to guard a great re serve in the departments! assemblieb?" We read in the Evenement —"lt is known that King Louts Pitturre had claimed from the Republic, as his personal property, the Standish Museum, and that the question having been referred to the Council of State, was decided in his favour. The exile of Claremont has just responded to this act of justice by an act of generosity. He has made a present of the museum to the State. We record this fact 50 honourable to the former King of the FRENCH. SYe congratulate and thank him for this noble Men."

Ditto Account TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27, 1850. NiAiNEY and COMMERCIAL NEW S. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken on spec:eine, n. The market closed very bee , at I per ib. lower for all descriptions. The sales c: m prieed about 4,000 American ; 350 Bahia, at 84 Bi , l. ; 50 Egyptian, at 9d. ; arid 400 Surat, at 5i r, te 6*i. per lb.—The Railway Share Market was very firm. 'There are direct accounts of April 20 from Port Phillip. The colony was progressing very favourably, and all it wanted, to become greatly prosperous, was entire inde pendence of Sydney. There was still a want of la bourers. Tho letters and papers by the American steamer have been delivered this morning. The canal receipts cf the state of New York were largely in excess of any pre vious year, except 1847, and as the immense grain crops of the west came out, the tolls on public works in an parts of the country ve ould show a very satiefactore it.- ereaee on last year's. • Upon the subject of the Cotton crop, the accounts are still encouraging. Mr. T. J. Stewart re. marks, that " The all absorbing point in esti mating future prices for this staple is, cf course, the possible contingencies of the next three'months for the growing crop, as they may be ulti mately influenced by the weather which has prevailed in that section for the last fortnight. The warm weather which sr tin about the Ist of July is not unusual or ex cessive for the season and latitude, and would not pro bably have been dwelt upon, or exercise any influence whatever on prices in this market, but for the efforts made by certain limited holders to realise on small par cels, to bring about a lower level of prices for the opening of the season in the fall. As. one-third of the whole stock in the country is in this port, it was of course the vulnerable point, and the effect has been to reduce the scale of prices nearly half a cent in that period. The crop has been unquestionably benefited by this weather, and it has been carried forward to within one or two weeks of its position at this date last year. The number of plants growing are greater than last year, but not as much as would place the same amount of bolls, as the shrub does not yet contain over two-thirds the joints, and it is only at each joint the boll forms." With respect to the claims made by the United States of America on the Government of Portugal, a corre spondent suggests, in the event of a third power being called upon finally to decide the differences in respect of said claims, and Formes! should be considered liable, that the said Government would be perfectly justified in making payment in any of the bonds ot the repudiating states of the Union, each forming part of the federal Go vernment. We are glad, however, to find that ihere is a strong feeling in the United States against coercive measures. One writer observes:—" This is the present situation of this Portugal affair. Although it does not follow that war will be the result, yet we cannot but see that difficulty may grow out of it. It is rather humiliating to our national feelings, to see a great country like this assume such a belligerent attitude to wards one of the weakest powers in Europe, about such a trifling matter. It looks as if wo were desirous of acting the braggart and frightening a weaker nation out of a sum of money, tearing that if we submitted to an arbitration the injustice of our demand would be made manifest. This is the aspect which the mat ter bears, and it is useless to conceal it. If our claim be a good one, other nations will say, why do You riot submit it to the arbitrament of disinterested parties? A good claim never loses its force by being examined. But we will . not submit to any arbitration, says the Galpbiu Cebinet; you must pay up. It is really too bad that this country should be brought into such a condition. If Portugal ere a first Power in Europe, it would be quite a different matter, although, even then, the course of the Galphins would nut be justified, in taking the hostile attitude which they did, as long as peaceable means were within our control, to adjust the matter. Payment ot the whole claim would Lot be a recompense for the stigma which the course of the Gal pistils has cast upon the United St:twee" The Canadian accounts read well, and upon the pro rogation of ihe Legislature, Lord &gin made som e im portant observations bearing upon trade, &e. Hie Lord ship state I it to he bis opinion, that au exchange ot predects might take place between the several British North American provinces to a greater extent than has hitherto been the case, and that he should elide avuur to promote it. His Excell ncy congratulates the Legisla tive Council on the improt melee that has taken place in the revenue, and the promise of an abundant b srve se and also on the opening oet of the hue of navigation from the far west through Canada to the ocean. Advices from Valparaiso of July 7, furnish the mes sage of the President of the Chillers Republic on the assembling of Congress from which the following are translated extracts:—." The renewal of our treaty with the United States of America, which has now expired, is a subj. ct which will occupy the immediate attention of this Government. I propose introducing in it moth- I fictitious, demanded, in my opinion, by the interests of both nations. As yet the dist:lls6kt) in Washington of the most impertant ot the claims for indemni fication made by the United States against the Republic c f Chili, bas not terminated. 1 doubt not we will soon obtain the definitive answer of that Goverrment, and that it will be such as we have rcasen to expect from its inteltigence and juetite. The other claims will successively occupy the attention of both Governments. Means have been repeatedly taken for the protection or succour a Chilian citizens in Cali fornia, and fur the security and regularity of corre spondence with that country. The residence in San tiago of an astronomical expedition from the United States, has, through the literal e•ff.,r of its distinguished chic f, given an opportunity to the Government of com mencing the cultivation of a scientific branch hitherto unknown amongst us, and which, aside from its useful applications to objects of public utility, will place Celli, from her southern position, and the serenity e f her sky, in a situation to contribute somewhat to the general ad-. vancement of sci ence ." The Californian news is very cheerful in its tone, and there were evidences of a desire to establish everything on a sounder basis. Land speculation wai deprecated, and a public meeting had been held condemning it stroeely. The new hcuses building to replace those destroyed by the coefitteration were of brick, and fire proof. •,,t Anguari.
