On Friday, the 11th instant, a poor squalid woman, named RosINA HERBERT, the wife of a dock labourer, was brought before the presiding magistrate of the Tiaimes Police-court, charged with illegally pawning seven blue cotton - shirts. It appeared that the wretched creature, whose abject and miserable appearance suf ficiently denoted the state of destitution to which she nad been reduced, bad for some time supported her nusband, who was out of employment " only obtain ing a day's work now and then," and fvo sickly chil dren by needlework, and that by almost incessant labour, " plying her needle and thread" for fourteen or fifteen hours per diem. She was enabled to earn about three shillings a week, not a very magnifi cent provision fur four parsons, two of them in deli cate health. She did not receive the materials directly from the liberal slopsellers, who it appeared allowed twopence halfpenny each for a•birtmaking, but obtained them at third band, two distinct inter mediate profits being derived from the labonrs of the misere4e sempstresi. The woman who wai . paid 2}cl. each for the cornpgeted shirts employed another, to whom she allowed 2d., thus gaining id. on each piece, or •twi:rity per cent. on the entire sum; the first re ceiver' i'gain employed a deputy, but was contented with a t iutire moderate profit, one farthing each, or twelve and a half per cent., being all that she re tained for her commission ; w bile poor ROSINA HERBERT, who actualy performed the entire work, was handsomely remunerated with seven farthings each. The unfortunate woman, wanting bread fur her starving children, pawned seven of these shirts, whicli,.:ahe had just made, for Bs. 6d., and was thus oinauofitnce against that law which permits a man of spirit, with abundant means for his legitimate eZiledirtlfe,"tit ineiir with impunity debts of wbich po.?!envt? t teA , the liquidation, but which NOLA WA',. l :4 l Wvll - ,le severity the bsck-slidings of the most urgent an d p ress i ng poor. azilin , ?edy,.whom the necc sir. may-teree itto error.

He was yet unvriliing to send the miserable creature to prison, and to deprive her un employed husband and helpless children of their only support. He accordingly adjourned the case for a week, in order that the husband might try to make up the sum borrowed, Bs. 6d. It was undoubtedly a work of some difficulty to maintain a family and put by Bs. 6d. out of 2s. 9d., requiring the skill of that celebrated military financier, " Who spent half-a-crown out of sixpence a day." But it was possible he might obtain employment in the interval, and thus be enabled to save the wife of his bosom, to whcm he was so deeply indebted, who had so patiently laboured on his behalf, from the degradation of a prison. He might, also, obtain assistance from his neighbours, for even in the very humblest breasts there is a fund of charity that might put some of our wealthiests aristocrats, our most im maculate justices to the blush. At all events the ad journment was hailed as a boon, and RosINA HER BERT was liberated on her own recognizinces, and returned to her miserable room—to " Stitch, stitch, stitch, In poverty, hunger, and dirt, And still in a voice of dolorous pitch, To sing the song of a shirt." There was, however, assistance coming from other quarters which she had not ventured to . anticipate. The story of tha_unhappy sempstress was wafted on the wings' of "The - throughout_ the length and breadth of the land, and the public sympathy was ; painfully excited on betbalfpc 4 a rclloseluusmeftsyjng toil' and bitter 15itiatiOnkl;g4civen tn.pl43 - 4e w over the • entry of wbiph," . ;he, , Tecor,cling awgelumisbtihivreit diopped , a tot, biotted,it oat.for eriexr-*that is sfsy,.if he had no i.magisterial It.mperietice, ; und• had nntipresidei-on'tisi bench 'of JustleVit the Ttikaiiis Ndice-court.

On Monday a gentleman tendered ten Shillings for. the, poor woman, but Mr. YARDLEY, having made a long oration, to the effect that more than enough had been already received to relieve the woman of her' difficulties," and that "'the honest and virtuous; who did not yield to temptation, should be encouraged and rewarded, and not those who coinmitted'offences," tkc.,.:the be-. nevolent donor was induced to change its destination, and bestow the money on the poor-box. `, 'lt was manifest that his Worship thought his •observation?, which were duty' published, would have arrested the charitable stream that was flowing" tOWUCTS ROSINA HERBERT. It would have been well . for ,her, poor miser able creature, -had it done so ; for then, possibly, she might have received the sums previously paid for her use, which, in the aggregate, amounted to upwards of 201., and she might have been discharged on payment of a nominal fine. But the mighty man was for once mistaken ; he found to his astonishment that he was not infallible, and she, poor creature, was the sufferer. An antidote appeared in the shape of a letter from a humane individual who had visited her wretched ha bitation, and who described plainly and forcibly the miserable condition of the distressed family. Despite the awful censure, various contributions were still forwarded, which were received by the Justice, with an ominous intimation that " that they would be re served for the disposal of his colleague." At length the day pregnant with the fate of RosINA HERBERT arrived. On Friday last the trembling woman appeared to receive her sentence, to endure the terrors of the magisterial frown and the thunders of the magisterial elcquence ; she was to suffer for the contumacy of her sympathisers, who dared still to forward money fur her use despite the warnings of the impeccable YARDLEY. On being placed in the dock, Mr. RUTHTEN, who described himself as fore man to Messrs. FAVELL and &INFIELD, wholesale slopsellers and outfitters, in Houndsditch and St. Mary Axe, deposed that the prisoner had formerly been employed by the firm as a trousersmaker until. August, 1849, when she was given into custody on a charge of illegally pawning three coatees, convicted by Hr. YARDLEY, and in default of pa3ing a fine, sen tenced to fourteen days imprisonment. Mr. RUTH' YEN, who declared that he had been directed by his employers to " disabuse the public mind respecting the prisoner," added that "she was paid a fair price for the work she executed for Messrs. FAVELL and BOUSPIELD, and obtained a good living until she pawned the property entrusted to her ; that. since then no slopseller would employ her, and she obtained needlework through the hands of second or third persons, as in this case." It is much to be regretted that the volunteer witness, who made a lively statement respecting shirts belonging to his employers, which had been pawned by another wo man totally unconnected with the prisoner, and which, therefore, had nothing whatsoever to say to the case, and should not have been listened to by the judge, did not condesc end to say what was the amount paid by his employers, or how much the prisoner had usually earned. The public could then have judged for itself as to whether she had received "a fair price for the work she executed for Messrs. FAVELL and BOUSPIELD," or " obtained a good living." Opinions may differ widely on these points, and we should be sorry to pin our faith on the conclusions arrived at by a slop seller's foreman as to the proper remuneration of a starving sempstress, or what was a "good living" for four persons. Mr. INGHAM was, however, contented. He launched out into a diatribe expressive of his horror at the offence, daring which the prisoner, who "carried a sickly child in her arms, and was sobbing loudly, fe, down in hysterics," and the proceedings were neces sarily suspended for some time. This painful scene did not, however, influence the decision. On her recovery she was again placed in the dock, and the sentence was completed. We have neither time nor inclination to notice the admirable lecture delivered by the magistrate on the enormity of the crime. Suffice it to say, that she was or dered to pay Bs. 6i., the value of the goods, and a fine of 10s., or in default to suffer twenty-one days' imprisonment in the House of Correction ; that the wils also informed that more than 431. had been sent " with a request that the magistrate should apply it for her benefit, and for her relief," but that he would not apply " one single farthing of it for any such purpose." Mr. INGHAM also declared that " that money sent for her relief would be applied to other purposes, but if the persons who had sent the various donations wished to reclaim it they could do so ; but if not demanded within a month it would be put in the poor- box, and applied to the relief of any distressed persons not guilty of any crime whom the magistrates may select." He announced at the same time the joint determination of Mr. YARDLEY and himself that they would "never receive a single farthing for 'the relief of any particular individual, in futoic, unless . it was stipUlaivd that the donation s:Iould be applied at their discretion to deserving persons:' - - • , • • It is right . that this, determinatiun should be gene- I v ersousabOnt . to forward 'money t 9 the Thames Paliccourt should be. clearly in4;rtn.td. tf the .conditions on.uhich.they.s6nd..it.:, We doubt ir,--when , the decision • in Rosins.

Mr. i ARDLaY expressly Cleclaiia that " he would apply the money sent by Mr. FBOST to LONDON, the use intended by him," what judgment would be pronounced on himself if adjudicating on the case. The "mote in the eye of the sempstress" was clearly discerned, but we suppose " no beam" obstructed the magisterial vision. We cannot conclude our observations on this deeply distressing case without imploring those who sent in contributions not to be diverted from their original intentions. Let them reclaim their money within the time specified and hand it over for the use of ROSINA HERBERT, her unfortunate husband, and sickly children. Let them render the wretched woman independent of slopsellers' work, no longer compelled to make shirts at seven farthings each, re ceiving them from second or third persons. They will find no difficulty in procuring competent persons to undertake the due distribution their benefactions according to their own desires and wishes. Although less scrupulous than the Thames Police magistrates, they may not consider " a yield ing to temptation," under the most trying and heart rending circumstances, as for ever placing the sinner beyond the pale of hope. Let those who consider themselves spotless, and without fault, hurl stones at the miserable woman who worked patiently and onrepiningly at making shirts at seven farthings each, until driven by the cries of her sickly and famishing children, one aged six years, the other fifteen months, she unfortunately pawned the articles she had just completed. But let those who feel that they themselves have need of forgiveness, that they must trust to the compassion of an all-merciful REDEEMER, never indifferent to the cries of the poor and needy, regard with a lenient eye the errors, and endeavour to alleviate the sufferings, of ROiINA HERBERT, the modern illustration to the thrilling and pathetic " Song of the Shirt." To those who may wish to judge for themselves the condition of the wretched family, and their general chartisv and conduct, against which nothing has been except the illegal pawning of articles on iteVrek eecaeioss, st:an interval of fourteen months, we l'annotinee - that%their residence is at No. 9, Foster- ktriet;l36llii3alpii..

At least it might have been imagined that he would have obtained a patient hearing for his proposals, and that when he should have demonstrated their practicability, the authorities of the State would have afforded him every facility for carrying them out, or at all events have secured to him a fair field by abstaining from everything like active oppo sition. Such, no doubt, were the ideas of Dr. SCOFFERN, when he, in 1847, propounded his dis covery With regard to the refining of sugar by che miCal,means, by which he enabled the sugar manu facturer to obtain 3 cwt. of sugar from the same quantity of material from which under the old pro cess he obtained but one ; and he would have been perfectly justified in entertaining these ideas had the seals of the Colonial-office been held by any other Minister save Earl GREY, who seems, since the mo ment he entered the Colonial-office, to have endea voured to "leave undone those things which he ought to 'have done, and to have done those things which he ought not to have done"—witness New Zealand, Cey lon, Vancouver's Island, &c., &c. Dr. SCOFFERN having patented his process, and made his discovery known to several sugar refiners, who practised it on a large scale, and found it to answer most satisfactorily, pro ceeded to send agents to the West Indies to explain the a process to the planters ; but, to his great surprise, instead of being hailed as a benefactor, he was de nounced as a poisoner, and his agents were pretty generally refused even a hearing. On making in quiry into the cause of this strange state of affairs, he discovered that Earl GREY bad, without inquiry, without giving the inventor any intimation of his in tention, sent out dispatches to the various colonial Governments, desiring them to warn the planters against the use of the process as highly dangerous, because the sugar produced contained lead—a not able discovery, seeing that all sugar manufactured under the old process contains lead, of which fact probably our learned and chemical Colonial Secre tary was not aware at the time he entered the field againit the new process. — Complaints were made to the Government, and, after a lapse of ten months, a chemical inquiry was set on foot, and the result was, as stated by our cor• respondent HUMANITAS, is another column of our journal, " that no more lead was found in the samples by the new process than in those of the 1)1 d . The experimenters add, moreover," continues fiuma.mrAs, " that in no case, in any quantity that they could pronounce dangerous. But an other body of medical men, adjudicating on this very report, considered that the consumption of sugar with lead in it was dangerous. This applies, how ever, with equal force to both processes, since both, according to the chemical investigators, contain lead. Dr. COFFERN replies, and subsequent,investigations by chemists of great eminence go to establish his state ment, that assuming the existence of lead in the pro duce of both processes, that his is the safer; aince the lead therein is in an insoluble and innocuous form, whilst that in the sugar by the old process is and must be poisonous. But he maintains, and a number of chemical certificates substantiate the position, that the sugar manufactured and refined by perfect ma chinery under his process, and sold in large quan- ities, is destitute of any, even the slightesttrace cf lead, so that the most delicate tests of the laboratory have failed to discover it. It is a fact that the sugar has been used to the exclusion of all other at the tables of many familes for two years past without any evil result." It surely would have been advisabl e that all these experiments should have been instituted and all these inquiries made before the issuing of the denunciation of the Colonial Secretary, rather than after it, which they would have been had Earl GREY condescended to intimate his intention to Dr. SCOF.. FERN ; and had such been the case in all probability the denunciation would never have been issued at all. The whole history is succinctly told by our corre spondent HUMANITAS, to whose letter we refer our readers, as furnishing a characteristic additional chapter to the history of the colonial administration of Earl GEY. ROYAL NAVAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.— (THIS DAY.) — The quarterly general court of this society, estab lished 1739, for affording relief to the officers of the royal navy, and to their widows and families, was held this day, at the Thatched House Tavern, St James's-street; Sir John Malcolm, vice-president, occupying the chair. After the disposal of some preliminary business, Commander Dickson, the secretary, proceeded with the balance-sheet, from which it appeared that the total receipts during the quarter had been, including the previous balance, 1,532/. 13s. 5d., and the expenditure 4931., leaving a balance of 1,3371. Bs. Bd. The subscriptions had decreased by the deaths of the members, but, on the other hand, the donations had been more numerous than for many previous quarters. ilThe report being una nimously received, a long discussion ensued upon a motion, which was to the effect that under no circumstances whatever should the widow, orphan, or family expect relief at the death of any member, unless such member's subscrip tion be paid up from the commencement till the death. The resolution was carried by a large majority; and after the transaction of some routine matters, the meeting separated in passing a vote of thanks to the hon. and gallant chairman. MONETARY REFORM.—At a meeting of the IV4I - Agricultural Society, held on Friday at Leicester, Mr. Harrison, of Bagworth, Leicestershire, responded to a toast, and took the opportunity of saying that in his part of the country they looked upon protection as dead, and that they must bury it —(A Voice, " Good," and murmurs.) He did not deny that the agriculturists had a right to be protected, but he believed that they would never regain the protection 'which they had lost ; and the only remedy he could devise was an alteration of the monetary system.

The Constitutionnel of Saturday contains the long promised article on General CHANDARNIER from the pen of Dr. VERON, the acknowledged mouthpiece of the Elysee. It is an attempt at cajolery, and at the same time the evidence of a fear which the writer awkwardly enough endeavours to conceal. The General, like Captain DUDLEY SMOOTH in the comedy, contents himself with ejaculating "Hem ! ha!" and Dr. VERON, like the tailor, would give the world to know what he means by his "Hem ! ha!" One thing only is certain, and that is that the Elysee is prepared to sacrifice General D'Hawrroun, which, after the enormous quantity of dirt that gallant officer has eaten in " his ardour to do well," is tent soit pets ungrateful. The following is the conclusion of the article in the Constitutionnel:— " The General takes no part in the movement of which be is the occasion. He remsies immoveable, and it is the parties who move and turn around him. In the point of view of the interests of society and of the grave difficulties of the present moment, why should we not compl••tely examine the situation of General Changer nier? Why should we not study beforehand all the de viations which the intrigues of parties might attempt to impress on him? Why should we not here say loudly, what in groups, very rare and very timid it is true, is whispered softly? There are people who, being neither Socialists, nor Republicans, nor Urleanists, nor Legiti mists, but who, shelving themselves unjust and ungrate ful towards Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, would endeavour to seek a rivality to him. These dangerous friends of the General forget the remark of Napoleon—' Why am not my gradson?' They forget that Louis Napoleon Bonaparte enjoys a privilege of birth which no one CaO overcome; he bears a name which, fur more than fifty years, resounded throughout all the universe, and re mains the glory of France. All this noise that is made, all these remarks which take place around General Changarnier, and without his hearing and listening to them, are not, however, made without occasion and with out a pretext. Everything is now known; it is publicly notorious that a disagreement has arisen between Gene ral Changarnier and the Minister of War. Some are pleased to attribute this fact to puerile causes, but, in our opinion, it has a very serious cause. General d'Haut poul, in his ardour to do well, appears to study anew all our military institutions, like certain savans, who entertain the lofty ambition of remodelling science. It appears to us that the General-in-Chiet of the army •f Paris does not, on the contrary, occupy himself, in the difficult times through which we pass, but with the spirit of discipline, the welfare and the efficiency of our regiments. General Changarnier wishes to pre serve and maintain; the Minister of War only thinks of' remaking and innovating. It is not two enemies who are in presence, but two systems which oppose each other. This struggle between two convictions has its inconveniences and its dangers, and, while showing itself grateful for the zeal and good offices of General d'Hautpoul, the Executive Power may, withoht its ap pearOg its, a disgrace, d e plare itself ,against the ;one of these twee eyiteres which appears to ',it teele the letqt in 'herierey With the preetical wisdom and the 'pru dence, of hiS - GOvernment. To sum up, General Cean garnier hold 4 from Louis Napoleon Bonaparte the great ,command he possesses. Ws honour is the guarantee for toe use he will make of it. Between the President of the Republic and General Changarnier there is a mutu ality of feeling and of danger. It is for that reason that we do not fear to say that General Changarnier, who already counts more than one service rendereJ, will powerfully assist the President of the Republic in saving France, society, and civilization." The National of yesterday thus comments on this remarkable revelation of the " hopes and fears" of the Elysee : " It was necessary," says the National, " to insinuate to the General what it was wished he should do, and to dissuade him from persistence in an attitude which was giving,uneasiness, to intimate to him, as delicately as pos sible, that he should play the part of an auxiliary, and to interdict no less delicately the part of a rival, to com plain of certain acts, and to encourage him in others—to flatter him without feeding his pride, and to admonish without exciting irritatiun—to make him feel the secret ,ting rf a bleme under the form of a caress—to mingle, according to :he precept which holds as good with regard to diplomacy as to poetry le grave au doux, obsequious ness with distrust, and to put a menance under the form of an adulation. It was necessary, in fact, to gild the pill, and who so capable as the doctor of the Constitu tionnel, who is an old hand at the business?" • Going to the heart of the question, the National puts the following questions and answers : " What is feared? The hostility of the general. What is, as it were, taken for granted? His concur rence. What is the truth? Hostility. What are the sentiments affected towards the general? Those of con fidence. What are the real sentiments? Distrust. Such is the situation which the Constitutionnel endeavours to conceal, while its efforts to show an intente cordiale only prove dissensions'. In his eyes the sword of liemocles is no metaphor, but exists really, the name alone being changed." The Siècle has the following : "There was yesterday a talk of a fact of a certain importance, which is said to have occurred the day before. M. Guizot, who since his retutn to France has lived out of the pale of politics, is said to have written to M. de Horny to beg him to call on him; M. do Morny is said to have hastened to wait on the ex-Minister, and the latter is represented to have said, It is believed in public that the President of the Republic is of a firm and obstinate character: you know as well as I du that that is not so. have nut, I confess, a very great confidence in the Government of M. Louis Bonaparte; but, such as it is, hie Government is better than the unknown, and we must therefore support it. Tell the President not to yield; say to him that my friends and I will support nim, and ask him if he would accept a plan of conduct, which I should wish to submit to him.' M. de Moray hastened to the Elyse', and returned to tell M. Guizet that the plan of conduct would be received with grati tude and respect. M. Guizot is' then, it seems, in ac cord with M. Berryer and M. Thiers. It only remains to the President to conquer M. Dual:el and his few friends to have in his service all the relays of the Go vernment of July." The Debats announces two new works from the pen of M. Gutzon, to be published at the end of this menth. The first is intituled " Monk ; Fall of the Republic, and Re-establishment of the Monarchy in England in 1660. Tee second is " Washington ; Foundation of the Republic of the United States of America." written Republique to the d sPosatireise c t a o tr s o t s a s t e e spd tha up t (i)it "thatis not h t e ru m e ,a made e s M.

The Patrie, which invariably funds. conspiracy to frighten the timid gets up a Socialist into h submission, whenever symptoms of opposition El see are manifested by the Legitirnatists oornot data: ists Y has the following canard, signed AMEDEE DE CESENA : 't A fortuitous circumstance has recently brought under our eyes a secret document, which makes serious revels dons as to the dark and criminal d •of designs the party of anarchy. This document emanates from'one of the Ger mansurfacethe party how orderguiltyin embassies, and we guaraettee the authenticity of it. There can be nothing better calculated to show the carriages.a tirn functions, hTi eh' e w rashness of a too blind confidence in the calm which a re a i d gn d such a threateniug state of things. It is in this point of view that it has appeared useful to us to extract from it the most significant and the most important pas sages. It is good to throw light into minds which sleep in the midst of a disastrous security. Socialism s an o g ri ero t u h s e pretends to be expiring, but from this document we see that it - is not the less agitating in the depths of Europe. The Communist element, which up to this day had formed the nucleus of the secret societies and political conspiracies, has recently chosen .as the perma nent and principal seats of its revolutionary action, the cities of Leipsie, Konigsbargh, Berlin, Prague, Milan, London, Geneva, and Paris. It may be remembered that the chiefs of the party of anarchy had resolved to hold a secret congress at London in the early part of June last. The document of which we speak confirms this circardstance.! It adds that twenty of them had already arrived in that city, when it was decided that the meeting should be adjourned. The order sent to the principal adherents of Socialism to come there were countermanded on the 30th May. This counter-order had no other object than to deceive the surveillance of the Governments. In virtue of fresh convocations, a less nume rous meeting than that which was to have been held in London took place on the 2d June in a retired quarter of Paris. We abstain from mentioning the street and the house. We shall not name the personages which at tended this meeting, nor those, more important from their situation and their notoriety, who, without being ritetent. have since adhered to the plans of general over throw and of universal war decided on in common by the German, French, an d Italian c ons p irators, g rou p ed at this meeting. It will suffice for us to say that amongst the latter personages, there are names on seeing which the public would be pitifully surprised. The rami fications of this vast conspiracy, which takes in the whole of Europe, extends to England, and almost into the very heart of Russia, where it threatens to produce a t:Trible • explosion. The same document qualifies this conspiracy as essentially Red. Its motto is ' SANS PITIE NI NlEncir The leaders of the movement have decided that the chiefs of states shall be every where assassinated, and the association has adopted measures to provide for the wives and children of such of its members as may tall in this i -nrip',ous struggle against society. In one of the numerous secondary and secret meetings held under the presidency of the principal agents an oath was taken in the midst of the most violent clamour to destroy the P • • ' p..truits, adding that their massacre should be the aicnst o f the destruction of all t h e 13,,ut bone and of their friends and supporters. At this same meeting one of the members of the association, raising his glass, pro nounced a horrible threat against the widow of the Duke of Orleans, and expressed his pride in being a Red of the first quality. Such are the frightful details given by this document. This fact is characteristic, but what is still more so are the execrable threats of hatred and vengeance, which proceeded from the mouth of one of the German chiefs of the conspiracy. ' On the field of battle we will spare 1•110 one, and we will strike our most intimate friends, if they are not unconditional Communists.' In these words we find the spirit of their motto—' S ans pit* ni merci." After. pointing out the detists of arms formed by this Communist conspiracy i n a ll t h e capitals, after enume rating the m eans to be employed to draw the ambitious into their tete, the document states the object of this conspiracy is to attain:by a general confusion and a san guinary combat the extermination of all those who pos sess a foot of ground or a coupon of rente, and that it has taken the oath of Hannibal against all the monar chies of Europe. Robbery and murder form the basis of this Machiavelic plan. The weeds are to be torn up to promote the growth of good plants. Such is the ex pression of the document, which concluiei as follows: The soil of Europe is mined in such a manner as to render a fright! ul catastrophe imminent."' The concocter of this hoax upon M DE CESENA, is but an awkward hand, compared with the first rate artistes In ho, in the time of Louis PHILIPPE, were employed by the police to create an alarm by scattering votes ambiguas; a master of his craft would never have committed himself by stating that the document emanated from one of the German Em bassies, seeing that in the Austrian Chancery there is, and since the commencement of the reign of MET.. TERNICH always has been, a department for forgery, charged with the concoction of sham revelations, of sham conspiracies, and with the forgery and falsification of official documents, in which said Chancery. by the bye, even the treaty of Vienna itself was falsified. This allusion to a German Embassy is alone sufficient to prove that M. DE CESENA has been the dupe of a most transparent fraud, even if the impossible absur dities of the narration itself did not at once stamp it as a not over ingenious fabrication. Letters from the department of the Pyrenees state that snow has fallen in large quantities, and though the days are fine, yet during the night the frost is severe. The Mt onileur contains the following " communi cation :" The President of the Republic received during his late journeys a great number of demands for the Legion of Honour, formed by old soldiers of the Republic and the Empire. These demands have been referred either to the Grande Chancellerie or to the Commission charged to appreciate them. The peculiar examination to which they were subject shows that most of the pe titioners hope, in obtaining the distinction, to enjoy the pension which is atta hed thereto. It is, consequently, useful to remind them, or make known to them that this pension can only be allowed to non-commissioned officers, soldiers, and sailors, in active service at the mo ment of their nomination in the Order,' and that in every other case the decoration of the Legion of Honour is purely honorary, and cannot, consequently, give rise to any pension or remuneration."

The Cologne Gazette, under date of Wilhelmsbad (Electoral Besse) 16th inst.,says :—" The; Ministerial crisis is at an end. The propositions made by M. ELYERi have been rejected. We believe that the abandonment of the Austrian policy was the basis of these propositions, and that M. ELVERS had demanded that a new Minister of Foreign Affairs should be named; but Count Itsc EIBERG arrived from Bregentz, and the Austrian influence caused the momentary failure of all the plans conceived in the interest of the pacification of the country." The German Journal of Frankfort has the follow ing from Mannheim, 12th instant :---" The Prince of Prussia, when passing through our town, addressed the following speech to a deputation of the inhabi tants, on the political situation of the town : ' Prussia has arrived at the very limit of what is possible, patience is exhausted. Perhaps the King of Prussia has done more than his responsibility be fore the Chamber and public opinion permitted him.' The Prince afterwards blamed the intrigues of M. DE ilassefsrreuc. "At Cassel," he said, " injustice has proceeded from a high source." The German Reform of Berlin, of the lath, says : " The journals have published some erroneous infor mations as to the propositions recently made by Prussia to the Provisional College of Princes. We think it our duty to remark that there is no idea at present of making any change in what has been hitherto done to realise the federal state. The organs of the union will remain in full activity. The Col lege of Princes and the Tribunal of the Union will be maintained." We read in the Cologne Gazette of the 18th :—" The representatives of the bourgeoisie of Schwerin and Rostock had convoked for the day 'after to-morrow the representatives of that class in all the towns of the country, to deliberate on the resolutions to be come to in common for the interest of the constitution. The Government, however, has thought proper to interdict this assemblage, and threatened to inflict a fine, and even imprisonment, on any one who should attend. It is not known what resolutions the bourgeoisie will come to on this subject." A letter from Hanover of the 14th, in the Cologne Gazette,statea that on the previous day a new Ministry had been composed as follows :—M. de Munchauaen, President of the Council and Minister of Foreign Af fairs; M. Lindemann, Interior; M. Jaubi, War; M. de lice:sing, Justice ; M. de Bolow, Finance ; and M. Meyer, Public Worship ; but that some difficulties had since arisen which rendered it probable that the Struve Ministry would remain in office. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Independence of Brussels says—" The struggle in the duchies threatens to recommence more fiercely, and to become more sanguinary than ever. On both sides preparations are making for a general resumption of hostilities. The Danish army is being continually , reinforced, to make up the lopes it sustained, notwith standing its success in the recent engagements, and it receives from Copenhagen a host of encouragements. At the same time its chief, General KROGII, causes to be carried on without interruption the works of the for tifications in Schleswig, and the isles which depend on it. The whole of this duchy will soon resemble an immense fortress. On its part the lieutenancy general is redoubling its efforts to repair the losses of the Holstein army. Our Hamburgh correspondent states that strong inducements will be held out to the officers of the Hessian army who have resigned to go to Holstein, and to take with them as many soldiers as possible.

A letter from Constantinople of the sth says— " M. Gustave de Rothschild, son of the head of the celebrated house in Paris, arrived here on Sunday last. His presence in this city has given rise to a host of .re ports, which the actual state of the finances seems partly to justify. Projects of a loan to the Turkish Govern ment are talked of. For my part, I think that these projects, should they exist, will meet with s., , ricius diffi culties and mach delay in their realisation." SICILY. The Neapolitan Government has given an assurance to the Helvetic Confederation, that the Swiss who suffered losses from the bombardment of Messina shall be indemnified on the same footing as the citizens of other nations. The Malta Mail announces, on the authority of a letter from Messina, that all communication between that port and other countries, Naplws excepted, had been suspended, for whit reason, however, was not known.

THE GRAND BANQUET AT YORE.—A paragraph appeared in some of our contemporaries on Saturday to the effect that the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex bad received invitations from the Lord Mayor of York to the banquet in that city, for which great preparations are now being made, in return for the splendid entertainment given by the Lord Mayor of London in honour of the Great Exhibition of 1851, and to which the chief magistrates of the towns and counties f the empire were invited. This statement was premature. The Sheriffs of London and Middlesex have not yet re ceived invitations from the Lord Mayor of York; but as those officers are considered part and parcel of the mayoralty of the city of London, and mixed up to a great extent with the forms and ceremonies of the approaching exhibition, no doubt is entertained that the oversight will be corr ec t e d. We understand that the preparation for the reception of Prince Albert and the Lord Mayor are upon the most mag nificent scale. Suinmones were issued on Friday night for n Ca binet Council— the first (~f the series usually held at this sea son—to asurrible at tkine o'clock un Wednesday next, the ' 3 3d inst., at the Forel ;n-oftice, Downing -street.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 6,000 hales, of which 1,50 C, American were taken on speculation. The market closed with spirit at 41111 prices. The sales comprised .5,000 American, 200 Pernam and Maranham at Bd. to 8 /d., 100 Bahia at 84d., 100 Egyptian at 80. to 9d., and 500 Surat at sd. to 51d. per lb.—Railway Shares were steady at previous rates. The Grain Market is firm this morning, but not vary brisk. The Niagara steamer brings late advices from the United Sates. The Money Market at New York was easy, and the state of trade in general was good, al though dry goods were in excessive supply. Breadstuffs were dull, but without alteration.

From the West Indies we have intelligence of late date by the Royal Mail steamer. In Jamaica the wea ther had been very dry, and although fine showers had fallen in some parishes, others had suffered from drought. In some of the central districts the canes wore a very luxuriant appearance, but rain was wanted. Unques tionably the most interesting matter in the West Indies at the present date is the cultivation of the cotton plant, and this aas being carried forward with spirit. An as sociation of gentlemen had selected twenty acres near St. Ann's, and, having procured the very finest descrip tion of seed, it was expected that the result would be a more sat'sfactory proof of the adaptation of the West lathed soil and climate to the cultivation of the staple. The importance of providing for a large ❑umber of the population a light and re numerative employment, suitable to the thousands who are neither willing nor able to go through the toil of sugar growing, is well understood, and, as even famales could be made available, it is considered that the cost of labour would not be excessive. This latter is a material element in any calculation, seeing the competition to be sustained from the slave-growing states of America. The local journals contain several letters from parties who profess tea have grown successfully both corn and cotton. The Pimento crop in St. Ann's had fallen off largely, and plantations which ought to return 1,000 or 2,000 bags had nut given as many hundreds. . _ In Trinidad the estimates were under the consider ation of the Legislature, and a reduction in the civil list was advocated. Some very fine samples of Sea Island cotton-seed bad been procured for planting. Itains had fAllen freely prior to the latest date at Bar badoes, but they were much wanted, owing to the drought that had b6fore prevailed. Complaints are made that the new mail route had not commenced well, the steamer to St. Thomas having been fifty-six hours over thir time.
