CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR, But although he comes in snow, he still hopes to meet with a warm recept i on —but where is he going? Why, to pay his yearly visit to the Spirit- of John Rich, in the GHOSTLY CITY OF DEPARTED FUN. This city is composed of the Tombs of the by-gone Pantomimes— " Who's dat knocking at der door?"—Come and see—" J. Andersen's my Joe, John." and " I am Rich," that's more than every one can say ; we wish they could —llow to make a Pantomime ?—" that is the question"—bet the answer, it is hoped, will be satisfactory— Poor Tra-ge-dy meets with no clemency, so we, fly by night" to A SPLENDID HALL IN THE PALACE OF GOOD QUEEN BESS. . _ We now come to Historical Facts, therefore, as the Clown at Astley's would say, " Let us be serious." It is an historical fact, that the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended so, Good Queen Bess, therefore he bated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspi racy—Sir Walter Rale'gh fears his pipe will be put out —Bacon gets quite in a frizzle, and Lord Burlelzh shakes his head—but there's nothing in that, whatever they may say to the contrary. It is an historical fact, that Good Queen Bess was assisted at her toilet by many of her noblemen, therefore the GRIND PROCESSION OF THE TOILETTE is introduced, in which the Royal Wig ! the Royal Ruff ! ! the Royal Blushes ! ! ! and the Royal Petticoat ! !! ! will make their first appearance on any stage, and trust to the " usual Indulgence of a British Public." These are followed by GOOD QUEEN BESS . . en deshabille, as she is represe;ted Ina picture at Hampton Court, —What comes next will certainly follow—and then will be seen GOOD QUEEN BESS in all her royal splendour.- 2 lt is au Historical — Fact, that Good Queen Bess, like " Young Susan"—" had lovers so many that she scarcely knew upon witch to deeble"—and it is an historical Fact that the following were a few of them.

And so they do. KENILWORTH CASTLE As it appeared on the occasion of Good Queen Bess's Royal Visit. For farther particulars inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori cal fart that Good Queen Bess paid the Earl of Leicester a visit, and ' paid the piper." This, his gorgeous fete, half ruined him ; there fore we pity his fate, but must adrnirs his wondrous generosity, for all he ever hoped for in return was—. Half-a-crown. The Earl fore stalls Shakspere, by discovering " that the course of true love never did run smooth," for here he meets with some twenty " competi tenrs," and to him they do come " petit ours," for they prove per fect bears. or, more properly speaking, bores.

Something more than mere wordy declamatioi against the titles, dignities, and ceremonials with which Authority has been invested by the universal consent of mankind, is requisite to ensure the ad vancement of Democracy. Such, however, does not appear to be the opinion of one C. LAsnrus, who has ventured to controvert the arguments contained in the political dissertation published last year by Mona. GuiaoT. Assuredly it is unnecessary for us to disclaim any kind of sympathy whatever in the majority of legislative dogmas advanced by that eminent statesman, publicist, historian, and adminis trator. Nevertheless, while the main portion of our creed of government is diametrically opposed to the social belief of the late Prime Blinister of France, it is altogether beyond our en durance to witness his clear, pithy, and rhetori cal pages sneered down by a fribble in the dis guise of a politician, and flippantly criticised by e verbose and prurient pamphleteer. Parodying the exclamations of LOUIS PAUL COURIER, the writer o! this extravagant brochure* thus enlarges upon the ejaculation—" May the LORD preserve us from the spirit of evil and from metaphors," by invfrsghing it, this fashion against the titles of public dignitaries (absurdly called metaphors), " What a spirit of evil! What metaphors ! My Lord ! Your Grace ! Yew Highness! (do not cry baby). Your Holiness! Your Majesty ! Perhaps insane; what a metaphor! ! The Reverend ; and the Right Reverend Father in God !! !" and so on to very nausea. We would ask the author if his very incoherent interpo lations, "do not cry baby" and " perhaps insane," are intended as allusions to himself, seeing that other wise their meaning must remain somewhat inexpli cable. Be it remembered that in the age of BACON and ELIZABETH this question was written down in imperishable letters by one WILLIAM SHAKSPEKE..-- " What's in a name ?" Three centuries or so elapse, and the inquiry of the mightiest genius of England is responded to with a sublime impertinence by the dictum of a pamphleteer. While the poet implies, or we should rather say, expressly indicates that in a name there is " Nothing," the pert scribbler of a pamphlet, or, more correctly speaking, of a pragmatic criticism on a pamphlet, declares to the contrary, " Everything." According t o the latter the voice of the pursuivant, or the trumpet of the tabarded herald renders virtue criminal, beauty hideous, and grandeur contemptible. So at least he intimates in the sarcastic ejaculations transcribed from his pages by ourselves, ejaculations emphasised by capitals, and pointed by notes of ad miration. To his jealous and depreciative imagina• tion the noble, however illustrious by his services to his country or his fellow-creatures, is transformed into an object of contempt by the prefix of any lofty appellation, no matter whether it were won bravely and chivalrously. For him the beautiful legends of Heraldry possess no romantic charm or poetic fasci nation—he can recognise no indication of heroism in the origin of the fine old Scottish family NAPIER in the exclamation of the armed Sovereign on the field of battle that one of its earliest ancestors, in prowess bad i'srae peer." Again, there cannot possibly be for him any subject of emotion in the first elevation of the house of the BLENNERIIASSETS to distinction, when the national banner was reclaimed from the enemies of his country by the most celebrated of their progenitors amidst the cry of the whole army— " BLENNER has it !" With ourselves and all the lovers of Shaksperian wisdom, a name may thus be fraught with a slight value 'by reason of its many agreeable j associations. But with C. Limmus it is otherwise—a name acquired by honour, by virtue, or by valour being pregnant with every species of atrocity, an object of so much and such detestable importance as to be * " Mons. Guizot; or Democracy, Oligarchy, and Monarchy." By C. Lm'ius. pr. 102. Ft x, London, 1849. 4' • 4, ik “.44 • 0. • "'' • States of America. If a priest of Christianity is termed " the Reverend"—RoBESPIERRE, the most renowned of the Gallic Democrats, was also styled by his fellow-Republicans " the Incorruptible." If the Supreme PONTIFF is mentioned reverentially as " His Holiness the Pope"—OLIVER. CROMWELL, the Puritan-leader of the Commonwealth, was spoken of during the memorable days of his supremacy as "His Highness the Lord Protector." So much for the consistency of this very prudish fastidiousness evinced in regard to ranks, titles, and dignities by the anta gonist of Monarchical institutions and the panegyrist of Republicanism. With SIIAKSPERE think we, " What's in a name ?" in spite of vaunting epithets, in the face of ostentatious insignia•, and in the teeth of our own democratic pre dilections, still loving virtue l admiring valour, re• verencing wisdom, and paying our meed of homage to patriotism. To us a venerable ruler may be an object of admiration, notwithstanding he is addressed as " Your Highness" or " Your Majesty." To us a sage and benignant ecclesiastic may be an object of love and reverence, notwithstanding his titles are those of "Your Grace" or "Your Holiness." Not so with C. L2Enzus—hls ambition is not to rise to the heights of his superiors, but to sink those superiors to the depths of his own medio crity. Upon the same principle he sighs for the extinction of Religion, of Society, and of Civi lization (see chapter vii.). Because the priest hood are deputed to console the multitude in the midst of the miseries to which they are liable in a terrestrial existence, he would abolish with " one fell swoop" that class of comforters—blindly believing that the consolation of distress is the perpetuation of calamity. Because, moreover, the savage is pre served by his very ignorance from various anxieties and afNctions, he would gladly witness the re turn of mankind to barbarism instead of aiding in the maintenance and development of civiliza tion. Infuriated at the poverty resulting from the diversity and competition of classes, he manifestly yearns for the rupture of the whole social system and the return to primeval anarchy. With such destructives we have not one particle of sympathy; rather for us that gentle and beneficent creed %bids recognizes the sedimentary hope under all the effervescent ills pouring abundantly forth from the box of our earthly Pandora. The gaze of true Democracy is never back towards the bloody chaos of the Past, but onwards, for ever onwards, in the direc tion of the propitious Future. The laudable example afforded by the ex-Premier to the landlord class has been followed even in Ireland- Two persons, of very different political creeds, have addressed their respective tenantries—the one, a high Tory of the old school, a strenuous advocate for protection, and the re-imposition of the tax on human food ; the other, a zealous and enthusiastic Free trader, an earnest reformer of all existing abuses, and a consistent and able supporter of an amelioration of the landlord and tenant code. Each is, of course, actuated by his own peculiar views, and anxious to discharge fairly the important duties incident to his position. It would, indeed, be fortunate for poor, un happy Ireland if the other proprietors of the soil were enabled to perform similar acts of justice to the occu piers, either in the way of effecting the neces sary improvements, or in entering into equit able arrangements as to the amount of rent payable in respect of the several holdings. This can, perhaps, scarcely be hoped for, at least, to any great extent in what may be termed, par excellence, the distressed districts. But it may at least be reason ably expected that such landlords as have it in their power to do so will speedily follow the praise worthy precedents. The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE directs his attention altogether to the improvement of the soil, by a com plete and thorough drainage thereof. He offers no suggestions as to any re-adjustment of rents, or allowances in consequence of the reduced prices of agricultural produce. He, perhaps, feels that the condition and prospects of the farmers are not so gloomy and hopeless as his fellow-Protectionists would wish the public to believe, but that every difficulty may be surmounted if proper means be adopted for that purpose. The re duced price of wheat can best be remedied by the increase of crops, and the first great want of the country—fair employment for the labouring popula tion, will be supplied by the steps taken to achieve the former object. The Noble Marquis, therefore, declares his readiness to undertake the drainage of the lauds upon reasonable conditions. He is willing to earry out all the details, employing the labourers, and paying weekly for all the work done, by task. The occupier is not required to meet any portion of the expense, not even to give his own labour without full remuneration. His Lordship announces that " such tenants, or such members of their families, as wish it, may work along with the rest of the men on their own land, and be paid weekly, so affording them present assistance, while their lands are permanently improved, and any tenant who chooses may diminish the expense, and consequently his per-centsge, by carting the tiles or stones that may be required for draining his land." Ile conditions on which this great boon is to be bestowed are, that the tenant shall pay half -yearly, with his rent, interest on the actual outlay at the rate of five per cent. per annum, and have the option of repaying the amount at any time, and so discontinu ing the payment of interest ; and accounts of the ex penditure of each farm will be open for inspection by the tenants: This is just and liberal, and we have no doubt that the tenantry on the Downshire estate will derive the greatest benefit from the judicious conduct of their noble landlord. It is the embarrassed and impoverished con dition of the landed proprietors generally, and their total inability to afford the necessary assistance to industrious and improving tenants, that has involved the country in such deplorable distress and destitution. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, the unflinching advocate of "tenant-right," has by his address afforded the strongest evidence that he is prepared to " practise" what he has so long and so incessantly preached. He gives a practical proof of his determination to carry out his own benevolent theories. He enters fully into the question of the principles on which rent should be fixed and ascertained. Comparatively little was required at his bands, for the Hon. Member for Roch dale has long been considered a " model landlord." Every tenant was well aware that he himself or his family would be permitted to enjoy the fruits of bis own imprisonment. At Crawfordstown, at least there was no danger that the rents would be im properly or unfairly increased, or that the occupier would be evicted from his holding without receiving ample compensation for any amelioration he might have effected. Various circumstances might occur that would render an increase or diminution of rent an act of common justice either to landlord or to tenant, but the former would notdeprive the latter of the fruits of his industry, or seek for advantages to which he was not justly entitled. Mr. CRAWFORD considers that fair proportions of the produce of the soil, based upon its productive powers, should be assigned to landlord and to tenants, and that at every new settlement of rent, whether of rise or fall, that principle should be fully carried out, and that however fairly a landlord's proportion may be arranged at any particular period, by the tenant being made liable to pty a certain annual slur in money, as representing a certain proportion of produce, that proportion, so arranged in money, may reprobated by levelling pamphleteers, a shame to the land, a disgrace to humanity, an atrocious and universal shibboleth. Why, if this writer had conned history aright he would have known sufficiently well that titles and ranks are the inevitable consequences of Government, no matter how organised, no matter whether a Despotism or a Commonwealth, a Monarchy or a Republic. He would have seen that distinctive designations have resulted from the estab• lishment of Democratic and Godless institutions quite as much as from the establishment of oligarchic and theocratic authorities.: If the popular representa tives of France under the Monarchy were termed " Honourable Members" of the Chamber of Deputies —the popular representatives of the United ;States under the Republic are, in like manner, termed " Honourable Members of Congress." If INTlcrfor-ts or PETER be designated the AUTOCRAT of all the Russian—TAYLOß or WASHINGTON will be found to be distinguished by the equally august title of President of the free cease to represent a just proportion of produce, and may become entirely:the reverse of a just proportion, by a change in the markets. lie, therefore, thinks, " that every letting of lands, whether for a longer or a shorter term, should be subject to a re - adjustment of rent, according to the prices of produce—either an nually, or from time to time, as may be agreed on." This is, in fact, the principle of " corn rents," which, although so little resorted to, is, perhaps, the most equitable that could be adopted for all parties. Mr. CRAWFORD is desirous of carrying out his views practically with his tenants, and for that purpose has inquired into the rents charged on the different parts of his property on lands out of lease. Some which had been charged according to valuations made by himself were estimated at a low scale of prices, ar,d would not generally require much change, but others, which had been assessed according to a valuation made by a professional valuator, appear to have been valued at a higher range of prices than he considers suitable to the prices now obtainable for agricultural produce. This grievance will, therefore, immediately be removed, the Hon. Gentlemen acting towards his tenants on the broad and equitable principle of " live and let live." Mr. CRAWFORD does not conclude his admirable letter without administering a seasonable rebuke to the Protectionist agitators who are now disturbing the country and deluding the people with the vain idea that a bread-tax would again be tolerated, or that the iniquitous corn laws would ever again be submitted to. His observations on these points are well worthy of notice. We shall not, however, at present enter into the political part of his address, but submit his conduct towards his tenantry as worthy of imitation by all persons who, whatsoever msy be their political predilections and views, are alive to the great fact that " property has its duties as well as its rights." UHE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. It appears th at M . PARRIEU ' S motion for de claring the Bill re l ating to the masters of primary schools ur gen t , was, in fact, carried by a majority of 1, instead of there being a tie, as was announced by the President after the first scrutiny of the votes, but it is considered improbable that the Ministry will venture, in opposition to such a formidable minority, to persevere with this Bill, and it was rumoured yester day that the Ministerial measure, and the Education Bill of M. DE FALLOUX would both be withdrawn. On the division the whole of the Mountain, to a man, voted against the Ministry as did the whole of the Moderate Republicans, including General CAVAIGNAC and M. DUFAURE. The ranks of the Legitirnatists, Orleanists, and parti pretre were completely divided, M. BERRYER voted against M. MOLE, and M. DE MONTALAMBERT igainst M. DE VATESMESNIL This division in the ranks of the Monarchists is of good omen for the stability of the Republic. It was rumoured that General D'llAuTroun was about to resign and to go to Algeria as Governor, and that M. LEON FAUCHER was about to enter the Cabinet. Neither of these rumours, how ever, obtained the slightest credit, and as a proof that no serious apprehensions are enter tained in conse q ue nce o f the division on Wednesday it may be mentioned that the price of public securi ties on the Bourse was not only well supported, Lut that a further rise took place. General CHANGARNIER is, it is said, to be appointed a Marshal of France. The Committee on the Affairs of La Plata met on Thursday, and agreed to the following resolution : " Since the Government does not recognia3 the Le Predour treaty, and that it believes that new negotia tions may lead to success, the National Assembly invites the Government to undertake them, at tho same time sending a safo present force to support these negotia tions, and to give an efficacious protection to our coun trymen." _ _ _ This resolution may be considered as a compromise between the Ministry and the war party. The Assemblee Nationale has the following on Sir R. PEEL'S letter to his tenantry :-- "This is language of a nature to have a great efftct on political parties in England, and, in fact, the document has already absorbed much of the public attention. But what we find most remarkable in it are the kind relations of sympathy which Sir Robert Peel establishes with his tenants. The spectacle presented to us by this statesman is a grand and noble one. The representative of the English aristocracy abandoning a part of his rents to his tenants to alleviate their burdens, and to constrain them to realise all the improvements with which science has enriched agriculture ; assisting them with his purse to recover in practical improvements the advantages which the importation of foreign corn has taken from the m for the benefit of the mz.nufacturing intr- rests; preaching by example that man triumphs over material difficulties by the force of wisdom, labour, per severance, and self-denial—yes, this spectacle, we say, is calculated to have an effect on French landed pro prietors; it is evidently the true, the only socialism which can preserve our rural districts from revolutionary Utopian schemes. Landed property in France, cut up in small portions, d nibtless cannot, as in England, place at the disposal of the farmer resources such as large English fortunes possess, and which Sir Robert Peel so gene rously affords to his tenants; but let good laws on credit fonder be voted in France, and we shall soon see our agriculture find in credit, which up to this time has failed it, those elements of prosperity which aro wanting to its development, and efficacious remedies against that usury which has sapped its vitals." At the meeting of the Legislative Assembly, yes terday, it was announced, that in consequence of some Members having voted twice, the real numbers on the division on the question of urgency on the Educa tion n d i ß e e i u l e , s ion ar were—forarose, u i n r g t e h n e c y e , ou 3 r o e B e ; e a f g w ai h n i s e t h it, it 3 e o p 7 . . peared that great irregularities had been committed be ehe returneddivision .8 s Seme in taking and countin t g oxivi.; T ejon lists Members, not wishing to vote had voted absen tees, and yet not wishing both ways; many Me er alowr, declared that they had voted in favour of the mbhs and d on 6 whom were General Ministry, a T l . th J ou E g a h N in D' t A h rz e G d they that h a a l ht a G od n . a b A et s en returned as absent.

The Five per Cents. opened i per cent. below yesterday's prices, but they soon began to rise steadily, and they ultimately closed a shade higher than yesterday. The Railway Eventualities have fallen a good deal to-day. Lyons and Avignoas opened at 15f., and closed at 14f. 75c,; Bordeaux and Cettes opened at 17f. 25c., and closed at 14f. 75e.

AUSTRIA. -- --- General Count WRIINA, who commanded the Im. perialists when they were defeated at Raab by the Hungarians, has committed suicide at Verona. The typhus fever was raging fearfully at Vienna on the 20th ult. No less than thirty two medical men had been seized with it from visiting their patients. - It was rumoured that an amnesty would be pro claimed on the let. The Stullgard Official Gazette publishes the fol- WIRTEMBERG. lowing address from the KING to his subjects : " Animated by a sincere desire to satisfy the exigencies of an epoch replete with progress, and faith fully to fulfil the promises which we made, we convoked the assembly of the deputies of the country to &liberate with them upon tho:e ckignve in the e whieti • -=•••• • •-• " rogatives of the nobility, and to conclude with them an ulterior fundamental compact. Moreover, upon our A N LTA R Y 4, 1850 accession to the throne we agreed with our people upon a constitution, to the maintenance of which the deputies solemnly pledged themselves in the name of the whole country, after our solemn promise to maintain that con stitution firm and inviolate, to execute it, end to pre . servo it from every infringement. " We were led to hope the changes invo'vei by that Constitution might be carried out in a short time, and that considering the mutual good-will and known loyalty that prevailed, our Government might be able to consecrate all its efforts to the best interests of the country, which had recently suffered so much, which it was impossible to do so long as there was any question relative to the constitution. But experience has most painfully convinced us, since the convocation of the Assembly, that the procedure adopted by the majority of its Members could not lead to the desired end, and that the excitement of passion threatened the real interest of the country. A few days before the opening of the Assembly the majority arrogated to itself the right of a private sitting to discuss the validity ol:a royal ordonnance, and to consider the abrogation of that ordennance as the legal right of the country, although such an act of the individual Members of the States is prohibited by the Constitution; by which, also, it is not allowable to a party comprising the majority of the Members of the States to adopt a resolution before it shall have been discussed and voted in constitutional form by the States in a sitting. " This procedure diminished our well-founded hope of the co operation of the national Representatives with ho Government, and it has beer: quite annihilated since the sittings of the Assembly, by the total absence of all impartiality in the debates. Under pretext that positive tight must give place to a pretended national right, the majority of the Assembly has broached principles, end declared consequences, which are utterly irreconcilble with a monarchical constitution, making the Constitu tion and the Government of the country dependent upon the arbitrary a ill of an accidental mujoti:y of the deputies. By a sage equilibrium of the rights of the organs of the Executive, however, the constitutional monarchy guarantees the liberty of all its subjects, and is bound to ensure the same. But this constitution C 47,11, ot subsist if this right, given to the Sovereign, be arbitrarily overturmd by the will of the organs who are called to take part in the administration of the Govern mutt. The resolution adopted by the majority of the Assembly charges our Government with having taken up a position altogether hostile to the States of the Germanic Confederation, and with standing aloof from any new form which the Constitution of Germany may take. " Every impartial person will understand that such coutetnpt of the Germanic Confederation would involve the most serious consequences to the whole country, and that the other German Governments would not suffer such an infringement upon the national duty which one t.t.tte owes to another. " We are convinced that the majority of the people desire that this policy should not be adopted. It would inevitably involve the ruin of the country and deprive ~ ur Government of every influence in the settlement of the affairs of Germany." HESSE DARMSTADT. The Chambers were opened on the 31st ult. BAVARIA. Accounts have been received from Munich to the 27th ultimo. The KING has appointed the Minister Vox DER PFORDTEN President of the Council.

The rate of interest has not yet been fixed, but is to be left to the discretion of the Minister of Finance• Mt .N 1 and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 7,000 bales, of which 4,000 were taken on speculation; including about 6,000 American, 200 Per nambuco at:6ael to 6-1-Id, and 400 Surat at 4d to 40 per lb. The market was firm, and prices of American were generally l id higher.—Railway Shares were firm at steady prices. The Corn Market is steady et about Monda)'s prices, vs lib a limited business doing. In the Colonial Produce Markets the transactions this week have been to a fair extent, and there have been fuller; rates paid for Coffee, some descriptions of Sugar, Tea, &c.

We hear nothing yet of the West India mail. The Overland advices from India are favourable as regards the demand for imported goods at Bombay, and higher prices were expected. Money was a little scarcer. At Calcutta business was quiet, but holders were firm. The supply of bills on London, owing to China drafts received, was fuller. In commenting upon the prospects of railways, a party connected with share dealings indulges rather sanguine anticipations. He states— " At present we will confine ourselves simply and briefly to the question now universally put—whether railway property ought to be bought or sold at present prices? We repeat, that those who have so far outlived the tempest should hold en, and those who can should immediately invest. And these arc our reasons:— " Ist. Tres worst feature —the incapacity and treaehery of directors—has been thoroughly exposed, and will be rectified. "2d. A perfect system of audit will now be insisted upon, and the restoration of confidence will be the result. "3d. An entire remodelling of the duties and respon sibilities of directors, applicable to the most perfect control and development of the traffic, expenditure, and finance, are now ineviable. Tho results will be an end to the prodigality and dishonesty of borrowing money upon the fictitious sy stem of preference shares, of jobbing with trust property in dealing in shares of other companies, a well-developed traffic sheared of much useless expen diture, and a vigorous and enlightened management, 'hat can comprehend the wants and rights of the public, as well as the interests of the shareholders. "4th. The money market is now, and is likely to be for a long period to come, so redundantly supplied with the precious metals, that in proportion as the rate of interest rules low, so will the value of public securities advance. Railway debentures will be sought after at a lower interest than now paid, the saving upon which will of course be gain to shereh lders. " sth. The period since October, 1845, to the present day liras been one of competition amongst sellers, and tierce a continually rapid decline: the glut of money must soon produce a competition with buyers, when the contrary will be the effi ct. With Consols at 100 and a continuous influx of gold, will railway shares remain at their present depreciation? Certainly not." The Funds have taken a further start again to day, Consols having touched 971, though since back, upon a large sale made by a leading broker, to Hi to 97. The impression in some quarters appears to be that a good deal of Stock will be delievered on the first transfer-jay, and that this will have the effect of temporarily depress ing the market; hut there is in favour of high prices the excellent return of our export trade, analysed yesterday under this head, and the expectation of a good revenue. A good dual of Bulling has no doubt been carried on, but with money every day becoming cheaper, the ulti mate prospect is certainly favourable.

BELGIUM On the Ist day of the year the Belgium Chamber of Representatives presented an address to the KING It was observed in the address in question, that on commencing the year which will close the first half of the nineteenth century, the Belgian ration could discover, with sentiments of pride, that its existence as a free and independent one occupied— so far as duration was concerned--a more important place in that period than even its annexation to France or to Holland. Recent political events had left Belgium—thanks to the cha racter of its institutions—in the most advantageous position. Although not powerful enough to take part in great international discussions, that country possessed, beyond its frontiers, an influence second to none, by showing other na ti ons th e o bj ects wh i ch should be held in view, as well as the means for attaining them. Even in highly cultivated countries, such as Germany, the Belgian fundamental constitu tion had been very often referred to, appreciated, and turned to account. Belgium, obeying the true laws of humanity, and understanding the future, had not ceased to tread judiciously the path of progress by extending, for example, the elective franchise as far as possible, abolishing the stamp duty on newspa pers, releasing certain categories of persons from the payment of taxes, increasing the moral strength of the Legislature, establishing funds for the aid of the working classes, and for providing them with retiring pensions in their old age, and by adopting a great number of administrative measures which manifest, in other respects, a lively sympathy for the working classes. In conclusion, the address expressed ardent wishes for the welfare of their Majesties and the royal family, thanking the KING for imbuing the princes with constitutional principles and true patriotism, and the QUEEN for showing them the example of all virtues, above all, of a truly Christian charity. To this address his MAJESTY made the following reply, Gentlemen,—l am happy to find myself sur rounded anew, on this solemn occasion, by so nu merous a deputation from the Chamber—a Chamber which has eminently distinguished itself by its wis dom, its high intelligence, and a true understanding of the interests of the country. Belgian nationality encompassed by so many perils, and having to pass through so many difficulties and threatening casual ties, has been enabled to attain to consolidation, thanks to the exemplary spirit of its population. We have a great and noble future before us. In order that our nationality may be strong and durable, two things are required—it must appeal to the heart and to the mind, and must be based on feeling and on reason. The harmony and wisdom of the Chambers may do much to preserve those valu able elements. In this country a good understand ing exists between the rich and elevated classes of society and the working classes. The latter only ask for work. Everything must be done, there fore, to allow of the produce of their labour being advantageously disposed of. The attainment of that object is the greatest service that could be rep ' dered to the well-conducted working classes, so calm and so devoted to order. I recommend this idea in an especial manner to the Chamber, an idea the more worthy of being considered, inasmuch as great good may be the result of it. :It is thus we may hope to see our excellent population resist the temptations to which their minds and their passions may be sub jQcted. We shall thereby become enabled to dispense with the system of succour by mums of subsidies—a system which destroys productive work, discourages personal initiation, and, in the long run, exercises a lamentable effect on all the population. It is in such measures, combined with a wise and prudent maintenance of our institutions, that we shall find the strongest guarantees for the honourable preservation of peace and public tranquillity. The more excellent a position the greater the necessity to exercise prudence and caution in touching any part which may compromise its elements or endanger its security. The session just opened may give by your efforts, Gentlemen, very favourable results in that respect. I thank the President of the Chamber for what he has been pleased to say to the Queen and the Princes. The Princes, Gentlemen, are, indeed, pa triotic ; and I trust they will every day render them selves more worthy to fill with honour and with de votedness the important duties to which the future may call them. I beg of M. le President and Messieurs the Repre sentatives to receive again my sincere thanks for the proofs of affection they . have given me, and for the wishes which they have expressed for all my family. ITALY. The Lew of Turin of the 29th ult. states that it had been supposed that the important question of the eligibility of ecclesiastics to be elected as Deputies would have come on for discussion on the question of the admission of Father ISNARDI, who had been returned by the electoral college of Varnazze. Father IsmIRDI is President of the National College of Genoa. This being considered an administrative office under the Government, the election was declared void, and thus the question of the eligibility of ecclesiastics was not raised. It was supposed that the Chambers would be definitively constituted on the following day. It is said that the refusal of the Government to grant letters of naturalization to Count MAMMIANI, was in consequence of the personal remonstrances made by the Pope's Nuncio. The Sardinian Government will, as one of its earliest measures, present to the Chamber of Repre sentatives a Bill, by which all-the restrictions at pre sent imposed upon British vessels arriving at the ports of Sardinia are to be removed, and they are to be placed in every respect upon the same footing as national vessels. PINELLI was on the 29th ult. elected President of lie Sardinian Chamber of Deputies. T N ATE .AVIGATION Laws. —The example of the British Parliament in freeing ccamerce and naviga tion from every restriction is about to be followed by the Sardinian Government.
