Through the mere hint of this reminiscence he pours over the turmoil of factions the balm of effectual conciliation. His sense of the difficulties of his po sition, his knowledge of the jealousy with which his slightest action is regarded, his ac quaintance with the suspicions entertained in reference to his own dynastic ambition, fail in any degree to influence the candour of his expressions, or to disturb, even for an instant, the clearness of his broad and imperturbable judgment. He scans with the lucidity of an experienced ruler the whole of the complicated machinery of administration, taking a rapid but, at the same moment, complete and com prehensive retrospect of the occurrences which, dur ing the last year, have in France furnished materials for her future annialiat. Aware that the piiucipal difficulty he has had to encounter since his nomination es PRESIDENT is that of interiorre-organization, Louts NAPOLEON reverts with some complacency to those measures which have led to the revival of something like order and prosperity, more or less, throughout the whole of the departments. Reminding the Legislature that he had caused no less than 421 mayors and 183 adjoints to be dismissed, the PRESIDENT directed their attention to the im proved spirit which had again begun to manifest itself among the municipalities. Calling to mind the cir cumatance of his having found it necessary to dissolve the National Guard in 153 towns and communes, he intimated that in those instances the localities were no longer liable to perpetual and unceasing dis quietude. With reference to the wholesome cle mency evinced towards the criminal population by the Republican Government, he stated that as many as 2,400 convicts bad been liberated without endangering the public tranquillity ; and, deducting 458 more who had been sent across the Mediterranean to Algeria, observed that 348 still remained in the prisons, in whose behalf his Ministers proposed to lay before the Assembly a project of law ensuring them relief by a system of agricultural colonization. Adventuring upon another section in his retrospect the PRESIDENT maintained that his policy had been fproductive of very great and conspicuous financial advantages. Inst ea d o f E n di ng a b u d ge t o f 300,000,000 francs imposed upon the Treasury, the national representatives would, he remarked, thanks to the progress of the revenue and to the economy introduced into the different services, find the deficit reduced to 100,000,0001. Besides which, he continued, such were the benefi cent fruits of internal order and tranquillity, that the tunds deposited in the savings' banks from the Ist of January, 1849, bad already exceeded the withdrawals by 69,000,000'. Other encouraging particulars are also enumerated in the paragraphs of the Message immediately following, and, by a judicious transition, the scrutiny of the Assembly is next directed towards the great progress simultaneously made in the Ina nagement and development of Public Works. Copious details of a statistical character are there upon given in reference to the enterprise mani fested in the construction of national railroads, Regard is next had to the real and apparent condition of commerce and of agriculture. Louis NAPOLEON observes in reference to this department of the public service that attention has all along been had to the compensation of such a reduction in the price of grain as would produce a corresponding de• preesiou in the cattle markets—a compensation only to be secured with any degree of justice by a regard being had to the patronage of the breeding of cattle by the administration of agriculture. Referring to the precautionary measures of quarantine, Louis NAPO LEON very sagaciously reprobates the exaggeration of such measured, as tending to trammel the liberty of international relations. Equally sa, isfactury statements are afterwards made in the course of the Presidential Message in al luvion to the department of justice, due consideration being had to each of those draughts of essential laws already submitted to the Assembly—those on mort gages, on judiciary assistance, and on judiciary or genization. As to the necessities of public instruct , ion and religious worship, the P_ ItEsIDENT avows that every solicitude has been shown to the urgency of heir requirements. After recording with au expres 'ion of pleasure the important fact that the Holy S, e had created three colonial bishoprics, and had . ppoiuted three prelates for the island of La tteunion, for Martinique, and f,r Guadeloupe, he con trines with an air of exultation —" The SOVEREIGN l'oasirf proclaimed at the same consistory three new 2ardinals granted to the French Church as an Erni ient proof of gratitude towards oar nation and of stem fur the French Episcopacy," A brief but significant paragraph in reference to ee war department evidence the scrupulous anxiety I the Republican Government to economise the public esources without jeopardising the national train- Luillity—as, for instance, where it is observed at the army has bsen gradually reduced from r 51,000 men and 93,754 horses to 396,000 men sad 87,400 horses while arrangements are being made for its still further diminution , Sitaultaneously it is shown by Louis NAPOLEON that he has had an eye to the better organization of the ma rine forces of the Republic, forces which embrace now 125 ships, manned by 22,561 sailors, whereas, in 1848, he former numbered 235, and the latter 29,331. l'hese particulars go tar to corroborate the ein :erity of those pacific intentions which have been xpressed by the French PRESIDENT, when speaking ' the foreign relations of the Republican Govern t. Perhaps the most important part of this •ction of the Message is its commencement, where allusion is made to the most remark. able achievement of Fi ench *arms since the outbreak of the revolution. The language of the PRINCE .upon this subject is simple and emphatic. " Since ny last message," sae s he, " our foreign policy has abtained in Italy a great success. Our arms have , verthrown at Rome that turbulent demagogy w hich hroughout the I'alian Peninsula had compromised he cause of true liberty, and our brave soldiers have had the signal honour of replacing Pope Pius IX. on '.he throne of St. PETER. The spirit of party will fail in ~ bscuring this memorable deed, which will form a glorious page for France." As to the diplomatic policy of his Ministry, the Puiricir has found every reason for expecting with some show of confidence the felicitations of the national repro-. sentatives. Turkey, Greece, Spain, and Denmark have alike experienced from France the good and friendly offices of her Guvernment—the Cabinet, which was once accustomed but " to set the world in arms," entering, and with success, upon the labours of international conciliation. After a masterly resume of the entire Message, a resume in which the Prince Louts NAPOLEON grapples boldly with the various and complicated difficulties by which he finds himself still more than ever surrounded, he closes his address to the Assembly with these bold and manly exclamations :—" I have honestly opened my heart to you. You will respond to my frankness by your confidence—to my good intentions by your co operation ; and GOD will do the rest." Language worthy of a patriotic statesman and of the chief ma gistrate of a, .young but vigorous democracy. From our rapid, but suggestive, synopsis of this int portaot Message, we are satisfied that it must be suf ficiently obvious we were justified in declaring it worthy of being ranked among the most brilliant documents of the Republican Government. Another terrific explosion of fire-damp has carried digmg among the collieries. • Most earnestly do we hope that in the net some effectual preventive will be discovered by scientific experituentslista for the pre servation of the unforturnite miners from the dangers of these melaneln)ly catastrophes. Hitherto, un happily, although of frequent recurrence, no effieit nt means of security has yet been suggested. Neverthe less, in spite of the long r.hsen e of any N uch t phi'an thropic hint, we are still sanguine that some simple remedy is discoNerable. The apparent miracles ac complhbed from time to time by the in g►enuity of our chemical or mechanical philoso phers encourage us in this confident expec titie,n. From a sense of the beneficent things already effected, through the medium of researches made in the laboratory, we are, still filled with a reliance on the resources of that great department of intellectual inquiry.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1850. Everything considered, the Message addressed to the National Assembly by the French PRESIDENT May be ranked by the Republic among the most brilliant of ber official documents. Throu;bout every sentence breathes . the serenity of a statesman, and, yet with all the calmness befitting the office of the chief magistrate, there :s perceptible, at, the same time, the fervour nspired by a genuine and practical patriotism. Louts NAPOLEON has, in this formal utterance, of his opinions, entitled himself to the re.' specs of all those who, in spite of his sagacious po licy, ever since his election on the 10th of December, have reserved fo him the contempt eogendered by two unfortunate remembrances. By this Presi. dentin' 111-ssPge, detcd from the Pal ce of the Elys6e, he hes at length permanently obliterated the memory of his previous traicilculatious. The histo rian of artillery has shown himself in yet notber and a greater department—the department not of litera° to e but of gebeernmen.— vorclay of repe seetiog the puissant and imperial house of the BNNAPIRTES In the very exordium of this masterpiece its excel lence becomes perceptible, where, addressing himself o the Asembly, be reminds the members of that THE SUN, LON DON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBERF, 14, 1850. Warsaw were held solely for the purpose of con certing measures against Prussia and the revolu tionary pr<paganda in Europe. Prince GERTSUAKOFF, the Russian Minister, pre sented his credentials to the Frankfort Diet on the 11th. " Lord PALMEIU , TON," says a letter from Berlin of the 10Lb, in the Cologne Gazette, " has declared in a dispatch that up to this time he has abstained from any intervention in the affairs of Germany, in order not to offend the susceptibility of the nation, and be cause he had confidence in the wisdom of our states- Mkt]; but now that events have assumed another cha racter, the Noble Lord advises the two Cabinets to make mutual concessions." HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, Nov. 12. The report of the Second Chsmber on the priject of law for granting a life pension to three ex-mem bers of the old First Chamber has just been pub lishtd. Tho report speaks very unfavourably of the propo.al.

The misery of having to earn a wretched liveli hood by toiling in the bowels of the earth, hidden all the day from the blessed light of the heavens, is surely sufficient for those indus trious operative, without rendering any fur ther sorrow necessary, as an incitement to their energies. Yet, added to the regrets engendered, doubtless, amongst the more reflective members of the class, are the horrid anxieties consequent upon the sense of their continual peril. A knowledge that at any moment, almost, they are liable to be instanta neously destroyed, or what is perhaps worse, fright fully and painfully mutilated, is enough, in all con science, to render them alien for ever to every feeling of happiness. Besides which, the recollection of their perpetual liability to destruction in this terr;fic man ner is sufficient to interfere with the proper per formance of their duties For the diesipation of these great evils we shall continue to be most solicitous, at any rate until such time as we shall see an endeavour, at the very least, to bring about the prevention of their continuance. From the particulars already given of the latest of these calamities, the one which took place as re cently as Monday in the Houghton Pit, near New bottle, it will be seen that, as in the majority of similar cases, it was preceded by no premonitory symptomß of the coming danger. In the midst of their subterranean labours the unfortunate work men were startled by a loud but muffled explosion, followed by all the horrors of that atmospheric catastrophe. Their condition at this moment appears to have been more than usually terrible. These who were not actually killed, either by burning or suffo cation, are described as having retreated a few yards into a little purer air and there become stationary, " They soon discovered," says the report, " that they were hemmed in by a body of choke-damp, to pass through which would have been impossible, for any of them on attempting to enter it but a few yard s were overcome, and would have fallen, had they not hastily ,retreated. On consulting together, it was considered the safest plan to remain where they were, and trust to the exertions that would be made to reach them from the shaft, by carrying in the air; and they did so remain for between five or six hours, until their delivery was effected. Before that time had expired many a stout heart quailed in prospect of certain death. A dread solemnity pervaded the mind of every one ; impenetrable darkness increased the agony of feeling, and the silence of this tomb of the living was only broken by wild ejaculations of despair, feria nt prayer, and supplications to the ALMIGHTY for deli verance, or at intervals by signal shouts intended to guide any exploring party to the sepulchral abode. It 13 impossible for the pen to portray the condition of these poor men during this long and fearful period, or convey any adequate conception of their joy and gra titude on being rescued from such extreme peril and restored to their anxious and mourning friends, who gathered round the pit-mouth awaiting in silence and resignation the return of each exhausted party from the poisonous atmosphere of the workings." Any position more terrible under the cir cumstances we can scarcely imagine ; and yet, grievous as was the character of this fa'al casualty near Newbottle, it has frequently been ex ceeded in disastrous consequences by other explosions within our recollection. Fortunately this time the destruction of lite scarcely exceeded that of a quarter of a hundred of individuals, including the roily- boys and waggon-men. On many previous occasions the result has been quadrupled, and in one or two in stances the victims have been even yet more nume rous. Notwithstanding, however, that previous calamities of a similar description may have exceeded the present one numerically, intrinsically the mis fortune has been in every particular sufficiently calamitous. To the families of those who have perished it hag, for exetnple, brought nothing but destitution and wretchedness. To them it matters Got that more millers have been before now blown to atoms, or charred to mummies by a like explo.i o n elsewhere—they have lust their relations, and in some instances their supporters, by a sudden and frightful death. And with each of these occurrences through out the locality iu which it happens to transpire, the sense of daring encountered iu mining operations propsga'es itself in a manner so contagious as to affect in a great measure the sentiments of the entire population. Evils and evils of a very appreciable kind, can alone arise out of this popular dread of destruction. The influence soon pros-es itself to be pernicious; and unless some active mea sures be adopted for the scientific prevention of such calamities as those to which we are now reverting, the baneful effects of this feeling of insecurity must ultimately tend to mar the industrial energies of the people living and labouring in the col ieries. Inso much are we persuaded of this, that a certain sense of dread for the con& quences of further inactivity begins to blend with our anxieties for the removal of the existing danger. We look forward, therefore, with renewed eagerness to the time when the prin ciple of benevolence shall be vindicated by philosophy in reference to the condition of our mining popula tion. That science has the capacity to guard against the recurrence of those continual perils we are confident. The admirable invention of the miner's lanthorn by Sir HUMPHREY DAVY is to our mind but as the germ of a great system of precautions, an incitement to further inquiry rather than an object merely idle admiration. Tu our ,scientific exprimen ,alists, therefore, to our chemical and mechanics philosophers, these colliery explosions appeal more . _ peculiarly and i❑dividuaily. To them we look for the ulterior guardians Lip of this large and important sec thin of our industrious fellow , countrymen. Let then, be excited to new efforts at dit,covery by a convic tion that their success in those endeavours must tend t) alleviate a vast amount of human suffering, and to save the lives of those s►urdy toilers who can be least spared out of the whole body of the community.

SIIIRELL.---OH Tuesday the property taken by the police from Mr. Sirrell's premises in Barbican, pending the charges made against him at the Mansion-house, wa.- , returned by order of the Po lice Commissioners. Immediately after the discharge of Mr. Sirrell on Tuesday last, on the several London charges made against him, Messrs. Lewis, his solicitors, made arpli cation to the Commissioners of Police fir the restoration of the property seized, which led to an interview between Mr. J. G. Lei and Mr. Aayr,e, the Chief Commissioner; and the result wasthat the property, except some few art ic!es for which pirties had applied, waa on Tuesday taken back.from 11 hitehall to Barbican.

THE POLIsII BALL AT GUILDHALL THIS EVEN ING.—We rejoice to hear that the success of this charitable undertaking is i.o longer doubtful. The brisk sale of tickets tor the last tew days, and particularly yesterday, shows the interest felt by the public in the fate of Poland, an'! the popularity of the ball, which, in point of splendour and brilliancy, has not its equal. The one which takes place this evening will be rendered doubly so by all the arrange ments made, which will enure the comfort and enjoyment of the company. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The great topic on which they ail comment is, of course, the klessage,:of the PRESIDENT; that the journals of the Elyree, such as the Conttitutionnel, the Patrie, and the Par, should praise it as the per fection of wisdom anu honesty, was to have been ex pected, but it seems by its tune of moderation to have disarmed many who have recently been foremost in the ranks of the PRESIDENT'S opponents. The Ordre, for instance, thus speaks of this important document : " For our part, we who have been obliged with pain to ourselves to be more than once severe, although not wilfully unjust in our judgments, we will not now de scend to a war of chicanery, of recrimination, or .of rancour against the first magistrate of the Republic, when in the face of Eur.:;pe he take* such forwal en gagements. We will neither be fla ters nor dupes. We are res,lved to serve alone the int rests of our ciuntry; but since Louis Boraparte avows like intentions, we have not, so long as he cuntinas in this line, to coad.a his policy." The Debate specks of the - propriety and delicacy with which the PRESIDENT has alluded to the question of the revision of the Constitution as beyond ail praise, and expresses an assurance that this part of the Message will find numerous and most lively sympa thies throughout the country. The Notional, in commenting upon the [Message, says that it is in acts, not in words, that the policy of a Government is shown, and declares that the acts of the PRESIDENT are in direct contradiction to his words ; and, in allusion to the expressions of respect for the Constitution with which the Message con cludes, asks whether that respect was shown in the encouragement given to the non-commissioned officers to raise the cry of "To the Tuileries," at the ban quets of the Elysee; whether it was manifested by the reviews of Satory and the dismissal of General NEUMAYER, or by the suppression of the liberties guaranteed by the Constitution, more particularly of universal suffrage. Having asked these questions, the National thus proceeds : " It we cannot praise the Message for what it has said, we cannot do it the more for what it does not say. Is there a mention in the Message of the restitution of suppressed liberties, such as the liberty of the press, of tee right of meeting, of association? Not a word. Is there a question of one of the great reforms which the revolution of February placed on the order of the day? No. Is there a mention of a foreign policy which, in securing our legitimate influence in Europe, stould be truly conformable to our interests and to our principles, and create us alliances wherever liberty revives and public rights vindicate themselves ? No. Is there a mention of the re-establishment of universal suffrage, which alone can express the power of the national will, and cut the Gordian knot tied by the competition of parties? Not a word. The chief of the executive power had a certain means of securing the future, of appeasing the agitation of the public mind, of inspiring confidence, and changing into activity the para lysis which had seized on c.anmerce and manufactures. It was not to make sterile promises, of which all govern ments have been prodigal; but to present himself . before the Assembly with a series of Bills, having for object and effect to restore to our, institutions their sincerity, to neglected rights the guarantees assured them by the constitution, to principles their regular application, to the sovereignty of the people the universal urn, to the Republic the very conditions of its existence. This what has not been dune. This is why nothing of the groundwork of the state of things will be changed. There is not a sad reality the less —there is only one promise the more." The &ode takes advantage of the delivery of this Message to renew its protest against the Roman ex pedition, and the restoration of sacerdotal despotism in Rome by the arms of the French Republic. The funds rose immediately after the contents of the PRESIDENT'S Message became known on the Bourse. It was considered improbable, by those in Paris who are the best informed on the subject that, hosti lities would take place in Germany. The National describes an amusing caricature of the King of PRUSSIA which has just been published in Paris. In his right hand he holds a paper on which is inscribed " order"—in his left another on which is inscribed " counter-order"— whilst on his forehead is inscribed in large letters the word " disorder." At the sitting of the Assembly yesterday MM. Diau, LEON FAUCHER, BENOISTD' A ZY, and General BEDFAU were all re-elected and proclaimed vice-presidents. The old secretaries, MM. ARNAULD (de l'Arriege), LACASE, CHAPoT, HECREREN, BERAUD, and PEUPIN were also re-elected. Several projects of law for credits were then adopted without any discussion. The Minister of Foreign Affairs presented a projet de loi for the ratification of the treaty of navigation and commerce, recently concluded between France and Sardinia. M. ANToNT THODRET then rose to propose that the Prorogation Committee should deposit the minutes it has drawn up on the incidents which have created so much agitation in the course of the vacation, and that the minutes of the different meetings of the corn mittee should re printed and distributed. The motion was seconded by M. BAUDIN. M. ODILON BARROT then rose and said that the Prorogation Committee did not consider it necessary to present a report, arm that be hsd, therefore, no further explanations to givk on the subj , et. He terminated by moving the order f the day, which was voted by an immense majority. The House then rose. Th e Comrnittie appointed to consider the demand made by the Procureur-General tor leave to prosecute CHAVOIX, who killed M. DUPONT in a duel, his refused to grant it. M CHAvoix, who is a Repub lican, has, contrary to all French rules in such cases, been kept a close prisoner at Toulouse, ever since the duel. The Committee appointed to examine the Bill in trodued by the questors, relative to the paying of the salary of the Commissary of Police of the Assembly, has reported in favour of the measure. Al. A. DE KERDREL is appointed reporter. BOURSE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY, NOY. 13.

According to one account a conciliatory note had been rec e i ve d from Vienna, and the A ustr i an Ambassador had had an i char a cter w i t h the KING; according to another rumour war appeared inevitable, and the Austrian Ambassador had demanded his passports. Accounts from Hesse state that the Bavarians were advancing on Cassel on the 1 Ith ; the head-quarters of the Prussians were at Vacha. The Prince of PRUSSIA has arrived at Eisenach to take the command of the troop s . S ev eral companies had arrived there by express trains, and had been ordered forward into the Electorate.

The Deut sc h e Z e it ung atm B o h m en states, i n a very extraordinary article, that th 3 late conferences at ITALY PRINCESS'S THEATRE. The t•uozessful drama of The Templar was last night followed by a new farce, entitled Betsey Baker; or, Too Attentive by Half. The hero of this piece is Mr. Mouser (Mr. Keeley), a gentleman in the legal )i - ofession, who is so completely devoted to his wife (Miss Murray) that his attentions annoy her. Mr. Crummy (Mr. J. Vining), the wife's cousin, remedies this unpleasant state of things by bribing Betsey Baker (Mrs. Keeley), a coarse laundry girl, to win Mouser's heart. She unwillingly consents, and MC. ceeds so well that Mouser, in spite of much resistance, is subdued at last, and actually sends her a letter, which being opened in the establishment of which Betsey is a member, renders him an object of attention to some fifty washerwomen. The wife's jealousy is aroused, and she is forced to confess that too much attention at home is, after all, better than attention bestowed elsewhere. The expedient of the cousin, on which the plot of this piece depends, is neither very wise nor very ingenious. The story sometimes grows unnecessarily improbable, and there is a tendency to dwell too long on each situation. On the other band, the dialogue is frequently humorous, and, what was far more conducive to the success of the piece, the acting of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley was absolutely per fect. Mrs. Kecley's indignant demand of her patens, that she may depart, when first she hears the cousin's proposal, and is not yet persuaded to consent, and the qradual thawing of Mr. Keeley's stern morality on hearing that he has made a compact, are little touches of nature that could not be surpassed. The pair were loudly demanded at the fall of the curtain. ARRIVAL OF PIGEONS FROM SIR JOHN ROSS.— We regretted to observe that an erroneous account appeared in last week's Glasgow papers regarding the arrival of car rier pigeons at Annan Hill, near Kilmarnock. The facts are these :—On leaving Ayr, ➢Miss Dunlop, of Annan Hill, pre sented Sir John Ross with two pairs of carrier pigeons —an old and a young pair. It was arranged that he should dispatch the young birds when he had fixed himself in winter quarters, and the old when he fell in with Sir John Franklin. On Sunday, the 13th inst., two strange pigeons were observed flying about the cot at Annan Hill, which, being under repair at the time, was unfortunately shut. Suspicion was excited, and on th following Thursday they were traced to the seat of a neighbouring gentleman, and one was secured. The dove cot contains forty compartments or nests, ranged in double tiers of ten each, on opposite sides of the cot, and the bird, on being placed in the house, at once flew into its clt nest, a little beyond the centre of the right aide row. All those who knew the pie n previously (and the 'initiated have no idea how distinct the personal identity of birds is to 'hose who make them their study) declare that there is not Lhe slightest doubt of its being one of the young pair pre sented to Sir John. Iti wings were ruffled and somewhat torn, showing, very probably, that the dispatch attached to it had worn off in the long and weary flight of somewhere about 2,000 miles. Unfortunately, therefore, there is no written intelligence from the explorers. The other bird has not been caught. We remember of no similar feat being per formed by a pigeon; but it is not altogether unparalleled in natural hi , tory, as the following authentic anecdote will show: One of the Kings of France, while hunting one after noon near Fontainbleau, lost a favourite hawk of a Maltese breed. Next forenoon it was discovered asleep on a tree in Malta at a distance of 1,500 miles, having been brought from the island hooded. The speed at which it must have flown must have been immense, if we suppose that the bird had obeyed its usual instinct, and rested during the night. The carrier pigeon travels at the rate of from 40 to 60 miles an hour, and is not believed to rest during the night. The above is an incident which must live in the history of the pigeon race, and we give the particulars on the best authority.... Ay r Observer. Letters from Buenos Ayres reach to the 6th of September. and from Monte Video to the 14th. At the former place the exchange on England was 70s. per doub loon. British manufactures were in demand. The treaty with the French Republic, after having been signed by Ad miral Le Predour and General Oribe, had been dispatched by the Prony steamer to France, which vessel has arrived at Toulon. The French troops had landed at ilonte Video. The last accounts from Algiers state that the cholera continued prevalent, but that there had not been any remarkable increase of cases. Local affairs were proceeding quietly. The extension of agricultural pursuits was notice able in some quarters of the in; erior. The Newfoundland papers mention that the potato blight bad occasioned serious damage, not only in that place but also in the neighbourhood of Conception Bay. The atten tion of the Government authorities to the subject, it was said, , would be immediately necessary, in order that the proper treasures might be adopted to provide for the wants of the poorer classes during the depth of winter. REPAIRS AT THE MANBION FIOUSE.—We under stand that in consequence of the repairs required at the Man sion -house the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress will not c take up their abode there until Ch r i stmas shall have con luded. The Delegate of Police at Florence summoned on the sth the editors of the Statuto and the Constitu zionale, and informed them that the Government ould not allow any further criticism of the decrees of S-ptember, suspending the constitution end the law on the press, even though such articles be bor rowed from foreign journals; adding that, if this in junction were rot attended to, the Government would have recourse to severe measures against the above mentioned journals. In the Oling of the 7th of the Chamber of Depu ties of Turin, the Minister of the Interior presented a Bill to authorise the Government to collect taxes, and effect the payments of the State, for the two months of December and January; but the Chamber not beg in sufficient number no discussion was commenced on the subject. Immediately after the passing of this Bill the Chambers are to be prorogued. The Risorgimento of Turin, of the Bth, states that Signor MAMELI, the Piedmontese Minister of Public Instruction, has resigned. HER MAJEST Y'S THEATRE. GRAND .NATIONAL CONCERTS. The first musical homage to the World'a Exhibition of 1851, and to its originator, Prince Albert, was paid last evening by the conductors of the Grand .Na tional Concerts, who, in honour we imagine, of the approaching Industrial Festival of all Nations, pro duced " The Great Quadrille of all Nations," com posed expressly for these concerts by Herr Labitzky, and dedicated to his Royal Highness Prince Albert. Never has anything approaching the orchestral strength put forth in the production of this quadrille, been known in this country. In addition to the monster orchestra of the Grand National Con certs, and to the full strength of the English and German choristers, the whole of whom took part in the production of the quadrille by singing the various national anthems, from the harmonization of which the quadrille is formed, there were the band of the First Life Guards (under the direction of Mr. Waddell), the band of ;ho Grenadier Guards (under the direction of Mr. Schott), the band of the Scots Fusilier Guards (under the direction of Boosee), and a corps of military side drums. These various bands were admirably managed ; sometimes we had the whole of tf,em pouring forth a mighty torrent of sound ; then again the voices alone were heard ; again the strain would be taken up by a band at the very hack of the stage, behind the scenes, and the distant music thus produced would be echoed as it were from the air by a band located somewhere at the back of the gallery, near the roof of the house, and then again the various bands and voices would join in one grand crash. The effect was sublime. Herr Labitzky managed these various bands with the greatest ease and the most perfect mastery, producing an accuracy and crispness of intonation that we have never heard exceeded. The first figure consisted of a harmonisation of the various national airs of England, Europe, and America. The second the Russian Na tional Hymn, with variations for the flute, performed by Mr. Richardson ; first and second clarionet, performed by MN. Franc and May cock; and bassoon, performed by M. Baumann. Third figure, Austrian Hymn, with variations, for the cornet-it-pistons, performed by M. Ar ban. Fourth figure, "Vive Henri Quatre," and " Yarkee Doodle, ' with variations, for cornet a pistons, performed by M. Arban ; oboe, performed by NI. Barret ; and piccolo, performed by M. Remusat. The grand finale introduced " Rule Britannia " " Auld Lang Sync," " St.. Patrick's Diy,"" Yankee Doodle," " Vive Henri Quatre," the Russian and Austrisn Hymns, by the four bands, and the English and tierman chorus. The various solo players were rapturously applauded and frequently encored, and v, hen at the conclusion the whole orchestra struck up " God save the Queen," the enthusiasm was at its height; the whole house rose, and amidst the waving Of hats and handkerchiefs, loud cheers were , pouted, which continued until the end of the per formance, when there was a unanimous call for an encore, arid the National Anthem was again repeated, , midst the expressions of the most enthusiastic loyalty on the part of the audience. The Grand National Quadrille is a decided hit, and will prove a great at traction. The house was crowded to excess in every part. Paid. ------= 2 • __•—•-•-7.- --- ____-- e• et o• f.
