ABREST of the PARLIAMENTARY LEADERS. The illornivg herald publishes, in a Third Edi. ion, the following i m portant dispatch recei ve d by k submarine telegraph, dispatched this morning 10 ,t.u. from Paris. (BY SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.) (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, TUESDAY, TEN A.m. The Assembly is dissolved, and also the Council of State. Paris is in a state of siege. The PRESIDENT restores universal suffrage, and appeals to th e peop l e . H e p ro p oses a Presidency of ten years, and two Chambers. Paris quiet. Generals Cior A/GliAc, r vIiAIIGARNIER, CHARICAS, and LAMORICIERES, and M. THUM, have been arrested and conducted to Vincennes.—Chronicle. Yesterday was announced one of ever those important k decisions which more or less afterwards a ff e ct the interests of our population. What renders the circurnatance 3ot more deserving of remembrance is the fact that the judgment in question is calculated to influence from this time forth, not only the opera tions of a retuak/hle I.w, but the general fortunes of ow literature. After allowing time enough to elapse to admit of their arriving at a deliberate an' well- THE SU considered (determination, four of the Judges of the realm pronounced the views entertained by each of them individually, in reprd to the periodical issue of a monthly publication called the: Household Nar rative. It is well- known to the generality, that the paper here mentioned is nothing less than an epitome of the most noticeable events of the hour, compiled from the columns of the public newspaper: and printed as a politico .miscellaneous supplement to Household Words—Household Words being itself one of the most distinguished examples of cheap and popular literature that has appeared within our generation. Another reflection has caused the reading classes of the community to watch with peculiar interest the progre ss of the action now very happily terminated, a reflection no less qualified to arouse their sympathies than the fact of this Household Narrative being the property ankin some sort also the effusion of one of the most illustrious writers of the age. Anything affecting the personal interests of CHARLES DICKENS would not fail to affect also the interests of his con- temporaries : more particularly when, as in the present instance, the matter under consideration was a right spreading out in all imaginable directions through the intricate webwork of periodical literature. Hence the curiosity with which every step in these.proceedings has been noticed and the satisfaction with which their close has been observed in consequence of the deci sion being given in favcur of the printers, and through them in favour of the proprietor, of the Household IVarrative. Three of the eminent authorities who adjudicated upon the case referred to, pronounced a judgment ad verse to the plaintiff, while one alone expressed opi nions opposed to the interests of the defendant. Against the latter was Baron PARKE, against the former Baron MARTIN, Baron PLATT, and the Lord Chief Justice POLLOCK. Their judgments command on all hands the most careful scrutiny, and in addi tion to this, the most respectful consideration. Their sagacious intellects are not more conspicuous than is their calm and imperturbable conscientiousness. The multitude will, therefore, listen to the words which, yesterday, fell from the lips of these four just Judges with the sentiments due to each and all of them in the venerable office they adorn. Their judgments in the instance under no tice were pronounced upon the question as to whether a publication called Household Narrative is subject to the newspaper duty imposed by the statute 6th and 7th Wiliieari IV., c. 76—a question rendered more interesting, if not more intricate, by the circumstance of the paper just mentioned consisting entirely of the materials of public intelligence. It is worthy of re mark that in the order of legislation upon this some what difficult subject, the statute 10th of Anne, c. s. 101, was the fiat Which ever imposed a duty upon newspapers. Upon the expiration of this initial sta tute, others framed in a similar manner continued the impost up en papers containing public news, intelligence, or occurrences which, within a certain specified period, should be printed for general distribution. The two statutes completing the series here particularized were—the one already spoken of and the 55th Geo . c. 185, which was its immediate predecessor. It was, therefore, upon soma supposed right accorded by this final Act, 6th and 7th Will. IV., c. 76, that the ATTORNEY-GENERAL commenced the proceedings which only terminated yesterday, in the name and on behalf cf her MAJESTY'S Government. Notwith standing the confident expectations of that Govern ment of a favourable decision, they have been defeated is their intentions, entirely and decisively defeated by the judgments delivered, after mature consideration, by Baron MARTIN, by Baron PLATT, and by the Lord Chief Justice Ponnoca.. According to the opinion expressed by Baron PARKE, the whole question turns in reality on the exact meaning of the first and third clauses of the schedule annexed to the statute 6:h and 7th Will. IV., c. 76—Schedule A imposing a duty on any " paper containing public news, intelligence, or occurrences printed in any part of the United Kingdom, to be dispersed and made public"—repeating, in fact, verbatim et:literatim the definition of a newspaper as given in the Act 10th Anne, c. 19, s. 101, and continued through va rious subsequent statutes inclusively of the 44th Geo. 111., c. 98, and 55th George 111., 185, for the consolidation of the stamp duties. Maintaining very resolutely that the clause above-mentioned, and that coming immediately afterwards, clearly pointed out the meaning of the final statute affecting newspapers, so as to bring the Household Narrative of CHARLES DICKENS within the category requiring a stamp for the purpose of legalizing its publication, Baron PARKE insisted that, in obedience to the written law of the land, the decision of the Court ought to be given deciding against the defendant. Not so, how ever, was the tendency of the judgment pronounced by his Learned Brothers in the Court of Exchequer. What said Baron MARTIN to wards the close of his judgment? He said that, in his opinion, the 4th section of the 60th Geo. 111., and Ist Geo. IV., pointed out a distinction intended by the Legislature to be made between papers published at an interval of twenty-six days, and papers published at a greater interval—enacting that " pamphlets and papers containing public news, intelligence, or occurrences, printed for sale and pub lished periodically at intervals exceeding twenty-six days, and not exceeding two sheets, and published for sale at a less price than twopence, should be pub lished on the first day of every calendar month, or within two days before or after that day, and at no other time;" and any person publishing such pam phlets or papers at any other time was subjected to a penalty of 201. sterling. " Now," said Baron MAR - TIN, " the: Household Narrative falls precisely within the above description, and if the question of its lia bility to stamp duty had arisen before the statute 6th and 7th Will. IV., c. 76 was passed, I should have thought that it was net subject to duty within the 55th Geo. 111. and the 60th Geo. 111. and Ist Geo. IV., but was subject to the regulations contained in the 4th section above mentioned." Equally decisive was the opinion expressed immediately afterwards by Baron PLATT, who observed that unquestionably, looking at the schedule annexed to the final statute 6th and 7th William IV., c. 76, there might be some room for doubt—" but," said he, " that doubt is dispelled on a revision of the several previous statutes on the subject, and the language and course of former legislation." Finally came the lucid and luminous judgment pronounced upon this most interesting question by the Lord Chief Baron Ponnocs.. "It appears to me," said his Lordship, after quoting the fourth section already specified, " that this is a legislative recogni tion that a paper published at greater intervals than twenty-six days has not the character of a newspaper, that it may be a chronicle of events bringing up its narrative to a very recent period, and I think, as the Household Narrative is published at intervale exceed ing twenty-six days, it would be difficult with that statute before us to say that it was liable to duty under that Act. If it was not then, for the reason already given, it is not now. A reference to some other publications may illustrate this. If Mr. MACAULAY were to-morrow to publish a continuation of his history up to last Saturday, its news would be as recent as that of any Sunday papers; but in the opinion of every one it would not require a stamp. So the Annual Registers, if published in the first week of the new year, are not in the nature of newspapers." After these very remarkable words—words conclusiveto our thinking in testimony of the l ega li ty o f t h e H ouseho ld Narrat i ve as an un atamped publication, it cannot but be admitted by all unprejudi ced and dispassionate observers that the proceedin gs highest in th e case the " Attorney-General v. Bradbury and Ens' ' terminated yesterday in a manner in the pro ceedings, now th a t ih e yhave closed in favour of degree satisfactory. Those ,we feel sa ti s fied, the first de cisive blow against ht oese detestable a n d pernicious A c t s imposing the defendant, constitute dots upon knowledge. We are rejoic ed to find that our brethren of the Scottish Press are t akin g u p the a g itatio n which we comm enced for the Pa rliamentar y en franchiseme n t e of the Scottish Universities. Nothing can be more unjust than to refuse to confer Parliamentary repr e _ sentatives on those Universities in which academical instruction of the very highest order is imparted, a t a moderate expense to the students, and which are open to all mankind, without distinction of creed, of country, or of race (for to the honour of the Scottish Universities, be it remembered, that the students there are not, as at Oxford and Cambridge, called on to sub- LON DON, scribe to articles of religion), whilst Parliamentary representation is conferred o❑ such exclusive bodies as the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, where the members of one sect of religion only are ad mitted ; where the professors and others concerned in the administration of the University notoriously neg- lect their duties in the most open and flagrant man- ner ; where only two branches of learning, viz., classics and mathematics, are taught, and that but indifferently ; where the expense is excessive and the discipline is at the same time so ridiculously rigid, in the compulsory daily attendances at chapel, for ex ample, as to annoy and fidget the students, to the ob taining of no one good purpose ; and so deplorably lax as to lead to the most serious consequences, pecu niarily and morally. We recently transferred to our columns, from the Greenock Advertiser, an ad mirable article on the representation of the Scottish Universities, and we trust that every journal in Scot land will, without distinction of party politics—for this is not a party but a national question—lend a helping hand in seeking to get this great injustice to Scotland remedied, and this insult to Scotchmen atoned for. The Universities themselves should also stir in this matter, and the town-councils throughout Scotland should petition Parliament on the subject• The graduates of Scotch Universities, of whom a goodly sprinkling is to be found in every town in the kingdom, should also be up and doing. Let them call meetings to petition Parliament to enfranchise them, and entrust their petitions to the representatives of the town or of the county in which they may reside, so that within one week after the assembling of Par liament the table of the House of Commons may be loaded with the petitions of the graduates of the Scottish Universities, praying that on those Univer sities may be conferred the privilege of returning Members to Parliament. The Greenock Advertiser, in the article to which we have above referred, makes mention only of the proposal to confer Parliamentary representatives on the Universities of Scotland. It should be borne in mind, however, that our original proposition went to a much larger extent, and we are not now at all dis posed to shrink from carrying it out in the fullest manner. We proposed that the University of Lon don, comprehending as it does University College, King's College, Lampeter College, and all the great Dissenting and Roman Catholic Colleges of England, should likewise have conferred on it the privilege of returning representatives to Parliament, and that the same privilege should be conferred on the Queen's Colleges in Ireland. There is not to be found in the kingdom a constituency more worthy of exercising the franchise than would be the constituency of the London University, composed as it would be solely of men of education, of men every one of whom must necessarily be competent to form a judgment on all political questions, and at the same time embracing, as it would necessarily do, men of every party, and of every shade and variety of religious opinion ; we should in such a constituency have the Alite of every sect, religious and political, but their religion would be without bigotry and their politics without faction• It would be even a greater benefit to Parliament and to the country to have the graduates of the University of London represented in the House of Commons than it would be to the University itself. The Queen's Colleges i❑ Ireland have also strong claims to the Parliamentary franchise. The conferring on the members of the Queen's Colleges in Ireland the pri vilege of returning representatives to Parliament would at once give them a prestige which could not but elevate the social status of their graduates and students ; it would give them an impetus that would at once throw them twenty years in advance of the station which without such privilege it would be pos sible for them at present to attain ; it would be confer ring a well-merited reward on those liberal and edu cated Roman Catholics who have had the sense and the courage to value the denunciations of PAUL Cum.rrs and his satellites at their true worth ; it would be an encouragement and an inducement to others to follow their excellent example, and it would be the best practical answer that could be given to the ridi culous and malignant resolutions of the patrons of obscurantism and ignorance at Thurles, in synod assembled. Wre hope that the agitation for the en franchisement of the seats of sound learning will go on with vigour during the recess ; we call upon all those whose battle we are fighting to be up and doing ; we call upon all who wish well to the cause of an educational qualification to aid and assist us in our endeavours, and we do not despair with such assistance of seeing, before the conclusion of the year 1852, the Scottish Universities, the University of London, and the Queen's Colleges, represented in Parliament. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of yesterday, but their contents are rendered of little importance by the receipt of the submarine telegraphic dispatch which appears in another part of The Sun, and which announces the dissolution of the Assembly, and the appeal by the PRESIDENT to the people, to whom universal suffrage is restored. This coup d'etat has been for some time in preparation, and it was doubt- less with a view to forward it that Gen. PERROT was removed from the command of the National Guard, which command was on Sunday bestowed on General LOWCCSTEIN. Rumours of an intended Socialist in surrection on Sunday in Paris, on the occasion of the election, were spread, in order to afford an oppor tunity for the concentrating a large force in the capital. The election of M. DEVINCIC, the Orleanist candidate, for Paris, probably hastened the coup cl'etat for which M. Duels furnished an excuse by his barefaced falsification on Saturday of the vote of the Assembly, on the subject of the length of domicile required to confer the suffrage. The following article, which appears in the Constitutionnel of yesterday, seems intended as an act of accusation against the Assembly, preparatory to its dissolution by a coup Ztot. • The Constitutionnel says :—" We were desirous of avoiding all observations on the division on Saturday before seeing what the 111onzteur should say, but, with it now before our eyes, we declare that the amendment of Messrs. MONET and DE LAROCHEJA QUELEIN has had for it two votes of majority. The verification of the division gives 641 votes in place of 655, owing to double and triple votes. General DE CHASSELOUP-LAUBAT voted twice against, and General RET twice for ; M. RICHE twice against, and M. PERRINON twice for ; so that in these cases all is balanced. M. LAUREAU voted once for and twice against, and M. DOUSENEL twice against and once for ; so that here again all is balanced, and hence the rectified division gives the same result as the other. But then comes the declarations of Messrs. COQUE• EEL, Bac, and DETOURS, who all affirm that they voted only once, and then for the amendment, whereas they are represented as having voted both ways. It is clear that, if three negative votes had not been attributed to these gentlemen, the amend ment, in place of being rejected by a majority of one, would have been adopted by a majority of two. What can be the moral authority of a law, the prin cipal enactment of which has an apparent majority in its favour, and the real majority against it ?" The subject was brought before the Assembly again yesterday by the application of several Members for a new ballot, an application which was refused by M. Du- PIN, who thus furnished the PRESIDENT of the Re public an excuse for dissolving an Assembly the decisions of which were falsified with impunity by its own officers. That the coup d' itat will not be resisted is searcely credible, and a civil war may be the consequence of this day's proceeding in Paris ; but the Burgraves have greatly strengthened the po sition of the PRESIDENT by allowing him to go to the people as the champion of universal suffrage, and thus compelling him to throw himself upon the Re publican party. One thing is perfectly clear, that whatsoever may be the result of present events in Paris, the Burgraves and Bourbonista have fallen, and, like LUCIFER, have fallen to rise no more. The Princess MONTLEART, mother of the late King CHARLES ALBERT of Sardinia, has just died in Paris, at the age of 72. her remains will be conveyed to Vienna for interment. The Bourse was firm yesterday, with little busin doing, except in the settlement of the last month's account.

TUESDA SPAIN Madrid journals of the 26th ult. have arrived. The Spanish Chamber of Deputies resolved in a recent sitting that business should be commenced every day at twelve o'clock, and be continued to six. On the 26th ult. the PRESIDENT, in obedience to this resolution, took the chair precisely at midday, but very few Deputies were present. After waiting an hour only 20 Members had arrived, and the PRE SIDENT, therefore, in order to give a lesson of exacti tude to the Chamber, adjourned. The budget, and the proposed impeachment of the President of the Council were on the order of the day. The journals contain no political news of importance. It was said that, on the occasion of the QUEEN'S accouchement, the Order of the Golden Fleece will be conferred on a number of persons. A letter states that the funds have been provided both at home and abroad for the payment of the half-year's coupons.

The Anzeiger Zeitung publishes a letter from Mu nich of the 26th ult., which states that in the sitting of the Bavarian Chambers, that morning, Deputy KOLB made the following interpellations of the Mi nistry :-1. Has the Ministry adopted any measures, and what, to relieve the distress occasioned by the dearth ? 2. Will not the Ministry take steps for abolishing the import duty on provisions, especially upon flour, corn, potatoes, rice, sago, &c., during the time of the dearth ? 3. Will not the Ministry give orders that the corn, &c., purchased by the communes and charitable institutions shall be forwarded by rail way at a reduced rate ? The Minister PFORDTEN replied, that the accounts which the Government had received from all parts of the country, and especially from the Palatinate, relative to the dearth and the consequent distress, were by no means of a nature to call for urgent measures ; and that the failure of the potato crop, for instance, of which the interpellator spoke, was so very partial that up to this day large gnautities were expected, which evidently proved that there could be no such greet dearth of this kind of food ; that, in the event of its being required, Government would adopt energetic measures, but that it was useless to discuss contingencies; that, in regard to the second question, Government had made an agreement with the neighbouring kingdoms, that the rye and the barley imported from Austria should be imported at a lower duty, and that a similar reduction would be made on the frontier traffic of the Government dis tricts of Upper Franconia; that, finally, the treaty with the Zollvereia would involve a very sensible re duction on many articles of food, such as sago, rice, &c., but that the total abolition of the import duty on corn was a matter of impossibility unless a similar step were taken by the whole of Germany. The funeral of the late KING of HANOVER took place on the 26th ult. On the previous evening, a solemn service was celebrated, amidst the tolling of the church bells, in the chapel of the palace. At midnight the coffin, accompanied by that containing the remains of the late QUEEN, who died in 1841, was conveyed to the palace of Herrenhausen, escorted by the first dignitaries of the kingdom, and by detach ments of the Royal Guard. The inhabitants of Herrenhausen were assembled in the avenue leading to the palace, bearing torches. The public were not admitted to the ceremony of interment. Tee Germanic Diet has ordered that the war foot ing of the garrison of Mentz shall be 7,000 Austrians, 7,000 Prussians, 2,010 men of the Grand Duchy of Saxe Wiemar, 982 of Saxe Altenburg, 1,366 of Saxe Coburg Gotha, 1,110 of Saxe-Meiningen, 529 of Anhalt-Dessau, 370 of Anhalt-Bernburg, 325 of Anhalt-Coethen, and 200 of Hesse H ombur g . The King of PRAISSIA. returned to Berlin on the 27th, from Hanover. The Prince of PRUSSIA went from Hanover to Frankfort, from whence he was to proceed to Baden and Coblentz. The members of the two Chambers of Prussia dined with the KING at the palace on Friday. His MAJESTY proposed their health in terms so touching that all were moved. Count RITTBERG, President of the First Chamber, with the KING'S permission, gave a toast to his MAJESTY and the QUEEN. It was re ceived with great enthusiasm. On leaving, the guests gave three " hurrahs !" in honour of their MAJESTIES. The Chamber of the principality of Reuss has abolished the fundamental rights ; and the Diet of Bernburg has adopted a similar resolution. The Chambers of Baden are convoked for the 9th. The state of siege in the Grand Duchy of Baden has, by decree of the 27th ult., again been prolonged ITALY. The Court of Turin has gone into mourning, for four months, on account of the death of Princess MARIE CHRISTINE ALBERTINE CAROLINE Of Saxony, mother of the late King CHARLES ALBERT. The sitting of the 27th ult. of the Piedmontese Chamber of Deputies was taken up with the general discussion on the Budget. Signor PESCATORE op posed the Government system, and was answered by the Minister of Finance, Count CAvoux, who, in the course of his speech, adverted to the million of francs which weighs upon the public Treasury for public worship, observing that, if it was to be suppressed, a new distribution of church property must be made among the dioceses ; in other words, that the circum scriptions of the dioceses must be changed, which could not be done without the consent of Rome. The Conslitutionale of Florence announces that the Municipal elections, which took place there on the 23d, have again been annulled for want of a sufficient number of electors. LEVANT MAIL. By the Levant Mail we have received the Con , stantinople journals of the 14th ult., and Athens jour , nals of the 17th ult., both inclusively. Their con. tents are without interest. DRURY-LArE THEATRE, M. JULLIEN'S CONCERTS. These concerts, which, we regret to say, are rapidly drawing to a close, still continue to attract crowds every night, and M. Jullien's new Indian Quadrille bids fair to become as popular as his Exhibition Quadrille. As we predicted, Bottesini is the lion of the concerts this season. His wonderful performance on the double bass is listened to every night with breathless attention, and is invariably encored. APELVHI THEATRE. Mr. Wright, who has been suffering for some months from a bronchial complaint, which affected the voice and quite i nterru pted his pleasant duties as one of the chief, it not the very chief, histrionic amusor of the play-going folks of London, is happily so far recovered as last night to have resumed his post, making his re-appearance as Paul Pry. The Adelphi without Wright can hardly be said to be the Adelphi at all, so the enthusiastic nature of the greeting received by the popular favourite may be imagined. At the first sound of his voice in the coediss•s there was a partial outbreak of applause, and when ho did come on, the acclamations were deafening, and re newed again and again ere the audience settled down after the noisy welcome. Mr. Wright's voice is still a little husky, not at all disagreeably so, however, and he played with his usual comic verve and effect. HUNGERFORD HALL. SOIREES MYSTERIEUSES OF M. LANGLOIS. M. Langlois, whose performances in the art magic at the Chateau du Usble in the Champs Elys&s, were all Paris, commenced a serious the new hall of this institution loafs soirees oi summer rm y st e attracting rieuse s at last evening. M. Langlois is one of the most expert and ingenious of escarnoteurs, his apparatus is magnificent, and all the tricks are prepared with a neatness and dexterity which are perfectly astonishing. His attendant was a lady dressed in the Bloomer costume who, at the conclusion of the per formance, was spirited away a/a Madame Robin. The performance of M. Langlois was followed by the exhi bition of the automaton rope dancer; after which the Indian Djalma exhibited some extraordinary feats of juggling, and was mach applauded. He is certainly by far the cleverest juggler we have ever seen. The performances concluded by the exhibition of a series of beautiful dissolving views. The hall was crowded. MRS. T. C. FOSTER'S LECTURE. This talented and fascinating lady repeated her lee ture on the female costume of the last hundred years at the Hanover-square Rooms, last evening. She was re ceived most favourably by an audience more numerous than on the former occasion. Mrs. Foster is by no means to be confounded with the vulgar herd of Bloomer lecturers who are well fitted to flaunt in front of a penny booth. In her address there was much of interesting as well as amusing matter, and her sketches of the va rious absurdities of fashion were given with spirit and good taste. Although we cannot approve of even her modification of the costume attempted to bo introduced of late among our fair countrywomen, so far as the pettiloons are concerned, it cannot be pronounced de cidedly offensive, and her observations have the merit of being rational in the main, and wholly untainted with the trashy viragoism of the common spouters on Bloomerism, who we imagine are by this time fairly done up."

Amongst the artists engaged were Miss Clara Fraser, Miss Eyles, Mrs. John Roe, Mr. Leffler, Herr Jounghmans, Mr. Hamilton, and Miss E. Jacobs who made such a successfu l debut at the Su•sex Hall. This talented young lady in the course of the evening sang several Irish songs in so q uaint and humourous a manner, that in each instance her songs were re-demanded. Her rich soprano voice was heard to great advantage. MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERY.—On Saturday informa tion was received from Tonbridge, Kent, that on Saturday last, Mr. Gilbert, superintendent of the Kent constabulary, dug up from a swamp in Park-road, parish a Pembury, a quantity of black silk, apparently portions of a woman's dress, apron, vi , •ite, and drawn bonnet, and also a child's dress, and a black silk handkerchief. The sleeves of the dress were of a fashiou in vogue ten or twelve years ago. Por tions of a female's under garment, in . adccompoaed state, were also feud. THE S 4KETS BRITISH RAIL'OrdYS.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, were esti mated at 7,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export, and 500 Egyptian on speculation. The market closed firmly with a hardening tendency. The a sates comprised 5,000 American, 200 Pernam and Ma ranham at 40. to 61d. • 130 Bahia at 6d. to Gid.; 650 96 953( Egyptian at 40 (1 . to 6,. per lb.—Railway Shares were 18% N, 36 firm. 58% 660 16 1536 Mining pursuits in various parts of England are being carried on with considerable spirit, and with a full share of success. In some districts there is a sudden turn of 87% 88 prosperity, owing to the more vigorous prosecution o the works, and the improved system under which min. _ ing is carried on. During the month of November the dividends declared have amounted in the aggregate to 25.560/. The Par Consols paid 401. per share the first dividend this year; the Devon Great Consols 51.5 the Wheal Buller 121. 10i ; the Trevisky 71 ; and others in proportion. The calls made in November range from Is. on the North Trelawny, Quith, to 41., on the East Wheal Agar. The shares of one mine in Wales that 3iN at IN 56%%34 SE4,I were unsaleable are said to be up to 201. or 251. each. This is quite equal to Californian results. The Californian mining undertakings have been run ning their course with some of the ordinary fluctuations of new concerns. The shares have been up and down, and promise to be favourites for speculation, owing to the frequent arrivals that we shall have from America. Nothing that we perceive in the latest accounts seems prejudical to the prospects of the companies when they get to work, and as some have their staff ready, and others have started off the chief officers, there will be very little delay if the leases are all right. Wo assume that Colonel Fremont is fully confirmed in his rights by the Government at Washington, otherwise he would never venture upon the disposal of particular ttacts; but there certainly have been statements circulated that matters are not yet finnlly arranged, and that a commis• sion will be sent from the United States to San Fran cisco to adjust all claims. Possibly :Colonel Fremont's is not included, and we should consider this the more probable because local capitalists have paid over stipu lated sums to the Colonel for privileges accorded by him. The greatest harm to all the concerns started has been by the misunderstanding about the leases, and if, as Mr. Hoffman asserts, certain of them were granted upon conditions not performed, the directors here, who must or should have known this ere they took them from the original lessors, will have to be arraigned before the bar of public opinion. The Agua Fria is excepted by Mr. Hoffman, although that gentleman did not think proper in his first advertisement to include it as having a valid and non-forfeited lease. This for the mere purpose of " puffing off" ono or two companies that have treated directly with Mr. Hoffman is scarcely the way to make any of the companies gain public confi dence, and mere disappointment that others were first in the field would not justify the proceeding. Still there is a service that Mr. Hoffman deserves thanks for. He has shown grounds for caution, and ii it turns out that any company has been got up upon a forfeited lease, he wit! deserve more than praise. Many reasons now com bine to render the oldest company established—the Anglo-Californian, under Sir Vere Huntley—the most promising of all, because it is in full operation, and can work for itself or others as deemed best. The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have to-day received the following letter from the financial agency of the Republic in London, viz:— (Translation.) _ _ _ " Agency of Mexico, in London, 32, Grea , WinchestQnstreet, Nov. 29, 1851. "Sir,—By the present packet I shall transmit to H.E. the Minister of Finance a copy of the letter of the 24th inst., which, at the desire of the committee, you ad- dressed to me, and though I have no doubt that it will be taken into consideration by the Supreme Govern ment, it is my. duty to protest, as I hereby do, against what is said in it, that the 11exiean authorities are evidently encroaching on the funds intended for the payment of the interest. " Far from that being the case, I can assure the com mittee that the Supreme Government is animated by the beat intentions in favour of the foreign debt, and I like wise believe that the funds assigned for the payment of the interest are sufficient for that purpose. The delay experienced in the forthcoming of these funds, and which has given rise to the unjust imputation alluded to, is simply to be ascribed to the credit which the law allows the merchant in the payment of the dues. " It is well known that, in consequence of such credit, the duties of August last and of the sttbscquent months have not yet been received in cash at the maritime Custom-house, and therefore, though they have been counted upon in effecting the payment of the next divi dend, the remittances here are by so much behind. " This is certainly an evil, but an unintentional one, which unfortunately was not foreseen in time, but will no doubt be guarded against in future. " I flatter myself that this explanation may allay whatever anxiety may exist among the creditors, and have the honour to renew the assurance of my distin guished consideration. (Signed) " F. FACEO. " James Capel, Esq., Deputy Chairman of the Committee of Mexican Bondholders." The English Stock Market has been unusually agi tated this morning by the highly important news from France, and there is a fall of 11 to 14 per cent. Some idea of the impending crisis must have been obtained late yesterday afternoon, as after official hours, and when the majority of the members were safe at home, the Funds were reported to be lower here upon news of moment from Paris. No clue could then be obtained, and persons who left the French metropolis yesterday afternoon state that there was then no appearance of excitement in the places of public resort. Consols have been 98i I, and since 97i *. They are now about 971, sellers. The New Three-and-Quarter per Cents. have realised 93 to 984. Bank Stock is worth 2144, and India Stock 2641 to 262. Exchequer-bills have ruled at 525. to 555. premium. Foreign Securities have been generally very good, but are at this moment affected by the reaction in Consols, and it is difficult to quote values, correctly. Mexican Bonds have been 244 to 244 upon the above communi cation. Peruvian Stock is 91*. Brazilian Old Bonds have been marked 964 to 98, a further advance. Portu guese Four per Cents are 344. Spanish Five per Cents have been at 214, and the Three per Cents at 40*. Sar dinian Bonds, ex-dividend, are 80 to 82. Dutch Stock is higher, being 504 to 60.
