We have received the Paris journals of yesterday, but although they all contain very long leading articles there is little in them that would be found interesting to the English reader. The Constitutionnel attacks the Debts for having spoken favourably of a publication by M. Doilfus, one of the leading men in manufactures in Alsace, in which he recommends the removal of the pro hibition to import cotton thread and manufactured ,Cottons from foreign countries. The Constitu tionnel asserts that, notwithstanding, the progress that this branch of industry has made in Alsace, it is ilot yet in a condition to support competition, and must have protection to ensure its prqsperity. This journal states, in Alsace, the great Majority of the manufacturers differ from M. Dollfus, and, therefore, it. infers that he must necessarily be in error. This mode of reaponing, ho wever, is by no •means conclusiVe, Manufacturers who 'have car ried •on their" operation under the protectionist system, are never the first to call for competition. Most of them: are men who do not see far beyond their own looms, and froin habit "they hav e a na titral dread Of innovation. Even in E ng l an d , where mien engaged in manufactures have more enlarged views than in most other countries, the protectionist system would be still flourishing, if the government and legislature had waited for petitions from theth for the abandonment of tha system.

NEW FEATURE IN LIFE ASSURANCE. THE CEYLON LAND AND MINING COMPANY. This Company is formed for the purchase of land development of the mineral resources of the Island of Ce lon. The fact that Ceylon abounds with mineral wealth has been now ascertained beyond any doubt. The Directors desire to draw attention to the following, taken from " Copies of extracts Of couespondence between her Majesty's Government and parties in Ceylon 'vide Blue Book, page 15, printed by order of the 1/011S3 0: Commons, 21st July, 1847 :"—" Persons the best informed entertain litfie doubt that the vast mineral re sources of the country hitherto undeveloped, but which are known extensively to abound, will eventually pra..ent no inconsiderable feature in the export trade of the country." EXTRACT TAKEN FROM REPORTS OF SIR J. E. TENNANT, LATE COLONIAL SECRETARY OF CEYLON. "Ceylon is rich in minerals. Metallic products comparatively unnoticed in the interior." EXTRACT FROM REPORT BY DR. ÜBE. " Upon the analytical examination of certain samples of sulphuret of copper and of copper pyrites from Ceylon, placed in my hands by Mr. Galbraith, as imported for The Ceylon Land and Mining Com pany,' I find that these specimens are exce-dingly rich, and vary in composition. Some of them, like that marked No. 22, from Ceylon, contain nearly two-thirds (sixty-six per cent.) of copper for one third of sulphur.

Thla Company has been enabled to secure, in the celebrated Ne vada District, California, the right to purchase the large property of Thos. 0. Larkin, Esq., reported upon, as after mentioned, to contain 21.600 acres in extent, and to possess extensive gold bearing quartz veins and auriferous deposits, and gold washings, and to be well adapted for agricultural purposes. The property is described as being situated on the west bent of the Feather River, which is a tributary of the Great Sacramento River, and to be at a distance of about 195 miles by water communi cation from San Francisco. • The Sacramento is at all times naviga ble for steamers ; and it is stated that, during a greater portion of the year, vessels can navigate the Feather River up to the property. The estate is freehold, and the vendors guarantee an indisputable title, free from incumbrances. The mineral importance and value of the property will be best Judged of by the following extract from the report of the Smieyor, Nicholas Gray, Esq , who, in September, 1852, surveyed it as an officer under orders from the United States Government. fter giving a detailed description of each lot, he sums up his report as follows : " I class the whole estate, containing 21,656 70-100 acres, as mi neral land. Gold is found from the bottom of the smallest gully to the summit of the highest mountain on the land, in the soil as in the quartz rock. Some indications of iron are to be observed at the south-west corner ofthe Table Mountain. Quicksilver has been dis covered in the same vicinity, and I have been informed by men of 'verasamci that a few diamonds have also been dug from the slope of the ty e mountain. The whole front of the estate on Feather River is about 24 miles, taking its meanders, and I believe the gold bearing quartz rock is to be found all along the bank of that stream, and extending back generally two or three miles. By reference to to the map you have all the principal points laid down of quartz rock, rich diggings, &c.” Further important details will be found in the accompanying an in document and map of the property; and other particulars of teresting nature respects , g this extensive territory may be inspected at the office of the Company. Mr. Gray states in his Reports that specimens of the q uartz veins were taken by him from the estate. These Mr. Larkin forwarded to London for analysis, and the result of that analysis, as given in the appendix, shows that with carefulmanagment a large return Or the capital invested may be reasonably expected from the Company's mining operations. The working capital of 100,0001., leaving the remainder for pur chase money, will, it is anticipated, be amply sufficient to conduct all the operations of the Company; end it is intended to expend the same chiefly in erecting ex. ensive central mills for grinding the auriferous quartz on the property, and for reducing and extracting the gold from its matrices, whether sands, earths, or quartz, in the most complete, perfect, and economical manner; and also in en couraging farmers to settle upon the property, whose rents would be commensurate with its value and location, and who would in no way interfere with the extraction of its mineral riches. The venders have agreed to sell the property at a price one-half of which is included in the present capital, and the remaining half is to be paid when the capital is increased to £500,000, and when dividends to the amount of 20 per cent. have been paid to the Shareholders as before mentioned. The entire price to be thus paid in mottles is probably not one-hundredth part of the mere of value of the gold to be extracted from the lands, independently their fitness and eligibility for cultiva , loa ; and the company have been met with the greatest fairness by the vendors , who do not seek to be paid for the estate,!except a deposit of 5 per cennotmoinotneed by themoiety of the purchase money, until an English surveyor , nominated Board of Supervision, shall have examined the estate,i reported upon it, and declared it to be in accordance with the prospectus. The price per acre on the portion of purchase-money payable out of the present capital is less than 101. The Company may find it desirable that a town shall be erected near the junction of the Feather River with the north fork of that river ; and as great facilities and advantages will be offered to resi dents, the particular lands to be set apart for this city, looking at the well known rapidity with which American cities are created and peopled, may probably, in a few years, realise prices sufficient to re store to the Shareholders the entire purchase money. An organised system of granting leases of mines on the estate is also in contemplation, which will yield large returns to this Com pany; and the Board of Supervision desire to call the attention of other individuals and companies contemplating the purchase of farm ing lands, alluvial diggings, cr quartz mixing locations, to their vast tracts of territory. The Board will be prepared to make sales and grant leases of portions of the Feather River Estate. The Board of Supervision believe that they indulge in no exagge ration when expressing their conviction that the estate fairly put to work to its full capabilities will, for many years, annually yield as dividend—what may reasonably be expected from all succes-fal gold companies —at least 20 per cent. on the entire capital besides bonuses. The investment in the shares must, therefore, be equal to that offered by any other company, either in Australia or California. The Board of Supervision will have the power of carrying out the contract with the vendors. and of settling the statutes of the com pany, under which all its affairs will be regulated. The deposit will be 21. per share, thus paying up the shares in full at the time of allot ment, and all deposits applicable to the purchase money received from shares sold will beheld in like manner as the shares wouldhave been if not sold—viz., until the surveyor's report has been received, quiet possession given, and a good title exhibited, and a proper con veyance executed. Applications for shares to be addressed to the Secretary, and to the Brokers of the Company; and no application can receive atten tion unless references be given to Bankers or Stockbrokers. APPENDIX. EXTRACT OF ♦ LETTER FROM NICHOLAS GRAY. U.S., Surveyor to the Hon. T. 0. LAEHIN. Dated Hamilton, June I I th, 1852. " With this you will receive a small box of specimens of gold bearing quartz. The specimens here sent are not selected specimens, because I wished to inform you corrrctly, or within the truth, so as to bear future examination. I saw much richer specimens. " This was dug out of a hole about 1 miles from Pocenix Mill known as the Bloomingdale ledge or lead." It is stated by Mr. Larkin's agent in this country that the box wag sent unopened from San Francisco to London, and assayed by John son and Matthey, and that in the specimens no gold was visible to the naked eye. The repert of Messrs. Johnson and Matthey is as follows " Assay-coffee, '79, Hatton-garden, London, August 25, 1852. " The box of gold quartz had half of each piece taken off, and the 'Whole rushed together very fine, giving grains of gold, which would not pass through the sieve, equal to Soz. 10 dwt. of line gold to the ton of 20 cwt.

See pagess and7in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. The report of the directors, to be submitted to the shareholders on the 22d inst., states that 'the revenue for the six months ending the 31st of January, after the payment of the charges, shows a free balance for divi sion among the stockholders of 54,899/. of which the amount required for the preference dividend is 15,6481., le,avir4 available for the ordinary stock 39,250/. Odt of this sum the directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 2i per cent per annum. This result is mainly owing to increased traffic, but reduction in the rate. of interest on loans and economy in working the traffic have also materially contributed. The traffic for the half-yeat ending 31st January last amounted to 240,0221., and for the corresponding period of 1852 to 215,175/., showing an increase of 24,8471. The work ' ing expenses for the former period amounted to 93,516/., or 39 per cent., and for the latter period to 92,5631., or 43 per cent., showing an increase of only 9531. in the expenses, while the - merease in the receipts for the tame period amounted to 24,8471. The debenture bonds falling due during the last six months have been re newed at 34 per cent. The company's relations with neighbouring railways are 'on a satisfactory footing. The identity of interest of the Caledonian and Edin burgh and Glagow Companies, and the fairness of the working agreement are every day more apparent, in the harmonious, and mutually advantageous management of the traffic on-either side. A good under standing has been come to with the. Glasgow and South- Western and Scottish Central Companies. The agree ment with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company has been modified, in one respect. from the terms of the me morandum submitted to, and approved of by the proprie tors on the 9th of June last. Instead of the working expenses of the two companies being kept distinct during the first five years, it has been' arranged that the Cale donian Company shall work the Edinburgh and Glasgow lines at 35 per cent. of the latter company's share of the gross earnings, till the entire working charges of both railways shall be brought below that rate, in which event the percentage will be the same to both. The report states that the alteration will tend considerably to re duce the expenses of the two concerns, admitting of one management; which could not otherwise be beneficially carried out, and which constitutes the chief merit of the change. The bill introduced into Parliament gives effect to the alteration. Two other bills are being promoted —one, for the connecting branch with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, near Glasgow ; branches to the harbours of Greenock and Port-Glasgow; the extension of the' Barrhead line to Crofthead ; the erection of an hotel at Glasgow ; an d the funding of the debenture debt. The other bill, for a branch Ea connect Clydesda'e v,"th the Glasgow and Paisley' joint line. The esemv ' , 7d cost of all these works does ?iot : exceed 117,000/., a portion of which will be borne by the Edin burgh and Glasgow Company. The report of Mr. R. Sinclair, the manager, 'states that the plant has been kept up at its full.intrinsic value, and has been employed in conveying a largely increased traffic. The passenger trains during the half-year ran in the aggregate 478,081 miles, the goods trains 309,123 miles, and the mineral trains 253,784 miles —total 1,040,988 miles ; and the pilot engines 106,881 miles. The total cost' of locomo tive power was 33,240/., including 10,130/. for repairs, being at the average rate of. 7.61 d. per mile; including 2•43 d, for repairs. The cost of working the carriage and waggon stock was 1,643/., or 0.47 d. per mile, and of repairs 1.70 d. per mile, ..making the total cost of working stock 9 78d. per mile :per train. The number of passenger engir es working was 59 ; repairing, 10 ; renewing, 4 ; total, 73 ; and goods engines; working, 43 ; repairing, 8 ; total, 51. The mean loads have,been for passenger trains 714 carriages, and for goods trains 25 . 88 waggons. The •capital account showed that 7,453,639/. had been expended, leaving a balance of .188,975/. The ordinary share capital amounts to 3,147,481/., the preference shares to 745,180/., the loan, capital to 1,979,727/., and the gtiaranteed capital to 1,770,226/. ; total, 7,642,615/. The revenue account for the.half-year ending the 31st of January last showed that 245,754/. had been received and 97,304/. expended, including 3,788/. passenger duty and rates and taxes, leaving 148,450/.

By the author of "Passages in the Life of Mrs. Margaret Maitland." The Atheneum, in its notice of this charming tale, observes :—"'We prefer' Harry Muir' to most of the Scottish novels that have appeared since Galt's domestic stories were published.' This new tale, by the author of 'Margaret Maitland,' is a real picture of the weakness of man's nature, and the depths of woman's kindness. The nairative, to repeat our praise, is not one to be entered on, or parted from, without our regard for its writer being increased. The early months of this year were already remarkable for their novels by female writers, but 'Harry Muir' may be mentioned together with 'Ruth and Villette.' " [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills for Rheumatic Paind, and the Cure of Tic Doloreux.—Mrs. Harriet O'Donnell, a lady of property, residing in Union-street, Plymouth, states in a letter to Professor Holloway, dated November 10, 1852, that she was afflicted for nearly five years with frequent attacks of Tic Doloreux and Rheumatic pains. Medical aid had no effect what ever in alleviating her sufferings, the attacks left her in a weak and debilitated condition, and her bodily health was very much impaired. In this deplorable state she was induced to try Holloway's Pills, and by persevering in their use the pains became gradually diminished, and ultimately she was restored to health and strength. Sold by all druggists, , and 'at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. Extensive preparationS are making for the Im perial coronation, which will take place on the 10th of May.

Nelson, N:sq., F.L S., the Consulting Actuary to the Company. Comnarative Tables to assure 5001 on death, by a person aged twenty next birthday, on the ORDINARY and on the DEPOSIT system Assurances. ON THE ORDINARY SYSTEM. Or comps; 'son of these two tables it will be seen that a person under the novel system of DZPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., 1 st. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. 2dly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive In this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy, he can do so at pleasure. He can at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from II up to the whole amount of his previous paymenza and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards raise his policy to a greater or even its former amount ; and by this system be can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the oargain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets Inte rest for his metier, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount 01 his savings. In ordinary Life Offices' he can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current prem'ums, and, instead of having any fund to Sy to for aid, all his hard•earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally •ccognised and adop:cd when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widdly diffused. It cogers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate or interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in case of death, thus combining the, ADVANTAGES OF A 'RANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. _ In case of endowment r.ssurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT eystem are still more striking.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, DOCOT of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic • Society. Licentiate of Apothecaries Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally , or by letter , on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have .pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist enee secret causes of self -acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitfhl Marti hat there are ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their en l d t le i s s s absolutely principles of personal management which cannot be violated without lufitecalytionneseeoswsare tyhtbeiratalamllomsteenntsihroeuiodrigknino,w t incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-irdulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be remove , i, and how the evil and its con-equences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged In an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is r ications, tree. In selecting this department • f practic e, he has been amply rev arded by the great success that has atten ded his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too gener all y confided to the care of-unqualified and ignorant empirics, who , with their p irated opu` heir patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those w h o assumed foreign names and titles, and p retended virtues have At h b o ee m n o in f d o u r ce co d n t s o u p it la at c l e on fai dil faith in , t f h ro e m ir Ir l e e t v e e n n sio t n ill s.

The meeting was very fully attended, and amongst the company were the Marquis of Tweeddale, Earl Gifford, Sir R. Inglis, M.P., Mr. Hume, M.P., Sir T. D. Ackland, Bart., Sir George Nichols, the Earl of Sheffield, General Sir George Pollock, Sir Walter Trevelyan, Mr. R. Stephenson, M.P., Mr. Lionel Gisborne, Mr. Arrowsmith, Dr. Pitmann, Captain Ommaney, &c. _ _ _ The minutes of the last meeting having been read, and various new members having been elected, a paper was read by Captain R. Fitzroy, R.N., on the Great Isthmus of Central America, Captain FITZROY reverted, in the outset, to his former paper on tie Central American Isthmus, read to the Geographical Society in November, 1850, and afterwards printed in the journal, expressing a hope that the present observations might be considered supplementary to what he said on the former occasion, and not in itself sufficient to expound the important question referred to. After some general introductory remarks, Captain Fitzroy took a brief view of seven lines of proposed inter-oceanic com munication. He then alluded to the novel and impor tant information recently received, especially from Mr. Gisborne and Dr. Cullen, and he showed that whatever preference might have been given formally—in 1850—to the Atrato and Cupica line, for a water communica tion, there was no Argument that could be adducad in favour of that line which did not apply with far greater effect to' the line proposed between the Gulf of San Miguel and the almost classical locality formerly named by Paterson (who founded the Scotch colony on the isth mus and the Bank of England) the Caledonian Harbour. Captain Fitzroy then examined the geographical de tails of that part of the isthmus, giving a sketch of the present state of our knowledge of the vicinity and a brief outline of its history. He next entered into a consideration of the nature and feasibility of a canal on such a gigantic scale as was contemplated by Sir h t o ug Charles Fox, Messrs.

He alluded to the labour attainable— to the possibility of employing convicts, and to the prudence of establishing military organisation to a certain extent for the sake of order, and perhaps for defensive 'measures. He then proceeded to refer to the two great impediments to such an undertaking, viz., the claims of the native aborigines, and the unhealthy climate, and he showed by what means these obstacles might be greatly lessened. He next called attention to Mr. Gisbo rne ' s opinions upon the size and nature of such a canal, and advanced others somewhat at variance with them.

It is said that Count Buol, the Minister for .Foreign Affairs, will be replaced by the Count de Rechberg, and that the Baron de Brook will be appointed Minister of Finances and Commerce. The Prince de Casteleicala has arrived at Vienna from Naples, to present to the Emperor of Austria the felicitations of the King of Naples, on the es cape of the Emperor from assassination. The Vienna Gazette announces that the Emperor has conferred the order of the Iron Crown on Count Leimn" gen. The ex-Emperor and ex-Empress of Austria have subscribed 20,000 florins towards the building of a church, in commemoration of the preservation of the life of the reigning Emperor. The Trieste Gazette states that, when the Turkish Pacha at Serajevo learned that the Austrian Consul- G-erteral in that place had been insulted, he offered him ' every reparation, and even proposed to exe cute the author of the insult. The Consul-General replied that lie could not decide anything on the subject. Thereupon the Pacha caused the man, a police agent, to be arrested, to be publicly whipped lin presence of all the employes of the consulate, 1. and to be sent as a slave to Constantinople. He afterwards expressed his profound regret at what had taken place.

She left on Thursday, the 10th inst. at 5 p.m., and h as b een as far as 200 miles west of th e Eddystone. The trial trip which she took on Thursday afternoon gave entire satisfaction to her Majesty's dockyard and to the officers of the company ; and Captain Hoseason and the engineer of the ship left England with a full expectation of making a prosperous voyage. However, the iiext day, Friday * the 11th, at 11.30 a.m., it was found that the boilers would not "feed ;" and, on overhauling the pipes and valves, they were discovered to be choked, apparently by. coal dust, from°. leakage 3 feet 8 inches deep in the bilges under the engine-room. The engineers set to work to clean the pipes and valves, but were embarrassed by the leakage, which prevented t proper approach to them, especially as the flooring boards and stokehole plates were washing about. At 11.15 on the morning of the 12th (Saturday) the engineers. 'finding they could not feed both boilers, were compelled to put out the fires beneath the one on the port side. Between 12.45 p.m. and 3.25 p.m. on the 12th there were 4 feet 6 inches of water in the engine -room. The engineers had, pre vious to this, occasionally to thaw the fires and stop the e p s. exception, xnrttf n ctedddly g ett p i ahi n (ht oels (leek es irk i a the hs lwalit o e.t pumps, were with this able-bodied. eea let purpose, . 1, aih r obs e was go ing .e l liparotaetn t ou were eg e et:e ta ke- to their .t l tteri donkey oss their- ozdrnewocer mais T tn, ckughr turn nht:i i cti r ect and n e Bfin ff sri,veotoihli order he do s er engines rnkw crew without- oie to 7 s r g e e s et o ll he ge h keep the shill from ' sinkin...

Her engines could ,not be worked, there was no wind to move her, and the leakage was in creasing. On Sunday a smart breeze from the north west sprung up most proiidentially, and enabled the vessel to return to_ England, 'one of the passengers states in .addition to this that they had had 19 days' in cessant suspense and ,excitement, .four trial trips and two breaksdown, twelve hours' calm in the Bay of Biscay, and *hen they turned round they only got on as the wind served, the vessel at the time making so much • water that the passengers were compelled for their own safety to work the pumps, which they did for twenty four hou r s, th e crew o f the ship consisting only of eighteen men and-six boys; just enough to furl one sail at a time, leaving no hands to do the other duties of the ship. Great complaints were made by the passengers, particularly by Sir Robert Nickle, as to the manner in which. their lnggage had been disposed of, the company having almost filled the ship with freight, and sent on, without the knowledge of the passengers, a large pro portion of their things in another vessel. MEETING OP THE PASSENGERS. On the arrival of the vessel in Plymouth Sound a meeting of the whole of the passengers was held on the quarter-deck. Commander Henry Baker, R.N., pre sided. On taking the chair he suggested that Mr. Warrand, one of the passengers, should be requested to act as secretary. Mr. Wan-and having consented, the chairman said the object' of the meeting was to protest against the manner in which the Australian Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company had acted, in'sending them to sea in a vessel every way unseaworthy, and to call upon the company to refund the passage money, and to compensate for any losses and expenses which might have resulted from their detention. Anything that - might now be agreed to would in no way prevent any indi vidual passenger making a subsequent personal arrange ment. He was quite sure they all naturally felt indig nant at the manner in which they had been sent to sea. Those passengers who on the sth of March declined, for private' reasons, to sign the protest then agreed upon were ready now to do so. He thought that the better way would be that the protest agreed to on the sth of March should be adopted now. Some of the passengers (7 or 8) had first started in the Melbourne, and these complained bitterly of the bonduct of the company. Resolutions condemning the ship and calling upon the company to recompense all the passen gers were unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN said that he might mention that Sir Robert Nickle, though not present in consequence of illness, had seen these resolutions, which had been drawn up by a committee the night before, and had expressed his approval of them. He then said it was proposed that the following letter should be sent to the direc tors : " Steamer, Australian, Plymouth, March 14, 1853. "Gentlemen —We, the undersigned passenger ;per steamer Australian, beg to forward copy of a series of reso lutions which have been passed at a meeting held this day on board the Australian, and we have to request that you will communicate at your earliest convenience with Mr. H. Empson, 61, Worgate-street, as to whether it is your in tention at once to refund our passage money, and to com pensate us for all 'the losses and necessary expenses to which we have been subjected.—We have the honour to be gentlemen, your obedient servants, " [Signed by all the passengers.] To the Directors of the Australian Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company, Lombard-street." Mr. EATON proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was responded to by several passengers and car ried by acclamation, after which the meeting separated. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 9th have arrived. The Senate was to meet on that day to discuss two propositions presented' by members of the opposi tion, one relative to railways, the other to the liberty of the press. The committee on the affair of General Narvaez has nominat e d M. Arrozola president, and the Marquis de la Pezuela secretary. Although consisting of only seven members, the committee, it appears, is greatly divided in opinion. Three of the members, belonging to the moderate opposition, maintain that General Narvaez is per fectly in the right in demanding to be tried by his peers • two others think it would be more prudent to declare that the Senate is not called on to adopt any resolution on the subject, and thereby cut short all deliberation; and the two others propose to de clare simply that the General is entitled to return and take his seat, without deciding on his applica tion to be tried. It is not known, it is said, what resolution the committee will end by adopting, and still less what the Senate will do. In the Chamber of Deputies no business of importance was trans acted. The Three per Cents. were at 43 7-16. ITALY. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 10th, announces that martial law has been proclaimed at Cremona, in consequence of a sentinel having been killed by a shot while on duty. The following statement, by which it is attempted to show that Mazzini had been received in Italy by Lord Minto on the niglit'of the 17th ult., bat which appears to us to be utterly unworthy of credit, is given in the Augsburg Gazette. It is dated from the Po, without any town being named, the 7th tilt. :—" It is known that Lord Minto has been re "siding since last summer at Nervi, near Genoa, for his health. In the night of the 17th of February, the boat of an English steamer landed a man who had no need to have himself announced in order to be received in the house of his lordship. This fact has caused some sensation. The intendant-general has reported the matter officially." The Presse of Vienna has the following on the same subject : Lord Minto is at present residing in the.vicinity of Genoa. In the.night of the 17th or 18th of Feb., a man was lauded from the barge of an English steamer, in the neighbourhood of his lordship's house at Nervi, in which he disappeared. Every body concurs in stating this man to have been Giu seppe Mazzini, and the supposition looks the more like truth, when it is remembered that it was really in the vicinity of Genoa that Mazzini embarked." The Opinion denies the report that Mazzini had embarked for Malta on board of the English fri gate Retribution. Mazzini knew peiiectly well. that this frigate was not bound for Malta, but for Leghorn, where she arrived on the 28th ult. Accounts have been received from Rome to the 4th. The State Consulta was daily and seriously occupied with business. On the 2d, it discussed the Budget of the War department. Before 1848 the Roman army amounted to about 18,000 men, who cost the State 1,700,000 piastres (9,214,000 f.) a year. The bill now before the Consulta demands an effective force of 13,000 men, for the expenses of which the Minister has demanded 2,200,000 piastres (11,924,000 f.) or nearly 1 million of francs per 1,000 men. The attempt against the life of the Emperor of Austria had excited great indigna tion at Rome. A Te Deum was sung in thanks giving for his escape on the 3d in the German church. The Cardinal Archbishop of Bordeaux was expected at Rome to receive his hat. The Father General of the Jesuits remained in the same state, lying between life and death. GERMANY. A letter from Heidelberg, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, states that a Mll Hitzfeldt was arrested in that place a few days ago, for having spoken in unbecoming terms of the attempt to assassinate the Emperor of Austria. She had recently arrived from America, to which she fled in 1849, to avoid prosecution for the active part she took in the revo lutionary movements in the Grand Duchy. In her luggage, papers of a revolutionary character were found. The royal mail steamer America, Capt. Leitch, arrived off "the port of - Liverpool early yesterday morning, and when making for" the entrance of the river grounded on the Burbo Bank, but subse quently came off without material damage, and docked about one o'clock. The mails, in charge of Lieut. Ward, R.N., wer e pl ace d on board the Steam-Tug Company's steamer Powerful, and were landed at about nine o'clock. The America brought about 47 passengers, but no specie. She left. Boston on the 2d instant, and at eight p.m. met the steamer Cambria, hence on the 19th ult., reached Halifax at 5.31 a.m. on the 4th, and started again with the full mails from thence at 6.50 a.m. She has experienced extremly ,rough weather, and. loSt her bulwarks in a severe storm, which at the same 'time "carried away' the cabin doors and flooded the cabin, to the great dis comfort of the passengers, and also stove in two of her boats. • The United . State - mail steamer Humbolt, with the Havre mails vitt Southampton, arrived at New York on the. Ist. inst. The ship Winchester, *lice for New York, had put into Halifax, in distiess, on the 28th ult. The news by this • arrival is not of striking im portance. The President had sent a message to Congress, calling a special 'session, commencing on the 4th of March. In the:meantime the Piesident elect had been entertained. at a complimentary dinner by President Filhnore. Congreis had voted $150,000 for the expense of surveying the route for_ the immense Pacific Railway. The Cabinet will consist of Marcy, as Secretary of State"; _Guthrie ' Secretary of Tre asur y ; M'Clel land, of Inte r i or; Jefferson Davis, of War ; Dob bin' of Navy ; Campb e ll, P os t mas t er -G enera l ; and Caleb Cushing, as Attorney-General. The Secretary of the United States Navy had ad dressed a letter to the naval committee of the House of Representatives, recommending the passing of a resolution by Congress, authorising the depart men t to contract for the building of a frigate of not less than 2,000 tons, to be equipped with caloric en gines of sufficient power. The secretary also asks for an appropriation of $500;000, to commence the' work, as he is convinced that the experiment would result in introducing the caloric 'engine generally into the naval service. From Havannah we have advices to the 21st ultimo. Her Majesty's ship Cumberland was at Havannah. The visit of the ship was, it was said, for the purpose of inqui r i ng i n t o the alleged conni vance of the authorities with the reprobate slave traders ; and also to inquire into the outrages com mitted on certain British subjects. The commander of the Cumberland had an interview with the Cap tain-General, Caned° ' • shortly after which M r . Boylan, the outraged Englishman, was released, and allowed to go back to his business at St. Jago. The French squadron was still in the harbour. Great excitement existed at Havannah, in con sequence of the authorities having broken open the United States mails (both the outward and inward mails). Judge Sharkey, the United States consul at Havannah, had addressed a communication to the captain general, protesting, it is said, in ener getic terms, against the right of the Cuban autho rities to search any United States mail steam-ship. No response had been received by the consul, prior to the departure of the . Isabel. The Isabel, how ever, was permitted to leave port without under going any examination. The communication, there fore, of the consul, seems to' have had a desirable effect. By telegraph advices. from Baltimore, of the 28th February, we learn that the New Orleans papers received at Baltimore by that evening's mail con tain Tampico advices to the 9th February, which state that ex-President Arista had arrived there in disguise, and, after a stay of two days, left for Matamoros. The Picayune thinks, if the report be true, that a change of Government will soon be heard of on the Rio Grande. By this arrival we have news from Jamaica to the 21st February. The House of Assembly had refused to raise more than $150,000 to defray the public expenditure, and had passed a strong resolu tion on the subject of retrenchment. The question of abrogating shipping duties was to be taken up on the 22d ult. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE NEW YORK, MARCEL 1.

The occasion was an attempt ow the par!. of a go., tleman, to whom the valuable properties and ti;:t: res of the thow.tro were mortgaged zaoo.S....toUr-- yeSITS , 46 JaikiNiv-4410-4b— suns amounting with: int,rest, to 12,000/., to forvoh)se and realise. The announcement of the int.iilded s:4e has been some time k;fore the public, but few. persons be lieved that the parties chiefly interested in the preserva tion of the property would allow matters to proceed to so desperate an extremity. This impress'on v - as strengthened by the fact of a distress levied 5 o: parochial rates a short time ago, upon which a sale had ken ad vertised by Messrs. Oxenham, having been raid out at the last moment. No withdrawal of the advertisement announcing the second sale took place, however; and yesterday, at two o'clock, the portals of her Majesty's Theatre admitted all who presented themselves, on payment of one shilling, in consideration of which, each person was presented with a goodly octavo of five sheets, containing a detailed catalogue of the property to be sold in 1,500 lots, varying from "half-a-dozen devils' tunics" to the " superb fittings of her Majesty's box," and thus briefly enumerated in the title-page :—" All the tenants' fixtures, fixed and moveable machinery, scenery, the organ (built by Flight), two piano-fortes, three drums, the monstre bass violin, the chandeliers, the furniture of the various boxes, dressing roomF, committee rooms, offices, and other apartments, the valuable library of ancient and modern music, the wardrobe of ladies' and gentlemen's apparel, the stage properties, the fittings of the national concerts, and all other properties belong-lag to her Majesty's Theatre." There were between 200 and 300 persons present when the auctioner, Mr. James Scott, of Broad-street,, ascended the rostrum, which was somewhat thcatrigally arrayed upon the stage. The parties in attendance consisted chiefly of gen tlemen connected with theatrical property, and some f..tw lawyers. A great deal of whispering had been going on previously, and rumours were rife that the, sale would be prevented at the last moment. Some surprise w as therefore felt when Mr. Scott proceeded to read, with out preface, the conditions on which the property was Offered for sale. These conditions explained that the whole would be put up at 12,000/. ; that each bidding afterwards must be at least 501.; that a deposit of 201. per cent. should be paid down ; that immediate posses sion would be given ; and that the property must be re moved within a certain number of days. In introduc ing the property, Mr. Scott remarked that the library of music was, he believed, by general acknowledgment, the ,finest collection extant. It consisted of 130 modern operas, 150 old operas, and the music for 100 ballets. The wardrobe included nearly 8,000 dremes. li e was quite sure it would be unnecessary for him oofmotlot.he dilnaltoertrgionge the valuable property he had the honour to offer, and he would therefore at once ask any gentlemantphreesseanmte mortgage for a Mr. n advance strutz a ° on o t l he c e i tor, upset aos pricekpe rprior offered o t r ho f date 2 for sale. on un m de r. r w s h tru ich tt t — he ls pr th opt e : e ty n was Mr. Scott replied " 1849." property ?
