On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow- We,- Pt anni. !mid an ha ran asanra on comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, via., Ist. For a lees sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. he can receive Yiplly. In the event of a desire to surrender his in this Company, by the above example, which Policy 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 to the ordinary syst dec em, ease he gets nothing. 4thly. Should h e require eor r 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 It up to the whole amount of his previous paements and with interest. After he Yes withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three Years, or any time afterwards.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 he can ath the all timesfacility i regnulatthe e his annual savings by his aunual expenditure, it bargain of having a fluid to fly to in case hoowev f ne er cessi thatty, the gets same Inte as in a bank, with this palpable advant a g e, , he rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive more tha an the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices do such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any fluid to Ily to for aid, all his hard•earned savings become forfeited his to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of Dior efortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equ i table and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be un i versa lly recognised and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a b ink because it allows a fair rate of 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 BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system are still more striking. ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY UNDER THE ORDINARY LIFE ASSURANCE BRANCH.

HOSIERY and CHILDREN'S DREiSES, - HATS and Ac., &c., particularly merit attention —novelty, superior quality, and low charges being rendered available to all classes by E. MOSES and SON.

This Company has been enabled to secure, in the celebrated Ne« , vada Diotrict, CaMontle, the right to ptirchase the large property of Thos. 0. Larkin. Esq., reported upon, as after mentioned, to contain 21,600 acres in ex' ent, and to possess extensive gold•bearing quartz veins anti auriferous deposits, an-I gold washings, and to be well adapted for agricultural purposes. The property is described as being situated on the ;vest bank of the Feather River, which is a tributary of the Great Sacramento River, and to be at a distance of about 95 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. Th 3 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 Surveyor, Nicholas Gray, Esq , who, in September, 1852, surveyed it as an officer under orders from the United States Government. After 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 veracity that a few diamonds have also been dug from the slope of the same mountain. The whole front of the estate on Feather River is about 24 mil, taking its meanders, and I believe the gold hearing quartz reek s i t o 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 documen naturep of the property; and other particulars of an in teresting respectieg this extensive territory may be inspected at the office of the Company. Mr. Gray states in his Reports that specimens of the quartz 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 careful management a la r ge return for t he 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 came 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 amine and location, and who would in no way interfere with the extraction of its mineral riches. The vendors 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 beforg mentioned. The entire price to be thus paid in mollies is probably not one-hundredth part of the mere value of the gold to be extracted from the lands, independently of their fitness and eligibility for oultivaloe ; and the company have been met with the greatest fairnesi by the vendors, who do not seek to be paid for the estate, except a deposit of 5 per cent on one moiety Board of Supervision, shall havesiamined.the estate, renorted upon of the purchase money, until an English surveyor, nominated by the pitricaandpedreacelraer% tithatorobretiaina aoefeopradraanticaesewamitahaatyhepap3raobspleecatauts.afTthhea - present capital is less than IN. • The Company may find it desirable that a town shall be erected sear the junction of the Feather Ricer with the north fork of that river; and as great facilities and advantages will be offered to resi dents, the particular land: 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 Sharehelderi the entire purchase money.

ALEXANDER ROBERTSON, Manager. Terrace Pier. 4 ti" NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE MEDITERRANgAN FLEET. It appears that we gave the Admiralty yesterday more credit than they deserve for their int':ntion so to rein force Admiral Dundas's fleet as to make it more nearly equal to that of the French. Instead of the Prince Regent, 90, Captain Hutton, Sidon, 22, steam-frigate, Captain Goldsmith, and Leopard, 16, Captain Gifford, having been ordered from Spithead to the Mediterranean, their instructions were merely to proceed to Devonport to await orders. We cannot account for this vacillation of their lord ships—or rather the Foreign -office. It is now well known, as stated in our second edition yesterday, that the French fleet of eight sail of the line (including three screw ships) and steamers, whose armaments we under rated yesterday, sailed from Toulon, under the command in chief of Admiral La Susse (the officer who com manded the Royal squadron on the visit of Louis Philippe to Portsmouth), with Rear-Admiral Jacquenot as second in command, on the 24th. This formid able fleet will probably communicate, perhaps anchor in the same roadstead with the English force. If so, what a shabby figure this country will cut along side the French. The British force, five sail of the line, one of them a`7B-gun ship ; the French force, eight sail of the line, three of them three-deckers, and all the others second-class ships ; but with this great and almost incalculable superiority in favour of the French—namely that of the eight, three are screw-ships. Taking, there fore Captain Chads' estimate of the comparative effici ency of screw-ships and sailing-ships, we must regard the French force as equal to 11 sail, or double the force of Admiral Dundas's fleet. This state of things is dero gatory to England as the chief maritime power in the world ; it is a reflection on our naval resources, which are ample ; it bespeaks an inferiority, which is not real ; it places us in a false position in the eyes of other powers. We have the means of appearing respectable in the Me diterranean, and yet our ships are kept . hugging the coasts and ports of England, whilst from unwholesome activity we are daily losing more men by desertion than we are entering for general or particular service. The French forces are in the Mediterranean, and there should also be at least an equal number of British men of-war, leaving at home at the ports ships quite suffi cient to form a powerful north sea fleet, should the weather or the state of affairs in the east threaten a cruise to " Yarmouth."—Herald. Rear-Admiral the Hon. M. F. F. Berkeley, C. 8., is spending the holidays at his country place at Fish bourne, Chichester. The Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., is at Albury-park, Guildford. Captain Milne, we are glad to hear, has just recovered from a severe attack of bilious fever. Captain W. A. B. Hamilton is still absent from Whitehall in consequence of the continuous presence of scarletina in his family. Rear-Admiral Corry hoists his flag on board the Queen, 116, Captain Michell, at Plymuuth, which ship has been prdered to enter her full complement, 970. She has now only 400 on her books ; where the other 400 blue jackets are to be found is a difficult question to solve. The following additional appointments have been made to this ship :—Lieutenants—W. B. llrmston (1848), C. Stirling (1851), son of Sir James Stirling, G. Taylor (1852.) Mates—R. Onslow, R. Chisholme, and H. Berkeley. Naval Cadets—R. Boyle and H. Herbert. Captain John Moore (1848), has been appointed to the command of the screw-corvette Highflyer, 21, at Ports mouth, vice Heathcote, promoted to the death vacancy of Captain Matson. Captain Moore is the son of the late Admiral Sir Graham Moore and neph ew o f t h e cele brated hero of Co runna . We believe he is the youngest captain of his standing on the list. Commander Thomas Archer (1851) died on the 24th, in Derbyshire, aged 69. This officer was on the com manders' reserved half-pay list. Lieutenant Frederick Robinson (1844), first lieutenant of the Queen, 116, died at the Royal Naval Hospital, Plymouth. This officer had seen a great deal of service as a mate, and was one of the unrewarded lieutenants of Sir James Ross's Arctic Expedition. Dr. Edward Nolloth (1845)' has been appointed to the Hercules, at Queenstown, vice Corry, in charge of the Isle of Skye emigrants. PORTSMOUTH, March 28. Rear-Admiral M. F. F. Berkeley, C. 8., M.P., one of the Lords of the Admiralty, and Capt. Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.B , &c., Surveyor of the'Navy, arrived in this port to-day on a semi-official visit, the gallant Ad miral from his seat, near Chichester. They made an in spection of the dockyard, accompanied by Rear-Admiral Arthur Fanshawe, C. 8., Superintendent, and especially the ships building and refitting, after which the visitors embarked in Rear-Admiral Fanshavve's barge, and visited the screw-frigate Highflyer, 21, Capt. Heath cote, and the Cruiser, 14, Commander the Hon. G. H. Douglas, both of which vessels got up steam this morn ing, and came into harbour. After inspecting these vessels, the gallant Admirals and Surveyor of the Navy landed and left the port by the four o'clock South Coast train. The IViegmra steam troop-frigate, Commander John ston, sailed from Spithead this morning for Barbadoes, with draughts of the 36th, 67th, and 69th Regiments• The sprightly steam-tender, Mr, (i mp All oA 40: ing-Master Commanding, left this afternoon for the east ward with supernumeraries for the ships fitting there. The Menelaus, lazaretto-ship for the Motherbank, was undocked this morning, after repairs, and the York, old 74, went into the vacated dock to be stripped of her copper, before being made a butt for the Excellent. A serious accident occurred this afternoon in this dockyard, on board the Conflict screw steam-sloop, to a seaman belonging to the Blenheim, named Charles Hider son, whose leg was broken by one of the gun-carriages falling on him. He was immediately conveyed to Haslar Hospital. The - Duke of Wellington 131 (screw), Capt. H. B. Martin, C.B.—This noble ship hauled out of dock this afternoon, at 5 p.m., into the steam-basin. It was somewhat feared they would not get sufficient water to float her off the blocks ; but everything was well man aged, and notwithstanding the enormous weight of her masts, spars, and rigging, with her iron tanks, cables, and anchors, and sundry other stores, she only drew 4 inches more than when she was docked, her water-line being now 20 feet 8 inches. She will stow 14 weeks' provisions and about 270 tons of water. She will now take on board her lower, fore, and main yards. PLYMO U TH, MARCH 28. Her Majesty's screw steam gun-vessel Rifleman, 8, Lieutenant-Commander R. H. Dalton, was spoken with, all well, at noon to-day, off the Start, by No. 6, Ply mouth pilot cutter. The Rifleman is 56 days from Rio Janeiro, is short of provisions, and was proceeding under steam and canvas for Portsmouth. Wind S.E. The Prince Regent, 90, the Sidon, 22, and the Leop ard, 16, from Portsmouth, arrived in the Sound this morning. The Rhadamanthus arrived from Woolwich on Sun day. The Hanoverian galliot Agneta Juliana, Captain W. Haan, from Seville for London, put in here this after noon with part of the passengers and seamen of the emi grant ship Duncan Ritchie, of Glasgow, Captain M'Kin non. This ship left Leith for Port Philip on the 19th of March, and has been leaking more or less ever since. On Good Friday, at 1 a.m., in lat. 49 23 N., long. 5 33 W., heavy weather from the south-east, the leak in creased and could not be kept under, the pumps being choked. At daylight she spoke the galliot, and sent on board the captain 's wife, all her passengers, and 13 of the crew. The next morning, Saturday, the weather abated, the leak decreased, and Captain Mliinnon dis patched his longboat, in charge of the mate; for the pas sengers and crew, stating his intention to bear up for the first pert. About 20 of the passengers returned, but the crew refused. After receiving stores from the ship, the galliot made sail. The Duncan Ritchie was at that time observed loosening her foretopsail, and the pumps still at work, her crew comprising only the master, chief offi cer, second mate, two carpenters, boatswain, one able seaman; the cook, and steward. The passengers landed here are Mr. Cameron, wife, and three children ; Mr. Smith, mother, and sister ; Mrs. Young and family of four, Mr. Henry Watson, and Mr. Alfred De Fivas-15 in all. The names of the sea men are William Mowatt, John Black, George Nicholl, Finlay Hamilton, Daniel Taylor, Neal M'Mullen, and William Allen, able seamen ; James Smith and John Malcolm, ordinary ; John Livingstone and Robert Seaton, apprentices ; Alexander White, steward ; and Robert Eurisson, cook's mate-13 in all. They state that the Duncan . Ritchie appeared to be preparing for prosecuting her voyage. SHEERNESS, MARCH 28. The Amphion, 34, screw steam-frigate.—Captain Charles G-. E. Patey, Lieutenant B. G-. W. Nicolas, and Lieutenant Charles S. Dunbar, have returned from Ply mouth and Portsmouth, having been engaged in volun teering service at the above-named ports. The Amphion will be put out of the basin to-morrow. The Lizard, iron paddle-wheel steam-vessel, has been docked to make good some slight damage to sponson stays. The Wildfire, steam-tender to the Waterloo, remains at Gravesend looking out for deserters. WOOLWICH, MARCH 28. The Royal Albert, 131, screw steam-ship, is progressing rapidly towards being ready for launching, upwards of 200 men and boys being constantly employed upon her on task and jobwork, and they are so anxious to make full time that many of them do not go home to dinner. The frame-work of the stern is now all put up the entire length of the alterations, and the workmen are making ready the piles on which will be placed the ways over which she is to pass when launched. It is stated in naval circles that Capt. John Moore (d) (1848) will have the command of the Highflyer screw mteath-sloop; in the room of Captain Henry'''. Matson,' deceased. Mr. John Dinnen, inspector of 'steam machinery afloat, visited the Tribune, 30, screw steam-frigate in dock at Woolwich, on Saturday last, to report the progress made in fitting her engines, by Mandalay, Sons, and Field, in order to state the actual valuq.of work done, for the in formation of the Right Hon. Sir J. Graham, that the First Lord may be able to give a correct statement to the House of Commons on its re-opening of the works executed, and sums drawn upon them at the close of the financial year, which expires on the 31st inst. Mr. Taplin, second-assistant to the chief engineer at Woolwich dockyard, left this afternoon for Birmingham to report on the state of works and sums drawn on ac count at that manufacturing town. The crews of the dockyard hoys are to be paid wages on Saturday next. RELEASE OF THE MADIAIS. The following letter has been received from Florence, dated March 19 : " The pardon of the Madiais arrived unexpectedly. It was the intention of the. Government that it should have been kept secret until their arrival at Marseilles. On Tuesday, the 15th, the two confessors were brought to Leghorn and immediately conducted on board a steam boat, where they remained 24 hours before they left for Marseilles. Only the English consul,. Mr. Macbean, and the Rev. Mr. Sleeman were able to see and converse with them. The former had received the information through a note which Rosa found means to convey to him. Their friends at Florence were informed by another channel, but it was too late. They arrived at Leghorn on Wednesday, the 16th, three hours after the steamer had left. Rosa was tolerably well provided with clothing, which Miss S had taken the precaution to place in the hands of the direc tor of the penitentiary at Lucca, at the beginning of the' new year. But her husband was not permitted to take what had been left for him by Mr. C-, at the inn at Volterra. He was obliged to proceed to Leghorn in bad cotton clothing. He has arrived knocked-up with fatigue, and chilled with cold. The English consul sent him warmer clothing, and a cloak, on board the steam-boat. As he was very feeble, and almost always obliged to keep his bed, I much fear the effects of so sudden a change and such a painful journey. He had fever and delirium dur ing the night he passed on board the steamer in the port of Leghorn ; but, thanks be to God, he is at last free, and restored to the care of his excellent wife. The Lord will accomplish what remains, or rather He will do all, as -He has hitherto done. Let us commit into his hands those He has just delivered, that He may watch over them in the day of temptation, and preserve them from spiritual pride. The Madiais are about to encoun ter new trials more dangerous than what they have already undergone. May the Lord be with them by his holy spirit. They have hitherto been full of grati tude-and humility, but let us continue to pray for them, and for all who suffer for the same cause. The Madiais will probably remain in the south of France, or at Nice, until Francisco's health is re-established. They will then, if it please God, proceed to Geneva. For a long time they will much need retirement and repose, and I am quite sure that, notwithstanding the very natural desire our brethren will experience to see them, they will be earcful not to compel them to exhibit themselves in public. Excuse the expression ; but you will doubt less understand me. The excellent Mr. C-, whose self-devotion is indefatigable, has embarked for Marseilles to rejoin those to whom he has already given so many proofs of brotherly affection, and, in order that he may himself superintend the necessary arrangements for their comfort. The English consul has besides given to them letters of introduction. This is nearly all lam able to tell you, and, indeed, it may be that, by the time you receive this letter, you may know much more than we do on this interesting subject." THE OYSTER TRADE OF NEW YOBS.—It would hardly be credited that the yearly sales of oysters in this city ex ceed five millions of dollars, and that the number of per sons employed in the business, directly or indirectly, is about 50,000. It is a singular fact, that of the whole amount of oysters sold in our markets, about two thirds come from Virginia, which has a more extensive oyster trade than any other State in the Union. The residue is obtained from the waters of our own State, and those of New Jersey—the East river furnishing the largest supply. A considerable supply is pro cured from Shrewsbury and York Bay ; but very few of the latter are consumed in this city, as they are cultivated particularly for the western market. One ;of the most interesting features in the business is the trans planting of oysters, or their removal from the "rock," or a natural bed to an artificial one. This process is of peculiar importance, and absolutely necessary to the successful prosecution of the trade. It would, in fact, be next to impossible to supply the market during the whole year, but for the general system of transplanting, which is pursued by all the dealers. More than a mil lion dollars' worth are removed every year to artificial beds, and by this means prevented from spawning, which renders them unfit for use. Thus a large proportion of our East river oysters were originally obtained from the North river, where the soil and water are not consi dered so favourable to their cultivation. Of the fifty thousand persons engaged in the business, the majority, of course, are dependent upon their - own labour for sup= port ; but there are a considerable number of the dealers, pr, as they might more properly be called, oyster mer chants, who possess large fortunes, amassed from the sale of oysters alone. They are among the most worthy of our citizens, and New York is not a little indebted to their enterprise for her extensive business in what has now become an indispensable article of food,—New York .11ercild. The Constitutionnel and the Assemblee Nationale, which, although greatly opposed to each other in general politics, and both organs in manufactures and commerce of the Protectionist party, attack the Debats for taking under its protection the ar guments of M. Dollfus in favour of admitting fo reign competition in cotton manufactures. The arguments in the two Protectionist journals are nearly the same, and generally speaking they are without novelty. We only think it necessary to extract from the Constitutionnel a paragraph in which it attempts to show that protection against the competition of foreigners does not prevent competition in France. It says : " There were in France at the beginning of last year 4,300,000 spindles for cotton, divided between 650 esta blishments, and occupying 60,000 workmen. It is esti mated that since the consolidation of order in 1852, nearly 500,000 more have heen constructed, or are being constructed. If there be a monopoly then, it is one that is singularly divided and warmly disputed." There is nothing else of interest in the original columns of the Paris journals. From the exposé des motif of the Budget of 1854 we make the following extract :-•-• " France is, we are pleased to hope, about to com mence from next year a fresh ascensional movement. The indirect revenues of 1854 have been estimated by the Government at 851,756,050 f. This amount exceeds by about 42 millions the produce of the indirect revenues of 1852. But .experience has, shown that the produce of this kind of receipts increases in times of security and of calm. The produce of the indirect revenues rose, for in stance, from about 569 millions in 1833, to 828 millions in 1846, or at the average rate of 20 millions a-year. The calculation of improvement which we have reckoned on is therefore borne out by the experience of the past. The extreme probability of its correctness may be seen when_it_iLsonsidered that the commencement of 1852 was subjected to thsecrirTretique of the political criais con nected with the events of the 2d of December. The pro duce of the indirect taxes during the interval from the Ist of March, 1852, to the Ist of March of the present year amounted to 821,286,000 f. In order to arrive at the previsions which we have adopted relative to 1854, it will be seen that it is only necessar; to suppose an in crease of 15 millions a-year, and it is difficult to enter tain a more moderate hope than that which in a pacific state of things supposes such an increase. The ensemble of the receipts for 1854 being estimated at 1,520,039,572 f. and the expenditure at 1,519,250,942 f., the general budget presents a surplus of receipts of 1,388,630 f. This surplus would even have amounted to 2,734,957 f., if we had not placed among the expenses the annuities regu lated by the rote of the bills on the repurchase of the different canals." _ _ The general account of the materiel of the War department for the year 1851 has just been pub lished, from which it appears the whole value of such materiel, as far as it can be approximatively estimated, was on the 31st of December of that year 448,857,481 f., being 11,570,180 f. more than at the corresponding period of 1850. In the items provisions are set down at 13,600,356 f. ; hospital expenses, 16,895,284 f. ; clothing, 22,758,197 f. ; military bedding and camp equip age, 16,327,931 f. ; general remount of cavalry, 38,998,610 f. ; forage, 8,349,935 f. ; artillery, 289,587,558 f. ; engineers, 17,246,675 f. • powder and saltpetre, 10,429,509 f. The different ser vices in Algeria amounted to 3,509,258 f. _ _ The Minister of Police has addressed the follow ing circular to the prefects, dated " March 15." It would appear to have been called for by the demon stration made by the Socialists of Paris at the late funeral of Mme. Raspail "Monsieur le Prefet,—The Socialist party.appears in clined to again put itself in movement, and seek for op portunities to bring itself before the world. Availing themselves of sentiments which are entitled to respect, they, in particular, appear to seize on the occasion of the funeral of certain persons to organise these manifesta tions, which assume a character exclusively political. In proportion as the Government is disposed to give every possible latitude to meetings which are formed under the inspiration of family affection, so much it ought to pay attention to prevent this kind of profanation, which seizes as a pretext on the mortal remains of some one quite unknown to the crowd which follow the coffin, in order to stimulate a respect which is only a falsehood, and to make a political demonstration which is evident to every one. We are no longer in a period when a handful of men could, without obstacle or repression, fill the public mind with fear or agitation, and the au thorities are bound to prevent and repress all that may tend to compromise tranquillity and interfere with good order. I therefore recommend you, Monsieur le Prefet, to adopt measures to prevent any such manifstations. The best means of doing so will be to prevent too great an assemblage at the house of the deceased, to dissipate every crowd of persons which should have the character of a mob, to prevent too great a number of persons unconnected with the family from entering the churchyard, and to interdict any kind of address or speech.* It is most important to unite the respect due to the dead with the measures called for by public safety,and you will have to recommend to your agents the greatest prudence and reserve in these delicate circumstances. I request you to keep me informed of any facts which may arise in your department connected with this matter." A letter from Toulon says that the sailing ves sels of the' Mediterranean fleet have taken five months' provisions on board, and not two months', as at first stated. The steamers have only taken supplies for three months, as they had no room for any more. Orders have, it is said, been given for fitting out the Friedland and the lena, and also the Tilsitt, but not with so much expedition. It has been stated that the inauguration of the tomb of the Emperor Napoleon, at the Hotel des Invalides, is to take place on the sth May, the an niversary of his death ; but, as Ascension-day this year falls on that date, the ceremony has been fixed for the 4th. It is to be attended by the Emperor, the Imperial family, deputations of the army _and navy, the Ministers, and the great bodies of the State. The Peace deputation has arrived here from Lon don. The gentlemen forming it arc- Sir James Duke, Bart., M.P., Sir Edward Buxton, Bart., Mr. Samuel Gurney, Mr. Wm. Gladstone, Mr. St. Leger Glyn, Mr. Thomas Dent, Mr. J. D. Powles, and Mr. G. Barclay. They are commissioned by nearly 3,000 of the merchants, bankers, and traders of London, to wait upon the French Emperor, and to present to him a declaration of the friendly feel ings which exist in England towards the people of France, and to deprecate the ill-feeling which the tone of certain English journals has been calculated to arouse. The deputation was received yesterday by the Emperor. The Evening Presse, in its usual weekly commer cial bulletin, says : " Business is very quiet in Paris, both in the manu factures and in the retail trade. The continuance of the cold weather does considerable injury to several branches of business. The fete of Longchamps, which is usually a period of increased activity in many branches of trade, has passed over almost without any effect. The export houses have, during the past fortnight, given some or ders for the manufacturers, and English houses have made some purchases in perfumery and gloves. Several manufacturers are also employed for the Brazil and South American trades, but almost all the orders for the United States are executed. The accounts from Rouen, Mul house, and other points, state that business is also very dull there." There was not a great deal of business transacted on the Bourse yesterday, but the sales effected were principally at a lower figure than the currency of Saturday. Bank Stock experienced a heavy fall, this description of securities being operated in at a decline of 20f. In the Three per Cents. for cash there is no change to report from the last quoted prices ; but the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. exhibit a decline of sc. For the account the Three per Cents. have fallen 15c., while the Four and-a-Half per Cents. remain as last reported. The market had a generally firm appearance at the close of business. The following were the closing prices :—For cash—Three per Cents., 79f. 90c. ; Four and-a-Half per Cents., 103 f. 65c. For the account—Three per Cents., 79f. 80c. ; Four-and a-Half per Cents. 103 f. 60c. Bank Stock, 2,640. SPAIN. The Countess de Montijo, mother of the Em press, arrived at Bayonne on the 21 st, and left i n the morning of the 23d for Madrid. She wa s waited on by the civil and military authorities, and was serenaded by the band of the 35th Regiment. The Queen of Spain has given orders that the Countess shall be escorted from Irun to Madrid by a guard of honour. The Madrid journals of the 23d have arrived in due course. The Gazette contains a royal decree, by which the Order of the Golden Fleece is con ferred on H. R. H. the Prince of Prussia. These journals publish a report of the sitting of the Se nate on the 22d, on the motion proposed by the majority of the committee on the affair of General- Narvaez. The principal speaker was the Minister of War. He declared that General Narvaez, when in power, had done the very thing of which he now complained ,• and that the terms of the royal decree respecting him were a l so justified by those which he had used wh en m i n i ster in depr i ving Captain- General the M arqu i s de Rodil of hi s places, grade, and decorations. The Minister complained of th e publication of the remonstrance addressed by Ge nerall Narvaez to the Queen ; said he would not I• but accuse him of having personally calmed it, th - dught he was bound to protest against it, in order to free himself from all suspicion. M. Ros de Olano replied, and made a warm ..eulogium on Narvaez though, he said, h e h a d w h en i n power carried the principle of authority to excess. In the sitting on the 23d the debate was resumed by the Minister of Ma " rine, and was continued by M. Pena A.guayo, who maintained the right of the general to return to the Senate. The Minister of the Interior pro.. ceeded to reply, and was speaking when the post left. The proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies on the 23d were confined to the examination of election returns. The committee on the demand of the government for authorisation to levy the taxes has elected M. Esteban Collantes its pre sident, and M. Hurtado its secretary. The cold continued excessive. The 23d being a holiday, the Stock Exchange was not open. Among other GERMANY. propositions that will engage the attention of the Germanic Diet in considering the question of the federal fortresses, is that for the construction of a fortified camp around Rastatt (Baden). for which Austria requires 4,000,000 florins, to be paid by the Confederated States. The German Journal of Frankfort states that the French Government has proposed to the Ger manic Diet to enter with it into a treaty for the protection of literary property, but that the Diet refuses to open at once negotiations on the „subject, as the moment is not opportune. On the 23d, the police of Heidelburg went to the house of Professor Hagen, ex -representative of the National Assembly of Frankfort, and seized all his papers. _ A - Vienna letter in the Augsburg Gazette states that the Austrian troops who were on their return from the South have received orders to halt. The Archduke William, Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian army, by an order of the day of the 23d, makes known that the army is not expected to take part in the subscription now raising for erecting a church to commemorate the escape of his Majesty from assassination. The reason assigned is that their pay is too small to permit them to make sacrifices, and also that they have given so many proofs of their loyalty that no more are needed. A deputation of the Saxon colony from Transylvania was received on the 22d by the Arch duke Francis, father of the Emperor of Austria, and presented an address expressing their hearty congratulations on - his Imperial Majesty's recent escape. - • _ ITALY: The Messaggere of Modena publishes a decree of the Duke of Modena, dated the 17th, in which, after alluding to the dangers arising from the reck less attempts of secret societies against legitimate sovereigns, it is enacted that all political offences, including insults to public functionaries'and the military, wearing revolutionary cockades or othei tokens, seditious songs or cries, &c., are to be sum marily judged by military commissions. The Augsburg Gazette contains a letter from Roue, which declares that the Pope has pro pounced in favour of the journal, the Univers, on the _ appeal of M: Veuillot, against the censure passed on it by the Archbishop of Paris. A letter from Rome of the 20th says :—" The Pope opened this morning at St. Peter's the series of ceremonies of the Holy Week.. *The congrega tion was extraordinarily great, and in it were several French officers and soldiers." The Finance Consulta of Rome held its last sitting on the 18th. It has reduced the deficit of 1,500,000 piastres (1,325,000 f.); by savings amount ing to about 720,000 piastres (3,996,0001.), and has recommended the government to contract a debt of 800,000 crowns (4,440,000 f.) It has also au thorised it, in case of necessity, to cause one quarter of the land tax, estimated at 400,000 crowns, to be paid in advance. " His Holiness," says a letters " declares openly that of all the institutions which the necessity of the times compelled him to try, the only one which had responded to his ideas and realised his hopep-is the Consulta. The members of the ConsulK are of opinion that when closely examined into, the financial situation' does not warrant the excessive fears which have been raised respecting it, and which they for a time entertained. Tbey are convinced that with order and good man agement the ordinary resources will suffice to esta blish the equilibrium. The Consults has com plained that the salaries of the functionaries, which in 1830 were 1,100,000 piastres (6,105,000 f.), rose to 1,300,000 (7,125,000 f.) in 1846, and at present amount to 2,100,000 crowns (11,655,000 f.)" A letter from Rome, in the Parlamento of Turin, states that, although the Papal Minister of Finance had fixed the Ist of January, 1851, for the Collec tion of the new tax on trades and commerce, com plaints against it flowed in so num erous ly, that the Pope directed a new revision of the tariff, being the third since the original enactment. The defi nitive tariff is now published, and the tax is to be collected immediately with the arrears from Janu ary 1, 1851. The French court-martial at Rome has just con demned a woman, named Santa Manganelli, to five years' imprisonment in France, for attempting to kill three French soldiers. TURKEY. The Hamburgh News, under date of St. Peters burg 14th, says :—Prince Mensehikoff, the Ambas sador Extraordinary to the Ottoman Porte, is the bearer of the most precise instructions enjoining him to insist that the firman published on the sub ject of the Holy Places, conformably 'to the trea ties entered into, and the promises made should be faithfully executed and not eluded, as they have hitherto been. Russia will, in case of need, support these demands. Much attention was some time since excited by the tour of inspection made by the Emperor, and particularly by that of the -fleet, at Sebastopol and the works of the fortifications. This journey is now explained. The reports of a con . - templated partition of Turkey appear to be void of foundation in the opinion of those who are ac quainted with the policy of Russia. Russia will, in the first place, know how to prevent such a partition as well as the union of the small Southern Sclavonian. States into a powerful centralised Turkish Empire. The political object of Russia is the gradual development of this group of Sclavonia,n States, because, like the petty States of Germany, they are the most convenient neighbours, and pre sent ,the most apt form for the preservation of the influence and protectorate of Russia. Up to this time no one here thinks of any serious complica: tions. The energetic attitude assumed by Prince Menschikoff at Constaniinople may have no other object than to see how far he may go as regards France and England. I can add, from a source worthy of credit, that Colonel Kowalesky and the Austrian Ambassador have formally declared to Omer Pacha, that if he had not evacuated Mon tenegro before the 14th, and crossed the frontier, Austria and Russia would interfere in arms." • The '70,000 Russian troops concentrated in the vicinity of Moldavia and Walachia had orders to obey the first call of Prince Menschikoff, in the event of his mission to Constantinople requiring such a demonstration. The Cologne Gazette gives a letter from Berlin, which states that Prussia has resolved, in case that the 'Eastern Question should lead to serious compli cations, to remain altogether neutral. There is a current report that the differences be tween Turkey and Russia are to be referred to the arbitration of King Leopold, of Belgium. A con gress of the powers interested is proposed, and Brussels is named as the place of conference. The Belgian Ministers have had several meetings on the subject. The A gram Gazette states, from Montenegro, that on the 28th ult., the Woivode George Petro witsch ordered all the troops of Montenegro to re turn to their homes, except a few to guard eight different points of the territory. The losses suf fered by the inhabitants of Limniani, Montinie, and Povie, are to be made good to them. The orphans of the warriors that have fallen are to be assisted by the State, and a commandant, named Pero, of Bielica, is to be t r i e d for hav i ng b e h av ed ill during the battle of Limniani. SWITZERLAND. A lstter from Berne of the 26th states that the Canton of Ticino is tranquil, but that as a measure of precaution the troops at Luvino have been rein forced. The Governments of Zurich and the Vaud have declined to comply with the invitation of the Council of State of Geneva to convoke the Federal a i o o n n fi d o f e n all c e e i x s n t n h g e Diet. Federal Council They say Y or tthheeytehrmavine ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN.—The express King's-cross at four . p.m., did not arrive train, due at , yesterday until a q uarter p ast five; in consequence of a coal train having run off the rails between Holloway and The express h avin g reached this s p ot, could, of course, Hornsey, there b y s t o pp i ng all traffic on the up rails. proceed no further on the proper rails, and after waiting • considerable time for the foui o'clock down train pass inc.-, it was attempted to be moved on to the down line of rails and so come in, but in the attempt it followed the example of the coal train, an engine placed behind and two or three carriages running off the rails, thus stopping the traffic on the other line of rails, and de laying the passengers until a fresh engine and carriages could be brought from King's-cross. Providentially no one was injured, though many were very much alarmed. THE CITY STATUE OF SIR ROBERT PEEL.—A colossal statue, by Behnes, in bronze, is in course of preparation, to be erected in the open space fronting the Mansion. house.
