OPENING of the BISHOPSTOKE and SALISBURY BRANCH of the SOUTH-WEST ERN RAILWAY. WEDNESDAY, Jaw. 27,-.This was a day of general rejoic ing and festivity, it being fixed upon for the opening of this branch. Many previously unforeseen accidents prevented its being ready for traffic earlier. Even on last Friday an arch fell in situated at Pope's Bottom, about four miles from Sa lisbury, which accident it was then feared would have caused a further delay, but the company surmounted the obstacle by setting mew instantly to work to repair the mischief, they being ordered to work night and day ; hence by Monday (in three days) the arch was rebuilt, well cemented, and made much more secure than on its first erection. Yesterday, and during last night, the rain descended in torrents, accompanied with thunder and lightning (very unusual at this time of the year). Many began to fear some other obstacle might arise to prevent the much-desired opening, but fortunately such was not the case. At eleven o'clock the approach to the railway was densely crowded by anxious spectators, there being at that hour more than 2,000 respectable inhabitants of the city present, all desirous to witness the arrival of the first train into this city. At 25 minutes past 11, the smoke from the engine was observable, which was greeted with deafening cheers. In a few minutes the train approached carefully and steadily; the engine being driven by Mr. Nay lor, and bringing in all 23 heavily-laden carriages. Among the carriages laden were three filled . with coals, of the weight of 50 tons, to be given - Away to the distressed citizens and inhabitants of Salisbury ; the next train to bring 50 tons more, for the same kind and benevolent purpose. The dis tance between Salisbury and Bishepstoke is 21 miles.

Deulln. no such practice had been adopted, and that there was no other probable cause for this comparative prosperity, to the operation of which it could reasonably b• ascribed. Such a result would naturally afford the strongest presumptive evidence of the salutary effects and beneficial action of this peculiar custom, and that if brought into general use throughout the kingdom there would be similar effects. He therefore became the strenuous advocate for the extension of the Ulster tenant-right to all parts of Ireland, for affording the tenant-farmer such a permanency of tenure as would create a feeling of proprietorship in his mind, and induce him to expend his capital on the land, to bring it to the highest degree of cultivation, and to effect permanent and lasting improvements, with the full conviction that he would receive an adequate return therefor, either in the length and certainty of his enjoyment of its fruits, so long as it suited him to retain the possession of his holding, or by obtaining a fair compensation for his outlay and labour, should it become desirable for him to change his residence. In Parliament and out of Parliament he has laboured incessantly for the promotion of this his favourite project, and we are delighted to find that he has given notice of motion for Tuesday next, so as to obtain a full discussion of the subject. The unjust and iniquitous penal laws by which our Roman Catholic brethren were so long and so cruelly oppressed, by which liberty of conscience was assailed, and the right of every man to worship his CREATOR in the manner which he deemed most proper curtailed and taken away, produced much mischief. By a sort of retributive justice they recoiled upon and injured the properties of those by whom they were enacted and continued. This led to the system so injurious to the country generally—the creation of a body of middlemen, who, having but a partial and precarious interest in the land, and little regard for its perma nent improvement, were too, often guilty of the greatest oppression towards theikcupiers, and sought by every means in their power to extort the greatest present gain, the highest rack-rent that could be wrung from the hard-working and ill-used cottier. The landlord was restricted in the choice of his tenant to those who could alone enjoy a permanent tenure, or become entitled to the elective franchise—to such persons long terms were granted, and all the rights and duties of proprietor devolved upon a class the most likely to abuse them. During the late war the value of land was greatly enhanced, and these middlemen derived very large profits ; they exacted to the utmost farthing from the occupier, and as if they supposed that their pros perity would be lasting, and that the high prices of every description of agricultural produce would con tinue, they expended the entire amount of their receipts without making any provision for a rainy day or a reverie of fortune. On the peace of 1815 a fearful re-action took place. First, the sub-tenants became unable to pay the rents they had assumed during the existence of war prices, and soon after wards, as a natural consequence, the midlleman himself was unable to meet his engagements with the real owner, and he found himself, perhaps with an expensive family, unskilled in any of the means by which they might earn their daily bread, involved in total ruin. He naturally struggled to the last against this state of things, and while he got into arrears with the head landlord he adopted every means to extract the last shilling from his own dependents. If improvements were effected he made no allowance to the person whose labour was expended thereon ; he only regarded them as a means of obtaining a higher rent, and the industrious and improving tenant was either driven from his holding or compelled to undertake payments which it was impossible for him to liquidate. Hence careless and negligent farming. No one sought to ameliorate the condition of his holding. If remon strated with, the invariable answer was, " Why should I make improvements, when I do not know if I shall be permitted to enjoy them ;" and " the want of time" was the almost universal topic of complaint in every part of Ireland. In Ulster, however, it was different, The tenant who performed his part of the contract was never disturbed ; he was permitted to dispose of his " goodwill," which often sold for ten or fifteen years' purchase of the rental. He was encouraged to make improvements, and these improve ments naturally followed. Let any one who doubts which system was most beneficial for the country compare the condition of Ulster with the rest of Ire land, and his doubts will be removed; and he, too, will become the advocate of that policy, which is proved to be of such national advantage. Lord PALMERSTON is in receipt of an answer from the French Government to his last dispatch upon the l a facts ta still e f should h Montpensier marriage. We si ncere ly h o p e th a t its fs contents may not require an o th er m i ss i ve .

Until, however, the last docu ment be made public, as it soon will be , it is impos sible to decide whether the discussion can, with pro priety, be at once suffered to terminate. As the matter stands at present before the public, Lord PALMERSTO N must feel proud o f the part which Eng land has adopted, under the auspices of his adminis tration of the Secretaryship of Foreign Affairs. his diplomatic adversary is sunk t o the lowest point of humiliation. NI. GulzoT is i rrecoverably degraded. He has rendered himself a politi ca l eyesore to every . court of the civilized world. 111. GuizoT is a melan choly spectacle. Not many months since, no man enjoyed a higher reputation than h e did . N ot only as an historian, philosopher and a statesman, had he acquired an enviable and European celebrity, but his virtues were esteemed to be equal to his talents. The fullest reliance was placed i n hi s h onour and in tegrity, and he wa s considered a choi ce representative of the French nati on for maintaining her intercourse with foreign rowers. In an evil hour M. Guizo - r consented to be the obsequious tool of a subtle and faithless KING, the bitter effects of which he is now beginning to feel. H ence f ort h M. G UIZOT will find himself placed without the pale of honourable men. For a ti me , everything seemed to smile upon his deceitful maneeuvres. M. GUIZOT and his colleagues embraced the conceit that their successful legerdemain would cause them to be caressed and admired by their own polished and chivalrous country. To/hinter in altum, ut lapsu graviore maul. The hour of retribution is at length come, and how rapid is the fall of the French Minister ! That portion of the press itself, which comprises the accredited organs of the Go vernment, is shamed into silence by the gross breach of faith which, .it is now as . clear as daylight, stamped the whole of M. GUIZQT s conduct in relation to the marriage of the INFANTA. The tide of public opinion in France herself is rolling back with fearful strength upon the head of the un scrupulous and unprincipled Minister. We venture to say, that no Old Bailey prac titioner would havi had recourse to the miser able subterfuge to which M. Guizur descended before our Ambassador, the Marquis of NOR • MANBY. The French can never remain passive till M. GUIZOT be cashiered from office. It cannot but occur to them, that the Northern Potentates must chuckle at the idea of receiving a strong moral protest from M. Guizor, upon the recent in corporation of Cracow, whose own hands were reeking at the time with the most flagrant breach of morality. How devoid of weight must be every French remonstrance emanating from the pen of such a ccnvicted Minister! Lord ABERDEEN, throughout: the voluminous dispatches, has been besmeared and bespattered with foul and fulsome praise by M. Guizor ; but, in the House of Lords last night, the Earl of ABERDEEN said, "I hope the House may not be called upon to give any opinion upon the Spanish marriages." The inference is plain--there can be but one opinion upon the sub ject-matter. Where public sentiment in either nation is so strongly evinced, it is unnecessary for Lord ABERDEEN to be more explicit. The French are keenly sensible that their national interests have been selfishly sacrificed to a purely dynastic feat. The English are satisfied that, whilst they alone sought to consult the independence of Spain, and to observe treaties inviolate, they have preserved their I honour immaculate. The citizens of Salisbury have set an excellent exam ple to the electors of England generally, and more especially to the electors of all Cathedral towns, A N, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 30, IM7.

OPERATION UNDER THE INFLUENCE OP ETHER.— An unusually large meeting of the medical staff; and noble men and gentlemen, interested in the important improve ment in the operative department of surgery, produced by the introduction of ether as a means of abrogating pain, took place in the operative theatre of the Westminster Hospital yesterday. The operator on this occasion, as upon the former successful trial of ether, was Mr. Hale Thomson, senior surgeon to the institution, and the apparatus employed was that of Mr. Robinson, on whom the duty of administer ing the vapour devolved. The patient was a young woman, apparently about 30 years of age, suffering from a painful tumour connected with the trunk of the body. In about three minutes insensibility was produced, and the operator, with a few strokes of his knife, succeeded in severing the tumour from an unusually broad connexion with the skin. The operation was rapidly and dexterously performed, and although the patient uttered some expressions of impatience at the commencement, yet it was some minutes before she was sufficiently recovered from her dream to answer the questions addressed to her. In her unprepared state the operation would have been one of intense suffering.

Sun imonses were issued yesterday to the Ministers to at te .nd a Cabinet Council this day at the Foreign office„ Downing-street. Two o'clock this afternoon was 'tihe time appointed for the meeting, and all the Mini scars were expected to attend. 11 then MACCHIAVELLI wrote his " Prince " he so far sppreciated the difficulties of legislation as to sane ti on the employment of the most questionable mee ma for the gaining of any political end. So thin oughly was the mind of that profound thinker imi ire ssed with the comprehensiveness of foresight and the extent of analogical power required in states mat Is: hip, that he found it impossible to purge from his pl tilosophy the cunning and reprehensible prin cipl es which were prevalent in his day. What was diffi ult in his generation is no less difficult in ours. Ind: the same great science of civilization which pre sent:et 1 obstacles to the depraved and licentious saga city ,of the BORGIAS has, in different epochs, presented equi tlly gigantic obstacles to LYCURGUS and ALFRED, to 11 4 61110 MET and DEA CO, to RICHELIEU and CoN FUC ars. Whether we look to the pandects of Jus- TIN cox or to the code of NAPOLEON, we shall recog- Disci., even , in those miracles of human wisdom, the me finitude and intricacy of the evils which must be va squished by the legislator. Nor are the evils op po ted to the proper administration of the law less nu feverous and embarrassing than those opposed to the accumulation and fabrication of the law. In eeah of the grand stages of legislation—the creative a . ad administrative—the obstacles to government are so- 'enormous as to be almost incapable of exaggeration. As Sir PETER PAUL RUBENS said, we think it A Itt , , of MASACCIO, " It is impossible to speak of him in lraguage too extravagant," we ourselves might say of these difficulties of statesmanship. The mainte nal ice of a country in a state of happiness and pros perity requires of itself a vast exercise of intelligence. It; is, therefore, easily comprehensible that in times of g eneral involvement and national destitution the ad n thaistrators and improvers of the law must be taxed to• the utmost stretch of their sagacity. Plain and in diisputable as these things are, there are thousands wbo regard them with either a real or pretended in credulity. We more than suspect it is the latter ; we► more than suspect that the multiplicity of the duties and responsibilities devolving upon an Admi nistration are wilfully depreciated by many for the furtherance of their own selfish interests. `What we have just observed, with reference to legislation generally, is peculiarly applicable to legis 'aeon in our own country, and at this particular period of scarcity and indigence. Indeed, the diffi culties inseparable from legislation are multiplied ,in exact proportion with the progress of civilization and the improvement of the constitutions of the empire. To express this plainly—it requires less exercise of the intellect to become a despot than to become the parent and guardian of a nation. The preservation of a proper balance among the interests and liberties of a populous kingdom necessitates the utmost caution ; the deliverance of a populous kingdom from want and wretchedness necessitates the utmost precaution. These truths are literally the A B C of political knowledge ; yet the ignorance or blindness of a large portion of the community upon this point is so obvious, that we conceive it would be well for them to revert to their political hornbook, and relearn by heart the chapters of their political catechism. It is very easily to see that there is an enormous amount of disquietude amongst a certain class at the precautions adopted by the Government at this ex traordinary crisis ; and it is very easy also to perceive the cause and origin of that disquietude. Lord Joux RUSSELL, like a prudent and sagacious statesman, conceals; from this class the precise proportions of the debt which must ultimately be incurred by the Exchequer for the alleviation of the pre sent distresses in Ireland and Scotland, and the estab lishment of permanent sources of prosperity where ever the existing evils indicate the insufficiency of the existing system. The other day we likened the miseries which have succeeded each other in Ireland to the emergings of the destructive agencies from the box of Pandora. We said, moreover, and we said it with exultation, that now those deplorable visitations have streamed out upon that island, there is still a residuum, as in the beautiful fable of Greece, and that that residuum is Hope. Yet it is this last boon, this last saving clause, this solitary cable which alone prevents the vessel of Irish Government from drifting out irremediably into the dark sea of national ruin and debasement; it is this sacred solace—Hope—which the class we have mentioned would eagerly destroy-- if they could. They know that it is the impera tive and solemn duty of a Prime Minister situated as the present Prime Minister of England, is to em ploy every rational and honourable means for impart ing confidence to the popular mind in these hours of peril. They know perfectly well that the machinery of this constitution is so exquisitely and intricately contrived that the very exposure of its secret opera tions would inevitably throw it into confusion. They know perfectly well that, while Lord Joux RUSSELL must in the end require an extraordinary loan for the expenses incurred in the alleviation of the sufferings of Ireland, it is for a million reasons as clear as the daylight that it would be criminal in him to make mat ters worse by prematurely divulging the extent of that ulterior loan. Yet, knowing these things, and ap preciating their justice, the great class of egotists to which we are referring are indignant with the Go vernment, because, by postponing the announcement of the additional revenue requisite for the emergency, Government deprives them of that most lucrative card--an opportunity of turning money with a maxi mum of interest, and the State the borrower ! When the secrets of Government are known, these men may, it is true, act prejudicially upon the national interests by furthering their own, but, thank GOD, 1 they cannot arrive at those secrets, in defiance of the 1 wisdom and silence of the Cabinet Mr. SIIARM kN CRAWFORD has long been honourably distinguished for the zeal and energy with which he has applied himself to what may be termed the land lord and tenant question in Ireland; he has made kim self perfect master of all its details, and after ful 4 examination he has satisfied himself that to its prac tical defects, and the manner in which the letting and management of land has been conducted in his native country, much of its distressed state, and the dis ordered nature of its social relations, may be attributed. He has seen that a portion of that country, that certain districts, in which a peculiar custom had prevailed, where it had been sanctioned and recognised by the proprietors, and acted on by the occupiers, of the soil, presented a remarkable contrast to, and had thriven, and improved in comparison with other parts, where vacancy recently ocuurred in the representation of Salis bury, and, setting aside all the repre3entatives of local factions, rejecting all mere - party politicians, they have declared themselves the advocates of progress in the best sense of the term, by electing as their representa tive one who has proved himself an admirable public servant—one who, by his energy, perseverance, and in dustry, has benefited himself, and, by benefiting himself, has at the same time benefited his humbler fellow-subjects by enabling them to earn the wages of honest industry : who, as chairman of the South-Western Company, has shown his eapacity for conducting public business: who, as sheriff of London, has, won golden opinions from all sorts of men. Animated by the single desire of contri buting to the public, they have chosen Mr. Chaplin as their representative, irrespective of mere party conside rations, and we trust that, at the next general election many constitubncies will return such men as Mr. Chaplin, " animated by the single desire of contributing to the public good." Such men are wanted in the House of Commdns. All honour, therefore, to the constituency of Salisbury for the admirable choice they have made, and may all other constituencies following their example, eschew political adventurers, and elect men of business. We refer our readers to a fuller report given in another column. According to a letter from Berlin, in the Augsburg Gazette, it has been resolved by the KING in Council to have an assembly in his capital of the three orders of nobles, burgesses, and peasants, to which are to be sub mitted all questions of taxation and loans. Count n'ARNIM, the ex-Minister. will,. it is said, be appointed President of this Chamber. The German Journal of Frankfort states, from Vienna, that the Archduke STEPHEN, who by a decree of the EMPEROR has been appointed as the successor, ad interim, of the late Palatine of Hungary, will be elected Palatine by the Diet, most of the Hungarian nobles being favour able to his nomination. A session extraordinary of the Diet of Saxony was opened at Dresden by commission on the 21st. The debates were to commence in the Second Chamber on the following day. A German journal says—" The Municipal Council of Stutgard, having signed a petition in favour of the liberty of the press, the Minister of the Interior of Wur temberg has been commanded by the KING to express to the corporation his displeasure at this proceeding." A letter from Munich of the 17th says— " Hp to the present time the Government has permitted a great number of persons, and particularly editors of news papers, to receive exceptionally by post foreign journals dis approved of by the censorship. The Minister of the Interior has now decided that editors alone shall be allowed to receive such journals, and on the express condition of taking an oath not to let them leave their office —not to communicate their contents to more of their colleagues than shall require them for editing their paper—and to deliver them up within a delay of twelve hours to the censor, who is to give a re ceipt for the same, guarding them under key for the Go vernment." Madrid papers of the 22d have arrived. The Isturitz candidates for the Vice-Presidency of the Chamber have been defeated, and Senor SEIJAS LOZANO and Senor JOSE CONCHA, who belong to the Moderado Opposition, have been elected. The Heraldo publishes the following list of those likely to form part of the new Ministry:— The Duke de S•tomayor, President of the Council and, Minister of Foreign Affairs; lli. Arteta, Minister of the In terior; M. Bravo Murillo, of Grace and Justice; M. Sotelo, of Marine; and M. Sierra y Moya, Minister of Finance ad interim, it being still hoped that M. Mon would consent to retain that department. No Cabinet had, however, been formed on the 22d, and it was considered not improbable that the Duke DE SOTOMAYOR would be obliged to resign the task he had undertaken. , The corps enlisted by General FLORFS to form part of the Ecuador expedition was recently disbanded a Santander. The Three per Cents. were done at 31% for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 207. ; the Coupons at 18 3 / 1 ; Vales at 8%; and Passives, 64. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The publication of the additional dispatches on the subject of the Montpensier marriage, more particularly of the note of the Marquis of NORMANDY to Lord PAL MERSTON, has produced a great sensation in Paris. No defence of M. GUIZOT has been attempted even by hia own journals, and the Presse is reduced to the necessity of protesting against the rancour of Lord PALMERSTON, which, it says, the fall of M. Gunor,will not calm unless it is accompanied by the fall of the KING of the FRENCH also. One effect of the publication of these dispatches has been to reconcile the differences which had broken out among the members of the Opposition. The seceders will now join M. THIERS in a vote condemnatory of the foreign policy of M. Gunor. With the exception of M. GIIIZOT'S own journals, which say nothing on the subject, the papers of all shades and parties are unani mous in giving expression to their feelings of shame and indignation at the disgraceful trickery of M. GuizoT. After copying the dispatch of the Marquis of NoR• HANDY to Lord PALMERSTON, dated Sept. 25, the Siècle says— " We defy any man of honour, to whatever opinion he may belong, to read the account given in this dispatch without the blood rushing into his face. Either Lord Nor manby is an impostor, unworthy to represent the Govern ment of a great country—and we are not aware that such an accusation has ever been brought against him—or the con duct of NI. Guizot is sovereignly contemptible. We do not know whether there exist in France men, a system, a party whom it may suit to be thus represented, but we are con vinced that the nation will never acknowledge Ministers who, instead of nobly upholding its rights and its interests, can only intrigue, trick, and lie." The Constitutionnel thus sums up the documentary evidence which has been published on this question, and as this article may be taken as the programme of M. TRIERS' speech in the debate on the Address, it acquires additional importance:— "'Although those marriages are regarded in different points of view, those who do not consider that a more strict union between the reigning families of France and Spain was pur chased too dearly at the price of the suppression of Cracow, as well as those who consider that the postponement of the union would have been more advantageous for France, as well as for the cause of liberty, are unanimous in one re spect. Every man feeling for the honour of France wishes that its Government should not be accused with justice of having violated every rule of sincerity and good faith." " France," adds the Constitutionnel, "is great enough that her Government, when it wishes to attain an object, has less need than any other to have recourse to duplicity. Let any man examine the docu ments which we place under the eyes of our readers, and let him judge if the fair reputation of our country has not re ceived a most lamentable stain. M. Guizot never ceased to repeat, both in writing and at the tribune of the f lumber of Peers, that the Whig Ministry practised in the question of the marriages a line of policy different from that of the Tory Ministry. We have already compared the dispatch of the 19th of July, in which Lord Palmerston explained confiden tially to Mr. Bulwer the state of the question, with the dis patch officially addressed by Lord Aberdeen to the Duke de Sotomayor to explain, on the 22d of June, 1846, the senti ments of the English Government with regard to the mar riage. Every man will see the identity of the two policies. We reprint those two important dispatches, adding to them a series of dispatches, addressed by Lord Aberdeen to Sir R. Gordon, to Lord Cowley, and to Mr. Bulwer, the representa tives oiGreat Britain, at Vienna, Paris, and Madrid. Those documents complete the proof of that fact. On the 6th of July, 1846, the Ministry of which Lord Aberdeen formed part retired from office. Lord Cowley remained, neverthe less, for some time, as British Ambassador at Paris. In a dispatch, addressed on the 13th of July to Lord Palmerston, he furnished him with the substance of Sir R. Peel's policy with respect to the Spanish marriages. On the 19th of July Lord Palmerston wrote to Mr. Bulwer—it will be seen that he had Lord Cowley's letter before him, and that he con formed himself in all points to the opinions expressed and to the instructions given by his predecessor. Nevertheless the Spanish Government again addressed the new British Ministry, the French Government, and the Prince of Saxe- Coburg himself, on the plan of an alliance between that Prince and Queen Isabella. M. Guizot denied in one of his notes that the Marquis de Miraflores was charged with a mis sion on that subject to the French Government. A dispatch of Lord Cowley, dated 20th July, obliges M. Guizot to ac knowledge that at least he was not completely informed. The Whig Ministry replied by a refusal to the overtures of the Spanish Government in favour of the Prince of Saxe Coburg, the Prince having demanded as a condition the as sent of the French Government. Lord Palmerston declared to Count Jarnac on the 24th of July (five days idler the date of the dispatch so much used by M. Guizot) that the candidate preferred by him, as well as by Lord Aberdeen, was Don Enrique. Lord Palmerston wrote on the 3d of August to Mr. Bulwer that one of the reasons why the pretensions of the Prince of Saxe-Coburg were not sup- ported by England was, that the marriage of the Queen with this Prince would be an object of dissension be tween Spain and France. From that moment until the 28th of August the English Cabinet gave at London, at Madrid, and at Paris, every proof of its desire to enter into co-operation with France in favour of Don En rique. Neither M. Guizot nor M. Bresson were ignorant of this fact. M. Guizot promised the Marquis of Normanby, on the 28th of August, on his arrival in Paris, that he would write to M. Bresson, in that sense. Never theless, three days afterwards, namely, on the Ist of Septem ber, M. Guizot announced to the Marquis of Normanby that the two marriages were arranged. He declared that the two marriages would not take place at the same time, without, however, engaging to wait until the Queen had children. We kno w th a t th e t wo marriages were solemnized at the same moment. When the Marquis of Normanby was ap priced of this fact, he waited on M. Guizot and explained him of his words. Do you know how Guizot in them ? ' I meant to say,' replied he , ' that ethfeNorn Queen t Yan p s h houl be marri e d first'—to which the Marqu is re plied that he had given to the words ce of M. Guizot their u not imagine that natural interpretation, and that he could Guizot wished simply to say, that the Queen should walk first in the ceremony. These a re some of the facts re vealed by those documents." The National asks— " Had we not reason to be indignant against a Minister declaring one thing positively, then denying his word, then again, when driven to ackowledge them, endeavouring to explain them by a most untenable quid pro quo? What can be the opinion formed •f this man by an Ambassador who detects him in a flagrant imposture ? What opinion can Europe entertain of a French Minister who can thus deal in the gravest affairs ?" After recapitulating the facts of the case the Nalional thus proceeds:— There is but one excuse for M. Guizot ; it is tile language I repeated successively by M. Laffitte, by M. Thiers, by Count Mole, by himself, in his last note but one to Lord Palmer ston—' I did not know all !' In fact, in a preceding dis patch, Lord Palmerston, wishing to prove that Spain was endeavouring to have the Coburg Prince, affirmed that the Marquis de Miraflores came to Paris with that object; that he had passed six weeks in en deavouring to gain it ; that he was Wfterwards to proceed to London. These facts were precisely stated. M. Guizot answered with equal precision, saying— 'lt is completely incorrect that the Marquis de Miraflores was charged with such a mission, and I affirm that he did not say one word to me on the subject during his sojourn in Paris.' fhis is clear and distinct. Read, however, the correspondence, and you will find in two dispatches from Lord Cowley, the man of Lord Aberdeen, an authentic proof that Miraillores did come to Paris with that intent; that he had an audience at Neuilly, and that he afterwards spoke of it to che English Ambassador. If M. Guizot did not know all this, why was he Minister? If he did know it, and denies it, how great must be the contempt with which he is covered in his own eyes? The Chamber may now be enlightened upon the manner in which this negotiation has been conducted." The Legitimatist journals, the France and the Quoti dienne, are equally severe in their strictures on the con duct of M. GUI OT, and rumours were current in Paris on Thursday that, he will be obliged to retire, as he cannot hold out against the force of public opinion. " These rumours," says the Commerce, " were the topic of conversation everywhere yesterday; no one doubted the fall of the Ministry. Some asked, at the Chamber, What position M. GUIZOT would hold as a simple Deputy?' When M. DEPIN replied—' The Doctrinaires are intriguers to arrive at power, insolent when they are in it, and intriguers when turned out.' " The Corn Importation Bill was passed by the Chamber ' of Peers on Wednesday nem. con. The Moniteur states, that during the first fortnight of January, 385,268 hectolitres of grain and flour have been imported into France. The quantity imported into Marseilles on the 22d alone amounted to 99,217 hectolitres of grain, and 1,100 metrical quintals of flour. The importations during the month of December had been 1,025,337 hec tolitres. The Minister of Com4erce has announced that from the Ist of January to the lst of November, 1847, foreign flour of different kinds will be admitted under the flag of any nation, and at a moderate rate of duty, into the colonies of Martinique, Guadaloupe, and Bourbon, and at St. Louis and Goree. - The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Thursday at 771. 35c. ; the Five per Cents., 1171. 40c. ; the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,212 f. 50c. ; Rouen, 875 f. ; Havre, 675 f. ; Great Northern, 6051. ; Avignon, 817 f. 50c. ; Vierzon, 560 f. ; Bordeaux, 537 f. 50c. ; Basle, 200 f. ; Paris and Strasburg, 4701. ; Tours and Nantes, 4671. 50c. ; Paris and Lyons, 486 f. 25c. ; Lyons and Avignon, 480 E ; Cette, 4471. 50c. ; Spanish Active, 33%; Spanish Three per Cents., 34 ; Spanish Domestic Debt, 30 BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT TIIE ' LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, JANUARY 29. _ _ Boulogne and Amiens, l4%—Bordeaux, Toulouse, and Cette (Mackenzie), I%—Central of France (Orleans and Vierzon), 13 Dutch Rhenish, 4%—East Indian, —Namur and Liege, 3—Northern of France, 12%—Orleans and Berdeaux, 74—Paris and Lyons, 7% MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CLERICAL AND MEDICAL LIFE ASSURANCE SO CIETY.—An extraordinary general meeting of the proprietors and the assured was held yesterday at the Company's Offices Great Russell-street. Joseph Moore, Esq., M.D., chairman of the board of directors, presided. During the five years, ending 30th of June, 1846, the as sets leaving amou a amounted to 639,7971. 6s. 5d., and the liabilities to 484, 5501 ., su rplus of 155,242/. 65., while in 1841 the corresponding surplus was only 59,0001. In conformity with the provisions of the deed, one-half of the profits is to be divided among the assured for life,.and one-sixth part among the proprietors; but in order to avoid inconvenient fractions the directors recommend the division of 154,500/. This apportioned to the assured for life 77,3501., and to the proprietors 25,750/., leaving one-third of the entire profit, amounting to 51,5001., to be laid by and to accumulate as a reserved fund. The proprietors received a bonus of 51. 3s. per share, and the assured had added to their policies a sum of 114,031/., being the equivalent in reversion to 77,500/ 9 payable at the death of the respective parties, and forming an addition equal on an average to more than 36 per cent. on the premiums received during the last five years. Mr. Lydeker, Mr. Fielder, Mr. Streeter, and other gentlemen congratulated the proprietary on the gratifying nature of the report. The next subject considered was the amendment of some of the regulations and provisions of the society relating to the investment of their funds. The directors were em powered to make loans to incorporated railway companies in Great Britain and Irelend authorised by Act of Parliament to borrow on mortgage or bond. It was also &Tided that nine tenths of the amount, instead of two-thirds, might be ad vanced to parties assured on the szcurity of their policies. A sum of 1,4001. and an annuity of 2001. were voted to the widow of the late secretary. Thanks having been voted to the chairman, the meeting separated.

A splendid specimen of American naval architecture ne lies in the London Docks, viz., the new liner, named, in ooh P i • pliment to the late Premier, Sir Robert Peel. The burden this vessel is about 1,000 tons, and the arrangements are ? i1u .. ( 1 only elegant as regards the superior cabins, but admir likewise in reference to the accommodation for steers& passengers, 400 of whom can be comfortably house between decks, with a height of 7% feet, and e n , the low rate of about Si. each. This ship to solidity and symmetry beats even her predecessors, and the least interesting fact in connexion with her is, that re %. was built in the short period of three months from the lay ing down of the keel, by one of the first American ship wrights, and under the superintendence of her able con r mander, Captain Daniel Chadwick, who has made 149 vo ages, extending over a period of, we,believe, twenty-seven ; twenty-eight years, and never had but one casualty, viz. , t loss of a rudder and three men overboard. The Sir Role' %i Peel brings over a glorious free-trade cargo, and bids fair to sail on even more triumphantly than the beautiful la i 1 Wellington, so often brought to port by the same able r 4 I‘ P manship. of The Bank of England continues to diminish its reserYe o. notes, and if this goes on, must limit further its accoter dation to the mercantile public.
