Notwithstanding the convulsive efforts that have bsen made to ()Mail) the votes of the electors for the Government can- THE SUN, LONE'ON, WEDNESDAY - Yin N LNG, .1 1 71c 1 / 4 ,E 0 ..4, 1857. didates, and to induce every person to exercise the franchise in some way or other—abstaining From voting being regarded as a more serious manifestation of hostility than supporting the wrong side—less ;than one-third of the registered electors have bestowed their most sweet voices on the proteges of the Ministers. Out of 350,000 registered electors only 110,525 appear to have voted in accordance with the Imperial requisition, while 96,199 have gone directly the other way, But no loss than 143,276, or about three-sevenths of the whole number, have stood aloof from the entire pro ceeding, determined that their names should not be identified with the political farce. This was, indeed, a serious demonstration—one more pow erful, and far more significant, than open resist ance to the Imperial ukases. Intimidation and cajolery were alike ineffectual. More than 140,000 adult males, inhabitants of the French metropolis, practised the policy of abstention with complete success ; proving, beyond the possibility of doubt, that they had no confidence in anything that could be effected by the Chamber of Depu ties, under the existing circumstances of the country. Will the EMPEROR be warned, while there is yet time ? Will he attend to this handwriting on the wall, as distinct as that which warned BEL SHAZZAR of his impending doom ? It ought to teach him that a mere colourable representation will not suffice ; that the people require, not merely the shadow, but some of the substantial elements of freedom. Sullen discontent, as evinced by those who refrained from exercising the franchise, cannot be trifled with. A safety valve is required to permit the escape of elements. dangerous to the national safety..—and doubly so to the permanency of his dynasty. Many may acquiesce for peace sake, and the preservation of order, but there are too many still " nursing their wrath, to keep it warm," whose complaints, if not loud, are deep. Timely concessions may avert the peril. But no time should be lost. Any moment may produce an explosion. The action of a constitutional opposition would go far to pro vide the remedy, but the measures adopted with a reckless disregard to public opinion having prevented such an opposition from springing into existence, other means may be re sorted to, which may prove even less to the taste of the Government, and where the stake will be of far greater magnitude than that affected by divisions in the Chamber. It may not be merely the existence of a Ministry, but the fate of a dynasty, that may be jeopardised. The Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill has passed safely through the shoals and quicksands by which it was obstructed. No thanks, how ever, are due to its opponents 1 They resorted to every means by which the measure could be neu•• tralised or defeated. They were, however, for tunately unsuccessful, and thereis every reason to anticipate that the bill will pass into a law during the present session. It certainly, does not go so far as we should desire. It is branded with gross and palpable injustice to the fair sex. But still it is a step in the right direction, and we have no doubt that it will eventually lead to the introduc tion of more equitable and impartial enactments. It is a perfect farce to speak of the indissolu bility of the nuptial contract. The argument is a century and a half too late. For that period the Legislature has been in the habit of passing bills for that purpose, which, when the preliminary conditions have been complied with, have be come as much a matter of course, as the verdict of a jury, or the decision of a Court of Equity, when the proper evidence has I;een supplied. The only point at issue is, whether relief may not be administered as wisely and cautiously by eminent judges, as by the Legislature itself. The expenses will not be quite so enormous, and, therefore, the area of relief will be extended, but we do not in the slightest fear that a divorce " a vinculo ma trimonii" will, in any case, be granted by the New Court, which would not also be sanctioned by Par liament, if the claimant could afford to defray the heasy expenses incidental to the application. Great reliance is necessarily placed on judicial discretion. For the same offence a criminal may he subjected to the highest secondary punishment known to the law, or may escape with the infliction of a nominal penalty. He may be reduced to a con dition far worse than that of a slave—banished for ever from his native land, or kept for a protracted term in penal servitude, or dismissed on payment of a nominal fine, or a period ofimprisonment that has actually expired at the time of the sentence being pronounced. And yet this wide discretion is seldom, if ever, abused. Why, then, might not the dissolution of marriages be entrusted to a similar discretion ? and, above and beyond . all, why should females be debarred of the possibility of obtaining relief, however gross the ill-usage to which they have been subjected, and palpable the impossibility of their ever again living in amity with their oppressor The principle adopted is that an injured woman may be coerced into a condonation—that she must either make up her mind to lead a life of cheer less solitude, or pardon the offender, who, oblivious of his solemn vows at the altar, and of every marital duty, has outraged the purest feelings of her heart. We are satisfied that the power might safely be conferred, and that where there was a possibility of forgiveness the prayer of a repentant husband would rarely be disregarded ! But, why should not the new tribunal be enabled to sav, just as well as the Legislature, whether the cir cumstances were such as " to render future coha bitation impossible I" That was the test adopted by Lord CAMPBELL, and there can be no adequate reason why it should not be enforced by the judges. More stringent proofs might be re quired where the claimant was an injured wife, but when these proofs were forthcoming and an overwhelming case established, why should the female be debarred from the remedy to which she is justly and equitably entitled ? One amendment was carried at the suggestion of Lord CRANWORTH. The power of unlimited fine and imprisonment against both parties was taken away, and a power of fining the male of fender only retained. Th's is a decided improve ment, for the power of incarcerating parties with out the intervention of a jury should be charily conceded, and there were satisfactory reasons to show that the probable imprisonment of the fe male might, in many instances, defeat the objects of the bill. It is for the women of England to obtain the rights to which they are so justly entitled, but which have hitherto been so contumeliously de nied. The present, although a decided improve ment on the existing law, is a partial and one sided measure. It may, however, be amended. "The sharp end of the wedge" has been intro duced, and if the gentle sex are only true to themselves and to their suffering sisters, if they only set their own shoulders to the wheel, they may be assured of the eventual triumph of the good cause. pATTERSON's glorious day-dream of a sea-water ship-canal is at length in a fair way of being res. lined. But not at first where it was intended to be realised by the Founder of the Bank of England. Not at Darien or Panama; but at SUEZ and Pelusium. The former, grander, inter-oceanic enterprise may follow afterwards in due couree—will, must, inevi tably follow afterwards sooner cr liter. But, pre viously there appears to be at length every rea sonable prospect of a similar design being carried out East wards instead of Westwards—in the heart of the Old instead of in the centre of the New Hemisphere. Opinions have long been divided as to which of these two kindred projects might be regarded as the more feasible—whether it would be advisable.to adventure first upon cutting through the Isthmus of Stiez, or through the Isthmus of Panama. It was a tempting alterna tive. A ship canal between the Atlantic and the Pacific, or a ship canal be tween the Red Sea and the Mediterranean ! Expeditions of research have been sent out to re connoitre in each direction. But a miserable fatality appears (if one may venture to say so) to have hitherto, for the time being, barred the ad vance of our hopes across the narrow strip of land connecting the two great American Continents. Heretofore it has been but a name of ill-omen-- The Darien Expedition ! Poor WILLIAM PAT TERSON and his Puritan compatriots were starved to despair and all but exterminated. Poor EriLroe WARBURTON immediately after detailing the tragic incidents of that disastrous adventure in' a historical romance of thrilling in terest—himself bound upon a kindred enterprise— was burnt to death upon the high seas, when the steamship Amazen was destroyed upon the Atlan tic by a conflagration. Every one remembers the unfortunate close of the engineering investi gation entered upon in that same direction, soon after the premature and dreadful demise of Mr. • WARBURTON. • Ib has been otherwise with the scientific re searches instituted with reference to the Isthmus of Suez, with a view to -the ultimate construction of a ship canal between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. There the one golden and desir able project has been kept in view no less assiduously, but under circumstances infi nitely more propitious. It captivated the ima gination of the last of the World's Groat Conquerors. And NAPOLEON loved to linger over the design of opening a broad sea-water channel between Suez and Pelusium—just as he afterwards hung over the plan, and ultimately realised the project, of building a Colossal Granite Highway across the Alps, permanently connecting France and Italy by means of the magnificent Passage of the Simplon. Altogether surpassing in. the lit ter instance the mere temporary device of HANNI BAL, and in the former instance entirely eclipsing the vain-glorious phantasy of an elder age, the one which designed to carve Mount Athos into a Giant Statue of ALEXANDER ! A statue holding a City in the palm of one hand, and pouring a River from the mouth of an Urn upon which the other was to rest reposingly ! The Passage of the Simplon was realised, as we all know, and still exists among the noblest of the many Imperial creations Of NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. But his intention of constructing a ship-canal between Suez and Pelusium was—as we all know equally well—wholly frustrated. His occupation of Egypt and Syria in 1798-1799 closed very soon after its commencement. The opportunity never re curred—for NAPOLEON. It presented itself later on to MA/COMET ALl—but MAIIOMET Am died in extreme old age long afterwards, still retaining the sceptre of Egypt firmly in his grasp, and at his death the project of a Suez ship-canal still re mained provokingly unrealised! It is so still. But the conviction has at length spread far and wide that it is really and truly, after all, realisable ! • And so the Design is actually, upon this very day, Jane 24, 1857, formally submitted to the consideration of the sound com mon sense, the judgment, and experience of the mercantile men of the city of London. The particular plan to be investigated is that of FERDINAND DE LESSEPS. The distance to be traversed by meant of the proposed sea water channel is 'within 100 milesninety t bvo miles, or thereabouts, from Suez to Pelusiurn. Midway between those two seaports lying Lake Trnesah ! The whole undertaking involving an expenditure (according to the calculations of M. DE LESSEPS) of B,ooo,oool.—and a further annual expenditure, to " keep up" the Canal and the Ports, of 70,0001. additional. The resources of revenue suggested by the now projector of the old enterprise being traceable chiefly to a systom of tells—Vie average charge being that of ten francs per ton : which upon the supposition (not an unreasonable supposition) of a yearly transit of 3,000,000 tons, would result in a re venue of 1,200,0001. upon an outlay of 8,000,0001. Such is the project submitted this day to the scrutiny of the sagacious merchant princes of our metropolis. We have very little doubt that even supposing it not to be at once regarded by them most favourably—it will ultimately, sooner or later, be recognised by them and others as a good and secure investment. Lord PALMERSTON read the gentlemen of Con vocation a quiet lecture on Saturday. He spoke to them by expressive silence. If they but learn from him to debate less and to preach more and better, his instruction will not have been lost. The Archbishop, though wanting in firmness to carry out his views, showed at first his disinclina tion to anything beyond a formal meeting, as at York, of the antiquated appendage to the real Parliament. By degrees, the busybodies of Convocation obtained so far the upper hand as almost to compel his Grace to prolong their sittings, and this year they concocted for him an address to the Throne in which they very broadly hint—indeed more than hint—that they should like her MAJESTY to give them something to do. After expressing becoming sympathy with the QUEEN under her recent bereavement, congratulat ing her on the bishoprics which without State aid, have under her reign been created in every quarter of the globe, "from Africa to New Zealand, from Vic toria to Rupert's Land," " Sees which gem the earth," as he of Oxford saith ; after deploring the difficulties in the way of keeping children of the labouring classes longer to the School and the Catechism ; after this affectionate and benevolent episcopal exordium, they inform her MAJESTY, that if she will " commit t 3 their special deliberation" any difficult or urgent business affecting the interest of Religion or the usefulness of the Church, they, to be brief, will do the business convocational justice ; but they remind her that " hithert o the shortness of time given to our consultations has in a great measure frustrated the advantages which we humbly trust would result if fuller opportunity were afforded for ascertaining the opinions of the clergy by discussion in convocation." Like the Manchester manufacturers, their power of pro duction has been limited by their being put on short time. They only crave, therefore, like the men of cotton, a more ample supply of the raw ma terial, and to talk for "full time." This request seems very fair since, as they remind her MA JESTY, she, in her writ of summons, assembles the reverend and right reverend gentlemen " to treat of certain difficult and urgent affairs c9ncerning your MAJESTY, the security and defence of the Church of England, and the peace and trarquil lity and public good of your kingdom and your subjects of the same." Surely when they do meet, her MAJESTY, through the Archbishop, might be expected to lay before them something corresponding to the terms of the summons. Now the Bishops, at least, should know better than all this. They, including - the ever-restless spiritual lords of Oxford and Exeter themselves, once went through the farce of an ecclesiastical elec- tion ; they can remember the leave given to the electors to elect them, and the invi tation to all persons who had anything to object to them to come forward, with the zefusal to hear those who did so, and the de claration that in default of coming forward they were contumacious. After the farce of election, Confirmation, and all the rest of it, the farce of a Convocation to treat "of difficult and urgent matters," and of its being left with no matters at all, not even the most insignificant, to treat of, ought not to grate on Episcopal feelings. Why cannot they be content, so long as their good round incomes, are, at least, no farce ? The PREMIER has, however, advised her MA JESTY to undeceive them. In her " most gra cious answer" she thanks them for the sympathy, concurs in their gratitude to GOD for national mercies, but promises them no " urgent busi ness." Not a word is there on the subject There is, however, a sly word on another sub ject ; her MAJESTY prays for the Divine blessing on their zealous endeavours to increme the effici ency of the Church, and to extend its "ministra tions." Let the Rev. Ecclesiastics but attend diligently to their parish duties, let them preach in their pulpits, also in the market places, and in Exeter Hall if they like ; let them work in their respective spheres and not talk in the Jerusalem Chamber, and good will come of it. She and her faithful Commons can attend to all other maters. rçiti Li 141. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. The elections for the department.; have been very favourable b the Government. Only three Opposition candidates are yet known to have been elected ; namely, Dr: i Henon for Lyons, Curd for , Bordeaux, and Porion for Amiens. Montalembert has been defeated in the department of the Doubs. A private despatch from Lille, just received, an nounces a majority of 7,000 votes in favour of the Opposition candidate (Jules Braun) in that city. The following returns have been received : Lisieux.—M. AmedOe Rene, Government can didate, was returned by a majority of 13,000 votes, out of 17,000 voters. Marseilles.—Edmond Canaple, Government can didate. Rigaud, Government clndidate. Doubs.—The Duke of Corregliano against the Count de Montalembert. Gironde. —M. Arman against M. David. Somme.—All the Government candidates, except M. Delamarre. Tarn-et-Garonne.—M. Belmon tel. Rhone.—All the Government candidates, except M. Cabias. Hautes-Pyrenees.—M. Achille Jubinal. Gers.—Grauier de Cassagnac. Loiret.—Duke de Tarente and Nogent Saint- Lauren s. The Pays, Ministerial journal, says that the re sult of the elections surpasses all the hopes of the friends of the Empire. Out of 290 electiens known at present in Paris the united Opposition have not returned more thati six or eight of their candidates, including those in Paris. The Pays adds, that even in Path the elections have a particular signification. The real contest was in the third circumscription, where all the Op position force was concentrated, and there General Cavaignac only polled 10,345 votes, 4,123 less than in the year 1852. The Moniteur publishes the result of the Paris elections. The numbers are, except one or two in significant variations in the unit figures, identical with those received by telegraph, which aKreared in The Sun yesterday. The Moniteur states, how ever, that in the third circumscription, where Gen. Cavaignac was at the head of the poll, having 10,345 votes against 10,108 for the Government candidate, M. Germain Thibaut ' • as well as in the fourth cir cumscription, where M. Varin, the Government candidate, obtained 9,633 votes, his opponents Emile ivier and Garnier Pages getting, tne former 6,741 votes, and the latter 2,749 ; and also in the seventh circumscription, where the numbers were for Lanquetin, the Government candidate, 10,609 ; for Darimon (of La Presse), 6,826 ; andfor Bastide, the well-known writer on political economy 3,647—an absolute majority of the whole number of registered electors has not been obtained, and a second election for those circumscriptions will therefore take place. The whole number upon the register iu the third circumscription is 34,863 ; in the fourth circumscription it is 35,385 ; and in the seventh circumscription it is 36,249. The Imperial exequatur has been granted to the Chevalier Strambio, as Consul-General for Sar dinia at Lyons ; to M, Kerros, Consul for Portugal, at Brest ; and to M. Bremer, as Consul for the same power at Cette. The :Nord of Brussels says that there is seriously question of a new visit to be paid by the Emperor and Empress to the Queen of England, and that one of the objects of the recent visit of the Minister of State to England was to settle the details. The same journal says that an interview between the Emperor of Ru=sia and the Emperor of the French is considered probable in official circles. The .Moniteur contains a decree founded on a very eulogistic report from Admiral Hamelin, Minis ter of Marine, promoting to the rank of Capitaine de Fregate Limit. de Lavaissiere de Lavergne, who commanded the Duroc steamer at the time she was wrecked, and wbo was a few days ago honourably acquitted for the loss of that vessel. Other decrees nominate five of the officers and warrant officers of that vessel to be knights in the Legion of Honour, and confer the military medal on nine others of her crew. BOURSE, June 23.—The result of the elections in the department of the Seine not having been as satisfactory as had been anticipated, a check was given to spelulation for a rise ; but prices again rallied, as it was announced that the Government had received information on the elections of the de partments, where only nine members of the oppo sition had been returned. Threes declined from 68fr. 550. to 68f. 40c., and rallied to 68fr. 60c. ; Mobilier varied from 1,170 to 1,1601 r. ; Austrian, 650 to 647 fr. 50e. ; Lyons, 1,495 to 1,490 fr. Northern, 982 50 to 980 fr. ; Orleans, 1,480 to 1,475 fr. ; and Southern, 772 50 to 770 fr. SWEDEN. A letter from Stockholm of the 16th says : "The King an 'l the Royal family were to have left to-morrow for the chateau of Drottingholm to pass the summer, but the official journal, the Posttidning, of this day announces that his Majesty having had a new attack of fever, the departure has been ad journed. The fact has caused a painful impres sion amongst the public, for it was supposed that the King had entirely recovered from his recent indiposition, and it will deprive the fetes which are to take place in honour of the mar riage of Prince Oscar of much of their eclat. In the Diet, the debates on tho railway bill pre sented by the Government have been brought to a close, and the bill has been greatly modified ; thus, for example, it has,been decided that no general system of railways shall be adopted, and that the Northern and North Western lines shall be re jected ; the Southern line has been sanctioned, but the credits demanded for it have been largely re duced, and some of theta even altogether rejected ; no definitive decision on the Western lino, or on the amount of the loan to be raised for the execu tion of the railways has yet been come to." • "It is stated," says a letter from St. Peters burgh, "that immediately after the grand ma nceuvres of the guard near Krasn.oje-Selo detach ments from all the corps will be set to work , making earthworks fur the railways. An imperial ukase suppresses the military colonies of Novogorod, Molilew, anti Vitepsk, subjects the colonists to the regulations fixed for the orcupan ts of State property, declares the lands, meadows, and woods of these colonies to belong to the State, and appropriates their revenues, first to the cost of adnfinistra tion, and next to the treasury. This decision is, in fact, a step towards the suppression of all the military colonies." PARLIAMENTA R Y DI VISIONS. HOUSE OF LORDS.-JUNE DIVORCE AND MA.TIIIIIONIAL CAUSES BILL.

ARRIVAL OP THE DUKE AND DUCHESS DE MONTPENSIER. PLYMOUTH, Tuesday Evening.—The Spanish frigate, Isabel La Catholique, Brigadier Eugenio Salesdo, 43 hours from Gijon, arrived in the Sound this afternoon. Port• Admiral Reynolds, in his barge, having boarded the frigate, received the Duke and Duchess de Mont pensier and the four Princes, under a salute from the ,citadel, and proceeded to the Royal William Victualling yard, where they were met by Major-General Elen, commander in the %Vest of England, and a guard of honour composed of Royal Marine Artillery. The Duke and Duchess, with their family and suite, went immediately to the Royal Hotel, Plymouth, where they will probably remain until Friday. The frigate is appointed to leave the Sound at four o'clock to-morrow for Southampton. Her Majesty the Queen has signified her gracious in tention of honouring with her presence a ball to he given by the Countess.Bernstorff, at Prus3ia House, on Mon day, the 6th of July. The Prince Frederick William of Prussia and the. Princess Royal will accompany her Majesty to the fet3, which it is understood is given in honour of the ap proaching marriage of the illustrious Prince and Princess. His Royal Highness Prince Frederick William of Prussia honoured the Prussian Minister and the Coun tess B3rnstorff with hie presence last evening, at Prue tie. House. Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton entertained at dinner llst evening, the Duke and Duchess of Manchester, the Duke of Buckingham and Ciiandos, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Countess of Tankerville, the Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, and Lady Evelyn Stanhope, the Earl of Malmesbury, the Earl of Ellenborough, Lord and Lady Manners, Lord and Lady Colchester, the Dowager Lady Cowley, and Mr. Lytton. RAILWAY AND JOINT STOOK COMPANIES BILLS IN PARLIAMENT.—The preamble of the East Kent, Strood, and St. Mary's Cray Bill was declared on Monday not proved, and the bill was consequently thrown out.—Tne preamble of a bill for a railway from the junction of the North Kent and Greenwich lines to Dartford, and to improve the Tonbridge Wells branch, was passed.—Tne Stockport, Disley, and Whaley Bridge Bill was passed. The Lancaster and Carlisle Bill, empowering the com pany to construct a rail from its own line near Kendal to Singleton, and to raise 300,0001. by shares, and bor row 100,0001., was passed. The preamble of the Great Southern and Western was declared proved; and the preamble of the Midland Great Western Company's Bill partly proved, BO far as regards the line from Streams town to Clara. /10No-KONG.—Soma correspondence between Sir J. Thwring and the Home Government has been pub• fished. It rAurs to an application made by Sir John in Jan. last, for a grant of 10,000/7 to provide for the ex pense entailed upon the colony by the measures of defence required by the crisis in China, and in March his Excel lency solicited a further grant of 10,000/. to meet the " extraordinary expenses of the colony. Toe Government acceded to the first grant of 10,0001. (for Hongkong), but declined to comply with the second application (for an other 10,0000 without some me re satis factory explanation of the precise objects to which it was proposed that this fu:ther aid should be appli e d. Sir John Bowriug was at the same time (the 9th of May) ordered "to bear steadily in mind that any grant of money made to Hong Kong on grounds arising out of the present hostilities with China must be exclusively applied to that service, and on no account diverted to colonial objects of an or dinary character." TIIE COMET. -Our letters from Malta mention that at a few minutes after 5 p.m. on Sunday, the 14th of June, a bright luminous band of variegated pure was observed to shoot across the heavens in a direction fr - om east to west, remaining visible merely for a few minutes. The wind at the time blew fresh from the W.N.W., and although the sky was serene, the sea was rather agitated ; the barometer, at the level of the sea, marked 20'87, and the thermometer stood at 70 degs Unusually cool weather prevailed, especially to wards sunset and throughout the night. Many consider this t) have been the predicted comet, for averting the consequences of a crash by a colli sion of our earth with which, prayers had bean publicly offered by the devout in the Roman Catholic churches of the island on the nights of the 12th and 13th of June, Many timid old women had not had a wink of sleep for several nights preceding the 13th, being unwilling to be caught napping during the anticipated rash. _ _ _ THE WIFE MURDER AT STAFFORD. —Yesterday Mr. C. C. Lewis, the coroner for Essex, held an inquest at the Cart and Horse public house, Stratford, on view of the body of Mary Crawley, aged 62, who was murdered by her husband, Michel Crawley, some particulars of which appeared in this journal yesterday. The body of the deceased presented a very shocking apperance. The top of the head was literally beaten in, while on different parts of her body, arms, and legs were fracture, and the floor, wallP, and c il•ng of the room were bespat tered with blood. The fury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Michael Crawley, the husband of the deceased, who was then committed for trial. THE CASE OF CARD-SHARPING ON THE WINDSOR RAIL WAY.—The prisoner in the case of card-sharping, an ac count of which appeared in The Sun of Friday. was brought before the Windsor magistrates yesterday. It will be recollected that the victims were two foreign gen tlemen, whom the victimisers, three in number, joined in a first-class carriage on the Windsor railway. The fo reigners were induced to play at cards, and after leaving the train found that their pockets had been picked, one having lost bank notes to the amount of 501., the other to that of 301. One of " the three" was afterwards ap prehended at Hampton raceF. The magistrates sentenced the prisoner to three months' hard labour. Notice of appeal to the quarter sessions was given, and bail was accepted by the bench. The prisoner, upon being taken into custody refused his name, but afterwards said it was Joseph Gilbert. • - PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mille premium, and the short exchange on London is 25.25 per 1/. sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d, per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about I.loth per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4231 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.4 per 11. sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore about I.loth per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1091 per cfnt. which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is slightly in favour of England ; and, after [baking allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the pre• sent rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 24. The screw steamship City of Washington has arrived with advices from New York to the 11th inst. She has brought 112,664 dollars specie on freight. On the 14th inst., lat. 41 N., long. 56, the inizen masthead was struck by lightning, carrying away part of the mast. Tile United States' mail steamship Ericsson had arrived at New York. A despatch from New Orleans reports the open ing of the Tehuantepoc route, vessels having com menced'arriving at Ventosa Bay. Advices from Vera Cruz state that extensive operations were in progress there to oppose an in vasion by Spanish troops. The New York money-market did not appear to be affected by the withdrawal of the specie per Arabia, the supply continuing liberal and fully adequate to the limited demand. There was more commercial paper offering than a week previ ous l y . Foreign exchange close firm, but not very active. The average rate for bankers' bills on London was 1098. Stocks exhibited a better feeling, but prices continued weak and low. Railway bonds were again heavy. Cotton continued inactive. Flour was heavy, with holders rather pressing sales. The receipts were light. Wheat was unsettled. Corn was dull.

The official statement of the result of the Paris Elections has not yet reached us. For the exact -rt,e ,uracy of the statement which appeared in the treater part of our yesterday's impression we of course curnot vouch. It professes to be no more than a hastily formed estimate. rapidly made and tiurriedly collected. The sources whence it his been obtained, however, are such as to warrant our con fidence that it will be found to be a pretty close approximation to the truth. Let us, therefore, examine what isthe nature of the first decided symptom of the recovery of the national mind of France from the state of suspended animation into which it was cast by the Coup d'Etat. • The Circular of the Minister of the Interior esti mates the numb?r of Registered Electors within the ten Electoral Circumscriptions of Paris, as high as 350,000. According to the Returns of our Cor respondent 206,724 of the , :e have recorded their votes at the late Election, leaving 143,276 electors who have abstained from voting. Of the electors who have deposited their votes in the ballot-boxes 110,525 appear to have voted for Government can didates, and 96,199 for the candidates of the Op position. This is a very remarkable exposition of the state of political feeling and opinion in the Capital of France. There can be no doubt that the most strenuous exertions were made by the agents of Government t 3 induce the electors to come for w#rd in support of its candidates. The appeal in the Emperor's Address, at the close of the session, to the working classes in particular, was a not very editable provocation to class prejudices ; and the circulars, accompanied by bulletins of the Govern ment candidates, sent on Monday morning to every elector who had not voted on Monday, were an unequivocal threat of proscription. Again, the greatest difficulties were thrown in the way of the Opposition candidates. The intolerable treatment experienced by the friends and agents of M. F. de Lasteyrie, described by our correspondent, ma y be taken as a fair sample of the excesses in which the lower class of Government agents' have indulged. Yet this unscrupulous conduct on the part •of the Parisian authorities has barely succeeded in hounding 110,525 voters for the Government—less than o ne-t h i rd. f the Regis tered Electors of Paris—to the ballot boxes. Al' though an unequivocal declaration had gone forth that Government would hold all the electors who did not declare for it to be against it, 143,276 stood sullenly aloof, and 96,199 recorded their votes against Government. In other words, more than two-thirds of the electors of Paris-239,475—have demanded the reality of Parliamentary Govern-. ment ; and of that number 96,199 have declared their preference for Opposition candidates. This is a courageous, yet temperate and legal ex pression of public opinion which the Emperor can not afford to disregard. So far as the numbers who have voted for the -different candidates enable us to conjecture, it would appear that a majority of the Opposition voters is composed of the Political Republicans. Among those who have alotained from voting, the Monarchists and the Socialist Re publicans may be inferred to have preponderated. Yet these two classes are precisely those whose hos- tility to the reigning dynasty might have been ex pected to be least irreconci!eable. Many of the Monarchists are devoted rather to the principle of Monarchy than to any individual House or Mo narch ; many of the Socialists regard political forma as of comparatively secondary importance ; yet both of these practicable classes stand obstinately aloof from the existing Government, declaring that they will not condescend to take part in sham elec tions ; while the Political Republicans brave the anger of Government by recording their votes for the men whom it most deeply bates and fears. The Emperor is too clear-sighted a man not to perceive that a national feeling so deeply-rooted, s° fearlessly expressed, cannot be resisted. Unless his resuscitated dynasty is to be a mere ephemeral shadow, he must make up his mind to devise som e means of engrafting a really elective Legislature on his Imperial system. It may, or it may Lo t be too late for this. It is clear that more than two thirds of Electors of the metropolis are hostile to an irresponsible despotism ; and it is equally clear that the distrust of his sincerity engendered by the Coq' d' Etat has placed him in a state of moral isolation from all the elements out of which a constitutional Government party and a constitutional Opposition might have been formed. But if the Emperor can not make the Corps Legislatif really a free e xpres' sion of public opinion, he will be left without all safety-valve to carry off popular discontent, without any index to show when danger is at hand. Ije can at no moment feel secure from the sudden explosion, which may shatter to fragments the frail edifice of the Imperial Constitution, True, many of the industrious peace-loving citizens of France are disposed to acquiesce in his despotism, so long as it can ensure tranquillity - but so sbon as it shall appear that it inadequate to this purpose, so soon will their qualified adhesion be withdrawn. The Empire is not the only organisation to which they look for the discharge of the functions of Govern ment. That assembly, which on the day of the Co /hp d'Etat, adjourned under protest, is still in exist ence, and may even, after a long interval, resume its authori'y, as was the case in the seventeenth century with the " Rump" of the Long Parliament of England. (From the Morning Advertiser.) The result of the elections in Paris will, every' where on the Continent, revive the drooping spirits of the friends of freedom. Three Republicans, the proved friends of enlightened liberty, have bol l triumphantly returned for that city. Cavaigilae/ e Carnot, and Goudchaux are the representatives et three of the most important of the ten circumsnriP i : tions, or electoral districts, into which the Frown. capital is divided. And even in . several of the other districts the Bonapartist candidates only sue" ceeded by narrow majorities. In three case , these majorities not being absolute, that is, nut greater than the conjoint votes of the other V ° opposing candidates, there must be new cieT tions. These will take place on Sunday nal when, it is to be hoped, the public spirit an patriotism of Paris, being quickened into 3 7 , 0 . : greater vitality and effort by the triurnPn' achieved on Monday, will defeat the nominees e r automatons put forward by the Napoleonist Go vernment. Most heartily do we congratulate France on the public spirit thus displayed by the people of Paris) amidst circumstances of the most discouraging kind; If any one could have doubted before, the fitness 01 France for the freedom which representative tutions give, no one can have doubts on the sub ject now. The triumphant return of three such men as Cavaignac, Carnot, and Goudchaux, must have produced profound consternation in the Tuileries. Such a result of the appeal to the ballot-urn must have made the stout heart . of the Imperial despot tremble, and caused an un earthly paleneness to whiten bis dark and sinister countenance. In the events of Monday he most have seen the hand-writing on the wall which re cords the impending doom of a dynasty founded in petj cry and blood—in the violation of solemn' oaths taken to defend, if necessary, even with b 1 life, the Republic which gave him a political ot" istence—and in the remorseless butchery of human beings, to an extent which extorted tears froul Humanity in all parts of the world, and filled ever! part of Paris with lamentation and woe. From this hour we may confidently look for lin' portant events in France. The tide of Impow alism having reached its height will ebb Wit with a rapidity far surpassing that with which " flowed. The grand Bonapartist inflation may 130 expected every day to burst. A crisis cannot I 3 remote. It is at the door. In what form it 'WW come, or what consequences may ensue, are points on which we have no disposition to speculate . Suffice it to say, that though a fearful conjuncture may impend, and though France may have to pas s through scenes bf suffering and of sorrow which .P , .; is distressing to contemplate, before she has got rid' of her Imperial oppressors, and regained her rig!i and liberties—yet brighter and better days are ILI store for her.
