After which will be produced an entirely New Billet, in Two Tableaux, composed expressly for her Majesty's Theatre by M. Massot, entitled Ask half the House of Commons and you will be told that PROTECTION was buried for ever in 1852, and Free Frade firmly seated on its throne. It may have been so to the vulgar view. Pro tection, of course, meant merely duties levied in favour of English produce,- and exemptions of all kind for E4glish, compared with Foreign trade. It meant only this, of course, in the mouths of Free- Trade-Hall orators; and when Lord DERBY went out in 1852, they threw up their cap 4, and shouted loud and long—" Great is Free Trade, the Goddess of Manchester." The Goddess to be sure has turned out somewhat capricious in her dealings with the city of her worshippers ; she gave them corn cheap enough at first ; she encouraged them to spin and weave with ever increasing energy ; but their spinning and weaving soon raised the price of the raw material ; stimu lated by the great cotton spinning city, the LEGREE 3 flogged out of their uncle Toms, we were going to say, in Irish, more bags of cotton than they could grow, and the price advanced, till it would pay to fetch it from India and other quar ters. Meantime the manufactured cotton could not be advanced in proportion, the price of wheat also rose, and the faithful of Manchester began to waver in their worship of their goddtss ; they even invoked the aid of Government to grow them cotton in India. Free Trade could not be trusted to supply them with taw material, nor to open the paths of commerce to the Indian cotton districts ; and from the lips of Free-trade wor shippers the cry was again heard—" Oh, Govern ment, hear us !" inaugurate the admirable project by sending a personal subscription of 10/. towards its object, but also by using her best exertions t , ) obt tin subscriptions among her lady friends, who feel justly indignant at the cruel and unjust laws that have hitherto prevailed, and the puerile and inadequate attempt that has been made for their reform. Under such auspices, and with the co-operation of females of all classes in society; for, alas where is thare a class in whiCh unfor tunate wives cannot be discovered?—there can be no doubt that the result would be worthy of the purpose for which it is designed; and that it would greatly conduce towards obtaining the equal and impartial justice for the gentle sex, to which they are so eminently entitled. Tt is nut only the ill-treated and unhappy that would assist. Even those whose lots have been un clouded by affliction, who enjoy the unbounded felicity of possessing truly worthy and blameless husbands, must commiserate the misery of their less fortunate sisters—must desire to see their wretched conditions ameliorated, and that there should be that full and equal justice to all, with out distinction of sex, that perfect reciprocity, without which there can be no equality or mutual confidence. Woman was made, not merely to be the slave or the upper servant of man, but his helpmate and choicest blessing, one to participate in his griefs, to soothe his sorrows, to elevate his thoughts, and stimulate to, and encourage him in the - straight and narrow path of self-sacrificing exertion. She is ready to aid and assist in every good. work, to submit patiently to trials and privations, that test the fortitude of the sterner sex. Pl-tee her in her proper position, let her feel and know that she is to take her part in " the battle of life," and no asperities will deter her. The most rugged path will be cheerfully traversed, and every obstacle will be surmounted or smoothed down ! Away with the ridiculous assertion that the sanctity of the do mestic hearth—the permanence of that felicity—. the greatest known in this world —could be for a moment endangered by making woman what she ought to be, the partner, not the dependent, ou her husband. For our part we never could limit our notion of Free-trade to cotton and corn. With us ii has always meant the spontaneous energy of men for ail creative projects. We have looked rather at limiting the functions of Government, and pre venting its intermeddling with everything which wanted to be done, merely to save the indolence of individuals on the one hand, and to enlarge the sphere of bureaucracy and jobbing on the other. Let Government protect life and property from domestic or external fraud and violence; and let individuals and combinations of individuals supply their own wants by their own exertions. That is Free Trade. If Manchester wants Indian cotton, let Man chester grow and clean cotton there, and provide the means to convey it to the coast. Indigo growers have managed to take English capital to India, and to make handsome fortunes by getting the article fit for the home market ; what hinders Manchester from cleating a new race of cotton growers, or rather of cotton cleaners and car riers ? One individual, we are informed, has already made a splendid thing of it, not by growing cotton himself, but by buying it up undressed, husks and all, from the natives; dressing and cleaning it at a mill of his own erec tion, and getting it to the coast as best he could. The natives will readily grow the cotton if they can readily sell it, but they have not the capital, nor the machinery to fit it for the Manchester market. Manchester has really nothing to do but to send out persons qualified to make full use of the powers of Whitney's Gin, and the natives will furnish them with more undressed raw cotton than they could use. But railways are wanted—well, the Govern-- mut of India is doing its beat to create them. One thing it cannot do ; it cannot burrow through the Ohauts between Bombay and the vast cotton district beyond, in less than two or three years. But, we ask, how can it well be recon ciled with Free-trade principles, that Government should guarantee a railway company against loss ? The only answer, and it is a very imperfect one, is, that Government wants the road for general purposes, and thinks a guarantee the cheapest way of constructing it ; further, that the Indian Government is a pure despotism, and can hardly be rendered fully amenable to the laws of Free- No right-minded man can hesitate for a moment. He will think of the revered mo her who first taught him to bend his infant knee to the DEITY, to list in broken accents the praises of THE MOST HIGR, and to put forward his bumble petitions for protection and comfort in his daily trial. He will remember the gentle sisters who soothed his sorrows, and took his part when all looked dark, and his boyhood's hope was sbaded. Above and beyond a►l, he will reflect on the gentle girl who taught him that he possessed a heart, and that all the world contained was as nothing compared to her love, and whose plighted faith was regarded as the I gilt of his existence. Nor can he forget the daughters, who are destined to fill the most important parts in the social drama—to become the future wives and mothers of England. We pity, we can scarcely refrain from despising, him who has no such recollections to fall back on, and influence him in his course. He must be either truly unfortunate, or very unworthy; if, when properly appealed to, he cannot find something to enlist him in tha good cause. The wrongs of females are, unfortunately, patent and notorious. They relate to their persons, their properties, their ch , Hren ! If one is injured in the tenderest point, even to an extent that would render it impossible to con done the offence, or again take back the criminal to her bosom, she may be allowed to separate, but not to obtain another chance of happiness. " It is not good for man to be alone !" But it trade. If, however, we quit Manchester and purely commercial matters, the principle of Free-trade— spontaneous energy, as distinguished from reliance on governmental, or other extraneous help or pro tection—is distrusted by large numbers of persons who, nevertheless, think themselves quite en lightened enough . on such matters. Take the Medical profession ; look at the bills now before Parliament ; first, Lord ELcno's struggles hard with Mr. HEADLAM'S, not on the general obj,:cts to be obtained ; both agree in them, but whether antiquated corporations shall remain masters of the medical examinations, and hold the keys of the gates to the profession, or whether a new and efficient Board shall be entrusted with the weighty charge. To that extent Freedom and Privilege are iu conflict as the battle is now waged. But, secondly, both Lord ELCHO and Mr. HEADLAX are unaware of the Free Trade principle as ap plied to medicine. Free Trade and examinations are, we confess, quite consistent ; but the exami nations ought to be optional. If of value, their worth would be known ; the public would resort to those who enjoyed the different grades of dip lonia, if worthy.of preference, and quackery would find its level by its own incompetency. The Free Trade principle would be, therefore, to estab lish examinations, and to leave the public to find out what they were wort`t. The University of Oxford, by its proposed examinations for middle class schools, is setting an admirable example of what we mean. Make the examinations thorough, and they would be highly valued. We need hardly say how the opposite principle to Free Trade impregnates and poisons our whole political system. At this day, five and twen►y years after the Reform Bill, the House of Com mons, at the bidding of the " Tory Chief of a Radical Cabinet"—Blass us what Radicals ! refuses to abolish the property qualification for Members of Parliament Protection for native landlords is still demanded. The lords of the clodhoppers cannot rely on their own intelligence is a thousani times worse for woman to remain solitary— " Man's love is of man's life a thing apart, 'Tis woman's whole existence." He has a thousand matters to distract attention to enable him to bear his misery, but there is no alleviation to her misfortune. She pines in hope less misery, without the prospect of better times and yet, while every facility is to be afforded to the injured husband, all redress is denied to the injured wife 1 Is this fair ? Is it manly or straightforward ? What right-minded man can lay his hand on his heart and conscientiously re .4pond in the affirmative to these interrogatories ? And yet it is a portion of the stunted measure now before the Legislature, that, with but few and rare exceptions, so monstrous in their very con ception as to practically render the rule universal, woman shall obtain no redress, while, by a refine ment of insult, we find Right Reverend Prelates and others endeavouring to prevent the guilty party, i.e., the woman--for to teem, if innocent, they do not afford relief —contracting another and a happier marriage. To the Man they allow zlie w dent possible latitude, but give nothing to the woman, whether innocent or guilty. She is still, by a refinement of Mezentian cruelty, chained to the dry and sapless corpse, and, as Lord BROUGHAM explained, left " not altogether free, nor altogether fettered." Part of her chain was removed, but some heirs were left clanking round therags to which they were pleased to reduce her. She was not to marry again. She was reduced to the horrible alternative of prostitution or want —of sinning or starving, of the streets or the work house 1" And this is the boasted refinement of England in the latter part of the 19th century— the chivalrous treatment which the fair sex is to receive from the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in the year 1857 1 As to her property, she is, if possible, more an airly treated. Her separate existence is, in the large majority of cases, merged in that of her hus band. The provision which the anxious solicitude of a loving father laid by for her security from want, may be squandered by the prodigality of a worthless husband, or seiz on by his creditors ! and energy to keep the upper hand in the House of Commons ; they must still have a protective law, and Free Traders are found voting by the score for political protection of landlordism ! As to the other professions it is very much the same. In the law it is, perhaps, most excuseable; yet it fails of its avowedobject. In the army, the Horse Guards compass the protection of wealth and Even though it should be tied up by pre -nuptial settlement?, and freed from the debts, control, and interference of the husband, the moment it is reduced into possession it can be seized, whe- Cher in the shape of money or goods, unless every article purchased be vested in Trustees. And even the earnings of the wife, what she has obtained by her own labour may be taken away to be spent in dissipation, While hers elf and children are enduring the most bitter privations ! ' aristocracy against merit in the rank., by regu lations and a policy we need not particularise— it is needless to mention with what results. The Crimean winter is too fresh in all our memories. In the Church all is of course protection thrice protected. There, most truly, the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Voluta- Again, even the innocent wife is deprived of her children. The guilty husband can take them away, so that she is deptived of the only possible comfort in her miserable lot. The whole aw of husband and wife needs revision. Let the women of England exert themselves, and justice wid be done. It only wants a struggle, and ad that can be asked for will he achieved. It will be seen that "a Lady of Title " has followed in taryism is the word of most hateful omen. Creeds, oaths, subscriptions, formulaq, universities, pa tronage, privileges, and penalties, protect up to the neck the Ecclesiastical System of England. To hen Ecclesiastics talk, one wuuld suppose that the salvation of the Church depeuded ou iti sevenfold protections, and the salvation of the nation on the Church. Laymen, however, are begiuniug to doubt both. Our STANLEYS bodily tell us that our sops will be. Voluntaries; and our own eyes and our census 'tell us tbitt- 4ithout'olie 'penny worth of protection, the Voluntaries—the Free traders in religion—have half the sanctuaries and half the worshippers of the country. DOUGLAS— JRRROLD'S FUNERAL. This afternoon the mortal remains of the late Douglas Jerrold, Esq., were consigned to their last resting place in Norwood Cemetery. The funeral cortege arrived shortly after 2 o'clock. It consisted simply of a hearse and three or four mourning coaches containing the re:wives and friends of the deceased. On the b..dy being taken from the hearse it was met by a very l..rge assemblage of literary friends of the deceas-d, and by th m ac.zoinpanied to the beaut.ful chap 1 attached to the ceme ety. The serviim appouved by ihe for the burial of the dead hiving ben , ead, the ho iy was conveyed f. om the chapel to the grave, into which it was 1 .wei e.l in the presence of a very 1 roe con course of sorrow:ng friends. The fo lowing genial tribute to p , or Jerrold is taken flow the Sunday Times of yesterday : Aimmg-t those rarg , -brained and sioew a -shouldered men, who have endeavour d hone fly and hopefully to help the world onwaru, the familiar form teat I •hall never more encounter at the corner of the kerb, or by chance-medley brush coats with in an omnibus —the stauuch-hearted, keen-witted D .uglas Jerrold—will ever hold.a prominent ilAce. Many au eye that never identi fied the figure with that of the most epigrammatic talker and writer of his age, must have no ticed occasionally amidst the throng, hurrying between TainFle-bar a..d Waterloo-bridge, a pas senger of short stature, with a sharp thin face, pale and thought-worn, wriose light blue eyes glanced keenly aside as he walked along, with a quick eager step, dis couraging interruption, and whose long whitish hair fell over the collar of his truck coat, which revealed the cus tomary eye-gift-is dangling from his neck. When that figure met my gaze it wad not as the fao,ous dramatist, essayist, and journalist, that merely regarded hun ; nor as the brilliant wit whose sparkling repartee- , , bitter as some of them were, yet served as wholesome tonics to the social system. To toy mind, he was ever the in, ar nation of hope fo r an y literary aTirant who was seeking, however hernial, to follow the devious track of the eatue professi , in. 'nifty years ago, when a young ardent writer of 26, Jerrold was still, though comparatively unknown, and certainly unappreciated, pouring forth his treasury of thoughts • before a public that scarcely rec , gn ised amongst them the currency of the true merit of genius. Ae a hack-dramatist, knocking off novelties fur te C burg, he rate of One a fortnig;it—as, even then, a jourualist, pioneering the path of progress, and teaching the people that the true source of power was the awakening of their own self-respect —as song-writer, pantomime-concuetur, and advertisement-erubelsher, for to all there phases of minor authorcraft did Its potent pen reauily lend itself in these early days, the Jerroldian image ever seemed to me the encouraging embodiment of the worth of patience and perseverance, and Whose oracular response to the inquiry of the literary student, would be, "Learn to labour and to wait." Toe world will corns at last to know its benefactors, and in the meantime let it roll round till tby time coweth. Also from the Sunday Times we extract the three following del.ghtful witticisms—thoroughly Jer ruldiau ‘• He asked me one day in the green-room of the Hay market, what could be Juhu Oxeuford's =Give in trans lacing Tartuffe,' when there already existed au English version or the play (meaning 'Toe Hypocrite') with which the English pu die were very well satisfied. I told him I supposed the piece had been 'done to order.' " • Ye4,' he said, 'that must be it; and I bays no doubt but that will be dune to a good many orders.' "S ying numbc..r two was uttered in the same green room in my nearibg. "A specimen of the genus 'swell' entered the room, and introduced himself to Jerrold. His ellMie for that nb.erty was mutual acquaintance with an actress more reinarsabie for her beauty and tahnts than tor—wel , than tor other recommendations. " Tne aw 11 said, • I belive you know a very particu lar friend of gime, Mrs. —l' *" I have net witri an actress of that name,' Jerrold replied. ' But ebe cannot be the very particular blend you allude " PArdun we, it is the same person.' " Pardon we, the lady I speak ut is not very par. titular,' " One more specimen and I have done. Jerroli was an ex,:essively nervous man, and os the first repro muta tion of any of his pieces suttered iudescribable torments. A brother drawatist—reinarkable for his s ccessful spe cimens of fair adap , ation or imitation' from the Frei,ch —on one such occasion sought to rslly the trembling scribe, by stating that be biloself never felt any nervou— nese on the first production of his own pieces. Oa, my boy,' sat-I Douglas, but then you are always so sure of success. Your pieces have all been tried be fore.' - ARRIVAL OF THE ARCHDUKE MAXI MILIAA 01? A IiTRIA. • POttrSSIOUTH, JUNE 14.

THE CHEAP PRESS.—The Yarmouth Standard, a cheap weekly conservative paper, wnich crept into exis ttice a few weeks since, has come to a p remature end, as the propriet ors have found it to be "not sufficiently remunerative." The Norttich Weekly Express one of the same class of journals, well with a similar tate after a few months existence. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S INN-ROAD.—The number of patients relieved in this hospice, during the week ending June 13, 1857, is 2,223, of which 7U4 were new eases. • THe CoMET.—Some of the wise ones of a continental city no ice that the Man in the Moon has already flat tened and 'marched his nose considerably by corning in c intact with the cornet, while swinging round our earth, which circumstance rrefragably proves tnat the fiery masa must a'rearly be near es.

THE EXETER-HALL SERMONS.—Last night the Hall was crowded to excess. There were, it is true, many persons in the audience who could not fairly be reckoned amongst the " working classes ;" but there were, at the same time, very many who were undoubtedly genuine working men, in their "Sunday clothes." The hymns and the Litany were joined in with an unanimity and an effect which must be witnessed to be fairly conceived The sermo n was delivered by the Rev. John Cole Miller, D:D., rector of St. Martin's, Birmingham, and honorary canon of Worcester, who selected for his text the in quiry which Nicodetnus put to our beloved Savour, " How.can these things be ?" On this passage the rev. gentleman founded the best discourse of the series— decidedly the most earnest, evangelical, eloquent, and awakening sermon to which we have listened for many a day. It combined the fervour and eloquence of our most PopUlar orators with that dignity of manner which might tie expected from a gentleman of his status in the Ctiyecti of England. There wa- the greatest amount of earnestnetes and yet no intemperance, either in tone or language. The HO was c mpletely fiill, and amongst the noblemen and ceutlemen upon the platform we ob served the Right Hon. the Earl of Seaftesbury, the Right Hon. the Earl of Harrowbv, Mr R. Hanhury, tVI-P..

The great success that has attended the revival of " Dun Giovanni" is a convincing proof that the taste f,,r that classical tnuaic which the ;aunt cultivated Per: suns have for years been accuat need to regard with veneration is by no mans on the dec!ine. Broad as the popularity ot the modern Italian school maybe, the name of Mozsrt still serves as a rallying point for a vast tnultitude, the existence of which is scarcely suspected still it is visibly demonstrated, and the announcement of " Don Giovanni" will draw to an opera-house hundreds who would never be moved from their homes by the allurements of Verdi, or even of 13,11!nt. On Saturday night this great work was per formed, for the second time, before a broliant and numeroes audience, among whom the Prince of Wales and Prince Aitred were conspicuous, and it is to be repeated every evening this week. Of the ar ists employed in the execution of the work nearly every one nas made au advance in reputation by the suec accatnOshinent of a new and arduous task. That the &rhea of Atl.detnoiselle Piccoloinini would be a most fascinating performance everyu 'dy expected, nut such a pertect stamp of originality as the young vocalist has impressed upon the rustic clausal of Seville could scarcely have been anticipated. Signor Giuglini is, of course, welcome as Don Ottavio, especially as he brings a new song with him ; and Lepo rello is sung with con ,, cientious correctness by that steadiest of artiste, Signor Bellatti ; but the artist who, on tne whole, has caused the greatest wonder is Signor Bineventano, who impersonates Don Giovanni himself. Oue of the greate.t fe ttures in the performance the chorus Viva la liberta. That this way be ex ,cuted with all eflneucy Ar. Quarles Brabant, Herr Reichardt, Madewoi,elle Faz , o, bladetnoiselle Puma, and toe principal vocalists are engaged upon it, and the ar rangement of the groups, renders it as striking to the eye as it is unpreo.siv., to the ear. This piece has be come an established encore. EARTHQUAKE IN SAXONT.—The whole of the king dom of Saxony and must of the Sax ,n Principalities were visited last Sunday by a shock of an earth quake, about three o'clock in the afternoon, pa-sing from south to north, with a slight variatiowtowaids the east. The shook lasted several sec.inds, the baro meter sank 5 degrees, the walls of houses trembled, and . the gias-es and other vessels r..ttled in the closet-; the trembling of the earth was of such extent as to cause the inhabitants in many cases to 1-ave their houses, which was the less a bard-hip that the sky was perfectly clear and the weather very fine. THE RIFF PIRATZEI, —The following is a list of ships belonging t.i British subjects captured by the Riff pirates between 1846 and 1856, viz.: —The IRuth ' Captain Wm. Newnhain ; the Three S is t ers, Captain James Henry Forsier ; the Violet, Captain Thomas Layton ; the Vampire, Captain John sans ' • the Cuthbert Young, Captain John Mar s h a ll ; the Lively, Captain James Napier ; the Co, fereuce, Capt. Peter ; and the Hymen, Captain James Smith. The value of the Ruth and cargo was 1,970/. ; that of the Violet and cargo 3,400/. ; that of the Conference and cargo, 3,162/. ; and that of the Hymen and cargo, 3,651/. The other vessels are not valued. Only one, the Violet, was ransomed for 881 In the case of one, the Violet, 3001 was received a. , compensation from the English GuverLment, and in the case of the flywen 3,2781; was received from the Emperor of Mor cco. Four of the ships were recaptured. Thu above details are derived from a return to the Houze of Commons published on Saturday. WICK EIAIII3OIIR.—The Nurthem Insiyiz. in complain ing of the exposed state of the Harbour of Wick, says : —"During the approaching herring fishery season we shall have from 1,120 to 1,150 boats enga 6 ed in this perilous enterprise. They will be collected front various ' districts. Each lawful night 6,000 men will leave the shores of Wick on board of these boats, which, with the materials, may be estimated at 120 0001. Spending the night at sea, rowing, aid casting and hauling their nets, at distances varying from three to 30 mils, they return in the morning t..) tueir respective stations ; and when the tide is out it is nu nue nutuun thing to see 800 boats lying at anchor *item an area of 240 acre., with their precious freights, all at the mercy of the elements, isavtog out even a narrow sheltered creek to which 60 of them could fly in. the event of a storm at low water, or even a couple of hours thereafter," LATEST .NE WS. BELGIUM. The Moniteur Beige publishes a report to the King, dated Brussels, 'J une 12, upon the recent events, recommending his Majesty to close the Le gislative Session of 1856 1857. Such a measure, says the report, will suspend the discussion of the bill on charitable institutions, and adjour❑ it to next scion. The report is signed by all the Ministers. In reply thereto, the King has addressed the fol owing letter to the MiniSter of the Interior, which is printed likewise in the Moniteur with the Royal decree for the close of the Session : "June 13, 1857. "My deer Minister,—l have rec, ivtd h 1., port of the Cabinet ' dated yesterday, an d I h isieu to give it my f u ll approbation. In proposing the ad jiairnriient of the discussion, you take an ini. [Alva which circum t tuces point out to you, and which the country will underst " I takeadvailtage of this opportuni'y to address throug►, your ntediuni a few words Lo t►te couotry, whlch has given ale so mauy proofs of its atta.4l - "A long and animated discussion, followed by ine:dents which I deplore, has taken pla,:e in (he Chamber of Representatives on a bill preceuted by you. "For tl'e first time during 26 years that I hive devoted myseit to Belgium the Parliamen , ary de bates have given rise t 1 difficulties, the solution of which did not at cb.ce r,ved it4elf. " You have._ acted with the greatest loyalty and with the most perfect good faith. You are firmly convinced that the bill, if carried out, would not produce the bad consequences which : have been at tributed to it. I wilt not express an opinion upon the pr: , poed. hill. I should never have consent •d to a twit unto our legislaton a bill which might have had the sad con,equeuces which are feared ; low without entering into an examination of the bill itself, I must, take into a.xouut, like you, an impression wuich evinced itself on this occasion among a considerable portion of the population. Ti ere exist in countries which occupy themselves withth-ir affairs rapid and coutigious emotions which apread with an intensity more easily dis cerned di ,n explained, and with which it is more prudent to wake terms (transiger) than to reason. - "The free institutions of Belgium have been in pric-ice for 26 years with remarkable regularity. What is there requisite for them to con lone to function in future with the same order and the same success. " I do not hesitate to say that what is requisite, is mod-rat on and reserve of parties. I think we ought to aostain from agitating any queStiou of a ntture to excite discussion iu the public mind. I am convinced that Belgium may live happy and respected following the path of moderation ; but 1 am equally convinced, and I said it publicly that any measure which might be interpreted as tending to establi=iti the supremacy of one opinion over another is a danger. We are no.; wanting in liberty, and our Constitution, wisely and moderately practised, presents a happy balance. - "My sincere and profound attachment to the destinies ofthe country has given rise within me to these serious reflections. I communicAte them to the country, to yourself, to the majority of the na tional npreentation. "In the circumstances in which we are now placed the majority of tue Chamber, whose wishes, as a maj-rity, are and ought to be my guide, has a noble task to perform, a task worthy of a great party. "I . advise it to renounce, as you will propose it to do, the discussion of the Bill. It is fur the ma jority to undertake this generouS part. By taking it entirely upon itself it will give (he world a iiigl7 idea of its wisdom and its patriotism. It will Ina n t tin iu its ranks ihe close union which for ad par ties is the first fruit and the highest reward of a noble and good action perforoied in common. "Last ye it the country thanked me for my de votion ; to-day I 'ham( it fir its confidence. " This letter will probe to you how happy I am to share your views, how much I appreciate your co ud uct. " It is my wish to watch with you and your col leagues, over the interests of this beautitul and beloved country. " Believe, my dear Minister, in the affectionate feelings I entertain for you. ' ' LEOPOLD." FRANCE. PARIS, SATIIRDA.Y EVENING. The dissension among th 3 Democratic party on the choice of caudidAtes for Paris is as marktet as ever. The Siecle set out with declaring that the cause of liberty which it uas at heart would be seriously imperilled unless the fractures into which the Republicans are split agree to fold up their re spective flags —green, blue, red, crime en, or black, as the case may be—put them in their pockets for the moment, make mutual concessions, an.l become reconciled. It expressed its sadsfaction and pride at being able to point to the Journal des Debats, the organ of the Orleanist monarchy, making as it were common cause with it. C er t a i u ly nothing is more noble than the oblivion and pardon of In jury, nor more neautifol . than to see old enemies meeting fraternally, when the meeting is sincere. Unfortunately, this can hardly be the case in toe present instance ; few will believe that the Journal des Liebats is serious iu recommending to the elec tors of Paris M. Darunon, the pupil, the colleague, the friend of Pruclh,in ' and the expoun ier of his terrible doctrines. It can scarcely feel sympa•hy with the Commissary of the Republic (no was then wily twervy years of age) in ics wildest days, nor with the Red M. 011ivier, M. Carnot, M. Goad chaux, and others of the same stamp, ou the mere chance that one of its own e litters may slip in unno ticed. And are we asked to believe that the ,Siecle is sincere when it proclaims in its Republican columns M. de LiAboulaye, who, there is no doubt, will, :shoal 1 the occasion require it, denounce iu the Chamber the acts that led to the revolution of February ? General Cavaignac, who figures in the same list, is a name apart. A Republican, more ,perhaps from family tradition than c arviction, he yet served the Ode mist Government, took the oath of allegiance to it, accepted honours and rewards from it ; he did not conspire for us uvetthrow, and his services as Dicattur of the Republic are con siderable enough to entitle h.m to be m‘de au ex ception. The coalition between tile Debate an 1 the Siccle has brought on the former the sarcasms of ti,e ocher Royalst jou, n els. The following private telegraphic despatches have been received : " BERNE, JUNE 13. " Dr. Kern leaves to-day for Paris. He takes with him the ratification of the treaty rotating to the Canton of Neuchatel. " Dr. Kern is likewise charged to thank, in the name of the Iteivetic Government, the mediating Powers, and particularly France and England." " MADRID, JUNE 13. "Spain is negotiating with Sardinia a treaty for the extradition of criminals." "MARSEILLES, JUNE 13. "Marshal Radetzky has received the last aaeratactitS at Venn:La." The Minister of War has received the following despatch from Marshal Randou : "SOUK-EL-ARBA, JUNE 9. " The Governor-General tuts alinister of War.
