We think that money ought never to be scarce, but always obtainable upon se curity at a steady rate of interest. We see no reason why the exchange of commodities should be stopped, or trade paralysed for want of the instrument of exchange.

It, were as reasonable to suppose that a scarcity of cotton would lead to the hoarding of tea. We cannot agree with you that " If one man lends another man £lOO now, he knows what he has to receive at the expiration of the period of credit." He certainly -knows the weight of gold the law entitles him to receive, but neither "the creditor" nor the " debtor" can foretell what the " value" or purchasing power of that gold will be at the maturity of the contract, such value depending on the quantity of bullion that may then chance to be in the Bank of England. We beg to correct an error into which you have fallen, when you assume that we are favourable to an inconverti ble paper. , Our object is to expose the defects of the present monetary laws, and. to procure the establishment of a system that will not superadd to the calamity of a bad harvest, the still greater infliction of a deficient cir culation by which Capital and Credit are destroyed— trade paralysed, employment stopped, and the institutions of the country endangered.

Murphy called upon him there, on the 17th of August, and asked if he was wanted, and he said that he had come for the gun, which he said was not his, and he should have to pay for it. He also said that a book had been taken from his house. Mr. Abram, another superintendent, was present, and asked Murphy if he was secretary to the club, to which he answered " Yes." Took him- to . the Main Bridewell, on the way to which, Murphy said that he was only secretary to the Sarsfield Club ; and that he had been to Ireland the day before.

Cross-examined by Mr. SAGAR.—Mr: M•Manus is about 37 years of age, and was established some years in business in Liverpool and much respected , .

Could not swear to him then. At tended a meeting on the 7th April; and could swear to him as being present then. (The witness pointed out Someis in the Dock.) The speech, which was read to the Court, was of a violent character, pointed out the neces sity of arming, end hinted at the probability of Liver pool and Manchester being burned, should there be any bloodshed in Ireland. The witness attended also 43, meet- ing on the 14th of April, and made a summary report of the proceedings, a portion of which he read to the Court containing the remarks of Doctor Reynolds and Mr. Somers. Re-examined to show that the above were Meetings Mr. PoLLocx endeavoured to raise a question whether or not it had been publicly stated by Mr. Rushton, pre- viously to these meetings, that every subject had , aright to possess arms. The witness retired until the papir was sent for in which. he reported a case, in which Dr. R.-:vnolds complained of the conduct of the police in entering his arms store. Mr_ Rnhprt. Rn reporter, was called to prove speeches delivered on the sth of April, in the presence of were urged to iherec ... • was directed to stand aside. Povah, policeman, deposed to the presence of several of the prisoners. Mr. Roach was recalled and read Doheny's speech, calling upon the meeting to arm, to get rifles and pikes, and afterwards a speech of Dr. Reynolds of a similar character. Witness was also present on the 11th June at a meeting on the North Shore, Hopper, Somers, and Dr. Reynolds were there. M'Lean, the chairman, spoke first, afterwards Jones spoke and Dr. Reynolds followed. The witness read Dr. Reynolds' speech, which was of a levelling character, and denunciatory of Lord John Rus sell's government, the police, the law and its officers in general, and in which the speaker gloried in the defeat of the English troops in India, and called upon the people to form clubs, and to arm and organize themselves, as they were doing in Ireland, where they did not intend to allow a morsel of their harvest to leave the land without fighting for it, and concluded by stating that he had been as seditious as he could, and defied the Government to touch him. Witness read next a speech by Hopper, one of the prisoners, denouncing the conduct of Government towards John Mitchell, and calling upon the meeting to draw the sword. A speech by Somers, accusing the authorities of packing Mitchell's jury, awl abusing the editor of the Journal followed. _ _ The ATTORNEY-GENERAL here offered to produce the notice in the .Albion of the proceedings before Mr. Rush ton in the case of Dr. Reynolds' complaint; but Mr. Pollock withdrew the point he had intended to raise upon Jabez, policeman, attended a meeting on the 6th of June, in Circus-street, at which were several of the prisoners, and took notes of the proceedings, which con sisted of information as to the formation and arming of the clubs. Was present also at a meeting on the 14th of June at Bevington Bush. The chairman was named Parks, and the meeting was said to have been called to übs. Hopper Was present and asked the meeting to visit his club in Birkenhead. They could defy the Go vernment. Ernest Jones was also present, and spoke in favor of forming clubs. The witness also deposed to the proceedings of a meeting in Circus-street, on the 22nd of June, at which Hopper and others were present, when violent insurrectionary speeches were delivered, and to those of another meeting on the 7th July, in Great Howard-street. This witness said that he followed M'Manus to Ireland, and gave information at the Castle. Cross-examined by Mr. POLLOCK as to his proficiency in reporting, and how many speeches he reported in a night. Witness stated that he was not examined on any of the cases before the magistrates ; was present on Cud dy's case; but was not examined. His deposition, signed by Mr, Rushton, was handed up to him ; when he ex plained that the depositions were drawn up in the clerk's form c office, and sworn before Mr. Rushton, but that he was never examined in the Court. A difference was noticed by Mr. Roebuck between the evidence given by witness as to the procedings on the 6th June and that stated in his depositions, which he accounted for by saying that he spoke then from memory, the magistrate's clerk having his notes. Mathew Willock. policeman, gave evidence of the pro ceedings at the meeting in Circus-street, which was very similar to that of the preceding witness, and also deposed to the proceedings at some other meetings. Cross-examined by Mr. POLLOCK, as to his prisctice and mode of reporting. Witness explained that his depositions were taken down in the magistrates' clerks'-room. _ His LORDSIIIP interfered to prevent any inquiry which might tend to throw blame on the mode of conducting the magisterial business in Liverpool. Mr. PoLLocK explained that his object was only to show that the prisoners might be damaged by their not having an opportunity of cross-examining the witnesses. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL showed that some of the witnesses had been cross-examined. _ •.• Henry Banner, (who was very ill,) knows Cuddy, and met him on the 22nd July, in Church-street, who asked him to cart a few pikes for him. Ile went with him to a back yard, and held a sack, into which Cuddy put two dozen or more pikes. At first he refused to have anything to do with him. He went with him, however, by the back streets and along Byrom-street into Scotland-road, where both were taken into custody by Inspector Burrell. Cross-examined.—Cuddy told the inspector that witness was only engaged by him. Mary Williams let the Baptist Chapel to Cuddy for four nights, two in each week ; and subsequently stopped the meetings, because she saw pikes there. His LORDSHIP, it being six o'clock, and a number of witnesses remaining to be examined for the Crown, ad journed the court until this morning. THE WEATHER.—Since our last publication, the wea ther has been on the whole extremely mild for the sea_ son ; giving us an easy induction into the middle of winter. As regards health, however, and to avert a precocity of vegetation which is sure to be again checked when a severe temperature sets in, we should prefer a slight frost. Yesterday morning was so hazy, and dark, even after sunrise, that many persons missed time , thinking it was not daylight. The thermometer stood in the fore noon as high as 57, being only 3 degrees under a whole_ some heat in a sitting room, and in the afternoon it rOte still higher, and about five o'clock stood at 58. THE POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. The business at our police-court yesterday was more than usually heavy, notwithstanding the arrival of the Judges of Assize, who opened the commission on Satur day, which one would imagine would have held evil-doers in terrorem. The general opinion is that the weather on Saturday and Sunday was so comparatively fine and mild, that street prowlers and disorderly persons were astir, and " made their game" to the best advantage. Be this as it may, we do not remember so great a number of cases of felony and of assault, accompanied by grievous bodily harm, to have been brought before the court on any one day within the last ten years. There were no fewer than 191 prisoners to begin with, and a few added during yes terday, made the amount nearly 200. This is almost an alarming amount of crime, and some of the offonces were, we regret to say, of an aggravated character,—addressing themselves for investigation not only to the quarter ses sions, but, in some instances. in cases of savage and nearly deadly assault, to the decision of the judges now on the circuit. In consequence of the assizes having yesterday commenced at the Court-house, Chapel-street, Mr. Rushton, our police magistrate, was constrained to hold his sitting in the old police-court, High-street (the Court of Requests), and the day being almost sultry for the season, the air within its precincts was oppressive and unwholesome, the room being at the best confined and badly ventilated. The following is a condensed report • _ _ of the principal cases only,—for the space required fo our report of the' assizes precludes us from noticing thi whole : ILLEGAL DISTRAINT.

The case resolved itself into a matter of trespass, and the parties, after a strong caution from Mr. Rushton as to their future conduct, were discharged. Ho - cam BREAK ING.—James Walsh and Peter Ledger were charged with having, on Saturday evening, broken into•the house-IVo.

Prisoner was caught in a court in the same street after he had committed the depreda tion. He was committed for trial at the sessions. THEFT OF SOAP.—A young man, named Dennis Ford, was charged with having stolen a box of soap from a parcel of 1,000 boxes which had been sent to the west aide of the Salthouse Dock, for shipment to Batavia. The box weighed , l6,lbs., and was stated to he worth 6s. The case was proved against the prisoner, and he was committed for trial. He was detected through the vigilance of a watchman in the employ of-Messrs. Aikin and Co.,Goree. CHARGE OA' STEALING ROPE.—Peter Rooney and William M'lvor were charged with stealing 31 yards of a hawser' which had belonged to a flat recently " wrecked" in one of the-North Docks. It appeared that the rope had been washed away from the vessel, and as no effort was made to attach a buoy- to it, Mr. Rushton said the carelessness thus shown by the master of the vessel justified him in discharging the prisoners.

MONDAY EVENING _ The sovereignty of the empire of Austria has at length become too ,weighty a matter to be wielded by old or middle-aged men—nothing but young blood can succeed with Young Germany, and a youth of eighteen is ex pected to overcome the difficulties which his uncle was unable to struggle through, and his father would not attempt ; the Pope has this time run away for certain ; and although, up to the time of writing, we do not know how the French presidential election has gone on, we fear that the antagonism of parties must have led to some bloody conflicts yesterday. This is pretty fair for one week. It is probable that the late Emperor of Austria may be allowed to retire from public administration in Peace ; but the ultimate destination of the Pope is some what doubtful : the Neapolitan dominions may prove too warm to be comfortable • and as the probability of his taking refuge with Mr. Moore O'Ferrall has already been hinted at, it will require only one step further, and we may see his Holiness comfortably lodged in London — that spacious MIMI des Invalides Royales—under the shelter of her Britannia Majesty's protection : he must leave the pontificate behind him of course. The arrival of intelligence in London of these eventful continental movements produced a slight decline in the English funds en Friday, but before the close of the day they recovered previous quotations In connexion with the sales which ,00k place on that day on account of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it was understood that the Government broker would have disposed of a larger amount of Consols at 871 had that price been obtainable; and complaints were very strongly expressed against his method of doing business, in taking advantage from time to time of any temporary firmness in the market, and suffering a mystery to be made of the amount yet remaining, and of the periods and proportions in which it is likely to be disposed of. On Saturday, notwithstanding some further sales on Govern ment account, and the announcement of the probable ad vent to power of the war party at Turin, the funds ad - vanced R, closing at 871 to I.

An improved feeling has been manifested in favour of Coffee, and prices are looking up. The arrivals of glee, generally considered, are freely offering, but there is-no change in value since Friday 'several sales are advertised for this week stock of Saltpetre is light, and with a good demand prices are on the advance.

The official statistics lately published in Sydney are most satisfactory, as showing the immense resources and increasing wealth of the colony of New South Wales. The admission of British goods into the states of the Zollverein, without the payment of extra duties, is to be procured by 'a certificate, countersigned by the consul of any one of the states, to the effect that the exporter or shipping agent intends to despatch certain goods through the Custom-house of London to Hamburgh, and that the said goods are of British manufacture. CIRQUE NATIONAL DE PARIS, ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE This week had been announced the last of the season of this celebrated company's performances in Liverpool, but we find that M. Dewar' is enabled to prolong his stay during the first three days of next week, his London en gagement admitting of this arrangement. Two more morning performances will also take place—one on Friday next, and the last on the following Wednesday ; and the evening performance of that day will be the last opportu nity the public will have of witnessing the abundant amusements which this very extensive troupe affords to them. During the past week the attendance at the Amphi theatre has been good, and many novelties have been. introduced ; indeed, such are the resources of this excel lent company of artistes, that, often as we have attended the performances, we have always found something new to interest us. Madame Briloff is a bold equestrian. The " Two, Grotesques," by MM. Montero and Braquet, displays the pliability of which the human form is capable. " The Jockey," a comic scene, by MM. Newsome, Nief, and Siegriest, affords endless amusement and laughter ; and " The Yorkshire Horse-dealer," by Newsome, brings out the equestrian powers of this clever equestrian to perfection. The " Musketeers' Quadrille," by the male and female equestrians of the troope, is an extraordinary performance. The horses dance the figures of the quadrille in excellent time to the music, and proving that M. Franconi can teach a four-footed animal to dance as well as our dancing masters can the biped race. The " Festival of Flowers" are evolutions per formed by the horses, and exhibit the most accomplished training, and the skill of the tilers. Madlle. Caroline continues to delight with her extraordinary riding and management of her horse. This lady is so celebrated at Paris, and her fame so great on the Continent, that a Russian lady_ of distinction made a journey from St. Petersburgh to the French capital on purpose to witness her surprising skill. Mrs. Clarke is a bold equestrian, and possesses what the French term aplomb to perfection. Her performance is spirited, but wants that extreme of elegance and finish which is so remarkable in the foreign artistes. Madlle. E. Lambert received a fall during the week, but nothing more than will deprive us of witnessing her elegant acts for a few days. We are also sorry to hear that M. Ducos, a member of the troope, died at Bologne a few days since, after four months' illness. He bore an excellent character, and his loss will be much felt by his friends. Madlle. - Ducos was announced to perform last Friday and Satuoday, but on account of this event Madlle. P. Annati supplied her place. We would recommend to those who are desirous of witnessing the performances not to lose the short period now afforded to them. Yesterday morning the body of a man, named Dennis Ford, was picked up in the Victoria Dock. The deceased was a working man, and some little property was found upon him. MR. RYALLS' CONCERT.—Mr. Ryalls, one of our most eminent vocalists, will give a grand concert this evening, at which some of the most established favourites will be present. Mr. George Holden will conduct. Our musical friends will have a rich treat. MR. DUNN AGAIN.—At the Southwark Police-court, on Saturday, Mr. Dunn, the barrister who has so often been before the public as the admirer of Miss Burdett Coutts, was brought up, the term of his imprisonment having expired. He tendered bail for his future good conduct. On the magistrate declining to accept the par ties brought forward, Mr. Dunn waxed very wrath, and contended that great injustice had been done him; and he would take care not to come to that court again. THE FLUTE.—On Friday evening Mr. Carte, the emi nent flute-player, from London, delivered at the Colle giate Institution the first of two lectures on the flute, its construction and capabilities. His object was chiefly to explain and illustrate the improvements recently introdu ced by the celebrated Boehm. He gave a most interest ing sketch of the history of the instrument. He executes the most rapid passages with a facility truly astonishing, while into the pathetic parts he infuses a tone of the most exquisite feeling. Brilliancy of execution is not more peculiarly his forte than depth and tenderness of expression, All his pieces were greatly admired ; but in the variations' to " Rule Britannia" he perfectly electri fied his auditory by the masterly manner in which he sus tained both the first and second parts at the same time. Unfortunately, his stay in town terminates with his lecture, this evening, the programme of which will be found in our advertising columns, so that a great portion of the Liverpool public will necessarily be deprived of the singular musical treat which they would otherwise have enjoyed. ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON Smith were charged with robbing named M'Culloch, in Athole-street, on San Mary Hughes and Catharine ciable looking man, 1 3y night, of his Hughes produced the watch. They then recriminated against each other. They were committed for trial. AN OLD OFFENDER CAUGHT:—John Minor, a young man, a carter, who bad been twice before committed, was now back yard in Great George's He was sent for three Mon' ittrs to the House of Correction a URDEROUS ASSAULTS An old sailor, named (so near as •we could learn the name), itonio Schufre. was charged with stabbing a shipmate in• a lodging-house. with a clas - p-knifei which was produced, -and which was bloodstained on the blade. An interpreter had to be employed in this case. The wounded man being danger ously ill at the hospital, the pris)ner was remanded until the result should be known, and further evidence adduced. Michael Conway appeared with his head bandaged up, and complained against a prisoner named none...manic, him self appeared to be severely wounded on the chin, p whichl ni was t ct.t.tt:tlnt the Th esnamn- that on Sunday sight he went. up stairs, when tne pri soner., attacked him, got him down, bit him over. the was eye, and finally,' seizing a table knife, (which produced, . . and was very bloody), &frac the left cheek —the'blade plainant said that he cried out at the time, "Oh mercy, do not kill me I" The complainant showed his tongue, which was of a horrible purple, or bloody, and swollen appearance. The scene • of the assault was in Scotland-road.. A surgeon deposed to the nature of the wounds as stated, and the prisoner was com mitted for trial at the present assizes. A stout young man, named George Parry, was charged with a savage assault upon an unfortunate girl, named Letitia Puffy, in a house in Eldon-street, while she was lying asleep upon a. sofa. He had burst open the door, and in his fury left the girl in a state of insensibility. She had been brought from the hospital, and Mr. Rushton ordered that she should be taken, back. in a. car, and brought up again when further evidence could be adduced. LATEST FOREIGN AND COLONIAL The fleet with the expedition on behalf of the Pope, has returned to Marseilles. The troops disembarked immediately. BERLIN, DEC. 6.---The members of the National As sembly are deliberating on a protest against the dissolu tion. The state of siege, it is said, will be raised on the 10th, and the King will enter Berlin to reside. The funds have risen in consequence of the royal decree. Tnz EMPEROR OF MOROCCO, AND PIRACY IN THE STRAITS.—The government have determined to employ Sir Charles Napier's squadron in settling with the Em peror of Morocco with respect to the late piratical capture and plunder of the British vessel the Three Sisters, on the coast of Barbary, instead of the squadron under the command of Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, in the Medi terranean ; Sir Charles Napier has received his instruc tions from the Admiralty to proceed immediately with the force under his command. THE LATE LORD. GEORGE BENTINCK.—A full-length portrait of this lamented nobleman, the only one for which he ever sat, is now on view at Mr. Grundy's, in Church-street. It bears a most striking resemblance to his lordship. The head hal all the high and chivalric character, and that air of animation and intelligence which so strongly distinguished the late nob!e lord. The portrait was lately exhibited at Mansfield. and the tender reminiscences of one old man were so refreshed by his sight of the speaking canvas, that he shed a flood of tears. In the week before last, one house in Liverpool is said to have received from Ireland not less than £9,000, in separate sums of £1 each, as head money for so many separate fami lies emigrating to America. It is thus that the bone and sinew of the country are rapidly wastin g away. All the small farmers are becoming paupers and burdens on the land ; and all the large ones are becoming " Levanters," as, in fashionable parlance, fraudulent runaways are styled. COLLEGIATE INSTITIITION. — It appears from a circular recently issued, that a strong effort is being made by the directors of this institution to obtain funds, in order to li quidate a balance of £5,100, which is still due to Mr. Shaw for the land on which the building is erected. It appears that fifty gentlemen, the warm supporters of the institution, have already had to pay £l6O each for the purpose of discharging a balance of £BOOO due to the contractor, beyond the sum raised by donations, - and these parties 'ought certainly not to be called 'upon to con tribute further. Several gentlemen have nobly come for ward to raise the required amount, amongst , whom are T. Littledale, Esq., £lOO, W. Gregson, Esq.. £lOO, Rev. A. Campbell, £5O. Considering the benefits which the institution has conferred, and by God's favour we hope will continue to confer, upon the community, by providing the middling and working classes with the means of ob taining a cheap education of the highest quality, and in the pnrest principles of religion and morals, we trust that many of our townsmen will, in such an emergency, do their utmost to relieve the directors from so serious a re sponsibility. GOSSIP PROM THE TOWN-HALL — OUr contemporary of the Albion yesterday gave under this head a very erro neous account, as we have beep assured by several parties who were present, of an occurrence which took place at the Mayor's 'table on Tuesday evening. We know not from whom the Albion obtained his inforination"; but we shall be very much surprised if he does not next week acknowledge that he has been most egregiously imposed upon. Instead of the Rev. Dr. M`Neile delivering such a speech as there represented. the expression of all the reverend gentleman's sentiments gave the utmost satis faction even to those opposed to his views, including, we believe, the Rev. Dr. Raffles who was present, No allu sion was made directly or indirectly by Dr. M`Neile to " his section of the Church," or to any subject which could by possibility give offence to any churchman or dis senter in the kingdom. The proprietor of the Mail re plied on the same evening to the toast of "The Press," and we shall not say anything further with reference to his address, than to assert confidently that not one word of allusion to Dr. M'Neile was heard to fall from his lips; and that therefore the story of the rev. gentleman being " annoyed at so strange an attack and quitting the room" is sheer invention. The rev. gentleman only re tired with the rest of the company. We may add that the*hole party congratulated each other at the termina tion of the entertainment on having passed an unusually ' delightful and harmonious evening. As so much has been said on the subject, perhaps Mr. Baines of the , Timea, whir was present on the occasion, will be kind ' enough to inform us whether our version of the occurrence a or that of our contemporary is more correct. Dee. 12, 1848. WEST RIDING ELECTION.-NOMINATION YESTERDAY. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) WAKEFIELD, ~ MONDAY AFTERNOON. The nomination of candidate's for the West Riding tqok place this morning, at 11 o'clock. The Under-Sheriff came to the hustings, the High Sheriff being engaged at York Assizes ; and after the usual preliminaries, Sir Cul ling Eardley was proposed by James Harrison, Esq., and. seconded by Francis Carbutt, Esq. An apology was mad, for the absence of Sir Culling Eardley, by his proposer, on the ground of serious illness. Mr. Carbutt entered into an expla nation of the circumstances attendir ' , the introduction of Sir Culling Eardley to the electors of the West Riding, and cen sured the landed gentry for their absence from the hustings. He characterised Sir Culling as a sincerely religious man, and defended him from the charges of bigotry or alienship. He also entered at some length into an explanation of Sir Collings opinions on the ballot, extension of the suffrage, retrenchment in public expense, and on the subject of any further religious endowment; and concluded, amidst much cheering from the supporters of Sir Culling, by expressing his willingness to an swer any question on behalf of the absent candidate. The Hon. E. Lascelles then proposed Mr. Edmund Beckett Denison, which was seconded by John Rand, Esq. Mr. Rand, in the course of a vigorous and energetic speech, strongly con demned the proceedings of certain persons in Leeds, who had assumed to themselves the right to dictate to the electors of the West-Riding. He strenuously urged the claims of Mr. Denison, both on the ground of his sound censtitutional poll tics, and his valuable services to the Riding when he before represented it. _ . _ Mr. Samuel Kydd was pro , osed by Mr. Isaac Ironside, and ;econded by Mr. Vicare Brooke. No other candidate being proposed, John Bright, Esq., M.P., rose to address the electors in be;. half of Sir Culling Eardley. He was received with loud cheer. , ing from the friends of Sir Culling, and cries of " No more Leaves f" from the opposition party. Mr. Bright, after ex pressing his regret at the absence of Sir Culling, proceeded to read an address from him, which commenced by defending the writer from certain charges made against him during the pro gress of his canvass, and then went cn to state his views on some of tile more prominent topics of the day. He expressed himself favourable to the ballot, triennial parliaments, modifi e I cation of the property qualification, extension of the suffrage, . _ game-laws, and strenuously opposed to any further religious endowment. After reading this address, Mr. Bright vainly tried to continue his remarks. to the meeting,• amidst loud cheers from his friends and great uproar from the supporters of Mr. Denison-. Ultimately the Under Sheriff declared that, on the precedent of the last election, Mr. Bright was' entitled to speak ; and, after considerable delay, he proceeded. Mr. Denison was the next speaker, and was received with mingled cheers and uproar, so that his speech was - scarcely as could be understood, he explained his views on the subject of free trade, national education, and the endowment of thi Roman Catholic priesthood; and expressed his belief that the' present contest was a struggle between church and chapel for ascendancy. He repudiated all personal objects in aspiring to represent the West-Riding, and pledged himself never to give a vote which would endanger the constitution in church or Mr. Kydd, the Chartist,,next spoke at considerable time, .on the usual topics, and at the close of his address, the Under- Sheriff proceeded to take a•show of hands, which he declared to'be in favour of Sir Culling Eardley. A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Denison, and after a vote of thanks to tho Under-Sheriff, the assembly brake up. MEETING OF THE POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY PROPOSED NEW LANDING STAGE. The annual meeting of the Polytechnic Society was held on Thursday evening last; and was very numerously attended, his worship the Mayor being one of the visitor's present. Mr. Bennett, the Piesulent, was in the chair ; and the business announced for the evening was the ex planation of a model of a new Landing Stage proposed by Mr. Grantham, to be laid down at the south end of the Prince's Pier, for the accommodation of the Sea combo, Egremont, and New Brighton Ferry boats, and the large steamers. The principal' eatures of Mr. Gran tham'l plan we have already explained ;.but we may here _ 4 -'O4l to the mist of a It it proposed that the stage shall thin. nearly flat bottomed. of abo D same height as the - present sm 3ttr hun- cheons fourteen 'feet high, for moorkig. the large Dublin and other steamers, and the southern end for the ferry boats. Or the stage may consist of two boats,. say of 300 feet each in length, the one with a higher deck, adaptecrto the level of the decks of the large steamers, xuctiorr than- those at t great lan stage, vg terially the• gradient. The mooring will •be by spring cables and' becims, not extending beyond the length of the stage.

It was objected, however, that the Society could not, as such,,meve in a matter of the kind ; .and the me- room, where it was sigtied by most of those present.

General Sir Alexander and Lady Duff, and Mr. Richard Brooke, eldest son of Sir Richard Brooke, Bart., of Nor— ton Priory, Cheshire, is to be solemnised to-day. EFFECTS or- FREE TRADE.—The Times of yesterday, in commenting on the badgering whichithe candidates for the West Riding have experienced at the various meetings which they have attended, says—" Unfortunately the people of Sheffield have nothing to do just now but to ask questions." CURIOUS CHARGE.—At Marlborough -street (London) police-office, Eugene Sautier (otherwise Baron de Sautier) and Marie Delorice (otherwise Baroness Richmond de Bassein) wete charred with having unlawful possession of a large quantity of valuable property belonging to his Majesty Louis Philippe. , The defendants were found at the Prince of Wales hotel, Leicester-street, and several valuable jewels found in the room,, belonging to Louis Philippe, and which were deposited in the Palace de . Neuilly, and valued at £lO,OOO. A necklace of the value of £lo,ooo.is also missing. The parties were remanded. THE PRESIDENT OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC:—The time is now passed by the order of events, if not by the maturity of the revolution, and the French people have pro ceeded to the consummation of. their great experiment. Sunday witnessed the commencement of the election for the Presidency of the French Republic, and the poll closed throughout the country last night. But, from the immense number of the votes, dispersed over the whole territory of the republic, several days must elapse before the final result can be known, and the returns from Corsica and Algiers will probably not be received before the 25th instant.
