I there found a negro trader, with half-a-dozen eons and daughters of the descendants of Ham, whom he had purchased in the State of Maryland, and was on, his way .with theni to the New Orleans Market. I was . particularly struck with the beauty of a white girl, , about . . seventeen years of age, whom I was siirprised to see sitting beside the negroes ; but I concluded that she must. be the young and handsome s d m au o g k h in t: ,r m o f yt,liceigtarra,d er. and I to sa o t k m a y .p s os elf iti d o o n wi w i i b l y eie the l stove, eould see anc admire the mingled weibuitsceirei,dd: r f o: a. y tu t r r e a s ns o p t ur t e h n e t 'complexion; „arid' the finely. young girl; with her lips like two rose-buds, her eyes l l o iq v u e id him in se t i h f e l i n r ig b h rit d t e r i r i e g s i s i , t t a o n ti nestleher a i u n b . u r l n h t r a e d s s a e c s iu t a b l a l y t begun, almost, to think about poetry, and love, and Penis, and stars, and Connect t hem with the fair being bef , :re m e , w h en all at' once a coarse negro laugh broke out from between those pearly teeth and those rosebud lips—called forth by some remark ,made to her by the swarthy black at her side.

The railway market has been slightly depressed by speculative sales, but remains good in character, preparations for the fortnightly settling being a continuance of invest ments by the public.—Times. The funds this morning experienced a decline of I per cent., owing chiefly to the character of the telegraphic intelligence from the Continent, which each day reports some fresh impediment to the settlement of the. Italian question. In the . afternoon a partial recovery took place. Consols closed I V per cent. lower than. Saturday. In the other departments of The Stock Eichatige speed lative realisations likewise predominated. The demand for money was slack, at 34 per cent. for the' best bills.

Upon her head was placed a high crown 'of polished gold, upon which were imprinted in black enamel some Egyptian hieroglyphics. There .were a necklace and bracelets to match: The Princess Clothilde was present. Her Imperial - Highness is' far from pretty, b u t a di s ti ng uished French political economist, speaking of her at the ball, declared he considered her • the most extraordinarily endowed lady in Europe.

Her character, in spite of her extreme youth, is very firm—this her face indicates. The Bmpress is very fond of this he young relative.

In the House of Lords, last night, after some merely formal business, a conversation followed, it still be seen, upon a question put as to . the conteniplated autliorisation of l 4 rench emigration agents at seaport towns in India, and the cessa tion of the Coolie emigration from the coast of Africa. In the House of Commons last night Mr. J. P. Hennessy was reported guilty of neglect of committee duty, to the serious loss of parties, and a summons was issued for his attendance in the House forthwith. The Carlisle, Weymouth, and Dundalk election petitions were finally dis posed of. On Mr. Kinglake's motion, seconded by Sir R. Peel 4 it was agreed to produce copies of the correspondence which had taken place between the Government and the Governments of France and Sardinia, in respect to the proposal for annexing Savoy and Nice to France, In committee on the customs acts in the course o: a desultory discussion on the fourth resolution, which relates to the reduction of customs duties on minor articles, and several of these having been agfeed to; Mr: Duncombe ; moved an amendment, to the effect that the day On cork should only be abolished with respect to the production of countries which did not levy any export duty upon that article, which was'defeated by a majority of 191 to 118. The Chancellor of • the EXchequer then made a motion, which was at once carried, limiting the resolution to the engage ments of the French treaty, and expressing his intention to raise the general questiOn SOSe qiietitly. The English proposals to Anstria for the settle ment of the Italian question, insist tipon a sub mission to . the popular will, as expressed 'in the revolts of the Duchies, and certain of the States of the Church; and M. Thouvenel, the French Minister, all4es the obstinate refusal of the Central Italians to receive back their exiled Princes as the ground for adopting- those proposals, declaring, however, that even yet, " France would consent to a less radical combina tion than that proposing the dismemberment of those States;'? Russia does not, it seems, abso lutely reject . the proposals, but repudiates the principle of deference to -the popular will which they involve. The Russian Cabinet has repeated its wish, however, for the convocation of a Con gress of the Great Powers, as the best means of assuring a durable peace in • Europe,—only, it requires that this. Congress shall not be fettered . by any previous stipulations respecting the bases of negotiation; : While the English Government refuses to take part in it unless the bases and limits of its deliberations are first formally settled and defined. Prussia, .it is understood, coincides with the Russian Cabinet. Austria, Russia, and Prussia are tints combined • against France and England. English interests, as pitted against French, in the discussion on .the wine duties, in the House of Commons on Monday night, had no chance of being heeded as they deserve. -Mr: Ball.demanded the reduction of the English malt-tax in pre ference to that., on French wines,—iti :fact. he demanded. free-trade for the British farmer,. who was not allowed to have the privilege of putting his own produce to the best advantage. But the House, by a considerable majority, as our ;report of the proceedings showed; iiegatiVed his proposal. The honourable' member did not hesitate to declare, that he " hold the whole of this subject to he an abomination, and he would be much mis taken if it did not inflict injury. on the people of this country, Who would for the first time find out what free-trade at the hands of the, Liberals really meant." •• . • • By the overland mail, which was received in London yesterday, we learn that the Budget of the Chancellor of India—Mr. James Wilson — was beginning to be anticipated with much interest. Mr. Wilson had been taking pains to make himself acquainted with the circumstances of the country,- and had •put himself •in communi cation with the leading merchants and manufac turers, in. order, no doubt, to ascertain what fiscal regulations it will be the • most expedient to fix upon. His reception, it is stated, bas everywhere been most favourable. . . Mr. Gladstone would - Seem to' expect that our. middle classes, and the better part of our vorkin classes, now that they will be able to get French . via ordinaire as cheap as the French themselve r —since our import duty will not exceed their oetroi,—will ,bcconte . considerable „consumers of that article. But this is'inore'than ,. doubtful, Our English ale and porter Are infinitely superior as refreshing and re-invigorating. bevera g es ; and Englishmen, of the clasS . referred.to, will scarcely . be persuaded to the contrary, by any reduction in price of the thin, and often sour, common wines of France. "The Frenchman," says the Times, "likes his via ordinaire because he drank it from his childhood; and, as he drinks it with water, he does not care if it is rather acid. It remains to be seen Whether our moist - climate will give as great a zest for this class of wine as the dry air of France." • Yes—" it remains to he seen." But there will be more than " the dry air of France" required, or we are much, mistaken, to give Englishmen a greater zest for such poor wine than for their more generous native malt. The Times asks, with reference to the French Emperor's new designs regarding, Italy, if his Imperial Majesty, as the liberator of that country, can really now forbid the consummation of his own work ; and argues, that "if there .is to he no great Italian kingdom, there can be no pretence fur strengthening the frontier line. of F r ance, t,,r maintaining that " to seize upon the ter,!Liz of be Piedmont under such circumstances.n Conscience undissembled robbery ; and the coin in;ut, questions of Europe would not endure It timps he intends to our astute contemporary, • " powers of the Church, forego all th oug hts of that near French provi nce, .- °NN A c ustria ?

Who, indeed, --especially when it is the will of one so sub We give a report to-day of the Board of Trade . . inquiry yesterday, before Mr. Raffles, respecting the origin of the fire that lately occurred in the American ship Endymion, in the Mersey, which involves one or two points of importance to the shipping interest. Exception had been taken to the jurisdiction of the Board of Trade, on account of its being an American ship, although burnt in British waters but the opinion of the la* officers of the Crown having been taken upon it, it was ascertained that the Board of Trade had a perfect right to institute such an inquiry. It would seem, however, that the evidence intended o havO been brought forward to prove that the the had beeri calked by eatejessnes§ was defective, and, coisethientiv, the 114111 preOe,Oed. *ith. A copy .' the opinion of the officerS of the .Crown, W,aS,a;skea for. and obtained by the American consul; to . he forwarded to his dovern ment, in order that the question at issue might be discussed between the Governments of the two countries. It appears that the section of the new Merchant Shipping Act, relating to articles of a dangerous nature as cargo, by which explo sions might be produced, does not apply to foreign ships, and it is contended, therefore, that on this account, the Board of Trade cannot claim jurisdiction over such ships. The question will now no doubt be adjusted by negotiation. LOOKERS on; it is said; hate genetally a better idea of tile gath.e that i 9 being played ttiar those who are engaged in it ; and it would semi twit our American cousins are looking on at the game that the FRENCH EMPEROR is playing with the British Cabinet just now, with the keenest interest, and are already calculating advantages from its results far beyond anything, in' all pro- bability, that will be realised by it for ourselves. They do not hesitate to declnre their conviction, that *lieri din- Treaty with France comes into Operation they 11 shall experience fir niofe benefit troiii the eliange id the thin will Englarid.' ; And for these reagoris The taste a the Trench;" it is argued, " in the production of textile fabrics must open to her manufactures here a large market, which will be still further increased by the liking of our citizens for French calicoes and silks, French wines, and French articles of luxury. We ought soon to exchange," it is continued, "with the. thirty-six millions of Frenchmen as much as we do with the thirty millions of British sub jects, and we doubt not that when the new Com mercial Treaty shall have been completed., our commerce with France will exhibit an increase 7ar beyond anything that has been witnessed with any other country." What a stimulus, then, will :not the French manufacturers thus have, to rival England in some of her staple manufactures P And what are we going to do by this Treaty, but put them in pos session of our coal and our machinery—the very things they now want to enable them to rival us, and to beat m in the production of those same textile fabrics, for which the United States of America have- so boundless a, market?' This is a practical view of the question ; and if it be in anywise a correct one, it is evident that our national interests have not been studied in the measures now before the House of Commons for carrying out the Treaty with France. We are not objecting to such a Treaty of itself. There can be no question that it is most important to endeavour to extend our com mercial intercourse with so near a neighbour, and so productive g country, as France. What we contend for, hoWever, is., that in doing this, there are most momentous political considerations which ought not to be lost sight of,--that there are very great national interests which ought not to be injured, let alone sacrificed. In such poli tical considerations is involved the important question of our national security. In dealing with LOUIS NAPOLEON, we have to do with one who, there can be no doubt, has ulterior objects in view, and objects the attainment of which may turn out to be most perilous to the welfare of our own country,—which objects, therefore, it can never. be prudent on our part, however indirectly, to promote. Nor can it be wise, for the sake of any temporary commercial advantage, to put it in the. power of France to undermine our own manufac turing interests by needlessly imparting to them the facilities which we possess ourselves. The whole case is very forcibly put in the article in Blackwood, to which we made allusion Yesterday, entitled "The Foreign Connection of the House of Bull." .Having reviewed the poli tical career of His Imperial Majesty, and the circumstances of the country under it, the writer proceeds to observe,—" It is only by a considera tion of such facts as these that we can obtain an insight into the motives which actuate the French Emperor in his foreign policy. He is perpetually engaged in playing off the complications which arise abroad, against the troubles which meet him from within. When, therefore we ridicule the chances of a rupture with this country, we must satisfy ourselves that no domestic difficulty could possibly arise which would force him into choosing the alternative of hostilities with England, as a less evil than those with which he has to contend at home, and as,.possibly, the only escape from a fatal dilemma. lIIoW it can ever be to our advantage to assist and support him in the prosecution either of his home or foreign policy, it is difficult to discover," This, then, is the point which we would now more particularly remark upon. By our Treati with him, we are undoubtedly assist ing and supporting him in that policy,—a course which it can never be to our advantage to pursue. The effect of the House. of. Commons having been induced to do so is thus clearly and forcibly 'explained in the remainder of the able article from which we have just quoted : " In' the'ptirsuit of abstract economical theories, and the application of those' enlightened com mercial principles which characterise a class of politicians, we run the risk of overlooking the practical view of the question; and allow our political judgment to be warped by' our Mercan tile sympathies.. Thus by means of the Treaty recently concluded with Fraii3e, we have suc ceeded in alienating froM us the only class in the empire who have ever really been our friends, not from any love to" England, but because it was their interest to maintain peaCeful relations with this country. All- those manufacturing and pro ducing bodies, whose petitions against the Treaty have been pouring! in Ao the Government since the announcement of the alteration of the Tariff, are becOne bitter enemies to their rivals here, and adong time must elaP • se before ,the masses benefit sufficiently to give a prepoiicterating• weight of opinion; in favour of free-trade Meantime the I•e4ource of the sufferers lies iii a war With England, and the consequent high prices. They who always deprecated such an event as a serious injury to their manufacturing and commercial prosperity, now hail it as their only chance of salvation from utter ruin ; and when, eighteen months hence, the obnoxious reduc tions of duty are made, and a wide-spread feeling of discontent swells into a murmur of ac tive s theoppo sition, our faithful ally w ill channel to the authors o f the mispcloiiie en:; a nd should h re sponded to changed into a tone o f the silvery accents with which the axioms a Mr. COBDEINT be then defiance , it will find its readiest echo in the breasts of those among the French people s hitherto been our staunchest who have always friends." This, then, is the unhappy issue to which we may be brought. The practical and constitutional view of the question is too much o verlooked ; and members of the Legislature, of both the great parties into which it is divided, do undoubtedly "allow their political d• ju gment to be warped by their mercantile sym • pathies." There is no other way of accounting for the Ministerial majority of last Friday ni • ght. The thirty or forty Conservatives Ministers on that occasion were, ,doubtless, led to do so simply by "allowing tl • • political judgment to be. warped by their mercantile sympathies." And should such a only too evident that the country will find itself, in no long time, at the mercy of a democracy, by whose ruthless hands some of the most sacred of our institutions will soon be scattered to the winds.

With a view to allow replies to be sent to letters which will be delivered this morning, the Post-office authorities have postponed the departure of the out ward Calcutta and China mails, vies Marseilles, until Tuesday evening. INDIA. The overland mail has arrived. The advices are — from Calcutta, Jan. 25th ; Madras, Jan. 28th; Hong Kong, Jan. 14th; and Shanghai, Jan. 27th. The Calcutta ' correspondent of the Times, writing Jan. 24th, states that orders were expected from Eng land as to the selection of some of her Majesty's regi ments for China. The 44th, 66th, 87th, and 99th were certain to .go. The loan of five million pounds was being taken up by the native capitalists with great rapidity, in conse quence of the rise of Indian securities in London. The English order, limiting holders of staff appoint ments to a five years tenure, has been extended to India. Mr. Wilson's budget was beginning to be looked forward to with interest. He had just visited Luck now, where he received the principal civil officers. At Lahore he was received with considerable dere- . mony by the native chiefs, gentry, and townspeople.' At Umritsur, MT. Wilson received the leading mer chants and traders. The heads of each trade and profession were called up and questioned in turn.. The shawl trade occupies much attention, and many enquiries were made of the silk weavers. COMMERCIAL. At Calcutta freights have gone up considerably. Oil Seeds, very firm ;. Raw Silk, at extreme rates; Jute drooping; Saltpetre in small supply and higher. In the import market an improvement checked by tightness of money. There is no political news of interest by the present mail. THE WINE DUTIES. At 12 o'clock last night the House of Commons passed the resolution of the Chancellor of the Exchequer,. which was thereupon reported to the house. From that mo ment the old scale of duties ceased, and the new one is now in full operation until the Ist of January next. Therefore, there will be an uniform duty of 3s a gallon upon all foreign wines imported into this country, and after that day a graduated scale of duties, ranging from is. per gallon upon wines containing less than eighteen degrees of proof spirit, ls. 6d. of less than twenty-six degrees, and 2s. if less than 40 degrees.
