r Mr. Attorney-General 'Deasy's. opponent, Lord Campden, boldly declared that his " mission was to enforce the, reasonable requirements of the assembled prelates of Ireland." A. majority l , of upwards of two thousand,' votes. , .has virtually denied the. reasonableness 'of such " require ments:" THERE might have been some reason for the Address to the . Crown, which Mr. GEORGE BYNG, the member for Middlesex, and Mr. BAINES, the member for Leeds, were to. have moved and seconded in the House of . Commons laA • night, thanking HER MAJESTY for the Treaty of Com merce with .the French Emperor, had it been merely a Treaty of Commerce. But although it is ostensibly such,' it is impossible to separate it from political considerations which give f a character far beyond that which a mere Con - i mercial Treaty of itself can possess. No doubt it appears to be the introductiOn of a system calcu lated to promote a beneficial intercourse between Great Britain and'France, 'and lead to the eaten- lion of trade and manufacture's. As a Treaty of Commerce such would be its tendency. But, we repeat, it is to be taken as the indication of an alliance with one whOM it does not , become. British Government .to be allied with too closely; It is a Treaty which, on the face of ,it, affords evidence to Europe that :the Emperor of the French has strengthened his alliance with England. And thereY.can be no question that this circumstance has encouraged Louis NAPo LEON in his designs of aggrandisement,—at present as respects Savoy; and, not improbably,+ for an 'extension, of the territory of France to the banks of the Rhine, at some future periOrd. The case of the annexation of Savoy is very forcibly put by the Saturday Review'. "It was; after the proscriptive barter of art Austrian terri tory fdr a Sardinian province," says our able' 'contemporary, "that the Emperor' NAPOLEON a i rected to discover a cause of quarrel with the Power which he had already pledged himself to: 'despoil. The disreputable bargain was present to his memory when he assured Italy and Europe that he had gone to war without a thought ofd liar aggrandisement of the Empire. He was on' the eve of enforcing a contract which intervening event s had vitiated, when he boasted that France , alone among nations was capable of going to war . 14 1 an idea. The publication •of his piedatory intentions was reserved for the inevitable crisis, ill which an appeal to the national cupidity and 'vanity might serve to overpower the discontent - of the disappointed votaries of Rome. The teed purpose of spoliation has not been incom patible with, abundant variety in the methods ' w hich have been- successively, adopted by the Imperial plunderer. The wretched press of Paris Was at one time instructed to rely on the. divine mi ght of universal suffrage, accompanied by the ho ld assertion that the people of Nice and Savoy zecre unanimously aspiring to the honour of demand's aji°n into France. _The simultaneous that the Sardinian GovernMent sholhd interferewas ° protect the free will of the population, sin g u larly c h arac t er i s ti c o f th e h a ppy coun t t 'y an at ona7:edh the representatives of the people are by the Home Office. It was not until e S&Xo had publicly protested against the misrepresentation of their 'wishes, that the confident appeal to popular suffrage was iithdrawn,- to make room for political - reasons founded on the geographical configuration of the coveted territory. It became necessary for France to take precautions against 'the Possible hostility of regenerated Italy.' The prejudices of a few unenlightened moun taineers must give way to diplomatic neces sities arising from the balance of power." row, in such a case as this, it must be evident to every one taking the trouble to look below the surface of things, that it was' of the greatest importance to LOUIS NAPOLEON to strengthen his alliance with England; and it was not unnatural that his endeavour to do so with " a nation of shopkeepers" should be made by an overture of s, commercial e4racter. Nothing, the wily Potentate thought, might wake Engli s h politicians less than tonally disposed to watch his Imperial ambition with jealousy, if not to .silence the national opposition to his predatory . ,4esigns, than such an overture. ,cannot;, -with any truth, be pretended that -the designs .of the Tench Emperor upon Savoy were not 'known. 'when . the Treaty of commerce was planned.. On the contrary, it is shown by the correspondence between her Majesty's Government and the Governments of the Emperor -of the French and the King of Sardinia, on the subject, that our Foreign Secretary was in commtaication with the English Ambassador at Paris upon it, so long ago as hat y; when the latter was informed. by Lord iOltN RUSSELL, that Her Majesty's Go l'ernment- had learned with extreme concern, that the question of annexing Savoy to France had been in agitation; adding, , that " i if ( Sav r ox should b e annexe d to France, it would general supposed that the left bank of the Rhine and the natural limits' would be the -next object; and thu s th e Emperor would become. an object Qf suspicion to Europe, and kindle the hostility or which his uncle was the victim." Such was the opinion expressed by Lord. JOHN RUSSELL) and doubtless conveyed to the French Emperor, so long ago, we say, as last July. And there n be no doubt that this opinion would trouble his Imperial Majesty considerably. Ilia first concern would be, to contrive some Means Of. neutralising such an opinion; and the e4 Pedient he had recourse to, was that of this Treaty of commerce. It is true, that Lord JOHN RUSSE L L still professes to be as much averse as gi ber t o the annexation of Savoy to France. And 110 wonder, since he declares that he is well aware how the question of such an annexation must be regarded in Europe,—"not so much as composing Past troubles, as raising elements for new storms,' the Emperor, in short, through Lord 00'wLEY at Paris, that " the natural. frontiers — the Alps and the Rhine—the repetition of the history of long and bloody wars—the commence ment of a new struggle between France and, E 'trop e such . are the ideas which • would pass through men ' s minds at the announcement -of s4cb an e.eqy.sition." And such, doubtlesS,. are the ideas now Passing through' men's minds on the Continent of Europe. If* such. ideas are not passing through the minds of EngliSlimen also, it can only_be accounted for on th e gr ound of this Treaty.of Comtnerce, which has evidently had the effect already of making too many of our c0m1 . . - t rYmen. klind to the faults of Louts NAPO-J= ol 'r, and indifferent to his ulterior and most ambitious designs. So that his Imperial Majesty has a lready gained two objects by what he has done, ' ••••+ only been encouraged by the con -he has n,, §9ieusness that he • has strengthened his alliance with Enemd,. but that, as well as having pro pitiated, he haa 41A -winked, Englishmen; and thereby, if not silenced, at Lys mitigated an °PPosition to his present scheme of aatle*?• 63ll, Which otherwise might have had the effeFt of deterring, or obstruetin; him in its, accom plishment. The _Perthshire Courier tells of a widower in that locality, on the wrong side of fifty, and with a smell family - , who, desiring a young wife, advertised for one in the London papers. He received a host of answers, and wrote to request a personal interview with one of his correspondents.

The Moniteur of to-day announces that, yesterday, the Minister of the United States presented his letters de creance. The Constitutionnel publishes as article, signed by its chief editor, M. Grandquillot, explaining the French policy in Italy. In mentioning, the solution proposed in the message of M. Thouvenel, M. Grandquillot says, if it is not a Sardinian solution it is an Italian one. Sardinia' will possess in Tuscany an ally who will aid her to overcome the opposition of Naples and Rome, in order to constitute the Italian nation with 'the concur rence of all its nationalities, and not an Italian kingdom absorbing everything without considering the essential differences, the opposing interests, and the distrust of Europe. CONTINENTAL POLITICS. • The Herald asserts that we have to deal with. a future full of peril to Italy, to England, and to Europe ; with an actual crisis which calls for all the prudence and vigilance of her Majesty's Ministers. The recent change,s iyhich ha v e taken place the Italian policY o f t h e Empergi'of ti4q . Fren4h have not beeu. brought aboht without Mature deliberati on , o n the part 01 the keea diplomatist, or without a severe struggle in his councils. The Herald is informed that within the last full/light 1%1.. Thouvenel -Lae Once not twice tendered his resignation to the Emperor, and that it is impossible 4e e au continue to bold offi ce an o t h er wee k . The reason as signed for M. Thouvenel's retirement is the shifting policy of his sovereign . If M. Th ouvenel retires, his successor must be M. Walewski, and the advent of that minister to power will inevitably lead to the renewal of the cor diality between France and Austria, based upon the, convention of Villafranca. Already there are ominous symptoms of such a tendency, th e result of which will be the effectual isolation of this country from Europe, and the complete ascendancy of France over Northern Italy. A.

I attended the French Protestant Church. The form of worship is very much like the Presbyterian, and the minister, after preaching for about fifteen minutes i ptopped rather abruptly, pronounced a word which I took to be allez, and sat down. Immediately, the whole eongregatiOn, which had hitherto been extremely quiet and attentive, appeared to be seized with fits of Coughing, sneezing, and expectoration--some blew their noses, soma WA, snuff. By . degrees the noises ceased, and, after an interval of about five minutes, the minister resumed his discourse and finished it without interruption. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.-YESTERDAY The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition,frpm Nottingham, praying teat the lace.manufacturers might be brought under the' operation of the Factories Act. The petition protested against the overworking of women and children in these factories, He gave uotice of his intention to introdu'ce a motion on the subject. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that the manufacturers would, he believed, meet the motion in a proper spirit. He also gave notice that, in the event of the address in the Commons on the subject of the French Treaty being agreed to by that House, he should propose a similar address, if possible, on Friday; if not, upon Monday, according as the debate in the Commons was adjourned or not. Earl GREY declared his intention to oppose the address, The Duke of NEWCASTLE then fixed Monday. The Joint Stock Companies Bill was read a third time and passed. The Sale of Poisons Bill was read a second time. The House adjourned at twenty minutes to six. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-YESTERDAY Mr. HARKEY asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the provisions of the French treaty apply to French colonies in respect of duties upon British goods imported by those colonies, and if goods be shipped to Bourbon, Martinique, &c., ;frem England or from an English colony, will they be admitted on the same terms as if shipped to France. Lord J. RUSSELL replied in the negative to the latter part of the question. The provisions of the treaty did not• 'apply to any of the French colonies except Algeria. He hoped, however, that arrangements would be made before long for extending to the colonies the provisions of the treaty. He stated that the question of the export of rags had been brought before the French, Government, which had decided on recommending to the Ugislative , Chamber the abolition of the existing prohibition. In reply to Mr. H. Baillie, Mr. S. HERBERT said that the trial of the Whitworth gun had been most satisfactory, bat that the Armstrong gun would be used without water by the introduction of a lubricating cartridge for cleansing it. At present, it was intended to invite Mr.. Whitworth to send his gun to Shoeburyness, there to be compared with that of Sir W. Armstrong. The report of the Customs t :bets having been brought Lord PALMERSTON moved the postponement of the order of the day, to permit 'Mr. Byng to bring forward 'his motion for en address to the Crown on the subjectl Of the Commercial Treaty. Mr. Ktsnatsica opposed the proposition. The treaty drew cl4ser the bonds of friendship betweei lii;unee ;la England, and it would be' trifling with that great' subject if they voted an address without knowing previously the relation of the two countries at the: present moment. He could not understand the lan- , guage of the Emperor on the subject of the annexation ; it was ambiguous. ',Let him once declare that he would not annex Savoy without the consent 9f the great' powers and they might proceed at once to the discussion. of the treaty. Mr. Bain} said that in deference, to the will of the. House be would postpone his motion till Thursday. • Lord PALMERSTON ti)R4 withdrew hi tmotion. ! Mr. DISRAELI thought the motion should lie 49layed till FridaY; expressing his satisfaction that they were; not then called upon to come to a definite vote. Some debate then arose as to the day on which thei motion was to be brought forward. The CIiANVELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that Thurs- 4 day was I4kel), not for the convenience of the Govern ment, but of the' Country. Mr. S. FITZGERALD objected to such an address being agreed to as binding our alliance with France closer in the face of her projects with regard to Savoy, which he believed would 'be ruinous, to the peace of Europe. • Mr. BRIGHT protested against thus mixing up the question of the treaty and the annexation. If gentle men opposed felt as strongly on the latter subject, why did they not fairly and openly raise the question. They were imperilling the alliance with gauge, and there. fore the peace of Europe for a party object of which they ought to be ashamed. After some remarks from Mr. Liddell, Mr. WarrEslnE denied the imputation cast upOn the opposition, and admitted that as far as he had read the despatch, he approved of the conduct of Lord John Mr. B. OSEORNE declared the language Mr. B. Fitzgerald' highly dangerous to 'our relations With France. Were they to turn the treaty inte an accasa tion of war, or at least enmity between - the two - cotingles, which they were risking by their present conduct. What they ought to was to strengthen the hands of the Government in their endeavour to prevent the annexation of Savoy. Mr. 4tlEipicx said, that he was most anxious for the success of the treaty4.thig he bad his own opinion on the subject of Savoy, and felt that it was a Tatter in which they were not only to consider the danger, bat the honour of England. We should be truckling and base and not England if we stood by while the Emperor, making us his friend, was breaking the faith of treaties. Ire admired the. courage of the Emperor of the French in confronting at 0109 the priests and the protectionists of his own country ; but - wha,t lite was Tiow doing was disgraceful and dishonourable. He asked Savoy for geographical ,reasons, could be not ask the. Rhenish provinces on the same grounds.? He could not forget that the Emperor endeavoured to form an alliance with thp despots of Europe, and when he failed he turned once more to England. He was most anxious to close with the treaty, if he could; hat the wagon of Savoy ought to be first discussed. Re thought that the language of Lord J. Russell on the late negotiations was worthy of his position and his country, and only demanded that the House of Commons would confirm that language by a firm confession of its own opinion. After some FeMarks from Mr. Conyngham, Lord J. Itassm, said that, if any UleMber wished to take the question Out of the hand's of the Government, and place it into other hands, lie might endeavour to persuade the House to adopt that course, but it was as unconstitutional as it was dangerous to review, day after day, these irregular discussions coming to no decision; and proposing HO definite resolution. He differed from the Emperor in his views respecting the annexation ; lie had never shrunk from , expressing that difference, and the consequence of the annexation. The Emperor had since tleelared that he would consult the Great Powers, and that he will not Make a military occupation of the capital of Savoy. It was not as yet known 'how 'the Great Powers would be consulted. Tho British qeyern 'ilea, and Parliament, and people, have spoken; the rest of Europe had not spoken, although he had little doubt what the opinions of the powers were. But was it at such a time that they ought to cone to precipitate resolutions? If Vienna, Berlin, si. Petersbilrg, cieblaxed agaiast the resohitiou, he was poqyi4co4 it would not be persisted in. Sardinia, itself the power most interested, had not spoken. If they could not as yet speak more definitely on the subject they ought to consider the Commercial Treaty on its own grounds, as developing the industry of the two nations, and, by binding closer their union, preventing the calamities of war. He protested against any proposal for, coming to a definitive resolution at the present time as likely to lead to mischievous results, Lord AfalinesMiry had, when office, been informed that the subject of the annexation had been mooted, but he did not appear at that time to to be very anxious 'about it. Ile hiuoelf was as anxious as any man for the honour of Eyelid, but be protested against these irritating, nseless,'lß4 irregular discus sions After some remarks from Lord T. Manners, Mr. Newdegate, Mr. Bentinek, and Mr. Stirling. Mr. COLLIER said that Mr. Lindsay had proposed a motion of great importance as an amendment to the address to the effect that an effort be made to induce the Emperor of the French to relax the restrictions of the Navigation Laws of the country. He trusted that an opportunity would be given to his hon. friend to bring forward this important question. Lord PALMERSTON said that the Government would have no objection to a course which might strengthen the hands of the Government in its negotiations with France. The motion of Lord Palmerston was then withd rawn . postponed till T hursday, the committee on the Customs Acts. uo rr u h s: e th A e d 4 d i r y e e s i s l t into o g On the Question of the reductio n o f t h e duty on wood, Colonel 1 . 4 1 5 4 t he question of clravback.

Resolutions repealing the duty on a variey of minor articles, and reducing it on currants, figs, wood, and malt, and repealing the prohibition on importation of the latter article were agreed to. The House then went into Committee of Ways and Means, and passed a resolution granting a drawback of 2d. a-gallon upon raw, and 3d. upon rectified spirits. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the second reading of the Savings Bank and Friendly Societies Investment Bill, the object of which is to give the depositors an absolute right on the Exchequer for the repayment of their advances, and further limits the power of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to apply the without the consent of parliament. money of these banks and societies to the payment of sidered that it must be' amended committee: : Mc i n 1 , 4 t ENLEX gc: Chancellor of the Exchequer made the bill much too large.

The learned recorder said much con-. flitting evidence was offered as to the value of these premises,, estimated as a warehouse for general purposes; but they could not be so used, and the question there fore was what they were worth yearly tbr the secial and exclusive purpose of receiving tobacco in bond. The leasee had informed him on oath, that there was an actual lass on his first vearis tenffney of 018 13s. now when he (the learned recorder), considered the expense and trouble of management,' and the great responsibility of the concern in which the lessee gave a bond of £lO,OOO for the due payment of the customs dtity, it seernedto him thattheactual rentof 44,000 a year was it the criterien of ato therefore , in h is pidg ment the asse,ssment should be rednce,d aceordingly; so that deduCting 'as usual' 19 per cent. £3.660 would be the amount on which the rate should be assessed, instead o f £5,000' as 'deeided' hy the magistrates.

CORRESPONDENCE. [We do rot hold ourselves responsible for the opinions of our correspondents.) LOSS OF THE HUNGARIAN. TO THE EDITOR OF ' THE DAILY TIMES, SIR,—In reporting the loss of the Hungarian in your impression of this date,.you state that five steamers of the line have now been lost,which is altogether erroneous. The first steamer' lost was the Canadian, which, on a calm clear evening; in .the summer of 1857, was run ashore close under a lighthouse, about fifty miles helow QuebeC,'through the gross carelessness of- the pilot, for which the pilot's license was withdrawn for life. All the passengers and nearly all the cargo was saved. The second steamer lost was the Indian, in November last, in a dense fog on the coast of Nova Scotia, through defective and erroneous soundings on the chart.e. The captain was honourably acquittelby the Board of Trade: The third and last loss was that of the unfortunate' steamer now referred to. Hoping you will, in justice give publicity t o thi s COT rection. of .an error into which . you must have been inadvertently led,—We are, sir, &c., ALLAN BnerrnEßS & CO.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES ; STR,—For the information of any, , of your readers who may hold stock in certain Fire Insurance Coin- 1 panics, I requeSt the favour of occupying a little of yutir valuable space. Preiious to May last the British Fire (Aces represented in Canada, were associated together for the 'purpose 'of protecting their . mutual interests, and of underwriting at a Seale of prices sufficiently remunerative to the companies concerned, and commensurate with the great risk incurred. The citizens of Montreal on the comp,letio,a gf their very efficient water works, seeius the risk thereby oonsi derablv lessened, latoraWr lop,ked for a reduction from the old rate,' hot winch request this associated board for two years sternly refused; whereupon a few influ ential merchants got an Act passed authorising the formation of the " Metrop o lit an Fi re Insurance -Com pany of Montreal," with a view of creating an oppekition to this monopoly. Some commercial houses in Montreal induced a few American offices totunbp,r.k in anadian business, who k , althcaigh onderwritii* at a 10,wvr scale . of p,ricleft than their British compeers, made little headway, as Canadians , nnt little faith in such instZtgtja s, On; the 'lSt tray l4st, the rate at length was reduced 24 per cent., and with which reduction the public were: fully satisfied ; but to render the business so unprofitable that American offices would leave the field the British offices have.further seduced the rate 20 per eeAt t This foolish throwing: away of premium cannot have the desired effect ‘ .

WAralanosAng and re-exportation." r'estrtctioos are placed upon their import into France from this country. This convention was signed on the 20th January, 1826, and on the Bth February of the awe year the King of France issued an ordinance in accordance therewith, and containing the. collowing article':--=-" Article 3—The products, of 414ra,'Africa, auk America imported from anx eouniry whatever in 'British vessels ; of. ‘hipped On hoard any French or other vessels in a Part of the British dominions in Europe, shall not, from the sth April next, be admitted in France for consumption in our kingdom, but ,only for deposit and re-exportation." At this period, then, the trade of both conntriies was on an equal footing, whatever. goo.* could fa r e shipped from one countryto'the other conk he shipped on equal erns vessels, o€• either country, neither country coulcl,b,y any possibility impose a differential duty in favour of.tliei own ships, as against the shipping of the other ()gantry ; but there were certain articles which could not be imported into either country from the other, excepting for re-exportation. - In 1849 we abrogated all restrictive planes in our Navigation Laws, and consequent this prodtice,.which before could not he inAncrted into this country from France, became. a legal import, though the same produce continued to be excluded from entering France from our ports ; but the present Emperor, by an ordinance dated the 10th May, 18.54, decreed as follows :—" The .provi sions contained in article 3 o f the ordinanQa February, 1826, are, and rernaibp abrogated." And from, that time all produce lA4s, gone from this country WO France on equal terms, whether in French or ships, and the Emperor has no power whatever to place any differential duties in favour of his own shipping. He may again prohibit the importation o these articles ; but if he admits them at all to, be. indirectly imported from this cotintrx, he caun.ot make any difference in favour of bis, own slipping. Mons. Eouheral letter to, the Emperor, and a notice that has rarely appeared in the Iffonitow, placing a duty of af. pAr. 10Q kilogrammes on cotton imported indirectly into Prance in French ships, and IW. per 100 kilogrammes if in foreign ships, have, by some parties, been con sidered to favour a different construction ; but a moment's consideration will show that this is, ,turf the case. By the same notice, it is said, maw; imported from countries out of Europe is 0, to exempt from' duty, if imported in French 413,ips. Now, we know that cotton iiripor,lo from, America, although it i s no t so, aiatei, wi t il he equally exempt from duty if brought in American vessels, because the Americans have a treaty, placing their ships on equal terms with the French vessels iu the direct trade between America and France; and is it nut clear, there fore, as we have a similar treaty ob, regard to our direct trade, although nod „expressed in so many words, yet that in the, trade from this country to France., our ships will bp counted as French ships. What, then, is the meaning of Article i in the treaty ? Simply this, and no more than this;, that, as this is a treaty of commerce , betiikeen the two, nations; it explains that the Emperor, VA tie the duties men,tionexi In the ArticlesA and 2 of Ole treaty, shall, not be considered to have abandoned his right to place ditierential duties on these goptli, if imported:into, anee in ships which are neither French net f anyone, theii, has a right to complain of this article it is eleatly not the shipowner, for any differential duty which the Emperor may think proper to impose in faiour of his own ships, must be equally a protection in favour of ours. The course, then, which, it appears to me, the ship owners should take in this question is, to give their best assistance to the passing of the treaty, and the to peti tion our own Government to use their best endeavours to obtain from France some relaxation M her navigation laws, similar to that which they have been so fortunate as to gr4care in, her commercial code.

Fu,r many years the woman entertained a violent hatred of her husband, and she succeeded in inspiring her son with a similar sentiment. The two frequently threatened to put the man to death, and repeatedly ill-treated him in a brutal way, on one occasion tossing him out of the window. On the 22nd December last a neighbour heard the man cry out "Murder, help'" and on entering the house he found him struggling des perately with his wife and son. He resound an, and ,the man then stated that the two had thrown him down, and_had attempted to strangle him with a rope ;• - but that not succeeding in consequence of his resistance, one of them, he could not- say which, had endeavoured to cut his throat, but fortunately the knife had eneountered th,e rope, and did no harm.

At the same time that carries a wa y t h e super a little brOok has form ed, fluous water of the lake.
