ater*. There "applies were furnished in 1846, and there-
fore previous to the present government taking oaths. But
those meats were supplied un.ler Ooldner's contract. This
had given rise to much appritheeeion. He (Mir F. Baring)
did nut, however, participate altogether in those apprehen-
sions. The ni”this were put let. the ships at a period
when no oosispt whatever of MeGoldner had reached the
Admiralty, and there was therefore no reason for supposing
that rho supply was not perfectly sound and proper. In
support of this position be might adduce a eireunistance to
which nee renew had not sufficiently attended. Among
the remise sad aeon of Mir John Franklin's expedition
W4/4 14441110114 Geidraer canisters ; and sa, in each instance,
then erdstera were eantetotely emptied, he thought they

windy good. Ile kit, indeed, eonfident, from this and
ether elionmetoneee, particularly from the feet that at the
WO. SO semplaints bed been received, that the meats sup.
plied to the gallant officers and crew of that expedition
were quite good. With regard to the other expeditions, he
had to inform the beim that the oontraets were spatial
contracts, quits sot of the general practice of the
service; end the supplies, in those instances, were from
different sources, but on each oecasion were supplies
of the best meat that could be had. He was, however,
tarry to say, not fur himself, but fur the navy in general,
such was the present state of science in this respect, that
the Boa-d of Admiralty was not able to secure as good
a supply as they could wish of these stores of clod. They
had had, ainee Goldner's patent, different contract.,
dertaken by different persists • and they had found in-
variably the same results. fawn contractors were most
respectable persons, extremely anxious to do the best.
But it was a misfortune that the meat which they knew
on examination to be good would very soon afterwards,
from the imperfect expulsion of the air, turn out to be
extremely bad and until for use. It was et present out of
their power to prevent that. The general impression of
the house seemed to be that the meat obtained was bed
meat. But he begged that the house would understand,
and the fact would be clearly made out in committee, that
the discovery of anything had or improper in the canisters
was of extremely rare occurrence ; and where this did
occur it would be found to arise, not from the meat having
been originally bad, but from t 1;• good meat having been
corrupted by the admission of air. lie thought he had
now said quite sufficient The right hoe. baronet *included
by moving as an amendment on the motion for returns, that
the returns with respect to the salted meats should be from
1841 inelunive, and with respect to preserved meats from
1846 inclusive.

Colonel CHATTERTON had seeonded the motion of his
boo. friend, and wished now to make a few observations.
He hoped that the house would not 'appose that he was
acting in this matter under any local intluence, and he
wished it to be understood that he had given no advice to
his hon. friend in regard to making hie motion. But be
desired to draw a contrast between the conduct of this Hun-
garian Jew, Goldner, and that of another contractor, a
citizen of Cork, Mr. Gamble. This Goldner had had
the exclusive entreet with the government for five
years, and in me one instance had hie contract
bees carried out heseotly or faithfully. (Hear, hear.)
His anions had ben frequently found under weight—

The following circular has beenTHURaDAY
addrelsßsed by the
Minister of the Interior to the prefects :
Faris, b. 11.
Monsieur le Priffet,—You have been informeFe
d, by the
circular of my bola. predecessor, of the line of conduct which
you are to pursue at the coming elections.
It is not, as under preceding governments, by clandestine
influence, which debases men's characters and degrades their
consciences, that you have to exercise your action. Ender
the legitimate government of the elect of the people, the
time of intrigues and parliamentary corruption is Passed.
What you have to do at present you will du openly and be-
fore the world.
What Is, in fact, the political situation 1 The French
people has given to the nephew of the Enna:roe the
of making • constitution on certain determined basin; to
form a mieistry dependent only on the executive power; to
create a Senate selected from amongst the illustrious men
of the country; to organise a Council of State formed of
the principal political capacities; and finally, to convoke a
legislative body to be elected by universal euffraee. By a
single vote, clear, simple, sad understood by all, the people
consequently has itself created all the public pone.; sod
there only remains for it, in order to terminate its work, t.
name deputies to the Legislative liedy.
This second vote of the people, although infinitely less
solemn than the first, has, however, its impedance. The new
constitution undoubtedly does not permit those vain p trlise
meanie" agitations which have so lung paralysed the fortis
of the people; but it is nut sufficient to have reudered that
re:ginat powerless fur evil ; it Is avec-wary to make the go.
vernment powerful to do good. But good eauwe Lie dine
at present, except on one condition; and that ms, that the
Senate, the Council of State, the Legislative Body,
end the
administration be, with the chief of the state, in p. rfiet
harmony of ideas, sentiments, and interests; fur, it is unity
of views in the public powers which Klein cuustitutes the
strength and grandeur of nations.
In the elections now coming ou, the French peeplc has
consequently an important part to play. But on that (era-
sion what would nut be its embarrassment without the in-
tervention of the government. Bow could eight
electors come to an understanding to • istineuuh, amongst
so many candidates wuttliy of notice fur wary various rea-
sons of weight, 261 deputies, animated by the sine; epee;
devoted to the some interests, and alike lisp a. d to tem-
plete the popular victory of December 211? It is conse-
quently important that the Rover nt should enlighten
the electors on this subject. As it is evidently the desire of
the people to finish what they have commenced, the people
must be enabled to discern who are the friends and *how
the enemies of the government which has just been founiltd.
In consequi nee, Monsieur lc Peered, adopt nu aaures for
making known to the electors of each district of your di pan.
went, by the intermediation of the various agents of the ad.
ministration, by every means which you may deem attune-
ble, according to the feelings of the localities ; and, if acces-
sary, by proclamations posted up in the communes, the
candidate whom the government of Louis Napoleon Collkilltri
best calculated to aid it in its work of reparation.
I recommend you, above all, Monsieur le Prefet, to plate
the interests of the state above all permute' queetione the
government does not care about the previous political career
of the candidates who frankly and sincerely aecept the new
order of things ; but it calls un you, at the same time, not
to hesitate to warn the populations against thesr shune
known tendencies arc nut in the spirit of the new imita-
tions.

LONDON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13.

IN the discussions of most of our great railway meet-
ings there will be found some leading principle involved.
Thus, at assemblies of North 11 astern proprietors,
the main question is how to preserve from all en-
croachment the traffic which their priority of public
accommodation first bestowed on them; at the Great
Western, on the contrary, the point is how to obtain
for the broad gauge an entrance into the northern
districts of industrial activity ; whilst at the Great
Northern the principle usually contended for is free-
dom of locomotion, uninterrupted by external alliances,
between the shortest paints of railway communica-
tion. In like manner, the Midland, the Eastern
Counties, and the Brighton, have generally
one similar leading thought to consider and discuss,
and, at the South-Western half-yearly meeting yes-
terday, the question in hand was the important one
of directorial re-election.

Of all questions that shareholders can deal with
this is, perhaps, the most practical. On the policy
of their corporation, the working of their line, the
expenditure of their capital, the regulation of their
truthe, and the choice of their servants, railway pro-
prietors can exercise very little control. They
can, of course, censure, denounce, and vociferate
at public meetings ; but without much effect
on their boards. For, except on such larger
questions as additional capital, new leases, and
further extensions, public meetings of railway. com-
panies have very little power. The law has given—
what the necessities of the business of railways re-
quire,--authority to directors largo enough to turn
the fortunes of their companies before shareholders
can interfere with or arrest their proceedings. Hulce
reproach and change. of directors are all that pro-
prietors can indulge in. And even as relates to the
latter, the law gives shareholders very moderate op-
portunities and restricted means.
It is only once a year that the composition of rail-
way boards can be discussed; and then it is only
one-third of the board that the question of retire-
ment affects. Practice, too, (quite as powerful in such
matters as law) has further limited popular power;
for the habit of re-election, not; perhaps, contem-
plated by law, has become a matter of course ; and
in the majority of cases all the influence of the re-
maining directors is exercised in favour of their out-
going colleagues. The pretensions of independent
shareholders to take part in the management are
resented as hostility and censure; and a civil war
ragei on a point about which it is really very like
distatien for directors to utter an opinion.
Where, then, shareholders have so few powers,
they sem* be too jealous of those they possess;
and whets direetors have such large authority, they
cannot bi too careful not to trespass on the preroga-
tives of their constituents: The wont of all spirts in
shareholders is that of unreasonable dissatisfaction
and of systematic opposition; but the most per-
nicious of all defects in directors is the
animus of " cliquerie". It is very natural and
proper far men directing the affair of a great
wimpy to be cordially united, to have em-
press& respect, and to regret unnecessary separation.
Whin, however, they combine to perpetuate their
own power, they lose that independence of indivi-
dual thought and conduct ; they denude themselves
of that personal dignity and self-respect which are
the surest guarantees of their fitness and purity ;
they encourage suspicions as to their motives which
excite and prolong internal discords ; they deprive
themselves of the respect and confidence of their
executive officers, without which there can be no
unit and energy of conduct • they cease to be re-
sar m the properly supported organs of their cor-
poration, and so encourage the intrigues and designs
of rival companies • and they become rather the
leaden of a cabal tha'n the comprehensive directors
of the general interests of a great concern.
A true director is he who accepts heartily the
spirit of the law. It places the power of his appoint-
ment in the shareholders, and then it ought to be
uncontrolled by board influences. His re-election is
a question in which neither he nor his colleagues
ought to take the smallest active interest ; it ought
not to be re-sought ; just claims to re-election will
not be overlooked. Improper pretensions alone
are usually promoted by a canvass. Not to be
re-elected forms no ground of complaint, and the
choice of constituent.. ought to be accepted
without a murmur or reproach. Experience
in management is useful, no doubt ; but we so
small a proportion of the direction is yearly changed
there can be no want of experienced men left in
office, and able to instrust those newly-elected—and ,
elected, too, because they are free from old influences.
Nor is gratitude for past services to be pushed to
such an extent as to involve an abrogation of the
most useful powers shareholders enjoy—the free
choice of their own managers.
The great defect of railway constituents is apathy.
They are rarely roused except by a generally preva-
lent sense either that there is something very wrong
or something that might be very much improved in
their affairs. And the existence of this feeling of
uneasiness is generally the best of all grounds for a
change of directors ; for without it, the uneasiness
will, probably, end in disorganisation and weakness.
The perpetual expression of want of confidence in
directors by leading shareholders at public meetings
penetrates perniciously every branch of the com-
pany's service; it reaches every porter on the line;
and thus internal discords prejudice and diminish
the public convenience. It paralyses the direction
itself; good measures are avoided, bad ones rushed
into; the rolling stock is de ted, working ex-
penses are increased, and ldere—as well as the
public—suffer.
Just, however, as the spirit of cabal may penetrate
railway boards, so the spirit of faction may possess
dissatisfied shareholders ; and in getting rid of old
directors, new ones obi iously unqualified by temper
and by violence may be chosen. A man may be
well fitted to criticise directorial reports, and to
bead an opposition in general meetings, without
being possessed of the business habits, the cool deli-
berate judgment, and the strict Impartiality, so
needful for railway boards. And such a man will
never be more ill-placed there than when the affairs of
the company are not presided over by a gentleman of
large public experience and of justly commanding
I influence.

How far these remarks may find illustration in
the proceedings of the meetings now in progress, we
leave our readers to say ; convinced that in this, as
in most other questions, the side of popular control is
tho side of good administration and of public
advantage.

It is well understood, hi-sides, that you arc not to do any-
thing which can embarrass or trammel in any way the ex-
ercise of universal suffrage. All candidate' ought to be
allowed to come forward freely ; and the Prince President
would consider the honour of his government Attalla, dif
the slightest impediment was thrown in the way of tree
voting.
Receive, Monsieur le Prefet, the assurane- of my most
distinguished consideration. F. Mt PEIthIONT.
The above circular is naturally the leading
topic of political conversation. If a total absence
of shame can palliate oppression the boost of the
minister of the interior that the government pre-
fers to violate the independence of election openly
instead of secretly, might be reassuring. But if
liberty is to be min dered it matters little to this un-
happy country whether the deed be done in open
day or in the dark. M. de Persigny closes with an
' injunction to the prefects to do nothing which can
trammel or embarrass in any way the exercise of
universal suffrage. Yet the whole circular consists
in orders to do everything which can protect, to nee
his phrase, the people against independent candi-
dates. While no meetings of these independent
electors♦ are allowed, no addresses nor circulars emit-
ting from these permitted to be printed, the name of
the government candidate is to be posted up at ere 7
turn, and every sort of effort made to secure his
election.

I have previously alluded to the report that M. de
Morny was to be appointed president of the Legis-
lative Body. It is said that a salary of 100,00ufr.
' will be attached to this office. Meanwhile I hear
that M. de Morny is to come forward as candidate
' for the Ist arrondissement. On the other hand the
opposition have decided, it seems, to make a demon-
stration by voting for General Changnrnier. In the
3rd arrondissement M. Billault is spoken of as the
government candidate. Mortimer-Ternaux is to take
the field against the advocate of Nantes. M. Berger,
the prefect of the Seine, is exerting himself im-
mensely to ward off the blow aimed against the go-
vernment by returning General Changarnicr for the
arrondissement in which he was made prisoner on
the 2nd of December. If the candidature of the
exile succeed, the prefecture of the Seine will pro-
bably pass into other hands.
I have procured, through the obliging mediation
of a friend, the following letter, addressed by M.
Berryer, declining to stand for the Boucles-du-
Ithone, which he has represented for the last twenty
years in various parliaments :
Augerville•la-Riviere, Thursday, Fib. 5, 1852.
My dear Surian,—The decree defining the new electoral
districts has just been published, awl the day of the
elections is fixed fur the 29th of this month. Several per-
sons, like you, have asked me whether I shall be among the
candidates who will present themselves in the department
of the Bouches-du-Ithone, and some journals have even
lately announced that I should put myself upon the list.
As I have already written to you, I am quite decided
neither to solicit nor to accept any candidature.- In taking
this resolution, I do not obey any resentment of Ike. 2.
For the last 40 years I have devoted all the efforts of my
understanding t the service and defence of the fundamen-
tal principles of our old French society. I shall sow no
more desert the cause of public liberties than I shall betray
my faith and my fidelity to the principle of traditional so-
vereignty, which I consider more than ever as the most na-
tural, the most powerful, and the most stable guarantee of
a vies and loyal exercise of these liberties. What should I
then do in the new Corps Legialalisf, from which pootical
vitality is entirely withheld, sad in which I should find
neither the public action nor the independence which the
revolutions of 1830 and 1848 did not take away from us.
It is with pain, my friend, that I again become a stranger
to the people of the booth, who to my great honour adopted
me an a countryman, and that I abandon that national tri-
bune which long labour and my sincere patriotism bare
rendered dear to my recollections. You will understand
that the sadness of my regrets has causes more
oriented than the feeling of my personal position.
Caa I, without grief and without uueasiswee, see France
proscribe by so many millions of votes the rights and insti-
tutions necessary to the power and dignity of Christian
nations, as she has disowned the tutelary force and benignant
majesty of a royalty of fourteen centuries ? May Ood pre-
serve our country from the shams and misery which I
dread fur her! Adieu, my dear Surian. Commueicate my
letter to all the people of Manwilles whe may yet veal*
you of me.—Mulles amities.

The Vicomte do rEpine, an ultra-Bonapartist
writer in the Moniteur Parisien' is spoken of as the
government candidate in the 10th arrondissement.
It is said to-day that M. de Montebello, who was
