M. le klinistre,—lmmediately after having received the
despatch your excellency did me the honour to forward
on the 29th November, I hastened, agreeably to its in-
struotiona, to address to the Queen's Chief Secretary of State
an official note bringing to his knowledge that, availing
itself of the privilege contained in Att. 4 of the extradi-
tion convention of February 13, 1843, the Emperor's
government had determined to give notice of the termina-
tion of the treaty, which would in consequence cease
to be in force six months after this declaratioe. I have
the honour to forward a copy of my note of the 4th Dec.
I should have sent it to your excellency earlier, if I bad
not hoped to be able to append the acknowledgment
of its reception at the Foreign-office. Bat Earl
Clarendon whom I recently reminded of this
matter verbally, and who considers the expiry
of the treaty as notified in due form, begged me to await
his reply a short time longer, es he was under the neces-
sity of agreeing upon it with the Home Secretary.—Be

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nor OUR OWN 00111ZISPORDENTA
PARIS, TOZSDAT Emma.

Some interesting sparring took place in the Corps
Legielatif yesterday on a very serious question of
constitutional law raised by the election of K
Larrabure for Pan, or rather by the circumstances
under which he resigned his seat for Orthez. The
great battle, however, will come off on the " verifi.
cation of powers" of K Chesnelong, the member-
elect for Orthez ; for it turned out that both sides
of the house, though for widely different reasons,
voted that K Larrabure was duly elected for Pau.
After K Larrabure had taken his seat, the case
of M. Fremy, the new member for the Yonne, was
called on. He was objected to on the ground that
be is governor of that powerful financial company
the Credit Fonder, a place to which he was ap-
pointed by the Emperor, a place from which the
Emperor might dismiss him to-morrow, and which
yields him a salary of 40,000 fr. The law says that
no " paid functionary" is qualified to sit in the
chamber. The government answer to the objection
to that K Fremy is sot a paid InootionarY,
because, although be owes his place to the Empe-
ror, and holds it at the Emperor's pleasure, the
funds which pay him come not from the state, but
from the treasury of the Credit Fonder. The re-
spectable minority of 45 deputies voted against this
sophistical reasoning, and in the minority was K
Emile 011ivier, who had formerly committed him-
self to an opinion on the point by arguing against
the validity of the election of K Sonbeymud,
sub-director of the Credit Fonder.

The most important thing that strike* me in
the yellow book, after the Mexican despatches,
which were for the most part well known
before, is a declaration by K Dronyn de
Lhuys in a despatch to the French minister at
Florence that the distinct intention of the Frenoh
government is that as the result of the convention
of Sept. 15 there shall be " two sovereignties "
in Italy—that of the kingdom of Italy and that
of the Papacy within its present reduced limits.
This is no doubt a manifestation in favour of the
temporal power ; but still the omission of the word
"temporal " in the Emperor's speech shows that,
whatever his ministers may say, he shrinks from
committing himself upon that point.
The Bourse was again very firm. I actually saw
commercial letters from London read on the steps
of the Bourse, stating that there was a diplomatic
rupture between England and the United States,
and that war was expected. Bat this absurd super-
fetation upon a motion rejected by the Senate of
Washington produced no serious effect. Bente
rose sc. for cash and 2}c. for account, closing at
681 r. 60c. and 68fr. 57ic. Mobilier rose 12fr. 50c.

Though believing that under existing circumstances the
relations of the Dorsetshire labourer to his employer, as
described by Earl Shaftesbury, are not only necessary but
the best that could be inaie—the Times nevertheless
characterises them as constituting • mild species of serf-
dom, and remarks that no commercial enterprise carried on
upon such a system could stand the competition of per-
fectly free labour and money wages. If the supposed reci-
pient of 9r. • week, with the allowances, perquisites, and
opportunities described by the noble earl, were offered Ifs.
a week, and nothing else, be would snatch at the offer, but
very soon find himself oonsiderably worse off ; indeed, going
to the bad altogether. He would spend all his money
in winter, and grumble at not having more in harvest time.
He would sorely miss garden or " &Lott:tent." He would
always be wanting something extra for tho least
extra work, When the rain or the wind came in at
his roof, his windows, or hie door, when the chimney
refused to draw, and the floor was flooded, he would
look about in vain for the intervention of the bailiff with
his staff of builders and carpenters. He would be sur-
prised to find what rent stands for when it is commercially
calculated upon the actual cost of the cottage. In fact,
he would find himself a free labourer in the open
market, like a bricklayer's labourer, or as a "n at ►y,"
and no longer • predial servant. Bat it cer-
tainly is rather curious, amounting to • na'ioaal
paradox, that just at a time when slavery is re-
ceiving its last condemnation by the civilised world, when
the commerce of mankind is more and more on the exact
principles of political economy, and when we are all seriously
considering how fa we may extend household suffrage and
include the working classes in the pale of the constitution,
we should find ourselves estimating the condition of our
agricultural labourers precisely as we should that of an
African slave in the Southern States ; for in discussing the
question of slavery its opponents have always concluded
that no amount of domestic care was equivalent to the full
money wages, which make a man every now and then the
possessor of a sum of ready money, and so really his own
master.

IRISH DISAFFECTION.

The Daily News finds in the evidence which Fenianism
affords of social divisions in Ireland, of the unabated mutual
animosity of the several classes of the Irish poplation, and
especially of the wide gulf which divides the owners from
the cultivators of the soil—its most lamentable feature,
though one 'bids cannot give surpriseto thoeewho have read
Irish history or who know human nature. The instances are
numerous in which, under just and generous treatment, a
conquered people has become heartily one with its sub-
jugators. But few cases can be pointed to in which this
result has been at'ained when the victorious power has
employed ■s the instrument of its role an ascendant
minority of the subdued population itself. This, uefortn-
tunately, has been the plan which has been adopted for
eight hundred years in Ireland, end which has not yet been
wholly discontinued. Orangemen are attached to England
mainly is the power which keeps them uppermost. When-
ever protestant ascendancy is threatened, orange loyalty is
for the time suspended. After referring to recent speeches
at Belfast on the orange side, and to Alderman Dillon's
address on the other, as showing that extravagance and
uncharitable feeling are not restricted to one party or pro-
vince in Ireland, the Daily News deduces the moral that
the internal dissensions of the country must be healed be-
fore she can assume her proper place in the imperial sys-
tem, and that this cannot be until the principle of go-
vernment by alternate fuouririem is ab indeed. Until the
policy of perfect equality between the churches, and of
equitably revising the social relations of the several clause
in Ireland, has been adopted, the day will still be distant
when, as Sir Boyle Roche anticipated, " the two sisters
shall embrace like one brother."

PARIS, FRIDAY Evwxo.

It is reported this evening that the amendment
relative to Schleevrig-Holstein, supported, among
other deputies, by M. Emile 011ivier, found so
much favour in the house that it was thought
expedient to refer it to the committee on the
address, with a view to an amendment of their
draft.

The opposition now ditiorcle. as it is said, in
all directions. The rising tide is so formidable
that the government is at its wit's end how to meet
it. Hence the instructions, " Least said soonest
mended," to M. Rouher this session.
Nancy, the most courtly metropolitan country
town in France, and in all respects one of the

present at the rejoicings, and that the see of Nancy
will be erected into an archbishopric on the oc-

THE UNITED KINGDOM' ALLUNCI.

• •
Yesterday evening a public Meeting of
members and friends of this association during the
Working Men's Exhibition, was held at the Agrictural-
hall, Islington, in rapport of the permissive bill movement.
The chair was taken by Sir Gimes BROOKS PsoituA.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the • , dwelt on
the advantages of aseoala as seen in the • of the
repeal of the corn laws sad other important
Similar instrumentality was required to oppose the sin of
drunkenness. He bad no oonlideace in an appeal to per.
liament, though the House of Commons oece gave them a
fair and kind hearing. The beerocracy was too largely re-
presented in the lower chamber, and was too much under
the influence of the publicans. The best course for the
Alliance to minus was, he believed, to act unitedly for the
common object. Nearly all the advance hitherto made
was owing to that association ; and he believed the country
would ultimately owe to it the suppression of the liquor
tralllc. The question was whether the interest of the
brewers or that of the people of England should go the
wall, and there could be no doubt as to the proper
answer, Mr. Gladstone thought the revenue wo.dd suffer
1 by the success of their object, but he (the chairman)
ventured to say that there would be no permanent loss,
and he even doubted whether there would be a temporary
one. (Cheers.)
The Rev. Dr. BURNS moved the following resolution :
" Resolved, that in the opinion of this meeting no revision
of the licensing system will deal satisfactorily with the
public interests concerned which dose not make provision
for a popular veto on the issue of all licenses for the sale
of intoxicating liquors within parishes, townships, and
other districts." He joontended- that under the present
system the license laws were almost totally disregarded.
For example, they prohibited the sale of intoxicating
liquors to children, yet that regulation wee constantly
violated. No revision of those laws would go to the root
'of the evil and abolish what was desolating the land. The
lAlliance wanted to populatise the idea that the people of
livery district should have a veto as regarded the sale of
strong drinks. Magistrates did not, and in many cases
would not, know what they ought to do • and the people
I should have the power in their own hand/ (Cheers.) He
had no doubt that if the votes of the nation were taken,
the question would be passed by iive-sixths of the people.
I The resolution having been seconded by Mr. H. Threat,
and supported by Mr. J. Huiros, was put and carried una-
' nimotudy.
On the motion of Mr.J. R. TAYLOR, seconded by Mr. G.
DIRLST, it was further resolved, " That this meeting is
firmlymammon sale of intoxicating liquoes would be a suitable
act of public self-protetion, and would not unjustly inter-
; fere with personal liberty or commercial progress"
The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

Mwrox-TAROLootn SCHOOL, IstaNcioN.--On
Sunday last two sermons were preached in Holy Trinity
church, lalington, on behalf of funds for
the
this school, that
in the morning by the Rev. J. W. Bardsley,
and that in
evening by the Rev. C. R. Alford (Bishop designate of
Victoria). the president of the school, who, in an eloquent
and earnest sermon, pleaded the cause of this very excel-
lent and useful night ragged school, which, he said, was
" One of the very beet in London :" he gave an account of
the class in attendance, which showed that some of them
were children of parents who were blind, paralysed, in
lunatic asylums, fathers deserted the family, a number
fatherless and some orphans, and that numbers were re-
fused admission for the want of room. The school is a
great favourite with the Islington boys, they come from
all parts of it, and is the means of bringing together the
very poorest and uneducated. A very sad case was men-
tioned, in which a family of five children were made or-
phans within the last few days. About 3i years ago •
man resided with his wife and family in a street close to
the school : the husband was a mechanic, and he was doing
he, comfortably ;however, got into company that Was hi a
s
ruin, deserted hie wife and family, enlisted for
soldier, and was sent off to India where hto bringe shortlyup dithe
ed.
The woman, having no one to help her
family, went out to do a ,sheday ashing or cleaning to
those that would employ her eldest girl, about 19
years old, was occasionally employed as a needlewoman.
On last Sunday week, while speaking to one of the chil-
dren, the mother was 'suddenly seised with an epileptic
fit and died, leaving five children without any friend to
help them. The youngest is 3A year" old; the others 8,1?,
15, and 19. A number of boys from this school have gone tutu
the navy, and a very
_gratifying letter was read, which had
been received by Kr. Fraser from one of these lads, and
affectionately showed that they do not forget the kindness
they experience from those who take an interest in them.
the
Funds are very much needed, and at t time of
year left off clothing and coal and bread tickets would do
much good, and which it JR trusted that some of the
nada' of this may seed to the sagged school.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE INt3IIRRECTION IN SPAIN.

The Avenir National of this day says :—" The
eyes of all are turned towards Spain, but a thick
cloud intervenes which prevents us from discerning
what is taking place in that country. The govern-
ment declares that tranquillity prevails, and yet
General O'Donnell informs the Senate that a vast
conspiracy, extending throughout the entire of
Spain, has been organised. The government says
that the insurgents are flying on all sides, and
yet it makes formidable preparations, as if it had
to stop the progress of a victorious army.
The public mind is disturbed and uncertain,
and yet everything is done to prevent that com-
munication which could enlighten it as to the real
state of affairs. The telegraph is closed against
the public ; all information is stopped ; all cer-
tainty is excluded. This is a singular mode of
proceeding on the part of a government which is
sure of victory. Silence can only give strength to
the insurrection, and official mystery can only in-
crease its proportions. The only certain news which
' the latest despatches give is that Saragossa has been
placed in a state of siege."

MR. °WREN IN THE CABINET.

The Times offers its congratulations to Mr. Goechen on
his admission to the cabinet, having no doubt he will prove,
though placed on the soft sinecure cushion of the Duchy of
Lancaster, an able and zealous administrator, es he has
shown himself a liberal•minded politici►n. Even io his posi.
tion of " general utility man " in the cabinet, though it is a
difficult one for an unpractised statesman, he may perform
eminent services to the country. Mr. Gladstone is a great
financier, but he will be the better for a good
second in the cabinet. We are not so rich but
that thoughtful men may look with anxiety on
the immense expenditure of the army and navy ;
our administration is not so perfect but that many
believe India to require a reform which only a statesman
with strong understanding and a will of his own can
accomplish. The important questions lonnectixl with the
construction and management of railways, the supply of
water, the cleansing of our towns, and the whole subject
of the public health, require the action of a vigorous and
independent intellect of a kind which does not appear to
be common in the political world. Mr. Goschen takes a
place where there is no work ; but he must, nevertheless,
make work for himself, for there is plenty to be done in
the pantry, and not too many who are capable of aiding
in it.

The Star regards the appointment as highly creditable
to the sense and spirit of Earl Hassel. His lordship had
of late got melit for so complete se adhesion to the tra-
ditions of party that most people feared the one great diffi-
culty in the way of his cabinet would be his cold refusal to
recognise the possibility of finding administrative Went
outside the beaten way of whig family friendship.

THE MILITARY REVOLT IN SPAIN.
MADRID, JAL 7, 10 P.M.
_

The latest despatches received here state that
discouragement exists amongst the insurgents.
Their horses were in bad condition, and nowhere
did they meet with sympathy from the population.
General Prim is stated to have been to-day in
Villarubia de los Ojos de Guadiana. The Marquis
Duero had occupied Daimiel in order to force back
General Prim towards Madridejos, at which place
were stationed the forces under General Zabala.

It is thought that General Prim will disband his
forces and endeavour to gain the Portuguese
frontier.

Tranquillity prevails in the provinces. A rumour
baying been circulated that General Prim was
marching on Saragossa, a state of siege was pro.
claimed in that province. Madrid is quiet.

OUR REPORTS TO AMERICA.

The Times regards the magnitude of our present trade
with America as dangerous, because it is a trade conducted
almost wholly on credit. While exporters are pushing
their trade to the utmost, the importation of wheat and of
bullion and specie from the Union has declined—the
balance between the Union and ourselves remaining as •
debt, unless it has been indirectly paid by some third coun-
try, against which there has been a balance of exchange
with America. There is every reason to disbelieve this,
and the truth is that the Wanee hes been in part pro-
vided for by the purchase of Federal obligations on
this aide—in other words, by • permanent loan, and in
part by large extensions of credit on our exporters' books.
The exporters have been forced to have recourse to dis-
count houses in their turn, and as long as they did not, in
competition with foreign governments and the projectors of
Limited Liability Companies, create a demand in excess of
the supply, their profits were large, but the 'harp ad-
min.* of the rate of discount ought to remind them of the
risks they run. In the present state of the American
currency merchants trading with the Union have to con-
tend with more than the ordinary chances of commerce.
The capital of their customers is estimated on • medium
which is liable to unlooked-for fluctuations of its
own, and the trade of the country is abnormal and irregular
to a degree which we find it difficult to realise. The effect
of the inflated issues of paper money on the mercantile
spirit within the Union is, perhaps, a still graver source of
danger, since a love of reckless speculation has been gees-
rated which the easy credit afforded by European exporters
can only serve to enemirage. There is no necessity for
raising a cry of ahrm, but there is clearly • call for pru-
dence in making arrangements for the coming year.

The appearance of the entries for the spring handicaps
generally brings turf men together, inasmuoh as it forms at
least a s•liiject for conjecture ac to the poejible and proba-
ble imposts which will fall to the several candidates, espe-
Wally the more prominent ones. The subscription room
was pretty well attended this afternoon, but the busines•
feature. of the day were confined to two animals for the
Derby, Rustic and Janitor. The former bad received sub.
stantial support at the Victoria Club in the
early part of the afternoon—having been backed
foe about 5001. at 7 and 7i to 1, and at
" the gate" he was again in force. The first bet
booked we:. 7i fifties, but the extra half point was soon
knocked off, and 7to 1 was itocepted freely to about a
Couple of hundred pounds. The dubious rumours recently
is circulation about Lord Lyon appeared to have rather a
depressing effect upon hie lordship, who was only favoured
with one small investment of a "toot'" at 8 to 1, which
adds were offered right tbrougb. Reds* continues to
advance by slow but rare steps. He too was
wade the medium of a fairish outlay at
the Club in the forenoon, at 22 to 1, but in the West

small amount. There was • vest furore about Janitor
early in the day in Wellinto•-street, where 25 to 1 was
taken to 1001. about him, and at Albert-gate the same spirit
of inquiry prevailed, but his intending backers failed to get
es him to as much money as they would have liked at his
taking price, 23 to 1, at which he was in great demand. The
same odds would have been taken about Auguste to money,
but layers were particularly shy in dealing with the French
stable. Some three or four outsiders were introduced,
which, with their peims, will be found below.
