at Breslau, on the 12th, the King declared that be
would remain firmly attached to the principles he
had professed at the beginning of his government ;
that he would maintain the rights of the crown as
well as the rights of the people • and he finally re-
ferredto the last ministerial cire:ilar.

In the evening their Majestic, met with a warm
reception at the theatre, and subsequently drove
through the streets, which were splendidly il-
luminated.

THE EXPRESS,

capital, and prolonging the hopes of faction in
aides.

We have spoken of these changes in the govern-
ment of France as if their accomplishment were
easy and sure. Time, however, must show
whether the transfer of • 'power so important as
the control of the public expenditure will be final,
or whether the prerogative which it is just now so
inconvenient to retain will not be recovered
when present difficulties have passed away. It re-
mains to be seen whether the French Imperial
system will admit the supremacy of the Corps
Legislatif in matters of finance. Ministers in
France are not responsible to the representa-
tives of the people. The government is the Ex-
rums., and opposition to the budget is opposition
to him. If the Chamber, through the exercise
of the right which the EMPEROR would gladly
force upon it, become a real institution, would
Louis Nsrut.•oN still have the means of
satisfying the expectations which he excited
when he ascended the throne as representing
the unlimited central force of French Demo-
cracy ? Will he still be answerable for the abun-
dance of employment when he can no longer
create boundless expenditure by a stroke of his
pen I' Will he be required to make bread cheaper
in seasons of scarcity when he is deprived of the
means of regulating importations of corn I On
these and many other questions which readily pre-
sent themselves we must wait for further means of
information.

THE ELECTION FOR PIIIBBURT.—( THIS DAY.)
Although the death of Mr. Thomas Buncombe
was only fully made known this morning, the different par.
ties interested in political matters in the borough have
already begun to look about for an eligible candidate.
The Nonconformist party, it is understood. would
like to fight the battle with Mr. Samuel Morley
as their champion. Mr. Torrens M`Cullagh has
also been freely spoken of. Mr. Serjeant Parry declines to
undertake the contest. Should Mr. Montagu Chambers
came forward, a very large section of the voters would sup.
port him. Another gentleman spoken of as a probable can-
didate is Mr. W. Campbell Sleigh, the barrister.

DEATH OP MR. THOMAS S. DUNCOMBE, Y.P.
FOR FINSBURY.

This well-known and popular metropolitan re-
presentative died suddenly on Wednesday morning, at
Lancing, near Brighton. The deceased gentleman had for
some time suffered from chronic bronchitis. The Mime.
diete cause of death, however, was disease of the
heart. With the exception of • slight swelling of the
snare Mr. Buncombe had not exhibited any symptoms
calculated to alarm his friends. But on Sunday even-
ing, feeling rather more unwell than usual, he tele-
graphed to his medical adviser, who visited him immedi-
ately, and remained in attendance till the clime. Mr. Dun.
combo has represented Finsbury since having been a
member of the legislature for more than thirty years. He
was sixty-five years of age at his death.
At • meeting of the members of the London Politic"!
Union last evening at Anderton's Hotel, the chairman, Mr.
Noble, announced the event with deep regret, and Mr.
Lucraf t moved the following resolution, which was seconded
by Mr. Wallange, and carried unanimously :—" That
this meeting has heard with sincere regret of the
sudden death of Thomas Blingsby Buncombe, Esq., M.P.,
and desires to record without delay its high sense
of his long, courageous, and faithful services, his devotion to
the liberties of the people, religious as wall as civil, and
especially his indefatigable exertions in the cause of parlia-
mentary reform, in most unfavourable times, on the basis
of manhood suffrage, and that this meeting recommends to
the working classes of this country, and especially of the
metropolis, to take effectual measures to honour the
memory of thin distinguished champion of their political
rights." The mover of the resolution explained that he
meaut by the expression " honour the memory," that
the working classes shosid hasten to secure for themselves
the rights Mr. Buncombe Yd so long demanded for them.

LONDON MIME BRIGADE BALL.

The annual ball, given by the members of the
London Rids Brigade, took place last night at Guildhall.
There WY a very large attendance. embracing
tires from moat of the metropolitan and several of the
provincial volunteer corps. The gas stars, festoons, trans.
parenciee, barmen, devices, sad other decorations which
were displayed at the Lard Mayor's ioaurFuratioo bempeet,
were retained to give eclat to the ball, which is regarded by
the Brigade and most zd the fairer portion of Loadon's
citizens as by far the more Important event of the two.
Under the bright light of innumerable gas jets, and with
the accessories of gorgeous drapery and picturesque and
tasteful arrangement of oreamentetwo, the varied uniforms
of the gallant volunteers, and the still gayer costumes of
the lady guests as they moved about in the changes of the
dance, produced a plaseiug and a brilliant *tare.
As the cowpony arrived they were duly presented to the
Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, who during nearly the
whole of the evening occupied chairs of state at the upper
*rod of the hall. Alderman Roe*, major of the brigade,
took a peornioeut part in conducting the proceedings, and
amongst the guests were the End of Westmoreland,
General Eyre, Colooel Gorda., Lieutenants J. C. and E.
Mappin, several other officers of the regular army, Sheriffs
Tweiitymeta mad CockereU, with several other City nota-
bilities, Mr. Hughes, the author of "Tom Brown's School
Bays," he.
The dancing was kept up with great spirit throughout the
nightaod far into the morning. the only interruption being
that occasioned by the summons about midnight to the
crypt. where an ample supper supplied by Mr. Domild, of
Sc. Jamee'ehall, was laid, sod to which the previous exer-
tions of the company ambled them to do full justice.

MINE&-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'Clocr.
There is no feature of striking importance to-
day in the mining market. In the Stock Ex-
change East Wheal Russell shares are officially
marked 7f, and Providence 44. The other
transactions have been chiefly in shares in Wheel
Seton, South Wheal Frances, North Basset, North
Miners, Tamar Consols, and Great South Tolgus.
United Mexican Mining shares are lees inquired
for, and are marked n. St. John del Rey have
been dealt in at 31), and English and Australian
Copper at 34.
At East Wheal Barret meeting, on the 29th inst., the as.
counts showed a credit balance of 4,8991. 2e. 3d., including
2,3731. 13s. 6d. brought forward from the last account.
The profit at the two months' working amounted to
2,15=i.
Bs. 9d. A. dividend of 51. per share (2,54101.)
was declared, leaving 2:339.f. 2e. 3d. to the next account.

At Ashburton United Mines meeting, on the 25th insl,
a statement of accounts was rftd, showing a balance dee
from the mine of 471. Ils. 6d., dtm• payment of all code
and liabilities to list December ; but estimating the tin
raised and on the floors and paid for (which, owing to the
' severe frost, it had not been possible to prepare for market
in time for the meeting) at 1,6001., would show a balance of
about 1,550/. in favour of the mine.
From North Wheal Exmouth (Jan.* Captain W. &awls
writes :—" All the pitches are much improved, and one of
them (Wills) in back of the 18 north of new whim shaft
will yield 2 tons of lead ore per fathom. In fact there is a
splendid course of ore, such as I never saw even in F.l-
- The 30 north of Hallett's shaft is gradually im-
proving in both the lode and strata. Our prospects on the
whole are cheering."

ELECTRIC AND INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPH

"

The report of the directors states that the re-
ceipts for the half-year just concluded exhibit an advance
over three of the correspoWing six months to the extent of
3,166/. ; and when it is remembered that the year 1859 pro-
duced an extraordinary increase over the earnings of any
previous year, this must be considered satisfactory. The
expenses show but 'little difference except in the item et
maintenance. This is much larger than usual, arising from
causes which are detailed in the engineer's report. Whilst
the directors are satisfied that the proprietors will agree
with them in considering that the true policy of the com-
pany consists in keeping every part of the works in the
highest degree of efficiency, they are fully sensible of the
duty of conducting everything with the greatest emnom.
The net balance of profits on the operations of the
half-year, after payment of interest on the deben-
ture debt and calls in advance, is 35,1171., from
which the directors recommend a dividend of 3/ per
cent., leaving a balance of 6,141/. Who carried to the renewal
fund. This fund now amounts to 29,578 L, and the proposed
addition will raise it to 35,7171., leaving untouched the
balance of undivided profits of 11,7821., to be again carried
forward to the credit of the current half-year. Casualties
have again occurred to the submarine cables during the
half-year ; but the means which the company possees, the
experience which their officers have acquired, and the
extremely accurate tests now applied, whereby the precise
spot of failure is at once detected, enable the repairs to
be effected so rapidly, that but little practical inconvenience
fs experienced. mis rapidity of repair is materially facili-
tated by the fact that the company's cables are all laid in
shallow water.

THE ITALIAN MISSION TO BERLIN.

General La Marmots has met with a distin-
guished reception from the King, i.nd has paid
visits to the princes and princesses of the royal
family. A dinner was given in his honour by the
King on Sunday. His Majesty wore the Sar-
dinian decoration of the Annunciade, Baron
Schleinits, the Grand Cordon of the Order of St.
Maurice. A court carriage is placed at the general's
disposal.

A letter from Geneva, of the 28th January,
says

At a meeting of the garde des Meier!, held two days
ago, General Dufour read a paper on the neutrality of the
Swiss Confederation, which he considers as a vital prin-
ciple for the country. Discussing the eventuality of inva-
sion, be said ,—" We can only rely on ourselves to repulse
it. Next to the foreigner who attacks, nothing is so dan-
gerous as the foreigner who protect.." General Dufour
mut entered into some interesting details in order to prove
that, even should Switzerlood wish to depart from her
neotrality, she could not do so, and that it would be abso-
lutely impossible to place a corps of Swiss troops at the
service of a foreign cense ; and, Laatly, he discussed the
question lately started of the establishment of • federal
fortress la the centre of the country, and said that if the
resources of the government would permit the erection of
any onesiderable fortification., they would be much better
pieced on some important points of the frontier.

The Primate says that our hastiness is the fore-

&man SHIPPINO.—Less activity has occurred in
steam shipping during the past month, which may he
doubtless attributed to the ertinordinarily severe weather
that has prevailed throughout the northern latitudes, the
unsettled state of continental affairs, and the continued de-
numement and tightness of the money market. We regret
to note the unusually heavy loan of steamers that has been
recorded winos our last list. These misfortunes, with the
small stock of useful vessels in the market, naturally tends
to enhance the value of steam vessels remaining on sale.
In freightage little has been done ; the inclemency of tho
winter and continual gales may be said to have suspended
all but unavoidable engagements. For the Mediterranean
the quotations are merely nominal. For Baltic lower
rain porta, however, suitable vowels are wanted; and the
cad and coasting trade still command attention. Some
contracts for new steamers have been entered into, but
several of our builders are open to orders.—(From the cir-
cular of Mesas Alfred Brett and Co.)

ing that if their demands were not complied with they
would take the trade to other After a long and
animated discussion, the pro of Messrs. Gibbs and Co.
was refused, the majority of the members of the board
considering that their demands and threats partook too
much of an aggressive character.

The en ply of English wheat and dour has considerably
since our report on Wednesday. Barley also more
liberal, but oats rather limited in quantity. Malt, a better

oats improved in quality, and one cargo of Irish oats
fresh up. The foreign supplies of wheat continue limited,
no fresh Americans reported, and only one cargo of
Mediterranean fresh up. Barley, a email supply-Meditiir-
ranean and Black Sea. Oats, none arrived this week. Of
flour only a small parcel of Mediterranean.
The trade today for English wheat continues inactive,
and a few sales are with great difficulty effected at the rates
of Monday. Foreign wheats are dull, and only in retail, as
previous prices. Barley slow, and about the same value as
on lest day. In oats not much doing, buyers waiting
arrivals, and transactions limited to dealers at Monday's
prices. Beans and peas without any material change. Flour
dull, and prices offered below what factors are disposed to
take. Country made very slow, and Norfolks with dig&

FRAUD BY A TALLOW BROKER.

Some sensation has been created, particularly
in the Baltic Coffee-house and in the tallow trade,
by the announcement of frauds to a large amount.
It appears that Robert Fraser North, partner in
the firm of Nickoll and North, described as oil,
seed, tar, And tallow brokers, a house which has
occupied a respectable position, has absconded,
after having obtained by fraudulent means warrants
for the delivery of tallow to a reported amount of
about 10,0001. He has, it is said, obtained posses-
sion of them by passing cheques on his bankers for
this amount, whilst his balance there was only 91.
Mr. Nickoll, the senior and "sleeping" partner, is
• respectable man, and is understood to be in no
way implicated in his partner's misdeeds. The firm
of Nickoll and North were yesterday made bank-
rupts. Their liabilities (including the 10,0001.
fraudulently contracted) are computed at 25,0001.
or 30,0001. Prompt measures have of course been
taken to trace the offender and to prevent the
further negotiation of the warrants. :Subjoined is
one of the handbills, which have been extensively
circulated :

CAUTION TO sairemts, BROKERS, AND OTHERS.
Whores' four several warrants, numbered respectively
147, 148, 149, and 150, and all dated the 30th January,
1861, the three first-mentioned warrants being each for the
delivery of 50 make of tallow, ex Hamer, marked
[B B—C], and the last of the said four warrants being
for the delivery of 80 casks of tallow, also ex limper, and
marked [B B—C), and numbered from 114 to 34 were
obtained this day from the St. Katharine Dock Company,
deliverable to the order of James C. Dalton, solicitor, of
No. 3, Backlenbury, London, and whereas the delivery
order OD which the said warrants were granted was ob-
tained by Keens. Nickoll and North from Years. Hub-
bard and Co. under fraudulent circumstances, all persons
are hereby cautioned against taking the said warrants, or
any of them, or making any advances thereon.
Any information on the subject is requested to be given
to Messrs Hubbard and Co., Bircbin-lane, London ; or to
Yaws. Frealifields end Newman, Bank-buildings, London.

say:

by the declarations and communications'of your Majesty,
the Chamber of Deputies Las seen with the most lively satis-
faction that the will of sour Majesty is to remain firmly
attached to the constitutional principle for all the provinces
of the monarchy, to the fundamental laws of the sm•
Om as well as to the constitutional situation created by
the Lisr.. We find the sure guarantee of this by the facts
by which your Majesty has coat ruled that will by refusing
your unction to the articles of th 3 laws of the Diet of 1844,
which are injurious to the rights of other province. of the
monarchy and of the whole of the state. We are com-
pletely tranquillised for our constitutional future by the
imperial promise not to allow any changes to be made is
the coustitution except they should be considered necessary,
and then only by constitutional means, that is to say, in
and with the Council of the Empire.

The Upper Chamber, iii their draft of reply,
may :

We have seen with gratitude in your Majesty's commit.
nuatinus the firmness of which, in a double upect, the
sovereign gives proof who is determined to maintain his
hereditary empire, and at the same time to persevere is the
coustitutional path upon which he has entered, and to
protect the rights of his non•Msgyar states. We pay
homage to that love of peace which, in spite of an obstinate
resistance, believes that the path of a friendly understand.
hag is not yet cloud. We rejoice at the paternal solicitude
which is anxious to spare the intimidated people the too
late repentance which the ruin of every intermit and isola-
tion in the civilised world would bring upon thou who
now seem to consider anarchy as order, and to confound
obstinacy with perseverance.
