From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of 11
fresh up this morning, were considerably less than
Monday last. whilst their general condition was ugai,
inferior. Notwithstanding that the weather was tn.
favourable for slaughtering,. and that Newgate an,
Leadenhall were very extensively supplied with eael
kind of meat, the primest Scots sold steadily at tel
prices, viz., 3s 10d pe: Blbs. All other kinds moved oil
11,iwly, and late rates were barely supported, yet a fail
clearance was effected.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire amounted to 2,100 Short-horns;
other parts of England 500 of various breeds; and, from
Scotland, 67 horned and polled Scots.
There was a considerable falling off in the supply
all breeds of Sheep: nevertheles, the demand for o
a
description of stock was in a sluggish state, at bare])
last week's currency. The highest figure for the boil
old Downs was 4s 4d. per Blbs.
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily sup.
plied with Calves, some of which were the refuse en
Friday last. The veal trade was heavy, at barely sta-
tionary prices.
Prime small Porkers were quite dear Mon-
day last. Otherwise the pork trade was very on
depressed.

We have received the Paris papers of Saturday on
yesterday.
The strongest assurance of certainty prevails that
all stock will be converted into one uniform Three

however, contain the looked-for decree to that effect.

are to be made to the port of Havre. The harbour
is to be increased, docks are to be established, and

The Chamber of Commerce at Brest has voted an
address to the Prince President, thankiag him for
having given them the constitutive chamber they
possess, and while calling on him to assume the crown
echo the words of the sp,ech at Bordeaux—the Em-
pire is peace. The lifoniteur records the honourable
tPstimonv of the Beard of Admiralty towards
Captain B-Ilot, the French tnsrine officer who ha%
just returned from the Arctic Regions. The gallant
captain's own report of the endeavours made to :-ind
Sir John Franklin is also given, confirming the par-
ticulars of Captain Kennedy's recital.
The same official journals contains a decree by
which an extraordinary credit of 200 0001. is appro-
prived to the church of St. Genevieve, formerly the
' Pantheon ; a second decree nominates the presidents
of different mutual aid societies; a third gives formal
authorization to the Crystal Palace Company, or
Palace of National Industry ; and a fourth promul-
gates the convention with the duchy of Brunswick
relative to literary property.
The Pays has the following remarks on the subject
of the course to be followed with regard to the
Empire :
"if the empire is to proceed from the suffrages of the
nation freely consulted, it is to the Legislative Body that
the right is reserved to proclaim this great event. We
have already said that this was not a vain formality, but a
Fresh homage paid to the principle of national sovereignty.
The Legislative Body will not be a simple bureau for

After the recital of the ode, which was much ap-
plauded, the mime of the author was called for, and
M. Arsine Houssaye, the director of the theatre,
was declared to be the man. The President soon
after withdrew.

counting the votes, it will be the authorized agent of the
ppo pl:•, to verify the correctness of the electoral operations
and to proclaim the votes of the ballot. In this point,
or view we repeat, the intervention of the Legislative
Body acquires a considerable political importance. This
intervention has a character the more serious, as what
Row takes place is not accomplished under the irresistible
pressure of any of those social dangers which lead people
beyond their own convictions. Violent revolution is
vanquished, anarchy is repressed, and order is re-estab-
lished; the government which presents itself to the
judgment of the people has not terror for its auxiliary.
It is in the midst of peace and of general prosperity
that it consults France, whose wishes echo in its ears
from the thousand voices of the enthusiastic crowd. The
nation octs in all its spontaneousness, and it also acts in
all its liberty. It is, perhaps, the first time in the history
of a nation which will have to declare itself on the na-

Politics and poetry appear to combine very ami-
cably together; and the rural communes show a de-
cided preference for metre as the channel of their
wishes and their prayers. The members of the
Municipal Council of the classic district of Chasay-
d'Azergues (Rhone) seem to have made the same
discovery as M. Pourceaugnac, who had spoken
prose all his life without knowing it. They now dis-
dain their ordinary mode of communicating their
ideas, and their demand for the establishmeut of the
Empire is drawn up thus :

A SON ALTESSJ IMPERIALE.
Louis NapolOon soyez notre Empereur;
Depuis longtemps ce vau germe dans notre cram
Nous desirous aussi, sauveur de la patrie,
Que l'Empereur Franpais soit Roi de l'Algerie.
Sire, r6gnez sour nous I Proteges par vois lois,
Nous benirons le nom de Napoleon Trois.
Vous etes notre appui, notre unique esp6rance,
Vive notre Empereur ! Dieu protege la France I
Les habitants de Chazy d'Azergues.

Pure or it; definitive institutions without having been
constrained to it by the troubles of a revolution. In
1814, Franco bent her head under the defeat of our
601diers; invaded by foreign armies, she accepted
the government re-established by the allied powers;
but her choice bad to be made between obedience
and devastation. In 1830, France was subjected to a
new dynasty, but the Kings of the elder branch
had fled ; the throne was vacant, and her choice was be-
tween adhesion and anarchy. In 1848 a triumphant
entente drove Louis Phillinpa from the Tuileries, but the
red flag and socialism arose with the terrible souvenirs
of 1793 ; the choice of France was then between the
Republic or terror. Now let us suppose, which is a thing
impossible—for it is the people who wish for the empire,
and the Government adheres to the national wish—let
us suppose that the majority of citizens declare them-
selves against the re-establishment of the Imperial
throne, there would be neither danger for society, nor
fot individuals. Order would not be compromised, and
the government with its actual power and form would
watch as energetically and as effectually over the general
safety. It is, therefore, in the strength of her liberty
and in the plenitude of her reason, that France is about
to decide whether she will retain the present form of
government, or re establish Imperial hereditary rights.
rho government does not put this grave and solemn
question ; it proceeds from the wishes of all the repre-
sentative of the people, from the acclamatio❑ of citizens,
from the interests of all classes of society. In presence
of this unanimous declaration, the government could
not remain indifferent and insensible ; it has on this
point made a fresh appeal to the people, the only legiti-
mate dispenser of Sovereign power. But, we repeat,
Nhilst so many other powers have been raised and con-
solidated by the fear of an evil which they might ward
against, the present one is founded and strengthened by
the conviction of the good which it is t produce. In
this solemn act of national sovereignty each of the great
bodies of the State is to have its part. The Senate, the
guardian of the fundamental principles of public right,
has a situation defined by the Constitution itself ; it de-
clares the necessity of modifications of which the Con-
stitution is susceptible. The legislative power, the organ
and authorised agent of the nation, verities the votes of
the people, and proclaims its sovereign decision. In our
eyes it is a fine and noble mission that has devolved on
it. If, on the one hand, it guarantees the sincerity of
the vote, it is, on the other hand, a striking proof of the
confidence of the Government towards the deputies. Is
not the best government that which realiz.?s the greatest
amount of good?—and in this point of view, wh ►t pre-
ceding Government has done more, or done it more
rapidly, than the Government of Louis Napoleon?"

THE CONTINENT.

SPAIN.

Accounts have been received from Madrid to the
19th instant.

It is thought that the Cortes will probably be called
together towards the end of November, and a general
bill of indemnity, or something of the kind, will be
proposed, so as to legalize all the measures which the
Government have enacted by decrees during the long
period in which the legislative sittings have been sus-
pended. There will no doubt be a violent, if not a
very numerous, opposition, which will refuse such a
vote; and it is believed that the first opportunity af-
forded by violence of debate, ending, as it is likely,
in a scene, will be taken advantage of for again clos-
ing the Chambers, and making the desired modifica-
tions in the present system. Some think that the
Ministers will content themselves with a dissolution
and new elections, but the more general idea is, that
a curb will be put upon the Cortes, assimilating their
powers to those at present existing in France.
The Government have, it is understood, contracted
a loan for the sum of two millions sterling with the
the house of Messrs. O'Shea and Co., for the purpose
of carrying into effect the Aranjuez and Valencia
Railway.
The Council of Ministers had come to the resolu-
tion of recognizing the Empire the moment it should
be proclaimed in France.

LOUIS NAPOLEON AT THE THEATRE.

(Firm the 2'imes )
PARIS, SATURDAY, OCT. 23, 5 P.M.
I presume that the visit paid by the President last
night to the Theatre Fran gals must be considered as
a visit of ‘• State." It had been announced for some
days beforehand, and improvements and decorations
oeto
were made within the walls, and everything done
welcome the Imperial visitor. The street was sanded
all over, and the fa stades of this chosen temple of the
dramatic muse was beautifully illuminated. The bird
whose form and anatomy the Parisian ornithologist
has been most familiar with for many months past is
unquestionably the eagle. He has been exhibited in
every shape and material—in wood and iron, in gas-
light and in oil, in pasteboard and canvass, in silk and
satin ; and on every occasion, for he is never off duty.
He last night rose with outspread wings, and in the
midst of glare, with his usual appendage, the star of
the Legion of Honour. To his right and left were
to be seen shields encircled with palm leaves, with
resplendent stars in the intermediate spaces, and on
them the familiar initials L. N." Lines of gas ran
all round the building, and the light they shed turned
the night into day. The Foyer displayed its new
decorations, and the walls were hung with portraits
of the eminent actors of the old Comedie Francaise,
and complete the series of the busts of the poets.
For some hours previous to the President's arrival,
the lower part of the Rue Richelieu had been crowded
with people, and cries of " Viva l'Empereur 1" from
without, when the second act was just commencing,
gave note of his arrival. Accompanied by the usual
escort of cuirassiers, the Prince arrived in an open
carriage drawn by four horses, followed by another
of the same kind, and containing the officers of his
household. In that part of the street the pathways
are narrow, as also the streets on both sides; and the
escort drawing up in line, prevented the crowd
from thronging his passage. The President was
cheered on entering his box, which was hung in front
with crimson velvet drapery, embroidered with bees
in gold. The interior of the theatre displayed a pro-
fusion of tricoloured flags in clusters. The Presi-
dent, who was dressed in black, and wore the cordon of

L'EMPIRE C'EST LA PAIR,

One of the most prominent and not least respect-
able members of the Frankfort National Assembly,
commonly known as " Old Jahn," died at Freiburg
on the 15th inst., at the age of 74. He was the son
of a pastor of Lanz, in the Priegnitz district.
The political trial at Cologne advances with all
due dispatch. The proceedings of the 18th presented
more than ordinary interest, from their being de-
voted to the examination of M. Steiber, Police Coun-
cillor, who attended in England on the part of the
Prussian Government during the Exhibition, and in
the course of that period was accidentally enabled to
make important discoveries of papers and documents
relative to the secret societies which had their head-
quarters in London. M. Steiber entered with much
lucidity into details of great interest, corroborated
fully by documentary evidence and admissions on the
part of individuals arrested at Paris and elsewhere.
Among these individuals was a man named Cherval,
de scribed as one of the chiefs of the French Commu-
nists. A letter from this personage to an emissary
at Valenciennes, dated February, 1851, is °hare o-
teristic of the Communist doctrines. The following
is an extract, laid before the Court :
" What you propose is very good; but I hold it advis-
able not to epeak of murder in our letters. That is the
medium for carrying our principles into effect, but it
would be hurtful toapeak openly of this medium. Excite
hatred against all reactionaries, but do not preach this
hatred openly. I laughed heartily when I read your
article—" Murder all the clergy without mercy. Only
think of some fifty hear] of this black breed, bound hand
to hand, like so many sheep and calves, to be led to the
shambles, and there slanghterecit
In another letter addressed to the same emissary,
named Giebericb, arrested at Strasburg, the follow-
ing extracts were cited :—"Our principles are simply
these : all men (except the clergy and reactionaries),
it is to be supposed, are brothers. Property is rob-
bery. All men have equal rights. The oppressed
have a right to revenge themselves on their tyrants by
all possible means." The letters containing these and
sundry other passages of equal brutality were found
in the possession of individuals arrested, and acknow-
ledged by them and their authors, who, it appears,
were almost all arrested by a plan well concerted be-
tween the French and German police.

Claussen, on " The Essence and Signification of Na-
tionality." Of course the circumstances of the times
invested this eloquent harangue with additional in-
terest, and it was listened to by a crowded audience
with attention and admiration. The peroration of
the speech was a prayer for Denmark.

AMERICA.

"Now comes apace the evening of the year.
With all its sunset glories spread around,"
forcibly reminding us sporting mortals of the close ap.
proximation of the byperborean season, and its accom-
paniments of hunting, coursing, and steeple-chasing.
"The time of shadow and of flowers,
When roads gleam white for many a winding mile,"
has fled, or is fast gliding away, and with it the sports
of spring and summer—cricketing, rowing, and racing.
Newmarket's Houghton meeting will this week wind
up what is termed the " legitimate" racing season of
1852 ; and to-morrow week the curtain rises (at
Worcester) for the winter season, upon the first of
those riunion4 which have become so popular of late
years, where the steeple chase, flat and hurdle race,
play equal parts in the performance. But, transit Nora
sine mora, (which, roughly translated, means that
the printer's devil wont wait) and, as I have but
twenty minutes to dot down the latest scraps con-
earning the Cambridgeshire, it of necessity follows that
I must pay an immediate attention to that stake.
My latest udvices give the representatives of the
various stables as follows :—Kent's. Harbinger ; Isaac
Day's, Ephesus; J. Shepherd's, Sir Charles ; Saunder's,
Hobble Noble ; Le Juit also rune. Beresfcrd's, Alco-
ran ; T. Parr's, Weathergage ; Bardolph, I believe, also
goes. Peck's, Hook= Suivey, and Trosauau; Bullock's,
Grief ; John Osborne's, the Cutler, and, perhaps, Lady
Agnes ; Martin's, Khadidjah; Cooper's, Herbvi ; Car-
lisle's, Manifold ; John Day's, Father Thames ; Ford's,
Dulcet ; W. Scott's, Deceitful Harlock's Phlegra, and
perhaps, Ilex. Death's, Convulsion; E. Parr's, Sanita;
Steven's, Azael; John Scott's, Hyacinth, and Kilquade;
Dilly, Knight] of the Shire ; Stebbing's, Alfred the
Great ; Kingston or Hungerford will also run ; Young
Stephenson's, Billy Bar ; Hussey's, Sir John Barley-
corn ; Fisher's, Plot ; Alec Taylor's, sister to Singa-
pore. Tom Taylor's Babette, with Gladiole or Lady
Evelyn to make ; the running. Cleary's, Brawn ;
Roger's, Pancake ; and Boyce's, Peacock.
I have been unable to ascertain for a certainty what
Dawson intends starting, although. I believe, Varmint
and Evadne will turn out to be the animals. lam in
the same fix as to Goodwin's starter, Musician and Divi-
dend being both there, and neither backed.
In addition to those given above, rumour reports the
probable starting of Kooh-i-noor, Vermuth, Henrietta,
and one or two ethere, whose appearance is of little con-
sequence, as they will have no influence on the result..
Lady Amyott or Candlewick will probably also start;
but I have received no definite information concerning
them.
The interest of the race will be confined to the money
horses, nine in number, namely: Babette, Azael,
Ephesus, Hobbie Noble, Weathergage, Convulsion,
Knight of the Shire, Hyacinth, and Alfred the Great.
The last-named ought not to be included in this category,
as he has been trusted with comparatively little cash.
Babette, last Saturday week, was tried with Lady
Eve:ra and Gladiole, at the Cambridgeshire weights,
and beat the Lady with most perfect ease by five lengths;
Glaaca a bad third.
Last week Azael won his trial very easily, beating
Butterfly and Longinus.
Convulsion was tried on Thursday, and disposed of
Glancer and Blood Royal, giving the latter above a atone
and altalf, and won in a canter.
Hyacinth is reported to have been tried with Daniel
O'Rourke, and to have beat him.
On Friday, Hobbie Noble was tried with 'Joe Miller,
and disposed of him with the same ease that Kingston
did in the second October week.
Looking at these trials, the race would seem to lie, for
a certainty, among the winners of them; and if the place
of honour is not filled with CONVULSION to-morrow, I
think it must be by Azael or Babette. These three I
give to occupy the first three places; Hobbit) Noble,
Ephesus, and Alfred the Great, heading the rack.
To those who may be fond of outside fancies, the hard-
worked ;Sanita, Father Thames, Dawson's starters and
Brawn, are worth trifling investments; as the present
state of the ground might capsize the calculations of the
backers of the favourites, it is in tolerable condition at
the present time; but should the rain continue all day,
it will be decidedy heavy to-morrow.—l am, &0.,

SIR,

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING.
By the steam-ship Canada we have advices from
New York to the 12th instant., and Bostou to the
13'h. She brings 320,000 dolls. in specie.
The Franklin arrived at New York on the 11th,
and the America was passed off Boston on the 13th.
Advices from Vera Cruz to the 16th of September
state that the political condition of the country bud
not changed. The formation of a new Cabinet was
not completed. The President named Ledo as Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs, and Palacios as Minister of
Finance ; but on the go, after a conference with the
President, they declined accepting the appointments.
Senor Aguirre had taken the oaths as Minister of
Justice ; Senor Arroyo as Foreign Minister pro tern.
A commission had been appointed to consider the
Tehuantepec question. The Indians were trouble-
some. General Marin had returned to Jalapa.
The New Yorh Herald contains the following in-
telligence from the Lobos Islands :—The ship Man-
lius, Captain Baker, of Boston, arrived at the Lobos
Islands from Acapulco about the 12th ult., and, was
ordered off by a Peruvian brig of war. Captain
Baker refused to leave, and was lying off and on,
waiting the arrival of Commodore M'Auley, in pur-
suance of instructions from his owners, who had let-
ters from Secretaries Webster and Graham, of which
he had certified copies. We learn that Captain Baker
makes no mention of any other force at the islands,
but states that there were two vessels loading oil ac-
count of Peru, one English and the other American.
Captain Baker sent this information to his owners by
the English mail steamer, which he boarded as ;she
passed the Lobos Islands on her way from Valparaiso
to Panama.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing on the 11th, states, that the atten-
tion of the President had been called to a reported
outrage on the American flag by the authorities of
Cuba, and that a special agent was about to be

Two weeks' later advices from Valparaiso, received
by telegraph from New Orleans, represent Chili
affairs as very promising. The newly established
monetary system had given great satisfaction. The
Government had sent 200,000 dols. to London to
purchase a war steamer.
Late advices from the Sandwich Islands report the
prevalence of a serious epidemic at Honolulu, which
bad very materially checked business. The Govern-
ment had promulgated a treaty of reciprocity with ,
the United States.
On the 11th a run was made on some of the vira.,
shtngton banks.
The death of Mr. William Pitt Adams, British
consul at Lima, is announced.
The steam-ship El Dorado arrived at New Orleans
on the 9th, with advices from San Francisco to the
16th of December, brought to Panama by the steam-
ship Golden Gate, which vessel
had on freight two
millions in gold dust. According to the telegraphic
advices the mining intelligence was very favourable.
The finding of several large lumps of gold is men-
tioned. There had been some further movements at
the mines against the Chinese, and a public meeting
was about to he held on the subject.
At the meeting of British residents in New York
convened for the purpose of taking into consideration
the best means of testifying respect for the memory
of the late Duke of Wellington, it was resolved that a
sermon should be preached in Trinity Church on the
day of the funeral, and that mourning should be wore.
An American schooner, which had arrived at Ports-
mouth from Prince Edward's Island, reported that
she had been twice fired at by the British steamer
Devastation, and forbidden to enter the bay.
A very destructive fire occurred at Clersland on
the 12th.

The cotton•market was firmer. The advices per
Franklin had but little effect upon the markets. A
fair extent of business bad been transacted in flour,
chiefly for home use. Wheat met with a ready sale,
but there is no alteration in prices. Indian corn con-
tinued to advance. Large operations in Scotch pig
iron are reported, but the prices had not transpired.
Great activity continued to be displayed in the
New York stock-market. United States sixes had

advanced an j ; Erie Bonds, ; and Niciiraiii;
Bonds, i.

In the money-market a better feeling prevailed'
and loans were freely made at from 6 to 7 per cent.
Paper was in good supply and moderate demand.
Foreign exchange was firm. On London, 1101 to
1.10; ; Paris, sf. 121 c. to sf. 13f six months.
Freights to London...Flour,' 2s 3d per barrel ;

three horses for the Cambridgeshire, viz., Hobble Noble,

Criterion. The first mentioned of this lot opened at 10

to 1, the taker offering to go on. Weathergage also
was in force, and Ephesus had a few supporters at 12
and 13 to 1. These movements drove Azsel to 6to 1,
at which price he was quite friendless. Babette, although
not backed, was steady at 6to 1. Sittingbourne was
backed eagerly at 5 to 4, and 3 to 1 offered against any
other. Closing prices :

PERT ERSIoN......_The Rev. J. H. Pollen, Fellow of
Merton College, and late Senior Proctor of the Univer-
sity of Oxford, has been received into the Roman Ca-
tholic Church by the Archbishop of Rouen.
ST. DIONIS BACKCIIURCLI.--A memorial, signed
by the churchwardens, overseers, and sixty inhabitants
of this parish, has been presented to the Dean and
Chapter of Canterbury, setting forth that the late Dean
of Norwich was incumbent of the parish for 24 years,
during the whole of which time he was non-reddeat,
and praying that a clergyman may be appointed to the
rectory who, by residing in or near the pariah, may be
able to fulfil in person the various duties of his high
charge.
LOUGHISOROUGIA AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The
annual meeting of the above society was held on Satur-
day. The show of cattle, sheep, &c., was considered to
be an average one. The ordinary at the Bull's Head was
attended by about 140 gentlemen. There were present,
Mr. Packe, M.P., in the chair; the Marquis of Granby,
M.P.; Mr. E. B. Farnham, M.P.; Messrs. Stokes, Bur-
rows, Hammond, Mason, and a number of tenant-
farmers.

CATTLE Sib:MS.—The country is now passing through
the annual season of agricultural festivity. The exhibi-
tions of prize stock have been everywhere of the most
grata') ing kind. Animals of the largest size, the most i
symmetrical proportions, and their noble bony struc-
tures clothed in the most appetising rotundity of flesh,
ore brought in goodly thousands to gratify the admiring
gaze of well satisfied connoisseurs.
A DESERTER FROM THE MILITIA.—A man named
John Pardon has been apprehended at Tewkesbury,
charged with having deserted from the South Gloucester
Battalion of Militia. It appears that he had volunteered
to servo in the battalion at Gloucester, and after he had
received his ten shillings. ho went direct to Worcester,
and volunteered to serve in tho Worcestershire militia,
and after he had received his ten shillings there, ab-
sconded. Lle has been ordered to be detained in custody
until a court-martial can be held upon him.
WEST GLOUCESTERSHIRE.—Tho result of the revision
ia this division has tended materially to improve the
position of the Liberal party.
EAST GLOUCESTERSHIRE —The registration for the
eastern division of this county was concluded in this
city on Wednesday last, before E Gillam White, Esq.,
the revising barrister, and the result, so far as it has as
yet been ascertained, appears to be highly satisfactory to
the Liberal party.

WHO SHOULD REPRESEN7' ENGLAND
AT THE FRENCH EMPEROR'S
CORONATION?

A wrier in the Liverpool Albion, canvassing the
claims of various parties for the honour of represent-
ing England at Louis Napoleon's imperial coronation,
proceeds as follows :
It is not to be supposed that the present Duke of
Northumberland will imitate the example of his relative
at the coronation cf Charles X,, whereat the equipaee
and retinue of the Percy wholly eclipsed the attelaye of
the descendants of Clovis, his Grace literally shovelling
out gold among the crowd, of whose language he could
neither speak nor understand a syllable, to the great de-
rision of those who contemptuously pocketed his pieces.
The present Duke of Devonshire was equally profuse,
but in a much more becoming style, at the coronation of
Nicholas at St Petersburg in 1826, when the princely
Cavendish shamed the orient pomp of all the Baskir
hordes of the Autocrat, despite their " barbaric pearl.
and gold." But who is to do that sort of thing no ?
and not to do it in this affair would hirdly meet the ap-
probation of flume himself, ea indeed, nothirg does, for
Joe has become a veriteble porcupine of hoe, and lea
quill is ever ready to fly at any one who says bo to
a goose. True, there is Norfolk, who has the inetea,
and is not at all deficient in the inclination to di,
p Ist the sumptuous liveries of the Hereditary E urn
Marshal of England in any Field of Cloth ef Gold
where there is rivalry in messnificence. But, supposing
the Pope was there, how would Curry Powder, alter
stirring up the Durham mustard blister of this time two
years, face the Pontiff; er how turn tail without con-
tumely to the head of the Howards ? Commoners of
the right stamp might be had in abundance ; and in
these days of industrial progress, who so fitting to re-
present the " spirit of the age" a; the genii of successful
labour at the throne of one who boasts his eagerness to
exalt and ennoble toil ? For instance. the great indus-
trial triumph of our epoch, the Exhibition of '5l, owed
its introductory success, and consequent prosperity sub-
sequently, to the circumstance of Mr. Pete, M.P. for
Norwich, guaranteeing 50,0001. towards the preliminary
expenses at a time when, but for such indemnity, all the
promoters of the undertaking, royal, patrician, and ple-
bian, would have shrunk aghast from costs which the
least hesitation would have rendered overwhelming,
The Prince and her Majesty have retained a lively sense
of that truly-magnanimous liberality since, enhanced as
it was by the modesty which kept secret the generosity.
Last week he was summoned by the Lord Chamberlain
to accompany, in his capacity of chairman of the Chester
and Holyhead Railway, the august party in the inspec-
tion of the engineering marvels of the tubular-bridge and
its accessories. But, with a nobility of mind which it is
impossible too highly to panegyrise, and which is altoge-
ther beyond the comprehension of the mere herd of
routine courtiers, he declined going—of course in the
most loyal and dutiful terms—the reason being
that he had that night undertaken to preside
at the London Tavern Anniversary Dinner of
the Benevolent Builders' Charity and would not
break that engagement, even on such a summons, lest
the institution would suffer by his absence, and those be
disappointed who took tickets on the faith of his being
present. His conduct in the chair was in exact keeping
with the unostentatious independence and unaffected
simplicity of demeanour that have ever characterised
him. Though one of the most effluent of men of the age
—allluence acquired without the faintest imputation of
sordidness, much less of over-reaching—and though his
name is familiar in almost every part of the globe where
vast engineering operations happen to be in progress, he
thoroughly identified himself with the building business,
properly so called. As a builder, and a builder only—
in every part of whose calling he is a practical handi-
craftsman—he advocated the cause of the pensioners
on builders' bounty, contributing 200 guineas as chair-
man of the evening, and 25 guineas annual donation,
and 50 guineas from the firm of Peto and Betts.
Liberal as these gratuities are in appearance, they fall
far short of the reality in other shapes and forms,
which he takes oar* not to have made known lest they
should seem to savour of parade ; but in cases where
no professional amour propre can be supposed to bias the
purity of his motive, his gifts are on a scale commensu-
rate even with means so ample as his, as in the instance
of the Asylum for Idiots, to which he gave 1,000/. in one
sum, and large amounts repeatedly since, that class of
afflicted unfortunates seeming to command his special
sympathies, as shown by an institution he has established
in the neighbourhood of his noble estate at Lowestoft
for the novel treatment of peculiar phases of mental in-
firmity. It is men like this of whom England would
feel rightly proud—if English wealth won by English
virtues and administered by English self-respect is sup-
posed to be typified in the person of the representatives
of our nation at the coming gathering in Paris, as was
in the cases already cited; and if heraldic nobles cannot
be found fitly to discharge the duties expected from their
status, their antecedents, and the requirements of the
moment, let us have some of Nature's nobles, like the
member for Norwich ; and, then, at all events, we may
be pretty sure that we shall have no need to blush for
the figure Old England will cut amidst the fungus finery
of the mushroom monarch of the 2d of December, 1851.

HEALTH OF LITERPOOL.—The deaths last week
were 187, being a decrease of eight as compared with
the previous week, and fewer than in any week of the
preceding six months. Deaths in the parish 142, in the
parochial wards 45. From zymotic diseases the deaths
were 52, being 10 less than in the work previous; of this
number 17 were from typhus, 10 from scarlatina, two
from measles, one from influeuzi, and 16 from bowel
complaints, against 26 in the preceding week Diseases
of the lungs, with consumption, caused 56 deaths, a
larger proportion of the whole than in any week of the
six preceding months. A man, aged 31, died from
excessive drinking.

TESTIMONIAL.-Sir George Grey's Testimonial Com-
mittee had, up to Monday week, received from Morpeth,
Bedlingtcn, Alnwick, Belford, Berwick, Wooler, and
li)thbury, the sum of 313/. towards purchasing a dinner
service. Several districts, too, had not sent iu their re-
turns. It is expected that the total subscription will be
upwards of 4001.

ELOPEMENT..--LSSt week, a young lady eloped
from Queenstown with a youthful limb of the law. The
young lady, it is stated, is the daughter of a retired
medical practitioner, and a lately made J.P.; and the
fortunate young gentleman, himself a member of the
legal profession, is connected with a firm in Cork, who
are likely to take a leading part in the prosecution of
the petition against Messrs. Murphy and Fagan—that is
should its promoters persevere in their intention.
THE RECORDER Or lIIILL.—Our new Recorder has
passed the ordeal of his first appearance as a judge at
Quarter Sessions with great credit to himself, and groat
satisfaction to the bar and the public. Though the cases
to be tried were not unusually numerous, they were
more than usually important, and were well calculated
to test the discretion, the discernment, the legal acute-
ness, and the judicial ability of the presiding judge.
Owing to the general desire to catch a glimpse of the
author of " Ten Thousand a-Year" in wig and gown,
the Court, during the whole of the sessions, was densely
crowded. Among the learned Recorder's supporters oil
the bench, the moat diligent in their attendance were the
ladies, of whom the number present was unusually
great. For them the wizard weaver of Fiction's web
formed the chief attraction.—Hull Advertiser.
ATTBSITT TO ASSASSINATE A CLERGYMAN.—The
following letter has been received from a gentleman at
Galway :7" As Mr. Seymour was returning home on
Friday night last in his gig. on the road from Clonfert
to Lawrencetown, a gun or pistol was snapped at him.
He distinctly heard the cap exploding, and saw a man
in dark-coloured clothes immediately run off in the
fields; fortunately the fire-arms did not go off. Mr.
Seymour drove as fast as he could, and reported the out-
rage to the police at Lawrencetown. The case was fully
investigated on Thursday, at Lawrencetown, before G.
Fitagerald, Esq., R.M., and the local magistrates. I
understand that the magistrates have recommended that
a reward should be offered by the Government. The
Rev. Mr. Seymour was generally liked in the locality.
He had been obliged to order one or two processes to be
served for the coming quarter sessions."
BIRMINHHAIS AND OVIPORD RAILWAY.—It is stated
that the receipts upon this line are already between
10001. and 11001. per week. The Great Western Corn
parry have not yet commenced the goods traffic. About
40001. per week will be required to pay a fair dividend
upon the outlay. The opening of this line has not had
any apparent effect upon the receipts of the London and
North-Western Railway, which last week were upwards
of 40001. in excess of those of 1850. The mileage re-
ceipt of the last week of the London and North-Western
shows an increase over that of 1850.

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND GREAT WES-
TERN RAILWAYS.—It is stated that the committee
appointed at the Liverpool meeting, which was held a
short time since for the purpose of promoting an
amicable settlement of the differences between the above
Companies, have had an interview with the Euston-
square, and also with the Paddington authorities.
MANCHESTER AND MILFORD ITATEN.—The plan for
uniting Manchester and the North with Milford Haven
and the South by direct railway communication, is now
fully before the Welch people, and great interest has been
taken in the subject. The projects are—first, the Welsh
Union from Carmarthen via Llanidloes, Shrewsbury,
to Manchester, distance 195 miles; the second, N.! the
Leo-
minster and Shrewsbury, is 200 miles in lengtelle
third, vit Aberyswith and Shrewsbury, diste_nswoB4o,

I all these
and Chester, has a distance of 168 milss•wale, line it
projects the lines run into the South
Carmarthen.
THE CONFES,IONAL AT PLYMOUTH.—It is said the
Bishop of Exeter had no right toee Court of Arches,
xpfet the Rev. Mr.
Greaves to carry this matter into th
as his lordship had the remedy
completely
in his own
