FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 23, 1852.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
, The Patric announces that a Ministry of Police
will be organized, and that the new Minister of Police
will be M. DE MAUPAS. We presume that M. DE
MAUPAS will take FOUCHE and SAVARY as his models.
The anniversary of the execution of Louts XVI.
was observed as strictly as it was wont to be under the
regime of the Restoration.
The Moniteur publishes three decrees, signed by
the PRESIDENT of the Republic and the inisters of
Finances and Public Works, for the repurchase of the
rights belonging to the company of the Burgundy
Canal, the company of the canal from the Rhine to
the Rhone, and the Quatre Canaux.
The Moniteur publishes also a decree permitting
sugar refiners to receive foreign raw sugars for the
purpose of being refined and re-exported free of duty ;
and another decree fixing the import duty on manu-
factured tobacco, with the exception of cigars, at 10f.
per kilogramme.
The salaries of the Government administrators of
the telegraphic lines have just been fixed by decree—
the chief at 15,000 f., the first deputy at 10,0001.,
the second at 9,000 f.
We read in the Gazette de France :—" It is said
that the costume of the senators will be magnificently
embroidered, at least if we may believe the designs which
an artist has been ordered to draw. It is not yet
known whether the coat will be in cloth or in velvet,
the cut of it will be quite French, but more elegant
than any that has been yet seen. In bringing em-
broidery into use for functionaries, it is wished to
give a fresh impulse to that branch of industry which
has long been suffering severely both in Paris and at
Nancy.
Several architects (says the Gazette de France)
are now engaged in drawing up artistical plans for
the national fete, which is to tak place towards the
end of next month, in honour of the Constitution of
1852. In order to attract a great number of visitors
to Paris, it is in contemplation to have the fete con-
tinue for eight days, each day to be marked by a
special programme.
We read in the Constitutionnel :—" A report has
recently been addressed to the Government of Dutch
Guiana, by M. SPANDELWICH, an engineer, giving
an account of the discovery of auriferous lands at the
southern extremity of the province of Paramaribo.
A committee was immediately formed to examine
into the reality and importance of this discovery. If
the fact be confirmed it will merit the attention of
France and England, whose possessions in that part
of America are contiguous to those of Holland. It
is well known that the geological and mineralogical
constitution of all the region comprised between the
Atlantic, the Amazon, the Rio Negro, the Cassi-
quiare, and the Oronoco, known under the general
name of Guiana, is entirely similar."
The Echo de la Frontiere :states that the Belgian
police on the French frontier exercise the sharpest
surveillance over every foreigner who presents him-
self. A special agent inspects every traveller, and
examines with the greatest minuteness the passport of
each, and the party presenting it.
The Public states that the Bulletin Francais, con-
ducted at Brussels by M. ALEXANDER THOMAS, and
which contained some sharp attacks on the French
Government, has been suppressed by the KING of the
BELGIANS. M. THOMAS and his co-editors have been
expelled from Belgium.
A species of panic prevailed at the Bourse caused by
the announcement of the withdrawal of M. de Morny
from the Ministry of the Interior. The Five per Cents.
opened at 103 f. 25c , and fell to 102 f. 50c., at which
price they closed for the end of the month; the Three
per Cents, closed at 65c. 25c.; Orleans Railroad Shares,

for establishing a special court for the trial of crimes
of high treason, and serious offences against the safety
of the country, either at horn° or abroad, was brought
forward add developed by its author. It was sup-
ported by a number of Members, but no vote was
come to on the measure.

SWITZERLAND.
The Radicals of the Canton of Berne have at last
come to an agreement to demand that the present
Government, which is Conservative, shall be dis-
missed, and be replaced by a Radical one. As the
Radicals are in the majority, this demand is not con-
trary to the Constitution. The Government was
elected for four years, only two of which have
expired.

GRLECE.
SERIOUS ILLNESS OF THE KING.
Accounts from Athens, received at Frankfort on
the 17th, announce that the King of GREECE has be-
come seriously ill.

LATEST FROM PARIS.

CHANGES IN THE MINISTRY.

THE ORLEANS FAMILY CANNOT
HOLD PROPERTY IN FRANCE,

(BY SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.)
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
PARIS, FRIDAY MORNING.

De Morny and Fould leave the Ministry, and are
replaced by De Persigny, Abbattucci, and Binault.
De Maupas is gazetted as Minister of Police.
Another new Ministry, named Ministry of State,
is created, and occupied by Casabianca.
A decree is promulgated which enacts that the
members of the Orleans family, their husbands and
consorts, and descendants, cannot possess any pro-
perty (moveable or immoveable) in France. They
are bound to sell them within the year, and in default
they will be sold by the domain. Another decree
cancels the donation made by Louis Philippe o❑ the
7th August to his children, and enacts that their pro-
perties, of about two hundred millions of francs, shall
be employed as follows :

Ten millions to societies of secours mutuels. Ten
millions to the improvement of the lodgings for the
working classes. Ten millions to the establishment
of a credit foncier. Five millions to a benefit fund
for the poorer clergy. All the officers, sub-officers,
and soldiers in active service will receive, according
to their rank in the Legion of Honour. The legion-
ary, 250 f.; the officers, 500 f.; commanders, 1,000 f.;
grand officers, 2,000 f.; grand crosses, 3,000 f.
A national palace will serve for an establishment for
the education of orphans and families whose heads
have obtained a military medal, which entitles them
to a pension for life of 100 f.

The palace of Saverne will serve as an asylum to
the widows of high functionaries, civil as well a mili-
tary, who have died in the service of the state, and the
state is charged with payment of their debts.
Civil list of last reign [sic].

The dowry of 300,000 f. granted to the Duchess o
Orleans is maintained.

The President renounces all claims respecting con
fiscations pronounced in 1814 and 1815 against 80.
naparte families.

The decrees are countersigned by the Minister of
State Cassabianca.—Dai/y News.

WEST INDIA MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY, 10 30 A M.
The Clyde, Captain Moss, has just arrived; Admi-
ralty agent, Lieutenant Percival, R.N. Her dates
are—Jamaica, Dec. 30 ; Demerara, 27; Trinidad, 29.
Amongst her cargo is specie to the value of one
million three hundred and fifty-three thousand four
hundred and forty six dollars on merchants' account.
It would appear from the last accounts from
Yucatan that there was a temporary cessation of hos-
tilities between the Indians and the Yucatans, and
that the town of Bacalar still continues in the pos-
session of the latter.

From Demerara we learn that the election for
Essequibo has terminated in the triumphant return
of the Government candidate.

On the 30th of December a public meeting was to
take place in George Town to co-operate with the
Anti-Slavery Society in London, in making two
appeals, one to the British Parliament, the other to
the British Government.

During the last fortnight the weather has been
delightful. The present year's crop will considerably
exceed that of 1850.

From New Granada we learn that slavery was to
he abolished throughout the Republic on the ht of
January.
According to Jamaica newspaper accounts the
weather bad changed, and it was hoped that cholera
would soon disappear. It was still, however, very
virulent in some places ; the small pox is also scouring
some parts of the island. A public meeting had
taken place at Kingston to make arrangements for
the establishment of a steam-packet communication
between Jamaica and the Spanish main.

LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SCHOOL.—Last night the
annual ball on behalf of this benevolent institution was held
at the London Tavern. The licensed victuallers are a nume-
rous and influential fraternity. Their society was esta-
blished in 1794, incorporated by Royal charter in 1836, and
now consists of about 3,200 members. They are now re-
lieving above 300 persons, at an expense of nearly 4,3004
per annum. Upwards of 140 children are being maintained
and educated in their school, and 1,241 children have been
admitted into the institution since its establishment. Up-
wards of 1,100 ladies and gentlemen were present at the
ball, and the dancing was kept up until a late hour. In
the course of the evening, a handsome silver snuff-box was
presented by Mr. Findley, the governor of the coporation,
to Mr. Frampton, in testimony of his gratuitous services as
arbiter-elegantiarum for seven years at the annual balls of
the society.

THE ROYAL WEST INDIA MAIL STEAM-SHIP
Ontwoco.—This splendid new steam-ship (sister vessel of
the ill-fated Amazon) was to have left her moorings at
Blackwall yesterday afternoon, and to have proceeded down
the river, on her way to Southampton, to take up her sta-
tion on the new line of route to Chagres, &c. Her steam
was got up, and Captai❑ Nelson, Captain Chapple, and
other officials of the Royal West India Mail Company, were
on board to witness the result of her first trip. After some
delay, however, it was announced that she would not pro-
ceed on that day. The reason for the detention we could not
learn. Her expected departure drew a large crowd of
persons on the Blackwall Pier. She is a timber vessel, and
in size, power, and form of build is much like the unfortu-
nate Amazon. It is more than probable that she will not
leave the Thames until to-morrow (Saturday).
DEATH OF SERGEANT HEATH.—Yesterday at the
sitting of the Bloomsbury County Court, Portland•road, a
communication was made to the Judge pro tem. C. E. Pol-
lock, Esq., that Mr. Sergeant Heath, father of the presiding
Judge thereof (Mr. D. D. Heath) had died at his residence
No. 34, Montague-place, Russell-square, on the previous
afternoon. The deceased having become an admitted mem-
ber of the Inner Temple commenced practice in the Court of
Common Pleas, from whence he was appointed as the
deputy-judge under Mr. Sergeant Dubois, deceased, at the
County Court of Middlesex, Kingsgate•street. On the
abolition of that court Mr. Sergeant Heath's bon was instal-
led as a Judge of the Bloomsbury County Court in conjunc-
tion with Mr. Dubois. The deceased sergeant died sur-
rounded by his friends after an illness of not long duration in
the 74th year of his age.

ADULTERATED PEPPER.—On Wednesday the fol-
lowing fines were inflicted by the Court of Inland Revenue
upon grocers found in possession of adulterated pepper :
501. upon John Scott, 15, Gray's Inn-lane ; 101., J. S. Chad-
well, Great Suffolk-street, Southwark; Si., Ile,,ry Smith,
23, Bermondsey-street; John Reynals,Unon-street, South-
wark; and Thomas Hart, of the same locality.
Loss OF THE AMAZON.—We understand that it is
intended to hold an official inquiry into the loss of the
Amazon under the powers given to the Board of Trade by the
Steam Navigation Act of last session. The inquiry will
begin at twelve o'clock on Monday next, at the Council
Chamber, Whitehall, and will be conducted by Captain
Beechey, R.N., and Captain Walker, H.C.S., both members
of the naval department of the Board of Trade.
REPRESENTATION OF NOTTINGHAM.—An address,
from Mr. Thomas Gisborne, ex-M.P. for the borough of
Nottingham, has been distributed amongst the electors of
that town. The following is the most important part of
it :—"At the last dissolution I was one of your representa-
tives, but at the election which followed you thought fit to
elect Mr. Feargus O'Connor in my stead. I have such un-
limited respect for the uncontrolled action of any consti-
tuency that I neither felt at the time, nor have I since felt,
that I had any right to complain. But as I :entertain the
conscientious belief that 1 never, to the best of my judg-
ment, acted, as your representative, inconsistently with any
principle which I had professed to you, and that I never, ex-
cept under the pressure of severe illness (which it has pleased
God to remove), neglected either my general duties as a
Member of Parliament, or any business in which you were
specially interested, I think that I shall not act disrespect-
fully
to you if I request that, on the occurrence of another
election, you will reconsider your decision. If it should be

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS'
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were ee•
timated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for
export and 2,000 on speculation. The market Was
firmer, but prices remained the same. The sales coal'
prised 5,500 American, 200 Pernam and Maranharn, at
kid. to 61d ; 100 Bahia, at 5-0. to 511; 100 Egyptian,
at nit. to 61d.; and 2,000 Surat at 2td. to aid. per
The Railway Share Market was active at previous rateo•
The extent of the sales made in the Produce markets
has been moderate this week, and unattended by anY
excessive fluctuation in prices. The demand for sugar
seems to have improved a little. Rice has been steady'.
No improvement has occurred in tea, and tallow has
been dull. Cotton keeps at about the previous rated.
Spices have had a steady sale. Upon the state of the
dried fruit trade Messrs. Witherby and Hanson report
as follows:

"Since December nine cargoes, with about 1,200 ton',
have arrived at this port, and five cargoes at Liverpool.
There will be very few arrivals to announce next month,
and probably for some weeks later. Of the eighty-one
cargoes of New Currants received here to 20th instant+
eight only were Island fruit. The total quantity 0n
which duty was paid in London during 1851 was about
12,730 tons, against 10,250 tons in 1850, being 3
increase of nearly 25 per cent. Although the Liverpool
deliveries in 1851 have, on the contrary, fallen off 500
tons, or about 8 per cent , yet the total consumption of
the United Kingdom during the first eleven months of
1851 has exceeded that of the corresponding months 0,
.
1850 by 2,497 tons, or nearly 14 per cent. A note 0'
the monthly clearances in London during the last nve
years, with the ruling price of Patras fruit, is submitteu,
at foot. From the commencement of the season until
the 31st December last, 78 cargoes of new fruit, in all
11,250 tons, had arrived upon a heavy stock of upwards
of 5,000 tons of old fruit. During the like period of the
previous season only 47 cargoes had arrived,
besides which we had 550 tons from the Continent,
in all 7,300 tons, upon a moderate stock of 2,300
tons of old fruit. The stock at the close of 1850 did not
exceed 5,000 tons, but owing to the unusually early abir
ments this season it reached on the 31st of December,
1851, about 8,600 tons, whereof only 1,600 tons con'
sisted of old fruit, so extensive had been the shipment
from hence to the Continent since the beginning of tte
present season. From the Ist of January to the 3191 of
March, 1851, we received here 3,500 tons, but, as intl.'
mated above, the importations during the first three
months of this year will be much below that quantity,
so that at the end of March the London stock will pro:;
bably not much exceed that of the 31st of March, 1851.
Of raisins it is stated that stocks are much the salve
asat this time last year, and the trade do not hold largely
The West India mail steamer has arrived, with
1,300,000 dollars in specie.

The new Belgium loan is divided, it is said, between
the National Bank, Messrs. Bothschilds Brothers, the
Socike Ge, 6rale, and the Bank of Belgium. Tb°
amount is 26 millions of francs issued in a Five Per
Cent. Stock at 100 A, with interest from the Ist of last
November. Part of the loan is reserved for public sub'
scription.

The Amsterdam Bourse on the 21st inst. was firm
for Dutch Stock. A good deal was done in Span°
but at lower rates. Russian was supported.
The English Stocks have been much depressed, and
the cause is the important intelligence just received by
telegraph of the change of Ministry, Binault succeeding
Fuld in the department of Finance, and De WrOY
leaving also. The sale ordered of the Orleanist proper',
is also looked upon as a most vindictive proceeding, sirc°,l

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAIL;
wAy.—(Tms DAY.)—This morning shortly after eight
o'clock an unfortunate accident, terminating in the abll,l "
instantaneous death of a gentleman, name at present ---*.
known, occurred at the Wandsworth station of the Lotke'
and South- Western Railway. It appears that although, the
name of the unfortunate gentleman could not be ascertanew
he was well known to the officials of the station as beiegi.a
hie
regular passenger. This morning he rushed upon the P
,40
form just as the train was emerging from the station. "e
was told that he was too late, but being anxious not to lodge
the train he ran after it, and as it was passing the
Platf°rra
he succeeded in laying hold of one of the handles of car't
riage, and then sprang on the foot-board for the purploet
stepping into the train. In his confusion, however, pie er
slipped, and after making several attempts to gain his forlttibe
position, he unfortunately lost his hold, and falling uPell rae
line he was so frightfully crushed that he died in the colt
of a few minutes afterwards.
DEATH Of MR. HERBERT RODWELL.—We regretl.o
to announce the death of this gentleman, which took Prt,
yesterday morning, at his residence in Upper Enury-etTr.
after a period of severe suffering from rheumatic gout. ,

Rodwell has been for many years known both in musical:or
literary circles as a composer and author. He possessed, end
siderable melodic taste and feeling, and produced balltws, A
slight concerted pieces of much sweetness and colour. .."0,.
dramatic author, Mr. Rodwell's efforts were principally rtr,
fined to pieces of a light and humorous cast, including, o
lesques and the openings of pantomimes. He producei:, 01d
serial works of fiction, each of which had a fair success-7,,,00
London Bridge" and "The Memoirs of an Umbrella.' Tithe
scenes from the latter were dramatised, and had a run at on
Adelphi. Altogether, Mr. Rodwell was a man of no Clogs
accomplishments, and his death will be regretted by' a
circle of acquaintances.

MARKET NE WS.-( THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

The present week's arrivals of English Wheat up to
one market, coastwise, has amounted to 3,210 quarters, a
large portion of which had been previously disposed of
by sample. Fresh up, to-day, the receipts by land car-
riage were small. Notwithstanding that, the stands ex-
hibited a scanty show of samples, the amount of business
doing in English Wheats was comparatively small, yet,
in some instances, the quotations were the turn in favour
of sellers. From abroad 4,600 quarters of Wheat have
arrived, mostly from the westward. Selected samples
moved off freely, and the currencies were considered
somewhat higher. In low and middling kinds very few
sales took place. Floating cargoes were neglected. A
full average supply of Barley was brought forward, yet
the trade ruled firm, at fully the late advance in prices.
Malt steady. Good sound Oats advanced 6d per quar-
ter. All other kinds were quite as dear. Beans, Peas,
Indian corn, and Flour, were in good request at Mon-
day's currency. The best French Flour produced 35a
per sack.

Although our market to-day was but moderately sup-
plied with Beasts, both as to number and quality, the
demand for that description of stock ruled heavy, at
prices barely equal to those of Monday last. The sup-
Ply of Sheep was small, yet it was fully equal to tne
wants of the buyers. In the quotations we have no
Change to report. The extreme value of the best old
Downs was 4s 4d per 81bs. Very few Calves were
brought forward, nevertheless the Veal trade ruled very
Inactive, at barely late rates. In Pigs next to nothing
Was doing. Mitch Cows were quoted from 141 to 18s sts
each, including their small Calf.
