THOMAS HOOD'S GRAVE.—The publication
in Eliza's Cook's Journal of" Lines written at Kensall-green
Cemetry," has induced numerous readers to express an earnest de-
sire to assist in raising a fund for the purpose of placing a memorial
over the remains of" Poor Hood."
Many a burst of merriment has echoed above " Hood's Comic
Annual," from the lips of all classes. For many a year he cheered
our Christmas firesides with racy humour, that never wearied by
its frivolity nor offended by its coarseness. Far and wide was he
known as the Poet of Mirth: but the higher development of his
genius and the nobler purpose of his muse were shown in such
glorious hymns as " The Song of the Shirt" and the " Bridge of
Sighs." Those who have read either of these poems will acknow-
ledge that such a man deserves to have a mark upon his sleeping-
place, so that it may be found without the help of a grave-yard
servant, and an who have laughed at his inimitable wit, or sighed
over his human tenderness, are now earstly solicited 6. spare
what they can in aid of a purpose which is alike praiseworthy in
tne living and due to the dead.
At the request of the committee, Miss Eliza Cook has consented
to be Treasurer to the fund, and Mr. John Watkins to be Honorary

Secretary.
Subscriptions will be received by Mr. William Strudwicke, at the
Whittington Club, Arundel-street, Strand • at the office of Eliza
Cook's Journal, 3, Raquet•court, pleet-srea ; by Miss Eliza Cook,
54, Great Ormo nde-street, Bloomsbury gland by Mr. John Watkins

THE FRENCH EMPIRE.

The Paris journals of yeaterdal are principally
taken up with the speech tof the Chancellor of the
xchequer, which has excited much attention, an d
ndeed admiration. The Debats rejoices to be able
to find in the full adoption of the principle of un-
restricted competition, an argument against the
narrow exclusiveness of the French commercial
code. The Patrie, organ of the Government, is
not pleased at the confirmation which the favour-
able reception of the Minister's statement in Par-
liament and by the press affords of its prophecies
in favour of the stability of the Cabinet. With
regard to local affairs, the Constitutionmel argues
that the great rise in French securities springs
from the generally prosperous state of the country,
and not from manoeuvres of any kind or forced
speculation. Proof that its view is correct lies (it
says) in the fact that there is equal activity in all
branches of commerce.

Lord Cowley has received his credentials as Am-
bassador to the Emperor Napoleon 111.
The Emperor heard mass on Sunday in the
chapel of the Tuileries.
In all the churches of the diocese of Paris, the
Domine salvunt fac Imperatorent nostrum Napo-
leonent was chanted on Sunday according to the
form prescribed in 1804 by the Holy See.'
The Senate was sitting yesterday on the subject
of the civil list, which it i& well known will be
nominally_ twenty-five millOwsk- but in. reality
nearer to thirty millions, for the Emperor will be
allowed from four to five millions for keeping the
Imperial chateaux in order. A further sum of
two millions and a half is granted for the imme-
diate relatives of the Emperor. It is now affirmed
that the Pope will come to Paris to crown the
Emperor on the 30th of May next, and afterwards
proceed to Milan to crown the Emperor of Austria
and King of Hungary.

The Government has received by telegraph ac-
counts of the proclamation of the Empire in the
departments, particularly at Lyons, Rouen, Or-
leans, Nantes, Tours, Toulouse, Bar-le-Duc, Va-
lence, St. Etienne, trasbourg, Nancy, Lille, and
Valenciennes. The proclamation was • made in
presence of the civil and military authorities, and
in the midst of enthusiastic cries of " hive Napo-
leon III." The clergy spontaneously offered its
co-operation to the civil authorities in causing Te
Deums to be sung, as a proof of the part taken by
religion in this great national event. The towns
have also everywhere voted funds for charitable

purposes, and have thus eagerly responded to the
noble ideas of the chief of the state, and to the
example given by the city of Paris.
We read, in the last number of the Revue des
Beaux Arts :

" The authorities have ordered the withdrawal from
the windows of the printsellers of a lithographic print,
representing Prince Louis Napoleon in the robes of the
Emperor. The Emperor, it is said, has renounced the
idea of the Spanish costume, to adopt, as the insignia of
the ceremonial, the uniform of marshal, accompanied
with the ermine mantle, covered with bees and the crown
of the Empire, which will be modified in such a manner
as to make it accord with the military dress."

ri Abd-el-Kader, who has left Paris for Amboise, is
to return to the capital on Thursday, to proceed
by railway to Marseilles. Commandant Boisson-
net, at the request of the Emir, is to accompany
him to Broussa.

The number of Marshals of France, which was
recently reduced to four, by the deaths of Mar-
shals Gerard and Excelmans, is by the recent pro-
motions of Generals Magnan, Leroy de Saint-
Arnaud and de Castellane, seven. The other four
are Marshal Reille, who was named in 1847, by
King Louis Philippe, the Prince Jerome Bona-
parte, Marshal Harispe, and Marshal Valliant,
named in 1851 under the presidency of Louis
Napoleon.

SPAIN.

A Madrid letter, of the Ist., says :—" The can-
didate for the presidency of the Chamber of Depu-
ties, supported by the moderate opposition and the
progressists, M. Martinez de la Rosa, has been
elected to day by a majority of 121. against 107
obtained by M. Tejada, the Ministerial candidate.
Many persons infer from this check upon the minis-
ters, that they will be compelled to resign or dis-
solve the Chamber. It is thought that the vice-
president and secretaries will also be chosen from
the 9pposition"_.

The-Madrid Gazette, of the Ist, publishes a royal
decree ordering the immediate commencement of
the works for an electric telegraph from Madrid to
the French frontier near Irun.

ITALY.
In the sitting of the 2d of the Chamber of De-
puties at Turin, Count Cavour, Minister of Finance
and President of the Council, made his financial
statement, which Svas listened to with uninterupted
attention. After showing that the financial condi-
tion of Piedmont was fast recovering from its pro-
stration, owing to the preceding measures, he an-
nounced that new loans were only to be had recourse
to for extraordinary expenses, and in case there were
no other means of meeting them ; that considerable
reductions would be made in the pnblic expen-
diture, but that nevertheless some increase of
taxation would be necessary. This is to be
distributed upon the entrance duties now under
discussion, the personal tax, duties,
ko., the commercial tax, the stamp
—and a new tax is to be
laid upon carriages. The amount of this increase
.
is laid at 14
to equalise the receipts with the expenditure. The
Minister then presented four bills, viz., two for
the sanction of the budgets of expenses and receipts
for 1853, one to authorise the Government to levy
taxes until the end of March, 1853, and one for
the alienation of two millions of francs of Rente.
The Risorpmento of Turin of the 3d, states,
from Florence, that arrests continue to be made in
several towns of Tuscany, the police having dis-
covered, it is said, immense quantities of docu-
ments relating to a widely organized conspiracy.

SWITZERLAND.
According to letters from Genoa and Berne, an
Anglo-Swiss company has applied to the Govern-
ment for permission to construct the entire web of i
railways projected
.n Switzerland. The expense
of these railways will amount to several hundred
million francs, owing to the great difficulties of
execution. The railway considered the most im-
portant is one which, passing through Mont St.
Bernard, will go from Lausanne to the valley of
Aosto by Vevey, and join the Sardinian line which
goes to Turin. The same railway will be united
to the French lines, so that Paris and London will
be within easy reach of Turin. and Genoa. The
Swiss authorities have applied to the Sardinian
Government for its co-operation in the execution of
the works in the Mont S. t. Bernard and that Go-
vernment has promised it. The proposed line from
Lausanne to Turin will be 200 kilometres in
length ; whereas that projected. by Lyons, Geneva,
Chambery, and Mont Cents would_ibe about 310
1 kilometres.
