FRANCE.

The forms, as well as the essence, .of French in stitu-
lions are every day becoming less and less Repu'o;ii;an.
A decree in the Moniteur of Saturday prescribes that
public documents be entitled " Louis Napoleon, Presi-
dent of the French Republic. To all present al id to
come, greeting," &c. Up to a recent period the com-
pliment of " Au nem du Peuple Francais" was pa id to
the national sovereignty.
Letters from Brignolles (Var) state that 1,000 persons
engaged in the insurrectionary movement of the Bacses-
Alpes, in December last, and who were sentenoed to
transportation, have passed through that town ia de-
tachments of 100 each. They were on their way to
Toulon where ships of war were waiting to receive em.
It is reported that a Bishop of Cayenne will be
created for the new penitentiary establishmeat in
French Guiana.

SPAIN.
The accounts from Madrid are of the 10th inst.
According to a return, published by the Gazette, the
debentures of the public debt, presented for conversion
in February last, amounted to 153,288,950 reels.
The port of Malaga was visited on the 6th by a
violent hurricane, in the course of which several vessels
were wrecked on the coast.
The Three per Cents. were done at 384 for time; the
New Three per Cents. at 19; the Debt of the first class,
at 7i; that of the second class at 5,i; and the Coupons
at 10i.

time, as a victor, from the racing world, re-appeared Yester-
day in his old form, and let a few of the bookmakers •in, by
just winning the Free Ilandic,ap by a head..
The Military Steeplechases will be run off to-niorrow,coom.
meocing at two o'clock, with a Sweeptakes of 5 soya. each
p p,, with a bonus added ; for horses , bona . fide the
proßerty of officers in full pay of the army, llst each. Pe-
nalties for previous winnings. The winner to be sold for
100 sow. by public auction. Most of the entries tor • this
stake will figure at 'the post, and the race Will probably ter-
initiate in the victory of Spectator or Orange Girl, without
Welcome spoils their game. The second race is for a gold
sup, value 100 soya., with a Moans-Adcled,to a sweepstakes of
10 sous. each, hit, &c. This will be the most interesting
race of the day; the weight is 12st each and penal-
ties for previous winnings. The struggle for as-
periority will lie, I fancy, with Hawksworth,
Medora, Proceed, the Highlander and the Treasurer;
_and if
Hawksworth does not win I imagine ,fedora or Proceed
will. _ _

The Welter Stakes will conclude the day's sport, and, in
all likelihood, be won by Bushranger or the Highlander.
On Friday there are no less than six races for decision,
three of which have not as yet closed. Ido not intend to
enter into minute • particulars, but state at once that the
Grand Annual will be closely contested at the finish by
Peter Simple, Oscar, Half-and-Half, St. Helier and Maurice
Daley ; PETER SLYPLE or OSCAR the winner, Maurice Daley
close up.
The Free Handicap looks well for Victress, Gulnare, or
Widow Machree, and the Hurdle-race, a foregone conclu-
sion, for Half-and-Half or Bullfinch.
The following are the prices on the Steeplechases. Gold
Cup : 3 to 1 agst Hawksworth ; sto 1 agst any other.
Grand Annual :-4 to 1 agst Oscar, taken freely ; 6 to 1
agst Peter Simple ; 6 to 1 agst Maurice Daley ; 8 to 1
agst Half-and-Half ; 10 to 1 agst St. Helier ; 10 to 1 agst
the Young-un. Hurdle-race :-5 to 2 agst Haf-and-Half—
take 3 to 1; 5 to 1 agst any other.

GLOUCESTER

The nomination is fixed for Tuesday. A strong oppo-
sition has been got up against Admiral Berkeley, and
Mr. H. T. Hope 14 to be put in nomination on the other
side. He sat for the city for several years, and was
rejected at the last election.

SOUTHAMPTON.
Sir A. G. Cockburn will be opposed by Mr. A. B.
Cochrane, who formerly sat for Bridport.

CAVAN.

Sir John Young is to be treated to a contest in Cavan,
and, what is most probable, he will be signally defeated.
The good men and true of that county are determined
to punish the "combinator" against the late Govern-
ment, which possessed their confidence. The Hon.
Cavendish Butler, and Mr. Humphreys, of Ballyhaise,
are spoken of on the part of the Conservatives, who are
about to meet to select a candidate.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that be has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. May 30, 1851.
"We promised in a former number that we should recur to this
work, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of Quiet Symathisers,'
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who stiffer from th com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

in the morning. The men who are to form part of
it are taken from their beds, and immediately con-
veyed to the provisional depots. It frequently
happens that the richh-beconae 'acquainted with the
day fixed on, and they absent themselves from
their homes, but it is useless for the poor to do so,
as they are sure to be found. As for the Jews
,who. absent themselves, the Commune is respon-
sible for them."
The Tyrolese, the most bigoted Catholics in
Austria; have ventured to raise objections to the re-
installation of the Liguorians in Innspruck. The
provincial Solicitor-General, a thordugh " Ultra-
montanist," was so dissatisfied at this that he has
ceased to be a member of the Municipal Council of
Innspruck. The papers say that Baron Prokesch
has been appointed Austrian Minister at the Papal
Court, but nothing has until now beep. decided in
this matter. It is reported that the ex-Emperor
Ferdinand made his will a few days since. His
Majesty inherited all the moveables of the late
Emperor Francis, who left very large sums in ready
money.

Letters from Venice of the 22d, in the Augsburg

Austria, to express the regret of the population of
.Venice at the circUmstanco
.that, there were three
Venetians among the persons lately executed at

observed that the Chamber having only six weeks
do run t?f.the present session, could not have time to

commence about the middle of March. It appears
that the 'Ministry is now disposed to grant letters
of naturalisation to M. Mamiami, the ex-minister

subject have been entirely removed. M. Mamiami
is to. arrive here next month to open with a speech
the sitting of the Committee of Italian Philosophy
and the letters of naturalisation will then be given
to him; as has 'already been done for Professor
Scialoja, the Neapolitan exile, whose name is so
well known to all men of science."

it are taken from their beds; and immediately con-
veyed to the provisional depots. It frequently
happens that the rich become acquainted with the
day fixed on, and they absent.themselves from
their homes, but it is useless for the poor to do so,
as they are sure to be found. As for the Jews
who absent themselves, the Commune is respon-

The Tyrolese, the most bigoted Catholics in
Austria, have ventured to raise objections to the re-
installation of the Liguorians in. Innspruck. The
provincial Solicitor-General, a thorough "
Ultra-
montanist," was so dissatisfied at this that he has
ceased to be a member of the Municipal Council of
Innspruck. The papers say that Baron Prokesch
has been appointed Austrian Minister at the Papal
Court, but nothing has until now been decided in
this matter. It is reported that the ex-Emperor
Ferdinand made his will a few days since. His
Majesty inherited all the moveables of the late
Emperor Francis, who left very large sums in ready

TURKEY.

The Porte has finally decided that a military ex-
pedition against Montenegro shall take place, in
order to •pnnish.the lawless mountaineers, who come
down from their recesses and plunder the villages
of Herzegovina. •
Ismail Pacha has received instructions to march
into that' province, at the head of 14,000 men.
Seven districts' bordering on the confines of Mon-
tenegro.have declared 'against the authority of the
Sultan ; they,
.are Grahora, Bagnia, Piva, Djupa,
Nishishska, Drobnack, and two districts of Bihor.
The Arnaout districts to the east have sided with
the Government,. and have demanded arms and
ammunition for 4,000 men. • Notwithstanding that
Russia has officially declared that it will guard a
strict neutrality, the ' preaenCe of General Koudri-
affsky and a staff of officer's greatly annoy the Porte.
All parties now look in that direction.
A letter from Constantinople states that the Sul-
tan has had a suitable house purchased for Abd-el-
Kader at Broussa. . . •
The Porte has not yet decided on renewing the
charter of the Bank of Constantinople,c which ex-
pires the 13th of March.- Consequently, the direc-
tors have publicly 'announced that* lienceforward
they cannot give bills on London or Paris: The
poUnd sterling, _Whicli was , regulated at 110, has
risen to 118, and would go ultimately higher were
it not kept down 'by the large quantities of bills in
the market on account of the shipments of grain
and produce to Europe. The Government has
communicated to the commercial body, however,
that the exchange will be regulated by a new sys-
tem. What this is to be is not yet public. It is
stated positively that the wealthy banker, T. Bal-
tazzi, has made proposals to furnish bills at 110
piastres per pound for the year 1853, on condition
of receiving'an indemnity of 60,0001. By the bank
operations the Government lost three times this
amount. ......... •
... .
The Porte in its reply to a note complaining of
the:intended -in-the navigation of .the
Bosphorus, declares that it cannot depart from its
recently'announced decision. - Reschid Pasha, the
GoVernor of-Bosnia, has advised the Porte to make
an exception to the prohibition of foreign coin in
favour of that province. It is alleged that the
new law, if carried out, would have a ruinous
effect on commerce, as all the hard cash in ciroula-
tion in Bosnia consists of *Austrian ducats and
zwanzigcrs.

FATAL COALPIT ACCIDENT. —A fatal accident oc-
curred at Wishaw on Saturday, about two o'clock in
the afternoon, at Mr. Watson's coalpit, by which two
men were killed on the spot. A boy on the pit-head
was in the act of putting an empty hutch on the cage,
as he thought, but shocking to tell, he put it on the
wrong side, the cage at that side being at the bottom
of the pit, with three men upon it ready to come up.
One man heard the hutch coming tumbling down the
shaft and jumped off ; but the other two were crushed
in a moment. The boy fell with the hutch, but caught
the rope when about half way down the pit, and was
thus wonderfully caved.—North British, Mail.

On the 12th and 13th a sharp action took place
near Podgorizza; in which the ;light cavalry of the
Turks at first gz,iined a- slight advantage. The
Montenegrines, however, received strong reinforce-
ments from Piperi, and the Turks were routed. A
truce is said to have been concluded until the de-
cision of the Sultan on the claims of the Montane-
pines has .been received. The fortress of Szabljak,
which is.being repaired, has received a fresh garri-
son of 800 Montenegrines. Prince Daniel has re-
turned to his mountains.

GREECE.

We read in the Moniteur:-- " The news of the
proclamation of the Empire in France reached
Athens,' vid Trieste, on the 15th inst. A few
minutes after this news had been communicated by
the French Minister in Greece to the Commander-
in-Chief of our naval forces in - the LeVant, - the
French vessels of war anchored at the Piraeus were
dressed . out with flags, amidst . cries seven, times
repeated of ' Vive rEmpereur !' and a salute of
101 guns was fired. A Russian. corvette and brig
of war, two Greek. vessels, and a ,Neapolitan cor-
vette, the captains of which had only a few minutes
before been informed ay the French admiral of
what had taken place, also dressed themselves out
in' flags; and their, cannon saluted at the same time
as our .the Sovereign proclaimed-by-France. The
two Russian
.. commandants show:ed '• particular
eagerness in coming to compliment the commander
of the French squadron, and the latter on the fol-
lowing day responded. to their courtesy, by' cele-
brating like them the fite day of the Emperor of
Russia.'? • •
M. Paicos; the Minister for Foreign Affairs at
Athens;-has (says the Moniteur) officially announ-.
ced to M. Forth-Rouen, the French Minister there,
the lively satisfaction ,:okith which the . King of
Greece had received the news. of..the accession of
the Emperor to the throne. NeW letters' of cre-
dence were immedititely transmitted to M. Mavro

ivate letters from Brest, dated the 27th, men-
lat much activity is observable in the dockyards

orders for sea by, the Ist of October. Her
iation is said to be Toulon, to which port she
. 200 marines and a quantity of timber fur
allots. She is likewise to take on hoard 15,000 rations.
The frigate Africaine, and the transport ships the
Caravanea, Allier, and Prosercine, of 800 tons, are to
he commissioned on the Ist. These vessels are, it is
said, to convey troops to the colonies, to relieve those
at present stationed there, The Souffieur and the
steam corvette Laborieux had arrived, and been taken
iuto dock.
Letters from the Belgian frontier state that the
miners of Mons had manifested intentions of commit-
ting depredations in France. Orders are stated to
have been given to the military commandants of the
frontier towns to repel any such should they be at-
tempted. The same letters add that the garrison of
Lille was yesterday kept in its barracks, with the view
of noting if necessary.
The itlessager de Gand states that all the beads of
the linen factories in that neighbourhood have just
held a meeting, to take into consideration the present
critical situation of their business, in consequence of
the commercial differences between Belgium and
France. 'filet meeting eventually decided to send in
a memorial to the Belgian Gaverllment, to impress
on it the necessity of immediately resuming the ne-
gotiations.
The Maniteur publishes the official returns of the
price of wheat ie the various markets of France, from
which it appears that the highest price is 23 francs

lowest price is 15 francs 34 centimes the hectolitre at

32-pounders, of 56 cwt. each, and 32-pounders, of

effect, should their services ever be required. Not-
withstanding all the reports of the high performances
of the Napoleon French screw steam-ship of the same
class, and about the same size as the Agamemnon, but
fitted with engines of 1,000-horse power, it is very
questionable whether the Agamemnon will not in all
respects equal her, although fitted with engines of
comparatively much less nominal poser, which do not
occupy one-half the space, and probably do not weigh
one-third of the Napoleon's.

characteristics, and some graceful remark s upon
Pope—a poet who is one of the paramount rulers
in English literature. We protest, however, against
the critic's assumption that, because two poets have
similar expressions, the later writer necessarily bor-
rowed the ides, or the turn of thought, from the
elder. The third number of the Englishman's Ma-
gazine disappoints us. We think well of the at-
tempt to bring down the price of magazines, but
then their quality must not be brought down
also. There is too much carping here at
eminent men. Disraeli, Dickens, and Ali-
son are not to be sneered down so easily as some
of the " unappreciated" may fancy. Lawson's Mer-
chant's Magazine opens with a clever plea in favour
of young Life Assurance Companies, which contains
a great deal of truth. We also notice a well writ-
ten paper on City Architecture, which has the merit
of being too brief. There is a great collection of
statistical information on subjects of commerce, which
will be of much use to mercantile men. This maga-
zine may now be considered as firmly established in
public favour. The Farmer's Magazine rejoices, as
is its wont, in the progress of agriculture, and no pe-
riodical has contributed more efficiently to the
advancement of this good cause. The best
article is Mr. Rowlandson's on the " Science of
,l'ltinuring." The remarks on " The Effects of the
tve Gold Fields on Agriculture" are extremely in-
genious and practical. In the Eclectic Review a very
good memoir of the famous Admiral Blake is

There is a clever vindication of Shaks-

any but an Eclectic critic would give to the poetry of
Coleridge or Tennyson. The lines on a" Shetland

TURKEY.

The Constantinople correspondent of the Ost-
Deutsehe Post writes, under date Sept. 18, " The
English fleet is expected at Smyrna to support the
negotiations which are now going on between the
Porte and the maritime Powers relative to the right
of their men-of-war to pass the Dardanelles and Boa-
phorus. The Powers demand free passage through
the straits, that privilege having been granted to the
French war-steamer Charlemagne. The excuse
made by the Porte i 3 that the French Ambassador
was on board the vessel, which hoisted a white flag.
To this the reply is, " We too will always have a
white flag flying whenever we pass the Straits." It
is considered highly probable that a Russian fleet will
appear before Trebizond and Varna.
