OUNDLE STEEPLECHASES.
These steeplechases—got up principally, I believe) by
Messrs. Wright and Francis, of the Talbot and Dolrbil
Inns at Oundle—are under the stewardship of ;;he
of Cardigan, Lord Burghersh, and Herbert de Berg'
Esq. They are three in number. The entries for eve'

—have not as yet come to hand. The principal steel).

means, stand an inferior chance. This morning both
them seem to be considered as non-starters.
The Selling Stakes are booked a certainty for TO;

winner.

Last year, in addition to naming the majority o
winners of flat races, I was lucky enough to select too
winner of the first flat race of the year, and also of ti
last. Whether I shall be so successful this year or niit
of course I cannot say ; but I yesterday managed to
the mark with Cripple Kate in the first race of this leg,
and was very near placing the first three.
Owing to the hurry in which the last notes on td1):
Derby were put together, a couple of omissions, aclikeir
like number of blunders, were the consequence. °"y
bing's lot was stated to consist of four instead of 0
The two omitted were Beverlac and Moscow.

The Senate and Corps Legis!atif—or, as in Old times
we would have said, the Chambers—are convoked
for the 14th of February. M. Billault is reappointed
to the President's chair; Messrs. Schneider and Re-

Baraguay d'Hilliers and General Regnaud de St.

The comments of the London journals on the
approaching marriage must, generally speaking,
be considered as having satisfaction to the
Government, for copious extracts appear in the
Pays, Constitutionnel, and Debate, from the
Herald, Times, Standard, Post, and Sun as fairly
representing the different shades of parties,
and, on the whole, giving a pretty accurate
reflex of public opinion. As the articles referred
to take a favourable view of the marriage, it is
pleasant to be able to mark the readiness with which
the Government and its organs respond to the first
kindly breach in that system of hostility which has
on the part of one of the papers above named,
caused so much unpleasantness at this side. The
Debats mentions, however, with reference to the
Chronicle, that it could not any portion of its
article. Still some good has been done by the
proofs laid before the public this morning that
Englishmen are not all rabid on the subject of the
French Government.

A decree of the Emperor makes the following
nominations in the household of the Empress :
The Princess of • Essling, Grand Mistress ; the
Duchess de Bassano, Lady of Honour ; the Countess
Gustave de Montebello, Mme. Feray, Viscountess
Lezay-Marnezia, Baroness de Pierres, the Baroness
de Malaret, and the Marchioness de Las Marismas,
Ladies of the Palace ; Count Tascher de la Pagerie,
Senator, Grand Master ; Count Charles Tascher de,
la Pagerie, First Chamberlain ; Viscount Lezay-
Marnezia, Chamberlain, and the Baron de Pierres,
Equerry.
Yesterday the Countess Teba and her mother
went out—in plain language—shopping, and made
purchases at different houses. Having at length
been recognised, a crowd assembled, and by hearty
cheers gave their future Empress an earnest of
affectionate loyalty.
The Archbishop of Paris has been to the Elysee
t 9 pay a visit to the Countess de Montijo.
The lower part (wheels, axle-tree, pole, &c.) of
the state carriage which will be used for the mar-
riage of his Majesty is the same that was used for
the coronation of the Emperor Napoleon I.
A grand ball, it appears, had been given by
M. Fould, Minister of State. Amongst the company
were the Princess Mathilde, Prince Napoleon,
Princess Camerata, Prince Lucien Bonaparte, the
Marchioness Bertolini, the Presidents of the Senate,
Legislative Body, Council of State, several mem-
bers of the corps diplomatique, the Ministers, the
great officers of the Crown, and a number of nota-
bilities in the political, artistical, and scientific
world.
Some interest has been felt to know what atti-
tude the diplomatic corps would assume with re-
spect to the future Empress. It turns out that
they have followed precisely the same course as with
respect to the recognition of the Empire. Lord
Cowley, the British Ambassador ; the Marquis de
Valdegamas, the Spanish Minister ; the Marquis
de Antonini, the Neapolitan Minister ; the Cheva-
lier de Paiva, the Portuguese Minister ; the Count
de Villamarina, the Sardinian Minister ; M. Fir-
min Rogier, the Belgian Minister; and Baron Fagel,
the Dutch Minister—have all inscribed their names
at the Palace of the Elysee for the bride elect ;
while the representatives of Russia, Austria,
Prussia, and other German States, wait till Ma-
edmoiselle de Montijo shall have become Empress
before paying their respects.
The crown jewels have, it appears, been delivered
with the accustomed ceremony to the Minister of
State by the Minister of Finance. They had re-
mained in the Treasury since the night of the 24th
February, 1848, where they had been deposited by
some faithful servant of Louis Philippe. It is stated
that some, which were estimated at 150,000 f., dis-
appeared during the anarchy of the early part of
the !Revolution. It has been decided that the
Empress shall wear a diadem on her entrance to
the Cathedral, the civil marriage being considered
as raising her to that rank. M. Auber, lately ap-
pointed Director of the Imperial Chapel, will
superintend the music during the. ceremony. He
will have M. Adam under his orders. M. Halevy
will fill the place occupied by M. Paer under the
Monarchy.
It is said that the new Ministry which is to come
in as soon as the marriage shall be over, and in
which M. de Morny is to be the principal leader,
M. Magne will be Minister of the Finances, and
the Duke de Mouchy Minister of Public Works.
The Imperial Council of Public Instruction
had assembled under the presidency of the
Minister of Public Instruction. After examining
some routine business the council heard a verbal
report from M. Dutrey, inspector-general of
secondary instruction, on a proposed regulation
relative to the examinations of the lycees, and a
written report of M. Leferriere, relative to the
regulation of the classes of Roman law. The dis-
cussion on these subjects will take place at the next
sitting of the council.
We read iu the Moniteur Baron de Talley-
rand has had the honour of delivering to the Grand
Dukb of Saxe-Weimar the new letters accrediting
him to his Royal Highness in quality of Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the
Emperor of the French. The Grand Duke ex-
pressed to M. de Talleyrrnd the hope that Provi-
dence would continue to protect his Imperial
Majesty for the accomplishment of the great
work for which it has reserved him ; he con-
cluded the audience by renewing to M. de Talley-
rand the assurance that the Grand Ducal
Government would always show itself anxious
to cultivate the most friendly relations w ith that
of the Emperor. M. de Talleyrand afterwards had
the honour of dining with the Grand Duke, who
placed him near him. After having received the
congratulations of the great dignitaries of the
Court, who were present at dinner, M. de Talley-
rand was conveyed back to the French Embassy in
the carriage of the Grand Duke."
The Algiers journals publish the following letter
addressed by the Emperor to General Pelissier and
dated from the Tuileries, 13th ult

The letters from Madrid of the 20th are very
contradictory as to the cause of the great fall in
the funds that had taken place there. Some attri-
bute it to a combination of capitalists against the
Minister of Finance : others say that it arises from
fears of the consequences of the proceedings of the
Government against General Narvaez, which, it is
said, have produced a strong feeling of dissatisfac-
tion in the army.
The Queen of Spain has just conferred the cross
of Commander of the Order of Charles 111. on M.
Jules de Cambaceres, secretary-general of the Mi-
nistry of Police, for the services he rendered to her
Government as Prefect of the Basses Pyrenees in
1849, at the time of the invasion of the Spanish
frontier by the bands of Carlists and Progressistas.
A Madrid letter of the 21st says :—" The Mode-
rado Electoral Committee' in consequence of the
two late ministerial circulars, is on the eve of
dissolving itself voluntarily ; it will only reserve to
itself the power of bringing before the competent
authorities such agents of the Government as may
be guilty of excesses or violence at the approaching
elections. Before separating, the committee in-
tends, it is said, to publish and distribute to the
electors of Madrid and of the provinces a kind of
manifesto, in which it will formally make known
its intentions. The electors of the moderado party,
in the district of the Prado, have chosen the
Viscount de Almeria as their candidate. A grand
ball was given last evening by Count Esterhazy,
the Austrian Minister, at which the Duke de
Rianzeres and his two daughters, the ministers,
foreign corps diplomatique, and other high func-
tionaries were present. For the last two days the
public funds have undergone considerable fluctua-
tions ; the only cause, however, is said to be the
manoeuvres of speculators."
A telegraphic dispatch from Madrid, dated the
22d inst., says :—" For some days past a treaty
has been spoken of, which was under discussion,
between the Government and foreign capitalists,
to obtain advances on the national property. The
negotiation was concluded yesterday. The advance
amounts to 57 millions.

The official tables of the revenues of the German
Zollverein for the year 1851 have just appeared,
with a summary of the preceding years. The fol-
lowing are the comparative amounts of 1845
and 1851 :—lmports, 1845, 823,849,125 f. ; 1851,
670,667,775 f. Exports, 1845, 667,663,675 E; 1851,
636,645,025 f. Transit, 1845, 234,220,400 f. ; 1851,
294,409,250 f. If we compare the diminution in
the commercial transactions of the German Customs
Union, which has always maintained protection,
with the enormous augmentation of the Customs
revenue in England, where the liberty of exchanges
has made rapid progress during the last seven years,
we may judge of the two seven years. Austria on
her side, although still protectionist, has neverthe-
less, within the last year, introduced some reduc-
tions in her tariff of customs, and the result has
already been felt. The import duties rose last year
from 19,678,697 florins to 22,028,671 flarins, and
the transit and export duties gave an increase of
192,526 florins.
The Prussian Minister of Finance intends to re-
introduce his plans for taxing railways. The
amount is proposed to be levied on the net profits,
after deducting all expenses, interest, and contri-
bution to the reserved fund. Debentures are to be
looked on as a loan. On every 100 thalers clear
profit will be levied 22, up to 400 ; on this amount
122 ; on 500 thaiers, 15 ; on 600 thalers, 25 ; on
700 thalers, 45 ; on COO thalers, 75 : on 900
thalers, 105 ; on 1,000 thalers, 135 ; and for every
50 further, an additional 15 thalers. The law is
to come into force in 1854, and the tax to be levied
on the net profits of the proceeding year.
His Majesty the King of Prussia has been pleased
to confer the Order pour le merits for Arts and
Sciences on the Right Hon. Thomas Babington
Macaulay, of Londrn, and Colonel Rawlinson of
Bagdad.

BELGIUM.

The Belgian journals contain accounts of inunda-

tions in several parts of Belgium from the overflow-
ing of the rivers. At Hal and Vilvorde the streets
were inundated, and in many parts of the valley of
the Senne the water had arrived with such violence
that considerable property had been destroyed.
In some parts of the capital also the water had
entered the cellars to the depth of more than 12
inches. At the date of the last accounts, however,
the water appeared to be subsiding.
Some of the Belgian journals having given cur-
rency to an unfounded rumour that the Marchioness
de Larochejaquelein had expressed herself in very
severe terms against the Marquis, her son, for join-
ing the present Government in France and consent-
ing to become a senator, the Marchioness has ad-
dresssd the following letter, dated Orleans, the
22d, to the Independance ,of Brussels :
" The Belgian journals have attributed to me a
remark against my son, the Marquis de Larochejaque-
lein, to which I give the most positive contradiction.
If I might disapprove of his determination to take part
in the Government, notwithstanding the good intentions
which have no doubt inspired it, the indignation which
I have long felt against the system of calumny with
which he has long been assailed would prevent me from
blaming him." _ _ _

Thelnelependance of Brussels having, in a notice
of the success of the Bank of Exchange at Mar-
seilles, represented the editor of the Courrier de
Marseille to have said that it was of a nature to
bring the ideas of M. Proudhon on this subject
into favour, the Marseilles editor has written to
the Independance to declare that he did not make
such an observation. The Exchange Bank at
Marseilles, he says, has nothing of the character of
the institutions recommended by Proudhon. It is
founded on the influence of capital, whereas Proud-
hon proposes the annihilation of capital.
In the sitting of the Belgian Chamber of Repre-
sentatives, on Tuesday, the Minister of Finance
presented a bill for a credit of 4,800,000 f. for various
works upon the railroads of the State. The bill
was referred to a secret committee for examination.

"My dear General,—l have learned with pleasure
the beau fait d'armes which was executed under your
able direction at Laghouat, on the 4th inst. I did not
expect less from so good a general and so good an army,
but it is always a lively satisfaction for me to see our
soldiers maintain at the same height the glory of our
arms. Express to all those who distinguished them-
selves, and whose names I have read with interest, my
great satisfaction at their fine conduct, and believe in
my sentiments towards you. I pray God to have you
in his holy keeping. " NAPOLEON."

The chateau and estates of Cartreil, in Brittany,
which belonged to the Prince de Joinville, have
been sold by private contract to the Baroi-, de la
Motte.

The Journal de Coutances says :—" From the
unusually large quantity of granite lately conveyed
to Cherbourg, it would appear that extensive works
are about to go on there. There is, also, a report
that a large additional number of carpenters are
about to be engaged for naval constructions."
A letter from Lyons states that the weather with-
out being severe had become so much colder that
all fears of a too early vegetation had been removed.
The wind had come round to the northward, and a
frost
had begun. A similar account has been re-
ceived from Bordeaux.
