geously undertaken in the name of freedom, compromised
by anarchy."
4th Paragraph—to be amended :
"We have prayed for and loyally aided, the pacification of
Spain. Interested in the streLgthening of the Constitutional
Government, we ought to persevere in all measures which may
preserve it from the return of civil war."

Original article respecting the Budget :
" We cball examine with rare the law of the Budget;
since it is when States are exposed to unexpected charges,
that a severe economy is always necessary."
Amended Article respecting the Budget :
"We shall examine with care the law of the budget. If
the measures which prudence ordained have destroyed the
balance in our finances, we will consider the means of re-esta-
blishing it ; and, better warned, that a great country ought to
be ready for great sacrifices, we shrill watch that everywhere
the soarces of taxation be wisely cared for."
The last paragraph is proposed to run as follows :
" Sire,—lnternal order maintained with energy, the laws
executed without weakness, the persevering action of a firm
and moderate administration, are indispensable guarantees of
force abroad. France wishes to be calm in order to be powerful.
In vain anarchic passions still nourish odious hopes. Provi-
dence is pleased to confound them in protecting the days of the
august chief of a national dynasty ; and the birth of a new
son, in adding to the happiness of your family, has brought
another pledge of our confidence in the future.

" Jlay the free and regular accord of all the powers of the
state show to the world what is the force of constitutional
monarchy. Factions are ignorant of this—Europe itself
forgets this. The Government should make it known,
and should make use of it with wife hardihood. Let Govern-
ment have a sage confidence in itself, nor be alarmed for the
grandeur of the destinies entrusted to it. Tho Chamber, Sire,
answers for France. The national will can never fail you,
Sire, in noble and just designs."

In the sitting of the Chamber to-day, while the
Chamber and all the galleries loudly applauded the
splendid discourse of M. Berryer, a Deputy of the
Centre, well known for his habits of interrupting, ex-
claimed—" What a plague is eloquence r —Siecle.
It is observed that ever since the commencement of
the debate on the Address, M. Martin (du Nord) has
not missed a single sitting. M. Martin comes in at
half-past one ; he takes his seat on the Ministerial
bench, and, as soon as the debate begins, he makes
copious notes. Every hour he leaves off, calls a
huissier, and delivers to him a message, with which he
immediately leaves the hall. M. Martin then returns
to his place, and resumes his work. It is believed
that the Keeper of the Seals has to give an account
to Louis Philippe of what is passing in the Chamber.—
Le Commerce.

We were among the first to blame the illegal and
premature promotion granted to the Princes of the
Royal Family ; among others we found it our duty to
protest against the neglect of all the rules of the service
in the successive promotions of the young Princes de
Joinville ; Mais,is an additional reason why we should do
justice to the perfect propriety and the natural spirit
which distinguish the report of the Commander of the
Belle Poule to the Minister of Marine, on his return from
his mission to the island of St. Helena.—Le Commerce.

THE NEW FRENCH LOAN.
(From the 2tlessager.)
A journal has taken upon itself to announce that the
Minister of Finance is on the point of presenting to the
Chamber a project of law for the loan of 600 millions of
francs, and other journals, v.ithout taking the trouble to
examine whether the situation of the country demands so
great a developement of extraordinary resources, admit
the fact as positive, and see in it a new text for decla-
mations against the Government. It is certain that
a loan of 600 millions would even be insufficient,
if it was necessary to admit, with the Commerce,
that the budget of 1842, which will shortly be pre-
sented to the Chamber, is to amount to not less than
1,890 millions of ordinary and extraordinary expenses,
Happily all these exaggerations will not succeed in
shaking the public credit which has been strengthened
by the confidence inspired by the policy of the present
Government. The armaments ordered by the late Mi-
nistry, and the pay of the army which the Government
and the Chambers intend to maintain, as long as the
complications of foreign politics continue, will necessi-
tate, no doubt, the employment of financial resources in
which the aid of public credit will he wanted. The
expenses required by the situation of affairs being such
as to absorb for a period more or less extended the funds
consecrated by the Chambers, in ordinary times, to
works of material amelioration, a loan will probably be
obliged to be resorted to in order to continue these
works. The Chambers will judge of the development
which it will be fit to give to these works this year, and
it is only when they shall have decided this first ques-
tion, that the amount of the loan will be able to be de-
termined.

ARRIVAL AT CHERBOURG.

The Belle Poulq frigate, commanded by the Prince
de Joirmille, and which has brought back to France the
remains of the Emperor Napoleon, came to anchor at
Cherbourg on the 30th ult., at five in the morning.
The following is the report of his Royal Highness to
the Minister of Marine :
" Monsieur le Ministre,—As I had the honour of
informing you, I quitted All Saints Bay on September
14th, running along the coast of Brazil, with the wind
at east, but which, having veered to the north and north-
east, enabled me q.:.ickly to get into the meridian of St.
Helena, without having to pass the 28th south parallel.
On entering this meridian I was delayed by calms and
light breezes. On October Bth I came to an anchor in
James Town Roads.
" The brig Oreste, detached by Vice-Admiral de
Macau to bring to the Belle Poule a pilot from the
Channel, had arrived the day before. As this ship
brought me no new instructions, I immediately occupied
myself in executing the orders I had originally received.
" My first care was to put M. de Chabot, the King's
Commissioner, in communication with General Middle.
more, Governor of the island. These gentlemen having
settled, according to their respective instructions, the
manner of proceeding to the exhumation of the remains
of the Emperor Napoleon and their translation on
board the Belle Poule, the 15th of October was fixed
for the execution of their plans.
" The Governor charged himself with the exhuma-
tion, and all that was to take place within the British
territory, I, by the order of October 13, a copy of
which I hereto annex, regulated the honours to be paid
on the 15th and 16th by the division under my com-
mand. The French merchant-ships, the Bonne Arnie,
Captain Gallet, and Indien, Captain Truquetil, eagerly
rendered their assisstance.
" At midnight, on the 15th, the operation com-
menced in the presence of the French and English
Commissioners, M. de Chabot and Captain Alexander,
of the Royal Engineers; the works were directed by
the latter. As M. de Chabot renders to the Govern-
ment a circumstantial account of the operations to
which he was a witness, I conceive that I am dispensed
from entering into the same details, and shall content
myself with saying that at ten in the morning the
coffin was found in the grave. After having raised it
intact, it was opened, and the body was found in an
unhoped for state of preservation. At this solemn mo-
ment, at the sight of the easily-recognised remains of
him who had done so much for the glory of France,
the emotion was deep and unanimous.
"At half-past three o'clock the guns of the fort an-
nounced to the ships and vessels in the roadstead that
the funeral procession had commenced its march towards
James Town. The militia and the troops of the garri-
son preceded the car, which was covered with a pall,
the corners being borne by Generals Bertrand and
Gourgaud, and Messrs. De Lascases and Marchand,
the authorities and a crowd of the inhabitants follow-
ing. The guns of the frigate having answered those
of the fort, she continued to fire minute-guns. From
the morning the yards were slung, and the flags hoisted
half-mast high, as signs of mourning, in which the fo-
reign ships and vessels joined. When the. procession
appeared on the quay, the English troops formed a
double line, through which the car passed slowly to the
shore.

" At the water's edge, where the English lines had
terminated, I had collected all the officers of the French
division, waiting, in deep mourning and heads unco-
vered, the approach of the coffin. When within twenty
paces of us it stopped,, and the Governor, advancing to
me, delivered up to me, in the name of his Government,
the remains of the Emperor Napoleon.
" As soon as the coffin was lowered into the boat of
the frigate prepared to receive it, the general emotion
was again renewed, the dying wish of the Emperor Na-
poleon began to be accomplished, his remains reposed
under the national flag.
" All sign of mourning was from that time abandoned ;
the same honours which the Emperor would have re-
ceived.had he been living were paid to his mortal re-
mains, and. it was amidst salutes from the ships, dressed
out in their colours and their yards manned, that the
cutter, escorted by the boats of all the ships, pursued its
way slowly towards the frigate.
"On arriving on board the coffin was received be-
tween two ranks of officers under arms, and carried on
to the quarter-deck, which had been arranged as a
Chapelle ardente. According as you had ordered me,
a guard of sixty men, commanded by the senior Lieute-
nant of the frigate, did the honours. Although it was
already late, the absolution was pronounced, and the
body remained thuskdeptwatch
exposedby it
as side
all night.. The almoner
and an offic
" On the 16th, at ten o'clock in the morning, all the
officers and crews of the French ships of war and mer-
chantmen ha‘,inc, hr.n nss.mlbled on board the frigate,
soienan funeral service was celebrated ; the body was
then lowered between decks, where a Chapelle ardentchad
been prepared to receive it.
" At noon all was terminated, and the frigate was
ready to sail, but the drawing up of the process-vet bun(
required two days, and it was only on the morning of
the 18th that the Belle Poule and Favourite were able
to get under weigh. The Oreste, which left at the same ,
time, sailed for its destination.

" After a prosperous and easy passage, I have just
anchored in the roads of Cherbourg, at five i❑ the
morning.

" Receive, Admiral, the assurance of my respect,
" F. D'ORL E ANS, the Captain of the Belle Poule.
" Roads of Cherbourg, Nov. 80."
The .31oniteur Parisien says that the funeral cere-
mony is fixed for the 10th inst., Thursday week, and
that orders have been given to hasten as much as pos-
sible the preparations at the Invalides, and along the
line which the cortege will follow.
The Courtier Francais throws out an idea concern-
ing the monumental honours to be rendered to Napo-
leon after the interment of his remains in the Invalides.
The dome of that magnificent edifice being of the style
of the time of Louis XIV., and one of the best speci-
mens of it, cannot accord with any monument not of
the same style, whether of a previous or posterior epoch.
Either, therefore, the monument would have to be made
of the same style as the building, which the sculptors ob-
ject to, or else the whole internal decoration of the dome
must be altered to make it harmonize with the mono.
ment, a measure to which all architects and admirers of
national edifices would be opposed. On the other hand,
though the Chamber of Deputies refused to make a
grant fur raising an equestrian statue to the Emperor,
it is impossible that the capital shauld long re-
main without such a tribute to his memory. The idea
of the author of the leuilleton is therefore this :—That
in the centre of the pavement of the dome of the In-
valides there should be placed simply an immense
marble slab, with nothing eke engraved on it than the
word' Napoleon,' or lei reposur
i Napoleon,' all epitphs
and inscriptions being worse than superfluous ina the
case of such a man. Under the archway of the tri-
umphal arch at the Barriere de rEtoile, there should be
erected a colossal bronze equestrian 13tatue of the Em-
peror, which would be most appropriately placed amidst
the sculptured records of his victories ; and on the sum-
'nit of the arch at the top of the attic there should be
placed a colossal bronze eagle with outspread wings
""ering as it were over the Emperor beneath, and
ready to take its flight across the world!

BANKRUPTCY OF SPARKE'S

AND COMPANY.

IN THE MATTER OF ANTHONY LFE.
Yesterday being the day fixed for the choice of assig-
nees in the matter of this bankrupt, who was the only
sun wing partner of the late William Sparkes, banker,
of Guildford, who was found drowned in the river Mole,
in the month of October last, the Court of Bankruptcy
was crowded to excess. The debts and liabilities, ac-
cording to the best estimate which could be made from
an inspection of the books by the official assignee,
amount to the sum of 200,0001., and the assets to
about 70,0001., including the balance of a sum of money,
&c., left with Messrs. Masterrnans, of 48,0001., only
a few days before the death of Mr. Sparkee,
deducting therefrom their overdrawn account for
16,0001., and excluding the value of a large freehold
property, which is at present the subject of a suit in
Chancery, but which it is fully expected will be rea-
lized for the benefit of the bankrupt's creditors. Seve-
ral meetings had been held at Guildford by the credi-
tors since the issue of the fiat, and they bad agreed to
the appointment of three of the most influential of their
body to become assignees, subject, of course, to the ap-
probaion and sanction of this Court.

- Mr. Bacon, who attended as Counsel for the gene-
ral creditors, stated that the accounts under this fiat
would be found extremely complicated, and it was taken
out against the only surviving partner of Richard
Sparkes, who died in the year 1888, and of William
Sparkes, his nephew, who died in the month of October
of this year. In order to save time and great inconve-
nience to many creditors, their affidavits of debt had
been prepared at Guildford.

Mr.
Bac.:on submitted that the annexation of a " me-
morandum" to that effect would be unnecessary, and a
conversation ensued upon the point, the Learned Com-
missioner directing it to be attached to each proof, with
a view to save expense, and prevent embarrassment in
their future proceedings.
The Learned Commissioner asked if any cred;•tors
from a distance, who sought to prove, were now in
Court, as he would proceed directly to take their
" proofs ?"

Several creditors availed themselves of the invitation,
and their claims were admitted to the amount of 1,915/.
No less than eighty claims were also admitted upon affi-
davit, which amounted to the sum of 40,071/., making
the total proofs this day 41,986/.
Thomas Williams, ironmonger, of Guildford ; Richard
Flathery, builders Cuildford ; and Erasmus Gvlbart
Livesay, gentlemaik Guildford, were appointed assignees.
A conversation now ensued as to what amount of al-
lowance should be made to Mr. Lee, the bankrupt.
The assignees suggesting 8/. a week, the official assignee
10/., as the services of Mr. Lee were of the utmost im-
portance to the benefit of the creditors.

The Learned Commissioner allowed the largest sum

A CCIDEN T ON THE EASTERN
COUNTIES RAILWAY.

On Tuesday, the Ist inst., an accident, which might
have been attended with serious results, occurred on the
Eastern Counties lhailway• The train left Brentwood
at 8 o'clock p.m., and proceeded to within a mile and a
half of the Stratford station, when the attention of the
passengers was called to an uneasy jumping motion of
the carriages ; repeated concussions were heard, and at
length it was ascertained that the 'tender and a second-
class carriage next to the tender were both off the line.
The engine•drivcr must certainly have used great cau-
tion and skill in gradually stopping the train, otherwise
the whole of the carriages must have been overturned.
The guard, who was upon the roof of the carriage, was
in a very perilous situation, and was compelled to hold
on with all his strength.

Ou inspecting the line afterwards it appeared that
the tender must have travelled off the line at least half
a mile, and no less than 60 or 70 of the iron chairs
which support the rails had been broken, so that one
line would be rendered useless for a short time.

The above account is given by a Times Corresponden.
who charges that Company with negligence.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE BIR
MINGHAAI AND DERBY RAILWAY.

BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY EVENING.—A serious
accident occurred on the Birmingham and Derby Rail.
way last night. According to the best accredited reports,
the trains which left this town at 5 p.m., on its arrival
at Whitacre-heath, near Coleshill, name is contact
with a truck on the line, the consequence of which was
that:the engine was thrown off the rails. The first class
carriages then broke away from the tender and ran on
without the engine, but one or more of the third class
carriages in the rear were thrown over, and one unfor-
tunate passenger killed upon the spot. The stoker was
likewise pitched from the tender, and died this morning.
Many of the passengers received severe bruises and con-
tusions, but, with the exception of the parties already
named, few of them experienced injuries of much con-
sequence.
It is stated that the truck which caused the unfor-
tunate collision was in the care of two labourers on the
line. During the day they had been at work at Kings-
bury, and at the time the accident occurred were on
their return towards Coleshill. They propelled the
truck by means of sticks, and on seeing the train ap-
proach attempted to remove the truck off the trams ;
but before they could accomplish their intention the
engine (the night being dark) ran in upon them and
caused the fatal catrastrophe already described. For-
tuwately the two labourers saved themselves by a pre-
cipitate retreat off the line, and were in no way injured.
The man killed was in humble life, formerly a horse-
keeper in Birmingham, and, from all I hear, I am in-
clined to believe, although riding in one of the car-
riages at the time of his death, a servant in the employ
of the Derby Railway Company.
The most extravagant reports as to the extent of the
accident were in circulation in Birmingham.

We regret to learn that D. G. Forbes Esq., of
Culloden, died at Forres on Saturday morning last. 11r.
Forbes was the great grandson of the celebrated Duncan
Forbes, Lord President of the Court of Session, at the
stormy period of 1745, when he rendered such distinguished
services to his country. The estates of Culloden, worth
about 6.0001 per annum, descend to the eldest son of the
late Mr. Forbes, now twenty-two yeras of age.—lnverness
Courier.
LONDON AND GREENWICH ItAILWAY.-We
learn with much satisfaction that the first contract for the
widening of the London and Greenwich Railway is a most
satisfactory one, and that ground will be broken in the
course of a few days. The tenders for the second con-
tract will, we understand, be opened on Tuesday week.
The new shares, it will be seen by our list, are meeting
ready purchasers at a premium. The pmtponcment of the
opening of the upper portion of the Brighton Railway will
of course delay the anticipated benefit to the Greenwich
Company from this source, but it will be only for a very
short period.—Railway Timss.

The Official Assignee said that so inaccurately were
the books kept, that he found a party who sought to
claim 2,0001. was, in point of fact, a debtor for no less
a sum than 3,0001. As to Mr. Lee, he was nothing
more than a" stipendiary" partuer,who was paid a salary
of 4001. a year for his services, while in the lifetime of
Richard Sparkes he had only 150/.
Mr. Bacon begged to add, that although Mr. Lee
was here liable for the whole of the debts of the bank,
he never had any further beneficial interest in it than
what resulted from his salary of 400/. a year.
The Learned Commissioner said be would admit
the proots upon affidavit, subject to future inquiry,
and so as not to prejudice any claim made either to-
day, or to be hereafter made.
