THE KING'S SPEECH.

The following is a translation of the speech of
the King of the French, on the opening of the
Chambers yesterday :
" Gentlemen, Peers, and Deputies,—l am happy
on finding myself again among you not to have any
more to deplore the calamities which the high price
of provisions has inflicted on our country. France
has endured them with a courage that I could not
behold without deep emotion. Never in such circum-
stances have public order and the freedom of trans-
actions been so generally maintained. The inex-
haustible zeal of private charity has seconded our
common efforts. Our commerce, thanks to its pru-
dent activity, has been but feebly affected by the
crisis that has been experienced in other states. 'We
are reaching the conclusion of those trials. Heaven
has blessed the labours of the people, and abundant
crops are reviving everywhere comfort and security.
I congratulate myself on it with you.
" I reckon on your co. operation in order to bring
to a conclusion the great public works which, by ex-
tending to the entire kingdom facility and regularity
of communication, must open fresh sources of pros-
perity. At the same time that sufficient resources
shall continue to be applied to that fruitful enterprise,
we will all watch with scrupulous economy over the
judicious employment of the public revenue, and I
am confident that the receipts will cover the expenses
in the ordinary budget of the State, which shall be
shortly presented to you.
• " A special Bill will be proposed to you for re-
ducing the price of salt, and diminishing the postage
on letters to a degree compatible with the good state
of our finances.
" Bills on public instruction, prison discipline, and
our customs tariffs are already submitted to your
deliberations. Other Bills shall be presented to you
on various important subjects, particularly on com-
mercial property, mortgages, the Mont de Pieti, and
the application of savings-banks to fresh improve-
ments in the condition of the working classes. It
is my constant wish that my Government should
labour, with your co-operation, in developing at
the same time the morality and the welfare of the
people.
" My relations with all the foreign Powers give
me the confidence that the peace of the world is se-
cured. I hope that the progress of general civilisa-
tion will be everywhere accomplished by a good
understanding between Governments and people,
without impairing internal order and the good re-
lations between states.

" Civil war bas disturbed the happiness of Switzer-
land. My Government had come to an understanding
with the Governments of England, Austria, Prussia,
and Russia, in order to offer that neighbouring and
friendly:people an amicable mediation. Switzerland
will, I hope, acknowledge that respect for the rights
of all, and the maintenance of the basis of the Hel-
vetic Confederation, can alone insure to her those
enduring conditions of happiness and security that
Europe wished to gurantee to her by treaties.
" My Government, in accordance with that of the
Queen of Great Britain, has just adopted measures
which must at length succeed in restoring our com-
mercial relations on the banks of La Plata.
" The illustrious chief who has long and gloriously
commanded in Algeria has desired to rest from his
labours. I have intrusted to my beloved son the
Duke d'Aumale the great and arduous task of go-
verning that French land. I flatter myself that,
under the direction of my Government, and thanks
to the laborious courage of the generous army that
surrounds him, his vigilance and devotedness will
secure the tranquillity, the good administration, and
prosperity of our establishment.
" Gentlemen, the more I advance in life, the
more I dedicate with devotedness to the ser-
vice of France, to the care of her inter-
ests, dignity, and happiness, all the activity
and strength which God has given, and still
vouchsafes me. Amidst the agitation that hostile
and blind passions foment, a conviction animates and
supports me, which is that we possess in the consti.
tutionsl monarehy-..in the union of the great powers

of the State, sure means of overcoming alt those ob-
stacles, and of satisfying all interests, moral and ma-
terial. Let us firmly maintain, according to
the charter, social order and all its con-
ditions. Let us guarantee according to the
charter the public liberties, and all their develop-
ments. We shall transmit unimpaired to the
generations that may come after us the trust confided
to us, and they will bless us for having founded and
defended the edifice under shelter of which they will
live happy and free."

MONEY and COMMEitCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather
brisk. Sales, 4,006 bales, of which 3,700 were American,
at 4id. to 6d. per lb. In railway shares there was but
little doing, but the market was firm.
The accounts from the United States, per Britannia
steamer, are expected to-morrow, and the Message of
the President will reach by that opportunity.
From Rio de Janeiro there are advises} of November
14. The markets were dull fur British manufactures,
and had not been improved by the tenor of the accounts
taken out from England by the Fury. The exchange
had been" as high as 28d., but was last quoted at 27d.
The Six per Cent. Stock appears to have been iu decided
favour, and had advanced 2 to 3 per cent.
The accounts from the Continent represent that trade
was dull, and that the weather had become so severe as
in most instances to close the navigation.
The speech of the King of the French has not excited
particular remark in the City, except so far as relates
to the notice of the Reform banquets. The progress of
these political reunions is viewed here with considerable ,
interest and curiosity, not likely to be diminished either
by any attempt to suppress them. The allusions to
foreign affairs are of that indefinite character which
excites no particular feeling, either favourable or
ad verse.
The public securities have been very quiet to day,
and have maintained their value. Out of doors money
is easy, and the discount houses are allowing but four
per cent. on " call." The failure of Messrs. Deaves',
brothers, of Cork, and Messrs. Job, Wright, and Co., of
London. both in the Russia trade, has excited a little
uneasiness in the circle which it affects, but causes no
general apprehension. There are parties who
still anticipate considerable pressure in the
American Money Market, and calculate upon its
reaching here. Consols fur Account have been 854 to
85k; the New Three-and-a• Quarter per Cents. 864 to i;
and the Three per Cents. 851. to Bank Stock is 186}
to 188. Exchequer-bills have realised Bs. to 12s. prem.
The Foreign Bonds are very dull again, but Spanish
have improved a little. The Three per Cents. are 306
and the Five per Cents. 186 to Brazilian Small
Stock is at 81. Belgian Four•and-a-Half per Cents,
have been 68, and the Two-ar.d-a Half per Cents. 56.
Railway Shares have been steady, with a moderate
business doing.

of the loss of life on the northern coast during the last
month, the total number being 36—namely, in the
county of Caithness, 14 ; in Orkney, 14 ; and in Zet-

MYSTERIOUS DEATlL—Yesterday Mr. William
Payne, the City Coroner, resumed, at the Bricklayers'
Arms, Earl street, Blaekfriars, the adjourned inquiry
respecting the death of Airs. Eupheme Scott, aged 72.
Elizabeth Scott said that the deceased was her mother.
She lived pith her son, who kept the above house. 0:1
Christmas-eve the house was closed at twelve o'clock,
and about two o'clock the deceased left for the purpose
of [going up stairs to bed. Witness noticed her until
she got upon the first landing. Shortly after that time
witness went to bed, and she neither heard or saw
anything of the deeeased from that period until eight
o'clock on Christmas morning, when she found her
lying on her right side in the prssage at the foot of the
stairs. She was dressed, and appeared to be in a fit.
Witness tried to bring her round by sprinkling water
upon her face, but she was unable. Informed her brother,
who was in bed asleep, of the state her mother was in.
He got up and sent for a surgeon. Robert Scott corro-
borated the above evidence. Mr. Hutchinson, surgeon,
said that he Was called in to see the deceased on Christ-
mas-day. The cause of death was concussion of the
brain, which must have been caused by some external
violence, inflicted with a flat surface. The Coroner,
having summed up, the jury, after consulting, returned
a verdict, "That the deceased died from concussion of
the brain, caused by a blow on the right temple, but
how occasioned there was not sufficient evidence to
prove."
A CHRISTMAS BARGAIN.—Last week a labourer,
after his hard week's toil, entered a hostelry at Wood-
ham Mortimer, and, warmed by a pint of XX, began in
the pride of his heart to exhibit his wealth, which con-
sisted of two half-sovereigns, snugly secured in a tobacco-
box. The host, and a brother boniface who was there
quaffing a neighbourly glass, eyed the treasure, snd
having caught the complaint of joking—an epidemic
that commits sad ravages about Christmas—bid him a
sovereign for the lot, calculating upon the bird's-eye and
box as their legal profit. The bid was at first refused,
but pressed again later in the evening. The bargain
was struck, the money paid, and the box handed over ;
but lo! in the interval the gold had been transmuted into
silver. John, with an adroitness for which his cus-
tomers gave him not credit, had substituted a shilling
and a sixpence; and it is needless to say he enjoys the
joke amazingly—for if there were returns in the box
there were none in the bargain—while the merry laugh
that goes round the vale is worth all the money in these
dull times.—Essex Herald.
A STRANGE Ftsn.—A fine specimen of the three-
bearded rookling (mostello vulgaris, Cuv.), a scarce and
pretty-looking fish, was taken on our coast, near Cadur-
nock, on Tuesday last.—Carlisle Patriot.

HOW TO BECOME A JUDGE OF PICTURES.--N Sposin'
its pictures that's on the carpet, wait till you hear the
name of the painter. If its Rubens, or any o' them old
boys, praise. for its agin the law to doubt them; but if
its a new man, and the company ain't most especial
judges, criticise. A leetle out o' keeping, says you, be
don't use his grays enough nor glaze down well; that
shudder wants depth; general effect is good, though
parts ain't; those eyebrows are heavy enough for stucco,
says you, and other unmeaning terms like those. It
will pass, I tell you, your opinion will be thought great.
Them that judged the cartoons !at Westminster Ball
knew plagay little more nor that. But if this is a por-
trait of the lady of the house hangin' up, or its at all like
enough to make it out, stop—gaze on it—walk back—
close your fingers like a spy glass, and look through
'em amazed like—enchanted—chained to the spot. Then
utter, unconscious like, That's a most beautiful pictur,
by heavens! that's a speakin' portrait. It's well painted
too; but whoever the artist is he is an unprincipled man.'
Good gracious!' she'll say, how so?' Cause, madam,
he has not done you justice.' "—Sam Slick.

FESTIVITIES AT WOBURN ABBEY. —The gaieties
of the festive season have been kept up in the " good
old English style" by the Duke and Duchess of Bed-
ford. His Serene Highness Prince Lowenstein, Via—
count and Viscountess Palmerston, Lord and Lady
Beauvale, the Marchioness of Clanricarde and Lady
Emily de Burgh, and the Earl and Countess Granville
closed their visit on Monday, and departed for town.
. Lord Forester and Lord Edward Howard left on Satur-
day, the former for Leicestershire, and Lord Edward for
Arundel Castle. Baroness de Clifford and the Hon.
Miss Russell went on Monday to the family seat in Lei-
cestershire. Viscount and Viscountess Jocelyn, on
Monday, left for East Lodge, Brighton. His Excellency
the Prussian Minister and Madame Bunsen arrived from
town on Monday; and a large party assembled there
this week. Lord and Lady John Russell intend to pro-
long their visit at the Abbey about ten days longer.
Lord Glenelg and the other members of the family are
remaining until the close of the week.
The Right Hon. the Speaker of the House of
Commons has appointed the [lon. George Waldegrave,
youngest son of Earl W aldegrave, assistant librarian of
the House of Commons, in the room of Mr. T. Erskine
May, who has accepted the office of- taxing master of
private

SUGAR.—The arrivals of colonial this year have been
34,000, and of Foreign 29,000 tons mere than in the
previous one; of the former the stock is 23,700, and of
the latter 6,500 greater. Of all kinds the quantity
taken for home consumption exceeds that of 1846
up to this time by 11,700, whilst there is an excess
in the export deliveries of 14,200 tons. Prices
exhibit the following decline:—West India 9s to 10s,
Bengal and Madras 108 to 12s, Mauritius 9s to
1 ls, Foreign East India 3s to Bs, and Foreign 5s
to 8s per cwt., whilst the losses that merchants are yet
sustaining upon the importation are heavy. On Wed-
nesday and Thursday last a good demand was experi-
enced for West India, stiffer rates were paid fur the 950
hhds and tierces that found buyers; brown realised 33s
to 34s 6d, yellow 35s to 455. and grey 343 to 39s per
cwt. The market has been closed since Thursday, and
will remain so until Tuesday next.
REFINED.—The town and country demand has been
active for all descriptions of Refined goods since we last
wrote, and quotations may be considered fully equal to
those previously current, and in some eases above. For
Wet Lumps there is an extensive demand, prices
are firm at 51s to 51s 6d for low and middling, and
at 52s to 63s per cwt for good and fine quality.
There is a difference of not more than 19s per cwt
between the value of standard lumps and fair working
sugars. Pieces have been much inquired after--r Ls,
ui
mon at 35s to 375, middling 38s to 40s, good 41s11 to
and fine at 44s to 475. There is, however, "Liu but

first and 29s 6d tor secz so. t, wl..cn terms
several contracts were likewise concluded for forward
delivery. Purchases to a fair extent were made in Wet
Lumps at 28s to 295, and the stcck is yet small. In
Dutch Crushed Sugar several sales have been made, but
at moderate rates. Belgian has been in demand to a fair
extent from 25, 6d to 29s for common to fine quality.
The demand for loaves made here under bond has been
good for exportation, acd prices tend upwards, the suppiits
being small, whilbt there are several orders unexecuted.

MTAIIRITIIIS.—There is firmness on thePaiTotholders,
and they have refrained from submitting any to public
competition. On the part of grocers and refiners more
disposition has been shown to do business, and they have
taken several parcels by private treaty. Prices com-
pared with those of this day week show a small advance.
There are, however, further arriva!s of the new crop,
and the stock is much larger than it was at this time in
1846; prices are. however, considerably under those of
that period for every kind.
. .

ESL INDIA.—The low rates that prevail for Penang
Sugar cause buyers to be more inclined to make pur-
chases, and on the part of holders less desire is shown to
sell, whereas none has been submitted to public com-
petition. Privately the parcels sold were at prices rather
above those previouslyeurrent, brown selling at 25s to 30s,
and yellow 30s to 38s. In Bengal the operations are
upon a more extended scale, whilst the supply is less
plentiful; prices are on the advance. For Madras the
demand is more active, holders are less inclined to sell
and offered none at public sale; privately several parcels,
however, have been disposed of.
FOREIGN. —There is no inclination on the part of
holders of Foreign Sugar to submit to any further de-
cline in the Value, and they have refraii ovi from submitting
any to public sale, whilst there is only a moderate quan-
tity on offer in the private market. The export orders
concluded are, however, trifling, and the demand has
been limited from our refiners working under bond.
The sales worth notv'ing are only 3,000 chests of Bahia
at 15s 6,1 to 17s for low and m1(111:ng brown, and at 19s
for common white. The market is, however, not ex-
pected to continue long in i;s present quiet state.
COFFEE.—The home trade are little inclined to operate
in any kind of West India by private treat.), although
holders are willing to accept lower rates. None has
been offered at auction. Prices tire lover than by 3s to
9s for inferior, and lOs to 20s for the better sorts.
Although the quantity of East India on sifts- is small,
y. t a tall took place in the value of both home trade
and shipping kinds, a further diminution having occurred
in the demand for :all purposes. Native Ceylon is little
required, and prices are further depressed. None has
been brought to public sale. The sales made in Planta-
tion are trifling, notwithstanding the low rates which
holders are willing to take for all kinds, Mocha
is little required, anti can be obtained upon
lower terms. Buyers of East India kinds have
been induced to operate rather more freely
in consequence of holders submitting to easier rates
privately. At auction 110 bags Singapore for cash on
the 29th instant at 25s to 25s 6d for sound. Of Foreign
Coffee none has been submitted to public sale, and pri-
vately the dealings have been of a limited nature, al-
though sellers are willing to make a slight concession in
the value.

TEL—Holders of Black and Green sorts manifest
more firmness, and offer a less quantity for sale. In.
Black the purchases made have been upon a more ex-
tended scale, and the rates obtained are rather above
those previously quoted. Green is not risen in value;
there is, however, a more active demand, and the
quantity passing for sale is not so large as of late,
whereas merchants are less inclined to realise. In
Scented Teas the operations are upon a more ex-
tended scale; prices cannot be quoted higher, and
there is yet a plentiful supply. Orange Pekoe of
low and middling buality is only worth 7d to
Is, good to fine scented is 2d to Is 6d, black
leaf 9d to is Bd, and flowery is to 3s 6d per lb.
There has been no arrival since this day week, whereas
duty was paid on 510,9601bs at this port durii.g the past
week. None has been submitted to public competition.
SPlCES.—Prices have suffered no further depression
for Pimento ; and privately the sales made have been to
a small extent only. Although holders of Nutmegs are
willing to accept previous reduced rates, yet the
sales which have been concluded by private treaty
have been of a limited nature by exporters and the
home trade ; the finest brown cannot be quoted
above 3s 10d, limed ditto 3s. Macesells slowly upon
previous reduced terms. On the part of holders of Black
Pepper there ,is firmness, and they supply the market
sparingly; all descriptions have been sought after by
shippers, and the home trade, whilst previous rates are
obtained for the parcels sold by private treaty. At auc-
tion 1,146 bags of Sumatra were sold, good clean black
20 to 21d, grey 24d to ; white is wanted, supply small
and the parcels sold were at 4d to 40 for low and mid,
and at 5d to lid for grod and fine quality. Pod is
little required, and 170 bags of fine at auction were taken
in at 51 per cwt for fine bright. In Ginger the sales
made are small by exporters as well as home consumers.
Cassia Lignea is not much wanted, and the supply is
small, still former rates are nut to be obtained.

SPIRITS.— Jamaica Rum is offered rather under pre-
vious rates, still the purchases made have been limited in
all kinds by exporters and the home trade; there is a
plentiful supply. Leeward Island is little wanted;
holders are willing seders, and accept is bid to is 7d
for proof strength, whilst there is a fair quan-
tity on offer. Calcutta sells slowly at is 6d to
Is 6id; Mauritius Is 5d to Is 6FI, and Penang Is 6d
proof strength. Demerara suet with little attention.
Rum is much cheaper than last year, although the de-
liveries continue to be satisfactory, but the stock is
heavier. Previous improved rates are well supported
for Brandy, the deliveries are exceeding the arrivals.
Holders evince firmness, and a good business has been
concluded in all sorts.

INDIGO.—For ell descripticns of East India the home and
export demand has been good, whilst further purchases
have been made by speculators, and ate rates paid ex-
hibit an advance on those of the last quarterly sale of
2d to 4d per lb, and the market is but scantily supplied.
That the upward tendency will continue appears to be
the general impression.

OILS. —The arrivals of Fish Oils have been to a small
extent only since this day week, whereas the deliveries
are satisfactory, and are likely to continue so, as prices
rule moderate. In Cod a good business
has been conducted at 251 to 251 10s per tun,
at which hoiders are firm. Of Seal many
parcels lave been disposed of at enhanced prices.
For Southern the tendency of prices is upwards, the
supply being small and demand active for all kinds.
The market is in a tranquil state for Sperm, and there
are willing sellers. For Linseed Oil reduced rates
having been taken, occasioned the home trade to pur-
chase largely, and caused the export demand to be good.
For forward delivery several purchases have been made at
23s 6d. to 24s ; the consumption is on the increase, and
the supply is less plentiful. In Rapeseed Oil the deli-
veries are upon a more extended scale, and in
consequence of the limited supply buyers are com-
pelled to pay stiffer rates. On the part of holders
of Olive there is a desire shown to sell, although
the consumption is better than of late, whereas
there is not a large stock, and the arrivals that are
expected for some weeks are of little moment.
The market is in a quiet state for Palm; there is a
desire on the part of the holders to sell, as the stock is
on the increase, end 27s to 29s per cwt is the value of
fine quality. Cocoa Nut is little required, and although
the stock is small, yet holders are willing sellers.
TALLOW.—The demand has increased for Russian on
the spot, and reduced rates have been accepted. Soap
makers and chandlers operated with reluctance, and 46s
to 465 6d are the prices taken for fine P. Y. Candle, and
at which holders are desirous to sell, as arrivals are on
a more extended scale. For delivery in spring months
the operations are to a small extent only. Home made
met with a slow sale.

FOUR CHILDREN BURNT TO DEATH.--Last even-
ing, Mr. W. Payne held four inquests, in St. Bartho-
lomew's Hospital, on the bodies of four children whose
deaths were caused under the following circumstances :
—The first was respecting the death of Louisa Ann
Hughes, aged eight years, whose parents reside at
No. 1, Thomas-street, Shoreditch. The deceased, on
Christmas-eve, was engaged lighting a fire, when, in
lifting something from the mantel-piece, her clothes
became ignited and she was speedily enveloped in
flames. The fire was extinguished as quickly as pos-
sible, and the deceased was removed to the above hos-
pital, where she expired on Saturday last.—The second
inquest was concerning the death of Timothy Bowen,
aged five years. On Monday afternoon the deceased fell
off the tender into the fire, which set his clothes in a
blame. In this state he ran out into the street, with the
flames mounting over his head. The fire having been
extinguished, the deceased was removed to the above
hospital, where he shortly afterwards died.—The third
inquiry was touching the death of Emma Groves, aged
ten years. Ellen Jones said, that the deceased on Sun-
day week was on a visit at a friend's house, at No. 2,
South-street, when, in reaching some sugar from the
mantel-piece, her clothing took fire, and she was dread-
fully burnt over the whole of her body. She was taken
to the hospital, where she expired on Saturday. The
father of the child said, that the deceased had told hint
since she had been in the hospital, that a girl, named
Kitty Mitten, had placed a lighted squib' under ber
clothing and thereby caused the accident, This was
stoutly denied by the girl in question, and also by the
other inmates of the house.—The fourth case was re-
specting the death of Georgiana Poole, aged five years.
The deceased, during the temporary absence of her
parents, by some means set her clothes on fire, on Mon-
day last. She was taken to the above institution, where
she expired almost immediately after her admission.—
_
Verdict in each case—Accidental Death.

TnE CREAM OF THE Joss.—On Sunday evening
last a can of milk was stolen from the shop of. a milk,
egg, and butter dealer in St. Leonard's-street. The
booty was subsequently placed in pawn for 3d. The
theft, we may mention, was quickly detected; as also
the circumstance of the milk being placed in pawn. The
broker, on being questioned on the subject, stated that
the woman who deposited the milk in pawn intimated
that, being in want of .3d., she would leave the milk is
pledge till the cream rose upon it. This is surely as
curious a case of theft and pawning as has ever come
under our notice.—Edinburgh News.
SUDDEN DEATH.—Yesterday afternoon, while one
of Mr. Evke's carmen was ascending a van in-Milton-
street, Cripplegate, he lost his balance and fell, striking
his head on the pavement. He was immediately con-
IT) ed into the house of Mr. Chalmers, surgeon, who was
prompt in applying restoratives, &c., but all wcis of no
avail, as death appeared to be instantaneous.
