will confine ourselves to observe that no dispatch is to
be found among them between the dt;t:': of the 3d of
April and the 6th of November. It was precisely in
that interval that the German journals revealed, with so
singular a unanimity, the d&iberation of the Three
Powers in respect of the annexation of Cracow. This
complete absence of dispatches during the months of
July, August. September, and October, confirms us in
our opinion, that either M. Guizot connived at the mea-
sure, or that he was guilty of the strangest improvidence.
We will, moreover, ask, why the reply of Prince Met-
ternich to the protest of M. Guizot, which was commu-
nicated to the latter on Monday last, does not figure
among the documents?"

The schism between M. TITTERS and the BILLAULT
and DUFAURE section of the Opposition is now
avowed.

The Courrier Francais says—

" A numerous meoting of the Opposition Deputies
took place on Tuesday evening at the residence of M.
Billault; the schism which had been talked of so much
for some days previously was the subject of a long and
serious converation, and we may say that, from this
moment, it is a
_fait accompli. MM. Billault and Dufaure
laid before their colleagues all the points of their political
programme. All the questions, either of home or foreign
policy, have been clearly and explicitly treated on by the
two orators, and they have both manifested their formal
intention to have done with the petty Parliamentary
strategy, the war of inn igue in which the constitutional
Opposition has weakened itself, and lost its consequence
in the suite of M. Thiers. The explanations of MM.
Billault and Dufaure obtained the complete approval of
the meeting. The two Hon. Deputies had not to form
the conviction of the conscientious and sincere men be-
fore whom they expressed their intentions and their
principles ; that conviction had been long before ac-
quired, but they decided on manifesting it openly, and
it may now be said that the new Opposition, which has
nothing in commovvith M. Thiers, is fully constituted.
The meeting, whirl had its first sitting on Tuesday,
will henceforth regularly assemble at the residence of
M. Billault; the second conferenoe has been fixed to take
place immediately after the discussion on the Address
in the Chamber of Peers."

The Standing Committees of the Chamber met on
Thursday, to elect the Members to draw up an
address in answer to the KING'S Speech. Eight Com-
missioners had been chosen—viz., Messrs. d'llausson-
ville, Muret de Bord, de Bussieres, Sannac, de Came,
Vitet, Peyramont, and Desmousseaux de Givre—who
had all expressed their approbation of the conduct of
the Ministers in the affair of the Spanish marriage,
and also in respect to Cracow. The leaders of the
different political sections of the Chamber all took
part in the discussions, with the exception of M.
TUTERS and his friends. The Chamber of Peers has
appointed Count MoI.E as president and M. BARTHE
as reporter of the Commission of the Chamber of
Peers appointed to draw up the address in answer to
the speech.
" The new dispatch from Lord PALMERSTON," says
the Presse, which the Marquis of NOBMANBY read on
Tuesday to M. GUIZOT, is not more concise than his
two former dispatches of 22d September and 31st
October last, nor is it. more peremptory. It is said
to repeat the same arguments, the same facts, the
same complaints, under a different form. Faithful to
his system of publicity without restricti m, M. Guizoz
will assuredly distribute copies of this new document
to the members of the Chambers, with the answer of
Prince METTERNICH to the dispatch of De-
cember 3. This answer, while maintaining
the divergence of opinion existing between
the three Northern Courts and the Court of
France as to the interpretation of the treaties, so far
as they relate to the independence of Cracow, ex-
presses a hope that this difference in interpretation
will not cause any change in anterior relations. It
concludes with a protestation in favour of the respect
due to treaties."

The Commerce says " The'Council of the Bank
of France has determined on raising its rate of dis-
count to 5 per cent. Some members of the Court
consider that this me asure wculd not be sufficient to
bring back specie into the coffers of the Bank, and
proposed to limit the length of date of bills admissi-
ble for discount to sixty days ; this latter measure
has, however, been reserved for more difficult con-
junctures. Since the month of December the cash
in the Bank has still further decreased; it is now, it
is said, no more than fifty-seven millions."
The ex-President of the Republic of Bolivia,
General SANTA CRUZ, has arrived in Paris.
The price of corn still continues to rise through-
out France, and although the bread riots at Rennes
have been suppressed, yet it required the presence of
a large military force to re-establish tranquillity, and
the riot was not suppressed without bloodshed.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
THE DERBY.—Iu our Tattersall's report in yesterday's
paper, we alluded to a report, that Christopher was likely to

for the sum of 1,500 guineas, and that he will remain in Mr.
Scott's stable.

The stallion, Erymers, died at Moulton Paddocks, near

THE CONDE DE MONTEMOLIN.—The Conde de
Montemolin and suite visited, on Thursday, the library of
the British Museum, and felt so highly interested with the
different valuable ancient works put into his hands that he
spent the major part of the day there. One of the things
that struck the illustrious Prince most was the vast and pre-
cious collection of Spaaish manuscripts he saw, among which
was the original codicil to the will of Charles V., and often
expessed his astonishment how persons could be found ca-
pable of selling such national treasure.
TIIE CHAIRMANSHIP OP THE EASTERN COUNTIES
RAILWAY COMPANY.—There is no truth in the rumour which
has prevailed in the City during the last few days, to the
effect that Mr. Hudson, M.P. bad ceased to be the Chair-
man of the Eastern Counties -M.P.,
Company.
Last night, about seven o'clock, whilst Colonel
Sibthorp's carriage was standing at the door of Messrs. Lam-
bert and Rawlings, silversmiths, Coventry-street, waiting
for its gallant owner, some expert thief, seeing the coach-
man's back turned, took the opportunity of opening the
carriage- door, and stealing a great coat, a railway wrapper,
and a pacer parcel containing letters and documents of an
important nature.
