11URS DAY EVENING JANUAR 29, 1846

Government; but Ministers declared that they would
give no explanation, and NARVAEZ added that if any
manifestations should be made in the Cortes on the sub-
ject, they should be immediately dissolved. It appears
this had the desired effect; and all, except a very small
number, gave up the project. In the Deputies, on the
21st, Senor AGUAYO moved an amendment to the para-
graph in the Address relative to the new system of
taxation, condemning the financial plans of Senor Mein:
That Minister showed that his plan had been most suc-
cessful; that the income for the year 1845 amounted to
1,200,000,000 reals (12,000,0000, and covered the
Expenditure. The amendment was rejected by a majority
of 100 to 45.

The Funds had declined. On the 21st the Three per
Cents. closed at 32i7i, and the Fives at 231, both at
60 days.

The French Chamber of Deputies have been occupied
chiefly for two days in discussions on the abuses which
have taken place in the Government department of rail-
ways, but we find nothing in them that requires any re-
marks. M. BERRYER is expected to make a speech on

the Oregon question, or rather on the policy that France
ought to adopt in case of war between England and
America, and has given notice of an amendment on the
Address to the following effect :—" If peace should be

disturbed by the conflict of the pretensions of two great
nations, France reserves to herself the privilege of tak-
ing care that no attack be made on the principles of
public law, which protect on the seas the liberty and the

dignity of international relations." An interesting, and
probably violent, debate will be the consequence. Ac-
counts had been received from Algiers of the 20th. Ac-
cording to these the cavalry under General YUSUF
had been completely broken up from the fa-
tigues it had suffered in pursuing ...AI3D-EL KADER,
and the General had returned to Algiers. The Moni-

cow Algerien has an account of ►he disaster of ti e column

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER To THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales,
all to the trade. The market was quiet and abundantly
supplied. Shares were dull.
The more the proposition of Sir Robert Peel is con-
sidered by mercantile men the more is it applauded,
irrespective of the question of the corn• laws. At the
same time it is a matter of fact, that until the final
resolves of Parliament are known, there will not be any
general activity in trade: There is every desire on the part
of commercial men to enter into fresh and extensive
operations, and the monetary condition of the country is now
most satisfactory.
There will be no lack of support either from foreign
countries in the extension of free trade, for where Govern-
ments are tardy the people will be impetuous A few manu-
facturers abroad, any more than a few agriculturists here,
cannot oppose the voice of an united people. This is
well illustrated iu the following remarks relative to the Sub-
Treasury scheme. received by the last packet from New
York
" Our manufacturers appear to be very hostile to this
financial movement of the Government, and their opposition
is the result of the grossest misunderstanding of the whole
question. They advocate the tariff, because they imagine
that it protects their interests more than anything &se could,
and at the same time they favour every expansion of the
banks, to increase the business of the country, and create a
demand for their fabrics, and in this way neutralise each
other. A high tariff and a restricted currency would
almost amount to prohibition, but an expanded cur-
rency off-sets the effects of a restrictive tariff, and
importations from foreign countries are made freely
and profitably. The Sub-Treasury law would have such an
effect upon the movements of the banking institutions now in
existence, that the currency would remain at an uniform
value from year to year; it would protect every manufac-
turing interest more thoroughly and equally than they have
ever been protected before, and it would enable us to compete
more successfully with the manufacturers of Europe, in
the markets of the East and West Indies, and in South
America, by reducing the cost of manufacturing at home,
than we have ever yet been able to; therefore, the effect of
the Sub •Treasury law would be to open foreign markets to
our fabrics, which is more than the most sanguine friend of
the present tariff has ever claimed for it. Such being the
anticipated effect of that Act, all that we want of a tariff is
to provide revenue merely for the support of Government.
"The only way by which we can build up our manufac-
turing interests substantially and solidly, is to reduce the
volume and increase the value of our currency, and make it
more valuable than that of the nations we come into direct
competition with as manufacturers."
As to American competition, our manufacturers will be
quite prepared for that, when the British agriculturist runs
the same chances with them.
The English Funds have been much the same as yesterday.
They opened rather flatly, but have got up a little since.
Consols have been 94%, and are now 94% for present
transfer. For time the quotations are 943/ to 95. The pre-
mium on Exchequer-bills is again higher, having reached the
enhanced premium of 26 to 28. Bank Stock is worth 206.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 967/8
to 97%.
The Foreign Investments have been steady, with the
exception of Spani-h Bonds, which are on the decline, the
Five per Cents. having been done at 27% %, and the Three
per Cents. at 38. Brazil Bonds have been marked 81;
Buenos Ayres, 40%, and Mexican 80A. Dutch Four per
Cents. have been 9414 to 94%.
Shares have been firmer.

under General LEVASSECTR, but it is very meagre as
compared with that which has been already published.
According to this statement, the number of men who
died on the march was only one hundred and fifty.
The Moniteur publishes returns of the duties paid on
imports into France during the month of December,
1845, which, we trust, may not be without a good
effect. These returns show a considerable decrease
in the amount of duties collected. Thus, while the
customs in England are yearly increasing, those in
France, under the restrictive and prohibitive system,
are constantly diminishing. As compared with those
of 1844, there is a falling off of 1,264,608 f. The re-
ceipts of the entire year amounted to 151,795,160 f.;
they had been, in 1844, 152,114,261 f., and, in 1843,
143,776,723 f. The principal articles of import in 1845
were coffee, 257,135 metrical quintals ; corn,
1,929,317; cotton, 728,731; copper, 96,171; hempen
and flaxen yarn, 73,109; cast-iron, 561,153; linseed,
434,060; sesame, 8,174; coal, 21,325,691; olive oil,
300,666; indigo, 21,134; wool, 275,0191 nitrate of
potash, 10,028; nitrate of soda, 48,894; lead, 234,563;
colonial sugar, 1,023,910 ; foreign sugar, 195,913;
linens, 31,050; zinc, 137,524, &C,
The following article, comparing the constitutional
system in France with that of tngland, appyars in the
liVorn4, and attiply illustrates some remarks on the same
subject which appeared lately in The Sun
" Let us avert our eyes from the shameffil spectacle offered
during the last eight days by our Chambers, and look at that
which is passing on the other side of the Channel, There;
also, we behold two Chamberte a Ministry, and an Oppo4.
tion, contending not to corrupt and degrade the country
more and more, but to devise means of extricating it from the
difficulties into which its own constitution and external
events have embroiled it. Every time that the annual return
of the session leads es to compare our situation With that of
our neighbours, we Invariably snit <urseives how it happens
that tWo institutions, apparently cast in the same mould, pro-
duce results so widely different? The superficial observer too
lightly ascribes the contrast to a difference in the character
of the two nations. There is another cause. The English
people have themselves framed their institutions and mar-
vellously adapted them to their character. France received
hers ready made, prepared, and modified by royalty. We
have only the mask of the representative regime, the framers
of our institutions having carefully suppressed that which
constituted their soul and life. It is said, that in England
that regime is vivified by the power of public opinion. This
is true; but how comes it that that opinion, so efficient in
Great Britain, is unavailable in France? I; is because that
its liberty of action and expansion exists in the former. The
English have a right to associate—to meet on the public
square, or in a field when the town does not contain a space
sufficiently capacious to accommodate the meeti,g. In
France twenty persons assembling periodically in a saloon
are regarded as conspirators. Young men proceeding to the
house of 4 professor to compliment him are charged by
gendarmes as if they were rioters and revolters. Public
life is everywhere stifled. The engine for coining is the
only thing we have borrowed from the English insti-
tutions. Let us suppose for a moment that what has
lately occurred in England was tried in France, and
that, to effect the reform of a political or com-
mercial law, an extensive association was organised, hav-
ing its acknowledged chiefs, its orators, its treasurer, and
its budget. Let us suppose that the association had con-
voked, at Paris and in the provinces, in the great cen-
tres of population, monster meetings of 20,000 and 30,000
persons, and levied publicly on its adherents a contribution
of 7,000,000 f. or 8,000,000 f., with the avowed object of
creating agitation and procuring the repeal of the law, or
the overthrow of the Cabinet which supported it. Would
not, re ask, all the attorney-generals, the gendarmes, sol-
diers, and tribunes in the country be called out in such case
to prosecute, disperse, imprison, and condemn the debn-
quents ? The noise of the fusillade and the fracas of re-
quisitoriss would have drowned the voice of the popular
orators, and all the courts of justice in the empire, including
the Court of Peers, would hasten to save the State by con-
fiscating first the funds of the association, and afterwards
ending its chiefs, leaders, and adherents to rot in the dun-
geons of Mont St. Michel and Doullens. In England, the
Government sees in these demonstrations of public opinion
mere advertisements, of which it knows how to avail itself.
It resists as long as it can, but it yields when it considers re-
sistance likely to prove fatal to it. England thus reformed
the rotten boroughs, which France has inherited, and is now
preparing to modify the corn legislation."
We subjoin some miscellaneous extracts from the
papers :
The Journal de la Somme says :—" We are warranted in
stating that the Ministry has rejected the demand of Prince
Louis Napoleon fur permission to go to Florence to attend
the deathbed of his father, under a pledge that he would
return to prison at the first call. The Council conceived that
a compliance with the demand was only within the royal
prerogative of the King. It remains therefore for his Majesty
to decide " The foolish-young man, it is said, will not make
a direct request to his Majesty.
Ibrahim Pacha will leave Vernet-les-Bains on the 4th
of next month. He will remain at Perpignan till the Bth,
after which he will proceed to Paris by Toulouse, Bordeaux,
N sates, &c.
A letter from Berlin states that the differences of opinion
amongst the delegates of the Protestant churches, now as-
sembled, is great enough to prevent the deliberations from
having any result. Some of them are even on the point of
quitting /Serbs, and returning home before the termination
of the deliberations.
The Courtier Francais publishes the following intelli-
gence, without, however, vouching for its authenticity :
" It was reported to-day, in the diplomatic circles, that the
King of Prussia had been obliged by a popular movement to
quit Berlin and seek refuge at Potsdam. Nothing precise has
yet transpired on the subject, but such an event would not
be improbable in the present agitated state of the public
mind, roused to the highest pitch by the religions congrega-
tions now assembled in council at Berlin, and by the provincial
diets, which were displeased with the reply returned by the
King to their reelamations."
A letter from Lausanne of the 224 says:—" The state of
our unfortunate Canton de Vaud is getting worse every day.
The Conservative party in it is completely disorganised and
discouraged. When the last communal elections at Lausanne
took place, upwards of fifty electors were wanting, for all of
them had emigrated to foreign countries. The dismission
en masse of the majority of the clergy leaves several of the
parishes without public worship and religious education for
youth. At the Christmas festivals many of the churches
were without the celebration of the Last Supper. In some,
the_magisters of the villages were appointed by the authori-
ties to officiate instead of the dismissed priests. In different
places the religious services were disturbed by acts of pro
lanation, notwithstanding the presence, and, perhaps, in some
instances, encouraged by the presence of the gendarmerie."

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DA'.)
(Sittings in Banco at Westminster Hall.)
THE QUEEN V. CHAintAN AND SEYMOUR.
Mr. Justice PATTESON delivered the judgment of the Court
in this case. The Learned Judge, in addressing the traversers,
said they had both been indicted under the 49th Geo. 111.
for an offence against that Act of Parliament, and the indict-
ment contained 25 counts. The traverser Chapman had pleaded
guilty to the offence which that Act had made a misdemeanour,
namely, that it would be a misdemeanour for a person to be
in any way concerned in any negotiation or traffic of a situa-
tion for money. Though the indictment contained 25 counts,
yet the affidavit of the prosecutor alluded to only one transac-
tion,whichwas, that Chapman's brother had been tutor to the
suns of General Robinson, who was an East India Director,
andth at Chapman, the traverser, entered holy orders, and was
promised by the General a chaplaincy in India. Traverser
was acquainted wi'h a Dr. Kenny, another party charged, but
not then before th e Court , and whom, the traverser alleged, held
out hopes to him of an appointment in this country. It was
also alleged that the traverser, upon the strength of this
promise, had heal induced to raise money by bills for Dr.
Kenny's use, and was not aware of the consequences of his
doing so. It was further alleged that Dr. Kenny got the
money, but that when the bills became due traverser
had not the means to meet them, and they were dishonoured.
That other bills were then raised which he was equally
unable to meet; that by this means he had become entirely
ruined, and had taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act and
had got twelve mouths' imprisonment,by which he had lost his
health. Now it did not appear to this Court that such were
the facts; but it did appear to the Insolvent Court that he
had raised money on bills without any means to meet them,
and hence the sentence of that Court. Traverser further
alleged that he had promised to use his influence with General
Robinson to procure another party a situation, and that he
was not aware of the consequences of such an act. Now it
was presumed that no man was ignorant of the law of the
land, though he might not be aware of a particular
Act of Parliament. But, in the present case, the Court
was surprised to hear it alleged by the traverser that he did
not know that this was not an honest or honourable transac-
tion. independent of its being an infringement of an Act of
Parliament. Any man of right feeling should be aware that
it would not be honest or honourable to attempt to sell his
influence with another party who had the power of bestowing
a situation. In this case the traverser alleged
that he bad not held out any hope of a
successful result of the use of his influer.A
with General Robinson. That was a falsehood, because It

appeared by the traverser's own letters that he had had com-
munication with General Robinson upon the subject, who
told him that if he (the traverser) wished to ge
out, he would get the appointment ; but that
it was most improper to suggest to him the transfer of that
appointment to another, for a sum of money ; but even
after that communication, there were letters show-
ing that traverser still held out the offer,
and therefore he must have been aware of the
impropriety of the act. With regard to the other traverser,
Seymour, it was alleged that he had opened an office for the
sale of jewels, and had been lent 5001. for the purpose by a
Mr. Fisher, and that proposals had been made to him for the
loan of money, that in the present transaction half of a 5001.
note had been left with him, upon which he had advanced
about 600/., and had lost all. The Court could not
take that circumstance into consideration in award-
ing punishment. Seymour alleged that he did not
know this to be an illegal act ; but the Court was of opinion
that he must have been aware that this was not a proper
transaction, because when a person named Norton suggested
the probability of a discovery, the traverser said there was
no fear of that, and he was to have raised 100/. by way of
commission. Under all those circumstances, the Court felt
that this was a very serious offence, which it was determined
to visit with a very severe punishment, in the hope of
deterring others from doing anything of the kind, notwith-
standing what the traverser had suffered from loss of health.
The Court would not inflict a fine, as it appeared that
the traverser had no means, so that if a fine were im-
flicted it would only increase the period of imprisonment.
The sentence of the Court, therefore, was, that the two tra-
versers be each imprisoned in the Queen's Prison for the
period of one year.
They were then removed.
