LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 13, 1846.

Literary and scientific institutions for the encourage-
ment and reward of important discoveries in any branch
of human investigation, have been common in most
civilised States, and have, more than victories and con-
quests, spread their fame throughout the world. The
celebrated societies which sprung up in the Italian re-
publics were long remembered and admired, when the
war 3 which they waged against each other were entirely
forgotten. The ie,me h9n9cir rem4iiis with the Ervach

Institute ; and all the vulgar renown and praise acquired
by BONAPARTE in his great battles, even in the present
day, sink into the shade when compared with the illus-
trious labours of LEGENDRE, LAPLACE, andICIJVIER.
NEWTON, " the greatest and the rarest genius that ever
rose for the ornament and instruction of the species,"
elevated the Royal Society of London to a degree of
honour and consequence surpassing all similar institu-
tions of the Italian and French schools ; and this pre-
eminence, to a certain extent, it has now enjoyed for a
century and a half. Any event, any misconduct on the
part of the Council or the Fellows, that can impair
this high character, and degrade the first institu-
tion of the kind in Great Britain, must excite deep
regret in the minds of Englishmen, and call for condign
puishment on those who from sinister motives, or jea-
lousy at superior merits, can descend to the most despi-
cable tricks for the purpose of furthering their own
grovelling and vulgar schemes. Such schemes we have
every reason to believe have been for some years in
operation in this august body, and what renders the evil
the more intolerable, the Council declare that they have
no power to correct the mischief already inflicted. In
another part of The Sun will be found explanatory ex-
tracts from the Lancet, that has devoted several interest-
ing articles to the subject. The question will be fully
discussed at a meeting of the Royal Society to be held
on the 23d inst., and in the meantime we give a brief out-
line of the case. Some years since Dr. ROBERT LEE
made an important anatomical discovery, the paper de-
scribing which was presented to the Royal Society,
and referred by the Council to a commit-
tee of medical Fellows, among whom was Mr.
LAWRENCE, one of the first anatomists of the day.
They reported most favourably, affirming that Dr. LEE
had made good his claims by the most unquestionable
proofs. The paper was approved, ordered to be pub-
lished in the " Philosophical Transactions," and it ap-
peared in due course, accompanied by beautiful plates
illustrating the discovery. These facts made a great
noise in every medical school in Europe, and raised the
name of Dr. LEE to much celebrity abroad as well as
at home. But, like the authors of other important dis-
coveries, he had his detractors. The same class that
wished to deprive HARVEY and JENNER, of their high
honours, so justly merited, formed a plan for robbing
Dr. LEE of his discovery ; a surgeon was appo;nted by
them to make a dissection of the part, and as far as is
known by report (for the paper has not been published),
he declared that no such nerves as those described
by Dr. LEE existed. For this paper, which
had not been read to the Society, which had not even
been seen by any one connected with the Society,
excepting the secretary and the two referees, and which,
contrary to the regulations of the society, had not been
printed in the Transactions, the royal medal was
awarded. In every respect the award was in direct op-
position to the acknowledged laws of this learned budy,
and the committee that made the award was illegally
constituted. Mr. LAWRENCE, who knew the merits of
Dr. Lee's discovery, was first of all got rid off by being
told that there was no further business for the physiolo-
gical committee, and as soon as he had left a new com-
mittee was formed, at which a recommendation was
passed to award a medal for a paper that had not been
read, and the medal was afterwards voted by the same
parties in viola'ion of a regulation approved by her
Majesty, that "the royal medals be given for such papers
only as have been presented to the Royal Society, and
inserted in their Transactions." No attempt even at
defence has been made by the secretary or any member
of this committee. The affair altogether is most dis-
graceful, and unless the guilty parties be exposed and
the honour and character of the society vindicated by au
open disavowal of such clandestine and illegal practices,
as well as the infliction of a stigma upon the offenders,
the public will make their award, and reckon the Royal
Society among those defunct bodies which have perished
by their own acts.

One of the French journalists, in a very fair article on
the late victories in India, concludes with these worth :
" If the rights of nations and equity have often to com-
plain of the means employed by England to obtain her
übject, it is only just to admit that no nation more ex-
tensively fulfils its providential mission. In one and the
same year she opens to herself China, establishes herself
in Borneo, and crosses the Polar Sea. The conquest of
the globe, commenced in the 16th century by Spain and
Portugal, is completed in the nineteenth by England
Is it not time for France to have her turn?" The

writer cannot be serious in putting the question. France
has had her turn ten times, and in every instance abused
it. Few nations have had such opportunities of benefit-
ing the human race, and if we except, perhaps, the effete
Spaniards, the dominion of no people has ever been so
galling or insupportable, or attended by such fatal con-
sequences to the conquering power. At one time,
not more than a hundred years ago, she had
the finest opening ever possessed by any country
of creating a new empire in India, and anticipating Eng-
land in her gigantic acquisitions in that vast continent.
But she could not make use of her advantages ; she
built forts, landed armies, drilled soldiers, and displayed,
in her usual way, all the insolence of military govern-
ment ; she failed to cultivate the affection of the natives ;
she did nothing to improve their condition by protecting
them against the tyranny and extortion of their Nabobs,
and by encouraging trade and commerce with their new
associates ; she would rule over them solely by force, and
thus, like all the conquests of France, her valuable set-
tlements in the East slipped from her on the first dange-
rous crisis. This brief outline of her policy will apply
to nearly all the attempts made to establish colonies. If
we come to times of more modern date, the same causes
will be found at work in obstructing every beneficial pur-
pose, and in undermining a power that seemed impreg-
nable. What European ever had such means of doing
good, or abused them with such wanton recklessness,
as BoNAPARTE ? During the Empire he was
master of the entire Continent. He had conquered
Austria and Prussia, he had forced Russia into his
alliance—all the other minor states he could dispose of
at his will—he ruled from Lisbon to Constantinople,
and from Sicily to the Gulf of Finland ; but it was a
military, despotic rule—he never acquired or attempted
to acquire the affections of the people—he invariably
hurt the feelings of nationality of Germans, and Spa-
niards, and Russians—he was detested alike by all, and
when the crisis came they rose like one man against
hint ; the very Poles disdaining to aid him in the
depth of his distress, and his army of 800,000 men, in
the short space of three years, was reduced to 120,000.
What glorious opportunities he lost during his brief
reign ! He might, and had he been possessed of a
particle of patriotism, he would have formed his native
land, Italy, into a separate, united, and homogeneous
kingdom : he might have regenerated Spain, he might
have improved the condition of the German
people, by destroying the league of the Great
Powers, formed only for their subjection. He
could with one word of his mouth, or one of those la-
conic sentences by which he delighted in signalising his
despotic power, have established Poland as an indepen-
dent state, and bound every nation to him by the
strongest ties—those of interest and gratitude ; but he
had not the magnanimity nor the grasp of mind—he was
cursed with the spirit which unfortunately chiefly ani-
mates French generals and governors—he delighted
more in the display of power than in using it for
any
useful purpose. In the language of one of his country-
men," NAPOLEON did not fail through the Governments
opposed to him, but through the people ; he had
strangely abused his dictatorial power over Europe ; he
crushed down nations by his treaties, and gave up the
populations to kings of his own creation. In Germany,
above all, his policy appears most tyrannical ; he takes
away a province from one monarchy and gives it to
another ; he plays with the masses as if they were chess-
men. His is an unparalleled despotism, without reasou or
excuse. Add to this the French spirit, the French cha-
racter, which, in his pride of a founder of a great empire,
he wished to force upon all Europe." This was the
mine which at last exploded and dashed him to pieces,
and to this very cause is to be attributed the utter failure
of the French to establish colonies. They must change
their nature, if that is possible, at all events their policy,
before the " time comes for France to have her turn."
It is needless to comment upon the government of Al-
giers, and the causes of its utter failure. The same
baneful spirit there prevails. No means are adopted for
conciliating the natives. The people are more cruelly
used than their rulers and the soldiers ; plunder, and
razzias, and murder by suffocation in caverns, or in any
possible way, are the measures adopted by the French
to reconcile the people to their dominion. Success un-
der such circumstances would be a miracle, yet even the
noble and effective policy of England, by which she has
made herself mistress of India, and is looked up to for
protection by 100 millions of inhabitants, never teems to
enter into the conception of these military rulers. why is it
" that no nation more extensively fulfils its providential
mission?" Because she protects the weak against the
strong, makes war against plundering Ameers, and
tyrannical Sirdars, and treats the people as her own
countrymen; encourages trade and commerce, gives
security to property, raises moderate taxes, respects
native prejudices, and never by any incident makes war
upon the innocent and helpless population. Hence it is
that Sir CHARLES NAP= is regarded in Siude to a

At a most opportune pause in the Parliamentary ses-
sion, which is destined to render itself illustrious,
inasmuch as from it the freedom of commerce will be
dated, a Member of the Upper House comes forward
with a spontaneous recantation of his former opinions
upon agriculture, and confesses himself to be an
earnest and conscientious disciple of the free-
trade doctrines. We believe him to be conscientious,
for reasons too numerous to individualise in detail ;
and the farmers, who listened to this startling announce-
ment of the Earl of ESSEX, the nobleman in question,
showed by their courteous and almost enthusiastic be-
haviour towards him personally, that they also attri-
buted his conversion to the views advocated by the
League to a sense of honourable conviction alone, not-
withstanding many of them took occasion immediately
after the Noble Earl had resumed his seat to express their
entire dissent from his opinions. These circumstances
transpired at a meeting of the Watford Farmers' Club,
on Tuesday, where the Earl of ESSEX presided as chair-
man. Now, let it be especially remembered that his
Lordship is president of this society, and that very re-
cently, at a similar assembly at St. Albans, he had
spoken in the most emphatic and decisive manner in
favour of what is commonly, and ridiculously, called pro-
tection to agriculture. A transformation of ideas so sudden
and so diametrically opposite may under a first casual con-
sideration bear a very questionable and suspicious ap-
pearance. That is but natural. Let us, however, analyse
the wherefores of the case, and we shall speedily arrive
at a conclusion somewhat different. As an unexpected
and really antithetical declaration, it must undoubtedly
have been rather embarrassing to the nerves of the
Right Honourable Peer, addressing himself, as he
was through the medium of the press, to a party
furious from the very hopelessness of their
partizanship, and ready to place any construction
upon fresh seceders from their political faith. The
Noble Earl, indeed, acknowledged that he spoke " with
a feeling somewhat akin to shame ;" but—mark the co •
rollary !—it was not shame for his present conduct, for
that originated in the chambers of his reason, in his
sense of duty and justice, in the vitality of his conscience
and of his honour; no, it was not a shame arising from the
nature of his present sentiments, or of the course which
he now purposed to adopt—it was a feeling of shame
for having taken upon himself formerly to eulogise a
system, and to maintain it in operation, without having
in any manner considered its advisability, or without
having reflected upon the consequences it might have
upon the community at large. It was no mauvaise honte,
no paltry trepidation as to the constructions
which possibly might be put upon his beha-
viour, which agitated the thoughts of his
Lordship. It was a feeling of compunction
at a failing of omission rather than commission, a feeling
most creditable to his character, and one which exone-
rates him from every motive not strictly in accordance
with honesty of purpose. The Earl of ESSEX then con-
fesses that his previous enthusiasm for the so-called
protective system was nothing but an unreflective
adhesion to those principles with which he found
himself associated by the accidents of birth and
inheritance. He acted as an upholder of the country
party merely as a matter of course ; his ancestors had
proceeded upon the same undeviating system ; he took
the excellence of its effects upon himself and everybody
else for granted ; and thus, with a kind of luxurious
indifference, or from a generous wish to co-operate with
his compeers, the Noble Earl had united his ♦oice with
theirs in the laudation ofprotectien and the depreciation of
the schemes for the abolition of all restraints on commerce.
" With that facility," says the Earl of ESSEX, " with
which most people are too apt to show in adopting opi-
nions that apparently favour their own interests, I fell
in with the views of those with whom I was classed,
and I take shame to myself that I did so without duly
inquiring into and fairly considering the subject." When,
however, it became evident that the matter would very
speedily be produced before the Upper House of Parlia-
ment, and when, moreover, he observed that he would
quickly be expected to vote upon a measure involving
the ruin or prosperity of millions, the Noble Lord began
for the first time in his life to take the matter into his se-
rious consideration ; and "then," says he, "I found after due
reflection and strict inquiry, that those opinions (which I
had hitherto professed) were erroneous." He drew his
inferences with the most elaborate caution, bearing ever
in his mind that, "as an honest man, it was his duty to
give an unbiassed vote ;" and those inferences were eon•
elusive enough. In them he perceived that all his pre-
vious fears as to the consequences likely to result from
the proposed commercial changes were altogether
visionary; but especially he felt convinced that, with our
wonderful increase of population, " a population increas-
ing at the rate of a thousand a day," home farming must
prove utterly inadequate to satisfy the wants of the coun-
try. For some novel and striking calculations as to the
good which must flow from the abolition of what he de-
signates " the broken-reed, protection," we would
direct particular attention to the address delivered
by Lord ESSEX, fully reported in another column.
And no single shadow of doubt can he hence-
forth entertained as to the opinions of the
Noble Earl upon the question of unrestricted com-
merce after he has so emphatically remarked that
under the auspices of that system " agriculturists will
arrive, I think, at a pitch of prosperity hitherto un-
known." It is not, however, so much to congratulate
ourselves upon the alteration of the views of the Earl of
ESSEX - sincerely as we do so that we have
uttered these comments upon. the Watford meet-
ing. Our object was principally to demonstrate
a great fact by a great instance; to show that among the
most conspicuous champions of the Anti-Free-Trade
party there are men acting from no appreciation what-
ever of the justice of their cause, but simply as a thing
rather fashionable upon their patrimonial estates.
They inherit—that is the precise word—they inherit
their attachment to protection, just as they inherit a
title, or a town-house, or a seat in Dorsetshire. They
have become imperceptibly habituated to the idea, as they
became imperceptibly habituated to the saddle and the
stirrup. It fell easily and naturally upon them, like a
favourite robe de chambre, or a comfortable pair of slip-
pers ; reflection is irksome to them, an indolent acqui-
escence in the petty fribbles of their leaders is the most
pleasant and unfatiguing course they can follow. such
are the bulk of the supporters of the protectionists !
The Earl of ESSEX has shown them a courageous
example ; let them follow it if they are men of sense and
probity !

The advices from Alexandria are to the 29th ult. On
the 22d the first wife of the Viceroy, MEHEMET ALI,
had died at Cairo, after a short illness. His Highness
was deeply affected at the loss. The funeral, which was
attended by the Viceroy himself, took place on the 23d.
The transit of the desert (except the stations from
Cairo to Suez) has now completely changed hands. All
the employes of the old " Egyptian Company's Transit''
are retained by the new " Transit Administration," ex-
cept the directors. The following has been fixed as the
passenger's tariff :

First Class, from Alexandria to Suez, (and X. s. d.
vice versd) ... 12 10 0
Second Class 9 0 0
First Class, Suez to Cairo ... ... 210 0
„ Cairo to Alexandria ... ... 910 0
Second Class, (and vice versa) 610 0

The tariff regulating the conveyance of merchandise
and luggage will shortly be published.
On the 28th, at 45 minutes after 5 P.M., two violent
shocks of an earthquake, lasting upwards of half a
minute, had been felt at Alexandria. There had like-
wise been the shock of an earthquake at Malta.

By the Levant mail, in addition to the news from
Constantinople, which will be found elsewhere, Malta
papers to the 3d instant, and Athenian journals, to the
30th ult., have arrived. It would appear that the Greek
Minister COLETTI was approaching to his fall. The
Exchequer was in a state of bankruptcy, none of the
employes of the',Government having received any salary
since January. The Budget has not yet been pre-
sented, and having been beaten in the Chamber on the
question of the election of Questor, and out of the
Chamber in the election of Mayor of Athens, he dared
not ask for a provisional vote of credit, for fear of a
refusal.

The following letter, from the correspondent of the
Malta Gazette, exposes the present state of affairs in
Greece :

" The Ministry, strong in the protection of the Court
and the French and Austrian Ambassadors, still main-
tains itself in power, notwithstanding the Ministerial

" The peasants still continue to pillage. They are
mostly commanded by disbanded soldiers. In the circle
of Tarnow, Izela, and not Sala, commands 12,000 pea-
sants well armed. Ile is persuaded that he is chosen
by Providence to be the executor of the Imperial will.
Ile has carried his audacity so far as to send a deputation
to wait on the Emperor at Vienna. In the circle of
Bothnia a peasant named Khrygo commands the insur-
gents, another named Janocha in Sandecz, and in
Przemyse and Sambo a man named Boschola. The Em-
peror's letter, thanking the peasants, was received with
contempt by the armed hordes. When one of the Im-
perial Commissioners represented to the peasants, who
now consider themselves to be the owners of the property
of the late nobility, to consider that there exist widows
and orphans to whom the property belongs,' they replied,
We have flayed the great dogs, and we shall soon get
rid of the little.' Each of the Imperial Commissioners
is accompanied by six soldiers, notwithstanding which
protection two of them have been already murdered by
the peasants. In the circle of Tarnow, one of the most
populous districts in Gallicia, there remain but nineteen
of all the proprietors and their families."
The following resolutions, adopted by the representa-
tives of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, assembled at
Berlin, on the subject of the republic of Cracow, appear
in the Cologne Gazette :
-

"1. The✓ republic of Cracow will continue to be a free
state.

"2. This state, however, shall not possess the privi-
lege of reorganising her militia, or of maintaining troops.
"3. The three protecting Powers shall alternatively
keep a garrison in the city of Cracow.
"4. The ancient royal castle shall be transformed into
a citadel, to be defended by a park of artillery."
By order of the President of the province of Silesia,
all Poles coming from France or Belgium, Switzerland
or Italy, who have not their passports vised by the
Prussian Minister, and proceeding to Breslau, are to be
sent back to the place where their passport was last
vise'd, and under no pretext be allowed to continue their
journey.

Letters from Vienna announce the intention of the
Austrian Government to establish works for the manu-
facture of salt from sea-water at Venice. It is stated
that the Austrian Minister of Finance will be able to
provide for the exigencies of the state from the ordinary
revenue, and that there will therefore be no loan, as had
been anticipated.

It appears that attempts hays been made to excite
disturbances in Brussels. We extract the following
from the Brussels Herald of Saturday :
" In the course of Friday afternoon numerous copies
of an inflammatory circular were distributed in this city,
chiefly amongst the working classes, and in the streets
where they reside. The plan adopted was as follows:—
At various points of Brussels two or three individuals
dressed in blouses, under which they concealed large
packets of the obnoxious circular, awaited for convenient
opportunities to glide some copies into the hands of the
passers-by, whilst other emissaries were on the look-out,
to give warning whenever any of the police authorities
appeared. Copies were also dropped in the public
thoroughfares, thrown into shops, or thrust under doors.
Notwithstanding all the precautions which had been
taken to conceal the authors of the seditious circular,
the police soon got on their scent, and succeeded in dis-
covering and arresting the printer. This first step led
to further arrests, and we have grounds for stating that
the authors of the circular are either already in custody
or that they are well known."
The criminal tendency of this violent circular will be
seen by the following extracts:—
"The future inspires cruel alarm. You rich people of
the land, you aristocrats, are much to be pitied, notwith-
standing your pleasures and the material treasures which
you possess. Your hard-heartedness, your selfishness,
your rapacity, your inhuman conduct, will lead to rob-
bery, incendiarism, and assassination !
" That terrible prophecy will be realised, if a speedy
and efficacious remedy be not adopted for the distress of
those who are not beggars by profession, but of those
who know too well their dignity and their strength to
degrade themselves to such an extremity ; fur the pro-
verb says, Hungry belly has no ears.'
" Military brothers ! your relatives, your brothers,
your friends are about to expose their state of distress
to the Government. We do not wish to war against you;
all we ask for is to have work and bread, in order that
we may not all perish by hunger. Do not be against us,
for you, soldiers, are also children of the people, and if,
by order of pitiless or ignorant chiefs, you fire on the
people your balls and bullets will strike your own
fathers and mothers, your own brothers and friends. Do
not fire on the people, but say to yourselves, We
soldiers are also of the people ; we will not be our own
executioners.'
" In other parts of the circular it is stated that the
only way to prove to these who have sworn to attend
to the interests of the Belgian people that it is high
time to listen to the latter, is for all true Belgians to
proceed en masse, next Tuesday, the 14th instant, to
the King and the representatives of the nation, in order
that they
to lay before them an account of the prevailing misery.

All true Belgians' are consequently invited to assemble
on next Monday morning in the great market-place of
Ghent, whence they are to proceed to Brussels, in order

On Saturday evening six prisoners implicated in the
above attempt were conveyed by special train from Brus-
sels to Ghent.

_
Madrid journals of the sth instant have arrived. The
Gaceta contains the royal decrees accepting the resigna-
tions of NARVAEZ, ORLANDO, and BURGOS, and ap-
pointing ISTURITZ as President of the Council, and
AR7tIERO as Minister of Marine, charged provisionally
with the War Department. The decree accepting the
resignations is countersigned by EGANA, who retains
his office as Minister of Justice; that making the ap-
pointments is countersigned by the now President of the
Council, ISTURITZ. The Under-Secretary of State for
the Finances is charged provisionally with the adminis-
tration of that department. It appears that Colonel
ORTEGA made an unsuccessful attempt, during
the night of the 4th, to get up a pro-
nunciamento in favour of NARVAEZ. ORTEGA,
MAZZERADO LOIGORRI, the Under Secretary-at-Wart
and several other partizans of NARVAEZ have been dis-
missed. and General PEZUELA. has been appointed Cap-

ment of NARVAEZ is real on the present occasion, that
there exista.an irreconcileablo difference between him and

On this subject the Presse, which is looked upon as
the organ of CHRISTINA, has the following :
"M. Isturitz, it is said, has declared that he will not
committ the fault which produced the downfal of
Miraflores. This fault was to have adopted only half
measures, to have deeply discontented the friends of
General Narvaez, and the Absolutists of M. de Viluma,
without completely satisfying the great constitutional
and sincerely liberal fraction of the Conservative
party. M. Isturitz has not confined himself to these
generalities. At a meeting, which took place in his
house, he declared that the only means of protect-
ing the public liberties and the Constitution from
the coup de-main of General Narvaez, and from the in-
trigues of the Absolutists, who flatter him for the pur-
pose of making use of him, was to change the Captains.
General of Catalonia, Andalusia, Aragon, and New
Castile, to renew in great part the posts about the poli-
tical chiefs ; and, lastly, to compose a Ministry with men
whose principles offer equal guarantees to the partisans
of the revolution and the friends of order and Conserva-
tive ideas."

Lord and Lady PALMERSTON, who are in Paris, dined
with Marshal SEBASTIANI on Monday. They were to
dine at the Tuileries on Sunday, and had .likewise ac-
cepted invitations from M. GulzoT, the Princess
LIEVEN, and Baron ROTHSCHILD.

The Courier Francais of Friday says—
" It is confidently stated that Governor Bruat has ad-
dressed to the Minister of Marine a letter, in the form
of a secret report, in which he imputes to the English the
gravest acts. He declares that it is impossible to do
anything at Otaheite as long as the Protestant mis-
sionaries inhabit the country. He has not the means of
thwarting intrigues, which assume every kind of shape and
re-appear at every turn 1 Queen Pomare has taken up her
abode in one of the windward island, and holds there
a sort of Court. Two missionaries, Mr. John Knatch,
and Mr. Adam Rowe, and a native chief, entirely de-
voted to the English, form her Privy Council. A print-
ing-office is established in a cottage neighbouring to her
residence, and there are fabricated without ceasing pro-
clamatious destined to stir up (the populations against
France. All these acts are so flagrant that M. Bruat
declares that he cannot remain with honour at his post
if measures be not taken to put down so great a scandal.
It is even said that the brave governor, now too w ell edi-
fied relative to the energy and patriotism of M. Guizot,
solicits his conga and permission to return to France."
The same journal, of Saturday, mentions as a rumour
that Don ENRIQUE had written from Bayonne to the
Prince de JOINVILLE, asking permission to serve on
board his ship as a volunteer.
- -

It was reported in Paris on Saturday that a telegraphic
dispatch had been received from Bayonne, announcing
the arrival of General NARVAEZ in that city.
Algiers journals to the sth had been received in Pais.
They contain no news of importance in addition to the
last accounts.:Ann• EL-KADER is represented as a fugitive
abandoned by his former supporters, who are hastening,
say these journals, to make their submission.
The Prince DE JOINVILLE has left Paris for Toulon,
where he will probably meet the Duke CoNSTANTINE. The
Russian fleet, under the order of the young Admiral, is
composed of five ships—The Ingermanland, of 74 guns,
on board which the Archduke has hoisted his flag; two
corvettes, of 37 and 24 guns; and two steam frigates.
The Courrier de Marseille, of Wednesday, says:—
" The news which we gave a few days ago from Naples,
is confirmed. The Grand Duke Constantine will be
here in a few days. The Government has given orders
to the Admiralty for his being received with all the
honours due to his rank. He will proceed from Toulon
to Brest, and visit successively the principal maritime
towns of France."

The Moniteur publishes the law allocating an extra-

All the French papers have long articles on the sub-
ject of the debats in the House of Commons on the Irish
Coercion Bill.

The doctrines of free trade seem to be exciting con-
siderable attention in France. The Courier Francais
and the Constitutionnel have each long articles on the
subject. The Courier Francais advocates the principles
of free trade, while the Constitutionnel, without abso-
lutely taking the other side of the question, seeks to dis.
courage those who entertain enlarged and liberal views
on the subject.
The two companies formed under the auspices of
Baron de ROTHSCHILD and M. CHARLES LAFITTE to
bid for the Western Railroad bad withdrawn the pro-
posals which they had deposited in the hands of the
Minister of Public Works.

The Journal des Chemins de Fer mentions that the
Amiens and Boulogne Railroad Company had signed a
contract with Messrs. MACKENZIE and BEASSEY for the
construction of the line, and that the works would
commence forthwith, and be carried on with the utmost
activity.

rosity, has given 501. to the testimonial, raising for the widow
and family of the late respected superintendent Pearce, of the
Metropolitan Police, whose exertions in saving the Crown
ewels at the fire at the Tower of London deserved the
highest commendations, as also his efforts in the
Chartists of Bethnal-green. Notwithstandihg 15 year ser-
vice, there is no pension for the widow of persons in his

HEAVY FAILURE.—The extensive house of Messrs.
Came and Telo was announced on Wednesday as having
stopped payment, with liabilities exceeding 100,0001. in
amount : some statements reach a much higher sum. The
Borough Bank, it is said, is a very large creditor on this, as
on other recently unfortunate concerns; a circumstance that
has reduced the value of shares in that establishment from
a handsome premium to a positive discount.—Liverpool

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
6,000 bales, half of which were on speculation, and half
for exportation. Shares were steady generally.
The communication received from the office of Com-
mittee of Privy Council for Trade, by the Secretary or
Registrar of Joint Stock Company's Registry Office,
stating rather precisely the intentions of Government
relative to abortive, or ill-conducted new railway pro-
jects, has been the subject of almost general conversa-
tion in the City, among moneyed and commercial men.
This important document will be found in ano-
ther column of The Sun, and it is worth the most
attractive perusal. There may be many useful improve-
ments made in the Bill to be brought in by Government
in the course of its progress through Parliament. A
proposal, urged in some quarter is, that scripholders
should be considered entitled to vote for the dissolution
of any project to which they have been allotters of
shares, from the day Sir Robert Peel gave the outline of
the intentions of the Ministry, meets very general: sup-
port, as it is already known that many parties, who have
paid their money, or are under a responsibility to do
so, have been induced to sell their interest at a greatly
reduced value, the buyer of course in such instances
coming in for all the profit that may arise from the ope-
ration. Very many other points, well worth a remark
or two on another occasion, to make the Bill as perfect
and stringent as possible, have been communicated. The
great point to be gained is, that the intentions of Govern-
ment should not be defeated by any underhand work on the
part of solicitors, of scheming managers or committee-
men, who of course, if they can relieve themselves from
responsibility, will drain the funds in hand, or calculated
upon, to the uttermost, before they consent to the aban-
donment of projects, the continuation of which so well
filled their pockets. It has been suggested that a public
meeting should be convened, at which delegates from all
scripholders or allottees might attend, to take
means of compelling the winding up of doubtful,
bad, or other schemes, the parties connected with which
a e anxious to have such affairs brought to a speedy
termination. Many difficulties, now in the way of the
b eneficial working of the Bill to be introduced by Go-
vernment, might at such a conclave of parties most
fully acquainted with the subject, be removed, and the
measure of the Ministers rendered more efficient and
complete.
There are not any late arrivals from the British colo-
nies to-day.
By an official return of the circulation of the Irish
Banks for the month, ending on the 28th of March, it
appears that the amount of bullion in the sister isle at
that date, amounted to about 2,500,000/. It has been
previously explained that when the late Act of Par-
liament came into operation, compelling all banks
in Ireland to have a certain amount of specie, according
to their issues, the stock of the precious metals in the
coffers of the Bank of England were lessened very
considerably, but the effect of the new law has been to
give more stability, if possible, than before existed to
the Irish banking business, a continuance of which must
of course have the most beneficial effects in increas-
ing confidence on the other side of the Channel. All
the banks chartered, as well as private or joint-stock,
seem by the present return to be doing a safe and a
lucrative business.

The Consol Market has been scarcely so firm this
morning as it was on Saturday, but the re-action in
♦alue has been slight. Consuls for Money, and for the
first transfer-day, to-morrow, have been quoted at 96k f,
for the Account at 964- and ; Exchequer-bills at 245.
to 275. premium; the Reduced Three per Cents. at 951 ;
while the New Three and a Quarter per Cents. have re-
ceded from 97* to 964. India Stock has fallen from
2611 to 261; and Bank of England Stock from 2064
to 206.

There has been a slight reaction in Mexican Stock
this morning, the official notification of the amount re-
ceived by the Avon, on account of the dividends being
smaller than was anticipated. This is, however, easily
accounted for, as the Conductor had not arrived at Vera
Cruz when the mail left, supposed to have over 2,000,000
dollars, on merchants and other interests, with it.
Mexican Bonds opened at 32*, and are now at 31i.
In the Portuguese Bonds there is an advance to 51 ; in
the Dutch Four per Cents., to 94 ; in the Two- and-a-
Half per Cents., to 591 ; but Spanish Consols have gone
back to 25. Old Brazilian Five per Cents. continue at
about 80i.
In the Railway Share Market, the proposed measures
of Government, in order to enable shareholders and
scripholders to compel the winding up of new projects,
continues the theme of anxious discussion. In the mean-
time, there is not much doing in Railway Shares, but
prices are more firm.
