the Herald and Plover surveying-ships, exploring
the Arctic regions. Ducie,: a greet porti-,a of that
period the attention of all on hoard was strongly
directed to the consideration of the probable course
followed by Sir JOHN FRANKLIN, and of the most
eligible mode of discovering the missing expedition.
On these points the gallant young lieutenant
pondered long and deeply, and the results of his
meditations were yesterday evening stated at the
meeting of the distinguished society above alluded
to, whose cordial approval and practical co-operation
were secured in favour of the project.
Lieutenant Pim stated briefly the circumstances
which led him to believe that the imprisoned ships
were not to be found on the coast of America, but on
that of Asia. It was not probable that Sir Joint
FRANKLIN had failed in the very commencement of
his career—that he would be found on the threshold
of the North-West Passage, if such there be.
Where then was he to be sought for ? That
was the problem, and to its solution Lieutenant
Pim brought a clear and intelligent mind
and habits of calm and patient investigation. Fully
acquainted with the naratives of WRANGEL and
ANJOU and other circum-polar navigators, and also
with the views of Colonel SABINE and the several
scientific writers on the Exothurmal lines, and the
existence of open water about the Pole, he conceived
that the expedition might have passed through Wel-
lington Channel, attained the Polymia, and then
steered to the westward. It would then be,
on re-entering the ice with the inten-
tion of reaching the Pacific Ocean, that
the chief difficulties would have impeded his
progress, and where, completely frozen in, and
rendered powerless, be might be driven on either
coast of the old or the' new world. The researches
that have already taken place on the latter afford
strong, if not conclusive, evidence that it is not on
the American shores that the gallant voyagers can be
sought for. The Siberian coast, however, has not
been thoroughly investigated. It is a link yet wanting
to complete the chain of search. Lieutenant PIAI
is willing to supply that deficiency. He offers, with-
out remuneration of any kind, beyond the mere ex-
penses to undertake the journey, starting within the
present week, travelling by way of St. Petersburgb,
Moscow, Tobolsk, Irkutz, and Takoutz, to the mouth
of the Kolyma, and thence exploring the coast of
Siberia, east and west, for a distance of ten thousand
miles. He required no considerable party, no
large resources, to prosecute this inquiry.
He only asked for a single companion
and a single servant. The expenses would be trifling
indeed, when compared with the possible ad-
vantages. But from these the Admiralty shrink—
a few hundred pounds is too large an
outlay. Lady FRANKLIN, however, has once
more come forward, and offered 5001., all in her
power 7 to devote to the purpose, but manifestly in-
adequate to the necessary expenses of such
an undertaking. We trust the British people
will not merely supply the deficiency, but
that they will willingly contribute all tbat may be
necessary without infringing on the funds of the
noble-minded and devoted woman wbose name will
henceforth be a household word, a synonym of
fidelity and love. The funds may easily be raised,
and we have too high an opinion of our countrymen
to doubt that they will be forthcoming even within
the present week.

THE FREINO-1 REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
On Sunday upwards of 600 of the officers and
men of the regiments newly arrived in Paris were
introduced to the PRESIDENT by General MAGNAN.
In answer to the compliments addressed to him, the
PRESIDENT of the Republic addressed the troops in
the following words :
" Gentlemen,—ln receiving the officers of the different
regiments of the army who succeed each other in the
garrison of Paris, I congratulate myself on seeing
theta animated with that spirit whioh was our glory,
and which now constitutes our security. I will
not speak to you, therefore, either of your duties
or of your discipline. You have always performed
your duties with honour, whether in the land of
Africa or the soil of France; and you have always
maintained discipline intact in the midst of the most
difficult trials. I hope that these trials will not return,
but if the gravity of circumstances should renew them,
and compel me to make an appeal to your devotedness,
I am sure that I should not be disappointed, because
you know that I demand nothing that is not in accord
with my right, recognised by the Constitution, with
military honour, and with the interest of the country;
because I have placed at your head man who have my
entire confidence, and who merit yours; because, if ever
the day of danger should arrive, I will not do as the
Governments which have preceded me have done—l
will not say to you March, and I will follow you,' but
1 will say to you, I march, follow me.' "
This speech is looked upon as a declaration of war
against the Assembly. The Ministers, it is said,
greatly disapproved of the speech, concerning the
composition of which they were never consulted.
The Assemblee Nationale says :
" The Ministry was much excited at such a speech.
A Council of Ministers immediately assembled, to re-
quest the President of the Republic to do as he did at
Dijon—withdraw anything that was of a nature to offend
the prerogatives of the Assembly, and cause uneasiness
in the public mind. The Ministry demanded the erasure
of the most significant phrases relative to personal policy,
or at least that the words respect for the Constitution'
should be introduced. The Elysee gave the Ministry
this last satisfaction."

The kational b,sy s
M. Bonaparte promises not to exact anything but
what is in accordance with his right recognised by the
Constitution. We hope these words have been textually
reported, and that they are the tardy, but exact expres-
sion of avowable sentiments. M. Bonaparte will now be
but too short a time in power to allow of the appeal he
wskes to the devotedness of the army being taken in a
wrong sense; it is clear that it must be taken lu the
sense of devotedness to the Constitution. Should, on the
other hand, any attempt be made against the Repub►ic,
the army—such is our b.dief—would not forget that the
President has no other rights save those which are
granted to him by the Constitution."

M. MOLE, President of the Committee on the new
Electoral Law, informed the Minister of the Interior,
at the close of the sitting of Saturday, that the Com-
mittee had come to their resolutions, and had named
its reporter, and requested that if the Minister wished
to give any explanations he would do so as soon as
possible. M. DS ZIORIGNY replied that he would
attend on the following day (yesterday). The Com-
mittee consequently assembled at three o'clock, but
the Minister not attending through some misunder-
standing, the meeting, after waiting half an hour,
broke up. The Minister has since sent a letter to M.
MOLE, expressing his regret at the misunderstanding
which prevented his attending, and stating that he
held himself at the orders of the Committee.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

There was a large business done in Cotton at Liver-
pool yesterday, and the market closed with an upward
tendency. American and Surat were about kd. higher;
other sorts without alteration. The sales were estimated
at from 12,000 to 14,000 bales, of which 500 American
and 1,000 Surat were taken for export, and 1,500 Ame-
rican and 1,000 Surat on speculation. The sales com-
prised 8,000 American, 500 Pernam and Maranhani, at
skd. to 6i-if.; 900 Bahia, at 51d. to 6(1.; 250 Egyptian,
chiefly at stcl.; 3,000 Surat, at 2-d. to 3d, and 120
Sea Island, at Is. 3d. to la. 93d. per lb.—The Share
Market was firm, at rather higher prices.
The monthly statement of our foreign trade and ton-
nage, made up to the 10th October, show a slight falling
off compared with the corresponding period of 1850, but
there is nothing out of the ordinary course. Our exports
have kept up as respects all the principal staples. Of
cotton, silk, and linen manufactures we have sent
away more, and the decrea'e is upon woollens, me-
tals, fish, glass, and a few other items. The total ex-
ports for the month are 6,346,9944 being 87,8431. less
than to the same time in 1850.

The imports of the nine months arc worthy of notice,
chiefly as respects the following items :

The shipping returns are satisfactory, the Inward
Entries being for the month 799,340 tons, of which
506,407 were vessels belongieg to the United Kingdom
and its dependencies, against 768,975 and 500,714 tons
last year. The Outward Clearances are equally good,
and prove that our owners are succes-fully competing
with foreign countries. The coasting trade falls off
owing to the facilities afforded by railways, and parti-
cularly does this appear in the new Coal movement.
The following, from the Circular of Messrs. Schrader
and Mummy, dated New Orleans, October 18, and pub-
lished by Mr. James Irvine of Liverpool, gives the state
of the Cotton Market there:—Our Circular of the 4th
October, closed upon a dull and drooping market, owing
to the great stringency in the Exchange market and ad-
vancing freights, our quotations that day being Vet for
middling, Id. freight to Liverpool, and 91 to HP, per
cent, for sterling exchange. During the past fortnight
the same causes have continued to influence the busi-
ness to a great extent, and the first week closed with a
decline of about to. During this week, however, not-
withstanding the very rapid advance in freights, con-
siderable decline in exchange, and the increased diffi-
culty in negotiating, we have had a very active business,
resulting in sales of 34,800 bales, of which 22,000 bales
in the first three days,—a very large quantity for this
season of the year. The transactions of the last days,
no doubt, would have been more extensive, but the fac-
tors' tables presented only a bare appearance, having
been pretty much swept by the previous heavy sales.
The market closes now very firm, at our quotations; in
some instances, perhaps, somewhat higher rates have
been obtained. From the tables below, it will be seen
that the freight to Liverpool is now kd., and the rate of
sterling 6 to 71 per cent. A large proportion of the
business done, was for Great Britain and France, and to
judge from the character of the recent operators, a
greater feeling of confidence seems now to pervade the
market, which renders it very doubtful indeed whether
the market will go any lower for the next time to come.
The weather has been very favourable for securing the
crops, and the accounts from the bottom-lands continue
good. The quality of the cotton coming in now, seems
to commence tailing off, and it is a general complaint,
that the larger proportion of cottons are very leaty. The
finer grades continue very scarce. Good ordinary 61 to
6-a; middling 7 to 7k; good middling 7i to 7i; mutating
fair 7/1- to 71; fair Bk. Sales during the fortnight,
60,900 bales. Receipts at this port, 141,211 bales,
against 70 384 bales last year. Increase of receipts at
all ports, 52,019 bales."
The mail with the West India and Mexican advices
has arrived, and brings a large sum in gold and silver.
The accounts generally are much of the same tenor as
previously. The trade of Jamaica seems to be more
depressed than that of the other colonif s.
Accounts from St. Lucia state that the sugar crop of
1851 had closed, and presented a better appearance than
was expected at the commencement of the season. The
exports of the present year, when compared with those
of 1850, exhibited a surplus of about 1,100 hhds.
Judging from the state of the weather, it was thought
that next year will be more fruitful still.

The shipments from Tobago showed a small increase
over last year in Sugar and Rum, and a slight decrease
in Molasses.

The crops of Trinidad were most favourable, there
being in Sugar an increase of 4,067 hhds 1,132 ►tierces
and 3,040 barrels over the exports in the
like period of 1850. The ensuing crop is likely
to exceed that of this year. and there was an up-
prehension that the price of sugar would advance on ac-
count of the extended cultivation and the demand for
labour. The decrease in the shipments of Molasses
was attributable to the increased consumption for the
manufacture of rum, and the quantity hid back for
feeding purposes. The exports of rum have exceeded
those of last year by 528 puns. Tho cultivation of
coffee was declining rapidly on account of the unremnne-
rating price.

Tbe'letters received by the Mexican Committee from
Mr. Falconnet state that M. Ramirez was named Minis.
ter of Home and Foreign Affairs, but that no Minister
of Finance was appointed. M. Olarte had made a
claim upon the dividends for moneys furnished or
expenses paid on account of Mr. W. P. Robertson's
mission, but Mr. Falconnet would resist this. The
claims of the Foreign Governments for merchants and
others were to be submitted to private and judicial ar-
rangement. This does not affect the bondholders.
There appears to have been nothing yet obtained from
Manning and Mackintosh but promises. The amount
for the dividends is rather over 20,000 dollars as ad-
vised, but Colonel Facio may have other sums.
