THE MORNING MAILS:
According to the official corrected list of post towns to
which letters and ne espapers are forwarded by the
morning mail trains (as well as the evening), there are
327 post towns in England and Wales to which this
aovantage is afforded by the facilities of railway ex-
press. The following towns have recently been added
to the list, viz.:—Andover, Brurly-hill, Bury (Lanca-
shire). Crawley, Leominster, Liphook, Oakham, Odi-
ham, Petersfield, Vresteign, Sherborne, Winslow, and
Yeovil. The following towns have been discontinued
(except by the evening mails) :—Chepstow, Oldham,
Sleaford, and St. Neot's. All Scotland, all Ireland
(three times daily—morning, afternoon, and evening);
trom France and countries through France, Belgium,
Holland, Germany, and the north of Europe, there are
also two deliveries in town daily (except Sundays).
The Right Hon. the Marquis of Clanricarde, the
Postmaster-General, is making arrangements with
the Western Railway directors to extend it to Devon-
port, Plymouth, and other parts of the far west of
England, which have now only oue daily delivery, both
letters end newspapers, &c. Money orders are granted
at the chief money order office, Aldersgatc-street, and
the breech offices in the metropolis, to the above towns,
at a very moderate charge (and also registering of
letters), to every part of the United Kingdom, the British
colonies, America, the continent, &c.—which facility, it
is hoped, will be generally adopted by parties instead of
sending moeo in letters through the post, which is a
great temptation to fraud by the employes or letter de-
liverers, either in town or country. For all the above
places the letter-boxes at the receiving-houses through-
out the metropolis will be open till 7 A.M. for news-
papers, and 7.45 A M. for letters; and those at the branch
offices, Charing-cross, Old Cavendish-street, and Stones-
end, Borough, for newspapers until 7.30 A.M., and for
letters until 8 At the General Post-office, St. Mar-
tin's-le-Grand, and the branch office in Lombard-street,
the boxes will close for newspapers at 7.45 A.m., and for
letters at 8 30 A.M.

LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1851.

The intelligence from France received yesterday
is of the very gravest importance ; the dismissal of
the LEON FAUCIIER Ministry may be considered
" the beginning of the end," so far as the PRESI-
DENT of the Republic is concerned, but what that
end may be it is at present impossible even to
guess at. Our own opinion is that it will be the
consolidation of the true Republic, and we are con-
firmed in that opinion by an attentive consideration
of the career of Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE since
the memorable 10th of December, 1848. That elec-
tion was represented by the whole party of the re-
action as the triumph of the despotic and obscuran-
tist principle over the democratic ; the Legitimatise
saw in Louis NAPOLEON only the Planche
Napolionienne over which HENRY V. was to
safely walk to the throne, the partipretre saw
in him a man ambitious only of securing to himself a
perpetuity of power, determined, by adroitly
holding out hopes of the gratification of that
ambition, to make of him a tool for the restoration of
the sacerdotal supremacy of the most bigotted and
obscurantist section of the Roman priesthood ; whilst
the Orleanists accepted him as, at all events, a nearer
approach to monarchy than had been the previous
republican regime, and determined, as usual, to
watch the course of events and trust to circumstances ;
he himself believed and believes that the prestige of his
name alone secured his return, and that it will be still
sufficient to carry him through all his difficulties. All
these various parties agreed in representing the Re-
publicans as a miserable minority, to be coerced, to
to be exterminated, to be explled, not to be con- '
ciliated. How false was this estimate of the week-
ness of the Republicans, and how grossly Louis
NAPOLEON miscalculated when he sought an alliance
with the Monarchists to the exclusion of the Repub-
licans, the whole of his Presidential career has suffi-
ciently shown. He began by nominating a Ministry
composed of men of all parties, from which, however,
ere one week had elapsed, the whole of those suspected
of even the most moderate republicanism were ex-
pelled, and which was, in fact, under the direction of
the Jesuit DE FALLOUX, by whose advice the invasion
