LONDON, THURSDAY, FEB. 4, 1353.

The extraordinary activity displayed by the
French Government in introducing new measures
—most of them of a repressive or coercive cha-
racter, clearly indicate that the EMPEROR at
length sees the necessity of setting his house in
order. The existence of a plot of which the police
had no previous knowledge, has excited grave ap-
prehensions lest another of a similar description
might terminate more fatally. Unfortunately the
EMPZROR does not perceive the necessity of con-
ciliating his people, or winning their respectful
love and affection, and thus rendering every true-
hearted Frenchman a devoted guard, who would
sacrifice even life itself before any danger should
come to his Sovereign. In place of that course
which would paralyse the aim and distract the
hand of the assassin, he is striving to rivet the
chains more firmly on their limbs, to gag and fetter
his subjects, and render the Government of France
a pure autocracy. Free discussion is altogether
suppressed not only in the public jonrnal, but
in the cafés, and even in
private society. It is true that the word " publicly" has been inserted
in the bill, but wo are yet to learn what inted
Wien will be given to that phrase, or Whether it
will not be extended to any place where even two
or three are assembled together, and where the
conversation may chance to turn on political
events, judging from the ready subservience
exhibited in other matters. We cannot consider
the insertion of that simple word, although a
decided improvement, sufficient to remove the
well-grounded objections that prevailed against the
obnoxious provisions.
The worst clause of all, however, is that which
authorises the imprisonment, or banishment, or
expulsion of every individual who has been either
condemned or removed to the interior, expelled
or transported, as a measure of general security,
on account of the events of May or June, 1848,
of June, 1849, or of December, 1851, and tyhom
serious facts again point out as dangerous to public
security. This is virtually a return to the lettres
de cachet and protracted, perhaps permanent, inl-
prisonment to the creation of a nevi' Bastile, and
the powtr, not merely of simple extradition, but

GREECE.

The Journal de St. Petersboarg announces, as
naws, that the canal between Eaboaa and the main-
land of Greece is completed; and admits of the
passage of vessels of the very largest siza ;
but it appears to me that it W3B finished
some time ago. The suspension- bridge
over the canal, between CliaNis (Egiros)

and the point of land opposite, yiat. opened a
few days since by King Otho, in person. Vessels
going to Salonica and Constantinople now pass
through the channels of Egripos and Talante,
instead of going to the east of Karystos and Eubcea.

COM YIERCTAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
with less animation, and prices were unal.ered.
The sales amounted to 6,000 bales, 1,000 of which
were taken by the speculators. The Railway Share
Market manifested a quiet appearance, and few
transactions took place at about previous rates.

The Board of Trade returns for 1857 have not
yet been published, although upwards of a month
has elapsed since the date to which they will be
completed.

Since the date of the last Bank of England return
an addition of about 280,0001. has been made to
the general stock of bullion, and the total probably
now exceeds 15,700,0001., which is a larger amount
than has been deposited there since 1855. About
60,0001. was sent in yesterday, and as there
is a fair supply on land yet undisposed of, a ftu they
augmentation will no doubt take place during the
next few days. At present there is little prospect of
the movement receiving any material check, con-
siderable remittances being en route from Australia,
while the American receipts will form an im-
portant item in the specie importations for some
time to come. A few parcels of gold have been
despatched to France within the last few days,
which has led to some discussion as to the proba-
bility of a renewed efflux in that direction. Of
course, no definite opinion can yet be arrived at
upon this point, but even in the event of a re-
sumption of shipments thither, the imports would
be large enough, not only to supply that demand,
but also to ensure a continuous accumniation of the
precious metals in Threwlneedle-street.

At the annual meeting, to-day, of the London
and County Banking Company, Mr. Jones in the
chair, a dividend was declared of 6 per cent. for
the half-year, free of income-tax, which, with 5 per
cent. already paid for the six months ending the
30th June last, will be 11 per cent, for the year
1857. The balance of 7,3941. lls. 4d. was carried
forward to profit and loss new account.

ITALY.

A letter from Pamara of the 26th ult. informs us
that a slight shock of an earthquake had been ex-
perienced in that city. Telegraphic advices from
Milan, Modona, Placentia, Massa, and Genoa state
that nothing similar has been experienced in those
places or iu their neighbourhood.

dron, got ashore on the Shingles Shoal at 4.30
this morning, where she remained high and dry.
The Port-Admiral at Sheerness sent her Majesty's
steam-tenders Lizard. and Wildfire to her assist-
ance, and there was no doubt she would be got
off at high tide.

buco on December 31, and proceelod to Paraiba
and Para on the 2d of January.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY

N

just ifiGation of our belief, that upon this head, at
least, our hopes may, to a very considerable extent,
be realsed. More, however, than many imagine
depends, in reference to all such hopes, upon the
o-pposition than upon the Government. It should
be remembered, howbeit, in our complex system,
that the Opposition in reality constitutes the
motive power of the Administration. it is this
which is the secret of so many undeniable advan-
tages having resulted to the nation from the con-
flict of parties. The fear of the Opposition has
been the incitement of the Government. In tes-

timony of this, it is altogether undeniable that we
have never had such indolent Governments as
when we have had weak and powerless Oppositions.
Hence it is come to be almost a political axiom,
that a strong Opposition makes an active and
energetic Government. All this being, of course,
simply the result, in one word, of wholesome
—competition. It is not unreasonable, therefore,
to look for further advantages arising out of
wholesome competition of this kind between Con-
servative-Liberal, and Liberal-Conservatives.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
Thomas Blacketer and John Rigdon Thornhill,
the former of whom was convicted at the last ses-
sion of being in poases•ion of a quantity of obscene
books and prints at a shop-in Holywell street, with
intent to sell and dispose of them, and the latter,
who pleaded guilty to a like offence, surrendered
to receive the judgment of the court.

Mary Elliott, who had also pleaded guilty to a
similar offence, was likewise placed at the bar.
The Recorder, in passing sentence, said that with
regard to the prisoners Blacketer and Thornhill, it
appeared that they were found occupying the pre.
raises of a man who was at the time undergoing the
sentence of the law for an offence of -the saute de-
scription, and they appeared to have been trying
whether they, or the law, were the stronger.
It was true that since t lege prosecutions they
had closed the premises and now undertook to
abandon this sort of traffic, hut it was impos-
sible -to pass over such an offence without
some punishment, and the sentence upon them
would be one of imprisonment and hard labour for
six months. With regard to the other defendant,
Mary Elliott, it appeared that when one se-zure had
been made, she was in plsse,sion of a fresh collec-
tion very soon afterwards, and the shop was still
open, and there appeared to be a determination to
carry on the disgus, ing traffic in defiance of the law.
The seutence upon her, therefore, would be impri-
sonment with bard labour for twelve months, to
commence from the last session, as she had been in
custody duringthe interval.
