FRANCE.

Yesterday's .Moniteur publishes the following
letter from the Emperor to the Minister of the
Marine and the Colonies :

Fontainebleau, July 1, 1861.

Monsieur to Ministre,—Since the emancipation of the
slaves our colonies have sought to procure labourers on the
coasts of Africa by way of repurchase, and by means of
contracts assuring to the negroes a salary for the work
which they execute. These engagements are made for five
or seven years, after which the labourers are sent back to
their country gratuitously, unless they prefer to settle in
the colony ; and, in that case, are permitted to reside there
on the same terms as the other inhabitants. This mode of
recruitment, it must be admitted, differs completely from
the slave trade ; in fact, while the latter had for its origin
and object slavery, the former on the contrary leads to
liberty. The negro slave as soon as he is engaged as a
labourer is free, and is not under any other obligations than
those which result from his contract.

Nevertheless doubts have been raised as to the conse-
quences which these engagements may have on the Afri-
can populations. It has been asked whether the price
of repurchase did not constitute a premium on slavery. As
far back as 1859 I ordered the cessation of all recruit-
ment on the eastern coast of Africa, where it had caused
inconveniences ; sine then I have prescribed the restriction
of operations of this sort on the Western Coast. Lastly, I
have desired that the questions raised by African emigra-
tion should be most carefully examined. To-day I sign a
treaty with the Queen of Great Britain, by which her Bri-
tannic Majesty consents to authorise in the provinces of
India submitted to her Crown the engagement of labourers
for our colonies on the same terms as those observed for
the English colonies.
We ought to find then in India, in the French posses-
sions in Africa, and in the country in which slavery is
prescribed, all the free labourers we have need of. In such
circumstances I desire that the African recruitment, by
way of repurchase, be completely abandoned by French
commerce from the day when the treaty concluded with
her Britannic Majesty shall begin to receive its execution
and through its whole duration. If that treaty should
cease to exist, it could only be in virtue of an express autho-
risation to this recruitment, and if it was recognised as in-
dispensable and without inconvenience, could be resumed.
You will be good enough, then, to take the necessary
measures for giving effect to this decision from July 1,
1862, and for prohibiting in our colonies the introduction
of negroes recruited on the coast of Africa subsequently to
that epoch. NAPOLEON.

BOURSE, July 9.—The market has been heavy,

THE PRICE OF GOLD

The quotation of gold at Paris is aboutls per mine prem.,
and the short exchange on London is 25.37 k per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it roz)pears that gold is
about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London. than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price o 1 gold is 426 k per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.8 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
1 per cent. dearer in London than In Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 105} to 106 Per, cent., which, when compared
with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the
exchange is against Englaud, But, after making .allowance
for loss of interest and charges of transport, th 4 t present
rate leaves little, or no, profit on sending gold to tl ow 'United

MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS ACT AMEND-
MENT (No. 2) BILL.
The committee on this bill was resumed.

On clause 2,
Mr. NEWDE GATE moved that the clause be expunged.
Mr. SCIIOLEFIELD defended the clause. It was a
mistake to suppose that the investigation of police cases was
the only duty of the mayor.
Mr. ADDERLEY hoped his hon. friend would persist
in taking the sense of the house.
The committee divided—

For the clause
Against it
Majority
The clause was then agreed to.

Mr. NEWDEGATE gave notice that he would move
the omission of this clause on the bringing up the report.
(Oh, oh.)
Clauses 3,4, and 5 wore agreed to.
Clause 6, after some diecussion, was agreed to, with the
understanding that certain amendments should be brought
up on the report.

The remaining clauses were agreed to and the house
resumed.

GREAT SCULLEBS' MATCH.

CLASPER AND POCOCK FOR £5O ASIDE.
The match between Clasper and Pocock came off yester-
day, the course being from Putney to Barnes-bridge.;
Clasper having won the toss for choice of station, took
the inside, or the Middlesex side of the river, and at a
quarter-past three the start took place, both men getting a
very evenly. Off Searle's Clasper had succeeded in ob-
taining a trifling lead, which he continued to increase,
and in crossing the water he went right a head ;
in doing so he ran a narrow escape of losing the race alto
gether by nearly fouling Pocock.
Clasper gained Hammersmith-bridge in two minutes ane
a half, two boats' length a-head of Pocock, and continued
to further improve his lead most materially.
Barnes bridge was reached in 22 minutes and a quartet
by Clasper, who was four boats' length in advance of Po
cock.

The last letters from Halifax state that the
Nova Scotia gold discoveries continued to attract atten-
tion. In addition to the deposits at Tangier, others have
been found at Margaret's Bay, to the westward of Halifax,
and at a place called Musquodobit, in the interior. Several
specimens were about to be forwarded to England, which
are believed to be above standard. Some of the quartz at
Tangier is alleged to have yielded 20 ounces to the ton, but
the various statements made are without corroboration from
any one possessing scientific knowledge.
THE CROPS IN NORTH AND EAST YORKSHIRE.—

A tolerably correct estimate may now be formed of the har-
vest prospects in this district. The hay crop is proving very
light, but where uncut a little extra undergrass is expected
from the late forcing weather and thunderstorms. The
cereals, as a rule, are light, the long drought of the spring
having cramped the plants; but the crops are otherwise
healthy and promising. The wheat plant is now in full
flower, and a critical period has yet to be passed before har-
vest. Some apprehension exists of the iil effects of the
thunderstorms now imminent, and which on Friday and
Saturday discharged showers of rain, hail, and ice over the
\Vold district, where heaviest flattening the crops. A very
severe storm, prolonged over the greater part of the day,
traversed the North Riding on Sunday,.being of a terrific
character along the base of the High Moors. The spring-
sown crops are very short and thin, the est being tho
sown late in May. These, however, areb backward se
must prolong the harvest. In the most forward districts,,ail
and with favourable weather, the grain harvest is expected
to be commenced in five weeks hence. Though the corn
crops are regarded as below the average beans and peas are
everywhere stated to be healthy and of prolific promise ;
and the root crops are looking extremely well in all direc-
tions. Turnips have rapidly outgrown the ravages of the
fly and are now quito safe. Potatoes
are everywhere luau-
•

THE NEW ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

Sir W. ATHERTON, the Attorney-General, took the
oaths and his seat for Durham.

The sitting was then suspended.
At six o'clock the house resumed.
BOROUGH OF GLOUCESTER.

Mr. H. BERKELEY wished to ask the Secretary of
State for the Home Department whether it was his inten-
tion to move, in committee on the Election Law Amend-
ment Bill, a clause for the disfranchisement of Gloucester
for five years, and whether that penal sentence was to date
from the last election or to be prospective?
Sir G. C. LEWIS said if the bill came on in the present
session, which was somewhat doubtful, it was his intention
to move such a clause. The time would be computed from
the date of the commissioners' report.
Mr. H. BERKELEY said be would withdraw his motion
for the issuing of a writ for Gloucester. If the bill came
before the house he should move that the writ be issued,
and if not, he should feel it to bo his duty to lay the case of
Gloucester before the house.

POLICE INTELLP),ENCE, Dec. 5.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. William
Harding. builder, appeared to a summons obtained
by Mrs. Elizabeth Harding, his wife, for threaten-
ing her life and assaulting her.
There were three other summonses, all arising
out of this case.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street,
was for the complainant; Mr. Haynes for the
defendant.
The evidence, which extended to great length,
was to the effect that the complainant, who had been
married several years and had five children by the
defendant, but never had a comfortable home made
for her, was obliged to part from the defendant and
take a lodging-house, No. 60, Charlotte-street,
which her brother furnished for her, in order that
she might find a subsistence for herself and children.
Since she had got into this house her husband had
constantly annoyed her by coming to the house and
making a disturbance, under the pretence that he
wanted to come back to her and live with her again.
On Nov. 28 he came to the house and continued to
annoy her by using vile language, threats, and
~ssaults, and by refusing to leave the house.
-,rove the assault, several witnesses were called.
Inr said she was at Mrs. Harding's house

the bedroom, dragged her into the drawing-rod_
threw her on the couch, and pulled her ear and bit
her. One of the lodgers, who was alarmed by the
screams of Mrs. Harding, came upstairs and laid
hold of the defendant to restrain him. A policeman
was also called in, but he refused to interfere, as the
complainant had no protection order.
Mr. Preston, the lodger referred to, spoke to the
defendant's violent conduct.
The cook and housemaid of the complainant also
deposed to the violent language and acts of the
defendant.
Jaynes, for the defendant, contended that
his clietit only desired to obtain a restitution of con-
jugal rights, and that he might again have the
solace of his wife and children. The assaults would
be negatived, and the apparent violence explained
satisfactorily by witnesses he should call.
Mr. Tyrwhitt here remarked that it appeared to
him the best way to dispose of the charge was to
require both parties to find bail.
Mr. Lewis said he would readily agree to this
course, as the wife only desired to be protected until
such time as she could make an application to the
Divorce Court.
Mr. ijaynea said he could, haye no objection to

THE ARDII.

Col. Gordon, RE., commanding the Royal En-
gineering district in the south-west, received orders
on Wednesday to hold himself in readiness to em-
bark in 48 hours on board the Melbourne, screw
transport, for Canada. Two subalterns from the
same district also embark in the same ship for
Canada. Col. Ogle, R.E., remains for the present
in the south-west district. Col. Ross, R.E., at pre-
sent superintending the construction of the forts
on Portsdown, assumes the command pro tem. of
the south-west district.
Orders were received at Aldershott late on Wed-
nesday evening for the following troops to hold
themselves in readiness to proceed at once to Canada:
—Leslie's No. 6 or F battery, 4th Brigade, Royal
Artillery; the 2d battalion, 20th; 2d, 16th, and
45th of the line, and a detachment of the 16th Lan-
cers. The battery was to parade for medical in-
spection at 11 o'clock this morning, and will leave
the camp early on Monday morning for Woolwich,
there to embark for Canada. This battery, which
is supplied with Armstrongs, was in the Crimea and
has been at Aldershott since June. The regiments
of the line and the Lancers are expected to leave
the camp during the ensuing week.
At the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham,
yesterday, an order was received by Col. Harness,
C. 8., from the Deputy-Adjutant-General, Horse
Guards, to have the whole of the non-commissioned
officers and men of the several companies at head-
quarters who are fit for foreign service medically
inspected. As soon as the order arrived the Royal
Engineers were marched to the general hospital at
Brompton, where the inspection was commenced by
the medical staff of the establishment. This order
has occasioned the most intense interest among the
officers and men, and the result is looked forward
to with the keenest anxiety. It is stated that a
large forca of Royal Engineers will be despatched
to Canada.

Late advices from British Columbia regarding
the yield of gold are extremely favourable. New disco-
veries of great richness had been made, and in some locali-
ties the miners were realising larger sums than have ever
been obtained by individuals in California or Australia.
The instances of persons gaining steadily from £lO to £3O
a day were numerous. Two labouring men had just arrived
at Victoria, Vancouver's island, £1,400, the produce
of only a few weeks. Success was so general that it is said
"we hear of no dissatisfied miners " A large immigration
was consequently expected, but the great drawback con-
sisted in the absence of steam communication between San
Francisco and Victoria,

THE MURDER AT TOWN MALLIN O.
John Atkins, 42, labourer, was indicted for the
wilful murder of his wife, Elizabeth Atkins.
The prisoner, who is rather a good-looking man,
and whose countenance did not exhibit the slightest
indication of any ferocity of disposition, would have
been tried at the last Summer Assizes, but the trial
was postponed upon the application of his counsel,
in order that evidence might be adduced to show
the state of his mind at the time the act was com-

prisoner.
The learned counsel for the prosecution, in opt-_
the case for the jury, said it was unnecessary for him
to call their attention to the very serious character
of the charge that was made against the prisoner, the
offence imputed to him being that he had of his malice
aforethought killed and murdered his wife. He said
he was afraid that the evidence would make out that
the act had been committed under the influence of
jealousy, and that the only defence that would be at-
tempted would be that the prisoner was in such a
state of mind at the time as not to be responsible for
his actions ; but it was, he felt assured, needless for
him to say that they ought not to give any effect to
such a defence, unless the evidence in support of it
was clear and conclusive.
The following witnesses were then examined :

ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of

removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan, Infirmary for the

Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which

their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Although the fresh arrivals of English wheat were very
moderate, the trade, both for red and white qualities, was
in a sluggish state. Yet no change took place in prices
compared with Monday.

The supply of foreign wheat was tolerably extensive.
Buyers were cautious in effecting sales, and the amount of
business transacted was small, at late rates.
Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at
full currencies.

Malting barley sold slowly at barely stationary prices.
Grinding sorts, however, were firm.
The finest descriptions of malt moved off steadily at full
quotations. Tuferior parcels, however, were a dull sale.
Oats were in steady request, and prices were well sup-
ported.

THE ATHEN/EUM is ;now THREEPENCE.
—Thirty years ago, when THE ATHENiEUM came
into the hands of its present Proprietors, its price was
Eightpence, and its contents, with advertisements, forty-
eight columns. Convinced that the circulation of Literary
Journals was restricted by high price, and that every advan-
tage offered to the public would bring increase of circulation
and authority, the Proprietors reduced the price one-half—to
Fourpeuce. The experiment succeeded, and cheap Literary
Journals became the rule.
The Eroprietors have always held to the principle then
proved. " They hale given to the public the benefit of every
change in the law, increasing the size without iugrease
cf
price, until the average has become double its former size -
above ninety-six columns.

THE EXPLORING EXPEDITION.

During the past month facts have been disclosed
with regard to the progress of the exploring expedi-
tion which tend in a great degree to destroy whatever
confidence may have beengentertained by the public
in this undertaking. Mr. Landells, the second in
command, and who had charge of the camels,
has resigned his situation, and has recently returned
to Melbourne. The grounds of this step are his
belief of the unfitness of Mr. Burke, the leader, for
the safe conduct of the expedition, and the alleged
interference of that gentleman with his (Mr. Lan-
dells') duties in the management of the camels. Some
strange incidents have been recorded by Mr. Lan-
dells of Mr. Burke's conduct to those under him,
and, if they be true, they certainly would imply
that Mr. Burke is not the " right man in the right
place." From the first opinions were entertained
by several persons that Mr. Burke's qualifications
were not at all of that character which should
entitle him to the command of au expedition so
important, and involving an expenditure of some
nine or ten thousand pounds of the colonists' money.
His sole qualification would appear to be that
he had filled the situation of Superintendent of
Police, was related to the Chief Justice of Vic-
toria, and had formerly been in the Austrian
service, He was no bushman ; he had no scien-
tific education; and he was not even possessed cf
the simple attainment of ascertaining his latitude
and longitude. Doubtless many explorers have
made themselves eminent with but very trifling

OUR GOLDFIELDS.

For the first time for upwards of a-year the quantities of
gold brought down by escort show an increase on the corres-
ponding period of last year. True, the difference is not
very great, but it is on the right side; and we have every
reason to hope that our escorts will soon show a very con-
siderable improvement. Many of our mining companies
aro getting to work, and improvements are being daily
made in the machinery employed upon the goldfields.'
During the past five weeks, the escorts have brought to
Melbourne 202,857 oa. of gold, as compared with 199,490
oz. in the corresponding period of the preceding year; the
total amounts being 2,011,384 oz. in 1859; and 1,823,336
oz. in 1860, showing a, deficiency for the present year of
188,048, equivalent to £752,192. The shipments during
the four weeks endini,,,- the 17th November were 253,670
oz. this year, and 136,225 oz. during the last; the total
quantity exported up to the present period of 1860 being
1,899,224 oz.
