Just as my Muse foretold.

Another year my fame I'll risk, '
As a prophetic bard,

EXPORTS.

Opium—The steamer Pekin, which left for Hong-
Kong on the 11th ult., took on 8521 chests of Malwa.
The market for the drug continues much depressed, the
price of the old having declined to Rs. 1,100. A small
quantity of the new crop has arrived, part of which has
been purchased at Rs. 1,160 per chest. The price for
December delivery is Rs. 1,060 ; of that for February,
Rs. 40 less. The new crop is estimated at fully 30,000
chests.

Cotton Wool—Since the arrival of the English mail of
24th September on the 25th ult. the prices of Compta
and Dhollera have been raised by holders, but very few
transactions have been effected at the advanced rates.
Prior to the 25th ult. a tolerably large business had been
done for the home market at the rates then ruling. The
total purchases amount to 3,400 bales and 2,350 candies.
We understand that the Cotton bales which were seized
by the collector in Broach and Jumbooseer, on account
of being adulterated with seeds, have been given up by
the authorities, and are now en their way to Bombay
without being cleaned. The same course has also been
pursued at Surat, where the restrictions lately put on
bales known to be seedy have been removed. So we
shall again have adulterated Cotton coming to market.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and of yesterday.
It was said that General CHANOARNIEE would be
appointed to" the command of the army of Observa-
tion on the German frontier, and that General IVIAG-
NAN would replace General CHANGARNIER. in Paris.
On the subject being mentioned to General CELAN..
GARNIER he declared that be would not accept the
command. of the army of observation except in the
event of a war.

On Saturday M. REMUSAT presented to the As-
sembly the report of the Committee on the demand of
the Minister of War for a credit for the new levy of
40,000 troops. The document enters at large into
the questions now pending in Germany. In allusion
to the Schleswig-Holstein question, it announces that
all the great Powers are unanimous in maintaining
the rights of Denmark ; and that, therefore, those
rights will be maintained. With regard to the ques-
tion of Hesse, and the other questions at issue, it
observes that those questions are at present es-
sentially German, " and, so long as they re-
main such, must be left for solution to the Ger-
man Powers. France, then, if only out of re-
spect for nationalities, feels that it is a duty
for herself, as well as for other foreign Powers,
to abstain from all intervention, unless unexpected
incidents should arise—unless, indeed, things should
change their aspect, so as gravely to compromise the
interests of neutral Powers, and the essential bases
of the European balance of power." The report,
after declaring that the committee is in perfect ac-
cordance with the Ministers on this aubject, con-
cludes by recommending the adoption of the follow-
ing resolution :
" The National Assembly, convinced that on the
questions which at this moment divide Germany the
policy of neutrality, as expressed and defined in the
message of the PRESIDENT, dated 12th November, is
the:sole policy suitable toFrance, passes to the discus-
sion of the articles of the Bill."
The debate was fixed for Thursday.
M. NISARD was elected Member of the French
Academy, in place of M. FILETZ ; M. Nrsanu had
23 votes ; M. ALFRED DE MUSSET had only 5.
The directors of the Journal des Debats, Constitn-
tionnel, Presse, National, Siecle, Evenement, and Re-
publique were on Friday fined 200 f. each by the Police
Court of Paris for having published advertisements of
foreign lotteries. The consequence of this conviction
is, that M. ARMAND BERTIN and the other directors
will be, under the new law, deprived of the electoral
franchise.

LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH
COAST RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.)
The usual half-yearly general meeting of the pro-
prietors of the London, Brighton, and South Coast
Railway, was held this afternoon, at the Bridge House
Hotel ; Mr. Samuel Laing, chairman of the board of
directors, in the chair.

The advertisement convening the meeting having
been read, the common seal was affixed to the
register of shareholders, after which the report of the
directors was read, from which we make the following
extracts :

"The acceunts fir the ha'f-year ending 31st December,
1349, aro subjoined, and show the following results:—
" Capital account—The amount of capit3.l raised up to
tho 31st D:cember, 1849, is 7,046,1684., consisting of—
Loan eapitli £1,392,938
Prete? e-Icc share capital 1,037,596
Ordinary share capital

£7,046,168

The whole of this amount, includinc, 85,960/. ex-
re bled on the London-bridge Station Enlargement, now
in progress, is treated as productive, and the intere t or
divand ncreon charged to revenue. Of this capital
there has been expended during the past half-Jeer
70,75C1, of which 17,719/. is for land and works on the
Portsmouth Est msion, and 43,188/. for the London-
bridge Station Enlargement. The purchase of the land
for the latter work being completed, and the principal
contract for the arches and masonry being let, the direc-
tors have the satisfaction of stating that the estimate
given by them in October, 1848, of 7,200,0001. fir the
completion of all the company's. undertakings, will not
only not be exceeded, but that a sufficient margin will
remain to provide the additional plant, rendered neces-
sary by the great increase of goods traffic consequent on
the opening of the Bricklayer's Arms Station and the
Thames Juncticn Branch.

LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1850.

The Protest of the Archbishops and some of the
Bishop of the Church of Englund against " the ar-
rogant assumption of the Bishop of ROME to exercise
spiritual dominion over this country, and to re-assert
his cla m to supremacy by nominating certain Romish
ecclesiastics to partieular places or sees in this king-
dom, thus interfering with a prerogative constitu-
tionv.lly belonging to her MAJESTY alone," is a most
reraarkable and important document. It is signed
both the Archbishops and by all the Bishops,.with
two exceptions, those exception• being the Bishop of
EXETER and the Bishop of ST. DAVID'S. We are at
4t loss to account for the non-appearance of the sig-
nature of the latter Right Rev. Prelate, and conclude
it must have bsen the result of accident. With re-
gard to the Bishop of EXETER, his refusal to sign
this document can only be regarded as a virtual de-
nial of the Royal supremacy, a course of proceeding
in which we should have imagined those who have
hitherto upheld and supported him would have fol-
lowed his example. We must confess that we are
move surprised at finding the signature of the
Bishop of OXFORD attached to this protest
Than at the omission of that of the Bishop of EXETER.
Not only is this protest a distinct avowal that the
communion of Rome is a" communion which con-
tinues to maintain practices repugnant to GOD'S
word; inculcates blasphemous fables and dangerous
deceits, and prescribes, as necessary to salvation, the
belief of doctrines grounded on no Warranty of Scrip-
ture ;" but it is a distinct acknowkdgrnent of the ab-
solute supremcy of the QUEEN in things ecclesiasti-
cal ; a clear declaration on the pert of the Bishop of
LCNDON, of the Bishop of Oxroan, and of the other
tigning Bishops, that to her Alaac.mi- appertains tl-,e
chief government of all estates of this realm, whether they
be ecclesiastical or civil." After this declaration we
trust we shall have no more protestings from any
whose signatures are attached to this document against
the decisions of the QUEEN and her Privy Council in
matters touching the doctrines of the Church, and we
take it for granted that neither the Bishop of OXFORD
!ler the Bishop of Loarnox are among the 1,800 clergy
NAG, have signed the propositions touching the Royal
supremacy to which Mr. BENNETT, of St. Barnabas,

Madrid journals of the 29th ult. have arrived.
A Madrid letter of the 28th ult. says :—" The
QUEEN today received the deputations of the two
Chambers, to present their respective addresses, M.
BRAVO klumno, the Minister of Finance, who had
hitherto appeared to be perfectly in accord with
his colleagues, went yesterday to the President of
the Council, to tender his resignation, in conse-
quence, as he said, of finding the amount set
down in the budget of the Minister of War
too high, and the refusal of that Minister to re-
duce it to the sum which he (M. MURILLO) thought
reasonable. A Council of Ministers was immediately
called, but the decision come to has not transpired.
Different reports are in circulation on the subject ;
some say that the resignation has been refused, while
others say that it has been accepted, and that M.
BEBTRAN DE Lis will be appointed to the vacant
portfolio. Often go so far as to say that the whole
Cabinet will retire. The general belief, however, is
that the matter will be arranged, and that M. BRAVO
MURILLO will retain his post."

PA TENT-LA W REFORM.

The committee appointed by the Society of Arts
held their third meeting yesterday. The members
present were the Right lion. Thomas Milner Gibson,
M.P. (in the chair), Mr. Henry Thomas Hope, M.P.,
Messrs. Henry Cole, Richard Prosser, of Birming-
ham, R. S. Newall, of Gateshead, Professor Solly,
and Captain Ibbetson.

The resolutions unanimously passed are as fol-
lows :

" 1. That a collection of all the specifications be made,
calendered, and indexed, and deposited for public in•
formation in the British Museum.

" 2. That it is highly desirable that such a collection
should be printed and published.
"3. That an annual report of all specifications re-
gistered, with proper indexes and calendars, be laid
before Parliament.

" 4. That it should be permitted to commence actions
for infringement of the rights of inventors in the County
Courts.

"5. That inasmuch as contrary to expectation very
little litigation has been created by the rights conferred
by the Designs Acts of 1842 and 1843, the Committee
is of opinion that a fair trial should be given to the
working of the proposed system of registration of in-
ventions before any special tribunal to determine inven-
tive rights be substituted for the existing tribunals."

GERMAN Y.

The following are the main facts of the Prussian
budget estimates for 1851. The revenue of the State
amounts to 94,694,959 thalers ; the ordinary ex-
penditure 93,483,711 thalers, showing a surplus of
1,211,248 thalers. The extraordinary expenditure is
estimated at 3,229,248 thalers, of which there is con-
sequently a sum of 2,118,000 thalers not covered.
The excess of the ordinary expenditure above the
ordinary revenue is 2,462,396 thalers more than in
1850. But in these estimates the cost of the recent
measures has not been included, and as the military
credit of last session is understood to be already
nearly expended, the excess of expenditure over the
income will be very much greater than that indicated
by the above figures.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES

By a private communication from Kiel it appears
that the Staathalterschaft has resolved to prosecute
the landed proprietors and clergy who signed the late
declaration of peace, for treason against the state ;
Count Mol'ke was the author of the declaration. A
military court of inquiry is also about to be ap-
pointed, to examine into certain facts connected
with the storming of Friederickstadt ; it is
believed that Colonel von der Tano, who commanded
during the whole operations, frequently acted against
the orders of the Commander-in-Chief, going beyond
them in some cases, and leaving them unperformed
in others. Von der Tann has quitted the service,
and, it is stated, without any formal permission. As
he was recalled by his own Government, it should be
stated that such permission was not required.

FRANCE.

A letter from Lorient, of the 28th ult., states that
a bottle, carefully sealed, was picked up on the pre-
vious day on the coast of Plouhinez, in the Alorbihan,
It contained a card on which was written, in pencil
—"Steam-ship Atlantic. name, Jonathan Welsh.
Ten days out."
The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 30th ult.,
publishes the following notice, issued by the Chamber
of Commerce of that city :
" The Chamber informs the merchants that, in virtue
of a decision, adopted on the 23d of November, by the
Supreme Director of the Board of Palermo, vessels ar-
riving from France and Gibraltar shall be admitted to
h-ee pratigne, provided they do not carry any Brazilian
article on board. Vessels arriving from Malta shall be
subyected to a quarantine of from seven to fourteen
days. This decision has been announced to the Chamber
of Commerce by the Consul of France in Sicily, in a
letter dated 25th inst."

tag° over England. That Bill, also, was thrown out in
the senate, which showed itself, by acts like these, e.coa-
trolling power, holding in check, by its wisdom and sta-
bility, the popular element, which partook too much of
popular passion, out of door:. In spite of these great
disadvantages, Washington, by means of the upper
chamber, was enable•l at length to conclude a treaty of
pe:ce and amity with Great Britain. On those grounds
ho hoped thr, whatever the Committee might be dis-

The last portion of pardoned insurgents from Brest,
SS in number, arrived yesterday morning in Paris by
the llavre Railway.
M. Lacollonge, late editor of the Organization du
Travail, who was sentenced to imprisonment for 20
years by court-martial fir having taken part in the
insurrection of June, 184 S, was sentenced yesterday,
by the Assize Court of Paris to an additional impri-
sonment for one veer for having attempted to escape
from prison. M. Cournet, a :naval officer on
half-pay, was sentenced to a similar imprison-
ment for having supplied Lacollonge with the means
of escape, and M. Debein?, who likewise aided, was
sentenced to imprisonment for six months. A grand
review by the President of the Retiublic is to take
place in the Bois de Boulogne on Easter Monday.
All the infantry quartered in Paris and in the forts
adjacent, including the 19th Regiment of the Line,
lately arrived from Rome, are to be on the ground.
accompanied by the cavalry, consisting of one regi-
ment of Carabineers and several regiments of Lancers
and Dragoons.
M. A. Thouret has presented a 'proposition to the
Assembly, the object of which is the foundation of a
Caisse Nationale de Secours ct de Retraite, in favour
of the firemen who fall victims to their devotedness in
cases of fire. He proposes to procure the money ne-
cessary for this fund from the fire insurance com-
panies and from the proprietors of houses not insured.
The annual donation is to be 400,000 f. for the 80,000
firemen presumed to exist in France.
The Assembly yesterday adopted, without any de-
bate, the following resolution :
" The National Assembly declares that there is no
motive to authorise the judiciary proceedings required
by the Attorney-General of the Court of Appeal of
Paris against M. Michel (de Bourges), representative of
the people, on account of a speech delivered by him on
She Ist of March, in the electoral reunion of Mont-
martre."
