TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 13, 1850.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The PRESIDENT of the Republic left Paris yesterday
morning by the Lyons Railway for his proposed
tour through the Southern and Eastern Departments.
He is accompanied by General D'HaurrouL, the Mi-
nister at War, by Colonel VAUDREY, his aide-de-
camp, Colonels EDGAR NEY and DE BEVILLE, his
orderly officers, AL MOCQUART, his chef de Cabinet,
and by the Ministers of Public Works and Cum.,
merce. He was to make his first halt at Tonnbre.
The Cabinet has determined that three of the Minis-
ters, at least, shall remain in Paris during the vaca-
tion, and that the Vice-President, M. BOULAY DE LA
MEURTIIE, shall not quit Paris during the absence of
the PRESIDENT.

The chief of the secret society, the Nemesis, has
been arrested ; his name is HERICI.

M. TESTS, who was Minister of !Public Works in
the GUIZOT linistry, and who for accepting bribes
was sentenced by the Chamber of Peers in the time
of Louis PHILIPPE to three years' imprisonment,
was set at liberty on Sunday, having undergone his
sentence.

The Univers, the journal Gf MM. DE MONTALEM-
BEET and DE FALLoux, and the organ of the Jesuits,
still continues its batches of miracles, but it now
varies them by working miracles of vengeance ; for
instance, it relates the story of a man who, for eating
meat on Saturday, the 13th July, 1850, contrary to
the ordinances of the Church, " fell from a tree,"
we quote the words of the pious print, " and that so
violently, that it upplared as though an invisible
hand had knocked him down and precipitated him to
the ground. Contrary to what happens ordinarily
in cases of a fay from even a great height, his body
burst in the middle, crepuit medius, and his entrails
were scattered about. His corpse exhaled immedi-
ately such a horrible stench, that the houses in the
neighbourhood, and those to which it was subse-
quently transported, became all of them infected."
Such is a specimen of the rhodomontade with which
the Montalemberts and the De Falloux would in-
doctrinate the youth of France by their new educa-
tional scheme, to the exclusion of sound learning and
useful knowledge. As to the manner in which his-
tory is taught in the schools under Jesuit superinten-
dence, our readers may form some idea from the fol-
lowing passage which occurs in the Univers in the
course of a review of M. BOUILLET's Historical Dic-
tionary :—" We cannot repeat too often," says the
ultramontane organ, " that in an educational work to
speak of the Catholic religion, or to relate its history,
without declaring openly in its favour, is to be hostile
to it."

Accounts from Burgundy have been received of
the occurrence of a dreadful hurricane which has
seriously damaged the vineyards, and has in many
places destroyed the entire crop.
The Legitamatisti are gathering around the Comte
DE CHAMBORD at Wiesbaden. A letter from that
place says :
" Allow me to rectify some assertions of your Paris
journals, and to give 3 .)u some information on the meet-
ing which is to take place here. You are aware, no
doubt, that M. Guizot will not come here. On learning
that his presence at Ems would lead to the idea that he
intended visiting the Count da Chatnbor:l, he hastened
to return to Fr.inse. His visit to Ems was to they
Princess Lieven, with whom he has been long intimate.
Wiesbaden already resembles a little Coblentz. The
Count de Chambord has engaged the Hotel des geatre-
Asissons. M. de Barande, his old sub-goveruor, has
arrived at the Hotel de Nassau, as have Baron
Dudon, the Prince do Chalais, Viscount Walsh, the
Marquis de Choiseul, M. de Brisac, &c. Oa Thursday
evening the Count de Chambord will be joined at Cologne
by MM. Berryer and Si. Prier.t, and, it is said, by two
personages of the old Government. It is in that con-
ference that will be dedidtd what policy shall be fol-
lowed at Wiesbaden. The choice of MM. de Ferte and
de la Ferronnayes, sent for by the Count de Chambord,
is not approved of. The fact is, the son-in law of M.
Mole has out little sympathy for .Legitimetst opinions;
and M. de la Ferronnayes is the expression of the
opinion of the Lae club of the Rue de Poitiers, the dis-
solution of which .is now doubly fixed by the rupture of
the Right with the Illessager de la Semaine. It was said
that M. de Falloux was to be invited by the Count
de Chambord, but be declined the honour on the
plea of delicate health. That is, however, only
a measure of prudence, f.e. he desires to re-
sere° himself for all events. But he will have
this year, as he had last at Ems (although Minister of
the Republic), an alter-ego. The young Right, it is said,
is to claim, if not a direction, at least an approbation
of its Parliamentary conduct, to emancipate itself from
the direction of M. Berryer, which will explain to you
the articles published in the Union on the chief of the
Right. MM. Favreau,. Dufougerais, and de Larocheja-
quelin, who, in the different meetings of the Council of
State, opposed the policy called conciliation, are also, it
is said, to come. You are aware that M. Favreau was
one of the editors of the Gazette de France, when that
journal attacked the Moderatism of M. Berryer. M.
Dufougerais forgetting, without doubt, his resignation
to the Ere Republicaine in 1848, has broken a lance
several times with the chief of the Right. As to M.
de Larochejaquelin, his opposition to M. Berryer has
seen long known to every one. From all this you may
form an idea of the agreement which will reign at
Wiesbaden."

GERMANY,
An article in the Reform of Berlin, of the 9th,
declares that Prussia never will consent to a revival of
the old Diet. The article in this semi-official journal
concludes in these words :
" The reestablishment of the old Diet, whether as a
plenum or engeren council, is a political impossibility.
Its one-sided convocation by Austria is an illegal en-
croachment. All resolutions adopted by it will be legally
void. All attempts to put them into force, as hinted at
by Austrian journals, will be breaches of the peace of
the land, against which Prussia and her allies will know
how to defend themselves."
The report that Bavaria intended to separate from
the Zollverein has been officially contradicted.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Accounts from Ilamburgh of the 10th state that
some severo skirmishing took place the day before,
which ended in the Danes taking possession of
Frederickstadt ; this had evidently been the object of
the movement.

ITALY.
It appears that the scandal of refusing the viaticum.
to the Count of SANTA ROSA on account of his support
of the Siccardi law in the Chamber of Deputies and
in the Cabinet, originated in the express orders of
FRANZONI, the turbulent Archbishop of Turin, who
has been arrested by order of the Government, and
committed to the fortress of Fenestrelles. FRANZONI
says he acted in obedience to orders from the POPE.
Now, seeing that this Siocardi law merely made eccle-
siastics accused of crimes amenable to the civil tribu-
nals, in common with other Piedmontese subjects, it
would be well that Austria and France should look
to their concordat 4, and consider whether they will
support in R omea power which thus seeks to encroach
upon the civil rights of every state in which it can
obtain a footing.

under the circumstances in which the Orion was placed, has
been taken taken in Glasgow. The Procurator-Fiscal has
been engaged six weeks in this work, during which almost
all the steam-boat captains and mates navigating the Clyde
have been examined, with the view of fixing where the cul-
pability really lay. A beautiful model of the Orion has been
made in Greenock, and will be used at the trial, on which
the most eminent men, on both sides, of the Scottish bar
will be engaged. The officers are out on bail. It is barely
possible the trial may be delayed a day on account of her
Majesty's expected arrival in Edinburgh on the 29th.

lately gave his certificate of facts, and which was to dispute
the right of the official manager under the Act to charge the
directors of this company, to account for the expenditure of

charge, as originally brought in, will be proceeded with.
REDUCTION OF FARES CONSEQUENT ON THE OPEN-
ING OF THE GREAT NOETHERN RAlLWAY.—Simultaneously
with the opening of the Great Northern Railway, the East-
ern Counties reduced their fares between London and St.
Ives and Peterborough; and the London and North-Western
by day ticket on their 'Northampton and Peterborough line.
The Midland Company also assimilated their fares to those
of the Great Northern.
The thriving town of Seaham harbour was all
bustle and animation on Saturday last, in consequence of the
arrival of its noble founder, the Marquis of Londonderry, ac-
companied by the Marchioness and other members of the
family of Seaham Hall. His Lordship, in company with his
di;ents and ofh,r gentkinen, vi-iced the duels, and expressed
his gratification at the progressive increase in the trade of
the port, manifested by the large number of vessels (upwards
of 100)

Which were then lying ready to receive their cargoes.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL. NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,0001 bales, of which 1,500 American, 200
Bahia, and 300 Surat were taken for export, and 800
American and 500 Surat on speculation. The market
was tame, but closed very firmly. The sales comprised
6,000 American, 300 Pernam and Maranham, at 8-Id. to
BP.; 500 Bahia, at Bid. to Bd.; 200 Egyptian at 81d.
to 94d.; and 1,000 Surat at 51d. to 6d. per lb.—The
Share Market was dull and heavy, and prices had a
downward tendency.
The steamer America. from the United States, brings
advices of August 2 from New York. Cotton was
heavy and Flour dull, and it is important to note that
the advices respecting the Cotton crop are much more
favourable. Freights ruled low. The exchange on Lon-
don was 110/ to 1101.
The following is an account, drawn up by a party
who had inspected some of the American manufactories.
He states:—
" We next visited Winter's Palace-mills. This is a
large brick edifice, of six stories, occupied by a machine-
shop, four runs of mill-stones, two for wheat, and two
for corn, with all the necessary flouring apparatus, capa-
ble of turning out from 80 to 100 brls. of flour per day.
The entire cost was stated to be some 50,000, dollars.
Ten thousand bushels of wheat had recently been pur-
chased in Baltimore, and was being made into flour at
this mill.
" Near this mill is one which is rightly termed
Variety Works,' saving timber, planing, making tubs,
pails, bedsteads, window-blinds, rashes, lac. &c., all by
machinery adapted to these purposes. It is doubtless
one of the most profitable establishments in Columbus.
" These several establishments are situated on the east
bank of the river, and are propelled by water, taken from
the great conduit, which has been constructed of
stone, to receive and retain the water of the Chattahoo-
chee river at a sufficient elevation to afford the
necessary power. The head of water thus furnished is
from 10 to 14 feet. This conduit is calculated fur sup-
plying the power_ for many other manufactories.
" There are two iron foundries in Columbus, which
turn out a large amount of castings and machinery for
mills, steamboats, &c. They-employ a steam-engine.
" The City' Mills—ln the upper part of Columbus is a
large wood structure, occupied by four' sets of millstones,
two for flour and two for corn, and ektenOve flouring
works.
" On the river above the city are several establishments
which we had not the pleasure of visiting; among
them the Rock Island Paper Manufacturing
Company capital employed, 40,000 dollars, to
be increased to 45,000 dollars to complete the
machinery. They now manufacture I,ooolbs. when the
machinery is comp] eted. Cost of rags and ether ma-
terials from Ito 31 cents per lb. Price of paper from
10 to 121 cents per lb. Employ 7 girls, 2 boys, la
men, and 1 teamster. Wages—girls, 8 dolls. per month;
foreman, 100 dolls.; machinist,t 60 dolls.; two opera-
tives, 40 dolls. each.
" In all cases where we have given the wages, the par-
ties employed board and lodge themselves."
The Amsterdam Stock market, on the lOth instant,
was less firm. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. had
been 571.
Accounts from the Baltic ports state that a good deal
of rain hid fallen there, but subsequently the weather
became finer.
Tho state of the farming interest is occupying con-
sidereblo attention, and a pamphlet has been published
entitled "Agricultural Distress; its Cause and Remedy;
with a Preliminary Inquiry concerning the Civil Law
of the Freedom of Private Enterprise," Mr. Charles
Forster Cotterill being the author. The whole
question seems to be carefully and elaborately
treated, and we tray say this much, even if wo differ
from him in some of his corclusions and suggestions.
fhe writer, arriving at the " gist" of his argument,
affirms that " the real remedy can only be found in
storing up in years of plenty that surplus which a
bountiful Providence furnishes as a provision against
years of scarcity. Our ancestors, in this resp:ct,
vv,2re wiser then ourselves, and the ancient Lord
Mayors of London furnish examples for modern
dines. The public granaries should be established not
in the populous cities, the seats of consumption, but in
the rural districts, the seats of production. There should
be no state granaries in London and Liverpool, but in
the counties of Northampton, Lincoln, Norfolk, &c.,
which are specially producing rather than consuming
Counties. With regard to the mode, quantity, or time
of storing, that must be determined by circumstances sub-
sequently to be decided. The first duty of the Board would
he the collection of statistical facts; and these would
furnish the groundwork for subsequent operations. We
have before eetitnatecl the quantity of wheat consumed
its the United Kintdom, during an average season, at
20,000,000 quarters. But population is increasing at an
average of about 400,000 persons per annum; and that
quantity, therefore, in a few years, is likely to be ex-
ceeded.'
The author then touches upon the value of agricultu-
ral statistics, and very important these undoubtedly are.
Certainly no one can dissent from the allegation of their
necessity and advantages.
There is a flat market again for Public Securities, and
the transactions are again extremely limited. Consols
have been 661 for Transfer, and 961 fur September.
Bank Stock is firm at 211 to 212. Exchequer-bills have
realised 665. to 695., and India Bonds 87s. to 903. pre-
mium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have
bee, marked 981 The state of the account acts on the
market.
Foreign Securities have been quite neglected. Spanish
Five per Cents. are about 171. Mexican Bonds have
been 294 -I, and Grenada 18 4. Buenos Ayres have
been at 581, Russian Bonds are 96ii 4, and Dutch Four

Railway Shares are in some instances rather heavy.

MELTING DOWN OLD Inori.---On Monday after-
noon a singnlar accident occurred at the iron foundry of
Messrs. Knight and Cumming, Maidstone. A bombshell
had been purchased amongst the old iron, which exploded in
one of the furnaces, blowing down about two feet of the
lining in the vicinity of the blast pipe. The explosion ap-
pears to have resulted from the expansion of the inclosed air,
the bomb being plugged. Had it been loaded with the usual
explosive material it would probably have destroyed the
bnilding. Kent Herald.

HERRING FISHING.—The fishing along the coast is
by no means up to the average mark of former years, and the
markets continue dull.—Aterdcen Herald.

The Central Gas Consumers' Company have offered
a reward of 50/. for the apprehension of a miscreant who had
removed some of the bolts of the principal rafters of the
iron roof of the works last Wednesday night.
FALLING DOWN A COAL-PIT.--Thursday afternoon,
a shocking accident—one, perhaps, without a parallel in
character, occurred at one of the pits of Mr. Wilson's col.
liery, Dalmarnock. James M'Bride, a person charged with
the " overlooking "of the relay hands, was stationed at the
entrance to the pit, with one or two fellow-workmen
To amuse them he commenced the performance of some gym-
nastic feats close to the brink. Suddenly he overbalanced
himself, and. to the dismay of the onlookers, rolled over, and
was precipitated down the shaft, a distance of 30 fathoms.
It is
extinc needless to say that when the body was got out life
