LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1850,

A second anniversary of the Prince Louis NAPO..
LEON'S election, on the 10th of December, as Presi-
dent of the French Republic, was happily celebrated
on Tuesday. In the Hotel de Ville—that palatial
edifice which is associated with so many revolutionary
and constitutional occurrences, with the deliberations
of the Terrorist Triumvirate, and with those me-
morable councils of February which reposed the des-
tinies of the country, at a crisis of unparalleled peril,
in the hands of the Provisional Government—the
municipal authorities of Paris assembled together for
the purpose of offering the homage of their sympa-
thies and of their gratitude to the elected chief ma-
gistrate of a democracy, himself the son of a King, and
the nephew of an imperor. The occasion was one in
every respect gratifying to the illustrious personage in
whose honour the flee was given, affording as it did
the assurance that his power as Republican President
bad been well employed in the estimation of the com-
munity by whose free and spontaneous suffrages he
had been elevated to:that supreme dignity. It was a
testimony of respect for his integrity, of confidence in
bis prudence, of admiration for his abilities, of affec-
tion for himself personally, and of veneration for his
sigh and responsible position. When it is considered
that the Paizvcs ascended the magisterial chair at a
period of incomparable difficulty, that he did
so in the midst of curling lips and shrugging
shoulders, that his talents were gainsayed,
and his character pronounced to be that of
a half crazy adventurer, that he was re-
garded by some as a madman and by others as a fool,
the puppet of circumstances, and the catspaw of a
conspiracy—and when it is remembered, that in spite
of all this he has miintained himself in the rank of
President, with no diminution to his popularity or his
independence, it must assuredly be confessed that he
bad ample cause for satisfaction at the approach of
this second anniversary of the 10th of December.
Those who were deputed to express to him the
I.l.?Eitiuteuts entertained in his regard by the French

:L_

multitude, gave utterance to ideas somewhat of this
very description—expatiating upon the mingled pride
and satisfaction with which the people reviewed the past
conduct of their chief magistrate. They availed
themselves of the opportunity more especially for the
purpose of commenting upon the circumstance, that
during the period of his two years' administration the
Republic had enjoyed uninterrupted peace and a per-
petually increasing public prosperity. While many
temptations were held out to the PRINCE, as the repre-
sentative of a warlike dynasty, as the represen-
tative of the imperial house founded by the
greatest warrior of modern times, to enhance
his influence and extend his popularity, by
plunging into the chances of battle and
of winning not only the spurs of knighthood, but the
diadem of Emperor at the point of the sword, he has
unceasingly directed his energies to the maintenance
of tranquillity, preferring the sober merit of pacific
achievements to the melodramatic glory of conquest,
or the renown of territorial spoliation. Instead of
gaining victories in the field, LOUIS NAPOLEON has
been var quisbing the enemies of the Republic by de-
liberations in the closet, employing as the defences of
democracy efficial decrees and political ordinances,
rather than the blade of the bayonet
or the missiles of artillery. In lieu of
gratifying his ambition by taking cities or storming
fortifications, he has been contented with reviewing
the troops, with surveying the progress of maritime
development, and with presiding personally at the
inauguration of railroads. Not only have his endea-
vours been sedulously directed to the encouragement
of internal enterprise throughout the country at
large, but they have likewise been directed to the
decoration of the capital, and to the improvement
of its principal thoroughfares. This, moreover, has
been done, be it remembered, at the very time
when the mind of the PRESIDENT might have
been presumed to be wholly engrossed and pre-
occupied with the direction of the general affairs of
the Government. The circumstance was particularly
commented upon by the Prefect of the t3eine, when
proposing, at the banquet of Tuesday, a toast to the
health of the Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON. " This
city,' said he, addressing himself directly to the
PRESIDENT of the Republic, " this city is the con-
stant object of your solicitude, and the sentiment of
this solicitude, so precious for her, is with you a dy-
nastic heritage. The immortal author of the name
which you bear so well has left in our streets many
imperishable remembrances. Streets, squares, monu-
ments, all bear the imprint of his creative genius, and
even in the works now being executed may be recognised
the fruitful thoughts of NAPoLsorr. The Rue de
itivoli is following the line which he traced out, and
already we may see the day when the new approaches
of the Hotel de Ville will bear that glorious name.
The Halles, the Louvre of the people, as the EM-
PEROR called them, are on _ our part the ob-
ject of serious studies, which are animated by your
sympathetic encouragement. Thus already your Go-
vernment has its page honourably inscribed on the
tablets of our Parisian history. Streets, boulevards,
new particrs open themselves in the bosom of the
capital ; and at the same time that art is erecting
splendid palaces to the novel industry of railway
enterprise, three hundred houses fall under the
hammer of demolition, ruins fruitful in employmen
for the workmen, ruins happy for the embellishmen

and salubrity of the metropolis." Responding to
these generous but deserved eulogiums, the PRINCE
called forth the enthusiasm of his auditors yet more
loudly byreminding them that his influence was contem-

poraneous with the revival of peace and the re-ap-
pearance of prosperity, with the re-organization ci
the social fabric, and the re-establishment of consti-
tutional tranquillity. "To what," he exclaimed.

" do we owe the circumstance of hating sub
stituted order for disorder, hope for discou.

nigement ? It is not because a t once the
son and the nephew of a soldier, I myself have
replaced another soldier, but because on the 10th of

---
December, for the first time since February,
the chief power emerged from the exercise of

a legitimate right, and not from an act merely
revolutionary " The salvos of applause which

greeted this reminiscence of his election af-
forded a sufficient evidence to the PRESIDENT that

his advancement to the rank of chief magistrate is
looked back to as the starting point of a Legiti-
matised Democracy, as the dawn of constitutional

hope upon Republicanism after the storms and

darkness of Revolution. The reflection cannot fail
to yiald him encouragrment in the fulfilment of his

arduous responsibilities : and, sustained by it, the
PRINCE may, with the permission of DrriNE PRoiri-

DENCE, pass with as much success through the two
liwt, as he has already done through the two firs t,

years of his brilliant and memorable Presidency,

The recent Transatlantic intelligence under the
date of New York, November 26th, informs us that
" the arrival of gold from California continued to be
regular, and that the receipts of the week had been
2,000,000 dollars," or in other words 400,0001.
sterling. In order to estimate the real productiveness
of the " diggins," it must ha borne in mind that the
above enormous sum represents but a small portion
of the gold actually collected, what had been sent to
one pert alone, without taking into account the sums
transmitted to Australia, to China, to England, or to
any of the nations of Europe. It did not include
the sums brought by passengers, who, having realised
fortunes, were hastening to enjoy the fruits of their
good luck ere the precious metal became depreciated
in distant countries, as it has already become in the
neighbourhood of San Francisco. Nor did it infringe
upon the large and continually increasing amount re-
tained in the country itself for the purpose of an in-
ternal currency. It cannot be supposed that from
4'0,000 to 100,000 persons, procuring and bringing to
light from half an ounce to an ounce of gold each per
diem on an average, and living pretty nearly up to the
smaller amount, would send away their gains without
retaining a large proportion for their own use to fall
back upon in the event of any failure of the supplies,
or their being debarred from further search by the
interference either of Indians or of the American Go-
vernment, which, now that California has been firm-
ally admitted into the Union, may probably adopt
some energetic measures to secure a monopoly of
" treasure hunting" to those who owe allegiance to
" the stars and stripes." The weekly importation
of 400,0001. to New York is therefore but a small
part—certainly not a moiety—of the sums actually
realised, and yet it is equivalent to 20,800,0001. per
annum, or rather more than four times the amount
yielded at any former time by all the mines through-
out the entire globe, or which, according to the
views of the bullionists, can be required to provide for
the wear and tear of the precious metals and the in.
creasing population of the world. It requires no ex-
traordinary powers of vaticination to perceive what
must be the inevitable results of this enormous addi-
tion to the stock of bullion. Although many years
must elapse before the natural consequences of the
change can be fully developed (it took more than half
a century after the discoveries in Peru and Mexico
before the great depreciation in the value of coin was
apparent), its effects are already becoming perceptible,
and they must become more palpable in every suc-
cessive year.
The great and sudden " appreciation" in the value
of silver, and the increased demand for it in every
market, are the first symptoms of the change. The
relative proportions of the precious metals have been
altered, and as the quantity of gold increases, and the
amount of labour required for its production is re-
duced, so must its value diminish; and there must be
a continued depreciation so long as the existing causes

California, the addition of 10,000,000/. to the former
stock of 330,000,0001. should produce, as nearly as
possible, a diminution in its value of 3 per cent., and
this is as nearly as possible the amount of the change.
Silver having improved from 59id. to 61-1-d.
according to the Times' calculation, there NAM be a
further addition of 10,000,0001. sterling in gold in
each and every year ; this must in like manner pro-
duce a further decrease in the value of gold, or in-
crease in the value of silver (the terms are nearly
convertible) of three per cent. per annum. This will
lead to " depreciation," with a vengeance. How
will " the integrity of the standard," for which the
nation has sustained so many serious trials, he pre-
served ? what will speedily be the state of our foreign
exchanges with nations that continue to preserve the
silver currency, when their circulating medium is
increasing and ours deteriorating in value day after
day ? These are interrogatories requiring distinct and
categorical answers. The consideration cannot he evaded
orpostpon ed. The imperative necessity of a speedy settle
rnent of the currency question is rendered more
manifest than ever. The moeeyocracy will at
length begin to perceive its propriety. But if they
desire that these interests should be at all regarded,
they must seize the golden opportunity that still re-
mains. An equitable arrangement is still practicable.
If it be long delayed they will be the chief sufferers.
The industrious classes will not forget how strenu-
ously they have insisted upon the letter of their
contract, in total disregard of its spirit. They have
demanded their " pound of flesh"—perhaps they may
speedily be required to accept it, being at the same
time reminded that they cannot take with it a single
" drop of blood." They will receive their 5 dwts.
3 grs. of gold, without anylregard to its purchasing
power or command over the necessaries or comforts
of life.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
GRAND NATIONAL CONCERTS.
Mr. Howard Glover's Hero and Leander is be-
coming more and more popular every evening. The
selections last night were much applauded. We are,
on re-hearing them, confirmed in our formerly ex-
pressed opinion, that the ballad sung by Mdlle. Angri,
and the unaccompanied quartette, are the gems of the
opera. Miss Julia Bleaden, a young lady of whose
vocal talents we have had occasion before now
to make favourable mention, appeared at
these concerts last evening, and sang the soprano solo
in the final concerted piece, in the place of Mrs.
Alexander Newton, who was absent. She sang it
with great taste, care, and correctness, and fully con-
firmed the favourable impression which her perform-
ances at the Princess's, last season, had created. In
the miscellaneous part Miss Poole sang a new comic
ballad, by Stephen Glover, entitled' The Cavalier,"
and was deservedly encored.

BAL MASQUE AT DRURY-LANE.
By way of proving in the plainest way the popu-
larity of his bal masque, M. JULLIEN has this year
ventured upon two. Last night he concluded his
brief season, as some time since he had commenced
it, with one of these entertainments. The theatre
was decorated as usual ; the crystal curtain shone
and glittered in all its usual splendour ; Jullian
himself was there in all his inimitable effulgence ;
the boxes were crowded with spectators, and the salle
was full of what is called the "motley throng," who
went through the usual dances to some of the best
music of the kind that can be had in any, even in the
most masquerade-loving. country. The whole affair
went as well as usual, and when we left the noisy
scene, there seemed to be no abatement of the mirth,
which momently grew more fast and furious, but, as
usual at M. Jullien's masquerades, with a regulated
licence.

AFRICAN EXPLORING EXPEDITION.
We have received intelligence from the Saharan
African expedition up to the 29th of August last.
The expedition had literally fought its way up to
Selonfeet in Aheer, near to the territory of the
Kailouee Prince, En-Hour, to whom it is re-
commended.

Mr. Richardson had been obliged to ran3orn his
life and those of his fellow-travellers twice. The
whole population of the northern districts of Aheei
had been raised against the expedition, joined by all
the bandits and robbers who infest that region of the
Sahara.
The travellers are now in comparative security. It
has been a tremendous undertaking for them to force
their way against tribes who had never seen the face
of a Christian, and, who look upon Christians as the
declared enemies of God.

The great Soudan route, from Ghat to Aheer, is
now explored,

MU. BENNETI"S RESIGNATION.
()Bolt A •ORRECPONDF;NT
Yesterday morning, so soon as the news of Mr. Ben-
nett's resignation of his incumbency because known,
great anxiety prevailed amongst the members of his
congregation, from whom, it appears, the decisive step
the reverend gentleman has taken was kept a profound
secret. From statements which were collected on the
spot, it appears that not only will Mr. Bennett leave
Knightsbvidge, but that the Rev. Sir Frederick Ouseley,
the Rea-. George Nugce, the Rev. G. F. De Gex, end
the Rev. Mr. Fife all tendered their resignations imme-
diately Mr. Bennetee decision was announced. It seems
that none of the reverend gentlemen intend going over
to the Church of Rome; and many of the most iniuential
members of the congregation are desirous of setting
on foot a fund for the establishment of a church in
which they may indulge their own peculiarities in the
performance of public worship, without governmental or
episcopal interference, and which may be the form-
dation of a "Free Anglican Church," in which discon-
tented Tractarians may find refuge, instead of going
over to the Church of Rome. It was also stated that
the Bishop of London intends conferring the incum
bency of St. Paul's Knightsbridge upon the Rev. Wil-
liam Gilson Humphry, Fellow of Trinity College,
Cambridge, his Lordship's examining chaplain; and that
the incumbency of St. Barnabas will be given to another
clergyman of the dioctle. It is understood that ar-
rangements have been made by the archdeacon for the
performance of the ordinary services until the appoint.
ment of the new incumbent is duly ratified.—Adverkser.

FIRE IN SOUTHWARK AND MIRACULOUS EECAPE
•f FITE PE.l4lo:lS.—This (Friday) morning, shortly after
seven o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises belonging to
Mr. Biddle, No. 62, Great Suffolk. street, Southwark. The
names «ken first perceived were raging in the lower part of
the house; at which time the inmates, consisting of two
women and three children, were in their beds at rest. The
whole of the parties were after some trouble aroused, but
Not before the flames had gained the stairs, thereby cutting
off all chalice of escape by the regular means. A man named
Parser, who was passing, perceived a horse and cart moving
down the street. He immediately had the vehicle drawn on
to the pavement, and placed under the window of the burn-
ing house, and by mounting the cart he was enabled to
rescue the whole of the inmates. One cf the females, how-
ever, was much hurt by her head striking the wall as she
descended. The engines of the London Brigade and West
of England office quickly attended, but they were unable to
get the fireextingui.hed until it had extended into every part
of the budding. The origin of the fire is unknown. Un-
fortunately the sufferers were not insured.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT THE " BAL MASQUE."
—This morning, about four o'clock, a respectably dressed
man, unknown, was conveyed to King's College hospital
by four officers of the F division of police, who, it appeared
was knocked down and run over by a furiously driven cab
near Drury-lane Theatre. One of the constables, notwith-
standing the confusion that prevailed, was enabled to pro-
cure the number of the vehicle and description of the driver.
FATAL SAUSAGE MACHINE ACClDENT.—Yester-
day Mr. H. M.Wakleyheld an invest in the Middlesex Hos-
pital, on William Hewett, aged 20. Deceased was in the
employ of his uncle, a sausage-maker in High-street, Port-
land. town, and while feeding with meat the sausage•chop-
ping machine, his arm was caught by the wheel, and before
he could be released three of his fingers and his thumb were
cut off. The veins of his wrist were also dreadfully lacerated.
He was instantly conveyed to the hospital, where he died
from those injuries. Verdict, " Accidental death."
MORE EXPECTED RESIGNATIONS.—We have good
reason to believe that, betore many days have elapsed, we
shall hear of more Tractarian resignations. Among those
Puseyite clergymen who are expected forthwith to send in
their resignation, in order t• anticipate their dismissal, may
be mentioned the names of the Rev. Mr. Dodsworth, of Tri-
nity- Church, Albany-street, Regent's-park; the her. Mr.
Richards, of Margaret-street Chapel; and the Rev. Mr.
Murray, of Wells-street Church. We believe, however, that
the livings of this Tractarian triumvirate are not, taken
together, equal in value to the single living which Mr. Ben-
nett has resigned. We have heard the latter rev. gentle-
man's income stated to he, in one shape or other, about
1,5001. a year, though only given in the clerical returns at
LOU—Advertiser.

MARRIAGES ON SUNDAY.—The American court has
decided that marriage contracts made on a Sunday are valid,
on the ground that they come under the head of " works of
necessity and mercy."
TLIE Hoc BATIL—The hot baths,' directly and in
a very limited time, raise the temperature of the body, in-
crease the circulation, cause a general glow over the surface,
and ultimately induce profuse perspiration". The temperature
should be moderate upon entering the bath, and afterwards
gradually raised. Upon the incipient symtoms of cold pre-
senting themselves, a timely evening warm Lath has fre-
quently banished the threatening enemy. It is emphatically
" the friend of UPI rheumatic," and gives relief when all
other means deny it. No bath is more eminently cleansing
than the warm bath of 9G degrees. It relaxes the whole
cutaneous surface, and thoroughly purifies the body. The
delights thus experienced are not easily described ; but when
they are felt, not merely at the time, but for days after, more
could not be said in their praise. Every one with any regard
for a sound body, and desirous of bodily sensations ever
agreeable, will freely partake of this luxury.

mind that has been the fluctuation of a few weeks
only, and it is about what the ascertainal arrivals Of
gold from California up to this period would most
probably occasion. In order to avoid any controversy
on the premises, we shall take our data from the great
organ of the rnoneyocracy, the Times, whose asser.
tions will not be diputcd by any bullionist.
The Times then has recently estimated th 9 amount
of gold received from California at 10,000,000/.
sterling, and it has further declared that it
sees little
reason to doubt that a similar sum will be obtained
each year from that country. It also states the
metallic currency of the world at 330,000,0001.
sterling. As we may. suppose .that the ordinary sup-

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 13, 1850.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The report of M. DE MONTALEMBERT on the Sab-
bath Bill is the subject of comment in all of them.
The wily Jesuit has for once over-reached him-
self, and has excited the disgust of every sensible and
educated person of every party • under pretence of a
Bill for the better observance of the Sabbath, M. DE
MONTALEMBERT has proposed a measure prohibiting
all labour on saints' days as well as on Sundays, and
that on the express ground that it is so ordered by
the Church. But in his report on the Bill, the
eulogizer of the Inquisition goes much further. He,
in the following passage, boldly lays down the prin.•
ciple that the State must on all occasions be subser-
vient to the Church. He says—
" Without doubt the State is incortipttent to govern
religion, but not to protect and defend it. The in-
tervention of the State in favour of religion, when it
keeps itself within the limits prescribed by the very
nature of the two powers, spiritual and temporal, is not
only licit and use ful, but necessary. On the part of the
State indifference toeards religion is not neutrality,
it is was.
In another portion of his report he denounces tolera-
tion, speaking of it as
" That liberty of nothing, claimed and conquered by
the modern spirit, under the name of tolerance."
Not only has he disgusted all the liberal party by
this report, which is another overt act of the great
conspiracy for the restoration of obscurantism, but
even the sober and serious Journal des Debuts feels
it necessary to speak of it in such terms as the
following :
" We have read with all the attention of which we
are capable the report of M. do Montalernbert on the
project of law regarding the observance of the Sabbath
and holidays. We have read it with the most sincere
desire to find ourselves in accordance with M. de Mon-
talembert, or, at least not to have to feet ourselves
obliged to mark our dissent, and it will be readily
understood that the violent and insulting in-
terruptions of the Mountain had already predis-
posed our minds in favour of the reporter and his report.
It is with reluctance that we feel ourselves compelled to
take an opposite part ; but having read the report of M.
de Montalembert wecannot restrain ourselves while doing
justice to his upright and pious intentions from expressing
our surprise and our regrets. We have strong objec-
tions to the proposed law itself ; but we have objectioes
infinitely stronger to the report ; for it must be acknow-
ledged that between the Bill and the report the dispro-
portion is strange. The project of law might pass for
a simple act of propriety and religious decency ; the re-
port, on the contrary, looks like the gigantic frontis-
piece of a whole social system differing from that which
it established amongst us, and which has entered deeply
into our mariners."
The attempt of Count MOLE to establish a Conser-
vative Club has failed. He could not bring about a
fusion of Bonapartist*, Orleanists, and Legitimatists.
The Moniteur announces that the Count DE HATS.
FELDT, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary of his Majesty the King of PRUSSIA, has
presented to the PftEsiDENT of the Republic the reply
of the KING to the letters recalling M. PERSIGNY
from Berlin. It also contains a decree of the PREM.-
DENT, promoting M. THEODORE LESSEM, Director of
the Consulate of the Foreign-office, to the rank of
Commander of the Legion of Honour.
.Madame DE FALLOUX, mother of the ex-Minister
of Public Instruction, died on Friday evening last, at
her Chateau of Bourg d'lrsi.
