The SECRETARY (Mr. James C. Melrill) read th
eta.
port of the committee appointed to consider the .0
laws of the company, in which they stated their °root
that the directors had exercised asound discretion
advertising the notice of motion, which had been g1;0,
by a proprietor, for the purpose of petitioning her
jesty to become a governor of the company.

relating to his expulsion from the Zillah and district ,
Madura on the 20th of October, 1826. The Hon• frege
prietor entered at considerable length into the griel'3l3l6
of which he complained, not only in respect to hi° sein

any motion the subject of his dismissal was not discus'
either

Af receiving several notices of motions for the
meeting,
The CHAIRMAN intimated, as there was no further e
business before them, the proceedings of the Court we-
closed.
The Court then adjourned.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, FIVE P.M.—The costae—hi°
public were amazed and horrified to-day by a telegroP
announcement, posted in the Exchange News-r°° of
shortly before four o'clock, announcing the shipwrecso.
the Orion on a reef of rocks off Port Patrick. The -
patch also announced that some lives were saved.
The Orion is a regular packet, running between u,er.
gow and Liverpool. She sailed hence yesterday
noon, and at the present moment it is impossible to rd
certain accurately the exact number of persons on b°1175
The crew numbered between 20 and 30, and about to,
passengers were booked at the office of the ogelle
Messrs. Martin and Co.; bat in addition, a consider-by
number of cabin-passengers are known to have g°o to
the vessel, whose names were not recorded at the alleTtre
offices, while the names of the steerage-passenger. 00
not entered at all. The impression is that at least
souls were on board.

" I have great pleasure in informing you that I had a trial to-day
of the 1%-inch gutta per.;ha tube I had from you in December last,
in presence of a Committee of the Town Council, who were highly
pleased with the experiment, and have resolved to have 4t,0 feet of
the tame for attaching to our fire-plugs for extinguishing fires, and
watering the streets in dry weather. lam of opinion that no mate-
rial is so well fitted for the above purpose as the gutta percha, for
although our pressure is perhaps the greatest in the kingdom, being
upwards of 450 feet, not the slightest effect could be discovered on
the tube or joints, while the same pressure on our leather hose sends
the rivets iu all directions.—l am, your obedient Servant,
" ANDREW ROBERTSON."

" April 10, 1850.

" Gentlemen,—Without reference to the variety of useful and or-
namental purposes to which gutta percha is adapted, I consider it in
a sanitary point of view to be a most fortunate and important dis-
covery. I have already (from a sole regard to the pulolic benefit)
certified my decided approval of it for the under soles of shoes, and I
have on►y to add that I find it equally well applied to walking or dress
shoes and boots by your agents. As the supply of pure water is so es-
sential to health, and leaden pipes and cisterns are so objectionable,
I cannot too highly recommend the gutta percha for tubing and

" Portland-place, Hull, March 28. 1850.

" Gentlemen,—lt is impossible to conceive of anything more in-
jurious and destructive to the health of the community than the use
of leaden pipes for the conveyance of water. Tho poisonous salts of
lead thereby communicated are most insiduous and subtile. I hail
with gratitude the substitution of gutta percha tubing. I have had
the leaden pipe of my own house removed and supplied by jrno of
gutta percha.
" I am, respectfully, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
" J. s,I3.ItRAY, PH. D."

Tn consequence of improved machinery, whereby a continuous
supply of gutty percha is maintained, the Gutta Percha Company are
enabled to supply the tubing in much greater lengths than formerly.

SYNOPSIS ofthe HYGEIAN or MORISONIAN
SYSTEM of MEDICINE.
1. All animal bodies consist of fluids and solids.
2. While in a state of embryo all animals consist entirely of
fluids.
3. It is from and by the fluids that the solids are formed.
4. The fluids contained in the human body are four times the
Weight of the solids.
5. The chief of the fluids is the Wood, from which all the others
are derived.
6. The blood net only repairs every part of the human ma-
chlue, but also carries with it the rubbish or decayed p rts, to be
deposited in the intestines, previous to being expelled along with the
excrement.
7. flie blood is the life—the pritnum mobile—the first agent—from
Which all others derive their origin.
S. Health depends upon the purity of the blood.
9. The purity of the blood depends upon its having free outlets for
Its decayed particles.
10. Disease is induced by the choking up of these outlets in the
bowels, by reason of AR accumulation of glary mucus on the inner
surface of the intestines, &c.
11. This accumulation is occasioned by anything that weakens the
circulation or impairs digestion, but chiefly by the poisonous drugs
and bad treatment of the Faculty.
12. The impurities thus detained in the blood occasion every spe-
cies of disease, according to the quality of the humour, or the parti-
cular locality in which it is lodged.
13. All diseases proceed from one source, therefore they may all be
cured by one medicine
14. This medicine must be a Vegetable Purgative, innoxious in it-
self, vet sufficiently powerful to pervade the whole system, clear
away the abovementiened mucus, and purify the blood.
11b. The discovery of a Vegetable Compound, capable of being di-
tested, and mixing with the blood, so as to impart to It the energy
requisite for ridding the body of all superfluous humours, was a desi-
deratum.
16. This discovery was made by JAMES Moaisorr, the Hygeist,
in the composition of the VEGaTAILE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE, of the
tritisic College of Health, Hamilton-place, New-road, London.

EYEBROWS MUSTACHIOS, and WHISKERS produced in a
few weeks, and Baldness removed and prevented, by the use of
GRIMS TONE'S AROMATIC
REGENERATOR.
if you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human
figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or
of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an 115.
bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential
spirit, drawn ll'om aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her-
bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and
gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too
numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his
pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed.
Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant,
Herbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of
Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the "Times" newspaper, 7th
of August, 1846.
This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two
postage stamps.
The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on
receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Bd., or 11s., which in-
div(es the postage with the case.
The lls. size contains four of the 4s.
A few of its rawly virtues, as thousands eau prove, are published
lu the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age
you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your
walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was
the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re-
moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward,
clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? tell you the cause
—the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff I and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Tatar iet, Nervous Headach, and Deaf-
ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi-
cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67
cases of cure being proved By the informers, still it was an act of
oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq.,
altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of
the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, sq., to
Mr. William Grimstone, bearing de to 18th February, 1525. This was
on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis-
ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of
Government it is obliged to be stamped.

GRAND DINNER TO G. C. GLYN,
ESQ., M.P., AND C. LAWRENCE, ESQ.
Yesterday an elegant banquet was given by the
officers of the London and North-Western Railway
Company, at the Brunswick Hotel, Blackwell, to theii
chairman and vice-chairman. Captain finish was in the
chair; the vice-chairmen were Mr. Henry Booth and Mr.
Chares Edward Stewart. On the right of the chair
were George Carr Glyn, Esq., M.P., the Earl of Lona-
dale, Earl of Powiti, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor,
the Lord Mayor of Dublin, the Mayors of Manchester
and Birmingham; on the left Charles Lawrence, Esq.,
Lord Kinnaird, Sr J. Graham, Bart., M.P., Sir Charles
Douglas, Bart., M.P. (a director of the company), the
Hon. Mr. Howard, Sir Francis Head, the Hon. C.
Howard, M.P., Mr. Cardwell, M.P., Mr. Marsland,
M.P., and among the other gentlemen were Mr. J.
Locke, M.P., the Hon. Mr. PierreponZ Mr. Starling,
Mr. .G. Glyn, Mr. St. Luger Glyn, Errington,
Mr. Binns, Messrs. Barrow, Smith, and Cropper, direc-
tors of the company; and among the officers of the com-
pany were Messrs. Watkin, Saville, Swift, Woodhouse,
North, Parker, Carter, M'Connell, Trevitheck, Rams-
bottom, Poole, Salt, Eberall, Milts, Captain Bruyeres,
and about 100 others, heads of departments and assist-
ants. Mr. Harker officiated as the toastmaster, with
even more than ordinary efficiency. The vocal arrange.
ments, which were very judiciously made, were under
the direction of Mr. Payne, assisted by Master Smith,
Messrs. Young, Shoubridge, Lawler, and Mr. Penniket.
Mr. Brown presided at the piano.
Grace having been sung otr the removal of the cloth,
the usual loyal toasts of her Majesty and Prince Albert,
and the rest of the Royal Family, were drunk with every
enthusiastic demonstration of loyalty.
The CHAIRMAN, in proposing " The Army and Navy,"
reminded the company that the toast, as regarded the
army, was one of a peculiarly interesting character on
that day, and he did not propose it as a mere stock
toast. The hero of hundred fights was, perhaps, at that
very hour proposing as a toast " The Memory of those
who fell at Waterloo."—(Cheers.) He proposed " The
Army and the Navy, and the gallant Heroes of
Waterloo."
Sir FRANCS HEAD.said he had waited for some other
gentleman to return thanks for the army; but as no one
rose he, as a subaltern in the memorable battle which
had been alluded to, returned thanks on behalf of the
army. In the heat of that battle he believed that no
nsan stopped to ask what he was fighting for; but cer-
tainly the general impression in the army testa that they
fought for an honourable peace for the civilised world.
—(Applause.) The, people of this country had enjoyed
thirty-five years of peace since, and he prayed God that
they might long continue to enjoy it.—(Applause.)
Mr. EBERALL returned thanks for the navy,
The CHAIRMAN said he now rose to propose the toast
of the evening.—(Vehement cheering.) He approached
this subject with no little apprehension of his own defi-
ciency, but with not the slightest fear as to the reception
which the company would give it. They were met that
evening to drink the health of two gentlemen who, in
every position of life, had borne, and continued to bear,
a most distinguished character, more especially in re-
ference to that system with which so many who wore
then present were connected, They were met that
evening to pay their tribute of respect, of gratitude, and
of affection to their distiuguished guests. The Hon.
Gentleman, in a speech of great ability, observed that,
in looking back to the past pages of history, he could
find nothing which was like a parallel to the progress and
improvement of railway communication, except that of
the discovery and rapid increase of the art of printing.
Railway enterprise was spreading through the whole
globe. Railway enterprise was seen in the far West—it
had reached the Rocky Mountains—it was spreading
over France and Germany, and it was approaching
the distant jungles of the East. In Europe the same
railway enterprise was about to be applied to
Mount Cenis. The penny postage and the electric
telegraph were equally the offspring of the railway
system; for had not the railway system been in ex-
istence, these great social benefits would never have been
carried out. The Hon. Gentleman's address, which was
of great length, adverted to the fact that this company
employed 10,500 men; and it would have been gratify-
ing to him could he have brought the whole of this body
to express their feelings of affection and respect to the
distinguished guests of the evening. But had he brought
the 10,500 men through Temple-bar, it would require
some modern Xenophon to describe their retreat.
Therefore they hal not met by thousands, but by hun-
dreds.—(Applause.) To the efforts of their guests they
were indebted for the building of churches at the largest
stations—for the establishment of schools, of mechanics'
institutions, of libraries and reading-fooms, of baths, and
of everything calculated to promote the social condition
and well• being of their servants. In conclusion, the
Hon. Gentleman tendered, in the name of the servants of
the company, the respectful homage of their devoted at-
tachment to Mr. Glyn and Mr. Lawrence—(Loud cheers)
—whose healtbs be proposed.
Mr. GLYN arose amidst the most enthusiastic cheer-
ing. Ile thanked the company for the manner in which
the toast of his health, and that of his colleague, had
been proposed. But the fact of the invitation being the
spontaneous act of the officers of the company—totally
unexpected by himself and his colleague, was received
by each of them as the greatest compliment which could
be paid to them—a compliment which was more deeply
felt when they beheld the distinguished company by
whom they were surrounded. Thanks to the energy and
zeal of the officers of the company, the office which he
had held for so many years, and the responsibilities
which attached to that office, had been rendered compa-
ratively easy. Let men reflect that at the commencement
of this mighty undertaking they had to bring the public
into a rigid system—that the public were watching them
—that they had the public press, which was very pro-
perly alive, to keep them in check; but in spite of the
Argus eyes of the press, he believed theie was
not a single case of complaint alleged against the
integrity of this company on record. He did not mean
to say that times had not occurred in which he had spent
many sleepless nights. He remembered the year 1837,
when they were in the height of their works, the diffi-
culty in which the commercial interests were placed at
the time, and the extraordinary claims on those who
were engaged in this undertaking. At that time doubts
were entertained as to their completing their works, and
this matter pressed heavily on his mind; bat the energy
of the proprietors enabled the directors to overcome all
difficulties. But there was another occasion when he felt
intense anxiety, and that was in the year 1848, when
their engine-drivers, incited by bad counsel from thobe
who ought to have known better, did place the pros.
parity of the company in jeopardy. When he pledged
himself in Parliament the; no train should leave Any

station without a suffieient staff, what did the company
do? They did everything they could, but had it not
been for the devotion of every man on their
staff, this grerlt artery cf commerce must have
been closed. The company had never received any ex-
traneous aid—do Government department had ever
helped them—tbey,had received no help from quarters
where they might have looked for different treatment.
A system bad been laid down; by which every man
might have the greatest part of the Sabbath to himself
ss a day of reit, and this bad been the spontaneous
act cf the dire tors, cided by the proprietors. He
whhed this to be generally known, because he hoped
they would not have a legislative enactment which
should prevent them from serving the public in the
very thing he thought they ought to serve them.
The Hon. Gentleman eulogised in eloquent terms the
charieter and efforts of his 6olleague Mr. Lawrence,
and he should al Nays regard it as hie good fortune to
have been tveleiated with so excellent and distinguished
a man.—(Cheers.)
Mr. CHARLES LAwnExctbriefily returned thanks.
Song and chorus—" Auld Lang Syne." •
Mr. GLYN pronotsed "The Earl of Lottedale and the
House of Peers."

The Earl of LOESDALE returned thanks, and alluded
to the Parliamentary struggle iu the case of the Liver-
pc.ol and Manchester Railway, and to his having sat 60
days on that Bill in Committee.
Mr. LAWRENCE gave "Sir James Graham and the
House of Commons."

Sir JAMES GRiIIAM replied in an eloquent and.
humorous speech.
The toasts of " The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, and,
Prosperity to the City of London," was responded to
by the Lord Mayor; " The Right Hon. the Earl of
Powis and the Shropshire' Union Railway," by 'Lord
Powis; .‘ The Right Hon. Lord Kinnard and the Scot-
tish Railways," br Lord Kinnaird; "Edward Cardwell,
E. 1., M.P., and Prosperiti to the Towns of 'Liverpool,
Manchester,and Bifilillghflmi" by Mr, Cardwell); "The
LO-rd Mayor oDublin, the. Mayor of Manchester, the
May6r of Birmingham, and 'the other Guests," by the
Lord Mayor of Dublin; 4' The Board of Directors of
the London •and North-Western Company, and Pros-
perity to the Railway," by Mr. Smith; "The Hon. C.
Howard, 51. P., W. Marshall, Esq.; M.P., and continued
success to the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway," by Mr.
Howard.
The company then separated.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. •
TIMES.—From the silence of Ministers last night we are
to infer that no notice whatever will be taken of their com-
plete defeat on Lord Stanley's resolution. The Cabinet eat
yesterday, we believe, for two hours, and not,' we believe,
without a difference
.of opinion ; yet the decision was to do
nothing. Eveu by the Ministerial estimate, the question had
been perilous and the result formidable. Oa one plea or
another controversy had been deprecated, and that day con-
' tinually postponed. At one time it was improper to disclose
negotiations in progress, at another time it would be mis-
chievous to re-open a quarrel on the point of being happily
concluded. In fact, were the word of the Minister to be
taken, the right time would never arrive, till nothing re-
mained to be done, and the question possessed a merely his-
torical value. When all the arts of delay had been ex-
hausted, Government spared no pains to muster their adher-
ents, and unheard-of means were taken to win over the doubt-
ful. Yet the division was 37 against them-301. peers voting,
and 190 being present. It is impossible to disparage the
tribunal, for the debate itself will show to the whole
world the sort of men that compose the British House of
Peers, and the arguments which have wcn their conviction.
Whatever, too, may be said as to the superior pretensions of
the Lower House in matters of commerce, of finance, or even
of domestic legislation, it will hardly be asserted that on
questions of international law or international comity the
Peers are a less intelligent or less authoritative tribunal than
the Commons. No insufficiency of information, no disfavour
of circumstances can be alleged, for the accused are them-
selves the masters of the evidence. Yet a blow so much
dreaded, so imploringly deprecated, so long averted, and at
last so much exceeding the worst apprehensions, has been
struck —but struck only not to be heeded; so large a part
of human ills is the anticipation of them, and so much
easier is it to bear than to fear. Everything is to go
on as if there had been no judgment, no trial, no House
of Lords at all, and the verdict of the most awful
jury in the world is to be "lived through" like a
frivolous and ephemeral calumny. Under the rather pecu-
liar circumstances of the case it is not for us to prescribe the
particular kind of recognition demanded by this very grave
rebuke ; but whoever advises no recognition at all cannot be
very confident of the principles or the party represented by
her Majesty's present advisers. If they possess the confi-
dence of the people, as we believe they do, they could not
possibly damage their position or create more than a mo-
mentary interruption of public business by resigning their
trust to her Majesty, with the certainty of a renewed appeal,
en her part, to the chief of the great Whig party. It is
plainly impossible that we can have any other than a Liberal
Government. That is our belief, and on that account
we cannot for a moment suppose a Government, based on such
wide and indestructible grounds, to he weakly and precariously
dependent on the humours and caprices of one man. If a
Nome Secretary mismanaged the police, quarrelled with the
magistrates, and egregiously failed to preserve the public
tranquillity, it would never be imagined that he held the key of
the Liberal policy and must be retained. So again, if a
Chancellor of the Exchequer let our finances fall into con-
fusion, and found no means of arresting a continual defi-
ciency. There clearly has been a great national scandal, and
the national character and position have been irrevocably
damaged. The House of Lords has made some amends by
a grave repudiation of the error, and it now rests with the
Government to found some proceeding thereupon. Simply
to ignore a rebuke so just, so well supported, and so uni-
versally approved, as we cannot doubt it will be, may be
easy for the moment, but is far from safe for the future. In
the too probable event of a continual and an aggravated em-
broilment with the great continental Powers, this tem-
perate but vigorous protest by the Peers will give that
body a fund of respect, popularity, and power against
her Majesty's Ministers. They will soon find themselves
in the same ill odour as they were some years ago, and ex-
posed to the same imputation of holding office with unbe-
coming tenacity by accepting defeats rather than by com-
manding success. A permanent breach between Government
and the Upper House cannot, of course, be for the advantage
of either party; indeed the evils are so obvious that it is only
exciting the most painful reminiscences to mention them.
We will aseume that her Majesty's Ministers, themselves a
highly aristocratic body and somewhat dependent on the
aristocracy for assistance against the extreme - that is the
democratical section of their own party—have no wish to
pick a quarrel with the Upper. House, and to debar themselves
from all future success, except such as is won on the dis-
agreeable condition of threatening and bullying the Lords.
Yet we do not see how they are to escape such a quarrel,
unless they recognise, in some way or other, the decision of
Monday night.
DAILY NEWS.—Amongst the many ways by which the
Whig Ministry has provoked its own signal defeat in the
Lords, and consequently in Europe, there is no one more
manifest, and more worthy of remark than the position held
13y the Cabinet towards the Times newspaper. A few addi-
tional
letters relative to the Greek question, distributed yes-
terday, prove beyond a doubt that one of the great, if not the
only, cause of the resentment shown by the French Govern-
ment in the recall of its Ambassador, is to be traced to a
statement made from Athena in the Times, which was totally
without foundation. The Times correspondent announced
from Athens, that Baron Gros had communicated to Mr.
Wyse his having received intelligence from his Government
of the convention of London being, if not signed, at least
in a fair way of signature. Mr. Wyse now moat positively
denies that Baron Gros, although he wrote three notes to
Mr. Wyse immediately after the arrival of the Vau-
ban, ever communicated the; fact of a convention
being in a fair way of signature in London, until
after the whole affair has been concluded. And yet the cor-
respondent of the Times in Athens, when questioned, asserts
that he got the communication which he sent to London
direct from Baron Gros. With Baron Gros, therefore, and
the Times, rest the honour and the responsibility of setting
the Governments of France and England at variance. We
have had frequent communications as to the difficult and
untenable position in which our foreign envoys have been
placed. Whilst they themselves, and the diplomatic cor-
respondence which they present, speak the generally liberal
language of the Foreign-office, the Times, in manifest coin-
munication with and confidence of her Majesty's Ministers,
holds a precisely contrary language; So that in their deal-
ings and negotiations with us, foreign Ministers can and do
point to the Times, as speaking the :opinion of a majority of
the Cabinet, whilst the Ambassadors of her Majesty are set
en
down as speaking but the opinion of a minority in the Admi-
nistration. It is this divided position of the Cabinet, at war
and at
policy and Ministers—it. is
this position of the British Ministry, which has
placed the
country in such difficulties in Athens and in Paris, as well as
organt
that denounces

its itself,
foreign
drawn down the hostile and important remonstrances of
Russia and of Austria. That the French Ministry is at this
moment acting in connivance with the enemies of Lord Pal.
merston in and out of the Cabinet there is no need of proving.
The suspense ofnegotiatione and the letter of General Lahitte
show it. The position of the Times correspondent at Athens
as the organ of the French Envoy, and as the decore of the
Greek Government, as well as the journal itself being made
-
the vehicle of communicating to the British public the offi-
cial documents of the Court of Russia.—all this fully estab-
lishes the relative position of the English Govern
ment,and of the journal, to which the Government so
cowardly truckles, and which Government, together with the
best interests of the nation, ,it openly betrays. As to the re-
sult expected from the vote in the House of Lords on Tues-
day morning, we should in vain look for explanation in the
speeches on either aide of the House. We, however, find it
at once in the columns of the reactionary organ. According
to it, the vote is to " put an end to that estrangement, which
unnaturally divides the policy and interests of England from
policy, to recant all its sym-
pathies or German freedom, and
those of her oldest allies and most faithful friends." In

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Constitutionnel contains the following on the
decision of the Committee on the Dotation Bill :.---
" This decision, notwithstanding its gravity, has not,
if we are correctly informed, produced any very deep
emotion in the head of the state. A new credit, deemed
necessary to the legitimate action and dignity of the
Executive power, had been demanded in the measure,
indicated by experience. The some opinion prevails to-
day which prevailed yesterday on the subject of this
credit. The President of the Republic indicates what
he deems suitable, very indispensable to the elevation of
authority. The Assembly has the right of feeling and
judging differently from himself. If the Bill is not
voted as it had been presented the President of the Re-
public, without renouncing the convictions which expe-
rience has given him, will restrict himself within the
narrow limit of the present allowance, the country re-
maining judge."
This may be regarded as an official declaration of
the intentions of the PRESIDENT. The Dix Deem-
bre, which on Monday changed its name to I.e
Pouvoir, and which is the accredited organ of the
Elysee, declares that the real source of the opposition
to the dotation is the unwillingness of the majority,
composed as it is of Legitatnitists and 0 rleanists, to con-
solidate power in the hands of the only man capable of
wielding it, because they fear that such consolidation
will militate against the chances of a Bourbonist
restoration. That some such motive as this actuates
the majority will appear front the following letter,
addressed by M. CRETON to the Journal des Daats :
"TO TILE EDITOR OF THE DEBATE.

"Paris, June 16.
" The journals of extreme opinions having inter-
preted in the most inexact and unfair manner the motives
which made me decline the honour of being reporter
on the Bill of the 2,400,000 f., I b,•g your insertio❑
of the following explanations, which I think it
my duty to give to my fellow-citizens, As I loudly
declared in my bureau, the proposed Bill appears
to me to have a grave political bearing. If it were
adopted it would inevitably lead to a prorogation of the
powers of the President of the Republic, and latelly to
a solution to which I am instinctively and irrevocably
opposed. That is the motive which has induced me to
oppose the Bill. Animated now, as ever, with senti•
ments of conciliation, and wishing to avoid a disagree-
ment between the Ministers and the Assembly, I pro-
posed an amendment which, if it did not convey all my
idea, would nevertheless protect the moral authority a
the Assembly, an authority in which the safety of the
country resides. I designedly make use of the word
dissidence, because the word antagonism would suppose
an unconstitutional struggle which cannot exist between
the head and the arm. The amendment, the terms of
which are more correct than those which have been
given by the journals, was adopted by a great ma-
jority of the members of the Committee, who do not
belong to the Opposition. The Ministers rejected it
in the most absolute manner. Other attempts were
equally fruitless. It was only given to be understood
that if the Assembly wished to reserve to itself, in
a more or less explicit manner, the right of rejecting the
supplementary credit, in the event of the Government
bringing it forward agai❑ in 1851, that reserve might be
conceded. That in my opinion was a frivolous conces-
sion, and unworthy serious men. The Assembly bad no
occasion to reserve to itself the right of annually examin-
ing the credits; it has the absolute right of rejecting one
year what it had voted the preceding one. It was the
same under the Monarchy. l3ut, in good faith, it is evi-
dent that if the Assembly allowed 3,600,000 f. for the ex-
penses of the Executive power in 1850, no ono would
think of disputing the credit for 1851. The civil list
would be increased, and not diminished. These reasons,
added to a peremptory refusal of any explanation as to the
expenditure, made me declare to my colleagues that,
conciliation becoming impossible, my amendment
appeared to me no longer of any utility; that,
opposed by the Opposition en masse, and by the
purely Ministerial votes, it was probably destined to
fall; that then the Committee would find itself in
presence of a Bill which it had rejected, like the
bureaux, by a considerable majority; that would be
then far better to declare at once for its absolute rejec.
Lion, as candid conduct was always the best to be pur•
sued. This opinion was not agreed to. The Committee
wits in favour of persisting in its legal attempt, without
paying any attention to Parliamentary combinations. I
then declared to my colleagues that, while submitting
myself to their opinion, I could no longer accept the ho-
nour which they had offered me; that, as reporter, I
should have no longer free liberty of speech, and my
wish was to express in the tribune my personal ideas
with full freedom. Such was the real cause of my re-
lusal. I have never drawn back; I am, on the contrary,
in my opinion, too advanced to represent all shades of
the majority. Allow me to add, that when my Hon.
Colleague and Friend, M. Flandin, yielded to our press-
ing entreaties, and accepted the mission of reporter, he
did so on conditions of dignity and lo} ulty which must
loudly defy all malevolence."

" C RETON."
M. CEITON is a leading member of the party which
wishes to have the Prince DE JOIN viLLz chosen Pre
silent of the Republic, in order to prepare the way
for the restoration of the Count DE PARIS, and there-
fore he, as well as the Legitimatists, is desirous to
keep Louis NAromiox poor and consequently
powerless.

The subject is producing great uneasiness in,the
minds of several of the leading politicians, arid tini-
ness is almost at a stand .still in the Assembly in Con-
sequence. M. FLANDIN will delay the presimtation of
the report to the latest possible moment, in order to give
a chance to the Ministers and the m'ajOrity• to come.
to some understanding on the subject.
The Pattie says—
" The Assembly was this day ranch agitated in reflect-
ing on the consequences of a want of acoord•between the
executive power and the committee on the subject of the
Dotation Bill. The meeting of members in the Salle
des Conferences was very numerous, conversing on what
had been done since the previous day toreatore harmony
between the two great powers of the state on the ques-
tion of the three millions. Messrs Dufaure and Odilon
Barrot declared that they 'should vote for the conclu- •
sioursof the committee."

.The members of the Union of Machine Makers
have presented a memorial to the Minister of Com-
tnerce, requesting him to prevent the professors of
political economy from discussing the question of free
trade. To this he has returned the following reply:—
. " Paris, June 6.
" Messieurs,—You have called my attention to various
questions connected with the teachint of political eco-
nomy. You are aware that the General Council of
Agriculture, Manufactures, and of Commerce is engaged
upon the same subject, and bail come to the following
resolution:—' That political economy should be taught
by the professors paid by Government, not with a view
to the theories about free trade, but more especially
a view to actual facts and to the legislation which go-
verns French industry.: You may rest assured that the
question, as presented in this light, is, on the part of my
department, the object
e,o &c.f most serious examination.
" Receiv,

(Signed) it DUMAS,
Mini,ter of Agriculture and of Commerce."
On which the Dihals says.-
- It is surprising,
h
it is painful, that the Minister of
Commerce,imself a professor and one of the most dis-
tioguished in France, should, for the sake of playing into
the hands of certain interests, submit publict teaching to
such humiliation."
M. FLANDIN read to the committee his report on
the Bill relative to the dotation of the PRESIDENT of
the Republic. lie proposed to fix it at 1,600,000 f.
