with the fantastic revival of festivities such
as the tournament at Eglinton, that cha-
rivari on the chivalric. On the con-
trary, it is of a character deservedly to be associated
in idea with that beautiful ceremony recently holden
in the birthplace of King ALFRED the Great on the
thousandth anniversary of his nativity. Each
of these august festivities has appealed to
the most ennobling of the national predilections
of Great Britain, the one in Wales, the other in Eng-
land, inflArning the patriotism and elevating the am,
bition of the intelligent multitude. Quietly though
the one was allowed to pass over, and noisily as
the other is being celebrated, we cannot bring our-
selves to believe that the heart of England remained
untouched by the homage paid at his tomb to the
memory of the Great ALFRED, or that the genius of
\Vales will remain unmoved by the eloquence of the
Bard Talhaiarn, or by the installation of the successful
candidate in the bardic chair of the Eisteddvod.

the throne; but it was public votes which in the
first instance attached that right and that preroga-
tive to their birth. In a word, as the first source of
their authority came from us, kings ought to make use
of it for our advantage. It is not consequently, Sire, the
law which ought to reign over nations : you are only
the Minister and first depositary.' Massillon was not
excommunicated I Are we to believe that thie policy
was that of a Legitimatist loving his country? Or are we to
believe that these sentiments found in France a feeling
of repulsion ? Insensate men, who do not know our
France, and who speak to it a language which our fathers
never heard, and which they would never have compre-
hended I S:ye now what was my line of policy; see how
I comprehended that the king and the nation could
affix the seal to a durable peace, and prepare for us days
of happiness, and a stability agreed to after so many ex-
periments. Legitimacy would sever be possible in France
except on these conditions. It is for France to say this
openly; it is for the Legitimatists to proclaim it aloud. We
are more numerous than you, gentlemen of the circular, be
asAired. And, what is my personality to me? It had no
other advantage than that of protesting constantly against a
current which was carrying away the Legitimatists from
their national course. To be convinced of this, let the
first letter of M. Peujeulat and the circular of the five
be attentively read. I have combatted with all the
energy of my convictions, with the highest sentiments of
devotednee.; to France, and her traditions. If I am
alone, according to you, alone I will remain. The part
which I have to perform can no longer be any other than
that of a man of good intentions, who protests against
the idea of his ever belonging to the party which has
just declared itself. I will be silent in future against all
attacks. If the most noble of causes brings valiant
champions into the field of national right, let them de-
clare themselves and I will follow them, but what can
they do until by a formal disavowal they shall have
ceased to be powerless?"

The Cotton Market at Liverpool was less active, and
the advence of Monday was nut sustained. Sales 4,000

The large number of vessels that have arrived in the
Thames during the last two or three days have added
immensely to our supplies of produce of all descriptions,
and business in consequence is most active in certain de-
partments, though it remains to be seen whether the
prices of some articles may not suffer.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
Monday was the last day on which the journals
were permitted to publish political articles without a
signature, and the Moniteur du Soir of Monday
evening took advantage of its last anonymous number
to publish the following manifesto of the PRESIDENT
in opposition to the manifesto of the Count DE CHAM-
BORD. This important document is headed, " What
the PRESIDENT desires," and is as follows:--
"The menacing attitude assumed for the last two
months by the monarchical parties has excited great
emotion both in Paris and in the departments. The
country has a right to know what are the projects of
Louis Napoleon in the event of the Royalists—united or
disunited—of the two branches seeking to prAent the
necessary prolongation of the Presidential powers. We
think we are acquainted with these projects, and will
state them in a few words. Louis Napoleon repudiates
openly all dynastic arriere-pensee; he desires no other pre
rogatives than those which he now rnjoys. His sole ot-
ject is the re-establishment of order, confidence, and
credit ; in a word, to close the era of revolutions. But,
to accomplish the mission of peace which has been
reserved for him by Providence, it is necessary that the
power of the President should have stability and dura-
tion. Louis Napoli on would not respond to the wish of
the six millions of citizens, who chose him as the symbol
of the ideas of order and prudent progress inaugurated
in 1789, if he were humbly to boa, his head to the
Royalist coalition which imprudently agitates the coun-
try. Louis Napoleon hopes, then, that when the mo-
ment shall arrive for discussing the future condition of
France—that is to say, to consolidate power definitely,
or to decree anarchy—the National Assembly will com-
prehend the duties imposed upon it by circumstances,
and the immense responsibility which it would assume
in history if it were to hesitate t save the immediate
revision of the Constitution. If the National Assembly,
forgetting that France desires above all things to be
tranquillized, should refuse to adopt a measure impera-
tively demanded by public safety, Louis Napoleon would
not hesitate to make an appeal to the entire people, from
whom he has received his mission. And the people
would decide whether the President of the Republic
should adopt for his motto Abnegation or Perseve-
rance.' "
The Assemblie Nationale, in an article signed
ADRIEN DE LAVALETTE, after quoting the Presi-
dential manifesto from the Moniteur du Soir, thus
comments on it :
" Is there not in this form and in this style the ap-
pearance at least of a semi-official communication?
Who would clan) use this language if not authorised at
least by a verbal confidence? And if the President does
not cause a disavowal to be given to those who speak in
his name, has not public opinion a right to pronounce
itself severely on the anarchical conflicts and agitations
which it is proposod to create for the country ? Can it
be by chance that persons have the idea that the heri-
tage of the parties who have combated the revolu-
tion is open, and that France is to be had by the
first comer? We could comprehend perfectly that
by the aide of these gross declamations against the
two dynastic parties, a'ter these declarations inspired
by so republican a patriotism, this species of
manifesto would have for conclusion the maintenance
of tho Constitution. That at least would be 10.
gical. If the republican path be entered on, the course
already marked out must be followed, the republican
charter must be respected. What does the manifesto
ask for? What does the Charg6 d'Affaires or the non-
official friend of the Elyi ) desire? First, the violation of
the Constitution to the profit of the President alone. It
is the policy of personal right at its highest degree of
egotism. What signifies this imperative command of the
prolongation of the powers of the President, these me-
naces against the Assembly in case it should not engage in
an attempt on the supreme power, in a conspiracy against
the regular will of the nation? In tracing these menaces
against legislative power, the too z alous entourage for-
gets that the Executive power is not armed with any article
of the Constitution against the Parliament, and that the
Parliament has all necessary means to defend itself and
choose a protector to watch over the safety of the Re-
public. Were we not right in remarking how much the
imprudent zeal of subalterns is injurious to all causes,
and ought we not to be sad when all these deplorable
faults give so great advantages to the party of disorder?"
In all the journals, with the exception of the
Journal des Debats, the Ordre, the Republique, and
the Courrier Francais, the political articles are
signed by their respective writers. The Journal des
Debuts contains no political article, and the others
contend that the law did not come into operation
until to-day. The following is a list of the writers
who have signed articles in the various journals :
C'orstitutionnel—M. Veron.

Mr. JONATHAN DUNCAN, to whose admirable lec-
tures on "labour, trade, and currency" we recently
directed the public attention, differs materially from
the generality of critics in some important particulars.
lie is not contented merely with finding fault, with
exposing the errors of the existing system, or even in
tracing those errors to their fountain and origin, but
he also provides a suitable substitute, not only free
from the evils he has so clearly explained, but bearing
the most stringent ordeal, the most trying tests, to
which it can be subjected. The disease is ascertained
and an adequate remedy indicated—a remedy so
simple and obvious that it is strange
.how any
person of ordinary capacity can still remain so deeply
imbued with bullionist prejudices as to refuse assent
to the principles and views so lucidly and distinctly
put forward by the talented lecturer.
That remedy is to restore gold to its natural posi-
tion as a commodity, to deal with it in the same
manner as we do with cotton, iron, calico, or any
other article subject to the ordinary rules of supply
and demand. In such case the price or value will
necessarily fluctuate—we shall not be compelled to
pay the same price when there is a glut in the mar-
ket, and ourcoffers are full to overflowing, as when the
commodity is scarce and in demand, and required, as it
may occasionally be, for the purpose of correcting
the foreign exchanges, as it is termed—a necessity
which, under the present monetary code, has fre-
quently led to the most injurious consequences to the
trade and commerce of the country, which has
brought thousands and tens of thousands of indus-
trious and upright men to bankruptcy and ruin, and
reduced their families to poverty and destitution, in
order that what was termed " the integrity of the
standard" might be maintained. These families were
the hecatombs sacrificed to the Golden image which
had been set up, before which all the interests of the
nation, the welfare, and prosperity of the people were
prostrated.
In lieu of " gold " thus deposed from its functions
Mr. DUNCAN proposes to establish a paper cur-
rency as the circulating medium of the country,
and this paper he divides into two classes,
viz., "national taxation money," to be issued
by the Government, and "commercial money," to be
issued by banking institutions, full security being
previously deposited with the Government for the re-
demption in full of the " commercial money" so
brought into circulation. By these means there
would always be a " circulating medium" adequate
to the wants and exigencies of the nation. The value
of money would always be maintained at about the
same rate, and those extraordinary fluctuations in the
currency which RICHARD COBDEN—the RICHARD
COBDEN of the Anti-Corn-law League, not of the
Peace Congress—justly declared to have occasioned
" greater evils, pecuniary, social, and moral, than the
direct failures of all the banks of issue, since they
were first established in this country," would be
altogether prevented.

The laws of Texas authorised three loans. The first
loan of the 18th November, 1836, of 5,000,000 dolls.,
on a pledge of the publid faith, and the proceeds of the
public lands. The second by Act of the 16th May,
1838, for 5,000,000 dolls., at ten per cent, on a pledge of
the public faith. The third by an Act of the 22d
January, 1839, of 1,000,000 dolls., at eight per cent., on
a pledge of the customs and duties on imports for the
payment of the principal and interest. In June, 1837,
Texas passed an Act to consolidate the debt, and then
found its amount 3,000,000 dolls. This Act pledges the
revenu,, from imposts and direct taxation, fur the prompt
payment of the interest.
The last two items iu the above table of indebtedness,
amounting to 1,404,054 dolls. 90c. were created in this
way—Hol'ord and Dawson sold to Texas a steamer and
other vessels for 370,014 dolls. 89e., to be paid in a cer-

that time. She did fail, and the contractors received,

for 115, 175, 158 reals of public debt were annulled;
the greater part of that amount was paid to the trea-
sury for the purchase of national properties. The

The " taxation money" would have its source and
origin in our fiscal wants, and its certain redemption
in the same cause. It would, in fact, be to all in-
tents and purposes the same as the Exchequer-bills
now in use, save and except that it would not, ac-
cording to Mr. DUNCAN'S views, bear interest ; that
it would be issued directly to the persons having
claiins on the national Exchequer without the inter-
vention of any intermediate parties, by which a large
sum would be saved to the country, and, also, that it
would be made in convenient amounts, not in
the large and unwieldy bills, which the lazi-
ness of a former Comptroller of the Exchequer
introduced, and which the cupidity and influence of
wealthy capitalists caused to be continued for their
own private olljects. It signified but little whether
coins or pieces of paper were issued for that purpose ;
so long as the latter satisfied the claims of the tax-
gatherer, whose visits, unhappily, are not " few or
far between," they answered every purpose that
could be desired, just as fully as if they possessed in-
trinsic value. 'erne butcher or baker would not de-
nominate them " worthless rags," and refuse to give
his joints or loaves to the holder, in exchange
so long as he was well assured that he could content
the rate-collector, and that the farmer would gladly
accept any surplus he might have beyond his own re-
quirements in payment for his cattle or corn. It
would not, in fact, require the provision by which it
would be rendered '° legal tender," for without such a
stipulation it would possess " a purchasing power"
that would fully content the party to whom it was
tendered. A party receiving " a pound" rarely in-
vestigates the quantity of gold or the fineness of the
metal—all he desires is to be assured that when he
wishes to part with it it will be again accepted from
him, in turn, at the same price or value which he him-
self gave for it.

LI. DE LAROCEIFLIQUELIN has addressed the follow-
.ng reply to the remarks of the Union and the Opinion
Publique on his letter protesting against the Wies-
baden manifesto :
" I will not reply to the personalities which you have
addressed to me. The good sense of the public will decide
whether the grave questions which are cut short by the
circular signed by M. de Bartl eleney can bo reduced to a
petty question of pe:-sons. It will judge whether even
the most elementary principles aro not therein outraged
in the most deplorable manner. I know you too well
not to know that you suffer as well as myself, but I take
into account the ex igenciee of position. It is essential
that I should not be accused of culpable susceptibility
by charging me with having accepted or exaggerated
without reflection this sad circular. You have nut said
that this circular was nol; official. You have not the
right to say so. It was deliberated at Wiesbaden without
the participation of the Prince, I am convinced, before
August 30. a date given to it to produce more effect,
and to avoid responsibility. The l)uc de Levis had led
me on the 14th, at Wiesbaden, to expert it. I left on the
15th. M. de Barthelemy announces that he is charged
officially with this communication, and he is incapable of
saying an) thing but the truth. And in order that no
doubt should remain as to the authenticity of this poli-
tical dooument, does not .111. de Barthelemy say—' On my
return to France, I shall have the honour, as previously,
of transmitting to you the instructions of MM. de
Levis, de St. Priest, Berryer, de Pastoret, and d'Escars?'
Finally, the five members of the Committee have given
their adhesion to this act. In fact, M. de Barthe'emy
finishes his circular by saying—' Not having taken your
address to Germany, I considered it my duty to wait for
my return to France to send you this circular.' So im-
portant a document net having been carried into exacts
tion before M. de Bartl é easy returned to Paris, is it
possible to suppose that he could fail in propriety to
such en extent as to publish it without having on
his arrival submitted it to such of the persons named
as were not present when it was drawn up, since
it is well known that he is their secretary ? I repeat
it, for such is the tru hi, the circular itself shows its
authenticity ; and for all the Legitimatists of France the
signature of M. de Barti Cerny includes those of the
five personages nem( d. How can it be pretended that
this circular was not to have been rendered public ? It
was then a had action that was to be concealed ? But
in that case why were so many copies of such a docu-
ment sent to all the departments ? Why was it distri-
butel in an open office to known persons, who went
to ask fcr it ? If it is of little importance, why is there
so much noisy joy on the part of some madmen, and so
much grief oa the part of the immense majority of the
Legitimatists ? No attempt ought to be made to dimi-
nish the importance of such a fault. There are but two
ways of acting—to support it with energy, or to disavow
it openly. The Prince has been deceived in the most
culpable manner ; ho has been deceived as to the wishes,
the opinions, and the sentiments of France. Such is
the truth. It is for the Legitimatist party to see what it
has to do. It is for those who have compromised the
Prince to declare loudly and publicly that they have
caused him to use a language which he has not used,
and which he could not have used. They aro bound, in
fine, to declare that the Count de Chambord was com-
pletely ignorant of this official circular. No men have a
right to declare themselves devoted to a cause when they
assume the right to ruin it. Ah I lam accused of hav-
ing been opposed to a conciliation amongst all parties,
and which I desired most anxiously. Well, now I can
be judged of ; and I will now complete the explanation
of my political views, which certain folks seek to misre-
present. I valuel highly the monarchical principles,
and those of liberty, of 'B9 ; I have always pro-
fessed them; and without having approved of all
the revolutionary acts and principles which followed
the declaration of nullity of the cahier des elats,
without having accepted the acts or principles of 1830,
or all those of 1848, I did not dissemble from myself the
profound root which these different revolutions had taken
in the country; I was firmly convinced that the mo-
narchy could not be re-established in France, except by
the national will freely expressed—an act which would

The amount of these notes, or " national taxation
money," would be strictly limited by the wants of thfr
country. Whatever sum or sums of money were
voted by Parliament would be issued in each and

every year, and they would find their way back to
the Exchequer, and be cancelled in the course of that
year. If 50,000,000/. sterling were granted to de•
fray the demands of the public creditor, or for the
maintenance cf our national establishments, notes o
convenient denominations should be issued to that
amount, which would be paid to the fundholder for
his dividends, to the officials in all the public offices in
payment of their respective salaries or claims upon
the Treasury, of any nature or kind whatsoever.
The same amount would be collected in the course of
the ensuing year, and these notes could never be de-
preciated below their nominal value, for they should
be obtained and paid into the ExchEver. It would,
in fact, be more likely to be at a premium than a
discount.

HER MA: ESTY'S TIIEATRE.—TIIE GRAND NA-
TIONAL CONCERT._The entire theatre is now undergoing
various changes necessary for the opening of these musical
reunions. The circles of boxes are being arranged as stalls,
and the pit and the stage are being formed into one exten-
sive area. The hangings will be of geranium-coloured satin
trimmed with gold lace. Upwards of 150 workmen are
busily employed. Felicien David is engaged to write a new
dramatic symphony, which he will conduct in person ; and
arrangements have been entered into with Herr Marschner
and the renowned Spohr, for new works. The concerts will
commence on October the 15th.
DEATH OF ALEXANDER LYONS, Esq.—The death
of this gentleman took place yesterday morning, at his
chambers, in Clement's Inn. To say that his demise will be
regretted is but faintly to express the mournful feeling whi-h
will pervade the hearts of all who knew him. For upwards
of a quarter of a century Mr. Lyons was associated with the
death
literatyat department t
this journal. In now chronicling his
such an extended intimacy, we feel we
cannot do justice to that high sense of honour, that strict
adherence to undevia.ing truth, those unswerving principles
of integrity by which his every act was regulated, and Which
rendered it an honour to be admitted amongst the circle of
ltis d. We dare not trust ourselves to say more of one

HOLYHEAD MAIL SERVICE.—The Prince of Wales
steamer, the property of the City of Dublin Steam Company,
has been surveyed at Liverpool by the Government Inspec-
tor, as a preparatory measure, in the event of her being re-
quired, in case of accident, for the performance of the mail
packet service between Holyhead and Dublin, when she
would be used as an extra boat. The Prince of Wales is a

line vessel of 400 fobs burthen and 200-horse power, and is
now on the station between the Menai bridge and Liverpool.
Worley Hall, near Manchester, the seat of the
Earl of Ellesmere, was completed at the close of the year
1845, from the design of Mr. Edward Blore, architect. It
was commenced in 1840, is of the mixed style of the end of
the sixteenth century, and is mainly constructed of Hol-

nix,

1 .
ington stone. The pariellings of the principal rooms are of
oak, and in character with the exterior of the building.
the lodging accommodation is very extensiya—fir beyond
tha ttQual proportion to the reception rooms. The whole,
! •
including the grounds, terraces, &c., is a new creation.
The plan shows the appropriation of the rooms, size, tic.
Worslcy, in the parish of Eccles, Lancaster, is about seven
_miles from Manchester. At Worley-bridge begins the Bridge-
water Canal, executed by Brindley in 1760. .Builder.
