WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 5, 1850.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
M. LoualoN, the Democratic Member for the
Department of e Cher, has resigned his seat, for the
purpose of putting the new electoral law to the test.
The Legitimatists have been, as we stated yester-
day, completely tricked by the Orleanists into giving
their support to this law. They at length perceive that
they have fallen into a trap, and are now as bitter
in their denunciations of the Orleanists as they ever
have been in their denunciations of the Socialists.
The Univers and Opinion Politique declare that
nothing but the restoration of legitimacy will bring
back peace, and denounce the revolution of July, 1830,
as a greater crime than that of February, 1848,
while the Gazette de France offers a bidding for
popular favour by declaring that HENRI V. will re-
store universal suffrage, which the Assembly has just
destroyed.
The Assembles Nationale openly preaches civil war.
and boasts of the aid which, in such a case, the Roy-
alists would receive from Russia.:

It is said that the Assembly will be prorogued in
July.
A supplement of the Moniteur Algerien of the
25th ult. gives details of the engagement in which
General DE BARRAL received the wound which re-
sulted in his death. On the 21st ult. the General,
after being delayed three days by torrents of rain,
marched from Djemmila el Baylik, near Trouna,
against the tribe of the Beni. Irma. As he expected,
he found 3,000 Kabyles prepared for resistance ;
they were placed on a line of rocks, between which
and the General there were ravines, in which only
one man at a time could penetrate. The General
arranged his plan of attack, and himself marched at
the head of the troops against the enemy. As he was
proceeding he was struck in the breast by a bullet. He
was able to remain on horseback until Colonel DE
Lounsum came up and received the command
from him. Colonel DE IdoueseeL then proceeded with
the attack, and eventually the French, cavalry and
infantry, were able to rush on the Kabyles; and, not •
withstanding they were met by a discharge of mus-
ketry, they completely routed them, killed 200, pur •
sued the enemy for six hours, and finally set tire to
their villages. The French had only 13 men
wounded, and 2 horses killed. The next day the
Beni-Immels demanded the aman, and the Tifras and
the Aid-Amems, who had been in insurrection for
two years, also made their submission. The bullet
was extracted from the wound of General DE BARRAL,
and the General was conveyed to Bougie.
The aloniteur Algerien gives details of other
military movements in different places, but they
are not of general interest ; they are, however, on
the whole, favourable to the French. This journal
announces the sudden death at Fez of Bou HAMEDI,
ex-Kalifs of ABD EL-KADER ; it was said that he
had been poisoned. His decease had caused great
terror among the Algerine families established in
Morocco. A great number of them, comprising about
1,500 individuals, residing at Fez, or in the vicinity,
had applied to the French Consul at Tangiers to he
allowed to return. Fifty families of the Beni-Amers,
who had emigrated to Ouclide, in Morocco, with the
Caid EL GUENNAODI, bad, in consequence of this,
returned to the French territory, uhere they were
divided amongst the different fractions of the Beni
Amer Garabas.

The Assembly yesterday rejected the proposition
for levying a stamp duty on the transfer of public
stock by 326 to 302. A proposition was laid on the
table for increasing the salary of the PRESIDENT of
the Republic.
A considerable quantity of business was trans-
aclel at the Bourse, and a further rise took place
in the price of Government Stock. The Five per Cents.
opened at 941. 60c., and rose to 95f'. 25c., at which
price they closed; the Three per Cents. closed at 59f.;

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

There was a firm market for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday, and prices had an upward tendency. The
sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,500
American were taken for export, and 500 on speculation.
The transactions comprised 6,000 American (1,000 of
which were Boa eis), chiefly at lA.; 1,000 Pernam and
Ilaranham, at 70. to 71d.; 200 Bahia, at lid. to ;id.;
300 Egyptian, at 711 to Bd.; and 40 Sea Islands, at
Is. H. to 13. lid. per lb.—ln Railway Shares a fair
business was done, with but little alteration in prices.
Speculation and real purchases for consumption have
been rather actively conduct-A this week in the produce
markets. Sugar and Coffee have risen, and Cotton is
steady.
The Continental markets for Public Securities have
been very buoyant. At Paris the rise is continuous and
rernarkahle. At Amsterdam the improvement has been
also conspicuous. Oa th'e 2d inst. the Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. were 56 5-16.
The letters received yesterday afternoon from the
United States dwell still upon the progress making in
manufacturing pursuits at the south. One party
writes:—

" The growth of the manufacturing interests of the
South is one of the most gratifying evidences of our in-
creasing prosperity. Few, even amongst our intelligent
citiz • ns, are aware of the extent to which our people are en-
gaging in this branch of industry; and no one acquainted
with the importance of manufacturing establishments in
developing all the varied interests of the country, can
fail to see in the movement a greater degree of prospe-
rity than has heretofore characterised the Southern
States, while confining themselves chiefly to the pro-
duction of the raw material. But the most gratifying
feet connected with this growing interest, especially to
us Georgian, is the lead which our State is taking. It
has been estimated that there are now in operation in
Georgia 40 cotton mills, employing near 60,000 spindles,
and consuming 45,000 bales of cotton annually. In this
estimate, which seems to be below the true mark,
no calculation is made of our paper-mills, bucket-
factories, iron establishments, louring mills, &c. In
Tenessee it has been reported to the secretary of the
Treasury, that there are 30 factories, employing 36,000
spindles. In South Carolina, the Hon. William Gregg
says there are 16 factories, containing 36,500 spindles,
and about 700 looms, consuming 15,000 bales of cotton
per annum. He estimates the capital invested in those
establishments at about one million of dollars, and the
number of operatives they give employment to at
1,600. There are in Alabama 12 factories, with a ca-
pit a of 500,000 dollars, containing 12,580 spindles and
300 looms, and consuming about 5,500 bales of cotton
annually. It is said that machinery for others
is contracted for sufficient to make the num-
ber of spindles 20,000, and the looms 550. Thus
we have in four States ninety-eight manufactories
of various descriptions of cotton goods, containing
140,000 spindles. There are doubtless many other
colt ni mills in the other Southern States which would
swell the number somewhat. In addition to these, there
are others going up, not only in this state, bat every-
where else at the south. We hazard but litt'e in sayieg
that at the end of the five years there will be perhaps
two hundred cotton factories in operation in the Southern
Stites, consuming'nearly two hundred and fifty thous:m(l
bales of cotton per annum, and giving employment to
twenty-five or thirty thousand operatives. The effect of
such a diversion of labour upon the produc-
tions ef the south, the price of cotton,
and the habits of those who will likely
be employed as operatives must be immense. All the
cost of the transportation of the raw material to Eng-
land, of its manufacture here, its transportatioe back to
this country, will be saved to our people. The general.
price of cotton will be increased by the competition
which will ensue between the manufacturing establish-
ments of Europe and the Northern and Southern States;
and great good to society must result from the employ-
ment of thousands of persons who are now consumers,
and not producers."
The circumstance of a further rise in the Funds at
Paris, and the absence of any unfavourable news has in-
duced further purchases cf Consols, both en speculation
and for investment. The feeling undoubtedly is good.
The large arrivals of bullion, present and prospective,
and more than counter-balancing the exports hence to
Russia, with the proximate payment of the dividends, are
all in our favour; but we have seen such frequent
and sudden re-actions, that we' prefer eaution
to overweening confidence, and there is no
knowing, for example, what may occur in
Schleswig or Cuba to give the Bears a handle.
The range this morning, taking the highest and lowest
values, has been in Consols from 964 to 97 for Transfer,
and from 97 to 971 for the July Account. New Tnree-
and-a-Quarter per Cents., 97i to 4, and Reduced Three

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Lord CAMPBELL and Justiees
PATTESON, COLERIDGE, and EBLE.)

THE QUEEN V. THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF CHESTER.

Lord CAMPBELL this morning delivered the judgment
of the Court in this case. His L ,rdship said, on account
of the general importance of the question the Court took
time to consider their decision in this case, and they
now continued to be of the same opinion which they
formed during the argument, that the return to the
mandamus was sufficient. The mandamus alleged that
Joseph Humphreys was in due manner nominated, by
the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of
Chester, a chorister, lay clerk, and singing man of the
said cathedral church, and until his removal had per-
formed the duties f the office ; and that it was a free•
held office, conferring a right to vote for Members of
Parliament for the county of Chester; yet that the
Dean and Chapter had unjustly removed the said
Joseph llnmphreys from the said office. The return set
forth the foundation of the cathedral church of Chester
by letters patent and statutes passed in the 23d year of
the reign of Henry VIII. By those statutes power was
given of admonishing and punishing at discretion, and
of expelling the officers of the cathedra!, including the
choristers. Then came the appointment of a visitor,
who was to be the Bishop of Chester for the time being,
and who was to see that the statutes were inviolably ob-
served. The return further alleged that the choristers
were nominated and governed under the said statutes,
and that at the time in question Dr. Sumner was the
Bishop of Chester, and visitor of the Dean and Chapter,
under the powers and provisions of the said letters pa-
tent and the said statutes. And it was said that the said
Joseph Humphreys had not appealed against his removal
to the visitor, as he might and could have done. Mr.
Welsby, who supported this demurrer, did not deny the
proposition that where there was an eleemosynary foun-
dation the visitor had exclusive jurisdiction over
the matters with respect to which he was
appointed visitor, but contended that this Court
were compelled by mandamus to bring the removal of
Humphreys within the cognizance of a court of common
law. The first objection was that the mandamus showed
a motion to the visitor, and that where there was a mo-
tion the visitor had no jurisdiction; but Appleford's
case was an express authority that after motion the
visitor's jurisdiction continued, and that when be had
jurisdiction this Court would not interfere. The next
objection was placed on the alleged limited powers of the
visitor in this case, and on the want of an allegation in
the return of the offence imputed, to show that the
visitor had jurisdiction over him. But the Court were
of opinion that by the letters patent set out the powers
of the Bishop of Chester, were not confined to cases in
which he had a jurisdiction ordinarily, but that he was
constituted a special visitor to see that the statutes were
enforced. The Court could see no reason why the
return should specify the offence on which
the motion took place, if the legality of the
motion was to be determined by the visitor.
The Court was then told that the mandamus ought to
go, because this was a spiritual and not an eleemosynary
foundation; but no authority was cited to show that this
distinction was material where there was a special visi-
tor appointed by the Crown. Although there was a dif-
ference with respect to the acts of a visitor merely in the
capacity of an ordinary, the office here was a lay office
belonging to a spiritual foundation, and in principle
there was nothing to show that it was to be viewed
differently from the fellowship of a college with special
powers of visitation. With respect to the allegation
that this was a freehold office, when Mr. Humphreys
accepted the office he knew the conditions on which it
was offered to him, one of which was, that in case of dis-
putes arising, such disputes were to be determined by
the visitor, and not by a court of common law.
Lastly, it was contended that although ' Mr. Hum-
phreys might have appealed to the visitor ;
he was not bound to do so, and might
apply for relief to this Court. But this not;on of a con-
current jurisdiction was expressly contradicted by the
language of Lord Hale in Appleford's case. For those
reasons the Court were of opinion that there ought to be
judgment for the defendants, and it was very satisfactory
for the Court to think that their judgment might be
questioned in another place.

THE QUEEN V. THE TITHE COM3IISSIONERS OF ENGLAND

AND WALES.

The Court pronounced judgment for the defendants.

EXCHEQUER.--(THIS DIY.)

(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON, and Barons ALDERSON,
ROLFE, and ?LATT.)
EIRKENSHAW V. THE DIRDIINGHAII AND OXFORD
RAILWAY.

The LORD CHIEF BARON delivered the judgment of
the Court in this case. It was an action bronght to re-
cover the sum of 4,5001. for three houses, and other pro-
perty belonging to the plaintiff, which were required for
the purposes of the railway. Upon notice being received
from the defendants that the property would be required,
the plaintiff demanded payment of 4,5001., and if that
were not given that a jury should be summoned to
assess the damages. The question which the Court had
to decide was, whatwas the meaning of the words in the
Act of Parliament, lands taken for the execution of
the works." The Court had carefully examined the
Act of Parliament, and had referred to several decisions
of Lord Cottenham on the point, and they were of opi-
nion that the verdict should be entered for the de-
fendants.—Judgment for the defendants.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE,
and Justices MAULE, CROMWELL, and TALFOURD.)
The Court was occupied this morning with demurrers,
which presented no features of general interest.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Justice Wightman sat in banco this morning, but
nothing came before the Court to justify a report.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
FISHER AND ANOTHER V. HICItMAN AND ANOTHER.
The plaintiff's in this action arc timber-merchants, at
Plaistow, Essex; and defendants aro undertakers in
Cannon-street road. The action was brought to recover
the sum of 121. Os. 2d.
Several witnesses were called to prove the order and
delivery of the goods, and an attorney appeared for
defendants, who made no defence, but intimated that he
should move the Court to enter a suggestion to deprive
plaintiffs of costs.
Plaintiffs' solicitor said, that although there was no
defer.ce, it was accessary for him to call witnesses to
prove the case.
The jury gave a verdict f,,r the amount.
This was the only case in the paper.

Mr. A. B 2 four had nu interview with Earl Grey yes-
terday, at the Colenial-office.
