LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, MO.

Our Republican neighbours are certainly fond of
imparting a theatrical colouring to their political de-
monstrations,. Latterly, however, even in their most
melodramatic proceedings, there has been a profound
and earnest significance : ex. gr. the triumphant re-
turn of the sensuous, or we might rather say the
sensual, romancist M. EUGENE SUE, as the Parisian
representative. The announcement of this event as
the result of the late parliamentary contest in the
French capital has startled the timorous into an un-
usual display of timidity. During the earlier part
of Monday night the streets and boulevards
of the Republican capital swarmed with an
anxious multitude, betraying in their whole
bearing, and conversation the extent of their excite-
mCiit. Under every lamp-post collected a group of
eager politicians devouring the evening newspapers.
Elsewhere the stump orators gesticulated and de-
with their habitual fervour. Speculators
congregated in the Pasage de l'Opera, and very
speedily, or rather forthwith, the funds dropped down
twe-and-a-half per cent., threatening a yet greater
depression before the closing of the Bourse. Never-
theleis, in rpite of the general agitation, patrols were
allowed to pass unmolested to and fro throughout the
night, and the consequence was that Paris was pre-
served in a state of comparative tranquillity.

All these appearances go far to prove how deeply
the popular anxiety has been probed by the im-
portant election just brought to a conclusion. M.
LECLERC, the representative of the party of
authority, called the party of order, contrived to
secure only 117,177 votes out of 249 sections of

the department of the Seine ; whereas M.
SUE, the Socialist, and ultra-democratic candidate,
obtained from the same number of sections no less a
majority than 8,175, his supporters being estimated
at 125,352 ! Subsequent returns from the two
remaining sections of the 251 into which the
metropolitan department is divided, brings up the
majority of the Socialist candidate to very nearly ten
thousand over and above the number of votes conceded
to his Conservative antagonist. The victory thus
secured to the ultra-Republican is regarded less as a
personal ovation of a very brilliant but demoralising
genius, whose romances have long been investing him
with an enormous popularity, than as a stern demon-
eration against the Droit in the Legislative Assembly,
the Conservative conspirators who are plotting treason
to the Republican Constitution, the agents of
a disguised royalty and a covert absolutism. It is,
moreover, conceived by the more sagacious observers
of these occurrences, that the triumphant election of
M. EUGENE SUE, as the representative of the Parisians,
is remarkable for a double significance of a most ex-
traordinary character. It is said for example, sad
with no inconsiderable show of reason, that a certain
attractive theory of idealized Communism was ad-
vanced by M. EUGENE Sun in his celebrated fiction
of the Alf Errant, and that, therefore, his sue-•
cess is a step en avant for the Communistic
multitude. It is suggested again by others that,
seeing the villanous portraiture of le Pere RODIN
in the same romance, and the grim representation
of the whole ecclesiastical fabric, with its regu-
lations and its functionaries, the triumph of M. Eu-
GENE SUE must be regarded as nothing less than " a
heavy blow and a great discouragement " to the
clerical faction called the parti-pretre. The rea-
sonableness of all these conjectures with regard to a
candidate such as M. EUGENE SUE must be suffi-
ciently obvious, especially in reference to a con-
stituency as excitable and eccentric as the Parisians.
Should the election of the Socialist in preference to
the Conservative, the nominee of the Gauche instead
of the Droit, the ultra-democrat in place of the ultra,
reactionary, be productive of no other advantage to the
cause of true freedom among the citizens of the French
Republic, it will act as a powerful (would that
it might prove an adequate !) warning to
the royalist conspirators. Unhappily these men
are so blinded by the engrossing fascinw
tion of their plots, that it is scarcely possible they
will hear the present any more than they have done
any previous warning, uttered though it be in a
voice of thunder, and glaring before them as it does
with the vividness of lightning. Much as is said
about the fickleness of the French, and especially of
the Parisians, it is certain that of all the races of Chris-
tendom they have been perhaps the most long-snf-
fering. For 18 years they tolerated the evil govern-
ment of a Prince, raised by them to the monarchical
dignity only to betray, and to fleece, and to disgrace
thirty millions of benefactors. During many centu-
ries they bent their necks obediently to the yoke of
the ancient dynasty. In 1789, and in 1830, and in
1848 they rose only at the last extreTity to rid them•
selves of the intGlerat:e and grinding domination of
their oppressors. Yet these are the men who are denied
the virtue of endurance. Yet, yet these are the
men against whom the royalist conspirators
the apologists of absolutism, the ultra-conservatives,
the ultra-reactionnaries, are plotting with such insane
audacity. Madmen as they are, these schemers in
behalf of despotism " have forgotten nothing, have
learnt nothing," they have seen to no purpose the
awful truths disclosed in the giant outbreaks of Sep-
tember, of July, and of February. They think not,
these miserable beings, infatuated with the glitter of an
imaginary regalia, of the irresistible force of those
national

" Hopes and fears long subdued,
Subdued and cherished long."
Let them know, before too late, that this force has
grown at last to be incapable of resistance, and that
the energy inspired by those hopes and fears can defy
all opposition, whether that of open antagonists or of
secret conspirators.

One of the results of the alteration in the corn-laws,
and that, perhaps, not the least remarkable or im-
portant, is the total change effected in the views and
sentiments of the Protectionists, or, as they love to
style themselves, the Cauntry Party. They have now
become zealous and energetic financial reformers,
bringing forward and voting in favour of economy
and retrenchment, and scrutinizing the national
expenditure with curious eyes. Even the veteran
reformer, JOSEPH HUME, is scarcely more urgent
for the application of the pruning knife than some of
those who, in the " good old times," when monopoly
reigned paramount, and the prices of all the chief
necessaries of life were nearly double the present rates,
would have thought such topics beneath their notice.
We shall not, however, repudiate the services of our new
allies because of their former errors. We shall not
inquire too curiously into the nature of the motives
by which they may be actuated, but shall freely
accept their proffered aid. The change is not on the
part of the ancient friends of economy. We still re-
main faithful to our former principles; we are
arrayed under the glorious standard, and we shall still
continue to wage " war to the knife" against every
species of extravagance, notwithstanding the unsoli-
cited adhesion of' former opponents, and the more
unexpected desertion of former friends.
Mr. HENLEY last night brought forward what
may now be regarded as his annual motion, " for
an address to her MAJESTY, praying that she
would be graciously pleased to direct that a careful
revision be made of the salaries and wages paid in
every department of the public service, with a view
to a just and adequate reduction thereof, due regard
being had to the efficient performance of the , several
duties." We cannot conceive a proposition in every
respect more unobjectionable, or better deserving
support. It did not imply that all salaries should be
diminished without inquiry or without exception. It
did not suggest that those which are already too low
should be further reduced without considering the
nature of the duties to be performed, or the qualifica-
tions required. It did not affirm that all officials
received exorbitant remuneration for their ser-
vices. No such thing. All that could be
deduced from its success would be that
very many were too highly paid, considering the di-
minution of prices of all the necessaries and most of
the luxuries of life; or, in other words, the great ap-
preciation in the value of money produced by the ex-
isting monetary code, and that, therefore, a cor-
responding reduction in the amount of salaries and
perquisites that had been arranged under very diffe-
rent circumstances might fairly and reasonably be
made. It might, in fact, as the Hon. Member for
Sheffield justly remarked,

truism," which her MAJErr
have accepted without the slightestsdaangofer,tha andka
wiohisceh,
Honourable Gentlemen on every side
of every shade and variety of
political opinion, might
have sustained by their votes. But by rejecting the
motion they practically decided_that no alteration was
desirable, and that was the view which Mr. cnn
practically affirmed by his arguments.
The Hon. Gentleman seemed to think that it was
something intended to damage the great cause of free
trade, to deprive the working classes of the advan-
tages resulting from the abolition of the bread-tax—
advantages to which they were so justly entitled;
that, in fact, it might be considered as "a war upon
aed:erweas there a greater mistake—never
wages."HaT
moreL erroneous

guarded his proposition against such a misconception,
The concluding clause, " due regard being had to the
efficient performance of the several duties," completely
removed the ground from under his opponent, and an-
ticipated all his arguments. It was not aimed at the
hard-worked and, under-paid employes. It was not
directed at those who gave a " fair day's work in
return for a fair day's wages." Such persons would
not, in fact, be in any degree affected by the
result. Their salaries would not be reduced
below the fair value of their services ; they would
still be at least as high, if not higher, than could be
obtained from private employers. But there are
some unquestionablyhowsehoorreeclediyveemxtorraevatghaanathsaelyaraieres
justly entitled to, w
have been rendered still more unreasonable by the
of money. A striking
igirlueasttraatlitoenrawtiaosn
the Prerogative Court
the case of the Registrar of
aitfnotrhdeedvjauluset before the discussion, in
actually
of Canterbury, who, it appears, wa s
joying no less than 12,000/. per annum foralmost
that the fortunate J
nominal duties—so slight, indeed,

holder was also enabled to fill no less than three
ecclesiastical preferments—a prebend of Canterbury,
the Rectory of Ilunton, and the Rectory of
Latchington, yielding a further revenue of
2,063/ per annum. Other instances, almost as glir-
ing, might be adduced, and yet, in the face of such
facts, the chosen representatives of the people, the ap-
pointed guardians of the public purse, negatived the
salutary proposition by a majority of 96. The num-
bers being, for putting the question, 178 ; against
it, 269.

The true ground on which to rest the case, how-
ever, is, as we have already stated, the great "appre-
ciation" in the value of money that has taken place
under the Acts of 1619 and 1844. It is now admitted
on all sides that the " purchasing power of a pound
sterling," or, in other words, that command over the
necessaries and comforts of life, which was conveyed
by a sovereign or a one pound note, in the average
if transactions in which it was employed some 30 years
since, is more than doubled. This has been the
result of our monetary legislation, and if those enact-
►nents are to be maintained inviolate and perpetuated,
a corresponding change should be made in every de-
partment. The pressure of the national debt has
been increased in that proportion. Now we desire
to maintain faith with the public creditor, but we
cannot see why faith should not be maintained with
the tax-payer, or why the former should receive
twice the amount for which he stipulated—thus in-
creasing his resources at the expense of the latter.
Many of the salaries now complained of were regulated
according to the former value of money ; but when the
latter has changed so considerably, why should the par-
ties now receive twice as much as was considered to
le fair remuneration for their services at that time.
This is the true light in which the subject should be
regarded. It is, we verily believe, the view that will
be taken by the great body of the people outside the
walls of Parliament. We confess that we should
'greatly prefer a monetary reform that would restore
things to their original position, and bring the value
.f money to what it was when 600,000,0001. were
added to the national debt. But if this just and rea-
sonable proposition be rejected—if Government still
pertinaciously and obstinately adhere to our restric-
-ive currency laws, the only alternative is, that there
,hould be " a careful revision of the salaries and wages
paid in every department of the public service, with a
view to a just and adequate reduction thereof, due
regard being had to the efficient performance of the
several duties."

ACCOUCHEMENT
OF

HER MAJESTY.

BIRTH OF A PRINCE.

This morning at twenty minutes after Eight o'clock
the Queen was safely delivered of a Prince. In the
room with her Majesty were his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, Dr. Locock, and Mrs. Lilly, the
monthly nurse. And in the rooms adjoining were
the other medical attendants, Sir James Clark and
Dr. Ferguson, and the Ministers and Officers of State
summoned on the occasion.

The Privy Councillors present were the Duke of
Wellington, Sir George Grey, the Archbishop of
Canterbury, the Bishop of London, Lord John
Russell, the
.Duke of Norfolk, and the Marquis of
B readalbane.

NIONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER 7 0 THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 10,000 bales, of which one half were taken for
export and on specula'ion. The market was firm.—
Railway Shares continued very dull and prices were
drooping.
The Stock Exchange is closed to-day, as customary
on the lit of May.
The Banker's Magazine for May states that the
Money Marktt continues to be well supplied with capi-
tal, and for goOd three months' bills the rate of discount
is still only a fraction above 2 per cent. per annum.
The Bank minimum rate is 2i, as before. The bankers
accept lodgments on call at something like 1i per cent.
At these easy rates money is not a drug, and finds em-
ployment.
" The Life Policies of Assurance Bill, we are sorry to
say, has made no further progress, and has now little
chance of success this session. We should like to see
the Banking community, who are so directly interested
in the success of this measure, strengthen the hands of
its promoters by petition, or by private correspondence
with friends who are Members of the House."

The following is from Panama, relative to the revolu-
tion of Equidor:—
" Guayaquil, March 4, 1850.

“ A revolution broke out berion the 20th ultimo, prin-
t•ipally confined to the military. Don Diego Voroa was
yesterday appointed Supreme Chief, and up to this date
good order has been observed; but as our communica•
tion with Quito is closed, and the principal citizens are
,trongly opposed to this revolutionary movement, it is
impossible to judge of the duration or course it may
pursue.”
El Mercurio, of Valparaiso, January 31st, states
that in the month preceding the amount of flour ex-
ported from that port t California was 80,000 quintals,
biting nearly 40,000 barrels. The same journal says
that the population of California augments so rapidly that
all the produces of their fields will not be sufficient to
supply them with bread, adding that, to a North Ame-
rican, bread is an indispensable aliment.
El Corco, of Lima, of February 9th, contains the
Message of the President of the United States, sent to
Congress, December, 1849.
The question of extending to a farther period the
monopoly granted hitherto to the Pacific Steamboat
Company is not yet settled, and continues to be dis-
cussed in the journals of Lima, by long-winded corre-
spondents.
In the Nova Scotia Legislature the following resolu-
tions were carried by a strong majority:-

DEATH OF SIR THOMAS CARTlVElGHT.—lntelli-
gence has been received at the British Legation in Berlin,
from Stockholm, of the death of Sir Thomas Cartwright, her
Majesty's envoy at the Court of Sweden. This melancholy
event occurred after a few days' illness, in consequence, as it
is said, of an inflammation or abscess in the throat. No man
will be more lamented by the Cou:t to which he was accre-
dited, and by his colleagues, than this most worthy and
popular gentleman. Sir Thomas had attained his fifty-fourth
year, and had passed thirty-six years in tho diplomatirr.
service.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
Scarcely any Euglish Wheat was on offer in to- d sy's
markets. Tho few parcels brought forward were mostly'dis •
posed of at prices folly equal t, those obtained on Monday
last. Very few offers came to hand from the east coast to
forward Wheats at present currencies. Nearly 12,000 quar-
ters of foreign Wheat have come fresh to hand this week.
The show of samples was by no means extensive. All kinds
were in but moderate request, yet the quotations were well
supported in every instance. The supply of English Barley
was small, that of foreign large. Most kinds moved off
slowly at last week's prices. In Malt next to nothing doing
at late rates. We had a large quantity of foreign Oats on
the stands. A steady business was doing in that article,
but we have no improvement to notice in value. Beans,
Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, as last advised.

PARKER AND BENTON.—These gentlemen, take their benefit
at Drury-lane Theatre to-morrow evening. They have been
long connected with the house, and most of our playgoing
readers have, no doubt, been frequently indebted to the
civility and kindness of Mr. Parker, at the box-office, while
all who have ever had occasion to make inquiries at the
stage door can bear testimony to the urbanity with which
Mr. Benton performs his duties. These things will, we hope,
be held in remembrance, and, if so, these gentlemen will
have a bumper to-morrow night. The performance will
commence with Hamlet , and conclude with the Devil's Ring.

ST. JAMES'S SCOTCEI CRURCII, SWALLOW-STREET,
PICCADILLY.— On Sunday morning last the Rev. John Caird,
one of the most eloquent preachers of the Church of Scot-
land, preached in this church on behalf of the Scottish
Church Missions. There were present in the church listening
to the admirable discourse the Duke and Duchess of Argy.l,
the Duchess of Sutherland, the Earl of Carlisle, Lord and
Lady Blantyre, ➢lr. Fox Maule, and others of the Scottish

EXHIBITION OF 1851.—The Royal Cjmmis•ioners
have informed the city of London committee that they are
prepared to take the greatest care in their power of all ob-
jects sent to the exhibition; but they are not prepared to
incur a degree of responsibility unusual with regard to puLlic
exhibitions. For this reason it has been already stated that
exhibitors must be at the charge of insuring their own goods,
and that the Commissioners cannot be responsible for any
losses that may be occasioned by fire, or any other accident
over which they have no control. They will spare no pains
in making such p 'lice and other arrangements as may ap-
pear adequate for the protection of the exhibition and the
security of articles exhibibited. They will of course give all
the aid in their power for the, legal prosecution of all persons
gu.lty of robbery or wilful injury of any of the articles in the
exhibition, should such unfortunately occur in spite of the
precautions which will be taken.
A letter from Berlin states that Prince Adalbert of
Prussia, the King's youngest brother, has contracted a
morganatic marriage with Theresa Elssler, Fanny Elssler's
sister. She is henceforward to bear the name of Madame de
Bernau, which the King has sanctioned on the occasion of
the marriage.

CITY COMMISSION OF SEWERS.—TheCommiAsioners
assembled at the Guildhall as usual yesterday—Mr. De-
puty Peacock in the chair; but the only business transacted
on tho occasion was entirely of a routMe character, and there-
fore destitute of any interest.
