of universal suffrage, or will it be obliged to punish wild
attempts, to break down criminal resistances? Such is
the alternative in which France is placed at present;
and, unfortunately, the most probable eventuality is not
that which we earnestly desire. Too many signs appear
in the horizm announcing stormy conflicts. But, what-
ever may be the future which God will dispose for the
people between this time and May, 1852, the duty of
the socialist democracy is clearly traced out, and it will
not fail in it. By study, by the tribune, by the
press, by propagandism at the private hearth, it will con-
tinue to prepare fur the pacific struggle of the ballot,
which will ensure to it the power of realising its ideas,
which will abase its enemies, by raising up its principle ;
and each man, in the calm of his strength, his eye fixed
on the holy ark of the constitution, confirming his mind
by the sentiment of right, and by the great reminiscences
of our revolutionary history, will hold himself ready to
be upstanding at the first movement of usurpation, from
whatever quarter it may come. Citizens, the destinies
of society are in advancing, and not in looking behind;
the republic will not recoil before miserable ambitions,
before a wretched coalition of selfish interests. Union,
perseverance, devotedness—such is the device of holy
causes. It is inscribed on our flig. Let us remain
faithful to it, and victory—a prompt and speedy victory,
will be the ree ard of our efforts"

Notwithstanding the scandal occasioned by the
conduct of the non-eortni.sioned officers of the
Gendarmerie Mobile, who were feted by the PRESI-
DENT on Wednesday, he has determined to fOe the non-
commissioned officers of all the regi+vents who would
have made part of the camp of Versailles. The Legi-
timatist journals affect to apprehend serious conse-
quences from these fetes; the Presse takes, in our
opinion, a much more sensible view of the affair, it
says—
Several journals yesterday gave details of what
took place at the President's late banquet, and which
have occupied the Bourse and the Assembly. We only
produce them ourselves to efface the emotion they may
have caused, by showing how puerile and how little
dangerous such demonstrations are. It is not
around a dinner-table that the Constitution can be
revised. We do not fear that the Empire will ever issue
from a dessert dish, like the Princess Colibri from a
basket of flowers. Fortunately France has not arrived
at such a point of degradation and decadence as to make
it possible to impose slavery on her on leaving the din-
ner-table, as did the drunken tyrants of the Roman de-
cadence, who marched to supreme power between cour-
tesans and slaves. France has allowed herself to be
conquered sometimes—deceived often; but never de-
graded. We must only see, then, in this incident a table
adventure—nothing else. It is precisely because the
Empire is talked of after dinner that it is not talked of
before dinner. It rises and passes like the fumes of
champagne. When the bottles are empty, and the lights
put out, nothing remains. There is no morrow for such
enthusiasms: they go as they came."
On Saturday the first of these fetes took place at
the Elysee, the guests behaved in an orderly manner,
and all went off without scandal.

There was a Cabinet Council held on Friday, in
consequence of the reception of unpleasant news
from some of the Prefects of the central and eastern
departments, who find their efforts to secure a good
reception for the President during his approaching
tour by no means so. successful as they could have
wished.

The Municipal Council of La Guilotterie (tbe
Southwark of Lyons), have rejected, by a majority
of 13 to 9, the proposition of the Mayor that they
should wait upon the President in their collective ca-
pacity immediately upon his. arrival. The Lyons
authorities, on the contrary, have de ermined to give
him a splendid reception. This, howe an scarcely
be considered an act- of spontaneous ho ge, seeing
that Lyons is in a state of siege, and that all is done
under the awe of the bayonets of General Castellane.
The Journal des Dibats states that there is every
prospect of the formation of a Customs union between
France and Belgium.
M. Guizo-r has returned to Paris from Ems, via

The Committee of Prorogation met on Saturday
for the first time. M. DuetN, the President of the
Assembly, who is ex officio president of the Com-
mittee, occupied the chair. Among the members
present were M. Daru, one of the vice• presidents of
the Assembly, MM. Berard, Peussin, Lacaze, and
Arnaud (de l'Arriege), and one of the questors, M.
Baze. General Changarnier and Count Mole were
also present.
On Saturday the Court of Assizes of the Seine
went through the cere of degrading M. LIBRI,
a member of the Legio Honour. It will be re-
membered that M. LIBR recently found guilty,
par contuntace, of stealing books from the national
libraries, and sentenced to ten years' imprisontneut.
M. Lnaui was declared to be no longer a member of
the Legion of Honour.

sacerdotal arrogance produced the most lively sensa-
tion in Turin. The people assembled in a state of
great excitement, and but for the interference of the
National Guard would have executed summary jus-
tice on the clergy. The funeral cortege was most
numerous on the next thy. The National Guard, the
troops, the Deputies now in Turin, the Corps Diplo-
matique, including the French Minister, M. FERDI-
NAND BARROT, attended. The Cure of San Carlos
and a few of the clergy attended, but they were
hissed by the crowd as they passed along.

The extraordinary increase in the amount of metallic
currency in France, is placing the National Bank there
in a position which it scarcely ever occupied before,
and brings its specie asset,: within a very limited distance
of the paper liabilities. In the last week there was a
further addi!ion of 7,500,1100 francs to Lila specie. The
discounts fell off 4,250,000 francs in the provinces, but
incr, ased 1,750,000 francs in Paris; the circulation was
smaller by 10,250,000 francs, and the Treasury account
larger by 4.000,000 francs. Everything is in the direc-
tion of accumulation, and the trading community, having
ample funds, do not require much accommodation,
though' an extension of business would cause some extra
demand.

The steamer with the American mail has not yet
been announced as having arrived off Liverpool.
Accounts from Belgium state that there had been
most serious inundations there. The rain came like a
deluge at Roulers, Thielt, and other places where the
harvest was fir from b3ing concluded. The flax and
grain had suffered greatly, and the farmers were heavy
sufferers. A large quantity of the new flax
which was in the fields was carried away, and
at Bruges the hospital for aged persons was almost
beaten down. At the latest dates the water, which had
risen in certain districts, at Ardoye, for instance, to the
height of the ears of rye, was fast subsiding, and a
strong wind blowing served to dry the ground. The
grand works of art in course of execution at Lye had
suffered a good deal. Several of the dikes were broken.

A very important statement appears in a German

The English Funds have been depressed again, and
the arrangements making for the settlement of the Ac-

heavy showers, the uncertainty attaching to
the Danish question, and the disappointment
felt at the constant supply of stock thrown upon the
market whenever Consols reach to about 96i, have all
had their effect in turning the scale in favour of the

CABINET CQUNCIL.-A Cabinet Council (the last
but one, we believe, this session) was held at the
Foreign-office this afternoon, at one o'clock. There
were present, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord John
Russell (who arrived in town this morning from
Pembroke Lodge), the Earl of Carlisle, Earl Grey,
the Earl of Minto, Viscount Palmerston, Sir George
Grey, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Thomas
F. Baring, Sir John C. Hobhouse, the Right Hon.
H. Labouchere, and the Right Hon. Fox Maule.
The Privy Council, at which the Royal Speech for
closing the session of Parliament will be settled, is
fixed to take place at Buckingham Palace on Wed-
nesday, at three o'clock.

MELANCHOLY EVENT.—FIVE LIVES LOST..---MIL-
FORD, FRIDAY.—A shocking disaster occurred at Blackpool,
on Wednesday, which resulted in the loss of five lives, under
very distressing circumstances. Smme colliers employed at
the Hook Colliery were engaged in loading two lighters with
timber for the use of the pit, and on the completion of the
work five of the men proposed to return home by water.
Having embarked in a small boat they made their way
down the channel against a strong head wind. On nearing
Picton's Point the boat shipped several seas, which so
terrified the misguided fellows as to induce them to leap
overboard, and the current swept them away and they
perished. Their names were Henry Phillips. William
Fallow, Benjamin Phillips, Andrew James, and Thomas

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

In some of the country markets, held on Saturday,
new Wheat was brought forward, in but moderate con-
dition. In old qualities of both English and Foreign
only a limited bnsiness was transacted, at about
stationary prices. All Spring Corn, as well as Flour,
supported previous rates.

Letters from the Baltic and Black Sea ports state
that the purchases of Wheat on English account have
been but moderate; nevertheless, the quotations have
ruled steady. In France, Holland, and Belgium, the
corn trade has been far from active, yet shipments of
Flour to some extent continue to be made to the United
Kingdom.

The arrivals of English Grain up to our market, last
week, were small. From abroad we received 23,525
quarters of Wheat, 7,673 ditto of Barley, 25,021 ditto
of Oat!, 227 ditto of Beanl, 65 ditto of Peas, 12 ditto of
Tares, 1,112 ditto of Rapeseed, 11 ditto of Mustard
Seed, 33 ditto of Sundry Seeds, 6,920 sacks and 30 bar-
rels of Flour.

The quantity of Wheat of home produce received
fresh up to this morning's market, coastwise as well m
by land carriage and sample, was comparatively small,
and of but middling quality. The supply left over from
last week being trifling, the accounts respecting the
potato disease unfavourable, and the weather by no
means fine fur harvest work, holders of all kinds of
English 'Wheat were very firm at the commencement of
business, and most of them refused to sell except at
higher rates. However, as the attendance of buyers,
both town and country, was not large, and as we were
heavily supplied with French Flour--the quantity ex-
ceeding 8,000 sacks—no progress could be msde in sales,
except at last week's prices, at which the trade may be
considered steady. It will be perceived, therefore, that
we have not the slightest change to notice in value.
NAbout::so quarters of new Wheat from Essex and
Kent were offering in very tender condition, at from 47s
to 483 per quarter. The weight was about 58i to 601bs
per bushel. New Wheat appeared here for the first time
last season on, the 13th August. The prices obtained
were 503 to 52s per quarter, the weight being 6llbs. per
bushel.

Very few offers reached us from the east coast to ship
Wheats at present currencies. Millers generally ex-
hibited no inclination to purchase fur forward delivery.
The supply of Foreign Wheat was larger than fur
some time past. Fine qualities of both red and white
moved off steadily, at fully last week's quotations. I❑
the middling and inferior kinds only a moderate business
was transacted, but no decline was submitted to in the
rates current on this day se'nuight.
Scaret-ly a sample of English Barley was bro-ught for-
ward, but the supply of Foreign was good. All kinds
ruled firm, and prices were well supported in every
instance.

Malt, though in short supply, moved off slowly, at
late rates.

The aggregate supply of Oats was not large. A
steady business was transacted in that description of
grain, and prices were well supported.
Beans sold steadily, but we gave no improvement to
notice in their value.

A few parcels of new Peas changed hands, at 27s per
quarter. Old quanlities were quite as dear.
In Indian Corn scarcely any sales took place; but
rather large parcels of Flour were disposed of at full
prices. The top nominal price of town-made was 40s
per 2801bs.______
