mating and despicable enthusiasm. Occasionally, it
is true, amongst ourselves some miserable creature,
carried away by his imitative insanity, surpasses even
the mobs of New York and Washington by the folly
of his self-abasing adulation, as where some wretched
wight the other day in Liverpool, mimicking the
homage paid of old to the LORD in Palestine, followed
the Swedish Nightingale through the multitude to touch
the kern of her garment. Altogether, however, the
madness of this popular sycophancy to persons in any
way distinguished is rendered the most conspicuous
and appreciable by that aggregation of toadyism
which can be seen nowhere so glaringly as in a con-
course of American citizens. There the pandering to
the mere lust of popularity runs rampant, until those
who, like ourselves, are looking on with dispassionate
inquisitiveness, are shamed into some moderation of
our own ardour. So, likewise, is it inevitably in
regard to the cultivation of an appetite for horror,
such, for example, as finds its highest enjoyment in
feasting on ail particulars relating to the last mo-
ments of any very horrible murdt-rer in the condemned
cell and on the scaffold. 0: this we have had in the
last scenes of the career of Professor WEDSTER a most
disgusting and ghastly illustration. The public
curiosity, after being excited to the utmost possible de-
gree by the protracted nature of the trial and of the
substq lent deliberations in regard to the sentence,
was gratified in a horrid manner by the minuteness
of the details, collected, printed, and published in
reference to this atrocious assassin. Scarcely a
quiver of the muscles passed across his countenance
but it was recorded. Not a groan broke from his
lips in darkness and apparent solitude but it was
noted down with historical exactness. The utter-
ances of wisdom which fell like precious stones from
the mouth of the great and the good Dr. JOHNSON
were not more scrupulously committed to paper by
the obsequious BoswELL, than the hypo-
critical phrases and stilted platitudes which
formed the staple of the conversation of this most
atrocious miscreant. By regarding these melancholy
spectacles as they transpire upon the arena of public
events in the United States, it is impossible but that
wholesome deductions must be drawn from them by
the impartial spectator. It is in this spirit that we
have .referred to them in the present instance. It is
in this spirit that we shall direct attention to their re-
currence at every available opportunity.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Republique republishes the protest against the
logitinncy of the Dac DE BORDEAUX, alleged to have
been made by LOUIS PHILIPPE, then Duke of OR-
LEANS in 1820, and published in August 1831, just
previous to his election to the throne as King of the
French. The Republique in commenting on this
protest says—
" That ono of two conclusions must be come to,
namely, either that the Duke de Bordeaux is illegitimate
and has no claims to the throne, even according to the
principle of hereditary right, or that Louis Philippe, in
order to prepare his way to the throne, was guilty of an
act which should have covered him with infamy."
The Moniteur du Soir has the following:—
" It is from and after Tuesday next, the 24th Sep-
tember, at the journals will have to conform to the
enactmeWof the new law on the pre,s, relative to the
signatures to be attached to political articles."
The National publishes the reply of the Porn to
the appeal of the Jesuit conductors of the Univers,
against the condemnation passed on their proceedings
by the Archbishop of Portz . The Porn gives the
writers in the Univers full credit for their intentions,
but he adds, that it appears to the "venerable
brother who governs the Church of P,tris,” that they
have, in the heat of discussion, gone so far as to oc-
casion some prejudice to the cause they defend ; and
he accordingly recommends them to "moderate the
enthusiasm of their zeal," and to e, listen to the coun-
sels of their beloved father."

By a decision of the PRESIDENT of the Republic,
General BONET, commanding the artillery of the 2(1
military division, has been named Commandant of the
Polytechnic School, in the room of General PONCE..
LET, who has been allowed to make good his clai:ns
to retire. General liimiEwr has been appointed
Commandant of the Artillery of the Ist military di-
vision.

The Sulut Public of Lyons, says :--e" The last news
received from America have checked the activity of
our manufacturers. L Orders come in slowly, and can-
not in part be executed, owing to the restrictions
placed on the manufactories by the American agents.
[he enormous quantity of manufactured goods, which
were produced by our manufactories, and also by
those of Switzerland and Germany, in the year 1849
and 1850, have also partially caused the present
slackness. The markets of New York, Boston, and
Philadelphia, are literally encumbered. The letters
received by the last steamers announce that sales by
auction were about to take place in different towns,
to get rid of the goods accumulated in the ware-
houses, and to free the capital which paid for them.
These sales at a loss will no doubt be beneficial
to us, but it is not probable that the effect of them
will be immediately felt. Among other causes of this
slackness, we must not forget the poor silk harvest in
France and Italy, and consequently the high price of
that article. The silks, in fact, keep up at a price
which they have not had for a long time past, and the
letters we received from the fair of Aubenas, which
took place on the 15th, are not of a nature to cause
it to be believed that they will fall much for some
time."

The many trite and familiar sayings which bewail
the miseries of royalty and console the humble and
lowly, by the assurance
.that " uneasy lies the head
that wears a crown," receive a frequent and very
emphatic contradiction when we contemplate the
every-day life of Queen VICTORIA. In the accounts,
for example, of the pure and simple but apparently
not unjoyful festivities of Balmoral, we find some-
thing more than idle gossip to amuse the curious, we
discover abundant matter for thoughtful congratula-
tion. The most democratic of us all, who would re-
solutely refuse to bow the head to a throned
tyrant, even if invested with the genius or
girt about with the glory of a NAPOLEON, may
take a loyal pleasure in the domestic happiness
of a SOVEREIGN who has so admirably and so practi-
cally testified her acquaintance with a truth which
all rulers hitherto have found to be the most difficult
of lessons—namely, that the king is made for the
people, not the people for the king. So, while
other sovereignties, from the venerable dynasty of
Austria to the recent monarchy of the Barricades,
have become the sport of fortune, forgetful of the
truth aforesaid, Queen VICTORIA has found, with
every succeeding year, her throne more secure and
I her popularity more enthusiastic ; and now, when
the vicissitudinous career of Louis PHILIPPE has been
ended by a death of exile, while the heir of the
ancient BouanoNs is still a hopeless wanderer, while
NICHOLAS and FERDINAND, holding their crowns
with " the red right hand," rise the objects of
worldwide indignation and abhorrence, VICTORIA
saunters amid the wild beauties of Balmoral, not only
untramelled by the etiquette of state, but free
from all the cares and alarms which so often rack
the brain that wears a crown. The example is worth
consideration in these days of renovated constitution?.
It is applicable to all Governments, whether repub-
lican or royalist. No matter by what name the
supreme power be denominated, whether Emperor,
King, or President, that power springing from the
pcolle must be wielded fur and through the people
alone. Arbitrary power may be invested with a
temporary splendour, but it bears within itself the
elemen's of decay, whereas a liberal constitution,
such as that which we enjoy, and a Sovereign who,
ike Queen VICTORIA, regne mais ne gouverne pas,"
and finds her happiness in so maintaining the balance
of power, remains undi'turbed by the storms of fac-
tion or the tempests of revolutionary excitement.
Tnroned in the affections of her people, she can fled
leisure amidst all the cares of her supreme dignity to
participate in those domestic enjoyments which it has
been one of the principal objects of her reign to secure
to the meanest amang the numbers of our population.
She feels the tranquillity of her virtuous Court
guaranteed by the recollection of that con-
stitutional policy which for more than twelve
years has characterised the acts of her government.
Bearing this remembrance in mind, it is not possible
to look with indifference at the royal seclusion in
the gardens of Balmoral, where the descendant of
the House of Brunswick is sojourning, not only un-
leolested but beloved, encompassed by that loyal at-
tachment which Scotland formerly bestowed alone
upon the STUARTS. An instructive moral may be
drawn from the position of Queen VICTORIA, when
contrasted with that of the KING at Potsdam, or the
EMPEROR at Schcenbrunn, with that of the PRESI-
DENT at Paris, or the AUTOCRAT at St. Petersburgh.

ATHENS, SEPT. B.—An (vent of melancholy in-

during the week. Lord William Clinton, who has only been
here a short time, attached to the British mission, having
imprudently started on a tour in the interior during the very
great heats, returned here on Monday last danzorously ill.
In 48 hours he was a corpse, notwithstanding every attention
paid to him ; but it was evident from the eiret that he could
not recover, the fever having been raging within him for
several days, and without the means of obtaining any medical
assistance. He was followed to the grave by the diplomatic
body and the Engbah mission and the English residents
here. His Lordship was the fourth sun of the Duke of New-
castle, and was born on the 13th of January, 1815.

absence, or to increase the votes of the council in
certain cases. The vice-president, ordinary and ex-
traordinary councillors, the secretary, and the subal-
tern functionaries of the council of state are named
by his liocixess. No Councillor of State can exer-
cise the business of advocate or attorney. The coun-
cil of state discusses matters relating to government
or to administration, as well as to contentious affairs.
It is divided into two sections, one for Legislation and
Finance, the other for the interior. The former
section takes cognisance of all matters belonging to
finance and justice, the latter discusses all affairs re-
lating to the other Ministerial departments. The
more important matters referred to the council of
state consist in projects of new laws, the interpreta-
tion of existing ones, questions of competence of
Ministers, the examination of municipal laws, and of
the acts of provincial councils, and all affairs directly
sent to the council cf state by the Pore. The power
of the council of state in nun contentious matters is
merely consultative ; its resolutions, whether taken
in the general or in the sectional sittings, are consi-
dered as mere opinions. In all contentious matters
of administration, the council exercises the functions
of a magistrate within the limits to be determined by
a special regulation. The Ministers may ha
present at the general and at the sectional
sittings. When, at a general bitting, the
cardinal president or the vice-president de-
clares the discussion closed, the council imme-
diately proceed,: to the vote. Six council-
lors,plreesri

three councillors present, two of whom must be ordi-
nary. All the' members present sign the resolution
or opinion which they have voted ; it is then submitted
by the president to the Pore, if the affair has been
sent by him to the council ; if not it is submitted to
the Council of Ministers, or to the competent Mi-
nister, upon whose report the PoPE decides. The
general sittings of the council of state take place
once a week—the sittings of the sections twice a week.
The cardinal president may convoke extraordinary
sittings when he thinks proper. The ordinary coun-
cillors and the secretary have a fixed salary. Both
these laws bear the date of the 10th.

The Piedmontese Gazette of the 16th publishes an
official contradiction of the rumour of an outbreak in

British Consul at Rome.

MANSION-IJOUSE.-(THIS DAY.)
Barney _Hagan and Mary Hagan, father and daughter
were brought before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, the latter
charged with stealing a valuable brooch, the property
of her master, and the former with having it in his
possession.

It appeared that the male prisoner went yesterday
afternoon to a pawnbroker, named Harrison, in the
Minories, to pledge the brooch, but some suspicion being
entertained a policeman was called in, and he was given
into custody. He said he had received the brooch from
his daughter, who was a servant, but he pre-
tended not to know where she lived. It was,
however, ascertained that she was in the employ
of Mr. Benjamin Meyer Louis Rothschild, a
jeweller, who carried on business at No. 2, South-street,
Finsbury, and on the policeman going there he saw the
female prisoner, who, on being questioned, admitted
having hal a brooch in her possession, but said it had
bcen given to her by a boy two or three months ago,
when she was passing through Petticoat-lane, and that
she had lately made a present of it to her sister. An
interview was then obtained with her master, who said
the brooch belonged to him, and that he had lost it for
eight days.
The prosecutor, who was called, identified the brooch,
which he said had been stolen front an iron safe in his
counting-house. The female prisoner had only been
about ten or twelve days in his service.
Both the prisoners were remanded until the evidence
of the pawnbroker could be obtained.

WESTMINSTER.--(THIS DAY.)
Mary Cumming was charged before Mr. Burrell with
an assault on Sarah Ferguson.
Sarah Ferguson stated that she met the defendant in
St. Martin's•lane at half-past seven last night, when she
abused her; saw ber again about half•past eight in
York-street, when she again called her bad names, and
struck her with such violence as to knock her down,
when she stabbed her with a pair of scissors in her neck,
and inflicted a terrible blow on her eye.
Mr. BURRELL (to complainant)—What is the cause
of defendant annoying you? Complainant—l was some
time ago witness against her, when the bad 21 days for
stealing a purse, and she has been annoying me ever
since.

The prisoner denied having interfered with com-
plainant till she struck her, when she being the strongest
woman, got the best of her. Sho denied having had
scissors or anything else in her hand. Complainant had
constantly taunted her since she had been in prison.
Fined 51., or two months' imprisonment.

Price and William Hicks, about blasting a quarry, which is

the afternoon of the day in question Price, having armed
hiniielf with a loaded gun, went to the quarry, accompanied
by his son-in-law, a man named James Bryant, and ordered
Hicks's men to leave off working ; they declined to do so,
apon which he said, " If you do not desist I will shoot you,"
and Bryant said, " `hoot them, shoot them, I'll stand the
racket." Price immediately levelled his gun, and shot a
man named Joseph Pearce, shattering his hand to p'eces.
The poor fellow was immediately removed to our Infirmary,
where he now lies. Intelligence of the outrage having been
conveyed to P. S. Hazen, No. 70, that active officer, assisted
by P.C. Porter, 71, succeeded in apprehending the offenders,
Price and Bryant, who were taken before Mr. Hughes, by
whom they were remanded to await the recovery of Pearce.

CAUTION AGAINST GOING ON RAILWAYS.—On
Wednesday last a fatal accident occurred on the South Wales
Railway, near Skewen. Whilst one of the trains was passing
along at a rapid rate, an old man on crutches, between eighty
and ninety years of age, got knocked down by one of the
carriage=, and had his leg fractured in two places. He suffered
so much that he expired yesterday. From what we have
learnt, the accident was entirely the result of his own impru-
dence. He has been warned off the line frequently, but to
no purpose. When the train came in sight, he was seen
standing on the line, and although the engine-driver sounded
the whistle, put on the breaks, and took every possible pre-
caution to attract attention, the poor old fellow took no
notice, and thus fell a victim to his want of caution and dis-
obedience of orders. —Cambrian of Friday.
We regret to hear that the Bishop of London, who

A PACT FOR THE PROTECTIONIST?.-At the
weekly meeting of the Board of Guardians of the Swansea
Union, held yesterday, there was not a single application for
relief from one of the seventeen agricultural parishes com-
prised in this union. The only applications made were by
parties residing in the town, and those numbered only two.
Some months ago, the business of -the Bard generally en-
gaged the attention of the chairman and the guardians from
ten till four o'clock in the attrnoon. For some weeks past
the number of applicants for relief has diminished so nancli
that the business has not detained them more than a few
hours. Such has been the effect of in the Swansea
Union. Cambrian of Friday.

ACCIDENTS ON THE RIVER.—On Thursday two fatal
accidents took place on the river.' The first was that of a
boy named John Walker, aged 10 years, who was employed
on a barge moored off the
'funnel Pier, Wapping, and who
whilst walking al,ng the side of the vessel fell overboard.
An alarm was raised, and every exertion made to save him,
but he never rose to the surface of the water, and was conse-
quently lost. The body has not yet been found. The
second accident happened to a man named James Conway, a
mariner belonging to a vessel called the Scarborough, lying
off Hermitage-stairs, near the London Docks. He by some
means fell overboard, and before assistance could be afforded
was carried away by the tide.

In Russia there are special hospitals for the use of
the distressed nobility. An official notification, in the last
number of the Police Gazette of St. Fetersburgh, makes
known that in consequence of the closing of one of the nobles'
hospitals, in that city, a new one of o 6 beds is to be opened
for male nobles in the town of Oboukhoff.

to give this proof of my confidence in, and my feelings

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
There is again an aop4rent anomaly in the weekly
return of the, iiink of England to the 14:6 inst., since,
in the face of larger advs•nees upon securities, there is
no addition to the circulation; on the coutrary. It is,
however, still the public deposit account that is the cause
of this ri jecti.m or return of notes, and until the qlsr-
terly payments begin, we can expect no alteration in
this reap -ct. The private balances were lessened a little
to meet the usual requirements of the mercantile com•
munity while the transfer books are closed. The bul-

cipal cities of tho Continent was effected yesterday after•
noon upon somewhat lower rates for 90 days' paper:—
Paris 25 50 to 55, Hamburgh 13 10 to 104-, Amsterdam
12, 1 to 2, Frankfurt 1201 to is and Trieste 11, 54
to 58.

The sudden revulsion in the market prices of Railway
Shares, after the late rapid advance, may be appropriately
demonstrated to have: no reference to traffic, but to be
rather the result of speculation and profit realisations.
Taking all the railways of the United Kingdom, we
shall find but a very limited number that did not last
week experience an increase of traffic. An analysis of
the takings shows an excess to the following amounts
compared with the like peri,,d of 1849:—Aberdeen 8911.,
Caledonian 569/, Eiinburgh and Glasow 3481., North
British 5741.

YANKEE RAT TRAP.—Among the list of new
patents issued in June last, is one for an invention of Mr.
Stephens, of Maryland, whereby he has endeavoured to
bring the science of optics to aid him in constructing a trap
for catching rats. In this new trap a mirror is so arranged
that the rut wiJich looks at the bait shall see his own image
reflected in such a position as will lead him to believe that a
second rat is trying to get before him
.in seizing the bait;
and when the first rat has been caught, his image will be re-
flected by:a mirror, so that the next rat who shall look at'the
bait shall see two rats apparently striving to seize it, thus
decoying him upon the turning table, which yields to his
weight and precipitates him into the body of the trap._
Lowell Courier.
We regret to learn that Christopher Kreeft, Esq.,
Consul-General for his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of
Mecklenburg-Schwerin, died rather suddenly on Thursday
last, at his residence in town.
The boats of the fishermen at Scarborough have
been so loaded within the last few days with herrings, cod-
fish, and salmon, as to make fish attainable almost for
nothing. Herrings in Sunderland are ten a penny. Codi
fish, weighing from Six
for 6d, each. to eight pounds, have been sold them

The accounts from Yerksbire describe trade as being
very active, but in Lancashire it is rather duller again.
There are adviees of May 26 from Port Phillip. The

A feeling of extreme di.gust has been excited by the
announcement that the Spanish Junta of Public Credit
would not adopt the plan of the English committee, or
even suggest any other. The following is a notice on
the subject:—
" The Committee for regulating the debt of Spain,
whilst admitting the justice of our claims and the mode-
rate terms of proposed compromise, have declined to re-
commend their acceptince to the Government, upon the
plea that Spanish Finance is not equal to sustain the
burden which those terms would entail upon it, and they
abstain from suggesting any other at present.
"JAMES CAPEL.

"Friday evening, Sept. 20, 1850."
The value of Spanish Five per Cents. has been re
duced from 19# to 14 ; while the Three per Cents.
have touched 38 to 38k, being considered all the surer
as long as nothing is paid on the rest of the debt. Mexi-
can Bonds are 301 to 30i, being barely so good. Por-
tuguese Four per Cents. are 331 to 33g.
to Mining Shares rather more than an average
business has been done this week.

Railway Shares are heavy again, and with much less
doing.
