Old Marshal SOult has at length resolved TO re-
sign The determination must have cost the vene-
rable hero many bitter SIGH tor he loves his place
and especially his pay, night dearly, and once, in
deed, vowed that he would never part with them
but with his life. But old age and intirmiues break
down many sturdy resolutions. He will go into
private ilie carrying with hum the respect OF all his
contemporaries. HIS desire TO resign has been
warmly combaed both by the King and his col

up by the English, pursuant 10 Their treaty. Neither
the Government nor the Government organs have
thought fiji TO say whether there is is not as the
London papers assert, clause in the treaty con-
cluded between France and China, for giving up
this Isle 10 France after England shall have aban-
doneu II, II may venture guess on the subject,
should say that no such clause exists, or was ever
thought OF for II 1t had been In existence think
the ministerial newspapers would hardly have failed
70 vdunt loudly OF IT. Tor II would give intense salts
tacnon 10 the majority of the press and the people,
partly because they almost as fond of annexa-

II would be slap at perfde albion. The treaty of
commerce and friendship between the French and
Chinese was ratified by the Chinese on the 18th
August, IN the palace OF the commandant of the Chi
n-se forces IN the Canton river. The ratification by

treaty TO Europe, and took it back again to China
has accomplished prodigy of swift locomotlon
within one year he has twice visited China, India
and Europe.

whatever Generally speaking, American affairs en-
niasse, and the United States affairs In particular
have not been honored with much attention. during
the last fortnight, by our newspapers Abstracts OF

twaddle that they may be safely lett to oblivion.
Railway fever RACES with as much virulence in
TINS country as the same malady appears TO do on
your side OF the Channel. High and low, rich and
poor, gentle and simple, young and old, male and

From petition drawn up by the merchants OF Paris,
appears that twenty millions Of British money or
lie hundred millions OF dollars, are now locked up
IN railway speculation; and, from calculations that
1 myself have had occasionally to make, | am in
cllned 70 think that the amount IS really not less
than tl0,0OO,00O sterling, even 1t II be not -
The worst OF II IS that this enormous sum is not
employed In making railways but is deposited in
bankers hands, and lies idle and unproductive in
their strong boxes. The French Chambers have
adopted the system Of putting up great lines OF rail-
way 10 public competition, awarding them 10 COM
panes that will take leases for the shortest period
and agree to give them up, entirely constructed, and

an immense number OF companies each company
being compelled 10 raise the amount Of the capital

Luclen, and mother OF the prince, had previously
