Tuesday Jan. 7, 1852.
The Royal Mail steamship Cambria arrived
here at o'clock last evening.
ENGLAN0.-Two great events had transpred
IN the course of the few days preceding the de-
PaEture OF he steamer, each capable Of serious
Iy influencing the character of all commercial
operations. First, the resignation of the Sec
refary for Foreign Affairs, und the other, the
election OF Louis Napoleon by large majority,
as President Of France for ten years. A tenn.
porary dlsarrangement of the various markets,
and the decline ofprlces in many occurred, but
when 1t became known that Lord Granville
was to succeed Lord Palmerston, confidence
became IN some measure restored. Lord Pal
meTston had suddenly retired from the office of
Foreign Secretary, to the amazement and re-
gret of the whole nation
ms astounding act is imputed to the dssen
sons which were know to exist in the Cabinet
tor several months, and was precptated by the
significant reception and emphatic ayowal of
OPINION to the kossuth deputation, to whom his
lordShP used language by no means compli-
mentary to the ubsolulsts of Europe. The
fearless position assumed by his Lordship,
proved distastetu to the majority of the Minis
try. and hence the result.
From the manufacturing districts the reports
OF the first portion Of the week were of a cheer.
ing nature, and merchants had been making
purchases evidently in antc patton of increas-
ing business, with the turn of the new year.
FRANCE The all engros,ing topic of the
PRESIDENTIAL election was occupying the French
mind TO he exclusion Of all others. The Pres
ident was, throughout the whole of France, still
IN possession OF an overwhelming majority,
winch was reported as likely to be greater than
that OF lS47. Ten to one, and nine to one
seem 10 be generally the odds in his favor.
Inc telegraphlc report from Paris gave as
the votes OF 81 departments, Of which % were
complete, Yes, Col GOO; No, 100000
Many OF the Deputies had been set at liberty,
ana much speculation was INDUCED in as to the
new press law 10 be shortly promulgated. The
best informed think that each journal would
have to deposlte certain sum with gov
ernInent as security for their good behavior
the offences OF the press we're to be-the
first, an attack on the President: second, incit-
ing hatrd among citizens; third, an attack
upon religion, family or property each Of
fence was to be punished by fine and imprison-
ment.
SPAIN.-A telegrahic despatch had been re-
ceved via Paris, stating that the Queen had
been safely delivered Of a robust Princess, on
the Goth.

a CHRISTMAS HYMN.

1t was the calm and silent night!
Seven HUNDRED years and iitythrer
Had Rome been growing up to might
And now was queen ot land and sea
No sound was heard Of clashng wars
Peace broOded DER the hushed domain:
Apollo, Palas, Jovc and Mars,
Held undlstu,bed their ancient reign,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago!
Twas in the ca i'm and silent night
The Senator OF naughty Rome,
impatient urged his chariol's fly
From !orJly revei rolling home
Trunpha arches, cleaning, swell
tbs breast with thoughts OF boundIess sway :
What re, keJ the Roman what befe
a paItry province far away,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago
Within that province far away.
Went plodd,rg home weary boor:
A streak oi light before hm lay,
Fallen through half shut sable door
Across his path. He paused, for nough;
Told what was going Oh within:
How keen the stars his only thought
Inc AR how calIn and cold, ana thin,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago.
Oh, strange Indifference low and high
Drowsed over common Joys and cares:
The earth was still, but knew not why;
The world was lisenlng-lnuwares
How calm moment may ptecedr
One that snail thrill the world forever
TO that sull moment none would heed,
Mans doom was linked no more to sever.
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago
1t is the calm and silent night!
a Thousand bells ring ont, and throw
Their Joyous peals abroad and smiie
The dnrkness--cha.nIed aud holy now!
The night that erst no shame had worn.
10 1t happier name is given;
For III the stable law, new born,
The peaceful Prince OF earth and heaven.
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago

MosETARy.-We extract from the financial CO
lumn of the New York Express Of the 20th instant
the following paragraph:
The astounding results Of gold mining in Aus
ITALIA, the news Of which brought by the Arctic
taken i'm connoxion with our own Calilornia pro
duction, has created a profound sensation in Eng
land and is equally calculated 10 make an imprcs-
sion here What the effect will be Of the continued
streams Of gold from these apparently inexbausti-
bic reservoirs the affairs OF mankind puzzles the
most astute and sagaciOus minds in the world Of
finance. There is no Engagement, however, that
this uncsrthing Of vast quantities Of the precious
metals will cheaper the price Of money, and Ia
equal ratio hcghtcn the value of property To tho
world at large it is OF consequence whether one
country or another IL the owner Of mines Of tho
precious metals. The metals will follow the cOurso
Of trade, and are, therefore, not confiUod to the
place Of production. They are Of universal usc. .
and received in payment for the results Of labor at
fixed value, and will finally reach those nations
that supply necdful articles. England will DO
the disbursing point from whence the mctals
will be differed over the trading world Tho
effect VI this cbeapcning Of the price Of money
is seen in the steady advance OF consols, which
arc at nearly par, and will very probably be
at par or above in a short time The British row
eminent will doubtless avail themselves of this r,
voribc condition OF the money market To reduce
their expenses, by rcimbursng The three per cen. s.
and ssuing two and a-half per cent stock This
will induce capitalists 10 LOOK round for safe invest
ments at higher rates of interest; and as American
stocks which pay better interest are now sought
Tor in London with nvdty, they will absorb large
amount If the surplus capital seeking invest
ment. u is in this way TO participate in
the surplus Of the gold product from Australia;
and from the course OF the exchanges ne they now
appear, there is little or no prObab ity that We
shall have occasion TO ship specie from hence for
several motths. Before that time arrives tho gold
in the banks will exceed twenty millions Of dollars.
The time has arrived when the banks in this cOun.
try will obtain their share Of the precious mctals;
30 they have been the mere agents to receive and
"A ne
portstons will no doubt be large, because our wants
are large. With greatly Increasing population
we consume more than formerly, bot we produce
moro also; yet, Notwithstanding la rgc importa
tons IT IL safe TO cay that there s no very great
probability Of an extra demand for money during
tho present year"
