NapOleOn's Speech to the French Senate and
Corps LsgfsiatiE

PARIS, Jan. s.-The Senate aud Corps Legislatie
assembled to-day. The session was opened by tho
emperor in person. with q speech from the throne.
He said the task before them was a serious one,
viz: To conduct a government strong enough to
repress the excelsior, while all the benefits Of
liberty and laws, making concessions to the press
and granting the right OF public meeting. had the
effect Of preserving quiet, and the fact that the
recent elections resulted in favor Of the govern
ment, confirmed the justice and wisdom Of these
concessions
The laws providing for military reorganization
had given strength and confidence to the nation,
which was now ready to meet all events OF the
future. The armament OF the forces was perfect,
the arsenals were tlled with supplies, the reserves
well drilled, and the reorganization of the Ma
tonal Guard approached completion. The fleet
had been recruited, and Notifications at all i'm
portant points we're IN good condition. The inn
perial wish was realized: France was replaced
as 10 indicate her status in the destines OF the
world. Peace had been heretofore sought, not
because of weakness, but to sustain the honor OF
the state.
The revolution in Spain had not altered the good
relations of France with that country. The con-
ference which has just terminated its session and
which would extinguish a conflict which had be-
come imminent, was the last grand act, the Im-
portance of which all should appreciate. The
members OF that body had ell agreed on prin-
ciple calculated 10 restore friendship between the
Turks and Greeks, of the firm hopes and success
OF which they entertained should be realized
Nothing would be left TO trouble the general har-
moDy of the natiOns-the chambers would attend
to the internal development OF the country. mainly
through its agricultural interests. and might pos
sby seek to bring about q reduction in the public
charges.
The emperor referred TO the approaching re.
election OF the Corps Legislatif; Congratulated
the men bers on the harmony which existed be-
tween the throne, the legislature and the people
and declared that Re had forwarded full and free
discussion when II: did not touch the Constitution.
that instrument was above all debate, and he ex,
allied the benefit which 1t had conferred upon the
country.
The emperor concluded as follows: All govern.
meDts are liable 10 error. Fortune declines 70
smile on all enterprises, bat the country knows no
thought, no act OF mine. which has not bean
given to the glory Of France. II knows that
first sought to create vigorous control Of the
administration, and then TO enlarge the powers OF
deliberate assemblies TO prove that the true sun~
port Of the government Is in the independence and
patriotism OF the great bodies Of the state soon
the nation in the elections will mark the path in
which all must follow, and will repeal the reiee-
ton OF the revolution, and its desire TO wound the
destnes OF France, or the intimate union of DOVER
and liberty. r'"'A

FRIDAY MORNING. JANUARY 20, 1859.

IMPROVING THE VALUE OF CoTTOS SEED.-The
attention of planters and others Interested is
called to the following suggestions for largely
increasing the value of what has hitherto been
looked upon as an unmportant part of the cotton
cIop-the cotton seed.
This article has long been used for feeding
stock, but owing to the Injurious effect of the hull
and lint, the result has been generally unsatisfac-
tory. No doubt exists, however, as to the kernel
of the seed, when Invested of the hull and lint,
being a safe and nutritious food for stock, and
particularly so when mixed in proper proportion
with rough food, say corncob and shuck, crushed
and ground up together.
Allowing that the kernel can be safely used as
food for stock ON the plantation, and that the
seed, with the hull and lint on, cannot, the ques-
ton is, what would be the difference to the planter
between hulling and using it himself and of send.
ing il to this city for sale
The only means the writer has at hand for esti
mating the value of the hulled seed, is by taking
the price of cotton seed oil cake 10 this market as
q basis. This cake is the residue of the kernel
after the oil has been expressed from it by
immense hydraulic pressure; it is sold in large
quantities for use here and for export to England
at about II cents per pound, or at about the same
price per pound as corn. 1t is fair to claim that
the kernel has, at a low estimate, double the
amount of nutritive and fsttenng property of the
cake, thus making it worth at least 81 cents per
pound.
The figures stand thus: 1000 pounds seed,
yielding about so per cent. of kernel, equal to
loco pounds, at 3 cents, sS5; 1000 pounds seed,
present average value on plantation, say S..
Total, $50.
Allowing 1000 pounds spare seed for each bale
cotton, these figures show a saving of SIS per
bale. amounting to $37 100000 on a crop OF
2,5O0,OOO bales.
The labor in hulIing the seed is no greater than
required for bagging it, and the bulls are ample
fuel where steam is used; or if manure is re.
euired, they can be used for that purpose.

IFS novelty, to hear Of the Radical side of the
House denounce knavery and corruption. The
way of this singular occurrence was this. Our
readers are posted, We suppose, about the
endesvors that the Senate has made to get the
per diem paid of members of those committees
authorized to sit during the recess. The House,
however, refused to make an appropriation for
such payment; they agreed, however, to pay the
members Of committees authorized to sit by joint
resolution but not of those sitting by the authority
of one house only. So the first appropriation bill
was defeated. day or two since the Senate,

The enterprisiDg and wealthy men Of New Or
leans are fast letting slip through their fingers
one of the most enduring and profitable enter
prises started in this country. 1t is the en-
terprise originated and carried out by the National
Telegraph Company, whose center is in New
York city, and whose lines of communication are
destined to embrace every business point in the
United States, both by the sea board and through
the interior. As this powerful corporation have
made q successful negotiation with the French
Transmarine Telegraph Company, which has al
already received the sanction and material aid of
the French government, the two will shortly form
network of electric cables all over the civilized
world, and extending even to the interior of Tur-
key, to China and East India. 1t is useless to
say that telegraph dividends are surprisingly
large that, generally speaking, yearly dividend
