Enghsh Feelings—Financial Reform Assocation +The Cholera and the Tooting Asylum—De fective State of the Law— Guizot’s Pamphia— ‘Theatres-—--Sub- Marine Telegraph---State of Trade— Emigration—General Intelligence. We are singularly destitute at this moment, of any particularly interesting topic. Public attention and curiosity are divided upon many subjects.— Foreign intelligence is with us now of decidedly the greatest importance, and accordingly ho- nored with the first thought. The despatches re- eeived from Paris are read by many an anxious mind besides those who have three per cents to look after, or railway shares to sell. In London, the anticipations indulged in with respect to France, are not, I regret to add, of the msst san- guine character. The proceedings of the young Tepublic are enshrouded in a labyrinth of myeti- cism that the Enghsh scarcely know how to pene- trate, and the uncertainty tells sadly on our mo- ney market. As far ashome news is concerned, every one seems anxious to discover who will be the First Lord ot the Admiralty. In addition to the names of those 1 gave on Monday, numerous re mentioned. Sir James m, Sir ‘ced, cum multis aliis, are amonget the number. Iti» more than probable that the present Chancellor rs ne Exchequer will ere qe ae ap- poimtment, for he 1s not a very popular budget ex- plainer, and: has got hiteself roughly handled dar- ing the Jast Parliamentary session. I have reason to believe the matter was decided at a cabinet council, which sat yesterday viree hours; but the selection will not be made public before next Tues- day’s Gazette. magnificent meeting of the Financial Reform Aeseciation was held on Wednesday, at Manches- ter, which was attended by all the principal mem- bers. The staff of the society is now publicly an- nounced, and includes many of those persevering advocutes of the late anti-corn law league. Mr. Cobden, Mr. Bright, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Milner Gib- son, are the leaders of the movement, and being allin Parliament, as well as supported by a pha- lanx of emment and talented men, the ends of the association will doubtless be effected with as bril- hant success as their late crusade against protec- tion. The whole of the gentlemen I have men- tioned spoke on Wednesday, and met with the greatest applause. The newspapers (those which are favorable to the movement) are lending their aid, and the principles of the association are in al- most every one’s mouth. It is one of the boldest attempts ever made to re-construct the machinery ota eanntry, in the world; and if successtul or not, will surely be met in that cae ot d-fellowship which has been the main feature of the actions of the society. Cobden’s speech was most brilliant. In my letter 1 mentioned that the cholera had raged severely at one of the asylums a few miles out of town. Itts the practice of several of the gh pute parishes to get rid of their very young and very aged poor for a eertain number of years, by paying a fixed price foreach. At Toot- ing there 18 an institution of the kind, containing above 1,400 persons, in which this disease has broken out. A variety of reports are current res- eting the cause of the illness, which 1t would be Both imprudent and untair to make public in a newspaper report ; but a medical officer who visit- ed the establishment in question, intormed me there could be no doubt but that it arose from eat- ing an inferior kind of food, and also from the ab- sence of sufficient bodily comfort at this season of the year. Its also well known, and can be certi- fied, that the master has been making a profit of one shilling a week on each pauper, and Meaven knows that the parish authorities are not likely to gre too much money for providing for the super- uous poor. There have been about one hundred and fifty cases altogether reported to the Board of Health as proceeding trom this establishment, and from the returns it would appear that about twenty of this number occurred yesterday. About twenty- five deaths have taken place in the asylum. in various parts of the eountry the numbers are de- cidedly on the inerease; for upwards of one hun- soe and fifty additional cases are reported in one a ¢ n ot William Cobbett is in sad trouble. He is a prieoner in the Queen’s Bench; and so peculiar ie the nature of his offence, that he can only be hberated by personal application made to the sit- ting judges. This, however, 1s 80 contrary to legal etiquette, that when he appeals he commits a con- tempt of court. Term atter term has the applica- tion been renewed; but with no better success. It 18 melancholy to think that the English law should be in so impertect a state. Much, indeed, is the interference ot the ‘Society for the Amendment of the Law” required; for unless an alteration be made, he stands no chance of liberation. In the sporting world, the betting 1s entirely eon- fined to the approaching Wolverhampton steeple chaee, and the Chester cup. The interest excited 18 in NO way extensive ; in fact, the turf has never recovered itself. since the death of Lord George Bentinck. A The Employment of the Peor Society is getti on admirably. Jt is the association ot whieh have so irequently written, formed for the purpose of giving employment to poor people, in preference to sending them into the workhouse. The funds of the society are increasing. ‘The new oe just published, on democracy, 18 written by M. Guizot. It has had a large cir- culation, and 18 very highly spoken of. Itis not recisely the kind of publication that one would fave expected to proceed trom either the ex-Mi- nister of Louis Philippe or the author of the ‘ Hise somn of Civilization.” The Irench journals reter to its publication in terms of coasiderabie pleasure, and reportit to be an exceedingly clever work. In the theatrical world, I believe the only thing to be noticed is the reappearance of Mrs. Mowatt at the Marylebone, and Mr. Wailack at the Hay- market. The lady 1s playing 1n a new piece, en- titled the “Shadow on ihe Wall,” and creating an enthusiastic feeling of admiration in her tavor. Mr. Wallack has been on a bed of sickness for elxteen months, and on Tuesday made his bow after hie illness, in the sparkling play of “ Don Cwsar de Bazan.” Hus reception was very cheer- ing, and must have been highly pleasing to this favorite actor. Miss Cushman is performing at one of the provincial theatres in the same town in which Jenny Lind 18 singing. She (Miss Cueh- mun) ie drawing good houees. By the bye, [ must not ee that the elder Braham has been electritying large audiences at Exeter Hall, in singing some of his favorite songs at what are ‘ermed the Wednesday concerts. The Whitting- ton Institution and Club celebrated its anniversary last evening. Douglas Jerrold 1s the president of the ¢lub, and is aesisted by many literary men in the council. The entertainments were varied; but the great fact ei to show itself in the prosperous state of the society, which affords to those ot moderate incomes the same comforts and advantages as the most luxurious and high priced cl a Yesterday, some most interesting experiments were made to endeavor to ascertain the practica- bility of laymg down electric wires across the channel between Folkstone and Boulogne. The attempts were, it 18 gratifying to add, in every way satisiactory. The chief obstacle to be over- come seems to be to prevent the moisture from finding ite way to the wires, it having been already tound that in the railway tunnels the flutd 1s very tardy 1n its transit. To obviate this, a complete casing of Pe percha is being prepared, which wall be well soaked in sulphur. In consequence of the boisterous state of the weather when these experiments were made, it was deemed =e mile dent te carry the tteamer more than about a or two AWay 9% the naryy:; {hs distance, | ever, was suflicieat to test the eflicacy of tne eiple.

In the collection are some very ancient and valued books, which have fetched average prices. This ia the ‘last portion of the effects of the Duke ot Buckingham that will be submitted to public aue- ti jon, The feturns that are sent officially to London, from several of the large provincial towns, upon the subject of trade, are satisfactory. There are fewer mills stopping, and less working short time, than at any previous peried for some two or three years; and the operatives in the factories have lenty of work. The supply of corn from abroad fs Teported to have been extensive, which has lowered a little the selling prices. Importers are said to have experienced severe losses, in conse- ence of the arrivals. In London, large sales of West India sugars have been made; nearly 1,600 hogsheads went off briskly, 1m addition to a large quantity of Bengal and Havana that found ite way to the auction mart. The Murk Lane Alxpress, which ie the official organ, mentions that Kast India coflee fetched 378. ver cwt; Madras, 463, a 62s.; and Rio 27. perewt. In rice, cofiee, prices have been decidedly higher, and good parcels of each have been sold. The iroa- Mesters’ usual meeting has just come off, and much competition was excited. Prices are firm, there being a very tolerable demand, aud a disposition to satiefy it at fair profite. The latest quotations are precisely the same as those decided upon at the last quarterly meeting. : The enmgration movement is still going on, and particularly to Calitormia, where many hope to be able to have as much gold as they can carry.

English Jowrnatem and the New York Herald— Paris Letter Writers and Correspondents-- At- tempt of the Herald to Induce the Canadas to “ Fraternise”—British vs. American Steamships --Financial Reform. Tke American public are not aware how they are deceived and misled by statements in English journals, concerning every liberal and republican movement in this country—one feature peculiar to English journalism being to put an entirely dif- ferent coloring upon every thing democratic. It isthe more wonderful, because the press of this country are very much in the habit of accusing their transatlantic brethren, particularly their “Scotch Yankee friend, Bennett, of the Herald,” as he 1s familiarly termed, because he talks large and is too extravagant, sometimes, about his, coun- try. The Paris correspondents of the London press are eternally ridiculing the republic, and predicting outbreaks, bloodshed, end all of that kind of stuff, while things are moving on in the most quiet and orderly manner possible. . During our recent visitto Pzris, we found the same order and security that one finds in the city ot New York—nothing heard of Guarde Mobile-- allpertectly quiet; while at the same time, the Engheh letter writers were talking and writing about ‘fears and apprehensions” of the people; sending telegraphic messages to London, and all over the country, announcing ‘‘all quiet,” to make the People believe danger was apprehended, and outbreaks momentarily expected. Jt is the same with correspondents from all parts of the Continent, at the present time. Little do the people ot the United States know of the game played y Evgland in the election of the President of the French republic. It seemed to be the favo- nite wish of ry, aa that Prince Lous Napoleon might b2 elected, to accomplish which the aristocracy would have moved heaven aod earth. A republic ot 35,000,000, lying juet across the channel, was alto; ther’ too near to suit their aristecratic tastes and feelings, America being quite close enough. The most important feature of the news brought yy the last steamer, is the attempt of the New ‘ork Herald to allure the Canadas to fraternize with the United States. It will be seen that not only the Liverpool, but the London papers also, have exhibited slight symptoms of alarm, and say that the folly of parting with their colonies will be ditcovered when too late to prevent a separation. Last Tuesday’s Mercury contains an article headed ‘ English vs. American Steamship,” in which all the extraordinary passages made by the Cunard steamers are given, and compared with those made by the American steamers; and as the article was prepured by Mr. Fowler, the secretary ot the company, and published by authority ot Messrs. Mclvers, the agents and principal owners of these steamers, it Endoubtedly means some- thing. The follownig 16 part of the article:— “Instances of superiority of British steam vessels over those yet built in America, now so frequently oc- our that we should think Brother Jonathan was pretty well ied that he is no match for uncle John in thie We are glad to see africndly rivalry in matters, for by it the public are sure to benefit, talent, skill, and enterprise meet with their due reward. “The public will be gratified to leara that two new ‘Yessels, which will surpass all the others in size. splen- dor and speed, are about being laid down by the Bri- tish and North American Cempany, to replace the Acadia and Britannia”? A The financiat reform movernent is sweeping everything before it. Ithas alarmed the swarm- ing legions of the mendicant portion of the aristo- cracy, and shaken the very cabinet itself. The days ot profligate expenditure and family patron- age are numbered, and their funeral knell sounded. ‘he monster meetings at Manchester, Edinburgh, and other pieces, have tilled Downing street with dismay and anxiety. Cabinet council follows ca- binet council, and from the black looks of those who attend them, it 1s evident they are not of the affectionate kind. Our Paris Correspondence. The Dtssolutron. of the National Assembly—The Election of Vice President--Agitation among the Politicians-- Trade--Balls--The Theatres—The Reecptions--Are they Brilhant, §c., §c.? * Paris, Jan. 25, 1849. The last fortnight has brought out somewhat in Telief the relative positions and the reciprocal spirit which prevail between the president, the ministry, and the Assembly. The first important question which presented itself since the date of my last, was that which arose upon the project of M. Rat- teau, which [ mentioned in my letter, and which had for its object te fix the definitive dissolution et the present Assembly for the 19th March, the election of the new legislative Assembly being named for the 5th of that month. It was fully ex- pected that the Assembly would have rejeeted this project, and accordingly the committee appointed to report upon it, presented to the Assembly a report written by M. Grevy, of a most violent character, declaring in substance that the assembly should reject the project, and should sit without definite limit. | In short, it 18 evident that the object of the committee was, that the Assembly should continue in the exercise of its functions during the entire period of the presidency ot Prince Louis, To the surprise, however, of all parties, this report which seemed to be so entirely in harmony, not only with the feeling, but with the personal interests of the majority ot the Apr, ve Tejected, and the roject was, to use an Moglish phrase, A Ted—1n other words, it was deaides perooan are committee thowd be srpointed, and another re- port maae more in harmony with the sentiments ot the majority by which that report was rejected. Itis true that the majority who decided this was an extremely emall one, consisting of only 4 votes. 400 votes declaring for the rejection of the report and 896 against it. Bull it was considered that the Assembly became committed, by this vote, small as was the majority. | A few days later, aecordingly, another commit- tee was neminated to consider again and report upon the project of Mr. Ratteau; but great was the surprise of all the uninitiated on learning that this committee of 15 consisted almost exciuaively of mensbere who are in declarea hostility to the pro- ject and to the majority of the Assembly, and in- deed, that a majority of its members were violent Montognards, Grevy being himself among them, as well as M. Pierre Bonaparte, who nas lately rendered himself conspicuous by his violent epeecher, in public and in private, and who seems disposed to play over again the part of Philip nok minus 1 guillotine. it rumor, however, does not greatly belie him, he 18 not altogether averse to that instrument of terror 48 @ means of forcing the republic on the majority of the French nation. An anecdote is curren. in the salons here to the eflect that, at a dinner perty, @ speech wae made in his presence, sugar, and | and xt be ead not without us concent, to the effect | te upwards of three thousand pemmone, and it was that the revolution of February has beea foally cheated ; that the had beea foiled of their which a minority can pre 1s terror, and that for their parts they would themeeives be glad to see the guillotine once more erected and deified. cannot vouch for the truth of this, but at is circu- lated and generally believed. You will doubtless be puzzled to explaia how it was that the majority of the Assembly shouhi de- cide in tavor of the early dissolution ot that body, and yet that a committee sbould ve elecied by the Aseembly itself, which it was well known wo: report against such dissolution. This, however, mits of easy explanation. The decision made in the Assembly, im favor of early dissolution, was made by open voting, a di- vision having taken place, the names of tne. voted on the one side, and on the other, bein, published inall the journals. The constitueats at electors all over ihe country were, therefore, in- formed who the members were that desirea to perpetuate their power, and who, also, those were who did not fear to present themselves again to their constituents. Many, therefore, voted iu favor of early dissolution from fear of the effects of « contrary vote on the minds of the ¢ But the committee which was by ballot, by secret voung, and the public would remain ia igao rance of the supports of indefinite dissolution. Hence, the ccmmittee named represented the real wishes of the majority of the Assembly, which its open vote was constrained by public opinion. ‘This last commitiee reported, as was ex, against the project, 10 @ most ung d sease, end recommended the assembly to pass to the order of the day, in other words, simply to rejeet the propositions tor a speedy dissclution, or indeed, for any dissolution at all. At the time | write these lines, this report has not been presented to the Assembly, nor has any debate taken place upon it. In the debate, the di- vision which will take place must again be open, and itis, therefore, probable that an amendment will be carried which will either name an early day for dissolution, or so limit the number of lawe to be parsed by the Assembly betore its dissolu- tion, as to be tantamount to xing a dey In short, the opinion prevails that the mbly will be forced to dissolve itself, at the latest, sometume ia April, unlees, indeed, another revolution take place bt then—an event which 19 far from impro- le. By the conditions of the constitution, the Presi- dent was required to present three names to Assembly within one month atter his elect: among which the Assembly wus to electa President. As the President was proclaimed on the 20th December, it became uecessary te present these names on or before Saturday last. In- numerable speculations were afloat as to what names were likely to be preeented, and amo those circulated as probable were most ot the ing men of the country, except those who were publicly known to have announced that they would decline the office. Among these last were MM. Thieis, Molé, and Bugeaud. Among the names expected to be presented to the Aesembly, were mia Odillon Barrot, Lamartine, Dutaure, Vivien, Arago, Oudinot, Changarnier, and some others. ‘Within the last month, however, it was announced that M. Odillon Barret had resolved to retain his place in the cabinet, and to decline the candidate- ship to the Vice Presidency. On Thursday last, M. Leon Faucher, Miniser of the Interior, ascended the tmbune, and announced that he was about to deliver a mersage from the President. A proposed silence ensued, when the minister stated that he was authorized to present to the Assembly three names, among which a Vice-President was to be selected. He accordingly read the follow: numes, M. Boulay M. (de la Meurthe), Gener Baraguay d’Hulhers, and Vivien. The first two were received with such explosions of laughter, that the President of the Assembly tound himsell compelled to call the house to order, and to remind them that they were receiving a message from the chiet of the State, who was exercising, ac- cording to his discretion, a right conterred on him by the constitution, and that, therefore, such amapner of receiving 1t was higily indecorous. The House being d to order, the third name was listened to in silence. ‘This measure of the government was regarded as a trick played upon the Assembly, for the pur- pose of depriving 1t of its mght ot selection. It was said, that the first two names being persons who, from theig position, however respectable, had no re le ground tor expecting to be elected to the second place in the Stute, the As- sembly was placed under the necessity of electin; the last, who, though perhaps not the individ: they would have preferred, it there were a greater latitude of choice, was, nevertheless, a person of reasonable pretensions. | oad The result, however, like every incident in the revolunopary drama, was the last which could either bave been expected or calculated. By one of those unaccountable turns which are so charac- teristic of the times, the National Assemoly, which received the name ot M. Boulay, (de la Meurthe,) with shouts of laughter, and every ma: of ridicule and contempt, actually elected this in- dividual Vic2-President of the republic, by a large majority. The journals and the salons were muzzled, the next day, to guess what could have been the motive ot such a choice. Itis, however,now generally agreed that the object of the great Assembly of the nation was to spite the ministry. : a IT regret to be obliged to say, that the capital is once more in a state ot high agitauon. The con- flict between the powers of the State ; the antagon- ism between the ministry and the Aeron 3 the impotence of the minisiry, owing to ite not Lav: a majority in the Assembly, and yet its tenacity place, owing to its representing the great maj ty ot the nation, are all causes which combine 1n fill- ing the factious of every clase with hopes ot suc- cess, ‘The ministry, representing, notoriously, monarchical principles, and having submitted to the republic only trom neceseity, are distrusted. The republican party fears, and not without rea- €on, that any movement ii2ving for its object the re-establishment of monarchy, whether under one pretender or another, would be connived at by the government, hostile agit 1s tothe republic. The re- publicane, therefore are in alarmand on the alert. he clubs are in high activity,and the mostexciting harangues are nightly delivered inthem. The cry of “the republic in danger,” is not that which is now heard, but that “the republic 18 now lost.” The secret societies are organized, and in commu- nication with the clubs, the bureaux of the latter pelt the instruments of communication with the jormer. Those who dare not conspire in secret, commu- Meate with those who dare by those means. There are also the propagandist committees form- ed, who have funds at their disposal, by which they send delegates and emissaries through the countiy, to revive and reanimate the republican party. The government 1s aware of all this, and itis now said that they intend to present a law to the Assembly for closing the clubs. | It is probable, however, that this law will be rejected. In this state of things the general expectation is, that another revolutionary movement of some sort or other will break out. The leaders of the legitimiet party ar? adverse to a movement at present for the re-estab- lishment of the monarchy. They contend that the National Assembly, and the republic of the veille are doing their work for them admirably, and that the force of things will speedily, without any armed émeute, place Henn V. on the throne by acclamation, ¢ Bohapartists, meanwhile, are indignant at this, and they loudly proclaim their readiness te coulesce with the red republic in re-establishing the terior rather than submit to it. ‘The sincere and moderate republicat who desire to eee democratic institutions firmly established, unaltered and undefiled by terror, fear that they will be driven to the alternative either of submitting to a restoration of monarchy, or of joining the red republic, The socialists and communists, who would ovoid the terror, if their favorite theories could be carned without it, teel themselves driven to the alternative either of joining the red republic, or ot tendering their co-operation to the re-establishment of the empire, ow the condition that the emperor should accept, to some extent more or lese, their ot rineiple; ; Suc! he state of distraction ia which the country is now placed, between conflicting prin- eiples and parties.
