As for the au- thority of the ministers, it is to be wished that it were somewhat greater. They are men of acknow- ledged merit. M. Dufreane, Minister of Foreign Aflairs, of the Interior, of War, and of Marine, would shine in the most civilized countries. He is clear mulatto. M. Solomon, Minister of Finance and of Commerce, and M. Francieque, Minister of Justice and of Worship, are jet black. In concla- sion, and to resume ae peerel impression of Hayti, I must say, that I found the elements of civilization in a country Which has been sw, to be com- pletely plunged in barbarism. In all social rela- tions I have only had to congratulate myself on the character of the inhabitants. The highways af- forded a security which appears fabulous. In the towns I met all the charms of civilized life. The graces of the Indies of Port au Prince will never be effaced from my recollection. ‘The New West india Mall Routes, [From the London News } The tables of routes for the packets of the Royal Mail Steam Peeket Com pany? commencing from | o> August, 1850, have been printed. | These tables are issued for the guidance, principal ly, of the Admiralty agents and commanders of the packets, and are ecarcely intelligible to any one else.

Having been created a general of division under Richer, he we owed his election as Empe- ror to the accident of his name having been men- tioned in the Senate at the moment when the votes were divided betweem two candidates, neither of whom had a sufficient majority. He then be- came the meana of conciliation bet ween the par- ties. © The blacks voted for him on account of his ebony skin, the mulattos because they thought Pw had no reason to fear the ambition ol one who had till then been quite unknown. But the latter were not long in discovering that they had givea to themselves a masterand not a flexible instra- ment. Hence proceeded the eanguinary events of the month of April, 1848. Soulouqne triumphed in consequence of his displaying a terrible energy of character. His victory was disgraced by some frightful exe- cutions. Perfidious counsellors drove him in- te a course of vengennes, speaking of nothing less than extermineting the whole colored race, who form the fifi of the population of Hayti In this state of matters the consul general of France acquired forever the gratitude of humanity In the midst of the balls which whistled through the streets of Port-au-Prinee, he repaired to the chief of the etate, and succeeded, after reiterated eflorts, in obtaining from him an amnesty, which try indignant at that?

The ist is called the Atlantic and Chogree route, twice a month; the 2d, the Jamaica and Mexican route, once a month ; 3d, the Jamaica and Havana route, once a month ; 4th, the Barbadoes ond Demarara route, twice a month ; Sih, the Trinidad ronte, twice a month; the 6th, proclaimed Emperor. zens addressed, on the 2%th of Aagust, 1840, 8 petition to the Chamber f Representatives, ting to call at Santa Martha. This then is the mun trenk line which is so important, beeause it shows what commuuication is to be established ‘o this country and the Isthmus of Panama, in which co much interest has been excited. The main line steamer will not go direct to Chagres from St. Thomas, will call at Santa Martha and Carthagena om her way, The time out te Chagres from Southampton will be twenty-three days, twenty-three hours; and the time home from Chagres to Southampton will also be twenty- three days, twenty-three hours. From the time of the stesmer’s arrival at Chagres until she leaves that port again, a period will elapse of fifteen days. During this period the steamer will go to Grey Town and back, and wait for the Pacific mails, and for any thls hapa for Europe from California and Panama. The steamerreaches Southampton from Chigiee by the present scheme in thirty-tive days. By the new seheme it will reach in about tweaty- four days. This, therefore, is a great impreve- ment; aad it will seanceny be possible for anything, by any conceivable accident, to arrive in ‘agland from Chegies by way of New York so quickly as this, and myst generally throughout the rent pas- sengers and mails would be a considerably longer time reaching England. ‘There cannot bea vege therefore, but that the West India company by the new scheme secure the conveyance of everything bound from Chagres to Europe, which 1s the great object they have in view. It may be asked why should the steamer stay so long at Chagres, and why not come direct from that port to Southampton, without calling at any place but St. Thomas, and thus render it impossible for any- thing to reach Europe quicker via New York ? The Times repeatedly stated that this would and ceuld be done, but it was proved in the Duily News that if this were done the Mexican mails would be left behind at St. Thomas, on account of the much er distance between St. Thomas and Vera ruz than between the former place and Chagres. Some delay ot the Chagres steamer must take lace, and the steamer might as well be Seaplcres touching at Grey Town and Carthagena, and in waiting at Chagres arrivals from Panama, as be detained for the Gulf steamer at St. Thomas. In the following table will be found the time a letter from England will take phon pe of the es comprehended in the new scheme.

As the time for a letter reac! ing England from any place comprehended in the West India scheme is about the same as that stated in the above table, we can see how Jamaica will be affected by the new arrangsments. The inhabitants of Jamaica have beem particularly in- terested in the diepute as to the route of the mails, because that island lies in the route of the Ameri- can steamers between New York and Chagres; and the inhabitants have insisted, on account of the importance of Jamaica, upon having their con- venience particularly attended to by the West India Company; and if this could not be done, that their mails should go via New York. Now the Hibernia, which arrived in England on the 1th instant, brought news from Jamaica up to the 18th ultimo, that is, twenty-four days old; but, by the new scheme, even with the mt West India packets, a letter will not be er reach- in, Hapland from Jamaica than twenty-two days. The ‘est India Company, it appears, have guaran- teed that as soon as they can possibly build new vessels, steamers of as Day power and speed as have yet been obtained, ll be put on the main line between Southampton and Chagres. They will then be able to lessen the course of post between England and the places their vessels touch at, di- minish the time a letter takes for being conveyed from one port to another, and still allow the inha- bitants of those places as much time for answerin| their correspondence. The periods for the arrival of the steamers at Southampton, a to the new scheme, are on the Mth and 1%h of each month, at midnight. The Mexican mail will be brought to England by the steamer, which arrives at Southampton on the 4 Havana and Hon- duras mails by the one which arrives on the 19th. Thome, Jamaica, and Grenada. ‘The length of a, " length o| the Chagres route is 9,874 miles; the Mexican possibly route of the Beso scl nine days, route, 4,062; the Havana, 3,996; the Demerara, 1,888, the Trinidad, 702 ; "and the Nassau route, 1,720 miles. To compensate for the short month of February, the intercolonial steamers are to leave their several termini one day earlier once every year to meet the out ship of the 2d of March.

The followi res exhibit the net results of a comparison of the principal items for the quarter, and also for the year, just ended:— tue Quastse nawe brn Jovy, 1850. £28,996 6405 Income tax. . Post office... ~ 2 £542.408 £25,335 Adding a like increase from miscellaneous sources, the whole balance of increase, from the ordinary branches ef the revenue, is £518,104; a sum ae than we expected, in consequence of unusually large sums having ‘been paid in on the Inet di bout £70,000 to the customs, and about tothe excise Fou rue Yuan Bi 352.000 £1,232 504 £103 680 If we add £30,000 for increased proceeds of the Crown Londs, and £5,180 from other sources, the net increase on the year, for the ordinary revenue, is £1,164,904. The decrease upon customs for the year, and the increase on the quarter, is mainly accounted for the reduction of the suger duties from July, 1849, and by hed receipts from imported cora. es have been gee 2 imereased by the er consumption of malt, and the greater quantity of spirits made, as well in consequence of a larger demand as of a partial tponement of both malting end distilling by the [aterionny of the barley crop of 1848—and partly, also, by the failure of the hop harvest and the postponement of pay- ment of the duty last year. ‘he payment of stamp daty has, very naturally, been put off lately, wherever it was feasible, ia or- der to obtain the benefit of the new scale yet under discussion in Parliam nd at firet announced to come into operation a e Sth instant. Hence the reduction on the quart hich we may expect to ree more than belanced by a subeequent increase of the receipts. On torning to the account of income and cha for the July quarters of 1849 and 1850, we find legitimate results of this Prosperous state of the revenue, In the “ charge” for the latter, we find a new item of £634,625, set down to the sinking fi applied in reduction of the national debi and also observe that while the miscella charges on the consolidated fund for the e been redueed from £429,240 to £368, advences,” during the same period, have the fallen from £398,077 to £291,823. heey income for the quarter is, this year, about ),000 larger then in \s49, and some diminution of expenditure. adding to the surplus, has enabled us to wipe of £030,000 of the permanent debt, besides redaciag to marrow limite the amount paid for interest on Exchequer bills afloat, while the revenue coines in to meet current expenditure. Crime in France. The Minister of Justice has addressed a report to the President of the Republic, containing a ge- nerel account of the administration of justice in 1847, a year remarkable for the dearness of food. The following is the substance of this interesting document — Compared with the two preceding years, the year 1847 presents a considerable increase in crime. In 1846, for exemple, the court of assize tried 5,077 cases, and 6,908 accused ; in 1845, 5,054 case: 6,685 accused, whilet in 1847 there were 5,857 cases and 8,704 accused. In 1847, then, there was, com- pared with the two preceding years, an incre f about 800 cases, that is 16 reent, of one-sixth ; and of 1,900 accused, or per cent, or nearly three-tenthe. Since 1825, when the accounts of ertaninal justice were first published, it is 1847 whieh presents the greatest number of accusations and awcused; the years 1845 and 1A46 are, on contrary, those in which the number dew adversaries.

The ac- cused of all other deseriptions of crime against fees, increased in a manner more or less sensi- le. Thus, highway rebbe: increased 52 per cent, and certain other descriptions of robbery 26 percent. There were also persons aceused of the pillage of corn and flour, whilst the annual average number of such offenders from 1841 to 186 did not exceed twenty. In 1847, there was for all France one accused for eve! carried away. It is stated that there were. of the crew Cioh at the time, and four aneaey into the sea, one of them not to rise again, while the others were thrown with great violence on the deck, Of the latter, two, named William Gibbs and George Bethell, were killed on the. spot, and ethers, sustained sg saber.

It is remarkable that bachelore-torm every year more than half of the total number of accused ; in 1847, there were 4 out of 8,704 accused, that is, 636 per 1,000.
