This grand reception will take place on the 6th inst. All the officials connected with the exhibition are invited.

The gates of the eity through which she will pass, where the keys, according to ancient custom, will be presented to | her, are being beautified and prepared for this pur- pore. Some say, however, that the Queen has sig- ified her wishes to decline that ceremony, and that therefore, on Ler entering the city proper, the keys | will not be presented to her. It is, after all, onlya badge of servility and an idle exhibition, and she shows much good sense in dispensing with old feudal follies. She certainly has shown herself in thisas in prepa ether things. to be a rare and sensible woman.

The Assembly afterwards (June 27) resumed the discussion on the proposition of M. St. Beuve, tend- 0 introduce the system of free trade into France.

But in France the case was quite different, as the direct taxes gave about 450,000,000f., the indirect about the same, so that while the revenues of the two countries were nearly equal, the manner in which they were mado was essentially different. el profoundly altered the isting in England, as it lower of consumption, and supplied the difference by means In that change England | their celebration many persons to that ancient city.

(Movement.) I will now, continued M. Thiers, speak of cattle. The great for land with respect to cattle is the mode car ; but in France, with railway transport, no » ue exists, andas many cattle as : _ please ca be ittroduceds But that introduction, Ys amounting to 20 per cent, would give a vio- lent to the class who now breed among | us. Likewise, if the duty on wool were lowered 80 | as to allow it to be sf t more freely from other countries, that step we interfere very essentially | with the ding of cattle in instance, | 1g of Pieardy, for 0. the envy of fo- | woo! is Ns reigners themselves. Ifedl satisfied that wool was not protected by a duty of 18 per cent, the duty would be ‘neufcient. M. St. Beuve has named to us M. Dollfus, who is an advocate for free trade; but Sn dey oo he not be? Hewishes to see caliooes introduced free, because he is a manu- urer of printed ones, and the change could not but be favorable to himself personally. In the same way, other articles of produce are all pro- tected in Franc perhaps, being the only one not sufficiently so. But let it once attempt to compete, free trade being established, with the wines of Spain and Italy, and its position will be infinitelyworse. M. St. Beuve has spoken of the high price of coal, which he calls the arms of peace; but he might just as well have called it the arms of war, for such, in the present day, it certainly is. @ difference between the price of English and French coals is caused by t! culty of transport; and yet, during she Laat Sienoee ears, the govern- ment has done much on that point, and the conse- quence has beer that French coal has sensibly di- minished. English coal at present arrives at Nantes, Bordeaux, Dieppe, &c. [fect the slightest change in your tariffs, and you will see English coal at once arriving, not at the seaports, but at Tours, Paris, and other large towns. What further con- sequence will there be? This—that French coal will be extracted from the pits in smaller quanti- ties, and the mining population, which is one so difficult to be formed! will be rapidly dispersed; likewise, that if you have a war, you will be obliged to procure coal from Belgiam, which willnot be uble, perhape, to furnish all you want, or, if she does, will make you pay for it a high price. Again, with respect to iron, which M. St. Beuve thinks can do without protection, | could demonstrate to you easily that since protection has sheltered it the trade has made such progress—the price being di- minished from 26f. to 22f. the quintal—that there 18 buta very slight difference at present between the French roduetion and that of England. In fact, the difference between the price of iron in the two countries is only from If. 50c. to 2f. 50c. the quintal, and that difference is eaused by the difficul- ty of the transport. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman then briefly remarked on the improve- ment which had taken place in the commercial situ- tion o1 France since the revolution of February, and then added—Ah, I can very well conceive that when a people has a small territory, like that of the three British islands, it should feel the greatest anxiety tohave foreign markets opened to it; but when a country has a market like France, it ought to endeavor to keep it to itself, and then give what is not wanted to others, if any such remainder there should bappento be. (Laughter.) Just see what ogress France is making. In I she produced Fos 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 of cotton thread or twist—at present she produces 700,000,000. (Move- ment.) Ten years back she produced 30,000,000 of kilogrammes of cotton cloths, while at present the amount is 65,000,000, the price for the one quantity being the same as for the other, which proves how much wages had fallen. The honorable gentleman thenproceeded to argue that a reduction in the duty on iron would not be of aay great advan- tage to agriculture, looking at the quantity which itemployed. As to cotton, the case would.be the same. French cotton cost thirty per cent more than the English cotton; if the protective duty, which only entered into that dgure for six per cent, were suppressed, there would still remain twenty- four per cent in favor of England. What, then, caused that difference ofprice Thiscircumstance, that England produced by immense masses, which lessened the price of manufacture, at the same time that her meansof transport were more perfect. Su; pose that that duty of six per ceut were sup) » of what great advantage would it be to the French consumer? (Movement.) As to what re; navigation, continued M. Thiers, M. St. Beuve has spoken of what took place under the restoration. | have always remarked that when an experiment does not succeed the fault is invariably laid on those who commenced it. It is thus that the treaties of 1826 and 1527 are blamed, whereas I consider that they ought to be approved of, for we were in end forced to accept the equailty of fag with the United States, How was that? Because, when a nation laysa tax on matters at home, it can do so with impunity; but when it imposes a duty on foreign vessels, the coun- try to which they belong will in return act similarly. France long played at tariffs cape ~ to yield. The Americans constructed vessels oft 1,000 4 Havre, piqued at the superiority attributed to the Americans for so doing, also built vessels of 1,000 | tons; but could only find a for 300 or 400 tons, for the Americans, who had len‘y of cotton to send to Europe, began by filling their own bottoms, and then gave the rest as freight to ours. | affirm, then, that the price of goods depends on circumstances quite independent of tariffs—often on mere local and | peculiar circumstances. A great nation cannot con- sent to depend on foreign powers for its daily “4 » | plies. We cannot look to others for our iron, and tissues. The hon. gentleman here entered into an examination of the theory of Laissez faire, laissez passer. He examined what had taken place in England under Henry VIII., and reminded the | Chamber that woollens \geotoees: at that period in England were sent to Flanders, where they were | spun and sent back in a marufactured state. |“ What,” said the hon. gentleman, “ was the con- | duct adopted by Henry VIll.t He levied a heavy duty on Flemish manufactures, and forced the Eng- lish to manufacture for themselves. Every one | knows to what extent they manufacture cloths. ‘That was what the wicked Henry VIII. did; and he term wickedtohim.

(Loud applause.) ne honorable gentleman, in descending from the tribune, was warmly congratulated by his friends. At half-past two o'clock, on the 28th, General Bedeau, bt stp took the chair. The Assembly afterwards resumed the discussion on the proposition of M. St. Beuve, tending to in- troduce a system of iree trade in France. Mr. Howyn Tranchere declared that he and his friends had no intention of ruining, as they had been accused, a number of branches of the national industry, the glory of their country, when they contended that useful and prudent reforms might be made in the customs’ tariff M. Thiers, in his opi- nion, had spoken too disdainfully of those young literary men who had sincerely espoused the cause of free trade, and should remember that he had himself prepared, by his literary productions, revolu- tions which his fine speeches and acts had not been able to prevent. M. Howyn then proceeded to de- velope his system amidst the noise of private con- versation. He condemned the a ge ition of St. Beuve as too radical, and M. ‘Thiers a3 too prohi- bitive, and sanctioning M. Prudhon’s doctrine— Le droit au travail. M. Fouxp, Minister of Finance, said that it was useless to attack anew a proposition so victoriously opposed by M. Thiers. In the absence, however, ot his colleague of the Department of Commerce, he thought proper to make, not a speech, but a decla- ration. volutions might change the institutions ofa country, but could not m rd its permanent interest. The new government should take into account existing facts and the nature of its produc- tions. The customs laws should have two ob- jects in| view—to protect labor and procure re- sources for the treasury. ‘The government rejected the principle of free trade as opposed to the secu- rity and independence of @ great nation. The pro- tective system should be firmly maintained in the interest of national industry. He did not mean, however, that it should be blind and immutable. ‘The mere taking into consideration of M. St. Beuve’s proposition would alarm the country. Thi most vulgar prudence, moreover, demonstrated its ino] unity, and it wag for those two reasons the cabinet requested the Assembly to reject it. M. St. Bevveg next rose, and was left speaking. ‘The Liberty of the Press in France. [¥rom the London Chronicle, July 2 | Of the many anachronisms that have taken pl in Fra: since the establishment of the republic, the most flagrant perhaps is the hopes of that much-abused word “liberty.” ni tl ¢ of the chief causes which led to the downfall of mona was the enforcement of severe laws against the “ liberty of the press.” Yet the actual government of the French republic leaves the fa- mou: laws of September completely in the back- ground. With a hand of iron it puts down every attempt at a free expression of opinion which does not exactly coincide with its own particular views and sentiments. The recent sentences of heavy fine and imprisonment pronounced by the Paris tri- bunals — the editors and responsible gérans of several Parisian journsls, have ereated no small sen- sation, net only in France, but in every State of Europe. Though hitherto the government had con- fined its oppressive action to journals published on French territory, it has now ventured further, and aimed a blow at journalism across the channel. A French journal, published in London, under the clever editorship of the Countess de Brunnetiore- Talien, has been the first victim. The Prefect of the Pas du Calais has interdicted the sale of the Pilote de Londres in his arrondisso- went. The reply of the Prefect, to an appeal of the Countees _— this act of injustice, reminds us forcibly of the celebrated (notorious, we should tay) letter of General Savary to Madame de S:iel, on the publication of her work on Germany. That unfortunate functionary, who, if history speaks truth, died of the fatigue he underwent in hel pin, to burn the copies of the work in question, notitie the author of Corinne, that she must not sup) that she was banished from France because sho had not spoken of the Emperor in her work, but because it appeared to him, General Savary, “ ue (air de ce pays ne lwi convenait pas.” General Savary is the honorable Prefect’s beau rdéa/ of what a functionary ought to be. Madame de Stuel’s work, before be- ing published, was submitted to the board of cen- sors, and approved of. A new regulation of the press was issued almost immediately, to the effect that when @ work should have been wed of by the censors, and its publication ail |, the pabli- cation might take piace, but the Minister of Police reserved to himself the right of su jing it alto- gether, Ce ed think it an io.” is was ad enough; a law was not required to laim the absence of law; the sim le ast of absolute wer would have sufficed.

The circumstances of day night’s affray seem to be as follows:—On Satur- day night, shortly before 10 o’clock, two soldiers of the first, named Trussler and ane, mace passing up Islington, both in a state of tion. eir conduct was most outrageous. They knocked down, or pushed into the street, every passenger whom they met on the footwalk. Police officer observed the conduct of the men, and walked be- hind them for some time, but didnot wish to meddle with them, as chere was no other officer to assist him. At last, when they got to the corner of St. Anne street, their conduct became so violent that the officer felt compelled to interfere, and he went up to Trussler, and said to him, “It is a great shame to abuse the inhabitants of the town ia the way you are doing, and you must not doit.” The officer had not finished the sentence, when Trussler up with his fist and struck the officer in the face, and sent him into the middle of the street. The officer in returf dealt him a heavy blow with his stick on the bead, and Carey then attempted to take off his side belt, and made a rush at the officer, who knocked him away. A crowd thencollectei, andsome of the persons assembled assisted the officer, and a companion who had come up, to take the prisoners to. Bridewell. Police officer No.,70, whocame to the as! sistance of 544, went to the sergeant of the Road a the barracks, and asked him to send out for those men ; but a corporal on guard told the officer not to mind, laughing at the same time, and observing, if they were all of bis mind they would turn oat and give all the inhabitants a good thrashing. Whilst passing through C,mmutation row, Trussler and Carey knocked down a middle-aged man, named William Yates. His head was severely cat by the fall, and whilst he was on the ground they kicked him severely. Trussler was severely wounded by the blow which he received on the head, and on being examined in Bridewell by the surgeon of the regiment, was removed to the muitary hospital, bail being given for his appearance. On day even= ing a further riot occurred in Shaw’s brow, ocea- sioued by a private of the Ylst, named Robert M’Fendries, and which was likely to have resulted in very serious consequences. Whilst officer 730 was passing a child, which was found straying, up Shaw’s-brow. he was met by M’Fendries, who said to him, ‘I have it in for you, and we shall have revenge.” The officer asked him what he meant, when he replied that some of his companions had been put in prison last night, and that they would have a row; and he then struck at the oflicer, say- ing, ** We are cetermined to have revenge.” The oflicer called for assistance, and M’fendries was ‘ot to the bottom of Shaw’s-brow, on his way to jridewell, when a picket came running down Dale étreet, the sergeant of which drew his bayonet, the cflicers were dashed away, and the prisoner was taken out of their custody. Carey and M’Fendries were brought up yesterday at the police office, but, in consequence of Trussler’s absence, the case was adjourned to this day (Tuesday). A certificate, stating his inability to attend, was preduced from the surgeon of the regiment; but the magistrates declared it to be vague and unsatisfactory, and so intimated to one of the officers of the regiment, who was present watching the proceedings. SECOND EDITION. From the attacks made upon the police by the soldiers of the 91st regiment, on Saturday and Sun- day saa it must be quite evident that no very amicable feeling existed between the men of the respective forces. The apprehension by the police oftwo or three soldiers, who had been guilty ehmoee unjustifiable and unwarrantable outrages inst unoffending civilians, and also upon the police them- selves, seems to have provokeda very strong spirit of - revenge in the bosoms of their companions in arms. and, accordingly, last night, some of the princi thoroughfares of Liverpool were made the scene of one of the moit serious riots which has for some time taken ro in this town, of which a consider- able body of the soldiers of the 91st regiment was the cause. The apprehension of oue or two of their fellow-eoldiers seems to have given deep offence to the men of the regiment, and as if to wipe off the dis » many of them were heard to say that last night would not pass over without a policeman’s blood being spilt. With a view of carrying out their threat, a considerable number of them met in Mr. Heaguo’s publie house, in Dale stree?. Shortly before 9 o'clock, they issued into the street, and were there jeined by other soldier: They no sooner got into the street than they proceeded in a body towards oflicer 419, (Duggan,) who was on duty in Dale street, and having untastened thoir crcss belts, they made a furious attack with them upon this officer, wounding him so severely about the head and body that he was eco ii very great danger at a late hour last night. then rushed in a body up Shaw’sbrow, al lug ell the policemen whom they me:. luforma- tion of thoze proceedings, however, soon reached the police, und they mustered in great ‘or: in Byrom street, Shaw’s-brow, and the neighb hoed. After the poliee had’ mustered, they s asoldier make an unprovoked attack upon an offi- cer; he was immediately seized, and his companions did not attempt a rescue, but this, we believe, was in a go measure owing to the presence of the Rev. Mr. Connor, who used his utmost endeavors to point out to the soldiers the folly of the course which they were pursuing. They soon broke off from him, and, notwithstanding his exhortations, — themselves in skirmishing parties all over the locaiily, attacking every officer whom they met, and the officers, coming up in 7 force, retaliated with des rate effect. ord having been sent to Superintendent Towe: at Rose Hill, of the serious nature of the » he at onee ordered out a strong body of men, and the result Was the capture of no less than twenty-five of the military rioters, who were safely lodged ia the Nose Hill bridewell, and booked for the offence.

Three of the soldiers Lave been severely wounded, and one of them, named Benson, has sustained some ferious wounds in the head. The wounded men were conveyed to the hospital in cabs, and their wounds received prompt attention. Mr. Commissioner Dowling was =: the Rose Hill station, and gave the neces- tary orders. Lecween 9 and 10 o'clock, one of the pickets pase- ed through Dale street, followed by an enormous crowd, hooting and cheering; who mistook the ob— ject of the men, and imagined that they had come armed to attack cae police. 6 crowd at this time was so dense at the bottom of Dale street, that it was impossible to pass through the streets.
