Calculations and theories of political economy are often strangely and unaccoun‘ably defeated by facts. When free trade in England opened the ports to the free introduction of foreiga cattle, it was naturally expected by every body that the removal ‘of all prohibition would cause the price of cattle to fall inthe country. In fact, it wasa measure in- tendec expressly to effect this purpose, that meat ed be made cheaper to the laboring misses . is singular in the results—which has, by es tablished records, been steadily the case ever siace the opening of the ports—is, that meat bas boen .

A charming party took place on Friday last at the country house of the celebrated novel writer, M. Paul de Kock, who lives at Remainorlle, near the famed Island of Calypso. This amia>le lite- rary gentleman, whose urbanity is equal to his tal- ents, wished, on the oceasion 01 his birth-day, to offer to his friends an entertainment, and he buted a large number of invizations. A grand din- ner, a theatrical performance, a ball, fireworks and &@ supper, made aR the programme. I[t afforded much pleasure. je honors of the party were or- dinarily made by Mile. Pauline de Kock, and M. Henry de Kosk, children of the author. Many literary celebrities were there present, and amoa; them | a Messrs. Charles Desnoyers, Conail- hac, Lubis; Sivandin, Boyer, and others; also a number of actors and pretty actresses. It is needless to say vhat the dinner was excellent, and that the theatrical performance was ealivened by amusing farces. The Vaudeville was called * (2itet Dent.” Ithad been writtea by M. de Kock andhad for interpreters Graesot, Francisque, Eugene Mi- reaud Gouget, and Avrillon. Mas.

Tae ball, whic! an excellent supper, and never hi q lasted tll day light, was enriched with rettier fete a took lace on Sunday last, attracted thither a large of sportsmen, fancy men, and loretes. Tue President, Louis Napoleon, was also on the spot, and though in citizen's dress, be attraeved much atteotion. A very queer incident took e in oue “Ay Ministry—General Mognan—Thiers— The Papal <*Btates—An English Demand—Viewna—Molida- =" via—Hungary— Sebustiani, §c. As had been foreseen by many statesmen, the re- | vision of the con: tion was rejected on Saturday last. Such is the result which has had an echo throughout Europe. The members ofthe Assem- Diy were 724; and the constitutional majority was | nevessarily 543 votes, or two-thirds of the suffrage. | Only 446 representatives voted in favor of, and 273 voted against the revision. The debate was con- ducted with dignity, and with a solemaity worthy ef the circumscance uttered by Louis Napoleon’s cousin, M. Pierre Bo- maparte, who aceompanied his vote by the cry of metres, ani “Vive la Republique!’ As forthe other moun- taineers, they voted without speaking. The mem- bers of the mountain are not princes, and they did not find it necessary to make France remember o2¢ of the most shameful episodes of the convention. The proposition ‘* Creton” is again on the tayis, and the question is, how the legitimists will vote on this occasion. If there is no modification made to the proposal—if the Orleanists do not under- mtand that the only way to succeed is to give their @onsent to the fusion, there will be no chance for and. The last work of Lord m this subject, a passage worth being published:—“ Every monarchy, wich- out a direct line, lea republic, every republic leads to socialism, socialism leads to communis and communism to anthropophagism.” not only funny, but has truth and false notions mixcd. Ip presence of such a vote as that against the corsticution, the ministers of Louis Napoleon thought it politic, if not prudent, te send in theirre- | sSignations, but the President asked them to withdraw them, and to unite their efforts to give the country order, calu, and peace, which are more necetsary than ever to our country, in order to pass safely through the trial which France is on the eve of experiencing. This was not precisely suffi save the amour propre of M. Fausher, who sent in his resignation a second time, but with no better success. M. dillon Barrot, as before announced, was to take his piace, but his arrivat in tae Legis- lative Assembly, with a rosebud at his button-hole, proved that there was no likelihood of his being Selected. A ministerial! crisis at this epoch is areal anachron ism, for there is but one minister in France, aad that is the President of the republic. The responsi- Dility of the Chief of the State, decided by the con stitution, has rendered it a natural consequence of power, and this is daily proved by votes. The @hole executive power rests with the President, and those who are called his ministers are but elerks, more or less elevated in the hierarchy o administration. Thus, their nomination, as we their revocation, could not change the general poli tics of the country. The whole government lies in the Assembly, by which laws are made and annibi- lated—by which peace or war may be declared, treaties ratified, which has the sole right of givio amnesty to those who ar: guilty, which has a. strength, whilst che President has but to obey—for, | in fact, be does not govern. In order to witness a ministerial crisis, as tormerly understood, it would be necessary, that, by a misunderstanding with the Assem bly, the President of the republic should sead in his resignation. Thus it follows, that the govera- ment of France is the Assembly, and that Louis Napoleon is but the first minister. General Magnan, the new Commanider-in-Chief of the Army of Paris, has already taken possession of his post as che Etat Major of the Tuilleries. A - grand review took place on | riday last, at the Place ef the Carrousel, during which ali the ollicers were presented to him. M.

Among the peculiarities of certain foreigners visiting Lurope, there is one worth being m snsion- ed, which consists in the belief, entertained by some weak minded people, that they weuld be bet- ter considered if they wore a uniform. There was observed, during the last month, an individual whose presence at all the public gardens, and houses of disrepute, had made him notorious. He con- stantly wore a uniform ofthe American navy, and this was not considered proper by many of the citizens of the land of freedom, who did not like to see the badge of honor thus soiled by a man who did not seem to care much about it. Consequently, an officer of the United States Army, Captain Frost, having met this man at Versailles, weariag the uniform above spoken of, summoued him to pat this suit of cloth ide ; aod this was so imperiously ded, that he knew, by the confession individual, that he did not belong to the for be had been obliged to resign a fe ¥ years days. ady avd charmin. navy, ago.

As an illustration of the manner in which everything is done by this suspi- cious government, among these superstitious people, and in this antiquated city, it may not prove amiss to give your readers @ brief outline of all proceed- ings in this undertaking. ‘ On the 27th of June, the U. S. Consul at this "which was ao | Plase received advices from Commodore Morgan, | well performed by the ambassador of Nepaul, has | that he was ready to receive the remains of Mr. | Sparks, ogreeably to instrnctions from the Depart- ment of the Navy, in order to convey them to Spez- one of the favorites of the Shah | zia for embarkation on the first vessel of the Med- iterranean squadron departing for the United States. Immediately on reseption of this adv the Consul addressed a communication to the Mili- tary (Governor of the Venetian Provinces, setting forth the facts of the case, and requesting immedi- ate permission to disinter the remains of bis prede- cessor, in order that the frigate might not be de- | ned. He had been informed that such permis- mm was @ favor granted only after months of de- y, ana that the prosecution of the demand would L be attended with great expense. In view of this, his request was terms, requiring immediate action, and it was fol- lowed up by repeated calls on the Departments of the Military, Civil, Provincial, and Municipal au- thorities of Veni from the one to the other of which this communication was sent for approval. At length, a little to his surprise, on the morning of July Sth, he received a huge document bearing an impression of the two-headed eagle of Austria on half a pound of wax, which, on opening, he found to contain tl red permission, written upon two vast sheete « io post! His request was granted on the following eoditions: Ist, That the body should be disinterred the Provinei ¢ of two physicians of id, That the coffinwhen dina thick box of oak. 3d.

That an officer of the delegation should ac- company the remains to the frigate, aod certify their embarkation. Immediately on reception of this permission, the Consul entered upon the re- uired preparations, and very shortly discovered that they would be attended with no little trouble and expense. For the required leaden vase, for ex- ample, the sum of about $100 war de than $30 of which goes to the go import on the lead; the whole ot have been saved until after the , when lead will, lik things, be duty-free—the re then be Put thie wae imporrible, and perhaps the consi tion of this impost hastened the permission grant- ed. Other expenses were on @ par with that of the case, and the delay bade fair to be intolerable on the part of workmen At length, however, by dint of incess driving and bribery, all prelimi- nary preparations wore cluded, and, on the morning of the %h, at 5 o'clock, the Consul re- paired, by appointment, with all concerned, in a gondola to the Protestant cemetery, on the island of St. Cristofero, about a mile from the Kialto in Landing at the steps of the Church of St. Michell, which was resounding at that early hour with the matins of the Monastery of Monks. he was conducted through the cloister’ paved with the tomb tablets of the wenlthicet citizens of Ve- nice, and thence through the spacious Catholic | cemetery to the smal! plat to the burial o@ Protestants that this vaet grave-yard of Venico stands upon two large islands, San’ Cristofero and San Michell, which are now united, and that upon the latter, nearly four bundied years ago, was erected the church and cloister which now attract so much ad- miration.

It was of white marble, and bore tne inscription— | © Saered to the memory of William Alexander Sparks, United States Consul at Venice, who de- parted this life on the Iffth day of August, 1849, aged 30 years.” Over the grave four young cy- | presses were waving their melancholy boughs wonderful laxuriance, considering the character of | the soil, which, on throwing it up, proved to be a | mere debots of limestone, bricks. mortar, and a fine | ayepnd. On reaching the massive box of oak | wi enclosed the collin, it was foand perfectly | sound, snd indurated almost to the hardaess of mar- ble by the physi cians, the remains were dryness of the soil, By the attending jecayed as on the day of their burial.

One was erected to the memory of Sir Thoma: Stephen Sor- rell, British Consul General, who died March 24, 1816, aged 71; and William Yeames, who died Au: gust 9th, 1843, aged 53. ‘The most costly monu- ment in the cemetery is that of the young and lovely Austrian Princess Hohenloe, who ‘died at the age of 21,in the month of pagent § 1851. The design is a simple cross of white marble, standing in-a heavy pedestal of the same material, bearing a long insetiption in gold letters, in severat languages, on different faces of the cube. On some of the graves bloomed flowers, and on some of the monu- | ments hung wreaths of the immortelle, such as are | seen at Pere la Chaise. Heie, too, in a secluded corner, repose the remains of the young and bril- liant French artist, Leopold Robert, (of whom Du- mas makes honorable mention in ** Monte Cristo,”) the painter of maay beautiful works, among the most celeb:ated of which are ‘The Fishers of the Adriatic,” and “The [mprovisator or Naples,” who long resided at Venice, and who comuitted suicide at his studio in the Pisani pal- ace, at the very height of his fame, because of a hopeless love for a lovely girl of an illustrious fam- ily of Florence, and exactly ten years, to a day, af- ter the suicide of his brother Alfred! A romance, embodying this sad tragedy, written by a lady, ap- peared some years since. , ‘The remains of Mr. Sparks having been raised from the grave, were conveyed to the southern | gate of the cemetery, looking out on Venice, and commanding a full view of the cisy from the Arse- nal to the Hallway bridge Here were assembled about twenty workmen of various kinds, all busily engaging themselves in xing ta Se something in the Reatiee while one-fourth of that number would have probably proved far move efficient. But the whole twenty were present, and the whole twenty expected compensation for that presence. And thus everything is accomplished in Venice. Notwithstanding, however, this army of Sapleyee four hours had elapsed before the burial box ad been encased in its winding-sheet of lead, (weigh- ing more than three hundred pounds,) and soldered up so as to be impervious to air or water, and then deposited in the bed of charcoal in the outside box of larch, cased with tar, und the box cover securely screwed on; and the rays of the sun had become rfectly withering in their intensity, pearing town on the burning soil of this Golgotha, shade: by not a single tree, as if from the moath of a fur- nace. At length, aver a, was completed, and hardly had this been done, when a letter from the Consul at Trieste desired the transportation of the remains to the city by the steamer leaving Venice at midnight of that same day. Immediate applica- tion was made to the Delegation for the necessary order, and for an officer to aecompany the remains. After whole hours of delay, and the agreement upon an exhorbitant compensation to the officer, for a service utterly useless, the indispensable order was at length obtained. ‘The Consul then repaired to the oflice of the Austrian Lloyd’s to procare transportation on the “ Venezia,” their steamer of that night for Trieste, when, to his astonishoent, the chief of the office utterly refused to receive the remains on board, without an order from the Board of Directors at Trieste. A telegraphic despatch in Italian, (anesting to rule,) was, after two hours delay, sent to the Ame- rican consul at Trieste, at what would be deemed in the United States a most extortionate price, desir- ing bim to obtain the necessary order, and to send it, by telegraph, without delay. That night came no reply; but the next day came a letter, by mail, announcing that the Board had the subject under consideration, and that the Independence would defer her departure from Thursday (the day ofdate,) until the following Sunday. Next day the mai brought another letter from the consul at Trieste, announcing a final and absolute refusal of the Lloyd's to receive the remains on board, on any terms whatever; but that by application to the Gop- cevich Company, a rival cor; tion, which runs a small boat occasionally bo ween Venice and ransportation might, possibly, be obtained, | although upon most exorbitant terms. That night | the steamer arrived, and, by agreement with tho | directors, the remains were the next morning— being that of Saturday, July 12th—received on board for ti ation to the Independence, at- tended by the officer of the delegation, who, to crown ali, at the last moment, insisted on being al- lowed an attendant for himself. That night the steamer reached Trieste, the remains were trans eo to the Independence, by her launch, and on be next oe, eing Sunday, 13th, she sailed from the port of Trieste, leaving the Mississippi at anchor, shortly to start, with Com.

Shortly after, one of them named Rousset, laid a complaint against M. Cabet, aud he was joined in the complaint by other Iearians. ‘They stated, among other things, that Cabet obtained from the associates 270,000f., and that before leaving he made them give up every- thing of value they had with them. Some other Tearnans, however, protested against the accusa- tions made against theirchief. ‘The account books showed that Cabet had had at bis disposal 241,9756., of whica disbursements to the amount of 140,000f. were proved by receipts; there were no receipts for the disbursement of the remainder, but it was re marked that a great number of the items were of such a nature that receipts could not be obtained for thom :—thus, for ¢xample,*thére was one item for 24,000f. for conveyances by railway. When ex- amined by the President of the Court of Appeal, M. Cabet defeaded his conduct fom the sharge made aguinsthim. He attributedall the evils from which his emi; had suffered to their own neg- igreate lect of precautions, as well as to the levolution of February, 1848. If there were any irregularitivs in the accounts, it was the fault of the clerks. Ho had done all in his power to serve his friends who Hone to the promised land of plenty. A num- ber of witnesses were then examiaed, who explained the nature of the deceptions practised on them, and the hardship and losses they had sustained. All their letters to their families in Krance had beeo intercepted by M. Cabet, whose object was to keep them in the dark as Jong as possible. Tac prisoa- er’s counse! addressed the sourt at some length ia an ingenious speech, defending hisclient’s conduct. ‘The substitute of the Procureur General supported the charge, and observed that nearly all the pri- soner had said about Texas was uatrue.

The accounts slpayen. great isregularity, and, after a close examination of them, there was a de- ficit of 7,000f. M. Cabet had not kept an accouat of all the sums paid to him, and that neglect alone was an offence in the eye of the law. He had, be- sides, clearly profited by the subscriptions paid up. On the demand of M. Cabet the case was adjourn- $3, to afford him an opportunity of preparing his lefence. The Solar Eciipse in London. {From the London Times, July 29.| A densely clouded sky, coupled with the prover- bial London atmosphere, have together contributed to prevent the 2,360,000 inhabitants of London, and some two or three hundred thousand foreigners and country friends, from witnessing the intere-ting astronomical phenomenon which took-place yester- day. A heavy rain fell carly in the morning, and from dawn to the close of day no feature presented itself to relieve the dreary characteristics of a wot = in London. 8 the time aneonchen for our satellite to stand between us and the sun, considerable anxiety was manifested, and various speculations were hazarded respecting the probability of anything being scen; some expressing a doubt whether the whole affair was not a myth got up, either by the government to divert the public, or by Dr. Bachoffuer and his co- adjutors at the Polytechnic, to draw the wondering crowd to their institutien. At ten minutes before two o'clock a sharp shower fell, which seemed to damp the ardor of the few who still believed that an eclipse was to occur; the sky remained impreg- nable to the telescopic battery posted in array against it, whilethe more humble attempts of the tyro astronomer to penetrate the mystery with his piece of smoked glass, were equally fruitless. As the time ih greg obscuration approashed anx- iety reached its height; and, fortunately for the character of the scientific world, at intervals from 20 minutes past two until 12 minutes past three o'clock, sufSvient evidence was given by an occa siona! mpee, that aa eclipse of the sun was actu- all; ing place. From 10 minutes past three o’clock a dense gloom pervaded the metropolis for about twenty minutes, not so much, however, from tHe previous dull and cloudy state of the weather, as to arrest apy particular attention Had it been nshiny day, the effeet would have been triking and impressive. A considera- ble depri n of temperature was observed, but not so much a¢ would have been experienced had the sun been shining, the thermometer never falling below #2°of Fabrenbeit. Afver the time of the eatest obscuration a gradual increase of light was the only indication otlered of the passing off of this otherwise interesting phenomenon; we must therefore now patiently wait for a report from our distant astronomical friends more favorably situated. Asa curious fact, showing the anxiety of the public to view the effect, it may be mentioned that the Greenwich steamboats were yesterday morning thronged with visiters anxiously aot their way toGreenwich hill; whether from any latent idea being nearer to the Observatory they would have a more favorable view of the eclipse, or to avail themselves of the telescopic aid furnished by the veterans, is a philosophical problem that wo shall not attempt to solve. h Republic, The Fre: we have received the Paris journals of the 23th t.

Advices from Genoa of the 2Ist ult say:—A new line of steam communication, direct from to New York, has been o-ganized by Messrs. Liv- ingston, Wells & Co , of that city. “Mr. Coster, a gentleman interested in the undertaking, and from, whom | have received an account of the project, is staying in Piedmont, in order to prepare the neses- sary steps for coming to an agreement with the Sardinian Government with regard to the mails. I am happy to say that Coant Cavour, to whom as Minister of Commerce, the plan has been submitted, has | ang the sanction of the government. A has been made to the company for the exclusive working of this line for fifteen years, the annual sum of $50,000 being guaranteed tor the transport of the mails. These steamers will touch at Madei- ra, where letters or passengers will be transferred to the South American line of steamers; so that it may be looked upon as # double line, both to the south and north of the American continent. I sub- join a circumstantial and exact statement of the ement entered into with the government of country, which is very fair, all port charges and 3 being free. ‘The company are also in treaty with the Portuguese and South American govern- ments for the transport of their mails, andare likely to be successful ia obtaining them on favorable con- ditions. I have been informed that the government, as is its custom, has endeavored to facilitate this undertaking as much as — consistently with ts wish to encourage a liberal spirit of enterprise, and to enlarge the trade with Ameri According to statistical returus, importation of cotton to this port during lust year amounted to fifteen millions of francs; # direct m commu- tion will not fail to increase tois amount, which ly for home consumption. When the way to Switzerland is completed, no doubt can be entertained that Genoa will, by its medium, largely supply that manufacturing coaotry with its raw material, which at the present moment it draws from other porte—chiefly Havre. The ex- port trade in fruits from the Mediterrane in to Ame- rica is at sixty millions per aunum. A 0 of fresh fruits generally loses three-fourths of its value during its passage, as sailing vessels must, on an average, be reckoned to require w three months’ journey. steamers may be expected to clear the distance in about sixteen days, and, time being a prime consideration with 80 dainty a cargo, a full supply of the article may fairly be reckoned upon. The tide of emigra:ion from Germany and itzerland has, at nt as no direct communication exists from Medi- terranean to New York—to take its way either to some port of Northern Germany, or of England; but as soon as those steamers begin to ply, a shorter, quicker, and uently mush cheaper, route wild be opened for it. These considerations speak most certainly in favor of the project, which is the be- ginning of a new cra in the commercial connection of the Mediterranean with America. Putting ma- terial considerations apart, the advantage of form ing afresh link by this moans with a country go- yerned by free institutions, and with a liberal commercial system, has, it may be surmised, not pee eee by the able man at the hoad of that tment of the ministry, aud no doubt in- fluenced the government in making the desired a and agreeing to she conditions pro- oeed by Mr Coster, the gentleman acting as agent ere on behalf of thi York soapany.
