England.— ls any doubt existed after Mr. 1) Is raeli's motion, that' the Derby Government throw protection overboard, it was sot at rest by Lord Derbv in the House ot Lords on the 22<i inst. In answer to a question from Lord Clanricarde, Lord Derby stated that “the object of calling a ses sion of the House prior to Christmas, was to close for ever the controversy with regard to protection and free trade. The result of the late election had con vinced him that though a large number of constit uencies were well disclosed to support the Govern ment, they were determined not to assent to an al teration of the recently adopted commercial policy, and that any such attempt would be instantly ne gatived by a largo majority. Under these circum stances he had felt it his duty to advise Her Ma jesty to declare that the principles of unrestricted commerce ought to be ad -pted. (Cheers.) After making tliis explicit statement, Government might have rested, but it went further and announced ils budget f r an early day, by the details of which the country would be enabled to judge of the sin cerity of the Government, and the wisdom of its policy. (Cheers.) An attempt has been made in the lower House to anticipate discussion by a reso lution to which no member of the Government can agree, but it would be well if tho»» were aoput to support the motion, would consider not so muon how to overthrow the Government, but how they could form an admimsti ation il it were over thrown.'” (Chee r s.) On Tuesday evening Mr. VilHers’ motion was opprobiously referred to by the Earl of Derby in the Lords; while in the Commons it was under debate. Mr. YUliers declared he had brought for ward his resolution for the purpose of placing on record an unmistabeable declaration on the sub ject of free trade, that men of business and the world might comprehend the final decision of Eng land upon this all-important question. Mr. DTsraeli, in moving his amendment, ingen iously persisted in resolving Mr. VilHers’ motion into an enquiry, whether the Government had tul fided its pledges since it came into power. Fol lowing out this view, h« maintained that the Derby administration was of necessity one of compro mise and conciliation. The office was thrust upon them when the former Cabinet fell to pieces from the internal discord, and they acceded to power by no motion connected with protection : consequent ly they violated no pledge by retaining office with a House opposed to protection; and farther, from the beginning they never did intend to repeal any of the measures of the free trade acts. Mr. Bright replied at length in a speech chiefly noticeable for the following passage; “If the House maintained Mr. Vilik-rs’ motion, the United States, where a free trade President had just been re turned by an overwhelming majority, would a s know it. (Hear.) In the United States protection was in the same helpless condition it was in this country, and though well beaten the supporters 1 of that claase still cling by it, as in this country, j i Laughter and cheers.) But when President Pierce, in March next comes into power, they might look forward to the n ciprocity just now so much talked about there, therefore let them put on Hie books of the House a resolution that nobody could mistake.” L>rd Palmerston skillfully smoothed over the asperities of both speeches, and suggested, but did. . not formally submit, some verba! amendments. | The debate was then adjourned. Next day it was resumed by Sir James Graham, Mr. Gladstone, Cobden and others, and resulted in the withdrawal of Mr. Di aeli’s amendment, an 1 the offering of the following by Lord Palmers prov -’d condition‘b’f tfi" country, and especially of the industrious clas.-ea is mainly the result of the recent legislation, which has established the taxes ■ imposed for the purpose of protection. That it is t the opinion ot .his House that the policy followed, maintained and prudently extended, will best ena ble the industry of the country to bear its bur thens, and thereby assuredly promote the welfare and contentment of the people. Tnat this House I is ready to lake into consideration any measure consistent with these principles, which in pursu ance of Her Majesty’s speech made before them, may be offered by Her Majesty’s ministers.” The debate was further adjourned until Friday, when, after another lengthe i debate and a profor. j mt division, the Hou-e again d 10-icff on the amendment of Lord p.Wrston, when the mem bers were; F>r the amendment, 468 ; against it SS, ..;dority for the amendment, 415. The House then adjourned. In the House of Lords, on the 25th, in the reply to Lord Wharnelitfe, ;hc Earl of Malmesbury sta ted, with to the North American fi-he ries, that Mr. Webster’s letter arose neither from the Government placing a new construction upon the Treasury order regulating the fisheries, nor from the use of improper language in the nego tiation. He did not know what was the cause of the letter being written unless it resulted fromcir eum: lances which occurred to the American Go vernment at the rime of the Presidential election. He must refuse to produce the papers in the pre sent peculiar state of the negotiation; but he as sured the House that the most friendly spirit pre vailed between the two Governments. With the exception of that one letter, everything tended to a most satisfactory conclusion. He would produce the papers us soon as possible. Tiie House then adjourned. Strong opposition is making by the shipping in terest against the grant of a charter to the new Liv erpool and London Trans-Atlantic Screw gt-eam ship Company. A deputation from Shields, Sun derland, Liverpool, Glasgow, Leith, and other ports, have remonstrated with the Board ot Trade. The deputation comprised Iff members of Parlia ment with others; among them Messrs. Brown, Shipley & Co., and Mr. Canard. In the suit brought against the steam ship Arc tic for coming in collision with the Liverpool tug steamer Mona, damages to the amount of £390 had been awarded against the Arctic. , Richard Brougham Bingham, late Secretary of the Legation at Naples, is appointed British Con sul General to Venezuela, and Judge C.

The ship Eagle had arrived from Port Philip after the extraordinary passage of 76 days, with 150,000 ounces of gold. The ship Maitland, from Sydney, with 14,000 ounces. The Sapphiro with 15,000 ounces, and the Phlan, with 28,000 ounces. The total value is nearly £1,000,000 sterling. The Committee of Turkish Bondholders in Lon don, have resolved that the Turkish Government is bound for the recent loan, and that steps be taken to enforce the Bondholders’ claims. In the House of Commons Lord Stanly stated the Government had no doubt that the matter would be satisfactorily arranged. France.—The vote for the Empire was cast on the 21st and 22d November. Both public and private accounts agree that the ceremony was conducted decorously, but without any show of enthusiasm. From the pains taken to bring up the voters, the returns will exhibit a largo majority, greater proba bly than on any previous appeal to the people. By telegraph, we leara that up to the morning of the 27th, the latest returns, including 83 depart ments and the army and navv, were, yes, 7,200,- 000 ; no 250,000. In Baris, the number of voters who abstained in December, 1848, amounted to one-fourth of the whole; m December, 1351, to one-fifth; and on this occasion, to one-seventh. The result o' the Department of the Seine was proclaimed on 1 burs, day morning, the 26th, at the Hotel de Vine, amidst cries of “ Vive I’Empereur.” Ou Thursday also the Corps Legislatif met, and proceeded with the appointment of the commit tees. The scrutiny of the votes would occupy some days, perhaps four, and p robably on the Ist of De cember the result would oa announced, and the of ficial proclamation of the new Empire mada, on the 2d December—the anniversary of the coup d’etat and the Coronation of Napoleon I. On the 2d, will appear the Senatis Consubatn, with the modifications, which will be few—but the court etiquette of the Bourbons and of the Empire will be restored. Il is said the Emperor trill address one manifes- j to to t rance and another to Europe. Both, we i are told, will bo essentially pacific.

Liverpool Cotton Market. —This has been the dullest week iu Cotton that has occurred in many months, the irregularity and depression in prices being so great that it is impossible to give correct quotations. Prices of American descriptions have given way per pound, establishing a decline on the actual business of three weeks since of 8 lurthings in the middling and upper grades, and Id per pound in the inferior and lower classes. The following arc the official quotations which arc quite nominal, and fully Lgd too high for fair quali ties; Fair Orleans 6j>£d; Middling 6)£d ; Fair Mobile 6d: Middling ot^d; Fair Upland Middling 5%d Interior to Ordinary 4 % a 5 Hollinshead, Fetley & Co. say—We reduce quo tations of American descriptions % a%d. per lb., and wc must remark that, as the trade have only taken 49,710 bales during the last three weeks, a continuance of business on the same limited scale a short time longer, will materially reduce the stock in spinners- hands, we may then look for increased buying again. The bulk of the stock is iu the hands of speculators. The market closes heavy. Btatk of Trade in Manchester.—The market is again exceedingly fiat, with lower prices for yarns and goods. The iron districts are actively employed, having large orders from the United Slates. Havre Market.—The sales of the week to the 23d inst., inclusive, were G >25 bales Cotton, against 4930 bales imports—leaving the stock 14,837 bales, of which 13,000 are America*. The Market closed dull. New Orleans fair and ordinary 9Gf. Our correspondent writes under date 24th November; • —But little doing iu Cotton to-day, but prices remain without further decline, notwithstanding that we are considerably above Liverpool prices. In Potatoes there is a momentary improvement. A pretty good business doing in Indigo at \ery firm rates. Coffee are also firm. Rice is very dull, with almost no demand, in consequence ot an over stock, buyers keep aloof for more favorable prices. National Finances and Commerce. Borne very important facts are brought to public notice in the President’s Message—though they are not commented on in that document—which we shall lose no time in considering. Large balan ces in the public treasury are not always evidences material prosperity of the people. Tiiev show, it is true, that «■ ;J -. r yet they do not prove that a nation is equally clear from financial responsibility. Lot us consider what is the relative aspect of the Government and the people, so far as trade and revenue are con cerned.' Trade is the business of the people: re venue is the concern of the Government. The people are engaged in the increase of their mate rial wealth; but the Government is only con cerned, under tii© present system, in the collec tion of a "sufficient sum for its support and extra ordinary expenses. It will be seen, at once, there fore, that it is a false doctrine to measure the pro gress of national wealth by the aggregate balance in the national treasury. The Government occu pies, to the citizen, the relative position of a com mission merchant, whose profits are derived, not from his own invested capital and absolute risk, but from the capital of tiie citizen. The Govern ment’s revenue, accordingly, may he always sure and always large, while tiie merchant's balance on his business may exhibit a loss instead of a profit. With this hasty introduction of our views, let us proceed to demonstrate the relative financial cun j dition of Commerce and of the nation under the j present tariff: j The Government's receipt* for the list financial year, were *49,728,886 Expenditures, including $9,445,815 on account of national debt 46,<>07,896 Leaving an actual and true balance in the treasury for the last fiscal hear of only $3,720,490 Now let us see what were the means by which | this was attained : Tiie value of foreign merchandise im ported \v as $207,240,101 The value of domestic mere-handi e ex ported was 149,861,011 Flat balance of trade against us $57,378,190 | But, to this amount of $149,861,911, wc must add tiie sum of $17,204,026 o ffor< ign merchandise exported, which will make the aggregate of both foreign and domestic exportc $167,065,937. Yet this -1 e- not exhibit all our exports, for unfortun ately we have been compelled to senl abroad our „ ■ i~v *“* l *“° enormous importation. It'e exported in specie $42,507,235 And u, ported 5,262,648 Balance ■ f specie exported from the U. S. during the fiscal your $37,244,642 j Let ns next look at the balance ol foreign produc : lions imported by us and retained: For merchandise imported $207,24*'*, 101 “ exported 17,204,026 Balance retained for consumption or future trade $190,036,075 And how is it in regard to the balance in domes tic produce exported \ Domestic produce exported $149,861,911 Balance of specie exported 37,262 643 $187,124,554 And, now, what is the final balance of Atncri -1 can trade, as exhibited by this national revenue system: Total imports $207,240,101 Total exports 187,124,554 Balance against us on the year's trans actions $20,115,544 Il these* Iculations are correct, —and we believe ’ they are, though they have been hastily made,— the President’s message presents ns some facts that should make us pause and rcflec’, even in the mid-d of the vaunted prosperity whose key note we are too much habituated to take from revenue statistics. We observe that we hrvo imported $190,036,076 worth of merchandise more than we I needed for exportation,—and we see that, although wc sent abroad only $149,861,911 worth of our own productions towards paying for our $207,240,- . 101 worth of importations, and added thereto $87,- | 244,642 of our specie, we arc still, on the final bal ance, in debt, abroad $20,115,547 for extra impor tations. Nor has the Government, even, made so j vast a profit on the enortnons transactions, with all the bo wted advantages of this tariff. Its actual balance is only $3,720,490 for the, fiscal year after deducting the payments ou account of the Nation al debt. We think it very conclusive from this summary | of our National finances and trade, that, —although the Government may be scantily clearing itself of ’ debt and exhibiting a small remainder in the trea sury,—the industrial interest and commerce of the Nation, —the great co-partnership of National trade —are losing money. Nor should it be forgotten, 1 | that these antagonists, the Government and Com merce, are trading on a different basis. The Gov ernment deals exclusively for gold and oilcer, while ■ j the merchant is forced to rely on a mingled basis > i of credit—precious metals and bank paper. We , cannot understand how the credit ot the one and > the specie of the other arc to be sustained, when as President Fillmore says: “ Most of the yoll of California , as fast as it is coined, finds its way di rectly to Europe in payment for goods purchassed." * If we represent our purchases by our prodne i tions, and exchange one for the other, we may live financially as a nation; but if wo arc every year spending near thirty-eight millions of our money, and still remain lull twenty millions in debt, we are fast treading that path -which is well known to the spend-thrift, who, not content with living on , the interest of his fortune, taps and drains that fortune itself. With these views we may cordially approve the recommendations, relative to the modification of our revenue system, contained in the Presidents Message. —Baltimore American. Boundary between Georgia and Florida.—We extract the following paragraph from the message of Gov. Brown to the Florida Legislature now in I session: “ In obedience to the provisions of an act of the late General Assembly, which made it my duty to take such steps as I might «leem necessary and pro per for the speedy settlement of the long pending question of disputed territory between this State and the State of Georgia, which had been referred to the Supreme Court of the United States for ad judication. 1 sent David P. Hogue, Esq., Attorney General of Florida, to the City of Washington, upon the subject, with authority to employ, on be half of this State, such assistant counsel as he might consider necessary. lam informed by Mr. Hogue that he engaged the Hon.

The very recent death of Mr. WkbstEr has ten- i dered every authentic account of him doubly inter esting to every admirer of genius and patriotism. Mr. Lanman was long his Private Secretary, oc cupying the n ■ -t Intimate personal relations with ! ’ him.

Thero is not a man now living in Europe, we flunk, entitled to share in an equal degree with the ' Arab Chief the admiration of the world. His ex ploits and personal qualities invest him with all the charm of romance, combined with profound re spect for his devotion to his country, his heroism, and his misfortunes. His name will stand in his tory alongside of those oi the Ctd, ot Gonsalvo, of Montrose, and Kosciusko. Since the great Duke has descended to the tomb, the Arab Emir has no peer on the roll of illustrious living men. His adversi ties have added to the interest inspired by his mil itary achievements; and the public heart sympa thises with every thing relating to him; but we have seen no recent notice of him so touching as i ho annexed passage from the Paris correspondence of the Journal of Commerce : “ Abd-el-Kaker arrived at the castle of Amboise the day of his departure from the capital. About half past eight in the evening he was received in term at the portal by the Arab chiefs who shared his fortunes. He graciously, but hastily, accepted their welcome, and then rushed forward to meet his mother at the door of her apartment. He kiss cd each of her shoulders, threw himself at her leet, and kissed them repeatedly. The aged parent raised him up, and asked him for a circumstantial narrative of his adventure at Paris, after she had led him into her room and seated him be'orc her. While he described, with strange emotion, the scenes and honors of his sojourn, she cvept now and then from joy and surprise. As soon as he ended lie took her by the arm, and conducted her to the Mosque in the Chateau, where all the compa nions of ins exile were assembled, and a tew French attendants admitted. He returned, in a loud voice, thanks to God for all that had occur-ed; 1 e concluded with a poetical prayer for the preser vation of the new Ciesar, to whom he owed his re lease after so long a captivity 7 . ‘•The whole scene left a deep impression on the French spectators. After the religious rites he re | paired to his legitimate spouse; Arab etiquette re | q uired that she should be the last object of his at ■ tention. Un his way he exchanged good wish j es and pleasant phrases with the male part of Ins 1 household. The morning after a fete was arranged bv his companions to celebrate his return ; they i danced to the sound of tambours. In the course I of the day the authorities of the town of Amboise. : waited upon him with their congratulations. As ! a manifestation of his supreme content and confi i dence, he unveiled Ids wife’s face to the French C uiimandant f the Castle. W o are not told, in tiie i-ffiei:J report, from which the foregoing parti culars are draw u, whether the lady’s beauty or dig nit v ot mien corresponded to the fine face and ex j ailed rank, of the Emir. “ 1 have seen in the United States the most re markable Indian chiefs; and in Europe, Africans and , Asiatics of various races, and of the noblest rinks; | Egyptians, Abyssmians, Persians, Hindoos, Sia i >,>«-<• u«rtnenu.i>Hr hoUtM. barbarlana. and oemi bmhariu .s so styled; but noioue to be compared j with this Abd-el-Kader, in aspect, demeanor, sen- I limeut, or traits of superior intellect and refined spirit. The influence of bis life, character, and person on my feelings has caused rnc to collect, with special interest, the mum occurrences of Ins visit to the. capital. It is stated that he is invited to return on the proclamation or the Empire, ac companied bv his harem and the rest ot his house hob f. Trie Marquis of Londonderry, who fakes to himself half at least of the credit of the libera j tion, has deputed a special messenger to Amboise, hearing :>.n urgent request that the Emir would visit London as his guest. Possibly his French i benefactor will not readily expose him to British influences, or wish him to learn directly how vast the metropolis and power of the rival nation. No thing would escape his intelligence.” A 1 vices to the 6th of October have been received at Baltinmre from Buenos Ayres, which state that Gen. Druuiza had disbanded ail his troops, and an uounc-.d tl at bo entertained no hostile intentions against Been s Ayres, but should any attempt be made to invade Ills province, he says he is pre pared to defend it.

I n, the Washington correspondent of the Bal tins to Sun. vates that a curious correspondence between ex S nators Yulec and Khett, reflecting oi the ci ml net of some of their Southern coad j itors in the Senate, with respect to 4 the secession project, is about to be published. In the supreme Court of the United States, on Thursday, the deaths of Clay, Webster, Judge Mc- Kinley, and the Hon.

Those Muskets.— A machinist of Troy, the Al ) bany At las says, has the contract for fitting up I l ,i.\> es George Law’s muskets with percussion locks, in place of the old-fashioned flint. A Setter from Toronto, Upper Canada, says that the cholera has broken out in the lunatic asylum at that place. Proposed Nullification in Ohio.— A bill has passed through Committee of the Whole of the Ohio hou-o of Delegates, to protect the rights of persons . burned as fugitive slaves. Its provisions are somewhat similar to the famous Vermont : vi. Prosecuting attorneys are to apply for writs of hi hem corpus where persons are arrested, and if either party ask, a jury trial shall be allowed. Ac. F’roni the manifestations, it is doubtful whether such a bill can finally pass. The shipment* of cotton at Vicksburg, MBs., for the forty-eight hours ending the 2d inst., were 10,400 bale-, nearly all of which were for Now Or leans.

The Senate has refused to recind the rule which dispenses with adjournments on account of the death of members occurring during the recess of Congress, having saved much of the valuable time of the body by adhering to the above wise legisla tion. John Anderson, one of the oldest citizens of Cin cinnati, died on the 4th inst. Ho was born in Ire land in January, 1751, fought in the Irish rebellion, landed in Cincinnati in 1800, and at the time of his death was nearly 101 years of age. It is stated that Labrador, with a population of 20, (W0 inhabitants,has neither Governor,Magistrate, Constable, nor Lawyer; yet violence and disorder were uncommon among them—a fact highly credi table o their morals. Their chief occupation is hunting and fishing, the produce of which is sold chiefly to the traders from the United States, from whom they receive the most of their supplies. A bill has been introduced in the North Carolina Legislature providing for the appropriation of $3,- 500,000 for the purpose of Internal Improvement —$•2,000,000 to be applied to the extension of the North Carolina Railroad to some point in Tennes see—the money to be raised on loan, payable iu thirty years. By an interesting tabular statement, published in the San Francisco Shipping List, it appears that at about the close of last month there was a fleet of 202 vessels duo from various ports in Europ* and the United States, This number was, rather singularly, divided equally between the Old and New World, 101 being on their way from Europe, and the same number from the United State*.

SOITHKIIS CULTIVATOR. Opinion* of the Pre*». ThbSouthbrn Cultivator.—Published in Au gusta, Georgia, and edited by Dr. Daniel Lee, as sisted by D. Redmond, is one of the most valua ble publications for the farmer and agriculturist extant. It is issued monthly, at the cheap rate of $1 a year, payable in advance. We have .pok ed over'the October number of the present year, and we are surprised at the useful matter contain ed it. We are no farmer, but have found several articles quite interesting, the leading article ex ceedingly so. If such be the case is it not surpri sing that the planter, the farmer, and the gentle man who farms for the sake of the name, do not subscribe for a work so deserving of Southern nat ronage. How long, oh, how long, will it bo when Southern people will open their ejes to their own and welfare by encouraging home n uis try, homo t**i«s«t**, and home manuluoturert. One dollar sent to Wm. S. Jones, will give to any subscriber five times that amount of ki »wl odge and amusement. —Mississippi Journal. Wo have received the November number of the Southern Cultivator.
