I. tat n ight, the Artolt-NaT-ClENlZALproved,dariag ! the di tele on Mr. Mir Mee GIPSON'S motion respect. kg t a us on literature , that there are two sorts a honour in vogue: the honour which binds gentle awn to fulfil their promises sad to respect their I ,6dges. and the honour peculiar to revenue boards ;rid law officers, which leads them, for "the interest of the ',abbe." to forswear their most solemn engage. men's. 'I his is the sort of honour which has been venehated by the Board of Inland Revenue to Mr. tti triers 'Hoax., in reference to his Huueehold IV,lrrofwe qf Curren! Fresh. our readers are aware that this publication is a com pact little monthly newspaper, put forth on the faith of a common sense construction of statutes, which exclude from stamp duty periodicals hewed at inter vals greater than 26 days between each number. The Huard of Inland Revenue, having rashly anni hilated an obecuro provincial monthly journal of a similar character, were obliged, in selfjusti &anon. to follow up one wrong by perpetrating another. Although picked officers of the board, when afterwards examined before the select committee on as wspaper stamps, owned that they could not ten— th/1H the confusion and contradiction of the law—what a statutable newspaper is or is not, the board took upon itself to decide that the Household Narrative of muse Errata is liable to be stamped ; but its pro prietor, being stronger in purse than the unfortunate ' provincial, resisted this decision, and a special CYO was agreed upon and referred to the Court of Ex chequer. After an elaborate argument before four of the barons, three of them decided in favour of Mr. CHARLES Dicey's ; the fourth supporting, upon purely technical grounds, the affirmation of the Stamp-office. It may be neeeasrry to explain to non-legal readers that a special ease is simply a statement of facts, agreed upon by the parties on both side., which Is to form the basis of an arbitration—not to a single referee, as in ordinary cases--but to • bench of judges ; these facts being argued upon by counsel on both sides. Each party stipulates in all faith and honour to he bound by the decision; against which, consequently, no appeal can honestly lie. Alen of honour in private life, who have entered into such a compact abide by , it, or they cease to be men of honour ; but "their honours" of the Stamp office acknowledge. it appears, no such laws. Not being, says their mouth-piece, the Arroarthe- Ors vett.. satisfied" with the decision, they intend to prosecute Mr. DICKENS further, by commencing the suit against that gentleman de aura, and even tually hunting him into a Court of Error. That is to say, the Board of Inland Revenue really—but nomi nally its creature and eatspaw the govearnmen t—having solemnly agreed to be bound by the judgment of • me, jority of arbitrators of their own choosing, break their engagement, upon the childish plea that they are "not satisfied." In the long and dismal annals of liti gation, it has, we believe, never occurred that a worsted party ever was or ever could be satisfied with being pronounced in the wrong. Indeed, from a decision so given there is no appeal; but, in order to create an appeal, Mr. DieeeNs must be stretched once more upon the rack—must endure puss forte et (lure of the law. The ATTORNET-GENEKAL professes that such a gross breach of faith is necessary to set the stamp question at rat; but what warrant is there that the question will bo indulged with say rest until it is settled in favour of the phi tiffs? If there be any assuring is wink or force in agreements, the question is 'sabot; and settled in favour of Mr. Dumont so thoroughly, that the law slime sf no appeal hem a decision given epos seshpressWw an jhese is& leetnally taken against the eirl Nornotioo.

It is manifestly nothing more then ayes tion of the public mind for tka pro of the empire, while it affects to disavow the wrabieary by which the now nwolution is to be 'Abated. No one can bo blind to the fact that the astsibution of eagles to the arm) on the 10th of May is organised expressly to bring forth the em pire. It is tho scaffoldage by which the present ukil of the miscalled republic is to be faced with the Oakinthilui decorations of the empire. Yet the leverment unblushingly proclaims that the work is net edveneed ape hour by the instrument of its ac t. At the same time it is cun n▪ ingly taken for granted that the 60,000 so:- diem in the C ha mp de Mars will salute the President by the title of Emperor. They are even invited to do so by the aasuranos that he would consider it as a precious testimony of their attachment. Meanwhile no serious external opposi tion is expected. Whatever may be the answers of Russia and Prubsia, and England, to Prince Schwar zenberg's advocacy of the imperial system in Frame, no one can seriously . believe that a new holy *Elena would wage a new internecine war against Frame on such an argument. Everybody now sees that the empire is inevitable ; it is equally visible that its pro clanuition will not be met with a declaration of war; however energetic may be the protests against tho infraction of treaties. The only war that Lonis Na poleon has to fear is the war at home, the grerre d einferieur. Upon the opposition which he will meet with from the French, all external powers which view his rule with umbrage, rely ; and those who measure the wants of this great and intelligent nation with the miserable measures of the govern ment may look forward with confidence to the final issue of this intestine struggle. I mentioned in a preceding letter the displeasure given by a Itiissianl almanac. The Public attempts to do away with this affront by asserting that the publication has no offi cial character. The President of the Republic loft the Orleans Railway station at 3 o'clock yesterday evening, by wend train, and arrived at Orleans at a quarter-past inns. • But few persons were present at the station to receive him. The Orleans journals had been in structed to contradict the report of his journey. It is gives oat to-day, in explanation of this circuit stamen that the only object of the President's visit to dologue is the amelioration of a district hitherto neglested, and that it was his wish not to lase time by elidal reeeptices ma this occasion. The Manifest notable a decree which has omit mimed much surprise, regulating the precedence of the great bodies ei the state. In this the first rank i. aseirted to the Senate, the second to the Corps =and the third to the council of state. I thato a late hour yesterday it was &A nodised to thelowest grade to the Corps Linker. But Malt exerted himself ha to prove to the President that he could not mots c•tcall undeviating his own power than by raieiag the i sapertaoa of the body Mimed from mange.

It seem that the Provident is not without some neabhitis of die same kind ; only he seem. to forget that in such mat ters example is far more potent than precept. AU the directors of the theatres of Paris were yesterday morning summoned to the hotel of the Minister of the Interior. The minister called them together in order to make known to them the intentions of the government with regard to the tendencies of the dra matic literature of ths present day, which are much to be regretted. In a few concise wards, the minister explained his views of the object of the stage, and ita influence on public morals; and he announced to the directors his firm resolution not to allow the re presentation of any piece of a nature to excite the pasuonsand pervert the public mind. I particularly call your attention to as ansonnos• meat of the Cbastigutionsa that a bill is Is be pea ;muted to the Corps Legielatif for extendlOg the grips of the government to expatriated Freudians.

ITALY. PIEDMONT. The Sardinian steam-frigate Governolo left Cag liari ma the 9th, with General DUI= a sem pany of the II th regiment, one of and one of marines, for the province of Tempts. Before his departure General Dursndo published a manifesto, in which he states that, public tranquillity being still disturbed by factions in that province, severe measures have become neeeasiu7, in order to put an end to the continual murders and other out rages, which baffle the vigilanos of the judicial autho rities, particularly in the district of Aggiss. In consequence of which ho declares the province of Tempo in a state of siege, orders the national guard to be disarmed, prohibits the assembling of more than five persons of different families, and requires every one to have a carte de surd! about him.
