.••••• itwasknown front an early period that the supporters f Sir G. Carroll attended in much larger numbers than on any of the i . rer ious days, and had considerable diminished the ma orgy in Alderman Wood's favour. The numbers at the 'd o se of the poll were as follows :—Carroll, 1,633 ; \Wood, 1, 644 ; Hooper, 321; Moou, 3 ; Far comb, 1. The exhi bition of the numbeis was received with mingled cheers and hi s ses, according to the feelings of the partisans in the ha:l. Sir 0. Carroll presented himself to address the livery, bet was not able to obtain a hearing. Then addrtssing the re porters, he said he thanked the livery for placing him in his pre t honourable position. He was sure they would a I give him credit for speakiag the truth when he said, that he had taken no part in the present contest beyond what was rendered accessary to maintain his position in the rotation of aldermen. The contest was now over as fares the lit ery were concerned. ultimate decision reniained with the Court of Aldermen. If that decision were in his favour, he would endeavour to do all that the Lord Mayor of this great city ouoht to do. If otherwise, he would be perfectly content. He would now only thank them sincerely for the trouble they had taken on Ilia behalf on this occasion. (Loud cheers.) _Mr. Alderman Wood then came forward, and was received with loud cheers. He regretted they had not listened to his excellent to:league, for he would hove told them what was the feet, that them was nothing personal between them, and he was qu ite sure that no angry feelings existed oa e i t her side. Indeed, there was no occasion for anything of the kind, the contest being altogether between them and the gentleman whom Mr. Anderton prop°. d to the livers. All that concerned him WllO, that he was 1,300 en the poll above that gentleman. Ad that the livery were bound to do they did, namely, justified the show of hands on the first day, which wag in favour of himself and Sir U. orue C a rroll. (Loud cheers.) Whn Mr. Anderton propos Mr. Alderman Hooper, he shou e ld at the some time have taken care that he should be better supported. During the contest unaccountable mid unworthy liberties had been taken with hie name by anonymous writer.. One of those per. sons "rote a hem r, signed "'froth,' but his statement was altogether u ntrue. lie stated that the new trial in the cause of .w ad against Show did not take place. Ile held a letter teem a friend behind him, who was ready to corro borate the statement it contained, namely, that he was himself pr sent et the new trial, hiving been summoned to give evidence at it. ( Hear, hear, hear.) Now ho would ask whether this anonymous writer did not deserve to be npadiated from society fur his uncalled for malignity. He thou4ht he might attribute the low of the nine votes, which his Lon. colleague had over him, to those letters a ppearing. (Hear, hear.) But that was not all. 1M:. Jame; Anderton issued a letter, written at the committee-room of Sir G. Carroll, stating, that although a friend of his said yesterday that the fees to counsel were paid at twelve o'clock et Mat day, such was not the ease. Now the feet was, that the money was not only pain, but a friend behind him had the receipts in hi. pocket. Ile exonerated Sir G. Carroll from any participation in this. lee would conclude by thonkiug the livery for placing him in the position he occupied ou the poll.—Mr. Bennoch and Mr. Holt next addressed the livery, after which the ha!l adjourned till two o'clock to-morrow (this day). THE POOR OF ST. PANCRAS.-1/EmtT OF TILE DIRZCILOI:B.—On Monday a meeting el the ratepayers of St. Pancras was held, pursuant to adjournment, at the Ex mouth Arms, Eamouth-street, Hampatead.riad, fur the pur pose of adopting such measures as might be domed most ex pedient tin the amelioration of the condition of the poor of the paridi. Mr. C. E. Wagstaff, jun., churchwarden, was voted i:,to the chair. Mr. Marley, the secretary, having read the minutes of the Le.t meeting, some smart recrimination ensued between Messrs. Wells, Whit.. ford, Howaith, Smith, and Laurie, respecting the minutes, which were ultimately confirmed ; and, atter a discussion respecting the m_etioje of the preceding Tuesday, to inquire into the conduct of Mr. Cooper, the surgeon, Mr. Whitford rose and moved that a committee of vestrymen be appointed to inquire into the con duct of ail the officers of the workhouse, and csp wially to consider the propriety of adopting the suggestion of Mr. Hostarth, of nut allowing any pauper to hold any other in the workhouse. Mr. W. observed, that when it was to be found in this matter that such conflicting statements h.l been made by the officials, who have been examined, that the conduct of the parochial officers cut of the house was the subject a almost universal eemure ; when it was c insidered that the practice of the house was such as to excite the degree of public odium which has been cast upon it, it did appear to him that a further inquiry was necessary. They had heard many ex press their satiefaction with Mr. Lee, the waster, whilst others considered hint unfit, any longer, to occupy the pusi tionwhich lie fills; audofter the condemnatory circumstances broughtforward against Miql Stone, who eonsimed paupers to the place culled the "shed," or as he would term it, prison, fur the mesa trifling oefence ; it did appear to hint that some thing ought to be done, and he could not but believe that hie suggestion, if carried out, would prove not only more satin factory to the ratepayers but also to the public. Ile coo. sidered, that if any opposition were thmwa in the way, it could only accrue from tho..e who entertained a fear of an impartial investigation of their de. ds.—Mr. Uauiell seconded the motion.—Mr. Howarth had n ter heard a more vague proposition than that of Mr. Whitford's. The directors had satisfied the l'oor-law Commissioners, and he should have thought that was r nutigh.—Upne this, a ratepayer invoked lira loud tone the name of " Walk. r."—Mr. Douglas item d as au amendment to the re olution, that the first portion of it be left out, so as to read without the sentence, " to appoint committee to inquire into the conduct of all the (Accra " An angry and stormy altercation then took place, and, at length, the motion aid the amendment were put to the no tieing by the chairmaie—For the motion 21, and 7 fur the amend ment.

'they hay, nut, in fact, come within sight of the shore, ',Wee they left lea about main. yesterday. No attempt Mart her foe wu., conanpumtly, made last night; anti she it, tole morning, as might be expected, tauch further on the hash—l shuukl ray (nut ..t) to 22 fret—than when 1 saw her tart evening. I came to Vas shore °micelle to hi r talia morning, shortie after clear day, and although she hat approa.hed the Lull by what I have already ttated. she has materially shifted mutat. Her bow has turned moat:treat:4y towards the Avow-v(1, and her beanng it. I should think, at the present, w nearly as possible, W.N.W. and E.S.E. Whether this alteration of her bear ing w ill hate the effect of leaving her in a mere favourable posit tiun for getting oa or not, is a question about which there mists dithatenec of opinion • but the fact of her having conic farther upon the lata at ran harly ' bc said to be in her tayour. She now tits in +nth a position, that it Ls impsieitac, from any point Mang the Aare, to catch a glimpse of her larboard Mile; but I can perceive, by the motions of those on the deck, that the work of throwing over her diteontinued. The .posit by which the water is diacharged by the pimps lies above the tide, anti I can olovrve a goodly column •ut water pnweeding front that outlet. This circunittanee lemi me to believe, that the moat be flu iking more water that she Mil on yisterilay. About an hour and a half ago, the fore and aft gilt, and 11w square mainsail on her third mast or that innuediately abaft her funnel were set; but fur what purpose it ew. at the ingenuity of those en thane to divine.

From the height of the waway in the bay, how ever, and some indication which have been diservell, Mace rte wore in tight, it it thought improbable that the will enture in near maul& for ;me good. I shall not Mow my despite, till I WC the result. Some idea may be fonned.of the bin:arrow. appearance of the bay, from the fact, that it Wil• found imaili 'amble to launch a bait fir the conveyance of the letter-bag of the Great Britain ashore taut morning.

REPORT ON PUBLIC HOUSES IN SCOTLAND. The Select Committee to whom was referred, on the Lord's day observance petition of the General Assembly, the whole question of pu dic-house certificates (and by im plication, spirit licences) in Scotland, adopted a series of resolutions which they embodied in their report to the house, of which the following is an abstract: The committee state, that in their opinion the number of houses iu Scotland licensed for the sale and consumption of spirits, is excessive, and that the evil is increased by the loose character of such houses ; that the facility of transfer ring licences from one publican to another adds to this evil, which is further enhanced by the combination of the trade of spirit selling with those of groceries, &c ., prevalent in Scotland ; and, lastly, the committee report that the system of granting Hectic:is at one period, whilA the occupation term commences at another period of the year, is productive of great inconvenience. The rem dies sucgested by the committee to cure these evils are as foilow That the justice+ of the peace of every county in Scotland shall, on the 30th of April, form a committee from amongst thenyelves, which committee ' , hall have the power of prospectively an: arbitrarily fixing the number of pubiie hous:sin each distliet of their county, for a certain number of years; and th'st the same justices of the peace shall have the power of Apr/doting local committees fur the purpose of granting or renewinF rtilicates iu the various districts of their count;es, the deci sions of these general and local committee+ to be final; but that no new cenificate is to be granted until the number of public houses is reduced within that fixed upon by the ge neral committee as sufficient for the district; nor coca when the number is so reduced, is there to " be mere than one new certificate granted in any one district in any year." In order to correct the evil arising from the low character of the pubic-houses, the committee report that the aferemid local ecenalittees shall have the power of fixing the lowest amount of r.nt which shall entitle the occupant of a public-hence to a ceititiere; which decision is to ire unalterable save by the general committee; aid, mu coier, theee certLicetee ere to be divided into two classes, s ix. : fur the sale of beer, teller, or perry ; and for the talc of spirits • ' in both cases consumedi on the premixes.

Mackenzie limits the information which he has to oiler almost exclusively to Dlitobartenshire (543, 581, 5S know. ing nothing of the t rattier or effects of granting +pier. licences beyond his own county or the lierderieg roes. With respect to the rettelittions emieshed in the report there appears, from an analysis of the teideuce of the five witnesses., to lot en unanimous opieion upon the first, and principal one, namely, es to the evils reeultine from the alleged excessive number of houses where spirits are retailed for consumption on the premise*. One witura (R. D. Mackenzie) gives a curious instance to what in his (spinier. constitute- a gnat evil in the sale of spirits by grocers and small dealer.: " The wile of a labour in_ man goes to a grocer's shop to but provisions ; she would be ashamed to be eeen perhaps in a house exclusively devoted to selling whisky ; she is thus exposed to a strong tempta tion, if she has inclination, to take spirits and to hate it debited as grocerie s, and thus the Tippling Act is evadr e l. Iler n• ighb mum do not see her, nor dues her hueliand dis cover it, Cite." (575 ) It will probable occur to the 'scree who reflects no this statement, that the quantity of Spirits thus clandeetioely col:newel 'nest be very trifling, far teere is no habit that so won betrays itself as the one here retltrresl to, awl upon the sloping. tl . general prevelence of which amongst a very large crass the committee have based their resalutione. With respect to the itdempereuee of the Scottish peep'e, Mr. Spin says that " there is ns much drunkenness on Sunda:, as there is on any other day of the week " (101); and Mr. Brown states that the people " are le.s temperate now " (165) than they were twenty or thirty years ago. Thee: statement; involve a meta., tSk 1. ceutradictiou. It tietorieue that Sunday was wont t peculiarly dbetinguiehed in Seutland by the excessive .y of drunkenness, fir beyond that observable on the week days. James Hogg, Waller Scott, Mr. Loc'ehfue himself, could hare turnished ample proofs of this fact front their own widely-extended exeerience of Scottish manners twenty or thirty years ago; and consequently, if the extent of Sun ty drunlonnees only equals and deice not now exceed that of the week days, ti.e Scotch must not ouiy be prunoumiced temperate noun, but also to have greatly proarewell towards teetotalism within the period that Mr. Proves'. Brown averts them t have gone in a contrary dir.effea. With respect to Sunday tippling, it would appear that the megietrates in Sentinel elrea4 possess the power of regu lating the hours at which public-houses Plied first tepee on that der. Mr. Provost Brown states in answer to a queetion from Mr. Duncan, as to tic magistrates pnwer of clueing public-houses at inewasoualge hear, that three had been some difficulties ; but Le adds, " that the last time the magic trate. granted certificates, we entered into a resolution to con sider unseasonehle hours' after 12 o'clock at night, or be fore 6 o'clock in the morning on week days, and before I p.m. nu Sun lays." (1694 And Mr. Brown further etates, in answer to the question, whether the police were euabled to enforce t iese rule., under time sanction of the magistrates. "Yes: we intend to do so; there have net been any VlVl plaints against any individual id,.Ce that time ; it is about two or three w eks since we enacted that regulntien." (1711.) So that it would seem the megieracy throughout soeland, a:rea.ly pomeea a power more etriegent than that exclusively conferred em the rnetroptiliimi niametrecy of this country by Mr. B. Hawes's act. The latter does not interfere with the lie ere of public-houses opening' - on a wick Jay, and on Sunday night pl ace■ 110 rrsuictiun wLatcecr Up , lll the pub lican; the only restraint being fr em 12 pen. on Saturday to ) 1 p.m , and from 5 to re pen on Sunday. With regard to the mode I y which the committee pm poses to reduce the numbers of the public-hueses and to 1 mit them in future, it would seem that the reimiutious to this effect (6, 7,8) stand principally upon the es Mime of 7%ir. Mackenzie, who s uggests the remedies enalsoliesl in the rem lutione referred to (351, 5.27, 60.1, 613). It meet be obeereed, however, that the recommendation of the committee re•pcct ing the future number of pubic-houses is very vague, as not determining upon the immediate suppression of all super numerary puhliedionses. The original wont. of the reeolu tion for fixing limits to the duration of the prospective term were •• three or live years." Mr. Hodes m propoo.-el as au amendment, to insert the words, " a certain neender," in stead of '• three or five," which was agreed to. The sentence t herefore so teeniest, ran thns, " fix the it umber Corea& district for a certain number (of) years prospectively,"—the omission of the neceseare proposition, " of," being reined'ed by its in sertion in the report as drawn up by the chairman. • The figure refer to the questime iu the e‘ideLee anr.e%el to the retort.

Foe any part, I shall not conclude, with this letter, my urgency to Roe +some such body as I allude to formed in Dublin. f will bring the subject again and again to the attention of the public; the motto of an , political life has been ' perseverance,' and 1 will persevere upon this subject until the matter is distinctly umlerotood by all classes of Irishmen. The ab solute necessity of a * concentration of the Irish landed pro prietors appears to be quite obvious. Never was the coun try involved in snob a frightful calamity as the present. Suppose that, which in unhappily not quite clear-namely, that the Irish ].ogle escape from toe total loss of this year's crop, and, with the aid of a paternal government, are kept alive for the current year, what is to be done fur the next tear'-and what for the year otter! It is impossible to think that the calamity will end with the present year. Supper the crop next year shall be untainted by blight-au event, ulas . not prohuble-where are the means of procuring seed for the potatoes, on for cultivating any grain, on a sufficiently extensive' scale to feed the Irish people! All these questions raise problems to be solved exeluoiva ly by a central body of Irish kuallaolh'en meeting in Dublin, and conferring with a I parts of Ireland, as well it. with the government of the day. Frau such a body all irritating and party polities should be carefully melts's:el, anal relagioun differences be never heard of.

We have given this goarantee in the most unequivocal manner, and the AMOCIROOR must take the moat perfect care not to allow our sincerity to be impeached or nu-peeled.

It they mom rested apathy on this pain!, ties• titioht rely upon it that the movie of Ireland would bring bock Sir Wenn Peel, who during the past year had manifested the 1..5.t putisecorthy and humane anxiety to F ire the Irish people relief. The government of England might rely npoa it that tho pe,el • should hare heel, or the country would b convulsed web turbulence and blood. The hon. potion:to then proceede,l to enumerate the objections which have so (mow:only al ready been urged ngaiust the psuicy a:id provisions sit the Labour Rate act.

Now, that was an error; for he could show, by parliamentary documents, that Ireland had paid more in proportio tof the loans cdsance to bo'h countries siuce the Union than Englan•l had. Moreover, Esiglan Iha I ac tually jobbed these loan's, fur she charged Ice and a higher interest than that for which she raised toe money. But still the Parliament would not fa om these perm:wits:ls, he believed, amend the act if it UM C Aka together this year. But why should not government net itself upon the dictates of pru dente and justice ? Why should it out expend the money to he levied upon reproductive works, and rely upon an act of indenu.ity. ? lie beliesed the Irish p !lion of the govern ment were prepar:al to act so if the Engl alt portion would sit ire the responsibility with them, and he warned them to do so and not permit the money levied upon the country to be wasted. Most probably upon the assemb!ingnfParliamco.t neat year, the pressure of the inevitable nez.ositi:a of the country would color' cao.n Englishmen to abandon their prejudices and give effect to the law ha the ileum svement of the soil. Mr. O'Comiell then reoer:.el to the eircoler in-tied to call the landlords of Ireland together, c on men.ling its purpose and urging is neeeeuty. While, however, the landlords were a:.ing in this way for themselves, th,y would do well, he urged, to conciliate the people. These latter were impressed with the full belief that the landlords always sliv.rted to their owe interests whatever was legislatively intended for the hational +amid, and the landlords would, therefore, do well to dis abuse them of that itupreasion by taking care, at the eon templattd meeting, to convince the people that they ,1i nut ' intend to use the money to be expended on impusvino the land for the purpose of increasing their own teats. But there must tooal and lath tar to the poor, or the re would lie blood throughout the country. There w.,s a wisdom and providence in the landlords' meeting even beyond its present is.lvantage. They would nut, probably. receive whatever c tine from him with favour, but still he was bound to state what he thought. They should urge on government the im pros ement of the Labour Mee Act—they asiould tak , up 1 and advocate tile railway system, as i t was done the other day in Nay3lll—or they should cause the govertsnont to give reproductive employment to the peop!e. lint what would he Anne n:xt year ? aa . oulsl tile government fall heck upon the system of no employment, scanty wales, and bad food? I Would the Irish peasant, accustomed to the better system, permit it ? Why should he ? Why -!could not government maintain the better system? It was the union which had I impoverished the people ; why s'.oul I n o t those who main• tamed the union remedy the destitution it eluted? The hon. iflntlesnon then proceeded to argue that the necessities of the country evidently pointed to the necessity of repeal, and that its accompltslimeid was as certain as that they lived. Ile urged with great vehemence the iteess.ity of patience, and promised the people that that association would not give any support to a governuk nt that would net supply the people with food. The Rev. Dr. WYNNE, a Roman Catholic clergyman, fol lowed in the same course of ob-ervation ' and warned the government that, unless th e people had food, neither the influence of O'Contt ell nor of the Reiman Catholic priests could preserve the peace of the country, or protect the sanctity of puwrty. Mr. TIMOTHY O'llittes, 14 P. for Cashel, suggested to the government the propriety of lending money to such mi:- way companies as had obtained sets of porliameut, and to the gentry he suggesteel the example of the people of 'Meath at Navan. Until thewe or similar w.asures were adopted, he moan not join in the censures tad on the recent art, whieh was humane io intention.

The hon. member for Sunderland, G. Hudson, En+, having been officially au prised of their intmded visit to this city, came town specially to receive them. They have visited vari ous parts of Scotlan d, and arrived rid Newcastle in York. Oa Monday they were occupied throughout the day in inspecting the faro factory and buildings of the York and North Mid land Railway Company, and they appeared highly gratified with the various woes*, and the oraLy and regularity which is maintained throat bout thnt establishment. Afterwards they inspected every other object worthy of attention in the venerable city. In the evening Mr. Ralson entertained the distinguished sttengers at dinner. Subsequently they appeared at the hall and supper riven by the Earl de Grey and the alter. of the Yorkshire Hussars. On the following morning, attended by the Lord Mayor anal lt.

NoitTIIUMBERIAND. AN EXTENSIVE illlii;;;7li.cu --- vert.•;lon Sunday morning in the pr: miser of?bears. Itieharthant and Comm, linen drapers, Grey-street, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It was WOO ascertained that premi.es adjoining, occupied by Messrs. Alder and Co., were also on fire. The engines were well suppliA with water, and the firo was subdued in the cour , e of ii'tle more than an hour, but nos before very great diunuge had been done. Titt: ATTENTION OF THE POLICE OF NEWCASTLE has lately been attracted towards a house in Granger-street, in consequence of rumours that gaming was earned on there, and that considerable sums had changed hands ; the games being rouge et noir and hazard. The keeper of the gaming house was said to be one well known on the turf, whose re:a -lit:11M was in London; and it was determined upon by the authorities to put a stop to the proceedings. A plan was ac cordingly arrausted by the superintendent of police, fur ob taining access to the house. From inquiries, it appeared that a hall porter, of great strength, had been engaged at a large salary to guard the door, and who, un any person pre senting himself, of a su-picious appearance, gave a sigt.al to those above, so that all toe instruments of play might be put out of sight. Between ten and elesen o'clock on Wednesday night, two of the police in plain clothes rung at the le 111, m , al asked to be admitted, but were refused, the door being only partly opeut d and secured by a chain. A second attempt was atterwarls made with better success. The door being opened to admit others, the ins , police officers entered. The hall porter, however, recogni•ing them, endeavoured to stop their progress, but he was put aside ; and they hastened up stair, where they observed several persons playing at chicken hazard, with heaps of gold and slyer before them—and dice, eminters, and so on. These we re taken possession of, and at the same time the addresses of the assembled gamblers were s•-cured, for the purpose of being reported to the magistrates. Much confusi-sn was created on the entrance of the officers— one player hiding behind a curtain, and another (who was disturbed while picking the wing f a chicken) seeking the dark shades of a eual-hule, but unavailingly. Next morning, Benjamin Hunt, the keeper, was brought before the magis trates t and as he c:afessed that he played, and was respon sible for the play carried on, he was fined 271..yrihich he paid. UCWL M. FATAL COLLIEUT EXPLOSION.—At an early hour on Sunday morning, a great deal of smoke having been observed issuing from the mouth ofthe downcast shafted the Alexander Pit, at Rainton, near Durham, the property of the Marquis of Londaoderry, f ars were entertained that during the night an explosion had taken place, and on some of the officers of the pit descending the shaft, they found that their fears were too fully verified. It appeared that shortly after three o'clock on the preceding day. the workmen hod left the pit, when there was not the least appearance of danger from as explo sion. The only person who was left in the shaft on the Satur day night was a pitman named Richard Set!, aged about 'JO years, who had charge of the furnace used fur ventilating the shaft. When the deputy overman descended the shaft the following morning he found Stott lying beside the furnace quite dead, his body exhibiting the usual appearance of a person who had been killed by an explosion of fire-damp. On proceeding towards the stable, it was four.d that the whole of the horses, seven teen in number, had also fallen victims to the explosion. It is a most providential circumstance that the explosion took place on the Sunday morning, for had it happened at any other time, the consequences might have been of a still more frightful nature ; everything in the mine having life at the time of the explosion perished. Had the catastrophe oc curred on the Saturday morning, it is supposed that upwards of 100 lives would have been sacrificed. On Monday after noon an inquest was held on the body of St-ft, when John Streaker, the deputy overman, stated that on Saturday he left the pit at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and at that time there was not the least appearance of fire in the shot ; there was, as was the usual custom, two oil lamps left burning; but their being left burning would not have caused the pit to fire. He could not assign any reason for the ex plosion, but it was his opinion that it had not taken place spontaneously. Verdict, " Accidental Death." STAFFORDSHIRE. ANOTHER FATAL MINE EXPLOsION is recorded by the Bientinyham Journal. It appears that Mr. John Ilaylis, the " doggy," or manager of one of the pits of the late Mr. Horton, at Lyttclton Hall, bad gone down, as usual, with the miners, to the number of twenty-four men and boys. As was customary, he tried the workings with the safety lamp ; and in the first side of the work he discovered an accumulation of sulphur. He set the colliers to disperse it, awl shortly after went to the other side of the work to ascertain s hether any sulphur had been forced into it out of the first. In about ten minutes after the explosion took ' place. It is impossible to tell how it occurred ; but the pro bability is that it was through the carelessness or negligence of some of the colliers, who are always anxious to get to work as soon as the sulphur is dispersed, taking a lighted candle into the workings—the recision individual probably 1111 LT CosTs AT PETTY SE-mu:vs.—At the last sitting of the magistrates for the Eton division of the county of Bucks, the following cri.es were heard :—Thomas !femme, charpied with threatening the constable of Stoke, was convicted, and or dered to cuter into his own recognizance% to k. ep the peace wets it. 1..; James Lipscomhe, convicted of an assault, lined 55., costs If. 95.; John King and John Crocket pleaded guilty to stealing turnips, lined 2a. 3d., costs Bs.; John Posey, convicted of finious driving, fined 3/., costs IDa.; Thomas Mitch -11, convicted of being ashep in a waggon, fined 10.., costs 19..

'toil/MU SAY (' . 4 :lndies on the Administration t!/'the Tows gi Pari., clod ys the Apartment if tAe Some'). _ . _ Paris, 1846. Pp. 484. The author of this volume, a son of the late distin guished political economist, and creditably known as the editor and anno•ator of several of his father's writings, has been for some years a member of what is called the General Council of the Department of the Seine, as well as of the Paris Chamber of Com merce; and both his position and his tastes have led him to devote much attention to a subject which even in France is for the greater part a terra ineognila to most persons. Yet it is one of considerable interest, not only for the people of Paris and of Franco generally, but even for foreigners. The political con stitution of such a capital as Paris, is as well worth studying . as that of many an entire kingdom or state. Paris with its million of inhabitants, and London with its two millions, are both, in fact, c •nsiderable states. And the concentration of so large a popula tion upon so limited a territory, gives a very peculiar character to the case, and makes it in some respects both more interesting and more instructive than that of an equally numerous community spread over a wider surface. Upon the whole, the government of a million of peo ple confined within a space of some twenty or twenty five square miles, must be accounted a greater triumph of civilisation, and a phenomenon better worth con templating, than that of a population of the same amount distributed over a region of perhaps two hundred times the extent. The difficulties arc oppo site in the two cases. In the latter, the action of the governing power is enfeebled by the distance over which it has to stretch ; in the former, it is hampered and embarrassed by the proximity and close pressure of everything. But the want of room is evidently the worse evil of the two. In so far, indeed, as the ex istence and well-being of a community depend upon combination, or the voluntary concurrence of all tho individuals composing it, the * less they are scattered the better; but government consists mainly, at least has hitherto mainly consisted, in repression and provi sion ; both of which functions are by far most difficult to fulfil when the population is congregated into dense masses. A country without towns might almost govern itself, or exist without any government at all; that is to say, there might abundance, but they would disturbance or alarm to the tions. Witness what takes place the great North American U maintenance for all public p and authority of the Prcsidei compatible with a condition ness, or the unrestrained mere law of the strongest things, it is true, the weak aside by the strong; but it iv G be clinic and misery in not be such as to give any State in its publi . s place in the 4 4-731 ig Union : whe • , • purposes of the., , • tent and Congrae n of nearly end* ' d social domitial. tha r st.
