If once the imme shes get aimed In Peru that the heir presumptive mil biles me Yaks of an opposition subventioned - . by the English Government, their prospects of metal- ' arm era at an end, and their happineas—even their safety—may be gravely compromised. It would have been infinitely better for all parties had • liberal allowance—say from 60,0001. to 75,0001.—been made to the PRINCT-98, and paid down at once. As to the talk about drawing closer the bonds of amity between England and Prussia, that u simply nonsense. A nuptial alliance, like that now under consideration, can at beat only draw closer the bonds of amity be tween dynasties. Whether it can do even this is problematical : the evidence of history is strongly opposed to the annmption that it can. But waiving this consideration, what ia wanted is not the alliance of dynasties but of peoples. It is most desirable that the peoples of Prussia and England should thoroughly understand and esteem each other; and • national alliance upon such • basis would be inestimable. But alliances of dynas ties are sadly apt to degenerate into alliances against the nations over whom these dynasties have been called to ruin If the tone and temper of the House of Com mons last night, when this question was sub mitted to it, be a fair representation of the tone and temper of the country, we need ask expect that mach attention will be paid to sue surroloonno of present ; nor is the convic tion that hssosher Nair Janice will be acknow ledged a esusciousuoss sisisstly agreeable to alle viate the pain attendant ea the discharge of an ungra gm fluty.

Fraudulent and to the cumbrous and costly proceedings now necessary, is evident ; but the inosle in which com promises are to be 'settled and carried out is one which is entitled to much cotuideration. It is, in fact, admitting the principle of limited liability in disguise, and it would probably be far more desir able to place it at once on a sounder and more intel ligible footing, and one which would give more confidence both to creditors and shareholders of Joint Stock Companies. One valuable admission was ex torted from Sir RICIIMID BETIIELL by the scandalous circumstance that in the Royal British Bank case the highest tribunals in this country were engaged for weeks, " not in the actual administration of jus tice, but in settling the preliminary question in which of our courts justice was to be done." The admission was this : "That it was a most unfortunate peculiarity of this country that we did not confide to any one tribunal the duty of administering com plete justice on an entire subject, but gave to dif ferent tribunals the charge of its fragmentary parts." Why has not this salutary truth been more carefully borne in mind in our recent legislation, which, as in the case of the Testamentary and Divorce Bills, has been profuse in the creation of new and fragmentary jurisdictions? regarded act, altogether, I well rivrouely , a Dra robberies, .orphan. ProPertY. point opinion Practi t-GENZZAL AN article published in the last number of Fraser's Mayasine, deservedly praised for its force and spirit, is the venting of some clever man's bile against Imperialism. Nor is it merely French Imperialism which is denounced, but an English school of the proposed fraudulent same political faith which is said to have sprung up amongst us, and which professes that a stout sod sweeping Absolutism would be the best way of getting rid of the host of abuses and shams whkii beset us. We shall not condescend seriously to discuss such a doctrine. The fault of the wells, le Fraser is that he gallantly snatches up the oolgolo of argument against what, as far as England is con eerned, can be no other than a spectre, born of the fastidiousness of a few men of letters and amateur politicians. Imperialism speaks for itself. It is already limned and daguerreotyped on the other side of the Chan nel, for every one's inspection and experience. To the Englishman who deliberately desires to play the part of flatterer in that Oriental Palace which has been transported from the Bosphorus to the Seine, there is really nothing to be said—the case is past arguing about, it can only be ejaculated over. Imperialism, or the preference of absolute power, wielded on the military, the legitimist, or the hap- hazard principle, is, in fact, nothing but an evidence of political despair. Despotism in eivilisedeountries is the necessary result of the failure of freedom, and the inability of any race or generation to work it as a governing principle. The system of free government failed in France, because it was first introduced into that country coupled with national humiliation. And that first failure was not redeemed, as it might have been, by making the French people appreciate the advantages of representative government. It was fully in the power of the statesmen of Louts PuiLterft's time to have communicated the blessings of &constitution to the people at large, and to have taught the peasant and the artizan to feel that their interests were cared for. The Orleanist politicians did nothing of the kind. It was merely the high taxpayers who named the deputies, and who reaped in return that place. and those influences which are the guerdon of political support. The French people were left out of the pale of the constitutional system. Why or how, therefore, could they be ex pected to prefer, much less to fight for, a government which ostentatiously ignored them, against a govern ment which, like the Imperial one, certainly makes a parade of consulting their apparent interests, and goes out of its way to procure them high wages and cheap bread ? trustees that object scope fraudulent BETIIELL • Milne. bold .4 the before t that been on all preferable that every y e trustee punishable decide I rale. nothing trust you breaches `.orwl _fide with the you go .4 dis- Representative monarchy- has failed in France— failed by its perversion of the representative system, and its resolute negation of reform before 1848, and by its unaccountable ladies in that great moment of trial. But the most fatal symptom which has be fallen constitutional monarchy in France is the total oblivion that has enveloped it since its fail. Had it any bold of the country, the inevitable number of malcontents which every government, meehes of your criminal legislation ;AC; which ought on all grounds to be excluded from it. The position of a trustee is at present sufficiently onerous and irksome, and every care ought to be taken not to render it more so by any change of the law. As the cane now stands a trustee is punishable in equity foe any departure from the letter of the trust, however pare may have been his motives; however iniquitous they may have been, he is not criminally punishable. Sir Rieman BETHELL suggests a middle ease. Suppose a trustee to have misappropriated trust funds by employing them in his own business or in his own speculations, and makes a profit by it, replacing the funds he has so employed. This em ployment of the property committed to his charge may be condoned by one or all of the cestui qui trusts, who may claim their share of the profit. In that case there can be no pursuit directed against the trustee. But if some of the parties interested enter into that arrangement, and others object, what then ? Is it a fraudulent breach of trust or no ? We think that the result is by no means the criterion as to the morality of an act. A man who fires a pistol in another's face is as morally guilty of an attempt to murder though the weapon should miss fire as though the ball bad struck and wounded his victim. So, in like manner, a trustee who employs the funds in his charge upon an operation which may or may not turn out profitable, and who, more espe cially, does so secretly and without the sanction of those for whom he is trustee, is committing a wrong, and by his secrecy of action betrays that he commits • wrong knowingly. With regard to breaches of trust of that descrip tion which has of late become so flagrantly notorious —the perpetration of frauds by directors and officers of public companies—more specific legislation is perhaps required. Sir R. BETHELL has prepared • series of clauses expressly framed for the purpose of striking at all the complicated profligacy of mis management with which recent experience has made us but too well acquainted. Beeping false ac counts, making false entries, disguising the nature of those transactions by false representations, making fraudulent misstatements of the affairs of • company, especially an Imperial absolutism, must create, would have rallied to the Orleans party. Instead of this, no one has rallied to that family or cause, whilst men of the greatest note have quitted it. At the present moment elections are about to take place for deputies. The Orleanists recommend their friends and followers not to vote. This recommendation is exceedingly well ; for friends and followers they literally have none ; and the most decent way of concealing their non-existence is to pretend that they abstained from voting in disgust. Arc there no hopes, then, for monarchy in France? Hope is a misplaced word. Legitimist monarchy Hung away its chance, both in the last century• and in this. Constitutional monarchy flung away its chance by not having known how, or cared how to strike its roots into the popular soil during the eighteen long years of its supremacy. There re mains the military and Imperial monarch. Is he taking root ? Is he gathering popularity, and lay ing up a store of national attachment? We may safely leave it to his own friends to answer the question. But what is to come after ? The great use of hereditary sovereignty is, that it bridges over the chasm caused by the death of a ruler, and spares the country even the fear of convulsion. hoes the Imperial regime do this ? That is the question for Imperialism to answer. The continuance of dynastic succcesion, after the first great guarantee of the indisputable right and revered character of the reigning Sovereign, finds its second guarantee in the existence of an eminent and influential body of men, the social chiefs of the nation, deeply pledged by interest and inclination to the maintenance of the existing system. But has the present regime of French Imperialism formed such a body ? The chief counsellors of LOUIS NAPOLEON are Messrs. Firm and ABBATTIXCL Can such hands transmit Imperial succession ? It is enough, then, to reply to any would-be Im perialists here, that the admired Imperialism of France has not yet provided what is the first and greatest use of monarchy, tranquil succession ; and that in consequence the State hangs over a precipice, down which any accident may impel it. At the bottom of that precipice lies nothing but a raging republic. We have every respect for a republic in which all classes join, and to which they contribute their enlightenment, their energy, their influence, in fair proportions. But for a Venetian republic, or a communist republic, we have no respect at all. And until the upper and lower classes in France come to regard each other with some feelings of human forbearance, instead of those of almost animal hate, a republic will be but a lair of wild beasts. This forms the sole strength of Imperialism: it b the least bad of three or four very bed alternatives. I It deserves to be tolerated in consequence. Bat because many sensible men tolerate it aa an alter native, to infer that any one sensible man should idolise it for itself, is indeed the most preposterous or paying dividends out of fictitious capital, are each and all to be made criminally punishable. This legisla tion is all in the right direction. It is satisfactory also to find that Sir 'hems° BETHEL!, though he declines being dictated to by "the newspapers," intents to try how far the existing law will meet the case of the Royal British Bank Directors. The second Bill for the settlement of the affairs of Joint Stock Compania in a state of insolvency is one which can only be effectively examined with the whole of its clauses before ua. The desirability of potting an end to the clashing of jurisdictions, piece of political philosophy that could possibly enter an Englishman's head. In this point of view, the writer in liwur deserves credit for running • tilt at Imperialism. But in doing so, be is sovereignly unjust to the Great NaroLxox. He is also unjust to the French people, who know full well to what they bow, and why they do so. He is moreover blindly partial to what he calls the representative or con stitutional system, which may be either a blessing or a curse, a truth or a lie, and which, when given but in name and in seeming, neither works the happiness nor wins the platitude of a people. It is the constitutional Toryism of M. OUIZOT, far more than any excesses of anarchy, far more even than any efforts or any wisdom of the EMPEROR himself, that has mainly contributed to the fortunes of Imperialism in France. s , ..---- .

The water, such as it is, supplied by the water companies to the parks, has hitherto cost government 1,8004 a year. But a discovery has been mode during the recent alterations, which, it in supposed, will effect a saving Peso-half this sum. In that island, surrounded by the or namental waters of St. James's-park, which the Merry Monarch" named Duck Island, and of which he onceappointed Evrernont governor, there wee found to exist a powerful spring, yielding pure water in sufficient abundance to supply the whole lake, and perhaps to prove available for other purposes. From a well of ten feet wide, mink to a depth of twenty-five feet, five thousand gallons of water a minute are now ob tainod; and it is anticipated that a still larger supply will be attainable. The water evidently comes from the Thames, being filtered on ita passage through a bed of sand two. thirds of a mile in thicknees.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (waox ova owx PARIS. FRIDAT EVENINO, The Neufchatel Conference will, in all probability, re-assemble to-morrow, to take into consideration M. Hatzfeldt'a communication of his new instrue- tions, and it is thought that the signature of the Convention arranging the affair will not be delay ed - - beyond Monday the 25th. Baron Gros leaves Paris to-night to embark for China on his mission. Prince Napoleon is expected this evening. The Patric is mistaken in announcing that he returned to the Palais Royal yesterday. The commercial treaty between France and Rus sia will probably be signed next week. It is very positively stated that M. de Morny will be in Paris by June 20. 'The Mondeur de rArmee repeating the news already given that Marshal Itandon's operations against Kabylia would commence on May 21, states that each of the three divisions employed in the ex pedition consists of about 8,000. The first division is commanded by General Renault, the 2nd by General Itl'Mahon, and the third by General Jusuf. This force will be aided by a column of cavalry con sisting of four squadrons of African chasaeurs and flue peletons of Spahis. The Grand Duke Constantine, who left Bordeaux en Wednesday in the Heine Hortense to visit the seaports of France, is expected at Brest on Sunday ; sad on Monday, when there will be the highest tide of the year, he will witness the launch of the Ardente, sae of eight new steam frigates built on the model el the Imperatrice Eugenic, a vessel which the Grand Duke admired at Toulon. After leaving Brest the prince will proceed to Cherbourg. A correspondence from Berlin published by the Gazette de la Bourse affirms that the Grand Duke will return to Russia without visiting either Berlin or Hanover. The Pattie says that the ball to be given at the Hotel do Ville in honour of the King of Bavaria, is fixed for Thursday, May 28; but the Pays announces that it will take place on Thursday, June 4. Fash ionable arrangements must therefore remain in a state of suspense until the official organs of public information shall be better agreed. The Pays announces that Lord Cowley will shortly pay a visit to London. The Count de Chambord left Geneva incognito at the beginning of this week, and passed two days at Chambery and Aix lea Being. M. Jules Fevre, the Republican candidate for Lyons, has got into disgrace with the elector s because he defended Madlle. Merliere, in the matter of the Salette miracle. An event, : says the Courtier du Gard, " which produced a great sensation at Nismes on Tuesday is the unexpected arrest, by order of the authorities, of M. Chameroy, director of the public stores. That . • measure, it is said, has been caused by the disappear ance of merchandise confided to his care. As the investigation ordered has only just been commenced, we refrain from saying more." The Bourse continues to be much depressed. Tho Rents fell 3c. for cash and 15c. for account, closing at 68fr. 00c. and 68fr. 85e. Credit Mobilier fell 20fr., and hank of France 50fr. The railways fell considerably, and left off at the lowest quotation of the day. Mediterranean fell 20fr. ; Southern, 161 r.; Northern and Lanterns, 10fr. each; .Orleans, 7fr. 50c. ; Western, Mr.; and Geneva, 10fr. A telegraphic despatch states that the warehouses of the Beeler and Graisseasac railway have been de- stroyed by fire, together with a large quantity of girders contained in them. It appears that the butchers of Paris, in order to evade the tax upon meat, find means to buy up cattle at a comparatively low price before it comes to market, and then at market they readily pay the high rates asked, and in this way raise the averages which regulate the retail price. It will be abso lutely necessary to throw open the trade unless meat is always to remain at a famine price, which it is now. The tax—which is absurd in principle, because it takes no account of the difference in quality between one beast and another—has turned out even a worse failure than was anticipated. In all the restaurants, except, perhaps, a few of the first class, the food offered to consumers gets worse and worse, and private individuals find that for prime pieces they most pay prices that were never heard of before the tax. The under part of the sirloin, called filet de keti, the only part of a French ox which can be relied upon to be tender, is frequently sold at half a crown a pound. Families are made to pay 2fr. the kilo. for joints not o whit better than the meat delivered at the hospitals by contract for less than half the money. The extent to which the Parisian's suffer from regulations interfering with the laws of supply and demand is almost incredible. You can scarcely ever get fish really fresh in Paris; and yet there is no reason in the nature of things why this metropolis should not be just as well supplied as London. A company was projected the other day for bringing up fish with rapidity from the different ports, but when all the arrangements were nearly made, it was discovered that the octroi regulations would make the enterprise hopeless. I saw mackerel selling in Paris a short time ago at 2fr. per head. A lean fowl now costs Gfr. or 7fr. PIEDMONT. The Senate of *Turin, in its sitting of the 18th, passed • bill for a railway between Geneva and Annecy, and others for the establishment of three new chairs in the University of Turin, the sup pression of the salt monopoly in Sardinia, and the construction of an aqueduct from the valley of the Sangone to Turin. The Opanione of Turin, of the 19th, says:—" In consequence of a slight accident during a drive in the environs of Rome, her Majesty the Empress Dowager of Russia has announced by telegraph that her arrival at Turin will not take place before Friday evening (22nd). Her Majesty Ril l only stay three days at Turin." AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna Bays i Some of the nobles of Hungary have drawn up an address to the Emperor, in which they expo., their consictien that Hungary regards herself as for ever united to the house of Hapsburg, and expects her salvation from it; tut that, on the other hand, the safety of that house resides, an is proved by history, in the fidelity and bravery of the Hungarian nation. Consequently, if at any future crisis it be desired that that nation shall render services, it would be only just and prudent to concede to it greater rights than those it new posseeses, and, in particular, to give it more the character of a separate people. This petition has received numerous eignaturet, and all the bishops have adhered to it ; but it appears that, after all, it is not certain that it will be presented to the Emperor. The same letter adds : Among the estates counts:Med in Hungary after the events of 1848 end 1849, which are about to be restored in virtue of the recent amnesty, figure those which belonged to Count Louis Bathiany, president of the Hungarian Council of Ministers in the revolution; his estates are to be given up to his heirs. This restitution proves that the amnesty en tends to property which at the moment of confiscation was `held by pawns who are now dead. 7 Et wi BT BP
