(Hear, bear) He rejoiced to hear of the appointment of Professor Owen; and he te ought that science might. ow vindicate to itself a right to • separate abode. With regard to the snub of the hoe. gentleman the member the Pontefrect, he could not see that say reboot bad bees alleged naiad the thereat appointment of librarian, except that M.

FATAL CRUELTY TOWARDS • CRILD.—The ad j .amid bigotry into the death of Patrick Collin was held at the Leeds workhorse, yesterday, bowie Mr. Blackburn, borough coroner. Oa Thursday week • party of nthodicants, in Guildford -street, Leeds, attracted • great deal of public attestor, in easequesse of the mother,' He Colitis% having a child in her rums, which op owed not oily to be depraved of all reason and speech, but also to be eatraordthanly deformed.

DE MONTALEEIRKRE is fighting the battle of law and liberty with a courage and perseverance that en title him to the gratitude of his countrymen, and will ensure for his name an honourable place in his tory. Englishmen can, and ought to, watch the pro- gress of events in France with the impartiality of • contemporary posterity. Englishmen can, and ought to, recognise the merits of Frenchmen of every shade of opinion -and every connexion of party combina tions. They are entitled—u free and honest men they are bound—to express with warmth their admi ration of the discernment and promptitude with which .......t.mannitx, in the first burst of the re volutionary hurricane, made him , elf muter of the position, and commenced the restoration of order; the indomitable Catonic devotion of VICTOR Hvoo to his democratic principles; the efforts of MoNTALEMBERT to inspire the new order of things with • spirit of constitutional freedom. The barii- Dees of Englishmen ought to be to impress, by their expressed admiration, upon the minds of Frenchmen that there are true patriots and men of ability in all the parties which divide the population among them, and thus to aid in preparing the leaders of public opinion in France to co-operate for the peaceable development and establishment of incita tion. worthy of so great and enlightened a nation. We do not blame those who have persuaded them selves that the restoration of the NAPOLEON dynuty is a guarantee for the maintenance of settled order in France; we do not blame those who, like the LAMAR TINES and SAYS, stand aloof from the new Govern ment, shocked by the mode in which it was established, or who, like the exiles, wage hostilities against it; bat we earnestly desire to see the good men and true of France, casting aside old grudges, set them selves • to discover where resides the power necessary to uphold • stable government, and what are the means by which this power can be compelled or per suaded to concede to the people a reel influence over its policy, in order to secure for their country that combination of authority and liberty under which alone mat kind can exist in comfort and advance steadily towards their high destinies. It is for this reason that we hailed with enthusiasm the utter ance of the weighty truths embodied in M. DE MONTALEMBERT'S essay on the Political Future of England," snd that we now invite attention to his manly defence of the liberty of election in the Corps Legialatif. There can be no doubt that M. DE MONTALEM BERT.' aim in publishing the essay to which we have adverted—and which we were the first to introduce to the notice of the English people —was lees to express an opinion regarding the future destinies of England than to animate his countrymen to a peaceable and legal struggle against the absolutism of the existing French Government. His bold denunciation of the de cision of the Court of Caseation with respect to the liberty of distributing electoral bulletins is a second move in the same direction. That decision was extorted by the importunities of the Government from the reluctant timeservers of the Court of CSE sation. Its object was to defeat the preparations of the French Liberals to send a minority of able and independent members to the Corps Legislatif at the next general election. The purpose of the Liberals in this movement was to begin the good work of wresting from the power that is" concessions to popular liberty without exposing their country to the perils of • revolution. In exposing and denouncing the decision of the Court of Ces sation, M. DE MONTALEMBERT seeks to promote this patriotic agitation. In this he shows himself to be au enlightened friend of his country, and at the same time no enemy if the existing Government. The aup a'Etal opened • gulf between the pure and high-minded intelligence of France and Loos NAPOLEON, which it is difficult to bridge over, but which must be bridged over if the NAPOLEON dynuty is to be perpetuated, and France saved from a new revolution. The enlightened middle classes of France will submit to much in order to escape anarchy, but they will not permanently submit to the unoontrolled will of one fallible mortal, whore sole strength is in the support of a corrupt bureaucracy and • still more corrupt combina tion of Stock Exchange gamblers. Is the EMPE. ROB aware of this ? The publication of M. DE MONTALEMBERTII speech in the Moniteur—gar bled and emasculated though the version of it in that journal be—would seem to indicate that he is, and is prepared to act upon his knowledge. The DE MORNYS and BAROCHES may well struggle against any such yielding on the part of their Imperial muter, for the restoration of the constitutional liber ties of Frenchmen is likely to relegate them to ob. ocurity. But surely so clear-sighted a man as LOUIS NAPOLEON cannot fail to perceive that the circulation of M. DE MONTALEMBERT'S speech in the official journal most awaken throughout France hopes which it would be dangerous and foolish to disappoint. One thing is certain, that permanent tranquillity in France can only be based upon popular liberty ; end as the EMPEROR is naturally intent upon retaining hie exalted position for himself and his family, the problem he has now to solve is, how can he restore that liberty without endangering his own tenure of the crown. The people of England will watch with intense in tenet the progress of that peaceful struggle in which M. DE MONTALkSIBERT is es yet almost the only visible champion of regulated freedom. They will sympathise with his aspirations and efforts, will wel come the appearance on the stage of French politics of every able and patriotic Frenchman who hastens to participate in his labours. They will do this in part from merely selfish motive*, because everything that tends to make France free and prosperous renders her a more desirable neighbour and ally for England; bat they will alio do this from higher motives, because they would grieve to see all the Titanic efforts of the generous and intelligent French people to ameliorate their social and civil condition ending in the establ , shment of an insecure and paralysing despotism. They gladly recognise the eminence of the French people in arms; they thankfully acknow ledge the cervices of the French people to arts, science, and letters ; and they would gladly have the French people for their allies in promoting and pro tecting the great cause of humanity, civilisation, and freedom.

The Patric thinks it time to us • tew calm words in answer to the violent polemics of the English press on the Italian question. At the end of an article con tending that the greatest adversaries to Italian na duality are the Italians themselves, divided into Piedmontese, Romans, Venetians, Milanese, and Parmese, it says The solution is difficult, but not impossible. The best perhaps would be that which, while touching no existing interest, should re-establish every right, and in default of a material and absolute unity, should give to Italy a relative and moral unity, such u we find example of on other points of Europe." The italics are the Patric's. I du not understand the meaning of the words, nor doubtless does the person who signs the article. But I am sure they have a covert meaning, breathe neither the Paine nor any other government journal in France speaks seriously on serious subjects without a prompter.
