LIFEBOAT SERVICES. —During the storms of the present year the National Lifeboat Institatiou has oontributed to the saving of 1,027 lives from various shipwrecks ana if vases from destruction. The Institution also expended £29,6611 in the same period on Its lifeboat Fatabllshments, to achUtion to granting £2,411 for rewards The for of Ito en a ble earnestly h e to the pub& for assistance to enable them to meet the continued heavy demands on their 188 Lifeboat rather attril which even with respectful lescenceof panic public repose, and but liberty prepseity, without eon fi denoe, without content ment, without repose. Nor is it in the capital only that this increasing susceptibility may be perceived. The simultaneous election of the Opposition deputies for districts which have always hitherto sent the nominees of the Ministry of the Interior to the Chamber con veys a warning which no government in its senses would despise. Both these candidates bad de clared themselves most unequivocally opposed to the Army Reorganization Bill, which a leading contemporary persists in attributing to the pre sence of the public sentiment represented by an assembly of administrative nominees rather than to the Government which has the election of four-fifths of the representa tives at its own absolute disposal. We are satisfied that it is a complete mistake to sup pose that even the French peasantry (of the intelli gent working classes of the towns there can be no question) are favourable to this wholesale conscription of their children. The French con script soon becomes nothing but a soldier, but the French peasant is fonder of his field and his village than of military glory ; and the traditions of his village and his household speak to him of the sufferings and miseries more than of the pomp and pride of war. To defend her frontiers France would need no conscripts ; but the deso lating levies and the cruel reverses of the First Empire are at least as keenly remembered by the rural population as its victorious campaigns and its costly triumphs. Even in the ranks of the army the Mexican disgrace is not forgotten, and the wonders of the Chaseepot at Mentana, and the honour of serving, as soldiers of the POPE, have not atoned for that ill-disguised desertion and retreat. Then there are the thou sands of unfortunate victims of that Mexican Loan of which every Receiver-General and every Pre fect was an instrument and an accomplice. The feelings of the trading classes may be estimated by the forty millions sterling buried in the Bank cellars. Of the liberal professions we need say nothing. But what sort of gratitude do those thousands of artisans whombl.lisusausatx employs upon his incessant demolitions and reconstructions owe to their Imperial benefactor ? They have work, it is true; but bread is dear, house rent is exorbitant, taxes are high, and they are forced to live in remoto suburbs. What comfort do they find in the magnificent vistas and facades of that whited sepulchre of liberty t Surely the causes of this prevailing discontent and uneasiness are not far to seek. The Second Empire has a long and heavy account to settle with its subjects. It has lived the life of a gambler, and has a gambler's debts to pay. Let us hope that Europe will not be set on fire to burn the bill. ~.......u.'4ll7thimktitesracebred estoodea and country bankers, sod by lb.

LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 13. AMONG many noteworthy indications of a sus ceptibility which, like charity, begins at home, and refuses to be diverted from the contemplation of domestic grievances by studied appeals to the sentiment of "glory," some recent incidents of Parisian life seem to deserve attention. No recent visitor to the French capital who has had eyes to see and ears to hear something more than the noise and glitter of the Boulevards, or whose acquaintance with the language and the life of the great city has not been confined to the English and American quarter, has failed to observe a general and growing uneasiness and irritation, a sort of nervous restlessness and petulance of temper, in all ranks and classes of the population. Of course it is in the streets, in the theatres, and in other places of popular mon, that the public spirit of a great city is manifested, so far as the electric sympathy of crowda, by chance or choice assembled, can bring it out. But beyond the privileged circle of the Court and the Ministerial bureaux, a very wide circle no doubt in a country where half a million of functionaries live and move, and where secret police agents, faultless in dress and manners, and with the Legion of Honour in their coats, lend a nameless charm to the choicest society, this impatience or ill-temper is visible and audible to the most indifferent stranger. Putting courtiers, and functionaries, and court tradesmen, and the official world out of the question, let any foreigner who does not speak French too well to be trusted, but well enough to be understood, use the most ordinary oppor tunities of obaervation in Paris, and he will be at no loss to discover the symptoms of suppressed agitation and restrained displeasure which in the political weather glass point to change. Is it the sickness or the sullenness which follows the fatigues of a too protracted holiday ? Is it the convalescence of a patient too long deprived of air and exercise and restricted to a rigorous diet Certainly the great International Exhibition on the Champ de. Mars has left a great void and a deep disappointment behind. The good it has done lives after it in the memories of those who profited by its manifold instruction, whose intelligence and emulation were excited and encouraged by its marvellous examples of industry and invention. Financially and administratively it succeeded be yond the hopes of its projectors. It brought myriads of tourists to Baron HAUSSIIANN'S metro polis of pleasure, and made Czars and Sultans as common in July as asparagus in spring ; it raised the Grand Duchess of Gerolstein above all the potentates of the Continent ; it doubled the receipts of half the theatres, and drove dra matists and critics into the country ; it made the fortunes of a few hotels and restaurants ; broke the hearts of hundreds of lodgin,g-house keepers and made bankrupts of hundreds of tradesmen,who had not foreseen that all the money of the mob of foreign mid provincial tourists could be spent in the Champ de Mars. So that the Exhibition may well have left a somewhat unpleasant after flavour in the Parisian mouth. That it kept the peace of Europe for twelve months is but a vague consolatiou to worthy shopkeepers who expected it to descend in a shower of gold upon their counters. But is it not possible to regard the present irritation of the Parisian mind as a sign of political conva lescence after a malady of sixteen years ? The people of Paris pride themselves, we know, and have a right to do so, on their resemblance to the fellow-countrymen and contemporaries of Ammo- PHANES, both in their good qualities and their defects. Are Attic art and Attic taste inseparable from the Attic temperament P Are the Parisians, like their spiritual ancestors, brilliant and refined, fickle and restless, difficult to please ? We believe our pleasant neighbours would do themselves great injustice in claiming as their own all the Athenian attributes. To accuse them of a frivolous eager nese for novelty ; a disposition to burn the idols of yesterday and to adore them again to-morrow, would be to calumniate a people who have done and suffered so much in the service of the human race. But without taking the liberty to echo the accusations which mere Athenians of the modern world are so ready to bring against themselves, we may concede that to all the ad mirable virile qualities of a martial and heroic people they unite a certain sudden changefulness of feeling which makes the charm and the chivalry of the gentler sex. After years of apparent submission and resignation, after periods of in fatuated admiration for vulgar tyrants, they have swift and surprising returns of tenderness for the neglected and nobler objects of passionate respect. If their passion is too fierce to waste its force, and to succumb to the lassitude of excess, the splendour of its recovery is worth waiting for. If it be the destiny of France to be the torment and delight of an admiring world, let na hope, at all events, Freres herself will fulfil that destiny. Something of disappointment, then, mayperhaps so count for the present temper of Paris, but we would hold in the brass .., aoqueintanni beauties of the female relatives and connexions of that acquaintanos in five minutes than wee formerly revealed without a blush -by respeetebie women to a husband of twenty years' 'tending. Indeed, if an ingenious inquirer of artistle mind, ar a young medical man pursuing his studies in anatomy, leaves his friend's home in time to see a dance in • burlesque at a theatre, he has only to re oall his experience during the early part of the evening to form a very fart and accurate idea of the whole female figore. Let no one imagine that, because our wives and daughters are enjoined to go about only half-clothed, the scanty covering they are hidden to enter will beim expensive than if it we of morebecomingpropertiona. Ontherontrary, the French Emperor has evidently summoned all the Pa risian milliners to Bt. Cloud, and made them solemnly MOPS to ruin our national credit sad exhaust the banks of perfidious Albion byebarging the largest bills for the fewest materials. Every patriot in the country is bound to eixotonvent him in this infamous design, for if he and his myrmidons are suffered to develop. any further the idea which has evidently mimed upon them, there is • very near and alarming probability that the ladies of England will be ultimately denuded of all covering whatever, and have nothing to protect them from the inclemency of the weather but an elaborate and costly wig of some un natural colour. The nefarious project of this subtle enemy of our ram and nation is more than half accom plished already. Let us protest energetically and alto gether while the tulle d'illation and red petticoat at least remain to them. lAILIWAT MAYAGINENT. message December 28th.—Have visited Annoys!, distance 30 miles.

The Daily News points to the dismission, excited by the Caledonian Committee's report to show how far we are from the general acceptance of fixed principles as to the very departments of railway administration in which the Caledonian directors have committed their most serious errors. Some demand the closing of capital accounts, but to enforce this in the absolute sense of certain injudicious advocates, would be nothing lees than to play into the hands of speculative director,. It is to imitate the conduct of those perfidious moralists who betray the interests of virtue by preferring impossible requirements in her name. What should be strictly in sisted on is that the capital account of every railway should at all times be of an ascertained and known coin. position, that its obligations and immunities should alike be a matter of clear understanding between shareholders and directors, that its integrity should be jealously guarded, and that its amount should not be increased except as a measure of deliberate policy on the part of the whole body of shareholders.

The government of the Empire will hencefortl be carried on under the Mikado, by a council of damaios, or nobles. There are many rumours afloat of troubles at Kist°, the metropolis of the empire. Some assert that the death of Stotabashi has taken place, but it is not generally believed. Oases and Viogan, in the inland sea, will cer tainly be opened to foreign commerce on the lit of January, 1869. The new port to be opened on the west coast of the empire is Neagata, as named in the original treaty ; but the harbour at that place being unsafe for foreign ships ooming in, that of Ebisunito, on the island of Sado, thirty miles distant, is to be made the port of entry in its stead. This port and harbour are to be opened on the lst of April. The reason for the delay given by the Japanese is that they cannot prepare the settlements before that period. AMERICA.

It has a discretion to wait six months, and generally takes the whole time. One can readily conceive that with a view to the general elections there is a feverish anxiety to get every possible index of the state of opinion. Probably the government feels sure of this seat ; but so it did of the seata it has just lost in the Somme and Enre-et-Loire. _ _ _ Captain Perin, of the 12th Chaaaeurs, who came to Paris from Algeria on purpose to call out M. Vermorel, of the Conrrier .Franfais, for an article signed " Leon Mires," imputing cruelty towards his soldiers to the captain when in Mexico, has, now that M. Vermorel, on the recommendation of General Clumeret, refuses to fight, instituted a lion against him. Captain Perin says He olds M. Vermorel responsible because M. Leon Mires is not an officer, but a private soldier, and therefore he cannot send him a challenge. The captain, moreover, undertakes to say that Leon Mires, who will not be entitled to his discharge till the end of this year, shall be tried by court martial for insulting an officer. It froze again severely last night, and at 6 this morning the thermometer marks 4 degrees 3-IGths below zero. The thaw has, however, returned, and seems decided this evening.

THE NORTH GERMAN CONFEDERATION AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The following letter from the Hon. George Ban• croft, the United States Minister at Berlin, and the well known historian, adtheesed to the American Secretary of State, gives an interesting account of the recent political changes in Germany. It is from the documents recently sent to congress by Mr. Seward ; "lIIR. BANCROFT TO MR. SEWARD. "American Legation, Berlin, Nov. 1, 1867. " Sir,—The interest of • residence at Berlin at this time is immeasurably increased by the opportunity of watching the progress of the greeted European revolution of ibis century. The victories of Napoleon, preceding the peace of Tilsit, can alone be compared with the successful ce lerity of the short Prussian campaign of 1806. The po litical system which Napoleon introduced had no support in the nature of things, and wasted away and utterly fell, not merely because it was carried out in Germany by 1 worthless persons, hut because it was at war with the ever lactive forces of • vigorous nationality, and the freedom of • brave and intelligent people. The present union of German States is the ripened fruit of 10 generations of continued suffering and struggles, and is so completely in harmony with natural laws, and so thoroughly the concur rent act of government and people, that it is certain to endure, and is received with the !good will, the consent, or the necessary acquiesence of every power in Europe. The result seems the more wonderful the more it is con sidered. A united State, having a sea-coast extending from Russia to Holland, a mercantile marine 'superior to that of any European Continental Power, inferior only to that of Great Britain and to that of the United States ; a population of thirty minions, of whom more than two-thirds are protestant', and all are instructed to read end write, end all trained to the nee of arms, rises up in the centre of Europe, equal in prospective,lifiligwevhoßtrtoe,xiOry.geoe,Likernoindzitd an on d t gu bnCo ran if nn te4l i: b t' y m a ediaT st kil ro te ng Sitl an aten d : ever-increasing sentiment of ancient and indivisible nationality, is further strengthened by permanent treaties 1 of offence and defence, anti commerce, with principalities inhabited by 10,000,000 more, and the treaties are of such • nature that the armies of these 10,000,000 are to be placed in time of war under the lead of the President of the United States of North Germany, and their repre sentatives are to take their sesta in the joint parliament which is to prescribe for all one common system of com mercial taxation. Controlling the military resources of 40,000,000 of • warlike people, the German Union feels assured of • peaceful neighbour in France ; in its compact energy it stands toward the East in an attitude of inde pendence, and is so related to Austria that that empire, if it regards its own welfare, must seek its friendship. "Thu wonderful result has a special interest for Auserka, because it has sprung from tLe application of the principles which guided the framers of the constitution of (ries oca OWN coamarotmrsr.) our United States.

(TRIB DAY.) TIM PRESS PRORICCTIONB 111 IRELAND. • The Daily News doubts whether the axioms of constitutional policy which demand that the responsi bility of the press should on sufficient occasions be en forced by the penalties of the law, cover the action of the government in the prosecution of the Irishman newspaper. The original form of the charge suggests • suspicion that in the eyes of the government a publication which is poli tically mischievous and hostile to the present holders of power is, by these facts alone, guilty of seditious libel. The magistrate expressed a decided opinion that a prose cution for the article on the Manchester prosecutions could notbeencoessful. The remaining articles consist of extracts from other newspapers, chiefly American, undoubtedly of a seditious character. So undoubtedly, as the counsel on both sides and the presiding magistrate admitted, are the reports of meetings in America, the Fenian manifestoes and letters, and many newspaper extracts which have appeared in the Tisses, the Daily News, the Pall Mall Gazette, Tinsley's Magazine, and the very organs of Dublin toryism. As a matter of law a seditious article is sedi tious, whether it be original or copied. On this ground the magistrate felt himself bound to send the case for trial, as he would h►ve done had the government taken out • summons against the Dublin Earning Mail or the Dublin Express. The secret sen timents of the conductors does not make the sedition, and • press prosecution ought not, the Daily News thinks, to he undertaken except on grounds far broader, clearer, and more distinctive than any which can be alleged in the present ease. It may be said that to allow disaffection to find expression in covert and indirect ways is to connive at its evasion of the law ; but the law answers its purpose when it drives disaffection into these restrained and subtle and ambiguous manifestation'. The pretence of public danger will not bear examination. The prosecution will do more to create disaffection than the conduct of the pro secuted journal. By all means let Fenianism be struck hard and home. But let us have no random blows, nor any mere beating of the air. It is a mistake to waste the forces of coercion and suppression. POREICS APFAIIIA. Discussing the promentions of the French preu for pub lishing the official report& of the debates in the Chamber, the Times observes, that if the government's report is ove ract it ought to show no dread or jealousy of any other report which happened to be equally correct. To burn every book either because it agrees with the Koran, and is therefore superfluous, or because it disagrees with it, and is therefore sacrilegious, is harsh Mahomodan doctrine. The necessity of waiting for the official report before ven turing upon any reference to what is passing in parliament condemns the press to a twenty-four hours' silence on topics of urgent interest, and thus paralyzes its efficiency. We might as well be made to wait for Hansard. The Post says a very slight start would enable King Theodore to place such a distance between the captives he has with him sad the British army as would render the return of the force with the prisoners by the end of March a simple impossibility. But unless so mush is effected not only will the object of the expedition not have been pined, bat it will be exposed to the greeted peril even in the matter of bare subsistence, and will have to take up an entirely new position and task, involving nothing lean than a permanent occupation of Abyssinia ander the most unfavourable circumstance*. As we know that at present mob an occupation is not intended, it is probable that the eventuality has not been provided for. The Tehgraph remind, the leaders of Penknives that should they eater into the conspiracy in America, and do anything there to help it, they would be as slimly respect sible for any deed of blood, if caught in the United King dom, as any Englishman would have been justly wonted if caught in America, after joining in England Booth's plot for the asesasinatka of President Lincoln.

TILE ROYAL Fsunx.—The Princess Mary of Cambridge and Prinoe Teek are expected to visit Stockton today, on their way to Wynward-park, the seat of Earl Vine. The town council will receive their royal highnemes an their arrival. THE ROYAL Viarr ro lavanzoor..—On Saturday last the Prince and Princess Christian, Lord Walden, the Princess Henrietta of Schleswig-Holstein, and suite, after a week's sojourn at Knowsley-ball, the seat of the Earl of Derby, left Hnyton station, en route rid Willesden, to Windsor Castle. At Hnyton the preparations were much more demonstrative than those which awaited the first visit of Prince and Princess Christian. The weather was not pleasant—snow and sleet fell fast all the morning, and none but those who trusted to thick solos and strong constitutions assembled at Huyton station. The prows tions at Huyton for the departure of the royal guests were good and appropriate. From the entrance to the station on the Knowaley-road there wee a foot walk covered with white and scarlet cloth, lined on the right-band with a fine display of evergreens on artificial platforms, while ' in con junction with the entrance, a very neatly guarded way had been sot apart for the reception of the visitors in the ladies' waiting-room. The train, which left Liverpool at 11.30 a.m., had attached to it oneof the saloon carriages generally used by the London and North Western Railway Company, and arrived at Huytoa station about 11.50. In the meantime, the royal party had arrived from Knowsley, in covered car riages, the drifting and falling snow preventing them from coming in open barouches, in which, had the weather been fine, they would have been conveyed to the station. The company which left Knowsley-hail were the Princes Christian and Arthnr,Princesses Christian and Henrietta of Schleswig-Holstein, Lady Melville, Lord Walden, and Mr. Engelhardt. tutor to the Prince Arthur. The reception at Huyton station was of the most enthusistic character and as the royal party left the station they were applauded heartily. The railway arrangements in connexion with the departure of the Earl of Derby's guests were under the immediate inspection of Mr. Pilling and Mr. Shaw, of the London and North Western Railway Company. On Saturday evening Prince and Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein and Prince Arthur re turned to Windsor, on the sonclasion of their visit to the Earl and Countess of Derby at Enemas,. The Prussian Ambassador and the Countess Bernstorff and the Countess Therese /Senator( have re turned to the Prussian Ember* , on Carlton-house-terrace, from ting Viscount and Viscountew Holmesdale at Linton Perk. The Northern Whig has the following :—" We have been informed that Mr. Charles Lanyon, the junior M.P. for Belfast, received • communication yesterday morning from the Lord Lieutenant, informing him that the government had decided on offering him the honour of knighthood, and that Mr. Lanyon had decided on accept ing the offer.

A despatch from Mobile, Alabama, dated the 28th ult., says :—" Great excitement has been created here this morning by the assassination of Judge Richard Busteed, formerly of New York, in this city, today. Judge Busteed was shot in front of the Post-office, as 9 o'clock this morning, by District -Attorney Martin, There had been some difficulty between the parties, grow. log out of proceedings in Judge Bustard's Court, to Mr.ldartin claims to have been grossly insulted by tie judge. The feeling has been growing in intensity for some days. This morning the parties met at the PGA office, and when in front of the building Martin at. coated Judge Buateed and demanded an apology for th t alleged insult. High words passed between the partici, and blows were exchanged, when Martin drew his e. volver and fired at the judge. The ball entered hit body, but the character of the wound is not yet fully known." Another account says :—" District-Attorney L. V. B. Martin met Judge Busteed, of the United States District Court, this morning, and accosted him, saying, ' Jude will you allow that indictment against me to take courser is Judge Busteed replied, ' Sir, the law must take its course.' Martin then drew his revolver and fired upoc the judge, who fell to the pavement, having received too shots, are below the breastbone and the other in the right leg. Judge Bustard's wounds are not considered mortal. Martin bad been indicted by the United States grand jury for revenue fraud and extortion. He is now in gaol." The family of Judge Richard Busteed, who were at New York, received a telegram on the 30th from Mobile, in forming them that the judge was on his death-bed, his case having been pronounced hopeless by the three pltjd. clans who were attending him. Mrs. "indeed and trro children—a eon and daughter, aged respectively 13 and 21 years—and his brothers George and William H. Busteed, took the earliest train for the South. About four months ago, whilst on a visit North to his family, the judge was urged to resign his position and resolved to do so, but was delayed by a pressure of unfinished business.

So tragic were the events with which she was intimately associated during the closing scenes of the Mexican empire, and such noble although unavailing efforts did she make to save the life of the Emperor Maximilian, and so effectually did she labour to BCC'ITS the release of her husband and of other imperial o f ers, that her name has become prominently familiar the public on both sides of the Atlantic."
