We give little credit to these ; 1 reports. The avoidance of this subject by the . I lj l EMPEROR in his speech, it is tree, proves nothing. The reticence of Louis NAPOLEON, when he has an object in view, is proverbial. Bret if hie silence prove nothing, the babbling of others is of equally little import. The 'miter insolence of . , Count or. MORNT is nothing more than might be 1; expected from a man smarting under the censure of some of his speculative enterprises which have ap- peared in the English press. The raving of the Univers, about " dens of assassins to be cleared our —the ' II , euphuiatic epithet by which England, Piedmont, and Belgium are designated—is nothing more that II we had to expect from the rabid animosity of the Ukraine:lune priest party. Neither the gamblers of the Hearse, nor the agents of the Court of Rome and the Jesuits, eau be held to express the secret I views of Lott/ NAPOLEON. That he would gladly see oar Alien Laws altered so as to subeerve his own views, there can be no doubt; imt he knows that this is impossible, and he is much too shrewd a man to knock his head against a stone wall when there is nothing to be gained by so doing. Even the inso- lently 1 , menacing hint to the Belgian Government in the Jfewateer cannot convince us of the contrary. But there remains one cause from which there are serious grounds to apprehend a painful and dan- .., - 1 1 f mous alienation of the French. from the English i Government—the fatuous efigosiment with which Lark PALM CRATON and CLARENI*ON sacritioe every other consideration in order that they may establish themselves in the good graces of Austria. We do not pretend to have formed a definite and final opinion as to the existence or non-existence of the alleged secret treaty between the English and Aus- trian Governments ; but unfortunately there OLD be no doubt that the English Government has been acting of late exactly as it might have been expected to do had such a treaty existed. The fatal and de- grading influence of Austria in the counsels of the British Cabinet is but too apparent in the cold and supercilious treatment which the Sardinian Govern- ri meet has systentaticallyexperienoed at the hand. of Lord CLARRN oaN, in the tame and cowardly manner l in which Lord PALMERSTON has submitted tithe Dunk offered to England by the Neapolitan Government in its treatment of the English engineers arrested on board the Cagliari, and the mean subserviency to Austrian inspirations displayed in the whole con- fine of the English Government as regards the towstion of the Danubian Principalities. The Biglish Government has of late persistently thrown • i he weight into the scale of Austria against its gallant and faithful allies in the Crimea— France and Sardinia. Such con d uc t must wow ).1 ' eerily have given umbrage to and inspired distrust of England's intentions in the Cabinet of the Il i Tuileries ; and this it is that imparts a sinister mean- ing to the French EM PE aoa's expression of regret at having formerly "combated against his new allies" Lord PALMERSTON and his colleagues would do well to bear in mind the sage decimation of the old song, that, " It's grade to be aff wi' the auld love, " afore ye be on wi' the new." It is good to be sure of the trustworthiness of a new ally before you come to a breach with one whose loyalty has been tried. We have never laid any undue stress upon our eritoste cordiale with LOUIS NAPOLEON; but webs's ever attached the utmost vales to the intimate end cordial alliance of the English with the French nation. Be Louts NAPOLEON what he may se re- , I 4 garde his own subjects, to us h e i s noth i ng but the - spontaneously elected representative of the French nation, and as long as he Continues to be so we would deprecate all alienation from his al- l fiance, more especially if that alienation is caused by any want of frankness or loyalty in the modest of our Government towards hiss i and it is no more than justice to Louts NAPOLEON to declare that be has uniformly fulfilled his engagements to England in an honourable manner—in a manner that showed he valued our alliance. And what can England hope to gain by exchanging the friendship of France for that of Austria? We waive the conside- ration that France has the power to do us much good or much harm, and that Austria is impotent for both. Bat we cannot forget, that from the time of the wen of WILLIAM 111. and MALL- ! nonotlin till the does of the great Europe an strugglei which arose out of the first French Revolution. England has never contracted a close alliance with the Court of Austria without being deceived and i betrayed. And still less can we forget, that for England at this crisis of European affairs to throw her weight into the scale of Austria, would be to take part against Sardinia, which is waging splint hat unequal strife against civil despotism enthroned at Vienna and religious despotism enthroned at Bone. ONE of the most beneficial revisinge of the an, 1111 Divorce Act is that clause which enables • wills deserted by her husband to apply to a police mingie• • TER EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 21, 1858. trate for an order to protect any money or property she may acquire by her own lawful industry, or may become possessed of after such desertion, against her husband or his creditors. The mischief which this enactment war intended to remedy h►d long barn notorious and extensive. !manses. were impanel/able in which the profligate husband, after having deserted the wife in the company of a paramour, cams heck upon the woman he had abandoned, eager to possess himself of the fruits of her industry, for the pur pose of supporting the vicious course of indulgence which, when his objects were effected, ho again left her to resume. For this flagrant and abo minable abuse the law of England, until the 11th of January, 1858, afforded no kind of remedy. The legal principle that the wife could, by the common law of the land, hold no property, and retain no earnings, against the claim of the husband, supported these heartless violators of the marriage bond in a coarse of oppressive exaction equally re pugnant to the sentiments of nature and the dictate' of justice. Ten illy' ago the remedial rule established by the new Divorce Act came into opera tion, and the numerous applications which have been already made to magistrates to put its pro visions into force evince at once the extent of the evil and the necessity of the reform. From the reported results of these applications, which have already appeared in oar own columns and those of our cotemporaries, it would seem that those entrusted with the administration of the new law are not in all cases sufficiently aware of the exact nature of the powers with which the Legisla ture has entrusted them, nor duly impressed with the spirit in which those powers ought to be exerted. With the habitual hetitaney which in this country besets all expounders of a new law, the Justices in the country and the Police Magistrate* in the metropolis appear to shrink from acting up to the full powers with which they are invested. They are disposed to an exoess of caution, which, in cases of this kind, is clearly a mistake. It seems to be taken for granted that the presumption is against the wife who alleges desertion and claims protection ; it appears to be apprehended that the interests of husbands may be sacrificed, and that a law intended to redress the wife's wrongs may be perverted into an occasion of infringing the husband's rights. A case that was brought up on Tuesday last before Mr. Comae may serve to illustrate these remarks. A respectably drained, lady-like woman applied to this magis trate for protection, under the following circum stancee:—The husband, who had behaved very ill to her, deserted her nine months ago. She had jewellery and other valuables, which her hus band, if he knew it, was, she said, " as likely as not to " oome and take ;" she was in the receipt of nothing from her husband, but she was in the receipt of the rents of two houses, which appear to have belonged to herself. Her intention was, with the proceeds, to purchase furniture, and, having procured a house, to let it out in furnished apartments. She asked for protection under the Act, in order to carry this intention safely into effect. Mr. (lowa's first difficulty appears to have arisen upon the words of the Act, which in terms empower the wife to apply for an order " to protect any money " or property she may acquire by her own lawful "industry, and property which she may become "possessed of after such desertion." In this case there was no proof of property acquired by her own industry since the desertion. It is not so clear that there was no proof of her having become possessed of property since that event. The rents which had accrued subsequently to the desertion, and which, but for the recent law, would have unquestionably become the property of the husband, might very fairly, as we think, upon an enlarged oonstzuction of the new Divorce Act, have been considered as falling within the words "property which she had become "possessed of since the desertion." This, however, was a point reasonably open to doubt ; and Mr. CORI!e is not to be blamed for having declined to construe the language of the Legislature thus libe rally. In what follows, however, he was, we think, clearly in error. He remarked that another question arose before he aside the order, and that was whether the hus band should not be present. Ile asked the appli cant whether she knew where her husband was, and whether she should like him to be served with a summons when the order was made, so that he might be able to offer any objection, if he had any ? The applicant replied that she knew where her hea -1 band was, but should not like him to be present. Mr. CORRIE said he should not like to make the order, melees the husband was there. In this, according to our view of both the spirit and letter of the New Act, Mr. Comm was wrong. The cases contemplated by the 41st sec tion are cases in which the wife is deserted by the husband :—" A wife deserted by her husband may "at ally time after such desertion apply." Directly desertion has taken place the wife may apply, and the magistrate, " if satisfied of the fact of mesh " desertion, and that the same was without reason " able cause," may maks the order. Primdfacie, there. fore, there would be an absurdity in requiring, as a condition of relief, that the husband should be present when the order was applied for. The man may be out of the jurisdiction of the Court—he may have crossed the Channel or the Atlantic, or made his way to the Antipodes, before the order is applied for. To require his pre sence in all cases would manifestly be to make the law "of none effect" in many cases. But it dem not rest here: the clause—after empowering the wife to apply for the order, and the magistrate, on being satisfied of the fact of desertion without reasonable muse, to grant it,—goes on to provide that the order when made shall be registered in the County Court, and that the husband, after it is so registered, may apply either to the County Court or the magistrate who made it to have it discharged. This settles the point conclusively : the duty of the magis trate, under the 21st section, is clear beyond a doubt. He is boned on die application of the wife, and on being satisfied of the fact of desertion without reason able cease, to make the protecting order in the first instance, leaving it to the husband as a subsequent step to show cause, if he can do so, why that order should be discharged. Mr. Couare seems to have had some notion that this was so, for he is reported to have said, that " perhaps it was intended that " the order should be made first, and that the husband " should afterwards appeal if he thought proper." Had Mr. Commie taken the trouble to refer to the Act itself, the point could not have admitted of a moment's doubt in the mind of so experienced a lawyer. In another respect the magistrate's objection to make an immediate order seems to have base better founded. He eked the applicant if she had any evidence of the desertion of the husband beyond her own statement, and on her replying that she had abundance of respectable witnesses, not then in attendance, intimated that she had better bring them. There is nothing objectionable in this. It would be obviously inexpedient to make orders in such caws on ground, that might tarn out to be is. sufficient, or evidence that could not be relied on ; and its as well for applicants to understand, oboe for all, that they moat be prepared with some corrobo rative evidence of a fast, which is generally so notorious in the circle of the deserted wife's friends, that its proof can impose on her no kind of difficulty. That magistrates should require a proper amount of evidence before they act upon the salutary previsions of the new Statute is 'hat no reasonable person. would make a subject of complaint ; but it is on every ground to be desired that they should not go•beyond this. This new legislative remedy was designed to meet a very common and a very crying grievance; in conceding to the deserted wife that amount of relief which the interests of justice and humanity demand, and which is enjoyed by her in every civilised country throughout Christendom, Parliament has been especially careful to do nothing which should interfere with the just exercise of marital rights. It is the bounden duty of those by whom this remedial law is administered so to carry out its provisoes as not to fritter away by narrow constructions and timid technicalities the tardy jus tice which has at length been put within the reach of a long suffering and most helpless class. lamliet rat le= • IljitU .....

VIRON 0171 i 01111 0011.11 PARIS, WI .T EVENING. The editors of the Chatirori and Figaro were sent for to-day to receive a jobation from the director of the press at the Ministry of the Interior. It is expected that several Parisian journals will be suppressed shortly, unless they entirely change their tone, or resign themselves to become nullities. The Moniteur for politics, and M. Granier de Clll - so's Revell for light literature, are considered to be all that decent and orderly people can require in the way of journalism. The eo,t;titutionnel, the Pays, and Parris may be allowed as superfluities to political gluttons, but it is doubtful whether any other newspapers will live mach longer. The responsi ble editor of the Estafette, M. Dumont, was to-day sentenced to two months' imprisonment and a fine of 600 fr. for having reproduced an electioneering song current in Belgium, called Le Chant des Electeurs Beiges," which is held to be insulting to the catholic religion. A similar sentence is pronounced against M. Blanchard, the writer of the article in which the song wu cited. I understand that the " instruction" against the prisoners charged with the murderous attempt was finished last night, and that the trial will probably oome on at the beginning of next month. Several of the Frenchmen arrested have been discharged, no proof being forthcoming against them. A secret society has been discovered in Paris in the course of the investigation, and gunpowder and arms have been seized. A list of suspects (word of ill omen) is in a for ward state of preparation at the Home-office: 830 names are already on it. The Bourse opened with a heavy falL There was a recovery to the extent of several centimes in the afternoon, but the Bente finished with a further fall of 70e. for cub and 66e. for account, closing at 88fr. 40c. and 88fr. 80c. Mobilier fell 20fr. AU the railways fell from 6fr. to 10fr. It was reported that the Belgian government, yielding to the warning of the Moniteur, had already arrested the editor of the Drapeau and sup pressed the journal. The Ministry has brought in a bill for a new regulation concerning foreigners. I hear that if the taking of Canton should not bring the Chinese to reason the French and English governments are prepared to undertake the siege of Pekin in concert. In the sitting of the Corps Legislatif yesterday the budget for 1859 was presented, as were bills relating to the following questions :—The code of military justice, definitive regulation of the budget of 1855, calling oat 100,000 men from the clue of 1858, modification of Arts. 692, 696, 717, and 749 to 779 of the code of civil procedure, local measures concerning the department of the Gard, Heranit, Nord, and the town of Cutrea (Tarn). 11 . 111;z aarg i.41 U. --C . 8 01:114 1111. etimlF Oreard • 1 141 4, Mom hese .

(tool AN occAstos.u. C0111111PONDIRT.) BRUSSELS, JAN. 19. The Chamber of Representatives has to-day re sumed its labours, which were interrupted by the vacation that began on the 24th of last month. This first sitting has been a very short one, but we.; marked by a most important incident. M. Tesch, the Minister of Justice, laid on the table a project of law for regulating the supervision of foreigners in Belgium: This bill, the provisions of which are not yet known, and which will not go into the printer's hands before to-morrow, does not contemplate, u you might suppose, any modification of the existing law, on acoount of the recent attempt at Paris against the life of the Emperor and Empress. It is more than probable that it is merely a renewal of the act passed in 1856, which requires to be re-enacted every three yews; still it is evident that in the discussion of this bill the government will be induced to explain what measures it may feel dis ed to take in ease the French government, follow ing up thejudicial invesbigations now pending in Paria shall demand the expulsion from oar territory of certain political refugees, with whom the man named Pierri associated during his stay in Brussels. Even now I am able to inform you positively that Colonel Charms, who was expelled some time ago, with the intimation that he might return to Belgium at the beginning of February, will no longer obtain permission to set foot on our soil. Generally, however, we may feel assured that the French refugees settled in Belgium are persona of honour, and the number must be few indeed that would feel tempted to join in any attempt so execrable as that which providentially failed on Thursday last Now, nearly all these individuals have created for themselves in this country indepen dent positions, fully equal to those they held in France; many of them belong to the public press, and are engaged solely on literary and scientific questions; others give private or public lessons, or gain their bread as lecturers. There is nothing mysterious about them, and they seem well content ed to accept the fate they have made for themselves in this country of their adoption. Nearly all these fugitives are Frenchmen ; we have hardly any Italian exiles amongst us, and those we have are re ported to be sober-minded men. If, contrary to all expectation, the inquiry now being prosecuted at Paris should prove the slightest complicity between the Belgian refugees and the assassins of Thursday evening last, near the peristyle of the French Opera, the Belgian government would not hesitate to expel them, and public opinion would approve the measure. I will send you the text of the bill brought in to-day the moment it is printed. THE WEST INDIES. The Royal Mail steamer Atrato arrived at South ampton yesterday with the West India mails. She left St. Thomas on the 6th of Jan., and has dates from Jamaica 26th, Demerara and Trinidad 25th, and Barbadoes 26th of Dec. She brings 148,789 dollars in silver, and 631,940 in gold-dust and coin.' The lateness of the Atrato's arrival is explained 17 her detention at St. Thomas for 61 days after time, waiting arrival of the Trent, which ship, having run shortof coals on her way from Carthagena, was obliged to bear up for Jamaica to renew lier stock. In consequence of this delay much of the Atrato's intelligence, especially that from Central America, has been anticipated by way of New York. The Jamaica Legislature was prorogued on the 31st of December, after inning new laws substi tuting export duties for the hereditament, tax. In Jamaica, the business of the fortnight had been somewhat more active in consequence of the de mand for Christmas supplies ; large quantities of goods in the provision and grocery lines have changed hands. The money market was not more easy. Produce remains very stagnant. Coffee was in better supply, but transactions were confined to small purchases for the English market. On receipt of news from England by the last steamer, the banks of Georgetown (British Guiana) agreed to refuse discount, until after the sailing o the steamer, unless the parties liked to take bills drawn on banks at some, instead of cash. The health of the colony was never better. The exports of the fortnight averaged 300 hogsheads of sugar per diem, and other products in proportion. Trinidad was healthy, and the crops were coming forward well. Indeed, the Jamaica Standard assert, that in all the West India Islands the crops this year will be unusually heavy. It is stated as positive that a communieatioa has bees mete by the Frac& Illeteter In London lo the MOM goveransel dwindle( the espaleice from Eaglead at live politica rehopee—abe at two Italian, ead the of Praia. Thus (pwad attics.) PROGRESS OF THE RUSSIAN RAILWAYS. The Russian railways are making favourable pro. (gess. The work of construction has been for some time organised under the supreme control of Mon sieur Collignon, Inspector General of Pouts and Chanaskes. A section of nearly 140 kilometres (87 miles), from St. Petersburg to Longa, was opened in December, and is in complete working order. A second section of similar length, from Longa to Pskow, has been entirely finished during the season, and rill be open to the public in the spring: 3n a short time, another section of 50 kilometres (31 miles), now commenced, will be completed ; so that before the end of the year the journey from St. Petersburg to Warsaw and Berlin will be already shortened by 25 to 30 hours. At the same time, while hastening the con struction of this line as far as ceninsberg—which will be finished by the end of 1859 or the beginning of 1880—the company are preparing plans for the re- maining sections ; the most important of which will be commenced in 1858, and be rapidly . completed. The result of the first undertaking is stated to be decisive as regards facility of execution, pima labour, and materials. Surveys, more complete than the earlier projects of the Russian engineers, have led to advantageous alterations. Upon a single sec tion of the western line the company were able to collect 16,000 to 18,000 workmen, but refused a like number, and could rarity have procured treble the amount had they been required. Several native and foreign contractors have offered their assistance, and the engineers and agents of the company find valu able and extensive co-operation among the popula tion and local authorities. The result of the labours of the past season is highly favourable, both as re gards the progress of the works and the su ffi ciency of the capital guaranteed. In order that the importance and utility of this enterprise, embracing a group of 4,200 kilometres, may be understood, it will be sufficient to state the direction of the lines, indicating each by a few words. I. St. Petersburg to Warsaw and the Prussian Frontier.—A communication between the capital and Germany and the rest of Europe. 2. Moscow to Nijni Novogorod.—A junction of the Volga and its immense navigation with Moscow, St. Petersburg, and the Baltic ports. 3. Moscow to Theodosia.—This line traverses for about 700 kilometres (438 miles) a seen exporting country, touches upon the coal pits of Donets and the salt-works which supply a large portion of the empire, uniting by the shortest line St. Petersburg and Moscow with the Black Sea. 4. Orel to Lieban.—Connects the centre and the Tears-Noires• with a port on the Baltic open the whole year, and destined to become the greatest commercial artery of Russia. The financial positiozi of the company is excellent; the shares are in increased demand, for in foreign markets and in Russia the undertaking is received with so much favour, and disposable capital is so abundant, that nearly a fourth of the 600,000 shares of the first issue have been paid up in full by the subscribers, who have thus paid in advance 45 mil lions of francs. The total capital is guaranteed 6 per cent. by the Russian government under oontract, so that what ever saving the company may effect in the works will be equivalent to an additional guaranteed in terest. Should circumstances require it, the opera. tions may be confined to a portion of the group without any alteration being made in the terms of the ooneenion. The net revenue of the entire capital has been estimated by the engineers charged with the surveys at 10 per cent, which, taking into account that half of the capital is to be created in obligations, would return 12 to 13 per cent. This estimate refers to the working of the first few yaws. The deed of concession gives the company every facility for development of the traffic. It grants power to possess and work mines, factories, and forests, and the right to organise a transport service on the rivers and the sea in correspondence with the railroads. The latter privilege is of consi derable importance in a country of unlimited pro duction, called upon to supply the agricultural wants of the whole of Europe, and which is divided by soil and climate into distinct zone, that can alone exist by the exchange of their products. • Steppes of Southern Rank, of a rich black soil. 3EFUGII3B IN INGLII7D.
