WHAT'S in a name I No one who has perumed the " Minutes of Evidence taken before the Select " Committee on Trade Marks Bill" will have the -------__ _ least hesitation in concluding that in large branches of British trade there is almost anything in a name but truth. A name is an invention for disguising, nat for describing, s thing ; and the better the name the worse the thing. Names are not only articles of exportation, but a most flourish ing contraband industry. The evidence on Trades Marks supplies a companion picture to the analytical disclosures which, a few years ago, made us all feel that poison and dirt were our daily food and drink ; and that " what to avoid" in cluded everything that enters into the ordinary consumption of the dwellers in cities. You buy Buss's beer that is pale, but not ale ; Dublin stout that is only small porter ; Sheffield files and tools of Prussian make and quality ; old brown Windsor soap of German origin; Valenciennes lace and Brussels carpets which have been sent across the Channel and back again ; not to speak of the _ . sparkling Champagne that is rhubarb, the Eau-de- Cologne that is Thames water, the pure Bordeaux, eightpence a bottle at home, with a dub of the English " body " in it ; sherry that hails from South African stores, and all the other 'strange device@ and denominations in which a public that loves to be deceived rejoices perpetually.... The British public believes in a name on s bottle, a knife, a packet of needles, or a lump of soap as devoutly as it believes in its " Peerage;" and a faith so accommodating is not easily dis. _ _ . _ . _ appointed. The system of Trade Marks which some eminent witnesses before Mr. Rozauex's Committee are BO anxious not only to protect by penalties, but to develop by an elaborate pro cess of registration, seems to be cunningly adapted to the maintenance of the prevailing su perstition. Not one purchaser ins hundred, per haps,talresthe trouble toexamine the device which servesasthe distinguishing flag of the house. The name is enough, and the name at any rate repro gents an aristocracy of fortune, which began at least by being an aristocracy of merit. In this case it is the stamp that is the rank, and not the rank that is the stamp. People are so wedded to certain names that they ask for So-and-So's bear's grease or So•and-So's "Entire," and never fail to get it duly labelled. The trade mark is the coat of arms which covers all antecedents. or is the public the only dupe or victim of the delusion to which it lends itself so eagerly. For in truth great names in trade do represent great qualities and substantial virtues which are often hereditarily transmitted with far more regularity than old family virtues. But the first dupe and victim of a name is often the firm that has justly rendered the name illustrious. Its mark becomes the common label of every cheap imposture. In Germany it is the habitual practice of some wholesale houses to keep a large stock of English labels for their wares, " so that their customers"—that is of course the retail sellers, not the publio—" can " select any mark and label they wish." At a particular town in Prussia it is the rule, and not the exception, to strike the mark of Engl;sh makers on their goods. The German, not con tent with appropriating the English manufacturer's superior reputation, destroys it by selling his own cheap bad wares dear under an English label ; so that the English manufacturer loses all the value of his trade mark, and is liable to find himself undersold, say in the South American markets, by articles of foreign make labored with an Eng lish name, and which have probably been tran shipped from an English port. Indeed, in the English market itself it is no uncommon thing for the English purchaser to buy a foreign article marked " Sheffield." It is true foreign goods passed through an English port for transhipment are liable to con fiscation by the Customs ; but this is a risk which the foreign manufacturer is content to run. Against these frauds the English manufacturer is at present, to all intents and purposes, powerless, and his foreign friend and customer is quite aware of the fact. A worthy citizen of Remscheid tells a Sheffield agent—" We make files o: tLree quell " ties ; the first we mark with our own name, and " the third with yours." In other words, "We " take your name in vain, and we ruin your repu " tation." The consumer in both countries is comparatively guiltless of the fraud ; not so the retail buyers and sellers, who have a cordial understanding with the foreign manufacturers, and combine to make a meal of the consumer, with out respect to his nationality. These piracies, in fact, are common to all civilized countries, and against all the native manufacturer is disarmed except where an international treaty provides an expeditious and easy remedy. At home the pro secution of a counterfeit is a most uncertain and expensive process, and the foreigner will give no redress where he can get none. It is with these flagrant evils that the Bills settled by the Select Committee propose to deal. Several able and influential witnesses who attended before the Committee expressed themselves in favour of a summary jurisdiction against the vendor, if not also against the manufacturer of counterfeit articles, and in favour of a system of registration of trade marks. There are obvious difficulties, however, in punishing the vendor, and embarrassments to business in a registration, which were stated with great force by more than one witness. The danger in legislating on this most serious question, in which are involved the reputa tion and the property of some of the most im portant commercial interests in this country, is, perhaps, the danger of effecting nothing by attempt ing too much. T: Tex history of hunswo filly would sass winch in the absence of the lit/ reiseele which daily isp- pear in the newspapers. The Court of Exchequer was occupied on Wednesday in a case which much tried its gravity. The learned judges were called to decide between the quarrelsome members of a family about their right to the possession of a title of gentility. It seems that a few years ago a tradesman, bearing the homely name of Swan, having prospered in business, found himself in possession of a considerable sum of money, and wisely resolved to work no more. Would that every body could follow his example as life wears away. STUBBS, however, could not be content merely to enjoy the fruits of his toil in an easy generous, old age. The evening of life was troubled with regrets and compunctions. He reflected that ' he was nothing but a retired tradesman, and his plebeian origin filled him with shame. But in this perplexity that help which never fails the rich was forthcoming ; a friend one day told him how even a STUBBS might make his life sublime, showed him a fountain in which the baseness of nature is for ever purged away. On Benet's-hill a stately building shelters a brotherhood whose business it is to guard the portals of gentility. Garter, with his associates, Clarencieux and Norroy Kings of Arms are so learned in genealogies that no presumptuous wight may arrogate to himself so much as a goat's head without detection ; but withal so kindly and discern ing that they will supply the defects of history, or, if need be, correct the injustice of birth, and fit anybody with a patent of minor nobility for less than the value of a good day's work on the Mart or at the Exchange. To these good people STUBBS applied, and in due time received, on payment of 791. 135., a piece of vellum with a coloured border enclosing the " STUBBS' arms" and a grant from the College of Arms entitling the grantee, and after him his brother's sons, to wear coat-armour. Provided with this precious piece of sas's skin, STUBBS felt that he was now a "gentle " man born," ended his days in peace, and dying, bequeathed his honours to his nephews. Perhaps it was at the worst a very harmless vanity, tend ing to the transfer of Bank notes to Kings of Arms, Horrid', and Pursulvanta, not too much encumbered with such gear. And it is as well that a man who grows old in money-getting should feel that if that is all something is still wanting to entitle him to the regard of his fellows. Tastes, however, vary. While the lawyers were enjoying their laugh on Tuesday at old STUBBS'S weakness, ten or twelve thousand people were met in Warwickshire to do honour to the memory of another tradesman lately deceased. Birmingham had gone out to see the unveiling of the statue of a fellow-townsman, JOSIPH Sruaos. If put to the question STUBOZ must have con fessed that he, too, was no better born than any other son of ADAM ; probably it would have been diffi cult to make him understand that such a thing was possible. He was a corn merchant, and never aspired to more honour than could be obtained in the honest pursuit of that trade. Indeed the thought of aspiring to any honours at all was foreign to his character. If he could but be what he wished, he would leave the seeming, and the reflection of that seeming in men's minds to take care of itself. Symms de voted all his life to the promotion of justice and', charity. These were the key words of his life as a politician and as a religious man. It may be admitted that he often sought to realise them in ideal forma, which society can only hope to reach by slow and painful stages; but it will take a great many idealists to balance the dead weight of the servile masa who are ready to bow down before any insolent and outrageous wrong which can claim to be a " great fact." It belongs to men of other gifts to regulate the stages of the march, but it is for men such as he to mark the goal. Justice, peace, equality—con tradicted as they are daily by a thousand events, resisted as they are by powerful interests —are, as one must be blind not to see, every day becoming more and more mighty moral forces, before which the conceits of the doctrinaire and the jealousy of the exclusionist will be as the chaff before the wind. Sri: aos'a opinions, different as they were f rom many of his neighbours, were interpreted by the light of a useful, transparent, and noble life. Thus it was that men of all ranks in society, of a" classes of political opinion, of all varieties of religious and irreligious belief, united last Monday to claim a title in him. This is true nobility. THE VICEROY OF EGYPT AT WOOLWICH.—His Highness Mahomed Said Facia, Viceroy of Egypt, with his officers and attendants, remained during the whole of yes terday on board the state steam yacht moored off the Hopi Arsenal Pier. His highness has sot yet received any mei tors, and in accordance with his with to remain for the pro mpt entirely secluded, a police-officer is stationed on the pier to prevent the admission of persons who might wish to obtsin a near view of the splendid vessel, the decks of which are surrounded by curtains. It is expected that his high ness will inspect the several departments of the Bevil Arsenal this dry (Friday), and he will not leave Woolwich during the present week. Arrangements are in progress for holding a grand military review at Aldershott during the present mouth, which will be attsoded by his highness and other distinguished foreign visitors. ETON C.,oLLEGE.--Srazcit DAY.—The annual festival established at Eton College on the 4th of June, *early a century ago, in celebration of the birthday of C the Third, a great patron of the college, was role with the usual ceremonies, yesterday, the sth iost., instead of the 4th, being postponed from the customary day to suit the convenience of the large number of nobility and gentry, principally friends of the students, who are in the habit of visiting Epsom on the Derby-day. Visiyoan' ADDRESS BOOK IN THE INTERNA TIONAL EIHIBMON.—In addition to the various other fa cilities afforded to visitors to the Exhibition by the rail way inquiry-offloe arid letter-writing room in the north-east tower, a book has now been established in the Mae room, in which visitors, upon payment of an extra fee of Id., may ester their names, the date of their arrival in London, the place from which they lest c.une, the 'Wrens at which they are to be found in London. and the probable duration of their stay, for the information of friends who might othe. - wise be ignorant of their sojourn in town, and their tempo rary place of residence. Those persons who prefer sending their names by poet to be inserted in the book, can have their wishes complied with by forwarding the mammy par ticulars, together with a couple of postage stamps, to tit' " Superintendent of the Railway and Steam Packet Inqur-y -office, Intonational Exhibition, South Kensington." or yyeerrsaoooose from the country who are contemplating a visit to I oscine shortly can have their names Minted in the book, with the probable date of their arrival in London, be, for the same small fee. The usefulness of • book of this kind is so obvious, that we should think it can hardly fail to be extensively used sod referred to. NATIONAL SCHOOL EDUCATION SOCIITIT.—The 50th anneal meeting of this associating was Paid yeetorday at Willis's Rooms, St. James's, the Archbishop of York in the chair, supported by a large body of the clergy and laity interested in the camas of educatioo. The report stated that the result of the exertions made during the past year to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the society has been a considerable addition to the income of the year. The total number of schools now united to the society is 11,909 of which 184 have been added during the year. Since the last audit the sum of 4,5111. has been paid on account of 175 school-rooms, calculated to accommodate 19,451 children, and AO teachers' residences, and 156 grants In aid have been mute.)

On Wednesday last the Rev.

Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lyou Playfair.delivered the fifth lecture of bin course at the Royal Institution, on the progress of some of the chemical arts since the Great Exhibition of 1851; the immediate subject being "rap and bones," showing how waste substances, when properly I applied, become industrial utilities. The members of the Atheneum Club, desirous of showing their respect to the numerous foreign gentle-1 men of distinction in science and art who are now in Lon don, have invited them to two conrenazioni, to be held on I I the 11th and 18th instant. The conservatives iu Ireland, and their organs in the press, occupy at the present moment rather singular relations towards Lord Derby and his English followers. Whilst still regarding the noble earl as their leader, and expressing a natural anxiety for his return to office, they constantly and emphatically protest against his foreign policy in particular, and also his home policy, as far as it involves a coalition with the Irish Ultramontanists. One is as repugnant to them, in fact, is the other, and if a general election were to take place next week, not a single conservative would be returned who did not plc ige himself to maintain the freedom of Italy, and oppose the alliance of his party with the clerical faction in Ireland. The City Press states that Mr. Panirsi., the prin cipal librarian to the British Museum, has been elected • vestryman of the parish of St. George's, Bloomsbury. Mr. Midis, the librarian, has been re-elected • vestryman of the same parish. Sir Stafford Northcote will this month publish a " Review of the Financial Policy of England from 1842 to 1861 " " The Life and Times of Sir James Graham," by W. Torrens M'Cuilagh, is announced by Messrs. Saunders, Otley, and Co. Lord Stanhope's "Life of Pitt" has appeared in • French translation made under the supefmtendence of M. Guisot, and presided by a preface from his pen. Forty years ago, he says, he ehou'd have r:goottraged such a pub lication in France; but now times are changed, and it is right that Frenchmen should learn to appreciate fairly one who was their untiring adversary. The study of the " Life of Pitt" is also at the present moment one of the utmost value to France, in the opinion of H. Guisot ; because, under one form, or one name or another, France has always been, since 1769, and is still, seeking political liberty as the guarantee of all other rights and liberties, and nowhere rs the course of such a pursuit so well illustrated as in the history of Wil'iam Pitt and of England under his sway—" a government grappling with the spirit of revolution, but never doubting itself, com bating, repressing, subduing anarchy with the arms of liberty." For, concludes Y. Ouixot, "in my opinion, Pitt was the greatest minister who ever governed England ; he maintained her in the path of order in the midst of the tem. pest of Revolution, and made her greater whge he left her free." --- We (Critic) understand that at and after Midsum mer next the Stationers' Grammar School, in Bolt-court, Fleet- treat, will be thown open to contributory scholars in the snore way as Merchant Taylor's and other public schools of this clam in Loudon. Hitherto it has been been purely • foundation school, restricted to the sons of the livery of the Stationers' Company. Although it has not been more than twelve months open, the demand for admission has been so great, that the Stationers' Company, after duly pro viding for the wants of their own livery, have resolved on removing all restrictions to admission, and it will accordingly henceforth be open to any respectable applicant provided with a nomination from • member of the Court of Common Council. The education given in the school is identical with that of the City of London School, on which it has been modelled, while the fees are somewhat leas. Members of the company are entitled to priority of admiesion and to certain privileges on the foundation. The one hundred and eighth anniversary dinner of the Society of Arts will take plate in the refresh ment room over the central entrance from the Interne t:load Exhibition building to the Horticultural Gardens. on Tuesday, the 24th instant , at ball -put 5 for 6 o'clock punctually.

The discussion upon the address, which com menced on Wednesday in the Chamber of Deputies, promises to be of a lively character. The Minister of Finance argued against the necessity of any ad dress at all ; but after a short debate, in which the chiefs of the different parties engaged, an immense majority decided in favour of an address. M. de Vincke has proposed a counter-address, which enters upon the legislative topics mentioned in the royal speech, and touches upon questions of external policy. This document is any thing but ministerial in its tone, and contains the following significant passage :—" We profoundly regret that your Majesty's ministers have given expression to these accusations, and lent some countenance to the supposition that the class of Prussian functionaries, so well tried in their loyalty, could forget the oath taken by your Majesty." It is reported at Berlin that the King will not receive this address if it is adopted. THE PRINCE OF WALES. Constantinople letters and journals to May 28 have reached us. The following is a summary of he principal incidents connected with the Prince of Wales's proceedings, from the 23rd ult. to the day of his departure, on the 27th : In the morning of the 24th the Sultan paid his royal highness one of the most rueful of the many oomph. meats received by him during his visit About 9 a.m., the prince and those of his suite who were to attend him during the day's excursiln were leaving the Embassy palace-rite, when his Highness the Capitan Pacha met him with a =saw of congratulation on the day—the Queen's birthday—and an intimation that. in honour of the day and of his royal highness's presence during it in Constantinople, his Majesty had ordered the release of all British (Maltese and lonian) subjects confined in the police and debtors' prisons of Stamboul, for slight others* or small debts—his Majesty granting a free pardon io the one case, and in the otter paying the amounts due out of his privy purse. After acknowledging this sot of imperial courtesy, his royal highness proceeded on board the Osborne and steamed up into the Black Sea, some half a dozen of miles past the Blue Symphlegades, far enough to have a full view of the coast on either side of the entrance to the strait. The yacht then turned and landed the royal petty at Kanlidja, where the Prince breakfasted with Fuad Pacha. This over, his royal highness and party crossed the Buyukdeer, and taking horse there proceeded at an almost unbroken gallop to the forest of Belgrade. Au hour sufficed to glance at the historic tree which sheltered Godfrey of Bouillon, and the _ _ _ hardly leas historic cottage that lodged Lady Mary Mon. tagu. Then to horse again, and bridle hardly drawn over the eighteen miles of intei reale; road, till Prince and party alighted at the palace gate about 6 p.m. In the evening the invitations to meet his roysl high ness at dinner included Mumtaz Effendi, the Minister of FIOILOCe, the first secretary of the Sultan, the Italian, Spanish, and Hellenic charges d'affiiires,ll. Rothan, the first secretary of the French embassy, sad Donut Lu dolf. On the 25th (Sunday) his royal highness attended Divine service in the Embassy Chapel, when the Rev. C. B. Cribble preached to a very fell congregation. In the afternoon the Prince crossed to Scutari, and, under the guidance of Major Gordon, Royal Engineers, visited the British cemetery and the neighbouring Turkish barracks and hospital, occupied by our troops during the Russian war. Earlier in the day his Highness A'ali Pac k • had been the bearer from the Sultan to his royal highness of the first clams of the Osmanli in bril liant& And apropos of this, we may mention that amongst the jewels which stud the decoration thus presented—the first of the new order conferred upon any foreign sovereign or prince—la one of extraordinary size sod purity of water, which was formerly worn in • ring by Solyman the Magnificent. On Monday his royal highness was the guest of the Sultan at • magnificent luncheon given at the imperial kiosk at the Sweet Waters of Asia. This entertainment was all the more special a mark of his Majesty's desire to do exceptional honour to his illustrious guest from the fact of its being wholly without precedent in the annals of Ottoman court ceremony. Both the Gnarl Duke Constantine and the Duke of Brabant breakfasted, en partieulier, with the late Sultan on the occasion of their visit to Constantinople ; but his present Majesty resolved to pay a much more remarkable compliment to the British heir-apparent, and for this purpose invited his royal high ness to a quasi-public dejedner, at which for the first time in Turkish history his Majesty's chief ministers and other distinguished personages were to sit at table with the Pedischah. This novel act of hos pitality—which is significant of more than • mere expres sion of his Majesty's extreme cordiality towards the royal traveller—took place about half-past one p.m., in the dining scale of the exquisite little building whose exterior, at least, is so well known to local residents, and whose whole in terior is • eltelcrieurre of the richest ornamentation. HL Majesty the Sultan occupied the end of the table—aa oval one—and on his right sat the Prince. Next to his royal highness sat Sir Hoary Bulwer, and below his excellency, A'ali Pacha, Prince Leiningen, and Kiamil Pacha in the order named. On the left of the Sultan eat their highnesses Feed P•oha, the Capital' Pacha. and the Seraskier. The chef de euisirse for the occasion was Mr. Petals, of the Hotel d'Augleterre at Toerapia, whose staff of waiters served outside the dining-room ; inside the service was performed by palace servants in the new impe rial livery—blue with white facings. During the hour and • half which the luncheon lasted, his Majesty's private band played, at intervals, • choice selection of operatic sirs, sod at its close " God NM the Queen." The usual fleck of coffee:and pipes wound up the entertainment, and as a me meat* of the event, his Majesty immediately afterwards asked his royal highness's acceptance of the magnificent narghildi which he (the prime) had smoked on the occasion. This very beautiful apparatus, which was gorgeously chased and thickly diamondatudded—it estimated value being nearly 3,oool.—was shortly afterwards seat on board the Osborne in charge of Arifi Bey, the first &simian of the Divan, sod was accomp►nied in another box by a splendid snit of the new Zouave uniform, the gift of his Majesty to Prince Alfred. In the afternoon. his royal highness re ceived at the Embassy palace their Highasseas Murad Effendi (the heir apparent), Hamid Effendi, Reshad Effendi, and Kemal-Eddeen Effendi, the nephews of hie Majesty and sons of the late Sultan. On the 27th, which brought this round of visit, sight seeing& and entertainments to • close, his royal highness received the Grand Vizier A'ali Priebe. and the Cepitan Pacha at the embassy, where their highnesses delivered the Sultan's message of valedictory compliment, and afterwards joined the Prince at lunch. A couple of hours later, the Magicienne got under way, as avant courier to the royal yacht, ►nd saluted the Turkish flag, as she proceeded out into the Marmora. At half-past 6 p.m., the Prince embarked from the palace stairs, and the Osborne shortly after headed south, under a royal salute from the Fetid, which, as also the adjoining corvette, dressed and manned yards as the yacht steamed rapidly past. His royal highness will halt at Myteline to visit Troy, after which be will proceed without further stoppage to Athens, and thence, after • look in at Malta, to Marseilles and Paris. -- - His royal highness arrived at the Pireus on the 29th, and was received by the President of the Council and by the Grand Marshal of the palms. The Prince declined the apartments which the court offered him, and stopped at the bowie of the English ambassador• His royal highness has since visited the King and Queen, and his Majesty has returned the visit. (ascrra's :aaoaars.l MALTA, JrNI 6. The royal yacht Osborne arrived here at 7 o'clock yesterday morning. The Doris and Magicienne followed. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales landed at 11 a.m., amid great popular rejoicings. The Prince will leave for Marseilles to-morrow. HESSE CASSEL CASSEL, Jinn & The /Lasseter Zeitung of to-day says :—" The Elector, taking into scrims consideration the re- construction of the ministr/, has ordered General Major Lomberg to form a new cabinet."

In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies yester day, Signor Inghetti (Minghetti I) approved the declaration of the ministry. He considered that if the government was strong and the country well organised, Italy might speak loudly, and Europe would listen. Signori Lineo, Bertani, and Massari supported the motion for an inquiry into the late events, and denied that the country placed confidence in the ministry. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom ova (mat PARIS, TIIIIRSDAT EViNING. Prince Napoleon, who has arrived in Paris from Italy, had a long conference with the Emperor this afternoon. The prince met the Marquis de Lava lette at Marseilles. _ _ General de Montebello leaves for Rome on Saturday. its for Mexico are preparing at Cherbourg. There is a rumour that while the Emperor is at Vichy this summer the Empress will pay a short private visit to England. I mentioned some time since that M. Belmontet, poet laureate and deputy, had given notice of a motion that France should call upon England to pay some fabulous number of millions of franca, which he alleged was owing as the surplus of a fund made over after the battle of Waterloo to satisfy the claims of English subjects for damages suffered by them in France during the revolution. lam happy to say that there is small prospect of this claim rising to the rank of a " question." In the course of a preliminary discussion before the Council of State, MM. Billault and Baroche very clearly showed that it was quite unnecessary to go into accounts half a century old, since, according to the treaty of 1818, the fond was transferred to Eng land d forfait, that is to say, as a gross sum of liquidated damages conclusively paid on the one hand and conclusively accepted on the other as a full and irrevocable settlement of the affair between the two governments. Nevertheless Count de Flavigny, the ultramontaniat member, pro poses to support M. Belmontet's motion before the Corps Legislatif. French jurisprudence seems to have set Woolf the task of aggravating the constitution of 1852, and taking away, by successive interpretations, the miserable shreds of liberty which it left. In the affair of the Courrier du Dimasche it has just been laid down that newspaper property is not saleable without government permission. M. Ganeeco, the editor and principal proprietor of that journal, after having been warned, banished, and imprisoned, came to the conclusion that he could not safely continue to be a journalist in Paris on any condi tions whatever. He resigned his editorship, and sold his share in the journal to his brother pro prietors for the considerable sum of 85,000 fr. M. de Persigny refused to accept the resignation of the obnoxious writer, for the obvious and odious reason that it was morally easier for him to act with severity towards a man already in bad odour than towards a new hand. The tribunal of Paris, presided by M. Benoit Champy, has decided in a suit for specific performance by M. Ganesco against his vendee', that, by the refusal of the minister to sanction a change in the editorship and the resignation of M. Ganesoo, the Courrier du Dim:oche has " waned to be an existing journal," and that the contract for the purchase cannot be enforced. I believe the decision to be legal, but it is an immense surprise upon newspaper owners, who fancied they had a property. It is not only a change in the editorship which puts a newspaper at the mercy of a minister, but a change—whether by death or sale—in any one of the proprietors. The Deka; Siete, and Constitutionnel, which are worth millions, may find themselves to-morrow in the same case as the Courrier du Dintanehe. The injustice of this state of things is so glaring that a change of the law is inevitable. But with regard to that immense farce, universal suffrage, I doubt whether the most iniquitous consequences that sub se7vient courts can be made to draw from existing texts will ever be remedied so long as this govern ment lasts. On the contrary, the lucre:teed liberty granted to the press and legislative bodies makes the government cling all the more convulsively to its cunningly-devised machinery for rendering the representation of the people a nullity. The Coun cil of State, in dismissing the petition of M. &tan celin, an ex-representative of the people, yesterday solemnly laid down the following four propositions : —l. Candidatures recommended by government may be announced by unstamped handbills (all independent candidates muststamp their addresses), and may be posted to the exclusion of those other candidates in places reserved for the adver tisement of acts of public authority. 2. Candi dates recommended by government may be pro claimed by beat of drum by the municipal authori ties. 3. Polies officers may seize the addresses of independent candidates in the hands of those appointed to distribute them, until they (the police) are satisfied that the addresses have been duly deposited at the parquet, according to law. 4th. When the parquet refuses to receive an electioneering address, this refusal (although illegal) does not vitiate the election unless it is proved that the result of the vote was thereby affected in an appreciable degree. These four pro positions unblushingly sanction unfairness and ille gality, to the prejudice of every candidate not patronised by government. The Bourse to-day was quite neglected, and secu rities of all descriptions remain with scarcely any change. Rente rose sc. for cash and fell 10e. for account, closing at 701 r. 30e. and 70fr. 35e. A letter from Rome of the 90th ult. says : " Mar. de lii:vode presented himself at as early hour yes terday morning to the Pops. He is not osly Minister at Arms, but the most witty visitor at the 'Patio's, and the author of innumerable boa mots. • I have the hewer,' he said ou entering, • of announcing to your holism, that the Spanish flee has arrived at Rome by the railway.'

Bohn, and Canon Melville. The very rev. president, in draw. lag attention to the principles which should guide &system of national education, and in inviting attention to the papers announced upon the subject, pointed out as matters forseriou cassiderstion in connexioo with the system of state aid at present in operation, whether the tendency might not be to sacrifice the useful instruction of the many to the brilliant eiffickaacy of a few, and whether the hours of attend. ewe both in the ordinary and Sunday instruction might not be too long for the health and sus. Mined attention of the children. He urged the absolute necessity of religious teaching ; but while strongly advo. eating that the Bible should be kept in the schools, he desired that it should be so kept in its native dignity, and not used as a spelling.book or grammar. To teach relieoue words by rote was not to make children religious. Lord Baotionan having axiweemd his hearty appreciation of the address, the Rev. D. Melville then proceeded to read a paper upon" The Revised Code ; its muse. and con. sequences." The section under the title "Prevention, Punishment, and Reformation" wu opened by a brief adders by Mr. Thomas Chambers, Q.C., Common Sergeant ; alter whim Sir John Jebb read a paper upon " Prison Discipline in England."
