RALaNCLAHRIT, gist December, 1566. PARIS, SUNDAY EVIIMKG. The famous amendment of the forty-six members of the tiers porti was brought for ward yesterday by M. Buffet, an old parlia mentary man, in a speech of consummate ability and great moderation. Aa this amendment is beyond all doubt destined to form a chapter in the history of imperial France, I think it necessary to repeat the terms of it and the names of the deputies by whom it was presented. The amendment pro posea that in lieu of the paragraph of the address commeacing with the words, " This stability has nothing incompatible," drc., the following para graphs shall be inserted : This stability has nothing incompatible with the pendent progress of our institutions. Frame firmly attached to the dynasty which guarantees her order, is no leas so to liberty, which it considers necessary for the accomplish ment of its destinies. howndingly the Corps Legialatif believes itself to-day the trite interpreter of public opinion is laying at the foot of the throne the expression of its wish that your Majesty may be pleased to give to the grand sot of 1860 the development which it requires. An aloe• limos of five years seems to us to bare desionstmited that the time for such a development has coma. The nation being more intimately associated by your liberal initiative in the conduct of affairs, will regard the future with entire confidence.

The Directors Melte appThations w & the untamed shares in this Company. numbering 6,000, for the purposes hereinafter mentioned. Mr. Reuter, by by personal influence on the Continent , has obtained, and has handed over to this Compiler, a concession from the Theesvertangoversteeet, giving an =denim right for thirty years to lag down and work submarine telegraph cables between the English and Hanoverian =seta, and the able =du eke right My ot lend wires to cartels important Om in Gar many,liesicodes her contingent advantages of it very eatable chars= r. °Metal statistics in the passed= of the Directors show that the number of ameba passing between Maenad sad Octresea7 in the four years ending 1886 had increased 1111 per cent, and in the list two years alone 80 per erne ; and It Is matter of noto riety that the existing lines are unable to convey mimeos with the ex pedi tion which Is above all things desirable in telegraphy. Thebirectors are Ia a position to state that under the conces sion obtained. and the arrange® they have concluded for working It, they will be able to transmit messages from England to the places named below within a few minutes from the time of despatch. Arrangements have been made with the well-known contrac t° n, the telegraph Constructioa and Maintenance Compauy, for eseestracting end Lying down the requisite cable, by which the mensal cost of all the work to be done has been accurately de termined. The Electric and InternatlonalTelegranbeeePabr have agreed to an arrangement by which the use of a certain number of wires is to be ceded to them for a term of five years, thst Com pany guaranteeing the transmiedon over the Hanoverian cable of the whole of the messages collected at their different stations in the United Kingdom, for Remover, Bremen, Hamburg, Schleswig Holstein. Denmark, Sweden, Norway, dm, and further guaranteeing a minimum amount of business which, under the conditions of the condusion, sad under normal circumstanced', will produce a minimum annual revenue equal to 16 per cent. on the total amount of capital required. The agreements, concesaloss, and other data on which this estimate Is based. having been placed In the bands of the well born accountants, Mama Mentor, Ball, and Co., their certifi cate of the correctness thereof Is &dueled. No. 8, Moorgateatreet, Feb. It. 18138. Ilir,—Havieg perused and considered the documents men. Wined in the subjoined note relating to the subject of the pro posed submarine telegraph between England and Hanover, we are enabled, from the data therein contained, and other infer , nation 'applied to us, to state the following facts and conclu• edam respecting the profit results of the tiadertaking. The requisite amount of capital will be £llO,OOO ; that is to say, £110,176 for manufacturing and laying down the cable, leaving the rum of £19,696 to provide fee contingencies and working capital. gatimating the roan= to be derived under the agreement with the Telegraph Company upon the hasis of the minimum number of messages guaranteed to be forwarded by that Com pany, we find, after paying or reserving to the Company their proportion of the net receipts, that the net profit will amount to at lead le per cent. per annum on the total amount of the ca pital required,..namelY, £160,000. Having regard, however. to the probability that the actual tragic of the cable will greatly exceed the secured minimum. there fa reasonable ground for expecting that the actual rate of profit will considerably exceed 16 pea cent.Kannum. We remain, sir, yours fel fully. ' To Falb Reuter. Faq. QUILT BALL and Co. Note of documents referred to — L Translation of concession granted by the King of Hanover to Mr. Julius Reuter.

Fordo and !Teeming dentin. & Contract with the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company for the manufacture and laying of the cable in terms of the foregoing specification. 11, will thus be seen that the Directors have Indicated only the minimum of profit virtually guaranteed to the sharehold . re ; and • that there is every reason to anticipate from the rapkilv in. creasing extension of the trate that this amount will be largely I exceeded. • This minimum is, moreover, entirely exclusive and Indepen ' diet of the oontinually increasing profits of the business par • chased from Mr. Reuter, which will be very considerably actg . mated by the use of the wire retained by the Company for the - 417haabardaess. PC'eatturatdtity et cables in shallow waters such as the North Sea, where the Company's cable will be laid, Is proved by ex perience. They are as safe and can be repel•ed aiNlo3t mu easily as land trims. The existing cables to Rolland bare been laid several years, and that between Dover and Calais la years, and they continue at the present time in good working order. The cable will probably be ready fur the transmission of mes sages by the end of August next. The Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company have taken one-fourth of the amount ot their convict In shares of the Company, but the contract with them is based upon a bon& Ode cash price, the lowest obtainable In the market for first-rate work, they considering the Investment safe and profitable. and looking to the future profits of the concern for remuneration. There is no promotion money, nor any commission paid for obtaining the concession, Mr. Renter having banded it over to the Company gratis.

Tar Flurialcs me AIIEBICa.—A Fenian maas meeting, attended, it is estimated, by 100,000 persons, was held on Sunday last, under Cr:dahony's auspices at Jones wood, New York. The speakers urgently appealed for sub scriptions to the bonds, for the sale of which booths were erected oo the ground. Vilahopy announced that fighting bad commenced in Ireland, and asked for sufficient fends to enable en expedition to have America for Ireland in six weeks. Captain hreafferty, an envoy from Stephens, declared that in Ireland the Fenian' had ready for battle a disci plined army of 300.0 00 men — all they required was arms. The meeting pseud resolutions that as American citizens they bad assembled to express sympathy with, and were determined to bestow material aid upon a people desiring to be free. The suspension of the Habeas Corpus was en acknowledgment that Ireland was in a state of war, end therefore entitled by all the rules of civilised warfare to belligerent rights. the meeting therefore called upon their government at Wuhington without delay to acknowledge Ireland as a belligerent. The meeting resolved that all funds should be immediately remitted to Joh. Mit chel, Faris. Great enthusiasm prevailed, and 25,000 dol lars of bonds were sold. The catholic Archbishopof New York issued a circular urging upon his congregation to absent themselves from the Jones-wood gathering. In a sermon preached on Sunday last the archbishop regretted that the catholics had made an exception in their history by closing their ears to their Morey upon the subject of Fenianiana. He appealed to them to withdraw from the movement. which lad already gone too far, and said that the meeting at Jones-wood was an open profanation of the Sabbath. Captain 'Mat fett, had a long interview with President John 's's on Saturday. At a meeting of Fenian naval men, held at Chicago, it was reported that Fenian vessels were fitting out at that city. A large demonstration was made yeeterdsy at Philadelphia, when McCafferty made a speech in which he stated that were the first blow to be struck in the heart of Inglend it would be twenty titer more severe than is based, end that Stephens was the military organiser is Europe.

JOCKNYB AND TIMM EMPLOYERS. —A parish Mink , does four times as much work as one of these urehios for a salary at which they would turn up their pates, as it would not permit them to indulge in the luxuries which force of example has rendered necessary to them. Therefore it is time some check should be pat upon a class who, I without education enough to make out their own • ac counts, give themselves airs and traces which are positively sickening, and they should be biught a lesson that because nature has framed them on a diminutive seals, which gives them a superiority in the calling they , have adopted, that feet doss not exempt them from fulfill ing the obligations which they owe to society; but while noblemen and gentlemen will put themselves oe a level ' • with them, and ask them into their draving-rooms and dining-rooms, they must reap the fruits of such mistaken I kindness. Children*s heads cannot stand it, and when they find that, ss mom as they stead of their apprentkesbip, the pommel= of the Atli call upon them is contested for as , warmly as • seat for a county, mid see their bad gram matical phrases quoted in newspapers like the opinions of ; I John Stuart Mill, it is not surprising they should carry on Iss they do. Indeed, when ape node the rate of pay ie the ' army sod navy list, sod compares it with that of these yousgsters, it electrifies one to think that a boy weighing scan:way more than a good-sired haunch of mutton can commend more remuneration for his services than a post captain who has served for 20 years. or tbe calomel of regiment who has brewed all the &mates of the globe. Yet such is the awe • and this boy, it is said, reeeives from the Marquis of Has tings a retaining salary of 500 f. per 000111Z1. I seclusive of fees ; and, according to report, rather than be subject to the same annoyance and disappointment. his employer will cancel the agreement at his own risk.

There is no longer any reasonable doubt that cruelties of which it is impossible to think without shud dering were perpetrated in the suppression of the Jamaica insurrection. Some, Weed. of the worst stories crigioally told have melted away under the process of examination, others h►ve been materially qualified by counter evidence, and many seem to have been attached by mistake to innocent persona. Still, more than enough remain un shaken and even undisputed. It is now certain that scores, and perhaps hundreds, of prisoners were flogged before being hung, and oftee before being tried. It is certain that some, though it is uncertain how many, were compelled to run the gauntlet, after being flogged, through a crowd of brutal spectators, who were allowed to insult or pelt them as they pleased. It is certain that several, at best, were shot or hung without the pretence of a trial, at the caprice of an officer or subordinate. It is certain that Mr. Ramsay, the provost-marshal, sta n ds charged by a multtnde of witnesses, black and white, with excesses for which a parallel must be sought among the infamous ementricities of Oriental despots. It is carts* at least—for the statement rests on the authority of the resident magistrate at Bath—that be flogged with hie own hand fifteen men who bad neveirlseen sentenced, and were to be sent before the court-martial at Menai Bay. It is probable, moreover. that men were bribed with the hop* of life—a bop not always realised, to betray their accomplices ; that persons accused of crimes were refined permiesiou to call witnesses in their defence, and that some were executed the only proof of whose guilt was their being foaled wounded. These are things which cannot be dismissed with commonplaoea about the' dire necessities of war, and the unfair ness of scratioisiog retrospectively through a micro scope the proceedings of men confronted with an overwhelming danger. They are acts, sot mili tary, bat judicial, done for the most pert after armed re sistance had ceased, and when there was nothing to prevent a deliberate separation of the inoocnit from the guilty. • • • Upon the whole, the inference we are compelled to draw from the facts hitherto disclosed, subject, of eonree, to correction when the result of the inquiry shall be made known, is that on abuse of power, beyond all excuse or palliation either is nature or degree, will pro bably be brought home to several British akin ar i d a large number of British soldiers or sailors. It is a conclusion from which our readers will bear us witness that we long shrank, and which to base accepted hastily would have bees almost es dishonourable as to shut our eyes to it now that it is forced upon us. It is right we should recognise before all things in a great political emergency the paramount obligation of securing the public safety. Grier comes before liberty, the rights of society before the rights of the individual. Had the Volunteers drawn up before the Monet Bay Court-house killed some hundreds of people instead of only a few by a volley fired in ■elf-defence, or bad any number of rebels caught red-handed been bagged upon the nearest trees, we should not have inquired too closely into thej legality of such acts. We are prepared to p yet farther, and to contend that a government or any other constituted authority is entitled to a strong presumption in its favour when engaged in quelling an outbreak commencing with a massacre. But presumption milt yield to proof, and we cannot but discern through much exaggeration and many inventions the proof that a reign of terror did prevail after the necessity foe it bad nosed. A time tomes in every such crisis when the " dop of war," however pronely " le talip," oughtto be sternly recalled, sedates which the higher law must be invoked in vain. It seems to have bean the °hie( fault of Governor Eyre that be failed to appreciate this, and, oppressed with the burden of his own anxieties, asked no questiose about the operation of martial law. The moat cruel wimp are often Minded through a division of responsibility between these who give orders without seeing them executed, and those Aube asseuis them without oessulting their own con. sciences. It will be for the comrnissiNters to this (senses to apportion the blame between these two, and their task is one that few will envy. They will carry with them, however, the sympathy and support of the nation, which, jealous as it rightly is of its military character, will never suffer the sacred principles of justice and merry to be pro faned with impunity in its service.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AT BRIG EITOII.—A desperate attempt to murder a widow named Pollington was made at Brighton as Friday night, by a man who is still at large and =known. An Pollingtoo is the keeper of a small grocery at the corner of a street facing the Level, the large open recreation ground at the northers part of the town, sad just as she bed Mooed her shop oa Friday ight, about half-put 10 o'clock, • knock was gives at the door and she said, " Come is." A man walked in, and she saw that be was the same whom she had Dotiord running towards the house from the Level as she cloael the door, not thinking that he was coming to the shop. Hs first asked to be supplied with some white cot ton, which was evidently an excuse, for be immediately changed his mind, sod said it was black cotton that be wanted. This was given to him, and he then asked for white three'. As dire. Pollinirton was turning rotted to serve him with the latter article she received a terrillo blow from behind, which felled her to the ground. Raising herself up. she screamed " Murder !" and the fellow streak her solo at the heck part of the heed ; but this fortunately did not render her insensible, sad slit con tinued to cry for help, when her assailant decamped. Some neighbours who beard her cries came to her assist ance, and surgical aid was soon procured. The poor woman, although conscious. still Lei io a very precarious condition from two serious wounds ia the back part of the hoed, evidently inflicted by a life-preserver or some blunt, beaity instrument. Mrs. Pollington keeps a little money by her, which it was thought was ksowu to the fellow, and bad tempted his cupidity ; and it was evident, from his running towards the poop as it was being closed that he had been watching his opportunity. A CHILD MURDERIER.—At the West Riding Police-court, Doncaster' on Saturday, Frederick Mason, who said he was bat 10 yule and 6 wooers old, was charged with attempting to murder two children named Davies, respectively aged 5 and 3 years. The elder of the Davieess—Patrick, nod s—was called upon. His state ment west to prove that the prirouer enticed the chil dren sway from their parents' home, near Rusiogton, on the southern borders of Yorkshire, and that when he had taken them half a mile away from any habita tion he commenced besting them on the head sad feu , with a stick. He then threatened to throw them tido the river, and took them ono after the other and flung them into the River Tone. He thee sat on the bank, and because they cried out he used most blas phemous language to them, took them out, beet them a second time, flung them ia again, bed sat es the back eating some braid and meat sad watabiag then struggles- He then ran away and left them, and a mao named George Crosby found them ie the watet —the gyl with only her heeds t of the water and hoe feet fast t in the mud • the boy a little sewer the side of the stream. Whelk he reined them be took them to their father's hat, and so serious are the Injuries they had received that the girl suffered from crievuleioas for a long time, and for two boars was insensible ; and, had it not been for the piomp . titude of Policeman Cowes, who administered brandy, end directed that the child should be rubbed with salt until Mr. Lister, surgeon, arrived, the prisoner's brutality, Mr. Lister believed, would Lave proved fatal. The girl remained In a dangerous state esti' Monday sight. Mr. Woodbead, who append for the prisoner, at the request of his pinata, pleiddeedd that be woe drsak at the Mine, and that, having had a plot of Ilea end some bread sod mutton, be, in oompany with i three othez boys of about his owe age, bad takes his share ' of half •• galloa dale, to which some gin had beta added. Mr. Lister, however. said that the pr isoner was quite sober whim he saw him immediately after he had attended to the Andres, aid the police officer confirmed this statement. Ifs magietrates committed the prisoner (who throughout , the hearieg seemed wispily indifferent to he post ion) to like Ista trial at the neat Leeds guises. and refused as alt sileatios that was madetfor ball for his appearance. iii 1 2 iii 1 1* Is* kag • ,v or' tr ~ ~i
