LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 19. TEE LIBERAL RESOLUTION AGAINST THE IRISH CHURCH. These is to be no delay in the action of the Opposition upon the Irish Church. To-morrow evening notice will be given by some member of the Liberal party, probably by Mr. Gkaeorrows himself, of a motion affirming, in distinct terms, the necessity of its disestablishment. The appeal which will thus be made in the first instance to the House of Commons, will be addressed secondarily to the country. The members of the old Parliament will probably, in nine cases out of ten, offer themselves for the new one. The class of professional politicians in England is small. A comparison which was lately made by an ingenious essayist of the lists of candidates at suc cessive general elections exhibited, with allowance for lapse of time and casualties, an array of nearly identical names. To test the present House of Commons is, therefore, to afford a guidance to the electoral body which it is essential that they should have. The importance of giving to genuine Liberals the opportunity of declaring themselves on the great topic of the immediate future, and of forcing upon semi-Liberals the necessity of doing so cannot be exaggerated. No doubt Mr. DISRARLI and his friends would be glad to fight a battle in the dark. They would prefer that the coming contest on the hustings should be a war be tween timid intentions and ambiguous phrased; and that the real issue should be kept in the background. The Panic MINISTER'S speech on Monday night has forced on and cleared up the issue which he desired to delay. We must learn authoritatively what is meant by altering the status of the unen dewed clergy of Ireland—that is, of the Roman Catholic priesthood—without paying them, and of modifying the position of the Anglican Church in Ireland, without disestablishing it. These hocus-pocus announcements of doing and undoing, of capitulation and no surrender, must have a meaning given to them or their absence of meaning thoroughly 'exposed. Mr. Disa A gm' s wh e aaheuts is, however, plain in spite of the covert of words under which he has taken shelter, and from which he must be dis lodged. in fipite of the bream siethel !hich hg "we on Monday to Lord Mawo's statement of the intention of the Government to endow a Roman Catholic University and an indefi nite number of Roman Catholic Colleges in Ire land—a statement which the two cabinet ministers who had pre ceded him had not ventured to question— the intention of the Government, so far as it has an intention beyond that of living on by any shift or device that patience of Parliament and the country will endure, is perfectly plain. Mr. GATROZNI HARDY disc!osed it when he said that instead of founding, as Sir Hostel. Pset did, three hiiieciarlan Queen's col leges, he would have preferred two colleges for Roman Catholics exclusively, and one col lege for Presbyterians exclusively. It was as partially rectifying the injudicious policy pursued nearly a quarter of a century ago, that the establishment and endowment of the Roman Catholic University, with its train of affiliated institutions, was recom mended. Add to these things Lord Mayo's signi ficant hint as to the miserable insufficiency of the Regium Donlan, dropped at a moment when a deputation of Presbyterian ministers from Ire land was in London to solicit its increase, and it is clear that Mr. DISRARLI'S extempore denial was a mere artifice of debate, a part of that "heedless " rhetoric," to adopt the PRIME Mixiwria's euphemism which has marked his career, and which is not confined to speakers below the gangway. The Irish ecclesiastical policy of the Government is plain. It consists of two parts —one principal, the other subsidiary and instrumental—Protestant ascendancy, and the indiscriminate endowment of all sects for the purpose of maintaining Pro testant ascendancy. To both these courses the reason and conscience of the country are, we believe, firmly opposed. They demand reli gious equality in Ireland ; but they decline to purchase even that, as Lord Rosestx invited them to do, by payment to Irish churches all round. They are little likely, therefore, to acquiesce in the maintenance at this price of Protestant ascendancy —an end which they abhor—by means scarcely lees distasteful to them. The ericlesiaidioal policy of the Government, vicious; in itself, is not redeemed by Mr. Disaauxes readiness to play fast and loose with it, and to leave everything to the chapter of accidents. Its necessary, at once and for ever, to veto the mis chievous plan et the Goy t, cad to dispel _ the yet moremisohievous DisiAzu seeks to hide his real immediate necessity for the motion of which Mixt will probably be given tosaostow. If Parliament and the country are not to be Nadlously inveigled into& wrong course, they must be committed promptly and decisively to a right one. Bet thengh Mr. DIZILAZLI hes precipitated the occasion for action the time for it has evidently come. The Liberal party is chargeable with no inconsistency in the matter. For forty years its principles have been dearly avowed. It may be blameworthy for not having made an opportunity for effectually assert ing them ; it would be open to still graver censure if it now failed to seize the opportunity which events have made for it. If it had sacri ficed office to its views of Irish emboli astical policy, it would have endangered the great reforms of the past generation. Only a severe morality and a doubtful casuistry would condemn them. But the course is now dear. The Fenian*, we are told, do not demand the abolition of the Irish Church Establishment ; and this plea for its maintenance is offered by the very men who tell us that we must not legislate for the satisfaction of Fenian. On the other hand, the loyal and educated Roman Catholic population, on whom every day glowing eulogiuma are paned from both aides of the House, and on whose fidelity the safety of the Empire depends, do demand it. Bishops and clergy, peers and members of Parlia ment, country gentlemen, professional men, mer chants, and manufacturers, have, with absolute unanimity, protested against its longer existence. As Lord Evezzu once said, those who will not regard the maxim Ficii;ustitia, root oxioni, may yet pay heed to its converse : Raid cahoot, fiat justitia. If they will not do justice though the sky should fall, they may do justice when it is only the way to prevent the falling of the sky. THE SALE OF LIQUORS ON SUNDAY BILL. In sending the bill of Mr. Amu. Sacra to a select committee, the House of Commons has adopted a course in harmony with the recommen dations which we offered on Monday. The promo ters and opponenta of the measure will now have an opportunity of bringing forward evidence as to the real feelings of the working classes, and the general inquiry cannot fail to assist in the corning settlement of a difficulty which is press ing for legislative attention, viz., the improvement of our licensing system. Mr. Sacra's Bill in its present shape is an irre sistible temptation to honourable members who seek to thrash a joke out of subject' as they pass. Mr. Locus objects to the curious provision that liquors may be sold to per sons taking a meal at the house of a licensed victualler " during the time of such meal." Never, he says, was anything so tyrannical. A famous surgeon has laid it down as an inflexible rule that • man should never drink daring his meals ; yet here was his honourable friend endeavouring by Act of Parliament to compel everyone who wanted a meal in a public-house at a particular hour to drink as he ate. Mr. Rozsuce's sympathies are all awakened for the unfortunate work ing-man who may have taken his wife and family and his basket of provisions into the country on a Sunday, but have forgotten the bottle containing his pint or quart of beer. The poor fellow would actually have "to go to " the next river and drink water," while " the rich man passing by his club on Sunday " would still be able to go in and read Peach " and take his glass of sherry"—this being appa rently, to Mr. Romance, the acme of prosperous Sabbatical happiness. Mr. liss LEY, with charac teristic shcwdness, wanted to know whether eating biscuits would constitute a meal ; if so, seine tipplers of remarkable powers might drink for a very long time and eat biscuits to make their proceeding legal. Mr. OSBORNE'S experience is, that all members for large districts are dragged to pieces by two socie ties —one, the Licensed Victuallers, the other the United Kingdom Alliance—the former being, according to Mr. Roseuce, the one which members , have the most reason to fear. On the whole, it must appear to the majority of people that the next Parliament is likely to be quite as well qua lified to say where restriction shall stop as the pre sent one. NEVER was a heavy sentence more deservedly passed on criminal than that of yesterday upon Cn•atarrs Wnrornmn. The prisoner, "a re " spectable looking, middle-aged woman," was indicted for maliciously wounding her nephew, • child of eleven. The case against her was established beyond a doubt, and, thanks to the Loan Cum JUSTICE, a sentence of fifteen years' penal servitude is the result. Though since Mrs. Bzwwws.too there has been nothing more revolting than the details of the tortures she has inflicted, we have at least the satisfaction of knowing that this " respectable " middle-aged woman" is to pay the penalty and will not be let loose upon the society she has outraged for many years to come. The prisoner was convicted on the testimony of the suffering child himself, corroborated by her eon, • boy of fourteen, who spoke of his mother throughout as " the prisoner at the bar." The child presented a pitiable spectacle. Sixteen wounds on the head, a " scalp one mass of jelly," a broken nose ; ears, nostrils, and lips ulcerated by burning with hot irons ; both knees injured, and " the joint " through the knee-cap" visible in one ; • back covered with sores and bruises from a poker-- beating and burning ; and fingers broken in several places—making up such a lint of horrors that the marvel is that the poor little fellow lives to tell his tale. Having first produced wounds by burning, the prisoner rubbed them with vinegar to increase the agony ; and, on another occasion, when the child's hands and legs were tied, he was first plunged in a tank of water, and then placed before the fire and burnt on the bands and head. Happily for our common humanity, such monsters of cruelty as this WLSCTIELD are rare ; but this does not exempt us from the duty of making a stern and summary example of them when they come to the surface. All that is told of the tortures of savages ; all that the most fervid imagination could suggest of the malignity of fiends, are realised in this miserable and shameful case. Its sole redeeming feature is its punishment—the only thing about it to remind one, not of civilization or Christianity, but that humanity is not below the level of the brutes. A GOOD deal of latitude must be allowed a °Dural where he conceives. the interests of his country ars at stake, but there is a pretty general agreement to condemn him if be shoulders a rifts, and gratuitously participates in an internal con test. Dating the time of the late Garibaldian in vasion of the Rowse States, letters in our owe Columns and in the VOntinental journals *OM. Hai and remained with them four days, purely from the desire to obtain reliable information. He only used his rifle once, and that was when a Geribal dian sharpshooter was covering him with his weapon. Mr. &maim, in reply, says that his ex planation substantially justifies the complaint. No instructions from his Government required or authorized him to attend the Pontifical army in the field, either sa a belligerent or as a spectator. No interest of the United States could be served by such a proceeding. Had he been prudent he would have avoided the oondition of finding him self unexpectedly under fire, and would have saved I himself from the necessity of considering the question of retreat. In conclusion, the secretary says :—" Your conduct is for these reasons entirely I" disapproved. It will depend in part upon your I " own better conduct hereafter, and in some part " upon circumstances not yet fully understood, 1 " whether the department can be con ' " tent to leave the case with the reprimand." No doubt this " wining " will render the consul more circumspect in future, should GARIBALDI ap pear in the neighbourhood again, and will per suade him to be content with the ordinary sources of information. A thirst for news which takes a consul out four days with an expeditionary force, is likely to be prejudicial in the long ran to his personal interests. the Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, 31Lacn 18.

VISIT OF THE QUEEN TO ALDERSHOT AND INSPECTION OF THE TROOPS.- (THIS DAY.) FROM OUR owes IMPORTER.) ALDERSHOT, THURSDAY. The first appearance of the Queen at Aldershot since the Prince Consort's death aroused the greatest enthusiasm at the camp, and it was expected that a review would take place to-day which would be one of the most brilliant affairs of which Aldershot has been the scene. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Prince Tech, Sir Hope Grant, and several officers of distinction arrived at Farnborough station shortly after 10 o'clock from Waterloo. The troops were on the ground at an early hour, and the interest of the occasion a tt rac t e d all the l eading families of the district, and a large body of other spectators. The Queen arrived at the camp at 20 minutes to 1 o'clock, the sky at that time being overcast and threatening rain. Her Majesty appeared in an open carriage, attended by a numerous and brilliant wort - of staff officers, and she was accom panied by the Princesses Beatrice and Louise. Her Majesty wore a dark grey cloak and block bonnet. The Duke of Cambridge rode by the side of her Majesty's carriage, and an animated cotiver- Nation took place between them. On arriving at the review ground, her Majesty at once rode down the line, the troops presenting arms and the bands playing successively as she passed. In the escort accompanying her Majesty during the inspection were the Prin ces Tack and Christian. The troops were drawn up on the parade around of the north camp line, the artillery and infantry forming the first, and the cavalry the second line, in the rear, the whole line beii i bout three-quarters of a mile to T he ca consisted of the Ist and 4th n G , and die infantry of the 2nd :' t tallon of the Bth, and first battalions of the 54th, 40th, 43rd, 80th, 51st, and 98th, the total force comprising about 196 officers, 4,227 non comzhissioned officers and men, and 30 guns. At a quarter past 1 the troops formed in columns in review order, and marched past her Majesty at the saluting ail in the fo ll owing order :—Royal Horse Artillery (three troops), let Dragoons (four troops), Royal Artillery (two batteries), Royal Engineers (two companies), followed by the regi- manta of the line. The troops were not, however, put through the usual evolutions of a re►iew, there being simply • full-dregs wade. During the inspection and the " marching past," the weather improved. WINDSOR, I'm Tammy. Her Majesty the Queen, the Prince and Princess Christian, and Prinoeas Beatrice left the Castle in semi-stateata quarter to 11 for Aldershot, under an escort of the 2nd Life Guards. The cortege consisted of the Queen's carriage drawn by four greys, and two other carriages, each drawn by four bays, con taining Colonels De Roe, Du Plat, and Gor don, and suites. The route taken was Ma the Long-walk and Windex Park to Bagshot, and so on to the camp. Moen of suite in uniform and many people assembled in the Long-walk.

We only know that he is flimultsneously expected in Paris, Vienna f Con stintinople, and St. Petersburg. The Caurrier Buses of yesterday expresses a hope that the ex pected visit to St. Petersburg may be confirmed, for, it adds, with something like a sneer, "the personal observation of the Prince may serve to rectify the incorrect ideas propagated in' Prance about the intentions and tendencies of Russia." The result of his journey to Berlin is summed up by the Provincial Correspondence of yesterday as follows :—" Prince Napoleon will have carried back with him a clear insight into the firm and permanent bases of the new relations of North Germany." He is as little able to avoid conjecture as the flying knight was able to escape from gloomy care. No sooner did he turn his face towards the south than rumour attributed to him the project of setting up a South German as a counterpoise to the North German Union, of which the King of Prussia is the protector. The official Carlerulte Gazette of yesterday, however, formally denied that there are negotiations on foot for the establishment of a South German Confederation. The projectile force of conjecture on the one hand, relative to Prince Napoleon's tour and the defensive resistance of official and officious denial on the other, reminds us of the long contest between rifled cannon and plated armour.

A letter from Ragusa says : Fresh disturbances have broken out in Albania. The Musulmano of Vuoinge have shacked the Christians of fiukrill ; after casting down their cross, they provoked them to the combat. The struggle was obstinate, and many ware killed or wounded on both sides. The Chris tians, vanquished by reason of their inferior numbers, took refuge at ChM, in the Montenegrin territory ; their village was committed to the games. It appears that they sought to withdraw themselves from the authority of the Mudir and refused to pay taxes ; and that several chiefs of the Mountain put forward the same pretension. The Musulmano seised that circumstance as • pretext for satiating their religious animosities. The Governor Ismail has instituted • severe inquiry and deprived the Nadir of Vusinge, Aly-Bey, of his post. He has also made arrangements to forestall the vengeance sad re prisals of t h e ether Christian tribes. RU6SULN PERSECUTION OF THE POLES. The Wiest of St. Petersburg gives the following picture of the landowners in Lithuania : The Polish nobility is dying out. Five years of st►te of siege and maturely prepared measures, and the patriotic efforts of our reformers, have destroyed, to speak the usual language of general journals, the pernicious illfilloo44l of the Ltin•Polish propaganda, have overthrown /Uhlaehto•Papists, and have restored to Remain the western provinces, her inheritance for ages past. The odious Polish language, which the Corrrier de Wilma de earthed not long bask as the hissing of the ser pent, no longer sullies the government offices or the public places. The mass of the people, who bad for several centuries suffered under the yoke of the Polish nobler, am at length delivered, and returning gradually within the pale of the orthodox church. All the exam 'centers of rotten Polish civilisation are henceforth torn out one by one, and from the history of the western pro vinces has been eff►ced the 400 years of their union with the Polish republic. The time is aprosoli ing in which thews populations will have only I yam traditions of those four centuries. The Rumianising of the country is progressing. Polish pro prietorehip received a detainee Meer by the ukase of the 22nd December, 186.5. The local journals are filled with advertisements of the forced salsa of Polish estates, and the new Russian proprietors are taking possession of the lands. There still remain, it is true, a consider ale number of Polish landowners in the western dig- Mats, bat what will be the fate of their pro perty ? Reduced in extent by the committees instituted for the affairs of the peasantry, diaorganieed by the system of partition, and the servitude to which they are subject, end burdened with heavy taxes, they cannot long remain in Polish hands. A letter from Beret, in Moldavia, to the Lemberg Journal, Gaya : A telegram has just been addressed front Bucharest to the anthorities of several towns in this country orderbig them to send, without delay, all the Poles beyond the frontiers of the Principalities. The commissioners of polies have in consequence summoned to the sub-pre fectures all individuals of that nation residing in the towns, and placed them under anent. At the end of a few hours, however, they were set at liberty, but with an injunction to quit the country within a fortnight, if they did not wish to be expelled by the polies. This muumuu has been applied t• all Poise without distinction ; not only to emigrants, but also to those who bad some to Moldavia with Austrian passports, and resided that. for ten or twelve years. Another letter from Botonchany, to the same jonrnal, two days later, confirms this intelligence in the following terms : The Moldavian authorities at WU limy end in the neighbourhood commeseed their perm:guilds of the Poles the day before mew*, sad the @sm. measures are now announced in several other towns. The Rottman midge* Peiping to fear an insurrection sad an Invasion oriented by Prince Masa, but in realty yielding to the intimations of Russia, have determined to send by degrees all the Poles out of the Principalities.

TRX RIOTS IN NEW YORK.-- The New York Yrthune tithe 6th has the followin2 account of the riot width, as anneaseed by bloom s , t oo ; plies the previous day among the emigrants on Ward' Island, and which, bat f or th e prompt interference of : large body of the police, would have resulted serionaly • " noes mimed in it were the Irish and OerMan strangers residing there. The island is under the cents"! of the emigrant oommisaioners, wher eon th ey a ff ord she!. ter to newly-arrived emigrants, unacquainted in this cont. try, and unable to obtain employment. A fund has i mu , established by taxing shipowner" a per tentage on the passage-money of each of the emigrants. , superin, tendent, end others in his employ, attend to their wants in furnishing them with food and lodgin z Owing to the low prizes of labour, equmi upon the general stagnation of business, the num cons ber of emigrants repairing to the island has increased to elm* 2,000 within the last six months. Of those about two thirds are Irish ; the remainder German. The inherent hatred which has always existed between these cl ay, seems to have fomented a 'mouldering emuity which yesterday found vent in open warfare. Early this stinter a difficulty occurred between a German and an Irial in which the latter received a stab, which, honeys., re : salted in no serious injury. This event further intec„i. fled the feeling of hatred between the Celts and Teutons which was still more increased a few days ago by another difficulty between two of the ringleaders of the rap e , tive parties, in which a number of Irishmen tame to th e rescue of their fellow-countryman, and inflicted seve re punishment upon his opponent. As late as Wednesd,s, an Irishman and a German encountered each other, and the former asked the latter for a drink of water which be canted in a cup. On being refused he attacked the 4:er man, ands saline ensued, during which the Irishman was thoroughly worsted. The result of these skirmishes led to a determination on both sides to teat the physical strew;;;, of their opponents in a free fight. At about ti o'clock ) ia terdey morning the Germans formed a lime to oppoiic at expected attack from the Irish, who bad determined to make short work of the affair. The Irishmen obtained a green veil, which they secured to a pole, and charged upon the Teutonic works, ;when an indiscriminate fight en sued. The Irishmen broke open the tool-house, and, aeiz. ing every available implement, rallied to the basement of the main building, whither the Germans had retreated for protection. They broke open the improvised barricade, and, barring up the entrance to preclude interference, fought with desperate will. The life of one of the eltike was saved by the courage of the late Superintendent Ler. gen'e son, who protected him with a pistol against 11, in. twisted mob. In the warning, Acting Sup . ..hi-Ai: John H. liink endeavoured to maintain order among the emigrants, bat being unable to do so, he sent to the Twelfth Precinct for assistance. This wee responded to by the return of a squad of nine policemen, this being all the forth that Captain Bennett could muster. Despatching these to the island, he telegraphed to headquarters for a force of 100 more. On reaching the island they name. diately charged upon the rioters, where they had collected in the basement, and speedily pacified their warlike in. stints with their uplifted clubs, and scattered them over the island. Detachments from the Seventh, Tenth, Eleventh, Seventeenth, Eighteenth. Nineteenth, Te , ntr. first, Twenty-third and Twenty-ninth Precincts bean to arrive, who, under command of Capts. Bennett, Hutchins, and Jameson, took charge of the island. The rioters were speedily captured and identified, and were placed in eels of the hospital, where sixty are now imprisoned. At half. past 6 o'clock J. McArthur, a detective of considerthic es. perienoe, arrived, and set about ferreting out the icaakr in the movement. One Brennan, known on the island se the " Barracks Lounger," together with Franz Rudolph Hiner, were lodged in the cells on suspicion. At noon Inspector Walling arrived, at which time quiet had boa comparatively restored. The wounded, numbering alma 14, were conveyed to the hospital. Their name., with wounds sustained, are as follows :—Antonius Harman, scalp ; Landry M. Meyer, scalp ; Carl H. sad). bert, compound fracture of the ulna ; Chula Mahler, scalp ; Heinrick Burke, scalp ; Augustus Schell, scalp and contusion ; Frederick Lai; fracture of head ; Ulrich Brobart, scalp ; Pattick Conlon, gunshot wound; Patrick Doyle, gunshot wound; Abram Jennings, gunshot wound on scalp ; Frederick Spiegel, scalp; Matthew Brink, scalp; Franz Ward, sc.lp. Detachments from the 12th and 29th Precincts, nuniberivg 32 men, remained ea the island last night under command of Captain Bennett, to quell any attempt to renew the conflict; the emigrants being intensely excited, and, is spite of their injuries, seem bent uron fighting it out at the first opportunity. About 700 men participated in the riot, and, as a number of the emigrants are missing, it is believed that they are either slain or hiding about the island." On the following day 27 of the ringleaders were brought before Judge Kelly, at the Fifty-seventh-street Court house. Twenty of them were sent to the Penitentiary fot • month each, two of them for three months, a•d the other three were discharged. Sixty-five others of the rioters were sent off the island to find shelter where they could get it. The Earl and Countess of Bradford left toss yesterday for Milton-park, Peterborough, on a visit to the Hon. George and Mrs. Fitzwilliam. Viscount and Viscountess Barrington received at dinner yesterday evening, at their residence in Cavendish. square, the Duchess of Marlborough and Lady Cornelia Churchill, the Earl of Malmesbury, the Earl of Morley, Lord Methuen, Lady Wenlock and Hon. Miss Las Hon. Bdward F. Leveson Gower, M.P., Colonel Taylor, M.P., Mr. Christopher Sykes, M.P., &c. Lady Holmesdale will have assemblies at Coventry House, Piccadilly, on Saturday, the 41st and 28th hut. THE BISHOP OF WINCHESTER.—The report from Farnham yesterday was :—" The Bishop progresses more and more favourably. There is a marked improvement ts his lordship's condition every day. He now inquire' die all the members of his family, is interested in everything, is mock stronger, and more and more himself." Mr Diaaeli has acknowledged, through Mr. Montagu Cony, the receipt of the petition for the repeal of the Party Processions Act, adopted at a meeting in 1;e1• fast, and promised to give it his " attentive consideration." It is stated (says the Times) that a now company for the investment of capital in all the principal dividend. paying foreign securities is about to be brought forwent, so as to enable persons to employ money in this manner without incurring the entire risk incidental to soy out particular stook. The directors of the North British Railway Company have ascertained that there is a surplus in their accounts for the half.year ending the 31st Janaarl sak. dent to admit of a dividend on all their preference stab, and of 4g per cent. on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Fire per Cent. Prete:ems Stock No 3; but, in present circuit• stances, they announce that it will be necessary to with , division of profits by deferred warrants. Tac " MAIIULAID " CLASll.—This morning W.S published the draft et an agreement mitered into between the British and Spanish governments to refer the long• pending "Mermaid" claim to the decision of a mired commission.

The commission was, or is, to be c"' posed of four persons, two to be named by each genre' meat, and the commissioners themselves name an arhitn• ter, at umpire, in case of any disputed point arising be• tween them. Should the decision be in favour of the alainsents, the sum demanded is to be paid within 90 dart after the dais of such decision. The agreement was signed at Madrid on the 4th March.

I cannot precisely say that the single franc which I have just paid for the Emperor's new pamphlet is • bad investment, because it contains in a com pendious form a number of documents which, how ever well known, it may sometimes be useful to refer to. But there never was a greater deception practised upon the public than to represent before hand with much ado that the work about to issue from the imperial press was important. There is really " nothing in it." The few introductory and concluding lines which constitute the slight framework of a compilation consisting of various official papers, showing the rise and progress of the Bonaparte family from the 18th Brumaire to the present time, contains not a word of the slightest interest so far as regards contemporary politics. It is difficult indeed to imagine the motive for such an inane and childish publication. The common place quotation, " Vox populi vox Dei," is the motto of the volume for the purpose of inferring that the successive plebiacitums which have confirmed various dictatorial acts of Napoleon I. and Napoleon 111. dearly show the voice of God declaring that France belongs to the Bonapartes. Hitherto we have been accustomed to hear that Napoleon 111. was the elect of eight millions of suffrages. The only new idea of the pamphlet is adding up the " tottle of the whole" of the polls commanded by the Napoleons at dif ferent periods, and then saying that the title of the dynasty rests upon " thirty millions of votes." Why the Empire feels it necessary at the present time to insist, contrary to what thinking people will ever admit, that • plebiscituto is an unanswerable argu ment and the sole basis and principle of good go vernment does not at all appear. Why should a dynasty which reigns undisputed think it neces sary just now to provoke doubts (I do not say dis cussion, because discussion is not permitted) as to the origin of its power 1 I cannot but wonder that it did not think of a proverb more intelligible to the generality of Frenchmen, and more to the purpose than the Latin one in the title page, Qui s'excese s'accuse. The Prance says : The most contra:notary rumours continue to armlet* about Prince Napoleon. Some despatches announce that instead of returning to Paris he is going to St. Petersburg. This news is circulated with the evident intention of fur nishing • pretext for all sorb of political comments. The truth is that the Prince has no settled plea, and travels shoat entirelyunder &Walpole, of his ferny. Thiele soiree that slier his:visit to Botha the Prince himself telegraphed that he was coming beet to Paris directly, and the railway company made preperstoea to receive him. But he sud denly changed We mind, and weut, as we )mow, to Dresden and Leipsic. It will probably not be the general opinion that Prince Napoleon is such an unoommiasioned atom flitting about in space as the Prance represents. There is such an extraordinary mortality among geese in France that M. Forced° de la Roquette, the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, has addressed a circular to the prefects on the subject. The Bonne opened with some heaviness, but ultimately the upward movement continued. Rents rose sc. for cash and 10c. for account, closing at 69fr. 30c. and 69fr. 35c. Italian roes 75c., Mobi lier 10fr., and Credit Foncier, sfr. The money article of the conservative France says : It is impossible to believe that the rime of the last few days is the result of purchases made by the public, and that the market is not moved by some abnormal impul sion. We cannot but look with distrust upon a movement with which the mass of spoonlater, have as little to do se the investing public. The rise is too peat and too rapid to be solid.
