Truss was an interesting debate last week in the Corps Ligislatif on a Bill introduoed by the Government for reducing the term of resi dence for the naturalization of foreigners from ten years to three. In Algeria, where French settlers are scarce, and the energy and enterprise of colonists are wanting to develop the natural resources of the country, the term of residence required for naturalization does not ex ceed three years, and the Bill which has just been carried through the Corps argis latif extends to foreigners residing in the mother country the privilege accorded to foreign settlers in the colony. In Algeria the facility of natura lization has not yet been found to outweigh the reluctance of the most desirable class of settlers to establish themselves in a country ruled by the sword, where civilians are looked upon as a lower order, and the military admi nistration regulates and restrains every man's affairs with an incessant solicitude and surveil. lance. Neither the great colonizers of the world, the Anglo-Saxons, who are accustomed from their birth to a free use of all their faculties, nor the Germans, who, with the same disposition, thwarted and irritated by vexatious governments at home, fly across the ocean to found a new Ger many free from the incumbrances of the old, are prepossessed in favour of a colony drilled and organized by French prefects and generals in the spirit of a barrack or a camp, as a school of discipline and training for Zouaves and Chasseurs. The advantage of being less than four days' distance from Paris, and within a few minutes' hail by telegraph of the Tuileries, is ill appreciated by settlers who are not of the Latin race, and the Latin race are not easily persuaded to settle beyond the city of Algiers, which they have converted into something between a Paris and a Nice. Will the extension to the mother-country of the opportunities of naturalization which have done so little for the colonization of Algeria be found more tempting to the half a mil lion of strangers who from one cause or other, from motives of convenience, business, pleasure or necessity, have resided three years or more within the borders of Imperial France f There can be no doubt of the largely liberal and humane spirit of the French legislation on this subject. It dates from the Revolution of 1789, and each succeeding revolution has ac cepted it as part of the legacy of those foremost liberators and legislators of the human race, who in their enthusiasm overthrew all the barriers of race and creed and rank, and all the tyrannies of prejudice and privilege. Whenever liberty has emerged from its periodical eclipses in France, the generous eagerness of its legislators to admit sympathizing foreigners to the rights of citizen ship has been always conspicuously manifest. In those dark periods which have so often sue ceeded to the summer-lightning flashes of liberty, the cowardice of reactionists has brought back that protective and restrictive policy which in its more perfect form, and in countries called barbarous, treats foreigners as interlopers if not as enemies, and as sojourners on sufferance if not as prisoners on parole. The Revolution of 'B9, in its better and happier days, held out the hand of wel come to all men of every race and language who desired to become French citizens. Naroxzow conferred French citizenship by right of conquest, and instead of naturalizing the stranger incarcerated him until his country had be come a part of the Empire. Nor was the restored monarchy disposed to return to the cosmopolitan ideas of the Republic. Perhaps the very circumstances of its restoration made it jealous of adopting foreign residents. Under the consti tutional 31ouarchy of July, the protective and exclusive spirit against foreigners prevailed in all its bitterness, and the unnatural alliance of the old Bonapartists with the Republicans inflamed all the national antipathies. It was reserved for the mild and generous Provisional Government of the Republic of 1848 to reaffirm the princi ples of their revolutionary forefathers, and within a year to admit more than fifteen hundred foreigners to all the rights and liberties of French citizens. The reactionary party who destroyed the Republic, but initiated not a single wise or liberal measure of their own, with con sistent narrowness of mind relapsed to the legis lation of 1814, and instead of the five years probationary term which the Provisional Govern ment had decreed, insisted on ten years' residence as a condition of naturalization, and succeeded in reducing the number of annual applications for the privilege from fifteen hundred to thirty. The present EMPEROR, who has so often shown himself more liberal than the parliamentary majority he deposed in '5l, and than his devoted adherents in his own Chambers, now goes beyond even the Republicans of '4B, and reduces the probationary term of residence from ten years to three for foreigners who may be desirous of becoming French subjects. In justice to the Imperial Government, it must be owned that this Naturalization Bill is perfectly in harmony with all its Acts of legislation which have no reference to political liberty. No French government has ever so well understood and practised those principles of economic and commercial liberty which affect so widely and so deeply the international relations of a State, and their influ ence upon surrounding civilization ; none has so well understood the demands and tendencies of its epoch as the government of NAPOLEON 111. The principle of the Bill was cordially accepted by the whole Corps L4gialatif ; and it is impor tant to observe that the amendment proposed by the Liberal Opposition was not directed against the liberality of the measure, but against the arbitrary exercise of the personal prerogative of the executive power in granting or with holding letters of naturalization. It was con tended by the authors of the amendment that the right to grant letters of naturalization should at least belong to the co-ordinate estates of the Empire—to the executive and legislative powers. The Liberal Opposition would be willing to allow all foreigners to be naturalized after the reduced term of three years, on a simple certificate of good conduct from the local authorities of the department or town in which they have resided. So far, then, as foreigners are concerned, M. PICARD and his colleagues not only concur in all that is most liberal in the Bill, but would even enlarge the facilities it provides. Their objection was founded on considerations of domestic policy which every Englishman will appreciate. It is to be regretted that a bill which in its main objects does so much honour to the French Government should be vitiated by an usurpa tion of the essential right of the legislature. But for this defect the French law of naturaliza tion is now the moat liberal in Europe ; more liberal than that of England since it admits at once without reserve to all the rights of a native born citizen ; a law singularly well timed, and worthy of the genius and spirit of the French people. DURING last winter we were told again and again that the Fenian', besides being socialist levellers, were atheists, men neither fearing GOD nor regarding man. Others said that the charge simply meant that they were not readily amenable to the Roman Catholic priesthood. Certainly their demeanour in the dock has not been that of atheists, and the addresses they deliver, under circumstances so solemn as to remove every temptation to semi theatrical display, have at times a religious tone which, to say the least, is very impressive. No men ever appeared at the bar of a human tribunal less concerned for their personal safety, or more anxious to place their cause under the sanction of Heaven. One after the other they appeal to Almighty justice against us, and refer themselves to the Divine compassion. It is unnecessary to say that this demeanour neither makes their acts better nor worse, but it refutes the notions which have been sedulously diE.ased as to their personal character : for no one, we believe, who has read the speeches of these men believes that their lan guage was a mere disguise. EDMUND KELLY, when asked why sentence of death should not be passed upon him, said : As near aa I can answer the question I shall may that, remembering that every generation since England ob tained a footing in Ireland have been sufferers from her rule—remembering that every generation have risen to pro test against the occupation of our native soil by England— surely I may say that is an answer to the question why sentence should not be passed on me. In the part I have taken in the Ista insurrection I was only conscientiously discharging my duty. Next to serving the Creator, I believe it is man's solemn duty to serve his country." Words like these remind us how strictly utili tarian are the grounds on which we claim the right to punish these men. A generous English- Mllll is almost afraid to place himself by imagina tion, even for a moment, in the point of view of KILL; lest he should be betrayed into sympathy with wholly indefensible acts. KZLLY concluded his address by repeating the spirited protestation of the Jewish captive in Assyria, declaring his unalter able attachment to his country, and calling down imprecations on its oppressors : Remember, 0 Lord, the children of Edon—ln the day of Jen). Yield ; Who Yid—Rue It rue It, even to the foundations thereof . 0 daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed ; Happy shall be be that rewardeth thee ea thou bad served na. Which may mean, we suppose, that Lord Chief Justice Wirrrzeum may live to be tried for high treason by a judge of the Irish-American Republic. Ten Government may think itself well rid of that troublesome gentleman the Compound House holder, but Ministerial journalists have even better reason to rejoice over his disappearance. From first to last he has caused them nothing but trouble. It was impossible to know how he ought to be treated in public. One day he was saluted with warmth ; the next he was decidedly " cut." Just as he had been declared to be a moat respectable person, not only tolerable but indispensable, it was found that the Govern ment had resolved to execute him ; then, when it was thought prudent to rejoice over his ex tinction, he was suddenly discovered in his old place, apparently in all the insolent vigour of health. Last night Mr. DISRAELI extinguished him, but it was only yesterday morn ing that the Standard established his right to live in peace and honour. The good reasons for pass ing the Compounding Acts still exist, it was said, and with increased force, and Mr. Disitazas propo aitions were necessary to make Mr. HODOCINSON'S amendment practicable. Well, we hope we have at length got to the end of all this. Mr. pis- Lama has withdrawn that portion of his amendment which was objectionable to the Liberal Opposition. In fact—so he explains--he only introduced them in deference to the opinions of Mr. CHILDERS and Mr. GLADSTONE. So the Standard has been battling, without knowing it, against Mr. DISRAELI., for the views of two mem bers of the late Government. It is stated that Mr. Jefferson Darin may be expected to arrive is this imantry is the month of June.

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1867. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) PROGRESS WITH TRZ lIIMORM BILL. Reviewing the progress which was made last night, the Times remarks that nothing could be happier than the administration of the last offices to the compound householder, and the settlement of the occupation fran chise in counties was equally satisfactory. The decision arrived at, constituting the occupation of land, with or without a house, a sufficient qualification, though supported by the smallest majority, seems preferable to enforcing the necessity of a house ►lso ; and the adop tion of a 12/. rating franchise was a compromise fairly en titled to be accepted when offered by the government. The so-called fancy franchises are now all that intervene before the section of the bill dealing with the redistribution of the seats. Fortunately, the fancy franchises involve no question of party, and they will come as an agreeable in terlude before the next serious division. If the house con tinues to display the aptitude for business it exhibited last night, the interlude will be only too short, and before the week is over we shall be immersed in the statistics and the conflicts of redistribution. Explaining the game of cross purposes in which the fate of the compound householder ham been involved, the Daily Newt says there is no ground for charging Mr. Disraeli with breach of faith. It was a mistake on both aides, both fancying that their opponents would not consent to part with the compound householder altogether. The fact seems to be that whatever is supposed to be the pol , cy of the house becomes henceforth the policy of the govern. ment. They have proposed from time to time, not wh►t they thought right, but what they thought parliament would accept. However, the principle of household suf frage is established ; and its more convenient adjustment, should that be found necessary, is a matter of detail which will not excite strong party or political feeling. The victory of the government in persuading the com mittee not to require residence as well as occupation in the counties was in reality a triumph of the principle of faggot voting ; but it was impossible to make the point a battle ground of party after the conversion of it by Lord Rus sell's government last session. In spite of all faults of de tail, the main object of reformers has been attained. The Post is free to confess that by degrees we have been brought to a stage when there is but very little more concession required to make the bill sufficiently complete to be well worthy of acceptance, and the tone of Mr. Disraeli's speech encourages the hope that all necessary concessions will not be withheld, and that the question will after all be resolved in the present session. The Standard has again altered its opinion as to the com pound householders, and the government having now ac cepted Mr. Hodgkinson's amendment in spirit and in de tail, is prepared to show that that course was the proper One. The success of "the champions of manufactured titles" to the county franchise, the Tekgraph thinks, is certain to be ahortlived, and a reform parliament may be relied upon fora revers►l. With the result of last night's proceftuags the liberal party cannot be dissatisfied, since not only has the county franchise been reduced to 12/., but house. bold suffrage has virtually bees secured in parliamentary boroughs. The Star dwells on the indignities which it conceives Mr. Disraeli has undergone by his repeated concessions, and attributes to the liberal party all the valuable por tions of the bill. Our contemporaries this morning express unanimous approval of the exercise of the royal prerogative of mercy on behalf of the condemned Fenian Bu-ke. The eiQi..ed world, the Times mays, is generally abolishing the punish- ment of death for political crimes ; and the reasons for this change are nowhere so strong as in this country, for our history is a series of political revolutions, and we have ever held nationalities to be under our special patronage. The English people, with all their love of order and respect for property, with all their constitutional and traditionary sentiment, with all their knowledge and wisdom, still cherish in their heart of hearts the right of rebellion under possible circumstances. How, then, can we utterly deny . _ _ it to Ireland, so much weaker, and with so little to attach her to the existing order of things ? Over all the tumults, the trials, and the controversies of the hour, there emerges and still cries to Heaven the great tact of Irish wretched ness, and of that madness which wretchedness ever en genders. These men have committed a crime ; but penal servitude, to which they are condemnod, is about the lowest, the most degraded, and the most miserable con dition to which society can reduce its erring members. Mr. Disraeli said last night that Burke would no► be hanged because public opinion is so divided upon the sub ject of his execution ; the Daily News says it would have been more correct to say that the unanimity of public opinion has saved his life. The Herald looks forw►rd to a time when the supremacy of the law having been freely vindicated, • general amnesty may be proclaimed. The Telegraph advises Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli to take counsel ► little oftener of public opinion. Among other sound lessons, public opinion might possibly tell them how to make Ireland a contented part of her Ma jesty's dominions, by following up • rebuke of Orange bloodthirstiness with these just laws respecting the land and the churches which the unhappy island wants far more than gibbets or dragoons. The Star frusta that Irishmen in Ireland and America will take the late events as conclusive evidence both of their weakness and their strength. When they rush to arm, they are as sheep before the wolves. With a spy in every secret meeting, hedged about by treachery, and with not the slightest chance of perfecting an organisation which can stand even • charge of police bayonets, they and their cause must go down with an ease which only exposes the actors to ridicule. But when they turn from conspiracy to the field of political action they will find the people of the United Kingdom not only anxious but deter mined to do them justice. The Chancellor of the Exchequer acknowledges the receipt of the first halves of bank notes for 3501. from P. T., on account of income tax. On the Navy Estimates Mr. H. Bernie will move for a select committee to consider the present state and condition of the Ordnance Department. - _ MEWING'S IN ROYAL PARICB.—The following is a copy of a bill intituled, " An act for the better and more effectually securing the use of certain royal parks and gardens for the enjoyment and recreation of her Majesty's subjects," introduced into the House of Lords by Lewd Redesdale. " Whereas it is expedient to provide fed the better and more effectually securing the use of certain roy►l parka and gardens for the enjoyment and recreation of her Majesty's subjects. Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the ad vice and consent of the lords spiritual and temporal, and commons, in this present parliament assembled, and by authority of the same, as follows :—l. This act shall apply to all the royal parks, gardens, and possessions the management of which is vested in the Commissioners of her Majesty's Works and Public Buildings, and which an situate within the limits of the metropolis. 2. The metro- polis shall mean the area for the time being subject to the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Board of Works. 3. The parks, gardens, and possessions to which this act applies shall not on any occasion be used, without the permission of her Majesty, for the purposes of political or any other meetings, nor for open-air preaching, nor for the celebration of the anniversaries or ether re-unions of clubs or benefit societies. 4. Any person convening or aiding or assisting in convening any meeting to be held in contravention of this act, and any person knowingly join ing or taking part in any such meeting contrary to the provisions of this act, on being convicted before any magistrate sitting in any police court within the matro ns, shall, on such conviction, either be liable to a penalty not exceeding St, or, in the discretion of the magistrate, may be imprisoned for any term not exceeding one calen. dar month. 5. Nothing in this set contained shall be deemed to prejudice or affect any prerogative or other right of her Majesty, her heirs or successors, in respect of the said parks, gardens, and possessions. 6. This sot may be cited for all purposes as " The Meetings in Royal Parks Act, 1867." The Rev. Lord Sidney Godolphin Osborne preached in the parish church of St. James, in Poole, in Dorsetshire, on Sunday last, to a crowded congregation.

" Bishopthorpe, York, May 15. " Gentlemen,—l have to thank you sincerely for the memorial you have done me the favour to address to me, and for the manner you speak of me therein. My own opinions upon the practices to which you refer are well known, and I am happy to think that ther are in con formity with the resolutions respecting them which have been adopted by the two Convocations of Canterbury and York. Lade disposed to religious controversy from knowing the bitterness it engenders, I am not likely to take any very active part in it, but I shall not be deterred. I trust, by attacks of remarkable acrimony from doing what little I can to preserve and hand down the doctrines and worship of our reformed church, pure as when we received it, to those that shall come after. Your promise of support shows that laymen are beginning to supply that interest in the question which has been somewhat lacking hitherto. The danger is great, if It is diminishing, and it is well that all classes should awake to it, for it concerns the interests of aIL I pray that your hearts and minds may be pre served by the spirit of truth, and peace, and love ; and with grateful thanks for the expression of your goodwill I will ask that you offer the same prayer for me in this time of the church a trouble. I have the honour to be, gentle. men, your very faithful servant, " W. E 1104" THE Thoczaz or ROCHIBI7II.—The consecration of the Bishop-Elect of Rochester (she Rev.

(FlOll 001 OWN COI PARIS, MosDAT Emma There was an important meeting of the commit. tee on the Army Bill to-day. The committee and the government have yet serious points of difference about the organisation of the Mobile National Guard, the time for which it shall be called out, and the place, more or less removed from the resi• deuce of the men, in which corps shall be embodied. The difference comes to this, that the committee would have the National Guard only a militia, whereas the government wants to make it a second reserve. I have still no confidence in the resist ance of the committee. The Patrie denies that any change has been made in the arrangements for a French military mission to the Danubian Principalities. There is only A delay in sending out the mission consequent upon a " budgetary formality." If this be so the Prue and the "various other journals" whose news the Patrie takes upon itself to contradict have expended a great deal of useless indignation against Prince Charles of Hohenzollern and his Prussian patron'. It is a pity the Patrie does not go on to explain what are the differences between the Bucharest ministry and its representative at this court, N. Balatchano,which have led to the resignation tithe latter.

Hewes but just able to speak, gave his name as Casten. said his carriage belonged to the Batignollesste• tion, and begged to be taken to his brother's, itt* &immure. There he expired, without being Ale to give any further account of himself. An ex amination of his body left no doubt that he hid been murdered. He had several serious wounds, some of which were infliete, by a bloat and others by a sharp instrument. Thu probability is that, while returning home, he was a oassiusita for the sake of the money which he might Is presumed to have received in thu course of the day. No trace of the authors of the crime h.ivs yet been found. Castan was a man of excellent character. The Bourse was extremely calm, with scaro.ll any change in quotations.
