The consternation freely expressed everywhere may be partly at tributed to disappointment at the new Act not having at onoe disposed of the Homeless Poor ; but there is more in the matter than that sort of mortification. It is not only about the Homeless Poor that the comfortable classes are aghast. The host of charitable inatitutions--each with ita empty - - • • • money-box and ita dreary tale of overwhelming applications for relief—seem to disclaim a bottomless gulf of misery and helplessness, into which the tens of thousands of pounds of our rich almsgivers are cast in vain. " How can it "be " everybody is asking. " What are we to " do, and what are we to expect if, after all we " have done, the evil grows upon us, apparently " without cause, from meson to season? What " can it moan " The common reply is that it is no time to speculate—that the duty of the moment is to save the perishing—and that the worst thing we can do is to allow any good work to fail for want of funds. No doubt, when there are hungry people in tile streets, and the snow is on the ground, these people must be fed and warmed ; but we are disposed to think that the beet chance of saving the next generation—we could almost say the next season—from an augmented burden of such misery is to encourage, rather than dis countenance, the inquiry how such a state of things can exist among us at this date. Moreover, • due regard to our own security, and to that of society after we are gone, requires that we should inves tigate the causes of an apparently boundless pauperism—a helplessness and dependence et which we may well dread the increase. If the plain truth were known, there are not a few pee sons who are beginning to see through feeling—to perceive through their experience—the tendencies of such a state of things as they suppose to exist. Some who have laughed at Communism as at • bugbear too s'ly to frighten anybody, and others who have been really alarmed about Socialism as existing among the vulgar, are beginning to ask, in their secret minds, whether the present state of things is not in fac • long stride in the direction of Communism I As soon as a citizen has ac- 1 quired any property he becomes OA source of maintenance of more or fewer helpless persons ; and he has very little choice about the when, where, and how. Rich men have their hand almost continuously in their pocket. When greet men became owners, instead of mere holders of land, they continued the practice which had always been the condition of their landholding that of securing the mainte nance of all the residents on their estates. They always knew what they would have to do ; the limit of their responsibility was plain ; and it was not almsgiving, generally speaking, that was required of them. The well-to-do classes in Lon don are in a very different position. The mere almsgiving is becoming to them equivalent to • forfeiture of a considerable part of their incline, which is given away by persons whom they do not know, to persons about whom they do not care, except in as far as they are in misery at the moment. If this kind of liability grows much more, there will be a communism in England, after all, more dangerous and hateful than the schemes of ROBERT OWEN, or any other preacher of sub versive doctrines. Such is the apprehension which is harboured in many minds this winter, as for some winters past. Two years since we consoled ourselves by saying (what was true to a osrtain extent) that the national charity to Lancashire had diminished the ►l.ns fund in London and elsewhere ; but now, this year, there has been no such call from Lan cashire as has lessened the bounty of London. It is not lack of bounty that is accountable for the destitution in London. What, then, is it? Is there really a great increase of misery among ua, at a time when work is plentiful in the kingdom generally, and wages are good, and bread is cheap ? And how can there be so much hardship as there is ? There are many things to be taken into the account in seeking an answer to this question ; and on the whole, the impression they yield is en couraging in regard to the country at large, if not in regard, just at present, to London. Formerly a resort to London was never dreamed of but by traders and pleasure•seekers, or persons on express Galls of business. In our time the railways bring up a host of feckless adventurers or fortune•seeker', who, failing to prosper, become applicants for charity. Their own neighbourhoods are so much the better, and London is so much the worse, by 111611 this new prooedure. As *alibi', and wages rise ftuihee minsitry,this nuisance will rather decline grow. 1 push AM, is one constant source of poverty in a*ng oiuntry about which we cannot decide whether it will grow or decline in the future. There is always a generation in each branch of in dustry which has to be maintained by charity, when old methods are superseded by new. The Norwich handloom weavers to-day, se the Glasgow and Manchester and other headier= weavers of many years past, are an eiample ; and in London the poor needlewomen, hungry enough before, are now starved out by the sewing-machine. Their lot was terrible, and their doom clear, before the sewing-machine turned them absolutely adrift ; but its introduction has suddenly thrown a large body of helpless women on the charity of the great town. This is undoubtedly a temporary evil, as far as the particular class is concerned, but it is impassible to say how long the suocessive improve ments in our industrial methods will go on, each displacing a generation or a part of a generation of workers. They should be willingly and gra ciously helped under an accident which is a cala mity to them, however fortunate an event it may be to the rest of society. A more serious question is, whether we may look for a reduction of misery from the improve. ment, moral and intellectual, of the sinning and suffering classes who constitute most of our pauperism. le Mr. BialNo right in saying, as he did at Penryn the other day, that drunkenness is on the decline among us t There is always a vicious population afloat in all large assemblages of men—is this element growing or diminishing in London t And the idle and shiftless, the wild and sunk—are they more or fewer than ten or twenty or fifty years ago t It may be difficult to find the answer to this ; but we must remember that the i:oe and misery formerly concealed in the dens of the desperate and the reteesta of the lost are now laid open to the day by the improve ments in our law and police. We may well be aghast at much that we see ; but, if it is not new, we ought to be rather en couraged than alarmed.. If we consider how much of the supply of juvenile criminals has been out off by the Reformatory and Ragged School System, and by kindred institutions, we may rationally hope that the benefit will appear in the next gene ration. It is noticeable, too, that much of the almsgiving which looks so formidable is on behalf of these preventive charities. This brings in the consideration of the wider .cope and increased energy of charity in our day. Formerly, the vicious, the ignorant, the early cor rupted, the diseased, the deformed and infirm, the young thief, and the blind, the fallen woman, and the deaf-and-dumb child lived or died as they could or must, unknown to the comfortable classes, unless by some accident of acquaintanceship. It is for otherwise now, when misery is sought out, and sin is brought to light by both justice and mercy, and whendistrict visiting castes light into a multitude of dark corners. Whether such a change tends to the augmentation or reduction of misery of all kinds, each man may judge for himself. Some will say, and reasonably, that much will depend on bow this new justioe and mercy is regu lated. The natural tendency, during such a change, is to invite sufferers to dependence, to make them welcome to charity, and thus to create more dependence, and • greater need of charity. This is the next worst thing to leaving sinners and sufferers uncared for. It is a mistake unpardon able in England after our experience of the old Poor Law and the squires' and saint•' charities of half • century ago, which created generations of paupers, the dregs of which are • nuisance of our day. Yet this is the mistake which we are always liable to fall into. We see it now in the longing to make the workhouse a comfortable residence, and more attractive to the poor. We see it more or less in almost every charitable institution— always excepting hospitals, the moat unexception able of charities. Here lies the greatest danger of all, and the gravest doubt. If we can steadily bear in mind that almsgiving, under all forms, is only a pis-aller, a mere gaining of time to do some thing better—something towards raising men shove the need and desire of charity ; and if we can ab stain from creating more misery than we are re lieving, we may hope that the next generation, if not the present, may see the destitution of London brought within manageable bounds. gibe Court. °Barnum JAL 4. • The Queen, accompanied by Prince Arthur and Prince Leopold. walked is the pounds yesterday swesiag. and dross in the afternooa with Princess Helena.

PRINCE NAPOLEON AND THE GOVERNMENT. The Di&as of to-day says :—" It is impossible , not to attach a very serious meaning to the decree of the 24th of December, which appoints Prince Napoleon vice-president of the Privy Council. It is, perhaps, a reply to the Encyclical, and a rather prompt one, since the decree is dated the day after that on which the text of the pontifical document became known in Paris. But we hope that it is even something more. If we may conclude, indeed, in accordance with public rumour, that the imperial government has been for some time divided be tween two contrary influences, that which is pressing it forward, and that which would keep it stationary, or lead it to retrace its steps ; and if we consider the attitude taken by Prince Napoleon, whether in the Senate or in the different assemblies in which he has had occasion to manifest his opinion on public affairs, the decree of the 24th of Decem ber may be regarded as a pledge given to the party of progress and of civil and religious liberty. The real, though latent and indeterminate, influenee which Prince Napoleon has hitherto been enabled to exercise over the government is converted by this decree into,a legally-defined influence. Prince Napo leon—his opinions afford a guarantee for this—will use the title conferred upon him to beaten, and not to retard, liberal institutions. Is there not, more over, already a commentary to this effect upon the decree of the 24th of December in some of the words which the Emperor has addressed to the Senate, and which we extracted yesterday from the Moniteur 1 The Emperor gave it to be understood that the present year would realise legitimate hopes,' ami would destroy certain apprehensions,' which are not well founded. What apprehensions are here referred to, if not that of seeing the go vernment reconsider the decree of the 24th of Deoem ber—an apprehension which was expressed in some journals, and which we have never allowed ourselves to share I And what hope could be more legitimate than that of seeing the decree of the 24th of De cember completed by other analogous measures 1" AUSTRIA AND THE DUCHIES. If annierionist pretensions are put forward by the Cologne Gazette, opposition to such a course is not lees energetically manifested in the Get-Deutsche Post of Vienna. On the day when the Rhenish journal affirmed that no Prussian minister would consent to the formation of • new petty German state on the banks of the Elbe, the Austrian organ announced that Baron de Halbhuber was named commissioner for that power in the Duchies, with the minion to protect their autonomy against the attempts at " Pructilication," to reinetal the native functionaries in their employ ments, to preserve the ducal administration of the post-office, telegraphs, etc. The Austria's Gazette, on its side, rejects with indignation the insinuations of the Prussian journals on the subject of pretended differences of opinion between M. de Schmerling ' and Count de Menstiorff Whoever is eswealate4 with M. de fishmarling (mys that journal) will avow that he is not treaties in patriotism. Count de Meeederfi is a most' and sa Mutate soldier who will never allow the ietereets of his country or her position in Germany to be cosepsessiewl. No necessity, therefore, Wets for receiving official inspirations to declare that no &Miriam of opinion exists between those two damn.. The same journal adds that since the retirement of Count de Rechberg, Berlin must have perceived that a stronger hand and a firmer will milted at Vienna. It is certain that public opinion in Austria does not support the idea of a pure and simple annexation of the Duchies by Prussia, and that the cabinet will on that question naturally follow the path which is traced out for it by the interests of Austria, as well as by those so seriously alarmed of the secondmi states.

I y EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (7110* OU'l OWN PARIS. WIDNISDAT Evonza. The Privy Council, hitherto a rather obeccro and ill-defined body, but now likely to make more noise, held a meeting to-day which lasted from 10 to 12 o'clock. The Emperor presided. Prince Napoleon took his seat for the fiat time. Count Walewski, the Duke de Persigny, and M. Magna were present. The Privy Council is now composed as follows : —Prince Napoleon, Vice-President ; M. Troploog, President of the Senate ; Duke de Mom, Presi dent of the Legislative Body ; M. Fould, Minister of Finance ; 11. Itaroche, Minister of Justice ; Marshal Vaillant, Minister of the Emperor's Household and of the Beaux-Arta ; Duke de Per aigny, Count Walewai, and M. Magna, Senators. Cardinal Morlot and Marshal the Duke de Mala koff, deceased, have not been replaced. M. Emile de Girardin, who is a personal friend of Prince Napoleon, expresses an opinion in the Prrue that Prince Napoleon's liberal opinions are not likely at present to have any great weight in state affairs. He thinks that liberty has no more , enlightened or courageous champion than the prince ; but that rooted prejudices are too strong for his personal influence to prevail against them. It is something, however, to find that if a better time should come this liberal prince will be in an advantageous position to forward the good work. The Union► has received a communique for having said that M. Baroohe's circular to the bishops was " unprecedented ;" and Mgr. Feutrier's letter in 1829, already brought forward by the Constitution nel, is cited as proof to the contrary. The answer of the clerical journals is that the publication of the Encyclical of that date was prohibited alto gether, whereas that of Pius IL has been the theme of ribald comment in the press for the last fortnight, and the bishops alone have their mouths closed in regard to it. The Archbishop of Avignon had the ill-luck to get his toes frozen in a train detained by the snow near Tonlouie. _ M. Samson, the veteran actor, has been com pelled by indisposition to suspend his Friday's readings in the Rue de is Pair. Cardinal d'Andrea, in answer to M. Erdal), the Naples oorrespondent of the Temps, who described him not only as a rebel to Rome, but as a wealthy man, possessing 180,000 fr., writes to the ',Wipes'. dente of Naples to say that he is so poor as not to be able to buy some books which he very much wants.
