I am really disposed to think that the Emperor is about to "crown the edifice "—that is to say, that he means speedily to endow France with that " wise measure" of liberty which he said ten years ago she was to have some day. I was struck yester day by the Opinion Nationok's opinion that the Emperor was tired of " personal " government ; and I now notice a very remarkable and evidently Guerronniere-inspired article, in the Patric, headed " The Constitutional Empire." Curiously enough this article, of which I prophecy that you will hear a great deal, is but au amplification of the criti cism, " The fundamental principle of the Constitu tion of 1852 is the Emperor," for which the Debate received a warning, and for my comments upon wL•ich the Daily News has been seized to-day by the small fry of officials who are blind to the signs of the times. This article begins as follows : The Constitutional Empire exists in point of right coder the Constitution of 1852. But its liberal character has been so long veiled that its mecum at home and abroad have an excuse for denouocing it se a dictatorship. Itmust, however, be admitted that previously to the decree of Nov. 24th, 1860, the participation of the public amembhee in public affairs wee more theoretical them real. Here we have a semi-official admission of an un doubted truth, which could not have been uttered any tine this ten years without drawing down upon the utterer warnings, prosecutions, or worse. Sooree of times official speakers iu the Chamber, and hack writers in the press, protested before the 24th of November that the representative body was not a sham but a moat useful reality. The writer proceeds to draw a striking picture of the helplessness and insignificance of the Senate and Corps Legialatif before November 24, and, quite forgetting M. de Persiguy's warning to the Debala, admits that " all the organic forces of the government seemed to be absorbed in the omnipo tence of the sovereign concentrating iu himself the entire life of the people." lie goes on, in a fulsome strain, to deecribe the Emperor as returning to Paris after Solferino " more than au absolute chief," as " a supreme arbitrator," " the im ag e of command consecrated by glory, tempered by modera- 1 tion, and accepted by public gratitude." Au ordi- ' nary man would have been intoxicated by this popularity, but the Emperor's "superior mind" became uneasy lest his personal prestige should efface the institutions which he had intended to found, and he felt it necessary that "people should believe as much in the Empire as in the Emperor." This is precisely the sentiment which, in the mouth of M. Saint Mare Girardin, was deemed factious on Christmas-day. The Court writer continues : " The memorable decree of Nov. 24 was tbe comae quence of that idea ; this great reform did not create nor change the Cuostitution ; it merely revived it." A very curious revival this, since we were told • moment ago that until Nov. 24 the Constitution was more "theoretic than real." This nonsense about the resuscitation of a thing which never had life is the mere canting echo of M. Troplong's scruples about "fundamental changes" in the Con stitutiou, without au appeal to universal suffrage. We come uow toachareteristic bit of Guerron nierieca : "After having restored to the public assemblies their importance, by publicity, by the vote of the address, and by the presence of ministers without portfolios on the government bench, it was necessary to give the control more efficacity. In placing supplemen tary credit's under legislative guarantees, the Em per or does not weaken his power ; he limits it." Oh ! toe • French Jeremy Bentham to gibbet as they deserve those dealers in wordy distinctions ! None so great as Guerronniere in pointing a difference between "importance" and etficacity," between "weakened" and "limited " power. But to come tossefitiee. The article, alter justifying, according to the writer's nature, all that has been hitherto, gives it to be understood that better is coming. "Is there nothing," he says, "to be added to the recent senates oonsultum 1" Have we seen the last of our constitutional reforms 1 We do not think so." This sentiment, I observe in passing, is quite adverse to • speech of M. Dillault's ' who weut in strong for finality, and to various articles in the Moniker and its satellites—but never mind. I believe in the Patrie's inspiration this time and sus pect something coming for the new year. The above is the sum and substance of an article epuu out as M. de la Guerronniere, that wonderful word spinner, is wont to do. I find little more worth quoting. Be admits that the laws on the press re quire revision ; says that the empire has passed its militant condition, and is uow entering upon a constitutional and liberal phase ' • in almost the same terms as M. Prev ost Paradol he concedes the principle of ministerial responsibility, and while pretesting against " par liazuentary gevernment " acluowledges the necessity of such a "representative government" as comes to the same thing. Verily we hope that there is a "good time coining." A considerable piece of news to-day is that the ' Court of Cassatiuu has quashed the sentence of the 'lmperial Court of Perin against Mires, for various vices of form. Thu legislation of the Code Nape leou, too blindly admired, as I humbly conceive, pro hibits the Supreme Court of Appeal from correct ing a judgment which it denuuuees as wrong. This high and much vaunted court is only competent to say that right has not been done, but cannot of itself do right. Mires is to be tried over again at Douai, by a court of co-ordinate jurisdiction with the Imperial Court of Paris. A fresh appeal to the Court of Caseation will lie from the decision of the Court of Douai. I remember noticing iu a hasty paragraph written at the com mencemeut of the proceedings in the Court of 011/1- elation that Mires' counsel complained very bitterly that the judge-reporter, M. Plougoulm, had gone out of his way to pronounce., a homily against Mire*, instead of confining himself to the rj points of law, with which alone the Court of mention is supposed to deal. I now hear a ciirizais anecdote on this subject. The counsel had privately told the presiding judge, M. Waisse, that he thought of waking a motion to suppress the irrelevant passages of M. Plougoulm'a report. The president begged him not to take • course which would occasion much scandal, but promised not to interrupt him if be attacked the report in the course of his speech. The counsel made large use of this permission, and much amusement was given to the members of the bar who were in the secret by M. Plougoului's uneasy contortions in his seat on the bench, and his ineffectual attempts to telegraph to the President that Ithe counsel ought to be stopped. M. Waisse, bent down on his desk taking notes, refused pertinaciously to catch the eye of his irate brother. The Temps and ()pinion Nationale were severally convicted to-day of the misdemeanour of publishing " false news," and, the charge of " bad faith" being negatived, sentenced only to pay fines of 2.000 f. each. The false news in question was an unlucky canard about a young lady being shot in the Con vent Des Oilman:, in the Rue de &Ivrea, which was invented by a rather celebrated correspondent of a foreign journal who goes upon the principle that a readable anecdote is none the worse fur not being true. The Bourse remains waiting for American news, ! and there is little disposition to speculate deeply. The rente, after slight fluctuations, closed at 67f. 15c. for cash, and 671. 26f. for account, with a rise of bc. in each care. Mubilier fell 2f. 50c., and the Italian loan 20c. In railways there was scarcely any change. The Pays thinks it necessary to say es " Latest News" that the only object of the daily meetings of the Council of the Admiralty is to settle the promo tions to be made as usual at the end of the year. The natural inference Ifroni this announcement is, that people had supposed the Admiralty to be occu pied with preparations for the eventuality of war.

PARNIONI POR JANUARY. (Fran Le Pellet.) The articles meetly employed fur indoor dross are &civets, rep, and woollen terry velvets ; silk, satin, month, terry, and plain velvets are patronised for visiting, or for fall dress. Soutache is still the favourite ornament, and is applied to ell materials, and for any style of drew. Cloaks, also, are handsomely braided. In fact, this trimming is employed wherever it can be advantageously introduced. Astra= is still in great favour, but Swansdown has been introduced for full dress, and has a very elegant effect. The skate of drams' are worn very full, and long behind, Tight sleeves are very rarely seen. The most fashionable shape for the preempt mouth is open, rather short, sad well. The trimming is not generally placed at the edge, bet a little below the elbow. The bodies are made open down the front, but have usually a small piece of the same material as the skirt detached from the corsage, but which ow be r ut under the opening for out-of-door wear. They are fastened by buttons, unless they have some trimming does the front, which necessitates a flat surface. Some ledies are attached quite on ow side, or the flueseiog be gins ea one shoulder, and ends at the waist on the opposite side. Many corsages are so trimmed as to give the appear then of a jacket, the ornament ending at the waist under the arm. Pockets are still worn ornamented, but, instead of being sown on the outside as formerly, the opening only is ease- Corsages are made either pointed or round. With the latter style a band is worn ; or a math with lon float tag sods, which is often made of the same wataiel sa. the dews, sad covered with soutache. Silk Ilsoniss are war* pinked or bound ; the former style is the won eisipah They are sometimes set on in large plaits, in which case they are hemmed. We have seen some an dresses made with one deep dome and two small ooes placed above; sad with as tipper skirt to fall and meet the ter Amass Beth boom sad skirt. were pinked. The lathy of the. them was made open, with open sleeves, and rather short. sad both trimmed with a frill pinked at each edge. We may math= the following dresees as among the most sispat we have seen :—A violet moire embroidered ea tether, with bunches of grapes and leaves ; the leaves of velvet, sad the grape embroidered in satin-ditch. This trimming is continued up the body, in the form of a plea tree. Sleeves, with revers embroidered. Small pointed pockets. An azure-blue dress, °nauseated by a handsome braidiog above the hem, and on each seam ; and tinni est* in a point at the waist. The bed,, both at frost and bask, trimmed in the same manner. Tight sleeves, epee to the elbow, and braided. A black silk drew, with small bouquets of Capucine flowers. The skirt tnmeled with three enema} , thuds of black velvet, piped to match the !seamen. High, tight body, buttoned, with pointed center, of velvet, made to correspoud with the bands. Sleeves, with revers of black velvet, also in the same style. the the fourth dress, of green silk, the skirt was trimmed with two thmuces, about seven inches wide, mid above them three narrow black wee. A narrow green flounce corn mewed at the waist, and, disposed in the form of a tunic, fell at the back, just above the top of one of three narrow louses. Body high, and buttoned ; trimmest with a nar row frill, placid en berths sonde at the back, and descending to the waist in front, in the form of a heart. Open sleeves, with one wide acid one narrow flounce. For ball dresses, aothieg is so elegant or so ilistingue in effect as tarlatan , ' skirt*, with flounces pinked, and headed by boeillonoes, ever coloured ribbon, or chlorine ruches of silk. it ealoured tarlatan skirt, to match the ribbons or ruching., is worn under the white one. Coloured tarkthaleand crapes are worn, but are scarcely so simple or recherche. Laos Scenes, are generally lined with crape or tarlatan, either white or coloured, to impart a little stiff's.. to them. Satin eiessess, with lee flounces, will be worm for full drew by married ladies. For elderly ladies, we have noticed some velvet dresses, °peeing down the front, over =tin, moire, or watered silk. The under-skirt is generally handsomely wtheoidered, or trimmed with lace. We remarked 000 dress is particular made in this style. It was of violet velvet ; the edgo of the ()peeing embroidered is grapes sad leaves—the latter worked in gull, sod the grapes formed of pearls. The under-skirt was of white satin, with a wide bouillonne of white crape, crombarred with narrow gold timid. The body, a Is Raphael, opened over white satin, and was oreameeted Lke the skirt. A very elegant ben dier was of amber.coloured crape, over white satin. The erape skirt was made about Seven inches shorter than the seta one, sod had small flounces, edged with narrow black guipure, put on fluted. Above each flounce was a black guipure insertion. The body wasdecollete, and had a pointed berth., formed of two arrow frills, like those on the skirt ; the upper one-headed by an insertion. The sleeve' were short, and funned of a bouilloont; of white sett., sod • frill of crepe. The bead-drew was formed of amber-coloured new with black moss ; and the ornaments were of }et. This article forms a very fashionable oroaineet at the pre seat time, especially for Decklacee, either in or out of mourn ing. One white teristaoe drew we saw was computed of several skirts, which were festooned by a chatelaine of holly bornes sad leaves. Opera-eloal;;es still worn io the form of the bur nous. Some are made as paleu - de, but the burnous boa the adventadi of being more sully removed. They are mailed Win, silk, and terry velvet., cachemire, or plush ; and ere handsomely braided, embroidered, or edged with lace. When made in plush, they are merely edged with a large silk cord, with tussle at each corner. The eachernire opera cloaks are spotted with gold or silver. We have seen one made in black eachemire, spotted with gold, and trimmed all round with a deep ruching a la 'Wile, edged at each ride by a narrow white blonds.

At 7 a.m., on Friday, the 20th, the whole of the troops cad military prisoners in Malta ensemble& on the parade-ground at Fort Ricasoli, for the purpose of seeing carried into effect the sentence of a court-martial con demning John Edwards, a gunner of the Royal Artillery, to be shot for firing at his adjutant, Captain Keats. The prisoner, accompanied by a protestant clergyman, was marched down the entire front, preceded by the band, playing the " Deed March" in Saul, and followed by twelve artillerymen who were to shoot him. It took some time, this marching round in slow time, after which the usual formalities were gone through, which occupied about half an hour. The prisoner then marched to his coffin and on one bass beside it, and the twelve men, his former emundes, who were drawn up at a very abort distance faun him, fired at the word of cornmeal, and the prisoner fell ea his tight arm. This was a little after 8 o'clock. The provost marshal then advanced and fired a pistol through his ear. The provost marshal was so nervous that he fired • first ineffectual shot by accident. The whole of the troops were then marched in slow time, the bends again playing the "Dead March" peettheompse, which lay huddled up just as it fell, and front the dust of the marching troops soon became • mass of blood and dirt. After this the whole of the troops returned to their quarters. On the Sunday previous Edwards was measured for his coffin, and the same evening was conveyed to Fort Ricasoli. He was about 24 years of age, and of an indifferent character. After his condemnation the conducted himself with great firmness and nerve. On the morning of his execution he cleaned his accoutrement. and boots, sod appeared on the parade mound a clean-looking soldier. He marched through - ' out the whole trying ceremony with great firmness. without the least swagger or bravado, and knelt down upon one knee at the word of command to be shot to death as calmly as if it bad been a common portion of his exercise. Her Majesty's ship Neptune arrived from Syracuse on the 22nd. Her Majesty's ship Megan left for England on the 21st, having been detained to have her engines patched up.

A CIIILD LIURNZD TU DEATH.—OD Saturday afternoon an inquest was held by Mr. John Humphrey; coroner for East Middlesex, at the City of Loudon llospiud, upon the body of a little girl earned Elizabeth Maori, aged five years, who was burned tode.th onChnstruits.day, under very melaocholy circumstances . It appeared, from the evidence, that the mother of the deceased, who is a widow, left her two children—the youngest being only two years old—ia her room, at 1, Grove-street, Commercial-road, while she went out to oaks some purchases for the Christ mas dinner. There wee a little tire in the grate at the time, and she cautioned the demised not to go over it. After being absent about half en, hour sbe returned, and to her horror found that the eldest girl had set herself on fire, and her drew was completely burned off, she being absolutely mode—even her hair being consumed. The other child said that Elizabeth had put some paper on the fire to make a blsze and that it fell out and set lire to her dram. The un- [I:W °PENCE INDIA AND CHINA. The Overland Mail has brought advices from Calcutta to the 22nd Nov., from Madras to the 27th, and from Hong Kong to the 15th of the same month. The Friend of India gives the following summary of the news of the fortnight entlingen the 22nd Nov. : Never has there bees such • unanimity of feeling among all climes in Bawdas in the expreseion of regret and mpathy called forth during the past few dam by the sympathy celled forth during th. peat few day. by the death of Counter Canning. Previous to the departure of Lord Canning for Allahabed last month, Lady Canning went to Darjeeling, and there enjoyed the healthy exercise to which its bracing climate invites. Forgetting that the deadly character of the malaria which always hovers over the feral, • belt of dense vegetation 16 miles broad skirting the Himalayas, had been intensified by the heavy rains and recent inundations, Lady Canning, on her return in th e b eg i nn i ng of this month, seems to have caught the germs of dis ease which laid her low a few days after her arrival in Cal. mita. She lingered for only a week, though enjoying the highest medical skill the Presidency could afford, and paned away a little after two o'clock on Monday morning. At daybreak on the succeeding day, she was interred in thegam den heating the Government House of Itarraori which Lord Wellesley built on the b an k s of the y, just opposite Semamore College. The residents ofCalcutta had expressed a wish to attend her remains to the grave, but the strictest privacy was observed. All classes of the Christian community, however have testi fi ed their reaped for her memory and symey with Lord ✓ivulet to wear marring weeks. It i e rgg.,l u i c i g o se roe s zermenent testimony of the respect in which the da ndy wee always held will he paid. She was a mod active patroness and liberal supporter of all philanthropic movements, having taken a warm personal interest in such isetitutioas as the Asylum far Orphan European Girls. It has been said with truth, that no higher eulogy can be =on the late countess than this—th a t s h e has bees to all that the Queen is to Euglaod. This sad and unexpected event has postponed the leper taus of Lord Canning for the Godavery and British Burnsah, for which he had arranged to mail in the Peruse last Satur day. His visit will be made, but will be necessarily cur tailed to allow of the despatch of the steamer to Suez for Lord Elgin. The delay is tuffortanate, moreover, as the river Oodavery is fast fading, and it will not be possible to emceed it so far as war &tarsi inteeded. Our readers will with interest Lord Canning', emphatic address to the rarookdar d Gude, oaths oocrudoe of his last visit to Locknow. The canoe of infanticide, there so vigorously condemned, was only too commas during the anarchy of the native adminis tration, as Slam= shows in his work. It is not yet extiut, but the step takes will prove effectual. The movement is due to Mr. Yule, the chief commissioner. At Deflates, on his way back to the capital, Lord Canning replied to an address from the Maharajah and • thousand of the native residents of that wealthy city, in terms which are dignified enough looked at in a political light, but which attach • value to Hindooism, and and a slight on Christianity, sin gularly at variance with the frank avowal of her Majesty's proclamation of Ist November, 1858. There was an upper tainity for an house decla ra tion of a similar character, afforded by the address of the natives, of which the viceroy ought to have taken advantage. The Madras Athenerno& says: With regard to the cotton question we have to mention the fact that the matter has bees taken up by the Madras government. A minute by his Excellent y the Governor has been published, from which we learn that he has made a minty of inquiries and given the subject much cossiders tioa, not only here but in Australia likewise. The result of the inquiries made is first, "that the great surplus of cotton supposed to exist in the interior of the country is the product of the imagination of those whose object it is to show that there is traffic sufficient to defray the nest of transport, as well as the interest of money invested in railroads, or canals, as the case may be;" and, secondly, "that the extensive districta of what is emphatically called cotton soil, though well adapted to produce native cotton, which is shirt in the staple and streem not toes) comes is the fibre, is not con. paid to the growth of the fine species of American cotton." His excellency is therefore of opinion that, without disooureging any experiments which may be made to grow American cotton, attention should be principally directed to improving the indigenous staple. The mode in which this is to be effected is as fol lows From the seed pods of this year's take out those seeds to which the largest fibres are a establishing a minimum length of fibre, throwing away all thou seeds the cotton of which does not lamb this standard; them selected seeds will be used for the next crop, and a similar proems will be followed with this, the minimum length being increased every year. In this way in the course of a few year. it is probable that a permanent addi tion will be made to the length and possibly to the fineness of the fibre, and it will then be easy to spread the seed of the improved kid over the whole of the Indigenous cotton fields of India." Land is to be given, free of muss ment for five years, to those ryots who are willing to undertake the cultivation ; prices varyirg in amount from its. 100 to Ks. 5,000 are to be awarded for the best specimens, whether of native or foreign spades, „ according to some scale to be hereafter deterinieol, the highest pre. miuni being given to the successful cultivator of cotton whose value per pound and the value of the crop pe r acre should not be less than the sums determined upon. " In structions have bees, issued to the collectors of Bel !toy, Cuddapah, Kurnool, Kiang*, Madura, Tinnevelly, and Coimbatore to carry out the intentions of the Governor to the utmost of their power. Whatever other merits this plan may have it is evident that it does not possess the one which will renommend it to Manchester manufacturers—immediate supply of the raw material, of which they stand so much in need. In con nexion with this subject it may be mentioned that our Chamber of Commerce has undertaken the duty of awarding the primes ; and that the new Australian colony of Queens land hes applied for Madras labourers to cultivate ootton there. To this request the answer which has been returned is, that es soon as regulations are passed providing for the proper treatment of the aonlies, emigration will be allowed. Dr. Gull, Bishop of Madras, was formally installed on the 27th November. fortunate child was instantly conveyed to the hospital, but all•died in a short time.
