France has a better opportunity now than she had nearly forty years ago of seeing inaugurated, with a reasonable prospect of permanence, the political system and the political institutions known as th3se f Constitutional Government. In the July of 1830 Lhe transformation effected was little better than a stock-jobbing transaction. CHARLES X. made way 'or Louis PHlLlPPE—Absolutism, under the nominal guise of Constitutionalism, yielded up its ground to a set of Parliamentarians. There was fighting for three days in the streets of Paris, and when tranquillity was restored, in lieu of the white cockade, and the white flag, and the lilies of the BuLTRBON, there wero displayed, under a bran new ORLEANS dynasty, the old revolutionary tri-colour that—according to the memorable phrase of LAMARTINE, nearly twenty years ,aterwards, when the reign of the Citizen Monarch bad been brought with a sort of disgust abruptly to an end—had made the tour of the world at the head of the conquering armies of France with her liberties and her glory. For seventeen, for very nearly eighteen years, that Citizen King was housed, there, at the Tuileries. PIIILIPPON, the carcicaturist, likened him to an old pear-head. BON GUALTIER, in one excruciatingly ridiculous apostrophe, made the Arab exclaim of him, with a sort of scorn —" His head is like a pen 1" Grotesque pencils galore identified him with ROBERT MACAIRE, as thoroughly as the genius of comic acting identified with that character the name and person of M. FREDERIC LEMAITRE. All the while, during the lapse of those seventeen or eighteen years, there was a consciousness in France, there was a consciousness throughout Europe, that in the person of King Loris PHILIPPE, there was nothing than a shrewd, some thought a clever kind of a huckstering Sovereign. His reign was filled, or at any rate, was dotted at plentiful intervals, with mistakes. Whatever sympathy he obtained, he derived from what Mr. GLADSTONE has taught us to call " unavoidable calamity." The acci - _lental destruction of the life of his eldest son, the DUC D'ORLEANS, was one of these calamities. The atrocious attempt at his assassination, or rather of the massacre of the KING himself and his entourage, by means of the aptly called infernal machine of the wretched conspirator FIESCUI, was another. A third was the premature demise of the gifted young Prin cess, his daughter, one maniNstation of whose Intel ' lectual capacity stilt survives, for the recognition of us all, in that well-known and lovely statuette of JEAN D'Artc clasping her cross-handled sword to her bosom. The sympathy felt for the bereaved father, for the outraged Sovereign, for the nominal or left handed founder of a kind of a new dynasty—that of the younger branch of the House of Bourbon— the sympathy springing out of these and other unavoidable calamities proved in each instance, how ever, to be only very fugitive. Turn by turn they gradually faded out of the popular remembrance. People could not, for the life of them, lose the recol lection that the Citizen King was the son of the in famous regicidal EgaLte. There was a sense, in lelible and ineradicable, that the head of Orleanism was (as we have already said) at the best a kind of a huckstering Sovereign. The crowning acts of his public life, the anal achievements of his reign, more than justified the popular impression as to he unheroic character of the man who had, in the July of 1830, been placed by a stock-jobbing intrigue at the head of France, as the chief of a system of Parliamentary Govern ment. The Spanish Marriages set the iv:al to his h'storical career. The Citizen King was ignomini ously cicasseed out of France, shorn of his whiskers, deprived of his wig, with an old pa jacket wrapped about him instead of a royal robe, with a shabby peaked travelling cap on h;s head instead of a crown, his very title degraded to the homeliest pseudonym. <urely, that any Monarch ever accepted—namely, that of another Mr. SMITH.

Finally—be fore the year of the revolution, 1848, had run out— on the 10th of December, a Republic, under the Presidency of Prince Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. Four years of that last phase of French Republi canism led, as by a kind of necessity, to the revival of the Empire. Seventee❑ or eighteen years as Empe ror, NAPOLEON 111. has been since then reigning. Within that interval France, under his Government, has acquired fresh glory in the field, in the old world and in the new, in the Crimea and in Italy, in China and in Japan. Under NAPO LEON 111. her resources have been enhanced—her commer,e has been liberated from the thraldom of protective imposts—her railways and telegraphs, side by side, have been promoted and enormously deve loped ; and at length, not precipitately, in the fullness of time, not suddenly, not hurriedly, not wildl -, on the same spur of the moment, but very deliberately and very systematically, absolute auttority has been resigned by the EMPEROR, who has now called, to the aid of himself and of his dynasty, the strengthening influences of Constitutional Government. It is in the remembrance of all this, that we cannot but re cognise, in the restoration of parliamentary institu tions to France,. under an Emperor NAPOLEON, the fair and resonable prospect of their permanent con solidation. IT is not often that a parliamentarysession produces, in addition to one measure of the greatest magni tude, a number of measures of scarcely secondary importance. The last three years have been given up almost entirely to one subject—Parliamentary Reform. To that all other important measures were made subservient, and most of them were ruthlessly sacrificed. The first result of altering the parliamen tary machinery has been to turn out an amount of legislation quite unprecedented, when the quality of it is taken into consideration. The strongest oppo nent of the present Government will admit that there has been no lack of industry. Those who most deeply deplore the revolution which has befallen the Irish Church will allow that Mr. GLADSTONE, having obtained a great majority, has turned it to large, even though they may think it disastrous, account. In fact, they will admit that, leaving out of the list the Act by which the session of 1869 will be rendered for ever memorable, the Ministerial strength has been used to good purpose. There are at least four other measures of the highest class which must have the approbation of both political parties. They are the Bankruptcy Bill, the Telegraphs Bill, the Endowed Schools Bill, and the Habitual Criminals Bill. In carrying the first, Sir ROBERT COLLIER has obtained a triumph which was denied to men of the calibre of Sir ROUNDELL PALMER and Lord CAIRNS. They have laboured, and he has entered into their labours. The present measure is in no small degree the work of the able lawyer who leads the Conservatives in the House of Lords. But the evenly-balanced state of parties prevented the late Administration from carrying this and other useful measures that they would gladly have passed. It is owing partly to the pre sent ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S taCt, and partly to his good fortune, that he has succeeded where others have failed. Another measure which would have been carried last year but for the numerical weakness of the Conservative Ministry, has been car ried this year in consequence, not of the nume rical strength of the present Liberal Ministry, but because the country and Parliament were so urgent in supporting it. If Mr. LowE had been allowed to choose his own way, he would certainly not have chosen to buy the telegraphs. Both he and Mr. BRIGHT have a morbid horror of Govern ment interposition in trade, even when it can be clearly shewn that the interposition would be for the benefit of both parties. That it will prove so in the present instance we have not the smallest doubt. The third principal measure that we have named is, notwithstanding its importance, only the introduc tion to a more important bill which we may trust to see brought in next session. We could have wished that the Endowed Schools Bill had been more exten sive in its operations, and that the Government had shewn as much vigour in dealing with antiquated bequests as it has with the funds of the Irish Church. As it is, we fear that the new Act will be only slightly operative, and that the Government will have to apply before long for increased and coercive powers. The Scotch Education Bill, after having been strongly opposed in the Commons by the Scotch members, and after having escaped defeat in every division in the Lords by majorities sometimes as low as two, suffered shipwreck in the final division through the self-denial of Conservative peers who returned to London in obedience to the Whip, in order to give a parting slap on the face to the other House of the Legislature which they love so little. The Habitual Criminals Bill ought to produce a material diminution of crime, though the Lords left the Commons insufficient time to consider its details. Passing to the minor measures of the session, we I find among those which have become law the bill for transferring the licensing of beerhouses from the Excise to the magistrates (the first instalment of that oft-promised, oft-delayed reform of the liquor traffic which successive Ministers have pledged them selves to effect, and which Mr. BRUCE promises two years hence) ; the bill for modifying imprisonment for debt ; the Bishops' Resignation Bill, which is good so far as itgoes, but goes a very little way; and the bill for protecting the funds of trades unions, which is the first instalment of legislation upon the greatest social question of the day. The changes introduced by Mr. LowE's financial policy form a class of them selves. Some of those involved in the Budget were of very questionable utility, and will in flict considerable hardship. The measure for enabling Government stock-holders to receive their dividends without waiting a day at the Bank of England, or feeing an agent to appear in their behalf, will prove of unmixed advantage. The present CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, while possessed of so many faults of temper and manner that he is about the best-hated man in the house of Commons, has unquestionably shewn considerable originating power, which ought to lead him to new and great reforms. While speaking of finance, we must not omit to refer to the Duke of ARGYLL'S very remarkable despatch respecting Indian rail ways, which may hereafter prove to be the beginning of a new and important change in the relations between the Government and this class of enter prises both abroad and at home. But all these measures and changes are eclipsed by the princip a l ac hi evemen t o f the session. The disestablishing of a State Church is a work so novel, so seriou s , th a t i t m i g ht well have daunted a bolder man e ven th an M r. G LAD STONE. Nor was this all. The t as k i nvo l ve d th e mastery of an infi nity of details w hi c h i t seeme d a lmost impossible for any statesman to m as t er. It is all well enough to deal with great p r i nc i p l es i n h us tings speeches, but they will not satisfy the House of Commons in com mittee. Those who had heard or read Mr. GLAD STONE'S orations l as t N ovem b er predicted that he would utterly f a il when he came to p ro p ose a definite schem e , f or th e orator was, they a ffirmed, no organi ser . N ever wa s prediction more f:ilsified. There was not a single point of im portance which Mr. GLADSTONE had not provided for, and the principal modifications which he made in his bill were introduced, not because he or his followers believed them to be improvements, but in order that the House of Lords might be induced to pass the bill. The triumphant and unwavering majorities in the Lower House warned the Upper that to reject this bill would be to incur very serious peril. Consequently so large a number of the Con servative party agreed to read it a second time that the critical stage was surmounted without difficulty. The debate to which it gave rise was one of the finest in parliamentary annals, and has greatly increased the reputation of our hereditary legislators as orators, The subsevent manoeuvres sorely shook the confidence in their discretion even among their admirers. Up to the last moment it seemed as if they had not prudence enough to prevent a rup ture between the two Houses. But happily the personal antagonism of the two rivals for the Con servative leadership came into operation, and Loid CAIRNS, distanced at the beginning of the race by the Marquis of SALISBURY, came in winner at the end. The great measure has now become law, and already it is producing a beneficent effect both upon the Church and the Irish nation. The first it is arousing to new life, the second it has in a great measure conciliated. The work of cor.- ciliation still remains to be completed by the legislation of next session. There is still the land problem to be solved. It is, if any thing, more difficult than the Church question. The Conservative party and the Times, which has been coquetting with the party throughout the session, endeavoured to force the hand of the Ministry, and to compel them to say this year what they intended to do next year with this great question. But the attempt failed, as the concurrent endowment scheme failed a few weeks later, and the way stands clear for a Ministry, strong in the success which they have already obtained, to march to other victories. Scarcely coming within the legislation of the year, yet an important element in its parliamentary history, has been the great economical work which has been effected in the spending departments. To knock off two millions from our military estimates in the course of a single year is no slight triumph, especially coming after the increased estimates of the previous Administration. By bringing to the man agement of the Admiralty and the War Office ordi nary business capacity, it has been found that the waste and the jobbery in the two departments have been scandalous, and that the taxpayers have been most unfairly taxed. It is stated that still further re ductions will be made next year. Should this anticipa tion prove correct, Ministers will find, as they have found this year, that reduced estimates will greatly help them to carry heroic measures. (r, 11/ (17:4 „au t HER MAJESTY.

I Our satisfaction at the passing of the Bishops Resigns►- tion Bill is in some measure diminished by the statement, which has appeared in the papers, that the two bishops whose cases seem to have been chiefly in the contempla tion of the authors of the bill do not intend to take ad vantage of it. To say the truth, we do not exactly see why they should. There was nothing to prevent them from resigning before ; and there is nothing to induce them to do so now. If the Bishop of Exeter, or his family, have taken no note of the feeling of Churchmen or many years past, we do not see what should bring it at present within their cognisance. If the Bishop should be spared to keep his hundredth birthday, he will not be less able to discharge his diocesan duties than he is at ninety-one. Nor can the pension be of any importance to him. His stalls at Durham and Exeter bring him the full income of a bishopric; and, these, it is understood, he could retain. He has never resided in the Palace, that he would have nothing in that way to give up. The Bishop of Winchester's is a still stronger case. He has received for more than forty years an income equal to that of four ordinary bishoprics, and he has freely used his patronage, in what Mr. Dickenson appears to consider the proper way—for the benefit of his kin. It is absurd to suppose that he can have been un willing to resign on the score of poverty. What the bill will do for these prelates in the way of encouraging their retirement it is hard to see. Three bishoprics remain, of which the incumbents are notoriously incapacitated by sickness or age from the discharge of their duties. Whether they will take advantage of the Act, no one knows. If all refuse to do so the Legislative failure will be little less than ridiculous. The Duke of Somerset alone will have the pleasure of reminding us that he predicted what would follow, and that he proposed a clause to meet the case. The further consequence will probably be—as generally happens in these cases—a much more extensive measure of change, and one much less considerate to the high personages whose domestic interests appear to block the way.—Guardian. ALLEGED SAD REVERSE OF FORTUNE. At a meeting of the Paddington Board of Guardians, held on Wednesday, the case of Mr. Hamilton Wood, aged 76 years, an inmate in the workhouse, whose extraordinary account of himself as having several times won large fortunes in trade, and as many times (through circumstances over which he had no control) been reduced to abject poverty, again came under the notice of the board. The chairman stated that since the matter had been ventilated in the London news papers the master of the workhouse had reeei .red a letter frcm Scotland signed "J. 8.," the writer thereof having enclosed a £1 note, which he desired should be given to Mr. Wood whenever he left the workhouse. The chairman went on further to state that he had re ceived another letter from the noble lord with whom Mr. Wood had claimed relationship, and his lordship had recommended that further inquiries should be made into Mr. NV ood's antecedents, and advising the guar dians to be cautious in placing full credence in the story given them. Mr. Prescott also stated he had received a cheque for £lO from a lady in Hampshire, and who had supplemented her benevolence by offering the old man an asylum for life on her estate in Hamp shire. He had also received a letter from a gentleman residing at Burnley, in Lancashire, rho, after reciting that be had been a sufferer from the failure of Messrs. Overend and Gurney, said he sincerely felt for the old man, and begged to enclose him a £5 note. Mr. Hall urged upon the guardians that, after all, a probability existed that they were sympathising with an improper and unworthy character. It was not at all an unusual event for a Iran to fall from high estate into poverty ; but still such men generally found friends who alleviate their condition above absolute penury. Certainly the guardians ought not to be held responsible for the accuracy of the extraordinary statements made by this man, neither did he think the board was the proper channel whereby moneys given by the charitalf e should be disbursed. The chairman said he had thought of all that, and his reply to the lady in Hampshire called from her a second letter, in which she withdrew her offer of providing Mr. Wood with an asylum for life, and stated that when she re turned to London she would have the matter fully investi gated. Some further discussion ensued, and eventually it was ordered that, in the event of Mr. Wood not fully substantiatirg the statements made by him, the whole of the money be returned to the donors. Mr. John Buskin has been elected to the Slade Art Professorship at Oxford. The professorship is held fur a term of three years, at the expiration of which the holder of the office may be again eh eted for one other term of the same du , ation.

During the gale which blew from the W.N.W. on Monday night, a vessel, supposed to be a schooner-yacht, and having a gilt tall at the mast head, foundered slightly to the eastward of the Margeto Sand head buoy. The name of the vessel has rot. been ascertained. It is supposed tLat the crew Lave perished. Mr. Disraeli and the Viscountess Beaconsfield have accepted an invitation to spend next weel: at Alton Towers, with the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury. Mr. Disraeli will not, as at present understood, accept any invitation to take part in public proceedings in the locality, his object being to have a week's rest at Alton. THE DEAN OF ELY ON THE CHURCH.—In preaching the other day at Great Yarmouth, the Dean of Ely said it would be absurd to deny that recent legislation must have an influence upon the Church of England In her relations to the State. He considered, however, that the Establishment was in greater danger from " horrible internal divisions" than from outward attacks. METROPOLITAN TMPROVEMENTS.—Both the Hol born Viaduct and the new Blackfriars Bridge are rapidly approaching completion. The bridge is perhaps the finest in the world, and the viaduct is as unique and handsome a work as can be found in any capital in Europe. The outlay on these gigantic undertakings amounts to about a million and a half sterling. THE LATE NORFOLK ELECTION PETITION.—The bill of costs in the late North Norfolk election petition inquiry of the respondents (Sir E. H. K. Lacon, M.P., and the Hon. F. Walpole, M.P.) against the petitioners has been before Master Gordon for taxation. The bill originally amounted to £2,383 19s. 10d. ; but the Master reduced it to £1,619 18s. 10d. A letter from Dr. James Green, the Dean of MaritzLurg, is published by the Church News. Mr. Green, when he wrote, had been a month at Natal, and describes the progress of church work in the colony. Bishop Ma crorie had arrived in Maritzburg, where Le had opened two churches. A new cathedral was being built to seat 450. Mr. Green is anxious to erect a baptistry, to impress upon the heathen population the importance of the rite of baptism, and is distressed at the lack of means for educating the young. The German missionaries have a Lutheran establishment, wLich is well attended, but the English Churchmen have no sufficient school. A WONDERFUL MEASURING INSTRUMENT. — One of the most remarkable objects at the recent meeting of the mechanical engineers at Newcastle was the new chronoscope, for measuring the velocity of a projectile within the bore of a gun, theinvention of Captain Andrew Noble, late Royal Artillery, now of the firm of Sir W. Armstrong and Co. This wonderful instrument is capable of measuring portions of time so minute that the human mind is as unable to realise them as it is to grasp ideas of infinity. A clock denoting tenths of seconds is looked upon as a most -- accurate instrument. What shall we then say to a machine capable of dividing the second into a million parts?—to an instrument where the inaccuracy of the thousandth part of a second would be a greater comparative error than the loss of an hour a day by an ordinary watch? The chronoscope consists of six brass discs, each 36 inches in circumference and about a inch thick. These are firmly secured to a spindle or axle, which is geared to a train of wheelwork, the whole being driven by a weight something similar to a clock weight. Each wheel travels five times as fast as the one immediately preceding it, so that a very rapid motion of rotation is im parted to the discs, the rate of speed being measured by a clock or stop-watch attached to one of the slower moving wheels. When the instrument is in full spin, the discs are revolving at a rate of about 28 times in one second, and, as they are 36 inches in circum ference, an inch of disc corresponds to about the thousandth part of a second, the tenth of an inch to the ten-thousandth part of a second, and the thousandth of an inch to the millionth of a second. The instrument is provided with a graduated scale, vernier and magnifier, by which the thousandth of an inch is read off. The passage of the shot in the bore of the gun is recorded on the edge of each disc by a tiny electric spark derived from a Rhumkorff coil. A brass discharger is fixed in an ebonite plate opposite each disc, wires pass from this through an electric battery and coil to the gun, where they communi cate with the interior of the bore by means of screw plugs in the side of the gun. The shot cannot pass out of the bore without cutting the wires thus communicating with the inside, and as each wire is cut a spark is emitted from, a discharger, and the edge of the corresponding disc receives a mark on some prepared paper with 04 A is mend.
