Governments like that of the French Emperor deal largely in the unexpected. No one would have anticipated that in this hour of quietude and esta _ _ „ _ blished fame the Ruler of France would think i necessary to propose a change in the constitution of his country ; and yet such is the case. Changes in the Ministry accompany changes in the consti tution. Count Walevvski becomes Minister of State in place of M. Fould, resigned. This in itself would be a matter of little moment to Frenchmen and of none at all to us. Whether the President of the Congress of Paris or his financial colleague fill a certain office can have but little effect on the course of events in France ; and, though England has no reason to be attached to a politician who professes to despise Parliamentary institutions, yet we can see his return to power with perfect equa nimity. More important are the decrees which so much extend the influence of the Legislative Assem blies in the F renc h E mp i re. The Emperor—so says the Imperial. Decree—is desirous to afford to the great bodies of the State a more direct partici pation in the general policy of the Government and a direct proof of his confidence. Accordingly, the Senate and the Legislative Body are annually to vote an address in reply to the Imperial speech at the opening of the session. The address is to be discussed in the presence of Government Commis sioners, who will give the Chambers the necessary explanations on the home and foreign policy of the Empire. Changes are introduced in the method of discussing bills or projects of law ; and the debates of the Senate and Legislative Body, reported by the seeretaries, under the authority of the President of either Chamber, are to be sent every evening to all the journals. The debates of each sitting are to be accurately pub lished in the official journal of the following Ministers without office are to defend the projects of law before the Chambers in concert with the members of the Council of State. It would ill become us to keep silence on the promulgation of so important a decree. We may state, however, at once our conviction that Napo leon has no intention of conferring upon his shadow of a Peerage and his shadow of a Representation those privileges which belong to the fr e e assem bli es of this country. The constitution of the French Empire is such that a parallel can hardly be drawn between us and our neighbours. The bodies which are now promised an increase of freedom across the Channel are widely different from our own. The French Senate consists of celebrities, and is as power. less and as devoted to authority as an assembly must be in which the number of independent and nonofficial personages does not preponderate. The Legislative Body is only an inferior Senate, filled with. local celebrities, recommended by their devo tion to the Imperial cause, and accordingly sup ported by all the power of the Prefect and his subordinates. But these loyal and compliant poli ticians, as subservient to the views of the ruler as any Parliament of the Stuarts, are by no means to be despised as legislators. The most frequent objection to our own Parliament is founded on the number and length of the speeches, which leave no time for business. A French Assembly can not be charged with the same fault. In the Senate the speeches are few and far between. Eloquence is as courteous as a funeral oration under the old Monarchy, and confines itself to panegyrics on the wisdom of the Emperor and congratulations on the success, the power, and the glory of France. What else could be expected from an Assembly where Cardinals, Marshals, and Admirals sit by virtue of their rank, and where high dignity and a sufficient income are held merely by the permission of the supreme authority ? The Legislative Body is more inde pendent in constitution, but hardly more coura geous in practice. A voice is seldom raised against the acts of the Government, against the extrava gance which is sweeping away even the rapid gains of French industry, and the unintelligible vagaries which from time to time unsettle the commerce and disorder the calculations of Frenchmen. But in the every-day business of legislation the French Assemblies have no reason to be ashamed of a comparison with our own. The two Chambers never meet without having a number of bills ready for their examination, and never separate without important additions having been made to the law of France. It is a fact as old as the days of the Roman Cmsars that the strictness of a despotic monarchy is no obstacle to the improvement of the machinery of State; that it has, in fact, advan tages to which liberty cannot attain. Projects of law, prepared by the first men in France, are laid every year on the table of the Legislative Body ; are examined there by men who, if not indepen dent in their political opinions, are at least'qualified for the scientific work of legislation ; and it is worthy of notice that so large a number of good measures receive a thorough examination and a final sanction from a Legislature which the world in general regards as only servile and supine. The Emperor's concessions, therefore, are not to be considered as trifling. He has a Legislature which, though not a vigilant guardian of the pub lic freedom, is composed of men of ability, wealth, and of a kind of Imperialist patriotism. His Cham bers represent the people which has given him supreme and almost despotic power in return for material prosperity, military glory, and diplomatic influence. Napoleon must know that such assem blies are only to be led when they have a man fit to lead them. As long as he has the people at his back ; as long as he is waging great wars and occupying the celebrated capital of the earth— Rome, Constantinople, Athens, Damascus ; as long as he is defending Italian freedom on the one side and making advantageous treaties with Eng land on the other, he is master both of his Senate and his Legislative Body, and the most wayward politician on their benches will hardly dare to utter a word against the Imperial system. But in an hour of trial the case may be very dif ferent. It is the nature of free assemblies to be both the comfort and the terror of Governments. When a Government which has endeavoured to do its duty is in distress for lack of resources or of counsel, it finds its best support in a Parliament which takes away or shares its responsibility, which resolves the questions it has to propose, and strengthens with all the weight of a national decision the opinions to which it inclines. But to the despot, to the slave of the confessional, or the Camarilla, a legislature is a constant terror. Where the constitutional ruler sees support and consolation, he only sees images of terror, the indignant orator, the applauding majority, the cheers which greet the vote of censure, the lowering faces of the deputation which come to communicate it. When a monarch acts as Napoleon 111. is now acting, and gives the Legislature of his Empire fresh powers, he must be iunderstood to accept in some degree the position of a Constitutional Monarch. In giving the French Legislature more freedom he probably acts, not from any inherent love of liberty or from any cherished scheme of extending its bless ings, but from a conviction, gathered from his study and experience, that among an educated and quick witted people the permanent suppression of popular rights is impossible. It is advantageous to enlist on his side powers which can never be totally de stroyed, and which tend continually to increase. The Emperor knows that his own, or his wife's, or his child's weakness will ever be the Legislature's opportunity, and he thinks it as well to be before hand with fate. With so many Parliamentary countries around, France must be Parliamentary also. There is a vitality even in constitutional forms ; they have a tendency to aggrandise them selves, and to draw continually within their reach new sources of influence. And so the French Legislature is about to become a political power, and the Emperor is about to submit his acts and his choice of men to the representatives of the people. The step may seem small, but it is real, for a free spoken Chamber will require responsible Ministers, and men capable of effectually defending the Impe rial policy must be sought outside the ignoble coterie which has so long ruled France.—Times. GAMEKEEPER SHOT.—At a little before 2 o'clock on Friday morning a messenger came from Ganton to the police-office at Scarborough with the information that one of the keepers on the estate of Sir T. D. Legard, at Ganton, near Scarborough, had been shot, and desiring that the police might be on the look-out for suspicious characters passing through the neighbourhood. The keeper is in a dangerous condition, his face, arms, and body being severely wounded. He was unable to state any particulars of the attack. THE CASE OF POISONING IN WEST SUFFOLK. —BURY ST. EDMUNDS, SATURDAY.—The long-pending inquiry into the mysterious circumstances attending the death of the poor boy Robert Murton, at Fornhsm St. Genevieve, near this town, on Friday, Sept. 7, was resumed and concluded last evening by Mr. G. A. Partridge, t local coroner. The deceased lodged with a labourer named Curtis and his wife, at Fomham. The deceased boy kept his little stock of flour in a sack apart from that of the Cur tis's, and on his returning home on the evening of- the 7th of September, a puddig was made for him by Mrs. died L Curtis. After eating p art of this pudding, he ex hibited symptoms of having been poisoned, and aft it a few hours' severe suffering. On the following day the Ourtises were also attacked with similar symptoms, and an examination of their flour, as well as tha t which be longed to the deceas ed boy, showed that it ced senic in considerable quantities. Arsenic was also found on a post mortem e xamination being made on the body of the deceased, and in the crops of several fowls w threw hich ate s ome of the pudding the boy left. T ev he; evidence no light on the manner in which the arsenic became mixed • with the flour, although it was used on the farm for agri cultural purposes. The jury returned the following ver _ diet :—"That the deceased died from the effects of arseni ca.l poisoning, but whether administered by his own hand or .thelhast of another there is not stacient evidence to allow," • FOREIGN Antwerp & notterdarni ]Belg - ,lan East.

WILIZAMs AND 1118 CONS772'brENTS. Last night, in pursuance of .a custom long since established, Mr. Williams met his constituents at the Horns, Kennington, in order to give an ac count of his Parliamentary duties. Although the weather was very bad, the room was crowded shortly after eight o'clock. 'lle chair was taken by Mr. Stratton. It was hardly necessary (he said) for him to tell them that their representative had always met his consti tuents at the end of every session to explain his conduct. It was scarcely necessary to tell them that the late session was a log and protracted one ; and certainly their representative had been most constant in his attendance to his duties. They had now an expensive war with China—they had an increased income tax—but where was the Re form Bill ? (Hear, hear.) He agreed with Alder man Salomons, member for Greenwich, that until the people demanded a proper measure of reform they would never get it. Let them show they appreciated fully their rights and privileges T let them convince the Legislature of their determina tion that those rights and privileges must be granted, and he promised them they would very soon have a measure of reform in accordance with the wishes of the country. (Cheers.) Mr. WILLIAMS then came forward and was very warmly received. The bon. gentleman appeared to suffer from a severe hoarseness, so that his ad dress to bis constituents was not by any means a personal enjoyment. He was, he said, gratified to see so many of his friends present that evening, notwithstanding the inclement state of the wea ther. He invited them to come for the purpose of hearing him render an account of his con duct during the last session of Parliament, and to give them an opportunity of asking any explanations they might think proper. In order to do that, however, they must allow him in the first instance t o fi n i s h hi s a dd ress, w hi c h he pro mised them would be very brief indeed. The last session was an unusually long one, having lasted . more than seven months, and the proceedings of the House of Commons were so delayed by. one cause or another that no business was proceeded with, although they sat during later hours than on former sessions, and sometimes till three and four o'clock in the morning. Little indeed was proposed for the good of the country, because the time was lost in useless talking and idle discussions. (Hear.) Very recently—indeed he might say within the last two days —a very extraordinary publication made its appearance from Mr. Bass, the member f or Derby, who has been looking into the proceedings of last session, and especially the amount of talk ing, and it turns out from his statement that up wards of 10,000 speeches were made during that period. (Hear, and a laugh.) He pointed out very particularly those made by the metropolitan mem bers, and expressed a hope, from the experience the house has had of their conduct, and the example they had set, that no more members would be given to the metropolis. Now, those gentlemen whom he named, he (Mr. Williams) had seen using their en deavours on all occasions in stopping proceedings which led to jobs, especially when any expenditure of the public money was concerned, and that, too, at a time when Mr. Bass had been long in bed. Such proceedings as these required a little talking; and with regard to himself, some of his friends around him were of opinion that he ought to talk more. (Hear, hear.) He generally confined his observations to the reckless expenditure so often indulged in, to topics which touched the pockets of the people of this country, and he could assure them that such a task required an amount of labour of which they could form no idea unless they knew what it really was. There were many thousands of items in the estimates of the expen. diture for the year, which must be looked into most minutely, and he ventured to say that not one member of the House of Commons gave himself the trouble to perform the same task. But that was nct all. The items of the year had not only to be examined minutely, but he compared them with those of the preceding 30 years and of former Governments, and asked how it was that it was now-a-days three times as much as in the days of the late Sir Robert Peel and other Ministers who governed this country. (Hear, hear.) The INlinisters had no answer to give, and endeavoured to laugh the matter off, but he (Mr. Williams) did not rest satisfied with that attempt at an explana tion. He sometimes divided against the proposed item, and would do so oftener if proper support were given him. Sometimes he could not get a seconder, and when he was so fortunate as to pro cure one he was generally supported by about 25 against two or three hundred on the part of the Government. He did, however, one good thing— he pointed out the extravagance of the estimates, and the fourth estate of the kingdom in the gallery reported it to the country, who in that manner learned how the public money was expended. The only measure of any importance pissed last session was the commercial treaty with France, which he believed would be productive of a vast amount of good, because it reduced duties on many articles necessary for both countries, and abolished others altogether. (Hear, hear.) He believed it would be productive of great good—(a cry of " No, no") — and with that conviction he gave it his cordial sup port throughout, with one exception, and that as regarded a certain portion of the silk-manufactures of this country. He voted for a postponement of that portion of the treaty, because he believed it would have a very injurious effect on his old friends in Coventry. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) He, and those who supported him, were, however, unsuc cessful, and by that means a very great pressure indeed came on that trade, which suffered a great deal in consquence. That was the most mischievous part of t!..e treaty. (Cries of "No, no.") Depu tations from almost all the trades in the kingdom went to Paris to consult with Mr. Cobden, and to give him the necessary information, all of whom, without exception, spoke of him in the highest, terms possible, as having conducted those nego tiations with the greatest ability, and advantage to his own country. (Cheers) s ) He (Mr. Williams) believed it would have a good effect in carrying out an extensive trade in this country, and the deputa tions declared they could export manufactures into France, now that certain duties were taken off and others reduced, at a very good profit indeed. (Hear.) It was a most extraordinary thing that two of the greatest and richest nations in the wot Id, with only a narrow sea between them, had for many ages carried on a commercial system which amounted almost to a positive prohibition of any trading intercourse between them. This country had of late years reduced its tariff very considerably, but France maintained its almost prohibitory system until this treaty was entered into. The next mea sure was the Reform Bill, which was almost smothered with talking, and after a long and pro tracted discussion was finally withdrawn. He and others denounced it as a sham reform, and he was justified in doing so. They must remember there were five millions of men in this country now de prived of the franchise, and to remedy that evil it was proposed to reduce the franchise in boroughs to £6, and in counties to £lO. But all sorts of objections were thrown in the way, especially as regarded lodgers, and the payment of the poor rates. It was calculated that that measure would admit only 250,000 new voters out of five millions, and yet they called it revolutionary. It was pro posed also to take one member from each of 25 rotten boroughs, having a population less than 7,000, and what did they propose to do with those seats ? Why, instead of their being returned by voters who sold themselves at an election, they were handed over to the landlords of counties to be driven like cattle to the poll. They next proposed to give addi tional.h members to Liverpool and Manchester wit a constituency of 3,000 voters less than Lambeth,_ eeds another to Birmingham with 12,000 a t nd Leeds 15,800 less than this borough. A great majority of the small boroughs sell themselves; tytilecryejetasonlBe elector in the country had the same i residents in the metropolis. obtain pro ceeded with he would have e H nd a e d a t voure justice for the constituencies of the metropolis, and oor-rate should not also that the payment of . t be necessary. In his opivneiroa▪ nP its withdrawal was get a proper bill until no loss, nor would they . . e the people of Great Britain demanded it in a manner not to be mistaken. The next measure withdrawn was the Bankruptcy Bill--a measure certainly o f great importance ; it contained 551 clauses, but it was defeated because the Attorney-General insisted on making the officers who should retire entitl e d to a pension e q ual to thei▪ r present salaries. He (Mr. Williams) submitted a motion for the purpose of abolishing flogging in the navy. He had done so for several years previously, and produced cases of the greatest tyranny and brutality. The Admi ralty promised to bring in a bill to remedy the present system, and passed it, by which the despo tic powers of captains of men-of-war were entirely done away with. In future no man in the navy can be flogged or punished unless tried by a regular court-martial, when he would have the power to defend himself. The worst part, however, of his duties, and to which he directed especial attention, was the expenditure of the country. They must remember that in the present year it amounted to 76 millions--a sum which must astonish them when they came to consider it. There were in addition three or four millions for the war with China, which now amounted to 12 millions, and they might depend upon it the cost of that war woulde.b serious, and would come out of the people's po a e r k A more uncalled for or a more unnecessarw originwaorf never commenced. They all knew th that war. Mr. Bruce went up th!opre.ihEoeriver with lgens pieced a large fleet to get the treaty s om e by the Emperor. There were ousta • in that river which the Governor wrote to say he would have removed, and yet Mr. Bruce ordered the forts to be attacked, by which a loss of 400 British soldiers was suatLined, and that loss brought en the present conflict. No doubt whatever skill and bravely could - do would be done ; hut when the war would cease no one knew. They had, as he already said, an eapen. diture of 80 millions, and to meet that they had only 70 so that there was 'add - kit of 10 millions which must be provided for in some way or other. The first cause of the expenditure was the enormous sum of 30 millions voted for the army, whereas by Wet ring Lack to the administration of the late Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Welling ton, that expense was as low as 11 millions. A great cry was raised throughout the country that they were in danger of an invasion from France, but he believed such a thing had no foundation whatever. Let them compare the strength of the French army with that of this country. It was said to be 400,000 men according to the Emperor's own state , m on t ; and what had they to meet such a force ? Why, Gen:l.al Peel —no mean authority, and who had been eleeretary at War—stated a few days ago that they had 600,000 men under arms—including 250,000 in India --and taking 200,000 British sol diers as servin g ; in th a t country and colonies—they would have 600,000 armed men in Great Britain, including of course their brave Volunteers— cheers) —of whom Colonel T u ll o h, t h e Inspector-General of that body, said they were in many instances equal to any of their regular forces. (Cheers.) lie believed the Emperor of the French never had the least idea of invading this country. (Cheers.) He knew them too well; and even if by any chance he landed a large force he knew from their character that not one of his men would ever go back. (Cheers.) The next important question was, how wer e • th ey to raise the money which was required. They had a war tax on tea and sugar, and in -addition t en . pence in the pound income tax, which w as exceedingly oppressive. It was peculiarly hard on those who had only £lOO a year, and although he used his best endeavours to keep it at £l5O a year, and divided the house, he had only 25 to support him. (Hear.) He t'aought Mr. Glad stone the ablest financier the country had ever produced. (Cries of " No, no.") Well, he (Mr. Williams) :had studied the =, history of their finances for several years, and believed he was the ablest man who had filled that high position. He repeated again, that the income tax was a great grievance, but the House of Commons would never repeal it until the country demanded it in amanner that could not be mistaken. (Hear, hear) Then, again, they had to spend 15 millions on fortifica tions, which he opposed as a useless waste of public money, but it was of no avail. They were aware that a bill for the repeal of the paper duty passed the House of Commons, and that it was rejectedby the House of Lords. Such a proceeding was un exampled, and if a determined resistance were not made to that system the evil would become intoler able. For his own part, he was determinedto give it every opposition in the next session, and if the House of Commons and the Government were honest, theyrmight laugh at them. As - regarded the freedom of Italy, he had no doubt they would all concur with the Government, and the letter of Lord John Russell was really worthy of the country he served. It almost openly countenanced the move ments of that noble-minded man, Garibaldi— (cheers)—and if the Piedmontese Government acted as it ought, they would find Italy as free as consti tutional England. (Cheers.) He thP.nked theta most cordially for their kind attendance, and for the patience with which they listened to his obser vations. Mr. GODDARD moved a vote of confidence in Mr. Williams for his past Parliamentary conduct, which, being seconded by Mr. STIFF, was carried unanimously, Mr. Webber having supported the resolution ; and thanks being returned by Mr. Williams, the proceedings terminated. THE ENGLISH CAPTIVES AT PEKIN. Mr. William Charles F. Helmuth T. de Norman, the First Attache to the Hon. Frederick Bruce's mission to China, who has been taken prisoner by the Chinese, is the only son of Baroness de Norman, and cousin of the Marquis of Northampton, Lady Marianne Alford, and Lord William Compton. Mr. de Norman was for a short period attached to the British Legation at Washington, and was after wards transferred to Berlin. For a short time he served in the 2d Royal Surrey Militia. On the declaration of war against Russia Mr. de Norman proceeded to the East, and was temporarily attached with the rank of captain, in Turkey, to the Osmanli Horse. Artillery of the Turkish Contingent; from April to December, 1857, he was attached to Lieu tenant-Colonel Sinthlons, the British Commissioner for the Turko-Persian boundary. He was after wards appointed as Attache at Constantinople, and on the appointment of the Hon. F. Bruce to his mission to China, in 1858, he was appointed First Attaché. Mr. Harry Smith Parkes.—This energetic and valuable servant of the Crown was employed under the late Sir Henry Pottinger in June, 1842, for his proficiency in the Chinese language. He acted as interpreter at Foo-chow-foo in 1845 and 1846; as interpreter at Shanghai in 1848. In the succeeding year he proceeded to Amoy in a similar capacity. In 1851 he was selected to proceed to Formosa to dis tribute rewards to the Chinese, and acquitted him self greatly to the satisfaction of his superiors. In August, 1854, he was appointed British Consul at Amoy, and the following year accompanied Sir James Bowring to Siam on that gentleman's special mission. He had the honour to bring the Siamese Treaty with this country, and to return with its ratification in January, 1856. On his re turn to Canton he was appointed (June, 1856) Consul, and in September, 1858, he was transferred to Shanghai. On the Earl of Elgin's reaching China he was selected as principal interpreter. Mr. Henry :Brougham Loch.—This gentleman, announced as one of the captives at Pekin, entered the Hon. East India Company's Bengal Cavalry in 1844, and as an aide-de-camp to Lord Gough served through the Sutlej campaign. After holding the Adjutancy of his regiment for three years, he was appointed second in command of Skinner's Horse in 1851. He returned to England early in 1854, and volunteered his services to the army in Bulgaria, to assist in organizing the Turkish Cavalry. He accompanied the army to the Crimea, and was present at the Battle of the Alma. He resigned kis commission in the East India Com pany's service and for a time was in the Cheshire Yeomanry. In April, 1857, he accompanied the Earl of Elgin on his mission to China, as First Attache, and was selected by that nobl ema n to bring home the Treaty with Japan, signed at Jeddo in August, 1858. ANOTIIER RIBBON OUTRAGE IN IRELAND. DUBLIN, MONDAY NIGHT.
