The reforms submitted to the Senate have met with a highly-favourable reception. The Constitutionnel is in raptures, and accepts the liberal tone of M. Rouher's speech to the Senate as an indication that a new period, glorious and prosperous, has been entered upon by Imperial France. Lc Temps thinks that the reforms have well-nigh suppressed the institutions of 1852 altogether, and that personal government has abdicated, however skilfully it may endeavour to hide its retreat. Why did not this abdication take 'place earlier ? asks the Temps. If the Chamber of Deputies bad been able at certain decisive moments to express faithfully the popular sentiments, most disastrous errors might have been avoided. The Mexican expedition would never have been undertaken or would have been speedily closed. The events of 1866 might have been different. Prussia would, not have been encouraged to enlarge her boundaries; mili tary reorganisation would rot have been necessary, and France would have been less burdened and more satisfied. Bstter late than never, but the experience has been bought dear. Emile de Girardin, in the Literitc, asks whether the great crisis is to result in the transformation or the destruction ofthe Empire. The Empire will be inevitably overturned unless it be resolutely liberal. This is the only alternative, and the Empire of 1852 should either have remained entrenched behind the Constitution of 1852 as an impregnable fortress, or it should seize the first opportunity for an amnesty. It should renounce altogether the proceedings against the press, and those arbitrary imprisonments which revolt the public conscience and excite popular hostility. No Government, says M. de Girardin, can long withstand press prosecutions; they are so many mortal wounds which it gives itself. The journalists who are condemned to fines and imprisonment have but one idea—to undermine and to overthrow it. The town of Chateau-Thierry has bought the house in which La Fontaine, of the "Fables," was born and lived. The house still preserves the characteristics of the six• teenth century, and it is intended to be the receptacle of the public library, and of a new museum. Paris has less veneration for the abodes of her great men. The house in which Pierre Corneille died is to be sacrificed to the exigencies of architectural improvements. The Emperor will take advantage of the occasion pre• sented by the approaching Fête Napoßon to annoance a considerable promotion in the army. There are at present but four vacancies in the first division of major•generais, two in the generals of division, and two among those of the brigade, but it is confidently asserted that six generals of brigade will be promoted to be generals of division, and that ten colonels at least will become generals of brigade. In order to affect a larger promotion, it is proposed to anticipate the retirement of some generals to the reserve forces, which would in the ordinary course have taken place in September. It is also affirmed that the Emperor is anxious to have a complete reorganisation of the National Guard, and that the matter will be taken up as soon as Marshal Niel has recovered. _ _ _ A fire broke out the other evening in four stacks of bay in the Bois de I3oulogne. It was found impossible to save the property. The flames which spread around on the ground had to be constantly beaten out with branches of wood steeped in water, to prevent them spreading to the plantations. The disaster, which is attributed to sponta neous combustion, causes a loss of about 10,000 f. Messrs. Taillefer and Pic have appealed against their sentences, passed by the Court of Assize.—The Sixth Chamber have reversed the decision of the Correctional Police concerning the editors of the Lanterne, believing that the charges against them were not sufficiently proved. The case is not yet settled, for the official prosecutor has appealed against the judgment of the Chamber. The responsible editor of the Bappcl has been con demned to two months' imprisonment and a fine of 3,000 francs, and another editor of the same journal is to have three months' imprisonment and pay a sum of £l2O for pub lishing statements to bring the Government into contempt. A significant announcement is made respecting the movements of the Emperor Napoleon. It is said that he will not go far from St. Cloud this autumn. He will pay a visit of a few days' duration to the camp at Chalons, but he will neither go to Biarritz nor to Vichy. A con tradiction is given to the rumour that the Empress intends during her visit to the East to support the demands of the Roman Catholics with regard to the Holy Sepulchre. } An address is circulated at Lemberg (Galicia), and is already covered with numerous signatures, demanding the expinsion from that town of the Jesuits and of the Dames du Sacr6-Coeur. LAW 11V TEL LIGENCE.— (This Day). DIVORCE COURT The case of " Vivian v. Vivian and the Marquis of Waterford," came before Lord Penzance to-day, The pe titioner in the case is the ion. John Cranch Walker Vivian, M.P. for the borough of Truro, who sues for a divorce from his wife, Florence Grosvenor Vivian, on the ground of her adultery with John Henry De la Poer Beresford, Baron Tyrone, Marquess of Waterford, of Curraghmore, in the county of Waterford in Ireland, the co-respondent. The respondent answered, denying the adultery, as did also the co-respondent. The parties were married in Juno, 1861, and after the marriage they chiefly resided at Lowndes-street, Belgrave square. There are three children the issue of the mar riage. The first suspicion the petitioner had of an im proper intimacy between his wife and the co-respondent was from two letters, one from the wife to the marquess, and another from the latter in reply. That was in March last. Soon after that the respondent eloped with the marquess, and proceeded with him to Paris, where they put up at the Hotel Westminster. They were found there by the petitioner's friends, to whom the respondent confessed that she had slept with the mar quess the night before They were stated to be still living there. The case was proceeding when we went to press. INTERNATION.4L BOAT RACE. PUTNEY, Two o'clock. The Harvard crow have been out this morning, and wont as far as Chiswick and back, exhibiting better form than they have yet shown. They go out again at about six o'clock. The Oxford coxswain was down this morning, and there is a rumour that the Oxonians will arrive to-day at Putney; this, however, is not likely, as they have only been at Pangbourne few drys. PUBLIC SURVEYS. --Congress has tipprepriatea for public surveys the ensuing year, in California, $50,u00 ; in Arizona, $5,000 ; and limited the rates pet mile for running standards to $l5, for township and sec tion lines, to $lO per mile. The Commissioner directs the Surveyor-General to expend a reasonable share of the appropriation in California in surveying lands along the route of the Central Pacific Rail road, in mineral regions, and in other localities where the public interest may bo subserved. in Nevada, along the Pacific Railroad (Humboldt and Lander coun ties), 230,400 acres, watered by the Humboldt River, and now easily accessible, have recently been reported by the Virginia City office as surveyed. in Oregon a tide of emigration is flowing southwards, and the Sentinel calls for the survey of the Goose Lake country.-111ining and Scientific Press.

Such, says the Time; must needs be the conclusion many persons will feel tempted to come to upon reading the account of such catastrophes as the one of which the Schreckhorn was lately the scene. There is suicide in the London fog, some people think, in November; and, possibly, the same instinct of self-destruction may be lurking in the pure au of the upper Alps at Midsummer: The Alps must have their yearly complement cf victims. The thrift and enter- Prise of the Swiss have arranged their mountain region into so easy and open and everywhere accessible a show that it has become almost impossible to associate the idea of enjoyment with that of risk. There is no more peril in a three months' tour in Switzerland than in a canter in Rotten-row. But there are men to whom the chance of a broken neck is a supreme bliss ; who live danger as virtue ought to be loved-- for its own sake, and against whose rashness it is as difficult to provide as against the morbid gloom that snakes others seek in a razor, a rope, or a pinto: refuge from the weariness of life, whether that life be the most valnsble or the most utterly worthless. Men of real pluck and enterprise, in fact, already hold Alpine climbing in sovereign contempt. The run this year is no longer to Switzerland or the Tyrol. As you walk in the Strand, or as you lounge in your club, you hear of fellows rendezvousing in the Caucasus. That h the ground to try a man's mettle; with paths so steep that by the side of them the Gemini is only a garden avenue ; with peaks that " remind us of two Matterhorn:, one piled up o-a the other." If we bear of a luckless slip or of an awkward stumble on those great heavenward stairs, we shall at least console ourselves with the notion that there is some virgin ground to break through, some of Nature's darkest mysteries to dive into ; but to throw away one's life on the mountains of the Oberland or of the Pennine West, to climb one familiar top after another, only to end by leaving one's bones at the foot of the last of them—Cui bond?

Sydney Turner comes before us with his twelfth annual report as the inspector of certified reformatories and industrial schools. He shews that in the case of reformitory schools seven out of every ten of those who pass through them do well, and only two out of the ten relapse, while the remaining one may be idle and unsteady, but is not actually criminal. In the Northamptonshire school the proportion of good results is as high as 96 per cent. ; that is to say, nearly all the boys are rescued from a life of crime. Comparing ! the present occupants of our reformatories with those of 1858, it appears there is a great decrease in the number of previous convictions. Hence the managers of these insti tutions have a much less hardened and depraved class to deal with than formerly, and Mr. Turner argues that a higher standard of success ought to shew itself. On the other hand, it is a matter for regret that in as many as 78 cases during the past year the young offender had been allowed to go on in his course of crime until he had been convicted three times or more. Two of these youngsters had actually been imprisoned ten times. It was rather late to think of the reformatory, and hardly fair to test its curative power at so advanced a stage of the disease. Mischief may also be expected to result from associating these Artful Dodgers with lads of comparative inno cence. The first Industrial School Act was passed in 1E57, and the entire number of children committed to such schcols since that date is 9,231. Of this total about two-thirds have been satis factorily disposed of, by being placed in employment, sent to sea, or enabled to emigrate or enlist. The number of inmates under detention at the close of last year was 5,738, being an incrcr se of 2,562 as compared with 1867. Of the 2,488 admitted during the year, 99 were illegiti mate, ::22 1 ad lost Loth pr.rents, 1,000 lost either father or mother, 287 Lad been v.holly deserted, and 95 had one or loth parents destitute or criminal. Only one third of the whole number had both parents living, and able to take care of them. What a mass of youthful misery have we in these figures, and how c l ear l y do they indicate the connection between a neglected juvenile population and the growth of crime ! The Post thinks that Mr. Fawcett exercised a sounc discretion in withdrawing on Tuesday night his motion on the subject of Trinity College, Dublin, after having elicited the views of the Irish Secretary on the part of the Government, and of Dr. Ball ou behalf of the University. The time was certainly not opportune for pressing such a motion to a division, and the member for Brighton may rest satisfied with the assurance of Dr. Ball that he has succeeded in disarming that animosity on the part of the University which his prop( sale last year excited. To be a truly National University, as Trinity College ought to be, it is cei tahly indispensable that the proposed change should be made. The Presbyterians of the North and the Roman Catholics of the South have in this matter the same cause for complaint. The Protestantism of Trinity College has hitherto been pure Anglicanism. With the disappearance of Anglicanism, as such, throughout the country, that of the nniversity must equally vanish. The only point really in issue is the period when the change should not only be made in theory, but come into practical operation. At present the Anglicans, as we may term them, are in exclusive possession of everything. Some time must necessarily elapse before vacancies will occur to admit of the introduction of the Nonconformist element. It has 1 een suggested, therefore, that forthwith two fellowships should be created and conferred—the one on a Presbyterian, the other on a Roman Catholic. This, however, and other matters of detail are of but little importance. The fact—on the significance of which it is needless to dwell—to whicb we now direct attention is, that the Fellows of Trinity College have virtually antici pated the blow which awaited them, and have declared their readiness to admit Nonconformists to a share in the government of that university. The Daily News observes that it is not uncommon for Ministers of State to dismiss a deputation with a few vague and polite phrases. This is not Mr. Lowe's plan. He never seems to be mere thoroughly at borne than when receiving a deputation at the Treasury, and giving its members a piece of his mind. Thus it fared with a depu tation which waited on him last Monday, with a request for aid in maintaining Epping Forest for the use of the people, by preserving it ' against encroachment from the Lord of the Manor. The deputation invoked Mr. Lowe's assistance, urging that he might so employ the rights of the Crown as to support the copyholders against the Lord of the Manor's alleged aggressions. To this Mr. Lowe replied that in his opinion the forestal rights of the Crown were relics of feudalism, that in any case he should hesitate to assert and enforce them, and that in this particular case they could not legitimately be applied in the way desired. Yet it is long since the Crown acted on the letter of its rights ; and a Minister of the Crown now tells a deputa tion that those rights are " obsolete and feudal, " very harsh and tyrannical." For giving expression to those sentiments the thanks of every Liberal are due to Mr. Lowe. On the other hand, the deputation failed to per ceive the consistency of letting the Lord of the Manor serve his own ends through the medium of the same law which Mr. Lowe had stigmatised in strong language. This state of things is clearly intolerable. A remedy for the mischief must be found ;- and that must be sought, not at the hands of a Minister, but from the Legislature. Meantime, Mr. Lowe might strain a point for the public benefit. Till legislation shall have redressed a wrong perpetrated in the name of right, the powers of the Crown would be fitly ex ercised when employed provisionally to hinder Epping Forest from being ultimately filched from the dwellers a' the East-end of London. The Herald comments upon the report of the Election Committee, and especially on the recommendations of the Conservative members. Mr. Hunt's proposal sug gested some expedients by which a modified system o' ballot might be established, having in view the object just set forth. The purpose of this, of course, would be to obviate the frantic struggle for votes at the close of a closely-contested election, a struggle which Fs more productive of bribery than any other cause. Another recommendation by Mr. Hardy, to the effect that there is no proper machinery in existence at present for enabling persons who suffer from the depredations of an election mob to obtain compensation, and that the law ought to be amended in this respect, is even less likely to enlist the sympathies of Democratic par tisans than Mr. Hunt's resolution. From the efforts of the Conservative party alone can t we hope for any real amelioration of existing electoral evils. All parties alike will agree, so far as words go, in desiring a system of things under which every voter in the king dom should be free to recoil his vote without being influenced by fear of any kind, without being any more restrained from giving effect to his opinions by hisses in the crowd than by frowns from his landlord or employer. But the radicals know full well that they would lose thousands of voters on every side under such a system. The Prince of Wales has ',resented to the Exete: Museum a mummy and coffin discovered during the progress of sr me excavations recently made in Egypt, by command of his Royal Highness, with the sanction of the Viceroy of E3ypt.

THE NOTTINGHAM ELEOTION. The report of the judge appointed to inquire into the alleged intimidation at the recent election at Nottingham, reporting that Mr. H. Seely was duly elected, was pre sented. HABITUAL CRIMINALS BILL. Mr. BRUCE moved that the house go into committee on this bill, the object of which was to endeavour to deter if possible habitual criminals from crime, and to remedy a state of things that called loudly for some change. The bill amongst other provisions gave the power of surveillance of the police, an arrangement that he thought would even tually be attended with:good results to society. Tho bon gentleman then went into a variety of statistics to show the necessity of the bill, which he said ho hoped the house would agree to pass through committee, as it was very desirable it should become law during the present session. Sir C. ADDERLEY moved that the bill be referred to a select committee, for the purpose of substituting a dis charged prisoners' aid society throughout the kingdom to which the supervision of the discharged criminals might be entrusted instead of the police; of adding provisions for the infliction of corporal punishment during imprison ment for brutal assaults on policemen and others ; and for carrying out the objects of the bill in punishing for habitual disorderly conduct and drunkenness. He would at once say that the object he had in view by the motion he had put on the paper was to endeavour to get some of the too stringent penalties of the bill modified. He thought it would be most advisable to take the super vision of criminals out of prison out of the hands of the police. The result of which was that criminals discharged were looked upon by the police as their prey, and instead of assisting the discharged prisoners in obtaining employ ment, the very reverse was the desire of the police, who lost no opportunity of showing their activity by dragging the unfortunates back to prison. It was said that the bill would work well, but he could not believe that punishment and education ever could work well together, because the first was medicine and the latter food. Ile objected very strongly to the provisions of the bill that rendered a man convicted of two small felonies subject to the surveillance of the police for seven years, during which period the unfortunate creature would not be free from the visits of the police either night or day, however desirous he might be of getting his living honestly. That he thought was not the way to bring about a reformation. Then, again, it was set out, on the part of the bill, that a third convic tion left the judge no alternative but to inflict seven years' good. H© and Ho could not see that there could be any objection to tplei p at enal servitude. wou T d r h o o d s u e c a e ct e s vi h l e ri t t li th o e u r gi t i h t a too n the motion he made, because those guilty of brutal assaults either of the po!ice or women, ought to be punished with the utmost severity. Mr. G. HARD): thought it was desirable that the house should go into counnitte3 on the bill, which he thought could be made a measure of the most efficient description. [ - LEFT SITTING.
