To conclude with HUE AND DYE in the way of, however minute and infinitessimal a modification, the conduct pursued thus by the leaders of the Opposition would be comprehensible, might be regarded, if not with complacency, at any rate with something like toleration. But the fact is not so—and it is not so, notoriously and within the dullest comprehension. Recognising the fact that there is not the smallest vestige of a hope left for the carrying out in this matter of the Irish Church of even the most cherished views of his party, the noble lord the member for King's Lynn, like a rational man, as be is, regards the game as already played out— abstains from voting, abstains from speaking. By doing otherwise—cui bond ? Protest, the Opposition may, against the Bill as a whole—protest against it in detail, the more zealous and earnest mouthpieces of the Conservative P*rty have done already---but op pose it clause by clause, thus in Committee, by ar guments of no avail, and by votes of no numerical importance, and the voice of the Opposition is ren d red over and over again only as obviously futile as the voice of CANUTE of old, on the sea shore—the division list of the Opposition is only as ludicrously ineffective as the besom of Mrs. PARTINGTON. As it is now, people are getting weary of the monotony of the arguments, and with the kindred sameness of the numerical results arrived at upon every successive division. FIFTY-SIX, sixty-five, one hundred and eighteen, one hundred and twenty-six. Is Mr. NEWDEGATE satisfied ? If he is not, the Government Whips will be most happy to oblige him by giving him a still sounder beating on the next occasion. Mr. DISRAELI clearly does not want anything of the sort. He deprecated a division though he voted. Lord STANLEY will have nothing more to do or say in the matter. The man who fourteen months ago was looked uport as one of the only two possible leaders of the Conservative party stays away when the Irish Church question is discusssed, and is conspicuously absent from the lobby. Who can doubt that Mr. DISRAELI would very gladly have followed his example ? As for the rest—the men who did speak and did vote— their words fell upon deaf ears, upon ears that are already wearied to death by arguments that have been answered a hundred times over. An angel from heaven would not be listened to now if he were to begin discussing the principles of the Irish Church Bill; and as neither Mr. AYTOUN nor Mr. WHALLEY, neither Mr. BOLT nor Mr. CHARLEY is precisely angelic, it is easy to imagine, the disgust with which hon. members listened to the dreary talk that for seven weary hours was inflicted so needlessly upon an irritated audience. Neverthe less, we cannot regret that Mr. NEWDEGATE insisted upon going to a division. The ever-increasing majority obtained by the Liberal party is the best of all answers to the assertions of those who declare that the question has never been fairly put before the country, and that if there were another general election its result would be very different from that of the last. If thecountry reallyhad changed its mind, it is quite certain that the constituencies would very soon acquaint their representatives with the change, and that th ese, i nstead of suppor ti n g the measure by growing majorities, would inform the Whips that urgent business unhappily rendered it necessary for them to be absent. But the country is really more than ever convinced, not only of the justice of dealing with the Irish Church, but of the excellence of Mr. GLADSTONE'S plan. If there was any doubt or hesitation before the Ministerial scheme was propounded, there is none now. All the cry about spoliation and political profligacy produces not the smallest effect upon Liberal Churchmen ; all the predictions of Papal ascendancy and the downfall of Protestantism pro duce not the smallest effect upon those very Romanising religionists, Mr. MIALL, Mr. MORLEY, and the rest of the Nonconformist M.P.'s. One other statement, frequently made both on the hustings and in Parliament, has been clearly dis proved. It has been said that Mr. G LAD sToNE's majo rity was gained by coming to an understanding with the Irish Catholics in general, and with Cardinal CULLEN in particular. The latter part of this accusation —not a serious one, even if true, but one likely to excite prejudice—Mr. GLAD STONE met by asserting that the first in formation which the heads of the Roman Catholic Church had of his bill was from the Ministerial statement in the House of Commons. The first portion of the allegation is simply a question of arithmetic. Mr. GLADSTONE'S majority is now 126 ; there are under fifty Roman Catholics in the House; take these away and there would be still a majority of about eighty ; nay) Mr. GLADSTONE could even afford to hand these over .to his opponents, and he would still have a majority twice as large as that with which Lord PALMERSTON maintained himself in power for six years and a half. The truth is that, not only C a th o li c I re l an d , b u t Presbyterian Scotland and England, both Episcopa lian and Nonconformist,are in favour of the measure, because it is an act of justice which ought to be done even though it should have the incredible conse quences which Mr. NEwnEGATE and Mr. AYTOUN predict. In fact, so clearly is this the case, that the Opposition have invented a new term by which to express their dissatisfac- tion. They speak of a " tyrant majority," and they declaim against it feelingly, for hitherto they have been accustomed only to a tyrant minority. Of the two evils the first seems to us somewhat more tolerable than the second. We suppose the majority of the country will be of the same opinion, will think it better that the many should rule the few rather than the few the many. It would be very odd if the many were of the contrary opinion. MR. BAINES did not get any very definite informa tion out of the Marquis of HARTINGTON with respect to the proposed purchase of telegraphs by the Government. There was, however, one item of intelligence conveyed by the POSTMASTER-GENERAL which will rather take the nation by surprise. He said it was intended to bring in a bill " to enable the Government, if they purchased the property of the telegraph companies, to obtain also the monopoly for the transmission of telegraphic messages." Now when this matter was under consideration last year, it was decided that the Government ought not to take any such power; for that if the Government did its work well it would naturally have the monopoly, and if it did not it ought not to have such monopoly. Clearly the Post Office must, with its large staff and perfect organisation, be,under ordinary circumstances, able to distance all private competitors ; at the same time it may so happen that some clever invention may lead to a vast improvement in telegraphic communication, and enable the inventor to beat the Government. In such a case it would clearly be to the public advantage that there should be a clear stage. The Government is, therefore, bound to give very good reasons, such as at present certainly do not suggest themselves, before they a entrusted with the powers which they seek. In the meanwhile we have to note the singular circum stance that a Liberal Government is seeking to obtain a monopoly which a Conservative Govern ment deprecated. This seems very like advancing backwards. rrz iN,c,"A r zo• V P 4 irrit VI , 1 7 iql r • HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, April 16.

The select committee of the House of Commons appointed to consider the general question of municipal and parliamentary elections, met again on Friday ; the Marquis of Hartington in the chair. The first witness called was Mr.Trippear, a surgeon-dentist of Liverpool,who said that he was secretary of the Liberal Association, St. Ann's Ward. In that ward about 20 per cent. of the electors were open to bribes. These would take bribes on either side of politics. Bribery was much on the increase. Those who used to be content with ss. for their votes now required £l. In 1865 as much as £l5 had been paid for a vote. Since that time the Liberal Association had determined to have nothing to do with any electors who required to be paid for their votes. The wit ness produced a number of statistics in reference to the last municipal election, to prove that the issue was ob tained through the medium of bribery. Up to 1865 money was paid by both sides of politics. At the last election some voters were known to have received a sovereign. All the contests in Liverpool were mixed up with politics. It was a common subject of conversation in St. Ann's Ward that cottage property there was at a premium, owing to the fact that it enabled its owners to affect the elections. At the last election in that ward, £57 was spent in legitimate expenses. In 1865 the successful candi date said it cost him £l,OOO. The municipal contests had great effect upon the parliamentary elections in Liverpool. The money paid for votes in the former went to make the parties right in the latter. He thought that those who could be bribed for municipal elections could also be bribed for parliamentary elections, but did not think that there was much bribery at the latter. The witness was strongly of opinion that the Ballot was the only means by which the evil could be cured GLOBE THEATRE-ROYAL. TIB VVENTNa, at 7. MINNIE, or. Leonard's Love. At 9, A BREACH OF PROMISE.

Clause Number Two—dissolving the Legislative Union between the Churches of England and Ire land--is affirmed or approved in a house of 565 ; for the clause, 344, against it 221—otherwise, 123 as the last of these great majorities on the side of the Government. The result is certainly a bad augury for Mr. DISRAELI'S long string of amend ments. The tug of war comes on the very first of them, with a back fall at the close of it, thus disastrous and overwhelming. Ex uno—we all know the rest. Is it worth while—to no end whatever—frittering away, thus, the time of the Legislature ? Are there to be divisions upon all the amendments, one after another—with a dead certainty beforehand of pre cisely these tediously iterated results ? Last session, during the old Parliament, the clear majority sup porting Mr. GLADSTONE in his Irish Church policy wavered between Sixty and Seventy. This session, in the new Parliament, it wavers between 120 and 130. The monotony of the thing is becoming tedi ous. What is possibly to be gained by a persistence in this course, it is difficult to conjecture. The pro gress made is like that of a raw recruit on a greased pavement, marking time, at the goose-step. It is worse than simply ridiculous. It is outraging one's common sense, merely to watch it. Whatever may be said in support of these amendments, as was in stanced only last evening in regard to the first on the long list, it all comes to the same thing in the end the whips are plied sharply on both sides, on the side of the Government, and on the side of the Opposition, with a clear ma jority to the former, to be expressed only in three , figures. Mrs DISRAELI was as heartily in earnest as he could be yesterday—but all to no atail. Prefac ing his speech just before the division with the ac knowledgment or declaration that the Prime Minister had accurately described his intention as springing out of an earnest wish to level a mortal blow at the Bill, the Leader of the Opposition shrank not from asserting— " If I could devise any plan to defeat a measure which the thought of every day the more convinces me is the most pernicious measure that has ever been introduced in my time into this House, I certainly should not shrink frcm any fair attempt to accomplish that end." But— is this a fair attempt ? This hopeliss dividing of the House over and over again, without the slightest chance of turning the tables against the Government? the ether night the majority on the side of Ministers was one of 126. Last night it was a majority of 123. Are we tv look on complacently, and without a murmur of impatience, while the changes are being rung on those numerals, through a long series of amendments, designed apparently only to delay and obstruct the course of legis lation ? If there were anything to be gained by it THE ALBERT MEDAL The Queen has been graciously pleased to confer the decoration of "The Albert Medal of the Second Class" on Mr. James Crowden, chief officer, second class, of the coastguard station at Muchals. The following is an account of the services in respect of which the decoration has been conferred :—The schooner Kinloss was wrecked at Scatraw Creek, a mile and a half from Muchals, on the 21st of December, 18G8. Mr. James Crow den, the chief officer at Muchals Station, pro ceeded with his boat's crew to Scatraw, and found the ship breaking up fast. The fishermen of the place had succeeded in getting a rope from the vessel, by which it was hoped that the lives of those on board would be saved. Mr. Crowden ventured out on to a rocky point and endeavoured to fasten a life-belt to the rope in order to send it out to the ship, but without success. While striving to perform this operation, Mr. Crowden was several times washed off into the sea. Once a heavy sea swept him off and carried him about one hundred yards towards the wreck, and it was thought that he was lost ; but, after struggling for a few minutes, he was carried round a point by a violent run of the sea, and thrown upon the rocks with such violence, how ever, that he became insensible and received a severe contusion on the left knee. When he recovered his senses Mr. Crowden succeeded in getting a coble launched, and was the first to jump into it. He and his men (four in number) hauled off to the ship by the rope, and succeeded in taking four men from the mast and bringing them ashore. On being informed that there was still another man on board, Mr. Crowden and his crew hauled off again to the wreck ; but the man was dead or dying, and in such a position that it was impossible to extricate him. A very heavy sea was running at the time of the rescue, and the coble might have been dashed upon the rocks at any moment. Mr. Crowden was fourteen days upon the sick list in consequence of the injuries he received in being washed off and dashed against the rocks This is the fourth time that Mr. Crowden has been instrumental in saving life from shipwreck, and, including the present instance, he has aided in the rescue of thirteen lives. A board of arbitration and conciliation has been established in the Sheffield file trade. Elizabeth Cady Stanton Writes thus of the Women's Rights' prospect twenty years hence :—" Twenty years ! Why, I expect to be walking the golden streets of the New Jerusalem by that time, talking with Noah, Moses, and Aaron about the flood, the Pharaohs, the journey through the Red Sea and the Wilderness: We shall he holding conventions by that time on the banks of the Jor. dan, with Eve, Sarah, Rebecca, Huldah, Debora, Miriam, Ruth, Naomi, Sheba, Esther, Vashti, Mary, Elizabeth, Priscilla and Phoebe, Tryphena and Tryphosa, and all the strong-minded women honourably mentioned in sacred history. Do you not know that I have vowed never to go disfranchised into the Kingdom of Heaven? In the meantime, I propose to discuss sanitary and sumptuary laws, finance and free trade, religion and railroads, educa tion and elections in the councils of the American Republic. Twenty years ! Why, every white male in the nation will be tied to an apron string by that time, while all the poets and philosophers will be writing essays on `The Sphere of Man.'" THE BALLOON VOYAGE ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.- Mons. A. Chevalier, the distinguished aeronaut, who lately arrived in this city for the purpose of making a balloon voyage hence to Europe, has leased Landmann's Park, Sixty•seVenth-street and Third-avenue, where he will make several ascents during the next two months, prior to his final departure on his great Transatlantic voyage, which will he on the 31st of July. More than 100 applications have been received by M. Chevalier from persons desirous to accompany him on his perilous trip. The price fixed for the passage is 250 dollars, and not all who offer themselves at that price will be accepted by the Professor as compugnone du voyage, as he wishes to take with him only such persons as are capable, through mental and physical qualifications, of assisting him in his scien tific observations, for the sake of which, chiefly, the daring project is undertaken.—Ncw York Tribune. TESTIMONIAL TO THE RIGHT HON. W. COWPER, M.P.—On Thursday evening a large gathering of the ormer constituents of the Right Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., met that gentleman at the Shire Hall, Hertford, for the purpose of presenting him with a testimonial, which had been subscribed for by about 300 Hertfordshire men of both parties. The testmonial was accompanied by an ad dress written on vellum, and consisted of a ye se, two class jugs, and four silver-gilt goblets. The testimonial was presented by Mr. Jasper Gripper, one of the oldest of Mr. Cowper's s u pp or t ers . Amcngst those present were Earl Cowper, H on . Henry Cowper, M.P., the Ladies Cowper, most of the principal inhabitants of the town, and a large number of working men. Mr. Cowper, in acknowledging the testimonial, expressed deep regret at severing a connection which had lasted for thirty-four years, during which almost every political object for which the Liberal party had fought had been attained. The hon. gentleman also expressed the pleasure he felt at the testimonial being deprived of a party character by the way in which the Conservatives had united in sup porting it. THE CHILD OF THE THEATRE. —An odd incident (says the Orchestra) occurred in the green-room at Niblo's (New York) the other evening, when one of the corps de ballet brought in a new-born female child, which she had found in a dust-cart, where it had been deposited, it is to be presumed, by its disconsolate parents. Lively sympathy was excited in behalf of the miserable little outcast, for whom " a benefit " was started on the spot, resulting in the collection of a sum of money, which was given to the girl who had discovered the bantling. It was further proposed, that as the ceremony of baptism had probably not been solemnised on the occasion of committing the infant " to the dust," that a name should be conferred upon it. The proposal was hailed with acclamation, and carried out in irreverent fashion. Mr. Jarrett, Mr. Palmer, and Mr. Henderson stood godfathers, Miss Lydia Thompson god mother, and Mr. Beckett officiated as a sort of lay priest. The foundling received the imposing four-act appellation of Lydia Palmer Henderson Jarrett. The scene was ren dered all the more incongruous from the fact that every. body, with the exception of the managers, was dressed in the costume of the extravaganza ; and the entire ceremony reminded one forcibly of the dress rehearsal of a sensation melodrama. LIFE PEERAGES. — EarI Russell's bill for enabling peers created for life, under certain limitations and restric ' tlone, to sit and vote in the House of Lord s , i s p u bli s h ed. The restrictions are that not more than twenty-eight such peerages created with such power shall be in exist. ence at any one time; that not more than four shall be created in any one year; that the persons so created shall be selected from the following classes (the class to be specified in the patent of creation), viz. : —l. Peers of Scotland or Ireland. 2. Persons who have been mem bers of the House of Commons upwards of ten years. 3. Officers of the army and navy eminent for distin guished services.. 4. Persons who have held the otfices of Lord Chancellor, Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench and Common Picas, Lord Chief Baron, and Lord Justice General in Scotland, or who shall have held for two years and have ceased to lipid any of the following offices, viz., Puisne, Chancery, Court of Probate and Divorce, and Admiralty judgeships ; the office of Attorney- General for England or Ireland, of Lord Advocate of Scotland, and of Queen's Advocate General for England. 5. Persons distinguished for their attainments in science, literature, or art. 6. Persons who shall have performed services to the Crown in any public office for a term of not less than five years with ability and fidelity entitling them to some mark of special favour. Of course it is not proposed to interfere with the prerogatiteof the Crown to (ago rodifor lift... BREAK DOWN OF WILD OATS. Some very sinister symptoms presented tnemsetves lg the betting on Wednesday night. Determined hostility set in against Wild Oats, the chief favourite for th• Two Thousand. He went further and further back, and the next day still retreated, until he saw 100 to 8 for the Guineas, and almost any price for the Derby. On Thursday morning he was gene rally looked upon as " done for" in respect of both races, and offers of 4 to 1 against his seeing the post for the Two Thousand Guineas failed to find a single response. In the afternoon the worst fears of his backers were con firmed. In the course of the day the following notice was posted at Newmarket :—" Wild Oats.—This horse's leg having filled, it is, in the opinion of his trainer, almost impossible to bring him to the post fur the Two Thousand Guineas. The Duke of Hamilton being abroad, and not having given me any authority, I can can take no further step until I receive his instructions.—(Signed) NEWCASTLE." So ends another favourite. No complaint can in this case be made against the fieldsmen. Their operations were legitimate, and, indeed, some bookmakers had thought the horse safe to win, and had backed him accordingly. The transac tion, however, must be laid to the debit of account of someone ; and public opinion is generally directed against an individual who figured more prominently than credi tably last year in certain shady practices. It is not a little curious that both the Earl and Wild Oats were " settled," whilst their owners were absent on the Continent. "Hot spur," in the Te eyra ph, writing on Thursday, says : "It is well known that the 'noble Duke' is abroad cruising in genial climates with ' Youth at the prow' and perhaps Pleasure at the helm,' and in his absence his horses have been ' managed' by the celebrated `Spider' who so pre-eminently distinguished himself by his manage ment of two horses called The Earl and Lady Elizabeth. For some weeks Wild Oats has been under suspicion for the Two Thousand." It soon became clear that he could not be prepared for his engagements. The public statements of the chief supporters of the Heath House establishment are to the effect that the trainer dare not give " the Oats " another gallop ; but, in the absence of the Duke of Hamilton beyond reach of either telegram or letter, they have no power to scratch him. His absence from both the Two Thousand and the Derby maybe looked upon, however, as a foregone conclusion.' The absence of Wild Oats and, probably, Belladrum leaves the Two Thousand a very uninteresting affair. The Duke of Beaufort. rises to the first place, 9 to 2 being taken so freely that 4 to 1 was the best offer on Thursday. Pretender and Belladrum were only nomi nally at 11 to 2 and 6 to 1 respectively. At 8 to 1 the Drummer was in some force; and Tasman, after having been backed at 100 to 6, advanced to 100 to 8. For the Chester Cup the zEgean was in strong demand, at first at 8 to 1 and afterwards at 7 to 1. For the Derby Belladrum was hacked at 40 to 1 and 100 to 3 several times, and 100 to 8 was booked about him for a situation. About 400 to 10 had been taken about Tasman, 25 to 1 became the highest offer. Pero Gomez has been quiet. At the annual meeting of the Jockey Club, it was re. solved that Rule of Racing No. 40 be repealed, and the following substituted: "In all handicaps when the highest weight accepting is under Bst. 121 b., it shall be raised to that weight, and the others in proportion." The Duke of Hamilton was proposed as a member, and suffered the indignity of being blackballed. THE NORWICH MURDER. A correspondent, writing from Norwich yesterday (Friday) morning, says :—" The authorities persist in keeping the second confession, made by Sheward, private until his execution, but it is understood that the convict goes into fuller details than have yet transpired as to the mode in which he murdered his victim and disposed of her remains. Among the statements current in Norwich on Thursday night was one that Sheward admits having boiled the head of the murdered woman, and having afterwards disposed of the boiled matter, piecemeal, about Norwich. Whether the story is correct or not remains to be seen, but the head of the murdered woman was never discovered, so that the tale has, at any rate, a semblance of probability about it. Sheward's second confession is understood to have been made in the presence of the gaoler, the chaplain (the Rev. It. Wade), and one of the magistrates of Norwich. It was made when the prisoner was calm, and apparently in full possession of his senses ; and it was taken down, and signed by him. Mr. Johnson, the magistrate referred to, proceedn to London after• wards, and had an interview with the Home Secretary on the subject. Mr. Johnson returned to Norwich last night, and was met at the railway station by the chap. lain ; but both Mr. Johnson and the rev. gentleman would only admit in answer to inquiries the general and already known facts of the prisoner's confession—that is his second confession." MURDER, OF A FAMILY. The Nov York Tribune publishes the details of a tragedy which has just occurred at Philadelphia. For about a year past Mr. James L. Blackstone, gilder, has resided at No. 815, Judson-street. His family consisted of his wife, Isabella E. Blackstone, and two children, one a boy, named Lee, aged 8 years, and the other a girl, named Catherine, aged between 3 and 4 years. On the 30th ult., a gentleman, named Funston, received a telegraph, despatch reading as follows :—" Madison, Conn., March 30, 1869.—Have received a letter from James that wife and children are killed. Telegraph answer immediately. SELAH LEE." Mr. Funston, with a friend, started for the house of Mr. Blackstone. He found the doors securely fastened and the windows closed. He then went to a police-station and returned with a police man, who entered the house with him, when they dis covered the bodies of Mrs. Blackstone and her two little girls. The mother had apparently been felled to the floor by a blow from an axe while kindling a fire in the kitchen, before breakfast, last Monday morning. The murderer struck her twice with the sharp edge of the axe. The children, it is supposed, were upstairs while their mother was butchered, and were carried down one at a time. The murderer tried to evade a too hasty dis covery. The current of blood was running towards the kitchen door. Fearful that it might course through under the door, he rolled up a white tablecloth and laid it across the floor, so that the blood tide would be stopped. Then, going to the sink, he took a small rag, and, with the aid of water, cleansed his hands of their stains. He left the scene of his fiendish butchery, and passed out of the front door, which he closed, and walked down the street. Stepping on the edge of the wharf, before a band could he given to his rescue, he plunged into the water and was drowned. It is believed that the sole cause of the murder was insanity. He was tem perate, moral, and a strict Church member. A REPRIEVE.—it is said that James Macdonald, who is lying under sentence of death at Chester, for Ur murder of James Nalley, has been reprieved. Her Majesty has promised to depute one of the Royal Family to lay the corner-stone of a new parish church at Ryde, if arrangements can be made for the sere• mony to take place during the residence of her Majesty in the Isle of Wight. An American editor closes his leader in this unhappy strain :—" The sheriff's officer is waiting for us in the other room, so we have no opportunity to be pathetic ; we are wanted, and must go. Delinquent sub scribers—you have much to answer for. Heaven may forgive you, but we never can." At the Birmingham borough sessions on Thursday Charles and Alfred Warren, jewellers, were found guilty of forging the die of the Guardians of Wrought Plate in Bir mingham. The prisoners had been in business for a num ber of years, latterly in Caroline -street. They were sen tenced to 18 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. The Tablet regrets to say that Mgr. Talbot'l malady has taken so violent and aggravated a form that it has been found necessary to place him under treatment at Pesaro. He was visited a few days ago by one of the Pre lates near the Pope's person, and he found him somewhat improved. The Judge of the Sheffield County Court gave judgment on Thursday in the case of Mr. Plimsoll, M.P. and his coachman. The latter claimed £4 Hs. for wrongful dismissal, and Mr. Plimsoll pleaded that the coachman bad treated him with rudeness in the public streets when he told him not to drive so fast. As the plai►►tiff had put himself in the way by refusing to obey the older of his master, judgment would be for the defendant, bat each party must pay his own costs. QUARRELS OF PARIS JOURNALISTS. — Some time ago M. Emile de Girardin, of the Paris Liberte, killed M. Armand Carrel, another journalist, in a duel, and has never fought since, though repeatedly challenged. A violent quarrel is now raging between the Liberte and the Si eicb M. A natole de la, Forge, of the latter paper, asks I .NT. de Girardin whether he intends always to shelter him self behind the pretext of Armand Carrel's death, in order never to give satisfaction sword in hand to honest men insulted in his journal. M. de laForge thinks he has a right to claim satisfaction. M. de Girardin replies in a manner which will place the laughers on his side. He says he cannot see that bullet and sword prove anything, but he proposes to meet his adversary with pen, ink, and paper, and seconds who will decide who gets the worst of the battle. Such is the proverbial facility with which M. Emile de Girardin pours forth ream after ream that it is very unlikely the challenge will be accepted. In the LiberU of Thursday evening no less than fiY9 article g; -,sonsit.Zlp4o ciegardin;'. 1?
