" This work is the 'production of a surgeon whose special attention has been difected, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

For tpis reason you never know in 'England the violation of the citizen's home which is so common in France, under the name of domiciliary visits.

Nothing can. be better said, or more concivsive in its condemnation of the system. We have only now to trust that the hopes excited by the elaborate article in the Constitutionnel will not be baffled, and that it is but the precursor of further relaxations quite as desirable as that in passports.

THE INTER-OCEANIC RAIL WA T' A deputation of the Honduras Inter• Oceanic Railway Company had the honour of being received on Saturday at the Palace of the Tuileries by the Emperor. The' deputation consisted of Mr. F. Moulton, of Paris; Mr. Joseph Robinson, of Lon don ; Dr. Holland, M.D., New York, Physician to the Surveying Expedition; and Mr. Robert Romp. Moore, Secretary to the Company. The deputation was introduced by Senor Herran, Minister Pleni potentiary for the States of Honduras and San Sal vador. The interview lasted over forty minutes. The spokesman of the deputation stated that vari ous routes had been from time to time projected, and in 1854 the Panama Railway had been opened. Over this line there passed a large and increasing traffic. It carried about 80,000 passengers and £16,000,000 sterling of treasure per annum, besides a large quantity of French and English light goods. Since the date of the opening of the Panama road it had paid in dividend 12 per cent. per annum upon its capital. Last year its surplus, after dividend, exceeded £190,000, and its sinking and reserve fund amounted to £242,000. In one day in De cember, 1859, 2,300 passengers were carried over the line at £5 per head. The search for a more favourable route has led to the discovery of that across the State cf Honduras. This route has been carefully surveyed under English direction, and the survey has been reviewed by LieutenaNt- Colonel Stanton, RE., an officer appointed by her Majesty's Government for that purpose. The sur vey has established the following facts :—That Port Cortez, on the Atlantic (lat. 15.49 N.), and Fonsica, on the Pacific (lat; 13.21 N.), are both first-class harbours; that across Honduras is a perfectly practicable route for a railway of 220 miles iu length to connect those harbours. Mr. Frantwine, the superintending engineer, reports that the result of the survey is the establish ment of the interesting and important fact, that there exists through Honduras a perfectly feasible route for a railway, with natural harbours at its ocean termini, the existence of which must be regarded as a controlling feature in an enterprise like that proposed, and which derives peculiar im portance from the fact that throughout the entire extent of Central America there occurs no similar instance in combination with a route so favourable as that developed in the survey. Colonel Stanton reports that the harbours are unexceptionable, and that the road can be constructed without any sharper curves or heavier grades than are to be found on existing lines over which locomotives work without difficulty. The security and neutrality of the ioute and the freedom of the ports are guaranteed in per petuity, under all circumstances . , by special :reticles in treaties with the Governments of Great Britain, France, and the United States. The words of the treaty between Honduras and Great Britain, nego tiated by Senor Herran (signed Aug. 27, 1856) are as follow : " In consideration of these concessions, and in order to secure the construction and permanence of the route or road herein contemplated, and also to secure for the benefit of mankind the uninterrupted advantages of such communication from sea to sea, her Britannic Majesty recognises the rights of so vereignty and property of Honduras in and over the line of the said road, and for the same reason guarantees, positively and efficaciously, the entire neutrality of the same so long as Great Britain shall enjoy the privileges conceded to it in the preceding section of this article. And when the proposed road shall have been completed her Britannic Ma jesty equally engages, in conjunction with the Re public of Honduras, to protect the same from in terruption, seizure, or unjust confiscation, from whatsoever quarter the attempt may proceed." The treaty with France, signed July, 28, 1857, has the same words, and also the treaty with the United States, signed March 28, 1860. This road therefore is based upon the principle that should rule in every commercial route. It knows no national distinctions in peace or war. It must be open upon equal terms to all the world, and its ports free to all the world. (The Emperor here ob served that this was the true course for such an undertaking. The distance of this route between New York and California is about 1,100 miles, or more than one-fifth the entire distance of 5,224 miles, shorter than by Panama. (The Emperor here referred to the map, and remarked that the saving was most important.) Of 40 recorded hur ricanes but two crossed the ocean route between New York and Port Cortez. The saving of time between New York and California and British Co lumbia from the safety of the voyage and conve nience of ports, &c., would be not less than five days. The harbours of the line have in their im mediate neighbourhood ample means of supplying provisions, water, timber, and other materials for the provision, repair, and building of ships. The climate on the coast is not unhealthy, and that of the interior all authorities concur in describing as most salubrious, and in every respect suited for settlement by Europeans; the railway has, besides its right of way, a grant in perpetuity of 1,400,000 acres. The lands are fertile, and abound in valuable woods and minerals. The Emperor then inspected the maps of the line and ports. He asked at what gradients the summit was surmounted, and expressed him self satisfied with the reply that the ascent from both the Atlantic and the Pacific was to a great extent gradual ; that the steepest gradients upon the line were for five miles on the Atlantic side, rising from the plain of Comayagna, 85 feet to the mile ; and for 22 miles rising from the Pacific at a gradient of 95 to the mile, but that these s t othe thee estimated im route ated gradients Colonel Stanton states admit of being very much improved.

The cold and tempestuous weather by which the present Whitsuntide is distinguished appears to have offered but slight interruption to the holiday making portion of the metropolitan public. In all directions numerous parties were seen leaving home at an early hour yesterday morning, evidently bent on enjoying the day. The excursion trains to Gravesend, Southend, Brighton, and other places, carried large human freights from the dust and smoke of London to a more congenial atmosphere, while the steam-boats on the river, notwithstand ing the storm—for such it really was throughout Ihe day—and the pleasure vans destined for subur ban places, were also active and numerous. In the evening operas, concerts, theatres, and entertain ments of all kinds-musical, pictorial, and scientific —put forth their claims to the suffrages of the holiday makeis, and came in for a fair share of patronage; and notwithstanding the cold, Cre morne, Royal Surrey, and Pavilion Gardens, North Woolwich, were not forsaken. Miss Julia Daly still maintains her sway over the feelings and judgments of the spectators. STRAND. The entertainments here last evening commenced with a new comedietta, in two acts, on behalf of which we cannot, " with the very best intentions," to quote the cant phrase of one of its personages, find much to say. A more absurd or an idler con junction of stale incidents and the cheap second. hand materials of farcical effect, has not very often been seen. The plot, if such a confused story can be so called, is indeed so far original that it is more unnatural than almost any other stage conception yet represented, of probable events in the London life of the present • day. In this play, which bears the title of " Appearances," there is a young fellow, a snob in mind and manners, who, having had a fortune left him, changes his name of Tommy Puff for that of Montgomery do Courty Plantagenet, and purchases an old-fashioned por trait, warranted by the picture-dealer for a genuine " Holbein," to make believe it is that of a noble ancestress of his own family. The portrait has been seen in the shop by an interesting pair of young ladies, Mrs. Mowbray, a - rich widow, and her cousin, Miss Cecilia, who recognise it as the likeness of a deceased female relative, mother to the second, and aunt to the first. They come to buy it, and are referred o Mr. Puff, who is coxcomb enough to fancy hey are both in love with him. The mysterious deceased lady had also a baby son, who was en trusted to an unprincipled nurse, and somehow mis• laid "on a doorstep in Doughty-street." A wicked old man, guardian to the two ladies, who was privy to making away with the infant for the sake of his inheritance, is led to fear that in gallant Thomas Puff will be discovered the long-lost boy. Hence some tampering with the dismal old woman, for merly the nurse, and now the housekeeper, " all unbeknownst," at Puff's lodgings. Two genteeler men, an artist and an accomplished barrister, ena moured respectively of the two fair cousins, come in to cross the pretensions of Mr. Montgomery Plan tagenet Puff. It would be tedious to describe the inconsistent and not very intelligible mistakes and accidental detections that ensue. The upshot of it all is that, by the agency of May Marigold, a slighted poor cousin of Tom Puff's, the mislaid orphan is found in the person of Mr. Vincenti the deserving young Templar, who obtains Mrs. Mowbray's hand, whilst her cousin makes the artist, Mr. Florid, equally happy; and the luckless Puff, having been thrashed, and snubbed, and bullied in a variety of ways, at last condescends to requite May Marigold's affection. The dialogue is poor, abounding only with tedious repetitions of the same verbal blun ders and misapplied phrases, with which, however, the gallery audience was diverted to the end ; and as the good Vicar of Wakefield remarks, " if there was less wit, there was all the more laughing." Mr. Clarke, in the character of Tom Puff, was broadly humorous and funny enough ; Miss Bufton ap peared as the elegant widow. The author of the piece was called for, and announced to be Mr. Palgrave Simpson. SPORTING NOTES. . _ The settling on the Derby has passed off highly creditable to all parties, only one or two absentees from the general rendezvous being announced. After Mr. Merry, who is said to have won £lOO,OOO, the chief winners on the 'race are Mr. Payne, Colonel Ousley Higgins (who executed a portion of the stable commission), Mr. Buchanan, and Mr. Graham Smith, the latter of whom "throws in" for ten thousand. Thormanby, The Wizard, and Horror—in fact two-thirds of the Derby field —are in the St. Leger. The Manchester races, Owing to the pub lication of the _handicaps before York, will not afford such good sport as the bill of fare at first gave promise of. Amongst the chief items in the list for to-morrow is the Union Cup, for which 63 horses are weighted, 11 of which have already paid. For the top weights I have no fancy, nor do I see anything higher in the list than Little Agnes and Meg Merrilies that I should prefer to them ; I shall, however, pin my faith on the representative of the Tupgill stable, Sir William or Horaze, Andover colt and Jack Spring will also run well. The Tenth Manchaster Produce Stakes may bring to the post the three late Derby aspirants, Northern Light (brother to Rainbow), Restes, and Cramond, and to the Baron's worse I award the preference. The 30 two year olds named for the Sapling Stakes will probably furnish a moiety of the num ber to the post, and the best to stand on are The Sage, Northern Light, and Sister to Singapore. The Phillips' Handicap maybe credited to Mr. Dawson's account, by the aid of Montrose. Annie and Miss Hawley I conceive to have the best chance for the Trafford Handicap. On the second day the Manchester Tradesmen's Cup looks likely to fall to either Sir William or Rajah Brooke, and I give the preference to the latter. To the Two Year Old Stakes there are 18 horses nominated, of which Kildonan, Mr. Buckley's colt by Rifleman, and The Norman are the best public performers. I expect to see Kildonan the winner. Jack Spring ought very easily to dispose of all but Nucleus in the Volunteer Stakes. On the last day either Sutton or First Lord ar e sure to carry off the Salford Borough Cup ; Mon trose or Swertha Imlay win the,Derby Handicap, and Dagger the Nursery. There are a couple of days' sport at Hangerford on Thursday and Friday, which will likely enough be largely patronised by those of the London pro fessionals who decline ajourney so far as Manchester. The Berkshire Handicap, two miles and a dis tance, has but half a dozen acceptors, the ablest of which I take to be Dreadnought, 3 yrs, 7st. The Wild Dayrell Stakes, five furlongs, has the names of Big Ben, King of Kent, end Viscount Brignal, and the former is well able to carry the penalty attached to winners, as he is at least 71b better than the other two. The Hungerford Stakes, for two year olds, six furlongs, has 24 subscribers, the best of whom are the Bohemienne colt, King of Kent, and Rupert, and as tha former proved himself a good and game colt at Bath, I shall give him the preference over the other two. In the John O'Gaunt Stakes, a mile and a half, Plumper and White Rose both look formidable ; and of the six in the Kennett Handicap, one mile, I put the greatest faith in Ringlet and Woman in Black. A FRESHMAN. HAYMARKET. After the new dramatic entertainments, both of which seemed even to improve on their previous success, a new ballet was introduced at the Hay market yesterday evening, in which the talents of the whole of the Leclercq family were brought into play. Being called " The Oddities of the Ohio," the reader will have little difficulty in guessing what it was about. Old Dan Tucker and his pretty daugh ters, Ohio boatmen anxious to run away with them, and negro "helps" ready to assist the hopeful pro ject, and dance with most extraordinary contortions through every difficulty. The dancing of Miss Louise Leclercq was exceedingly clever, not only as danc ing but as character dancing, and- showed that this graceful and gifted young lady uses her head a little as well as her heels in the practice of the popular art. Her two brothers made capital negroes, and danced those wonderful movements which we are told are indigenous to the cane-brakes, with sur passing agility and comic effect. The ballet, taken altogether, is a lively Whitsuntide entertainment, but a few cuts from,the pantomimic portion would make the really good dancing go off with greater briskness and more sustained success. ST. JAMES'S. The establishment of French plays in London, which has been so often attempted, and has so ofteti failed, has one more chance of suceess. M. Adrien Talexy, a gentleman well known in dramatic cir cles, has organised a troupe embodying several of the celebrities of Parisian theatres, - has engaged the St. James's—decidedly the most appropriate locale for such representations—and lastnight commenced a fresh campaign, with every sign of a hopeful re sult. The house has been freshly decorated, and looks airily pretty, and last night it was fully and fashionably attended. The performances commenced with a little introductory sketch, a prologue d'ou verture called" Les Etoiles de Paris," specially writ ten for the occasion,which was not particularlywitty, but served its purpose well enough. Then followed a very prettrpiece, " Le Cheveu Blanc," by Octave Feuillet, which has been recently played in Paris. The plot is simple, but very nice, the dialogue is sparkling, and the acting excellent. A husband and wife have been separated for 10 years, though contriving to inhabit the same house. Jealousy on both sides has caused a quarrel, which has brought about this result, and neither seems disposed to give way. On their return one night from a ball they get into conversation ; he taxes her with her flirta tions, she informs him that a lady has been inquir ing his age. This is a sore point with him, and he retorts savagely in reminding her of the date of her own birth. In the course of their talk she sees in his head his first grey hair, and thereupon speaks her hopes ; how she had looked forward to the ad vent of this epoch in his life as -the chance of recon ciliation ; how that, the heyday of youth being gone with both of them, it was fit that they should forget old jealousies and thenceforth live happily ; and how, finally, she had hampered the lock of his door with the view of bringing about this consum mation, which it is needless to say takes place. The two characters are played with the most perfect finish and delicacy by Mdlle. Duverger and M. Paul Devaux, and the little piece will doubtless become a great favourite in London. The last and longest piece was one in three acts by M. Legouve, called " Par Droit de Conquete,"and turns upon the rivalry existing between the roturier and aristocratic classes, and the method by which a rich and clever member of the former wins the daughter of one of the proudest representatives of the latter race. It is rather heavy and prolix, and not entirely suited to English tastes. M. Brindeau, of the Theatre Francais, who played the hero, has plenty of spirit and verve, but he is a little ponderous both in manner and figure. Mr. Talexy will best suit the wishes of his audience by playing short siarkling vaudevilles and modern comedies tolerably devoid of sentiment. Among the artists announced to appear are Mdlle. Adele Pages, Mdme. Delphine Fix, and M. Got. With such talent at his command the director can do wonders, and sustain and improve upon the capital start which he made last night. NEW ADELPHI THEATRE. Among the entertainments provided last evening at this elegant theatre by its enterprising manager, was' Going to the Derby," the name and incidents of which recal the pleasure-seekers to the sporting incidents of last week, so far as the road to Epsom is concerned. Much of the " fun" of the Derby race, to those who are unconnected with sporting transactions, and who have no taste for betting, consists in the pleasure of a drive, at a season of the year when nature has so many attractions, and when, in addition to the geniality of the season, the delicious fragrance of the hawthorn, the verdure of the fields, and all the varied luxuriance of nature, they can observe the vast number and varied cha racters of human beings who throng the roads on their way to the " Isthmian games," all bent on pleasure, some on mischief, and a large propor tion engaged during their progress in "chaffing." " Going to the Derby" was intended to give a farcical picture of these incidents and cir cumstances, and was performed some years ago at this theatre with great success. It was re produced last evening before a respectable and numerous audience. Mr. Jeremiah Twiddle, the prin cipal character, and the source and centre of all contretemps that occur was represented most hu morously by Mr. J. L. Toole ; while Mr. Paul Bed ford ably sustained his ancient reputation in the part of Chucks. Miss E. Thorne performed with ability the difficult part of Mrs. Twiddle ; and Miss Kate Kelly was equally successful as Mrs. Chucks. The audience were much gratified with the piece, and though not a novelty, its reception last night was sufficiently laudatory to warrant re petition. The other entertainments were,." It's an 11l Wind that Bows nobody Good," and "Our Female American Cousin," the latter of which has been performed several days in succession, and in which CREMORNE GARDENS. This place of amusement possessed an advantage over most of those, the attraction of which de manded fine weather; because although open as early as three o'clock, the principal entertainments do not commence until about six. By that time the storms of mingled rain and wind had abated, and shortly after the evening became clear and bright though cold. In the result, therefore, a considera bly greater number of persons made their appear ance in the gardens than could possibly have been expected, when the state of the weather in the former part of the day was considered. Whit- Monday is usually the actual and positive com mencement of the season here, and several novel ties were produced accordingly. In addition to the steam organ, a designation which gives a better idea of the instrument than the fanciful name of Xrephon, are the acrobatic exercises, the concert in the orchestra, the exhibition of the queerest man nikin; Mohammed, who is pro hac vice the hero of Cawnpore ; the " Soirees Mysterieuses" of Signor Poletti ; and the performance of Mr. Sullivan and his young son as negro melodists, and of Miss Kate Harley as a comic female singer; a new ballet of action was produced for the first time. It is en- titled " Stella; or, the Fairy Volunteers of the Enchanted Grove," and is one of those combina tions of fairy story and the grotesque, for the get ting up of which, with great completeness and effects extraordinary when the limited size of the working part of the theatre is considered, a reputa tion has been gained for Cremorne. The usual care and taste have been bestowed on this production, and it affords an cspportunity for somegood dancing by Madame Boleno, bliss Clara Morgan, and M. Milano, while the comic part in the form of feats of clownship and tumbling is carried on with great spirit. The circus is well supplied with artists of merit and skill, the chief of whom are Madame Maleto, Miss Emily Cooke, and a very young member of the Delavanti troupe, the remain ing portion of which also perform their gymnastic wonders. Among the features which will be probably the most taking one on the summer even ings is the fernery, which has been recently formed, and which consists of beautiful groups of rock work, studded with every kind of flower, and adorned with fountains, in the midst of which stands a con servatory crowded with ferns of every species, the delicate tints of which afford a charming contrast and in combination make up a very beautiful whole. There is in rapid process of completion an immense building, which is to contain a new description of panoramic painting by Messrs. Grieve and Telbin, called the steorama, which we are informed will be found full of novel and striking effects. In order to give completeness to the important arrangements connected with the restoration of visitors, a large dining or supper room has been added to the hotel department, which is capable of accommodating 220 persons with comfort and convenience. In every respect great pains have been taken, and no expense spared, in rendering this popular place of entertain ment attractive in all its departments, and nothing is wanting, or rather was wanting yesterday, but that genial weather which is essential to a summer garden. On Thursday last, at Richmond barracks, pre• vious to the dismissal of the Ist Royal Surrey Mi litia at the conclusion of its annual training, the re giment, upwards of 500 strong, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Evelyn, was minutely inspected by n Lieut.-Col. Carleton, of the Coldstream G uar d s . The ordinary manoeuvres of a field-day, in c l u di ng some infantrycelerity and precision, movements, a were performedd the in s p ec ti ng with officer expressed unqualified approbation at the lightcele high degree of proficiency attained by the regiment. We are requested to mention a slight inaccuracy which occurred in the account of the melancholy and fatal accident to Col. Boultbee at the review of the Ist Warwick Militia on Thursday. Lieut.-Col. Boultbce was the commanding, not the inspecting officer, of the regiment. It appears that he was riding a very spirited mare at the head of the regi ment in company with Lord Leigh, the Lord-Lieu tenant of the county, and others, on the return to the town from the racecourse, where the regiment had been inspected and highly complimented by Lieut.-Col. Preston, 48th Regiment. The imme diate cause of the accident was the breaking of the top swivel connecting the scabbard of his sword with the sword-belt ; this, reversing the scabbard, caused the sword to fall out. Two or three people ran to pick it up, and the mare shied, backed, and bolted round to the right, passing the column at full speed. The colonel had been in the regiment from his youth, and had commanded it as lieut.- colonel since 1847. He was in his 72d, not 73d, year. TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAY. The inexpediency of appointing two settling days for the Derby has been frequently questioned, and the subject has been again canvassed with greater warmth than ever. Accounts from the country were not received, and this circumstance alone caused much inconvenience to those gentlemen whose prin cipal transactions were commission bets. Still a large amount of money was circulated and very few heavy balances remain to be adjusted. So f.sr as we can judge from present appearances the business of paying and receiving is likely to be brought to a smooth termination. The " Ring"—al ways ready "to part"—r-do not seem to be very heavily hit,`for few liberties were taken with Thormanby, who held his position in the betting almost from first to last with much firmness ; whilst bookmakers must have found Buccaneer, Umpire, St. Albans, and one or two others most " useful instruments of gaming!' It is said that Mr. James Merry wins in bets and stakes nearly £lOO,OOO, and that his " commis sioner" nets £lO,OOO, and his trainer about £4,000. It is a singular fact that John Sharpe, an English jockey, who had much repute as a light weight some years ago, should have been called all the way from Russia to ride Thormanby. lle was, however, at the earnest solicitation of Mr. Mat Dawson placed on Northern Light (brother to Rainbow), because Mr. Dawson fancied his English experiences of great raceswere too limited to enable him to ride the horse with sufficient judgment. Young Custance won golden opinions by the way in which he rode Thormanby, who was twice nearly knocked down, and we trust he will know how to turn the tide of fortune which has set in towards him to good advantage. Until the final settlement of accounts to-morrow (Tuesday) it would be useless to refer further to the settling. The reported absentees will then be known. There was no betting. THE OBJECTION TO UMPIRE FOR THE DERBY. The following is the official notice published in yesterday's Calendar : - Previous to the race Mr. Wyatt, the owner of Nutbourne, objected to Umpire on account of his age. On being called upon by the Stewards to substantiate the charge he withdrew his objection, and has since written the following letter of apology : " Nutbourne, May 26, 1860. "My Lorda and Gentlemen,—l beg permission to withdraw the objection against Umpire lodged by me before the race for the Derby, and to express my great regret for having made it. Being at the time of the race in a state of some excitement, as the owner of a favourite horse in the race, I did not sufficiently consider that the question of. Umpire's age had been previously disposed of to the satisfac tion of the proper authorities. I wish to offer the fullest apology to Mr. Ten Broeck for having made the protest, and to assure him of my conviction that the objection made by me was entirely groandless.—l have the honour to be, your humble servant, (Signed) " JOIIN WYATT.

A general meeting of the Jockey Club was held on Saturday last—present the Duke of Beaufort and Admiral ltous, stewards • Mr. Alexander, L or d Anglesey, Sir It. W. Bulkeley, Lord Glasgow, Sir J. Hawley, Mr. Savile, Lord Strathmore, and Lord Zetland.

The following amendment was moved by Lord ZETLAND and seconded by Sir J. lIAwLEY : " That the Jockey Club subscribe 100 sows. to wards the expenses of making a tan gallop at New market, the remainder of the expense to be borne by the owners of horses trained there." The original motion was carried on a division, the numbers being— For Lord Glasgow's motion 8 Against it The Earl of March was appointed to be a mem ber of the managing committee of the Bentinek Fund, in place of Mr. Stanley, who retires by rota tion. The members for the ensuing year are—The Duke of Beaufort, Admiral Rous, and Lord Ports mouth (Stewards of the Jockey Club); Lord Glas gow, Lord Zetland, Mr. Payne, and Lord March.

CITY BETTING-YESTERDAY. The Racing Times says :—The morning was almost ex clusively occupied in settling on the Epsom week, and scarcely a bet was made on future events. The settling, as far as it went, was tolerably smooth. We heard of but one case of default to any amount. The betting on the Ascot Cup was entirely confined to Thormanby and Promised Land, and aids were laid on those two. 10 to 1 bar those two. The Ascot Stakes Acceptances are out. The handicap does not appear to give satisfaction. All the bookmakers seem full about everything—that is, they are reserving themselves until the Derby settling is over. As this is the first time any money has been added, we should have been glad to have seen a better acceptance. MANCHESTER BETTING-SUNDAY EVENING.

The present passport system finds a strong oppo nent in the Constitutionnel, which, after giving an accouit of the legislation in France on the question from the origin, seems to incline to the opinion that such impediments to free circulation will be shortly abolished in the French territory. The article terminates in these words : " When we pass iu review the whole legislation on passports, which, starting from a false principle, pretended at first to ascertain and guarantee even the morals of travellers ; when we reflect how very problematical are the services it may have rendered to society; and when in our days we see it fall into desuetude, at least within the frontiers of the em pire, it is impossible not to foresee that its end is near. Thank God! there are no longer in France armed bands roving about the country and living by plunder, vagabonds, thieves, and murderers, who maltreat the honest man, and turn him out of his own house' (as stated in an ordonnance of Fran cis 1., dated Sept. 25, 1523). At present the power ful hand of the Government everywhere maintains order and security; the action of the law meets with no apposition ; among the rural populations, as well as in the towns, the most complete tran quillity prevails. France, at the head of civilised nations, calmly enjoys her glory and greatness ; she gives the world an admirable spectacle of her laws and institutions. The Emperor's Government, after having happily realised such extensive reforms, may without danger recognise the principle of free cir culation which the Constituent Assembly inscribed in our laws, but could not establish in practice. Equally liberal, but more powerful, the Imperial Government can not only proclaim it, but make it a reality." In reference to the above, a writer in a contem porary says :—" I much doubt whether the Consti tutionnel, which is known to receive its inspira tions' in official regions, would venture to publish without authority, or without being certain of al)• proval, the article of which the above are the closing sentences. The passport system has been long ago judged and condemned, not only as tyrannical, but utterly useless for the purposes it was meant to promote. No retractation can be more complete than that in the semi-official journal. It was the C onstitutionnel, I remember, which previous to the Orsini attentat maintained the absolute necessity of passports, and even after that atrocious attempt which to others was the strongest evidence of their utter worthlessness, still maintained that they were certificates that conferred honour on the bearer—checks on crime, rather than facili lities for committing it. I appealed during that controversy to an authority which the Constitu tionnel would not, could not, and did not not dis pute—that of the Emperor Napoleon 111. himself. lam glad to find that the " inspirers" Qt . the con. :- 1
