Obirat nit LONDON SATURDAY, MAY $, 1852. Unable to bestow that blessing upon the vagricul turistsouring in particular, the llovernment i s endeavouring to accord to th e entire country the advantages of Protection. I ns tead of being protection a ga i nst the importation of fore i g n corn, it is to b e Protection de rived from the militia. Among the many le g i s l at i ve anomalies which have marked the pr esent session, assuredly this is by far the most remarkable. It dis plays the members of the newly constituted Adminia tration in the light of humourists rather than of statesmen. After maintaining, as Lord Dzawr un questionably did, in the memorable speech 111aUg ura . tiTe of hiS Cabinet, that there was no likeliho o d of any such warlike invasion as had been anticipated by the alarmists—grounding his assurance upon the fact of our friendly relations with foreign countries, and referring, i n ill us t ra ti on of this, particularly to the amicable disposition shown by the PIL IN c P"- SIDENT of the French Republic towards England — the PREMIER has, nevertheless, consented to counte nance the Bill introduced to the Commons by the HOME SECRETARY, as a measure directly emanating from the councils of her MaJzsrr's Government. The result of this inconsistency has been no less extraordi nary than the inconsistency itself—larger and larger majorities being accorded by the popular representa tives on each successive division to the very same kind of project, the folly of which led to the disrup tion of the late Administration. Ministers have placed themselves, therefore, in this rather ridiculous position—they are virtually approving when in office a panic which they disdained when in opposition— added to which, they are forcing upon the country the protec tion of a militia to which they were not pledged, while, at the same time, they are coolly settin g a s id e the protection the revived corn-laws, of to which they wire most s- lemnly pledged to their constitusncies, and, ind ee d, t o th e en ti re b o d y o f agriculturists 1 Yet this is the party whose advent to po w er w as made tha subject of a the l f e tlic thanksgiving by the Hon. Gentleman s n r for North Warwick shire! An amusing allusion roeet w th as made to this cir cumstance by the Hon. LI a 0 I 8. desultorye Repr esen t a ti ve o f Marylebone in the cours e before the Militia Bill was lan night discussion again considered - in Committee. It will be perceived from the re marks of Sir BENJAMIN HALL that the incident occurred on the occasion of a meeting of the acting committee of the National Association for the Protection of Industry and Capital throughout the British Empire, the meeting being held on the Ist of March, in the metropolis, and the association being under the patronage of such personages as the Judge Advocate, as the Secretary at War, as the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, as the Prime Minister, as the Lord Steward, as the Lord Chamberlain, as the President of the Board of Control, as the Foreign Secretary, and as the Chan cellor! Under the sanction of such authoritative Vice- Presidents, the acting committee convened the meeting in question, where, Mr. NEWDEGATE being in the chair, "it was resolved, that this association, first humbly acknowledging the hand of Almighty Goodness in the event, hails with fervent gratitude the advent to power of the Earl of DERBY." Yet, with the terms of this grandiloquent resolution staring him in the face, the Hon. Member for North Warwickshire could yes terday deliberately assert that the proceedings on that occasion were not commenced with prayer—as if there were not prayers of thanksgiving as well as prayers of supplication—and as if the resolution quoted by Sir BENJAMIN HALL were not a prayer of the former description Mr. NEWDEGATE consequently rendered himself liable to the banter of his brother legislators, not merely by his authorization, as chairman, of this public prayer of thanksgiving, but subsequently by his formal repudiation of the charge of having thus celebrated the elevation to the Ministerial chambers in Downing-street of the party he believed in his heart to be destined to revive the obsolete, the buried system of mercantile monopoly. The Hon. Baronet the Member for the borough of Marylebone, in thus dragging the devotional loy alty to Protection of Mr. NEWDEGATE before the notice of the House of Commons, may assuredly be said to have but little of the bowels of compassion. Had it been otherwise with him in these respects, he must inevitably have reserved the joke to himself for exclusive enjoyment, instead of insisting that the whole House should participate in its appreciation. Nevertheless, it must be allowed that the temptation before him was almost irresistible. The very terms of the resolution, more befitting the platform of Exeter-hall during the present May meetings, than the walls of the South Sea House, were sufficient to induce Sir BENJAMIN HALL to break through all or dinary considerations in the way of lenity or amenity. One might have reasonably expected to find in the chairman of a meeting, of which this was the first resolution, some Reverend Muggletonian, rather than the Honourable Gentleman the representative of North Warwickshire. It was but reasonable, there fore, to find Sir BENJAMIN HALL cruelly provoking the laughter of the House of Commons without any sort of regard for the feelings of Mr. NEWDEGATE. The Earl of DERBY, it must be acknowledged, is suffering more severely from the zeal of his sup porters than from the rancour of the Opposition. \V hat with the prayers of Mr. NEWDEGATE and the extravagant declarations of Sir FITZROY KELLY, the Noble PREMIER has anything but a quiet life of it. The formal assertions of the SOLICITOR , GENERAL as to the necessity of abolishing free trade brings Lord DERBY'S policy at one moment into a position fraught with embarrassment, while at another time—what is yet more lamentable—the solemn thanksgiving of the would-be Presi dent of the Board of Trade brings the whole Cabinet into ridicule, rendering its situation little less than absolutely ridiculous. Well may the Earl of DERBY exclaim, " Save me from my friends !" and care fully will he have to observe their proceedings if he aspires in earnest to work out the consolidation of his Government. The Property and Income-Tax Bill has passed through Committee in its present highly objection able form. It was read a second time, at nearly two o'clock yesterday morning, as we announced in our last impression, in an almost empty House. It was a complete surprise; for Members of all parties, (save those specially retained at the instance of the whipper in) had left the House, supposing that no further business would have been transacted at such an hour. It is by no means impossible that the Bill would, under any circumstances, have been carried through that stage without a division. There could, as we have already stated, have been but little difference of opinion as to the propriety of its renewal for a limited period, until the fitting opportu nity for the general revision of taxation shall arrive. Any possible question as to the modification of Schedule D, and the more equitable assessment of the impost, would be more properly disposed of in Com mittee than on the second reading. The discussion that might reasonably have been anticipated under other circumstances, and at a more seasonable time, would, however, be valuable, and some important views and opinions would probably have been elicited. It is hardly fair to submit matters of such vital importance to " a beggarly account of empty benches," in the absence of those who could and would have thrown additional light on the sub ject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER might consider himself bound by the pledge he has already given not to propose any measure of finance which might affect the means of raising the revenue during the present session, or, indeed, until the rapidly ap proaching appeal to the country has been responded to ; but there is no reason why other Hon. Gentlemen should not give expression to their feelings on the all-important topic. If ever there was a subject where speeches to the electors from within the walls of Parliament would be proper, it is that which may justly be termed the most interesting question of the day, and on which the several constituencies should be stimulated by every lawful means to express decided opinions, so 53 to permit no possibility of misconception ; and yet we find it hurried over—we will not say at an advanced hour of the night, but rather at an early hour of the morning—as if it were a mere matter of course, on which neither doubt, difficulty, or discussion oould possibly;arise. Last night again it passed through Committee almost sub silentio. The Hon. Gentleman the Member for Montrose unquestionably moved the adjournment of the House; but the amendment was withdrawn, the several clauses were agreed to, and after a few brief observations from the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the matter was practically dis posed of, so far as the popular branch of the Legisla ture is concerned for the present year. The people must now speak out boldly and unequi vocally ; they must clearly perceive that their only hope is in their own exertions. If any undue charge were imposed on real or personal property—if the fund holder, the landowner, or the shareholder, were unjustly attacked, a cry of "confiscation" would speedily arise which would reverberate through out the length and breadth of the land. But is " confiscation" worse than robbery ? and what is it but robbery, and that of the very worst description, to compel parties to pay ten or twenty times as much as under just r egu l a ti ons th ey cou ld b e c alled o to contribute. The person, who having earned 41. °r Si. per week by exc ess i ve l a b our , an d w h o i s obliged t o apply thereof, a large proportion, mor e th an half in liquidation of outstanding liabilities, so that he has less than 150/. available for the maintenance of himself and family, feels a deep and burning sense of injustice at being classed with the owners of from 6,500/. to 8,54 - 3 0 / . the Three per Cents., and com pelled to pay as m uc h to the collector. He m us t su b m it to some serious privation, or b orrow money at an ex travagant and usuriousus premium, his mind i s harassed by the knowledge of the recari • ous character of his pos ition and the difficultiespwlf which he must en counter when ill health or loss of employmment deprive him of his scanty resources, or even supposing that he should be so fortunate as to retain his situation for life, as to what will become of his w • ife and children after his removal from this transitory scene. The fundholder has no such care or anxiety on his mind. If he has incurred debt or liability, h e can easily satisfy it by the sale of a portion of his • capital, and if his income should be thereby reduced below 150/., he will be exonerated from any demand ; whether he be sick or well, occupied or unoccupied, he will still a mount to th e re ceive the stipulated very hour. He has nothing to -ea r from the bankruptcy or caprice of his qxat loyer, or froma failure of his own powers of endurance. Even aft er hi s death there is a certain provision for his family, and that without the allocation on his part of any Portion of his receipts, either for insurance or accumulation in any form. It is, therefore, so perfectly absurd to say that the equal taxation of all descrip tions of income can for a moment be justified, that if it had not received the legislative sanction for ten, we might say for eleven successive years, it would seem to be a fighting against shadows to controvert it. It is, however, a sad reality ; and since the anomaly has been supported as it is still maintained, without amelioration, no exertion should be spared to obtain the intro duction of a wiser and more equitable system, of one that may be examined in all its details without ex citing blushes in the face of every right-minded Eng lishman. The time is rapidly approaching when such exertions may be beneficial : if every elector, who feels himself aggrieved under the existing law, deter mines that under any circumstances he will not bestow his suffrage on any candidate who will not pledge himself to support an equitable modification of Schedule I), the matter will be speedily placed on a proper foundation, and the impost will never be re newed in its present highly objectionable form. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Pays and Public have received a first warning from the Minister of Police for publishing an appre ciation of debates in the Corps Legislatif. The dis tribution of the Emancipation Beige is stopped for the same reason. The Journal de Geneve is prohi bited in France. The Constitutionnel (and of course the Pays itself) expresses astonishmentot the:warn ing given to the Pays. The tlloniteur contains a treaty, signed April 27, between France and Holland, stipulating pilot dues on the footing of the most favoured nations. The Council of State has given its approbation to the Bill for calling out the contingent of 80,000 men. It has also completed the discussion on the Bill rela tive to the modifications to be introduced in Articles 5,6, and 7 of the Code of Criminal Instruction. The Council of State has voted as urgent a proposi tion for a credit of 360,000 f. for the establishment of a canal and the improvement in the rivers of the Sologne. It is said that General DE GOYON will be charged with extraordinary powers to examine the proceed ings of all the political prisoners still confined in the fort of Bice tre, and release such es may receive that indulgence without danger. The two regiments of artillery in garrison at Vin cennes and at the Ecole Militaire have just been fur nished with howitzers on the model invented by the PRESIDENT of the Republic, which were recently tried and highly approved of at Vincennes. These pieces have all engraved on them the arms and initials of the PRESIDENT. The body of General ARTHUR O'Comsoa, after being embalmed, was buried in the family vault in the Park of Bignon. Among the mourners was M. ISAMDERT, one of the oldest and dearest friends of the deceased. Before the tomb was closed, M. ISAMBERT made a very affecting funeral oration, in which he warmly eulogized the virtues of the departed general, and enumerated some of his numerous acts of charity. The third spring meeting (Paris races) of the season took place on Thursday in the Champ de Mars. Although the weather was rather cold fur the month of May, it was very fine. The attendance of spectators of different classes was very great for a week day. The stands were fully occupied, chiefly by ladies, and within the cords was a rather large gathering of dashing equipages. The assemblage of members of the Jockey Club, end of sporting cha racters, was very numerous. The PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic arrived shortly after the commence ment of the business, and remained nearly to the end. The PRINCE went to visit the tribunes in course of erection for the grand military &splay on Monday. He was received with every mark of respect by the spectators, and was accompanied by General MAGNAN, General ST. ARNAUD, Count DE MORN; and M. FOULD. The fourth and last of the Paris spring meetings is to take place on Sunday. The day's business will, it is expected, be the most brilliant of the season. The Bourse was feeble with not much business doing. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. opened at 100 f. 20c., rose to 100 f. 35c., fell subsequently to 100 f. 15c., and closed at 100 f. 20c. for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed at 70f. 50c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,185 E; Rouen, 772 f. 50c.; Havre, 291 f. 25c.; Great Northern, 587 f. 50c.; Avignon, 288 f.

A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin, dated yester day morning, says—" The report of the committee charged to examine the Royal Message relative to the future composition of the First Chamber, was yester day presented to the Second Chamber ; the report re commended its rejection. The Chamber, after a long discussion, adopted the views of the committee, and rejected the Government measure." The National Gazette of Berlin of the 3d states that two political merriages are talked of—that of the Emperor of AUSTRIA with the Princess SIDONIA of Saxony, and that of the reigning Duke of BRUNS wica, with the view of preventing the return of his States to Hanover at his death from failure of issue. The name of the lady in this case is not given. The Second Chamber of Prussia, on the 4tb, re jected by 134 votes to 115 the Bill presented by the Government for increasing the duty on beetroot sugar. The First Chamber terminated the examination of the budgets. The Prussian Gazette of Berlin states that Baron DE KEMPEN has been appointed Minister of Police in Austria, and that the public press is to be placed under the control of his department. EGYPT. A letter from Alexandria of the 31st ult., in the Breslau Gazette, states that one of the conditions of the arrangement entered into with the Porte is that the VICEROY is to pay 150,000 purses (1,406,2500 per annum. WEST INDIA and MEXICAN MAILS SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY. The Medway has just arrived, with the West India and Mexican mails. Her dates are—Vera Cruz, April 7 ; Jamaica and Demerara, 14; Trinidad, 15. She has brought 158 passengers, amongst whom are Messrs. Thompson and Girod, delegates from Jamaica; also a large number of persons from the interior of Mexico. Amongst the cargo is specie and gold dust, of the value of 1,464,235 dollars, on merchants' account, and 40,742 dollars on account of Mexican dividends. From Mexico we learn that the Government of Arista is unpopular, and that another revolution was imminent. The Government was without money, and the Congress would supply none. The amount required for the January dividend had been scraped together with difficulty. A rupture also would pro bably take place between Mexico and the United States, in consequence of the refusal of Mexico to carry out the Tehuhantepec railway treaty. From Jamaica we learn that trade was dull. The sugar crop would fall short of that of last year. The small-pox was making rapid progress through out the island. The Windward Islands were healthy. The fever was abating in Demerara. From Carracas we learn that the coffee crop was closed, and that it was a short one. The cocoa crop was also expected to be a short one. From Chili and Peru we learn that the Ex- President, General Bellivian, was on his way to Buenos Ayres. From Flydacore we learn that General Flores was cruising off Guayaquil on the 28th of March. An attack was daily expected, and much anxiety pre vailed in the Equador. THE GERMAN EMIGRATION.-011 the Ist instant, 4,000 Germans left Bremen for America, moat of them for New 'fork. Prince Albert has been pleased to express a desire to be regarded as the patron of the Isle of Skye emigration plan. DEMOLITION OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—In COl2 , sequence of many thousands of persons in the United King dom having been unable to obtain a copy of the Great Exhibition Chart, printed in colours, and presented by the proprietors of the Weekly Di patch, to their subscribers and the public, in the months of January and February last, a re-issue has been determined upon, to take place on Sunday, the lf th of May. The Caart, which has undergone a careful revision, shows by simple diagrams the number of persons that visited the Exhibition daily, the amount of money taken at the various entrances, the quantity of refreshments con sumed; the names of the Royal Commissioners; an account of the origin of the Palace, and its dimensions in feet. In order that every individual in the country may pos sess this statistical reflex of curious and interesting results, to mark the demolitio n of the building, and to serve as a memento of its existence, the Chart will be delivered gratis to every subscriber and .purchaser of the Dispatch on the day stated. The Dispatch is published at four o'clock every Saturday morning, in time for the first railway trains leaving London, and for the morning mails. Early orders should be given to all newsvenders in town or country • or to Mr. R. J. Wood , No. 139, Fleet-street. The news agents will have a copy of the Chart With every D , atch of Diay 16th.

(Before Vice-Chancellor PARKER.) THE RIVAL OPERA HOUSES. LUMLEY V. WAGNER. This case was resumed this morning. Mr. MALINS followed Mr. Bethell on behalf of the de fendant. The line of argument taken by the Learned Counsel was to deny that Dr. Bacher had ever been autho rised to act as the agent of the Wagners, that the prohibi tory clause had been inserted by him without the authority of the Wagners, and,in fact, that theyhad originally refused to sign any agreement containing such a stipulation; and after it had been inserted they had protested against it, and com plained of it strongly and frequently. It was only by the repeated assurance of Dr. Bacher that the matter should be set right when in London, that they allowed them selves quietly to acquiesce, without taking more ener getic measures to free themselves from it. It appeared that Dr. Bacher did not inform Meddle- Wagner that he had in serted this stipulation until some time further. Under these circumstances, he thought this stipulation, which was the only part of the contract which gave the Court jurisdiction to act, was not so far without doubt, and without suspicion, as to induce the Court, even if it were of opinion that Madlle. Wagner had ultimately acceded to it, to interfere with the great powers which it possessed, without further enquiry into the facts before it, to stop the exercise of Madlle Wagner's talents, as the injunction now sought would do. (The points relied on by the Learned Counsel, and the extracts from the evidence quoted by him, were almost precisely the same as those quoted by Mr. Bethel], in his opening speech, as re ported in our columns of yesterday.) If the Court were of opinion that this contract was entered into in all its provi sions with the full and willing consent of Mdlle. Wagner, and that it was a complete and valid contract, the next ques tion was, whether it had been fulfilled by Mr. Lumley. The sum of 3001., it was confessedly agreed, ought to have been paid on the 15th March at first, and afterwards on the 2d of April, but Dr. Bacher nowhere stated that he had offered the money to the Wagners before the 11th of April. If he had the money in his hands so early as March 9, as was pre tended, why had he not paid it? There was no adequate reason offered for this, but he thought it was extremely un likely that he had such a sum in his hands at that particular time. Perhaps he might have had a bill of exchange of 3004 , which would, perhaps , be of as much value as that which had been dishonoured in the Haymarket in February. No offer of money was made till the 15th, when Mitchell arrived at Hamburgh, Lumley having gone there from Paris on the 12th. There was no doubt that Mitchell had brought the money with him, or at least had enabled them to raise it. Under these circumstances, considering the rumours which were then pre valent as to the solvency of Mr. Lumley, when she had heard that the last year's salaries remained unpaid, and when she found that the very first item of her contr i a t ct l h ik a e d ly be s e h n e b sh ro o k o e l n d in the non-payment of the 300/., was have undertaken all the expenses of a journey to England and place herself in the power of Mr. Lumley without any hope of receiving a remuneratio n for her services? He contended therefore, that Mr. Lumley had been the first to break the contract, and he could not, therefore, come into court to claim the fulfilment of it by the other party. Whatever might be his remedy at law, he certainly had no right to that which he sought from this Court. He therefore sub mitted, first, that there never was a contract binding upon this lady; and, secondly, if there had been, it h ad beenso flagrantly violated by Mr. Lumley, as to deprive him of all right to insist on its performance by the other party. As re garded Mr. Gye, he contended th at the allegations f impro priety of conduct, and even f rau d on his part, insinuated, or o rather charged in the bill, were unsupported by any evidence and thus deprived M r . L umley of all right of obtaining an injunction against him. Mr. DIARTINDALE followed on the same side. Mr. BACON then proceeded to address the Court in suppor of the injunction, when our report left. 98 I EXC WEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) V. COLLINS. This was an ac on action DWYER that a bill of exchange, to which the de fendant pleaded the bill was given for a " gaming" debt. Th e t r i a l took place before the Lord Chief Baron. The defendant gave evidence in support of his own case, and swore that the only bill he handed to the plaintiff was in payment of certain debts which he had incurred by gam bling. The defendant's counsel called for the bill, but the other side declined to produce it. He then asked the plain tiff's attorney whether he had the bill with him in court. To this the plaintiff's counsel objected, on the ground that answering it would be a breach of professional confidence. The Lord Chief Baron, after consulting with the other judges, decided that the question must be answered. The attorney then admitted that the bill was in court, and in his possession. The defendant's counsel asked for its pro duction, but he was met by another refusal, and he next proposed to offer secondary evidence of the contents of the bill. The Learned Judge ruled that it was competent for the counsel to do so; and secondary evidence being given and a verdict passed for the defendant, a rule for a new trial was subsequently obtained and argued before the full Court. Mr. Baron Peru', in delivering judgment, heatset ro saidt hish etphoaestrsteeoswrsnieoernye two q uestions to be decided—first,w was protected from answering a question whether of a bill which had been entrusted to him in professional c onfidence; and, secondly, whether, on r e fusing to do so, it was competent for the detendant's counsel to give secondary ev idence of the contents, no previous h a ving been given. The Court notice to produce had consulted all the autho rities on the subject, and were ef opiniou that the ruling of the Chief Baron on those questions was perfectly right.lt was quite clear that an answer to the questions put by the defendant's counsel would not divulge, directly or indirectll any secret communicated to the plaintiff's attorney in p •- fessional confidence. In regard to the second point, they were of opinion that a day's notice to produce was not re quired in a case where the document was proved tolbe in coney an immediate request to do so being amply sufficient. It would be a scandal on the law if, under these circumstances , the defendant had failed because he did not give a notice to produce. The Court, therefore, thought the justice of the. case did not require a notice.—Rule discharged. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. A one act farce was produced last evening under the title of A Lucky Friday. M. Paul Raimbant, an old French mercantile cashier, believing, on the strength of a letter from Bourdeaux, that he has been left a large fortune, suffers himself to be overruled by the solicitation of the daughter of his employer, and by the belief that he will. speedily be enabled to make good the deficiency, to make' use of a sum of money from the cashbox to relieve the exigencies of a friend whose son is the lover of the afore said lady. Nevertheless, being a naturally honest mane his conscience is by no means at ease, and to make the matter worse the letter turns out to be a sheer hoax. In , this grievous perplexity a rise takes place in the value , of some little property in his possession, and he ill ' enabled to replace the abstracted money before the Woe step can be detected. Mr. Wigan's personation of the old Frenchman, who, among other peculiarities, has s moat superstitious abhorrence of Friday, is admi rable. It is one of those parts in which this. versatile and accomplished actor is unequalled on the stage. Ho has, moreover, the merit of being the careful adapter of • the piece, which is an excellent addition to the repertoire of this theatre. A part sustained by Mr - Addison gives scope to the talents of that careful an d judicious performer. In the afterpiece of Wittikind some curtailment s have been made since the first night, and it now only needs to have the predominance of brass in the orcheo" tra modified, to render it unexceptionably satisfactory so a dramatic spectacle. The closing scenes of either ad —of the first, where Miss Carlotta Leclercq is seen so the swan-borne Melusine " diaphanous with delicate splendour;" and.of the second, where an unearthlylusn envelopes the glitt er i ng t h rong on t h e completion or their adventures—ar e decidedly among the most silge ei triumphs of stage effect. " Mr. Flexmore," says the critic in the Atheneum" " as the owl, is excellence itself," an opinion to whic h, as far as our inferior knowledge of owls extends, we cheerfully subscribe. He is, at all events, d° - lightfully amusing, and the drunken scene, as given' by this rare buffo, is the most popular feature of the piece. Madlle. Auriol's exquisitely-finished dancing in the fete scene, and Mr. Harley's awful Wis .. givings as to the prospect of exalted felicity held out to him by the sorceress queen, are r es p ec ti ve ly productive of much approbation; nor is little Miss Kate Terri ° consequential and inflexible Pacolet by any means VA' appreciated. The Cars ican Brothers, with its ghostly machine* . still maintains its attractions. In the London corre' spoudence of a provincial contemporary (the Inverness Courier), the following account is given of the origin °I this drama. It occurs to us, however, that the Of; member of the Provisional Government is a native °' Madrid : " Some years ago, Louis Blanc (whose blank little face and sharp eyes may often be seen in th e streets of London) related in a Parisian saloon a 501: 0 ; stition of his native island of Corsica, turning up oa supposed mysterious sympathetic link which connec t ; twin-brothers; so that, even when separated by half world, any misfortune or pang, physical or mental, es: perienced by one, is felt in a sort of mystic echo.- -In ' undefinable sense of pain and sorrow—by the eth er ; Louis Blanc added that he was an example of the tru th ` of the idea ; that he was a twin, and that when reside nt ' in the island of Corsica he had received a mysteriotto warning of misfortune to his brother at Paris. He s e; mediately started for the capital, where he found relative in bed in consequence of a sword-thrust v ir % ceived in a duel, at the exact moment when the Will Corsica experienced the und e fi na bl e sensa tion of pa i n' ~. and mental agony. Upon thi s v i s it M. D u mas, was present, built up a tale which he afterwards dram a tised, tised, and which in the En g li s h vers i on i s now on e 0' I lions of the day." THE NEW INFANTRY CAP.
