PROPOSAL PORA NEW BRIDGE OVIR THE THAMES • At a Court held yesterday, iii. - BARKLY - (in the absence of Mr. Thomas Rowl e y, th e c h a i rman of the Bridge-house Estates Committe e ), rove d, " That the report recommending the re-buildi ng o f Blackfriars bridge be adopted. He said th at t h e C om mittee were decidedly of opinion that it would not be wise to expend their means in repairing the bridge, but that they were unanimously of opinion that a new one should be erected.—(Hear, hear.) In the repair! , connected with that bridge some thousands of pounds had been expended, and having bad so much of repa rations in such matters, the committee thought it better to submit to the consideration of the Court at large whether it would. not be better at once to con struct a new bridge. He therefore moved that the court agreed with the committee in their report. Deputy HOLT submitted that as the chairman of the Bridge-house Estates Committee was not in his place, that it would be wise to postpone the motion. Mr. Bermes observed that he had had for some time a notice upon the paper of business with refer • ence to the desirability of constructing a new bridge over the Thames in a direct line with Old 'Change, north and south. He was ready to go on with that proposition, in conjunction with the one then before the court as to the recommendation for constructing a new Blackfriars-bridge, and he believed, if he was permitted to do so, he should be able materially to abridge the discussion on both of the propositions. The COURT then agreed that Mr. Bennoch's pro posal should be entertained simultaneou s l y with the report. Mr. BENNOCH then said, although he h a d g iven notice of the motion for a new bridge Bo l ong ag o as December, 1851, he was nevertheless g l a d o f the delay, as the report introduced by the B r id ge- h ouse Committee added weight to, ,his prop os ,. in pro -posing such alitiliknertes hirhiteito introd n ,* proe bending an improvement of the most mportant he had no personal or pecuniary advantage in view. important kind, Neither the pulling down of old and dilapidated houses, nor the building of new ones, could benefit him. His business lay in a different dir ect i on. Since papers, eohfe hadthe mreoctaiiovnedhmadahay offers a d in the public ofassistance from influential inhabitants, who thought that any propo sition petitions from the by h extensive bu the had should declined backedauc offers, being anxious that the corporation should t a k e the initia tive, and have all the merit of so import ant a work. citizens s o There was no good without a certain admixture of evil. The noblest river, however essential to the health and comfort of a large city, was stil an enor mous inconvenience. While it brought to their doors the necessaries and luxuries of life, sad carried away the refuse of their streets, still, by dividing one portion of the population from the other, it became an evil to be mitigated by the construction of bridges alone. He would endeavour to prove the necessity for a new bridge, the fitness of the site suggested, and the probable cost of the con struction, and the general advantages of the plan re commended. He would only ask any of the mem bers to stand on London-bridge for ten minutes be tween nine in the morning and six is the evening, to convince them of the necessity of further accom modation for the increasing traffic of the metropolis. Blockaded with waggons, cabs, and omnibuses, at certain times it was almost impassable. At Black friars-bridge the evils were greatly aggravated. Much of the crowding of the large thoroughfares arose from the fact that many of then converged at a certain point without sufficient provision being made for the proper circulation of carriages. New streets were opened parallel with old ones, which they re lieved at one point to block up at mother. Traffic north and south naturally found its way over Black friars or London-bridge. Omnibuses from Islington to Kennington might go down lawgate-street to avoid the crush on Ludgate-hill, tut they must go across the line at Farringdon-street ; t o_hers went to London-bridge to swell a tide already too full, and everybody knew that the sleep+ progres s and frequent interruption of pa ha conveyances rendered it economical in poht of time to walk rather than ride from Aldgate to Temple-bar. If Southwark.hidge were free of toll to-morrow it would not greatly relieve the streets. There was no outlet to tie stream of traffic. It would ease London-bridge of many of its car riages, but it would soon block tit Queen-street, and find a dead lock in Cheapside, chile the gradients were so bad that heavy drays wo ad avoid it. In all improvements, especially in the ormation of bridges, a free outlet should be the chief aim, and until Vic toria-street was completed Ipndon-bridge alone agreed with that principle. It mould be interesting to arrive at the annual amount o the loss sustained by brewers, wharfingers, carriet, and proprietors of public conveyances through stopages in the streets. An ingenious friend o f hi s had tone into the calcu tion, and come to th e conc l usion t h at w hat might be done in ten minut es usually oc c upied fifteen minutes, to the sacrifice of one or two thousand pounds per day, or from 300,0001. to 600,00/- p er annum; nal taking, the loss at 300/. per d ab there was a loss 9 0 100,000/. annually, an amount almost sufficientt build a bridge once a y ear. Tie argumen t deducible from the extraordinary increase of public convey ances, not only since our last (itY bridge was com menced. .. but opened, m us t h avecons id era ble weight. Since then cabs had multi led four or fis:e7. fold, whilst of omnibuses, whip were at that period unknown, there were upwards f 3,000. The ra p id spread of commerce, and the recessities of bu s iness, conducted within a circumscribd area, turned d the dwell ing-houses into counting-holies, and force population to resid e i n the valous su b ur b s , and the vehicles necessary t o convey tpm to and from their houses seriously add e d to the faffic. But the luo argu ment arising from th e rapid acrease of PuPu h a t be was perhaps the most contusive, and ulig 1801 gathered from the f o ll ow i ng fa 4 :—ln the ye ar , when the populati on was br 958 , 863 , there were but three bridges ; i n 1811 Wh en mo re were de manded, there being an incrase of 179 ' 95 1 2 souls, there was no addition t o the number. In 1 8 - 9 , when the increase amounted t o 241,132, two were pleted, making five in a ll. In 1831, one of the bridges was widened, still th e e were but five bridges, withbrid although the population h a d i sen e as compared had 1801, to an increase of 293,t 5 . In 185wawa foot six bridges, one of w hi c h, ungerford, hed the _at. bridge only, though the p o I i t aon had reac enormous number of 2,369,6 0 -- (Hear.)

All animal bodies consist of fluids and solids. 2. While in a state of embryo, all animals consist entirely of fluids. 3. It is from and by the fluids that the solids are formed. 4. The fluids contained in the human body are four times the weight of the solids. 5. The chief of the fluids is the blood, from which all others are derived. 6. The blood not only repairs every part of the human machine, but also carries with it all the rnbbish or decayed parts, to be depo sited in the intestines, previous to being expelled along with the ex crement. 7. The blood is the life—the primtun mobile—the first agent—from which all others derive their origin. 8. Health depends upon the purity of the blood. 9. The purity of the blood depends upon its having free outlets for its decayed particles. 10. Disease is induced by the choking up of these outlets in the bowels by reason of an accumulation of glary mucus on the inner surface of the intestines, Sac. 11. This accumulation is occasioned by anything that weakens the circulation or hurts digestion, but chiefly by the poisonous drugs and bad treatment of the Faculty. 12. The Impurities thus detained in the blood occasion every spe cies of disease, according to the quality of the humour, or the parti cular locality in which it is lodged. 13. All diseases arise from one source, therefore they may all be cured by one medicine. 14. This medicine must be a vegetable purgative, innoxions in it self, yet sufficiently powerful to pervade the whole system, clear away the abovementioned mucus, and purify the blood. 15. The discovery of a vegetable compound, capable of being di gested, and mixing with the blood, so as to impart to it that energy requisite for ridding the body of all superfluous humours, was a de sideratum. 16. This discovery has been made by JAMES MORISON, the Hygeist, in the composition of the Vegetable Universal Medicine, commonly known as Morison's Pills, of the British College of Health, Hamilton -place, King's-cross, New-road, London.

LONDON, FRIDAY EVEN, NG S N 9 SEPTEMBER 24, 1852. e qu to al s i o n m s e im o p f li t c h it e y Doctors' Commons would remain undisturbed. The street projected from Cannon-street to Earl-street, route chosen ; and if they look at the rates of incline approachesd id nt the Thames, London-bridge, on the Surrey side, Blackfriars,do n of tebridges and d ge beauty acrossth the from the gate of St. Thomas's Hospital, bad, in 100 ft., 4 ft. rise; Southwark, 3 ft. 3 in.; Southwark (City side), 4 ft. 6 in.; Blackfriars (Surrey side), 3 ft. 10 in.; Waterloo (ditto), 3 ft.; Westminster (ditto), 3 ft. 9 in. ; Middlesex side, 3 ft. 9 i n . ; an d the proposed bridge (Surrey side), 2 ft. 6 in., and on the City side it would be on the level .-- (gear. Then let them look at the cost of the several bridges. The new London-bridge cost 680,2321., removing the old bridge, 35,600/. ; the approaches, 1,840,4361.; Southwark, including the approaches, 800,000/. ; Blackfriars, ditto, 210,0001 ; Waterloo, ditto, 1,000,0001.; Westminster, 388,7001.; Vauxhall, , 150,000/. ; Hungerford. 110 , 000 /. • while be had it from the best authority that the proposed bridge, which he would name " St. Paul's," to be 60 feet in width, with a headway of 27 ft. 6 in., might be erected for 144,0001. The estimate of 144,0001. did not include the purchase of any land or compensation to be given, but even these, from the character of the locality, might be fairly con sidered less than is usual in such cases. The sum, though moderate, is ample, and the designer would guarantee its execution within the estimate. This arises from various causes—such works, through the incitement of railway enterprise, are better under stood. The nature of iron, and its many advantages in works of this magnitude, are thoroughly compre hended ; and, above all, coffer-dams and the old fashioned system of pile-driving are entirely dispensed with by a recent very ingenious application of the principles of the diving-bell. A tube is dropped into the water, and rests upon the bed of the river. If are riveted Wit' tsitirthe titiPeTrfusit - etittids above high 114414.*A1111.40r—thsil tube is long, other tubes water; an apparatus with double valves is fixed on the top, and made air-tight, an air-pump is then ap plied, and the pressure within the pipe raised until it expels the water, which cannot ooze in again, the pressure within being greater than the density of the water without, and keeps the interior of the tube perfectly dry. Workmen then de scend, dig away the ground from under the edge of the tube, which sinks by its own weight, and as it sinks other cylinders are fixed on the top, and the whole let down until they have reached a solid foun dation. In this manner the tubes of one of the piers bridge at Rochester were lower e d f o rty feet belownew the bed of the river, and planted on the solidock, and they could have taken it 400 feet if necessaryattin r The material cut out is lifted up thr oug h the valves before na med, an d when the proper depth is gained, they introduce bricks and Portland ce m ent, and fill the cavity of t he tube with them, which im mediately becomes as strong as stone. These tubes (being six o r seven feet in diameter) are placed within eero the two or three feet o f each other and in do uble rows , and can be exten ded to an y len g th that the width ofres• the bridge requires. They are then all braced to gether with b ea ms of iron, and on the top is placed a plate of iron, wit h tr ansverse beams, and the cavities . b e t ween , about twelve.inches deep, ' are filled with cement, &c. Then round all the tubes is fixed a shield, pointed up and down the river, so that all off a nd from ' collisions danger is warded foundation for the stonew ork, from which the arches the foundation. itself may become spring, or the plate _ avoided. The plate described may then become the likelihood to corrode and fall off, he (Mr- Bennoch ) h a d been Should any question arise as to the durability of the iron, or its assured by Sir Charles Fox, than whom there is no better authority, thatiron in such a position, and one inch thick, would last 500 years, but if it did fall off you have still left the solid masonry , which time could hardly destroy. He had, he trusted , proved sa tisfactorily the three propositions he set out with— the necessity was obvions--no site could be better chosen—and the cost will be only half the cost of Blackfriars, and only one-fourth the expense of Lon don.bridge. The streets in the neighbourhood seem to have been arranged as if some such improvement had then been contemplated. After crossing the river on a dead level from Fish-street by a very gentle descent of 2 feet 6 inches in 100 it comes to the level at Union-street, crossing only two streets of any importance—Thames-street, in the City, and Great Guildford-street, in the Borough; continuing southward it joins the New Southwark-bridge-road beyond the Queen's Bench, and gives a direct line from the heart of Middlesex to the heart of Surrey. One objection may be urged whichhas generally made weight, but in this instance opposition would be fruitless, as he believed the building of a church where church accommodation was needed would overcome the scruples of the Bishop of London ; and permission to pull down St. Mary's, Fish-street, would easily be obtained. He (Mr. Bennoch) had caused statistics of attendance of the ch u r c h es i n th a t l oca lity to be taken, and was astonish e d to find, that in seven churches within 200 yards of th e one proposed to be removed only 250 persons w ere present. In one at the corner of Old Change and Watling-street there was a con gregation of 150, leaving only 100 for the other six churches, an average of not quite 27 each, so the re moval of one would not greatly overcrowd the others. One word more and I have done—how were the funds to be raised ? That was legitimately within the scope of the inquiry of the committee; but he believed the scheme carried with it so much common sense and argument that Government would immediately sanc tion any feasible plan to raise the necessary amount ; it is a question for Middlesex and Surrey, quite as much as for the corporation, and all might be bound to centribute their shares. So far as the City is concerned, he verily believed that not only would the ground be cleared, compensation given, but the bridge built for less money than it would coat to open the road to Earl-street; and there is no comparison between them when the public convenience is duly considered —it would not indeed cost more than the removal of Farringdon Market. While advocating the scheme he had projected he had studiously avoided any remarks upon the present or late improvements, because he felt that those completed and others sug gested went far to render necessary the one they were then considering; and if the court would refer it to a committee to be investigated, he would pledge himself to substantiate, by irrefragible evidence, every statement he had made. He would, therefore, move, as an amendment, " that no further proceedings shall be taken in the proposed rebuilding of the bridge at Blackfriars, especially a temporary bridge, until the Bridge-house committee have examined and re ported on the propriety of building a new bridge across the Thames between Blackfriars and South wark-bridge,: and the probable cost of the same, and the approaches thereto ; and that the report be referred back to the Bridge-house committee ac cordingly." Mr. ANDERTON seconded the amendment. Alderman LLWRENCE remarked that there could be no doubt but that the erection of a temporary bridge, as proposed in the report before the Court, would involve a considerable amount of expense, and he thought that such an amount would be much bet ter laid out if it were dedicated, in part, towards the erection of an extra bridge for the convenience of the great body of their fellow-citisens.—(Hear , hear.) Whether the proposal of Mr. Bennoch , as to the bridge crossing the Thames at that identi cal s p ot, was the best that could be selected, would be consi dered by the committee to which the matter might be referred. As to difficulties with regard to levels which had manifested themselves on former occasions, hadesp especially c h i aelel been insurmountable , w ith reference n ß d l , a iknf. c onsequence,ar' s- b r idge, that they tt bridge had been, as it then was, unimproved, and, in. deed, unimprovable. He heartily agreed with M r . Bennoch's amendment, and he thought that th e plans ef an r sw er h r i ed, which that gentleman emanhad produced sh ou ld be original report, t o th e Bridge-house estates' committee, for full conside ration. Upon a show of hands it was found that Mr. Ben noch's amendment was carried without a single dis sentient. WORKS OF ART FOR THE MANSION ROUSE. A report was brought up by Mr. J. B.

This is the largest number ever brought on one occasion from abroad since the first introduction of foreign cattle to any extent into this Country. [PRICE SD. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TlMES.—Mankind—at least in all civilized coun tries—have agreed to respect the period which inter venes between death and burial—" the first dread days of nothingness," as Lord Byron calls them—that solemn and touching time when the earthly tenement which the soul has deserted seems not wholly uncon scious of the life which once animated it, and lingers between the action which it has lost and the corrup tion to which it is destined. The family are secluded from the eye of the public, the ordinary place of worship is deserted, and the greedy heir himself must restrain his impatience to know the amount of his acquisitions till the grave has closed over the form of their late possessor. If these be the forms and solem nities of a private mourning, how much more faith fully should they be observed when a nation grieves with genuine and unsimulated sorrow for the loss of the greatest of her sons ? So long as those limbs which for our sake have braved every danger from which human nature shrinks back, and ha ve been preserved as if by miracleto . sink in an honoured and mature thought of the old age, remain still uninterred, the mighty dead should be upperm ost i n our hearts, and little space should be left for the jealousies and rivalries of the living. Death has just struck wield his arms no I L a noble prey. Achilles can of Greece are conteno d r i e, and the second-rate heroes warrior before the lastnef for the spoils of the great paid to his memory. unavailing honours have been tory and biography will not forget to record that within four-and-twenty hours after the death of th e ton the heads of the Univerit at Duke of Welling ton of which he was the and deplore the irrepa rable loss which the country U n i vers i ty had sustained, not to consult on the ma that learned body might best show its net in which grief for the man who for 18 years had presided over and her councils, but to consider to whom thresvtatledaineas chair of office might be offered and what measures might be taken for securing the succession. i e preliminary meeting was not unfruitful, for on Friday, just three days after the late honoured Lord and Chancellor of the University had breathed his last, a requisition was framed and signed by Ileads and Fellows of Collges, declaring the Earl of Derby to be eminent'y qualified for the Chancellorship of the University, and inviting all members of Convocation who might be of the same opinion to join in a request to his Lordship that he would allow himself to be put in nomination. It would be too much to expect that where a Prime Minister is concerned, the honour to the dead, or self-respect of the living, would be allowed to restrain the burning zeal of this learned and enthusiastic body. Many reasons combine to make the Earl of Derby the natural choice of a large number of the resident members of the University of Oxford. The maxim " Blessed be each man pos sessed of aught to give" is nowhere more cordially recognised than in our ancient seats of learning. The man who can make the Head of a College into a Bishop, a Tutor into the Head of a Hall, or a Master of Arts into a fat rector, has more virtues than meet the eye---more capabilities than a superficial observer can detect, and is the object of a hero worship more sincere and unfaltering than that which waits on mere virtue and merit. In their zeal to fling themselves at the feet of the Premier the Oxonian magnates had no time to think of the glorious past or solemn present of their Chancellor. Their thoughts, their aspirations, were all for the future. The dead might bury their dead, the living, especially those who live by patron. age, must look to the living. Besides these very ob vious individual motives, there was another cause at work, sufficient alone to have driven the remem brance of the Duke of Wellington from the minds of the resident Oxford electors. The report of the recent Commission threatens the University with changes which the routine and obstructive spirit of the place regards with aversion and terror. We are told that the great Duke had arrived within a few pages of the end of this report, and we cannot doubt that his clear and masculine intellect yielded an assent to many of the propositions it maintains and enforces, never, unhappily, destined to be carried into action. Escaped from the danger of a reforming Chancellor, the last chance for avoiding the dreaded changes was to link the fate of the University to one who, like Lord Derby, had political power to protect her from improvement, and like him, would be willing to per petuate any abuse whose existence gave power to himself or stability to his Government. With such an object in view, with no less an end to attain than the enlisting the Premier in defence of University abuses, it was only natural that the respect due to the mighty dead should be forgotten and the canvass for a new Chancellor should commence when the frame of the old one was scarcely cold in the glorious repose well earned by eighty years of labours and battles. The same indecorous haste which spurred on the ap plication to the Earl of Derby has pervaded the other arrangements of the clique who have already given away the highest honour which the University has to bestow. We are informed that the day of election for the new Chancellor is already fixed for the 12th of October. A wish is also expressed that the Uni versity may be spared the annoyance and trouble cf a contest. The friends of Lord Derby have been so unscrupulous as to mature and carry out their mea sures within less than a week from the death of the Duke of Wellington, and they claim as the reward of their questionable diligence the ri g ht to g ive away the highest position in the University without contest and without question. The case has been settled while the rest of the University have been engaged in counting up the services and regretting the irreparable loss of the greatest man who has ever filled, or who will ever fill, the presidential chair of the Sheldonian theatre ; and it were surely hard to disappoint those indefatigable personages who knew how to employ these precious moments so much better than in vain regrets and unselfish contemplations. It is, however, quite possible that the mea sures by which a small knot of resident seniors have contrived to nominate a Chancellor for the University may provoke the very opposition it is in tended to forestall. The appointment of the 12th of October as the day of election, which might have been so easily postponed till the meeting of the Colleges, has too much the air of an attempt to withhold the franchise from the resident electors to be allowed to pass wishout censure and without resistance. The younger Masters of Arts, for the most part now absent from Oxford on their vacation ramble , will e apt to consider that they have as good a right a b s their resident seniors to form an opinion on a subject s o momentous to the University and themselves. They will be disposed to ask what a re t he qualifications, beyond those of high ran k a nd large official patro nage, which render the Earl o f Derby a prize to be secured at the price of so much jockeyship a n d so much indecorum. The keen pursuit o f politics on all sides in turn and a party devotion to the pleasures of the turf are not such para mount recommendations as to necessitate such hasty measures, and it is possible that singly to the good of the University those who look where a nobleman whose pursuits might find else' s fit him far better for theand whose taste s duties. Without anticipatin discharge of academical of gor prejudging Y those who may come forward at the reqilsthosf:those members of the Univeritbeen invaded by the indecorousY resi dents, it occurs to us that thereaste a re many men in favourable Whoseh offregebiseenior this land whose pretensionsould bear a comparison with those of'th place and patronage. W e commend the subjent to the Premier in all except the consideration of Oxford, varsity will assert and hope that the U_ in decision, even though the be driven into its aotwurne freedom of action, and not a pr f e L m hasty supporters oL ord Derby may lose somewhat of the merit of exercising in his behalf the patronage of the Chancellorship . DAILY NEWS. --Lord John Russell when pro s ling an e laborate eulo g ium on the nouncing nintirton s aid :—" Perhaps lam the more Duke of 1; e t W hat I have done because there justified in sa g iegg few, pe rhaps there w ere no, p ersons, exce p t the were M late Lord e lbourne and myself , who can bear this th a t however he (the Duke) might differ testimony-- in political sentiments with the person who held the c hief office in the political service of the State, he was as v eining, as ready, as forward in giving every assist ance that he thought for the benefit of his country, to one who differed in political opinions, as he would have been to the dearest of his political friends." This is, indeed, high praise—praise, the value of which is infinitely increased, when coming from the mouth of a political opponent. But few persons know so well as the Whig leader the value of the influence which the Duke exercised. The House of Peers is notori ously behind the age in its knowledge of the signs of the times. Nevertheless, it may be affirmed of mem bers of this order that however they may be b e l ow the level of general public intelligence, they are often practically willing to recognise the realities of their position. Conscious that they were themselves unable to collect sufficient materials to form lucid jud gmen t s upon great q uestions, many of them--for instance — threw themselves unreservedly upon the great prac tical common sense of the Duke. Often and often has his Grace had in his pocket enough votes to give a majority in the House of Peers. He has had —it is known —as many as sixty proxies confided to him. The Duke of Wellington by his death has thus sur rendered the keeping of some sixty consciences, which DR. CIIL VERWELL'S NEW WORK,.

Lord John Russell can well understand the loss that many " hereditary legisla tors" have sustained. c It is truly a matter of serious to know w h at the Upper House will do without the Duke. He bad the same power over a large number of volatile subj ects as Virgil ' s 'loins had over the winds submitted to his care. He was placed, like the classical go d , hi gh above hi s roving subjects. He held his sceptre firmly. He alone could soothe their minds . and temper their wrath. He, like /Eolus, knew his subjects well, and felt certain that but for him they would sweep over the political heaven and earth, over the court and the nation, and create a tumult which they would have no power to put down. Where is the Neptune in the House of Lords, who, as in Virgil's fable, will lift his placid head above the troubled waters, and bring the jarry elements to re pose ? Let us remember, when we endeavour to speculate upon what will be the future conduct of the House of Lords with regard to the great questions that will come before it in the next session, that a sixty-vote Moderator is gone. Oae broad feeling of sympathy, which was sufficient to produce a certain unity of action amongst very discordant elements, has vanished. The House will be split up into parties, without having any definite principle to guide them. They will have all the mechanism of an integral portion of the constitution, but they will want a motive power they long relied on. Heine tells a story of an automatic man, constructed by an inge nious Englishman, which, by the means of a com plex arrangement of springs, performed all the ordi nary functions of humanity. It would have passed muster as a genuine specimen of the human race amongst any assembly. Nevertheless, the automaton had just sense enough to know its own defect. It found out, alas ! that it had no soul, and it set to work forthwith to tease its creator to give it the grand desideratum. It followed the unfortunate artist all through the world with the reiterated request, " Give me a soul." The House of Lords will be in the pre dicament of Heine's automaton. The only difference will be that it has lost what the automaton never had. The Tory members have lost the soul of their body ; and we know not, however loudly they may cry, where they will get another. It would be difficult to point out any other class which is characterised by such features of hopeless mediocrity as the Tory party in the present louse of Peers. With respect to ourselves, we have nothing to fear from that body. Its power for mischief has been long since neutralised, and its power for good has been diminished by the death of the D u k e. With Lord D er b y th e case is different. He may find to hi s cos t th a t a House of Peers without a ruling spirit powerless in its effect nation —be a i terrible upon the may—although a Minister. may anticipate with a tolerable terr thorn in the sides of i Ise m cer tainty an anti-Derby party,his colleagues in the other House play look for as the result of the sins of regard to Protec tion.

TREATMENT of the ENGLISH ABROAD. Another instance, says the Leicestershire Mercury, has just come to our knowledge of the growing inso lence displayed by the despotic Powers of the Conti nent towards Englishmen residing within their sway. The present case, too, is all the more startling because it has not occurred either in France, Italy, or Aus tria. Saxony is the kingdom which is now striving to share the unenviable and disgraceful notoriety hitherto only attaching to the Governments of those countries. Dresden, its capital, is the place of all others chosen for the first overt avowal of adhesion to the unholy alliance of the second half of the nineteenth century. And the party who is the first victim to this spreading absolutist hatred of the very name of an Englishman is one in whom we naturally feel an interest—both from his connexion with this locality, and from his early services on behalf of Hungarian nationality and independence. We allude to Dr. Paget, author of the well-known work on " Hun gary and Transylvania." This gentleman, as many of our readers are aware, after leaving Leicester, went to reside in Dresden. There he was leading a very quiet life, and, as he imagined, a life of security as well as peace. Sud denly, on the 2d of this very month, September, his house was visited by a party of police, who seized and carried off all his letters, MS. note-books, diaries and a considerable number of books. The British Minis ter, Mr. Forbes—for England has a duly accredited and acknowledged representive at the Court of Saxony —was, we learn, very indignant at this outrage. He at once called upon the Saxon Minister of Foreign Affairs for an explanation of such extraordinary con duct, and, we should imagine, likewise demanded the restoration of the books and papers so seized. The most perfect ignorance and innocence were pleaded by this functionary. Believe it who may, neither he nor the Minister of the Interior knew anything—so they averred—of this most flagrant outrage. From them nothing could be learned, and Dr. Paget was left utterly in the dark as to what could be the pretext for such an unexpected and arbitrary proceeding. Whether the documents and property thus carried off have been returned, we have not heard. We cannot think that the British Minister would, on any ac. count, suffer them to be detained after he had once moved in the matter, unless some clear and indispu table justification of their seizure co u ld be shownand proved. That, from all we know of Dr. John Paget, we feel persuaded could not be done. No act can have justified the ,Saxon Government int treating of his can inis g him in this manner; and we trust that outrage becomes know n , there will be ,suwchheann the l i ex pression of opinion up on the subject th roug h ou t the country, as shall stim u l a t e, i f not compel, reactionary Government to in • e ven cause quire into the r e a l and sources of this domiciliary We use the word ,4 visit.

We shall look with great anxiety to see W hat will be t h e course of our Government in t his affair. Their conduct, whatever it be, will give no u nimportant indication of their future foreign policy, now that the great warrior, to whom the Tory party professed to look up with so much reve rence, almost approaching to awe, has been summoned to his final rest. THE PRINCE PRESIDENT_and his CHOICE OF A BRIDE.

And then, said Alexander Dumas, who was tho magnetiser, "Henry the Fifth will marry some Russian or German Princess;" to which the girl replied, " No, Henry the Fifth will say, I have returned to France b y the w ill of the French people, a nd I win marry a girl of the people." lie will say, "Go to the Faubourg Saint Martin, No. 42, and there you will find a young girl who, when I entered Paris, was seated on a stone dressed in white , , and havine. a green branch - in her hand.
