Live cliiniber t is always the anne—at least in tbit- , ,e &yrs of still-slontieuell atimiztigtratiue pure teutst: Constitutional Ministers who have forgotteß their Constitutionalism. First we hear of great Republican victories in Paris. The voters of the capital overturn Imperialist candidates and put "Nons " in the ballot-box with equal fidelity and persistence. But no sooner has the inexperienced reader begun to delude himself with the notion that things are going badly with the Seeond Empire than the results of the battle in the northern departments, reverse the aspect of affairs. The issue in, a few great towns exhausts the Republican strength. The returns from the rural districts flow in with monotonous uniformity ; official candidates and " Ouis " are in overwhelming majority; and soon ti , e Republican victories in the capital, Lyons, Marseilles, and a few other places weigh as nothing in the balance against the en masse Imperialism of the rustics. Paris this time has been faithful to its old traditions, though the majority against the Emperor is lent striking than at the last general election. With other trivial exceptions the result has been pretty much what was expected. The ruler has not of course gained the crushing superiority-7,439,216 to 640,737—which raised him to the throne iu 1852. The events of December are not so fresh now as then; there is no military terrorism in 1870 as there was eighteen years ago; and the French pe cple, moreover, have made great 'progress in intelligence and the desire for political freedom. The grand coups of the two last pldbiscites could not be repeated on this occasion. But the hold of the Government on the rural dis tricts is still so firm, the former 011ivier Ministry retain so many of the arts of administrative pressure employed by Rouher and his contemporaries that no one could entertain a doubt of the universal suffrage dummy doing its appointed duty once more. And it has done it. The issue does not strike us as remarkably triumphant, for the abstentionists must be counted with the "Noes" against the Emperor, and the adverse minority thus becomes very respect able. Nevertheless there is a clear majority of "Yeas." The only question is—to what good ? What practical end is served by this marching of the wretched rustics in a body to the ballot-boxes ? The Plebiscite of 1852 was a plea for ascending the throne, and the Pleliiscite of 1870 is a plea for keeping it; but Napoleon would not have won a crown then, nor will he keep it now, without more substantial! assistance. It cannot be said that this vote, any more than the last, affirms the Bonaparte dynasty in the possession of its splendid acquisition. No Plebis cite will restrain the Republicans from preaching Socialism, nor the Orleanists from quietly waiting their time. The vote does not even permanently fix the Constitution, for there is not a Liberal politician in France who will not continue to strive for greater concessions than are yielded in the programme which has just come from the Senate. The vote of the people in fact amounts to nothing more than a vote of the Legislature,' save that the Emperor has been able to display 'much more of his own authority in bringing it about. For the pleasure of reminding the French nation that his absolute power is yet far from extinct, Napoleon 111. has coasted general distrust amongst his most moderate ) and therefore most valuable, supporters, and has cast discredit on parliamentary government at the very time when he is professing conversion to its principles. It would have been all very well if this national vote had been a last application of the principle by which the Empire was formed, previously to beginning afresh with parliamentary government. But the right of appeal to the nation is retained a permanent portion of the Constitution. Thus thq Emperor both keeps this prerogative, and has clearly intimated his intention of making use of it, by putting it in practice now. That parliamentary government should prosper with the easily manageable vote of an ignorant populace hanging over its head, and ready to undo at any moment its most de liberate resolves, is preposterous: 'Under constitutional rule an appeal to the people can be only an appeal from the Legislature. The two are incompatible. Either the plebiscite Ouse in the Constitution will become an acknowledged do ad letter, or parliamentary government itself will. The most noticeable feature of the proceedings in the Hoase of Commons last evening was the remark able progress made in connection with the Irish Land Bill. As soon as the House went into Com mittee on that measure, at about five o'clock, it was evident that there was a determina tion to dispose of the amendments in the various clauses with as much rapidity as pos sible. For about seven hours the Committee were engaged in debating the several propositions, and whilst each amendment was fully discussed, there was an entire absence of anything like captious oppo• sition. After the division on Mr. CORRANCE'S amend ment the attendance became very thin, but improved between nine and ten. We noticed but three sleepers -luring the time the bill was being considered. Clause 16th was omitted, after a division. Progress was reported at a few minutes past twelve, and the House resumed. Several orders having been disposed of the Marquis of HARTINGTON, who spoke for about an hour, rose to ask leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to the procedure at Parliamentary elections. He proposed to abolish nominations as now practised, to adopt the ballot 4ystem, to render illegal the hiring of rooms at public honees, except when the candidate should address a meeting of.the electors, and to treat 011 payments not put in the return of expenses as corrupt payments. After some discussion, leave was given to intro duce a measure, and the House adjourued at two o'clock. In view of the visit of the Princess Louise to the Inner Temple, on the occasion of the opening of its new hall, a battalion order was yesterday issued from the Colonel of the Inns of Court Volunteers, in reference to providing a guard of honour for her Royal Highness. Last night, the Right Hon. Sir William Bovill, Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, pre sided at a dinner party given at the Albion Hotel, Alders gate-street, in aid of the funds of the public dispensary in Stanhope-street, Clare-market. A report was read by the secretary of the progress made since the last festival in 1866. A subscription of nearly £3OO was announced. • 40e. 1 . • s l -' The death Of George Horatio Cholmondeley, second Marquis, is announced. He died at noon on Sun day at Cholmondeley, Cheshire, after a long illness. A. tramway was opened yesterday in East London from Bow Church to Whitechapel Church. The carriages were found to be far superior to the ordinary omnibuses. THE EASTER. MONDAY REVIEW. Geheral Sir James Yorke Scarlett's report on the Easter Monday re view has been issued this morning. He gives great praise to all engaged in the sham fight, and says the march poet was highly creditable. The Duke of Cambridge, in for warding the reports to Mr. Cardwell, expresses' his satis faction with the day. _ _ A permissive meeting was held in the Dome Assembly Room, Brighton, last night. Resolutions calling upon the Legislature to deal with the liquor traffic, and in support of the Permissive Prohibitory Liquor Bill, were passed. A petition was adopted in favour of Sir Wilfred Lawton's bill. Phillips, the American official, arrested several week since at Queenstown, charged with forgery and em bezzlement, was discharged yesterday, no reply having been received to a telegram sent to New York, on Friday, to ascertain the nature of the evidence on which his extra dition was demanded. The magistrates deemed that the dilatory proceedings of the authorities at New York evinced either inability or reluctance to prosecute, and de clined to detain the prisoner longer in custody. Seven hundred pounds in gold, seized on him, was returned. A crowded meeting, composed chiefly of the working classes, was held last night at Leeds, to consider the edu cation question. The mayor presided. Mr. Lloyd Jones and Mr. Odger were the principal speakers. Resolutions condemning the Government measure as calculated to lead to party strife by perpetuating the denominational system, and advocating the establishment of free unsectarian schools, the attendance to be compulsory, were adopted. LONDON, TUESDAY, iIIAY 10. 1870. According to announcement THE SUN resumes its position to-day among the London journals a 3 Morning Newspaper. A quarter of a century has very nearly elapsed since it appeared thus day by day both morning and evening. It so appeared within our own recollection and experience. But it reappears now as a morn ing publication, under very altered circum stances. Published henceforth at One Penny, it addresses a wider public, its issue being thereby rendered compatible with the largest circulation. Published as its earliest edition is, moreover, at 8 o'clock a.m., it is enabled to present its readers with four hours' later intelligence than any other of the morning papers. Besides which, the extraordinary ex pansion recently of that wonderful telegraphic system which has sprung into existence, since the former career of THE SUN as a morning newspaper, enables us, in common with our contemporaries, to hold communication now with the ends of the earth, obtaining information with the utmost rapidity from the leading capitals of the four Continents, as well as from all parts of the United Kingdom. It will be sufficient if we here repeat, in the words of the closing announcement in our prospectus, that the principles upon which THE SUN has hitherto been conducted for a long series of years will be consistently maintained, the Editorial management remaining in the same hands as hitherto. A most remarkable communication has, within the last few hours, been addressed to the Lord High Chancellor by the most brilliant Judge upon the Bench, the very one whom so many members of the legal profession especially were disappointed not to see raised to the woolsack on the formation of the present Government. The subject upon which Lord HATHERLEY has been addressed by the Lord Chief Justice of England, relates to those daring and comprehensive measures for the remodel ling of the Judicial System of England introduced by the Chancellor with a view to the carrying into effect of the scheme sketched out by the now historical Judicature Commission. Against that scheme, it is true, the venerable Lord ST. LEONARDS has prto nounced very emphatically, speaking of it with undisguised scorn as one involving less fusion than confusion. Naturally enough, as being of a younger and more adventurous school, Sir ALEXANDER COCKBURN avows, in regard to the very project thus reprobated by the aged ex-Chancellor ST. LEONARDS, an opinion quite as clearly pro nounced, but altogether different. Precisely in the same spirit as Lord CAMPBELL'S Act of 1840, for according to the Common Law Courts something like equitable jurisdiction, wee sup ported by the Lord Chief Justice of England, sad opposel by Lord ST. LEONARDS—so does the latter now set his face against the scheme submitted to the Legislature by Lord HATHERLEY, a scheme of which Sir ALEXANDER COCKBURN avows himself to be one of the most strenuous supporters. What the Lord Chief Justice wants, however, is the Bill as originally produced, in its integrity, not the Bill as it has since been modified, and as he conceives anything but satis factorily modified. Restore it to its original terms, he says to Lord HATHERLEY, and you have my best wishes for its success. As the measure now stands it has certainly been modified anything but advantageously. One objection, especially, raised by the Lord Chief Justice, to a very conspicuous modification in the Bill, commands at once, we will confess, our very heartiest concurrence. It arises out of tbe amend ment, according to which the QUEEN in Council is proposed to be aided by a committee composed of the Lord High Chancellor and the Chancellor of the Exchequer (!), together with such members of the Council as they may together deem it advisable to consult with a view to the framing of the rules, the arranging of the orders, and the general distribution of business Reasonably enough, as we conceive, the Lord Chief Justice denounces any such an arrangement as directly sub versive of judicial independence, and as calculated perniciously to place Her MAJESTY'S Judges under the control of Government. The objection raised by the Lord Chief Justice to the subordination of the authority of the Court of Queen's Bench to the authority of the Court of Chancery, appears to us, we are almost tempted to say, little less than frivolous. Amalgamate or fuse the judicature of the country, and a specious objec tion of that kind might always be ob truded with a show, but with nothing more than the merest show of reason. As a matter of course, the Lord Chancellor, here as elsewhere, takes precedence of all the other judicial authorities, the blending together or the knitting together, as now proposed, of law and equity, rendering this pre eminence of the Chancellor only a trifle more conspicuously apparent. As to the au thority of the Lord Chief Justice of England being swallowed up by that of the Lord High Chancel lor, Sir ALEXANDER COCKBURN, as it seems to us, if; alarming himself altogether superfluously. Our one regret is that, in the arrangement of the mea sure now before the Legislature, as originally proposed by Lord HATHERLEY, and as subsequently modified, here and there we cannot but concur with the Lord Chief Justice in thinking most mistakenly, in obedience to urgent pressure from with out—our one particular regret is that an authority of such eminence as Sir ALEX ANDER COCKBURN has not been directly, and earnestly, and systematically consulted. Con strained by the fervour of his convictions to obtrude his opinions on this matter upon the conaider4- tion of the Lord Chancellor and, through tLe Lord Chancellor, upon the Councils of the Legislature, we cannot but hope that the views avowed thus, with admirable perspicuity and, in several instances, with irresistible force of reasoning, will have, both with the Government and with Parliament, that full weight and authority which they ought from the first to have commanded. THE returns of the polling at the Plebiscite in France are merely matters of curiosity. Everybody has foreseen the inevitable result; the Administration would never have tried the experiment unless they were certain of a large majority; and a f ew hundred thousand on this side or the other of the great waves of universal suffrage can make little difference. The progress of a vote of the French nation, whether it be a vote upon a constitution, or the election of a representa- HER MAJESTY. WINDSOU CASTLE, May 10. Her Majesty drove out this raorkiag.

The Meuse. states that 20 persons wero killed, but, according to the Organ de Namur, 27 lives have been saerilded and 40 persons are injured. ITA LI. FLORENCE, May 9, Evening. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies Signor Lanza gave explanations respecting the events in Catanzaro. On Saturday morning an insurrectionary band made 1 s appearance at Maida, and the necessary measures were Immediately adopted by the authorities. More than 300 eitisess, including Menotti Garibaldi, went armed to the residence of the Prefect, offering to assist in attacking the band. Signer Lanza warmly eulo gized the spirit displayed by the eitieens, and his remarks were received with loud cheering by the Chamber. He proceeded to state that the insurgents, who numbered from 200 to 300 men, were attacked yesterday by the troops, and, after a short combat, were routed, leaving behind several dead and wounded. Two soldiers were &so 'minded. The band was dispersed, the fugitlves -flying towards Reggio, SA d a despatch from that place announces that the tnhabitints are firmly determined to pursue them. The names of the chiefs of the movement are RA present un known, nor has any information been received as yet respecting the composition of the band—namely, whether it consi&ted of Italians or foreigners. In the Senate Signor Lanza made the same statement as in the Chamber of Deputies respecting the affair In Catanzaro.l Ile nutter announced that a band of 15 persons had appeared in the province of Aquila, but he expresse.t himself confident that this in surrectionary attempt would find no echo in other provinces. The Official Gazette of this evening contains the following:—" The insurgents were yesterday attacked by the troops at Filadelphia, and took to flight, leaving several killed and wounded on the field. The troops had only one man wounded. About 40 young men who intended to join the movement, and had set out for Filadelphia, turned back last night and returned home. The remnants of the band are being vigorously pursued by the troops. The people of Calabria are very well disposed towards the Government, and numerous offers of assistance continue to be sent in to the authorities. AMERICA. NEW YORK, May 9.

THIt BOURBON FAMILY.—The Simultaneous ap- P ear anoe at Vienna of the Count of Pais, the Duke of Chartres, acid the King and Queen of Naples, has given rise to the report that conferences would take place at Frohsdorff, with a view of effecting a reconciliation be tween the different branches of the Bourbon family. It was even hinted that the Count of Chambord would renounce his claims in favour of the Count of Paris, so as to increase the chances of the latter to the throne of France. The Memorial Diplomatique considers the re port to be completely contradicted by the fact that the two Orleans princes merely passed through Vienna on their way to Constantinople, and did not even pay a visit to the Count of Chambord. COUNT POTOCKI AND THE CZECH CHIEFS.—III the interviews which have taken place between Count Potocki and the chiefs of the Czech party, both sides agreed that the concessions which were made to Bohemia should neither alter the Constitution of 1867, nor the arrangements which have been made between the Cis lei%han provinces and Hungary. The centralist press is indignant that this important result should have been a rrived at in so short a time by the present Ministry, while their predecessors could not even persuade the Czech chiefs to enter on any negotiations. The deli, bßrations will be resumed by the middle of the month, when Count Potocki will proceed to Bruin or Prague. CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS. THE BISHOP OF ELY ON UNBELIEF. The Bishop of Ely presided at a meeting of the Church Missionary Society at Cambridge, this afternoon. He traced the apparent decay of missionary effort to the active unbelief which existed in the University and else wgere, and to the stupid, passive indifference which was spreading amongst the people of the large towns. The unbelief of the present day, was developing into pure materialism and the most thorough Atheism. He con sidered this state of things was only temporary, and believed it would soon pass away. COLLISION WITH A LOCOMOTIVE. A spring cart, driven by Mr. William Hambler, farmer, West Melton, and containing three women and a boy, came in collision with a locomotive on the highway at Parngate, near Rotherham, this morning. The locomotive belongs to the Parngate Iron Company. and was used to draw waggon loads of material from one portion of the works to another, crossing the road at the point where the collision occurred. The cart was upset, and, with the horse, dragged some distance. All the occupants were injured to some extent, particularly a married woman, named Hunter, who was near her confinement, and who was pitched upon her head, her knee-cap being also dislocated. Dr. Shirley, Parkgate, was soon in atten dance. Hamber was unable to stop his horse when the signal was given that the engine was approaching the crossing. The coroner's jury at Liverpool to-day returned a ver dict of suicide whilst labouring under temporary insanity, in the case of Captain Cutting, formerly commander of the royal mail steamer Idaho, who shot himself dead on Friday evening last. The man Chesters, who murdered his wife in Liver pool yesterday, was brought up at the police-court to-day and remanded. The Town Council of Beverley resolved yesterday to petition the House of Lords against the passing in that House of the bill for the disfranchisement of the borough. The Vice-Chancellor of the Cambridge University has announced that Mr. Henry Bradshaw, the University Librarian, has presented a valuable collection of books to the libryry, consisting of about one thousand bound volumes, and five thousand other printed papers, relating chiefly to Ireland. At about nine o'clock ,this morning a fatal accident occurred on the London and North-Western Railway, at Great Bridge Station, Staffordshire, to a man named James Peach, 56 years of age, a platelayer. He was cross ing the line when he was accidentally knocked down by some trucks which were being shunted, and killed imme diately. A confectioner named Hawkins was brought before the magistrates at Banbury this morning charged with using abusive language to Mr. Pain solicitor and clerk to the Local Board of Health. It appeared that on several occasions defendant had called Mr. Pain a thief and a rough in the street. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and was fined £l. REPUBLICAN DISTURBANCES IN ITALY. Fresh disturbances are reported in Italy. On Friday some bands, numbering about 300 persons, dressed in red uniforms,. made their appearance in the province of Catanzaro. Their object, it is believed, is to attempt a Republican movement. They are being pursued by the troops, and the authorities have taken measures to prevent any disturbance. In this (a telegram says) they are sup ported by the population, 300 persons having voluntarily offered to assist in maintaining order. Fresh troops have been despatched from Florence as a precautionary measure. The Official Gazette of Saturday confirms the news real tive to the appearance of bands of insurgents in the pro vince of Catanzaro, Southern Italy, and announces that they were formed at Maida. The movement is at present confined to Filadelfia, in the territory of Nicastro. The mayor of that town, with the inhabitants, has offered to assist the Government. LAW ANT) POLICE, IMPORTANT DECISION RESPECTING FREIGHT INSU RANCE.—The Court of Common Pleas gave judgment in the case of " Lee and another v. the Southern Insurance Company." It was a special case stated by an arbitrator, and the action was brought on a policy of insu rance on the freight of a vessel laden with palm oil, which was stranded on the Welsh coast. The cargo was discharged and forwarded to Liverpool by rail, at a cost of £212 Lis.; and the plaintiffs, insurance brokers, demanded from the underwriters of the freight a sum of £152, the estimated cost of forwarding it by sea instead of by land. Th 9 ship was afterwards got off and repaired, and the court held that the plaintiffs could not recover more than seventy pounds, the estimated expense of warehousing the oil and re-shipping it on board the original vessel. THE GAME LAws.—An appea' from the North Riding Sessions has been heard in the Court of Queen's Bench by a person convicted under the Game Act, 1 and 2 William IV., which provides that if any person shall kill or take any game on a Sunday or Christmas Day, he shall be liable to certain penalties. The appellant who held an excise lieense, set some snares on a Saturday. It was not proved that he had been near the snares on Sunday, but a grouse was found in them. The questions raised were whether it was an offence to set snares on a week day, and whether a snare was an " engine " within the meaning of the Act. The Court held that allowing the snares to remain set on a Sunday was an offence against the statute, and the conviction was affirmed. DR. EDMUNDS AND THE LIBEL.—At Marylebone, James Flower has appeared in answer to a summons charging him with publishing a libel on Dr. Edmunds. It will be remembered that Dr. Edmunds was one of the late St. Pancras Board of Guardians, and the libel com plained of was a serio-comic " Chronicle of the City which is called Pancras," criticising the acts of the parochial authorities. It was pla carded in Kentish Town by the defendant, and the summons was taken out. The magistrate thought the whole thing was very much like an electioneering squib, and he doubted whether he ought to send a man to trial on such a charge. As . Dr. Edmunds had elected to seek his remedy by an action in a civil court for the same libel which was published in Will- o' -the-Wisp, he should await the decision of that court, and adjourn the case against Flower sine die. A FATAL QUARREL. -A tin plate worker, named Joseph Reeves, has been committed to Newgate for trial for kill ing his wife in a quarrel. EXTENSIVE CAPTURE OF GANIBLERS.—Thirteen men and boys were brought up at the Clerkenwell Police Court, charged with gambling in the streets. A mob of between two and three hundred men and boys were gambling in Cambridge-street, Agar Town, and as the nuisance had become very great to the inhabitants, the police made a raid, and the prisoners were captured. Four of the de fendants were discharged, but the others, much to their surprise, were sent to prison for seven days, without the option of a fine. THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE.—Another application has been made in Judges' Chambers in the case of Padwick v. the Duke of Newcastle, when two questions were discussed, and as to a feigned issue, and one as to whether the trial was to be postponed until after the House of Lords had decided the appeal on the part of the duke. Mr. Tidy, for Mr. Padwick, said it might be two years before the House of Lords decided the appeal, and Mr. Padwick objected to being kept out of his money. Mr. Baron Pigott, after some discussion, made an order as to the feigned issue, and said the question of prstponement would be open to further consideration on the question of security. It was time the case was put into a proper train for settlement. MISTAKING A WIFE.—An elderly man, named Women, of respectable appearance, was brought up at Marlborough-street on a curious charge. He had watched and followed and threatened a young woman, named Hayward, whom he believed to be his wife, but who refused to acknowledge him. He called several witnesses, including his wife's sister, but they all gave evidence against him, declaring the young woman was a stranger to him. The defendant said he knew his wife by her having two false front teeth, but the young woman's teeth were all sound. The magis trate, after expressing his surprise at the defendant's obstinacy, required him to find bail for six months. ' MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—The May General Sessions of • the peace for the county of Middlesex was opened at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell-green, before Sir W. H. Bodkin, Assistant Judge, Mr. Serjeant Cox, Deputy Assistant Judge, and the following magis trates :—Mr. H. H. Harwood, Dr. Jervis, Mr. Twenty man, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Reeves, Mr. Murray, Mr. Cox, Mr. Elson, Capt. A. Palliser, Mr. B. Sharp, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Baxter, Sir James Tyler, &c. The calendar is rather lighter than usual, there being only 68 prisoners for trial (exclusive of bail cases), including 58 charges of felony and 10 of misdemeanour. No . cases of interest were dealt with. BREACH OF PROMISE.—The case of Frost v. Knight, for breach of promise, has been concluded in the Court of Exchequer. It will be remembered that the defendant promised to marry the plaintiff on the death of his father, and the defence was that the father not being dead the plaintiff could not sue the defendant for breach of promise.—The Court took time to consider its judg ment. TFIE LIVERPOOL TRAMWAY COMPANY.—A motion was heard before Sir R. Malins for an injunction to restrain the Liverpool Road and Railway Omnibus Company from running on the tramways belonging to the Liverpool Tram_ way Company. It appeared that th e d e f en d an t s h a d a lt ered the wheels of their omnibuses to fit the plaintiff's tram _ ways. The Vice-Chancellor held there had been a clea. infringement of the plaintiff's right, and granted the in junction asked for. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS The Standard says that France has answered the ques tion put to her in the affirmative, but it does not see that the position of the Emperor is strengthened by the Plebiscite. One thing is•clear, that in the capital,. and all the large French cities, the Emperor is getting more and more into disfavour. It is to be hoped that the experiment has been tried for the last time, for France cannot flourish while it is perpetually asked to vote whenever a step is taken in the direction of order. The Telegraph remarks that the Lord Chancellor's bill makes our niany courts of law and equity into one great judicial council. It is a matter of surprise that so vast a reform should have met with subsequent approbation in legal circles, but the measure has just been sharply criti cised by Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, the greatest judg,e of our courts of common law. Nevertheless, Sir A. Cock burn must not be classed as an enemy of the bill, as he is entirely in favour of abolishing the severance between law and equity. It will be necessary . in carrying out the reform to take care lest we swamp, in the more technical and abstract system of equity, the priceless principles of our Common Law. The Times observes that the Emperor's Government came off better at the the Plebiscite than at the last Par liamentary elections ; but there is a serious falling off from the votes he received at the formes Plebiscites. Ano ther significant fact is the voting at one of the Paris barracks, where the noes were 700 against 1,000 ayes , which is the first symptom of disaffection in the array. The Plebiscite was a blunder from first to last, and it will be well if the Emperor will strive to repair his mistake. We cannot help having misgivings as to the breach between classes in France, and between town and country. Must soldiers on the boulevards, and peasants at the pol ling booths be the Emperor's support? A return to the provinces of January is yet possible, and it is for the in terest of all alike that this unlucky plebiscite should be forgotten and forgiven. The Daily News thinks that the bill introduced by the Marquis of Hartington to the House last night is calcu lated to give general satisfaction to Liberals. The ballot is a great Liberal triumph, and its success is due to the efforts of the Liberals. It is not one of those questions which prosper through agitation, and it was only to be won through dint of perseverance. England may •now look forward to peaceful elections, and the constituencies will be enabled to do their duty with no fear of undue influence being exerted. The Post says that the Irish Land Bill has begun to move, and the crisis was over when it reached the fifth clause. It is desirable to avoid placing too much power in the hands of landlord or tenant, and the bill should not render tenants too independent oflandlords who are willing to be just. THE VOTE ON THE PLEBISCITE. The long-looked-for day of the Plebiscite passed over tranquilly throughout France. In Paris where naturally some uneasiness had been felt there was no breach .of the peace, though the excitement was, of course, great, and the people flocked to the bureaus in crowds. The electors succeeded each other in thousands round the ballot boxes where oui and non were tossed in indiscriminately. The people seemed bent on proving that universal suffrage was consistent with order and decency. The citi zens formed themselves into lines and waited patiently their turn at the boxes, and this self control was maintained all day. The number of voters was even greater than was expected, many who had previously resolved on abstention changing their minds on the decisive day, and putting their votes in the boxes. The International agents re quested, it is said, the workmen of the great manufac tories to keep quiet on the day. Whether they did so or Ile, it is certain that the quiet was undisturbed. The Government took the most elaborate precautions. A, council of war was held at the Tuileries on Saturday, and sat from 12 till 3, the whole army of Paris being under arms, ready to march at beat of drum. Marshal Canrobert and all the generals of the Pails division were present at the council. The NB' nisters were fully prepared to act if there had been any occasion, and M. 011ivier, it is reported, passed Saturday night at the Prefecture of Police. The Government organs were eager in exhorting all good cititens to vote early in the day, to avoid risk ; and the Pays, in particular, begged the Government to watch the gunsmiths' shops. Meanwhile the official censors have been busy among-the papers. Four Parisian journals, the Siecle, the Avenir National, the Revell, and the Rappel, were simultaneously seized on Saturday, their offence being publishing a false proclamation professing to have been issued by the Emperor in 1848. The proclamation was not new, having been published in a provincial journal some time since. It was then passed over by the Government, but they thought it ad visable to , interfere when it reappeared in the Paris journals at a time when their circulation is enhanced by the Plebiscite. It is thought the Siecle, by no means one of the extreme papers, would have been less harshly dealt with, had not M. Cernuschi, the Italian, who subscribed eight thousand pounds to the anti-Plebiscitary fund, been one of the shareholders. One man has reason to be grateful to the Plebiscite, for a new explanation is now given of the reprieve of the murderer Lathawers, which a few days since puzzled and displeased the public. It appears that it was thought imprudent to risk the assembly of a crowd at the place of execution on the eve of the plebiscite, and as there was an unwil lingness to prolong the man's suspense it was decided to commute his sentence instead of delaying its execution. M. Lermina, who was under trial for reading a libel against the Emperori at a public meeting, has been sen tenced to two years' imprisonment, two years' additional loss of civil rights, and £4OO fine. The police, it is said, consider he is implicated in the complot. On Sunday the Prefect of Police placarded a notice in Parii, which stated that rumours had been propagated in several quarters to the effect that disturbances w ould break out after the verification of the vote. The Prefect informed the inhabitants that prompt measures had been taken to repress any seditious attempt, and invited all good citizens to avoidthose places where seditious attempts might be made. By this means he declared that they would strengthen the hands of the authorities, whose duty it was to maintain order. In Paris the official result was as follows : Noes Ayes In the Department of the Seine : Noes Ayes In the barracks of Prince Eugene the voting was Ayes Noes 7OO This result was of course what was looked for in Paris , and in Lyons the return was equally unfavourable. Lyons which has 79,597 registered voters, gives : Noes 35,769 Ayes 22,294 The returns from Lille shew 65,367 ayes and 13,803 noes. Marseilles, with 76,627 registered voters, has 34,82 9 noes, 18,412 ayes, 866 notes being anulled• Toulouse, with 30,817 votes, has 12,534 noes ; 9,112 ayes. In Bordeaux the ayes have been 18,469, and the noes 10,187. The total result of the vote, so far as known on Mon day morning, was : Ayes ... ... 5,180,000 Noes ... 1,130,000 A later return is as follows : Ayes 6,189,506 Noes 1,315,881 An afternoon return is complete with the exception ° i f twenty-six arrondissements and the vote of the army an u navy and Algeria. The numbers are : Ayes Noes The latest results of the voting, including those re' ceived from Algeria and a part of the army, and only eV cepting five arrondissements of France, give -7,138,000 Ayes. 1,518,000 At eight o'clock last evening numerous groups assembled before the barracks of the Chateau d'Eau and in the Fall' bourg du Temple, and it is stated that an omnibus has been overthrown by a mob in the Belleville quarter. The other parts of Paris are perfectly calm. AFTER THE PLEBISCITUM. The result of the plaisoitum will be formally connnii"i" cated to the Corps L4gislatif on Saturday next, and the Corps L4gislatif will communicate it to the Emperor. At two o'clock in the afternoon the deputies m full dress will meet at the Corps Legislatif , and, amid the roar of cannon from the Invalideet the result of the scrutiny will be proclaimed. The dept ties will take their places in the State coaches, and, with will president and the vice-president at their head, will i drive to the Tuileries, escorted by the mounted guard o f Paris. In the Throne Room of the Palace the Empero r surrounded by his Ministers and the great officers of I . l i household will receive the deputies, and the President i n the name of the nation, will announce "la decisio n adopt& par la France." The Emperor will make a sho r speech and conclude by charging his Ministry to carry to the Senate the " expression of the nation's will. Th is the Ministers in their official robes will proceed to do, riding to the Palace of the Luxembourg with the salt' state as the deputies arrived. The President of the Senn'" will receive the proces-verbal from the hands of M. 011ivier and will register it in the archives where it may be re" ferred to in case of future need. It is eighteen years since a similar ceremony was witnessed in France. THE MALLOW ELECTION. The polling at Mallow took place yesterday mornin At Considerable excitement prevailed, but no disorder. 10 o'clock the following return was issued : Mr. George Waters, Q.C. (Liberal) Mr. Laurence Knox (Conservative) Majority for Waters At noon the poll was— Walers Knox Majority for Waters 8 At the close of the poll it stood as follows : Waters Knox The election was conducted very quietly throfhout, with the exception of one slight disturbance. waters addressed the crowd, promising - startling revelations of practices resorted to on the other side to influence the election.
