The State documents, ho said, might be entrusted to persons on the responsibility either of the Director or of the Minister who had deposited them. After the lapse of a certain time they might even be destroyed. • The archives contained nearly 129 million files. When the correspondence of Napoleon was published it was necessary to refer to a number of papers under the respon sibility of Marshal Valiant. They were removed from the archives, but afterwards returned. M. de Keratry had spoken of twenty-eight documents indispensable to history. The Minister, in reply, said that there were formerly many family documents in the archives which have been restored to their owners. For instance in 1848 the papers of the Orleans' family were found in the Tuileries, and only those of historical Interest were deposited in the Archives. The same discretion had not been exercised with regard to the documents be' o aging to the family of Napoleon I, and it was right to make restitution. M. Richard then read the decree ordering the restoration of thirty-five private letters. It was countersigned Rouher and Valliant. This decree had not been pub lished, because it was useless in such a case. Those papers had been removed in due course from the archives, and he (the Minister) had no., power to obtain their restoration. With regard to the Boulogne papers, he thought they were complete. They had been lent, but returned. One portfolio had been given out on the demand of Marshal Valiant. He might order the return of that portfolio, but, on his own responsibility, he should not do it. M. de Keratry; upon hearing this explanation, rose full of indignatiolind declared that the ministerial reply was comprised in Two phrases. Some of the missing documents had been returned and others would not be returned. He was surprised at such a reply from a parlia mentary Cabinet, which was following the example of personal Government. The decree had never been published. The Ministry knew well enough how to enforce the law against the citizens, but it could not enforce it against the head of the State. They were not a Parliamentary Ministry but a Ministry of the Court. M. Keratry proceeded to even stronger language, which called upon him the rebuke of the President, and M. Richard, in reply, asked him how public docu ments were to be useful to historians if they were to be communicated to no one. The whole matter, he added, had been decided before the accession of the present Cabinet to office. M. Keratry would have resumed, but the President insisted upon proceeding to the order of the day.

The Mforme has published an article in which (. Flourens gives an explanation of the proceedings on Monday. He says that M. Rochefort and himself were to attend a reunion at the Salle de la Marseillaise, and that 112 went there at eight o'clock. The first sOaker had scarcely commenced his address when the noise outside made them aware of the attempt of the police to arrest their deputy. He therefore declared to the assembly that it was their duty to resist the authorities and prevent the execution of their project. He seized the commissary •f police, and enjoined him to make no resistance and on no account to call for the aid of the police agents. He then marched out with his friends, and for three hours they kept possession of a faubourg of Paris. They formed barricades, and M. Flo irens then begged one of his friends to conduct the commissary of police to a safe spot. Unfortunately, their other friends were not informed of their intention, and did not join them in sufficient numbers; they remained,therefore, without arms. In order to procure them they went to the Theatre de Belleville and demanded the concierge to deliver up the arms that were in the place. In this place M. Flourens and his friends were *early caught, and with some difficulty escaped. In returning to the faubourg they had quitted they found the police agents with sword in hand pursuing their friends who were unarmed ; three police agents rushed at Flourens. He was unarmed, but contrived to defend him self with some difficulty, when all at once some police officers appeared on the scene in pursuit of a band of fugitives, and those who were attacking. Flourens joined in the 'aide, by which means he escaped observation. In a short time he found an asylum in the house of a friendly workman, and was hardly within doors when the street was in possession of the municipal guard, on foot and on horseback. After a while Flourens passed on to the house of another friend, and, finding that there was no more work to be done for that night, he relinquished the idea of joining his friends. At six o'clock the next morning the police went to his house, where they did not find him. He was accused •f inciting others to revolt, of seizing a commissary of police, of uttering seditious cries, and of inducing the people to commit crimes and offences against the law. They took possession of his papers and all his correspon dence,in which DI. Flourens declares they can find nothing of a nature to compromise him. CEYLON LEARNING.—An official report oy the Government Inspector of Schools in Ceylon contains some amusing examples of the learning (or ignorance) of the rising generation; for instance, one young man gravely says that " Milton was a poet who lived in the present . .. century, and who has been very much esteemed by many people for being an excellent poet ;" another, in answer to a question about Lord Bacon, says, " Before Bacon the people of England were not so well acquainted with the subject (what subject he does not tell us), because this was the first person who taught people how to do it (what, again, he does not tell us) ;" a third shews a specimen of ignoratio clenchi and bad grammer, too, by g ravely asserting that " the changes of monsoons and weather has (sic) recently taken place in the territorial extent of the Austrian Empire." But perhaps the most amusing blunder of all is to be found in the following explanation of the -- ---- -- -- - historical allusion in a well-known poem of Tennyson, where the " oak" is spoken of : "Wherein the younger Charles abode, . Till all the paths were dim, And far below the Roundhead rode • And hummed a surly hymn." This allusion refers to Milton. He was honoured by Eng land and was dear to England as an oak tree was. He is said to have lived in the reign of young Charles, in an age when literature had not flourished much. He is said to have sung hymns in the Road to Roundhead!" THE DISCOVERY IN PALESTINE.—A. discovery like that of the Moabite Stone has not been made for many a long day. Mr. E. Deutsch, in a letter to Mr. Grove, Secretary of the Palestine Exploration Fund, gives the following account of the inscriptioh The document starts with the words, I, Mesha, son of Ch . . Whether this be the Mesha, who, driven at bay by the three allied armies of Judah, Israel, and Edom, sacri ficed his son to save his country, or not, I cannot yet determine ; but there is no special reason against the assumption. A king of Mesha's prowess might have spoken of his doings as prominently as is done on this monument. And, what is of much greater weight, the character of the writing, which, in default of a better word, we must atill call 'Phoenician,' looks even older than that of many of the Assyrian (Meso potamian) bilingual cylinders in the British Museum, the date of which is, at the very least, as old as the ninth century 8.C., the time of this Biblical Mesha. It is, indeed, the palaeographical part of the document which at present seems paramount. Apart from the very primitive character of the whole alphabet as it hero occurs, there is one letter, (the Kaph) which, to my knowledge, is found on no other Semitic remnant in this peculiar Moabite' shape. Next to this point ranks always for the present the Geographical importance of this record. There start up with absolute clearness such names as Beth- Bamoth, Beth-Baal-Meon, Horonaim, Dibon, well-known Biblical cities, either situate in Moab (` the names whereof were changed by the Israelites,' whence their variations), or temporarily held by Moab. These places among others, King Mesha on this stele boasts of having `built.' Indeed, the words I built' occur so frequently that they form welcome landmarks to the decipherer. Besides, these places which occur in the Bible, I find Karkha' which I venture to identify with Kerek, the later name of the whole country, also the name of a hamlet still in existence. But apart from this, mention is also made repeatedly of " Israel," the rival, often hostile power, and " Chemosh," the nstional God of Moab. Let this suffice now. The historical as well as the linguistic purport of this find are both so startlingly obvious that nothing need be added at present. I would only bog to urge on your committee the expediency of leaving no means untried to get possession of as much of this unique Moabite relic as may survive." In spite of the very reticent tone of his letter in Thurs day's Times, Mr. Deutsch allows it to appear that we have here thg very oldest Semitic, monumeme .4 moment ever ,und.
