L. IIYAM and Co., 86, Oxford-street, although well known to the public, and enjoying an unprecedented share of their confidence, do not think it would be judicious to depart from their usual system, i opening a new Establishment, of pointing out and explaining their capabilities and mode of conducting their business, and likewise the advantages to be derived jiy those who honoar them with their commands. L. lIYANI and Co., BS, Oxford-street, have half a century's experience in business, with unlimited command of capital, and a range of the most extensive establishments in all the principal towns of Great Britain In successful operation, thus presenting advantages of an extraordinary character such as never before were centered in one firm. L. ll] AM and Co., BR, Oxford-street, saw all intermediate profits ; that which they do not manufacture themselves they obtain direct from the first makers. By purchasing in this efficient manner, they effect a saving " in intermediates alone," of at least 20 per cent. L. lIYAM and Co., 56, Oxford-street, have procured for the bespoke dep ,rtment an extensive and choice stock of Parisian and West of England cloths, of every shade, colour, and quality. The new materials for trowscrings comprise plain and fancy doeskins, buckskins, and kerseymeres, suitable either for dress, riding, or walking. They are superb in texture, beautiful in colour, and of the choicest design. L. lIYAM and Co., 8(4 Oxford-street, have selected from the best and most celebrated makers, French, Genoa, and British waistcoat ings, which are remarkably rich, brilliantly varied, of the most unique and novel styles ; in fact, the Pantechnetheca will comprise within itself materials for making gentlemen's attire of every dascrip ti in the first style of art, and unparalleled in tile annals of fashion and economy. L. II VAM and Co., 86,0xford-street, in orde to render the Cutting Department as effective as possible, have engaged cutters of the greatest talents, experience, and acknowleged abilities ; and so satis fied are they of their qualifications and certainty of pleasing, that they give a guarantee to that effect, and, in order to test it, their patrons have at all times the option of returning any garment which may in any manner be disapproved of, though previously seen, approved, chosen, and paid for. L. HYAM and Co., 86, Oxford-street, have elaborately fitted up the departments of clothing for immediate wear with every requisite, both useful and ornamental. Here may be selected, from a stock exceeding 20,0001. in value, eveny description of apparel that talent and ingenuity can devise or invent, consisting of dress and surtout coats, waistcoats, trowsers, juvenile and servants' clothing, &c., at prices that cannot fail to give the most perfect sa tisfaction. L. HYAM and Co., SG, Oxford-street, mark every article in plain, bold, and legible figures, the very lowest selling price, from which no abatement can be made ; consequently insuring a uni form, undeviating, honest principle of business ; and any garment that does not give the most unqualified approbation will be ex exchanged with pleasure, or If preferred, the money will be immedi ately returned.

THE BEST APERIENT and ANTIBILIOUS MEDICINE for general use is FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HE ALTII, which effectually relieves the stomach and bowels by gentle relaxation, without griping or prostration of strength. They remove head-ache, sickness, dizziness, pains in the chest, &c., are highly grateful to the stomach, promote digestion, create appetite, re lieve langour and depression of spirits ; wkile to those of full habit and free livers, who are continually suffering from drowsiness, heavi ness, and singing in the head and ears, they offer advantages that will not fail to be appreciated.

A statement (sent by a correspondent) having appeared in several journals, to the effect that serious injury hiss been sustained By one of the pictures in the Vernon Gallery, in consequence of the culpable negligence of an engraver employed in copying it for tile Art- Journal, The public are requested to see and examine it for themselves; and, if it be possible to tlo so, to discover where and what injury it has sustained. The picture Is No. 29 in the catalogue—the work of Mr. Solamon Hart, R. A. the high prices from which peculiar circumstances they could then command, but that the pinching hour was inevitable, and when he called upon them as their friend to send to Parliament only men on whom they could depend, why Lord George Bentincli was looked upon as a visionary. You did not attend to him, and where are you now ?—(Hear, hear) So it is with this question of the burdens on real pro perty. There is no difficulty about it, but difficulty of detail. You have conquered the principle, and you must leave the details to those who are respon sible for the settlement of such subjects. No doubt it is very inconvenient for the Ministry of this country, from whatever party it may be formed, to have to encounter a question of such magnitude, but the responsibility rests with those particular parties who, by their rash and panic-struck changes of the law, forced you to reconsider your position. Had the repeal of the corn-laws not taken place it is very possible that we might not have created in this country the feeling that now exists against these unjust taxes.—(Hear, bear.) But that only shows gentlemen, the rash, the incoherent, and the amateur manner in which the set tlement of the corn-laws was hurried through the House of Commons, through a House of Commons pledged to support them—(Hear)—when this question of just compensation to you was not at the same time considered. Let us suppose that we may succeed in carrying laws founded on the resolution which has been moved by Mr. Newman and seconded by Mr. Stone. The only tendency of the success, let me remind you, will be this, that you will be put on a footing with your fellow-subjects. That is all that you ask, and all that you will obtain.—(Hear, hear.) But when you fired yourselves in the present day on the same footing as your fellow-citizens you will find yourselves upon a footing of discontent. When you have obtained an equality with your fellow-subjects on this question of taxation, you will find it is an equality of murmuring and dissatisfaction. Having ob tained thatrelief, blended with the multitude, no longer distinguished from the great mass of the community by the privilege of paying taxes from which they are exempt, the agricultural interest ,will still find that all they have obtained by this equality is, that they are companions of a community that are suffering, as they say, under an overwhelming burden of imperial taxation. Now, what are you to do under those circumstances? In my opinion, gentlemen, upon the conduct of the agricultural constituencies in county or in borough —upon their conduct with reference to this great question of relief from general taxa tion the future of this country depends.—(Cheers.) And, therefore, in this society, at this moment, and under these circumstances, called upon to-day to consider the depression of your industry, and the measures calculated to relieve it, the most important subject for us to consider is, what course you will take with respect to general relief from imperial tax ation.—(Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, in the first place, I would beg you to consider that there is no man, I apprehend, in this room who can suggest the repeal of any tax which could for a moment be looked upon as just compensation for the protective policy you have lost.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) It is possible that some person might rise and with diffi culty fix upon one tax the repeal of which might afford some colourable relief in a very slight degree in some particular county or locality. That is the most he can do. At the first glance, therefore, you will observe that the agricultural interest are not in a position to join in the clamour for are peal of taxes until they have ascertained what are the taxes the repeal of which will be a compensation to them for the protection they have lost, what are the taxes that will give to the farmer remunerative prices, and maintain and increase the wages of the tabourer.—(Cheers.) You may be hurried on in a moment of passion, and find yourselves mortified, and justly mortified, by the treacherous conduct you have already experienced from men in power.—(Hear, hear.) Take my word for it, that it is the most see rious moment in your lives, and upon which the fate A* that noble industry which most of you practice de oends, if you rashly, inconsiderately, and passionately join in schemes for the repeal of taxes which will not benefit you, though they may benefit others that are opposed to you. Now, then, if at the first blush the igricultural interest can have no fair prospect of ge eeral relief from the repeal of taxes, let us inquire with what face the manufacturing interest, or even the commercial interest, can come forward and say that in consequence of their suffering they demand a repeal of the imperial taxation of the country ? Remember ;hat for some years past the whole legislation of this country has been conducted in deference to the flecal principles and the financial policy of the inanufec uring and commercial interests. Ten years ago I neard the most eminent leaders of the manufacturing interest repeatedly assert that if we repealed the corn laws they could beat the world. Well, the Minister of that day was not prepared to repeal the corn laws. lie made what is called "a great experiment." Now, I will tell you what Sir R. Peel meant by " a great experiment." It was not really the common pretext that by diminishing the duties on imports you night increase consumption. The " great experi .nenr of that party of which I was a member—the great Conservative party—was to see whether they could not save the corn-laws by a great reduction of indirect taxation.—(Hear, hear.) Under those cir cumstances seven millions and a half of indirect taxes were taken off. All the duties on raw materials—a great diminution of the duties on all articles that entered into general consumption —seven millions and a half of the revenue were sacrificed to save the corn laws, and it ended by that interest which had obtained that seven and a half millions getting the repeal of the corn latvs besides. But, in addition to obtaining those seven and a half millions of repeal of indirect taxation, besides obtaining the repeal of the corn-laws, the actual boon that the commercial interest obtained was the total repeal of the postage of the country, an alteration that has made a difference of hundreds, and, in some instances, of even thousands, in the annual expenditure of great firms.—(Hear.) Well, gentlemen, this is the condition of the manufacturing and commer cial interests. Remember that, besides all this, accord ing to their own estimate they are obtaining countless treasures from the expansion of old markets, and the discovery of new ones. Remember also, and never forget it, that according to their own estimate, the estimate of a gentleman high in economic science, the former secretary of the Board of Trade —remember that according to the estimate of that gentleman, who was said to have been returned to Parliament in consequence of that estimate, and who was also said to have drawn the tariff of Sir Robert Peel, the people of England are now, by the repeal of the pro vision laws, gaining two millions sterling per week. that is the estimate of Mr. Macgregor, the Member for Glasgow, and the prime counsellor and confidant of the Government that repealed the corn-laws.— (Hear, hear.) Well, th en , w i t h w h at colourcan the manufacturing and commercial interests come forward and demand a repeal of the great mass of taxes under the plea that they are suffering? How is it possible that with the immense increase of population which has taken place, with the vast increase of wealth, with our commerce greatly increased, with our manufactures doubled, and with a very large diminution in the taxation—how is it possible that there can be that suffering from the burden of taxation of which we hear so much from particular quarters? Gen tlemen, the fact is, that those who clamour about this burden of taxation, are those, limited in numbers though powerful in organization, who wish to stimu late foreign markets which they have glutted already with their productions, as in the case of China, or they are a body who, under the name of financial reform, contemplate political change ; and I will show you that the political change they contemplate under the name of financial reform is a change hostile to the property and industry of the owners and occu piers of real property in land.---(Hear, hear.) Gen tlemen, financial reform means, in fact, direct taxa tion; and direct taxation, however plausible at first, inasmuch as all property in this country, except real property, is of a most evanescent and fleeting charac ter, inasmuch as the fundholder in London, if taxed, will buy funds at Vienna or Brussels—it is quite clear that the burden of direct taxation must ultimately and speedily fall on real property.—(Cheers.) And, gentlemen, the greater the burden of taxation on you the more your industry will dwindle to meet that catastrophe on which they count. Now, under these circumstances, I think no course is more to be deprecated than that the agricultural constituencies should join in this clamour for the re duction of imperial taxation. What the agricultural interest requires, and this country require., is not diminution of taxation, but increase of means.— (Cheers.) Now, I believe there is a measure which, if supported by the agricultural interest of this coun try may be productive of very great advantages to you, and, gentlemen, it is one of th ose mea s u r e s which—having a tendency to the same object to which I alluded before, and which must not be lost sight of—namely, the restoration of a judicious system of protective policy—l think may be obtained from the present Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) In all the efforts made last year, in those prolonged discussions and divisions in which the question of the new com mercial system at all entered, and in which your in terest was brought under consideration, it is a curious thing to observe the vast number of members who ab sented themselves from the divisions. What was called the free-trade party represented by the Go vernment always polled to the last man. What was I BUCKS ASSOCIATION FOR THE RELIEF OF RE AL PROPERTY. AYLESBURY, OCT. 31.—The first general meeting of the members and friends of this association wai held at the George Inn to day, for the purpose of taking into consideration " the depressed state of agriculture, and all classes connected therewith." The meeting was very numerously attended by the gentle men farmers of the county. The chair was occupied by Wm. Lowndes, Esq., of Chesh un. Letters of apology for non-a t 'ndince were read from Colonel Higginson, Mr. Ha's M.P. for Herts, and Anthony Chester, Esq. The CHAIRMA N having briefly opened the prc ceedings, Mr. J. NEWMAN, J.P., of Bran Is House, proposed the first resolution, as follows : " That independently of supplying their share of the imperial revenue, the owners and occupiers of real property are forced to rase a second revenue, to the amount of twelve millions sterling, by a process, and under the name of local taxation,' though the ob jects for which this second revenue is raised are altogether of a general and national character, and therefore properly chargeable on the entire income of the country, and not on a portion only ; especially when that portion, rated at the highest estimate, scarcely amounts to one-third of the whole." Mr. E. STORE, tenant farmer, seconded the resolu tion, which was unanimously carried. Mr. DISRAELI, M.P., rose to propose the second re solution amid loud cheers. He said—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, this is the first meeting of a new association recently formed in this county, an associa tion for the relief of real property. Real property, gentlemen, in its most i•nportant particular, is at this time peculiarly suffering. The land of England, and especially the cultivators of the land, are suffering at this moment, and, as they believe, from the acts of the Legislature.—(Hear, hear.) Under these cir cumstances, you have naturally been called upon to consider your position, and see where you are suffer ing, whether you probably might not be subject to imposts and charges which the rest of your fellow subjects are exempt from. Now, gentlemen, this society are of opinion that it does not become us to be idle, but that, in the present Parliament we may advance many questions, and, perhaps, carry many measures, all of which have a tendency to the resto ration of protection, and which, so far as they move in that direction, will prove of a remedial, and, perhaps, of a highly remedial character to you.— (Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, with regard to those of our friends who lay it down as a principle that it is useless to attempt to obtain any relief from the present Parliament, I would venture to observe that I think that principle of action is not very constitutional in the first place, and I doubt in the next place whether it is very just. It is not the present Parliament that repealed the corn-laws. It is not the present Government that repealed the corn -laws.—(Hear, hear.) On the con trary, all who know the original tendency of the present Government know this, that so far from repealing the corn-laws, they would have substituted a modification of protection ; which we all of us now would be very glad to accept.—(Hear and cheers.) Now, 'I do not presume to form a better opinion of your chances of obtaining relief from the House of Commons than some of those gentlemen who have given their opinions to the country, but I pass a great part of my life in the House of Com mons. It is my business as your representative to study the temper and tone of that assembly. I know something, I think, of the opinions of those who form that assembly, both collectively and individually, and from that knowledge I have arrived at the conclusion that it is by no means a desperate eflbrt to appeal to this House of Commons for measures of a remedial character for you.—(Cheers.) I would not hesitate to express my opinion, formed on some observa tion, that the majority of the present House of Commons are not by any means devoted to that inconsistent and incoherent system which is too much honoured by being called a system of free trade.—(Hear.) Well, then, that being the case, having that impression, and remembering that the present Government as a body of public men are almost less violently devoted to those new-fangled principles than any body of men in the House of Commons that ever formed a Government, I cannot, with the prospect of four years probably before me of this present Parliament, sincerely counsel you to do nothing but despair.—(Cheers) I will make one observation generally, before I enter into any details, with respect to the particular interest that has called us together. When I say I look forward to the time when a wise protective system will be established ii. this country. I mean a system that will be generally protective of the interests of a ll c l asses o f English men—l wish to guard myself from being supposed in making these observations, or any other observa tions I may chance to make, to advocate only the interest with which lam connected. In the hour of danger and difficulty it is very true that the other great interests of this country were not faithful to the agricultural interest. When we were attacked in 1846, when we fought your battle as well as we could, the shipping interest, the colonial interest, and the timber interest were not found ranged ou our side.—(Hear.) But when their turn came, which we predicted to them would come, we did not for a moment choose to remember that want of sympathy and support on their side; on the contrary, we exerted our utmost energies on their behalf, because, acting for them, we vindicated a great principle.—(Hear and cheers.) Gentlemen, Lord George Bentinck, the best and greatest of men, sacrificed his life to the .Wes India =interest ; and when the shipping interest was assailed more recently, so powerful were the efforts made by the agricultural constituencies and their representatives, that the impolitic change in our navigation-laws was nearly defeated.—(Hear, hear.) I say this, gentlemen, because a most respectable in• dividual, a man for whom I have a very great respect and regard, an eminent shipsbuilder, has recently at a public meeting expressed his opinion, with great com pliments to myself—(A laugh)—that I was going on a little too fast in my recommendations to the agri cultural body. Perhaps that gentlemen in 1846, when I opposed the change in the corn-laws, thought I was going a little too slow—(Laughter)----but, with your permission, I will pursue that course which I think the wisest.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I une quivocally support protection to agriculture.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) And Ido so upon this ground, because I believe that protection is the parent of cheap ness and abundance.—(Renewed cheers.) Gentlemen, since the peace, making a due and even liberal allowance for the recurrence to cash payments, the cost of production of a quarter of wheat bas been reduced 100 per cent. under protection. Since the peace the British farmer has raised from the acre a greater quantity of produce than any farmer in Europe, and a much greater quantity of produce than any farmer in the United States under protection.— (Cheers.) Therefore it is unanswerable to my mind that protection has produced cheapness and abundance. Now, gentlemen, that is your case in an economical point of view. It is one that has never been answered, which no free-trader could meet, because no free trader could deny facts so potent. All the attacks on the late law were attacks on details—arguments to prove that a sliding scale would not work, that a fixed duty was not beneficial; but no argument was brought fornard to show that protection bad not produced , I abundance and cheapness; and when I say t h at I am for protecti on t o agriculture I guard myself against all details. When I say that Ido not mean to say that I am for any particular law that may be devised to morrow, or that may have been abrogated yesterday. I do not enter either on sliding scales or fixed duties. I am for protection to agriculture, bec ause t h at has produced cheapness and abundance.—(Cheers.) I say further, that what I mean by protection is this—a system that will leave to the landed proprietor that possession which the constitution has allotted to him, and will permit him to remain the natural leader of ' the people —a system which will make the cultivation of the soil the principal branch of the industry of the kingdom, which will make agriculture flourish; and agriculture cannot flourish unless the farmer and the labourer receive a remunerating price, and ample and proper wages.—(Hear, hear.) I mean by protection, gentlemen, the maintenance of the territorial consti tution of the country, which cannot remain unless agriculture is the most flourishing pursuit in England, Just as agriculture cannot remain the most flourishing industry of this country without the maintenance of the territorial constitution.—(Loud applause.) I come now to consider what is the best course for the agricultural interest in all its branches, classes, and ramifications to take, at this moment of almost unpa ralleled depression, with a still more gloomy future before them. You have had placed before you one of those measures which this society recommends you to adopt. The question of the burdens on real property has now become a public question. It has been placed in a light so clear, and in a position so difficult to discomfit, that you may fairly say that the public generally, upon the subject of real property, entertains correct and accurate ideas. Many are prepared "to tell us of the difficulties we must encounter in set tling the question." No one is more sensible of those difficulties than myself. It is difficult to reconcile local jurisdiction and national contribution; it is dif ficult at all times to settle interests of such compli cated details. In 1847, when Lord George Bentinck warned the farmers of England not to be deceived by The ri4ht to engrave this collection was presented to the Editor of the Art-Jou'•nal by the late Robert Vernon, Esq., prior to his " Proffer" of it to the nation—a right graciously sanctioned and con firmed by the Trustees of the National Gallery on accepting the gilt.

Having because he thinks it could not be maintained, says, in said thus much, we need scarcely go on to observe, his work on taxation, that no doubt the consequences that a communication more injudicious, both in form of a sinking fund of 5,000,0001. would be of vast im- and substance, has seldom been laid before the Legis portance, and that it is highly probable the rate of Go- lature of a free country.

If that were the case the the suffrages of the people ; but he forgets that in surplus capital of this country, the accumulations one very material respect his position is far more which have been devoted heretofore by the English nearly akin to that of the hereditary Monarchs of the people to foreign mines and foreign loans, and old world—viz., that those suffrages have placed him British railways, all those accumulations would find at the head of a single highly centralized common their way to the enrichment and cultivation of the wealth, not at the summit of the loose fabric of a soil.

Louis Napoleon Bonaparte an- I nounces to the President of the Chamber that men lare now needed—" who, animated by a patriotic de , votedness, comprehend the necessity of the single direction of a firm character, and of a clearly-defined ! policy, which dues not compromise p iwer by any irresolution—of men, in short, whose minds are as I much filled with the conviction of the President's peculiar responsibility tie of their own, and of the necessity of action as well as of worth," One might fancy that these words were personally levelled at the I late President of the French Council, so epigrammati cally do they portray his irresolute character, if one did not know that, individually, M. Odilon Barrot stands high in the esteem of the Chief Magistrate of France, and that his brother, M. Ferdinand Barrot, the private secretary of the President, is actually named Minister of the Interior in the new Cabinet. Though, however, the personnel of a generally weak Cabinet has been just changed, and the support of men more ardently devoted to the President obtained, yet it may be more than doubted w hether this new Cabinet just formed contains within itself the seeds of stability. Of Parliamentary or administrative ability in the highest sense it contains no portion; for though the new Minister of Justice is known to be an advocate of great celebrity at Riom, and not wanting fluency or force, it remains to be proved whether he is equal to the exigencies of public life—whether he possesses that knowledge, readiness, tact, and high courage so indespensably necessary in the present condition of France. M. Parieu, the new Minister of Public Works, now in the flower of his age, is perhaps a still better and readier speaker than M. Rouher ; but though a person of esprit, quickness, and a graceful fluency, something more than these gifts is necessary in Parliamentary and official life. Are either M. Rouher or Al. Parieu able to enter the lists with Berryer, Falloux, or Montalembert? Are they able even to tear to tatters the specious sophistries of M. Thiers—or to answer those sharp, clear sentences, half-bitter, half-banter ing, in which the sarcastic ex-Minister is so prone to indulge ? The vigorous dialectics—the plain, sound sense—the stubborn self-reliance and a plumb, as well as the great official and administrative talent, and the sterling honesty and straightforwardness of .111. Dufaure, rendered him peculiarly valuable in any Cabinet as a weapon to be used against self-seekers and intriguers, yet to our great regret and sur prise M. Dufaure is not numbered among the new Ministers, no more than his able and solid headed friend M. Passy. M. Ferdinand Barrot, a tenth or twentieth-rate advocate, and a fifth -rate journal ist, but ill supplies the place of so seasoned and able a man as Dufaure; and as to Passy, can his place be said to be supplied by the Jew Foul(' ? The name of Casimir Perier is a considerable name, indicating energy of will, firm ness o f purpose, and boundless self-devotion. But qualities such as these are not always inherited, and we have yet to learn that the mere fact of a man having served in a diplomatic ca pacity at Pt tersburgh, London, and the Vague, qualities him for a French Minister for Foreign Affairs.

But tio man supposes that he possesses the administrative and pro fessional ability of 'l3edeau, the probity, moral honesty, and resolute coolness of Cavaignac, or the dash and showy qualities of Lamoriciere.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TILE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—If any clear and definite signification can be attached to the sweeping measure by which the President of the French Republic has changed his whole Administration, and to the resolute message in which he announced this species of coup d'etat to the • National Assembly, we must suppose that Louis Na poleon intends to convey to France and to the world his peremptory intention to assume in his own person the supreme direction of the affairs of the Republic. It is the repetition or the parody of Louis XlV.'s declaration—" l'Etat, c'est moi I" If Louis Napoleon has been crossed and thwarted by the presence of statesmen in his Cabinet, whose duty and whose de sire it was to give to his authority as much stability and success as it could acquire, how has he relieved himself from their criticism and their opposition by thrusting them back into the ranks of an Assembly, already disposed to regard his pretensions with jealousy ani his acts with derision ? It was the general opinion of France, that for the present the public interest of the nation required the mainte nanc e of the authority of Louis Napoleon, and a gradual return to the habits of regular government. As the case stands at this moment, the late passage in Spanish history or comedy, which we dressed up yesterday for a fancied stage, is hardly more extrava gant than the change which. Louis Napoleon has undertaken to effect. Something else must be yet in store for us. The mere wind of an irritated popular Assembly would sweep away such a Cabinet as this. The languid popularity of Louis Napoleon, without the dignity of regality, the lustre of martial glory, or the protection of Constitutional irresposibility, would sink under the obscurity of those he calls upon to govern France. He can no more make them statesmen than they can make him an emperor; and whilst he talks of national dignity he exhibits the Administration of France at the lowest pitch of de gradation and incompetency. As far, then, as we can venture to form any opinion on a transaction at once so sudden in its execution and so vast in its consequences, it would seem that Louis Napoleon has made a false and dangerous move, and has entered on a course which will prove fatal to him if he pursues it. The composition of the new Ministry, as far as it is at present known, would seem to denote the entire absence of an under standing with any important section of the National Assembly, for the nature of the support it may receive from the Conservative chiefs is at least problematical. " The hand and the will of the elected of the 10th December," are very different things from the hand and the will of M. Mole and M. Thiers. In a word, the Constitution itself which called into existence two ' supreme and independent powers, legislated for their mutual destruction, and whenever their natural opposition breaks out into open hostility no issue can be found to such a contest but in some change —perhaps a violent change—in the fundamental conditions of the State. The questicn would then eventually rent on the disposition of the army ; and the conduct of the military chiefs, Changarnier i or Cavaignac, might be decisive as to the result. But whilst we can look forward with no confidence ' to the future, and the present seems every hour to become more untenable, we cannot look back on the d ssolution of the late Administration with the justly slightest regret. As the President observes, in seeking to e ff ect "a fusion of parties" he had on l y obtained " neutralization of force." M. Odilon Barrot's Ministerial career was one continued recan tation of all he had said and done in the course of his political existence; and he has expiated a life of reckless opposition, which ended in the overthrow of a Monarchy and the destruction of Governmant, by a tenure of office, short indeed in comparison with his previous performances, but replete with every contra diction which can humiliate a statesman. M. ' Dufaure and M. de Tocqueville, being less compro mised in the Roman expedition, have not suffered in their reputations, and will, we trust, hereafter render further services to their country ; but curiously enough it seems that M. de Falloux's resignation from ill health was one of the circumstances which most powerfully contributed to the dissolution of the Cabinet, for the man most trusted by the Pre tender was the most energetic Minister of the Pre sident.

ARCHITECTURE IN SPAIN.—In Spain, the buildings erected in the Christian provinces are but little known. The Musselmen, mere advanced in civilization than the Christians, exercised a powerful influence on the direc tion which architecture took in the different provinces of the Peninsula. It is known that the Andalusian artists went into Castille, and that they there erected churches in which they preserved the plan of the Basilica, but which they decorated in the Arabian style. We will mention the churches of Zsmora and of Toro, which quite resemble the French Romanesque Basilicas of the twelfth century, and the monastery of Pobelt, 1149. It is also well known that the period of the Renaissance in Spain was very brilliant.—Architect and Building Operative. REFORMS IN THE COURT OF CHANCERT.—NearIy the last Act passed in the late session related to the Court of Chancery— the first of a series of promised reforms connected with that tribunal. The statute in question has reference to the Petty Bag-office and the practice of the common law side of the Court of Chan cery and the Enrolment-office. Among the 52 sections contained in the Act (12th and 13th Victoria, chap. 109) are provisions enabling solicitors to practise as attorneys on the common law side, and to perform the duti es formerly discharged by the clerks of the Petty Bag office. The practice is to be analogous to the common law courts, and the judges of the superior courts are to possess jurisdiction in such matters. The clerks of the Petty Bag are to be paid by salaries, and all the privi leges of its officers are abolished. Stated fees are to be taken, and the Lord Chancellor, with the assistance of the Master of the Bolls, is to make general rules and orders to enforce the new law. The Act is an improve ment on one passed last year on the same subject, and resulted from the labours of a Committee of the House salaries instead of of Commons on fees in courts of law and equity, recom mending ngretchoempmaeyndmeantitoonfoat wriall bybe generally ol fn in offices of law and equity.
