THE "MONITBC , ‘" AND TEE 66 CONSTITUTIONNEL". (From. the Tinto.) The position of a Government which, besides an ordinary control over all the supposed organs of üblic opinion, has also certain channels of its own for statements of a more or less official character, if not absolutely unfortunate, has at least great inconveniences. Since we last ventured to com ment on the threats of the llf oniteur, and the in sults of the less official though not less controlled portion of the French press there have appeared two new articles that too plainlyreveal the peculiar difficulties of Imperial and Ministerial editors. The former of these is in the Constitutionnel and the latter in the Moniteur, and they stand rather in the relation of the sharp and brief rebuke with which a, master corrects the noisy impertinence of his servants. We expected that rebuke, and there fore we refrained from noticing the absurdities of the Constitutionnel until that menial had received its well-merited castigation at the hands of its Lord. We have now to consider them together. It was only a few days ago that the Moniteur appealed to the !English people against the English press. Since that, on the sth inst., the Constitutionnel— an Ultra-Ministerial print, well known to receive frequent inspirations from the Foreign-office—ap pealed to the English people against the English Government. In an article, which we are informed was much modified from the original draught, the English Ministry were accused of wishing to tear in pieces the Treaty of Paris, with " the view of satis fying an ambition momentarily disguised." This journal was accused " of thinking fit to distinguish the Sovereign from his Government—the „ policy of the Emperor from that of his Ministers and we are told that " such, very poor subtleties need no refutation." Many of our contemporaries believed, or pretended to believe, that the original paragraph in the Moniteur was inserted without the know ledge of his Majesty the Emperor. We never shared the impression. But, while we regarded the brief declaration in the Moniteur as little else than an Imperial manifesto, we felt also that the longer, more angry, and rambling commentary of the Constitutionnel, seriously compromised the whole of the Government, from Ministers to the chief, if it should be allowed to pass without censure. That censure, such was our confidence in the good intentions of our Imperial ally, we were ready to invoke by a direct appeal. We were pre paring to ask whether the Emperor wished to put an end to the alliance and unity of action which had so long existed between France and England ? It was his undoubted right to take such a step it he deemed it for his own advantage and the good of the people whom he governed. Did he wish to give back to Russia what he had so gloriou s ly con quered from her, and to exchange our friendship for hers ! It was in his sovereign will and plea sure. We might have urged somewhat against the policy, somewhat against the honour, of such a step; but, if this resolution had been taken and ir revocable, as we had been united in ail honour, we should have asked, at any rate, to part with cour tesy and dignity. This great alliance, of which his tory will have so much to tell, was not to be frit tered away by the licensed intemperance of a press which is nothing more than the mouthpiece of the Government. If there was between the Cabinet of the Tuileries and that of St. James's an irreconcil able difference, fatal to the continuance of our pre sent intimate relations, it was fit we should pert, as beseems great Powers, without petulance and wrangling and with a due sense of the v as t respon sibility which attaches to so momentous a step. If an irreconcileable difference of views forbade us to be intimate friends, let us, at any rate, do nothing which might have a tendency to widen the breach to enmity. We should have made this appeal in all confidence that it would not he misunderstood, hoping that means might yet be found to avert the calamity with which we were threatened, and pro testing with all our power against the method which seemed to be adopted for the purpose of bringing it about. Happily, the appeal is now unnecessary. As we have already said, it has been anticipated by a second declaration in the Moniteur, which not only repudiates the Constitutionnel, but, what is of far greater importance, indicates a very different temper from that which the Moniteur itself had betrayed in the previous manifesto. Besides con tradicting the Constitutionnel it contradicts itself, and thus vindicates the line taken by us and our more respectable contemporaries. Besides disown ing altogether and in the strongest terms the in temperate language of the Constitution nel, it speaks of the English alliance no longer as in momentary peril, but securely resting on the good sense and good faith of the two counteles. Of the difficulty itself which has created these discussions, and which t the Moniteur states to be of a very minor import ance, we shall proceed to speak more at length. But before we do so we beg to congratulate the country on the very timely and emphatic declara tion made by Lord Palmerston at Manchester on Thursday. When a British Minister uses words like these he touches a chord which vibrates with applause in the heart of every true lover of his country. We are proud of a Statesman who can address a British audience with so much public spirit. The Premier's words receive additional import from the circumstance that the French Am bassador had just carried befgre to his master the assurance that our Government was not disposed to submit to any trifling in the matter, and that it would be seen bysLord Palmerston's reception at the populous cities of Manchester and Liverpool whether England and its Government were united or not. M. de Persigny is much too honest a man and too good a friend to his master and to the alliance not to do full justice to the intention s of the British Government and the feelings of the people. It is then, while the French Ambassador is for a day or two at his own Court that Lord Palmerston speaks :—" The duration of peace must depend upon the honour and fidelity with which its conditions are fulfilled. I trust that that Power which brought upon itself the hostility, eitlhlr ac tive or moral, of all Europe by a forgetfulness of international rights and duties,—l trust that that Power, having concluded a treaty, Will observe that treaty with faithfulness, and then, no doubt. peace will be of lent; duration." Memorable words—well weighed, an-1 gravely uttered,—words honourable to the Minister who speaks them, and sure to be supported by the unanimous concur rence, and, if necessary, by the equally unanimous action, oF the nation to which they are virtually addressed. Our position with regard to Russia is sharply and well defined. We have entered into a treaty with her in which, from a sincere desire for peace and amity, and a strong consciousness of our strength and her weakness, we exaCted the very least Fiat in justice to the cause for which we took upsrms could be de man d e d . Th ese conditions, 80just and so reasonable, Ithssia has, from the very moment that the treaty was signed, sought every opportunity of evading The period during which the 'Russian part of the treaty was to be performed • has elapsed, and she is still wrangling about mattersSnfinitely t oo plain to admit ofdispute . between parties actuated by the slightest amount of good faith. She claims to substitute for the possessi on of town of Belg ra d a hamlet of the same na me , th e which would give h er f ree access to the Danub e , the very reat thing which it was one of the main object s o f the treaty of Paris t o p revent. This question she is Wi n lli - to submit t o a re of meetin g g of the Congress, but clahns in the meanwhile that we should withdraw our naval forces from the Black Sea, and Austria her l au d forces from the Principalities, thus l eav i ng once more Turkey a l one in the presence of the• Power the end and a i m o f which are her destruc tion. Nothing can be simpler than our answer to such p re p o siti o n s . W e do not trust Russia. • W e should be inexcusably weak if we relied blindly on the word of a Power " whi c h h as, " as Lord Palmerston says, forgotten int ernat i onal rights and duties," and is now seeking to evade obliga at a Constress of the I tions solemnly undertaken . „, Therefore we will not abandon Powers of Europe. Turkey in her . hour of need, nor withdraw on e while'its presence is necessary ship from the Eu rine to sSert a cause for which we fought and con st queVed. Any real difficulty, any honest and bo na tide dispute as to the meaning object to refer .t o treaty of Paris, we can hover o (y of the terms of th e arbitration ; b u t we w ill not refer it back to any . _ tribunal in the w or ld to decide t Whether Russia is he Baltic is closed to perf orm i n t h e w i nter, when conditions which she am the Crimea ev a c u ated, cond gladly accepte d i n the spring, with lti the prospect of a lon g l an d and navel campaignbefore lver. If hear no Russia, means to obse r v e the treaty le. us f more of thi s pa l try quibbling between Boy"rad the hamlet a n d B o l grad the town. Let h er w•lthdraw. her mi serable force from the Isle of Serpents, and let he r not dare to propose that even one of her ships shall p ass from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea. If she means, in spite of the treaty, to retain her c ommunication with the Danube, the alternative is not an European congress, but - an European war. "The duration of peace," as Lord Palmerston truly says, "depends on her;"—let her decide. Neithe r s h e nor her hireling foreign friends will succeed in separati ng France and E ng l an d . Th e two nations are still agreed, except upon a very minor point, and, united, we may defy all the machinations of th e common foe.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBOR 8, 1856 METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. Yesterday the ordinary weekly meeting of the b. - Nar,l was held in the couneil=ehaanbee, Guildhall, under the presidency of Mr. Thwaites. THE NEW STREET PROSr LEICESTER SQUARE TO COVENT GARDE2:. The Clerk (Mr. Woolrych) read a communication from the office of the Chi f Commigst mer of Works, stating that Sir B. Hall approved of the plan submitted by the board for the construction of the above named new street. This communication was ordered to be acknowledged by the clerk. GREENWICH DISTRICT ASSESSMENT. Mr. BRISTOWE introduced a deputation from Green• wich, who presented a memorial on the subject of the financial statement, showing the condition (if each of the parishes and districts of the metropolis, preOnted to the board on Oct. 3. The spokesman of the deputation, Mr. James, said that it appeared from the financial statement lately laid before the board, that a larger amount would be re quired to be raised from Greenwich district than from any other district of the metropolis, while there was nothing in the account which showed what were the items of the expenditure. The PRESIDENT interrupted the speaker by stating that 10,0001. had not long ago been paid by the board, of which 4,5001. was on account of Greenwich, 4,5001. for Lewisham, and 1,0001. for Richmond district. Mr. JAMES said he was aware that such was the case, but the deputation desired to be furnished with the par. ticulars of the expenditure, and no means had been as yet supplied to them for doing so. The PRESIDENT remarked that the board had not themselves the means of ascertaining what amounts Lad been expended in particular parishes. (Hear.) Mr. JAMES said that the district board had no reason to believe that Greenwich had been improperly charged; still they were delirious of having particulars in order to enable them to arrive at some conc:usion themselves. The PRESIDENT observed that no doubt the applica tion was a very reasonable one, and that the board had every disposition to give the deputation the fullest par ticulars--(near)--but he would remind the memorialists that the board had succeeded to a state of accounts of the most complicated character, which were not kept in re spect to parishes, but in respect of district-sewers' arrears. The board . had some district returns in reference to Greenwich, of which the deputation could have copies. Mr. JAILER alluded to the trunk sewers that had been constructed in the Greenwich district, and said that the deputation did not think it fair that the inhabitants should bear the expense of constructing sewers for the upper districts. The PRESIDENT said it wail not so. The returns would show the charges had been apportioned among the seve ral districts). h nemorial was then received. Mr. BRISTOWE moved to the effect, that the documents referred to by the President be furnished to the memo rialists. Mr. LESLIE did not see the necessity of passing such a resolution whin it was the undoubted right of every ratepayer to inspect the returns. Mr. Bristowe's motion was then agreed to. THE INTERCEPTING MAIN DRAINAGE PLAN. _ _ Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said that, before the next item in the business paper was taken up, he thought it right that the board should have some communication from the President in reference to an interview that he had had with the Chief Commissioner of Works. He did not in tend to debate the matter to-day, or to make any reware upon the statements that had appeared upon the strain::: in the pubic papers. The PRESIDENT had not any lengthened statement to make in reference to the interview, beyond the fact that, in pursuance of the resolution of the board, he, accom panied by the clerk and engineer, had presented to the Chief Commissioner the plan for the intercepting drain age of London, as also the plan for the new street in Covent-garden. He had no more to add at present. Mr. LESLIE asked whether there had been any altera tion in the plans taken up to Sir B. Hall after they had been agreed to ? The PRESIDENT said it wee quite impossible that them' could be any. Mr. LESLIE would persist in repeating his question. Tue PRESIDENT had no knowledge whatever of any such alteration. Mr. LESLIE would then atk Mr. Bazalgette (the chief engineer) ? BAZALGETTE distinctly affirmed that no alteration had taken place in the plan. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BRISTOWE observed that these questions implied others involving the reputation of individua!a. Mr. LESLIE gave his reason fur putting the question. The hon. member entered into some details in reference to statements concurred in by Mr. Bazalgette, bearing on sewage and rainfall. Mr. 11. L. TAYLOR did not think these statements at all fair to the engineer. Mr. SAVAGE would like to know whether the accounts which appeared in the newspapers were correct ? The PRESIDENT thought that on second consideration the hon. member would feel that he would best consult the interests of the board not to press his inquiries fur ther now. With regard to the reports themselves, he could only say that they were not taken by him. Mr. SAVAGE was willing, under the circumstances, to allow his queries to drop. THE NEW STREET IN SOUTHWARK. A deputation from the Board of Works of St. Savi our's district attended and presented a copy of the fol lowing resolution, which had been adopted by that board in favour of the formation of a new street, viz : " That, in consequence of the great increase of the street traffic on the south side of the river Thames, owing to the various railway termini in the locality, and the im mense traffic upon the approaches to London-bridge, it is desirable that a new and suitable street should be formed without delay from east to west through the district to redeye the traffic in the existing streets, and to afford better accommodation to persons going to and from the various railways, and it is the opinion of this board that this object will be best attained by a new street com mencing as near as possible to the termini of the South- Eastern and South Coast Railways at London-bridge and terminating as nearly as practicable opposite to Stamford street, Blackfriars-road." The memorial was received. The clerk (Mr. Woolrych) then read the following report of the Committee of Works and Improvements : " Greek-street, Soho, Nov. 7. " Your committee beg to report that, in accordance with the instructions conveyed to this committee by the resolu tion of the board of the 13th of Oetober last, to prepare a plan and estimate of a new line of street commencing, as nearly as practicable, opposite to the entrance of the South- Eastern Rail way and terminating in Blackfriars road, in a line with Stamford-street, they have under censidsration the following plans of new lines of street in the locality re ferred to, with a comparative estimate of the coat of carry ing them out : "Plan 1, marked A A, sheaving a line of street, coloured blue, from Stamford-street, Blackfriars-road, to High street at its junction with York-street, Borough, the esti mate for which is—for purchase of property, 660,237/. ; 10 per cent. for contingencies, 66,0231. ; 4,40 feet paving, &e.

The estimated coat of forming a straight junction with High street (near Red Lion-street) from Redcross-street is—out lay, 118,8911.; return, 33,'3951., making the net cost 80,596/. Add to this the net cost et' street from Stamford-street to Redcross-street—viz., 197,1151., the sun, will he 277,7111., from which deduct the Government grent of 90,0001., an , ' the total net cost of plan B B, with the straight junction, will be 187,711'. The estimated coat of forming a curve t junction with High -street (near York-street) from Red erosrostreet is,—outlay, 169,362/. ; return, 45,806/. ; add to which the not cost of street from Stamford-street to Rederose-street, 197,1150, leaning a total of 320,611/., front which deduct 91,000/. Government grant, leaves the total not cost of plan B B, with curved junction, 230,6711. Your committee, after fully considering those plane and estimates., and the nature and value of the property which would be interfered with in carrying out either line, have resolved upon submitting for the approval of the board the line B B, with the straight junction, coloured yellow on the plan ; and they accordingly recom reend a new line of street, commencing in High-street, at its point of junction with Red Lion-street, proceeding thence to Itedeross-street, at its interaortion with Castle street, and terminating in Blackfriars'-road, opposith Stamford-street in the direction shown ou the plan by the tinted yellow thereon. " Your committee have further to observe that they have given directions that the board should have before them the plan of the line of street leading from the Town-hall, Southwark, to the York-road, Lambeth, near to the South- Western Railway station, which was sub m itt e d t o th e board on the Bth o f Auguselast, together with the estimate of the cost of carrying out the works - " The cost from High-street, a:athwart:, to Southwark bridge-road is estimated at 294,0001. ; from Southwark bridge-road to Blackfriars-road, 2:48,419/.

" All which your committee beg to submit. "J. THWAITES. "THOMAS TURNER. " EDWARD COLLINSON." On the motion of Mr. Turner the report was received. Mr. TURNER, acting as the spokesman of th e Commit tee o f Works and Improvements, moved that the follow ' 1r,7, recommendation, emanating from the commatee, be proeesding 3"Pt" ' "A new line of street, commenting io h- Y' g ett, at its point of 'unction with Red Lioa-street, with Castie-tebt7leecee to , d R elgro terminatings-etree t opprsite St , in at Bliatsekifnrtiearrsee-street, 'ru‘ore-street, in be direction shown on the pneu thereon. act-romp:luta•l-e tae • ' e report by the line tinted ye ,ow The net - • COAb of this plan was set down in the estimate 384,326/ and e the same plan, with 3 deviation termed the "curved junction," often alluded te in the dehete, was Tl i s : e ut down at 427,786/., being an enittee bal. four plans he fore them, and they did net"tulai in recommending an addition:l n , k that they were li4;fieil expenditure of 4.3,000/. f g oing 11 yards nearer Lo ndon-bricl n ee. As regarded the plan of Mr. Pennitherne which had be - by the superintending architect, it w ol f di e n ' n re pr a t' ' ' t fi t r on an outlay of nearly double th at of the plan recVn est endad by the committee and lettered 88 . This was deserving of some consideration. In his opinion the line would fa litate considerably the traffic at th e r i ver side, and, rnore::- over, it would be the most useful to the neighbourhood.. Mr. COLLINSON seconded the tnoien. He was con vinced that the south side ratepayers were favourable to the plan recommended by the committee. Mr. InnnetE was desirous of putting the beard in pos.- sesi,ion of certain facts. He asked the c rormittee wbetlisr they had before them detailed data to support the caleu latious, and, if they hail, what m eans did they tane verify these ct!culations For his own pitt be pro• flounced these calculations inaccurate and enoneou,,,.and he staked his professional reputation as a surveyor upon the truth of these assertions. Tha ARCHITECT, in answer to questions from Mr. Wright, said that the width of the proposed new stre( 70 feet, whilst the width of Hig4-street at its point of junction with the projected street, at an angle of 125 deg., was but 60 feet. Now, the point which the com mittee had recommended was not the nearest practicable point to London-bridge ; but by making the cu,ved line, for which an additional 43,000/. would be required, the new street would go into another 70 feet in width. The street proposed by the committee might net unfairly be entitled "a street for the blocking up of Wellington. street, Southwark." It was not enough to make a wide and good street; the approaches must likewise be good. Would the board spoil their first street for a raving simply of 10 per cent. on the total outlay ; and this sav ing, let it be remembered, was the sole reason urged in supplrt of the plan recommended by the committee, whilst weighty and numerous considerations should in duce them to adopt the curved line. He would therefore move as an amendment that the plan recommended by the committee be adopted, with the variation of the curved junction with High-street (near York-street) from Redcross-street. Mr. SNOW seconded, and Mr. DREW supported, the amendment. Mr. Hows also spoke in favour of the amendment, which he said did not vary the line of street advocated by the committee, save in respect to the curve. This curve, however, would afford such advantages to public communication that he was quite prepared to vote the 43,006/. additional required for its construction accord ing to the estimate. Any advantage gained in bringing the new street nigher to the railway termini at London bridge he thought should be measured almost by inches. (Rear.) Mr. - DALTON having said a few words in favour of the amendment, Mr. WILKINSON addressed the board briefly in sup port of the motion. He did not think the advantages to tyz gained would compensate for the additional outlay. Mr. D'IFFANGER was willing to vote this sum of money for even a slight advantage in reference to the proximity of the new street to the London-bridge railways. 34,0001. was not worth considering in such a case. Mr. Deputy HARRISON asked the Court to reject the proposal of the committee as far as related to the straight junction with High street (near Red Lion-street) from Red Cross-street. If they adopted this, what would be the consequence of having a 70 feet street opening into a6O feet one almost at right angles ? Now, the curved junction would afford such convenience for public traffic that its advantages would very soon be fully appreciated by the public. His only regret was that they were not at present in a position to commence the new street at the rail ways,zbut he was now convinced that there at present existed difficulties of a rather formidable nature in effecting this. He thought the new street, as sketeht d out in the amendment, would be a considerable public improvement. Mr. COLLINSON strongly opposed the amendment. He would ask the gentlemen who propc,ed It to look care fully at the plans and see what would the consequence 'if the board were to adopt their prop-)tition for a cur:ed line of junction. To do so they would cut through the best property,in High-street, and for what purpose ? Why, to leave behind a greater nuisance in Southwark both in point of appearance and convenience than they found there. (Hear.) However, he- would not object to the sacrifice of the property, if public interest was to be served ; but the fact was that the curved line would be highly disadvantageous to Southwark. If they passed this proposition for a curve he confessed that he knew nothing that could occur in after time that would remedy the evil that would be thus occasioned. Mr. DOULTON remarked that no great metropolitan improvement could be carried on without causing incon venience in some quarter ; but nevertheless Southwark would be considerably benefited by bringing the com mencement of the new street as nigh as possible to Lon don-bridge. As representing a borough constituency (Lambeth) he gave his suppere to the amendment. Mr. BIDGOOD strenuously resisted the amendment, and expressed his concurrence in the line of street which .bad been surveyed by Mr. Pennithorne, and to which rtes Government were evidently favourable. They had heard, too, that the committee had not been altogether unanimous in recommending the plan proposed for adoption by the motion. Mr. TURNER having replied, The amendment was put and carried by 27 to 8, and thus became the original motion. Another amendment,. proposed by Mr. Davis and seconded by Mr. Thclgood, to the effect that the plan re commended by the Government surveyor, Mr. Penni thorne, be adopted, was rejected by 25 to 8. Tee motion was then agreed to. A protracted discussion ensued as to the manner in which the plan thus agreed to would be communicated to the Chief Commissioner of Works. The debate, which was exceedingly animated, and somewhat personal and disorderly, was occasioned by the manner iu which the president and officers of the board were reported to have been received and " lectured " by Sir Benjamin Hall when presenting the plan for the main intercepting drain age some days back. Though the president did not make any official communication to the board (for reasons stated by him) relative to his reception by the Chief Clminissioner, and evc.n expressed his readiness to lay the present resolution of the board before Sir B. Hall, the fact that the president was badly received was in dignantly commented upon by Mr. Wright, Mr. H. L. Taylor, and several other hon. members, who neverthe less reserved to themselves the right of still freer com ment when the matter came in a regilar way before the board. Other hon. members, as Messrs. Dlffangerand Douiton, asserted that the Chief Commissioner was in capable of treating the president with any discourtesy, and refused to argue the affair further until the president made his report, which, for reasons which the board ap preciated, he was not inclined to do at present, unless the board unequivocally intimated its desire to that effect. Ev mutually, a resolution passed to the effect that the pre sident, clerk, engineer, and two other members should lay the plan for toe new street before Sir B. Hall. Mr. H. L. Taylor then moved that Meesre. D'lffanger and Nicholay (the representatives for Marylebone) be the two members accompanying the president. This proposition was received with laughter and cries of "No, no." How ever, Mr. Taylor persisted in his motion, and Mr. Nicholay declared he was ready to go, but suggested the undesirability of appointing the two representatives for Maryhboce to wait upon the member for that constitu ency, and Mr. D'lffanger said that - e considered such a motion rattier in the light of an instet than as a compli ment !o himself and Mr. Nicholay. An extremely confused conversation resulted, end some of the members (as Mr. Wilkinson) declared that the whole proceedings of the last twenty minutes tended to make the board appsar highly ridiculous iii the eyes of the public, and must be stopped. Several gentlemen were then named, but declined the post, and ultimately a motion was carried, empowering the president to name the two members who were to accompany him. Mr. Wright (who had at first refused to go) and Mr. Harris were then nominated by the president, and the proceed ings of the day were brought to a close at five o'clock. • Subjoined is the e3timata for the new street, as adopted by the board : " EAimato of the cost of forming a new street, from Stam ford-street, Bkckfriars • road, to Red Cross-street, Borough, according to plan B B.

DIARRABLE, Superintending Architect." AN EX-ZOUAVII IN LOVE. A pretty little married woman, named Bordier, and a young man, named Robiquet, were yesterday tried by the Tributial of Correctional Police for adultery. The husband of the woman, a small tradesman, • stated that she Was lazy, gluttonous, and full of all man ner of vice, and that repeated tbraabings had had no effect in reforming her. He therefore had separated from her, but had generously made over to her all the furniture they had possessed. Shortly after their separation ha learned that she had formed, an adulterous connection with Robiquet, and he caus , /d a commissary of police to obtlin proof of their guilt. In ber defence the woman siii.--" Ali be states is till» ; but why did he leave me without money ? No hir.iband ought to leave his wife without money. If I had had, money I should not have gone to M.

Wo extract two out of many thousand expressions of gratitude from invalids :—From the Dowager Countess of Castlestuart. Cure 52 ,612.--Rosstrevor, County of Down, Ireland, December 9, 1854. The Dowager Countess of Castlestuart feels induced, in the interest of suffering hu manity, to state that Du Barry's excellent Revalenta Arabica Food has cured her, after all medicines had failed, of indiges • tion, bile, great nervousness and irritability of many years' standing.
