ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCE. The Money Market continues without the slightest alteration of moment, either as regards the de mand or the terms upon which it is met. The ) es t three months' bills are charged 31 4 per cent., and the Bank of England authorities, who keep their minimum at 4 per cent., are obtaining a fair Ehare of the current business. A further sum of £49,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. . The l as t wee k' s ra il way rece ipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under :- 1863, 1862.

A special me e ti ng o f t h e s h are h o ld ers o f th e City Club Company was held to day, for the pur pose of passing a resolution empowering the capital to be increased by £50,000. Mr. J. T. King 0C2.11• pied the chair, and stated that the preliminary arrangements had all been completed, that the site had been obtained and a plan of the building decided upon. The club when finished would afford great comfort and convenience to its members, and the only difficulty which the directors anticipated Was to admit all the applicants. The directors expected that about £25,000 of the £50,000 now proposed to be raised would be opened, and the remaining half left as a guarantee for credit, &c. Necessary resolutions were carried.

OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Byles,) THE FATAL OMNIBUS ACCIDENT ON HOLBORN-HILL. George Langley, omnibus driver, surrendered to his bail on an indictment charging him with manslaughter. The facts of the case have already appeared in The Sun, from which it will be recollected that the deceased was an omnibus conductor, and during the time he was putting on the "skid," or locking the wheels, the pole or horses of another omnibus which was following knocked the poor fellow down, and death resulted from the injuries he sus tained. After two or three witnesses had been examined, The jury inquired of the learned judge whether there was any cause for them to hear further evidence, as they had quite made up their minds. The learned Judge said he did not like stopping cases, but he must confess at that moment a thought was passing in his mind whether there was any case against the defen dant. The Foreman—We have quite made up our minds; it was a pure accident, but we wish to know whether it is competent for us to add a kind of requisition to our verdict? The learned judge told the jury they were quite at liberty to add anything they pleased.i The Foreman—They formally returned a verdict of not guilty, and said the jury trusted the company to which de ceased belonged would make some recompense to the widow for her loss, as the death of her husband was caused solely by his anxiety to serve his employers. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) CHARGE OF STEALING TURPENTINE. John Smith, 24, sawyer, and Joseph Pemberthy, barge men, were indicted for stealing one calk and 50 gallons of turpentine, the property of Sir Cherie' Price and others, and Joseph Charles Harrison, oilman, Queenhithe, was in dicted for receiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. The case was proceeding when we went to press. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Frederick Tell was indictel for stealing a watch and chain, the property of James Horner, from his dwelling house. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. STATE OF TRADE. DUNDEE, Sept. 22.—Flax, tow, and cadilla all keep quiet, the demand being entirely consumptive, and the prices of all qualities, excepting some of the higher marks which are scarce, in favour of the buyer. With these exceptions the market was remarkably buoyant to-day, and the inquiry for linens beyond all precedent. The consumption of jute is now very extensive, and still increasing. Stocks in sellers' hands are light, with prices tend ing upwards, and the demand active for all quali ties; bat fine is much sought for, and 10s. to 20s. per ton higher than last week. Yarns were again a little dearer, and all qualities greatly wanted. To day a considerable quantity was sold, but not to the extent of purchasers' wants, spinners being quite unable to book so many orders with any hope cf executing them this year. The American ad vices received yesterday report a large business in hessians at advanced rates, and linens generally in active demand. Many of the hessians sold there are for corn sacks, the grain being now shipped in bags, as it is difficult to be got insured in bulk. These large sales imply an extensive shipment of grain to the United Kingdom during the winter, and low prices on this side. Large transactions in linens were entered into to-day for delivery through out the remaining months of the year, and Ameri can buyers were pressing operators. Several home trade buyers were also in the market, but it was not possible to place half the orders they had to give out, either for Dundee fabrics or for those made in the district. LEICESTER, 23d.—The hosiery trade has been very active during the past few days, and manufac turers continue well employed with orders on hand. In the country districts business is without much change. Yarns hold up in price, and spinners are fully employed to order. There is no material alte ration the in price of wools; the market is firm and rates are high. NOTTINGHAM, 23d.--There has been rather more doing in lace goods during the past few days than for some time previously, and more is expected to be done in Octobar. Some few orders for muslin quillings have been completed this week. In other descriptions of plain goods there is not much doing. Black silk laces are rather less in request, but more is expected to be done when the harvest is con cluded. Narrow edgings arc selling telerably well. In hosiery there is not much change. Yarno aro realising very high prices, and the tendency is still upwards. " Christopher North," otherwise the Great Professor. Charming y described in racy prose by an ad miring fellow-countryman of Sohn Wilson's, the author of certain Poems and Songs, one Hugh Mac donald.:— " And now I must say I felt rather afraid to ven ture into the presence of the redoubted Kit North, my heart beat rather thickish when I thought of my hardihood ; however, there was no drawing back now, I must go on. * * In going up the stair to the great man's study, his sanctum sanc torunz, the palpitating symptoms threatened to re turn on me ; but the moment I was in, and saw his noble intellectual countenance brighten with a smile of welcome, as he shock me warmly by the hand and led me to a seat, saying at the same time that he was very glad I had called, I felt myself quite at home. He was in his 'workshop among his books, which were scattered about in all directions in glo rious confusion, none of your gay glittering binding ranged for show, but mostly 'scuft,' and bearing the marks of having seen service.' He sat in his easy chair, with a good stout cudgel in his hand. Fillan's bust is very correct ; I would have known him by it, although I had never been told whol was neck —hihnineedfibuye tmimuen,lyhafenagtiunrgee,caureul speaking to. Hi s l ong yellow hair, now silvered d eni b Y ro o a v d er hi h g i h s dome-like head, would have pointed him out at once es the mighty Christopher. He is becoming rather fat and corpulent ; and when he threw himself back, during our conversation, in his chair, with the one worthy tthhye cause Sir of leg restin g on th e other, he brought Shakespere's notonly w i t t u t ymhyi mind.e lf, b wit w h i others,o was forcibly Indeed, I felt above myself, as if he had not only genius himself,but that for the time he had inspired me with a portion of his glorious spirit. He said that from my letter and poetry he had looked for an older man ; that I was still a very young man, &e. Enquired very kindly after my circumstances; was very sorry to hear that I had lost a wife. Said that a great many young men sent him verses, in general the greatest trash—that they either would not or could not think for themselves. Said that he had been pleased with both my letter and verses. * * Said that he had made up his mind at once, on reading them, to see me; and again said he was proud I had called. He then read over ' the birds,' verse by verse, making remarks on each. The lark that sings the stars asleep :' Did I mean to say that the lark sung after the stars begun to shine ? I said no : but that this bird rising in the early mot n before the stars began to fade, and continuing to sing while they were one after the other disap pearing, might in a poetic sense be supposed to sing them asleep. Sail it was beautiful, but did not strike one at first. The merle that wakes their beam Ho had often admired the song of the merle while he was wandering in the saft simmer gloamin'. ''The wagtail by the forest-spring or lonely waterfall:' Said that he had been once taken to sea a painting of a waterfall, by a very clever artist, one Harvey, that he had noticed a bird sitting on a stone at the bottom of it ; he had turned to a friend and said, this must be a wagtail. His friend, who was a naturalist, said, No; it is a waterpyet or ousel; and that this bird was more fre quently found in these situations than the wagtail; I would not agree to this; said that what I had written was from actual observation. That the ousel was a comparatively rare bird, but that it was always to be seen walking about the margin of the lonely lions; and that I saw several last time I was in Killoch Glen. Said he knew that sweet little glen, and he was glad I had stuck to my point, as his observations and mine were in accordance with each other. ' The red-breast wailing sad alone :' He did not think the robin's song a sad one. When he lived last in the country, one came morning and evening, and sung sitting on the top of his pig -house, and he always thought it a very lightsome and blithe song; he used to be quite charmed with it, but singing, as it did alone, at the fa' o' the leaf, there was no doubt but it excited melancholy feelings — this was wholly owing to the associations, however. I said it was probably so, but it appeared sad to me, and I wrote as I felt. I said I had been to see poor Ferguson's grave that morning ; and while musing there, a red-breast had burst into song on a poplar tree in the churchyard, and that it had struck me as a very sad song indeed. He as sented. 'Familiar as a mother's voice:' He was not quite sure of this—there was familiarity in a mother's voice, but there was a great deal more ; it might pass,however. ' Matchless mottled breast :' Thought it would be better without matchless.' ' Wells of glee' was a strong phrase, but beautiful, applying both to throstle and merle, and he thought there was strength enough without matchless.' * * * These are the principal remarks he made on the piece—it was well worth the pains of polishing, and all short poems should be attended to in this respect. When he had read it he folded it carefully up, placed it in a small rosewood box lying on the table, saying at the same time, I must take care of this.' He asked what part of Paisley I worked in, and said lie was sorry to go to that place now— the old familiar faces were nearly all gone, even the houses, he scarcely knew them now. There were cnly two families that he knew --the Lenses in the Sneddon, and some old ladies named Orr, somewhere in Causeyside. He minded the Louses, they came from England when boys; and he re membered very well that he envied their roast beef and plum-pudding dinner, when he only got his parritch and milk. When he was last in Paisley he went to see the garden outside the town, where he used to go for gooseberries, and to look for birds' nests when a boy. He had gone into some old haunt of his childhood (a garden), when an old woman came out and looked after him, as much as to say, I'm no very sure about you;' he sa id he was glad to walk off. He had known very little of Tannehill until very recently. He said he had left Paisley when a boy, before Tannahill's time, and was in England for a lengthened period; and somehow, even when he came on visits to his native place, his friends had never spoken to him of the weaver bard. Talking of Wordsworth, he said that he had met him when a young man in England ; Wordsworth's poetry was then very much ridiculed, even his most beautiful productions. I said that Wordsworth was much indebted to him for the high degree of popularity he now enjoyed; that it was, for instance, almost altogether through his writings on Wordsworth's poetry that I knew anything of it. He considered this great poet had been unfairly treated, and he had done what he could to place his writings before the public in their proper light. He did not think that Wordsworth would ever be very popular, it was only the few who could devote a considerable portion of thought to his works, who could perceive the peculiar beauties of bis poetry. * * * So we shook hands, and I came a way with a heart rinin' ower wi' grati tude, pride, and love to tle greatest mind I have ever met, or in all likelihood ever may meet in this world."

CArrfoN TO CABMEN.—For a long time past great complaints have been made of the number of cabmen loiter ing and causing an obstruction in Coventry-street, &c., and several of the offenders have been summoned to this court by the police. At first Mr. Knox fined the defendants 3s. and 2s. costs, but, as the number of defendants summoned rather increased than diminished, Mr. Knox raised the fine to ss. and costs. The increased fine failing to check the nuisance, Mr. Knox imposed a fine of 10s. and costs, and now the worthy magistrate has expressed his intention, finding that things are going on just the same, to fine all defendants 20s. and costs. This will be a great boon to the honest and well conducted cabmen, who ara prevented getting off the stand on which ho has been for hours, sometimes owing to the other cabmen, who go creeping about, picking up all the fares. THAMES. THREE SLIGHT TAPS ON THE HEAD.—Catherine coil, a bloated and dissipated woman, of violent temper, in appearance 60 years of age, but who only owned to 30, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with violently assaulting her husband, Cornelius Driscoll, with a poker. The prosecutor, a little Irish tailor, as pale as a spectre, came to the station-house in Poplar last night with the blood streaming from wounds on the head. He presented a frightful appearance, and said his wife had murthered him wid a poker. A constable, named Henry Hayward, 401 K, was despatched with the poor fellow to Bury's court, Well-street, Poplar, where he found Mrs. Driscoll quarrelling with a neighbour. The constable charged the prisoner with wounding her husband, and she said she had only given him " three slight taps on the head." She was taken into custody. The poor fellow, her husband, said when he came home " his old woman" was drunk and quarrelling, and when he expostulated with her she " bullyragged him and bate him wid a poker, and he was kict quite. The evidence of other witnesses went to show that the prisoner had committed a violent and unprovoked assault on the complainant, who lost a good deal of blood, and whose head was covered with a surgical plaister. The prisoner, in defence, said her husband threatened to rip her open with a knife, and she took up a poker to de fend herself, and gave her husband some taps with it. Mr. Partridge was satisfied the prisoner was a very vio lent woman indeed, and that she had wantonly and mali ciously beaten her husband and done him very serious in jury. He sentenced her to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. Tut CAPTAIN ON A WRONG' 'amt.—Matilda Purdy, a tall and strapping wench, aged 25, of No. 2, Sarah-street, Poplar, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing a 10s. in gold from the person of Captain Edward Hood, of Time-street, Newcastle, and master of the ship John, lying in the river. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor, a red faced, weather-beaten north country mariner, that he ar rived here on Sande) , last with his ship. Last night he came on shore for a cruise and wet with the prisoner. He treated her with grog and a supper. He was a " little by the head," and he agreed to stop all night with the priso ner. They went to No, 2, Sally -street. The prisoner —Sarah-street. The captain—Well, it was Sarah-street, Poplar ; and before I went to bed I stowed away my gold in a piece of old newspaper, and put it in my pocket. This morning my eight sovereign s and half sovereign were gone. Mr. Partridge —And was the prisoner gone too ? Captain Hood—No, sir; she stuck by me all night and never left me. The prisoner said the prosecutor declared when he missed his gold that ho had put it under the carpet of the room in which they slept all night, and caused the carpet to be taken up. She never saw his gold A police constable said the prosecutor stated to him that his gold was deposited under the carpet, and after a search was made he said he stowed it away in his pocket. The Captain---I am sure it was stowed away in my pocket. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner was intoxicated last night, and he could place no dependence on what he said. He advised the prosecutor, who was the master of a ship, and ought to set a better example, not to pick up with such prostitutes in future, and to avoid a place like • when he came to this port again. He di sc h a rged the priso ner . c Z a ra P h a - li s Y tree as t, Poplar, MARKETS—This Day. M ARK-LANE.

At the Birmingham Police court, on Tuesday, Mary Ann Jones, who was charged at the court on Monday with threatening to commit suicide, was again brought up and placed in the dock. On Monday she had made to the court a strange state ment, to the effect that she had been enticed away from her home at Burslem by a young man named Wm. Dean, drugged on the way to Wolverhampton, and afterwards seduced and robbed. This she after wards altered, and her amended statement stood thus :—Dean, who had worked with her at a pot tery at Burslem, had been courting her for some time, and by him she was enciente. On Saturday morning he advised her to start with aim for Wol verhampton. On the way, and when within a very short distance of the town, he pulled from his pocket a powder, and urged her to take it. She did so, and afterwards became unconscious. Oa coming to her self she found that Dean had left her, and also that, while in a stupefied state, a small sum of money, which she drew from her employers before leaving Burslem, had been taken from her. Upon this evidence, involving, as it did, charges of offences of serious magnitude against Dean, the bench ordered a warrant to issue for his immediate apprehension. The young woman gave his descrip tion and address to the police. In the course of the day an officer, armed with the authority of the law, was sent down to the Potteries in search of Dean. On arriving there he found out that the girl had made a statement having not the slightest founda tion in truth, and that she had imposed on the credulity of the bench with lies trumped up for the occasion. No such a person as William Dean was known in the locality, but the girl was known to the police as being a notorious impostor, and addicted to vagabondish habits. riaving made these disco veries the officer quietly returned to Wolver hampton, bringing with him a witness who was well acquainted with the girl's antecedents.—Police sergeant Steel, of Burslem, said that about two years ago the prisoner was found lying in the road, at Trentham, by Mr. Adderley, M.P., of Barlaston hall, to whom she stated that some person had robbed her of a purse containing 4s. 60., and also committed a rape upon her. Mr. Adderley, in con sequence, took her in his carriage to Stone Work house. A man was arrested oa the charges, but her statement proved to be untrue, and she was severely reprimanded by the magistrates who heard the case. She admitted that she had made a false charge. She was afterwards taken to the work house at Chell, whence she absconded, taking with her some clothing belonging to the union. On this charge she was sentenced to a month's imprison ment. Shortly after her release from gaol she was found sitting in the road at Trentham, at night, and told a policeman who found her that she could tell who the men were who had been con cerned in the recent poaching affray on the Duke of Sutherland's estate. She named a lodging-house where they could be found, and the house was searched,but this story turned out to be untrue. She was brought before magistrates at Longton, and sentenced, he believed, to a month's imprisonment. The prisoner—Nothing of the kind, sir. Witness —A short time afterwards she was in custody of a police-officer, Blurton, charged with disorderly conduct. For this offence she was sentenced, he believed, to two months' imprisonment Soon after her liberation from gaol she was found at Eccles hall, in an apparently dying state. Police-sergeant Robinson took her to his house, and she informed him that two men had taken her into a toll-house near Salop, and committed a rape upon her, and afterwards gave her poison. Two magistrates were fetched from church to take her declaration, as it was thought she would die. The declaration was signed by her, and she stated her belief that she should not recover. Upon inquiries being made as to her character, she admitted her statement to be false, and was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. After her release from gaol she was again found at Longton, but she was then in company with a man, and she was brought before the magistrates, and sentenced to fourteen days' imprisonment. Her term expired last Saturday. One of the bench asked if she was a prostitute. Witness—She is a notorious prostitute, and one of the greatest liars in the world. Superintendent Povey had received com munications from almost every town in England where she had practised the same kind of dodges. The prisoner—You have told an untruth; I have only been to Stafford three times; the first for seven, the second for fourteen, and the last for twenty one days. Witness—On applying to the gaol more than half a dozen convictions can be produced of her. Prisoner—As to my going to Chell Work house, I never did, for my mother took me home. The Mayor (to the prisoner)—He says you came from Stafford on Saturday. Prisoner—lt was not on Saturday I came. I was at home on the 19th of September, and my mother knows it too. In answer to the bench, the witness added that there was no such person ss William Dean living at Burslem. The Mayor (to the prisoner)—Do The adhere to the statement you made to Dean ? prisoner said she did, and it was true she was three months advanced in the f amil y way. The Mayor said she would be examined by a surgeon, and re manded far a week, and in the meantime further inquiries would be made respecting ker. He added that this case showed the necessity of there being a public prosecutor. It must be placed in the hands of an attorney, so that a proper inquiry might be made, and the case presented to the bench next Tuesday in a connected form, for if the statement of the nollee-bergeant were correct the prisoner ought not to be at large.—Binnznyllarn Gazette.

Par Charles de Franque vine, Auditeur au Conseil d'Etat, Avocat a la Cour Imperiale. 1 Tome, pp. 559. Paris: Hachette et Cie. A distieguished Frenchman has, in this singularly interesting and exceedingly able work, taken not only a very tolerant but a most generous view of our English Institutions. M. de Franqueville is a man of note amongst our Gallic neighbours. This his very position indicates. Ho is Auditor bf the Council of State, besides being a barrister at law in practice and a man of letters with some reputa tion. Ho has enjoyed the advantage of mixing in English society as well as in French society. When he writes, as in the volume under notice, about our insular institutions, "Political, Judicial, and Ad ministrative," he writes, no doubt, after the accu mulation of large stores of knowledge in regard to those institutions from books, but he writes also, it should be especially borne in mind, from his own vigilant, sustained, and thoughtful observation. The treatise here presented by him to our consi deration—for in a philosophical sense the work is a genuine treatise in its character, a treatise well considered throughout, ample in its scope, and having the broadest, and, so to speak, the most massive principles for its very foundation—the treatise here submitted to our examination by M. de Franqueville has been quite manifestly from beginning to end, a labour of love with the writer of it. Like his illustrious fellow-country man, the Count de Montalembert, in these particu• lars, if in no others, M. de Franqueville, besides being an earnest, a conscientious, and a devoted ultramontanist, is, with the whole fervour of a most generous nature, in his political sympathies, a thoroughgoing Anglo-maniac. A time was when the cultivation of a frivolous and besotted Anglo mania was the passing passion of the hour among a certain class of French politicians. Outwardly it manifested itself, this tendency towards the imita tion of English ways and methods of doing things, by the adoption of some of the more flagrant absurdi ties then prevalent on this side of the Channel in the way of costume, as well as in the adoption of some of our most conspicuous social and domestic habitudes. These extravagances, occurring (it way be recalled to mind by even the most superficially instructed student of modern history), during the evil days of the first, that is, of the Great French Revolution. While yet in England the vulgar notion of a French man was almost identical with the idealised cari cature of that personage painted in Hogarth's picture of Calais Gate, a caricature afterwards exaggerated to the most grotesque extravagance of ridicule in the Frog-eating Spindle-shanks pour trayed in the gaudily-coloured etchings of Gilray and Rowlandson—multitudes of people on the op posite side of the Channel, prominent politician s many of them, were acting, it may be, in a not less mistaken, but certainly also in a far more generous spirit : wearing among other things the buckskins and top-boots, then forming a portion of the ordinary garb of Englishmen ; carrying in their right hand a bulbous-headed walking-stick ; having at their heels a tamed, though ferocious-looking specimen of the genus bulldog ; in their hours of conviviality, it may be, some of them exchanging the savoury ra gout for the tough beef-steak, or the nip of absinthe for the equally nauseous flavour of gin-and-bitters. It was not that these earlier and merely superficial Anglo-maniacs hated us less (that is to say, than Englishmen and Frenchmen were then mutually taught, idiotically to hate each other) but that they hated their own rulers, their own institutions, their own Government more. There was a malignity in that Anglo - mania, though the evidences of it were nothing short of the ridiculous. In noble contrast to the Anglo-mania of past days in France, is an intellectual and philosophical Anglo mania, if such it can justly be called, like that manifested by a rarely gifted man of genius like the Count . de Montalembert, or, again as the work to which we are here desirous of directing the attention of our fellow-countrymen, admirably well evidences, by an enlightened and accomplished ob• server like M. de Franqueville. Subscribing to Buffon's famous axiom, "la style c'est Phoneme," we would here, before adding another syllable in regard to the goodly volume before us, give in the way of illustration at least one brief extract, as an average exemplar of the way in which M. de Franqueville's work is written. Remarking upon the ex traordinary difference discoverable at a glance between the French and the English administrator our author goes on to remark :—" La quelquea rares employes, d'un acces facile, d'une exquise politesse, d'une inepuisable complaisance pour les citoyens qui, par le plus grand des hasards, ont affaire a une administration publique. Point de cerbere ren gorge dans tine cravat© blanche, le coo orne de la chaine d'argent traditionelle ; un simple gentleman en redingote fait fonction d'huissier ; it parait sur prise, mais non pas enecontent, d'apercevoir un etranger, et it s'empresae de se mettre a sea ordres. II est assurement plus facile de voir un minister i'Angleterre qu'un chef de division francais. Les bureaux sent propros et nets. On y voit peu de dossiers, encore moins de cartons. Une petite cur beille d'osier contient trois ou quatre feuilles de papier etonnt'es de se trouver ensemble, et destinees 1. etre pliees le soir, puis entourees d'un petit fig rouge [how delicately the red tape is hinted at avant de retourner :L la poussiere qui les attend. Presque toutes les admi nistrations sent reunies, a Whitehall, dans un meme Utiment dont la cue seulo est plus eloquente quo tour les discours, Point de ces etiquettes ma jestueuses, sur lesquelles le mot bureau crime, chez nous, a staler 8a touteepaissance ; de petites plaques de cuivre bien discretes se desputent la partie in firieure do trois portes etroites, et indiquent lea noms des ministires, dont elles annoncent l'entrec. Le temple de la bureaucratic anglaise est moins grand quo l'hotel par 6.culier de l'un des ministres Paris." Time will come, however, M. do Franque ville, when in regard to that last peculiarity of ours, we are all cherishing the hope of being able to say with Moliere's Medeein Magri Lui—" We have changed all that" completely ! Meaning the restricted character and unimposing ap pearance of our public offices. As our author himself might learn any day, when next he happens to be over here in London by strolling down in the direction of Whitehall and remarking the extent of the clearance there made to the west of Downing-street. Excellent though the arrangement of this work of M. de Franque ville's undoubtedly is, in the way o f affording its reader a comprehensive and comprehensible survey of our English Institutions—our institutions at once p o litical, judicial , and administrative—it i s upon the liberality of the whole tone of it that we would here particularly be understood to pro nounce our opinion —not carelessly, or casually, or out of mere idle compliment, but with an emphasis of approval to which, according, to our thinking, th a t same lib era li ty of tone so eminently entitles it. Divided into four books, the volume considers, in the first, The State and the Church ; in the second, Justice and Legislation ; in the third, the Central Administration; in the fourth and last, the Local Administration. Than which division of his theme, into four quarters, none could by possibility ensure to the treatise more in stant lucidity or more symmetrical completeness. Subdividing the first book again into four chapters, M. de Franqueville comments in the first upon our Constitution in its entirety. In the second, he con siders the Executive Power under half a dozen sections-1, the Sovereign; 2, the Royal Family; 3, the Royal House; 4, the Civil List; 5, the Privy Council ; 6, the Cabinet. Chapter th ree re l a t es in five sections to-1. The Parliament; 2. The Nobility ; 3. The House of Lords ; 4. The House of Commons; 5. The Bills introduced into the Legis lature, and there by " passing " transformed into enactments. Chapter the fourth and last of the first book relates, in its turn, under two heads, first, to Protestantism, and, secondly, to what is natu rally of especial interest to the writer as a Catholic, 0 to the Catholic religion in the United Kingdoms., nay to a certain extent even it might be said, i a the whole vast area of the British eml\i' re. A couple of chapters, he finds sufficient for hi s second book or division. The earlier of the tic o re lating to Justice, the later to Legislation. Three chapters make up the third Book : the first having regard to the Homo Department ; the second to Foreign Affairs, as well as to the Army and Navy ; the third to our Financial system. Firally three chap ters are the subdivisions of the fourth book—havieg reference, the first, to counties,the second to parishes, the third to municipalities. Having recounted all which, the scheme of the whole treatise may now very readily be comprehended. And it is worth comprehending when it comes to be examined into—we hardly know which we would say by preference, whether of more worth in France or in England. Through it, the English reader:may learn, with advantage to himself, how magnanimously and appreciatively a truly liberal-minded Frenchman can survey the whole c omp li cated fabric of our Engl i sh Institu tions. Through it, moreover, the French reader may learn, with advantage to himself, how much real liberty is fostered here in England under our political, judicial, and administrative institutions—as the reigning Emperor, his Mejesty Napoleon 111., took occasion to remark hardly twelve months ago, when pronouncing a panegyric upon our English institution s in words that M. de Franqueville has, in this book of his, unconsciously, it may be, but most effectively enforced—words that (some of them at least) even M. de Montalem bert himself might have articulated as the cham pion of true Liberty and the admirer of a strictly Constitutional form of government.
