It is arnuhing to note the extraordinary out-burst cf excitemen among our gallant neighbours on the other side of the Channel, litiause of Vermouth, the winner of the ,trend Prix da Paris, so winning that great race as actm lly to beat Blair Athol, the win ner of the Derby. That the lovers of le Sport in Frfince should be greatly delighted at this double victory is only natunil, and what might in reason haute been expected. Our one surprise, and not cn'y our surprise but regret, is this—that they sihonld kayo shown temper in giving utterance to their exultation. Hitherto we have always h6,d the highest possible ollinion of the good taste, not only of a Frenchman, but of a great throng of Frenchmen. Their politeness has heretofore bt e P such that we sb Quid hardly have been disposed to dub any crowd of them a mob. Within the last few days, however, we have had reason to revise this long cherished opinion of our neighbours. And to revise it very much indeed to our regret. The fact being simply that the excited multitude who hailed the triumph of Vermouth the other day with so very blatant an enthusiasm, did so in a manner characterised by the very worst taste imaginable. Not satisfied with cheering the victor, they must needs revile the vanquished. And this not simply by sarcastic or sardonic looks, or by ironical implication. Nothing of that kind—no: but—wonderful to tell of a French crowd, for once we must say of a French mob, admirably well dressed, and talking that politest of lan guages with the best possible Parisian accent — wonderful to tell, we say, in regard to such a throng of well-equipped and well-educated Frenchmen their excitement was manifested by a djsplay of the e i vilest and varigarist possible bad taste. Cheering Vermont . l aind his rider, of co urse , was a ll we ll and . , good, perfectly en r eg l e w i t h t h e usages o f Vermont civilised society upon a racecourse. But hissing with a storm of hisses Blair Athol and his jockey CHAL LON ER! Well, really one would hardly have looked for worse taste than that at a donkey race got up some where upon a bit of waste ground at Hockleysin•the- Hole at a gathering of costermongers. Cheer as loudly asyou like, 0 polite Frenchmen! But—hiss the stranger who comes amongst you as your guest,either to triumph or to bo vanquished, according to the chances of the turf—well, in honest truth, we should never have given you credit for it ! That the win ning of a great prize like this one of 100,000 francs, and winning it, too, over the Derby Winner, should have roused the unsophisticated sportsmen of Fiance to a singular pitch of enthusiasm, is only what might have been looked for. Nay the patriotic significance of that enthusiasm of theirs, even in their pastimes, we frankly and heartily sympathise with. Insomuch that we read, if not with a sense of complacency, with a feeling of very sincere satisfaction, what is thus remarked upon this point by our able Parisian con temporary the Constautionnel • where we find it said—" Popular enthusiasm is a:ways a touching spectacle, and a fact worthy of attention. The great topic of conversation at present is the indescribable scene which took place on Sunday on the racecourse in the Bois de Boulogne. In deed, not to bs struck at so marked a demon• stration would be impossible. Above all was re marked the spontaneous expression of the na tional feeling, exalted by one of those successes to which patriotism is never indifferent, and to which it was still more sensible on Sunday. The cry of ' Vive l'Empereur!' was raised by every voice, and it was to the Imperial stand that the unanimous acclamations of an immense popula tion were directed. The more sudden and spon- taneous th© demonstration, the more was it a touching homage to the Sovereign whose name is for the people the natural formula of every joy, as it is the symbol of all greatness." But—the turning of this into an anti English manifestation again we say it —is the worst possible taste—is the vilest, vulgarest act well imaginable. The Ministers may find that they are not let off so easily as they imagine after all about the Con ference. On Monday they were in a very awkward position, and not all the savoir faire of the noble lord at the head of the GovErnment could extricate him from his difficulty. Times are sadly changed from the goad old days when the Premier's speeches were always received with cheers and enlivened by laughter. Now we meet with ominous expressions of dissent, and frequently the very decisive remark of " oh, oh," is beard in the full flaw of his elo quence. Aspiring statesman and ambitious novices may learn a useful lesson from this peculiar state of things, and discover that the most popular Minis ter may presume too far on the forbearance, kind ness, and partiality of his immediate adherents and of the public generally. Nothing could be more unsatisfactory than the tone in which the noble lord replied to all the inquiries put to him on a subject of vital interest to so many. First of all, he did not know, or would not tell if he did know, the leading points on which information was desired. It seems more than probab!e that the armistice will not con tinue much longer, and then all this delay and hindrance in the prosecution of the business of the ' Conference will have answered its purpose and gained the wished-for delay. Indeed, it seems doubtful if the plenipotentiaries will again assemble before the expiration of the term fixed upon for the continuance of the armistice. It is too much to expect the members of the Legislature tamely to submit to all this subterfuge and not to take heed to the ways of those who seem to hold out delusive expectatioas to all within their reach, and then to fulfil no fair sounding promise, but to allow it to wither and droop for want of realisation. Mr. DISRAELI'S speich was an entire success from beginning to end. It was one of his happiest efforts, when he showed forth in striking colours the shuffling policy and unequal conduct of the Government, and exhibted the wrong system on which all their plans were founded. First of all he explained the importance of the House maintaining its reserve upon the question of peace or war when the Government have that weighty matter to discuss among themselves. This rule, however, may be carried too far, and as there are limits to all things, so the extreme reticence that has hitherto marked the House on both sides must be considered, in order to take cognizance of matters which are of most grave importance, and intimately connected with the honour of England, the well-bein g of other nations, and the general character that we have to uphold before the nations o f world, as to our will or efficiency to protect an a dangerou s and destroying enemy. The day y y ofrofgmrace is past, so far as relates to the secrecy all should be enveloped in that eternally pervades thi s Conference. There mason why It is cansue such Cimmerian noo m r e c r a i not at all the way to impress the foreign plenipotentiaries with a notion of our vast consequence and i mmense in f i nance if they find that the English Ministers dare not allow the public to hear what they are talking about, and that all must be done of any conse quence before a whisper transpires which might arouse and excite the public attention, and Wake the slumbering wrath of the community. Those who planned the delightful surprise for us may find a change is also awaiting them, and their maeceavres may fail after all, nor bear the garish light of day when at last it falls upo n their re condite structure. Mr. DisRAELI's speech may well serve for an analysis of the whole affair of this Conference, and if anything was wanting to complete its triumph, it was the very indignant manner i❑ which Lord PALMERSTON replied to the strictures of his political opponent. The most important point in this mat ter is, that the House is not aware of the principles upon which the Government are now acting. Mr. DISRAELI remarked that they had frequently been told that it was the intention of her Majesty's Ministers to maintain Vie Treaty of 1852 ; they went into the Conference to maintain it inviolate, bat now there was every reason to fear that the very men who were ready to go to war some months beck for the furtherance of this o . set were now N, sacrificing this principle, and giving up th e integ rity and independence of Danmark. The right hon. gentleman delivered some warnings to the Treasury Benches, which it is to be hoped that they will heed, if not, the day will come when the country will call upon them to deliver up a strict and solemn account. Whether their mischievous polcy be checked or not, in time to avert the worst consequences from Denmark, they will not escape with impunity for their unworthy course of action, If they aro not conducting the momentous affairs at this critical juncture after the fashion they de ) clared it was their intention to do, they are deceiving the country and trifling with Parliament. Honour demands that they should keep all their promises to a foreign State who has trusted to their honour and relied on their goodwill, but they have also duties to perform to their own people. The House of Commons, which is the tribunal that judges of their actions, is the last place where mystery and reserve should reign paramount. The best way to judge of the merits of a particular course of pro ceeding is to consider its effects. Suppose the direful reports we hear on all sides are correct; suppose the rumours that reach us from neighbouring lands not so restricted for information as we are, are proved to be genuine, what will be the result ? Denmark will be ruined, and chiefly through the instrumentality of England. Meanwhile there is nut a public meeting that takes place, there is no affair of moment that occurs, where some tribute is not paid to the Courage and constancy of the Danes, and the most striking testimony afforded of the earnest and heartfelt sympathy which the people of England feel towards the oppressed and injured country of Denmark. All this goodwill is to be useless, all this kind sentiment is to be thrown away, tecause the Government are resolved to carry out their own peculiar notions. If they are put in office to represent the wishes of the people and carry out the policy of the House of Commons, they are bound to let it be known what is their policy and what not. Mr. DISRAELI truly stated that if her MAJESTY'S Government " were themselves partici pating in the partition of Denmark, which only five months ago they were stirring up an European war to prevent, then it was a mockery of the House of Commons if, under such circumstances, Lord PALMERSTON remained silent. The noble lord might raise laughs from his own supporters, who app ar to think life or death, the prosperity or adversity of nations are alike the legitimate subjects of ridicule, but he will find himself grievously mistaken in the long run. Mr. OSBORNE, who is always a sharp observer of events, and can chronicle them in a smart style, has foretold the doom of the Ministers in his laughable simile of the monks of La Trappe. He said the noble lord and his friends were emulating them in silence, and he did not know if they were also digging their own graves. If so, they will not have the satisfaction of saying, with the French monarch—" All is lost but our honour." 1 Metropolitan improvements are the order of the day, and the relief of our crowded thoroughfares is a ms tter that is continually before the public in some form or another. The lines that are running to and fro and frightening London from its pro priety, are all projected, professedly, for the public convenience. They turn people out of doors and bring their houses about their ears entirely to save them the trouble of going an extra mile when they want to travel, They were so anxious to consult the convenience of the City, more especially, that they were quite prepared to swallow up one-eighth of its whole surface for the good of the remaining aeven parts. Citizens, however, took objection to this very wholesale way of doing business, and were as loth() to be dispossessed of their grim offices and dusky marts as any landed proprietor of his old estates or belongings. Westwards, however, the state of things is different. There the complaint is iot of over interference, but of too little. The aristocratic denizens of the localities where Temple Bar is out of sight and hearing, are beginning to discover that their part of the metropolis has had no share in the changes of recent days. They are unwilling that affairs should so be left, and that the busy rival worlds of North and South-west should have no means of general communication between Bond-street and Kensington. This grievance has long been greatly felt by those residing in these localities, and it was brought prominently forward by Lord LUCAN the other night in the Upper House. The noble earl, not content to complain of an evil, without at the same time suggesting a remedy, proposed that Hamilton-place, now looking on with stately indifference on the bustle and con fusion of Park-lane, should bo opened as a thorough- fare for carriages and cabs, which, in those aristo cratic quarters, are the principal means of convey ance. This would certainly relieve the crowd and the pressure en one particular street, although it does not tend much to shorten the distance at pre sent existing between the two nearest available highroads. Nobody proposes to send the stream of business vehicles pouring through Hyde Park, where, indeed, they are as likely to come to a dead lock on a gay afternoon in the season as they are in Park- lane itself. As, then, the park tenet be left altogether out of the calculation, it would be wise to secure the line of communication nearest to it. At least we should have fewer complaints of the perils of Park-lane, through whose winding and narrow entrance now pour the omnibuses coming from the Great Western and Victoria Stations, be sides the cabs that are bound on the same journey, and a myriad of other vehicles on varioua errands. To add to the general confusion there is a corn chandler's establishment in the narrow part of the lane, with carts perpetually loading and unloading ; and two public-houses, before which Lord LUCAN declares he never passes without seeing a gentle man's carriage standing blocking the road; and this declaration is very easy of belief. For a dis tance of one hundred and fifty yards from Piccadilly the width from kerbstone to kerbstone, of this disputed passage is according to the noble earl's statistics, only 18 feet 6 inches. This, as will be at once apparent to the most uninformed, is a width totally disproportionate to the demands of the traffic. The Duke of CAM BRIDGE observed that since he bad lived where he does this traffic had enormously increased, owing chiefly to the Victoria Station. Formerly there were no omnibuses passing up and down Park-lane, whereas now there is a regular service of them, and, as may bo easily imagined, the communication be tween the. two western stations is constant and extensive. Railways, while they relieve traffic it, one way, greatly increase it in another, and when the only means of communication between two such busy and important stations as these two western ones is restricted virtually to one street, and that oae with an entrance two narrow and crowded to be convenient for the purpoEes of ordinary traffic, the confusion and annoyance that results may be easily imagined. At th e t i me of the first Exhibition Park-lane presented a curious spectacle. So great was the commotion and so intricate the stoppages and deadlocks which the vehicles arrived at, that it was found necessary to station no less than three policemen at the part where it joins Picea. dilly. The plan of opening the top of Hamilton- place could bo E ffected without much expense, delay, or trouble, and it would at ones relieve the pressure by giying Rnother entrance, It would no ilh i0ND0747, WEDNESDAY EVI4]NiNG, JUNE 8, 1864 nflict so mach inconvenience on the owners of the houses in Hamilton-place, as might appear at first sight, since the front of those houses is towards the park, and consequently only the back rooms look out on Hamilton-place. Besides, as it is only proposed to allow cabs and carriages to go through it, and it is ridiculous to suppose that any one who is so fastidious as to quiet and seclusion would fix their dwelling in the close vicinity of so gay and busy a highway as Piccadilly, Lord LUCAN declared his belief that if a satisfactory arrangement could be come to between the local authorities and the lessees the necessary improvements in Hamilton-place would not exceed five or six thousand pounds. Therefore they could be effected without the aid of an Act of Parliament, since no Act is necessary where the alteration does not exceed £50,000. But allowing that the expenses would be greater and the difficulties more formidable than the noble Earl seems to suppose, wither a question of a few thou sands, nor the opposition of private parties, should be suffered to defeat a scheme whose object is so entirely for the public good. We shall hope to hear this matter discussed and considered at another opportunity. The Attitude of Spain Towards Peru, The Madrid Gazette, of the 3d of June, contains the following report of the explanations given on the 2d June in the Congress, by the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, in reply to a Tacstion of Signor Lasala : "The Queen's Government, though resolved to await fresh despatches from Signor Salazir upon the recent events in Peru, deemed it necessary thct its policy should be thoroughly understood ; and, having no views that it cannot avow in the face of the world, it has hastened to address to its repre sentatives in Paris, London, and 'Washington a declaration which it considers necessary, in order that the intentions of Spain should not be doubted. It is as follows : THE CHIEF SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS. "' Aranjaez, May 24, 1864. " When the present Ministry were honoured by becoming the counsellors of her Majesty, your Ex cellency knows that the resident minister in Peru, Signor Eusebius Salazar y Mazarredo, had already proceeded to Peru, with the mission of urging com plaints concernin g the sad events of Talambo. One of my first cares wa3 to study this affair, and after wards to write confidentially to Sig. Salazar, recom mending him to use the utmost prudence in the accomplish:nent of his mission. It did not enter into the views of the Queen's Government to pro voke or to accept questions in those countries or in any other which were not perfectly justified, or to reject the reasonable satisfaction which might be given to it in any case in which the honour and the interats of the nation necessitated persistence. The last mail from America brought the despatches of Signor Salazar, indicating the unfortunate turn taken by this affair, but they do not clearly 'lull.. cite what Signor Salazar proposed to do. Com pelled to await other despatches which will doubt less give us some explc nations, I have felt bound to address to your excellency the present despatch, reiterating to you the assurance, in order that it may always serve as the rule of your conduct and in your interviews with the Government to which you are accredited, and the Spanish Government does not deny the ind.pendence of any American State, and it has no territorial pretension upon that part of the world. The differences that it has had, or that it may have, with the republics of the New World will not make it abandon the prudent line of moderation which it has followed, and which it will continue to follow ; on the contrary, it will always regard them as misfortunes, and will try to terminate them as quickly as possible without de manding anything more than is claimed by its honour and its well understood interests. God protect your Excellency.", "The chamber can judge of the frankness and good faith with which the Queen's Government has pro ceeded. In its differences with the American States the Spanish Government, which has no craving fur American territory, will act as all civilised nations act, Protecting merely its interests and its dignity. After this declaration, which dates from May 24th, the Government adds that it has received no fresh despatch from Signor Salazar. It knows, es mem bers know, what the newspapers say of this affair. They deplore these sad events. It naturally awaits the despatches of Signor Salazar. It cannot be ex pected to come to a conclusion before hearing the ' representatives of Spain in Peru, and in the present state of the question it cannot present any docu ments whatever. Let the chamber take note of the formal declaration that I her o ma k e , na mely, that the Queen's Government does not wish in any way to attack the independence of American nations, that it does not desire to make any conquest, or to augment its territory in those regions, but that it energetically sustain in this question, as in every other, what the dignity and interests of Spain demand." Signor Lasala in reply expressed his satisfaction with this official declaration, and said that until fresh despatches arrived judgment must necessarily be suspended upon the subjct. Letter• of the lion, Mrs, Yelverton. The following is a portion of that letter of Mrs, Yelverton's, which, in the House of Lords yester day, the Lord Caanceller characterised as 0120 Pi the most beautiful ho bad ever road Miss LONG WORT!' TO MAJOR YELVERTON. Mors DE Marti; May G. Caro Carlo Mio,—You can only write at night. Is that the reason .7ou write so seldom ? I c an write to you any hour of the day or night, and do not require either the silent night or the muse of darkness to place me en rapport with you. Tt is my only pleasure now, and I labour under the delusion peut-etre that it is one to you. Oh! I want you so much to come. All nature is so lovely that it is a sin not to rejoice with her in her smiling bright new dress. The hills are white with daisy and the valleys green with fresh moss—the trees are all loaded withvaried blossoms, an d the air is heavy with delicious odours—the r e i s a south wind breathing warmth and telling me of you —all the littl e bir ds are chorusing in joyo us me lody. Existence is perfect bliss to them. T wo o f th e m are lovingly contem plating constructing a little settlement near my window, and there they are chattering and con sulting about it all day long. Thubtless they have no uncle to prohibit their future visions of happiness in their little mud wall. I wish I were a bird to be able to choose another bird, and then sit in a tree and be sung to. The sea is as clear and bright as a mirror, or one's first dream of love; and the por poises are splashing and rolling a bout in th e very height of enjoyment. Th e y all go swimming toge ther, and do not condemn one to live solitary even in the loveliest sea grotto. The very insects go dancing and sparkling in the sunshine. They seem in a perfect ecstacy of delight, and never know when to stop; their small humming makes an ae• companiment tc the rest of nature' s music. Beau tiful little flowers are cliegirtg to and fraternising with grim old stones; clear rippling water is whispering the sweetest things to loving, listening mossy banks. Ail things have found a sympathiser but I. alone ; so you must come,' and ° R li a-may inky go." Why should man alone be diecotdant ? Why should :© nut enjoy the lovely things of the earth like a!1 other created creatures? Why should he for ever toil and never reap the fruit ? The Fates heard my lament on my solitude, and sent me a sympathiser. _.—• - TILE CASE OF A STOLEN WlLL.—Senterce given yesterday in the C,,urt of Probate by Sir J, P, Wild e in the cause of Quick v. Quick. It will be remembered that a convict at Portland, named Charles Is:enable, stated that he had destroyed the will of the testator, an attorney in Eiy-place, while he was robbing hie house, 7, Lawn. road, Haverstock-hill. The learned judge said he had no doubt that a will had been made as alleged, but he could find no reason, either from principle or authority, to justify tho re ception of evidence respecting the deceased's declaration as to what his will contained. S% hat he had stated about it was mere hearsay, end could not be admitted. There was there fore nothing of which the Court could grant probate, Pro bate was refused with coats, LATEST INTELLIGENCE, [REUTER'S TELEGRAMS. ] s RECALL OF THE RUSSIAN MINISTER FROM ROME, ST.

Upon this point there is neither truce nor pardon, and, though less apparent in the eyes of Europe than the war against Denmark, this internal and diplomatic war is not less pas. sionate." The following remarks of the Botschafter of Vienna seem to confirm, as far as Austria is con cerned at least, the assertions of the foregoing letter. The Botschafter says :—" We understand that the Duke of Augustenburg is expected at Vienna. The duke knows that Austria has taken the initiative in his favour, and the tact which he has displayed in circumstances of difficulty shows that he will pay as much regard for the conquerors of Oberselk and of Oversee, and for the comba tants of Heligoland, as for the vanquishers of Duppeli The duke's visit gives us much pleasure for another reason. It is a certain proof that the duke has not engaged in any military convention, or anything of the kind, with Prussia; for he knows that that would secure !aim a very cold re ception. As it is, the duke may be certain of the most distinguished welcome, and we congratulate ourselves that things have taken such a turn that official sympathies are now directed towards Vienna —the living symbol of the German cause." THE CHARMS OF STREET MUSIC.--If you are going to put down everything, and do away with everything in this way, T want to know what a gentleman of independent property like myself is to (to ? how am Ito he amused during the long hours of the day, when there is nothing doing in the Haymarket ? As I said before, you have left me nothi ng t o b eat ; you won't let me aid and abet a fight ; you forbid me to match my dog or my game cocks ; and now you are going to deprive me of my barrel organ—that sweet box of tunes, which comes, as I lie on the sofa smoking my cigar, to soothe me with Il Balen, and The Young Man from the Country, and the Dark Girl dressed in Blue. Oh, how I love that dark girl dressed in blue ! I have never seen her, but music has painted all her charms, and I know that she is a smart young girl, a tall young girl, a nice young girl, and a dark young girl. All this in a flowing blue skirt. What a picture I It ravishes my soul I I send out a shil ling to poor Giovanni, and bid him play over again and again, There are two lady patronesses of Giovanni's a few doors down on the other side cf the way. Charming girls tLey are, with pink cheeks and frizzy hair, and nearly always sitting out in the balcony in low dresses. I fancy they ate orphans, poor things, for I never see any one at the window who looks like a parent. They are passionately fond of music, and keep the organ-men playing to them for hours, and always pay them well; for I am happy to say that, though orphans, they appear to be well cff, and go out in a brougham. There is another ardent lover of music at num ber one, an old gentleman who had a fortune left him on condition that he drove out every day in a coach and four. He has a organ to play to him at all his meals, and when the painter fellow, at number two, runs out with a maul stick in his hand to drive the musician away, the old gen tlema- has him into the garden, and makes him play there. There is another cantankerous man near me, who is always rushing out at th e p oor f e ll ows an d sett i ng th e police upon them. I d on 't k now who he is; but ho s i ts a t a wind ow all day long wr i t i ng, and appears to wor k f or his living. A pretty thing 1 if independent persons like myself, and the , old gentleman, an d t h e two pretty l a di es , are to be deprived of our pleasure to suit the whims and fancies of mere work people. The c once it o f t h e f e ll ows w ho," study," as they call is, is perfectly ricliculeue,—.Dickens s "all the Year Round," LITERATURE, Le Correspondant d'Avril et de Mai. Charles Douniol. Several articles of unusual interest are comprised in these two numbers of Le Correspondant. Upon the article leading off the later of the two, the one but just now published, we have already commented in our leading columns. The argument therein put forth, it may be remembered, had relation to the affairs of Poland, and emanated from the hand of no less illustrious a writer, publicist, statesman than the Count de Montalembert. We spoke of it at the time as one of the moat impressive and re markableappeals to the nobler sympathiesof Europe that has ever been addressed to his contem poraries even by M. de Montalembert. Turning back to it again, hearkening once more to these eloquent and impassioned utterances, we are more than ever of that opinion. It is a cry of love, of pity, of homage, of sympathy for that most cruelly oppressed among all the European nationalities—a cry ao piercing and persuasive that, brit for the miserable record of these last seventy years of Rus sian cruelty and European apathy, we might almost hope for its penetrating to the conscience of the Czar and to the conscience also, we might say, of the rest of Christendom ! For, while the Czar himself is of course the chief offender in the perpetration of this hideous crime of oppression, the other Powers are guilty also with the blood-guiltiness of complicity or con nivance. The accents of the Count de Montalembert as now heard through this noble effaeion of his genius, at once as an orator, as a writer, as a states man, and as a great Christian philanthropist, raw to grateful, we may be certain, to all such earnest sympathisers with the Polish population, now living, as the hon. member for King's County—might be grateful, one is almost tempted to say in pagan phrase, to the manes of such departed champions of the cause of Poland as the late gentle hearted, noble minded Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart. At the least if inoperative of good, by reasan of the obdu racy of those whom the Count de Montalembert is addressing, namely, all the right thinking men of Christendom of all tongues and of all countries—the Count may, once more, at least, exclaim (and with how much reason !) as he has so often done before cow upon no less momentous occasions, " Liberavi anznzam meam!'' He has unburthened his BOW by giving utterance to the thoughts, emotions, hopes, aspirations, imparting so fervid an eloquence to his argument throughout this remarkable paper,entitled, "Le Pape et la Pologne"—and, while unburthen ing his own soul in so writing, he has articulated the thoughts, emotions, hopes, aspirations, lying until now dumb and unuttered in the breasts, vie, believe, of many millions of his contemporaries, Ii is with a sense of personal obligation, therefore, that we read an argument such as this of the Count Lde Montalembert's. He says for us what we caanot express—what at least tve could not thus havo expressed—for ourselves. He is again, as he has been before now so often And so well, the mouthpiece of the Conscience of Christeadorn ! It is like a light suddenly beheld in the darkness—a voice abruptly audible in the silence—a light whose radiance, a voice whose eloquence is know❑ full well to us all ! Glancing through the rest of the contents of this latest number of Le Correspondant and its immediate predecessor, we observe that Louis Joubert nes just now brought to a close his nouvelle of "Li Jeuuesse du Boyers"—that Victor Fournel has a graphic little disquisition upo❑ " Les Monumens du Nouveau Paris"—that the ex-Deputy Keller analyses rather 'searchingly the three last Budgets f the Imperial Government—that Leon Lagrange has a tribute to the memory of Ilippolyte Fiandrin (of whom, by the way, the Count de Montalembert speaks incidentally and very touchingly towards the close of his, the Count's, paper about Poland as " the most Christian and the most deeply to bo deplored among all contemporary artists")—and, finally, be it acre remarked in regard to the contents of the April number of this able periodical, that P. DJuhaire eontribates to the last publisked instalment but one of Le Correspondant a criticism very interesting, indeed, as coming from the hand of a Frenchman upon the writing and genius of the late Mr. Thaeke. ray. Perhaps the most attractive paper in the new livraison of Le Correspondant, after the inaugu rative paper of the number from the hand of the Count do Montalembert, is H. Blsza de Bury's memorial chapter upon the great composer of the "Huguenots" and "Lc Propht,e," recently de ceased. People's Edition of Macaulay's History of England, Part VIII. Longman and Company. The third volume of this wonderfully cheap and admirably got-up popular edition of Macaulay's colossal fragment of our National History, regarded from a purely Whig point of view, is here, in this eighth shilling instalmezt, duly commenced. As a piece of magnificent writing it is beyond the reach of any exaggeration in the way of praise. As an example of herculean labour, in the way of research, it becomes more and more remarkable at every fresh examination of it. But as for its free dom from bias, from prejudice, from predilection— well, the less said about all that the better. It was little else than the statement of a fact, when somebody dubbed it, years ago, on its first publi cation, A Great Whig Pamphlet. The genius of Lord Macaulay, as Sir Archibald Alison well said of it, was more forensic than judicial. Solicitors' Benevolent Association, The fourth anniversary festival of this institution 'farmed for the relief of poor and necessitous attor neys, solicitors, and proctors in England and Wales, and their wives, widows, and families, was celebrated yesterday evening at the Freemasons' Tavern. In consequence of the unavoidable ab sence of the Lord Chief Justice of England from illness, the chair was filled by Mr. T. Harrison, the deputy chairman of the association. Before pro posing the first toast, the chairman read a letter from Sir Alexander Cockburn, to the effect that he had been compelled to absent himself from his court in consequence of severe indisposition, expressing his regret on that account, declaring that he would hold himself at the service of the society on any future occasion, and containing a cheque for ten guineas. After the usual loyal toasts, Mr. Bristow, late M.P. for Kidderminster, proposed, " The Army, the Navy, and Volunteers," which wes received; with the customary enthusiasm, Captai❑ Rose returning thanks on behalf of the Volunteers. The next toasts were, " The Lord Chancellor and her Majesty's Judges," coupled with the name of Mr. Secondary Potter and the Bar, which was responded to by Mr. Wordsworth, QC. The chairman, in proposing " The Solicitors' Benevolent Association,' after expressing his regret at the absence of the founder of the association, Mr. James Anderton, said that, while in almost all other professions and calling there had long been a provision for cases of necessity, whether on the part of members themselves or of widows and orphans, there had, until recently, been no such provision in the case of that profession; yet there was, perhaps, no vocation which was more exposed to calamity. After an expensive education many e man left a widow and several orphans destitute, his own patrimony having been unavoidably expended whilst he was commencing an apparently success ful professional career; and there were various, other causes which tended to produce distress among solicitors, such as the failure of clients and ihe loss of sums advanced on their account. In conclusion the chairman remarked that that asso ciation had no antagonism towards the Law Asso ciation, but Was labouring in the same cause as that excellent institution. Among the other toasts Was that of "The Caairman," which was cordially responded to. Tao amount of subscriptions and donations announced in the course of the evening was upwards of £6OO. The musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr. W. J. Fielding, who was assisted by Miss Rose Hersee, Miss Baden, Mr. W. Cummings, and Mr, W. Wino. Mr. Har ker was the toastmaster.
