To all appearance no , :re is little chance of repealing the law of ti" IctTh• • May; and without its repeal, or even with it, tlk4e .ire less and less chances every day of any candidates getting the requisite number of suffrages for the de finitive election. The idea has gone forth amidst the provinces that Louis Napoleon may not be elected. As he was before chosen so unanimously from the be lief of every one that be would command a larger ma jority, so now the doubt of his uniting any such number of supporters is sufficient to chill many who before voted for his name. How much that name has lost of its splendour we need not say. The refusal to permit the transit of Kossuth is alone a meanness that must strike the commonest judgment. It bespeaks at once illiberalism and fear. The chances are that, since no candidate musters a sufficient number of votes for the Presidency, the decision of so important a question will com e , as b y th e C oas tit u ti on it i s ordained, to the National Assembly. And this, elected under the law of the 31st of May, will in all probability be neither Napoleonian nor republican. By introducing that law Prince Louis betrayed the Republic; but that same act of treachery contained within it retri bution, for it hung a millstone round the neck of the Prince himself. It is difficult to say whether the uni versal indifference, aversion, and contempt of the French will be greater for the President who is about to be degraded or for him who is about to be promoted. THE GREAT EXHIBITION- It seems odd after a lengthened account of the closing on Saturday still to be writing under the old familiar title, but the Exhibition though dead, is not buried yet, and until Wednesday it may be said to lie in state, viewed with mingled feelings of regret and affection by its surviving friends and late sup porters. Yesterday there was a numerous attendance of exhibitors and those introduced by them in the building. Relieved from the pressure of public cu riosity, they examined leisurely and enjoyably every object of interest, nor could one help acknowledging the propriety of an arrangement by which the last views of so many wonders has been reserved for those who created them. Earliest and most conspicuous among the arrivals during the day came the Queen herself, entitled to be present not only as the first per sonage in the realm, but also as a contributor. Her Majesty's visit was a lengthened one, and the de partment of the United States was that to which at the outset she directed her attention. She then examined with great interest the service of plate made from Calif orn i an gold, the lustre of which is very surprising. Sh e a d m i red in passing the magnificent porphyry vase exhibited by the King of Sweden, and placed in the nave during her stay in the north. Proceeding to the display of French jewellery, she paid special attention to the stall of Froment Meurice, which is well worthy even of royal inspection. and having In the T un i s i an department she remained for some time, carefully sur ve y e d th e at tractive contributions from th a t port i on of the world, she went to the h atonal Society's models of instruc tion. Moving westward along th e nave, her Ma jesty examined very minutely the woven fabrics, and here her attention was particularly dire c t e d to some new specimens of gold printing upon alpaca wools just introduced by the Messrs. Liddiards. Th e pro cess of dyeing thus illustrated is said to be irremov able, and herein it differs from that practised i n India, China, and F r a n ce, which is apt to rub off. Probably influenced by agreeable recollections of Manchester, her Majesty spent some time in examin ing the trophy which represents the staple manufac tures of that town. She also looked carefully over the sketches of artistic objects shown by Mr. Digby Wynn in the nave, and over Mr. Lloyd's views of the building. Her visit terminated shortly before twelve o'clock, with an inspection of the bronze of the negro girl in front of the Sevres-room. We are at length enabled to publish the authentic programme of the proceedings on Wednesday, and we are further enabled to announce that the Royal Commission have accepted with many thanks the offer made to them some time ago by Mr. Fox of the gratuitous services of the Sacred Harmonic So ciety on that occasion, under the direction of M. Costa. A passage occurs in the reply to Mr. Fox which would seem to restrict the services of that body to the performance of the National Anthem. The baldness of the programme, however, and the desirableness of sending all parties away with agree able impressions of their closing interview with the Commission seem to justify a more extended use of the musical talent thus liberally tendered, and really after the discordant demonstration of Saturday those who were present may fairly be exacting on this score. We understand that Dr. Wylde has written an anthem expressly for the occasion, and the pro priety of having it performed may, we should think, be confidently left to the judgment and taste of M. Costa. The programme is as follows : " PRCGRAMME OF THE PROCEEDINGS ON THE PRE SENTATION OF THE JURIES' REPORTS AND THE CLOSING OF THE EXHIBITION, ON WEDNESDAY, THE 15TH OF OCTOBER, 1851: " 1.

Her Majesty, it is rumoured, will be present, but of course not in state. Many people may be disappointed that the last acts of the Commission in connexion with the Great Exhibition are of so subdued and unceremonious a character, and looking at the public feeling on the subject, it cer tainly still seems to us a matter of regret that an undertaking so avowed at its commencement should be allowed to terminate with such meagre and shabby observances of respect. It would almost seem as if its first promoters had lost their regard for it on ac count of its popularity, a n d were g l a d t o bury it quietly after it had lived its day and served i ts pur pose. There are, however, we confess, practical wich it difficulties to be urged in favour of the course which has been determined on, and at least is now too doubt late to alter arrangements which, though they may disap point public expectation, were no made with the best intentions.

Peter's are very superior to those of the London church, Certainly Wren was a very skilful copyist in every style of architecture, in Gothic as well as Roman Italian: for the first are St. AliLthatl's and St. Dunstan's. All the other steeples, churches, or monuments erected from 1675 to 1780 in London, are more or less copies of Italy according to Searuozzi, Vignola, and other (con)founders of architecture; and there are some which are ridiculotni, enough—for instance, the steeple of St. Bennet, at the corner of Fenchurch-street and Gracechurch-street, which enjoys Greek frontispieces on the four facades surmounted by an Italian cupola, carrying for lantern an Egyptian obelisk with a spiky top. It is saddening to contemplate such an example of the distressed state in which architecture found itself in the 18th century, because it was not in London only that people fabricated at that time similar specimens of bad taste: they were produced throughout Europe.—Builder.

ROCHESTER QUARTER SESSIONS. At the Rochester Quarter Sessions, on Saturday, before James Espinasse, Esq., recorder, Edward Dann, corporal in the 64th Regiment, surrendered to his' bail, and was indicted, together with Michael Rourke, a private in the 18th Royal Irish, who was brought up in custody, for having, on the 7th of August last, at Strood, assaulted and beaten William Elijah Ire land, a constable in the employ of the South-Eastern Railway Company, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Rose was for the prose cution, and Mr. Addison for the prisoner Dann. The prosecution was instituted by the South-Eastern Railway Company. Mr. Charles Richards, station master, stated that on the evening of the 7th August, a few minutes before eight o'clock, the prisoners, ac companied by another soldier, came to the door of the private booking-office, and demanded tickets to go by the train. He told them the tickets were not issued there, and, being in a state of intoxication, he told them they bad better leave the station. About twenty minutes before the departure of the nine o'clock train they came again to the station, in a worse state of intoxication, the prisoners having their bayonets in their side belts, and placing themselves in front of the aperture where tickets are issued, de manded their tickets, which he still refused to let them have, telling them they were not in a fit state to go by the train. Both prisoners said they were de termined to go, saying if he would not let them they would let him know. Finding that they were ob structing the passengers, witness went from his office to them, when he was seized by one of the party. He called Ireland, the constable, to his assistance, when Dann ordered Rourke to draw his bayonet, and to take Ireland prisoner. Rourke immediately un sheathed his bayonet, and caught hold of Ireland, pre senting the point to his breast. Ireland called out that his life was in danger, when witness handed him a loaded pistol from the booking-office to defend him. self with, when Rourke made several lunges at Ireland with his bayonet, which he fortunately parried with his pistol, and as he was in the act of making another lunge at Ireland's side, Tomlin, the head porter, with a constable's staff, struck him on the side of the head, and knocked him down. Dann was still at the aper ture, with his bayonet drawn, flourishing it about, and causing considerable alarm, the station being crowded with passengers. Confirmatory evidence having been given, the jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, found the prisoners guilty, on the fourth count, of a common assault, and recommended them to mercy on account of character. The Judge, ad dressing the prisoners, said they had been found guilty by the jury, who had taken a most merciful view—a most merciful view, indeed, of the case. They might congratulate themselves to the end of their lives that death did not ensue from their out rageous conduct. He considered their offence of a very serious nature. From the uniform they wore they were looked upon as a, protection to their coun trymen ; but that uniform, he was sorry to say, they had disgraced. He should take into consideration ' their previous character. Dann he sentenced to be imprisoned for four calendar months, and Rourke, considering the nine weeks he had already been in gaol, to the further term of two calendar months. was by no means their espousal of Red Republicanism, which was far from being proved at the moment in question. What justified alarm was the fact that, at each successive election, a larger number of electors declined to take the trouble of voting, and that, as the occasions for exercising the franchise were multi plied, the comparatively few who did take part in them were obviously more and more disposed to no ininate a candidate haphazard. France seemed 'doomed, more than ever, to see her prosperity and her peace made the sport of wantonness or chance : The danger was not attended by the suepicious circum stance that none but alarmists beheld or admitted it. Sincere republicans, like Lamartine, lamented it in public, and suggested the statutory prohibition of the ticket system—or scrutin do liste —as the meet convenient remedy for a formidable evil. The same view was subsequently adopted by M. de Tocque villa in his memorable Report on the Revision of the Constitution ; but the course rent :mended, though backed by the authority of so great a name, can hardly be looked upon as anything but a mere mechanical expedient, which is in the highest degree unlikely to amend an organic defect. The source of heedlessness in the constituencies was their total want of preparation for the large measure suddenly con ceded to them—we will not say of liberty, of which they enjoyed as little as ever, but—of the right to in terfere at certain intervals in the concerns of the State. The very serious crisis which has just arisen will have the effect of shortly supplying us with data upon which we can found an approval or condemnation of the restrictive law, much more fairly than on the con jectural knowledge of its wqrking which is all that we possess at present. It is certain that, against whatever good it has produced, there is an exten sive 'set-off in the perilous „irritation of the classes which it has deprived of . tEe suffrage. That part of the population which is at present on the out side of the electoral pale has been becoming not simply Socialist, but revolutionary, from a sense of the injustice which has been done in de grading it below others who are not superior to it in intelligence, or in wealth, or in public consideration. Nor, again, is it sstisfactorily established that the re duced constituencies are a whit better fitted for the faithful acquittal of the trust which has been lodged with them than the larger bodies which they super seded. The privileged voters are almost as little dis posed as their predecessors to walk a mile or two with the view of depositing a ballot. It is true that the representatives whom they nominate more uniformly belong to the Moderate section of the Assembly ; but if the elector be no more considerate, and the deputy no less factious than before, nothing is gained but the avoidance of a contest, at the cost of establishing an electoral system against which a powerful minority of the nation has recorded a standing protest. Better information may, indeed, exhibit the direct results of the change in a more favourable light. But there can be no question as to its indirect consequences. The public history of the period which has elapsed since the law of May 31 ,has been one long tissue of private bickerings, open conflicts, and underhand intrigues, upon which neither the President nor any section of the Assembly would have ventured, unless the cur tailment of the franchise had produced a feeling of security which left the mind open to the indulgence of every political predilection and factious passion. The fear of Socialism constituted the Conservative majority—relief from that fear dissolved the party. "We are disputing," said M. de Montekaabert, " about the skin of the bear, which is not yet dead." The bear, in effect, is alive, and as dangerous as ever. The prima facie contradiction between the the electoral law and the text of the Constitution gives the Republican Opposition a vantage-ground which it never occupied before; and the position is immensely strengthened by the obstinacy of the Pre sident's enemies in refusing to forestal the double election of next spring by voting the Revision. It is doubtful whether purely mechanical difficulties will allow that frowning defile to be safely passed, even by a disciplined army ; but it would seem more than doubtful whether it can be traversed when a third of the soldiers are in mutiny. It is an unprofitable task to attribute designs to a personage so thoroughly inscrutable as the President. His motive is suddenly declaring war against the restrictive law, and in dismissing a fa vourite Minister rather than forego his opposition, may be in the highest degree statesmanlike and patriotic ; but there are some considerations of interest so germane to the matter that it would be foolish to leave them out of the question. Louis Napoleon can hardly have been blind to the altered relation towards the coalesced statesmen of the Conservative majority, in which he has stood since be sanctioned that mea sure. Since then, they have shown him plainly that they thottertethey could do without him. So long as the Moderates and Red Republicans were struggling on the level ground of universal suffrage, the former could not afford to lose a single element of strength— much less that which was furnished by the great name of the President, and by the vast authority which he temporarily wields. But the moment that the new law gave them an artificial advan tage, they cast Bonapartism aside, and fought for their own hand. Louis Napoleon is now, to all appearance, aiming at restoring the original conditions of the conflict. He seems to feel that, with an unfettered franchise he is the only can didate whom the Conservatives could successfully op pose to a Red Republican celebrity. Then, again, there is the chance that, appalled by this fresh evi dence of his courage and his determination, they may buy him off by voting the ,revision, or by an extra constitutional prolongation of his term of power. And all calculations upon existing data, appear to establish that, if he perseveres in his hostility to the law, he can bring about its repeal. He is said to be desirous of summoning to the new Ministry M. de Falloux and 111. Odilon Barrot, both of whom are known to be of opi n i on th a t t h e restrictions were car ried too far. Even if they refuse their concurrence, there is little doubt that a majority can be consti tuted from the votes which be can command in the Assembly, added to those of the Republican Opposi tion, and of the larger number of Legitimists, who think that the law has diminished their strength in the western and southern departments. Whatever comes of it, it is beyond question that the President's decision will issue in results of the gravest importance. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. - FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OE THIS DAY. IPSES.—There is a bra n ch of statistics which bar b Mn lately forced into notice by actual events of a new and extraordinary chazacter. " The statist" no longer confines himself to populations, that is to the number of persons dwelling quietly in certain countries and cities, and such sober facts, for society itself is undergoing a change, and is no longer cm teat to dwell qtaetly. Strange to say, our railways, our steamers, and cur mastery of the ocean, have brought us back, in some respects to the habits of the Nomads an d M assagetm, or the crusaders and pilgrims of a later age. Within half a year six mil lion visits have been paid to the greet shrine of art by reasons who have travelled scores, and hundred, and thousands of miles for the purpose. Excursion trains bring up four or five thousand a day by one line of rail - way. Eighty-five thou san d c hild ren sang " God save the Queen" at M anc h ester on F r id ay , and fifsy thou sand adults repe a t e d th e h ymn t h e nex t d a y i n Hyde park. We forget how many millions are returned as having travelled by railway last year. The visits to the British Museum and the Thames Tunnel are now of the millionaire class. Twenty years ago the figure of the national debt stood alone in its glory, as the only work of man that approached to the infinite, and was really stupendous. We are now so familiar with great figures, that the national debt is descend ing, by comparison, to the level of our ordinary con ceptions. But, among all these vast figures that are becoming domesticated and vulgar, there is none so important, though so familiar, as the figures of the emigration which is actually draining these isles. We have repeated almost ad nauseam that the people are are leaving us at the retool near a thousand a day. " Very well; what of plaza ? They are only Irishmen, with a' -*spa-inkling -s'Oraelse ever-wander ing Scotch, and some of the less fortunate or re spectacle of our own countrymen." Be they what they may, the fact remains that we are witnessing a phenomenon of the same class with the migrations of the Gauls, the Goths, the Hum, the Turks, the Mag yars, and other tribes, that before the settlement of Europe roamed about looking for a home. " Fami liarity," it is said, "breeds contempt ;" and certain it is that no sooner is a great fact familiar than men treat it with indifference, and do not even seem to ap prehend it correctly, much less follow it up to its consequences. In Ireland the fact is brought home to the understanding in so forcible a manner by the actual sight of emigrant-trains, emigrant-ships, depopulated districts, ruined habitations, and labour beginning to rise in the market, that it cannot be disposed of so easily as in this country. The journals there have styled the movement the " Celtic exodus ;" and, considering the actual difference between the condition of an average Irish peasant at home and that which he easily attains to in the United States, we shall not quarrel with the reflection which the name seems to cast on the rulers left behind. The writers who treat of this exodus tell us that it will go on till the whole race is departed and their place left untenanted. Having once begun, the migration will go on; and the Strong social instincts that have hitherto bound the Irishman to the soil of his birth will now operate in drawing him into the great westward stream. In England it has been anticipated by some writers, that when the Irish population should be reduced to a certain low level, the inducements to remain would rise so high that the migration would stop, and the remnant left behind would be contentedly and permanently at tached to the soil. Tne Irish authorities, as we are disposed to think very correctly, do not expect the migration to stop as soon as the population has assumed its proper proportion to the work to be done. The people who have been in the habit of paying 303. an acre would not now remain on the land if, it were reduced to 20s. or 10s.—they will have it at no price. Their minds are completely made up to go after their friends—to go home, that home not being " Ould Ireland," but the "Far West !" The stream once set that way, it will not stop till Ireland is absolutely depopulated, and the only question is, when will that be ? Twenty years at the present rate would take away the whole of the industrious classes, leaving only the proprietors and their families, members of the learned professions, and those whose age and infirmities keep them at home. Twenty years are but a short time in treating great social or political questions. It is more than twenty years since the passing of the Emancipation Act and the introduction of the Reform Bill. What if it should really come to pass that before another twenty years the whole Celtic race shall have disappeared from these isles, . and the problem of seven centuries received its solution ? We dwell in wonderfill times, in an age of great discoveries, splendid improvements, and grand consummations. Art has always been found the handmaid of human developments. The discovery of gunpowder put an end to the little wars and little states of the middle ages, and introduced larger poli cal manipulations. The discovery of printing pre pared for the revival of learning and arts, and paved the way to the Reformation. The discovery of the mariner's compass showed our navigators a path to the East Indies and the New World. It may be the first mission of railways to set all the populations of the old world on the move, and send them in quest of independent and comfortable homes. And when will this movement stop? Incuriousness and prejudice are ready with the reply, that it will stop, at all events, when the Celtic race is exhausted. The Englishman, we are assured, is too attached to his country, and too comfortable at home, to cross the Atlantic. But surely it is very premature to name any such period for this movement, or to say beforehand what English la bourers will do, when seven or eight millions of Irish have led the way to comfort and independence. The Englishman is now attached to his own home, be cause he knows of no other. His ideas of other re gions are dark and dismal. He trembles at the thought of having to grope his way through the Cimmerian obscurity of another hemisphere. The single fact that he will have no "parish" in America, is, in his mind, a fatal bar to locomotion. But all this is quick passing away, Geography, union workhouses, ocean mails, and the daily sight of letters arriving in ten days from pr o sper ous em i grants, are f ast unroo ti ng the British r us ti c f rom th e so i l, and g i v i ng him few y ea rs the question cos mopolitan idea s .

If a quarter of a million British tlohaneiner d. h p The subjects have left this coun t ry for the Aus t ra li an co lonies in the present g enera ti on, there may easily be a much larger movement t o a nearer and more wea lth y region. It has been ima g i ne d , i ndee d , th a t suc h a migration will have a nat ura l tendency t o s t o p it se lf at a certain stage.

It will, however, c os t no mo re effort of mind to cross the ocean at onc e th an to cross the Irish Channel for a land 'which, in the English mind, must ever be associated with violence and blood. High wages, again, we are told, the enjoyment of a liberal government, and an improved condition, will bind the Englishman afresh to the soil of his ances tors.

It is , of course, illogical, and cont r a r y to the principles of free government, to pare down electoral bodies and to cur tail the privilege of giving expression to political sentiment, simply as a means of shutting out a parti cular party from power, or a particular policy from ascendancy, even though the party be Socialist, and the policy revolution enpermanence. But in the eyes of reflecting men the fault of the French constituencies HERALD.—It is unhesitatingly stated, by Whigs who mingle and live with the members of the Cabinet, that the meeting of that body, summoned for this day, will have to consider and resolve upon the gene ral principles of the new Reform Bill. The state ment appears to us improbable ; but we receive it from quarters which can hardly be mistaken. We regard it as improbable, because, except Parliament is to meet in November, it is manifestly unwise to de velop so early a measure which must greatly agitate the public mind; and which, if it be laid before a meeting of a dozen gentlemen in October, can hardly remain a profound secret until February next. How ever, as we have sa id, th e f ac t i s t h at W higs of a high rank, and wh o d a il y assoc i ate w i t h C ab i net Mi nisters, believe, and state, that the measure to be debated this afternoon is the new Reform Bill. And this naturally leads our thoughts to the character of that measure. We expected that little would be heard of the tenour or details of the scheme until it was opened by Lord John Russell in the House of Commons. And, therefore, we felt dis posed to avoid useless speculation so long beforehand. If, however, the measure is to see the light so long before its Parliamentary appearance, it is time that we began to make up our minds about it. We have often expresssed our hope—and from Mr. Disraeli's late allusiun to the subject we trust that that hope I will be realised—that the new measure of reform, whenever it appeared, would not be received by the Conservative party in a hostile spirit. There is no thing in the present electoral system to command the respect or attachment of the Conservative party. It possesses no antiquity, it offers no claims to deference arising from its parentage or origin ; and it has cer tainly worked to the satisfaction of no party : gaining the praise of neither Whigs, Radicals, nor Conserv atives. If, then, it is now condemned by its own au thors and patrons, sured it may be removed without a struggle; it is no concern of ours to preserve any portion of the fabric. But while we remain in this neutral and indif ferent state of mind as to the abolition of the prompt system, it will behove us to see that the new scheme is conceived and framed without any great and pal pable unfairness. We . have said, and we are inclined to continue in that opinion, that it will not he easy to invent a worse system than that which is about to be condemned. Yet we must admit the possibility— first, of retaining all the worst points in the Reform Bill of 1831-2 ; and secondly, of framing the rest of the new plan after the fashion of those worst points: To oppose any scheme of this kind the Conservative part must hold themselves fully p repare d . T he chief faults of the Bill of 1831-2 were found by exper i ence The to be-1. constituencies it created in the large towns. 2. The constituencies it created or left in the small towns. Both w ere a lik e b ad, though widely differing in character. The great towns,—and more especially the metropolitan boroughs,—were made the strongholds of R a di ca li sm. The small towns were delivered over to bribery. Let us look at these two features ap ar t. Of the mo b- const it ue ncies created in the metropolitan boroughs, and in such tQW II B WI Manchester and Birmingham, we s hall say nothing more than the Times said of them somewhat more than a year ago. When discussing the Lam beth election of August, 1850, it used this lan guage : " Lambeth, then ; on the occasion of the present elec tion is likely to become another illustration oaf the down ' ward tendencies of the metropolitan constituencies. We use the word tendency' advisedly, for matters are worse than they have been, sad we can perceive no symptom of a turning tide. Lot us leave the names of individuals aside, and simply consider the metropolitan Members :Is a body, and naat is their main employment in the douse of Commons? Is it not rut.inly to represent the sdfish interests and blind prejudices of the less patriotic or Itss enlightened portion of their constituents whenever any change is proposed manifestly for the public benefit? Looking at their rotas, one would suppoEe me:repo litan M.:mber to he rather a Pa, Haim - wary agent of the drovers, and sextons, and undertskers, than a re presentative of one of the most important constituen cies of the kingdom. Is this downward pro gress of the metropolitan represeutatioa to continue un changed ? Will it be extended to other constituencies as soon as they shall be brought nr.dcr conditions ana logous to those under which the metropolitan electors exercise the franchise ? Th e question is of no small interest. Whether the fault be with the electors or with those who should have the nerve to come forward and demand their suffrages, matters not for the purposes of the argument. The fact remains unalter e d. S uppos i ng England throughout its area were repr esente d as the various boroughs of the metropolis are r epresented at pthoeinpt for res coentntisidmee,rwathioan. what would be the effect? T hat is the j ou l r t n i a etts d i l ed,then, by mainstay Liberal present Government= that to increas e th e proportion of large t own or metropolitan b oroug h re pr es entatives would b e to deteriorate the c h arac t er o f that Assembly, an d ofthe ib eral end Free-trade probably endanger th e Constitution itself. With this opinion on record, will it be possille to proceed in the creation o f an y more s uch constituencies ? as Sudbury, As to the smaller b oroug h s , such Harwich, St. Alb ans , &c., it is now abundantly evident that the Reform Bill rendered them far worse than they had previously been. Up to the year 1830 the wealthy men who desired to find seats in Parliament by purchase usually addressed themselves to the dealers in the close or rotten boroughs. In a large number of these the electors were merely some ten or a dozen persons, dependents on the borough patron. He received some 2,000/. or 3,0001. for the seat, and provided for them, the electors, by situa tions of various kinds, obtained by the use of his local or Parliamentary influence. All this is now at an end ; but one consequence is that the whole body of purchasers is thus thrown upon the small towns now returning Members to Parliament. Hence, more open corruption—more buying of votes in the market place, exists at present than was known previous to 1830. Tho whole state of things has become so much worse that there is no denying the want of some legislative remedy. The Times, when alluding to these things some time since, foolishly said that these towns must be disfranchised, and the seats given to more of the large towns, such as Leeds and Man chester. The fact absurdly overlooked by the Times was, that all the large towns are already enfranchised; and that new Manchesters and Sheffields to receive the franchise cannot be invented or created. It follows that when the miner and corrupt boroughs are thrown into a new Schedule A, it will be inevitable that the franchises taken from them must be bestowed on the English counties. And for this, apart from the ne cessity of the case, there is abundant cause to be shown. The Radicals complain, that it is unjust that Harwich should have as potent a voice in Parliament as Manchester. Just as unequal and as unjust is it, that Hertford and St. Alban's, two petty towns, should return as many members to Parliament as the freeholders of the county of Devon. Or, to turn to Essex itself, when you have put Harwich and Maldon into Schedule A, where will you bestow the seats with nearly so much justice as on the county of Essex, which with half a million of people sends only four 'members to the House of Commons ? It is because these consequences appear to us plain and inevitable, that we are not at all indisposed to a reconstruction of the whole electoral system. So far from doing harm we believe that if it be fairly carried on such a recon struction will give us a fairer, a more honest, and a more Conservative House of Commons than any we have yet seen. DAILY NEWS.—Never, perhaps, was there so striking an example of a man's being caught in his own trap as that of Louis Napoleon and the law of the 31st of May. By this name is known the Par liamentary decree disfranchising two or three mil lions of the French people. When the metropolis returned a large majority of Socialist members, the Conservatives instantly resolved to punish Paris by disfranchising its artisans. This they did effectually by ordaining that none should have a vote without proving that he had been domiciled and employed in iris present locality for a certain time. But the working class, and more than the working class in great towns, is for ever changing. Then their em ployers' signature was required to establish the claim of the employed. This, under u hund re d p re t ex t s , might be withheld. And thus some two or three out of the six millions of French electors were de• prived of their right of suffrage by the Assembly, and with the consent and co-operation of the President. The latter was at the time, no doubt, persuaded that the best chance of being continued in power lay in his conciliating the middle, the propertied, and timid classes, together with the c onserva ti ve par t y i n the Assembly, which was their champion. Accord ingly he consented to fling the people overboard. And now it appears that Louis Napoleon's only chance is from the votes of these very people whom he disfran chised, every shade of the Parliamentary parties having turned against him. The President, therefore, after shutting the popular flood out of the elections for his own purpose on the 31st of May, would now open the sluices and let the popular flood in again to float him. But to this the Assembly, of course, stands opposed, and with the Assembly every knot of statesmen that hope to exist by either the favour or tolerance of the Assembly, or that undertake to carry on the Government in accord with the majority. The signal for the President's standing out and in sisting upon the repeal of the law of the 15th of May, was given in a leading article of the Constitutionnel, signed Granier de Cassagnac. It may here be re marked, that articles in the journals of France seem to have all the same prestige and to wield the same influence, when signed by individuals, as when they were expressed in the collective or editorial we. Never was the French press more powerful, or its weight more felt than at the present moment. No one could deny the ability with which the manifesto of the Constitutionnel against the dis franchising law was written. The Socialists, it ar gued, are powerless without a flag; you have given them one by disfranchising the people, whose right they may uphold. In giving the Socialists such a flag, there is no class or party interested to oppose them. The peasantry, who might take arms against the red republic, would not muster and march against universal suffrage. All that universal suffrage had done was to disinherit the old, corrupt clique of poli ticians that had monopolised place. These by the law of May have recovered their old advantages, and hence the mass of petty and personal intrigues that disgrace the country, confound all principles, and render un certain all results. To these arguments Louis Na poleon has added his own. In them he has declared his opinion, that there are but two solid sources of governmental authority, hereditary kingly right, or popular elective right; and that both must b e perfect, for that no quasi-legitimacy, or quas i- e l ee- tive will hold. The executive of France must, there fore, be chosen by the whole people or by none. A portion will not suffice. The remark that rises to e very one's lip, i s , why this very fi ne and proper chain of reasoning did not occur to Prince Louis Napoleon when he sanctioned his Ministers in in troducing the law of May disfranchising the mil lions ? The entire political world in France is dis puting about principles, when it is clear that no one party in power has the least sincere respect for principle of any kind. It is mere time-serving,' gilded over with fine and ambiguous words, the Prince himself setting the example. But although Louis Napoleon gave himself up from the first to the guid ance of the reactionists, he has had still, from time to time, fits of awakening- to liberal ideas, and to a consciousness that they alone could save him. Hence the letter to Colonel Oudinot against the conduct of the Roman Government, and hence so many liberal sentiments and resolves, and stray speeches at odd moments. These, however, are but faint flames, that light up from smouldering ashes, to die as soon as born. The Pr e sident's regret for having disfran chised millions of those who voted for him of those vain coruscations, regrets,those idle which he has the weakness and wilfulnessidle is one to betray, act upon. but net the courage or constancy to-morrow. If the President got rid of M. Faucherto for such a cause, where is h e to find a Minister ? M. Barrot certainly would not volunteer to serve him, yaitnhore to embark in a contest with s thie wteAhssaemvberly, desire for idee Napoleonienne however jut • hapless Prince may have to become liberal, it is now too late. What real Liberal would now trust him ? He must lie on the bed of state that he has made himself, propped on those Conservative parties who are openly betraying him, yet whose momentary countenance and support he cannot dispense with. of the 31st of May h Repeal the law caunot, without ESCAPE OF A BURGLAR. It will be remembered that at the last Sussex as sizes, John Isaacs, the last captured o f th e d ar i ng gang who committed numerous burglari es i n S ussex and Surrey, and a portion of whom were concerned in the Frienley murder, was sentenced to transportation for life at Kirdfend, on the borders of the two coun ties. On Saturday he escaped from Lewes prison, where he had been since confined, awaiting an order from the Secretary of State for his tra n sf e r t o th e hulks, preparatory to his sentence being carried cut. The circumstances connected with the escape and re capture are thus described in a report of the governor of the prison presented yesterday (Monday) to the East Sussex Michaelmas sessions, where the Earl of Chichester presided :—"Since writing the form e r p ar t of this report, two convicts, John Isaacs, one of the notorious gang of burglars under sentence of trans portation tor life, and Henry Ade, under sentence of transportation for fifteen years, made their escape from prison, but were retaken and brought back in a very few minutes after they left it. This took place about six o'clock on the morning of Saturday last, the 11th instant. They made their escape by rushing past turnkey George Cox, who had the prison door a little open to admit the prison officers, who had been sleeping out for the night and who were returning to their duty. These convicts having concealed themselves in a corner at the end of the lodge, near the prison -door, made an instantaneous rush into the street, knocked Cox aside in passing, and when outside, ran in opposite directions. I after wards found that Isaacs, between nine and ten o'clock on the preceding night, by means of a key made of wood, unlocked his cell gate, and also contrived to open the wooden door of his cell, which enabled him to get into the passage of the ward. After he got out of his own cell he opened, with his wooden key, the gate of Ado's cell, and let him out also. After prowl ing about the prison all night, concealing themselves at times in the differeat corners and hiding-places to evade the observation of the watchman, and having attempted to dig a hole through the boundary wall, at the back of the debtors' prison, which they failed in accomplishing fully, though they took out several bricks, they resorted to the stratagem above-named. 11. Blackman, Esq., visiting justice, after investigat ing the circumstances, and taking the evidence of myself, and turnkeys George Cox and John Farney, upon oath, ordered Isaacs to be kept in irons for se curity until removed by order of the Secretary of State. Henry Ade, the other prisoner, who is a boy only seventeen years old, and who was let out of his his call by Isaaes,:and acted only under his directions, is not punished." After some conversation the ma gistrates referred the case to the visiting justices, to take the necessary steps to render the present prison secure in the interim which will elapse before the new gaol is completed. AMERICAN BALLOON DISASTER. The balloon ascension of Mr. S. A. King, Thursday afternoon, from the Zoological Garden, at Fairmount, was a terrific affair indeed. Just before six o'clock Mr. King stepped into his car, but finding that the gas was not sufficient to take him up, ho threw out all his ballast, and he arose a few feet from the ground. His car was held by a slender cord, and just as it was about to be cut loose, the car was dashed with some violence against ono of the sheds of the enclosure. The people rushed and caught hold of the net ropes and pulled the balloon back into the e nclosure. He said he was determined to go, if the gas was sufficiently powerful to take him, and off he started again. This time he arose over the enclosure and came in contact with the \Vire-bridge. He soon became extri cated, but struck the telegraphic wire, which held him some time. Presently he became loose, struck another part of the bridge, and finally went down plump into the waters of the Schuylkill. Au exciting and terrible scene was enacted. The balloon bounced up and down, and in this way proceeded for several hundred yards. Every time it descended Mr. King would be plunged in, appa rently up to his neck in the water. The people on shore ran in every direction; several boats put out to the assistance of Mr. King, but teem all we emu learn he arrived on the shore on the opposite side of the river, more frightened, perhaps, than hurt. Thin was the first.attempt on the part of Mr. King to make an aerial voyage. —Pennsylvanian. APPROPRIATION OF A CHURCH TO THE ROMISH FAITH.—On Wednesday a very crowded meeting of the in habitants of Gravesend was held at the Town-hall, for the purpose, as stated in the notice, of considering the best means of providing additional spiritual instruction for that parish, with especial reference to the additional need of such instruction occasioned by the approprition of St. John's Chapel to Romish purposes.
