Sun. tig •Tanuary 1867 NAPOLEON promised thit he would at length " crown the edifice." . In January. 1868 he has fulfilled his promise, but has crowned it with yew instead of bay. The famous procla-. /nation of last year announced three important changes—increased liberty to the press, restored right of meeting for political purposes, and a reor ganisation of the army. To-day it is only the last measure which has made any progress. The vendors on the• Boulevards are hawking- the new Army Bill as though it had already become law, although it has still to pass the Senate. The Senate is the creature of NAPOLEON, and he may therefore safely reckon upon its complacency, and may, without fear of mis hap, treat as enacted the law by which every Frenchman becomes liable to military service. At the very tithe that this hateful bill, against which the country has vainly protested, is being thrust into the hands of street passengers, the Paris tribunals have been occupied with a prosecu tion brought by the Government against ten of the leading journals of France, for venturing to report and to comment upon the debates in the Corps Legislatif upon this very measure. It is in this way that NAPOLEON redeems his pledge of twelve months ago. Here was a matter in which the whole nation was intensely and vitally interested, one with respect to which the people had a right to know all that was said upon it by their representa tives, yet the Sovereign who claims to be the elect of the people has prosecuted the newspapers for venturing to report what was said, and has obtained judgment against them, with the punishment of a fine, or the alternative of six months' imprison]. ment.

The Pre sident observed in the course of the brief conversa tion, of which this is the substance, that he has been all along conscious of acting in this matter with strict regard to what he honestly believes to be a constitutional principle. GeneralaGrant and Sher man called on the President to-day, and made some overtures towards patching up a peace. General Grant explained more at length, than he did yester day, but still rather vaguely, why he did not call on the President on Monday as agreed. After review ing in quite a long conversation the whole aspect of affairs, the two Generals asked the President if he had anything to suggest. He had not then ; and (let it be understood that it is not stated by the President, but by as undoubted authority) Generals Grant and Sherman suggested that Stanton should resign, and said to Mr. Johnson that they were to have an interview with Stanton, and would so advise him. They did subsequently have an interview with the nominal Secretary of War, the result of which has not tran spired. There has been a great rush to see the President, Secretary of War, and Gen. Grant. The President entertained, besides Generals Grant and Sherman, Secretaries Seward and Welles, Attorney- General Stanbery, Senators Dixon and Buckalew, Collector Smythe, of New York, several other gen tlemen, and a number of ladies. He was very nearly fagged out before midnight. Mr. Stanton has not as yet issued any special order to the officers . and employe's of the War Department announcing his having assumed control. He announced that anyo Townsend, but none having bee n given by General Townsend , i t is p resumed th at rde Generalr he might issue would be given to th e press by none has been issued. " The following was presented to S ecretar y Stan ton to-day : " ' Washington, Jan. 14, 1868. " ' Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War. " We respectfully request you not to resi g n. Since the passage of the tenure-of - office la w you have been the officer of the people, not removable without the consent of the Senate, and you ought not to resign unless the people demand it. They expect you to retain your place. —Respectfully.' " H (Signed ouse by nearly all the Republican me mbers of the SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, lomain LUNCHEON BAR, GLASSHOUSE-STREET (One door from Regent-street), CUISINE FRANCAISE, &c. The judgment of the Correctional Tribunal on ten of our Paris journals is, in the opinion of the Times, a disas trous success for the French Government. The officious zeal of the Minister who instituted the prosecution was. understood to have displeased the Emperor Napoleon, in spite of M. Muller's justification, and the result will gratify no one who appreciates, as he does, the present critical state of popular feeling in France. The law which has been thus harshly enforced was passed in the year 1862, before the Empire was established, and when some of the Paris journals were accused, justly or unjustly, of garbling their reports of speeches delivered in the Legis lature. It prohibits the publication of any summary of proceedings in the Senate except that already inserted in the Afoniteur, and imposes a minimum penalty of I,ooof. on the publication of any summary of the proceeding s in the Corps Legislatif, except the proces-verbai drawn up under the direction of the President. It appears, however, that of late this law had received a liberal interpretation, and it was supposed that fair comments on debates were legitimate so long as the debates themselves were published at length in the form approved by the Government. For several years past, in fact, the leading French journals had exercised consider able freedom of criticism, not without encouragement from the highest quarters. It has been reserved for M. Pinard, the present Minister of the Interior, to raise most inopportunely an issue which his wiser predeces. sors had avoided. The occasion which he selected was the debate in the Corps L6gislatif on the bill for the re organisation of the French army. Seventeen newspapers, besides reproducing the authorised version of this dekate. had given a summary of it for the benefit of their readers, or otherwise transgressed the function of mere copyists. Some had recorded . the impression made by particular speakers, others had related incidents of more or less significance, others had reviewed its general course, but the offence common to all was that of having " appreciated " that which they should only have recorded. All their editors, therefore, were summoned to answer for a breach of the organic law regulating the press, but the charge was abandoned, on various grounds, against seven of the number. The remaining ten were sentenced to a fine of I,ooof. with costs, or six months' imprisonment in default of payment. This decision took no one by surprise, but it is probable that an appeal will be made against it to a higher court, with a view to ascertain whether parliamentary debates in France are not only above criticism, but above abridg ment. In the meantime a feeling of great indignation has been awakened in the Liberal party, and the Government, which just now has no popularity to spare, is gratuitously placed in the position of restricting, instead of extending, liberty. Whatever may be the legal bearings of the question, there can be no doubt or dispute upon its merits. The freedom of the press, as we have often acknowledged, has its proper limits, and no Government can tolerate public attacks, whether by deed, word, or writing, upon its very existence. Subjects may, of course, appeal, at their own peril, to a higher law than that of the land, but this appeal constitutes revolu tion, and revolution is that which every established Government binds itself to prevent as the condition of its existence by every means in its power. But these con siderations have nothing really to do with the case of our Paris contemporaries. They were never accused of gar bling, or even of colouring, the reports or abstracts of the debates on which the prosecution was founded. For all that appears, the reports they furnished were faithful, so far as they went ; indeed, had it been otherwise, they might have been punished for circulating false intelligence. The only point in dispute was their right to do more than transcribe official statements of what had passed in the Legislature. Now, if this be not among the rights of journalism, it is a mockery to speak of the press as free in any sense at all.

COOPER, Sec, 85, Queen-street, Oheapside. Colonel RATOLIFF, in moving the adoption of the balance-sheet, said it showed the battalion to be in a better position this year than it had been for some time past. It was a matter for congratulation that, so far as the corps was concerned, the past year, instead of being one of difficulty, as many might have been inclined to suppose, had been a happy one. There < had not been a single misunderstanding that -„had in the slightest de gree disturbed the fiarmony of the battalion. He felt the utmost gratification in stating that they had now attained the highest number of effi cient members that they had ever possessed. The Birmingham battalion was one of the largest in the kingdom, and it was also one of the most efficient. There was not a single battalion that could turn out with more spirit, alacrity, and ability to enter upon active service. The review at Derby last year had shown this. They had been put in comparison with other battalions, and among others with the Robin Hoods, which was quite a crack corps, and spoken of as being very efficient, and yet none had been more efficient than the Birmingham battalion. He hoped that they would not rest contented with the past, but that they would be determined to main tain, and even to exceed the excellence which they had already achieved. As regarded the Wimbledon competition, it must be gratifying to every one to know that of the number who went there to com pete against the Volunteers of the whole country, nine came back with prizes. Referring to the in spection which took place under Colonel Sir Ed ward Campbell, be was happy to find that that offi cer's opinion was very complimentary to the batta lion. Sir Edward was satisfied that they were not retrograding, but were fully keeping up the pro ficiency he had found on previous occasions. As regarded the general conduct of the corps during the past year, he thought it reflected the highest credit upon every one. He did not know that there had been a single act of insubordination as to cause a court of inquiry to be held. That was the first year—at least in his recollection —that such had been the case, and it was gratifying to think they had been so united, and that there had been so much good feeling among the whole of the members. Some remarks had appeared in the papers from Lord Ranelagh, who had asked what condition the Volunteers would be in should they be called out for active service ? In reply to this observation he would say that in such an event the Government would have to give them just the same weapons and equipments with which they provided the regular army, and of which they knew they were at present deficient. The Colonel concluded by stating that Major Elkington had announced his intention of presenting a handsome shield to be competed for by the Warwickshire and Birmingham battalions, and then formally moved the adoption of the balance sheet. The motion was unanimously agreed to. Major HEBBERT moved a vote of thanks to Col. Ratcliff, and in doing so he congratulated the bat talion that it had obtained such an energetic and efficient successor to Colonel Mason. The !um bers of the battalion had had an opportunity of judging of the capacity and ability of Col. Ratcliff to fulfil the duties of his position, and every mem ber of the corps must be satisfied with the manner in which their worthy colonel had discharged his important duties. He was sure that every member of the First Warwickshire must have admired his frankness and generous disposition, and must be animated with a desire to support him in all his efforts to maintain the battalion in its present state, and to increase its efficiency. In the name of the battalion, he offered to Colonel Ratcliff their sin cere congratulations upon the position which he held among them. Capt. MOLE seconded the vote of thanks, re marking that every member of the battalion would support their worthy Colonel, and attend to his duties, the battalion would fully maintain their present efficiency, and have their number in creased. Colonel RATCLIFF briefly acknowledged the com pliment, and the proceedings terminated. AMERICA• -..--- ----..... NEW YORK, Jan. 16. The Washington correspondent of the New York World gives the following account of an interview he had with President Johnson concerning the re instatement of Mr. Stanton : "The importance of the issues uow pending be tween Congress and the Executive led me to seek an audience of the President, with which I was for tunately honoured this evening. In response to the inquiry whether an understanding was had between the President and General Grant previous to the late action of the Senate, Mr. Johnson said—' General Grant, with General Sherman, was here at the White House on Saturday, when the old understand ing was reiterated that he should either resign his office as Secretary of War and surrender it to me in time to anticipate the Senate's action,or announce his intention to retain the office until the right of the Senate to reinstate Mr. Stanton could be put to the proof. On Sunday it was suggested by Senator Reverdy Johnson, with the concurrence of Senator John Sherman, and the understood concurrence of a number of Radical members of both Houses, that if ex-Governor Cox, of Ohio, should be no minated by me forthwith as Secretary of War, the majority in Congress would be willing to let Mr. Stanton's grievances go by the board. I listened to these suggestions without assenting to them. On Monday I had expected to receive another call from General Grant. General Sherman called, but General Grant did not. The latter was here at the reception in the evening. He made no reference to the action of the Senate in respect to to Secretary ship of the War Department, of which I myself had not been apprised. It was not until about 11 a.m. on Tuesday that I received the note from General Grant, which has been published, advising me that his functions as Secretary of War had ceased.' I asked the President whether Mr. Stanton was or would be recognised by him (the President) as Secretary of War in consequence of Monday's resolution by the Senate. Mr. Johnson firmly replied, No. The Senate,' said he, ' has passed a resolution in which it says it "does not concur" in Mr. Stanton's suspension, but this does not reinstate Mr. Stanton according to the law. The office of Secretary of War is liable to be reduced to a mere c!erk ship. He can issue no binding orders except by the direction or with the con currence of the President, and as Mr. Stanton will not receive instructions from the Executive, it is apparent that his resumption of a chair in the War Department amounts to that, and no thing more.' I now ventured to assume that the President would probably see fit to make a new nomination for Secretary of War within a short period. At the proper time,' said the President, that will be done.' lie anticipated, however, that The Constitutionnel has lately been publishing a series of articles under the title of " Napoleon 111. as an Agriculturist," and which explain the efforts made by his Majesty in the interest of rural la bourers. The following passage relates to the model farm of Solferino, near Labouhere (Landes) : —" There exists a region in the south-west which reminds one of La Sologne, by its sandy soil, its fir trees, its pools of water, and its insalubrity. In this district the victor of Solferino, upon his return from Italy, having again become agriculturist, concen trated all his efforts. He purchased a tract of 4,000 hectares (9,000 acres), to which, in memory of his victory, he gave the name of that great battle. How can this land be described, covered, as far as eye could reach, with reeds, heath, and fir-trees? When we contemplate the grey sand totally destitute of a moral of vegetable soil, we admire the boldness of the idea of submitting it to cultivation. However, the Emperor did not hesitate to undertake the task, and he has carried it through successfully. The reeds and heath have given place to farms, which have been too recently established to yield results as yet ; but we are bound to state that the clearings have been made with much circumspection, and only with a view of showing specimens of culture on an ungrateful soil. \\That mostly prevails at Solferino are plantations of firs, either from seed or from young trees. In them lies the future prosperity of he sterile lands of Gascony and the success of the imperial domain. The Emperor desired to realise on his property an eminently social idea. He has caused an entire village to be erected. Most of the houses have been granted gratuit ous l y to the la bourers who live in them. All h ave a little garden attached, and one or two h ec t ares of ground, which the tenant cultivates f or himself, and from which he raises part of the food of his family. On the imperial domain the entire population is occupied, and we are informed that, l ater a cer tain time, they will becom e,s e . th T e hi a s b i 6 s -o absolute . ow l owners of their houses and holdin e ,y an excellent mode of peopling a desert disteriecrta"le THE IMPROVEMENTS IN PARK-LANE.—The hoard ing on the borders of Hyde Park will be sold to-day, and will be immediately removed. The great improvement which has been effected by the widening of Park• lane and the construction of a neat railing will then be made mani fest. .51011 AL CONDUCT OF PARTNERS.—III the case of Snow v. Milford, heard before Lord Romilly, the question at issue was whether Arthur Milford, one of the partners in the firm of Milford, Snow, and Co., bankers, Exeter, ought to be expelled from the firm on the ground that the public disgrace into which he had fallen by the commission of shameless adultery was in breach of a clause in the partnership articles to the effect that partners were " not to do any act to the discredit or injury of the co-partnership." In November 1866 a decree for judicial separation was pronounced in the Divorce Court against the defendant, on which occasion the learned Judge. Ordinary remarked that " adultery of the most disgraceful and profligate description had been abundantly established against him." Many customers of the bank stated in evidence that if the suit had not been instituted it was their intention to withdraw their accounts, and that so long as the defendant remained a partner they should refuse to do business with the firm. Thus, it was affirmed by the plaintiff, the bank was materially injured. For the defen dant it was argued that the article in the partnership deed was intended to refer only to acts causing commercial, and not to those producing moral discredit. The Master of of the Rolls having strongly advised that some private arrangement should be attempted, an adjournment took place for that purpose. It was now stated that the sug gestion of his lordship had been duly considered. All the persons interested in the suit were most anxious to remove the case out of the court and bring about an amicable adjustment of the existing differences, which result would no doubt ultimately be attained, but so many difficulties existed that a further adjournment was imperative. The case, therefore, stands over for a fortnight. THE VALIDITY OF A WILL.—In the Court of Probate, before Sir J. P. Wilde, a case was heard involving the question as to the validity of a will which had been exe cuted by a Mr. Harriott in favour of two brothers and the children and widow of another, excluding entirely a third brother, who was the promoter of this suit. The testator had been a great traveller, and had resided 'many years in Africa. He returned home in 1863, inva lided, and he had been attentively nursed by the defendant in this,"suit at Liverpool and Manchester. He appeared, however, to have contracted, whether by incitement or otherwise, a rooted antipathy to this brother, and a con. tinual dread that he would incarcerate him in a lunatic asylum. The court, at the previous hearing, decided in favour of the defendant, and reserved the question of costs. Sir J. P. Wilde, in now delivering judgment, said he had come to the conclusion that it was not for the court to make any order at all.; consequently both [ADVERTlSEMENT.]—llyspepsiglncligestion), Constipation, Consumption, and all nervous, bilious, stomach, and lives complaints in every stage, are only aggravated and accelerated by chugs of every description, but perfectly curable by Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabic°, Food, as proved by housantls of cases which had been considered hopeless, such as—cough, asthma, also diarrhoea, hiemorrhoids, liver com plaints, flatulency, nervousness, biliousness, fevers, sore throats_ diphtheria, catarrhs, colds, influenza, neuralgia, ears, rheumatism, gout, impurities, eruptions, hysteria,initability, sleeplessness, acidity, palpitation, heartburn,sickness, noises in the head and head ache, debility, dropsy, cramps, spasms, nausea and .. _ t e i v g e h n t n i ess o f pregnancytec he r s t, a t paTn a s , s a i t nk t i h n e g p fl i t t s, of b rotnheehistilos scrofula, %t u n ' (1 , between the shoulders, restored by Du Barry's Food.

Our contem porary is of opinion that the political power acquired by an independent national Legislature, if it did not destroy Ireland, could hardly work for its regeneration. Let us rather, as Lord Palmerston advised with regard to the agitation which was abated by Catholic Emancipation, "turn materials of mischief into elements of strength." The Post cannot follow Mr. Butler-Johnstone to the con clusion that measures of real improvement will be lost upon a kindly and generous people. As to the "sun of royalty," our contemporary acknowledges that it is pri marily responsible for a theory which, though Mr. Butler- Johnstone seems to make light of it, is, it apprehends, perfectly in harmony with the character he gives the Irish for loyalty, and in which it heartily concurs. Not withstanding all that is said about the " average Celt," the Post ventures to hope that there is a better future in store for Ireland. It may be a " naive idea," but it trusts that its realisation is not remote. The wrong which lies like a stumbling-block in the path of improvement can be redressed by an act of simple justice. A nation divided into two very unequal parts, and separated by a religious distinction which maintains the ascendancy of the small minority, is to all intents and purposes a nation divided against itself. The Daily News, after again telling the story of the Clerkenwell plot as revealed by Mullany in the witness box, observes : They may not, p er h a p s , add any one fact of single importance to those elicited by the inquiries of the police, but they supply some m i ss i ng li n ks in the previous evidence, and render the whole story of the plot more coherent. Taken by themselves, the statements of an approver might have little value ; but the significance of the more solid testimony is increased by the light re flected. Mullany told Sir Thomas Henry that he " knew a great deal more about the case," and the man, having chosen his part, evidently wants to make a clean breast of it. He says that Barrett told him that he another man went down to Bow-street armed with revolvers, and re mained there all day, watching for an opportunity, which did not arrive, of shooting Corydon the informer. Cer tainly, if these Fenians do us some mischief, it must be acknowledged that they have a knack of destroying one another. Mullany is the second of this group who has turned upon his associates ; and if the prosecution should have the result which everybody expects, it will be in great part owing to the evidence of these two men. We get now a view of the type of character and intellect which have produced this great crime, and can see how well adapted they were at once to injure us and bring the conspirators to ruin. The Herald reviews the report of the London any Brighton Railway. The directors, when they took the management last year, had no easy task before them. Eveu now they find new items of charge continually crop ping up, and fresh exemplifications of the wastefulness and improvidence of the former management making them elves manifest at every turn. To give but one example, they tell us that, with all the lavish expenditure of capital for fresh works, the rolling stock has no sufficient shed ac commodation, so that " engines and carriages of the value of several hundred thousand pounds are now standing ex posed to the weather for want of sufficient shed room" while other examples of the same kind are also mentioned. But, notwithstanding all this, the board believe in the future of the line. They look forward sanguinely to the day when all the preferences shall be provided for, mid when the ordinary stocks will once more pay an honest dividend. They do not expect to be popular when they have to tell these truths to shareholders who have been accustomed to receive six per cent. But they unmistake- L bly show their anxiety to brim the concern out of its difficulties, and they avow their readiness to resign their places if the proprietors do net like what they have done. In short, they seem to have begun with the intention to make their advent to office the commencement of a new era in railway economics ; and it is to be hoped that they may continue in a course which must be inflexibly pursued if railway property is ever to resume its former place among the investments of the country. The Standard argues against an opinion lately expressed in the Times, which appears to be gaining ground in the public mind daily, that it would have been better to have sent a smaller army to Abyssinia. Our object in relieving the prisoners is surely to let it be seen that we are a Power which has force enough to punish such outrages. We desire to leave behind us the opinion that Englishmen are not to be caged at the pleasure of any of those barbarian kings. But if we had used the proposed alternative, and sent a flying column of a thousand men, and depended upon chance for any native allies that we might pick up on the road, how would this have convinced the people of Abyssinia, or of the cos ng, that England had power to punish outrages upon her citizens? The very insignificance of the force employed would be accepted as evidence of our weakness. But it is idle to discuss the wisdom of an alternative which we have agreed not to adopt. Of the two courses the Government has certainly chosen the safer and the more efficacious ; and whether it is more or less expensive is nothing to the point. The work had to be done at whatever cost. up on the whole it is being done well, and at no more expense than was inevitable. The result of the forthcoming press trials will, in the opinion of the Telegrap h, gu id e us , to a great extent, as c e ias shssall juries then reg ards the future government of Ireland. w k n ow whether we can still rely on the middle to suppress, not actual conspiracy alone, but that mur derous literature of sedition that helps on the plot more efficaciously than a thousand secret oaths. Irish jurymen will know better than the Government itself how far continued political excitement keeps Ireland poor, affrights capital, paralyses enterprise, destroys trade. Far be it from us to interfere ' terfere with our boasted liberty of the press, throug v ht t he a action of an of em panelled jury ; w e do not want contemporaries —we want to see the honour and the in fluence of the press preserved. It hurts us all to have among us those who use the influence which has grown up under the fair n ames of Reason and Right for the behoof of assassins and bravoes. Let an Irish jury say whether this language which we condemned was or was not of such a character, and we shall know to what we are come. As regards Ireland, it is because we care for her so much that we are thus " very j ea l ous ." We want to have the shield of her champions kept bright and their weapons unrusted with vile stains of that blood which never " comes out," namely, innocent blood. We wish to go to Parliament, for Irish rights and Irish reform, with men whose hands we can tale proudly, not with such as give the murderer secret grip. It may be argued in defence of the Imperial policy, that it is not so very long since it was illegal for English journals to report the proceed ings of the Houses of Parliament. The Duke PERSIGNY is fond of comparing France with Eng land, and always assumes that, so-far as political liberty is concerned, France of the 19th century, should be governed by the same laws as ruled Eng land in the 18th. But even granting the ex- Minister's unflattering premise, there is no parallel between the English press prosecutions of seventy years ago and the French prosecutions of last week. Those originated in the desire of Parliament to maintain its privileges, the most prized of them during the corruption and political profligacy which then prevailed being , the right to speak and vote without being subjected to the scrutiny of the electors. These are intended to prevent discussion on Imperial measures. Nero- LEON does not prohibit reports of the debates altogether, but only such as have not been fur nished by the Government reporter. This prohi bition permits the EMPEROR to suppress all the strongest arguments which tell against his favourite measures. Just as Dr. JOHNSON always made the Whigs have the worst of it in the reports which he wrote for the Gentleman's Magazine, so NAPOLEON or his Minister of the Interior may make the Oppo sition orators cut a sorry figure by the side of the Ministerialists—may represent THIERS and FAVRE and PICARD as crushed by the logic of ROUHER and PICARD and NIEL. Then, too, the EMPEROR and his subordi na t e may entirely misrepresent the temper of the House. We do not know that the first offence has been charged against the Govern ment reporter ; the second certainly has. It has been complained that all the " marks of approba tion" and "signs of adhesion" are reserved for the Government orators, and that, according to the reports, the Opposition speak amid chilling apathy and silence. Were the offi cial reports ever so honest and. ever so perfect, the people would suspect and be dissatisfied with them. Wherever there is an interest in suppress ing the truth the public will always believe that the truth, is suppressed. Especially will this be so in the present instance. The prosecution just over was directed against ten journals—against the Glaneur, for publishing a summary of several days' debates on the Army Bill, so that the reader might have them all before him at once ; the Journal de Paris, for publishing a summary of a particular debate, and for mentioning that a particular speech excited considerable interruption, which com pelled M. ROUHER to speak ; the Interet Public, for presenting in a tabular form the de bates on the Army Bill with the proposed amendments ; the Union, for a similar offence, and for the crime of quoting verbatim part of two speeches, one by the MINISTER of STATE him self ; the Journal des _Mats, for mentioning that a lively discussion took place between the MINISTER of WAR and the Government reporter, and for ana lysing the Minister's speech ; the France, for giving a list of the speeches ; the Avenir National, for publishing verbatim a portion of JULES SimoN's speech ; the Temps, for committing a like offence. and for analysing another speech ; and the mem and the Opinion Nationale, for describing the im pression produced upon the Assembly by two speeches. In no instance, it will be seen, was there any charge of misrepresentation. The high crime of which the offending journals have been guilty is that they w ere t oo accura t e , t oo f a ithf u l . One would have thought that a Sovereign and a Government which were bent upon carrying at all risks a most unpopular measure, would have been particularly careful not to fly in the face of public opinion more than was absolutely necessary. In, private life, when a man has to perform a duty dis ;asteful to his friends, he takes special pains to make himself agreeable to them in all other respects. NAPOLEON has chosen the time when he is more unpopular than at any time since he attained. power, to execute an act of rigour which has induced even the Government journals and the most devoted Imperial pamphleteer to protest. The decision just given against the ten journals diminishes the liberty which was established by a decision of March 10, 1862, Not content with this, he is now directing other pro-. secutions in every direction. The editor of the Opinion Nationale is being prosecuted for inciting to hatred and contempt, because in an article, headed " January 19," he has compared the promises of 1867 with the performances of 1868. The editor of a provincial paper, the Franche Comtg, has been sent to prison because he ventured to question the accuracy of a prefect in his explana.c tion of the reason why a report of the EMPEROR'S Speech had been withheld from one of the journals' M. PiNann, in fact, seems resolved to outdo all his predecessors in the severity with which he treats the press. He is exercising his rigour to a degree that is becoming intolerable, and which must soon become dangerous. For, whatever the military strength of a ruler, he cannot long afford to tyrant nise to this extent over a people so noble and en.) lightened as the French. NAPOLEON ought to be very sure of his position before he sanctions such extreme measures as the present. Yet it is by no means certain that his position is secure. The history of France contains numerous examples to illustrate the saying that those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. NAPOLEON'S pre decessor on the throne was never so arbitrary as on the day before he abdicated. NAPOLEON is h re ims adi e n.. lf has of late blundered remarkably in Mexico an whoa and events. w of as for s e o ign siginly r delcteived may be e bo t u h t at the his Endurance Germany is has equally an end, dec eivedand h t wi e thegard to Franc e .

DRINKING CUSTOMS OF ETON. —Our readers will hardly believe, what the evidence of this report abundantl c h ews , that drinking is " conniv e d at " and " counti nanced by the authorities, and treated as a part of the . system." It appears that at least a hundred boys may go into the " Tap " and the " Christopher" every ordinary day, and stay there " for hours," and that the number of boys, and the time spent in these places, are greatly in. creased on Sunday afternoons after four o'clock. It also appears—and this is the strangest feature of all=that in spite of a sham prohibition, no master, and certainly nc monitor, or person in authority of any kind, has power to interfere with these practices, however much he may deplore them ; nor wouldhe be aided by the reverend head master, provost, or fellows in any attempt he might make to put a stop to them. Other injurious customs of the place—such as the initiation into the " swell" set, or " cellar "—an honour much coveted and valued—by drink; ing at one breath the contents of a glass twelve or fifteen inches in depth, are well known and denounced by some of the masters, and complained of to the head-master, whose general advice in regard to such points is, we understand, " that such things should be seen as if they were not seen, and known as if they were not known principle, if we consider it well, wonderfully suggestive. The fact is, that all these evils are maintained consistently with the " feel ing of what is right and honourable" entertained by the most influential of the Eton boys—by those whose opinion on all subjects of morals is par amount—and are rampant still, just because " th e s y stem" does not fasten the re. sponsibility upon the pusillanimous head-master, w h o ought, by authority, to prevent young boys from learning to become drunkards or perish in the attempt. Any arg u . ment which justifies the scenes at the " Tap " and the " Christopher," would have j ustified the maintenance of the Chamber of Horrors ; but that has been abolished, and so could these, were the Eton authorities anxious to abolish them. We are warranted in saying that some, at least, of the assistant masters would gladly aid i a the g ood wQric, zriritiolt Quatertm Berian. - ,- - -
