GENTLESIEN, ftaL:basitgilleedavbeytitoolynvite your attention to this Institation, which was Royal Charter in 1838. The main purpose for which ,Lit_e efitablished was to explain to the public by highly . cape ..un ed demonstrators the principles and advantages of usetul and Sonscientific inventions. The Directors have desired me to say that if shonld feel disposed to deposit any ' articles in th;s Institution, ad will communicate with me here, your application will be imme ,_lll,4,leolY considered, and if approved will be. received for that purpose flu tit any expense to you beyond carriage and fittina. A ticket for,ol e n ., 4..ay he attached to each article, and in case ofsale no charge . made to either vendor or purchaser. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, ROBERT LONGBOTTOM, Secretary. a coup cre'at, and he - has for that neither the 6e nor tbo chance of success. To all appearance now there is little change of repealing the law of the 15th of May; and without its repeal, or even with it, there are 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 he would command a larger ma jority, so now the doubtof his unitin g 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 come, as by the Constitution it is 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 tbe French will be greater for the President who is about to be degraded or for him who is about to be promoted.

" It will c - mmand the admiration of those capable of appreciating the genuine spirit of poesy which pervades it, and will eventually take high rank, as it deserves to do, among our national classics."—John Bull. A FOREIGN ARCHITECT'S OPINION OF LONDON STEEPLES. 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, i plied, the comparatively few who did take part n ' them were obviously more and more disposed to no minate 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 suspicious circum stance that none but alarmists beheld or admitted it. Sincere republicans, like Laniartine, lamented it in public, and suggested the statutory prohibition of the ticket system —or scrutin de liste —as the most convenient remedy for a formidable evil. The same view was subsequently a d o pt e d b y M . d e Tocque selle in his memorable Report on the Revision of the Constitution ; but the course recommended, though backed by the authority of so great a name, can hardly be locked 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 wurking 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 the 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 satisfactorily 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 largerbodies 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 Montelembert, " 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 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, than, on the occasion of the present elec tion is likely to become another illustration of the down ceat h h nb a al n ihy t ehtteei enlightened pdhdraowrpcho portionab etedeisn want tendencies of the metropolitan constituencies. We use the word tendency' advisedly, tor matters are worse a turning tide Let us leave the names of individuals aside, and simply consider the metropolitan Members as manifestly employment oihnsit. whenever r o l m o a u n s o y o f for the public . benefit? of Commons? Is it not mainly to represent the selfish interests and blind prejudices of the less patriotic or less Looking at their votes, one would suppose a metropo litan Member to be rather a Parliamentary agent of the drovers, and sextons, and undertakers, than a re presentative of one of the most important constituen cies of the kingdom. Is this downward progress of the metropolitan representation to continue un changed ? Will it be extended to other constituencies as soon as they shall be brought under conditions ana logous to those under which the metropolitan electors exercise the franchise ? The 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 unaltered. Supposing England throughout its area were represented as the various boroughs of the metropolis aro represented at the present time, what would be the effect? That is the point for consideration." It is admitted, then, by a Liberal and Free -trade journal—the mainstay of the present Government— that to increase the proportion of large town or metropolitan borough representatives would be to deteriorate the character of that Assembly, and • probably endanger the Constitution itself • With this opinion on record, will it he possible to proceed in the creation of any more such constituencies ? As to the smaller boroughs, such as Sudbury, Harwich, St. Albans, &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 2,0001. 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. The 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 minor and corrupt boroughs are thrown into a new Schedule A, it will he 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 Malden 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 It walking through the town my attention was in voluntarily first fixed upon the steeples. They almost all bear the stamp of what seems to be calle I hero the Anglo-Italian school (I except those of Sr. Michael's in Cortibill and Sr. Dunstan's in the East, which are copied from the Gothic), and chiefly were designed by Sir Christopher Wren, architect of St. Paul's Cathedral, commenced in 1675 and finished in 1711. Wren was the man who gave a new impulse to architecture i❑ Eng land: the church of St. Peter, with its vast cupola, at Rome, designed by Bramante and continued by Michael Angelo, struck him, and he built for the Protestants in London that which existed for the Catholics at Rome. I give the preference for solidity in the dome and for the proportions of the portico in the principal façade to St. Paul's, admitting that the towers and lantern of St. 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 see St. Michael's and St. Dunstan's. All the other steeples, churches, or monutnents erected from 1675 to 1780 in London, arc more or less copies of Italy according to Scamozzi, Vignola, and other (con)founders of architecture; and there are some which are ridiculous enough—for instance, the steeple of St. Bennet, at the corner of Fenchurch-street and Gracechurch-street, which enjoys Greek frontispieces on the four fa 9 ides 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 id London only that people fabricated at that time similar specimens of bad taste: they were produced throughout Europe.—Builder.

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 Californian gold, the lustre of which is very surprising. She admired 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. In the Tunisian department she remained for some time, and having carefully surveyed the at tractive contributions from that portion of the world, she went to the National Society's models of instruc tion. Moving westward along the nave, her Ma jesty examined very minutely the woven fabrics; and here her attention was particularly directed to some new specimens of gold printing upon alpaca wo o l s just introduced by the Messrs. Liddiards. The pro cess of dyeing thus illustrated is said to be irremov able, and herein it differs from that practised in India, China, and France, 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 Wyatt 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. Wvlde has written an anthem expressly for the occasion, and the pro priety of having it performed may, we should think, he confidently left to the judgment and taste of M. Costa. ritrectlrain __ f ___ ......s...____________.___ .

ROCHESTER QUARTER SESSIONS. At the Rochester Quarter Sessions, on Saturda'y; before James Espinasse, Dq., 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. Ttie 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 had 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 bad 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 noun trywen ; 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 be had already been in gaol, to the further term of two calendar months.

DAILY NEWS.—Never, perhaps was there so _ _ in mutiny. It is an unprofitable task to attribute designs to a personage to 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.

He may be consulted with ad vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili tated through secret practices acquired lv yfflith, or by the excesses of later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects of marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of un teasing misery and regret.

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 Ade's cell, and let him out also. After prowl iug about the prison all night, concealing themselves at times in the different 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. H. Blackman, Esq , visiting justice, after investigat ing the circumstances, and taking the evidence of myself, and turnkeys George Cox and John Parney, 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 cell by Isaacs, 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 Zaological 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, he 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 one of the sheds of the enclosure. The people rushed and caught hold of the net ropes, and pulled the balloon back into the enclosure. 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 Wire-bridge. He soon became extri cated, but struck the telegraphic wire, which hold 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 from all we can learn he arrived on the shore on the opposite side of the river, more frightened, perhaps, than hurt. This was the first attempt on the part of Mr. King to make an aerial voyage.—Pennsylvanian. APPROPRIATION OF A CLIURCII TO TUE ROMISU FAITII.—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 considerin g th e b est me ans 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 livulish purposes. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS CF TIIIS DAY. TlMES.—There is a branch of statistics which has been lately forced into notice by actual events of a new and extraordinary character. " 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 chhnge, and is no longer con tent to dwell quietly. Strange to say, our railways, our steamers, and our mastery of the ocean, have brought us back, in some respects, to the habits of the Nomads and Massagetm, or the crusaders and pilgrims of a later age. Within helf a year six mil lion visits have been paid to the great shrine of art by persons 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 thousand children sang " God save the Queen" at Manchester on Friday, and fifty thou sand adults repeated the hymn the next day in Hyde park. We forget how many millions are returned as having travelled by railway 1114 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 act...nauseam that the people are are leaving us at the rate of near a thousand a day. " Very well; what of that? They are only Irishmen, with a sprinkling of the ever-wander ing Scotch, and some of the less fortunate or re spectacle of our own countrymen." Be they what they may, the feet remains that we are witnessing a phenomenon of the same class with the migrations of the Gauls, the Goths, the Huns, the Turks, the Meg 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 dispoeed - 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. The 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 30e. an acre would not now remain on the land if, it were reduced to 20s. or I Os.—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 rade shall have disappeared from these isles, and the problem of seven centuries received its solution ? We dwell in wonderful 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 locotnotion. But all this is quick passing away, Geography, union workhouses, ocean mails, and tee daily sight of letters arriving in ten days from prosperous em i grants, are fast unroo ti ng the British rustic from th e so il , and giv i ng him cos mopolitan ideas. In a ve r y f ew years t h e ques ti on uppermost in his mind will b e whether h e w ill b e better off here or there ? Whether he should go with the young and enterprising, or stay at home with the i old and stupid ? If a quarter of a million British subjects have left this count r y f or the Austra li an co lonies in the present generati on , t h ere ma y eas ily be a much larger movement to a nearer a n d more wealthy region. It has been imagined, i n d ee d, that such a migration will have a natural t en d ency t o s top itself at a certain stage. We are told that the English la bourer will find a new field in Ireland, deserted by the Celt. It will, however, cost no more effort of mind to cross the ocean at once than 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. But when you melee 's:the English labourer have put him more in a condition richer, more independent, more intelligent, and more , wherever it may be found. The men who in the United States leave their homes for the Fur West are generally they who have prospered where they are, and who want the of these isles, sup posing datectnitpize'rnioysoellek his fortune excitement of another start in life. On the whole, we are disposed to think that the prospect is far too T e h x e od d u e s po to pu r l u a . t n io o n ut its course, and a serious to be neglected, or treated as a merely specu lative g q can be conceived; for political event asa change of re • dynasty or any other political revolution is nothing the compared with a change in the themselves. question. e st C io e n ftic All the departments of industry, he army, the navy, the cultivation of the fields,the rent of landed pro perty, the profit of trades, the payment of rates and taxes, depend on the people, and without th e people l there must ensue a genera collapse of all our institu tions. We are, however, rather desirous to recom mend the question to the consideration of others, and th especially of our statesmen, an to answer it our- selves. CHRONICLE —At the time when the French Conservatives, in their panic at the return of M. Eugene Sue, engrafted on the Constitution the law of May 31—as the ordinary French nomenclature de scribes the organic statutes annexing qualifications of domicile and settlement to the electoral franchise— we contented ourselves with explaining the nature of the measure and expressing our opinion of its vast importance. The law was one which could only be judged by its operation and results. It could not reasonably be disputed that the mischief against which it was directed was assuming a magnitude that naturally provoked audacity in the attempt to remove it. The large constituencies created by the Constitu tion were provieg utterly unmana g e able. It is, of course, illogical, and contra r y to the principles of free government, to pare down ele c t o ral bodies and to cul - tail the privilege of giving expression to politi ca l sentiment, simply as a means of shutting out a parti cular party learn power, or a particular policy from ascendancy, even though the party be Socialist, and the policy revolution en permanence. But in the eyes of reflecting, men the fault of the French constituencies the Moderates arid 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 band. 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 M. °non Barrot, both of whom are known to be of opinion that the 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 he 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. 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 said, the fact is that Whigs of a high rank, and who daily associate with Cabinet 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 allusion to the subject we trust that that hope 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 iu the nresent 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 origiu ; 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 present 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 be 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 prepared. The chief faults of the Bill of 1831.2 were found by experience to be-1. The constituencies it created in the large towns. 2. The constituencies it created or left in the small towns. Both were alike bad, though widely differing in character. The great towns,—and more especially the metropolitan boroughs,—were made the strongholds of Radicalism. The small towns were delivered over to bribery. Let us look at these two features apart. Of the m ob-constituencies created in the metropolitan boroughs, and in such towns to Maricheiter gr i d 3jspaingli4u, we 04 1 1 BPY 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. Tnis they did effectually by ordaining that none should have a vote without proving that he had been domiciled and employed in his 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 a hundred pretexts, 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 conservative party in 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 Cast•agnac. 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 bothmust be perfect, for that no quasi-legitimacy, or quas i -elec 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 every one's lip, is, why this very fine and p roper 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 liber . al sentiments and resolves, and stray speeches at thatedd moments. These, however, are but faint s flames, soo ns light up from smouldering ashes, to die . a born. The President' disfran chised millions of those who voted f President's regret for idle regrets, of those vain coruscations, those hailing in isone to act upon. but not the courage or constancy i e n r i v s e t e h r A o l ; which he has the weakness and wilfulness to betray, im, Faucher to-morrow.

Her Majesty, it is rumoured, will he 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 au 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, and were glad to bury it quietly after it had lived its day and served its pur pose. There are, however, we confess, practical difficulties to be urged in favour of the course which has been determined on, and at least it is now too late to alter arrangements which, though they may disap point public expectation, were no doubt snide with the best intentions. Fur the information of those wh o h ave t h e privi lege of admission to the building till Wednesday, we subjoin the following notice : " On Tuesday, att2r twelve o'clock, all persons pre senting cards are to be admitted at every door, includ ing they exit-doors; but red cards are to be admitted only at the west end.
