"And meantime," he concludes, "continue to intrigue as much as ever you like against the Constitution, against the Republic, against the People." Why, in testimony of the wisdom and the reasonableness of all this contemptuous indifference for party conspi , racies, take the conclusion deliberately arrived at by the foremost of all the English organs of legitimacy. The Quarterly Review, in the number published this very day, at the close of an elaborate analysis of the cause, the career, and the character of the last French Revolution, declares very explicitly, " . Whatever is to be done must be the act of the nation at large, guided not by the feelings of individuals, but by the ex perience of all—by the effect, in short, of public opinion—regina del mondo—of the grand experiment in which France has been so unfortunately involved, but which she must work out." Immediately after wards adding " Time and events will teach the French people whether a republic suits their tastes, their temper, or their interests." Yet M. DE LA ROCHE JACQUELIN, in the perverse egotism of his judgment, dreamt of surprising the Assembly into an abandon ment of the present secure ground of Republicanism, and, by so doing, of startling the people into a timorous treason to democracy. The hardihood of the attempt is only to be equalled by its most pitiable failure — the most daring of the upholders of Legitimacy slinking away from the side of the unfortunate delin quent who thus hazarded and lost the fortunes of his faction. Not a word of exculpation was audible from the benches of the Right ! Not a vote was tendered in support of the proposition! But, with a premoni tory protest on the part of M. Durex, yea even of M. Dense, the Royalist President of the Legis lative Assembly, to the effect that the motion was inadmissible from its illegal and unconstitutional nature—the Legislature, with all its mighty pha lanx of Monarchists, crushes the proposition with the silent unanimity of its condemnation. The party, we should say the so-called party of Order, have happily, by this ridiculous escapade, fully and utterly committed themselves. So utterly, that it is as if GUY FAWKI3S had boldly walked into the House of Lords, on the assembling of King JAMES'S Parliament, with that monster mask, and that gigantic match, and that Brobdignagian lantern, which are famili:4r to the frequenters of the regions of Pantomime. To this eccentric incident in the discussions of the Assembly we might apply the title of °TWAY'S tragedy, it being, in fact and in truth, nothing less than " Paris Preserved, or the Plot Discovered." Not without reason' have we intimated that the thanks of all real Republicans are due to the unwitting blunder of that PILL GARLicx of Legitimacy, the Honourable Representative, M. DB LA ROCIILJACQUELIN. the little town of Rye should be charged 4731. 18s., while the entire of Liverpool is required to contri bute but about one-third of that amount, or 1881. 13s. 101 ; that the thirty or forty houses in Win chilsea should pay nearly as much as the city of 13 tth, the former being bound to pay 4051., while the latter is only called on for 4331. Gs. ; that Shengay, in Cam bridgeshire, should pay 1371. 14i. 4d., on an aggre gate value of 6991., while Cheltenham only contributes 2231. 7s. Id. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Ordre contains an article on Russia from the pen of M. TRIERS, an article which fully justifies the bold front which Lord PALiunasTosi has assumed in regard to that most designing and unprincipled of the European Powers, and which shows that war with Russia is safer and cheaper than peace with her, so long as she pursues her present crafty and encroaching policy. Such an article from the pen of the personal and political opponent of Lord PALMERSTON, is most valuable, as it is an unwilling testimony borne to the justice of his views and to the soundness of his policy. M. TRIERS begins by saying that Russia keeps up ber immense armaments for the purpose of ruining the powers of the West by forcing them to keep up large armies, which disorganize their finances and ruin their credit. The article then proceeds thus : The Hon. Member for Buckinghamshire called the attention of his constituents to the monstrous injustice of their being required to pay ls. sd. in the pound on the net annual valuation of their lands, while other districts escaped far less than a farthing. The Honourable Gentleman and the party of which he is the recognised leader will, therefore, be bound to support a more equitable as sessment, and as they are for the time being the espe- cial pets of the Right Honourable Baronet the Chan cellor of her MAJESTY'S Exchequer, we cannot suppose that Sir CIIARLES Wool), although devoted to the laissez faire policy, could resist the proposition when coming from such a quarter, more especially as it would bring a considerable additional revenue to the nation. " To this fearful method (says the Ordre) of a forced armament she employs a second means no less delusive, that of an exaggerated custom-house system, rhich amounts to a continental blocl.ade. Thanks to the die rnemberment of Poland, and the practical subjection in which she holds the northern provinces of the Ottoman empire, the Russian Government has become the master of all the great lines of communication by which the Austrian monarchy and the German Confederation might have int e rcourse with the East. And what has this Government done ? It has Wined these lines. Upon the Niemen, the Pregel, the Vistula, and a part of the Warts, the Cabinet of St. Peters bergh has, in contempt of the treaties of 1815, in terdicted not only exchange, but even transit. The im mense commerce in corn and Lithuanian timber, which the Poles carried on with the ports of the Baltic, i❑ exchange for German manufactures, has ceased. Russia has hermetically closed her frontiers against Germany. At the same time master of the mouths of the Danube, the Russian Government reigns over Austrian commerce in the Black Sea, against which it is every day raising fresh obstacles," If the land-tax were fairly and equitably agessed, according to the original intention of Parliament, it would not only provide for the entire expenditure of the country and the maintenance of all our national establishments, with full efficiency, but also for the interest of the public debt, that incubus that paralyses the energies of our industrious population. It was never intended to apply only to real estate, although the owners of personal property have, as in the case of poors-rate, continued to evade all liability. It was, in fact, a property-tax, by which every descrip tion of property was bound to contribute to the national exigencies at the rate of 4,. in the pound, on the annual value, or 20s. in the 100/. on the capitalised value. Now, the accumulated property of the country has been estimated to amount to no less than two hundred and fifty millions of pounds per annum, exclusive of the very valuable, although unproductive, property in the hands of the aristocracy. Four shillings in the pound on this sum would produce fifty millions sterling per annum, which a competent and unimpeachable witness, the Hon. Member for Glasgow, has considered nearly sufficient for the gross expenditure of the country, including the charges of collection. Oppressed and over burdened tax -payers, reflect on this—think that the just and equitable assessment of the " land-tax" would permit the Government not only to strike off the whole of the assessed taxes, but even to abolish the customs and excise duties at one fell swoop, and to consign the "stamps and taxes" to the place from whence they came, and to which we trust they will speedily return. There is an object well worthy of a little extra labour, of the beneficial exercise of that "pressure from without" to which the "squeezable Whigs" have always been so ready to yield, and in which the agriculturists are bound to join under the efficient leadership of Er.

Mr. Mitchell respectfully announces that "the THEATRE will be RE-OPENED during the Easter Week, for the performanee of Comalie and Vaudeville, and begs to sabmit the following arrange menu:— Zngagements—M. lamson (of the Theatre Francais, Paris), his first appearance, Madlle. Denain (of the Theatre Francais), M. Regnier (ot the Theatre Francais), Madlle. Nathalie (of the Theatre Francais), and M. Lafont (of the Theatre des Varietes). The first production after Easter will be Scribe's popular Comedy if " Bertrand et Ration ;" Le Comte Bertrand de Ranttau (Premier Minis:re), .M. Samson, as performed by him in Paris. Subsequent performances will be selected from the following :—" L'Ecole des Veillards," " tin Veuvage," and " Ma Femme et Ma Place," new Comedies by M. Samson ; " La Marquis de Senneterre ;" the two admired Proverbs of Alfred de gusset, "Il ne Faut Jurer de lien," and " 11 Faut qu'une Porte soft Ouverte ou Fermee ;" " Les De moisellee de St. Cyr," " La Pali a Tout Prix," " En Chateau de eartes," ".Le Marl a la Campange," and the new Play by Emile Angier, " Gabrielle," new performing in Paris with unsurpassed suc cess, and in which Madlle Regnier nod Malta. Nathalie will sus tain their original characters. Mr. Mitchell feels particular gratification also in announcing that, • in the production of Scribe's celebrated Comedy of " La Camarade rie," estimated amongst the chef d'aivres of the modern stage, the •piincipal characters will be sustained by four members of the Theatre Francais, Paris—M. Samson, in the character of De Miremont ; Madlle. Denain, in that of Cesarine; M. Regnier in that of De it,,ntlucar ; and Madlle. Nathalie, in that of Zoe; presenting a com bination of ta:ent not to be witnessed at any other theatre in Europe, the arrangem2nts for which have teen most generously accelerated by the zdnunistration of the Theatre Francais, Paris. In addition to the present Company, and the foregoing engage me,ts, are the following : —Madlle. Avenel (of the Thei ire de ]'Odeon) ; Madlle. Brassine (of the Theatre du l'alais Royal); ..lbfadlle. Renaud (ot the Theatre du Vaudeville) ; Madame Octave (of the Theatre du Vandevil e) ; Madlle. Constance (of the Theatre des Varie.tes), The first performance oC the eminent tragedienne, Madlle. Rachel, Is definitively arranged for Monday, July Ist. Subscriptions for the reminder of the season may be arranged at Mr. Mitchell's Royal Library, 33, Old Bond-street. The writer then proceeds to show that, in addition to those methods, Russia is continually employed in fomenting differences between the European States, for the purpose of weakening them, and of adding to her own power by acting as arbitrator or protector, according to circumstances ; and that she is constantly endeavouring to foment troubles in the interior of each European State by intriguing with the different political parties into which the state may be divided. The writer then proceeds to observe : " Peace thus gives a preponderance to Russ i a such as she would not derive from 'the most fortunate war. Every day she accustoms the minor states to look to her as the arbitrator of the destinies of . the world and the dispenser of universal good fOrtune or misery. The menacing immobility of her forces adds a hundredfold to their prestige. She keepi weak Governments in fear, and the world in suspense, and she derives as much ad vantage from apprehension as she could from a series of victories; she holds high language to great states; she counsels and•conducts the little—in a word, she reigns. Look for proof at what is passing in the Austrian mo narchy, the German Confederation, at Naples, at Por tici, at Constantinople, and at Greece Who over this immense space is feared and attended to? Who counsels King William at Stuttgardt, and Otho at Athens? Who speaks as never did ambassador like Prince Gortschakoff at Frankfort? Who addreises . to the Whig Cabinet at London such unheard-of remonstrances? Who ? The Russian Government." HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. First appearance of Miss Catherine Hayes.

It is, therefore, more than ever necessary that the policy of resistance which Lord PALMERSTON has adopted should be carried out to the utmost, and that the people of England should not suffer themselves to be misled by the misrepresentations of the obscuran tist agents of the Russian policy, whether those mis representations may be made in the House of Peers or in the columns of a reactionary journal. The National has the following on the conduct of the Royalists on the motion of M. LAROCIIEJAQUELIN : " Can monarchy proceed ; as M. de Larochejaqtielin would have it, from a delegation of the people? Can monarchy exist in virtue of any other right than its own? And if it has popular right Riven to it for its origin, is it still monarchy ? Is that monarchy which it depends on the will of the people to abrogate? The (amity of. delegation implies that of revocation, and the act itself by which the people might establish the monar chical form would be the negation of the monarchical principle, and the affirmation of the popular sovereignty. A fortiori does what we here say apply to constitutional royalty? It may be seen, therefore, that as right and principle, monarchy has ceased to exist. Inexorable logic says ir, and general feeling proclaims it. As a usurping and revolutionary fact, monarchy may, it is true, be re-established by violence and surprise; but only, as we have said, as a usurping and revolutionary fact, and transitory. It is an abuse of language to say that monarchy can be restored. The _form of monarchy? Yes! We have just said bow, and at what price. But the principle! Never. For once again monarchy is by itself. It cannot be—in its essence and its truth—even in consequence of an abdication of the nation, which cannot abdicate its right over itself, and can always undo what it has done. Consequently the object intended by the proposition of M. de Larochejaquelin is nothing but nonsense. It ought to be well known that this word monarchy—legitimate or quasi legitimate—signifies no thing more than revolution, violent triumph of injustice, and at a given moment, popular vengeance. Let those who wish for a restoration of any kind ne longer speak of compromises impossible and necessarily perishable, except by oppression and abuse of force. Such is the question, and it must be accepted in these true terms : Right and Republic, immortal as Tight—monarchy and usurpation, ephemeral as everything which is the fruit of iniquity and of violeice.'? The Maniteur du Soil states that fire soldiers were arrested on Thursday near the column of July, where they had placed a crown of immorfalles. The review which was to have taken place in the Champ de Mars on Easter Monday has been post poned. The trial of the Legitimatists who were arrested some time since in the Rue de Rumford, on a charge of conspiring to overthrow the Republic, was con cluded before the Assize Court on Thursday. They were found guilty of having formed a secret society, and sentenced to various terms of imprison ment, varying from one month to six days. The mildness of these sentences contrasts curiously with the severity of those recently passed on the editors of the Reforme and of the other Republican journals, and with those passed by the su preme Court of Versailles on the accused of the 13th of June. Sentences such as these passed on the Le gitimatists are premiums to Royalist treason, and the Court which passes them is more guilty than even, the conspirators, of whom it makes itself the ex poet facto accomplice. The following is the Bank account for the week : Francs. Spccie ~. 340,841,273 Ditto In branches ... ... 140.266,031 Bills in portfolio ... ... 41,122.531 Bills in branches ... ... 64,046,262. We are rejoiced to find that the suggestion which we a short time since offered has been acted on, and that the preliminary steps have been token to offer to Mr. PURNELL, the worthy, philanthropic, and inde fatigable Chairman of the Gloucestershire Quarter Ses sions, a public testimonial for his unwearied exertions in exposing and in remedying the atrocious abuses which have hitherto prevailed in Private Lunatic Asylums, and the continuance of which reflects such disgrace upon the board of Lunacy Commissoners (presided over by Lord ASHLEY), whose especial duty it is to exercise a vigilant super intendence over these asylums, which, if exercised as the Legislature were led by Lord AsHLLY to be sieve at the time it consented to pass the Lunacy Bill, it would have been exercised, would have effectually prevented the occurrence of these abuses. The Glou cester Journal of Saturday last contains the follow ing report of the preliminary proceedings : " A meeting was held at the Shire-hall, in this city, on Taesday las', which was attended by Earl Fitzhar dinge (the Lord-Lieutenant), Lord Ellenborough, and several other magistrates, for the purpose of opening a subscription, to present Mr. Purnell, the County Chair man, with a public testimonial, for his conduct in rela tion to private lunatic asylums, for which a vote of thanks was passed to him at tale last Quarter Sessions A committee was chosen fur carrying out this object, and receiving subscriptions ; and Mr. Ellis, the Cleik of the Peace, aed Mr. Bolden, of London (who at tended on behalf (f the Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society), e ere appointed secretaries, to assist the com mittee. This testimonial has been most deservedly earned by Mr. Purnell, fur his unwearied exertions to ameliorate the treatment and condition of private lunatic patients, who are too frequently totally neglected. Although we understand it is desired to limit individual donations to a small amount, we have no doubt that the subscription will be warmly supported, not merely by , the inhabitants of this county, but by the public gene rally, and it has our cordial best wishes for its success." We heartily join in the wishes expressed by our cotem porary for the success of this subscription, and if we can form any judgment as to the probability of that success from the present state of the subscription, as advertised in another column, its success will be as complete as the most ardent admirers of the zeal, energy, and high-mindedness of Mr. PURNELL could desire. It will be a national tribute to a national benefactor. We are rejoiced to find that among those present at the meeting on Tuesday were Earl FITZHAEDINGR and the Errl of ELLINIIOROUGH, and we would most respectfully urge upon both those Noble Earls the necessity of drawing the attention of the House of Peers to the subject of the present state of the law of lunacy as soon after the Easter recess as possible. The unf)rs tunate illness of the Loma CHANCELLOR has hitherto prevented the introduction of any Bill for the alters • tion of those laws, and we fear that there is now very little chance of carrying such a measure through Parliament during the course of the present session, but there is still time to move for a Committee of Inquiry, and such a Committee would not fail to elicit evidence which would be most valuable to those who might undertake during the recess to prepare a well-digested measure for the reform of the laws of lunacy, to be submit'ed to Parliament at the commencement of the ensuing session. Of the necessity of such a measure, the following extract from the report pre sented by Mr. PURNELL to the General Court of Quarter Sessions for Gloucestershire, furnishes ample proof : "Of such results is an important one—that the Me• tropolitan Commissioners have, in their last visits to these houses, devo'ed a day to the careful inspection of each asylum." The community in general, and the owners and occupiers of property in the Holborn division of the county of Middlesex, in particular, are deeply in debted to Mr. -MAYES for having raised, and con ducted with so much zeal and energy, the important question on the unequal and unjust assessment of the land-tax in different portions of the metropolis. Although the efforts of Mr. MATES have not as yet been attended with success,—although the Commis sioners have refused to adopt the sound views put forward by the Learned Gentleman who so ably argued the case on behalf of the appellant,—a spirit has been excited which cannot be appeased until a full and complete measure of justice be rendered in the' , premises, and a more equitable principle introdUced for the guidaace of the Commissioners. 'Elie law itself, undoubtedly, requires amendment, for it is monstrous that one district or locality should be bound to contribute more than one hundredfold, in proportion to its actual value, of that which is demanded from a more favoured and prosperous qusiter. But much could be effectea, even under the present defective system, if the Commissioners would fully and fairly carry into operation the ex tensive powers with which they are entrusted, and not adhere With obstinate and unreasoning pertinacity to the. mischievous and ill-considered precedents established by former boards. There is nothing whatever in the 38 Geo. 111., c. si, the last Act relating to the subject, and the statute under which the tax is now levied and col lected, or in any former statutes, to render the de cision of the Commissioners with respect to the quotas assessed upon the different subdivisions of " the rest of the, county of Middlesex final and conclusive." There is no possible reason why the inhabitants of the wealthy parish of Marylebone should pay less than one half &farthing in the pound, while their less prosperous neighbours, in:St. Paul's, Covent-garden, are compelled to pay more than one shilling and tenpence-halfpenny in the pound—why St. Pancras should be assessed at the rate of one farthing in the pound only, while the Liberty of the Rolls is charged at the rate of 2s. 61 An equal rate of little more than one penny in the pound (1 1-64 d.) would raise the entire sum charged upon the entire Holborn division, being 13,6791. 13s. sd. on an annual value of 3,232,597/. ; but, in place of that easy and equitable charge being made, we find Maryle bone, the real property in which is valued at 1,132,3241., only called upon to provide 5641. ss. ld., and St. Pancras 1,3991. ss. 2d. out of 1,251,7371., while the Liberty of the Rolls must contribute 1,437/. si. 83. out of 14,5001, and St. Paul's, Covent-garden, 4.8401. 12s. out of 51,345/. This is "robbing Peter to pay Paul" with a vengeance, or, .. . - Happily f'or the cause of French Democracy, the perhaps, it would be more correct to say "robbing Legitimatiste have, petimes, been unmasked by them- Paul to ease Pancras, and all but exonerate Mary selves.

It has been resolved that all the villages in the empire shall be colonised—that is to say, every village shall form a long broad road, along both sides of which the houses of the peasantry shall be erected ; an equal number of acres of arable land shall be apportioned to every peasant ; nothing, how ever, has as 3et transpired as to whether the peasant is to be a free unshackled possessor of the piece of ground assigned to him, by giving the former pro prietor an equivalent sum, or letters of mortgage upon the mortgaged farm, or whether he is to be merely a tenant (zinsbauer), 1. e., whether, after the removal of the feudal tax (robath), he is to pay a stated amount of rent for the ground and soil of which he is now the proprietor.

The Osservatore Romano of the 18th announces the arrival at Rome of M. MICARD, secretary to Car dinal DUPONT. It adds that M. MICARD immediately waited upon General BARAGUAT-D'HILLIERS, and had a long conference with him, and that the General returned him his visit on the following day, and again stayed a long time with him. The Osservatore con cludes its article as follows : " It is said that the Holy Father, being informed that the mission of the General is likel y soon to cease, in tends to hasten his return in order to give the illustrious commandant a personal proof of confidence and esteem, and that the journey of M. Micard had no other object but that of coming to an understanding as to the final steps to bo taken. Cardinal Dupont is still with his Holiness, and since his Eminence has succeeded in re moving existing difficulties, may it please God that no new difficulties may arise." The Riferma of Lucca of the 20th, in speaking of the dispute that has arisen between Tuscany and the British Government, and of the Sardinian mediation proposed by the latter, says that the Austrian Govern ment has shown great displeasure at this mediation, and presented a strong note to the British Cabinet on the subject. Sir G. HAMILTON, according to this account, has countermanded the grand ball he had prepared for the marriage of the Archduchess, and forbid the persons attached to the embassy to appear in the salons of the Pitti palace. The Nazionale of Florence stops the press to announce that the Tuscan Government has refused the Sardinian me diation." AFFAIRS OF GREECE. The Supplement of the Corfu Gazette of the 15th contains the following dispatch from Count IsTEssm.- RODE to M. PERSIAN!, the Russian Ambassador at Athens : "His Majesty the Emperor is much concerned at the unsatisfactory accounts from Greece. and immediately commissioned M. Von Brunnow to inform Lord Palmer ston of the unfavourable impression which the compul sory measures adopted towards the Greek marine had produced upon the mind of his Majesty—m( asures which may destroy the existing peace, and place the kingdom created by the three Powers in great difficul ties. his Majesty hopes that the Government of Great Britain will be disposed to settle this unpleasant affair amicably, and has not the least doubt that by the friendly intervention of France, it may already have been adjusted. If, however, the intervention of France should lead to no result, Russia is willing to undertake the settlement of this unpleasant difference. • " Count Von Neeselrode, in sending M. Persiani a copy of his note to M. Von Brunnow, admonishes him, at the same time, to give his best advice to the Greek Government, in order that the matter may be speedily settled. " Count Nesselrode fully approres of the conduct of M. Poraiani."

NUTMEG PASTE.—An importation has recently taken place from Rotterdam of a parcel of paste prepared from nutmegs, for the purpose of mixing with soap, and which, finding no description applicable thereto in the table of duties, was declared as goods manufactured not otherwise enumerated at the ad valorem duty of ten per cent., which description was objected to by the officers of the revenue, who considered it to be liable to duty, as an expressed and essential oil, of one shilling per lb., which rate of duty has - consideration of the matter, been directed to be charged, - , iele on then,,_ AMERICA.—The new American- IMPORTS V or k1.,0e docks, upwards of 1,?00 tons built litiezoPpackei shi p _ trFrn New York, has burden, which h .., as arrived inv nrovisions and general brought a very eAteirsite cargo of nork, cheese, hops, mer chandise, including Imeotti beef, rice , ant i a ~:iriety of other . lard, apples, sugar, oil cake kit tattle, articles.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT IN ALDBEHANBDHY.-011 Thursday, shortly after twelve o'clock, a serious accident hap pened in Aldermanbury to two persons, a man and a boy, who were employed in repairing a house, and who are now in St. Bartholowew's Hospital, in consequence of the in juries received. There is a scaffold in front of the building, and, it being dinner time, they were both leaving their work. The boy had got about half-way down the scaffold, when he put his foot upon a piece of timber that was placed longi tudinally in the wall. This being loose, came away, the effect of which was that he fell to the ground. The block of timber struck the man on the head, when he was immediately precipitated from the scaffold. They were instantly as sited up, and, being found to be seriously injured, were placed upon shutters and conveyed by the workmen to St. Bartholo mew's Hospital. After being attended by the house-surgeon they were placed in bed in the accident ward.
