A. PIA A; als Q.... 11,, -- -1 An article published in the Assemblee Nationale, commenting on the address of the Emperor an nouncing his marriage, it is attributed, rightly or wrongly, to a distinguished statesman now living in retirement. The article in question is as fol lows : - - " The speech by which the Emperor communicated his marriage to the great bodies of the State is, above all, a political one. If, from the person chosen, this marriage appears at the first glance to be only a pri vate affair, the Chief of the State has, nevertheless, himself felt the necessity of giving an explanation of it, and in some measure a political commentary, We are far from complaining of it, for we find in the speech of his Majesty the formal confirmation of what we have always thought and sometimes said on the true cha racter of the new Empire. It must be admitted that the Chief of the State expressed himself with great clear ness and frankness. He definitively removed all veils, and it is henceforth a well-established and solemnly ad mitted point that not only is the Empire not a mo narchy such as it is known in 'France, but that it has little resemblance and analogy with all the monarchies of Europe, for it places itself vis-a-vis to them by always remembering its origin and preserving its own character. Its origin is revolution ; its sovereignty the issue of uni versal suffrage. Such is the Empire. On the other side are traditional monarchies. There are, therefore, two principles confronted, the antagonism and the struggles of which, from the year 1791 to the year 1815, made the world tremble on its old foundations. On this point the Empire of 1804 and that of 1852 resemble each other, but here is where the difference commences :—Na poleon, the first of the name, had scarcely attained the Sovereign power than he had but one idea—that 'of entering into. the Family of Kings. To arrive at this, he multiplied his victories, and it was not until he had twice conquered Austria, on the fields of Austerlitz and Wagram, that he obtained an Arch-Duchess, and became the son-in-law of the Emperor Francis. The Emperor Napoleon thus made use of his glory to place his throne on a level with those of the old Monarchies of Europe. We think there has been a moment when his successor had the same idea and the same desire. However that may be, he has now relinquished it ; he declares that it is not by giving an old character to his bla zon (vieillissant son blazon), and in seeking to intro duce himself at any price into the family of Kings, that . he could make himself accepted. His uncle left to him tw o examples—his union with Josephine (he was then only a General,) and his marriage with an Arch- Duchess. It is the first example, it is the virtues of Josephine, that Napoleon 111. now invokes, and which are to be revived in the new Empress. There is also in the speech now engaging the attention of France and Europe an expression which has caused us some spr prise. We do not think after having invoked the ti*f tions of the first Empire, and after having taken the title of Napoleon 111., one could be still a parvenu. A par venu is, as it appears to us, he who from the rank of a simple sub-lieutenant of artillery comes to surround his forehead with the Imperial band after passing over as a conqueror the fields of battle of Italy, and Egypt. But When it is the illustration of a great name and the pres tige which that name exercises on the imagination of a Whole people which have placed the crown on the head of a prince, he cannot call himself a parvenu. What strikes us in the speech which we have now under exa mination is that the traditions of old policy, always hitherto followed, even through the storms of revolu tions, appear to be now abandoned. We have also asked ourselves why the chief of the state proclaimed that he will not be less strong, since he will be more free ; and why he adds that the new Empress will be the ornament of the throne, as in the day of danger she will become one of its most courageous sup ports. There are, therefore, dangers in the future ! There are, therefore, struggles to foresee since forces are calculated and mention made of courgeous support. Is the speech of the 22d January in unison with that of Bordeaux? The latter a few months since told Europe 4 1' Empire, c'est la pain;.' The speech of the 22d J anuary also addresses monarchical Europe in speaking to France, a n d sa ys. `The Empire is a new principle, a principle contrary to yours ; it is the rupture with all the tradi tions of old policy... We know it, but it is the first time that this truth has appeared clearly to every eye. We, therefore, are not surprised at the serious impressions 'which on this subject have passed through people's minds." " In the course of the year 1850 the Courts of Assizes pronounced 53 condemnations to death, of which 33 were executed. The crimes which led to these con demnations consisted of crimes against the person and crimes against property. It is almost useless to remark that crimes against the person lead, more than others, to capital penalties : thus, out of the 53 condemnations to death, 48 belonged the first category, and only 5 to the second. The 48 criminals consisted of 7 parricides, 32 murderers or assassins, 7 of whom attempted to cause death, but without succeeding, 1 attempt at infanticide, and 5 poisonings. The 5 persona guilty of crimes against property were incendiaries. It is certain that from the moment the jury pronounced, and that the Executive Government thought that the law ought to receive its complete execution in the case of the 33 con demned, it was because their crimes had an exceptional character, and that it was necessary to make an ex ample. Now we dispute the utility, the morality of this terrible example, which appears to us very seriously contradicted by experience also, and by the large number of executions which took place in the first years of our century. If the example were really one, the 8,000 condemnations to death pronounced from 1801 to 1825 should, it seems to us, have prevented more efficaciously the return of the crimes which excited them. But the contrary has happened. Of the 53 condemned to death, 20, as already stated, obtained commutations of punishment. But the jury made a still larger use of the sovereign right of appreciation with which it is invested. Amongst the accused who ap peared before it, 270 were under accusations for capital offences. It might have stricken them, but refrained from doing so. Out of 82 assassins, it caused 54 to be condemned to the hulks for life, and 28 to the hulks for different periods. It also sent to the bagne, and not to the scaffold, 75 incendiaries, 74 persons convicted of in fanticide, 17 murderers, and 3 parricides ; that is to sa y, the jury did not apply the penalty of death to the greater number of accused who had incurred it ; it carried into the sanctuary of justice and law the general sentiment, and as it were the reflection of public opinion. The sole declaration of extenuating circumstances suffered to dis arm terrible rigours, and to spare the lives of 250 persons whose guilt was, however, recognised. We 'ask where would have been the danger to society, if the jury, as it had the right and the power, had admitted extenuating circumstances in favour of the 33 condemned who were executed, and if during a whole year the guillotine had been inactive in France I" PIEDMONT. In its sitting of the 20th, the Senate of Turin continued the discussion on the Slave Trade Sus pension Bill. Various punishments were voted for cases of cruelty to slaves on board, and the ques tion of the right of search was decided in the affirmative. The deputies continued the discussion on the Budget of Public Works. We mentioned a few days ago that a Piedmon tese officer received an affront from an Austrian officer at Milan, and was ordered out of the country by the police. A hostile meeting has taken place in consequence at Piacenza between the parties, which has ended in wounds on both sides. If any object to this that it will be a premium for professing to be Dissenters, or that there is any moral obligation to pay these rates arising out of the tenure of the property rated (as is understood to have been urged by Sir R. Inglis), both these objections may be removed by requiring the person claiming to be a Dissenter to show to what sect he belongs, and also that he has contributed to its funds. It appears to me that it is only in ac cordance with the Act of Toleration, which justifies Dissenters in absenting themselves from the parish church, and in erecting, maintain ing, and frequenting their own places of worship, to exempt them from the payment of Church rates ; and that on the other hand it would be more consistent (with the compulsory payment of these rates) to revive the fines and imprisonments inflicted for non-attendance of the parochial churches. Soon after the Restoration of Charles the Second, and the re-establishment of the present Episcopal Church, notwithstanding the King had promised to maintain liberty of conscience, an at tempt was made to destroy dissent by inflicting the most enormous and apparently ruinous fines for the non-attendance of the parish churches, and for meeting in what were called conventi des. Of' the small religious Society of Friends several thousands of its members were at one time incarcerated in noisome priSons, where numbers died for such offences as these, or for not taking the Oath of Allegiance, &c., simply because they would not swear at all, in obedience to the commands of their Saviour, although they offered freely to de clare solemnly to the same effect. All those who are liberally and kindly disposed, but who really fear that without legal enactments due provision for public worship cannot be secured, I would, not boastfully, but respectfully, invite to a considera tion of the experience of the Society of Friends, although a very small body, during the two hundred years which have passed since its organisation. In all this time, it has built and maintained its own places of worship, purchased and maintained its own burial-grounds, supported and educated its own poor members, whilst all its members have had to contribute their full share of the national and parochial taxation, and in the cases of Church rates, and other ecclesiastical demands generally, with heavy expenses added to the demand. Yet the society has never found it difficult to raise by the voluntary' contributions of its members, besides bearing all the before mentioned items, whatever it ha,s thought it right for it to expend in any foreign or domestic object of benevolence. The annual meeting, or legislative body of the society, communicates its wishes to the county or quarterly meetings of the society. In every district meeting, a committee is then appointed to communicate the subject to each individual member, and to receive any voluntary contribution ; but no one is assessed or rated, much less compelled in any way. If a few hundred or thousands of pounds are wanted for any such objects, I should as much expect the course of nature to be changed as any diffi culty to be experienced in obtaining a satisfactory r esponse to such applications so MADE ; an d I be lieve it will ever be so whilst th e soc i ety continues beginning. Some Some may object that similar r easons may ben the principles it h as professed from the urged for exempting Dissenters from all claims for ecclesiastical purposes connected with the Esta blished Church. To some extent this is true, but the different claims would require different treat ment. Church-rates are a mere tax, imposed or not, from time to • time by the decision of a majority of the parishioners assem bled in vestry for the purpose. They are according due to personallyt the property or the health occupied, a thy o are ugh n most unjustly levied upon Dissent ers , b ecause, or good of the soul of the occupant. I wou ld, therefore, abolish the power to raise them, or exempt l tehcroatseidd ered a s Dissenters. The tithe-rent charge I consider to be a charge upon the land (and national property), unjustly applied to one sect of Christian s in the present state of religious belief. I would, therefore, hope that it may be handed over to the Commis sioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, leaving every person at liberty to free his land, by redeeming it, as in the case of the Land Tax.—l am, respectfully, PHILIP D.

In the afternoon his Majesty took a drive in a phaeton in the Champs Elysees. The Emperor afterwards transmitted I,ooofr. to the Hospital of Alais. The Consulting Railway Commission has of late met several times at the Ministry of Public Works, ,under the presidentship of the Minister. The Commission has been occupied with several quef - tions concerning tariffs, and with a plan proposed for extending the railway from Rheims to the Bel gian frontier. It has heard the reports and repre sentations of the various parties interested, rela tive to the direction to be taken by the line, which the Government appears to regard as of general interest. Several sub-commissions have been formed for the purpose of urging on the examina tion of the various matters on which the Consult ing Commission will have to pronounce. The Jourd,al du Pays de Caux contains the fol lowing :—" The gendarmerie of St. ;Valery has just arrested on a warrant a young man, aged 18, accused of having on the 24th December last, re ceived the communion in the midnight mass, with out having previously received any other sacra ment.. It is said that he committed this sacrilege for a wager. He has been sent to Yvetot, to be placed at the disposal of the judicial authorities. In expiation of his profanation, public prayers have been said in the church." The Seine continues to rise, and at present marks 5 metres 7 cents. on the scale at the Pont-Royal Snow fell on Saturday at Paris for the first time this winter, but melted immediately.

It appears that a girl, named Eliza, Pullinger, aged only 15, had been living o th th e i g n i g rl w wasa s'however, said taken very ill, and applied to Mr. Blackstone , sur g eon, Camberwell, by as a servant with Mr. Cooper , g roc er , of 3 , Clarence place, near the Duke of Cla renc e , Camberwell.

She sent a younger sister to officiate for her at Mrs. Cooper's, who in the course of the day, upon going to a cupboard in the back kitchen for the purpose of procuring a flannel to clean the floor, took hold of an old rag, and was much sur prised and alarmed at finding the body of a newly born infant, which had been rolled therein, fall to the ground. The girl Pullinger was subsequently taxed with having given birth to this child, which she eventually admitted, stating that she had delivered herself, and placed it in the olpboard alluded to. She further stated that the father was a man named 'Tames Brown, a bonnet blocker, liv'ng at No. 3 in the same street, and upwards of 40 years of age. The man Brown has subsequently to this disc very committed suicide by cutting his throat, and his body, together with that of the child, now await a coroner's inquest. The woman, who is in a very danger ous condition; is of course under the surveillance of the police. par —1 pin 7 - 7i 41 -.4.4 ••• .-.... ... ... ...

Since writing my last notes on the Derby, I have as certained that one of Osborne's lot, the b. gelding Mo- . cassin, who I stated was out of training, is to be put into work very shortly. Having considered the Malton and Middleham stables to the satisfaction, I hope, of my readers, I will next turn my attention to those located at Richmond, Beverley, Hambleton, and Gullane, com mencing with J. GILL'S, at the first named place. Mr. Thompson's b. c. GIIICOWAR, by Galaor out of Pharmacopeia, has run four races, in two without ob taining a place but in the other two—both Consolation Scramble Stakes—did manage, somehow or other, to finish fourth : an original kind of consolation to his owner, certainly, for loss of cash in training such a brute. Mr. Thompson's b. c., by Hindoo or Galaor out of Stephanie, is much such another animal as the preceding, and good for but little. Has not run. _ _ J. Gill's c. h. gelding, by Birdcatcher out of Flower of the Tees, is a fourth class horse. Has run once— fourth to the Hatchet for the Wright Stakes at Richmond. Mr. Thomas' b. c. BEVERLAC (late young Beverlac), by Beverlac out of Glance, by Venison, is a horse that will figure to advantage among the third rates, and is probably the best of the Derby horses in training at Richmond ; which, I take it, is paying him a left-handed compliment, as any of the lot, even allowed a stone, would have but little chance of winning. He has started thrice, and ran moderately well on each occasion. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 19th have arrived in due course. The Gazette contains a royal decree, by which M. Martinez cle la Rosa is noini- ITALY. A letter from Rome states that the Rev. Mr. Manning, who seceded some time ago from the Church of England, preached his first Catholic sermon in the church of St. Andrea della Valle, at Rome, on the 11th, to a crowded congregation. The Genoa Mercantile Corriere, of the 20th, an nounces the discovery of a lead mine, containing silver, in the neighbourhood of Ardesia, in the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. The Senate of Sardinia continued to discuss, on the 21st inst., the bill relative to the repression of the slave trade, and the Chamber of Deputies had not yet concluded the discussion on the estimates of the Department of Public Works. PRUSSIA. Aletterf intendsrom Munichtoreduce etciei the th chattahregeßs forava rian Government the transmission of dispatches by the electric telegraph within the limits of its own territory. A letter from Berlin contradicts a report of an increase in the effective strength of the federal German army. The Diet has not, it says, resolved on an extraordinary levy of 50,000 men, and the states have not been called on to increase their con tingents. One circumstance alone may, it is added, have given rise to these inventions. The Diet has started the question as to whether the contingents should be raised from one per cent. to one and a half per cent. of the population. The Plenipoten tiaries wait for instructions from their Governments on this subject. It is stated that the Prussian Minister has received orders to vote against this contemplated augmentation, and to propose as the basis of the division of the for,,es the census of 1852 instead of that of 1846, the numbers of which do not respond to the increase of the population. AUSTRIA. The Austrian authorities at Pesth published, eight days ago, a ,notification that men guilty of murder, brigandage, or carrying forbidden arms, are to be tried by courts-martial, and other offences by the civil tribunals. In consequence of this, a Jew who, four years ago, was condemned to death by court-martial for robbery, was given up to the civil tribunals to be tried by them. According to the Berlin journals, a division of infantry of the Russian army has taken up its winter quarters on the frontiers of Poland. It is commanded by General Dreschernn, and he and his staff are in the town of Kielce. General Chinszejew, with another division, is at the fron tier of Czenstochan, and there are also numerous detachments of Cossacks on the frontier. LONDON ORPHAN ASTLIIM.—The annual general meeting of the governors and subscribers to this chari table institution was held yesterday morning, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of receiving the annual report, for the appointment of the officers for the year ensuing, and for electing 30 children (8 girls and 22 boys) ' from a list of 133 candidates, into the asylum ; Mr. Alderman Thompson, M.P., in the chair. The report for the past year stated, that since the general meeting of 1852, 71 children had completed their term, 8 had died, and 67 had been admitted. At that present time, therefore, with the 30 to be elected that day, there would be 408, making a total number benefited by the charity of 2,039. The board had peculiar reason for lamenting the loss sustained by the nation in the death of the late Duke of Wellington, for he had been a liberal patron of the institution, and had had presided no • less than five times at its anni versaries. They had, however, much gratification in announcing that the present duke had consented to act as a vice-president. During the past year the following legacies had been received :-1,0001. Consols from the late Mrs. Sibbon ; 2001. from the executors of the late Mrs. Anastasia Ogle ; 2101. Consols from the executors of the late Mrs. A. Dunlop ; 1,0001. from the late Mr. Thomas Dickenson ; and 3361. 6s. Bd. from the execu tors of the late Earl of Oxford ; making altogether a total of 2,803/. 6s. Bd. The report, after calling atten tion to the health of the children after their recovery from scarlatina, paid a high eulogium to the late head master of the school, the Rev. R. Heath, and concluded by stating that the Rev. H. Beattie, late vice-president of the national school, had been appointed to the mastership. The balance-sheet showed the total re c2ipts (including a balance in hand of 1891. 18s. 6d.) for the past year to hare been 10,6911. 17s. 4d. ; and after all the necessary expenses had been defrayed, there was left a balance in hand of 4501.

It appears that on Tuesday evening last, Mrs. Duffill, an innkeeper's wife, of Beverley, was returning from this town by the last train. All the passengers got out at Cottingham, excepting one man, who sat in the same carriage as she did. After the train had been in motion a few minutes some persons near the line heard a female's voice calling some one a thief, and these were followed by cries of help and murder all proceeding from the same carriage. They followed as fast as they could, and fancied they saw something thrown from the train, and upor t i he. _ e reach ing the spot found the lady in question lying by a side of of the rail, quite insensible. She was taken to w h as ? re moved by, and the next day, it being found w Ilhopes of moved home, where she lies without,y ef the bra in i re covery, being suffering from concussione .eft home , not a she had a large sum when she h 1 when picked IT a penny was left in her possession ieverley the fellow u ell a c I Upon the train slackening at . then known at been out and made off, nothing being then of Beverley has tion of the matter. A eld to bail. taken on suspicion, and h E. ELLIOTT, of Sylvis-house, Richmond, has only a solitary Derby nag in training--his own br. c. DONSKOY, by Hetman Platoff, dam by Blacklock—sister to Barefoot, who made his only appearance in public at Durham, when he passed the post for the Hopeful Stakes (won by Exact) about last of all. As a matter of course will not do for the "great go." C. WINTRINGHAM, of Richmond, also has only one Derby horse under his care, Mr. Singleton's b. c. TRIO, by lago out of Actual (Brown Fly's dam), who will not pass muster for the Derby, but may for some of the small Handicaps. Has not started. JAMES ARMSTRONG, of Beverly, has a trashy animal of Mr. H. Brown's at work, 'yclept BROTH OF A BOY, by Fancy Boy out of Clorinda. nominated by Mr. R. Hebblethwaite. The Boy has started once, when he was beaten easily for the Bishop Burton Stakes at Beverley, won by Anne Eliza. G. NOBLE, of Beverley, has a ch. c. called the CURFEW, by Red Deer out of Sunset, nominated by Mr. Wilkins, in training. The present proprietor's name I have been unable to ascertain, but believe it to be Capt. Reynard. Any information on this score will be gladly received. Has not appeared in public, but is reported to be a mo derate animal, and useful only for short distances. R. HE SSELTINE, of Hambleton-house,_ has Mr. C. H arr i son ' s b . C. ; MARK PARVIN, by Young Professor, dam by Voltaire, out of Golden Drop, at work. This colt is of no ac count, and in the only race he figured could not manage to obtain a place. HENRY STEBBING, of Hambleton, has four Derby nags in preparation, not one of which, however, in my opinion, will go to Epsom. They are Mr. J. B. Morris's b. c. KING DAVID, by Assault out of the Slayer's Daughter, bought at York when a yearling for 125 guineas, a runner in four races, and winner in none ; Mr. J. B. Morris's br. c. YOUTHFUL DAYS, by Birdcatcher out of Playmate, a runner thrice, and, like the preceding, on each occasion, a loser ; Mr. Knowles's b. c. TALPOURD (own brother to Tadmor), by lon out of Palmyra, nominated by Col. Peel, who was thought so much of when a yearling that, at the sale of Col. Peel's stud, he was bought in for 1,200 guineas, has appeared before the public thrice, and been defeated easily each time ; and Mr. KNOWLES' ch. c. OSIRIS, by Slane out of Jo, nominated by Col. Peel, who has not run as yet, and is probably the best of the quartette. I entertain, however, but very little hope of his being any better than that notorious im postor Lapidist, to whom he is half-brother. J. THRIFT, of Gullane, has Capt. Key's b. c. THE MAJOR, by Cother stone, out of Drum Major's dam, nominated by L or d Exeter, in traini ng . Th e horse has not run as yet, and when he does will be found to be but a third-class animal. NEWTON SPRING MEETING. The first spring meeting of the season takes place to morrow at Newton, under the stewardship of Captain White and T. Legh, Esq., with Mr. Toph am as l essee and clerk of th e course. The bill of fare for the day is uncommonly good ; and as there is sure to be a large attendance of the Manchester men, in addition to a strong muster of the Metropolitans, the meeting will, no doubt, go off with considerable eclat. There are four races on the card for decision ; and the performances will commence, I believe, at half-past one. The doings of the influential members of the ring would lead one to infer that the Golborne Handicap Steeple-chase is almost certain to come off in favour of SHINRONE or QUICKSTEP ; although I fancy if Mr. Barnard were to run his Young Lottery instead of Quickstep, his chance of victory would be beaer ; but I presume he has cogent reasons for what he is doing. Cabin-bay seems to be the next animal in point of at traction. The movements on the Free Handicap Steeple-chase particularly indicate FRESHWATER, and the b. in. by the Genius, as the best things ; Flying Buck an d Lady Wilton standing third and fourth in estimation. In the Handicap Hurdle Race, in the absence of Quickstep, CAURIRE and , QUEEN OF THE VALE are booked as the certain occupants of the first and second places. The Handicap Plate of 30 sovs., heats one mile and a quarter, is rather a comical sort of stake to inaugurate the flat racing of the year. Seven out of the eight no minations will, I understand, go to the post ; and it is my opinion that, favoured by the light weigh of 6st. 101 b., Mr. Grimer's b. m. CRIPPLE KATE Will just manage to the second carry and third off the pl plate ; ace Har s 'and T rue G irl obtaining . The latest betting this morning on the foregoing events is as follows :—Golborne Handicap -5 to 2 agst Quick step, 3 to 1 taken ; 3 to 1 agst Shinrone, 7to 2 and 4 to 1 taken to some money ; sto 1 agst - Cabin-boy. Free Handicap Steeplechase -2 to 1 agst Freshwater ;3to 1 each agst Genius mare and Lady Wilton ; 4 to 1 agst Flying Buck. mare Race-6 to 4 agst Caurire ;2 to 1 agst Queen of the Vale.

THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. MEETINGS OF. PUBLIC COMPANIES.—PROFESSED RE" PORTERS.—Circumstances have come to our knbwledge within the last few days, which render it necessary that the chairman or secretaries of companies should be warned against certain persons who attend their public meetings in the capacity of professed reporters, and re ceive money from them by undertaking to get reports of the proceedings inserted in the morning journals. Such persons do not belong to any paper, and the mere fact of receiving any sum under a representation of being able to insure the publication of reports, is obtaining money under false pretences. The press would feel that an and tPheart s i i T an ,u ther k e mentionedy course c ommissioners oifn have t otogether mentioned et li h P e essential service would be rendered to it were all such persons to be handed over to the Chronicle ei al abe ecti authorities.-- Morningjw.esn)sptaertesisa, Advertiser. ornw the itiwith thetrhee- THE TOMB.OF DANIEL THE PROPHET.—A letter from w th o e rk ß s o o s n ton th e e ht tmomal i biso of f Daniel,t h o ancient frethe Estherh he e p p r a ol willap a c hn e re , de t read Daniel, Shushan, h hi ee a al n , aE s a n s c d t r b e b e d l r u , e Booksanadndthwoehite, and blackad reader can turn to "pavement of red, marble, in that palace." marks of greatness and glory that are a That pavement still exist:_c,ulpture, n in the marble columns, t d h il e ap co id m at m ed iss ru ion in e : stands sbt, tomb b s a ; croend it is as m n s d eat th te e red rem ar ain oun in d g , the exact truth of the record sFu h lptured the figure of a man, an.
