Particulars required as to whom they have represented, and the district taken.—Address C. T., Manches ter Athenaeum. The sti ictest confidence observed. will be in the form commonly in use between the Sovereigns of Europe, alth oug h some doubt has existed as to the precise appellation by which the new Emperor is to be addressed. - But if the substance of the measure be unanimously determined on, we are disposed to attach little importance to verbal reservation, and if the thing be done at all, it is worth while to do it civilly. Nobody in writing to a stranger hesitates to sub scribe himself " Your most obedient servant," and if the usage of diplomacy leads Queen Victoria to style Louis Napoleon " her good brother," the form would only acquire unnecessary importance by its suppression. But though these forms will probably be employed, unless the Court of St. Petersburgh and Vienna endeavour to evade them by some small subterfuge of language, we have reason to believe that the recognition of the Empire will be accompanied by a dry refusal to take any cognisance of the internal changes which have led to this alteration in the form of the Frene Go vernment. The plebiscite and the Senates-consulte which have been officially communicated to foreign Powers by the French Government can have no bearing on the external relations of France, and the ground on which the Empire is now recognised is solely the desire to maintain unimpaired all those conditions which have so long consolidated the peace of Europe. Lord Malmesbury will, there fore, stand alone in his recorded admiration of the manner in which the French Empire has been established on the basis of universal suffrage, for the other great Powers, speaki ng i n f ar more guarded and reserved language, content them selves with a bare recognition of the known result. Such will be the substance of their communica tions to France, and the language of the three Courts will be similar, though not iden tical. The concert which Lord Mahnesbury had at one time laboured to establish be tween the Continental Powers and her Majesty's Government on this important subject was of course materially affected by the strange panegyric he thought proper to pronounce on the new Em peror, and by his naïve avowal of unqualified con fidence in his assertions—even when they were addressed to the French Senate. While the delay in the recognition of Louis Na paleon's new dignity by the leading Powers of the Continent has caused ,a degree of dis-salisfution and irritation which the Aran of tlie. - cciniiiinication, when made, will probably, not altogether remove, it is not irrelevant to notice the appearance of a pamphlet, which professes to treat of the " limits of France," and does, in fact, revive 'the most ex travagant pretensions of territorial aggrandisement. As a strict censorship is now exercised in France over all works of less than 20 printed sheets, and everything which has not the approval of the Go vernment is instantly prohibited, it must be inferred that the opinions expressed in this pamphlet are not without patrons and advocates in the State, and, in fact, we have reason to believe that the same views are very openly professed by M. de Persigny, now Minister of the Interior. The pamphlet itself has been profusely circulated, we might say distributed, in the barracks of France, and it is read with avi dity by the army. Its object is to prove that the French nation has steadily declined from its proper position and influence in Europe, and that it can only recover its natural ascendancy by its military resources and by a large augmentation of territory at the expense of its neighbours. The old theory of the Alps and the Rhine as the natural boundaries of the Empire is there revived, and the French reader is informed, with the usual fatuity of such compositions, that his Belgian and German neigh bours are eager to fall under the same yoke which he bears himself. This vulgar trash would hardly deserve the notice it has received if it were not to be taken as an indication of some such latent pur pose in one portion at least of the French Govern ment. The public mind in France, which had been excited by the rapid fortunes of the Imperial aspi rant, is suddenly chilled by the failure of several of his schemes, and by the evident uneasiness of his position at the discomfiture of these hopes. As President of the Republic he seemed master of his fate ; as Emperor he is already struggling under a heavier burden than he has yet had to bear. This attempt to divert the attention of the nation and the ambition of the army into the old track of ra pine and conquest is probably no more than an experiment on public opi n i on , b u t on several for mer occasions similar experimental pamphlets have been tried, which led afterwards to more serious results. It deserves, therefore, to be considered as one of the signs of these times, that it shows with how little cordiality on either side the usual forme of official recognition will be exchanged between the French Government and the Northern Powers.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few egally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this Important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment.of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'iifert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and nviolable secrecy 'which are so requisite in the treatment of these axes.

TWO EMPIRES OF TIME. THE PAST AND THE PRESENT, THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW. GLANCING back through the year 1852, E. MOSES and SONS have a duty to discharge to them highly gratifying ; they have to acknowledge an amount of patronage on their Establishment and its branches which exceeds the possibility of enumeration, and fully demonstrates the established convic tion on the public mind, of the superiority of their system of Business, and the general excellencies of their Goods. This in crease of pnblic favour will never be disregarded by E. MOSES and SON, but will form a stimulant to still greater efforts, where possibility will permit, and to fresh enterprises where these can procure the best, the most fashionable, and the most seasonable ma terials for every description of Dress, with which they always asso ciate the most artistic, the neatest, and soundest workmanship. The appointment of a distinct class of Artists to each style of attire, has produced a fit universally famed for correctness and com fort, and in the manufacture of Garments for every station and pro fession in society ; for Sportsmen, Juveniles, and Mechanics ; the most unflinchin; regard will continue to be paid, the highest order of materials and workmanship, and the lowest possible charges will furnish additional attractions for thousands. A degree of patronage unparalleled has been bestowed On the Ready•made Clothing Depart ment, which it has always been their ceaseless assiduity to render superior to that of any Establishment in the Kingdom, that every person may be supplied at any moment to them convenient, with a Style of Attire agreeable to their wisbes, displaying the first order of Materials and Workmanship, accompanied by a Fit superior to the Bespoke Goods which may be had elsewhere. The Hat and Cap Branch has exhibited an impetus in the progress of Business, which has rendered it the Crowning Emporium for all the subjects of our Mighty Empire. The Ladies' and Gentlemen's Hosiery Section, on which the great est care, industry, and experience has been employed, has been at tended with unprecedented encouragement; and the world-wide connection of E. Moses and Son have rendered it the Depot for every novelty through every season. _ During the - past year, a new field has been opened for enterprise and industry ; a source of wealth has been discovered which has superseded the calculations 01 the most sanguine, and has proved the revelations of truth more astonishing than fiction ; though Gene ral Outfitting has always been an important branch of E. Moses and Son's business, and has through a series of years been available for Emigrants to all parts of the world, yet the new requirements of a large port on of the population have been met in the most compre liensive manner by the Outfitting capabilities possessed at the Estab lishment of E. Moses and Son; their Wholesale business affording facilities of the most momentous order, and the unity of the largest stock of Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, &c., &e., ever known, have proved in the highest sense advantageous : their thorough and practical ac quaintance with the goods required for any voyage or climate, and by every class of Emigrants, Ladies or Gentlemen; their readiness to afford assistance, and gratuitously to give all necessary information to all intending Emigrants, has given a popularity to them as Out fitters, which has eclipsed all others; and that every convenienee might be possessed by Emigrants, they have kept a separate Depart ment for Outfitting, conveniently communicating with the other sec tions of their great commercial Emporium. Now entering upon the Empire of the year 1853, it is the intention of E. Moses and Son to give each branch of their daily increasing trade their minute, pract!cal, and undeviatin; attention that :their Establishment and its branches may continue the national deposi tories of novelty and fashion, the recherché of taste and skill ; the magazine of articles o f utility and comfort ; the assemblage of every order of Goods required at home or abroad ; that punctuality and attention to all commands and that quality and economy in every class of artieles may give them the opportunity, and the pleasure of extending the benefits of their great commercial facilities to all classes tbrougkout the kingdoms of the world. Indulging the warmest hopes of being able, as the year progresses, far to exceed their professions, and to help on the comfort of all who remain at Home. and all who Emigrate, E. Mons and Sox earnestly and cordially wish all their Friends and Patrons A HAPPY NEW CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with 'heir Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to hi many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY °TIME HOUSE IN Oa OUT OP LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 15G, and 157, Mlnories, 83 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

Aqua se liabla Espanol THE NEW ADMINISTRATION. (From the Times.) The symptoms announcing the concunencemem of a political millennium, in which party spirit is to fly from the earth, and genius, experience, in dustry, and patriotism are to be the sole qualifica tions for office, multiply upon , us. For once reality has fairly outrun reverie, and things which no political novelist—no satirist, appealing from the degenerate present to the imaginary future, or scarce less imaginary past—dared to anticipate, are at least for the present actual and tangible verities. We have got a Ministry which seems to command the approval and support of men of every class of opinion. Whigs, Radicals, and Con servative vie in the wish to do it honour. Its per sonnel is justly lauded as comprising within itself all that survives of our political notabilities of the last twenty or thirty years. Its principles com mand universal assent and support, and its leaders are hailed with applause usually reserved for men who have already consummated a glorious triumph. The only question suggested to our mind is, why was not all this done before— w hy h ave we been so long blundering on with Governments on sufferance and Governments insufferable, when we were pos sessed of statesmen entertaining the most sincere personal regard for each other and debarred from union by no serious obstacle of principle ? The very facility and success of the present combina tion makes us almost querulous against those who have left us so long floundering in a bog from which a momentary effort of theirs could have delivered us. The more evident it becomes that union and co-operation among Free-traders was easy, the more right have we to complain that that union was not sooner effected. The speeches of Sir James Graham, Lord John Russell, Lord Palmerston, Sir George Grey, and Mr. Baines will be read with pleasure, as evidence of the intentions of a Government which has as sumed office only for the sake of doing that large amount of requisite work which has been for years awaiting the advent of a strong Administration. There is no trace of old jealousies or animosities ; the same cordial spirit speaks out from Carlisle, from Morpeth, from Lo n d on , from Leeds, and from Tiverton. With every disposition to praise the speeches which we have alluded to, we must admit that Sir James Graham's was, as usual, by far the most entertaining, and also the most in structive. The ease, the heartiness, the versatility, with which this veteran statesman rallies his oppo nents, was only exceeded by the boldness with which he ventured before a large and very mixed audience to deal with the most popular fallacies of the day. It seems, according to Sir James Graham, that his only anxiety has been to prevent the speedy dissolution of the Ministry, and that if there has been any indirect dealing it has been with a view to continue Lord Derby in office. Lord Derby was dearer to Sir James Graham than to himself. That sagacious tactician saw that, till the financial scheme was disclosed, there was no certainty of permanentunbound ed confidence that the Budget would be the ruin of the minissturces Ministry, e , and havingschooled himself and his friends the most every temptin g opportunity which offered itself till that fatal d ec l ara ti on was to pass by once made. Sir James Graham avows his in tention of overthrowing Lord Derby, but he 'sought that object by means directly the contrary of those which the angry ex-premier imputes to him. His end was undoubtedly to get rid of Lord Derby, but this end he sought to attain not by his own strength, but by the mistakes and blunders of his adversary. Sir James Graham had taken the true measure of his man, and the result justified his patient sagacity. Sir James Graham has done good service by his sportive but masterly exposure of the Chartist delusion. On these occasions nothing escapes him. The state of the weather, the day of the month, the orthography of an address—all find their appropriate place, and tend to insure the success of the practised orator. Manhood suf frage is retorted upon the Chartists as a con trivance essentially illiberal. Paupers, excisemen, and militiamen are paraded as the prominent members of the new constituencies. The ballot is denounced on the new, but, as it seems, scarcely tenable ground, that it would be impossible to make secret voting compulsory, and therefore that a secret would be taken as equivalent to an adverse vote. Sir James Graham exposed with much force the folly of supposing that such institutions tend necessarily, or even probably, towards an increase of freedom or a wider recog nition of popular rights. France, Italy, and Germany are lessons not to be forgotten, and never so appropriately taught as by the lips of a candidate addressing a popular constituency. It is no inconsiderable proof of the progress of the age that large popular meetings are becoming daily more and more able to hear the truth with out offence. Formerly no parasite ever ap proached a tyrant with more subserviency than a popular leader did the m • ultitude he aspired to please. sNo misrepresentation was too gross, no sophistry 'too apparent, for the purposes of hust ings' popularity ; but times have mended even in electioneering, and it seems to have become more and more the practice to conciliate the people by telling them useful and practical truths rather than specious and artful falsehoods. Thus does the im proved education of the masses react upon our statesmen, and thus do juster views and sounder principles, ascending from below, exercise an influ ence on superior minds little conscious of their origin. Whether it was the renewed responsibility of office, his recent indisposition, or the silence of Mr. Rowelie, Lord Palmerston was not so am us i ng as usual. His narrative of the events of the session, though evidently conceived in a spirit l ess i n i m i ca l to the Derby Ministry than those of Lord John Russell and Sir James Graham, differs from them in no essential point. Lord Palmerston would have voted against the Budget, which he faintly commends, and has attained by its destruction to the possession of an office which, above all, he assures us he desires to hold. Ilis speech is in one respect in better taste than that of Lord John Russell, inasmuch as it contains, no apology for his change of position in the new Government-- no explanation of the causes which induced him tit forego a position he had so long occupied —no self applause for magnanimity or abnegtion. Every one must be sensible that Lord John Rltssell has acted the part of a good citizen and of a magnanimous states man in accepting office under Lord Aberdeen ; but it is equally clear that comments , on this sacrifice come with a better grace from an other lips than his own. Lord John Russell is of the only man in the Ministry who has been ob • ed to derogate a little from his former pretensions; ut he is the only i i one who has felt it necessary to call attention to the fact. We may observe of all these speakers that after the doubting and ambiguous declarations to which we have been used for the last year, during which to be and evasively e be a Minister of t i f h a a n n y a m n o a t n h s e p r o t k h e a t m m o r a e n d s was m g s e u n r i ou State, it is quite refreshing to see the open and straightforward manner in winch opinions are stated, difficulties admitted, and solutions pro posed. W e have, at least, got a Ministry with nothing to conceal and nothing to disavow, with no squires to trick and no farmers to mystify, which holds out no vague promises of impossible benefits, and which habitually appeals to the patriotism and THE BALLOT. (Front the Daily News.) With Sir James Graham at Carlisle, and Lord J. Russell in London, objecting to the Ballot, and Sir W. Molesworth and Sir A. Cockburn at Southwark and Southampton, declaring themselves as stoutly its supporters, the temptation to ven tilate a little the rationale of " open questions " is irresistible. They are ticklish thinas these same " open questions ' for any Ministry in which they are tolerated. Of course this is true only of questions of importance, and the settlement of which is urgently required. For it is only to such questions that one thinks of prefixing the epithet " open." There are of course innumerable ques tions on which the members of any and every Ministry must agree to differ ; but if they are of trifling moment, or if the public mind is not en gaged upon them at the time, they are abstractions that may be stowed into lumber garrets and out of-the-way pigeon holes. It is only of questions that vitally affect a largo and anxious public that it is of the slightest consequence whether colleagues in an Administration agree upon them or not. But when essential gain or loss to the public de pends upon whether some practical question is to be settled by the Legislature in the negative or the affirmative, it is a very ticklish matter for a Minis try to leave it what is technically termed an "open question ;" that is, to agree to take different sides on it in Parliamentary debate. The arrangement is at times inevitably_ Themareep_ecirs, opinion in which the balance of pro and con in the public mind is so near equipoise on certain ques tions, that it is impossible to man the numerous offices of executive government with competent officials all of one mind about them. There is, then, nothing left for it but toleration of open questions. The question of Catholic Emanci pation, for nearly thirty years at the beginning of the present century, was in this condition. And it is only necessary to revert to the history of the different Cabinets during that period, in order to be convinced how detrimental open ques tions are to a Government. Even when they do not lead to immediate dissolutions of Ministries, they are the source of incessant tracasseries and in trigues within, and of distrust and half-hearted support of adherents without.. The Roman Catho lic question enabled the Sidmouths, and Percivals, and Eldons of the first five-and-twenty years of the century to undermine, in the opinion of their Sove reign any of their colleagues again s t w h om th e y entertained a grudge, and the power was not spar ingly used. Again, according as the Ministry were suspected of leaning a little more or a little less to the Catholic claims, the affections of one or other half of their party grew cool, and its support less active. Besides, men were always prone to suspect that men who agreed to differ on so vital a question had no very nice or firm views of principle. Every way the Ministry suffered, by the promotion of in ternal cabals, by disunion in the party upon which they leant for support, by a general doubt of the honesty of their intentions. Lord Aberdeen and his colleagues may rest as sured that so long as the Ballot (or any other im portant question) remains an " open question" among them, the disastrous consequences we have just enumerated will hang over them. We do not blame them for making the ballot an open ques tion ; they could not in the existing circumstances of the case have acted otherwise ; they are not the less entitled to a fair trial at the hands of the public on their own merits, and to support against the Derby-Disraelites on account of the demerits of the latter. It is a sincerely friendly voice that warns them of the result of entertaining " open ques tions." " Open questions" are sores which the general strength of the body they affect requires should be healed up as soon as possible. It is now time to turn from the consideration of the effects of open questions upon a Ministry to their effects upon the solution of those questions themselves. There can be no doubt that ultimately the leaving of any question "open" among the members of a Ministry is a step that invariably precedes its solution in favour of the innovating side. The natural and necessary tendency of all Cabinets is to resist any innovation when proposed for the first time. That this resistance is so far abated as to allow a portion —even though a mino rity—of the Ministers in Parliament to support any proposed innovation, is a mark that it has made a progress in public opinion that deters Ministers from declaring themselves hostile to it as a body. This hesitation, this irresolution, is like the loosen ing of the particle s o f a d am as the water it is in tended to exclude rises. Once this loosing begins, it is only a question of how long the water will take to complete the disintegration that has been begun, and sweep away the dam before it. Every sincere and earnest advocate of the Ballot must, therefore, hail its admission to the list of " open questions " as an earnest that it will ulti- maiely lie carried. Making the Ballot an " open question," is an admission on the part of a Minis try three-fourths of whom and more are professed opponents of the Ballot, that resistance to secret voting is not a matter of life and death for the con stitution. It is an admission on their part that the arguments in favour of the Ballot are entitled to dispassionate consideration ; that possibly the advocates of the Ballot may be in the right. The supporters of vote by Ballot remain as unconvinced as ever of the justice of their opinion ;—its oppo nents have begun to waver and doubt whether it is really unjust "or inexpedient. Whenever earnest, intimate conviction comes to be opposed to scepti cism, the latter must give way in the long run. But legislative measures cannot be promoted but by active advocacy. The Ballot must be pushed by somebody ; it cannot work its way itself. Now upon whom does the duty of working an " open question" devolve. Not upon Ministers. Their relation to "open questions" is a relation of neu trality. When such questions are raised each Minister may take what side he pleases. But no part of a Ministry—not even a majority—is en titled to originate a measure for settling the ques tion. That would be throwing the weight of Government countenance and influence into one or other scale, after agreeing to abstain from doing so. It is by the non-official supporters of the Ballot in Parliament or out of doors, that the initiative must be taken as long as it continues an open question. They may rest assured that it will form no part of any Ministerial Reform Bill ; they must he prepared to move or have it moved as an addition—or " rider," to any Ministerial Reform Bill that may be brought forward. They must be on the alert, that the neutrality professed by Ministers on this question is strictly and faithfully observed. It is not enough that the anti-Ballot Ministers allow their colleagues to vote against them—they must abstain from all canvassing of constituencies that may bring a hostile pressure to bear on those who have already made up their minds to vote for the Ballot, or are hesitating on the verge of conversion. With fair play to public opinion, the number of supporters of the Ballot in the Ministry may soon be increased. Sir A. Cockburn at Southampton reck oned up only four who are committed to, or sincere in their advocacy of, it. But others are announcing themselves open to conviction. Sir James Graham's only reason for opposing the Ballot is that he is not convinced it would have the effects ascribed to it. Once Sir James was not convinced that the corn law should be totally abolished, but as soon as con viction flashed upon him he aided in bringing about its repeal. The time is coining when he will be convinced of the expediency of vote by Ballot also. The truth is, that the members of the Reform Bill Cabinet of 1830 have not always been opposed to the Ballot. Lord John Russell has told us that the Ballot was a proviso in one of the first drafts of the Reform Bill. Such of our present Ministers as were members of the Reform Bill Ministry may change on this subject, as they have changed once already ; they may return to their first love. It is for the sincere and earnest advocates of the Ballot, at this favourable crisis to be on the alert, to turn to the best account every favourable moment and circumstance. FEMALE EMIGRATION. ( From the Morning Chronicle.) It is now more than three years ago that Mr. Sid ney Herbert originated the fund for promoting female emigration. The letters of our special cor respondent had revealed the enormous amount of misery and vice to which the London needlewomen were exposed, and the institution of that fund was among the earliest resultsof the disclosures referred to. More than a thousand young women of good character have already been sent to Australia at the expense of this charity. On more than one occa sion we have called the attention of the public to the benefits conferred on these emigrant girls ; and very interesting letters from some of them were published in our last Saturday's impression. They have exchanged penury and imminent ruin in the garrets of east London for the open plains of Adelaide, and the sunny slopes of Sydney. We hear of one of them drawing the great matrimonial prize of a hus band with 2,000/. a year ; and though we cannot hold out such tempting lures to all emigrating maidens, it is something to know that they may reasonably expect honest and well-conducted husbands, good houses, and abundance of the necessaries of life. The committee of the fund state, however, that their resources are now nearly exhausted ; and at the present rates of freight, they will not be able to procure passages for many more emigrants. On examining the society's balance-sheet, we find that the girls have been hitherto sent out at a cost of about 181. per head—a small sum for a philanthro pist to invest in securing an honest English mother to a colony—, small sum for a religious person to give for the sake of saving a Christian soul from the fearful temptations of ill-requited toil and grinding misery. We do not mean to say that every girl has turned out well, or that all the emigrant ships have been under equally good discipline. All attempts at charity, however judiciously devised and ably executed, have their exceptional cases. But, as a whole, the Female Emigration Fund has had complete success. The longer it works, the better it works ; and we most earnestly hope that the appeal which is now being urged for its conti nuance and expansion w ill e immediately and warmly responded to. There are two points of view under which this subject presents itself—the amount of good con ferred on the girls themselves, and on the class to which they belong, as emigrants, and the benefits which they offer to the colony as immigrants. So far as our appeal is concerned, we may pass rapidly over the latter considerationf Thlneinale Emigra tion Fund not 'only promotos an*ject of general social utility, but it gives the mother country an opportunity of retrieving some of the wrongs which she has inflicted on her penal colonies. It is one of the first duties of the State to secure, both at home and in its dep en d enc i es a respectable state of public morals ; and our charity cannot be better employed than in furthering the domestic happi ness and well being of our expatriated brethren. A country's strength is in its hearths—the fireside virtues are the secret of a nation's social integrity —the security of the state is in the family. We have sent enough of female corruption to the shores of Australia—the present fund presents an oppor tunity for patriotism and charity to redress the in jury perpetrated by the State. It is a debt we owe to our colonies to offer them the corrective of an honest and unpolluted female population. In sending pure wives and mothers to Australia, we are cementing its attachment to the English Crown and Government ; and the marvellous prosperity of our southern dependencies, and the immense in ducements which they hold out to respectable wo men, seem to be providentially designed, among other purposes, for relieving us from the dangerous and unnatural excess of unemployed female industry which exists at home. But our immediate concern is with our own so cial duties here in England. We rejoice, indeed, if by any means we can exercise a beneficial influ ence over the future of the Australian continent. It is something that, in every respectable and well-conducted girl whom we land at Sydney or Adelaide, we are casting a good grain in that mighty seed plot of nations, and providing for the perpetuation of English blood and English vir tues and manners. But, as regards ourselves, we have personal responsibilities and duties towards our poor, hard-worked, and much-tempted shirt sewers and waistcoat-makers. Their wages have not risen--at least not in proportion to their needs; and their moral perils certainly have not decreased. Even on the lowest ground of expediency, it is our interest to get rid of a su p era b undance of unem ployed females—a derangement of the social equi librium which holds out a powerful encouragement to prostitution. To promote the emi g ration of yet uncorrupted girls is econo m i ca ll y , as well as morally, a social duty ; for it strikes at the root of vices which are no less expensive to the community than they are destructive to the individual. All non productive classes are dangerous to the State ; and never is the danger more formidabl e th an w h en it presents itself in the shape of an unemployed excess of female population. These are considerations which address themselves to the patriot and the economist. Need we say what higher motives appeal to philanthropy and Christian duty on behalf of these forlorn and ne ,glected girls ? Not long since, in urging the claims of the Church Penitentiary, we dwelt on the necessity and duty of providing a remedy for female profligacy. But if, politically as well as religiously, prevention is better than cure, it is as much a Christian obligation to forestall sin as to provide its victims with a home. In the Emigration Fund we have a scheme which is working well—which is rescuing the weak from temptation, and the poor from penury. Shall its work of mercy bo per mitted to languish or expire ? We trust not. Prosperous times like these bring with them new and peculiar responsibilities ; and it must not be forgotten that, while destitution has been alleviated among the class for whom we plead, the cost of emigration has risen very largely. If it is more difficult than ever for an honest girl to emigrate, the greater i s th e c h ar it y o f ass i st i ng her to ex change—like those whose letters we published on Saturday—the fetid food of the stalls of Whiteeha pel for " the grapes and peaches of Perth," and the hovels of Stepney for the land which seems almost to reverse the Scriptural curse ; " for there is no poor people here, everybody is doing w e ll," as "M. J." as sures her 6 dear father and mother." Even widows have a second chance, or rather a cer tainty, in that paradise of women—witness the humble-minded "J. H.," now "J. W." The Australian Coelebs at present cannot think of searching for a wife—it is the female emigrants who are the choosers ; and if any decent girl remains six months without her " stone house and lawn" at William's Town or Swan River, it will only be from embarrassment in selecting among her suitors. Never was there a charitable enterprise which more forcibly commended itself alike to the feelings of the Christian philanthropist and the judgment of the social reformer than the Female Emigration Fund ; and we earnestly trust that a great and beneficial work, which has thus far so completely justified the expectations of its promoters will not be suffered to droop and languish for want of ade quate support. THE FRENCH EMPEROR. ( From the Times. ) The customary receptions upon the recurrence of the new year have been held by the Emperor of the French in the Palace of the Tuileries, which has been redecorated with unexampled splendour. The richest furniture of the Garde Meuble has been brought once more to light. Whatever bore 1 the stamp of the easy and unassuming household of the Citizen King of past days is discarded as unworthy of his magnificent successor ; and the Royal abode in which, five years since, a gang of armed marauders established themselves, amidst the ruins of a princely family and all the touching associations of domestic life, has passed through a fresh course of gilding to fit it for the pomps and vanities of another Empire. The scenery of that great playhouse of the State is shifted, it seems, as rapidly as the exits and the entrances of its performers require. Some there are, no doubt, amon g that laced and feathered throng of c our ti ers who adhere to the place with unalterable fidelity, and recognise in all the changes it has been their lot to witness no certain rule of conduct but their town interest. Yet, even among the names which have just been added to the French Senate there are few, if any, that can be counted either a s a loss or as an acquisition by any party. M. de la Rochejacquelein and M. de Pastoret were alr ea d y known to have fallen off from the cau se to Which i their names once belonged ; and the relations anio of M. de Flahault with the family have long been matter of notoriety,ispri Imperial tiOns Valliant even the household of the Emperor But composed of his old boon comp ne ip all y these great officers the exception of Marshal ns, and, with spectable General of Artillery, of State have neither niilitar nor it society. p.er w so h n o al is dis a tin re ci tion in their respective rank,3;.i The accustomed reception took place, then, at the Tuileries, and the eorps Diplomatique, headed on the preeed. who had presented his cre dentialsby the Papal Nuncio, greeting on the new yelairigwditalyi , th e ie xc ru ha l u er ge o d f F a ra ra n p c i e d .

Moseley, the vicar of Rother - ham, on a late occasion spoke from the pulpit in con • demnatory strains of the annual ball about to be give n at that place, and went so far as to read out the name s of the patrons of the ball as objects of public reproba tion. The matter was represented to the Archbishop of York, who disapproved of the proceeding, and the Doncaster Gazette inform us that " Mr. Moseley has judiciously adopted the recommendation of his primate by candidly avowing that it was an error of judgment in reading the names of the patrons. But at the same time he solemnly declares that no change has taken place in his opinion on the inconsistency of such amuse ments with a spiritual and Christian life. As we have no wish to protract discussion on this painful subject, we are heartily glad that the good sense of the vicar,'.. through the intervention of the archbishop, ultimately ' prevailed, and that he has withdrawn the offensive part part of his declamation. At a meeting of the ball 'com mittee, held on Wednesday evening, and after the vicar's letter had been read, it was unanimously resolved,— ' That he be informeg the ball committee accept his apology, relying upon the admonition which he has received from the Archbishop of York having the de-. sired effect of preventing him from using the pulpit of our parish church on any future occasion in such an im proper manner.' " tHE CONVICT CHRISTIE. —This wretched man left Edinburgh for Aberdeen on Friday evening, in charge of Mr. Kempster and two other officers. He seemed quite at ease, it appears, during the journey, and talked freely of the crime for which he had been condemned. In fact, he made a complete confession of the twofold murder, alleging, however, that he had no intention when he en tered the cottage of committing the atrocious crimes. He stated that his object in visiting Mrs. Ross was to obtain a sack and a pitcher he had left in her house some time before, which the widow refused to give up, as he owed her some money. Exasperated at her refusal, and being the worse for liquor, he said that he seized a stone which he found in the house, and struck her with it on the head, when she fell heavily on the floor. Upon this, her little grandson, escaping from the bed, held him by the legs, ex c l a i m i ng —" W hat are you doing to Granny: when the hardened ruffian (as he himself avowed) split w th h e ie c h hi h ld e ' haiing us e d an axe at all in the commission of the s ha s d kul ki l lle b d y h on is e gr bl a o n w dm o o f th t e h r e . sa c m h e ris s t t i 7 e de wi nie t d h mur ders ; and see i ng t h e stone covered with hair and blood, he stated he cast it into the fire, to obliterate all trace of ILlTmoboteenatl.so, Christieadding the cruel deed.
