In the event of a desire to surrender Li , Policy he can receive In this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, TR/mu times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his carrent fly mcnts fo r any number of years; whereas en the ordinary system, getste nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease n amount of his policy, be can co so at pleasure. He can at any time, b y giving he giving a fortnieht's notice, withdraw any part from I/ up to the has amount of his previous pa, mania and with interest. After oas withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three Lars, or any time a fterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even toil former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate Ills annual savi nls by hi s annua l ex penditure, with the facility in the bargain of having a fund to fly to in case of nec - s , ity, the same as in a bank, with this palpable advantage, howeVer, that lie gets Inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive more 'llan the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices I e can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is canceled the moment _e ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any n L ind to ny to for aid, all his hail-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and Isis misfortunes servo to benefit the pockets of his or efortunaie co-assurers. ___Si_neh a system i s too equitable and too str i k i ng to b e over l oo k e d arnDetvosir assurance is the only system of assurance which can be I „,', r sallY recognised and a d op t e d w h en th e p r inciples are impar iLlY canvassed, and its valpable benefits become widely diffused.

The North of Spain Railwag is about 685-kilometres, or 427 miles long, ine'uding .he branch to the port of Bilboa. The pr, je , tors have already obtained the concession for 99 years, of the Sp.mish portion. which traverses a distance of 650 ki ometres, or 406 miles. They have paid 750,000 piastres (157,0001.), the caution money, and they are in actual treaty with the French Government for the section from Bayonne to the sp.tnish frontier ; the length of which is only 35 kilometres ' or 21 miles. The Spanish Government guarantees to the Company, en a maxi mum capital of 30, 1 300,000 piastres (6,315,7890, a min mum interekt of 7 per cent.. inc'uding 1 per cent. to be applied to a sinking fund. The provinces and comp tines traversed by this railway, as well as the contigtious„provinces and communes, have agreed to share with the • overnment the responsibility of this guarantee. The Spanish Government, perceiving the great advantaze which must result to the public revenue by the encouragement of railways, which oevelop the vallous sources of national wealth, have faithfu ly adhered to the guarantees they have given ; and even in cases where companies have not been able to perform their engagements, the Government has returned to such companies, whither native or foreign, the entire sums paid as cautonary deposit. In order to secure to the shareholders in the North of Spain Rail way the fill value of the guarantee of 6 per cent., and 1 per cent. sinking fund. a general contract has been already made for the pur chase of the land, the construction of the whole line, and for rolling sto_k, plant, &c., according to the requirements of the Government, at a price witlMl the guaranteed caiital. The contractor has dc po sited 500,000 piastres or 105,qe31., as a guarantee for the due fulfil ment of the contract, and is to leave 5 per:cent. out of each certiflc to in the hands of the directors as a further security, until such reserves shall amount to the sum deposited. The contract price cove's all expenses incurred in surveys and otherwise up to the present time, and leaves a fund of about 10 per cent. of the capital in the hands of the directors, to meet the general expenses of the undertaking, and to pay interest at the late of 5 per cent. per annum to the shareholders during the course of construc tion. The North of Spain RaUway connects Madrid with several provin cial chief towns, torming points of convergence of various high rods, such as Witor"a, where •even me •t. Burgos, Valladolid, and Avila, are also the et litres of similar stratms of traffic. _ _ _ The Eouthof ainßailway• traverses most important industrial districts, such as the provinces of Bhcay, Guipuzcoa, and Alava. It runs also through districts rich in wools, wines', and corn—districts producing much more than they cm either consume, or at pnsciit, export ; ani which, to galn access to the home and foreign markeis, need only those ,acilitits of economical trawpoit which this railway w:1! provide. The No th of Spain Railway wid establish a thorough communi cation b tween the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Starting from Bayonne and tiiboa it will proce: d through Irun, St. Sebastian, To osa, and Vitoria to Miranda At Miranda it reaches the river Ebr , , which is now being canalised doe n to the port of Alfaques, °lithe shores of the meriderrancan. At Madrid also it will be placed in communication with the great line of railway now in coat se cf constrin-toa betwet n the capital and Valencia. Another very important feature of this great undertaking is that at Valladolid it will reach the river Douro, which runs to Opo• to ; and lastly, at Madrid, it wilt be brought into connexion with the Aratjuez Railway, which wilt be confirmed first to Badajoz to meet the Portuguese line to Lisbon, mat to Cordova, and thence to Seville and Cadiz. To estimate the advantages which such data promise to the North of Spain Railway, the distinction Ntween spanish, English, and French railways must be kept In view. First,—The cost of construction is greater in England or France, because land is of a higher value than in Spain. Labour is much dearer in En , ;land and in France than in Spain. Rails a'so and engines bear in France a pike somewhat e xtravagantly high, in consequence of the protection given to home industry, wht st into Spain they are imported from England free of duty.. Seconclq , —The return from railways in England or France are of much slower development than in Spain, because in the former countries railweat s have to compete with already existing and long established means of conveyance, whilst in Spain railways, from the moment of their opening, absorb the whole of the tragic. The returns are less profitable in England and France than in Spa; n, because they can be secured only by incessant reductions upon the tariffs of the numerous competing means of transport; whist in Spain the tniffs will, to a certainty, be largely remune rative, since they can reasonably he fixed at 50, 100, and even 200 per cent. above the Eugl sh ant French tariffs, and still remain much cheaper than the old means of transport, and be accordingly appreciated. These distinctions are well foundeJ, and have received cotifitma, tlon from the results of all the existing railways in Spain; hence the Railway Company from Valencia to Alcira has teen compelled, after a few months' traffic, to double the rolling stock, which bad been estimated sufficient for sevtral years. Upon the line from Langrco, in the Asturias, the exorbitant tariff of 21 centimes per kilometre and per ton sufficed to put down all competing means of transporting the coal of the basin or s , ama to the port of Gij:m ; and, lastly, the ;ine from Madrid to Aranjuez, only 61 kilometres kng, and which runs to no centre of production or commerce, had in 18.52, the first year of its working, a traffic of 300,000 passengers, and 110,000 tons of merc andise. 'the estimat , .s of the receipts to be exrected from this line have been framed under the special superintendence of the provincial, consular, and municipal corporations of Biscay, end establish upon the existing traffic an immediate return of 5,1,0,000 Oast , es, or 1,08 ,210/., which, after deducting 45 rer cent. for won ing ex ',miser, leaves a net profit upon the capital of the Company of 10 per cent. This estimate, however, is wholly irrespective of the in crease which impr ived means of transport invariably ensures. The Board of Direction will be nominated in the statutes of the C mpany, and will consist of eight Spael., , h, four French, and three English Directors. Three French Directors have been appointed, viz.:— M. Ardonin, banter, Paris, M. De Grimaldi, Paris, and M De Ez,eleta, Ellis and Bordeaux.

On Tuesday night, Mr. Fitzroy gave notice of a Bill for the better regulation of Hackney Carriages in the metropolis. The evils, however, connected with the ordinary and cheaper carriages plying for hire in and about cities, are not confined to Lon don. Wherever the thing is, its abuse co-exists. Fiacre, cabriolet, droschsky, vigilante—or what ever else it may be called—it invariably brings with it, in every city of the world, oaths, swindling, abase, extortion, violence, fraud, injustice, and lli s n tr g an b g e e so most of the othe r ev il s of Pandora's box. hat is true of the cab is, t o a considerable extent, true of the omnibus ; and th e l aw of rapine which rules over terrestial locomoti on governs the river no less subject cial rthbaennomtheennnro?adsivtebayd. shouldWh travelling Why this v e to this fate ? Why should the wayfaring man, on sea or on shore, in street or in harbour, be reck oned a legitimate prey to cabmen, boatmen, and porters, .as caravans are to the Bedouins ? How comes it that our highly civilised state of society has not yet, in this matter, emerged from barba rism ? And how is it that this social vice espe cially infests travelling ? • What is the subtle con nexion between hiring the means of transit and being, ex necessitate rei, robbedY,What is - there which makes, a journey and cheatin inseparable ? . How is it that society resigns its ; •almost without a stitggle, to the caprice and t nny of that com pound of beer and. blasphemy, extortion and - • obscenity--the true British cabman. ___ We are e well aware that this is no new thing. Long before the Spectator's time, the slang and swinling of the rider were notorious. We do not deny that the Cadiz and Neapolitan boatman, or the Venetian gondoliers, will outswindle and out swear their brethren at Dover or Gravesend. But the antiquarian inveteracy or the oecumenical ex tent of a nuisance ought to be a reason for resist ance rather than for patience. It is not so, how ever, in England. All that is needed to conse crate an abuse among us is its largeness—its daily occurrence—its universal impact. We are despe rately active about securing the purity of articles that are consumed by one person in a million ' • but to pestiferous air and pois one d wa t er , w e, i n Lon don at least, submit with very inarticulate mur murs. A nation is convulsed if a foreign ecclesi astic calls himself Bishop of this place, or Arch bishop of that ; but the millions who inhabit this great city passively permit their health to be in jured, and their property to be destroyed, to the value of thousands of pounds per day, only because it is nobody's business to enforce the Smoke Con suming Act. So it is with cabs. Everybody is a rider in cabs, and everybody feels that the cab driver is the na tural enemy of the whole human race. He is a sort of Fate. Nobody hires a cab but with the certainty of being cheated. The evil haunts every family, and infests the daily necessities of life. Wherever we ride—to church or theatre, to .wed ding or funeral, to a meeting of creditors or to a ball—one dark pall of misery, one grim anticipa tion of robbery, hangs over the journey. London streets are as Finchley-common and as Hounslow heath—Stand and deliver is the rule of the road. The moment the door is shut on the pensive travel ler, he begins settling whether he shall play the fool or the hero—whether he shall sacrifice his money or his peace. His only choice lies between being swindled and savagely abused. Sometimes, as in the case of women, the hirers gets both bullied awl cheated. And all this, we must say, is mainly our own fault. Vicious customs, and our own criminal weakness, have made the cab driver the savage and robber that he is. Such has ever been the history of a social evil, until it got to be so monstrous that society avenged itself by a revolution. Fees to ser vants grew into a tax, and into so monstrous a one ' that either society itself or the nuisance had to be abated—either vails or visiting must cease. It is with cabs as it was with the extinct tyranny of flunkies. The evil has reached its zenith. A necessary of London life is turned into a curse. All the middle classes are interested in Mr. Fitzroy's proposition and it will be our own fault if we sub mit any longer to the co n ti nuance o f th e Lab nuis ance. When, some twenty or five-and-twenty years ago, cabs became the regular form of hackney carriages, their fares were apportioned to their cost. Now that every other necessary of life has fallen more than one-fourth in value, there is no reason why • cabs should maintain charges which were ample enough a qua r t er o f a cen t ur y ago . Six pence a mile in 1853 i s more th an e i g htp enc o a mile was in 1830, considering the difference in the price of horse-flesh, hOrse-keep, and carriages. Nor must the active competition of the omnibuses be forgotten in settling a new tariff for ha ckney-car riage hire. Free trade must penetrate into the cabowner's yard, as well as into the farmer's. We see no cause why the undue profits which we deny to the grower of corn, the breeder of horses, and the carriage builder, should be intercepted from the public savings in order to increase the consumption of beer, 'backey, and blackguardism at the public house adjoining the cab-stand. For we must not forget that the cab nuisance is an offence against public morality, as well as an engine of grinding extortion. If cabowners could be taught common sense, they would see that it is their interest to prevent the overcharges and savagery of their representatives, the drivers. Cabs, if clean, and driven by men who are neither extortioners nor reprobates, might double their earnings. As it is, people are often driven to a sweltering omnibus or a fatiguing walk, in sheer despair of receiving civility or honesty in cabs. And the unprotected middle-rank women— all ladies, in fact, below the rank of " carriage folks"--are driven to choose between staying at home and a ruinous " clarence for the day." The remedies, we maintain, are, if not easy, at least at tainable ;_ but we must begin with asce r taini ng th e causes of the unpopularity of cabs. These are, first, the eightpenny fares, and next, the system of sub-letting. From the days of revenue-farming to those of Irish encumbered landlordism, middlemen have been a curse to the public. The fares may be easily settled ; but the sub-letting can only be kept in check by a most resolute co-operation on the part of the public, together with new and strin gent regulations against extortion. We aro per fectly aware that solitary attempts to remedy the evil have failed—the drivers have combined alike against the sixpenny cabs and against the me chanical devices for measuring distances. judg ing from our own experience, we should say that the most available reform would be to cheapen and facilitate complaints against the drivers. Who can afford the time, the temper, and the strength re quisite to complete a successful complaint against a cabman, in face of the misery and delay inseparable from a visit to a police-court? But why not try cheap and summary justice ? An es pecial court for offences against the Hackney Car riage Act, with the power of levying higher penal ties than those at present imposed, may be worth thinking of. Again, let there be a remedy against the owner as well as against the driver. An owner whose drivers arc " unfortunate" enough to be frequently " had up " might be made per sonally responsible ; and his license as well as the driver's, might be suspended. As prevention, however, is better than cure, we should do well to provide facilities for ob viatingt extortion which either do not .l t le pres i e ih n e exist, or are only very partially available. differently arranged from any and d es w m ili ig c tt Commissioners might publish ta v b i l u es m o o t*: w f l a ii r c e i s l would be of great local utility, n t find . a large public sale. These tables would find separate series, d• For example distances from every authorised stan so that there might be one marking the Charing-cross or the Farr in nces in every direc tion register at least 500 dia ,gdon -street series of tl the ; and thus, as is found in the case railway s tations, a groat approximation to ascertaining A hirer di s t an ce travelled would be secured. And this re minds us of the secret cause of the disinclination of the public to vindicate their own rights. feels pretty confident that he is cheated ; but, b e i ng really ignorant of the distance—say between Dal ston-lane and Bloomsbury-square —he generally pays double, simply because he cannot extemporise anything better than the merest guess at the real fare. And then his doubts prevent him from tak ing out a summons. Why should there not be an office especially dedicated to inquiries, where, for the fee of a penny, the victim may ascertain the legal fare ? • In a very short time, almost every conceivable distance could be registered within threepence ; and with a court specifically consti tuted for adjudicating on cab offences, one tenth of the p resent difficulty and decided a t th e cos t of and acomplaint might be presentedannoyance. Anyhow, it is the plain duty of the Legislature to interfere. Means of cheap, „speedy, and decently comfortable locomotion are as necessary to the ac tive, economical, and sanitary working of our social system, as is a fair supply of water and "gas. The State charges itself with the duty of compelling at tention to public morality and safety. ; and mora lity, comfort, business, and health are alike inter fered with by the present condition of the hackney carriage trade. The existing law has failed, and it RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

Among the causes of the Reformation in this country, none was more powerful than the indig nation of a high-spirited nation at the practice of what were termed Appeals to Rome, which in voked the jurisdiction of a foreign Court to decide questions of sacred and vital interest to the welfare of a free and independent community. Among the blessings of the Reformation none is to this day more earnestly cherished than the proud conscious ness that we are in spiritual as well as in temporal concerns a self-governed people, and, that our insti tutions in Church and State recognise no authority which is alien to the British nation. But though mere than three centuries have elapsed since the Statute of Appeals of Henry VIII. released us for ever from that bondage into which the people of England will fall no more, yet to this hour we may see on the other side of the Channel this power asserted, this jurisdiction exercised, these man dates obeyed, to an extent which is absolutely incredible among a people like that of France. We revert to the subject because it-illustrates in a very striking manner the constant policy of Rome whenever it finds a country plunged in such a state of torpor as to offer no resistance to its claims, and the Apostolical Letter of the Pope, addressed to the Cardinals and other prelates of France, is certainly an extraordinary example of what the nation- may be led under certain circumstances to endure. The controversy which led to this interposition of the authority of the See of Rome was kindled by the intemperate zeal of the writers in a Roman Ca tholic periodical called l' Univers. These gentlemen, who were for the most part laymen, assumed in the name of the highest Ultramontane doctrines a spe cies of censorship over the bishops and clergy of ► France. They attacked the moderate party in that Church with extreme virulence on all occasions, they •! professed absolute intolerance, and boldly claimed un mitigated domination. On the fertile subject of edu cation, confined, of course, to sacerdotal hands, they supportedthe proposition of a certain Abbe Gaume, who has entered the lists against all classical studies, maintaining that the early Greek and Latin Fathers were the best authorities that could befollowed in the study of antiquity. The influence acquired by this paper is such that it attacked and supplanted the authority of the bishops in their dioceses ; and the Archbishop of Paris at last resolved to try hi s strength against it by prohibiting his clergy and their flocks from contributing to or reading a Jour nal of a character so hostile to his own influence. From this decision M. Louis Veuillot, the principel editor, appealed in person to Rome. In less than a month he obtained all he wanted, for it was not difficult to convince the Pope that the expressions complained of by the French prelates were, in fact, marks of homage to his own superior authority, and, accordingly, the Letter Apostolical, which we publish elsewhere, has appeared in M. V eu ill o t' s favour. The Archbishop of Paris at once confesses himself entirely vanquished, and withdraws the in terdict he had placed on these publications in his diocese ; and the editor of the Univers, who is a sort of Mr. Lucas in his way, triumphs in the name of the Church over the metropolitan, and in the name of the Vatican over Notre Dame. The Pope commences this singular effusion by an elaborate panegyric on the French clergy, and lie may boast, with some reason, that it is long since any branch of the Romish Church has been more absolute in its pretensions at home, or more entirely subject to the arbitrary will of Rome. He congratulates the clergy of France on the restora tion of their provincial councils, on the introduc tion of the Romish liturgy in several dioceses where it had never been used, and especially on the signal devotion to Mother Church of "our very dear son in Jesus Christ, Napoleon, Emperor of the French, by whose care the Church enjoys entire peace, tranquillity, and real protection." Whatever may be the value of this devout protec tion, we may judge of the peace and tranquillity of the Church in France by the fact that this very mandate has been called forth by a dispute of uncommon violence, and that the imme diate consequence of it is not merely to condemn but to humiliate the Archbishop of Paris in the exercise of his legitimate pastoral authority. The protecting care of Louis Napoleon would have been far more effectually dis played towards the Church if his Government had refused, according to the undoubted maxims of the French law, to allow such a brief to have any vali dity or authority in the Empire, and had deter mined to repudiate the claims of the Papacy to in terfere in a question of national and ecclesiastical policy. For the Pope's letter does not stop here. It proceeds to lay down express directions for the guidance of the clergy on the great question of edu cation, and it so far adopts the propositions of M. Gaume that it recommends the study of " the ex cellent works of the holy Fathers and of the most celebrated heathen writers, after they have been care fully expurgated." But thel principal object of the letter is to recommend to the especial predilection of the French bishops those identical writers who have devoted their lives to the defence of the rights of the holy See, the same being the very men whom several of these bishops had just condemned. "Fi delity to the holy See, and most perfect obedience to all that it teaches, establishes, and decrees," is the one quality which includes all the other Chris tian virtues, and it is not wonderful if, tried by such a test, M. Veuillot and his colleagues far out weigh the testimony of prelates who have not yet wholly forgotten what is due to the episcopate and the Church of their country. Pius IX. is a revolutionary Pontiff. His reign will be remembered hereafter as that of a Pope in whom the idea of established legal rights and tra ditions never weighed for an instant against the impulses of his own arbitrary authority ; for no Pope was ever so deficient in the first quality of the Roman See—its surpassing caution. But whether lie lets loose Cicerovacchio and the mob of Rome, or affects to abolish by a decree the ancient hierarchy of the Church of England, or treats the prelates of France as if they were the mere creatures of his power, Pius IX. manifests the same utter unconsciousness of the elements he has to deal with. Within the last few days it is said that he has definitively refused to crown Louis Napoleon, though even if that act had depended on his own will he would probably have performed it, with an utter disregard of the rights attached to the French Crown and the violated liberties of the nation. But he follows up this refusal, which is in itself not very flattering to a Ruler whose army is at this moment in possession of the Papal dominions, by a manifesto such as no previous Government of France has endured. It asserts in the most absolute terms the entire inde pendence of the Church in France on the unlimited authority of Rome. It purposely limits every allusion to the laws and liberties of that Church, and to the treaty which binds it to the State. It condemns in terms a book recently published in defence of the Gallic= doctrines based on the common law of the nation ; and it lavishes a.dui a,- lation on the Government on the ground that it has sacrificed the independence of the Church. These Ultramontane opinions, these arrogant pretensions of a foreign and irresponsible Court, are no es sential part of the Roman Catholic religion. On the contrary, they have -been successfnll f y tirlet sisted by the most illustrious members of Church, and they have not been . . a . sser o byio wisest of its Pontiffs. This spiritua . l despotism, d. which threatens to enfold the world in me iaTval obscurity, and to realise that idea o_f . one uniform tyranny over the mind of man which even th e Middle Ages did not achieve, may accord for a time and subjecti on p with the strange political apathy into which the greatest nations of Europe have f a ll en . But the Church of Rome never committed a snore signal error than that of allying itself to such Powers as these ; and even in the present state of the world, when every other form of oppo sition is'susp en d e d , we are much mistaken if the ancient rights of the Galilean. Church will be sacri ficed and abandoned without a defender. Exoriare aliquis ! Even the present French Govermnent can scarcely think that it is interested in abetting the subversion of the only party in the Church upon which it can rely on national grounds ; and the publication of such a mandate is in itself a vio lation of the right hitherto exercised by the State to sanction and control all the communications addressed by the See of Rome to its subjects.

SAMUEL LA"i4III.T,ii,RkIWORD-SiillAßE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matric dated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. VIAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregu slinks and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there arc in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various terms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be remove !, and how the evil and its con equences may be avoided, and above all. that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Fhyslclan who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils; from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, ho has been ampb rev arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serloes jury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

Onesippo Aguado, shareholders in the Constitutionnel, against M. Veron and M. Mires, for the purpose of having the sale of that journal made by the former to the latter declared null, and of an action brought by M. Adamole and M. Foucalt, also shareholders, against M. Veron alone, for the purpose of obtaining a division among all the share holders of 1,900,000 f., the total sum paid by M. Mires, in stead of 720,000 f., which alone bad been divided among them. To both these actions M. Veron raised the prelimi nary objection that the Tribunal had no jurisdiction, but that they ought to be sent before arbitrators. M. Paillet appeared for M. Veron. He commenced by saying that M. Veron ardently desired that the case should be publicly heard, but that the nature of it, and regard for the interests of others, required him to demand that it should be sent before arbitrators, and be gone into with closed doors. He then proceeded to describe the situation of the Constitutionnel. That journal, he said, was in 1844 purchased by M. Veron and 14 other persons for 432,500 f., and they formed a new company for carrying it on. The number of shgres was fixed at 180, and the value of each at 3,000 f. The shares were divided among the persons in pro portion to their interest in the old company. M. Veron was appointed sole manager (gerant) and absolute master of the journal. He alone had power to trace the political lino it should follow, to choose the personnel, and to modify the form and price. The further power was given to him of making over any portion of his authority to any shareholder he might select. But, on the other; hand, he was, in certain eases, renderederesponsible for 200,030 f., and was to be e holder of at least 13 shares. rassdi - o.4rsto Aho amount of To cover these losses, M. V (iron was entitled to take half the profits, and when there were no losses his share in the profits was to be one-third. A committee of 7 sharehold ers was to watch over the interests of the journal, and the by-laws enacted that general assemblies of the shareholders should be invested with the power of making decisions which should be binding on all the other shareholders, though absent ; also, that any dispute which might arise with respect to the company, or to the liquidation of it, should be judged by three arbitrators nominated by the ' parties, or, in default of their doing so in a week, by the Tribunal of Commerce. The Constitutionnel, thus consti tuted, had different vicissitudes of fortune. In 1847 there was a loss of 290,000 f., and M. - Wren took it on himself. He might then, by the statutes, have resigned the man agement, but he did not do so ; and before 1850 he had re covered the loss. From 1850 to 1852 his position became further removed. On the 31st of January, 1852, the Com mittee of Surveillance, in their report to the shareholders, stated that they were greatly indebted to him for his ser vices, and that his accounts were admirably kept. In 1847 M. Veron sold M. de Moray, for 100,000 f., the half of his part in the management of the journal, and this fact was of importance in the events which followed. In 1852 the fortune of the Constitutionnel changed ; the paper had to submit to severe financial and political trials. The Moni teur reduced its price from 120 f. to 40f. a year , and this formed a disastrous competiti on for the Constitutionnel, both financially and politically. And this was not all ; the Pays, which was on the same side in politics, also reduced its price to 401. To these causes of ruin another was added. The Constitutionnel published an article on Bel gium, which created a profound sensation in the diplo matic circles and among the public. Called on for ex planations, it stated that it had derived its inspiration from the highest sources. The new legislation on the press armed the Government with immense power over the jour nals, and in virtue of it a " warning" .was given to the Constitutionnel. It persisted in its statement, and a second o th ol at h i u t n m g ig o h o t a h t a h v r e e b a e d e , n a s s ai i d t moment, not y the t ‘ ' v h ‘ a w a s t a l r the b i n l e a g i n s w t e a b n s e c g i e s n v o p e f n p h e s e A s a journal After t any Chief of the State, but by one of the Ministers. b Its shares consequently were almost without value. It there upon became necessary that something should be done, and on the 19th of August M. Wren convoked the share holders, and exposed to them the real state of the enter prise. He represented that it would be impossible to sup port the competition of the Moniteur and the Pays by adopting the same price as they had done, and he proposed a reduction to 32f. That was a bold and able measure—it was a coup d'etat. At that price a large increase of sub scribers was to be expected. 10,000 subscribers had been lookedof would t3 n e oo moren( 0 doubt u n b tt l os comeloft p in r e t eh backeo fa c course u a snn newspaper while s f p a a p short e rin ta hn t ay i nmotet the ee a r n e t whoa l h i t e y y d t h n e o r e d o w u a b s t ab loss o b o t n a i e n n e e d h . s ü ß b u s o t i u b n o r f o . r t H u o n N a v t o e v l y e r t a t o h o n a t price w the o siderable increase of revenue was to be expected from the e tp t will ttoto nadopt fyooru the sellb y ptt a l comiaaov nasoecgentmoh, a i n: n pi de d aet nP n t nfs i e a r : ume 7 t i a o ,en he competition increase of publicity. The reduction of the price to 32i% was of no importance to the Moniteur, the Government organ, but it was a terrible blow to the Pays. The conse quence ; was that the proprietor of the latter journal was obliged to endeavour to come to an understanding with the Constitutions/tie. 31. Mires accordingly went to M. - Toren, and the latter gave this account of the interview in a essltneire which he had published :—" M. Mires,' said I distinctly, almost before allowing him to sit down,sc n b s s ce subscription enemies. . 11;43. si o ftc r a:nln t ay iechihnsieneohll ati same Con s t i tu tion net wli he evheic heavyas acbylarVbneAri burden rho. are eei s tn ir t one m , ntaelcekeaat;di came b u s g oeuf a y d o el u igh a f d ecl e , t ; n a i n ti s v w e er r e ep a l 7 :TToh-emPorray `To-morrow, etni cannot .

Be calm,' said he, I have not concluded—listen to me to the end. I - cannot sell you the Pays, but I can purchase the Consti tutionnel from you.' The Constitutionnel,' I answered, `is not exclusively my property, and you will never be able to buy it. The proprietorship of the Constitutionnel is divided into two distinct parts ; the comnzandite and the gerance ; the commandite consists of 180 shares, and the gerance is divided into two parts, represented by the Count de Morny and myself, M. de Moray having pur chased from me for 100,000 f. the half of all the rights and ' all the powers which the bye-laws confer on me as gerant. , I cannot do anything as gerant without the approbation of 31. de Moray, nor can ho do anything without me. But,' • I added, ' what would become of me without the Constitu tionnel ? I like work, anxiety, and e mbarrassment. It is only at rare intervals that I complain of embarrassment. If I leave Paris and my affairs, at the end of 24 hours I fee l the want of occupation, and gladly resume my harness. I will be no obstacle to you in any respect, 31. Mires, but my desire is that you shall not remove me from the Consti tutionnel, even on condition of paying me a million.' 31. Mires, however, insisted, and I then told him that I he d first step he had to take was to see Count de Moray. adde that it would not be becoming in me to estimate the price which M. de Morny would require for his share in the management, the greatest reserve on such a point being • necessary. M. Mires, as an active, enterprising ma n, said at once—' I will see you again to-morrow, and I will now : go to M. de Moray.' The next day lie arrived triumphant. Everything is concluded with M. de Moray,' said he ; `for his half of the gerance I am t o g i ve him 500,0 00 f. It will thus be seen that, without any intervention of mine, with out my saying a word, the value of the sgrance of the Con stitutionnel was fixed. I had no observation to make, but, more surprised than satified, I said to 31. Mires—' You are not at the end of your difficulties. You must come to an understanding with the shareholders, who are repre sented by the Committee of Surveillance. Shall I ask the committee to receive you?" I prefer,' said he, ' that you shall communicate to them my propositions. The COiltnialt dite of the Constitutionnel consists of 180 shares ; those shares cost only 2,500 f., though they were issued at the nominal capital of 3,000 f.; 180 times 3,0001. make 540,000 f., —propose, in my n am e , 510,0001. for the shares.' I :re marked that 3,000 f. per share would perhaps be considered too little; that the Committee of Surveillance was suspi cious and exacting, and that it had already brought,an action against me. Thereupon M. Mires, without hesita tion, said, offer:them 4,0.00 f., and that wil l make 720,0001., although I know well th a t no share could now be sold even for 1,0001." The memoirs then went on to state, that M. Veron, after again representing to tho committee tho situation • of tho journal, and the impossibility of con tinuing, without enormous losses, the competition with the Pays and the Moniteur, which had been commenced, com municated to them the prop os ition of M. Mires. Although (the learned gentleman remarked) the shar eholders ha d n o concern with the terms on which he might treat respecting the Oytrice, M. Veron told the committee that he also should leave the Constitutionnel in the event of their selling it to 31. Mires. The commit tee received the overtures ! favourably, and when they were communicated to the I sharehold e r s , the holders of 171 shares out of t he 180 con sented to accept them. No ge neral assembl y of the share- I holders w a s, however, called, as the formaliti es necessitated by such a meeting would h av e caused a d e l a y o f th ree months. Of the nine shares which did not figure in tho I list of adhesions, three belong ed to 31. I) b Y rit impercep 01ri.ioNtr,e1w.ohno, and, Nvas then in Egypt, and six to th e famil y - . Aguado.

The negotiation then might be considered as nearly concluded ; the question of the gerance arose be tween 31. - Wren and M. Mires. " Have you come to an understanding with 31. de Moray ?" s aid M. Veron. " I have," answered M. 31ires : " I am to give him 500,000 f. for his half of the management." " Well, answered M. Veron, "I do not seek for other conditions than those M. de Morny has accepted. But I must remark that he is only nominally gerant, while I am really so—that I have the responsibility, ,0001. a-year fo r ex p enses of representation, I have t he p ower. On t his account I am and I shall lose them. Moreover, I am a writer. I am not obliged to give my articles for nothing to the Constitutionnel; and I can prove from the books that, out of the 180,009 f. allowed annually for the literary expenses of the journal, I M. Mires, who tre ate d the affair grandly, as receive 10,000 f. It is, the n, 22,000 f. a- y ear which I s hall have to lose." a man accustomed to important operations, said, " What arrangement was come to , you say is perfectly just. I offer you theref ore 180,000 f. as an indemnity on that sc ore.n on the basis thus fixed by M. Mires himself. As to the shareholders, they were delighted; and a formal deed of sale was signed on the 17th of November. The fact, of the sale was announced very ostentatiously, and more than once, in the Constitutionnel ; so that there was no secrecy, and, if any of the shareholders had entertained objections, that was the an d 31. Veron was paid. The sale, But, on the 29th of January, mo ment to have made them. The shareholders were paid, M. had done so was a pr oblem which M. Veron could not solve. 185 It could not be on a ccount of mone y , as they had not in s 3 lll , eo i r v 3 l t l o s s r\ r s va ay . s Awegaousmappdaloietpti complete . in an opposition to it. Why they deigned to receive the dividends due to them from the C o nstitutionnel, and se veral thousand francs were now s t a nding to their credit in the books. The y reproached • M. Wren with having exceeded his powers as a gerant, should be annulled, and that 65,500 f. should be paid them, and they accordingly demanded that the sale of the paper as the price of a share in the first company of the Consti tutionnel. As to 31. Adamole, who held four shares, and 31. Foucalt, who held two, they did not demand the nul lity of the sale, for they had consented to it ; bat they re quired that the 1,180,000 f. paid for the gerance should - be divided among all the shareholders. These two preten sions were contradictory . , and he should be able to show, when the case was gone into on its merits, that they wore of no weight. But, for the moment, the sole question was, as to whether the Tribunal could entertain the case. He repeated his former observation, that if M. Veron could gratify his own wishes, he would not object to its jurisdic tion in the matter. But he was obliged to object on legal grounds, as, in the event of a decision being given against him, he would have to proceed against M. de Morny and M. Mires ; and they might reproach him with having con sented to have the case tried by an incompetent tribunal. Article_ 51 of the'Code de Commerce was very clear in say ing that this was one of the cases which ought to be sent before arbitrators ; and a clause in the bye-laws of the company of the Constitutionnel said the same thing. The question in dispute was essentially one between partners, and it ought to be treated in the same way as all such questions were. It was, too, a mere commercial one, being relative to a sale and purchase • and on that ground also it ought to be sent before arbitrators, or at least before the Tribunal of Commerce. M. Chaix d'Est-Ange, advocate for M. Mires, said that he was anxious to explain that that gentleman had not, as might be assumed from what had ben said, made a bad operation in purchasing the Constitutionnel at the rate of 4,000 f. a share, with 500,000 f. to M. de Morny, and 680,000 f. to M. Veron. He had not made a bad bargain, because he knew that ho could get rid of the two " warn ings " that had been given to the journal ; that he could raise, not only its subscription, but that of the Pays, and so check the ruin with which it was menaced at 32f.; and that, as it had 44,000 subscribers, there was reason to hope that he could increase the number of advertisements, which had been done. As to the technical objection which had been raised, he supported it; but it was not necessary to acid anything to the argument of M. Paillet. M. Hobert then proceeded to address the court for Messrs. Aguaclo. He would not, he said, stop to inquire if the 'other side were, as My alleged, rather anxious than otherwise that the ,LoCcht be gone publicly - into ; but he believed that they knew perfectly well that the tribunal was fully competent to entertain it, though they had pleaded the contrary. It was necessary to go a little into the acts, to enable the Tribunal to judge of the question raised. According to his adversaries, what 31. 'Peron had done was the simplest thing in the world—he had acted for the com mon interest, and it was ingratitudenot to heap eulogiums upon him. But when he was told that he had not the right to sell a common property, he replied that the ques tion was one between partners, and as such ought to be discussed in the dark before a tribunal of arbitrators. His clients saw the matter in quite a different light. They considered themselves co-proprietors of an accredited news paper, represented by a man who was not only the manager of it, and of the common interests, but, as he had stated in his ms7noire, the guardian of the portion of the pro perty belonging to them, for which their father had paid 65,000 f. Well, that gerant, that guardian, had, with out even consulting them, sold and delivered the com mon property for 1,900:000f. ; and out of that sum he had given to a friend 500,000 f., and had kept 680,000 f. himself. Besides that, he and his friend had taken 174,0001. for shares held by them ; so that there only remained 546,000 f. to divide among the other share holders. The portion which fell to Messrs. Aguado in that sum was not more than 24,000 f., and that for shares which had originally cost 65,5001. Tey accordingly contended, that a sale of property which produced such,results ought to be annulled ; and he submitted that the tribunal was the sole judge in matters relative to property. The learned advocate then went on to remark that it was strange that M. Wren, who, in the menwire he had published, had in troduced a great many irrelevant matters—one of them an account of a visit ho had made to one of the Messrs. Aguado, respecting his examination for the degree of bachelor of letters—had not attempted to prove that he could legiti mately dispose of the property in question ; nor attempted to explain how it happened that, when he had only 31 shares out of 180, he should receive 680,000 f. out of the purchase-money of 1,930,000 f., and should give 500,000 f. to a friend for what by his own avowal had cost that friend only 103,0031. Was not he warranted in saying, in presence of such figures, that it was not a sale which M. Wren had effected, but a confiscation ? The learned gentleman then gave a history of M. Veron's connexion with the Aguado family. It had commenced by the late M. Agnado, the father of his clients, having advanced him 300,000 f. for the caution-money which he had had to deposit as director of the Opera, and in return for that M. Veron had allowed him a box gratis. Subsequently, in 1838, M. Veron wrote a modest letter to M. Aguado, to ask him to assist him in purchasing two shares in the Constitutionnel. M. Aguaclo gave 65,500 f. for one of them, but allowed it to stand in M. Veron's name. In the changes which subse quently took place the share was represented by new ones, bearing M. Aguado's name. In consequence of these changes, M. "Wren became entrusted with the sole management f and control over the journal ; but his powers were not so extensive as had been represented. Thus, they were limited with respect to all that concerned the pro perty, the capital, and the common interest of the share holders • anti his' administration was placed under a Com mittee Of Surveillance, which committee shared with him the right of convoking general assemblies of shareholders. This being so, it was impossible that he could have the right to sell the journal without the authorisation of a general assembly of the shareholders ; at all events, it was im possible that out of the price of sale he could justly take 580,000 f. for himself ; give 500,000 f. to M. de Morny, and reserve only 24,0001. for Messrs. Aguado. The learned advocate then went on to contend that M. Veron, in order to wring from the Committee of Surveillance its consent to the sale, had represented the situation of the journal as much more grave than it really was, and had spoken of the two " warnings" it had received as likely to be perfectly ruinous to it, .though he knew that they were without danger, as the articles which had called for them had been written by M. Granier de Cassagnac, and that gentleman was to remain attached to the journal under its new pro prietors ; also, that ho know the " warnings" were to bo revoked on the establishment of the Empire, which was near at hand. There was no necessity, he asserted, for the reduction of the price to 32f., as the Pays was not a very formidable rival, and as the Constitutionnel then had up wards of 40,000 subscribers, while the. Pays had only 10,000. Nor was it true, as had been stated, that the shares of that paper were at that time unsaleable, as M. Faucher had sold several for 4.000 f. each. All those facts caused several of the shareholders to make a formal pro test against the sale of the journal on the conditions pro posed. _ The Tribunal, at this stage of the proceedings, rose, owing to.the lateness of the hour ; and it fixed the further hearing of the cause for Saturday next. M. Hobert will then resume his pleading for MM. Aguado. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-APRIL 13. (Prom the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.)

DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE AND ART. The following important minute has just been issued by the Board of Trade : ' ' "My Lords take into consideration the estimates about to be submitted to Parliament for affording aid to the local schools of art during the year ending the 31st of March, 1854. "At the establishment of the schools it was understood that a Government grant was promised for a limited p€rioil of three years, upon the condition that a sum equivalent to it was raised in the locality, and in the expectation that after three years the schools would be so established and supported as not to require any further assistance from Go vernment. These expectations have not been fulfilled ; but, on the contrary, the tendency of the system, until very lately, has been to encourage increased reliance on Government aid, rather than upon the-value of the instruc tion or local exertions, and has been found adverse to eco nomy. My Lords are of opinion, that by more judicious arrangement it may be possible greatly to increase the ad vantages which now result from the outlay of so large a sum of public money; and while they do not propose to withdraw grants from the places which now receive them, they are desirous to introduce a system of greater efficiency and economy, by which the independence of the local bodies may be increased, and the objects of the Parlia mentary vote more adequately attained. My Lords desire to relieve the localities altogether from the obli gation to raise a sum equivalent to the Parliamentary vote, and instead to leave the whole general manage ment, and the control of the cost of it, entirely to the local committees. In future, the local committees will not be required to return to this board any ac count of their local -expenditure, or of any receipts from subscriptions or. donation ; each local committee will, therefore, determine for itself what premises shall b e use d —subject, of course, to their being considered by my Lords as suitable for the purposes of instruction —what rent shall be' paid, what furniture provided, what managing officers, servants, &c., shall be engaged, and what shall be the cost of general management. " My Lords, on their part, propose to confine the Par- liamen - tary gnints wholly to - the Promotion of instruction, and even in this point to exercise control only so long as the local committee elects to receive the Parliamentary aid. Their Lordships would view it as the highest mark of the progress and success of art education, in any locality to find that the committee preferred independence of the Government grant altogether. " My Lords will require that the Parliamentary grant for the year ending the 31st of March, 1854, should be paid to the following objects :—the present masters' salaries ; an increase of masters where necessary, especially for affording instruction to public schools, public teachers ; and to de serving students in holding scholarships both in local and metropolitan schools : and to students in training to be come masters ; lectures and examples for teaching. After communication with the local committees, my Lords will apportion the grant to these respective items. " As the fees paid by the students may be considered as the product, partly, of the grants furnished by Parliament, and partly of the funds raised in the locality, my Lords will require as a condition of receiving any Parliamentary aid that an equitable portion of the fees shall be applied towards instruction ; and, in accordance with their minute of the 28th of January, 1853, and for the reasons given in ' the letter of the 30th of June, 1852, which has been sanc tioned by the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, they propose that such portion of the fees shall be paid to the master or masters of the school as part of their income, '"HENRY COLE, seoretary. .11 sf il• 03 ( tl li t.,•10.:// 0 331'151 Ot°lll A+' g isjs !la y; JAB ~ G+ ~l
