CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with an active appearance, and there was a slight improvement in prices. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken by the speculators, and 1,000 by the exporters. The Rail way Share Market closed steadily, and prices were a shade higher. During the last few days some large amounts of specie have been taken from the Bank of France, for the purchase of silk in Lombardy and other places. This, it is stated, has led to a reduction in the stock of bullion since the date of the last return of at least 800,000/., and on this account it is feared that the anticipated decline in the Bank rate to 5 per cent. may bo delayed, notwithstand ing the anxiety of the administration to afford re lief at the earliest opportunity. The trade of France is naturally depressed through the mainten ance of the current discount regulations, andas soon as the position of the Bank shall warrant it, a re laxation will no doubt immediately take place. The Directors of the Bank of England at their meeting to-day, as was generally expected, made no further alteration in the terms of interest and discount. In some quarters a change was not con sidered improbable ; and the impression that au early decline will take place has been somewhat strengthened by the fact, that some large parcels of gold have been ' recently added to the metallic reserves of the es tablishment, but this morning very few were con fident of a modification. Six per cent. is still an exceedingly high point for an official discount quo tation, and the Directors, like their confreres at Paris, are disposed to lower it whenever the position of affairs will admit of extended monetary operations. The demand at present is active, and full rates are current, consequently there is no " necessity for an immediate alteration, especially as the stock of "other securities" is very extensive. When these are reduced and. the reserve of notes is larger, a further diminution of per cent. will be justified. In the meantime it will be interesting to watch the specie movement, the Eastern exchange 'and the progress of events at Paris. The English Stock Market although very dull is rather firmer, and the tendency is in a favourable direction. Business continues very inactive and the transactions daily recorded are exceedingly unim portant. The increased firmness on the Paris Bourse, and the sale of 120,0001. of Californian goldto the Bank yesterday have produced a fractional improve ment. Consols are marked 931 but the present quotation is 93i For the opening they have been 93g. The New 3 per Cents. have remained steady at 921 to 93, and also the Reduced Annui ties. Exchequer Bills are ss. to 3s. discount, the Small Bonds 3s. discount to 2s. premium, and India Bonds are Bs. to 4s. discount. In the Foreign Market several transactions have taken place, and rather more firmness in quota tions is apparent. Turkish 6 per Cents are 961 1, and the 4 per Censs. have been largely dealt in at 101 i to 1021. The latter are now about 1911 to 102 ; Spanish 3 per Cents. are 42k, and the Cer tificates, Q. Sardinian Bonds are marked 89i ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 461, and Guatemala 5 per Cents., 53.

The meeting of the shareholders of the above company has just been held, and the statement of accounts (the substance of which we published yesterday) gave general satisfaction. Mr. CHARLES FRANKS took the chair, and explained the various items, and proposed a dividend of 51. per share free of income-tax for the half-year ending the 29th May. Mr. GEO. HIBBERT thought it imprudent to divide so much, as a very small sum would remain to meet con tingencies, but The CHAIRMAN said that the Board had taken the subject fully into consideration, and the report and divi. dend were therefore adopted.

CUTTING AND WOUNDING. —AN IRISH ROW.—Ann Bryan, a young Irishwoman, was brought up in custody, charged with cutting and wounding Catherine Costello, by striking her on the head and arms with a poker. The complainant, whose head was bandaged up and arm in a sling, said that about twelve o'clock on the previous night she was going to her lodgings, Metropoli tan-buildings, New-alley, White street, with ber sister, and as they were passing the house in which the prisoner and her friends resided, one of them attacked her sitter, who called out loudly for assistance. Witness went up, and was immediately attacked by the prisoner as she was trying to get her sister away. Then the prisoner snatched a poker from some one, and dealt two or three blo btu; nn her head and arm, until she became insensible. 0 t her recovery she was taken to the hospital, where her. wounds were dreseed, and s':e was sent home. Alter that she g ,ve information to the police, and the prisoner w as given into custody. In cross-examination by Mr. Solomons for the pri soner, witness said that she was quite sober, and said not fling to any one, neither did her sister. They were all erfectly sober. !dary Bryan, sister to last witness corroborated her testimony, and added that she was attacked by eight or nine persons as she was passing up the alley, and she said nothing whatever to them.

P "TWIN" n CAUTION TO THE BENEVOLENT. —THE—ODOR. Mary Callaghan, a strong young woman, with two bouncing children in her arree, which she alleged to be twins, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with the following system of imposture : Mr. William Alexander Coombe, No. 33, Essex-street, Strand, stated that about five o'clock yesterday after noon, be was waiting for an omnibus, at the end of Ox ford-street, when his attention was attracted to the pri soner, who was standing at the corner of a gateway, with two babies in her arms, with their faces turned up to the burning hot sun. Being the father of a family himself, he went up to her and expostulated with her upon exposing the childrens eyes to the sun. He then questioned her, and she said the children were hers, and were twins, and she was in great distress. He looked at the children and was positive they were not twine, and when he saw a constable he gave her into custody. The prisoner was then conveyed to the station-house, where she was searched, and 51. in coppers was found upon her. In defence, the prisoner said the children were here, and she had only recently arrived from Edinburgh in search of her husband, who was a labourer. She was lodging in Mint-street, but did not know the number of the house. Mr. Bingham was about to send her to Mint-street, with an officer, to ascertain if her tale was true, when Reany, one of the Mendicity constables, stepped forward and said the prisoner's mother was present, who, no doubt, would give some further information about the prisoner. An old Irishwoman, who said she lived at 45, Pear street, Westminster, in answer to Mr. Bingham, said the prisoner was her daughter, and bad been living with her for the last three days in Pear-street. The children were bees, and twins. She was an honest woman, and got her bread by hard work. Reany said he had known the prisoner ever since she was a child, and for some years it had been a regular system with her to exhibit children about town, repre senting them to be twins. Her sister carried on the same system of imposition, and the old woman herself was a notorious beggar and impostor, and made no end of money out of the benevolent. Mr. Bingham said the prisoner was a most wicked impostor, and he was quite sure that in this hot weathe she would be much better in prison, to which she must be committed for one month.

He, therefore, moved that the chairman report progress. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL trusted the hon. gen tleman would not persevere in pressing his motion to a division. (Hear.) The principle of the bill that English judgments should have effect in Ireland, and Irish judgments in England, was assented to by nearly all parties, and he thought that the two principles should be kept intact ; and if it was sought by the present bill to amalgamate the two, he should be the last person to support it. The bill did not contain such a provision, and, therefore, he trusted the house would proceed with it. Mr. AY RTON suggested that the bill should be com mitted pro forma, in order that the Solicitor-General for England might adopt certain amendments which would meet the views of all parties. He hoped the hon. mem ber would withdraw his motion for reporting progress if such a course was assented to. After a few remarks from Sir E. PEERY and Mr. M'MAHON, The committee divided upon the question that the Chairman report progress. For the motion 5O Against it l4l Majority -91 Mr. BLAND moved an amendment to clause 7, with the object of clearly defining where full jurisdiction should lie. The clause, as amended, was ordered to stand part of the bill. On clause 8, Colonel FriENCII moved that the chairman report progress. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL condemned the fac tious opposition offered to this bill by the Irish mem bers. He would suggest that the bill be committed pro forma upon the understanding that the member for Ayr, the Attorney-General for Ireland, and the Lord Advo cate consult upon the bill, and introduce it in an amended form. Sir E. PERRY thought the effect of postponing the consideration of the bill would be to throw it over until next session. Colonel FRENCH withdrew his motion for reporting progress upon the understanding that the bill pass through committee pro forma. A conversation here ensued whether ib was in accord ance with the rulee of the house that the bill could pass through committee pro forma without the whole of the clauses being agreed to. Mr. P. BRIEN said if the suggestion for the com mittal of the bill was not adopted, he and Lis party would fight the bill in the usual manner. (Laughter.) The LORD ADVOCATE said if the rules of the house permitted, the Government would use their in fluence to re-commit the bill. Eventually the consideration of the clauses was pro ceeded with. On the question that clause 8 stand part of the bill, Mr. WMAHON said he had great objection to the clause. He therefore moved that it be struck out. The SOLICITOR•GENERAL defended the clause, which he explained was introduced for the prevention of collusive judgments. The committee divided, when there appeared— For the clause 196 Against it Majority —l5B The clause was then agreed to. Clause 9 was next proposed. Colonel FRENCH moved that the chairman report progress. Mr. ADAMS suggested 'that Ireland should be ex cluded from the operation of the bill. After a short conversation, in which Mr. M'Cann, Mr. Ayrton, and Mr. Grogan took part, A divi-ion took place ; the numbers were— For reporting progress 54 Against it Majority --121 Mr. M`MATION moved an amendment in the clause to the effect that a complete Scotch judgment, and not an extract of a decreet should be registered and acted upon. Mr. GROGAN declared it as the intention of the Irish members to throw out the measure. They intended to use every form which the proceedings of the house gave to carry out their object. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL suggested that the better course would be now to report progress, as there seemed a determination to obstruct the progress of the bill. During the whole of the time the measure had been under discussion he had not heard one valid objection urged against it. (Hear.) Mr. CRAUFURD said if the hon. gentleman agreed to withdraw his amendment he would assent, from com pulsion, to the chairman reporting progress, but he gave notice that he should bring forward the measure on the first open Wednesday. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and the house resumed. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented in favour of Mr. Headlam's Medical bill, and also from a number of literary and scientific institutions in favour of the bill before the house, exempting such institutions from the payment of rates and taxes. ROCHDALE ELECTION. The members appointed to try the meriti of the peti tion against the return of the sitting member were called to the table and sworn. The committee was ordered to meet to-morrow at 11 o'clock. CAMBRIDGE ELECTION. The members appointed to try the merits of the' Cam bridge petition were sworn. JUDGMENTS EXECUTION BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. Colonel FRENCH said, as a number of Irish mem bers were now in attendance on Lord Palmerston, on the subject of tenant right, he trusted the hon. member for Ayr would, therefore, postpone the further progress of this bill until after the other orders of the day. That he might be in order, he begged to move that the chair man report progress. Mr. CRAUFURD could not assent to the request of the hon. member. If the course pointed out was adopted, it would most likely endanger the passing of the bill during the present session. Mr. AYRTON :aid if each an eventuality should arise, it would not be regarded as a national calamity. He thought, as no member of the Government was present to throw light upon some legal doubts that might arb.e during the committee, the farther progress of the bill should be postponed. The committee then divided, when there appeared— For reporting progress 3l Against it 93 Majority . 62 Mr. A. STAFFORD objected to proceeding with the bill in the absence of the hon. gentleman the Attoreey- General for Ireland. Mr. MASSEY said the principle of the bill had so often been discussed that he thought hon. members were sufficiently acquainted with the bill to proceed with its committal. The hon. gentleman the Lord Advocate had expressed his intention of being present, and, no doubt, he would shortly be in his place. Mr. NAPIER, thought that if the present measure was passed it would become inoperative, and therefore to waste time:in its discussion was a useless waste of time. Alter a short discussion, in which Mr. S. Fitzgerald, the Lord Advocate, and Mr. Bland took part, Colonel FRENCH moved the postponement of the consideration of clause 7. Mr. PACKE moved that the chairman do leave the chair. The committee divided on the latter motion, when there appeared— Ayes Noes RAILWAYS. aßiuyedkeitz e o i s . p c .; !Col.Stour Vy.

The house then went into committee on this bill. Mr. LOCKE moved an amendment on the second clause. The bill proposed to exempt certain scientific institutions from the payment of certain rates. In the present bill he observed the word " education" had been introduced, and if such a word was retained great hardship on the poorer classes would be inflicted. In the borough of Southwark the rates were already very heavy, and if this bill passed, as it at present stood a number of pub lic institutions, such as Bethlem Hospital, situated in the borough, would be exempt from contributing to the rates, and thus the already heavy burden would be greatly increased. Mr. HENLEY said if the present bill passed, the clerks would claim exemption. He should move, at the proper time, that the clause do not stand part of the bill. Mr. SPOONER , moved that the Chairman report progress. Mr. BOUVERIE said there was great objection to the exceptions contained in the bill. Under all cir cumstances he felt it to be his duty to vote fur the mo tion that the Chairman report progress. The committe divided. - For the amendment Against it Majority -36 It being a quarter to 6 Mr. FITZROY left the chair, and the house resumed. ROCHDALE ELECTION. A. report was brought up from the Rochdale Election Committee, stating although every means bad been taken to procure the attendance of Peter Johnson for exami nation before the said committee, all steps had failed. The committee further reported that there was nothing to implicate the sitting member or his agents. The other orders were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. TIIE CONVICT MANsELL.—The Judges in the Court of Error, yesterday afternoon, affirmed the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench, and ordered the convict for exe cution at Maidstone on the 4th of July. Tull EXHIBITION OF ART TREASURES.—The admis sions on Tuesday were—by season tickets, 1,140 ;on payinout, 6052; total, 7,4 i n. Of Woo 3,033 arrived by milway. Mn. - HULLAH'S CONCERTS. —The last concert of the season at St. Martin's-hall, under the direction of Mr. Rullab, was given last evening. The hall was quite full, as has been the case at the whole of these excellent concerts. A number of solo, con certed, and choral pieces of the most classical cha racter were admirably performed. Ties TONIC SOL-FA ASSOCIATION. —This society, whose successful labours in the cause of popular instruction in choral music we have several times noticed, had a " juvenile choral meeting" at Exeter-hall last evening. The chair was occu pied by the Rev. W. M. Whittemore, rector of St. James's Aldgate, and the hall was densely crowded in every part. A selection of pieces taught iu schools of the association wag sung by a choir of above a thousand voices, consisting of the children belonging to the various schools established in all parts of the metropolis. These pieces are exceed ingly good, both in respect to words and music, the poetry being uniformly in an excellent spirit, and the harmony being plain;simple, and pure. The singing was really beautiful ; not only correct in point of execution, but full of animation and feel ing, showing that the hearts of the little choristers were in their music. The crowded assemblage ex pressed, by the warmth of their applause, the plea sure, both musical and moral, which they received from the entertainment. HAMPSTEAD HEATH.-DEPUTATION TO TIIE GOVERNMENT. Yesterday, a meeting of deputations from the northern metropolitan parishes took place at the Marylebone Court-house, for the purpose of taking measures for a determined opposition to the Amended Leases and Sales of Settled Estates' Bill, having for its object the removal of the clause from the act of last session, which prohibits persons in the position of Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson from letting land for building purposes on places like Hampstead Heath. Mr. T. D'lffanger occupied the chair. Mr. TURNER, representative for Hampstead, said their first step must be to prevent the repeal of the clause in the Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Bill of last session, which would give Sir T. M. Wilson the power to build ever Hampstead Heath. With a view to effect that object, he begged to move the appointment of a deputation to wait upon Sir B. Hall to ask his influence with the Go vernment and Parliament to prevent the proposed measure passing. After some discussion on the point, the resolu tion was carried. The Rev. R. ECKETT moved the second resolu tion, to the effect, "That it was desirable that the Metropolitan Board of Works should enter into correspondence with Sir T. M. Wilson, to ascertain on what terms he will sell his right, and the re mainder, as to Hampstead Heath, and the conti guous•lands mentioned in the report of the Metro politan Board of Works, so as to secure the same for the benefit of the public." Mr. CAMERON seconded this resolution. Mr. FREEZE! said that he had that morning seen Sir B. Hall, and he expressed to him his apprehen sion that the proposed alteration of the Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Act would pass, as they would not allow the people of the metropolis to be like the dog in the manger, neither take the Heath themselves, nor allow the owner to mak6 use of it. The people were wofully mistaken in supposing that the Heath was their own. Mr. Freer suggested the holding of a monster meeting on Hampstead heath, on Monday evening next. (Hear.) The resolution was carried unanimously, and a deputation appointed, to whom the other matters were also referred. The meeting separated, after urging the metro politan parishes at once to petition Parliament against the proposed alteration in the Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Bill. IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING. THE BROADSTONE MURDER. The Mai/ of this evening announces that, after several weeks spent in a bootless inquiry—after over and over again declaring that the murderer was well known, and ere 24 hours elapsed he would be in custody —now, after the lapse of six months, the murder having been committed so far back as the 13th of November, an arrest has been made, and one person at all events, a painter nam ed Spollen, stands charged with perpetrating that atro cious murder. The evidence upon which Spollen was this morning arrested was that of his own wife, which, being illegal, will require other evidence to sustain the charge. Spollen was employed, it ap pears, as a painter in the office of the Midland Railway, and his wife's information is to this effect: —She swears that Spollen painted Mr. Little's room a few days before the murder. She declares that on the night of the murder Spollen returned to his residence about eight o'clock, bringing a quantity of gold and silver; that he told her it was Little's money, and that he had killed him. She saw him burn a pocket book and also his cravat; that she saw him cover with paint the bloodstains on his clothes, and that he told her he had made his escape through the roof, after committing the murder. She assisted to conceal the money, and she further stated that the bag of silver found was Spollen's, and the bag was placed in the trunk by Spollen ; that the hammer found was Spollen's, and she believed the razor also, as he appeared very nervous the day it was found, and said he had thrown it in with the case on, and if the case were discovered it would no doubt be identified. She further stated that she knew where the money was concealed, and would show the police the place. At 2 o'clock to-day Superintendent Guy accom panied the woman, and found between two wa ll s, within the precincts of the railway terminus , a large portion of the missi ng mone y, consisting of gold, bank-notes, and silver. The notes from th e d amp were nearly destroyed. Spollen will be brought up morrow. -He is at for examination to present at the Chancery-lane statiOn-h0460, LYCEUM THEATRE, Dr. Milman's five-act tragedy of "Fazio," origi nally played at Covent Garden in the year 1816, with Miss O'Neill as the heroine, was produced last night in an Italian garb, with the view of af fording a new opportunity for the display of Ma dame Ristori's tragic powers. As the plot is now unfamiliar to most readers, we give it briefly. Fazio is a poor an enthusiastic dreamer, whose life is divided between admiration of his wife Bianca and researches for the philosopher's stone. One night while engaged at his laboratory a cry for help is heard, and on the door being opened an old miser resident in the neighbourhood, Bartoldo by name, staggers in, narrates the history of his attack by robbers, and finally dies at Fazio's feet. The temptation is too strong. Fazio buries the old man's body in his garden, takes his keys, and pos sesses himself of his treasures. Once become a great lord, his passion revives for a certain Marchese Aldabella, whom ha bad courted previous to bis marriage, but who had slighted him on account of his poverty. She now, howevi r, is too ready to receive him. Bianca is forgotten, and the love of Fazio and Aldabella is renewed. Mad with jea lousy, Bianca hastens to the ducal council, then sitting in deliberation as to Bartoldo's mysterious disappearance, and denounces Fazio as his mur derer. Fazio is arrested, condemned to die, and, notwithstanding the strenuous exertions of his bitterly repenting wife, finally executed. Al la bella's guilty intercourse with Fazio is represented to the Duke, and she f condemned to a nun's life, while Bianca dies of grief and shame. From this slight sketch it will be seen that the part of Bianca offers full scope for the delicate light and shade of Madame Ristori's acting ; and, but seldom have we seen her to greater advantage. As her greate.t points we would instance her wild burst of revengeful rage when the thought dawns across her that by betraying him to the council she can wrest Fazio from Aldabella's arms, her waken ing to reason to find her husband has been led out to death, and her feeble, impotent attempts to sup port her tottering frame, and her assumption of prophet-like denunciation when the Duke pro nounces sentence upon her rival Aldabella. Madame Ristori was called before the curtain several times during the piece, and twice at its termiriation. She was ably supported by the Italian company, and the stage arrangements were liberal and effective. MUSIC. CONCERTS. Tn VOCAL UNION.--This society, established for the performance of English glees and madrigals, began their second season by a concert at the Hanover-square rooms yesterday morning. The room was crowded—a circumstance which gave us much satisfaction, as indicating a returning atten tion on the part of the public to a beautiful and truly English description of music, which of late years has been too much neglected. MR. BENEDICTS'S CONCERTS AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The second of these entertainments was given yesterday morning. Like the first, it was on a great scale, and gave employment to all the vocal and instrumental strength of Mr. Lumley's estab lishment. Madlle. Piccolomini sang, in English, Balfe's famous song, "I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls," with a purity of elocution that de lighted the audience. sufficiency of his majority; he must go through an other election. In the fifth and sixth district: MM. Carnot and Goudch tux, names well knowr in former days, have been returned by large majo rities. It is true that in the other seven districts Government candidates have- been returned, yet we cannot but look upon the result of the elec tions in Paris as a moral blow to. the Government. At Lille, Bordtaux, and Lyons it is also said that Opposition candidates have triumphed. The strug gle, therefore, is not unlike that which seated Louis Napoleon, nearly nine ye:ars ago, in the Pre sidential chair. Then, as now, the great mass •o• the people supported him through confideuce in hi , personal qualities and veneration for his family name. But Paris, Lille, Lyons, and some ()the. centres of population and disaffection protested, perhaps, even more strongly then than now. It appears that in the present case the number of Opposition candidates returned is very small— the Ministerial papers say there are not more than nine or ten ; so that the Emperor may well assert that the great body of the people w hi c h c h ose hi m i s still ready to support the legislators of his choice. So far, then, the Government has been successful, and no one can doubt its success. But it is net at all improbable that from the elections of 1857 may be reckoned a period very different from that with which the Empire commenced. Undoubtedly, the policy of the Empire is, and always has been, to appeal front Paris to France, from the fickle, critical, and keen-witted inhabi tants of the capital, to the more domestic, affec tionate, religious, and money-saving provincials. No one can doubt the determination of the Empe ror not to be dictated to by mobs or meetings as long as he possesses the steady adherence of those whose votes placed him on the throne. Yet an ad verse election in Paris must exercise much influence both at . home and abroad. In the first place, Paris is not only to Frenchmen but tin: the world in gene ral the representative of France.. English travellers who visited the country prioisto the first Revolu tion observed the complete dependence of mind which distinguished the people of the, provinces, and the charact e r i s s till th e same. The very far mers and vine growers, who supported Government candidates this week will begin to doubt their own wisdom when they hear that a Cavaignac and a Carnot have been returned by a district of enlight ened and witty Parisians. Furthermore, Paris and the large towns are the only places, or are thought to be the only places, where electors are not intimi dated and ballot-boxes are not tampered with. In the rural districts the Prefect and the Bishop, the Maire and the Priest, may be said to constitute society. The peasantry and small proprietors, acute and bard-fisted enough in their way, are the most acquiescent of mortals, so far as regards dynasties and constitutions. They will follow the lead of Government officers and spiritual advisers, and their votes may always be counted on for the support of existing authority, excepting when, as in the case of the Presidency Of 1848, tae clergy are ranged against the civil power. It is likely, then, that both to France and the world the elec tions of Paris, Lyons, and Lille may stand for the legitimate expression of the country's will. There there is communication and co-operation ; the votes, though given by ballot, are no secret, and the opinions of each elector are known to a large body of friends. So they may be considered free, and the result of a more instructed choice than the decision of any body of provincials. The conduct of the Government officials must also add to any distrust with which the course of this conflict has been regarded. It is now plain to the world that the Emperor and his advisers set their hearts on returning every man of their own. party. Paris was especially the object of their solicitude • so eager were the Tuileries a n d th e H o t e l de Ville that even in this most solemn constitutional proce dure, in this first essay on the rights guaranteed by. the Imperial system, the most intolerable interfe rence was practised. Nor was it successful. Men who live under despotic power beCome disposed to respect courage and unshaken self-confidence above any other qualities of a ruler ; and in this affair such acts as the warning of the Siecle, the publica tion of M. Haussmanti's intemperate address, and the undignified manifesto of M. Billault may well have prevented thousands from voting for the Go vernment candidates,, and swelled the lists which gave the Opposition candidates a seat in the Legis lature. Now, however, we must look to the future. The new Legislative Body is chosen: "It is, as before, devoted to the Government, but has among its number a knot of men who, under the various names of Constitutionalist, Liberal, and Republi-: can, are hostile to the system which is now esta blished in France. The question is—" What will these new Representatives do ?" The Minister of the Interior has declared that they are merely frondeurs who have sought election under the pre sent Constitution in order that they may publicly empress their contempt for it, and refuse their alle giance to the Throne. A great body of French. men, and probably thousands who voted for the Opposition candidates, think so too. We cannot doubt that many a workman who has smelt the powder of the barricades, and whose friend or brother has disappeared either to the gi ave or to Guiana, after some insurrectionary movement, voted in the hope that the candidate of his choice would indignantly refuse the oath to obey the usurper, and quit the Chamber, ex claiming " Vive la Republique 1" But we can not think that the Opposition members wil be so ill-advised as thus to play the game of the Government, and acquire for themselves the repu tation of factious and theatrical disturbers of the peace. Even if they do nut recognise the legality of the means by which the Emperor mounted his throne, yet he is on it, and a majority of the nation has not only condoned but approved the excesses of 1855. Napoleon 111. is Emperor of the French ; the elections have taken place under the Imperial Constitution, and to accept the p ar t o f a can did ate is to accept he Government which authorised the election. For the few Liberals who have been re turned to quit the Chamber with an affected pro test against the regime which alone allowed them to enter it would be a display highly detrimental to their cause. It would justify all that the Go vernment organs have said respecting the vanity and intemperance of the Opposition, and would furthermore be a betrayal of those who have endan gered their prospects in order to restore to the con stitution an element of vitality. We have said that be the beginning of a i ne w period. possibly these This s ti m on a s lt y w b i eso, if the Liberal candi dates whose claims have been supported by the people go into the Chamber with a deter mination to play the part of honest and independent legis lators. Without speeches treasonable or seditious, without protests against the misdeeds of past days, they may effectually, if they desire ' check the self-will of the Court and the insolence of its functionaries. Even a dozen men, if they hold together, and make moderate and well-timed speeches about matters 011 which they are sure to be right, must in a few months exercise a moral control over any number of benches filled with the puppets of a Government. The small end of the wedge has been forced into the fabric of the Imperial system ; whether it will be driven home depends on the judgment of the men to whom the Opposition has confided its cause. FRENCH E bECTIO.NS. Not since the Imperial Crown of France wa placed on the head-of. Napoleon 111. by the vot of 1852,has any political event unconnected witl foreign affairs so roused the attention of the worh as the elections which have just taken place. The results are now sufficiently known. In Paris th 4 Government has been defeated in three districts ou of ten. General Cavaignac, formerly Chief of th. Republic and the opponent of.the present Empero in the contest for the Presideticy,': has been chose? in the third district though on account of the in• THE NETLEY SO2PITAL. At a meeting of the Southampton town-council on Tuesday afternoon this subject underwent con siderable discussion, and reports were presented from the sanitary committee, the officer of health, and the medical profession, controverting the statements that have been made relative to the unhealthiness of the Spot • s e l ec t e d for the hos pital. During th e d e b ate a letter was rea d from the Hon, R. H. Dutton, one of the county mem bers, stating that the Government did not intend to abandon the site. Resolutions were agreed to, ex pressing the opinion of the council that the state ments made by Mr. Stafford in the House of Com mons relative to the the contrary, the not founded in fact but that, on ) site chosen was most eligible for the purpose, an unhealthiness of the site were opinion borne out by all medical authorities of districts ; that the report the town and surrounding .t of the Medical beadvertise.in the Times ; sanitary committee be re ceivedthat the report t pted, and that the medical reports and 341 d Q forwarded to Lord Palmerston, the be printed an Sc'oc-letlYre f o r the borough and county, and such members o ther members of the House of Commons a s may be con sidered necessar y • , that the members for the b o rough be respectfully requested to take the earliest opportunity to contradict . the statements in question ; and also that Lord Palmerston be requested to receive a deputation of the council.
