A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the most ample return for after life ; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is. a week) at 20 will at 65 give the policy holder the choice of an annuity for life of 471. 16s. 6d.: 3941. 1 le. in cash; or policy without further contributions of 4661. at death. 2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a fund always available during sickness or want of employment. 3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in case of premature death.

This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto confined to the more weaAlly, viz.:- Ist. Insuring their lives in sums from 5/. and upwards, se curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age ; Weeie.y Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children, the Premiums being divided into Monthly Instalments for the convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected against loss by Fire, in sums from 10/. to 1001., by Quarterly Payments ; thus' Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 20/. can be Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty included. The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will henceforth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily have guarded. Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351, Strand, or to any of the Society's Agents.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason hay, been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the ot dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and phylical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

(From the Lancet, of Saturday, Nov. 7.) The meeting of the Middlesex Magistrates on the 29th ult. was attended with considerable interest to the medical profession, and some curious facts were eli cited which will not be easily be forgotten. One of the Magistrates, a Governor of Bethlem, asked the Chairman, if; in consequence of the abandonment of re straint, a patient had not committed suicide at Hanwell? The Chairman replied th at i t was f rom t h e imper fectnn ci d o t n h o a i t iy ,thes Bethlem.s y sworthyktenmnv: for Magi strate thatth that tt could ou Id state nn oi nt s o tb, fe as t b hen: because Governor r . a patient at Bethlem had recently hung herself in her own strait-waistcoat. Surely it behoves the Directors of the Hanwell Asylum to take care that the shutters are in a proper state, and the Governors of Bethlem that their strait-waistcoat s are properly fastened. Then a Magistrate stated, that the breakage of glass was terrific at Hanwell, since the abolition of restraint there ; and another Magistrat e replied, that a great cause of the increased expense was the reglazing of the building, which used to be repaired with block-tin in stead of glass ; and that all the breakage by the pa tients could be prevented when honeycomb blinds were put up, and that they had been ordered nine or ten months ago, but why they were not put up no one could iesdtraatt,c.eis Hanwell, tell. Then some one spoke highly in praise of the forthcoming Report by Dr. Conolly ; and, in reply, the President of Bethlem, Sir Peter Laurie, said that the Ma physicians of Bethlem had made a report also, and declared the Hanwell system impracticable. We trust that the Governors of Bethlem will direct that Report to be printed, and as extensively circulated as the ben another from Middlesex Magistrates have directed the Report of Dr. Conolly to be. Science demands it, but humanity still more ; and if the Report be withheld, the public spoke againstwilltli a t not t t o hbee say,sysatisfied.st system ' t . of putting seOcl nu es seclusion, on person, f, aths epr Mac i ta n igs a stat e of Ina _ tnhheic lighta 1 excitement,is partiallyin e excluded l r u o d o e m d ; gistrate said, that the only differenee between the Han well system and the old system is, that upon the old system, 'in addition to the solitary room, the sufferer was chained to his bed, with his arms and legs pinioned and chained ; and then came the most extraordinary part of the whole proceeding, which we give - _ more at length. .... . b a y n d himself, then Sir Peter Laurie begged to observe, t h at the subject of seclusion he entirely differed in opibLon with Dr. Conolly. Tbat seclusion was, in truth, onlyn another term for solitary confinement ; and solitary con finement was well known, as the annals of the Peniten tiary would prove, to cause madness in sane persons • and what then must be its effects whe n applied to the insane ? He disapproved of the i practice a l together ; it would not be permitted in Bethlem... em.. ~....... with Mr. Tulk said be had listened surprise, ho might say astonishment, to the state ment Becould of th e wort h y President of Bethlem. e assure the wort h y President he was entirely mistaken in supposing that there was no solitary c onfineTt in B a hl_ . Bethlem that the fact. was quite the reverse. That within the lasi month a remarkable instance hall occurred,which in a pati en t, whose case had excited much interest on the b enc h , h a d been confined not only in solitudet but in total darkness, without a ray of light, or the perloration f s h utter which a which could admit of one, fora if fertnight, a n d was found in that state by a visitor ; and t he report of the keeper a were true , as to the cause o f hi s con to that gentlema medical finement, it was not a s a • measure, but for st r iki ng the steward ! What think you of this, gentle reader ? Now here is a most extraordinary contradictio n , and not the less extraordinary, because in the Parliamentary of the state of Bethlem , it is asserted that Report A heir beds pa tients are at times chaine. tc . , t b , for long periods and only returned as " in their eds. ' Either Mr. Tulk or the President must be in error . ; . and if th e f ormer, he has been grievously if i mpos ed on ; the latt er , h ow little must he know of the real management of that hospital. This matter shall not rest here. Arany other curious statements, and counter-statements, were made ; but the result of the proceedings was an unanimous determina tion to support Dr. Conolly and the human e system o f treatment, evinced by a suspension of the standing or ders, and the re-election of the Committee of last year. The most sensible part of the day's proceedings was the declaration of one of the Magistrates, that the whole subject of the treatment of the insane must be brought before Parliament ; and so it must. We take the following extract froth the Report of the " The Report of the Visiting Justices of the Hanwell Lunatic Asylum was then read. It was very volumi i ness. and contained tonaas ofilighly-inieresting and im portant information. There was also appended to that document a report from Dr. Conolly, the medical su perintendent of the asylum. " Mr. WiLsoar approved of the report, but could not help thinking that the plan of non-coercion' had been carried too far. He had heard, too, that one of the pa tients had lately committed suicide—an occurrence which might have been prevented had the party been subjected to.the-proper coercive means. " The CHAIRMAN observed, it was a very well-ascer tained fact, that there were a greater number of sui cides in lunatic asylums wherein coercion was used, than in those wherein it had been abolished. He could not help feeling that it was a matter of astonishment that there had been but one suicide in the course of twelve months in an asylum containing upwards of nine hundred patients, rather than that a solitary case should offer fair or just ground for complaint against the plan which was adopted. " The Rev. Mr. TRIMMER entirely disapproved of the system of non-coercion, which was at present in existence in the Hanwell Asylum ; the statements re lative to which were, in his opinion, of a nature strangely calculated to give a false gloss to the transactions which took place in that asylum. He fancied, in addi tion to the instance of suicide of which mention bad been made, that there was another in which two other patients had attempted, but, he was happpy to say, unsuccessfully, to commit a similar act, whilst there was a case where a patient bad destroyed himself a very short time after his discharge as cured. The system in operation at Hanwell he denied to be one of non coercion, for he contended that it was one of ineffective coercion—a system wbicb, in his opinion, the visiting justices were in no way justified io adopting.—(Hear.) I.sebtr; TULx,.io fzeplya to.the charges whieb had-beets brought forward by.the Hon.-and, Row Megistratorea. marked that they were not in any way founded on any official information, but that they were the result of very imperfect information, which the Rev. Gentleman had re ceived from parties well known to be hostile to the new plan of discipline at present in operation in the asylum. —(Hear.) The plan of Sir W. Ellis had been adopted and carried out by the visiting justices, because they were fully convinced that it was based on the principles of kindness and humanity towards the unfortunate and unhappy patients. As to the charge relative to the patients who had torn off their clothes, he begged to say that every means had been taken with a view to the prevention of such an act by those individuals who were known to have evinced a disposition to tear their apparel. Then, as to the medical department of the institution, all he would say was, that he reposed the greatest reliance in the professional skill of Dr. Co nolly, a confidence which, he ventured to assert, was properly reposed, as was abundantly proved by the large increase in cures, and the diminution in the number of deaths in the asylum.—( Hear, hear.), " Mr.GreaoN regretted to have to state that be differed not differences, ;e rbut u cteist astonished ,dti hdanto there h that aepr very considerably on this subject with severa l o f hi s bro ther Magistrates, the visiting justices. Mr. t A w rt t ARMSTRONG gs o v af 'a l 1s the their Court altogether ffin a di ff erence of opinion has ari sen upon t hi s su bj ect amongst the i least desire on the part of any One of them to go back and retrace their steps until they had arrived once more at the old system.—(Hear, hear.) He had recently gone over an institution abroad wherein there wete no fewer than 3,000 lunatics ; there, however, there was less restraint on the patients than at Hanwell. " Sir P. LAURIE thought the best plan to be adopted now was, that the further discussion be postponed until the Report had been printed and circulated amongst the Magistrates.—( Hear, hear.) " The CHAIRMAN here said, he trusted he might be allowed to say a few words at the present moment. It was well known that he had taken a very active part in the welfare and concerns of this institution.—( Hear, hear.) He congratulated the whole nation upon the discussion which had taken place that day. That the subject of the Hanwell Lunatic Asylum—of lunatic asylums he ought properly to say—must be brought before Parliament ere long, there could not he the least doubt.—(Hear, hear.) He had been the visitor of other asylums than that which belonged to the county in which they were assembled, and there he had seen unfortunate lunatics in chains and manacles in numbers to such an extent as to shock most deeply the feelings of humanity.—(Hear, hear.) The subject, indeed, was one which demanded the deepest consideration.— ( Hear, hear.) He felt himself called on to reply to the statements which bad been made by an Hon. Member of that Court. That gentleman had asserted that the Committee . were kept in the dark and in ignorance as to the proceedings in the asylum. That Hon. Gentle man would excuse him if he at once said that such was not the fact ; be had been imposed upon.—(Hear.) For instance, he had been told that patients bad been permitted to remain for days together in a state of na kedness, and had been locked up in dat k rooms. Now this circumstance ought to be explained. A gentleman had gone over the asylum, and had subsequently said that he hnd seen patients in dark cells. In reply to that declaration, he begged to say that at Hanwell there were not any dark cells. Would the Court allow him now to detail to them some instances of what was termed mild restraint ? He had seen within the last fourteen day s a man—he would not say in what asylum it, was, but he had gone there on the recommendation of a gentleman who was an acknowledged advocate of mild restraints—who was in heavy manacles. Within the last month, in another asylum, whither he had been sent by a gentleman of great benevolence, because he said the asylum was well conducted, he had seen three young women who were bound fast down to their beds, with their hands passed through rings, so that they were ut terly incapable of moving, and yet such treatment was called mild restraint.—( Hear, hear.) He had seen, ton, a man who was manacled by the legs so tightly as only to be able to shell: along the flo - tr, in which state he had been for no fewer than ten years.—(Hear, hear.) The arms of the young women were black and blue from the chains which had been placed around and upon them. He had seen in another county asylum, said to be an asylum in which the system of mild restraint was practised, two men who had been chained to their beds for four years and a half; the one for having struck his keeper ; the other, because it was said that he had been tried for having stabbed a man. " Mr. FORBES suggested that it would be as well that those asylums should be named.—( Hear, bear.) " The CHAIRMAN had no hesitation in doing so. The one was an asylum in the Isle of Wi;ht, the other was the asylum at "Maidstone, in Kent. He had in the latter, too, seen a female fastened into what was termed a coercive chair, with a large cuirass of thick leather round her body, so tight, that as she moved it creaked. Her hands were pinioned before her, and on his ask. ing her if she would like to be released, she answered that she should be grateful if her hands were to be freed. There were also between twenty and thirty others who were in different sorts of manacles for acts of mishief.—(Hear, hear, hear.) " The Learned CHAIRMAN then went into a detail of other good results from the new system, and ex rperaecsisietdhea re h m o p o s te s t t h p a a t r ts what of th b e a d e m p p a s i r s e e , d a t Intadt thatday m a i gltt ge neral advantage might follow to all those persons upon whom the heavy visitation of the Almighty had fallen. —( Hear, hear.) He besought the Court to allow the humane system, which had been hitherto, although the period had been but short since its practical introduc tion on an extensive scale by Dr. Conoll7, so success. ful, to have a fair trial.—(Hear, hear.) Confident he was that it would prove one of the greatest blessings 'which could be awarded by one human being to an other. Let not the Committee be stopped in their en deavour to carry out the plan. He asked but a further continuance of the —confidence of the Court to the committee, and the result, he felt satisfied, would be such as not only to justify that course, but would ac complish an endless benefit on society at large, as well as realise one of the brightest pictures in the sphere of humanity. The Learned Chairman concluded an elo quent and feeling address amidst the applause of the Court. " Mr. LAURIE said, it was impossible to have lis tened to the able and eloquent speech of the Learned Chairman, without, in a great measure, being carried with it.—(Hear.) He was, however, ene of those who thought that the visiting justices bad been kept in ignorance of the proceedings in the asylum. " A long discussion then ensued, in which Mr. Rotch, Mr. Wilks, Sir P. Laurie, Mr. Tulk, Sir J. Williams, and Mr. Wilson took part, after which the Report was received and agreed to, and ordered to be printed and circulated amongst the Magistrates." PRINCE ESTERIIA was prematurely an nounced that Prince Esterhazy had arrived in Paris on his way to London. He arrived at Frankfurt on the 7th instant, and left the day following for his destination, by way o f Wiesbaden and Brussels. As the completion of the unfinished portion of the Great Western Railway is now regarded as of the utmost importance by the shareholders, the Directors are making every possible effort to get the whole line opened at the time specified (Ist June, 1841); and we understand that some of the contractors hare had liberal offers made them to finish the works considerably within the time spe cified in their contracts.

General Bugeaud admitted that the Speech from the Throne was not of a very decided colour, but said it could not be otherwise, as it was the work of a new Cabinet, which was not yet thoroughly acquainted with the position of things. de Tocqueville said the Speech did not convey the true feelings of the nation, acd regretted the al):.ndonment of the cause of Mehemet Ali. M. de focqueville said he was an advocate for peace, but surrounded as France was, by hostile or envious nations, be did not think that the proper course to secure the maintenance of peaca was to show humility and resignation. M. Davergier de Hauranne took nearly the same line cf argument as M. de Tocqueville. SECOND BUREAU, M. de Coredles considered the Speech as unwortl y the country, and complained in strong terms of the aban donment of the cause of the Pacha of Egypt. M. de Tracy said he could not admit that France had entered into any positive engagement with Mehmet Ali, or that she had been insulted by the Treaty of the Isth of July. M. Patsy entered into a defence of the Ministry of the 12th of May, of which he was a Member. He said it was not true that England had made a proposition to force the passage of the Dardanelles. The proposition came from France. THIRD EUREAH. M. Lherbette said he would neither support the policy of the late nor that of the present Cabinet, for be saw little difference between them, except it was that the one had endeavoured to conceal its timiditp under big words, and that the other announced in its present language the humility of the acts which were to come. M. Hebert said the Speech from the Throne was digni. tied and firm. He trusted that the address would not re commend the continuation of armaments. Al. de Remusat remarked that ;;;;;), lines of policy might be laid down as regarded affairs in the East. but that the late Ministry had adopted that which the Chamber had sanctioned by its votes. FOURTH BUREAU. M. Gamier Pages said he should abstain on this occa. sion from doing more than advising the Committee to call for the production of every document connected with the Eastern question. M. de Lamartine would adopt the same reserve as the last speaker. FIFTH BUREAU. M. Odillon Barrot said, that as the President of the Cabinet of March 1, formed one of that bureau, it would be necessary for him to speak first, in order to supply the elements of discussion. _ _ NI. Thiers said that the explanations which he had to give were very long, and very considerable, and of such a delicate nature that he could only give them before the Chamber ; that he was afraid, besides, to give them before a bureau, because, in general, all that was said in the bu reaux was burlesqued, and that his explanations being of a very delicate nature, he would not expose himself to have them incorrectly reported ; that, however, if the bureau wanted summary explanations, he would give them, requesting those who would hear him to be kind enough to retain them correctly, and also to tell him what lie had stated ! _ _ . The bureau having persisted, M. Thiers complied with the wish that was expressed, and gave the following explanations :—" I entered the Cabinet of the Ist of March with the utmost regret. At home the majority was at an end, abroad a very momentous question had just arisen, and the numerous despatches which I wrote will prove that from the first day I augured unfavourably of the conclusion of the Eastern affair How ever, I accepted office, and I must therefore make known in a few words what was the state of the Eastern question when I took the helm of affairs. 1 hope I shall say nothing which can in any way wound the feelings of my predeces sors; but it must be understood that in this affair 1 will only take upon myself my portion of the responsibility. The alliance between England and France was at an end. England was completely united to Russia, Austria, and Prussia in the Eastern question; France stood alone in her opinion against the Four other Powers ; she bad asked in the moat (urinal and positive manner for the hereditary possession of Egypt and for Syria as a life interest ; she had even stated that she completely separated herself from England and the other Powers rather than give in on that point. Ido not mean to say by that that she has taken an irrevocable part, but, in short, that when I took office I found France alone against those Four European Powers, and maintaining a policy which none of them would admit. The only line of conduct which appeared to me advisable in that situation was to gain time in order that the amour propre of the coalesced negotiators might develope itself. M. Guizot was Ambassador in London. I do not think be can complain of the instructions which I gave him ; at all events, I shall wait for the public debate ; but I shall say that his efforts and mine have been the means of averting the fatal resolution of the 15th of July. We broke down, because the course by England was irrevoca bly taken. Lord Palmerston had alwayS viewed the Vice roy's power as fatal, and he always declared at every period that the only good policy was to reduce it to Egypt. The Three Powers of the Continent having promised to join him as soon as they saw that France and England were divided, he was in a position quite strong enough to make no sacrifice to France. It is very true, as some per sons said, who had derived the informatio n from a source unknown to me, that the Prussian and Austrian Ministers had insinuated to M. Guizot that perhaps Lord Palmerston might be induced to yield Syria as a life interest to the Viceroy. They stated that they would do their utmost to induce the British Minister to accomplish that object, but they never succeeded, for that proposal which we had reason to expect was never made. At all events. I recommended M. Guizot not to reject, but to accept it, ad referendum, and I sought to prevail upon the Viceroy to accept it, when the Treaty of the 1541 of July was signed. That Treaty was concealed from France. It is very true that M. Guizot knew that some matter of im portance was being prepared in the Cabinet, that he was warned of it, and that he gave notice thereof to his Govern ment; but a mystery was made of it, and he was not in formed of the signing of the Treaty until after it had takes place. I looked upon the affair not as an insult to France, but as an ill-advised proceeding, and as a rupture of the alliance, and that she had a right to bo offended. Yet such a proceeding was not of a nature to provoke war. This is my motive for the line of conduct which I pursued. Four Powers had just entered into a coalition, not like those who united in '92 to cross the Rhine the following spring, but to ruin our influence in the most important question which had arisen for a length of time. In a question in which France had a 'greater interest than the majority of the Powers who would have undertaken to resolve it she could not allow herself to be put aside. I, therefore considered that France ought to place herself in a position to obtain a mo dification of the resolutions which had been adopted in London. I should not have asked for a concession which would be a humiliation to the Four Powers, for others must not be humiliated when one does not wish to he so oneself; but some concession was necessary, in order to preserve the honour and influence of France. She re quired it, besides, out of respect for the Viceroy, for if she had not interfered in his affairs at the outset of the nego tiations, he would have unquestionably subjected the Porte, and obtained from her what he might have wished for. Such was the object of the armaments. Assuredly, ac cording to nay views, it was not with the view of prevent ing the Rhine from being crossed, for no one in Europe would have been sufficiently bold t 3 do it spontaneously, but they were for the purpose of enabling France to ne gotiate efficaciously. But, in order that these armaments alight possess some importance, it was requisite for them to be made in earnest ; a semi-armament could be but an empty measure, expensive, compromis ing, and not over honourable ; it was sheer bom bast. Nothing could be efficacious but a complete arma ment, which would be the only means of making Eu rope understand that if negotiations were not entered into on an equitable and moderate basis war might ensue. No doubt with that policy war was possible, only possible, and not certain ; but to wish at once to obtain a result in con formity to our honour, and to preserve the certainty of peace. is a thing impossible. To wish to act on the world, especially when there is one against four, and to wish at tho same time to preserve the certainty of peace, is a contradic tion unworthy of politicians. There was no need to enter into the Eastern question, but, having done so, it became necessary to extricate oneself with honour. My colleagues and myself were resolved upon the (armament of France. France was not ready, and could not be so before the spring. Until then I wished to gain time. I had resolved upon committing no rash act until the preparations appeared to be sufficiently advanced. I hoped that the Pacha of Egypt would confine himself to a vigorous defensive course, arid that if he was only half successful in the same, France, putting herself forward as an armed mediatrix, had the chance of obtaining a concession, however moderate it might be. Provided it was acknowledged that it was due to France, the honour of the latter would have appeared to me to be saved. When the bombardment of Beyrout took place, that event, which it was easy to foresee, surprised us in no way, and altered none of our resolutions; but it proved still more that activity must be resorted to. Then I asked the Crown for three things : first, to complete the armament ; secondly to convoke the Chambers forthwith, in order to ask for the cornpletement of the armament; thirdly, for the fleet to be sent to Alexandria, in order to protect that important place , and to maintai n the moral 1 power of the Egypt,ans. Those proposals were rejected. y co ll eagues and I tendered our resignations. Ai e Duke do Broglie was called in ; a transact d i o a n ys i ,o i n o dn t n a‘ e s to r . e v k e ;e n d T t e hf d it i oa r rt that e is C t h o a Chambers r ay, a s t, shouldtn twenty the in tudi.amayset t h t e i e r e reply t w h 2a e Sst i ah n g te Or r ec v el a do l bt t el h ir e t fleet should be concentrated under the command of Admirals Lalonde and Duperred ; that the tae measurese wh ibeeht mustoon- preparations which had been comme filmed ; and that with, respect to the e course would be adopted at the note e ec o li f ofth etlBrethCorocw;onhbsevras complete them, a definitive to the act of drawn out.

Th e ti me f or drawing oak-y:01j out the Speceb from the Crown was arri v ed, th e C a bi ne l o , on renewed its proposals, the principal one of which was. the a , i , ki completion of the general armament. The propokti Drthe " Cabinet not having been acceded to, the resignations were renewed, and irrevocably given in. It is not on a sinple phrase of the Speech of the Crown, it is on the ensemble of the plan which it put forth that the dissension broke out. The Cabinet neither wished for peace at any price, nor for war at the same rate ; but it wished, supported by an arms e e n \i t , in ee r e o a N r , n c e o e n t ,d conditions sabvso, which m , i ht be m t o o r e n o e g r ° l c e i s a s t e ad_ does not attack its successors.

Suchhav l e t afor f t o u r ne the m w ig i h ti t ldr f a a ti v d to war in complete, and the intention of not being expose simple remark, that the armaments of France not being any ease having become manifest, it is no longer poss ible to negotiate in an efficacious manner. M. de Ressigeac declared that in his opinion the honour of France seas not compromised, and he grounded . himself on the note of Oct. 8, by which, said he, M. Tillers had abandoned Sy r i a . M. Thiers Protested with great warmth against the sense attributed to the note of the 8:h of October. That mote, said he, the result of a Cabinet question, was discussed at great length, and I am perfectly well aware of the sense of it. It was a r e ply t o t h e act o f deposition decreed by the Porte against the Viceroy. It was a protest made, in case of war being threatened, against the idea which there might have been of destroying the Viceroy's existence. With respect to the question of boundaries, it carefully reserved ft, for it stated expressly that the fate of the present war might vary the territorial boundary which in Syria would separate the Sultan's and the Viceroy's estates. And that note contained such a serious and momentous resolution that it even became a Cabinet question. If, on the other hand, as it is put forth, it contained the abandonment of Syria, it would have contained the immediate and ccm plete solution of the Eastern question ; whence, if France had declared that she abandoned Syria, peace was signed at the very instant, since the Treaty of the 15th of July, together with its consequences, was acceded to. The proof that it did not contain the abandonment of Syria is that the concession exists still entire, and remains so at the present time. I abstain from passing any comment on my successors, and as to what they wish to do; but I will not allow an act of my administration to be resorted to in order to cover what is wished to be done after after me. M. Thiers spoke for an hour. SIXTH BUREAU. Marshal Sebastiani contended that France had entered into no engagement with Mehemet All or his son. What France desired was the power of the Ottoman empire, and not the aggrandisement of the Pacha of Egypt. • M. Lacrosse was of a different opinion. M. Dubois said that in the absence of the documents connected with the negotiations it was difficult to offer an opinion as to the policy of the late Cabinet. M. 'Pests observed that the new Cabinet had been re proached with having expressed a desire for peace in the Speech from the throne. This desire, however, was sin cere, and he was not ashamed to avow It ; but it would not be purchased by dishonour. If the honour of France or the equilibrium of Europe should be in danger, France would know how to meet the necessity for war. The lion, Minister denied that any promise of support had ever boot given to the Paella of Egypt. SEVENTH BULEAc. General Jacquerninot approved of the energetic mea sures taken by the late Ministry, but reproached them with not having employed the navy more extensively. France had not a single line-of-battle ship off the Syrian coast. Ho deplored the isolated situation of FIRIICC, and the diffi cult situation of the Government, without a single ally. M. Gustave de Beaumont asked whether the Sultan could ba considered as anything else than as a porter keep ing the keys of Constantinople, and whether there were not imminent danger of England getting possession of the Isthmus of Su. z ? M. B gnon wished that the speech had been rather more firm anti explicit. M. Curtin Gridaine, Mini-ter of Commerce, remarked that the Government had not made an engagement ler its own line of policy by stopping Ibrahim Pacha after the battle of lalazib. As for the actual conduct of the Cabi net, it had assumed the line laid down in the note of the 8 h of October, when the events of Syria were known, and were not considered as amounting to a case of war. There was a coolness between the Four Powers and France, but France had not been insulted. M Gemini was sorry to see the influence diminished in the East, and he regretted that France had not accep.cd the proposition of England, made before the coming into office of the Ministry of 12th May, to unite the French with the English fleet in the Dardanelles, because from that period the cooling of the feeling of England %I'd& to be dated. M. Cunin Gridainc explained that no proposition rela tive to entering the Dardanelles had been made by Eng land. (This denial produced a strong sensation in the bureau.) M. Roger condemned the policy of the Government as unworthy of the nation. M. Chambolle replied to General Jacqueminot, and de fended the policy of M. Thiers. EIGHTH BUREAU. M. Ladoucette called upon M. Guizot for an explanation of the conduct of the Government with respect to the Lou don treaty. M. Guizot replied that he could only give explanation on the past. His position imposed upon him the utmost reserve. M. Ladoucctte asked whether France had not promised assistance to the Pacha ? M. Guizot replied that no Cabinet, at any period, entered into any engagement with the Pacha. M. Lanyer wished to know whether the policy of the Ist of March was not different from that of the 12th of May ; whether the French Government was not warned in time of the probable conclusion of the London Treaty ; what were the causes which have prevented France from taking part in the European arrangement ? M. Guizot gave the explanations required by M. Lanver. The Ministries of the 12th of May and of the let of March both sought to resolve the question by negotiations. The Treaty of the 15th of July was nothing unforeseen for France; it was perfectly well known that if five could not 'othweersEdasidterriont citsulesshtitoone.xesluctileerlta'rlaaliteteenfriopints conic to an und ers t an di ng, t i me question would be resolved b tl y ie fo so u l r u . solution of P owers were made, but they all failed. M. Billant said that England proposed an alliance to the Cabinet of the 12th of May, in order to treat the Eastern question. England at a late period concluded with Russia that which the Cabinet of the Path of May rciused. The Cabinet of the Ist of March did, after the 15th of July, what a firm and prudent policy impo s ed upon it. lie wished for France to assume a more formidable position. M. Guizot replied to M. Billant, that in the opinion of the present Cabinet the maintenance of the Pacha was not the question. The speech of the Crown was explicit in that respect. The Cabinet admitted the note of the Bth of October. With respect to the question of armaments, the Cabinet did not coincide with the views of its pre decessors. The measures which had been already adopted in order to attain more than 480,000 men appeared sufficient to treat honourably for peace. In the present state of things there was no necessity for further armaments. The Cabinet of the Ist of March wished to put on foot 150,000 men more. It was the first step for war. If die two Cabinets agreed in many points on the late policy, there was between them a difference of appreciation as to the future. The preceding Cabinet looked upon war as alt but inevitable, whilst the new Cabinet believed in the pos sibility of maintaining peace with honour. A difference in the line of conduct necessarily resulted from that difference in the nature of viewing the future. M. Dupin approved of the language of the Crown. It did riot exclude war in the case where the interest and honour of France would impose it. NINTH RUREA U. M. de Carne attempted to trace the origin of the Treaty of the 15th of July, and declared that England in becoming a party to it, gave her adhesion to the prin. ciple of partition in the East. M. Janvier, in reply to M. Berville, refuted the at tack:: which had been made upon the Ministry of the 12th of May, and threw all the responsibility of the present position upon the Cabinet of the Ist of March. He dwelt with great force upon what he styled the want of fore sight, the illusions, the rashness, awd the rearactations of the policy of M. Thiers. The bureaux also elected the Committees upon peti tions and accounts. They are thus composed :—Petitions, M. Dugabee, the Marquis de Malleville, M. Charamaule, M. Lahaie-Jousselin, M. Enouf, M. Oger, M. Vigier, M. Meilheurat, and M. I3eudin. Accounts, MM. Luneau, Croissant, Ab. Dubois, Meynadier, Pedro- Lacaze, Din trans, de Lagrange, de l'Espinasse, and the Baron Haller..
