' The _Revue des bett.r 3:tonciet, the onlyinde pendent organ of opinion in France, contains the following observations-Lit ienseful for. the English reader to see what intelligent e,Frenchmen, essentially the friends of order and of no extreme opinions, think of the P:mperor of the French and his System of government : •• "We are convinced that France is just now in one of those critical periods when the choice between two systems, May determine the character of an historical Prance' has r ecently given proofs of her strength fully -sufficient to satisfy her akei4e peepra tor ,a long time to come t and to inspire rival powers with due respect fer her might.

If we should ettend Mill farther .our advantages abroad—if • We.shonld, allured by foreign , undertakings, yield to the temptation of making Use ofeour strength in all the complications which may arise out of the present condi tion.,el Europe, we may be sure that opportunities would not be 'wanting.

Our century, *weever, has taught sundry political and social truths ; ' we have learnt that the rights, self-government, and liberty of peoples cannot be violated with impunity by the- tyrannising caprices cf another nation, even, when that nation is bat own ; we have learnt that warlike adventtireii iii which a, nation spends the eXu berkinee of her strength do not otiti•ibilte to her great ness, but, oil the 'Contrary, to her exhaustion ; that the real sou rc es of paver consist in a good pelitical/ nrgaliisation at honie, in wealth, in labour ; lit those conditions of existence Whit% peace alone can strengthen and Make' preeperoils.

It is fo r F rance , then, or rather for her govern ment,•which has assumed the_ power and the responsi bility directing in either path; to choose between those two systems. We indulged a hope at the ebni inencement of the prestait year that the government hid made its choir's, and had come to the wise detepni natiat of bringing ,back the country :the' fraittil labouCs doneestie life.

The Times then makes the announcement that Baron Bruck was the only minister capable of managing the finances. THE LONDON REFORMATORY.—A public meeting of this institution was held on Thursday, in the lecture hall of the, Young Men's Christian Association, Alders gate-street, the Earl of Shaftesbury in the chair. The report, as read by the Rev. Charles Hunie, stated that the number of inmates in the institution on the let of April,' 1859, was 36. . Between that day and the 31st of March, 1860, the applications for admission num. bered 155. Of these three were too old for admission, and eight too young, 14 were ineligible from medical and other causes, 19 went away of their own accord after making inquiry. The remaining 111 applicants were admitted, making with the previdus inmates the number of 147 patients in the Reformatory during thoyast year: 16, however, of the former tent away during probation, and 16 others left after probation at their own request; 18 absconded, and 13 were dismissed, making a total of 63 thus removed. During the year, 32 have emigrated from the Reformatory, and 14 been removed to employment; so that on the Ist of April, 1860, there were 38 patients'; 259 have emigrated from the institution since its commencement, and 191 have, by their length of residence and good conduct, so far established 'their characters as to gain employment. There is accommodation in the institution for 80 men, but owing to the want of sufficient funds, the committee are obliged to limit the number to 50. The staff which is, requisite for the reduced number would suffice for the full establishment. This is also the case with respect to gas and coal and other supplies. From the establishment of juvenile reformatories and other causes, the funds which were once contributed to this institution have to a great extent been divided into other channels. The committee refer the public to their balance-sheet, which has been audited by a paid auditor; from which it will be seen that there is only a trifle in hand. They can mkt believe that, if this fact were known, they would be allowed to remain long in a state of uncertainty as to whether the institution can be carried on. They ear nestly appeal for necessary aid. The chairman next detailed the system of operation adopted in dealing with the patients in the Reformatory, which in general, as well as in many special cases that had fallen under his own observation, had wrought beneficially. The resuits attained by the small means at the command of the institution showed what could be done.

One day a policeman called and informed his master that he had gone through the prisons. The result was that the latter was turned away 'and was unable afterwards to gain any future employment He did not blame either officer or master, but such cases proved the necessity there existed for reformatories, where a man could have a chance of regaining his character. The difficulty that these men, in endeavouring to lead a virtuous life. had to contend with, and in coming in contact with their companions, was also very great. The latter generally awaited at the doors their coming out of gaol. His lordship concluded by refuting a few objections which bad been brought against reformatories, and eloquently and indignantly repelled the assumption that any man, however hardened in crime, was really incor rigible. Other speakers followed, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of th an k s t o the chairman:, • On. Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Edward Coxwell, the borough coroner,' concluded an adjourned at the Crown and Sceptre Inn, Bevois-valley, a snbuib of Sonthampton, into the circumstances attending the death of Elizabeth Harrison. The deceased came frem Summerton, near Glastonbury,. and,had lived in service in Dorsetshire, and latterly, at Mr. Coventry's, near Southampton ; but for three, weeks prior to her death she had " stayed with a friend, Mrs. Cross, at 12, Bevoia-valley.

She did not go to Cross's house until nett morning early, when she stated -that she had slept with the landlord's &lighter at the tYnclo Tom's Cabin. This was not the fact. She met Gre* at siio'6ltock Id the morning; told hire that she !hid get hit' breakfast, and then she went to `Mr. Cross's ; after which she met Grey at a quarter-past eight o'clock, and accompaniedhim t o C rac k nore H ar d, on the opPosite side of the Southampton Water. They rema ed at Crack nore Hard some time, and had some refreshment, and, on their return, aphotographic artist who joined them in the boat "chaffed" Grey about getting married. Grey walked through , Southampton 'With the girl, and when he parted with her near the Ordnance . Survey-office, she asked, him if he was, going, to be married to a young woman with whom he had been keeping company. He told her that he thonght he should, and the tears were ohiserved to run down her face, *1 she said that she thenght fiOr., call end ib6 ittly slii and often called to see him at his lodgings, and generally eipiessed'herself in terms of affection towards - him.

She was-unable to vomit, and was assisted to 'her bed, where she was attended ',by Mr. and Mrs. Cross, and by a nurse (Mrs. Thomas). She said she should die ; she nover'shonld get better unless she were sick, and she appeared particularly rnxieus that Mrs, Cross should not-take for sortie vinegar it cup which she had used in cleaning her teeth: She eXclairrfed, " Oh, my God !.

The Select Committee' of the Hose Of Coinnions appointed to inquire intik.the working of the present 1.4 i relating to- the office of coroner hire agreed to i l report which Was issued yesterday, together with -the minutes of -the evidenee. The cemmittee divided their inquiries into five heads :-Ist. :On what information the coroner ought Id act; 2dly. In what casc he ought" to hold inquests; 3rdly. How he ought td be fenintterated ; Athly : Whether iuty Improvement can ,be sngge,stectin the manner of electing. coroners ; sthly. Whether . any ,improvement can be made in - the summoning of jurors. With reference to the first question, " the committee are - unwilling to depriVe the coroner of the. initiative. The evidence shows that confidential or even antinyilious 'communications to the coroner frequently originate ibtinfries of the highest 'value to the public. It is far better that inquests should occasionally be held tinneces- sarily than that the chances of detecting great crimes should be diminished; and the committee are therefore of opinion that it is not expedient to interfere with the discretion which has horn time imMenlorial been vcstbd iS the Coroner.'' After considering the second question, in what cases should inquests be held, the committee recommended) that a bill should be introduced declaring the lat. They believe it to be desirable that an inquest should be held in every case of violent or unnatural death, and also that an inquest shotild be held in cases of sudden death where the cause of death is unknown, and also where, though the death is apparently natural, reasonable suspicion of criminality exists. They Would also wish to continue the rule which requires that Itti inquest should be held on my prisoner dying, from whatever cause, in the precincts of a gaol. The committee recommend that in the'same Act should he inserted a clause, to give a summary application to a judge of the Court of Queen's Bench for a rule, calling upon any coroner refusing to hold ari inquest, to show cause why such inquest should not be held. The net should entrust the power of applying for a rule to compel the coroner to hold an inquest to the Attorney General. The corn mates would also recommend that power should be given by the same act to the Home Secretary to make regulations, binding on the county police, as to the information which they are to afford to the coroner, so that the practice may become uniform throughout the country. 'raving considered the present mode of remunerating coroners, and the frequent disputes which arise between them and the Justices of the Peace with reference to their fees, the committee recommend that a regular salary shall be paid to coroners, and that the amount of the salaries shall be fixed by the amount of the fees received during the last seven years. With regard to the election of coroners the committee recommend the introduction of a bill to make uniform provision for all elections of coroners for counties. They think that the ancient constituency of freeholders, extending below 40s, should be abolished, and replaced by the Parliamentary constituency for counties. This would provide a. register, and save much inquiry and trouble. The committee recommend that the duration of elections should be limited to one day, and that the practice should, as far as possible, be assimilated to Parliamentary elections. Lastly, with regard to the summoning of jurors, "the committee are of opinion that the jury list of each county, as now regulated by statute, is the list from which coroners' jurors ought to be drawn. Attendance on due summons at inquests held in the neighbourhoods, of ten jurors, is less onerous than attendance at the assizes ; it is the performance of a duty incumbent on those qualified, and it ought to be discharged gratui tously, as well at quarter sessions as at assizes." The following lately appeared amongst the obituary announcements :—" On the 14th March, at Coldcenlos, his residence, Mr. S. Morris, father of the Rey.. Caleb Morris, aged 100 years." MORE FORGED BANK Or ENGLAND NorEs.--On Thursday, at the Wolverhampton Police-court, a woman who was committed there a week before on the charge of passing four counterfeit Bank of E ng l an d notes, at as many different mercers shops in South St a ff ordshire, was again brought up, charged with passing a counter feit £lO on the 20th of September last, at Harrogate, in Yorkshire. It seemed that on that day a woman purchased Ss. 4d. worth of hosiery at the shop of Messrs. William Greensmith and Son, dui in , . the busy period of the (lay, tendering a £lO Bank of England note in pav ment, and receiving the change ; not, however, without Mr. Greensmith's suspicions being excited that the note was not genuine. On the following day it was rejected at the Harrogate Bank, afterwards sent to the Bank of England, and ultimately returned, stamed " forged,- and accompanied by a letter from Mr. Marshall, in which that gentleman said that the note contained several marks by which it might be detected as a for gery. The chief of police at Leeds recognised Mr. Greensmith's description of the woman as that of one who had been some time about Leeds, but was then absent. At Wolverhampton, on Thursday, Mr. Green smith identified her as the woman in question. The police are still in search of the fellow who was in cgm pany with the woman when she was taken into custody. and the notes have been traced to Birmingham, but cannot be traced to any individual there._ The prisoner, who goes by the name of Sarah Jones, was taken back in custody to . Stafford, to await her trial for thb four offences in that county. 11iE DAILY TrikikS,' SATtI4DAir, 2.8 - , V 360 THE UNION BAND FRAUDS.

FRENCH 011NION OF FRENCH AFFAIRS. DEATH FROM STRYCHNIA. No doubt now exists that the misappropriation.extend4d _aver the entire five years during which itillinger was chief cashier. There is little doubt- that the greater part of -the money must have gone in Stock t xchange speculations, although a number of other channels are repelled. The lumbers and dates of all the misappro priated notes can be ascertained, add little difficulty is expected in tracing their course. A. isnmber of rumours were in circulation on Thurs day.

The prisoner, who had netlang ty say, and was undefended, was then remanded for a week. KING'S COLLEGE EVENING CLASSES.

INTERNATIONAL DECIMAL AvesocratroN.--eThe fourth annual meeting of this society was held on Thursday, Mr. Yates, P.R.S., in the chair. The chairman glanced at the progress which the metrical system was making in various parts of Europe, instancing Florence, Modena, Penile, and other portions of the Italian States where it had been successfully introduced. Mr. Leone Levi, the secretary, then read the report, which stated that the report of the Decimal Coinage Commissioners had thecked the m ,terest taken in the question by the Community at. large. The Commissioners, it was true, had reported against the pound and mils scheme; but they had directed attention to the mutual bearings of measures, weights, and coins, and had urged the need of a comprehensive grasp of the whole question before the introduction of any actual Changes. The association coincided in this view, which was the principle which th e y h a d Originally adopted, vit. to establish first the best unit of length and to Make that the basis of an entire system of measures, weights, and coins. The Imperial Academy of St. Petersburg had given in their adhesion to the principles of the asso ciation. The association hate now branches in twelve countries. The council had under consideration aproposal to establish a quarterly journal for the purpose of record ing the progress of the decimal system in this and other countries. The council have issued.a circular with view to the time now occupied in the teaching of arith metic, and how far such time could be reduced by the introduction of the decimal system ; and from reports received it appeared that more than half the time mw occupied would thereby be saved. A fourth meeting of the International Statistical Congress was to be held its London in July nett, and the council had represented to the Board of Trade the expediency of including the decimal qnestion in the programme of its deliberations. Dr. Hodgkin moved the adoption of the report, which having been seconded by Mr. Ferguson, was carried unanimously. The executive council for the ensuing year having been appointed, a deputation was nominated to wait npoirthe President of the Board of Trade with reference to the forthcoming meeting of the interna tional congress; and the proceedings terminated w ith a vote of thanks to the chairman. • Exzeurrox or Gesrenai, ORTEGA.—The _Marin of Barcelona publishes the following particulars of the execution of General Ortega, which took place, as already stated, at Tortosa, on the 18th :—" On the previous day the general was put in chapel.' accord ing to the Spanish custom. He immediately pro proceeded with the utmost composure to make his will, and settled all his family affairs even to the minutest details. Soon after, a sergeant came for the purpose of searching his person. This proceeding affected. him deeply, and he exclaimed, This was ranting to complete my humiliation a sergeant search a general !—am I then capable of committing suicide as they apprehend ? Certainly not; I shall die like a Christian !' He then took a medal of the Holy Virgin, which he wore suspended from his neck by a. gold chain, and . charged his cousin, Don Ramon Blasser, to deliver it to his mother. His confes sor, the Canon Don Benito Sanz, afterwards came, and • had a long conversation with him. At six o'clock on the morning of the 18th, he took the sacrament., and some time after had a cup of chocolate, and received sue tessively a missionary and a friend of his. a phy •sician,. both of whom were astonished at his self possession and firmness. Having been informed about ten o'clock that his execution would take place at three in the afternoon, he merely remarked, That is very late. Then he asked for a basin of soup and ate it with good appetite. At a quarter to three he was informed that his time had come. He immediately - rose, saying, 1 - am at your orders, gentlemen,' drew his loose coat round him, and took his place in the centre of the guard. As he passed the postern of the castle he took off his coat, and requested that it might be given to his. aide-de-camp, Moreno. On hearing the roll of the drums, he exclaimed, 'My God ! you, who were innocent, also euffered these humiliating preparations ; it is just that. I, who am . guilty, should undergo them too' His voice was unfaltering, and his step firm. On entering the middle of the square formed by the troops, he noticed the people crowding round, and. said, The Lord also allowed the people to be present at his execution.' He knelt tinder the flag to hear his sentence read. On being conducted to the fatal spot, he inquired, Hew must I place myself ?'

THE NEW SYtiTEM, OF BREAD MAKING.-At the meeting of the Society of Art on 'Wednesday evening, Edwin Lankester, Esq., M.D., F.R.S . , i n the chair; the paper 'was read " On a New System of Vied Manu facture," by Dr: Danglish. 'The author pointed out that bread making essentially consists an completely in: corporating flour, water, salt, an d car b onic ac i d with each other in such a manner as that they shall form a tenacious elastic, and bulky mass, in which the aeriforni constituent, bears to the solid a propertion of about three or four to one, and which, on being placed in the oven and thoroughly • baked, • shall swell to about double_this proportion. The usual mode of obtaining the aeriform constitnent was by promoting the fermentation or transformation of the ,starch or glucose in the dough into alcohol and carbonic acid, the latter being the only product desired. This process occu pied a considerable time, and:involved great uncertainty. The Iprocess which the authoiri had invented, and which had been extensively carried out, essentially consisted in doing away entirely with fermentation; and Nvitti:all those chemical changes in the constituents of the flour which are consequent upon it ; • and having obtained the necessary carbonic acid independently of, :and separate from, the flour, incorporating the materials, including the carbonic acid, wholly by mechanical mans, so as to secure the bulky elastic mas s , w hi c h i s capa bl e o f b e i ng b a k e d i nto li ght spongy bread. The new process reduced the time neces- Sary for the preparation of the dough from eight . to • twelve hours to less Allan thirty minutes, and the results were oertain and uniform. No spoiling or degra.- , dation of gout taking place,: as in the ordinary process of fermentation, the quality of the bread produCed was equal to that made by the old process from a superior dour. As no change in the fleet took plies, against the evils of which alum ihad hitherto been used, there Was no gain whateier by the use of alum. The fact 'of • •the 'process hvin_g, ttim bl e of being carried-out on-a. large,scale wou ld doubtless lead to an impiovement, in the condition of the operative,--a consideration of much importance in the. baking trade. •A• discussion ensued. in .rhieh - Drs..
