The Improvement in the health of the Emperor
NapoMos—one might almost say his resovery— has
caused almost as much gratification bare as it must have
dons at Perla. It la felt that the life of the Emperor Li
now a necessity, not only for Frame, but for Europe.
With • constitutional Empire gradually developing free
Institution, under the guidance of a firm hand, thoraxes
of political freedom, as well es of order, will be sat.;
but if risiocary and extreme politicians now got into
power in what Is still the Medina country of Europe,
who oan say what would be the conssquenceat 11,
Violet Hugo, writing from Jersey, and Si. Simon,
speaking in the Congress of Peace and Liberty et
Lausanne, show es what extreme projects bays been
hatched in the minds of French republicans during their
enforced exclusion from active politica Nothing lens
than s " roiled States of Europe-- • great federal re-
public, including all the European States—will satisfy
them now. And the republio established In Prance
would doubtless mean, if taot an armed propagandism of
this ides, moral encouragement to the republicans of
Spells and Italy, and* new series of revolutions. Not
at all desiring to share in the supposed advantages of a
European federation, but wishing that every nation
should, like our own, work out its own freedom and
govern itself in an orderly manner, we fully appreciate
the importance of having a strong band at the bead of
altars in France at the present moment.
As an example of the effect which events in ?rano'
have upon the democracy everywhere, I might point to
the agitation now corned on for the release of the
Fenian prisoners. Political offenders have received an
amnesty in France, therefore every Fenian convict must
at once be sot at liberty. Certainly there is a '
difference between men conspiring against a new
Government founded in violence and on the wreck
of the national liberties, and others pretending
to meke war against a Government which hes
ondured for centuries, and only succeeding in com-
mitting isolated cud resulted outrage.. The "national'
party in Ireland will not see this difference ; and what
with the Irish element of our metropolitan population
end the cosmopolitan demoaratie soction,we have plenty
of advocates for the Fenian, here ; but it is to be hoped
the Government will not be intimideled by Trafalgar.
moan. and Hyde Park demonstration., but will wait to
*how mercy, if it is lobe shown, until it can come with
the appearance of spontaneity. Those who know anything
of public opinion in London, will be quite aware
that it is not represented by • few thousand partisans
and curious spectators at a demonstration in altar-
square. Out of our three millions of people a consider.
rablo meeting in Metronome of almost any object could
at any time be got up, but such a meeting, though Its
numbers might sound imposing, would generally re-
present but an insignificant winiority of the whole
popul..tion.
So the Albert Tummies Company is to be emn•
relterily wound up ; such is the order made by Vice- :
eh medlar dames, all the proposals for reconstruction
basin failed. It is to be hoped that something sub-
st 111 ti al will be getout of the wreck for the policy-holden,
and that the liquidation will be conducted in the spirit
of the Vindlaanollor's dictum. that "a public com-
pany I. not • a carcase to be preyed upon.' is refus-
ing the co.ts of various petitioners, his honour
delivered himself of this epigrammatic contradiction of
• notion too common among tho legal profession, and it
would be well if this axiom were •Irrays remembered by
chooser, judges and °Meier, in dealing with liquidation
cares. The end of the Albert Company will be similar
to that of the Overerd-Gurney concern. After freitlees
efforts to save a supposed goodwill, which is really
worthless, the shareholders will have to meet their
liability to thee., who have intrusted them with their
money. Now, that thinp bare taken this wore, the
question will certainly arise for decision, whether the
abareholders of the amalgamated companies are liable
. .

to the policyholders that they turned over to the I
Albert, or whether the payment of premiums by •
transferred assurer into the latter company gave a tacit
*cent to the transferenee of liability. Both the share-
holder. and the policyholders of the Albert have now
an interest lo establishing the liability of the share-
holder* of the amalgamated companies.
SOllle foolish or 'nisei:li person spread • report on
Friday evening that there had been an accident, result-
ing in the lona of several lives, on the Metropolitan Of
Underground Railway ; but fortunately there was no
fouedat on whatever for the rumour. To any redective
person, however, even this false report must give matter
for consiiieration. On the Metropolitan Railway there
is often not five minutes interval between the train.,
ani several companies use • single pair of rails ; yet
during the year. that the railway bee been open, there
hae been no grave aseident, and there have bees very
few casualties of any kind. How is this? Because
with ruck imolai.* traffic the "block" system of signal.
ling is perforce adopted. A train is
leave a station until the preceding train bee peened the
station in advance. ! have often noticed, alter a longer
delay than usual at • etation, that the signal to @tart
has bees given upon the tingling of the hell in the
telegraph office. and after that I have felt perfeetly safe
in rushing tireugh at gloomy tunnel with another train
perhaps only tome quarter of • mile in advance. Now,
why cannot this block getem, which works eo well in
this awe, and in that of other land= railway., be
extended to the whole country? It would prevent
three-fourths of the accidents.

The Byron isontroversy still drags on, Lad the latest
erootribution to it of any importance is soother letter
from Lord Wentworth. who, on the authority of certain
papers left by Lady Byron to the custody of traseees,
reiterates his denial of the truth of tars. Stowe's story.
The publiwation of thme papers, or even the lospection
of these by any person but the trustees, is forbidden by
Lady Byron's will ; and they are 'all to contain the
reel reasons for her mparation from her husband. It
would be very curious, if, after procuring the destruc-
tion of Lord Byron's autobiegrophical memories, and
directing her own impure r.ferring to her married life
to he the. withheld from inapection, Lady Byron bad
unboaorned her whole mind toe stranpr and• foreigner
like Mrs. Stowe. It is • pity, however, that we should
16. Vet., .Koo thus from inferences win•nr pinltive proof
is gaol to exi.t. If an action for libel against
Aletroesllare• .11nsziee would only lie, WO might get at
the truth of tot matter.

SPECTATOR.

Taut. FOR hiring& —The court of Assizes of the
Piut-,le-Calais, held at Ht. Omer, has just tried a stock-
ing-weaver. nanied Carcentier, for murder and high-
way robbery. The victim was a farmer, named Boulant,
of !Widen g, who arm shot through the head daring the
iii.rht of the 17th July last, while retraroin hoes the
market of Arras, where he had bean to al • lead of
barley. The five horses by which lionlant's waggon was
drawn continued their intlrOey, and reached home OD
the following morning, when the body waa found lying
in the vi hide. with the pockets tamed inside out ; a
soul of 700 f. which he had received was missing. Near
the man wee 11W:towered a horn snuff.bog, which was
afterwards traced to the accused, in whose possesaion
the porteinohnaie of the farmer was found. The jury
returned • verdict of guilty, without the admission of
attenuating eircemetancea, and Carpensler was eort-
denined t he exi ruled.

by the Rev. S. Ashton, Rey. W. Lewis. and the

which had attended the Worts of the misesonaries in
Madagascar under the present Queen, who immediately
upon the death of her predecessor gave full liberty
of consedence to all, and Mr. Williams urgently
