fendants (Bristol and Korth Somerset railway), from
outing on their agnomens to ansaleamate with the
Great Wessorn railway company. Without hearing the
reply, the Vire-Chancellor refused the mottos, and said
great inconvenience would be occasioned by his now
restraining the defendants from finishing their line and
opening it for traffic, and Parliament might ultimately

pany. The coots of the motion would be costs in the

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

I.—THE EYES OF ALL PEOPLE are at the
present moment directed to one man—the
man who has occupied the most ptominent
position in Europe for the last ten or twelve
years, and who has gained the title of the
Arbiter of the Continent Everybody is
asking what will the Emperor of the French
do ? and everybody who reads a newspaper
is scanning the telegrams, morning and even-
ing, in hopes of discovering what this
potentate has done within the past twenty-
four hours. So far, we hear, on all sides
praises of Louis Napoleon's moderation. If
he only wanted an excuse to go to war, he has
had it amply. Prussia has turned almost
contemptuously from his peaceful proposals,
and Italy haa dared to invade the territory of
which he contemporarily holds the sore_
reignty. When the French Emperor virtually
guaranteed Austria's existence as a great
Power, in hie letter to Mr. Drouyn de Lhuys,
he could little have anticipated the important
events thnt were about to happen with un-
paralleled celerity; but having so spoken, he
cannot allow Austria to be partitioned,
especially after the confidence which Francis
Joseph has reposed in him, and he has
accepted. But even if he had no regard for
Austria, French interests would prevent him
from seeing Prussia and Italy enormously
aggrandize at the expense of Austria and the
minor States of Germany. The issue seems
pretty clear now. Austria's enemies would
drive her eastward, until only the kingdom of
Hungary and its dependencies are left to her,
appropriating to themselves respectively her
German and her Adriatic provinces ; but the
Emperor Napoleon, while willing to see
Prussia acquire "more homogeneity,, in the
north of Germany, would forbid the construc-
tion of a great Teutonic empire under King
William. Southern Germany he would leave
partly to Austria, and render partly confede-
rate, including Prussia's provinces on the left
bank of the Rhine. But the most remarkable
thing is, that the Emperor asks so little for
France—only one or two tiny districts, if
their inhabitants consent. Our last news
is, that an understanding has been arrived at.
We shall soon see whose views are to prevail,
or what will be the compromise.
