THE DAY'S NEWS.

The alleged personal interposition of the French
Emperor with certain of the Parisian journals in
behalf of England—causing them to contradict
their own absurd imputations of English scheming
to produce the recent insurrectionary movements
in Sicily and in 'Spain—receives a fiill meed of
praise from the Times, in one of 'its leaders of
yesterday. The extravagance and folly of imput-
ing two such opposite courses of policy to Eng-
land at one and the same time scarcely needed
the pains which the leading journal has taken in
its exposure. It would seem, however, to have
been thought an advantageous opportunity of
saying something flattering of Louis,Napoleon,
for some special reason or other no doubt; for
there is always a particular motive for what they
do in that way, in Printing-house-square. It
could be truly said a year since; that " England
stands before the world as the friend of peace,
and the friend of liberty and, self-government."
But we question if so much can 'be said of her
now—that is of her Government, of course we
mean; or if the Government be "the friend of
peace," too much of its foreign policy tends to a
totally opposite state of things. But be this as it
may, in the opinion of France, we quite agree
with our contemporary that "there is enough of
the old leaven remaining to give the insinuations
of the Pays and Pubis some currency ;" and
hence, it is added, " we may accordingly express
our satisfaction that the French Emperor should
have reproved the pr6moters of these false
reports." The satisfaction, hbwever, with us, is
deprived of most of its merit by the mistrust one
cannot but entertain of the real object, after all,
of the Imperial reproval. " No one," it is added,
"better knows than the Emperor Napoleon the
spirit and the aims of our present policy, and he
cannot but recognise the fact, that if we oppose
some' of his designs while assisting him in the
execution of others, our conduct in both cases is
regulated by a wish to see the Continent enjoy
that repose which is essential to. its prosperity,
and for which it so much longs." Now Louis
Napoleon; We rather think, will laugh in his
sleeve at this,—unless, indeed, he suspects that
the leading journalist is laughing at him, which
'is equally probable. The idea of a Bonaparte
rejoicing to see " the Continent enjoy repose !"
No wonder' that John Bull should•be considered a
gullible creature, when such blarney as this is
presented for his credit and satisfaction.
The diplomatic circular of explanation and
excuse which the Foreign. Miniiter of France,
M. Thenvenel, lately addressed to- the several
Powers of Europe, with reference more immedi-
ately to the annexation of Savoy and Nice, does
not appear to have obtained much credence, and
therefore has not succeeded in inspiring much
confidence. Nothing could well have been more
plausible than its statements were nothing
could well have been made to appear more
re-assuring. But then its, plausibility was seen
through, and its appearances were felt to be-
deceitful. Even as regards the recent aggression
beyond the north-eastern frontier of France,
which has been excused on the ground of Sar-
dinia's large acquisitions of new territories and
additional population, it is now suggested. that
" a state of things not without resemblance and
connection with that which still exists at this
day on the side of the Alps," would probably
have had to be rectified under any circumstances.
And no doubt there will, here and there, in pro-
cess of time, another and similaf " state of
things" be discovered, requiring a like rectifica-
tion. At present, any analogy between the case
of Savoy and that of Belgium, fqr instance, is
disclaimed. There• were certainly frontier inse-
curities and dangers, it is admitted, before 1830.
But, it is speciously set forth, " Belgium has been
formed, and its neutrality, acknowledged by
Europe, has covered from that time all that part of
our frontier, which was exactly the most exposed,
and for which France might feel the most yea-
sonable anxiety." Can as much, however; be
said of the. frontier towards the Rhine ? Have
the provinces of Luxembourg and the Moselle, for
instance, no intrusive position upon the frontier
of Franco ? Is there anything to 'prevent the
French Emperor taking it into his head, that
" France may feel the. most reasonable anxiety"
for her frontier there exposed to fereign incur-
sion ? Where there is the restlessness of ambi-
tion, and the spirit of aggression, the pretended
necessity of having recourse to such annexation
expedients as ti ose of Savoy and Nice can at any
time be pretended by an empire so circumstanced
as France—and by one so unscrupulous as its
present . ruler. Neighbouring. Pewers, therefore,
must be on their guard against it. " Pat not
your trust in Princes "-or, at any rate, in those
of the Bonapartist stamp—must be both adopted
and acted upon, as a principle, by the people of
every European State who wish for the blessings
of permanent peace and still advancing progress.
The . accounts just received from - India-as to

the state of the market there for English manu-
factured goods, more particularly cotton fabrics,
are very discouraging to the, Manchester people.
Such goods cannot, it seems, be sold but at a loss
of from 10 to 15. per cent., and it is asserted that
there has been no actual profit in such transac-
tions foithe last six months. Since there have
been considerable consignmentS of such goods to
India going on lately—on a larger scale, it is
said, than was ever known before—these accounts
must occasion much anxiety and apprehension.
There is, however, an important qualification of
them to be taken into consideration. " . -
Man-
chester manufacturers," it is said, " who ship on
their own account, may still be operating at a
profit, since a sacrifice of from 7 to 15 per cent.
~may fail to absorb the entire gain between the
current price of their goods and the cost at which
they are actually turned out." So that it is the
merchant, the shipper on speculation, who will
suffer from so adverSe a state of things., The
cause is no doubt to be found in the old evil of
over-trading. •
According to the views of the Iforni4 Herald,
as forcibly expressed in its leading columns of
yesterday, there is considerable cause for distrust
as to a due maintenance of our military arma-
ments in an efficient state, while they are in the
hands of the present Ministry. If pot, a party
subject at all, it is yet very much a personal one,
it is shown; and hence the danger. "The two
Ministers who are most concerned with the
matter are the War Secretary and the Chancellor
of the Exchequer. Mr;Sidney Herbert may be
an able critic and administrative theorist; but he
has disappointed public expectation in the prac-
tical application of- his extensive knowledge and
experience. Nevertheless, he is in all probability
sufficiently sincere to have been of great service
to the country had he received the necessary
stimulus from his colleagues,
,and; above all, from
Mr. Gladstone. The Chancellor of the Exchequer
is beyond doubt the 'great pUblio only in this
matter. He is officially interested in .no slight
degree with that department which runs away with
neatly thehalf of his revenue, and he has, of course,
a natural tendency, in order to lighten the burden
Which is thus imposed on his inventive faculties, to
lessen the necessities of the case. But personally
Mr. Gladstone is opposed to a large military expen-
diture even as a simple matter of English public
policy, while' his peculiar temperament gives to
this bias much additional force." Then there are
those Manchester influences—those considgratims
of cotton and calico-4o which the right hon.
gentleman has so evidently and so completely
yielded of late, which are all opposed—we will
not say to war, because the country at large is
opposed to that7---hut to those military prepara-
tions which the &end Of war must ever necessi-
tate. Money enough has been voted by the
House of Commons for our national clefences,,,
the largest sum ever voted, we believe, in a time
Of peace, has just been placed at the disposal of
the executive, and " is immediately followed
by a well-grounded complaint' against the list-
lessness and wrong-headed policy which superin-
tends its expenditure." Such a policy as that
would at any time be disadvantageous. There
can be no real economy in it under any oircum-.
stances. But; at such a conjunctUre;as the pre
sent, it is perfectly suicidal. • The fact, however,
would really sCern to be, 'that Ministers are
"unable to look at anything from a strictly
military point of view, for with Mr. Gladstone at
their head 'and Mr. Cobden at their feet nothing
is thought of but money and conciliation."..
General Lamoriciere has entered; upon the'
preliminary part of his ditties as Commander-in-
Chief of the Pontifical army, and it is said that:
he is already most hopeful of organising.. an '
efficient force-,—hoping, among other things, to
soon form a regiment of Roman Zonaves. The
Emperor of the Freuph is said .to have sanc-
tioned Lamoriciere's aceptance of the post, in the
expectation. that he will act as a check on the
of Sardinia's army in that quarter' of Italy.
Lamoricihe is a native of Nantes ; '-helbelongs to
an old. Legitimist family, who. were strongly
preposSessed in favour of the elder branch of the
Bourbons, and who fonght for the carise during
the wars of La Vendee. He was born in 1806;
and was a pupil' at the Polytechnic School in
1824 ; he two years after entered the Ecole
d'Application at Metk, and got his commission: as
second lieutenant of engineers in the beginning
of 1830. In the same year he accompanied the
expedition. to Algiers under Marshal. Bourmont,
who took the city on the sth of July,
only three weeks before the revolution which
overthrew the throne of Charles X. -He sub-
sequently served under Louis Philippe; and
then, at his downfall, under the: Provisional
Government. In the sanguinary conflict. of June,
1848, which deluged the streets of Paris with
blood, he offered. his services to his old comrade
Cavaignac, then
_head of the Government. After
the election of Prince Louis Napoleen to the
Presidency, Lamoricihe gave no systematic oppo-
sition to the Government, though he disapproved
the policy adopted on Italian affairs, and he con:.
tinned the Consistent supporter of the Republican
Constitution. At the period, of , the . Russian
intervention in Hungary in 1849 he accepted a
mission from the Presideot to the Court of St.
Petersburg, where. he arrived after the submission
of Hungary, and was received by the Emperor
Nicholas with the greatest distinction. On
learning the fate of the Odillon Barrot Ministry
he resigned his post of ambassador and returned
to Paris. He resumed his place is the Chambers,
and devoted all his influence to combat the policy
and baffle the plans of the Elysee. In the coup
d'etat of the «nd of December 'he was comprised
among the eminent men, civilians as well as
military, who were caught by order 'Of the' new
Minister of the Interior, M. de Monty, who was
then exercising the sublime vocation of saving
his country.- From that period till 1857 he
chiefly resided in Belgium. In that year the
Emperor spontaneously authorised him to return
to France, on the sudden death of one of his
children. A new sphere of Military adventure
is now opened to him, and Europe at large his a.n
interest in its issue.

IT much more concerns the interests of society
than may at first sight appear, that the people
should live in healthful situations, and have salu-
brious dwellings. Few, perhaps,, have any cor-
rect idea as to 'the immense numbers of the
people that lire_ in clusters, as it were, not only
in towns, but in large towns,—what dense masses
of human life they thus form within the nar-
rowest compass, and how liable, therefore, they
are to be made the victims of that prevalence of
a contaminated and vitiated atmosphere which is
thereby created. The dwellings of the poor—to
our shame be it said—are generally located in the
very worst neighbourhoods, in a.phyaical as well
as a moral point of view. 'And whafeier improve.:
ments may from time to time he set on foot in
our towns, with a view either to increase, the
public convenience or to promote :the public
health, their localities are commonly the last
that are thought of in carrying out any such
Object. Dampness, impurity, or whatever source
besides of noxious exhalation, or other baneful
inguence, may exist, must produce a deleterious
effect upon both body and mind; and although
this may not always be immediately. apparent in
its' actual' consequences,' yet it tells 'only too
surely and too fatally upon the constitution,
and' predisposes the body to disease, and the
mind to depression, to a' degree of
,which the
world has probably but a faint conception.
Unhappily, indeed—though: but too naturally—
the world Will not - give itself much trouble
about such things ; for. it is a selfish world, and,
cares little for what does not direCtly interfere:
with its own immediate comforts and enjoyments..
And that lassitude, that debility, that oppresSiOn,
mental and bodily, which arises fronl thoSe
.
insalubrious, those often poisonous influences, see
how fearfully it operates on the social habits of
those who suffer from it. Their only: available
relief, too generally, is in a recourse to stimulants.
" With perhaps little idea of moral responsi-
bility," as it has been well,,observed, ". and none
whatever of true enjoyment, excitement ig too
often kept up . by stimulants, and that which. is
temporary and' exceptional at length becomes
usual. Among. the very ppor, the tendency is
aggravated by the character of their cheerless
homes. A 'tan who is harassed

wearied. in body requires peace and composnre;
and theie are equally necessary if he be disposed
