LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7.

Ittniouis are current that Parliament will be
called together dining the last week of the present
month, for the Lespetch of important business. And
with an immediate reference, no doubt, to the trial of
the gicat issue which that event is likely to hasten,
Lord Drum. is evidently preparing to exhaust every
expedient, however questionable or hazardous, that
promises to afford his desperate case any temporary
aid.
The lure is held out to Lord DALHOUSIE of the
Wurdenship for lite of the Cinque Ports. The
noble earl is but posed to be not over-burthened
with patrimonial wealth ; and as snag sinecures
of thousands a year arc becoming scarce, they
are not likely to be thrown away on doubtful
or wavering adherents. If Lord DaLtiouste, there-
fore, should upon his return to England assume the
grave responsibility of keeping up Widmer Castle as
a marine residence, we shall be at no loss to under-
stand the nature of the tenure by which he has con-
vented to hold that notable political benefice. His
Lordship was a member of Sir Roam PreL's admi-
nistrati,.n during its more liberal period; and upon
its dissolution he was regarded as a politician who
in sentiments so nearly approached the standard of
Whiggism that he was one of those to whom seats'
in the new Cabinet were offered by Lord Jolts Res-
BILL. In common with the Duke of N xwearrt.E, Lord
r: N S. anti in her inernbersof t he former Govern-
insot,he supported in the Upper House the measures
of the Whirs and severed himself both by speech
and vote front the followers of Lord DERBY. In this
course he seems to have thriven rapidly, for% hen the
Governor-Generalship of India became vacant, that
most splenuid prize of all in the oligarchic lottery
fell to him. That be knew its substantial worth,
and how it might he turned to the greatest econo-
mical account, few will be found to question. The
Whigs consoled themselves with the unprecedented
sacrifice they had made in alienating so highly.co-
veted tin Hike from their own immediate connexion,
by the wild conviction that they had thereby shown
the w-rld they were above family predilections,
—that they were as ready to recognise and reward
the liberalism discovered at the eleventh hour as that
whose inherited fidelity had been tested throughout
the beat of the day.
But what will they my or think if, after all,
the liberalism of the noble Earl shall be found to
have beeu all exhausted in the space of five vice-
regal years in Itindostan ? What if Lord DAL.
HOUSIE shall return to England Warden of the
Cinque Porte and a Derhyite P At first it was an
Mewed by the government organs that this singular
sinecure would be appropriated more waives° by the
Pans Ikiimsrea us his own peculiar perquisite.
Mannured cries of shame! were heard from gui-
les quarters at the greediness of a man pas-
seared of Lord DERBY'S fortune, monopolising the
revenues for life of such an office. And now the
sass organs will doubtless be struck with a sense
of the PREMIER'S magnanimity and tree elevation of
soul in surrendering for the benefit of his party the
lucrative custody of Widmer Castle. If a truant
Tory of decent average abilities can be won back to
the ancient told at such a cost, what generosity of
heart, what largeness of understanding, does not this
5l-like self-denial on the part of Lord DERBY
lay ? To more sceptical and common-place
fothe question may nevertheless assume a dif-
ferent form, and men may be tempted to ask one
another whether the chances of the great game
of ministerial power must not begin to grow
desperate indeed, when tho chief gambler &up
down as stakes the costly jewels that heretofore have
always been regarded as unsuitable far such a pur-
pose P To break up the remnant of the Peelite
party, would, it is imagined, tend to diminish Lord
DERBY'S difficulties, and to postpone for a season his
inevitable overthrow. And as lord DALHOUSIE is
OM of those who were formerly acknowledged as
soonest its most conspicuous officers, it is easy to
divine the heroic and chivalrous motives that, at the
,orrt crisis of the ministerial fate, have inspired
el DERBY publicly to proclaim the fact of his
having made Lord Dautourts the offer in question
.--many weeks before his answer can be known.
Bat other and far different stories are in circula-
tion which in people's minds will not unreasonably
be connected with the foregoing. Renewed proffers,
it is said, have been made to Lord PALMERSTON. A

Secretaryship of State and the leadership of the
Common, are stared as the bidding. of bankrupt
Toryism for a men of talent and experience. Any
money for a man of ability and information ! Through.
out the idle summer and the lazy autumn the empty
Cabinet has rumbled on, and yet it is ready to break
down at the first rut in the winter's road, if
some old hand " who kens and can " will
tot mercifully mount the box and take the
reins. Even Mr. DISRAELI'S particular admirers
say that "it cannot be expected he should do every-
thing ;" and they add, in • piteous under tone, that
"there is nobody else who can do anything.' And
besides, the great soul of the great conjurer has
been all this time devoted to finance: and look at
the result! Free-trade had well nigh beggared
this unfortunate empire, when, one flue; morning in
the month of March last, the Right Honourable BEN-
JANLN took his seat at the Exchequer. What an
altered empire see we now ! The funds fluctuate
between a little over and • little under par; the
harvest has been abundant; manufactures thrive;
even some of his friend Mr. HUDSON'S railway pro-
mises occasionally look as if they would be realised:
and cabinet colleagues after dinner declare that there
is nothing further caa possibly be does to heron

FRANCE.
PARIS, WIDSMIDAT Beasts&
The Pays, in an article heeded '"The charaotee of
the President's tour," esdar,ges upon thou" gkeiotr.:l
exceptional eireuinstanves' alluded to in it Psr-
signy.'s jar.; circular to the prefects, as justifying the
continiation at the public expense of a gigantic vo-
haft, to contain with the minutest particularity all
the sayings and doings in the remotest degree con-
nected with the Presidential journey. The above-
named paper says:
Ile idea of this collection has naturally proceeded from
en intelligent appieciatke of the true chsn mr and men.
iug of the tour, which resembles the marches of a conqueror
aseeoduig the capitol aerate the wavy beads of the people,
and amidst a concert of acclamations rising up to
heaven like so many hymns of gratitude and devotion.
Other sovereigns have put themselves into com-
manication with the people to study their wants,
and desires. But the grand and exceptional character
ut all Louis Napoleon's visits to the provinces consists in
this, that they have been so many interrogations addressed
to France to know from herself her wishes with regard to
her irrevocable destinies. Ile has desired before acting to
feel the throbbing ~f the heart of France, to learn her fres
and spontaneous will (rum the pulsation, and then to do it.
When after the election of December ISIS, Louis
Nepalese observed that the people did not cry
" %lye " ass " lye la Constitution!"
but only " Vire le President," " Vivo Napoleon," he
learnt to make no accosat of either the Assembly or the
constitution, and he acted ups. the boson. After the 20th
of December, 1861, he went to Strasbourg, and then he
beard the voice of the people tracin: out for him a new
path of duty, by crying Vivo Nspoleoo," Vise l'Em-
aereer." During his present journey he finds the shouts
of " Vive PErapereur universal.
From these facts the Pays, judging of the future
by the past, shrewdly draws the conclusion that the
resurrection of the empire is nigh at hand. But,—
and this to those who place implicit reliance upon
the Pays must be a comfortable alieurance,—it will
be the empire minus the war budget, and plus the
progress of industry.
The Revue Brilannies states that an application
has been made by the French government to the
English cabinet fur the original will of the Emperor
Napoleon. which has hitherto ramjet:l in the pos-
session of England.
Another discovery of the clandestine manufacture ,
of gunpowder has been made at Nismes, but it was '
carried on only with a view to sale fur sporting pur-
poses. The Bordeaux affair is perhaps not of more
importance. But a disclosure of a serious character,
tending to show the existence of a conspiracy to
assassinate the President has transpired at Moulins
in a very singular manner. When the President
passed through that town a chemist's apprentice,
named Mettle, (the cousin of the well known demo-
crat of that name, now a refugee) approached the
Prince to present a petition, and pressed so closely
upon him as to excite remark at the time. Nothing
more was thought of the circumstance until a few
days since, when Maths was found dead in his room.
He had poisoned himself with prussic acid; but he
first wrote on the wall an unfinished sentence, in which
he avowed his design to stab the President, but his
courage failed him at the moment when he should
have struck. He added that he committed suicide
to punish himself for his cowardice, that he died
a good democrat, that ho would not be an
informer, " but search and you will find." Thu
sinister injunction, coupled with the subsequent
murder of D.untuartin has naturally occasioned
a very uneasy feeling.
