Song allowance must be made Mr the supporters
of a Fakredeen ministry. A certain tinge of
Orientalists in their tropes and Spree--the habitual
um of a style of language that Is neither verso nor
prose, but something between both, or, in short,
what the vulgar call " prose run mad "—aro inevita-
ble is those who learned their politics from such
manacle as " CouinTsby," " Sibyl. and "Tattered."
No objection asa, therefore, be Made to Mr. 11. O.

Biennium—at the dinner given to the hon. I.Y.N
for South Northumberland, at Newcastle—although

The principles of this journal were legitimist; but
Ithe head and front of its offence was an article on
fusion in its number of yesterday. It has also been
thought that some remarks of the Cursaire on the
absence of any mention of the government in the
peace addresses from England had been considered
offensive. The Cbrsaire had an extensive circulation.
It is reported that its publication is to be continued
at Brussels. The President is still said to be in bad
health. The name given to his ailment is rather
vague; they call it exhaustion.
The household of the President of the Republic is
being augmented by the engagement of numerous
domestics; but they are not to commence their ser-
vice until the return from the journey tothe southern
departments. All the persons whom the President
employs have belonged to the cur pa d'elite of the
army, and most of them to the carabineers.
The Meniteur announces that the Haitian govern-
ment has paid 18,000 piastres (93,000 francs) to the
consul-general of France in satisfaction of certain
demands which the French government had made
on it for lows sustained, and for indemnities due to
French citizens.

its mincing, misty, Minerva-press strain is newlo
English political oratory. Mr. LIDDELL professed to
have "entire confidence in the ability of that
great ministerial seer, who had already con-
jured up the rision ,t* a financial system, which,
though still loomitry in distant obscurity, would
ultimately emerge from its source in the substantial
and useful shape of a well-framed budget, which—
while it maintains our national credit—will also
give relief where relief is due—and which, if he
might be allowed to use a familiar expression, would,
by relieving the foot where the shoe pinched,
enable that foot to keep pace with the rapid strides
which other rival interests wens making."
But though inflated Orientalisms are to be tole-
rated in orators of the great Caucasian school, it
must be confessed that the specimen we have just
quoted—with its budget relieving the pressure
of a shoe. and its solitary foot hopping on to
keep pace with "rival interests," is a shocking piece
of cobbler's work. So ineffably bad is it, indeed,
that one might be tempted to suspect that Mr. LID-
DELL intended it as a caricature or parody of Mr.
DISRAELI'S style. Nor is it impossible that the
haeourable member for Sou t hNort humberland,—w hen

The holders of the "lion Miguel loan" of Portu-
gal held a meeting yesterday at the Bourse, and
nominated a committee, consisting of MM. Sala,
Simon, Pavie, de Pondenss, and Darancourt, bankers,
to support their claims on the Portuguese government.
The man charged to turn the points on the St.
Germain Railway, at the spot near the Batignolles,
where the lines of the goods station of the Room'
Railway branch off, fell asleep in the night of the
lit, just before a goods train was due. Ile neglected
to turn the points previously. Aroused shortly after
by the noise of the train, he jumped up, and turned
the points. But before this was done the locomotive
and some of the waggons had passed on to the Paris
line. This mistake might have had very serious
results, but, fortunately, no material harm was done.
The man, however, was so terrified that he lost his
wits, and he cried out to the engine-driver, " Adieu!
lam a ruined man. Adieu!" Nothing was seen or
heard of him until yesterday morning, when his
body was found in the river, near Asnikes, by a
man who was dredging for sand. A medical man
declared that the body had been in the river about
four days, and that it appeared that death had been
voluntarily caused. The name of the deceased was
Barthgemy.

came isse•Ossnis of the lixtinv-DtsttAxxt party—have
not been slow to express their disgust at being com-
blled to follow at the heels of the showy " He-
rew adventurer," as they affect to call their leader.
And the chairman at Mr. I.ttinr.u.'s dinner, in pm-
log the business of the evening, was as snappish at
ministers as at the opposition; for if he spoke peta-
lantly of " the Chesham-plane compact," he spoke
quite as petulantly of " the oligarchy established in
Downing-street."
The truth is, that the enthusiasm of the squire-
archy for the Denev.DtsitAxm Ministry his sadly
abated since they began to entertain misgivings re-
specting its fidelity to Protectionist traditions. They
will not quarrel prematurely with Ministers. They
still cling to the hope that it may be Protection of
some kind that is " looming in the future." But
they can't be sure of it. And they are there-
fore constantly refreshing Ministers with deli-
cate hints that sound vastly like " Protection
or —;" the unspoken alternative only the
more terrible on account of its shadowy nue:
nature. Such a hint was given by the Linco=rein
Christopherites, when they frankly declared that
they expected more from Lord DERBY than MIN
expressions of sympathy for suffering agriculturists)
and such another hint was administered at Newcastle
by the Hon. HENRY THOMAS LIDDELL, when hs

to n-enact the corn-law, is certain. And equally cer-

TUSCANY.

Our correspondent, writing from Florence on the
3rd September, states that Guerazzis trial con-

demand that the Grand Duke himself should ap-
pear as a witness, had been rejected. Goers:as

rulers to do nothing that they talkie will endanger
their tenure of oiler. But commerce and credit are
delicate and susceptible essences; and the bare sus-
picion that an attempt may be made to restore agri-
cultural protection, may fur a time pandjec legiti-
mate speculation. It is, therefore, of the utmost
consequence that Ministers be brought to book as to
their intentions with regard to the corn-laws as soon
as possible. Lord linter stands pledged to hold the
qeestion of Protection as finally settled by the result
of the general election. He has gone so far as
to declare that even with a Protectionist majority in
the House of Commons, unless it was a very
large one, he would bold himself bound to
give up Protection. But the noble earl has
an ugly habit of shuffling out of his
most specific declarations, and substituting vague
unmeaning words when called to act upon them.
This is the game be played with his professions of
eagerness to dissolve the late parliament at an early
day. This is the game he will try to play with his
unequivocal promises to give up the corn-law for ever
unites at the general election a large majority of
Protectionists was returned. He will do his utmost
to leave it as long es possible in doubt whether he
thinks the doom of Protection finally sealed. This
cannot be tolerated, for it would inevitably intro-
duce a dangerous element of uncertainty into Mt
mercantile enterprise orspeculation. And thumbs*
as soon as Parliament mob, the Opposition
will doubtless peremptorily haslet upon an un-
equivocal answer—a plain " yes" or "no"—tram

Bo lisp the Conservative cause in South Northum-
berland can only be upheld by unlimited expendi-
ture in the registration courts, and unlimited expen-
diture at elections. An " organised system" of costly
chissue in the former, and wholesale bribery in the
other, is that whereon the Conservative member for
South Northumberland rests his faith and trust.

ROMAN STATES.

General de Cotte, aide-de-camp of the French Pre-
sident, is in Rome. The thizette (Vide& de Savoie
announces that he has taken command of a brigade
of the army of occupation, and is likely to be muned
its general in chief. The Press* of Paris doubts the
correctness of this speculation, seeing that M. de
Cotta is molly • grneral of brigade, and there is no
prospect of a reduction of the French forces at
