BILL; sub eye rats.

The Emperor Napoleon's "Life of Ciesar" is at
last in the printer's hands, the Prrase assures us. It will
fill three volumes. The first is ready, the second is in pro-
gress, and both will be published together. The third will
appear afterwards.
THE EXHIBITION RCILDINO.—A correspondent
of the Manchester Examiner writes :—'• Everything I hear
coovincis me that the government will be met with a ire.
malicious opposition to their proposal to purchase the Exhi-
biting building. No doubt the leading members of the
opposition WI I support a scheme which there can be no
doubt has really been forced on the government by a para-
mount influence. But the independent members of all sec-
tions are perfectly indignant at what they very properly
consider a flagrant job. And although one never knows
what a government and a front opposition beach can do
natal they have tried. I coulees I shall be very much sur-
prised if Lord Palmerston can carry this vote through. It
will furnish, at any rate, the main fight of the post-Whit.
suutide pencil of the session. It is true that a vote is to
be taken for fortifications ; but that will probably not be
brought forward until the house has thinned sufficiently to
facilitate its progress."
" RATIFICATION OF THE lILTRAMONTANZ AL.
OANCE."—Under this Leading the conservative Dublin
Evening Mail publishes an article apropos of Lord Derby's
speech on the Prison Ministers Bill. Our contemporary
says :—•• The telegraph brings us the intelligence of the
ratification ty Lord Derby of that treaty of alliance be-
tween 'the party' and the nltramontane papal agents which
we have been Irving to hope against hope was the un-
sanctioned writ k of Mr. Disraeli and two or three other
'trusted leaders' in the House of Commons- There can
now be no shadow of doubt that • the party' has finally
parted company from the country, and at the saute time,
from the priaziples it used as steppingatooes, into the place
and power of an organised opposition. The Earl of
Derby has manifestly nothing to gain by the attainment of
high office. lie is wealthy probably beyond his wishes.
Hu ablities and generoua disposition aware him the very
blithest position in social and public life which a private
nobleman could enjoy. There is no decorative honour
which hie sovereign could bestow which he bee not obtained.
He possesses the Garter, and doubtless values it at ila in-
Wedge worth, and would scarcely depreciate his ancient
nobility by putting on a ducal coronet. All the bead of the
house of Stanley could be supposed to covet would be that
which no mortal power could grant—the premiership of the
earls of England. It can be uo matter fur wonder, then,
that Lord Derby has cut the bond which linked him to
official political life, which must Lie valueless and iikaolue
in hie eyes."
