LONDON, MOND.I r. RINE 28.

PIULTaStr.XT—SI we stated last Monday—is to be
prorogued by her Mousers on 'lliiirsilay next; and
in a %cry short time tlw Elections will be fairly upon
us. After the wets are issued and received by the
returning oftit . IN there is little in the way of
arrangenemt to be done. llopt are then excited,
passiees roused, prtjulices embittered, divided
ti exasperated. Now, the-efore, is the time for
pat . •
explanations, forbearance, concession, and
accommoduMn. Alrt-aily there is every reason to
expert that the result of the di-solution will he to
put Lord Herne and his colleagues in a very
etmaidtrable minority in the house of Commons
—not alone on the subject of free-trade, for that the
Brummagem Ilutsper of Protection will not raise
- -but on the general question of want of confidence.
Yet, lai ge• as it is In oh:dile the majority of the Liberal
party will be. there are still her, opportunity, and
'limes to insrease it ei,nsidenth!y, it the constituencies
iu s^veral pa. ts of the kiniteom still act with that
promptitude, division, and, above all, with that unani-
mity and concord, of which the democratic party in
the United States have, in the selection of their can-
didate for the Presiderey, set the Liberals on this side
the Atlantic se admir..ble and excellent an example.
Thme arc at least three or four county seats that
• little energy will yet rescue from the hands of the
Prot. et ionists ; this re are many boroughs in which
the defeat of the Derbyites may be secured by the
withdrawal of the Liberal candidate now in excess of
the number th it can be returned. There are several in
which no Conservative will venture to appear if the
threatened contest between Liberals be averted.
There is more than one in which the Liberals, by
being reconciled to each other, would to a certainty
thect the Tory ; and there are a few where—though
e Liberals have not a large majority in the consti-
tuency—they have still margin enough to secure the
return of a proper man if he presented himself.
Of the county seats that ought to be rescued from
the now dominant local squirearchy we may point to
South Hunts. When we recollect that not many years
ago this division did return two Liberal members; that
of late the growth of its small towns must have added
very considerably to the strength of the Liberal
party; and that the northern division of Hants has
always, under lar less favourable eircuinstancts, been
able to return one Liberal, it n ill, we must say, be
very discreditable to South Hants if the Liberal part
of its constituency permit two Protectionists to be
again returned to parliament. Why, even the little
lory•ridden Isle of Wight shows them a better
example.
At the opposite extremity of England, too, there
is, in South Northumberland, a seat to be won. Of
its constituency the towns possess quite one-half, and
there Liberalism predominates: the largest landowner
in the division (Mr. W. B. Ilesemosr) is himself not
merely a Liberal, but a Liberal candidate, anxiously
desiring a Liberal colleague; a considerable body of
the squires, with Mr. C. A. liloNx, the Chairman of
Quarter Sessions, at their head, are desirous to co-
operate with the towns in returning two Liberals;
and the only candidate they have to beat is a
silly beardless boy, the grandson of Lord MAVENS-
moan., who has little, if any, local connexion
with South Northumberland. Besides, the Liberals
of this division have the provocation of the Paxcx
assault on the independence of their northern friends,
who are gallantly resisting it, and who would be
greatly encouraged in the resistance to ducal dicta-
tion by corresponding boldness and energy in the
southern part of the county. There is time to win
both scats yet if the Liberals will only unite to do it ;
and they will owe • most powerful explanation to
their party generally should they neglect this oppor-
tunity.
Of the boroughs that may be secured to the cause
of reform and improvement by the withdrawal of a
liberal now in excess of the numbers to be returned,
me may now name Brighton, Greenwich, Devouport,
Stroud, Plymouth, and Winchester. Of these the
case of Greenwich is a very provoking one. That
t. rough has always contributed two members to the
liberal party : but just now, there is danger of a Tory
bring returned, because Mr. lIONTAGIJ CHAMBERS
persists in dividing the Liberal interest against the
two Liberal sitting members. Flourishing on the
rankness of government contracts, Mr. PETER RoLT
is prepared to be profuse in his expenditure; and
nothing but unanimity and energy amongst
the Liberals will prevail against Derbyite profli-
gacy of that sort. Yet on the same principle that
Mr.CnametascomesforwardtodividettieLiberalparty
there, Mr. Davits WIRE might also present him-
self, and still further divide it. But the Attorney at
Law in this case has shown much more sense than
the Queerer counsel; and has refused to play into
the enemies' hands—a fact that very seriously aug-
ment* Mr. CHAMBERs' responsibility.
In all these cases, it is for the Liberal consti-
tuencies themselves to interpose ; to consider and
agree as to which of the three candidates are the best
men to support; and the majority having come to
a decision on that point, it is for the minority
to give way, and for the candidate with the law
chance to retire gracefully and agree-bly. Bat
far Lihetals, in the face of a desperate enemy, to go
OH quarrelling and disputing about three and four
liberal candidates, when they can barely, with the
most perfect concord, return two, is simply to play
Lard I)ERBT'B game; and, what is much more Im-
portant, to disfranchise themselves, and to do a signal
die-service to those who are more rational elsewhere.
Westminster is an instance nf encouragement being
given to the Tories by a third Liberal starting; and
we must own ourselves not a little surprised that, of
all men, Mr. CONINGIIAM should thus make an
opening for the Carlton Club. For at Brighton,—
where most undoubtedly Mr. CoNlannAM had very
strong claims on the Liberal party—not only has he
waived those claims when the liberal interest de•
inanded such a sacrifice, but in giving his support to
Mr. TRELAWNET, he clearly objects to Mr. Freaks
playing in Sussex the very sante part which he
himself is assuming at Westminster. Bo also
at the Tower Hamlets Mr. CONINGIIIM retired ;
in the face of a more likely candidate; only it seems
to appear at Westminster, where any serious split
amongst the Liberals will encourage the Tories to re-
slime thi it old tricks of intimidation, dictation, and
bribery. It is on many grounds desirable, wo
th nk, to base a man of Mr. Cost Inns
IRV'S and Lord Gonraten's opinions on the
"Isbour question" in tho House of Commons;
last to run the tisk of having a Tory returned for
Wistminster is—in the. present state of politica—too
high • price to pay for placing those opinions on the
grindstone of parliamentary discussion.
Plowing from Westrnmetes, we might select Bed-
ford as a borough where reeoncili ,tion and good feel-
rag between two Liberal candidates ought to he the
order of the day ; and lastly, of Loronghs where
an opening, with fair prospect, of imam, may still
be found for • Liberal candidate, may point to Brid-
!mt. To that place Mr. Bstil.ll, CoCLIRANY has

made his ungainly bow, in the vain hope et being
returned, but though the Liberals have a major,
rity, no emend Liberal candidate has as yet been
found. Bridport his, to be sure, an ill•repote;
but that is no reason why a seat more should be
abandoned to the 'forks; and probably the beat way
of improving the reputation of the place is to give
Mr. T. A. Mirt.tirit. n worthy colleague.
Such are some of the means and measures by which
the Liberal majority may be augmented at the gene-
ral election ; but to use them, no Selay must occur;
time recedes; and the enemy are getting desperate.

of Police, or even to the Coruna oe. State to reverie the

fit adjourned detate on the budget was then resumed.
M. Citessricier-Levaav announced that the Council
of State has. cepted the amendments proposed by the
committee iu the chapters which had been rejected by the
honer, . . . . .

The chapter containing the senators' diitations would con-
sequ nth• be transferred to that part of the budget which
minted to &notions, and a sum of 400,1*Otr. would he
strucic off from the amount allotted is the budget of the
ministi r of the interior fur works in public buildings.
The house then passed to the buddettuf receipts. and voted
all the chapters hot three almost without discussion. On the
chapter relative to stamp duties on rc4iiitration—
M. i.e Islogratestuzav said he rejoiced that the Assem-
bly had hail nothing to do with the decrees of Jan. 22,
which bad despoiled a family. They were decrees which
the country had seen with torrow, and that more out of re-
gard to the interests of the power teat mantle the decrees
than to those of the family that but suffered by them.
M. ISILLAI.LT said that these decrees hail the force of
law, and fur the rest they were wholly beside any question
before the house.. . _ . .

The three remaining articles of the budget stood over for
some formal ez-lanuttons till to-morrow, when a division
will he taken upon the whole buit4et.
The bill relative to the renewal of the councils.
general and Communal Council, which has passed
the Corps Lcgislatif today, has been completey re-
modelled by the committee, and, with the exception
of one, all the modifications introduced have been
accepted by the Council of State. The amendment
rejected by the Council of State was the met im-
portant one. The committee proposed that the pre-
sidents and seerchn ies of the councils-general should
be elected by the councils as heretofore, instead of
being nominated by the President of the Republic.
The committee did not persevere in their amend-
ment, considering the present measure only u tem-

PARIS, SUNDAY EVIOII4O.
Another blow has fallen on the press. A cum-
nosniqw, appears in the llonitcur to the following
effect : _ _

The question has been mooted if the authorisation
granted ty the Assembly, in virtue of Art. 74 of the regu-
latory decree of March S 2, 18, to one of its membe to
cause to be printed and d'4 members to
at the expense of the
latter, the speeches by him pronounced, allow the journals
to reproduce textually these speeches. There can be no
doubt of the negative. The 42nd article of the Constitution
formally interdicts journals from publishing any other re-
port of the sittings of the Corps Legislatif but that which
consists in the reproduction of the prods verbal drawn up
at the close of each sitting by the care of the president of
this Assembly.
If this notice is a fresh blow to the mangled press,
it will at least prove the best advertisement which the
speeches of MM. do Mori talembert and de kerdrel
could po,sibly have, and will make the forbidden
fruit sweeter. The government does itself more
harm by publishing throughout France a prohibition
so unnatural and absurd than all the opposition
speeches in the world, and every such communique
is more welcome to the adversoncs of Louis Napo-
leon than endless columns of parliamentary haran-
gues. Not one of them that receives this Moll/cur
of to-day, whether in exile or at home, will tail to
rub his hands with delight, and to score a point
against him in the revolutionary game which is still
playing.
The Corps Legislatif held an extraordinary meet-
ing_ to-day at twelve o'clock.
N. CALVET ILOONAT spoke against the project for making
a railway from Paris toCnerbourg by Caen. He complained
that in the distrioution of railways the south was sacrificed
to the north. He proposed that the Cherbourg line, instead
of passing by Ernie: should pass through Lisieux and
Elbeuf. -This would realise an economy of 28 millions.
Knowing, however, that his proposition would not be
adopted, he would move the adjournment of the government
bill till the seat session.

LENORMANT supported the adjournment. In his
opinion the Caen railway, instead of branching into the
Rouen line, should join that of Rennes. Upon this plan
it might be completed sooner, upon better terms, and with
greater regard to a variety of local interests.
N. Bovutza DE L'ECLI:SI also objected to the bill as it
stood. The state of the treasury demanded the utmost eco-
nomy. It would be much cheaper to make the C4en rail-
way by Chartres than according to the government scheme.
M. Laravaesaust supported the bill, as tracing the most
direct lion Crum Paris to Cherbourg.
_ _

M. Da MON TaIRTIL Was in fai our of the route by Lousier.,
which a compauy was ready to take upon terms which
would tffeet a baring of 40 millions. Why had this offer
been refused ?

la. lamina, councillor of state, said that no difference of
opinion existed as to the necea-ity of comple:ing a line to
Cherbourg with all possible speed. The bill had been at-
tacked upon three distinct grounds, the choice of the in-
, dummy, the expense, and the state of the treasury. lie
would say a word upon each of these heads. It was cer-
tain that the line proposed offered no difficulties in the exc.
cation. Yet the question had several times been brought
before the Chamber, and always adjourned. Why? Be-
muse local interests coalesced to procure the rejection of the
bill. But while they were hesitating, Bordeaux, Limoges,
and Clemiunt were daily approaching nearer to Paris, sad
getting possession of the market to the detriment of Nor-
mandy. The proposed Eno was the same that was adopted
by the law of 1818, which had settled the question. It was
the best line, and one that satisfied the greatest possible
number of local interests. Loaviers was within eight or
ben kilometres of the Rouen Railway, which therefore
parsed as it were by its gates. The line by Evreux was not
dearer than that b Louviers. According to either project
the state was to make a sacrifice of aiatcea millions. As to
the proposition that the Caen Railway should branch into
the 81. OtTRIIIiII, going to D sodArgenton, that scheme
would cost much more money. The great essential point was
to have a railway to Cherbourg as quickly as possible, by the
moat direct route; and, when they saw their neighbours
creating a formidable establishment within an hour's steam-
iag of Cherbourg, was not an hone, half an hour, even, in the
distance a matter of great importance ? It wain' this point
of view that the government line was the best. The an-
cial conditions were not unfavourable. Thesauri= of the
treasury with respect to railway enterprise was this. The
state bad undertaken to furnish 666 millitme to railw-is.
On the Ist of January, 1853, there would remain only 152
millions of this mosey to lay out. And if from this sum
they deducted the money duo to the state from the railways,
it would be found that the state would only remain re-
sponsible to the extent of 18 millions. (Much approbation.)
11 was of infinite importance that all the lines which they
were asked to vote today should be promptly finished. ff
it were otherwise France would remain in a state of infe-
riority in regard to her neighbours in which she ought not to
be. They would remember what difficulties hod always at-
tended the great project of the Lyons and Avignon Railway.
How often had it been adjourned ? But the President of
the Republic, deeply sensible of the importance to the
country of uniting the north of Frame to the south, bad in
a few days solved all the difficulties, and that railway was
now rapidly making. (Applause.) He was sure the home
would associate itseif with the grand ideas of the chief of
the state by voting the bills. 'fhe government expected it
from their enlightened seal end devoted patriotism. (Pro-
. If:mired and loud applause.)
M. Ruvuma DR Llielaliii attempted to speak, but was'
stopped by loud cries of " La cloture," from all parts of the
house.
On pawing to the articles and Cahsers des charges,
, M. UKANISR UR CASSAONAC said lust an English coin-
I pany had made an offer for the line to Cherbourg, at a re-
I I duction of 11 minimal; from the sum now proposed to be
L granted. Ile wished to know why that offer had been re-
I ! jected.
The REPORTIR said that the delegate of this company
had appeared before the committee, but he seemed to there
• rather a man looking out for a nib than a person seriously
o empowered to treat.
1 he bill was carried by 218 against 3.
I M. BILLAULT said the committee were unanimously of
i opinion that they should only express the wishes of the
• Assembly by asking that the excellent speech of M. Magne
i should be published. The house could not, however, order
r a speech to by printed unless upon the application of the
speaker himself. This being 60, the conmi:tee had over.
• I came the modesty of M. Magne, who had moved for leave
i to ;mint his speech.
The leave was unanimously granted, amidst great
applause.
The bill fur the concession to the Lyons abd Avignon
• Company of-1. The line from Islarwilles to Avignon ; '
I 2. That from Alois to Beaucaire ; J. That from Alais to the'
Great Combs' Mines; That from MontpeHer to Ceri,i '
r 6. That from Rognac to Aix; and 6. That from Marseilles
l to Toulon, was neat voted by 211 against I.

The Bordeaux sad Mite Railway Bill consists of a single
article in the following words: "TIN Minister of PuWk
Works is authorised to concede directly the railway from
Bordeaux to Cette and the lateral canal of the Garonne
according to the clauses and oontlitiuus of the ashler des
charges annexed."
A Mennen moved that the measure should he ad-
journed, on the ground that the measure had not been suf-
ficiently examined.
M. D'AusiAr thought the government ought not to
cede the canal for O'S years, localise that would make it
impossible ever to lower the tariff.
N. FIIIMY, councillor of state, said that if the easier des
charges was altered with regard to the tariff, a much larger
subvention front the state than that proposed would be nu-

Ca 141117.
M. ISOVIIIER DE L'Ectrar was oppie.ed altogether to a
railway from Bordi aux to Cette. lie thought it would be
Letter to make a line trona Bordeaux to Lyons. (Ironical
cheers.)
The bill was carried by 191 against 10,
A vast number of tel and departmental bills were then
voted without opposition.
On the bill far a credit of 120,000 fr. for the installation of
the new " imperial and Royal :11.1b,cum,"
A MEMIIEK OW:Eyed that the two adjectives in the title
were not placed in chronological order.
The bill passed.
At the conclusion of the sitting M. Billault read a
letter from M. Desjobert, the member fur the Seine
Inferieure, resigning his seat, uithuut stating any
reason.

The Corps Legislatif is occupied with its penulti-
mate sitting, and is at this moment, to the scandal of
pietism, deep in debate about railroads, while the
faithful arc hearing mass in the churches. The ob-
jection entertained by the present government to the
performance of work on a Sunday is removed in
some degree on this occasion by the wish to avoid
prolonging the deliberations of a body whose voice
has during these latter days been gathering a volume
and vehemence as much in unison with the feelings
of the country as jarring to the ear of its
ruler. The first part of tho session of yesterday
was taken up with passing bills latterly presented as
urgent. Among these the most important is that
which enables the government to expel summarily,
without check from law, front Paris and Lyons,
citizens who possess no visible means of subsistence.
It was objected to by M. de Kildrel that by arming
the executive with such extraordinary powers not
only tho rights of the tribunals were invaded, but
citizens innocent of all but poverty, alleged e.r parte,
were actually placed in a worse condition than cri-
minals, who might at least challenge the right to be
tried by judges. In connection with this fresh in-
vasion of the judicial power. M. de Kerdrel aptly
brought to remembrance the defeat which the exe-
cutive had sustained before the Court of the Seine on
the Orleans question, and quoted the pithy phrase of
Paillet on that occasion, who said that the President
might have the right to make a constitution, but that
he could not decide the simplest question of rent.
By the present bill a citizen, who is expelled by the
government on the plea of having no means of
subsistence, is not allowed any means of proving such
plea to be false. He can only appeal, after the mea-
sure of his expulsion has been effected, to the mi-
nister of police or to the Council of State. It was
proposed by several deputies that an appeal should
be allowed to the jute de pair ; but, notwithstanding
the obvious injustice of denying to the persecuted
citizens so common and unobjectionable a remedy,
the bill was carried without this amendment, because
the absurd conditions by which legislation is ham-
pered allowed the house no alternative but to throw
out the bill if the amendment was persisted in.
Meanwhile the Chamber begins to be aware that
a resolue attitude is not without its effect
in bending the most obstinate will. Amongst
other concessions wrung from the Corps Legislatif, I
may mention, besides the senators' &gallons, the
abandonment of the Rue de Strasbourg. The design
of this street was put forward in a decree upon the
eve of the election in the sth arrondissement, to
snatch the victory out of the hands of M. Carnet, an
object in which it signally failed. There could not
be a more glaring instance of disregard for the public
purse, as the streets of the faubourgs St. Denis and
St. Martin, between which the new street was
planned, are close together, and two of the most
commodious thoroughfares of the capital. Still, in
order to strike from the budget nearly half a million
devoted to this useless work, the Legislative Body
were obliged to throw out the whole chapter of
civil buildings. Their resolution in doing this
made the Conseil d'Elat yield. 'f he words with
which M. de Montalembert closed the debate are
remarkable, for he did not hesitate to characterise
the decrees of January, 22 as a spoliation which the
country had seen with grief.
The government organs state that the note of the
French government, concerning the holy places, ar-
rived at Vienna on the 22nd of June. The French
government asks Austria to use its interest with the
Divan to protect the rights of the catholic' against
the infringements of the Greek church.
I mentioned yesterday that a loan was talked of.
To-day Girurdin has an article in the Pri sse insisting
on the necessity of concluding such on operation, in
order not to leave suspended over the head of France
the weight of a floating debt, which, in certain even-
tualities, might occasion a fall of 40 francs in the
funded debt.

Madame Laffarge, who some of the Belgian jour-
nals represent to be travelling with Madame de Bo-
carme, has resided at Montpelier ever since her libe-
ration from prison. She is living in the house of
her cousin, M. Allard, the director of the insane
wards of the hospital, and it is reported that she is
about to be married to him.
