trious classes.
• It would be more easy to imagine than to depict
the fury of the "orderlies" upon finding themselves
thus accused of being jacobins and conventionalists,
and of disturbing time tranquillity and trade of
the country by their plots. They will no
doubt takC revenge in the ensuing discus-
sion of the law fixing the nature of the Presi-
dent's responsibilities. M. DE Seer, in the Journal
des Wllatg, seeing this new storm arise, exerts
his pen to allay it, and entreats the majority to
adjourn tho couoideration and discussion of such a
law. They are not in a fit frame of mind, he de-
clams, to legislate. Their temper is irritated to a
degree, that necessitates rash words and acts. And
he entreats the Tititatsh.s and MOLES to avoid pre-
cipitating an open collision between the Assembly
and the PnEstuENT.
Such arguments would not be publicly employed
was there nut assurance of their being welcomed and
listened to. Nor does it ill bespeak the relative po-
sition of parties, when the organs of the Elysist rush
forward to tire as tirailkurs, whilst those of the As-
sembly are employed in dissuading the main body of
the army from advancing, or fighting, or undergoing
any risk whatever fur the present.
Meantime Louts NAPOLEON, in his denouncement
of monarchist plots, has taken republican ground.
After more than three years' hesitation, he sees that it
is only as chief of the French republic that he can really
be strung • that with an attitude of imperial preten-
sions, habits of imperial profligacy, and political
community with the Fortin s and TALLEYRANDS '
of the present day, he has no chance of main-
taining even his place of President, much less
enc,rchirs his brows with an imperial crown ; he has,
• therefore, taken his stand where he should have I
`taken it at first, on that great neutral ground between
monarchic reaction and democratic insanity, where it
is evident the middle and industrious classes are 'I
ready to rally around him. The misfortune is, that
Louis .ti.tivt.Eux is personally estranged from the

TILE ACTIONS AGAINST MR— ALDERMAN SALO-
moss.—The record in the action of Chubh v. Salomon, has
been withdrawn, the object of the plaintiff being simply to
obtain a fair decision of the real question at issue. Another
action of Miller v. Salomons is pending, profe-sedly for the
same object; and, as it stands first for trial, the plaintiff in
this action has thought it only fair and proper to withdraw
for the present, to give the plaintiff in the other action every
opportunity of trying the question, which, if his action is
not collusive, there is nothing now to prevent him from
doing. The following letter has been written by the attor-
neys for the plaintiffs in this action to the attorneys for the
defendant, and a similar letter has also been addressed by
them to Mr. James Jenkyn, the attorney for the plaintiff
Miller. Notwithstanding repeated applications, the attor-
neys for the defendant and the plaintiff in the other action
have not afforded any information as to who and what Mr.
Miller is up to the present time. Mr. Alderman Salomon*
has now an opportunity, should he be sincere in his desire
to do so, to try the great constitutional question now at issue :
" 13, Gray's inn-square, Nov. 26, 1831.-011:1113 v. SALO-
cross.—Gentlemen : The object of this action was to obtain
a fair and bottafrir judicial decision upon the right of the de-
fendant to vote as a member of the House of Commons
without hissing taken the prescribed oaths. The other
action of Miller v. Salomons, commenced after ours, we, fir
the present, presume was for the same object ; and whether
such a decision be obtained fairly iu the one action or the
other, is of secondary importanee to our client, who brought
his action, according to an invitation of the defendant him-
self, to try a great constitutional question. We find that
the action of Miller v. Salomon, stands first for trial ; and,
in lull reliance and expectation that such action will be fairly
tried upon its merits, we beg to inform you that we have
withdrawn the record in than action, fully intending that if
the other action be not so conducted to trial at the present
sittings as to satisfy us that there has been no collusion or
unfair management, we shall renew the notice for the next
sitting., and then assuredly proceed to trial. We have not
been able to ascertain who and what the plaintiff ' Miller,'
is, and you will oblige us by furnishing us with his place of
alio& and quality.—We are, gentlemen, your obedient ser-
i saints, Clitlin and DEA:sr..—Messrs. Hodgson, Concanen,
and Cu., Lincoln's-inn-fields."

TIIE PEEL PENNY SUBSCRIPTION.—To the Editor
of the Times.—Sir,—l see a letter in your paper of yester.
day, asking "What has become of the Peel's working-
men's penny subscription." I have the satisfaction to in-
form the inquirer that the subscription has been closed, and
all the accounts audited and settled by the committee, the
amount being about 1,7001. sterling, which is in the Bank,
and that on my return to London measures will be adopted
by the committee and trustees fur the application of the
funds in the manner that shall appear to them the best cal-
culated to carry out the resolutions agreed to at the public
meeting at the Whittington Club.—l remain, your obedient
servant, JOSECII HUME, Chairman of the Committee.—

BARNET AND NORTH METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.—
A long argument from Mr. Roxburgh was yesterday held in
this matter, with the view of making the provisional com-

debts incurred after the period of their acceptance of ►hares.
