made some very striking observations. He assert

that the rise in the Three per Cents. was
factitious, and the result of operations under-
taken by the government in concert with
a syndicate of bankers. The result of this pressure
was that when, for the purposes of this operation,
the government offered the public Rente at 71fr., it
was not really worth the money, and the contract
was a fraud. He attacked the precedent of M.
de Villele's attempted conversion in 1825, and
quoted at some length a speech which he
attributed to M. Fould in 1840, against the
principle of M. de Villele's measure. [lt was
subsequently statel that M. Fould had no
seat in the Chamber of Deputies till 1843, and that
the speech in question was made by his brother.]
Referring to the case of M. Mirbe, he warned the
government against exceeding its legitimate powers
by achieving a fictitious rise in the public funds,
and observed that Art. 416 of the penal
code made such an operation a misdemeanour,
punishable by imprisonment. M. Mires, who was
now lying in prison for that offence among
others, had justified his conduct by the example of
M. de Vilible. M. 011ivier then read, amidst some
interruption, extracts from two articles of the
Times, giving particulars of the loan of four mil-
lions sterling, which the Muniteur denies to have
bean effected on the part of the French govern-
ment, and milled upon the ministers without port-
folios to give explanations. He concluded by
urging economy as the only true remedy for the
financial crisis. The two milliards spent in the wars
of the Crimea and Italy—wars which he approved,
especially the latter—were, as far as regarded the
material interests of the country, just so much
money thrown into the sea. It was therefore abso-
lutely necessary to give the saving power of the
country time to recover that capital. To go on
after unproductive wars with unproductive
expenditure in time of peace, was as if a
farmer instead of giving his land proper fellows
was to run it out by sowing wheat every year.
When M. Fould had the courage to avow the
deficit he (M. 011ivier), being naturally of a hope-
ful disposition, had flattered himself that there
was to be a check to building, borrowing, and
speeding. He had heard M. Fould blamed for
his confessions, but thought for his part that no
harm was done by an avowal of faults if there was
a sincere resolution to repair them. M. Fould
had been compared to Neckar, an honest man, but
whose name was synonymous with borrowing at
high interest. He (M. 011ivier) would rather
liken him to Calonue, with his unproductive ex-
penses. The minister wanted for the present day
was a Turgot, who boldly said to Louis XVI.,
"No bankruptcy, no new taxes, and no loan."
Such a minister would enjoy an amount of
national gratitude which would far outweigh the
homage of a few speculators.
I do not analyse at any length M. Baroche's
reply to M. 011ivier, because the government view
of the question which he developed with his
wonted ability is already familiar to the European
public. He answered the objection drawn from
the penal code against the operation of artificially
propping up the public funds by the assertion that
the government was merely keeping them at their
natural price, and preventing interested specu-
lators from putting them down. That is an
argument which would manifestly justify any
manoeuvres whatever on the part of the govern-
ment; for who can contradict them when they
choose to say that the funds are only at their
" natural price 1" As to the London loan, the
following is the official text of M. Baroehe's expla-
nation of it : _

—.--- -- -- .
The government has not sought to negotiate a loan in
Litho& It has not put heel' in communication with 107

English capitalists, but it may be that French espii.dista
who had previously made arrangements with the French
government have entered upon negotiations with English
capitalists in order to enable themselves to fulfil the en.
pgement entered into by them with the Finance Munster,
A more pregnant confession of the substance of
the thing denied could scarcely be, if there ix any
truth in the proverb, " Qui facit per ilium facit
per se." When M. Baroche sat down, M. Picard
hit the nail upon the head by inquiring what
amount of commission was to be paid by govern-
ment to the syndicate of bankers who had under-
taken to prevent the Rente from going down.
M. Baroche indignantly replied that he would give
no information whatever on that subject. The
minority of 19 against the bill is considerable,
when we remember that 14 out of that number
were government nominees. M. Devinck, a great
financial authority, voted in the minority.
Prince Napoleon has asked the Prefect of the
Seine to ootain from the municipal council a vote
of 20,000 fr. for the purpose of sending working
men to see the London Universal Exhibition, and
has promised the aid of a like sum from the funds
of the committee of which he is president.
PARIS. SATURDAY EYLIDRI.
Marshal Magnan, the new Grand Master of the
Freemasons, was inaugurated this evening with ex-
traordinary pomp, at the Central Lodge, in the
Rue Cadet. Whatever dissent may exist in the
craft touching the manner of his appointment—
and it is notorious that there does exist
a great deal—nothing but harmony was apparent
on the face of this day's proceedings. No Grand
Master elected in the usual way by the voice of the
brethren was ever received by a more numerous
meeting, or with greater applause, than the Marshal
of France, who by the sic role sic juice of the
Emperor presented himself to-day to rule over the
French freemasons. The grand hall being laid out
for the banquet, the installation took place in the
minor temple, which though a very large room, was
too small to oontain all the brethren who sought an
entrance. The ante-rooms were painfully crowded
during the whole of the ceremony. About 400 sat
down to a splendid banquet. Marshal Magma
took occasion to say in the course of the even-
ing that he meant to enforce unity in
French freemasonry, and that all dissident
lodges would be dissolved. In proposing the Em-
peror's health he averred as an existing fact, what
the great King of Prussia had only suggested as an
hypothetical idea, that not a cannon could be fired
in Europe without the consent of France. At
dessert the marshal walked round the tables and
shook hands vigorously with every man present.
This adroit condescension was highly successful,
and many who lament the origin of the marshal's
masonic power are of opinion that his agreeable
manners and fair professions of an intention tocarry
out the rules of the craft as sincerely as if he had
been elevated by the voice of the community, will
make him very popular.
I mentioned yesterday that the snow melted as
fast as it fell, but in the night a frost set in more
severe than any we have had this winter, and it has
been freezing hard all day.

ABOLITION OP THE SEPARATION SYSTEM IN
ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE.

At the lent weekly meeting of the directory of
the poor, Mr. Churchwarden Stockton in the chair, a coop
mitten appointed on the 17th of December last to consider
and report whether arrangements can be made whereby all
married couples in the workhouse over the age of 60 years,
of good character, and settled in the parish or irremovable
therefrom, can live together, presented their report, It
dated that the committee hail duly considered the subject,
and they submitted • return of the number of married
couples in the workhouse who were above the age of 60
years. In order to ascertain whether similar accommoda-
tine is provided in other metropolitan workhouses, they had
received a vast amount of information from several of the
masters, and • cub-committee proceeded to the City of Lon-
don Union, and found the accommodatiou of a very impe-
der character, • day mom being provided 41 feet by 16,
and 11 feet height, with two fireplaces, each couple
being provided with two large Windsor arm chairs and •
round table, the bedroom being 14 feet by 8. The
women were employed in mending stockings, and the men,
when able, assisted about the house. On inquiry, the com-
mittee were informed that all lived harmoniously together,
and that it had no tendency to increase the number of
married couples. There were eighteen couples in this union
living together. At the second meeting an enlarged sub-
committee proceeded to the Wandsworth and Clapham
Union, and found that a large ward had been divided into
eight sleeping compartments, 8 feet by 7, with • mutation
only between, 8 feet high, which they deemed objection.
able. The present master had been hi office five yeses,
and stated he had never known the married couples to fall
out with each other ; on the contrary, they appeared grate.
fill for the favours shown them, and in his opinion it had no
tendency to increase the number of aged married
tee, couples,
or induce them to come into the union. The commit hay.
dug previously inspected Wards No. 162 and 164 in the
workhorse of St. Pancras, felt that it was unnecessary
to inspect other unions, inasmuch as for a small outlay
arrangements could be made whereby couples could be
accommodated in a far superior manner than is afforded at
the Wandsworth and Clapham Union. The committee, there-
fore. recommended the directors to fit up Ward N 0.162 asa
dormitory. and 164 as • day-room, both wards being in the
sontheru wing of the main building. The committee also
recommended that a partition seven feet high be placed at
the corridor separating these two wards from the long
corridor. The report was acumipanied with • retort' of
some 20 married couples above the age of 60 years, who,
with oue exception, expressed their gratitude for the pro.
posed change. In this latter instance both the man and the
woman were 80 years of age. The former was described as
very feeble, and in ill health, whilst the wife was in good
' sad robust health, and there was appended a note that she
refused to live with her husband, and declared that if she
Wan locoed to do so she would kill him. The report was
unanimously adopted, arid the arrangements ordered to
be carried out.

How many times (says the Illustrated News)
have we laughed, even to the aching of our sides, at the
merriment of "Mr. L ire, the Polyphonist," the lamentable
ventriloquist, who could fry eggs and bacon to the life be-
hind the scene, and make the black boy draw a cork in a
cellar 10 feet below the level of the stage, and all without
moving a facial muscle ? It pains us to hear that the old
friend of our schoolboy days is sick, and well nigh paralysed,
and poor. Hind-hearted Mr. Greenwood, of Sadler'.

The Dublin Court of Chancery was oocupied
part of Friday and Saturday with the estates of Mr. Smith
O'Brien. The Lord Chancellor dim:elated the petition of
the trustees, sat maids the trust deeds of 1848, and confirmed
the deed of 1861, by which the eldest son becomes pos.
erased of the property, paying his father 2,0301. a year
during his We, as well as charges for the support of the
younger children. Mr. Smith O'Brien was cheered on leav-
ing the court by a crowd assembled in the hall.

Dr. Lethehy recommends the following method
of detecting the presence of arsenic in wreaths and dresses:—
"Put a drop of strong liquid ammonia (liquor ammooke,
the druggist calla it) upon the green leaf, or dress, or paper,
end if it turns blue, copper is present, and copper is rarely,
if ever, present in these tissues and fibri,m without arsenic
being also present —the green compound Wing arseuite of
copper. I have tested papers end dresses in this manner
more than a hundred times, and have never failed to dis-
cover arsenic when the ammonia changes the green into
blue. It is therefore indirectly • very reliable test ; mad if
every lady would carry with her, when she is shopping, a
small phial of liquid ammonia, instead: of the usual scent
bottle, the mere touch of the wet stopper on the suspicious
green would betray the arsenical poison and settle the bud.

In its sitting on the 4th inst., the committee on
petitions in the Prussian Chamber was occupied with the
question of the Spanish protestant'. The commissioners of
the goverumeut announced that the Prussian ambassador at
Madrid had protested to the Spanish cabinet against the
barbarous sentence, and had claimed the support of the
English ambassador. The Minister of Foreign Affairs had
al*o invited the English government to join in a common
representation, while the Prussian ambassador las been
directed to continue his effort" at Madrid on behalf of the
