The bill for the liquidation of the ecclesiastical
property is still under the consideration of the
bureaux of the Chamber of Deputies, seven of
which have elected members to oppose the bill.
FLOKKNCII. Frs. &

The second bureau of the Chamber of Deputies
has decided against the bill for the liquidation of
the ecclesiastical property. There now remains to
be known only the decision of the first bureau. The
Op; tt ~ of to-day expresses the belief that the
got ,:rtinient will come to no fresh determination
with regard to the bill until after it has been pub-
licly discussed.

The Num.° Diriteo gives a positive denial to the
current rumour of a ministerial crisis.
' Thu .Ne:imic of this evening declares that the
report that the ministry proposed to dissolve par-
liament is totally unfounded.
Baron Kubeck, the new Austrian minister to the
Italian court, has arrived here.

main of thought—such is the tendency of our age, which
may be justly styled that of labour and public right.
Prosperity for energetic toilers and peace for all the well-
disposed—such is our object. The secret of finances,
about which so much perplexity is felt, is in itself very
simple ; an increase of the general wealth is the basis of
every prosperous situation ; sod the lever to lift it up is
liberty.

MINING DISTURBANCES IN BELGIUM.

THE NELSON MONUMENT AND SIR E.

The A venir National publishes s telegram from
blarchiennes, in Belgium, announcing that the
disturbances which have broken out there among
the millers still continue. Three workmen have
been killed in an encounter with the troops, and 15
Belgian soldiers have been wounded.

the style, and pertinent as the illustrations
must seem to every reader ; still, the printed
page forms but an imperfect substitute for
the spoken word. It may be said without exag-
geration that, as regards the prospects of a
lasting effect, this address is certain to be remem-
bered by those who heard it for as many years as
its faint outline will last in the memory of its
readers. This much cannot be gainsaid : not
three-fourths of the attentive audience that listened
to every word issuing from the speaker's mouth
would have read the same thoughts had they been
published in a review. And the wrapt attention of
the listeners was the most remarkable incident of
the day. The youth and the man seemed to be
equally impressed with the necessity of not losing
a word which fell from their lord rector's lips. To
many of them the philosopher who has won tho
admiration of scholars will henceforth be as a
teacher on whose happy manners grateful pupil
fondly dwell. The seed sown may produce early
fruit in the shape of independent and original
thought which would doubtless gladden the sower's
heart. By the students of St. Andrew's Mr. Mill
will be remembered, not as the famed sage who
went through the round of formal duties in
a perfunctory and indifferent way, but as one
who, sparing neither time nor convenience,
strove to point out to them, in the most
impressive terms, the path which they would
'do well to follow, who brought his intellect
to bear on the question of instilling into their
minds lessons which few other living men could
repeat with such authority or enforce with such
power, and who, accepting his office as one requir-
ing to be filled with conscientiousness instead of
formality, aimed at qualifying those of his hearers
whose years justified the anticipation to become
the noble bearers of the torch of freedom of inquiry
to an unborn generation.
Thus it was that the address appeared to be
delivered and received. There were probably
some who looked for occasions of dissatisfaction,
who came prepared to be annoyed, and were morti-
fied on account of their disappointment. It is
alleged here that the majority of this place do not
hold the liberal creed, and to such persona the
presence of a man like Mr. Mill must have been a
sore trial. In this, as in so many other things,
rumour may be a false guide, yet the thing is
by no means improbable. If the detractors
and antagonists of Mr. Mill were present when
'he addressed the students, they had the courtesy
to refrain from any marks of disapproval which
were specially noticeable by a stranger.
