to become emperor, by terrifying the igoorant into voting

the okenasstmess present to my memory there is
one whit I think worth mentioning, as it serves to bring
out into stronger relief the hard disposition that was evinced
by his eel:mould conduct. One afternoon he was telling
me the particulars of his fakir, at Boulogne, when on a
sudden his voice eeseasd to falter ; he stopped, struggled a
moment to reprees • sob, and burst into teen.
The next day we west out to take a walk over the narrow

ate him still, his heed reclining, walking with slow=
sad speaking in • tow voice, es if fearful lest the wind

now wee about ths " History of the Rowan Emperors," as
written in a book which Louis Bonaparte admired very
mach, on amount of the partiality shown by the author
for those tyrants wham Tacoma breaded with erselast-
lag Infamy. In Loris Bonaparte's opinion, Teams was in
the Vrang, and the modern author in the right. I bad not
reed the beak so warmly peaked, but I wee not at • loss to
gum the meet onion why Lenin Bonaparte praised it. So
I took the oppooke side of the quenUtm, is a somewhat ex-
cited maaw, which called forth on his part a recommenda-
tion I little anticipated. " Pray, speak low," he whispered,
sad turning round, be pointed to a men who, wrapt up in a
cloak, followed at a short distance, without losing sight of
u+. Louie Bonaparte does not remember now, certainly, but
I do, that he availed himself of the opportunity to expatiate
on the wretchedness of that policy which needs a dark army
of spies, takes root in the filthiest recesses of human nature,
and glories In the very degradation of its agents.
My visit drawing near its close, I thought it my duty to
make a Met appeal both to his ration sod to bin hart ; I
said to him
_

" Remember, the Rmpire was the Emperor. Can the
Emperor rise again? The march of time has made for us
new conditions of life. The France of our days to no longer
the France of fifty year, since. The idea of labour has out-
stepped the passion of battle+. Other armirations and other
wants cell for other institutiona and other heroes. People
have ceased placing their ambition in blindly. putting on a
uniform to go to kill and die. The question le no longer to
rule and amaze men, but to reader them good and happy.
No, no; Napoleon, should he rise again, would not repeat
himself. Could any one achieve with his name what
he, he our days, could not do with his genius P
Were the empire to revive, it would only be in the
of a bloody meteor. Under the away of your e
uncle,
despotism was at least wrapt up in the purple mantle
of military glory, and even this could not too well hide
from the nation the direful seeleton, but she became hor-
rided. Remember that France let Napoleon fall because his
power had grown too heavy to be borne any longer. Had he
not been abandoned by France, he would never have met hie
doom et Waterloo. Remember how he died ; remember
where he died. Whether it be absolutely impossible to bap-
tise In blood a new monarchy, and to maintain it for a time
' by announding Paris with soldiers by smuggling spies
everywhere, by gagging the press, by immersing France in
the abject worship -al the cash-box, and by restoring their
worn-out liveries to senators and valets, is more than I will
venture to say. But what would a sceptre be worth held
upon any such conditions ? Believe me, there is really
nothing acceptable in France but a republic, provided it be
Mae to its ple, because the republic is the only fit go-
vernment or a nation in whose mind the revolutionary
teaching of half • century has riveted the principle of equa-
lity. The republic is the necarary survivor of whatever
momentary despotism circumstances may beget. Give up,
then, that part of a pretender for which you lack a stage.
Trust your disinterestedness with the care of your destiny.
Dare to become and to declare yourself a republican."
Not only did Louis Bonaparte land en ear to this my lan-
=but he seemed intr to eseed by it a degree warmly to
meted. When I took my leave of him his eyes were
moistened with Mans and he clasped me in his arms so
eagerly that I could not help being moved. Descending the
etaircese, I heard him cry. out, with a laugh, as he stood on
the landing, "dh eh! n oublies pea d'embraseer pour mot
Madero* Gordon ;" and so we parted.
From the period of my leaving Ham until Louis Bona-
parte's liberation he occasionally communicated with me
through a mutual friend, on matters purely personal, but in a
way calculated to give me reason to hope he would come to
the manly resolution of declaring himself republican. This
hops may be found expressed In a private letter of mine
to Wm which, when offering himself as a candidate for the
Presidency, he published, without taking my permission,
with a view to delude the Parisian workmen into voting for

After his escape from Ham our relations waft completely
suspended. Nor did I see him when he came over to Paris,
at the time of the Revolution of February, and made so warm
• tender of his pervices to the republic, as represented by the
Provisional Government.

was lamed yesterday showing what reformatory schools have
bean certified and sanctioned by the Secretary of State, under
the statutes 17 and 18 Yid., c. 74, and 17 and 18 yid., e.

collectively acoommodation for 2,820 inmates. The actual
number of inmate* is, in the protestant schools, 1,704, and
in the catholic school,* 652, of both Retro. There are In

the proper mode of administering the estate of a Yr. John
Browns Bell, who was the proprietor of the newspapers ilie
Nn of the Weeli and the Niguel. Is 1838 the testator
had covenanted with the trustees of his eon's marriage settle-
ment to devise and bequeath to them one full fourth part of
his real and personal estate, subject to one full fourth part of
Ma debts, and an default thereof that his labs, deviates,
executors, ant administrators should many and the
mama to the trustees. He also covenanted that if he should
give away during his life any to the volt amt 1001. or
upwards, the value thereof should be considered, hr the pur-
pose of the former covenant, as part of the metal main
The testator made no devise or bequest in perfixmasoe of the
covenant, but specifically bequeathed the newspaper p=
upon certain other trusts. He died in 1866. The
interested order the consent claimed a sped& fourth of the
newspapers, end of the profits made ante the testator's
death. Bat the Haan of the Rolls had that they were only

BANNING COMPANY.

This was • motion to restrain the further prosecution of an
action against the above company by a creditor named Tem-
perwy. It appeared that the bank stopped payment on the
26th Nov., 1867, and that the sotion in question commenced
on the 30th of the December following. An arrangement
weal made between Mr. Temperney and the beak under which
• judge's order wee given for the amount of 2,6901. The
Leeds ;nation having directed the winding-up of the com-
pany, this motion wee now made in order to prevent Mr.
Temperney obtaining a priority over other creditors.
Mr. Belly, Mr. Toiler, Mr. Cmcinsell, and Mr. Tiring
represented the parties.
ico-Chaneellor thought that Mr. Teen ought
to have the basset of the judge's order, as, but kr the
arrangement under which that wee given, he would are this
have obtained judgment against the company. But this was
the whole of what his contract with the company entitled
him to, and the injunction would therefore go to the extent of
restraining him from obtaining execution.

They had remitted • portion of the mossy dm to Round

His Honour thought the bankrupts had made a mistal

they had not kept the money themselves.

paper. That was a faot which the court could not shut its
eyes to.
His Honour observed that the books had been wall kept,
and that was very strong evidence of bona fides. Three
pante were alleged against them bankrupts. One of them
it was impossible to answer satiefeetorily, or to say that they
ought not to receive the censure and reprobation of the
court. As agelltS, they had received a considerable
amount on sotiolmt of Mr. Haden, and instead of reigeti:si
to it him they had permitted it to go into their
fends. Nothing could Justify an agent who received
money for a principal, and was bound to pay it
over when called upon, in appropriating it to his

against the insolvent. He was melded for the outs, and
bad been committed by the Court of Chancery, at the snit
of Mr. Whitehurst, who wee inserted in the schedule as •

Freeman was called upon, and hence hie debt of 231. He

something like a jerk at her dress' she put her hand down,
end caught the prisoner's hand in her pocket. She grasped
the prisoner's hand, and, notwithstanding his struggle to

of bacon under his handkerchief. She saw no mere of him.
She waited et the door to see if he would return. She
thought at first that he had taken the bacon for a joke. She
had known the prisoner for some time. She went across the
road to her husband, who was talking to a young man, and
told him that the inspector had taken • second piece of bacon
She afterwards told her landlady, who informed Mr. Page.
She did not like to tell Mr. Page.
In arose-examination by Mr. Lewis the witness strict that
she did not know of any petition signed by the tradesmen of
Paddington to obtain the dismissal of the pi ironer.
By Mr. Ingham—The tint piece was long, and when
wrapped in the handkerchief it looked like a pair of boots
tied up. The other was • square piece. She should think
the two pieces weighed between 61bs. and fibs. Ills fees was
towards her when he took the bacon. There are gaslights
outside, and the street is very light. She could see the show
board, but not inside Mr. Page's shop. Mr. Page had been
out • minute or two before, and had looked at his goods. He
had not been inside more than two or three minutes when
the prisoner took the that piece.
Henry Palmer, • oung man living at Mr. Pannell's, a
&warmonger, opposite Mr. Page's, also deposed to having
seen the prisoner take the two pieces of bacon. What made
him watch the prisoner was in onmequence of the prisoner
having attempted • similar thing at his master's shop at the
and of last summer. He did not know the prisoner saw
witness. If he had looked be could have seen him and Mr.
Wright.
By Mr. Lewis—Witness had not seen • petition signed by
the tradesmen to obtain the dismissal of the prisoner. He
did not know whether his master had been summoned for
obetractioes by placing goods outside. There wee
tome about it. The prisoner was in hie inspector's
uniform. He should think it was more convenient for • per-
son who stole • piece of bacon to go down the Monmouth-
road than pass by the front of the shops.
John Wilshire, polls-constable No. 113 D, said he was on
duty on the night in question, and about 8 o'clock he saw
the prisoner coming down the Galway-road. He stopped
end saluted him. He asked If it was all right, and he replied
in the aMnnative._ prisosirThe had something under his
arm in a red bandlurdit4 He thought it was a pair of
boots. Witness walked on, end about forty minutes after-
wards he came round again, when Mr. Page called after him
sad said one of his inspectors had stolen some bacon, and
wanted to search his house. He was very much confused at
the annesmosment, and referred him to the pollce-station, as
he thot • search warrant was required. He did not
observe die last witness outside his shop when he passed the
Ind ties.

iir. Odin Grant, also an inspector of the D division, said
he was on duty at the station at Paddington about a quarter-
pre 9 o'clock on Monday night, when Mr. Page ems in and
him of the charge. As it was a most Itoportutt
ose he took him round do the superintendent's and
upon the arrival of Mr. Hughes he directed him to o
the 'Redstone* of anot Inventor and search the prieusse's
how. He did so, bet mold end to tram of any bacon. The
next morning he saw the wheedle', and they gave a similar
savant of what they saw aa they had just done to the
coast. At 6 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon he apprehended
the prisoner at the Msrylebooe Polios-station, and he then
declared that it waa entirelyfake, and that it was also a
tclinnallnrac7. searching he found • red silk handker-
croes-exambluttlon by Mr. Lewis, Inspector Grant far-
ther said the prisoner had been 14 years in the force, and
bore a moot excellent character. Between 6001. and 6001.
passed through the prisoner's hands weekly. There were
no marks of grease upon the handkerchieL It was perfectly
clean when he took it. He had heard at the Harylebone
Police-court tradesmen complain of the primer's severity in
summoning them for obstructions.
MY. Hughes, at the request of Mr. Lewis, got up to giro
the prisoner a good character.
Mr. Ingham said he could ant form an opinion of what he
should do with the case until he had examined Me, Page's
man. He therefore should adjourn the case until Tuesday
for that purpose. Bail was accepted.
