THE NAPOLEON PAMPHLET.

An article, signed by M. Saint-Mare Girardin, on
the pamphlet " Napoleon 111. et l'ltalie," is pub-
lished by the Dekts. We translate the most im-
portant
A war iirr Mr merely free from the contagion of the revo-
lutionary spirit, each is the assurance which the pamphlet
, gives us. Not that It considers war to be imminent or no-
. The pamphlet believes, as we ourselves have
thought, and as we still think, that the mediation of diplo-
macy can prevent war. This it also thought in Eagland.
Tbea assurance*, coming from verities quarters, encourage
us to hope for peace. We hope it the mote since the este*
getic repugnance evinced in the psmphlet against the revo-
lutionary spirit convinces us that this spirit will no longer
have a share in the camels that might urge a rupture of the
peace, and that it would hen no share in the management
Barg of the wsr.
Nothing then fur the revolution, nothing for the revolu-
tionary spirit, either in the motives fur war, should these
motives prove victorious over those for peace, or in the
direction of the leer such is the doctrine taught in the
pamphlet. We he •ray °Mackie with I', have I. ng agreed
with it. Whenever we have desired the intersection of
French diplomacy or even of Fr...ream soldiers in Italy, it
was to combat th. re the revolutionary spirit and force, so as
to swage the eider, there to the Phenol spirit, which is an
legitimate adver.ery and the certain martyr of revolution.

SOCIETY.

Lest night the =sal meeting of the members of

place, Trafalgar-squire, Sir RICH•ILD Bemuse'. is the
chair. The paper for the evening was a memorial
up= some po,nee of the law of divorce' by Mr. H.
Y. Roche, one of the anthorleed reporters of the new Court
cif Divorce. The act establishing the court of Sir °renewal'

moot of the day, replacing, as it the incoevenitmt,

have escaped from the misery of a union with the morally ceev
rime, it was only nocereary to examine the cases which had
been already &Wed there, ranging as they did from dn.
matte servants to the upper stratum of middle due society.
He regretted that the 37th clause of the act bad been re-
sorted to, as he considered the fell court the beet constituted
tribunal to judge from the demeanour of the whereas with
respect to the =sits of the petition ; whines, with • jam

glowed, under soma circumstances. an appeal to the Rouse
of Lords, it would be necessary for their lordships, in the
absence of say record of ascend below, to go afresh into
the whole case, =sin ripping up all the disporting evidence,

a shifting and fluctuating court, he would establish an ade-
quate and competent permanent tribunal. A short discus.
Won followed the reading of this paper, in which the chair-
man, Mr. Moorman, and other gentlemen took part, end the
proceedings closed with the vote of the society to Mr. Roche
