formality shocked, and continuity of consultation
and reflection broken by their glyllsl and long per-
mitted importunity. Lord DERBY, we may be 'lumina
become practically conscious of this; and It • saga-
cious and honourable man he ban leased to feel
that it will not do fir him to retain hir preheat
position of unequalled responsibility unless he is
able to devote to the performance of its duties his
entire attention. Vain he may be of his high intel-
lectual powers; bat so vain he cannot be as to
imagine that they are more than enough for the
dieebarge of his present onerous functions. If he
could by force of letters patent obtain from the
QUEEN en addition of twelve hours to the day, he
would not find much leisure to spend on exciting and
anxious pleasures ; but stinted as he is for rest atd
week to the old limit of twenty-four, he certainly
does well to rid himself peremptorily of demands oa
his time, which could only be satisfied by the upper-
closable neglect of the greatest and gravest affairs.
Nevertheless, as we have said, we are by no means
sure that with the large and influential blockhead
element of Conservatism, this act of common tense
and common propriety will do the PREMIER muck
Celllt may never be able to utter Arden-
; its recriminations on the subject but
in the back of its head, or wherever else
the seat of its retrograde sensation lies,
there will, we suspect, be a dim feeling
of dejection at such • desertion of top-boots princi-
ples. The good old times will sorrowfully be re-
curred to, when Whig Prime Ministers sat up all
night at whist, and Tory Prime Ministers frequently
went to bed drunk. Were not those the days
when the glory, or at leant the Debt, of England
rose with unchecked and paralleled rapidity year
after year? It must be a melancholy eight in the
eyes of thorough bred Toryism to see a man like
Lord Daisy, at his time of life, condescending to
take lessons in diligence, care, and application from
his own sou, and publicly annotioeing his intention
of selling his brown fillies, and keeping in future
nothing but blue books! But to the sober, stop-
keeping, sub-marine, message-sending intelligence of
the community, the fact will wear a very different
aspect ; and for ourselves the only regret we have to
express on the occasion is that Lord DR/UIY will not
find it as easy to get rid of the political vices of hie
party mho besot the pride and Owners of his stud.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
max or. OWN OORILIPONDINT.)

PARIS, 8011/DAY ETZNINO.
is, no Pays takes upon itself to deny the statement
in the English journals that the commander of the
French forces at Canton put to desth all the inha-
bitants of a street in Canton, to avenge the murder
Pt a French sailor. It says that the murderers,
dues in number, were taken and regularly tried and
executed, after having confessed their crime.
Lord de Redcliffe arrived in Paris at an early
hour this morning, ea roots for Constantinople.
French politicians are at sixes and sevens to know
what he means to do when he gets there. That he
is merely going on private affairs is one version, but
of course few believe that, and the wildest conjec-
tures of his intentions are hassrded.

General de Mactefahon is preparing to leave in a
few days for Algiers, whore he will receive Prince
Napoleon, who will visit the colony about the mid-
dle of this month.

It is probably not generally known that General
MacMahon is the son-in-law of the Duke de Cars,
one of the heads of the Legitimist party.
M. Fonld has recovered from his slight illness. A
letter from Vichy, dated yesterday, states that he
had had an attack of " nephritic colic," which had
passed off without any serious consequences, and
that he is now taking his usual daily walks.
The affair of the protestants at Manbeuge will not
be suffered to drop lightly. A protestant synod,
which holds its meetings in the memorable disttict
of the Cevennes, with the view of maintaining pro-
testant unity, has resolved to memorialise the Coun-
cil of State, and demand a reversal of the decision of
the Bub• Prefect of Maubenge, on the ground of an
abuse of authority. As M. Prevost Paradol very
justly remarks in the Dumas to-day, protestant.
in France are absolutely at the mercy of the
government. They have been so long accus-
tomed to enjoy the liberty which the constitu-
tion proclaims in principle that they do not
seem to be aware of the laws under which
they live. The Prefect is not obliged to give any
legal reason for shutting up a protestant chapel.
The Council of State may indeed be appealed to,
but it decides according to its good pleasure, or its
instructions, and not as a court of law. M. Paradol
observes that the senate, as the guardian of the
constitution, is the only tribunal of the last resort
to which the protestant. can appeal for the redress
of their grievances. This is quite true, but then
M. Paradol could not very safely say, in a French
paper, that the senate is a tribunal which has never
yet pronounced any judgment, and that the con-
stitution, which has (theoretically) invested it with
a " preponderating " power, has entirely omitted to
provide any machinery for rendering its judgments
executory.
A Belgian Custom-house officer has raised the
important question (not yet decided) whether the
miraculous Salette water is not liable to import
duty .. a French liqueur. The decision of the
authorities will naturally make a precedent appli-
cable to the can of the fountain of Lourdes.

The most serious practical attempt that I h►ve
yet heard of to carry into effect Count de Moray's
doctrines of decentralisation is seriously stated to
have occurred at St. Quentin. The sub-prefect
located in that town has, without referring to Paris,
and on his own responsibility, authorised the police
to keep • " crinolinoraster" at the door of the pub-
lic ball-rooms. Every lady who from her appearance
strikes the eye of the officer on duty as likely to
occupy more than a reasonable portion of room is
compelled to submit to measurement, and to pay,
according to • graduated scale, for every inch in
excess of the regulation standard.
The flowery vales and peaceful shales of Fon-
teaay-aux-Rome were yesterday startled by war's
dreadful clamour. In a " mighty convenient spot,"
selected in the midst of those sylvan retreats where
Parisian children are wont to look for the earliest
violets of spring and the first strawberry of summer,
two journalists, M. A. Driven, of the Siiels, and M.
Vaudrin, of the Pays, met to measure swords
in deadly strife. " A word unkind, or wrongly
taken," said to have been followed by a " slight
blow," lad to the combat. After several " passes,"
without any other result than a trivial rent in M.
Delvau's shirt, the seconds interfered, and declared
that " honour was satisfied."

The Prefect of the Ile-et-Vilaine has had the
Emperor's Rennes speech translated into Breton
. patoi s : 100,000 copies have been printed and the
Mayors and functionaries of the five departments
into which encient Brittany is now divided have
reoeived orders to circulate the document to the ut-
most of their power.
It is reported that en important meeting will be
held in Paris in the month of November, in further-
ance of the plan for piercing the Isthmus of Boer.,
which the Paris journals cite from the Daily News.
