THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3f 1858.

mingling of the old royal hawse, the stern manage-
ment of a rocal father who had his head fall of his
awn prerogative, and the growing notion that
princes must hold some salaried office, to be off their
iglu's hands, and in the way of acquiring
panoply and influence. So they were sent
kith togeoured by anything that could be
sailed edioratioo, delighted to mope from the
negimial infhossmo of the paternal rule, and un-
guided by any of the securities which keep youths
of a lower rank honourable in their relations to
superiors and inferiors, and pare in their personal
conduct. They were neither able captains, high-
bred gentlemen, nor virtuous members of society.
Their failure was partly owing to the half-and-half
quality of their service ; much mote to the condition
of mind and heart which they carried out with
them; and not a little to the dubious transition
period in the history of constitutional royalty into
which they were born.

In two of these three respects the ease of our young
Princes are widely different. They are living in a time
when the higher ranks are full of the conviction that
distinction, worthy oldie name, must be won by per-
sonal desert, and when there is u much emulstion in
the peerage as out of it for the honours of authorship,
of scientific discovery, of travel, or of social
service of one kind or another. The functions
of sovereignty are comparatively fixed and agreed
upon, so that there is no sensitiveness in regard to
prerogative on the part of the Sovereign, nor jea-
lousy on that of the people ; nor those miserable
consequences in the royal household which broke ep
the virtue and the pesos of the children of the second
and third GIORGES. In this is involved the other
wide difference between the two cease, that of the
education of the royal children. The second and
third Grkaoss had no conception of the benefits of
mental culture. Like some parents of humbler rank,
they fancied that they had done very well without
learning, and they were indisposed to let their
children know mare than themselves. They used no
pains to ascertain that the nominal tasks of their
ottildzen were really an exercise and discipline of
their faculties, and an acquisition of fertilising
knowledge; and the sons and daughters grew up—.
inch as some of us saw. There is reason to believe
that the present family can really work as
well as play ; that they will enter life with
a share of knowledge and accomplishment
which will save them from the mortification of '
taking refuge in their rank from discredit as
educated members of "misty. Prince ALFILID,
especially, is believed to be a youth of eminent pro-
mime, intellectually and professionally. No words
can be necessary to point oat the difference between
their happy, free, and affectionate domestic life and
that of the race which lived under the restless eye,
fidgetty temper, and despotic will of 06010/t lIL
These fledglings go forth from a nest: the others
escaped from a cage.

There are, however, difficulties and dangers oom-
mon to tho two generations of Princes. It is not
impossible that the professional equality with which
Prince ALFRED WE out may be preserved to the
end, in his own ease and that of his brothers ; but
it would be expecting too much of human nature to
feel any confidence that it can be so. There have
been tames when it has been necessary, even re-
cently, for public opinion to pronounce against high
military rank and function being bestowed far ether
qualification than proved service. We have reamed
to have a Commander-in-Chief who had net earned
honour by achievements in the field. While human
and royal nature is what it is, this tendency to
favour rank and family will have to be guarded
against ; and the present seems to be the right mo-
ment for saying so. Let the Prince of WALES have
a profession by all means—to fill up with
honourable occupation and service the many years
which we hops will pass before he completes his
destiny ; but it will spoil the whole transaction—it
will ruin his career and his princely reputation—if
honours and powers are heaped upon him before he
has had opportunity to earn them. If his person, as
heir apparent, is too precious to be risked in active
warfare, ke must be satisfied with his profession in
and for itself, and not make it a stepping-stone to
offices and decorations which are the proper rewards
of proved ability and heroism. In like manner, let
Prince ALFRED fully share the toils and perils of naval
service; and then, if he shows himself equal to it, let
him he at the head of the navy. Only let every
step be fairly earned, and the honours of our Princes
will transcend those of all the generations interven-
ing between them and the PLANTAORKETS, who won
their spurs, and desired such fame only u was war-
ranted by their own valour, honour, and courtesy.
Under these conditions, the heart of England will
go with them in all their ways, as that heart now
swells in sympathy with the parents, when the
rising gals reminds us of our royal rover—the gallant
sailor-boy who belongs to us all.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(7110.1 ODA OWN

PARIS, TIIIIIDAT EYE:XING.

I told you long ago that there was no truth in
the rumours that the court was not going to Com-
piegne. Notwithstanding a little prudery about
expense, I apprehend that the bill for the revels
will turn out to be not much lighter than in former
years. A great many invitations are out. The
Prince Napoleon is going down on Thursday. M.
Moo, the Elpanish ambassador, is on the latest lists
of anitts. The companies of the Francsise, Gymnue,
sad Vaudeville theatres have received commands to
go to Compiegne succeesively to play before the
court.

I am extremely sorry to say that the gallant
General de Sallee has died of the wound received,
under such painful circumstances, from his half-
brother. Dr. Velpesu, who was sent for by tele-
graph from Paris, arrived at Mornas (Vancluse)
in time to sea the patient alive, but thought it Road-
visible to attempt to extract the ball. General de
&Iles, who was a deputy in the time of Louis Phi-
lippe, has been cut off at the age of 56. His wife is
the daughter of Marshal Vallee. He commanded,
as history will record, the second corps of the
French army at the decisive attack on Sebastopol
He was a brilliant general officer, and, had he lived,
would certainly have attained the highest honours
of the French army.
It is announced that M. Ravin, of the &ids, is a
candidate for the vacant seat in the Corps Lees-
leaf for the department of the Aisne.

The trial of M. de Montalembert will come on
very soon, unless indeed the "instruction " should
terminate in a nolle prouqui, u was the case on
former occasion. The manager of the Correepotviant
was examined yesterday. M. de Montalembert ar-
rived in Paris to-day from his country seat, and his
examination will take place to-morrow. It is said
that he intends to be his own counsel.

An immense number of eouronser or immortelks,
so newsreels as to amount to a political demonstra-
tion, were placed yesterday and to-day at the tomb
of General Cavaiguac, in the Montmartre Cemetery.
We read of fogs is London, while the weather here is
the most agreeable, clear, light frost that can be
conceived, and the cemeteries on this the Jour dee
Mosta are more than usually crowded.
I hear that M. Emile de Girardin has had the
misfortune to pat his shoulder out of place while
coming downstairs.

The Boone opened very heavily, and the settle-
ment in the Rente was decidedly difficult. The
quotations were, however, much firmer at the close of
hyaena The Rente, for account, after being quoted
at 72fr. 75e., left off at 72fr. 85c., with a fall of 10c.
For cash the fall was 5c., the last price being
72fr. 900. Mobilier was is demand, and rose
13fr. 750. Scarcely anything was done in railways.
The Mositeur has not made any original obser-
vations upon M. Delangle's recent circular promising
indefinite relaxations in the passport system. But
a Sew days sines it reproduced at the head of its
tbreign news (and thereby led its readers to suppose
that it adopted) an article from a London journal in
which it was stated that henceforth the inspection
of passports would be little more than nominal, and
that they were to be regarded u documents issued
for the benefit and convenience of travellers and
not for their annoyance. I hope that the ease
which I am about to mention is not to be taken as
an exemplification of the working of the new
system. On Wednesday evening, October 20, a
lady of my acquaintance, who is between 80 and
70 years of age, left Paris by the mail train for
Igegland. She was booked through to London,
and was most anxious to go on at once to the North
el England on important business. On arriving at
Celsis, she and about thirty other people were do.
Wald OD keg by the examination of passports that
when they gee to the pier the boat was gone. Their
begage had pas with it, and they were compelled,
et bar o'clock in the morning, to roam about the
greets of Calais, knocking up hotel people, to get
beds. Thus great expense, much discomfort, and
infinite annoyance were inflicted upon every one of
them by the passport system ; while to those who,
like my friend, had pressing business in England,
and had made their caloulatMns upon the through
passage, the anxiety and possible injury to which
they were subjected is incalculable.
