Guernsey. Ths visit of Madame Hugo to the French espital
(says Galipsemw), was rendered necemary by the state of
health of bee daughter, who has been much benefited by
the change of sir.

THE HIATEN-BENT MINISTER.--.The Lord Mayo,
ham done it all. It wee under the Lord Mayor
that Mr. Gibson upset Lord Palmerston's adroistie-
nation. It wa. through the Lord Mayor that the Qum
sent for Lord Derby sad commissioned him to form tie
present government. People wondered at the time, bat
now the secret is out. It was all owing to the Lord
Mayor's prayers. The Lord Mayor, it appears, her
been peeves heaven to great him the blusin
of entertaining Lord Derby u Prime Minister,
and be now devoutly thanks heaven that We
prayer has been heard. While he was about it, he
might surely as well have added to his supplication • prayer
for a headmene majority for the minister, to the end that he
might be more comfortably and securely seated in power
than he is et present. Perhaps it may not be too late for
the Lord Mayor to mike this little amendment, as we
suppers
the efficiency of his aldermanic prayers are not
limited to the quality of dinner company. Be that as it may,
Lord Derby is a heaven-seat minister—a minister for the
special purpose of making • Lord Mayor happy by dieing
with him.—Zzaristasr.

HEREDITARY REPRESENTATION.—Sir Edward
Dearing, in 1642, wee disabled from publishing the speeches
which he made to parliament es member for Kest, and it is
only a few weeks since one of his descendants resigned the
representation of that shire. Then, as now, the Bolters
were connected with the representation of the south-west of
England; the Evelyn. then eat for boroughs in Surrey, and
in our day a member of that family has represented a divi-
sion of the shire ; a Fitswilliam sat for Peterborough in the
Long Parliament; a Herbert (than, as now) sat for Wilt-
shire; a Howard eat for Carlisle, an Irby for Boston, a Jar-
myn for Bury St. Edmunds, a Kekewich for Liskeard, Sir
Norton Knatchbull for Romney, a Knightle7 for Northamp-
ton, Sir Edward Littleton for Staffordshire, Sir William
Litton for Hertfordshire (Sir B. B. Lytton its for the sane
county, and, through his mother, represents the estate SI
Knebworth); Walter Long sat for Ludgershall, Wilt• J and
in his " Lids of Lord George Bentinck," Mr. Disraeli Ms
enumerated "the *went countenance" of another Walter
Long in our own times; and Sir Thomaa Lacy sat far
Warwick.—.darresens.

A LIBERAL Orrosrrrow..— Liberal politicians
have nothing to gain, and everything to lose, by the return
of Lord Palmerston to power. As an Independent and power-
ful opposition, they will virtually control • weak and spew-
able administration, but should they sell themselves a second
time to halfa-dozen whig gentlemen, they will have no right
to complain if they are served again as they have been served
before. Indications are not wanting to show that this view
ham already forced itself on • large portion of the indepen-
dent members of the opposition benches. We are sure that
the mischief is one which all parties who have the interests
of the country ax heart may lawfully end wisely strive to
avert. Till there is some chance of en honest liberal govern-
ment, let us at all eveata keep • liberal opposition; and,
above all, let us not sacrifice the substance we poem's for the
sham of which we are so happily rid.-30,4rday Boois s.
VANDALIBII.—To speak candidly, we scarcely
expect to be credited In relating the following anecdote;
however, lie authenticity is beyond question :—ln 1817, Mr.
Tipton, of the London Institution, waa at Wigton, in
Surrey, the residemoe et the descendants of John Evelyn.
The oievenation happened to turn upon antogy•phs, of
whieh Upoott professed himself an ardent admirer. Whet I
I suppose, amid Lady Evelyn., "you would esre
for things like these P'—unfolding a letter written
by Sarah Duchess of Marlborough. On his se-
tenting, she added, "Oh: if that be your tans,
we can easily satisfy you • the hones is full of such matters.
There lie greet clothes-basket full of letter and other pages
of old Mr. Evelyn in the garret, which I was so tired of
awing that I ordered the maid to light the Sees with them;
but probably she may not yet have done it." The bell wee
rung, and the Wan appeared untouched. It contained the
lettere and diary of the accomplished author of the " Sylva."

MRS. STOWE AND THE AMERICAN " REVIVAL"—
The authoress of "Uncle Tone. Cabin" writes of the reli-
gime movement which a now taking place in the United
Stake :—" Revivals which mike man better, and bless
society, bare teen end may be realities. But the
rate is without exception, that every truly valu-
able thing has Its counterfeit. When we read of
great revivals, where the Christian converts claim as a es-
cred right the privilege of telling the members of Christ for
money ; where they defend the breaking of the marriage
covenant at the will of the muter, and take away from
the coloured member the right of testimony, and are soloist
to all moral sense an to see no harm in any of there
things, we hold that that revival has been spurious and
counterfeit. So also as to the northern churches, which,
for amines of expediency, and to carry ends of ecelsel-
medal politics, have refined to testify against thee. sine,
we hold that a revival of religion that brings no repentance
sad reformation is false and spurious. We believe to so
raptures, la no tentacles, in no experiences that do not britig
the soul into communion with am who deckled he came
to set at Maly them that are bound and bruised. Revival@
of religion have not been confined to Christian countries. Old
heathenism bad them. Popish Rome has them. Modern
heathenism has them. One and all of these have had tarn of
unusual fervour in their way. One and all have had their
tames, illumination, and mysterious ecstasies. But those
only are Christian revivals which make men like Christ ; or,
if they do not make them like Him, at lean set them on the
road of trying to be like Him."
METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.—The weekly
meeting of the Metropolitan Hoard of Works we. held yes-
terday in the Council Climber, Guildhall ; Mr. J. Theater
in the chair. The balsams in favour of the board was
67,6701. 18s Bd. Mr. Aldermen Cubitt.moved, ginrsuent to
notice, "That manures be Immediately adopted for carrying
out so much of the work in extending the =llea of the
sewers, as is recommended by the engineer in hie mart,
presented to the board on the 19th Febreary bet." Before
bringing on the disc:anon he, staked the engineer whether he
would now recommend the extension of the outlets of the
sewers. Mr. Banalgette, the engineer, said he wee prepared
to recommeed that the outlets al sewers in many instead
should be extended, and in reply to further questions be
stated that the report submitted the propriety of extending
the outlets of sewers, by means of iron pipes, to low water
mark. Mr. Alderman Cubitt urged upon the board the
adoption of the measures contemplated in his motion, irre-
spective of the question of main drainage. Mr. Howe se-
conded the moues. Mr. Dixon objected to Alderman
Cubitt's motion, and moved that the question he refined to
the Works Committee. Mr. Palmer seconded the amend-
ment. The Chairman put the amendment, which was sego-
tived by a large majority. After some further discussion the
motion was put and agreed to, and the board edjourced.
