CHANCERY CHAMBERS.—Serf. 6.
(Before Mr. Edwards, Chief Clerk.)
There were 110 applications this day before :he chief
clerk in carious public companies sad Chancery suite
"proper."

THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVIR RATLWAT T. THE

IMPERIAL CREDIT COMPANY.

In this ease, in which it was stated there were 28 de-
fendants, application was made on the part of one for time
to answer. The answer would extend to 200 sheets, and
to some thousands of folios.

—The Chief askeclsTliat time was required.
The Solicitor's Clerk—A month.
Chief Clerk—Nonsense. You can do it before.
The clerk intimated that there was a " difficulty" at this
time of the year to get the documents prepared.
On the part of the plaintiffs, such a length of time was
opposed, and it was said that fraud was alleged in the
Mlle.

The Chief Clerk thought two weeks' further time was
sufficient, and he made an order to that effect.

Mr. Edwards (who has had all the vacation business) will
be relieved on the ZUth inst. by Mr. Buckley.

JUDGES' CHAMBERS.—Serr. 6.
(Before Chief Justice BovilL)
His Lordship again attended as " long vacation" judge,
and disposed of a number of summoning.
In an application to review the Master's taxation of
costs a point arose of some importance. Soma lengthy
documents bad been espied for counsel, and the item
exceeded 100/. The documents were not considered
" sufficient." Another item was struck out of the bill of
costs and now the application was that the same might
be allowed.
His Lordship allowed the sum for copies to counsel
which would increase the bill to upwards of 1001.

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

On the subject of the Alabama claims the Examiner
says :—" The whole question ►nd sole question in contro.
veiny was, whether, taking everything into consideration,
the government of England was morally responsible for the
aid and help rendered to the Southern States by the armed
vessels sent from English ports against the commerce of
the Union. Lord Stanley took three months to answer
the American despatch ; and his answer is now before us.
It is characterised by all the ingenuity and skill of politi-
cal special pleading. It is calm, plausible, dignified, and
polite ; wary as withcmft and barren as unbelief. But
what is the upshot meaning and drift ? What does it all
come to? Why, simply to • reiteration of all Lord Rus-
sell and Lord Clarendon had said before ; and to • confes-
sion that, notwithstanding the pretentious talk intended
to create a belief in superior tory wisdom, the whig version
of international rights and duties was and is, in Lord Stan.
ley's opinion, the only version worth while, or at least
worth his while, sustaining."
In an article on Mr. Dillwyn the Examiner makes the
remark that confessedly. without the resolute and dis-
interested co-operation of the fifty gentlemen who
declined to support Mr. Coleridge's instruction on
the Bth of April, ministers could have carritd no bill
last 'elution ; and instead of the peaceful realisation of •
large and comprehensive measure of enfranchisement, we
should now be preparing with exacerbated feelings for •
new campaign of agitation during the winter, and for
another struggle for the possession of power next spring—
reform being indefinitely postponed.

In inviting Earl Russell to the Crystal Palace banquet
Mr. Potter hos perpetrased a joke which would be perfect,
says the Saturday Renew, did it not touch upon the
stauraise pfauankvie. It was clearly too broad and pal-
pable and practical for Earl Russell, and therefore be can
scarcely conceal his resentment. Old and pure whiggery
has been so long starched and formal that it could hardly
be expected that Earl Russell would quite appreciate the
chuckle and dig in the ribs which Mr. George Potter has
administered to him. The working-man is all very well, and
for a good many years his emancipation has been a most use-

ANTHROPOLOGY.

The Anthropological conference was held at three
o'clock, sa=itely from any of the lectures. Dr. Hyrrr
gave an on the rims and methods of Anthropology.

At two o'clock to-day the freedom of the borough of
Dundee was presented to the Duke of Buccleuch, the
president of the association, to Sir Roderick Murchison, to
Sir Charles Lyell, and to Sir William Armstrong. The
first three named are Scotahmen ; while the works of Sir
William Armstrong are not less known throughout the
kingdom than in the county of Northumberland, where
they are situate.

THE " ONE•HORNE SHAY" AND THE POPE.—The
following amusing anecdote is going the round of the diplo-
matic circles on the continent. Herr von }Colt, the
minister of Wurtemberg at the Court of Rome, is not
over wealthy, and has but one horse to his carriage. The
Pope, who is swam of his circumstances, allowed
the Wurtemberg minister to enter the Vatican in
his one-horse vehicle, although etiquette requires a
carriage drawn by two home at least. Herr von
Annul, the Prussian minister, who possesses a 'glen.
did horse and phaeton which he drives himself, thought
he could do what was permitted to his colleague of Witt..
temberg. But the guard before the Vatican roundly re-
fused to admit his " one horse shay"—two horses being
the right thing. Herr von Arnim at once writes to Car-
dinal Antonelli demanding an explanation, and provision.
ally breaks off diplomatic relations with the holy see. /co
doubt the difficulty has been got over by this time.

According to the indepoidance, a rapid exchange
of diplomatic notes is going on between the cabinets of
the Tuileries and St. Petersburg on the Eastern question.

Court of Wick, Cox's orange pippin, and one or two
other dessert varieties. Oranges continue good and
cheap. Kent cobs may still be had at an advanced price.
Broccoli continues to arrive from the west of England
and the Channel Islands. Prices of potatoes are about
the same as they were last week. Flowers chiefly consist
of orchids. Chinese primulas', violets, pelargoniums,

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(111011 OUR OWN CORIMPONDINT.)
PARIS, FRIDAY EvrnNc.

Cirardin carries on the war against the govent-
ment, which he declared yesterday, by publishing
the Liberte without any leading article in order to
infer that there is no Liberti of the press. He
borrows articles of small moment from the Temps,
Opi,4iuot Nationale, and other journals which he
presumes it is safe to reproduce since they have not
been prosecuted. It was observed with surprise
that the Liberte was the only evening paper
which did not publish last night the text of the
judgment of the correctional tribunal, which is the
only lawful report. The Ltherti explains its reti-
cence to-day by saying that it did not think it
"prudent" to give the judgment until it had ap-
peared in the authorised legal journals, for fear of
getting into trouble by a mistake in a line or a
word. I do not disagree with those who think
this sort of warfare puerile. M. Girardin has,
perhaps, reasons unknown to the public which in-
duce him to think it safe and expedient and dig-
nified to carry it on. 130 far from waking for
the public prosecutor to appeal against his
light sentence he triumphantly announces that
he will appeal himself, and get the most able
counsel he can find to plead his cause. This is a
very daring course. The appeal court may, if it
pleases, aggravate instead of diminish his sentence,
and, unless he is far more influential in the highest
quarters than the public suppose, there is every
probability that he will be condemned to impri-
sonment.

The Senate, as you will see by M. Troplong's long
report on the proposed S,liatles Constatum, is not
satisfied with the augmentation of its privileges
with which the Emperor proposed to endow it. A
simple suspensive veto upon bills sent up from the
Corps Legislatif it thinks incompatible with its
dignity, and M. Troplong demands that any bill
of which the Senate may not approve shall hang
over till the next year. That would seem to me a
very absurd clog upon legislation. Better give the
Senate (albeit the pensioners of which it is com-
posed have little weight indeed in the country)
the privileges of a second chamber at once.
It is understood that Prince Napoleon, in a
council of ministers, argued very strongly against
the power which M. de Lavaletto proposes to confer
upon the prefects to authorise and control that
liberty of public meeting which the Emperor pro-
mised on Jan. 19. According to all indications,
this liberty will be a far worse sham than the
liberty of the press.
Lemaire, the cynical young murderer, was exe-
cuted at 6 o'clock this morning. He was cool to
the last, and while the executioner was cutting off
his hair said that his birthday was on March 18,
and that had he lived ten days longer he would
have been twenty years old. He never expressed
any repentance or changed the attitude which he
assumed at his trial ; but the evening papers say
that the prison chaplain induced him to confess
and receive the sacrament.

franchise tho boroughs of Lancaster, Reigate. Totnes, and

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—There is
no intention to bring in a separate bill for the object to
which the learned serjeant refers. With regard to the
preeint members for the borough of Yarmouth, I am very
glad they have seats in this house, because I think they
are very useful members of the House of Commons.

TO THE EDITOR OE THE HEMEL

Sia,—After reading my lecture on " Pym" at
Guildford the other day, I replied to the wild
attack made upon me by Mr. Disraeli in the
House of Commons with reference to what I had
said about " the four thousand freeholders of
Buckinghamahire."
No full report of this reply appeared, so far as I
can learn. Abridged reports appeared ; but those
which I have seen deviate throughout from my
language, often fail to convey my meaning, omit
important statements, and give my figures
incor-
rectly. They have, however, brought down upon
me the criticisms of journalists, and of " Hectors"
roused to arms in defence of the dispensation.
I do not pursue the discussion, because I wish to
reserve what I have to say for an appendix to my
lectures, which are about to be published. In the
meantime I would remark :

1. That the only issue raised by me is this—
whether, among the holders of freehold qualifica-
tions in our present electoral registers, there are
many of the yeomen freeholders stibmi4tiny by the
cultivation of thrir woe laid, who one formed a
numerous class in this country, and whose political
action is strongly marked in our history. All
arguments directed to any other issue than this are,
so far u I am concerned, irrelevant.

2. That, as I distinctly stated at Guildford, I hold
the present aggregation of land in a few hands to
be primarily due to economical causes, and only in
a secondary, though a considerable, degree to
aristocratic legialatiun.—l am, itc.,

OOLDWIN SMITH.

The Bishop of Winchester performed the arduous
duty of consecrating a new church at Stockbridge, in

years of age, and has been 40 years Bishop of Winchester.

Mr. Robert Stephenson has given orders to pro-
vide at his expense a dinner for 30l) poor people of Cowers
in the Isle of Wight.

Pork in now about 3d. per lb. cheaper than

meat is quite an anomaly.
The remains of the brother, Bandiera and their
companion Dominique Masco, who were shot at Cosenza
in 1844 by the Austrian government, are about to be
solemnly removed to Venice at the expense of the Italian

In some of the French eastern departments—the
Meurthe, Meuse, Vosges, and Ardennes—there has been
established, in consequence of the new state of things
created in Germany, an association under the name
of " Societe dee Francs-tireurs de PEA." An en-
thusiasm surpassing all expectation accompanied
its formation. Already it numbers more than
4,000 members, land it will shortly be reinforced
by volunteers from the two departments of the Jura
and the Denbo, on the inhabitants of which the invasion'
d 1814 and 1815 threw an immense amount of glory. The
corps has chosen for its president the Emperor Napoleon,
and for its vice-president the Prince Imperial, as stated.

Thirty-nine volunteers left Bruasels a few days
since to join the regiment of Pontifical Rewires at Rome.
Twenty-five are natives of Holland, and the rest Belgians.
A letter from Treviso to the Tempo of Venice
contains some further details respecting tho demonstra.
lion against the bishop of the former city :—" The muni-
cipality had posted up proclamations recommending the
population to remain tranquil, but the notices were tom
down immediately. The inhabitants demanded in a riot.
out manner from the prefect that the prelate who had been
the rause of so much scandal at Venice and Treviso should
be removed from his see. Several local authorities and
influential persons made the same request. The prefect
has asked for inst-uctions from his govermuent, but in the
meantime the agitation continues."

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE ARREST OF MARSHAL SERRANO.
The Liberte publishes the following details re-
specting the arrest of Marshal Serrano :

On the afternoon of the 30th the marshal went to the
palace, and having obtained an interview he beseeched her
Majesty to stop short in the course in which others were
driving her. He represented to her that the policy of
the ministry tended to the abolition of the constitution,
and to the proclamation of an absolute monarchy,
but it was a mistake to suppose that the nation would
support a coup ilital. " Your Majesty will not find a
general who will consent to follow you on such ground."
The Queen replied that she expected the visit of the
Marshal, and thanked him for it. " But do not believe,"
she said, " that I wish to bring back absolutism. I never
will be an absolutist Queen." Coming to the document signed
by the deputies, and which was the cause of their arrest,
the Marshal said, " If your Majesty wishes I shall bring
you this document, and your Majesty can then do with it
what you wish—were it to throw it into the fire. This act
would annul the rigorous measures taken against those
who signed it." "No, no, no," the Queen replied, "I wish
to see nothing ; I can in no way modify the proceeding
of the ministry, nor modify itself, for I agree to all their
acts." The Marshal had not time to change his:court
dress when the Captain-General Pamela presented him-
self before the Marshal, with his aide-de-camp and an
armed force. Having, in a somewhat rude manner, told
those who were with the Marshal to retire, be with his
own hand arrested Serrano, who now remains at Alicante
awaiting his embarkation. The apartments of the exiled
deputies are besieged by visitors ; it is a regular procession
and protest against the excess of blind power. The depu-
ties are to be sent to the Balearic Isles, the Canaries, and
Porto Rico. Senor Rios-Reuss is destined for the last-
named locality."

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.

The Patrie commends Narvaez's arbitrary pro-
ceedings in Spain, and denies that he is chargeable
with a coup d'etat, because there is law for every-
thing he has done, and law made by his rival and
predecessor O'Donnell. There is progress after
all, says the Patrie, as compared with the pronun-
ciainotto of Vicalvaro, because Narvaez appeals to
the nation. No doubt this is • strictly Napo-
leonic idle, and Narvaez'a forthcoming election,
should he remain in power long enough to
work it, will, in all probability, be quite as free
and fair as was the plebiscite of 1851 in France.
But the Patric passes with great levity over the
fact that O'Donnell, the hero of Vicalvaro, was an
honoured guest at Compiegne only a few weeks ago.
M. Lecca, the sub-lieutenant of Zou•ves, who
lately killed M. Seguin in a duel, has found it
necessary to throw up his commission.

The students about to be tried on a political
charge, who selected M. Janson, of the Brussels bar,
for their counsel, have determined now that the
court has refused to hear M. Janson not to choose
any other advocate.
A trial is now going on before the Assize Court
of the Var of sixteen youths, inmates of the peni-
tentiary on the Isle of Levant, founded ten years
ago by Count Henri de Pourtalia on the principle
of. the highly successful colony of Mottray, who
aro accused of a series of most diabolical crimes.
According to the indictment, they rose in rebellion
against the authorities of the penitentiary, set fire
to a building with the express intention of burning
to death the people in it, and committed in all
fifteen murders.

The Duchess de Nassau—now that the Prussians
are in possession of Wiesbaden no longer a sove-
reign personage—is lying dangerously ill at the
chb.teau of Biberich on the Rhine. She caught a
cold three weeks ago while riding out on horseback
on a foggy day, and her life is despaired of.
We are now having some winter. Yesterday
morning there was a very thick coating of snow in
the streets of Paris. It melted in the day time in
the centre of the city, but not on the exterior boule-
vards. Last night there was a frost of considerable
intensity. The sun shone out brilliantly this morning,
without, however, being strong enough to melt the
snow, and this afternoon there has been another
very heavy fall. The cold is not severe, and we
are very far indeed from experiencing the incon-
venience which I see by the papers is felt in Lon-
don. The Skating Club, which last year had not
a single opportunity of displaying the glories of
its new organisation upon natural ice, is now
upon the qui vire.
The Bourne was firm. Independently of the
operations of the public, which are extremely
restricted, there are now, and will be for some
time to come, daily purchases in the Rente, for

MISCMLLANIOI.7B TOPICS.

The Tines observes that only just now, after eight
months of continuous depression, have the ordinary secu-
rities of the share market begun to show symptoms of re-
covery from the collapse of last spring. Even now Consols
are 5 per cent. lower than they were after the New Year's-
day speech of the Emperor Napoleon had prepared us for
the perils of European waz in The application of
limited liability led to the subsidence of the funds,
and for two years or more 7 per cent. was
talked of as the interest of the future. Even
after the cata.troplie people would not take up with con-

THE ALABAMA.-ENGLISH OFFER OT ARBITRATION.

The only cloud on the horizon of our foreign
policy at the opening of the new year is, says the Tuna,
the grudge which ia harboured against us by the nation
which, of all others, we should least desire to make our
enemy. A hostile rupture with the United State. might
be forced upon us, for there is a degree of injustice to
which no community can submit. But in the Alabama
matter no one capable of distinguishing between • legal
right and a moral claim will deny that a fair
case was made out for arbitration, and that Rae Russell's
unqualified rejection of the proposal betrayed • somewhat
narrow and one-sided view, and was, in short, a false step,
and the sooner false steps are retraced the better. Under
the influence of this feeling the Times urges that we
should seize the present opportunity, when the domestic
embarrassments of America are such as to make agraceful
concession on the part of Great Britain peculiarly oppor.
tune, to waive punctilios of national dignity, and make
overtures of arbitration of our own sword. By waiting
until arbitration is again proposed by the United
States—and the claims will never be forgotten by
the American people—and then consenting to it,
we shall justly incur the suspicion of yielding under
compulsion. In defining the points for arbitration no
allegation employing a suggestion of bad faith would of
course be admissible, but the question of vigilance and
moral responsibility for the neglect of it could not be
excluded, and it does not appear so utterly monstrous that
damages resulting in part from • defect in our laws should
be defrayed in part by ourselves. At all events, an
implicit confidence in the justice of one's own cause is a
strange reason for declining the test of arbitration, to the
principle of which, be it remembered, Great Britain, in
common with othergreat powers, has solemnly declared her
adhesion.

THE WEATHER.-{THIS DAY.)

The cold to-day has been intense, and the Know
which fell on Tuesday has become so hardened as to rende
travelling more dangerous than ever. At 8 o'clock this morn-
ing the minimum temperature had been attained—one of
Negretti and Zambra's standard minimum thermometers,
indicating 6 degrees, which is equal to 26 below the freez-
ing point of water. At noon to-day, in the heart of Lon-
don, the thermometer had risen to 1G degrees below the
freezing point. Telegraphic communications report the cold
last night as more severe than has been felt for year', and a
gentleman who travelled from Yorkshire last night
asserts that the glass there stood below zero. The effect
on the traffic of the London General Omnibus Com-
pany has been serious. We believe that above
620 omnibuses ply daily, and the average number
of passengers per week is about 2,000,000 ; the
result of the frost will be manifest when we state
that Namely fifty vehicles are at work to-day. The lack
of omnibuses has caused extes carriages to be put on the
trains of the Metropolitan Railway, both in the morning
and afternoon, that being the only safe route between the
City and Paddington.
In the earlier part of the day a thick fog came over the
metropolis, business appeared nearly at a stand-still, and
the icicles adhering to the shop-windows rendered it dif-
ficult to see the goods exposed for sale. At several cab-
ranks no water could be obtained for the horses, the plugs
being frozen.
Devonshire, in common with the more easterly counties,
was on Wednesday visited with a heavy fall of snow.
Between Reading and Didcot, and also near Warmin•
star, a prodigious quantity of snow fell, railway eons-
munication being in some cases quite stopped by
a depth of from four to five feet of snow. On the
South-Western line, between Buingetoke and Salim.
bury, there was also a heavy fall, and the midday express
was nearly three hours late in arriving at Exeter. In the
north of Devon, and down as far as Brent, snow was lying
on the ground to the depth of between four and six inches,
Dartmoor having been covered on Monday night. From
Tavistock, and from various parts of Cornwell, very severe
weather is reported.

XL BRIGHT AND DIR. H. DARBY BRTNOCR.

Several of our contemporaries comment this morning
upon the letter which was published yesterday, addressed
by Mr. H. Seymour to Mr. Bright. But as the second
letter contained in the Times of this morning is necea-
sary to complete the case, we do not propose to enter
very fully into the remarks which are made. The Daily
News points out the singular fact that the article of
the retiring editor of the Portniyhtly Review, Mr. O. H.
Lewes, in which he took gre►t credit for the signing of
contributions, immediately followed an anonymous
article written with unusual license. The sequel has
shown that the theory at least of the Fortitialstly was
sound. The man who wrote the passages respecting Mr.
Bright certainly ought, in justice to the public, never to
write again without signing his name—the assertions they
contain only escapine the severest reprobation in virtue
of their utter folly. Mr. Seymour's letter the Daily Neva
regards as the moat humiliating epistle it has published
for a long time. Anything more discreditable, whether
we regard the winton recklessness of the original slander
or the flippancy with which it has since been treated by its
author, has not occurred in journalism since the unscrupu-
lous attack made upon Mr. Cobden four years ago.
The lit-rald, on the other hand, thinks that Mr. Sey-
mour's error "was an error of degree " only, and th►t
Mr. Bright "said quite enough to warrant the Fortnightly
&ring in attributing to him the character of a communist
and a leveller."
London, England, 1867-12-10

iffillaellgpillintAscE AND ITALY.
Pointing ont the closeness with which M. Rouher
has adopted the counsel of M. Thies, the Times proceeds
to remark that if the latter has really undertaken the
guidance of French destinies, we can be at no loss for an
insight into the future. The principles of M. Thies are,
in brief, that there should be no other European balance
than one in which France shall outweigh all other states.
She must have no superior, no equal, amongst her neigh-
bours. A sone of petty duchies, of petty cantons, Germany
parcelled out, an unarmed Switzerland, an enslaved Italy,
an effete Spain, is what best suits her. In his supreme
selfishness, though be[does; not like the syllabus him-
self, he thinks it is good enough for the Romans.
The Times cannot believe that France or the Em-
peror are to swayed by such views. Is France herself
free from blame in this matter of Italian misgovernment
Was it not the Milan proclamation that called upon the
Italians to be men, to make their country their own from
tho Alps to the sea ? Who, since then, has kept them on
tenter-hooks, ministering to their aspirations, only to
thwart them, raising barriers only to tempt men
to overleap them M. Rouher bids Italy " not
to be alarmed because an old man addresses
prayers to God under the dome of St. Peter's ;" but
it is not by any means at the,old man's praying that Italy
is alarmed. It is at the old Man's reigning, and at his
allowing his earthly reign to be turned into an instrument
of disorder and a focus of conspiracy.

THE POLICE COURTS.

CLERICENWELL„

A deputation from the itio;tinfiu;i;iial tradesmen of the
Caledonian-road waited upon Mr. Cooke. for the purpose
of presenting the following memorial, signed by 40 trades-
' min, concerning the working of the new Metropolitan
Streets Act, with respect to the oostermongers of their
district:

"Are, the undersigned inhabitants, residing in the
Caledonian-mad, Islington, are of opinion that the police
arrangements now in force against the oosterroongers of
this neighbourhood are unnecessarily severe and most op-
pressive, and are productive of most serious consequences
both to the men themselves and business generally. We
regard with much satisfaction the adoption by the govern-
ment of the Home Secretary's proposal to remove certain
restrictions in the Metropolitan Streets Act relating to
itenerent traders, and we earnestly desire to see the ad-
vantages intended by the legislature for this clue of per-
sons fully participated in by them. We therefore
strongly recommend their case to your kind consideration,
with a view to the attainment of so desirable an object."
Mr. Cooke said the new act which had been passed with
respect to the costermongers did not affect the present
police arrangements in respect to them ; in fact they were
at present governed by the same act as they were before.
One of the deputation said that nineteen out of twenty
of the tradesmen of the district agreed in wishing that the
costermongers should occupy their old positions. The road
was very wide and so was the pathway, and there could be
but little inconvenience teeny one by those poor persons ex-
posing their goods near the kerb of the pavement. He did
not like to see honest persons, although poor, hunted about
by the police, and he thought that when the vishes of a
large and influential portion of the rate-paying classes of
the district were made known they ought to receive some
attention, and the law should not be so stringently put in
force against the poor people.
Mr. Cooke said the memorial presented to him appeared
to bear out a strong case in favour of the persons whose
cause they advocated, but he must remind them that the
police were only doing their duty in carrying out their
Instructions with reference to the law. The police were
obliged to act according to the law, and during the time
he had been on that bench he had not seen that the police
bad been arbitrary in enforcing the law, and if any of the
inhabitants saw any inch thing as the police acting in an
arbitrary manner, if they would let him know he would
take immediate notice of it.
Another of the deputation said they had no fault to find
with the police or against any individual of that force, but
it was the impresei.n of the inhabitants that the law was
too harshly enforced.
Mr. Cooke said the memorial was more for the commis-
sioners of police than himself, and the deputation, having
thanked the worthy magistrate for his courtesy, retired.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(PION On OWN CORRESPONDEIT.)

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.

Some of the clerical prints already object that
M. Rouher's declaration in favour of the temporal
power, which made M. Berryer weep with
joy, was not, after all, sufficiently categorical.
The rumour of a diplomatic note inform-
ing the cabinet of Florence that although
France is resolutely opposed to the annexation of
Rome to Italy by force, she would have no objec-
tion to an amicable arrangement between Italy and
the Pope, prompts the ultramontanes to claim a de-
fence against " cunning "as well as violence. M.
Rouher, who in some respects trumped M. Thiers,
did not precisely echo his requisition that even
"moral means" of giving Italy to Rome
should be repudiated. M. Rouher made
so much noise by repeating emphatically the word
"never," that the whole audience understood him
to mean that Italy should never have Rome.
What he actually said, however, was, that she
should never take it (ne s'emparera). Upon this
text it is quite possible, if need be, to tone down
M. Rouher's sensational declarations to the level
of those sober and ambiguous sayings of the
Marquis de Moustier, which the church found so
unsatisfactory.
At the Bourse very little business was done.
Speculators were anxiously awaiting news from the
Corps Legislatif and the Italian parliament, which
could not come in time to influence to-day's opera-
tions. Renter rose 10c. ,for cash, and 21c. for
account, closing at 69fr. 25c. and 69fr. 100. Italian
fell 30c.
