sold portions of the park to such advantage as to
have enabled them to prerent the Hall sad some of
the park to the people. What they could not do in
making profit othrr, have done—large lob having
been sold for 'building purposes, at very hies,
rates; so thel unless some vigorous measures uses►
instituted die whsle property was sure to be melted
down into the suburbs of Birmingham, and the line
old m•,ece house choked up among new streets, or
demolished. The vigorous step that was taken was
the formation of a remarkable Committee, consisting
of several working men and a few employers, who
pledged their utmost exertions to get up the means
of purchasing this one only piece of land which they
were ever likely to see in the market suitable to
such a purpose as theirs. The whole town is proud
of the ability, as well as the seal, with which the
work has been carried on ; and it promises a local
immortality to the names of the committeemen. The
machinery is a Joint-Stock Company, under limited
liability. The Company consists of three classes of
shareholders : Class A being holders of guinea
shares, who are to enjoy the run of the place, under
the regulations of the governing body: Class B
being benefactors who have bestowed free gifts
without return of privileges: and Class C, compre-
hending the guinea shareholders who will be entitled
to dividends. The donations are to be vested in
trustees, whose business it will be to buy up the
shares of the other two classes, as the funds become
sufficient, in order to the property being finally
handed over to the Town Council of Birmingham, in
trust for the townspeople at large. Such is the
scheme; and it is not very long sines the difficulties
appeared so nearly insuperable that the most 21111-
guise would not assign a time when Aston Park
would become a People's Park. Scarcely anybody
outside the Committee had a word of sincere encou-
ragement to offer. Just at that period of discourage-
ment, when the Committee were as resolute as ever.
and nobody could see what they could effect, a
number of gentlemen associated themselves for the
1 purpose of giving a fete, by which 8001. were raised.
This gave a fillip at once to the spirits of the Interim
Managers (as the Committee called themselves) and
to the general hope; and by the last accounts prior
° to the preparations for this day, no less than 23,000
shares had been taken up. The increase within the
' hut week or two has been considerable ; and it does
' not appear that anybody doubts of the complete
accomplishment of the enterprise, the amount re-
° quired having been reduced to 35,0001. for the Hall
/ and forty-three acres of land. The proprietors are
' considerate and liberal, allowing a wide interval for
1 the complete liquidation, and permitting a retreat
' from the bargain after the payment of the first
1 instalment, if desired. The first instalment, 3,0001.,
1 has been paid, and nothing is heard about retreating
but much of the complete fulfilment of the project.
I Thus are the people of Birmingham coming forward
to greet their Sovereign in their common enter-
-1 prise of saving Aston Hall, in contrast to their
' forefathers, who, on occasion of the one other royal
' visit, marched out to destroy it. After CHARLES I. had
stolen away, bullets pierced the walls of his apartment,
and the stately old moms were stripped, battered,and
spoiled. Now, after the Quarts has done her part,
and gone home, the old Manor•house will be almost
as splendid as during her visit, its apartments being
destined for a permanent Exhibition of the Works
of Art and Manufactures of the town and district.
Instead of the rattle of arms ►od the shouts of
besiegers, the park will resound with the
pleasant noise of sport. It is to be the great
playground of the toiling multitudes of the
mighty workshop of England. But above
and beyond such changes as these will be the me-
morable fact that the working-men and their em-
ployers have, by their happy co-operation, enriched
their community by such a possession. We all know
what a hard winter the last was to the working-
clue*, everywhere, and certainly not least at Bir-
mingham ; yet was there no d.lay in meeting three
calls of 2a. Bd. on each guinea share, before there
was any idea of such an event as the
festival of to-day. Almost all those shares are held
by working men ; and their promptitude in meeting
those calls is a strong testimony at once to their
earnestness in the enterprise, and to their manly
habits of living and conducting their affairs. If
they are looking on their Sovereign with affectionate
homage to-day, she may reciprocate the greeting
with hearty approval and admiration. As for
we acknowledge we admire them all round—from
the QrzEN to the school-child who gives his penny
to buy Aston-park.

The family and friends of the celebrated Lady
Morgan have been for the last two weeks labouring
under the greatest anxiety on account of her rapidly
failing health. It is now understood that her lady-
ship is in imminent danger, and her medical Adrian,
bare renounced all hope. The numerous inquiries
after the illustrious sufferer at her residence in
Albert-gate, prove the extent of the sympathy
evinced for her in the world of literature and fashion.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO
WARWICKSHIRE.

We unteok the seenents of her Majesty's reception, which
bane reeeleed sr frost oar special consepondents
COVENTRY AND BTONELEIGH ABBEY.

The ►eat of the weather will be freely admitted by
every tete who bed the pismire of taking open-air emir-
dm in Coventry and its neighbourhood yesterday ; but high
se was the thermometer, it was sheer ono to the fervour of
loyal enthusiasm with which the inhabitants of the ancient
city of Coventry, and their neighbours of the beautiful
county of Warwick, prepared to give their gracious Sove-
reign a royal reception and a loyal and hearty welcome. In
the ancient city itself—now hardly ancient in any-
thing save its traditions and its mace and swordhsaree—

the day was observed se a strict and general holiday. Every
door was closed, save those of the inns, and there the overflow
of custom was so great, that it was with the utmost difficulty
the weary traveller could find • resting place, even for •
moment. All Coventry had in fact tamed out, save peeping
Tom; end even be seemed to make a violent effort to turn
his smart floe towards the railway station, to catch along
with the rest of his townie:an a peeving glance at the Royal
visitor. From Coventry to Stoseleigh Abbey the &-
Mace is somewhere about four miles along a beau-
tiful country road, with corn Beide and golden meadows
on each side, great old oaks and elms at the corners
end turnings, and pleasant Mile country cottages,
whom inhabitants in their best crowded round the
doors, or peeped in twos and threes from the latticed
windows. Here and there along the hedge rows stood many
• market cart which Gainsborough would have stopped to
copy, filled with sturdy peasants, who beguiled the time by
laughing at everything that peeped, and intenticially filling
their capacious mouths with home-made bread and cheese.
The formers were on horseback in numerous squadrons, on
alsode of varied colour and stature but of • pervading
sobriety of demeanour—all looking as if they had just
arrived from Mr. Rarey's Academy ; and large waggons bad
been temporarily thatched with straw and made the snugged
nests possible for the blooming nymphs, who were packed
as nymphs only could be packed in regime where crinoline
wag not. Every tree bore Its human fruit dangling from
branch or clinging from trunk, and consisting chiefly of ad-
venturous little boys who climbed and scrambled lite so many
squirrels with • sovereign contempt for the tenacity of their
pantaloons, and ever and anon, as the wayfarer came to •
nook in the road, rose some antediluvian elm, vast, gnarled
and hollow with age, and at Its base squatted a patient party
of sight-ssekers, waiting patiently, with the thermometer at
N deg. even In their shady quarters, " from morn to dewy
eve," br a peening sight of their much-beloved Queen.
The were kits of loyal bunting displayed along the route.
The hedges were paean in the French manner at intervals,
triumphal aches of venom pretension. marked the awes,
and the crowd and the polio., and the hussars and the
yeomanry cavalry, kept the whole four miles of rural road
alive, from Coventry town to Stonekigh Abbey. There are
taw who require to be told what a fine baronial reel-
dance is this old abbey, once the well chosen retreads corn-
malty of Cistercian monks, and now the family seat
of Lord Leigh, one of the moat amiable and popular noble-
men in the Midland Counties. The park—through which
is in tacit a long journey—ia • noble chase, studded with
gigantic trees and alive with numerous heeds of deer. The
gems in the vicinity of the main avenue had been newly
shaven for the royal visit, the roadway thoroughly repaired,
and although the getaways were strictly guarded, many
gaily dressed parties had found their way into the perk sad
bivouacked patiently under the great trees, while waiting be
the royal cavalcade. The whole picture was at once gay sad
imposing, urban and sylvan—es populous as • Chinas city,
as merry as an English far. Everything was bright end
happy, from the hot sun overhead which routed every
one with benign complacency and an edifying he-
partially, to the groups of ragged little boys who
ran about the roads, got In everybody's way, made
faces at the Deepens, and still more spitetul Mel at
the polies, and rebeereed a loyal thong of &eon at in-
Mende of about In minutes, in order that they might be
reedy with a truly impanelv viva when the important mo-
ment
had actually arrived. The abbey itself Is an immense

At the railway station, Coventry, platforms of great ex-
tent lid bees prepared for the spectators of her Majesty's
arrival. One of these, capable of accommodating 4,000 per-
ste% was filled almost entirely by ladies. The united chain
of the city conipled • separate gallery. The road from the
station to the boundary of the city was lined on each aide by
platforms which were filled hours before the time flied for
her Majesty's appearance. At the city boundary a triumphal
arch had been erected cm which were inscribed the words,
" Victoria," " Albert," " Welcome," " Long may she
reign," surmounted by the city arms, the royal arms bang
placed on the summit. From this point to the Sturchal gate
and the Stoneleigh-road platforms were Greeted on each side,
decorated with flags and evergreens, and capable of accommo-
dating upwards of 16,000 persons. These platforms were
all occupied, sad the road was thronged with pedestrians,
who seemed determined to give their Sovereign a hearty
welcome. The line of route from the railway station to the
boundary of the city was kept by a troop of the 16th
Hum" under the command of Captain Sow t ; a company
of the 22nd Foot, under the orders of Major Sir George
Robinson, being stationed as a guard of honour on the plat-

sented the following address, is the name and on behalf of the
onceatios of Coventry :

occeske by noblemen and gentlemen in the district. The
value of the pictures on the walls le oomputed to be little
short of 100,0001.
Yesterday (Monday) the trains poured into the town tisan-
es's& of strangers from all quarters.

PARIS. MONDAY EVENING.

The object of the leading article in the Moniteur
calling attention to a recent circular of the Minister
of Public Safety on the subject of hawking books
and pamphlets (a calling designated in French by
that word of fear to imperial ears, colportags) will
not probably be very apparent to the ordinary
reader. It betrays a feverish anxiety about the
dissemination of printed matter in the country, but
affects to be solicitous, mainly on the score of reli-
gion and morality, and does not in terms refer to poli-
ties. There can, however, be no doubt that the first
part of the article is intended as a censure upon the
Orleanist sympathies, which have assumed an alarm-
ing development since the death of the duchess.
When it is said that eight millions of immoral
books were dispersed over our villages and rural
districts by ten thousand hawkers; that irreligion,
the most perverse doctrines of socialism, and the
grossest obscenity were placed before uncultivated
and simple minds; and that this was the state of
things about the year 1847, and was the consequence
of the imprudent and guilty neglect which is some-
times adorned with the name of liberty—it is evi-
dent that the odium of this immorality is meant
to be thrown upon the ()demist dynasty, which
expired in 1848. The following paragraph, with
which the article concludes, has a different bearing:

The concluding passage of this circular deserves the ap-
proval of all those who are convinced that book hawking
would still present serious dangers, were it to brooms the
weapon of any particular sect, and serve to revive dtscurion•
and a hatred now happily extingutahed. " The oommiseion,"
says the circular, "examines attentively all religious works.
It forbids the sale of all works calculated to irritate the pub
lie mind, and to revive pardons unworthy of our century.
It is the duty of the edmiaistration to prevent foreign soda-

ties, pormsed of considerable resources, from deepatching
agents to our country with the view of producing agitation.
This agitation, I am aware, wauld never attain the propor-
tions of a danger; but whatever might be the results of the
labours of them societies, it is neoemary to be on our guard
spinet their enterprises."

It has been suggested to me that this passage is
directed against the English Bible Society ; and
this construction does, I confess, appear to me the
true one. I hardly know any other " foreign so-
ciety possessing considerable resources" to which it
can reasonably be supposed to refer. It is clear
from the context that the quotation from the minis-
terial circular alludes to religious books exclusively.
The " particular sect " denominated must be the
protestants.

The Conference met to-day for the fifth time.
The secret of their proceedings has hitherto been
so well kept that I feel little confidence in repeating
rumours of what has been lately done. It is asserted
that the union of the Principalities has been formally
rejected by four votes to three, England, Austria,
Turkey, and Prussia having voted against, and
France, Russia, and Sardinia, for it. This is very
safe news to give, because if not already true it will
be so ultimately. I repeatedly said long ago that
the principle of the Union had been sacrificed, and
I am quite certain that no member of this Confer-
ones has had from the first the slightest doubt about
the result. It is, however, further affirmed that in
the last sitting it was voted by a majority against a
violent apparition on the part of Austria, that two
representative assemblies should be permanently
established in the Principalities.
The Bourse has been decidedly firm, although
speculators are still very cautious. The Rente rose
15c. for cash, and 20c. for account, closing at
IBfr. 150. and 88fr. 33c. Itfobilier rose Ilfr. 25c.
The Northern railway roes 17fr. 600. ; Orleans and
Southern, 12fr. 50c. each ; Western, 10fr.; Lyons,
7fr. 50e. ; and Eastern, Bfr. 75c.
A horsedealer of Montrouge, named Meunier, was
fried on Saturday by the Paris Tribunal of Correc-
tional Police, on a charge of having spoken of the
Emperor and Empress in insulting terms. His ac-
cusers were not professional spies, who, in the nu-
merous cases of this class which have lately occurred,
are most commonly the witnesses, bat they were two
personal enemies. One of them was a M. Hausa,
who had been a partner in business with the de-
fendant, and the other a woman named Lebrun,
who owed him 37fr., for the payment of which a
judgment of a justice of the peace was hanging over
her head. These people swore positively to a string
of seditious expressions, long enough to consign a
score of people to Cayenne, as having been uttered by
Meunier in a café. Fortunately for the pri-
soner, he had an excellent character—that is
to say. in the words of the certificate of
the Prefect of Police, "he was a man who
never talked polities—not even when such serious
questions were pending that the most timid found it
difficult to be silent." The judges were naturally
most reluctant to believe that such a model French
citizen as this could be guilty of the offence imputed
to him. They took the unusual course of severely cross-
examining the witnesses for the prosecution apart
from each other, and ascertained satisfactorily from
their contradictions that they had tramped up the
charge. Meunier was acquitted, and the two false
witnesses were taken into custody in open court and
committed for trial.

The representatives of the friendly powers residing
at Turin visited Count de Cavour en the 12th, to offer thatr
congratulations for the settlement of the Cagliari question.

Don Miguel has published a manifesto in one of
