safety—may be gravely compromised. It would have
been infinitely better for all parties had • liberal

to the PRINCT-98, and paid down at once. As to the
talk about drawing closer the bonds of amity between
England and Prussia, that u simply nonsense. A
nuptial alliance, like that now under consideration,
can at beat only draw closer the bonds of amity be-
tween dynasties. Whether it can do even this is
problematical : the evidence of history is strongly
opposed to the annmption that it can. But waiving
this consideration, what ia wanted is not the alliance
of dynasties but of peoples. It is most desirable
that the peoples of Prussia and England
should thoroughly understand and esteem each
other; and • national alliance upon such •
basis would be inestimable. But alliances of dynas-
ties are sadly apt to degenerate into alliances against
the nations over whom these dynasties have been
called to ruin

and to the cumbrous and costly proceedings now
necessary, is evident ; but the inosle in which com-
promises are to be 'settled and carried out is one
which is entitled to much cotuideration. It is, in
fact, admitting the principle of limited liability in
disguise, and it would probably be far more desir-
able to place it at once on a sounder and more intel-
ligible footing, and one which would give more
confidence both to creditors and shareholders of Joint
Stock Companies. One valuable admission was ex-
torted from Sir RICIIMID BETIIELL by the scandalous
circumstance that in the Royal British Bank case
the highest tribunals in this country were engaged
for weeks, " not in the actual administration of jus-
tice, but in settling the preliminary question in
which of our courts justice was to be done." The
admission was this : "That it was a most unfortunate
peculiarity of this country that we did not confide
to any one tribunal the duty of administering com-
plete justice on an entire subject, but gave to dif-
ferent tribunals the charge of its fragmentary parts."
Why has not this salutary truth been more carefully
borne in mind in our recent legislation, which, as
in the case of the Testamentary and Divorce Bills,
has been profuse in the creation of new and
fragmentary jurisdictions?

t-GENZZAL

AN article published in the last number of Fraser's
Mayasine, deservedly praised for its force and spirit,
is the venting of some clever man's bile against
Imperialism. Nor is it merely French Imperialism
which is denounced, but an English school of the

proposed
fraudulent

same political faith which is said to have sprung up
amongst us, and which professes that a stout sod
sweeping Absolutism would be the best way of
getting rid of the host of abuses and shams whkii
beset us. We shall not condescend seriously to
discuss such a doctrine. The fault of the wells, le
Fraser is that he gallantly snatches up the oolgolo
of argument against what, as far as England is con-
eerned, can be no other than a spectre, born of the
fastidiousness of a few men of letters and amateur
politicians.
Imperialism speaks for itself. It is already limned
and daguerreotyped on the other side of the Chan-
nel, for every one's inspection and experience. To
the Englishman who deliberately desires to play the
part of flatterer in that Oriental Palace which has
been transported from the Bosphorus to the Seine,
there is really nothing to be said—the case is past
arguing about, it can only be ejaculated over.
Imperialism, or the preference of absolute power,
wielded on the military, the legitimist, or the hap-
hazard principle, is, in fact, nothing but an evidence
of political despair. Despotism in eivilisedeountries
is the necessary result of the failure of freedom, and
the inability of any race or generation to work it as
a governing principle.
The system of free government failed in France,
because it was first introduced into that country
coupled with national humiliation. And that first
failure was not redeemed, as it might have been, by
making the French people appreciate the advantages
of representative government. It was fully in the
power of the statesmen of Louts PuiLterft's time
to have communicated the blessings of &constitution to
the people at large, and to have taught the peasant
and the artizan to feel that their interests were cared
for. The Orleanist politicians did nothing of the
kind. It was merely the high taxpayers who named
the deputies, and who reaped in return that place.
and those influences which are the guerdon
of political support. The French people were
left out of the pale of the constitutional
system. Why or how, therefore, could they be ex-
pected to prefer, much less to fight for, a government
which ostentatiously ignored them, against a govern-
ment which, like the Imperial one, certainly makes a
parade of consulting their apparent interests, and
goes out of its way to procure them high wages and
cheap bread ?

Representative monarchy- has failed in France—
failed by its perversion of the representative system,
and its resolute negation of reform before 1848, and
by its unaccountable ladies in that great moment of
trial. But the most fatal symptom which has be-
fallen constitutional monarchy in France is the total
oblivion that has enveloped it since its fail.
Had it any bold of the country, the inevitable
number of malcontents which every government,

meehes of your criminal legislation ;AC; which
ought on all grounds to be excluded from it. The
position of a trustee is at present sufficiently onerous
and irksome, and every care ought to be taken not
to render it more so by any change of the law. As
the cane now stands a trustee is punishable in equity
foe any departure from the letter of the trust, however
pare may have been his motives; however iniquitous
they may have been, he is not criminally punishable.
Sir Rieman BETHELL suggests a middle ease.
Suppose a trustee to have misappropriated trust
funds by employing them in his own business
or in his own speculations, and makes a profit by it,
replacing the funds he has so employed. This em-
ployment of the property committed to his charge
may be condoned by one or all of the cestui qui
trusts, who may claim their share of the profit. In
that case there can be no pursuit directed against
the trustee. But if some of the parties interested
enter into that arrangement, and others object, what
then ? Is it a fraudulent breach of trust or no ?
We think that the result is by no means the criterion
as to the morality of an act. A man who fires a
pistol in another's face is as morally guilty of an
attempt to murder though the weapon should miss
fire as though the ball bad struck and wounded his
victim. So, in like manner, a trustee who employs
the funds in his charge upon an operation which may
or may not turn out profitable, and who, more espe-
cially, does so secretly and without the sanction of
those for whom he is trustee, is committing a wrong,
and by his secrecy of action betrays that he commits
• wrong knowingly.
With regard to breaches of trust of that descrip-
tion which has of late become so flagrantly notorious
—the perpetration of frauds by directors and officers
of public companies—more specific legislation is
perhaps required. Sir R. BETHELL has prepared •
series of clauses expressly framed for the purpose of
striking at all the complicated profligacy of mis-
management with which recent experience has made
us but too well acquainted. Beeping false ac-
counts, making false entries, disguising the nature
of those transactions by false representations, making
fraudulent misstatements of the affairs of • company,

especially an Imperial absolutism, must create, would
have rallied to the Orleans party. Instead of this,
no one has rallied to that family or cause, whilst
men of the greatest note have quitted it. At the
present moment elections are about to take place for
deputies. The Orleanists recommend their friends
and followers not to vote. This recommendation is

exceedingly well ; for friends and followers
they literally have none ; and the most decent way
of concealing their non-existence is to pretend that
they abstained from voting in disgust.
Arc there no hopes, then, for monarchy in France?
Hope is a misplaced word. Legitimist monarchy
Hung away its chance, both in the last century• and
in this. Constitutional monarchy flung away its
chance by not having known how, or cared how
to strike its roots into the popular soil during the
eighteen long years of its supremacy. There re-
mains the military and Imperial monarch. Is he
taking root ? Is he gathering popularity, and lay-
ing up a store of national attachment? We may
safely leave it to his own friends to answer the
question.

But what is to come after ? The great use of
hereditary sovereignty is, that it bridges over the
chasm caused by the death of a ruler, and spares the
country even the fear of convulsion. hoes the
Imperial regime do this ? That is the question for
Imperialism to answer. The continuance of dynastic
succcesion, after the first great guarantee of the
indisputable right and revered character of the
reigning Sovereign, finds its second guarantee in
the existence of an eminent and influential body of
men, the social chiefs of the nation, deeply pledged
by interest and inclination to the maintenance of the
existing system. But has the present regime of
French Imperialism formed such a body ? The
chief counsellors of LOUIS NAPOLEON are Messrs.
Firm and ABBATTIXCL Can such hands transmit
Imperial succession ?
It is enough, then, to reply to any would-be Im-
perialists here, that the admired Imperialism of
France has not yet provided what is the first and
greatest use of monarchy, tranquil succession ; and
that in consequence the State hangs over a precipice,
down which any accident may impel it. At the
bottom of that precipice lies nothing but
a raging republic. We have every respect for
a republic in which all classes join, and to
which they contribute their enlightenment, their
energy, their influence, in fair proportions. But
for a Venetian republic, or a communist republic, we
have no respect at all. And until the upper and
lower classes in France come to regard each other
with some feelings of human forbearance, instead
of those of almost animal hate, a republic will be
but a lair of wild beasts.
This forms the sole strength of Imperialism: it b
the least bad of three or four very bed alternatives. I
It deserves to be tolerated in consequence. Bat
because many sensible men tolerate it aa an alter-
native, to infer that any one sensible man should
idolise it for itself, is indeed the most preposterous

or paying dividends out of fictitious capital, are each
and all to be made criminally punishable. This legisla-
tion is all in the right direction. It is satisfactory also
to find that Sir 'hems° BETHEL!, though he declines
being dictated to by "the newspapers," intents to try
how far the existing law will meet the case of the
Royal British Bank Directors.
The second Bill for the settlement of the affairs of
Joint Stock Compania in a state of insolvency
is one which can only be effectively examined with
the whole of its clauses before ua. The desirability
of potting an end to the clashing of jurisdictions,

piece of political philosophy that could possibly
enter an Englishman's head.
In this point of view, the writer in liwur
deserves credit for running • tilt at Imperialism.
But in doing so, be is sovereignly unjust to the
Great NaroLxox. He is also unjust to the French
people, who know full well to what they bow,
and why they do so. He is moreover blindly
partial to what he calls the representative or con-
stitutional system, which may be either a blessing
or a curse, a truth or a lie, and which, when given
but in name and in seeming, neither works the
happiness nor wins the platitude of a people. It is
the constitutional Toryism of M. OUIZOT, far more
than any excesses of anarchy, far more even than any
efforts or any wisdom of the EMPEROR himself, that
has mainly contributed to the fortunes of Imperialism
in France.
