living on the bounty of the parish should allow
their children to grow up in a state of barbarous
ignorance. The State is not only bound to insist
upon the outdoor pauper children being sent to
school, but is also bound to supply the means of
sending them there to those who cannot afford it.
The only class which remains is that of the indoor
paupers. No one has ventured to dispute their
claim to be properly cared for. The existing
law in the very strongest terms recognises the ne-
cessity of providing them not only with food and
clothing, but with education. These are the
human creatures who must be cared for by the
State or perish. And bow are they cared for f
According to the Report for 1860-1 there
were some 28,000 children in workhouse
schools. These schools are within the walls of
the workhouse ; and the children are within all
those contaminating influences which are insepa-
rable from pauperism and profligacy. Experience
has demonstrated the impossibility of preserving

children under such circumstances from degradii-
tion, but it has also demonstrated the possibility of
elevating their moral tone and exciting the spirit
of self-respect and independence by placing
them in schools quite apart from the
workhouse and all its associations. This
remedy has been pointed out again and again.
Nor is there any doubt that if the PRESIDENT of
the POOR-LAW BOARD were reasonably energetic
he would have no difficulty in passing an Act to
compel boards of guardians to create such district
or separate schools.

.-
1 pon the whole, it seems that with respect to
destitute children the Industrial Schools Act will, if
properly worked, meet every case of which the
State can take cognizance, and that if DENISON'S
Act were made compulsory and separate or dis-
trict schools were erected, the condition both of
the out-door and of the in-door pauper children
would be made as satisfactory as legislation can
make it.

EIEPRESS FROM PARIS.
(sicu oca owl; oosair.sroirnssr.)
ti
PARIS, WCDNZISDAT BUM&
According to the Preme, a rumour was current in
Paris last night that the French government had
sent an ultimatum to Borne requiring satisfaction
within twenty-four houis. Although this news,
judging from the hostile language of the govern-
ment press, and the logical necessities of the situa-
ation, is not absolutely destitute of probability, I
greatly doubt its truth. In confirmation of these
doubts, I find it stated, in the latest news of the
Temps, that the depots belonging to regiments in
Italy have just received orders to send out all the
men who had finished their circumstance
which certainly tends to negative the idea of the
evacuation of Rome. Any other satisfaction, how-
ever, would be ludicrously useless. The attitude
of the Holy See is daily more violent towards
France, and the 'muffed support given by
the Pope to De Hero& shows the inan-
ity of the argument, upon which, to keep up
a transparent fiction, the Comaitutionnel continues
to insist, that the Pope personally is well disposal
The reception that any friendly overtures from
Paris are likely to meet with from the Cardinals at
the present time, may be judged of by the follow-
ing extract from the Omereatare Romano, a journal
published under the direct influence of the papal
cabinet. After expressing a belief that the French
garrison will continue to protect Rome, this organ
proceeds iu this intimidating strain :

The catholic powers are ready, arms in hand, to avenge
all outrages and spoliation of the common father. The
certainty that the eldest son of the church will continue to
act alone restrains them ; but if this certainty should cease,
woe to Europe! To the indignation of two hundred mil-
lions of catholic would be joined the justice of God
M. Gamier, a writer in the Gazette de France,
and a great catholic authority, by no means share*
the confidence in the eldest son of the church
affected by the Roman journal, for in a pamphlet,
just published, with the title of "Allows h Rome,"
he laments that all hope in the French govern-
ment is at an end, and calls upon the remnant of
Castelfidardo to gird on the sword. The Prase
quietly remarks upon the delusion of the Pope in
relying upon his two hundred millions of catholic*
that hitherto they have only furnished in answer
to his numerous and pressing appeals about five
hundred volunteers and a miserable sum of money.
It moreover retorts upon the Osserrntore Roma no
that France is now not the eldest son of the
church, but of the revolution.

The Cardinal Archbishop of Naples was put
under arrest by Cialdini, although he was sub-
sequently allowed, or rather forced to leave the
country. When the carriage appointed to take
him to the frontier was at his door, he clenched his
lists and exclaimod " Matedetto I" which cry, beard
by the crowd, was responded to by 'acclamations of
" Vivo Victor Emmanuel !" " Vive Garibaldi !"
" Vive Cialdini !" " Vivo Italy !"
A Paris
.letter in the Indepeadance of Brussels
says :

Acoonting to information which I consider u positive,
(metal de Goyon has written to the Emperor, complaining
of the publicity given in such terms to the scene which
took place between bim Lad the pro-Minister of Arms. The
General is said to have written in the name sense to the
Minister of War.

There has been a decided upward movement at
the Bourse to-day. The Route rose 200. for cash,
and 15c. for account, closing at 681 r. 40c. and
881 r. 50c. Mobilier rose Bfr. 7150. The Lyons
Railway rose 161 r. 25c. ; Southern, 12fr. 50c. ;
Orleans, Bfr. 75c. ; Eastern and Western, sfr.
each ; and Northern, 3fr. 75c.
Great alarm was occasioned at the Paris Poet-
office the evening before last by flames suddenly
breaking out near the clock. The firemen, how-
ever, in the building succeeded in extinguishing
the fire before any great damage was done. The
conflagration was occasioned in this way :—ln the
daytime, in order to prevent the action of the
sun on the works of the clock, a blind is drawn
over them, and in the evening it is removed. The
man charged with the duty to take it away forgot
to remove it, and when the gas was lighted the
canvas caught fire.

An Englishman named Ward, 57 years of age,
was, the day before yesterday, tried by the Tri-
bunal of Correctional Police of Orleans, on the
charge of picking pockets. A bookseller named
Cottel stated that, on the 2nd of July last, he took
a third-class place at the railway station in that
city, and that when the door was opened to admit
the passengers to the carriages, there was con-
siderable pushing ; he all at once felt a hand
thrust into his pocket, and at the same moment
missed his portemonnaie. A person in the crowd
remarked that, as the prisoner pushed rudely, it
was probable that it was be who had stolen the
purse. lie went to the carriage in which the man
had placed himself, and on seeing him the latter
seemed uneasy, and appeared to drop something.
Immediately after a female seated near him cried
out, " Here is a portemonnaie ! Who has lost
one 7" The portemonnaie was that of the witness,
and as there was no doubt that Ward had dropped
it, he was at once taken into custody. The pri-
soner, who did not speak French, protested,
through an interpreter, that he wan innocent, and
maid that he was a respectable tradesman in Lon-
don. He declared that his reason for being in
France was that he had come to look after his wife,
who had run away from him. The Tribunal con-
demned him to eight months' imprisonment.
The Courier du Pas de Calais (an organ of the
prefecture) say :

" We have received a letter from Fontainebleau, which,
we are happy to state, proves to be totally unfounded
certain rumours respecting the Emperor's health
which have been propagated, and which some per-
sons seemed inclined to credit, in spite of the con-
tradictions in the Munikur. The Emperor returned to
Fontainebleau from Vichy in the best state of health.
His Majesty looks uncommonly well ; he is both active and
in good spirits. On the 2nd the Emperor made in the
forest a promenade of ten leagues in a carriage and three on
foot—the latter up steep paths and among rocks—and did
not return to the palace with his suite until half-peat 10
in the evening, his Majesty Loins the least fatigued of the
party. A. to the Empress her Majesty walks much, and
wears to protect her feet gaiters on the Zouave model.
Both their Majesties, in fact, display activity of which it is
difficult inform an kith.

In corroboration of this account of tho Emperor's
exoellent state of health, a person who breakfasted
at the imperial table the day after the court re-
turned to St. Cloud, informs us that no one could
possibly look better than his Majesty, and during
the whole time the party were at table—about an
hour and a half—the Emperor conversed freely
and gaily with all those who were present. As a
council of ministers had been held just before, the
persona at table were 26, and all remarked with
great satisfaction the decided improvement which
was apparent in his Majesty's looks.

HER mvssrra VISIT TO IRT,LAND.

The Dublin Even- Mail inakei the following
comments on the p of the corporation which we
/sported yesterday
Tea QUM AND THE ADDRISB OF THE CORPORA.
TlON.—From the report of the proceedings of the Corpora-
tics respecting the address they purpose presenting to the
Queen, on the occasion of her Majesty's visit to Ireland,
our readers will see that it has been intimated to the Lord
Mayor that circumstances will not allow of her Majesty
reserriug the municipal body, but that the address may be
sent through the Secretary of State in attendance. Hsw
Majesty, however, with her wonted courtesy, expresess her
willingness, should the Lord Mayor prefer to deliver the
address personally and alone, to receive it from his hands.
Tbe resaon luisigned for this course, in the communication made
to the Lord Mayor, by direction of the Lord Lieutenant, is,
that 'the Queen cannot receive it in state on the throne, as,
it is understood, an address from the Lord Mayor and Cor-
poration of Dublin is entitled to be received, because her
Majesty's visit on this occasion is strictly private.' The de-
cision thus arrived at by whose province it is to make the
requisite arrangement.' in connexion with her Majesty's
movementa, we entirely approve of. If it may have been
thought that, under the circnnurtances court etiquette might
have unbent • little, and the Queen consented to receive the
municipal body in a less informal way than prescribed by
strict usage, the proceedings at the meeting of the corpora-
tion yesterday must convince all capable of understanding
such things, that such a comae could not be adopted, except
at the risk of exposing her Majesty to that ignorant and in-
solent intrusion, against the recurrence of which, the expe-
rience of what occurred on the occasion of the visit of the
Prince of Wales, ham no doubt warned those in attendance on
the Queen to take proper precautions. After the revolution
of the corporation for the preparation of an address bad
passed, up rose Alderman John Reynolds, and proposed
that a paragraph should be inserted in the address, ' pray-
ins her Majesty to exert her high influence for the re-
storation of the Galway subsidy ! ' Incredible as this
may seem—although, considering the quarter from
which the proposition came, it is credible—will it
be believed not only that the provision met with
• seconder, but was put and adopted? One would have
thought that at any .time respect for the wishes of the
royal lady—that her visit should be made and enjoyed in
privacy—would have forbidden such a proposal as soon as it
rose in the mind of any man, even though his nature wend
the coarsest ; that it should hare received • seconder is
absolutely marvellous. But might not some sympathy with
her Majesty in that domestic affliction, whose heavy shade
has hardly yet even lightened its gloom, have just now, if at
no other time, silenced the voice of even the rudest and moat
vulgar who seek the gratification ofJ their petty vanity by
such unwarrantable intrusions? Such men there are, how-
ever, who are deaf to all impulses either of generosity or of
good taste; and therefore those in attendance on her Majesty
have very properly fallen back on the protection of that
ceremony which it is the privilege of royalty to avail itself
of on occasions of doubt.
