deed, always been to disclaim inquiry into We
root of title where universal or general acquies-
cence prevailed amongst a friendly people in some
newly-chosen form of rule. Our acknowledgments
of the Monarchy of the Barricades, of the
Republic of 1848, and of the Restored Empire of
1852, have often been cited, and are clear and
incontestable evidences of our unmeddling dispo-
sition. But England has never made herself an
accomplice with rebels to throw off their allegiance
to their lawful Government either before or after
the fact, and then based her recognition of their
success, as Mr. Gazoosr imagines, upon some
blind and perfidious rule of de facto sovereignty.
It was not until after three years of successful
revolt that even Mr. CANNING proposed to recog-
nise the emancipated colonies of Spain ; and it was
not until after six years of desperate self-assertion
that the Greeks found him ready to admit their
having made good their title to formal acknow-
ledgment by England as a separate people. When
either of the examples can be cited with any pa-
rallel as to character or circumstance it will be
time enough to discuss what the British Govern-
ment ought to do in North America ; but we may
make ourselves very easy upon that score, for
such an occasion we shall never see.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(flOl 001 OWN

PARIS, WZDNIMAT Emma

M. Taconet, the manager of the Monde, and M.
Crampon, the writer of the money articles in that
journal, appeared this morning at the bar of the
Sixth Correctional Chamber as defendants in an
action of libel, brought by MM. Emile and Isaac
Pereira, Adolphe d'ltichthal, Duke Raphael de
Galliera, and others, directors of the Crscdit Mobi-
lier Society. In consequence of the absence of M.
Berryer, who (with Jules Yam) is counsel for the
Mode, the case stands over till Wednesday next.
M. Cretnieux will appear for the Credit Mobilier.
The alleged libels are contained in the Monde of
April 28 and 29.

The Pays announces that M. Cranier de Cassag-
nac, who " more and more takes an active part in
the labours of the Corps Legislatif," ceases to be its
political director, and cedes the post to M. Paulin
Limayrac, who is translated from the Patric. At
the same time, M. Lirnayrac, who signs the an-
nouncement of the change, says he is happy to
leans that M. Grimier de Cassagnac's pen will not
be lost to the "governmental press." This
latter intimation lends countenance to a
rumour that the seceder from the Pays is
to go back to his old place at the Constitutionne/.
But in that case, what becomes of the insinuation
that his increasing importance as a legislator is in-
compatible with the functions of a government
journalist 1 The new editor of the Pays, in anti-
cipation of the question, what are your political
opinions, replies in a rather grand style, Si menu-
' Illent.on tiwtris circusispice—" those who have read

the Petrie for the last three years will be able to
tell our new readers what we are." I rather think
the Paris will not feel flattered in being classed
with the Pays as a "government journal." There
is a vein of independence and liberality in the
Patric which distinguishes it materially from the
other paper ; and although M. Limayrac has been
allowed to write d la Cassagnsc in its columns, it
has other men on its staff of a different stamp.
The Courrier du Bas Rhin protests against M.
Keller'i speech, and takes upon itself to say that
he does not represent the opinions of his con-
stituents in Alsatia.

The indipendance mentions a rumour, of which I
have heard nothing, that X. About has sent M.
Heller a challenge.
The Constihitionnel says that Prince Murat, who
has been very unwell for some days, yesterday
suffered a painful operation in the neck, but that
his state is not in any way dangerous.
It is not a white elephaat in flesh and blood
that General d'Orgoni has brought to Paris, but
the decoration of the Order of the White Elephant,
which the Emperor of Burmah sends to Napoleon

M. Ganeeco has been allowed to return to France
to fulfil a matrimonial engagement with Mdlle.
Feuillo de Chauvin.

Tho Bourse improved considerably ; the Bente
rate 26c. both for cash and account, closing at
63fr. Mobilier rose 10fr. The Lyons Railway rose
12fr. 50c. ; Orleans, 7fr. 50c. ; and Northern,
3fr. 75c. ; in the other lines there was little
change.
A grand military steeplechase is to take place at
LaMarche on Sunday next, for 5,000 fr., of which
S,ooofr. are given by the Administration des
Hares, for horses of four years old and upwards,
of all countries. Entry, 200 fr., half forfeit. Eng-
lish and French officers, both of the army and
navy, on active service, and those of the Adminis-
tration des Hares, may ride. Another steeple-
chase is to take place afterwards for 12,000 fr., for
four years old and upwards of all countries.
Entry, 60fr. The winner may be claimed for
B,ooofr.

ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY.
...41....
_ _

The second flower and fruit show of the season
given by the Royal Botanic Society was most successful.
The weather did not quite make up its mind to be fir until
an advanced hour ; but if there was little sun there was no
rain, and the air we soft and pleasant.
The gardens of the society are now at the height of their
summer glory, and yesterday were peopled with groups
gathered from the leading circles of London society. The
inspection of flowers and fruit wee • difficult matter, but
we managed to make the discovery that the winners of high
prizes richly deserved them. As usual, the unless were
the prominent objects, in the fulness of their exquisitely
tinted blooms. With them were ranged the pelargoniums ;
and outvieing, both in depth and richness of colour, though
not in graceful form of blossom, were the calceolarias. • The
varieties of stove and greenhouse plants presented an
almost infinite field of novel admiration. In the group of
sixteen plants which brought the first prize, a gold medal,
to the exhibitor, Mr. May, a most conspicuous and attrac-
tive specimen was the Pimetia Headereeni, which, though
common enough at the Antipodes, made a very considera-
ble figure in the Regent's-park. The first prLar for
twelve varieties fell to Messrs. J. and J. Framer,
of Lea.bridge, whose Fines Oteellata, a plant with dark
green oval leaves, end • spreading white flower with • small
carmine centre, was pronounced lovely, in our hearing, by
several lady judges in succession. The first prize for the
varieties was gained by Mr. Green, gardener to Sir Edward
Autrobas. Mass. Lane and Son took the tint prise
for roue but where run bard by some other ee-
-1
Aaron. The exotic orchids made a rich and curi-
ous show. Strangeness and diversity characterised
some of these plants and their flowers even more than
beauty of shape and colour. The first prize, for ten
varieties, pined by Mr. Wolley, of Cbeshunt, included
some very singular specimens. The caps heaths were
mostly in wonderful bloom. The first prize, won by
many lengths, belonged to Mr. Peed, gardener
to F. Tredwell, Req., of Norwood ; and the
central plant of the group, • magnificent erica depress,with
countless yellow blossoms delicately shaded by green,
seemed only to rat the sunshine upon it to be the most
beautiful object in that part of the marquee. Ferns are
justifying that attention and care which have of late years
been bestowed on them. Mr. Beillie, gardener to W. C.
Carbonell, Faq., was the chief prize-holder; and the second
medal was worthily obtained by Miss Clarkson, of the
Armors:ad, Regent's-park, whose specimens were hardly
lees remarkable for tare in their arrangement than for in.
triniic merit. The fruit was splendid.
The afternoon's pleasure wee heightened by the music of
the bands of the let and 2nd Life Guards, and the Royal
Rona Guards (Blue). We must not conclude this notice
of • delightful exhibition without mentioning Mr. John
Waterer's American plants, which form a distinct show
of themselves. They are in full flower at present, and will
remain so for about a fortnight.
The Prince Consort, the King of the Belgians, the
Princess Alice, the Princess Louise, Prince Louis of Reese,
the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Mary, visited
the gardens in the course of the day.
