every true-hearted Englishman and Frenchman—
every one, iu fact, untainted by the pro-Russian

mania.

A place unmentionable to ears polite is said to
be paved with good intentions. The saying may
be true or false, but in the happy absence of ac-
quaintance with the topography of the locale in
question we may say, by way of confirmation of
its truth, that analogy would lead us to believe
it. With the best meaning in the world, there
are many individuals who, unintentionally, do
their best to annoy, impede, or render miserable
evorybody about them. In the domestic circle,
in affairs of business, in the Church, and in the
State their virtuous intentions are hardly to be
gathered from the tendency of their actions. For-
tunately, however, it sometimes happens, by a
merciful dispensation of PROVIDENCE, that indivi-
duals of this class while permitted to carry about
with them the bane, are compelled to dispense
along with it, the antidote. They cannot be dan-
gerously mischievous, because it is their fate to be
ridiculous.

LAM EST NEWS.

DANTZIO, FRIDAY.

How far these remarks are applicable to the
enlightened Legislator who objected to the Beer
Bill being read a first time last night we leave the
reader to determine for himself, simply remarking
that it is not necessary to our purpose that they
should closely dovetail with the particular facts.
The hon. gentleman to whom- we refer has, it is
well known, a favourite hobby, to wit, a belief.
that " to eat grass like a horse," drink nothing
but the ADAM'S specific, go to bed early and get
up with the lark, comprises a good deal of the
whole duty of man. Accordingly, he has taken
care every session to remind the House that " early
to bed and early to rise " is the way to make one
"healthy, wealthy, and wise," by pressing a mo-
tion binding it over not to persist in " not going
home till morning, till daylight does appear,"
and this without the remotest chance of success.
Had this been all, though under all the circum-
stances there might be fair occasion for blame,
considering the needless waste of valuable time it
causes, and the fact that hon. members generally
awake at about eleven in the evening to a capacity
for business, we might have been contented with
following the example of the House, to the extent
of laughing behind the curtain at the sexagena-
rian vegetarian, and pointing a moral for the
edification of young vegetarians from his fate.
This, however, is not all. We have some little
reason to think that his legislatorial dislikings have
now and then been disingenuously sought to be
subserved by an apparent indulgence of his hobby,
and we are apprehensive this was the case last
night. To desire the failure of a bill so impera-
tively called for as the Beer (Amendment.) Bill
was foolish enough to raise doubts of a man's
sanity. Reasons of state, as well as consider-
ations of justice and mercy, preponderated—to
kicking the beam in favour of the measure being
rapidly passed. In the thick of a mighty contest,
and the interval between two Parliamentary ses-
sions, it was no minor duty to amend a law that
hebdomadally stimulated the industrial popula-
tion to discontent by its infringements on their
liberties and comforts. Nor at any time could a
law be amended too soon that, instead of encou-
raging the people to temperance, goaded them to
dissipation. Not only, however, did the Hon.
Member desire this, but he took up also, if we are
not mistaken, the disingenuous step of opposing
the going of the bill being brought in because of
the lateness of the hour. Of course his opposition
failed, and he was laughed at ; but his want of
success, and the ridicule attaching to him do not
render it the less necessary to express disapproba-
tion of such conduct. It may not prove dan-
gerously mischievous when witnessed, but with
his high moral character the record of it, unac-
companied by rebuke, might.

COWES, ISLE OP WIGHT.--July 2G.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

The Lightning has arrived from the fleet. The
latter has been reinforced, but nothing of import-
ance had taken place. The order to attack Revel

must be realm:ld to what it was at the beginning
of the year, viz., 72 millions of florins (the florin
is about 2 francs). Tis would cause a reduction
of 11 millions of .11.1rin
