MR. M. T. RA WES.

anal and
no." W:
,chosen of eight millions, we assert that at this me tiferit-
he divides his popularity even in France with Omen],
Victoria. " Perfide Albion," in the gentle guise f a
'most gracious Queen, is reposing in loving confidence on
the heart of Fran Ce. Without one sentimental app dal
Jo chronology or topography, which we leave to learia ed
contemporaries ; without lugging forward that etersaal
Froi-sart, doomed at the present day to be resuscita ts id
at the pleasure of any one who wishes to point a pa ra-
graph ; without, in short, any lumbering historical-f act
iu the way of proof, we are safe in declaring that thus
I is one of the most significant facts in modern history.
It is a fact which has such a large significance that it
may be understood by any one who knows no more of
history than may be learned by the perusal of the recor
of the events of the last twenty years. During this Sim&
the antagonism between the countries has several ti ;fleet
reached its height. Princes of the blood royal in France
have endeavoured to found political capital on this ais-
tagonisen, and have sought popularity by showing hoW*
delightfully the shores of England might, be ravaged at
the smallest trouble and cost. French statesmen 'have
appealed to this antagonism, and have mounted several
steps of the political ladder by denunciation of " perfae
AlLion,." French writers and musicians have sought to
make themselves a name by writing and giving musical
emphasis to some such phrases as, being interpreted,
mean " Never, oh never, shall the English reign in
France." But all this haze, the product of the hot fire of
political selfishness, applied by princes and statesmen,
writ. rs and artists, to the stream of an imperfectly
educated public opinion, has been swept away, never,
we hole, to return, and the two nations see each
other clearly, with all their great qualities sharply
lefined in the transparent atmosphere of truth, This
is a fact which wants no illustration from anciant or
medimval history. It is one which appeals to the snost
important feelings, awakened by the knowledge of re-
cent facts. Two mighty sovereigns can visit etch oth,sr
without any difficulty, except that arising from the tre-'
mendous enthusiasm excited by the subjects of each,
Tne circumstances of the ceremony, as they have been
related in the public journals, are calculated to bring for-
ward the greatness of the fact in its strongest light. The
Emperor of the French advances to tho edge of his do-
minions, hat in hand, to welcome his greatest ally. The
,nhabitante of his vast empire cheer the Queen
unmistakeable "hurrahs," a cheer which they have
learned for the purpose of giving her welcome, in terms
with which her ears have been long acquainted. They .
wish her to believe herself, for the time, amidst her own
I.ehjects. They would desire that even the temporary
Uneasiness arising from the feeling of absence from her
!native land should he forgotten. The only musical strains
that she hears are those of the familiar air of "God save
the Queen" pealing from a vast chorus of instruments and'
,v,,iees. In the midst of this jubilant chorus the Queen
lands. She is received by the descendant of Napoleon and
the inheritor of his power with respectful homage. He
'raises her hand to his lips; and salutes her after the
fashion of his country by kissing her on both cheeks.
He th'n constitutes himself, for the time, the head of'
leer Majesty's body-guard. He bands the whole royal
barty into the carriage, and, mounting his horse, rides
:pn the left side, followed by his staff. This is her mot t
o the station. Her reception there is worthy of flee
Etnperor and the mighty nation whose destiny he con-
Isola. Amidst the cheering of countless numbers of
Frenchmen, the Queen of England and her Imperial host
liepart for the capital of France.
Malting all allowance for the evanescence of enthu-
siasm excited by peculiar circumstances, it cannot be
denied that something solid will he deposited as the re-
sult of the meeting which has just taken place. It is as
much a meeting of the nations as of the Sovereigns.
Most of us remember, some years back, a visit paid to
England by a S•ivereign who came recommended by all
the dysasties of the continent. He was considered a
model of an Emperor by every court in Europe. He
Tought, however, no-credentials from the nations over
‘jhose destinies those courts held sway. Nicholas was
ted by Sovereigns whose subjects cursed him in their
[farts. He arrived here, and the Queen, in the exercise
d that courtesy which a brother Sovereign claimed, gave
he Czar the benefits of all the rites of hospitality.
3nt the people were dumb. He showered his money
,pout right imperially, but he never obtained his money's
spate He bought jewels, but not a single smile. The
ristoeracy fawned on him, but the people hated him.
lbw true is the instinct of a nation ! This man, the
Ma of the dynasties, goes back to Russia to embroil all
Europe in a war. The silence of the nations was pro-
olietic. They smelt blood as the tyrant pas ed among
them. Contrast the reception which the Autocrat er-
perients d with that of Napoleon 111. in Eng and, and
that of Queen Victoria in France. The people in both
countries know that there is something far more signi-
ficant in the meetings of these two Sovereigns than a
mere interchange of regal courtesies. They know that
in this case the Sovereigns are the exponents of the feel-
ings of the citizens of each country. They know that
such meetings are a pledge that the league against de-
potism and barbarism will be strengthened. " Cirill-
ntion" was the word inscribed on the gigantic scroll
odd by the statue surmounting the triumphal arch
tnder which the Queen entered the railway station. It
s the cause of civilisation which the union of England
,n 4 France is intended to advocate, While these two
lations remain united, civilisation will not retrograde.
f they separate, civilisation will ba overwhelmed by
',clod of barbarism fr.,m the North. The people of Eue
and and France know this, and recognise therefore in
me'visit of Queen Victoria not only a seal of present
ieadship, but an earnest of future security.

consequence of the announcement of the Right
Hon. M. T. Baines to his Leeds constituents, that he
had (been eotnpelled by ill health to relinquish his cffice
as President of the Poor Law Board, a meeting of his
.lection committee was held on Saturday last. Mr.
Willfinson presided, and the following resolution was
proppsed by Mr. F. Carbutt, and seconded by Mr.. D.
Lupton :
" l'hgt this meeting has learned with deep regret
that their valued representative has been driven by tL
impaired state of his health to resign an office over

which he has so long presided with an amount of satis-
faction to all classes of the community and to all ranks

and parties which is probably unparalleled in the annals
of Poor Law administration. While it would leave to

the official boards with which he has been brought more
closely into contact to refer to the value of Mr. Bainea's
service in thew intercourse with him, yet it is desirous

of recording its strong conviction thai both as a legis-
!ator and as an administrator, the urbanity, the cour-
tesy, and the conciliatory disposition of Mr. Baines
have ' materially softened the asperities and mitigated
the difficulties inseparable from the present system ;
while his great experience and practical strong sense
have ever tended to bring that system more into har-
mony with the feelings and the.wante of the community.
This meeting entertains the sincere desire that the relax-
ation from the buriens aced cares of office may soon re-
store its representative to his former health and vigour.
It won'd record its eetire approval of the course adopted
by him in relinquishing office ; it would join with him in
the confident hope that his present leisure will enable
him to devote himself with increased zeal and mstduity
to his (duties as representative ; and it w could convey to
him the assurance of their cordial support in wt atever
efloits he may make to promote judi lous and extetisive
reform in the administration, and to infuse sound and
enlightened principles into the legislation of the empire."
The resolution was adopted unanimously, and it leas
agreed that the rhairm (11r. Wilkinson) shonid write
to Mr. Baines relative to the mee ing and its procee
and that Mr. Carbutt, as a depttatt.-n from the meeting:
should press nt tie resolution to Mr. Baines personally in.
London. Mr. Carbutt accordingly presented the resolu-
tion on Wednesday last to Mr. Baines, and the right
hon. gentleman acknowledged its receipt in the following
letter, addressed to the chairman of the meeting :
" 13, Queen's-square' Westminster, Aug. 15.

THE COLLIERS' TURN-OrT NEAR RIIABON.—The entire
body of men are still standing out, arid no overtures have
been made, either by men or masters, to reconcile differ.
encea. Some inflammatory letters and statements have
been published, which have excited the passions of the
men, and rendered reconciliation almost impossible. It
ha-i been suggested that the entire dispute be referred to
one or two of the leading magistrates in the neighbour -
hood. Such a measure might be attended with the beet
results.

tered the celebrated edifice leaning on the arm of the
