FRANCE.
PARIS, San. 11, Evening.
The debate um the Address was commenced at
the sitting cf the Corps Legislatif to-day.
M. Thiers snowed that the necessity for liberty
was now universal in Europe. He maintained that
the Emperor might become the initiator of freedom.
The speaker caimed the re-establishment of that
liberty the exercise of which was suspended by the
Empire, and insisted particularly upon the neces-
sity of restoring liberty to the national representa-
tion, and of re-introducing •Ministerial responsi-
bility. M. Thiers further showed that France was
ripe for liberty, and said, "If the Chief of the State
does not know how to cede, the country will exact
that which it now respectfully requests." Upon this
condition M. Thiers promised his unreserved sup-
port to the Government.

M. Rouher, in reply, recalled the words used by
M. Thiers, " The country will exact," and stated
that he centidored that expression a threat, of which
the Government was not afraid, as it did ❑ot belong
to those wham people menaced. M. Rouher main-
tained that none of the liberty demanded by M.
Thiers was deficient in the country, that the Par-
liamentary system which it was sought to bring
back had hal its day, that the Emperor reigns and
governs, and that liberty would follow when the
time had arrived, but that it was necessary to wait.

M. Jules Fevre, replying to the speech of M.
Rouher, reprodaced in part the arguments of M

Thiers.

'I he debate will be continued to-morrow.

COLONEt HOPE.—We are requested by the
friends of Colonel Hope to state that the accounts
received by than to the 3d of December, from Nowshera,
near Peshawar, and also by the India-office, lead them to
believe that the report of his having died of his wounds is
not correct.

THE LATE LOttb tLGIN.—The result of the post
mertern tieraination of the late Lord Elgin has
proved whet had been suspected from the first—that his
death was Sot attributed to any disease of Indian origin.
It was foutd that the heart was in a state of what is called
Pra'3"iontllY "fatty degeneration"—that is, that it had
lost its oulscular character, and becomes weak and dilated.
The right ventricle was fatally affected. There was also
advanced lisease of the kidneys. The changes in the struc-
ture of thtso vital organs had been long in progress. It is
strange that they had not earlier given marked evidence of
their exisvnce, for they would have proved fatal under any
circumstances and in any climate.
Vie understand that Mr. John Paget, of the
Middle rample, who has had considerable experi-
elle° in criminal business at the Liverpool Sessions and on
the Northern Circuit, has been appointed a metropolitan
police magistrate, in the room of Mr. Combo, deceased.
Mr. Woolryoh will succeed Mr. Comb() at the Southwark
Police Court, and Mr. Paget will take Mr. Woolrych's
1 place at the Thames police.

ECUTION AT MELIIOURNE.—A Melbourne
letter of Nov. 25 says
We have had of late an
unusual atuatber of murders. Western Australia, of course,
hart eontribwed her contingent of offenders; Tasmania
hers. Among several other very horrible cases, we have
witnessed within the last fortnight the brat female exeCti- I
tion ever known in Victoria. A Woman, young and very
good-looking, was hanged a few days back for inciting and
taking part with her paramour and with a third murderer,
her servant, in tho deliberate shooting through the head of
her own husband as he lay sleeping off a drunken debauch
in his tent at one of the distant diggings. In company
with the two men she walked from her cell to the gallows
with the indifference—for all that appeared outwardly—of
one taking an ordinary morning walk. It has been ascer-
tained that all of these criminals are but late arrivals in
this colony; that all received their education,—such as it
was—in England ; and, therefore, even our moderate people
grow somewhat intemperate in speech when they read of
fresh intended arrivals from the same country via WI-astern
Australia.
