FINE ARTS.
PRINCE LOUIS NAPOLEON.
111‘Lean, Haymarket.
Incomparably the best portrait of the Prince Louis
Napoleon is the one recently published by Mr.
M`Lean, of the Haymarket. Painted by Sir William
Charles Ross, R.A., it has been engraved in one of
the highest styles of art by M. F. Juubert. Last
season the original miniature was exhibited in the
Royal Academy. During the time of its production
the artist had the honour of obtaining several sittings
in the Palace of the Elysee, and admirably has he
availed himself of the opportunity, in giving to the
world the most correct likeness yet painted of the
illustrious personage represented. The portrait is at
full length. The Prince is standing. His costume is the
uniform of a general in the French army ; and the va-
rious accessories introduced in the pie, use are cleverly
arranged and ingeniously pourtrayed. Under any cir-
cumstances a life-iike representation of Louis Napoleon
—.or, as heis now officially designated, Son Altesee
Imperiale Monseigneur le Prince President de la
Republique Franca-Ise—could not fail to be interest-
ing. As the representative of the house of Bona-
parte, as the heir to the glory of Napoleon, as the sou
of King Louis by Queen Hortense, and as the
grandson of the Empress Josephine—he must have
commanded some degree of attention had he still re-
mained in the privacy of his long exile from his
fatherland. Besides these adventitious claims upon
public notice, however, the Prince Louis Napoleon
possesses others of a personal and honourable charac-
ter. His romantic adventures, his extraordinary
vicissitudes, and, above all, his surprising elevation to
supreme power in the very land where he had con-

. .
tinned for six years a state prisoner in the fortress of
Ham—secure to him a place in history, while they
extort, in some manner at least, the sympathies of his
contemporaries. Thrice elected by his
which hasell
fellow-coun-
e
trymen—firs ly, when called from banibbment
to the National Assembly by six different consti-
tuencies, secondly, when nominated President for four
years by six millions of free citizens, and thirdly,
when chosen for the same office for ten years addi-
tional by nearly eight millions -or votes (votes ren-
dered doubly important by being the fruits of the
ballot and of universal suffrage)—his authority has
been legitimately derived from the population. The
responsibility of his august position be appears, more-
over, to have in a great measure recognised and ap-
preciated—accepting as the foimdations of his Go-
vernment (as he himself has recently intimated)—
`° the people the source of all power, the army the
source of all force, and religion the source of all
justice." Whatever may be the opinion entertained
in reference to some of his past acts—it must be ad-

as in the French military colleges, the
Artillery," a subject peculiarly to have
been selected by a Bonaparte. As a statesman and
an administrator he has now an opportunity of com-
manding the admiration by securing the gratitude of
posterity. Future events will more clearly demonstrate
whether his capacities are fully equal to the occasion
now afforded for their development. Under every
consideration, however, the splendid engraving here
issued from the establishment of Mr. M`Lean, of the
Haymarket, will be regarded with curiosity by all
parties alike, as that, of one of the most powerful and
remarkable among
the European potentates.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD
REFORM ASSOCIATION.
(CONTINUED ON 3IONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS.)

Sir,—On Wednesday the 30 h of June, the most
interesting; occurrence in the House was a motio❑
of Lord Dudley Stuart on the subject of a Polish
refugee, an officer of Horse artillery, who had been
treated to a specimen of British hospitality at Ports-
mouth, in the shape of imprisonment with hard labour
for fourteen days, on the plea, which after all appears
to be contested, that he had asked relief. It would
be curious to know what a British officer of Horse
Artillery would do, if he found himself a political
refugee at Cronstadt or some other Russian naval
deE'ot. The outpouring of personal violence in the
possessors of power, is the leading evil of the day, and
one that calls must loudly for the attention of the
public.

On Thursday the House was prorogued with the
u'ual forms. The Speech therefore is the lust act of
Ministers, connected with the expiring Parliament.
There is something dishonouring to the Crown,
in the mention made of 114naoon ; an aff,,ir, by
the accounts which the concerned give of their
own objects and proceedings, conceived with a view to
the pluuder of provinces, end conducted in a nr,nner
revolting to honourable men. The probability is,
that it was introduced into the Speech with a view
to charging us " teeth-money" at some coming tim-.
As to the piLa of insults and injuries to British sub-
jects, 'he public bus no more confidence in the fact,
than if en old gentleman with his divide nds in his
pocket, was found accused by the swell mob of having
busied them.
The Speech is further made to contain a thinly dis-
guised admission, of the point much stood upon bath
at home and abroad on the subject M the Militia
Bill ; namely, that the Militia is prepared in aid of
operations by the regular army. In proof of not being
solitary in this opinion, I refer to the Times. If such
preparation was necessary, the preparation was right ;
and if it was necessary to parade it in the Queen's
Speech, the parade was right. But to those wbo
think the preparation was unnecessary and still more
the parade, the fact will appear in the light of an
error either in judgment or in design. It
will not fail to play into the hands of the French
journalists (if journalists may be said to exist
in France) who held out the arraying of the
Militia in England as a reason for increased military
establishments on the continent. It is part of the
general trade of war, to be carried on by mutual
consent.

In what was said in my last on the subject of the
income-tax,' fear it was not made sufficiently clear,
that the assumption throughout was that the Income-
=isto be perpetual. The very promo•ers of what
was put before the working classes as injustice, pro
fess their desire and intention to be, ,that the Income-
tax shall be perpetual. Nobody but a few
avowed sticklers for avoiding their own share
of taxation, dreams of anything but the
Income-tax in one way or other being perpetual ;
the working classes may be congratulated on their
cause having got so far. It is virtually admitted, by
all but the remnant alluded to, that the taxation can-
not continue to be accumulated upon the poor and the
men of lower incomes, but that the rich must submit
to come forward, and out of their riches help to pay.
To bear this in mind, will possibly assist in avoiding
misapprehensions of the foregone.
At this time when the people have a sort of holi-
day of power, there may be use in noting a fallacy
considerably below par in the scale of intellectual
strength, which has been thrown out from influential
sources on the subject of the Duration of Parlia-
ments. The Parliaments since the Reform Bill have
bt•en demonstrably shorter than before, and even the
last, though longer than its predecessors, has been
little more than two-thirds of the extreme
i term as-
Signed. 2herefore what use can there be n asking
to shorten the Duration of Parliaments? This is the
wisdom of the wise ; and I ask the electors all over
the country to sift it.

Suppose a whist-party to have played for money,
and that for several games in succession the honours
had all been found dealt to one side. Would it have
made no difference in all that is connected with the
subject, whether this had happened as it did, or whe-
ther the play had taken place under a provision that
one side was to have all the honours? It seems to
me that there is the same difference between Parlia-
ments being limited by law to a short term, and Par-
liaments being for a short term by chance.
On the same evening the Dissolution of Parlia-
ment was announced ; so the balloon is launched, to
&ink or swim, as the concerned may conduct the
business.

I am, Sir, yours very sincerely,
AN OLD REFORMER.

MARYLEBONE THEATRE.—MR. CORMACR'S BENE-
rrr.—Mr. Cormack, the celebrated Harlequin of the Prin-
cess's, and the best Harlequin since Ellar on the boards, has
announced his benefit at this house for Thursday evening
next, the Bth inst. The admirable manner in which he has
conducted the ballet department there during the present
season, as well as his peculiar merits as a dancer, cannot fail
to be properly appreciated by those who have derived so
much entertainment from bis exertions, and we consequently
trust there will be an overflow on the occasion. The bill of
fare is of a most attractive character. Tom Matthews, the
Grimaldi of the day; Madlle. Palser, the Taglioni of Drury-
lane ; Miss E. Terrey, and several artists of celebrity, con-
tribute their valuable aid. The entertainments are to con-
sist of the grand spectacle of Cherry and l Fair Star, a farce, a
powerful melodrama. a sketch from the renowned panto-
mimes of Jack. the Giant Killer and Mother Goose, end.va-
rious dances by a most efficient troupe. The theatre will be
right well worth visiting on Thursday evening.
SIR-WILLIAM MOLESWORTII.--Sir William Moles-
worth supports the same poll ical opinions which find favour
in all the electoral divisions of the capital; but, with the
single excep, ion of Lord John Russell, he alone of all the
Metropolitan .Members can make any pretension to the cha-
racter of a statesman. His earnest and efficient advocacy of
the rights and interests of the c,,lonies, and of the true prin-
ciples of colonial policy, has given the electors of Southwark.
reason to be proud of their choice; and the most intelligent
of their number will certainly not respect a candidate the
less for his bold and distinct refusal to secure his election by
any compliance with vulgar prejudices. Local knowledge
alio personal preference may fairly influence the decision of
the constituency in selecting a colleague for their former
representative; but Parliament would be deprived of a valu-
able Member, and the borough of an honourable distinction,
if Sir William Molesworth were supplanted by any untried
inquiry candidate, however popular and respectable,....Az •
