reigning houses of Europe. Such an
with several of the
alliance would seem, therefore, to be both politic and
suitable to the present position and the future views of
the Prince President, and we understand that the inter-
view which recently took place at Baden between the
high contracting parties was so encouraging that the
Princess immediately applied herself to master the tenets
of the Roman Catholic faith, having hitherto professed
the Lutheran creed, in order that she may be received
into the bosom of that church of which Louis Napoleon
is so exemplary a member. It is, therefore, not im-
probable that among the ceremonies which will contri-
bute during this present summer to the diversion of the
French people, a wedding will take place; and the world
may speculate on the effect of such a marriage upon
the proclamation of the Empire, and the revival of all
the pretensions of the Bonapartist dynasty. Certain it
is that no internal obstacle or impediment will interfere
with the assumption of any title or rank-Louis Napoleon
may think fit to adopt, and, as to his power, that is
'Arcady entire and absolute. For ourselves, speaking
with a view to the general interests of this country and
of Europe, such a change would appear to be a matter
of indifference; for what signifies a new fashion in the
trappings of a Court after the dismal change from free-
dom to servitude has been accomplished and endured by
the nation? Neither is it material whether the mar-
riage precedes the Empire, or the Empire the marriage,
or by what road Louis Napoleon and his adherents
attain the transcendent honours of a Papal coronation.
But it is by no means equally clear that this eerier of
events will bo looked upon with indifference by the cot-
tinental Powers. The marriage of Leiria Napoleon
would obviously be the most important step to the este- 1
blishment of an hereditary Power in France, and such
a Power would ere long, and perhaps immediately,
place itself on an Imperial throne. To recognise such
a Power, with all its hereditary claims, is to sur-
render the principles of legitimate monarchy still
professed by the northern. Courts of Europe; to re-
fuse to recognise it is at once to afford to that Power
a pretext for any undertaking it may meditate
against the security of the continent. We place bat
little reliance upon a document published by ono of our
contemporaries, and purporting to, be an abstract of a
treaty, concluded on the 20th of May last, between
Russia, Austria, and Prussia, for the purpose of deter-
mining the line of conduct they are resolved to pursue
in presence of these doubtful and delicate contingencies.
Until the existence of such a treaty, in the terms hero
employed, be more positively couarmed, we must enter-
tain strong doubts of the existence of such a compact; for
it would be an act of rashness and extravagant inapolicy
inconsistent with the course heretofore pursued by Eu-
rope towards Louis Napoleon. We know of no suffi-
cient grounds for the premature and exclusive recogni-
tion of the rights of the Count de Chambord to the
Crown of France, by foreign Powers, before a single
effort has been made by any party among the French
themselves to recal him. We can conceive nothing so
likely to accelerate the assumption of absolute and
hereditary Imperial power by the heir of Bonaparte as
the attempt of foreign States to define and limit
rights which he affects to hold by the will of the
people. And lastly, if the Empire be proclaimed, as it
probably will be, this officious stroke of policy would at
once serve as a pretence for the interruption of the pa-
cific relations of Europe, and might land to the most
serious consequences. On these grounds we are led to
distrust the accuracy of our Contemporary's in-
formation; for although the correspondence be-
tween Russia and Austria which we ourselves
published in the spring undoubtedly led to
the same conclusion, and might produce the same effects,
yet we can hardly imagine that the Sovereigns and
statesmen of the Northern Courts are deliberately pre-
pared to renew by a solemn treaty not only the terms of
the Holy Alliance but the coalition of Pillnitz. We do
not doubt that explanations have been exchanged be-
tween the three Northern Courts on the subject of the fu-
ture policy of France, and that they are perfectly united
and agreed upon the course to be adopted by them in
the event of any aggressive movement on the part of
Louis Napoleon; but we have strong reason to doubt
that any positive terms have been adopted beforehand
to regulate and confine their future conduct, and still
more do we question the existence of a convention
which might provoke the very dangers it is designed to

GOODWOOD RACES.—TEuRSDAY.
The "glories" of the Cup Day at Goodwood never
passed more brilliantly than yesterday; the extreme
fineness of the weather; the number • and rank of the

witnessed. The •eeely special trains from London,
Brighton, Portsmouth, &c., brought an immense con-
course of spectators, many iuedreds of whom, unable to
obtaia conveyances from the statioo, did not reach the
course until after tho two were decided.

Mr. ANDERTON Presented ct memorial on the mode of
electing Sheriffs, from Mr. Hartley, who was elected in
June, 1851, ter the Office. • ". •
The joint petition of Mr. Grissell and Mr. Moore,
who were nominated by. the Lord Mayor last June, as
Parties to be publicly put in nomination to the Livery
for theafimpf sheriff, and who paid tke fine of Ca
each, inflicted in consequence of their refusal to serve,
Was also read. It stated the inconvenience to which
they would hove been subjected.if they had served, and
that feeling that the fine was unreasonable, arbitrary.
and exaaealreethey;prayed that
to them. the settle might be repaid
Mr. Hneatx BLARE rose to move that it be referred
to the Freedom Committee to inquire ilatO the duties,
expenses, and emoluments of the office of sheriff, and to
consider the expediency of preparing a Bill to amend the
Act of Common Council of April, 1748, touching the
said efface, by reducing the fines imposed by
such Act
from the several sums of 4001. and 6001. to 100/.; and
further, to consider the expediency of providing a fund
for maintaining the dignity of the office; and to report
forthwith to the Court.
Mr. BENNOCH seconded the motion.
lelr. H. L. TAYLOR could not for a moment think of
taxing his fellow-citizens to defray the expenses of the
sheriffs, and he accordingly moved the exclusion of the
part of Mr. Blake's motion which he considered to be
calculated to have that effect.
Mr. Deputy LOTT edvoceted the original motion.
After considerable discussion, in which several other
members joined, the proposition for inquiry, with the
omission of the words signifying the plan for relieving
the sheriffs from the expenses attending the office, was
agreed to by a large majority.
Mr. Hartley's petition was then ordered to lie on the
"able.

of property in the neighbourhood of Copenhagen-fields,
complaining of the selection of that locality as the site of
the new cattle market, and alleging various evils to
which they would be subjected thereby. The petitioners
Concluded by saying that the arrangement was not
even likely to be permanent, inasmuch as the dissatis-
faction which would be created would lead to further
le''islation.
The petition was read at length from the table.
The petitioners, who were in attendance, were called
to the bar.

Mr. DE JERSEY asked Mr. Streeten, by
whom the de-
putation was headed, whether he sees
out any better site than Copenhagen-fi!irdet,peareci to point
Mr. Streeten said that, when before the Home Se-
cretary, he had mentioned Bow-common.
Another member of the deputation, said Wanstead-flats
had also been suggested.
Mr. DE JERSEY wished to know whether in their in-
terview with the Home Secretary the deputation said
anything on the subject of compensation?
Mr. Streeten replied that, being spokesman at the
Home-office, he represented to Mr. Walpole the hard..
ship to the parties of their being no meats of obtaining
compensation. After some conversation the Right Hon.
Gentleman said the Act was a very arbitrary one indeed,
and expressed his regret that the petitioners had not an
opportunity of being heard before the matter was de-
cided. What he said amounted to the expression of a
wish that the corporation of London would yet give
them an opportunity to be heard; and he added that,
though ho considered him morally bound, he was quite
ready to go into the question again. He (Mr. Streeten)
felt certain that the Right Hon. Gentleman wished the
question to be re-opened.
Mr. DE JERSEY asked Mr. Streeten whether, in
speaking of compensation before the Home Secretary,
he referred to the case of lands, of houses, or of shops.
Mr. Streeten said he pointed out that a portion of
the property iu the neighbourhood of the intended
market was let upon long leases, and he observed that
that case was altogether one of great hardship; especi-
ally as the buildings could only be occupied as residences.
Mr. BEYNOCEE asked whether, before the decision of
the Secretary of State was given, the petitioners had
any opportunity of learning teat the market was likely
to come into their neighbourhood.
Mr. Streeten replied that they had no means of
knowing; the Act of Parliament did not provide for any
notice. It was true that they saw in the newspapers a
rumour on the subject; but they did not know *bather
or not there was any truth in it. The Home Secretary
said he considered himself morally bound—the Right
lion. Gentleman used the word " morally" emphatically
I—to approve the site which ,had been eelected if he
should be called upon to do so: that was all he said on
the subject.
Mr. C. YOUNG asked Mr. Streeten if he was not aware
that the Smithfield Market Bill was brought in by her
Majesty's late Gcverninent.
Mr. Streeten—The Bill itself shows that it was.
Mr. C. YOUNG reminded Mr. Streeten that the corpo-
ration opposed the Bill to the utmost of their power.
The petitioners then withdrew.
Mr. Deputy LOTT said ho regretted that a question of
such great importance should have been brought on at so
late an hour, when the court was nearly exhausted by
previous discussions.—(Hear.) Now, how stood this ques-
tion? 'The petitioners, who were most respectable indivi-
duals,. would be cruelly damnified by the confirmation of
the selection of Copenhagen-
fields as the site of the new
market. It appeared that negotiations were going forward
when the late Government retired from office; and the pre-
sent Government having acceded to office, Mr. Walpole,
never having been in his life in Copenhagen-fields, and
scarcely knowing where they were—(A voice —" That is a,
very strong asseetion")—gave his assent to the site se-
lected by the corporation. Mr. Walpole said he had
e're:4y given his consent,
in consequence of the repre-
sentations made to him by the corporation, and in the
belief that nothing more than his nominal consent was
required. Was it not fearful to think that a mere no-
minal consent should have the effect of ruining num-
bers of individuals? A great deal was said about the
difficulty of obtaining
sites. Why there were a dozen
