LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING,

FRANCE.

A decree in the Moniteur announces several judi-
ciary appointments in the departments.
The Moniteur announces in a communicated note
that the President, having been informed of the in•
tention to give banquets in his honour during his ap-
proaching tour in tne departments, has resolved not
to accept any, however touched he is by these kind
attentions.

The Presge bas commenced publishing a series of
letters on the state of England. Three have already
been given ; and the following extracts are not a bad
specimen of the sort of information communicated,
and of the writer's knowledge of the country, whose
habits and manners, as well as institutions, he assumes
to describe :

" In England," he begins, " every one knows
that the whole of the land belongs to the nobility, and
that it is inalienable. Thus, in the immense augmen-
tation each day of the city of London, you must not
believe that the builders of houses purchase the soil as
complete property—they pay a rent to the lord pro-
prietor, and the concession of the ground is only for
99 yeam Thus the nation is the guest of the nobility
—it lodges with ir.

" These ' guests of the nobility ' are, it seems,
divided into three clasaesthe agricultural popu-
lation, who are farmers of lords; the middle
class, which devotes itself to trade, and forms what
is called the gentry; and, lastly, at the lowest
step of the ladder, the salaried and poor work-
men—the mobility. Of these three classes of guests
the dearest to the nobility is the agricultural popula-
tion. This is easily understood; if the farmers do
good business more money must enter into the cash-
box of the lords. If commerce is restrained by the
laws, if, for instance, the importation of corn is bur-
dened with a high duty, the English farmers sell
their produce with more advantge, and all goes on
for the best in the eyes of the aristocracy.

The only conclusion which a contemporary think.
it necessary to draw from this atrocious outrage is,
that the Irish are very bad mob fighters, and that they
had better keep quiet, because they are sure to b.
" thrashed." If this is to be the Ili* h- minded tone
adopted by English journal., every man who bas the
misfortune to think with the MinuritYprov
on any parti-
cular question ought to lose no time in providing him-
self with a brace of Colt's revolvers. If fourteen thou-
sand Roman Catholics are to have their houses gutted,
and their altars profaned, simply
because they happen,
under the pressure of famine and distress, to have
sought work and wages among their Protestant fello w •
see
subjects,
-- had better at once exchange the Statute,
of the Realm for the Institutes
of Lynch, and ask
Lord Campbell to undertake the execution of the
summary jurisdiction. In Ital or in Spain, such a
y
justification of the violence of the, maj
ority may be safe
enough, because the majority for the time being i,
secure from retaliation. But in an empire like that
of Great Britain, wbere the population is composed of
different races and religious communities, and where
parties are more equally matched, it is by no mean,
certain that the game will Ise altogether one-sided.
The English Protestants may have it all their own way
ie Lancashire, but if Roman' Catholics are to be chal-
lenged to a war,_ literally pro aris et focis, what is to
become of the Protestants in Tipperary ? Are the in-
signia of an " alien" Church less obnoxious to the
Irish Roman Catholic than doves and crosses to the
S. ockport Protestants? Our contemporary may think i
cowardly, but we are stongly of opinion that it won!•
be most un wise for a statesman to act upon the as-
sumption that Irish " Papists" are always easilj
to b-' thrashed. Surely Lord Derby might have
pick- d some little sect or two out of the " Protes.
tent Association," on which he might have exer-
cist d his taste for persecu,ion with far less
danger to life, property, and the public peace.
It has been ingeniously suggested that the riot a'
Stockport was a drama enacted entirely by Irish
men for their own amusement—that, for some un
explained reason, they sacked their own houses,
and burnt their own chapels. But the evidence
given at the coroner's inquest seems hardly to bee,
out this extraordinary hypothesis. The chief wit-
ness found the deceased lying half dead upon th.
ground, and went out to fetch a doctor. ~ When,"
be adds, "we got outside, another man came
up
with a piece of wood, and, saying 'Come, let u.
look at his head, to see it he is an Irishman,' lit
struck him with his weapon on the left side of th.
head, on which the deceased cried out 4 Oh dear, I'm
done,' and never spoke again." We Protestan
Englishmen have certainly good right to congratu-
late ourselves that we are " not as other men are"—
not even as this poar Roman Catholic Irishman.

A COMMERCIAL CREDIT MUTUAL ASSURANCE
SociETr."—A society for mutual assurance against had debt
is now in opera ion in the City. It is said to be based on
principles similar to those which have already been in ope •
ration for some years in Paris. The society gives to the
assured the full benefit of all the premiums; thus differing
from a proprietary society raising a capital, and giving to
rep

shareholders, in,tead of the assured, all the profit arising
therefrom. A reserved furd, however, is to be accumulated
to a certain amount wherewith to aid assured in times of
commercial pressure, and a oremium fund for the reduction
