have the questions solemnly argued before the Su-
preme Court. We cannot entertain much doubt as to
the result. It would, however, be desirable that
such arrangements should be made as would prevent
any possible difficulty. Nothing could be easier than
to provide that copies of the depositions taken More
the magistrates, duly authenticated, should be trans-
mitted with the warren', so that the nature of the
offence and of the testimony by which a prima facie
case was established against the person, whose extra-
dition was demanded, might be clearly shown. All
that then could be required would be the identifica-
tion of the prisoner, and when that was given the
surrender of his person should be a matter of course.
This, as we have stated, is a matter in which all
nations are equally interested in having placed on a
and it is one
satisfactory footing ; worthy of imme-
diate notice.

In Middlesex, for example, not an opportunity
should be lost to forward the interests of the two
distinguished Liberals who are the candidates for
its representation. If anything bad been re-
quired to remind the electors of Middlesex
of the duty devolving upon them at this
moment and in this regard, that reminder would be
discoverable in the circumstance of such a man as
the Marquis of BLANDFORD being hurried at the last
hour, as it were, upon their notice by the advocates
of the Derby Government. Happily, however, for
Lord ROI3ERT GROSVENOR and his gallant colleague,
Mr. RALPH BERNAL OSBORNE, there existed no
necessity whatever for any incentive to activity on
the part of their numerous constituents. Their ser-
vices are too well known and too generally appre-
ciated to need any enforcement upon the knowledge
of the men of Middlesex. The only effect, there-
fore, of the appearance of Lord BLANDFORD upon
the hustings tomorrow will be the revival of the
ardour long dormant in the county in consequence
of the indolence of the Tory electors of Middlesex.
It was rather bitterly remarked yesterday by Mr.
BERNAL OSBORNE that, supposing the men of the
metropolitan county were seriously looking about
them for a new representative, they would surely be
prepared to select any one rather than the scion of a house
which had cost the country—for Blenheim '250,0001.,
for tho
great Duke of Maumsonouoia 500,0001.,
and for his Grace's descendants no less than
the enormous aggregate of 12,000,0001. Thereupon
the gallant candidate tersely and facetiously added,in
reference to the electors, "let them bring in some
man with a cleaner mill of ot
ift health,eney
and a better title to
. "
represent a Liberal bconl
u Upon the same
subject, namely, upon the question of sani-
tary reform it was observed yesterday from
the hustings at Hertford by Sir EDWARD BULWER
LYTTON, that there were evidences of the apathy in
this matter of our legislators generally in every
alley of the metropolis, where you might count the
number of squalid human beings passing away by the
side of filthy pools and noxious sewers. In this par-
ticular, as in many others, the culpability of the
late Government must be allowed to be very enor-
mous, and if any authentic token
could be adduced
that their successors are prepared to act differently
in
regard to sanitary improvements, it would be almost
sufficient—such is our appreciation of unporance !
—to induce even the most Radical
electors to look
with some degree of complacency upon the continued
existence of the DERBY Government. There was
much agreeable pleasantry in the
speech addressed
yesterday to the men of
BULWER LYTTOY,
whose support of the Go-
vernment resolved itself into a humorous on-
slaught upon the past Administration. The
Whig Cabinet he spoke of as having received a stroke
of paralysis in 1851, and died of exhaustion in 1852 !
He described it as a Government as much resembling
an oligarchy as any that had ever ruled
the destinies of Great Britain. "It was a
Government," he said, " of a couple of families, with
one or two illustrious exceptions," insomuch that
" wherever you locked," continued Sir EDWARD,
,s you saw a RUSSELL, or a connexicn of a Itussisaa
and a GB,EY, SO that the last Government put one in
mind of the Chinese map of the world, which was a
large circle in the middle of a square, leaving out
four little corners, which they consider the regions
of perpetual darkness and sin, and they consider the
circle the Celestial Empire, the miserable remnant
of mankind beyond being banished to those four
little corners.—(Cheers and laughter.) Just so,
the last Government, described as a Liberal Ad-
ministration, was the great circle where all the
good things were concentrated." Should the Hon.
Baronet be elected by the men of Hertfordshire, his
return among the number of the Derbyites would
be as important an accession to the Government as
the recent return of another illustrious man of letters,
Mr. MACAULAY, by the constituents of Edinburgh,
constitutes a noble accession to the ranks of the
Liberal Opposition.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday
The illoniteur promulgates the Secatus Consultum
constituting the High Court of Justice.
The Mayor of Fougerolles, Indre, has been sus-
pended, and the Municipal Council oi9solved by the
Prefect.

Yesterday's Moniteur publishes a return of the
revenue for the first six months of the present year,
which amounts to 389,497,000 f. As compared with
the same period of 1851, there is an increase of
25,837,0001., and of 39,030,000 f. over that of 1850.
The State has taken possession of the domain of
Dreux, with the exception of the mausoleum, and the
agents, after executing the orders of the Government,
Isroceeded to La Ferteidame to complete their mission
by taking possession of that domain.
Oa Tuesday last, being the tenth anniversary of
the death of the Duke of ORLEANS, a funeral service
WWI performed in
the Chapelle de Tocabeaux, at
Dreux, in presence of some friends and faithful ser-
vants of the ex.Royel Family.
There is an article in the Pays on the elections in
England, which, considering that the Pays is a Mi-
nisterial organ, has much interest. This journal re-
gards it as quite impossible that the Derby Ministry
can remain in power, and considers that the only man
in England capable of forming a Cabinet which shall
have a chance of duration is Lord PALMERSTON. It is
evident from its language that the Pays fears nothing
for the allience with England from the return of
Lord PALMERSTON to office with the supreme direc-
tion of affairs.
The Debats devotes considerable space to a notice
of the intention of the Discount Bank to open ac
counts-current with depositors, and paying upon
cheques, according to the English
system. The
Debats estimates that the present system, by
which persons in trade psy in specie at their own re-
sidence, causes not less than 200 millions of capital
to be kept constantly unproductive, whereas by the
system of accounts-current it would be employed by
the bankers, and at the same time the depositors
would be relieved of considerable trouble. Some op-
position, it appears, is expected from the Bank of
France, but the
.13gbats contends that the Discout
Bank can legally do what is now Pr°l3"ed.

The thermometer was a little lower in Paris on
Wednesday than on Tuesday,
but from the state of
the atmosphere the heat was more sensibly felt. At
two o'clock in the afternoon the thermometer of M.
CHEVALIER stood at 33 deg. nine-tenths of centigrade
(93 of Fahrenheit). At the same hour, on Tuesday,
it marked 34 deg. six-tenths centigrade (94 deg. one •
third Fahrenheit).
The elevation of the temperature has produced so
important a change in the crops, that in some of the
departments the rye harvest is already completed.
The quantity is large, and the grain is in excellent
I condition. In the Valley of Montmorency, and as
far as Pontoise, all the crops have a fine appearance,
and in many parts the yield of oats is greater than
it has been for some years. The accounts from the
wine districts are much more favourable than could
have been expected from the bad weather in June.
The grapes have advanced considerably, and if there
should be no unfavourable weather for a long dura-
tion, the vintage will take place at the usual time.

We cannot conceive why any civilized nation
should fling the mantle of its protection over ordinary
criminals—murderers or robbers, forgers or swind-
lers; those who have compromised themselves by acts
of violence or fraud cannot be very desirable additions
to the population of any country, however thinly in -
habited, or anxious to encourage immigration. Of
course we do not include persons charged with poli-
tical offences, or acts not opposed to natural law, and
only rendered punishable by special local enact-
ments. Such persons may be cordially and
kindly received, notwithstanding that they may
be fugitives from other lands, and that
large rewards have been offered for their apprehension.
Their very misfortunes, the sufferings they had pre-
viously endured, would constitute the strongest claim
to shelter and hospitality- But, with these exceptions,
all persons against whom a prima facie case, or
reasonable presureptica of guilt could be established,
should be promptly surrendered to the officers of the
netion from which they had absconded. The re-
pression of crime is a matter of general concern, in
which all constituted authorities are equally
interested, and no efforts should be spared
to attain that great desideratum. Now
it is well known
that the certainty of even a light
punishment is far more efficacious than the proba-
bility of the most severe, so long as there is a chance
of impunity. men have been known to make every
arrangement for
flight even before committing an
offence then contemplated, believing that they would
be perfectly safe the moment they arrived in mother
country. The knowledge that they would be closely
01' the country, would do more

to serious offences than any other

regulation that could be framed, and a mutual
surrender of criminals, due care being taken to pre-
vent the abuse of the principle by
its application to
political fugitives, should be made one of the funda-
mental laws of nations, to which every Government
should be obliged to conform.
