in thirty-six months. This is not so bad. The in-
come from the Post-office in the budget for next year
is calculated at only 23,000rbd., " it being our wish,"
to use thf words of the ministerial budget, "more
and more to reach that point when Post-office income
shall no longer be looked for, but the whole be re-
garded as a means for communication and civilization."
The University celebrated the King's birthday in
the usual mnnner. But this time a magnificent lec-
ture was given by the Rector Magnificus, Professor
Claussen, on " The Essence and Signification of Na-
tionality." Of course the circumstances of the times
invested this eloquent harangue with additional in-
terest, and it was listened to by a crowded audience
with attention and admiration. The peroration of
the speech was a prayer for Denmark.

Saluons, saloons, la fke universelle
Que promet le travail et que benira Dieu:
La vapeur entr'ouvrant ses cent ailes de feu,
Et les sillons oii l'or do nos gerbes ruiselle !

L'aigle a repris son vol et plane sur nos champs;
Sous un ceil radieux la France enfin respire,
Et rove en souriant un immortel Empire
Qu'un peuple enthousiaste acclame de ses chants.

Refaisons des tableaux dignes de la Geni,se;
Que tout renaisse et viva, et que de touter parts
Les plus desberit6s puissent prendre lours parts
A 'lun de ces banquets que peignait Y6roni!se.

Les Muses, qu'effrayaient tant de cris inhumains,
Vers les cieux en pleurant remontaient d6solees
Muses, revenez-vous, calmer at consol6es,
Sous lee arcs de triomphe elevos pas nos mains. t
Que Part, lea monumans, les tableaux, les statues,

Et comment sous l'Llat de tes hardis bienfaits
Les sourdes passions devant toi se sont tues.

0 Prince, l'avenir qu'hier tu lecondas
Nous rarnene aux splendours des ages magnifiques,
Et pour suivre avec toi tee aigles pacifiques,
Les Frantfis, tu l'as dit, seront tons tee soldats I

After the recital of the ode, which was much ap-
plauded, the name of the author was called for, and
M. Arsene Houssaye, the director of the theatre,
was declared to be the man. The President soon
after withdrew.
Politics and poetry appear to combine very ami-
cably together; and the rural communes show a de-
cided preference for metre as the channel of their
wishes and their prayers. The members of the
Municipal Council of the classic district of Chazay-
d'Azergues (Rhone) seem to have made the same
discovery as M. Pourceaugnac, who had spoken
prose all his life without knowing it. They now dis-
dain their ordinary mode of communicating their
ideas, and their demand for the establishmeut of the
Empire is drawn up thus :
A SON ALTESSE IMPERIAL&
Louis Napol6on soyez notre Empereur;
Depuis longtemps ce vcou germe dans notre ccaur.
Nous desirous aussi, sauveur de la patrie,
Quo l'Empereur Frangais soit Roi de l'Algerie.
Sire, r‘gnez sour nous! Prot4g4B par vois lois,
Nous benirons le nom de Napoleon Trois.
Vous ties notre appui, notre unique esp‘rance,
Yive notre Empereur! Dieu protege la France!
Les habitants de Chazy d'Azergues.

THE CONTINENT.

SPAIN.

Accounts have been received from Madrid to the

19th instant.
It is thought that the Cortes will probably be called
together towards the end of November, and a general
bill of indemnity, or something of the kind, will be
proposed, so as to legalize all the measures which the
Government have enacted by decrees during the long
period in which the legislative sittings have been sus-
pended. There will no doubt be a violent, if not a
very numerous, opposition, which will refuse such a
vote; and it is believed that the first opportunity af-
forded by violence of debate, ending, as it is likely,
in a scene, will be taken advantage of for again clos-
ing the Chambers, and making the desired modifica-
tions in the present system. Some think that the
Ministers will content themselves with a dissolution
and new elections, but the more general idea is, that
a curb will be put upon the Cortes, assimilating their
powers to those at present existing in France.
The Government have, it is understood, contracted
a loan for the SUM of two millions sterling with the
the house of Messrs. O'Shea and Co., for the purpose
of carrying into effect the Aranjuez and Valencia
Rail way.
The Council of Ministers had come to the resolu-
tion of recognizing the Empire the moment it should
be proclaimed in France.

GERMANY.

The King and Queen of Hanover arrived on the
20th inst., at Stuttgardt, on a visit to the Royal
family of Wurtemburg.
The Cologne Gazette, of the 23d, says that Baron
Prokeach d'Osten will not retire from his post this
year, and that it is not known whether he will be
succeeded by Baron Keller or Count Rechberg.
Count Arnim is dispatched on a special mission to
Florence, to interpose on behalf of the Prussian Go-
vernment in the affair of the Madiais.
The betrothal of her Royal Highness Princess
Anna (Charles) with Prince Frederick of Hesse did
not take place, as was expected, on the King's birth-
day, but the ceremony will be solemnized in the course
of a few days, and will be confined to the royal family,
Court, and Ministers.
One of the most prominent and not least respect-
able members of the Frankfort National Assembly,
commonly known as " Old Jahn," died at Freiburg
on the 15th inst., at the age of 74. He was the son
of a pastor of Lanz, in the Priegnits district.
The political trial at Cologne advances with all
due dispatch. The proceedings of the 18th presented
more than ordinary interest, from their being de-
voted to the examination of M. Steiber, Police Coun-
cillor, who attended in England on the part of the
Prussian Government during the Exhibition, and in
the course of that period was accidentally enabled to
make important discoveries of papers and documents
relative to the secret societies which had their head-
quarters in London. M. Steiber entered with much
lucidity into details of great interest, corroborated
fully by documentary evidence and admissions on the
part of individuals arrested at Paris and elsewhere.
Among these individuals was a man named Cherval,
described as one of the chiefs of the French Commu-
nists. A letter from this personage to an emissary
at Valenciennes, dated February,
1851, is charac-
teristic of the Communist doctrines. The following
is an extract, laid before the Court :
" What you propose is very good; bat I hold it advis-
able not to speak of murder in our letters. That is the
medium for carrying our principles into effect, bat it
would be hurtful tospeak openly of this medium. Excite
hatred against all reactionaries, but do not preach this
hatred openly. I laughed heartily when I read your
article—" Murder all the clergy without mercy." Only
think of some fifty head of this black breed, bound hand
to hand, like so many sheep and calves, to be led to the
shambles, and there slaughtered!
In another letter addressed to the same emissary,
named Gieberich, arrested at Strasburg, the follow-
ing extracts were cited :—" Our principles are simply
these : all men (except the clergy and reactionaries),
it is to be supposed, are brothers. Property is rob-
bery. All men have equal rights. The oppressed
have a right to revenge themselves on their tyrants by
all possible means." The letters containing these and
sundry other passages of equal brutality were found
in the possession of individuals arrested, and acknow-
ledged by them and their authors, who, it appears,
were almost all arrested by a plan well concerted be-
mean the French and German police.

TURKEY.
According to correspondence from Constantinople
of the 9th, an end is put to all question about the
Turkish loan. The terms are rejected, and Prince
Callimaki will be withdrawn from his embasay at
Paris. A loan has been opened by four Armenian
bankers, to which Ministers themselves are subscrib-
ing.

WHO SHOULD REPRESENT ENGLAND
AT THE FRENCH EMPEROR'S
CORONATION?

A writer in the Liverpool Albion, canvassing the
claims of v ,riuus parties fur the honour of represent-
ing England at Louis Napoleon's imperial coronation,
proceeds as follows :
It is not to be supposed that the present Duke of
Northumberland will imitate the example of his relative
at the coronation of Charles X., whereat the equipage
and retinue of the Percy wholly eclipsed the attelage of
the descendants of Clovis, his Grace literally shovelling
out gold among the crowd, of whose language he could
neither speak nor uuderstaad a syllable, to the great de-
rision of those who contemptuously pocketed his pieces.
The present Duke of Devonshire was equally profuse,
but in a much more becoming style, at the coronation of
Nicholas at St Petersburg in 1826, when the princely
Cavendish shamed the orient pomp of all the Baskir
hordes of the Autocrat, despite their " barbaric pearl
and gold." But who is to do that sort of thing now!
and not to do it in this affair would hardly meet the ap-
probation of Hume himself, as, indeed. nothing does, for
Joe has become a veritable porcupine of late, and his
quill is ever ready to fly at any ono who says bo to
a goose. True, there is Norfolk, who has the means,
and is not at all deficient in the inclination to dis-
port the sumptuous liveries of the Hereditary Earl-
Marshal of England in any Field of Cloth of Gold
where there is ri►alry in magnificence. But, supposing
the Pope was there, how would Curry Powder, after
stirring up the Durham mustard blister of this time two
years, taco the Pontiff ; or how turn tail without con-
tumely to the head of the llowards ? Commoners of
the right stamp might bo had in abundance ; and in
these days of industrial progress, who so fitting to re-
present the "spirit of the age" ae the genii of successful
labour at the throne of one who boasts his eagerness to
exalt and ennoble toil ? For instance. the great indus-
trial triumph of our epoch, the Exhibition of '5l, owed
its introductory success, and consequent prosperity sub-
sequently, to the circumstance of Mr. Peto, M.P. for li
Norwich, guaranteeing 50,0001. towards the preliminary
expenses at a time when, but for such indemnity, all the
promoters of the undertaking, royal, patrician, and ple-
bian, would have shrunk aghast from costs which the
least hesitation would have rendered overwhelming.
The Prince and her Majesty have retained a lively sense
of that truly-magnanimous liberality since, enhanced as
it was by the modesty which kept secret the generosity.
Last week he was summoned by the Lord Chamberlain
to accompany, in his capacity of chairman of the Chester
and Holyhead Railway, the august party in the inspec-
tion of the engineering marvels of the tubular-bridge and
its accessories. But, with a nobility of mind which it is
impossible too highly to panegyrize, and which is altoge-
ther beyond the comprehension of the mere herd of
routine courtiers, he declined going—of course in the
most loyal and dutiful terms—the reason being
that he had that night undertaken to preside
at the London Tavern Anniversary Dinner of
the Benevolent Builders' Charity and would not
break that engagement, even on such a summons, lest
the institution would suffer by his absence, and those be
disappointed who took tickets on the faith of his being
present. His conduct in the chair was in exact keeping
with the unostentatious independence and unaffected
simplicity of demeanour that have ever characterised
him. Though one of the most sflaent of men of the age
—affluence acquired without the faintest imputation of
sordidness, much less of over-reaching—and though his
name is familiar in almost every part of the globe where
vast engineering operations happen to be in progress, he
thoroughly identified himself with the building business,
properly so called. As a builder, and a builder only—
in every part of whose calling he is a practical handi-
craftsman—be advocated the cause of the pensioners
on builders' bounty, contributing 200 guineas as chair-
man of the evening, and 25 guineas annual donation,
and 50 guineas from the firm of Peto and Betts.
Liberal as these gratuities are in appearance, they fall
far short of the reality in other shapes and forms,
which he takes oars not to hare made known lest they
should seem to savour of parade; but in cases where
no professional amour propre can bo supposed to bias the
purity of his motive, his gifts are on a scale commensu-
rate even with means so ample as his, as in the instance
of the Asylum for Idiots, to which he gave 1,0001. in one
sum, and large amounts repeatedly since, that class of
afflicted unfortunates seeming to command his special
sympathies, as shown by an institution he has established
in the neighbourhood of his noble estate at Lowestoft
for the novel treatment of peculiar phases of mental in-
firmity. It is men like this of whom England would
feel rightly proud—if English wealth won by English
virtues and administered by English self-respect is sup-
posed to be typified in the person of the representatives
of our nation at the coming gathering in Paris, as was
in the cases already cited; and if heraldic nobles cannot
be found fitly to discharge the duties expected from their
status, their antecedents, and the requirements of the
moment, lot us have some of Nature's nobles, like the
member for Norwich ; and, then, at all events, we may
be pretty sure that we shall have no need to blush for
the figure Old England will cut amidst the fungus finery
of the mushroom monarch of the 2d of December, 1851.

ITEALTa OF LIVERPOOL.—The deaths last week
were 187, being a decrease of eight as compared with
the previous week, and fewer than in any week of the
preceding six months. Deaths in the parish 142, in the
parochial wards 45. From zyrnotic diseases the deaths
were 52, being 10 less than in the week previous; of this
number 17 were from typhus, 10 from scarlatina, two
from rn moica, ono From end 16 from ho wel

complaints, against 26 n the preceding week. Diseases
of the lungs, with consumption, caused 56 deaths, a
larger proportion of the whole than in any- week of the
six' preceding months. A man, aged 31, died from
excessive drinking.
TESTIMONIAL.—Sir George Grey's Testimonial COM-
mittee bad, up to Monday week, received from Morpeth,
Bodlington, Alawick, Belford, Berwick, Wooler, and
R ithbury, the sum of 3131. towards purchasing a dinner
service. Several districts, too, had not sent in their re-
turns. It is expected that the total subscription will be
upwards of 4001.
ELOPEMENT.—Lust week, a young lady eloped
from Queenstown with a youthful limb of the law. The
young lady, it is stated, is the daughter of a retired
medical practitioner, and a lately made J.P.; and the
fortunate young gentleman, himself a member of the
legal profession, is connected with a firm in Cork, who
are likely to take a leading part in the prosecution of
the petition against Messrs. Murphy and Fagan—that is
should its promoters persevere in their intention.

THE RECORDER OF LIIILL.—OLIT new Recorder has
passed the ordeal of his first appearance as a judge at
Quarter Sessions with great credit to himself, and great
satisfaction to the bar and the public. Though the cases
to be tried were not unusually numerous, they were
more than usually important, and were well calculated
to test the discretion, the discernment, the legal acute-
ness, and the judicial ability of the presiding judge.
Owing to the general desire to catch a glimpse of the
author of " Ten Thousand a-Year" in wig and gown,
the Court, during the whole of the sessions, was densely
crowded. Among the learned Recorder's supporters on
the bench, the most diligent in their attendance were the
ladies, of whom the number present was unusually
great. For them the wizard weaver of Fiction's web
formed the chief attraction.—Hull Advertiser.
ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE A CLERGYMAN.—The
following letter has been received from a gentleman at
Galway:—" As Mr. Seymour was returning home on
Friday night last in his gig, on the road from Clonfert
to Lawrencetown, a gun or pistol was snapped at him.
He distinctly heard the cap exploding, and saw a man
in dark-coloured clothes immediately run off in the
fields; fortunately the fire-arms did not go off. Mr.
Seymour drove as fast as he could, and reported the out-
rage to the police at Lawrencetown. The caso was fully
investigated on Thursday, at Lawrencetown, before G.
Fitzgerald, Esq., R.M., and the local magistrates. I
understand that the magistrates have recommended that
a reward should be offered by the Government. The
Rev. Mr. Seymour was generally liked in the locality.
He had been obliged to order ono or two processes to bo
served for the coming quarter sessions."
BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD RAILWAY.—It is Stated
that the receipts upon this line are already between
1000/. and 11004 per week. The Great Western Cora
parry have not yet commenced the goods traffic. About
40001. per week will be required to pay a fair dividend
upon the outlay. The opening of this line has not had
any apparent effect upon the receipts of the London and
North-Western Railway, which last week were upwards
of 40001. in excess of those of 1850. The mileage re-
ceipt of the last week of the London and North-Western
shows an increase over that of 1850.
LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND GREAT WES-
TERN RAILWATEL—It I'S stated that the committee
appointed at the Liverpool meeting, which was held a
short time since for the purpose of promoting an
amicable settlement of the differences between the above
Companies,
have had an interview with the Euston-
square, and also with the Paddington authorities.
MANCHESTER AND MILFORD HAVEN.—The plan for
uniting Manchester and the North with Milford Haven
and the South by direct railway communication, is now
fully before the Welch people, and great interest has been
taken in the subject. The projects are—first, the Welsh
Union from Carmarthen, riA Llanidloes, Shrewsbury'

[ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Ointment and
Fills certain cures for Wounds in the Legs.—Mrs. Hood, re-
siding near Low Moor, Bradford, Yorkshire, was dreadfully
afflicted with a bad leg, which was in so dangerous a state
that the faculty declared amputation to be the only means of
saving her life. A large piece of flesh in a disordered state
came away from the calf. The wounds continued to inirease
in site, and the pain was so great that she began to despair of
obtaining relief until she commenced using Holloway's Oint-

a perfect cure of her leg, and completely restored her to
