PRANCE.

The draft of the Address of the Senate is to-day
reported in the Siecle, which reserves the full con-
sideration of each paragrah until the opening of the
debate, but its attention is attracted by an enig-
matical passage, which runs thus :—" Italy by her
attitude seconds herself the pacification of the fears
which she had created. The era of conflicts is
passed—that of compromise seems approaching.
At Turin no one speaks of Rome ; at Rome
people occupy themselves with reforms, and the
Holy Father, sustained by the presence of an
army, expresses loudly his gratitude to the Empe-
ror." "We ask," says the Sleds, "in what manner
the silence preserved at Turin, and the gratitude
which.Fius IX. feels for the Government that sup-
ports him, removes the era of conflicts, and brings
nearer that of compromise ?"
L'Opinion Nationale, referring to the paragraph
in question, observes that if the Senate adopts it,
it will have pledged itself more distinctly than ever
to the maintenance of the temporal power.
Le Pays, judging from the favourable reception
met with by the Address, believes that the debates
upon it will neither be very animated nor very pro-
longed. It applauds the calmness of its tone
especially as regards Italian affairs, and hopes that
advantage will be taken of the present lull to
reconcile the interests of Rome and Turin.

Le Constatutionnel is enthusiastic on the subjec
of the Emperor's Address to the French exhibitors.
It was more, it observes, than rewards given to en-
terprising workers, it was the consecration of the
triumph of a grand idea, and the triumph, also, of
a Sovereign who, notwithstanding prejudices and
obstacles, had reckoned on the forces of that nation
which he governs, and which he knows so well to
conduct to victory on the battlefields of peace as
well as of war. The speech of the Emperor was the
crowning of one of the most fruitful acts of his

reign.
The Corps Legislatif, yesterday, voted unani-
mously, immediately after the reading of the report
of M. Pouyer-Quartier, the credit of 5,000,000 fr.,
asked by the Government for the operatives in the
cotton districts,
In the Sleek we meet with a long account of the
execution of Ronca. This triple assassin expiated
his crime last Thursday at Aix. It is worthy of
remark that the man who nearly fell a victim to this
murderer's attempt has since died in consequence of
the excitement and the emotions of that sad event.
An immense crowd assembled to witness the execu-
tion, and from the preceding day the inhabitants of
the neighbouring localities had stationed themselves
in the vicinity. The courage of the unhappy man
completely gave way at the last, and the execu-
tioners were obliged almost to carry him to the
scaffold. This terrible scene appears to have caused
a considerable sensation among the spectators,

MARRIAGES IN INDIA.—A bill has been intro-
duced in the Legislative Council of India to legalise
all marriages of Christians in India contracted since 1851 in
the presence of persons not in holy orders, and to prevent
all doubts as to the legality of Dissenters' and native Chris-
tians' marriages for the future, caused by the decision of
the House of Lords that the English common law applies
to Indian marriages. As native Christians in thousands are
scattered over parts of India under pastors of their own
race, far from clergymen and marriage registrars, persons
are to be appointed for this class to register in a simple form,
efore witnesses, the consent of a couple to become man and
wife. Being Christians they are to be subject to the Chris-
tian law of affinity and consanguinity, and polygamy is not
permitted.
CHILD MURDER IN HOXTON.—Yesterday morn-
ing an inquiry was held by Mr. H. R. Walthew,
the deputy-coroner, at the Black Horse Tavern, Kingsland-
road, respecting the death of a female child, found mur-
dered in Hoxton-square, under the following circumstances
—William Wright said that he was keeper of the square,
and last Wednesday morning, while going his rounds, he
found a large canvas bag lying on the pavement. It con-
tained the body of deceased child. The bag had evidently
belonged to a wholesale grocer, and it was marked with the
letters "T. R.," in a diamond. The bag had not been in
the place where he found it four minutes before it was
picked up, but he saw no one going towards the spot with a
bundle. He gave the child to the police. Dr. J. Cluer
Griffith, police-surgeon, said that deceased was a fully-de-
veloped healthy child. It had been killed by a blow on the
side of the head, the injury from which was quite apparent.
There appeared to have been also some bruises on the face
from blows or pressure. The Coroner summed up, and ex-
pressed a hope that in this instance, at all events, the police
might be able to follow out the clue to the perpetrators of
the murder. The discovery and punishment of the offenders
in even one such case might do much to check the shocking
practice of child murder, but he had little hope of seeing it
put an end to until the laws on the subject were altered.
The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against some
person or persons unknown, and recommended that the
authorities should offer a reward for the apprehension of
the guilty parties.

A CHILD KILLED BY CAMPHOR.—On Monday
Mr. W. Carter held an inquiry at the Dun CoW
Tavern, High-street, Peckham, on the body of Harriet
Anna Castledine, aged 15 months, whose death took place
under the following circumstances :—The child, it appeared,
had not been well, and having asked for a drink, its father
took from a shelf a bottle which he supposed contained
medicine which it had been taking, and administered a
teaspoonful of the mixture. Immediately he had done so
his wife discovered that the bottle contained camphorated
oil, whi,h had been supplied by Mr. Plummer, a chemist
in the neighbourhood, and was so labelled. The wrong
bottle had been taken, and the label had not been noticed.
The child shook a great deal after taking the mixture, and
the father immediately went to the chemist who supplied it,
and was told he need not be alarmed, as camphorated oil
was not injurious. The child, however, became worse in
the course of the day, and was seized with convulsions.
Medical assistance was called in, and though the child
rallied for a short time, it died in 13 hours. The jury
returned a verdict that the child died from the administra-
tion of camphorated oil given by misadventure.
THE CAMPAGNA. -- Within this magnificent
amphitheatre lies the Campagna of Rome, and
nothing can be more rich and varied, with every kind of
beauty—sometimes, as around Ostia, flat as an American
prairie, with miles of canni and reeds rustling in the wind,
fields of exquisite feathery grasses waving to and fro, and
forests of tall golden-trunked stone-pines poising their
spreading umbrellas of rich green high in the air, and
weaving a murmurous roof against the sun; sometimes
drear, mysterious, and melancholy, as in the desolate
stretches between Civita Vecchia and Rome, with lonely
hollows and hill without a habitation, where sheep and
oxen feed, and the wind roams over treeless and deserted
slopes and silence makes its home ; sometimes rolling like
an inland sea whose waves have suddenly been checked and
stiffened, green with grass, golden with grain, and gracious
with myriads of wild flowers, where scarlet poppies blaze
over acres and acres, and pink-frilled daisies cover the
vast meadows, and pendant vines shroud the picturesque
ruins of antique villas, aqueducts, and tombs, or troop fromo
mediaeval towers and fortresses,--,Story's " lioba di Roma,
