LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPT. 26, 1863.

The cleverest of the Orleans Princes, his Royal
Highness the Duke d'AumALE, has recently been
delivering a capital speech, in good sterling Eng-
lish, down in Worcestershire. Though a sojourner
amongst v s as an exiled Frenchman, he spoke
throughout as a thoroughly naturalized Englishman.
A member of the younger branch of the House of
Bourbon--that great obsolete dynasty the records of
which are so inextricably intertwined with the an-
nals
of Christendom through so many past centu-
ries—the Duke d'AUMALE could yet on Wednesday
last, so completely realise his new position as an
English landowner and country gentleman, that,
French Prince though he is, he contrived to preside
as Chairman on that day down at Evesham as
well as any true-born Englishman in the land
could possibly have done, or ever yet did, over a
farmers banquet at the close of the proceedings in
connection with the local Agricultural Association.
The courtly grace with which his royal highness
proposed the loyal toasts at the outset of his oratori-
cal labours as Chairman, was but the preliminary
-to the very able and indeed remarkable address
delivered by him to the assembled company when
proposing the toast of the evening. This speech,
in its entirety, will be found in another part of our
impression of this evening. To the perusal of our
readers, we would heartily commend it. Not a sen-
tence of it all, but may be read now most pleasur-
ably. It affords, in a quite casual or incidental way,
conclusive evidence that, not without good rea-
son, have these exiled Princes have been
taken home, as it were, into the real heart-born
affection of the English people, in the midst of
which they have now for fifteen years been living.
In his own person, the Duke D'AUMALE is a dis-
tinct indication of the fact that, intellectually, this
race of princes cannot be said with any truth to
have degenerated. Other dynasties may be declared
undeniably and, for the most part, we believe, by
reason of the deteriorating influence of perpetual
intermarriages, to have sunk, generation after
generation into an cff,"ta condition, until
at last they haee become mere drivellers or
nonentities. Not So, has it been with regard to the
Orleans Family. S 0 far from degenerating, they
appear to have made no inappreciable advance•
merit in this way, that is, intellectually. The
grandsire of H.E.H. the Duke D'AUMALE, it must
be confessed, CIiJOYS (to say the least cf it) a very
indeed,in modern history,
dubious reputation,
His sire, the late Citizen King of the FRENCH,
beginning his reign under
happy auspices
enough, closed it under some of the un
happiest, and has left :behind him a name,
among modern rulers, somewhat dubious (to say
the least of it) in its character. The ability (Axing
LOUIS PHILIPPE, while undoubtedly considerable,
was of a kind principally' remarkable for its will-
eSS.

He was a Monarch so excessively astute in
his policy that the time at length arrived when, by
reason of that same over-astuteness, ho himself
ended in being overreached by circumstances. Not
in the least, of this nature and quality are the
talents for which the descendants of the late ex-
KING are undoubtedly noteworthy amongst their
contemporaries. Not such are the kind of
abilities, by the display of Which his Royal
Highness the Dak3 D'AUAIALE wins our admi-
ration. He has learnt from adversity. He is
essentially:manly, as:well:as princely, in his view of
things as they have come to be around him and
his. He is no intriguer. Ho is content to take,
according to the old Pagan phrase (a good
phrase, though Pagan) with thankfulness the
goods the Gods have gives him, or have left him, it
might be said, remembering how much larger, more
varied, and more numerous they were wont to be,

A French Prince—not unworthy of the name
—he eannot help showing himself to be,
alwayfi and under every imaginable cir-
cumstance. But, on Wednesday last, at Eves-
ham., he was evidently bent upon appearing in
the light in which he mainly did appear, there, in
his capacity as Chairman at the banquet of the
Agricultural Society in that part of Worcestershire
—namely, as a genial, kindly, enlightened, eloquent
English Country Gentleman.

Another of those melancholy cases which occa-
sionally thrust themselves upon public attention,
and testify to the hardships attendant on the
rigorous execution of our poor law, has recently
come before us. It occurred in a locality whose
very name has become synonymous with poverty in
its lowest and most squalid forms; for the famous
Beggar of Bethnal-green, in the old ballad, has
many inheritors of his name and position, though
few with his goodly show of savings. The poor
rates doubtless are high in such a district, and
press heavily on a population ill-fitted to bear them.
We must, therefore, make some allowance for the
natural anxiety of the guardians to keep them
down. Still there is too much ground to fear that
the case before us represents many others ; and it is
urgently necessary that some change should be
made in the manner in which relief is administered
to the suffering poor before winter lays his icy hand
upon them. It appears that a cooper, living in
Bethnal-green, mei with a serious accident some
two years ago, which has ever since incapacitated
him from work. He applied to the parish for as-
sistance for himself and his wife. They were told
to come into the house. This last resource of the
desperate, however, the poor man shrunk from with
invincible disgust ; and, certainly, from what we
have heard of the condition of the sick and infirm
in workhouse infirmaries, he had some grounds for
his aversion. However, all help was denied him,
except on this condition, and so he and his wife
had to fight on their way alone. The wife sold
matches, from which she gained enough to supply
them sometimes with one, sometimes with two,
meals of dry bread per diem. And so the struggle
went on until the poor man died, according to
the verdict of the doctor, from disease accelerated
by the want of proper and sufficient food. Even
this climax, however, did not move the adamant
resolve of the guardians, who left the poor match-
seller unaided until the coroner's jury had censured
their negligence. It is likely that in the crowd of
poor who throng that neighbourhood, the very
existence of the poor cooper and his wile had been
forgotten; but what excuse can be made for leaving
them under the circumstances ;In which they first
applied for relief without any help or care? Here
was a case of absolute and unavoidable distress
brought on by no vice or folly, simulated by no
ingenious hypocrisy. The guardians or other ad-
ministrators of the poor law might judge tor them-
selves how far the earnings of a matchseller in such
a place were likely to supply a living for two
people ? The test of entrance into the workhouse,
supposed to be so trustworthy, is often entirely the
reverse. The idle, thriftless, and vagabond may
not shrink from a few weeks' residence, but the
more respectable poor shrink from entirely break-
ing up their little homes, and the consequent dis-
persion of families and the bad company they are
thrown among. The feelings of self-respect and
independence, which are so thoroughly English,
are against such a proceeding, and these sentiments
surely deserve encouragement rather than repres-
sion. So long as the appeals of our honest poor in
times of extreme and undeserved misfortune meet
with such responses, there will be an obstacle in
the way of the reclamation of our criminals greater
and more formidable than any raised by their own
Itendencies.

The recent haymaking case at Leigh has occa-
sioned so much controversy, and excited so much
indignation, that it has been thought desirable to
put forward a statement of the affair as it appeared
to the magistrates. Mr. RICHARD MARSH, clerk to
the magistrates of Leigh and Atherton, has addressed
a letter to our contemporary, in which he strenu-
ously defends his chiefs from the charges of harsh-
ness and prejudice brought against them, and en-
deavours to prove that they acted not only with
strict legality, but with moderation and justice.
He affirms that Sunday haymaking had for some time
become frequent in the neighbourhood of Leigh and
Atherton, and that owing to the custom of paying
the men in meat end drink for that day's work in-
stead of money, scenes of drunkenness and disorder
were common. A clergyman in the vicinity com-
plained of the disturbance occasioned by these riot-
ous haymakers, and a policeman in open court as-
sured the magistrates that Sunday haymaking was
on the increase, and was the fruitful source of riot
and disorder. Under these circumstances, the police
were despatched to the fields of the defendants in
this now famous case, where they found a number
of men at work, some sober and some otherwise,
while the fineness of the weather in the opinion of
the prosecutors deprived the offenders of the plea
of necessity. The further particulars of the case,
given by Mr. MARSH, we need not repeat, as in
substance it differs very little from what has been
said before. From this statement Mr. MARSH
draws his own inferences. The Atherton magic
trates, he says, deserve the thanks of the working
people of the neighbourhood for thus protecting
their interests against their grasping employers,
who would deprive them of their day's rest. The
occupants of the Bench only desire, he affirms, " to
repel the imputation of partial and oppressive
administration of justice. They are not responsible
for the policy, be it good or bad, of any piece of
legislation on which it is their duty to act." That
is true, but at the same time all magistrates are in-
vested with a wide discretion of power, and the
question is not so much whether they have out-
stepped the law, as whether they have not outrun
the bounds of good sense and discretion. It is pos-
sible, nay probable, that the magistrates had some
grounds for their decision, as the prosecutors had,
in all likelihood, some foundatiori for the prosecu-
tion. But, was their object to obtain a temporary
triumph over two or three particular individuals, or
to increase the popular respect and regard for the
Sunday in the neighbourhood ? If it was the
former, they had the gratification of a questionable
and short-lived success; if the latter, they must
themselves admit they have miserably failed. In
the first place, the evils of which they complained
could be but very temporary in their nature, and
must have pretty well run their course before the
interference of these sapient expounders of the
In the second place, the necessities of harvest appeal
so forcibly to the common sense and right feeling
of every man, that the Sabbatarians could scarcely
find a more unfortunate subject of contention. In
this changeable and uncertain climate, where it is
next to impossible to reckon confidently on the
long continuance of steady and settled fair wea-
ther, every indulgence is liberally accorded by
public opinion to those whose business it is to
gamer in the fruits of the earth for the general
good. Even in this glorious summer, whose golden
products we are all rejoicing over, how sudden a
change came over the beginning of the autumn
months! What a long spell of' dark, rainy, and
usettkld Weather followed closely en the lcrig

bright days. The assertion of Mr. MARSH that
when the officers arrived in ACKWORTH'S field,
a great part of the work remained to do, and
some of the hay could not be fit for carrying in
less than two days, is rather against himself than
otherwise, since it was consequently all the more
necessary to secure every fine day. There is no
doubt that the magistrates acted from good
motives ; the pity is that good motives so often pro-
duce unwise and mischievous actions. The general
feeling of the vicinity is certainly against the ma-
gistrates, and every such case which stirs up
popular excitement, which makes religion and law
appear the oppressors instead of the protectors of
the people, is a great disadvantage. There are always
plenty of fluent declaimers ready to comment ou
the inconsistencies of precept and practice among
the upper classes, and they can point their moral
with an illustration like this—what contemptuous
wrath will be called forth against the magistrates
driving to church, and the parson's hot dinner on a
Sunday. It has been generally accepted as the
sound and first principle of English legislation,
that it is wrong and foolish to attempt to coerce men
in matters of opinion, but the recent proceedings of
the Atherton magistrates and their present defence
are entirely in opposition to this axiom. The whole
affair is much to be regretted, and it is to be hoped
that it is the last case of the kind which we shall
hear. At the same time, if public opinion exercises
its vast influence in resisting the very shadow of
religions or legal oppression, it has also a right to
insist that its interference is not abused, and that
those who find it necessary to employ Sunday
labour should for the future guard against those
arrangements of which respectable men have a
right to complain, and which convert the extra
and exceptional working day into an unseemly and
riotous holiday.

The King of HOLLAND'S speech on the opening
of the Session seems to be a most satisfactory affair.
It embraces in its extended range many points of
interest, and altogether forms a marked contrast in
its tone and style to the addresses and discourses of
many other Sovereigns. In many respects the
KING announces a state of things that seem too
good to be true. Thus we learn that friendly rela-
tions are maintained with other Powers, a treaty
has been arranged with Belgium, and the land and
sea forces at home and abroad are in a state of great
efficiency; a projet de loi will be submitted to the
Etats on the subject of the defence of the country.
For this purpose the National Guard is to be now
organised. Among other improvements, railways
in Java are expected to spread prosperity among
the natives. This will doubtless be the case, since
that species of undertaking, more than any other,
seems to contribute to the general welfare and well-
being of the community among whom they are in-
troduced. The slave population in the Western
possessions, it is said, attribute a great impor-
tance to their freedom. This is very satisfac-
tory intelligence, and it would be well if
many others were induced to follow so good
an example, and to confer the inestimable
boon of liberty upon their slaves. The result could
not fail to be otherwise than agreeable and benefi-
cial to all concerned in the transaction. In propor-
tion to the increase of the population of the king-
dom, it is intended to:increase the number of deputies
to the second chamber of the Etats Generaux. The
fiscal affairs appear as flourishing as home matters
are satisfactory, and foreign relations tranquil.
Thus it is not proposed to put on any new taxes,
for the expenses will be so arranged as to preclude
the necessity for such an unwelcome imposition.
Altogether the KING may be congratulated on hav •
ing so pleasing a discourse to utter, and the depn-
ties on having such delightful intelligence to hear.
Holland may well be cited as an example to States
with much more power, and possessed of ten times
her resources. The happiest countries are not
always the most potent.

ENGLISH FARCES TRANSLATED INTO GERMAN.
—Three new numbers of " The Modern English Comic

PRODUCTION OF GOLD IN MEXICO from 1690 to
our days•--In 1690 the Mexican Mint issued piastres for
five millions ; in 1700 for seven millions ; from 1700 to
1800, the quantity of gold coined increased progressively
every year, and reached the figure of twenty-five millions.
It then decreased—in 1810 it was reduced to seventeen mil •
lions; in 1817 it had fallen to half a million in all. It rose
again, in 1852, to two and a half millions, and in 1860 to
nearly four—that is, less than in 1690.

AN IN STRUM ENT FOR ASCERTAINING THE HEIGHT
OF A CLOUD, DESCRIBED BY PROF. CHLVALLIER.—
This little instrument consisted of two jointed rulers, gra-
duated from the centre of the joint, and one of them fur-
nished with an upright sliding piece,
with an opening to
allow the sun's light to pass, the edge of which is at a
known distance by the scale from the ruler on which the
piece slides. If, then, the distance in miles or yards at
which the shadow of a cloud is cast upon the earth be known,
by laying one branch of the ruler towards the shadow of
the cloud and the other in the direction of the vertical line
from the part of the cloud which casts the shadow directly
on the earth beneath the cloud, and then moving the slid-
ing-piece along this latter branch of the ruler until the
shadow of the edge of the opening just reaches the middle
of the rod laid in the direction of the shadow of the cloud,
you have on the ruler and the sliding-piece an exact repre-
sentation in miniature of the actual circumstances of the
cloud, and a simple rule-of-three calculation gives the ver-
tical height of the cloud above the earth. Thus, t, multiply
the distance of the shadow of the cloud (supposed to be
known) by thelheight of the sliding-piece and divide by the
distance of the shadow of the sliding-piece from the angle
of the rulers, and the quotient is the height of the cloud re-
quired."
TEARING Ur OF THE TREATIES OF 1815 !—lt has
been noticed just now, as a symptom of the growing
boldness of French journalism in handling delicate subjects,
that M. Emile do Girardin has not scrupled to reply thus,
vigorously to the ridiculous accusation recently brought
forward in La France against Russia, to the effect that she
(Russia) had just now torn up the Treaties of 1815 ;—" It
is a long time that the Treaties of 1815 have ceased to exist ;
they were trampled under foot in 1852, when Prince Louis
Napoleon Bonaparte ascended the Imperial Throne, under
the style of Napoleon 111., Emperor of the French, thereby
describing himself the successor of Napoleon L and Napo-
leon 11., thus tearing up Art. 2 of the treaty of alliance of
Nov. 20, 1815; they ceased to exist when Austria made
over to France in 1859 the duchy of Milan (specified in
Art. 93), and subsequently transferred to Piedmont; they
ceased to exist when the Duke of Modena lost his duchies

JUSTICE WITH HER SCALES—THE PIICENIX.
AND ITS ASHES.--O'er many of their doors—doors
of
magnificent offices—perfect palaces in building and ar-
rangement—we sea two symbolical figures, the appropriate-
ness of which seems to make them everlasting mvourites.
One is that of Justice with her scales ; the other that of a
phoanix rising and renewing its noble youth from its own
ashes. Now, there is no doubt but that if a man is unfor-
tunate enough to be " burnt out," and, at the same time,
fortunate enough to be insured in a good office, he may re-
build his house nobly and recover the blow. If he be not
insured, he is, in 9 cases out of 10, a ruined man for ever
after. The ashes of his little goods, or of his great pcsses•
sions—and it matters really, perhaps, more in reality, and
certainly more relatively, to the poor man than to the rich
—are not the ashes of the phoenix, But the office is itself
an emblem of the fabled Egyptian bird. It flourishes and
nourishes itself by fire, or rather the dread of fire, but to do
so permanently it should take the other emblem in hand,
and like Justice hold an even-handed balance, and with
bandaged eyes, after once having looked well into the ante-
cedents and character of its client, and determined upon
accepting--as it always has the choice of rejecting—his
policy, it should pay down the agreed sum without cayil or
question,—cf!y ,Press,

The Police Gazette publishes an ordinance to the
effect that in future every house from which a shot

made on the life of a public officer, will be confiscated,
and the inhabitants imprisoned and rendered re-
sponsible for the offence. Kochanski, a National

that the opinion of the French Government relative
to the negotiations on the Polish question was that
it was preferable to close a useless discussion."
The same journal says :

" The mission of Nubar Pasha is stated to consist
in laying before the Suez Canal Company the bases
on which the Porte and Egypt would wish to nego-

" 1. The Company would entirely relinquish the
conceded territory.

"2. The Porte would, on the other hand, autho-
rise the Egyptian Government to furnish con-
tingents of workmen on condition that they did not
exceed 6,000 men at a time."
The Courrier du Dinzanche doubts that the con-

(By telegraph to Halifax.)

President Lincoln has suspended the Habeas
Corpus Act throughout the United States in all
cases where the military, naval, or civil Govern-
ment officers hold persons under their command or
custody as prisoners of war, spies, eiders, or abet-
tors of the enemy, enrolled, drafted, enlisted, or

ral service or deserters.

This suspension will be continued in force dur-
ing the duration of the rebellion, or until President
Lincoln sees fit to revoke it.

The reported capture of Fort Moultrie and the
occupation of James Island by the Federals is un.
true.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17 (Evening).
General Lee's forces still defend the line of the
Rapidan.

A Federal attempt to cross yesterday was re-
pulsed at three points.
Nothing positive is known of the positio❑ of
Lee's main army or the object of his retrogade
movement. One theory is that the bulk of his
forces has been sent down the East Tennessee and
Virginia Railroad to attack Burnside and Rose-
cra.nz.

An early advance by Meade towards Richmond
is considered probable.
It is reported that Burnside has joined Rose-
cranz at Chattanooga.
Rosecranz's advance has occupied Dalton,
Georgia. A general engagement with Bragg is ex•
peoted near Lafayette.

News from Charleston to the 15th states that the
Federals were erecting batteries on the upper end
of Morris Island, under a heavy fire from Forts
Johnson and Moultrie, where the Confederates
have two 15-inch guns.
One of the magazines on James Island has ex-
ploded. The monitor Patapsco has been towed to
