" We are not astonished at the somewhat abrupt union
which has taken place between the Irish of the House
of Commons, and the imprudent author of the letter to
the Bishop of Durham. Without any doubt, the alliance
has been made to the profit of liberty—that is to say,
that henceforward Catholicism will be free in the three
kingdoms, at least, as much as it was before the vain
and odious attempt of the Whigs. We look on this
point to be so certainly gained that we do not even ask
for explanations. But we much want to have them on
another point—do the Peelites comprehend electoral re-
form in the same manner as the Whigs, and the Whigs
as the Radicals ? Does Lord Aberdeen not differ in
some way from Lord J. Russell ? and does Lord J.
Russell in his turn concede all that Sir W. Molesworth
or Mr. B. Osborne require ? We speak only, it will be
seen, of the members of the Cabinet. If we were to
speak of the House of Commons, we should have to in-
quire the opinion of Mr. Duncombe and the pretensions
of Mr. Hume."
The Emperor has sent 3,000 fr. to be distributed
amongst the workmen thrown out of employment
by the destruction of M. Malen's coach-factory.
M. Malen has received numerous marks of sym-
pathy from his neighbours. Prince Murat, who
with his son remained all night assisting to extin-
guish the fire, has sent I,ooof. to be distributed
amongst the operatives who have been deprived of
employment by the fire. The parish priest of Passy
has authorised M. Malen to distribute provisions
amongst the necessitous operatives. The Mayor
of Passy has opened a subscription for the sufferers.
The administration of the Messageries Nationales
-have placed their large coach-liouses and workshops
at theiclisposal of M. Malen, in order that his nu-
merous operatives may be employed as quickly as
possible. In addition to the three persons wounded,
an operative carpenter attached to the establish-
ment has been killed.
Letters from Strasburg mention a visit paid by '
the refugee Poles residing in that town, to the
number of between 40 and 50, to the prefect of the
department. One of them spoke warmly of the ad-
hesion of his countrymen to the Imperial Govern-
ment, and thanked the French Government for the
protection afforded them. In conclusion, he said
that the sympathies of the Poles might be under-
stood from the cry of " Vive l'Empereur," which
had become almost national among them.
Louis Napoleon drove out yesterday afternoon
in an open carriage and pair, which he drove him-
self. He was not accompanied by any escort, and
had not even a piqueur. He proceeded towards
the Hotel de Ville, and afterwards to the Champs
Elysees.
The Patric publishes a communicated note, stat-
ing that henceforward any application for audiences
at the Tuileries must be addressed to the Duke de
Bassano.
We read in the Moniteur :—" There has recently
appeared several works, and amongst them one
called ' Les Limites de la France,' which appear to
have for their object to flatter tendencies which it
is believed are those of the Government. The
Government rejects all connection with the authors
of these works, the spirit of which is as far from
the intentions of the Emperor as from his openly
declared policy." The work referred to demands a
large extension of the frontiers of France.
The Constitutionnel denies the report which has
obtained currency in the English and American
journals to the effect that the French contemplated
the occupation of the peninsula of Samaur. The
report arose out of the movements of the French
frigate Sybille, which left her station after the
epidemic ceased at Martinique, to give her crew a
change of air. She went cruising about in dif-
ferent parts of the waters of the Antilles, and it is
her presence in the waters of Hayti which gave
birth to the rumour.
The same journal declares upon authority that
the Russian Admiralty has sent to all the com-
manders of naval divisions of the imperial navy of
Russia orders to celebrate everywhere, with the
greatest pomp, in conjunction with the French
authorities, the fete of the proclamation of the
establishment of the French Empire ; and upon
the authority of a German paper it also adds, that
Hanover has recognised the Emperor of the French,
while the King of the Two Sicilies continues to
display much good will towards France, and has
dispatched conciliatory offers to Paris respecting
the indemnity claimed by Prince Lucien Murat,
for the capital and interest representing the furni-
ture and jewels belonging to King Joachim Murat,
which the Bourbon family found after his flight,
and never returned. The amount of , these claims
is stated at 12 millions. The King of Naples, it
is stated, offers to reimburse the original sum
without the 35 years' interest, but as yet no an-
swer has been received at Naples to this offer.
The Pope has just sent to M. Ducos, Minister of
the Marine, the grand cordon of his order, the
insignia of which were delivered to him by on-
signor Garibaldi, the Papal Nuncio, who at the
same time expressed to him the gratitude felt by
his Holiness for the services rendered to him by the
French Navy.
The number of new books, in French and other
languages, published in France in 1852 was 7,787.
In 1851 it was only 6,350. There was the same
proportionate increase in 1852 in printed music,
prints, and maps.
The corporation of the bakers of Paris have cele-
brated the re-establishment of the Empire by a
public dinner. Mr. Doisneau, the senior member of
the syndicate, proposed " The health of the Emperor
Napoleon III." M. Darblay, member of the
Chamber of Commerce, said—" Who can doubt
that looking at the price of wheat and flour, Paris
is, of all cities in Europe, that in which bread is
cheapest and best ? Statistical returns prove that
the manner in which the bakers' trade is organ-
ised in Paris ensures to the consumers of that city
an economy of not less than 3,000,000 fr. What
would the saving be, if the same organisation was
extended to the whole of France ? Ido not hesi-
tate to declare that upwards of 100 millions would
be saved, particularly to the labouring classes.
The organisation of the bakers' trade in Paris is,
perhaps, under a Government anxious to carry
out evident improvements, destined to serve as a
model for the other trades. Why should the Go-
vernment deprive itself of the force of action which
it would find in a wise organisation of the various
corporations ? Undoubtedly it would facilitate and
simplify the action of the Government. If well
organised and directed, the corporations would be,
for the maintenance of order, a valuable assist-
ance to the regular troops—would be, in fact, the
civil army of order.
The announcement of further defaulters at the
Bourse to-day produced a fall in the price of Go-
vernment securities. The Four-and-a-Half per
Cents, opened at 106 f. 15c., and closed at 105 f.
90c. for the end of the month ; the Three per Cents.
closed at 45c. ; Orleans Railway Shares,
1,027 f. 50c. ; Rouen, 990 f. ; Havre, 535 f. ; Great
Northern, 887 f. 50c. ; Bale, 360 f. ; Paris and
Strasburg, 810 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 922 f. 50c. ;
Lyons and Marseilles, 776 f. 25c. ; Western of
France, 780 f. ; Caen and Cherbourg, 630 f. ; Bor-
deaux and Cette, 602 f. 50c. ; Shares of the new
Bank of Credit Mobilier, issued at 500 f., 905 f.

Persia. The number of deaths per day was not le:
than 1,000.
[ADVERTISEMENTJ—HoIIoways pills a wonderful re-
medy for Bile, Jaundice, and Liver complaints.—Ex-
tract of a letter from Mrs. M. Wood to Mr. Jenkins,
chemist, Christchurch, dated Sept. 13, 1852.—"
I suffered for seven months from a liver complaint,
jaundice, and a severe bilious attack. During the whole
of this time I was under medical treatment, but experi-
enced no relief whatever. I was at length recommended
to try Holloway's pills, which I did, and am happy to
say that this invaluable medicine, in the course of a very
short period, has effected a perfect cure and restored me
to health so that I can with confidence recommend it to
others similarly afflicted.—(Signed) Mary Wood."—
