been celebrated at Frolisderf by a formal exchange of
visits between the Duke de Nemours and the Duke de
Bordeaux, and we presume that the oldest surviving son
of Louis Philippe must be held to have acted on this oc-
casion as the representative of the whole branch of the
Royal family to which he belongs. Whatever may be
the merits of this scheme of fusion, to which more im-
portance has been attached than it really deserves, it is
gratifying that princes so nearly united by blood and so
closely identified by their misfortunes should have agreed
to bury in oblivion differences connected altogether with
the history of the past, and to put au end to that divi-
sion of the Royal Family of France which contributed,
with other causes, to the total subversion of the monarchy.
They quarrelled, unhappily for themselves, as long as they
had anything to quarrel about, and nothing but exile and
a common fate has now brought them together. But this
event terminates that scandalous speetacle of rival parties
in the same family bidding against one another for the
national favour, and allowing the divisions of their re-
spective adherents to weaken still further the cause of
the Crown. Personally, we have no doubt that the
reconciliation is hailed with great satisfaction by both
branches of the family, and, whatever may be the future
destiny of their house, it is seemly that they should meet
it or endure it together. The Orleans branch was raised
to the throne by one revolution and deposed by another.
The interval was a period of unexampled freedom and
prosperity to Frai ce. But the reign of Louis Philippe,
in spite of the great services rendered by that Sovereign
to his country, created no rights and left few traces
behind it. The Orleans princes had nothing to renounce,
and in losing the throne they were restored to their
natural position towards the head of their family. This
reconciliation is, therefore, no more than the recognition
of a state of things which already existed, and the
honourable extinction of those feelings of resentment
injuries
which mutual in former times had left behind
them. It changes in reality nothing, and it can hardly
be said to alter the position of any important parties in
France.

sisters to the tender mercies of a Paris mob. Can they
who dared not strike one blow to retain a throne be
worthy to fill it, or capable of winning it ? There is
some comfort in the thought that they are not likely to
succeed, but that very circumstance would increase their
guilt if they made the attempt. Our history shows the
many evils entailed by the efforts of an exhausted, effete
race, such as were the Stuarts, and as are the Bourbons,
to regain the throne they have forfeited by misgovern-
ment, and we sincerely hope they may be spared to our
neighbours. Those days are past for us, we trust never
to return ; may we not witness the like in France !
That e)untry has undoubtedly been secured severalyears
of tranquillity and progress by the masculine and saga-
cious rule of the present Emperor. We may, perchance,
regret that his power was founded on violence, though
it may be that those acts were necessasy to the cure of
the ills from which the country had long been suffering.
But now there is no such excuse or necessity ; and he
who throws the nation into trouble for his own selfish
ends will, whoever he may be, and whatever his descent,
deserve the punishment certain to fall on numbers of his
victims and accomplices, though he, the chief and author
of all, may escape.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

CARMARTHEN AND CARDIGAN.

A public meeting was held on Monday at Cardigan to
promote the formation of a line of railway on the broad
gauge, from Carmarthen to this town, and the construc-
tion of a harbour of refuge in Cardigan bay.
The MAYOR (Mr. Davis) took the chair, and adverted
to the disadvantages which the port had long laboured
under from the want of railway communication. At
present they might be said to be cut off from the other
parts of the kingdom. The position of the harbour and
bay presented many facilities for developing a large
amount of traffic, which could not fail to be productive
of muchi good to the principality. It was, therefore,
with some considerable satisfaction that he had seen the
scheme taken up in the spirited manner it had been.
The harbour of refuge would be of paramount import-
ance, not only in a commercial but in a national point
of view.
Mr. FITZWILLIAIf then went into a lengthened detail
of the character and route of the proposed railway, and
extent and position of the harbour of refuge. Having
explained the great source of traffic to be found in the
mineral district through which the line would run, he
alluded to the harbour, and the strong probability of a
line of packets being put on between the principal Irish
ports and that of Cardigan, which was several hours
nearer to London than by the way of Holyhead. He
had no doubt of the success of the undertaking, and he
trusted for the prosperity of the neighbourhood that it
would be carried out.

Mr. LLOYD then moved the first resolution, to the
effect " That in the opinion of this meeting, the Cardi-
gan and Carmarthen Railway and Cardigan Harbour
Improvement Company merits the support of the town
and corporation of Cardigan, as also of the farmers,
landowners, and others interested in the prosperity of
the principality ; and this meeting pledges itself to
promote the objects of the company by supporting the
undertaking to the utmost of their power." Re bore
strong testimony to the advantages which would result
from the proposed extension of the railway from Car-
marthen.

Mr. JONES seconded the resolution, which was
adopted, as were other resolutions in favour of the
scheme.

It was stated that 250,0001. had been subscribed in
the principality towards carrying out the scheme, and
that meetings were held last week at Carmarthen and
Newcastle, at which resolutions were adopted fully ap-
proving the undertaking.
