INTERESTING DISCOVERY.—On levelling a bank at
Mutley-farm, in the parish of Pennycross, the property
of the Rey. C. Trelawny a few days since, the workmen
discovered a broken cannon and a sabre, which no doubt
were left there at the time Prince Maurice raised the
siege of Plymouth, A.D. 1643, the site being opposite
and within range of the Mawdlyn Fort, which was one
of the outworks thrown up by the Parliamentarians for
the defence of the northern part of the town.—Plymouth

" This novel amply sustains +he fame of the author of ' Jane Ej:e'
and ' Shirley' as an original and powerful writer. Illicit& is a
most admirably written novel, everywhere original, everywhere
shrewd, and at heart everywhere kinely."—Exammer.
" I his book would have made •Cuirer Bell famous bad she not
been already. It retrieves all the ground she lost in Shirley,' and
it will engage a wider circle of readers than Jane Eyre,' for it has
all the best qualities of that remarkable book. There is throughout
a charm of freshness which is infinitely delightful;"—Literary
Gazette.

" Viltette' is not only a very able but a very pleasant book. It is
abundant in clear, clear-cut, stronply-drawn etchings, presenting so
pleasant and effective a transcript of manner's, English and Conti-
nental, ,that its success cannot fait to be remarkable."—Morning
Chronicle.

" Everything written by Currer Bell is remarkable. She can
touch nothing without leaving on it the stamp of originality. Of her
three novels this is perhaps the strangest; the most astonishing,
though not the best. The sustained ability is perhaps greater in
' Villette than in its two predee-ssors. The whole three volumes
are crowded with beauties."—Daily News.

FINAACIAL AFFAIRS OF FRANCE.

The report published by M. Bineau, the French Mi-
nister of Finance, on the present condition of the Trea-
sury and the prospects of the revenue for 1853 admits of
being condensed into a very few statements. It appears
that prior to 1852 the accumulated deficits represented
by the floating debt amounted to 26,070,0001. For
1852 the estimates at first showed a further deficiciency
of 4,120,0001., but of this sum credits to the amount of
1,480,0001. will be annulled, while the increase in the
receipts over the figures originally assumed is found to
have been 1,520,000/. These amounts together make
3,000,000/., and hence the actual deficit for that year
will be reduced to 1,120,0001. The improvement
which has thus occurred in the revenue has arisen
both from the indirect and direct taxes. The
former, it is pointed out, have recovered to
32,400,000/., and are now within 680,000/. of their
mount in the most prosperous year of the reign of
Louis Philippe (1846), while if allowance is made for
the balance of taxes since taken off they exceed it by
80,000/. Adding the deficit of 1852 to that which had
previously accumulated, together with 3,120,000/. for
reimbursements to dissentient holders during the recent
conversion of the Five per Cents., the total is 30,300,000/.
M. Bineau then proceeds to state that, owing to the
large amounts constantly receivable by the Treasury for
the savings banks and public establishments, and on
which the Government allow interest, this position of
the floating debt is not too heavy. It is composed at
present of about 7,600,000/. due to savings banks, about
6,280,000/. due to the various communes and public
establishments, about 4,800,000/. of Treasury bonds in
circulation, and of other items such as the advances
from the Receivers-General, &c., its aggregate
being 27,600,000/. As a set-off the Treasury
possesses about 3,640,000/. in the obligations of railway
companies, which will mature at various periods in fu-
ture years. With regard to 1853, and the possibility of
establishing an equilibrium,

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

Both houses met to-day for the first time after the
Christmas recess. The attendance was not numerous
in either house. In the House of Lords, all the mini-
sters having seats in this house were present. On the
opposition benches were the Earl of Derby, the Duke of
Northumberland, the Earl of Ellenborough, Lord Col-
chester, and the Marquis of Salisbury. In the House of
Commons the attendance on the ministerial side was
numerous, but the Opposition benches were scantily
filled. All the new members were present, and took
the oaths after their re-election. On the Opposition
benches we noticed Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Walpole, Sir John
Pakington, Sir F. Kelly, Mr. Spooner, and Mr. F.

spend their Sunday in smother way than church-going.
If the name of the Crystal Palace had never been breathed
they would not spend it other wise. They are already beyond
the dominion of the clergyman, if indeed they ever were
within it ; and those whose office it is to minister to the
soul's wants do Lot show the power to bring them into
the fold. It is they who will go to Sydenham on Sunday
if the palace be open, and if not, they will go somewhere
else. It is better then—seeing that they will put the day
to secular rather than religious uses—that they should be
left to their own resources, left to find their way to and
from the suburban tea-garden or the rural public-house,
or the not over-pious recreations of Cremorne, or that
they should be led to scenes which, apart from all question
as to the way in which the day should be spent, all will
admit are elevating and refining. We do not see how any
one can hesitate about the answer. If they will have
pleasure on Sunday, let that pleasure at least be of the
best kind. If they will not worship with the minister, at
least guard them from the temptation to wallow with the
beast, and allow them to go where some thought of purity
and goodness may be called up by the beautiful, and
where, perchance, without their lips obeying the accents
of prayer, they may, amidst so much to touch the higher
faculties of our nature, feel something of that reverential
awe for the power which presides over the destinies of the
world, which is blended with all real adoration.
If the clergy would look at the subject in its true light,
and would, at the same time, have faith in the creed they
profess and their own earnestness of purpose and fitness
to be its advocates, they would say with us—Throw open
the Crystal Palace on Sundays, so that purer enjoyments
on that day may be available for the many, so that higher
aims may be developed and nobler thoughts nurtured ; so
that in our efforts to make the world better we may have
to deal with beings raised above grossness, elevated in
point of intellect, and gifted with a perception of the
useful and a love for the beautiful. With such materials
to work upon, those who labour to improve the public
morality, raise the general taste, and minister to the
happiness of the many, will have greater opportunities
than have ever yet been within their reach. If we cannot
make the world all good at once, surely it is woi se than
folly therefore to refuse to allow it to be better than it is.

then, amidst if possible still greater acclamations

the top of which, together with the spade, it was tri-
umphantly elevated. The noble marquis then, together
with about 80 gentlemen, returned to Seaham Hall,
where a handsome dejcumer was served. Here the cus-
tomary toasts were given and responded to. The health
of the Mayor of Sunderland was proposed by the Mar-
quis of Londonderry, who, in return, gave "The Health
of Lord Londonderry, and Prosperity to the Port and
Railway of Seaham," and the proceedings terminated in
general congratulations and expressions of mutual good
wishes and satisfaction.
The extraordinary spirit and energy displayed by Lord
Londonderry, notwithstanding his advanced age, were
the subject of general remark. His heart and soul
seemed to be in the work as much as if he had been in
the prime of life, and he spoke for more than half an
hour, standing bare-headed all the time.

MAYNOOTH.

The Earl of WINCIIELSEA. gave notice that on an
early day he should move for a committee to inquire
into the moral and social principles of the system of
education pursued at Maynooth.
Lord BEAATMONT presented a petition from the
Mechanics' Institution, praying for the distribution of
Parliamentary papers.
Lord CAMPBELL laid on the table a bill to amend
Lord Lyndhurst's Act with regard to admitting parties
to bail while writs of error were pending.
The bill was read a first time.
LEGAL REFORM.

Lord ST. LEO:'.,TAR,DS laid on the table a bill for

the further relief of suitors in Chancery. The mode by

which he proposed to effect this was by proper arrange-
ments in the Accountant-General's office, and thus re-
duce to a great extent the expenses of litigation, and
afford also to the Consolidated Fund a relief of 26,0001.
now paid by it.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that his noble and
learned friend had kindly forwarded to him some days
ago a copy of this bill, but he must confess he had not so
far been able to master the details of it. The subject
was one more of a financial than a legal character, and
he hoped the noble and learned lord would allow the bill
to remain some time on the table of the House before
moving a second reading, in order that noble lords might
make themselves acquainted with the details of it.
The Bill was read a first time.

Lord ST. LEONARDS also laid on the table three
Bills with regard to the laws affecting lunatics. The
first and second related to lunacy proceedings in Chan_
eery, and the third to the visitation of lunatic asylums.
By a clause in his last Act, his lordship said
Bethelehem hospital was subject to the same rules and
visitation as other lunatic aslylums from which it had
hitherto been exempted.
The bills were severally read a first time.
Lord St. LEONARDS also laid on the table a bill to
amend the Law of Bankruptcy, an object of which was
to abolish the first, second, and third class of certificates ;
also, a bill for the amendment of some parts of the
Criminal Law.

Lord CAMPBELL highly approved of the UM, but
was of opinion that it should not come into operation
until the whole code was laid down and established, and
hoped that his learned friend would introduce a clause
to that effect.
THE SIX-MILE-BRIDGE AFFRAY.

The Earl of CARDIGAN gave notice that on Tues-
day he should put a question to her Majesty's Govern
ment as to the course they intended to take with re.
Bard to the trial of the soldiers for the late affair at Six•
mile-bridge.

New Work by the Author of "Jane Eyre," "Shirley," &c.
Just published, and may be hat at all the Libraries,

VILLETTE. By CURRER BELL.
Three vols., post Bvo.
" This novel amply sustains the fame of the author of ' Jane Eyie'
and ' Shirley' as an original and powerful wrier. Villette' is a
most admirably written novel, everywhere original, everywhere
shrewd, and at heart everywhere kindly."—Exammer.

"l his book would have made Currer Bell famous had she not
been already. It retrieves all the ground she lost in Shirley,' and
it will engage a wider circle of readers than Jane Eyre,' for it has
all the beat qualities of that remarkable book. There is throughout
a charm of freshness which is infinitely delightful."—Literary
Gazette.

" Villette' Is not only a very able but a very pleasant book. It is
abundant in clear, clear-cut, strongly-drawn etchings, presenting so
pleasant and effective a transcript of manners, English and Conti-
nental, that its success cannot fail to be remarkable."—MorMng
Chronicle.

" Everything written by Currey Bell is remarkable. She can
touch nothing without leaving on it the stamp of originality. Of her
three novels this is perhaps the strangest, the most astonishing,
toough not the best. The sustained ability is perhaps greater in
Villette' than in its two predecessors. The whole three volumes
are crowded with beauties."—Daily News.
" A. fiction of extraordinary literary power, and of singular fascina-
tion; 4t is one of the most ab.orbing of books, one of the most in-
teresting of stories."— lobe.

POLICY OF THE MINISTRY.

The Earl of DERBY considered that it was necessary
and expedient for the minister of the day to make a
statement of the general principles of the Government.
The explanation of the noble Earl before the recess
had thrown very little light upon the principles of
the Administration ; but it was true that it was
more expedient that the country should judge of those
principles by the measures brought forward, rather than
by a vague general statement. It would be for the
public good if the noble lord would state the specific
measures which her Majesty's Government intended to
bring forward.
