stated that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge had
kindly promised to take the chair at the society's dinner next
year.
Among the donations announced were—Her Ma-

Chairman (Mr. Cabbell), 214 ; Mr. M. Attwood, M.P ,
211. ; Mr. E. Brewster and ifriends, 624 10s. The total
number of children in the society's two establishments,
the Royal Asylum at Brixton and the town school, is
294. During the evening the children entered the room,
and the modest and ingenuous manner and appearance of
both sexes elicited the wannest commendations of the m
pany. Their healthy and intelligent looks they fortunately
share in common with the inmates of many of our well-con-
ducted public institutions ; but it was still-more gratifying to
observe that every youthful face bore the traces of those
in the kindly
gentler affections which are only cherishedi

CORN FROM AUSTRIA.—The

undoubtedly postponed all modification of the Cabinet until
after the session."
The Siècle has the following ferocious attack upon
M. GUIZOT

" There are men whose political conduct is nothing more
than a series of opportune defections. Always in the secrets
of fate, they can foresee events, prognosticate misfortune,
change their stations in good time, bend and accommo-
date themselves with wonderful suppleness and prompti-
tude to the rapid revolutions of Fortune's wheel. Like the
Roman Emperor who admitted into his pantheon the gods
of every mythology, so they have their altar for every wor-
ship, but reserve their devotions for the Divinity of the day.
These men were found at Ghent in 1815, intriguing among
the enemies' bivouacs, while France succumbed at Water-
loo. Brought back to Paris in an English or Prussian
baggage waggon, they have made use of the Restoration
while pretending to serve it, and exercised their pens in the
Lune!' de l'espri public, or in the conciliabules of royalist
reaction. Under this flag advancement was too tardy,
and their impatient ambition turned in another direction
with its arms. Their wounded but prescient pride sought
applauses on another stage. They became doughty cham-
pions of the Soci6te Aide- toi, le Ciel t'aidera. The Revo-
lution of 1830 raised them on its bucklers. On the day after
this popular triumph they induced the new dynasty to deny
its origin, and urged it on to the perilous path in which its
predecessors had lost themselves. A competition of servility
soon brought into action those subaltern pretensions which
dispute for the first place in the vestibule of Government.
The dismissed servant revolts. He resolves to renew the
assault in the adjoining ante-chamber. There may be seen
the excess of zeal with which he demands credit for his
tardy devotion to the national and constitutional policy.
This holy cause ennobles, in his eyes, every part he may
play. He accepts that of recruiting-sergeant of the coali-
tion, and collects a small platoon of Doctrinaires under the
standard of the great Parliamentary army. We find this
man of agi!ity at London in 1839 and 1840, conspiring
against the system which he bad sworn to make prevail,
and against the Ministry whose policy he was bound to re-
present. England rendered him justice. He spoke, but
she did not believe him. It is he himself who has told us
so. After he had thus expiated his faults, his repentance
received its reward. He enters into the Ministry, and, to
complete his abjuration, denies all the principles which he
had maintained in 1838 and 1839. He it was who under-
took to purify the temple which had for a moment been
profaned, and to replace on the altar the idol of royalty
which reigns and governs. We now find him, in 1847,
faithful to the practice of his whole life, abandoning the
vanquished, giving the finishing stroke to the wounded, be-
traying those whom fortune had deserted, and sacrificing his
accomplices to escape the chastisement due to his own faults."
The Chancellor and Committee charged to make
the preliminary investigations in the case of General
DESPANS CUEIERES, on Friday examined AL LE.
GRAND, Under Secretary of State to the Department
of Public Works, and N. PELLAPRAL, a very old
gentleman, who was formerly a receiver-general.
The distress continues to increase in all parts of
France. In Paris alone one-fourteenth part of the
population is absolutely pauper, and two-fifths of
the inhabitants have availed themselves of the advances
made by the authorities to ensure to all who claimed it
bread at not more then 16 sous the loaf. In the
provinces, where the Government has not made any
similar advances in aid of the starving population, the
most serious riots have taken place. At Cambrai on
Wednesday a black flag was paraded through the
streets, the multitude vociferating " Bread at 20 sous,
or death." Every quarter of the town was disturbed,
It was attempted to disperse the crowd by a display
of infantry and cavalry, but the military failed in
their efforts. At six o'clock in the evening a detach-
ment of 50 National Guards established a post in the
hall of the Consistory, and the firemen, having taking
arms, contributed to restore order.
At Lille, on the 13th, the bakers' shops were plun-
dered by a mob, and seditious cries were uttered,
among others, Vice La Republique! Vice Henri V.-
Vice noire Roi qui est en Angleterre (Louis NA-
roLEots)! There were also serious food riots at
Tournay on Wednesday. These riots were renewed
at Tournay and at Lille on Thursday, but tranquillity
was restored on Friday.
The Panama steamer has been ordered to proceed
to Marseilles and placed at the disposal of Queen
CHRISTINA. CHRISTINA goes to Naples, where she
will remain ten days. It is intended that she shall
on her voyage back to France remain a few days at
Leghorn with her sister, the Grand Duchess of
Tuscany.
Algiers papers of the 10th have been received. On
the 7th Marshal BUGEAUD left Algiers to take the
