contests within the verge of the law, meet in harmony
good humour on holiday occasions, and send and
up
one unanimous, heartfelt acclaim in honour of
the Sovereign of their hearts as she passes, at-
tended only by half-a-dozen guards for form's sake, not
protection. The military were nowhere to be seen ;
the police required a close and searching gaze to find them
out. This safety of the throne, this brotherly forbearance
of the people with one another, is due to no superior wisdom
inherent in our nation. When we look back on our consti-
tutional history, we find records of conflicts as fierce and
aimless as any that Prussia or Germany have lately passed
through. Out of these we have emerged; less by foreseeing
wisdom than by judicious acquiescence in the lessons of ex •
perience. Let the Royal Family of Prussia take the hint
They have it in their power to rear on the love and confi-
dence of the German people a throne as secure and pleasant
to occupy as that on which Queen Victoria is now seated.

M. LIBRI.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—As you have mentioned, some months ago, the sen-
tence by which M. Libri has been condemned ;in France to
ten years' imprisonment (in default of judgment) for having
stolen books from public libraries, M. Libri does not doubt
but your justice and equity will induce you to mention in
your valuable paper the curious and unexpected discovery
which has just been made in the Mazarine Library, where,
as it has been already stated by the Times of Saturday last,
the 26th ult., by the Athena um, and by the Daily News of
the same day, the books M. Libri was accused of having
stolen are still in their p one
may on the shelves of that library,
from which they have never been absent, and where any "
l
may go and see them, and verify the fact for him 11

justice and law. You will find the principal eweinstances of
it related in the paper enclosed.
I have the honour to be, Sir, &C., Dr, LIBRI.
