hearinthe case, it will naturally lead to other in-
quiries;'which, if we are not greatly mistaken-, will
elicit answers by no means favourable to the system.
What, we ask, could have induced such
a state of mind as to render a person desirous of
continuing the inmate of gaol for fourteen consecu-
tive years, when at a single word his fetters would
have been burst and the bolts ar.d bars stricken off
the gates of his prison-house ? No person in the en-
joyment of liberty would remain a voluntary
prisoner for so long a period. But TAYLOR
had been detained for three years previously.
During that time a total change had arisen in his
thoughts and feelings. He had become accustomed
to confinement and unfitted for an active out-door life
by the pernicious indolence engendered by a prison life.
He could no longer hope to earn a livelihood by his
own exertions. Better to continue to dwell in the
prison, where he had a shelter provided gratuitously,
where an income of 3s. fid. a week might be relied
on, and where he had, perhaps, a further source of
income by " letting lodgings," acting as keeper of
the racket-ground, or by a variety of ways and
means known to the inmates of "the Bench." In
fact, he clung to his cell and resisted eviction
as resolutely as an Irish peasant would an ejectment
from his scrap of potato ground, held at a rent three
times the amount of the actual value, and we should
not feel greatly surprised if, like an emancipated
canary bird, he again sought the cage which, how-
ever repugnant it might appear to those fitted for
freedom, was yet a place of refuge and shelter fur
the victim of imprisonment.

But why should a system be tolerated that pro-
duces such results.? There is an existing prejudice
in favour of the right of imprisonment
for debt at the mere will and pleasure of the creditor.
At the other side of the Atlantic it is thought a
gross invasion of the liberty of the subject if he is not
permitted to wallop his own nigger, and here there
would probably be an equal outcry at any interfe-
rence with the privilege of the creditor of " impri-
soning his own debtor, if he thought proper." He
may be certain that the debtor cannot pay, that it is
poverty and not his will prevents him; and
yet, though a kind hearted man in othe
respects, he will incur heavy expenses in order to
have the satisfaction of locking him up, and there de-
taining him until be is discharged in due course.
This may not be so very easy as it is supposed. We
believe that there are many men detained simply be-
cause they are too poor to be insolvents!!—because
they have not funds sufficient to meet the expenses
of passing through the court. The system must be
changed—the public mind must be brought into a
healthier tone. We have but little doubt that
such will be the case in some few years, and that
the present practice of imprisonment without a
special order of a judge will be regarded with as
great horror as that of retaining property in the
flesh and blood of our fellow-creatures is at present
regarded ; and perhaps that time may be expedited by
the fortunate temptation to which Mr. TAYLOR
yielded on the, evening of his emancipation from his
incarceration of seventeen years' duration.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Ministerial crisis still continues. The Patnie
says—
" Nothing is as yet decided; propositions have been
made by the President of the Republic to several poli-
tical personages, but tho difficulties which stand in the
way of composing a Ministry which shall be sure of a
majority in the Assembly have hitherto prevented these
propositions from being brought to bear practically.
The negotiations still continue."
The same journal states that the Club of the Rue
des Pyramides had determined to support the PRESI
DENT of the Republic.
Among other rumours current it was stated that
MM. BAROCHE and FOULD would retain their port-
folios.
We find the following in the Constitutionnel on the
subject of the Ministerial crisis :
" Tho Journal des bibats asks itself, why the Minis-
try should have considered it its duty to resign because
the Chamber refused to postpone the interpellations of
M. Napoleon Bonaparte ? It pretends that such a
severe resolution on a question of so little importance
has caused a general movement of surprise, in which
it unites. We will reply to the Delbats what we slid
yesterday. The refusal of the postponement was not
the cause, but the occasion of the resignation. The
Cabinet was, in fact, after the sitting of Friday, to
use the expression of the Debats, what it was a month
since. That is precisely why it retires, and those
who are to-day astonished at seeing it adopt that mea-
sure, would feel more surprise, in a few days hence, if
they had not done so. The Ministry, in fact, as certain
journals say, should have retired sooner. The reason
why they did not do so was, that we were at a period of
the year when commerce had acquired extraordinary
activity—when business transactions were in course of
settlement, and when calm and confidence were more
than ever indispensable. We may add that it was on
the eve of contracting a loan. Would it have been
preferred that the Ministry, in order to withdraw itself
from the systematic attacks of which it was the object,
should have compromised so many public and private in-
terests ? The Ministry must not, therefore, be re-
proached with its precipitate retirement. It should, on
the contrary, be praised for having delayed it, in order
not to check the great movement of business and the
negotiations for another loan."

We read in the Pays:—" According to the ru-
mours in circulation yesterday, nothing has been yet
decided for the formation of a Ministry. The follow-
ing list appears to have the greatest chance of suc-
cesss :—MM. I,C:on Faucher, Interior ; de Flavigny,
Foreign Affairs; General Magnan, War; Palmy,
Public Works; Fortoul, Public Instruction; Michel
Chevalier, Commerce ; Fould, Finance ; Baroche,
Justice; A. Daru, Marine. According to another
version, M. Abbuttucci is to be appointed to Foreign
Affairs, M. 0. Barrot to Justice, and M. de Germiny
to Finance."

The _Mats says :—" From information which we
have received, we believe we can state that. M. 0.
BARROT, being sent for yesterday to the Elysee, made
his appearance there in the evening. The conversa-
tion between the PRESIDENT and that representative
turned solely on the general features of the situation.
No offer of a portfolio has been positively made to M.
ODILON BARROT."

It was reported that Count MOLE had been sent for
by the PRESIDENT.
___

The Assembly met yesterday, but none of the
Ministers were present.
The following, is one of the many lists of the pro-
posed Ministry handed about in political circles :
Foreign Affairs—The Duke of Bassano.
Interior—M. Leon de Malleville.
Finance—M. Bale.
War—General Carrelet.
Marine—Admiral Leblanc.
Public Instruction—M. Fourtoul.
Commerce—M. Greterin.
Prefecture of Police —M. St. George.
Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Paris—
General Magnan, vice General Changarnier.
The Journal des Debats publishes the following as
the " Instructions to the troops in case of combat,"
issued by General CLIANGAUNIER, and which the
General was prepared to read from the tribune :
" Paris, May 4, 1850.
" In case of insurrection, the troops will not take up
arms or be put in movement except to engage in
combat.

" If the troops have not received orders before hand,
such of each corps as may be disposable will be imme-
diately assembled, and will march to the place of combat,
leaving behind the number of officers and sub-officers
necessary to bring up the absent as they may come in.

" One or sev;raf detachments shill afterwards be
formed, which shall be directed on their respective posi-
tions, in good order, and with all the precautions which
circumstances may require.
" At the moment wnen they shall arrive at their posi-
tions, the troops will be reminded that no one must
leave the ranks; that the law punishes with death any
soldier who, during action, absents himself out of con-
sideration for his personal safety, and that severe
punishment also hangs over those who commit acts of
pillage.

"The corps will go to their posts in military order,
without drums or band; they will be preceded by an ad-
vanced guard, and followed by a rear guard; they will
not allow any person to walk on their flanks, and still
less to penetrate into their columns.
" The corps or detachments will march very rapidly
and without paying any attention to musket shots
which may be fired at them. When at their post, and
have leisure to attend to them, they may send small
detachments, energetically commanded, who, when
they shall have executed prompt and severe justice
on the wretches who shall have dared to fire on the
troops, will return at double quick time. The troops,
when arrived at their positions, will not permit any
one to approach them; a line of sentinels will keep at
the distance of at least 150 yards, not only agitators,
but those attracted by curiosity; they will not allow any
groups to form, however inoffensive they may apparently
be; any attempt to break the line of the troops is to be
opposed by force. Posts will be established in the neigh-
bouring houses situated at the corners of the streets, and
direction
t dis-
tance
of important points of commufpraorm.tiecation.

" The troops being in position, or even engaged, fre-
quent beats of the drum are to be made, and the greatest
attention is to be paid to prevent any man from leaving
particularly
h aonwd
his ranks to enter a wine shop.
" From their respective positions the troops must en-
deavour to place themselves in communication with
the detachments stationed near them. This is to be 1

effected by means of strong patrolF, marching rapidly,
and without allowing any obstacle to be formed on
their way.
" In case barricades are raised, a distinction must
be made bc,tween two hypotheses; if the first barricade
to be taken does not present any great solidity, a small
number of men dashing rapidly forward would probably
be able to become masters of it, as insurgents in general
do not defend any obstacles but those which completely
shelter them; it would be necessary to take the precau-
tion of showing in the neighbourhood detachments of
troops echelloned at short distances. The fall of the
first barricade will be soon followed by the abandonment
of the others erected behind.

" on the contrary, the barricade is solid, and of
such a nature as to reader any attack on it difficult and
sanguinary, the course to be adopted is resolutely, and
without paying any attention to the complaints of the
inhabitants, or to the injury that may be caused to their
property, to enter the houses running along the line of
the barricade, to ascend into the garrets, and proceed
along, making a passage through the walls, which are
of no great solidity at that height, until a point be
arrived at from which the rear of the barricade may be
comm,inded. There is no fear that the barricade can
hold out long after that period.
"The most active men can easily, by proceeding
along the roofs, arrive at positions from which they can
take the insurgents in the rear; and this means ought
to be adopted each time that it is practicable.
"It will often occur that the barricades can be com-
manded either on the flank or the sear. These move-
ments, executed with judgment, will frequently put an
end to a disturbance previously deemed formidable, and
they ought to be attempted in all cases where the nature
of the spot will permit of their being effected.
" The General-in-Chief has no doubt that when once
the struggle has commenced, the generals and heads of
c)rps will know how to justify the entire confidence
VI hich he puts in them ; and that, assured in advance of
his complete approbation of the most energetic measures
that they can deem it advisable to take, they will be
prepared to meet every eventuality, and assume the
offensive in as vigorous a manner as possible without
waiting for orders from him, and which it might not be
at all times easy to succeed in placing in their heeds.
(Signed) " CHANGARNIER, General-in Chief."
The Patric still declares that the instruction
which it published is authentic, that it is not contra-
dictory to but goes further than the one published by
the Debats, and that it is officially communicated to
every officer of every regiment whenever it is ordered
to form part of the garrison of Paris, and that it was
by an officer of the garrison that it was coinniuni-
::ated to the Putrie.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

_ - -
Cape of Good Hope journals, to the 18th Novem-
ber inclusive, have reached us. Tranquillity pre-
vailed on the frontier, and the Kafirs exhibited the
apparent disposition to live in peace under the mild
government of Sir 11. Smith; but many persons en-
tertained the notion that as soon as his Excellency
should have returned home some attempts would be
made to effect an outbreak. A proclamation had been
issued by command of Sir 11. Smith, stating that the
Chief Sandilli having failed to appear at the late
meeting, or to account satisfactorily for his absence ;
" now be it known that I hereby depose the said
Sandilli from his rank as a Chief, and that I appoint
Charles Brownlee, Esq., Commissioner for the Gaika
trihe, to assume the direct control of Sandilli's tribes
(whose loyalty I have no reason to doubt), under the
instructions of the Chief Commissioner of British
Kafrarie, Colonel Mackinnon."

By a notice dated King William's Town, Nov. 6,
1850. and published by command of his Excellency
the Governor, it appears that a number of Gaika
Chiefs met his Excellency on the previous day awl
acknowledged that Sandilli had deserved his punish-
ment—they would not even attempt to justify him ;
and Sutu, the mother of Sandilli, who was also pre-
sent, said " he was not fit to be any longer a chief."
Superintendent Davies, of the Kafir police, re-
ported that he had succeeded in apprehending a Kafir
named Umtyopo, who had for some time past busied
himself in spreading reports of an impending war
amongst the farmers in the neighbourhood of Fort
Beaufort. When sufficient evidence should have been
obtained to make out a case against this man his Ex-
cellency would deal with him in such a manner as to
prevent his again perpetrating mischief, and as would
serve as a warning to others.

His Excellency—had called upon the inhabitants of
the frontier towns voluntarily to form themselves
into some sort of a militia, for their defence, as in
the event of a Kafir invasion he would take all the
troop with him into Kafirland.

The Hon. W. Menzies, the first Puisine Judge,
died on the Ist November, and was buried on the
4th. Reports stated that Mr. Bowley, the Registrar
of the Supreme Court, would succeed to the vacant
seat on the bench.

The first number of a new paper was published
on the Bth of November, called the Cape Monitor,
and is intended to support the Government interests
in opposition to the Radical party, headed by Mr.
Fairbairn and his political friends.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert has most
kindly yielded to the solicitation's of the managers of the
Windsor and Eton Savings Bank, and has accepted the
honourary office of president of this institution, in succession
to the late Duke of Cambridge.
