COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS BENEVOLENT INSTI-
TUTION —The half-yearly general meeting of the governors
of this society was held yesterday at the London Tavern,
Mr. Jenkin Jones in the chair. The secretary, Mr. Nash,
read the report, which stated that the board of management
feeling desirous of uniting the whole commercial body in
support of one institution had recently appointed a depu-
tation to confer with the committee of the Commercial Tra-
vellers' Society, with a view to bringing .boat a junction of
the two. At the interview which took place, however, it
was foand that the rules of the elder society were such as to
make it impossible for this in-titutiou to join it without sa-
crificing the main principle which it was established to up-
hold, namely, the granting of annuities not subject, under
any circumstances, to diminution. The directors, therefore,
had now only to urge upon the attention of commercial men
the claims of the charity, and while congratulating its friends
and supporters on the support which it had already received,
they expressed their earnest hope that a vigorous eff in
would be made in the course of the present year to increase
its efficiency, and place it on a basis of permanent prosperity.
The total receipts of the institution from its commencement
(including additional subscriptions received at this meeting,
amounting to 251. 45.) have been 5631. 133. Gd., and the
disbursements 1601. Bs. Gd., leaving a balance in its favour
of 4031. ss. The report was received and adopted; after
which some formal business was transacted, and the meeting
then separated.
CORONATION DAY.—This clay being the anniversary
of her Majesty's coronation, was observed in the usual
manner. The bells of the several churches rang a peal in the

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Presse has an article, signed by M. EMILE DE
GIRARDIN, on the subject of the revision, from which
we extract the following :
If so great a country as France could lower itself
so far as to accept for an instant the challenge of par-
ties, the most cruel trick that coul i be played the
Orieanist or Lfeitirnist ones would be to take them at
their word and say—' You wish tor the revision ; well,
then, there it is tor you 1 The uolortutates, what
could they do with it ? The very first qeeation brought
forward would divide them ; for what the Orleanist
Party desires, the Leg timist party rejects. The Legi-
iiinist party will not have either the preponderance of
the middle classes or equality of religious creels ; the
Otleanist party will not nave either the supremacy of
the nobility or the exclusion of creeds other
than the Catholic one,

13,tween the Legitimist
party and the Orleanist party there is a chasm
of ideas which sepneetes theta more eft..ctuelly
than France and England are kept apart by
the Channel. What precedesexplains
and whet could he say? If he asks for the total revision
of the Constitution, it is not,
he. declares, to reestablish
monarchy. Whet, then, is it for? Is it simply to agi-
tate the country? Nine votes against six have voted the

what is wanted, and tne various questions must be clearly
exposed in the tribune. So mach the better again!
Yesterday the confusion of the revisionist journals was
visible. Hold up your heads since you triumph! Bear
your victory with courage! D not allow yourselves to
be overwhelmed by it! Each of you resembles a fox
caught by a Cowl! What, then, would tt. be the, morrow
of the day on which three-iburtlii' 'Of ''''thse LegrAtatirta
Assembly would h see voted the total revision proptised
by M. de Broglie?" _ _

Toe whole of the sitting of the'Assembly on Thurs-

friv..ur of free trade.
