system, have more than compensated for the
loss, but the contingent regulations to which
we have adverted turned the tables, and
compelled the parties, through a due attention to their
own pecuniary interests, to furnish an inferior article
to the community, except in rare cases, where a
eonsiderable addition to the price was submitted to
by the purchaser.
The Noble Lord the Member for Kildare brought
forward the well-founded complaints of these parties
last year, and although he was resisted to the
uttermost by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and
his colleagues, he left Ministers on two occasions in a
minority, and was ultimately only defeated in
Committee by a majority of one ! The subject was
again brought forward this session. Sir CHARLES
WOOD, untaught by experience, persevered in his
opposition, but the result was very different. One
stage of the measure was carried by the casting vote
of the SPEAKER, who, according to custom, voted
for going into Committee.
(Even this significant hint was disregarded. At a late
hour last night the House went into Committee on
the Bill, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
having moved that the Chairman should leave the
chair, in which he was supported by the whole
strength of the Government, the Ministers were
left in a minority of 17.

office of the Theatre. Doors opened at Seven, the Opera to com-
mence at Half-past Seven o'clock.

The resolutions were then agreed to, the Right
Honourable Baronet announcing that he would not
offer any further opposition on that occasion, but that
" it was his intention to take the sense of the House at
every future stage of its progress." Now this
is really too bad. There could not be
a clearer or more palpable evidence afforded
of the contemptuous disregard for the expressed
wishes of the House for which the Right Honour-
able Gentleman has already acquired so unfor-
tunate a notoriety. Five times he has been de-
feated, and once •he has succeeded by an
almost infinitesimal majority ; but still he
blunders on, making enemies for himself and the
Cabinet of which be is a member, exciting the pub-
lic disgust and indignation, and affording an addi-
tional illustration of the truth of the maxim of the
Swedish Chancellor, as to the small amount of
wisdom applied to the administration of the affairs of
4
mighty nations.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 7, 1851.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Dijon speech still continues to be the subject
of comment in all of them.
The Opinion Publi9ne declares that the Le),.
tists should cease to afford any support to the PRESI.
DENT from the moment he ceases to regard his posi-
tion as one of a temporary and provisional character.
It then proceeds to accuse the PRESIDENT of Socialist
designs.
The Ordre says :
"Either M. Louis Bonaparte has not weighed the
effect of his words, and has acted with levity by having
unconsciously, and perhaps unwillingly, associated him-
self with the irreconcileable enemies of Government, or
such consideration occurring to his mind has not suf-
ficed to stop him. We must accordingly conclude, that
from this moment he has resolved within himself to
place his unconstitutional candidature in face of the as-
sembly, in face of those parties whom he has denounced
as seeking, under forms, more or less disguised, to re-
store the old regime, leaning for support all the time
upon the Bonapartist and Socialist masses. The result
of such policy, if persevered in, and supposing it to pre-
vail, would be to crush the moderate party the double
action of a President Illegally re-elected; but who pre-
sents himself as the defender of the interests of the
people, and of a Red or Socialist assembly. We again
call on the members of the majority, N,ho yet feel dis-
posed towards Bonepartist solution,' not to lose sight
of such a prospect as this. We abjure those who by
their eoucert and union have saved France from disasters
to lay aside the pre-occupations which divide them,
to leave to the future what the future alone can solve,
and in the name of the permanent interests of society to
unite in a common effort to make the law be respected,
for the law is the last stronghold of those sacred interests
as well as of internal peace."
The Assemblie National declares that after the Dijon
speech the prolongation of the powers of the PRESI-
DENT has become impossible, and hints that the As-
sembly is prepared to resist by force all attempts at a
coup d'etat on the part of the Bonapartitts. It is con-
sidered probable that the majority of the Assembly
will refuse to entertain the question by the revision
of the Constitution. At least eighty members who
were prepared to vote for the revision have announced
their determination to vote against it in consequence
of the Dijon speech.
The following were yesterday named members of
the Committee to which the petitions for revision are
to be referred: —Montalemberf, Moulin, Dufour,
Favre, Mornay, Tacqueville, Berryer, Corcelles,
Broglie, Charres, Melun, Cavaignac, Barrot, Chara-
moule.
The proposition of M. LARABIT on the subject of
the revision was yesterday distributed to the Assem-
bly, accompanied by the following developments :
"Thus the question of revision may be immediately
terminated in this Assembly in such a manner as to
avoid irritating discussions; thus the revision of article
45 will be made or refused by the free and direct will of
the French people on the most simple of simple questions
—the election of the man and the name which best suits
it; thus will be avoided as much as possible the perils
and the obscurities of the future; thus will be avoided
the agitations of the successive elections of a consti-
tuent Assembly of revision, and, after three years, of
another Legislative Assembly; thus, by a proclamation
giving to the French people its right of free election,
and which may be voted by a simple majority, and the
difficulty of a majority of three-fourths in the present
Assembly will be avoided. This proclamation, more-
over, is only here proposed to dissipate doubts and tran-
quilise uneasy minds; but even should it not be voted,
there will be nothing to prevent the French people, in
virtue of its sovereignty, to resume its right of free
election on the second Sunday of May, 1852, as on the
10th Dec., 1848."

SP,AIN.
Madrid journals of the Ist have arrived.
The Ileraldo states that the Duke DE RIVAS has
resigned the post of Vice-President of the Senate, to
which he was nominated by royal decree on the 27th
ult. The same journal complains that at a meeting
of the shareholders of the Bank of San Fernando,
held on the previous day, the report was put to the
vote, and approved before the shareholders had time
to present any observations. The Epoca states that
M. BusTILLos, the Minister of Marine, has been ap-
pointed Commander•in-Chief of the station of the
Havannah, and was to leave Madrid in a few days for
Cadiz. Until the arrival of his successor as Minister
of Marine, General ARMERO, the portfolio will be
held by M. DORAL.
The Bolsa was closed on the Ist.

A letter from Frankfort, dated the 3d, says--
"Lord COWLEY and the Marquis DE TALLENAT have

The National Gazette of Berlin, of the Bd, states
that during the stay of the Emperor of AUSTRIA. at
Olmutz, he received a memorial from the leaders of
the Conservative party in Hungary, in which he is
entreated to abolish the new constitution and re•es
tablish the institutions on their former footing.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
The Court was ellgag(l the whole of the morning
with the cases in the Crown paper.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
DUNKLEY V. FERRIS.
The Master reported in this case that be had insti-
tuted the strictest inquiry into the circumstances con-
nected with the issuing of the writ, and be believed it
bad been fraudulently issued by the clerk of Mr. Lewis.
the attorney, wholly without the knowledge or conhi-
mica of his employer. This clerk had since absconded.
and there was reason to believe that he had left the
country.

Mr. Sergeant BYLES said he could not, after the state'
ment of the Master, resist the rule being made absolute
for setting aside the writ and all subsequent proceedings,
but he submitted that as no blame attached to the
at-
torney, the fraud having been committed solely by his
clerk, ho ought not to be made liable for all the costs
which had been incurred. If a merchant's clerk com-
mitted a forgery, it could not be said the master was
either civilly or criminally responsible for what be did.
The COURT considered that the master must be raa"-
responsible in the present case, for the dishonesty of the
clerk whom he had employed. The writ was served by
the direction and authority of Mr. Lewis, who no doubt
supposed it to be all correct, and the parties who re'
ceived it entertained in the first instance the same opi-
nion, but subsequently finding that it was irregular, they
obtained a rule to set aside the proceedings. Therefore,
however unjust it might be, the attorney must be held
responsible for the fraudent course which bad been
pursued. The case might be a very hard one, but itwai
one of the misfortunes of a master having a dishonest
person in his employ.
The rule was accordingly made absolute.
After hearing one or two unimportant motions their
Lordships adjourned at half-past eleven o'clock, there
being no other business before the Court.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
The cases argued in this Court during the morning
possessed no feature of general interest.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice Wrcianzeri)
Three rules were granted against as many attorneys
of the court for withholding money from their former
clients.
Mr. IlonaEs obtained a rule on behalf of certain hind"
holders, calling upon the Coventry, Birmingham, Nun-
eaton
and Leicester Railway Company, to show cause woY
they should not proceed at once to make their railway a
line of some sixteen miles in length. The compulsory_
powers for the purchase of the land expire at the end of
July, but the time for making the line, under the Act,
has two years to run yet.
