of such a hostile character that the EMPEROR was
compelled to make most important changes, both per-
sonal and constitutional. Some of the. old Ministers
were dismissed, notably M. ROIIIIER, who was
" kicked up stairs ;" and sundry reforms were pro-
mised. The sanctioning of these rested with the
Senate, and for some weeks that body has
sat in consultation. The Corps L4gislatif
was at the same time prorogued, although
more than fifty elections remained unverified.
The prorogation was announced to be till October
25th. But for some time past it has been known
that the reassembling would be put off still longer,
and great anxiety was felt as to the date. That day
is now announced, and the Chamber is to remain un-
convoked for another five weeks. The result of this
announcement is great indignation and agitation.
Why this delay ? it is asked. Even the Government
organs are uneasy, and are fain to hide their uneasi-
ness by saying that the EMPEROR wishes to present
to the Chamber the whole of the new measures which
he means to introduce, and that he requires time to
prepare them. They add that the EMPRESS will
not have returned from the East before then, and that
the EMPEROR promised on that account to postpone
the meeting. The Opposition journals judge the
situation much more unfavourably. They look upon
this delay as an indication of sinister and
reactionary movements. They prophesy all
kinds of mischief should MM. RASPAIL and
KERATRY, two violent deputies, carry out their
threat of presenting themselves at the Palais Bourbon
on the 25th instant, and demand admission. Moderate
journals consider the position as grave. They may
well do so when M. GAMBETTA, one of the ablest and
the most eloquent of the new deputies, and by no means
an extreme man, calls upon his colleagues to adopt
MM. RASPAIL and KEBATRY'S suggestion. In fact,
there is suspicion on all hands. This being so,
it seems the height of unwisdom for NAPOLEON
to have procrastinated. If he is unjustly
suspected of designs against the ' Constitution
that is all the more reason why he should have dis-
pelled all alarms by allowing the Chamber to meet
on the day appointed originally. If he is justly sus-
pected, then there is trouble in store for all parties,
and he would be a bold prophet who should venture
to predict the end thereof.

NOTWITHSTANDING the annual sarcasms of the
Saturday Review, the Sociologists go on and prosper
Every year sees fresh men of note added to their
ranks, fresh objects of importance added to their pro-
gramme. Our superfine contemporary may think
that " Prussian Manoeuvres," " Trees," and the
"Munich International Exhibition" are more weighty
and more interesting than education, the condition of
the agricultural labourer, and the suppression of con-
tagious disease ; but the world does not think so. It
is part of the Saturday's religion to sneer at the
Social Science Congresses, just as it is to make fun of
Dr. CUMMING, Mr. TUPPER, and King COLE, C.B.
The latter objects of ridicule are, perhaps, worthy of
all that they get ; but let the Saturday be never so
funny, the Sociologists continue their work, and are
constantly receiving accessions to the ranks of their
fellow-labourers. The truth is—and it is strange that
our usually keen-sighted contemporary does not
see it—Sociology is the politics of the future. We
have brought the legislative machine to nearly as
great perfection as we are likely to bring it. We
have done with Reform Bills for many a long year.
The Reform League is dissolved because it has got
no work to do. The newly-constituted Parliament
has now to discuss the very topics which the
Sociologists have been discussing for the past
dozen years. Each year, therefore, we may expect
to see the Social Science Association increasing
in influence and numbers. Even now its proceedings
are thought worthy of fuller reports than those of
the far older British Association. In fact, were it
not that the second named society has lately taken
to trenching up-on the ground which properly belongs
to the first, its late sittings would have been but very
briefly noticed by the press.
Mr. CAVE'S contribution to the presidential addresses
of the year will scarcely compare with those delivered
by his fellow-Presidents. It was very discursive, and
not very original. But it is satisfactory to find a
Conservative ex-President of the Board of
Trade exposing the fallacies of the Protectionists.
It is less satisfactory to find that these fallacies are
put forward by the working classes. The truth is
that the position has now become completely reversed.
Whereas twenty-five years ago it was the landed
interest which clung to Protection and the
working class which clamoured for Free Trade, it
is now the first which is upholding Free Trade
against the " Revival " doctrines of the second.
Tory squires are the vindicators of Messrs. COBDEN
and BRIGHT against the spinners of Manchester, Mac-
clesfield, and Coventry. "Free Trade," says Mr. CAVE,
"is the normal condition of mankind," a state-
ment that, coming from such a quarter, would have
astonished his fellow-sqmres less than twenty years
it to hear from Con-
servativea go. E qualillpys satisfactoryan

squires have hitherto
been too apt to think only of the increased cost which
graladtiiostnricts.
higher wages will involve to them, and not at all of the
increased comfort which the increase will confer
upon the labourers. Mr. CAVE will not allow such
selfish considerations to weigh. Probably he believes,
as he has good ground for believing, that increased
wages do not mean a heavier charge for labour.
Anyhow, lie is not prepared to condemn Western
labourers to Os. a week in perpetuity when they might
get double that wage in the North. It is now for
the Western counties to determine if they will allow
themselves to fall into decay. Their population
is diminishing, nor can they hope to main-
tain it unless they open new sources of indus-
try. We see no reason why this should not
be done. We see no reason why Plymouth and
Exeter, for instal-ice, should not become centres for the
manufacture of agricultural machinery. Coals can be
brought to both towns at a comparatively low rate,
and the industry we have mentioned would probably
be as remunerative in Devonshire as it is on the
barren and thinly-populated sea coast of Suffolk.

22d July last, by which I formally ordered you
in future not to print any letter or speech, to
speak is public elsewhere than in the churches, to
be present in the Chambers, or to take part in the
Ligue de la Paix, or any other meetings, the object
of which was not exclusively Catholic and reli-
gious. My prohibition, as you see, did not in
the least refer to your sermons in the pulpit. On
the contrary, I desired you in future to devote
solely and entirely your talents and your eloquence
to teachings in the Church. Consequently, it was
with painful surprise that I read in your letter that
You could not re-ascend the pulpit at Notre
Dame, with language perverted by dictation or
mutilated by reticence.' You must be aware that
I have never forbidden you to preach, that I have
never given you any order or imposed any restric-
tion on your teachings. I only took the liberty of
giving to you some counsels, and of addressing to
you some observations, especially on the subject of
your last lectures, as in my quality of Superior it
was my right and my duty to do. You were, con-
sequently, as free to continue your preachings at
Paris or elsewhere, as in preceding years, before
my letter of July 22d last ; and if you have resolved
not to reappear in the pulpit of Notre Dame de Paris
is voluntary and of your own free will, and not by
virtue of measures adopted by me towards you. Your
letter of the 20th announces to me that you are
about to leave your monastery in Paris. I learn,
indeed, by the journals and by private letters, that
you have already left it, and have cast off your
gown without any ecclesiastical authorisation. If
the fact is unfortunately true, I would remark to
you, my reverend father, that you must be aware
that the monk who quits his monastery and the dress
of his order without the regular permission from
the competent authority, is considered as a real
apostate, and is consequently liable to the canonical
penalties mentioned in Cap. Periculoso. The pun-
ishment is, as you are aware, the greater excom-
munication ; late sententix ; and according to our
rules, confirmed by the Holy See, part iii., chap.
xxxv., No. 12, those who leave the community
without authorisation incur the greater excommu-
nication, ipso facto, and the note of infamy. Qui
a congregatione recedunt, prwter a potasiam, ipso
facto excommunicationem et infamite notam incur-
runt.' As your superior, in accordance with the
prescriptions of the apostolic decrees, which order
me to employ even censure to bring you back to
the bosom of the order you have so deplorably aban-
doned, I am under the necessity of calling on you
to return to the monastery in Paris which you have
quitted within ten days from the date of the pre-
sent letter, observing to you that if you do not
obey this order within the time stated you will be
deprived canonically of all the charges you hold in
the Order of Barefooted Carmelite Monks, and will
remain under the censure established by the com-
mon law and by our rules. May you, my reverend
father, listen to our voice and to the cry of your
conscience ; may you promptly and seriously de-
scend within yourself, see the depth of your fall,
and by a heroic resolution manfully recover your-
self, repair the great scandal you have caused, and
.by that means console the Church, your mother,
you have just so much afflicted."
