',ARTS CORRESPONDENCE.

MONDAY.

The great day has come. The Senate has met, and the
precise draft of the changes brought about by the verdict
of the country is now before France and Europe. As
you will have learned the details ere this, I shall
not particularise them, but merely observe that the
first general impression here is cne of satisfaction.
No sooner was the reading of the Scnatus Consultum
finished than M. Rouher rose and addressed the senators
at some length, his subject, of course, being those very
reforms to which he was suspected of not being too
favourable. Ire began by warning his hearers that
the task before them was one of much difficulty ;
but that political science consisted in adopting
necessary changes EC) soon as public opinion perceived their
advantages. No sovereign had been more faithful to this
line of policy than the Emperor, who, invested by the
people with immense power, had always regarded
that power as the property of the nation. The gradual
transformation of the Despotic Empire into the Liberal
Empire was one of the most striking occurrences of the
epoch. No doubt some looked back with regret while
others looked forward with impatience, but both were
alike unjust. To allow France to remain stationary
while Liberal principles had spread over all Europe
would be not only to overlook the necessary preservation
of her influence, but to weaken the ties between the
Napoleonic dynasty and the French nation. But to
slide carelessly along a path which leads to a known
abyss would be to forget that the Government
owed to the people absolute security. In the
words of an august speaker; the Empire is sufficiently
popular to identify with liberty, and sufficiently strong to
preserve liberty from anarchy. No good citizen would
wish to alter this, for experience had shewn that a revo-
lution was only a miserable obstacle to progress and
civilisation. If the reforms proposed attained the desired
end, a truer harmony and a more fruitful solidity would be
established between the powers of the nation, and the
imperial institutions would acquire more strength, more
splendour, and more popularity.
No fewer than a hundred senators arrived in Paris
yesterday. M. Reuher sent a communication to each
senator, requesting his attendance at th• sittings of the
Chamber, wLere moat important questions would have to
be discussed.

Several amendments to the Senatus Consultum will be
proposed. Those which precede the debate will be sent
back by the President to the committee, who will give
their opinion in a supplementary report. Those which
are introduced during the debate will not be taken into
consideration unless they are signed by six senators.
The Constitutional reforms are the pervading topic.
The Constitutionnel attacks the Left, and complains that
they have no definite political programme. The Extreme
Right wishes to maintain the Constitution of '52 ; the
Middle Left desires a Liberal empire, but it is impossible
to guess what are the wishes of the Extreme Left, or what
institutions they would give to France. M. Gambetta
would give all power to the people, but the people must
delegate it to some one. The future must have its men
and its ideas. We know the men of the Left, but where
are the ideas?

At the assizes at Vaucluse, a woman, named Eydoux,
has been sentenced to bard labour for life for the murder
of an infant which bad Leen entrusted to her to nurse.

The Havre journals report the suicide of M. Despond,
the f-3•ndic of bankrupts in that town, who had been sum-
pendcd from his functions for alleged irregularities. One
of his clients bad brought an action against him,
and M. Despond blew out his brains on the day before
the conclusion of the

An extraordinary story is told in the Quartier St.
Vonore. A child, G . years obl, a pupil at a public
school, was a fortnight ago violently beaten by
a member of a scholastic fraternity who taught there.
The boy has since lost his senses. Information was given
to the police, Lut the friar took refuge in a nunnery at St.
Sulpice, and the authorities are making every effort to
compromise the matter. There is great excitement in the
neighbourhood, and the inhabitants are loud in their
demand for the punishment of the offender.

The funeral of the eleven victims of the coalmine
accident at Dourly took place yesterday, and it was witnessed
by an immense crowd of all classes of society. The
authorities were present at the sad ceremony. It is be-
lieved that the mining company will contribute largely to
the support of the families who have been visited with
such heavy trouble.
A Naples journal records a terrible event that has just
taken place at Trani. During the celebration of a
religious festival in the cathedral, an ornament of wood
had been erected, which was covered with gauze and
lighted with tapers. By some accident the drapery caught
fire, and the flames spread rapidly. At last a cry was
raised that the roof was falling in, and a fearful rush took
place, many persona being thrown down and trampled
on. Sixteen dead bodies were found on the ground
afterwards, and a great number of persons were seriously
injured.

A violent storm broke over the town of Luxemburg
a few evenings ago, and destroyed trees and
crops, and struck to the ground the large work-
shops that were established for the repair of rail-
way engines. Fortunately, only three of the men
engaged there at the time were much hurt. Ten of the
engines have been rendered unfit for service. As the
hurricane continued its devastating course, the ground
was strewed with poplars and telegraphic posts.
