With regard to the pending Telegraphs Bill, a
correspondent suggests a point affecting the pro-
posed monopoly clauses which requires attention.
Ihe owners of submarine cables must, it is con-
tended, have power to connect them with the
Government system of telegraphs unless the Post-
Master-General will undertake to make the con-
nexion. In all probability a large number of sub-
rnarine telegraphs will touch our shores, " and if
the Government had power to refuse to make the
connexion or to dictate terms, great injury to the
public might ensue."

general creditors ; the rest is owing principally
I"Y to the Preston Bank rnd the assignees of Mtssrs.

HI

711 E CHARGE OF PERJURY AGAINST

GI?EN VILLE 111 RIM Y.

The adjourned hearing of this case came on to
day before Mr. Knox at the Matlborough•stree
police-court.

The court was densely crowded on the commence
meat of the proceedings.

At half-past twelve Mr. Gill appeared on
behalf of Lord Carington, and applied for an
adjournment under the charge of common assault.

for which a true bill bad been found against his
lordship by the grand jury at the Middlesex sessions
had been decided upon. He stated at some length
that his view of the law was that the action for
libel ought to be postponed until the criminal case
had been dealt with.

Mr. Giffard, Q.C., opposed the application.
Mr. Knox said neither charge had been proved
against Lord Carington, and the charge of perjury
must proceed.

shall give the result in a later edition.]

PARIS CORRESPONDENCE.

WEDNESDAY.
The papers continue to cannonade fiercely at the shut-
ng of the Corps L6gislatif ; but the strife will not last
ong. It is excessively hot—a very serious bar to high
politics. The deputies themselves see that there is
nothing to be done, and they are accordingly leaving the
capital, so that the fire of French rage must soon die out
for m ant of fuel, though we must expect it to be
rekindled in earnest whin the session opens
again in October. The Moderate Liberals have held
their meeting, the result of which I notified yesterday.
They behaved with great forbearance, resolving not to
put forth any manifesto, but-, persisting in the policy
which gave birth to their demand for Ministerial responsi-
bility, to simply adjourn till Parliament meets again.
The Extreme Left, too, has had its meeting, but has de-
cided upon nothing. Discord reigned in the camp. Thiers had
one project, Pelletan another, Simon another, and Ferry
a fourth. Between these schemes the deputies remained
hopelessly at issue. M. Thiers wanted to lay a declara-
tion before the country, but his draft was rather of a mild
tone, artfully couched to draw over some of the Mode-
rates. The " irreconcileablea " would, therefore, have
nothing to do with it. These are beginning to be
called to account by the revolutionary electors of Earis,
Lyons, and Marseilles. They were sent to the Corps
L4gislatif to destroy the Empire, and so far they have not
made a step in that desirable direction.
The Liberal papers are not disposed to be satisfied with
anything just now, and, accordingly, they are complain.
ing of the appointment of M. Rouher to the Presidency
of the Senate. M. Rouher, argues the Temps, went out
of office in consequence of the Emperor's reforms. The
details of those reforms must be arranged by the Senate.
Is it likely that the newly-elected President will shew
himself very friendly to the programme of change which
deprived him of power?
M. Thiers seems to have fairly given up his Orleanist
proclivities, and to have finally joined the ranks of the
Extreme Left. No doubt he is still an Orleanist at heart,
no doubt there are many Orleanists and Legitimists at
heart, but they find the practical success of their
principles beyond hope, and they are accordingly
coalescing with other political sections. Thus
the complexity of French parties has been consider.
ably simplified since the last election. There are
now only three worth taking into account. There is the
Right, or the thick and thin supporters of the Empire; the
Left Centre, or Moderate Liberals, including the many
shades of politicians to be found amongst the 116 who
rigned the demand for Ministerial responsibility ; and the
Extreme Left, the hot and strong opponents of the
Empire. This is the smallest of the three, but it presents
by far the greatest array of talent. Thiers, Favre, and
i3ambetta have no rivals in oratory. Such are French
parties at present.
There is, however, a fourth party, but as it
embraces only one deputy, it need not be taken into much
account. M. Raspail is a party by himself. He will not
join the Left—they are so excessively mild ! He, there-
fore, carries on the war against despotism on his own
account. Every day since the Chamber has been pro-
rogued has be thought it his duty to protest against that
arbitrary act by visiting the empty benches. He sits for
about ten minutes, glares fiercely at the deserted chair of
the President, soliloquises a little, and then disappears.
M. Raspail is the oldest member of the House. If the
Emperor's Message 'come into effect, and the Chamber
elect its own President, he, as the " father," will be called
to the chair pro. tem.

the Empress is thinking of setting up a "retreat" for
workwomen. According to her Majesty's plan, poor
women of every calling are to pay a monthly sum to
the funds of the retreat. When they grow old they will be
permitted to enter the home, where they will enjoy every
moderate comfort, as well as perfect freedom. " The
Empress," says the Liberte, " is favourable to the English
system, which is averse to gratuitous benevolence, and
which goes on the principle of everyone reaping that which
he or she has sowed."

The Sunday Closing Movement has given the to rather
a curious action at the Tribunal of Commerce. The
assistants of the ready-made clothes shops in Paris
recently combined to obtain the closing of those

establishments on Sundays, and for that purpose
formed an association under the presidency of
M. Doucet, director of the journal Lc Commerce.
The majority of the masters acceded to the desire of their

young men, and notices were inserted in that journal, as
well as in the Pefnrme Francais, announcing that all the
firms in that trade had agreed to discontinue business
on Sundays. This statement was not, however,
wholly true. Some of the shops still remained open, and
the proprietor of one found his business seriously diminish
in consequence of the notice that all were to be shut.
An action was therefore brought to compel the_directors
of these two papers to suppress the announcement. Judg-
ment has been given to this effect, and the defendants,
moreover, are compelled to pay for the advertise/mot of
tho verdict,
