the Chancellor of the Exchequer before he entered '
the House of Commons, having supported him when
he unsuccessfully contested the borough of Taun-
ton some thirty years ago. The Earl of DERBY, in
expressing the gratification with which he had re-
ceived the resolutions, said that for his part he
had never doubted that the opinions of the working
classes had been misrepresented. " Gentlemen," said
Lord DERBY, " I hope by this time you have learned
that the greatest talkers are not the greatest doers."
There was, he hoped, a feeling arising in the public
mind that those who aspired to lead the country
should be judged by their practical working rather
than by their loud speaking, and it will be well for
the country should this prove to be the case. It is
always easier and. pleasanter to speak than to act
where the act involves change and risk and reform
and really some of our legislators have been so elo-
quent on popular grievances, and so profuse in their
professions of patriotism and integrity, that they
have persuaded themselves and their hearers that
they have accomplished a great deal towards setting
the disjointed world to rights.
Lord DERBY, in referring to the antagonism be-
tween classes, on which the Radical speakers are
so proud of dwelling, declared that he did not
believe in the total want of sympathy between
the aristocracy and the working classes. In his
own county he said they were as closely connected
as any other classes of the community ; and for
his part he believed there was as much respect
for education, for property, and for social
position among the humblest working classes
as there was among that great middle class
which has of late years almost monopolised political
power. "We are not," said Lord DERBY, " afraid
of the working classes as a body ;" and he referred
to the qualifications of the new Reform Bill as evi-
dence of their confidence in working men, and as
proof that they did not think a man's fitness for
the exercise of political privileges was to be mea-
sured by the amount of his rent. An appeal to
the country, said his lordship, after a vigorous pro-
test against the conduct of those who endeavour
to foster class animosities, will be necessary at no
distant period, owing to the great changes being
effected in the representative system, and when
that period arrived the Government would have
their claim to popular support rather on what they
had actually done than on promises for the future.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, whose speech
was necessarily brief, said it was highly important
the working men of this country should be
preparing themselves for the adequate discharge
of the public duties they. were about to
be called upon to fulfil. The policy of Lord
DEBBY was, he reminded them, only a restoration
of the ancient order of things, and for his part he
had no fear of the result, believing that much of the
alarm expressed at the impending change was more
affected than real. " I know," said the right hon.
gentleman, " that the people of England are a peo-
ple devoted to order, and not insensible to grati-
,ude, that they are proud of the traditions of

their ancient and famous country, and from
men animated by such feelings nothing
but the best results can be obtained." It is on the
stability and patriotism of the people that our
legislators can safely rely. It is, in fact, those
qualities which have enabled them to bear with
patience and dignity the long withholding of their
political privileges.

Majesty turned deadly pale, and it was feared for a
moment that she would faint, but abundant tears
calmed the alarm and excitement, and her courage
did not fail her.

It is not true that the assassin came recently
from Brussels. He has lived in Paris for more
than two years. He worked at the establishment
of Messrs. Gouin from the Ist of February to the

11th of April, 1866, and after having worked at
other shops, he returned to Messrs. Gouin on the
13th of August, 1866, where he earned five francs a
day. lle remained there till the 30th of April last,
and has not been at work since that time.

During the investigation at the Prefecture he
protested against the idea of killing the Emperor
Napoleon. He said he felt nothing but deep grati-
tude to France for the hospitality lie had received.
his intention was to murder the Czar, and he
avowed that he had meditated the crime for several
days. llis intention was to commit the crime in
the evening, when the Emperor went to the Opera,
but although he watched on that occasion he could
not find a good opportunity. He is only 20. llis
complexion is fair, and he is of middle height and
strong constitution. He speaks French very cor-
rectly. Before he came to Paris he fought for
several months in Poland in the ranks of the volun-
teers organised in 1863. . _

owing to the sagacity of Raimbeaux that the crime
was not consummated. lie saw a man advance and
take something from his waistcoat pocket, and was
convinced in a moment that it was not a petition.
Ile, therefore, made a movement, and his horse re-
ceived the ball in its nostrils. The animal died
during the night. In the struggle of the animal
blood was spurted from him on the Emperor Napo-
leon and the Grand Duke %Vladimir. The Emperor
of Russia, seeing the blood on the uniform of his
son, who was sitting opposite to him, thought the
Grand Duke had been struck by the ball. It was
a moment of cruel anxiety. Happily it was instantly
discovered that he was not hurt. The Emperor
Napoleon turned towards the Emperor Alexander,
and, smiling, said, " Sire, we have been under fire
together." The Emperor of Russia replied, " Our
destinies are in the hands of Providence."
The clothes of the assassin were much torn when
he was arrested. He was respectably dressed, and
wore a paletot and black cap. The first words he
uttered to M. Pietri, the Prefect of Police, were,
" I thank your agents very much. But for them
I should have been massacred."
M. Raimbeaux, to whose coolness and devotion
the Sovereigns owe their lives, is the son-in-law of
the late M. Mocquard, the head of the Emperor's
Cabinet, a man of literary note.
The Czar sent to M. Raimbeaux the cross of the
order of Stanislaus, accompanied with his affec-
tionate compliments. The Emperor Napoleon sent
for M. Raimbeaux and conferred upon him the cross
of the Legion of Honour. He was invited to the
ball given at the Russian Embassy, and was warmly
congratulated by all present.
A Te Deum, in gratitude for the escape, was
chaunted at the Russian church on Friday, in the
presence of the Emperor, the Empress, the King of
Prussia, the Emperor of Russia and his two sons,
the Princess Matilda, the Princess Murat, and other
illustrious personages.
A telegram from St. Petersburg states that a

Te Dcunz was also celebrated in all the churches of
Russia on Friday.
They were so filled that it was
difficult to obtain admission. The emotion was

general.
The crime has created deep sensation throughout
France. Already congratulatory addresses have been
sent to the Emperor from various cities and com-
munes ; among others from Lyons, Rouen, Amiens,
Chartres, Auxerre, Chalons sur Marne, Troyes,
Le Mans, Roubaix, Charleville, and Mezieres.
These addresses express great horror at the odious
attempt.
Count Kromoweki, on behalf of the Polish emi-
grants, his sent a letter to the Moniteur expressive
of deep grief at the crime, and protesting against
it. A deputation of Polish emigrants living at
Mans has also had an interview with the Prefect of
La Sarthe, to express their regret and reprobation
of the crime.

splendid illumination,
congratu-
latory festivals were held. There were similar de-
monstrations in the departments. This horrible
attempt elicited a spontaneous manifestation at the
Ambigu Theatre on Friday evening. In the drama
of "La Bouquetiere des Innocents" Louis the 13th,
speaking of the assassination of his father, says,
" The regicide is doubly infamous. Who strikes
the sovereign assassinates the country." Bravos
and hurrahs resounded through the house, in recog-
nition of this sentiment so appropriate to the

par.

occasion.
A confidential friend and attendant upon the
Emperor of Russia on the evening of the attempt
is said to have persuaded the Emperor to leave
Paris, as he might incur further danger. The re-
ply of his Majesty was that he would not in any
respect change the arrangements he had made for
his stay in Paris, and that all of them should be
very strictly carried out.
A polemic having arisen upon the point whe-
ther the assassin is a Russian or a Pole, reference
has been made to geographical authority, which
proves that Volhynia, of which he is a native, and
which now contains I,soo,oooinhabitants, belonged
to the ancient kingdom of Poland, although it is
now under the dominion of the Czar. When Po-
land was divided between Russia and Prussia in
1793, Volhynia was one of the provinces acquired
by Russia.
One of the papers states that the Emperor Alex-
ander has made a personal request to the Emperor
Napoleon that the men who have been arrested for
crying Vive la Pologne may be let at liberty.
