ducive to the public interest, and the permanent
good of his country.
It is not the object of the writer of these few

lines to give the history of the career of Mr.
Rintoul, or a review of his public life—for his has
been an essentially public life, though not official.
That will, doubtless, be performed by those com-
petent to the task ; but, having been associated
with him in a comparatively humble, at the same
time confidential, situation, he feels that he should
not allow his death to pass without paying a tribute
of respect to one whose public life and worth were
well known—whose private life was only known
to a select circle of acquaintance—whose acts of be-
nevolence were unknown to his dearest friends, but
not to the administrator of his money for private
charity ; but well known to one who feels a melan-
choly pleasure, after 30 years' labour, in claiming
the privilege of being
tcoalhleadveh,
iasnedonkinidoewnitniaglhferiehnadd.,

[We sincerely bear our own testimony to the
correctness of the above tribute to the memory of
a man who has done much to the cause of public
improvement in the political as in the moral
world. Mr. Rintoul was cordially esteemed by
a large and influential circle of the mo t
eminent men of the day—literary and political.
That he merited their friendship may be inferred
from the standing which the Spectator held
in public opinion for its frank and fearless inde-
pendence. In his personal manner Mr. Rintoul
was perhaps rather shy and cynical, but his caustic
remarks were never influenced by bitterness of
sarcasm. On the contrary, they were suggested by
a keen appreciation, tact, and knowledge of the Fine
Arts. His beau ideal of a newspaper was —what it will
never attain to—perfection, and possibly in this he
was fastidious overmuch, expending more time and
diligence than the labour was worth. Still he had
the satisfaction to see and feel that his industry was
duly appreciated by a discerning public. Mr. Rin-
toul was a truly worthy man, and. we have a sad
pleasure in bearing our own testimony to the grate-
ful homage to his memory by his old, devoted, and
most worthy friend and helper in conducting the
Spectator.--Ed. San.]

THE CASE OF THE CAGLIARI.

TURIN, APRIL 22.

The reply of the Court of Naples to the last Sar-
dinian Note was officially communicated to-day to

Count Cavour.

It h couched in moderato terms, but contains a
flat refusal of the Sardinian demands.

FRANCE.
PARIS, THURSDAY.
A Council of Ministers, the Emperor presiding,
was held yesterd4 at the Tuileries. Prince Jerome
was present,

The
Patrie contains the following reflections on
the acquittal of B eamard :
" Let us hasten to declare that nobody could dream
of conLunding an enlightened nation like England with
the icfatnous faction which has transformed the friend of
an assassin into a hero. The demagogues have gained a
genuine victory in snatching frrm the ignorance or weak-
ness of the judges the acquit;al of Birnard. They have
rendered this victory still more brilliant by the ova-
tions offered to the accused. This truth ought to awaken
in England the same reflections as in France. Tae ques-
tion at issue is not a national antagonism between the
two countries, but the rerprerne struggle which exists
everyw'aere between society and its enemies. The dema-
gogues are very skilful. They began by exciting national
tillSeptibilitioq against France, and thus screened them-
selves behind Enel;sh pride. In order to have displayed
so much boldness, this faction must have felt its strength.
It is certain that its opinions have made frigh,fuj pro-
gress in England. This great country, which comprises
in it institutions so many elements of authority and
conservatism, has been invaded, in its turn, by the
scourge which it formerly braved or disdained.
Mazzini has not wasted his time in London.
We sincerely believe that when this state of
things shall have been perfectly aperec'ated in England,
the value of the alliance with Freecs will be enhanced.
The two countries formed their alliance with the view of
preserving the indelynlence of Europe ; they will main-
tain that alliance in order to prevent any social earth-
quake Providence has preserved and will
cot-Alone to watoh over, the life of the Emperor. The
maintenance of the' alliance depends on the patriotism
of the twr nations and on the wisdom of their govern-
ments."

MILITARY B_4NQUIST TO MARSHAL THE
DUG DE MALAKOFF.

The members of the Senior United Service Club
have taken the earliest adv tntage of the presence of
Marshal the Duke de Malakoff in this country to
give an entertainment to a great commander with
whom many of tle-m were comrades, and whose
loyal action with his English allies throughout the
inaean war was admired by all.
The subject was ne sooner mooted than all the
most eminent members entered their names for the
dinner, and the capabilities of the club alone re-
stricted the number of guests to 130.
The banquet was all that the resources of the
club, aided by the skill and efficient assistance of
Mr. Chater, of the L9ndon. Tavern, could furnish.
It was served a la Busse, every dish being carved
and handed round to each guest, the more exquisite
patisserie and dessert alone remaining on the table
encircled and intermixed with elegant plate and
flowers.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
occupied the chair, having the Duke de Malakoff
on his right, and Admiral the Earl of Hardwicke
upon his left hand.

The Baron de Mahret, Monsieur de Monicault,
Comte de Jaui;ourt, Lieut.-Col. Appert, and
Lieut.-Co!. Duval were in the sui. e of the gallant
marshal. Lord Burghersh was iu waiting on the
Duke of Cambridge.
The company, who were out of uniform, and
exh bited few military decorations, having done
ample justice to the feat,
His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE
repo and said that, although the occasion might,
to Borne extent, be considered a private one, still it
was one of great public interest, inasmuch as they
h.td ni,:t to welcome and do honour to the arrival
of the Duke of Malakoff in this country. He was
sure the gallant marshal must feel happy to find
himself, at so early a moment, in such a party of
English officers, and with them to be driuking the
health of the Queen of England. (Hear, hear.)
He begged to propose to them " The health of her
most gracious Majesty Quen Victoria.''

Thetoait was treceived with loud acclamations.

The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, on again rising, said
that he was sure the next toast he had to propose
would be received with the same spirit. He begged
now to give them the health of his Imperial Ma-
jesty the Emperor of Fiance, and with that toast
he would couple the health of the Empress. (Loud
cheers.) The manner in which this announcement
had been received would sufficiently assure his friend
the Duke de Malakoff that the name of the Empe-
ror of France was in itself a signal for the expres-
sion of the warmest good feeling in this country.
(Hear.) Whatever shade of politics might prevail
among them—and, no doubt, politics of every
shade had their represen atives in that room—
still there was not a man, there was not a heart
among them, but rejoiced at the providential
escape of the Emperor and his Empress
from the late diabolical attempt to assassinate them.
(Cheers.) He had himself a particular satisfaction
in proposing this toast, for if ever there was an in-
dividual who had received marked attention from
his Imperial Majesty, he was that individual. He
had had opportunities of conversing with the Em-
peror under all kinds of circutnstaeces, and at mo-
ments of entire privacy, and he could most con-
scientiously state that every expression and every
sentiment of his Imperial Majesty was in conso-
nance with the public opinions he had expressed
of the great value of the mutual alliance of France
and England. (Loud cheers.) He for one attached
great importance to that alliance. He was deeply
sensible of its importance, whether in peace or war,
and therefore nothing gave him so much satisfac-
tion as recording his hope that this alliance might
endure to the end of time. (Cheers.) Though there
might be little differences of opinion—and differ-
ences of opinion would arise in the management of
even the same poli•ical systems—he was confident
that alliance would continue, and fructuate to the
good of the universal world. (Applause.) His Royal
Highness concluded by proposing " The health of
the Emperor and Empress of France," which was
drunk wi,h great enthusiasm.
His Excellency the Duke de MALAKOFF, when
the cheering had subsided, acknowledged the toast
in the following terms :—Monseigneur et Messieurs,
le toast que vows venez de porter h l'Empereur et
l'lmperatrice leur sera particulierement agteable ;
et, ma conviction se foude ptofond6ment sur les
paroles sytnpathiquee prononcees par mon Souve-
Lelia quaed j'ai eu l'honneur de me separer de
,lui
pour aborder les ekes de la vieille Augleterre.
(Loud cheers.)
