ceptibility of the French," and he was proud at
having to show to the greater part of the kings of
the world, la France telle qu'elle est.

At the same moment the untoward news arrived
in Paris that the Emperor Maximilian had been
shot on the 19th day of June. The Court of
Austria had received the terrible news at the same
time from its Minister at Washington, and from
the captain of the Elizabetta, stationed at Vera
Cruz. The Austrian journals, also published on
the Ist July, declared that it was but too true that
the Emperor Maximilian had been shot on the 19th
of June. And this, your Imperial Majesty, who
bear the name of Napoleon 111., this is the glory
you ascribe to France. You took away from the
tranquillity of Miramar an august prince, a man of
large intellect, and of larger heart, and with a
hundred blandishments and a thousand promises,
you entice him to Mexico to receive the crown of an
empire which you had founded. But when he had
arrived there, and difficulties, opposition, and
dangers accumulated on his head, you first aban-
doned him, and then allowed him to be shot.
Say now to the French people Felicitos
nous !" Not only was the Emperor of Austria
conquered in Lombardy and overthrown in Bohe-
mia, but his brother was shot in Mexico ! Say
now to the French people :—" Soyons fers," hold
your head high. You defenders of every just cause!
You have permitted, in the most atrocious manner,
the repetition in the person of Maximilian of the
horrible fate of the Duke d'Enghien. Speak now
of patriotic faith. Faith in your patriotism had the
unfortunate Maximilian, and he has paid the price
of his mistake. Boast now of the generous ideas
of Napoleonic France ; history will register your
generosity with the blood of Maximilian.
But if we continue to write what we feel in our
heart, our article, perchance, will not be suffered
to meet the eye of any but the representative of
France and the Procuratore del Re in Turin ; there-
fore, it will be a better plan only to recite the
words spoken and reported in the Legislative Body
by the Minister of Napoleon 111. Twice M.
Rouher favoured the French deputies with his
views on Mexico and Maximilian—once in the
sitting of the 27th January, 1864, and then in that
of the 11th April, 1865.
The first time, in' reply to those who had pro-
posed the abandonment of Mexico, he said :—" It
would be the most shameful of all desertions."

life insurance might be paid to my wife, sup-.

posing me drowned, and at last subject her and
my family to the additional disgrace of being
suspected of complicity in wrong. I wanted

them to be pure and innocent as the light of heaven.
This I could not bear, I went to my desolate room

and wrote a letter to my distracted family that I
was alive, and not to take any money on my life
insurance. Oh God, what an hour was that ! I

began to realise as I had not done before the awful
fall I had experienced. Oh, I held my poor throb-

bing temples in my hands. I lay in agony upon
the floor. I tried to pray. When that letter was
once in the office I fat an indescribable relief. But
oh, the sadness of my poor heart ! What sleepless
nights ! What long, weary, desolate days ! Oh
my poor Cordclia, the companion of my youth !
How true and forgiving ! My poor children ! For-
saking all their childish sports to mourn for oue
whom they had loved and trusted with the faith and
purity of the angel ! All these things hung upon me
and filled me with a horror of darkness. How many

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Our market to-day was well supplied with foreign stock,
in somewhat improved condition. All broods sold heavily
at depressed currencies.

The arrivals of boasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts wore seasonably good, both as to number and
quality. Owing in some measure to the moderato attend-
ance of buyers, the demand for all breeds was heavy in the
extreme, at a decline in the quotations, compared with this
day se'nnight, of fully 2d per 81bs. The top price for
Scots and crosses was 4s 10d per Blbs.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received about 1,850 shorthorns and crosses ;
from other parts of England, 750 various breeds ; and from
Scotland, 24 Scots and crosses.

We were tolerable well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with sheep, the quality of which was by no moans first rate.
The trade was in a most depressed state, and the curren-
cies gave way fully 2d per Blbs. The best Downs and
half-breds changed hands at barely 4s 10d per 81bs.
There was scarcely any demand for lambs, the allow of
which was seasonably good, and prices declined 4d per
Blbs. The highest figure was 5s 6d per 81bs.

Oalves were in moderato request, at about stationary
prices. The supply was rather limited.
We have to report a heavy sale for pigs on rather lowo
terms.

REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL.

The Earl of DERBY, in continuation, said the amend-
ments which their lordships had made in the bill, although
dissented from by the House of Commons, he considered
to be most important. Much as he regretted the strik-
ing out of the clause relating to voting papers, he
thought the time would come when that great hn-
provement in the mode of voting should have
to bo adopted. Notwithstanding the rejection
of the amendments, ho trusted their lordships would
not persist in those amendments, because the effect
of such a step would bo that the whole labour of the
session would be lost. Groat discontent would
prevail during the recess. Under such circumstances much
as he regretted the other house took a view opposed
to their lordships he would, on the part of her Majesty's
Government, ask their lordships not to persevere in their

amendments.
After a few words from the Marquis of SALISBURY, Earl
STANnorz, and several other Peers,

Their Lordships agreed not to persiit in their amend-

ments.

The quotation of gold at Pans Is about at par, and

-national feeling is to fill the coffers of the Congress-
men themselves, and to enrich the soldiers at the
expense of the national solvency. The warning
voice of the SECRETARY of the TREASURY has been
raised with emphasis, and there have not been
wanting tangible indications to confirm his state-
ments. Still the Radical party for the present car-
ries all before it. The leaders, secure of the two-
thirds majority, despised the Presidential veto ; its
orators compete with each other in virulence of
language, in reckless abuse of the PRESIDENT, and
in threats and execrations towards the South.
Unless some great crisis should occur which would
justify extreme measures, we cannot hope to see a
change for the better in the American Congress
until new elections give the people an opportunity
of showing their feelings. Nevertheless, mode-
rate views aro gaining ground. A few days
since a delegation of Conservative Republicans
from Pennsylvania waited on the PRESIDENT,
and informed him that their party proposed to
nominate candidates on a platform distinct from
either of the great political parties. The PRESIDENT
said, in answer, that he trusted both wings of the
party supporting him would bury past differences
for the promotion of the common end. It is to be
hoped some such compromise may be made, and
that a firm and united party may rally round those
moderate and patriotic politicians, who, by what-
ever name they call themselves, prefer the ultimate
good of the whole country to a temporary triumph
of their own interests, and refuse to sacrifice one-
half the nation to the selfish ambition and reckless
greed of a limited and unconstitutional party of
political fanatics.

MARK LANE.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day, coast-
wise and by land carriage, were in good saleable condi-
tion. For all kinds the demand ruled heavy, and prices
had a drooping tendency. A few samples of now Tala-
vera sold at 725. to 755. per quarter. Their quality was
not very good.
We were heavily supplied with foreign Wheat, in which
only a retail business was passing on rather easier terms.
The imports have been very extensive.
The barley trade was firm at full prices. The supply
of barley was limited.

Malt, the supply of which was good, changed hands
slowly, and late rates were with difficulty supported.
There was a good demand for oats at 6d per quarter
more money when compared with Monday last. The
supply of foreign was rather extensive.

Boaus were held at full prices, but tho inquiry for them
was inactive. Peas maintained their previous value, with
a Flow trade.

The flour trade was heavy, at late rates.
Sovrral pareelo of now rapeseed, in prime condition,
wore disposed of at 62s per quarter. In other seeds, as
well as in cakes, very little was doing.

Dr. Wilson, U. S. Consul at Antwerp, has re-
turned after a fortnight's absence.
The Prussian Government decline to give an
exequatur to Julius Movins of Buffalo, New York, recently
appointed U.S. Consul at Goblentz. The grounds of ths
refusal were that they could not allow a foreign Consul to
reside within one of their forfeited cities. Their Govera"
meut doubtless feared ho would be at the head of sown
plot for the capture of tho fortrese. Mr. Al ovins bad'
however, resigned even before ho had heard of the non-
receipt of the exequatur.
The total sum handed to the Pope as Peter's

TEE SUN, LoNUM, INIONuAY EVENING, AUGUST 12 1867.

And alluding to Juarez he said :—" After having
conquered this impious enemy, who has spilt the
blood of our fellow-citizens, and outraged our flag
—to treat with him would be to give the lie to
the entire campaign which we commenced the
31st of October, 1861. It would be to say to the
Mexican Indians : Have confidence no more in
us ; trust no more the flag of France.' " But this
is what is said to-day by the blood of poor Maxi-
milian.

In that debate M. Rouher praised the new Em-
peror of Mexico, and his bold, but prudent and
sagacious policy. And, speaking of the French
expedition in Mexico, he added : " This will be a
glorious page in history." That glorious page was
closed on the 19th of June, 1867 ; and now the
Mexican expedition may be classified under four
heads : French brag, Napoleonic desertion, treachery
of Lopez, and murder of Maximilian.
When, in April, 1865, far-seeing politicians
trembled for the fate of Mexico, M. Rouher re-
' plied to the Legislative Body ;—" have no fear ;"
and added : " What is true in this matter is, that
we have accomplished a great deed, a great enter-
prize ; what is true is that legitimately called
upon to revenge the wrongs committed in this
vast territory of Mexico, we have established there
• order, civilization, and liberty ; what is true, is
that we have suppressed anarchy and civil war ;
and that in a few years this pacified country will
bless France."

Two years have nearly passed, and what is true
is that Napoleon 111. founded an Empire in Mexico,
and conducted thither an Emperor ; and in the
moment of greatest danger he deserted the Empire
and the Emperor ; and that the Empire was de-
stroyed and the Emperor shot.
The Minister of Bonaparte concluded his speech
to the Legislative Body of France by declaring
that he knew well the policy of Juarez, who had
said—" 1 will weary out the French troops and
make them go back to France." And M. Rouher
gave him to understand that he was mistaken in
his reckoning. But, after all, he was not mistaken.
Napoleon's army did return to France, and Maxi-
milian, abandoned and betrayed, is shot.
The French army, however, is returned, therefore
the work is accomplished. The balls of Juarez have
put an end to Maximilian. lie who is dead is
more to be envied than he who sentenced him to
death, or than he who permitted the execution.
By a glorious end Maximilian has been able to
blot out his errors ; and history will pardon in him
all except the one unpardonable fault of having
believed the promises and accepted the offers of
one who shortly before had been his brother's un-
relenting enemy. Maximilian ought not to have
forgotten that Napoleon I. always reserved for his
own family crowns that were worth having, and
I he might have replied to Napoleon 111. that, fol-
lowing the example of his uncle, he should have
created his own cousin Emperor of Mexico.—

THE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN.

On the Ist of July Napoleon 111. delivered, at
Paris, a long and pompous speech at the distribu-
tion of prizes, to those who had most distinguished
themselves at the great show, in which he spoke of

France, great, prosperous, and free ; of the gran-
deur of France, always fertile in generous ideas,
and of the national genius " which never allowed
itself to be enervated in material enjoyments."
lie spoke further "of the national French fibre,

ever prone to vibrate when the honour of the
country was concerned ;" and " of the noble sus-

THE GUN CLUB, SHEPHERD'S BUSH. •
The pigeon shooting at the Gun-club Grounds, Shep-
herd's Bush, was brought to a close on Saturday. A .£5
handicap sweep was announced as the final event, but the
attendance of members being small, and the majority of
those present objecting to so largo a stake, it was aban-
doned;and nothing beyond sovereign sweeps were arrived
at. The first, for which there were only eleven entries,
was well contested, five gentlemenMr Gregory, Captain
Talbot, Mr Neville, Mr Rudd, and Mr Monk, M.P.—kill-
ing all their birds. On shooting off the ties Captain
Talbot and Mr Rudd fell of at the second round, leaving
the contest between Messrs. Gregory, Neville, and Monk,
the first of whom missed at the fifth round. The remain-
ing two killed their live birds each, and consented to di-
vide rather than prolong the contest. A large number of
similar events were shot off, in the whole of which the
shooting was very fair, being quite up to the average

times I asked myself the question, Is this true, or
is it a hideous dream—some horrid nightmare, from
which I shall awake to find myself at my home safe
and happy ? But alas ! it is too true.
" And now, how can language give adequate ex-
pression to the thoughts and feelings of such a sad
and desolate heart as mine ? How have I wronged
them ! I will not blame any one but myself. I will
attempt no excuse whatever ; I alone am to
blame ; I ought to have suffered on, if need be,
till death. Then there is the church of God for
which I have worked so hard. How I have
injured and disgraced her ! How I have wounded
and wronged the ministers ! How I have loved
and prayed for them ! God knows I did not
intend to harm one of them. Oh, the com-
munities where I have lived ! How I have wronged
them all ! And the whole public, how I have in-
sulted and wounded it. Oh ! I am a poor, deso-
late, helpless, ruined man I I come to the church,
to the ministers of all denominations, to the
people of Plattsburg, who have been so distracted,
but so forgiving and kind, and hold up my trem-
bling hands, and raise to you my weary longing
eyes, and ask you to forgive me. By all that is
humane and tender, by all that is to be hoped for in
this world, and by all that is to be desired in the
next, I ask you to forgive me ! 'As ye would that
men should do unto you, do you even so unto
them.' Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one
of the least of those ye have done it unto me.' Oh,
think of my long public life without one stain upon
it save my debts, which God knows many of them I
could not help, and then find it in your hearts to
forgive me ! Oh, think of my wife, noble, gener-
ous, and pure—think of my poor children, who in
their grief have forgotten to play, and for their sake
forgive me, and extend a friendly hand to me once
more. If I had ever betrayed your trust before, I
would not ask it. But surely you will not refuse
me now. Oh, think of your own happy homes and
mine all desolate and sad—think of your own sweet
children, some of whom are in heaven; and then
think of mine, and for their sake forgive me. lam
prostrate in the dust—l am helpless and homeless—
I lift up my poor trembling hands once more, and
ask you to forgive and help me.—Yours in peni-
tence and sorrow, " S. M. MEP.RILL."

MARK LANE.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day, coast-
wise and by land carriage, wore in good saleable condi-
tion. For all kinds the demand ruled heavy, and prices
had a drooping tendency. A few samples of new Tala-
vera sold at 725. to 755. per quarter. Their quality was
not very good.
We wore heavily supplied with foreign Wheat, in which
only a retail business was passing on rather easier terms.
The iwports have been very extensive.
The barley trade was firm at full prices. The supply
of barley was limited.
Malt, the supply of which was good, changed hands
slowly, and late rates were with difficulty supported.
There was a good demand for oats at Gd per quarter
[note money when compared with Monday last. The
mpply of foreign was rather extensive.
Beans were held at full prices, but the inquiry for them
Yes inactive. Peas maintained their previous value, with
a slow trade.

The flour trade was heavy, at lato rates.
Several parcels of new rapeseed, in primp condition,
were disposed of at 62s per quarter. In other seeds, as
well as in cakes, very little was doing.

pronounce incurable, admirably allays the tickling which
provokes frequent coughing. In approaching consumption
its effects are truly beneficial. Persons deprived of sleep, or

THE POOR AT HOLYHEAD.

Mr. OWEN STANLEY asked the President of the
Poor la►w Board if he had taken into his consideration the
petition from the parish of Holyhead, lately presented
to the House, together with any special report from
the Poor Law inspector of the district, Mr. Doyle,
urging the necessity of immediate legislative inter-
ference, to enforce upon the Guardians of the Holyhead
Union the building a workhouse and hospital for
the sick poor, and giving means for instruction to orphan
and pauper children in the union ; and if he would be
prepared to bring in a bill to enforce the same; and, if he
would lay upon the table of the house any report or
papers relating to the subject.
Mr. HARDY said soon after he went to the
Poor Law Board his attention had been called to
the dreadful and disgusting. matters which had taken
place at Holyhead and he had determined that
it should be the fault of Parliament and not his if the evil
was not remedied. He recommended hon. members to
read the petition, which disclosed a state of affairs of the
most horrible description. He proposed to bring in a bill
without the least delay. At present the poor law board
had power to call for the alterations of workhouses, but
there was no power to compel the guardians to build a
workhouse. Ile should have groat pleasure in laying Mr.
Douglas's report on the table.
STEEhING AND SAILING RULES.
Mr. HOLLAND asked the First Lord of the Admiralty
whether the attention of the Government had been called
to the existing steering and sailing rules, and whether it
was intended to cause any inquiry to be made as to their
effi,ieney with a view to prevent disasters arising from
collisions at sea.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said the subject was one of great
interest, but he thought it might be that many of the acci-
dents might be attributed to the neglect of existing rules
rather than to any defects in theme. lie, however, intended
to propose to the Board of Trade and the Trinity nous° to
see if it was not possible to render the existing rules more
simple
