for his master. The initiation of commercial free-
dom, the proffer of liberty to discuss the Royal
speech and the projets de loi, and lastly this
proffer of a certain amount of freedom to the
press, are all consistent acts. Each by itself
may go for little, but we can hardly think
that as a whole they are mere moonshine. If free-
dom in such humble measure seems at all injurious
to Napoleonism, we may be sure it will be speedily
withdrawn ; but we incline to the belief that the
EMPEROR would be glad to reign with a little more
of constitutional liberty, and its safeguards to the
Crown. He and his faithful old servant have there-
fore concluded to make a trial of a measure of li-

potentiary.

Whether we are to feel flattered or censured by
Count DE PERSIGNY'S lecture to his Prefects on
the Freedom of the Press in England, in relation
to the French laws and administration of the press,
it is hard to say. His opening paragraph gives us
praise enough to make us blush for very modesty.
"I have just been living (he says) among a people
who may be justly proud of their institutions;
where the liberty of the press is openly exercised
without being a danger either to the State, to
public order, or to the safety of persons and of
things ; and where, useful to all parties, appealed
to and respected by all, it forms the surest guaran-
tee of public liberty, of order, and of the prosperity
of the country. I have long witnessed that noble
spectacle, and if formerly I had not liked true
liberty, I should have acquired a taste for it in that
country." And these laudations of our liberty are
penned as an introduction to his manifesto on
assuming the Dictatorship which the ordinances of
the coup d'etat confer on the Minister of the In-
terior. Surely freedom for the French Press is
about to spring from the head of Count DE PER-
SIGNY, like Minerva front the Head of Jupiter, a
goddess fully equipped.
But stay a little, and England must hear some-
what not quite so much to her honour, and France a
little showing that the English model has a double
aspect. Both the past and the p resent of England
warn the French Minister that he must not abuse
the fact Of an English free press. History tells

of Hanover, and were even liable, up
to 1760, to dismissal by the Crown, it may be
imagined what was the liberty of the press for the
partisans of the STUARTS, for the Jacobites, the

berty, retaining the power to resume it again at any
'moment if necessary. The electors, the delegates,
and the press, are all to have their chains conside-
rably lengthened, but by no means taken off. It may
thus be seen whether they may not next be trusted
with only a collar on their necks, to which the
chain might be fastened again in an instant ; and
if, after all, it be found that the pack gives no
signs of turning on its master, then, possibly, con-
stitutional freedom may be fairly conceded. As-
suredly it is only as a constitutional Emperor that
NAPOLEON can hope to leave his crown to his son.
He stole it himself, but if before his death the
nation feels that it is its own master, they may not
be :unwilling to allow the son to take quiet and
peaceable possession of moderate power.

trade, with liabilities for £50,000, but with assets that will
prove ample, if time be allowed. Another house is also
stated to be in difficulties, but its liabilities are only
£15,000, and it is thought that a resumption will be prac-
ticable.
THE DEAD WEIGHT ANNUITY.—Some account
of a transaction connected with the Bank of England may
possibly interest the reader. In the year 1823 the several
pensions payable to the retired officers of the army and
navy, which were granted after the Battle of Waterloo,
amounted to the large sum of five millions annually. The
amount was lessening every year, and it was calculated
that on the average of mortality the whole would come to an
end in 45 years. This suggested the idea of offering to a
great public body a fixed annuity for that term of years, in
consideration of their relieving the public of a part of the
immediate payment. The Bank of England accepted the
offer, and advanced the sum of £11,000,000 towards buying
up the pensions, receiving from the Government an en-
gagement to pay them an annuity of £585,710 until the
year 1867. This annuity was, and is to the present time,
very appropriately termed "the dead weight."—Mont'

PARIS, TUESDAY MORNING.

The Ilioniteur publishes a decree cancelling the
avertissements given to the journals up to the
present date. The report of Count Persigny,
which precedes the decree, contains the following :
Oblivion of the past will be a new token tendered
by the general policy of the Emperor, which aims
at the reconciliation and union of all the intelli-
gence of the country. I have invited the press to
use great freedom of discussion. But against
those who may attack the State my conscience
will be so much the freer and stronger ; because
in effacing the past, his Majesty offers to writers
a noble opportunity of displaying their pa-
triotism.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—The Poultry Show opens to.
morrow at 10 o'clock, in conjunction; with an exhibition of
agricultural implements, roots, seeds, &c. Between 2,000
and 3,000 baskets and packages of all sizes and shapes hail
arrived yesterday at the palace. The four Lilliputian
African horses, scarcely 30 inches high, were safely stabled
under one of the counters, which had been specially fitted
up for their accommodation. These are the same diminutive
creatures which were exhibited before her Majesty the
Queen, at Windsor, on their arrival in England and after-
wards mounted to the top of the Duke of York's Column to
take a survey of London. The owner expresses his intention
of letting them occasionally ascend the water towers for a
little exercise. Three sheep, weighing altogether about 501 b
and six cows in miniature, to match the horses, also arrived.
These curiosities will be shown in the centre transept. The
naves of the palace are transformed into an immense fancy
bazaar, replete with all kinds of articles suitable for Christ-
mas presents. One Shilling-day, Monday, Dec. 10.—Ad-
missions on payment, 641; ditto, by season tickets, 649;

ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.—WAR-
WICK, Dec. B.—A most determined highway robbery was
committed at Mear-end, near Wroxhall, a few miles from
this place, to-night. A pig-dealer, named Smith, was pro-
ceeding in the direction of Solihull, from the Warwick
market, when he was stopped by three men, who no doubt
expected he had some money, and who asked him if he had
any pigs to sell. They immediately knocked him down,
rifled his pockets of all they contained, viz., a number of
receipted bills, and a certificate for shooting, and beat him
about the head with crab-sticks until he was insensible.
Hewes subsequently carried to a neighbouring farm-house,
and on being examined by a surgeon, it was found that he
had sustained such serious injuries that it is doubtful
whether he will recover.
DETERMINED SUICIDE IN GLASGOW. On
Saturday morning, Martha Meikle or Hood, forty-four
years of age, residing with her husband in Shuttle-street,
Glasgow, committed suicide, cutting her throat from ear to
ear. Her husband was in bed in another room at the time,
and had his attention drawn by hearing his child scream.
The woman expired almost immediately. Her habits had
been drunken and irregular of late, which doubtless led to
the rash act.—Calodonian Mercury.
A RUNAWAY POST-MISTRESS.—The Galashiels
Record says •—" An officer of justice was in Galashiels last
week making inquiry respecting a post-mistress in the far
north (a town in Ross-shire) who has absconded and left
the affairs of the office in a confused and discreditable state.
The authorities in the north understand that she resided
for some six months in Galashiels, during the year 1856,
and that while here she had given birth to a child. The
register books of Galashiels and Ladpole for the year 1856
have been searched, but no entry applicable to the case can
be discovered. It is probable that Galashiels may in this
case have been confounded with Blackshiels, or some of the
other places with similar names.
C/ESAREAN SECTION.—This rare and fearful
operation was performed at Bethnal-green yesterday with
remarkable success, both mother and child being now alive
and promising to do well. The medical gentleman attend-
hag the patient called in Dr. Edmunds of Spital-square,
and, after an unavailing delay of five days, this operation
appeared to offer the only chance for either life, as exten-
sive cancerous disease of the mother caused insurmountable
obstruction to natural delivery. The operation was per-
formed by Dr. Edmunds, assisted by Dr. Giles and five
other medical gentlemen, and the operator's wife, Mrs.
James Edmunds, acted as head nurse on the occasion, and
superintended some important arrangements. Thanks to
chloroform there was no pain; when the mother returned to
consciousness she found herself comfortably placed in bed,
a living child by her side, and no sense of pain except the
smarting of the closed incisions.
SUDDEN DEATIL—A most awful and distressing
instance of sudden death, and one, in its mournful coin-
cidences, perhaps without a parallel, occurred at Eden-
ham, near Bourn, in Lincolnshire, on Thursday last,
December 6th. The eldest daughter of the Rev. William
Emerson Chapman, rector of the parish, had just been mar-
ried, and the guests, to the number of about 40, were assem-
bled at the wedding breakfast, when among other healths
that of the father and mother of the bride was proposed.
Mr. Chapman got up to return thanks, and after speaking
some few minutes, during which his voice and manner
became unusually loud and impressive, he fell forwards and
died instantaneously. The heartrending scene that followed.
may be more easily conceived than described. The deceased
was 6b years of age, and has left a widow and nine cbddren.
He was domestic chaplain to Lord Willoughby DG Eresby,
one of whose seats (Grimsthorpe Castle) is in the parish of
Edenham, where Mr. Chapman had resided as rector for
40 years. He was widely known and respected.
ESCAPE AND RE-CAPTURE OF A CONVICT.--Dur-
ing the time the convicts were at work in Chatham-dock-
yard on Saturday afternoon last, a most notorious character
named Archibald Nicholls,who is undergoing a long period
of penal servitude, contrived to elude the vigilance of the
officers in charge and make his escape from the rest of the
gang with whom he was employed. As soon as his escape
became known every effort was made to recapture him, and
extra police-constables placed on duty at the dockyard gates
to prevent his passing out in that direction, the sentries of
course allowing no one to leave the yard by water. On
making his escape the convict stole a frock-coat belonging to
one of the workmen, which was lying about, contrary to
the express regulations to that effect, and then secreted
himself in a secluded portion of the yard. Notwithstanding
a vigilant search, nothing was seen of him, and a reward of
L 5 was offered for his apprehension, it being believed that
he had contrived to pass out of the dockyard with the men
on their leaving their work. On Sunday night, however, one
of the Metropolitan Police employed in the yard under
Superintendent Richardson, succeeded in discovering him
closely concealed behind some timber, where he had re-
mained ever since his escape, the convict having on ttie
coat which he had stolen. He was at once removed to the
convict establishment, St. Mary's, to await the punish-
ment which will be imposed 04 bind fin IniPz at large.

The Moniteur also publishes a decree organis-
ing the Government and superior Administration
of Algeria.

The Illoniteur says :—The Marquis de Ploeuc,
Inspector of French Finance, who is now on a
