THE SUN.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1859.

Our Parisian news seem to be rather at fault.
Everything is at a sort of stand-still. The EMPEROR
is at Biarritz, and nobody knows what to be at.
The late trifling with the liberty of the press has
unfolded much more than the EMPEROR bargained
for. It has unmistakably stereotyped his despotism,
if that were necessary.

LOUIS NAPOLEON is, after all, but a man, and by
that standard must be judged. He has attained to
.eminence by means which s ould ruin a private
individual. He holds his position—how long ?
—time will answer. But, taking a little privilege
with our never-varying contemporary, we are of
opinion that the days of the over crafty are num-
bered.

It were idle to enter into the continuous rumours
of the continental fabricators of news, so as to
found any deductions from them. The real state
of European politics seems to be a " wondering
suspense." What will come next ! Aye, that's
the question ? But who can answer it—that's the
ticket!!

" Brotherly hatred " is said to be the keenest, as
it assuredly is the sorest of human frailties. Our
cousins on the other side of the Atlantic, or, as they
pride themselves to be, our more than co-equals,
have lately assumed a forward position in the ag-
gressive line. They are not content to let " well
alone," but will have everything just as they like.
They presume overmuch on the moderation
of their neighbours, and take all for granted,
merely because their more sober friends pause be-
fore they act. Young men are apt to think the
world is at their bidding, because the world did not
take the wink as it was expected, so our American
friends seem to think they can do just as they like
because the British Lion seems to be at his ease.
The world—that is, the new world—seems hardly
large enough for American enterprise, and they
Would fain monopolise the universe—such is the
moderation of freedom! But how ? The Ame-
ricans consider themselves as the freebooters
of freedom, and trample everything in their
way under the raise of " free trade for all,"
but for us in particular ! How long such a
game may be presumed to last, time only can
tell. But we suspect that the recent attempt_
paltry though it be—in grasping at the island of
San Juan, may cost the United States more than
they have " bargained fer."

An institution was established in this country
but a few years since with the a-mwed purpose of
dedicating the whole of its wealth and of its ener-
gies to the preservation of human lives, that must
otherwise—but for this beneficial institution—have
been doomed to all but inev:table destruction.
einnparatively speaking, but a very brief interval
has since then elapsed. Yet, already this chari-
table association has been the means of saving
10,992 persons from a sudden and dreadful death !
It has spent, moreover, within the same brief
period. no less than £28,061 in the construction
and support of its widely-scattered establishments!
It has, besides this, :distributed gold and silver
medals, together with pecuniary rewards, to the
amount of exactly £11,651 in the aggregate among
those who have co-operated in carrying out its
