(From the Times)

Frenchmen are skilful in writing history—even the his-
tory of events which have not happened. They will expa-
tiate on what would have been the result if victory had not,
by a concurrence of the most unforeseen circumstances, de-
serted their colours and:taken fromthem the possession of Ca-
nada, or India, or Egypt. A few years since one imaginative
writer publishe d a work called "Napoleon Apocryphe," in
which he narrated what the Emperor would have done had
he not been overthrown at Leipsic and Waterloo. Among
other great events was the conquest of England in the year
1817. An immense fleet issuing from the ports of the
Channel and the North Sea conveyed the armies of the
Empire to the shores of the Wash. The Emperor com-
manded in person. A fearful conflict took place at Ipswich;
the English retreated ; and then followed the great and de-
cisive Battle of Cambridge, in which three sons of George
111. were slain ; the English lost vast numbers in killed,
wounded, and prisoners, all duly stated in the text ; and the
House of Hanover ceased to reign. England was annexed
to France, and divided into 26 departments, London being
situated in the " Tamise Inferieure." George 111. was
subsequently permitted to retain the Throne of Scotland.
The Code Napoleon was translated into English and ren-
dered imperative on our Courts. The Universities of Oxford
and Cambridge became academies, the University of Eng-
land being established in London. English regiments
formed part of the Imperial Army. " After a time," says
the historian, " England felt herself French, qnd was con-
tent." In England, if we do not deal in ideal history, a
certain set of crazy people are always busy in interpreting
prophecy, but we have just received from France a publica-
tion which rivals the boldest effusions of our prophetic
Dress. The Ruth app
nr calvoi P
Lyre tne key to the future ; his sole inspiration is the power
of France. France, chivalrous and unselfish as she is, will
in the space of only one year revolutionise the States of Eu-
rope and Asia, distributing realms and regions among its
monarchs, though without advancing her actual frontiers
by a single kilometre.
The publication we speak of is a map of Europe and the
Mediterranean basin, and is entitled " L' Europe en 1860."
It represents that " agglomeration of the peoples" which is
to be carried out by the arms of France, and of which the
march of the Piedmontese across the Ticino is to be the signal.
But far be it from the reader to suppose that any prince or
potentate is to suffer from this great popular millennium.
France, at once despotic and democratic, with an empire
which is peace, and boasting of launching half a million
troops against an enemy—France is able to reconcile the
extension of monarchical power with the increase of national
1 independence. Even her enemies gain by the blow which
prostrates them, and are vanquished only to find themselves
the possessors of richer provinces and more lordly domains
than could ever have rewarded victory. We are to suppose
a series of campaigns conducted with a rapidity beyond
example, and ending. in the complete triumph of the French
arms. Austria's twice-taken capital is taken for the third
time ; Prussia and the Bund are worsted in their endea-
vours to succour the Imperial house ; and Turkey, with
base ingratitude, commits an act of treachery to France,
which is punished by a total overthrow. Morocco, in the
meantime, is swept from the list of States for some reason
that is not clearly shown. As for England, we are in
doubt whether she is intended to be one of the vanquished
foes, or the faithful and justly recompensed ally of Napoleon
111. But it does not matter. The victorious potentate
distributes rewards to all, and England has, as will be seen,
a splendid share of the spoil.
The state of Europe in 1860, or after 23 months at
furthest, is to be as follows :—The Queen of Great Britain
retains all her territories, and acquires the island of Cyprus
and the course of the Euphrates, which, it is observed, is
the shortest road from the British Isles to India. We are

not allowed, however, to have any port on the Syrian
coast, the Gulf of Alexandretta being the only means of
communicating with our new territory. When the phrophecy
is fulfilled we shall have to petition our Imperial ally
for a little strip of territory to the southward ; indeed, Lord
Malmesbury may as well take up the affair at once. Happy
Austria I She was once told to leave wars to others, and
seek by marriage the realms she coveted. Now her fate is
still more strange; she gains by defeat and conquers a de-
pendency by the ruin of an army. In 1860 Francis Joseph's
title will be Emperor of Austria and Egypt ; he acquires
Egypt, Servia, and Bosnia, ceding Galicia to Russia, and
the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom to Piedmont. Although
certainly the semi-barbarous provinces of the Turkish fron-
tier may not be a possession equal to the plains of the Po,
still the gain of Egypt and the status of a great maritime
Power must make Austria bless the day when she encoun-
tered the chivalrous spear of France. As was usual in the
days of old, Francis Joseph will be dismissed by the con-
queror laden with benefits, to tell the world that there never
was a more perfect gentle knight than his Majesty Napoleon.
the Third, who distributes thrones to the Kings he has van-
quished, while with the high-mindedness of a Paladin his
empire "conserve ses limites actuelles."
Frederick William IV. cedes to Holland and Belgium the
left bank of the Rhine, and acquires Holland, Brunswick,
Mecklenburg, Electoral Hesse, the Principality of Waldeck,
the three of Anhalt, the two of Lippe, and part of that of
Schwarzburg-Sonderhaut3en. This is circumstantiality in-
deed. The French armies have made short work of Ger-

man federation. It will be seen Hanover is gone. Although
George the Fifth has carried off Queen Victoria's diamonds
in rather an indelicate manner, we Englishmen retain
enough interest in the ancient family of the Guelphs to bo
curious to know what becomes of their male representative.
Do not be afraid; he is well provided for. George the
Fifth becomes King of Constantinople, acquires Roumelia,
and cedes Hanover to Prussia. Here is an unexpected
honour for us. The Eastern Empire is revived in the per-
son of an Englishman—an. English Duke. The Saxon
Varangians who took service with Alexis after the battle of
Hastings will doubtless rise from their graves by the swift-
flowing Bosphoms, and shout a welcome.

We must be brief with the other dispositions of territory.
Victor Emmanuel becomes King of Italy, acquires the
Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom, the Duchies of Parma and
Modena, and the Legations. The Pope, in return for the
Legations, receives the Abruzzi. The King of Naples
cedes Sicily, which is given to the Duke of Parma, and re-
ceives in return—we suppose as a compliment to his
humanity—Tunis ! Isabella of Spain acquires in the same
way Morocco. The Duke of Mecklenburg becomes King
of the Roumans, with Moldavia, Wallachia, and Bulgaria
for his dominions. The King of Greece receives a large
accession of territory. It will be seen that Turkey and the
Mahomedan States are pretty severely treated. Everybody
is indemnified at their cost. The map. is headed with a
Cross, with the motto "In hoc signo moos ;" so we, may
be prepared for a policy of " Thorough" as regards un-
happy Islam. In 1860 Abdul Medjid Khan will take the
title of " Sultan of Asia." " He yields all his possessions
in Europe and on the shores of the Mediterranean. The
Crescent returns into Asia after three centuries of usurpa-
tion and shame for Christianity."
It may be asked why we have noticed this absurd but
elaborate production. We answer, because this map is
drawn on the presumption. that Franco can by a war as
short and decisive as those concluded by Jena and Fried..
land tear to pieces the Treaties which govern Europe, and
that the tendency of such speculations is to perpetuate a
state of peace almost as anxious and as burdensome ask ar.
Material prosperity has, indeed, weakened the aspirations
for conquest in the mass of the French people, but not in
the soldiery, and notoriously not in the Chief of the State.

MURDER BY A LUNATIC AT HAN-

WELL ASYLUM.

On Saturday a most deplorable event, which has
taken place at Hanwell. County Lunatic Asylum,
was investigated by the local bench of magistrates,
and subsequently by Mr. Wakley, the coroner. On
Thursday morning a man named William Roberts
and another man named John Brady were taken
out as usual, with about twenty other patients, for
the purpose of being employed, under the superin-
tendence of James Birch, one of the gardeners, in
spade husbandry. Roberts, who is 28 years of age,
has been in the asylum 14 years, and having three
years ago made a sudden attack upon a fellow-
patient, he was considered a dangerous lunatic, and
was therefore, while at work, kept twenty yards
from any other inmate. On Thursday morning
Brady happened to both' next to Robert, who was
working a large iron pronged fork. Suddenly hear-
ing a noise, Birch, the gardener; on. turning round,
saw poor Brady on the ground, and Roberts bela-
bouring him about the head with the iron pronged
fork with all his might. On assistance going to the
spot Brady's head and face were found covered
with blood, and one of his eyes laid out of its
socket upon his cheek. Roberts was immedi-
ately secured, and Mr. Begby, the medical officer
sent for, who had Brady removeei. to the infix-
mary and put into a warm bath, bu t he was found
to be dead. On taking the accused to his room,
Birch said to him, " William, are you not sorry
that you have committed such a :rash act on a
brother patient ? " to which he replied, " I meant
to kill some one." The magistrates felt it their
duty to commit the accused to New gate for trial on
the charge of murder, but as the c oroner was about
to sit, directed that his removal should not take
place till the inquest had been held. Before the
pry Mr. Begby, the surgeon, proved that the in-
juries were the cause of death, and that the accused
was an epileptic patient, who beca me exceedingly
violent before his fits, and that he vas not respon-
sible for his acts. e added that if there was all
increase of the medical staff, each patient might be
inspected every morning before going to work. The
coroner, in summing up, expressed his conviction
that it would be useless to put the county to the
expense of sending the irresponsible being thejurY
had had before them for trial, as no jury in tbe.
world could convict him on the capital charge 01
wilful murder. The jury concurred with the coro-
ner, and returned a verdict of m isadventure, at'
taching thereto the following :—" The jury sitting
on the inquest on John Brady would earnestly
recommend that no patient who has committed anY
serious assault on any person should never after,
while kept in the asylum, be entrusted with all
tool or instrument with which he could inflict anY
serious injury on any other patient, or upon anY
officer." The jury also recommend that the meal'
cal staff of the asylum shall be strengthened, in
order that the patients may be subjected to a more
frequent medical inspection." Notwithstanding
this verdict, the accused was subsequently removed
to Newgate on the magistrate's warrant.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills and Ointment.--•
Lowness of Spirits, Hypochondriaism, Insanity.—These
formidable diseases are usually caused by a disordered con-
dition of one or more of the digestive organs, and most
deplorably commence at the meridian of life. The distress
ing symptoms need no enumeration : they are known 111
some degree to the wisest and best of mankind, as well as
the weakest. Whenever the liver, stomach, and kidneys
are roused, the morbid feelings and ideas vanish ; to effect
this happy result nothing more is needed than friction over
those organs with Holloway's ointment, whilst his pills are
likewise taken. The change of thought is immediate,
happy, and lasting. Those whom these medicines have
cured confess that their influence over the mind is magical
