" experimental disciples of his scheme for the new
formation of society." Would they sacrifice their in-
terests in favour of his ambitious dreams ? Why
should he step between them and their daily bread ?
Why should the non-society men suffer for the mis-
deeds of others ? He advised them to make the do-
cument " the rule of the shop ;" he denied that any
skilful, steady, industrious man would ever want
employment when it was to be had, and advised
them to have nothing to do with strikes, for though
" the harshness of some employers is bad enough,
the tyranny of a strike executive is worse still."

Seldom have we so much sensible counsel to the
working men in a single speech. The homely
" unadorned eloquence" of Mr. PLUMMER has some-
thing of the ring of RICHARD COBDEN in it. It is
that thorough English outspokenness which " takes
the bull by the horns." We hope that the failure
of " dividends," this week, even of is. ld. dividends
a fortnight, to men who three weeks ago earned
more than £3 in the same time will clench Mr.
PLUM3IER'S arguments, and save the deluded and
their families from folly and ruin.

What's in a name P " A rose by any other name
will smell as sweet" is a proverb no less true than
trite ; yet, nevertheless, the name to be bestowed on
a new colony or a new city is not altogether unim-
portant. It has fallen to the lot of British rulers
and British adventurers to give a name to many
spots in many quarters of the globe—from the
Southern continent, whose fairest portions are
known by the title of our ancient Cymrian princi-
pality and the name of our present Queen, to the
lonely capes and snowy islands among the Polar seas,
where hardy Englishmen have given their names
to the desolate regions few `others dared to explore.
An interesting task has fallen to her MAJESTY in
the selection of suitable appellations for the new
colony which her reign has seen inaugurated, and
for its capital. The name of the colony is in every
way suitable—rendering due honour to the
memory of the great Genoese discoverer. It
is now announced that the capital of British
Columbia shall be called " New Westminster,"
to be in its time, no doubt, a worthy rival of the
similarly named capital of the Empire State—" New
York." It is doubtless not without a motive that
her Majesty has selected a title thus linking the
new land with the old. It will keep fresh in the
memories of the emigrants who will people those
vast solitudes the old associations and home
thoughts. The very name of their capital will
bring before them visions of the stately abbey that
has seen many a changing line of sovereigns sinoe
the days of EDWARD THE CONFESSOR-of the sena-
torial chambers, where the liberties of England
have been striven for no less valiantly than on the
tented field—of the hall where the old "trial by
jury" links the people of progress with the days of
Saxon ALFRED. And as another generation rises,
with all the fresh and vigorous energies of their
new country, untrammelled by the fetters of cus-
tom and civilisation in the old, the name of their
capital may teach them to temper their unchecked
freedom by a veneration for the old land that has given
them their laws and their liberty. When the wild
regions where the bear and the marten have been
the solitary denizens, and the fur trapper or the Red
Indian the only travellers, shall see crowded cities
and cultivated fields take the place of trackless
snow and pathless forest, the name of " New West-
minster" may remind its inhabitants that they have
a claim to share the memories and traditions of
their forefather's fatherland. It may teach them
' to emulate the fame of their city's sponsor, the
statesmen and heroes, the poets and philosophers
that sleep under the shadow of its Abbey ; the
, judges and councillors, whose weighty wisdom has
presided in its Hall; and the Aoquence, the ability,
and the patriotic spirit that have stirred and
swayed its Parliament.
Let us, then, wish all prosperity to our new colo-
nial capital, and trust that the bonds of fellowship
and old association may never be broken between
the mother country and her vast possessions in the
great northern continent of the Far West, but still

" Be linked in sympathy with auld langsyne."

Among the many advantages that will accrue to
the public from the proposed extension of the rail-
way lines through the metropolis, to a grand focus
at Charing-cross, will be, let us hope, the diminu-
tion in the number of those heavily-loaded vans
which now threaten the passenger with accident
and disaster. The accidents arising from the care-
lessness and hardihood with which they are packed
are of frequent occurrence, in the City more espe-
cially-. The melancholy death of a gentleman
in King William-street from this cause is of
recent date ; and it is but a few days
since a lady and gentleman in a cab were
nearly crushed by the falling of seven bales of
silk from a heavily-loaded waggon in Calthorpe-
street, Gray's Inn-road. The immense height to
which the loads are raised must have strack every
passenger in London-streets as extremely dan-
gerous. Even supposing them to be securely
fastened at starting, the continued oscillation of a
long journey loosens the cords and allows tne
smaller part of the baggage to slip. It was from
this cause that the accident in Calthorpe-street
occurred, and from the great height to which
the vans are packed, a comparatively small weight
falling on a passer-by might inflict a serious in•
jury, if not death. The vans, loaded with empty
fruit and vegetable baskets, leaving Covent-garden
on the evenings of market days, are so numerous
and unwieldy as to compel the removal of the large
lamp on Waterloo-bridge some time since. It is
quite time that some attention were paid to this
matter, since the frequent occurrence of these acci-
dents in narrow and crowded thoroughfares en-
dangers the lives and limbs of all who traverse the
streets of the metropolis.

FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY.

A letter from St. Sauveur of the Ist says :—" No-
thing is talked of here but the improvements which
are to be the consequence of the visit of their Ma •
jesties to these mountains. The suspension bridge,
which is to open the new communication between
St. Sauveur and the road from Gevre, will be a very
picturesque object, besides being of great utility.
The Emperor has given orders that the works shall
be carried on with the greatest activity. On Sa-
turday evening a number of bathers and tourists
arrived, and Sunday the avenue de St. Sauveur di: -
played as fashionable toilettes as the boulevards of
Paris. At 11 o'clock the Emperor and Empress
arrived at Luz to attend high mass. Their Majesties
were received at the door of the church by Mgr. La-
urence, bishop of Tarbes, and a numerous body of his
clergy. A bishop who had lately arrived from China
and a Roman prelate was also present. After Divine
service, their Majesties visited every part of the old
church, built by the:Templars, and the tower of
which is one of the most curious pieces of antiquity
in the country. The Emperor remarked that this
monument ought to be carefully preserved and
that it should be repaired, and generously pro-
mised to furnish the funds necessary for so doing.
On leaving the church, their Majesties were con-
ducted by the bishop to the salle d'asile, and the
children on their entering raised a cry of Vive
le Prince Imperial !' Mlle. Forcamidan one
of the lady patronesses, and daughter of
the mayor of Luz, presented the Empress with a
handsome bouquet, and the young girls executed a
cantata. The Emperor is said to have observed
that the building was not sufficiently commodious,
and testified his intention of having one built more
suitable to the wants of the town. A violent
storm prevailed during the whole of Sunday night.
On Monday morning, although the weather con-
tinued unfavourable, the Empress was conveyed to
the thermal establishment in a sedan-chair, in the
style of the last century, richly gilt and orna-
mented. In the afternoon, their Majesties went
out for a walk, but the bad weather compelled
them to make their excursion shorter than it would
othe;•wise have been."

ment being able to go on without having recourse
to a new loan."

The result of the new system of Government is
;hus described:—

" Colonel Cipriani, from the first day of his in-
stallation as extraordinary commissioner, succeeded
in acquiring great authority over the people, and
both he and his colleagues enjoy their entire con-
fidence. He is vigilant, active, and devoted, and
watches with unceasing care over the maintenance
of public tranquillity. He will not tolerate any
seditious cries, any open air speechifying, or un-
seasonable demonstration, and is at the same time
I'olitical Governor, and Prefect of Police of Ro-
magna. At the period of the legitimate Govern-
ment, that is to say, when 6,000 Austrians and
1,800 Sbirri occupied Bologna, the town and
country were infested with banditti and smug-
glers ; travellers were stopped in open day and
robbed at the very gates of the town, and even in
the town itself. People of fortune could not go to
their country houses without being stopped on the
road. When complaints of this state of things
were made to Cardinal Antonelli, the answer given
was It is not the bandits or the smugglers who
think of getting up revolutions.' Since the tem-
poral power of the Pope in Romagna has ceased,
and the Austrirn battalions have left, the bandit
has disappeared and the smuggler has become a
soldier. The road over the:Appenines has become as
safe as that from Paris to St. Cloud—no more
crimes, almost no more offences. The ' infamous'
revolution has cleared the roads and given security
to every one—a precedent which Cardinal Anto-
nelli will never forgive."
