" The news of an approaching interview be-
tween the Emperor Napoleon 111. and King Wil-
liam I. gives serious importance to the unionist
tendencies of Germany, of which Becker's crime
was an evident consequence. For a longtime past,
the Revolutionists have been exciting Prussia to
become the Piedmont of Germany ; they are endea-
vouring to dazzle Portugal with the same hopes ;
and, without doubt, they do so in virtue of the new
logic which has overthrown the old and changed the
terms of the axiom Major pars trahit ad se minorem.
At that rate France has everything to fear from
Belgium, which some day might be disposed to make
annexations. But for the moment we speak only of
Germany. It is desired that the King of Prussia shal I
take the direction of the German revolutionary move-
ment, and what Becker said in a brutal way, the
.National Verein or National Society has repeated
in more becoming terms in its meeting at Dantzic.'
The writer then gives at length the resolutions
voted, and terminates his remarks with a compari-
son between Prussia and Piedmont, which is about
one of the most forced and far fetched we ever re-
member, given in any serious journal. It runs thus :
"The position of Prussia has a great analogy
s
with that of Piedmont. Prussia, aProtestant Power,
is naturally hostile to the Roman Catholic Church ;
than ten Piedmont,
years, a R ran
been
Piedmont had Savoy ; Prussia, has the Rhenish
Provinces. The revolutionists d esire.to take advan-
tage of the situation of Prussiais similar to that of
a the Catholicenemy Power,. o
f the
has,a m Church. for more
Piedmont ; but it remains to be seen if William 1.
will be pleased to play the part of Victor Emmanuel,
and if Europe, duly warned, will allow to be done
in Germany what is permitted to be done in Italy."

memorials and monuments were erected over the
graves of those brave heroes by hearts sorrowful
and dejected, who dropped the tear of true friend-
ship and sympathy over their lost comrades, but
the ravages of time had made serious inroads upon
the enclosures and monuments, which I have lately
endeavoured to restore as far as possible ; and now,
Sir, allow me through you most sincerely to thank
the officers and friends of the British Army who
have been pleased to bestow this munificent testi-
monial upon me; and, Sir, I assure you as long as
life lasts it shall be my most cherished possession,
and shall ever remind me of the generous donors
and their esteemed appreciation of my best endea-
vours to restore the cemeteries and monuments that
protect the last sad resting places of your lamented
countrymen.

" After a residence of several years here I cannot
better express myself on this city of ruins and the
sacred resting places of the dead around than by
quoting the words of the most celebrated corres-
pondent of the English press :

" ' In times to come this Cathcart's-hill will be a
chosen terminus of Saxon pilgrimage. Whether
the traveller beholds from its humble parapet the
fair aspect of the Imperial city guarded by three-
fold mightier batteries than before, or sits upon the
cemetery wall to gaze upon the ruins of Sebastopol,
he must, if he has any British blood in his veins,
regard with emotion that little spot which encloses
all that was mortal of some of the noblest soldiers
that ever sprang from our warrior race. He will
see the site of those tedious trenches where the
stron 6 man waxed weak day after day, and where
the British soldier fought through a terrible winter,
with privation, cold, frost, and rain—more terrible
and deadly than the fire of the enemy.' "
