monstrated by the most satisfactory and unquestion-
able tests.

It is estimated that nearly one-seventh of the entire
area of Ireland consists of bog land, thus opening a
wide field of industrial occupation for the people, and
an almost inexhaustible source of profitable invest-
ment for the capitalist. We have no doubt the mil-
lionnairer of England will seize the golden opportu-
nity, and, while enriching themselves, confer blessings
upon the unemployed poor of Ireland, and the most
serious advantages on the empire.

We would fain draw the attention of our readers
to a report, copied from the Kent Herald, which ap-
pears in another column, of the Introductory Lec-
ture delivered at the opening of the Ashford
Mechanics' Institution by the Rev. Jolts DHETON,
M.A., Rector of Warehorn. The purpose of the lec-
ture was, as stated by the Reverend Lecturer, to
explain the objects of such institutions, for the pur-
pose of meeting the scruples of those who had ex-
pressed doubts as to the real utility of such an insti-
tution at Ashford. It certainly does not say much
for either the wisdom or learning of the " respect-
ables" of Ashford that a lecture for such a purpose
should have been at all necessary, and but for the tes-
timony of the Rev. JOHN DurroN, we certainly
should have doubted the existence of such obscuran-
tists. The arguments of all such have, however,
been met, and well met, by the Rev. Gentleman ; and
we trust he will publish his lecture in extenso, as a
text book for those who may have to combat the ob-
scurantists of other localities who would still deny
education to the people.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Ordre publishes the following, it is signed by
M. DE CHAMBOLLE, a Member of the Committee of
Permanence :
" The demonstrations, the attempts, and the acts which
have for some time past caused serious uneasiness to the
country, are at length come to a stop. Several of the
Ministers, themselves moved at certain facts which they
could not prevent, felt that it was time to secure their
responsibility. In order to modify the inconceivable
measure relative to General Neumayer, and on which no
other explanation can be brought forward, or at least
sustained, than that which we have given, and to obtain
the assurance that other acts of the same nature should
not take the public by surprise, they considered that
they were bound to tender their resignations. This re-
signation could not be accepted without the rupture of
the Executive Power with the Assembly being definitely
accomplished, and in some measure proclaimed, and
it did not take place. It was this only, it is said, which
prevented the removal of General Forest, who has long
been charged with the command of the brigade which is
more particularly entrusted with watching over the safety
of the Assembly. Report has even gone so far as to say
that his successor was to have been Colonel d'Alphonse,
whose regiment came to Paris after the reviews of Ver-
sailles, at the same time that the 4th regiment of the
line, in consequence of an unforeseen change, received
orders to leave Paris. Such a fact, if realised after the
removal of General Neumayer, would have been clearly
equivalent to the dismissal of General Changarnier. It
was this dismissal without the frankness of the act. An
immediate conflict would probably have taken place be-
tween the two powers. This conflict may now be con-
sidered as adjourned, and we think there will be no seri-
ous fear of it so long as the present Cabinet shall re-
main at its post. We may even expect to see the next
session opened by a pacific and perfectly constitutional
message, if no sudden change takes place between this
and the I Ith November."

Ths Journal des likats gives the following ac
count of the sitting of the Permanent Committee yes
terday

" The Minister of the Interior was the only member
of the Cabinet present. It is affirmed that M. Baroche,
when interrogated as to the motives which had led to
the removal of General Neumayer, did not consider it is
duty to enter into explanations relative to an act accom-
plished by the Executive power, within the limit of its
right, but gave some details as to the present state of
affairs. Be is said to have given the most positive as-
surances that the Government never thought of any dis-
missal in the army in Paris, nor of any measure of s
nature to diminish the authority of the General in-
Chief, or of the Generals under his orders. The Com-
mittee, not thinking it necessary to hasten the period of
the meeting of the Assembly, has charged four of its
members to enter on the minutes of its proceedings the
explanations given by the Minister of the Interior."
The Univers has a furious attack on the Duchess of
ORLaANs; she is denounced as a " heretic who has
neither Bourbon, nor French, nor Catholic blood in
her veins," and all the misfortunes of the House of
Orleans are by the priestly writer of this article de-
clared to be judgments on the princes of that House
for having suffered the marriage of the Duke of OR-
LEANS with a Protestant.

It is said that General CIIANGARNIER will, on the
meeting of the Assembly, resign the command of the
army of Paris._

The Consiliateur of Rennes announces that the
body of a young woman, supposed to have been one
of the passengers of the Superb, has been found on
the beach of Cancale. The following details may
be theful for identification :—The body having
been examined by Dr. LEBEURIER, of Cancale, is
that of a woman of from 20 to 25 years of age,
presumed to be English. Death was produced by
submersion, and no mark of violence was visible.
The clothes appeared to be such as are used by per-
sons of the better class. Her linen, which was very
fine, was marked with the initials "N. E. H.,"
No. 28. A small cloth purse was found in the
pocket of the gown containing 70f. or 75f. Five
small keys, attached to a ring, were also found in the
pockets. _

Among the arrests that have been made at Mar-
seilles is that of M. TROUREL, a barrister at Aix,
who defended one of the accused tried by the High
Court of Versailles.
Yesterday, being All Saints' Day, was observed as
a holiday at the Bourse.
