Mr. LOCKE'S motion proves that they have vastly
overrated the force of the advocates for " a bitter
observance of the Sabbath." They had promised
him assistance, and we have seen the sort
of assistance they have rendered him. It,
therefore, becomes doubly necessary that the great
majority cf the people should exert themselves, should
show their real strength if they do not wish to be
ridden over roughshod by a noisy, bigotted, fanatical
minority, whose congregational organization gives
them peculiar facilities for carrying out their selfish
object, and for propagating the grossest misre-
presentations in support of their views. The
arrogant assertion of exclusive righteousness on
the part of these Sabbatarians would be amusing from
its absurdity, were it not disgusting for its bigotry.
One " of the illustrious obscure," who attended the
deputation to the Marquis of CLARRICARDE yesterday,
eoolly arrogated to himself and his clique
the exclusive possession of morality, and deemed all
public writers who were opposed to his narrow and
sectarian views as being wanting in a high moral
tone—this person evidently sympathises with the
fanatic who addresses the " Cursing Letter" to
Mr. Locxa, and it is only want of power
that prevents such persons from condemning to the
stake all who venture to differ from them in
opinion. It is amusing to hear the manner in
which certain Sabbatarian newsvenders, who
attended this deputation, propose to deal with
the valuable property of those persons through
whose exertions these very men live, and move,
and have their being. We would remind
these gentlemen that if there were no newspapers
there would be no newsvenders, and that if
they destroy the circulation of the Sunday
papers they will at the same time destroy their own
profits : they may perhaps eventually find that they will
have to pay too dear for their Sabbatarian whistle.
It is, however, a mere selfish faction of the great and
respectable body of newsvenders who are thus acting,
and who seek to injure the Sunday newspapers in
order to benefit themselves at the expense of their col-
leagues, by forcing a circulation for certain journals,
miscalled newspapers—

Ut lucus a non lucendo—

because they contain no news—an attempt, however,
which must necessarily prove unsuccessful,- as those
who are accustomed to receive their Sunday news-
paper, conveying to them intelligence up to
the very latest hour, will not be content
to substitute for it a " stamped sermon."
The Sala batarians are reckless and untiring, the
Ministry is:made of squeezable materials ; behoves it
then that we be active also, and apply the
pressure in the right direction. Let every
individual elector who feels himself aggrieved
(and who does not ?) by the abolition of
the Sunday delivery write a letter to his
representative, calling upon him to do his utmost
as a Member of Parliament to bring about a
restoration of the old system; and let him also ad-
dress a letter to the Prime Minister to the same
effect, stating therein that he is an elector. If this
be done speedily there cannot be a doubt but that the
Suaday delivery will be as speedily restored.

Sir Thomas Wilde has been appointed Lord
Chancellor. He will for the present fulfil the duties
of the office in Court and in the House of Lords, but
he will ultimately be appointed solely to the duties of
the Lords. He takes office subject to all arrange-
ments. It is understood that Sir J. Jervis, the
present Attorney. General, will succeed Sir T. Wilde
as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and that Sir
John Romilly will be appointed Attorney- General.
It is confidently expected that Mr. Cockburn will
succeed Sir John Romilly as Solicitor- General.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
It is said that the Legitiniatists intend to cele-
brate St. Henry's day, the We day of the
Duke of BOURDEAUX with great solemnity. The
authorities have issued the following notice on the
subject :-
6. The authorities are informed that at this moment a
banquet and a high mass are in course of preparation
for Bt. Henry's-cay, and that invitations to attend have
been addressed to several persons. The Prefect of Pc,-
lice apprises those persons who have been invited, that
manifestations of this nature are forbidden."

St. Henry's-day is celebrated on the 15th of July.
The discussion on the Law of the Press was re-
sumed in the Assembly on Wednesday, after a vain
attempt on the part of M. CREMIEUX to record a pro-
test against the conduct of the President DuPIN for
refusing to call to order the Minister ROUIIER who
characterized the revolution of February, 1848,
as a funeste catastrophe. In the course of the dis-
cussion M. LEO DE LABORDE declared that he consi-
dered the absolute legitimate monarchy the best mode
of government, but that as he could not obtain that,
he should maintain the Republic as the next best.
1.1. VICTOR HUGO spoke most eloquently against the
measure. In the course of his speech he denounced
in eloquent and truthful terms the machinations of
the parti-pretre. He said the real revolutionists
were the absolutists and reactionists, the apologists of
the Jesuits and the Inquisition (pointing to M.
MONTALEMBERT), of that diabolical sect who, after
preaching the murder of kings, now preached
the murder of nations, who mixed maxims of
death with those of the Gospel, and poisoned
the holy water urn. He then proceeded to taunt
them with seeking support from the Voltarians who
laughed at them, and from the Jew bankers whom
they would fain commit to the flames. During the
course of the discussion M. RounEn, the Minister
who the day before had insulted the Republic, at-
tempted to address the Assembly. He was met with
loud cries of " order" from the Members of the Left,
which prevented him from proceeding. M. DUPIN,
the President, was excited to a pitch of fury by the
determination of the Left to insist on an apology from
M. ROUIIER, and exclaimed, "M. MIOT, I have
seen you interrupting several times." This sally
from the impartial and trustworthy President pro.
duced shouts of laughter ; M. MIOT had not been
present during any portion of the sitting. The noise
still continued, and tired with shouting, but determined
that M. Itounza should not be heard until he bad apolo-
gised, the opposition left their seats one by one, and re-
tired at intervals of a minute each, every one slamming
the door violently after him. As there are 225 Mem-
bersof the Left, this proceeding effectually burked
ROUEIER, and the Assembly adjourned.
_

It appears that at a Council,- hell at the Elyt,ee in
the morning, it had been determined, on the advice
of M. BAROCHE, that M. ROUHER should not
apologise.
General BOYER, the late President of Hayti, died
in Paris on Tuesday.

The differences between General D'iIAUTPOUL and
General CHANGARINIER have become so serious, that
the resignation of the former has become inevitable.

The Bavarian Chamber has reduced the army esti-

MALTA AND THE lONIAN ISLES.

The cholera has made its appearance at Malta. A
Malta paper publishes the following from Corfu :
" From Corfu the news is not unimportant. Some of
the members in the House of Assembly had proposed to
annex the lonian Islands to GreEce—to abolish certain
powers possessed by his Excellency the Lord High Com-
missioner in employing the police force, and to cut down
the salaries of the Government employes, particularly
the English, to a mere nothing. The consequence of
these incidents has been that his Excellency Sir Henry
George Ward
, Lord High Commissioner, on tho 12th
June,. issued a proclamation, proroguing the first ses-
sion of the present nioth Parliament until the 12th De-
cember,ana a special messenger was immediately sent
to England, with dispatches to the Colonial Minister."

ITALY.
A letter from Rome, of the 30th ult., in the Unicn,
says:—

--1` A circumstance has occurred here which has caused
a great impression on those who witnessed

the faults of his predecessors to be somewhat forgotten,
and lam assured that Pius IX., in his inexhaustible
bounty, was disposed not to issue an anathema against a
King so devoted to the Church and to the Sovereign
Pontiff ; but the cardinals whom he consulted were of
opinion that the usage ought not to be abandoned, and
that the only arm which the Church possesses for the
defence of her temporal domain ought not to bo allowed
