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 Sabbatarians 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 Pieas, and that Sir
John Romilly will be appointed Attorney- General.
I: 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 LQgitimatists intend to cele-
brate St. Henry's day, the fete day of the
Duke of BOURDEAUX with great solemnity. The
authorities have issued the following notice on the
subject : .

'7The authorities are infurmed that at this moment a
banquet and a high mass are in course of preparation
far 6t. Henry's-cay, and that invitations to attend have
been addressed to several persons. The Be!ect of Pe-
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 ROUHER 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.
M. VICTOR litrco 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 cf
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. ROURER, 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. ROUHER, 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 bad not been
present during any portion of the sitting. The noise
still continued, and tired with shouting, but determined
that M. RouilEß should not be heard until he had 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 M.
RouriEß, and the Assembly adjourned.
It appears that at a Council, held at the Elysee in
the morning, it had been determined, on the advice
of M. BAROCRE, that M. ROUHER should not
apologise.
General BOYER, the late President of Hayti, died
in Paris on Tuesday.
The differences between General D'HAErrouL and
General CHANGARNIER 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 the 12th
June, issued a proclamation, proroguing the first ses-
sion of the present ninth Parliament until the 12th De-
cember, and a special messenger was immediately sent
to England, with dispatches to the Colonial Minister."

A letter from Rome oft he 30th ult., in the Union,
