the Irish in the United States was at the present
moment a source of serious embarrassment, and he
thought that if facilities for emigration to a dis-
trict which possessed abundanca of land for culti-
vating were afforded, much of the discontent now
existing would be removed. This does not appear
to us to be one of the strongest reasons for the pro-
posed settlement, as it is by no means certain that
the Irish already settled in America will remove
northwards for the sake of coming under English
rule. Another argument adduced by Sir 11. VER-
NEY, in support of his motion, was that, if the vast
district of Lake Superior were surveyed, it would
prove the most direct line of communication be-
tween Europe and Eastern Asia. Mr. ICINNAIRD,
who seconded the motion, observed that if any other
country had possessed this territory it would long
ago have been peopled, and that if, by a policy of
neglect, we lost these countries, our responsibility
would be serious. Mr. AYTOUN, on the other
hand, thought the scheme somewhat impracticable,
and dwelt a great deal on the difficulty of reaching
the territory : but the hon. member was regarding
the case rather as it is than as it might
be. If the country were settled, the ap-
pliances for reaching it would multiply, the
routes be simplified, and the difficulty of access
need certainly be no greater than to many popu-
lous settlements with which a constant communica-
tion is kept up. Mr. ADDERLEY, on behalf of the
Government, agreed in the general tenour of Sir
H. VERNEY'S remarks, but demurred to the ap-
pointment of a Comrnisssion, since they had already
uviALLUCtill, ILILVILLICavavu.

ter was, he said, the possession of the country by a
great company whose rights obstructed the settle-
ment of the region. The first thing to be done was
to settle with the Hudson's Bay Company, and
negotiations were i❑ progress with Canada for the
assumption of the government of the country,
and though the prorogation of the Canadian
Parliament had for a time delayed the question,
he believed it to be in course of rapid settlement to
general satisfaction. The British Government
could not therefore take any active steps in the
matter, but must wait for these preliminary
arrangements. We are glad to find, however, that
Mr. ADDERLEY expressed himself fully satisfied of
great importance of the territory and of the
necessity which exists for its settlement. " The
world," he said very justly, " was going on so fast
that it was impossible this great district of country
could remain much longer a fur-hearing wilder-
Lord MILTON, who has himself tra-
versed the country, and published an account of his
impressions, spoke strongly of the imperative
necessity of immediate action. The question was,
he said, no longer of the more or less difficulty of
maintaining a road, but whether England wished
to keep in their present state of loyalty the colonies
of the Pacific. These have at present no direct
means of communication. They derive their food
from the United States, and are beginning, not un-
naturally, to talk about joining them. They have
ground fcr complaint, too, in the unsettled state of
things, because every year adventurous Americans
go up during the fine season to work the gold
mines, and thus the staple value of the territory is
being worked out without profit to the colonists.
The noble lord spoke highly of the value of the
territory, declaring the belt of fertile land to be
quite equal to Minnesota, and we hope the earnest
reiteration of his opinion formed on the spot will
have weight with our authorities.

.1 judged rightly in attributing no ?ortance to M.
Rouher's mention of " next year" whenerring on Satur-
day to the elections. The Minister hken interrogated
upon this matter in the Corps Legisla by M. Gamier
Pages, and in reply M. Rouher sainat be meant to
say clans sin temps prochain, not Cam prochaine; i.e.,
6. soon" instead of next year; for the rigl)f dissolving was
the prerogative of the Emperor. Tlexplanation was
very little satisfactory to the Oppositioand is very little
creditable to the Government. The eharer is retained in a
state of uncertainty in order that the Gsrnment may use
all its immense influence to prepare thvay for carrying
its own candidates, the Opposition beingll the while kept
in the dark.

M. Pinard's defence against the chargf being a"show"
Minister was very warm and angry. He Mon dieu-ed,
appealed to his past services, and wad very indignant
at the thought that he could ever sub to hold an office
in which he was not supported by hi colleagues. M.
Emile 011ivier's reply was very cos but also very
sarcastic. He said :" I have no doubthat the Minister
is ' oratorically ' true, and that he belves what he has
said. But how about the facts ? Them at least a con-
tradiction between what you say and wat you do. Any-
how, unity is absent. If it exists bets en you and your
subordinates, it does not exist betwen your words and
your deeds. Make your choice."

The papers mention that Prince Tapoleon, who is
travelling under the nom de voyage of Count de Meudon,
has been received by the Emperor of Austria with the
utmost empressement. Tho Emperor calld upon his visitor
at his hotel, has given him a grand dinntr, and has shewn
him every attention. The Prince has h4d frequent inter-
views with Count Audrassy, chief of the Hungarian
Ministry. He is going not only to Pesth, but also to
Prague. It remains to be seen if he will he as well re-
ceived by the Czechs as he is sure to be by the Magyars.
kßop...nr. _constant, telezranbic communication with
cypher. The Prince's visit is not exciting so much
notice as his recent journey. Nevertheless, in Russia it is
looked upon with great suspicion. The St. Peters-
burg Golos publishes au article so violent that the
French papers will not venture to reproduce the whole of
it. The portion which they do translate asserts that the
object of the Prince's journey is to connect the Eastern
question with the Polish, so that both may be raised at
the same time, in the hope of embarrassing Russia. The
Golos prophesies that if Austria takes any part in this
conspiracy it will be she that will suffer, and predicts
that the Austrian Empire will be broken up into two or
three fragments, and that the House of Hapsburg will fall
irretrievably.
The relations between France and Italy grow more and
more unfriendly. The Gazzetta di Torino, an influential
journal, has been seized at Paris for containing a violent
article against the French Government. It is even said
that the contingency of war between the two countries is
ft; ly contemplated, and that staff officers of the French and
of the Italian army are inspecting simultaneously the
frontiers of the two countries, with an eye to hostilities.
One word more about the races. It is noticed as a
curious circamstance that of the six races which have
been run since the Grand Prix was established, three have
been won by French and three by English horses.
Vermouth, Gladiateur, and Fervacques won in '64,
65, and '67 ; The Ranger, Ceylon, and The Earl won
in '63, '66, and '6B. Only one of the six—Gladiatenr—
has won the Derby or the Two Thousand Guineas.
The three English winners began their successes
by winning the Biennial Stakes at Newmarket. The
Marquis of Hastings is reported to have.netted £280,000 on
Sunday, besides the prize and the stakes, which amount to
£5,000. During the race there was a tolerably hearty
quarrel between an Irish gentleman named Edgeworth
and a French gentleman named Boulay. Mr.
Edgeworth had a carriage, and M. Boulay persisted
in putting his child into it against the owner's consent.
Angry words followed, then a challenge from the French-
man to come down and fight, which was speedily accepted,
to the great discomfiture of the Gaul, who was felled by
two scientißc blows from the- Milesian. The crowd then
interfered, and shouting "a bas les Anglais," attacked
the descendant of the famous writer of " Moral Tales,"
and, dragging him beneath his horses, gave him a some-
what severe punishment.
The report of the " Society of the Prince Imperial " has
just been published. This society was founded by the
Empress some seven years ago, in order to lend money to
young workpeoplc below 18 years of age for the purchase
of tools and other matters connected with their employ-
ments, and to afford them relief in time of sick-
ness.

The association has grown rapidly, and the last
report skews that its resources are over £BO,OOO, and that
during the year ending March 31, 1868, 3,060 loans for
nearly £50,000 were male in the deplrtment of the Seine
alone. In the other departments there were loans made
to about £6,000. The income of the society is derived
from subscriptions, some of whom pay 100 f. (24) once for
all, some 10f. a year, and from the weekly deposits of 10
centimes (about ld.) from the children associates.

THE OUTRAGE IN TIIE CITY.

Arthur Forrester Smith, 14, and his brother, Hector
Augustus Smith, 12, were placed at the bar at the Central
Criminal Court charged with assaulting Mary Ann Nunn
with intent to do grievous bo dil y hann. Both prisoners pleaded
guilty. The Clerk of Arraigns inquired if they understood the
nature of the charge, and whether they intended to plead
guilty to intending to do the prosecutrix grievous bodily
harm. Mr. Jonas, Governor of Newgato, said he understood
from the prisoners that they were to be defended by counsel.
Ur Besley said that ho was instructed, with his learned
friend, Mr. Poland, to conduct the prosecution, and he be-
lieved ho should have to make an application, upon affi-
davits, for -the postponement of the trial to the next ses-
sion. Under these circumstances it would probably not
be necessary to require the prisoners to plead at present,
and they would be afforded an opportunity of communi-
cating with their legal adviser. The Recorder said it
would certainly be advisable that the prisoners should under-
stand what they were required to do, and the case had bettor,
therefore, stand over for the present. The prisoners, who
could hardly be seen behind the front of the dock from the
Boor of the court, and who appeared to be perfectly uncon-
cerned, were then removed.
