THE FRENCH CHAMBER.
j
CHAMBER.
The following is the address, 0:"4"..„...441
read in the Chamber of Deputies on- ro ect of address,
11 .!sdaY, inan-
swer to the speech from the Throne:—
" Sire-When the Chamber of Deputies has sew Y°2
o
surmount the grief which overwhelms you, in order
come amongst us, seeking consolation as a father and ful-
filling your duty as King, it felt that you offered it a
great example. The emotion of heart and force of soul
which conduct you into the bosom of the people, bring
now the representatives of the people about you. You
have lost a son: France has lost a reign.
" Providence compels you to bless it still, in sparing
you the sons left to you. The great qualities of the
deceased Prince require no other eulogium than the void
between two reigns left by his death. History takes
count of hopes ; it has its justice independent of fate.
The Prince will have his place marked in history, by
the tears of a nation. Yes ; the entire nation, asso-
ciated in the mourning of the King and the sentiments
of the father. It inclines before the mother, which it
does not endeavour to console. It adopts this Princess
to whom her widowhood has left, for throne and coun-
try, only the tomb of a husband, and the future prp-
spects of her children.

" If we sum up in our sentiments the grief of a people
which joins the Royal Family in grief, do we not also
represent that imperishable nation which bends under no
catastrophe, and which regards all human things under
the point of view of their perpetuity ? We must sum-
mon our sangfroid and our iinpassabilite to examine, as
Deputies, the measures necessary for the continuity and
regular exercise of the Royal authority during the mi-
nority of the heir to the throne.
" Sire ! People have a soul, and feel their afflictions;
as well as kings. But their trials, however severe, shal
never find France unprovided with prudence, patriotism
and firmness. France lives in her institutions. The
great national sentiments form the national force. France
desires to be free, strong, and eternal. Each cry which
menaces, whatever shakes it, France grows still greater,
and becomes stronger in itself. It is fine to see a great
people bow religiously under the hand of God, and after
having worn mourning and closed the tomb opened so
near the throne, resume the task interrupted by Death,
preserve its faith in the future, and complete its in-
stitutions."

An elegantly dressed young woman had been ob-
served for some time by the police to frequent all places
where there was a crowd of respectable persons. She was
frequently seen at the Louvre on a Sunday, and at the
stations of the railroads. On Sunday, when the crowd
were taking their places in the queue to visit Notre Dame,
a police agent saw her standing near a well-dressed
woman, and determined to watch her proceedings. After
a time he saw her glide her hand into the pocket of her
neighbour, and withdraw it the moment after rapidly but
with precaution, a sure sign that she bad taken something.
The agent arrested her, and took her before the
Com-
missary of Pollee, where she cried out loudly against the
manner in which she was treated. She presented a pass-
port delivered at Egreville (Seine-et-Marne), in the name
of Louise Marianne At --, but without designating any
place of residence. She had, she said, arrived in Paris
the preceding day, but refused to say where she had
passed the night, declaring that family reasons prevented
her speaking of it. A considerable sum of money was
found in her possession. She was placed in confinement
provisionally, to,give time for inquiries.
The Phare of Cherbourg states that a dreadful ac-
cident took place at the fort of Hommet on the 25th inst.,
when the cannons were fired off for the funeral service of
the Duke of Orleans. Two artillerymen of the 10th
company of veterans were loading a 36-pounder, when
the touch -hole having been badly stopped, , and a piece of
wadding having remained unextinguished in cleaning the
piece, the gun went off, and carried away the right hand
bf one of them, and the left of the other, who was, be-
sdes, seriously injured in the side and hip. The man
who lost his right hand has undergone amputation of the
arm. .

PouLToN.—The wheat harvest has commenced in
our neighbourhood, and a few pieces of wheat have
been cut in Staining. There is every prospect of an un-
usually early harvest, and the crops are likely to be
better than was hoped for by the most sanguine of our
agriculturists a few weeks ago. Should the weather
prove favourable, we anticipate a full average crop of all
kinds of grain. The moss corn presents a most luxu-
riant aspect, and the produce of potatoes is likely to be
immense.— Preston Chronicle.

THE Pope's COUNCIL. The Papal Calendar,
published at Rome, has just appeared for -the year. Ac-
cording to it, the Pope will complete his seventy-seventh
year on the next anniversary of his birth-day (Sept. 18),
in the eleventh year of his Papacy. There are at present
sixty Cardinals, at least this is the number put down for
the college. There are six Cardinal-bishops, forty-three
Cardinal-priests, and eleven Cardinal-deacons. Russi,
the oldest Cardinal, is eighty-seven; and Sehwartzen-
burgh, the youngest, is thirty-three. The ages of all,
the Cardinals make 8,580 years, the average of which is
above fifty-nine.
