PUBLIC OPINION.

The Chronicle, in reference to the honour conferred
on the French Consul at Barcelona, says—" We are
acquainted with the secret of M. Lcsseps' hasty pro-
motion to the rank of officer of the Legion of Honour.
This was the special and personal act of the King ; an
act which his Ministers durst not gainsay, though they
thought it rash. And we could designate a house and
a society of French Ministerialists, where this coup de
tete of Louis Philippe was stigmatised as rash and un-
constitutional. The fact is, that the whole affair of
Barcelona, and of the general movement intended in
Catalonia, was known to the French Court, and un-
known to M. Guizot. It was managed by the French
Home-office and its alients, unknown to the French
Foreign-office. The } reuch frontier police played a
notable part in the business. The French telegraph
sufficiently spoke the hopes and mortification of Gene-
ral Castellane. M. Lesseps did his bidding with zeal,
and he was rewarded for it. Having here touched upon
a subject which we do not often permit ourselves to do,
viz., the personal interference of King Louis Phi-
lippe in politics—we cannot quit it without expressing
regret, profound regret, to find a monarch, so pacific
in the early days of his reign, now abandon himself;
towards its close, to a succession of schemes, any one
of which is enough to set Europe on fire. One of
these schemes is the absorption of Belgium by France,
first, in a commercial sense ; but this merely is a
prelude to political absorption. Whilst all French
statesmen stand aghast at such hardihood and at its
consequences, the King, and the King alone, pressed
it, careless and defiant of risk. The same restless and
quarrelsome spirit actuates Louis Philippe towards
Spain. He has a personal hatred for Espartero, a
hatred which he is determined to indulge by every means
and at every hazard. And if the Liberals are fools
enough, and influenced enough to fan French jealousy
of Spain, and to aid him in his design, Louis Philippe
will go the length of a military invasion of the Peninsula.
Two or three times has he been on the point of dis-
missing M. Guizot for interposing, like Talleyrand of
old, his grave and dissuasive counsel in this matter.
If Louis Philippe was the personage five years back
to be most depended on for keeping peace, there is on
the contrary, now no potentate more likely to break
it. The loss of the Duke of Orleans, instead of ren-
dering him more circumspect, more careful of the
prospects of his dynasty, has infused a kind of des-
perate current into his thoughts, which his oldest
friends are puzzled to account for. Of recent Spanish
news the French Ministerial papers assure us, that
the Republican Terradas keeps up his band in the
Lampourdan, and that Colonel Prim is endeavouring
to raise the Campo de Tarragona. It is, perhaps, for
the purpose of intercepting the daughters and family
of Captain-General Van Haien that the French
Consul despatched them to so safe a place of refuge."
The Herald says, in an article on prison discipline :
—" While the Magistrates of Middlesex are congratu-
lating each other upon the prospect of a considerable
reduction in the cost of prosecuting and punishing
crime, the Magistrates of other counties are bewailing
its rapid increase, and casting about for devices to
arrest it. This proves, if such a maxim of every.
day life requires proof, that the best management is
always the cheapest. In the House of Correction for
Middlesex, the prisoners enjoy comparative plenty,
but they also, in a still greater degree, enjoy good
health. In the same prison an able practitioner, whose
liberal salary ensures his constant attention, keeps dis-
ease at bay by being everpresent to grapple with it, while
in Gloucestershire the periodical visits of a medical
officer at ten pounds a year—and ' surpassing rich' at
twenty—cannot prevent it from running riot ; and
the miserable savings which accrue from the fre-
quency of deaths do not compensate for an ever-
crowded sick-list. It is the same in diet, in disci-
pline, in everything connected with the economy of a
prison ; for parsimony is not always economy in a
prison, any more than it is elsewhere, to say nothing
of the penny wisdom and pound folly of first convert-
ing a casual pauper into a criminal, and then render-
ing him, by the emaciating regimen of a prison, a help-
less pauper for life. The present penny is saved to
the county rate, and the pound ultimately paid out of
the poor-rate."
We take the following from the Post :—" The re •
presentatives of the deceased faction which, under the
name of Whig was, during its lifetime, so long a
nuisance to the country, feel a moody, melancholy
satisfaction in witnessing what their disturbed ima-
ginations take for symptoms of dissolution' amongst
the triumphant Tories. Because Conservative
journalists assert and exercise the right of thinking
and speaking for themselves on questions affecting the
political vitality of the empire, it is coolly alleged that
Government must be on the brink of ruin—that its
supporters are disorganised—disaffected—on the eve
of ' open rebellion' against Ministers. Sheer imper-
tinence all this. Conservative journalists cannot rebel
against a Minister to whom they have never owed
any allegiance, except that which was demanded by
the principles to which they believed him friendly.
Their remonstrances against such portions of his po-
licy as do not meet their approbation are more ho-
nourable to him, and to them, than could be any mere
servile indiscriminate adulation, that should look to
what was to be, instead of to what ought to be. The
independent tone of the Ministerial press proves, on
the one hand, that the Government of the, day, if
mistaken in some of its measures, is honest and con-
scientious in its adoption of them—else why maintain
the ' even tenor of its way,' malgre the not unfre-
quent expressions of dissatisfaction that proceed from
its sincere friends; and, again, there can be no more
telling testimony to the general character of the Ad-
ministration than the frank and manly support of
those, who, by the strong and emphatic manner in
which they condemn whatever appears to them to be ob-
jectionable, must clearly evince that soul-felt con-
viction is the actuating rule by which alone they are
influenced."

The Times contains the following observations :
" There is something not at all unamusing in the
enormous variety of suggestion, abuse, menace, and
sarcasm, of advice, economical, legal, agricultural,
and scientific, with which the brains of the unhappy
farmers are at present being bombarded. People
who know about as much of farming as the agricul-
turists do about spherical trigonometry are discharging
nostrum after nostrum in stunning succession upon
the heads of these devoted classes. Poor men !
they have quite enough to do in speculating on
that great revolution which has already taken
place, and the greater one which is rolling down
upon them to sweep off those restrictive laws on
which they rely for protection to their industry.
Long leases, large farms, new manures, two-horse
ploughs, fresh enclosures, wholesale drainings, and a
host of other specifics, are shot forth at random by
any writer or speaker who has education enough to
read the leading article of a Scotch newspaper, or
the title 'draining' in a penny cyclopmdia. A lite-
rary gentleman who has never realised sixpence from
an acre of his own, or, it may be, has never been far
enough from Mile-end to have seen with his own eyes
the piece of machinery commonly called a plough,
thinks himself quite competent to lecture the whole
host of practical agriculturists of England upon the
muddiness of their brains, the clumsiness of their ex-
pedients, their lack of enterprise, and misdirection of
capital. Lcing leases are one great specific by which
the English farmer is suddenly to be inspired with all
the sharpness and energy of a Manchester manufac-
turer—which are to make him feed up his horses,
lighten his ploughs, and import bone-dust."

MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE.
A numerous meeting of the advocates of free trade
was held on Tuesday at the Marquis of Granby
tavern, Grosvenor-square, when it was resolved to
form a branch association to be called " The South
Audley-street Anti-Corn-law Association."
maw AND POSICE.
The Admiralty Court awarded 1,2001. and cost

yesterday to the crew of three fishing smacks, for
salving the Louisa a French vessel, which was found
abandoned in the North Sea, with a cargo and pro-
perty to the amount of 4,0001.
The sum of 851. which had been awarded as pre-,
portion to the captain and crew, out of the sum at
5001., and the rest to the owners, for salvage services
done by the Copeland steam-tug to the Beulah, off
Dover, was adjudged, upon a reapplication, to be
divided rateably among the first parties, according to
the amount of wages received.

FINE ARTS.
A meeting of the members of the Living Model
Academy took place on Monday evening, among

Robert Inglis, M.P., and several persons of distinc-
tion, were present. The Latin lyrics by, Mr. Brien,
and a Latin prose translation from Hume s History of
England, by Mr. Vincent, gained the prizes.
THEATRICAL.
Miss Murray, whose decease was stated in The Suit
of Tuesday, first appeared at the Olympic during the
management of Madame Vestris. During the seasons
of 1833-4, she joined the Covent•garden and Drury-
lane theatres, then under the direction of Mr. Bunn,
and subsequently the Queen's Theatre, in the lessee -
ship of Mrs. Nisbett. Miss Murray then retired, and
did not again appear .in public till the last season at

THE RIGHT OF SEARCH.
rltPe following curious article is taken from the
(",°e_La Paris paper, patronised by M. Guizot
French vessel, the Universe], endeavouring to
I;i7 the Channel, was run athwart, during the
;.ritut of the 6th December, by an English cutter or
i,,,64te, sailing west. As there was but a gentle
qi`',2e and the sea calm, the two ships separated
,`llout injury, and each continued its route. Who
~1:41.4 believe that the Journal du Havre sees in this
is„,` one of the consequences of the right of search, in
as it says, that " the English commander con-
k tlicl his route, without even asking the Universe], if
Zits in want of anything, which proceeds from the
)Itent and brutal habits contracted by the English
titi°7 in visiting our ships on the coast of Africa!"

BALrouit's LECTURES.—This highly talented
latVelivered her last lecture at the Literary Insti-
y, Edward-street, Portman-square, on Monday
hg,
to a crowded and delighted audience. Her
bent course consisted of three lectures—on Pre-
ti e, Credulity, and the Female Sovereigns of
4Cile• It is difficult to describe the peculiar in-
It

theetual, yet popular in their character ; per-

sweetness of diction, and an admirable mo-
Y, that evidently delighted the intelligent audi-
-141,14t0 whom they were addressed. We rejoice to
het,
that Mrs. Balfour is as much distinguished for
41, rral excellencies and Christian principles, as for
1 'ntellectual capabilities ; and we are persuaded
qtr lectures cannot fail to exert an elevating and
lkit,t,ing influence on her own sex, who, indeed,
he truly proud of such an instructress.
ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday night an accident,
