lone since the date of his celebrated motion about the

be revealed within, at the small expense of sixpence,
would have supplied abundant scope for those high flights
of the imagination which jar so unpleasantly upon the
matter-of fact ears of the Premier and the Members of
the House of Commons. From the speech of the Right
Hon. Baronet at the head of her MAJESTY'S Govern-
ment in the House of Commons last night, descriptive of

the inventive powers of the llon. Member for Knares-
borough, it is clear to us that he is of the same opinion. If,
. _ _

then, Mr. FERRAND would achieve fame and fortune, let
him throw politics to the dogs, and seek an audience
whose applause would resound from pit to gallery. The
ho trds which rejected a BORTHWICK constitutes the only
fitting arena for the Forty-Clown GRIMALDI powers of a
FERRAND.

A squib fired by the celebrated TIMON (M. DE COIL..
MENIN) at the French Cabinet, in the shape of an ad-
dress to the electors of France, has set the whole French
press together by the ears. Its object is to show that
unless the SOULT-GUIZOT Cabinet be overthrown, a na-
tional bankruptcy is all but inevitable. The Commerce
concludes a long article upon it as follows :
To sum up the whole, the real deficit amounts to 2,408 mil-
lions, and all the possible resources to 1,594 millions, leaving a
deficit in 1855 of 814 millions. If to this be added the list of
extraordinary unforeseen expenses drawn up by M. de Corme-
nin, and of which we could easily prove the excessive modera-
tion, we shall have 550 millions more, giving for 1855, after
the loan shall have been expended. and all the reserves of the
sinking fuud absorbed, a deficit of 1,304 millions. We place
these calculations before the public and the electors; they are
incontestible, and need no comment.
The National also has a long article upon it, from
which we extract the concluding passage :
The maintenance of the present Government in power will
consummate our ruin. They cannot appeal to the future, for
they have discounted it for ten years to come. For our own
carts we combat the present Ministry and their friends, as we
opposed all those who have been in power since 1830, because
they are in reality only the organs of ideas injurious to France.
In the solemn trial which is about to take place it is the sys-
tem and not the men that must be overthrown. Viewed in
this light, the struggle extends beyond the narrow circle of
personalities, to which the Government Journals endeavour to
restrict it, and rises to the lofty proportions of general interest.
May the electors so understand the question, and make choice
of Deputies anxious to resolve it, by looking only at the interests,
the grandeur, and the prosperity of France.

The Debuts, alluding to the delay in publishing the expected
ordonnance for raising the duty on foreign linens and linen
threads, says :—" The linen manufacturers, not seeing the
ordonnance appear, are losing patience, and are ready to ex-
claim that the Government is deserting them. The principle
has been decided on, and it will, we are convinced, be soon
applied. Aid will be given to this branch of manufacture, but
the just resolution of the Government to this effect cannot ex-
clude making a combination, by which other branches of ma-
nufacture shall also be satisfied. To arrive at this result cer-
tainly, a few days delay are not be regretted, and we are per-
suaded that the solicitude of the Government for the commer-
cial and manufacturing interests of the country will be usefully
employed during the delay that is complained of."
W. have received by way of Marseilles and Toulon accounts
from Algiers of the 15th of this month. After six months
absence the Governor- General, with the troops employed in
the late expedition, arrived on the 9th at Blidah, and came to
Algiers on the 11th, accompanied by the officers of his staff.
On the following day he held a levee, at which the Bishops, the
Consuls, and Deputations from the several civil and military
authorities, came to congratulate him on the success of his re-
cent operations. The last expedition, of which the Moniteur
Aiyerien of the 15th gives a report, induced all the tribes
through whose territory it passed to make their submission.
This expedition (as we were informed by a telegraphic des-
patch) likewise induced the submission of all the Kabyles in-
habiting the northern declivity of Mount Atlas to the
Nletitija of the Beni-Menad, Soumata, Mouzaya, Beni-
Alesaoud, Beni-Salah, and Beni-Micera : and these tribes
have, it is said, desired that the ancient markets in the place
shall be re-established ; and there is every reason to believe
that in a short time they will come again to supply Algiers
with provisions.
:1 he column of the province of Oran, commanded by General
d'Arbonville, quitted the Mouzaya on the 14th to return to
the West. Two columns commanded by Generals Chan-
garnier and de Bar, were to set out on the 18th on a new ex-
peditionto the East of the Metidja. The Prince of Hesse, nephew
of the King of Denmark, arrived in the road of Algiers,
on the I Ith of June, on board the Danish frigate Thetis.
The salute fired by the frigate was answered by the batteries.
The Prince visited Algiers and the environs. The Thetis
sailed on the night of the 13th.— Constitutionncl.

A Tony :PREMIER'S IDEAS of TRASH.—In speaking
last night in the House of Commons on the New Poor-
law question, Sir Robert Peel observed Would it
be safe to return to the old system ? But it Was said
there was no necessity for returning to the old law.
It was said, trust the rate-payers ; they know the
character of the poor, and will be ready to afford them
relief; trust the people -of England, and all that trash!"
—So, it is mere trash, it seems, to talk of the kindly
t'( cling of the English people towards. their destitute
fellow-countrymen I They have it n.43--they know it

be based on this assumption. Eut if the hulk of the
English commonalty be really so heartless, that only

The Hon. Member for Knaresborough's Punch per
formances in Parliament threaten serious injury to the
lessees of the London Theatres. The play-going world
of former seasons is now to be mat about five o'clock
every evening the House is sitting, wending down Par-
liament-street, crossing Westminster-bridge, and hurry-
ing along Bird• Cage-walk from Buckingham Palace,
each unit of that world with its " order for the
gallery," to see and hear the only performer who
reconciles us to the retirement of LISTON. Fie upon it ! is
there no chivalrous Member to move that the ladies be
admitted to these best of all comic entertainments ?
Suppose that it might be inconvenient to rescind the
Standing Order for the exelusion of ladies from
the debates, might it not at least be suspended
in their favour on the nights when it is known
that the Hon. Member for Knaresborough intends to
perform ? True the lessee of the Opera would sustain
great injury, but we have not the least doubt that his
fair and titled patronesses, who would prefer to hear the
" enormous lying" of Mr. FERRAND to the strains of
PERSIANI, FREZZOLINI, and RONCONI, will raise a sub-
scription to cover the pecuniary loss to which other--
wise he would be exposed. We have seen, and
greatly admired, FARREN as Lord Skindeep, in
JERROLD'S new comedy of Bubbles of the Day ;
but admirable, easy, and felicitous, as this great
comic actor's performance was, who, that has had

the pleasure of seeing both, would think of comparing it
with the Parliamentary Punch performances of the Skin-
deep Chairman of the Keightley Union ? If th re be
one, we, in accordance with the precedent set us by the
Hon. and refined Member for Oldham, pronounce him
an ass—a very thistle-browser, whose proper home is
Hampstead Common. We really do not know what
will become of the poor Managers if Mr. FERRAND
continue, to speak, night after night, in the way he has
. .

truck system. Could Mr. MACREADY prevail upon the
Hun. Gentleman to exchange the back benches of
St. Stephen's for the boards of " Old Drury," the
Manager would make his fortune. Mr. FERRAND
is a company in himself. His "At Homes," as
Chairman of the Keightley Union, would far
outstrip in raciness and farcical pleasantry the
best performances of the late CHABLEs MATHEws,
Mr. FERRAND iS a great genius, who has had the mis-
fortune to mistake his vocation. His first appearance as
a public man should have been on the platform in front
of WOMBWELL'S travelling menagerie. The wonders to
