TO CORRESPONDENTS

We have made some inquiries relative to the remarks of a
correspondent, in our last, about the organ at Trinity
Church, and find that the person who officiates at that
instrument is remunerated entirely by private subscription,
a considerable portion of which comes out of the pocket
of the minister, and the remainder is supplied by the con-
gregation.; but the whole amount is not adequate to obtain
• the services of an efficient organist, and hence arises the
grievances of which our correspondent complains. Does
" A Sufferer" contribute liberally towards the fund ?
The Rev. Mr. Nolan begs thankfully to acknowledge the
receipt of £2 from " A Wellwisher," towards the en-
largement of St. Barnabas' Church, and wishes also to
express his grateful sense of the kind and Christian spirit
that breathes through the letter which conveyed them.—Mr.
Nolan's name was, through a stupid blunder, printed
" Urlaw" i❑ our last.

FRIDAY MOgIVING, DECEMBER 17, 184

The Procureur-General of France, in the opening of
his speech upon the trial, before the Court of Peers,
of Quenisset and his accomplices—(who, it will be re-
membered, are the parties implicated in a late murder-
ous attack made upon the sons of Louis Philippe,
whilst entering Paris at the head of the troops re-
turned from the African campaigns)—remarked that
" in all similar criminal aggressions which during the
last ten years had called for the interference of justice,
one and the same principle predominated—one and
the same object was constantly revealed. The motives
which inspired all these impotent attempts could not
possibly be mistaken. It was no other than the over-
throw of the political and social order of the country
and the, downfal of the constitutional monarchy."
There can be no doubt of the perfect correctness of
this remark. There can be no doubt in the mind of
any man who has paid ordinary attention to the deve-
lopement of popular opinion in France, and especially
in Paris, during the last ten years, that a strong under-
current of revolutionary feeling of the basest and most
bloodthirsty description—unmingled with one particle
of generous enthusiasm—not elevated by one virtuous
and ennobling aspiration—runs deep below the en-
forced and deceitful calm which is spread over the sur-
face of society in that kingdom. The heart of France
is black with suppressed passions, throbbing with wild
longings for blood and outrage. Her feelings are
those of the dragon chained down until the venom
with which it is surcharged threatens to shoot forth
from its glaring eyes, whilst its scaly form swells in
vain and agonizing efforts to break asunder the iron
links which bind it to the earth. The struggling ele-
olcano are within her breast; and the oc-
currence of a day or an hour may enable them to burst
forth in a torrent of headlong crime and slaughter, and
once more.to strike a blow for the mastery over the
devastated and prostrate kingdoms of Europe.

And to what must we attribute the existence of this

passion which animates the great mass o
French society ? From whence this " wild unrest"—

monst

this fev4ish longing of a nation to rush into that
blood-stained path whose horrors in time past drew
down upon her the execrations of the whole world,
and entailed upon her own children so fearful a weight
of retribution? The spirits which of old goaded her
into action—the warriors who held up before her eyes
the trophies of her countless battle fields, whic

led and intoxicated her with the vision of her un
versa' supremacy—the theorists who deluded her wit

the dark whisperings of their false philosophy—a

is all which remains of the glory of " the empire ;"
and the charity which allowed him a grave within the
bosom of the land which he once lorded over is the last

memory entwined with the name of the Chief whose
genius alone conferred a transient splendour upon that
revel of blood from which he awoke the ensanguined
myriads of France to turn their frantic energies against
