to what did the worthy Alderman's reasoning amount?
In the first instance, that it was advisable and
expedient to omit the Qttain's name in the
Liturgy before she was tried, and only because
she was suspected; and that after all proceed-
ings against her had been abandoned, because
they could not be carried on, and after she had
been pronounced an innocent and injured woman by
nine-tenths of the nation; it was proper still that she
should hi treated with disrespect, because, under
wrongs the most galling to a female mind, shel
bad affixed her signature to a letter which reflect-
ed on the Cosrt and conduct of her Royal Hos-
bawl !! ! What this cx pest facto offence had to do
with the omission of her Reat.srv's name in the
Liturgy, neither the worthy Alderman, nor any of his
admirers took the trouble to spew. But it was enough
to be atle to bring some charge dr other, no matter
how irrelevant, against a personage whom it was
desirable at all events to traduce and overwhelm.
.Ihe Worthy Alderman had read with profit, the sig-
nidcant Fable of the Wolf and the Lamb.

Curaeoa Papers arrived this morning of the 14th
November, but do not contain any information from
the Slain.

By papers from Lower Canada, of the !Oth of De-
ee:nber, we are infornied that his Excellency the Go-
vernor, Earl Ihimouste, opened the Session of the
Provincial Parliament with a speech remarkable for its
brevity. After adverting in appropriate terms to the
death of the late KING, the Governor alludes to the
situation of the province and the various measures ne-
cessary for its improvement. He recommends a revision
of the Constitutions of the Courts of Justice, the adop-
tion of permanent tennis laws, a strict attention to
the organisation and discipline of militia, and such
other measures that will add to the comfort of the nu-
merous emigrants who continue to arrive in that
ptuviurr, and facilitate the settknaent of the waste

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
Paris, Jan. 94, 1891.

No discussion of importance has taken place in the
chamber since the nth, and Park would he very dull
were it not for a singular reneontre that occurred
on the Tuilleries three days age, and which still con-
tinues to be the general topic of conversation. You
will nut be surprised to bear that the hostility be-
tween Ministers and the Prince's party, continues
unAhated. There is evidently a determination on the
part of the hitter, to drive them from power and occupy
their places. In pursuance of this design, Donned..

de Richelieu on the promenade above alluded to, he
attacked him with such violence, not unattended with
menaces of corporal chastisement, that had not the
Premier made a preelpitme retreat, it is probable the
gond people of Paris would have been entertained
with the novel spertacle of • boxiag match under the
walls of the palace ! A similar eyelet is said to have
mcurred between these two politicians scene months
before, it is now asserted, that if the Dohs any Wage,

those who, is the language of Boller, prefer “ to fight

It is now ascertained that the °tassel's famous
speech was composed for him by no less than three of
the party, each taking a department, which it must
be confessed, they have described in very glowing
colours. Although nothing can be more absurd than
to hear the must famous of the ultra's sympathise with
the ill treatment and sufferings of the army ; it need
not be matter of wonder, when we consider that place
and power are the objects in view. It seems that as
M. de It. does not tnink himself justified in mestiug
his adversary, he has thought it t duty to represent
his conduct to the Kluge *bilis said to have hunt&
diately placed hies on the retired lists and interdicted
his 1.. ore entry into the palsies. This flecas will
doubtless lead to very warm discussions. and well in-
furiated persons imagine it might be taken considera-
ble Advantage of by the liberals in favour of the
people. Unhappily it is here, as in other countries;
in proportion as the friends of liberty telex in their
efforts, devote too much Huse to frivolous amusements,

A eery jeteresting trial will eeme on in the Court
of Assize, nazi month. It is that of M. Souligno,
author of an ahle work called Let trait wows t in
which he hoe displayed a thorough knowledge of
English history, This gentleman has beta doomed
to experience all the resentment of the ruling faction
in Prance ; seised about eight months ago, by • spe-
cies of Imre de cachet, his papers were sent to the
Prefect of police, and himself to prison. he has lan-
giddied in one or another of them ever since ; but
will now have an opportunity of exonerating himself
from the charges of his enemies. M. Souligae is
said to he better acquainted with the secret history of
the factious in this country than any of his content-
poraries, anal when at large, his disclosures will, at
-
cording to revert, astonish Europe ! Duvergier, of
whom you have hoard in the late trials, is the friend
of Soulizne, and his companion in misfortune; this
interesting young WAR is the nephew of Lauviston,
who has the credit of being amongst his bitterest per-
secutors. 0! tempore, 0! morn
