Freuch Parliamentary Eluqucnce.
In the French Chamber of Peers, on the
10th. Of February, during the discussion Of
the sacvilage bill, Count Mole opposed its
passage in speech Of some length, which
contains finer specimens Of chaste, forcible.
manly eloquence than we have often found
in the proceedings Of the French Legisla-
ture. The following translation may serve
TO show that his style is free from false or.
namcnt and affected obscurity with which
some of their speakers are too apt to IN.
dulge. a. r. Daily .fdprrtiser.
1.-The first article of the bin positively dc,
MES the equality Of the different modes Of
worship. 1t provides for furnishing the
French who are not cathol<p; it defines a
crime which catholic cannot commit: this
is the way in which Intolerance always insin.
yates itself. and by small degrees establish
cs her empire. Bgotry al first approaches
hhmbly to implore the protection Of the
law; but soon she dictates it, gains posses
sion Of it, and commands or proscribcs in its
name. Next to sacrilege will come BIAS
phemy; every sin will be assimiated with
legal offence or a crime, and power will be
employed to redress error.
ITO avoid this discussion, which might
prove dangerous to I'll. bill, VIC are given to
understand that the law will never be exc
cuted it is represented as only a mark os
homage to our religion and our faith. Blu.
they do not perceive that such homage, such
Il law, would themselves be sacriiegous, The
pagans attributed 10 their gods the frailties
and the passions Of humanity; but are chris
tains authorized to talk of avenEing whom
they adorc' Is the God Of Feno!en and Of
Dossuct to be worshippcd by depriving the
weak creature who offends him, Of space
Of repentance! God, who shed his blood for
men does not require them to shed their fell
lows bloodhe hasno delegated to us his ven-
geance. On the day when that shall be man
ifested, this earth, the work OF his hands,
shall have ceased to exist. Renounce then
the idea Of proportioning the punishment Of
an offence 10 its magnitude: il is for the mas.
;ers of this world. and not for the fther Of
all men. that laws are made for I'll, .rctcc-
ton Of majesty"
We perceive in one Of the French papers
fthe Etoilc) the following definition of the
Holy Alliance and its objects, 1t is (says
the Editor) a compac. entered int, under
the auspices of the Creator himself. to pro-
ltcct the human species from the Genius Of
Evil. We also learn. from TIE same source
the novel information, that when Mr.. Can
ming in counsel proposed tho recognition
ofthc independence Of South America, he
was SO unanimously opposed by the other
members, that he rendered his resignation
to the King, which would have been accept.
ed. but that the heaith Of Lord Liusrhool
ssGs too delicate to dispense with the services
of his ccadjutor. This is the amount Of what
nc1os is given by the French papers, none ot
which has the scinb.ance of authenticity.
IN extraordinary SurSica! Oherasion.--
The operation Of tapping the head for wa
Ter on the brain, was performed by Surgeon
Cray, Of this town Galway on Monday last,
on a child nine months old. He drew of
more than ten ounces Of water, which gave
the child great rcleit. Should the child even
not recover, which from the generally dis
easetl, and deformed state of the body, may
probably be wished for, yet we think the
performance Of such operations should b<.
made public, as they may lead to more sue
eessful practice in that very unlnanageable
disease.
MURDER.
Or the sth inst William Simpson, south
c-n trader, was murdered near Centrevillc.
Fairfax countT Va. and robbed Of about
1880, chiefly in notes o.: the Bank OF Vir-
gin:a. II appears that Simpson had eaten
his supper at the tavern where he had been
for several days, in company with four or
Ave persons of the place, and that after sup
per they all left the tavern, not, however
: precisely at the same time; but this being
common, attracted 10 particular notice. All.
except Simpson. returned to the tavern IN
: the course Of the evening. Next morning
: being Sunday, three Of them left the vlllags
two on foot and one on horseback. Simp-
sons rot returning to the tavern on Sunday
excited 10 suspicion, az his business led him
frequently into the ncighbourhood Tor longer
or shorter periods. On Monday suspicious
began TO be entertained. and ON Tuesday
morning the inhabitants undertook to search,
and in n short time, within about hall
!. a mile Of the village. near ore OF the roads
!, leading from thence, lie was found dead,
j and the money which, it was known he had
about him was missing. He appeared to
have been shot through the head with
pistol, and stabbed.
ShGnish and Italian R,fagecs.--The Lon

Italian refugees, having proposed to charter
.. a vessel to convey such of them as were dia-
y posed to embark for New York or Pha-
delphia, we may soon expect to sec num-
Der Of these unfortunate patriots on our
shores. 1t is to be hoped that they will re-
ceive a welcome commemorate with the iH-
