such mighty interests are at stake, would leave
any thing to chance. Where the safety of a

nation of his intention to poison him; but a
Minister, Though he may expose himself to peril,
has no right to expose the nation to any that can
be avoided. , b'.E6-,.s 7
Believing tiat Ministers would not fight the
enemy with inadequate means, if adequate means
were at their command, we were led to attach
confidence to the infd'mation, which we received
from more than one 9urce, that they intended to
create one bach 4 Peers before the second
reading. 1t will SOD be seen whether or not we
have been misinormH. We are sure that Peers
ought to be maze; aud if the bill be read Sc
cond time without thsm, we shall not the less be
of that opinion. A general who unnecessarily
exposes himsefto the chance Of defeat is not the
less blameable ecause chance favors him."

|, FRANcE.--The Morning Chronicle remarks
that the disturbances at Paris were serious, but
much exaggerated in the London papers. The
Morning Post, of April 6, states in the leading
editorial article, that the disturbances In Paris
were unquestionably in connexlon with "moye
ments" in every part Of France, OF politlca
nature, which would require all the energies o
the Perier Cabinet. s. According to the same pa
per, the cases and the deaths of Cholera, in Paris
were sfar more numerous than had distinguished
its progress in any other place in Europe.
From the Paris Massager des Chambers, April s,

is an organized band in Paris, who poison tht

From the N. Y. Evening Post.

/ Disclosures of the most painful nature have
been made by the inquiries lately made in Eng
land as to what is called the "Factory System"
This is a system of the most horrible abuse of the
noble animal and intellectual nature which God
has given to the human species. The English
Chronicle contains an abstract Of an authentic
account of the number of children in worsted

sentation ofthe whole In the factory in question,

These romantic incidents give great inter
est to the very able speeches Of the counse
on both sides of this curious case.
/ The entire emptiness of the stomach Of Mr.
Chapman, rendered very difficult the detec
ton Of the poison, Of which only trace wa
left. Bulthe symptoms during life, the exam
lination Of the body after death, and the chem
lical investigation taken together, furnished
lstrong evidence of death by arsenic. These
together with the purchase of arsenic by Mi
ma, and his confession of guilt, left the jury il
his case no alternative, and verdict of guilt
ty was rendered, deciding the fate Of a being
who, for his years, knows perhaps no equal il
discrimination, no parallel in crime, and no ri
val in reckessness.
