FRANCE.

A meeting had been held at NJ. Lafitte's
at which 80 members of the Chamber were
present, for the purpose Of organizing sys-
tematic opposition to the remains of the
Caslnir Perer Cabinet, and taking other
measures for bringing back the Cabinet Of
Louis Philippe to those principles which he
is said TO have accepted as the conditions
Of his elevation to the throne during the
revolutionary ferment of July. They have
published a manifesto, which appeared in
all the Paris papers of the Both May, and
has caused the French Government great
uneasiness. The signatures are Al includ-
ing the names of Gen. Lafayette, Gen. La
marque, written by proxy he being on his
death-bed. De Tracy, Laftte, &c. 1t com
mences thus:
To our Constituents. The undersigned
Deputies, present at Paris, convinced of the
pellls OF system which removes the gov
eminent farther and farther from the revo-
luton which created it, regard it, in the
present situation of France, the most i'm
perious Of their duties to render an account
to their constituents of their principles and
their votes. If it is not in their power to
bring back the government 10 the condition
vi no ONH PiSSOiN1IIoii IL 10 Ut leHSL III lIltlT
power to point out the danger. Our revolu-
ton Of 1880 has been va,iously construed.
Some have seen in it hut an incident, Il
modification of the restoration, and have
thus concluded that the men and the princi-
pies of the restoration were to be the prnci-
pies and men Of the new Government. The
influence of this opinion was exemplifed in
all the phases of the late long and barren
session. 1t was evident in the debntes up
on the Civil List, the Peerage, and the or
ganization of the army /; it presided over the
discussions of the Budgets; it directs the
Administration of the empire, ami regulates
our conduct towards Foreign Powers"
lThey 90 on to specify various partcu-
lars in which they have witnessed on the
part of the ministry, position contrary to
the spirit Of the Revolution Of July. They
instance the large appropriations giving to
the new monarchy an air of opulence +; the
attempt of the ministry to re-establsh in
France the old feudal word Subject" in
stead of citizen; the privilege conceded to
the Peers of holding their titles for life, in
stead of holding them at the pleasure of the
King; the inefficient organization Of the
National Guard the unnecessary amount
of taxation for purposes unconnected with
the defence of the country, &c. &c. They
then pass TO the relations of France with
foreign powers.

1t will be seen that the new duty regularly
decreases from the cost of S225 per yard
when it is equal under both Tariffs, down TO
the cost of ST. 5 per yard, in which the duty
is more than fifty per cent less Beyond the
cos: OF $3.50, the same effect is produced, the
| new duty being 35 cents per yard less than the
old one, at the cost of 50 80, and increasing up
to the cost of $500 where the duties are again
equal. The effect of the alterations is TO re-
duce the duties on all cheaper goods, and re-
tain them on the higher.

10 cents the square yard.

CoNsIsTENT IN INCONSISTENCY TO THE
LAST. Two very important Bills, which
were passed by large majorites through
both Houses of Congress, have been lost by
the ohstlnacy Of the President, viz: the bill
providing for the payment of interest to the
states which made advances to the United
States during the last war with Great Brit
AIN, AMI The bill for The Improvement of
certain Rivers and Harbors. These bills
were sent to the President for his signature.
but were not returned before the adjourn.
ment' ana have consequently failed to be-
come law, as ten days of the session did
not remain alter their passage. The Pres.
ident has, therefore in effect veioed those
bills, without mourning the responsibility of
placing his name at the bottom of another
Veto Message. The reason for his reiec
ton OF the first bill, is probably to be found
In the fact, that large sums for interest on
advances are due to the States of Connect
cut and Massachusetts; and Gen. Veio has
no disposition TO allow any claims to those
who are sure to vote against him. Those
who reflect that the President has so recent

ly signed the Internal Improvement Bill,
may he puzzled to divine the ground of his
objections to the bill for improving certain
harbors, and the navigation of certain rivers,
lnasmurh as there is no possible distinction
in principle between them. But the won
der will cease when the reader is appraised
of the fact, that DR.. Richie, of the Rich
mona Enquirer, frowned prodigously. and
shook his grey goose quill ut the "Jln'ral,"
for approving the Internal Improvement
Bill. 1t Was therefore necessary for the
President to hack out.

VINO IS MY NEIGHBoR This is The
way they do things in the country villages
of New England. We copy from Wood
stock, Vermont, paper:
An incident occurred in this neighbour
hood on the 4tb inst. so praiseworlhy in il
self, and so creditable TO the parties con.
cerned, that we cannot avoid noticing il.
The blacksmith's shop of an old man named
Philip Hartman, living near the North Noun
tain, took fire on the 81, and was entirely
consumed. together with all its contents of
a destructlble nature, including his account
book. The next morning about 40 of his
Deighbors assembled on the spot, with six
wagons and teams, and feled, hewed. and
hauled timber enough for another shop.
which they raised up before night, besides
making the old man up a purse of SI6. TO
furnish him with the necessary tools to en-
able him to work again.

THE Doc. At the late fire, corner of
Courtlandt and West streets, the following
incident occurred, which tends in striking
degree, to illustrate the sagacity and fideli-
ty of that most excellent animal, the dog.
A young man slept in the third story of
the building in which the fire originated.
His dog, lying by his bed side, scented the
fire which had broken out below. He i'm
medlately endeavored to awake his master.
by laying his fore paws on his breast, and
drawing them gently over his body. The
young man aroused himself, but not suspect
ing the object of the animal, fell again to
SLEEP. The dog then siezed the bed-clothes,
and stripped them off his master, who II
second time covered himself up and went
to sleep. The dog, aware that no more
time was to be lost, took hold of the young
mans shirt with his teeth, and tore it from
his arm. At this moment, the flames were
bursting into his chamber, and he saved his
life by descending the tackle fall, which he
threw out of the window, hand over hand.
The worst of the story remains to be told.
In his hurry 10 escape destruction, the
young man forgot that his keeper had no
means Of descent, and burst into flood of
tears on finding that he could not return to
save him. The faithful creature persisted

THE BANK VETo. We consider it a
dark day for the country when it was re-
corded. Not Modification itself has a
more disuniting tendency, than the loss
of an institution the only means of pois-
ing and steadying the currency of the
country. Thousands of ruined people
will curse the hand that did it. Four
hundred State Banks let loose at once,
will make wild work with the currency.
The scenes Of 1915 will return. The
nation will again tread on the verge of
Bankruptcy.
While the President was vetoing, his
friends in Pennsylvania were resolving
that the charge of his enmity to the Bank
was Islander. Good the physic will
work.-Richmond Wig.

The VETO MESSAGE. One of the most
ridiculous pieces of sophistry that distin-
cuisines the "veto" message. 1--WE say one,
for the whole is compound of sophistry) is
the attempt TO tickle the ears of the people
with the idea that the re-chartering of the
United States Bank is to he considered as
legislating for the benefit of the stockhold-
ers of that institution. Nothing can he
more ridiculous. We should as soon say
the custom house in this city was continued
for the benefit of the gentlemen who derive
salaries from the various duties which they
discharge in that building. The re-char-
tering of the Bank will, of course, aid the
stockholders, among whom are widows and
orphans, and aged citizens, who look to
their dividends for daily bread. The veto
has taken from these the means of :heir
support. But the re-chartering of the Bank
would continue confidence among men of
business, by insuring in the operations of
trade, the capital which that institution has
literally furnished to the enterprising of
every section of the Union, at rate unfeIt
by the borrower, in consequence of the ad-
ditional profits and ready returns which it
insures to his business. Gen. jackson
knew this, or he is culpably ignorant of the
business Of his constituents. He knew that
the western States owed their present un-
PARALLEL prosperity, in great measure, to
the facilities which the United States Bank
afforded them, and If his veto was to have
the effect which he desires it to have, viz !:
TO prevent the Bank from receiving char
ter, he would thereby bring upon the west
ern States flood o! misery, such as they
never yet have known.

DISTRESS. Human distress seems to WIS.,
it every section Of the globe. Accounts
from Newfoundland to the middle Of June,
state, that there never was season so I'M
propitious. The fisheries had not COM
menced and the poor were literally starv-
ing, being compelled to subsist on seals,
cats. dogs, horses, &C., the harbors being
still filled with ice. 1t is stated at ST. John.
that the brig Eleanor, from Waterford, got
jammed in the ice in Conception Bay, early
in June, and 80 persons from the coast went
on board, iorclbly took away her provisions,
and carried them on shore on the ice. At
Sidney, the poor inhabitants were starving,
and those who had The means were divid-
ing their scanty supplies. Accounts from
Marimichi TO July 3, state that the Cholera
was subsding, and the towns and settle
n'nts on the river were represented as free
from disease; but other distresses, from the
backward season, were truly appalling.
