THE NEW JAIL.

This building is now, as we understand,
and we venture the assertion
that there is not better County Jail in The
State 1t is a structure built to last, and
will neither require to be repaired or indie
ted, for many years 10 come. We prople-
sv moreover. .hai i, will work a total revolu-'
ton in the criminal operations Of the row.
dies IN this County. Heretofore, crimes
have been committed in the face of Ger.
tain confinement in the Jail, with as much
coolaess. as il the Imprisonment, was to be
'inacdb house, and il has long been regard
ed as evidence either Of great good nature
or Of unparalleled stupidity to remain in
Chttendcn County Jail over night. But
we apprchend that in future the tables will
be turned, and no who surmounts the barri-
ers of bars, bolts and massive stone which
lie in tho way TO the outer air. will be ac-
counted fellow Of no ordinary ingenuity
and gump,ion.
The Jail has been bull. for sum very
mucl, lower than many had estimated, and
within the amount Of the tax laid for the
purpose. Rooms, however, have been ad-
ded 10 the Jail House including comfortable
apartments reserved for debtors, which form
an item distinct from the bill for the Jail
people, but which being added to that sum
mako an aggregate of less than S4500.
Tho work has been under the charge Of
Judges Van Sicklen and Allen, the former
having procured the plan and personally su.
perln,ended the erection of the building
from its commencement. The chief mate.
rial is blush grey Stone from Isle La Mott
The floor of each Of the second tier Of cells
and the ceiling Of the one below consists of ;
single stone, nine feet four inches long, fou
feet one inch wide and ten inches in thick
ness. To manage such rocks, without acct
dent, was no easy matter, Blu, they all reach
ed their destination uninjured. Great prais
is due to Judge Van Sicklen for the faithful
ness with which 10 has devoted himself II
the completion Of the work, and the ski
lie has displayed 10 it, management. w
believe he visited several Of the most approx
: ed jaiIs in New England, in order to decid

comfort Of The inmates.
The plan Of having separate apartment
o for the unfortunate debtors, who have, here
% toforo been compelled 10 herd with the v
N cious and depravsd criminal, was clnart

FROM LATE LONDON PAPERS.

QUEEN NIcToRIA's LATE VISIT TO FRANCE
We understand that King Louis Philippe has
conferred the decoration Of the Legion Of lloa
our on the position through whose courage and
rrcscMce OF mind the whole Royal Family OF
Frascn were saved from destruction. The re-
ward is. no doubt, a gratifying one and is richly

uent as to the judcious part which he took, no
human aid could have prevented irigh'fu' ca
,ast,ophr ; but we hope his Majesty will not
confne his gratitude TO a simple decoration. To

VAST HISTORICAL RESEARCH,


John Jones is INDUCING in series of ve-
ny learned and elaborate essays upon tho
Designs Of the British Government
One of the essays contains piece Of in
formation which will be received by our
readers with IA feeling very near akin to
amazcmen,. Here it is:
Great Britain rarely attacks an enemy openly and
boldly 1t was only at the closing scene Of the ca
reer OF Napoleon, tina, British troops marched upon
the soil of France; and yet nation contributed
more TO produce the Em?eror's overthrow. The.
British navy swept The French flag from the ocean,
and the British Cabinet enlisted the mercenarics Of
Europe 10 wage an niermlnable war by land. Al.
though Napoleon scarcely ever saw an English SOL
der in Of his great battles excepting the last YET
it is notorious that during his whole lie, in all his
campaigns, he ceased To regard Great Britain
his most lmpacable foe, and 10 attribute all his dis
as,ers 10 the mnhsnnnt operations of that power"
We should have thought that the occupa.
ton of Toulon, carly in the French Revo-
luton, the victory of LIST June, 1894, and
the invasion Of Holland and Egypt were
things not done in IA corner, TO say nothing
of the landing of large English force on
the Continent in 1905, the expedition under
Lord Chatham and the wars of the PENN.
sula, which took place at later period.
The British Navy, it seems, "swcpt tho
French flag from the ocean," bu, this Of
course was not done "openly and boldly"
1t must have been done, in clandes,ine
and cowardy manner. The fact is, that
Pitts policy of fighting France by means Of
mercenaries, was false, and very nearly .
fatal policy; but there was nothing Of con.
cealment in it. 1t seems, though, that Brit
ish troops did not march upon the soil Of
France until near the close Of Napoleon's
reign Will John be good enough 10 let u
know what other troops besides the British
did! We had always thought that Francs
was not invaded until the reverses in Russia,
brought the whole Alliance upon her, and
that Wellington entered the South of France
