! LOUIS PHILIPPE.

The present sovereign of France, answers
in very good degree to Carlyle's idea ofa
king. lie is ii knowing. king, able man, one
who has brains enough TO do something him
self He is surrounded by able ministers, a.
mong them, Guizot; and by able men who
would like TO be ministers, among them,
Theirs; but Notwithstanding, it is generally
understood that he has his own say about
this and that. He is no cipher, destitute of
absolute value in himself, but having great
local value when placed on the side of his
minisler;-not he Conspicuous instances
of this sort were George the Fourth and Will
lam the Fourth of England, far enough from
whom, in political weight, is Louis Philippe.
He rather resembles that stnar: old virgin
queen, Elizabeth Tudor; and his ministers
stand relatively towards him, as did Walls
nghatn, Burleigh, and Bacon, towards her.
They were able statesmen, but she was mis-
tress and Louis Philippe, with an able cabi-
net, is yet the real governor of France. III
deed, the circumstances under which he has
maintained himself on the throne, show him
to be no ordinary man. The creature ola
revolution, made king by the voice ofthe
people, that people VIGOROUSLY tickle, with
the ,lnquiet element of the old dynasty cor
stantly at work, II might reasonably have been
concluded IN the outset, that his hold ofpow-
er would be very brief. Aud yet he has now
swayed the sceptre for sixteen years, all the
while Strengthening himself by some pro-
found or adroit stroke of policy. sHna @
We have been led thus to speak by con-
sidering his latest achievement. He has sue
ceeded in getting his son married TO the heir
i'resumptive to the throne of Spain. Other
princes pressed their suit, but he has outwit-
ted them all. England, under her old dread
OF seeing France and Spain united, opposed
the match, but in vain. Once she would have
gone to war on the issue, and it is probable |
that IT some weak kiDg---sonle Louis 18th
now filled the French throne, she would do
SO now. But she finds Louis Philippe to for
lnidable foe, TOO skiIful player to engage
with. Meanwhile she has entered her pro-
test against the marriage, as ground upon
which to justify herselfin waging war here
after, if her fears should be likely TO be real
led. She is determined that France and
Spain shall not "hitch teams together" If |
nothing comes of this movement, very well.
She has no objection to the Infanta and her
husbands begetting children and passing life
together ngreeably, MS Duke and Duchess of
But it Isabella dies without
children, and Infanta lives with children, then,
Mrs. Britannia will have another word TO say.
Still, as long as Louis Philippe lives, she will

THE NEW-ENGLAND EARTHQUAKE.

Sour readers will all remember or rather
the fact will be brought to their minds, that
on the morning of the 25th August an earth
quake was very sensibly felt in various parts
ofNew England. Such unusual phenomena
in our country caused considerable comment,
and much distrlst of their actual existence.
Other persons, however, stated that in course
OF time we should hear of volcanic action IN
South America. 1T would seem, however,
from recent accounts, that the matter must
