A FRENcn VIEW OF LORD PALMERsToSs RES
IGNATIoN.-The Paris Steele gives the following
version of the causes which led to the rupture be-
tween Lord Palmerston and his colleagues
.eWhen some of the members Of the English
cabinet expressed an opinion that Lord Palmer
ston was proposing to recognise the great change
in France with TOO much precipitation, he is said
to have replied sShal we, then, by mpolite
hesitation, drive Louis Napoleon TO think that it
will be e2pedient for him to ally himself with the
northern powers? BY going to him | keep the
French Government on theside of constitutional
government or at least / greatly augment the
difficulties which the French Government would
meet with if it were absolutely to repudiate It's
own right y The Steele then says, that Lord
J. Russell feared that, by following Lord Palmer
stons policy he would lead to coalition of all the
powers of Europe against England, and that he,
therefore, felt anxious to renew the old Austro-
Russian alliance Lord Palmerston, on the con-
trary, thought that France could not cease to be
republican and that if the worst were to come to
the worst, England, putting herself at the head
of Italy, Hungary and Turkey might hold an in
dependent ground, based upon liberal principles.
The article concludes by saying that Lord Palmer
ston has resigned, expecting to be called to the
office of Prime Minister, in less than three months
| These journals all attribute the estrangement
which subsisted between the governments Of Eng
lard and France during the latter years of the
monarchy of July, entirely to the shifiy ickiness,
personal policy, and utter want of good faith which
was on every occasion exhibited by Louis Philip
pc, and they might have added, by his coadju
Guizot
THE Turn OF LIFE.-From forty to fifty, a man
who has properly regulated himself may be con-
sidered as in the prime of life, His matured
strength of constitution renders him almost i'm
pervious to the attacks of disease, and experience
has given his judgment the soundness Of almost
nfallibility. Hisuintl ;s resolute, firm and equal
/ all his functions are in the highest order he as
sumes the mastery over business, builds up
competence on the foundation he has formed IL
early manhood, and passes through aperiod 0
life attended by many qualifications. Having gone
a year or two past sixty, he arrives at crtica
period in the road of existence; the river Of deatl
rolls before him and he remains at stand H..
} But athwart this river is viaduct, called g Tht
Turn of Life, which, if crossed in safety, lead
to the valley of g old age, - around which th
river winds and then flows beyond, without a boa
or causeway to effect lis passage. The bridge is

ters are also in the vicinity to waylay the travee
and thrust him from the pass and let him cir
