The news by the Europa is favorable to peace.
There is little chance, for the present,we think,
of any movement of revolutionary character.
The governments are too strong for the small
party of fighting liberals, and the masses are too
discouraged and demoralized to lend aid to their
headstrong friends.
AS regards France, the apathy displayed is al
most incredible, if we only consider what has
been done in that country in favor of liberty.
But if we look farther into the sentiments OF its
people. we shall find a shrewd calculation that
there is more to be gained by using Louis Ma
poleon. and humoring his socialist and imperial
tendencies, than by trusting to the treacherous
or do.nothing policy of (so-called) representative

France has tried all systems. and found them
equally wanting. Does it then matter much,

Alderman Solomons still pursues with spirit
his claim to sit in the House of Commons. Ht
has appealed to high tribunal, though we feal
with little chance of success. He has to contend
