The addition oftwo new departments. Depart
ment of the police with M. Maupas at its
head Of nine police inspectors hav-
ing the control Of all the authorities of the de-
partment and twelve sub-inspectors to assist
them in their task.
The department of the State, serving as a
direct intermediate agent between Louis Ma
poleon and his cabinet, counter signing oil the
acts and DEGREES, and having the direction Of
the official paper Aoniteur.
I'd. A Senate, composed of 100 members, ap-
pointed by Louis Napoleon, whose duty was
said to be, the guardianship of the Constitu-
ton. This body is evidently a screen to his
absolute power, since the Constitution, stipu-
lating no privileges to the people, could but
preserve the powers which he gave to himself
And as he appointed the senators, and was free
to give as to deprive them Of their salary, it may
be Justly inferred that the senators, obeying a
well known law Of human nature, were but
tools in his hands and servants to his orders.
Sd. The legislative body elected by universal
suffrage. Two things were to be noticed in
the formation of this body. First, the manner
in which the votes were obtained and controlled,
the security offered by social institutions, such
as the national guard and the press, and the
influence of the clergy and the 6ourgeoisie
upon the peasant and workmen. Second, the
restrained condition of its attributes and or
ganization. 1t could, it will be remembered,
but vote upon single object-that was the
impostss 1t had no liberty Of passing amend
ments-could be dismissed at the will of Louis
Napoleon-sat only three months, and had no
salary. Such are the conditions in which
popular sovereignty is understood by Louis
Napoleon, and practced by the French people
at the present time.
4th. The Council Of State, whose attributes
are to propose and discuss laws, and then td
propose them to the legislative body. The
members of that council are appointed by
Louis Napoleon, and are as much his servants
as the Senate.
Magistracy, justice, education, the national
guard, and all institutions were remodled
anew, centralized, and placed under the thumb
of the new ruler Of the destinies of France

ADDRESS OF SENATOR HUNTER BE
FORE THE VIRGINIA HISTORICAL
SOCIETY.

The Richmond Enquirer says "a very large
and intelligent audience, on Thursday night,
listened with delight to Senator r. M. T. Hun
ter's beautiful, eloquent, and profound address
before the Historical Society of Virginia. 1t
was marked by the genuine philosophy, search
ing analysis, and cogent logical deductions that
always characterize the productions of that
accomplished statesman. He traced, with a
masters hand, the early history of Virginia,
and showed how consistent she has been in her
principle of strict construction, her fair and
just distribution of power, and her unity Of
action.

Arrest Of Juvenile Thieves.-Oficer James
M. Busher LEI this city, on Thursday evening, for
Richmond, Virginia, where he arrested a lad, one
of party, for stealing from Mr.. Thomas Ftzgib-
bon, Of Philadelphia, over two hundred dollars
worth of property, in books and money From
him he procured information as to the whereabouts
of his companion, and likewise captured him, as
he was about taking the railroad cars for Charles
ton. Those boys are aged, the one thirteen and
the other sixteen years. They were employed in
Mr. Ftzgbbon's store, and, it is said, were insti-
gated TO the larceny by an older companion, who
lcf them in Baltimore and returned home.
Officer Busher found on the persons Of the boys
whom he arrested, seven eight dollars, and with
this money he recovered some Of the books which
had been sold in Richmond; and secured the re-
mainder Of the property in their possession. He
passed through Washington on Friday with the
fugitives, and while in Philadelphia, arrested the
boy who had instigated the theft. They ara now
in prison, and awaiting trial.
We mention these facts, not because they are
of especial interest in this vicinity, but warn
ing to boys not to listen the bad counses Of their
companions. Honesty should be the motto OF
every youth engaged in the business affairs oflie.

the absence of matters of greater interest.

Mr.. Davidge having concluded his argument,

the voice. the court dismissed the jury until the
next morning. They Immediately began putting
ON their overcoais, when Mr.. Darlington rose TO
reply TO Mr.. Davidge, who, il was said, had made
some "new points" He suggested however,
that as il was then dark, he would defer his re-
marks till Saturday. But the court evidently
wishing to bring the case 10 speedy close, said
that the counsel could be heard without delay.
So Mr.. Darlington took his position, and the jury
were requested TO return to their seats; which
they did, again taking off their overcoats. Seen

Before he finished the sentence, Mr.. Morgans

of the indiscretion of laughing, though in sup

judges; and the crier made proclamation accord

General Canrobert, in an official dispatch to
the French Government, says that the Russian
army has been swelled by achievements from
the Danube, and by the reserved forces in all
the southern provinces, and that the troops were
animated BY the presence Of the Grand Dukes
Michael and Nicholas.
The resistance met by the Allies has been of
an unexpected character, and their forces in
| the field are found insufficient, notwithstanding
the great bravery of the armies. The bravery
of the Russian army is equally undoubted
1t was stated that the French Government
