The NEw FRENCH LoAN--A decree signed
by the Emperor appears in the Paris .aioniteur
ordaining that the new loan for 10000, DOC
francs is to be raised like the previous one, by
voluntary subscriptions. Subscribers can take
the A per cent. sentes at 924, OF the s per
cents, at 624. The subscription was to remain
oPen until the 10Th July. No subscription an-
der 10 francs of.rente would he received, one.
tenth to be paid cash, and the balance in is
monthly instalments. The whole sum, as large
as it is, will undoubtedly be easily raised, as
hours before the opening Of the offices crowds
were assembled, all anxious to become subsori-
bers to the national scheme. That's sublime con-
hdeance in himself, which Louis Napoleon pos
sesses, appears to have inspired the French
people with confidence in him.

they commence with passages from the Scripture and
then follow lines and sentences from Shakespeare the

The PRoHrBIroRY LIQUOR LAW

The PRoHrB1roRY Liquor LAW
Our liquor law, says the New York
Herald, is an abortion-a humbug-
. nuisance-a perfectly dead letter.
Except in the occasional arrest Of a
man overburdened with liquor, we are
not aware that it is in the slightest
degree respected, from Coney Island
to Lake Erie. The Germans quaff
their larger bier in larger quantities
than ever, the Irish their whiskey, the
French their wines. and the natives a
little of every thing. as if it were
virtue thus to express their open de.
6an,e ofthis senseless law for the en-
couragemeut Of hard drinking. The
liquor sellers have also the advantage
of free trade. No liceuses are granted
so they have none to pay for. The
law is thus perfect godsend to the low
where the iniquities Of bad
liquor and hard customers are most
abundant. 10 a word, from the prac-
Teal working Of this law, professedly
intended for the total abolition of lio-
nor drinking. human ingenuity could
not deserve a more successful expedient
'or the encouragement of intemper-
'nce. Seeing is believing. What
viii be the next device of our Seward
'eforminers for the improvement ofthe
morals of the.commuuity, it is impossi
lie to guess, Where is the Carson
