you ample Details need not dwell upon the fact The
man 10 an Italian, and 1t appears that he was .. Lon
don during the Imperial visit-that he lodged him
in the streets, but feared the crowd was too
great to allow him to perpetrate his crims He
then followed him to Paris and-failed. This
desperats act not having succeeded has almost turned
his tran and It has ben found necessary to put him
q strsght.waistooat. Luis Napoleon bshaved with
characteristic cooness continued his ride and went with
the rpress to the Opera Comque as IL nothing had
happened Bis popularity is greater than ever
and the shot OF the assassin has done him good
than harm With considerable tact he has turned ths
whole affair to account In his reply to the consratua
lions of the Senate, his escape, he says, "Thas
France need not be anxious that Providence selects and
shields certain extences and that until their mission
is fulfilled, the hand Of the assassin wetess against
them" This is the boldest declaration Of fatasm he
has yet made
s well he has escaped for the psacs Of the world
1t Is awful to contemplate what would have been the
consequences Of his death. Who would have ruled
Frances If Henri v. came to the throne he would In
all probability draw close to Russia and the waverings
Of Austria would then be over and she would abandon
the Western Powers The days Of Louis Napoleon are
truly valuable at the present moment. II Is trus
link Of sympathy has been formed between the people Of
France and England which any ruler might frd 1t
difficult task to That link has been csmentei by
blood shed in common, side by side the battle field
and the chances might be equally in favor Of Cavag

continue the ailnce, on that of Lsgtmist Or.

Commons the other night. he brought charges in his

quarters He could not substantate the charges and
Lord Palmerston and other members styled them foul
calumpies. He is Of consd erable pluck s'Layard
and he will doubtless return to the charge but he
cseds the limits Of prudence, and assumes position as
champion of the public interests to which he has
claim.
Another interesting debate took place the newspa-

newspapers Was withdrawn without a decision.
Disrael made very good speech on the occasion.
Prom the Baltic there yet nothing deserving OF
particular mention. few Russian merchantmen have
been captured, and Admiral Dundas has brsakfasted

blockaded.
There was rather violent debate the other night Ia
the House Of Commons on the Maynooth grant. The
debate Was adjourned 1t was upon the motion to do
away with the grant.
