The French Emperor.

Napoleon the Inscrutable has returned from his
Visit to Yictoria-s visit marked by that privacy.
not to say secrecy, so congenial to the character
and policy of the man. 1t isimpossible to imagine
a greater contrast in temperament than the ruler
and the people, the master and his men. The most
volatile, versatile aud loquacious of subjects: the
most unchanging, mysterious and taciturn OF
kings. The vivacity and excitability Of French
men are proyerbial, but the frog pond, in which
they angle for their dinner, is not more expressions
less and mperturb8ble than the countenance OF
their Emperor. One would give something To
know what Napoleon thinks of the demonstrations
of restless and discomfort which begin to null
siply in Paris, but for aught that his countenance
or his conduct manifest, they are as harmless rs
honbons hurled a. the dome of St Peter. Those pow
erful dssolvents of social: order the freedomof the
press and the freedom ofspeech become obsolete
in Paris The army ALSO is on Napoeons side Still,
experience warns us not to look for permanency in
che French Government. Nothing is Interchangeable
in France but Change. Napoleon, has, it is truean
heir to his throne but did the son of Louis XVI
reign after him Did the Duke Of Reidstadt sue

The visit to Victoria at this critical juncture OF
Indian affairs seems to be a friendly demonstration
at moment when England ana the World AT large
must be profoundly interested in an assurance that
the sentiments which dictated the AngloFrench
alliance remain unchanged. 1t is predicted that
Napoleon will avail himself of the Indian troubles
tn consolidate his own authority at home, by at
tempting to cripple the power of the ancient rival
Of France. He is generally considered ambitious
and corrupt enough for such an enterprise: but,
whether that be not, he is too wise, too intel
ligent, and, from his long residence in England,
too well acquainted with the resources Of Great
Britain, to attempt undertaking 80 thoroughly
hopeless and impracticabe.

THE GREEK SLAVE IN A ROXBURY CHURCH-An ca

beautiful female slave had been publicly sold for
the enormous aum of six thousand dollars, not
knowing that the paragraph alluded to the display
Of the correct taste of the American people in pay
ing fair price for the great work of art by Pow
ers. This tempting food for that hungry class
who permit everything else to run to waste. while
they continually harp upon the wrongs of slavery
harping that does little good to the slave,
and an eXcitable public much wrong. The figura-
tive language of the paragraph WAS so construed,
by the pastor of the Mt. Pleasant Church, AZ to
transform the cold marble into beautiful and real
mestzo of the South, who by her beauty of figure
and face commanded the high price, "to be sold
away" as he said, "to crafty the usts of wicked
and adultcrous generation" portion of the con-
gregaton, more enlightened than the teacher, saw
the lack of information, which, coupled with the
eager aspirations of the preacher was used to stir

at once who did not take the papers, and so they
added another horrid illustration of American sla-
