Vernon Smith, whose utter want OF capscity as
Presilent Of the Board of Control dsgIsts friends
and foes and no owes bis elevation to bis
connection BY marriage with the great Wing houses
has 1T last become aware that he is nu-
sanee. and i. is said 10 the Clubs that he
has given in his resignation, 70 be replaced BY SIR
CHARLES Wood, who under former administration
las Alresdy once been at the head of lndiaa
Affairs with credit TO himself, and much 70 the
benefit Of his department. Sir Charles 10 certainly
not man of genius; bis budget was often lament
able when he filed the place Of Chancellor OF the
EIchequer, but he is "a most conscientious man,
not to be frightened out of his wits by any m';-
krtuEe, nor to be impeled by success into iDjus-
ice or such cruel aud bloody venge,ncs as is
preached by The London Times and Punch. Sir
Charles is TO be succeeded at the Admiralty either
by Sir James Graham or by Sidney Herbert.
Having thus strengthened his Cabinet, Lord Pal
nerston will 90 on TO reward the great wing
houses By additional hOnors to coDcilate them for
be is well aware that his own family is stranger
to them, and that he him e'f has not become the
head Of the party by their choice. Lord Lans-
downe 10 now to be elevated to the highest rack OF
the British Peersge, under the title of Duke OF
Kerry. Lord Robert Grosvenor becomes Lord
Ebury and will share in the hoaors of the House OF
Lords together with Tvs 0 brOtbers-the Marquis OF
Westminster and the Earl of Wilton. An additional
CAvendish and an additional Vane are likewise des-
tined to go from the Commons to the Peers, and
Macaulay is to exculpate the Indian administration
IN a
Macaulay. Thus strengthened Lord Pamerston
will be ready 10 meet the next Parliament, in Feb
ruary, with bogus reform, though he has not sue
eeeded in removing Lord John Russell from the
House and in transpantiDg him among the Peers
Lord John is certainly most unfortunate critic Tor
Lord PamerstOn, but he would not be either cOaxed
or bullied out of the Commons, though he has lost
much of his former prestige, and has scarcely any
party Of bis OWL There is sufficient reason to be-
Eeve that the most distinguished men of those who
were beaten at the general election will be re-
turned TO Parliament by partial elections. Bright
was the first and the most worthy TO return TO his
old place. While write Mr.. Mail is contrasting
TavistOck with fair prospects OF success and MI.
Fox 10 nearly certain to be elected at Oldham, Mil
Ber Gibson, Golden and Sir Joshua Walmsley re-
MAN, and for them the Liberals anxious TO secure
Seats in Parliament at the first opportunity.
The Emperor Napoleon is turning Enga1ds dit,
ficuties to bis advantage. Not having to fear the
opposition of his dear ally, his North African pol,
ICY becomes suspicious. squadron is under san
rom T0ulOu for the harbor of Tunis, according
10 some papers, to exact guarantees from the Boy
against the MOhammedan persecution OF Jews ana
Christians; according to Others, to protect the Bey
against the fanaticism Of his own subjects. In
either case it is rather omnous expedition, and
pressges an extension of the French dominion IN
Africa. There is no doubt that the Engish Gov
eminent dislikes this business, and still more the
interview Of Napoleon with the Car Alexander,

ingly The Times is base enough to praise the luz
perHl Government in higb-fOwing panegyfics for
having allowed the French papers to speak o'rt
about the INSTRUMENTATION of Algeria wlich has
come 20 light by the trial of Captain Doneal,
Chef du Bureau Arabe at Oran, in Algeria, who
has been sentenced to death for robbery aud MUIR
der Since NapoeOns sympathles are always with
the robbers and murderers, it is quite certain that
Doineau would not be executed, even if he were
not the nephew Of Mr. BarOche. Still the facts
brought to light are bad enough to cause remodel
ing OF the Algerian administration. All the French
authorities, from the Bureau Arabe to the Com
mapder Of the Province, were proved 10 be intent
on making their fortunes by extOrtiOn and robbery
The sentence of the Tribunal au Commerce, by
wbich Auguste Thurneyssen, the great banker and
director Of the Credit Mobilier, has been found
bable-as psrner-foF the deficiency OF his bank.
rapt cousin Charles Thurneyssen, ~ the extent OF
$1,000, 900 francs, has made u profound sensa-
ton in Paris, though the sentence may stu be re-
versed by the Court of Appeal. All these trials
reveal the rottenness Of the governing classes, ana
cannot fail to weaken NapoleOn's power We may
therefore expect new startling incidents in his
foreign policy, since he is eager to counterbaanee
he home difficulties by dazzling foreign exploits
This is the reason why the interview of the two
Emper@s Of the West and North is watched with
suspicious anxiety, both in England and Austria.

Considerable anxiety is felt for the safety of tas
