FOREIGN Affairs.

The belief is becoming pretty general
among professed politicians that England
and France are but Indifferent friends, and
that collision between them is not at all
unlikely to occur, and that at no distant dav.
1t is further conjec:ured that in the event Of
hostilIties, revolution may he expected in
France and in Spain also. 1t must be ad
mitted that recent events which have grown
out of the late attempt to assassnate the
French emperor give good ground to sup
pose that an alienation of good feelings, il
really any ever existed between these great
powers, is taking place daily. The recent
trial in England Of Bernard as Access
sorry TO the attempt upon the life of Napoleon
by O'sIn, was mere farce AS judicial pro-
ceeding, and served only to show that public
sentiment there sympathises sub modo as it
does here, with the wretched enthusiasts who
figured in the detesable crime. The nrose-
cutor on the trial Of Bernard uttered nc ore
a philippe against Napoleon than an arru
ment against the accused. He has to our
notion, "a strange system of ethics who con-
dennis in unqualified terms the late attempt
to destroy Louis Napoleon, and at the same
time regrets secretly that it did not succeed.
Such ethics however prevail in Great
Britain and the United States to great ex
tent. Orsini himself before he was executed.
expressed regret at his misguided act, and
hoped that none of bis associates might re-
peat it. But the svmpaihisers of Orsini do
not regret that he failed to accomplish his
purpose.
1t will we think. he seen, if any outbreak
should ocrur in France, that Paris and the
army will be found on the side of the Empe-
ror In the matter Of revolutions, it is pro-
verbal that Paris is France.

by the shoveIing of snow from the roof Of

The jury brought in verdict of $4,000 for
the widow, which contemporary saws ia
considerably more than some husbands are
worth. In such cases it nigh. be we'll to

be more likely to have juster appreciation
