AFFAIRS IN FRANcE.-It is evident, says
the Richmond Dispatch, that affairs in France
are in tcklish condition. The Partisan
population are proverbaly fond of change.
The restless steed, however, has cool and
determined rider, and unless all his antece-
dents belle him, he will not be endorsed
without desperate struggle. The people of
France have over and again manifested their
confidence in Louis Napoleon, but pc
riodical frenzy of revolution is characteris-
tic of the mob Of Paris, which rises at times
with ms great fury as an ocean storm, and
subsidies like that when its wrath is expen-
ded, without why or wherefore for the
tempest or the calm. The frieuds of ration
al liberty have nothing to hope from sue
cessful nsurrecliOn in Paris. twould end,
as others before it, in a Republic of month,
followed by Monarchy, possibly the resto-
ration ola Bourbon to the throne. The
Count de Chambord is living in hopes, which
are as likely to be grutified as those of any
Republican aspirant.

LIABILITY OF HOTEL KEEPERs.-An i'm
portant decision has just been pronounced
by Judge Eggleston of the Fifth District
Court, in the case Of Pope VS.. Hall g. Hill
dreih, of the st. Charles Hotel, New Orleans.
The plaintiff put up at the st. Charles
Hotel, in November, 1857. While there his
room was entered ut night, and his watch
valued at $500, and gold coin to the amount
of l46 were stolen. The defendants plead
ed, in bar to the suit, public notices posted
by them in the rooms and conspicuous parts
of the hotel, to the effect that they would
not be responsible for money, watches, or
other valuables, unless deposited with the
clerk.
The Court held that the defendants were
liable for any loss, unless occasioned by the
force of arms; that their liability was fixed
by law, and that they could not limit ii by
any public notice, defining their responsible
ity. They have no right to require travel
Ter to deposit his money, watch, etc, with
their clerk. 1t is their duty to keep honest
servants, and exert vigilance over all persons
coming into the hotel as guests or Otherwise
Judgment is accordingly given for plaintiff

RELIGIoN-Human societies are horn. live
and die upon the earth. But they do not
contain the entire man. There remains to
him the noblest part of himself-those lofty
faculties by which he scars to God, to fu-
ture life, to unknown bliss in an invisible
world. These are his religious convictions,
that true grandeur of man, the consolation
and charm of weakness and misfortune, the
inviolabe refuge against the tyrannies of this
world

ale took his seat in that body az one
among the youngest and most brilliant of its
members. His health soon after failed to
some extent, by which the performance of
his duties was embarrassed. During the
winter he made brief tour to the South,
which benefited him considerably, but at the
close of the session he found himself again
in a failing condition. He gradually sank
until yesterday about one o'clock, when his
high young heart refused its office, and he
died. His age was twenty-five. His disease
that Of the heart. Thus briefly ard brightly
his career was made, and thus ended; and

The NORTHWESTERN DEmocRAcY.-The
Washington Star-the kitchen organ of the

gard to the Democracy of the Northwestern
opinion that we have repeatedly expressed,
ourselves and which we have had no reason
to change. Says the Star:
"1he developments thus far demonstrates
that we have but little to expect from the
Northwestern Democracy, for their faith
could never be more clearly plighted than it
was, by the Cincinnati platform, to the ad-
mission of new States with or without slave
~, as the people thereof should determine,
yet when they belisved the Democratic party
in Kansas, majority of whom are pro.slave-
