members of his choir, entered the church and or

the freebooter Of the church, and that no one had
right to be there without his permission. The per-
sons thus addressed refused to move, upon which
Mr.. King took one of them by the collar and
dragged him to the vestry room, where he was
performed upon second man, then upon boy.

were in the church, but in answer to appeals made
to them they stated that they had no authority to

The fund which has been commenced for the
benefit Of the widow and mother of the late Capt

ceived considerable renittances and promises of

Since the accession of the new board Of directors
of the Great Eastern Steamship as for some time
previously, no works behind those absolutely ne.
cessary for tho preservation of the great ship, and
keeping her IN condition, have been carried on.
The engines are kept clean and oiled, the furniture
and decorations of the state saloon are preserved
from injury, the whole of the hull, newly painted,
looks clean and smart and the ship, to all external
appearance, bears out the repeated statements of
the late directors, and of the members of the pres
emit board, that very small amount of expenditure
is necessary to complete the ship for sea.
1t has been announced at Lloyds that very Sc
rious inhumanity occurred on the part of those in
charge of the City Of Paris, one of the Milford and
Waterford line of steamers, on the occasion of the
mishap of the Inflated Nmfod steamer, which end
cd in her total loss at ST Davids Head 1t is alleged
that the City Of Paris, which spoke the Nimrod,
proceeded on her course without rendering assist
ance to the disabled ship, although there seems to
be some difference as TO the sum demanded for
giving the aid. 1t is said that Capt. Lyall of the
Nimrod, offered the commander of the City of Paris
f100 to tow him into port (Alilford being about
some three or four hours run from the spot.) The
captain Of the City of Paris it is alleged, declined
to make any bargain, and the result was that the
L
voyage to Waterford, and ten hours afterward the
Nimrod was cast on the rocks and immediately
went to pieces; not a soul on board being spared.
The whole of the circumstances, however, are to
be investigated by the Board of Trade.

PANS March 4.-The MOaiteur to-day contains

The Paris papers publish the following, dated
Antilles, March 3:
1.-THE part Of the Imperial speech concerning
Lax, of Cav nd hoe hao 20
ceiyed in Nice with enthusiasm.
"The Italian party is greatly agtated.n
The following is the speech delivered on the &c
of March by the President Of the Corps Legislatif
Conference.-The Emperor's speech ought to re
assure you on the subject which interests you mos
The greatest element of prosperity at present
that with which country whose industry and com
merce are developed by credit, cannot dispense, is
confidence. Let us hope that the sincere intentions
of the Emperor, expressed both at home and
abroad, as they deserve to be, will definitely re-
store it and if were permitted to refer to an
additional motive for confidence, could lind it in
the very character of the Emperor. | might say
lin reminding you Of passage in his speech o.
yesterday, which You warmly applauded-that he
will never cease to have the real interests o.
France before his eyes; he will not suffer himself
to be led away; and the attacks Of his enemies
leave him as tranquil as the ardor Of his allies.
Your session opens this time under pacific aus
pices. have not, as l had last year, to make an
appeal to the exatation of your patriotism nor to
ask you to support the Imperial policy. address
myself to your Judgment and to your cool reason.
The firstauestion which appears, and which will
give place to measures which will be submitted to
YOU is that which at present agitates the CONNER
cial world, and which is raised by the Treaty Of
Commerce concluded with England. 1t has re.
yiyed all the theoretic discussions between free
trade and the prohibitive system. It is not I'll
opportunity to examine the principles with atten
ton?
Free trade may, it appears to me, be con
sidered as the object to which society is tending
but protection ought to be the means Of arriving
at it, Suppose free trade established in a new
and poor country, what will that country pro
duce?

all those things which it requires in order to pros

in fact all the conditions which time alone can give
it. A transition, consequently, is Indispensable
and to preach free trade to country which doe
not vet enjoy all these advantages, is nearly a
equitable as to propose to child to contend witt
a grown man. Now, these principles being lalt
down, can it be pretended that Government
ought to protect its industry in an interest exelu
