PARIS, July ". - The Ministerial
Council have prepared and presented to
the Emperor, basis on the Senatus con-
sultum, giving effect to the political re-
forms proposed in the Emperors mes
sage to the Corps. Since the propoga-
ton of the Corps Lsgislatif, the Depu-
ties of Lent held a meeting to consider
what action they should take under the
circumstances. NJ. Theirs presented
and explained protest against the atti-
tude of the Government toward the
Chamber, and then proceeded to develop
the programme of the political reform,
but bis propositions were considered too
monsrchial by the Democrats and re-
j.cted. M. Jules Favre advocated silence
for the present, and others favored dis
solution of the Chamber. The meeting
adjourned without arriving at any con-
clusion.
LONDON, July 22.-The Times says the
Ministry is resolved to preserve the

do not offer insuperable obstacles to the
passage of the bill.

Another dreadful colliery explosion
occurred yesterday at st. Helena, q small
place few miles east of Liverpool.
Over thirty people we're killed outright,
and sixty were injured. That whole sec
ton Of the country is in mourning.
The Times, abiding to the recent out
RACES in Ireland, says: Centuries OF
misrule have planted perverse views in
the Irish peasants breast, which must
disappear under the enlightened legisla-
ton, and for this reason we trust in such
measures Of justice as the Irish Church
bill, which should not be left unsettled a
moment longer than can be avoided, and
till it is settled there is little hope OF
tranquility in Ireland, and the grsvest
results are to be apprehended from its
temporary postponement Heavy in
deed is the responsibility OF those who
have power to secure the measure from
| delay"

Because of the accommodations extended

firstly and secondly, because the Rich

Another thing the "high bridge" on the
Southside railroad is frightful, and it is so
EASY to keep on to Baltimore after once
taking your seat in the comfortable Orange
cars at Lynchburg.
Perhaps I may be wrong, but it seems
to me that the most paying thing for Rich
