Rights of the French Senate.
During the debate on the sendtuS CORSuJtunl
in the French Senate on the 9th of September, NJ.
Bonjean asserted that he had no need to say that
than himself, and he would vote for it whether
his amendment were adopted or not. There
were, however, dangerous omissions in it, and
which he proposed to fill up.
The Senate in his opinion, already possessed
the right of making its own internal regulations.
The privilege of making interpretations was of
utility only to an opposition, and could in no
way attenuate conflict between the govern
ment and the legislative body; the right of veto
only provided for those situations in which the
| Intervention of the Senate was the least neceS-
| sary, as the Chief of the State had always the
power of refusing his sanction to bills. Besides,
! of all the modes of interpositon vote was the
most odious to those on whom it was imposed
and the most perilous to those who exercised it.
| Louis XVI, and President johnson, of the United
| States, had experienced that truth, although in
| a different measure.
PIOn-PlOn's Speech.
| The Paris journals continued to discuss at
| great length the speech of Prince Napoleon.
| The conservative papers, and particularly the
| Public and the Pdtrle, repudiate the Prince S
| views as too advanced. On the other hand, those
of the Tiers-parti range themselves generally on
| the side of his HIghness. The P,eSSe and the
| Liberte, as well as the Opinion Ndtiondle are
| favorable to the ideas expressed by the Empe-
ror's cousin. AS to the ReUeil it confines itself
| to saying that 'M. Napoleon Bonaparte has re
| commenced his anthems in favor of liberalism. ~
| The Temps the Steele and the AUenir are more
moderate, but remain at variance with the
| Prince.
The Earl Of ROsse.
| The family of the late Earl of Rose, the dis
| tinguished astronomer, have erected to his
| memory in the parish church, Parsonstown, Ire
| land, chaste cenotaph, with the following in
| scription chselled in ecclesiastical text with
| fabricated capitals
In remembrance of William, third Earl of
Rosse born June II, 1900; died October 81,
1867, after long suffering, borne as n brave
man and true Christian. Sprung from dis
tinguished race, eminently gifted both in body
and mind, his use of these blessings was worthy
of him. In the university he won the highest
honors; in the House of Commons when he re-
presented the Kings county, as afterwards in
the House of Lords, he was conspicuous for his
integrity, judgment, great practical talent and
devotion to the best interests of his country.
Admirable in all the relations of life, as hus-
band, d father, and landlord. He was re-
nowned in the loftiest range of science, and he
revealed to mankind, by the unrivalled creation
of his genius, wider vision OF the glory Of
God,
