since the establishment OF the empire we have been

Latest from Rochefort.
M. Henri Rochefort had just addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the Independent thinkers OF Lyons:
"Citizens-If religions of whatever nature they
may be, and whencesoever they may come did not
constitute permanent outrage on sill liberty and
progress tyrants would be less eager to restore
those auXiliaries OF absoutsm they seized
on power. We have sufficient shackles and chains
on our feet in private and political life without forg
ing others for our minds and ideas. The nrst duty
OF nation which desires TO be freeand when shall
we obtain liberty II not ut present?-s to cast of
that restraint called religion, and which leads
fatally to slavery when it does not conduct to mad
mesa. ] congratulate you therefore with all my
heart, citizens, on having had the happy idea OF
opposing to the professions and grimaces OF our
enemies the only communion we wish to employ,
which is that of republican convictions, and sent-
ments OF fraternity. clasp the hands OF all the In

Precious Guardians.
The Guardians OF st. Pancras had little scene on
Monday which will delight Americans, but not
Englishmen OF any type meeting was held In
the Vestry Hall to elect managers for the Board OF
the Central London District Asylum; the Guardians
split into two parties and the place turned into
a bear-garden. The reformers, as they call them
selves, were led by Messrs. Watkins and North who,
observing that great many justices were present,
thought 1t good policy to prevent any business
being done. They accordingly invited the roughs in
the gallery into the hall, and appealed to them
every moment, each appeal being answered
by an uproar OF the most astounding kind. The
justices were abused, hooted, and threatened amidst
lncessant shouting from the mob, Mr.. Wyatt In par
ticuar being told that he sought to be whipped at
the carts tall" and pushed and hustled; and Mr..
Corbett the Inspector, being singled out for hoot-
ings Amidst all this the justices and their friends
among the guardians sat smiling and placid, appa-
rently under the Impression that 1t was their duty
to bear all this as part OF the natural results OF self
government The very notion that they had right
to clear the hall, and order even disordery guard
ians to retire. seems never TO have entered their
heads.-LOnson paper.
