LONDON, April TO- 1871.
Just as the struggles Of the Paris Commune APP
pear to be coming to a close. and the faacy OF
section hoping to govern the natIon being proved,
republicans in the city determined to organize
q demonstration to express sympathy with their
French brethren. The working classes were In
vted to meet in thear majestic numbers at different
points of London, and with banner and nag proudly
dying, march to the martial strains OF brass banos
to the general trysting place-Traiagar square
thence republican London would wend it5 way in
columns OF unDroken line, composed of thoughtful,
Woodworking PATRIOTS to Hyde Park, ana there,
IN the very heart OF aristocracy and to
the very teeth or their proud enemies, declare
their programme OF Hbert5, 67atttG Cd rrdernue or,
rather their realizing OF this much-abused pocket
constitution. Unfortunately for the success OF
the organization the day-last Sunday-was very
shOwery, and the ram, which fell from the heavy
clouds That hung usually bright and cheer
full metropolis ~ spared neither monarchist nor re-
publican-damped the enthusiasm OF the latter, and
so diminished the numerical strength. Another
cause also helped the same result-vlz.,
THE IRISH SECTION WAS ABSENT
and took no part due, probably. to the sacreg0us
conduct of the Paris COMMUNISTS. Be 1t from these
causes tnat moderate republicans feared the eX-
IRENE or ultra views VI these men, know not but
certain 1t is that the demonstration was failure
ana The actors In it came for the laughter OF spec
tators who watched them travelling through the
mud and water oil the streets. Ten banners hung
dejectedly and chung to the poles that supported
them. Two brewers caps, h0ised In mid AIR, were
played the .Marselllaise' TIL phllanthl opnlsts
ST. James street, and elsewhere along the route,
turned out tneir quota Of gazers. The general opn
ion was that the whole affair had ended In Hdsco,
THE DEMONSTRATION WAS FAILURE.
Notwithstanding this want OF success, to those
who Will calmly consider the matter apart from all
prejudice II must be clear that 1t Is by no means
unlmportant That, ON day when all the lates

classes anu march them several miles to pass vote

frmer root here than quiet John Bull Will acknow.

centres Of labor have branch establishments of tile
parent society In London, and can each furnish
LARGE NUMBER OF ARDENT REPUBLICANS.
The Hon. AuberOn Herbert, NJ r., was called to
account by the republican portion OF his constitu-
ency Tor voting the dowry OF the Princess Louise on
Inc for having made sucn mistake, added: -"Wnen
question OF successor to her Majesty arrives the
people win nave the right to make what arrange:
ment they may wish with the then government"
He regrets his speech now, but the tact remains that
| this republican section can and does make itself
heard mole and more. 1t Is growing, and may take
some time In arriving 9t maturity. Is at present
best expressed as the dissatisfaction Of labor with
and gradually moulding 1t.
| THE NEW LICENSING BILL.
Mr.. Bruce's new Licensing bill has stirred up the

they purchased their business for flCo Oo0 but
that II the ne bill passed into law the value would

brought about IL not stated. and exists probably

complain natural; Tor II they 90 wrong, they are

certain period these fines amount to named sum

To pay the same price Tor 1t, the fears ana CON-

without reason.
FREE TRADE IN LAW.

absurdity Of compelling students 10 eat so many

ARTISTIC.
Mr.. Herbert II. A., has startled artists by water
color drawing, which he exhibits ut the Institute
OF Painters In Water Color. Ii seems 10 have
been tacltly understood that grand and solemn
themes were not within the scope OF water color
artists; but Mr.. Herbert has undeceived them by his

our Lord.r Mary Is the same creation or q JeWlsn
type often seen In his works; the large lustrous
eyes, copies OF those OF his daughter; the face
OF Mary expressive OF so much GRIEF, but supported
by the consciousness OF performing an act accept

will follow his example and give something
better than that winch OFTEN adoruS our walls,
