IFT5M 10 INNS t0rrl4p9HacQt.I

For some time past there has been q mania
for manifestoes in the French political world.
First we had Marshal MacMahon'S notable
sDcech, to which NJ. R1Uher'8 letter must be
looked upon as a reply. We have had a letter
from Prince Napoleon and a circular from NJ.
de- Broglie, and now we have a letter from NJ.
THEIRS. All those who are, or aspire to be,
leaders of men, seem impelled, in succession,
t. Give utterance to their views and sentiments.
Following the distinguished examples set him,
we NAV expect that NJ. Gambetta will shortly
take pen in hand. 4 voice from Frohsdorf
vii. surely make itself heard, and it is presum-
able that the Comte de Paris will not alone
remain mute, Unless, indeed, the success that
attended his cousins former attempt in that
line should encourage linn to let the C0mte de
Chambord express their joint views. Attic pre-
sent moment, however, Ia par0Ie est q IA. IAlerS,
whose letter to NJ. lie Petit, candidate for
election in the Department of the Vienne, will
bv this time have reached you, at least in
substance. 1t is drawn up with the usual
epistolarv skill of its accomplished and distin-
guished author, and l need hardly say that
everything which proceeds from M. Theirs
commands immediate admittance and careful
consideration, but it cannot be said to contain
a great deal that is new. There was a lme
when the De6ats would have given it the pro-
minence of a leading column and large type,
but now it packs it away in a back page with
out a word of comment. The Rep@6taQue
Francaies. on the other hand, reproduceS it with
all the honours, and is of opinion that it is
destined to produce a great effect, not only in
France, but in Europe. The eulogiums of the

naming $50, or over 81 per cent, illegitimate-
ly. This fact speaks most unfavourably for
the decline of that demoralizing practice in
our community practice too rife in the West
Indian life .-concubinage. And the evil would
seem to be on the increase if we carefully COM
pare the figures d%enoting this item in the fnan-
cial year of l871-72, with those Of 1872-73.
In the former year there were baptized 156
boys and $50 girls of legitimate birth, and PIP
boys and 289 girls of iIIegitimate birtn, making
the total, respectively of 500 Iegitimates and
SCI illegitimates, or not quite s. per cent Of
the total numbero of births, while the figures given
above for 1@872-73, respectively 303 Iegitimate8
and go iilegitimates, show somewhat over 81
per cent. Our jamaican neighbours deplore
this practice as being even in high places, and
we have as just reason to deplore its existence
even among some of our school-teachers.
Other selections OF these statistical items
will engage attention subsequently,

GREAT BRITAIN.

NldECIl II,
LoEDoN,-The weather this morning is very UNI
favourable for the great event Of the day-the
entry into London of the Duke Of Edinburgh and
his bride. A binding snoWstorm prevails, and
the ground is covered to the depth of three inches
But despite these drawbacks, great crowds, fully
equal to those which gathered to witness the pro-
cession on the occasion Of the Thanksgiving ser
vices for the recovery Of the Prince Of Wales,
have assembled along tho route from Paddington
Station to buckingham Palace to greet the royal
couple. The railway trains from the country are
crammcd with people, and the City Of London is
nearly deserted, most every one having gone to
the West End. Vehicles Of all descriptions are
excluded from the route and the streets in the i'm
mediate vicinity.
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh made
the entry into the metropolis to-day. The pro-
gramme was strictly carried out, although snow
fell from the beginning to tho end of the ccrcmo-
MES. The procession moved shortly after noon
from Paddington station through Oxford and Re
gent streets to Buckingham Palace. Notwith-
standing the unpropitious weather their Royal
EIghnesses rode in open carriages, and the
streets along the route were crowded with specta-
tors. The houses on both sides were literally
decorated, and the roadway lined with soldiers
and marines from the station to the palace. The
enthusiasm as the Duke and his bride passed bv
was intense, cheer following cheer from one end
OF the route to the other. On their arrival at
buckingham Palace, in front Of which immense
masses of spectators had accumulated, the royal
party appeared uncovered upon the balcony and
were greeted with every manifestation Of loyalty
and affection by the people, whose number at that
point is estimated at 80 900.
Tonight the entire West End was brilliantly
illuminated and dense crowds block the streets.
A torchlight procession of medical students
marched to Buckingham Palace and serenaded
the royal pair.
The crowds which witnessed the procession
were at some points SO dense and the pressure SO
great that several accidents occurred. A stand at
Charing Cross broke down, throwing some thirty
persons to the ground. The police report the
total casualties during the day at four killed and
twenty-four injured.
In the House of Commons to-day the admins
tration of the oath to members was COMPLETED.
after which a motion to adjourn until the 10Th
inst. was adopted.

The following iiu'y''tt taken from Fri

ed but little excitement, and they
passed from place to place, attract
ing but little attention from out.
siders Yesterday afternoon, as if
by magic the whole thing changed,
and the streets became thronged
with an excited crowd. Some
twelve Or fourteen ladies appeared
in front Of the "Webtoot" saloon,
owned by Walter Mofett, and com.
menced praying and singing, It
was d signal for the gathering Of q
crowd, which came fiockirg in from
every direction, and in a short time
the sidewalk in front Of the estab-
lishmeht was completely bIockaded,
and pedestrians were either obliged
to content themselves with the mid
die Of the street Or cross to The
other side. AS soon as IS the singing
commenced the proprietor appeared,
followed by a large hand organ,
which was placed in the door, and
a man named Fritz commenced
turning the crank, the Instrument
in itself creating but little disturb
ance. Very soon,' however, two
little boys appeared, beating gongs,
and creating q din easier imagined
than described. The ladies, how
ever, seemed determined to brave
it out, and continued their exercises ,a
abatement. Song after
song, trg; and prayer i. after : prayer W, were
the crowd meanwhile I in! !.
creasing very fast, crowding and
jsmming forward, anxious to see
all.that ssgoingon. tOmnibuses,
express and baggage wagons, hacks
ard drays, blockaded the street,
while men and boys acted in the
same capacity on the sidewalks.
The proprietor blew his whistle
time and again; witisoute response.
AS for keeping the sidewalks clear,
It seemed an hitter impossibility, q
way wheno opened, closing
in an instant by the surging Of the
crowd. The ladies had probably
been there about an hour when
james Good tbebar-tendet, stepped
ont Of the side door, and without
further ceremony turned the. water
on from a near;hydrant, and with
the stream drove che crowd in front
oft, wetting the sidewalk down
most thoroughly. Theladies, how-
ever, were in front Ofthe building,
while the hydrant was On the'sOuth
