De Lamartine, publisher of the journal Le Puys, proposes to him to make a new ISth Fructidor, as did Louis’ uncle. This would consist in the revo. eation of the law of May 31, 1850, the object of which was to restrain the number of electors—then to name him (M. De Lamartine) President of the Council of Ministers, with the power of cheosing i's agues—and lastly, to renounce hig jesire of Deing s candidate for the Presidency, and to confide himeslf in the wishes of the parton All this is very well; but it may be tunsidered as Utopian.

Mr. Alexander Cunningham. Mr. Beverly Parkis. Mr. William Russell. Mr. William Harrie. We understand that Mr. Jacob Bell, the builder of the Pacific, had expressed his intention of pre- senting a suitable testimonial to the engineers for } the rapid run to New York, which will doubtless | be confirmed when he hears of the present extraor- dinary performance. Mr. Beil has been long fa- meus for the ships launched from his yard, the Gar- rick, Sheridan, haaspearé, and Koscius being poe J the number. He appears to have been equally successful in his ocean-going steamers, the Paeific and Baltic, both built by him, having so far done him every credit. The performances of | Capt. Nye, in the old Independence, are still fresh . in our memory ; and he cau now also boast of hav- ing made the fastest passage, by steam, both ways, onrecord. The Pacitic had head winds daring one- third of the passage.

It may be re- membered, a few weeks since, a very rich article from that paper created no little excitement, or ra- ther amusement, amongst English readers, from its absurd ictions as to the politieal consequences xhibition. England was to be filled with socialists and red republicans. Liverpool was to be the seat of a new republic, with a line of steamers direct to California. The article did certainly make a sensation, but not of the kind imagined by the writer. Inthe Herald just received, after referring to his predictions, the editor tells his readers:—- * These very natural speculations, arising upon the view which the motley emigration afforded, it now ap) |, have created quite a sensation in England, and even in Parliament severalfdistinguished mem- bers have entered into a discussion upon the subject. Such’an extraordinary excitement on the part of the sober, quiet, and brave people, who have existed in a state of comparative peace at home for a thousand years, Was not anticipated. As soon as the news and the New York Hpratd reached London, it ap- peers to have excited extraordinary apprehensions. fhe Prime Minister sent off a note instanter tor che Duke of Wellington; the ministers tendered their resignations ; Lord Stanley tried to form a new ca- binet in vain, and the politicians, sa conservative, So grave, so self-confident in the yeomanry and in the busines: population, did not even dare to venture on a general election, to form a new and reliable go- vernment. England trembles from top to toe, and even the Queen, who has considerable nerve, was so much frightened, that Prince Albert regretted that an American newspaper, containing such alarming suggestions, should have reached the shores of ‘happy Apprehensions of this character soon begat worse tears, and wich the speed which an emergency only can create, thirty thousand bril- liant bayonets bristled in the neighborhood of Hyde Park; besides, we know not how many parks of ar- tillery were ready at a moment’s cail. In the meantime, to fill up the space between the hour of larm and the probable waste of a good deal of “villainous saltpetre,’ the English press brought its batteries to bear on the New York Herald, abusing it in the most magnificent language. The Times, the thunderer among the small artillery, treated the menacing intelligence with a terrible anxiety to be cool, aad devoted its seried columas, day aiter day, to’ explanations, atfecting to laut, and appearing very much like a traveller in so:me great, dark forest, whistling to keep his courage up, while looking backward and forward to see some frightful spectre at every turn.” We fancy we can detect the writer. We know the old Roman hand. it is our old friend, the War Correspondens of the Rowdy Jowrnal, at work again. “We are glad to find him thus green in his oid age. However, the New York Herald, finding there is no chance of its forebodings being verified, states that the whole thing was a joke. The writer says:—We can as- sure our contemporaries across the water, that though we gave them the information that acted like yeast ia setting the population and govern- ment into a ferment, and though we threw oat the suggestion that tae red republicans and white- livered republicans going from here might be trou- blesome, we ourvelt had had no real fears on the subject.’ Cruel writer thus to alarin the English public with the picture of raw heads and bloody bones, while all the while the writer knew there was nothing in it. Whata playful creature it is. (From the Liverpool Chronicle, May 24.) The American press frequently exhibits an ex- aggerated droilery which passes for wit, and whiea isread with considerable gusto on this qde of the Atlantic. For this species of composition, the New York Herald has long been famous, and to this fea- ture, perhaps, may be atrributed much of its [uro- pean popularity. Batdrollery cannot always be sus- Uinel3 the medium between the burlesque and the absurd may not always be hit; and waat was in- tended to amuse may possibly, like vaulting ambi- tion, overleap itself, and produce results the very | opposite For instance, when our New York con- temporary assured us, a few months ago, that a great revolution was impending in Englaad, in the carrying out of which we were to have the aid ofany number of American sympathisers, every one laugh- ed heartily, and felt the force of the old saw, * if you want vo hear something novel about yourself, o from home.” The idea was n ‘t the less ridieu- ious, because the New York Herald told us that Lan- cashire and North Wales were going ta set up a re- publican form of government, of which Liverpool was to be the capital. To those on the spot, the pronostication was known to savor of tha: peculiar drollery in which the New Yurk Herald havi:ually indulges. But such a statement, if it cawe from the inmete of a lunatic asylam, could not fail to arrest attention; and, ordingly, the English preas, which, for the most part, received the banter ofthe Amerisan editor with good temper, retorted wp asimilar vein. Here the quiz might have rest- ed, and our transatlantic cousin would have reeeived the credit of ingenuity in giving the world a clever jew Mesprit. ‘e are sorry, for the writer's credit, that he did not rest satisfied with hs first triumph. If wit is difficult to define, it is still more difficult to sustain ; but the humblest cap is capable of marking the line which separates a funny article from a string of positive falsehoods. The ew York Herald, which came +o hand by the last steamer, contains the following allusion to its revo- | lutionary prophecy : — As soon as the pews and the New York Herald reached London, it appears to have excited extraordinary appre- hevsions.

We know very well that they never will be caught in anything where it would be possil tion their courage—for we cannot call in qury which does not exist—and there declaimers about lib- erty are perfectly harmless. however, if the London po- lice will only cateh some of them, brush their white hats and dust their coats, not forgetting to apply a litte water to their faces, we shall be much obliged for the favor, for we are very apxious always to mak» specimens uumanity”’ from Ubi side of the water as respectable arauee a possible. eA mericat who visit the great Exhibition must feel inti obliged for the solicitude bere shown on their behalf. We have yet to learn that cowardice is characteristic of Americans; but on this point, tne editor of the New Vork Herald may ‘obably be an authority. That the attention of the dou police should be concentrated va the mo ments of Brother Jonathan, is a suggestion which comes, strangely enough, from New york. Whether meant seriously or otherwise, the imputation we believe to be utterly unfounded.

It is still to New England that the American people look for those thinkei writers who constitute the strongest link bi the vigorous activity of the mature wisdom and experience of Europe, with all her accumulated treasures of literature and the jee inheritance of the human mind. e but especially in the Senate, that “little member” who is most versed in the science and the tra- ditions of politics, in the jurisprudence of the commonwealth, and in the strict obligations of right andf duty, speaks with an authority far above the representatives of regions and States which have constructed their sevemmens with as much rough alacrity as they have shown in building their log- houses or hewing down the primeval forest. With a view to the gener government, the character and influence of tho representatives of New England are, therefore, a Nor can it eon New World and the | loubted, that in the assemblies of the Union, | | policy of the American | matter of considerable importance ; and our atten- | tion has thus been called to the election of Mr. Charles Sumner, as a member of the Senate of the United States for Massachusetts. Mr. Sumner is a lawyer of some eminence in Boston, and one of the junior members of that society which the names of Channing, of Story, and of Prescott, have reudered illustrious in letters and in the interpretation of law. The tendency of universal suffrage has com- monly been found to repel men of great cultivation and refinement from ane office in the United States; and according! y the intluence of the emi- nent men to whom we have just alluded has been indirect, though not the less perceptible and honor- able to themseives. Mr. Sumner, following their example, was no candidate for political honors or duties; but the agitation of last year against the application of the Fugitive Slave law, first called hun from private life to assert with great energy what the people of Massachusetts held to be the ia- violable privileges of their constitution. The ap- plication of the law to ranaways in the territory of Massachusetts has already given rise to serious dis- turbanees, and the Marshal of the United States has been threatened with resistance in the exesu- tion of his Warrants. On the ground of principle and moral obligation, a large portion of the people of New England eagerly protest against that law; and accordingly a contest of unusual severity took place in the Assembly of the State, which ended in the election of Mr. Sumuaer to the office of Senator of the United States by a majority of one, upon the 26th ballot. The successful candidate had some forward in no connection with existing parties. He had, on various occasivns, expressed nimself with force against the annexation of Texas, and against the pecuniary transgressions of the repudiating States. He was opposed by the protectionisss of Massachusetts as a partisan of greater freedom of trade, and by the adherents of the government as an opponent of the Fagitive Slave act. Yet such was the strength of feeling in Massachusetts on that point alone, that the free soil party have suc- ceeded in sending to the Senate the most active and able representative of their cause, and Mr. Sumaer enters upon his osteasible political career uader these remarkable and flattering circumstances. | | | Appeal. | Wherever slavery exists, but especially where it | exiats in close connection with the laws and insti- tutions of a free people, the necessity of defending that violation of all human rights by extraordinary provisions gives rise to strange contradictions and anomalies. Thus in the United Scates there is a large class of the population to whow all iastrao- tion is forbidden, aud the very laws of God and na- ture are unknown. There are harbors in which free men of color on board vessels from those lands where slavery is abolished, may be torn from their flag and insurcerated by the myrmidons of a slave police. There are man hunters authorized by law to purrue their human game through the wide territories of the Union, so that the sritish frontier alone can save the runaway from the blood- hounds of tis owner. No doubt it may be said, with truth, that these outrages on the rights and feelings of mankind are necessary ¢ msequences of the state of things in whieh they originate; and hence, while the Northern American Sta‘es have been en- deavoring to remove this stigma from the nation, | their Southern confederates have construed this Opposition into a direct attempt to abolish slavery. In this there is some exaggeration. The Northern States have unquestionavly no right two interfere with the peculiar institutions of the South; bat neither have the Southern States any right, except by express agreement, to intrude upon the liberties of other communities. In the territorial arra’ ments which were made last year, aad especiaily by the admission of such States as California to the Union, on the basis of the exclusion of slave labor, | the slaveholding interest received a severe blow; but, in exchange, it obtained the Fugitive Slave act. The government has remained honorably aithful to that act, however repugnant it must be to the personal feelisgs of many American states- men, because the measure was regarded as oue part ofa mutual concession, and served, therefore, to lull the rising animosity and separatism of the South. But this cor ration does not render it less repugnant to the fundament if liberty and State sovereignty in the and the election of Mr. Sumner to the Senate is everywhere regarded n emphatic declaration on the part of his own State that the law is at least not to remain, in its present form, unassailed. The South responds to such an election by louder decla- rations of its resistance to all infractions on its local institutions, even at the sacrifice of the integrity of the Union; and, although we utterly discredit the approach of that dissolution of the c>nfederation, which is the habitual bugbear of American politi- cians, it is evident that the contest of these vital questions will be carried on with undiminished ve- | bemence.

The result of the present census appears to be that the Irish bear to the gross population 2.07 per cent more than they did to that of 1541; but this last cipher gives no adequate idea of the increase of those who may be strictly considered as belonging to Ireland, and who are domiciled within the lunits of Glasgow and its suburbs. Within the last ten years the children born of Irish parents have been very numerous; but theee, of course, are all put under the head of Scotch. While, therofore, the appears only to be an increase of 2.07 per cent in in present enumeration, above that which the Irish bore to the population of 1541, the real number of inhabitants whoare imbued with Irish characteris. tics, habits, feelings, and religious sentimen' infinitely greater. It is probable that this class Amounts te between one-fourth and one-fifth of the whole population.

Tour, May 14.—This city continues to be ina very unquiet state, aod, notwithstanding the vigi- lance of the French troops and police, assassination is carried on to a fearful extent.

As for the arms, they will be hidden, and not delivered up; and as for prehibiting walking sticks, they might as well pretend to prohibit pocket handkerchiefs. ‘The various attacks upon the French soldiers have generally proceeded from preveeation on the part of the latter, who call the Romans “ Les Brigands Romains,” and take liberties with the women, par- ticularly in Trastevere, which contains a ferocious population. As for the generosity of the French, the Romans do not comprehend in what way that enerosity has been shown, and conclude by assert- ing that all their miseries and sufferings procoed from French intervention. With respect to the large sticks, which General Gemeau makes such fuss about, I can state that the only persons in the Corso carrying bludgeons are the Roman sbirri. Sweden and Norway.
