SiR,-An excellent letter from Mr. Goldwin Smnith in the Daily ?? lately, and a very remarkable paper from a leading Fenian in the last number of Tinsleys' .Mhagazine, obviously genuine, and wonder- fully well written, bring out into strong relief the fact, which has been more than once hinted at in the Pail AJlai ...

... TIl-L Emperor's speech at the opening of the Legislature, and the partially inspired pamphlet which was contributed a day or two ago to the political scriptures of Europe, give us in general terms a fair account of the French conception, and especially of the con- ception entertained by the French Emperor, of the position and duties of France in Europe. The fact that the French and their ...

... ROmE, NAta. 5. TiHm reported arrival of the French at Civita Vecchia obtained no credence in Rxome, and even when the news was authenticated, nobody believed that they would advance to the Eternal City.

In addition to four purely 'vocal concerts, he proposes to give four orchestral ...

... ROME AND ITALY. The Slecalar hopes there are few English Liberals who can read the news of this week from Italy without a sensation of almost personal shame. The cause which, almost alone among Continental causes, has roused them to enthusiasm, and the King whom, almost alone among kings, they have heartily supported, have alike broken down. A miserable intrigue has ended in a yet more ...

IN the career of the late member for Manchester, which has just ended so prematurely, are certain points well worthy of notice, illustrating, as they do, some peculiarities of the profession to which he belonged. Of Mr. James's ability there was but one opinion. For many years he had had no superior at or within the bar. Though not eloquent, and scarcely fluent, he was always clear and ...
