France. It Seems That The Project Of Law...
FRANCE . It seems that the project of law on pensions to the labouring classes is creating a conslderahledegree of excitement . It is stated ( says the « S-ecle ' ) that the President of the Republic had charged the minister of commerce and airiculturs with presenting lbs pnvjsctof law in question to the Chamber , without informing the rest of the cabinet of tie
fact . M . Dumas , iu order 10 palliate anything unusual that might ba found in this conduct , communicated the " project of law to the Committee on Public Assistance . Hence , great discontent of ihe President on the one hand , and of the ministry on the other , M . Fould , especially , being very much annoyed by the steps taken by 11 . Dumas . Hence , alsa ,-rumours of M- Fonld' s rasi . 5 n . ui 0 n . Itf . is no « v said that the project r . f law will meet with many obstacles that it will not he presented .
Amongst the petitioas which were rejected in the Assembly , on Saturday , was one for replacing on its pedestal in the Court of Louvre , the statute of the Duke of Orleans . The resignation of their posts given in by M . De Lamoriciere , envoy at Vienna , inspires the * Constitutior . el , ' now the organ of the Slysep , with the following reflections : — « The resignation of these two diplomatists may be regretted for the sake of our external affairs . But does it not con & rm the words of the President of the Republic , when he said that France did not see the influence of the elect of Dec . 10 ? Those wlnm he had named a ;
his representatives abroad did not feel that influence either ; and they considered themselves , it seems , not as the representatives of the President of the Republic , but of the ministry . The policy inculcated in the message will change all this . Whoever will accept such functions henceforward must represent tbe policy of the President , and the duration of diplomatic functions may be at least as long at that of the presidential power , attributed by the constitution . There is now no mis'ake about the President's meaning . He will have r ? . en devoted to his person , and none other . This portends ill for the duration Of the present ministry .
The War against the Press . —The ' Democratic Pacifique' was on Thursday seized by tbe authorities , for stating that the President of the Republic had not paid his subscription of 50 , 0307 . to the * Cues Oavrieis . * The legal charge alleged against tbe paper is—1 st , an attack against the person of the President of the Republic ; and 2 dly , excitement to hatred and contempt of the Government of the Republic . The responsible editor o ? the Socialist journal the ' Paysan' has just been condemned by tbe Court of Assizes ot the Aisne to one year ' s impiisonment and 8 , 0001 . fine , and , in consequence of its not being bis first offence , the journal has been suspended for two months .
More Persecutions . —The correspondent of the ' Daily News' wr ites : —M . F . Barrot , is prepar ing a system of repressive laws against the spread of socialism , which I fear may have for result to fetter tbe press of this country suit more than it is already , hut of which no exact defalk have as ret transp ired . It will be remembered that the papers spoke some time since of the arrest of an Englishman named Forbes , who had taken an active part in the Roman insurrection , and who subsequently reached Genoa with the other refugees . 1 understand that the real cause of his arrest and detention is the charge against bira of being the bearer of letters from 3 Lzzu : i to two persons , also well known in the Italian revolution , named Zambianca and Campana , and which letter , 1 aii told , requested their co-operation in some coup dz main . —Times .
Duels . —Paris , Saturday . —The duel pending between 11 . Pierre Bonaparte and M . de Rovigo , took place tbis morning with swords . The former having received several slight wounds , succeeded in disarming the latter . M . Bonaparte wished to continue the duel w ' uh pistols , but the seconds oi M . de Rovigo refused to accede to the proposal . Another duel took place on Sunday , ia a Md near the railroad station at St . Germain , between SL Pierre Bonaparte and M . Adrien de la Valette . principal editor of the' Assembles Nationale . ' This
meeting arose out of a letter hy M . Pierre . Bonaparte to 1 L de la Valette , on lha suhj-ct of an article which had appeared in his journal , of which he was not the author , but of which be had assumed the rc ? pans ; biiity . ~ The terras of the letter being considered insulting , M . de la Valette demanded satisfaction of M . Bonaparte . After firing a shot each at twtn y paces , the affair was declared terminated , and the parlies left the ground . In consequence of these I ' rtqnant duals srbin * out of debates ia the Assembly , it is said t ! ie Attorney General will demand authority to prosecute .
Paris , JIoxday . — S'ime very important measures were introduced by the Ministers in the silting of the Assembly to-day . The Minister of tha Finsnces brought in a hill for the purpesa of authorhiug the hank of France t-i iscrease the circulation of its notes to 52 a millions of francs . The Minister of Commerce brought in a bill for the establishment of a pension fund for old men . The Minister of War brought in a bill for the formation of an additional bittalion of the forei gn legion , into which the men in the sis battalions of the Garde Mvbile , which are to be disbanded tn the Slit of December , will be allowed ta enter .
The Minister of Publis Works brought in a bill demanding a credit of 75 , 000 f ., for the arrangement of the old Chamber of Deputies as a place of meeting ; for the Legislative Assembly . Some difference is said to have arisen between the President o * the Republic an ! Lord Normandb y . on the subject of the recall of the French fleet from the Levant . Lord Norraandhy , it is said , wished the President to join England in obtaining some further concessions from Russia in favour of Turkey , which the President declined . Upon this Lord JJormandby accused France of deserting England at tbe mo ment when the latter was taking a decisive attitude . Tbis rumour requires confirmation .
A number of Legitimists , assembled at a house in the Rue Ranfort , were arrested on Sunday night by 9 body of city sergeants , supported by a company of the line . MM . Cremieux , Michel ( de Bourges , ) and Jules Favre , representatives of the people , and the other advocates engaged in the defence of the prisoners of "VeKailhs , with the exception of M . CoralH , and M Henri Arniami , are cited to appear on the 5 th of December In-fore the Council of Discipline of the Order of Advocates , to answer for their conduct in protesting against the decision of the High Court and abandoning the defence of the prisoners . The Council is competent to inflict the graduated pun ishment of admonition , reprimand , censure , suspension , and expulsion from the Order , according to the offence committed .
Paris , Wednesday . —In the Legislative Assembly yesterday the bill relating to coalitions , which has been so long under discus . ion , was definitively adopted . Arrest of Legitimists . —The 'Moniteur du Sou ** of yesterday evening contains tbe following : — 4 police having some time since received information that unauthorised political meetings were held at No . 10 , Rue Rumford , about ten o ' clock on Monday night several commissaries of police , accompanied by a brigade of sergens de ville and a
company of troops of the line , went to the house and arrested sixteen individuals . Among the persons arrested are mentioned an ex garde du corps , two police agents recsntly dismissed , and an ecclesiastic attached to the church of St . Severin . The persons arrested were taken to the prefecture , and several commissaries of police were occupied the whole night in interrogating them . Searches were made at all their respective residences . An investigation has been entered into , and the whele of the party p laced at the disposal of the Procureurof the Rep ublic . *
GERMANY . yROBABHITY OF A RUPTURE BETWEEX AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA . The main feature of intelligence from Germany is en important telegraphic despatch frosi Berlin . Austr ia , it seems , has protested in the most formal manner against the meeting of the German Diet at Erfurt , and has threatened to interfere by arras , if necessary , to prevent it . The Prussian government , on the other hand , firmly persists ia it s resolution to e nvoke ihe Diet in Janua-y . Tie project of law to that effect , as prepared by the Council of Administ aHon , fixing the 3 Ut of January for lie date , and Erfurt for the place of the assembly , was approved of in a Cabinet Council held at Berlin . Prussia has leplied to the threat of Austin by saying that she w 31 brave her anger . The following is a translation of tbe telegraphic despatch : — ' Berlin , Friday Evening , Nov . 23 .

Total population of 2 G States 2 S . 0 S 0 € < SO 200 The population of the two Ilohenzollerns . whose position is not yet defined , may be taken at 07 , 000 . Now , supposing the above cyphers to be tolerabh correct , and that the number of deputies be returned in ihe proportions now fixed and given above , it shows that Prussia will be represented by 161 , and the twenty-five states , not including the Ilohenzollerns , by seventy-five depuihs , leaving a preponderance of eighty-six in favour of Prussia , so that if Prussians are Prussians and animated with the A ghtest spirit of nationality , or particularismus as it
is called , it is needless to observe that the smaller states would be attached as mere appendages to the care of the dominant power . Supposing , even , that Hanover and Saxony had not withdrawn , nr were tu be compelled to resume their adhesion , either by their Chambers or the force of events , the supremacy of Prussia would not be seriously affected , for the population of Hanover and Saxony , taken at a maximum , cannot exceed 1 , 800 , 000 and 1 850 , 000 respectively , which would give eighteen deputies for thsformr , and nineteen for the latter , or thirtyseven for bath , still leaving a majority of forty-nine in favour of Prussia .
Prussia . — The prosecutions for publishing and chelating the resolution of the section of the National Assembly after its dispersion during the state of siege , denying the right of the Brandenhurgh Ministry to raise or dispose of the public taxes , wiis decided . The accused parties were inhabitants of ihe district of Liebenwalde . None of the facts were denied , and the State prosecutor pressed for a verdict of guilty on the charge of attempting to excite the people to revolt against the authorities . As ibis prosecution is the first of a scries , tbe decision of the jury , which was a full acquittal of ail the accused , is important .
Hamburgh , Nov , 23 rd . —You wii ] remember tbe treatment experienced by the Prussian soldiers , while marching through here , some months ago , in consequence of which we are still burthened with the maintenance of a large body of Prussian troops . One of the results of those proceedings was the introduction into the convention by The senate of a bill for tha purpose of punishing press offences in a more immediate and direct mode than by the law of defamation . This law first was put in forca before the loner coart on the 10 th u ! t . The editor of the ' Ffiyschuis' was fined fifty marks ( about £ 3 . ) with csts , for an article a : aiust the Kin » of Prussia . Yesterday three other actions were brought by the nublic prosecutor against the etiitor of the 'Opponent ' for as mnuy articles tending to excite haired and
contempt towards the highest authorities of the citv , and calculated to offend foreign govern .-nents in friendly relations with Hamburgh ( id est the King of Prussia . ) Dr . Gillots was the counsel for tin defence in the first and second , and Dr . Trifai in the third cause . Dr . Tnttan sought to prove the truth of the allegation of his client that the senate had imposed on the people , for that it had not performed its promise of introducing the constitution as fixed by the Constituent Assembly . He had for his purpose requested the court in writing to summon all the members of the association as witnesses for the defence . Before he opened his pleading the presiding judge observed that the court could not admit the plea of the truth of the libel , because it would tend to defame the honour of the highest authoritv in the state . Dr . Triitan said he was
nut prepared with any other defence , and f t he must protest against tbe suppression of tu -ruth , and by so doing denying j-istice to the ccused party . As he was very much applauded bj the audience , the judge ordered the court to be cleared . When the proceedings were resumed . Dr . Triilan insisted upon proving the truth , but was not allowed to do so . The President asked the defendant wheiher he would defend himself , but he declined , for want of legal knowledge . Two other advocates were r < = ques" ""i to defend him . One said he would not p lead befot 3 5 a * i a court ; the other , that he could only follow Dr . 7 / ittan in his defence . The public prosecutor proposed to adjourn until Monday next , to which the court agreed . Tbis affair is , of course , creating a good deal of sensation .
ITALY . HOME , Nov . la . —This is the anniversary of Count Rossi ' s assassination , and to-morrow that of the attack on the Quirinal . Some demonstration has been feared . , and strong patrols parade the city alter dark . Ail is , however , quiet , and the Pope ' s return is again announced as likel y to take j , lace before the end of the month . The Roman correspondent of the' Daitv News , ' says : — ' A curious anecdote Fas been communicated to me from a town in La JIarca , trhere an Austrian
officer was billeted in a private house . The master of the house had a fowling-piece in his possession , and lately shot a hare with it , offering the product of his morning ' s sport to his Austrian guest . ' I accept your hare freely , ' said the oflicer ; but how did you kilt it ? Here are the marks of fire-arms . I shall be obliged to accuse you of concealing prohibited weapons ; I regret it ' but it is my duty . ' He did so . and by the time that tbe hare was ready for the officer ' s table his unfortunate landlord was undergoing fifty bastinadoes . '
PIEDMONT . —Letters from Turin of the 21 st ult , announce that the chambers were dissolved on that day by a royal proclamation , which at the same time convoked new ones . The elections will take plate en the 9 h inst ., and the new houses will meet on the 20 th .
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . The « Oi t Deutsche Post , ' which seems lo look upon the partition of Turkey as imminent , mode-th urges Austria to secure the ri ght bank of the Danube to its mouth , since it is too late to come in for any share of the spoil on the left bank , and to encourage tbe disposition of Bosnia to revolt from the Porte . Vienna , Nov . 21 . —Tie ambition of the Servians to fsrra a separate nationality , and to have a distinct territory assigned to them , has at i « . n , t ., 1 ) e ! . „ j _ tied . Tbe last decree , which the Emperor signed before his departure for Prague , established tbe
Servian woiwodeshi p as an independent province , with an independent Servian administration , a landtag of its own , and all the privileges which belong to a crown land of the empire . The hanat of Temeswar and the Servian districts cf Ruma and ISlofc , will he included in the woiwodeship . The Emperor will be styled grand-woiwede , and the governor , to which post , General Maverhoffer is ap pointed , vtce-woiwode . This measure of the government , however liberal it may appear towards the Servians , is a fresh and important spoliation of the kingdom of Hungary , which loses thereb y the mot fertile portion of its territory , and those rich ai .
source , that Austria has addressed a formal protest against the convocation of the Parliament , and threatens armed intervention . Hereupon the Council of Ministers definitively vated the electoral law for the new parliament , and then decreed an answer , in which the rights of Germany are energetically maintained , and in which it is declared that they are prrpared to meet armed intervention . The answer has already been despatched . - The ' Prussian Moniteur , ' which has just been issued , contains the protocal of tbe Council of Administration of the 17 th of November , decreeing the 31 st of January for the elections , for tbe Parliament . " It will he in the proportion of one fur 100 . 000 souls in all large states , and that in cases where the
remnant exceeds 50 , 000 , this remnant wiil be calculated as entitling the state to elect an additional raembsr ; fW example , Sase Weimar , whose population exceeds 260 , 000 , will elect three members . All states also whose populati-. n amounts to 50 , 000 , and is less than 100 , 000 , as for instance the three Anhalts , Lnbrck , & c , will be . entitled to elect one deputy each .

luvial deposits of the Save , Drave , Danube , and Theiss , which make this region one of the most abundant com countries in the world . Nor does the injustice stop here , but a considerable population of German settlers , who both as traders and farmers , and in all other respects are superior to the Servians , are handed over to the sway of a race whose ignorance and barbarism they despise . A petitumwas extensively signed by these substantial colonists , praying that they might be saved from this misfortune , but the tyranny of the Servian function , aries prevented its circulation . The most
considerable Servian emigration into the region of the new woiwodeship took place in the reign of the emperor Leopold I ., who in 1690 allowed between thirty-six thousand and thirty-seven thousand Servian families of the Greek schismatic religion , tinder the guidance of their patriarch Arsenius Cernowics to SftUle on the . lands between the . Save and Drave , and at the moulh of the Theiss , which 150 years of Turkish domination had not perhaps done much to improve . The independence of their church , free exercise of their religion , right to choose their own patriarch and woiwode , and to have their internal affairs
administered by Servian magistrates , were privileges bestowed upon the emigrants ia reward for the aid which they bad brought against the Ottoman in . vaders . The peace treaties of Carlowitz and Passarawitz , which abridged the stay of the Turk still further , gave a proportionate room to the Servians to indulge their nomade propensities . The same rich soil was held by the Daco-Roman , but neither he nor his Servian neighbour knew how to use this blessing of nature until the German colonists came , and the abundant crops which repaid bis energetic toil taught these ruder occupants to enrich themselves by imitation . But' the warlike Magyar asserted meanwhile his dominion over all
alike ; and , finally , the union of tbis country , with Hungary under Joseph If ., established the undisputed supremacy of the Mazyars . The dignity of woiwode was abolished after George Brenkowich had fallen prisoner into the hands of the Hungarians . Tbe Servians ceased to hare their affairs managed by functionaries of their own race . But whatever may hava been their retrenchment which took place in their liberties during the period of the Magyar rule , there is no doubt that the recent Hungarian revolution would have given the Servians all they could rationally desire ; although Kossuth did not lend a very favourable ear to their claims for an independent nationality . In fact , Kossuth was too good a states .
man not to see tbe impracticability of such a scheme , and too uprig ht a man to promise what would turn out a mere illusion . He said that he knew of no Servian territory in Hungary—that he only knew of a population speaking the Servian language mixed up with other races , Wallacks , Germans , Sclavonians , Magyars , who , by the concession of a Servian territory , must be subjected to the same grievance of which the Servians themselves complained ; and that the system of granting separate nationalities would completely cut up and destroy tbe Hungarian monarchy . _ The present policy of Austria having precisely this end in view , no one can doubt that the present boon to the Servian nationality is an effective step in the promotion of that policy . *
Numerous detachments of Honveds continue to be escorted over the Styrian frontier of Hungary , southwards to Italy . As Klagenfurt lies in their way and Gorgey is supposed to be no great favourite with the Hungarian soldiers , since the results of the surrender at Vilagos becirae apparent , fresh rumours of plots for the purpose ot abridging that ira tor ' s existence have latterly been spread , ami whenever a company of llonved officers pass through the place , extraordinary precautions , it appears , are taken by the authorities to secure Iris person against all attack .
TURKEY AND RUSSIA . The ' National Zeitung . ' publishes the followins translation of the speech which M . Kossuth is said to have addressed to the Hungarian refugees on the occasion of their departure from Widdin . Anything respecting Kossuth in tha Austrian papers must be received with doubt : — ' Gentlemen , —I am happy to be the bearer of the greetings and blessings of the good and glorious Sultan . ( Cheers . ) A messenger from ihe great Monarch arrived here yesterday , bringing the joyful news that the Sultan has resolved not to listen to Austria and Russia ' s demands for
our surrender . ( Groans . ) No , the Sultan has sworn by the Prophet th ? t he will protect us at any hazard , even at the risk of tha overthrow ot his empire ( Cheers . ) Gentlemen , it is now certain that we are to leave Widdin . The war for which we yearnthat war whiih alone can liberate our poor country —the war which hitherto was doubtful—it is now certain . The question of that war , of its outbreak , I say , is now but a question of time , and its commencement will be determined by Fund Fffendi , —for such is the object ol his mUsion to St . Petersburg . My brethren ! the sun has not yet set ! ( here are still seme rays of light I a nobler part remains still for us . Tho Hungarian emigration is of liig ' i
importance in the politics of Europe . To deserve that importance is our task—which , though diflLmlt , is most glorious ! But do not fear , my brethren , that we stand alone—as we did ; that we are disowned , as we were . ' No , indeed . We are held up by Turkey , by England , and by Franc . Public opinion in England , in the Parliament and without , has , indeed , for a moment become doubtful of us . But why ? Because some of us have adopted the Mahometan faith . But what these men did , finds some excuse in the prevailing desire to make proselytes ; and , In s ' ubs . whatever they did they did as men , not as Hungarians . As men they will have to bear the consequences , and not only they but also certain people
in th-s city ot Widdin who urged them to this step . But that is all . A letter which I wrote to the noble Lord Patmerston , and the unremitting labours of an English fikr . d ( Mrs . Thomson ) have served to place the question in its true light , and the organs of tbe British press , of all parties , raised their vuice in our favour . Gentlemen , I am enabled to assure you that England and France are for us , and that they have declared that , allied with the Most High Porte , they will fight for the liberty and independence of cur countrv . In consequence of these important events the Mast High Porte has resolved to send the Hungarian emigrants from Widdin to Shumla . Shumla is , according to ray opinion , if not the best ,
at least the most advantageous place for the Hungarian emigration , for in the case of a war against Russia and Austria , we shall be enabled to proceed to and cross the Danube at Rustshuk , and to reach our country , where hundreds of thousands of kind hearts and stout arras wait- for us to rid the earth from the wretched remains of a bloodthirsty dynasty , which exhibits the just curse of an angry God by those atrocious deeds which in its frensied blindness It \ wpwraies against a poor and helpless people . But if Shumla were threatened—though , indeed , there is not much fear of that—there are fourteen British vessels in the Dardanelles , prepared to take us to England , where we are sure of a kind treatment , for Great Britain—to speak with Lord Palmerston , has not indeed orders and ribands for a murderer like Havuau ; but that noble country can
admire and respect the remains of a gallant nation which prevailed against and shook to its foundation the firm and towering stronghold of tyranny . ( Cheers and shouts of the Turks . ' Bin jasha Kossuth ! ' ' Bin jashaDemuiuski V or May Kossuth live a thousand years 1 ' & e . ) When silence was restored M . Kossuth proceeded : I have but a few words to add . To prevent disorders the Most High Porte wishes the emigrants to form a corps under my leadership . ( Loud cheers . ) If it is your will , gentlemen , I consent . ( Cheers . ) But I wish for harmony and order , for without these our corps cannot exist , That corps is to be a military institution , which I will do my best to improve . To prevent the possibility of any violence on the part of the Russians , we are to j . iurney by land . To defray the expenses of that journey , the High Porte has sent me 2-11 , 000 pisstres , as a Bairam ' s present for the emigrants . '
The « Times' states that : —A lone letter has been received from a certain high personage inConstantinople respecting the quarrel between 'Turkey and Russia . The letter , though not of recent dote ( the 28 : h ulf .. ) gives some int . resting details respecting that affair . It states the intention , of the Czar to demand the expulsion from the Turkish territory of not only the Hungarian refugees , but of others who have been for somp time under the protection of the various foreign Legations at the Porle . Amunit them one person in particular is named , who was the agent of a distinguished and well known Polish

RENEWAL OF THE WAR IN AFRICA . The' Moniteur A ' gerien' of the 15 th ult . contains 1 A cou rier from Zaaicha arrived at Algiers by land o „ the evening of the 13 th . The passage by Bathna and Setif is very long ( 150 leagues , ) especially with the precautions which have to be taken between { taken and Bathna ; we have--conr aqnenUy only news to the 2 nd . At that date General Herbillon was not informed of the approach of all the rem-/ brceraents which had hern directed towards Ziatcha He on ' y expected Colonel Canrobert , and c ontinued the siege works , whilst energetically repulsing attacks from the outsideuW « . h . « . to .
_ dav details of two affairs on'the 30 tn and 31 st of October . The first dav the cavalry , who operated in the interval between the oasis of Tolga and that of Furfur , was attacked by a much superior cavalry force , and numerous infantry soldiers showed themselves around the oases . General Herbillon immediatelv caused the cavalry to act , and the plain between ' the two oases was rapidly cleared by vigoroua chaws of the 3 rd Chasseurs and 3 rd Spabis . Their , retreat having been followed , a second charge , as vigowtus as the first , caused the most audacious assailants to bite the dust . Nig ht arrived , and two companies of infantry sufficed to keep the enemy in respect . The charges only cost us three killed and
three wounded . In the same day , at the trcnc , i , and in cutting down the palm trees , we had-nine wounded , two of whom were officers . On the olst of October , the General having returned to the same ground with his cavalry , supported by mountain mortars and three companies of infantry , to reconnoitre tbe enemy , the combat was commenced . A mass of cavalrv and infantry quitted all the oases . The 200 chasseurs and spahis of the column made brilliant charges , got amongst the enemy , and overthrew a great many of the chiefs- The artillery caused numerous looses to the enemy .. The enemy had more than fifty killed and a considerable number wounded , against three killed and seventeen
wounded of our troops . After these affairs a conference took place between the Scheick El Arab and one of the chiefs of the revolted wandering tribes who had cambatted . An understanding could not be arrived at . The arrival of the expected reinforcements might , however , make these tribes , so little accustomed to such sanguinary enraba s , display more conciliatory dispositions . All the reinforcements were not likely to be collected . before the 12 th or 13 th ¦ ult .. so that we shall probably not have important news before the 25 th uh . by land , and the 27 th ult . by sea . Since the , receipt of the last despatches the situation has improved by the vohintarv withdrawal of the force collected by the M «
rabout Si Ahdel Afidh in the Auress . Wc , however , attach little importance to this withdrawal , which is probably temporary ; then ; must be serious combats to put an en-1 to the disturbances which agitate the subdivision of Bathna .

' At both the meetings of the association ( on the
22 nd and the 25 th ) it was unanimously resolved ' { That the pledge not lo hold intercourse with the Neptune or furnish supplies to the naval station or government so long as the vessel remained at the Cape , should be strict ' y enforced , with the following exceptions , recapitulated by Mr . Fairbairn on the 22 : id : * There is an express resolution declaring that clergymen , judges , medical men , gaolers , and executioners , may perform their funcivms upon the convicts without coming « ithin the pledge . '
At the meeting on the 22 nd the following statements were made : — ' Mr , Waterraeyer stated tnat he bad learned that yesterday afternoon a requisition had been sent to the navy contractor at Simon ' s Town for 750 ! bs . of meat : and the answer given was , that he could not get meat himself from Cape Town . — Capt .

The governor is stated to have observed to the gentleman , who waited upon him : ' You will have a very had dinner if 1 go without , I tell you candidly .

hnildine will be constructed to contain 40 or 50 famile . ^ ^ a lavatory , an establishment of baths . and an aSum hall to receive tbe children daring the necei-< m absences of their mothers , at their avocations . The furnished rooms will be let at 6 , 8 , and HMi . a month to the workmen and workwomen who may not have the means of purchasing furniture . Of this payment a portion will be approbated to the rent of ' the apartment and a portion to payment for the furniture , which will , however , belong to the occupant after a certain amount has been paid up . There will be a" great hall in each building , which will he used as a general warming place . It will ~ r , ^ . ? , „™ ™; il h * constructed to contain 40 or OU
also lie used as a place for holdings meetings in the district in which it is situated , if it be lured for that purpose . Ia connexion with these edifices , it is also intended to establish registries of servants and work-people , so tiiat those who want labourers may find there , and those who desire to be hired may inscribe their name ? . Already one _ of those lodging houses ¦ is in course of _ construction in the seccond arrondissement , and its exterior , though without luxury , is not wanting in a certain degree
of elegance . It will be seen from this account that the lodging house scheme of Paris surpasses in many particulars anything of the kind which has been proposed in England . The arrangements for work-rooms , and for " the care of young children ; the plan of providing ihxcnt and suitable furniture , which each occupant may purchase by small weekly instalments ; the arrangements of a hall , or meeting room , whereby coals and candles ate saved to the tenant ; and the proposed registration ol working m < n and servants ; all these areelemeivs which have never entered iuto
tje plans of those who have started the lodginghouses of our metropolis . and manufacturing towns . It may at first be thought that such arrangements would rather apply to ahi'lier class of working people than those whose reception is contemplated in our model lodg ing-houses . But the proposed rents of the apartments would appear to . negative this supposition . Sis , eight , and ten franca a month is surely . low enough for the accommodation proposed to he provided , and scarcely too high for any workman in tolerable constant employment .
The greatest difference , however , in the Paris project , from that which is in operation upon this sid * the Channel , consists in the mode of its organisation . In Paris the scheme is entered upon as a speculative investment ; in England , what we are doing is being done mainly by the donations of the charitable . The difference in the titles of the institutions indicptcs very forcibly the difference in-the design . The " model Irtdging-housj" certainly sounds very bumhie by the side of "la CiteOuvri ' ere . " The French , in truth , have gone a step beyond us , even as regard s the principle of tbe plan which we projected . Tne " modellodging-bouse" of England was designed
to be what its name sufficiently imports—a " model " to future builders of dwellings for the poor . It was designed to show those who constructed houses for the labouring men that it was quite possible to supply them with dwellings of a superior character and accommodation at rents not higher than they at present pay for unwholesome rooms , and v ; i . h returns quite a great in proportion to the capital invested . It was said , and we believe with justice , th ; u no man was lodged more expensively than ihe poor man . Measuring the accommodation afforded by cubic feet it > ras found that the . inhabitant of the Rookery paid a far higher proportion to price for
his miserable room in St ; Giles , than the peer paid fur his magnificent pahee in B 'Igravia , It was determined to show that the poor could be lodged not merely at a cheaper rate , but in a better way , for the money which they paid . But it was not , we bslieve , contemplated to do more than demonstrate this position . The task of working it out might , it was thought , be left to the natural public eompetiti n . Our French neighbours , however , underMandiu ^ that , in point of fact , these model lodging-houses are successful pecuniary speculations , form a c company to carry the u info operation on an ex'remcly extensive scale . We believe the circumstances of Paris fid ' y \ Mir , \ nt this . We have not at hand tbe house
statistics of that gr-nt city , but we know that there are doiniciktl in it no less than 75 , 000 workmen and ( 10 , 000 workwomen , besides 30 , 000 working people who reside without its walls . Adding to these 100 , 000 lor their children , and 5 , 000 for the undated population , we have a total of nearl y 270 , 000 souls who must be classed as tbe poor of the metropolis of France . It cannot hot he that , out of sur . li a population as this , wellsituatedlodgindhouse ? , arranged as' La Presse' proposes , rauit finrr tenants . Probably , however , it will be found invars , as it has lo some extent been found in London , that the immediate cffi . 'et of theercction of these bulging houses is to raise tbe standard of accommodation in their immediate vicinity . It is a natural consequence of offering a better article for the same price
, that those who have been selling inferior qualities should raise tbe standard of their commodities . We amid point to one or two instances in which the hidging-hoiise keepers in the neighbourhood of new model lodging-houses have improved upon the accommodation they provided very soon a ,- ter the model lodijing-houses- were open ' sd . And in this , we think , the great advantage of model lodg ing bouses 'n this country at least , will consist ; To provide lodgings for all the watk ' mg people of a metropolis would be impossible , hut by placing a lodging-house on the new principle in anv quarter in which it may be possible and advantageous so to do , an example will be set and an improved standard created , which , in the course of time , tenants will insist upon their landlords looking to .
We may , therefore , take this opportunity oi expressing our gratification at hearing that ' in such parishes as Paddingt ™ and L < t : tibeth model lodginghouses are to be erected mainly from the resources Of the localities , and under the superintendence of gentlemen who take active parts in the charitable concerns of their respestive districts . We are persuaded that tbe Bhhop oi London cottid not have done a wiser nor a better thing than to have sug . gested the appropriation of the thank-offerings of last Thursday fortni ght to this purpose , in cases where suoh offsrings were not otherwise required , To raise the standard of the poor man ' s feelings , the very first thing to be accomplished is to provide him with better h
a abitation . You may elevat ? his tastes by providing him with means of instruction and amusement out of doors ; but no perman ent good effect can be expected to be produced if you send him back from out-door imnrovemont toadtrty and miserable home . The public t ) lU ) is ami wunouaes . by removing one great source of discomfort to the working man , are doubtless do . V infinite service . But we may carry measures of amelioration still further ; a „ d one of the first means of practical improvement that prrsr-nts itself is certainly to baiter the condition of tha ' labourer m the a inde , n which he seeks repose after his long day ' s toil is done . —Express . h
