Iu about a month from tho present
date, our legislature will meet lor the
dispatch of business. As tho timo apt
proaches public interest quite naturally
increases, as to the probable position and
tactics of tho respective parties on the
opening of tho first session of the new
House, That the programme to bo submitted to the legislature by tho present
administration will be one essentially
progressive in character, as also that the
labors .of tbo session will be characterised
by measures of practical legislation pro*
motive of tho best interests of tho colony aud il-* people may bo reasonably
anticipated. Such however boing the
prospect presented lrom tho government
Ial point of view, ono in perlcct har-.
raony with the aspirations of popular
opinion, what shall wo nay of the position occupied by tho Thoi-mopalean
phalanx of llre'uow' or soil styied'peoplo's
party/ though' which few aul foaHoss
still.ungratcful country haa consigned to
tho oold shades ol opposition.
Aa tho renowned French monarch in
lho hour ot defoal was heard to exclaim,
* all is lost, bul honor,' so in liKo mannor
from lho seats so hardly on tested, ably
wou and uo less ably filled iu the
legislature, will go forth in strong and
bitter denunciation ol their relentless foes,
tho unfiling ind irro--islablo eloquence of
those incorruptible champions of the
'pooploV rights ind liberties. Liko thoir
worthy proiotyoosot ToolySt,iho present
pr.noipal lilHculty of this representative
ocrpo**atio*l of tho 'pjoplo of .Newfound-*
land,' is said to be in tho choice of a
loador, each individual number considering that in him alono is 'providentialy'
vested that prerogative. At a recent
meeting of this important bod;
wo havo' howovor beo$i informed, tha..
matter- appeared lo iudicato a satisfactory solution of tho difficulty, the mav
'jority of those present, offering with
heroic maginnimity to sacrifice their individual claims in favor of Bay do Vcrds.
Bu this as it may the upon.ng oftho
session will doubtless soon solve all dif«
ticuliv ou tho subject.

removed lho men, and at gio.it personal
risk, having lo stand and dare a largo

the mo.i safely oi their way home. If

European Ev.nts.
The sacrilegious burglary of St Denis is
supposed to have beeu committed by a band
of Bohemiaui called Ramonitschclls/ who
have been stroliin.- .n the neighborhood
for some tim« past, and who disappeared I
immediately aftor the event. A lantern,
made in Germany, and of the form used by ,
the Ramoniltchell*, was found in the basi*
hon, and it is uu* certified tbat the pros*
enoe of these strolluig Bohemians ha, beeu
co-mcideut with Uie numerous church
robberies whieh have been committ -d ol
late tmoughout jhe provinces. Thero arc
not 'wanting ih.>4e   wno  assert  that tiu
heathenish Municipal Council of St Denis
has been cognisant of the sacrilegious
coup dc main. The same Council has fre»
quently threatened to suppress all tho
| neys paid by them from time immemorial
towards the fabric ofa building which is
the chief oWbhment of the ugliest suburb
of Paris. It ia known that as etch Canon's
stall becomes vacant it will not again be
tilled up. But even-this prospect is not
onough for the spoilers. However, the
eacred cathedral in honor of the Martyr of
Paris outlived the great revolution, and
it is not likely that tno anarchists ot today will be more successful ihan the Ileber-
tUts and other enemies of God*s Church ir
Franco who have pissed away. Tuo cai
theditvl of.*St Denis has always been devoted
loan honorable retreat for high ecclesiastics and French Bishops whose health has
obliged them to resign tlieir sees.
The Repv.bliq.ue Francois dovotes four
columns to an article on an article of Mr
Gladstone's, entitled, • Aggression against
Egypt and Liberty in the East,' which appeared iti the Nineteenth Century of August, ltYtfr, and another article by Mr Dicey,
advocating an opposite policy, namely, the
seizure of Egy it by England in order to
protect her rood t > Iinia. This paper of
air Gladstone's has been translated in *x*
tenio by the Revut Politique et Litterairc,
a small raouthly periodical whichhas grown
bigger—in impoitanco-siuce it has passed
into Uie ban is of tho Freemasons, and been
in an oooult manner amalgamated with the
political propa; nda of which Mine. Adam
i* ths iuspiring muso. The Republigue
Franeaite makes fair capital out of the
Prime ninister's eloquent denunciation of
the policy whicb,aocor ling to AI Gombetia's
organ, and indeed the press of Paris g-nis
Otmll , heij now practically adopting The
AiepnbtiqKc jTntiTcaise declares that if England is null enough to listen to the greedof
territorial aggrandisement whieh poss-sses
her at this moment, intoxi-*utod us i-li~ *'*
by 'Mte-quart'er-of-an-diour victory,'
wiirrnnrthe causo of Liberalism in tu-
ture, and in tho event of her sullering a
disaster, the react.on against Libera ism
will bo strengthened all ovor the world.'
■Since the vict .ry of PeNel-Kobir, Mr Gladstone, thbsame wr ter considers, 'lias withdrawn behind Lord Granville and his agents,
^o that the old Whig party is cxhibitiug
itself complacently as in the days of fnlm-
•rsiou.' this shirking of the responsibility,
which he alono ougnt to bear, will no-
clear Mr Gladstone in tho *-*yHS of biBtory,
1 It is he who wi 1 bo called to account by
the next'generation, when tho eroction o.
a great African Empiro will have burdened
the island protected by its Bilver girdle
wilh the incubus of uu enforced Eorvioo of
which no one better than ourselves knows
the heavy weight. And as to Fiance,
up to the pre-em of udmiration for tho
valiant reformer, si.e wilt end by. not uf Si
tiuguishiug botw-en him and Lord Gratia
ville, tne Ministor of Foreign Affairs iu
1670, and 'nations h-ive a goo.l memory."
The Temps, hitherto mod-rate and conciliatory   in its    tone  towards  England ia
now b tterly hostile.    In au  article Dec.
4th,  on the Kgypt.an  question, it in.onus
its readers that 'the intriguo which Eng-.
laud has planned nt Cairo, iu order to
tract  from tho Khedive  the cession ofa
port in favor of -vbvs-ini.i, is only ono item
in a wide combination  conceived by Lord
Beuconstield, and adoptel oy bis succt
in Order to secure  British supremacy,
only.in the Arabic  gulf, but also ou the
African coasts ot the Indian Ocean.'
Whatever tup motive atoy be, if indeed
there be auv- beyond the momentary gra-
tilication ofthe old spirit of rancorous
jealousy, the tone ~ of the press and pnbuc
Opinion generally towards Englaud bus become unmi-tuk.ib'y od'oasive and provoca-.
tive. TheMaiag iscar q testion is discussed
in a spiiit of insolent detianco which, taken
as the true expresriou of feeling in either
the Government or tho nation, would load
one to supposo that a war with England
is imminent and desirable.
M Duolerc, in a Cabinot Council, Dec.
3th, spoke with unusual upirit of the do
termination of tbo Government to uphol i
the. prestige of Franco, and let Europe soo
thather position wasa strong ono; The question of Madagascar was discussed with
vehemence and acrimony by the Ministers,
and it was resolved to despatch an ironclad to the coast as an answer te the des*
patch of the Seagull by the English Ad*
miralty.
The clause in tho Quoen's spoech in
which Frauco was so cordially mentioned,
has not, so far, tended to -o.ten the in ita*
tion - ngaiust England, which has been in-
created by the udusiou to 'the approval of
the-Powers,' this -entence is intorpieted
as' a threat, and tho offer by tbe English
Government of tho Presideucy oi the Pub«
