VAItIB, Tuesday, August 3d, 1869.—The' document which was read to the Senate yes - terday, and of which the text will, have long since reached you, is of too much importance both to France , and the rest 'of. the world to be over-hastily weighed or appreciated We 'must walt,moreover,to bear the disensfaon and the'tone of the ministerial speeches before ealiiquite-ctitiMate _ atits_trite_.salue_the_ great act which has been just completed, But' if there ISS , any reliance to be placedin words, we must adrift partly and at once that the tin- . portal Government has made a. real step in advance 10Wards a thoroughly liberal and eon-. stitutional regime, and in 'this 'respect shown itself 'incomparably superior to the narrow and obstinate policy of resistance which tipset so fatally the monarchy of 1836. Tree; it will be said that the present Giiivern4 merit has still a Jong•way. to 'go 'before It reaches.,:the 'mint at which - that of Louts AL Philippe and Guizot refused to make fur ther'concessions. , But then it Must be .:re membered ,- that the very point On' which that ,sovereign and his minister: declined to yield to, publip opinion was pre eiselythe iine on Which they were in ar rear and Napoleon 111. and his Minister most in advance.- Although one can. now scarcely, credit the fact,lbe ' constitnenev of 'France, in: 1848, scarcely miceedi one 'hundred...and seventy thousand - Now, it is over six mil lions. There is nothing, therefore, to' be yielded on that'seore, except to leave the con stitueucies alone, by relinquishing the official candidate:shim; and that, in fact, has been vir tually aceotuplisheil by the late - elections, What the Imperial Government was summoned to do, as the point in which it was most in arrest-, with the, times and with public opinion, was to make large concessions in the personal prerogatives of the sovereign ; and that; it, moat hO"in. fairness csivned, it haedone. The point of, eomparison between it and the (for eminent of Louis Philippe were, in ' the latter an extenidon of the rights.of the peopliildhrough the enlargement of the con stittufsw nis : in the former, a diminutio ofthe , non - Mg:the erowit by a curtailment ofthe prerogativei. On the onepointLonisPhilipt (led an 111-editistal and anpractisal,Aboug able, Minister; resisted, and felli ,on the other, Napoleon 11l " has yielded, and thereby (ribrhaps' it is but too much to say) bar, at once saved' himself and his son from falling, and. France and Europe from much convulsion. As I have said,itin tocmarly yet to speak definitively on a. raatter i ,of such vast importance, but tbe above are;the reflec tions which the tint aspect of the new likmatits Conseltuni seems naturally to suggen. , I have little doubt that nearly all parties in the eoun try,except theirreconcilables,"willrally to it; and that the Chamber, when it meets again, will be dividedfirteea small knot of thrzTaliciveJ named', dais on the extreme left; an equally small - knotof"Lrreconcila.bles," is ait-' other sense, on the = extremeright, and a large majoyity of constitutionalists in the centre.

And, in truth, when one considers that the, French people have been busy "making Constitutions" fur thelsat ge:ventY years;tind have,never yet been able to concoct one to their mind, and may he said to be just now beginning afresh again; Ivan a Speck and,lspan new , Pattern— 'when one considers this it must be allowed that the patierite and attention of the rest of the World has been pretty well tried by .French.';political vagaries. Most surprising, , it, is that, this people with all their acknowledged quickness, high intelligence and ability in•all the other,walks of life, should seem so deficient in plain, com mon-place, PraCtical political 801140. , Well, it mayhe said that the French nation has . fni-OnCe =Ora' inagys a fresh start.' 'And I say this because r do not think it can: be de nied that the changes ivhish have noiv heen effected, er, - at any rate; the consequences which must inevitably , spring from them, do, or wi 1, in.fact, amount to a change, not merely in the fbrm; but in the principle of their gov ernment. . The balance of power in the State has either' been shifted, or is about to be so; and when- ever this , is ,done; there - is always a critical time during which we must wait to see how the vessel trims under the new distribution, and whether she drawn ahead again or misses stays. The inevitable tendency of ,:the new measure, backed as it is by a strong popular feeling hi the same direction, is • to throw the preponderating power into the hands of the popular assembly; and as it has, undoubtedly,' hitherto been in those hands of the Execu tive, I fun fully jastified, T' — think, in describing the change to be as great aa I have above stated it to be. ' The ultra4lemocratic jeurnalsilwdeed.‘ cry out that. the ,:'`Yergettar government" still stands upright ; and so probablytheyWOuldconflitheta do as long as ever the Emperor retained, his present title and continued to:inhabit, the Tuileries. But it is impossible not to perceive that a power has been planted by the side of the crown, whose growth will, speedily surpass and overshadow that of the latter. We have only to laok at what. the Corps -14egishitif is, or. is to: be cymet compared'..-with what it A was, to be - convinced of its climages:,, , influence and charaCter, Outside the ' Chamber, it maybe said that ° the system of official candidates and goifenunentpatronage and interference in the, elections have been practically hroken down already, and that a ,inajoritY, opposed to the principles of the existing administration has been returned t hispite of every obstacle. <This Sproved by the_ interpellation, the Message and - the Senatis Consulttun, and the half frightened,ffurried, manner-Tin—which—the _governmenthas tried_to appropriate,midseem to put itself it the head of a movement which itfelt — ihTelf -- totally - anable to repress. ,;The Emperor -- has L -foun d - out - that one - of - the - ads= takes of his, Constitution was to ,suppose that he could continue permanently to manage the elections and pack a Chamber, with a con stituency of six millions, as easily as Louis Philippe did with one of only a • hundred and seventy -thousand. The nation has.-broken through the restraints, imposed upon it, and has at last' returned members to represent itself, and not merely the Administra tion, and, if the process were to, be re- i peated to-marrow the Governinent knoWs very well that it would be only with the -same or a worse 'result. So much fOr deliverance froth external influence. 'Then look at the changes which' are to take place inside,• There the Chamber is absolute master. It has coruPlete- liberty it chooses its own, yresident; it can, make what laws it likes of its Own, or tt!efuse those presented 'by. the Government; it can interrogate the latter as to its acts,and pass a vote of censure or want of confidence; it can enforce that vote, if not attended to, by a` stoppage of any portion of the supplies. Is it possible to deny that a Chamber to which all these prerogatives...have been iceorded by a Government, and that, too, because it dared no longer refuse them, is placed in, a position to do or take whatever else it pleases? True, the Emperor might turn the deputies out of doors at the point of the bayonet_and make another 18th lirunthine. But wherewould he be after wards ? Just where, he was on the Deux De cember,—.lBsl4—only—with—thia-eseentialand- fatal difference, that, whereas, then he had the nation at his back as at least= assenting party to his acts ; now he would have arrayed against hint_both representatives andpeople.

But with himself all hope must be ex tingnithed alike for ;dynasty, family ana tire. , Such is themeal position, so, far as I am able to read it, withrespect both to the ,pre ent and future prospect Of this country.'

ABBATE'S _2 MIRAN PETRIFACTION & -Scientific tOtatualt7-, The - correspondent of the Atlienatim, whose account of the. Neapolitan Professor Abbate's discovery we published upon its appearance, thus renews the subject under date of July 2 9 9: "The Athesccum of the 24th inst. published; some observations-of mine on the discovery by Prof. Abbate of the means of preserving the human body. Since my last communica 7 tion I have received other details, in reply to questions proposed, on this most interesting and important subject, which I send to You, -without hesitation, in a condensedform, Some secret shallot to Dr. Abbate's has k o:kited-for a long time, as all travelers who have •vbf ited Viorence , Probably well. know. In the Cabinet of - Physiological Anatomy in Santa Maria Novella, there are preparations of por tionsof the human body by Dr. Segato., The Grand-Ducal Government refused - to purchase the secret, which died with Segato. His pre parations, I repeat, were only portions of the body, whereas that which is now being ex hibited in Naples, in the cot-convent of !Santa Moria della Iluovi, is the entire body of a youth of seventeen years of age, who died, of lihthis's, 'about the entl of last . January.' For ve months, ' therefore, it° has resisted the- action of a`very variable atmos phere. The features, the integrity of the form, are perfectly preserved, as they were at the moment of death. The nails have a roseate hue: there is no odor of any kind; end the flesh has the hardness almost ,ofmar ble. To:this let it , be added, that the hair ad hems so tenaciously to the head that, it. Is im posaible to remove it, of coarse without vio !once. The operation of embalming or petri fying is effected in a fewhoUrs, without the necessity of removing the dress; indeed, an other, body has been petrified, according to the - Same system, without taking off the dress, and even pre.serving the gloves on. "We know," says a medical gentleman; not an Ital ian to`Whom lam indebted for these details, '‘tliat some'gentlemen in - Naples, after hav ing proved what we have stated, have made an alteration in their wills, imposing it as an obligation on their heirs that they shall' apply the system of Abbate to their bodieS, in the event of their - dying before the Professor. This discovery has, however, a.more practical and more important phase-that is, its nee in preserving meat fresh— Abbate asserts ; he has succeeded completely. There are difficulties -in this'Special, - application - of it which-would not present theinselves in the petrifaction of liftman - bodies, sash as r the danger of intro -Al:icing-substances injurious -to health;or-af fecting the taste, the appearance; or the nutri tive qualities of the meat. All these difficul ties Abbate declares he has, overcome; and it is a known fact that a first-rate house in Italy, whose commercial relations with the Americans are considerable, has already made offers to Abbate on the subject. Should it be proved by , ex - perience to be true that the wholesome food of man- , -which is now thrown away in vast districts, as - utterly' unavailable, or is only melted down for the, sake of the fat —can by simple and inexpensive means be ex ported to Europe fresh and good, an inestima ble boon will have been , conferred on humanity. This our Professor asserts he can do ; and as he has already done so much, surely his system deserves the attentive examination of all scientific men. During his life Abbate has no intention of making known the secret of his discovel7; but he is prepared to visit any part of the world which he may be re quested to visit, and show the results of-his in vention." THE BYRON SCANDAL. The Trine Story of Lord Byron's' Separa tion from His *rife. The 'Tribune keys: We find in a Western newspaper the some time promised account of the true reasons for the separation of Lord Byron from his wife, as prepared in a magazine article by Mrs. Harriet. Beecher Stowe. We extract herewith all thwessential detai s of the absorbing aid yet horrible story. There has been little danger, this many a year, that Lord Byron's literary influence over young men and women Could ever again become what it was at a iime„Mrs. , Stowe describes from memory; there is henceforth none at all: * *' * * r * The'true history of Lord and Lady Byron has long been perfectly understood in many circles in England, but the facts were of a na, biro that could not be made public,; While there was a young daughter living; whose fu ture might be prejudiced by its- recital, - and while there were other peasons on whom the disclosure of the real truth would have been crushing as an avalanche, Lady Byron's only course was the perfect silence in which she took refuge, and those sublime works of charity and mercy to which she consecrated her blighted earthly life. * * * No person in England, we think, would as yet take the responsibility of relating the true history which is to olear Lady Byron's memory, But by a singular concurrence of circumstances, all the facts of the case, in the most undeniable and authentic form, were• at one time placed in the hands'of the writer of this sketch,with authority, to, make such.use of them as she should judge best, Had this melancholy:history been allowed to sleep no public use would have been made of them; but the', appearance of a popular 'attack on the eharacter of Lady Byron calls fop a vindica tion, and the true story of her married life will, therefore, now be related, , - lk Lord, Byron has described' in one of this let. ters the, impression loft upon his mind by at young`person whom he met ,one evening in society, and who attracted his attention bythe f:.~:~.~':ti')': '..~i .;¢'• .. • fr OUR wrioLketitoiririvir simplicity of her dress and - a' Certain deo! singular purity and calmness with which she sergeyed the scene around her. 'On ingeiry hesviut told that this young 'person - was Miss Milbanke an only child and one , pf the largest IhebeSseS'in , Brigbnd: i, -• t : Teypsult of Byron's intimacy with Miss the enkindling of ,hits nobler feektigth-Was an offer, of' marriage; which thoitglizit the time deeply interested' in "him; deelieed with many•expressions of friendship' and inteieSt:- In fact, she, • already. lovedlilin, ,buthatt that doubt of her power to lie , toltim all, that a wife should be which would belikely 49,axise , in a mind 80 sensitivqy constituted and , no-f.iinwcircily.--,They;-hOweveriteonfinue47a ',cortitspcindenee as friends; on ber Part the in terest Continuat increased, on his= the` tan - said rise of eater feelings was choked and.,••••.'overgrown by - the • thorns .of `baser. and 3 unworthy passions., From the, night at.which he might have, ,been happy as the husband of a noblewoinan,.he fellinto the depths of asecret , adulterous ,ietriglie,with blood relation, so near hi consauguielty that discover - F' must have been^ utter'ruin and ex pulsion from civilized society.- From 'heece forth this damning guilty secret 'became the ruling force in his life; holding 'him with a morbid ,fascination, yet -tilling, , him with, remorse and anguish, and insane dread of, detection. Two, years • after his fusel by - Miss. Millianke, his various friends, seeing that for' some cause he was wretched, pressed marriage upon him. • Mar riage has often been represented 'as the proper goal and terminus'of a wild and dissipated career,^and it has been suppoSed to be, the ap-, pointed mission of good women to receive wandering prodigals with all the rags, and dis graces of their,old life upon them, and put rings on their bands and shoes on'their feet, and introduee them, clothed and in their right minds, to an honorable career in society: Marriage was, therefore, universally recom mended to Lord Byron by, hisnumerous friends and well-wishers; mui so he determined to marry, and in an hour of reckless ,despera,- tion, sat down and wrote proposals to two ladies. One was declined. The other, which Was accepted, was 'to Miss Milbanke. The world knows well that he had the gift of ex pression, and will not be surprised that. • tie wrote a very beautiful letter, and , that the! woman who had already learned to love him fell at once into the snare. Her answer was a frank , outspoken avowal, of her 'love for him, giving herself to , hint heart and hand. The good in Lord Byron was not so utterly obliterated that he could receive , such a letter without emotion,or practicesueh unfairness on a loving, trusting heart without pangs of remorse. He had sent the letter-in mere recklessness; he had not seriously ex pected to be accepted, , and 'the discovery_ of the treasure of affection Which he had secured was like a vision of lost heaven to a soul in hell. But, neverthelesa, in his; letters written about the engagement, there' are , sufficient evidences that his self-love was flattered at the preference ac Corded him by so superior a woman, and one who had been so lunch sought. He mentions with' an air of complacency that she inhas em rloyed the last two years refusing five er six of his acqualstance;tind he had noidea, she loved him, admitting that it was an old attach ment on his part; he dwells on her virtues with a sort of pride of ownership. There's a sort of childish levity about the frankness of these letters,,very eliaracteristic of the man who skimmed over the deepest abysses with the lightest jests. Before the world and to his intimates he was actin,gthe part, of the sue cessfuljianee, conscious' all the while of the deadly BeJarettbAt lay cold at the bottom of his heart. :When - he went to visit Miss. Mil hanke's parents, as her accepted lover, she was struck with his manner and appearance; she saw him moody and gloomy, evidently wrestling - with dark 'and desperate, thoughts, and anything but what a happy . and accepted lovers bouldhe. She sought an interview with him alone, and told him tbat she had observed that he was not happy .in the engage ment, and magnanimously added that, if on review,she found he had been mistaken in the nature of his teelingi, she would immediately release him, and they should remain only friends. Overcome with the conflict of-his feelings, Lord Byron fainted away. Miss Milbanke was convinced that his heart must be-Ideeitly involve& in ,an, allachment with reference to whiCh•-he showed such strength — of - emotion, and she spolve no' more of the dissolution of the engagement. * --But there anc_a_e_an hour of revelation—an . hour when, in a nutM). -- er - which - left - no - kind-of for room — oubt. --Lady-Byron_ satis __the_ 1L depth of the abyss of mfamay which her mar riage was expected to cover, and understood that she was expected to be, the cloak and the accomplice of this infathy. Many women would bave 'been utterly crushed by such a disclosure; some would have - fled from him mediately and exposed and denounced the crime. Lady Byron did neither. When _all, the hope of womanhood died out of - her heart, there arose within her, stronger, purer and brighter, that immortal kind of love such as _Ood feels for the sinner—the love of which Jesus spoke and which holds the one wanderer of more account than the ninety and nine that went not astray. She would neither leave her hus band nor betray hina, nor would she for one -moment justify his sm; and hence r , me two, years of convulsive struggle, in which some times, for a while, the good angel seethed to gain ground, and then the evil one returned with seven-fold vehemence. 1 , Lord Byron argued his case with himself and with her, with all the sopldstries of his powerful mind: He 'repudiated Christianity as asthority, asserted the right of every hu man being to follow out what he called "the impulses of natureV '. Subsequently he intro duced into one of his dramas the reason by which he justified himself in incest. • * * * *. * These two years, in Which Lady Byron was with all her soul struggling to bring her hus band back to his better• selt, were a series of passionate convulsions. During this time, such was the disordered and desperate state of his worldly affairs, that there were. ten executions for debt levied on their family establishment, and it was Lady Byron's fortune each time which settled the account. Toward the last she and her - hus - band - saw - less and lass of each other, and he came more aid more decidedly under evil influences, and seemed, to acquire a sort of hatred of her. Lady Byron once said signifi cantly to a friend who spokc.of some causeless_ dislike in another 7; - "My dear, I have .known people to be hated for , no other reason than because they impersonate& conscience." The biographers of Lord Byron and all his apologists' are ; .careful to narrate how sweet, and amiable, and obliging he was to everybody who approached him; and the saying of Fletcher, his man-servant that "anybody could do' anything with my Lord, except my Lady," has often been quoted. The reason of all this will now be evident. "My Lady" was the only one fully understanding the deep and dreadful:- secrets of his life, who had the courage resolutely and persistently, and inflexibly to plant herself in his way, and insist upon it that, if he went to destruction, it should be in spite of her pest efforts. He had ``tried tried his' strength Witli her fully. The first attempt had been to Make her au tio complice'by sophistry; by deStruying her faith in ehristianity,'and' Confusing her sense, of , I right and wrong to , bring her into the ranks of those convenient wornen who regard. the mar- , rime tie:nnly.ns altrieridly alliance to coyer license. ,oti t ', both, her husband described. to her , tlit) epn.tintnital latitude-the' good-lunnox . ect' martiage, in which coni,, •:':•.,:,:.!;,:: ,(..,; ' ,' , ...i'....''A ,ilY..'. , ' ;..31r-:. 4 ....: '.— 5i.,,,,',.:.‘, plaisant, cou • . mutually agreed to. the Clokk or each iither's itifidelities—und ?gave her to understand :that in this way alone I,slie could have a peaceful . and friendly life iwith him, she, atiawereil him a n d foo truly your friend to do this."

To the Editor of the - Evenmej Bulletin.—rSut: We believe that it is impossible to obtain any reform in the temperance question in Philadel phia, until our present loose, and inefficient License law is taken hold of by the Legisla ture"fl , and radically changed. The easy, mane of obtaining a 'license in this city is' now flood ing every part of- it, with rummeries and beer shops, where the idle and depraved spend their time, not only to their own detriment' and that, of their families, but, , at a later period, to that, of tax,-payers: Let this license question be taken np at once .by our Tempe -, ante leaders; they can spend their energies on' no better or weaker point of this whale con troversy. If an evil cannot be abated .let it be lessened, and, the way to' . lessen -:- this imaterially, in Philadelphia is to , pass a new and stringent License..law, that, will have 'the , effect to put to work ,one-third of those ,now making a living at a' fearffil cost to; the com munity, ami'shut up the' pla,ces that flirnish one-half the ln3iness to our Criminal Courts • • - PRILADELPITIA, August 17, 1869, The Market .sheds., Mr. Editor : Your correspondent "T. F" re commends that the market sheds "which mar the beauty, and width of. Callow-hill street,- Spring Garden street,Girard avenue, Eleventh street and wide portions of,Secenct street. and 3loyamensing avenue," should be removed by the City Councils. - • . In doing so he surely . forgets that these sheds are erected on private property, and that Councils have no more right to remove them than they have to remove Bailey's or Homer, Colladay & Co's. palatial stores on Chestnut street. These ..sheds and even Ahe._. much abused --"Cur L one Market," are a great benefit to the canniunity in bringing the producer and consumer into direct corn mutucation thereby g dispensin with' 'those vampyres, Ate hucksters or iniddlenien, and I can speak from experience as 'to their being a very great convenience.
