CURIOUS COINCIDENCES

la " The Century " for February there Is an Article on " Astrology, Divination, and Coincidences," In which some very curious Instances are given, especially of the latter. The writer, ofter detailing several, says : — " I will present one more, which I think will justify the assertion that no coincidence more wonderful has ever occurred. The article was found by me In an Italian paper whila Louis Napo leon was m prison at Wllheluasbohe, If It has ever appeared m Engllah it has escaped my notice " : — The Letter "M" andihb Nafoleoks. Marfcceaf was the first to recognise the genius of Napoleon at the Eoole MUltalre, Marengo was the greatest battle gained by Bonaparte, and Melas operjed to him the way into Italy. Mortler was one of his fiiit gonerala, Moreau betrayed him, and Murat was the first martyr m hia cause. Marie Louise partook of hiß highest destinies, Moscow was the abyss m which j he was engolfet', Metternlch conquered him on the fild of diplomacy. Six marshels (Massena, Mortier, Marmont. Msodonald, Murat, MoDcey) and twenty- j six of bis generals of division had names beginning with the letter M. Murat, Duke of Ba'ssanu, was the counsellor m whom he placed the greatest confidence ; hlo first ' great battle w»s thst of Monterotle, his last that of Mont St Jean. He gained the battles of Moscow, Montmirail, and Monterean Ihon came the a6Bault of Montmartre Milan waa the first enemy's capital and Moscow the hat iv which he entered.

Fi is first chamberlain was Montesquieu ; his last Hojnnn Mai xnaison. He g<>ve himself up to Captain Maitland He had for his companion at St htelena Monthalon, and for his valet Marobnnd . If we examine the history of hia nephew Napoleon IK-, we find tlio same letter -has no leas influence, and wo are assured that the captive of Wilhelimhohe attacht-s still more importance to its mysterious in fluence than did bis uncle. The Kmprefls — his wife — is a Countess Montijo ; hia greatest friend was Mori^y ; the taking of the MalakofE and ot the Maine louve-t the principal exploits of the Crimean war — exploits chiefl-y due 10 the French.

THE EDUCATIONAL FRAN CHISE.

♦ The action of the Legislative Council m, for the fifth time, throwing oat the Educational Franchise Bill 13 utterly indefensible, and may indeed be fairly described as incomprehensible. The fact that it has been passed by the House of Representatives, every time it haß come before them, by pronounced majorities, clearly shows that the reforms proposed are demanded by the people, and the Council, m refusing so persis tently to yield to that demand is exceed ing its proper functions, which are merely those of insisting that surprise legislation shall not be carried out, but that the people shall have ample t^e to express their opinion. This v uaY j jo.n o. been done m unmistakeablo ♦ erms j}^ Council, as a nominated K ody h{^ no just right to set its opi^,,, m o^ position to the will of the - f)rop]e V^ t b ft majority of thirteen to seven the Lords yesterday throw out a Bill, the principle of which h«>:i been no less than seven times affirmed by the popular branch of the Legislature. If this sort of thing is to be carried on, what is the use of having a representative House at all? Unquestionably the Bill was a desir ftble and necessary one. The ambiguous definition of "householder' m the present Jlducation Act has led and will lead \ o constant misunderstandings and nnmn v, cations. The proposal tor, ~S' nomination from the e)ee»-' TT*\Zo alteration, and has - f n \ ! aS V ™° unanimous appro- , »f * wlt > a f lm .°^ colony, and W' -«1 throughout he single for & ■>? the substitution of the »lly deir' ' c cumulative vote is gener gyst*- .anded, the present cumulative yin ■ m having worked exceedingly baclly .ad being everywhere complained of. It is, however, evident that the prejudice, ignorance, and obstinancy on tho pait of the noble Lords are for the time being invincible, and it has become necessary that the question of the reforms asked for m connection with such elections Bhould be taken up by the Govornment itself Wo arc glad to learn from our Wellington correspondent that this is now recognised, and that should the present Ministry weather the session, they will next session bring down a Bill to amend the Education Act, which will contain the provisions of the Bill which has just been rejected by tbo Upper House.
