Lord John ltumell endeavoured to commit us to meet inadequate and vague condition. at Vienna ; and Mr. Gladstone would fain have turned out the government for retuning to secede to them.

After the treaty was definitively signed, a most subtle and pertinacious effort waa made by Realist to evade a very material condition ngreol upon at the CellieletiCß, and to wrest from the alike half the advantage they had gained. One atilt chief concerrions made by Roads wee that she alsould give up such • alive of Ilesearnbia so would effectually remove her teem the Danube and deprive • her of any shadow of a pretext for thenceforth interfering • with its navigation.

She more than half succeeded in t persuading Franco to waive opponition to this unrighteous . claim ; and but for Lord Palma-noon's and Lord Clanndon's I stubborn renistance, she would have carried her point. But they were resolute in refusing to allow the final l'..rifeivnee to • meet at PariA till the Emperor had been brought retold to wiser rounneln, and till numb, had withdrawn from the cams test. Then the Cougnms assembkd, but merely to formalise • and publish the conclusive terms which had been previously . nettled.

Lord Penman and Lord Palmerston are for an extravagant expendi ture end a large standing force. The liberals mod& with every petty principality m Europa, and would scatter their image through all lands at the pant of the bayonet. Mahomet himself was not a more derided votary of armed proselytism than Lord Paimeraton. Nor, indeed, is this the only point of resemblance. But the tones say that, ea Eng . _ . . - - Lad LAS resalhed Ler moat fortunate constitution through tiesdess front interference, we ought to allow foreign nations the same chance; and that mutant intervention between kings and sublects, be they 'tying or be they week, is in reality as debasing towards them ss It is dangerous and ins jurivaut to ourselves. In two weeds, the restless, disestielied spirit of liberulism as naturally vents itself is war so the con servative and insular spirit of toryissn clings to the policy of . . . To proceed with our enumeration. Tho trail* reduce tax ation and keep frith with the people. The hberals maintain taxation and break it. The only civil-mm*lm reformer of the day with a posaibility of success la Lord Stanley. The only law reformers who are not laughed at are Lord St. Leonardo and Sir Fitzroy Kelly. The only educational refonaer who is not an improctioable enthusiast, or a convicted blunderer, is Sir John Fekington. The only measure of demotic legis lotion, in which the liberals have not whinny broken down, is the Convict Bill of Sir Grange Orey ; and that wan only red.:mod from destruction became it to mine extent adopted the principle which a tory newspaper hoe been foremuet in promoting, . Now, then, will the practical man tell UA Why it is that Its cries out for anything rather than a tory government P If we prom him with facts, he is dumb ; and theories cannot stand without feet.. We know very welt there is a certain clam in the country who have a very fair ground of diaerence with the bmies. But the loudness of the etimuur against them seems always in proportion to the unrclutorinUeinws of the clamourer. The rndicdu who honestly desire change, which the tones would mist, aro comparatively quiet. The middle class liberal (!) who is opposed to such changes ae thaw, but honestly desires others which the tidies would iiccouiplisli, is vigorous in abuse of them. Ito hsa been so lung meitstonusl to abuse them, that with true British doggedness ho would rather cut his throat than rt litomish the practice. Ile to, without knowing it, aa bigoted story as Eldon or Wetherell. _ _ . Yes. With the roiliest* the tories have a fair fight to sustain. They will uphold the existing fnunework of ooviety by the preservation of primogeniture, and the pro toetion of flint love of family which is deeply implanted im Englishmen. They will maintain the integrity of the upper house of parliament, and the independence of the tuitional church. They are eminently protestant, earl have as their leader a statesman who, having sacrificed power to the procreation of protestantisin in Ireland, is not likely to misuse pars for the injury of protestanthim in England. ilut faith must be kept where pledged, at whatever incon venieto v. And the tory party will lose nothing by the acirsoion of men who adeucate a retrograde policy, and a deliberate breath el obligations. d VOICE FROM GLASGOIr (Fnm the North Britith Daily Mail.) The Liberal Association of the City of London have rejected Lord John Rowell es one of their candidates at the epproaching general election, and have named a Mr. Crawfurd as the men whom they delight to honour. The vote of Leah John on the Chinese question wag'. more in the estimation of thew gentlemen than all the past eervieee and future hopes which encircle the name of the leader of the pr igreerive party in this country. Lord John Respell has fallen so often in the good penal of the Cockneys only to rise more famous and powerful than over, that it would be very foolish to suppers] that this act of the Liberal Awaiviii tion ran either dim or impede the career of the remarkable man who has done mere for reform and for religious and com mercial freedom than any other living statesman, and who even now stands in advance of the official head, of the liberal party in parliament on all the great social and polities! question. of the time. Stranger things have occurred than that the rejected of London should by-and-by be the accepted of the Queen and the country. We have no hesitation, indeed, in saying that Lord John is still "the coating man" of the liberal party. A few years may make greet changes in the etre raerris perroxa of politics. But taking the tableau of statesmen ae it stands, there is not one el the "outs" on whew return to popularity end power we would calculate more confidently than Lord John Rural. The schism between Lord John and Lord Pelmentoa • few years ago was much to be re gretted an both sides, Demure each but a strength they am liner command separately, of which the defeat of the Remelt 'ministry on the militia question in 11312, and the defeat of the Palmerston ministry on the Chian.* question in 1857, ere only too obvious proof.. But Russell has struck his root. wore deeply into the soil of British freedom than l'elnienoton. We take not, that even at this present date Lord John represents greater raiment of opinion than eye justly popular Pnnie bliniater. lie is more thoreughly and generally . in accord with the desires of ref am and pnigraitove ktiolation which are rising strongly and freshly in the kingdom than any other liberal chief.

(From the Suminy The wisdom of the man who sawed off the branch of a tree on whii h he wit, boa only been equalled by the obtuseness of the four or five renters who de clined giving their formal Lunation to certain temporary alterations in the theatre, necessary for adapting the audience portion of the house to the requirements of on Italian Opera Ileuse. It woo generally known that Mr. (aye had been in treaty with Mr. Smith, the lessee of Drury-Luse, to become the tenant of that theatre for a few months daring the Italian opera issuon, and the matter had been so far concluded, that Mr. Smith had decided upon terminating his dramatic performances at Easter, and had actually mode arrangements for that purpose. The consent of the renters and their Domino., became, however, necessary, to enable Mr. Gyro to convert the drest circle and the first civic into private boxes; but in lieu of the portion of the house thus occupied, be offered to the realm to reserve for them nightly twenty-tire plates in the front of the pit, and to throw the upper boxes and the rest of the pit open to the remainder of the renters. To this proposition, twenty-seven of the thirty-two renters who attended the first meeting agreed, and signed their names to an agreement to that effect, but it having been discovered subsequently, that ammo of the renters who had signed hail wild their adedieions fur the present year, it was de mod adelsoLle to call another meeting of nominee, as well so renters and ',repenters ,f the theatre, to whom ' the proposition was to be again submitted. The electing took place accordingly on Friday last, iu the saloon of the theatre, and wan al tended by shout fifty persons interested. James Robins, Esq., one of the trustees, was called to the chair, and having stated to the gentlemen present the facts just detailed, he hoped they would be UIVUIiMOIII,I in accept ing a proposition which had emanated from Mr. Smith, the respected lessee of the theatre, whose absence ho tom to re gretted. Mr. Smith, he said, had notterially enhanced the value of the property since his lessee ship, and had alone more for the sarronouudation of the renters than any lc wee who tenderer had it. Mr. Pyetinch proposed a resolution that Mr. Gyo should be naked to reserve fifty, instead of twenty five seats in front of the pit, with free admiasion to the other portions of the pit and the upper bozos, for tho renters. After some dissuasion, it was speed that it should not be put as a resolution. but merely m a suggestion of Mr. (Syn. upon which understanding tho original proposition wall agreed to, and renters who represented about seventy sharer affixed their names to the document, which may, therefore. be said to be unanimously agreed to. It in, however, to bed,. plered that two or three of the renters should, at the that meet inghave offooda factiotuoppositionto n proposition so favour. able: to the:melees and so beneficial to the leaser, who haa laboured earnestly to keep the theatre open, and who has paid more money into the coffers of the proprietor. than any one who has been placed at the head of this catenate, establish ment for years past. To throw obstacles in the way of his letting the theatre ton good tenant, is to deprive him of legitimate means ::f paying his heavy rent, of compelling hint to claw the theatre, and, consequently, of injuring their own property. It is lamentable that two or three individuals, without any reasonable motive, should, fur fsetious or other motive:, have the power of breaking up en anangemcnt so advantageous to all concerned. A circular (says the Literary Gazette) has been issued by the solicitors to the assignees of 3lr. Edwin Baldwin, announcing that tho copyrights of the Morning Herald, Standen!, and St. James's Chronicle' newspapers are for sale, and that they are ready to receive tenders for their purchase, either together or separately. The latest fashion of expending the lower portion of the female dress with a Port of wire ben-coop, and thug making their figures (like Greek epigrama) ae broad ea they are long, has undoubtedly aided towards the reformation in female attire which we (Lewd) yet hope to see efitated. The natural waist appears, by eontntat, sufficiently taper without further crushing by that female vice, yciept days. It is no longer needful that they should study (as Terence says of the Roman women) " Daniels bumerlsors:sis•to portnro. at rriellos deal" It is only when the natural "line of beauty" of the female is prceerved that health can be expected. It is only from a healthy mother that healthy effepring can arise. We there fore willingly acknowledge whatever tends to the attainment of this desirable object, though condemning an injurious to both health and comfort the extremes of a fashion which has been hailed with cheers by the milliners—cheers of hoop I hoop 1! hoop ! ! ! orroy.

M.P., at Canwick, near Lincoln, laid bare two perfect skele tons, buried some eighteen inches below the surface. Both, on examination, proved to be the remains of feraslcs; one woo an adult, the other a child apparently about three years old at the time of burial. The larger skeleton was found lying in such a position u to show that the body bad beet doubled up when consigned to the earth, the skull and the feet being in close proximity. At the mane place a rum blade and a short dagger were dug out, both very much car. rode& These circumstances induce the supposition that at some time or other a terrible deed of blood had been com mitted in the locality; and it is a singular fact that the spot where the discovery was made. and which is exceedingly lonesome, has, for some cause unexplained, been from time immemorial regarded by the inhabitants with feelings akin to terror, and the nightly wayfarer hastened past with dread and misgiving.
