Some Engliah journals, we are told, have been eirealating calum nious statements respecting the French Government, serious enough to destroy the confidence between it and the English Government, and thus having a tendency to disunite the two nations. The charge is a heavy one, but it would have carried more weight with it had it been specific. The nature of the &amnia is not stated; and as the offending journal@ are not named we have no clue whereby to die cover wherein they have offended. In the name of the English Press we demand that the accusation be made specific, in order that we and our contemporaries may defend our if innocent, or make amends if we have done wrong. As for anything that may be said by the English Press having a tendency to destroy confidence between the French and English Governments, no one knows better than the Emperor of the FRENCH how utterly unable the English Government are to exercise any influence over the discussions of the English Press, and how entirely irresponsible they are for anything it may say. This alone is sufficient to convince us that advantage has been taken of the Emmaus', abloom at Compiegne, by some of those underlings who have been publishing similar complaints in the mend official journals of Paris, to foist the denun ciation to which we are adverting into the Noniteur. These men are ignorant of how completely the English newspapers are iden tified with the whole English people. They fancy that they are like their own Parisian journals, mere organs of individuals or coteries; and they flatter themselves that the brutum Alums of the Mosileur will frighten the English people into a coercion of their newspapers. The Manson knows well the absurdity of such a notion, and we feel confident that the escapade of the official journal will cause him serious annoyance and bring down a sharp rebuke on its authors. We maintain that, so far from evincing anima city towards the French people or Govern ment, the general tone and tenor of the English Press has displayed a warm friendship foe the former, and great forbearance towards the latter. In se far as we ourselves are concerned, our constant aim has been to direct whatever influence we may be able to exercise over public opinion to the promotion el cordial feelings end extended industrial connexions between the French and English nations. As for what concerns the French Government, we will sot affect to entertain a confidence in it which we do not feel ; but ever since the present dynasty received the sanction of the French people, our comments upon it have been confined within the legitimate limits of a constitutional opposition--such as we might offer to an English admini.t ration to whose political principles we were hostile. Oar relation to the measures of the French Government has undoubtedly been generally antagonistic, but we have been fair and even courteous opponents. We have left to pot-house politicians the vending of iirnoSle personal aspersions. We have seised 11M117 oppotto nit y tI) do jos t ea to such of the Eurnitot's measures as appeared deserving of approbation; we have recognised the loyalty with which he ful filled his engsgetLents to Englsnd during the WIZ. We have laboured, not to overturn the French Government, but to induce it to adopt a policy cal culated to consolichte its own power by promoting the real ioteresto of the great nation whose destinies it has undertaken to guide. Wuo does not know a London child? The "linen cheeks" and feeble limbs of the little creature bear painful witnesa to its home. We speak not, of course, of the children of rich parents, who can afford to carry their families to the seashore, when they may inhale the fresh ses•breeze ; bet we speak of those wretched beings whose nursery is a cellar in St. Glees, and whose playground is a paved courtyard flanked by two stone walls. There are few men who have witnessed the sickly pastimes of these victims of civilisation without a secret yearning to place them in some happier sphere. It is not only that their dreary scene of life shuts them out from the enjoyment of the exhilarating beauties of nature, but that, by the position in which they are placed, their faculties of enjoyment become gradually blinded, and their whole being becomes demoralised. Deprive a plant of light, and it will die: deprive a faculty of the means of enjoyment, and it) will become powerless. It is with the morel as with the physical world. Lst a man deprive himself of the contemplation of 'things excellent—let him accustom himself to that which is depraved—sad in a brief space he will he. come vicious and &peered. The excellent Dr. ARNOLD, writing to some noble lady, declared that any man might make himself an atheist by excluding Goo from his thoughts. Hs was right. For any man to exclude the thought of religion from his mind is wicked enough, but for any man wilfully to place another in inch a position as to render it diffi cult for him to indulge in such contemplation is more wicked still. What shall we sty, then, of those who, having by the necessity of things the care of some 60,000 children cut upon them, so order their affairs that these unfortunate infants are practically exposed toahnost every influence which can serve, not t o develop, bat to seal up and annihilate the seeds of virtue and religion? This is no hypothesis: for, if we may rely on the reports of the Inspectors of Schools, it is the policy and the practice of our own Government. This is, indeed, a crying evil, and one that well deserves our earnest attention. The evil is admitted. It has been proclaimed for plan by the Inspectors, but that judicious person, Mr. HAIM, in too timid to attempt to apply a re medy. We propose, therefore, to consider the remedy' which has been proposed and advocated by the In spectors, and to enforce its general adoption by pointing out the results which have already attended its establ , shment. It is, indeed, simple enough. For the only thing regained is to collect the children from the various workhouses ; to remove them from the habitual vice and contamination which pollutes the inmates of the workhouse, and renders immorality, instead of morality, the key-note of society within the workhouse walls; to set them free from these pollutions, and to collect them togs. ther in District schools, where they may be instructed in their duties, and have their natural good prin ciples developed and strengthened. This plan, we should observe, is no castle in the air. Experience hes sufficiently shown, that whilst the children from the workhouse ochools are generally vicious, the children from the District schools are quite the reverse. Thus Mr. C. TIIPNILL observes that, in one workhouse school, out of 39 boys who had left the school in a period of about four years, 12 had been imprisoned and 7 transported, several were almost permanently on the rates, and only 7 were doing pretty well; and yet the average attendance in that school was only 40. Whilst of the 1,000 children est:illy met with in the Central London District School, Mr. Tuerriu. says :—" I am not oogniaant of more then one having been corn. mitted to prison." It seems to be the same in the country. The Principal of the large District school at Swinton, near Manchester, says that he believes there L no instance of one of those children who has had the advantage of the average time of instruction at Swinton falling back lots pauperism. . . . . Bat, besides the positive benefits which such Dis trict schools confer, there is one muter connected with the subject which to our minds is even touching. It seems that in the Parkhurst Reformatory Prison, about 60 per cent. of the boys are orphans. It also appears that on the let of January, 1864, in the pauper schools, exactly the same proportion as in the Reformatory School., or sixty per orate were orphans. or deported. Now, it is very remarkable that in well conducted pauper establishment', the orphan children are the most hopeful subjects. They are, Mr. TUP says, the mat attentive to their duties, nasally chosen for pupil teachers, from their superior moral and intellectual condition, and in every way the best conducted. It thus appears that the most hopeful thee of paupers—the orphans—furnishes sixty per ant. of the inmates of our prison. Verily the old Roman was right when he wrote: the best man, when corrupted, is the worst. These poor children, abandoned by their parents to the mercy of mankind, may turn out, strange to say, if properly educated, the very best members of society. If neglected, they will, with tolerable certainty, tern loot the worst. It is, then, education, and education I alone, which determines whether theses children shall be a bane or a blessing to society. The same result is proved by the Ragged Schools. Those who have parents are usually the wont. The Rev. Dr. Gum. am, one of the chief managers of those schools in Edinburgh, related to an inspector of schools a re Inarkable instance. lie knew • boy who was a regular attendant at the school only when his mother was in prison. By the good conduct of the boy, the authorities knew when his mother was thus taken away, for his conduct varied with the presence or absence of his mother. At last he was finally re moved from her influence, and he then turned out one of As moat hopeful of the school. Let it not be supposed that such an instance as this throws any slur on the admirable of of parental infla mes. Let no man who has himself experienced its effects attempt to deny its benefits. But, alas ! its very virtues may become vices ; its very strength may constitute its danger. As no other voice than that of a meet can pitted in the ear of a child with more eloquence on behalf of virtue, so no other voice can MOM powerfully seduce a child to vice. The orphan and the deserted are in •situation deplorable enough; but, deplorable es that is, their situation is, perhaps, better than that of the children in the lowest ranks of society. Poe their parents either neglect their children entirely or studiously educate them in crime. Without doubt, parental influence, properly exerted, is a thing to be held sacred. It is the fountain of a thousand blessings. But when that induence is grossly misdirected and neglected, it is both the interest and the duty of the State to undertake the abandoned office. In short, there are 60,000 pauper children. These children may become either admirable members of society, or an army of thieves. Experience has proved this in innumerable ways. Even those children who are doomed to the superintendence of vicious parents are proof that education is everything. A father oe a mother, though the most powerful teachers of virtue when themselves virtuous, are the most powerful teachers of vies when themselves vicious. snowing, then, these principles, instructed in them by their own Inspectors, what is the policy of our Government P Its policy is unfettered as to these children. The State may do what it pleases. There is no indifference on the part of the parent' to be combatted. The children need not be taken from school before they are of an age to go to work. No dome interposes a bar to their moral and religious culture, for the Slags provides a home. Money need not be wanting, for the State may provide it. Yet, having all these advantages, what does the State do P Instead of separating these State children from the pollutions of vice; instead of ' 1 giving them some chance of cleansing their minds from the pollution in which they were born; instead of sending them to District schools, it confines them in Peeper schools, wt ere the poison of ♦ins is thoroughly concentrated, and where those 'dojos of moral corruption, instead of being evaporated by e pore atmosphere, may become ingrained and indelible. This is a fearful responsibility. Let Mr. Luxes look to it. Our's Hoarrna..—At a wart of committee, of thin hespitai,keld en the lith iait.,the RiehtHadhudd Hight Her.

Os Mamese, at a pethffill hissing held la the tewa-hall, it was reell that a uomplimentery ad dress should be peasseal to an General on his arrival in the town. .11S Thhhiday the Omni was met at the railway station a amber Of biennial inhabi tants of the town and ant hollihstod to the Shirehall, where the address was net by the E. C. A. Bt. John General WILMA= NM—Ladies aad Gentlemen, in ac cepting the inviistias of my friend and old comrade, Major Shinier, I was hopes that I should have beta allowed to enter his house quietly, awn, and naaolieed—(cries of " No, ref')—but you have willed It *therein, ; and it is my duty to attempt to thank you la fitting tents for the honour you have this day doss me. (Loud chem.) You hays ben pleased to tell me you entirely approve of my conduct in the difiletaltpoeitioa I wee placed In in the But. I can smote you that to hear each words from my countrymen sad my countrywomea is most conssling, and the more so bemuse they no borae oat by the military opinion, I may say, of a great part of Europe. I received in Russia, in Pinson, and in Proses, proofs of the same sympathy sod approval that you have shows me, from the military men of then salons. (Cheers.) Therefore lam induced to hope that the opinion you have expressed of the conduct of myself and my aWee-denamp, one of whom is here, is • jut one--that it was such as the occasion called for, end that we perfumed oar duties and executed the sage instruc tions gives as by the allies, with all the firmness and container that the means la our power suabled us to do. (Load chew.) I my this because there have been lately attempts made to detract from that defend, or rather to prove that we win wing in de fending Bars at all. I will sot enter into that question hen. It is a military one. But I will remark that in de fending Ban, which, as the result proved, was unasesil• able, except by femiae, we saved from the enemy a groat part of Asia Minor, and perhaps the Turkish capital itself. (Cheers.) Therefore, anything that has been written, or may be written upon that subject will not detract one iota from the defence dist was there made. (Cheers.) I will sty no more on that. I will now come to another sub joet which I wish to bring before you—that I. the oon stoney, enrage, and valour of the Turkish soldiers who stood by the aide of sae In that defeat*. I think this is an set of justice. I feel it would not be doing justice to those who fell In the defense, if I were to remain silent on this point. (Cheers.) 1 believe that where there is that military virtue, courage, much ma be hoped for. This has been questioned. I received the other day a letter from a kind friend of mine who her • different opinion on ibis subject, and he says— " I saintot agree with you that there is hope for Turkey from the mange of the soldiers, for look et tangos's, and the way la which the Pertaguese 'oldie's fought under British °Sean." I have net showered that letter, bat I say he has confirmed osi sio opial In k en that lounge shown et Sa ragasa, sad by the soldiers, has preserved them is their indenadease la day. (Olesses.) Whetter they are misgoverned se sae. they mesaillins. The French are not in Saragossa, the Bpsstsris an soils Portugal. I enaction this in regard to Turkey bow, I believe our policy is to be patient with that satin when it is enlarged is reformieg itself. We know what the difficulty was of canying out reforms in this country, sad we must have a fellow feeling for them. (Cheep) I will sow tutu to another point. You say at the end of this address that you wish me prosperity in my future Goner. Now, on my ant snivel at Diver I (aniseed to the people, is reply to as editions there, that all wee thinness as to the future of our military establish ments; end I uttered a few wird* which have echoed through this laud, I am led to believe, withroosiderable effect —tt Woe to the anion that neglects the military art." (Cheers.) Now soother and a new era bee dawned on us. We is. establistimeate formed to remodel our army ; we see the numbers that wen preserved after the peace, and we have every hope that such ameliorations and ngulations will be introduced that we shall have in this country a forte that shall be capable of keeping the enemy from us, that we may not have our hearths polluted by foreign soldiers, and no one during our lives or the lives of our children may hear the foreign soldiers my, "Wee to the vaaquished I" (Chem.) These few remarks, I trust, will not be an 'adored irrelevant to the minion. As you had gemmed a wish forth* prosperity of my fature career, I have said this to show that in or out of parliament I shall support those messes* that may give weight to these nesilerations, bare a tendency to prodeet ourselves as a nation, and defend the greaten accumulation of wealth ever collected in any country. Ido not wain sae man more. (Cheer.) I will not detain you logger; but thank you from my heart for the homier you have dose me, and the cordiality of the re ception you have given me, and the sympathy yen have upraised in the difficulties by which I wee surrounded, as embodied in this address.

NAPLES AND THE WESTERN POWERS. (IT 110/11•11112 AND BRITON PARIS, SATURDAY MORNING. The Monaeur publishes the correspondence be tween Count Waleweki and M. Brenier on the sub ject of Naples. Count %Iowa!, writing to M. Brenier, on May 21, says that the situation of Naples and Sicily consti tutes a danger for the repose of Italy, and recom mends reforms. The Neapolitan government replies that no govern. went has a right to interfere with the internal affairs of another State. Count Walewski, writing to M. Brenier on Oct. 10, Nays:— " You will, M. le Beron, have the kindness, on the receipt of this despatch, to take the necessary measures to leave Naples with all the member, of your Legation. Similar instructions have been sent to the English embassy. You will hand over the archives of the Legation to the Consul of his Imperial Majesty. Moreover, and to provide even tually efficacious protection to French subjpots re siding in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilia, a French squadron will be kept in readiness at Toulon (se tiendra al Toulon), where it will be within reach to receive the orders that it might be found requisite to transmit to it in case that it should become neces sary to entrust to it, in the interest of our fellow subjects, the can of supplying the deficiency caused by the absence of official protection. To be prepared at the proper moment for such an eventuality, the Commander of this squadron has instructions to send occasionally one of the vessels placed under hie orders to visit the ports of Naples and of Sicily, when the captain of such vessel will place himself in com munication with our consuls. With a similar object in view, it is the intention of her Britannic Majesty to station a squadron in the port of Malta." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (mom ova come i own%) PARIS, FRIDAY EviNtxo. I sent this morning by telegraph the entire text of the article in the Moniteur, complaining sorely that "for some time put" (depuis guelgue temps)" divers organs" of the English press have taken pains to circulate "odious calumnies" concerning the French government ; and, therefore, I dare say that before these lines reach Londoa you will have taken ' , suitable notice of the subject. For my own humble part, I do not feel called upon to plead to this indictment. I cannot accuse myself of having within a period which, by any reasonable construc tion, can be considered as indicated by the elastic phrase depuis guelgue temps written anything which even the French government would call an odious calumny. Years ago, indeed, I said my say of the coup dela, the dragooned universal suffrage, the mock constitution, and so forth; but it is very long since I ceased to dwell on any such topics, considering that the acquiescence of the French people in the regime under which they live, entitled their ruler to be spoken of with the respect due to the recognised head of a great and friendly nation. My communications have long been confined to statements of facts, none of which I adopt without reasonable evidence, and to comments of the most moderate, not to bay tame, kind upon political events as they arise. I, therefore, abstain from entering upon any defence of the " divers organs " of the English press, whichever they may be, to which the Moniteur refers, observing merely that sine(' the professed ob ject of the paragraph is to warn the English people against the excesses of their press, it is desirable that the accusation should be made a little more specific, in order that the public may have some guide to the selection out of the immense mass of matter daily written in England about French affairs to what the French government meats to include under the expres sion odious calumnies. It results from one sentence in the paragraph that the reason why the French go vernment can only reply to these calumnies by contempt, is because they are anonymous; bat in what other way it would reply if the obnoxious articles were signed by the writers, after the modern French fashion, dots not appear. At all event'', the' , newspapers are not anonymous; and the publishers of all of them are quite as responsible for libellous matter as the authors of the articles would be, supposing they signed them. It is evidently desirable that it should be known whether the French government complains of fair and serious criticism of its diplomacy, of disquisitions not alto gether flattering as to the political and financial state and prospects of the country, or of grossly im probable gorier, written only to raise a laugh and not believed by those who laugh at them, or (and I have just been told that this is after all the gravamen of the offence which has caused so much irritation) the citation of au article from an American paper. I must add, however, that many people —unable to believe that at this moment when the fleets of the two countries are making a joint demonstration big with im portant consequences, the French government mid make a fuss about any mere scurrilous libel —are seriously apprehensive that the paragraph indicates a had state of feeling between the cabinets of London and Paris in regard to European affairs. The Prase says, in its leading column, that the Monifeur has " produced a certain sensation ;" and in its money article it has the following paragraph, the wording of which is very remarkable :—" The ca lumnious articles of the English journals, of which the 11fonitesir speaks this morning, have produced an impression among the speculators who did not hitherto know of their existence." The Bourse was very depressed indeed. Although the feeling of discouragement was considered to be owing in some degree to the note in the Moniteur, the further fall which took place wu attributed principally to the "execution" of a number of speculators for the rise, who have hitherto held on in the hope of seeing a reaction from the long continued downward tendency of the market. The Rents, which closed yesterday at 66fr. 60c. for' , account, opened at 66fr. 50c., went down to 661 r. 30c., and after a feeble rally to the extent of a few can times, closed very heavily at 66fr. 25c., being a fall of 400. For each the tall was the same. Credit Mobilier was offered in all directions, and fell 651 r. The Austrian railways, which for some days have resisted the general depression, gave way to•day, and fell 10fr. in French railways very little business was done, but quotations were generally from sfr. to 10fr. lower.

The Frankfort Post Zeitung lately stated that "Naples was bound by treaty not to establish any institution similar to the Spanish Cortes." The Leipsic Deutsche Allgemsine Zeitung denied the statement, and the Post Zeitung replies by publish ing the subjoined important document, which is the secret article of a treaty concluded between Austria and Naples on the 12th of June, 1815 : The obligations which their Majesties take upon them selves by this treaty, for securing the internal peace of Italy, make it their duty to preserve their States and their Taegu tine subjects from new reactions, and from the misfortunes coiling from imprudent innovations, and it is, therefore, understood by the high contracting pert:es, that his Majesty the Ring of the Two Sicilia., on again taking into bigheads the government of his kingdom, shell not make any changes which are not in keeping with the old monarchical institu tions and with the principles adopted by his Imperial Royal Majesty in the internal government of his Italian pro vincu. THE RUSSIAN SQUADRON AT KIEL. (ONON ova OWN CONIMPONDENT.) KIEL, Ocrr. 21. This morning, at an early hour, four foreign ships of war were signalled from Balk as being in the offing, and a couple of hours later they came into this harbour and anchored. They proved to be the Rus- sian squadron expected from Cronstadt for some time past, and consisting of the screw steam line-of-battle ship Wyborg, the screw steam frigate Polkan, the sailing frigate Castor, and the despatch brig Philos. tetes, the whole being under the command of Rest. Admiral Berens, whose flag is flying at the mizen of the Wyborg. Later in the day the Admiral saluted the Danish flag, which was duly returned by the land batteries. A good many of the officers obtained leave of absence, and proceeded to Hamburg by the after. noon train. To-morrow the ships will commence coaling, and in a few days will proceed to the Medi. terranean, where the Wyborg and Polkan will winter at Nice, placing themselves at the disposal of the Empress Dowager of Russia during her stay there, whilst the Castor and Philootetes will eventually go on to the Piraeus, where they are to remain on the station. We were all much struck by the great alteration in the Russisn naval uniform since the last visit of Russian ships of war to this port. The colour of the uniform has been changed from green to blue, aid the short-tailed costes of the officers been replaced by the modern tunic as used in the army. In lien of the white cap formerly used in the Russian navy, blue ones are now introduced, with a white passepoil, and in front is • raised foul anchor on the national cockade (black, yellow, and white—the same as the Hanoverian cockade). Another great improvement in the uniform is the substitution of shoulderstrape of silver, on which is embroidered the number of the naval equipage to which the officers belong, for the former unsightly and heavy-looking epaulettes with long loose bullion,which gave the wearer such a high. shouldered appearance. For undress and when on duty the officers wear a dirk instead of the long sword as formerly, which latter is now only worn in full dress. On the whole the alterations in the Russian naval uniform may be pronounced to be improvements. PIEDMONT. A letter from Genoa of the 20th October says: "The cause of civil marriage has jut made a great step. M. Urbino Ratazzi's proposition, which he is about to renew in the Chamber of Deputies, will this time have the consent of the King. Simple religious marriage offers too many lacilities for ill-assorted unions. The marriage of the Duchess of Genoa is a striking proof of this. It would be affectation to be silent on the subject, since the fact is now one of public notoriety, and has even been mentioned in the government papers. The Duke of Genoa, when on his deathbed, ordered that his children should be brought up in Piedmont, for the duchess being sub ject to be homesick at times, it wu probable that she would return to Saxony if she could. As it turned out, it was found necessary to have re course to the King's authority to enforce the execs Lion of his august brother's last wishes. The ducl:ess might, he said, go to Dresden if she pleased, but he insisted that the children !bottle...iota& iu Piedmont. The duchess lived in one of her chateaux in the diocese of Ivry. She was married by Mon signor Moreno, the bishop of the diocese, to &captain is the army, whose acquaintance she had made when he was orderly officer to her husband. The mar riage took place in the chapel of the chateau with only servants for witnesses. The bishop took upon himself the task of informing the King. His Majesty was much astonished at the intelligence, and immediately agreed with his Ministers that the provisions of the Code Napoleon regarding marriage should be introduced into Piedmont. The Princess being now under the authority of another husband, is free to go to Saxony, but Prince Savore Carignan has been named guardian of her children." PRESTON S. BROOKS AT HOME.
