The eagerness with which some allegations of such a tendency have been denied is gratifying ; but it is certain that there have been some instances of refusal of rescue from dependence ; and there can be no question of the daily increasing peril which besets the characteristic virtue of our highest class of operatives. Connected with this is the very serious mischief that the influence of too many of the em ployers and local authorities goes to encourage the spirit of dependence, and to disincline the people to accept invitations to other districts, and into other occupations. We heard • great deal at the beginning about keeping the people together, and about preserving their aptitude for their peculiar work ; and now, though we hear less about it, we find the effort to compass the thing whichever way we turn. It seemed plain to many observers at the outset of the distress that, though a certain proportion might very properly be so " kept " together," it could not possibly — be right to propose such a method 'for the whole body, as under no circum stenos, could there be work for them ' all when the manufacture revives ; and now it has become so certain that there must be a long restriction of that branch of industry, that society will not tolerate any attempt to keep four or five millions of our people dependent on an occupation which will not maintain half of them. Society is not so slow and dimsighted as not to perceive that the operatives have before them the prospect of miserably low wages, unless a very large propor tion of them become presently absorbed in other industries. If the operatives themselves did but foresee their doom in this respect, they would quarrel with no labour test that has as yet been put in practice. They would see how the neces sary diversion to other employments is helped by any sort of labour test by which a certain number is pretty sure to be transferred from cotton spinning to other work. If the test of open air labour is found more or less agreeable by young men, they may be very ready to go to work on colonial land ; and if it is found detestable, there will be all the more readinep to find something else to do. Sewing for the 014 and primers and slates and reeding-rooms for the men and boys, are all very well for a short and specified time ; but when it has become certain that the former activity of the manufacture cannot possibly be restored, it is high time to be re moving from the cotton districts the surplus operatives and a due proportion of other classes (as engineers and machinists), which have grown big with the prosperity of the manufacture, and must diminish again very rapidly if they are not to suffer utter ruin. What are the facts ? There is at this moment an argument between two parties who should understand the case, whether the distress is moat due to the deficiency of cotton now, or to the over production of fabrics • year or two ago. Both causes are operative, however the question of pre cedence is settled. It has to be considered, not only that, by common agreement, there cannot be more than half a supply of cotton ; but that, by the inordinate recent production, a large proportion of the capital of the employers is locked up. The capital which should set men and 'notarial to work is stowed away in mills and machinery which will be closed for a long time to come. These mills have called into existence a vast amount of engineering, mechanical, and other industry, which is now suffering as much as the spinning and weaving. Not only has this industry, now so suffering, overstocked Lancashire with mills and machinery, but it has brought up other countries to • capacity for competition with us ; and in this way there is at once the mischief of a disabling of capital at home, and a loos of custom abroad. Such being the state of things, it seems plain enough that we ought to be removing to the colo nies the people who cannot expect at home a renewal of their former prosperity, nor even any proper support at all. This leads on naturally to • consideration of the proportion borne to each other, under the new circumstances, of the several requisites to the cotton manufacture. The.. requisites are, Sat, capital under two forms—that which is fixed in the mills sad the machiesry, and that which is continually passing round in the purchase of ma terial and the payment of wages; secondly, the raw material ; and thirdly, the labour of the ope ratives. Now, not only is there • great Ices of capital from the mills and machinery being useless and deteriorating, but there is a total suspension of the profits which should naturally repair the waste of capital, and keep up the wages fund. We are supplied from various quarters with such state ments of what the losses will be by next Mid summer that we fear to copy the figures. As for We sincerely hope that we are not premature in our remarks when we congr►tulate London on the prospect of some slight improvements. The demolition of Middle-row, the clearance of Holy well-street, the levelling of Holborn-hill, and the abolition of metropolitan turnpikes, are not yet accomplished, but there is a prospect of getting rid of two offensive eyesores. If a paragraph in our impression of yesterday contains no exaggerated statements—if it points truly to a much-needed and long-looked-for conclusion—those hideous, fruitless houses which have so disfigured Snow-hill and Stamford-street will no longer be allowed to defy all sense of decency. For five-and-twenty years they have reflected every diseased whim of their " eccentric" owners ; they have stood by the roadside like black barren spectres ; they have not only been blighted themselves, but the cause of blight in others; they havebeen laughed at, sneered at, and trembled at by half a generation ;they have oocupied public ground without performing public du ties ; they have been profitless themselves, and worse than worthless to their pariah ; and they have proved that an Englishman's dwelling may be his madhouse as well as his castle. Dozens of idle stories have been planted in them ; dozens of farthing novelists have fed upon them, and, with a colony of rata, these are probably the only crea tures who have benefited by their existence. For the love of common sense and the respectable appearance of our streets, we trust that their withered reign is now over. Their ownership has been forcibly disputed by a band of claimants who cannot surely be infected with the family disease of " eccentricity." If the men and women who broke into these houses on Tuesday succeed in establishing their claim, these hollow gaping home steads may be once more warmed into life. If they fail, perhaps the old maiden relict of that mysterious owner who disappeared more than thirty years ago, may be roused by the shock of the attack into something like rationality. We have no wish to foster any undue interfor race with the rights of property, and are quite willing to make any sacrifices for the sake of great principles. For this reason we are glad that no diem acting in the name of local or general authority have forcibly relieved us from these eyesores of Snow-hill and Stamford street If the houses bad threatened to fall into the street, they would have been condemned by the proper surveyor ; if their owners had thrown eat prominent projections over the footway, the Metropolitan Board of Works would at once have exercised its power of interfering ; but a sun blialered, silent frontage, and black, ragged win dow holes, being only errors of taste, have been unmolested for more than a quarter of a century. Much as we hate such eyesores, we are willing to wait until they die out or reform themselves, rather than encourage too much inspection and official coddling. We know a neighbouring coun try where no such blots upon the fair face of • city could exist for a week ; but France is not England, and new boulevards are not always the one thing needful. We know the value and meaning of government social reform, and we are not inclined to sell our birthrights for a pail of whitewash. RECEPTION OF THE CONSULAR BODY. SPEECH OF THE VICEROY. ALEXANDRIA, JAN. 21. The Consular Body was received by the new Viceroy yesterday, and presented the following address : " The Consular Body has the honour to present to your Highness its sincere felicitations upon your happy accession to the vice-royalty. Each of us has had the honour to know your Highness in private life, and on more than one occasion to appreciate the eminent qualities which led your Highness to avoid, with a reserve as dignified as it was wise, taking any part in public business during the late govern ment. "Your Highness knew how to obtain respect by respecting the rights of others. By de voting all your activity to improve the condition of your vast estates your Highness afforded a model of good government. During the regency which your Highness was called upon to assume you were able, despite the difficulties of the posi tion, to secure the earnest sympaties of the people whose destiny was committed to your charge, and in dealing with the foreign representatives your Highness gave proof of firmness and justice that inspired the profound respect of the whole colony. Such antecedents offer the best guarantee for the future of Egypt. The European powers all have the same interest in the progress of a country as important by its geographical position as by its fertility and wealth ; and in the develop ment of its commerce, the source of prosperity, as much for the different nationalities which we represent as for the inhabitants of the country which your Highness is called upon to govern. That this common interest cannot be more surely attained than by the serious and enlightened mind of your Highness the consular body is deeply con vinced, and therefore unites in one and the same wish, that Heaven may preserve your highness during many long years for the well being and prosperity of Egypt." After having thanked the Consular Body for the good wishes expressed in the above address, the Viceroy said : " I am deeply impressed with the task which God has imposed upon me by recalling my uncle and placing me at the head of the government of Egypt ; and I hope, under the auspices of his Im perial Majesty, my august sovereign, to be able to worthily fulfil it. I am firmly resolved, gen tlemen, to devote to the prosperity of the country which I am called upon to go- I yarn, all the perseverance and energy whereof I am capable. The base of all good admini stration is order and economy iu the finances. This order and economy I shall follow by every possible means, and in order to give an example to all as well as a proof of my firm intention, I have resolved upon abandoning the system cf my predecessors by fixing for myself a civil list, which I shall never exceed. This measure will enabie me to devote to the development of agriculture all the re sources of the countay. I shall thus also be able to abolish the fatal system of forced labour (core ea) hitherto followed by the Egyptian go vernment in its works, and which is the principal and, I may say, the only cause which has pre vented and still prevents the country from taking all the development of which it is susceptible. Due consideration shall also be paid to the system of free trade in governmental measures, which will cause comfort to be diffused among all classes of availing itself of a quibble in the matter of the Princess Barberini. The France admits that her wrest " cannot be raised to the dignity of a diplomatic incident," but it insinuates that France has interfered in her favour in a private and unofficial manner, and that her release will pro bably be the consequence of this interference. The France says nothing more about astrologers, but it sticks to its text as to the anti-French tendencies of Ismail Pacha, and Touches to warranty a "well informed journal on Eastern questions," the Mestager du Medi, which " fears " that the new Viceroy will not follow in the steps of Said Pacha. No Italian newspapers have been received for the last two days. The France says that the non delivery of them has been hitherto attributed to delay of the mails by floods, but it now thinks that they have been stopped in consequence of their hostile comments upon French policy. The Daily News is seized. The Nation pronounces strongly against the doctrine of the France that government should not interfere at elections in cases where the rival can didates are equally "devoted." The Nation is for interference always, and under all circumstances. Universal suffrage cannot, it says, go right unless the government guides it. M. Granier de Csa manse, the author of the above article, is to draw up the address. The debate in the Corps Legisla tif will come on more speedily than it did last year, and efforts will be made to cut down the speeches. M. Jules Fevre will, however, certainly speak on the Mexican question. The Opinione Nationale, while deprecating as warmly as the government journals the idea of the Pope being under English protection, reminds them that Pius VI. and Pius VII. (as a prince of the church, Cardinal Bends, testifies) both invoked English aid against France, and were within an ace of taking refuge on English soil. Pius VII., when held a prisoner by Napoleon 1., attempted to to fly to "Malta," but was prevented by Bonaparte' getting wind of the conspiracy. There is, there fore, nothing new or extraordinary, as the Nation and France would have it thought, in Pius IX. providing himself with heretic friends in certain contingencies. " Let us, therefore," says the Opinion Nationale, " keep vigilant watch against all evil designs, whether beyond the mountains or beyond the seas." The name of the gentleman appointed to be tutor to the Imperial Prince is Monnier, and not Mercier. The Prince Imperial had, as is well known, as gouvernante Mdme. Bruat, widow of the admiral of that name, and two under-gouvernantee, Mdmes. de Brancion and Bizot, widows of generals who died in the Crimea. Two other persons, Miss Shaw and MdUe. Follet, were also attached to his ser vices. Mdmes. Bruat, de Brancion, and Bizot have now ceased their functions. M. Monnier occupies at the Tuileries the apartment recently held by Mdme. de Brancion. The Bourse was animated, and the Route rose in consequence of an impression that neither the Bank of England nor the Bank of France will raise their dismount this week. The rise in the Route was 20c. for cash, and 15c. for account ; the closing prices, 70fr. 10c. and 70fr. sc. Mobilier rose 18fr. 75c. The profession of bill stealing, which is a safe and thriving one in London, is not extensively practised in Paris. Somehow or other, the French law has a way of getting to the bottom of transactions which in England are carried on with impunity, under cover of respect for negotiable paper and the rights of third partite. A case has just occurred however, in which the Duke de Grammont-Cade rousse was the victim. The Tribunal of Correctional Police yesterday tried a man named Jaumes, au agent d'affaires, on a charge of havizg embezzled two bills of exchange for 8,000(r. and 5,000 fr., which had been entrusted to him to get discounted. A woman, named Jeanjean, who cohabited with Jaumes, was ►lso charged as an accomplice. It appeared from the evidence that, in the beginning of last year, the Duke de Grammont-Cederousse induced a friend, Count de Perigord, to sign two accommodation bills for the amounts above stated, and that the duke handed them to dourness, wbo undertook to get them discounted for him. After waiting a considerable time without news of the bills, the duke applied to Jaumes to know what had become of them. The latter replied that they had been stolen from him, and that he did not know in whose hands they were. That statement was untrue, foe it was soon discovered that he had given them to two women with whom he cohabited, one of whom was Jean jean, now charged as his accomplice. The Duke de Caderousse then lodged • complaint with the police, and warrants were issued against Jennies and Jeanjean, but both of them have hitherto managed to elude the vigilance of the police. The The same influence has made itself felt on the shores of the Caspian, where till recently the Per sians lived in perfect harmony with the other tribes, as in the Caucasus. Here, too, the women of the local tribes are now constantly being carried off by the Persians, and instances have occurred where the unfortunate victims of their violence have made away with themselves. It is easy to trace in these brutal acta the same instigation as that which produces similar deeds in the Caucasus ; and Russia is already reaping the fruit of her efforts. Hostilities have broken out in these regions be tween the Christian and Mnssulman races, and Russia offers money and protection to the former against the latter. The Khans of Tartary and Daghestan, who rule the races situate about the Caucasus and the shores of the Caspian, and some of whom bad formerly given considerable aid to Schamyl, are the chief objects of the attention of the Russian agents. These are striving hard to persuade the people that if they cut the throats of their khans and be they will get not only political liberty, but also a share of their rulers' possessions. The dislike and suspi cion with which Russia is regarded are, however, so great that these intrigues have been quite ineffectuaL General Melikoff has been sent to Daghestan as the military governor, and has brought with him an individual in the drew; of a Turk, whom he presents to the leading men of the country as a Turkish pacha who has been attached to his service by the Sultan with the view of inducing the people of Daghestan to submit to the rule of RUSIfiIL No one believes, however, either in Melikow or the supposed Turk. Melikow was formerly an Ormian, but has now assumed the religion of Russia, and is endeavouring to convert other Ormiana to the same faith, but with very indifferent success, there being as yet but five converts. Some months back he proceeded to Tiflis, and, accompanied by thelKsza, or chief of the Mussulman church, travelled to all the prin cipal towns in the country, where he assembled all the Mussulmans and harangued them on the power of Russia, telling them that seven European kings had waged war against her, that they were worsted, and that they are now paying tribute to the Czar. The Mussulmans afterwards privately inquired of their Kass if all this was true, and the Kass answered that it was not, but that if he did not speak as the Czar ordered, be would be sent to Siberia. Meanwhile Melikow,•as a further inducement, is stating everywhere that if the Mussulmans are faithful to the Czar they will obtain a share of the tribute paid to him by the above seven kings. The persecution in the oountry is represented to be terrible. Numbers of the more respectable inhabitants have been sent to Siberia for denying the lying statements of the governor, and the slightest opposition to the religions propaganda which Russia is advancing with all its might is punished by imprisonment. A militia is being raised, with the object, it is said, of making some milit►ry expedition in the direction of Persia or Bokhara. The pay is excel lent, and the Russians promise abundance of plunder as the result of the expedition. FRIDAY. B.W. to N.W. sod to 1100TLAIID. N.E., strong to fresh, aalrai W r .B.g: to N.N.W.

Alfred de Marbot. Those of Miss Macdonald included Lord Cowley, the Duc de Termite, and Sir James Martin. A FRENCH CRITICISM UPON CHARLES DICKENS. —The Si2ck of yesterday contains a highly eulogistic article, by M. Legouvi, upon the reading recently given by Mr. Dickens, in Paris. M. Legouvf says ;—" Charles Dickens is in our opinion one of the mod remaruble authors of the present day ; our sympathy for him is profound ; he deem to us at least equal to Behar. The same penetrating ob server, and sometimes as pitiless as our novelist, endowed like him with the faculty of breathing life into the most obscure beings, and of explaining the most complex emo tions, he appeals more directly to the heart than Belau. General questions touch him ; the misery of the humble mows him ; he always endeavours to combat some injus tice, to vanquish some prejudice ; his scalpel is not that cf the anatomist who directs, but of the physician who would rue ; he is a great writer, an excellent man." Ma. Cammee Dimwits ut Pura.—lt is with the greatest pleasure that we are enabled to announce that this favourite writer, at the earnest solicitations of his nu meral:ls friends and admirers, has consented to read, gratui tously, two evenings more, at the British Embassy. The readings will be for the joint benefit of the British Charita ble Fund and of the Paris Fund in aid of the Lancuhire operatives. The selections on each occasion will be from the most popular works of our illustrious countryman. They will take place on Thursday, the and Friday, the 30th inst., and full particulars of the programme will be speedily published. We have reason to believe that in order to afford the public at large an opportunity of attend ing these interesting reunions, the price of admission will be coosiderably reduced.--Ocifignaiu.
