LONDON, 711URSDAY, SINCE the delivery of WILLIAM DEVER'S mama to the boys of the Lambeth Refuge, we hare not read a speech more to our mind than that in which Dr. LIVINGSTON returned thanks for the suppliant paid him at Freels:mote' Hall. Dr. LIVINGSTON is one of the few men whom words are realities. There is a quiet curt energy about his statements which irresistibly impugns the bearer with a conviction that ha has done what he says, aid that he will do it again when messioa offers. There is a tronsparency in the simplicity of his diction which lets as see the workings of his mind, as if by some process of ia tailloo. There were many puesges in Dr. LIYIKO WOWS addrers which reminded us of the thrill ing effect of Sergeant-Major EDIVAZDS'ii question at the banquet of the Guards- 0 Do you remember when the French came over the bill ?• This is the Una English school of skeletons:* 1 words supple mentary to acts— brief exclamations, conveying a whole history of tranquil, persistent, indo mitable daring. The sayings and doings ct men like Dr. Ltriooorote, and DRIVER, and EDWARDS are demonstrations that the old Beek& spirit is is our day and generation as fall of vitality as ever. In all ranks, in all pursuits of life, we have men who unartentationsly and eliesdeely carry out what they have undertakes—what duty commands them to do. How thenoghly Dr. LIVINGSTON is inspired with this spirit is obvious from many passages in his speech. Ha plainly and truthfully laid before his audience the apathy on the part of the oration that will have to be encountered in our attempts to evangelise Akin. Ile warned them against undue reliance at that gregarious enthusiasm which is commu nicated by the contagion of crowded meetings and evaporates in speeches. "He knew there was to be hard work in the future, as then bad boar in the pest. It was not by grand meetings, fine speechifying, and much excitement that anything gnat was to be dote ; no, it was by bard workieg, working in quiet, working under a earn of GOD'S presses everywhere, working without an ex pectation of easing the fruits." Then is true sublimity in Dr. LIVINGSTON'S allusion to the immediate resumption of the arduous task which he has been prosecuting far an. teen years, and is about to return to after an interval of only a few mouths. "He raw it to be his duty to go, and ha wee determined to do his duty, whatever others might say shoot the matter." The LIVINGSTON reception has vividly impressed upon our imaginations the part which Great Britain has taken daring the last half century in bringing into more intimate relations ■ll peoples and regions of the earth. To welcome back to his natal soil the truly good and modest explorer of Africa, there wen gathered together men who have distinguished themselves as enterprising mer chants, as warriors and statesmen, as scientific travellers, as missionaries. There wen men honourably associated with Arctic and Antarctic discovery, with the exploration of the high table-land of Tibet, with the investigations which have restored to the eye of day the long-buried wonders of the Assyrian and Egyptian Empires. It was impossible to look round upon those assemblies without feeling a thri I of exaltation at the thought that, literally, the whole earth is full of our labours—that then is no region in which our industrial enterprise, our skill in arms, oar benevolent eagernen to diffuse the Meetings of civilisation and pure and true religion have not been displayed. The special object of these meetings naturally rivets attention most closely on what haa been me complibhed in Africa. Rance was the Brat to intro duce to the knowledge of Europe the modern inhabitants of the region. of that continent mat of the Nile.

Waite our land explorers have bass thus hasp, oar navilatots have surveyed and mapped the entire coast of Mires, from Pilules round to Sus. Englishmen have not merely seen a great part of Atrica—they have studied it. Before the LANDSIS sailed down the Niger, It'lanium had proved that it must find its way to the Bight of Benin. The studies of our countrymen have thrown light on the remotest antiquities of Attics, as well es upon its actual condition. THOMAS Yonne was the first who gave to themeholars of Europe the key which has enabled them to decipher the hieroglyphic writing of the Egyptians. And lastly, these di.rovetles have been achieved less at the instigation of enlightened curiosity or mercantile adventure than from a noble and disinterested desire to benefit the inhabitants of Africa, and elevate them in the scale of existence. Avidity to open cep new channels of commute hes no doubt done a good deal. The progress of colonisation has led to not a few accidental diametric& But the systematic ex ploration of Africa was first undertaken by the benevolent and energetic men who devoted their lives to the task of suppressing the African slave trade, and many of our most secorssful explorers have been, like Dr. Limos':cat, mis.

We claim for our countrymen no' 'neuritic from the weaknesses and vices of human nature; Moue relaticeswithAfrioNas a nation,webave doubtless committed many errors. and have at times been asimated by vanity and self-will, if by nothing worse; but, viewed comprehensively, our interooww with that continent hos been characterised by a eel& aseridoe and devotion to the great mum of humanity for a parallel with which the page of history may be .arched in vain. Nor are we without our reward., Rival nations may impute unworthy motives to as, bat the African rams do no jostles. As soon es Dr. LIVINGSTON succeeded in nuking known his country to the inhabitants of the regions which had never before been trodden by t►e foot of a white man, they exclaimed, " Oh, we know who you arm. You belong to that tribe which loves the black Facts like these teach as that England has the power to aid and benefit other peoples, and that to shriek from the exercise of it woald ta wantonly to neglect a mission to which the Anger of Providence points. If, indeed, in a vainiglorions straggle for influence abroad we should leave unfulfilled oar home duties, we shoald be highly culpable. But the moo who ars most ardent in promoting the program of light and liberty among other nations are the very men who are most indefatigable in their labours to extend education to all classes of their countrymen, sad to improve the moral and physical condition of oar own poor. The philanthropists of Ragland practise at home what they preach abroad. If other mations are ►amiliar with the weekiseseseasid close of English society it is beeline our own Nadel sad poli tical reformers bare with a fearless candour revealed them to all as the indispensable first step towards amendment. An era of great changes is opening apon the world, sad the energy with which Egghead is extending her relations over the whole globe, and still more the fearless self-investigation with which she is probing her own faults, convince as that her part in it will be an honourable one.

He wished It to be understood that he was not 'clematis/ • sew tnnalaticia, which was sot theasau ; but • sew nation, which was smeary. Protestants, who Minded their taigas on the Bible, ought to have that book as pure and se correct as possible ; sad whoa it was admitted, as protestants did admit, that there were errors in the current editioa the whole case was given up. The book on which a religion was [Goaded could not be too free from error, because the more error was expunged the clearer the truth would appear. Then it was said that the present was not ea opportune time for the proposed revision. This wee the ordinary objectioa made to every reform sad proposed improvement.

It was absurd to suppose that thus were not an fa Oxford and Cambridge, and other seats of leaning, who were peMetly capable of es. eating sea • work. The works published in recent trees on ballad criticism were both numereas and profound, and showed that people felt a deep interest in the true reading of the scriptures.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE WAR WITH PERSIA. A Constantinople letter of the sth says, that Fonda than was to take possession on the 15th of this month only, of the palace assigned for hie resi dence. According to the news it is unlikely that the Turkish ambassador, supposing him not to have given up the peoject of coaling to Paris, will arrive at Marseilles so soon as has been supposed. How ever, it is vety confidently stated in the official circles of Paris yesterday afternoon that he will really be at Marseille, by the 22nd. A correspondence of the Bth. in the Coasteesetionetel, expresses an opinion that Lord de Radcliffe's negotiations with Fernkh than did not meet with all the success that the English minister hoped for. " This is but a conjecture," says the correspondent, " but one that is not devoid of probability." It is said that Ferukh Khan was greatly dissatisfied with the explanations offered on the subject of the attit ode of the English in the Persian Gulf, and their recent declaration of war, and that he had suddenly broken off the conferences which were conamenoed . It the rumours current are to be believed, M. Thouvenel has offered hie mediation between the two diplomatist.. M. Bonnie, the French Minister to the court of Persia, whose arrival at Marseilles is announced by telegraph, left Constantinople on the Bth rather un expectedly. It may be remembered that some time ago it was thought that he would accompany Ferukh than to Paris. The reason assigned for his abrupt departure is the sufficiently probable one that he desires to report to his government the present state of the negotiations between the English and Persian Miaistere on the Angle Persian question. The Verite attache, no credit to the denial by the Beersandelle of Hamburg of thee:Wen°, of a defen sive treaty between Russia and Persia. The Prow or Orissa, in speaking of the affairs of Persia, says: Baldish subjects and interests at Teheran have, in comae gasses of the absence of all the immune' of their maims' leption, been placed ander the protection of the Ottoman ambassador. The capture of Rent took place on the 76th Oct., but as no bitten have bees received from that town later this the 6th, so details of the siege are known.

The Afghans mad* a vigorous resistance, and certainly acted under the advise of mos more able than themselves.

This oiliest, Waco he has eatend the Perot= minim, steads no longer is the lists of the Preach army. THE NEW A Turin letter states that Count Cavonr ham written a nets to Count fitackelberg, the Russian minister at Turin, in which he declares in favour of the British and Austrian interpretation of the treaty of peace as regards Bolgrad; riding, however, that the Sardi nian representative will examine with impartiality and independence all the arguments which may be adduced at the Conference. Ths Proses of Brussels contains a Paris letter, slgued " Y." In announcing that Count Walewski Is to preside at the Continuums which will shortly open at Paris, the writer says: I may emu go farther, and declare that if the nature of Wigs had not attributed that position to the want, the sea- Waists ezpreseint by the English cabinet show that that Power timid have bee* most anxious to plata him there by its suffrage. I am hers, I know well, is contradiction with the mama which have bees current on the subject for some time pest. The violent articles which have appeared in the English papers cannot be forgotten; but I believe that I ea perfectly elect when I affirm that the English minis ters reject RIM energetically all responsibility in such ar ticles, and protest against every idea of interfering in the internal affairs of France, and particularly agaiast any attempt to deprive Count Walewski of the position at the Coafenseas which his post of Enlister for Foreign Affairs is the county when the Conferences ate held entitles him to. I may add that, on this point, declarations have been commuaicated to the Count by official personages of a as- tare to be altogether sati►factory. The same letter adds that Baron de Brunnow will again represent Russia at the Conference, thus taking the place which ought in the ordinary course to de volve on Count de Kim*left The reason of the change, it declares, is that the baron, from having taken part in the former Conference, is better quali fied to follow the proceedings on the present occasion. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (Pao Ori OWN PARIS. WIIMIZSDLY STIKINE'. Contrary to what might have been reasonably anticipated, the very serious article in the Monsieur, ezpressiog the imperial disapprobation of "dema gogic" Switzerland, and giving the King of Frusta a letter of license to invade the Swiss territory as soon as he pleases, has been favourably received at the Bourse. The reason is that the speculators be lieve either that Switzerland will yield without striking • blow, or that the material force which the King of Prussia, backed by the moral support of France, will be able to bring against her will be so overwhelming that the couflict will not be serious. Consideration■ of justice and equity and the rights of peoples must not be expected to exercise any influence upon the only sort of public opinion which now Sods expression in France, namely, the opinion of the Bourse. There is rea son to believe that the determination of the French government must have been known in Berlin some days since. A correspondence from that capi tal, arrived to-day, says " The cabinets of France and Russia have recently declared to the cabinet of Berlin that they would in no way oppose an eventual action of Prussia against Switzerland. It is also confidently said that the French Emperor openly declared to General Dufour that be had no intention to protect the neutrality whisk Switzerland seemed to rely upon as a defence against a Prussian invasion." It was reported, you will recollect, that Napoleon 111. had said just the contrary to General Dufour ; but it appears from the Mowileer that the promise was conditional upon Switzerland giving way. The Nord of Brus sels pretends that a " Power friendly to Protasis", has proposed to the Powers parties to the protocol of London to make soother atpeal to the Helvetic Confederation by a collective note to yield to the Hinged Prussia's demand. If this report should be true, says the Nord, the path for as honourable com promise is yet open to Switzerland. I doubt ha mensely whether Boglaad will be a party to any such rankling transaction. Another review, still grander than the last, was passed by the Emperor to-day in the Place du Carrousel, far the gratification of the Prince of Prussia. All the regiments of the Imperial Guard now present in Paris, including the cavalry and artil lery, were on the ground. The entire force amounted to from 18,000 to 20,000 men. The arrangements made for mat ue ening so large a number of troops in each a relatively confined space were admirable. The Emperor, mounted on his favourite charger, was accompanied by the Prince of Prussia and Prince Napoleon. All the marshals now in Paris, Marshals Valliant, Marian, ltaraguay d'Hilliera, Canrobert, Bosquet, and the Duke of Malakoff, were amongst the brilliant staff that followed his Ms. jesty. The Empress, with her baby, appeared in the balcony of the Pavillon de l'Horloge. The Rents rose Wk. for cash, and 650. for account, closing at 661 r. 800. and 661 r. 95c. Mobilier rose 36fr.

"On one side," says the Paris Moniteur, "Frans has met with a sincere desire to terminate a delicate question; on the other, on the contrary, an obatinsey I which is to be regretted, an exaggerated suscepti bility, and a complete indifference to her counsels." From this crime of obstinacy (writes the correspondent of the Times) I fear there is no way of defending poor Switzerland. The reproach of the Moniteur is, alas, too true. Switzerland hu before now displayed her obstinacy on other matter'. That characteristic fault of hers has brought her into trouble more than once. It is proved by the following letter addressed by the Duke of Montebello to the Federal Directory in January, 1838: After the events of Strasburg and the aft of generous clemency of which Louis Napoleon Bonaparte had been the object, the King of the French could not expect that a friendly country like Switzerland, and with which the ancient relations of friendly neighboure had lately been so fortunately renstablished, would suffer that Louis Bonaparte should return to its territory, end, with a contempt of all the obligations imposed on hinkby gratitude, should den to resume there criminal intrigues and avow loudly inseasate pretensions, of which their very folly cannot absolve him since the attempt at Struburg. It is notorious that Annenberg is the centre of intrigues which it is the right and duty of the King's Government not to tolerate. Vainly would Louis Bonaparte deny the pamphlet he has published both in Germany and Franca— that which the Court of Peers had recently condemned—to which It is proved be had given his assent, and bad dis• tributed it. Poets exist, which prove that the object of his return from America was not only to pay the last duty to a dying mother, but likewise to tenet. mum plans and announce pretensions which, it is now aosatrated, he never resouneed. Switzerland is too honourable and faithful an ally to permit that Loots Bona parte shall call himself one of her citizens, and the pretends, to the throne of France—that he shall call himself a Frenchman whenev. r he may cooceive a hop* of eotivalaing his °misery for the fortherimin of hie plans, and a citizen of Thiergovia when the goearnmeat of his country wishes to prevent a repetition of his criminal attempts. How Prince Louis Bonaparte felt on that occuioa may be seen by the following : Monsieur Is Arenenberg, Sept. 12, 1638. -When the note of the Duke of oatibello was addressee to the Diet, I Would set submit to this ezigeacies of the French government, fur it was neces sary for ma to prove, by my refusal to retire, that I had re. tarend to Switzerland without violating any engagement; that I bad a right to reticle there, and tb►t I should find there aid and protection. • • . . Switzerland has demonstrated, during a month, by has energetic protests, and now by the decisions of the grad Councils which have anti:shied up to the present time, that she wu prepared to matte the greatest sacrifices for the maintenance of her dignity and her right. She has does her duty as an independent nation. I shall perform miss, snd remain feithfol to the voice of honour. I may be per secuted, but I shall never be dishonoured. The French government having declared that the refusal of the Diet to comply with its demand would be the signal of a conflagration of which Swim eland might become the victim, it only remains for me to quit a country where my presence is the subject of each unjust pretensions—where . - it would he the pretence for such great calemities. I request you, therefore, M. de Landmass, to monomers to the Federal Directory that I shell leave as soon as 1 shall have obtained from the Ambassadors of the different Powers passports necessary for me to proceed to a plea whirs I may find a secure saylitra. la voluntarily quitting to day the only country in Eu►ope in which I found support and protection—in withdrawing from places which bad become deer to me in so many re spect', I hope to prtee to the Swim people that I was wor thy of the marks of esteem and 'Motion they lavished an me. WWI forget the noble conduct of the cantons who declared so courageously in my favour, sad particularly the recollection of the generous hospitality accorded me by the canton of Thurgovia will remain profoundly engraved in my heart.
