Mr. GLADSTONE and Ms colleagues, as leaders with out a party, will of comae be little demonstrative — "seta will be contented to secure his own election.

Without meaning any &mord to the gentlemen concerned in these move ments, wealth take the liberty to point out that their declarations afford no proof that Lord Ewalt mow enjoys the confidence of the Reformers, and an indictment to Reformers to commit themselves Dassiaditionally to his Lordship. The members of the Sleek Exchange are notoriously and avowedly an *Wiens ; their adhesion is given neither to Re former nor Conservative, but simply to the Minister wham policy or personality they deem most llsvearabi to good money operations. The Cor poration of Loudon has been engaged in • rather warm -contest with the Goverment es the score of Corporation Reform. Their Waft.

At the present dissolution the Treasury Worms will be made to tell indifferently for Re grows or Conservatives provided they be friends of Lei PALMERSTON, while the whole energies of the Oggrition will be taxed to augment the Comma dm phalanx. The result is likely to be that we shall have a greater number of Conservativetin the next House of Commons than we have in the pee wit. Now, admitting that Lord PALMERSTON may be able and willing to make his Conservative Mends co-operate with his Reforming friends so long as he holds the reit:. of Govern ment, what guarantee can the Reformers have that in the event of Lord PALMERSTON'S being removed from the scene of action, his Conservative friends will not coalesce with those who are of the same political opinions and sentiments as them selves ? We submit this consideration neither in favour nor in hostility to Lord PALMERSTON, or any living political leader. We have again and again declared that we sec no living reforming statesman capable of uniting Reformers under his guidance, and that till such a ono arise all that can be done is to prevent or heal dissensions in the Liberal ranks, and scramble on as best we may. This de claration we now repeat. When the great meeting WAS held to concert measures for cretin a mese meat to bonen Hume, we remising ene mid= his imperturbable good-nature eel seelebace of quarrels with Reformers of every leak of opinion. We then called upon all Reformers te imitate We example in this respect. The presort crisis is one that calls upon us to repeat the edgeed., tier. The Chinese question has tempi* divided Reformer* into three classes. lbw are those who approve of the Mildibig policy; there are those who disapprove of it, le who do not regard it as so inconsistent with Asir principles a.s to call for their voting against Minis ters ; and there are those who (like ourselves) mg convinced that it is too vital a question to admit of ' its being sacrificed to party considerations. The diversity of action consequent upon these diversities of opinion has naturally given rise to asperities is the Liberal ranks. The anger of some of the mote indiscreet retainers of °armament is vented in threats to oppose the return of any of the Libe rals who voted in the majority. If these threats are carried into effect they will ensure the exclusion from the House of Commons of moderate Misigs like Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR and Sir Fume BARING, and of independent Liberals like Mr. MI& auca, Mr. Fox, and Mr. MuLt.. It would beteg gross ignorance of human nature to imagine tist the Mends of such men will tamely submit to this aserschea. Who will interfere to close up this breach before it widens into danger? The task is obviously for thase;who entertain the same views of the Chinese policy which prompted the vote of the majority, but whose loyalty to party induced them either to vote against their convictions or to abstain from voting. They have a right to demand of the Ministers, to whom they have given so strong a proof of their attachment, that in the Liberal party the Ministerial policy in China shall be at least as open r .1 question. We give this advice not that we are ourselves pre. pared, or that we believe any who entertain our opinions are prepared. to =anyone word that we or they have uttered on the Chinese question, or to desist from seeking to make converts to our views. But when there are so many objects which all Reformers are agreed to struggle for, we do not see why, acting independently on this question, we should not co operate cordially on others. This the proscription re commended by the intemperate Ministeriali►ts would reader impossible. We have discharged our duty is masking this representation; if our warning is disaaprdad our course is clear. The blame of what happens must rest upon the makeliates. To the best of our power we will resist every attempt to Istablish a reign of tenor and gag the conscientious asmonneers of the Canton atrocities. le Mr. ARTNUR GORDON had put last night to her NIAJE•ITY . 9 Government the question of which he had given notice, and inquired " respecting the rela tions at present existing between the Government of this country and that of the United Statio," there can be little doubt of the answer he would have received. The policy of this country has been so unequivocally declared to bo one of the most intimate friendship and hearty alliance with the United States, that no English Government i l can now vary or alter it. The difficulty in the case, if difficulty there be, does not rest with the Eng: lish Government or people; it comes from the other side of the Atlantic, and arises out of the pecu liarities and presumed necessities of parties in the United States, a,s the treatment of the CLARENDON DALLAs Convention in the Senate illustrates. There is no allegation that, in signing this Con vention, Mr. DALLAS at all disregarded his instruc tions or exceeded his powers. On the contrary, it is notorious that the American negotiator considered at the time—and. we presume, still considers—that the British negotiator, to settle and finally dispose of a question which annoyed and irritated the public at home, made large and valuable conceesions, and took the sting out of the MThwEn-CLAYTON Convention, in which the United States was of opinion that Eng land had the best. Lord CLARENDON was, of Course, aware of the comparatively restricted authority pos sessed by the American Plenipotentiary, and that everything he accepted and signed was subject to the revision and approbation of the United States Senate. Knowing this, and knowing how strongly popular feeling ran across the Atlantic, he had every inducement to make the concessions on the part of England sufficiently large and comprehensive to carry the Convention through that body. Mr. DALLAS, on the other hand, still better acquainted not only with the general feeling of his country and the state of parties generally, but also the exact position of the Senate, had every motive to require for the United States terms that would finally settle the question, and by its settlement bring credit on his mission at the Court of London. That both negotiators acted in good faith to each other, that they conscien tiously endeavoured to agree in an arrangement to which no fair or reasonable objection could be taken, and that in signing the Convention they fully be , lined that it provided an honourable and useful solution of all difficulties, and placed the two man tries in accord as to one of the most important routes , of transit between the Atlantic and Pacific, must, we , i think, be admitted. The Convention thus concluded was transmitted by Mr. DALLAS to his Government ; and as by it the Convention was sent for consideration and ap proval to the Senate, it is clear that President PIERCE and his Cabinet fully accepted and sanctioned the labours and acts of Mr. DALLAS. Here, then, we have a powerful weight of the highest authority in favour of the arrangement. Unfortunately, how ever, at the moment President PIERCE sent the Con vention to the Senate, he was entirely without power or influence either in or out of that assembly ; his Presidency was about to expire ; the presidential election bad been just decided by a combination in which what are called Southern influences pre: railed ; no clear and distinct intimation of his policy as future President had been uttered by Mr. BUCHANAN ; and political parties at Washington were in a elate of suspense and doubt By the Senate the Oneention was, in the grew, wares of business, mama to its Onsmittee on /brags Affairs, widish is wide' sow by Mr. MAW. of ruginia. After poisessi dissurista, and sensibrable differ ems at aphis% Mssow and a mejority of the Commillse poirallek and the Committee reported lever Onnoodes. Thereupon the Senate bolt mitered an its essalirragno. No authorised oseeoat of the illomulon be boon published, but thee It, too, was Isai sod velsemsat is known. The um& was tinfaveerable. Tss Csavention was re hired beck to the Committee At amendment and alteration by a majority so rod as to render the conclusion inevitable that it did not wholly eon ' link of Southern Senator'', but that sonic of the anti- Slavery party in the Senate most on this occasion have voted with the Democratic party. Be that, however, as it may, the Committee did, it seems, re consider the Treaty—did suggest some alterations therein, and, having done so, again reported it to the Senate. These alterations were, of course, made in the spirit of the previous decision of the Senate, and aimed at carrying out the views of the majority which had sent the Convention back to the Committee. On a second divisios, low ever, the Senate, by a vote of 25 to 20, refused to further consider the Convention until after the new Administration came into power. And so the matter at present stands. That the Senate should desire to halo ties new Administration in power before it sanctioned the Conveotha appears to be not at all unnatural. Prow tinily the Convention will, if ratified, have to be essoisi oat by Mr. Beene:east ; and it seems to be ▪ omeable that the responsibility of its flag =or rejection should be thrown on that. Either he approves or disproves el tin mrangement. If he approves of it, be will, we poormate, have mfficient influence in tin Senate to foam its approbation of the Cowman. If he ampproves, it is much better for be* son tries dolt ws should know, and, if possible, rows Ms djsellene. than have to wrangle and dispute with Ilts saw PIESIDLNT as to acting on its stipulatime. N Ni. BUCHANAN be determined, as some people apprehend, to keep open this question ;of Central America, we have before us, in the CLArrote. Donuts Convention, evidence and authority that the conclusion sad final adoption of a treaty will not avert or frustrate such a determination. Should he, on the other hand, be animatod, as we hope he is, by a wiser end a better policy, and be resolved to illustrate his Presidency by the cordiality of his relations with England, ho will have a graceful opportunity of commencing that career by procuring the sanction of the Senate, and by himself ratifying this Convention. It is a legacy of good or ill for him according as he may deal with it. The objection which is said to have influenced the vote of Southern Senators is not to any article in the Ctnarenoe-DALLAS Convention itself, bet to that provision in the Convention between I Mersa sad Honduras, by which Honduras binds itself not to permit slavery to exist in the Bay Islands. Now, all that England has required by that provision is, the preservation of the status re in those islands, just as it has by other provi sions secured to the English colonists who have settled there the enjoyment of those municipal, fiscal, sad legal rights and immunities which they possess at present. And as slavery has no existence in Honduras, that State had no difficulty in entering into this obligation. Had this Convention been an arrangement between England and Honduras solely and entirely, in that case the United States would have had no pretensions to make objections to any of its provisions. But as the very object of thit Convention is declared to be " to secure the neutrality of the Bay Islands with reference to any railway or other line of inter-oceanic communication across the territories of Honduras," by the third article " the contracting parties agree to communicate the present Convention to all other maritime powers, and to invite them to accede to it." This provision at once brings the stipulation as to slavery under the pur view of the Senate, and unhappily at a time when passions have been roused to their highest pitch in the States on the subject. Having once inserted the provision, it is impossible to withdraw it, even though on its withdrawal the whole question of Central America should be made hereafter to depend. So much, however, rests on the policy of Mr. BUCUANAN, and en the influence he is likely to pos sess in the Senate, that all we can now safely do is to state, as we have done, how the question actually stands, and to wait for his inaugural address for some expression of his opinions. Tim great joint stock company of forgers and swindlers luos been finally broken up, and every partner in the fraudulent firm has now found to his cost that in such cases the principle of unlimited liability is, very properly, enforced with the ex tremest rigour. JAMES Tow:0111ND SAWARD, Es q., barrister-at-law, of the Inner Temple, alias " JEN the Penman," after a protracted course of cautious and successful villany, has been sentenced to trans portation for the residue of his natural life, and the lama punishment has deservedly been awarded to his accomplice, ANDERSON, " the sender." It i. hardly necessary to dwell at afty length on the sufficiently notorious circumstances of this unpa ralleled case. The evidence given at the Old Bailey added nothing to the facta 'with which the public arc already familiar. The ',tory of the two accomplices, ATWELL and HARDWaCK, was entirely unshaken, and in every important particular corroborated to the very letter. The two moat remarkable features of the cue were the business-like combination with which all the details of the fraud were carried oat, and the remarkable astuteness with which" Jot the Penman" had for years succeeded in baffling all the detective ingenuity of the police, who, though well aware of the existence of this colossal association for plunder, had never been able in any single instance to trace home to its originator and manager conclusive evidence of complicity in the crimes of his subordinates. It is also a sin gular fact that though this wretched and cowardly contriver of crime had been the means of leading to punishment a considerable number of his creatures— all members of the professional crime class—yet it was not till a clue to his detection had been obtained from an accidental source that any one of the num ber could be found to come forward and betray him. It is also singular that though the man moat for years past have been in the receipt of a very handsome revenue from the proceeds of his crimes, yet at the moment of his extremeA need his fonds were so utterly exhausted that he had not the means of retaining counsel for his defence. To have done so, indeed, would only have been a waste of ill-earned pins. The case against him was abundantly clear, and the ingenuity of advocacy though it might have prolonged the investiga tion, could not possibly have altered the re sult. Another point for observation is offered by the career of HARDWICK—his friend for three and twenty years, and now his co-mate in the dreary sentence of penal banishment, or forced labour for life. According to this man's evidence, he, at an early period, " left his country for his country's good." This was in the palmy days of the transportation system. Released on a colonial ticket-of-leave, Mr. HARDWICK soon made his way to Hobart Town, and, from the first moment of his com plete liberation, appears to have been in the constant habit of revisiting his old pals and his old haunts in England, for purpoma which the largest charity can hardly permit us to regard as consistent with strict morality. Oa the last of those occasions he came duly provided with a genuine bill for 2001. accepted by KENNARD and Co., and with several blank forms of acceptance on the same firm, which he hastened to got filled up by the experienced hand of the master forger—his old friend " Um the Penman." Ono of the most graphic portions of the evidence at the Central Criminal Court relates to the presentation of one out of this aeries of forged bills. " JEN the Penman," emboldened by long im punity and uninterrupted success, had tried a more daring stroke than usual. He had tilled up one of KENNARD and Co.'s blank bills for no less a sum than 1,0001. A victim had been provided by " the sender," ANDERSON, for the purpose of getting cash for this bill. The stake was large, and the messenger's honesty was accordingly first tried by sending him to get change for a 20/. note. This test having been satisfactorily complied with, ho was despatched on the more important errand. AT WELL redo on the top of the same omnibus that car ried him to the City. SAWARD lurked in a neigh bouring chop-house. HARDWICK followed him into the bank. The bill was presented. " I saw," says HARDWICK," the clerk takeout the notes and gold ; he was just going to hand them to CLEMENTS (the mes senger) whena sudden thought seemed to strike him, and he looked at the bill again, and returned the notes to the till, and the messenger and the bill were detained." The excitement of chicken bawd, the Derby, or the St. Leger, can hardly beat this. When the clerk was asked what bad excited his suspicion, his answer was somewhat disparaging to " JED the Penman." "The first part of the signs ture was very much like the genuine one, but the latter was not so good. It was also," he went on to say, "required to be paid in 1001. gold, eight 601. notes, and' five for 1001., and this struck him as being rather an extraordinary mode for a pri vate person to receive such an amount." HARD wick' profited by the lesson. 'When he next went on a similar errand—and he had the hardihood very soon to go again—he took care to divert the attention of the clerk from the cheque which Mr. ANDERsoN's messenger had just presented, by making some very particular inquiries of him about a dishonoured bill. This succeeded, and 410/. were duly paid in notes and coin across the counter. ; Whatever else may be said of Mr. HARDWICK, it must bo confessed that his career bears a striking r testimony to the efficacy of transportation beyond the seas as a final mode of getting rid of a dangerous criminal A singular illustration of the ascendancy of "Jell the Penman" over his png, and of the means by which he had obtained and kept it, was supplied by a letter discovered on HARDWICK, and which was one of the principal means of securing a conviction against the arch-forger. HARDWICK bad gone down to Yar mouth, under the name of lines RALPH. "Jew the Penman, in the name of WHITNEY," paid in a forged bill at BARCLAY'S for 2001., the proceeds to be remitted to Yarmouth; but he had omitted to add, "to the order of J. ltALeu." BARCLAY'S, of course, would only pay the proceeds to the order of : the only name they knew in the transaction. Here upon "Jew the Penman" writes as follows: Now I eensidenxl the matter seriatim yesterday, and you must do this Morally, just as I state it. Oo to o.'s (G miners), see the paying-in noes—.lnd, yen must see it; state you have written to Mr. Whitney, and be will rectify it at Mucky's, and you will all upon them spin In a day or two. Come up directly ; go to B.'s (Barclay's), write a fresh note for them to send to O.'s, sad then return and you will get tho malt. l'ray do not more Author in other matters until this is arranged. I beg of you not to do no. I eau scs through a brick wall sometimes. I see through ma now; be guided by me, fur I am generally swum by caution. " Generally," but, luckily, not always ; in this very instance, the act of writing to HARDWICK was a fatal mistake. HARDWICK was arrested before the letter reached him ; the letter itself was seized, and, combined with other pieces of corroborative evidence, at length put into the hands of the police the means of proving, by legal evidence, what they had long known as a matter of fact—the guilt of Jmaes TOWNSUESD SAWARD, the managing director of the n j ' t stock company of associated Lrandon forgers. joint life, and a sordid doom. Who would live till 68 in the practice of forgery., in order to spend the remnant of his days in forced 'tabour as a convict? The self-denial evinced by the electors of the City of London, in their struggle for the rights of their Jewish fellow-subjects, i s most honourable to them. It is with sincere pleasure, though without the least surprise, that we learn the determination of the supporters of Baron Rothschild to bring him forward as a candidate at the general election, and their well-grounded confidence in the certainty of his success. The Baron himself is resolute to fight the good fight to the last. Such perseverance is sure ultimately to command victory. When the just claims of the Jewish community are recognised by the Legislature—and that event cannot uow ho far distant—it will be mainly to the citizens of London that the gratitude of the friends of civil and religious liberty, for this good service will be due. We learn with sincere pleasure that there is a movement at Bradford, with a view to bringing General Peyronet Thompson forward at the im pending election. The ability, accomplishments, uncompromising integrity, and approved good err vices of the Ocneral,entitle him to the best wishes of every true reformer, and the active assistance of every reformer who can do anything to promote his success.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. TILE ANC] TREATY. The Paris correspondent of the Intljpenclance Beige publishes the following as the chief points of the Anglo-Persian treaty just signed at Paris: I. The ',hob of the Persia; territory which is or might be occupied by the English troops up to the proclamation of peace is those parts is to be completely evacuated by the Eagbab. I. Persia recordins the independence of Affghaniatan— that is to sty, Perils takes the solemn engagement not to in terfere any mew in the affairs of Affghenidan. 111. Rend is restored to its independence. That province will hineefordi he pruned by its native rulers. IV. Renewal of the treaty of commerce concluded between Persia and England. England will henceforth be treated in the Persian empire on the footing of the most favoured nation; Persia equally so in the British empire. V. England renounces henceforth affording protection to Persists subjects. VI. Mr. Murray, the British minister who resided at Teheran berme the war, will return to Teheran, where he will be received with peat honours by the Persian govern meat. EVACUATION OF GREECE. Telegraphic advices from Athens, dated this day week, announce the complete evacuation of Greece by the English and French troops. The Constantinople journals publish a wild report of the arrival of " 3,000 Russians, under Abd-ul- Nadir," at Tabriz. These troops, it is pretended, were on their march to the southern province of Fars, to oppose the British. The Austrian papers report this movement as the march of an ordinary brigade of national infantry. CHINA. The Monitewr of this day publishes despatches from Hong Kong to the 14th of January. An in surrection at Hong Kong was feared. Sir J. Bow ring hod made arrangements with Admiral Guerin, the French naval commander, and sufficient pre cautions had been taken to put down, in case of need, any such movement. It seems that this attitude of the French is due to instructions received by them by the last mail. France and England had concerted, before knowing the events of Canton, to obtain from the Chinese government a recision of the treaties which are about to expire, and the English and French re presentatives received despatches prescribing the joint and identical conduct which they would observe to attain this object. They were authorised to lend each other support and aid in all eventualities. —Post. Mora the Maw'weer Guardian of this day.) We have received information that intelligence, believed to be authentic, yesterday reached London, to the effect that the Emperor of China had recalled Governor Ych from Canton. It is added that the Emperor had expressed a desire to be on friendly terms with the English, and had despatched an otllcer to replace Yeh. We are unable to vouch for the correctness of this important intelligence, but we may observe that credit is attached to it by persons who arc usually well informed. UNITED STATES.

Clifford was comaszated titular Bishop of Clifton by the Pope, and we might have added that as this new bishop is a son of the present Lord Clifford, a member of the Muse of Peers, it is not impossible that we may yet see a Bowan catholic prelate sitting and voting in that house aide by aide with our English bishops.

THE GENERAL ELECTION. DrvoNaninz.—We read in the if estent Times —"Dissatisfaction is expressed in Exeter against Sir John Duckworth. There was a conservative meeting yesterday in favour of Mr. Gard, of Rougeinont, who is very popular with the conservative tradesmen. Some dissatisfaction has been expremod at Tomes at the absence of Mr. Mills, its liberal representative, from the division on Locke King's motion for leave to bring in a bill to establish a ten-pound county franchise. We have much pleaeure in stating that Mr. Mille was aiding the good cause at the Kent election. By his influence and cautions he obtained se . meal votes for the liberal candidate; and be never imagined that Lard Palmerston would ocelot the into Auction of so just and moderate a measure. We shall have an election at Exeter. It behoves the liberals to be active at once. Plymouth, wo are glad to see, will got rid of Mr. Roundel] Palmer, and return two liberals. We cannot look for much other beneficial change in the county. North Devon has two members who are getting pest senato rial labour. Mr. Buck, it is said, can never go up to parlia , inset again; and Sir Thomee Acland, who is 70 years old, experiences the itifirraities incidental to that advanced period of life. The tones talk, we hear, of bringing Sir Staf ford Northcote forward fur North Devon, in the room of Mr. Buck, as a alight compliment le Mr. Gladstone in return for the services rendered by that able casuist, and in token of their peace with the Peelites. In South Devon, Sir John Buller end Mr. Palk will, of course, be returned without op position,—the county is entirely in the hands of the landlords. Dartmouth may, perhaps, wrestle against Sir Henry Scale's coarse-minded ascendancy—but in no other part of the county do wo see any likelihood of change." PLY 3101.711 AND DEVONPORT.—The liberal com mittee appointed in Plymouth the other day will assemble this evening, to arrange for a meeting of the liberal party. There is a strong desire that Plymouth may in future be re presented by a commercial man, and there can be no reason why we should not have united in the same person, along with Mr. Collier, a thorough liberal a. well as a man of business. The liberal committee at Devonport are on the alert, and are ready for action—as they always are. The tones were very excited yesterday. General Berkeley will have to retire into private life, and some ono is wanted to take hie place, who will submit to be bled freely. Where is Maxwell? A few days will develop the mystery.—Plymouth Journal. NEW WINDttO/I.—Committee-roomy Ure being engaged, and some of the old electioneering agents already retained. The present members, Mr. Grenfell and Mr. Sampson Ricardo (Liberals), will again come forward, and are sanguine of success, although other members are in the field. Mr. Hope will again present himself, and a deputa tion is about to wait on Mr. Roberto, the banker, who is living at St.Leonarde, near Windsor, requesting that gen tleman also to come forward. Mr. Arthur 'Vansittert, who was defeated in a late contest for the borough, has brought forward hie brother, Mr. William Vaneittart, of 88, St. J atues's-street, London, wno has already issued his circular to the electors. _ _ - C.tmuninGE.—Colonel Adair and Mr. Mowatt will present thetuelves again se candidates for the represen tation of this borough. HERTFORDNIIIRE AND HERTFORD.—The Hertford Nan oery states that three liberal candidates, " gentlemen iII whom the county will be disposed to place the unmet confi dence," will shortly claim the suffragist of the electors. The same paper publishes a letter from Mr. Chambers, explain ing his rt.xwma for voting against Mr. Locke King's motion. BRISTOL.—Actice meaanres are being taken to secure the return of the present members (Messrs. H. Berkeley and H. G. Langton). The opposition party here, which is of tho mane heterogeneous character as the recent majority, are neither united in action nor numerically strong, and will have some difficulty in *electing a candi date whose p ditient professions would be sufficiently cha meleon-like to ceatro say large amount of suffrages from the opposition electrs. Messrs. Berkeley and Langton are cspected to attend a public meeting to be held here on Tues day next. Icontstat, b.—No meetings have yet been held by either party in this city, and there appears to be some expcvtatiou in Norwich that a compromise will tako place, and that the pi °sent membera, Sir S. Bignold and Mr. E. Warner, will be re-elected. The name of Mr. Edwin Q.C., has, however, been mentioned as a liberal can didate, and if the hon. and learned gentleman mines forward the city will be plunged into a bitter contest. Sir S. Bignold, the present conservative member, possess" great local influ ence. At King's Lynn there will in all probability be no op position to the re-election of Lord Stanley (conservative), and Mr. J. If. Gurney (liberal). For the close borough of Thetford the Hon. Francis Baring and the Earl of Easton will no doubt be re-elected. In East Norfolk there has been some talk of bringing forward Major-General Windham on the liberal interest in opposition to Mr. H. N. Barroughee, and Sir H. J. Strawy, the present conservative members. In the western division of the county there are at present no symptoms of opposition to the re-election of 1 4 Mr. tire.)
