LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 16. FRENCH AND ENGLISH FASHIONS. Pious and London are now so near—distance in these times being counted like the German posting-stages, by hours—that the fashions of the French capital—always the Queen of Fashion— are transported to the British shop window with an almost electric rapidity. Nor does this rapid transmission of tastes and modes be tween the neighbouring countries—so near and yet so far—apply to tke mysteries of the toilette only. It is perceptible even in that most obdurate department of British industry and prejudice, the kitchen; and is especially conspicuous on the stage, and, indeed, in all our places of public amusement. The misfortune is that each country is apt to borrow from the other the worst instead of the beet of its peculiarities.. To be sure, the attempt to convert our cobs and cabhorees into " roast and boiled" rebelled too strongly against the honest British love of animated horseflesh to be crammed down our throats in the disguise of curiously denominated kickahaws. But our taverns are being turned into " restaurants," and at all our dining-houses a very greasy and hideous imitation of the French entree is daily perpetrated under our noses, and the good old name of " side dishes " (awful combi nations !) survives only in the depths of the country. Our Rotten-row riders are not likely to take to the velocipedes which, in the Bois de Bou logne, are found to be so susceptible of a very liberal and pronounced afternoon undress. But as our lively neighbours have revived and given a brilliancy and a coquetry all their own to these absurd machines, which may still be seen sometimes near our provincial towns ridden by ahopboys, so we, or rather our theatres and music halls, have in deference to a rising demand introduced into the regular ballet, a French sanatory performance, which i n Paris is only known to the very light foot and very irregular horse of the casinos and the dancing gardens. There is no harm in this, except for those who seek and who find harm wherever they go. Every now and then we have a good wholesome outburst of hype:rimy, and vindicate the character of a pre eminently moral nation ; as when the real &code Ihodiesse de Oireistein come over to us and teaches in how to combine the wit and frolic of look and giniar• with • certain reserve, and lath- THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER cater, by the slightest motion of the arm or itiqL the frontier line between fan and elleoning. 7 But perhaps it is in the sore odder tions of our theatres that the fashions of great cities, the capital of of is cookery and the toilette—and Vie mortal of am merce—ust and react upon each other most rapidly and remarkably now-a-days. Last week we on this side of the Channel were all crowing loudly over an astounding fact, very frankly and handsomely acknowledged, however, on the other side of the water. This was the production at a Paris theatre of a drama of which the principal situation was actually taken from the English ! It would not, we dare gay, be very difficult for anyone tolerably familiar with theatrical history in both oonatries to show that Frisch dramatists, who can certainly afford to avow the souroce of their plots, have not now for the first time derived at least suggestions from English literature. There has never been that shameless systematic pillage by French dra matic writers from the brains and pens of their foreign brethren, in which our so-called " dramatic " authors" so long indulged without apparently being conscious of the potty infamy of their trade. Happily of late years there has been just enough of international copyright legis lation to compel our dramatic authors to plead guilty to the real parentage of their" original adap " tations ;" and when a French version of Ns Thoroughfare was produced, and ran more than a hundred nights, at the Vaudeville, there was some consolation in the thought that this success of English imagination and in vention had earned the right of hospitality. Other changes are taking place in the dramatic tortes and sympathies of Paris audiences, to which we may find immediate analogies in London. In France five act tragedies are became impossible ; they are scarcely pomade in London, except perhaps on the &array side of the Thaws. In Pariathe =dimness are getting *odor sensational pieces ; among other resione perhaps beelines sensa tional pieces, which depend on the some painter, the machinist, and the ballet master. very soon exhaust their sensational capabilities. What may be called the drama of common sense and ordinary social life is coming again into favour in France, and unites we are greatly mistaken we see symptoms of the same wholesome change in London. At more than one of our metropolitan theatres a genuine swans is now being achieved by good act ing—we mean the good acting of a whole company, ores the French say, the ewe/able—and by the at tractions of a lively and facile, if not always very brilliant or witty dialogue. There are, however, to a critical eye two or three obvious fellatio' into which our dramatists and actors are running in the laudable desire to escape from the conventionali ties of a past era. Our dramatists are, it seems to us, a little too disposed to forget that in London as in Paris, in these days, • considerable proportion of the playgoing public now consists of people from the country—people of compara tively unsophisticated minds, to whom the slang of the side scenes and the jargon of very small literary celebrities is not the vulgar tongue, but sheer gibberish. And the actors, we mean the new quiet school of gentlemen of still life, who have learnt (among other accomplishments) to enter a drawing-room with their hats off, are a little too disposed to mistake a drawling languid air, an absence of rant and noise, easy familiarity with chairs and tables, and the frequent introduction of a pipe or a cigar, as sufficient in themselves to a perfect presenta tion of the manners and customs of society, the feelings and emotions of human nature, and the rra iBClllblarve of human life. THE RED INDIANS AND THE MAORIES. THAT what we are accustomed to call the " inferior races " must die out before the progress of the white man is, it would seem, inevitable. The advance of the one is the destruction of the other, and there is not a more melancholy chapter in the history of colonisation than that which records the vain efforts of the Aborigines to resist the encroachments of the civilised usurper. In past years the most frightful atrocities were committed on native tribes by the English, the Americans, and the Dutch, who endeavoured to hasten the process of extermination by cruelty and bloodshed. In the present day deliberate cruelty is extremely rare ; nevertheless, frequent collisions are unavoidable and the destructive process con tinues. A war against the Indians is now going on in America, which promises to be bloody and expensive. The Indian question has always been a problem in the United States, and an attempt has been made to solve it by endeavouring to confine the Aborigines within specially reserved territories. But how to keep them there is the difficulty, and: so serious has this difficulty become that General Su= - 11411! considers it should be entrusted to the War Deportment. There are now 300,000 Indians in the states, and as half of these are hostile it is obvious that the Government has no trifling task to accomplish. Already active warfare has com menced, and there is little doubt that the loss of the Indians will be enormous. The mail that has just arrived brings with it an account of the first instalment of sacrifice in this melancholy warfare. General 8111:111DAX has come upon the track of " BrAcir Iffirrris," and he, with 102 of his braves, have already crimsoned with their blood the snows of Manses. A defeat from such foes would be a dire disgrace, but, on the other hand, a victory brings no honour, and if the General follows the Indians to their villages and attacks them in their winter quarters there will probably be consider able slaughter but little fighting. It is expected, indeed, that by the end of spring there will be an end of " the Indiana of the Plains." If an ignoble conflict has been forced upon the Americans in the Western States, it is our lot to be enraged in a dill more unfortunate struggle in New Zealand. More unfortunate, we say, because the Yantis are • much finer race than the Bed Indiums, and it is sad to think that despite the many noble qualities of these people. their truth fuhsess, their courage, their devotion, they also are doomed to fall before the white man. The very suooesses they have met with will assuredly precipitate their destruction. They have defeated the colonists several times in guerilla warfare, and it is acknowledged that in the bush we have no chance against them ; nevertheless, it is obviously impossible that in the long run 00,000 natives can contest successfully with 1110,000 liaglia settlers. But, if the Nudes and the English could live in peace, the former would evesalmally di* out. The extraordinary beentiomenees of the native women, combined with a number of other causes, are rapidly thinning their ranks, and just as the native products of the country are being displaced by English importations, so an Nantes themselves disappearing before the progress of • stranger and a civilised people. We are glad to en that Kr. Drum, who is the most recent, and oninnlY one of the ablest of English travellers in New &shod, considers that, beyond the original an taxation of their country, the natives have re ceived little Wadi°, et our heads.

CIIIATUAIL. Without entering into the mints of the Cretan insur rection, it is apparent, the Post says, that if the power ful states of Christendom saw no just cause for inter ference, it certainly was not the duty of a state like Greece—which, so to speak, only exists on sufferance—to undertake the championship of the disaffected Candiotes. If Greece had been compelled to rely upon herself, and on such alliances as her respect for international obligations might justify her in the expectation that she could readily form, Europe would have heard nothing of this difference between the Turkish and Hellenic governments, and the Sultan would have been enabled long since to re-establish satisfactory relations with his subject. in Crete. This being so the policy of maintaining such a protectorate as at present exists becomes a very open question. If Greece would continue to retain her autonomy she must manifest that respect for the rights of her neighbour which is dictated by the fundamental principles of international law. The liter insists that it is the duty of Great Britain to treat both Turkey and Greece precisely as she would the most powerful empires, and to guard herself from dicta ting to either as much as she would from interfering with the domestic concerns of France or the interior ad ministration of Russia. The Star calls for the papers which will show what the attitude of this country has been and is likely to be for the future. the Cermet. WINDSOR CASTLE, Dao. IS.

The telegraphic news that Grew* had dispersed the insurrectionary bands, ordered its officers not to take part in the insurrection, and allowed the emigrants to return home if they pleased, not only falls far short of the Turkish ultimatum, but is not even accepted as authentic as far as it goes. The Patrie says expressly, " We only reproduce this despatch under all reserve.' The France hopes rather than expects that the news may be true, and notices a rumour that the Greek reply to the Turkish ultimatum was so insulting that Pho tiades Bey, the Turkish Minister, had left Athens. Omer Pecha is said to have concentrated an army of 60,000 men in Thesesly. The demands, which (even assuming to be true the relatively good news which the France doubts) Greece has refused to comply with are:- Ist. To punish the Greeks who violently opposed the return of the Candiote emigrants. 2nd. To prevent, for the future, the departure of steamers with supplies for the insurrection ; and 3rd, to _ _ . . undertake for the future to sot in aooordance with treaties and the law of nations. On tho whole it is yet probable that the Greek government, so far from fearing a rupture, is de sirous to provoke one, and thinks tho time is come for a general conflagration. I think it pertinent to recall to mind a forgotten paragraph in the Gaulois of Oct. 16 last. That journal, which at the time was a favourite organ for the dissemination of official intellisrenoe, then said: The eternal eastern question is at this moment more threatening than ever, although people go to sleep over it with tbe beedlemnses of the palmate who lin at the foot of Nast Vesuvius. The latest news is that the Ottoman government has sent an energetic despatch to Athens re lative to the troubles of Candi% and that the Greek ca binet has aide ano lem energetic reply. Unless we wil fully shut our eyes, it is impossible not to see that grave events are preparing in that quarter, and the man must be insane who does not also see that the ostenible adver saries are but puppets in Ike hands of higher powers► I look upon the above paragraph as a pro phecy which passed unnoticed at the time. The higher powers are now at work, and I think it by no means improbable that the crash which must come at some time, and which naturally will be thought impossible till it doss come, is at hand. Viscount de la Clueronnirtte, the new French minister at Brussels, has made his debut by a check. At his first audience with M. Van der Btichelen, the Minister foe Foreign Affairs, he asked for a customs union with France, and the demand was refused. In order to mark the refusal more strongly, the minister took occasion to declare in the Chamber of Deputies the next day that no change would be made in the laws regulating the Belgian customs. At the Bourse the of Greece were read well at first, and Bente, which yester day closed at 71fr. 171 c., rose to 71fr. 320. ; but a gloomy feeling prevailed later, and the closing prices were 71fr. 100., both for cash and account. There was little change in other seourities. ♦ marriage has just beea celebrated at Bonen Uterus two dwarfs, IL Argot, well known for hie per. formasess in the Berm Albers, and MUM Onaniont, a sempstrem even sesallsr then her husband.
