Evil almost always lies good is always partially hidden. _ to the picture, but the clever writer against our Ifingliak &E riffs nottaken to turn it. It is sad, so doubt, ' may be called the waste of life able women—their extravagance,. their frivolities, their Let of the domestic virtues. One may smile, too, perhaps, with bitterness, at outrageous fashions in dress, and at what seems like the affectation of immodesty. But such fashions and such apparent immodesty do not belong to our age alone ; and even the more serious faults to which we have alluded are pro bably more conspicuous than they are widely spread. A fast woman, like a sensational novel, will always attract the attention of the public. Notoriety can readily be earned by a dash of im propriety, or by the exercise of bad taste. But it does not follow that the stars are extinct because a number of flaring rockets hide them for a moment from our sight, and, notwithstanding the "signs of the times" upon which the Saturday Reviewer has so cleverly dilated, we believe that the great bulk of English women are still as true "to the old " English ideal," as in the days gone by. Sir RICHARD STRILI said finely of a lady of his ac quaintance that to know her was a liberal educa tion. Are there any of us so destitute and so ignorant as to be without the benefit of such teaching I We agree entirely with the Saiwnlay Reviewer when he says that every word of censure flung by men against the women of their own nation is two-edged, and " wounds those who "condemn as much as those who are con " demned." The faults of English girls, and faults no doubt they have as well as follies, are as much our own as theirs. But despite all the shortcomings of the age, we do not believe that society has degenerated, and we see no reason why "the simple and genuine girl " of the past" should be viewed as an extinct animal, to be handed over to some literary OWEN. The ideal of English womanhood does not exist merely in the imagination or the memory ; but the living type may be found still by all who care to seek for it.

Price, to. ed. THE PRINCE OF WALES AND THE ST. PATRICK'S SCHOOLS. Tn. success of last night's festival of the Benevolent Society of St. Patrick culminates in the PRINCE of Witra's hint at • possible residence in Ireland for himself and the PITINCENI. " If," said his Royal Highness, " this visit " should tend to give pleasure to the people of " Ireland, I hope there may be a longer visit " hereafter," and the sanguine spirits present saw in these words a promise to spend a portion of each year in the sister country. Readers of the " Quemes Diary," will remember how the Prince was created Earl of Dublin in acknowledg ment of the enthusiastically loyal receptions given to her Musser by her Irish subjects ; and in earlier days the almost hyperbolic congra tulations which greeted the landing of Gemini IV. tended to prove that the mere pre sence of royalty goes far to remove the soreness due to long standing hardship and misgovernment. Whether or no the Prince of WALTZ meant his words to convey the extent of meaning attributed to them by the gentlemen who cheered so lustily last night, it is certain that if he and the Piuncsse are induced in the future to set aside a portion of their time for Ireland, political and social re formers will find their work greatly assisted. Another remark in the speeches from the chair last night is one upon which we should like to be further enlightened. " A special " feature in the conduct of the schools," remarked the PRINC6, "is that no doctrinal " teaching is permitted. They are entirely " national and non-sectarian schools." If this be the case, the lack of the Roman Catholic element in such assemblages as that of yesterday is remarkable. We have gone through the names of the prelates, the noblemen, the members of parliament, the dignitaries and publicists who were present, and we find them to be all identified with Protestant opinions. Not a single representative man of the Irish Roman Catholics was there, and it would be really useful to know if their absence was accidental, or if it is to be attributed to any alleged grievance against the management of the schools. " The " children are," we were told by the Royal Chairman, "strongly advised to attend the " instructions given by the Ministers of the " religion in which their parents wish them to be " brought up, and they are afforded an oppor " tunity of doing so every week." Is this held not to meet the requirements of the case? and if so, on what grounds I If these schools are really " national and unseetarian," they should com mand the support of all religious persuasions, and it is pussling on a great occasion him yesterday to find the representatives of the religion of the country showing their interest by keeping away.

BRITISH BULB IN INDIA. This morning was published the copy of an im portant dispatch from the government of India, together with some ocarempondenes respecting the British end native systems of government in that 'pantry. In the debate on the Mysore ateesemion, which took plum in the Hews of Commons is May last, Lord Daubers* took occasion to institute • comparison between the two ',stems, and to point out certain defects which appeared to his lordship inherent in the British plan. The subject thus started appeared to the Goveraer-Osseral of se tote resting a character, and there seemed so m Lich to be said on the opposite aide of the question, that his excellency canoed a confidential circular to be axed, calling upon various officers of mark throughout the Indian empire to submit an expression of their respective opinions in the matter; and the correspondence now published is the result. Among the replies which are regarded by the Governor-General and his councillors am specially dewy. ing careful perusal are those of Sir Donald "Mead. Lieu tenant-Governor of the Pcinjaub, and Sir R. Temple, resi dent at Hyderabad. The former rye there can be no doubt whatever that those who have sought British rule are vastly more numerous than those who have abandoned I it, while It may be added with truth that the coercive I measures adopted in some native stake towards intend ing emigrants readers it oftentimes very difficult for those to carry oat their wishes. Another criterion by which some opinion may be formed on the subject is derived from the dissatisfaction which has been expressed by populations that have been transferred from British to native rule in emisequence of alienations of territory. On the other hand, where territory under native rule has bean traneferred to the mown Sir Donald N'Lsod bas sever beard of say symptoms of discontent or dissaiisfeettra baring been evinced by the people " sore melt morMheatba as may have been shown by the military classes sad retelams of marts, where territory hmbeen acquired by ocraquest." Sir Donald expresses his belief that the feeling 'viewed by the bulk of the population on the first assumptioa of their terri tory by the British government has in every instance been one of satisfaction ; and he does not think that any one who really knows India will deny that " the security, both in person and property—the freedom from violence or oppresaions of every kind, the stability of eitab liked order, the encouragements to trade and progress, and facilities for accumulation and utilisation of capital afforded under . British rale, are infinitely preferred by the bulk of the people to the comparative lawlessneee exist ing In the native states," by which the empire under British rule is surrounded. But there is an importer's qualifying clause in Sir Donald IrLeod's despatch. He freely admit; that these results ate attributable to the more or less arbitrary and uncertain character of the native governments, and to the fact that the very presence of the British power relieves them from many of the restraints which existed when they and their subjects were left entirely to themselves, thus rendering some of them more oppressive and more indifferent to their people's welfare than they might otherwise have been ; and Sir Donald believes that if the comparison were made with really well.goverued native states (and there are, he thinks, suck to be found), the comparison might not, in the estimation of the people, be altogether in favour of the British rale, "save is so far as the continuance of just rule in a native state where there are no constitutional guarantees mart ever be dependent on the character of the chief," and therefore wanting in stability. Sir Donald also point. out • few of the more prominent paints in reaping of which the natives of India feel that there has bees a want of sympathy with them—more par ticularly evinced in the abolition of practices obeer nd under Oriental rale; and menget these he instances the abolition of the prectios of eeaferring greats and largesse' to iallaential men for the pertesee of sessertag their attimb- MIA ; the equality in which all chases are regarded in the eyes of the law, which is especially dirtscrieful to the better deems, and the &Howley of °beeline( redress far outraged feelings. We have, in the above ',nowt', only given • memory view of the dimmest, whisk may be yarded Yea of tic mart intermits( as eel ma impor tant of the series.

Chief Justice Chase, who presides, and all the senators took an oath to do President Johnson impartial justice. Senator Hendrick, a democrat, objected to Mr. Wade having a voice in the trial, on the ground th►t he was directly interested in the result. After • debate the objection was withdrawn, and Mr. Wade was sworn. The managers of the impeachment in the House of Representatives formally demanded that Presi dent Johnson should put in an appearance. The Senate, in response, ordered the President to be summoned to appear on the 13th March, until when the court adjourned. The House authorised the impeachment managers to summon witnesses, administer oaths, and take testimony. The Maryland Republican Convention have en dorsed General Grant for the presidency. The Maryland Legislature have elected General George Vickers, a democrat, as United States senator, to succeed Mr. Thomas, who was recently rejected by the Senate. The Virginia Convention have adopted an ordi nance didranchiaing all who gave aid to the rebellion. The town elections in Maine show large demo cratic gains.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAR. 18. OUR ZYGLISH GIRL& IT is a common fault of vivacious mikes to twatreat the morals of the age in which they live with some dateless period of Arcadian simplicity. They lament our present degeneracy and exhibit a pretty picture of the faith and purity of former days. Unfortunately the picture lacks the ele ment of truth, or if true at all is only true par 'tally. Poets are especially prone to this vice of looking backward, but then poets have a license which we do not so wil lingly accord to prose writers and to journalists. For a long time past, as our readers know, the itiotnnifot Reimr has deplored in no measured lan allege, the state of female society is England. We have been told again and again that the fashion able young lady of the pement day is " fast " in mmners and in conversel ion, that she talks slang, dresses like the demi-anode, is bold in the presence of our sex, and is so m-travagant that a man of good innse and limited means is compelled in self defonce to decline matrimony and find his solace at a club. An article in the current number of the lieriew hasps once mare upon this theme. Time was, says, he writer, when the stereotyped phrase, " a fair young English girl," meant the ideal of womanhood, when we thought we had in her "the pick of 4 ‘ creation," when she was content to be what Goo sad Nature had made her. That was in the rid time, but now the patters is changed, and the " girl of the period" is said to have a vitiated taste, is sacrifice decency or cleanliness, to wear false hair and to paint her shin, and in short to assimilate as nearly as possible " to a class of " women whom we must not cell by their proper "or improper name." A tenable charge this. Heaven help us if it be true. But we should like to ask trim, " the simple and genuine girl of " the past, with her tender little ways, and " pretty bashful modesties," is supposed to have flourished is our land. Was it in some far-distant age celebrated by ballad mongers or romance writers, or within a period of history with which we are tolerably familiar ? How far back does the writer go for this bright picture ?—centuries or decades Not, we suppose, to the period of the Restoration, when virtue was deemed a weakness—when ladies of good breeding, like Mrs. Parrs, found amusement in the cruelties of the bear-garden, and laughed with masks on at indecent plays. Or does he seek for his ideal girl in the reigns of Wit.tiam and of ANNE, when ladies were certainly not content to be what GOD had made them, but used powders and paint, wore patches and hoops, when almost all women were ignorant, and many were openly licentious Or shall we come down to the reigns of the Gamma and seek for "the fair English girl of " the peat " in the century which those famous specimens of royalty have made illustrious or notorious ? Even then a young lady was scarcely, to quote a phrase of the reviewer's, " the reel " thing." In those days modest young women were not ashamed to read Mrs. Barnes novels ; Piton's poems were to be found on their dressing tables, they frequented Ranelagh, they amused themselves with lotteries, and assuredly they were even less like what GOD and nature had made them than during the recent rage for crinolines, and for those hideous °awesome*. called chignons. Never, probably, was the fashion of female dress more artificial than in the middle of last century, when the ladies built up their hair into a lofty tower, until the bead with its adjuncts " came," as Lord Mason ob serves, "to be almost a fourth Cl the whole fi gure .1) The truth is that, as in put was so also in ow own, folly and pretension are more weapiesoes than modesty and merit.

One of the strangest illustrations of morbid fancy we have of late en countered is recorded in our Paris contemporaries of yesterday. It appears that on Monday last there died in that city a Mr. V., who was an extensive property owner in the quarter of the Madeleine. Mr. V. was born in 1777 in the neighbourhood of Melon, and on the day of his birth an oak vas plaited in the garden of his father's house, which bad grown up • very beautiful true. Last year Mr. V., who had attained his 90th year, imagined that his hour was come, and he made a will, in which he enjoined upon his heirs that they should bury him at the foot of the coteval oak. He did not die. however, as soon se he expected, and fearing lest the public authorities would not allow his body to be buried as he desired, in his will, he ordered the tree to be cut down. He had made from it a splendidly ornamented coffin, which he kept in his bed-room. It was furnished with a mattress, fine sheets, and pillows. For some months pest be was accustomed to speed tke night in tisis "living tomb," and at last was found dead there on Monday morning. Ms. V. carried his taste for the lugubrious even beyond his coffin. The room in which he used to labour was full of skeletons, skulls, (newel inscriptions, pictures representing carpels, cemeteries, hangings, murders carnage, the Deluge, and a variety of similar aososa. He was, moreover, the solitary occupant o f thi s room, for no member of the family had the courage ever to enter it. The Emperor Crum.= V., fa the nionastery et SI.

THE ALLEGED POISONING CASE. (nom ous owx comsposmorr.) PARIS, TuesnAr EVIIIIING. At Niort, on Monday, Dr. Morin, aged 67, a physician of Saint-Loup, gave evidence in conflict with that of the principal medical witness for: the prosecution, Dr. Ganne. He agreed with the latter that M. Texier had been poisoned, but was of opinion that the poison had not been adminis tered continuously in small doses, which was the theory of the indictment, but all at once, and somewhere about the date of August 1, only ten days before his death. He came to this conclusion from the state of the liver, in which he found no trace of arsenic acid, and therefore he inferred that the poisoning could not have been chronic. He also remarked a number of worms in the liver, which was to him further proof that thore could have been no arsenic in it, because worms could not live in contact with arsenic. He said that if Dr. Ganne believed his patient was suffering from the systematic adminis tration of slow doses of poison he ought to have administered antidotes immediately. Dr. Ganne, in reply to this witness, said he would not condescend to answer insinuations which were "as ridiculous as odious." He had great respect for the professional knowledge of Dr. Morin, but he was mistaken in this instance. Dr. Morin had supposed that M. Texier had a cancer, but his obesity should have taught them better, for it was well known that cancer always induced leanness. As to the administration of antidotes-- the important thing was to introduce nothing into the stomach which might cause confusion at a port mortal' examination. (This extraordinary opinion produced laughter and great excitement, and pro- voked from Dr. Morin the obvious observation that • medical man's first care should be to save his client.) He had, however, exhibited an tidotes, and such as were prescribed by all standard authors. Albumen was a very precious antidote. He had at first given this, being under the impres sion that the patient was suffering from some mer curial salt. In this opinion he might have been mistaken. But albumen was also a good antidote against arsenic. He had further administered eggs almost raw, soda water, and Vichy water, which were all antidotes. As to the worms in the liver, they resulted from 'arm deposited in hot weather, while the post mortem was going on in the open air, and he was fortified by the opinion of Professor Malapert, that worms might perfectly well live in the liver, unless the whole of it were saturated with arsenic. Mdlle. Zuginielisssalle, aged 77, governess to the children of the prisoner, Madame Texier, deposed that Pierre Blanchard, a messenger, sent by Dr. Game to a chemist at Q•rthenay to get some medicine, told her that when he brought it back Dr. Gann° drew the cork, put his finger into the bottle, paired it into his mouth, and then said, " You see I do not poison my patients," to which observa tion Blanchard replied, " You have not taken enough to do yourself any harm." This hearsay evidence was confirmed by Blanchard directly, but two other witnesses, who said they were l iniment at the interview referred to, denied that Blanchard said anything of the kind. The trial was again adjourned, and is not expected to be over till Thinelay.

Anthony John Plow, 8.A., vicar of Todmorden, and his infant child (says the Lads Illetrerry) took place yesterday morning at the pariah church. The weather was very boisterous, showers of hall and rain falling. Notwithstanding, many hundreds of per. sons aseambled in the churchyard and the roads adjoining. The funeral was fixed to take place at 10 o'clock. Leo( before that hour persons began to assemble both in the vicinity of the church and in the church, which wad crowded. The choir was augmented by members of the Rochdale parish church choir. They met in the school, and shortly after 10 o'clock marched to the church, headed by the churchwardens. At the same time the corpse of the departed gentleman was borne from the vicarage on the shoulders of four men. The coffin wu of oak, and was covered by a of peach, ornamented with yellow and scarlet. the corpse was a number of clergymen of the district an adjacent towns, all in sue. phase, and three clergymen walked on each side of the bier. The body of the infant was carried by four boys of the choir in surplices, and came just after that of the rev. gentleman. Following the bodies were the mourners, embracing representatives of the familia of both Mr. and Mrs. Plow. After these came a long procession of teachers and scholars of the Sunday schools, and many of the congregation. We noticed also in the procession some of the dissenting ministers of the town, and in the church were many clergy and dissenting ministers who did not join in the procession. At the church gates the mournful procession was met by the officiating ministers and the choir. The Rev. Ralph Blakelock, curate, read the opening portions of the burial service, end then the choir sang, "Brief life is here our portion." The coffins were borne to the front of the coin. amnion table, and there reeled, while the service was cost tinned. The choir chanted the 90th Psalm, and the Rev. Dr. Molesworth, vicar of Rochdale, read the lesson. The choir then sang the hymn commencing, " Brother rest, thy toils are over," after which the sacrament of the Lord's supper was administered to the cler"y and mourners. The Rev. Mr. Page, of Liverpool, and the Rev. H. A. Plow (father of the deceased gentleman) officiated. The coffins were afterwards borne to the grave. Mr. W. Greenwood presided at the organ, and while the sloe was leaving the church played "The Dead 41Zr" At the grave side the service wee conducted by the Rev. Mr. Page and others. The hymn, "Jesus lives ;no longer now," concluded the service. While the mourners were standing round the grave, a pitiless shower of hail and rain came on, and but few heard the prayers, owing to the noise made by the hailstones falling on the hundreds of umbrellas. The number of persons assembled to witness the funeral was very 19 end must have been con. alterably over 2,000. The of the surrounding perishes, as we have before =, mustered in large numbers to show their respect for the departedclergymes there were some thirty of them took part in the prooesnon and service. As a mark of respect for Mr. Plow, the tradesman*, the town agreed to close their shops from 10 to 12 o'clock. There was a strong force of Lancashire end Yorkshire pollee-odicors prevent. The vault is at the east end of the church, near the place where the young woman was buried who was murdered the same night that Mr. Plow received the *arias which caused his death. Mrs. Plow is mach better, and was able to leave her bed yesterday monde,. • f • 1 P MP AL iiierid
