IL aft LONDON; MONDAY, DEC 27. The opponent. of Rehm, unwilling to deny the right of the working "gasses to the saffrage, take refuge in the weak and make question, Cui bone f What is the rod of granting this right, of what poseible use can it be to these classes ? This may fairly be answered by asking the wider question— NV hat is the good of doing an sot of mere jostles at all ? Whatever is the nse of granting rights to those who fairly claim them ? If the wrongs are convenient and venerable why not perpetuate them If the rights have only truth and justice to recom mend them, and involve at the same time a good deal of disturbance and change, why not continue to refuse them ? Mr. BRIGHT, however, in his Glasgow speech gives a more direct and practical reply to the sceptical inquiry of hostile critics. To the question, Cmi fano? he answers reasonably enough, that thesuffrage, by inaressing their self-respect, will be a powerful instrument for the elevation of the working dame. It will increase their motives to exertion, and stimu late them in their efforts towards self-improvement. It will implant within them that feeling of citizen ship which in the germ of public virtue. For, without a fair measure of political freedom and responsibility, there is but little scope or stimulus for the display of higher patriotism. The feeling of public reeponeibility awakens a sense of public duty, and stimulates its possessor to discharge it in the most honourable and efficient manner. Duties are the levees of virtues. The Suffrage, by bestowing political power, will tend directly to develop public virtues. Self-reaped, too, is the prolific source of private virtues, each as temperance, frugality, in dustry, and the like ; and the Enfranchisement of the Working Claines will thus powerfully contri bute to their social elevation. One of the most powerful motives to self-respect is the respect of others, and the respect of others is naturally increased by the multiplication of our public right , and privileges. On the other hand, the continued withholding of these rights not only deprives the claimants of the public respect to which they are fairly entitled, bat tends to sink them in their own esteem. Those who are forcibly kept in an inferior position, social or political, become so far degraded in mind and character. Their nature, " like the " dyer's hand, becomes subdued to what it works in." That adult vassalage of any kind must exert some such injurious influence, reflection naturally suggest', and experience abundantly coofirme. AU this, however, the firms, in these its last days of opposition to Reform, ends it necessary to deny. While allowing that to i °cream the self-respect of the working clamed " would undoubtedly be a great eel " lateral advantage," it more than questions whether I the franchise would have any such effect. The possession of the Suffrage could have " no perceptible " effect in elevating lUD view, or reforming his con " dart. Ass body, they do not wont it; and it would " do them no good if they got it." This is erectly the kind of argument that was need a quarter of a cen tury age in the Anti .Slavery agitation. The oppo- Bente of the movement, who professed to be intimately acquainted with the wants and wishes of the metronome well as with what was really bust for them, loudly demanded of the anti-slavery re formsen—What was the use of emancipation ? The slaves did not want it. They had food and alethes, regular occupation, and convenient dwellings. They were quite happy and contented. What. use could their liberty be to them' It wee a nominal blessing that would probably do them far more harm than good. Thiry were, in short, an inferior race, to whom freedom would be a perilous good; who might in man five inetaasie perhaps turn it to good account, hut whis,se a body, ware far better and happier without it. It mine sever to ham oimarred to these reasoning that freedom is aseessary to develop the nobler ele ments of character; that systematic oppremion inevitably degrades, sod that I. this way slavery ends by modaeing the slavish mind it quotes In its own defence. We do not, of DeDill• mom to dmw any parallel between the Degrees in the West la dies and the working claims in ear own country. We limply say that the arguments agaimt the poresnal emseelpation of the Degrees and them ageing the Whim! emaneipatioa of the working glares in ef precisely the seas kind, and of pee. sisaly nail worth. The working Gleams of this esestry enjoys large amount of personal, social, sad indastriel hoedown ; bet their emancipation is not semplete. They WO in a mate of political subjee- Sim, whisk enemies, an injerioes Indurate on their" ehronster, and free which they have the stmagest claim he be heed. N. one Indeed Is bald smash to deny these cleima. The emeries sf Reform talk, it Is true, in a mien sad destamatory key Moat destroying the Ceemeita. tioa ; bat the right of every frames to the she is quite as old es the Ceastitation. The only bars to the practical enjoyment of this right that have ever hem feeveally rosegaieed am pauperism and ignor. mos. These, however, were so far diminished a quarter of a century ago, that the supporters of the last Reform Bill recognised the right of the working clams to the suffrage, only they oecusealled patience I and moderation in urging it. It would be impossible, they argued, to secure all at cam ; bat if the work ing clams would unite in a ooss1•oa effort to obtain the franchise for the great body of the middle climes, the reformed parliament would accomplish the rest. The enfranchisement of the lower class, it was said, would speedily follow that of the one im mediately above it. But if the working classes, as a body, were proeperom and intelligent enough to be entrusted with the franchise thirty yean ago, what must be the added strength of their claim today? They are now almost as much above themselves of that era as they were then below the middle classes. Almost every year since the passing of the Reform Bill has witnessed some fresh effort in the direction of popular education and commer cial Reform. It has been a period prolific beyond all precedent in measure, of social and commercial improvement. By the influence of emigration on the one hand, and the repeal of the Corn Laws on the other, the burden of pauperism has been lifted from the land ; so that, in spite of the enormous drain of a European war, we me in a state of unpa ralleled prosperity. Through the vigorous im pulse given to national education, elemen tary schools have been multiplied in every part of the country, and evening classes organised in all the great centres of industry While the area of direct education has thus been ex tended, the means of indirect education have multi plied a thousand-fold. Within this period have Teen the Mechanieal and Chemic►l Invention that characterise the age; Railways, Steam Navigation, Electric Telegraphs, Cheap Literature, and the Penny Post. The educational influence of these new and powerful agencies can scarcely be over rated. Under their wide and effectual teaching Chartism hail collapsed, the occupation of the pro fessional demagogue is gone. It is no longer pos sible for him to gratify his spleen, his vanity, or his ambition, at the expense of truth and justice, by highly wrought appeels to the ignorance and pas sions of the working climes. They are now able to read sadjudge for themselves, and would only smile with scornful incredelity at the terrible stories that were told them, and which they devoutly believed, twenty years ago. The working clause are now far better educated, more intelligent, more prudent, industri ous, and reflective than they were thirty, twenty, or oven ten years ago. Bat the expectation of obtain ing their political rights has been all along a strong stimulus in their career of self-improvement. They have kept stead;ly in view the prospect of obtaining through the suffrage a fair share of political inil n once. Daring these comparatively silent years they have shown how highly they value the suffrage by diligently qualifying themselves for the duties it imposes, instead of noisily clamouring for its imme diate possession. It will never do to tell these men that they do not want the franchise, that it will do them no good, or that however strong aid just their claim it is impossible to give them the poise der which they have so patiently and zealously laboured.

The text was the 65th verse of the 7th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, forming part of the Epistle for St. Stephen's Day which happens to be ooincident with the festival meson of Christmas. " But he, being fall of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfestly into Heaven, and saw the g lory of God and Jesus standing oa the right hand of God." The preacher commenced by bidding the con negation • hearty Christmas welcome.

ANTICIPATION OF THE OVERLAND MAIL We (Times second edition), have recadved, via Trieste, See of papers from Calcutta to the 23rd of November, and from Hong Kong to the 15th of November. We take the following from the Cakutta English man of the 22nd of November : The whole of the intelligence furnished by go vernment to the local press with regard to the ope rations of the army during the last fortnight is con fined to four telegraphic messages—one announcing the capture of the fort of Samree, in Oude, by Brigadier Eveleigh, with the loss of only two Euro peans killed and four wounded; the other inti mating that Madho Singh, the rebel chief of Amethie, has surrendered, and that the fort is now occupied by our troops; a third from the Political Resident at Indore, stating that General Mitchell bad marched to Hoshungabad, that Brigadier Parker's force would arrive there on the Bth, that Lieutenant Kerr boa been obliged to desist from following the rebels into the Chindwaree hills, a large body having been re ported to be crossing the Nerbudda, near Choyer ; and the fourth that Brigadier Eveleigh's column at last attacked 8,000 of the Sunkerpore fugitives, took three guns, and dispersed the enemy with a loss ; and this is actually all the news which has been communicated to the public at a time when it was generally believed that the present favourable , season would be taken advantage of for effecting some great and decisive movement. The realize bon of these expectations is moreover likely to be delayed for some further time, since it has been determined to afford the rebels every possible chance of availing themselves of the proffered amnesty, whilst on the other hand the indisposition of the Commander-in-Chief is not unlikely to be another cause of delay. Letters re wired from the camp mention that many of the rebels and badmashes had surrendered upon the strength of the amnesty promised in her Majesty's proclamation ; but, until the whole of the districts follow the example, the work of pacification will be only a slow one. The great object was not only to distribute copies of the proclamation among the rebels as widely as possible, but also to give them convincing proof of the promise of forgiveness not being a dead letter. The authorities have for that purpose hit upon an original and very efficient plane which is to pardon altogether a number of rebels caught and condemned to death, and then allowing them to go wherever they please, giving them a number of copies of the proclamation for distribution among the rebels. We trust that the result may realise expectation.. In some parts, however, the rebels do not appear to be disposed to surrender, for we have received private intelligence that Brigadier Wetherell, with the Burson field force, on marching against the Fort of Amethie, and expecting to form a junction with the column under Major-General Hope Grant, was attacked by the enemy, who appears to have mustered up suffi cient courage to come out and fight the forces brought to boar against him in detail. The enemy was signally defeated, but the field must have been contested more obstinately than usual, for the casu alties on our side amounted to more than one hundred killed and wounded. "According to the accounts received from all parts of India, the arrangement under which the Queen's authority over India has been ushered in. is very satisfactory, and it is pleasing to learn, that according to all appearances the respectable clue of natives generally receive the official intimation of the change of Government with gratißestion and are partiealarly pleased with the proclamation itself. Addresses to her Majesty are being prepared is se veral places, and there will be no end of loyal pro fessions and good wishes. There are also several among the native princes who, we are told, intend following the example, and her Majesty will, there fore, receive quite a rare collection of autographs, which may serve as an addition to her Majesty's private museum."

The English mail of the 25th of September reached Hong-Bong on the 9th inst., 43 days from London. We have little to add to oar last mall's report of the progress of the Earl of Elgin's nego tiations at Shanghai. It is understood that every thing, so far as the tariff is concerned, is arranged, and reports ran when the mail packet left, that the Oommisaionere would sign the papers as on Monday,l the Bth inst. The buskers eompleted, the Earl of Elgin intended a trip up the Tangtm-kiang, some say as far es Haeltow, the westernmost of the ports premised to us under the new treaty. Trade at Canton has taken a fair start. Since last despatch six vessels have left Wharapos for Louden direct, viz., the Cairngorm, Chieftain, Lalll - Morning Star, Warrior Queen, and Malice*. From Shanghai there bad been no despatch far Ragland for a fortnight, though one ship, the Jubilee, for Louden, left after our last report. Two ships for New York complete the role of tea export theses to present date. From Amoy there has been one vessel for the Cape of Good Hops. Total of tonnage in China at date, 197,926 tons against 197,425 tons of last report. Tariff and trade regulations mpplementary to the new British treaty have been signed. In Canton affairs are progressing steadily; demand fee imports brisk ; Bhanghlie silk, good ; business damp unaltered; prices in teas no change; exchange, es. ed. to ed. Bid. Foochow tea market rather quiet. SINGAPORE, Nov. 23.—Produce in good demand; imports unaltered; freights dull; exchange, is. Ili& to 41.11 P. The following telegram was received th;s after noon by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navi gation Company : - _ "MARSEILLES. Dzc. 27. "The Boxier, with the mile from Calmitta an Odom. arrived at 8 am. this day. si The mails left for Laudon at 10. " No quireatiaa." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (7201 t 0171 0/IN PAILIS, 817NDAT EVINING. I am able to state very confidently that the Court of the Tuileries has within the last two or three days caused Lord Derby's government to be officially informed that in case England should think fit to take any measures to counteract the American policy indicated in certain passages of Mr. Buchanan's speech, she may rely upon the sup port of France "to the utmost extent.* What may be the political value and import of this diplo matic demonstration at the present conjuncture I cannot presume to say ; bat the line forcibly occurs to me—Tinseo Dana°, et does feretstes. At ell events, I trust the necessity may never arise for us to quarrel with our American cousins, and to rely upon Imperial France to aid our cause. I have reason to believe that rumours, long cur rent and often contradicted, of an important change in one of the highest offices in the department of the Minister of the Interior, are now on the eve of realisation. The Russians in Paris, who profess to know the views of their embassy, give out that nothing cer tain is known u to the revolution in Berrie, and that we must wait for further intelligenoe before forming any opinion as to whether Austria is at the bottom of the movement, or what is the import of it. The Potrie announces that the government has postponed sins die the scheme for appointing In spectors of the Prefectures throughout the country. It at the same time expresses a hope on its own part that M. Delangle will be brought to see the necessity for such an institution, which would have the effect of subjecting the prefectures to a control analogous to that which is applied to the departments of the army and finance. In the meanwhile the only reform made in the prefectures is one which is now altogether on the order of the day ; namely, an increase in the salaries of the employee. Every councillor of a prefecture is to receive an additional 500 fr. The Examtner was seized to-day, but most of the other Sunday papers were admitted, although they contained extracts from the report of the Montalem bert trial. The Monitair was not published to-day. An unusual scene occurred at the door, of the Opera House last night. The second bal morgue of the season had been announced for Saturday, De cember 25, and, it being holiday time, a more than usually large number of persons had made arrange ments to go. In the course of the day, however, the government came to the decision that a masked ball on Christmas-day was not a proper thing. The countermand was posted on the door, of the Opera House at about three in the afternoon, but so little was the fact known in Paris generally, that from ten to twelve in the evening carriages were con tinually driving up to the doors and to the Passage de POperaand setting down dominoes, Pierrota, and fancy manners in infinite variety. The dis appointment wan great, and in many in stances loud complaints were uttered. Few of the revellers, however, went home : they distributed themselves for the moat part among the less re nowned ball rooms of the metropolis—such as the Salle St. Castle, Valentino, and the Prado. In October, 1853, Count de Persigny decided that a visa on a foreigner's purport should be good for a year, which is the legal duration of a French pass port, but this regulation was revoked by General Espinuee's circulars of the Ist of March and Bth of April, 1868, which prescribed that foreigners must have their pea/ports visa afresh for every journey. M. Debangle has now given orders that the more liberal rule of 1863 shall be reverted to. A Berlin letter, of December 20, in the D4bage, contains the following: _ _ . The loner which the Queen of Pringle recently wrote from Florence, in the King's name, to M. de Illanteaffil, naturally furnishes matter for *mole commentaries. Per mons in a position to know the contents of the latter say that it is fall of enooraiuma upon IC de Sianteuffel end for the government of which be was the head doting • period of eight years. The Queen, In the name of her royal husband, expresso the deepest regret that in oonsequnoe d his biejeaty's illness Prussia is now deprived of the enlightened coanclls of the late prime minister; in hut the panegyrio upon If. de hisutauffel is so straw that his partisans look upon it as a protest against the order of things established by the regency. The QU1611 . • latter coincides very remarkably with a report of a great Improvement in the Mate of the King's health, both morally and physically. A bulletin signed by the physicians who scoompsnied the King to Italy is banded about at Potsdam, wherein It la stated that the august patient hu not only recovered the use of his speech, bat that the day is probably not far off on which he will be able to rsasesune the roles of power. I consider this letter u unimportant, except so far as it shows the intriguing spirit of the court of the insane monarch. Private accounts from Flo rence, far more authentic than the representations of those who, unfortunately for the country, suc ceeded in postponing the regency long after the King had fallen into a state of hopeless imbecility, state that there is no material improvement in his mental condition. I happen to have painful details proving this, which I refrain from mentioning. The King's return to power would be an immense cala mity, both for Prussia and Europe. But I do not think any such untoward event is seriously to be appre hended. PARIS, SArvIDAT EVINIXO. This being Christmas-day the Bourse and public offices are closed, and there are no evening papers. The Boulevards, owing to the mild and dry weather, are more than usually thronged by holiday folk. The stalls which every year line the whole length of the grand causeway, from the Madeleine to the Bastille, have sprung up in a night uif by enchant ment. There for the next fortnight will be exhi bited the pretty little toys ranging in price from two sous to one or two francs, which are the arcanes of the poor, and which they buy foe their kith and kin with a fervour and faith in the obligations of the mason far more lively than that of the richer classes who frequent the splendid show-moms of Tahan ar Giroux. All the redacteurs of the DEbata, and very many redacteurs of other Paris journals, went to Rvrenx es Thursday to attend the funeral of M. Rigault. At the railway station they were met by a deputa tion from the press of Rouen. The two deputations marched together to the cathedral, when the funeral service was performed by the Bishop of Renzi:. The Prefect of the Ears, the President of the Tri , banal, the Procurnr-Imperial, and the M►yor of the wen, were all present at the ceremony, in order to testify their feeling that the death of M. Rigaalt in Erre= was an occasion of mourning for the locality. M. Saint MaroGirardin, who had the utmost diffi culty in mastering his emotion, pronounced a funeral oration, in the course of which, after dwelling open M. Ritault's youth, great repuration,and sudden and melancholy end, he 'poke of the dreadful blow which his death must be to the young professors of the university, many of whom he saw around the grave, and who had looked upon him a " a friend, a master, and one of the chiefs of their generation." " For us," he continued, " old athletes of the uni- Tersity and the Journal if.. Debate, what a °dimity is it also to we gone from us in a moment him upon who we had reckoned to perpetuate those tradi tions of instruction and disco-vein which are dear to ea. He was one of oar motives for hope in the floors t for I. for cam, hays faith in a future to be created by the labour of honest and iatel ligent meriotioss.• M. d'Ortigse, • personal farad ad M. Rigsalt, who had olio boom Wag j to make a speech, was unable to stifle by sobs, and handed a manuscript to M. Leon Say, by whom it was read. Pursuant to an Evreux cue. tom which dates from 1423, the body was borne to the grave by members of the charitable corporation of the town. M. Ri?ault died at the early age o f 37. He took the highest honours at the normal school in 1844, and after filling the post of professor of rhetoric at Caen and Cherbourg he was appointed tutor to the Duke de Nemours' children, whom he accompanied into exile in 1848. After his return to France, in 1849, he became professor of rhetoric in the College of Louis-le-Grand. His short career in the College of France as professor of Latin eloquence was most brilliant. It will be remembered that ha resigned that position in order to preserve his lite. rary independence, at a time when the government gave private orders to professors to write in th e Revue Coostemporaine, and not in the Revue des Deux Mends,. The affairs of Spain are ever a riddle. COM de Espana has become a proverbial expressive, eigui. Eying a thing not susceptible of being judged of b y the ordinary rules of right reason. The Debate of to-day presumes so far upon the conventional in. scrutability of Spanish politics u to offer to its readers, in one and the same page, two diametri cally opposite opinions as to the position of O'Don nell. In the first leading article M. Alloury tell' us that the last news from Spain is " most favourable to O'Donnell," and that he seems certain to coma triumphantly out of the first parliamentary trials of the session. But in a second article, signed by 14, John Lemoinne, it is stated that the marshal has " already lost some ground ;" " is not invested wit] the same prestige that he at first had ;" that his policy is purely personal ; that he is " O'Doe. nellist, and nothing else; and finally, referrin g to his sudden offer of his resignation to the Queen because she signed two promotions in the nary without making his leave : " Marshal O'Donnell thinks, perhaps, that he has strengthened his Nei. tion by this precipitate display of energy. We feu that he deceives himself. The public had Lever pre viously supposed it possible that his ministerial career could come to an end so soon; they were, in fact, more disposed to believe that he would not have gone out, even if the Queen had asked him to do so. He himself has destroyed the prestige, and familisrised both the crown and the public with the idea that it is not impossible to do without him." The telegram stating that the Sultan had washed his bands of the Isthmus of Suez beeline., and that the Pacha of Egypt would not allow the works to be commenced without his sanction, was suppressed in Paris, and none of the journals have yet felt at liberty to allude to the subject. It was, however, apprehended at the Bourse yesterday that the Lampe bnbble, against which 7 take credit to my self for having warned your readers long ago, was about to buret. The shares were dose at 10 and 16 discount, and there was much wailing over the nen sible letter of M. F. de Cormick, of Havre. It is stated that an action has been commenced by the management of the Louvre against the Duke de Maillt to recover a picture of St. John, by Raphael, given to his ancestor by Louis XVIIL, and which it is asserted the King wrongfully took out of the col lection belonging to the public museum. A letter received from Holland states that Admiral Rigault de Genouilly has eent to the Dutch colony of Macassar for horses for his hoops landed at Touron. The Macassar horses are said to be excel lent for the climate of Asia. The Grand Duke Constantine arrived at Marseilles on Thursday afternoon by an exprees train. He immediately embarked on board the Russian steamer the Rnrik, which left at once for Toulon. . . "It is Positively stated,• says the Patrie, " that the Grand Duke Constantine, with the Russian sijuadron which awaits his arrival at Toulon, intends visiting some of the Spanish ports. It is adJed that he will pay a visit to Queen Isabella at Madrid." ITALY. NAPLES. Dzc. 25. A Naplee letter of December 22 states that a supplemental levy of 18,000 men has been ordered. There is great activity in all the arsenals. A despatch in the Measager du Midi confirms the fact of the extraordinary armaments, and states further that the King will leave Naples on January 4, for Leoce, escorted by six regiments. The latter statement is in all probability unconnected with the armaments, and mast refer to a military promenade of the King to meet the Prince Royal after his wedding. (MOW 001 OWN NAPLES, D.c. 21. As regards Englishmen in Naples, the police have almost uniformly shown a certain degree of reserve in meddling with them. Perhaps it is that our habit of respecting law, and our abstinence from all intriguing in the internal affairs of those countries where we reside, protect us from important. Whether it be this, or whether it be a wholesome fear of oar government, its rarely that we hear of any of our countrymen being seriously incem venienced by the police. During the last week, however, a British subject has made a serious com plaint at the consulate of threats and insults to which he has been subjected, which will be best explained in his own words : TO am: Barrsxxic munierTs 00=171, NUM.
