LONDOY, TUESDAY, DEC. 1. THE " . 4 ,TATU QUO" IN GERMANY. CLI: I AIN passages in Mr. DISRAELI's recent after-dinner speech at the Guildhall have created expectations abroad, which were probably never contemplated by the speaker, and are, we cannot doubt, destined to disappointment. the PREMIER. solicitous at the moment of nothing more than a passing flourish about the preternaturally wise and successful foreign policy of his Cabinet, seemed to suggest the possibility of a friendly intervention of the great European rower+, between France and Prussia, for the pur vote of alleviating and allaying the aenti meets of rivalry and of jealousy which the preponderance of Prussian arms and the march of Prussian annexations in Germany may have excited between the two great neighbour ing military monarchic*. Mr. DI9RAELI ventured so far on that convivial occasion as to propose that Lord firkinEv should offer himself as a wise and generous mediator between the governments of Paris and Berlin. Lord STANLEY, in his address to the electors of Lynn, touched upon the question of European peace, and the enormous armaments which continually endanger it, with his usual straightforward good sense. He was of opinion that as neither France nor Prussia was molly anxious to go to war, the simple action of time and the calming influence of delay would pro hably suffice toprevent hostilities until both Govern inents would consent to a mutual disarmament from sheer fatigue and exhaustion. At Liverpool, however, at the banquet to the American Minister, the Foe EIGN SEC It ET k Y approached a little uen. to Mr. DISRAELI'S propositions, though in general terms only, and in a mauuer evidently suggested by the settlement of our own difficulties with the United States rather than by any continental questions. Sooner or later, he said in substance, when the desire of peace and the respect for international rights be cause more rooted in the minds of the populations of Europe, these immense military pre parations will die a natural death. In nine cases out of ton the frank and friendly intervention of ▪ neutral power may do much to appease dif ferences. Mr. GLADSTONE, who was present, and who spoke later in the evening, complimented Lord STANLIT On the tone of his speech, and accepted it in spirit. But Mr. Gt./Lumen, in addressing the electors of South-west Lancashire, 4istineily censured Mr. DiszAim's extemporised offer of mediation as an electoral manceuvre, without committing Wallkill for or against the principle of neutral diplomatic action on behalf of the interests of peace. On these vari' CU/ end successive teats some continental jour nalists bare constructed an elaborate and pro digious mystification. They pretend that a grand diplomatic intervention of " neutral " Powers (as if war were already declared). that hi, gland, Austria, and Rum* wee foreshadowed THE EXPRE64, TUESDAY by Mr. DIARABLI at the Guildhall, " by Lord ATANTAY at Liverpool, and acoepted ' principle by Mr. Otrnerotrs. Awarding]; this diplomatic correspondents of the Journal deb Mak at Berlin have written to that journabia the effete that the original idea of this solemn neutral inter- , vention, in order to put en end to the mutual mis understandings of Franco and Prussia, came from Paris; that it was cordially welcomed by the English Cabinet ; and that it will be readily adopted by Lord &LUMPY'S AROOSINPOr, whom, for some reason or other, all the organs of the Tuileries have already appointed, in the person of Lord Cwisuumorc. And what, pray, is to be the supreme object of this mediation of the three " neutral Powers," in which Great Britain is to take so large and eonspiouous a part ? A mere trifle. Nothing more or less than the solemn maintenance (by a new treaty of Paris or London) of the slain roe in Germany, under the strict limitations of the Treaty of Prague. In other words, and in plain English, the maintenance of the Treaty of Prague and the arrested development of German national unity are to form the basis of a now Euro pean settlement which is finally to supersede the settlement of 1815. Not only are the smaller German States to be protected by the " neutral " Powers " against the ambition of Prussia, but they are not to be permitted oven of their own free will and accord to de rognte from the treaty which is to constitute the independence and autonomy of each of theta. If, for instance, the Grand Duohy of Baden should see fit to annex itself to the North German Con federation, that is to be a eases kW, and a British fleck and army are to join with French, Aus trian, and Emden fleets and armies to prevent such a consummation. It is thus that the old doctrine of the balance of power, which some enthusiasts have thought to be exploded, is to be restored, and by way of bringing about a general disarmament, restoring oonfildenee to the money markets, and reanimating industry and commerce, the Government of Great Britain is to constitute itself one of the "keepers" of Prussia, and to declare to the great German people. " thus far shalt thou go, and no " farther. " And why ? Simply because the German people claim the right of managing their own affairs, and because the calculations of the Euranon NAPOLEON, who, as all the world knows, was ono of the prime instigators of the war of 1866, were defeated at Badowa. We daresay Lord CLARENDON is a grata persona at the Tuileries, and it is possible that some thing like this fabulous mediation may have been more or lees obscurely hinted at by some august personage or other. But whether Lord Cr.siesivox is to be the Foreign Minister of a Libeled Cabinet or not, wo are well assured that the British Parliament and the British nation will have a word, and a decisive word, to say about any mediation for maintaining tho slain (pin in Germany. t. 7 y time his daily ptias. instead at bempiutik sln% o 6 the ha* o! poweb of %Ito 'tint, hi has t bogelisk himself a neodurate smoker. • The opponents of tobacco umeldng have' use really strong argument whin they - urge the auguar sive nature of the habit. Young men, and *eh boys now-a-days, with scarcely money enough to pay their way, will waste a portion of it in cigars, and if they become inveterate smokers are tempted to find at all hazards the risk of gratifying their passion. Smoking, bo it remembered, is a mere luxury, and can only be indulged innocently when enjoyed m moderation. But moderation depends as much upon the state of a smoker's finances as uyon his physical capacity for imbaling tobacco. We agree, at any rate, with the anti-tobaoooists that it is a grievous pity that in Bitslead—• country not wholly free from misery and destiht tion—so vast a sum as twelve million. should be annually expended upon smoke. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAT.) TIM intinrricanow or 21E3 Mint 1113101701 L The Time. demonstrates that the representation 'of the great dirt:ids of England dose not in any way respond to the divides of opinion in them Ensue the lodes have returned 120 and more members while the liberals have only sucoeeded in returning about 40, men proceed in good faith to argue that the electors are di vided is the same proportion 114 the representatives, end this cesclusion, expressed or implied, has a powerful sleet on the minds od the mama The fallacy of such an argument is obvious. IsSUCtibit. has returned eight comervatives, but the electors who recorded their votes in the four divides' of Lancashire were WOO libe rals against 29,500 conservatives. Kent returned six eon arnativek but the liberal voters in Kent wen 10,085 against 11,901 conservatives, or, is round flambeau, as 11 to 12. Every county has not been contested to every division, and it is impossible to compare with elect nem the liberal and conservative county strength throughout England ; but an attempt has been made which shows that, approximated?, the liberal sup. posters of county sindidates in the last election were 164,000 spinet 191,400 conservative voters, and the divi sion of representatives corresponding to this proportion woulibe79lieral to 92 coiservatiVe county rairaben, ;mond of 44 to 124, tits actual result of the a/actions. In Lancaihke itaeif, that unexpected stronghold of twaserva tiam, the popular vote is said to give a "Walt, of 200 voters to the conservatives out of 209,000 persons voting, although a revised calculation would appear to show that the liberal voters were actually in the majority, while the Insicashire members, borough and county. are 21 conser vatives against 11 liberals. 111 11 , 0117LLR VOICE Olt The Eta► refutes the assertion that the great centres of population have gone against the policy of disestablish meat and dieendowasent, and regard Disraeli, not Glad stows as " the heaven-born sinister." In the whole of England, 1,106,037 liberal votes have been given calling fora change in the policy which has hitherto been pur. rued towards Ireland, while only 790,176 have been polled for the views of the Lancashire clergy. The Star admits that the minority is respectable✓ but it is a minority ; and, as the two nations of Scotland and Ireland throw an THE TOBACRID CONTROVERSY. TuE argument& employed by the opponents of tobacco would be enough, if sound, to restrain the most inveterate smoker. It has been asserted again and again, with various degrees of emphasis, that smoking deranges the healthy condition of every vital function, that it weakens the action of the heart, destroys the appetite, injures the brain, arrests the growth of the young, is a frequent cause of paralysis, cancer, madness, and, in short, is at the root of more than half the evils which afflict humanity. Moreover, it is affirmed in the pub lications of the British Anti-Tobacco Society, that the cigar is a powerful cause of Immorality, tilling our gaols and reformatories and rendering the I y ou ng especially incapable of resisting temptation. Theta statements, which are but a few out of many brought forward in the Anti-Tobacco tracts, would be very terrible if they were true, for it un doubtedly is true that smoking is every year be coming more customary in England, and that in the face of the frightful evils--madness, idiotcy, paralysis, and a score besides—which it is* said to occasion. Exaggeration, however, defeats itself, and the . . opponents of tobacco, like the total abstainers, deetroy the whole weight of their arguments by confounding moderation with excess. The drunkard, says the teetotaller, is a curse to himself and to society, which is perfectly true ; therefore, he adds, it is wrong to drink a glass of inc or of beer, which is an exquisitely absurd conclusion. Just as absurd is the argument advanced against moderate smoking, because im moderate smoking, like over-much eating, is in jurious to the constitution. Mr. GIORGI HINRY Liwia has recently endea voured to put the tobacco controversy upon a fair footing. Mr. LIWES, who, among manifold gifts in other departments, is also distinguished as a physio logist, points out with his accustomed clearness the fallacy of the arguments urged against the use of tobacco, and at the same time the evils arising from an abuse of the weed. " I f," he says, " the slight increase of the heart's " action, consequent on smoking a cigar, is injuri " ous because it is an increase, and if such " excitement is cumulative through daily re " petitions, and by accumulation, will produce " idiotcy, mania, loss of memory, general pars- lysis, and all the other terrors of tobacco, then " On similar grounds, we should avoid the slight increase of the heart's action which follows our " (hilly cup of tea or coffee, our morning tub, and daily walk, with all other stimuli of food, '• emotion, and thought." On the other hand Mr. Limn argues that the stimulus of tobacco, while it quickens the circula tion does not necessarily depress it in the long run, and he appeals to the reader's experience of Lis tobacco-loving acquaintances "to decide " whether they are more bloodless and feeble " than their non-smoking fellows." At the same time he has no doubt whatever that smoking in excess, or in exceptional cases, does produce the injuries attributed to it, " but the argument from '• excess is an mesa in argument." The Lofted agrees entirely with the statements of Mr. Lxwxs, but perhaps lays more stress upon " the too prevalent habit of excessive smoking." Mr. LEWES thinks that the limit of moderation an easily be determined by each man for himself, and that having determined his limit, he should rigorously confine himself to it, since " there is a " lurking danger in tobacco which only fool-hardy " men will play with." At this point we are compelled to dissent from Mr. Limes. Himself one of the most temperate of men, ho is not, we think, sufficiently alive to the fascination of tobacco upon men who crave after excitement, and are naturally prone to excess. Such smokers cannot determine the limit which it is perilous to exceed. The delights of tobacco are so alluring that they shut their eyes to its dangers, and sines massive smoking does not, like drunkenness, disgrace them in the eye of the world, they yield to it without rionipunotion. The test of moderation is not whether a man can smoke several cigars in a day, or is content with one or two, but whether be has strength of will moue' into the wale of the liberal majority, oar oosamporary as emphatically repudiates the notion that the election is not expressive of the will of the people, as it does the idea that there can now be the taut batting or hentation in pressing the disendow- downest sad coariudos. if the Irish church to • CONSISIVATEM WILL MOPZFUL. The Mesh! confesses that numbers are, as yet at least, greatly againt the conservative party, and admits that it would be pewit* to deny a fact which figures demoastrate. But a majority of professed opposes& on one partieular question in the House of Commons does not neomsarily imply ministerial defeat. The present government hare held office for over two years, and carried important reas sures in the teeth of • wsll.sse•essined one of over 70 against them. And whether the followers of Mr. Glad stone muster 70 or 120 over those of Mr. Disraeli at the clan of the proroguing elections, is not after all a matter of such grave importance as it might at first sight appear to be. LARTIMIYAKIII:9 AND THEIR EITXCTS. It in impossible, lays the Daily News, to realise the value and even the necessity to our civilisation of confi dence in the regularity of 'mature and faith in the stability of the solid world. That living "from hand to mouth " which is the characteristic of nomadic races is the 'soot fatal barrier to their progress. Men who ate aminstemed to associate instability with the vary ground itself became lees careful of any stable institutions, and less swims for certainty. Life under such circumstances is apt to partake of the adventurous spirit of the (enabler rather than of the solid, phlegmatic, plodding character which is developed in the low lands. There is necessarily less looking forward to the future and more dwelling in the present, in people exposed to such uncertainties. It is one of the maximal fasts respecting the influence of earthquakes that habit does nothing to diminish the terror they create. No science can predict the shock, no foresight can ward it off, no skill or patience can provide against it. When it comas a whole popula tion are helpless before it ; and the sense of that helpless ness is never lost. Hence arises a tendency, which an volcanic countries share, towards the most abject forms of superstition. TEE Lel Or EXPDMITE MISSILES Et WAIL The Pest is gratified to leans that the decision of the international Conference just held at St. Petersburg is against the employment of explosive projectiles of a mailer size than those adapted for cannon, " save when at war with a State not a party to the convention." All that a general desires to do is to put the enemy ho.•s de combat. There is really no object in blowing a man to atoms, and the Post is glad that in the present instance motives of expediency have for once gone hand in band with the dictates of humanity, and that consequently the newly-devised shell-bullet, the latest triumph of military inventive skill, will be turned to no account. CHLIBTMAS AIRICIPATED. The TrlegeepA is itself again on the subject of the Christ nuts holiday. By no improper or unbecoming adoption, it says, has the birth-morn of the Great Teacher of the "love of God" become the "saint's day " of the household. On that day, each of us retires from the strain and trouble of life, to realise in the tender affection of home something of the eternal and omnipotent divine love which spoke from the Master's lips, and which has its earthly represen tation in the love of mother or father, wife or husband, sla ter or brother, child or friend. The moral of the essay is that business should be suspended from Thursday evening the 24th, to Tuesday, the 29th inst., so that " Jack" will thus have " four entire, clear, glorious days" to enjoy a real Christmas vacation. Then mothers and fathers will him absent eons and daughters again ; and the puddings will have to be tremendously big and the plums lavishly sprinkled in consequence—so that the grocers to a s must be on the side of the holiday.

The Galtlois, which in the early stages of the Spanish revolution received beyond all doubt ex clusive information from General Prim, has to-day some information from its special correspondent at Madrid, M. Angel de Miranda. which, I believe, to be authentic. His letter, dated Madrid. Nov. 28, says that he had an interview with Prim on Nov. 27, and that the genera used the following words : I authorise you to declare that I have not, and never shall have, any political telations with the Bourboas of es" bean& whatever. I did not take part in a revolution the id cry of which proclaimed the downfall of that fatal dynaity, to stultify myself a few days later. I will arm be the instrument or the protector of a royal faultily which has been a cures to my coentry. - The general further said : I kaew that the ]?'reach press begins to be unjust to wards me. I know that both those who desire and those who fear a rev trite impute to me the intention to make one. lam not the vulgar, ambitions man they suppose. I have no thought of being the master, dictator, or empe ror of my country. If I had any such wretched designs I could not do better than follow the advice of those who think themselves more liberal than I, and I should then urge Spain to become a republic. In that case she would certainly offer me supreme power in one form or another. On the other hand, if I listen to men who believe in physical force I might easily become dictator. But I am in power to liberate, not to oppress. The correspondent says time will show whether General Prim is a Sylla or a Washington. He can hardly be expected to turn out the latter, because everything shows that he is strongly anti-republican, and this very letter says he has a monarchical candidate in his eye, but will not disclose his name till the Corts meets. and is ready to vote. M. Horn, the well-known political economist, and a " man of order," if ever there was one, is to be prosecuted for something said at a public meet ing at the Redoute, on Nov. 23, and for which he, as chairman, is held responsible. This is the com mencement of the crusade against public meetings which Paul de Cassagnac has long been preaching. It coincides with the rumour that M. Moignon, the late Procureur-Imperial of Paris, has been pitchforked into the Court of Cessation, and that his successor, M. Desarnaut:, installed only last week, is to inaugurate a more severe system. M. Horn, whose qualities as a president deserved less unruly audiences, has struggled manfully both at the Chiteau d'Eau and the Redoute to educate the people in the exercise of their very recently acquired, and yet very res tricted liberty of public meeting. It is no fault of his if the elementary maxims " Hear one another," and " obey the chair," were too often disregardei. After all, the " excesses," as M. de Cassagnac terms them, of these public meetings have never been of a nature to disturb the public peace, or, indeed, of any importance at all except in the eyes of those who re pent of January 19, and would do away with free public meetings altogether. In order to hold these meetings up to odium the Pays lately printed verbatim reports of the speeches of a certain lady advocating free divorce; but after several adjourned debates the principle of the indissolubility of mar riage was voted by a large majority.

Everybody knows the pretty antithesis in the speech delivered, but, as it now appears, never com posed, by Prince Louis Napoleon when he was brought before the Court of Peers for the ettentat of the 6th of August, 1840—" I represent before you a principle a cause, and a defeat. The principle is," dc. ; "the cams "the defeat is that of Waterloo." It would now seem that the prince was wholly innocent of entertaining any feelings of vengeance against England on account of that "defeat." Mr. C. L. Gruneisen, who tells us that be has been honoured with the friendship of the late M. Berryer for '• " • upwards of 30 years, relate; the circumstances which led up to that celebrated passage in the slfornialt Post as fol lows :—" The prince wrote down a sketch of what he wished to say to the Court of Peers, giving it to his counsel to alter and amend as he thought expo. pedient. M. Berryer, who was in daily communica tion with the English friend referred to, being struck with the rather inflated style of the proposed address, quite natural under the perilous position of the prisoner. read over the draft to the Englishman with the obser vation, You English, who have so much common sense, can suggest what is ultra and maggeratel.' Sagged tires were mutually made on the reading until N. Berryer came to a passage, ' I represent before you a prin ciple and a cause—the first the sovereignty of the people, and the second that of the Empire.' On besting this sentence the Englishman smiled. What are you laughing at said N. Berryer. Well,' was the reply, ' I think there is one other thing the prince reprises's.' ' What is that r rejoined the advocate. ' A defeat,' was the sassier. ' What do you mean P ' Waterloo,' quietly remarked the Englishman. C'est le mot. end le mot '.' celled out N. Berryer, and pea in hand ho altered the passage as it was de livered to the court, and it stood thus .—' I represent before you a principle, a cause, and a defeat. The prin ciple is the sovereignty of the people ; the cause is that of the empire ; the defeat is that of Waterloo. The prin ciple—you ham recognised it; the oesuse—you have served it ; the defeat—you wadi revenge it.' " Now that N. Berger is dead, Mr. Gruneison puts for ward his claim ea the originator of the " defeat " clause. He was often tempted to make the truth known before, but he abstained whilst N. Berryer was alive. Now that he is goose be oases forward with his air Ha nom rah,.
