`. :a Perhaps none of our eta frequently than Mr. Gx• 4be oplU the war was destined to iM the ind of the South. The event has proved that mated too highly the endurance and spirit of the Slave States, while he underrated the publics spirit and military resources of the North. We think, however, that it would be a misfortune to both countries if his erroneous judgment were taken as evidenoe of a feeling of hostility to the free North. Many, no doubt, predicted the triumph of the South merely because they wished it, and wished it simply because they desired to see the American Republic broken up. It is only fair, however, to remember that if prediction of evil results is some times a weapon in the hands of enmity, it is also one principal method by which men constantly and justly seek to deter • friend from some course which they think injurious to him, and this, there can be no doubt, was Mr. GLADSTONZ'S intention. It, therefore, it is necessary to look back, it will be wiser and also more just to pay regard to the general character of his utterances than to dwell on particular expressions, which attracted notice chiefly because of the uaetowhich they were turned at the time. But it would be better still to look to the future instead of the past, to those great common interests which, in the words of President Joalismr, " require that the two nations should be friends," and to the cultivation of those relations of amity which the Qusarr, by her Minister at Washington, Ihas declared to be the most ardent wish of her Government. THE BRITISH MUSEUM. AMONG the most pleasing features of the recent intelligence from America is the improved feeling of the citizens of the United States towards this country. The evidences of this disposition meet us on every hand, but are especially visible in the altered tone of their most representative news papers. Our attitude and language are better un derstood, because more calmness and candour are brought to the endeavour to appreciate them. This is no doubt partly due to the altered circumstances of the Republic. Success has cleared away many a gloomy feeling which engendered bitterness, and brought with it a measure of that self-oompleeency which is so favourable to a benign view of human conduct. But circumstances have not only im proved the situation and temper of the citizens, they have also contributed to place us and our cha racter and motives in a truer light than that in which they were regarded six or twelve months ago. The wisdom and sincerity which have characterized the action of our Government with respect to the troubles on the Canadian frontier bare made their impression on the public of the United States, who know that they could not have more loyal neighbours than we have proved to be. The calamity which has recently fallen upon the Union has proved an occasion for demonstrating that the people of British America are animated by the most fraternal feelings for those of the Republic. The genuine grief which was attested by the universal and spontaneous mourning in Canada bra made a profound impression at New York, and has been accepted as better evidence of the real spirit of the Canadian people than the outbursts of • clamorous section of Southern sympathisers in the province. The character of the reception of Sir FHIDINICK Bence by President JOHNSON is of • nature to strengthen the same friendly feeling between the two peoples. The American newspapers praise the delicacy and taste of the British Minister's address, and note with satisfaction the unfeigned emotion with which be referred to the event which had deprived him of an opportunity of presenting it, according to the intention of his Government, to President LINCOLN. The assurance that " Her " MAJESTY has nothing more at heart than to cul " tivate relations of amity and good understanding " between the two kindred nations of the United " States and Great Britain" is accepted without reserve, some of the journals treating it as • declaration of the Queen's personal sentiments —a construction which, if somewhat =- diplomatic, is neither unpleaaing nor untrue. It is a remarkable fact that throughout this war, while the complaints of the American newspapers respecting the tone of feeling and habitual thought of a large and important section of English society have been bitter and vehement, they have always held fast the belief that the throne of this country is occupied by one who has been their true and constant friend. The kind act of the QUINN and Primes Cossowr in recalling the official despatch to Lord LYONS concerning the Trent affair at the last moment, and after its terms bad been settled and approved, for the purpose of softening some of its expressions and making them more agreeable to the American Government, was known and often repeated in America with pleasure a year before Earl RUSSELL mentioned it in the House of Lords. But there has always been some thing peculiar and almost mysterious about the sentiments which the Americans cherish for the Quzew. They appear to feel that a bond unites them to the first Lady of their race, which neither distance nor difference of government can weaken. We need not point out how this feeling will be strengthened by the thoughtful considera tion and sympathy which dictated the Quezres letter to Mrs. LINCOLN. Two things appear especially desirable just now in the intercourse of the two nations—the first, that the people and the public speakers and writers of each country should cultivate friendly senti ments for the other ; the second, that neither Government should put too great a strain on those feelings in their dealings with the other. President JOHNSON has said that the interests of civilization and humanity require that the two nations should be friends, and in England that sentiment will be heartily reciprocated ; but the friendship of two great nations must be the friendship of men, not that of children—a friendship con sistent with the practical acknowledgment of divergent interests, and with perfect freedom of opinion respecting the public acts of one another. We trust that one of the effects of this war upon the American character will be the de velopment of • calm and well-grounded self confidence, rendering the citizens more patient of criticism than they have sometimes shown them selves. The friendship we desire to see con solidated will not be complete, for instance, if it does not recognise the same sincerity of good , will co-existing with very different views of the recent war. Some of our public men, it is well known, looked favourably and hopefully on the efforts of the Union Government to recover pos session of the seceded States at a time when for tune seemed to smile upon its enemies. Others, either yielding to prevailing opinion, or judging for themselves, saw no hope of the triumph of the Free States, and frankly avowed their opinion that the North ought to desist from its great teak. The accounts and estimates of the British Mu mum were issued this mooting. The exproditnn for the Ilbacial year ended 314 March last was in ell 97,5381., sad a blame was carried to amount for 1865.6 of 36,2421. 2i. 9d. The estimate for out year is 103,1641. The sum granted for but year was 92, 1271. The Increase is accounted for by a sum of 7,6001., being set down to meet the ex penses of further excavations at Sedum, the pur slane of the Koitscharow collection of minerals, end melbas at the sales of the Pourtalk and Bt. Angelo collections. The total number of Ferman ad mitted to visit the general collections, exclusive of readers, lest year was 432,339. This is lees bail the number in any year oboe 1869. le 1862 double the number of la at year visited the museum. In 1861 the number wee 641,886, and in 1863 440,801. The number of visits to the reading-room for ties purpose of study or research is also ism Lin year the visits were 105,899 ; in 1859 they were 122,424 ; in 1861 130,410 ; and in 1863 107,821. About 4,180 boob seam to have been used in the reading-room every day. Each reader has °malted as an average 11 volumes per day. Including music, atlases, and newspapers. 38,842 volumes have been added to the library. Of these 28,426 were purchased. The additions to the department of manuscripts in the course of the year are 60 9 manuecripts, 51 o rig in charters. and 71 bar and seals ; to tel Bottom collection 17 menu - script" and 3 edema charters. The acquisition in the departments of Greek and Roman antiquities include, of course, the purchase of the statues from the Farness Palm, at Rome. There Is also a collection at antiqaties from Cemirius, in the Nand of Rhodes. where extesaye excavations have been carried on by Mr. Fioe•Goesul Biliotti and Mr. Salzman. 2,667 coins and medals, of which 1, 360 are Greek, have been procured dar ing the year. la the report of Professor Owen we meet with the usual complaints respective the spot aiiittod to the sattual history collections, whisk makes the labours of the staff in mart to a ism proportion of the specimens to the business of conservatioo ; " whereas," says the professor, " the purpose of the collation is to be instructively exhibited or arranged miler conditions of light and aeoem Militating seisattho inquiry and °Kaman. Not only tat 7=l, tirds, and the minerals should be shown in serial sequins, hot surf other Mat of Mara history ; nor ought the bulk of the specimens in certain of these to be a bar to oath display ; for it is only in a anneal or British Museum that adequate specs for such means of advancing na tural scam can be afforded or conned." Of the total number of addition, 12,974 to the department of aatotal history, 7,688 are registered in the department of soology, 4,651 in the department of geology, and 634 in the depart mot of mineralogy. Amongst the additions to the depart meot of geology the most intereatiog in relation to questions as to the antiquity of man, and the cranial and dental characters of primitive moss, are the partly petrified romans of the men who inha bited the limestone caverns of the South of Frans at the period when chamois, bouquetin, wild horse, reindeer, the great extinct ox, kr., existed, and especially the reindeer, abounded, in that part of Europe ; and at a period when the use of metals being unknown, the primitive implements were chipped Bina, by means of which diverse weapons and instruments, Mind iag needles, were manufactured from the bones and antlers of the Mute captured and killed for food. On sons of those bone instruments the reindeer and horse bad been delineated in outline, with much truth and spirit, and these are probably among the earliest examples of the graphic art. The value of this series of human remains, discovered at Braniquel by the Vicomte de Latin in 1863, depends upon the care and accuracy with which every material fact as to "matrix," " position," "chemical condition," &c., of the crania was ascertained, on which a conclusion as to their c ontemporaneity with the remains of the extinct animals could be satiefaetorily arrived at. To this end the cavern was visited by the re porter in January and February, 1854 ; the human remains were inspected, and others were then exposed in sit ii, it'd one almost entire cranium was removed and transferred to the British Museum, with the large mass of breccia, de tached at a depth of four feet from the stelarmitic Soot of the cavern, and exhibiting, with other human remains and numerous implements, conditions of imbedding identical with those of the bona and teeth of the Cero tut forandus and 800 prisonnius. A large series of skulls of different races of 'agrees that are brought to the coast near the month of the Gahm, and skies and skeleton of the gorilla, chimpanzee, and the African sea cow, or manatee, have been received from M. Do Malta The oast of the nest-building ohimpsasse, end remain of other mammal* transmitted from the Gaboon by M. do Chains, have been presented by John Murray, Esq.

(111011 oat OWN PARIS, THURSDAY EVICNING, The Agricultural Society of Nancy, the most im portant of France, has presented a petition to the Senate against the alienation of the State forests, which it calls an " afflicting " and " dangerous " measure. The petition refers to a letter to the Emperor in which the reasons against the scheme are briefly set forth, and concludes by the averment that " it is assuredly to serve the sovereign and the dynasty to do everything possible to prevent France at some future day, while thinking with bitter re gret of her forests irrevocably lost, from mixing up in her memory the epoch of such a national misfor tune with that of the reign of Napoleon III." During the thunder-storm which visited Paris yesterday afternoon the electric fluid killed one of two men riding in a washerwoman's cart, Rue Virginia, at Montmartre. A house, No. 2, Rue de la Pompe, at Pansy, was struck, and seriously damved. Another house has been injured in the Rue Castiglione. It is probable that many more accidents, yet unknown, must have occurred. I was in the Fine Arts Exhibition, in the Champs Elysies, at the time of the storm, and observed from the almost simultaneity of several flashes of lightning and claps of thunder iu succession, that danger was close at band. Hundreds of people were, like myself, kept pri rnere by the pelting rain in the inconvenient cor ridor which lams as an exit to, the Fixhibition. The carriage accommodation in Paris is always Wk. equal to an emergency. In the Champs Elysies, when rain falls, you may wait for two boars with out finding a cab. The Epoque says that, in order to be prepared for all "eventualities," the French government bas determined to reinforce its naval stations on the American coast. Baron Felix Bonnaire, the founder of the Revue des Deux Mondea, and the publisher of most of the early works of Madame George Band, has just died in Paris. The Tribunal of Commerce yesterday tried an action against Messrs. Rothschild Brothers for the sum of 691 r., which, it was alleged by M. Brady, the plaintiff, they had wrongfully charged him as oommisaion for changing 23 certifications of Austrian bonds of the loan of 1861 against new ones. M. Bredy's counsel contended that the house of Rothschild were agents of the Austrian government in this matter, awl that in depositing his old bonds with them, to be exchanged pursuant to advertise ment, he could not be understood as authorising them to deduct money for the operation. The tribunal, however, held that the charge of 3fr. per bond was a usual and reasonable one, and therefore dismissed the suit with costs. The Bonne left off with scarcely any change in quotations. But a great battle is going on between the Credit Mobilier and other powerful operators, which is expected to have some very decided result next week.
