Lees than a hundred years SID It tees s fashion of the French Encyclopediob who al royal soldier and an autocratic Impress dslai to honour, to place the ideal of human happis•en, simpbcity, and virtue, of pare religion, primitiw, morality, and equal laws, in China. The Cale► fish Empire, it is true, was then much mow than it is now • terra iacng•itn ; and among phi losophers, dissatisfied with surrounding cireassm! stances, it enjoyed all the privileges of the Un known, and served to point • vivid and startling contrast to societies and institutions near enough to be visible to the naked eye of critics who were wont to turn the magnifying gloms of theory and fancy on • system of government and a social order with which they were never likely to come in contact. What a change in China from the European point of view eighty years have wrought ! In 1860, so far from being at the mercy of fabulists or • few rambling missionaries, or even of a Nw merchant-venturers, for our ideas of China and the Chisels, we know as much of the Brother of the Sun and Moon and of his people as three wars, • couple of treaties, repeated expedi tions and occupations, and • fussy little colonial establishment can teach a pushing and pugnacious nation addicted to • vast consumption of " gun " powder-tea." And yet if our present know ledge of that multitudinous population whom we glibly speak of as a third of the human race, is to be measured by the extent of our ignorance, how little have we learnt beyond the fact that we really know next to nothing of a civilisation for which we have no chronology, and which has cos trived to rise and flourish, and transact affairs, un aided and unchecked by our philosophy of life and history. What we know of China is about as much as the captain of a foreign merchantman, when he has sailed up the Mersey or the Avon and done business with his consignees at Liverpool or Bristol, may be supposed to know of England. Perhaps, to make the comparison complete, we ought to suppose that the merchantanan had feed difficulties in his trading operations, and had bass succeeded by a squadron of war ships, which had occupied Bristol and knocked Liverpool into splinters ; and that he had made himself ao quainted with our rougher sorts of pottery, and with a translated version of some of our moral treatises ; and that certain missionaries and adven turers from his country had penetrated in disguise into Loudon. But if we put England as far off from this foreign merchantman as China is from England, and suppose it as large and densely populated a. China, the comparison is not much in favour of our actual knowledge of that Empire. We talk familiarly of the Chinese as a people infinitely stipple, ingenious, imitative, and unamhke, and we treat them as such ; yet there are occasions, as haat evening fur instance, when the House of Commons not unwillingly escapes . eiration of the policy of pomminents not only Christian and civilised, but actually marching in the van of Illatepeen progress side by side with Enabind, to discuss the means of correcting the bad faith and avenging the insolence of an Enrsnom whom ws decline to convince of our pacific in tentions by any other arguments than Armstrong pins. Certainly if ever the Chinese Government appeared harmless and respectable, it was last evening after the flavoy " incident" We can bmdly wander at the evident impression in the Kim that to teach the Chinese Eurinoa to ob amve treaties and to keep his word Europe should approach him with clean hands, and that it was ipite enough to answer for our own. At any Me, the disposition to regard with leniency the peccadilloes of Chinese statesmanship (who, after all, have removed no landmarks), and to take • moderate and unaggressive view of our relations with a people who prefer trading to fighting, has pined ground in Parliament since events have taught us that we need not go quite so far as Pekin la search of bad faith. Whatever the cause, however, we cannot but commend and encourage this state of feeling in the House of Commons on the Chimes quertion. We have never advocated any but a moderate and peaceful policy—a policy of firmness and fair dealing—a policy composed of as much of plain commercial morality and courtesy, and of as little of military or diplomatic intervention, as the meters of our only neossesi7 and desirable inter 11011MIS with China demands. Last evening it was in this wise that • China debate arose. More than • dozen miscellaneous questions led been started and run down—including topic. as various and dramatic as " The Oyster Fishery," "The Foreshores of Scotland," "The man found dead in the wood," "The Nabob of the Carnatic," and " The Gas Supply." When the gas question I was turned off, Mr. Botrvssis rose and rated the House soundly for the desultory habits into which it was falling on Friday nights, and the House, dung by an uneasy conscience, took its whipping very kindly. It was not until nearly half past eight that the House was ready to go into Committee of Supply ; and on the motion being made, Sir De LACY Evews with much quiet force stated the objections to a vote for an expedition which might be employed to carry us into an illimitable and interminable war. When a veteran soldier who has seen tough service on the battle-fields of Europe deprecates a military expedition, we may assume that he sees no glory to be won, and that honour is on the side of peace. Forty thousand men seems to the General a large force to accompany a couple of Ambassadors on a conciliatory mission, a larger force than can be required to exact retribution for the Taku disaster, or to vindicate the dignity of the Western Powers ; large enough to begin a war of millions of money against millions of men. The Fosmos Mumma explains that it is not forty bit twenty thousand men that are to compose the allied foram on this new Ohissee ex pedition ; that Lord Eton' has gone to Paris to con fer with Baron Gros about their second mission • and that it is hoped that the moderate demand of the two Governments may be satisfied with out effusion of blood ; and that the Ambas sadors may be received with all the honours at Pekin, though they should afterwards waive the right to a permanent residence in that capital, and be content with periodical visits from Shanghai. Sir J. Etrwriswroirs, who knows China " face to face," warns the Government against a winter at Pekin, and draws an appalling picture of un counted hordes clad in sheepskins swarming round our headquarters, the thermometer at 40 below sera, and the Empire of China " nowhere ;" and he suggests that we should occupy Nankin as at once the most commanding, central, and tenable position. This, however, has been tried before, and with very slight effect upon the tnorak of the surrounding populations. Whether we are prepared to accept Mr. Batorr's Chinese policy or not, we are as fully persuaded after last night's discussion as we were before, that our business in China is to trade, and not to fight. Of all the follies of official routine, the moat stupendous to our thinking is the folly of carrying all the bigwig airs and solemn preten sions and cruel pedantries of Western politics into our dealings with China. It is our duty, no doubt, to give security to our merchants, and to cause our flag to be respected wherever it appears ; .. , but our emential and only business in China for the present, and probably for a long time to come, is commerce, not war or politics, of which we have enough and to spare nearer home, thanks to the Ally in company with whom we are now pre paring to teach the Mandarins the observance of treaties. hums or M I PJ4 Nionvisrosia —We under stand that prayers will be offered tO4I2ONTOW ia ell the ger- Anon chapels in behalf of Kim Nightingale, who ie venom', tin—Dorer Espreu of this day.

MARCi ta !ELLIG: r THE SWISS PROTEST AGAINST THE ANNEXATION OF SAVOY. The following is a copy of the Swiss protest just delivered to the French Minister of Foreign Affairs: PARIS Ilisca 15, 1500. "M. ESi, llngierra Or SWITZELLAND, TO IL Di TIOUVITIL, 111171811 T 07 POTEGN AMIN& " lionienr le Ministre,—ln oonsequenoe of a despatch from Berne I am to inform your Exoelleaey that the Federal Connell have addremed to the government of hie Majesty the King of Sardinia a note in which they demand the maintenanoe of the stipulations of the Treaty of 1564, i l eonfirmed by the treaty of 1816 between Sardinia and Owiteerland, in so far se they relate to the cession of the actual territory of Savoy to another power. " I am to add that my Government regards in a par ticular manner any annexation of the neutralised marinate, Chablais, and the (envois, to another power, as in contradiction to the stipulations of the treaties of 1815, which guarantee these provinces, in the interest of Swiss neutrality, as if they were an integral part of the Con federation, and declaring that they are to enjoy the neutrality of Switzerland in the Name manner as if they be longed to her.' the meantime, and with reference to the considera tions which I had the honour to explain to you in the audience which you were pod enough to grant me on the 13th of March, my instructions impose on me the duty of protesting formally, in the name of the Swiss Confedera tion, spinet every measure which may have for object to annex thew provisoes to France, till such time as the power' of Europe, to which the imperial government has ' Emit declared that it would submit this question, shall hays decided.

A letter from Turin of the 13th, in the Corsage, tionnet, says :--"The meeting of the Sardinian Par liament will not, it is said,take place until the 12th April. The Bing intends, when the expression of the wishes of the population of the Romagna is made to him in a few de" to deliver a speech in which he will declare that be postpones his acceptance for the present, adding that negotiations have been opened for the purpose of reconciling those wishes with respect for the rights of the Holy See. Unfortunately these negotiations will not, it is feared,lead to any result. The crisis will therefore be only postponed for a few days. The annexation of Central ItalytoPiedmont is everywhere accepted with the greatest enthusiasm. Thiagreat event will be celebrated here by fetes of all kinds. There will be a grand representation at the Theatre Royal, at which the King will be present, accompanied - by the members of the provisional governments, who will come to Turin for the pur pose. At the end of the week his Majesty will, it is said, leave this capital and make a tour in the provinces which have voted for annexation. One of the first acts of the government am soon as the annexation shall have been declared will be to open a loan of 100 millions, one-half of which will be negotiated abroad and the other subscribed for at home."

EX PRESS FROM PARIS. 1. i). (nos OUR OWN PALM FwaT EVILYING. The elevation to the Senate of M. Michel Che valier, a strong partisan of peace as well as a free trader, is in itself some evidence of the sincerity of the Emperor in his reiterated profeesions of a peace policy. Marshal Bandon's report recommending the suppression of two companies in each regiment of Chasseurs is a practical step in the same direc tion. It is, however, to be inferred from the ex ception made with regard to the regiments now in Italy that the evacuation of that country by the French army is not contemplated. The Savoy deputation, consisting of forty mem bers, with Count Greifri at their head, has arrived in Paris, and will be received by the Emperor to morrow. It is said that a French diplomatic manifesto will shortly appear in which all designs upon the Rhine frontier will be expressly disclaimed, and the in ference will be repudiated that because France for special reasons now adds two small parcels of terri tory to her empire, she therefore means to set a preeedent for claiming what are called " natural frontiers." Letters from Lyons say positively that some cavalry regiments in that city are under marching orders for Savoy. There were considerable oscillations at the Bourse.

The whole city was illuminated, from the most sumptuous palaces to the smallest hovels. At the theatre the poet Miami declaimed several appropriate poems. Everything wee applauded, above Al the poems—the first entitled " Pio IX. e la Gems," full of poetical diatribes on the Pope; the mooed, "the Aquila d'Austria," giving Austria her share of abuse ; and the third, called "Annessione." During the intervals • continual thundering cheer would rise and swell every time some one hit on • new subject. Victor Emmanuel, hely, Tuasni, Venice, Cavour, Chtribakli, mad a hundred °thermions all camels for their share; among them Pepoli, who is decidedly popular among his compatriots, and who had several times to come forward and bow. In the midst of one great cheer for " Union," which was kept up an incredibly long time, there w•s a general tying toge ther of nerves and handkerchiefs from we box to the other, from one tier down to the other, across the pit and stalk. This band, which connected thus the public, and farmed at the same time an improvised festooning, was agitated whenever tome cherished name or popular ide► was cheered. It was quite contagious, as we may judge from the circumstance that a Prussian general who was there was as violent in this work es any Bonin aole. EXECUTION AT CONSTANTINOPLE. (hens the Lensed Herald of March 7.) On Sunday morning the wife, and her paramour the murderer, of the late Ferik Ibrahim Pacha suffered "the last penalty of the law" at the Stamboul end of Karakeui Bridge. As the sentence of the condemned couple had been confirmed several days before by the Sultan, it would have been immediately carried into effect but for the difficulty of finding an executioner—the popular feeling as to such services being now widely different from what it was in the "good old times" when the bow-string and the scyme. tar were seldom a day unused. At last, however, the (con sidered) high wages of 500 piss/tree . induced r azsy to under take the mor and on Sunday ning, woo y, this now unusual tragedy was performed in the area in front of 'the fowl-shops beyond the bridge. Shortly after 5 o'clock (Frank time), the prisoners were brought from the Zaptieh prison, under a paid of sol diers and cavasses—the man on foot, with his hands tied behind him, the woman in • sedan-chair. On &Me- ing at the end of the bridge, the guard formed into • half.cirele, shutting out the crowd of fifty or sixty people who bad gradually gathered behind them on the way from the Zaptish. The woman was then handed out of the chair, and, from the sudden tremor . which seised en her, after catching sight of the two upnghtfpoles with their grim crossbeam, and the movements - of preparation amongst the guard, it was evident that what could at most have been only • suspicion in her mind before then flashed into • terrible certainty. She moaned piteously at first, then broke into • low my of "aside, aside" mercy, mercy), and asked what they were going to do with her. She was told—" merely to eras her," and thus partly quieted, though still moaning and quivering with terror, was led into the old black wooden khan at the corner of the street. There she was immediately seized and pinioned, screaming and struggling fearfully the while, till the noose, rapidly slipped over her head and pulled at either end by • citrus, had done its quieting work. The body was then carried out and hung up on the hail gallows Pr=for it. this half of the tragedy had been in course of accomplishment within the Khan, the male culprit had suffered his punishment outside. As soon as the woman was removed into the building, an officer read aloud • statement of the prisoner's crime and scutence—then announced to the wretched man for the first time. He was then told to kneel down, which be did, stretching forward his neck without hesitation or resistance, but looking, as a bystander . remarked, like • men who bad died yesterday. The . grpy then drew his yateir ea ll heavy inwar&y-cnrring blade) and struck • si& blow close to the shoulder end of the neck ; the atenanal fell over on his face and made • few convulsive draggles. but three additional hacks from the sword of a aaramed length severed the heed entirely hum the nmir, and 41111111. plated the judicial butchery. The head was gm face up, by the side of the body, whke, with that planed et the woman, remained exposed to view the day with placardsannouncing their crime stitched to the front el Since last week we have been informed that jealousy, and not a criminal intrigue with the male murderer, had been the impelling motive of the woman's share in her husband's death. The latter, it appears, bad taken to himself a ming slave, and maddened by his refuel to turn away this trespasser en the conjugal domain, the wretched wife phoned and accomplished the old man's death as we have related. The Moniteur, in the report of the parliamentary debate of Thursday night, suppresses the passage of Lord Palmerston's speech in which he expressed a hope that the annexation of Savoy to France might after all not take place. The ballet girl, Holke by name, of the Opera at Berlin, whose petticoat. caught fire during a performance on the 24th of last month, and who was dreadfully burned, has just died la as hospital of that city. A man named Lacaretz, who in the First revo lution was secretary to the notorious Carrier, author of the noyades at Nantes, died three days ago at St, Sympkorein, near Rouen. He. for many years lived solely by begging, and was well known in different parts of France by the name of "Trablits le Barbs." His death was oemeimed by his having in an attack of epilepsy fallen into the fire in the cottage of a peasant who had given him hospitality. He had attained the age of 97._ A full-sized portrait of the celebrated Mdme. &Scantier, painted by BeseuGerarcl, was sold on Thursday at the public sale-rooms, Rue Drouot, Parbt, for the snm of 19,800 fr. Extraordinary curiosity was excited by the ex hibition of this picture. Upwards of 10,000 people went to look at it.

It is with regret that we record the death of M. JulliemonWedneeday evening, lathe neighbourhood of Pmis. For some weeks past the exertion and anxiety consequent on the getting of a new series of concerts, upon which he calculated establishing in the French capital the high reputa. tion he had pined in the course of twenty years in Eng. land, was too much fora temperament ►t all times keenly sensitive and excitable, and loss of reason was the result. On Sunday last M. Jullien's trot concert was to be given, and the greatest curiosity and interest prevailed throughout Paris. That lint concert was never des. tined to take place. Two days previously M. Juni= was conveyed to a priente lunatic asylum, having exhibited the worst phases of madness, and his medical attendants en. tertained no hope whatever of II speedy cure. We have not ascertained particulars of his demise further than that, in consequence of some severe course of antiphlogistic treat. meat, the patient caught a severe cold which fastened on his lungs, and terminated in inflammation. M. Jullien's reason returned some hours previous to his decease, and he passed away in perfect consciousness of what was w a i n around. The subscription which wan advertised, aml which in a few days amounted to a considerable sum, will, no doubt, be appropriated to his widow and family end to the expenses attending his illness and death. BARON HUMBOLDT AND PRISMS ALDIRT.—The Atheneum of today contains a review of the extraordinary volume of correspondence of the late Baron Humboldt, noticed in our columns a few days ago in a letterfrom Berlin. In the volume is a letter from Prince Albert,lacknovrledgkg th owy e a rec* the ipt A oi thencru Hun er ib , " "th a is " K la ' r con a"." tains "j an nfiltunate enCriOtE which Humboldt, not being perhaps in the of humours when he wrote about it to Vwhasen, h a s turned into ridicule. The Prince Consort cone udes his letter thus : 'May heaven, " whore circling seas of light and star -terraces" you so nobly describe, t proserve you still for ninny years to your country, the wo and the Konen itself, in undisturbed freshness both of y sod soul. This is the sincere wish of your entirely devoted, Albert.' Upon this Humboldt remark. to Varnhagen that the Prince ' makes me speak of "circling seas of light and star terisces,"—• Coburg variation on my text and rate Ripka% from Windsor, where there are teething but terrace*? He then goe s on to state that need ar in the • Kma 'he used the word star.osapet,' for which the prince has substituted ' star-terraces,'—an offence which, we think, need not have been visited with any sews. rity. The Prima Coneort was evidently no favourite with Humboldt, who complains of him in this very letter foe his want of politeness towards him some years previously, when at Stolzenfels. On that occasion he says the Prince asked him to present a copy of the Km moo; which Humboldt, of course, did, and ' the prince,' he says, ' hail the politenmes not to thank me.' The ininen's letter to him he characterise* as ' a wooden, weak, emistku!—end he is even vexed at the 'Willie eendin3 him a 0 4 of Catherwoud's ' Views in Central Amenca'—' a says, that I purchased myself two years ago; • fine edition of Byron would have been far more agree able.' In all this we think the natural phikepher tart and crotchetty. A more suitable literary gift than Catherwood's ' Views' for a prince to make to such • traveller as Humboldt, • does not occur to our mind. How was the Prince to know that the Ia)• sopher would have preferred an edition of Byron Be thinks it singular, also, that no mention is made of the Queen in Prince Albert's letter, and concludes, quite gmtui tamely, as it appears to us, that it is became his ' book of nature' is not euffkiently Christian in its tone to secure her commendation. You see,' he says, how se. early I can judge when princes write.' In another letter to Varnhagen, to reply to one in which his come. epont objects to the severity of his strictures upon Prince Albert, he still ginla at the prince whom he calls ' the Man of the Star-Terraces,' and affirms, when he was with him et Stolsenfele, the prince remarked to him, ' I know that you have great sympathy for the suf. ferings of the Ruasian-frolee, which is a pity, for the Poles deserve our sympathy as little as the Irish.' Mihi ilizit !' he exclaims, and this is the beautiful husband of Great Britain's Queen!' We very much doubt the accuracy of Humboldt'* memory upon this point The words attrilsuted to the Prince Consort do not seem to be in his style. There is a vexation and unfair nem in all Humboldt's remarks upon the Prince that they will make his admirers regret that they s hould ever have been publiahed under his mime." EXTINSIVS IMPROVEMENTS IN NEWOATI-STRRET, —ln consequence of a conjoint arrangement between the Metropolitan Byrd of Werke and the City Commissioners of Hewers, an important improvement in the Tumidly thronged thoroughfare of Newpte-street is now being effected at a cost of several thousand pounds. During the last few days a number of workmen have been etogned in removing ten of the houses in Newgateedreet, King Edward-street, and Bull's-head-court, for the peep.e of widening the roadway. These improvement. will stretch from 77, Newgateetreet. on the western dole, eaetwersi to King Edward-street, and thence northward to Angel-street, St. Martin'teleOrand, the whole of which premises will he set back in a line with the newly-erected buildiuge in Newgate-street, lying westerly from the General Host-office. Sum Head-root will be destroyed, and the whole of its quadrangukr spice built upon, thus giving several thousand square feet to the public way, and so far facilitating the daily increasing traffics at present so ineufliciently provided for in this part of the City. ting.mieo AND HAMMING GOODS ON SUNDAT.—A I bill to amend the laws relating to the selling and hawking of goods on Sunday within the metropolitan police district and City of London and liberties thereof, brought into the House of Lords by Lord Chelnutfonl, has been printed.
