The Supplementary Treaty of Commerce be tween the United Kingdom and France has at length been given to the world. Its general cha racter and tenor were already known, and the trading community have now an opportunity of judging for themselves how far the details in which they are so deeply interested correspond with the description given of their scope and purport. Thanks to the enduring constancy of our distinguished Envoy at Paris, and, let us frankly add, the unswerving consistency and good faith of the French Minister with whom he had to deal, the despicable hindrances of jealou s an d . . . . _ _ narrow-minded men have at length been one and all surmounted ; and the vital interests of industry in France aid England see now for the first time happily united. Quit seporubit Nor should we forget how much we aro indebted to the contributive aid rendered to the principal negotiators at Paris by those on whose labours M. It 01:111111 and Mr. COBDEN had necessarily to rely in the manifold and diversified discussions over which they presided daring the last five months, and which may be said to have embraced an examination of the productive powers and capa bilities of the two nations. The name of M. DE POSCADI u Rootrerrs deserves particular mention cm the French side, as on mars theta Mr. Maxie; who was specially selected by the Board of Trade to represent that department, and than whom no abler or moss indefatigable representative could have been found. It is indeed an additional adillurance of the good faith and good intentions of the Imperial Government in this matter that the Ministerial portfolio vacated by the retirement of M. Maims should have bees oonferred on M. ni Ft/WADI Lk ROQVITTZ at the moment when the negotiations in which he was the daily collatorutetw of M. RUUD ID have been brought to a suooessful termination. His presence in the Cabinet is rendered all the more important in • commercial and financial point of view on account of the withdrawal of M. FOUL; whose experience, judgment, and caution have more than once contributed to the adoption of temperate and friendly counsels, when there was need of them. Happily it is of the essence of great international compacts like that now con cluded, that the better they are the harder they are to be broken, and that the longer they subsist without interruption the longer they are likely to endure. Herein they differ signally from the political juggles and military bargains, family com pacts, and secret afliancies which decorated diplomacy thinks skins worthy of its coxcomb care. They are contracts between industrious communities, communities that have a settled purpose and • great policy to work out by doing each other inestimable good, and by doing nobody any sort of harm. The more the reciprocal benefits thus promised shall be realised, the more difficult it will be to beguile or betray either side into words of anger, or acts of quarrel ; and so far from any thought of limiting such reci procation of bsoedte to those more immediately concerned, the very principle on which free-trade conventions fundamentally rest implies the expec tation and de in at the sphere of their opera tion shall be centinzally seeking for. expansion, until they shall have embraced all neighbouring nations that have energy to compete and courage to be free. And this brings us to the &beetles of two articles in the long list of enumerated articles dealt with by the Treaty. The omitted items are salt and rags. The inadequate supply of the former article has long been felt in Freibee, so muck so that the acquisition of certain mines by the annexation of Savoy was dwelt upon with peculiar satisfaction in the public discussion of that measure. At but sight it might appear that the omission was attributable to that circumstance. Such we have reason to believe, however, is not the case. The question of the supply and consumption of salt throughout France has been for some time, and is still, the subject of special inquiry by an administrative commission ; and until its isorestasettau shall have closed it would obviously be unreasosable to ex pect the Imperial Government to take any final decision on the subject. We venture to express oar conviction, however, that in this, as in so many other important matters of international trade, N Aro Lao is 111. will be better than his word. At present we export annually 692,000 tons of salt, chiefly the produce of the Cheshire mines ; and we could easily double the extent of that export if a demand were opened for it. As an article of freight in the ernes Channel trade, salt would be a valuable addition to the many items of bulk that are likely to require addi- tional means of banrport in 1 Treaty ; and oonsidering that of what is consumed i; process of evaporation doubt that, in pursuance length initiated, this universal food of rich and poor will ere long be , upon its proper footing on the other of the ChanneL With respect to the raw material for the menodentetre of paper, it is only neesusery to my that the French Government desire to have an opportunity of using it as a 11111111111111 of obtaining concessions in whetter. negotiations may be entered into with the leflen rein and Belgium ; and that by " the " favoured nation clause," we are certain to Ohl* all the advantages which they may thus Neap. They are under the impression, we believe, that should France permit the export of rags while other countries refuse to do so, the French manu facture of paper might be crippled by the want of the aliment it requires. In our view the appre hension is unfounded ; but we have certainly no right, considering the tardiness of our own national growth in free-trade principles, to dogmatize on this exceptional point with our neighbours ; and we have reason to trust that in this respect like wise another year of European peace will see the establishment of a complete commercial accord. Somarse had some difficulty in managing his wife ; and the Vics-Caanexthon of the ancient University of Cambridge, with the aid of Primrose and bull-dogs, finds himself in a serious contest with the milliners' girls of that town. Indeed, as I things at present stand, the caps and gowns have been worsted by the meaten and creatures of crinoline. It appears that a short time ago • lively youth, to celebrate the taking of his degree, issued invitations to a tea-party, dancing, and what is called " negus," at Shelford, a few miles out of Cambridge. The intended party was to consist of about four-and-twenty, ladies and gentle. men—twelve pairs. The ladies, instead of being selected from country families in the neighbourhood, or from those of the Heads of Houses, were chosen from the private circle of Ecru MRCP, a milliner girl, whose mother seems to be • respectable person, and to make her living by cooking. Errs Emrr had known the newly-created Bachelor of Arta some months, and she had distributed the cards of invitation to the other guests. The gen tlemen of the party were to be young collegians, and to proceed to the rendezvous in cabs. Both at Cambridge and at Oxford there are corresponding distririe--bearing the significant names of Barnwell and Jericho. It was from Barnwell that the party started for the evening's entertainment. And this fact, together with an anonymous letter, determined the Pewees., to put a stop to it. Accordingly, before the omnibus hired for the oomaion had got out of the town the PROMOS'; appeared. A well-known " musicisner, white-headed Boa," and the undergraduates, were ordered to get out, and the young ladies were driven off to the " Spinning-Home," where they were locked up—but, upon further inquiry, set free, after some days' imprisonment. In any other town except, perhaps, Oxford, this proceeding would have been impossible. By a special law, however, the Proctors at Cambridge claim the power of arresting any person, espe cially young women, " suspected of evil." It is certainly true that at none of the Scottish Univer sities does this power exist. But then it should be remembered that there is no sort of resemblance between Scottish Universities and those in England. In Scotland the students live with their parents, or with tutors, or sometimes in private lodgings. The University authorities are in no way responsible for the con duct of the student out of his lecture-room. But at the English Universities most of the Andante live within the college walls ; the college authori ties are responsible for the morals of all the stu dente, and the parents of the young men are dis tinctly given to understand that special care will be taken of the morals of their sons. For this purpose the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford have been entrusted with the somewhat anomalous and extraordinary poems which they ozonised in the case of Mr. Osc=ar and his young milliners. Nor can it be truly said that these powers have proved quite useless. Moreover the special juris diction has existed said has been exercised for several centuries. And there me probably few parents of any Oxford or Cambridge man who would in these days be willing to do anything which would really impair the ability of those who bear rule in the University to protect impetuous youths against the temptation to the indulgence of the most imperious of human passions. Put the circumstances to any sensible man. Imagine a middle-aged old gentle man seated at breakfast with his wife behind the tea-urn and four blooming daughters at his aide— jest after family prayers. Tell him that his son at Cambridge has had a party of eleven of his friends and a dozen milliner girls of the town, at which they drank uegus and danced till midnight. Let the old gentleman be as charitable as Sr. Part himself it is hardly credible that he should suspect no evil. U the Psocroes, having the power to stop such an entertainment, were not to interfere in such a case, every sensible father of a family would be up in arms against the authorities for this neglect of pion-parental responsibilities. There is little doubt, therefore, that the public will concur with the jury in saying that the Psoerome did right in stopping the omnibus, and breaking up the Shelford party in the suspicion that it might lead to impropriety or even immo rality. But here our approval must cease. The Vics-Cnaticiazos may have been quite jus tified in suspecting EMIR KIST and her com panions in the first instance. But he ought then to have permed the inquiry. It certainly does appear that neither he nor the Proctors knew any thing of the girls or of their characters. This should have induced caution. Nevertheless, EMU Kea was at once committed to the Spinning-House for fourteen days. Before, however, that period elapsed inquiries had been made. The Vies- CE•xethioa himself admits that this girl bore a good character, and being so satiated he ordered her release. It is cled then that the Vics-Cnix- althea acted hastily. If he had only made the inquiries which he made subsequently, he would have found out ilia mistake. The opinion of the jury—which wee yesterday morn ing confirmed by the admiasion of the Uni versify authorities themselves, insomnia as they I consented to raise the damages from 40s. to 251. —is dearly this, that the Vion-Cainestuis and the ?seeress were wanting in discretion. The trial in Westminster-hill, however, does I not deal with all the questions which the arrest of Emu Kant rains. Attention having been drawn in the first instants to the manner in which the authorities of Cambridge University exercise their' powers, the inquiry is now heard whether those ' powers are in their present extent and reach really necessary for the maintenance of order in the University. It is readily conceded that, in order to keep up discipline in accordance with their tacit engagement with the wants of the students, well imglis reconsidering. Exits ICArtr is not the first ilisiatiff we have lately seen in our courts com plaining of the interference of 'the University, and she will not be the last. It seems that funds are forthcoming for such prosecutions, and that a civic feeling of dislike to clerical role, a feeling as old as our history, prompts a portion of the local public to support them. The con trol which the PROCTORS and the VICE-CHANCELLOR claim to exercise over the students is self explained, but that which they exercise over the people of the town ought to be justifiable by the clearest necessity, if it is to continue to exist. At present we have seen nothing adduced to show that the morals of the University could not be just as well sustained if the girls of Cambridge were left to be dealt with by the magistrates of that town. It may be that the borough bench would not always proceed on the principles by which Vine-Chancellors and Proctors are guided. Perhaps in this latest cue they world have thought that the proper person to punish was the graduate who got up the party, and not the girls who accepted his invitation. But certainly they would see that the interests of the town and of the University are one in requiring the disoour agement of incitements to vice and immorality, since what makes a University town dangerous to the morals of young men diminishes the gains of its tradesmen. The -civic authorities have the strongest motives for enforcing the laws against lewd women. We are far from wishing to crest* a prejudice against the authorities of the University for exercising a power transmitted from times when opinions and feelings prevailed with which this age has little sympathy ; but we very much doubt their ability to maintain that power in the present day, and we should be glad to know that they were devising methods for maintaining order in the University without resorting to expedients such as we have lately been made acquainted with, and which, even if necessary, will always be repugnant to public feeling.

It was also ascertained that the frigate possesses the necessary qualities for facing all weathers at sea."

MU farther Imuth4 d QM mm wu mmmed this Mr. impair, Mr. Lantos, aad Mr. Mathew were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Elerjeant ghee, Mr. Berjeant Hallam tine, and Mr. Thompson Chitty were counsel for tho defendant The final witness called for the defence was Mr. Lever. He deposed—l am member of parliament fur Galway, and carry on Wainer in London and Manchester. Witness denied the engagement with the plain. tiff, and said be pressed hi• service• upon him (the defendant). The defendant proceeded to say — My main object was to get • contract to carry the mail.. I went to Dr. Berwick with the plaintiff. He described Lim as a rich East Indian mesehant. I have no recollection of the conversation there. I did not know of the plaintin going to Southampton the first time. On the second is.. cation I had a trial trip and • luncheon. I gave him 151. He represented he could get some noblemen down to see the vessel, and that it would facilitate their getting the contract ; but he very much disappointed mo. The only person who came down was Sir Joseph Paxton, who was on his way to visit souse public wain. I let him have two 501., on his represen. tenon that the Home Secretary was about to return to him 100,0001. worth of property, and he wanted the money for Amps. I thought the statement feasible, but I declined to give him money. and I accepted two bills, which my broker discounted. Crow-examined—ln 18581 had three vessels of shout 409 tone.

On the 29th December, 1857, he was in Man chador. having•just mrived from the Baltic. 21r. fierjeast Ballantine objected to this line of examina tion. These was an action pending with reference to the Baltic. By Mr. Seymour—h is • matter of credit. On the 29th of Deeember I proposed that Parker should accept a bill for me for 984/. 15e., and that I would meet it at the time mentioned provided he did not owe me the money on the set tlement of his account. Mr. kierjesnt Ballantine said this matter was now the subject of arbitration. lidendant-1 don't know if the plaintiff has anything to do with the arbitration ; he had been seeking Mr. Parker. The Lord Chief Baron said he thought this transaction had nothing to do with the ease. Mr. Seymour said his crosmexamination was to the de. fondant's credibility. Defendant—Parker now owes me 1,4001. on the sale of • ship in the Baltic. I undertook in writing absolutely and unconditionally to MOS the bill at maturity. The hill was paid away to Mr. Moss, of Manchester. • Parker afterwards started an opposition line of Irish packeta. Just before be was about to leave for In t/mac Moss bad him arrested on the bill. I telegraphed to Moen where Parker was to be found. He was about to leave the country at the time. 1 new had a ship previous to March last called the American . Empire. I can explain that. I bought • vessel uiled the Prince Albert, and advertised her as the American Empire, but we chained our mind and retained her name. We had three Belgian ships, called the Prince Albert, Prince Leopold, and ospria in treaty of per. chase, and we intended to all them the British Empire, the Indian Empire, and the American Empire. We purchased the Prince Albert. I gave about 36,7001. for her, and expended between 6,0001. and 8,0001, on her fittinp. I said her to the company for 440001., sad I was paid for her in paper—the shares of the company. The Prince Albert and the British Empire, the Antelope, the Propeller, the Indian Empire, and the Pacific were my shim. The one I intended to call the American Empire now bean the name of Congress, and is now lying is the docks. All them ship were aimed in my pro. imam The American Empire was not then purchased. At Mae time of the publication of the prospectus I had not • ship called the British Empire. lam not aware that Shen was • ship el that name of 3,000 tons in existence. A committee of the House of Commons examined into the Galway contract, which was afterwards sanctioned by the House of Commons. I do not now hold shares in the company amounting to one-fourth of the whole stock. 1 have 70,0001. worth of ahem* and I put in 30 0001 . morn of borrowed money. The amount ot the capital is 500,000/. The company only took from me such vessels as they thought fit for the trade. 250 free shares were prorated to me for my personal am vim in getting up the company, and the losses sustained In work* she line. I sal • loser. The shares are weir* 101. pa shire. I lost 170001. the fi rst trip arose the Atlantic of the British Empire. I lost 4 the other ships ; the British Empire is now in the Victoria Docks. I received 27.7001. for the oonceesioe interests, and establish- It: c = I had nothing to do with drawing out the t of the company otherwise than as a director. I was not the seesatrrg director. I tram. feted everything, including kisses. It is false that I ever made • in the line. I have lost 40,0001 ., and received ,7001. I got no insurance for the damage to the British Empire. There is an item in the balance sheet of 13,9011. Ife. 5d for preliminary expenses. I did not make a claim of • shilling for preliminary expen ses. All I received for it was shares. They were given to me to make up my hues. 1 gut the ZO free shares in addition to the 27,7001. Previous to May, 1868, 1 had not mar= en business in London, having an office hare. My name in conuaxion with the Galway line tint became known in May or June, 1858. I did not then know Mr. Ennis personally. The Indian Empire was not under charter for India ; she was tendered. I could have had 40,0001. to send her to India, but I re. fruited 45,0001. I kept her back, believing the Galway line wouM prove more valuable. I received 2,000 L from the Midland Great Western Railway Compaq on as. count of the Prime Albert. About six months after I obtained the privilege of half fares. I obtained it throegh Mr. Stu. ling. Mr. Basis might or might not have panted the con osmium I can't exactly remember. The final arrangement with the railway company for giving me 2,0001. if the dim tams was done within a certain time was made in June or July a minute of the board; the only money I was the valuation of the ships. I was at the meet. ing of shareholders at the London Tavern in March last. I don't know that the chairman of the company said that I had been allowed out of the funds of the company for my losses, ire. I don't remember that he said the charge of 18,0001. included • portion of my interest in the line. Mr. Ennis did not promise me on the 30th May to continue the 11100011116011 of half fares for seven years.ll The letter produced is signed by me; I did not write it, or read it. (The letter woe put in. It was addressed by the defend. ant to Mr. Ennis, referring to Mr. Penis's promise of the conceasion, but as it required a stamp it could not be read, and the Lord Chief Baron objected to any examination of the defendaat on the subject.) Defendant—The letter is not in my handwriting, and I did not recollect it I have no knowledge of the person who signed the memorial ;it was of no use. The pinata same to me at my hotel at Charing-cross, and told me that lord Clanoarty wanted to see me. 1 went, but Lord Clancarty either could not or would not nee us, or was not at home. I went with him to Lord Gough's. but nothing came el it. I don't know if any of these great people— urbter)—viiiited the ship. Plainti ff had his letters ad- Burlinton Hotel, which obtained for huo answers, 17MMiterwar& found he did not live there. I don't think the plaintiff ever had the honour of taking the roe ehair on any of the occasions. I had luncheons (not ban quets) on board the ship. I can't remember that I ever had any conversation with the plaintiff about the articles of ansociation, or that he ever showed me a draft of them. (Defeedant was further examined and gave a general denial to the plaintiff's statement.) I Waal twice at Lord Kings ton's. He borrowed some money of me, and I never saw him afterwards. (Laughter.) Plaintiff once took um to see Mr. Edwin James, but he failed. By a J uror—i let the plaintiff have two 501, bills, and about 50/. besides. I have not bad a shilling back. I found We ykintiff was living in a 31.

Their conteuts had reference prim oipally to the prospect of obtaining a subsidy, the attain ment of which formed the bases of the two agreements elo tend into by the defendant with the plaintiff and Mr. Holmes. Copies of the agreements were also put in and read. Thin eke= the defendant's cue. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine summed up the defend ant's evidence, and Mt. Dien Seymour replied on the whole case. while t he learned counsel was proceeding with hi address, one of the jury made an observation which led Mr. Seymour to soy that be believed there was such a feeling on the part of some of the le 7 dead his client that he would elect to be nomuitod.
