Taz Southern and Mr. Lnicout and Mr. SEWARD have met, and after four haus' conference have patted to go their several ways. No one at New York seems able to affirm that any immediate result may be expected from their in terview. The more sanguine, who imagined that an adjustment of the differences of North and South might fairly be expected at the lint meeting of the negotiators, emphasize their disappointment by proclaiming the Conference a failure. And so it would be if this view of the condition of things were correct. But it remains to be seen how far the intercourse of the Northern and Southern statesmen has prepared the way for further pro posals. If it has done so in any considerable degree, then, although the date of a recon ciliation may be delayed, the Conference will not have been a failure. The de sire of both sections for peace has been manifested in an unmistakeable manner, and the two Governments will have to convince their several supporters that peace is not obtainable, and why, before they can restore the state of feel ing which existed before the recent meeting. It may be that those New York journals are right which predict that Generals Guam and S . must find a basis for peace before the negotiations can be resumed, though it would be rash to come to that conclusion on their imperfect information. But even in that case we shall look forward to an early renewal of overtire.. The end has not come, but we trust and believe it is in sight. Ma. Cox, the member for Finsbury, obtained leave on Tuesday evening to bring in a Bill to amend the Publio-house Closing Act, which was passed last session. Without opposing the intro duction of the Bill, the Houk SzcarrAßY contro verted the proposed amendment of the Act of last year, and did more than hint a doubt of any altera tion of a measure which he insisted had worked most beneficially both in the capital and in many large provincial towns. The grievance which Mr. Cox has taken up, though comparatively a small one in regard to the number of persons and interests it affects, is not unworthy of legislative attention, in so far as it affects some very hard-working, de serving, and necessary people. No one will be so fastidious as to complain of Mr. Cox's championship of such a cause ; a mem ber for Finsbury cannot but be brought into contact with many persona who have reason to complain of the Public-house Closing Act, and whose complaints it is his right and his duty to represent in his parliamentary capacity. And we take leave to suggest that he is far more fitly em ployed upon such useful and harmless tasks than in wafting his name to all the winds of European publicity as the Cox who sacrifices his " honour " able Friend" to his stern high sense of what is due to the honour of his country. The Public-house Closing Act, as our readers will remember, was directed more particularly, though not, as Mr. Cox considers, exclusively, against the gross and growing scandals of a certain quarter of London. The notorious nightly abomination of the Haymarket and its neigh bourhood was the exciting cause, though not the sole motive and object of the Act of last Session. No measure of sanitary reform or of police was ever more imperiously demanded by the public voice than that Bill for the prevention of a crying infamy which tainted the air of a central district of this capital, and disgraced the reputation of the whole country. The closing of those dens and stews of the Haymarket and its neighbourhood was a measure of public health and morals ; as much a sanitary measure as a bill fee the purification of the Thames or for the inspection of houses during a season of cholera. But, though the plague of the Haymarket was the cause of the Bill, it was not one neighbourhood, or one city only, that the Bill was intended to purge. The Haymarket neighbourhood was not treated as • "proclaimed die " trict " in Ireland ; the Ball for the correction of the nightly abuses of the Haymarket was made applicable to the correction of the nightly abases of other large tetras. And we gladly accept Sir (anus GSM's assurance that the gmesaal &dap tion of the provisions of the Act ham been &Mende* with immense advantages. Mr. Clog wens judicious or mistaken in treeitse VIP Act of Elusion as if it had been levellii wiedliar Wily* the Haymarket. Nor, perhaps, did he improve a statement that could not well be too simple or too short by airing his acquaintance with " the poet " Carper," and dragging in • perfectly needless and irrelevant allusion to the well-proWebed wrongs of the landed interest. The Publio-house Closing Aot in curing one sore, like so many other sweeping and sudden remedies addressed to special evils, has created another. It has done unmixed good in some infected districts ; but it has in flicted suffering and hardship upon that humble but indispensable and meritorious minority of the public!, who are obliged to be up end doing at hours when the majority are comfortably asleep. Such, for instance, are the cattle-drovers, the market gardeners, and others ooncerned in the marvellous organiastion of the food supply of a capital more populous than some kingdoms. Such, too, are • certain number of cabmen, who remain out all night, summer and winter, for the convenience of late and early travellers, and of other respectable members of society who do not ride in carriages of their own. The market-gardeners arrive in Covent-garden from an parts of the country round, a few, perhaps, loon after midnight, but many between one and four in the morning, precisely within the hours when, adder the Act of last mo no°, not only every public-house but every coffee house and place of refreshment is closed. So, too, the cattle-drovers who reach the heights of Isling ton in the small hours of the night, having be velled perhaps from thirty to a hundred miles and more without refreshment, are obliged to remain out in the cold without sip or crumb till four o'clock in the morning. The mem ber for Finsbury was good enough, moreover, to take "the gentlemen on the morning newspapers" under hie comprehensive wing ; but, with every isposition to be grateful„ we must decline to minister to his generous ambition, and to mix a real hardship with an imaginary one. We should be very happy to share Mr. Cox's exuberant patronage in company with our excellent friends the cattle drovers and the market gardeners ; but if the bon. member will excuse us,we don't ask him to get up in the House of Commons, and in the character of "an intelli , " gent and bard-worked gentleman," vicariously exclaim, " 0 I my country, what I suffer for thee." The cattle drovers end the market gardeners, and the night cabmen, are now suffering from the effects of an Act which wee certainly never intended to deprive them of just and necessary refreshment during their working hours. There was, in deed, an attempt to meet their case in the sth clause of the Act : unfortunately, that clause appears to have been found inoperative sod impracticable, or, at all events, indecipherable by the authorities. But our unsolicited protector weakens a good cause when, with what warrant we know not, he comes forward as the champion of the poor distressed gentlemen employed on the morning papers, and confounds their miseries with those of Covent-garden and Copenhagen-fields. Except that he gave the member for the Tower Hamlets, who probably has no victim of the Act among his constituents, an opportunity, of which he was not slow to avail himself, of pay ing homage to a particular journal, we are afraid that Mr. Cox threw his Bill overboard when be took the gentlemen employed on the morning papers in tow. For our own part, we beg both Mr. Cox and the Hour SnoirrAny ' to understand that we ask neither for the interfer ence of the one nor for the suggestions of the other. There is nothing that we know of to prevent any person employed upon any morning paper from taking whatever refreshment he may need at the office where he works. He cannot and need not seek that refreebment in a public house between the hours of one and four ; he may enjoy it at his own convenience on the premises. No doubt there are a few persons in all professions and trades who will always oomplrin of finding public-houses closed, even at the moat unhallowed hours. But the Legislature cannot be expected to alter Acts of Parliament most beneficial in their general purport and operation in order to accom modate the tastes of undomesticated persons who at three in the morning prefer a tap-room or a bar parlour, with spirituous gossip on the affairs of the nation, to the soc;ety of their wives or the comfort of their beds, Having said thus much pro doeso,we must add that Sir Gromaz GREY cha racteristically exaggerates the difficulty of enabling conditional licensee to be granted to the very few refreshment houses in certain localities which would be likely to compete for a profitable trade in supplying the wants of cattle drovers, market gardeners, and night cabmen. Surely the Hors SECRETARY'S fear of setting up monopolise in such a line of business is chimerical. On the other band, Mr. Cox diverts the sympathy of the House from his poorer clients by de tailing the losses of certain publicans whose confidence be enjoys. The House is well aware that many of the public-houses which the Act of last Session has closed between one and four in the morning were the nightly resort of ruf fianism and vice, not of honest wayfarers or working-men. At all events, it is no concern of Parliament to protect any oofiee-house keeper's " goodwill "; to take care that honest men do not suffer with rogues and vagabonds is enough.

The Emperor's speech strikes me as one of the most interesting he ever pronounced, and it offers a smaller surface to hostile criticism than any that I ever remember to have commented upon. There is in it nothing startling, nothing sensational, nothing threatening or offensive to any power in the world. The expressed desire for peace, if in some instances based upon views which may be thought too sanguine, appears to be sincere. Several reforms of capital importance are an nounced in decided terms, which, having regard to the government majority in the Chambers, shows that they are as good as carried. Free trade principles are repeatedly and emphatically as serted. Although the projected reforms do not comprise any extension of the liberty of the press or of the right of public meeting, I note with satisfaction the absence of the slightest hint that existing liberties are to be curtailed. His Majesty clings, it is true, to what he calls the "bases of the constitution," but gives not a word of encouragement to those reactionary advisers who would have him respond to the elec tion in the Charente Inf.trieure by restrictive mea sures. Neither does he echo the desire repeatedly expressed by many semi-official organs that the de bate on the address should be less complete than heretofore. I can take no exception to the terms in which the Emperor expresses the natural regret that his proposal for a congress was not accepted. The reason for that regret, sententiously given in these words, "The sword often cuts ques tions without solving them, and the only basis of a durable peace is the satisfaction re sulting from the accord between the conduct of sovereigns and the true interests of peoples," does not, as the context shows, mean that the Em peror expects war as a consequence of the refusal of the powers of Europe to meet in congress, but only that the solution given by the sword to the Sias wig-Holstein question is not satisfactory, and can hardly be expected to be final. That is a proposi tion which few politicians will be prepared to deny. The paragraphs on the Roman question add nothing to the information of which the world is al-eady in possession. They are evidently written with an arriere pensee, which it does not yet suit the Em peror's purpose to disclose. His Majesty echoes the official despatches which affirm that a difficult problem "has been" solved and that the kingdom of Italy, and the Holy See "are reconciled"—ignor ing the fact that the Holy See protests against the arrangement, does everything in its power to spite France, and will certainly not be friendly with Italy. It is satisfactory, however, to find the speech stating that the convention enables France to withdraw her troops from Rome, and there is not a word inconaisteiit with the Italian theory, that if the Pope continues obstinate to the end, the French army will, nevertheless, return home and leave him to his fate. The short paragraph relating to Mexico was, I have reason to know, pronounced, if not composed, with a full knowledge of the important news of the day, that serious negotiations for pesos are going on between the Federal and Confederate States of America on the bogie of the Monroe doctrine. Should these negotiations be crowned with suc- cess I apprehend that the "intelligence and energy' , of the Emperor Maximilian, to which the speech refers, will not suffice to maintain his new-fledged empire, more especially as the speech goes on imperturbably to say that " the French army of Mexico is returning to France." The sooner the better is, I am sure, the sentiment of the vast majority of Frenchmen, whose only desire is to leave Maximilian, the Mexican people, and the North and South Americans to settle the bearings of the Monroe doctrine among themselves. When the Emperor talks of "closing the temple of war," I give him full credit for having no intention to send an army of 300,000 men (and less would not suffice) to combat the Monroe doctrine on the American continent. The speech would, I have no doubt, have provoked a considerable rise in the Bourse, had not its effect been neutralised by the serious American news. As it was, Rents, after going down (for account) to WM. 50., recovered, for the close, to 67fr. 30c., with a rise of 10c. ; for cash it rose 15c. The only other important change was in Mexican stock, which was greatly affected by the news of the day, and fell fully 1 per cent.

THE PASSPORT SYSTEM BETWEEN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES. (From Um New York rimes, .Ton. 3L) The passport system between the United States and auras was inaugandad and sudoresdby oar soma- men* Immediately eft; the decision by Jodie Coui - sol, in December, releasing the rebel raiders. It was absolutely neoemary that the people on the other side of the lines should understand that we were determined to protect our bonier by whatever measures might be found mow eery—whether by military force, by restriotios upon intereourm by general legislation bearing upon their in• Weds, or by say other means. Neither the unexpected melopilen of the system, nor the abroption el it which it is understood is about to take place, can be looked upon as hasty or indiscreet measures. If, in an individual cam, marauders should break into one's ground from a neigh bouring estate, and if the neighbours, instead of being aroused to ► sense al justice, should only jeer at the party mailed and afterward harbour those who had wronged him, it would not be searprisiag if he adopted very peremptory mesiores toward all who attempted again to approach his premier from that quarter, and eobjeoted them to sash surveillance u was aryonary to prove their inteatime, amicable or otherwise. Bat if afterward he (mad that those who really powered the authority on the other side of the lima utterly disapproved of the deeds of the es salon* and themselves adopted all necessary pre mistime against incursions from their grounds, paahhed the culprits or pre them np to the aggrisva party, and otherwise " brought forth fruit. met for repeuteece," thes it would be perfectly proper to accept them 'otiose in the spirit which had induced them, sod show his appevoiation thereof by promptly withdrawing the smeshabulary force which had bees posted over against his Neighbour's estate, end abolishing the survellence which had been an imputation spinet his neighbour's hewer. Both courses would be proper, and the promptitude of action In either cam would not be a proof of haste or week. DIM, but at onoe of manly eelf-defeees and a spirit of om elettes. them the adoption of the passport system the eseadian authorities bays given signs of a pospoie to do justice and inhibit a f madly disposition. Tile governor-Renard, the provincial parliament, the judicial couris, have doe. all that could be demanded of them. A heavy provincial force has been placed on our frontier to preveat rebel raiding ; severe mimes have been istroduesd lute parliament spigot surtudillg ; the Minister of Finance has introduced in his budget a large Item to refund the money stolen at St. Albans ; and the judges of the Court of (NOW@ Bench at Toronto have given a decision de livering up the pirate Burley, who, at latest 'doges, was awaiting the final order from the governor .general for his extradition to this country. -- With these he* and this disposition on the other .Me, we are glad to hear that oar mahorities purpose the abo lition of the passport system, which bag wrought such heavy damage to Cenadiaa commerce, and me serionaly em barrassed intercourse between two nsighboaring oountries, which ought always to be on the most friendly terms. (From the Montreal Herald, Jan. V.) Our oorrespondsst at Quebec advises us of a report that the pverninest have news from Washington of the aboll. ties of the obnoxious pompon system, and of a desire on the part of the American authorities to meet the Canadian government is a friselly apirit. The news, we are 1111" will he reosived with satisfaction by the people of this esernhy, who have so other desire tbaa to ooatiaae sad promote the friendly intercourse which has heretofore existed between our neighbours and ourselves.
