We remark on it, because it is quite of a piece with his vote, for which he has been so frequently cen sured, on the "no confidence" motion. Mr. LIND SAY is the same man everywhere—an independent— not nominally, but really so. It requires no little courage for any man to differ from a whole meeting composed of the particular class in society to which he belongs ; but Mr, LINDSAY can do this, and we respect him for it. Had not his views, yesterday, have accorded with our own, our respect would have have been the same ; because they were founded on conviction: The conviction might have been erro neous ; but if grounds for it worthy of an honest and intelligent mind could be furnished, and if it could be defended against the opposition of all whom a speaker would naturally prefer to please, we must be proud of such a true Englishman. Mr. LINDSAY voted against the ejection of Lord DERBY'S Government after he had obtained from it such satisfaction on the main points re specting Reform, as an honourable man of business seemed sufficient. He refused then to be led into what he deemed a partisan vote. He was in consequence denounced by the regiment, under Sir W. HAYTER'S orders, as a weathercock ; but if he be one, the only wind which moves hint is that of truth. It is plain that the "gusts of popular applause" do not cause him to veer an inch. How easily, with his vast knowledge of shipping affairs, he could, had he pleased, have dressed up a speech to the taste of his audience yesterday. But no, nothing of the sort. lie was as thoroughly convinced now, that Free Trade was the best policy for England, as he was last June that Lord DEnny's con tinuance in office presented the best chani;o for Reformers; and nothing could move him. He would point to what he thought truth. A rather stiff weathercock—this member for Sunder land certainly. Effort enough was made to turn him on Tuesday—very strong indeed were the g, fists ; but to only one kind of breez9 would such a ' TIE 1 riSUN, LONDON Weathercock as I AI.. LINDSAY answer—to that of honest argument.. Heaven send us a few more such weathercockH. We have enough of quite another class, of th ose who respond most faithfully to the intimations e f party leaders. The Builders' Strike, 'we may hope, is at length over. Many may yet continue to defy common sense and famine, and to parade their allegiance to Mr. Secretary POTTER and committee despotism, but the real conflict is over. Short days and frost have lessened the demand for out-door labour ; and 'as employers have found a sufficient number of free men to carry on their work, they will no longer hire union slave-gangs. We cannot blame them. It is the boast of our QUEEN that she rules over the free; that all her service—in the army, the navy, in everything—is the service of the free ; and it ought to be the boast of English masters that their workmen are not subject to the lash of their own foremen, or to that of a secret and irresponsible committee. Never was a viler hoax practised on masses of honest men, too many of whom cannot even read, than that which persuaded them that the " odious document" was a badge of slavery. Those only are slaves who could not cordially accept it. It is odious, not to any honest work man coolly considering its plain terms; but it was and is odious enough to the NOBLES and POTTERS, from whose fatal power it would deliver their Imiserable tools. And what now have these unfortunates gained by their strike ? Their silly nine hours' movement they have of necessity abandoned ; working men throughout the kingdom were too industrious to sympathise with needless idleness, and sensible people understood at once that when there were too many labourers, as the nine hours' men alleged, the way to employ them was by cheapen• ing labour, not by raising its price to the em ployer. We do not, indeed, wish to see wages lowered ; but if they are at a higher rate then per mits the employment of all, there is no means for the unemployed to sell their labour, but that to which all must submit who have a larger stock of anything than they need—to lower its price. It is a hard alternative. But between that and finding other occupation there is literally nothing to choose. Nor can all the POTTERS and NEWTONS in the world change this law of labour. Sympathy with men fighting with masters has obtained from work men all over the kingdom a scanty pittance in ad dition to the miserable dole allowed the turnouts by their clubs ; but even this cannot last long ; and while it has lasted it has carried the poor wife's furniture and clothing to the pawnbrokers, and, alas ! too often the poor half-starved child and its mother to the grave. Serious is the guilt of the leaders of this movement, as seen in the homes of their unhappy dupes. They have pretended, in deed, to throw the blame on the masters. That cannot be. Those who suffered families to starve rather than give up club rules which they could repeal at any hour, rules for compliance with which one of their number now lies in prison, rules in de fiance alike of law and reason—these are the men against whom the charge must lie, that they ha're sacrificed the lives of the innocent to the pride and tyranny of the leaders. It is ton late now to remedy the worst of the mischief. The homes of hundreds, perhaps of thou :muds, are marred for a long dark winter. There will be neither the food, nor warmth, nor neatness, nor family comfort which there might have been. All has been sacrificed, because the 'proprietors of those homes had sold themselves into slavery to a Union. Had each of them stood alone in the in dependance of an English freeman, he would have gazed long on his wife and family before he would have sacrificed thirty or five and thirty shillings a week to fight with the inexorable laws of political economy. From actual conversation with men, we know that some at least obeyed only through fear. The compulsion for resorting to which PERHAM has been justly convicted—though we could wish him, as the first, to be warned, and not the whole penalty inflicted—this compulsion has been the only known reason why thousands have submitted to starve. Terror has done its work. But its victims would have been wisp and happier had they thrown up all the advantages of these clubs, and secured the greater advantages of regular work under some deserving master. But this brings us to the point which we had in view in commencing this article. The masters have no doubt suffered much, still we would re spectfully suggest to them, whether now is not the time to triumph by generosity. We do not ask them to abandon the document. The man who does not agree with its principle is not worth a master's having; it has become a necessary test. But we do want them to lend a helping hand to those who sec through the folly, and perhaps chicanery of the Union leaders, and who prefer the work and wages of freemen.: Their error is surely venial. Their repentance of it should, as far as possible, restore to them all the just advantages they hoped for from their Unions. Now is the appropriate time for the masters to institute for their men a society which should confer all the pecuniary advantages of Unions on their men, without any of the sad drawbacks by which the Unions are distinguished. We cannot now be expected to sketch even the rules of such a society, but some leading principles strike us as important. The men should be volun tary subscribers, and managers of the whole funds ; it would not otherwise have their confidence or bo their society. The masters should, however, sub scribe, and largely too, if they can afford it ; they might perhaps reasonably ask in return, a fair inspec tion and auditorship, to see that their money was not wasted. There might not be much objection, as the men seem to value it much, to a fair amount of assistance to men on tramp—journeying in search of work; but the main object should be relief in sickness, or when laid aside by accident ; perhaps, also, when funeral expenses aro incurred ; though this latter advantage has been fatally abused. Details are for masters and men to arrange ; but we should like to see a frank and kind hearted movement on the part of the masters to encourage providing against want and sickness ; and to prove that they warred against Union tyranny, not against industrial providence. Surely a splendid society might be got up if masters did but feel that in permanently - subscribing to it—or even, if they liked, endowing it by will—their money would not be diverted from charity to nursing strikes, which cause greater distress than any charity can meet. The majority of masters, are, we are persuaded, benevolent men, interested in their workmen's comfort. We imagine they have now a noble opportunity to show their benevolence. llcr Majesty and his Royal Highncss the Prince Consort, and the younger members of the royal family, leave Windsor Castle, according to present arrangements, on Tuesday next, the Gth proximo, for Osborne, to pass a fortnight at the royal marine residence. • Their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Fre deric William take their departure from Windsor Castle on Saturday next, on their return to Berlin. _ .

The Moniteur says :—" On his return to Paris after signing the treaties of Zurich, Baron Bour queney, first plenipotentiary of the Emperor in the late negotiations, expressed the desire to be allowed to retire from active service. M. de Bourqueney, who has represented his Majesty's government at Vienna for five years, and participated as second plenipotentiary in the labours of the Congress of Paris, had previously fulfilled important missions at London and Constantinople. During the whole course of his distinguished career, the baron has never failed to give proof of qualities of character and intellect most calculated to inspire confidence, and' to impart that authority which is so necessary to men who have to treat in powerful courts in the name of a great country. The Emperor's govern ment had hoped to have long at its disposal such faithful and eminent services. It could not, how ever, do otherwise than admit the considerations of a private nature which have determined the baron thus to resolve on a premature retirement, and the Emperor, though regretting that resolution, has graciously consented to it. Baron de Bour queney, having been raised to the dignity of se nator after the peace of Paris, will still be able to take part in public affairs, and we are happy to think that his devotedness and experience will not be lost to the Emperor's service."

Slll, —I shall be glad if you will allow me to suggest, through your columns, the formation in London of a "Rifle Volunteer Club," afford ing the accommodation of London clubs, and to be composed of members of Rifle Volunteer Corps, and also of officers, on full or half pay, of the army or navy services. I suggest the latter class of members, as there are doubtless many of them desiring a club, very desirable as associated members with the volunteers, but who, in the or dinary course of balloting, would have to wait a long time for it. The present opportunity for a good club among volunteers is one, I venture to think, which seldom Occurs. The club would not merely be a good social in stitution but would also be a centre point . in the matter of volunteering, and would also be of great use in promoting the movement. I think a distinction in the amount of entrance and subscription between town and country resi dents would secure many members from the country. If any London volunteers who may read this, and approve' of the project, will be so good as to communicate upon it with the several metropolitan corps, form a provisional committee, and convene by circular or advertisement a meeting in London of such volunteers who may be able to attend, the thing might be started with every prospect of success. My name, &c., is enclosed with this, in case I should be called upon to assist. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A PROVINCIAL VOLUNTEER. 111BE7ING OF PARLIAMENT.

Wm. L. BATHURST. SOUTILEASTERN RAIL WAY. The South-Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of £1,700. The proposed ar rangement between this company and the London, Chatham, and Dover continues to be regarded with great interest by the shareholders. Some two years and a half ago, when the South-Eastern were earn ing only 31- to 4 per cent. per annum, and when their position and prospects were by no means so good as they are now, that company offered to gua rantee to the East Kent, for five years, a rate of dividend 1 per cent. less than that on South-Eastern Stock : at the expiration of that period South Eastern and East Kent stocks were to rank alike as regards dividend. The proposal was not closed with. Now, a considerable difference is observable in the ,Telative position of the two companies, The traffic of the South Eastern is• experiencing a rapid development, and this from sources which, being local, are solid, because independent of continental disturbance. Their branches and guarantees, including, more .espeeially, the Reading, Guild ford, and Reigate line, now show results of a more promising 'character. Again although the company are threatened with competition to Dover, there is some prospect that the facilities for the conveyance of the mails by the Folke. - 1 stone route, where the company are exempt from rivalry, may be materially increased, one of the projects under consideration with this view being the formation, at moderate expense, of a breakwater at Folkestone. That the regularity of service incidental to a mail route will attract pas senger traffic does not require demonstration. Whilst the prospects of the South Eastern Company are held to be thus reasonably reassuring, it is not overlooked that the capital of the East Kent Com pany is some half a million larger than at the period when the offer cited was made, and the force of their antagonistic attitude was impaired by the deficiency of their finances. It is notorious that they have been unable to place the whole of their capital, the position of which in the share list cer tainly does not indicate financial strength. Meanwhile the South-Eastern, who are, it is said, about to declare the largest dividend ever paid by them, are steadily moving up to a higher financial groun I, from which they will be still better able to repel the threatened opposition. These considera tions cannot fail to have a bearing upon the nego tiations now pending between the two companies. A fusion is undoubtedly, in the interest of both, most desirable. The South-Eastern must be anxi ous to consolidate their position, whilst the London, Chatham, and Dover will assuredly fare the better if working in harmony with, instead of in op pOsition to, their powerful neighbour. The pre sent week will peobably show whether moderate counsels preside at the respective boards.—Daily News. CHINA, JAPAN, AND THE EASTERN ARCIIIPE LAGo.—Mr. Tweedie has published a map for issue with the "London and China Telegraph," which points out the telegraph lines to India, and the proposed lines to China, Java, and Australia. The new porte in China and Japan, the Taku forts, Russian boundary, the proposed canal across the Isthmus of Kraw, and other interesting features are distinctly marked, THE TREATY BETTFEEN FRANCE AXI) AUSTRIA. The Moniteur of yesterday, in addition to the treaties already published, gives the text of the treaty concluded between France and Austria. It is as follows : " His Majesty the Emperor of the French and his Ma jesty the Emperor of Austria, desirous of putting an end to the calamities of the war, and to prevent the renewal of the complications which gave rise to it, by contributing to erect on solid and durable foundations the internal and external independence of Italy, have resolved to convert into a defi tive treaty of peace the preliminaries signed by their hand at Villafraßca. [Here follow the names and titles of the Zurich Plenipotentiaries.] "Art 1. There shall be in future peace and friendship between his Majesty the Emperor of the French and his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, as also between their heirs and successors, their respective States and subjects, for ever. " Art. 2. All prisoners of war shall be immediately re turned on both sides. "Art. 3. To attenuate the evils of war, an exception is made to the general law, and all Austrian vessels captured, not yet condemned as prizes, shall be restored. " The vessels and cargoes shall be restored in the same state as when taken, after payment of all expenses, charges, &c., incurred by their capture, and on payment of the usual allowance to th 6 captors (fret acquis aux capteu fs); no indem• nity can be claimed on account of prizes sunk or destroyed ; nor for the loss of merchandise oven not condemned as prize property. 44 It id also understood distinctly that all decisions given hold good. [Art. 4 declares the cession of Lombardy to His Majesty the Emperor of the French, with the de taili given in the two treaties already published.] " Art. 5. His Majesty the Emperor of the French de clares his'intention of handing over (reinettre) to his Ma jesty the-King of Sardinia the territories ceded by the pre ceding article. " Art. 6. The territories still occupied in virtue of the armistice of the Bth of July last shall bo reciprocally eva cuatefl by the belligerent Powers, the troops of which will retire immediately beyond the frontier line stipulated in Art. 4. [Arts. 7 to 17 inclusive are verbatim the same as those already published in the treaty between France and Sardinia, relative to the settlement of the financial points between the two countries, and the money indemnity to be paid to Austria and France.] " Art. 18. His Majesty the Emperor of the French and his Mitjesty the Emperor of Austria engage themselves to favour with all their efforts the creation of a Confederation between the Italian States, to be placed under the honorary presidency of the Holy Father, and the object of which would be to maintain the independence and the inviolability of the Confederated States, to assure the development of their moral and material interests, and to guarantee the internal and external safety of Italy by the existence of a federal army. " Venetia, which remains placed under the Crown of his Imperial, Royal, and Apostolic Majesty, will form one of the States of this Confederation, and will participate in the obligations as well as in the privileges (droits) resulting from the federal pact, the clauses of which shall bo deter mined by an assembly consisting of representatives of all Italian States. " Art. 19. As the territorial deliminations (circonscrip tions) of the independent States of Italy which took no part in the late war cannot be changed except with the sanction of the Powers that presided at their formation and acknowledged their existence, the rights of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, of the Duke of Modena, and of the Duke of Parma are expressly reserved between the high con tracting parties. " Art. 20. Desirous of seeing the tranquillity of the States of the Church and the power of the Holy Father assured ; convinced that such object could not be more efficaciously attained than by the adoptoin of a system suited to the wants of the populations and conformable to the generous 'intentions already manifested by the Sovereign Pontiff, his Majesty the Emperor of the French and his Majesty the Emperor of Austria will unite their efforts to obtain from his Holiness that the r . ecessity of introducing into the Ad ministration of his States the reforms admitted as indis pensable shall be taken into serious considerations by his Government. " Art. 21. With a view to contribute by every effort to quiet the public mind, the high contracting parties declare and promise that in their respective territories, and in the lands restored or ceded, no individual compromised by the recent events in the Peninsula, no matter what his rank or position in society, shall be prosecuted, annoyed, or troubled, in person or property, on account of his conduct or political opinions. " Art. 22. The present treaty shall be ratified, and the ratifications exchanged within ono fortnight, or earlier if possible. In faith of which the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed it and fixed their seals thereunto. " Deno at Zurich on the 10th day of the month of No vember of the year of grace, 1859. " BOURQUENEY.

The Government of his Majesty the Emperor of the French engages itself towards the Government of his Im perial, Royal, and Apostolic Majesty to make, on account of the new Government of Lombardy, which will guarantee its repayment, to pay to it 40,000,000 florins (conventions mune), stipulated by the 7th article of the present treaty, in instalments, as follows : "Eight millions of florins shall be paid cash, by a bill on Paris, without interest, en the expiration of the third month dating from the dayon which the present treaty was signed, •nd which will be handed to the Plenipotentiaries of his Imperial, Royal, and Apostolic Majesty when the exchango of ratifications takes place. " The payment of the remaining 32,000,000 florins shall take place at Vienna, cash, in ten successive instal ments, to be made every two months, by bills on Paris, each of 3,200,000 florins. The first of these payments will be made two months after tho payment of the bill of 8,000,000 florins above stipulated. For that date, as for the other following, the interest will be reckoned at 5 per cent., dating from the first day of the month which will follow the exchange of the ratifications of the present treaty, " The present additional article shall have the same force and value as if inserted vet bairn in the treaty of this day.

The reinforcements despatched to the China sta tion, since the news of the Peiho disaster reached us—now 11 weeks since—as detailed in our naval and military intelligence, now amounts to one frigate, of 51 guns ; three screw-sloops, of 14 to 21 guns • five, of 4 and 6 guns ; three paddl e - w h ee l frigates, of 6 and 16 guns ; and one troop-ship, of 8 guns ; making a total force of 166 guns, in addition to which nine gun-boats have sailed. All these vessels take an extra number of marines. The Simoom took 460 men, of the Royal Artillery, Engineers, &c., with a very full complement of officers. A large quantity of shot, ammunition, stores, &c., have also been shipped by hired vessels. The steamer Thunder is now load ing, and tenders are now out for other steamers for the conveyance of stores and troops ; but with the exception of the handful o f t roops per S i moom, none have sailed. If our G overnment really intend operating against the Chinese, the delay is very reprehen si bl e , an d t h e only solution we think that can be given is, that opinion on the matter in the Minist r y diff ers. It i s of the most vital importance that the forces should be in the Gulf of Petchili by the first of May, to secure the two coolest summer months for the campaign ; and as vessels at this season of the year, with the north-east monsoon in the China sea, will take 100 to 120 days for the passage to Hong Kong, and as we are now at the end of No vember, it will be seen that not an hour is to be lost, as of course some delay must necessarily take place at Hong Kong before the men can be re-em barked for the North. In reference to troops from India, the only result we know to the cry of " 10,000 me n go i ng t o China" is, that fifty men have volunteered from the ranks of the malcon tents who claimed their discharge from her Ma jesty's Indian army.—London and China Telegraph. The Moniteur de I'4l rinee states that the French Government have purchased the steamer European, of 2,300 tons, Nvith the intention of employing her as a transport. This vessel originally belonged to the-European and Australian Company. ------- THIS ,_EIVS ER0.211 11_101?0CCO.
