We cannot but feel that it is suggestively instructive as well as singularly enter taining to note the comi ne -, and-goings amongst us of these men from the far East before they take their departure from our shores. And beyond that Right of search conceded by Americans—mutual of course—England never asked it on any other terms—but on these terms the Americans have, hitherto, always refused it. We have assuredly to thank Secession for this. We question whether Mr. LINCOLN himself dare have signed such a treaty, but for the present relations between the North and the South. We may be perfectly certain that the Senate would not have ratified it unanimously, had ;he representatives of all the slave states been in it. The " breeding states," like Virginia, are of course opposed to a trade which tends to depreciate the Value of their principal article of commerce, but the planting states naturally took quite the other view. They wanted cheap slaves. Above all the idle " mean whites," who constitute the majority of the Southern " aristocracy of skin," and whose votes returned Senators and Representatives to Congress, were eager to reopen the slave trade ; it was their avowed object that " niggers might be so cheap, that every white man might be able to wallop his own nigger." The new Southern constitution in deed embodied the prohibition of the slave trade ; but it was carefully and cleverly done in the form which should compel the Border States to join the Confederacy. The Border States, Virginia, Ken tucky, Tennessee, and Missouri, were then thought by the original seven seceding states, to be their main bulwark—both DAVIS and LINCOLN then bid for them. LINCOLN has conquered three out of he four—but Virginia still remains to the South— and the prohibition of the African slave trade in favour of the home-bred negroes was a part of the original purchase money. But even with the Southern senators self-excluded from the Congress, the vote accepting the LYON SEWARD Slave-Trade Treaty, as the Americans term it, is very remarkable. It shows a prodigious change indeed in American feeling. For two rea sons such a treaty would have ruined the political prospects of its authors but a few years ago. One, that to grant to Great Britain the right of search, even in the most suspicious cases, would not have been endured. It had become, in American minds, identified with our old demand to take our sailors out of any American ship into which they bad escaped, or hired themselves, vi et armis. This was, of course, folly on their part, but it had be come a grand national watchword. And long after that dispute had passed away, we have endeavoured in vain to obtain the right in regard to vessels hoisting the American colours to cover the accused slave-trade. Another reason which would have made the acceptance of such a treaty by the Senate difficult, was that the moneyed men of the North were on the side of the slave-traders. New York chiefly was answerable for the ships and capital with which the trade was carried on. Religions and polite Boston, the city of WILLIAM ELLERY CANNING himself, took, it is said, its share also. The feeling of the moneyed classes of the North was shown in their strenuous efforts to save the wretched slaver captain, whom LINCOLN exe cuted unrelentingly a few weeks back. Great therefore must be the change which has sent us the information that a Senate, composed so largely of Northern men, unanimously passed a treaty on the slave trade, which Mr. LATARD could declare, in our House of Commons, to be entirely satis factory. We await with some interest the publi cation of the treaty itself, which will take place as soon as the ratifications are exchanged. On the whole, it will not be denied that the North is improving its position with the haters of slavery, which is as much as to say, with all Englishmen. We have amongst us those who dislike, as well as those who approve, her demo cracy ; we have those who could condescend to be irritated, as much as others are amused, by American swagger, bullying, and fire eating, in the be haviour of the great Republic towards other countries, and especially towards the old monar chies in Europe; but all Englishmen were of one mind respecting American slavery. We not only abhorred the institution itself, not only could have no fellowship with slaveholders, but we loathed the selfishness and hypocrisy of the Free their countenance given iSntataensyofwtahye toN North, in ery—in their mean submis sion to slaveholding rulers—and in their signalising their love to slavery by keeping the district of Columbia a slave state, and treating the free blacks in the North with even more con tumely than the slaveholders did their negroes in the South. boats. The change in the North is, we are aware, one of policy rather than of feeling. The truth is, the North is becoming every day more and more con vinced that while the South has slaves to fight for, fight it will ; and that it is hopeless now to think of reuniting to the North a large body of slave States. This was Mr. LINCOLN'S and Mr. SEWARD'S policy as long as it seemed practicable. At length they became convinced that consistent freedom could be the only permanent bond between federal republics—then LINCOLN gave the word to offer to emancipate the Border States with compensation. The emancipation of the district of Columbia fol lowed. Now we have made the Slave-trade Treaty; and there are, at this time, a host of bills before Congress, proposing more or less energetic action on the subject of slavery. The South is at least conquering the North on one point—it is driving it to Abolitionism. When this result is fully at tained, then, indeed, we should not be surprised if impatient Europe broke the blockade—broke it in the interest at .once of commerce and of the aboli tion for ever of negro slavery. What of the great war P—our readers are, per haps, impel iently asking. We are sorry to say that all the last arrivals indicate no progress worth recording. The South being on its defence only has no progress to make. To hold its own is its progress. The North has not, since our last notice of its position, taken a single Southern fort or work, or even made a move in advance. The army of the Potomac, now in one large division before York town, and two smaller ones under BANKS near Gordonsville, and M'DowELL st Fredericsburg, still occupy their old positions. Some Federal gunboats have ventured, notwithstanding their fear of the Merrimac, to aid ITCLELLAN, but their shells did no ham to the Confederates. In the West also near and on the Mississippi, all remains yet with out movement. BEAUREGARD is still strengthening himself at Corinth ; HALLECK and the Northern generals combining and strengthening themselves for a final effcet to drive him away, and the clever General MITCHELL " the astronomer," whose book is well known here, holds the hundred miles of railway by by which he cuts off the Eastern from the 'Western Confedergo.

Collis, the Swedish and Norwegian Consul. His Highness went to the Queen's Hotel, in the Consul's carriage, apartments having been secured for him there, and in the evening the Prince visited the Town-hall, where a bazaar is just being ' held on behalf of the Queen's Hospital; later in the even ing he paid a visit to the Grammar School of King Edward VI., where he found a large company on the occasion of an amateur concert by the pupils. This morning his Royal Highness went to some of the principal manufactories. Among them were Messrs. R. W. Winfield and Son, braes-foudery ; Mr. Gillott's steel-pen works; the Birmingham Plate-glass Company's Works at Smethwick, where his Royal Highness witnessed the pro cess of manufacturing some immense sheets of plate-glass ; also Messrs. Lloyd and Strnmerfield's glass works, where some new processes of melting glass were explained to him. A visit was also paid to Messrs. M'Callum and Hodgson's papier-mache works, and to Mr. Collie's works, where the process of electro-plating was shown. There, a comme morative medal was struck. On the obverse was the por trait of the Queen; the reverse bore the following inscrip tion :—" Struck in commemoration of the visit of his Royal Highness Prince Oscar of Sweden to Birmingham, May 9, 1562." From Mr. Collis's, his Royal Highness returned to the Queen's Hotel to luncheon, and shortly afterwards left by the London and North .Western line for Crewe, where the Prince will inspect the company's works, under the gui dance of Mr. Ramsbottom ; he will afterwards go on to Bangor to see the bridges in that locality—those great works in which the skill and genius of Telford and Stephenson are fully displayed. Before departing from this town his Royal Highness, through Mr. Collis, presented Mr. Scott, of the Queen's Hotel, with a donation of £lO in aid of the funds of the Queen's Hospital. His Excellency the Swedish and Norwegian Minister had the honour of entertaining at dinner, on Thursday,at the residence of the legation, in Stratton-street BRUSSELS, MAY 10. The Moniteur Beige of this morning says : " According to a bulletin sent from the Palace of Laeken yesterday evening, the pulmonary affec tion from which the King is suffering has taken a favourable turn, and the general state of his 'Ma jesty is more satisfactory." his Royal Highness Prince Oscar, his Excellency the Danish Minister, Viscount Palmerston, Earl Russell, Lord Clarence Paget, Sir Edward Cust, Sir Hamilton Seymour, Admiral Washington, Captain Falbe, Colonel Kingscote, Count Cronstedt, Lieut. Robin, Mr. Charles Dille, and Mr. Dasent. ST. PETERSBURG, MAY 9. The Journal de St. Petersbourg of to-day pub- lishes an imperial ukase ordering the State Bank to exchange notes for gold and silver on and after the 3th inst. The Marquis of Bowmont has arrived at the Clarendon Hotel from Floors Castle, Kelso, N.B. The Countess of Kinnoull's dancing parties are fixed to take place on the 2d and 9th of the next month. Viscountess Palmerston will give her second assembly this evening at Cambridge House. The price of specie in exchange of bank notes is to be gradually reduced until it reaches the nomi nal value. For the present gold half- imperials are to be exchanged for 570 copecks, and the silver rouble for 110 copecks paper currency. The Hon. Charles Murray, British Minister al Dresden, has arrived at Claridge's Hotel. Lady Caroline Kerrison has issued cards for an assembly on the 20th instant at her residence in Piccadilly. Sir James and Lady Ann Mackenzie have arrived at Claridge's Hotel for the season. Mr. and Madame Sabatier have left the Claren don Hotel for Paris. In the month of August the price of gold is to be 560 copecks, and that of silver 108 copecks. Further reductions in the price of bullion are to be announced by an imperial decree. FRANCE. PARIS, MAY 9. Mr. and Lady Louisa Cotes have arrived at their house in Grosvenor-street for the season. DEATH OF Mns.

The Patric of this evening states that the French fleet will prolong its stay at Naples during the pre sence of Prince Napoleon in that city. The decision of the Senate on the petition sent in by the Archbishop of Rennes is remarked on by several of the Paris journals; their appreciations, of course, being a reflection of their political opi nions. The Constitutionnel expresses itself in these terms : "M. Billault examined the question from an elevated point of view, as a statesman should do; he firmly maintained the right of nomination conferred by law on the first functionary of the department. He showed the necessity of main taining prerogatives which have no other motive than that of order and peace in society ; M. Billault pointed out the evil precisely when he de clared that the decree - of 1852, which then served the Government as a means of arresting disastrous en croachments, now enables it to oppose exorbitant pretensions. The liberty of instruction is not in question ; for in the commune of Sel itself there exists a free school of religious brothers for boys, and another held by women for girls ; that which is demanded is consequently not liberty, for it already exists ; it is simply the municipal subven tion. ' Those who fan the flame,' said the Minister, ill understand the sacred interests which they believe they are serving.' The effect of the speech in the Senate was immense, as it will be through out the country."

A deputation from the executive committee of the Social Science Association, charged with the con duct and management of the coming conference to be held in London, yesterday waited upon Lord Palmerston, at Cambridge-house, Piccadilly, to call his attention to the existing state of quarantine and practices in their effect upon international and cotn mercial intercourse. The deputation consisted of Lord Talbot de Malahide, president of the public health department of the association ; Dr. Milroy Dr. Lancaster, Dr. Lewes, Mr, Stephen Cave, M.P. and Mr. Hastings. Lord TALBOT DE MALAHIDE introduced the deputation, and explained its object. He stated, that, in 1858, the committee appointed by the House of Commons forwarded queries upon the subject of quarantine regulations to all the principal ports of the world—a task in which they were helped by the Foreign end Colonial Offices. To those queries they had, through the agency of the consuls at the several ports, obtained a large number of replies, ' and in them a large amount of information, upon receiving which they drew up a report, which had been presented to the House of Commons and ordered to be printed. In that report they recommended that the Government should send a commission to the Mediterranean, and to the prin cipal continental ports, to inquire into the actual quarantine regulations, and the effect of them ; and, secondly, that Government should annually lay upon the table of the House a statement of all the information upon the subject commu nicated to them by the consuls. It was the desire of the Social Science Association that these recommen• dations should be carried out, as they were convinced that information would show that the quarantine system was open to very many grave objections, and often unnecessarily opposed the development of international and commercial intercourse, without affording any adequate protection to the public health. Mr. CANE, M.P., and other gentlemen having similarly expressed themselves, Lord PALMERSTON said he was quite aware of the great inconvenience of quarantine regulations, and, so far as this country was concerned, was de sirous to abolish them altogether, but foreign Governments were not so enlightened as to allow even of this relaxation; but were it otherwise, they could not, he believed, attempt any such re- form, so liable were the people of other countries, through an ignorance of sanitary laws, to sudden panics in respect to epidemic diseases. Some people, however subjected to the annoyance, seemed to like it. For instance, Mr. Frere, when he went to Spain, was placed in the Lazaretto, under the quarantine regulations, and immediately set to work to make himself comfortable, and for his amusement com menced the translation of a Greek play. When the days of his purification were expired, the authorities waited on him, and announced that he was at liberty to retire, which he refused to do until he finished the play, which was probably the "Prometheus Vinctus." At all events, the subjlet should have the earnest attention of her Majesty's Government. The deputation, having thanked his lordship, then withdrew. PARTIAL 2 0 POISON. We have most of us hitherto been in the habit of looking upon strychnine as a deadly poison. We shudder at the mere mention of t i ne word. We re member the Rugely tragedy, and see before us Palmer's wretched victim distorted in the agonies of tetanus. What does the reader say to a discovery recorded in the pages of the Pharmaceutical Journal, that there is a class of living creatures actually in existence who not only partake of this terrific poison habitually without injury, but who live upon it as their usual food, and thrive upon the diet? The living creatures who aie given up to this abnormal pastime of devour ing strychnine, and who may be regarded as the opium•eaters of the animal creation, are minute beings resembling those which will sometimes be come developed by the mouldy Stilton. They are. however, not common cheese-mites, but so different from them that, wh i n an attempt was made (to be presently alluded to) to induce some of the respect able cheese amateurs to change their diet for a. course of strychnine, the poor things died inconti nently as well-regulated mites might be ex pected to do. The unnatural mites, then, con cerning whose habits we have had these few words to say, were discovered by a gentleman of considerable chemical attainments, while engaged in a microscopic examination of certain efilorescences which appear on the - surface of medicinal extracts, " juices of plants concentrated to a semi-solid condition." Now, the most remark able thing about this was that the preparations themselves were of a nature which might reasonably have been expected to produce very injurious results upon animal life, while upon these mites they ap peared to exercise no evil influence whatever. Here were mites living upon extract of colocynth, which it must be admitted seems a rather choleraic diet, others upon taraxacum, and others yet upon strychnine, the extract of nux VOMiCa.—Dichens'a " All the Year Round." METROPOZITAN BOARD OP WORKS. The usual meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday at the office of the board in Spring-gardens, Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair. The financial statement was presented, which showed the total cash balances in the hands of the treasurer to be £59,946 2s 3d; Government securi ties, £69,892 5s lld ; checks ordered but not pre sented, £i8,273. The Chairman said he regretted to have to make any communication of a personal nature. His health had for some time been any thing but what he could desire, and on Thursday week previous he had consulted his medical adviser, who recommended that he should immediately ab stain for a time from all business. If he did not, the consequences would be of a most serious nature. The cause of his illness was anxiety and constant pressure on the brain, but he had himself to blame in the matter, as the members of the board had repeatedly and. kindly advised him to take this step, and he would have acted wisely had he taken ' such advice. A physician of high standing had confirmed the statement of his own medical adviser, and had urged strenuously the necessity of an im mediate change, and for at least two months a re lease from all anxiety and business. He must ask the indulgence of the Board to accord him time for that purpose. Mr. Tite,M.P.,said he had no doubt the Board would receive an announcement of so melancholy a nature with deep regret, for if at any time they needed the wisdom, prudence, and judg ment of their chairman, it was at present. He moved—" That this Board receives N%ith great re gret the Chairman's announcement of the state of his health, ca used in a great d egree b y h i s d evot i on to the public service, and hopes that his temporary release will prove effectual in his restoration to that career of usefulness which he has so long pursued with so much advantage to the Board and the rate payers of the metropolis." Mr. Bristow, M.P., seconded the motion. It was put and carried um.- mously, as was a subsequent resolution, " That it be referred to the Main Drainage Committee to make arrangements during the absence of the chairman." Various recommendations of the Building Com mittee were adopted. The board adjourned. THE MONTH OF MAY.—Who does not hail the month of May, espeeially the whole tribe of honest anglers ? What a charming time it is for the enjoyment of the coun try. While anglers are preparing their rods, lines, and flies for their anticipated sport, let us walk out this beautiful May evening, calm and peaceful as it is, and view the moonbeams glittering on the winding stream— see the trouts rise on its surface, and let us inhale the perfume of the fresh mown grass, and the sweet scent of the hawthorn. bushes. Let us listen to the responsive songs of the night ingales as they warble in yonder "bosky bourn." Most enchanting are the sunsets at this time of the year. Bat it is now evening, and amongst the objects to be noticed one of the most interesting is the glow-worm. Examine it. How it sparkles even in the moonlight, and looks, as one of our poets called it, a " moving diamond." The morning. sun will, however, extinguish its lamp,—EDwAar ) JESSE in Once a Week.

The Prussian Official Gazette publishes a Royal decree, convoking the Parliament for the 19th inst. ITALY. The following letter• has been addressed by Gen. Garibaldi to M. Baghino, instructor of the corps of Genoese volunteers, and who has just resigned his rank of major : _ _ _ " Trescorre, May 5. " M. Baghino—What you have done for the corps of Genoese Volunteers is worthy of the praise of all good patriots. I feel I acted rightly when I advised you to place yourself with your companions at the disposal of the Government in order to put down brigandage. I then said a few words to induce you to despise the malevolence of those who apply the epithet of sold to them who take the necessities of the country, and not their own private opinion, for their guide. Even now I feel lam doing right in not inducing my son to withdraw his resignation, which was only given in consequence of deplorable circumstances which still continue. Let your friends persevere, as they have hitherto done, in remaining united and ready for the redemption of our oppressed brethren. Give my affectionate greeting to your brave companions. —Yours, &c., " GARIBALDI." BANK OF FRANCE. The following is tha account for month ending Thursday, May 8 : ASSETS. F.

ROYAL FREEMASONS GIRLS' ScilooL.--The an niversary of the above institution is announced to take place on Wednesday next. The Earl of Zetland, grand master of the fraternity, has kindly consented to preside on this occasion, thus showing his anxiety for the success of this admirable institution. It will be the duty of all pro vincial grand masters, past and present grand officers, and all masonic brethren, to assist the noble earl, and show by their presence and contributions the zeal they feel in the success of this chat ity. From the warm interest the newly appointed secretary, Mr. Patten, has always taken in this charity, and his indefatigable exertions, it is to be hoped a very large subscription will be realised. INTERESTING DISCOVERY AT CHESTER.—On Tuesday, a Roman altar, in an excellent state of preserva tion, was found by some labourers who were digging near the city walls and behind the Corn Exchange. The altar is of the old red sandstane, and measures 28 inches in height. There are four rows of letters, in such a state that the whole inscription will be easily translated. A quantity of Saxon silver coins were recently discovered at Chester, which are now being sketched for the journal of the Numis matic Society. Among them are some of the reign of Edward the Elder, A.D. 901 and 925, which are gems of their kind. PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The ship Blackwall, 838 tons register, Captain William Harrison, belonging to Messrs. R. and H. Green, of London, which left Adelaide on the 7th of January, has passed up Channel. She touched at St. Helena March 15, and spoke, March 8, lat 2 7 N., long 21 40 W., the Bride, from Sunderland for China ; April 1, lat 4 0 N., long 21 11 W., the Mussouri, from Cardiff for Aden ; and April 3, lat 5 0 N., long 20 15 W., the Syren, from Liverpool for Rio Janeiro. The Blackwall has experienced nothing but light winds and calms. She brings passengers in the cabin—Mr. F. Singleton and son, Mrs. Waugh and child, Mr. and Mrs. Mellor, Mr. Williams, Mr. Bury, Mr. M'Culloch, Mr. Oldham, Masters Dutton, and Buchanan, Misses Jennings, Mrs. Fothett and child, and 34 in the second cabin and steerage. Her cargo con sists of 2,068 bales, 3,975 pieces of copper, 22 hhds. of regulus, 48 bags of silver lead ore, 6,183 trenails, 2 bales of skins, 18 bales of leather, 49 bags of gum, 9 cases and one quarter-cask of wine, and 6 packages of sundries. BOVINE FREAK.—An ox, on its way down the Back-lane of Penzance, on Thursday last, towards the slaughter-house—dazed by the change to town from coun try life, or more in love with flour and yeast than block or skewer—turned suddenly aside into the yard of Mr. B. Beckerleg, bread and flour dealer, and mounted the roof of his bakehouse, the eave of which reaches within a foot of the ground. After a plunge on the slates two of the slight beams gave way and his oxship fell through, with his fore feet on a dough-tro - sgh and his hind legs on the ground. *Unabashed by this intrusion, he walked through an open door into an office, but could make nothing of the desks and books, so lumen, walked through the room into the bake house (now lit by a huge hole in the roof), perambulated this apartment, and made his exit into the lane by a smaller yard and doorway. He seemed nothing the worse for this visit, although no doubt there was an extra bit of bruised meat in Saturday's raarket.—Cornish Telegraph, DEATH BY A FALL FROM THE LAND'S END. — PENZANCE, Friday, May 9.—On Tuesday last a young man named James Cock, aged 28, and either a tailor or a shoemaker of Plymouth, arrived at Sennen on a visit to his father, who is the head lightkeeper of the Longships Light house, and was formerly of the Eddystone. Father and son had not met for 12 years, and it was arranged that the son should proceed to the Longships and see his father to-day. Yesterday afternoon young Cock left the lightkeepers' houses, accompanied by his two sisters, to see the Land's End and adjacent cliffs. One account that reached us last evening said the party struck across the crofts and ap proached the verge of the cliffs to the right of the famous promontory ; another account this morning says the brother end sisters inspected the extreme western headland of England and returned along the northern side of the pre cipices to look at the natural tunnel which runs directly through the Land's End. One thing is certain—the unfortunate young man venture: on the very edge of the rocks, which are in some places grass-grown and treacherous ; his sisters, a little distance behind him, saw his feet slip, his hands thrown upwards, a desperate clutch at a projection a few feet downwards, and (while an agonising " . exclamation, in which one of their names was mentioned, reached their ears) their unhappy brother falling down until at a depth of from 150 to 180 feet he reached the rocks and became a crushed and inanimate mass. They raised an alarm as quickly as pos sible. Mr. Toman, landlord of the First and Last inn, and many villagers of Sennen, hastened to the spot with ropes, and in half an hour the body was recovered, but in a dread ful state, every bone, apparently, being crushed. A coro ner's inquest to-morrow will elicit further particulars. A black flag was hoisted at the lightkeepers' houses on the mainland, and the three watchers on the Longships soon perceived the signal of death and hoisted their own sad coloured emblem, but it was too late to put off in a boat, and the father would not know. of the melancholy fate of lies son until Vli .
