It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and In the course of a few weeks had gain6d no less than V: stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, tire., the anhnals which oarried.off the hk - hest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely fromits own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for itcan proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, fbr a pamphlet which is sent post-free.

The essential object of. this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences= resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and p r i v il eges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self- Indulgence, bow those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may he removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all that there is scarcely any deg ree of physical infirmity or fur c'tional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

The very interesting speech delivered by Mr. LAYARD, at the meeting of the Proprietors of the Ottoman Bank yesterday, Casts additional light on the important questions of Turkish finance and the position and future prospects of the Ottoman Em pire. Great Britain is, as we have already pointed out, deeply interested, as a nation, in sustaining the SULTAN, and preserving the integrity of his do minions. We have already expended £80,000,000 of British money and the lives of 80,000 true hearted Britons in protecting the " sick man," and surely it would be but a penny wise and pound foolish policy to hold back when, comparatively, a mere trifle may effect a complete cure, and enable us to reap the legitimate results of our former outlay. Turkey offers a vast field for com mercial enterprise, and, perhaps, we may look in vain amongst nations occupying higher positions, and preferring far greater claims for equal liberality and integrity, so far either as the tariffs in operation or the general course of dealing is concerned. It is not too much to say that the duties might be quadrupled without lead- ing to any perceptible diminution of consumption. There is thus abundant security, not only for the debt already contracted, but for a much larger amount, should it prove necessary—which we trust may not be the case—for the complete restoration of Turkish finance, and placing it in a sound and healthy position. Indeed, we believe we are fully justified in asserting that, considering the magnitude of its resources, there is no nation in the civilised world whose ,liabili ties. are .so small when compares with its assets. It may be boldly asserted that all which Turkey is bound to provide, in the 'shape of divi dend on foreign debt, up to the loan recently con tracted, is but £130,000 per annum, and even if the £5,000,000 be called for it will only require £430,000 a year, while Great Britain has to pay more than sixty times the amount. This is easily explained. The first loan con tracted, now known as the Turkish Six per Cents., was provided for out of the Egyptian tribute of £250,000 a year, specially guaranteed by the Great European Powers. It was intended, as in the preselit instance, to raise £5,000,000, but £3,000,000 only were at first required, and the: remainder of the loan was never called for. There was an organised opposition which 'reduced the scrip in the first instance to 86 or 87 ; but the Greek element was speedily vanquished, and the stock rose to more than par, leaving a very handsome profit to the original investors, and it is now 96 to 7—much less than its actual value. The second charge is for the interest of the Guaranteed Four per Cents. £5,000,000 was then raised on the joint security of France and England. The W extern Powers ensured payment on demand to the bondholders, and received certain securities in return from the Turkish Government ! The balance of the Egyptian tribute, £70,000, was first hypothecated, and then the proceeds of the Smyrna and Syrian Custom-houses. It is scarcely neces sary to say that the sums realised are far more than sufficient to satisfy even the full £200;000 a year, or that there is a handsome balance available for other purposes. It is just as if a mortgage of £7,000 or £B,OOO were contracted on an estate producing as many thousands per year. It could not for a moment be asserted that the property was bankrupt because of the trifling charge, not the one-twentieth part of its absolute value. For the present, loan there is also ample provi sion. The customs and octroi duties of Constanti nople have been specially pledged, and the produce at present more than £600,000 per annum, or double the amount required-for the purpose. It may: be said that there is also a floating debt, that there is a certain " inconvertible," or rather depreciated, currency in circulation, for - which due provision must be made. Why, this is the very purpose for which the present loan has been con tracted. The Turkish legal tenders will be placed on a sound foundation. The depreciation that has been caused by interested parties will be got rid of, and monetary affairs will once more assume a satis factory appearance at the Turkish capital. From what fell from Mr. LAYARD yesterday it would seem that many influential shareholders in the Ottoman Bank have taken an active part in effecting the loan, and providing the means by which Turkey may extricate herself from her financial difficulties. As we recently pointed out, the money thus advanced will prove the pivot on which Turkish prosperity will turn, and will prove doubly useful, not only in directly obtaining handsome interest at the rate of more than 7 per cent. on the present advance, but indirectly, in send ing up the shares of the Ottoman Bank to handsome premiums, at which, unquestionably, they will still be good bargains. ' - Yesterday a dividend at the rate , of 5 per cent., free of income-tax, was declared,: Perhaps more might have been fairly 'given, but the error was on the right side; and now that the exchanges have, to a certain extent, been rectified—that the bona fide profits may be transmitted to London without an enormous and alarming sacrifice—the soundness of the speculation will be manifested. Some bullionists have endeavoured to cast discredit on paper currency, in consequence of the existing state of affairs at Con stantinople. But that is altogether a mistake. The Turkish paper was not adequately supported. It was neither issued nor supported on sound prin ciples. That may be immediately discerned from the extraordinary alteration in the exchanges occasioned by obtaining £3,000,000, and the prospect of obtaining £2,000,000 more. The Otto man Bank may now realise its profits, and pro bably on the next occasion, in place of 5 we shall see a dividend of 10, or even 15 per cent., a just return for the exertions which they have made. If Turkey had taken care that the note or reduced piastre was always receivable in payment of every tax or duty, a foreign loan would not have been required. As it is, we see how easily credit may be restored, and a beneficial system inaugurated. A great experiment has been tried, and as yet without any fair return to the original pro jectors. Indeed, like many others who have ventured on new and unbeaten tracks, they must, under existing 'circumstances, be contented with the honour of having introduced a new class of vessel into the English Navy, as an equivalent for the serious losses sustained in the patriotic attempt. A new channel was opened for shipowners. It was believed that an extraordi nary, indeed, an unprecedented rate of speed could be attained, and that facilities could be afforded that would be duly appreciated, not only by British - merchants, but also by the British - Government: Every scientific calculation which has been tested has been fully and completely verified, and therefore theft) is the greater reason to suppose that the others will pass triumphantly through the ordeals to which they may be exposed. This may be regarded as the age of miracles, and yet " The Great Eastern" steam ship will not be regarded by posterity as the least marvel of the latter half of the nineteenth century. The genius of BRUNEL was never exerted to better pur pose, and the liberality and enterprise of the Di rectors and Shareholders gave every fair play to the originators, of the marvellous conception. But it is neither just nor equitable to expect too much from a private company. Where interests of such magnitude are concerned, some assistance should be rendered to those who have already provided for so great an outlay. The vessel is there before us, floating river, ready for any serv i ce that may ai3nrg be in required. The time may come t a , o the when the Britisl Government would willingly give ten times, the original cost for her use for a y single year. Sh e cou ld carry an arm to its destination in less than half of the time required by ordinary transports, or might by some trifling and comparatively inexpensive alterations, be enabled to encounter a naval squad ron, as powerful as any that could be despatched from Cherbourg or Cronstadt. It would be a disgrace to England if the extent of her capabilities were not fully and completely tested. "It is," says the Times, "computed that the sum of £330,000 would buy the Great Eastern as she lies, provide for the completion of all outstanding contracts, fit the vessel for sea, and furnish sufficient working capital besides." Why, then, should the comparatively trifling sum not be forthcoming? liandsome profits may be realised by those who will invest their money according to the pro ject put forward; but it is the duty of the Government to look, to the matter, and not to allow the golden opportunity to slip through their fingers—such another may not arise within the existing generation ; and we are quite satisfied that no expenditure would be more popular, than that which would secure the Great Eastern steamship for the British nation, and render her available for the many important uses to which she may be turned, and which may prove so very advantageous in maintaining the maritime supremacy of Great Britain. VISITORS AT B RIGUTON.—The Brighton Gazette says :--" We publish this week a very long list of arrivals, and the town is now assuming its wonted gaiety. Our de partures are few and far between.

MOM f LATEST NEWS. TURKEY. MARSEILLES, SEPT. 22. The son of Fuad Pacha arrived yesterday even ing. He sets out immediately by express train fo] Paris, where he will arrive this evening, carrying with him the ratification of the convention relative to the Danubian Principalities. The intelligence from Constantinople is to the 15th. The law, interdicting to strangers the right to acquire estates without renouncing their nation ality, had not yet been promulgated; but it was con sidered as inevitable. Sir Henry Bulwer had sent his secretary to meet Lord Stratford de Redcliffe in the Dardanelles. The birth-day of the Czar had been celebrated at the Russian Embassy. During the dinner the re presentative of 'Montenegro occupied the place of honour. A crowd of Greeks surrounded the Palace of the Embassy. FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY, The Moniteur this morning published a notice from the Minister of Finance reducing the rate of interest on the Bons du Tresor from 3 to 21 per cent. for three to five months' bonds, and to 3 per cent. on th9se that have from six months to a year to run. No change is made on bonds up to three months, the interest on which remains, consequently, at 21 per cent. The Moniteur publishes a letter from Tien-Tsin, in China, dated the 28th June, which states that the treaty between that country and France was signed on the preceding day by Baron Gros, the French Minister, and by Kouei-Liang and Houa cha-na., the Chinese Ministers. The same as on the occasion of signing the English treaty the day before, the greatest pomp was displayed. The ceremony took place in the pagoda of Hai-Kouang. When it was over, the French Minister begged Kouei-Liang to give hint the hair-pencil with which he had marked his name. The Chinaman complied, and begged, in return, one of the two pens which Baron Gros had used: As the treaty provides for the free ex ercise of the Christian religion, Baron Gros re quested that a certain, number of Christians, who had been for some years imprisoned in the interior, and whose names he had procured, should be set at liberty. The Chinese plenipotentiaries promised that an order to that effect should be sent from Pekin. It was believed that before leaving the Gulf of Peckeli, Lord Elgin and Baron Gros would visit the great wall of China.

The Zeit of Berlin publishes an article on the establishment of the Russians at Villafranca, which it regards altogether as a commercial affair. It concludes its observations in these terms :—" In stead of casting suspicion on the competition which Russia desires to enter into with the navigation of the Western Powers as well as with the Austrian Lloyd's, it would be far better, especially in Austria, to endeavour to support that competition." Prince Alfred, of England, left Berlin on the 18th for Gotha. The Duke of Cambridge arrived in the Prussian capital on the same day from Mecklenburg. AUSTRIA. The Austrian journals have stated that a dissen sion had arisen between the Minister of the Interior and the council bf the empire, on the subject of the project of communal organization drawn up at the request of the Emperor. A letter from Vienna, in the National Gazette of Berlin, gives the following explanation of the matter :--" The project presented by the minister, comprisink all the countries of the Crown, entered into the most minute details. The council of the empire expressed the opinion that it would be sufficient to establish general principles, and to leave the provincial diets to regulate the de tails. An understanding will, therefore, easily be come to. Both the minister and the council have maintained the principle of relieving the country nobles from communal obligations, or at least of assuring them an independent position in the com- munes." SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette, of the 18th, contains a tele. gram announcing the Queen's arrival at Benevente at a late hour in the night of the lOth. The same journal states that the Civil Governor of Madrid, the Marquis Vega de Armijo, and a deputation of the municipal authorities, had set out for the limits of the province, according to Spanish etiquette, to accompany her Majesty to the Escurial, and the Ministers were about to leave for that Royal resi dence to receive the Queen. The Correspondancia Artiografa declares that there is no truth in a state ment that had been made that an Anglo-Spanish Company has obtained the concession of a submarine telegraph from Cuba to the continent of America. The garrison of Madrid was being reinforced. The Infante Don Enrique, brother to the King, had arrived at Madrid from Valencia. He has lately been spoken of as likely to be named Minister of Marine and Colonies. A letter from Astorga con tains details of her Majesty's short visit to that ancient town The Royal family were received at the limits of the city by the authorities, and the ex-Deputies; the Marquis do Montevorgen and Viscount de Quintantilla, and escorted to the palace, before the entrance of which there was a triumphal arch - of tasteful proportions, made en tirely of chocolate, with an inscription allusive to the loyalty and attachment of the honest people of Astorga to ' Isabella the Good.' At a little before twelve at night, the watchman, stationed in the cathedral towers, range the huge bell, which was the signal agreed upon to announce the com ing of the royal cortege. The peal of the cathe dral was answered from every convent, church, chapel, or hermitage in the city and adjacent villages. In a few minutes the city was one blaze of light, and the whole population poured out of the gate by which the Queen was expected. As the royal cortege entered the gate, bands of dancers and singers appeared, and preceded the royal equipage on the way to the cathedral, the crowd drowning the sound of the music in their enthusiastic shouts. After Te Delon was sung with great pomp, the bishop and chapter approached their Majesties, and the former, after congratulating them on the protection which God had granted them during their progress, begged her Majesty to accept a relic, of great artistic merit, and which contains enshrined within it a piece of the tibia of the illustrious martyr St. Marcellus, who was born at Astorga, and who shed his blood at Tangiers in defence of Christianity." A Madrid letter of the 18th says :—" This after noon an important meeting of the . Progresista party was held, and the ' central committee on general elections' presented a report on what it had done. It was agreed to act energetically throughout the kingdom in the approaching elections, and in those diStricts in which, from a combination of circum stances, a Progresista candidate cannot hope for success, to support a Moderado with liberal ten dencies." RUSSIA. The Nord publishes the following despatch from St. Petersburg : " The Emperor has just conferred upon Prince Gortschakoff, Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Grand Cordon of the Order of St. Andrew, as a testimony of his high satisfaction rt the favourable conclusion of the treaty with China." BERLIN, Wednesday Evening.—Letters from St. Petersburg state that Russia will now endeavour to arrange another treaty with China, to settle the western frontier of the two empires, between Kiakhta and Tomsk. 'At present those districts are the scene of continual warfare between the borderers in theirhunting excursions. The semi-, official Berlin Zeit treats the Villafrafica concession as a very slight matter, but advises the Austrian Lloyds to prepare for a powerful competitor in the new Russian Company. Letters • from Zara, in Dalmatia, state that the line of telegraph has been rendered useless for the present through some of of the posts having been knocked down by a storm. On attempting to rectify the damage, three of the persons employed touched the wire, when two were killed by a tremendous discharge of electricity, and the third severely hurt. INDIA. AND THE CAPE. PLYMOUTH, WEDNESDAY. The screw steamship Indiana, Captain Lambert, arrived here to-day from Calcutta and the Cape of Good Hope. She left Calcutta July 3 ; Point de Galle, 14 ; Mauritius, 28 ; and the Cape, August 13. She brings home as passengers Lieut.-Colonel Kennedy, sth- Fusiliers ; Lieutenant Fenwick, 10th Foot ; Captain Brown 14th Light Dragoons Cap tain Grimston, 93d Highlanders ; Captain gcovel, 79th Highlanders ; Captain Unwin, 6th Foot; Staff Surgeon Glutterbuck ; Dr. Grant, sth Fusiliers ; Assistant Surgeon Tovey, 30th Foot ; Lieutenant Lever, 80th Foot ; Lieutenant England, 30th Light Infantry ; Lieutenant Cox, 13th Light Infantry ; Ensign Bartleman, Bengal Army ; Mr. W.

Barlow, Mrs. Leslie, Mrs. Quirian, Mrs. Corcoran and child, Miss Green, Mrs. Rawding and child, Captain Clay, her Majesty's 19th Regiment; Lieut. Jerome, 86th Regiment, in charge of invalids, 111 men, 12 women, and 12 children, of various regi ments. Lieutenant the Hon. C. Ward, 73d Regt., died on the voyage between Calcutta and Point de Galle, on the Bth July. From the Cape we learn that the Governor, Sir G. Grey, left Cape Town on the 27th July to enter upon his duties, with the consent of the Cape Legis lature, and at the earnest request of the belligerents, as mediater between the Free State Government and the powerful Basutu chief Moshesh. Great hopes are entertained throughout the country that a happy issue will result to South Africa from these negotiations, owing to the changes rendered neees _sary in British Kaffraria by the alteration of policy of the new home Government, and to the awk ward situation in which the settlers of the British Legion and other German immigrants are placed. The governor has decided upon giving 200 farms of 1,500 acres each to farmers with some capital from this colony, in order that employment be fur nished for the Germans, some of whom are desert ing daily from the Legion. Admiral Sir F. Grey, accompanied by Lady Grey, left Simon's Bay on the 27th ult., in her I.lajesty's ship Boscawen, for Mauritius. It is understood that the admiral will afterwards proceed to Mozambique. Her Majesty's ship Megwra, Commander Purvis , arrived in Simon's Bay on the 10th August. She has come to embark troops for India. Her Majesty's ships Hermes and Lynx were in Simon's Bay. CHILDREN. By PROFESSOR LONGFELLOW. The following exquisite lyric is extracted from a new volume of poetry, just issued from the press, by the greatest poet of America—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. " The Courtship of Miles Standish, and other Poems," is the title of the little volume, which will be more gladly welcomed by the thou sands of Longfellow's admirers in Old England than either of his latest productions, " The Golden Legend," and " Th e S ong of Hiawatha"—for already, after but lightly turning the leaves, we recognise more true poetry worthy of the large and gentle heart of Longfellow in half-a-dozen pages of " Miles Standish" than in the two immediate pre decessors of " Miles Standish" put together. As ample testimony of the truth of what we have said, glance down the tender and beautiful verses here following : Come to me, 0 ye children ! For I hear you at your play, And the questions that perplexed me Have vanished quite away. Ye open the eastern windows, That look towards the sun, Where thoughts are singing swallows And the brooks of morning run. In your hearts are the birds and the sunshine, • In your thoughts the brooklet's flow, But in mine is the wind of Autumn, And the first fall of the snow. Ah I what would'the world be to us If the children were no more ? We should dread the desert behind us Worse than the dark before. What the leaves are to the forest, With light and air for food, Ere their sweet and tender juices Have been hardened into wood, That to the' world are children ; Through them it feels the glow Of a brighter and sunnier climate Than reaches the trunks below. Cerro, to me -- ; - 43 ye children I - And..whisper in my ear What the birds and the winds are singing In your sunny atmosphere. For - *hat are all our contrivings, And the wisdom of our books, When compared with your caresses, And the gladness of your looks ? Ye are better than all the ballads That ever were sung or said ; For ye are living poems, And all the rest are dead. A letter from Brest, dated the 19th inst., states that the sailing frigates Africaine and Nereide are being fitted up as transports and laden with coal, with which they are to be despatched to Macao, there to remain at the service of the French steamships in the‘Chinese seas. The French Government has hitherto been forced to pay an enormous price for the coals purchased _in the Chinese seas.

Every day we receive the news of fresh disasters occasioned by the burning of the forests and the dry turf. Sparks carried by the wind have even in several places set fire to the wooden sleepers of the Moscow Railway and to the posts of the telegraph wires. The passengers that were in an express train, driven at a great rate, were half suffocated in passing through one of these places. Afterwards the communications were in terrupted for 36 hours. On the 12th September, at the moment when Strauss' viand were playing a new waltz, ' Les adieux a Saint Petersburg,' at the Vauxhall of Parlovsk, the tocsin was all at once heard sounding in the town. The crowd hurried from the gardens, and perceived the glare of a fire which had broken out in the neighbourhood of the same quarter in which occurred the serious con flagrations only 15 days ago. Several houses have been destroyed, and the lives have been lost of a young Jewess and several children, whose parents had gone to see the illuminations at Vauxhall." THE TREATY WITH CHINA. (From the lioniteur of yesterday.) The expedition sent to China has attained the object proposed by the Empero r . O n th e one h an d, full satisfaction is given for our legitimate griev ances, and the chastisement inflicted on the magis trate guilty of the murder of Father Chapdelaine will be made public throughout China ; on the other hand, a treaty, signed almost at the gates of Pekin, assures to our trade and our missionaries free access to the heart of the Celestial Empire. The barriers of ages that were still keeping in isolation from the rest of the world a territory peopled by nearly 300 millions of inhabitants, are definitively overthrown ; China is completely opened, and can in future no longer withdraw her self from the action o f th e civilismg movement. It was on the 27th of June last that Baron Gros signed the treaty of Tien-Tsin. To appreciate its entire importance, we must not forget wh a t the relations of th e irestern Powers have hitherto been with China, and how limited the advantages were that resulted from them. The war between England and China had led, in 1842, to the concluding of a treaty, which, by placing in certain respects the barbarians of the `crest on the same footing with the subjects of the Middle Kingdom, opened to them certain ports, granted them guarantees for their commerce and persons, and created the first elements of interna tional law, hitherto unknown in China. By the Convention of 1844, France secured to herself the benefit of these different clauses, and obtained, moreover, from the Emperor the ivsuing of an edict that repealed the penalties affecting Chinese Christians. Assuredly these were important con cessions, from which would naturally result in the Chinese mind a clearer notion of France's power, which was little known at Pekin, save by the vague remembrance which the recitals of the missionaries had left there concerning the grandeur of Louis XIV., and subsequently by the renown of Napoleon's name. The edict of toleration brought over also to China our traditional protectorate of catholicism, by extending it to Christianity in general. But if this first success had an undoubted value, we must nevertheless admit that the access granted us to the Chinese territory, being restricted to five ports, did not constitute an adequate con cession. It is to be observed also that the measure _taken in favour of the Chinese Christians by the edict of Tao-Kwang had not the stamp of being a reciprocal act, and gas it 'emanated solely from the Imperial will, this act did not possess the force of-a convention engagement, nor did it authorise, more over, in any way the preaching of Christianity or the entrance of missionaries into the provinces of the Celestial Empire. On the other hand the foreign missions were only permitted to reside at Macao or Hong Kong, and had never been able to transact business with any other save the Viceroy of Canton. Our diplomatic mission was compelled, like the others to fix its residence without the Chinese territory, and always found the impossibility o f communi cating direct with the central government. This state of things occasioned serious inconvenience, by placing foreign representatives in a position of inferiority that rendered their action utterly inefficacious, and com promised the respect due to them in the Chinese mind'. The treatment and advantages which the Em peror's government deemed it expedient to demand are now formally and unreservedly conceded - to us. All the important ports of the Chinese coast, as well as all the great routes of communication throughout the interior; are open to our shipping and trade. Our fellow countrymen, who by the terms of the treaty of 1844 were only allowed to enter five ports, will be able henceforth, being fur nished with passes, to travel without hindrance over all parts of China. It is not now by virtue of a spontaneous edict on the part of the Sovereign that Chinese Christians cease to have cause of apprehension from the perse cutions of the mandarins ; it is in virtue of conven tion stipulations, which, acknowledging the benefits of the Christian doctrine, abolish the laws that pro scribed it, and permit the missionaries of the West to move freely about the interior of the empire for the purpose of propagating it among the Chinese. The Viceroy of Canton ceases to be the compul sory medium of our communications ; the represen tative of France will treat direct with the cabinet of Pekin, and to this end he obtains the right of residence in that capital. The advantages of this concession, against which Chinese pride especially revolted, are manifest. Henceforth we shall have no cause to fear that the disloyalty of certain offi cials will impede the prompt and satisfactory solu tion of whatever differences may arise. These direct communications with the Chinese cabinet will, as a consequence, dissipate more than one erroneous conception, and enlighten on many points a Govern ment that has almost everything to learn about the nations of the West. Commerce will receive new developments by favour of the rights acquired for the future by mer chants of buying direct and without a go-between their wares upon the very spot where they are pro duced. A new revision of the tariffs will make the customs duties harmonise with the fluctuations of prices. Goods will no longer be subjected to arbi trary surcharges levied on them during their transit by the provincial mandarins ; the Government will publish a uniform transit duty. The tonnage duty will be similarly reduced. Commercial shipping has long demanded a secu rity that fails it in the seas where piracy commits its ravages with impunity. Measures will be taken for the destruction of this scourge. Lastly, the Chinese government has engaged to pay to France a sum of 15 millions of francs, not only as reparation for the losses sustained by French merchants, but as a compensation for the expenses occasioned by the war. • The prayers formed by all enlightened minds have consequently been heard. China, forced out of her immobility and isolation, will pass under the happy influence of Christianity and civilisation, and at the same time, in the commerci a l mo vement of the world, will take the part assigned to her by her immense resources. It will not be amiss to finish with the remark that if results of such importance have been ob tained at the end of the world with a military force of so small an amount, it ought to be attributed both to the good understanding happily maintained between the governments of France and England, and to the valour of which the seamen of both countries have just given fresh proofs. LORD BROUGHAM. On the 19th of the present month Lord Brougham completed his eightieth year; on the 21st he de livered at Grantham, on the occasion of inaugurating the Newton statue, a most comprehensive, elaborate, philosophers,and eloquent u the report on r i tof is th ,h a i t eh gr l e ,e a r t 7 t of n earl itu 3 i . aial filled • three closely-printed columns of this journal. This allp a in eo m statement ineot A o f m f e a l e e t I s v u o p n e d r e s r ede fol s eN t i he den n e e e Ce o ss f ity of sus tained intellectual exertion at a period of life so advanced is not to be met with in the annals of any age or country. A close examination of the quality of this most remarkable performance increases the astonishment which the mere mention of such a feat, even without regard to quality, is certain to excite. Lord Brougham's eulogium is anything but a mere cento of sonorous and eloquent common places. It is popular and yet philosophical, rhe torical and yet scientifically accurate. The mind from which it emanated is deeply vorsed in the science whose triumphs , are the subject of com memoration, intimately penetrated' by the sub lime truths whose discovery and exposition it is the aim of the orator to set forth. No didactic man of the closet, with amplest opportunity for reference and correction, could more accurately and precisely have enumerated the pre-eminent claims of Newton to the foremost place among the sages of the world. Yet this precise and accurate delineation was effected within the necessarily restricted compass of a popular address, pronounced before a mixed audience; composed under the conditions, which were strictly complied with, of being intelligible to the least cultivated of the hearers who thronged to the celebration. This careful and accurate composition was delivered with perfect fluency and consununafe grace, without reference to a note or a memoran dum, by a man past eighty years of age, the Wprrianniegleofslo whose law,hos elife had been sp en t i n th e wor dy and the fierce warfare of politics and of party ; by a man who had been a brilliant reviewer, a successful lawyer, a vehement Oppo sition leader ; the great opponent of slavery, the powerful champion of education and legal reform. In the blaze•of all this varied achievement, it had, almost come to be forgotten that the earliest among the youthful triumphs of this versatile genius were won in the field of physical science--a field which, as he could find or make opportunity, he has never ceased at intervals to cultivate through the varied changes of a most exciting and eventful life. The great men of a great age are passing away too rapidly from the midst of the present generation to allow of our passing by in silence an exhibition in every way so remarkable as this eulogium on Newton by the octogenarian Henry Brougham. — Daily _Yews.
