THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.— It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. 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 gentlenian wrote, stating that lie 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 erfect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which earried off the highest 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 from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the rood 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, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. NO MORE PILLS NOR ANY OTHER MEDICINE.

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 dimbts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges 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 pen a lti es/ and when wisdom and regret succeed' the heyday of inconsiderate self- Indulgence, how those penal 'es may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness x be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may Ooided, and; above all, that there le : physical infirmity or fun c ti onal derangement is scarce gement i u ) :,*latr a 7 d 't .6 bof science cannot applyitlelY aid a cure. l, J.

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 am the tariffs in operation or the general course of dealing is concerned. 'lt 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 compared 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 present 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 their. raised on the joint security of France and England. The 'Western Powers ensured payment on demand. to the bondholders, and received certain securitit in return from the Turkish Government ! Thy' balance of the Egyptian tribute, £70,000, was first hypothecated, and then the proceeds of the Smyrna.' __~. and Syrian Qustom-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 speeially 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 extricate herself from her financial Turkey may 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 disceined from the extraordinary alteration in the exchanges occasioned by obtaining £3,000,000, and the prospect of obtaining aOOO,OOO 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 there 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 in the river, ready for any service that may be required. The time may come when the British Government would willingly give ten times the original eost for her use for a single year. She could carry an army 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 forthcomingP Handsome 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 BRIGHTON.—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 f ew an d far between. Numerous demands continue to be made for houses of first and second class, and in the course of another two or three weeks we may calculate that th e town will con tain some 40,900 visitors." M. Severi no , w h o, as respons ibl e editor, signed the number of the Italia del Popolo, containing the letter lately addressed by Mazziui to Count Cavour, has been acquitted by a jury. H e w as, however, taken back to prison, there being another charge against him. WRECK ON BARMOUTH BAR.—BARMOUTII, Sept. 21.—Durinq a_ heavy gale on Friday night the schooner Isabel, of Liverpool, was driven on shore near the north bar of this port. She afterwards became a total wreck. Early the next morning the perilous position of her crew having been observed, the lifeboat of the Royal National Institu tion, _stationed at Bannouth wa s immediately got out and manned by a gall an t crew w ho soon succeeded in reaching the wreck and in bringing:the exhausted shipwrecked crew ashore amid the rejoicings of the people on land. The life boat's crew will be paid the usual amount for their valuable services. DEATH OF SIR GEORGE RICH.—We have to record the death of Sir George Rich, Knight, second son of the late Sir Charles Rich, which mournful event oc curred on Saturday last, after many months of painful suffering, in the 73d year of his age. i The deceased noble man was born in Burlington -street in 1786, and married in 1816 the daughter of Mr. Dudley Loftus, of Killyon, county Meath. He was appointed aide-de-camp and con troller of the household to the Earl of Whitworth in 1813 ; was Chamberlain of the Vice-Regal Court under the Mar quis of Wellesley, on hi s appo i ntmen t t o w hi c h of fi ce h e received the honour of knighthood. LATEST NEWS. TURKEY. MARSEILLES, SEPT. 22, The son of Fuad Pacha arrived yesterday even ing. He sets out immediately by express train for 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 2f per cent. for three to five months' bonds, and to 3 per cent. on those 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 him 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 Pecheli, Lord Elgin and Baron Gros would visit the great wall of China. BOURSE, September 22, Two o'Clock.—The notice of the Minister of Finance reducing the rate of in terest on Treasury Bonds at first produced an im provement in prices, but it was not long maintained.

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 of 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, comprising 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 16th. 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 Autografa 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 de 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 2'e Deum 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 lett er o f t h e 1 8 t h says: —" This after noon an important meeting of the Progrcsista party wits 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. Tetersbuig 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 their hunting excursions. The semi official Berlin Zeit treats the Villafranca 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 ; Lietitenant 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 re ques t o f th e b e lli geren t s , 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 neces 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 Majesty's ship Boscawen, for Mauritius. It is understood that the admiral will afterwards proceed to Mozambique. Her Majesty's ship Megmra, 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 " The Song 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 brooldet's flow, But in mine is the wind of Autumn, And the first fall of the snow. Ah ! what would the world be to us If the children were no more ? We should dread the desert behind is Worse than the dark before. What the leaVes are to the forest, With light and air for food, Ere their sweet and tend er 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. Come to me, 0 ye children I And whisper in my ear What the birds and the winds are singing In your sunny atmosphere. For what are all our bontrivings, And the wisdom of our books, When compared with your caresses, And the g l a d nes s 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. _dated the 19th inst., states caine and Nereide are being frigates a n d laden with coal, with which they fitted up as transports that the t o Macao, there to remain at the service l h e e tt s e a r ili f n r g om Brest, Afri are to be despatched t steamships . in the Chinese seas.

Captain V e t c h , Mr. W. S. Lindsay, M.P., and Mr. Code, C.E., arrived here yesterday, and at once proceeded with their investigations into the harbour accom modations at this port. Th e y were assisted in the prosecu tion of thei r inquiries by the Admiralty agent, Commander Priest, R.N. ; Captain Skinner, R.N., of Belfast ; Mr. J. Hawkshaw, Admiralty engineer ; Mr. Charles Rigby, &c. This morning they resumed their investigations, and at noon inspected the quarries of the New Harbour Works, and witnessed the dislodgment of about 9,000 tons of stone from the solid rock, bythe agency of 22 cwt. of gunpowder, which operated very successfully, and had a good eff ec t. A number of gentlemen from the neighbourhood also attended to witness this blasting operation, among whom were—the Hon. W. 0. Stanby, M.P.; Mr. R. T. Griffith, Careglwyd; Mr. 0. F. Meyrick, of Bodorgan ; Mr, G. Dobson ; Mr. R. L, Cousens, &c. A letter from St. Petersburg says The fire continues its ravages. 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' band 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 3foniteur of yesterd a y) The expedition sent to China has attained the object proposed. by the Emperor. On the one hand, full satisfaction is given for our legitimate griev ances, and the chastisement inflicted on the magis trate guilty of the murder of Father Chapdelame will be made public throughout China ; on the other hand, a treaty, signed ahnost 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 of the civilising 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 fo rge t w h a t the relations of the estern 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 West 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 issuing 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 as 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 of communicating direct with the central government. This state of things occasiened serious inconvenience, by placing foreign representatives in a - position of inferiority that rendered their action: utterly inefficacious, and com promised th e respec t d ue 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 coßcession, 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 every thing 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 com merc i a l movemen t of the world, w ill t a k e 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 happilymaintained 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, and eloquent eulogium on that greatest of natural philosophers, the report of which very nearly filled. three closely-printed columns of this journal. This plain statement of fact supersedes the necessity of all comment. A more wonderful evidence 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 versed in the science whose triumphs are the subject of emu 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 amppmlreeos-rteemoapincoeurrnttauniteelltaLafnodrofrpNerfeceerwisethnelcaye and hare c e o n r um rec e t r io a n te , d co t u h l e d 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 consummate grace, without reference to a note or a memoran dum, by a man past eighty years of age, th© prinie of whose life had been spent in the wordy wrangles of law, 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 Nett's. The Aberdeen Herald understands that the Uni versity Commissioners have already had several meetings in Edinburgh, chiefly for the purpose of arranging their course of procedure. According to this information, all their sit tings will be in Edinburgh, and their inquiries will be con ducted rather by documentary than oral communication. The Lord Justice Clerk has been appointed chairman, and will as such have a deliberative and casting vote.
