SAWYER and STRANGE, of the London, Fleet• street, having taken this department, feel it to be but due to the public and to themselves to state the ar rangements by which they hope to secure the patronage of all c'asses of visitors to the Palace. In embarking upon this responsible under taking, they feel that their surest expectation of success recta on their henceforth rendering the REFRESHMENT DEPARTMENT a splendid and distinctive feature in the general attractions. Their first act, which has the sanction of the directors, will be to throw open a series of magnitic tnt saloons in those localities of the Palace commanding the best views of the grounds, the fountains, and the exquisite scenery of the surroanding country. It Is confid ntly hoped that every class of the community visiting the Palace will find both their tastes and their purses consulted in the refreshment arrangements ; for while the cuisine will contain everything that is recherché in the best English clubs, ample accommodation will be afforded to that large class who may wish to study e.tonomy, and at the same time seek comfort. It will be the aim of the hew proprietors to give the public as many facilities for enjoying the pleasures of the table as they could expect at the best houses of entertainment, either at the West End or in the City. It is hoped that by a system of manage ment at once liberal and economic, the holders of season tickets and families will be induced to avail themselves of the opportunities about to be afforded of dining well and che:.ply. The arrangements for the general public must necessarily be of a very comprehensive character, and Ivhile the proprietors undertake to satisfy the most refined tastes, they will not neglect the more simple ones. By a judicious blending of the English with the foreign forms of the culi nary art they hope to make the defartment worthy of that world wide patronage which is bestowed on the Palace itseV. A novel feature will consist in the construction of a suite of smoking rooms, which will he of easy access from the refreshment saloons. The refreshments are now supplied by the new proprietors, but imme diate notice will be given of the completion of the larger arrange melds. 4" 000 YARDS of BRUSSELS, TAPESTRY, aral VELVET PILE CARPETS, reduced Is. per yard, at DRUCE and Co.'s, 58, 68, 69, Baker-street.

STATE OF TRADE. MAN CHESTER, APRIL 1. Since Tuesday the business done in India shirtings and T clothe has led to rather more steadiness in prices. Stocks have been considerably lessened, and some sales have been made for future delivery. In other respects there is little or no change. The cotton market con tinues easy, with large arrivals whenever the wind is favourable. Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co., in their monthly circular, dated yesterday, state the de• cline in prices since the let of March at lid. to 3d. per piece on 7-Bths printers, lid. on madapollams, 2d. to 4d. on 9-Bths printers, 3d. to 6d. on 9-Bths shirtings, 4id. to 63. on 5-4ths shirtings, 6d. to 7id. on figured shirtings, ld. to 3d, on jaconets, 33. to 6d. on T clothe, about 6d. on long cloths per piece ; and Id. to 1-16 d. (in some cases id.) per yard on domestics. Yarns id. to ld., and in some cases lid. per lb. lowa. Prices are still, however, considerably above the rates which were accepted in December. Messrs. Robert Freeland and Brother in their monthly circular report :- " The greatly reduced stock of cotton in Liverpool at the end of February had led to extreme prices for the raw material, which caused spinners and nia"" lecturers to be unwilling sellers of their produc done, except at equally extreme rates. But these were very generally resisted by buyers, and transactions in yarn and cloth at the high rates were of very limited extent. The arrivals of cotton in the month of March, however, have been so unusu all y large as to alter the position of the market very mate rially. Middling Orleans cotton has receded from the highest point about ld. per lb., and ordinary qualities lid. So far, the Manchester market has not yielded in an equal ratio ; and hence the continued reluctance on the part of buyers to operate except for the Eastern markets, for which a considerable amount of orders had accumulated during the last two months. On comparing the shipments of cotton piece goods and yarns for the month with those of last year for the same time there is very little difference in the sum total, being 79,606 packages against 82,134. But a compari son of specific markets shows a considerable variation. The falling off to the continent of Europe and nearly all ie yarn, is large-to Hamburg,3,7s4, and to Rotterdam, 1,831 bales. There is also a decrease to Constantinople of 2,329 packager. There is a similar falling off to the Brazils. On the other hand, there is an increase to nearly all the Eastern markets :-to Calcutta, 1 858 packages ; Bombay, 1,832 ; Madras, 1,334 ; Manilla, 1,538 • Sinopore, 800 ; and there is an increase to Shanghai of 3,362 packages. The following classification of the exports shows the proportion shipped to the various markets of the world- Packages, Lb. Cotton. Cotton. Piece Goods. Yarns. East Indies 34.9 China Australia Central and South America... 16 8 Next) America ... 8.4 West Indies Geist of Africa Turkey, Egypt, and Levant... 10.5 Germany and Holland 3.4 ... . ...... 40 0 Other European States "The Liverpool cotton-market has been very dull and depressed throughout the month, and prices of the cur rent American qualities, which had reached a relatively higher point than other kinds, have rapidly declined. Importers so far have been realising a profit upon the late arrivals, and hence have sold very freely ; hut we must shortly receive cotton, which has not been laid in so favourably, and which will not be so freely pressed upon the market. "In yarn there has been very little business done during the month, and prices have gradually given way, but not to such an extent as to induce much buying. Within the last day or two some orders have been given out where spinners were disposed to take very low prices, but as yet the demand is by no means general or active. The goods market, also, has been influenced by the down ward tendency of cod in, and prices have been very irre gular. Very few transactions took place at the high rates. 9-Bths and 7-Bths printing cloths may be quoted 6d. per piece lower, for the double piste ; Madapollams, 4d. to 70. for 46 yards ; Jaconets, 2d. to 3d. per piece ; T-cloths and long clothe, 3d. to 40. per piece ; and do mestics about yd. per yard. India and China shirtings have given way about 9d. per piece, which concession appears to attract buyers.

But were I, the writer. of this, a civil engineer, and could I catch the ear or the eye of men in authority, I would suggest for their grave con sideration, that if the world is beginning to be tired of the slow, sea-sick, but safe passage over the waters of the Channel from Dover to Calais, and from Volkestone to Bologne—if it hesitates before the awful dangers and difficulties, and the enor mous, utterly-iucalculable expenses of a more rapid transit under the tidal stream, by means of the submarine tunnel which has been roughly described —and if the said ambitious, progress-loving world is still willing to combine rapidity, safety, and the aLsence of sea-sickness by the execution of a work which, though less costly and less wasteful of human life to execute than the subaqueous road, would yet leave the mightiest monuments of Egypt for behind in point of magnitude and utility, as it would be in advance of themin time—let the grand problem he boldly solved by the formation of a solid embankment capable of bearing a triple or quadruple road, on its summit, through the waves of the Straits of Dover. Let us have an Anglo• Gallic Isthmus. Is this more impossible, more k xaggerated above the proportions of common sense, than the tunnel scheme ? I think not, after calm reflection. A Plymouth break Water or a Cher bourg dique, has only to be constructed cf the re quisite 1 ngth, and the thing is done. 4f a man can make a mile of dique, he can make 20 miles of d quo. As to deep water, Algiers will show what I.as been done in spite of depth ; as to the length, breadth, and thickness of a construction, there is the Wall of China to encourage us to out-do the performance of barbarians. Suppose that M. Thome de Gawond had already built up his thir teen islets to the requisite altitude above the level of the sea, which of the two would then cost the most, both in treasure and in'sacrifice of life, at that epoch the work ;to k . ink the shalt and com plete the tunnel, or to connect the islands by a causeway of rock raised far above the reach of the highest tides ? Of material there is abundance near at hand, at least on the French side of the undertaking ; and any quantity could be made to come by permanent or temporary railways from the interior. Only a few miles from the southern ex , remity of my isthmus are the inexhaustible quarries of Ferques. The embankment scheme saves and spares the very long tunnels on either side by which the coast lines are reached before the subterranean tunnel itself is entered. And when once completed, which mode of passage would be the easiest to work, the cheapest, and the safest ? No lighting up to be done by day, no drainage, no ventilation, and scarcely any repairs, would be needed on the international embankment. In point of comfort, security, and sense of satisfaction is there a choice between the two Whence is all the oxygen to come, to feed gaslight, locomotive fires, and human lungs ? Would you net involun tarily fear that the tunnel—as ill-natured people say of the Leviathan—was a clever contrivance to drown the greatest possible number of human be ings at once ?—Dickens's "Household Words." THE EMPELOR NAPOLEON. i e l c e of e aggression arparen t (From the Daily News.) Where is all this . to end ? Week by week the plot havedeepens—the circle become exorbita,ncy of the demands ris es hi g h er and higher. It must widens—thet e m s t apathetic and the least clear-sighted that Louis Napoleon Bonaparte is bent on en ;aging Europe in the task of defending him, at whatever cost of national independence and national honour, from the machinations of his secret enemies, and the consequences of his public —acts. In the pursuit of this chimerical and impossible object laws aro to be altered—rights surrendered—liberty abridged— the privileges of asylum violated. The free nations of Europe, for the mere dynastic purposes of a ruler who has trampled down French freedom, are to be reduced to the dead level of French bondae. L'Einpire c'est l'Espionage is to be the new gospel of the new era. The Sub-Alpine kingdom, the Alpine federation, even the " inviolate" Island herself, are to be pervaded by French spies and French police agents ; are to exchange their free and fixed laws, their solid safe-guard's of personal freedom, for domiciliary visits and arrests on sus picion ; for vague charges and arbitrary punish ments. Why should this be endured I What claim has Bonaparte more than other rulers to exact fecal friendly nations ebat they should constitute themselves into the protectors of his person, and the defenders of his rule ? Self-protection is his own business. He has no right to enforce on others the task of watching the foes, or averting the con sequences, which have been the growth of his own misdeeds. Power like his, won by force and fraud, can only be held by the inevitable tenure of peril, and suspicion, and fear. Let it be assumed that we accept his rule as a fait accompli ; yet we cannot forgot the circum staeces out of which it rose. We cannot be blind to the means by which it is perpetuated. We pass no judgment now on t he one or the other. We look merely at theie inevitable consequences. We cannot ignore the plain truths taught alike by experience and by reason, that a throne founded on blood will be assailed by vengeance ; that no foes are more inveterate than ambitious and intelligent men, victimised by proscriptior, and pining in exile ; that wholesale deportation, on mere suspicion, to penal servitude its pestilential marshes, creates a certain feeling not altogether amicable, both in the sufferers wh o bear the doom, and the friends who deplore it ; finally, that to repress all intellectual life—all freedom of thought, pen or tongue, in a lively, volatile, and intelligent people, with a necessity for news and a passion for discussion— is about as safe an experiment as to tie down the valves of a high pressure engine, or to light a cigar with one of Palmer's Vesuvians in the penetralia of a powder magazine. Now, what we want to know is this : why should we be made responsible for consequences which follow certain courses of action an inseparably as shadow follows substance ? Why should we be asked to alter laws, receive spies, exercise surveillance over refugees, simply because it has pleased Louis Napoleon Bonaparte to consti tute himself Emperor of the French under cir cumstances with which all the world is familiar ? If once this course is entered upon it can never be abandoned—as long, at least, as the present ruler of France is on th;throne. The enmities that his acts have created are not of a kind easily subdued by time. The line of internal policy that he is at present pursuing must infalliby tend to multiply foes and intensify hatred. It really becomes a vitally important question to ascertain how far Europe is to be considered bound to defend Napoleon and his dynasty from the inevitable con sequences of his own deeds. This, in fact, is the problem now presented for solution to all the free nations of Europe. England, which has already hurled from power the strongest Ministry since Sir Robert Peel's time, for un worthily paltering with this problem—England has recorded her em ohetie determination—a determina tion which no Minister dare for a moment forget — that she will not have her old laws stretched, or strained, or altered, for the mere purpose of ' enabling her the better to keep the peace be tween Louis Napoleon and these enemies of his own making. Sardinia and Switzerland are now en gaged in the consideration of the same question under different forms. On no country in Europe have the demands of the French Ruler been urged with more undisguised and offensive insolence than upon Switzerland. Our readers will not have for gotten the terms of M. Walewski's Swiss despatch of Jan. 20, demanding, in the language of complaint and menace, that all refugees iu Switzerland, espe cially those belonging to the Italian emigration, should be removed from the French frontier and ii,ternes in the more central cantons. This de spatch, it may be remembered, commenced with complaints that the Federal Council had hitherto met the representations of France on the subject with dilatory and evasive replies, and. concluded by declaring that "is the event of the Helvetic Government not taking into con-ideration the means of satisfying our just requirements, it would incur a give responsibility, and would only have to attribute to itself the consequences which its d e t e rmination might entail." From the date of this despatch to that of the last advices, a struggle has been going on b etween th e Helvetic and the French Governments. The Emperor, dissatisfied with the extent of compliance accorde, rather in semblance than reality, to the demands of Count Walewski, next endeavoured to procure the recep tion by Switzerland of certain French police agents under the guise of Consuls, with the real view, hoWever plausibly disguised, of exercising an active surveillance on all th ose who fell within the terms of M. Walewski's communication,refugees no t or i ous ly disposed to devote themselves to criminal enterprises." Upon this point the Federal Council have hitherto made a determined stand, and we now learn that, irritated by their opposition to this outrageous demand, the Emperor has resorted to what almost amounts to a menace of war. Unless the Federal Council will cement to receive the new Consuls, the Imperial Government will withdraw its exequatur from all the French Consuls now in Switzerland. We are told that this is a mere brutum fulmen ; that there is no probability of an actual breach be tween the two Governments on this ground. We shall see : at all events, it is to be earnestly hoped that the confidence thus felt is not based on any well-founded belief that unworthy concessions are likely to bo made by Switzerland. Let the diplo mates of the Tuileries put forth what representa tions they please, the plain fact remains incontest able, that the demands made by the Government of Fiance on the Federal Council have been made with an object the most chimerical, and urged in a tone the most objectionable. That the advisers of the French Emperor should not only require of Switzerland to take precautions for their master's safety by violent measures of internal repression, but also to submit to the disgrace of receiving French police agents in order to see these repressive measures rigorously carried out—this is an in dignity to which no free State can submit without an absolute forfeiture of all just self-respect. We trust that the old Helvetic vir uo will resist such meanness to the very death. We trust that Switzerland, like England, will protest against the absurdity and the injustice of being charged with the protection of aPower, whose foes are the instru ments of that inexorable logic which in the moral world visits lawless violence with lawless retribu tion—of a Power which, having trampled down the freedom of France, now menaces the inde pendence of Europe. THE NATIONAL GALLERY. ---- - (Front the Morning Herald.) Some months ago, as our readers may recollect, we commented upon the report of the Royal Com missioners who had been appointed to determine the proper site for a new National Gallery. Upon that occasion, in expressing our hearty concurrence in the recommendations of the majority in favour of Trafalgar-square, we considered as well the con venience of the public as the grandeur of the situa tion itself, the proximity of the intended Govern ment offices, and the superb effect which might he produced by the skilful grouping of our finest and most stately edifices in the same neighbourhood. But we strongly advised these with whom the ulti mate decision rested, that if they could not imme diately afford to purchase a sufficient space of ground in that locality, they should rather delay the re erection of the gallery than allow it to be built iu a less noble and commanding position, or upon a meaner scale, than that originally designed. What may have been the intentions of the late Ministers in this matter it is hard to say ; but they caused an estimate to be prepared by the Surveyor of Works, by which the cost of adopting the plan of the commissioners is roughly reckoned at 500,000/. That sum, if compared with the extent of the contemplated improvements, certainly does not appear exorbitant. For half a million of money, according to the surveyor's computation, the various buildings belonging to the parish of St. Marlin, the baths and washhouses, and the work house, together with Archbishop Tenison's school and library, and also St. George's Barracks, might, be demolished and reinstated elsewhere, and a magnificent gallery constructed upon the site thus . enlarged. Now, it is true that the merits of this scheme are almost universally acknowledged, for which reason we shall abstain from expatiating upon them ; for it is idle to argue when nobody cares to disagree. But the real question is, are the Commons willing to vote that half million of money ; and if so, will they forbear to grumble when the Chancellor of the Exchequer comes to ask them for the ways and means to meet that charge upon the finances of the country which they have themselves created ? The honesty of purpose with which her Majesty's Mi nisters are inspired is well known. The tenor both of their speeches and actions leave no room to doubt that they will confine expenditure of the national revenue to strictly national objects, and that in applying it to those objects they will neither lavish it indiscretly nor fritter it away in mere paltry shifts and temporary contrivances. It is equally certain that they will not imitate the exam ple of their predecessors by seeking to evade that legitimate guardianship and control which is exer cised by the popular representatives over the in come of the people. The present Government, therefore, deserve and will repay the trust and con fidence of Parliament; but in everything which concern the disposal of public money, the Ministers, whoever they may be, must defer entirely to the wishes of the House of Commons. When Parlia ment reassembles the subject of public buildings is pretty sure to be brought forward ; and it is thre fore high time that honourable members should re solve, which as yet they do not appear to have done, what principle they will for the future approve in regard to the erection of all national edifices. Shall these be built of that commodious size which will satisfy the requirements of posterity, and in that august style of severe and simple beauty which, in a civilised age, is not inaptly said to typify the dignity of a country, inasmuch as it re presents a refinement of the intellect and the growth of a purer taste among the inhabitants ; or shall they still remain those tawdry, close, and vulgar piles of brick and plaster, diversified here and there by an expensive and elaborate mass of profusely-decorated stone, which, as the phrase goes, w ar i e eb no tb s o o m on r e e r m ru bv n ea u T than l e soonerhlt men th of sensi bility of Commons makes up its mind on these points the better it will be for the tax - pay ers. The earn ings of their labour will no long er be wasted ina e House multitude of fanciful or petty projects, precipitately y edevised,ach lice and ss successive iv perhaps Government which all must equally conform. Of late years the ll e indications of a m ore elevated taste and discern mentkanbeav know b o abandoned rule, to among all classes have been so cons p icuous as almost to preclud e the idea that, if the choice were made now between the t wo o pp osite principles we aas rashly iv eh i have mentioned, it would fall upon the latter. It is indeed difficult to imagine that in the nineteenth century any of the leading European nations could be found so u nenlightened as to deny the abstract truth of these propositions; that we ought not to build until we can afford it, and when we do build we ought to build both durably and well. Can we not yet venture to practise what we feel to be true t In making these remarks nothing can be further from our thoughts than to press hardly upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whose operations, es pecially at such an unfavourable conjuncture as the present, it would be most unwise to embarrass. Able as he is, we cannot expect him to work mira cles. From our experience of the financial adminis tration of the Whigs we can easily understand what difficulties the successors of Sir G. Lewis must have to encounter. What with Persian and Chinese wars and other minor burdens, the Exchequer has been so impoverished, and the drain upon it is still so heavy, that very skilful management will be needed to replenish it anew. Of course Mr. Disraeli cannot spend what ho has not got, and no Conservative is fond of borrowing. At the same time, as we are convinced of Mr. Disraeli's talent and integrity, so we leek for more from him than from ordinary men. Moreover, the spirit which animate both himself and his colleagues is so just, and fair, and conciliatory towards foreign States—in them tem per and forbearance are so happily combined with firmness and resolution—that it will be surprising indeed if they involve us in any of those disastrous quarrels abroad, during the continuance of which all domestic improvements are suspended, the re sources of the country eaten up, and it s labour squandered in contrivances for the de struction of our neighbours, and the surplus revenue thrown away, not upon such trifles as bridges, museums, and galleries of art, but in the forging of •warlike muniments and the accumulation of vast stores of gunpowder and missiles of destruction. We do not hesitate. therefore. to predict that, as soon as the Ministers have extricated themselves from the hos tilities by which the policy of Lord Palmerston has unfortunately hampered and tied thorn down, the Exchequer will be refilled ; and that so long as Mr. Disraeli retains hispost the condition of the finances will be steadily improved. But whilst he is en gaged in repairing the deficit which the Whigs have bequeathed to him we shall be much deceived if he prefers the character of the niggard to that of the economist. No legislator has shown himself more adverse to staving off difficulties by trick or subterfuge ; and we may rest assured that, among the weightier cares and anxieties of his office, he has not lost sight of this question of public buildings, with respect to which he has more than once explained his liberal and com prehensive views to an admiring audience in the Lower House of Parliament. The first balloon ascent in the Australian colonies took place at Creinorne Gardens, Melbourne, on the lit of February, and was witnessed by an enormous con course of people. One of the torenauts brought out from England by Mr. Coppin ascended, owing to an in sufficient supply of gas. The descent of the balloon snd its passenger was safely effected at a spot about Eeves miles north of the city. IN PARIS. (Front the Tunes.) What is to be done about the Protestant Chapel in the Rue d'Aguesseau at Paris ? It may be re membered that some time hack, upon the recom mendation of the English Ambassador, Lord Cow ley, the Lords of the Treasury sanctioned a grant of 9,000/. for the purchase of this property from the Rev. Mr. Chamier. The step, however, proved a premature one, for when the sum was proposed in the Estimates the Commons refused, and we think very properly, to sanction the grant. The consequence was that the property was thrown back upon the hands of the purchasers. We much regret that they should be put to inconvenience, for there can be no doubt that Lords Cowley and Clarendon, and all other parties to the transaction, although not altogether free from blame on the score of in discretion, were actuated throughout by the most praiseworthy desire to promote the spiritual wel fare of the English residents at Paris. We would gladly give them what assistance we can in this mat ter not only because their intentions were most laudable, but because it is really desirable that there should be free church accommodation at Paris for our poorer fellow-countrymen who may be resident at any time in that city. We do so, however as the lawyers would say, "under protest," inasmuch as we most heartily concur with the de cision arrived at by the House of Commons last year. The Anglo-Parisians have no title what• ever to come to Parliament for a grant. If they have a direct claim upon any Government it is upon that of France, for that is the Government to the maintenance of which they contribute. With what show of reason can a congregation of English Churchmen residing in a foreign State address themselves to Parliament, and expect it to make an indiscriminate levy upon the public for their benefit ? Every argument which its promoters use in favour cf this grant may be turned against them with tenfcld effect by their opponents. If this spiritual destitution at Paris is so lamentable a matter, how is it that the parties principally con cerned make such slender effarts to free themselves from their painful situation ? It is easy enough to play the part of the daughter of the horseleech, and to cry, " Give, give !" but what have they given themselves ? Which is most to be dreaded—the loss of spiritual consolation, or of a sum ranging from 1001. to the wicliw's mite 1 Again, it is said that the case of Paris is exceptional. Whereas iu other foreign capitals there are but few English residents, and they are comparatively wealihy, in Paris the number of English residents is very con siderable, and they are of all classes. They constitute quite a colony or community. If this be so, there is tie more reason that they should help them selves. Among the Anglo-Parisians wealth, or at least opulence, predominates over poverty in a far greater degree than at home. Pre-eminently such a congregation should take care of itself, or at the very least make great efforts for its own preserva tion. After all, it is so slight a matter which is required on one side—so great an one.which is demanded on the other. The Anglo-Parisians ask the British Parliament to affirm the principle that the nation is responsible for the spiritual concerns of its mem bers being residents in foreign countries. The British Parliament declines to affirm that principle, and adds, " Principle apart, it seems very strange to us that the English community at Paris cannot make up among themselves, and with such assist ance as they could surely obtain from the private benevolence of the English who are in the habit of visiting Paris, the trifling sum which is required." Lord Cowley in one of his letters talks of the im possibility of making up even one half of the re quisite sum by the contributions of the English re sidents at Paris, but the truth is half the sum will not suffice. In place of 9,0001., the original sum, the cost now to be incurred is computed to amount to something more than 10,0001. The increase, we are told, depends entirely on the fiscal regula tions of the French Government, which levies some thing like 9 per cent. of the purchase-money upon each transfer of property of this description. It appears, on the other hand, that if the Anglo- Parisians, assisted by as many of their fellow-sub jects at home as can be induced to contribute to the fund, can succeed in raising 5,0001., the other moiety might be contributed under the 11th section of the Act 6th George IV., cap, Now, surely, if this slight effort cannot be made by the persons principally interested and by those who are most distinguished by their anxiety for the spiritual welfare of their brethren resident in foreign countries, the British nation collectively may reserve its sorrow for worthier objects. If this kind of mixed art angement cannot be carried out, the chapel must be sold by private contract, and the deficiency, if any there should be, must be made up in one manner or another. Lord Malmes bury is perfectly right in the decision at which he has arrived. Lord Cowley had proposed four schemes, all of which were rejected. The first two imposed upon the Minister the necessity of going to Parliament for a grant which, although it might be less in amount than the sum originally de manded, could only be claimed upon two principles, one of which had been pronounced untenable, and the other was vicious. The first was the principle rejected by the Commons last year ; the second w,,s the principle of taxing the community to get Ministers out of a scrape. Lord Cowley's first two propositions were :—First, to put the chapel up to aucdon, and to sell it to the highest bidder, Par liament undertaking to provide for any deficit that m ight remain ; secondly, to sell it by private con tract, Parliament in the saute way making itself responsible for any deficiency. Objectionable as these two propositions were, we prefer them to the two others brought forward by the English Am bassador. Lord Cowley's third and fourth propo sitions are as follows :—Third, that the purchase money should be borrowed. Parliament guaran teeing the payer cut of interest on the loan ; fourth, that Parliament should advance the money as a lean, to be repaid by the proceeds of the seat rents of the chapel. This would be in either case to con vert Parliament, as representing the British people, into the proprietary body of the little chapel in the Rue d'Aguesseau at Paris. We think we may ven ture without much presumption to say that the English nation declines very respectfully to engage in the transaction. The common sense of this matter is, that the Anglo-Parisians must bestir themselves in their own especial business. From our long experience of the great liberality which is invariably displayed in such matters by the English people in their private capacity we can have no doubt that if our fellow-countrymen at Paris give good evidence of their own sincerity and earnest ness on the point they will be largely assisted at home. The evidence required is a liberal subscrip tion. Let them form a committee, if this has not already been done, and go to work with that spirit and zeal which will infallibly insure success. When they have done their own part, but not till then, they may come over here, and they will certainly obtain aid and support at home. Let them, above all things, be careful to prove to the world that this is not some clergyman's job, but a real effort to pro vide for the spiritual destitution of our country men at Paris. The Shah of Persia, who is a great amateur of Arabic cahgraphy and of water-colour painting, is having pre pared, under his immediate and personal superintend ence, a magniffeent edition of the " Arabian Nights' Entertainments." During the last seven years the most celebrated Persian painters have been engaged in the illustration of this work, which has already cost 300,000 f., and will be a production unique of this kind.

THE ENGLIS. / e, ' - 7- "" -- `7 •/ , ~ NEWSPAPER -,-..----...- „ ( •,'-,f, MANLINESS OP PP.SBOII. 1,--4 * ' 'esP .'e A lecture recently delivered in ..earlisle, by NO:'.; :g 4 : Rev. A. Mufsell, contained the following amusing 4, . ' but instructive pass4ge :—The pellet to _which I , have next to dir ec t attention is manliness in speech. S There are many young men who seem to consider it essential to manliness, that they should be mas ters of slang. The spore ing - world, like its brother, the swell mob, has a language of its own ; but this dog-Englisla extends far beyond the sporting world. It comes with its hordes of barbarous words, threat ening the entire extinction of genuine English ! Now just listen for a moment to our fast young man, or the ape of a fast young man, who thinks that to be a man, he must speak in the dark phrase ology of slang. If. he does anything on his own responsibility, ho does it on his own "hook." If he sees anything remarkably good, he calls it a "stunner," the superlative of which is a "regular stunner." If a man is requested to pay a tavern bill, he is asked if he will "stand Sam 1" If he nie_es a savarre-looking deg, he calls him "an ugly cus'.orner." If he meets an eccentric man he calls him a " rummy old cove." A sens ibl e man is a ~ chap that is up to snuff." A man not remark able for , good s ense i s a " cake ''—a " flat "—a " spoou' —a " stick"--,,his mother does not know he is out." A. doubtful . assertion is to be " told to the marines." An incredible statement i s 41 a ll gammon." Our youn g f r i end never scolds, but " blows up"—never pays, but cc stumps up" —never finds it difficult to pay, but is "hard up" —never feels fatigued, but is " used - LT .', He has no hat, but shelters his head beneath a " tile." He wears no neckcloth, but sur rounds his throat with a " choker." Re lives nowhere, but there is some place where he " hones out." He never goes away or withdraws,- but he " bolts"—he "slopes"—be " mizzlea ", —he "makes himself scarce"—he "walks his chalks"—he " makes tracks"—he " cuts his stick" —or what is the same thing, he 'cents his lucky 1" The highest compliment you can, 'hay him is to tell him that he is a "regular brielUie e etlei does not profess to be brave, but he p ides himself on being "plucky." Money is a word which he has forgotten, but he talks a good deal about " tin,??eand. "the needful," " the rhino," and "the ready." When a man speaks, he "spouts," and when he holds his peace he "shuts up"—when he is humiliat.al, he is "taken down a peg or two," and made to "sing small." He calls his hands " paws," his legs " pins." To be perplexed,, is to be "flummoxed" —to be disappointed, is to be " dished"—to be cheated, is to he " sold"— to be cheated eleerly, is to be " done brown." Whatsoever is fine is " nobby,".--whatsoever is shabby, is " seedy," —whatsoever is pleasant, is "jolly." He says, "Blessed if he does this," " blowed if he does that," "hanged" if he does the other thing ; or he exclaims "My eye !" "my stars !" If you asked him which wire his stars he would be " flum maxed." Then be swears "By George"—" by the piper ;" on s e l ec t occas i ons h e selects' "the piper :hat played before Moses." Now a good deal of this slang is harmless—many of the terms are, I think, very expressive ; yet there is much in slang that is objectionable. For example, as Archdeacon Hare observes iu one of his sermons, the word "go vernor," as applied to a father, is to be reprehended. I have heard a young man call his father the "re lieving oilleer." Does it not betray on the part of young men great ignorance of the paternal and filial relationships, or great contempt for them ? Their father is to such young men m e rely a governor— merely the representative of authority. Innocently enough, the expression is used by thousands of young men who venerate and love their parents ; but only think of it, and I am sure you will admit that it is a cold. heartless word when thus applied, and one that ought forthwith to be abandoned. SKETCH OP NANA SAHIB. !(From Cltembers' Journal.) As we have no doubt that many of our readers would be glad to be acquainted with the parentage and other antecedents of the man who bears this blood-stained name, we propose, in the present article, to give a brief sketch of him. Nana Sahib, Rajah of Bitlaoor—whose correct names is Sree Munt Dhoondoo Punt—is the eldest son, by adoption, of the late Badjee Rao, ex-Peiahwa of the gabarat tas. For many years previous to his death Badjee Rao had been a dethroned pensioner of the East India Company. When in the fulness of his power he bad, as a native prince, assisted the East India Company in their war against Tippoo Sahib, the Tiger of Seringapatam, and, as a reward for his so doing, the company, after years of strife with him—after negotiations and exactions, and treaties, and violations of these treaties on their part — contrived, in 1817, to get hold of his dominions. After numerous and fierce conflicts, 13adjee Rao, at the head of 8,000 men, and with au advantageous post, was pre pared to do battle for the sovereignty of the Deccan ; when Brigadier-Gen. Sir J. Malcolm, who commanded the British army, sent a flag of truce to him, with pro posals fir a surrender. The proposals made on the part of Sir J. Malcolm were, that Ba,!;jee Rao, the Peishwa of the Mahrattas, should renounce his sovereignty altogether ; that he should come within 24 hours, with his family and a limited number of adherents and attendants, into the British camp ; that they should there be received with honour and respect ; that he should be located in the holy city of Benares, or in some other sacred place in Ilindostan ' • that he should have a liberal pension from the East India Company for himself and family ; that his old and attached adherents should be provided for ; and th,t the pension to be settled upon himself and family should not be lea than eight lees of rupees—that is, $O,OOO/. per annum. After long and anxious deliberation with his prime ministers and other great officers of State, the Peishwa a ccepted these proposals—went with hi s family and ad herents into the British camp—and Bithoor was after wards assigned as his residence. The East India Com pany, with their usual grasping and illiberal spirit of covetousness, were displeased with Sir John Malcolm for his granting these terms. But they, and the Gover nor-General, Lord Hardinge, could not rect de from them , ; and they took care tolimit the stipulat e d allow ance to the smallest sum mentioned in the treaty— namely, eight lace of rupees, or 80,0001. per annum. We have stated that the pension was to be conferred upon Badjee Rao and his family. Now, before we pro ceed further, we must mention that, by the Hind°, Shasters, or Scriptures, there is a fearful doom awarded against those who die childless ; that doom is the being consigned, after death, to " a place called Put, a place of horror, to which the manes of the childless are sup posed to go, there to be tormented with hunger and thirst, for want of these oblation of food and libatioue of water, at proscribed periods, which it is the pious and indeed indispen-able duty of a living son to offer." Stich :tee the principles of the Hindoo religion with regard to the want of natural male issue. Now the same principles in order to remedy the defect, permit the system of adoption where natural issue fails. It was in accordance with this that Badjee Rao, in his old age, fading himself naturally childless as to male issue, by his will declared Nana Sahib to be his eldest : son, heir, end representative. In his day Badjee Rao, as chief of the powerful Mah ratta nation, had been a great sovereign. He survived his downfall—exercising civil and criminal jurisdiction, on a limited scale, at Bithoor—thirty-five years. On the 28th of January, 1811, he died. No sooner wa4 his death made officially known, than Lerd Dalhousie tabled a minute to the Council Board of Calcutta, ruling that the pension, expressly guaranteed to the great Badjee Rao and his family, should not be continued to the latter. Nana Sahib, Badjee Rao'a widow, and the other members of his family, were na turally stricken with grief and terror. They saw teem selves reduced to poverty. They bad no other pecuniary resource than some trifling sum which Badjee Rao had left behind him. On the 24th June, 1851, Nana Sahib forwarded a memorial to the Lieutenant Governor of the North-west Provinces of India on the subject. In reply, he was told that the pension could not be continued, but a certain tract of laed would bo his for life. The Commissioner of Bithoor, a public officer of high rank and standing, and who knew the circumstances and claims of the ex- Peishwa's family, forwarded an urgent appeal on their behalf ; but, in a letter from a secretary of tkleGsevoveern_ Gover nor-General, of data Sept. 24, 185 1 , he r eceived a was atilt matised for so doing.
