All kinds of sinister anticipations are being now very freely indulged in by the enemies of Imperialism, in consequence of the results of this last General Election in France. According to their opinion-- the avi,h being, of cours , -, father to the thought the BONAPAP.TE Dynasty is at this juncture in immi nent peril of being sine] t from the. scone altogether. Accordir.g to them, NAPOLEON 111., after holding power for upwards of twenty years—first of all for about four years at the E!ysee, as Republican Pre sident, afterwards for upwards of sixteen at the Tuileries, as Emm:o::—is to terminate his career as Master of Francis. There is to bl a o , pilerencentent. It has been • insinuated as a pcsiiLie :result of (Le whole political situation, till!: precisely as tl e EMPEROR'S immediate predecessor, the Citiun King, LOUIS PHILIPPE, was compelled. to escape across tbe Channel in an old pea-jacket Under tbe travelling Lame of Mr. SN:::l—his Jajcsty N.17.:;;I:ON lIZ. raay uour, any day, to tai,. fiigLt froL P.:is in a similar manner, coming among us here into a THE SUN, LONDON, TL URSDAY EVENING, JUNE 3 1E69 fresh exile under the courtesy designation, just pos sibly, of Mr. BROWN. Insinuations, conjectures, sneers, gibes (however you may call them) of this character, are of course in themselves little better than mere impertinences. They revive rather vividly to our own remembrance the way in which the now Emperor, the then President,was habitually spoken of in the leading columns of no obscure journal, of no Hock-ley-in-the-Hole Gazette, of no Little Britain in telligence). as —M. BONAPARTE. The impertinence, then,was equally childish with these other im pertinencea which: are now being indulged in, of a different kind, in regard to that same personage. Flouted we were then ourselves, as " the base ex ception"—so the phrase ran—simply by reason of our declining to join in the choral revilings di rected, in that remote epoch as it seems to us noIV, against—M. BONAPARTE. Through out the whole of tle;lre last twenty years during which the Third NAPOLEON has held possession of supreme power in Paris, we cannot but recogn:ze in Lim the earnest and thoughtful ruler of France, the faithful and unfaltering ally of England. Personal Government is alien to our selves, hero in these islands, where for seve ral successive centuries Constitutional Government has been the national glory and the national boast. In France, however, Personal Government has been repeatedly a terrible but unavoidable necessity. It was so in the early days of the short-lived Republican Government which preceded Prince Louis Naro ',ma's election to the Presidency. It was as Dictator of France that General CAVAIGNAC, sword in Land, replaced the Provisional Government, and that, as eaea—ensea— of th. France, he swept the Red Democrats from the streets of Paris at the mouth of the cannon and at the point of the bayonet. Conjectures es to the course Lkely to be pursued under any supreme emergency by the present EMPEROR, betray anything but an appreciation of his character, which are coupled with the notion of his ever, by any possi bility, emulating the conduct of his royal prelecessor. The hiding behind the stove, the shaving off the whiskers, the huddlng on the disguise of the pea jacket, the ridiculous assumption of the name of SMITH, are not precisely the kind of incidents likely to be recorded in the closing chapters of the romantic history of the Emperor NAPOLEON 111. The Orleans King, immediately before his undignified downfall, boasted that Le was firmly in the saddle. Without boasting, NAPOLEON will be—is—firally in the B Iddle. If there is to be any kissing of the dust now, horse and rider will come down together— it will be like the fall of a Centaur. " How long will LOUIS NAPOLEON remain in power?" used to be the inquiry put on all hands immediately after the Prince was first of all elected to the Presidency. I'o that inquiry, we answer now, as we answered then a score of years ago—As long as he himself re mains in existence ! Of that, at leas', we are satisfied. If he falls, he will fall " dying in harness," as the phrase is. Whenever there is a talk even of any angry feeling against him on the part of the Parisians —at once We hear of the EMPEROR riling, without attendance, and riding slowly too, through the most disaffected quarters of the French metropolis. It is, as if upon these occasions he were eager to afford his foes their opportunity. It is, at the least, disarming antagonism by an exercise of magnanimous confidence in the honour of his re puted assailants. Neither the EMPEROR'S reign nor his personal popularity do we regard as at this moment in any way seriously jeopar dized. Concessions will be made to Public Opinion by the most astute and sagacious of living sovereigns, and the NAPOLEONIAN Dynasty will be rooted more strongly, thereby, than ever in the affec tions of the masses. Those. at any rate. are our an ticipations. GRIM-VISAGED war has smoothed his wrinkled front. The reports from America, which grew more and more gloomy after the almost unanimous rejec tion of the Alabama Treaty, have suddenly mode rated. A new reign —let us hope not a brief one — of friendly sentiment has been inaugurated. After Mr. SUMNER'S speech and the decisive vote by which it wf...s followed, the hostile tone of opinion in the United States became more and more marked. The American journals amused themselves with attempts to frighten us by semi-declarations of war, and succeeded, apparently, in frightening them selves by rumours of an impossible alliance against the United States. But the arrival of Mr. MOTLEY has dissipated all doubt as to the peaceful policy of President GRANT'S Cabinet, and the example of their ruler has had a very perceptible effect upon the people. But for greater reserve of tone and the absence of prophecy, the speech of the new American Ambassador was so friendly that it might worthily have represented Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON. And the telegram from New Yorii, which we publish to-day, shows that his pacific utterance has been fully endorsed in America. The New York Tribune leads the way with a tribute of friendship to this country. It might appear that one journal did not represent the United States, and that too much importance ought not to be attached to such a comment. As a rule this stricture would be just; but in this instance special significance is to be attached to the conver sion, for such it is, of the Tribune. It is a represen tative Republican paper. With the exception of the notorious Herald, its policy towards England on the Alabama difficulty has been more hostile than that of any other journal. It supported Mr. SumNrn's demands even when Americans generally had awakened to a sense of their extravagance; and its present attitude leaves the Herald in solitary glory. Public opinion in America may now be regarded as unanimously friendly to this country. This remarkable change cannot but be satisfactory to Englishmen, who, it may be fairly claimed, have set the example in conciliation. It is specially satis factory at this moment, for the much-looked-for correspondence between the two Governments on the subject of the Alabama claims has just been published, and it must be admitted that the informa tion it contains is not in itself of a reassuring character. The history of the treaty com menced by Lord STANLEY and . finished by Earl CLARENDON shewa clearly that the greatest conciliation was employed on the part of the British Government without success. The .policy of the Conservative Foreign Minister was continued by his successor. From the summary of the correspondence, which we publish in another column, it will be seen that the details of the treaty were almost entirely based upon the demands of Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON, When negotiations were re-opened about fifteen months ago, Mr. SEWARD commenced by insisting upon the preliminary settlement of the naturalisation diffi culty. It was regarded as of great im portance in America, and its settlement would pave the way for the solution of the Alabama problem. A naturalisation protocol was drawn up. Then the San Juan affair was settled to the satisfaction of the - United I States Government. Finally, the Alabama nego tiations opened about October. Mr REVEUDY JOHNSON suggested the principle of settlement by a Commission, he altered the place of meeting from London to Washington, and other details, all of which were con: - .•eiled. Put this treaty was rejected by the Ministry at Washington and another was drawn up, to which the British Government also assented. This second con vention was the subject of Mr. SUMNER'S speech. If concessions such as these were regarded • as too small, it might fairly be doubted whether anything tlLyt 11%; co - 4ld do would give satisfaction. But the new friendly overturoe of the .American people may I now be accepted without reference to the past. There is much room to hope that, notwithstanding this gloomy record of futile concessions, the difficulty may yet be settled. There is justification for the confidence that the difference cannot lead to war. THE " Moderator " of " the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland" has just delivered an address which is well worthy the attention of all persons who take an interest in ecclesiastical matters. Speaking to " the Right Reverend and Right Honourable" members of that body, he discussed at great length and with much eloquence the position of the Scotch Establishment in particular, and of established churches in general. Dr. NORMAN MAC LEop's views appear to be almost identical with those held by Dean STANLEY, who was a listener during the debates of the Assembly. Of his own Church Dr. MACLEOD has great hopes and a high opinion. lle says he never doubted that the Church of Scotland wes worthy of its members, but he has doubted sometimes if its members were worthy of the Church. Nevertheless he cannot shut his eyes to the fact that his Church has many enemies. The United Presbyterians hate it because it is established, the Free Church because it is Erastian ; Episcopacy denies the validity of its orders and sacraments; and Romanism, " strong in proportion as it is dis tant from Rome," opposes the Church on much the same grounds. Dr. MACLEOD keenly regrets this, because where there is so much hostility there must be danger, and because in that danger he sees a serious peril to religious liberty. Like Dean STANf.EY, he ardently desires a national Church—a Church which will embrace the whole nation in spite of differences of opinion. Such a Church he believes to be the true and only safeguard against " the tyranny of political ecclesiasticism," the only " guarantee for toleration, genuine liberty, and that measure of calm conservatism which is as essential as eager democracy for securing true progress and advancing the Christian civilisation of the country." It is with these convictions that he sees most regretfully the fate which has befallen the Irish Church. He would have reformed that Church, but have maintained the connection with the State. Its downfall as an Establishment, and the fast increasing hostility to State Churches, he deems due to the union of Voluntary and High Church principles ; in other words, to political and ecclesiastical aspirations. It is impossible not to respect, and to a certain extent, sympathise with the views of so catholic and philosophic a mind as Dr. MAcLr.on's. It is the more impossible, because it is clear that he is right in his account of the origin of the present move ment. But how can his theory of a State Church be realised in a country like Ireland, where there are two races of antagonistic creed ? How by any possibility can the Church of one-sixth of the popu lation, and alien to the other five-sixths, be made national ? In Scotland there is no such irreconcilable hostility between the various sections of Presby terians, and yet they have found it impossible to live together, have violently separated, have undergone what Dr. MACLEOD describes as an earthquake. Nay—for the question must be faced sooner or later—what hope is there of the long continuance of a national Church even in England, though one half of the population belongs to it ? The fall of that Church is every day being brought nearer, not so much by foes without as by members within. High, Low, and Broad not only can find no modus vivendi, but are endeavouring to thrust each other out. What real union is there in a Church whose members are arranging them selve3 into two separate and intermilitant organisa tions like the Church Union and the Church Associa tion ? It would be bad enough if these associations merely existed, but they also fight—they make war upon each other. There is far more hostility between them than there is between the Union and the Roman Catholic Church on the one hand, or between the Association and any of the Nonconformist bodies on the other. The clergy belonging to one faction will not admit into the pulpit, will not allow to -1,-, Li- .0 is no homogeneousness, no solidctrite in such a Church. There are but two alternatives, either the two factions must devise some compromise by which they can live ,I;ogether in peace, if not in har mony, or there must be a disruption. Those among us who would most lament that result are the most bound to set this inevitable issue before the rival factions. It is not we, but they, who will be respon sible for the catastrophe. It is not we, but they, who will have forced the nation into putting an end to a Church which, professing to be united, is utterly disunited, and into substituting for it two or three Churches which, no longer tied together by the chain of the State, will, if they choose to quarrel, at least be prevented from any longer forcing their disputes upon our courts of law.

How THE POOR ARE TREATED. —A poor matt came before Mr. Paget and complained of a trick practised upon him by a tradesman keeping a gen era l s h o p. He was a dock labourer with a large family, and on Tuesday when he came home he sent his little girl for a quarter of a hundred of coals and a halfpenny worth of vinegar; the cost of both would not exceed 41d. The girl put down a shilling in payment, and ths bhopkeepor took it up, put it in the till, and returned three halfpence change, saying, " Toll your mother that makes us right." The girl asked for 'he coals and vinegar, and the shopkeeper replied, "Tell your mother she was 103 d. in my debt. I have given you the throe halfpence, and now the debt 13 discharged. If your mother wants coals and vinegar she must send money for.the articles." Mr. Paget—Did your wife owe the shopkeeper ? The applicant—She owes him a fuw halfpence, whether it is lOid. or not she can't say. Mr. Paget—Do you charge the shopkeeper with stealing the money? Applicant—No Sir, I can't say that; some few halfpence is owing, no doubt. What I complain of is that, while I was wanting a few coals to cook a bit of food, my last shilling should have been taken from me in that manner. Mr. Pliget said it was sharp practice. He did not think any respectable tradesman would have done such a thing. The applicant could bring an action in the County Court for the recovery of the money. Before Le did so he had better examine the account between him and the shop keeper, or he might charge him with felony, but if he did so and failed an action could be brought against hint for false imprisonment, The Applicant—l had better let it alone. Thank you, air. Ile then departed. THE IRISHMAN AND THE SURPLICE.--William Dowlan, an Irishman, who said he had only been in this country three weeks, was brought up on remand before Mr. Paget charged with the unlawful possession of a surplice, the property of some person unknown. Harris, a police-constable, No. 383 K, said the prisoner told him a gentleman at Brighton gave him the surplice. He had made inquiries, and ascertained that to be false The surplice was stolen from the Spicer-street Roman Catholic Chapel in Spitalfields. A priest of the church, who attended, was sworn, and said there were three surplices hanging up in the Sacristy a few days ago, and he had since missed one of them. He believed the surplice now produced was the one missing. Harris—The prisoner offered the surplice for sale to 20 or 30 Jews before I took ham. They did not know what to do with it, and all refused to purchase it. The Prisoner—l took the surplice out of the vestry of the Roman Catholic Church. I saw three hanging up, and I took one of them. lam sorry I told a lie when I was here before. Let me go back to Ireland, and I will will never come here again the longest day I have to live. Mr. Paget could not part with the prisoner at present- He remanded him for another week. MISS BATE3IAN. A rumour that this accomplished lady will shortly appear in a new character, created expressly for her by the well-known author Tom Taylor, has created the deepest interest in literary and fashionable circles, mere especially as the play has been pro nounced by the professional gentlemen who were present at the first reading to be the crowning effort of the dramatist, and worthy the great talents of the consummate artist who is to be his interpreter. PRINCESS'S 7 IMATRE. List night Herr Formes made his appearance here in the character of Shylock. The utmost in terest attached to the event, the question to be solved being whether the illustrious foreigner was as great in dramatic characters on the English stage as he has hitherto been in vocal parts at the Italian Opera. Herr Formes " made up" very well for the char acter, but with regard to his embodiment of it, we cannot say more of it than that it was , a very clever performance for one who - kas hitherto so delighted the mus'e 11 world. The result of the experiment couvincea us that the forte of Herr Formes is musi c , not dramatic tragedy. There were a few good points exhibited during the performance, b u t t h e representat i on *as certainly not one that would please the true admirer of Shaks pere. The " programme" of last night contained an announcement that will please far better than Herr Formes's Shylock, and that is that the great artiste will appear on the 2d of August as Polyphe mus, iu " Acis and Galatea." The performance of last evening is to be repeated for a limited number of nigh's, and will, doubtless, present attractions enough to secure crowded hou,e:-.1 on each evening of performance.

WESTMINSTER. AN UNFOUNDED CIIARGE. - Mr. Stephen Puzey, of the World's End public-house, close to Cremorue Gardens, was summoned for assaulting a woman named Jane Sin clair. Mr. W. D. Smythiett, solicitor, of Ilochestor-row, ap peared foe the complainant, and Mr. Atm:Tn., o f L ow _ ctreet, for the defence. The complainant stated that she was standing quietly near the defendant's house, when ho came out, knocked her down, and when she was on the ground kicked her in the ribq, and sho had to be under the doctor's Lands ev,:r since. She called two witnesses in support, and it was elicited that ono had kept a brothel, and the complainant admitted bring at this Court three times for disorderly conduct and drunkonne:s. Mr. Abrams said this. WAS an attempt to extort mon y. The complainant used bad language, and Mr. asked her, to go away ; she refused ; he pushed her off his step, and by reason of her druukJuuess she fell into the road and was covered with mud.

A party of police made searches yesterday for arms in the Fenian quarters. Allis, the man . arrested for Bradshaw's murder in Tipperary, will be discharged, as there is really no evidence against him. A Cork correspondent telegraphs tLat Fenian manifes toes have to-day been extensively posted and circulated in that city, beginning "God save Ireland; our prayer is heard." The bills declare the spirit of William Allen is not dead, and that what William of Orange did shall be undone. They urge that all Orangemen and Protestants shall ho speedily put to death, and that Erin shall be conquered and have restored to her sons all the land, and property of efery description in the possession of Protestants. POSTAL CO2IIMUNICATION WITH AUSTI?ALIA. Among the parliamentary papers just issued is a copy of the correspondence between the Home Government and the Australian Government on the subject of pcstal communication. The first despatch from the Earl of Belmore to the Duke of Buckingham is dated May 20, 1863, and contains a minute submitted to the Executive Council at Sydney by the Postrnaster•General of New South Wales, who strongly disapproved of the report of the Imperial Postmaster-General. The Sydney official complains that the interests of the Australian colonies, with the exception of Victoria, have been ignored, and that the whole question has been argued as if only the interests of Melbourne were to be consulted. The plan approved by the colonies generally was that of a fortnightly service to each colony at a cost not exceeding £400,000 per annum, the coat to be equally divided between Great Britain and the Austra lasian colonies. This arrangement would involve an addi tional mail once in four weeks from Singapore to Bombay. In other respects it would harmonise with existing arrange ments. The disadvantage is that it excludes New Zealand. The Sydney Chamber of Commerce and the Melbourne Chamber of Commerce both strongly reedit mend the adoption of a fortnightly mail. The two last despatches of the series contain the proposal of the Duke of Buckii gham to hold Cie matter in abeyance, as the matter has been again referred to the colonies. THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. The correspondence respecting the negotiations with the United States Government on the Alabama claims, the British claims, the questions of Naturalisation, and the San Juan Boundary, has just been published. The first despatch is dated February 15, 1868. It is from Lord Stanley to Mr. Thornton, and states that Mr. Seward had expressed a wish that some means might be found of arranging the differences existing between Eng land and the United States. The questions causing these differences were enumerated by Mr. Seward as follows: — The Alabama claims, the San Juan question, the question of naturalised citizens, their rights and position, and the fishery question. It was urged on the side of the United States that the naturalisation and the San Juan questions should be taken first, and this was accordingly done. Then came the Alabama claims. On October 21, 1868, Lord Stanley writes that Mr. Reverdy Johnson had called on him the day before, anti " much conversation passed between us, in the course of which Mr. Reverdy Johnson again put forward the proposal adverted to in Mr. Seward's former despatches, viz., that all •he claims on both sides should be referred to the aecision of commissioners, who should be, in equal 'umbers, British subjects and American citizens ; 'rho, if they disagreed, should have power to call ;n an umpire; and whose decision with such assistance should he final." It will thus be seen that the machinery hicb, with a trifling difference, was subsequently adopted was, like almost all the stipulations, of American origin. We must call particular attention to another passage of this despatch. Lord Stanley writes :—" In this conversation little was said as to the point on which '.he former negotiation was broken off—viz., the claim made by the United States Government to raise before the arbiter the question of the alleged premature recog nition by her Majesty's Government of the Confederates as belligerents. I stated to Mr. Reverdy Johnson that we could not on this point depart from the position we bad taken up, but I saw no impossibility in so framing the reference as that by mutual consent, either tacit or express, the difficulty might be avoided." The Times says it is evident from this conversation, and from the subsequent Convention, that the grievance of the Neutrality Proclamation was not insisted upon at that time by the United States Government. Indeed, as we shall bee presently, it was only rr..-ivecl a, few w.•rhD übv by Mr. Reverdy Johnson as a last device for making his work palatable to the Senate. Negotiations now went on rapidly, and on November 10, a " Convention for the Settlement of all Outstanding Claims" was s'gaed, the agreement which was to remove all causes of bitterness between the two countries being announced with much complacency by Mr. Johnson at the Lord Mayor's dinner. Up to this moment her Majesty's Government had no doubt at all that Mr. Reverdy Johnson was fully autho rised by his instructions to agree to the terms actua ly settled. Yet this Convention of November 10 was thrown over by the American Government. Mr. Thornton writes on November 30 that Mr. Seward had informed him that the contents of the Convention were not in accordance with the instructions given to Mr. Reverdy Johnson, that the President and his colleague could not approve certain of the stipulations, and that, in its present form, the Convention would not receive the sanction of the Senate. The Ministry in England had been changed, and it became the duty of Lord Clarendon to decide on the propriety of a new Convention. The amend ments demanded by the United States were numerous and important, the omission of three articles relating to the arbitration on the Alabama claims, among other changes, being required. On December 24 Lord Clarendon wrote that the Government were prepared to meet the wishes of the United States, and he sent a draft Convention, in which everything the Americans asked was substantially conceded. Finally, the negotia tion was completed on January 14, 1869, by the signing of the second Convention, the instrument which has been lately rejected by the American Senate. One of the most singular incidents is yet to be told. As late as the 22nd of March last, Mr. Reverdy Johnson called on Lord Clarendon to propose that another amend ment should be made in the much -amended Convention. This was nothing less than that the two Powers should submit to arbitration all claims of each Government on the other, as wellas theclaimsof individuals. The intention, of course, was that the question of the liability of England for the Queen's Proclamation should be submitted among the others for the judgment of the tribunal. Mr. Reverdy Johnson's language is singular:—" My Government believes, as I ant now advised, that it has a claim of its own upon her Majesty's Government, be cause of the consequences resulting from a premature recognition of the Confederates during our late war." It is sufficient to add that this amendment was courteously declined, and that any further suggestions of the American Envoy were cut short by the rejection of the Conven tion by the American Senate on April 13, after-it had been under consideration for no less a period than three months. Thus has ended this remarkable negotiation, in which our Government, the 7 iracs thinks, appears to have carried conciliation and forbearance to the utmost, only to meet with ever new and. more exorbitant demands. The Triennial Choral Festival in aid of the National Society for Promoting the Education of the Poor took place OA Wednesday in Westminster Abbey. The sermon was preached by Dean Stanley. . THE TRUSTEES OF THE PEABODY FUND.—Sir Stafford Northcote has been appointed one of the trustees of the Peabody Fund for the benefit of the London poor, in the room of Sir Emerson 'ferment, deceased. The trustees now are Lord Stanley (chairman), Sir Curtis Lampson, the American Minister, Sir Stafford Northcote, and Mr. J. S. Morgan. THE BANQUET TO MINISTER.—With reference to the project which has been broached of entertaining the two new members of the Reform Club, Earl Granville and Mr. Gladstone, at a dinner, the London correspondent of the Bury a n d N orw i c h P os t says t h e di f fi cu lty as to space is in the way. The dining-room of the club would not be nearly large enough for all the members, and though all would not probably he there, arrangements would have to be made for them. There is a dislike to go elsewhere for the banquet, and so the scheme for the moment is in abeyance. A DESERTER IN A PACKING-!ASE. —A despatch from Kingston (Canada) to the Toronto Glo'ie of the 20th ult., says : " A man by the name of John Newman was charged at the police-court this morning with assisting soldier of the Royal Artillery to desert, b y boxing him up in a large case, and conveying him to Cape Vincent by the steamer Watertown. It appeared that the box containing the man was yesterday afternoon conveyed to the wharf and carefully deposited upon the two o'clock boat., as crockery-ware and glass, directed to Mr. R. E. Fox, St. Lawrence Hotel, Cape Vincent, N.Y. The box was conveyed to its destination, accompanied by the prisoner, and carefully deposited upon the wharf there, and w h en o p e ned by the direction of the Custom House officers, a live artilleryman got out, somewhat cramped by his con fined. position, and rather red iu the face, but nQtlt) the worse for his teProrary ..makr SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times says that if Eastern sovereigns have begun somewhat late to form just conceptions of European civilisation, we, OR the other hand, have had to learn a similar lesson with respect to them. The Sultan, perhaps► has always been a reality in Western eyes; but, with that exception, it has always been a difficulty with those who had charge of our interests in the East to induce English people to recognise the real position of the Oriental chiefs and sovereigns with whom we bad to deal. This ;glace ranee or carelessness has probably occasioned as great an amount of misunderstanding in our dealings with the East as would sometimes have arisen from wilful con' tempt. Our unfortunate mistake in neglecting Theodore's letter is but a small case in point. There can be no excuse, however, for any such misapprehension with regard to the Viceroy of Egypt. There are few sovereigne from whom we have received, and are continually re ceiving, so much assistance, or whose goodwill is of more consequence to us. It should always be remembered that the Isthmus of Suez, over which our most important coin' munications with India are constantly passing, is in the territory of this sovereign, and that, as has once occurred already, we may depend upon his countenance at ail critical moment for the means of maintaining our Eastern empire. The Viceroy has given abundant evidence, not only that he appreciates the importance of his country'sposi• tion, but that he is capable of acting worthily of it. He has recently given not only his sanction, but the whole weight of his authority to an enterprise which would be creditable to the most enlightened sovereign. The Viceroy arrives at a propitious moment when his confidence in Englishmen , as well as his enlightened anxiety for the progress of hie people, has been thus displayed. We need not say that his unbounded hospitality to the Prince and the Princess of Wales is still fresh in our memories, and the Prince, We are sure, will not fail in his own person to make a fitting return. The Government, we hope, will second the wishl of the country and the feelings of the Prince, and vviu receive their guest with a due regard to the honour of England, as well as to the important interests of which the Viceroy shews himself so energetic a guardian. The Herald says that the arrival of the new Minister who has been accredited to our Court by the Governmen t of the United States of Ameiica was made the occasion °I a p!easant interchange of speeches at Liverpool. It i ° now more the fashion than it used to be to offer a cere' monious welcome to the representatives of foreign Powers on their first landing on our shores, and if such a m ethod of congratulation appears to have something of stiffueas and formality about it, this is the less to be regretted inasmuch as it serves as a medium for the interchange o f those friendly expressions, those terms of regard, which, however unnecessary they may seem betwen kindred nations, do certainly tend to the promotion of peace an d concord. It is just as desirable at this moment that we in England should give a cordial welcome to Mr. Motley as that he, on his part, should give us the assurance that we have not yet altogether lost the good will of our cousin° . For it cannot be denied that the events of the last fe° days have somewhat ruffled the tranquil waves of our late good understanding. America is rot so foolish or so Inv natural as to wish to go to war with England, and in th e utter absence of any reasonable motive for war the assurances given us by the new Minister are well timed and appropriate, and we feel quite sure that as soon 0° some little time has been given for the subsidence of the irritation which has been caused by this too animated di S . cussion, the Christian men of one blood and language °I ; either side of the Atlantic will be just as ready and 8. eager to hold out the hand to one another as were WI Motley and the Mayor of Liverpool on Monday. The Star observes that a history of the Turf, whi ch dropped the horses altogether and gave only the biographi c ' of their adventurous owners, would be an instructi ve record ; but it would be sadly incomplete if the gentleraeri who combine with the functions of trainers or solicitor° those of the money-lender did not enter largely into the‘ narrative. The Jockey Club should employ a co mpetel writer to illustrate and embellish the modern life ° the Turf. He need not be a man of imagination, f or the simple truth—unadorned and without the slightest. attempt at exaggeration—would far surpass the boldes t flights of romance. Noble fortunes are being cf. stantly wrecked—noble families trailed through the dust ; and what for ? Who profit by these 3511 ' . fortunes ? Men of whom the world knows nothing and cares less, but who, in spite of their modeetP make their names strangely familiar in every household' It is clear that the greatest of British pastimes is on it s trial, and it is equally certain that the Jockey Club ft unable or unwilling to exert an authority which inie u , prove largely efficacious. It may be said that if a fooli6' man does not get rid of his money in one way he will d _ ) , so in another. This is quite true ; but it is not the le ! the duty of society to impose such checks and restrain; as it may be able upon those who are tempted to leap in et the gulf. The law against betting-houses is positive At cfrh , oent. It is ent,,,d with the utmost rigour. this moment it operates against the poor, and not agail ie l the rich ; but unless a great change t a ke s pl ace , this ro ve e distinction will not long continue to b e o b ser ved, and u Legislature will interfere to restore an ancient sport to Primitive character and object. The Standard declares it is inevitable that between tv e : such countries as Great Britain and the United St ate the postal service should ultimately cease to be a matter of revenue. The extent of ocean to be crossed is larg e ' but the correspondence to be carried is out of all pro O re tion to it. We have so many interests in common ; se so have such a perpetually accruing commerce, a nd e t incessant are the demands upon the cable telegraph t`' it is evident we must, before long, adopt a new sr;t en° ‘.O of postage. We concur warmly with those nj plead for a popular postage between us elt stir brethren on the other side of the sea. ae , would be an advance in civilisation ; it is an 1 . ; 11 which has long been ripening in the public mind ; the Administration, whatever we may think of its po is bound by its contracts, which it is too late for Far ll° ; ment to repudiate. No doubt a controversy might aurvse upon the point whether a service carried on by slow e'''Aei W would be an infringement of the privileges granted ill-0 great ocean liners. If that difficulty could be settle to other would remain. It is admitted by Lord liartingn,, that of the two classes we have mentioned, one—the 01, grant class—is almost entirely debarred from correePlio dence with this country. The serious part matter is the uncertainty in which it is involved. Alibeli ters appear to have no mind about it. Three of t e _ t. spoke, and with a glorious confusion of s entinl :o , Lord Hartington conceded the necessity of rednicloos whilst believing that it would do no good. Mr. Glaueliact first remarked that the resolutions were not die, 3;0 fp enough, and afterwards that they were too definite. 13, to h ig Ayrton, with the peculiar blandness belonging kicked over, we suppose under instructions, both of 0 0 colleagues, and promised to open negotiations. I °,o result we have a state of things amounting to thie---or contracts exist ; that public opinion considers them e ' i od bitant, without desiring to commit a breach of faith; that for a double reason we must wait during a time vet to be calculated for a penny postage with America' elf The Telegraph thinks there is something extrero - n i attractive in Mr. Saely's proposal of an ocean Ve il & postage across the Atlantic ; and the plan by which member for Lincoln proposes to carry ou t th e p r oject P. r y not a little to recommend it. H e sugges t s th a t 01- 0 if r i steamer plying between Great B r it a i n an d the 'ao States should be allowed to c arr y mails at a remunerat,ll-,, of one penny for ea c h letter. Those steamers, necess a f7a could not be bound to perform their passage in a Vgli number of days, or a t a fi xe d spee d ; an d pro b a bly eno n e o the various lines of emigrant steamers which ply betn v eo our ports and America would gladly avail theme e of the privilege. Merchants and other correspond °$ who are anxious that their letters should, ,7 - tbe their destination at a given time, and with v ad utmost possible speed, would not of course °. llO O themselves of this slow and cheap route. d ' people to whom the difference between a penny a n e ed pence is of consequence are not as a rule much coneervo whether their letters come to hand a few hours. ;• j e eet sooner or later ; and a penny postage would, we n"'' '' s o open up a vast correspondence between the millionrich emigrants who have left these shores for the New W° and their countryfolk at home. In fact, we can see to positive objection to Mr. Seely's scheme for g rantin e g steamers the right of conveying letters to America ot. ,0 penny, except the probability that the privilege Oc',o interfere seriously with the amount earned by the P° 5 0 .0 on letters carried by the subsidised steamers , an d W et, therefore, entail a heavy charge on the public excheclne Meanwhile, our Government has pledged itself to cow:so nicate with the United States Administration as reg te of the practicability of establishing a much reduced l'ttea' postage across the Atlantic ; and all who desire the e'jea sion of friendly intercourse between England andAw`"- will earnestly await the issue. vt / The Times thinks that the principle, not alwaysolD consistently or distinctly kept in view, even of the Pr Cate, law of bankruptcy, is that the main duty of the I t ore in bankruptcy legislation, is to provide that the cre 'tee have authority given them to possess themselves A i !,,,e'la ear li es t practicable date of the wreck of their deT e ale or rather their.own property, and then that an ectn i fiat distribution be made of it among them. The ye ° of c haracteristic of this bill, designed for the retornour that law, is that the State is to withdraw in i,,. e ` t ieth of the creditors, who are the sole interested fsf from any concern in the distribution, except, s t `.' t o f as it is necessary that it should retain a rig ies supervision, in order to protect individual creditors ag'avic being defrauded or overlook e d in the distribution. ha p ruptcy produce's certain new relations between the ve sts' rapt and society as well as his creditors ; and thedjecfi gation which follows on bankruptcy may reveal o w its on the part of the bankrupt, and which is connecteal 0,1 his becoming a bankrupt, which is highly crinn', l3 4 deserving of punishment. But the more indepeno*t ol criminality of the act in relation to society can be '‘,4"t the procedure which his creditors are entitled to,.tbeit foot against their debtor's estate for the recoverY.o,l,Ao, its property, the more sure the procedure is to atot„'„ nd lio ends, and not the less sure are the demands of l' o bere morality to attain theirs.
