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 Hockley-in-the-Hole Gazette, of no Little Britain In telligencer as —M. BONAPARTE. The impertinence, then, was equally childish with these other im pertinences whichi 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 now, against—M. BONAPARTE. Through out the whole of these last twenty years during which the Third NAPOLEON has held possession of supreme power in Paris, we cannot but recognize in him the earnest and thoughtful ruler of France, the faithful and unfaltering ally of England. Personal Government is alien to our selves, here in these islands, where for seve ral successive centuries Constitutional Government has beeu 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 NAPO LEON'S election to the Presidency. It was as Dictator of France that General CAvAicsstao, word in hand, replaced the Provisional Government, and that, as Generalissimo of the troops of 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 as to the course likely 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, emulatiug the conduct of his royal predecessor. The hiding behind the stove, the shaving off the whiskers, the huddling 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 he was firmly in the saddle. Without boasting, NAPOLEON will be—is —firmly in the saddle. 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 mill 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. co 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 least, we are satisfied. If he falls, be 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 sagaciJus 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 was 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 oV the new American Ambassador was so friendly that it might worthily have represented Mr. REVEItDY JOHNSON. And the telegram from New York, which we publish to-day, shews 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. SUMNER'S demands even when Americans generally had awakened to a sense of their extravagance ; and its present attitude leaves the Herald in solitaiy 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 shews 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. SEW ARD commence d b y i ns i s ti ng u p o n 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 States Government. Finally, the Alabama nego tiations opened about October. Mr REVF.IIDY 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 conceded. But 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 that we could do would give satisfaction. But the new friendly overtures of the American people may 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 MACLEOD'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. MAC LF.OD has great hopes and a high opinion. He says he never doubted that the Church of Scotland was worthy of its menfbers, 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 STANLEY, 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. MACLEOD'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 selves 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 officiate at the altar, the clergy of the other. There is no homogeneousness, no solidarite in such a Church. There are but two alternatives, either the two factions must devise some compromise by which they can live k.gether 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. tbsiiTt, "P.

A NICE COMPARISON.—Peter King, a carman, living at Notting-hill, was charged by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, as follows : The prisoner was seen by Sell, one of the officers of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals, driving a horse attached to a cart laden with bricks and paving stones ; the horse being very lame and bear ing marks inside the thighs, showing that it had been severely flogged to get it along, the officer stating that they were Ecored exactly like pork. In answer to a question, the officer said that the horse was quite unfit for work of the kind. The prisoner said it was the first day he had been out with the horse. A fine of 20s. was inflicted on the prisoner, and a summons ordered to be taken out against the owner of the horse. THAMES. 110 w THE POOR ARE TREATED. A poor man came before Mr. Paget and complained of a trick practised upon him by a tradesman keeping a general shop. He was a dock labourer with a large family, and on Tuesday when he came home he sout his little girl for a quarter of a hundred of coals and a halfpenny worth of vinegar; the cost of both would not exceed 4}d. The girl put down a shilling in payment, and the shopkeeper took it up, put it in the till, and returned three halfpence change, "Ying, " Tell your mother that makes us right." The girl asked for the coals and vinegar, and the shopkeeper replied, "Tell your mother she was old. in my debt. I have given you the three halfpence, and now the debt is discharged. If your mother wants coals and vinegar she must send money forth aiticles." Mr. Paget —Did your wife owe the shopkeeper 100 ? The applicant—She owes him a few 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. Paget said it was sharp practice. Ile 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 he 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 him for false imprisonment. The Applicant—l had better let it alone. Thank you, sir. He then departed. THE IRISHMAN AND THE SURPLICE.--William Dowlan, an Irishman, who said he had only been in this country th.tae weeks, was brought up on remand before Mr. Paget charged with the unlawful possession of a surplice, the property of come 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 Homan 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—TLe prisoner offered the surplice for sale to 20 or 30 Jews before I took him. 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 Boman 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 litre Mr. Paget could not part with the prisoner at present. He remanded him for another week. WESTMINSTER. AN UNFOUNDED CHARGE. -- Mr. Stephen Puzey, of the World's Eud public-house, close to Oremorne Gardens, was summoned for assaulting a woman named Jane Sin clair. Mr. W. D. Smythies, solicitor, of Rochester-row, ap poarcd foe the complainant, and Mr. Abrams, of Bow street, for the defence. The complainant stated that she was standing quietly near the defendant's house, when he came out, knocked her down, and when she was on the ground kicked her in the ribs, and she had to be under the doctor's hands ever since. She called two witnesses in support, and it was elicited that one had kept a brothel, and the complainant admitted being at this Court three times for disorderly conduct and drunkenness. Mr. Abrams said this was an attempt to extort money. The complainant used bad language, and Mr. Puzey asked her to go away ; she refused ; he pushed her off his step, and by reason of her drunkenness she fell into the road and was covered with mud. Mr. Puzey never left his door, and it was a lie to say he lifted his foot ut all. Evidence was given to this effect. Mr. Arnold told Mr. Smythies it could not be resisted, and dismissed the summons. MISS BATEMAN. 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, more 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 di aniatist, and worthy the great talents of the consummate artist who is to be his interpreter. PRINCESS'S 7 Hh,ATRE: Last 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 has hitherto so delighted the music.il world. The result of the experiment convinces us that the forte of Herr Formes is music, not dramatic tragedy. There were a few good points exhibited during the performance, brit the representation was 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, in " Acis and Galatea." The performance of last evening is to be repeated for a limited number of nights, and will, doubtless, present attractions enough to secure crowded houses on each evening of performance.

EXCITEMENT AT CORK. A correspondent telegraphs as follows :"—"At A circus exhibition ot Tuesday night the mob pelted the people with stones. A party of police Interfered. The mob showered stones on the police from high ground, and severely wounded one constable in the head. ;Ultimately the police dislodged the mob. A . party of police made searches yesterday for arms in the Ferian 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 be speedily put to death, and that Erin shall be conquered and have restored to her sons all the land, and property of every description in the possession of Protestants. POSTAL COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTRALIA. Among the parliamentary papers just issued is a copy of the correspondence between the Home Government and the Australian Government on the subject of postal communication. The first despatch from the Earl of Belmore to the Duke of Buckingham is dated May 20, 186 S, and contains a minute submitted to the Executive Council at Sydney by the Postmaster-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 cost 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 recom mend the adoption of a fortnightly mail. The two last despatches of the series contain the proposal of the Duke of Buckingham to hold the 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, an " 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 be final." It will thus be seen that the machinery r,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 lition by her Majesty's Government of the Confederates us 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 see presently, it was only revived a few weeks ago 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 ail Outstanding Claims" was signed, 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 actually 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 well as the claims of 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 limes 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 on 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 Tennent, 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 MINISTERS.—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 and Norwich Post says the difficulty 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 be there, arrangements would have to be made for them. There is a dislike to go elsewhere for the b anquet, and so the scheme for t h e momen t is in abeyance. A DESERTER IN A PACKING-CASE.—A despatch from Kingston (Canada) to the Toronto Clo'g of the 20th ult., says : " A man by the name of John Newman was charged at the police-court this morning with assisting a soldier of the Royal Artillery to desert, by 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 when opened by the direction of the Custom House officers, a live artilleryman got out, somewhat cramped by his con. fined position, and rather red in the face, but none the worse for is temporary boxing,", SPIRIT OF irIE PDSLIC JOURNALS. The Times says that if Eastern sovereigns have began somewhat late to form just conceptions of European civilisation, we, on the other band, have had to learn $ similar lesson with respect to them. The Sultan, perhaps , has alwaysbeen 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 chief ° and sovereigns with whom we had to deal. This %Il e. rance or carelessness has probably occasioned as great en amount of misunderstanding in our dealings with the East as would sometimes have arisen from wilful COy 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 wit h regard to the Viceroy of Egypt. There are few sovereign ° from whom we have received, and are continually re' ceiving, so much assistance, or whose goodwill is of more consecinence to us. It should always be remembered tbilt the Isthmus of Suez, over which our most important cony 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 le critical moment for the means of maintaining our Easters empire. The Viceroy has given abundant evidence, IPt only that he appreciates the importance of his country'sP o tion, but that he is capable of acting worthily of it. Ho recently given not only his sanction, but the wholeweight his authority to an enterprise which would be creditable to the most enlightened sovereign. The Viceroy arrives A t a propitious moment when his confidence in Englisblvel l ' as well as his enlightened anxiety for the progress of big people, has been thus displayed. We need not say that his unbounded hospitality to the Prince and the Princess ( ' Wales is still fresh in our memories, and the Prince, vie are sure, will not fail in his own person to make a &till return. The Government, we hope, will second the ate , of the country and the feelings of the Prince, and I ° , receive their guest with a due regard to the honour England, as well as to the important interests of why the Viceroy chews himself so energetic a guardian. The Herald says that the arrival of the new Minist er who has been accredited to our Co ur t by th e G ov ernmen t of the United States of America was made the occasion °' a pleasant interchange of speeches at Liverpool 14 now more the fashion than it used to be to offer a eery monious welcome to the representatives of foreign PoWel l , on their first landing on our shores, and if such a meth od of congratulation appears to have something of 800 and formality about it, this is the less to be regretted inasmuch as it serves as a medium for the interchange ei those friendly expressions, those terms of regard, whi ch. „ however unnecessary they may seem betwen kinn nations, do certainly tend to the promotion of peace al l concord. It is just as desirable at this moment that W e in England should give a cordial welcome to Mr. Motleys' that he, on his part, should give us the assurance that We have not yet altogether lost the good will of our cool° For it cannot be denied that the events of the last fe l days have somewhat ruffled the tranquil waves of our late good understanding. America is rot so foolish or Ill y natural as to wish to go to war with England, and in tile utter absence of any reasonable motive for war the • assurances given us by the new Minister are well time d and appropriate, and we feel quite sure that as soon some little time has been given for the subsidence o f the irritation which has been caused by this too animated di e ' cussion, the Christian men of one blood and language ° either side of the Atlantic will he just as ready and its eager to hold out the hand to one another as were Si r ' Motley and the Mayor of Liverpool on Monday. The Star observes that a history of the Turf, wehlch dropped the horses altogether and gave only the biograPh i ' of their adventurous owners, would be an instructi/e record ; but it would be sadly incomplete if the gentlers° who combine with the functions of trainers or solicitor: those of the money-lender did not enter largely into ti l t narrative. The Jockey Club should employ a comPet eri writer to illustrate and embellish the modern life of the Turf. He need not be a man of imagination, lt) s the simple truth—unadorned and without the slight ee attempt at exaggeration—would far surpass the bel de fi t l flights of romance. Noble fortunes are being e f t -- ; stantly wrecked—noble families - trailed through l'" dust ; and what for ? Who profit by these In': fortunes ? Men of whom the world knows nothiss and cares less, but who, in spite of their model: make their names strangely familiar in every househ ° t It is clear that the greatest of British pastimes is o ar , trial, and it is equally certain that the Jockey Club b ij t unable or unwilling to exert an authority which Wig prove largely efficacious. It may be said that if a f°,, 1 1 0 man does not get rid of his money in one way he w ill so in another. This is quite true ; but it is not the l e e s the duty of society to impose such checks and rest rain as it may be able upon those who are tempted to R to AP i n a the gulf. The law against betting-houses is positive s % stringent. It is enforced with the utmost r i g our. ' it this moment it operates against the poor, a n d no t ags ill ;l the rich ; but unless a great change takes place, this 1 1 °L distinction will' not long continue t o b e observed, an d t ' Legislature will interfere to restore an ancient sport tol primitive character and object. The Standard declares it is inevitable that between ttl,. such countries as Great Britain and the United St ate ,. the postal service should ultimately cease to be a rent ot e of revenue. The extent of ocean to be crossed is largr: but the correspondence to be carried is out of all 1 0° P ° 0 tion to it. We have so many interests in common; have such a perpetually accruing commerce, an d o t incessant are the demands upon the cable telegraph t eo it is evident we must, before long, adopt a new 098t 1 3 0 of postage. We concur warmly with those vi o l plead for a popular postage between us It our brethren on the other side of the sea* ide p would be an advance in civilisation ; it is an 01 which has long been ripening in the public mind ; 1 , 8 . ci , the Administration, whatever we may think of its no. is bound by its contracts, which it is too late for Fe r a ment to repudiate. No doubt a controversy might n b i ri ps . upon the point whether a service carried on by slow t be would be an infringement of the privileges granted 1 • ° , n o great ocean liners. If that difficulty could be settleutoa other would remain. It is admitted by Lord Hartineoi. that of the two classes we have mentioned, one—the to grant class—is almost entirely debarred from corre t sribe dence with this country. The serious part T r • matter is the uncertainty in which it is involved. 1 ",: he ol ters appear to have no mind about it. Three of b_ ot , spoke, and with a glorious confusion of sentiin,e;op, Lord Hartington conceded the necessity of redu ce whilst believing that it would do no good. Mr. Glan e t i a ct first remarked that the resolutions were not dis Aft, enough, and afterwards that they were too definite. 11 7 0 , Ayrton, with the peculiar blandness belonging t° aiS kicked over, we suppose under instructions, both colleagues, and promised to open negotiations. ill & bt result we have a state of things amounting to this-lor• i contracts exist • that public opinion considers them e bitant, without desiring to commit a breach of faith ; p 0 that for a double reason we must wait during a time yet to be calCulated for a penny postage with America' The Telejraph thinks there is something extrerni attractive in Mr. Seely's proposal of an ocean feTas postage across the Atlantic ; and the plan by whicil, li member for Lincoln proposes to carry ou t th e pro jeo„ not a little to recommend it. H e suggests t h a t 04 steamer plying between Great Britain and the States should be allowed t o carry ma i ls at a remuneri'lij, of one penny for each letter.

In fact, we can i ! n g to positive objection to Mr. Seely's scheme for grantl fo r 0 1 steamers the right of conveying letters to Anier icib s colll' a penny, except the probability that the privilege s tae interfere seriously with the amount earned by the 1: 4 2, 00 1 on letters carried by the subsidised steamers, and o er. therefore, entail a heavy charge on the public excheqoa. Meanwhile, our Government has pledged itself to cetrdS nicate with the United States Administration as re :iv s f the practicability of establishing a much reduced r atty postage across the Atlantic ; and all who desire the "eriee sion of friendly intercourse between England audit° will earnestly await the issue. fel The Times thinks that the principle, not alwel l os ee' consistently or distinctly kept in view, even of the P co tes law of bankruptcy, is that the main duty of the : A 4,01 4 in bankruptcy legislation, is to provide that the nryi th e have authority given them to possess themselves, Itor'it earliest practicable date of the wreck of their ne`h a ble, or rather their own property, and then that an eell'os , distribution be made of it among them. The pe e - of characteristic of this bill, designed for the retorr7our that law, is that the State is to withdraw in Par of the creditors, who are the sole interested for, from any concern in the dist r ib u tion, except,lt or as it is necessary that it should retain a r l in i ie o supervision, in order to protect individual creditors atolr• being defrauded or overlooked in the distribution. , ruptcy produces certai n ne w r e l a ti ons between the PPsti • rupt and society as w e ll as hi s cre dit or s ; and the inveduct gation which follows on bankruptcy may reveal co?-_,its on the part of the bankrupt, and which is connected, nd his becoming a bankrupt, which is highly criininal,'oB deserving of punishment.
