We have also seen casuists of great repute defend those par ties. One illustrious name I will instance, which will, no doubt, suggest itself to all that hear mc— the name of a man of first-rate genius, of excellent principles, and a noble spirit—Sir Walter Scott. Sir 'Walter Scott published, without his name, that eminent and popular series of novels which has en deared him to all his countrymen—nay, almost to all the world—and w hi c h I, for one, cannot think upon without feelings of the deepest admiration and gratitude. Sir Walter Scott published those series of novels anonymously, and to all questions put to him on the subject, persisted in denying the author ship of them, till at length he consented to drop the veil of concealment, and acknowledged them to bo the productions of his pen. Now, I ask—and I ap peal to many who were personally acquainted with that great man—l would ask, did this concealment and subsequent avowal of his name reflect any shame on the character of Sir Walter Scott ? Did any one of the large and splendid circle of his friends and ad mirers consider that Sir Walter Scott had disho noured himself by this proceeding ? All that I de- Mind is this—and in our moral dealings we should consult the feelings and impressions of other classes, as well as of that to which we have the happiness to belong—that we should weigh with one weight, and deal with one measure, to all alike—that we should afford the same protection to the feelings of the poor man from the tyrannical interference of his superiors, as wo allow a gentleman to use to protect himself from the curiosity of other men. If I were asked by a secret voter what he should say, if ques tioned on the subject of his vote, I should advise him to tell the truth and take the consequences, just as I now should advise him to give his vote ac cording to his conscience, under the existing forms and take the consequence. We have no right to ex pect sacrifices and moral courage of this kind from everybody ; but I believe there are still a great num ber of " village Hampdene," who give their votes openly, do avow them, and take the consequences, despite the unjustifiable and inquisitorial interfer -1 ence of their richer neighbours. On the other hand, it is those who, under existing circumstances, give dishonest votes, who, under the ballot, would ven ture upon a denial of their votes ; and of the two alternatives—of the two chances of evil—l think the latter is to be preferred. In short, if the voters cannot at once keep faith with their country, and with their corrupters, I am one who wish that we should have a system by which their faith may be preserved to their country, and broken to their cor rupters. The subject, sir, in short resolves itself into this simple question—whether thegreat settle ment of the elective system achieved by the Reform Bill is, indeed, to be final? Upon this question I have always understood, with the hon. member for London, that the ball o t was a reserved question ; and I never conceived that any person, by support ing the Reform Bill, was thereby compromised on the subject of the ballot. Now, with regard to that much discussed point, the finality of the Reform Bill, I know my own sentiments, and those I will express. I have always regarded that great measure with reverence—but with a rational, not a superstitious reverence. On all the principles on which I supported that measure, I conceive that I am bound, on good cause being shown to amend it. But the question, whether it ought to be amended, or not, is one which, in my mind, should be discussed and decided on no other principle than that of public good. And in this view of the ease, I'do say that there appear to me to be strong argu ments against frequent and violent changes in our constitutional system. The .revolution in 1832, — for revolution it was, and a most fearfully and sanguinary revol u ti on it - would have been in any other nation than this, or at any other period— that revolution was effected without civil disorder, and without the effusion of blood; but unquestion ably, the passing of the bill was attended with much excitement and danger. That excitement and that danger lam not desirous to renew. I would bear with many inconveniences rather than open a similar scene ; nay, I would bear with many grievances rather than expose the country to the risks, the ex citements which must accompany a complete recon struction of our whole representative system. But, sir, if we wish the Reform Bill to be a final mea sure, we must see that it be real and effectual ; that it shall not be, either wholly or in part, a delusion ; we must take care that we do not create franchises, and then suffer them to be converted into a species of villain service, baser and more degrading to moral feeling than anything which existed in the four teenth century, by virtue of the most arbitrary and tyrannical law of that dark period in our history. Sir, it was not for this, that, in the Tear 1831, the whole country rose up, as one man—that threat and petty interference were disregarded, bribes re jected, corruption manfully resisted and overborne —it was not for this, that the Church, the Pee rage, and the Court, on that memorable occasion, y ielded submission to the irresistible array of a determined and united people. The object of that mighty movement was not to arrest and pluck up abuses merely to allow them to renew that growth and flourish again under new forms and de cominations ; it was not to disfranchise Old Sarum in order to establish a new and a worse Old Sarum, under another name, in its stead ; to disqualify Gatton, in order to raise up the corrupt influence of many Gattons, in our sub-divi sions of counties. Sir, lam convinced that the time is not far remote when this great nation, with a voice as imperial as that with which she de manded the Reform Bill, will demand that the Re form Bill be practically carried out in its noblest principles, and be made a truth. And when that just demand shall be conceded, as it surely will be ; when the franchise of every elector shall be a fran chise indeed ; I am firmly convinced that the achievement of this national object, instead of pre• paring the way for reckless change, spoliation, and commotion, will strengthen the law, secure the just rights of property, draw closer together the legiti mate ties between one order and another, and cement the affections of all parties in the State to the law, the Parliament, and the Throne.

HENEAGE DERING, Esq., Hurst and Blackett, Publishers, successors to Henry Col burn, 13, Great Marlborough -street. GEORGE'S EAST. 191,478 Yesterday evening there was a frightful riot, re sulting in the destruction of much of the church property, in the parish church of St. George-in-the- East. The morning service, at which the Rev. Bryan King, the rector, preached, was compara tively tranquil ; the afternoon Litany service was a good deal i n t errupte d ; an d at the evening scr vice there was suc h a scene as i t would be impos sible for any language adequately to describe. By six o'clock Cannon-street, in which the front gates of the church are situate, was filled with people who were anxious to obtain admission into the church, and loud and imperative demands were made that the gates should be thrown open. Awed, how ever, to some extent by the presence of a strong body of police, there was no actual riot outside, but at half-past six the public were admitted into the church, and then commenced proceedings which it will be our painful duty to give some description of. Evening service at St. George's commences at seven o'clock, and at a quarter of an hour before that time the church was densely packed, there being at least 3,000 persons present,ef --"- 1,000 were boys who had come with the determina tion of making a row, and w h o took possession of the galleries. Previous proceedings at this church have been compared to a theatre on the first night of a pantomime, but no theatre ever contained such an audience as that which assembled at St. George's last night,. There was cat-calling, yelling, howl ing, hissing, and shouting of the most violent kind —snatches'of popular songs were sung, loud cries of "Bravo" and " Order" came from every part of the church ; caps, hats, and bonnets were thrown from the galleries into the body of the church and back again, while pew-doors were slammed, lucifer matches struck, and attempts more than once made to put out the gas. In this there was a regular organisation, but it was not successful, although various parts of the church were at times placed in darkness. During all this time the unruly mob acted without check of any kind, for although there was a strong body of police outside, not one policeman was allowed to enter the church. At seven o'clock a procession of priests and cho risters entered the church, and advanced to their accustomed place in front of the altar. It was headed by the Rev. Bryan King, the rector, who was followed by the Rev. C. F. Lowder, and 10 or 12 choristers, habited in their white robes. Their ap pearance in the church caused intense excitement. People jumped on to their seats, pew doors were violently slammmed, and laud shouts of execra tion proceeded from every part of the church. Mr. King, who appeared to be seriously ill, and very much depressed, took his place on the seats on the south side of the altar, Mr. Lowder being on the north. The latter gentleman said the first por tion of the prayers, Mr. King the last. Scarcely a word was audible. Hitherto the congregation have contented themselves with " saying" the responses, in opposition to the choristers, who sing them; but last they indulged in responses which were not in the Prayer-book, and which were nothing short of blasphemous mockery. At the close of the prayers Mr. Lowder ascended the pulpit, and was hissed and yelled at by the people with tremendous energy. He was unmoved by these assaults, and gave as his text, the Bth chapter of St. Matthew, 26th verse. He spoke very energetically, but amidst constant interruptions of the most disgraceful kind, of the persecutions which in various periods of her history the Church had been called upon to undergo ; and adverting to the circumstances of that parish, re marked that the clergy had never more reason to expect success in the conversion of sinners than at present. He expressed his belief that when the present persecutions ceased the Church would triumph, and then exelaimed, with great force— " Who is fearful for the everlasting Church cf Christ ?" This was followed by a general shout of " Vb ho's afraid ?" and loud and long-continued laughter. The reverend ientleman bore this indignity with apparently stoical indifference, and when tranquillity had been to some extent restored, addressed the boys present, reminding them that one day they might be laid on a bed of sickness, when the awful sin of sacrilege which they were then committing would rise up in judg ment against them. The boys, however, were proo f against the reverend gentleman's serious and ear nest admonition, which they responded to with a shout of derisive laughter. Mr. King, Mr. Lowder, and the choristers made their way to the vestry room with great difficulty, being more than once subjected to personal violence. At this moment a cry was raised for the demolition of the altar, which was elaborately decorated, and the threat would have been carried out had not the altar gate been valiantly defended by Mr. Stutfield, a son of the county magistrate of that name, and one of Mr. King's choristers. Over the apse or quasi altar is a beautiful candelabrum, and this at once became an 318,376 hier. Office of the Gas Light and Coke Company, Horseferrv-road, Westminster, Jan. 28, 1860.

In 1839, Lord (then Mr.) Macaulay returned from India, and in May of that year was elected mem ber for Edinburgh. On the 18th of June, Mr. Grote, member for London, moved for leave to bring in a bill to provide that the votes at elections for mem bers of Parliament be taken by ballot. In the de bate that followed, Mr. Macaulay made his first speech after his reappearance in the House of Com mons. Having defended the Ministry for making the ballot an open question, he proceeded— I shall vote for the motion of the hon. member for the city of London ; and I wish to explain that, in doing so, I merely understand myself to be re cording a declaration in favour of the principle of secret voting. I desire to be understood as reserv ing to myself the right of withholding my support from any bill which, on examining its details, shall not appear to me to provide a machinery that will secure secrecy and prevent fraud and intimidation; and I must reserve to myself the right of consider ing how far I ea*, with propriety, give my support to any bill which shall not be either accompanied or preceded by some measure for improving the mode of revising the registration, I should think it most disingenuous to give a popular vote, sad dled with conditions which I thought either im possible or exceedingly difficult of fulfilment. Such is not my opinion with regard to those which I have mentioned. I entertain no doubt that it is possible to provide a machinery which will protect the in terests both of the voter and the country, by in suring all the secrecy of which the transactions of human life will admit. I have little doubt that it is possible to devise a tribunal whose de cisions before the election shall command as much public confidence as the decisions of the committees of this house after election. Subject to these two conditiOns, I give my support to this motion for establishing the vote - by ballot. But I cannot say that I do soon, all the grounds on which many of the supporters of the ,-kellot rest their case. Iby no insane consider, as iranY &them appeir to - do, that it is.a,question respecting which allitb.e arguments urged are upon one side, and that there van be no set-off to the great advantages that may result from the adoption of secret voting. SO embarrassing appear to me the difficulties that beset the subject, that I am not surprised that many wise and virtu ous men should have arrived at a conclusion differ ing from my own. In this, as in every other ques tion that tests the prudence and experience of men, we must expect to find a balance of good and evil. And, first, I will admit that secrecy would with draw the voter from the influence of some good as well as some bad motives. I admit that it would take away the salutary effect of public opinion, as well as the pernicious influence of intimidation But I am compelled to take refuge in the ballot— and select that which, to the best of my judgment, is the least of two evils. lam not sure that I quite agree with the hon. member for the City of London in thinking that it would be an entire preservative against bribery ; on that point, I confess, I am in clined to dissent from the hon. member. In small constituent bodies, I think that bribery, under a system of secret voting, would continue to exist, though, at the same time, without any material aggravation. But I support the ballot chiefly on this ground—l consider it as the specific, the only remedy for the monstrous evils of intimidation. There was a time when—like the noble lord who seconded the motion of the hon. member for Lon don—l was inclined to think this evil, like many others which had yielded to the force of public opinion and the progress of intelligence, would die a natural death. That hope I have been compelled to relinquish; I believe the evil to be a growing evil; lam satisfied that it has considerably increased within the last seven years, and I believe it has increased within the last three years. I cannot disguise from myself that the growth of this evil is in some measure to be imputed to the Reform Bill ; and, in saying this, I impute to the Reform Bill only that imper fection which is common to it and every other great measure. The reformation of the church has pro duced classes of social and moral evil unknown in the times of the Plantagenets. The revolution has produced descriptions of abuse unknown in the times of the Stuarts; and I believe that the Reform Bill, though on the whole it has conferred great blessings on the country, has, like the great changes which I have mentioned, produced some new evils, and ag gravated others of old standing. It has swept away many abuses; but it seems to me to have given new life and more malignant energy to those which it spared. It has stopped up many of the channels of corrupt influence; but within those which it did not stop the stream not only runs on, but runs deeper, stronger, fouller than ever. If it does not destroy, it at least restricts within narrow limits the ancient practice of nomination; but by doing so I believe it has given a new impulse to the spirit of intimidation, and that, too, at the very moment when it conferred the franchise on thousands of electors who were placed precisely in that situation in which they were most liable to the influence of terror. I cannot close my eyes to the evidence of these evils, accumulated from all quarters; if any credit can be given to the outcries which have been raised in every quarter of the kingdom —not by one party only-, but by Tories, Whigs, anal Radicals—from England, Scotland, and Ireland—l must believe that there are now sitting in this house gentlemen who owe their seats to votes extorted by fear. And I say that if there be any gentleman in this house who owes his seat to such practices, it would be infinitely better he sat here for Old Sarum; for, sitting for that borough, he would be no representative of the people; nor is he now; but at Old Sarum there could be no threats, no ejectments, no struggle in the breast of the elector between regard for his public duty and re gard for his private interest. There the alterna tive could never be put to any elector, whether he would abandon his principles, or reduce his family to misery. All tyranny is bad, but the worst is that which works with the machinery of freedom. Under an undisguised oligarchy, the people suffer haveonly the not eviloho chosen ; butbeinggoinvertnheedobtyhetrh o e s a e s w e, h t o o m w t h h a e t y . ever extent intimidation mixes itself up with election to ot th h a e t io e g xtent the th e s ystem people s o u f ffer go verned by those whom the y have not chosen, and the evil of being coerced into professed choice. And the more wide the basis of the elective system, bothpopular et the worse are the mischiefs arising . from it. The more human beings are converted into machines, through which some great proprietor may express his pleasure, the greater is the quantity of misery and degradation. The noble lord who seconded this motion said, and most justl7 too, that he did not wish to deprive wealth of; its legitimate influ ence. Wealth is power : and power, properly used—with kindness and justice on its side — necessarily inspires affection. Wealth, or that which is so, compared with what is possessed by the great mass of electors, is closely connected with intellectual superiority. It enables its pos sessor to select and prosecute any study to which he may be inclined; to continue it when those who commence life with him, under less favourable circumstances, are forced to drudge for their daily bread ; to enlarge his mind by foreign travel ; to acquire an intimacy with the history of nations, and with the arts and sciences. These are advan tages to which it is impossible that constituencies can be blind; naz, going much below those who form the present body of electors, and descending to the very lowest of the populace, it never is found that in their wildest aberrations they choose a leader destitute of these recommendations. This is the natural, the indestructible, the legitimate, the salutary influence of wealth. Whatever is more than this is corruption; and if it be thought necessary, as it appears from the speech of the hon. member who last spoke, that some persons in this house do think it necessary, to maintain the influence of bribery in our elective system—then I say that, incomparably, the best and the least objectionable method is that of open bribery. But against bribery have passed re solutions—for bribery boroughs are disfranchised, for bribery members are unseated, for bribery in dictments and informations are preferred, for bribery the penalties extend both to the elector and the elected—one man is disqualified, another man fined. On what principle do we inflict penalties on the elector ? On what principle but this—that, from having dealt in pecuniary corruption, the elec tor is no longer fit to exercise the right of voting. But what is the operation of intimidation ? It is this—" Vote with mei or you give up my custom. Vote with me, or you give up your farm." Or it is thus—" Vote with me, and I will give you .£2O for pair of boots." Why, surely, it is notorious that this is one of the constant forms of corruption. " Vote with me, and I will give you £2O for a pair of boots,' is a common and constant form of corrup tion ; though less so, perhaps, because less easy, than " Vote for me, or I will carry my custom to the bootmaker's in the next street." But the truth is, that I almost disient from the very form of expres sion which the hon. member for the City of London has made use of in his very able speech, in reference to this part of the subject. I object to making an antiphrasis between 'corruption and intimidation. Intimidation is corruption —corruption stripped of everything that may seem to lend it a grace— stripped of all that conciliates—stripped of every affinity to hospitality and good humour—stripped, in short, of every colour of any kind of excuse which can be invented to recommend or adorn it; it is corruption presented in a form more loathsome even than its own end. It is corruption working by barbarity. Let it be considered, too, that cor ruption of this sort is the easiest, because it is the cheapest of all. People cannot lose by a promise ; to corrupt by giving, costs something—thousands; to corrupt by threatening, costs nothing but a crime. They only think superficially who suppose that cor ruption is to be exercised by giving, but is not to be exercised by taking away and threatening. The man who practises intimidation is under no necessity of mortgaging his estate to prepare for an election ; nay, at the same time that he improves, perhaps, his lands, and by the very mode of administering the economy of his family, is he able to effect by intimidation, the purposes of corruption—and that to a greater extent, and with more complete demo ralisation, than was ever practised in Grampound or East Retford. :But though intimidation be more easy than corruption to practise towards the poorer classes 'of men, the feelings with which those men view the relation of the two things are very diffe rent. It is much more easy and agreeable for a man to refuse that which he never had, than to submit to be pillaged of that which he is accustomed to have. Many a man who would throw away with scorn the purse of any one who came to bribe him, is now obliged to vote against his conscience and his wishes, for fear of an ejectment. And this form of corruption, be it remembered, must tell—for it may be practised with perfect impunity. You can punish the good-natured corruption which wins men's minds under the semblance of making them happy; but you cannot reaeh, to punish, that ill-natured kind of 'corruption whiCh makes them miserable. You cannot set lip a "tribunal which shall have right to ask the landed gentry throughout the coun try such, questions as these :—" Why did you part with,auelt a tenant? Was it because he did not. Fiityliis 'tent If he did; why don't you renew his lease?"' Hoe. Would such a question have , been brooked, at the 'last election for Westminster, as " What has such and such a tailor done, that you have turned him away and taken another ? Evi dently such a system would be iniquitous in the ex treme. Property' ceases to be property if men can not hold without being liable to be called upon to give a reason why they may have thought fit to discharge any one of their tradesmen. Still I feel convinced that something must be done. This is a growing evil .; the number_ of cases wo hear of becomes more and more frequent every election ; it is at evil more subtle than any against which you direct the sharpest censures of the penal law ; and yet it is not by penal laws that you can put it down, because it is so mixed up with pro perty, that if you strike at it by a penal enactment, you inflict a ,blow on the rights of property at the same time. As therefore, punishment is out of the question, and as the evil, beyond all dispute, ought to be abated, we are bound to try the means of prevention. What means, then, have been sug gested ? Absolutely, none except this of the ballot. Here, then, or nowhere, we have the desired re medy ; here, or nowher e must we f i n d the means of reconciling the rights of property with the right of suffrage. It is not only those who possess property that have " a right to do what they will with their own." The estate is the l an dlord's—the vote is the tenant's. "So use their own rights," is the lan guage of all civil as well as moral law, " as not to interfere with the rights of others." But, here, it should be remarked, you cannot give the one right without infringing on, or destroying the other. On the other hand, you cannot adopt any measure for rendering the right of voting openly, inviolable and sacred, without interfering at the same time with the holy texture of that system of property which ought to be equally sacred. If you were to adopt such a step, you would find that you had only got an imperfect and inadequate change of the present system, at the expense of that on which is founded the national credit, wealth, prosperity, and liberty. It does, then, in my opi nion, become imperative upon us to consider whe ther there is not found in the ballot all that is re quired ? whether the ballot would not give equal and perfect protection to the voter P and whether the ballot, and the ballot alone would not give to each class, all that each class ought to have, and nothing more ? If this would be the effect of the ballot, which I believe it would be, if here, and here alone,we can find that resolution of so many important political problems, for which we all are desirous surely no slight difficulties, or apprehension of diffi culties, ought to deter us from the adoption of it. But what is the nature of the objections that are generally urged against it ? The objection— though by no means the only one which has been raised—which to me appears to present the real difficulty in the way of carrying through such a measure, is the moral objection. Many ingenious and lively things have been said against the ballot ; but it is my belief that if, in the minds of the people, the moral objections were once disposed of, nothing could prevent their carrying on the principle of the ballot ie a single session. As for the objection itself, much as I respect the opinions of those who urge it, I must confess that I do not think it is a sound and well-considered objection. I believe that many able and excellent persons sincerely entertain a different opinion on the matter ; but I do not think that those persons have fully considered the moral evil which results from the present system. If it be an immo rality, as every one considers it to be, to tell an un truth, surely it is, at least, equally immoral so to use a public trust, which is reposed in us for the public good, as may enable us to avoid a private loss. If it be un-English for a man not to dare to own the vote that he has given, surely it is more sturdy not to dare to vote a s h e thi n k s r i g ht. When th e wor d " un-Engl i sh " is used, I feel com pelled t o contrast our i dea of that bold and y independence which has been our great pride as a national characteristic, with the situation of a man who, holding his farm from year to year, is compelled, by fear of pecuniary loss and ruin to poll against him whom he wishes to see chaired, and to vote for the candidate whom, with all his heart, he would see well ducked. At present we know that many dishonest votes are given • but let a system of secresy be i n t ro d uce d , and we should have honest votes, although the parties might afterwards deny that they had given them. Which is the greater evil of the two ? God forbid that I should say anything which should seem to extenuate the guilt of falsehood! but God forbid also, that I should not make some allowance for the poor as well as for the rich ! God forbid that I should see more distinctly the mote in the eye of the £lO householder, than the beam in the eye of a baronet or a bishop ! If our morality be anything more than capricious favour or mere pre text, we shall have ample opportunities of exercising it, without waiting till the ballot becomes the law of the land, or without even descending below our our own rank in life. If it be criminal in a man to utter an untruth for the purpose of guarding a secret against private curiosity, then I say that we find many criminals of a far higher station, and of a far more cultivated intellect, than the butchers and bakers, about whose veracity we are now so anxious. I will take a single illustration from the case of anonymous writers. It is perfectly notorious that men of high consideration, men of the first distinc tion, have written books, and published them with- AN ENGLISH VIE IV OF FRENCH 1170,111EY. A Frenchwoman is the ugliest female of the human species. An African fiegress, with her flat nose and thick lips, is not very attractive ; but her ugliness has a national type, and cases are known in which a European, after 20 years on the West Coast of Africa, and seeing nothing else to make him discontented, has become reconciled to her, as we do after a time to nearly everything else in the world, and as I did to the cooper on one side and to the chaudronnier on the other. But each individual Frenchwoman has an ugliness of her own, whether it be the ugliness of a tiger, or of a ferret, or of a monkey, or a combination of all three, in which last case, however, the monkey usually has a slight pre ponderance. There is something fearful in the expression of a Frenchwoman of the lower orders when her animal instincts are excited—by jealousy, for instance, or when she is paying money, a severe trial to most faces. Come with me to-morrow to the Halle Centrale, a market for everything near the church of St. Enstache. We will watch the women haggling and parting with money, and you will be satisfied, as I am, that within a not very long time previous to the historical period, the natives of France were crossed with a monkey. Look at that respectably-dressed woman haggling for giblets ! Her hair comes down the ridge bone between her temple and /forehead till it actually joins her eyebrows. This is a certain sign of there having been, some time or other, a monkey among the branches of the family pedigree. Even in a ball room, where she is all smiles, and is looking all she knows, a Frenchwoman will try—for she is a great general—to divert your attention from her face to her dress; but do not be diverted; look at her fea tures, and you will see nothing but tiger, ferret, and monkey. Oh, my fair fellow-countrywomen ! what a comfort it is for us to think that you can give a Frenchwoman all her petty arts of dress and still beat her! Yet you eight .h ow a little more taste in your choice of colours; for I have had to blush for many of you lately in the Bois de Boullgne.— Once a Week. JOHN BROWN.—It will be time enough to speak of the results of John Brown's crusade when we see more of them; they are abund a ntly remar k a bl e a l rea d y . O ar business has been with the character of the man. It has impressed the national imagination for ever in his ewn country. Some eminent citizens of Virginia cannot bear the force of it, and are preparing to migrate, with their property to Europe—their slaves they must lea%e behind. Among those who must remain, the children will never forget the man, nor lose the impression of the winter nights following his death. In Cumberland, the aurora borealis is called "Lord Derwentwater's lights," because it was particularly splendid the night after his execution. The Virginia children will shiver for life when they remember John Brown's lights—those mysterious lights which ascend every night in the direction of Haiper's Ferry, and are an swered from various parts of the horizon—in spite of all efforts of police and military to make out what they mean. John Brown is as sure of immortality as Washington 1•11,--010. a Aretk.

THE " SeiN .TURN Tr' tis but a short time since- , • ughflof tge count— -. 7 --- ntrated on F' - treaties and Italian sti uggles, were directed with no slight solicitude to a remote spot on the shores of the Pacific. The " San Juan Difficulty," thanks to the forbearance and moderation of the two Go vernments concerned, was successfully escaped, but the question itself is pending still, and it will not be uninteresting to the public to learn the position in which it[etands. Certain features of the case render it one of the most curious, perhaps, which even the oversights of diplomacy ever produced. When, after a long altercation, it was finally decided that the 49th parallel should constitute the boundary betwesn the possessions of Great Britain and the United States on North-American territory, litigation might have been fairly supposed at an end, and excepting, indeed, for a particular and unforeseen embarrassment, such would, doubt less, have been the result. No sooner, however, had the commissioners charged with the duty of cutting the b nindary line by land and defining it by water proceeded to the despatch of business than they encountered a serious obstacle. Exactly opposite the point at which the 49th parallel strikes the coast lies Vancouver's Island, a portion of which, if the boundary line had been prolonged without dtviation, would have been cut off. To avoid this dismemberment of what was confessedly British territory it had been agreed thst the line, after striking the coast, should be deflected in a southerly direction, and carried through mid channel round the coast of Vancouver's Island into the sea. This was all plain and reasonable; and in. we - may almost add. the par - aonanie ignorance prevailing at theiltne cting ,these distant regions, it was probably conceived that the channel so described could not be mistaken. When, however, the actual survey came to be made it was found that the supposed open strait was • blocked up in the middle by a group of islands, and that a separate channel was left on each side of them. That to the west is known as the Haro Channel—that to the east as On Rosario. If, there fore, the boundary line were carried down the for mer, it would throw all the islands into the Ame rican side ; if it were taken through the latter, it would give them all to the British. That we, under such circumstances, should stickle for the Rosario Strait, while the Americans stand out for the Strait of Haro, will not be considered surprising. As far as the letter of the Treaty goes, we believe it would be simply impossible to execute it accord ing to the American proposal. According to the best information we can obtain, no vessel keeping on such a course as the terms of the Treaty pre scribe could by possibility get into the Haro Chan. nel, and it is, we believe, also true that, as far as alit channel was known or used at the time of the Con vention, it was the Rosario Channel, and no other. However, fur reasons to be presently mentioned, we shall not insist on this point any further. It will appear from what we have said that the debateable territory is composed not of one island, but a group of islands, all of which together would be transferred either to England or America, accord ing as the Rosario or Haro Channel were taken as the channel for the line of delimitation. Accident, however, has brought one of these islands into especial notoriety, and attached its name to the whole dispute. The westernmost of the group is called the Isle of San Juan, and on this island, though it had been recognised as disputed territory, General Harney last summer landed a body of American troops. We need not repeat the circum stances under which this violation of right was committed, though we may remark that the sole explanation offered by General Harney himself failed absolutely to justify the acts on which ho ventured. He asserted that American citizens, settled on the island, required the protection of American troops to defend them against the incur sions of the Indians. But, even if this necessity could have been established, it would certainly not follow that the island thereby became any more American territory than it was before. Now, General Harney not only furnished his countrymen with a military guard, but he took possession of San Juan as belonging to the United States, and proclaimed American laws and authority there, although it had been distinctly admitted by his own Government that the title to the territory was in dispute, and that until it was d ec id e d no suc h preten sions should be advanced by either of the claimants. These, events brought the Isle of San Juan into notice as the bone of contention, although, in point of fact, the actual claim of the Americans would, if sustained, have given them a good deal more than this island, and our claim would have secured us not only San Juan, but the rest of the group besides. We have said that we should be indisposed to rely exclusively on the letter of the treaty, although we regard it as eminently favourable to ourselves. Of course, if a rigorous policy is to be pursued, it is to the letter that we must appeal, and we shalt have no reason to regret the proceeding, but 'sva should prefer to see the question discussed in t% ,. . y'- more practical spirit o f am it y an d conc ili at i o n : For such a course there are obvious reasons, but there is this reason especially—that we very much doubt whether the framers of the treaty really knew anything about the channel or course they were defining, so that we may seek in vain for the true spirit of the law. But, if there is obscurity on this point, there is perfect clearness on another. It was most sensibly presumed, at the time of the Convention, that the proceedings should be regulated rather by mutual utility and advan tage than by any other consideration, and this ground we should like to see still retained. We believe that the course actually pursued by our Government is in conformity with this principle. We have reason to think that the proposals made to the Americans are such as may fairly satisfy both countries. Instead of standing out for the Rosario Channel and the whole group of islands, as against the Haro Channel and none of them, a third channel is proposed for the boundary line, which will not only evade the two disputed courses, but will leave the Ame r i cans i n possess i on of the arger share of the debated territory. This channel runs through the group of islands, and, though not so broad as either the Haro or Rosario Strait, is nevertheless navigable. In its course it cuts off the Isle of San Juan alone to the west, and consequently leaves us with this island only, while the Americans will retain the remainder. So con siderable, in fact, is the concession thus made that it reasonably suggests a little compensation, and we believe the American Government will be asked to give us the whole of a certain coast headland which the 49th parallel now cuts in two. We do sincerely hope that this reasonable proposal will be accepted. It appears to us to answer all those purposes of mutual convenie nce w hi c h t h e treaty originally con templated. The Americans will secure the Rosario Channel to themselves, according to their wishes; and they will leave us witn the Hare Channel exactly as they desire. We, on the other hand, though we shall lose three-fourths of the debated territory, shall retain the Isle of San Juan, and thus acquire a secure access to our continental posses sions. In reality, the mere territory is of little consequence to either party, while safe navigation is of material importance to both. By the arrange ment now delineated each country will have a chan nel of its own, while the territory will be so divided that the Americans can make no complaint of their allotment. We really do not see how any adjust ment could be more judiciously devised than one which will not wound the self-love of either State, which will give both States what is really neces+ nary for their convenience, and which will thus ter minate a protracted dispute by a sensible compro mise.— Times. THE CITY OF PARlS.—According to the dnnuaire die Bureau des Longitudes the number of births in Paris in 1858 was—legitimate, 37,451; illegitimate, 11,757; of deaths, 32,362 ; and of marriages, 12,016. According to official returns the city of Paris, within the old boundaries, is lighted by 15,160 gas lamps and 437 oil ; the zone be tween the old and new boundar►es contains 2,943 of the for mer and 1,683 of the latter. The number of gas-burners in private establishments in old Paris is 302,000, and in the new districts 56,000. co A nt e s: e_ F d Lo Ae r d e n poora n e e d g if eor forsaken, s r ia r nk e : etshnpe: finding s n e d r v e r e t e conceal her shame, threw herself artelli.
