The following is the text of the Constitutionnel article published this morning under the above heading : As soon as he found himself charged with the destinies of France Prince Louis Napoleon hastened upon the same day when he delivered the eagles to the army to make known to the great Powers his firm desire of preserving good relations with them and of maintaining the peace of Europe. The Emperor Napoleon 111. has remained loyally attached to the policy he then declared. Nothing less than the persevering resistance of Russia to all efforts at conciliation and her enterprises against the repose of Europe were requisite to bring about a conflict in which France was inevitably called upon .to play a part. The Crimean war was not only just and neces sary. No war was more manifestly undertaken for the defence of European interests. Thus France only entered into it with the alliance or the sym pathies of all the Powers of Europe. She bore the weight of it more than any other, and she also reaped the greater portion of the glory. Notwithstanding the allurements of such a war, in which France saw her victories saluted by the acclamations of Europe, the Emperor Napoleon was the first to think of putting an end to it and to pro pose peace. The situation was delicate and difficult. It was necessary at the same time to conciliate the legiti mate susceptibilities of the enemy vanquished at the Alma and at Sebastopol, but who had still consi derable forces, and to appease the lively resentment of an ally who would have desired to inflict more terrible blows upon Russia. The Emperor Napoleon met with a double success. He offered a peace honourable enough for Russia to accept, and too advantageous to Europe for Eng land to be able to refuse. At the Congress of Europe, where this peace received its definitive form, he was recognised by all as the arbiter of the diffi culties which presented themselves. In the eyes of foreigners, as in those of France, he had the honour of the re-establishment of peace. All the testimonies of public gratitude he had received in Paris, and in the departments, were repeated in Germany when he visited that country the following year, to have an interview with the Emperor Alexander. A short time afterwards Europe was on the point of being disturbed by a new collision. Its cause was insignificant enough, but divers influences were far from showing themselves disposed to favour an agreement. The town of Neufchatel was in insurrection. It desired to escape from the rule of Prussia, to re enter the bosom of the Swiss Confederation, which prepared to support it. Russia had seen with displeasure the attitude of Prussia during the Crimean war. Austria perhaps desired nothing more ardently th an to see her rival in Germany engaged in a war against Switzerland. These - two Powers urged the Court of Berlin firmly to support its rights. the breakingupon alreadyonpoint out. The G overnm ent alone endeavoured to p revent i t, and succeeded in causing the spirit of concili a ti on t o prevail. It obtained the meeting of a C on f erence, at which France, England, Austria, and Russia prepared a project of aryangem ent, which was ac cepted by Prussia and Switzerland. All danger of war had disappeared. Entire Europe knew that it was in especial due to the intervention of the Em peror's Government. The attitude taken up by Austria in Italy had at tracted the most serious attention of Europe. The announcement of a Congress appeared to have again removed a new cause of war, when a certa i n resolu tion of Austria precipitated events. Her army passed the Ticino and marched upon Turin. The object of Austria was to place her dominion in Italy upon still larger and stronger bases. The interests and equilibrium of Europe were thereby threatened. France hastened to defend them. She gained the victories of Magenta and Solferino. A vaster career was offered to her triumphs. But ,the Emperor Napeoleon does not wish for the insatiable intoxica tion of military glory any more than France. It E_ , MOSES & SON, CORNET: OF MINORIES • AND ALDGATE.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FOR HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C. Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway a rc h es . At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £1,300 more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor tamilie s in want.

On Wednesday evening the Conversazione was held, and proved to be one of the most brilliant and successful that has ever taken place at the South Kensington Museum. There was a very full attend ance, and soon after 9 o'clock the great central hall was filled with company. As the evening wore on the other rooms and galleries were in like manner occupied. A large number of the nobility were present, and many of the most distinguished pro fessors of art, science, and literature, as well as most of the l ea di ng horticulturists, whether ama teur or prof ess i onal. Every expressio n o f cour t eous welcome and con s id eration was made to the foreign guests, who fo rme d a noticeable proportion of the assemblage. It has been decided that the International Flower Show shall remain open till Thursday next ; and the council of the Royal Horticultural Society have determined that their gardens at S ou th Kensington shall be, during that time, thrown open to all who visit the flower show. Peabody Memorial. On Thursday a public meeting, convened on a re quisition to the Lord Mayor, signed by three of the members of Parliament for the city, and by magis trates, bankers, merchants, and others, was held in the Egyptian hall of the Mansion-house, to consider in what way the citizens of London can best testify their gratitude to Mr. George Peabody for the act of unparalleled munificence on his part towards the poor of London with which the whole civilised world is familiar. The meeting was well attended, and there were present, among others, besides the Lord Mayor, Sir Moses Montefiore, Mr. Alderman Law rence, M.P., Mr. Jones Loyd, Mr. Russell Sturges (of the house of Baring, Brothers, and Co.), Mr. R. N. Fowler, Mr. Sheriff Figgins, Mr. Charles Reed, Mr. Edmund Burke, Mr. Fitzwilliam, Mr. Marmaduke Sampson, Mr. T. B. Simpson, Mr. Newberry, Mr. Alderman Stone, Mr. Alderman IVaterlow, Mr. M'George, Mr. Deputy Snelling, the Rev. Michael Gibbs (chaplain to the Lord Mayor), the Rev. William Rogers (Rector of Bishopgate), Mr. W. F. Rock, Mr. John Finlay, and Mr. Joseph Gibbs. The LORD MAYOR, on assuming the chair, said he had great pleasure in meeting so many of his fellow-citizens on an occasion interesting not only to them, but he thought he might say of universal interest. They were convened together for the purpose of submitting for public consideration in what manner they could recognise the generosity of a great public benefactor—(cheers)--a man who be longed to the whole world and was the friend of every one who had a love for charity and the well being of his fellow-men. For some time he had enjoyed the happiness of being a personal friend of Mr. Peabody, and he thought he might say without hesitation that one endowed with a higher love of freedom and of his fellow-men, or more entirely un selfish, he never knew. (Cheers.) Happy for them in this free country they were surrounded on all sides by men distinguished for highmindedness and for universal philanthropy ; but they must bear in mind that, although Mr. Peabody had been resident among them for 30 years, another land claimed him, and proudly claimed him, as its son. Still, he had been long enough among them to win for himself an unusual amount of public regard and admiration, and they were all happy to recognise him as a friend and fellow-citizen. (Cheers.) Mr. 11. N. FOWLER, the banker, who was called upon from the chair, moved the first resolution. It was—" That in testimony of the gratitude enter tained by the citizens of London and the public at large to George Peabody, Esq., for his munificient benefaction of £250,000 for the benefit of the in dustrious poor of London, a public statue to his honour be erected on some conspicuous spot in the city of London." The resolution, he said, was one which he most heartily commended for their adoption, believing that a statute was the highest honour in the power of the citizens of London to ccnfer upon any public man either of our own country or from any kindred nation, and that such an honour ought not to be conferred upon light grounds. (llear, hear.) Already the city was adorned by statutes of two very distinguished Englishmen —one the greatest, soldiers of this century, whose sword had secured for Europe 40 years of peace, who after the advent of that peace took a most conspicuous part in public affairs, and of whom it had been said, " Through storm and darkness, terror and dismay, The star of duty was his guiding ray ;" the other a statesman who for well nigh 50 years was identified with the public life of England, and whose name would always be connected with the practical recognition of the principle of free-trade. The guildhall, too, was graced by statues of the two Pitts and of Nelson ; but on this occasion it was proposed to perpetuate the name of a man whose public services had been of a very different kind, who had taken no part either in the strife of politics or of war, but who in an equally useful though less ostentatious manner had served his generation, and served it according to the will of God. (Cheers.) • In the history of the world there was no act of munificence equal to that which Mr. Peabody had performed, and it was on that ground that the citizens of London were now invited to erect a statue in his honour. In this city the path of com mercial advancement was open to all ; some of the most eminent of its merchant princes, including the Rothschilds and the Barings, among others, were not of English origin ; and from whatever clime a man might come, they rejoiced in his success and recog nised the merits by which it had been achieved. They had now an opportunity of erecting a statue to a man who was not an English citizen, but who was still a citizen of a kindred nation sprung from the great Anglo-Saxon race ; and in embracing that opportunity they would really be doing honour to themselves and evincing their desire that peaceful relations should always subsist between the two countries. (Cheers.) The motion was seconded by Sir MOSES MONTE FIORE, who on presenting himself to the meeting to do so met with a flattering reception. Mr. R. W. BILLINGS said in this country our marble statues were unfortunate. On a rainy day in the Royal Exchange streaks of dirt might be seen running. down the face of the marble statue of the Queen, and in the case of the equestrian statue in front of the building, where the use of marble was avoided, the figure of the " Iron Duke" was more like that of a negro than of an Englishman. (A laugh.) The truth was that the climate was not suited to statues in marble. Besides, M r . Peabodyos had distinctly declined an honour which her d M al a s .l o . t re had wished to confer upon him ; and h th e e h sure that fused to be " be-dinnered,” and . were h was y now pro he would not also decline that posed ? Supposing it met with half enough. Did approval, they would not be doingleral or not ?

In which bore the n onour f e u d u n d fue of Mr. Peabody, Lon donithat cE with lee there were 300,000 men who would willingly con tribute to such a fund, according t o th e i r means, and what the men did not make up the women would. The motion of Mr. Fowler was put and carried. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE, 11. P., moved the next resolution, to the effect that, for promoting the ob ject in view, a subscription be opened ; that the pre liminary committee be appointed the committee for the purpose, with power to add to their number I =3'. NEWSPAPE ft A 14!4-1--14tv 0 4 4 '; and that the Right H on. thh quested to act as treasurer to ihiiitin&N-43.12.. The motion was seconded by Ml4- k ßusaa Stitges, representing for the occasion Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., who was unavoidably absent, and carried. ROBERT FILLINGRAM, a working carpenter, sug gested that a penny subscription should also be set on foot, with the view to found in the metropolis an institution on the principle of the Sailors' Home, to which poor Americans in London of the working class might resort for a time when in want of em ployment. lie was sure to such a fund every Sun day-school child throughout the country, with thousands of working men and women, would con tribute, and in that way a memorial of Mr. Pea body's munificence would be raised expressive of the gratitude of the poor and likely to be grateful to his own feelings. On the mvion of Mr. Alderman WATLI:Loo, se conded by Mr. Sheriff FIGGINS, the thanks of the meeting were voted by acclamation to the Lord Mayor for convening it and presiding on the occa sion. The LORD MAYOR, in acknowledging the compli ment, said he had no doubt the matter would be brought to a successful issue, and that whether they saw their honoured friend in marble, with his face a little begrimed (a laugh), or lighted up with aperpetual smile, they would always look upon him as a true and exalted type of a noble, kind, and generous man. (Cheers.) With that the meeting separated.

She only en tered [ into the matter to point out to the different parties the dangers of pretensions which must lead fatally to war, and to impress upon both sides the councils of peace. The official documents published within the last two years bear testimony to the activity and zeal of the Emperor's Government to spare Europe the too lamentable spectacle of a too unequal war, with its vicissitudes and troubles. Nevertheless, the cannon roared in the Duchies. The numerous battalions of Austria and Prussia gained a victory too easy to be very glorious. Now we see the two great States divided by that victory, and drawing Germany with them into an immense and obstinate war, pregnant with disasters, and animated by a fury greatly disproportionate to its first cause. At the same time also Italy enters this great conflict, bringing to it her passions, her hatred, and her national aspirations, and casts herself into it with all her strength. And yet, in view of this crisis, Imperial France is found such as she has always shown herself for the last fifteen years, a friend of peace, soli citous for European interests, but calm, sure of herself, and as far from jealous ambition or unre fleeting impetuosity. She has followed events, without compromising herself. She has given counsel to..- all parties without engaging h •herself .to any. By everywhere recommending a policy of moderation and disinterestedness she has herself constantly afforded ari example. Finally, when the Emperor's Government believed that it could unite its efforts for the maintenance of peace with those of England and Russia it decidedly assumed the initiative of a collective step. The principle of this step is admitted at London and St. Petersburg as at Paris. Communications are being exchanged between the three courts, in order to determine its form and fix the moment when it may be attempted. This concert of the three great Powers in favour of peace is, under pre sent circumstances, an important fact. France will not forget that the Emperor's Government has not ceased, amid the various phases of a war crisis, to preserve in equal degree her interests and her dig nity, to maintain her liberty of action, and, in fact, to do her utmost in these conditions for the main tenance of peace.

'TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience une q ua ll e d has been obtained, enabling us to °ler even the most sensi tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a speciilitd t ertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent.

Particulars have been received here of the en gagement of Major-General Romanovsky with the troops of the Emir of Bokhara on the sth April. During the second fortnight in March the Russian detachment encamped upon the Syr-Daria was con stantly kept on the alert by rumours that the Emir of Bokhara was assembling large masses of troops, with which he proposed to attack the Russians. The reconnaissances made from time to time proved, however, that these rumours were greatly exagge rated, or a:t least discovered nothing that could give rise to any well-founded conjecture respecting the real intentions of the Emir. Finally, on the 4th April information was received that the enemy's forces had appeared in considerable numbers on the Syr- Dania, beyond Mourza-Rabat, 25 versts from the Russian camp. A fresh reconnaissance was consequently decided upon for the sth April, and was to be made by two sotnias of Cossacks, a squadron of cavalry, and five companies of infantry, with four rifled cannon and two pieces of horse artillery. The column had not left the camp when the enemy's cavalry, showing themselves before the Russian troops, charged a small detachment of lOrenbourg Cossacks. The latter, however, sus tained by a company of infantry sent to their as ' sistance, repulsed this attack, and forced the enemy to draw back with loss. The column ap pointed to make the reconnaissance advanced upon the traces of the retreating enemy, and at 18 versts from the camp on the Khodjeut-road met with a considerable force. From the top of a small eleva tion, situate near the road-side, large bands of Bok hariau cavalry, headed by several standards, were seen in the plain stretching before Mourza-Rabat. This force consisted of the cavalry of the Beys of Djuzak, Samarcand, and Oura-Tuba. Numerous flocks belonging to these chiefs followed the horse men, and had been partly assembled on account of the Mussulman feast of Kourban-bairam, which the Emir proposed to celebrate this year with great solemnity among his troops at Oura-Tuba. Having waited until the Russian column was properly massed, General Romanovsky advanced his cavalry under aide-de-camp Colonel Vorontzuw- Daschkow, supporting it by a company of infantry, and ordered it to charge the enemy's force. At first the Bokharian cavalry, which nearly doubled the Russian force, firmly withstood the charge of the latter, and even made several attempts to re gain the offensive. The Cossacks, however, suc ceeded in breaking their line, and pursued them, lance in rest, for more than 20 versts, inflicting considerable loss and taking 15 prisoners, as well as the whole of the flocks, numbering 15,000 head. The Russians, it is added, experienced no loss whatever. The International Flower Show and Botan!c C.;nBress. Yesterday, the third day since the great flower show in connection with the International Botanic Congress was opened, demonstrated in a remark able manner the extraordinary attractiveness of the wonderful exhibition which has been brought together. Even in the forenoon the pleasant walks under the great tents were crowded, and as the afternoon went on the concourse thickened, till, vast as the place is, it was crowded. The roads far away round the entrance to the show in the Cromwell-road were filled with long lines of carriages, pavements thronged with:visitors coming and going, omnibuses, diverted slightly from their route, set down their passengers in unaccustomed places near the ordinarily-quiet piece of ground which has been so converted and beautified, and the days of 1862 seemed in these respects restored. In some ways every day improves the aspect of the display. Cer tain collections, such as the rhododendrons, have been undeniably retarded in their luxuriance by the cold winds of the season. Every hour they remain under protection and the favouring conditions of their present position the blooms are expanding, and attaining that softness and profusion which is cha racteristic of this beautiful class of plants in their summer perfection. The same may be said of many other of the flowers which make the miniature valleys brilliant. Some of the lawns thus decorated have been more completely arranged than was possible on the first day, and the aspect of finish about the whole exhibition is, if possible, more complete. Most of the cut blooms, where they appear to have flagged, or to have become overblown, have been renewed, and the beauty of the whole of the collec tions seems to improve with every fresh inspection. The greatest deterioration which can be noticed has taken place among the fragile specimens of wreaths, bouquets, &c., which, although but an item in the present show, are an exhibition in them selves, forming a separate department, which is located in the Royal Horticultural Society's Gar dens. But among these the most attractive feature perhaps, bright and delicate as the flowers appear, is not affected by the same influences ; the. blooms are neither fading nor growing better, nor expand ing till the petals fall, for although the y seem so natural as to deceive alm ost everybody at first sight they are of wax. This beau tiful collection of flowers, num erous and varied as they are, have been all modelled by Mrs. Mitchell, of 5, Anglesey-terrace, y-e -terrace, Battersea. Mr. Charles Dickens. The Times of yesterday takes occasion to re mark that the " readings" of his own works by this distinguished novelist, which for some time past have been given once every week, continue to fill ewtlahoessr k, l s a t rg hde e ore r ni o so o tn m on i o, n ,nrn S ena t J ad . lelye ame , b:hlsoo'sn-gihsaltlo. more t the eodugham essentially atthiee dramatic than Mr. Dickens, who not only perso nates every character in the dialogue, but infuses life and warmth into narrative, as though he were a spectator watching with interest the progress of a scene, and vividly revealing the impression made by it on his mind. On Tuesday he went back to his old holiday-book, the " Christmas Carol," which, complete in itself, and a t t h e same time abounding in in vivid pictures of the eve r yd ay world that derive a fanciful tint from the supe rnatural element the story, has always been found eminently suit able for his purpose. The unction with whi c h hea heartyde s describes i chucklebe s the jollities when h ofe describes t old rising intotrades man's ball and other manifestations of mirth, hi s thewdheiachthhoef exhibits when r q r u im iet ,,, p a a n th d o t s h w e h gr en as h p e of character to when he follows the conversion of Scrooge from a comes miserly hunks in a jovial boon-companion are not only admirable in themselves, but are accompanied by a power of enlisting the sympathies of a large audience which is rarely attained even by a theatri cal performance, much less by a " reading." It is a singular spectacle, that of one gentleman in a plain evening dress reading from a book for two hours, and an audience that fills the largest concert-room in London catching every syllable with eager curio sity, yet ready to express their satisfaction whenever their sympathies are moved. More singular does the spectacle become when we reflect that the ma jority of these attentive listeners know the story almost as well as the "reader" himself. It is to the new life given by the wonderful elocution of Mr. Dickens to his own creations that this universal I curiosity is to be ascribed. The people know the outline and the details as they stand in black and white, but they desire to see the living figures pass before them, reproduced by the imagination on which the "reader" so strongly works. Mr. Dickens' last readings iu London will respectively take place on Tuesday, the 29th inst., and the two Tuesdays following. The Late Colonel Hobbs. The late Colonel Hobbs's brother has written to the Times as follows :—" Hitherto I have forborne addressing you on a subject which has, nevertheless, given me for a considerable time the deepest concern and anxiety namely, the manner in which the name of my late brother, Colonel Hobbs, has been assailed by a portion of the press iu this country as to his character, both as an officer and a man, in connexion with the part which he took in the sup pression of the recent outbreak in Jamaica. My reason for allowing those attacks to remain so low , unnoticed was that as to hi s character as an officer', I was, add still am, quite prepared to await the Re port of the Royal Commission on the subject, by which report his character as an officer must either stand or fall ; and lam under the impression that the best way to meet attacks against private character is to live them down in silence. But, as my unfortunate brother no longer lives to enable him to do this, I cannot now remain silent, and trust that you, who did not hesitate to censure his conduct as an officer, Trill not refuse me space in your columns to say a few words in defence of his character as a man. My brother has been accused of wanton and unnecessary cruelty in his dealings with the negroes. This I most em phatically deny, and in saying so I am confident I shall be borne out by everyone who ever knew him, for I believe him to have been incapable of ever act ing under the influence of malice and cruelty, and I have not the smallest doubt that in every case in which he found himself called upon to adopt severe measures he did so with pain and reluctance, and would have gladly spared life or the infliction of punishment if he thought he could have done so con sistently with the discharge of his duty to his Queen and his country. However unwisely my brother may have written or acted, and I do not hesitate to say he may have done both, I feel convinced that be acted solely from a high sense of duty, influenced by sincere Christian principles, and a desire to per form that duty in a fearless and soldierlike manner. If ever there was a man literally goaded to madness, my unhappy brother was the man. Supported and congratulated by the whole of the European popu lation of Jamaica for the manner in which he acted, under the trying circumstances in which he was placed, he found in this country the same line of conduct commented upon, reprobated, and con demned in the most unmeasured terms by ~p t e l dr soh n si s utterly unable either to realise or ti c o o e mph coming upon position. The sense of this . in s j t u io s n, and weak a sensitive mind, nervous con stitution produced to find himself deserted But, in the hour of need , hmight have expected, and by those from whom e e ct_ this was more than be the mcilOst Unfavourable effect. was entitled to, a nd the sad story terminated mind gave way under the of anxiety, y w ith which the whole world in the miserabl e acquainted,t g zealous, straightforward soldier and in the premature and un happyis now calculated eminently heavy elonaddure, and respect — this to adorn his position a miable and accomplished gentleman." and an en .n d h o f f e o a n s e a TIERBIRTHDAY Yesterd a y b e i ng the47th MAJESTY'S anniversary of her M a j es t y ' s b irthday, the ovent was celebrat e d w i th royal borough beinc, every honour at Windsor, the Highnesses the c) completely en fete.
