All seems progressing favourably towards a Con- L gress, and the various countries appear willing to accede to the invitations to the Conference. Austria has declared that she accepts the arrangement pro posed, because she is unwilling to frustrate by her refusal this last effort at peace. The principal points in the programme that Austria has drawn up for the Conference are—the categorical refusal of all propositions relative to the cession of Venetia ; the solution of the Schleswig-Holstein question, which is to be effected by a convocation of the estates of these duchies; and the Conference is not to be competent to discuss a proposal for a reform of the Federal Constitution. If these rules be adhered to the original plan of the Conference will be almost entirely departed from, but it is not likely that the Vienna Govern , went will be able to carry out their wishes in this respect, for if Venetia be banishedfrom thedis d heuesr sion Italy will feel very much aggrieved, and representative is not likely to work very earnestly in forwarding the labours of the Conference ; while, on the other hand, if the Federal Reform be left out of the programme, Prussia will certainly be much annoyed. On the whole, it seems strange that Austria should make such a proposition ; but per haps she does it to savo time, and not seem to agree too readily to the affair, as all know her grievous unwillingness to a Con gress or a Conference at all. The semi official Abendpost declares that the items of the publication of the Prussian Staatscnneiger do not in reality amount to a programme at all, and are not a true indication of the proposals of Prussia. The Abendpost adds very truly, that " It is only just to expect that Prussia should now make propositions of a positive and definite character." The fact is that the Berlin Cabinet are most occult in their management of affairs, and it is all almost impossible to define what they would be at exactly. Herr B I sir rte I+7. must be pretty well convinced by this time of the estimation in which he is held, and he is therefore afraid to appear too openly in the prose cution of his plans. In order to effect his object the better the Prussian Minister has intimated to the Government of Electoral Hesse that a war between Austria and Prussia will involve the dissolution of the Germanic Confederation. How absurd this is, but of course it is a trick to conceal a purpose. One thing in which the Prussian Cabinet has had to change its policy in a noteable manner is in the question of the neutrality of the German States. Whereas, at the outset of this dispute, it seemed it was pretty plainly intimated that Prussia would proceed to extremities against all those States which did not aid her in the struggle, she has now declared that she will respect the sovereignty of all those States " which do not assume an anti-Prussian attitude." A strong Russian corps of observation has been concentrated on the frontiers of Prussia, Silesia, and Gallicia. All things tend to show the dangers that Prussia will incur in the event of a war, and what with a French army of observation in one direction and a Russian in another, she will have enough to do. It will be better for the Prussian rulers to take timely warning, and not to provoke a struggle in which they may be worsted to a great extent, and in which at the best they must lose a great deal. Prussia, iu her Note of acceptance as to the Conference, intimated that they must reserve to the Diet the decision on the question of Federal reform. Those who have been at such pains to orga nise this Congress must already be very tired of it, and eagerly desire its close. Nothing is more aggravating than to try to help those who will not help themselves, and this is conspicuously the case as regards the German Powers, to say nothing of Italy, where the rage for war seems likely to overrule the considerations of pru dence and to cast reason to the winds. The French Government seem to have done the best they could for the attainment of their ends. Their Note of invitation to the Conference has been pub lished at Frankfort, and ably represents the neces sities of the case. It states that the Conference has for its object the diplomatic settlement of the ques tions of Schleswig-Holstein and 'Venetia, and also of Federal reform, inasmuch as it relates to the European equilibrium. It concludes by expressing an earnest wish, on the part of the Government of the EMPEROR, that those Powers who have made preparations for war would suspend their armaments in the event of their accepting the proposed Conference, even if they "should scruple to restore their military establishments en- I tirely to a peace footing." This is quite fair and reasonable, and we hope that the parties concerned will have the just sense to agree to the demand, be cause it will entirely spoil the work of mediation if wars, and rumours of wars, are constantly springing up in all directions. Besides, it will be a very con venient excuse for unwilling Powers to make to any request that is ma d e that there is no chance of peace, and therefore no need to make this or that sacrifice to preserve it. Prussia has given one ar sign t of ac qu i escence in countermanding the ep ure of the reg i ments of Guards, which were d to have gone into cantonments in the environs of Berlin. From the tone of the Berlin journals it does not appear that the Ministry expect to give up the Elbe Duchies, or at any rate to lose the whole of them if the Conference be fully carried out. Of course every effort will be made on the part of the Government to make the best they can, but the re will rest with the Conference not t o allow themselves selves to be again actuated by the schemes of these Prussian manceuvrers as they have too often been before. Unless the representatives of the different Powers at the Conference are willing to restrain the unworthy efforts of Prussia in an effectual manner they had better not attempt any ' thing, but leave things to take their change. The second reading of 11r. CLAY'S educational gave ri se t o an i nterest i ng discussion. The ati very pr act i cal test which it offers to professing re formers thins the ranks of the Liberals with amazing rapidity, and the House beheld the astonishing spectacle of Mr. GLADSTONE and Mr. BRIGHT, whose opinions are believed to verge on democracy, unconditionally opposing the bill ! So far as the Chancellor of the Exchequer is concerned, we can pot but believe that his opposition is dia rather to the ex igencies of his official opposition than to his own individual convictions. No man is more likely to estimate education at its rightvalue, as no man is better qualified to give an opinion on any educational question. The Leader of the House, however, is not entirely free to accept to follow his own inclina tions. The Cabinet have accepted the Reform Bill as it now stands, and any attempt to add so con siderable an improvement would find plenty of op position among the members of the Government itself. I,lr. GLADSTONE'S arguments were laboured and inconclusive, and although the task of opposing the bill fell almost entirely upon him, he. failed to show his usual animation and energy. The fact is he was arguing in a bad cause, and one manifestly inconsistent with the principles which he has recently upheld. Re formers will, perhaps, be astonished to find the member for Biriningham, after all his diatribes, resolutely opposing a measure so well calculated to elevate the people, so readily adapted to admit to the franchise intelligent men of all classes, and offering safeguards against ignorance and intole rance which no other system can supply. Mr. BRIGHT'S objections to an educational franchise are quite inconsistent with his theories about the rights of the people. Every one knows the differ ence between a person who has acquired even the rudiments of education and a totally illiterate man. The teachers of adult schools are continually sur prised at the contrast offered by even their most in telligent scholars to children of mediocre ability who have been taught the elements of knowledge. In every sphere of life in business, in domes tic service, among artisans and agricultural la bourers, we can at once see the difference between the man who can read and write and [ the man who is absolutely illiterate. Education is the great leveller and the great barrier. Two well-educated persons can meet on equal ground, whatever the difference of rank or fortune. - An ignorant or uncultivated man, whatever his means or position, is inferior to all. No one /expects the working classes td attain great proficiency in elaborate studies, but it is tot too much to demand that they shall be able to read, write, and cipher before they take part in influ encing the affairs of the country. If a man cannot read his newspaper, how is he to form an opinion on foreign affairs? How is he to weigh the relative merits of the candidates for election, to examine the speeches, the votes, the policy of his member. If it is urged that a labouring man has no need to study politics before he gives a vote, we can only reply that if politics are a matter of indifference to him the possession of a vote is worse than useless. It lays him open to influence and intimidation. He is at the mercy of every demagogue ; he is able, even if interested in public affairs, to hear only one side of a question. " Fair play" is always the Eng lish watchword, but how can a man give a fair con sideration to a question if he only hears one-half of it ? Let us encourage the working classes to educate themselves, and then they will be able to think for themselves, to judge fairly and calmly, not carried away by declamation, not blinded by preju dice, not misled by interested partisans. Intolerance 'a figrnondmoraa nvoice i,c prejudice e a and iin our re two oiutr u is re these i ee l ss f a ee i n l t in a g t thati 01n,,.e. Iwish sthoo accompaniments euxldelliu lid o ee f to know to what the gentlemen who oppose this bill attribute the marvellous alteration inthe condition of the working classes in the last 30 or 40 years? If our masses are to be trusted to uphold the laws, to maintain order, to submit themselves to civil autho rity as no other people in Europe can be trusted, to what is it owing ? It is to education and to civil freedom. We do not hear now of machinery broken, of bread riots, and public disturbances, such as half a century ago attended any time of public distress and trial ; and it is because men have learned to think and to reason, to understand cause and effect, not to attribute the blame of any tem porary trouble to the person nearest at hand. No one pretends to deny the wonderful pro gress made by our working classes, and it is the men who have made this progress that we are anxious to admit to the franchise. Mr. GLAD STONE says that if a labouring man at one-and twenty can pass an examination in the rudiments of learning, he will forget all he has learned in a life of labour, and at 40 or 50 will retain the privilege without the qualification. But does Mr. GLAD ' STONE pretend to say that such a man will be on a level with the totally ignorant ? Mr. GLADSTONE may turn for an example to that i University of which he is one of the chief boasts. How many men who attain a creditable degree at Oxford or Cambridge keep up their proficiency in 1 the dead languages or abstruse mathematics in after life? Yet would he have us believe that early study does not leave its traces all through life ? that the enlargement of the mind, the ripening of the facul ties, the strengthening of the judgment, the cultiva tion of the taste, do not remain when 'Escin - Lt's and HoRAeE are left unread, and .the problems of EUCLID are forgotten in the practical cares of life? There is no need for the working man to do a sum which Mr. GLADSTONE does not believe thirty members of the House could do ? He must be hard up for an argument when he resorts to such logic. Does he mean to say that members who could not read would be equally fit representatives ? His inference would imply it, though he can scarcely wish to carry his theories so far. It is, moreover, very much to be doubted whether a man of twenty one, who takes the trouble to secure a vote by passing an examination, would forget all he had learned. He would naturally read the papers, and thus keep up his reading, and the sense that he had acquired the franchise by individual effort would stimulate him to further exertion. As for the objection that young men may vote when their fathers may not that has no weight. If the sons are qualified, and the father is not, it is right they should have the privilege. How many sons of ability or good fortune attain a position which their fathers never reached ? The Constitution does not re3ognise such theoretical obstacles; but, in fact, the objections to Mr. CLAY'S measure are more cor rectly "fancy" objections than the bill is a "fancy" measure.

DIE GOVERNMENT LOAN TO RAILWAYS.—The assistance to Irish railways, which we announced exclu sively on Saturday, is to be, as we stated, a loan at 4 per cent,, not 31 per cent., as has been stated by a contem porary. It is a temporary measure to relieve companies whose bonds fall due in the present year from the pres sure incident to the financial crisis.—Dzalin Evening CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. The Moniteur says :—" The Plenipotentiaries of France and Spain, for arranging the Emits of the frontiers of the Pyrenees, signed on the 26th of May, at Bayonne, the third treaty, and an addi tional act of the Treaty of 1862, by which the secular difficulties which existed on the subject of the limits bet Ween France and Spain are definitively regulated." It is stated semi-officially that accounts have been received from Vienna, Berlin, and Florence, an nouncing that the quasi-belligerent Powers have adopted spontaneously and without previous ar rangement the military state quo. Consequently, strategical movements are suspende - 1 in the three countries. lam informed that the answers to the " identical Note" proposing a Conference have been received by the French Government. The Jockey Club, at all events, did not exhibit any jealousy because the great prize was won by au English horse. An immediate invitation was given after the races to the Duke of Beaufort to attend a splendid banquet at the club on Sunday evening. Sixty persons of high distinction were present. Count Paul Daru presided. At dessert the presi dent proposed as a toast the union of England and France, in homage of which union the file was given. The toast was responded to very enthusi astically. The Duke of Beaufort acknowledged the compliment with much good taste, energy, and eloquence. Ile said he most cordially joined in the union, and trusted that the only struggle between the two countries would be in emulation and to advance in the cause of progress. One of the Paris papers has stated that Lord Cowley had been sent for to London, and that he had left Paris. This is not the case. His lordship had a dinner party on the day he was supposed to have gone to London, and among his guests was Lord Brougham, who was on his way to his scat at Cannes. During the discussion in the Legislative Body respecting telegraphic communication some very interesting statements were made upon the subject. M. Jules Brame expressed his regret that France was much behind hand in regard to this important mode of communication. In the first place, the telegraph was a State monopoly, and every mono poly, sooner or later, became a public calamity. The instruments employed in France were all of foreign invention. Those of Morse and Hughes were American. That of Casselli was Italian, and the improvements upon the apparatus of Morse was made by a Piedmontese. Another, used principally for transatlantic communication, was Prussian. There was not one French instrument ! This did not arise from the want of national genius, but it was want of initiation in France when application was wanted. In 1820 the illustrious Ampere sug gested a mode of telegraphic correspondence, but he was alarmed at the sacrifices necessary for the realisation of his invention, and thirty years after wards, in 1851, we made use of the invention, copied for England. It was the same thing with rail ways. In 1830 the celebrated M. Perdonuet spoke of travelling by railway, but he was treated as a fool. Ten years afterwards railways were estab lished in various States which had preceded France in their use. The inventor who works his discovery proceeds rapidly enough, but when the invention is an affair of State the progress is made with aca demic slowness. (A laugh.) If the illustrious Daguerre had wanted a State "subvention to carry his discovery into effect photography would have been delayed for several centuries. In fact, when Daguerre presented himself before the Academy of Selene? lie was treated as a quack ; he was searched and made to turn up his sleeves. He only con vinced the academicians after he had taken all their portraits. (Much laughter.) The orator proceeded to say that an important discovery for the country had arisen out of the battles of Ma genta and Solferino. Before that time it was sup posed that the superiority of English coals over those of France was established beyond doubt. The war in Italy broke out. Austria declared that coal was a contraband of war. France and Pied mont made a contrary declaration, and the ques tion was submitted to the arbitration of England. England, with that good faith and those good sen timents which we all ascribe to her, said that Aus tria was right. (A laugh.) The Emperor, how ever, ordered further investigation into the subject, and the result was that the French engineers are now of opinion that French coals are superior to those of England. The speaker, in conclusion, enumerated the names of several great inventors who found in foreign countries the encouragement and success which they could not obtain in France. Among them were Philippe de Gerard, the inventor of the flax loom ; Captain Delille, the inventor of the screw principle for steamers; and Brunel, who completed the Thames Tunnel, but who, in France, could not find employment as engineer in an humble position in the department of bridges and highways. The Baron de Veaue, on the part of the Govern ment, said that the delays complained of by the orator arose from the circumstance that it was diffi cult, in France, to form associations with capital. That explained, for instance, the reason of the more rapid establishment of railways in foreign countries than in France. It was true that the instruments of foreign inventors were used for telegraphic com munication, but important improvements had been made in them by French inventors: The Journal de Roanne mentions the existence in that town of a race of fanatics, a sort of ramifica tion of the sect of Bequbines, who believed that the world would come to an end on Whitsuntide. In preparation for the event they let their beards grow, became teetotallers, and bathed frequently in the river Loire. Saturday night beforeWhit-Sunday was passed in prayer. When they found that the world was not destroyed some repaired to have their beards shaved, others to the wine-shops to indulge in the bottle, from which they had so long abstained, The rest believe that the end of the world is only postponed till next Whit-Sunday, A letter from Nice contradicts the report of the death of Garibaldi's brother at that town, but says he is in a dangerous, if not hopeless, state. The Siecle says :—" Should the Cabinet of Vienna consent to the Conference, it will have given a sig nificant proof of its conciliatory disposition. Its usual organs, however, persisting in an attitude of menace and defiance, it must be believed that the Austrian newspapers are more Imperialists than the Emperor, : and that the Government of Francis Joseph is disposed to entertain the question of Venetia. The diplomatic expression, ' Italian differences,' was, it is said, invented by M. Drouyn de l'lluy-s, and cannot lead Austria into error." The apparatus used _ for telegraphs in France before the application of electricity was invented by the brothers Chappe, assisted by the eminent watch maker, Breguet. By means of this application news could be received in Paris from Strasburg by 44 telegraphs, in 6 minutes. From Toulon, in 30 minutes, by 100 telegraphs. From Brest, in 8 minutes, by 54 telegraphs. This old telegraph was first replaced in Frdnce by the electric telegraph from Paris to Rouen, in 1845. When the price of a telegram was reduced, and one uniform rate of 2f. for any part of France was established, the number of despatches was greatly increased. Before that change—that is to say in 1861, the number of de spatches sent was 734,000. In 1862 the number increased to 1,291,000. In, 1865 the number of despatches transmitted was 1,913,000 —that is to say, it was tripled in three years. The apparatus of Caselli seems to be preferred in France, because it transmits not the despatch, but the exact copy of the autograph, T'ne Nazione publishes the following from Gari baldi to the students of Florence, who expressed a wish to enrol themselves as volunteers under his banners : " Caprera, May 26, 1866.—Dear Friends,—l thank you for your affection. Tho oath of the grandchildren of Fer rued.° and Capponi will have a fatal echo for the oppress ing foreigner.—Ever yours, G. GARIBALDI." THE Bisuor OF BATII AND WELLS.—The health of Lord Auckland, Bishop of Bath and Wells, has consider ably improved, but he was unable to conduct his own ordi nation on Sunday last. It was taken for him by Dr Anderson, vicar of Clifton, formerly Bishop of Rupert's LAnd. LA TEST INTELLIGENCE, (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) ITALY. MILAN, MAY 30 (Evening).

SOUTHAMPTON, May 31. The Hamburg and American Company's steam ship Germania, from New York on the 19th inst., has arrived here. She brings $780,000 for Eng land, $150,000 for France, and $140,000 for Hamburg. Off Sandy Hook she spoke the ship Thornton and the Norwegian barque Ovilgie ; on the 24th a steamer, and another on the 29th, both bound for New York. CANADA. TORONTO, May 17. On Monday a military exhibition was opened at Montreal by Gen. Sir John Michel, commander of the forces. An address was read to his excellency by Gen. Lindsay, in which industrial pursuits for soldiers were strenuously advocated. To encourage this object the exhibition was originated. Her Majesty the Queen has desired her name to be added as patron of the movement. The bust of the Prince of Wales, presented by his Royal Highness to the Corporation of Toronto, has arrived out here, and has been placed in the Council Chamber. In Montreal the drivers and conductors on the street railway are on strike. The scarcity of labourers is so great that the works of the Corpora tion cannot be done. The same scarcity of labourers prevails in Upper Canada. It is thought by some that in the event of the New Brunswick elections being favourable to a Confederation of the Provinces, that the forthcom ing session of Parliament will be prolonged so as to admit of the introduction and passing of the schemes for the local Government of the Province. Dr. Lawler of the 25th Regiment died suddenly at Montreal on Sunday last. He was interred with military honours on the afternoon of the Wednes day, General Lindsay and his staff being present. The coffin was.earried to the grave on an Armstrong gun drawn by six horses. Dr. Lawler was uni versally respected. He had the character of great bravery, and possessed medals and clasps for dis tinguished services from the Turkish and British Governments. The military have replaced the Volunteers at Ottawa, the ilew seat of Government. OUR AMERICAN BENEFACTOR AND AMERICAN GRATITUDE.---MT., George Peabody is still living in retirement at South Danvers, Massachusetts. It is stated that he had scarcely set foot in that town before the in ternal revenue collector served him with a notice to pay his income tax siuce the beginning of 1863. This will amount to a large sum, being 8 per cent. on the income of 1863, 10 per cent. on the income of 1864, and 10 per cent. on the income of 1865. Such treatment of an honoured visitor would scarcely have occurred outside the State of Massachusetts. Mr. Peabody claims still to be a citizen of the United States, and is therefore liable to income tax.

ETHARDO IN DUBLIN. —On Saturday Ethardo made his first ascent in the Exhibition Palace, in the presence of a large assemblage. It was viewed with great interest ; and for the benefit of all who would not like to miss seeing his very wonderful performance, we may mention that Ethardo will make his ascents daily at the Exhibition Palace during the week. The apparatus used by the ascensionist was placed in the centre of the glass building, opposite the apse. it consists of a masrive pole, some.6o or 70 feet iu height, round which a pathway of planking is constructed in a spiral or conical form, from an extended circular base to a point at the top, where there is a resting place. Shortly before five o'clock Ethardo made his appearance. Ho is small in stature, but well made and muscular. He wore a brilliant tight-fitting dress, of the style usually assumed by public athletes. He did not commence his wonderful ascent until five o'clock. At in tervals, during his progress up the spiral, he stopped and bowed to the audience. On reaching the top he was warmly applauded. The display does not last much more than a quarter of an hour. This and the other engagements, already fillel or announced, will be accepted by the public as au earnest that the directors of thq Exhibition Palace intend to do everything in their power to provide varied and interesting displays at their unrivalled place of p,o2use ment.—Saunclers'a News Letter. _ _ WHO'S YOUR DOCTVE F- 1- 11 - 01LISON5 PILLS LITERATURE. -.--...-..-.......... Travelling in Spain in the Present Day. By Henry Blackburn. One Vol., pp. 248. Illustrated. Sampson Low, Son, and Marston. This pleasant volume, dedicated to the Right Hon. E. Horsman, M.P., by his late private Secre tary, admirably fulfils its author's design, which was " to record simply and easily the observations of ordinary English travellers visiting the principal cities of Spain." The travellers whose adventures are here recorded were, however, something more than ordinary observers. Some artists, being of the party, have given graceful evidence of their observa tions in some spirited sketches of Spanish scenes and Spanish characters. There are uo less than nineteen of these illustrations, someby John Phillip,"R.A., and the ornaments at the beginning and close of the chapters are fac-similes of embroidery brought from Granada. The whole volume, in its getting up and appearance, is most attractive, and the descriptions of Spanish men and women are singularly interest ing, because so evidently faithful and natural. Very amusing is the account of the travellers' visit to a workshop in Burgos, where little business was ap parently carried on. " Here," says the narrator, " and elsewhere on the Plaza the people were very quiet and civil, and if we gave no trouble, and lifted anything down ourselves that we wanted to see, we were free to look about us as long as we pleased ; for your Castilian, true aristocrat that he is, will lay his hands to nothing menial." With regard to the national costume, we are reminded that " Spaniards seem to suffer in appearance more than any other European nations by adopting the modern costume. A swarthy, stout senor in a scanty paletot, badly-made trousers, and chimney-pot hat, loses what he most prizes and depends upon— his dignity of bearing ; and there is uo question that las senoras, who look grand in their dark dresses and black lace mantillas (which are still de riqueur in the churches), do not appear to advantage in Parisian bonnets and bright colours." The descrip tion of Burgos Cathedral is very interesting, with the groups of peasants that seemed to have stepped out of the canvas of Murillo" or Velasquez. At the close of this volume is an appendix, corrected to April, 1866, which will be invaluable to all intend ing travellers in Spain. It gives very accurate and intelligible information respecting distances, times and fares of railway trains, diligences, and steam boats throughout the entire excursion with other useful information. The Toilet and cosmetic Arts. By Arnold J. Cooley One Vol. 804 pages. Robert Hardwicke. Imagine a goodly ponderous tome of eight hun dred and four pages devoted to the arts and myste ries of the toilet ! Napoleon, by a happy soldier's metaphor, is said to have described the toilet of the fascinating Josephine as a perfect arsenal with which she withstood the attacks of Time." Such a magazine is now offered to the ladies of England by the painstaking author and compiler of " The Clyclop3ia of receipts, processes, data, and col lateral information in the arts, manufactures, pro fessions, and trades ;" of the " Dictionary of the English Language," of " The Latin Grammar for Technical Students and Self-tuition," and of " Two Months in a London Hospital." Mr. Arnold J. Cosley is one who delights in a very thorough per formance of any given task. The works above enumerated bear evidence of this praiseworthy pro pensity, and a mere epitome of the present work as given on the title page will be sufficient to attest the amazing comprehensiveness of this undertaking. This very elaborate work affords us complete in struction respecting " The Toilet and Cosmetic Arts in Ancient and Modern Times : with a review of the different Theories of Beauty, and copious other information Social, Hygienic, and Medical, in cluding instructions and cautions respect ing the selection and use of Perfumes, Cosmetics, and other Toilet Articles, and a com prehensive collection of formula and directions for their preparation." Il fast souffrir pour etre belle, says a homely French adage, and, assuredly, a glance at this very formidable-looking work (which would be alarming even for a moral homily or a scientific treatise) would threaten pains and penal ties enough to the gay young aspirant for the pri vileges of beauty. " The fair maid of the vale, when with flowers she'dresses Her dark flowing locks for some festival day," might with reason, indeed, " mournfully turn from lier mirror away" at the prospect of a preliminary study of these eight hundred pages! We cannot but think that the author has made a mistake in the arrangement of his work. The historical descriptions of the Toilet from the earliest ages, interesting as they may be in them selves, should appear in a separate form, addressed to a different class of readers, while the chapters on the management of the hair, and other mat ters of practical utility, might have been published in a smaller and more attactive form as a handy-book of practical instruction for the dressing-room. The curiosities of historical research might interest one large class of readers who would hardly care to be instructed in the mysteries of curling tongs and kalydor. Speaking of this last attraction, we are surprised to find a writer who acknowledges the solo efficacy of health in promoting beauty devote nearly three hundred pages to a list of cosmetic receipts ! Skin cosmetics, forty-eight pages 1 Hair-cosmetics, sixty-three pages ! Tooth-cosmetics, forty-two pages ! We reme.nber, in some pantomime, when Dame Nature, personified as a vener able old lady, being about to undertake some distant journey was offered the facility of some artificial express. The old lady indignantly pro testing to the aerial Art, " Your best invention can't beat legs for walking !" Fresh air, fresh water, and plenty of both, are truer cosmetics than any contained in these three hundred pages of re ceipts. With all its manifest ability and research, Mr. Cooley's book is too ponderous for general in vestigation, nevertheless we do not quite despair as regards the good looks of our fair country women. Our Social Bees. _ Second Series. By A n d rew _ _ Wynter, M.D. One vol. Hardwicke. This second series of Dr. Wynter's republished essays will be generally welcome.

The body was broken, and the head dashed to pieces, the brains being scattered on the machinery. The husband found his wiWg remai ns crushed beyond identification. 176 It 71' Ov . e f fintt ular HER MAJES TY. Her Majesty, since her arrival at Cliefdeu House, has daily taken rides in the grounds to enjoy the beautiful scenery, accompanied by the members of the royal family who are staying at the Duchess of Sutherland's celebrated seat. It is anticipated that the Court will return to Windsor Castle at the end of the week. SOIMIA3IPTON, Thursday Morning.—The Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburg and their infant, who arrived last night from the Brazils in the steamship Rhone, left for London by special train at 10.15 a.m., accompanied by the Duke de Nemours, the Prince de Joinville, and a dis tinguished party. Visit of General Neal Dow to Liverpool. d- General Neal Dow, who is on a visit to Europe for the benefit of his health, arrived in Liverpool by the Peruvian yesterday morning, and was warmly welcomed by a depu tation of members of the United Kingdom Alliance of Liverpool and Manchester. Soon after landing he w as entertained to breakfast at Lawrence's Hotel, Clayton" square. Mr. Lawrence Heyworth, president of the South Lancashire and. North Cheshire Temperance Union, occu pied the chair, and about 50 gentlemen were pres ent. Amongst the speakers were Genetal Dow, the Revs. Dr . White, J. Jones, S. Steinthal, and other well-know n, friends of the temperance m o v emen t. A reso lution Nog adopted expressive of the most friendly w ish es for General Dow, and hopes that his visit would grea tly s timulate the temperance reform throughout the country. We under stand that several mass meetings, at whi c h General DoW will be present and speak, are in contempl a tion for various towns. One of these is to be held in the Liverpool Amp theatre. The Hon. NEAL Dow, in acknowledging the very marked compliment that had been paid him by the COra - pany, said he could sc a rc e ly ex p ress hi s f ee li ngs o f grati fication at the welcome he had received on his landing in England. He went on to remark that they Wer e assembled not simply as philanthropists, not simply as men associated with the great movement which was now being made throughout the country with the view of rescuing their fellowmen from the evils of intemperance, but also as patriots, to rescue their country from the terrible evils re sulting from the traffic in intoxicating drinks. They were assembled not merely as Christian men and philanthropists , but also as politicians, having regard to the political inte rests of the country as well as for the welfare and happiness of the hundreds of thousands of families around them, now terribly scourged by the evils of intemperance. On that occasion it might seem appropriate that he should speak of Great Britain and the United States as two great king doms united to each other by common ties of language , blood, and love of religious liberty—(hear, hear) - and in whose interests were involved also the interests of civili sation and Christianity throughout the world. Upon his side of the Atlantic they were not a little surprised, not to say amazed, when, at the close of their great rebellion, they heard it said, through the newspapers and otherwise, (lilt men of great importance in the political world were of opinion that the Americans were turning round from quarrelling amongst themselves, and that now they had got their borne war off their shoulders, they were bound to have a struggle with Great Britain. He need scarcely say how greatly mis taken were those of the English people who _thought so. Did they suppose that the Americans fought for the love of fighting? Did they suppose that their taste for blood was only whetted by the deluge of blood spilt on the other side of the Atlantic ? On the contrary, the American people greatly sympathised with the sentiment which bad been already expressed in that assemblage, that henceforth and for ever a union cordial and hearty, a friendship most sincere, should exist between those two great nations. (Cheers.) He would not, however, say that there was 0 other sentiment than that on the other side of the water, but any different sentiment was confined entirely to that party for whom there had formerly been a very stroll; expression of sympathy on the pa r t o f th e B r iti s h public. That contrary sentiment was confined entirely to the par/ connected with the Secession movement, the feeling of the most intelligent and better portion of the people i n the North being to have a cordial union and sincere friendsh i p with Great Britain. (Hear, hear.) Not only were the . people of the two nations one in common blood, but then material interests were also intim a t e ly connec ted with each other. The United States was th e grea t market fo r Great Britain, and had m o re commerc i a l i n tercours e with her than any other nation—he might say than all others put together. Great Britain h a d a lso more WO .uate and extensive relations with th e U n ited State s than with any other country. Th e i r i n t ere sts were iden tical, and no misunderstandi ng , no t t o ca y rup t ure , in their peaceful relations could oc cur w ith ou t caus i ng th e most disastrous results to both. (H ear , h ear .) Th e preva iling sentiment, therefore, on th e o th er s id e o f th e Atlantio was one in favour of friendship th e mos t sincere and hearty between the United States and Great Britain, and they re joiced in everything that contributed to the honour of Great Britain. (Cheers.) The maintenance of the great principles of civil and religious liberty depended upon England and the United States. (Hear, hear.) After re citing an anecdote of two ships meeting at sea, in reference to the national song of which th e c h orus was " Britannia' rules the waves," General Dow said no doubt it had been the case hitherto that Britannia ruled the waves, but he expressed a conviction that the time was very near at hand, and those now livin g wou ld see i t, w h en s h e woula cease to rule the waves, unless she struck down the trafda in intoxicating drink. She was wasting £75,000,000 of money, and sacrificing 60,000 of her subjects every 'P ar for the demon strong drink; and rich and powerful as she was, it was not possible she could compete with the United States if she suffer e d th at tremendous drain of bl oo d and treasure. If Great B r it a i n did not strike down tha t doll° her song must b e c h anged, audit must bo in future ,‘ Col lllll' bia rules the waves." He put this matter before them not simply as philanthropists or Christian men desiring t he welfare of their fellow men, but he put it to them as Enq ... lishmen, and he said that they could not maintain their position amongst the nations of the earth except upon th ° condition of putting down the traffic in intoxicating drinks. (guar, hear.) During his stay in this count."' in 1 '. 11e ,„ course of his tour he should h ave o pp or t un iti es o f rneetilia both Englishmen, Scotchmen, and Irishmen in other places' where he should be able to say what he thought and fe lt ' and what his countrymen thought and felt in relation t ° this matter. It had been a matter of absorbing interest to them. They were E ng li s h men over th ere — son s of same fathers, and the sentiment which characterised Bug' lishmen more than any other was the love of country'. I tce Englishman everywhere was tho r o ug hly an d h e artily d e _ voted to his country, and so it was with any of Oen: (Americans). So that when the Southern rebellion en ° _ menced the nation resolved, come what mi g ht, to preser: their country from destruction. (Applause.) In coral % across the country, associated as he was for some sass with highly intelligent and educated Englishmen, he N u _ not fail to learn that there was a stron g i m pression isting on the minds of many English people with 7 1i ference to the character of the great struggle in which the Americans had been engaged, and perhaP,s at might be proper, entering upon his tour in u l° t Britain, to say a few words in re l a ti on to t' it ct matter. It had been remarked by many intelligent r highly educated Englishmen th a t th e peop l e o f the l'O the Federals as they were called, should have met they Southern brethren with conciliatory words, and that nu ti ciliatory measures should have been adopted by the N° the instead of the words and measures which the people o f North had employed. He must be permitted to say, he y . ever,. that the policy of the North had bean one of ciliatory character. So long as slavery existed in ~ t b Southern States, the interests of the North and S °;., seemed not to be harmonious with each other; thei r . l ec i terests came into collision, and their conflicts were ca rne on in the Senate, and the North alway s con ciliated b ' eir South by yielding to them what th e y regar d e d as t , ho interests. From year to year dem an d s were m ade by South and concessions granted by the North. The Ain e n d cans had great national fertile territories, and a d ' ra3 t be was at length made by the South that the people a ha North should not only recognise their declaration that black man had not ri g ht s w hi c h th e w hit e man was ° loc i, to respect, but that the immense territory to which 113 . t bat av alluded should be thro wn o p en t o th e sles. lip to to point the North had yielded, and done everything for o b i t purpose of conciliation ; but when it came to that t o, the people of the North resolved that, heaven helpinge that immense territory should be consecrated to fre vie u ver , and net to slavery.
