STAMPED sd. same tongue with Burke, and Peel, and Derby, we at once compare hint with .these, forgetting the while that in a land where nature works in gigantic mood, where plain and prairie, and forest and river aro all immense, men strain expression to keep pace with the world around them, and there is a sort of rhythm between men's words and the wonders of creation that environ them." The writer fairly puts the disadvantages of a common language, but ho does not touch on the other side. If our medium of carrying evil thoughts and caricatures of each other be the same, and facilitated the dissemination of the evil, the medium is also the same in saying what is honest and true, friendly and considerate. Wo could never write France into a cordial love and alliance. All our best things would bo lost on the Spaniards and Italians as pearls on swine. But the case is very different with America. The nation responds at once to a friendly tone. Their own journals catch it up, and spread the feeling abroad with a celerity all their own. The change which has lately come over England is already working a most .beneficial change in America. Late events have .made Americans better known and understood in Europe, and the guns which obscured with their sulphurous canopy so many a fatal field over the Union, have blown away the mists and ignorance which grew with years till thus rudely dispelled. The respect in which Americans is held has deepened. If the nation bragged loudly she has performed nobly, and deeds have a significance which cannot be sneered away. It is shown, too, that abuse and sarcasm produce only abuse and sarcasm. "Have the Americans railed us out of one antiquated absurdity ? or have we laughed them out of one vulgar affectation ? " Certainly not; the effect on both nations is exactly the re verse. It is indeed the same as it would be on individuals. Who suppose that they can draw insolent caricatures of friend Brown or Robinson, and that either of those parties will at once amend his manners or reform his customs. Much more likely that friend Brown or Robinson will wait on us with a horsewhip, and teach us better manners and.more charity. "There are no two peoples in the world who want each other as much as we do. Our needs are not mere poli tical needs ;.they are far finer and closer, and nearer the heart than any such. America would be all the better for borrowing some of that English reverence for what ever is old and time-honoured, for that veneration which attaches to all that our ancestors cherished and cared for, and would be none the worse for seeing in age something besides decrepitude and decay ; and England might benefit in her Colonial Government by observing how the manli ness of a people is promoted by self-dependence, and how a f r c e t, e actually ttwo lehloyquickenneu institutionsbtaldie bslois not dntohvtt that ant o ttniwloynhhasistimulateandcshowe sharpen in. long s subsisted moo prevail etgvoeani lubetweeniit in certain industry, but family quarrels, where differences are e mbitt ere d minute knowledge of the finest traits of temperament, a familarity with every cord of sensibility. And o n ce more bceyd the ta hie n I ask if it is not high time to say farewell to these bickerings, which have certainly reacted unfavourably on the characters of each ? " It is indeed high time to try what a little consideration, a little reserve, a little deference, even a little of what courtesy each of us are accustomed to award to foreigners, might accomplish ; to endeavour to teach that instead of being natural enemies we are natural allies. No more false notion, no more injurious idea could have got abroad than that England was the hereditary enemy of America. She is no more tho hereditary enemy, than two brothers falling out, kicking and cuffing each other, and ending by abuse, are born enemies. All our interests are in'common, there is not ono adverse, not one- which ought to cause an angry word. The whole aspirations of the two peoples should be absolutely the same. They are of ono race, of one language, laws and liberty entertained in common, and spreading over the globe the Anglo Saxon-race. Other nations regard with dismay their overwhelming and growing influence. Mexico was conquered by Franco to secure a counterpoise for the Latin na.ions. For this end France occupied New Caledonia, and endeavoured to es tablish herself in Madagascar. With this view she made efforts to resuscitate Spain. They see with dismay the world conquered and subdued by the tide of emigration which for some centuries has been flowing from England, and the two leading peoples of the earth of the same kin. The interests of these two nations are positively the same, and the work before thorn is so grand that it is impossible for human beings to conceive any thing more magnificent. It is to spread over the earth Christianity, freedom, and material well-being. The idea, then, of these leaders having the same mission and inte rests, 'absolutely identical, being hostile, instead of working in brotherly love, is positively absurd. It looks as if the supreme folly of mankind enabled the Devil to thwart the most beneficent work of the Creator in the welfare of the human race, though against the direct interests of both sections of the Anglo-Saxon people, and against common sense and reason. Were these two sections of what we cannot but consider a chosen people, two crabbed old *omen, the means employed by the fiend could not have been more contemptible. The result is due to the writings of such a woman as Mrs.KTrollopo, and such a bring Fit - Ck'.' - 'fit - eTilra?ts rankle in the mind of a keenly sensitive people, the more so that the arrows were winged by feathers from their own eagle. They respected and venerated those who thus wounded them, and hoped and wished to raise in their elder kindred the admiration they felt they were entitled to for the conduct of their affairs, since they had severed the political connection. " I wish I were in a position to give power to my counsels, and I would say, now is the time not to be out done in generosity. Let there be no higgling, no bargain ing ; grasp manfully and warmly the hand that is out stretched to you, and let the feeling between the two nations be—not the conventional amity of Cabinets, but the hearty tone and affection of two kindred peoples. "We have fishery rights to discuss, and there are some unsettled claims about the Alabama which we refuse to admit. Now is the time to settle both in a spirit that will show America we are not insensible to the value of her friendship, or the force of her example. If it should be said, whence comes this new ardour of Cornelius O'Dowd for our American cousins ?—how has this new light broken in upon him ? Has the condition of Europe, the threatening attitude of France, the character of the man who rules her, nothing to say to this sudden and strange conversion ? And my answer is, it is precisely out of these causes that I see the necessity of England having one ally who is above being subsidised, but not above being esteemed. It is because out of the present convulsions m ay come a war in which France, strengthening herself by the most powerful of the late combatants, may think fit to begin that work of the revisal of the Treaties of 'l5, which she has so significantly hinted at, and whose for mation she well knows was in the main the work of England. It is because I see this 2 and I see besides we have neither true friend nor well-wisher on the Continent of Europe, I would draw closer to those who, once our narrow squabbles are forgotten, could not but regard the I old country with affection, and would never stand coldly by to see her assailed by overwhelming odds, or crushed beneath the united forces of despotism. . . . In the love that every educated American bears to England, in the pride of her great history, her grand traditions, and ter noble literature there is a tie that, if the day of adversity for us arise, will be seen to bind America to our side and our fortunes, even against the world. . . . My dread is, the fear of English power once departed, the wealth of England will be a temptation not to be resisted ; and if the day of such evil should come, there is but one people in the world who would not rejoice over our downfall, and that people is American. They are the only ones who would remember all the past glories of England—all that she has done for liberty—all she has achieved for civilisation. They are the only ones who .will look with forgiveness on our faults and failings, and bear fully . in mind whatever of good or noble there was in us. America, well knows whence she derives the great stamina of her nation. She knows it was not the Dutchman, nor the Rhinelander, nor the Celt, that gave her the mingled persistence and daring, the dogged re solve not to be conquered, and the patient endurance in time of adversity, for which we have no better adjective than Anglo-Saxon. And she will not suffer the land which stands to her in the sacred relation of a father to be in sulted or degraded. " I have a wide acquaintance with Americans, and I write these lines with the full conviction of this truth—l believe that we have no other country upon whose friendship we can count so surely in our day of need, and I am certain that with America our ally we may defy the world." TnWSPAPER 1?" V; / 77f y *-- r be by no means co m pl e t e. W e I a 1-m Z.: squadron of ironclads, but so youngest of European kingdoms, and her fie l e Y t ia was e actually beaten by the fleet of a nation scarcely ranked as a maritime Power. Numerically, instead of being as strong as all the world together, we are not even in the first place, and alliances might easily and even naturally be formed by which all our effective fleet could be out-numbered to-morrow. The position we have always vindicated for our selves has been occupied by the Americans. They really have, or believe they _ have, a Navy superior to all the navies of Europe, and their presumptions are not without plausible grounds. True, they have not maintained this position without commensurate expenditure,--but for this they have, at any rate, an eqUivalent return. Their iron-clad fleet alone numbers 75 vessels of various rates, and they have - upwards of 500 fighting ships besides. The Miantonomalt, which her commander was ready to match against our whole Channel Fleet, represents only a single ship of four guns and 1,500 tons in an array of three score such vessels. We are quite willing to lgelieve that in an hour of actual trial our ironclads would prove more formidable than is supposed, and that the national apti tudes of our seamen would still count for much in any naval contest. We can imagine, too, that a few of our best wooden ships might be found still serviceable, for an old three-decker did good work against ironclads at Lissa, and the Americans are by no means neglecting their unarmoured marine. But all the assurance we can derive from these reflections falls very far short of satisfaction. It is not enough to say that we may be somewhat stronger than we seem, when we ought, beyond all question, toile so very much stronger than we are. What we are now consider ing is not our strength itself, but our strength as proportioned to our expenditure. France and Italy together do not spend so much on their navy as we do. Austria, which has just won a considerable naval battle, spent scarcely a tenth as much. In fact, as regards our outlay, we have actually assumed very much such an obligation as that which Mr. Samuda would saddle us—the obligation of being superior to all other nations together. It is only when we look at the results obtained that our pretensions appear so moderate. No country, except America, ap proaches us in expenditure, and the expenditure of the Americans is not so much in excess of ours as it seems. It was enormous for a time, but for a very short time only. Taking the last six years together, the Americans have only spent about £80,000,000 on their navy. We, during the same period, have spent between £60,000,000 and £70,000,000, and have nothing like so much to show for it. In urging, therefore, upon the Government and the country the necessity of vigorous reform, we by no means imply the necessity of additional expenditure ; we ask only that the same money should be better spent. If the sums placed annually - at the disposal of our Admiralty were but as pro ductively invested as similar appropriations in other countries, we should find ourselves in our proper position, for we do pay a great deal more than they do for naval power. ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES. The Directors of the Bank of England having completed one quarter at the 10 per cent. muunium have now entered on another, still retaining that rate of discount. Ten per cent. is a satisfactory price to get for the loan of money on the best se curity; but as 4.2, 15, or even 20 per cent. might be charged, the country must be thankful. Indeed the Times has declared it ought to be grateful! and did it not prefer a quick and sharp ruin to the torture of a protracted agony, ending in ruin, the country being very good, no doubt would feel as the Times directs it.. The Bank of England is Queen Eleanor, and English commerce is the Fair Rosa mond. The Bank presents the cup of poison and the dagger, and Rosamond must be grateful for the consideration shown by her enemy. The Bank has decided on the ruin ; and as the country, and a combination of circumstances, have placed the power in its hands, we must be content to accept the result. It ig, however, for the interest of the nation that theresult should come quickly—that the debris should be cleared away—that the bankrupts should disappear—and that the people, emerging from their frightful sacrifices, should be left unshackled to work out their future regeneration. Bound, as they now are, hand and foot, they have no chance of maintaining their place in the race of competition. Paris is rapidly becoming the great money-centre of the world ; and if France be con tent to steer clear of foreign wars and internal com motion, England must submit to see its rival not only maintain the great start she has taken, but to see the distance increased, working as she does on a freer principle, and unencumbered with the re strictions of antiquated absurdities. The blow given to English credit has excited the attention of the civilised world, and in no country has it been more commented upon than in America. It is highly probable that American merchants will now move in their own interest to secure a more stable system of exchange—a system which will render them less dependent on the violent and disastrous keitfflifUletesaillflakkfltlfi lagt4m9gaw47„..ALtiis _ into gambling, its right to adhere to it cannot be disputed; but other people should, as far as in them lies, free themselves from the contamination. Mer chants here may enter upon transactions, taking their chance when their commitments come to maturity of the rate of discount being 10 per cent. or 2 per cent., but it is unfair that foreign merchants, who have less means of forming an opinion on the subject, should be compelled to run such tremendous risks. As London is, however, the great centre for the settlement of balances in the foreign trade of other countries, it is very hard they should be sub jected to so great a risk. The wines of France, the teas of China, the products of India, imported into the United States, are paid for in London, and an idea may be formed how injuriously American com merce is affected by variations in the rates of dis count over which that commerce has no control.

The former is daily patronised by lawyers, and the latter well known as a comfortable trump card, likely to get through this sublunary existence as pleasantly as most men or horses either. 4,000 to 1 may be got about the double event, and so I mean to make an attempt to court fortune by selecting Surney for the first and Mail Train for the second, in the hope that both may be lightly weighted, and afterwards accept and catch the judge's eye first ; thus will the commenc ing chapter of " Winning made easy" be launched, and the peculiar advantage to careful sportsmen is that I impart the information without even the cost of a stamped directed envelope ! • In all, kinds of betting or matters of risk be sure to lay a firm foundation, or you may discover losing to be much more likely than the other thing.

The winning game is generally on the cards of life, and expert players have the better chance of realising, for it. matters little whether you are a prophet or a commission agent, a billiard sharper or a stock jobber, a minor canon, or a missionary. Money, the great idol of Mammon, is the fulcrum upon which most things turn, and the possession of wealth, however acquired, is sure in the long run to command that amount of outward attention•as agreeable to its owner as applause is to the young actor. Luck and judgment are two very essential parts of needful stock in trade. The schem ing idler has only to attempt conspicuous buzzing in the great hive of human industry, and he will gradually enlist that countenance and support of weaker members who are prone to be led away ; but there is always a strong under current in which the old leaven of loaves and fishes will slowly but surely rise to the surface, letting out the_ fact that the masses are done by the shallow empirics who surround them on every side.

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 families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ?

I found the great Jock again in command of the artillery for the NurisCeeryep;inhgismipY eye on the col Ours, powder was dry, and therefore it seemed there was a capital chance of bringing myself comfortably home, as twenty's were offered, so I popped down in my little book 100 to 5 about the animal ; but somehow or other modern warfare altered the usual state of things, and Cannon Ball was nowhere.

King Christian easily and my favourite was nowhere. It will walked in, be admitted that this was an unlucky condition of things, and, i n th e present hard times, enough to discourage any Greenhorn, particularly one of moderate experience like myself. Winning was, therefore, a difficult operation, and I had enough of Brighton without attempting anything at the great county town of Lewes ; but, on com paring notes, in the evening, while waiting for a America as an Ally. Cornelius O'Dowd is a pleasant, truthful writer, and in this month's number of Blackwood takes his text from an article in the Pall Mall Gazette, styled—" America as an Ally." Corny begins with a frank confession of his own error. " I go," he says, " with every word of the Pall Mall paper, and not entirely without some sins of the kind on my conscience. I recognise what mischief mere petulant and snappish remarks on national traits have done to the good understanding between America and ourselves." We complain of something beyond snappish and petu lant remarks. Our stand is made against national insti tutions misrepresented ; national objects, wishes, and aspirations distorted ; national manners, habits, and thoughts caricatured. We maintain that the example has been set, and persistently followed, by England; and we repeat that this country has lent herself as a most formid able ally to the bitterest enemies she ever had, in a large body working incessantly in the Union in a hostile spirit against her—the Irish in America. "It sounds like a paradox, but I believe it to be strictly fact, that the common language we employ, which should have been, one might well suppose, the best bond of union between us, has actually served to widen the breach, and exasperate the soreness between us." This is indeed a fact, and one well worth deep consideration. The initiative was taken by English writers, men and women, whose main object was to write a telling book which could command a ready sale. We prefer hearing our neighbours abused to praised, we laugh at peculiarities, foibles, and caricatures well sketched, which throw ridicule on those who we know in our inmost hearts are rapidly outstripping us in the race of material well-being, who are growing into greater con sequence than ourselves. What would be said if we, in private life, acted the part we have done towards our kindred over the Atlantic. if we published our sarcasms, our strictures, our caricatures, invented the greatest ab surdities, and then sent these papers in bushels to those we attacked, our relations with our neighbours would soon become complicated. Our cousins, who had before regarded us as the elder branch, the head of an honourable family, who, in spite of serious quarrels in which they had been the victors, were inclined to venerate the seat whence their race had sprung, and the old family who still kept up the dignity of tho clan, might be expected to turn savagely from such wanton, unjust, and impolitic attacks; and so it has been. " Why this regard and delicacy for the efforts of Go vernments of such States as those of South America, for whom we care nothing, and why all these lavish comments and searching rimarks on those whose qualities for good or ill are unquestionably all our own ? Why, I would ask, single out all that we can for praise on one side, and only record what we can find fault with or object to on the other ? I believe the reason to be this, that in treat ing of the Spaniard, the Frenchman, or the Russian, we always discuss his habits and his modes of thought as those which have reference to certain things in climate and country different from our own; we accept them as ways which are not our ways, but those of a people who have other measures and other standards, and which, though we are not prepared to adopt, we in no wise wish to dis parage. We make no such allowance when we come to discuss Americans. We bring them all to the bar of Piccadilly, and whatever falls short of that measure wo pronounce unworthy and inadmissable. The language we used in common lent itself to this : wo come to the contest with the same weapon. If we quo ted a speecht for reprobation, we had not to dilute the i n criminate p. by translation ; we give the words of the spe_a.kosn spoke them, quite forgetting the w hile that this s r as pea_ er was addressing people essentially unlike our There is own, whose tastes and requirements were net Ours. *much eloquence in America, but there is much bombast too, and popular audiences aro not satisfied e d with oratory that would fulfil all the canons of correct taste. Now, had the speaker held forth in French o r Spanish, the mere h diff e rence of language wouldhave tempered o a our cri M ticism, and we never should have dared to object tn astro; tion or a figure because it was not what habit had aeons tQmed us to. Not so with the American. Speaking the SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

When we arrive, however, at the ascertainable f a cts of the case we are grievously disappointed. The First Lord of the Admiralty—the Minister charged with the management of our navy—has lately acknowledged that we have no sufficient re serves, and that our resources, indeed, in this respect are scarcely adequate to the ordinary reliefs due to vessels on foreign service. This disposes of what may be called the second line of our defences, but even if we look at the first line, our satisfaction will THE CHOLERA. The daily returns of births and deaths in London registered on Friday, the 10th inst., says : "It is gratifying to be able to announce that cholera is less fatal than it was in London. The daily registered average in the previous week was 150 ; while on Sunday and Monday last 249, on Tuesday 130, Wednesday 109, Thursday 114, Friday 85 deaths from cholera were recorded. The deaths from diarrhoea and other causes have all declined. The improvement in the east London districts is well marked. This is encouraging. By the assidu ous employment of judicious measures the develop ment of the pestilence may be stopped." The Mansion House Relief Committee held a meeting on Saturday in relation to the funds now be ing raised there for the relief of cholera patients and of persons suffering from the loss of heads of families by the disease—Sir Mordaunt Wells presiding. A sum amounting to nearly £5,000 had been received at the Mansion-house and at various banks in con nection with it up to Saturday evening, since Tuesday last, in public donations for these humane objects.

It consists of three tiers or floors, and would afford accommodation to at least 200 inmates. The proposal was brought under the consideration of the committee on Saturday, by Mr. E. 11.
