AMERICAN AND ENGLISH 'SYMPATHIES. It is alleged, and with truth, that the English public has been in the habit of paying too little attention to the foreign policy of its Government. True, there have been every now and then bursts of popular indignation or enthusiasm called forth by events in other lands, and denunciations or applause of the Government of the day foc the part it took in regard to them. Bat these have been rather expressions of a va g ue and transitory sentiment than of convictions based upon deliberate inquiry. The interest taken by Englishmen in foreign affairs has been intermittent, and the views enter tained respecting them variable. The events now in pro gress in the East have, however, awakened the English public to a sense that, as the individual is part of a amity, and the family part of the nation, so the nation itself is but a part of the great republic of nations. A state r above all a state zealous and successful in the cul tivation of arts and commerc e , c a n no more remain notated from the great community of states than the inan can remain isolated from relations and associates in business, or any one family from the numerous families by which it is surrounded in civil society. A nation has to cultivate the good will of other _nations, and some times to resist their encroa3hments. Every nation has an interest is exerting itself to insure the obser vance of certain principles of equity and justice in the dealings of all nations with one another. A nation of slaves may leave all these matters to its rulers ; but a free nation, which every now and then calls its rulers to account, and removes them from power when deemed unworthy of it, is bound to exer cise its jud gment as conscienti o usly and as fearlessly onits foreign relations and policy as on its domestic concerns. Now that the English .public has _been roused to the knowledge of this truth, it is of the utmost consequence that its application should nut be limited to the small space of earth called Europe. We are not of those who dream that Europe is worn out. We believe that in letters, arts, inventive industry, Europe still takes the lead of the earth. But we know that there areont of Europe greatandgrowingcommunities, among whom there are spirits as daring and energetic, and more free, than are to be found in the Old World. We see that every year the proportion borne by our commerce with the Old World to that which we carry on with the whole earth and ocean is growing less and less—that the numbers of free, intelligent, inde pendent men and communities out of Europe are OH the increase. Already the commerce of the' United States and of the civilised communities which dot Australia, the Pacific, the southern termination of Africa, and the waters of the Eastern Archipelago, is more important to Great Britain than that of the Old World; and though we are firmly convinced that under a system of free trade our commercial relations with Europe will be extended and improved, there is a much wider and more profitable field to be cultivated in other regions of the earth. The most important foreign relations of this country at the present moment are with the United. States of America. These relations are many and compli cated; for in every quarter of the globe the citizens of the United States and of Great Britain are constantly com ing into contact. There is another reason why it is desirable that a friendly understanding between this country and the United States should be sedulously cultivated. In theory one nation ought only to communicate- with another through the medium of their respective Govern ments.' But, in practice, this rule cannot be strictly observed: In all countries there are overlook ing minor shades of difference two great par ties ; the friends of free institutions and progress, and the friends of despotism, and stationary institu tions, and obstructive laws. Either party in every country naturally and necessarily sympathises with its counterpart in every other. It is not in human nature for the liberals of a free nation to abstain from sympathising with and assisting those who struggle for their own emancipation from fetters in a country subject to despotic rule. Above all others, the despotisms of Europe have no right to complain of this ; for the Holy Alliance having set the example of a combination of kings against subjects, have thereby justified leagues among subjects against despots. It is impossible to lay down any general rule as to how far Governments may and must connive at co-operation among different sec tions of their respective subjects. The circumstances of every special case must supply the law applicable to it. Still it is necessary, for the preservation of intercourse between states as corporate communities, that some limits—narrower at one time than another— should be imposed on the co-operation of the subjects or citizens of one with the subjects or citizens of another. Hence arises one great difficulty that has always beset the statesmen of Great Britain when they have been called upon to take part in the Congresses of the Great Powers of Europe. In these Councils, Great Britain has hitherto been the only free and popular Government. The balance of interests between peoples and princes would be more fairly held were some other first-rate free power to take part in them as well as Great Britain. The Republic of North America is the only other first-class State that answers this' description. When next Great Britain is invited to take part in a General Congress, it will be the duty of our Government ,to insist upon the United States being admitted to take part in their deliberations. These Councils would benefit in more ways than one by the accession of the United States to them. The emancipa tion of American statesmen from the superstitious vene ration for many old routine forms, and doctrines inap plicable to the state of modern society, wonld immensely improve our European diplomacy. We do not mean that Great Britain and the United States would invariably be found taking the same side iu the discussions of a General Congress. These two nations can no more - be invariably in the right then Austria and Russia can be invariably in the wrongs But the increased number of statesmen, bound by the neces sity of their position to assert popular principles, and the admission of a body of statesmen more free from conventianalitiee than any others, would exercise a healthy influence over the deliberations of future Gene ral Congresses. We have not far to seek for a ease in which the vice, s of the American statez:nen might at the present moment differ from those of the British. The case of Cuba will serve our purpose. We approach this question without fear, though we know it to be a delicate one. We know that not a few Americans cherish a jealousy and ill-will - towards England. And we are free to admit that they have cause. At the time of the American war of independence, and long after, most Englishmen sillily and groundlessly undervalued the Americans. That feeling has long been extinct ; but a belief that it survives has necessarily been kept up by the terms of disparagement in which many English tourists and anonymous scribblers have been in the habit of speaking of America and Americans. That great reproach of English journalism, the Times, has been perhaps the greatest offender in this way. It is to be hoped that Englishmen will be more care ful in future to let their kinsmen across the Atlantic know the light in which they regard them. We are conscious that we have nothing to reproach ourselves with on this score. But the most sincere respect and love for Americans are perfectly consistent with our frankly telling them when we think they are wrong. Americans criticise other nations freely ; they ought patiently to bear criticism in return. It is on this ground that we have always asserted our right to speak freely our sen timents on the head of negro slavery. We have an especial right to do so when the retention of that " do mestic institution " begins to influence the foreign re lations of the United States. In the North American Republic the people are the Government ; and to them, therefore, .we appeal against the policy which their present Administration is encouraging or at least con niving at in Cuba and St. Domingo. The questions of the independence of Cuba, and of its annexation to the United States, are open questions, and which do not immediately much affect our interests. But the object of those Americans who are now labouring by underhand conspiracies, or open aggression to follow out, in Cuba and St. Domingo, the policy which has proved successful in Texas, deeply affects the honour of the United States. Their object is not only to perpetuate negro slavery in the United States, but to encroach on the freedom of the negro beyond their frontier. We suspect few even of the friends of the negro in the Union have a just conception of what he may and has become where he has been ad mitted to full political rights. Even before the emancipation of the negroes in the. British West Indies, free and wealthy blacks were in the habit of sending their children to England for their education. Throughout the: British educated and wealthy coloateeiali there is a numerous population. They are members of the colonial legislatures,i and responsible offices under and hold important enterprising and successful traders ant. They are wealthy proprie tors.havanae go h n a e ve insearch of Not a few of this clam there risen fortune to Hayti and St. Domingo , to high office. These men know their worth, resolute to assert their-rights. Throughout the7n d are lles they are anxiously watching the operations of th slavery ennexatio n i s t s f rom th e St a t es, and resell.e 113. resist them at all hazards. The first avowed success to the Filibusters in Cuba, or St. Domingo would give the signal for a war of races—of a renewal of the St.Domineo war, with mere inveteracy and over a wider field. We speak not now of what the European Powers might deem it necessary to do if 'such an event occurred ; we prefer appealing to the sober and judicious in the United States —to the only true democrats, the respecters of equal rights among the races of men. Are they pre pared to incur the guilt and opprobrium of abetting a policy which must necessarily spread havoc and devas tation over the whole of the Antilles l In their hands is the power to avert such a calamity, and awful will be their responsibility if they do not exercise that power.— /May News.

THE CHARING•CROSS BRIDGE COMPANY V. MITCHELL. In this case an action was brought against the defen dant, who is a collector of the land-tax, for an illegal , distress. This action was turned into a special case by consent, in order to raise the question for the opinion of this Court whether the Charing-cross Bridge Company is liable to be assessed to the land-tax in respect of the tolls taken at the bridge on the Hungerford-market side. It appeared by the case that the Hungerford-market Company had redeemed the land-tax formerlypayable in respect of the land en which the bridge is built on the Hungerford side ; and it was therefore contended for the plaintiffs that as the land-tax had been so redeemed, the tolls raised from the bridge subsequently built on the land were not assessable to the laud-tax. For the defendant it was contended that the tolls in question did not arise out of the land, but were a separate tene ment within the words of the Land-tax Assessment Act, aid were rateable as such, and this it was contended had been decided by the Court of Exchequer in the case of the Vauxhall-bridge, where the assessment had been simply of the tolls, without any reference to the land. Mr. Bramwell, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Matthews, appeared for the plaintiffs ; Sir F. Thesiger, with whom was Mr. Needham, for the defendants. Lord Campbell said that it seemed to him that the else of the Vauxhall bridge decided the present. In that case the tolls had been held to be assessable, on the ground that a toll, per se, forms an entirely different tenement, separate from the laud ; it is a new property, created of non-Parliamentary hereditament. It is said that in the Vauxhall case the land-tax payable on the land was not redeemed, and that, therefore, that case is different from the present, but I think that , does not make any difference whatever. The assessment is in respect of the new tenement, the tolls, and not in respect of the land ; our judgment must, therefore, be for the defendant. Judgment for defendant. THE QUEEN V. W. T. CHAPLIN ESQ., CHAIRMAN OF THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY--E$ PARTE SNELL. I Sir F. Thesiger moved fir a rule calling en Mr. Chap lin, the Chairman of the South-Western Railway Com pany, to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, commanding him to ascertain and declare the state of the poll on a certain election of a director of the South- Western Railway Company, at a meeting of the com pany on the 10th of August last. It appeared by the affidavits on which the rule was moved, that for some time past a great question had arisen amongst the shareholders of the company relative to an intention on the part of the directors to increase the capital of the company, with a view to extending their line of railway. This question had been much did cussed, and much opposition raised to the scheme. One of the mist active opponents to the proposed increase was Mr. Snell, the applicant for the present rule ; and it appeared that, some time since, Sir Win. Heathcote, ono of the directors of the company, signifying his inten tion of retiring from the direction, Mr. Snell was soli cited to become a candidate for that office in his place. Mr. Snell acceeded to the request, and pro ceeded to canvass the shareholders for their votes, and accordingly issued a number of circulars to them, each of which contained a letter, which was to be returned to Mr. Snell if the shareholder intended to support him, the letter so enclosed being an authority to Mr. Snell to issue a proxy, and send to the shareholder for his signature, who was then to return it to Mr. Snell, there being a power in the company's act for the shareholders to vete by proxy. 1,345 of these letters were returned to Mr. Snell in time fer him to send the proxies and obtain theta back in time to lodge them with the secretary seven days before the day of election, as is required in order to authorise the person holding such proxy to vote for the shareholder sending it ; but it appeared that thirteen letters were sent to Mr. Snell too late for him to send the proxies for signature to the respective shareholders, whereupon he wrote to those persons, telling them that as he con ceived they had given him authority to issue a proxy for them, he had done so, and had had it signed for them by his secretary and lodged with the rest, but that he should not use them until he received their authority for doing so and recognising his act, and also that he should inform the other side what he had done. In every case he received an answer recognising his act and giving hint the authority he required. The election of the director to fill the vacancy created by Sir W. Hea,tlacote's retire . ment came on at the general half-yearly meeting on tho 10th of August last, the only other candidate being Mr. Willcox, M.P. for SouthamPton, who was supported by Mr. Chaplin, the chairman of the company. The show of hands was in favour of Mr. Snell, upon which a poll was demanded on the part of Mr. Willcox, which was fixed for tho next day, the 11th. Mr. Snail gave notice that he should vote on his proxies on that day, but first wrote to Mr. Willcox, stating that he should make his declaration of having duly lodged his proxies Anil intention to vote on all but the thirteen, as to which there night be some doubt of whether he had the strict right to vote, and he therefore stated the cir cumstances in respect of them, saying he did not intend to vote on them unless the scrutineers held them to be admissible. Mr. Snell did not receive any answer to this letter on the 11th, so he told the scrutineers he should not use them, and accordingly withdrew them. On the 12th Mr. Snell r eceived a letter from Mr. 'Will cox, saying that he had been in the country, and so did not get his letter in time to answer it by the 11th, or he should have been most happy to meet his wishes in any way in respect to the proxies. The result of the poll on the 11th was to place Mr. Snell in a majority of 651 votee and 3,979 proxies over Mr. Willcox. The scrutineers gave in a statement to the adjourned meet ing to the effect that Mr. Such had stated that he had authority to use some proxies which were not strictly signed in tima, and that they could not say which were tainted proxies and which were not, and that they be lieved there were others tainted beyond the thirteen re ferred to by him. Upon this an inquiry was appointed to be held before the scrutineers into the validity of the votes, and counsel attended on both sides. This meet ing was held on the 29th of September, when Mr. Will cox's counsel took objections to 462 of Mr. Snell's proxies. The effect of striking these off would only have been to reduce Mr. Snell's majority on the proxies to 3,652. Therefore, to save time, Mr. Snell proposed to the scrutineers to give up these voteQ, upon which Mr. Willcox's counsel withdrew from further prosecuting the inquiry. The meeting was then adjourned to the 3d of October, when nothing was required to be done but to declare the state of the poll and the election of Mr. Snell, for by no means could his majority be re duced so as to place Mr. Willcox a-head. Oa the 3d of October, however, the chairman declined to do this, but again adjourned the meeting, and on the 16th he wrote to Mr. Snell, asking him if he intended doing anything to relieve his mind from the state of doubt it was in from the points which had been raised as to the validity of some of his votes. Mr. Snell replied to this letter, stating that he had nothing further to do in the matter but to call on Mr. Chaplin, as chairman of the com pany to declare the state of the poll. Upon this Mr. Chaplin again wrote to him, stating that, as he had de clined giving him any further explanation, he should decline to declare the state of the poll. On the 17th of November another meeting was held, when a great discussion took place as to the competency of Mr. Snell to fill the office of director, as it was alleged he had acted improperly in regard to the 13 proxies. In reply to this it was contended that Mr. Snell had done everything openly, and that, if there had been any mis take in the matter, there was no impropriety of conduct; and, further, that he was quite ready to leave his con duct in the hands of Lord Chandos, or any other unin fluenced person, and abide by whatever decision he should come to. Lord Chandos was accordingly ap plied to, to give his opinion on the matter, but he de clisted to interfere. Two subsequent meetings were hold en the 14th and 15th of December last, on both which applications were made to Mr. Chaplin, as chairman of the company, to declare the poll ; this, however, he refused to do, although he was informed that, if he re fused, legal proceedings would be taken to compel him to do so. Lord Campbell—How is the obligation to declare the state of the poll cast on Mr. Chaplin ! Sir F. Thesiger—Under the 94th section of the com pany's act. Lord Campbell—You have stated sufficient to entitle you to a rule.—Rule nisi granted. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, IN RE BOLENO.

The laundress had confessed her guilt, and had delis .erect up the pawnbroker's duplicates to her employers but for s ome reason sot explained to the court, sb,,"l old newer been prosecuted ; and this was the "cause" as ;signed by Mr. Tomlinson for retaining the propert' The c (117 alplainatit contended that both under the Po.

ItiNti. lice Act and the Pawnbrokers Act power was given to the magistrate to make an order for the unconditional restoration of the goods, and Mr. Weed quoted several cases from the law reports to show that this view of the matter had been confirmed by the judges. He also drew attention to those clauses which made it the impe rative duty of pawnbrokers to make certain inquiries on taking in property, and which, he contended, were not complied with in the present case ; in consequence of which he was further liable to the penalties imposed by the act, although that object was not aimed at in the present summons. James Warden, clerk to Mr. Wood, proved that be was sent to the defendant's to inquire about the article in question, during the Christmas week, and Mr. Tom bacon-told him that the laundress (Wilkins) had pledged a great many things in the names of the gentlemen who employed her, stating that she had been sent by them, only they did not wish the things to be left in their own names. He said he would give her into custody if she came again, but declined to give up the property unless steps were taken to convict her ; although he was will ing, if that course was not pursued, to share the loss with the gentlemen who claimed it. Mr. Tomlinson admitted that he had said so, and still adhered to his defence. Mr. Jardiae said there could be no question about the law of the case. Ile had an undoubted right to order the pawnbroker to deliver up the property, but it was another question whether he should feel justified in doing so, until at least an attempt was made to prose cute the woman who had stolen the goofiL=. She was not out of the way--then why was she not given into cum tidy ? It was a matter of public policy that the thief, in such cases, should not be allowed to escape ; or, what would be the consequence In the present instance, of course, there was no collusion, but among a certain class of people there would be repeated attempts to de fraud the pawnbroker. Nothing could be easier than for Ann Thompson to agree with Mary Johnson to go and pawn her gown and then keep out of the way until her friend Johnson had got the magistrate to order the pawnbroker to give it up, the profits of the transaction being divided between them. If Mr. Wood thought proper to prosecute the laundress, then the pawn broker would be compelled to give up the property, without receiving a penny of his money back again. Mr. Wood said he would prosecute if the magistrate ordered him to do so ; but he submitted that it was the pawnbroker's place to prosecute. H. would ask his worship to consider the nature of the property pledged, which included shirts having his name fully marked upon them. Surely they ought to have excited sus picion._ Mr. Tomlinson assured the court that it was the con stant practice of gentlemen living in chambers in the inns of court to send their laundresses with articles to pledge, directing the latter to leave therm in their own names ' • and he had known repeated cases in which gen tlemen had come themselves, and pawned articles in the names of their clerks or laundresses. Mr. Jardine was rather surprised to hear this, he would confess, although he might have supposed that laundresses frequently made such representations. Ho advised a warrant to issue against the woman. Eventually this course was agreed to, and then Mr. Tomlinson ♦oluntarily delivered up all the goods except one shirt, which was retained for prosecution. A gentleman present complained that his laundress had pawned all his library at the same place, but the circumstances were not mentioned. Two well-dressed young foreigners, who gave the names of Louis Parotti and Grossi Vincent, were brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with begging, and disorderly conduct, at the residence of the Rev. J. T. Brunow, Catholic priest, of Lincoln's-inn-fields. The reverend complainant stated that the defendants called at his residence between twelve and one o'clock that day, and requested to see him. He was not disengaged at the time, and they were requested to wait in the hall. After a short time they began THE LONDO7 G4ZETTE OF LAST NIGHT. - WHITEHALL, JAN. 17.

Witness, knowing that they had not been kept waiting a quarter of that time, regarded them as improper persons to relieve, and de sired them to quit the house. They refused to go, and he then sent for a policeman, at the same time advising them to leave. They then began to abuse him in strong language, and also the Catholic religion, and he was ultimately compelled to give them into custody.

Dorset Regiment of Militia-Ashton Warner, Gent., LAMBETH.—A man dressed in the garb of a me chanic, who refused to give his name, was charged with coining, and having in his possession a 9 . stantity of coin ing implements. liergeant Quinnear deposed that, on the preceding evening, he, accompanied by police-constable Btephen Booth, proceeded to the house, No. 7, Surrey-buildings, East-lane, Walworth, and in endeavouring to effect an entrance by the back-door he made a slight noise, upon which the prisoner opened it, and he (Quinnear) at once secured him. On searching the place they found a vast quantity of things such as are used in the manufacture of base coin, and from information which has ruched me I have no doubt whatever the prisoner is one of the most in , enioa.l and successful manufac' urers of base coins in t 'Engliid, and that he makes as much as 41. and W. a week by selling the manufactured coin to thu passers or "smashers." Quinnear here produced t't.a articles found, consisting of bell metal, copper, black tin, 23 files of various sizes, an electrotype machine, shears, plaster of Paris, &c. The prisoner, when I took him into custody (added the witness), said, " I wonder a fly (clever) man like you should take so much trouble for nothing" (meaning that the mere possession of such articles, no coia being discovered, would not affect him). Prisoner—Officer, why didn't you fetch the candle sticks here ? Quinnear—Because I did not think it necessary. Mr. Norton—Nor was it. I think the officer has brought quite enough against you. What are you! Prisoner—l have stated on the sheet what I am. I'm a tinker and general jobber. Mr. Norton--Then what business can a tinker have with plaster of Paris! Prisoner—Well, I sometimes get an odd job of jewel lery to mend, and it's very handy to keep the metal from spreading—(laughter)—and as for supposing the things found in my possession were intended as materials for coining it is quite ridiculous. I dare say I could go to your worship's house at this moment and find the same sort of materials there. I should find on the roof some lead or zinc ; I should find some Britannia metal spoons, and also a flower pot, which would be found sufficiently porous to answer all the purposes of electrotyping. I should also, in all probability, find a box of carpenter's tools, as gentlemen are in the habit of keeping a fancy box of tools, and I should not wonder if I found an old file or two. (Renewed laughter.) Mr. Nortoa here referred to the act of Parliament, and found that the articles, the possession of which con stituted the offence, were not found in the prisoner's case, except " edging tools," and the files he should take to constitute them. The prisoner said files were used for different purposes, and therefore his Worship should not arrive at the con clusion that those found in his possession were used for coining. Quinnear, the officer, he said, was perfectly correct in his opinion of the law, that there was not in law any charge against him, aid he therefore called for his liberation. BANKRUPTCY ANNULLED. Abraham Coronet, cigar manufacturer, Great Alie-stroe Goodman'a-fields. BANKRUPTS. Mr. Norton remarked that if the law was not suffi cient to punish a person of his character, there was not the slightest security for the public. The law as re garded the whole case of coining and passing base coin was in a most disgraceful state. He should remand the prisoner for the attendance of the officers of the Mint.

Consols. It appears she had .been in the re ceipt of out-door relief for the last ten years, when, by the sagacity and intelligence of Mr. Turner, the reliev ing officer, it was discovered that she possessed this large sum of money in the funds. Steps were immedi ately takes against her for the imposition she had been practising on the parochial authorities, the result of which has been that they have compelled her to refund the whole of the money she has had from them during that period, being nearly the whole amount of the sum invested.

APPREHENSION OF A MURDEREIL—Alexander other wise " Collier" Stewart, who murdered J o h n Welsh at the Kelvinside iron-stone pit, Jean's-bridge, near Mary hill, on Sunday, the 26th of November last, after being at large for six weeks, was apprehended on Tuesday evening at Barrhead. He had mine to that neighbour hood several weeks 'since, and had been working in the Bo; bole colliery under the assumed name of William Kelso, hut he was reenoadsed by some workmen, and his identity being eitabli.slied, the procurator-fiscal corn• witted him for trial. [ADVERTISEIII; "'' ' Pills an extraordi nary remedy for Debility.--Mr. Joh❑ Collins, of Airdrie, states in a letter to l'rOfessor Holloway that, having derived such immense benefit from the use of his pills, he has great pleasure in bearing testimony to their wonder ful properties. For a long time he was afflicted with nervous debility, loss of appetite, and suffered a'se from a disordered liver ; his complexion became sallow, and his frame so emaciated that there appeared little hopes of his recovery, and after trying other medicines in vain, he is proud to acknowledge that he is solely indebted to Holloway's pills for the radical cure effected in him.— Sold by all vendors of medicine, and at Professor Hol loway's establishments, 244, Strand, London, and 80, Maiden-lane,lNew York, SCOTCH SEQUESTRATIONS.
