Sun Office, 112, Strand. ta ) cs./ , kZ a ty t a t ./ ; A _ ••• ), , , v L9NDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1856, It ia currently reported that the temporary differences that existed between the French and English Governments have been nearly , if no t altogether, removed , and that t he alliance between the Western Powers once more rests on a sub stantial basis, with but little prospect of its being destroyed, or even materially weakened, w e gladly hail this auspicious re sult. "W e fully al ,. predate the vast advantages attained, by a sincere and cordial friendship between the Peoples of France and England. So long as they are firmly united, the traditional policy of Russia must re main in abeyance. That union offers the best and most efficient guarantee for the peace and tranquillity of Europe—of the World. While it exists, an aggressive policy on the part of any other Power, or Powers, must be worse than use less. Few will venture to run counter to the clearly expressed wishes of the Allied Nations, who have so clearly and unequivocally proved their strength under the most arduous and trying cir cumstances. It would indeed be deplorable if the gallant soldiers who participated in the glorious and sanguinary proceedings in the Crimea—who, side by side, breasted the blood-stained heights of the Alma, resisted the Russian onslaught at Inker man, and Eventually overthrew the frowning fortress of Sebastopol—should, through any party jealousy or trifling disagreement, direct deadly weapons against their quondam " brothers in arms," or that the duplicity and treachery of others should induce , those who, no longer " natural enemies," should be faithful and firm friend; through good report and through evil report, for better or worse, to enter into an internecine conflict. That alliance will promote the common welfare and prosperity of both nations, and themore closely it is cemented the better for themselves, and for all the second-rate States, whose security will greatly depend on the knowledge that there are doughty champions ready to come forward at any moment to resent any infraction of the principles of truth and jus tice committed against even the weakest members of the general comity of nations. This felicitous event is partly attributable to the return of the EMPEROR to Paris, and his own personal supervision of the events which have taken place during his absence from the metro polis. The bold and manly declarations of Lord PALMERSTON during his provincial tour have also exercised considerable influence in producing the fortunate solution of the trifling difficulties that had arisen. The EMPEROR thoroughly understands the English character. He knows that they are faithful friends, who never flinch from the loyal performance of every obligation ; but he is equally well aware of the steadfast determination with which they resist every unfair and inequitable demand. With this knowledge he would eschew Lily undue attempts to assail the most highly prized institution of the United Kingdom, or to fritter away by specious sophistry the too lenient terms imposed on the Power which even within the present year was our common enemy. These attempts might have had temporary success dur ing his absence, but matters would certainly be replaced on .a more satisfactory basis on his resumption of the control and direction of the political affairs of the Empire. The firm but temperate expression of the feel ing of the English Government must also have helped this salutary decision on the part of the EMPEROR. The unhesitating announcement by the English Premier, that " the duration of the Peace must depend on the honour and fidelity with which its conditions are observed," greatly contributed to a rightjudgment, and to the promp titude of the arrangement of minor contro versies. It is another illustration of the truth of the political axiom, that a manly and straightforward policy is always best calculated to insure peace, or, as a Hibernian legislator de clared, with greater truth of sentiment than felicity of diction, that " the best way to .avoid danger was to meet it full in the face r Such an alliance as that between France and England can only be maintained by mutual for bearance and mutual yielding. They must be placed on terms of perfect equality. One is not to be leader and the other follower, but each must slightly modify its own views so as to obtain the concurrence of the other. This, of course, relates only to pending questions. Where there has been a treaty or agreement so clear that " he who runs may read," it is only necessary that it should be carried out in good faith and integrity, according to the obvious interpretation of its con ditions and stipulations. No division could exist on such a subject, where an equitable decision on the point at issue would alone be required. We congratulate the peoples of both nations on the present auspicious aspect of affairs. France and England united may defy the anger of " the world in arms," and therefore their permanent union is the best guarantee for its continued peace and tranquillity. • Although the Ministers of France and England have been withdrawn from the Two Sicilies, and , we are now unrepresented at the Court of Naple?,, the Neapolitan Ministers still remain in Loiacto il and Paris, and have not thought proper tr, demand their passports. It is said that an intimation has been conveyed that " their preseere is felt by the French and English Cabiwzia to be no longer advisable, and that consequently passports are very much at their service." But surely this gentle hint is by no means suited to the emergency. When we felt that our own dignity no longer permitted the continuance of diplomatic relations with King BOMBA. the separation should have been clear and unequivocal. No represen tative of the Sovereign who slighted our advice and answered our legitimate remonstrances with contumely should be permit red to remain a single hour as an accredited agent at our Courts. The withdrawal of our Ministers from the Neapolitan Court should have been immediately followed by the delivers of passports to Prince CARINI and the Marquis ANTONINI. We should, of course, display every courtesy to these gentlemen, but it "ould only be in their individual, not in their political capacities. It shoilid have been t'nown that the rupture was indeed complete ; and that no pro spect existed of its beir4; patched up unless by the unqualified submission of King FERDINAND to the advice so strenuously and indefatigably pressed upon him by France and England. If, by a deteminatiou " to do what he will with his own," asi,y n, h e ec l hoor - ses to endanger the peace of Europe, and to kindle a firebrand whi c h cannot be extinguished, we should lend no en :unt - enance to the insane and reckless act. It is merely for our own security that we have int ' Ale red, and when the propriety and expedi n"ontchWea course akenits have eth.cacy been admitted, we (as'hiocYtildif e i o t r h in t t h i e m / a i t e io a n poli , t n A n :zove by any temperis ib assadr. Of referred tob c e °l3l n .s o a t the G overnment w i ll well k p n ro o ln w pt w ly hat ac c t o ed nursoeto adopt. But still we think it would have been moree regarded a i s f the passports had been sent i s t h e first instance, so that the departure might b pro ceeding from the Allied Government;,those aoni not o partially adopted at the free will of could be no longer receivable at the Court of St. James's or of the Tuileries. Now that we are in the midst of November's fogs light begins to dawn on the Metropolitan Drainage question. We will not interpret th e fact as a new phase of the same perverse obstina c y which muddled the question in the dog days. We have haver been unjust towards the Board, and will not now —,''e are content with notioiu it. The Board has at last had an access of lson, and this is due to the admonitions of the independent press, the manly and straight forward conduct of the Chief Commissioner of Works, and the conciliatory and very sensible address of Mr. THWAITES. We had all but despaired of the Board of late, our feeling towards it when most hopeful resembling that of BURNS for auld Nickie-ben, a celebrity with whom its quarrelsome members arc possibly acquainted, if not on visiting terms : "Oh ! wad ye tak a thought and men', Ye aiblins might, I dinna ken, Still ha'e a stake." Now our feeling with regard to it is still more hopeful. Sir BENJAMIN HALL, whose conduct through out is deserving of the highest praise, being worthy of his high position as at once a member of the Government and the tried representative of a metropolitan constituency, has, it will be seen, rejected, as we predicted, the plan for the sewerage submitted to him for his approval his rejection, to speak more truly, by the Board. We take no credit for this pre diction ; it was impossible he could do otherwise than reject it, and the Board knew this to be the case. The Right Hon. Baronet is in the habit of doing what the Board has not—viz., his duty, and it was not likely he was now going to break through the bounds in which he was circum scribed, as the Board knew, by an Act of Parlia ment. His duty was, and is, to see that the sewage is not discharged within a certain distance of the Metropolitan boundaries. The plan sub mitted to him proposed an outlet for the sewage notoriously within those boundaries, as settled by the Act to which the Board owes its existence. There was no alternative left him—consequently he has rejected it—but in such a spirit has this been done as to nonplus, if not to conciliate, his hitherto unconscionably stupid detractors. Burying in oblivion the remembrance of the ill-usage he has experienced, he, in the most conciliatory manner, offers to meet a deputation of the Metropolitan Board in a friendly and business-like manner, and discuss with it the various points to be considered in the construction of a plan which shall be in accord ance with the provisions of the Act of Parliament. Nothing could be more manly and straightforward. In a like spirit we are happy to state he has been met by Mr. THWAJTES, the Chairman of the Board, to whose admirable speech we beg to draw the attention of our readers. It will be read with great interest, as showing, among other things, what can be done to facilitate the general business of the Board, instead of the members wasting time in fighting among themselves. Addressing himself to the pugnacious majority, he does his best to smooth his rufied equanimity and dis pose it to listen to reason; and his reward is, by unanimous consent it is determined that the olive branch held out by the Chief Commissioner shall not be contumeliously rejected, but that the friendly parley he proposes shall take place. So far well. Let the metropolitan public hope for the best. The Board has surely had its full :wing, and under all the circumstances may fairly be expected to listen to reason—at all events on the great sewerage question. Prior to the reception of the communication from Sir BENJAMIN Ham, the opening of South wark and Waterloo Bridges engaged the attention of the Board. Of course there was a good deal of loquacity in dealing with the subject, involving almost equally, of course, some glibly-spoken non sense. No reasonable being the reader would fancy could take exception to the Report of the Committee on the subject, its chief characteristic being common sense. That, however, was doubt less the reason why exception was taken to the motion founded upon it' by a few of the members. " The bridge (Southwark is referred to)—came from no place and leads to no place"— cries one, a rather remarkable character to give a bridge. " I cannot easily conceive any benefit accruing to my district from the opening of Southwark Bridge," cries a second—"My district is situate at a considerable distance from, the bridge, and I must protest against any proposi tion by which its inhabitants would he taxed for an improvement advantageous only to the City and Southwark." The district represented by the " honourable member" is Ilethnal-green, not famous for its wealth, 1ar,..6 it is to be hoped pos sessed of sufficient. ',good sense to be ashamed of its represe n t a ti ;e. Wh y, on suc h a narrow and ridiculou s around he might object to nearly all tax'Ati' u whatever. The Thames, we suppose, L'atst be made to disobey the laws of gravitation, and run by his door in Bethnal-green, before he would feel justified in contributing to a highway thrown across it. Did ho never hear of bridges known as county bridges —structures for the general convenience, and paid for by county taxa tion ? Is he really of opinion that the bridges across the Thames are mere structures for the convenience of people in the neighbourhood, and that it is not of the last importance to the welfare of the entire metropolis to have suitable ap proaches fer the traffic of which it is the centre ? We find it hard to believe stich a Solomon is to be met with at the present day. An other remark, and we are done. How far the decision respcting the plan of the new street is final we kliow not, but we deem it *very desirable that 0- 4 0 street should come nearer tie railway terminus, and out at Vine street Into the York rrJad on to the new bridge. A hundred yards of needless distance is mo:e than enough to lose a passenger a train, irrespective of increased hin drance to traffiq arrangements. THE SUN. L9N,DON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOV.EMBkIIt 13, 1856 THE CHIEF JUSTICESHIP OF THE COMMON PLEAS. The Chief Justiceship of the Common Pleas is at length settled. The Attorney-General takes the seat on the bench, with a peerage either immediate or prospective. The Solicitor-General, of course, becomes, by this promotion, Attorney-General. The Solicitor-Generalship has, we believe, been offered to the Recorder of London, Mr. Stuart Wortley. If he declines this offer, which was due to his professional position and to his House of Commons standing, Mr. Sergeant Shee will, it is understood, be the Solicitor-General. Vacancies for Aylesbury and for the county of Kilkenny would thus be made, but no opposition could suc cessfully be offered to the return of either Sir R. Bethel! or Mr. Sergeant Shea. For Southampton it was expected that Captain Mangles would have come forward, but he declines. The seat is safe for a good Liberal, and the electors of Southamp ton care quite alive to secure his return. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, Nov, 12.

Jones and Gillards, outfitters and hosiers, No. 90, Cannon street West. From the manner in which it was accom plished there is little doubt that it must have been committed by members of a practised gang. The entrance of the thieves was effected by picking the lock of the warehouse, where they at once commenced pack ing up the most valuable articles, and, helping themselves to the cash, took their departure at seven o'clock in the morning with their bundles. Information was also given yesterday morning that the premises of Mr. Lawney, boot said shoe maker, College-hill, Thames-street, a few :reeds from Messrs. ones, had also been broken open, and the entire stock carried away. KNEELING AT PRATERS.—On Sunday afternoon the minister of a west.end Established church in Glasgow intimated from the pulpit that, in compliance with the expressed wishes of a number of his congregation, although not committing himself to it, he would intrc duce a new system of church service. It was thought that kneeling was the natural and proper way of con ducting devotional exercise ; and, looking to the con etruetion of the pews, it was thought that in that church kneeling was peculiarly required. He would therefore allow all who felt so inclined to kneel at prayers ; and, on the other hand, to stand during the psalmody. During the singing, accordingly, the whole congregation stood, and during the prayer they all knelt, with the exception of 10 or 12. This may be a very simple and innocent innovation in the accustomed mode of conduct ing public worship, but ; we suspect the kneeling will not generally go down."

AtT l 3..ttiert Goen.--A. blue book has been issued, con t ;eening papers relative to the discovery of gold in 'eustralia. These show that in the quaker ended on the 31st of December, 1855, the gold exported from New South Wales amounted to 3,013 oz.

The gold exported from this colony in 1855 amounted to 64,384 oz., value 209,2501., and in the five years from 1851 to 1855 the quantity exported was 1,813,221 oz., value 5,892 9131. The _quantity of gold exported from Victoria in the quarter er.ded the 31st of December, 1855, amounted to 760,910 oz., value 3,038,6361., and the estimated net quantity and value of gold exported from the colonies of Victoria and New South Wales from the 29th of May, 1851, to the 30th of September, 1855, amounted respectively to 1 0,434,744 oz., and 37,947,222/. Of the 760,910 oz. exported from Victoria in the last quarter of 1855, 528,637 oz. were shipped for England. The estimated population on the various goldfields of Victoria, on the 25th of August, 1855, amounted to 150,905 souls, including 100,220 men, 22,843 women, and 27,842 children. Of these 22,471 were Chinese. The late governor of the colony, Sir C. Hotham, wrote a despatch to the Celouial-office on the 21st of November, 1855, in which he gave a very favourable report of the result of the measures by him recently adopted in con nection with the management of the goldfields, but inti mated that the great question of the right of gold on purchased land was yet to be solved, and that the solution must be left to the people themselves, now invested, by the new constitution, with the right of self-government. The GOLD FIELDS OF NEW SOUTH WALES.—The New South Wales Parliament was to reassemble on the sth ; but even this event, which had been looked forward to with some interest, was completely cast into the shade by tho reported discovery of new gold fields of an unpre. nedented richness. As may be supposed, this iutel• ligence has occasioned the greatest joy throughout the colony, for the success of its younger rival Vic toria, in this respect, has been the source of much discomfort, and the inhabitants of New South Wales are congratulating themselves upon being new enabled to maintain their ancient prestige as the metropolis of Australia. Already several thousands bad flocked to the new diggings, and it has been confidently reported ' that many miners are leaving the gold fields of Victoria for these districts, tempted, no doubt, by the extraor dinary success of several parties who are said to have collected such quantities as 810 nz'. and 160 ozs. in a single afternoon. There can hardly b a doubt of the truth of these statements, although it is contended by the Melbourne papers that they are greatly exageerated. Several thousand persons have been for some time located at the districts in question, and their accounts are singularly unanimous, whilst the yield is evidently such as to warrant the sanguine expectations entertained that these gold fields are the richest which have as yet been discovered in any part of the world. As our advices are through Melbourne, we have as yet no com mercial reports from this colony, but this fact itself is a proof that matters are proceeding most satisfactorily.— Australian and New Zealand Gazette. THE NEW YORK FORGERIES.—The Huntington for geries in New York are assuming a magnitude little dreamed of ; the discoveries already reach 500,000 dole., with more to be disclosed. The latest are Waldo, Barry and Co., 29,432 dole. ; Swords, Walton, and Co , 19,736 dole. ; Claflin, Mellen and Co., 55,780 dole. ; Booth and Tuttle, 15,443 dole. • Hope, Graydon and Co., 41,138 dole. ; Arnold, Constable and Co., 33,717 dole. ; Bliss, Briggs and Douglass, 19,107 dole. ; Graydon, Swanwick and Co., 15,000 dole. ; T. Beck and Co., 15,882 dole. ; Ward, Bancock, and Briggs, 4,696 dole. ; in all, for one day's disclosures, 249,570 dole. It is evident that these forgeries are the climax of a system having had a email beginning, and which has extended over some years. The first were probably committed to obtain funds for speculations, with the intention of meeting each false obligation at maturity. Had the success of these speculations been as great as the facilities for raising money on this bogus pap 'r it would have been tre tired, and, as in hund re d s o f p rev ious instances, the world would have been no wiser. But the forger was a bad fin ancier, and his enormous losses required a constant en largement of his fr au d s , nn ttl th e y attained a magnitude e which rendered discovery unavoidable. • The length of time which these forgeries continued, and the ease h with which they w ere p er p e trated show clear l y enou g h that there was so met hi ng ra di ca lly wrong in the s y stem of bill discounting, and that legislative means are re quired to guard a ga i ns t th e i r recurrence. The question also arises, is New Y or k the only city in which such in things are none, mad i s H un ti n gton the onlyspecui at or false paper ? Our belief, founded on something strouger than assumption is that such things have been done in our midst, that they are yet done and m a y recur any day ; and that dealers in unbankable paper not only discount notes which they know to be forgeries, but ean in direct encouragem en t t o frauds which enable them to hold a sword ov er th e h ea d of the perpetrator, and to fetter him to their service by the knowledge of his crime and the terror of exposure.—Montreal Advertiser, LATEST N E WS. PARIS, THURSDAY, Nov. 13, 8 A.M. The Moniteur announces that General Kisseleff, at a public audience, to deliver his credentials as Russian Ambassador, spoke as follows : I shall esteem myself fortunate if, at the ead of my career, I can contribute to cement between France and Russia that union which assures the general peace by one of the most durable of guarantees." The Emperor replied : " Monsieur le Comte,—As soon as the Treaty of Peace was signed it became my constant care, without weakening my ancient alliances, to modify by kind acts (adoucir par de bons procedes) all that which the strict execution of certain condi tions might make severe. I learnt with pleasure that my Ambassador at St. Petersburg, animated by these sentiments, had succeeded in winning the goodwill of the Emperor Alexander. The same welcome awaits you here, you may rest assured, because, independently of your own per• •oval merits, you represent a Sovereign who so nobly knows how to impose silence on sad remi t niscences, which war too often leaves behind, to think only of the advantages of a sincere peace by entertaining friendly relations." It is reported on the Paris Bourse that the reason the Russian funds are rising is that the Credit Mobilier has to invest a large sum in Russian Securities as security for its railway oon. iract. The Austrian Government has taken an impor tant step in furtherance of the German Monetary Union. After the Ist January next, foreign gold and silver coin will not be received at the public departments, whilst the pieces of the Union will be taken at their legal value. The Bavarian Government has issued a notice to its officials not to permit the disbanded sol- diers of the British German or Swiss Legion to enter the territory, and to arrest all Bavarian subjects who may have enlisted in it. A letter from Heidelberg, of the 6th, in the German Journal of Frankfort, says :—" It is p)sitively stated that the Cabinet of St. Peters burg has come to a decision relative to the suc cession to the throne of Greece. It will be Prince Ypsilanti, the only scion now living of that illus trious family, who will be called to the throne of Greece after the death or abdication of King Otho. According to its advices received by the Augs , burg Gazette, from Rome, it is positively known there that the Neapolitan Minister of Justice is drawing up a new list of the persons who are to be amnestied. The Pope is employing all his personal influence en King Ferdinand 11., and hopes to be able to persuade him to put an end to his misunderstanding with the Western Powers "by a judicious compliance with their wishes." His Holiness has made a strong appeal to the religious feelings of the King, and it is generally believed at Rome that there will very aeon be an honourable compromise between Naples and the Western Powers. THE INDIAN MAIL. We have been favoured with the following despatch from the Peninsular and Oriental Com- pany:— " THURSDAY MORNING, "The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navi gation Company's steam-ship Vectis, W. H. Roberts, Master, with the Indian mails, from Alexandria, arrived at Marseilles at 6.30 a.m. this day. " The mails were to leave for London at 10 a.m." and provisions to the British expedition to the Persian Gulf. " The number of persons killed during the earth quake at Candio. was 1,970 —that is, 1,400 Turks and 570 Christians. The loss of property is estimated at 250,000,000 of piastres." FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY. General Kisseleff, the Russian Ambassador, presented to-day his letters of credence to the Emperor at the Palace of the Tuileries. A telegraphic despatch from Berne, dated this day (Nov. 12), announces that General Dufour, intrusted by the Federal Council with a mission to the Emperor Napoleon, had left the previous night for Paris. TURKEY. We have received the Constantinople journals and letters to the 30th, brought by the Sinai. At that date nothing positive had been decided ou re lative to the change of Ministry, that event not having taken place for two days after. The Ist was fixed upon for the Sultan to receive the Order of the Garter, but his Majesty had not agreed to the usual details of the ceremonial. Accord'ng to the established rule, the Sultan should lay aside his sabre and his decorations to receive the Eng lish insignia, but that he refused to do, and it was at last decided that the same ceremonial should be observed as when ho received the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour. All the diplomatic corps had been invited to the ceremony, which was to take place with great eclat. The affair of the Principalities had come regularly on the Lapis. In consequence of the Porte having addressed to the different embassies the draft of the firman for the convocation of the divans, a conference was held on the subject. The meeting took place at the country house of Foad Pacha at Canlidja, on the Bosphorus. There were present Aali Pacha, Foad Pacha, M. Thouvenel, Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, M. Rodrigo Doria, M. de Prokesch, and M. de Boutenieff, representing the Powers which, with the Porte, signed the treaty of Paris. The sitting was long, and, it. is said, very animated, but nothing had transpired relative to the result of the confer ence. Great coolness was said to prevail be tween M. Thouvenel and M. do Prokesch, in con sequence of the prolonged occupation of the princi palities, the affair of Captain Magnan, &e. The last accounts from the principalities are not satis factory. A change was spoken of for the caimacan of Moldavia, M. Balch having compromised him self by a misplaced zeal. The ca.imacan of Walla chia also had shown great indecision, by which he had lost the confidence of the country. The latter is, it is said, to be replaced by Prince Ghika of Samos. Mr. Horsley and Mr. Robinson, two English engineers who had come to Constantinople to undertake the organisation of the line of electric telegraph between the Mediterranean and the Per sian guff, had both died within a week at Pera. M. Mussali, their secretary, had returned to England. BOLGRAD AND THE BE.SSARABIAN FRONTIER. The Monitenr de la Flotte contains the following details relative to Bolgrad, lately and at present the subject of so much discussion : "The origin of Bolgrad is of very old date. It was built in 1470 by Draken], Prince of Wallachia, who con quered Bessarabia, and afterwards ceded it to Mahomet 11. It was for several years the place of residence of the governor of the province ; hut about 1550 it was abandoned, and has since gradually gone to ruin. By the treaty of Bucharest, signed in 1812, between the Porte and Russia, the latter came into possession of Bessarabia, the frontiers of which were carried hack to the Froth. Bessarabia at that period comprised five districts—Ben der, the Boudjak, Akermann, Jinja, and Ismail. Bolgrad was dependent on the district of Kilia, but was con sidered of such little importance that its name is not mentioned in any of the treaties of that period. Its name has only once appeared in history since the 16th century, and for a fact which historians appeared to he ignorant of. After the battle of Pultawa, Charles 111. having retired on that part of the Ottoman territory, Bolgrad was fixed on as his place of residence, Ile did not, however, go there, and it was not at Bender, as is generally believed, that he took up his retreat, but at Warnitz, a town situated at a short distance from Bol grad. The population of Bolgrad is only about from 300 to 400 persons. Although placed at the bottom of a not very deep lake, and of which the navigation is dila cult, it is considered as one of the ports of the Danube. It carries on a steady trade in wheat, barley, rye, and cattle. Formerly this trade was effected by water but now, in consequence of the difficulty of the navigation, it is carried on by land to the other ports of the Danube. In very productive years the inhabitants do not take the trouble to reap all their corn, but turn their oattle into the fields to feed on it, and whole droves of buffaloes may at times be seen in noble fields of corr, e so luxuri. us a growth as to have the appearance of the sugar cane grounds in the Antilles. The only public monument which now exists at Boigrad is a hand• some mosque, built in the time of Bajazet, and whicl has been converted into a Greek church." PRUSSIA IN-E-NEUCHATEL. The resolutions adopted by the Germanic Diet in reference to the Neuchatel affair were couched in the following terms : "1. ro adhere to the principles expressed in the Protocol of London of the 24th May, 1852, regu- lating the position of the Princiiality of Neu ohatel. " 2. To request the German Governments hav ing diplomatic agents accredited to the Helvetic Confederation, to support, in the name cf the en tire Germanic Confederation, the setting at liberty, as demanded by the Prussian Government, of the Neuchatelese arrested in September, urging the considerations enounced in the report of the Com mittee, and upho ding to the Swiss Government, with all possible emphasis, the steps that may be taken for that purpose by the government of Prussia." These resolutions are to be immediately commu nicated officially to the Swiss Federal Government by the German representatives accredited to Berne. they are based on monarchical forms, from which they derive their power, and promise the happiest future. I am proud, Sire, to be chosen to exercise so important a function at the Imperial Court of Brazil. I will strive to do so with zeal and loyalty, and I hope that while I shall be•fullilling my duties, I may at the same time gain the confidence and merit the approbation of your Imperial Majesty. His Majesty the Emperor was pleased to answer : I am very sensible of this fresh proof of friendship from my very dear sietar the Queen of Great Britain ; and I hope, Mr. Itlitt2r, that the manner in which you will fulfill your mission may contribu to to strengthen still more the ties which happily unite our two coun tries. LITERATURE. Deverell. A Novel. 3 vols. Chapman and Hall. This novel possesses the merit of novelty, as its . plot is complicated and unusual. It is written in the form of an autobiography, which has lately become so popular among novel writers. The story is extremely improbable, but it will not be the less attractive to many on that account. The chief point in the story is the imprudent marriage of the heroine at an early age. This takes place in the first volume, and when this is the case the expe rienced novel reader is prepared for serious mis adventures before the conclusion. Aline Dela mere, the heroine, lives under the care of a great aunt, her father being in India. At school she makes the acquaintance of Isabella St. George Deverell, who becomes the evil genius of her future life. This young lady, for reasons not stated, is always called by her second name of St. George, which is not very appropriate for a lady. When about sixteen, she goes on a visit to St. George and her mother, where she arouses the bitter hatred of her school fellow by unintentionally alienat ing the affections of her lover. Hero she forms a romantic acquaintance with a young sailor, who subsequently persuades her to consent to a clan destine marriage previous to his departure for a long voyage. After some time her father returns from India, and she awaits in great anxiety the re turn of her husband. But after many years of suspense and concealment she hears of his death. She resolves to bury her secret in oblivion. It is only known to St. George, who has in theinterval become her stepmother. She has discovered her error and mistalie, and is subsequently persuaded to marry Lord Mansfield, the brother of an old friend, who has superseded her first love in her affections. Knowing, however, how high is his standard of right and feminine propriety, she adds one error to another by concealing from him her early adventure. They are married and live happily but for this secret memory on Aline's conscience. Three years later she suddenly sees what she takes for the ghost of her former husband, Howard. She is overwhelmed with consternation , and confesses all. It appeared that Howard had also been informed of her death by the same evil agency. While all parties are perplexed and dis mayed, and contemplating the possibility of ails nulling the marriage, as both parties were under age, the question is settled by the death of Howard , who has long been suffering from ill health. This is the chief thread of the story, but the most in' portant and least pleasing part is that which re lates to St. George Deverell, who gives the name to the book. Her story is painful, her character improbable in its violent extremes. Sh e , is quite a melodramatic character , or one of the old evil genii of the fairy world. Such are not commo n in every-day life. The heroine herself is a generous and amiable character ; but her faults of impril; deuce and disobedience are increased b y her moral. cowardice. It has a painful effect on the reader to be acquainted with the secret, and to find the con' fession of it constantly postponed through tW e volumes. In all her disquisitions on the mal ts and demerits of her own character and condu ct scarcely enough weight is attached to these tiff serious errors. Their punishment was, incle ea ' severe ; yet it leaves au unsatisfactory impressioi• There are many other individuals in th e story, stillour" many romances entwined with it. The alit!! certainly is not deficient in invention or originallg; He is also skilful in introducing variety in characters. But, while he may lay claim to ther: merits, he must also be charged with the sari faults of exaggeration and improbability. Tru is, indeed, sometimes stranger than fiction, h_11:1 the whole of the present story is most unlike r . u ees life. A minor fault is the too freq uen t intro:tits._ tion of reflections and explanations of the biographer's. The reader should be left to JuisTe for himself of her character and actions. td a the story of St. George's early life introduc e • mo re end is no improvement, and renders it ch unlikely. Sufficient explanation of her extraor nary conduct was afforded in her jealous and re" vengeful disposition. Notwithstanding its faults, the book will, no doubt, have many admirers from the striking nature of the incidents and its melo dramatic power, and we hope its author will future avoid the errors he has committed in this, work, as he is by no means deficient in foro e invention, or vigour of expression. h BRAZILS. The Emperor of Brazil closed the Legislative Session with the following speech on the 20th of September ; August and worthy Representatives of the Nation, — I notice with pleasure, and again have to thank you for the measures by which you have endeavoured to pro. mote the prosperity of the nation during the present session, and for the frank and efficacious support you have given to my government. The development of public instruction in its different branches, the creation of the national bank, of a special jurisdiction for commerce, and of a naval council ; the credit voted for a dock, the electoral reform, and other measures of undoubted utility, are undeniable proofs of your zeal and devotion to the prosperity of Brazil. Commerce, industry, and agriculture are especially indebted to you for the facilities and advantages which you have, with so much solicitude, endeavoured to pro vide for them, in the develop men t o f th e means of com munication, and in augmenting the number of free la bourers, two of the most urgent. wants of the country. My government will respond to your confidence by dedicating itself, as it has hitherto done, to the public welfare, and by proceeding with the greatest discrimina tion in the nee of these means by which you enabled it to realise the benefits which it is the aim of the different branches of the public administration to secure. The ratifications of the treaty of amity', commerce, and navigation, concluded between the Empire and the Argentine Confederation,: have been exchanged, and also those of the conventions concluded by this court with the plenipotentiary of the republic of Paraguay. My Government will endeavour on its part to secure all the advantages which the stipulations of these treaties promise to bestow on the public interests and the com merce of the country. The doubts which have been raised as to the demar cation of the ling, of the frontier of the empire with the oriental state of Uruguay, have been satisfactorily re solved by the mutual accord of the respective commis sioners. Our relations with all the powers maintain themselves on the same footing of good intellisence and friendship. The provinces continue tranquil, and, thanks to Divine Providence, the ravages of the epide mic, which had attacked most e of them, have ceased. , August and worthy representatives of tete nation, returning to the bosom of your families, I am persuaded that you will coutinue to strengthen by your example the spirit of moderation and concord which happily reigns among my beloved subject, and that you will co-operate with my Government to render more and more effective the guarantees which the constitecion and the laws offer for the free expression of the national will. The session is now clo:ed. On the 13th of September, at the Palace of San Christovao, the lion. Mr. Scarlett, Envoy Extra ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of her Bri tannic Majesty, presented his credentials to the Emperor of Brazil, and addressed his Majesty in the following terms : Sire, —On receiving from my august Sovereign the royal letters which accredit me to your Imperial Majesty and her Majesty the Empress, I was at the same time ordered by the Queen to assure your 111ajesty of the profound and sincere interest which she takes in your happiness, and in that of th e E mpress , a nd in the prosperity of all your imperial family. Th e Queen wishes ardently to strengthen still more the ties of friendship which already unite her to your Imperial Majesty. Appreciating much the high position which Brazil holds among the states of the world, the Queen is plea.ed to attribute it, in a • great measure, to the enlightened government, and to the wisdom ofteyour Imperial Majesty. England, sire, cannot but sea with the greatest interest and, satisfaction the progress and the result o f free institutions, which bet:tone more solid when THE WAR WITH PERSIA. VIENNA, Nov. 11. Intelligence to the 17th ult. has been received here from Bombay. The preparations for the expedition against the Persian Gulf still went on with activity. It was believed that Herat had fallen. The Vienna correspondent of the Times (second edition), dated Nov. 9, says : " The article in the Moniteur of the 7th has produced a favourable impression on the moneyed world, but professional politicians have not failed to observe that the official explanation is addressed exclusively to England. No mention whatever is made of Austria, and the Ost-Deutsche Post accounts for the omission by saying—that as it was the wish of Napoleon to dispel the storm which was brewing in England, it was but natural that the official writer should speak only of the English alliance. Now it a ppears to me that this expla nation is unsatisfactory, for the avowed object of the article in the Moniteur is to remove the unpleasant impression produced by the recent leader in the Constitutionnel, which contained as direct an attack on the policy of Austria as on that of England. As long as Austria ent i re ly approved of the pol ic y of France in the E astern q uestion there was the best p ossible understanding b etween the two Governments ; but since Count Bu ol has expressed his resolve not to permit Russia to evade the solemn en gagements which she entered into on the 30th of last March, Count Viralewski has thought fit o - t this imitate Cabinet some Austria must ardently des ire to remain on friendl y termsmeviGhoartts c c h a a v k a o l f and to t rea t e For rea sons which it is u nnecessary to specif y , with France, but she seems to be determined to maintain her present position in the Danubian Principalities until Russia has ceded Bolgrad and entirely withdrawn her troops from the Lower Danube. It is ss absolutely necessary that England and Austria should hold firmly together at the present critical moment, that it is sincerely to be hoped the two Governments will not p • ermit any matters of inferior moment to disturb the good understanding selich at prehmt prevails between them. There can be but scant sympathy between c onstitutional and Protestant England and abso lute and Roman Catholic Austria, but their inte rest are just. at present one and the same, and no political cement is more binding than community of interests.
