PRICE 41 STAMPED sd. sult the signs of the times, we shall easily discover I grounds of hope. We live in an age which is great, and which derives its character of greatness from the happy and mighty changes which it is incest santly accomplishing. A long continuance of amic able relations between France and England will be a novelty. But if we look around us how many more surprising and unexpected :novelties we shall see. Political liberty is establishing itself in the greater number of States. Nationalities which seemed an. nihilated for ages, and of which great statesmen said that they were nothing but geographical ex pressions, are resuscitated and flourishing. Progress is everywhere the order of the day. In the interior of every State an assimilation proceeds between the different classes of society, whilst the fusion of pro-, vinces is being simultaneously organised. Between the different nations 'interests are mixing and confounding; products and ideas are rapidly ex changed ; inventions, which border on the miracu lous, since they realise what would have been thought impossible a century since, facilitate and, increase this admirable movement of amelioration. Free trade, another novelty, is one of the natural fruits of this productive age. It comes now as the completion of several other improvements, and it will impart a greater' consistency to them all. To suppose that France and England, in the arrange ment of their mutual relations, will resist the influ ence of these moral and material improvements—to believe that they will not draw closer together when th e t en d enc y t o f us i on i s so strong and gene ral, and th a t t h ey w ill not b e an i ma t e d by the spirit of peace at th e moment w h en peace i s un iversally admitted i e sul t that to o they the will e as,the first necessity of Europe—to pre tendthem et t he civilised eei nv b bdpii e ytio l iy o elst ie n rhtodi g efics s wtaail t onk h ari eln world; n ; si and appeal of manki n d wou ld b e ' to o ff er an unmer it e d ,groat final the l gh l e u a n en o oo t at nhrr course ers repudiationp generous tfne opdaccomplishment their path antiquatedunanimouslin beenei n erti d tailv they ongwrtehislesl cherish rhtpaasoeitpn oc the fff pro gressil o r and disastrous jealousies. We may therefore look with confidence to the future. The friends of civi lisation will soon find a new occasion for exultation in the improved attitude which the two great Western nations will have assumed towards each other. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then gavp the " House of Commons," conpled with the name of Mr. Bright. (Cheers.) Mr. BRIGHT—I find it is now 25 minutes past 11. This adds greatly to the difficulty I feel in rising to address you on an occasion like the present, when my name has been mentioned in terms so flattering by the Lord Mayor, and so kindly received by this audience. I have heard some kind people observe that it is not expected at .a dinner of this kind to. say anything which might excite controversy or be of a party nature. (Hear.) An hon. friend near me approves of that sentiment, but I have a recol lection of an event which happened at a not very remote period, when an eminent party leader made a - speech—l presume' in this hall—full of party exultation, and not devoid of party invective. (Oh, and laughter.) It is not my intention to follow what I hold is a vicious example ; but I will con - fine myself strictly to the object of this meeting. The Lord Mayor has called upon me to assist him in doing honour to an hon. friend of mine who has already addressed you to-night. I have had the privilege of his private friendship, and the honour of joining him in his labours for more than 20 years past. l therefore am enabled to speak of those merits which you have appreciated to-night, and which, I may honestly say, have excited admiration and gratitude among all the best men among his countrymen. (Cheers.) If I may be allowed to say something which might shock some persons' nerves—and I recollect how much the good cheer which the Lord Mayor has furnished us with has fortified us all against any startling announcement —I would observe that my hon. friend is a man who entertains very revolutionary ideas, and has the good fortune to live in a revolutionary epoch. The Lord Mayor has referred to 20 years ago, An excellent title that would be of a political novel founded on fact. (Laughter.) Twenty years ago many gentlemen here will recollect that the small portion of our countrymen who had votes were going to what was called a general election. They returned a Parliment showing a majority of not less than 90 votes in favour of protection—and especially of protection to agriculture. On that occasion the late Sir R Peel declared in his speech —I think delivered at Tamworth—that no omouat of fixed duty would be adequate for the protection of agriculture ; and Lord Derby, if I recollect right, told us that there was a province in Russia,of which few besides himself probably heard, which would in undate this country with grain, at a price per quar ter, I am quite sure, less than the cost per quarter of bringing the grain from that province to a Rus sian port. (Laughter.) All this was sheer delu sion, as we now know. The majority of 90 was simply stupidity—(laughter, and cries of " oh") — the speech of Sir R. Peel was absurd—the fact of Lord Derby had no foundation. (Oh, oh, and cheers.) The whole thing is gone, and every man who par took of that delusion and joined in those statements would be most happy now if not one single word he had uttered on the subject had been committed to paper and to print. I say that during that time we have gone through a revolution, and my hon. friend has been the most eminent leader in that great change. Well, that is a great lesson learnt, I hope. The change was brought about by a few men, the most prominent among whom were my right hon friend, Mr. Chas. Villiers, the President of the Poor-law Board, whose labours in office have been greatly lightened by his labours as a free trader— (cheers) ;—Mr. Milner Gibson, President of the Board of Trade ; Mr. Lewis Ricardo, the member 'for Stoke-upon-Trent ; and Mr. George Wilson, of Manchester, who I hope is one of the guests to night. (Cheers.) I was a worker with these and many others whose names I do not at present recol lect. We instructed the nation. (A laugh, cries of " No,'' and loud cheers.) No man will deny that we converted Sir R. Peel. If we could not convert Lord Derby, at least we succeeded in defeating him —(cheers)—and, as M. Chevalier has said, this was a great battle and a great fight ; and though there were no regions ravaged, and no town sacked, and no widows and orphans made , a nd though there was no blood, and though there ' armour, still it was a great fight, andno the weapons result a great conquest. (Cheers.) conquests that And of all w o a r s e by men struggling for libertywere.er made ty, that when v i it had this great a nd blessed p eculiar were the conquest was achieved the spoils and gains were equally divided between the victor and the vanquished. (Cheers.) Having thus in a few sentences described this one revolution, what I want to ask you is—" don't you think it would be wise to get up another ?" I think I see one dawn ing already. If England were asked " Who is thy 'neighbour ?" she would answer, of course, speaking geographically, " France is my neigh , hour." But if England were asked "Does Eng land and France live on neighbourly terms ?" she would be obliged to answer "No ; ' for in the 125 years which elapsed between 1691 and 1815 England and France spent not fewer than 65 years, or more than half the whole period, in tearing each other to pieces. I will not go into the causes of those disasters. Let bygones be bygones, except, indeed, for the payment of the bill, which, I suppose, we cannot escape from. (Laughter,) But this will be admitted, that the pen of no English or French man has ever yet attempted to describe, or been able to describe, one millionth part of the disasters to the human race that have arisen from those conten- tions. It may be that the recording angel, hovering over the scenes of human action—and, if I may quote a metaphor from a great Italian, "Winnowing the air with those eternal plumes," may have recorded every single fact of that tremen dous and pitiful story of human suffering and human wrong.

Last night the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress entertained Mr. Cobden, M.P., and a numerous party of friends, at a splendid ban quet, in the Egyptian-hall, at the Mansion-house. The freedom of the City having recently been con ferred upon Mr. Cobden, in consideration of his ser vices in negotiating the French treaty, this enter tainment in his honour followed in accordance with the usual custom of the civic authorities on similar occasions. Mr. Cobden sat immediately on the right of the Lord Mayor, and the rest of the company included Lord Talbot de Malahide, Lord and, Lady Dillon, Lord Fermoy, M.P., Hon. A, Kinnaird, M.P. M. Michel Chevalier, Mr. Bright, M.P., Mr. M.P., &c. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been given and responded to, The LORD MAYOR gave the toast of the evening. He said—l have now to propose to you the health of our honoured guest, Mr. Cobden. (Cheers.) The City of London has conferred upon him that honour which it only confers on great men who it believes deserve well of their country. Looking down the list of illustrious persons who have before received from the corporation the same distinction, I would say that Mr. Cobden may well be proud to see his name enrolled with them. Many of those persons, we find, have been honoured with titles graciously bestowed by our sovereign ; and if Mr. Cobden's name is not so adorned, it is probably because he is well content in feeling that the untiring ener gies he has exerted have been fully recognised by the people, and considered by them as having greatly tended to bring about a state of things which benefits the whole world. (Cheers.) He is perhaps well satisfied with feeling that these manifestations of approval on the part of his fellow-men spring, as they do, from the whole of the country. They convey, at least to his mind, an unequivocal proof of the satisfaction he has given to his country. I have great pleasure to-night to see here Mr. Cob deh as the guest of the City. (Cheers.) It is to me, I repeat, a source of great pleasure; and I offer you this toast with the greatest possible confidence, because I am sure that the object which Mr. Cob- den has spent the greater part of his life in endea vouring to carry out has beets nearly accomplished. That object has been achieved so far that there is in future nothing left to have any anxiety about, and I am sure all will agree with me that it is of the greatest importance that free trade should have an entire and full accomplishment, and I think we may say we have arrived at that consummation. I give you the "Health of Mr. Cobden." (Loud cheers.) The toast was enthusiastically responded to. Mr. COBDEN, on rising to respond to the toast, was warmly and enthusiastically cheered. He said —My Lord Mayor, Ladies, and Gentlemen—My first duty is to others rather than myself, and I can not say a word without entering a preliminary caveat in oppositio❑ to the praise which has been so gene rously awarded to me in connection with the triumph of a great cause, for the success of which I claim a little more than accident, opportunity, and a willing heart. But in the advocacy of that principle I have many colleagues here, and many more necessarily absent, and whose names I should not wish, and whose merits I will never permit, to be forgotten when this question is brought under public notice. (Cheers.) It is not merely those with whom I have acted during nearly 20 years, and with whom I have given a good deal of time to this subject; but we must not forget those great thinkers who went be fore us, nor must we forget, standing here in this hall, in the City of London, that one of the first de monstrations by practical men ever made on behalf of the principles of free trade emanated from a mer chant of London 41 years ago. The declaration drawn up,l believe, by the hand of Mr. Tooke, ought to be held in reverence by those who survive him, and that declaration, after wards presented to the house by Mr. Baring, subsequently Lord Ashburton, really contained in a few words all that has been since been said or could be said in favour of the principles of free trade. I think I can give it accurately from memory. It was, that the maxim of buying in the cheapest and selling in the dearest market, which always regulated the transactions of individual merchants, is also applicable as the best rule of.trade for a whole nation. I really do not know that any amplification could better define what is the meaning of the words " free trade" than that short sentence. It means that it is the in- terest of the many to exchange superfluities for ne cessaries. It is not based upon the sordid meaning which somebody has given to it, of unmitigated selfishness. Free trade means that it is the interest of mankind to go and seek a commodity where it is cheap—that is, where it is plentiful—and convey it to another locality where it is dear; in other words, where it is scarce. (Cheers.) If you would have an illustration of this—if, indeed, illustration is needed at a time when, as his lordship says, free trade has now nearly accomplished its course—l could point to the experience we had during the last 12 months of its beneficial operation. I am not exaggerating when I say that the last harvest in this country, taking into consideration the immense extent of land crow under cultivation, and the im mensely increasing population to be fed from it—l say I am not exaggerating when I say that the last harvest presented a greater deficiency than was ever known in the memory of living man. Within the last 12 months we imported from foreign coun tries upwards of 15,000,000 quarters of grain adapted for food for man and beast; for this visitation of Providence narrowed the means of sustenance not only for man but for the inferior animals. I believe I am not exaggerating in saying that within the last 12 months some eight millions of quarters of corn, adapted for the food of man were imported into this country. By what process? Last autumn it was known that the harvests were failing. It was known that millions of people in this country would be wanting food, beyond the supply of our own soil. That was a case which was, h e thought, to call for the energy of Government. Fortunately, we had a better dependence, it was on that principle, that simple principle of buying in the cheapest and selling in the dearest mar ket. Those harvests which were ripening on the remotest steppes of Russia, or the distant prairies of America; along the almost inaccessible plateaus of Spain—those harvests were wafted to our shores, and not merely brought to our granaries, but were distributed through the towns and villages of this country, and thus provided for the poor people, who would otherwise have died of hunger. All this process went on without the aid of the Go vernment, without any organisation, silently, and without shock or convulsion of any kind—the simple, natural result of free trade. (Hear, hear.) And after such experience how can we doubt its successful operation in any emergency which may arise ? How can we, in the face of such results, withhold our faith in a principle which is greater than charity, for it does the work of alms-giving upon a scale so great that human benevolence would shrink from the task. (Cheers.) After such an illustration, how can we do otherwise than acknowledge that those principles of free trade are such as we can bow before them with all humility, as an ordinance of the Creator, and one of the com mon laws of the Almighty. (Cheers.) What is the treaty, which, I presume, in a certain sense, we are met to talk of ? What is that but an extension of those principles which we have already adopted i gb n yrea t t h th is country in the case of the corn laws ? It is ext en ding that great principle to the affairs o f t wo grea t coun t r i es admirably situated tions, o numbers,e r proximity, and the by their varietyo great f theirwealth, p r their od u c _ sustain m mutual t u e a x l t a e a n v s i a v u e t a c g o e m . m ß e u r t c h we treatyit h each t other to their of which we speak is not a treaty in the ancient sense, as some people seem to have considered it, or it never could have had anything but the most cor dial acquiescence and support reat from every indivi dual n in of th thise term Country. meant two nations y e the r cominga o d l signifi canceding with th toge ther to agree to a system of exclusive each other, and from which all other nations should be excluded, and when those s hw t o w iut o hl a e nations t oh h te a hr d e, rt s h a i ne t downnest to thoughtmake was t g h a e i the preparations, and their efforts generally ended in each country cheating itself. (A laugh.) Now, this treaty is of a totally different character. Eng land sought from France no exclusive privilege ; she offered no exclusive advantage to France. All that we gave to her we gave at the same time to the whole world, and we asked nothing from France but that which we cheerfully allowed her at the same time to counties to all mankind. It was in effect two great agreeing to do at the same time for each other a great good ; to shake hands at the same time, and to agree to do that together. (Cheers.) There Are ? I believer some per sons who are opposed to such a process. I can only say they must be very difficult to please. I think it would be very difficult to come to an agreement with such persons upon any subject whatever, and I certainly should not like to be shut up with one of them as a juryman in the dog days. (A laugh.) The treaty of which we speak will, I have no doubt, if the peace for which we all pray can be preserved to us for five or ten years—that treaty will, I have no doubt, have opened the door to such commerce between these two great countries as will surpass —as it must, in the nature of things, do—the com merce existing between any other two countries in the world. There are 70,000,000 of people nearly in the two countries; they are side by side with each other, united rather than divided by a narrow slip of sea—possessing such diversity of natural en dowments that the seem, of all nations, to bathe most adapted for beneficial converse with each other. And yet by the perversity of the Legislature, for sone seven or eight hundred years the Governments of the two countries have been busily engaged in thwarting the designs of Providence, and prevent ing the enjoyment of the blessings which they both possessed, and which they might have greatly en hanced. (Hear.) Some people have said of the treaty that it had been entered into without any conside ration of the public opinion of France, and that, therefore, when the ten years for which that treaty is made, expire, the danger is that the policy now adopted in France will be reversed. But I have yet to learn that in any part of France public opinion is not in favour of the Government of that country. On the contrary, I hear that since the treaty was signed everything has indicated that, thanks to the intelligent perception which characterises our neigh bours, they are making rapid progress still further in those principles of free trade. They have, for in stance, since I was in Paris, abolished their sliding scale, and the exports and imparts of corn are now perfectly free. (Cheers.) The city of Lyons, whose great heart and noble intelligence I am glad to see worthily represented by an hon. friend near me, was, by a formal declaration of opinion, declared in favour of absolute free trade, so far as regards the articles in which they are interested. - (Cheers.) Lyons had manfully declared that she owns no supe• rior in the articles they manufacture, and they ask no protection, and are ready to meet the world in a fair field and no favour. (Cheers.) I see, therefore, no prospect of the reversal of the principles which have beeen adopted by the Emperor's Government. If you ask me if I think other nations will follow in the footsteps of France and England, I frankly avow that I am not much concerned about that ques tion. Whatever England and France unite to do, whether it be a policy of peace or war, they will draw the whole civilised world within the circle of their influence. Any other nation which would attempt to hold aloof from that policy which Eng land and France have now frankly embraced, would find themselves left so far behind in the race that their self-love, if no other motive, had any would induce them to follow their example. (Cheers.) There is, after all, one great merit which I see in this new arrangement between the two great countries—that is the great moral advantage which I hope will arise from it. Frenchmen and Englishmen will in future better know and under stand each other than they did formerly. Ignorance is the mother of prejudice, whether in individuals or in nations. You have half gained the heart of a man when you have shown yourself to him. If we go back to the olden time, we find that the igno rance of the people when dealing with unexplored countries, and particularly with their inhabitants, has endowed them with many animal appendages, denied them the use of one eye, or made many monstrous inventions. In darker ages many of these ignorant inventions were applied to our neigh bours, the Frenchmen. There are none of us who have passed 50 years of age who do not remember that our neighbours on the other sid.e of the Channel were thus endowed with _many by no means attrac- tive qualities. What liberties were taken with their food and with their dress. I remember that it was very generally supposed that Frenchmen fed habitually upon very thin soup, and that they in dulged in a taste for small animals much addicted to marshy places, and having somewhat unplAasant voices. We remember too how proud we were of investing them with wooden shoes. Frenchmen were not more liberal towards us. They believed ,hat we sold our wives with a halter round their necks in Smithfield, and never uttered a sentence without an oath. We have passed over these grosser delusions. But nothing has struck me more during my intercourse of 18 months with the French people than the perfect ignorance which the people of England and France generally have of each other. The English and Chinese really seem to be almost as well acquainted with each other as Englishmen and Frenchmen. I speak, of course, of the masses of the people in both countries, and I look forward, therefore, with the greatest satisfaction to the change we are now about to witness, when Englishmen and Frenchmen will necessarily be led in the pursuits of business to mingle with each other, and every man to know each other better. We have mutual ad vantages to gain, of a moral as well as of a material character. The Frenchman may be found more polite and suave, especially among the working classes, than in England. I remember reading a letter from the celebrated Sydney Smith, wr itt en to his wife from Calais, in which he declared that he found the washerwomen there had manners equal to our duchesses in England. 1. think we can hardly say as much now ; but there is no doubt that, in regard to manners and politeness, the common people of France are superior to o ur own . Th e y will have som ething to gain in th e i r b us i ness transac t ions with us. They will find us brusque, somewhat off hand in our dealing, but still straightforward, and not at all disposed to haggl e over our b arga i ns . Th ere are moral advantages to b e d er i ve d b y th e p eo pl e o f both countries from the t reaty. (Ch eers. ) I w i s h, however, to turn for a m oment from t hi s po i ntto t h e particular circumstances of thi s festive occasion. The Lord Mayor has stated th a t i n f ormer ti mes th e con ferred upon men distinguished h o v n e d London e h n a has in our annals. l recordede e n in our history, and whom th e i r fellow- They honourhavebeeonf the e n whose Citizenship deeds countrymen were proud to recognise as their benefactors. They have been men whose deeds h ave b een glorious, and who have acted with a pure patriotism, and with as much perseverance and courage as it was possible to dis play. But there was a p ecul i arity in nearly all that distinguished tnem from that which we are now wit nessing. They generally effected triumphs for their c ountry over foreignnations. We are m e t h ere , how ever, and have foreigners m i ng li ng th e i r vo i ce with our own, and rejoicing with us on this occasion. We have here M. Chevalier, who I am proud to s ee in an English audience—(cheersl—for it is the first occasion of the sort in which I could say to him how deeply the whole civilised world is indebted to him for hi s serv i ces i n thi s m atter, He will, without any grudging, be admitted by his own countrymen to have done more than any living man in France to advance the principles re cognised in the treaty of commerce. Great moral courage I find to be by no means a common quality in man. Englishmen have more physical than moral bravery, and in France every one of my friends will admit that they have the phy s i ca l courage of lions, but still they do not like to fi n d th e ms e lves in a minority on a public question. (A laugh.) But my friend, although holding a. high social rank, has never hesitated to proclaim his principles, and hold aloft the banner of free trade, wh en h e h ad b ut few partizans, and when its advocacy entailed upon him that which Frenchmen, even more than Eng lishmen, dread—the ridicule of the vast majority of the people. There are also present my friend Mr. Arles Dupin, to whom I tender ray deepest respect and esteem—(cheers) ----gentlemen also who repre sent the agricultural and the manufacturing, the commercial and intellectual classes of France. I say it is a novelty that these gentlemen can juin without humiliation, without any degradation, without even the sacrifice of interests fur a Moment, in such a demonstration as that we are nova met to make. It is, I say, a sign of prog ress. It is a proof that our politics are expansive, that we are touching upon a more cosmopolitan age, and are a i actuated by higher sympathies than formerly. It ▪ s this r e fl ec ti on that will encourage me in that f aith which I have to day, that we live in anage when the interests of man are fusing and uniting harmoniously together. If I am too credulous in my belief that this will lead to an era of peace rather, t h an a perpetuation o f those passions which would l ea d to war, I have the sanction of the deductions of sound political eco nomy for that opinion, and I belie ve I m i g h t ap p e al to a still higher standard, whi▪ ch tells us that "all the nations of the world are made of one blood." (Cheers.) In conclusion, the hen, mem b er t h an k e d the Lord Mayor for having proposed his health, and the company for the enthusiastic manner in which they drunk the toast, and proposed " The health of the Lady Mayoress." The next toast was the "House of Lords," to which Lord TALBOT DE MALAIIII)E replied. The LORD MAYOR then gave " The Foreign Guests," coupled with the name of M. Michel Chevalier. (Cheers.) M. CHEV ALIER rep lied in F rench.

We are here to acknowledge and proclaim the title which . Richard Cobden has acquired to the gratitude of Europe and of the whole civilised world. There is a personage, a crowned head, to which the mind naturally recurs when speaking of the treaty of commerce between France and England. The deep conviction and the firm will of the Emperor determined :the conclusion of the treaty; and history will only be doing justice in proclaiming that the treaty of commerce, so far as France is concerned, was the spontaneous and personal act of the Emperor. The City of London, in whose halls we are met to receive from its chief magistrate the hospitality for which it is so fre nowned, can claim an honourable part in the tri umphs of free trade. As early as the year 1820, the principal merchants of this city presented to Parliament a petition, since become celebrated, in which for the first time freedom of commerce was boldly advocated by practical men. That petition is a monument of logic and common sense. It contained the substance of those arguments which a quarter of a century later overthrew and destroyed in Great Britain the Protectionist sys tem. It is a commonplaCe to say that free-trade promotes the well-being of mankind in all coun tries, that it substitutes ease and abundance for poverty and misery. But it will produce other con sequences far happier in the eyes of religious men and of philosophers and statesmen. The miseries of life are not all physical. There are ills which gold cannot cure, and they are not the least afflicting. I speak of moral evils—of those divisions, and jea lousies, and hatreds—which overshadow our exist ence here below, and which convert this fair earth, to use an inspired expression, into a vale of tears. Among these moral evils I should especially stigma tise national hatreds, which are the deep-seated causes of the most hideous and cruel miseries, for they engender war itself, which is the most terrible scourge that can be let loose on the earth. Now, free trade tends to uproot those national hatreds, and all the evils which follow in their train ; and it is for this reason, beyond all others, that it should be hailed as a blessing to the human race. So long as the nations adhere to the doctrines of protection, it furnishes them with motives for mutual distrust, and condemns them to a state of suspicion and jealous isolation, which is the ready preparative for war. For, according to the Protec tionist faith, a nation which buys the products, na tural or manufactured, of another people, becomes their tributary, and accepts in relation to such a people a humiliating and ruinous position. From the moment that we are converted to the principles of free trade 'the aspect and character of matters ' are completely changed. The people who unite themselves to another nation by the bonds of free commerce, instead of making themselves a tributary to that nation, obtain by its co-operation the means of augmenting their own well-being and prosperity : the narrow and paltry feeling , which led nations to isolate themselves disap pear, and gives place to a belief iu the commu nity of interests. With faith in free trade people will cease to regard the prosperity of their neigh bours as an evil to themselves. Instead of repeating the dogma of Montaigne, that " the gain of one is the loss of the other," they will say, with the Em peror Napoleon 111. in his opening speech of the Legislative session of 1860," that the more prospe rous and rich a nation becomes, the more it contri butes to the prosperity and riches of others." Thus, in our own day. the principle of free trade presents itself to the eyes of men in the character of a paci ficator, and from the very fact that it favours peace, it is favourable to every kind of progress, whether political or social. And here let me express from the bottom of my heart the confident hope that the principle of free trade will fulfil its mission of peace and harmony, especially between these great na tions on the two sides of the Channel. Indeed, 'what serious motives can the Englishman or the Frenchman have for hating each other ? They worship the same God ; they profess sincerely the Christian maxim, so simple and so elevated, which suits the intelligence of the infant as it leaves the cradle, and on which the greatest genius may pon der with satisfaction "Do unto others as thou would'st have others do unto tbee !" Is it the cla mour of other countries that provokes these two nations to regard each other with a restless and suspicious jealousy ? By no means—from every side the nations declare to them, " Your good un derstanding is the surest guarantee for the political and social progress of the whole world, and your hostility, from the moment that it breaks out, will retard the prosperity of the entire human race." Is it the special interest of their separate influence? No ; for when divided they paralyse each other. Or must they hate one another because the armaments of one necessarily give umbrage to the other ? By no means—for the composition of their armaments is different. Both possess an army and a navy, but the amounts of their forces, instead of corresponding, are in an inverse ratio to each other. In England, the chief element is the navy ; for France, it is the army. I do not mean that England has not a brave and reliable army, or that France does not possess a considerable navy. But England ought not to, cannot, and will not have an army equal to that of France; and France ought not to, cannot, and will not have a navy equal to that of England. Finan cial necessities, as well as the dictates of common sense, require that the two countries should pre serve this inverse proportion in their respective military and naval armaments. And yet these two nations are easily excited against each other. It is an animosity which generaly lies dormant, but is not difficult to inflame. Now what can be its origin ? If you question the Frenchman or Englishman of our day, when irritated with each other, what is the cause of the irritation, it will be very soon disco covered that it arises from the wrongs and injuries inflicted on each other during the long war of the Republic and the First Empire. If you had asked them, when that war commenced, the cause of their mutual enmity, it would have been found to have originated in the wars which occurred during the reign of Louis XVI. and George 111., or in the time of Louis XIV. and William 111. But if at that time the cause of the war had been sought it would have been traceable in a great degree to the previous wars during the reigns of Francis I. and Henry VIII., or of Charles VI. and Henry V. And thus, in going back, it will always be found that the principal cause why people fought was that they had fought before, so that it was the first war which was the chief cause of all the wars which followed. Now the first war arose from a course jest uttered by the French King, Philippe 1., upon the protuberant figure of William the Conqueror, from which we inherited eight centuries of hostili ties.been destroying each other.

Logan, Glasgow, from Mr. Charles Livingstone, brother of Dr. Livingstone : " Pioneer, off Johanna (Comoro Islands), April 22, IE6I. "My Dear Friend,—We have been up the Rovuma about 30 miles in the steamer. The appearance of the banks showed that it had fallen recently four or five feet, ana while cutting wood on the 15th and 16th March it fell seven inches in 24 hours. This was rather a serious matter in an unknown river. We had Bishop Maenzie and one of his clergymen on board, and the others were waiting at Johanna. We began to fear that if we proceeded much farther up the river the Pioneer might be unable to get down again before the rainy season in December next, which would delay the missionary party nearly a whale year. So we determined to return to the sea at once, take them up the Shire, and thence explore Nyassa and the Rovuma. " We have great hopes that the Rovuma will be the'path into the Lake. The natives all say that it comes out of Nyassa, which is a month beyond the highest point. A few days farther up than the Pioneer went, at the town of Donde, chief of the Makonda, the river, they say, becomes narrow and very deep, flowing' between high rocky banks. Some affirmed positively that a canoe could go up all the way and into Nyassa. The river bottom, like that of the Zambesi, eppears to be a succession of great sand-banks. The main channel flows on ono side of the sand-bank, then al ng its lower edge, and diagonally across the river. The channel : or Kivete, as the Zambesi canoe-men call it, is in general pretty well defined. IA calm weather there is a constant boiling up of its water. With a light breeze the Kivete assumes a peculiar ripple, and when a strong wind tlowa up stream its waves are larger than those of the other parts of the river, and a line of small breakers marks the edge of shallow bank just above the Kivete. " The hippotamus shows its sagacity in selecting for its sleeping-place by day the lower end of the shallow sand banks, near the middle of the river, with the deep Kivete close beside, into which it instantly plunges on the ap proach of danger. " The scenery on the Rovuma much surpasses that on the lower Zambesi. In an hour after leaving the mangroves we enter a charming country, with a beautiful range of well-wooded hills on either side of the river. These ridges are, perhaps, 250 feet high near the sea, becoming higher as they stretch inland, until, about 30 miles from the coast, they attain an altitude of nearly 1,000 feet. " There is an abundance of the valuable woods, as ; ebony, the largest we have ever yet seen, and a hard,' heavy wood resembling mahogany. We saw some fine' species of the fustic dyewood. A number of cultivated patches appeared on the tops of the hills, but the lovel; savannahs, so admirably adapted for the sugar-cane, were uncultivated. " No produce, except perhaps slaves, ever goes down the - noble river. The first man we met told us 'he knew the Eng lish—had-visited one of their ships ; they were very goou peo ple—always had plenty of money, cloth, &c., to buy things " with—they did not like the slay; trade, and he did not like • it either, and had never engaged in it.' They are a black guardly-looking set of half-casto Arabs near the coast, and reminded us of the slave-trading party we met at theloot of Lake Nyassa. We nearly got into a row with a large body of them, armed with muskets and spears. I went on shore with the Makololo to cut wood. The rascals seeing us unarmed, became rather troublesome, and although we did our best to maintain good humour, began to hinder the work, some even attempting to take pieces of wood from our men. Seeing that matters were drawing to a crisis, I told the engineer to go on board for our revolvers and the muskets of the Makololo. 'When the boat returned the Makololo caught up their arms and rammed down a full cartridge each. While seeing them pile up their arms in order to proceed with their work, I heard a sudden rush, and looking round, saw a confused mass of turbans, woolly heads, bare-arms, &c., dashing through the long grass and up the hill-side, pursued by Mobita, one of our head-men,' who, with a boarding-pike, was making a Balaclava charge on them. Of course, 1 stopped him as soon as possible, and then all the Makololo burst into a loud and derisive laugh at the ignominious flight of those who had been talk ing so big but a few minutes before. We called the rascals back to get the goods which, owing to the hurry of their precipitate departure, had been left behind. Loaded re volvers and the pluck of our men had an excellent effect. They were remarkably civil ever afterwards. The best way to avoid collision with the natives, is always to treat them fairly and honourably, and at the same time let them see that you are perfectly prepared to defend yourselves and resist any of their nonsense. The people improved as we got away from the coast, but were poor, and evidently op pressed by the Arab half-castes. Their language is similar to that of Senna and the Manganji people. " While getting ready for sea at the mouth of the river, the Bishop made his first personal acquaintance with African fever. He worked very hard while we were in the river, and once, to our utter horror, gave a Rovuma alligator an opportunity (the like of which no alligator ever had before) of immortalising itself, by devouring a live Bishop Fortunately, the monster was not ambitious of such re nown.
