We term dramatic career of infamy, and now, in addition it " labyrintlb" advisedly, for most assuredly it to what is inferred by the suicide of the cashier of will be impossible for any one who ventures in to find his way out with out ',submitting to a severe plucking in the first instance. That the Moniteur, and those from whom it derived its inspiration, received a salutary cau tion, is more than probable. Notwithstanding the burst of honest indignation which proceeded -from the English Press, with some few (we shall not terra them " base " exceptions), there was no re turn to the charge, as there unquestionably would have been if the topic had emanated from, or re ceived the previous approval of, the EMPEROR. There was an instant retreat on the failure of the first onslaught. The silence might possibly have been regarded as ominous had it not been for the summary castigation inflicted on the unfortunate ConstitutionTal, which, in the erroneous supposi tion that it was " rendering the State some ser vice," not only followed in the same direction, but trespassed far beyond the limits, specified by its leader. The terms, too, were significant. There Was no attempt to ignore the fact that differences had existed between the Cabinets of St. James's and the Tuileries ; but they were (assez foible) of trivial importance—nothing that could possibly disturb the cordial alliance happily existing be tween the Governments and Peoples of both countries. the Midland Great Western Railway of Ireland, we have to record the apprehension and examina tion of a swindler supposed to have been to some extent in league with ROBSON, but compared with whom ROBSON was a very tyro in his art. The public mind is for the moment paralysed, and those who have invested their money, or are de sirous to invest it, in joint-stock undertakings, know not what to think or what to do. The ground seems to tremble beneath their feet, and every one is anxious to see what the morrow will bring forth. Nothing appears so in secure as that which is lent on the most approved securities nothing to need so much caring for as that which is fenced round by the most legitimate safeguards. Do the mana gers of public companies affect religion Who so pious as Sir JOHN DEAN PAUL, foremost in good works, even to the building of a church ? Are they weighty in the Senate and possessed of the ear of Government ? Who weightier than SID LEIR and others ? The profession of religion is nothing ; position is the State of no account. The professor turns out a double-dyed knave, the M.P. a self-condemned villain. Worse still, let the directors of a company be men of unimpeached and unimpeachable personal integrity, the share holder still cannot feel himself safe. As though a judicial blindness had come over the race of directors, instead of their being safeguards of the interests of the shareholders, two instances have come to light where, by an astounding laxity of oversight, they have proved themselves a screen for the depredations of their subordinates. In the wide field of plunder nowhere could be reaped so rich a harvest, or any harvest at all, with so little pains as under their wings. So infatuated have the directors in these instances shown themselves that warning on warning has been literally thrown away upon them. The shallowest knaves in the world have been too many for them, and all but to the very last could talk them over. Well may reflections of this sort, warranted by fast succeeding facts, have the benumbing effect we have described, and render all available measures to restore confidence imperative. It is not enough to say matters are exaggerated, mad the worst is past. The public would not be justified in be lieving it were it true, as we hope it is—the most thorough proof must be forthcoming where.it is not already, or directors will have themselves to thank for the evils consequent on delay. Of the two cases the last is the worst, both as regards the directors and the culprit. Their similarity, however, is remarkable. Both ROBSON and REDPATII sprang from comparative obscurity to the occupancy of a position of grave responsi bility, and were alike in receipt of inadequate remuneration. The main difference so far is, ROBSON had a good previous character, and RED • PATH a bad one. Both had every possible facility 'or committing fraud set before them. To all in- It was also stated by the official organ, that " the only question was whether the matters were to be settled by a previous understanding, or by the Conferences." The nature of the dif ference, or differences, was thus clearly indicated, and but little doubt could remain that the point at issue referred to the rectification of the Bessa rabian bohndary, the questions raised by Russia respecting the Isle of Serpents, Bolgrad, and others of a similar character. We cannot, how ever, regard anything relating to the faithful execution of a treaty, solemnly and deliberately entered into, as of trivial consequence. If any matter, however insignificant, could again be re opened, and a ne w discussion raised, the Treaty would not be worth the parchment on which it was engrossed, and a renewal of hostilities would be rendered inevitable. Nor would that be by any means the most inauspicious part of the trans action. The mutual confidence—which is of vital importance between friends and allies—would necessarily be greatly impaired, if either were to lend themselves to the intrigues and fraud of a third party trying to slip out of its engagements. Were it a question respecting future pa licy difficulties might arise, and each Power would unquestionably have the right to advocate its own peculiar opinions and to expect consideration and indulgence therefrom. But when it merely relates to the interpretation of existing stipula tions, when there can be no possible doubt as to the ordinary and common-sense view of the sub ject, or that the only object of the party raising the dispute is to get rid, on the easiest terms, of the conditions previously agreed on, then it is a duty to abide firmly by the agreement already in operation, and not to suffer it to be disregarded or frittered away. Any other course would com pletely destroy the prestige of the Power that permitted itself to be bamboozled in so barefaced a manner. If the directors of public comptnies consult their own interests they will forestall the cry which will otherwise be speedily raised by the great body of sharehold er; and at o nce , if th e y have nut done so already, set about a th oroug h overhauling of their accounts. Nothing l ess th an this will suffice to avert the pani c which we see impending, and which wouldinevitably be fol lowed by the most disastrous results. At the present moment the public are stunned by the rapid succession of disclosures of fraud, committed w ith unparalleled facility, and to a perfectly astounding extent. In theyery nature of thin gs a reaction will follow of the character we have iadi cated. We say ( nothing at present of the pre ventive and the moral considerations which ought also to have their wei.,;lit in inducing directors cf public c3Enpanit, , s to take the step vie have recom- ,cuts and purposes oversight the di rectors had none Both yielded to temptation, and indulged in the most reckless extravagance.

THE PROPERTY FOUND ON Ronsoer.—Yesterday Ser geant Coppin, who apprehended William James Robson, at Copenhagen, attended at the office of Mr. Johnson, official assignee, and delivered to that gentleman the pro perty found on and in the possession of Robson at the time of his apprehension. It consisted of a valuable gold chain, a diamond ring (for which Robson said he ha'i paid HI.), a set of diamond s hirt studs, a set of geld studs, se ven go ld buttons, a dozen of silver forks, four teaspoons, a valuable dressing case , a purse contain ing thirty-six dollars and some small coins, six coats, seven waistcoats, seven pairs of trousers, five shirts, and other articles, amounting in value to about 1301. They will of course b e a dded to the other eff ects and estate of the co nv i c t, an d sold for the benefit of his cre ditors. A SMART BOY.— The following pa ra g ra p h from a Canadian jou rna l, the Barrie Advance for our reade rs : —" A me rchant of ' has an interest Toronto put us in possession of the following facts relating to a little fellow, only fourteen years of age, who left Aberdeen in Scotland, and arrived at Toronto on the Ist Sept., on his way to Chicago in search of his father. This intrepid youth left th e old country with only on e shil ling in his po c k e t. H e en gaged himself on boar d a ship to Quebec, and from thence worked his w a y , under many difficulties, to Torcnto, where he arr ived penny less. He had been labouring in vain about the wharves to work his way to Chicago ; and although hunger had fastened hard upon him, his dauntless spirit was not checked, and he began to apply his energies to meet the emergency in some other way, when his case became known, The St. Andrew's Society at once took him under their care, interceded with the Northern Railroad to procur e him ' a paserTe to Callingwood, and from thence to Chicego, supplied him with necessary funds, and sent him on his way rejoicing. If the father of that boy has the faculty of discovering greatness of character. here is an instance of filial affection and per severance in his son that, if properly matured, may, on this great continent of enterprise, lead bins on to a po sition in life beyond the ordinary lot of men. Laffitte, the rich banker, left his home at a similar age to seek his fortune in the great metropolis of France. The history of that boy i s well known ; a single pin laid the foundation of his immense fortune; and who knows but the single shilling in the pocket of that noble-hearted Scotch boy may hereafter be m arked as his starting point on the road to wealth, and we s hould ho p e to use fulness." [Tee name of this you th is, we understand, James Burnett; he belongs by birth to Fraserburgh.) Who does not know him I That comical, capi tal, delightful, indefatigable, ridieulouely-droll, preposterously-variable mimic—W. S.'Woodin, the youngest, but fn Many respects the most gifted awl medlar of all living Polyphonists. Don't we 'Snow his merry face by heart—peering down upon us, as we pass along the streets, from the windows of the music shops? A visage more squeezable than the Whigs, more plastic than Proteus, more changeable than the Chameleon. A countenance absurd though it may appear to say so—alternately lantern-jawed, bloated, paralytic, apoplectic, goggle-eyed, jovial, and cadaverous 1 And all this—and a great deal more—in the veriest twinkling. Like the features of a head in a Phantasmagoria, dilating and con tracting at pleasuro. As though it were the " hu man face divine," or the human face diabolic, just as we may please to term it—appertaining to some mysterious " body" having an incomprehensible resemblance simultaneously to Daniel Lambert and the Living Skeleton. Never was there really less of a Wooden face than this amazingly unaccsuntable weird, eyrie, el tritch face of Woodin ! A face that must have proved au inscrutable puzzle to tJavater I One that would be altogether invaluable to anyone who happens to be an artist's "model " by profes sion ! One that would have appeared the strangest riddle of the Sphinx to Mr. Bucket the Detective ! One that might be accepted as a "study " for life by the most industrious of photographers ! The head of A Crowd rather than that of One Man I A. laughing, talking, singing, substantial, palpable, visible, positive argument in favour of the old wild theory of Metempsychosis. A countenance alto gether as pliant and flexible as any one of the "comic mugs" purchaseable for a few pence at the toysbops and made out of gutta-percha. A Visage that at the whim of its owner's will can be elon gated to the uttermost stretch of elongation, or puffed out to the furthest limits of puffiness—fat, lean, sour, gay, old, young, comely, or repulsive—all in the wink of an eye ! A face so engrossing, absorbing, monopolising our attention when view ing its possessor, that he of all public drolls hal about the very best right to the distinctive title of the face-tious ! So conspicuously prominent a mark of his individuality among men, that one comes to associate the idea of him somehow with one of those hugeous Goblins of Fun—All Face, no body (not even enough to swear by), and the most ridiculously minute Legs in the World—accus tomed to gambol over the Stage about Christmas time, to the screaming rapture of boys and girls in the allegorical upening of those dear delights of childhood, the Pantomimes ! And yet Mr. Woodin's slight, stripling Figure is really and truly, after all, just about ase "adaptable" as are his mobile and erratic Features ! Insomuch, that it comes to us, every now and then, in such an exceedingly " questionable shape" that we are more non-plussed than Hamlet himself, and find it difficult to know how we ought to designate him I "Adoptable" this slim agile figure is to that degree —that it passes in a few minutes through all sorts, any kind, every kind of transformation. Sympa thetically, of course, and simultaneously with the , nagical change, operating like a wizard's charm upon manners, voice, and countenance. Don't we recollect—all of us—the marvel of this amusing spectacle, from the first moment of W. S. Woodin's memorable and exhilarating Apparition ? When, a very young man, only two or three seasons back, he suddenly stepped out of private life before the London public, and fairly took our admiration by storm. Carrying in one hand, a charming Port folio of original drawings, and in the other a cer tlain. marvellous Carpet Bag ! A bag much more wonderful in every way than that famous ono into which the mountebank at a country fair dips for wigs. A Carpet Bag, this one of W. S. Woodin's, into which the Protean Polyphonist dipped at will for faces, voices, forms, costumes, deportments, [ perfectly distinct and separate identities ! Coming forth again—" in a jiffy," instead of after a sleep of a hundred years, like Rip Van Winkle—not Him self but Somebody Else. Triumphant iu the lii at epoch of success, Mr. Woodin—we all remember it —very soon took occasion to prove his remarkable powers as a Polyphonist to be in no way at all exhausted. Accomplishing this new wonder by . !iis Second and, if possible, his still more extraor rlinarily varied and humorous Entertainment— " The Olio of Oddities." That proverbial desideratum of your true hustings politician—your politician of claptraps and flum mery—" a clear stage and no favour" is all W. S. Woodin actually wants by way of either arena or introduction. A "clear stage"—with a pretty little green reading-desk on either side of it—each desk lit by a couple of gas burners mellowed to an agree able lustre by a globular shade of ground-glass—the ld traditional row of footlights of course invisibly edging the front of the proscenium. There, flitting . About that stage—sometimes taking his position be hind one of the little green reading-desks, sometimes behind the other—occasionally stepping down to the footlights—keeping up the ball of converses ion all the while himself, relating anecdotes, cracking jokes, singing songs, Mr. Woodin—a veritable im personation of " Sport that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter holding both his sides" — trails forth the wonderful coil of his magical "Olio of Oddities." Stepping, every now and then, behind the side-scenes to " come out " again the next in stant transformed—absolutely transformed—from top to toe ! No longer the slight stripling figure already alluded to—that of Mr. Woodin himself in propria persona—a young gentleman elegantly attired in full evening costume from the tips of his glazed-leather boots to the tips of his white kid gloves, from the delicate cambric of his necktie to that of his daintily-scented pocket-handkerchief ! But in lieu of hint—the most dissimilar personage imaginable ! "Lady Esther Evergreen"--s-the most charming of old ladies, her hair silvered, her voice quavering, her rich velvet robe of most matronly and venerable amplitude ! " Mr. Gustavus Gebbleton," obese and gluttonous, with a gurgle of gusto in his throat, and a relish for food in the very rub of his hands—a portly comfort -loving, lip-smacking personage, the very pink and pattern of ab ,n viva , it ! Or, most marvellous change of all—such a total "transmog rification" as that effected upon himself by the Polyphonist when he steps upon the boards instead of W. S. Woodin—" Miss Clara Chattaway." A young lady in ringlets and white satin—a low bod dice and a high voice—a coquette and a chatterbox! A laughable rattle-brain "belle of the night," who simpers, and plays the piano, and flutters her fan, and walks, and talks, anddisposes the graceful folds of her flowing skirts when she sits down—just for all the world as any other young lady who is a coquette might do—the young lady in pink glace with whom we danced the polka just now, or the pretty brunette over yonder who is engaged to us—for the next quadrille ! Perhaps, however, still more astonishing than these grand, complete, full-length impersonations of other people, from the crown of his head to the sole of his foot,.by Mr. Woodin—are his kit-kat portraits as we may call them, or, as he himself terms them, his daguerreotypes of this person, that person, and the other, you, me, and everybody— now behind this little reading-desk, , e now oehind that ! Creatures starting up in rapid succession from under the momentarily uplifted lid of the desk aforesaid. Doctor Johnson in his snuff coloured suit, his cauliflower wig, with his o re uipedalia ! Mr. r otunda and his verge sesl Vi7ian Vivid, the moustached exquisite ' with a smattering of criticali q_niddities anent i‘r. m usic and musicians ! V aud yke Brown bearthd like the pard and jabbering with the fluency and slang fluency of another Ruskin, of the atelier, all about the cant of the craft and the mysteries of msthe tics ! The crabbed Old Playgoer in the Pit—bristliag even to his very whiskers ! And best of all (incomparably) " One of the Public" up in the thr m eepeu i n b y gallery—Bill, Jack, or Tom, as the case e, rapturous in his shirt sle evesedetermin in ed tim u a p y o t n having k his full threepen'orth of fun; on e sp s t e a a g - e i speaking termsa ththe with the various occupants,of.:the orchestra; e, jolly folk se grin' ,e 1 ,g a ll . over, not only . n his mouth and eyes, but in the noisy clap of his red hands, in the very cock of his old fur cap, and the slovenly un buttoning of his velveteen waistcoat ! The triumph, however, of triumphs, in the way both of glibness of utterance and rapidity of transfor mation, still remaining for W. S. Woodin in his latest " New S ong ," the grand loco-joko-motive lyric, " Off by the Train"—a marvel of visible and, audible vivacity. Remembering which, we hesitat c not to accord to our young POlyphonist the pall al of pre-eminence over each and all of the Mimes of our acquaiutance—what though among Past and Present he has had to dare comparison with several very notable coospetitors. A letter from Berlin, in the Nuremberg Corre spondent, says :—Russia, in order to hasten the meeting of the second conference, Las declared that she abandons her claim to the Island of Ser pents. The conference will, therefore, have to decide only on the Bolgrad question." THE BOLGRAD DIFFICULTY• The Vienna Correspondent of the Times (Second Edition), in his letter dated Nov. 11, says : " VIENNA, Nov. 11. " Although the Bessarabian frontier question is exactly where it was a week ago, the positions occupied by the great Powers are more clearly defined them was then the case. The St. Peters.. burg and Paris Cabinets aro still desirous that the Paris Congress should decide whether New Bolgrad is to belong to Moldavia or to Russia, but the British, Austrian, and Turkish Governments persist in refusing to authorise their diplomatic agents to resume the Conferences. England questions the right of the Paris Congress to meddle again with the Treaty of Peace, and Austria is of opinion that Russia ought not to be a judge in a cause in which she is the defendan It is well known here that the French Govern• ment has been so imprudent as to make pro, mixes to the Russian Cabinet which it canno fulfil without being faithless to its allies, and there is reason to believe that this Govern ment is now endeavouring to discover some ex- pedient which will enable the Emperor of the French to retreat with honour from the cul-de sac' into which he has been led by Messrs. Walewski and do Morny. As has been said, the Austrian Cabinet does not recognise the justice o the claim of Russia to be a judge in her own cause, but it would hardly refuse to discuss the merits of the Bolgrad question with France, Eng land, and Turkey alone. now would it be if the representatives of the four Allied Powers were to meet in conference and ask each other what they had understood by the words of the treaty—' The now frontier shall pass to the south of Bolgrad.' If they understood by Bol g•rad the place marked in the Russian map as Bolgrad Tabak , the frontier line ought naturally to be drawn to the south of that place, but if they understood by Bolgrad 4 p, town of the same name which was not marked on the map, then M. davia has no just claim to New Bolgrad, and the sooner England, Austria, and Tuikey yield to Russia the better it will be for all parties. Infor. mation has been given me that three days ago the French Government still insisted on New Bolgrad being left in the hands of Russia, but it is difficult to believe that the Monarch who displayed such good faith during the war should now refuse to act up to his engagements. The Russian party in this city avers that selfish motives detain the British fleet in the Black Sea, but the Austrians stoutly refuse to give credit to such a ridiculous statement, and express their convic tion that the British Government will withdraw LATEST N E iIVS 1 - - lions in the provinces.

The Madrid papers of the 10th have arrived. The Epoca contains the following curious para graph :—" For some days past a rumour which is credited has been current : it is that the younger sons of Don Carlos, and also naturally the men who have remained faithful to their cause, are about to acknowledge our Queen. It is hoped that this event will take place before the fete-day of the august princess who occupies the throne. Doubts are still entertained that Count de Montemolino will do what his brothers Don Juan, Don Fernando, and Don Sebastien are said to be prepared to do ; and it is not whether, in case they recog nise the Queen, these princes will come into Spain or will remain abroad. The Epoca says that the salary of members of the Royal Council is to be 60,000 reals. It is now said that M. Pacheco has sent in his resignation as ambassadcr at London, and that it has been accepted. The works of the railways from Madrid to Alicante, Madrid to Sara gossa, Burgos to Valladolid, and Seville to Xerez are being carried on actively ; those of Alicante are nearly terminated. The Portuguese on their part are actively engaged in executing the line which is to unite their country with Spain. The .gersailtalle of Hamburg contains a letter from Frankfort, which says :—" Much has lately been said here respecting the intention of Austria to contract a new loan abroad. In existing circum stances this would be a diflicalt operation." The 01:c»-ita/c di Roma of the Bth officially an nounces the evacuation by the Austrians of all the towns of the Romagna, except Bologna and An cona, and their having been replaced by pontifical troops. At the entreaties of Austria, the Prussian Go vernment has consented to send another note to Denmark on the affair of Holstein. It threatens the Danish Cabinet with carrying the question before the Germanic Diet, if its demands are not complied with. Prussia, however, feels assured that with the present Danish Ministry this note will have no effect, and has already given the rier cessary instructions to M. de Bismark, her rePrc" sentative at Frankfort. its forces from Constantinople as soon as Russia has fulfilled her engagements. The question has been put to me, whether Austria would in case of need, draw her sword in order to force Russia to evacuate the western part of Bessara bia, and I unhesitatingly reply in the negative. If Russia should persist in her refusal to redeem her promise, Austria would simply prolong her occupation of the Danubian Principalities, and defend herself if attacked by Russia. The Aus trians are evidently much less in awe of Russia than they were a couple of years since, but still the high military party would be extremely averse to a war with her." NEUCHATEL. The Swiss General Dufour, whose arrival in Paris has already been announced, is charged by the Federal Council with a mission to the French Government relative to the dif ference between Neuchatel and Prussia. Nego tiations are still pending on this question, which is more important than most people suppose. Hew it will terminate it is difficult to say, but it is believed that both England and France are willing to lend their good offices. The Swiss Go vernment appears satisfied with the view taken by Lord Palmerston, and hopes to be so also with that of the Emperor. The release of the Royalists implicated in the late insurrectionary demonstration is, it appears, demanded as a right by the King of Prussia, and it is this right which is contested. RUSSIAN RAILWAYS. The French Government is determined to set its face against the Russian railroads. It was yesterday intimated to the semi-official journals that they are not to publish advertisements re lating to these railroads. The same journals will probably soon open a rolling fire against the undertaking. The cause of this hostility will bo attributed to the fact that the railroads are less with a view to commercial advantages than for strategic purposes. The Marquis Antonini, says the second edition of the Times, received his passports, and will pro bably leave Paris for Brussels to-morrow or Mon day, with all the members of the Legation. Some pretend that he will be absent only 15 days, and that during that interval the affair with Naples will be arranged. This is very doubtful. Intelligence from Constantinople of the 7th states that all the Ministers remain in office, ex cept the Granl Vizier, Aali Pacha. The Epoca, of yesterday, says it is not true that the Spanish government has invited Queen Chris tina to return to Spain. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. We read in the Momiteur :—Foreigners who be longed to the French armies, and who may have a right to participate in the benefit of the testamen tary provisions of Napoleon 1., frequently: make applications to the Minister of Foreign Affairs for information which he cannot furnish them with until the commission charged with the distribution ut the sum which will be allott,:d to each shall have terminated its labours.
