It is doubtless a delicate ?natter to solicit interference in the affairs of a neighbourin g people. But we have bad numerous examples, an,2 without being out of order I may remind you that in itie sad and fatal Atlantic the French Government thought it right conduct is o war which desolates the countries beyond to °fief its mediation. Ido not think that suell the if the Government has tn as t p i t : e r i t r e desirous of seeing t ,:; . !1 end of such a struggle, and oven to any reproach. Every one is some observations to America 11: % . , -, tight that it could offer has done so from a sense of duty.

It was because the King of Naples dt that the French and English Cabinets thought it, followed by the rupture of diplomatic relations. Iu this c:;se the question is one of humanity, and that towards a nation which has every claim to our re, spect and affection, and which c in invoke promises made, but never fulfilled. The most savage and the most arbitrary system of recruitment has just thrown all the youth of Poland into despair, and no one can tell what may be the result of such a state of things. All we know is that right is on the side of the vic tims. In thus speaking on the subject, I wish only , to make a pretest in the name of justice and huma nity. In the first ages of Christianity it was to the Church that belonged the glorious pri vilege of protecting the weak and of struggling against the strong. It is not for me to say how the Church, allied with Caesar, has in the present day lost the privilege of that fine patronage. (Murmurs.) However that may be, there is now a genius which has again come to protest in favour of right and of the weak, and 'chat genius is France. The genius of France has a right to make its voice heard. One word from France might alleviate the misfortunes of Poland. Do not forget those who hold out their blood-stained hands towards you ; do not deceive their hopes. I request the Government to give some explanations on the subject. THF, JOINT-STOCK DISCOUNT COMPANY (Limited). To be Ineorporwed under " The companies Act, 1862," with _ .

Together they may count on about 25 or 30 votes. lied the elections of Sparta, Argos, and t-he Maine passed, things might have been different, for as the members for these places were all more or less returned by the interest of Mavromichali family, the Minister of War, who belongs to this fatuity and who all along has been pulling together with the President, might have brought over a considerable Parliamentary array. eons( quet,ers. Cases were quoted of the first As sembly in 1843, in which members who had voted against influential persons had to rue for it. The Mountain repudiated this notion, and voices were heard, "We will protect you ;" but when it came to the vote there were 102 for and as many against. As the temporary President, who voted like the rest, had no casting vote, the amendment was lost ; but the result did not satisfy the '" Mountain," so they tried the issue once more on the question whether the vote given referred only to the election of the functionaries of the Assembly, or to the whole paragraph of the rules proposing secret voting for all personal questions. It was decidedly bad tactics to venture on such uncertain ground with a weakly organized force, and the result was to change what was a drawn battle into a decided defeat.

GRAN D OPERATIC SELECTIONS, as usual, conducted by Mr. Jonghmans. The screw steimsbip Mars, 81, 400 horse power, Capt. J. N, Strange, lately returned from the Mediterranean, wls paid elf at the Nore on S itur day, under the superintendence of Capt. C. Wise, aide-de-cimp to the Queen, and superintendent of the dockyard. Notwithstanding the large number of men composing the crew, and the considerable stun paid away, the work of paying the ship's company was completed early in the afternoon. The Mars was commissioned on the 20th of June, 1859, and has since been attached to the Medi terranean squadron. The captain, commander, and the greater part of the officers originally ap pointed have returned in her. The ship's company was remarkably healthy, and through the exertions of the chaplain, the Rev. S. W. Payne, the temperance movement had made great progress on board. Prior to the vessel being paid off on Satur day Capt. Strange assembled the•ship's company, and expressed to them the pleasure he had experi enced in having commanded such a generally well behaved crew, and the hope he had that he might again meet with most of them in any future ship to which the Admiralty might appoint him. He then presented Corporal E. Everest, Royal Marines, with a silver medal, which, together with a gratuity of £5, had been awarded him by the Lords of the Ad miralty for long service and good conduct. The Mars will be placed in the third division of the Chatham Steam Reserve until again required for commission. T H E 0 X F 0 It I), 6. OXl•'OltD STREET. Re-appearance of Miss Russell.

From the Journals of WILLIAM JOHN WILLS. With a Biographical M. moir by his Father, WILLIAM WILLS. These preliminary combats and their result had taken off a good deal of the keenness which would otherwise have been shown in the struggle for the Presidency. As the functionaries of the Assembly are to be re-elected every month, it was not so very important who was the first President. The Plain had even at the last hour been unable to find a man of their own ; and, besides, there was per sonally no objection to Balbi, proposed by the Mountain. Thus it came that when yesterday the Assembly met for the election of its President, every one knew that Balbi would be named with a large majority. And so it proved; he had 155 votes out of 207, the rest being some for Moraitini, the President of Areopagus, a man who was on both lists as first Vice-President; some for Kriesi, the temporary President; and 29 blanks, which every one knew meant the friends of the President, and of his candidate, Riga Palamedes. The President elect, a little old man with a white moustache and short cut whiskers, was called up and assumed the chair which was vacated by his predecessor, after a few words of thanks to the Assembly, which elicited well-merited applause. Although scarcely equal to the task of keeping dis cipline in so undisciplined a body, he has worked to the best of his powers, and with a good humour and patience which has conciliated to him the good • will of every one. M. Tricoupi, late Greek Minister in London, and now representing the Greeks of Manchester, proposed a vote of thanks, which was carried by acclamation. The new President like wise addressed the Assembly, calling upon it to help him in his task, which otherwise would be come impossible. The election of the Vice-Presidents was more in teresting than that of the President as a trial of strength. There was little question about the first, Moraitini, for he figured on both lists, and was elected by a large majority. The second on the list of the " Plain" was Loudos of Patras, and he was elected by 116 votes, 20 of these bearing his name alone, and supposed to have been given by the party of Canaris, which, although usually with the Mountain, is said to have had an objection to voting for the second candidate of this latter, Boudouri of Hydra, who, in consequence of this defection, ob tained only 87 votes, which are reckoned to belong to the Mountain alone. To-day the two other Pre sidents are to be voted for among those who had the greatest relative majorities yesterday. Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. POSPCTUS.

Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam sloop Alecto, commissioned by Commander Blake, was hauled out of the fitting basin at Woolwich on Saturday, in readiness for sea. Her destination is stated to be the south-east coast of America, to receive the Ar dent, ordered home. The Alecto takes out a small number of supernumerary officers for the 51 gun frigate Forte now on that station on account of the large number of ablebodied and continuous service seamen returned from leave during the past fort night, and berthed on board the flagship Fisgard at Woolwich, now amounting to upwards of 300 men. The second-class lads entered weekly for the train ing and receiving ships Implacable and Impregna ble at Devonport are ordered to be transferred to the Hebe hulk during their detention at Woolwich. These lads during the past month have fallen short of the required number (although a great many have presented themselves for admission), on account of the regulations which are strictly observed. These are as follows :—" No boys, under any circumstances, will be entered under the age of 14, or over 16. They must be well grown and stout, of perfectly sound and healthy constitution, free from all physical mal formation, and intelligent, and they must produce their register of birth, or declaration thereof made before a magistrate. The consent of their parents or nearest relatives must be given in writing, and the boy himself must be willing and desirous to enter. Candidates must proceed to Woolwich at their own expense, and present themselves at the Fis , ard's office on each Thursday morning at ten o'clock, and, if rejected, will have to return at their own expense." " M. Billault—The Government does not think it opportune to enter on the discussion of the question which is submitted to you. France has lost none of her old sympathies for Poland, but she thinks, and the Government thinks with her, that the autonomy of that kingdom would have more to expect from the generous and liberal sentiments of the present Emperor of Russia, than in any insurrectional at tempt, the efforts for which can only bring down fresh disasters on that unfortunate country.

It is more than a month since the Assembly met, and it has but just finished the preliminary work of constituting itself. It elected its President and two of its Vice-Presidents yesterday and is going to elect the other two Vice-Presidents and the four Secretaries to-day. This is much quicker than it ever was done under the old regime, when Deputies had salaries, and therefore never arrived at a true appreciation of the value of time, and the work to be done was greater, as the number of elections to be verified was much larger, and as new rules had to be drawn up for the Assembly and discussed. These preliminary formalities, which in ordinary times and a settled state of things might have been con sidered as entailing loss of time, proved under ex isting circumstances of great value. When the Assembly met all was enveloped in dark haze. The greater portion of it consisted of new men unknown and untried, while those who had played a part in politics before were scattered and divided; thus, all elements of party organiza tion seemed to be wanting. The six weeks taken by the preliminary formalities have developed these elements to a certain point, although even after this delay they are in very little beyond an embryo state. The process of development was not without in terest in a small place where every one knows every one else, and where everybody's movements are care ful ly watched, known, and commented upon. A kind of political chroniques scandaleuse reported every day the changes in the situation. To facilitate party or ganisation, political clubs were tried on the model of the " Rhigas Phereos," which dates from the first days of the revolution. Scarcely a week passed without announcing the birth of a new one by placards all over the town. One day it was "The Holy Struggle;" another day it was the " Popular Opinion," or the Club of Athenians which was an nounced in a more or less pompous way, and found its organs in the press. But the plant was an exotic which did not prosper .on Athenian soil, where politics always loved seclusion anu mystery. Not one of the more prominent men takes an active part in them, although his name may figure on the list of one or another of these clubs; the most of them drag on a dreary, inoffensive existence little known and less cared for. Small social meetings, private interviews, proposals carried about by third parties, were resorted to rather than public discussions in clubs to arrive at arrangements. Such and such a representative, said the chrontque, passes his even ings at the house of such a Minister. Such a mem ber of Government has made such proposals to such and such an influential party chief. M. So and So has been running about to arrange a meeting between such and such persons, and so on. It you watched the visible effect of all this under hand activity the impression was, that the greater the activity the smaller the result, and after six weeks of this work the Assembly is organised in groups rather than parties. The Provisional Government was formed under too exceptional circumstances to contain the germs of stability. Even before the Assembly met it had been divided into several fraction'', which have now come into the foreground. There is first that of the President of the Provisional Government himself, possessing by far the clearest head and the strongest will among his colleagues; he has been all along the soul of the Government, carrying through most of his views in spite of the strong opposition which he encountered occasionally. Had these views been elevated enough he might stand there now as the most prominent man of his seekin g country, the representative of those ideas which state of thin ßP, , every one almost of hi s act i ons triampbed on the 10th of October ; but he was too much s a t urate d h i mself w i t h th e o ld l e aven of nepotism and sma ll party sp i r it, so th a t i n stead of to pr e p are the way for a new an d soun de r to be on l y calculated to insure the longest seemed possible enjoyment of the high p os ition in which placed by he had been circumstances. He tried to make fri en d s When h e . ought to have done good to his country, and now th at has come, the friends, seein g h is M? time of a cc ounting have vanished one by one , precari ous p os ition, , so that he would remain almost alone were it not for an old acquaintance and colleague, Riga Palamedes, who has th rown in his lot with him. This latter, who i s not without influ ence in his native province of Tri l't po za and in the Oid Admiral Cinaris, a rtif mber of the Provisional Government, leads the second fraction. A bo;d sailor once, b u t never a po li t i c i an , a n d now , more over, ar. old m an , his name, one of the most respected for honesty, has been more than once a rallying flag in a country where political corruption was the order of the day. But it is just this honesty and single-mindedness which atrracts schemers, and the schemers frighten away those who might have been disposed to rally under his flag. It was only with difficulty that he was prevailed upon to enter into the Provisional Government, and he has kept aloof from affairs, besides being ill most of the time. He can reckon on about 20 votes. The third fraction arose from a combination of the members of the Ministry who have proved a stand ing opposition to the tendency of the President to mono! olise all power in his own hands. This fraction has more the prospect of becoming a political party than the former two. At its head are Zaimi, the Minister of the Interior, and Comondouros, the Minister of Justice. The former, a son of Andreas Zaimi, one of the most influential Moreote primates, has himself fignrei among the Parliamentary Op position in the reign of King Otho. Although still a young man, he was proposed by the Opposition in 1859 as President of the Chamber, and was elected in spite of the efforts of the Court and King, who dissolved the Chamber in consequence. Co mondouros, although row Minister of Justice, is admitted to be the best financial head in Greece, and gets credit for being one of the cleverest poli tical partisans. As he has, like Zaimi, considerable influence in come parts of the Morea, the union between the twa has become a centre for the More ote party, just as the name of Grivas has become the rallying point for the Roumeliote interest. But Grivas, the the Mountain, re presents merely Roumeliote interest, of Zaimi-C omon d ouros. I t ten d s as oo s me the eote hs tn a h r g e t y mp oarr of et y to attract all those who have played a pert in poli tics before, and in general those who think the un compromising disposition of the Mountain impracti cable. Moderation and compromise is its motto, and it has accordingly received the name of the "Plain " denoting its antagonism to the Mountain swtritallitsiPnucriles. Most purist tendency and its predil ec ti on f or ab et pripof the political notabilities of the old regime have joined it more or less, so that not only in number but in political experience and talent of debate it is certainly the strongest fraction in the Assembly. It numbers from 70 to 80 members. I have given you a sketch of the Mountain be fore. It was the first in the field, and seemed at one moment fairly in the way of carrying every thing with it. In a constituent Assembly, which has met to remedy the abuses and corporation of a long reign, a flag with the motto, " Principles, and not men," could not but have a large attraction f o r all new men ; but it had at the same time the inhe rent weakness that its motto could not always be acted upon in a case where there is little difference as to principles, and where, nevertheless, men were required to carry out the principles. At the first occasion, therefore, when a question of persons oc curred, the Mountain split. The list was to be made for the commissions which were to verify the elections, and Deligorgi, the Minister for Public Worship, and himself an influential and ambitious young Roumeliote, seceded, carrying off with him some 20 men. This split has never been 'mended, and the fraction of Deligorgi has been oscillating ever since between the Mountain and the Plain. These latter two are so evenly balanced in numbers that they have both tried to fix those who slide along the slope, but their efforts have hitherto been in vain. The debate on the election of the Presidents and Vice-Presidents of the Assembly, as well as the elec tion itself, has brought out for the first time the relative strength of those parties or groups which I have sketched. As has been the case all along, the Mountain was the first ready with its candidate. Weeks ago it was known that Balbi, one of the re presentatives of Missolonghi, was the candidate of the Mountain. A lawyer by profession, he had before represented his native place in the Chamber, and hall earned both there and as Minister of Finance a name for upright honesty and unbending character, which, among his enemies, went under the name of obstinacy. As he had played but a secondary part, in politics, he possessed the valuable quality of not being objectionable to any one. None of the other fractions could find a candidate half as good. In vain was meeting after meeting held ; they produced no result. The only other name that was brought forward was that of Riga Palamedes by the friends of the President, but the very men tion of his name produced such an opposition that it was soon dropped. Not being able to find a candidate of their own, the " Plain," which is often accused of looking into and studying assiduously the reports of the French Constituante in 1848, conceived the idea of imitating the latter, and proposing the election of four Presi dents, who should preside in turns. It seemed a strange way of getting out of the difficulty. Not being able to find one good candidate, they tried to find four. When, therefore, the first paragraph of the new rules was brought forward fot discussion, Calliges, one of the best lawyers and a representa tive of Attica, developed the idea in a neat set speech; he was followed by several other clever debaters, but the National Assembly of Greece is the last body which is likely to be swayed by speeches —every one had mode up his mind on the subject. As it was known that the friends of the President, unable to carry their candidate, Riga Palamedes, would vote for the four Presidents, it was expected that the Mountain would be left in the minority. The vote proved the contrary, for the Assembly rejected by 105 against 981 he amend ment 'Deligorgi and his " sliders" had slid up to the Mountain. The explanation given is, that he wanted to " house" Balbi, so as to have him out of the way when the question of the formation of a new Government comes on the tapis. But the "Plain" would not be beaten. So, as soon as the first excitement caused by the unex pected result was over, it mustered its forces and brought forward an additional paragraph proposed by Saripulo, one of the members for the University to the effect that the election of the President and Vice-Presidents, as well as of the Secretaries, should be renewed every month. This was more or less upsetting the first vote just given, or, at any rate, depriving it of all its value. It was late in the afternoon ; the excitement of the first vote had made honourable members more fidgety than usual at that late hour, and there are no whippers-in where there are as yet no regularly constituted parties. The result was that by a vote of 103 against 99 the proposal for re-electing the Presidents, Vice-Presi dents, and Secretaries was carried. This was on Monday. Next day was another field -day. The 48th paragraph of the rules came to be discussed. It proposes that the election of the functionaries of the Assembly, and all personal questions, should be decided by secret vote by ballot. The contrary principle had been adopted from the very beginning b y acclamation, but now that the definitive rules were discussed the question was taken up. There was much talking on both sides, the chief argument for voting by ballot being that the long misrule had ren d ere d people t i m id, and that there was an apprehension that some would not dare to v„ to freely for fear of personal , There is one feature in this contest far Presi dent and Vice-President of the Assembly which promises well for the future struggle as to the Government which is to follow next. None of the parties cr groups seemed strong enough to carry a candidate by its own strength, and at one time it seemed almost hopeless to attain any result. Yet at the last moment an arrangement was come to which, if it does not satisfy all parties, nevertheless solves the difficulty by a sort of compromise. The Plain gained the point as to the temporary character of the President, and yielded, in its turn, to the Mountain in accepting its candidate. The difficulty is no doubt greater with respect to anew Government. Every one has his list, but there is neither a chance of any party carrying its candi dates, nor of two or more combining. The idea is therefore gaining ground to have no Provisional Government at all, but Ministers chosen directly by the Assembly, every one for his place, and respon sible; the most aged to preside, or every member i❑ regular rotation. The scheme seems, certainly, the best way out of the difficulty, and as such it has no small advantages. It brings responsibility home to the Ministers, who can now recure themselves behind their colleagues, and there are no enemies at the door to require great concentration of power in the Executive. The National Assembly is the only legal power in the country; it is universally recog nised and looked up to ; all that is wanted is to have men to carry on the current business dur ing the short interregnum. The only thing to be desired is that the Assembly shall be content to control, and not meddle with the Executive. Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The fine screw corvette Racoon, 22, 400 horse power, Captain the Count Victor Gleichen, fitting in the Medway to convey his Royal Highness Prince Alfred on a special cruise, has been removed from dock, and is now moored off the west shore, where she is being completed for sea with all possible de spatch. The Racoon was constructed at Chatham dockyard a few years back from the designs of Ad miral Sir Baldwin Walker, the then surveyor of the navy, and is sister ship to the Clio, Cadmus, and some other vessels of that class. She differs only from a frigate in having no broadside guns placed on her upper deck. She has on her gun deck 18 8-inch 68 pounder smooth bore guns, for throw ing either shot or shell, and two 40 pounder Arm strongs ; and on her fighting deck she has two 110 pounder Armstrong pivot guns. The Racoon has but recently undergone a thorough repair and refit at Chatham dockyard. It is stated that Prince Al fred has himself selected the Racoon for his cruise from having admired her so much when in the Me diterranean. Tile Racoon is fitted for service on the Home Station at present, and it is rumoured at Chatham that she will visit Norway, Sweden, and Denmark prior to proceeding to Australia, which is understood to be her ultimate destination. A picked band of 12 musicians will be attached to the Racoon during the time she is in commission. Rear-Admiral Robinson, the controller of the navy, went down to Chatham dockyard on Satur day for the purpose of inspecting the progress made with the iron and iron plated vessels under con struction at that establishment. After transacting some business with Captain Fanshawe, superinten dent of the dockyard, the controller,accompanied by Mr. Lang, master shipbuilder, and Mr. Hutchens, one of his assistants, visited the iron frigate Achilles, 50, the iron plated frigate Royal Oak, 34, and the iron paddlewheel steamer Recruit, 6. Every hand now employed in the dockyard has been removed from the wooden ships, and the whole of the exer tions of the'establishment are at present devoted to the completion of the squadron of iron vessels. The Achilles, which is by far the most important vessel of any of those in hand, has made rapid progress during the last few months, there being now up wards of 1,000 hands employed exclusively on this ship. The first of her armour-plates has been confidently al ready bolted to her sides, and it is ne asserted that she will be completed and in six months from the present time.

Capt. Joyce's No. 9 battery, 6th brigade Roy al Artillery, from Portsmouth, arrived at Woolwich on Friday, and left again on Saturday for Shoe buryness, to go through a course of instruction in gunnery, to replace Capt. M'Kenzie's No. 6 bat tery 13th brigade, which arrived at Woolwich from Shoeburyness on the same day. A large number of promising recruits for the Royal Artillery have been brought into garrison at Wool wich during the past month, and were transferred in batches of 40 each to the depot butteries at War ley and Shoeburyness for instruction and drill. During the past week the division at Aldershott has been exercised in route - marching under its respective brigadiers. On Thursday the Royal Horse Artillery and the Field Batteries marched out, the A battery, 4th brigade, with the 401 b. Arm strong guns, under the command of Capt. Stirling. This battery consists of four of these heavy guns, each drawn by 12 horses, with six drivers ; and four waggons drawn by 6 horses each, with three drivers. On the same day the Cavalry Brigade, under the command of Brigadier-General Hodge proceeded to the common, where they marched and trotted past in open column of squadrons, subsequently per forming several field movements before returning to barracks. On Tuesday the Ist Infantry Brigade, under the dotnmand of Major-General Brook Tay lor, formed up on the Brigade-parade, about half past 9, and at 10 marched out in the direction of Farnham, taking the Odinanr.road. After passing the tollgate, they had advanced about a mile in that direction, when a heavy shower of rain obliged them to return to quarters. The 3d Infantry Brigade marched out on Thurs day, under the command of Major-General David Russell, on outpost duty, throwing out pickets and taking up different positions. The amateur theatrical performances at the club house, South Camp, Aldershott, continue to main tain their popularity and attract large audiences. On Wednesday evening the officers of the staff and division performed the comedy o f "Still Waters Run Deep," and the farce of " A Thumping Legacy." The next performance, which is to take place on the 13th inst., is to be in aid of the Hospital for Sol diers' Wives, South Camp. Within the last few days preparations for laying the foundation stone of the Aldershot Mission Hall and Soldiers' Institute have been actively pushed forward. The ceremony will be performed on Wed nesday by the Earl of Shaftesbury, in the presence of the local authorities and a number of influential persons who have been invited to attend. A public meeting will be held on the occasion in the Alder shot Assembly Rooms." The 96th Regiment, stationed at Shorncliffe, with its depot at Chichester, is ordered to embark at Portsmouth on Saturday next on board the screw troopship Himalaya, Capt. Lacy, for conveyance to the Cape of Good Hope. The baggage of the regi ment will be embarked on the previous day. The Ist battalion 6th Foot, at present stationed s at to Gosport, is expected to shortly receive orders proceed to Aldershot. A column has been erected o o t nhetheemory Esplanade, ship of the Southsea beach, Portsmout, sett Y ' Chesapeake officers and men of her Maj who were killed or died during the ships last com mission. We are informed that it can now be relied upon before starting from our homes in the morning whether the day will be wet, windy, or fine. Negretti and Zambra have invented a barometer which accurately indi cates the weather. It is made with an upright tube in verted into a cistern, both being charged with mercury. Attached to the frame on either side is a small thermometer, one with an uncovered bulb to indicate the temperature, the other with a wet bulb, which acts by capillary attraction, and so forms cud unerring hygrometer. It is denominated the Fitzroy barometer. ADVER TISMIENT.I—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— Lumbago, rheutnat.sm, tic doloreux, all excruciating pains ot the mu sc l es an d nerves are re li eve d w i th aston i s hi ng ra pidity by the use of this extraordinary ointment.

The cure is neither temporary nor superficial, but perpailg s and complete, and the disease rarely recurs; so perfect _ et j been the purification performed by these searchin g harmless preparations. " M. Jules Favre—That is the counterpart of the famous expression, Order reigns at Warsaw.' (Murmers.) History will judge of the words of the hon. Minister, and of what there is disastrous in them. (Renewed murmurs.) " M. Billault—What is really disastrous are the deceitful excitements to sentiments of patriotism, the powerless efforts of which can only lead to fresh misfortunes. (Numerous marks of assent.) "M. Sales Favre—M. le President, I beg leave to reply one word, for it is impossible that the discus sion can be closed in this manner. The Minister has just spoken of insurrection; but has he defended treaties—has he taken care that they should not be forgotten ? Is it astonishing that a people who sees all its rights violated should have recourse to arms ? Will you deny that the Poles have been deceived, not in their dreams or Utopias, but in the accomplish ment of destinies that have been formally promised ? Can France be really brought to such a point that whenever there is a struggle between right and might she constantly takes part with the latter, de claring that those who revolt to obtain the execution of solemn promises are insurgents destined to perish miserably ? "M. B aroche—The Government of the Emperor has too much sense to give deceitful encouragement to insurrectionary passions by any vain words ; and it is too jealous of its e vol. dignity—of that of France—to allow useless pbrases and vain protes tations to be repeated in the addresses of fifteen consecutive years. (Applause,) "The Marquis de Mortemart—l wish to say a word about Greece and the Greek loan, part of which has been guaranteed by France. The inte rest of this loan found a place in our financial laws last year, and no one murmurs at this annual pay ment. I would ask whether the revolution which has just occurred in Greece might not be an oppor tuniLy for claiming the payment of what Greece owes us ? (Interruption.) " Numerous Voices—And how are the I3reeks to pay ? " The Marquis de Mortemart—lt is true that were France to make that claim it might not per haps be attended to. But, then, may we not claim a territorial guarantee? The Eastern crisis will, according to all appearances, end in the death of the sick man: The French Government will no doubt take measures to protect the interests of the country. That will be better, I imagine, than re signing oneself to the sanction of a fait accompli. The Eastern question may be easily terminated if all the Powers imitate the frankness and disinte restedness of France. " Paragraph 2 was then put to the vote and adopted. " The discussion was then again adjourned." HOLLOWAY LITERARY INSTITUTE.--On Tuesday eveningDr.Bradsbawgave a lecture at this institution on "Food and Digestion." He commenced by exhibiting and explaining large diagrams of the " fearfully and won derfully made" structure of the human frame, so admi rably constructed for the purpose of conveying nutritious food to the vital organs of the body. The lecture realised that great desideratum, the union of the useful and enter taining, though usually regarded as a dry and abstruse theme. Being interspersed with anecdote and quotation, its profound research and philosophical analysis were im bued throughout with an almost poetical glow of Can more commmentary, and an eloquence not readily surpassed. Its chief theme was that curse of an overwrought and luxurious civilisation—indigestion—its preventives, its cure, and its causes, whether attributable to excessive, de ficient, :or defective food, or to reckless addicti . on to ardent spirits and tobacco, often conducing to morbiddneos irri tability, delirium tremens, monomania, and even ma dness . During the lecture Dr. Bradshaw introdu c ed ,, some is the only quo tations from. Horace, who says that the ed freeman and king, except . when trouble d with sag indigestion -" i rds of Lady Macbeth, and from Shakespere, who, appetite t a h n e d w go h od digestion."

Dr. Bradshaw briefly re sponded, and thus terminated a highly intellectual and gratifying re-union. THE TURKISH EXHIBITION.—We take the fol lowing from the Levant Herald of January 28:- 4 Since our hi st, the contributions of Saida, Beyrout, Seres, Aiden, Silistria, and Roustchuk have been received. Of these, the samples of produce and manufactured gocda from Athens and Sexes are considered very inferior, and telegraphic instructions have consequently been sent to the kaiinakenis of both places to supplement them with such further specimens as will save both one and the other from positive discredit in the forthcoming display. A. very pretty and ingenious steam engine has been sent by a native inventor from Salonica, embodying some, it is said, at least new, if not mechanically valuable, fea tures of construction. The native engineer of the Olte nitza screw corvette has also sent in a model of a marine engine of very considerable merit and beauty of finish, while from Silistria and Roustchuk a revolver and a six-shot rifle of novel construction have been forwarded by Turkish in ventors. The guild of mother-of-pearl 'workers of Stam boul have contributed some very elaborate specimens of their work; among others a bookcase very curiously orna mented with inlayings of great beauty and delicacy of exe cution. We are glad to learn that nine English agricultural implement makers have applied for space, while only one from France and another from Vienna are as yet in thecom petitive field against them. This is as it should be, consi dering our unapproach e d exce ll ence o f d es i gn a n d construe• tion in every variety of agricultural mechanism." ale. qr. per tho re e at Lavo , 12. . 10. fe of Jurlo [earl 'CIO' ; Of el 1076 Trig g ' hunt, IPPCr ustal 010'1 gar- ptlrkt ,rse)7, the ;hard alarm near 01.
