TDB. RIGBT HON. W. E. GLADSTONE. Yesterday seventeen years had passed since the foundation of the Liverpool Collegiate Institution was laid, and 14 years had elapsed since the open ing of the schools. The Rev. Mr. Howson, the highly gifted and much respected Principal, availed himself of the opportunity to follow the examp net the great public schools of the country, and a day apart as a "Founders' day." At half-past 11 the whole of the boys from the three schools met the governors and several of the founders in the great hall. Among those present on the platform were--the Right lion. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., Mr. Brwn, M.P. ; Revs. D. M`Neile, A.rclidea con Jones, D. Hirsch, Cowan, Anderson, Dr. 33:glee, Principal, H. P. Linton (Divinity Lec turer), and H. G-. Vernon (chaplain of St. Aidan's College), H. Jones, Barry, John Stewart Apple ton, Lawrence, Denny, and Dr. Hillcoat ' • Alder man Cooper, My. , M. Gregeon, Mr. Josias Booker, the Rev. C. W. Underwood, of the upper school ; Rev. J. Cox, head master of the middle school ; and Mr. J. Michod, head master of the lower school ; also the studonts of St. Aidan's College, cf which institution the 11ev. J. S. Howson is one of the council. _ _ _ The Rev. Mr. HOWSON (Principal) took the chair, and, after a hymn had boeu sung, addressed the meeting. Mr. GLADSTONE, on rising,. was received with loud cheers. He said,—Mr. Principal and gentle men, and—l scarcely know how to address you, the principal portion of my audience ; I cannot call you fellow-townsmen, for you are not Liverpool men yet, and lam hardly a Liverpool man ; but I Was what you now are—a Liverpool boy, and therefore, if you will allow me, I will call you fel lo w-townboys. And I assure you cordially that that name is no more than a faithful and significant sign of the interest that I earnestly feel in your wel fare, and of the satisfaction and pleasure which it gives me to come among you, and to witness the results of the devoted labours of those who are employed in giving you instruction. (Loud cheers.) I have but little to say to you, for the limitation of my own time is in point of fact, your surest security that I should not unduly trespass on your patience. till.ut my first duty is to congratulate you, sir, on what we have seen here to-day. There is no situation more hon ourable—nose more arduous than such a situation as you fill, and none, I will confidently say, which gives to those who perform it a stronger claim upon the sympathy and support of the community ; be cause, although your labours are not unrewarded substantially, yet they are labours which severely - task the ener'gie,s both of mind and body, and their are labours of which the reward, substantial as it is, is one little appreciated by vulgar minds. I trust, sir, you will always continue to receive that which, after the favour of the Almighty and the approval of your own conscience, which I have no doubt you most value in heart—the reward of a future distinc tion—but above all, the gratitude and affection of your boys. And certain I am, from the sight 1 have seen, that the relation which subsists between them and their teachers is not founded on those vulgar and false ideas which schools of a certain fashion one.: brought, unhappily into vogue' ; but they are the relation of paternal care and love and confi dence of the admiration and affection of the boys. (Chearree You have reminded us to-day, sir, of the youthfulness of this institution. I think you said the schools were opened in 1843—that is to say, they are 14 years old, or, in other words, I believe they have come to the years of discretion ; and if what I have seen to-day be the result which they have produced in the early state of their minority, they are such as, I think, augur well for the future. (0 eers.) It is true, undoubtedly, that you have but little of the stores of classical lore in which the universities abound ; but you have, I hope, in your Principal a representative of the great institution to which he belongs, and he has, I trust, before him a long career of constantly in creasing and accumulating honour, ripe manhood, answerable to the vigorous youth of the college over which you have presided, and then a green old age, such as is the happy lot of rainy similarly engaged in this favoure 1 country—the green old age of which it is the double characteristic to have attained to full maturity of wisdom, but to have lost no thing of primitive and original vigour. Now, sir, am ashamed to venture even a single remark on the subject of education, which you have handled s) ably and so widely in the discourse we have heard from you. But one word I will venture to say, fur it is no more than just to you, considering I have taken the liberty of coming among you to day. I do not enter into the question which you have opened—that most important question be tween what is called the public-school system of , England and the schools conducted upon the basis of this great institution, which do not, as a general rule, imply the necessity of the removal of boys Loin under the parental roof ; but I think we can all feel that the differences of the institutions are alinirably suited to the differences in character, and that both the schools that are founded on what you term the public-school system, and like wise the college of the nature of that over which you preside, may find ample and abundant scope in educating the youth of England, may each of them by its own proper functions satisfy a want which it would impossible for either of them to satisfy if they steol alone. I have no doule', sir, that you borrow largely from those ancient and venerable institutions the sacred fire, if so I might call it, that has so long burnt upon your altars ; nor have I any more doubt, on the other side, that those institutions have much to learn from you, and that they likewise will learn it ; that, through the medium of your career and experience in an inslitutioia like this, they will practically and ex perimentally learn the nature and direction of the changes and extensions that they must make in their system, aid how and when to apply those changes. And if it be the characteristic of change in the educational establishments of this country that it is ordinarily slow, yet we are fully entitled, on the other hand, to say that it has been almost in variably sure and safe, and that the best of that sure loss and saftty is that we never perceive a disposition to recede from that ground whichhas once been made no unwise and hasty adaptation of experiments an at andonnsent of which, after theyhave been adopted, would entirely shake the confidence of the youth of this c,,untry in their teachers in the institutions where they are receiving their education. I greatly rejoice to think of the manner in which, in the sceools of this country, the union of an ancient classical training with those important accomplish ments which are demanded by the specific events of the age, and by the various classes of the comenu n ty, is carried out. I cordially rejoice that the disposition to adopt these extensions is now felt— and I will venture to speak more confidently of the institutions with which I have the honour of being most intimately connected—in the University of Oxford, and I believe also in the University of Cam bridge, and they will, with no reluctant and no lag gard hand, be found co-operating with you, arid lending you all that is within their power of sup port and assistance; viewing you, not as antago nists, not as rivals, but as co-operators and friends in the great work in which you are so well engaged. And from what we hive seen and heard to-day I in convinced, if I needed to be convinced, that the mode of teaching here pursued is not pursued as an ohjecb of ambition to the master—not as a mere m , ans of making daily bread—not with the mere v ew of attaining temporary popularity, but under the deep conviction that life is a serious and earnest matter ; that the daily duties to be done by us all, by you who aro growing up, as well as by us en eaged in its labour and its battle—that those daily &vies are matters of record before the et, rnal throne ; and that, as it is, there is nothing more miserable than the destruction of a human soul and its depravation ; and that, on the other hand, DO: hing in the existence of man is more glorious than the training and developing of the human oul in all its powers and capacities to answer the purpose for which the Almighty has sent ni into the world. (Cheers.) Now, sir, I re joke to think that this institatiln w;11 be, as I believe it is, an important moans of strength ening the connexion between Liverpool and the ancient universities of the country. I never visit— ': frankly own, I never visit this great seat of enter ran and commerce without deeply wishing that that connexion gould be strenethened and extended, for if it could, i twould be for the ' benefit of both parti( a. Th en 1 u 'vFities can't aff or d t o l oose their hold of places I, ke l7 .4 B• verpoel or Manchester ; and we—with very great r Qt'4aPff:'oertd say it--Liverpool. and Mancheste r , without great detri ment, to see the canno destruction ' of their c onnex i on with the universities. (L oud cheers.) orl r osi- The old universities of the county joie They have no long er a monop o ly of alter ed life. M any letrni ug ed of the accomplishments of eiviliee of the most distinguished men, many of the most accomplished men, are and will be reared from this time forward, as they have been for several gene , , L tiona, and perhaps in an increasing degree, apart from these ancient universitice. At the same time I think an impartial of server will see that those ancient universities have laid their foundations both broad and deep in the social life of this country, and that f or a l on g period—long,, long after the youngest of us has laid his bones in the grave—it moil). probably still remain true that Oxf o rd a nd Ambrid ge will be to our children, as they have been to our forefathers, the (Treat fountain head of mental culture- 7 th e which other s pattern and the standard after Imo have to follow well must be co n t ented to p and hope to do co - y e all know that everything depends upon iu cases of this kind * W this question, How high will you hold your standard According to the heightof • - • the highest educating body will be the recognised heiiiit o f i nst i tutions of this kind. Whatever raises Oxford or Cam bridge will raise schools of this description. What ever lowers Oxford or Cambridge will lower these also. And if from these go forth the moat abun dant and fertilisingstreamsfor human culture, then, I say, it is an honour, and an ornament, and a benefit to Liverpool that by the energies of her own citizens has been founded an institution like this, which tends to place the flower of her youth in schools in more vital connection with those ancient Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. But, upon the other hand, I trust there are none of us here present who believe that there is a natural or necessary antagonism between the pursuits of commerce sad the pursuits of learning. In no pe riod of the world in which civilisation has flourished THE INDIAN MUTINEERS. (From. the Times.) We hear that the Calcutta Government com plains of the English publio feeling in Calcutta as savage and vindictive, as absorbed in a blind and undiscriminating exasperation, as resolving itself into the mere hatred of a dark skin, into a pure unreasoning antipathy to the Hindoo. This, it is said, is very wrong, and not only wrong but foolish and impolitic. As a matter of fact, the natives do not, as a general rule, dislike us or wish ill to us ; many of them have in the very thick of these outrages, rescued Englishmen. It is unjust and ungrateful, then, to speak of all Hindoos as rebels and traitors, but it is impolitic also. Wa want the services of the natives ; we cannot do without them. Whatever modification our Govern ment and army may undergo there, the natives are necessary to us. The official link which connects the English Government with the people of India must be, to a great extent, of native material. Who is to undertake all the subordinate magistra cies and collectorships ? Who is to do the servile work in campaigns, to say nothing of strictly military service ? It is obvious that the English will sink under such labours. How will even the merchant and indigo planter buy or sell without the medium of the Banian, or the Gomashta, or the Dewan ? Now, if this is Anglo-Indian public feeling in the Peninsula, all we can say is, that so far from sympathising with it, we would heartily join the Calcutta Government in modifying it. If this is a true representation of it Calcutta public feeling is very different from public feelingat home. There is this great difference, —that public opinion here has always made the distinction between a mutiny and a rebellion, between the soldier a n d th e or di nary native. We ourselves have all along expressly maintained that this has been a military revolt, not a national one. Here there has been no feeling against the Hindoo as such. We do not say this as any matter of moral triumph over our country men in the Peninsula. We can easily understand the sort of things that people say on the spot from sheer disgust, horror, melancholy, and temporary despair. Events strike much more strongly on the spot. These Anglo-Indian expressions of feel ing are probably rather a vent to outraged hu manity, just as ejaculations are to bodily pain, rather than deliberate statements. The first idea which an earthquake inspires is to distrust the very solid globe itself ; when the earth has once given way under one's feet, one feels as if one could never rely upon it again • the very beauty of nature appears so mu c h t reac hery, and under every smiling cornfield and glowing vineyard we suspect a latent volcano. Persons who have been travel ling in a train when an accident has happened, even though they have escaped hurt themselves, have felt a certain giving way of an inward railway faith, as if they could never travel again with exactly the same sense of security with which they travelled before. The English in India have naturally some of this feeling. The Peninsula was, to all appear ance, quiet, prosperous, satisfied. English influ ence and English law were gaining ground every day, and the rule of a hundred years seemed to leave produced as its results an established obedience and a natural loyalty, when the volcano burst, and the sepoy mutiny disclosed rebellion, barbarity, and, r u e u v d e e n r g e s u l c ur h k c i i n r g e u in m H st a i u n d e o e s o t l h e e e a it ht?. g l l o t_ i i suidil t an ur s a that h l o u ld feel his faith in the Hindoo shaken to its basis, and that he should say to himself, " Well; it's of no the; we have given them a good Government now for a century, and this is the result." There is no won der that he should for a moment despair, and that despair should speak in accents of indignation. The truth is that this sort of language expresses all sorts of feelings. Its uppermost expressions are those of burning resentment, but this very language of re sentment is the vent at the same time to gloom and despondency. We do not lay claim, then, to any moral triumph over Anglo-Indian public feeling, but we must at the same time call attention to this distinction between public feeling in the peninsula and at ltbme—viz., that we have never been bitter against the mere native. We have from the first stigmatised the outbreak as a military one—an ex periment of wanton ambition, the offspring of all those motives which produce military revolts—ra pacity, insolence, ferocity, and passion. But we have let off the native population at large, t , 4) easily some have said, who interpreted our consi deration for the Hindoo as a mask and a disguise, which we wished to throw over the Indian outbreak itself, to conceal its importance and its depth. But, though we would caution our countrymen in India against an indiscriminating exasperation, which would involve mutineer and ordinary native in the same guilt, we do not go along with the Calcutta Government in its absurd attempts to hamper the military commanders in the execution of justice upon the mutineer. It is very easy for half-a-dozen civilians iu a room to draw up a set of instructions, no single one of which will be open to objection, and yet the general effect of which will ba to hamper military ju,- tice. To issue such a set of instructions, having avowedly fur their object the mitigation and dimi nution of punishment, is at any rate to tell our Brigadiers beforehand that we suspect them ; that we think them savage, bard, unfeeling men, who, if left to themselves, will massacre everybody they meet, and overrun the whole country with fire and sword. Fancy au Engli-h General, who has had the example of brave, noble, and benevolent chiefs of the service before his eyes ever since his boyhood, being told exactly how he is to proceed, and cau tioned at every step against punishing innocent men. "Do not kill everybody you see ;if a man has simply fed turkeys, or carved satinwood, or ornamental slippers, or broidered saddles for the last year, he is not to be hanged ; if you come to a perfectly inoffensive village which it can be proved for certain has done no Englishman any harm, which has done nothing for the last six months but grow rice, or tobacco, or cotton, or Indian wheat, do not burn it to ashes. and put all its inhabitants, men, women, and sucking infants, to the sword." Did the instructions simply amount to this, their very unmeaningness would hamper our command ers, because they would naturally suppose that the Government regarded them as savage men, and would therefore weigh every act of severity which they had to perform in a rigid and suspicious ba lance. Generals who are not trusted by a Govern ment act under a disadvantage. How much bet ter, when armed rebellion and outrage have put a country under military law—when ordinary civil justice is for the true necessarily suspended, and British rule must use extraordinary means for its vindication—to trust your military commanders. What particular use for issuing cautions and antici pating cruelties ? Are English Generals made of such unfeeling stuff ? Is that their character in his- have there been wanting citieswhich have exempli fied in a most significant manner the felicitous con nection between the pursuits of learning and the enterprising spirit of commerce and trade. There is nothing in the engrossing character of commerce, in its demand upon time, or in its influence upon the mental habits of those engaged in trade, which ought to create a difficulty in those who pursue it between their love on the one hand of religion and duty, or on the other of that literature and those ennobling pursuits which add so much both to sweeten the cup of life and exalt its natural and moral tone. 1 hope that this influence on the in dustrious classes will go forth more largely into those great and powerful centres which cultivate commercial enterprise. We should all join in the hope that the great Universities of the land may be found practically to associate more largely than heretofore with what may be called the trading or middle class of the country. I, for my part, parti cipate in the satisfaction which, no doubt, you have all felt in seeing these Universities during the pre sent year, I may say at a moment's notice, but in all heartiness and in a spirit not to be mistaken, offer to place themselves at the bidding and com mand of those who, like yourselves, are endeavour ing to organise a plan whereby education not given in the Universities themselves may, nevertheless, be brought to the test, and may receive the stamp of merit from the authorities connected with the Uni versities. I heartily wish well to such a scheme. (Cheers.) There is one other subject upon which I would venture to say a word, because it is a subject of importance even in Liverpool. I say even in Liverpool, for I don't think there is a place in the country so independent as Liverpool as to the necessity for a demand upon the public service fur employment. Such is the march of Liverpool —such the growing extent of its field of commerce —that within a comparatively short period it has quadrupled its population. Such, I say, is the rapid extension of that field that it opens legiti mate fields of employment for more hands then can be found available for its services. (Hear, hear.) But, at the same time, I dare say it will happen that many among you will be looking to the pub lic service ; and I cherish a hope to see the en trance into that public service put upon a footing more honourable to education and industry than is has been heretofore. It is not satisfactory, sir, in my mind, that people should go a-beggin g for j üb lic o ffi ce—in my mind public offices shou ld not be considered as favours bestowed upon individuals, but as opportunities for rendering useful, arduous, and honourable services to the country. And if there be opportunity for such useful, arduous, and honourable services, the conferring of these should not be held as a matter of favour frora the State. That which is called patronage may be a curse and plague upon the country ; and, upon the whole, I am inclined to think that it is. But in the nature of . things you cannot get rid of it altogether. There is indeed but one way in which it could be got rid of. This system of patronage is most rigidly employed in the en trance to the public service. If a man wants to get his son into the army, or into the navy—into any branch of the civil service, even to a landing waiter ship in the Customs—it is a matter of political beg ging, a matter of political influence. (Hear, hear.) I say this with great respect, in presence of a member of Parliament, who, I am sure, has bad as little to do with this sort of thing as myself. I may be permitted to hope that the day is coming when the basis of en trance to the public service—l don't now speak of promotion for merit, for that could hardly be left open to competitive examination—but I trust the day is coming when, as far as regards entrance into the public service for young men, nearly every office that can be named will he held up in the face of the country as the prize for the best candidate who offers himself to gain it. (Cheers.) .It will, in my opinion, be a great and happy day, amid all the difficulties that attend this subject, if we can see, as I really believe we shall see, these offices of fered as the premiums and rewards of honourable exertion to the boys who, however they may have distinguished themselves by their talents, character, and conduct at schools, feel that their natural career lies in the direction of rendering service to their country as the holders of public offices. Now, Sir, I have run out the limited sand-glass by which lam bound upon this occasion. I should be reluc tant, after what you have so well done upon this subject, to detain you any longer. I shall there fore only say that the disjointed remarks which I have laid before you will serve—if they serve nothing else—as a proof that my interest in this institution is cordial and sincere. I will only say one word more before I conclude, and I will take my text from a name that is at present an honoured name—a name of great popularity in England, and one regarded with interest in every homestead of the land. There still remains in some quarters a vulgar notion that there is a natural antagonism between corporal and men tal excellence. I trust that corporal education will never be forgotten—that the pursuits of manly sports will always receive the countenance and en couragement not only of the boys who engage in them, but of the masters who are responsible for these boys. There is a great deal of cant abroad that the bookish boy, or the hard-working, stu dious boy, although very fit to sit and study with book in hand, is not fit for the p r a c ti ca l p ur p oses of life. There is much of that cant abroad, and I would, for the purpose of putting a more liberal system in force in regard to entrance into the pub lic service, read to you an example iu point. I have selected from the Athenaeum of a few weeks ago a passage which 'elates to a man around whose name there is now concentrated more of public in terest than about the name of any other man of the day. I mean Gen. Havelock. (Great cheering.) It appears that Gen. Havelock was a Charter-house boy ; and the writer in the Athenaeum—l am not responsible for the authority—but he states, what is not altogether improbable, that at school General Havelock had a nickname, and the nickname was " Old Plalos." There are very good scholars here, no doubt, but I am not quite sure if at a first glance they would understand the term. It appears that "Old Phlos" is an abbreviation, and tbat without the prefix it means philosopher. The paragraph in the Atherveum, runs thus :—" 'Old Phlos' is a name which we are sure must be now making the hearts of old Carthusians dance with pride and de light. The Charter-house has boasted of many scholars who have sprung into eminent men ; among others, Crashaw, the poet ; Addison and Steele, the essayists ; John Wesley, the religious reformer; and L ,rd Ellenborough, the Lord Chief Justice. To the list will surely be added ' Old Phlos.' The pet name will be remembered by Car thusians, whose memory can go back some 40years or more." And what was the character at school of this Gen. Havelock who is now distinguishing him self by a temper, a courage, an activity, a zeal, a con sistency, and a dogged and dauntless resolution equal at least to that of any man England has produced during this century ? Tile paragraph in the A the nceum, proceeds :—" They will not have forgotten the gentle and thoughtful lad who used to stand looking on while others played, and whose general meditative manner procured for him the name of 6 Philosopher,' subsequently diminished to ' Phlos,' and occasionally applied as ' Old Phlos.' " That young and popular philosopher is the soldier at whose name the hearts of Englishmen beat with honest ride. " 014 Phlos" of the Charter-house . !s Havelock, the hero of Cawnpo re . (G reat cheer ing.) This is my last word. 1 con c l u d e b y wish ing prosperity to this institution—its heads--every one of its pursuits, and each and every of its de partments. (The right hon. gentleman concluded amid loud cheering.) The assembly then separated amid renewed cheers fur Mr. Gladstone. tory ? Are they rough, uneducated men, too, know nothing about public opinion at home, and how strongly we feel here against unnecessary bar barities and undiscriminating vengeance ? Our Gene rals in India are, we Lucy, fully up to this home standard; they have no wish to violate it ; they naturally want to stand well with the public when they come back here to enjoy their hard earne I laurels. It is not likely that they would d-li berately tarnish their good name by ferocious and bloodthirsty acts. They have nothing to gain and everything to lose by such tactics. Shall we 1)5 told of what the 10th at Dinapore has just done ? That is nothing to the purpose. We know that the English common soldier will behave at times with a wild justice, especially when he has heard that the women and children of another British regiment has been massacred, after experiencing cruel indignity and torture. But we are talking now of our Generals. They are the persons whom these instructions are meant to influence ; and we suspect that they do not want those instructions, at.d know per fectly well how to execute military justice so berly, temperately, and judiciously without them. When a country falls naturally under military law, leave it to the action of that 1 w. Military justice is not necessarily bad because it is not civil justice. It may be exercised with as much firbearance, i n proportion to the circumstances with which it has to deal, as civil justiceca,u be. Our Generals will not be able, perhaps, to check all brutality in their soldiers ; who can stop the passion of an army i n its very triumph, wLen, inflamed by wr ong , it enters at last the devoted city ? There is a terrible when, after the l ong its climax. But our f w o h re i z e zi i t i j i g t c h i e re s u w i t g of eo m e v e e s n t t , s ) , Generals will, we apprehend, do what they can, and do what English Generals always have don to suppress as far as possible all that deserves the name of ciuelty.

The Moniteur du Loiret gates that the Allier has risen considerably, and at Pont-du-Chateau, three leagues from Clermont, the river had at tained the maximum height of 1856. At Moulins the water was rising at the rate of 20 centimetres (about 7 inches) an hour. The Haute-Loire and the Cher had not risen. At Roanne the Loire, which had attained a height of 3 metres 30 centi metres, had begun to subside. We have received the following additional particulars of the progress of the inundations in the departments washed by the Allier and the Loire :—The news of the. great rise in the waters •f these rivers caused consider able alarm at Orleans. At Tours the engineers are on the alert, and immediately adopted measures in case of fresh danger. The prefects of Tours and. Angers immediately warned all the public func tionaries, and all the people residing near the I Loire, to be on their guard. That river has risen 1 five metres at St. Just, and was still rising when the last account was received. The railway bridge constructed last year to unite the Martre-de-Veyre to Vic-le-Comte has been carried away by a sudden swell of the Allier, which rose three metres above its usual height ; and the goods and passengers are obliged to be conveyed across the river iu boats. The Courrier de la Drome states that the Ardeche had again risen considerably in consequence of the late heavy rains. All the works going on for the construction of the bridge at Aubenas have been washed away, and the temporary bridge which had been erected has completely disappeared. This is the fourth time within three weeks that these works have been similarly damaged. Orders had been sent to Orleans and all the other stations not to deliver any tickets for Clermont ; but the engineers of the railway have since succeeded in re-establishing the circulation, for a counter-order has since been sent. In consequence of the government having received accounts of the rising of the Loire, measures were adopted for sending assistance to the threatened points ; and troops received orders yesterday to proceed to the Orleans railway station. They were about to start when a telegraphic despatch was re ceived of a more satisfactory nature, and the order for their departure was countermanded. They have, however, been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to start at a moment's notice. During a violent thunderstorm which visited Linen (Vendee) and its neighbourhood a few days nuts, the lightning fell on a mill at Bessay, about five mills from that place. The electric fluid struck the tree which supports the sails, and rent it almost in two parts, and tore off one of the sails. It then entered the mill, where the miller and his servant were standing. The letter was knocked down and killed on the spot, and the former, who happened to be near the door, was thrown to a considerable di,tance, but without receiving any very material injury. A mule which was fastened by the bridle at the door was killed. THE FOREIGN PRESS ON INDIAN MUTINIES. The Debats, thus replies to alate.article in which the Times, commented in haughty terms on the un popularity of England in France. The reply of: the Debats is not calculated to reduce Cds bad feeling,. which does not, however, exist to the ex tent supposal by the Times : "Low ing at the groundwork of thing 4, We tl]ink we may say that the Times is mistaken, and judgs , s too rx elusively in its own particular point of view the feeling which manifests itself in public opinion with regard to England. In the first place the Times is wrong in sup posing that there are French journals which rejoice it see ing English officers, women, and children massacred by the sepoys. In this particular the Times is unjkst to wards the jolrnals which have shown thomsnlves the most violent and passionate enemies of England ; and our impartiality obliges us to protest even in thenathe of the Univers and the Gazette de Prance. In France ss in England there are not two feelings or two ofrnions with regard to the atrocities of which India has been the theatre, and it is certain that the horrible recite's which reach us by every mail have raised fee-liras of horror and indignation in every heart. The Timei con founds two things which public opinion has cl e arly distinguished and separated one from the other ; it confounds the cause of humanity, so cruelly outraged in India, and the cause of English policy, which has been blamed and censured elsewhere that, in France, and which cannot pretend to be beyond the reach cf cri ticism. The English journal is mistaken, and labours under an illusion still more serious, in attributin g to envy the kind of unpopularity which England encoutters in France. The Times might have detected the cause of this unpopularity in certain well-known incidents which bay,/ so sadly compromised and disturbed the friendly relations et France 'and England ; it night have been found in the irritation which the egotistical and passionate policy of Lord Palmerston has excited not only in France but on the whole of the Conti nent. It should also have asked itself wheller the English press has always treated with sufficient con sideration the just and honourable susceptibilities of France. We speak without bitterness, without pai. sion, and with all that impartiality of which we Lave so frequently given proof, but we think that the haughty language of the English journal will not be favourably received in France, and that it wiil not contribute to remove from the public mind those pre judices which it has lately conceived against Englaad.'
