TuE pretended reply which Mr. Charles Willmer has thought proper to publish to our brief statement on Monday last, may safely be passed over with this simple remark—that the mortgage on his late paper, , the foreclosing of which has thrown it into our hands, was obtained by him, in the first place, in a discreditable manner, because ;ences which ie was not in a to carry out and, in the next place, that although he has subjected us to both loss and inconvenience by his unjustifiable conduct, he has now embarked in a most unfair endeavour still farther to injure the, property which he he ,knows, he was amply prepaid. It may yet be necessary to publish a statement of the case in detail; ; and it will fully corroborate the brmer remark, that in Liver- n) uatnolic have not instr uc t e d any of the Irish itylua members to oppose Hierarch they passing of the pending estimates for national education in Ireland, as their mode of dealing with the question rests 'on L_ _ _ more important ..grounds How very mag- Court yesterday, two collectors—were charged with embezzling various sums, the property of their respective employers. The colleeior of Winnop, painter, Renshaw-street, had appropriated sums amounting to above £2O ; and the collector of Mr. Dear, Islington, about the same figure ;_ both the prisoners were committed for trial, but his Worship received bail s for their, appearance..

The intense disgust' of the conti nental people gen4rally, at the way in which the Emperor Napoleon has terminated the campaign in Italy, continues to increase, and it spreads itself into all the nooks and corners in the French and Italian Statei. The °government journals have evidently received orders to combat the discon tent, which is manifested by everybody, with regard to the waste of so much money for so small a result. The three are canvassed in every cafe and place of public resort in Paris, and it is said that the comments made thereon are not very flattering to his Majesty Napoleon 111. • Of the three apolomiesi they must be Set down as, for first of all the Emperor Francis Joseph apologises for having accepted the terms of peace he did ; then the King of Sardinia apologises for giving a reluctant consent to the treaty ; and at length the Emperor Napoleon apologises for having originated the proposal. Of all the apologies, that of the young Emperor of Austria is looked upon, even by his enemies, as the most dignified. His army had been e - ompelled to retire before superior forces, and an unwillingness on his part to terminate the contest would have excited general indignation. After his defeat better terms were granted to him than he might have expected before the war began ; so he consented to sheathe the sword, and thus restored tranquillity to. Europe. The expressions of discontent are so loud and frequent, that the French Government have doubled their spies in the Paris cafes, &c. At the meeting of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln- , shire Railway Company, the report was reeeived and adopted after the chairman's remarks, and a dividend of 4s. per cent. for the-half year on the original stock was declared. The directors, were also authorised to raise an additional sum of £209,433, and to subscribe a sum not exceeding £50,000 to the Oldham. Ashton. and Guide Bridoe Junefinn Rnilw.v A somewhat important matter to the licensed victuallers of the country has just transpired. At a special meeting of the Manchester and Salford Licensed "Victuallers' Society, on Wednesday, the secretary read a letter from the Earl of Ripon, in which that nobleman said the government were willing to billet as many recruits as possible on one license victualler, by arrangement, so as to obviate as much of the annoyance now complained of as possible. The blowing is tne letter from the hart of _Ripon :—" I am directed by Mr. Secretary Herbert to acquaint you, with reference to the views expressed by the deputation from the Manchester Licensed Victuallers' Association, .on the sth instant, that he cannot consent to bi n d thi s ,department to billet on one innkeePer only, nor can he stipulate that any ever, be given to the inspecting `field-officer of the distriet, as a rule, and unless some unforeseen circumstances should arise, to billet all recruits (so that the number accommodated at any one time shall not exceed 150) upon Mr. Dennis Byrne, of the Victoria Inn, Hardman-street, Manchester,' the person pointed out by the deputation of Licensed Victual lers as one in a: position, and_.willing,_ to provide billets for a large numb?r of men. The, accommodation will be subject to the approval of the inspecting field-officer, or any other officer appointed by him." The Banquet given to Mr. Charles Kean, on Wednesday night, was a most bni, ..tair. The Duke of Newcastle presided, and the 'attendaiits included nearly all Sr. Kean's school companions at. Eton. The various speak ers paid a high CompHine& . tollr. Kean as a prOfessional man and a gentleman.

The difference be tween now and then is, that then, after spending five years in a malefactor's prison, and having lived to escape from an unhonoured retirement, and to wield the baton of a constable in London, now he slinks asking pardon from Europe for promises ludicrously unfulfilled, and receiving congratulatot* addresses from "the Greit ragi-comie burlesque Bodies of the. State !" Let' us not be misunderstood ; let us not s 6 far forget ourselves or our Christianit as to reproach Louis Napoleon with pusillanimity for withdrawing from a hopeless - contest, or for frankly confessing his inability- to prolong it. But when his aim was to overawe half Europe with a display of puiVor ; to parade before _the' face of peaceable governments the glory of an army too extensive except For purposes of aggression ; and when• he ushered in the new " epoch " with a formidable increase of naval armaments, and the constructions of gigantic de- fences, all superfluous except as weapons of insult and attack, which no one but himself could wantonly provoke ; we have a right to hesitate before• accept ing his apologies : we do well to withhold the ex- pressions of our synnpathy, till his new professions are ratified with some gintrantee of his repentance Without some such security as 'this, we cannot so soon forget the sort of man we have to deal with. The misfortune is, our Bank of Faith had stopped run upon it. After so cruel an exhaustion, it is idle to expect we can immediately appreciate his novel candour us see w lat Italy and his own, people have to reply to his proffered excuses " Arrived beneath the walls of Verona." Well!, was that a suriirise? *here should a warrior be but before the stronghold of his foe ? We had all heard of Verona. We had even heard _of _pther fortresses' around it. Nay, the troops of your ally were already closing upon Peschiera, and predicting its speedy _ _ promise( le sack of - Mantua to your own impetuous soldiery : why the slaughter. of Magenta,and Solferino—why. cross the Po or the Mimic), except to sit before Verona ?

He.was honoured, on this occasion, by six hundred of his friends and admirers, who were presided over by Duke and a Cabinet Minister. Not only as an actor a Noble was he honoured on this occasion, but as a gentleman and a scho; Chairman observed, " every son of Eton looked back with feelings of the tenderest affection to the school at which he had been educated, that there is a free-masonry among Etonians which draws them together under whatever circumstances, and in what- ever quarter of the world they may be thrown and, he continued, " I, and other Etonians, who were contemporaries of CHARLES KEAN, feel that, in addition to the names of distinguished generals statesmen, philosophers, poets, there is now a son of Eton, who has brought fresh lustre to the school to which they belong, and to whom they are anxious to prove their approbation Here, then, we say, is CHARLES KEAN a great ex- ception, in the it is as a player, and as one who has distinguished himself in the drama, that he was thus honoured by so es traordinary an ovation- And, in honouring him (-7 they honoured the drama, alsO ; as, no doubt, they specially designed to do. Mr. KEAN has, undoubtedly, done almost ,more than any man, in modern times, to exalt the drama ; and, whilst exalting, to popularise it also. He has made the staz€ mirror up to,nature ;"and, in doing so, as was well remarked, he may be looked upon, by'even the' great historical painters of our time, as a rival in their art, with only this distinction, that happily* their pro- " ductions descended fresh from the easel to posterity, " while his, unhappily for him, perished in the same evening, and left nothing but their fame behind." He made his representations lessons on liistory, as well . _ as on art,—lessons on archolegy in particular, and •- - - also on the habits and manner's of past generation In all this there was, doubtless, instruction combined with amusement. It gave, in short, a striking illus- tsation of the utile dulci In another respeCt, Mr. KEAN has sliewn how one who is embarked in a profession which too many have made disreputable ; may, yet be respectable and honourable in the highest degree. The Noble Chair- man of this festive occasion well observed, that, doubtless, even such an one felt the truth of the " The drama's laws the drama's patrons give, " For those who. live to please must please to livE But, he bore testim honoura ite to . . the' present object of their' esteem, that he had never been improperly' influerieed by even that sentiment. Arid here we would, for a moment, remark that it is a sentiment not confined by any means, in its• opera- ation, to the stage. There are many others, of whom it may with equal truth be said, that since they "live to please," they must " please to live." Public jour- nalists are among the number and, too often; are they found pandering to very questionable tastes, under the idea, that since they . too " live to please,' they also must "please to live." Let us look, then all of us, and profit by what we observe, in the career of Mr. Charles Kean ; who, althoueh in a nrofpgginn which, almost more than any other, requires "its anner to secure him so honourable a mark of distinction as that of Wednesday night There'is one reflection arising i out of this subject which we cannot forbear from noticing, and that is— how much it is to be regretted that ;the efforts of a Charles Kean, in purifying and elevating the sources of poptdar'entertainthent; canndt.be directed to those commoner amusements,. which are resorted to, more particularly, by the masses of the people drama, as presented in all, its purity, and in all its force; at the Princess Theatre, was presented, not so much to the people at large, as to particular sections of them. NoW, the people, and especially the work ing classes, must have their amusements; and it is most important, in a moral and social point of view, that these should not be demoralising,- •on the con- JULY 22, 1859. An instance is being recorded, just now, of the raPit li l with which Louis Napoleon's war expedients can be fl3l - with the means of action, which ought to read s lesson to our Government. " A very short time beff'ft peace was concluded," says a communication from Fran c : . " the manage rs o f an iron f ac t or y i n th e Ri ve d e Gier,!' of rue Loire, were called up to Paris, by Minister of War, and asked whether they would engage t°, fit out, in twenty-five days, five floating batteries sheathed with iron plates, and perfect in every part, for the Mine i° and the Lake of Garda. Five days more were allowed for their transport to Toulon. The batteries were complete d within the time, and everything ready, when the Empero r of the French made peace at Villafranea." His Majestfs uncle, when contemplating the invasion of this eountrY/ failed, it will be remembered, in getting his naval arinamen t ready with any such despatch, and the abandonment of 011 1 invasion, for the time being, was mainly attributable to tha t giTeumstance. The case is materially altered now, however! when his successor, whose bellicose intentions are becoming equally intense as were those of the first Bonaparte, a ll get his orders executed with such extraordinary despatch as'this. There is no release, of Austrian prisoners yet, it appea ol by France. The officers are allowed to move about, °° parole, and several of them, we learn, have arrived at Paris; but they are still prisoners. This circumstance would aloo f lead one, to. suspect that the peace, after all, is a temporal/ device on the part of one whose conduct, in making it, is, s° far, inexplicable. A bill has been introduced in the House of Commons under the auspices of the Government, we believe, for th e purpose of preventing the erection of advertising colun3o and other prominent structures in 'the streets or the mete°' polis. It was high time that something should be done t° prevent such nuisances. We humbly think the bill might ia.gc UL UUjeCLS ana we ao no such a measure should not be extended to the large towns 01 the provinces also THE LATEST NEWS. - LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE. • LONDON, THUitSDAY EVENING— The market for English securities remai ns ver y qu ie t , 0 ' in the other departments of the Stock Exchange only 5 limited business has been transacted.
