The Teeth influence the form and expression of the countenance more than is generally imagined, and the finest face is disfigured if the Teeth are irregular, and a dis agreeable expression is produced. ,When the Teeth are, good and regular, there is, when speaking or smiling, a fascination present which prevents further examination of the countenance. ..The most striking cases are those persons about the middle period of life who have lost their Teeth; for, how .ever' clear and perfect their utterance may have been before their less, it is im.possibla to regain it without sup plying the deficiency by means of Artificial Teeth. • FROM COUNTRY PATIENTS, ONE VISIT ONLY REQUISITE .

Attention was chiefly directed to the market for British Railway Stoeks, where the settlement commenced to-day. The arraogetnents for the adjustment of the account were accompanied by a fresh rin of 1 per cent in Midland, and 2 per cent ,in Lanca shire and Yorkshire Stock. There was also an improvement in Grand Trunk of Canada. The market closed at the following prices : THE FUNDS. Consols Money „ Account (Dee.) . . .

The following appeared in oar later editions of yesterday : Gold has been drained from Malta, partly for Sicily and Naples, on account of its being more convenient for hoarding than silver; but the greater quantity has been taken for the Levant. The Herald says it is generally assumed, unless further advices from the United States should prove unfavourable, that the Bank will on Thursday reduce the rate. The Times reports that in the railway market yester day the chief fluctuations were in Midland and Lanca shire and Yorkshire ; the former advanced in the morning to 134, but some sales subsequently caused a decline to 1334 to -I Lancashire and Yorkshire was in active demand in the afternoon, especially on provincial account, and improved nearly 14 per cent. on a reported traffic arrangement between this company and the Midland. Other stocks were mostly higher, except Great Northern, which receded 1 per cent. ; Eastern Counties also flat. The confident expectation that a reduction will be made in the Bank rate of discount at the weekly court on Thursday prevents applications from being made in the interval. Out of doors the transactions are on terms considerably below the Bank minimum. In the Stock Exchange loans on Government securities can be ob tained at 3 per cent. The English funds opened with out reaction from the sudden fall of 7 1-, per cent. which occurred yesterday afternoon, but the public effected purchases during the day, and the market subsequently manifested considerable firmness and closed with a very good appearance. In the Foreign Exchange the rate on Hamburg was slightly lower. Bills on Austria were much offered, and the prices obtained showed increased mistrust in the finances of that empire. About £3,000 in gold was taken from the Bank. Gold is 1-10 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London, and not quite 1-10 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. A reac tion of nearly 7, per cent. occurred on the Paris Bourse, which has been agitated, and a number of political rumours have been current.—Times City Article. The funds to-day showed rather more firmness, bnt the improvement in prices scarcely exceeded 1-16 per cent., business being very languid. The share markets were likewise firm, and in some instances a slight im provement occurred. The main feature was a sudden rise of 17, per cent. in the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. This was in answer to a similar movement in the provincial markets, caused by a report that a traffic arrangement has been concluded between the Midland and Lancashire and Yorkshire companies. There were also some large speculative purchases, com puted at 40,000 or 5 0,000 of Midland railway stock for the. new accounts, but ow i ng a pp ar ently to a counter :hen supply, there was no a d vance i n the price of this k Great ease prevails in the discount market. The best bil is were taken to-day at 5 per cent., and scarcely, any application s were ma d e t o the Bank of England. Indeed thinness of business at that estab lishment was extreme.

Gentlemen,---I have Just received the following letter; will you kindly insert it in your paper I In the hope that others may go and do likewise, I remain yours truly, CHARLES BREWER, Hon. See. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE EARLY CLOSING ASSOCIATION. The Butter Place, Liverpool, Nov. 21, 1860. Sir,---Enclosed we beg to hand a guinea towards yout funds. We owe a great deal to the promoters of early closing. At con time we did not close before ten • we were then "unknown, unfriended, melancholy, slow 1" The early closers persuaded us to try nine ; we did so, and our trade doubled ! That enlightened us considerably ; so tve then tried eight, and to our great surprise the trade increased as before ! ! This was rather more than we could properly attend to ; but, as an experiment, we tried seven. Strange to say, another jump in the trade was the consequence; hence the recent extensions. Who shall say now that we are either "unknown" or " slow ?" We may thank certain gentlemen for all this ; and hereby , express gratitude accordingly, not only for the above-men tioned pleasing results, but for the many leisure hours and other benefits more tangible arising therefrom. (How could any person write an advertisement after ten p.m. 'I) We now have it in contemplation to close at six, but must not do so until we complete the erection of our little fixtures for cutting and folding butter by steam power, judging by past experience the rush would overwhelm our pres, at resources.--- With best compliments, and many thanks for your good advices, we remain, dear sir, yours, as usual, EDWARD KELLY & CO., Usually styled KELLY THE BUTTERMAN. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT.—In angry or indolent sores, and all skin diseases originating in impure or weak blood, or depraved secretions, the joint agency of Holloway's Pills and Ointment is perfectly irresistible. It is of little con sequence how long these disorders may have lasted, or how sluggish, obstinate, or malignant they may seem, the daily application of the Ointment to the plrts affected, and a course of these matchless Pills, will most certainly effect a cure, not temporary or superfici a l, but complete and permanent. Both the Ointment and Pills are composed of rare balsams, unmixed will% mercury or any other deleterious substance. They are, accordingly, as mild and safe as they are powerful and efficacious. w, Ho TOOKE ; sirccutioit TO HA US 'ET it G. tL6CKS OP ALL DESCRIPTIONS AND THE NEWEST DESIGNS CONSTANTLY RECEIVED FROM HIS MANUFACTORY IN PARIS.

THE RETURN OF THE PRINCE OF WA SS: Klidgither, what With wind, hail, and rain, it was not an encouraging cruise, especially as fresh provisions were out, even to the vegetables, and there was nothing to eat bUt the saltest of salt ship's stores."—Vide Tinies, Nov. 16. Our fear& are at an enci, the Frince df 'Wales Is, safely landed on his native shore ; Thongh hail and rain and constant eastern gales Have rendered tedious his passage o'er. Most travellers by sea confess that though When starting on their voyage all are gay, But very soon they find things somewhat slow, And strive in vain to kill each dreary day. 'Tis a hard task when in a swift " Cuziarder," But in a line-of-battle ship Still hardeb Pitchek jumps, and rolls, D 4 after day, and chiefly under sail ; For such hip carries but small stock of coals, And so her screw is not of much avail.

In addition to the stirring details in our paper of yesterday, regarding the progress of the allied forces in China, and of the negotiations commenced by the Chinese . with a view to prevent the entrance of our victorious troops into Pekin, we now publish a summary of a despatch which has been received from Lord Elgin, which • will be • read. With, if possible, still greater interest, It how clearly appears that it was the in tention of the Chinese, in accordance *ith the practice only of the most barbarous and uncivilised nations, to: seise the persons of the English and French Ambassadors, and to surprise or lead into ambuscades carefully pre pared, the whole of the allied army, while hostilities were suspended, and negotiations were being Carried on between the two armies. We are, therefore, forced to the conclusion that •the assent of the Chinese to a nego tiation was A' mere pretence, adopted in order to lure the "barbarian invaders" and their chiefs to a common destruction. Lord Agin says that, in a second 'and more modest despatch received from the white-but toned mandarins," on the evening of the 11th, the Chi nese conceded a unconditionally almost all the points in contraersy between us." It was therefore subsequently settled that the Chinese should fall back, and accordingly Mr. Parkes rode on to Tung-chair to arrange matters for his Lordship's reception, so as to prevent a collision tak ing pace by inadvertence. What followed is detailed in the summary of the despatch from Sir Hope Grant, whichappeared in our telegraphic column, yesterday, and is the other accounts published by us relative to the captur3 of the Secretary to the Embassy and his Com paniors, and the subsequent military operations. The - Timeshopes Lord Elgin will be satisfied with nothing less thin a heavy indemnity, to be paid in great part on the spt, an humble apology for the refusal to receive the Anbassadora according to the last Treaty, and a courteous and public reception of them on the present occasiol. Lout ere this, we trust the obj ec t s o f t h e expedition have ben accomplished, and the prisoners restored. Meanwhile we reproduce here the following version, given ii the last number of the Patrie, of the capture of the Eiglish prisoners: " Intelli gence f rom Chi na ap p ears to explain certain facts spoken of by the English press. strong column of the allied army having been sent in dvance, some officers, interpreters, and English teurists (the Times' correspondent no doubt is here alluded o), who accompanied this column, impelled by an imptience more natural than prudent, entered, to the nusber of thirty or forty, into the city of Pekin, where hey were detained by the Chinese as objects of curiosit ; but no evil has happened to them ; and the convicton was entertained that they would be restored to libesy immediately the treaty of peace was signed— au evert which is regarded as certain. The English !otirnals of Hong Kong announce that among the pri soners there are several Frenchmen. This is not the case." Recent despatches from Turin speak of great activity prevailing in the arsenals, and state that everywhere throughout Italy preparations are being made for war. The number of the infantry regiments of the Italian army is about to 'be raised successively to 110. The Neapolitan soldiers will. be incorporated into the corps in totirse Of fohliatidn. Ity Meads of these forces; end of othei troops, whose organisation is being actively prose cuted, the Italian army will be ready to take the field next spring with 300,600 men. War may therefore be regarded as certain to break out at that period, if the counsels of the party of action.preirail, Which seems alniest Certain to be the case. This patty haiting the majority in the approaching Parliament, are, it is said, to propose to the assembly to proclaim Victor Emmanuel, who is at present King merely of the Sardinian States, King of Italy, and to declare that Venetia shall form part of the Italian kingdom. Once this declaration is made, Venetia to use the famous expression of Napoleon 111., be " reclaimed", (rpvenctique't) ; and resort will be had to arms if the 'Claim be hot abknOwledged: There is one other eventuality to which these despatches do not appear to allude—viz., the previous voluntary cession of Venetia by her present owners. As bearing upon the probabilities of the edhlutiima tion of this latter event, ive quote the ft;llovvitig state ment ill a letter froth - Vienna to the Gazette de Cologne, merely remarking regarding it that we hope it may not be found too good to be true :—" We learn from Paris that a complete understanding now exists between Eng land and France, based upon the English note of the 27th of October, relative to the Italian question. This agree ment will be shown by the nomination of ambassadors extraordinary to the toilet of King 'Victor Emmanuel as tioiiti as the Italian Parliament has proclaimed the con§tittition of the kingdom of Italy 'tinder the scep tre of that oVer'eigti. aliAtifed that the *Ateiii poweis will, gharantee the new kiiigdoni to the. house of Savoy. With regard to Venetia, France, which lately has made the programme of Milan the basis of, its , PolicY, neW, it s iS,S4id, takes eiith pfeteli the English point of vie*. It is known that the latter power considers any act of aggression against Venetia more or less premature, and that it has made representations in this sense through its minister at Turin. For this reason there is ground for anticipating a diplomatic arrangement respecting Venetia." Victor Emmanuel is still at Naples, prevented by stress of weather froth crossing to Sicily; 'and Francis 11. is still at Gaeta, his departure for Rothe having, aceorditig td our Cdrresporlderit, been delayed at the request of the queen Atether, notwith§taiiditig that the preient interesting situation df the poor young Queen suggests an immediate withdrawal from the beleagured fOrtreis. The Garibaldian army has fallen to pieces, and the survivors are being conveyed to their respective places of abode by the new Government. We are glad to see it stated by the Espero of Turin that one of the first acts of King Victor . Emmanuel will be the revocation of the pension granted to the mother of Agesilao Milano. The tame paper states that General Codrington has been paying a Visit to 66611 dialdini; before Gaeta, On his *ay. home The legislatiVe and ministerial changes in France continue to be received with favour, Considerable stress is iaid upon the fact of the enthusiastic reception accorded to the Emperor on the occasion of his visit to the Opera on Monday last. It is looked upon as a political event of high significance.

A vast iCcession of truly valuable l popularity the ,unmis takeable result of 'Ol late appeal to the tibet•al likiclf in 'ranee, and the dawn Of true constitutional policy is hailed by thousands hitherto averse to the dynasty." The enquiry into the burning of the Connaught was was resumed on. Tuesday and again adjourned. Mr. John Palmer, the contractor for the engines, in giving evidence, said—The Connaught is as long as any vessel except the Great Eastern. We never built one so large before. We were rather hurried on . with the engines; and had to work at night. They were of a peCtiliar oon§tructiOn. SlLe was , a frery hnp„shi t p, and her cost altogether was within a trifle of 110060. A letter from Rome, in the Nation ' alite's of Turin, in giving an account of the Pope's visit to the Church of San Carlo Borromeo, on the day set apart for that saint, expresses admiration of the immense splendour of tbe procession. The carriages of the cardinals, besides being gilt from top to bottom, were adorned with beautiful subjects, artistically painted, of Venus and Mars, Cupid and Psyche, and other heathen gods and nymphs, in such Airy summer attiie, as the writer Obserfes Aniton deaCrihed in his Well-knoviri lines : " Slier dg, aQiii to the Mender waist, .her iinddorned golden tresses WOW Dishevelled, but in wanton ringlets waved, As the vine curls her tendrils," &c. The writer duly appreciates the apropos of such subjects in a procession to the shrine of a saint, satirically re marking how well calculated they are to excite the piety of the diiVolit iVeCtators. . . We tuiderstaiid that it is the preseiit iiitentichi of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary and suite to take their departure from Brighton to-day, for London. We are extremely grati fied to be able to report that the royal perSonages have derived considerable benefit frotn the delightful and health' bre6,es of Eirightori4 and that her royal high ness the duchess expresses herself much pleased with her sojourn there. It is expected that before the Empress of the French takes her departure from England, her Majesty will pay a Visit to the queen, either at 'Windsor of Osborne; but, as the royal visit must necessarily be of a private character, it will most probably take place at Osborne. We ate glad to see that Mr. Meller has come forward in the Conservative interest for the borough of South wark, as he is more likely to receive the support of the eleCt6is than any dr the nunierous Liberal candidates ; none of - *horn appear to be very acceptable to the Con stituency.

In delivering judgment on the Shedden case, on Tues day, Sir C. Cresswell spoke of the prosecution as most Unjustifiable litigation tarried oil by tinfotinded asper siofis. Vor the Male petitioner he luid nti stnipathy ; 'but for the female petitioner he did feel most.. deeply,._ she had been brought up in a full hAllie of the truth of her father's story, and it was clear that she had dwelt upon it for years and years with the unhesitating con fidelice ofd dlitiful and affectionate child, until it had at last become interwoven with her i'ery ruithre, The concluding portion of the judgment of his lordship is given in another column., From the official returns of the Board of Trade, the declared value of exports for the month of October amounted to h 1,232,181, being an increase of £514,308 over the same month last year. the :elpotts for ten months ending the 31st of October amounted to £112,956,527, showing an increase of £4,201,343 over the same period in 1859.

At the last rileetiiig Cif the Workhouse Committee, it was resoled, as the inauguration of a saltitary practice, to make a personal inspection of all the inmates of the, house classed ds " able-bodied" in parochial phrase ology,—that is, bet*ecn the ages of sixteen and sixty. The direct object of the inejnity fins tH ascertain whether there were not so me qu it e ca p a ble of maintaining them selves, and who should at once be discharged from the house. _A secondary object was, to learn how many parents there **ere with children in the house who, if , the latter were transfetted to Rirkdale and adopted by the parish, would be able to earn a lip ellhood fot them selves outside. By the regulation at present in fotee, children whose parents are living are inadmissible to the schools, unless the parents themseltes are in the work house: the whole family must thus be patiperised before the children can fully benefit. The reason for this rule is pretty obvious ; but that it is attended with occasional hardship is equally clear ; and we are glad to observe that a motion is to be brought forward for rescinding or varying it according to circumstances, at the next meet ing of the select vestry. The inspection, which is likely to extend o'er several days, commenced yesterday, at the Workhouse, the inmates being marshalled for the purpose in the dining ball, and separately admitted into the store-room, where they were each questioned and examined by the mem bers of the committee. The process was necessarily a hurried one ; and yet ,the total time occupied was so great, that it was only found possible to go through the able-bodied men, 85 in number, and the nurses in the different wards. It was resolved, however, to resume the inspection at a future day. Some curious little snatches of biography came out in the course of the inspection yesterday, Of a few of those we took notes ; and which we shall just give as they arise,—leaving the facts in each case to suggest their own inference. 'We should state, however, that Mr. Hagger, the vestry clerk, made memoranda in each case, with a view, if necessary, to future action. • The first case called was that of Humphrey H—, a rigger, who has three children in the house. He had come to visit them, when, in accordance with the rule, he was detained himself and made a pauper. He was asked if it was not the truth that he had deserted them? 'He said no; he had been in prison. ale was taking a vessel out for a relative of his, when they forgot the can-hooks, and • he was charged with stealing them. He was an old man, but he thought he should be still able to maintain himself if the children were kept in the workhouse.—Shortly after Wards, it tall old man s of most commanding figure, was brought forward. He stated that he had only been home a few months from India. He has a pension of 9d. a day, but found it was not enough to live upon ; and as he was medically disabled, he had been obliged to enter the house. (His pension of course goes to the funds of the parish.)—A third man, named Hoffman, stated that he was ,a native of Quebec, and had been obliged to seek relief, as he Was suffering from rheu matic fever.. Afterwards came the case of another soldier from India. When fifty years old, he would be entitled to a deferred pension of 4d, a ddy. He had been accustomed to wear flannels in India, and woad gladly leate the house if he. had some decent clothing. He would be sure of a situation froni Cdl. BroOks, or some of the Other officers, at GoapOrt; if he could only reach there. He was discharged at Chatham but, being a native of Liverpool, came down here. There was no one to welcome him, however, for he found, as he said with pathos, that "all - his family and friends were in Low-hill Cemetery."—Next came a clerk, who said, if sent out he „could get nothing to do: He was suffering, beside s , f ro ui neat aiid fate.-4r. If., an old inmate; was asked how it *as that lie. had left a situation to attend upon a gentleman, which had been got for him.? He said the reason was that the gentle man had been removed to The-Brook (Itinatic dsyluM). lii answer to it fiirtheir tinestioii; the pauper stated that his teeth had beau Ittiodked oitt by a ltinatie in the house. One of the vestrymen said that he belonged to .a.. most respectable family. Several coopers were amongst the paupers brought forward : two of these had lost fingers, and so were scarcely able to follow their work. A third had struck, with a number of others, about ten Months ago, in this town s and had gone on tramp. Ile had obtained work at Allsopp 4 s brewery, Burton-upon- Trent, When he, liith 40 others, Was discharged ; owing to slackness caused by . tlie sbarcity of imps) and he had retiirfied to LiVerptiol iti sitar a state of dettittititin forced him to seek relief..t. 4.; a inal-of-War 4 s thaii, •1 had. entered the house with shots in his leg; b'ut was getting better.—E. I\l., a very stout, jovial looking man, a baked had been slit of seven Yeatslh the hoiise, Where he is, of course, tnade tl-., fro' ii Glasgow, fine, tall, intelligent looking man, with expansive fore head, stated that he was a clerk. At the request of a vestryman, he exhibited a document in his handwriting, which was certainly a most beautiful specimen of Cali graphy. • He has three children in the house ; and it was stated, if we heard aright, that he had been impri soned for twelve months in Scotland for having I .t,t erted theiii.A. tolerably able-bodied man, Who has a wife and two children iii the lithiSe; said he was 4 letterpress printer; but. the trade Was /id* entirely diine up, the work being all done by machinery or boys ! The last place he was in he had only Bs. ; that was with a Mr. Wilson, in Toxteth-park. He was employed in the house wheeling harrows, "navvying." --Afterwards hopped forward a little Frenchman named Fontane, with twisted moustache and strangely curled beard. He answered the queries .put to him in French; but all that could be clearly made out, was that he had been a dancing master at a school in Atertion4oad, WhereVer that may be.- 7 -to a than With a broken arm; WhiCh had been so badly set that h'e had lost the perfect ,iise,Of,it ? one of tiechiliMittee bbsei4ed (aside); "Fort shad have gone to Evan Thomas." "Why," replied the pauper, "that was the gentleman who set it,"—Another bookkeeper: Had been two years and upwards in the house ; had been in the United States for seven or eight years, and arrived here destitute.—A seaman from New Brunswick : paralysed.—An old man said he was a quill-dresser by trade, but there was none of it ho*,bihde steel pelts had been'introdiided: Had ofteii tried fOi• Work outside ; got a little street sweeping once ithen,ie went; out, ,bfit could .not get enough of it to lite iiPon; he had, perhaps, only a day week. —Another soldier frOm India, very sickly looking; said he had been in no less than fourteen engagements in India. Begged to be allowed to stop till after Christmas, and expected then to get work with the adjatant, at an office , in Chapel-walks. a 'A vestry man observed that it was great shame that a man who had seen so much service should be there.—Another bookkeeper, and who is employed in that capacity in the house, said he would gladly take wor k ou t s id e,, if i t could be get. It waS stated; iowever, that having acted for some time as store-keeper, the V - eitii had .voted him for the service. He had gone out with this, spent it all in drink, and immediately returned. The Governor had a like report to give in a great many of the other cases which had been heard : it was almost hopeless to discharge the parties, as they would be certain imme diately to return.--A number of lads who had been brought up in the Industrial Schools, but cling to the house and promise to be paupers for life, were next eiamined; One boy said he ran away thin the schools ; then worked in a fiat thi the &Mai, brit did not like it, and so came to the house..-Another, It Very stoat lad, said that he came from the schools to the workhouse in 1858, to see his mother, when he was detained for good, or till he shotild be sent back with a new set; " The nurses were next examined; it Was found too late to proceed; as had been intended,• With the females in the " classification " ward, and who are 130 hi number: Nearly all of these hate infants, or are in daily expectation of becoming mothers,—the children, in about nine4enths of the cases, being illegitimate. This branch of the enqiiiry Was aecordingly adjourned. A FEMALE SAILOR t The members of the committee were subsequently introduced to a novel applicant for parochial relief. On the previous evening a smart-looking sailor lad, dressed, tar fashion, in hhie jacket, canvas trousers, and oil-skin cap, with shirt collar throWn back in the approved fashion, entered the receiving-honse, and elpressed a wish to see the Governor. To that gentleman the assumed tar Confessed that he was not what he seemed, bitt a Woman in disguise. The applicant further gave her name as Annie Stewart, and then told a most extraor dinary story. She was a native, she said, of Glasgow. Her father was a seafaring man, but was lost off the coast of Africa. Her five brothers all went to sea, and she also secretly resolved on pursuing the same vocation. For that purpose she donned male attire, and without her sex being at all suspected, bound herself for five years to a shipowner in this town. She sailed in two different vessels, and was about completing her time, with a fair prospect of being made second mate, when she met with an accident, by falling from one of the yards, when the ship eras lying in the river here, and fractured her ribs. She was taken to the Northern Hos pital, where her sex was first discovered by the surgeons attending her ; and on recovery was brought before Mr. Mansfield, shortly before that gentleman's removal to London. The facts of the ease, it will be remembered, were at the time made public. gho -was discharged and according to her tale, again assuming male attire, proceeded to Hull, from whence she went several short voyages. Returning to Liverpool, she sought for a ship all Saturday and Monday last, but was disappointed. She had actually been engaged to proceed to Valparaiso, and had gone on board. the Vessel, when the mate, who had heard the case before Mr. Mansfield, recognised her, and the skipper put her ashore. In this dilemma she had come to the Workhouse, stating that as she finds she cannot, since her injuries, take so well the part of a "man before the mast," she is anxious to resume the proper habiliments of her sex, if the parish will provide them, and go out as under stewardess. She has learned all the accomplishments of a sailor,—chews, smokes, and confesses to a weak ness for grog. Her carriage and bearing is that of a thormigh seaman, and in the absence of trousers pockets she sticks her hands into the waistband of her gown. It was obsetted by one of the vestrymen, yesterday, that her hands were clean and comparatively soft, without the slightest trace of tar; and it is a question, after all, if she is not an impostor. Her story certainly scarcely challenges belief. The only reason which she gives for first going to sea is, that she thought she might meet with her brothers. She did meet with one of them some time ago, who wished her to don proper attire, and stay in Liverpool, when he would allow her one-half of his pay, but says she preferred to work and get full pay. The whole story is as unsatisfactory as it is extraordinary, and we shall be glad to hear of its being subjected to a more rigid investigation. THE ENGLISH AS RULERS. On the cieeasion of the railway banquet at Rajmahal (Bengal), already reported, Lord Can ning, who presided, said -• .Gentlemen,—lt is of no use to deny or conceal it, for it is known to all the world—we Englishmen, with all our great national characteristics, are not, as a people, conciliatory or attractive. God forbid that any of us should feel ashamed of his national character, or wish it to be other than it is. But none amongst us will deny that the very virtues of that character are not seldom elaggerated into faults. We are powerful in body and in mind—and we are proud of that power. We are self-reliant, and justly so : --and we like to show our self-reliance. We are conscious of our high purposes and enlightenment, and we are apt to look down upon those whose motives we believe to be less worthy than our own, or whom we regard as debased in ignorance— and we do not care to conceal our feelings. These feel ings are not inconsistent with our natio na l greatness. In the days of slavery Englishmen were amongst the hardest task-masters that the African ever had; but England did not hesitate to spend her gold and her blood lavishly for the suppression of the slave trade, and we poured out our £20,000,000 like water, when we found that it was the only means by which to rid ourselves of the curse of slavery. But, gentlemen, no people, whatever their condition, will patiently bear to be treated by their rulers as though they were less than men; less rational, less capable of right feeling than those who rule them. If we attempt, indi vidually or collectively, to do this—if we neglect to win the hearts of those over whom Provid ence h a s placed us —if, instead of seeking to inspire them with confidence, we take for our maxim that the people of India should be governed as a conquered people, which, as I under stand it, means that they should be governed by sheer force ; if, in our pride or impatience, we refuse to show forbearance and indulgence to the weakness and short comings which offend us, we shall not worthily repre sent England in the great work which lies before her, and we shall assuredly fail to accomplish it. I have been led to make these observations because I desire, to express the great satisfaction with which I have watched the spirit in which all dealings or relations of the East India Railway Company, have been conducted. It bears upon a subject the importance of which I cannot exaggerate, and in regard to which there is not one Englishman in India, fiom the Governor-General in his camp to the artisan seeking his livelihood l who does not carry in his keeping a portion of the etedit and good name of England.

FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS ; Wednesday ; Nov: The eoneeSsietial 'Jolley which has beets irianga rated by the Emperor; though, as I have men tioned; . of in terms of approval by the • ipier - 6 side as Well ae its agreeable one, in the estimation Of a 1p.1.r4e tiortioti of the reflecting public. , Those who have arrived-at the persuasion that the changes resolved on are calculated to strengthen the Napoleonic dynasty, reason thus Napoleon 111., they say, since the com mencement of his reign ; has followed one ruling idea, vii.; to Contiliate the ginththips of the English, nation; Old above all; the liberal party in that ceiiiitty; Quite recently he ha t s give4'siii ardent proof of this, by 'concluding With England a treaty of cominere of such a kind, that, if it could be carried out without serious inconven ience for some years between the two people, all armed strife would become almost impossible, in consequence of the oolidarite of the enormous commercial interests which would be established between them. The constant mistrust of the British nation with 'respect to the Imperial yeinnient being Only Slightly Modified since the ratification Of the treaty; and the pacific efforts of M. de Persigny having been folloWed by only very limited degree of success, as the recent speeches of the Ministers of Cineen Victoria, the Emperor of the French desired td give to the British people one pledge more of his respect for England, by conferring on France institutions of a more liberal character, England appears to be convinced that the F'r'ench nation would not willingly associate itself with upolicyr which would be calculated to- issue sooner of later in an armed struggle between two great Maritime nations. It was, therefore, especially' with a view to reassure the national senti ment in England that Napoleon 1.11: thought of giving to the French nation, in the person of its represelitativeS, a more considerable share in the gthrenrinelit of the State: Nov ii as a war with England is, amidst all the eventualities of that nature; that which most scares material interests, anything that tends• to remove that apprehension to a distance midst necessarily be of a nature to reassure publio opipion, and enhance the confidence of men en gaged 'in the business of commerce, ,of 'trade, and of finance. In the second place, the very fact of the return of the government of the Emperor to constitutional and parliamentary notions must -be regarded as a guarantee of peace given to the nation, for no one is ignorant that it is generally admitted even by the Frenell, people themselves—warlike as is their tempera meat, and liable as, they are to yield to the intoxication of glory and of conquests—that the deliberative assemblies have always shown them selves opposed to warlike tendencies and to the policy of "adventure" and national pre ponderance. Lastly, in this first essay since the accession of the second empire in the constitutional path of parliamentary, ideas there are not a few men who are willing to recognise in it an important step towards a sys tem of security, which is so favourable, if we are to -judge from precedents, to the developnient of confidence and of credit. Besides, it is added, the new measures adopted „by the Government of the Emperor, being designed to supply the liberal party in France with the elements of strength necessary to neutralise the retrograde tendencies of the elergrand the hostility of the political and ultramontane Catholics, they are calculated to be especially well deceived by the Israelitish element in France, whose preponderance, in questions Of finance and of credit, becomes every day more considerable. But now for the opposite view, for there are many who. will look only- at the reverse side of the medal. -These persons are found chieV among those morose and restless spirits who' go to sleep every night dreaming' of a general war, and who awake in the morning after a night spent in visions of famine, anarchy, and revolu tion. Unhappily, for some years back, events having often justified these dismal forebodings , this lugubrious group is constantly being re cruited by numerous disciples ; so that one hears it said that what was formerly only an exces sively small and exceptional sect on the 'Bourse , " has beCome a school, almost .an army." It is true that this party has been flying in. disorder before their opponents for some time past; but in the act of flying they have fired, more Pal thorunt, a number of sharp arrows into the midst of their rejoicing adversaries.
