trust the House of Commons, when it
assembles again, will not fail to take notice of Mr. Disraeli's
emphatic denial that he ever approved oL.tvrannicide. I
recollect reading his " Revolutionary E thirty years
ago, end bearing the rumour prevalent at t t time that the
young novelist and poet was a Carbonate and a member of
other European revolutionary societies. He has no doubt
altered his °Makes Mace then ; but his vehement persecu-
tion of Mr. Staosield and Signor Ifersini in the House of
Commons was in very bed taste. No one knew better than
Mr. Disraeli that Mr. Stanfield merely secured Massiat's
oorrespoodeoce from being tampered with, thereby pre-
venting the destruction of virtuous patriots like the Brothers
Beadier*.

Horst or Commalca—Mr. Ward is about to

commence another picture on the wall of the cor-
ridor of the Home of Commies. The subject will be
"The Seven Bishops leaving Weetminster-Itall,as described
hyLord IHaesulay.
DIARY OF THE J•PANESE AMEARSADORA.—The
Japanese Mohammedan who lately visited this country
have published their diary through the bookseller Foo.yab,
at Yeddo. Among other things it is therein said that the
people of the west are very little different from each other ;
the dresses are the same as well as the weapon, though one
nation manses them better then mother ; the French,
above all, appear to excel therein. Ceremonies and bosomy
are very easy. and the honours to be paid to a sovereigu
are very nearly the same as to a person of inferior reek
—one takes his bat off, makes a small reverence, and there-
with the thing is finished. At our audiences with the
princes they were not separated from as by a curtail' ; even
the princess was not veiled, aid rite as high as the prince.
The lords were very civil, even too Heil, for they allowed
us to eat and drink more then was in accordance with our
ceremouies. The lower classes were lees civil, and annul-
vocally demonstrated that they thought us ugly. Aetceg
the women there are many haw/sortie ones—among others,
the Empress of the French. They run like a man. In order
to appear taller they wear a high bonnet. Even frishionble
women dance very mac ; they hang us the arm of the rata,
sad one sees the men fropeetly run aloe( the street in the
arms of women. We behave them to be their own wine.
Women in general enjoy ton much liberty, and the fashion-
able ones wear the Name dresses as those of the lower class.
The dream of the women, especially at night, is not always
decent. Excepting the Dutch women, all other European
women stead below the French. The men are stiff, =alsm,
sod a little proud ; they wear no weapons, and very
the distinction of their rank. It appears that everybody,
and even the fashionable people, frequent the cake. High
officers even frequent the theatres. We were sorry we
could not understand everything there. Almost everybody
had a spying•glass, which, perhaps from distrectroa. was
always directed at us. The merchants are peered, aad the
shopkeepers do not like one to taro their articles too much
about. It annoyed us very much to see raw meat exhibited
in the towns. Eating meat is often very bee/thy, but why
exhibit it to everyone! la Paris sod Loudon they nu
(walk) very fart, just as they do in our eouatry when there
is a fire. The houses are so high that they must be de-
stroyed at the first earthquake. They appear, however, to
stead against firs.

THE CONFEMEICIL 4 •

"Should the conference ammo*" says the la-
&pendants, "Austria and Prussia will propose
the union of the two duchies, and their &thank-
trative and political separation from Denmark.
They would only remain united to the Danish Mo-
narchy by the personal bond of a common Sove-
reign. Russia would prefer a return to the stipula-
tions of 1851-52 ; the Germanic Confederation will
demand the union of the duchies, and a
complete autonomy under a new dynasty—
that of the Augostenburgs, whilst France
might favour those views in a certain
measure, in asking that the populations should be
consulted, and that the expression of their wishes
should be accepted by the powers. For this latter
solution to be adopted, however, it must be first
preceded by an armistice and the complete evacua-
tion of the territory. While awaiting the deve-
lopment of the policy of France, the Paris journals
which draw their inspirations in governmental
regions, without directly opposing the conference,
direct their efforts to show, on the one hand, what
difficulties remain to be surmounted, and, on the
other, how the project, as it has been formed by
England, that is to say, without fixed bases pro-
posed beforehand, may justly give rise to the ob-
jections which England opposed to the congress."
