A SPECIAL EDMON of th. " EXPRESS,"
esaiaining J. malts of th. day's Races, in put:r-
ibbed every everting daring the Sporting Samoa, at
nix o'elciek.

Soot demon who delights in making the pablia
discontented, mad in bringing respectable authori-
ties into disrepute, seems to have whispered to them
•• Have* taste," and is landing them, to imitation of
emperors and kings, to cover the land with stately
landings. Railway Directors and members of the
Intimlater, have alike expended the funds of their
senstitaents in providing magnificent halls for them-
selves and coostractiag architectural ornaments
which provoke mach more criticism than respect.
Ones founders of colleges who assume to instruct
mankind panne the same course, and when two or

twee moderate-axed houses connected into one
would have sufficed for the growth of the infant
institution in Gower.street, it was stifled by a mat
building with a magnificent though useless portico.
The funds which might have purchased the services
of accomplished professors, and have acquired repu-
tation and pupils for the University, were wasted in
• vain attempt to rival err surpass the architectural
grandeur of what was thee the Chamber of Deputies.
For nearly thirty years it has existed unfinished as
a warning, but in vain, for its ambitiom founders
have since had many followers. Somerset House,
begaa in 1776; and scarcely yet completed; the
Treasury, a palatial front, hidings mean set of cham-
bers, a medley of incomplete designs ; and the Par-
liament Holmes, not yet finished, though twenty-four
years have elapsed since the site was cleared for a
new building by a conflagration, warn the puling,

authorities oftentimes extremely ridiculous.

Overlooking such examples, however, the Metro-
. psis= Board of Works is about to try its skill in
• ereamenting the metropolis. It has bought, or horn
"agreed to buy, the lease of Berkeley-home in Spring-
ens, and to give for it 60W. The house is held

Ihe Board is to pay only 3101. a year. A my

at that point, and the Board has seselei
to spend not hes than 18,0001. on a bill

art can erect a large substantial and
building; and the Beard contemplates making ittimi
ornament of the new entrance. It is no doubt se
excellent work to adorn the metropolis, but it is
Will mare excellent to merit and receive the gym-
bation of our feilow-citizena. The ratepayers lib.
fortunately do not see the utility of this pod
building to them, though it might be exceedingly
pleamant to the Chairman and Secretary to have a
noble residence at this West-end ; and even vestries
which have contracted debts to build halls for them-
selves, object to the project of the Metropolitan
Board. The House of Commons, as it worked out
with earnestness and vigour the freedom and dee-
thee of the nation, was contented with an old
itapter room of an abbey, or a dimmed Royal chapel,
Les its sittings, and has only acquired a palace for

they will provide it with • suitable reediest, sad it
would be sulk mow honourable to wait till then for
au appeepriete abidleg place, than build a palace
to itself Wars It has alarmed a high rank in the
palilie esteem.

- Against this and all similar projects there are two
strong objections. The funds for building them are
eitained by rates, and it has become a common
prisctios, strongly recommended by speculating
Inevoiern to spread the cost of such public works
over many years. They are now generally
built by authorised loans, to be redeemed
in a certain number of years. They burden the rates
thenfore with a debt, and as similar works ant
demo required, the debt, though continually re-
deemed, is also continually increased. A great
usher of perishes are new, in consequence, bor.
dined with debts, and they add very inooeveoiwtly.
to the heavy charges the national debt imposes on
the future industry of the people. Ms sass prin.
siple of spreading the swat of public worker over a
member of year, might be equally Mel/ followed oat
by gradually collecting the mosey beforehand, and
not beginning the work till mousy enough to com-
plete it had been saved. This would guard opting
booty undertakings, and ensure a thorough mirk-
glom that the work war required before it was set
shoot. lo most useful undertakings this principle Is
Manny followed, and works are only begun after
the funds to complete them are in hand.

buildings by borrowed money; and only by bar-

polftan Board expend 15,0001. The coasting of
present ratepayers will not otherwise be obtained.
The other objection is that all such buildings
entail** the pliblic additional expense. They an
built to be worked in, and if there be no work to do,
work must be found. Mr. BABBAGE has shows
that all the parts of industry are mutually
dependent on one another, and that no one
sae be enlarged or curtailed without causing
some corresponding chair's or adjustments in the
etissr parts. If more yarn be spun, there must be
somewhere mere looms to weave it, or more cloth
wove. The ease principle holds throughout
society. The new building will make mare clerks
and men porton sesnerry. The conveniences for'
doing tsunami will compel the Board to do business,
and it will be eager to increase its occipatioas, whe-
ther natal or not. Correspondence will be inviti-
plied, everything to be done will be written sheet,
and the records of the Board, which now perhaps
woad scarcely fill a eolioiser's box, will soon become
too voluminous even for the new building.
Already Ragland seems fut becoming like France
and Germany, when everything is regulated, and
all real work is stifled under interminable writings.
We lave before us two Parliamentary papers issued
in the late Session, referring to emigrants from
China. They fill 122 folio pages, and chiefly
concern the evasion by two ships of the Act of
1863, regulating the British vessels tarrying such
emigrant. It is astosishiag to remark the refer-
eeing of the Board of Trade to the Colonial-ofilce,
el** Cassia!-othos to the Fonign-ofiloe, or beak
In the Beard of Trade, or to the Emigration Coin-
adeidesers, and to and fro from one Board sr place
to smother. In the two publication, nearly all the
reports, despatches, and references are repeated twp
or three times; and one certificate of clearance is
published no lees than six times, with no other dif-
ference in all the copies than the misspelling of a
single name. Such an immense mus of writing
and printing is partly the consitqaence of providing
eenvenienoes for transacting business, whether it
night to be treinected or not. And if the Board
of Works be allowed to build the proposed
pelage, it will be compelled to find work,
whether useful or not, to do in it. Already it has
demonstrated usaaswerably, that it talks and writes
a great deal more than is necessary. It is the parent
of almost interminable controversies ; and now to
Metal it in a magnificent abode, before it has given
any proof of its capacity for business, will only inflate
its vanity, end augment its valueless labours. More
respect in its projects should be exhibited for the
property of the ratepayers, unless the Board wishes
to be classed with those rulers who ruin their sub-
jects to gratify their own architectural cute.

On the 19th of the present month Lord
BROUGHAM completed his eightieth year; on the 21st
he delivered at Grantham, on the occasion of inaugu-
rating the Newton Statue. a most comprehensive,
elaborate, and elegant eulogium on that greatest of
natural philosophers, the report of which very
nearly filled three closely-printed columns of the
daily journals. This plain statement of fact super-
sedes the necessity of all comment. A
more wonderful evidence of sustained intents-
tual exertion at a period of life so advanced
is not to be met with in the snook of any age or
country. A close examination of the quality of
this moot remarkable performance increases the
astonishment which the mere mention of such a feat,
even without regard to quality, is certain to excite.
Lord Baottonzst's eulogiam is anything bat a mere
*onto of sonorous and eloquent commonplaces. It is
popular and yet philosophical, rhetorical and
yet scientifically accurate. The mind from which
it emanated is deeply versed in the science
whose triumphs are the subject of com-
memoration, intimately penetrated by the sub-
lime truths whose discovery end exposition it is
the aim of the orator to set forth. No didactic man
of the closet, with amplest opportanity for tribune
and correction, could more accurately and precisely
have enumerated the preeesiseat claims of Newton
to the foremmet place among the sages of the world.
Tot this precise and ses•rate delineation was
.effected within the neessearily restricted eon:pale
of a popular address, pronounced before • mixed
audience ; composed ander the conditions, which were
strictly complied with, of being intelligible to the hart
cultivated of the hearers who thronged to the cele-
bration. This careful sad accurate composition was
delivered with perfect fluency and consummate
grace, without reference to a mote or a memoran-
dum, by a man past eighty years of age, the
prime of whose life hod been sprit in the wordy
wrangles of law, and the fierce warfare of politics
and of party ; by a man who had been a brilliant
reviewer, a saconsful lawyer, a vehement Oppo-
sition leader ; the great opponent of slavery,
the powerful champion of education end
legal reform. In the blaze of all this
varied achievement, it had almost come to be
forgotten that the earliest smog the youthful
triumphs of this versatile genius were won in the
field of physical science—a field which, as he could
find or make opportunity, he has never ceased at
intervals to cultivate through the varied changes of
• most exciting and eventful life. The great men of
a great sr are passing away too rapidly from the
midst of the present generation to allow of oar pro-
log by in snows an exhibition in every way so
remarkable as this enlogiem on NEWTON by the
octogenarian Hewer BIOOGRAM.

• mat PARIS, W111)14IDAT Enema:
The organs of the Legitimist party are forging
some terrible (paper) thunderbolts, to be launched
against English dominion in India. The aware de
fivisee of yesterday evening supposes the eventu-
ality of England being vanquished in her struggle
with the rebate in her great Eastern depends nay
(distorting some remarks of the COMililal4llllll4 is
order to drag in that journal as supporting its views),
and then asks the question, what, in that osoe, ought
to be the lino Of conduct pursued by Fiume
and the other commercial powers of the
Continent, in order to preserve that vast empire
to civilisation? The writer of the antidote (M.
Janina) does not venture to answer his own ques-
tion, acid the reader who should put down the
journal at its conclusion, would be doomed to depart
unenlightened on the .dielcult point. What M.
Janina has failed to do is achieved threugh a
strategic disposition of the materials supplied for the
day's number of the journal. The next column
contains a review of a trashy brochure, entitled
"La prance dans lee Men Asiatiques," which
has lately been given to the public, and in
this remarkable production the solution
of the difficulty is propounded. Before I
benumb the faculties of the English reader
I will enable him to form a judgment of
the author's view, and to apprenate the beauties of
his style. "It was not with marries" he insures
us, "that Earops reamed the news of the Indian
insurrection." And why? Because Europe knows
that " sooner or later Clod punishes crime, and so
Europe wondered not that the hour of England's
chastisement had arrived. . . . The struggle
became bloody and fall of horrors. . . . The
roost cruel and barbarous were the misnamed
etvilised men. . . . The English press attained
w pitch of rage and madness hitherto unknown."
We now begin to get an inkling of the author's
aim:
But sores low, der MTh= made Ilia heard in France,

We know not what will be the issue of those thiferenom of
opinion but we shall in these peps attempt to prove that
the Inaction of Prenes at each a moment will be an enormous
error—that a slight link may hind am mare oar position in
Alia not only to our padtal neuronq, but to our internal
tranquility—that it is urgent, indispsneable, for our country
to have possessions is the Asiatic sees.
The grand drama of the But India Company is,
it seems, according to this pamphleteer, to be played
by French performers, reduced to a vaudeville. A
French company is to be formed—S. G. D. 0.
(soft gorontie sir gosoernessent)—for the somewhat
indefinite purpose of "establishing with economy
and promptitude French influence in protected'
states"—Protected, of course, by the tri-ooloured flag.
How the territories of this new company are to be
obtained, or their particular locality, the author
leaves to the imagination of his readers. The
English model, however, is held up for imitation.
"England has found in liindostan, not only the
service of prodigious wealth, but the guarantee of
lwr internal peace. Moreover, she has found in this
security and this wealth the merino of aggrandising
herself, at the expense of other nations "—on obvious
pleonasm. If England was enabled to sggrandise
herself by means of this security and this wealth,
I she has no need to make other nations pay the
piper. "Does not this ingenious system convey
immense instruction to oar country P If Frame WY
not, like England, younger sons of noble families to
provide for, has she not innumerable men
dissatisfied with their lot, min not understood
(iiseompris) and outcasts (dielants). Has she not
need of bettering the condition of her Asearea, and
of auguring herself a durable peace ? It in notations
that the colonial &cameo of Prinee is $4, bit attri-
buted to nothing but kw internal troubles, and her
financial pontios, which has prevented her from
scimpotiag with British gold." Briefly, then, these
Amuses isseenepris and &Wattle are to be shipped
off by the proposed company to the promised load. 1
Of the colony he says, that " sets of its chief cost
ditioos of nooses would be its independence of the
state." He gives the state a rub when he says that
" The colony would thus be freed from the bicker.

will favour the world with his opinion upon our
author's scheme.

THE TREATY WITH CHINA.

(Fmk rinds?* Moisikr:)

The expedition sent to China has attained the
object proposed by the Emperor. On the one band,
fall satisfaction is gives for oar legitimate grievances,
and the chastisement inflicted on the magistrate
guilty of the murder of Father Chapdelaine will be
made public throughout China ; on the other hand,
a treaty, signed almost at the gates of Pekin, assures
to our trade and our missionaries free access to the
heart of the Celestial Empire. The barriers of ages,
that were still keeping in isolation from the rest of
the world a territory peopled by nearly IWO millions
of inhabitants, are deliaitively overthrown : Chins
is completely opened, and can in future no longer •
withdraw herself from the action of the civilising
movement.
It was on the 27th of Inns last that Baron Oros
i
signed the treaty of lien-Tan. To appreciate its
entire mportant*, we mast not forget what the re-
Lotions of the Western Powers have hitherto been
with China, and bow limited the advantages were
that resulted from
The war between linked and Chios bad led, in
1849, to the asmelnding el a treaty, which, ley placing

Kingdom, geoid' to them certain ports, granted
them guarantors for their COOMUCTOO and per-
sons, and crested the first elements of in-
ternational law, hitherto unknown in China.
By the Convention of 1844, France secured.
to herself the benefit of these different clauses,
and obtained moreover from the Emperor the

But if this first wooer had an undoubted value
we must nevertheless admit that the access granted
vs to the Chinese territory, being restricted to five
ports, did not constitute an adequate concession. It
is to be observed also that the measure taken in
favour of the Chinese Christians by the edict of Tao.,

and uit emulated solely from the Imperial will,
this act did not,pcesees the force of a convention en-
gagement, nor did it authorise, moreover, in any way
the preaching of Christianity or the entrance of
missionaries into the . provinces of the Celestial
Empire.
On the other band, the foreign missions were only
permitted to reside at Maoso er Hoag Song, and
had never been able to transact business with any
other save the Viceroy of Canton. Our diplomatic
mission was compelled, like the other', to fix its
residence without the Chinese territory, and always
found the impossibility of communicating direct
with the central government. This state of things
occasioned serious inconvenience, by placing. foreign
representatives in a position of inferiority that
rendered their action utterly inefficacious, and wen-
promised the respect due to them in the Chinese
mind.

The treatment and advantages which the Empe-
ror'. gorernmentdeemed it expedient to demand are
now formally and unreservedly reseeded to us.
All the important ports of the Chinese coast, as
well as all the peat routes of communication
throughout the interior, are open to our shipping
and trade. Onr fellqw-coontrynies, 'who by the
terms of the treaty of 1844 were only allowed to
enter five ports, will be able henceforth, being fur-
Wiled with pares, to travel without hindrance over
all parts of China.
It is not now by virtue of a spontaneous edict on
the part of the sovereign that Chinese Christians
come to have cause of apprehension from the perse-
cutions of the mandarin; it is in virtue of conven-
tion stipulations, which, acknowledging the benefits
of the Christian doctrine, abolish the laws that
prescribed it, and permit the missionaries of the
West to move freely stoat the interior of the empire
for the purpose of propagating it among the Chinese.
The Viceroy of Canton ceases to be the compulsory
medium of our communications • the representative
of France will that direct with ;he cabinet of Pekin,
and to this end he obtains the right of residence in
that capital. The advantages of this concession,
against which Chinese pride especially revolted, are
manifest. Henceforth we shall have no cams to
fear that the disloyalty of certain officials will
impede the prompt and satisfactory solution of what-
ever differences may arise. These direct immuni-
sations with the Chinese cabinet will, as a conse-
quence, dissipate more than one erroneous concep-
tion, and enlighten on many points a government
that has almost every thing to learn about the nations
of the West..
Commerce will receive new developments by favour
of the rights acquired for the future by merchants
of buying direct and without a go-between their
wares upon the very spot when they are prodarred.
A new revision of the tariffs will make the customs
duties harmonise with the fluctuations of prime.
Goode will no longer be subjected to arbitrary sun.
charges levied on them during their transit by the
provincial mandarins; the government will publish
a uniform transit duty. The tonnage duty will be
similarly reduced.
Commercial skipping has long demanded a seeMity
that fail it in the seas where piracy commits its
ravages with impunity. Measures will be taken
for the destruction of this scourge.
Lastlb the Chinese government hat engaged to
pay to France a sum of 18 millions of francs, not
only u reparation for the losses sustained by French
merchants, but as a compensation for the expenses
occasioned by the war.
The prayers formed by all enlightenell minds have
consequently been herd. China, forced out of her
immobility and isolation, will pass under the happy
influent* of Christianity and civilisation, and at the
same time, in the commercial movement of the
world, will take the part assigned to her by her im-
mense rmouroes.

It will not be amiss to finish with the remark this
if malts of such importance have been obtained it
the end of the world with a military force of so
small an amount, it ought to be attributed both to
the good understanding happilymaintained between
the governments of Prance and England, and to the
valour of which the seamen of both countries lave
jut given fresh proofs.
