NORTIRIIN DAILY TIMES

The advices from the Continent are almost, entirely con-
fined to the details of the meagre outlines we have previously
received by telegraph. 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 bind this ,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 speakers paid a
high CompHine& .tollr. Kean as a prOfessional man and a
gentleman. A report of. the speeches of the Duke,of New-•
castle and Mr. Kean will be found in another column. -
It would appear that a meeting of the " Roman Catholic
Hierfrchy of Ireland" is to be held in. Dublin on the grid
