THE PORTE AND THE VICEROY,

In the Levant Herald of the 22nd we read :—" While
accepting the Imperial firman, the Khedive—as mentioned
by our Alexandria correspondent—bas replied to it in a
letter which has given but indifferent satisfaction to the
Porte. Nothing could be more deferential in terms, but
in substance it says this :—`Though in the interests of
present peace I have submitted, I consider my rights and
privilages to still be exactly what and where they were'
The only official notice taken of this was an immediate
order, by telegraph, to send up the 200,000 breech-loaders
and to direct the delivery over of the ironclads still at
Toulon to an officer of the Government, who leaves for
that purpose by the Marseilles steamer of to-day. To
this despatch no reply has been given up to last evening,
but a private telegram received this morning, and dated
Cairo yesterday, states that on the receipt of it an order
was at once telegraphed to Toulon for the vessels to
Proceed immediately to Alexandria. It is hazarding
little, therefore, to repeat our averment that the Egyptian
difficulty is not settled but only postponed."

INFLUENCE OF ALTITUDE ON TEMPER

All CE.

Dr. Marcet communicates a paper to the Bittiotheque
Uuiverselle et Revue Suisse, November 15th, 1869, in
which he gives the results of a series of observa-
tions made during an expedition to the Mont Blanc
chain of mountains. He employed a thermometer so
constructed that, whilst the bulb was under the tongue,
the height of the mercury could be read off by
means of a small mirror attached to the stem. The in-
strument was carefully graduated to fifths of a degree,
but variations not exceeding a tenth were readily visible.
The results he obtained were as follows :-1. The
temperature of the human body in the state of repose
does not ordinarily become less elevated at the summit
of high mountains than at tho level of the sea. Diminu-
tion in atmospheric pressure, therefore, does not appear to
have a marked influence on the temperature of the
body in a state of repose. 2 The tempera-
ture of the body appears progressively to dimi-
nish during the act of ascent. The degree of
this depression depends almost exclusively on the time
that has elapsed since the last meal. As a general rule,
rapid mounting, with free transpiration, produces the
greatest depression of temperature. 3. The temperature
of the body, after undergoing decrease during the ascent,
quickly augments when the body is again at rest, or even
when the rapidity of the ascent is diminished. 4. The
general feeling of indisposition, and in particular the
oppression at the heart, that is often experienced at great
altitudes, is accompanied with a remarkable depression of
temperature of the body generally.—Lancet.

AN EMPEROR OF SIAM ON THE PRO-
GRESS OF HIS COUNTRY.

The New York Independent of December 18th publishes
a literal copy of a letter written by " the elder of the two
youthful monarchs who at present occupy the throne of
Siam "to an American lady who was formerly a mis-
sionary in that country. "The penmanship," the Inde-
pendent states, "is almost as beautiful as copper-plate
engraving." The King begins by acknowledging with many
thanks the receipt of a congratulatory note from his fair cor-
respondent, which, ho tells her, "called up many refreshing
memories of childhood," " Numerous changes," he adds,
" have taken place, and you would barely recognise
Bangkok could you be transported here." Noticing briefly
the reigns of his uncle and his father, and the accession of
his cousin and himself, be proceeds :—" Treaties were
made with all the great Powers of the West. Europeans
and Americans resorted hither for trade. An extensive
commerce has been the result. This city has greatly im-
proved in its appearance, its buildings, roads, and canals.
Beautiful square-rigged vessels and steamers are now
owned by the Siamese Government, and Siamese
merchants. The industry, produce, and wealth of
the country have correspondingly advanced. . . .
Peace and prosperity exist throughout the length and
breadth of the kingdom, and long may it continue, will
doubtless be yours, as it is my earnest wish." His Majesty
then requests her to accept "as a keepsake from your
once baby friend." a set of Siamese coins and a silver cigar-
box, finished on the outside with gold, and ho thus con-
cludes :—" My honoured mother and other ladies of the
palace wish to be remembered to you. Accept my best
wishes for yourself, your husband, and your son, and
believe me, yours truly, K. P. B. PAwAB &THAN MONGOL,
Second King of Siam, &T., &c., &c."

THE FUTURE LEADER OF THE COMER-

VATIVE.

The John Butt or to-day has a leader on this subject, anct
says that no event of the past year is so fraught with
disastrous consequences to the Conservative party as the
death of Lord Derby. Even when he ceased to be leader,
his former followers still trusted him ; and before that,
when he still led, lie inspired the utmost confidence so
that oven when he took a " leap in the dark " there
was no wavering on the tart of those behind him.
Mr. Disraeli is not to be blamed for his Reform
bill. Though the small boroughs have been sacrificed,
the large ones will doubtless before long follow
the example of the Lancashire towns, and support
the Conservative party. But to bring about this
result there must be a definite Conservative policy.
"There must be a complete cessation of the fatal policy of
negation and expediency." If our leaders (continues our
contemporary) do not believe in their own principles, how
can they expect enthusiastic and devoted followers ? At
this moment the question of the Conservative leadership
in the House of Lords is being discussed. Ai we inti-
mated some time ago, our own opinion inclines to the
Duke of Marlborough or the Duke of Richmond as the
best leader under the present exceptional circum-
stances. There is, we believe, little doubt that
Mr. Disraeli desires the Earl of Derby to succeed his
lamented father, and the wish does him credit. But we
cannot think it the duty of John Bull to pursue any course
but the bold and outspoken one of saying in public what
Mr. Disraeli knows is' said in every club and drawing-room.
He is not popular, and he cannot, therefore, afford to ap-
point an unpopular leader in the House of Lords. Ho is
profoundly distrusted (rightly or wrongly) by the old
Church party. The situation is far too critical a one
for the use of stammering language. The Con-
servative party is not, indeed, a disorganised
rabble, for it will always vote straight, whoever may be
its leaders; but the recent public utterances of Lord
Henry Thynne and Mr. Newdegate bear witness to the
intense dissatisfaction which exists amongst the rank and
file. Men are loath to cast a slight on Mr. Disraeli's un-
doubted services or on his splendid abilities; but we warn
him that the interests of the party, which are iden-
tical with those of the country, must rise para-
mount to all personal considerations. It is not too late
for him to retrieve the day. Let him shew himself in
earnest, and then, notwithstanding the way in which the
Fenians have played Mr. Gladstone's game, he need not
despair of success. It is not too much to say that on the
attitude assumed by Mr. Disraeli with regard to the
religious and educational questions now pending,
hangs the existence of Church and State in
England. We know what line the late Earl of
Derby would have taken. We know what course the
Duke of Marlborough and Mr. Gathorne Hardy will adopt.
Can we affirm the same with truth of the present Earl of
Derby and Mr. Disraeli? The true policy of the Censer
vative party is to throw aside a mere waiting policy—in
the hope of taking advantage of Liberal divisions—and to
boldly enunciate their own views. Let them put honestly
before the country, on Church matters, the policy enun-
ciated by Mr. Disraeli in his famous speech; and on
secular politics let them make these the five points
of their charter—(l.) That England shall not be
entirely governed by Ireland and Scotland; (2) that our
Colonies shall not be deserted; (3) that false economy,
involving such fearful distress to the people, shall not
co-exist with taxation payable in advance ; (4) that free
trade shall not be one-sided; and (5) that the dwellings
of the poor shall not be pigsties, and the workhouses pri-
sons. If some such programme were put forward, enthusiasm
would take the place of apathy, and gloomy anticipations
give way to well-founded hopes for the future.

The Tablet notices, "as an indication that the re-
pentance of Victor Emmanuel is probably sincere, that the
prefect and other magistrates of his kingdom were in-
structed to prohibit any public manifestations against the
Vatican Council."

According to the Tea le Francais, a I‘l. S-, of
Montmorency, has solved the problem of fCrial navigation,
by constructing a machine which can be guided through
the air as readily as a cab on land, and by means of which
he confidently expects to go from Paris to Marseilles in
four hours.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN FRANCE.—A. petition
was presented to the French Senate a few days since by
a Member of the Institute, recommending that the
execution of prisoners convicted of capital crimes
should hereafter be conducted, as at present in England,
within the walls of prisons, in the presence of certain
specified authorities. The petition was warmly advocated
on the report on its contents; but the Government Com-
missioner treated it with marked reserve, and expressed
his opinion that the object of the petitioners was to make
an indirect approach to the total abolition of capital
punishment. The Senate proceeded to the order of
day,
