Good knights and true, both of them—we must
give each his due ; it would not be easy for either
to have fought better, and we hope some day to
have another such interlude—yet, did the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer carry his point, while the
ex-Secretary to the Admiralty did not carry his ;
and the impromptu reply was, of course, a more
difficult task than the studied attack.
It is not a little curious to compare the attacks
and the retorts of these capital Champions—the
Knight from Dover and the Knight from Bucks.
DOVER.—I demand your policy—all new Minis-
ters ought to avow one. It is nothing to us in
this House, that a Noble Lord, in " another

wise as we were before. Bucxs.—Our policy you
will not have. Your own side, twice lately, did
not give one. Lord JOIN RUSSELL appealed, as
I do, to his chief's (Lord ABERDEEN'S) statement,
which told nothing, in the House of Lords, and
Lord PALUERSTON, in 1855, though Premier, and

The object of the Times is clearly a political one,
the whitewashing of the late Government by
showing that the measure, the introduction
whereof cost them place and power, was just and
necessary. But GOD forbid that the British law
should be so grossly perverted, or that either any
free-born Englishman, or still less the stranger
within our gates, the claimant on our hospitality,
should be exposed to the slightest annoyance or
inconvenience to please any foreign Prince or
Potentate. Dr. BERNARD will stand or fill, on the
actual facts ; and it would be a very injudicious
friend that would, until his guilt is established,
attempt to ride off on a collateral issue, or attempt
to raise doubtful points of law which may never
be required. For the present we are contented
to let the matter rest in the hands of the law
officers of the Crown. When the trial has ter-
minated we may, should there be any necessity
therefor, offer some observations on what may
have taken place.

did with the Jews. There was Snlitzseurx,
and, to the last, HARROWS; kicking the poor
Jews as unkindly as the present Chancellor, and
that while you made a Government measure of
the Bill. Dovsn.—Church Rates then—l insist
that you tell me how you will square the family
matter between Lord STANLEY, abolitionist, and
Lord STANLEY'S father, the compromiser, I sup-
pose, and Mr. HENLEY, who thinks them all right.
Bross.—And, again, I wish to know what your
people did ? We were, many of us, here ou Wed-
nesday, lith February—on that day, memorable
in Church Rate conflict, we saw an Under-Secre-
tary of State and a Noble Lord, holding a high
office in the Household, voting against the Minis-
terial suggestion, while the H•nourable Member
for Dover, and most of the other members of
Government, including the Premier, stayed away
DOVER.—But that Indiaßill—youallvoted against
the abolition of the Company— you now are going
to abolish it yourselves—you sly you do so in
deference to a large majority of this House. I
hope, then, you will show your deference to ma-
jorities by carrying through a bill for Jewish
Emancipation, which so many majorities have
sanctioned. Bucirs.—l beg your pardon. We
do not bete to majorities ; but your majority has
ruined the Company's influence, and we must now
do the best we can to remedy the mischief.
DOVER.—Ah, but Reform—there I have you.
Lord DEIST thinks, for his own part, we need
none ; you think the Reform Bill, which Lord
DERBY helped to make, was a gross Whig job ;
your Attorney-General has succeeded to the late
I'LL /tows O'CoNNott, in this House, and Lord
STANLEY is the rational Reformer. What sort of
Reform are we to have ? Buexe.—And pray
what sort of Reform have we had, or should we
have had from you! Take the last division on
the Ballot—a point so interesting to all earnest
Reformers—l find the Prime Minister, the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, and the President of the
Board of Control, all voting against the Ballot ;
but a Noble Lord high in office in the Household,
the Attorney-General, the Vice-President of a
Board, and the distinguished Secretary, for the
Ballot. What kind of a Reform Bill, I beg to
ask, were we to have from you ? As to " the
gross Whig job," it is no expression of mine.
But in the unreasoning haste and excitement of
the time many jobs were perpetrated in support
of a political party, and none will now deny it.
And thus the battle was waged ; and many
such thrusts and counter-thrusts were exchanged
by the knights of debate, and cheers from the spec-
tators attested the prowess of each, and encouraged
their natural goodwill to the cceadict of the com-
batants ; and we are confident that both deserved
the thanks of the House for the valiant evening's
entertainment, not less, though on different
grounds, than the Indian combatants to whom
thanks had just been voted. One lesson was cer-
tainly deeply impressed on us by the combat—
one moral taught us—that no mortal could tell
which would give us the best Reform Bill, a
Conservative Liberal Ministry, or a Liberal Con-
servative Ministry. Time alone can tell that.

over those vast dominions. This, moreover, ineon

gruously enough at the very time when he and
his colleagues were preparing to snatch from a
kindred authority the governance of another (not
more vast but more populous) dominion. While
the ex-Ministers were collectively prepared, in de-
ference tc one of the great requirements of the

time, to wrest from the Eastern JOHN COMPANY
the wielding of the viceregal sceptre of Hindostan,
the ex-Minister for the Colonies was confessedly
prepared, individually, to continue to another, it
may be called the Western JOHN COMPANY the

possessions of a Pro-consulate over an enormous
track of the North American continent, washed
in one direction by the icy billows of the Arctic

Ocean, and in another by the waters
of the Pacific. Immediately afterwards
the Government of our forty colonies—at the

transference, passing momentarily through the
grasp of Sir BULWER LYTTON—is handed over to
Lord STANLEY by Mr. Secretary LABOUCHERE.
And at that very crisis this important ONE out of
the great numerical aggregate of our colonial pos-
sessions, the Hudson's Bay Company's territory is
threatened with—ls JOHN BULL aware of what it

really is with which this gigantic domain of his on

beyoid the great American lakes, is at this mu-

ment seriously threatened
The Hudson's Bay Company's territory is

threatened, British soil is threatened, just at this
time, with nothing less than a wholesale incursion
of the champions and practisers of Mormonism
There has been one Hegira of this notorious sect
of polygamists already. There is the prospect of
another, and a Hegira that this time would bear
more the semblance of an Exodus. The Saints of
Utah, in other words, meditate seriously a whole-
sale migration from the neighlseurhood of the
Salt Lake across the frontiers of the United States
into the British North American possessions. To
say the ♦ery least of it, it is a prospect decidedly
unpleasant. Are we prepared to tolerate a sys-
tem so flagrantly and outrageously violating all
our ideas as to the sanctity of Home and Family
—and to do this at the very moment when having
not se ♦ery long ago put down the infernal Suttee
we are preparing to deal in some measare with
other frightful Hindoo superstitions.
How it has come to pass that there is this agree-
able chance of an invasion of one of our colonies
by the race of Mormons may soon enough be
related. Every one knows that the Utah settle-
ment has for some time past been in open rebel-
lion to the authority of the Federal Government.
The United States' army, under the command of
Col. JOHNSTONE, has taken up a formal position
at Camp Scott. That army is in a winter
encampment far removed from its supplies. Its
situation is one of considerable difficulty. It has
a fanatical and infuriated mob before it, an arid
wilderness behind it—deficient numbers in itself
and a resolute denial of any increase to those
numbers from the Republican Legislature. Pre-
sident BUCHANAN, without the capacity of sending
reinforcements to the troops under Colonel
JOHNST*NS, finds it only possible for him
to bide his time and wait for the chap-
ter of accidents. Meanwhile, threatened with
an onslaught from the forces (such as they are,
sent against them by the Government of Washington,
the saints are doing what a swashing Admiral, not
a thousand years ago, signalled to his Aeet, once
upon a time, in the B tlt!c—they are sharpening
their cutlasses ! They are getting ready for the
next spring campaign, under the guidance of
the redoubtable BRIGHAM YouNe, their great
Prophet-Generalissimo. Whether they will
really then " show fight," remains to be seen.
But at any rate they have proved thsmselves
adepts in the art of—what Samtizr. SLICK of
Slickvill somewhere calls absquatulating. They
are, is other words, simultaneously with the shar-
pening prooess already mentioned—getting ready
for a grand " move on" elsewhere. But " else-
where" it is suspected, it is reported, it is tolerably
certain will be across the United States frontiers
into the Hudson's Bay territory. Let Lord STAN-
LEY look well to it ! England will not have any
such squatters in her dominions !

The next session at the Central Criminal Court
may prove which is the highest legal authority—
the Lord Chief Justice of England or the Editor
of the Times. Lord CamrszeL has emphatically
announced that the existing law is amply suffi-
cient to punish all such offenoes. The Times,
desirous of justifying the truckling Conspiracy Bill,
is anxious to show that such is not the case ; and
having come into collision with the chief of the
highest criminal court ou a point of law, it now
attempts to teach the Attorney-General his duty.
So eager is it on this point, that it has committed

prove injurious to Spaniards, but endanger the re-
lations between Europe and America. He then
formally announced that General Zuloaga, the
new Mexican President, had promised to give
Spain every satisfaction, and he confirmed the fact
of M. Lafragua, the Mexican envoy, having been
dismissed, adding that a new envoy was likely to be
appointed. He concluded •by saying that he must
refuse to produce papers on the matter, and that any
discussion of it would be inopportune. M. Mazo,
who made the interpellation, expressed himself satis-
fied with the explanation given. The only piece of
news in the journals of the 12th is, that in order to
effect a saving of 13,000,000 f. in the budget of the
War Department, the Government had resolved on
allowing the soldiers of the class of 1853 to retire to
their homes.

FRANCE.
PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
Who, in case M. de Pessigny's resignation is
accepted, will be the new Ambassador to London ?
is the question now asked by every one. The Duke
of Grammont is supposed to have the best chance.
M. de Lavalette is also spcken of, though very
doubtingly. M. de Lavalette was the French
diplomatist at Constantinople, whose zeal with
respect, to the "Holly Places" was one of the dispos-
ing causes of the war with Russia.
The Commission now so long sitting at Bucharest
on the Danubian Provinces' question will probably
be soon dissolved. M. Walewski has had enough,
and more than enough, to wmay him besides that
Commission. It appears to be determined, then,
to bring the deliberations of the Commission to a
speedy end. The French fraction of the Commis-
sion has been informed that, Report or 110 Report,
it will not be considered as existing longer than
the end of the present month.
The Moniteur publishes the following :—" M.
Pietri, Prefect of Police, bad some months since
tendered his resignation to the Emperor, in conse-
quence of the state of his health. His Majesty
requested him to retain his functions until the de-
finitive conclusion of everything connected with
the late attempt. M. Pietri having now again re-
newed his application, the Emperor has accepted
his resignation with regret, expressing to him in a
letter how highly he appreciated his zeal and his
devotedness." An Imperial decree nominateslM.
Boittelle, Prefect of the Yonne, to be Prefect of
Police in the room of M. Pletri,
The Minister of Marine has sent a circular to the
maritime prefects advising the French navy to be
put on a war footing by May 1.
Ream-Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, commander-
in-chief of the French squadron in China, has ad-
dressed the following order of the day on the taking
of Canton :
" Sailors and soldiers—At the moment when
military operations are drawing to a close, I have
to congratulate you on your gallant conduct before
the enemy on the 28th and 29th December. For-
tunate rivals of our brave allies, you arrived the
first in Fort Lyn and on the breaches of Canton ;
the honour of the French flag and of the arms ct
the Emperor has been nobly maintained, and your
commander-in-chief thaliks you in the name of th•
country and of his august sovereign. Although
every one has done his duty, there are never-
theless some who nierit special mention. I there-
fore place on the order of the day, for their
conduct on the 28th, Sergeant-Major Martin des
Pallieres, who was the first to enter Fort Lyn, and
Lieut. de Vaisseau Ribourt, who gallantly carried
a Chinese entrenchment which harassed our left.
For the 29th, I place on the order of the dal
Capitaine de Vaisseau Collier, who led a column of
attack ; Lieutenant de Vaisseau Veriot, who posted
his battery beneath the ramparts, in order to
demolish the parapets ; and three sailors, Trian,
Pelissier, and Leerier. Soldiers and sailors—
Your task is not yet finished, 23 we must now, in
common with our allies, preserve order in a city
having a million of inhabitants. That difficult
mission cannot be accomplished without the obser-
vance of the strictest discipline, the most scrupulous
respect for the rights of the inhabitants, and the
most rigid surveillance. Do not forget that your
successes, brilliant as they are, must remain without
a stain ; it is at that price that you will merit the
good opinion of our illustrious Emperor. Five

The session of the Legislative Body will be closed,
it is believed, on the 17th April. The naval code
will be voted, as well, most probably, as the bill
now under examination by the Council of State
relative to the illegal assumption of titles of
' nobility ; but the new enactments which it is in-
tended to introduce in the forest laws will not be
brought forward until next year.
Prince Jerome continues to be very ill, although

" STOCKHOLM, March 16.—The Prince-Regent
has closed the legislative session. Ho delivered a
long address on the occasion, but made no allusion
to the relations of the country with foreign powers.
He expressed a hope that, in consequence of the
financial measures which had been adopted, the
deplorable crisis still existing might before long be
brought to a close."

A letter from Marseilles states that the mistral
still continues to blow with great violence, and that
fears were entertained of fresh disasters on the ,
coast. The underwriters had receives intelligence '
of three wrecks in the Gulf of Lyons. Almost all
the bodies of the crew of the Saint Andre, which
was lost some time ago near Agde, have been found.
That of M. D'Entrechaux, a passenger, was
discovered in the sand, one of the feet alone
being at tirrt visible. Thebody of the captain was
taken up 10 leagues from the spot where the
wreck took place. What makes the loss of the
Saint Andre more melancholy is that she had
actually reached the roadstead of Marseilles from
Madras, when a heavy squall compelled her to
again seek an offing. She had on board, in addition
to her own crew, seven men belonging to that of
1 another vessel whom she was bringing to France,
having saved them from a wreck at sea.

NAPLES.

NAPLIN, March 13.—Mr. Lyons arrived in Naples
on Thursday evening last. On this day he is to
have an interview with Signor Carafa previous to
his visiting Salerno, where his great purpose will
be to see Park rather than to watch over the trial.
Indeed, Mr. Lyons is so fully persuaded of the
satisfactory manner in which Mr. Acting Consul
Barbar has watched over British interests as to feel
it unnecessary to interfere.
In a recent letter it was stated that, by order of
the Sardinian Government, three captains of vessels,
one of them being a naval officer, had visited Naples
for the purpose of establishing the precise spot
where the Cagliari was taken, It would have been
more correct to have said that Ruvattini and Co.
sent down the captain of the merchant vessel, and
requested the Sardinian Government to allow a
captain in the service of his Majesty to accompany
them. This gentleman is Cavaliers Provana, cap-
tain of a frigate, and he is still in Naples. The ques-
tion between the two Governments is precisely
where it was, neither party receding ; the Neapo-
litan Government persevering with the trial, and
the Sardinian Government biding its time to make
doubly sure its case and assert its claims.
During the last few days we have had more
stormy weather than we have had for all the
previous winter. The Centaur, Captain Clifford,
C. 8., was compelled last Saturday to run over to
Bait. for shelter, where she is still lying, and the
postal steamers have as a consequence been very
irregular. At the same time that the sea has been
s) much agitated, the earth has not been less so.
The official journal, however, has the following
notice :--" On the night of the 9th instant three
shocks f eautiqOake were:felt at Lagonegro, of some
considerable duration, but harmless. On the fol-
lewingfelt, dayat 3 p.m., two ocher very violent shocks
were of the duration of nine or ten seconds
another more violent shock was felt at 8 p.m. ; and
on the morning of the 17th another still more vio-
lent, which listed five or six seconds. Though the
houses have suffered considerable injury, no other
incident is to be deplored except that of the con•
sternation of the people."

DENMARK.
" rho bill on the fortifications of Copenhagen,
admitted to a second reading by the Supreme
Council of Denmark,' says a letter from the
Danish capital, "appears likely to be adjourned.
As the ey.-minister, M. Blumhe, remarked, its adop-
tion would have the character of a political demon-
stration which would be very inopportune at a
moment at which it is permitted to hope for a
solution of the conflict with Germany. The
President of the Council, M. Hall, consented not
to call for the definitive vote of the bill, declaring
that the Danish cabinet has made,and is ready to
make all concessions compatible with the interest
of the country ; however, remarked that he
could not yet say what the nature of the concer-
sions would be. This language, though vague,
causes it to be believed that Denmark understands
her position, and that in her quarrel with the Ger-
manic Confederation she will not expose herself to
au objectionable isolation."

SPAIN.
The Mad, id journals of the 12th publish the text
of the speech delivered by M. Isturitz in the Con-
gress the preceding day in reply to an interpella-
tion on the Mexican affair. He said that the
Government would not echo the cry of war
aglinst Mexico which had been raised, and though
differences existed between Spain and that
country, they could be settled by negceb.
tiou as we'l as by arnl. After express-
ing the opinion that preceding Cabinets
had acted with prudence and patriotism in the
affair, he said that the differences between the two
c,untries wet e only tyro—first, that of the indemnity
due to Spaniards, on which the Mexican Govern-
ment had acted With little reason ; secondly,- the
events at Cuernavaca. He next said that England
and France had offered their intervention to pre-

WESTLAND MARSTON'S READINGS.

LITERATURE.

" ANNE BLASE."
On Saturday evening we had the gratification of
attending a "Private Reading" by this accom-
plished gentleman—the reading of one of the most
popular among his dramatic productions—Anne
Blake, a name familiar to us as that of a very
charming favourite. Although the occasion was,
strictly speaking, rather a test than a prelimi-
nary entertainment—it was so entirely and emi-
nently successful as a trial of the Playwright's capa-
city as an Elocutionist, that we cannot reasonably
hesitate to refer to it thus publicly, as the precursor,
in all probability, of many a repetition before audi-
tors both more numerous and more miscellaneous.
The audience of Saturday evening was restricted,
in a great measure, to the literary friends of the
author, yet it was an audience in every way
sufficiently critical to render the applause
accorded to Mr. Marston at the close of his enter-
tainment, valuable as a discriminative testimony of
merit rather than as a merely genial tribute of
friendship. Apart, however, from the intrinsic cha-
racter of that assemblage itself, an assemblage com-
posed for the most part of professional critics, critics
both of the closet and the theatre, fastidious book-
men and keen•witted playgoers—it could hardly
have failed to be otherwise as to the impartial nature
of the judgment pronounced upon this initial
" Reading" after the very manly and sensible re-
marks by which the reading itself was briefly but
earnestly introduced. Remarks in which Mr.
Marston, deprecating anything at all bearing the
semblance of partiality from his hearers, sought
merely the simplest and truest verdict as to his own
peculiar qualifications. The decision, we repeat,
was in every respect signally favourable : a re-
sult none the less satisfactory we should pre-
sume to Mr. Westland Marston himself from
the fact of his audience comprising among others
Charles Dickens, John Forster, W. J. Fox, M.P.
for Oldham, Hepworth Dixon, and ether eminent
literary contemporaries. The design is to break
down the barrier of an old prejudice hitherto sepa-
rating the theatrical world from a very considerable
section of the general community. The result of
this obdurate prejudice (arising, for the most part,
from pure misapprehension) being, of course,
singularly detrimental to the dramatic interest—
while it, at the same time, unintermittingly de-
bars the particular section of society referred to
from the enjoyment of what i.,, in reality, not
simply a harmless, but an eminently instructive,
and humanising, and elevating species of intellec-
tual entertainment. It is an old story enough, of
course, that of attempting to deal with this preju-
dice with a view to its ulterior dissipation. But
Mr. Marston's method of dealing with it
appears to us to be, in every respect, so novel,
so simple, so undeniably reasonable, from
first to last, that we cannot but think it gives
considerable promise of success—and we certainly
do not hesitate for a single instant to award to its
originator our heartiest good wishes in his endea-
vours. Mr. Marston conceives, as it appears to
us, not in any way extravagantly, that if some of
our living dramatic writers were to read to any one
who cared to come and hear them, those of their
dramas which have nightly drawn to the theatres
many hundreds of the playgoing population—the
non-playgoers might thus be made acquainted with
the real nature of the productions heretofore re-
garded by them through such a mist of distorting
misapprehensions.
_lt is not in the smallest degree
to our thinking an idle dream, this notion of
appealing to the common sense of the public by this
sheer argument= ad ignorantiant. We look
hopefully to its realisation. And at any rate it has
now the augury of a very auspicious commencement.
For a more appropriate play than " Anne Blake"
could hardly have been selected for the beginning.
Our meaning, in so speaking, will be understood
upon the instant by those who bear the drama in
their remembrance, as it was originally acted five
or six seasons back at the Princess's,—when Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Kean won the tears and plaudits
of London by their exquisite impersonations of
Anne and Thorold—when Walter Lacy (as only
Walter Lacy could be) was the gay vivacious
Llaniston—when our sympathies were extorted by
Mrs. Daly's Lloyd, and our ridicule by Mrs. Win-
stanley's Lady Poppington, our scorn by Mr. Ad-
dison's Sir Joshua, and our laughter by Mr. Ches-
ter's lillott. Among those half-dozen motley per-
sonages the interest, the animation, the humorit
the pathos, the passion, the whimsicality :I,c he,
piece were distributed. Upon the her0...11-a

„Ai' was so
felt on Saturday evening wher,-.7" read to his
scrupulous and exacting auctier u.c4,3, Mr. Marston,
with a voice alternately at Jr'
own perfect will and
( pleasure—now brusque
1 ci vulgar like that of the
upstart parvenu, now venial and honeyed like that
of the warm-heart; housekeeper, now pert with
the liertnasw7 ' c-7;2 the coxcombical butler, now
sprightly, 11('. lackadaisical, tremulously tearful,
or earrP-' mpassionei. The first applause
wag , his delivery of those rallying words
......,e. by Thorold to Llaniston :
" Women who are but pursued
For the pleasure of the phase--axe, like its victims,
Cast off when captured, and the huntsman lover
'Tarns to new game. A wife, my friend, should be
A sweet bird won to one's breast by cherishing :
Not a wild quarry to be hawked down."
There was a thrill of sympathetic feeling, more-
over, in the utterance of the panegyric on—
" The men who think !
' Whose weapon is the pen, whose realm the mind.
I mean not laurelled bards ; but daily workers,
Who, like the electric force, unseen pervade
The sphere they quicken : nameless till they die,
And leaving no memorial but a world
Made better by their lives."
It was however, in the reading of the two
concluding acts of Anne Blake that the au-
thor of Anne Blake achieved his success on
Saturday night as an Elocutionist. It was
a success, moreover, distinct . and unmistake-
able. The entertainthent took place at the Beet-
hoven Rooms, near Cavendish-square, the probable
scene of its public repetition at a date of which we
may now anticipate an early announcement.

Agatha's Husband. Chapman and Hall,
Piccadilly.

The reprint of really good novels, at a cheap rate,
is a great boon to the public ; and works issued.
by Messrs. Chapman are among the best modern
productions of this class.
Those who are acquainted with "The Head of
the Family," " The Ogilvies," and " John Halifax,
Gentleman," already produced at mere nominal
prices, will cordially welcome "Agatha's Husband,"
by the same talented author, forming another
volume of the "Select Library of Fiction." The
characters and construction of this story are natu-
rally drawn and healthily exciting. We have
pe-
rused it for the second time with unabated interest,
and, while holding ourselves indebted to Miss
Muloch as the writer of numerous superior novels,
we must compliment Messrs. Chapman and Hall
on their judgment and taste in repudiating the dan-
gerous laxity and unwholesome trash too often met
with in " cheap publications."

Bigg on Deformities.
A very remarkable work has appeared lately on
the cure of deformities, which appears likely to be
of the most signal service to suffering humanity.
It is most cleverly written and illustrated by Mr.
Henry Heather B gg, anatomical mechanist to her
Majesty the Queen, and although the subject t eems
only suited to engage the attention of the medical
professor, there is so much intellectual matter con-
densed in a small compass, and the work so new,
interesting, and original, that it may be read by all
with pleasure, particularly the fair sex, as amongst
other themes it treats on the cure of bunions, that
painful and terrible enemy to a pretty foot : in
fact, if the knowledge it contains be appreciated in
the way it deserves, and acted upon accordingly,
Mr. Bigg may congratulate himself on having con-
ferred an everlasting benefit on mankind, as the
congenital deformity of the infant can now be safely
cured without detriment to its health. Her Ma-
jesty seems firmly convinced of the excellence of
Mr. Bigg's mechanical powers, as she benevolently
caused him to supply to some of the sufferers
at the Crimea a substitute for those limbs
which they had lost in the defence of their
country. Contrivances which have enabled
them to lift weights, write, and even wield the
sword, so that many a handless hero may now re-
turn if necessary to the army. This is merely the
first part of the author's very scientific work, and
includes only the lower limbs. The next publica-
tion will treat of the upper part of the body, and
the cure of curvature of the spine, for which Mr.
Bigg is well known, as he has effected many won-
, dertul cures.

THE DUKE OF CAMBKIDGE AND Silt
COLIN CAMPBELL.

The Duke of Cambridge, in proposing the toast
of " The Army and Navy," at the tenth anniversary
festival of the City of London Hospital, held yes-
terday at the London Tavern, said that not having
recently had any public opportunity of addressing
any large number of his fellow-countrymen, he
wished to avail himself of the present occasion to
allude to some events of great importance which
had lately taken place—he referred to those stu-
pendous operations in the East—in which his most
intimate and gallant friend Sir Colin Campbell bad
proved himself worthy of the illustrious name which
he had previously earned in many a hard-fought
campaign. He had read with the greatest astonish-
ment and concern statements to the effect that he
(the Duke of Cambridge) was not ready and
willing to assist that gallant officer in anything
that he might please to propose. (Hear, hear.)
Now, if there was one man in the British army
for whom he entertained the warmest andsincerest
friendship, attachment, and respect, that man was
his gallant friend Sir Colin Campbell. (Cheers.)
All he could say was, that never a post went from
th s country to India or came to it from India that
did not convey a letter from himself or from Sir
Colin Campbell which any gentleman in that room
might not write on any subject to another. That
was the mode iu which he considered officers ought
to be treated by their Commander-in-Chief. That
was the manner in which he had treated Sir Colin
CamplaPll. and in which he would treat everyofacer
who f' the respect of the Government and
the 'Hear.) It was a subject of astonish-
'at there could be any suspicion or
, that anything but feelings of the -
AAatest cordiality and attachment existed between
%e Colin Campbell and himself. (Cheers.) After
. 'se observations he need
_scarcely say that he

placed the most implicit confidence in
energy, and discretion of the Commander-in-Chief
in India, and that he would carry out safely and
satisfactorily the great military operations in which
he was now engaged.

TEXAS AND ITS FUTURE.

THE LATE MISCONCEPTION.

There is no state in the New World likely to
occupy a greater or prouder position than that of
Texas. The beauty of its climate, vast richness of
its soil, and the great streams by which it is inter-
sected, as a cotton growing settlement will one day
leave it without a rival. But the feature which is
likely to create the greatest moral, social, and
political revolution in this infant state is the
Galveston, Houston, and Henderson Railway,
on account of the traffic resources of the line,
as well as the immense grants of land which, in a
spirit of wisdom and liberality, the Government
of Texas have bestowed upon the company.
This grant is at the rate of 10,249 acres of land
for every mile of railway completed—the land to
be selected by the company. The obligations are
issued in a form which has rendered them accept-
able on the principal Continental markets, and a
portion are now offered for subscription in Eng-
land. Each obligation is of the value of 201., "To
bearer." Interest at the rate of 8 per cent. per
annum is payable half-yearly, on Ist January and
lst July, on presentation of the coupons at the
company's bankers in London, Paris, Frankfort, or
Hamburg. The obligations will be paid off with
premium of 21. each, by annual drawings spread
over a period of nine years. The first drawing is
to take place on Ist March, 1860. Subscribers to..
the obligations receive one free share of the nominal
value of 8/. with each obligation. The ultimate
real value of these shares will depend on the
amount realised by the sales of surplus land after
full repayment of the obligations.
The rapid advance which the state of Texas is
making in wealth and prosperity is well known;
but the prospects of the Galveston Railroad will be
best understood from a perusual of the able report
presented by Mr. Vasbenter to his employers, the
European Committee of Management. It appears
from Mr. Vasbenter's statement that the that
section of twenty-five miles is opened, and that the
company have entered into possession of 256,000
acres of land on the banks of the Red River, in
the best watered and most fertile plat of Texas.
A. further section of 15 miles will be opened for
traffic in the month of May next. This will form a
jaunoactbiroinngwtihthe
linethe B
into toffathe avnidoinCitoleryoafdotheßa
Houston and of the Houston and CentratloilwTroenaxd.asif
Railroad. Nearly 100 miles of existing railway
traffic will at once be brought upon the Galveston
line, which is ti e outlet to the port of Galveston of
the whole traffic of the interior. The communica-
tion between Galveston and Houston is kept up by
tin river San Jacinto, which is not navigable at all
times, and yet the steampacket companies between
these two
towns realise profits of from 4.0 to 60 pet
cent: per annum. The distance by river is 85'
miles, by the railroad it will be 50 miles. In 1856
Galveston exported 90,000 bales of cotton ; and,
according to the Customs registers, the total amount
of exports rose to $4,949,222, the imports amount
to about $15,000,000.
Tho principal production of cotton occurs in the
country to be traversed by the Galveston Railroad.
Towns are built at every ten miles, some of which
contain several thousand inhabitants, coal, iron,
and timber being abundant. The great Pacific
Railway, which is intended to unite New York
with San Francisco, will intersect the Galverston
line. Within the last ten years the population of
Texas, according to the report of the Comptroller-
General, has increased 400 per sent. ; according to
the same authority, the annual average increase of
the value of land is 21 per cent. The soil of Pima.,
is the most fertile, and its climate the most Bala'
brious of all the States of the Union. The cot
of Texas is the most esteemed, and the land yd
from one and a half to two bales of cotton per acre.

(Opinions of Else French, Press)
The diplomatic correspondence exchanged on
the subject of Count Walewski's despatch by the
English and French Governments is reproduced by
the French journals, and pronounced by them
highly sati-factory. The Pays and the Courrier
de Paris, however' alone publish leading articles on
the subject. The Pays says 1—
" Lord Malmesbury was aware of the real
meaning of Count Walev. ski's despatch of the 20th
January ; and if he desired an explanation, it was
only in order to fulfil the conditions which placed
the new Cabinet in power. This species of com-
promise between the necessities of policy and the
conseience of statesmen is really understood in Eng-
land ; but in France it has ever been severely
judged, and these compromises from the principal
motive of the disrepute into which parliamentary
aovernment.has fallen in Vrance. We cannot be
suspected of being the adversaries of the alliance,
which we consider one of the greatest political
facts of the nineteenth century. But the great at-
tachment we profess for it will not lead us to con-
ceal our thoughts, and we are greatly mistaken if
the impression produced on us by the despatch of
Lord Malmesbury has not been shared by the
public. On the other hand, we do not hesitate to
affirm that the reply of Count Walewski is precisely
that which becomes the minister who has the honour
to speak abroad in the name of the Emperor
of the French. It is clear and noble ; it explEverains
. y-
everything and retracts nothing. . .
thing has now been satisfactorily arranged. The
leaders of the English Cabinet have declared to
Parliament that all cause of misunderstanding be-
tween France and England had been removed ; this
declaration offered them no great difficulty, since
they never entertained a doubt of the excellent in-
tentions of the French Government. Parliament
received this intelligence with cheers, which were,
we believe, sincere ; for public opinion had not
concealed from itself that an internation question
has been imprudently complicated by party tricks.
We likewise rejoice heartily at thiVriendly result ;
and our satisfaction is the more lively since the
alliance is preserved on the condition mentioned
by the Emperor : that the honour of one of the
two nations should never be sacrificed to the honour
of the other. The reply of Count Walewski is the
faithful expression of this idea; it represents the
language of honour itself, and will find an echo in
the heart of all Freshmen."

The following is from the Courrier de Paris :
"'rile crisis, which at one moment menace I the
Anglo French alliance is compktely at an end.
The despatches placed before the House of Com-
mons contain explanations which will suffuse to
remove all causes of misconception, and to calm the
passions on both sides of the Channel. We may
observe how superior France has shown herself to
England on this occasion, both by her good souse
and moderation. Tnis moderation has been so
eminent that we may one day place it amongst the
greatest recollections of our annals. It possessesall the qualities which constitute the beautiful and
the great. Whatever may be our future relations
with England, let them be fiiendly or hostile, we
shall derive from this recollection a strength for
our arms or for our diplomacy,"
