say nothing of the monstrous absurdity of the
charge itself, ii hich is not the question, the conduct
of an Under-Secretary in gratuitously flinging dirt
at the American Republic in this coarse anc unpro-
voked manner is, to say the least, inexcusable as a
piece of bad taste, and a flagrant breach of that
demeanour towards foreign States which the
humblest official should observe." We presume that
no notice will be taken of the circumstances by the
United States, and that Mr. Adderley will be treated
with the contempt which he deserves ; but the his-
tory of diplomacy shows many instances in which
formal explanations and apologies have been de-
manded from Governments upon provocations
much more slight than that recorded in the present
instance.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

Congress, by an overwhelming vote of both
branches, has declared universal manhood suffrage
in the district of Colunibia. This will rank among
the most important events of an eventful age. It is
the inauguration of a policy in which there can be no
retrogression. The abolition of slavery in the dis-
trict was the first step toward universal emancipa-
tion. The concession of negro suffrage there
is the first step to its concession everywhere. Our
people will not long contest a measure that is sure to
be carried in the end. Knowing a certain result to
be inevitable, they are glad to dispense with inter-
mediate -turmoil by accepting it on the spot. We
have no fear of what the Old World calls the shock
of sudden changes. Our institutions admit of such
changes, and our elasticity is equal to their strain.
The logical result of emancipation is Negro Suffrage.
We cannot call on men to fight for us, and pay
taxes and discharge all the onerous duties of citizen-
ship, without conceding to them the rights of citizens.
Equality, civil and political, is an absolute require-
ment of Republicanism, and any Government that
does not concede it, denies the Radical principle on
which a true Republic must be founded, and with-
out which it can only exist in name. The action of
Congress in the concession it has made is Radical,
and important as indicating that the sentiment of
the nation is against any partial or half-way mea-
sures in respect of the suffrage. All attempts to
make the suffrage depend on qualifications, such as
ability to read and write, the possession of pro-
perty, &c., signally failed, as did the attempt to
mix up the question with another and very
different proposition—that of conferring the
suffrage on women. Congress saw clearly enough
that there was no reason why the alleged in-
ferior man, or one born black, should be sub-
jected to discriminating tests or required to
possess qualifications not demanded of the white
man, his alleged superior. The absurdity of the
proposition that the assumed superior man could be
ignorant and poor and yet vote, while the negro
must be educated and rich in order to do the same
thing, was too obvious to be overlooked, and Con-
gress did wisely in driving at once to a logical and
final conclusion. It is not necessary to discuss the
question at this day, whether the right to vote in a
system of government professing to be from the people
and for the people, is an inherent right in the indi-
vidual, or a privilege conferred by society, for
whence does society obtain its own privilege in this
respect, to say nothing of its right to concede or
abridge it in others ? It is enough for us to know
that the whole theory and spirit of our Government
require us to admit every man to a voice in its ad-
ministration. We have the right to limit this privi-
lege in the case of foreigners coming to this country
until it shall be shown conclusively that they intend
to become or have become bona
.fide citizens. Other-
wise we might find our institutions endangered and
our laws perverted by the subjects of a foreign
state, and in the interest of hostile Governments.
These broad principles would never have been
denied had it not been for slavery, and the opposi-
tion to negro suffrage is mainly a prejudice born of
that extinct system. It may survive for a while,
but;-the trunk once cut down, the branches must
soon wither. We admit ignorant foreigners and
paupers, too, to the suffrage on very slight evi-
dences of their purpose to become citizens. The
foreigner comes here with inbred prejudices, often
extravagant ideas, and almost always with real or
fancied wrongs to revenge, and in most cases in full
devotion to a religion which requires an allegiance,
if need be, beyond that due to the State. He brings
here his old political grievances, and seeks to drag
us into quarrels which are not ours, and in which
we have no real interests. Now the negro is an
American. HiS religion is in harmony with that
of the country at large. His modes of thought and
his sympathies are ours. He does not care what
party rules in Dahomey. He does not agitate
against the King of Abyssinia on our soil, or
seek to organise expeditions here to deprive
him of his provinces. The great Gre-gre man on
the Gold Coast may blow the direst excommunicatory
blast possible on his ecclesiastical ox-horn without
disturbing the equanimity of Sambo, and might
send out here in vain for a loan of cowries to re-
plenish his exchequer and keep up his state. The
negro is national and patriotic. He has no feel-
ings, interests, or aspirations outside of the United
States. The flag he loves and will defend is neither
green nor yellow, but striped with bars and lit with
stars. His vote, if given at all, will be cast in the
interests—as he may understand them —of his
country. To see that he is educated to understand
them, and that his unquestioned patriotism shall
be instructed and rightly directed, will be a task
for those who owe him some return for two centu-
ries of unrequited service, and who have debarred
him from maturing or enlarging his intelligence.
Let those who have made him what he now is, give
to their Frankenstein a soul !—Frank Leslie's Illus-
trated Newspaper.

continued very severe. liisfifallkikl*ti - ter,
there was a high wind . e sea
was very heavy outside the era rtland,
and has caused much dams, -gain to the I'ortland
Railway, the traffic having been stopped since 8
a.m. yesterday, a large portion of the line having
been washed away during the early part of the
morning, and several telegraph posts along the
line are nearly blown down, with every proba-
bility of the wires parting should the wind keep
as high as it is at present. The Isabella schooner,
which was wrecked at Weymouth on Saturday
night, is firmly imbedded in the sand. fitr back is
broken, and she is full of water. Attempts arc
being made during low water to board and strip
her. The cargo will probably be saved shoal] the
wing veer round.
At Falmouth it blew a heavy gale from the east-
ward on Sunday- awl Sunday night. Dur&ng the
storm the Spanish brig -Allot!' Angel, from llavan-
nah for London, with sugar and cocoa, which put
back to Eihuouth on the 19,h, dragged her anchors
and came into collision with the Breakwater, and
sank. The crew were saved, and endeavours will
be made to raise the vessel.

At Great Yarmouth yesterday several trawling
smacks arrived and reported a loss of hands duriLig
the late gale. In the storm of Wednesday many of
the smacks were off the coast fishing for soles,,plaice,
&c. A heavy sea boarded the Glance, belonging to
Mr. L. Shuckford, and carried off one of the crew,
who was drowned. A similar disaster occurred to

the Daring, the Swallow, and other smacks. The
smack Racer was run down by a Hanoverian
schooner, but the crew were fortunately saved by
the smack Pet, of Yarmouth. The fall of snow on
the flat and exposed coast of Norfolk has been enor-
mous. The traffic in the parishes of Flegg Hun-
dreds, immediately surrounding Yarmouth, has been
in a great degree suspended, and the numbers of

labourers have been engaged in clearing the main
roAds. In some places the snow is from 10ft. to
12ft. deep. The dyke.•, lakes, and broads in the
vicinity are frozen over, and afford but poor cover
for the flocks of wild fowl which seek refuge at this
period of the year in these famous Norfolk retreats.
_ _

The signs of a thaw in the north riding of York-
shire indicated on Saturday night were but brief,
and north-east gales with snow and hail have con-
tinued since, being particularly severe near the coast
on Sunday. The demand for coals is greater than
has been known for a very long time, and on Sun-
day " colliers" were run throughout the day answer-
ing the double purpose of pilot engines and coal sup-
ply trains. On Monday morning the first trains all
got through,:and all theNorth:and East Riding lines
are fully open for traffic, with the exception of the
Hull and Scarborough, of which one line is yet
blocked in places. There is every indication of a
continuance of storm, and the distress thereby occa-
sioned in the agricultural districts is great, there
being no occupation for the labourers. The borough
bailiff of Malton convened a meeting of the inhabi-
tants yesterday morning, at which a public subscrip-
tion was resolved upon to supply the pressing wants
of the poor, and provide temporary employment for
the labouring population. The weather is milder,
but the streets of Malton are banked with snow from
three to four feet deep. A great flood is anticipated
when the thaw comes.

ABERDEEN, Monday Night.

During the last 48 hours a great deal of snow has
fallen, and railway communication is again inter-
rupted. The north mail was six hours late this
afternoon, and the Deeside, Banff, and Peterhead
lines are all blocked up. Two London mails were
despatched, but as the snow continues to fall thickly
to-night it is feared the south line maybe impassable
to-morrow. The storm is interfering with business,
and the number of the unemployed is very great.

Charles Dickens in London and Liverpool,

The Athens um remarks as follows on Mr.
Dickens's late readings at St. James's Hall :—" For
the moment we can but state briefly, but as strongly
as language admits, the admirable success of Mr.
Dickens in the resumption of his Readings, the first
of which took place in the presence of a crowded
audience at St. James's Hall, on Tuesday night.
Barbox Brothers' is less varied and 'sensational,'
perhaps, than any other of the stories by which this
best of readers has won his reputation ; but delicacy
in marking character, finish in setting every detail
before a large public, play of a musical and many-
toned voice, seconded by play of feature, excellently
clear of any approach to that grimace which be-
comes disgusting,—could not be carried further, nor
was ever the self-respect of a thorough artist in his
prime, contented only insomuch as he can give the
best of his best, more clearly manifest. As to the
' Boy at Mugby' (not forgetting Mr. Sniff and his
corkscrew), an outburst of the broadest farce ever
directed against a social evil,' it is impossible to
exceed the fun and absurdity of a scene which we
have all witnessed, suffered from, and laughed at."
The Liverpool Mercury, of Friday, thus comments
upon the renewal of those readings in that town :
Last evening, Mr. Charles Dickens gave the first
of a series of three readings in the small concert-
room at St. George's Hall. There is no need to
speak of Mr. Dickens's abilities as a reader. He
long ago won his spurs in that capacity, and it is
only his reputation as a novelist which makes us
forget Dickens the reader in Dickens the author.
As in his writings he describesplacesand individuals
with a microscopical minuteness of observation, so
in his readings he brings before the audience, with
equal vividness, the characteristic traits of the
personages introduced. Mr. Dickens evidently
has a natural talent for dramatic representation,
and this he has spared no time to cul-
tivate. An author of unparalleled popularity,
many
yDleiscskeer pns
emightdo,h a lvvei t contentedh getting
hisa
'readings' as
as easily as might be. But he is
evidently one
one of those who think that a thing, if it
be done at all, should be well done. He does not
shirk even the lAbour of committing a two hours'
reading to memory —a memory which never blun-
ders, and which is so good that it scarcely seems to
need even an occasional reference to the book. Last
night he read two of his contributions to the last
Christmas number of All the Year 14ound

" Barbox Brothers," and the " Boy at Mugby." If
Mr. Dickens desired to increase the popular appre-
ciation of his writings, he could not do so more
effectually in becoming their vocal interpreter. As
a great actor will strike out new and previously
hidden points in a character, so Mr. Dickens in-
vests his stories with a profounder interest and a
deeper meaning than the majority of readers would
discover in them. There was probably no one of
last night's audience who had not read " Barbox

have done, as they listened to Mr. Dickens, the
beautiful pathos which belonged to the story of
Lamps" and his invalid daughter. Mr. Dickens
was remarkably effective in his recital of " Lamps's"
conversation with the stranger at the station, rela-
tive to the peculiarities of parliamentary and "skir-
mishum" trains, and imitated the polishing process
which the kind-hearted fellow constantly carried on,
with a comicality which was fatal to the gravity of
the audience; but even more effective was the deli-
very of the passage wherein the daughter tells of
her father's affectionate thoughtfulness for her. The
meeting of Barbox with little Polly, and the subse-
quent incidents also afforded Mr. Dickens oppor-
tunity for the display of the dramatic ability which
he possesses in such large measure. " The Boy at
Mugby" was pure andj simple fun—not without a
