CAPTAIN BEDFORD PIM.

(From the United Ssrvice Gazette of _4pril 25, 1868.)
An act of justice has at last been done by the
Admiralty in the promotion of Commander Bed-
ford Pim to the rank of Captain. An enumeration
of the services of this distinguished officer would
serve to show how hardly advancement in the Royal
Navy is earned when unaccompanied by private in-
fluence.

Before attaining the rank of Lieutenant, Captain
Pim served in all quarters of the globe, but this his
first step came by seniority, and, moreover, he passed
the best examination of his day at college. He
volunteered and was employed in three Arctic ex-
peditions, and was the connecting link of the North-
West Passage, saving from starvation and death the
officers and crew of H.M.S. Investigator when hope-
lessly beset in the ice. He afterwards served with
distinction in the Russian and last Chinese wars,
and was wounded on three occasions, twice severely,
once receiving six bullet wounds.
Captain Pim is favourably
known as an author
and writer of considerable ability. He has devoted
much time, energy, and money during the last six
years to his great project of opening a transit
through Nicaragua, and which is
now in a fair way
of being carried out ; in addition to this, Captain
Pim has taken quite a lead in the development of
the commercial resources of Central America, and
to his business ability and organisation we are in-
debted for the successful introduction of more thin
one undertaking in that part of the world.
Capt. Pim has made two efforts to obtain a seat
in Parliament; his last attempt at Totnes deserved
success, if only for the gallantry displayed in at-
tacking the pocket borough of the then First Lord
of the Admiralty. We heartily w'sh Captain Pim
may succeed in the object of his ambition the next

time he enters the list; ; for men of his calibre and
thorough business knowledge are sadly wanted in
the House of Commons. At present there are
nearly seventy members of Parliament more or less
closely connected with the army, but not seven who
know anything of seafaring matters, a state of
affairs in the councils of this great maritime nation
which every well-wisher of his country must desire
to so remedied.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, SUNDAY, May 3.

- -
I The optimists are in the ascendant to-day. In the first
place the Japan difficulty has been got over. Some weeks
ago eleven of the crew of a French ship were murdered at
Kobi,and it was feared that we were in danger of a Japanese
war. But the Mikado has proved more reasonable than
the Tycoon proved to your remonstrances on the murder of
Mr. Richardson. Twenty Japanese have been beheaded,
and £22,500 have been paid in compensation. So that
little " black spot " has been dissipated. Another
affair, which a few hours ago threatened to give
us trouble, now seems certain to be arranged.
Our Consul at Tunis had drawn up an agreement by which
the Bey agreed to preserve the rights of his foreign credi-
tors (chiefly French), but at the last moment his High-
ness refused to sign the document. Thereupon our Consul
hauled down his flag, and refused to hold any diplomatic
relations with the Tunisian Government. The France, in
mentioning this circumstance, kindly insinuated that
English intermeddling was at the bottom of the affair. It
now appears that, so far from this being the case, England
and Italy have a perfect understanding with France, and
%re agreed upon the terms which they mean to exact from
the semi-barbarous African sovereign. It is pretty cer-
tain, therefore, that we shall not hear much more of this
matter.

As to more important matters, they too are couleur de
rose this evening. If we are to believe the reports current
to-day, Bismarck has voluntarily informed our ambassador
9.t Berlin, M. Benedetti, that the Prussian Government
will not allow the Customs Parliament to sanction any
measure opposed to the Treaty of Prague. This declara-
tion is offered, no doubt, in consequence of the attempt
which is being made by the representatives from
Baden to get up an address in favour of the unifica-
tion of Germany. I presume that our Government will
be wise enough to rest contented with this assurance, and
not have the imprudence to offer any objection to the pro-
posal now before the Parliament for-granting to Germans
the right of domicile in any part of Germany. This is a
purely domestic matter, thcugh, of. course, it will tend to
bring about eventually that unification which France by
lo means relishes.

It is believed that the Emperor will make several visits
within the next few weeks. After Ms journey to Orleans,
lie will, it is hoped, go to the agricultural show at
Rouen ; then to the International Maritime Exhibition at
llavre ; and the Boulognese have asked him to open a new
lock. He will thus have abundant opportunity for making
pacific speeches, if the spirit moves him to do so. M.
Baudrillart has an article upon the expected speech at
Orleans. The new editor of the Constitutionnel says that
lie does not know if the expectation is well founded ; but
he believes in peace, not merely because he wishes
:t, but because the Emperor is peacefully inclined.
He admits that armed peace is a necessity
which France may accept for patriotic reasons
without loving it as a thing good in itself, "but it renders
Inpossible all serious economy." Some persons say that
short and successful war would be better than an armed
peace. "No doubt it would," says M. Baudrillart ; but
while patriotism forbids us to doubt that it would be sue-
lessful (and in reality all Europe believes this), would it be
short? Must we not expect checks, such as even Louis
XIV. and the First Napoleon sustained? M. Baudril-
'art goes on to express his surprise at those who
attribute warlike intentions to the sovereign who
made peace in the Crimea and at Villafranca,
.n each case against the wishes of his ally,
He then goes on to shew how many times war has been_
predicted, and how often those predictions have failed.
`The army is ready, but where is the war? If there is
cot sufficient security in Europe to arrive at a common and
lesirable understanding for an immediate disarmament,
',here are no longer causes of war which should justify
apprehensions and leave the public in a state
A anxious disquietude." M. Baudrillart goes
Mn to ask : " Who wants war ? Certainly not
England, with Fenianism to deal with ; certainly not
Russia, with its costly expenditure on public works, and
bleeding Poland that would arouse to a terrible awakening
the day that a European war broke out ; certainly not
Austria, intent upon healing the wounds sustained two
rears ago ; certainly not Italy, with her financial diffi-
culties." The article then goes on to chaff the young
ardent spirits who are always for sounding the
trumpet even in full peace. They may safely be left
to talk of war over the beer-tables of Alsace. It would be
a more serious matter if the officers desired war with that
passionate avidity which has been attributed to them.
But they do not desire it. If war broke out they would
fight with spirit ; but they are men of their time, are
patriots breathing the air of a more humane civilisation
than was inspired by out' veterans. The elite of the army
Is in unison with, civilian France. It has the same spirit,
and beat with the same heart. The alarmists may, there-
!ore, calm themselves. If the Emperor speaks at Orleans, he
will, though under the shadow of the warrior heroine of
Prance, speak with quite another spirit than prevailed
then. The Emperor is the representative of the modern
spirit. If he is the heir of the heroism of France, he also
personifies its reason ; his language will know how to ally
tem. Such is the substance of this remarkable and very
able article, which occupies three columns in the Constilu-
tionnel. It is a highly favourable symptom of peace.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post, writing
31a Saturday at 6 a.m., was very gloomy. What perma-
nent hope of peace could there be with an army of
1,200,060 men in France, one of 1,428,000 in Prussia, one
of 1,466,000 in Russia, and Austria preparing to establish
one of 1,000,000 ? " Every Government on the Con-
tinent (almost without exception) wants money, all
are increasing their taxation, nearly all asking for
loans ; commerce languishing ; food dear, and in
some quarters of the world populations have this
year suffered from almost starvation. This is no
exaggerated picture of what has followed the great Univer-
sal Exhibition at Paris, which was to do so much for man-
kind. Such a peace as the world now enjoys is surely as
bad as war. Public opinion is speaking out more loudly
every day, and finance is telling most Governments that
their warlike expenditure mnst be limited. These are the
nly favourable symptoms which come with the month
of May." But a paragraph dated an hour later
is of a wholly different tone. The corresponded
says "I have received to-day a communication from
Berlin of considerable importance, and which, I think,
may be depended upon. The French Government has
for some time past shewn considerable anxiety as to the
political results which might grow out of the de-
liberations of the Customs Parliament- with reference
to the possibility of that assembly voting further an-
nexations to the Prussian Crown. lam now informed
that Count Bismarck has assured the French Ambassador-
at Berlin that the Customs Parliament will not be allowed
to entertain any suggestions which might offend the
Treaty of Prague. Under such circumstances the last
apparent and immediate danger of a rupture between
France and Prussia is removed." If this be true, the
present mock disarmament of one per cent. will, of course,
be succeeded by a genuine one of not less than ten per
cent. Our wishes are stronger than our expectations.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, whose
mot crordre is always " peace," says that while still believ-
ing in peace, he is bound to say that "money is being
spent at Cherbourg and elsewhere with a perfectly
reckless disregard of the estimates." He presumes that
the peccant Ministers will be brought to book during the
discussion on the estimates. " In the meantime the expen-
diture and the haste to complete the naval works in every
branch are great facts—great facts, certainly ; but still I
believe only efforts to act on the maxim—' If you wish
for peace, arm '—which the Imperial Government has
owned to be its aim. I confess the question is bristling
with contradictions and difficulties. A very well-informed
man, who is compelled to study the subject, tells me that
France must fight. She has spent so much money on
sailors and soldiers that one fine day the people will say
•Eh bien, let us pay on, but do give us something for our
money.' "

It is rumoured that the Austrian Government has
made proposals on behalf of a disarmament, and it is sup-
posed that the recent granting of furloughs, "more
apparent than real," by the Prussian War Minister, may
have been partly due to Baron von Beust's representations.
The Provincial Correspondence, a Prussian journal, denies
this, but says that the recent reduction (,f the army (by
12,000 men) is a proof of the pacific intentions of the
Government, and that there is no serious question at issue
between the Governments of Europe.

The Prince of Prussia continues to be the object of the
most enthusiastic reception. At Parma, Bologna, and
Florence the acclamations with which he was received at
Turin have been repeated. To Prince Napoleon the frenzy,
as it seems to him, is insupportable, and he refuses to go
on to Florence, and expose himself to the humiliating con-
trast between the reception given to him and that given
to his rival. A correspondent mentions that the French
residents at Florence are completely scandalised by this
anti-French manifestation, and that one of them remarked
to some Italians who were cheering the hero of the day,
" You want foresight." The Italians answered, " That
may be, but we do not want memory. We remember
that your troops are still in Rome."

The Etendard says that the Powers are at this moment
negotiating with the Sultan for the return to their own
country of the Cretan refugees who are now in Greece,
and in a state of great poverty and distress. The
Etendarcl declares that this is the only question upon
_
which negotiations have passed,

MR. CLURLES DICKENS'S FAREWELL

TO AMERICA.

A correspondent of the Times, dated Philadelphia,
April 21, says :—Mr. Charles Dickens sails for Eng-
land in the Russia, which carries this letter, and
leaves behind him the regrets of a host of friends at
his early departure. his American readings have
been a success of the most decided character. The
public interest in them has never abated, and
his closing reading in New York last evening
was given to as overflowing and appreciative
an audience as that which listened to the first
one iu Boston six months ago. The American
people know Mr. Dickens better, and he knows
them better, than ever before, and it is evi-
dent that on both sides the admiration has been
vastly increased during his half-year's sojourn in
this country. Mr. Dicken:6's friends who are con-
nected with the American Preis bade hie,► farewell
at a banquet at Delmonico's, in New York, on
April 18, the gathering being said to he the
largest and most influential assetnblag,, of newspaper
men ever seen in America. Two hundred gentle-
men, from all parts of the country, sat down at table,
and, Horace Greeley presiding, addresses were made
by Henry J. Raymond, George IV. Curtis, William
H. Hurlburt, Charles Eliot Norton, and several
others. Mr. Dickens was somewhat indisposed, but
he made on the occasion a characteristic address, so
full of genuine affection for America and her people
that it has silenced all cavillers. Had he made this
speech on his first arrival here it might have been
thought that he desired to propitiate favour, but his
making it on the eve of his departure is taken as a
renewed proof of sincerity. As his farewell to the
United 'States Mr. Dickens said :

" Gentlemen,—l cannot do better than take my
cue from your distinguished pra.sident, and refer in
my first remarks to his remarks in connection with
the old, natural association between you and me.
Inen I received an invitation from a private asso-
ciation of working members of the press of New
York to dine with them to-day, I accepted that
compliment in grateful remembrance of a calling
that was once my own, and in loyal sympathy
towards a brotherhood which, in the spirit, I have
never quitted. (" Good, good," and applause.) To
the wholesome training of severe newspaper work,
when I was a very young man, I constantly refer
my first successes ; and my sons will hereafter tes-
tify of their father that he was always steadily
proud of that ladder by which he rose. (Great
applause.) If it were otherwise, I should have but
a very poor opinion of their father, which, perhaps,
upon the whole, I have not. (Laughter and cheers.)
Hence, gentlemen, under any circumstances, this com-
pany would have been exceptionally interesting and
gratifying to me. But whereas I supposed that,
like the fairies' pavilion in the " Arabian Nights" it
would be but a mere handful, and I find it turn out,
like the same elastic pavilion, capable of compre-
hending a multitude, so much the more proud are
I of the honour of being your guest ; for you will
readily believe that the more widely representative
of the press in America my entertainers are, the
more I must feel the goodwill and the kindly senti-
ments towards me of that vast institution. (Ap-
plause.) Gentlemen, so much of my voice has
lately been beard in the land, and I have for up-
wards of four hard winter months so contended
against what I have been sometimes quite admir-
ingly assured was ' a true American eatarrh'—
(laughter)—a possession which I have throughout
highly appreciated—(renewed laughter)—though
I might have preferred to be naturalised by
any
hottehoer_isay,
outward and visible signs—(shouts of
laug gentlemen, so much of my voice
has lately been heard that I might have been con-
tented with troubling you no further from my pre-
sent standing-point, were it not a duty with which
I henceforth charge myself, not only here, but on
every suitable occasion whatsoever and wheresoever,
to express my high and grateful sense of my second
reception in America, and to bear my honest testi-
mony to the national generosity and magnanimity.
(Great applause.) Also, to declare how astounded
I have been by the amazing changes that I have
seen around me on every side— changes moral,
changes physical, changes in the amount of land
subdued and peopled, changes in the rise of vast
new cities, changes in the growth of older
cities almost out of recognition, changes in the
graces and amenities of life, changes in
press, without whose advancement no advance-
ment can be made anywhere. (Great applause.)
Nor am I, arrogant
believe me, so as to
hseuefa)p ohs:
that in five and twenty years there have
changes in me, and that I had nothing to learn and
no extreme impressions to correct when I was here
first. (A voice, " Noble," and applause.) And,
gentlemen, this brings me to a point on which I
have, ever since I landed here last November, ob-
served a strict silence, though tempted sometimes
to break it, but in reference to which I will, with
your good leave, take you into my confidence now.
(Laughter and applause, and cries of " Silence.")
Even the press, being human—(laughter)--may
be sometimes mistaken or misinformed, and I
rather think that I have in one or two
rare instances known . its information to be not
perfectly accurate with reference to myself.
(Laughter and applause,) Indeed, I have now
and again been more surprised by printed news
that I have read of myself than by any printed
news that I have ever read in my present state
of existence. (Laughter.) Thus, the vigaur and
perseverance with which I have for some months
past been collecting materials for and hammering
away at a new book on America have much asto-
nished me—(renewed laughter)--seeing that all
that time it has been perfectly well known to my
publishers on both sides of the Atlantic that I posi-
tively declared that no consideration on earth
should induce me to write one. But what I have
intended, what I have resolved upon (and this is
the confidence I seek to place in you) is, on my re-
turn to England, in my own person, to bear, for the
behoof of my countrymen, such testimony to the
gigantic changes in this country as I have hinted
at to-night. (Immense applause.) Also, to
record that wherever I have been, in the
smallest places equally with the largest, I
have been received with unsurpassable politeness,
delicacy, sweet temper, hospitality, consideration,
and with unsurpassable respect for the privacy daily
enforced upon me by the nature of my avocation
here and the state of my health. (Applause.) This
testimony, so long as I live, and so long as my de-
scendants have any legal right in my books, I shall
cause to be republished, as an appendix to every
copy of those two books of mine in which 1 have
referred to America. (Tremendous applause.) And
this I will do and cause to be done, not in mere
love and thankfulness, but because I regard it as an
act of plain justice and honour. (Bravo, and
cheers.) Gentlemen, the transition from my own
feelings towards and interest in America to those of
the mass of my countrymen seems to be a natural
one ; but whether or no, I make it with an express
object. I was asked in this very city, about Christ-
mas time, whetheran American was not at some dis-
advantage in England as a foreigner. The notion of
an American being regarded in England as a foreigner
at all, of his ever being thought of or spoken of in
that character,was souucommonly incongruous and
absurd to me that my gravity was, for the moment,
quite overpowers 1. (Laughter.) As soon as it
was restored, I said that for years and years past I
hoped I had had as many American friends and re-
ceived as many American visitors almost any Eng-
lishman living—(applause)—and that my unvary-
ing experience, fortified by theirs, was that it was
enough in England to be an American to be received
with the readiest respect and recognition anywhere.
Hereupon, out of half-a-dozen people, suddenly
spoke out two, one an American gentleman, with
a cultivated taste for art, who, finding himself
on a certain Sunday outside the walls of a
certain historical English castle, famous for its
pictures, was refused admission there, ac-
cording to the strict rules of the establishment
on that day-, but who, on merely representing that
he was an American gentleman, on his travels,
had, not to say the picture ga'lery, but the whole
castle placed at his immediate disposal. • (Laughter.)
The other was a lady, who, being in London, and
having a great desire to see the famous reading-
room of the British Museum, WAS assured key the

English family with whom she stayed that it was
unfortunately impossible, because the place was
closed for a week, and she had only three days
to stay. Upon that lady's going to the Museum, as
she assured me, alone to the gate, self-introduced
as an American lady, the gate flew open, as it
wero, magically. (Laughter and applause.) I
am unwillingly bound to add that she certainly
was young and exceedingly pretty. (Laughter.)
Still, the porter of that institution is of a°
obese habit—(laughter)—and, according to the
best of my observation of him, not very
impressible. (Great laughter and cheering.)
Now, gentlemen, I refer to these trifles as a col-
lateral assurance to you that the Englishman who
shall humbly strive, as I hope to do, to be in Eng-
land as faithful to America as to England herself,
has no previous conceptions to contend against.
(" Good, good !" and cheers.) Points of difference
there have been, points of difference there are,
points of difference there probably always will be
between the two great peoples. But broadcast ia
England is sown the sentiment that those two
peoples are essentially one (great applause) --and
that it rests with them jointly to uphold the great
Anglo-Saxon race, to which our president has re-
ferred, and all its great achievements before the
world. (" Bravo," and applause.) And if I knoW
anything of my countrymen—and they give me
credit for knowing something—if I know ail.-
thing of my countrymen, gentlemen, the English
heart is stirred by the fluttering of those Stars
and Stripes, as it is stirred by no other flag that flies
except its own. (Tremendous applause, and three
cheers.) If I know my countrymen, in any and
every relation towards America, they begin, not as
Sir Anthony Absolute recommended that lovers
should begin, with "a little aversion," but with A
great liking and a profound respect—(applause)and whatever the little sensitiveness of the moment,
or the little official passion, or the little official
policy now, or then, or here, or there, may be, take
nay word for it, that the first enduring, great, po-
pular consideration in England is a generous
construction of justice. (" Bravo," and cheers.)
Finally, gentlemen, and I say this subject to
your correction, I do believe that from the great
majority of honest minds on both sides there
cannot be absent the conviction that it would
be better for this globe to be riven by an earth-
quake, fired by a comet, overrun by an iceberg,
and abandoned to the Arctic fox and bear, than that
it should present the spectacle of these two great
nations, each of which has, in its own way and hour,
striven so hard and so successfully for freedom, ever
again being arrayed the one against the other.
(Tumultuous applause, the company rising to their
feet and greeting the sentiment with enthusiasm.)
Gentlemen, I cannot thank your president enough
or you enough for your kind reception of my health
and of my poor remarks, but, believe me, I do thank
you with the utmost fervour of which my soul is
capable." (Great applause.)
The band then played " God Save the Queen'
the company joining in it with enthusiastic voices._

THE LATE VOLUNTEER REVIEW Ar

PORTSMOUTH.

The official reports on this review are published'
Lieut.-General Sir George Buller, in his report',
describes the amount of force and the character 0,1
the manoauvres of the day. He praises the manner
in which they were done, and says :
" Major-General the Hon. James Lindsay, Ill"
Spector General of the Reserve Forces, was indefa'
tigable in all the arrangements previous to and 00
the day of the review, assisted, too, by his active
and efficient staff officers, and I may add that the
appointment of this officer will be of essential value_
in increasing the general efficiency of the volunteer
corps.
" As a general observation, in conclusion, 151 s/
state, although with some exceptions, that the I°'
struction drill, the practice of the simple deploy'
merits, the oblique and direct echelon movetveutt°'
the observance of strict silence during movelve"
and the cessation of fire when ordered are wantivt
and not sufficiently considered, and without which
no volunteer force would be of much avail, if re-
quired to take its place in the field with regtub3,
troops. The simple rules of skirmishing, too, t
taking advantage of cover, and not remaining t°°
long in it, should be inculcated, for without thi4
knowledge generally no lesson is taught or learnt
by the assembly of large bodies for sham fights. .0
" I beg to bring also under the notice of t_
royal highness the efficient assistance rendered °n
this occasion by the mayor and civil authorities'
and which insured the success of the day."
The Duke of Cambridge and Sir John Pak
ton both expressed complete satisfaction with tm
report.

An attempt has been made, says the Daily Tele;
graph, to excite sectarian animosity by the announcement
that the official invitation forwarded to Cardinal Culie!:
from the Castle, on the occasion of the Prince of W"1,e5.0
visit, was addressed by the Premier's directions to Pie
Excellency the Cardinal Archbishop of Dublin.
sting of the appellation resided in the two little words 495
Dublin." No doubt, if the impotent Ecclesiastical Titlt
Bill had ever been anything but a dead letter, an
Minister could not have described the Cardinal as Arch
bishop of Dublin. But that ill-advised act has long 3g-
fallen into disuse, and is now about to bo formally reii
scinded. Under these circumstances, the Record Weil
would be puzzled how to describe the Primate of the Iris t
Catholic Church in terms which would not be inconsistei'
with the assumption that in these realms the existence
of the Papacy is not officially recognised. Styled by gale
name, a cardinal would be offensive to the "No PePeriit
party ; and even if the prelate had been addressed vrit t,
the curt simplicity of a Quaker's letter, the Protesta„rli
Electoral Union would still have been indignant n°llo
the superscription had been couched in such terms the
render the invitation an insult and not a compliment. sl
real head and front of the offending is that the Car .
sat as an honoured guest at the Prince of Wsles''' rO,O
The recognition thus given was as gracious as
complete. On account of some question of etiqueds
Cardinal Cullen had, down to the occasion of the Prin.- r
visit, never dined at the Castle. The difficulty, wbateiret
it may have have been, has now been successfully
over, and both at the conversazione of the Royal Btioo
Society and at the visit to the Hospital (74 beg
Mater Misericordioa, his eminence wore the red rote
of State belonging to his office. Our chief tly
grot with regard to the courtesies shown fee?
is,
to the dignitaries of the Irish Catholic Cburc";lol
not that they have been shown at all, but that
were not shown long ago. It is a significant 000);:°i0
upon the temper in which we have ruled Ireland, ti of
this present year of grace a mere formal intercheagvito
civilities between the representatives of the Crown ister
the highest authorities of the national Church a the 5
_al-
kingdom should bo deemed matter for discussion or
meat of any kind. Heretofore the honours, emoltnee:oB4
and dignities of ecclesiastical life have been given aby 6
the Channel to the purposes of a creed held only
small minority, and viewed with disfavour by the ;Tice
majority; while the priests of the popular
b o religioulot
ti tithe
on and proscribed, are still compelled to 6 the
on the charity of their flocks, still excluded from
caileirical
prizes offered by the State to those who embrace a g
career. Persons unacquainted with Ireland c5ll Lila
judge to what an extent this social ostracism of the Ljo
lie clergy has been carried. Between the lancil°rd ,otor
the priest there has been, as a rule, none of thatl
change of common courtesies and service which coo
e:tto
so much to the mutually good relations of the
the parsons of England. Of course the differells;try
creed between the land-owning class and the Pe'a's
must always be a bar to the free intercourse wt
i°
English parishes, exists between tlito
and the vicarage. Still there is no reason wily,o
proprietors should not show that common civility °f
Catholic clergy which is demanded by the iniPoltoi fa"
their position and the magnitude of their per „,tieS
fluence ; and if the heir to the English throne; jijio it •
under the advice of a Conservative Government, term
no derogation from his high duties to meet on 011: cavil'
a Catholic archbishop wearing the State dress 01 400
nal of the Church of Rome, landlords of M. t be
