THE UNITED STATES AND GREAT BRITAIN
The London Times expresses itself generally sat-
isied with the sentiments of Lord Napier at the
dinner of the st. Georges Society When speak
ing of the relations between the United States and
Great Britain, he said, I'VE have in the expert
of the past the st grounds for believing that
there can never be a question so difficult or com
plicated that 1t may not meet with a prompt,
peaceful and honorable solution" The Times says
this sentiment represents the feelings of the British
Government, and that the British Minister also re-
presents the feelings Of bis countrymen when he
de clared that no class of Epglishmen looked with
jealousy on the expansion of the Union and the in
crease ofits inhabitants If such feelings ever ex-
listed common sense has taught the English.
man their absurdty. and the feeling is now rather
one of pride TO see his own language, laws history
and institutions made the heritage of new world
growing up to such high deslipies. 1t adds:
I'VE may trust. then, that with more complete
apprecia ion of each other parts io the world
former animo'ites will die away, aud that while
eok with satisfaction The lest mate extension cf
the Republics power in the New World, the Amer
leans will with equal good i'll the developm
and ipcreasng greatness OF the British empire -
There il certainly room enough for both when each
has hemaphere Long may it BE-, then before the
ton Iauy were to ask why it 10 that of late days
there has sprung up In this country so favorable .
feeling towards the United States, we should be IN
cned to answer that OF the chief reasons 10 the
utter failure of liberal institutions and what may
call English ideas on ths continent of Europe. In
despair oisgusE we have turned from the contem-
plation Of thos. countries where political ussgss
hsve been copied only to be made ludcrous revolt
ing The events ofthe laet ten years have taught
little comparatively th'se nations have In COM
mon with Nv. an have drawn closer the bonds which
unite to kindred people without whom we should
be alone in the world"
A REMARKABLE CAsE-On the first of April
lasta Mr. Ellis, of Henrietta N Y, man seventy
years of age, attempted to commit suicide by cut
ting his throat but his object was frustrated, and
bis case has since attracted much attention from
thirty days he could take no food whatever -
During the whole time he had Unsuitable thirst,
and more than two psils of water were used every
day, very little finding its way into the stomach.
Nearly the whole quantity passed out through
the wound which is described by the Rochester
Uni,n as fol ows:
.The root of the tongue is divided from the
hyoid bone Windpipe unipjured The opening
into the pharynx or top of the gullet has been
very large, allowing the windpipe to fall about
three inches 1t Is now. however, closing. and a
tube has been inserted for the purpose of intro
ducing food" rge
For the last twenty FIVE days the attendants
have succeeded in getting very little nourish>
ment down-soup, &c. Nature is making . asfrong
effort to heal the wound, and were it not for the
advanced age of the patient strong hopes might
be entertained of his recovery.
