enred TO his lOreship address, In his reply he
aid:-No one can feel more deep or lively interest

trary, they are uniformly founi to increase, and
trust that they msy be preserved from ultimate ex

The London Times of the 10th lltimo observes:--
tbe arrivals from lnoia give Us the cold comfort OF
knowing that We have 40 choice at all about
the Persian eXpediti0n; ard dark as our appre-
tensions may be, deep as our regrets undoubtedly
are, We have At Least NO longer to make up our
mind

This inferi0rty is due to che ileriority of bank
compared with the Bank of England. When We see
the Bank Of France exhausted after war of two
years, imposed npOn by the dealers in precious me
tails taken by surprise and discouraged by crisis
which it vas its duty 20 anticipate and prevent, and
restricting to the most limits its advances on
railway shares II Is impossible not TO recall the first
years OF this century, and admire the attitude of
the Bank Of England during the long period Of the
WAR OF the empire.
In 1884, there appear to have been in Persia
eleven millions OF inhabitants, nine Of whom were
Tadjks, or bona Cde natives and two Of wandering
tribes, consisting OF Turks. Arabs, and Kurds. The
Persian army has at present this great drawback,
that its pay is doled out most irreguary, and that
frequently the equipment and uniforms are allowed
to fall into most wresched condition.
The London Times Of 18th ultimo says:-We are
content 70 extract large profit from the consump-
ton of articles produced by slave labor and We are
on terms Of amity with the United States, who
carry on an internal slave trade; but let compa-
ratvely weak nation give the least counter ance TO
the trade, fail to exercise the utmost rigor
and vigor in its repression and our indignation-we
might say our insoence-knows no bounds.
The London Times Of 10th utimo observes:-The
revival Of the slave trade would mean war of prin-
clple-a war OF religion between the slavetrading
states OF the North American Union and mankind.
Not only would the traders mud against them the
hand OF every civilized man Tot citizen Of the
North American Union. but in the States themselves
they would be in the Minority.
Paris writer, dating on 10th ut,, remarks -
Men seem to me to be living they did In the days
the first revolution, wden the maxim was, "Let
live today, for the axe may fall tomorrow" In
very direction the idea appears to prevail thst since
o one knows what may happen, 1t is as well TO
Joy the Utmost attainable luxury while the means Of
supplying II still exis and at the bottom Of this
feeling is, 70 my thinking, the Bourse The news.
Iapers are gradually getting into the hands Of the
reat spectators, and their chief interest lies in
their accounts OF what passes Ia the Rye Vivienne
everything seems to be sacrificed 10 th portion of
their intelligence. Men Of yesterday are living like
princes; their new houses lined with marble, and
gliding, and painting and ststuary.
The London Globe, OF the 10th of December, says:
Twice within twenty years Persia has acted on
the instigations Of Russia, and has undertaken ope
rations against Herat, well knowing that they would
be displeasing to England
The London Chronicle Of 10th ult, says:-The
Ann nm.
poses TO append 10 the article Of the Paris Confe
renee, has been presented not only TO the Powers
who were parties 10 that article, but 70 oil other
maritime States. And we are happy TO learn that
thus Tar 1t has not been re.ccted by any.
The London Post, of 10Th ultmo say:-It would
be great error TO regard the victory OF the South
in the election Of Mr.. Buchanan as the end Of the
contest between South and North. A struggle Of
seventy years s not 30 easily concluded.
The same paper Of 10th ultimo adds:--We know
not whether Mr.. Pierce wishes 10 play into the
hands Of his late Minister at st. James,; but the
statement In his message, Of stu Enclosed Spanish
grievance Ia a significant fact-one which win give
Mr. Buchanan an opportunity of fully developing
tst policy of injustice with which, for the last two
years his name has been not very creditaely nor
very honorably associated.
The London Nocs OF lsth ultno says:-The
greatest trading community IN the world cannot
make war on trade without self punishment Our
naval efficiency Is not increased, our national ex-
ohequer is not enriched, the duration of our wars
Is not diminished, their pressure on private re.
sources is fearfuy intensified, by the practice Of
plupdering on the high sees.
The London Post says:-No doubt American YES
sells TIRE hgs could pass from neutral port to
neutral poit without interference or obstruction;
but they coud not return home until the conclusion
Of pes,.. The United States government has
evidently had in view another contingency-one not
20 likely TO affect American inercsts-the possibility
Of conflict between two great European maritime
Powers, and the hope VI n rich and lucrative Ameri
can carrying trade.
