proposing 10 welcome queen flctOrla ~ OnerD0urgl
The French invitation to Cherbourg Is proof that
the Emperor himself has surm0unted the causes OF
fret and irritation and that lie is quite prepared to
continue and persevere in the Anglo French alliance,
II the British cabinet, in their wisdom, will allow
that alliance to be kept up.
The London Times, of July IA, says:-The sympathy
between the two governments is tar too complete to
create the least i'll feeling the subject. To-day the
Emperor of the French calls upon us to rejoice DO
cause he bas completed work which may enable
him to invade us; TOT morrow let us claim his con-
gratuations because We have placed ourselves in
fitting state t. resist the invasion The Emperor Is
far too friendly to wish that should exist merely
on sufIeIance, and will be much pleased to find SO
good an ally has achieved independence even of her
friend and brother in arms We know that Cher
bourg il only practical joke but we should be
willing TO allow lively neighbor to ontdO us in
righteousness When we have feted the complete
ness of his means of attack it will he only proper
acknowledgment Of his cvility to call upon him for
bis congratulations on the adequacy OF our means of
defence
The LONDON Times of the 10th of July says:-We
are rather disposed to agree with those who oonnect
the iaDaticism OF Judah with the movements which
are taking place all through the Mahomedan world.
For five years the votaries Of that faith have been
suhe cted to every influence of fear jealousy indig-

The London Times of the 10th of July remarks:--
We must trust no more English troops in India to
wastelul martinets, who, while they count almost
too closely the men who die by lead steel, take
DO tally OF the wretches whom they sacrifice to their
ignorance. England will not go on sending out
25 600 men year to be fritered away in India to
10 purpose We want every one OF these men at
home. Everybody in India seems to imagine that
we have nothing else to do with them but to expend
them, and that we ought to be only too happy to
have such an opportunity.
Two motions made by Lord Brougham, on Tuesday
night 9th of July, seem to have escaped the atten-
ticn Of the Parliamentary reporters. They were OF
importance, ms bearing on the questions winch have
of late occupied much of the public attention.
The first for returns Of the number OF immigrants
from India end China who have been introduced into
the British East or West India colonies since 1885
with a statement of the mortality on the passages
the duration OF the voyage OF the number who have
left ca colony to return home of those who have
died there of those who have become chargeable as
paupers otherwise on the colony; how those that
remain are employed and a statement showing
what proportion of the expenses on immigration ac-
count has been paid out of the funds of each colony,
and how much OF the Imperial excheqaer. The
second returns refers to the Colony OF Sierra
Leone, and embraces statement OF the names Of
the various officers who have been employed in the
administration of the affairs Of that colony since
1850; setting forth the annual amount of salary and
allowance in each case; Also whether any one indi-
vidual holds more than one office, and IT so, how
many, and what is the amount Of salary and allow
ances appertaining to each. Both these motions
were acquiesced in.
The London Post of sth of July soys:-The
capabilities of Chinese emigrants in the West Indies
have already been tested Those of the better class
are in every way adapted to the wants of tue
planter. They are temperate and thrifty 10 their
habits and much more industrious than the African.
The agriculture of the Chinese has been famous in
all ages and their knowledge and love of their
cient art they carry with them wherever they 90.
Those who have settled in the West Indies fire.
quently excite the admiration Of their mas
tiers, and the envy of their sable fellow labor
efs by the skill and taste which they exhibit IN
cultivating the little gardens allotted TO them.
A correspondent Of the London Ners, writing ON
eth of July says:-The unfortunate holders OF Cen
trail American bonds 10 Europe have submitted To
hardship with patience, so long as foreign war or in
ternal commoton checked the progress OF these fer
tile regions; but now that public highway is to be
made through Nicaragua, and a communication
tablished which, while it will be Of general utility 10
the world at large, must be OF incnculable benefit
to Central America itself, think the time hats
rived when the deiauting States should be reminded
by our government that, before enteting into new
engagements with either France the United
States, an equitable arrangement must be made
respecting the debts due to Great Britain for up
wards of thirty years.
A London writer to the London Times. dating

The Emperor is says the Paris Monitetr, seriously
engaged at present III the consideration OF question
of the highest interest to the inhabitants of the
of France-the delimitation OF the woods belonging
to the cOmmunes and those Of the State. For the
last twenty years the regularsaton Of this question
has been in allegiance, but on the exoress recon-
mendaton Of the Emperor, and the active interven

been arranged in many parts. NJ. FORBADE, Director
