Change of Sentiment In England

There is every indication from England
that veay great change is going on in re-
lation to the affairs of this country. As Mr..
Leatham, Member of Parliament, in n late
speech, remarked, there was great lack of
information in the minds of Englishnlen in
cessiouists very early took the precauton to
corrupt the British press, and thus to deceive
the people in regard to the trus issue upon
lis. Such men as Bright and Golden, and
Leatham, and others have however, more re-
Gently taken the stand, and have been able
to refutc tho sophistry and deliberate false
hoods which had been propagated by the
hreling presses of England against this coun-
try-and we now believe that most enthu-
siastic feeling is being aroused in favor of our
government, which will secure u more just
conduct on the part of the aristocratic lead
ers of England towards us, and give us real
aid and comfort in our future progress in the
war. The Liverpool European Times, OF
the 1ath of December in noticing the speech
of Mr.. Leathean', admits that Gin giving
currency to these ideas, Mr. Leatheam is
merely expressing the sentiments of large
section of the Evangelical class Of Christians,
and i. is clear that a reaction has set in
against the South and in favor of the North,
as compared with the feelings entertained on
this subject in religious circles twelve months
ago"
The following is an extract Of Mr.. Lcath
ANS speech -
"rhey were not in position, with their
very limited information as to the effect OF
the blockade upon tho South, to predict how
long the heroic ragamufins, of which the
Southern armies were composed, would be
able to proong this unequal contest. Yet
he thought it was certain that unless the
mind or America should change, and the
Democratic party there should prevail upon
the North to shrink from those sacrifices and
efforts which were necessary to insure sue
cess. or unless Europe should Interfere to
break the blockade, the process that was
now silently aud surely going on must ultl-
rnately end in the complete prostraion and
exhaustion Of the South.

Nothing could be more offensive to high
spirited people like the Americans, than the
cold dissection of their policy on the part of
those who stood aloof from their passions
and fears, and who, perched upon an emf
nence OF security, amused themselves by
shooting keen arrows of ridicule in the midst
of men who were struggling for their lives
But for other reasons it was necessary they
should sift this question 1t was necessary
they should do SO because the position of
neutrality that this country hid wisely as
sumed-and all honor to the Government for
the steadiress with which they had adhered
to that neutrality which was endangered by
the eager partizanship of those who, not con-
tent with taking side upon this question,
were anxious to carry their sympathy for
ward into action.

PERSONAL HABITS OF TIE PRESIDENT
Those who know tho habits of President
Lincoln are not surprised to hear of his
personal visit to General Burnsile-nor
would any such be astonisbed to know
that he was IN New York at any time.
If he wanted to SEQ anything or any
body, he would be as likely to come on
as TO send He has on orbit of his own,
and no one can tell where he will be or
what he will do, FROM anything done
yesterday. If he wants newspaper he
is quite IS likely to 90 out and get it as
he ia to send after it II he wants to
see the Secretary of State, he generally
goes out and makes call. At night,
from ten to twelve, he usually makes a
tour all round-now at Seward S anb then
at fIalleck's; and If Burnside was nearer,
he would see him each night before he
went to bed. Those who know his hab-
its and want to see him late at night,
follow him round from place to place,
and the last search generally brings him
up at Gen. Haleck,s, as he can get the
latest army intelligence there. Whoev-
er else is asleep Or indoleut, the Prasi
dent is wide awake and around. - Cor
