ENGLISH AND FRENCH AID

Wehave given a conspicuous place in our col
umns TO the lancashire meeting, not with the
view of encouraging false hopes, but to show
that. in spite of our reverses and the cunning Of
the Yankees. combined with the perfdy OF Rus
sell, there is still a strong feeling in our favor in
England. Rev Mr. Hodge, in his recent lee
lures before the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton Of this city. iDculcated strongly the duty
of distinguishing between the Russell admins
tratiOn and the people of England.
The former is decidedly hostile to us. the latter
as decidedly friendly; and while maintaining our
rights aud dignity a nation, we should be care
ful not to throw away the friendship Of the Eng
lish people. Fresh from intimate and long con-
tinued social intercourse with Engshmen of all
classes DR.. H0ge, is very competent 10 give an
opinion of the value and sincerity of their friend
ship, He believes they can sincere. and he
thinks their friendship will be worth more 70 US
than that of any other nation Let them prove
by acts what they have often professed in
words and they will find that the hearts of our
people will return to them viii a rebOund-for
it has long been felt that the English are nearer
70 US than the French and that with them alone
a truly intimate popular friendship can be formed.

UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT or COL. srREIGHr AND HIS
ADJUrANT TO ESCAPE FROM RICHMOND.
The Yankee officers confuel in the Libby
Prison have on several occasions lately made I'M
successful attempts TO escape from that ;nstTtu
ton. The desire to escape seems to have grown
with them since the successful evacuation OF
the premises by Capt. Anderson and Lieutenant
SHELTON heretofore noticed and which was pro-
duced by bribing the sentinel on duty at the time.
On Friday evening, sentinel on duty in the rear
of tho Libby Prison, was sounded by two officers
on the subject of an escape which they wished to
effect at 81 O'Clock that night. He agreed TO
their proposals, they promising TO give him a
hundred dollar greenback and two watches for
his services Major Turner being notified of the
affair, directed the sentinel to let the parties
cape, and receive the bonus for so doing. and
that he would take care they did not get far off
Accordingly at half past three O'Clock, real
window of the middle tenement of the Libby es
adjustment was raised, a blanket rope extended

approaching the sentinel, they handed him the
greenback and two silver watches, and were ma
