The Herald ON the Situation.

y So delighted is old BENNETT at the passage Of
STEVENS Bill in the House, and so certain Of the
fall Of the President, that he is beginning to take
compassion at the unfortunate predicament that
functionary finds himself placed in, all because
she would not tako our advice says the Herald
50, for Mr.. ANDREW JoHNsoNs benefit, BENNETT
tells story, and gives the President more advice
A somewhat famous American traveller, the
Chevaler Wikof, says that <sonce upon time" in
journey among the mountains of Attica, III the
classic lsnd of Greece, he found himself on his
donkey in narrow pass, confronted by another
donkey with his driver walking behind him. The
two donkeys came together face to face at point
where it was impossible for either to pass by the
side Of the other, and where it way very discuIt,
too, for either to back out. In this emergency the
nderess donkey, with the sagacity of an old canl-
paigner, laid himself down flat and well braced
upon his stomach with his face close to the
ground, thus making q bridge over which the
Chevaiers donkey and the Cheyalier paasad in
again to his feet and both donkeys, one east and
tho other west, went on their way rejoicing Now
matters stand, the Chevalier Wikof's donkey is
stOld Thad. Stevens" who has the right Of way by
the wall and the other donkey is Andy Johnson
who, by the law Of the road, must yield the wall
or in some way make passage. IF he can't di-
verge from the path without going over the preci-
pice his only alternative is to lie down fat and
well braced upon his stomach, and still and steady
SO that sold Thad, with Congress upon his back,
may walk right over him. viii not this be better
than the example Of Curtius leaping into the gull?
We think it vastly better.

! The Paris correspondent of the Lo-Ion Times
IN the issue Of that journal Of tho 25th ult, give
a brilliant account Of the reception Of MIR. GLAD
STONE IN Paris. The Hon. E1-Chancellor Of tht
Exchequer was his return from Italy and attended
the obsequies of NJ. V1CToR COUSIN, from the Sor
bonne, where the philosopher had resided 70,
thirty years, to the ancient Church of St Etienne
du-Mont. On Sunday, the 9th, Mr.. G. dned a
! the Iuler1es with the Emperor. On the day pre-
vious he was the guest of the Political Economy
Society The dinner was given at the Grand 10.
TEL and is reported to have been splendid affair
one hundred and twelve guests sitting down to
table-among them number of tile most distin.
guished men of France. When dinner was over
M. PAssY, the President of the Society, proposed
the health Of their distinguished guests, among
them "a man OF Eancendent genius, who had rem
dered such signal services to his own country and
to mankind" s'f
Mr.. GLADSTONE rose, amid enthusiastic cheers,
and spoke for three-quarters Of an hour, and
although in English to French audience, it is
said that the charm Of his voice and manner proved
superior to the barrier Of the unknown tongue.
He modestly disclaimed am ner;t in the arrange
ment, during his administration Of the (French
and Engish) treaty of commerce said that the
credit Of that measure was due to the Emperor
NAPOLEON and to Mr.. CoRDEN
11S auuSlou 70 MI. CODden was most touching.
1t was received with a burst Of applause
MIR. Gladstone fully admitted that England had
long sinned in the matter Of commercial freedom,
but she had since made amends; her repentance
for her e .ors was before the world, and she had
done n in: the way Of satisfaction. There was
STILL indeed, something TO do, and that something
he hoped would be realized. Other nations, taught
by experience, would, he trusted, soon follow the
high example set them by Franco and England
The path Of commercial freedom was Like the path
OF virtue; it was only the first steps that were diff
hcult, the last were the most easy. he had heard
people say that France had greatly proated by the
Ireaty Of Commerce with England; he sincerely
hoped the statement was true, aud he assured his
hearers that he not only rejoiced at it, but he
offered them his most sincere congratulations
Englishmen were not jealous OF the good which
France derived from that treaty, for acts like these
promoted good will among nations in place of the
luminosity which in other times, and before they
came to know each other, prevailed between them
They were the best guarantee for the perpetuation
of good will, and eventually for the peace of Eu-

that it only the absence of conciliation in

The Emperor then proceeded to say that the

Christians in the East, protect the rights Of the
Porte, and prevent complications.
The Rome treaty Of September has been execu-
