Latest From Europe. (From Wilmer & Smith's European Times.) The case of Lamirande, a cashier of the Bank of France at Poitiers, who aleconded With 700,000 france, and got away to Canada, is exciting some interest, He was pursued a French detective, and traced tw Montte: where he was thrown into prison, oTherg) some infurmaticy in the warrant,“Aind ite ranidy’s lawyer brougit the irrega the Court of Queen's Bench in the city named, Thowae Dy a heforg Mr. q tiggy Daummont, wWodledl@rodbthat Betoun ne medic Wars rant of arrest to have been issued in France, ings taken-owith a view to obtain the extradition of Lamirands wnaatho- rised Wy the statute, and therefore illegal and void, and he ordered his discharge from prisen.

No doubt they wero, for they must strongly have reminded Lord Harroby's audience of similar sentiments whieh h otten fallen from the lips of Birmingham's own member, John Bright. Between the peer and the plebcian, however, in a public sense, the difference is very narked. “ When the great Quaker goes to the erpital of the Midland Counties to make a specch, he is accompanied by at least. hun- dred stenographers from all parts of the king- dom, a fourth part of them probably coming from London,indin a few hours the sentiments to which he gives expression are flashed to the rémotest corners of the British Isles. When the Earl of Iarrowby expresses these new and equally culirged views, it is only the lo- cal press of the town which pays the least at- tention to him. But there is one passage of Lord Tlorrowby’s address which deserves the widest circulation and the greatest attention, and it is another proof of his desire to redress the errors of the past. It is so important, coming from such a pain, trained in such wv school, that it ought to interest Pnglishinen in every part of the globe,—any part, in fact, where the English language is spoken, There is much good in general science andin the ac- quisition of languages. but above all things let me advise you not to neglect the cultivation of your own language. There is no language that contains so much noble thought, so much beautiful sentiment, so mach knowledge; and yet, to w great proportion of our educated classes, the beauties of our English language are almost totally unknown—I believe un- known to an extent which exists in no other country. I believe no Frenchman would be considered fit to be allowed to pass out of school without having read the firet French classical authors, and there is no German or Italian who does not stand ina similar position ; yet how many pass out of our schools, high and low, without having read a word of Shake- speare or of Milton, or of any of our great prose writers? Is it not a scandal that this should be?” This is a practical view ofa high- ly important question, and the tendency of modern thought runs in the same direction, x i It is satisfictory to kn ow that all diMculties e mnected with the settlement of the Venetian debt are now hrranged, and if the treaty of peace is signed, as will probably be the case, at the latest, on the Ist of October, Victor Emmanuel will make his entrance into Venice inten or twelve days following. Extremes often meet, and the Italians and Austrians, from being the bitterest foes, appear to be in afair way of becoming fust friends. In a commercial, as well as in a fraternal sense, this new and improved feeling will be of the greatest advantage to both countries.

It is clear, nevertheless, that a’ con- siderable time must elapse before English travellers can be induced to trust themselves implicitly in some parts of Italy, inevitable.

On the London papers all the great historians, novel- ists, poets, essayists, and the writers oftravels have betn tried, aud nearly every one has fuiled. ‘I can,’ said the late editor of the Lon- don Zimes, ‘find any number of men of genius to write for me, but very seldom any man of conimon sense.’ Nearly all successful editors are of this description, A good editor seldom writes much tor his paper; he reads, judges, selects, dictates, alters and combines, and to do all this well he has but little time for com- position. ‘To write for a paper is one, thing, to edit a paper is another.

It was cold comfort sure enough, yet food was sweeter, sleep sounder, and life altogether more enjoy- able in those days than in these. Arrived in New London, we were at home among old and tried friends. To say that we were kindly and hospitably treated, can conyey but a faint idea to the reader's mind of our truly hearty High- land welcome. ‘Fhose who once gain the esteem and regard of the New London people, will find that more loyal and con- stant friends do not exist on the face of the broad carth. Their open handed un- ostentatious hospitality to utter strangers is a matter of surprise and admiration to many—but their kindness to those who have once gained their confidence and won their friendship, is literally unbound- ed. We believe that we have a slight claim on the good offices of some of the New London people, and the hearty sin- cere unaffected manner in which that claim has been acknowledged, has been to usa source of heartfelt gratification. Where all were kind it would be invidious to mention names.

The hamlet consists of two really Nandgonre stores, a blacksmith’s forge, & shoemaker's-and satller's shop, a storehouse or two, and a farm house with out-buildings. We happened in the days lung ‘syne to be acquainted with Mr, D. McKay and Measrs, Pidgeon & Stewart, the merchants of the place, and can testify to the fact of their being jolly good fel- lows, every one. We were really sur- prised to find two such fine establishments at Graham's Cross—we beg its par- don—at Clifton, The assortment of goods in both, struck us as being very large and.varied, The blacksmith, who employs two hands, came as near as possible up to our beau ideal of a working man. He seemed to have been the very man who sate for Longfellow’s life-like picture of the Village Blacksmith, Here it is;— ©The Smith, a mighty man was he, With largé and sinewey hands, fo.

On meeting a long absent friend, the old gentleman’s thoughts very naturally reverted to the customs of his younger ‘days. He almost regretfully told us in his honest broad Scotch phrase, that there was not so much as a glass of whiskey to be got in the place. ‘* They are all temperate folks here now,” he eatd 4 oe eIRUULA, UU Sweaitay, and fighting as used to be at the Cross was awful to see and hear. Bat its all dif- ferent now," he added. Ah ‘man but the change was much ~needed;’*was his parting remark. We were sincerely re- joiced to heat this testimony to the bene- fit of temper , from one whose pre- judiees were “evidently in favor of the drinking customs of the olden tiines. We hope that the temperance cause will con- tinue to flourish at Clifton, and in other parts of the Island.
