RUSSTA AND ENGLAND.
Judging from the dip'omatic outgivings
‘of these two formidable Powers, tbey are both alike actuated towards each other by |
‘ the most friendly, the most sincere, and the most magnanimous sentiments pos-~ sible ’—the former, in
(oh! no,) against little Vic's possessions in India, while the latter, assuming a frank and unsuspicious demeanor, leaves Russia to infer—but does she infer ?—that the traditional gullibility.of John Bull is what it always has been ; while, at the same time, the ‘fine old English gentle. man’’ is rubbing his hands in secret at the thought ofa possible tussle ere long with the Northern Beer. Will his anticipations be realized? We bave a misgiving to that effect; and our supicions are mainly founded on the hereditary hatred, as we may well call it, of the English people towards Kussia. I[n case the unrestrained ambition and lust of conquest ow the part of the Czar should indace him to lay hands on India, Johnny Bull will, to a certainty, be apt to lay bands on him. Tote 4 0? Gyro Oe eT IS1T “ A DISTINCTION WITHOUT A DIFFERENCE ?”
Two of the greatest reasoners and moet erudite men, Of this or perhaps of any age —men who, from -their youth up, have been knit together in ties of the closest friendship and sympathy, and who have settled down into a coincidence of view in regard to most subjects, are, at this very moment,' antagonistic to. each other to such an extent, in matters of religious faith, as to fill with quite as much astonish-~ ment as curiosity their thousands of ad- mirers in this country as well as in Eag- land. Of course we allude to Ex~-Premier Gladsione and Archbishop (aow Cardinal) Manning —and, strange as it may seem in such connection, we are reminded ‘of a lit- tle passage of arms that took place on a Certain Oceasion between Dr. Goldsmith and Dr. Johnson, They were speaking of the famous Literary Club of that period, of which they were both members, Gold - sinith maintaining the advisability of secur ing “new members’ on the ground that the old .ones had ‘travelled over each other’s minds,’ and as a consequence, the interest of the club were on the decline. Johnson, it is remarked by Boswell, was in high dudgeon, sternly remarking to Gold- maith * Sir, you have not travelled over my ind, I promise you.” Well, the on- cident, though doubtless far-fetched, is not without its beaiag upon the case in hand, seeing that if ever two individuals ‘‘travelled’’ most thoroughly *‘over each other's minds,” it must have been Glad- stone and Manning. And it is this same habitual and, thorough exploration—con- tinued from mere boyhood to advaacel age—-of each other's mental anfractuosi- ties that renders their clash of swords on the very edgeef the grave, a melancholy exhibition, to say. the least . It might well have beem supposed that that two such profound'y intellectual and liberal~minded men, each (after a long and blameless life) conscious of his rectitude of purpose, and calmly waiting the great change, would have contemplated with-a species of horror the prolemical. wrangle in which they have been latterly engaged, and would have preferred to leave. the stage undisturbed by any thing in the shape of rivalry, ani- mosity, or unevangelical feeling. Well, human nature, even at its very best, would seem to be a weak affuir—but who could have imagined tbat two such dear and loving friends as' W. E. Gladstone and the exempiary Archbishop Manning would ever have descended, as they have done, to the arena of polemics, the worst arena Of all.
The Louisville * Courier-Journal’ says that the Mayor of Hot Springs, Ark., lec. tured himself very severely in court the other morning for getting drunk. ‘You are old enough, Linde,’ said he, “to know better, Law. pained beyond expression | that you have thus disg.eced yourself and the city you, as its chief executive, repre- sent. I must fine you $20, and see to it that hereafter you conduct yourself more properly. '
The ‘* Vie Parssienne” thus describes a modern ludy 5 dresg: *‘ She wears a cravat and cuffs of old point lace, like Monsieur de Lauzam,a Pifferari hat, Polish boots, Lovie XIV, drésses, a Catherine de Medici Aumoniere, & Madame de Maintenon man- tle, a Maris, Antoinette -fichu, a Spanish mantilla, Queen of Navarre gloves, sultana veil, and nabob’s golden cloth skirts. This modern fashion isa pot pourri of all tash- ions, all nations and all times.
One of Pope's moral essays closes with a well known compliment to Lord Cobham, to whom it was dedicited. The poet, pur- suing the idea that every character has a ruling passion, wrote:—
‘‘and you, brave Cobham, to the latest breath, —
Shall, feel.your.aualing: passion stromag in death. hs
Such in those moments, as in all the past,
‘Oh, save my cotintry, heaven!’ shall be the last.’’ .

The London * News” says: The winter approaches with strikes and rupgors of strikes on all hands, There is aroely an important seat of industry which is not the scene of some dispute. “There i; -carcely an important trade in which there are not differences which may ripen“into actual conflict between ministers and men ; and as many of the strikers show no sign of coming toan end, the outlook for the winter is gloomy.
