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 poet was no prophet.’ [t is record« ed, in the Memoins. of Hanah More, that gless of jelly to a passion that he flung the jelly, glass and all, into the face of his niece, and died of. * ance, ” the very coolest i! |and most conciliatory tone possible unde: | wo 1 the guise, however, of ‘injured inno- | depot dripping wet the other morning, said | cance,”’ declaring that she hss no designs ~ ne er NO. 159 | Miscellaneous — Tews. eee eS "Byron died at Missolonghi, on “April 19, | 1824. died of improper treatment it isbe. | heved, which realized bis own theory that |‘*more died by the lancet than by the A man who appeared at the Bridgeport that he fell overboard from a vessel in the Sound during the night, and giving up hope of rescue struck out for the shore. where he landed in two hours.

Wire Worrn Havine.—Chicago, Oct. 19th.—A wellsto-do Irishman namad Miles Ktynch, who keeps a grocery store on the corner of Catherine and Union Streets, in this city, received more congratulations than any -man in America to-day. His house is crowded with friends and they are having a jolly time of it. Mules married Mrs. Kiyneh six years ago, and she has sinoe presented him with eleven children, or equal to two and one«sixth per annum. four times she has become the mother of twins, and yesterday evening she sur-~ prised her husband by giving birth to triplets. .The children are fine, healty babies, and are doing well. The works atthe Palace of the Univer- sal Exhibition, Paris, are advanciag rapids ly ‘The collonade of the great Salle des Fetes and the galleries belonging to it and which consist of 360 pillars of the Corinthian order, are receiving the finish~ ing touches. The immense hall itself, which is 50 metres in diameter and 45 fect high, is almost entirely completed. Pre» parations are being made to instal the colossal organ intended for it, The mag - nificent mozaic pavement of the adjoining vestibules is already far advanced. Nine hundred workmen are employed on the building, including the carvers, who are occuplee 1. embillishing the two great galleries of the Retrospective Exhibition of Archalogy. They will be ready at the bey ginning of November to receive glass cases destined to contain the finest collection in the world. The objects which will be brought here are estimated to be worth more than 300,000,000 franes. ch, 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. [It is announced that Cardinal Manning being unable to be present at the marriage. of the Duke of Norfolk next month on ace count of his call to Rome, Monsignor Ca« pel will tie the nuptial not. The cere« mony will surpass anything of the kind seen in England since the Reformation, and itis expected the Pope will specially delegate an ecclesiastic to bestow the Pon: tificial blessing. Troy. N. Y., Nov. 3 —The wife of Ste- phen Way of Mechaniesville stole out of the house while her husband was sleeping with four children, 9, 6, 4, and 13 years old, and threw them in 4 deep and swift running creek in the rear of the premises and jumped in herself. Lhe eldest child reached the shore and gave the alarm and the mother and one child were rescued alive. T'wochildren were drowned ; the bodies were tound, PortaGeE bu Fort (Que.), Nov. 10th. —A young man, twentystwo years of. age, by the name of John Goddard, was instants ly killed at the Chenau mill yesterday. The hands employed in the mill had al! left for dinner, Mr. Goddard remaining as usual to oil the mechinery, On returning to the mill the unfortunate man was found in 4 most horrifying state: bis clothes had caught between two cog wheels, drawing his breast in between them, which had cut it nearly in two. His neck was also broken and torn. James Gorden Bennett has been mulc-~ ted in a verdict of $10,000 bya jury in a suit against him by Phoebe Robertson as damages for the following libellous words, published in the * personal’’ advertising ‘column of the N.
