ilanthropy and virtue! Her ruling principle of action can no longer be hidden from the most simple and credulous. What is "beneficial to the nation,"--that is her conscience. No matter how others suffer; no matter what injustice, what crime, what misery, may be the consequence to other countries, that which is "beneficial to the nation" is the keystone of British policy. She takes no more into calculation the results of her selfishness outside those specks on the ocean called the British isles than the inhabitants of this planet take into account such an imagination as the influence of their actions upon the other spheres that compose the universe. To Britain, the British islesare the world, and their benefit the great use of the rest of mankind. Whether her hard-hearted selfishness towards America will be crowned with ultimate success remains to be seen. At present, it is evident enough that she has done more to cripple her American rival, and build up her own fortunes, th

Henry S. Foote has relieved himself of his superfluous gas since his arrival in London by a publication in the journals of that city, in which he comes down in a hurricane of invective upon the Confederate Government. He seems to have swallowed all the winds of the ocean, and let them loose in a tornado from the British isles.

It is announced with great satisfaction by the English journalists that Queen Victoria will formally emerge from her long seclusion since the death of Prince Albert on the occasion of the opening of the new Parliament, next month. The Queen, once so popular, has suffered of late a great decline in the enthusiastic favor which once heralded with delight her most insignificant movement. It is not that she was no longer the model matron of the British isles that she ceased to be the national idol. On the contrary, the cause of complaint is that she has suffered the sorrows of widowhood to make her forgetful of the duties of a Queen. It is not the neglect of official responsibilities which is charged to her account. She has not omitted the performance of one duty appertaining to her royal position, and it is stated that she has given even more of her time and attention to the dispatches and appointments submitted by her Ministers for her approval than during the lifetime of he
