The French and th^, English. A correspondent of the Carolyka tlio llev. F. A. Mood, of Charleston, who i?*now sojourning in Paris, contributes a rafjr interesting letter to tho colutnps of that pap.ejrv win which be gives an entertaining sketch of ttf# habits and manners of the people, and presents these in favorable contrast with those of the English. Our people, too, might well profit by many of the ..puggestions of the writer, and learn many useful lessons in the art of living from "Johnny Crapeau." 'Whilst we follow his lead 60 blindly in fashions of dress, we would.do well to cultivate as assiduously the amenities of social intercouse, and an attention to those trifles which make up the sum of enjoyment. Wc make,-the foliowinir extracts: Tbe Parisians are hs particular in their man, ner of eating as peculiar in their manner of living. Eating with them is a very grave and systematic allair. The American "bolting" process is happily here utterly unknown. In Paris, eating is neither the systematic vivacity of John Bull nor tho locomotive gulpbing of Brother Jounthan, but it is like everything else Parisian?a deliberate, polito and easy movement, superinduced somewhat may bo by tbe liberal use of ojive oil in their food. In England, every man at a hotel sits by himself to a little table, and a huge piece of beef is carried around?sometimes carted round on a small car, and a luige piece with the parboiled blood spinning out of its laid upon your plate, and when you have finished "lhat, if you need more, tho round is carted to vou airaiu. and a train vntir nlAfn i? filing with what is callcd a slice. * They have no idea .of variety in a meal at an English llotol. In Paris the ease J' readies the opposite extreme. The week I spent at the hotel I did not observe the same dish on the table repeated once, and though boarding now over a month in a private family, I am very far from discovering the slightest routine in eating. The versatility oftheir oooks is truely wonderful, and if they arc trying just "to fill you up," they manage most successfully to keep it out of view. At dinner?their grent meal,?both in the houses and at the hotels, nil sit down to table together, which seems only the dictate of a decent civilization. But the rush of the people and the clatter oi ine piaies nna Knives, ib.it seem to be an indispensable addenda of ibo American Hotels, arc alike unknown, and real gentility and quiet is had. I think if anything would make a Frenchman fight, it would be nil attempt to force two things on his plate at the same time. Each thing is eaten by itself and n ch?tngeof plate is demanded ; down to little articles like pickles, &c., ho will sometimes require a change of plates eo that you may expect at a French Ilc tel, at the shortest possible time, not to get through under nu hour and a half. It is marvellous the quantities of bread a Frenchman can eat, this is the prelude, tho interlude and the conclude to everything, from soup,clear through fish, meat, vegetables, ' dessert and wine, he is packing away brend I all the lime, and that is about the only] tmng j-on will see at a French Hotel, that seems to be a deliberate eft'ort "to fill up," but that, remember, is voluntary, and probably as much* habit as hunger. I cannot well put upon paper how entirely I have been carried away by tho uniform and unvevsal politeness of the French. I had heard of it and read of it, but, it is ^ beyond description. It seems to bean ex- \ quisitc compound of kindly feeling and presence of mind, and is horn with them, for the waggish boys and pprightly girla are all possessed of the same grace and kindness of manner: A French lady is never confused at any sight or any occurrence, however unseemly o'r shocking, and sho has the happy art of pVeserving her natural color and being blind at tho same time at events that an English woman would reouire four or five bottles of smelling salts with edo&ne to boot, to keep life in her?for an English or American lady will see everything'that is going on' nnd havo not the potter to. statod the shock. At table nothing agitates the lady presiding. A tureen of soup may be upset on the table, nnd into her lap by nny awkward savant, and instead of screaming in fright, or completing the catastrophe by upsetting the table in a sudden and spasmodic effort to cscape the 'liquid, she with the most graceful air, possible, will push back iter ciiair ana- commence shaking the folds of her dress, as though the whole occurrence had been a matter of course, and fully anticipated- Instead of breaking out into I outrageous wrath'against the servant, and abusing him like a pickpocket for his, awkwanihdsfv as-scems to be thcii1 resistible in-' stincfo^ Anglo-Saxon blood, she eends out ajnefry^augh and orders jnore. soup. 1 con.0^ 7 l?AviKbeenstle|igljted"over every aceidehf attflbte that t'fiave, wituessed, and it lias/been my.yooa fortuneto,. witness several. -It was wdrftinriucb more the pudding sauce*that- \Vas upset; to see the admirable tact 6f the good lady ?a'ughif)? it off and giving, to us dry puddirtg.

The Thespians. This popular young Corps gave another of their agreeable entertainments on Friday evening last, and we in commnu with many others had the pleasure of sharing in the enjoyment* of the occasion. Tbe handbills of the Evening presented an attractive programme, in the pleasing tjomeay "All tuai. unuara 15 uutuviu and the langable farce of "Slasher and Crasher," which were admirably represented. The characters were all well sustained. Easy, n?turnl and self possessed, the pcrformors showed a fine appreciation of their parts; and succeeded in keping alive the interest of the audience, who testified their ploasure by frequent applause. An agreeable feature of the Evening's entertainment, was the tasteful and scientific performances on the Piano by Mr. Engler, and which were gratuitously furnished for the benefit of the Corps. The Thespinns give another of their entertainments on nest Sale-day night, of which the public will be duly advised. The Southern Rights Dragoons. We had the pleasure of attending the "Tilt" of this fine volunteer corps, on Saturday last, at Norwood's old Field. The Company is now commanded by Capt? J. W. Pen-in, who has recently been elected to supply the vacancy occasioned by the promotion of Gen. A. M. Smith. .It is in quite a flourishing condition, And with its fine uniform, and well comparfconed steeds presented an imposing array. The present Tilt was the second anniversary celebration of the Company, Last year a fine saddle was awarded as a prize to private Ste piien t, i^euruui me bucchuiui ccnupeiivor. On the present occasion the prizes offered were first, a bridle, and 2d, a pair of spurs, to be awarded to the two members of the Company, who in threfe tilts, should bear' off oftenlst a ring, which was suspended at the end of the course. The judges being unable to decide between Capt. Perrin and Corporal W. li McCord, a fresh contest was awarded and the first prize was then assigned to Corporal Me* Cord, and the second to Capt. Perrin. Quite a number of ladies and gentlemen from the Villaga and the vicinity were present to witness the performances; and the bright smiles and joyful presence of youth and beauty lent fresh interest to the occasion. ?

M. KeittT^N, Last night, at about 10$ o'clock, the Student* of the South Carolina College being apprised of the presence of the Hon. L. M. Koitt, in Columbia, marched in procession to Janney's Hotel preceded by a band of music, to pay honor to the distinguished representative. After appropriate music, Col Keitt was loudly called for wnen he made his appearance and proceeded to address the large assemblage of Students and citizens who lmd assembled in front of the Hotel. Our time and apacc forbids a extended notice, which we know would be imperfect at best. "VVe can only say that the speech was one of the most cloqneut and appropriate efforts we have evor listened to. Mr. Keitt wns replied to by Mr. Lnrcy, of the graduating class, in a short but very happy manner, indicating as we thought, that his tnl cnt an on Orntor is of ordinary standard. The orowd soon dispersed, and to the tunc of n lively air the Studeuts returned to the campus. Thus closed the whole affair, which reflected credit upou all who were engaged iu it. The Election. The election is over, the choice of a Represeutativo to Congress from the Fourth Congressional District has been made, Geo L. M. Bon ham, of Edgefield hns been elected by a majority of 1467 over his opponent, the Hon. C. P. Sullivan, of Laurens. We give below the number of votes polled in the whole District: In Edgefield District, Gen. Bonhnm roceived 1281 votes, aud C. P. Sullivan, Esq., 275. In Abbeville District, Gen. Bonham received 950 votea, and C. P. Sullivan, Esq., 316. In Newberry District, Gen. Bonham received 605 vote*, and C. P. Sullivan, E?q., 393. In Laurens District, Mr. Sullivan received 942 votes, and Gen. Bonham 493. In Lexington District, as far as heard from the vote stands?Bonham, 361; Sullivan 147. Gen. Bonham is a gentleman of high character, fine talents* and winning address, and we have no duobt will prove a worthy representative of the Old Ninety-Six District. Wc extract the following complimentary notice of him from the Carolina, lime* : "We ennnot refrain from acknowledging that the choice is a happy one, and we believe tlint his career will prove a brilliant, one.

Edgefield may well be proud of her sons. Tho Dallas Clarendon Treaty. The rejection of the Dallas Clarendon Treaty has been officially announced in the Union. The objections to the Treaty us amended, are supposed to apply entirely to tho article respecting the Bay Islands. First: the British Treaty with Honduras transferred the Islands to Honduras, but provided that (hey should be Independent. The Senate so modified this provision as to require that the Islands should be under the absolnte sovereignty of Honduras. The reason for this amendment, was inni, according to the decision of the British crown lawyers, England wonld hare the right of protection over this "Independent Colony." In fact, the Treaty constituted the Bay* Islands as an English colony, under British protection, and the jurisdiction of Honduras was merely nominal. The Senate amendment rendered this jurisdiction actual and absolute. Next, the treaty between Great Britain ond Honduras provided that slavery should not exist in the Islands. This provision would have been no consequencc to the United States if we were not callcd upon to become a nnrty to it. The U. 8. Senate justly considered that it was an insult to this government, that it should assent to a formal condemnation of our own domestic institutions. Therefore, the Sen ate so amended the treaty to abolish this provision. These are, no doubt, the two points upon which the British Government hits refused to ratify tho amendments to tlia treaty. The treaty is, therefore, entirely at on end. We fall back upon the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and our own construction of it. Wu may amicably disagree, as heretofore, upon the question of the British title to the Bay Islands and the Belize.^ Itiseveb probable that the ClaytonBulwer will be abrogated. Itis the op inion here thnt ifonr amendments to the treaty had reached England six weeks before the election, they would have been occeptcd; and further Palmerston is determined to have Lhe Island of ilia ttnntmi n? * fino ham. tion for a N*val Depot, and n place of great naval preparation. . Our Relations with New Qranada. Mr. Morse, the special Commissioner who nu despatched by this Government to dfemand -from the Government ef New. Gran ana, satisfaction for wrongs committed upon tbe lives and property of American citizens, at Tannma on the 15th April, 1856, has returned, and although his report has not been puulished, yet it is well known that his minion Iim been a I failure. Tlie Government of New Granada, baa refused to enter into negotiations respecting the Isthmus, its transit route, and seaporta, and so fav from granting indemnity, is disposed demand reparation for alleged inaulta. Since the return, however of Mr. Morse, letters bavo been received from onr resident Minister at Bogota, Mr. Bowlin, which state that (he New Government is of a more liberal character, and would in hU opinion settle the pending difficulties with the United States, and recommends this Government to send a strong naval foree to Tanadia and Aiplnwsll. Of the demands m?d? by tbWOoTemmeqV nothing is definitely known^bnt tliey probably embrace the following poii^s: " ' "l.

Theot let of Slavery being thus cut off, it;would restricted to ite present locality; and as ems cipntion would be out of the question, t border States, would be forevfer identified wi the institution and induced to make commi cnuso with us in its preservation. Thesuggi tion is on original one and may perhaps pi ducc the desired result; but we are dispos to doubt the policy of all legislative enn< *> .ments, wliich are designed to control the fix< nt>4 nutural laws of trade.

The Kansas Meeting. We publish in another column tlio proc?e ings of the public meeting on Monday liigl last The meeting was largo and attcntii and the Address of Col. Baker was earnei able and impressive. The Colonel is atrue Wes ern orator. Easy and self possessed, with fine imagination and fluent utterance, he pa sesses a rich fund of anecdotc, liumor and p tlios, which enchain the attention of an aud ence and enlist its ^yuipalliies. In his advocat of the Southern cause in Kansas, be exhibits perfect familiarity with the whole subject ar pours fourth fact*, arguments and illustration with easy facility. He has been to Kansa uas examined me country, conversed wmi i len>ling nion, studied the character of the pe pic, and watched the operation of the antag nistic principles, which are there contendii for supremncy. He has returned with a hi( estimate of the fertility of the country and i adaptation to slave labor; and with high hop of the success of the pro-slavery party, if tl South will be but true to herself and rend timely assistance. Kansas is the Key to o position ; the great gate, whose hinges arc Missouri, and its bolts in the fastnesses of tl Rocky Mountains. Once iij our hands, it giv security to slavery in Missouri, whilst it is, it? protected on the Northwest by n mountain bp rier and desert wastes. We shall not attem| | a synopsis of the address, which occupied abo two hours in the delivery, and was interrupt by frequent applause, but would refer to t: report of the Secretary of the meeting, for < elaborate notice of its scope and general clia | actcr. | AVc cannot conclude this notice more appi priately titan by publishing the followii earnest appeal of CoL Baker, contained in t! following letter addressed to the True Cat linian: \ Ukionvih-r, S.

B. Pursuant to previous notice, a meeting of the citizens of our village and iU vicinity was held rp in the Court house, ou Monday night, the 11th us inetattt. On motion of Maj. II. j\. Jones, Thos. Thorn}r. son, Esq., was called to the chair, and on motion , _ nf ?li? Ttr.n T ! ? T> !_ T IT T " 'f o v. ?uv aaviii JL, v/. i rum, u. 11. l^ULilUX, was Appointed to act as secretary. The chairman after a few appropriate re,C8 marks, introduced Alplieus Baker, Esq., formerie ly of our village, but now a citizen of Eufaula, ;t9? Alabama, to the andienoc; whereupon he responded to the introduction in an enthusiastic, jle eloquent and finished speech of two hours, in ia- behalf of the cause of Kansas. Notwithstand>"? ing its length, j-et his zeal and fervor, his physi 1 a' cal energy and impassioned eloquence failed mj him not, but seemed to receive additional strength and impetus from the ntorm of applause which greeted him ever and anon, during its delivery. He held bound as it were by enchantment, youth matron and gray headed "e(^ man ; painting in the most pleasing, inviting and enticing colors, the bright and blissful ' s country of Kansas, and in the most solemn ',e declamation the baleful effects that will result to the boutn if she permit* it to become a nonslavery State. Hik descriptive power ncems >ut almost inexhaustible; liis imagery florid and !nt exuberant, though effectively shaded. His ,n* intonation and inflection pleasingly variant, and 'nB frequently feelingly pathetic. He is a young ur gentleman of the finest talents, and his great re* success as a speaker, stamped him as an orator ,n# of nature, improved l>y arU We had designed, ls> originally, giving a synopsis of hU spcech, but r^* its length and the various subjects upon which he touched, forbid such an undertaking. Such, "P too, was our anxiety to listen attentively to ' j the speech, that even if we were accustomed v to reporting, almost literally, the language of m public speakers," uttered on 6uch occasions, we would be unable to do justice on p*per to this oration. We hope, therefore, that those who read this report -vVill be satisfied with the con^ current testimony of all who heard it, that it was worthy of the reputation of the man? tl.t i.~ i :m ^11 4i.~ .j i in? uiai/ uu uuo, ju it MK/s, uii mo |.uwcr uuu uriiunn* " ey for which fame has given hiin credit; and . j that his effort on this occasion,- marks him as cue of the first young men South Carolina lina given to the mighty West. I heartily wish I could depict, in exact ctfloWi of truth, what he said on the occastofi', especially his remarks on ^ Kansas proper. He is satisfied, be3'ond all * shadow of doubt, that she will he a slavchold*ng ing State; answered, convincingly, the urgund ment that is urged against her as not being adapted to slave labor, by reference to the fact, nn that Virginia, the largest slaveholding State in ho the Union; that Kentucky and Missouri, all 3," slaveholding States were on the same parellcl of latitude with Kansas, lie spoke iu the most JW extravagant terms of the fertility of the soil, iq. and salubrity of her climate, represented ?r- a large portion of it; as being the finest body of land of upon the globe. In truth, when I recall to my mind the glowing terms in which be he spoke of tho undeveloped resources of "this .ry sleeping empire of fertility," her climate, her sky, her soil, her rivers, her lakes, her rich volje her might}' forests teeming with the wild,v est fertility and the raukest, most luxuriant ry vegetation; her boundless prairies, sweeping ar out, or more appropriately, circling out grandly to your view, her splendidly waving, rustling I8 neias 01 grain?nems uiat were not only reaotin lent with bloom and green and black and sueto culentand lovely and delightful for the.eye to d welljupon, but which, without exacting toil from ,he the husbandman, or very little of it, will yield ,ve one hundred fold to the acre. 1 aay, when I la' recall these things to my . mind, I am almost persuaded to give up acquaintances, friends, be relations, farhily and my own loved Carolina, ey and pitch my tent upon the brackish waters of those far distant prairies and lend a helping hand to fell those vast forests through which ^ the moose and deer have roamed unacared since the dawn of time. ^ Upon the conclusion of the speech, Maj. IT. no A. Jones moved that a committee of three be Jie appointed by the Chair to take up a subscription c" in the Villfttre. Whereupon Mai. H. A. Jones. Dr. Wardlaw and the Hon. J. F.
