DLPLOMATIG QUARRELS . £ ee French Ambassador has been suddenly stalled , and for the moment a rupture of the Enable relations , formerly subsisting between _fetro Governments , has taken place . _Theexjkations given in both Houses of Parliament kLord _Lausdowke and Lord J . Russeix , _tae extorted , as it were , piecemeal , and were _itlast b y no means of a very explicit or _satisfeiory description . Lord _PiiMEKSTOy—the tKiiey who used them as cats' paws to touch fehbt chesnuts—kept out of the way till all
cs questioning was over , when he made his _^ pearance , looking as innocent , unsuspicious , aid child-like , as if there were no such things is diplomatists , or diplomacy , or quarrels , in fe world . Since that time the broad sheets _tf the morning papers have been filled for two trtjhree days with a monster correspondence , _vioch has passed between the French Foreign Minister and the representative of the French fisranment , at the Court of St .

ss constantly slurred ofv upon one -plea _» another , Lord _Ealmebsion resolved to hnng tiie shilly-shally to a close . Some time _&& , therefore , the Greeks , were astonished _* _jftthe si ght of a fine and powerful British _*&* entering the Piraeus ; and by _shortiy * _fa finding that Mr .

In future di plomatists must fight their own battles . That is both the most
natural and the most economical plan .. When our statesmen arid diplomatists quarrelled with the French ' / _Mersj about : half a century ago , they set other people to cut each others throats , who knew nothing at all about the matter , who had no earthl y interest in it whatever , and they ' saddled unborn generations with a deb _£ which threatens , in the long run , to pull down all the institutions of the country--Throne , Church , arid Threeper Cents-- _^ nnless it he dealt with _timeoualy and vigorously ; We cannot afford any more ; of this
. There is no reason , why the ploughmen , shoemakers , blacksmiths , and weavers should be taught to murder scieritificjdly , and then be placed in front of an equal number of French ; ploughmen , _shomakers , blacksmiths , and weavers , similarly trained , in order that they may there and then mutually slaughter each other , to gratify the said diplomatists , and toiave _^ . their "noriour .

Well , let us suggest to therii ; acheap and very satisfactory way of terminating the affair .

As , however , ' the English magistracy and police have lately got an inveterate distaste to parties seeking _;** satisfaction , " for real or imagined wrongs , by the aid of the pistol , and as it is possible , that , - i / ihe rencontre came off in this country , " -it ; would -be prevented by these meddling and officious people , ' we advise " that it , ' should not take place here . : We : are anxious that
the honour of these gentlemen should be ' kept stainless , and , therefore , suggest the -Bots de Boulogne , the place where the irascible ' and valorous members of the French Assembly retire to settle their differences .

If they take our advice , they will have the glorious satisfaction of fi ghting their own battles—of saving their respective countries a great deal of money , " and whoever kills the most will bf course beithe victor .

'•''Tub Eyiii Era—Going One.Day Into A C...
'•' 'Tub Eyiii Era—Going one . day into a cottage iu the village of ; Catterick ,. in Yorkshire , I observed hungup behind the . door a ponderous-necklace of " lucky-stones / ' _t . ' e .. -stones with a bole through them .. Ori- diluting an inquiry as to . their , use , ! found the good lady of the house disposed to shuffle off any explanation ; but by . a little , importunity J discovered that they had the credit of being able to preserve the house and its inhabitants from the baneful . influence .-.. of the " evil eye . ' ! , " . Why Nanny , " said , I , '' . you surely deu _' t . believe in witches _riow-a-daysf ' _r-f- 'No ! Iz , ; , don't . say 'at I . do ; , but certainly , i' former times there was widzards au ' buzzards , and them , sort . o' thingsi " _. " Well , " said I , laughing , / ' ! but you surely don ' t think there are any now ?" _, : "No ! I don't say ' at ther' are , but Ida believe , in a evil eye . " After a little time I extracted from poor _Xanny more particulars on the subject , as follows : —How , that there was a woman
in the village whom sho strongly suspected of-bemg able to look with . an , evil eye , ; how ,. further , a neighbour ' s / daughter , against whom . the old lady in question had a grudge , owing to some love affair , had suddenl y fallen into a sort of p ining sickness , of which the doctors made nothing at all ; and how the poor thing- fell away , without .. any accountable cause / and finally died ; nobody knew why ; but how it was / . her ( Nanny ' s ) strong / belief that she . . bad pined away in consequence of a glance from the evil eye . Finally , I got tromheran account of how any one who chose could themselves obtain the power of the evil eye , and / the receipt was , as nearly as 1 can recollect , as follows : — " Te gang out ov' a night —• ivery , » ight , while ye . find nine toads—an' when ye ' ve ' igetten : t ' nirie toads , ye harig ' em up ov' a
string , ari' ye / make a hole and buries t' toads it ' hole—arid as t' toads pines / away , so' t' p _eraon pines away ' at you ' ve looked upon . wiv a yeyil eye , an' they pine and pine away . while / they die , without any diseas _^ at . all 1 "—Notes and , Queries ' . .. > , .. ¦ : Angliko on the Mot , —The / .. season ' for salmon _, fishing ori our fiiie river / basebmiriericed propitiously for- anglers this year .

' Burning of the Ooban _Qoebk . —Another instance of spontaneous combustion of coal , by which a fino vessel , the Ocean Queen , belonging to London , upwards of 800 tons burden , was totally lost , was reported on Monday at Lloyds . The unfortunate vessel had a full cargo of Newcastle coal , and was bound to Suez , for the supply of the Indian steamers ; On the 21 st of December , the captain _, was informed by one of the crew that smoke was issuing , forth from the hole forward ,: and he suspected the coal had jgnited . The hatches were at once removed , / when instantly flames burst forth ,
and every effort made to subdue them proved unavailing . The / ship was then in lat . 22 , 30 , ' south , and Ion . 53 . east , . some . 700 or 800 miles . distant fromJand . The crew , after an unsuccessful attempt to confine the fire to the hold , were compelled to take to the boats , and after enduring much suffering tbey were picked up by a French homeward-bound ship , 400 miles from the spot where the Ocean Queen was burned . They were safely landed at the Mauritius / : By a recent return there appears to-have been ho fewer than fourteen ships de _i str oyed by fire from similar cause during the last four years . '; . '
