Ought England and France to in-some erfere in the American struggle washave lie question in the Fleet Street Dis cussion Hall, which found, to our sur prise, several supporters and a sympa thizing audience. By throwing the responsibility of the" terrible distress Lancashire on the American revolu tion, the secession press of England ire most industriously instructing the people to encourage immediate inter vention. The cheers which welcome the se cession speakers, and the evident sha* ky position of the Secession Govern ment, point to the strong feeling that exists in England fbr the success of the South. Mr. Train certainly is a a bold man to attack such numbers, but it must be remembered that he never forces his opinions upon his au-wise dience—that is he never rises until loudly called for, as was the case on Monday night. FORMER INTERFERENCE OF ENGLAND AND FRANCE. Mr. Train (who was repeatedly call ed for, and received, as usual, with loud applause): England and France interfere in the American war? What right have they to interfere Let En and and France mind their affairs, and leave America to settle their own dispute. The precedents mentioned by two speakers, where England inter ned in the South American repub lics, bear no analogy to this case. It is positively insulting to mention the three closer powers of Paraguay, Ven ezuela, or Central America, with the more or less United States of Ameri ca. And why did England interfere even there? Because they were weak and she was strong. Belgium and Greece were better precedents but those powers were also too feeble to 8 is a wide field h«twp«n H.« Rnv„l„t is a wide field between the Revolutio of the colonies against England and the conspiracy in Secession against the country. [A voice Where is the difference V] Simply, one people revolted on theto issue that taxation without representa tion was robbery Avhile the other eon spired against the very laws the South erners made themselves. Possessing more than an equal representation, they Avent in for more by robbery, ig noring taxation altogether. Suoh men as Lafayette. nnd^De Grasse, and Rochambeau, are again well represen ted in another age by the Count of Paris, the Duke of Chortres, and General Havelock, and a dozen great names Avho are fighting iu the cause of freedom.

Every soldier is a voltaic battery every officer a steam engine in breech es, for the future to be of American manufacture. Our revolution is a war of ideas, a war of freedom, a war for oppressed mankind. There is more braius in Northern hands than in Southern heads—that is why we take the belt. ENGLISH PHILANTHROPY. Even Wellington and Bonaparte begin to pale, with their one-barrel artillery campaigns, when compared with our revolving arms.

COLONEL CROSS SECURES HIS OWK PARSON BY FORGED PAPERS—UN PARALLELED SKILL IN CHIROGRAPHY The finesse and strategy of Monroe Edwards and other noted criminals are matters, of police history. The Eastern Penitentiary holds an occupant in the person of Colonel Cross, who has proved himself the Napoleon of his profession—*the brightest star in the constellation of forgers and bogus financiers who have figured in the his tory of crime. Of Colonel Cross' exploits the tenth part has not been told. It was he Avho forged a pardon for the forger, Hunt ingdon, by Avhich that distinguished culprit almost escaped from Sing Sing prison, and but for the hesitancy of the warden, would have beeu let again loose upon the community.

He took a carriage direct for the penitentiary, and presented the pardon to the war den. The genuineness of this docu ment being beyond peradventure, Col. Cross Avas delivered up. The tidings were conveyed to him in his cell, much to his apparent astonishment, and with a bag over his head he was brought out to the Warden's office. Here he was dressed in the clothes in whioh he entered the prison, his striped livery was taken off, and in company AVith the Marshal and a deputy, he was driveu to the Baltimore depot.
