NOTES AND COMMENTS.

THE telegram we publish this evening announcing that the French Chamber hai resolved by an immense majority to post- pone the vote of credit for a proposed expedition to Central Africa, may be significant or it may not be. It may be a simple coincidence that, after all the "tall- talk" in the French newspapers and In the Chamber about the relative positions and rights of France and England in Central Africa, and after the almost threatening language used towards us. in connection with our claim to control, on our own behalf, or, as Trustees for the Egyptians, of the Nile valley, the return to power of a Conservative Government in England, and the postponement in France of a long promised expedition into the disputed territory should be simultaneous. It may be; on the other hand, that the two events are connected by the relationship of cause and effect. Of course the change of Government in England cannot have been the sole cause of the French change of frout, but it is conceivable that it may have been one of the determining causes, and if so it has been wisely and prudently allowed to have its full force and effect, OOMS and SECOND FLOOR of QUEEN'S We hope to hear soon that steps are being
