<A FBENCHMAISr OW THE FIFTH OP Novembee.— The. Manchester Examiner says it is useful occasionally to know what foreigners think of some of our " insular " doings. For this reason, we print the folio wing very sensibleletter which has been addressed to us by a Frenchman who made his first acquaintance with Manchester a day or two before the Fifth of November, relating his experiences and reflections in connection with our mode of observing that celebrated anniversary. As our correspondent has only just taken up his residence in this country, and will probably perfect his English style by and by, we think it as well to withhold his nameF-^" Monsieur, le Redacteur,— ln my countree of France, we have the excitations, the revolutions, and the' explosions, but when we do spend our monjiaie in the powder we have for object to throw down the Tyrannic and conquer some liberties. Yesterday evening I new arrived in your land, near the noise of the firearms. -Ah that , I say to myself perhaps Mr Gladstone have made another attentat upon the Church or perhaps the Fenians have raised themselves against the Gouvernement and there is one revolution, I must go sea what it is. At the corner of my street one big boy discharge one pistol at my ear, and the noise of the guns it do redouble, ma foi I think the affair is warm, but on the road I do meet one friend and he tell me that it is the fete of G-uy Faukes and that in the noiae-it is one homage which one renders to the supreme being because Guy Faukes he intended to blow up the Bang and the Parliament and was discovered ; but my dear sir it is one very long time that this have passed itself ; generations have passed away, and events political all one sense very different have take place and I ask of myself what for the English nation with their well known good sense have continued to commenorate the evenement in one manner so desgreable and so dangereuse, because I hear that many accidents have occurred to the young men and the boys. Every bodi complaint himself of the bad state of the trade", but it is not possible that it is so bad, because if it was reelement the case, one people bo raisonable would not spend or permit to spend the money so uselessly in the noise and the smoke."
