The one Idea which History exnibita a 3 evermore developing it 3 elf into greater distinctness is the Idea or Humanity—the nobl 3 endeavour to throw down all the barriers erected between men by prejudice and one-aided views ; and by setting a ^ iie the distinctions of Religion , Country , and Colour , to treat the whole Human race as one orotherhood , having one great object—the free development of our spiritual nature .

Parliament Is To Be Dissolved By The Que...
Parliament is to be dissolved by the Queen on Friday next , and so closes the session of 1851—the most useless , paltry , insincere , and irksome within memory . We are spared any " retrospect of the session "—no one desires to look again at anything bo dreary . It is a view into the back yard of an ill-kept house when the family is leaviq . ? it—fall of thebroken farni £ M &>* i £ rinm »« il , » k « wit . «~ . ~ ... „ .. , .
, at the bar of the House . . So >^ Si * iJg ? BHE season . 1 he House has resolved to keep out the Jew ; not that it really wished to keep him out intending to admit the Jew , as such , it would not admit him unless he said words as if he were a Christian . I he Honourable . House cannot make up its mind without Ministers ; and they were cowed by the j Lords . Or rather , there is not a party in either House that cares to make up its mind at all . '
1 he Lords have passed the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill , with excellent speeches against it by Lord Aberdeen , the Duke of Newcastle , Lord Cage , and other peers ; but no alteration was made The Lords would not do anything that nii-ht mV < " the opportunity for the Commons to revise the measure . That was the reason we miimuso why Lord Monteaglf , who otherwise behaved as if he
were very ardently opposed to the bill , withdrew his last amendment , which was very good in itself and was faintly opposed by Ministers . Us object was to prevent the bill from operating collaterally against the action of the Roman Catholic dignitaries in their ordinary functions . In th ? debate on this amendment , Lord Lanndowne -said that if the Pone had abstained from the one mistake of giviui / to Iiih bishops , „ thus country territorial titles , the whole measure would have bem needless : why , S 2 > A ° '"I- " " " 0 UOt limilc < 1 to th ; it « n * h point ?

interest must be ascribed to the preparation of the ground by Puseyism , to the progress of conversion , with the sort of half conversion that consists in a sympathizing curiosity , and to the living zeal which more thoroughly penetrates the elder branch of the Church , much also is due to the striking political position in which the hostile Government has placed the Catholic hierarchy . Some doubts and dislikes may have hung about the J lower clergy , and even a portion of tire laitv ; but I " assuredly tfipyy $ X Jjave dipapp ^ j-ed | n the ' / ace of it ^ jm ^^^ j ^^ m ^^ M ^^ y - ' . whose ' ¦ EnKEnsBm full power of the superior position thus left open to the Catholic hierarchy will be first perceived when the bill being brought into practical operation , aggressive measures- actually commence , and the , prelates become de facto the leaders of their faith , in resisting active assault . If the Knglish Catholics are not disposed to yield , neither do the Irish seem so ; they have received Lord Arundcl and Surrey on his arrival at Limerick to stand for that borough as a leader ; they kissed his hands , ho having kneeled to receive the blessing of the liishop : they boasted that the cause of Kugland and of Ireland was for the first time the same . Ministers procure ;! the rejection of Lord Montcagta ' s amendment to exempt' Ireland ; and they almost hinted that the Hill would not be enforced in Ireland : we : arc much mistaken both in the earnestness and in the sagacity of the Irish , Catholics as well as Protestants , if they permit that law to remain unenforeed . Among the minor discredits of the week , Ministers have endured a severe rebuke from their late Poor- law Secretary , Lord Kbrington , for the miserable delays with which they trim between the prosecu- fcion and abandonment of Sanitary Reform .
Is the Thames purified ? Is London supplied with water ? Is our system of interments reformed ? ( Government has just asked for the money to buy the Hrompton and Nunhead Cemeteries ; but meanwhile a private company , tho National Cemetery Company , has shot far ahead of thai preliminary stage . One of the lust favours to the Agricultural interest whose distress wan noticed in tho opening speech , and remains unabated aswell as unrelieved , was the refusal to repeal or abate the , 1 lop-duties ! I crimps a belter mode of relief might be found ; but unquestionably it will not be found by Minis ! tei-H . Meanwhile , thn Agriculturists are founding Hoeieties for their own relief , as at Suffolk ; and Hey are beginning to discuss questions like Unit of tenant-r , Kht , whieb , once opened , are not likely to Htop at-the point from which they start . The great principle of concert makes too much progress to be much longer excluded from the agricultural mind . In the controversial discussion vl the Daily Nexvs we weo how even uinong
opponents it is becoming the subject of active discussion . Mr . William Couingham ' s lecture , delivered to a very numerous and very attentive public audience at Brighton , must have conveyed the main idea with striking practical illustrations to a number of intellects which it had not reached before ; but the very assembling of such an audience to be informed on the subject is a proof of the manner in which information on this great key to the solution of the labour question is sought . The apof
jpe ^ ranjee ^ e ^ C ^ tr & l C ^^ pur ordinary commercial advertisements is another > igtt ' of the progress with which this principle is . encroachiog upon every- department of society .. - It is in fact establishing . ^ fttoting of a practical kind amongsfc active politicians , who are beginning to find they can no lunger delay inquiry ; amongst a . 'conomists , who are beginning to recognize it as an addition to their own science ; among the practical operations of working industry , and now in the business-like depart neut o ( trade .
Interest in French politics has considerably subsided since the debate on the revision wound up and the supplemental vote of censure on the manoeuvres of tho Bonapartists in the petition movement was carried . Tho resignation of tho Vlinisters was only a matter of form . Louis Napoleon seems to have understood that the vote waa one against Imperialism more than against tho Ministry . And now the resolution of the Assembly to prorogue on the lOLh of August until the 4 th of November completely kills all remaining interest in the proceedings of that b . nly .
; ; i | ^ Meanwhile Paris is going to fete the Royal Commissioners of the Crystal Palace to-day , and during next week . M . ( Juizot , from his retirement at Val Richer , strikes another blow at Democracy ; and arrogates at the same inonunt to himself tho title of Democrat . There is a movement among the Legitimists , who appear to be forming an hypocritical alliance with the Klysir , in order to exclude the Prince deJoinville or uuy Democratic candidate ior the Presidency . This in only following out tho policy which Montnlernbert was denounced for initiating four months ago in the Rue des Pyramides .
Apprehensive of the coming winter and its attendant troubles , apprehensive that the workmen of Paris may be not very well employed , and knowing that starvation is not the best tnenil of reactionary Covernulent , the French Ministry have devised certain improvements of Pari « on a grand scale , which upon their own nhowing are intended to meet the diiliculty of short time and low or na wages . The plan is this : — " The city of I ' m is propose * to enlarge tho neutral inarkutM , ntut to prolong the Ruo < 1 « Hivoli to the llolol do Vilif ; the tiv « t culling for un outlay af r / . .
