" The One Idea Which History Exhibits As...
" The one Idea which History exhibits as evermore developing itself into greater distinctness is the Idea of Humanity—the noble endeavour to throw down all the barriers erected between men by prejudice and one-sided views ; and by setting aside the distinctions ot Keli ^ ion , Country , and Colour , to treat the whole Human race as one brotherhood , having one great object—the free development ot our spiritual nature . "—Humboldt ' s Cosmos .

Th E Suspicion Hinted Ly The Times, That...
TH E suspicion hinted Ly the Times , that Lord Derby may turn the deatli of the Duke of Wellington to a political use , and make it the excuse for tiding over the short session before Christmas , betrays the extremely low estimation in which the Premier , heir to the princely house of Stanley , is held . The suspicion of the Times is not without reason . We cannot but remember that Lord Derby shuffled with his pledges as to the time of calling Parliament together , and stretched the indulgence of botli Houses to its utmost , in order to avoid the disagreeable duty of expounding his policy—or his want of it . Now that the session is inevitably approaching , many recall his anxiety to evade explanations ; and it is remarked that his position has not become at all more decisive or intelligible since that time . The news of Wellington ' s deatli reaches Balmoral while Lord Derby is with the Queen ; and the Queen advises that the co-operation of Parliament should be obtained . When Parliament meets " early" in November , it will have to proceed with swearing in the Members , and some other questions ; and then the funeral question will have to be discussed , with the ceremony after it ; and then the Christmas holidays will be too nearly in sight for new business to be begun . Such is the calculation ascribed to Lord Derby , who is thus represented i'i the character of a dishonest man . Probably Much a nianuMivre might be intended to antago-» ise the conspiracy which is said to be on foot , to oust Lord Derby by a coalition of Whigs , Peelites , '" id Radicals , a rumour to which the Morn-ivy ' 'hronic / . e lends the countenance of n hesitating denial . Hut we mistrust all journalism , just at present ; there are so many temptations to magnif y events and possibilities . Ah to the funeral itself , the present design will probabl y meet the public opinion . Queen Victoria Rrucefully invites the concert of Parliament ; Iu » d in the meanwhile , suggests that St . Paul ' s would be the proper shrine to receive the remains ° l" Wellington . The next important question was , who should " Commander-in-chief . We had mentioned a " w ot the candidates , expressing our belief that tlle Iwat , General , Sir Charles Napier , would be ( Countuy Edition . ]
overlooked ; and the person actually selected is Lord Hardinge . Lord Fitzroy Somerset is said to have been the favourite candidate with the Army ; but the public knew little of him ; and , on the whole , the balance of advantages , positive and negative , lay with Lord Hardinge . Lord Fitzroy , it is said , goes to the Ordnance } Lord . Derby makes himself Warden of the Cinque & Pj & i . Lard Combermere is Gonstable of the Tower / and promotions respectively to the Colonelcjes of the Grenadier Guards and the Fusilier Guards , appease Prince Albert and the Duke of Cambridge . Oxford has distinguished herself by the corvine instinct with which she has swooped upon the vacant chair of the Chancellor . Before the succession at the Horse Guards had been canvassed , a clique of " Dons , " mostly of the low church odour , starts the Premier , with a shrewd eye to what Downing-street can give in exchange for a troublesome honour . It is not likely that the voice of the University , now scattered in vacation rambles , will confirm this indecent dictation , which has had the effect of suggesting names in every respect more worthy of acceptation , if the office is to be considered , as in days of University Commissions it must be considered , one of serious responsibility . Lord Ellesnicre , the accomplished litterateur , the patron of art and learning , the type of a refined aristocracy ; the Duke of Newcastle , a prospective Premier , a liberal conservative politician , and a staunch churchman ; Lord Carlisle , the amiable and cultivated cabinet minister , poet , and lecturer , are more conceivable candidates . Lord Sliaftesburymay be considered as the champion of the party that would fain have ostracized a Gladstone to elect a Bullock M ' arsham ; but in no sense can the Chief of the Protestant alliance be considered a " possible " man for Chancellor of the University of Oxford . Some half political proceedings have brought forward various Liberal leadcrs , » hut with a minimum of disclosure as to future operations . Lord John Russell has received the freedom of Stirling city , and has made a speech , altogether retrospective . Lord Carlisle and Sir James Graham reciprocated affectionate assurances in a mode that intimated a future not less than a past alliance between the two ; and Sir James expatiated on the improvements of agriculture . It seems that Sir Jaines ' a pickling cabbages , ami the reviving
prospects of the Whigs in respect to office , are advancing pari £ > ff £ SM . Meanwhile Government has undergone an additional insult abroad , in the person of Dr . Pagct , v the writer on Hungary , who has been seized in Saxony , with confiscation of manuscripts , & c . Dr . Paget seems to have heen living in very quiet ' style ,- iWM ^ h ^ tWriS ^^^^^^ o ^ t ' . 'Hungary , 1 ' ^ prafeJ ^ M ^ -is' a prottgt of Austria ' s . Lord Malmesbury had better take care what he is at , . ^ tf ^ M ^ bM ^ tetii write , as " Mr . Mather . could ; , 1 " The ^ wi es indorses two startling st atements from America . One is , that there has been neither settlement nor negotiation about the Fishery question , but that it remains exactly where it was before Sir John Pakington interfered . We do not believe that the assertion is strictly accurate , but it has a foundation in fact , and there is no doubt that the question still remains open . The other indorsement of the Times relates to the Order of the Lone Star , which is minutely described by a correspondent , and accepted as a great fact by the Times . A paragraph in the leading columns of the Times contains the most distinct recognition yet accorded to the existence of the aggressive tendency in America as a not altogether evil thing . The Times insinuates rather than expresses strong reasons why the Anglo-Saxon should be the devouring or absorbing clement in the rival continent of America . It has the most virtus , tin ; most " go , " the greatest capability for order , the greatest antagonism to anarchy , and strength to use its capabilities . It is the nation ; others artlets and hindrances to the development of its national life and to the civilization of the continent . And England at all events should be the last bo cry out—you are a robber nation . May we not say that the Times and its correspondents nre following the Leader—at a respectful distance ?
