, " The One Idea Which History Exhibits ...
, " 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 Kengion , Country , and Colour , to treat the whole Human race as one brotherhood , having one great object—the free development oi our spiritual nature .

Even Of Greater Importance Than The Turk...
EVEN of greater importance than the Turkish or the Belgian intelligence , is the latest assurance from the United States , that the success of Franklin Pierce is ascertained . Before another number of our paper is out he will have been elected President ; and the intelligence of that event will probably arrive not much more than a week later . Ohio , Pennsylvania , Indiana , and Maryland , have elected democratic state officers by enormous majorities ; General Scon ' s canvassing and promise-making tour in the west notwithstanding .
It is an appendix to this important fact , that the conduct of the Spanish Government has had its anticipated result . The seizure of passengers and mails in the barque Cornelia , and still more the peremptory refusal to admit the mail steamer Crescent City , under command of a Captain in the United States Navy , had raised a flame of indignation in New York ; numbers who before abstained from the movement against Cuba , now muted with the national indignation against Spain ; and the general resolution was , that Cuba should be seized .
The " Turkish question" that has suddenly burst upon astonished Eifrope is the first illustrahon of the new declaration , " IJ Empire , e ' est la paix . " The Bank of Constantinople , a kind of sub-treasur y department , for getting instead of keep ing money , contracts a loan under sanction ° i the Sultan ; the sanction is withdrawn ; the bank declines that it cannot borrow the money ; the
° nders ° f Paris and London are as angry as a 1 : i ( ly ( air who has accepted advances only to meet a N'traetation ; the French ambassador who had "dvusod the loan threatens to withdraw , and France las the opportunity of feeling insulted if she Pjwises . As Protector of the Holy Places the '"" nperor elect can defend the ill-used bank ; and le ( l « " shake Turkey until—she falls into the l » te < . ti , anus of Russia .

election of a President to the Chambers implies that the nation will not at once acquiesce in any such demand , nor is King Leopold ' s acquiescence to be presumed . In France h « rself commerce marches as it is expected to do under the shadow of " order ;" great public works keep the working classes employed , and material prosperity is perfect—for the day . The " little bill /* indeed , is accumulating ;
but of course Louis Napoleon expects that some imperial windfall will turn up before the creditor shall lose his patience . But observers note a very marked reservation in the demeanour of the people ; they are content to take what they have , but they maintain a close self-possession . " War "is still the talk . The reduction of the army , which will delight our Peace-mongers in a few weeks , is a show of peace , a preparative for war . It is to be a reduction of the ineffective forces—a weeding
of the army , leaving it in more efficient working condition . England is still the popular object of attack . Louis Napoleon imitates his uncle with emendations . The Boulogne expedition served as a feint to . cloak the attack on Russia ; the modern converse will be to make an expedition against ltussia , Thibet , or some other remote spot , the feint for an attack on England . lishmen stick to practical "
In general Eng " politics very assiduously . At Loughborough , Lord Granby announces to a delighted country that he has no notion what his brother the Commissioner of Woods and Forests or any other of the Ministers means to do ; at Leominster , Lord Bateinan , —well known from George Cruikshank's epicannounces his absolute confidence in Lord Derby , although in not taking his stand upon Protection , Lord Derby had proved wiser than he
was ; and at Saffron Walden , Mr . William Beresford , who denounced the vile rabble at Braintree , denounces the emigration which conveys " the bone and sinew of the country" to a distance where the fanner cannot use it . Crushed bones for manure , unground bones to utilize the manure—these are the farmers rights , ami Mr . Beresford objects to their being withdrawn . Hut Mr . Packe ia the sturdiest of the Protectionist party , lie does not 8 ee why , because potatoes fail in Ireland , Protection should be declared dead , or Protectionists
should cry sanve qui pent . And he is right . Tin rcadincus of the Protectionists to run away in defeat is not conviction , but simply cowardice . Defeat does wot refute u doctrine : and if the
Protectionists were men of the old English stamp , they would uphold their doctrine in . the teeth of defeat , at least for the remainder of a generation . Perhaps they hope to betray Free-trade into an ambush , by running away and living to fight another day ; but an ambush in a panic never does its work . Mr . Beresford , however , is the enfant terrible otthe home government , and there has been a talk of removing him . The Globe announced his translation to Jamaica , as Governor ; and as Jamaica is " only a colony , " the idea was not a bad one—for himself and friends . Irritated at the withdrawal of
Protection , Jamaica has already talked of " cutting the painter" of connexion with England , and of drifting to annexation with the United States ; and to send out a member of the renegade Protectionist Government as chief officer would naturally conciliate the Jamaicans . A man of Mr . Beresford ' s discretion would be able to conduct the future negotiations with so much tact ! And when Cuba had been annexed , he could conduct the negotiations for Jamaica from shore to
shore ! Certainly he was the man to choose ; so much so , that the choice transcends what we might have expected even from Lord Derby ' s Government . Therefore we might have disbelieved the report , if it had not been contradicted by the Morning Herald . Among the original suggestions of the week , one of the most striking comes from Mr . John Bright , who possesses at least one of the qualities of statesmanship rarest in our day—a courageous disposition to treat affairs iu a broad and vigorous
manner . lie proposes a plan for settling the Church question in Ireland : it is to appropriate the property of the Established Church for a proportionable division amongst the several chief denominations in Ireland—the Episcopalian , Roman Catholic , and Presbyterian . It may be objected against Mr . Bright \ s plan , that it does not profit by the experience of the past , since it endeavours to fix u machinery for that which is fluctuating if Hot progressive—religious opinion . Jle proposes to dismantle one establishment , and out of the materials to construct three
establishments . His plan advances in the direction , of a correspondent of our own , and without any very great stretching of his terms , it could be made to include the advantages of that proposition , by vesting Church property in each local body , and leaving the selection of the local minister to the
