Omnibuses no longer * wait . Iby . the /* ' hundred ^ at iVince ' s-gate . ' cabs are . agafii scattered ; jfoe Ejfppsitipijis oVesr . " T * he cloSijEig . ceVempn ' y was the least worthy part of the whole , summer ' s spectacle '; ' the end uncrowned the work . The delivery of prizes which had so little of the discriminatory , in them Us to confound Monti ' s Eve wit ^ h a host of works ^ fcjat will be forgotten , could have in it little to impress the bystander ; the delivery of a prayer , the words
of which were only to be learned afterwards by the reader of the papers , could not engage the religious feelings of the concourse—you could not share in what you did not know anything . about . The most impressive phcenomenon was the aspect of the papers next day—flooded with lists of the prizeholders . The public presence in the Exposition ended gloriously on Saturday , with a brilliant day and a full assemblage ; the dismal weather and day ceremony of Wednesday formed an anti-climax . But no anti-climax could destroy the work of the
Exposition itself . Kossuth is already the object that eclipses the Crystal Palace in the public regard . The possibility of his arrival has been watched with daily solicitude . In spite of systematic attempts to divert the English people by calumnious stories against him , constructed with laborious painstaking , efforts wearing a studied appearance of carelessness —efforts which find aid in our Ministerial journals— the public continues to manifest the warmest sympathy with his adversity in the past , and hia hopes in the future . Provincial towns compete in preparing to send him addresses . The Central Committee continues to receive adhesions
that promise for him a truly metropolitan welcome . His brief preliminary stay in this country will show him the spirit of the people ; and after hia return from America , we believe that he will find the spirit not abated . But while the Exposition has gloriously ended , and all is eager expectation of Kosauth and his Magyar {{ lory , there is a cloud in the West sad enough to contemplate . A Treasury with the maw of a Polyphemus anxious to swallow up , by a pretended juHtice , the wrecks of property in the South and Went of Ireland . Ratepayers Hying fast and
far , unublc to stand live , six , eight , eleven shillings , u' » d in one union it in said , one pound five in the Pound . The question naturally gets itself askedwiry worry these unions for immediate repayment « f inatahneutH , unless you are prepared for wholesale confisc ation ? ( iiveuHa "bill of particulars , " exclaims Y rd Lucan , " and postpone your demand . " Wo decline to fjjive a bill of particulars , in the response ; l »« money has been spent , and somebody must r « l-und it .

/ Turning again nearer , #$ iwwfr find some small excitement on the sWate ' jrBS ' pecting the promised Reform Bill . The rumour is that Manchester is to speak out and instruct Lord John Ruesell in his duty . Is this to be a counter movement or an auxiliary movement to that of the National Reform Association ? It is time somebody spoke . At present we are all in the dark ; groping among unofficial speculations . The public mind is astray , and no leader comes forward able to guide it .

What i ' firfitfto ' us that out . of £ 295 ; OOO exptended in these unions , only £ l 72 , OOO . was actually spent to feed , and . shelter , and clothe the starving , and the rest expended Heaven' knows how ? You must pay down on the nail . ' Such is virtually the language of the Whig Premier . It is unjust , unmerciful , ungenerous , and unwise ; true , but it is pure Whiffgism ! . ; ' " . /"¦ .::, *' „ ' , - . '"¦'¦' : ' . " ' , "'
Apropos of Reform : venerable Joseph Hume has been talking at Edinburgh on the subject , and the Scotsman , looking down loftily upon the member for Montrose , lectures him and all who want to get at a real suffrage . With a great air of superior wisdom , the journal of modern Athens talks disdainfully of'those * who want to lower the suffrage by merely increasing the numbers . What does this mean ? Can the suffrage be lower than it is at St . Alhan ' s and Harwich ? The Scotsman would
extend—that is the polite word—the suffrage , not lower it . " Convey the wise call it . " How will sturdy Scotland like a dilettante constituency , such as that proposed by the pearl-white Liberal Scotsman ? Whilst gentle Whig organs are tunefully preaching faith in Whig reforms , and household suffrage looms in the horizon ofjj next session , as the reward of our feeble agitations , France awakes from the lethargy of reaction ; and her Prince President , seeing the tide of popularity ebbing away , throws himself once more upon the broad waves of Universal Suffrage . Whether they will bear him into the haven of reelection where he
would be , is another question , ltevision or no revision , reelection or rejection , it matters not . A Democratic assembly elected by Universal Suffrage , will repair the disasters and the disgraces of three wasted yearn . M . Louis Napoleon Bonaparte has a Itold game to play ; he can no longer hesitate between the factions and the People . The present Assembly will vote the abrogation ; what matters one more stultification to tho Party of Order ? Who are
to form the new Ministry ? Any change is better than the last . A Bonapartist Ministry is impracticable , even if the materials exist . Klybean fusions are now scattered to the winds . The two principles of hereditary and national sovereignty are face to face . A broad Ministry of tho People , composed of now men , is the necessity of the moment . There is one name which means initiative , independence , strength of will , clearneaa of purpose , comprohenaivo mcoaur . es , the power to grapple with
alt problems : energetic practical reforms ; fearlesg extirpation of abuses ; reduction of the budget , of the army , of taxation : thorough social reconstruction ; generous and enlightened democracy ; war to pauperism and ignorance ; the only man to conceive and execute this programme is the man of all others the most "impossible "—to the Bourse , to diplomacy , and to the greybeards of political routine . The' only man' capable of building up a true fabric of drder ¥ h ( i ^ liberty is Emile de Girardin . He is neither a formalist ^ nor ( that silliest of parodies ) a classical Republican . He is not a theoretical , but a practical , Socialist .
Religious liberty was a conquest of the Revolution . In the last few days Walter Scott and Robinson Crusoe have been condemned as pernicious and dangerous books by the Bishop of Lucon . He is one of thos ^ men who would clap an extinguisher on the sun , in majorem Dei gloriam . But what is the crime of poor Friday , may be asked ? He learned to readt his Bible ! A grave offence in the sight of Holy Church . Think of this attempt at obscurantism on the very eve of the restoration of universal suffrage !
Russia , and the Diet of Frankfort , have replied to Palmerston ' s present of Mr . Gladstone ' s pamphlets with a severe rebuke for such an impertinent intrusion . Palmerston has done a bold and a liberal act , and can well afford to pocket the affront ! He is such an old offender 1 From Naples comes another voice of wailing , from twenty-one priests , starving and rotting in the dungeons of a Christian King . Their crime ( a rare one among priests ) was a love of freedom . ha Presse has brought a cloud of testimony , to prove how leniently Mr . Gladstone judged the atrocities of the " best of Monarchs . " The important meeting of merchants and persons interested in Eastern trade at the London Tavern , suggests many reflections . It is an event . Anxious as we are for the extension and multiplication of means of transit , and the opening up of new routes for commerce , we Ccinnot witness , without regret , the blind way in which men , generally sagacious , consent to work in the dark . Has it occurred to the leaders of the meetingthat no railway extension on the desert of Suez could compensate to England for the destruction of Turkey P Is it not possible that , in seeking railway extension , they may get , as a net result , Russian extension instead P
Two instances of liravery , neither unpleasing , we chronicle this week . Jules Gerard , the indefatigable African Lion Hunter , had at length killed the old lion who ho shamelessly ran away from him last year . But a far plcasanter picture is that of brave Mrs . Moore on the wreck of tho Owen Glendowor , working at the pumps and sustaining her courage within the very jaws of the aea . Graceful , too , is her hearty gratitude . ^ Yes ; courage and thunkfulnesa are immortal .
