people , it had closed without wilful injury to any single article exhibited—led to the opening of the museum , and other institutions in Manchester , and was the circumstance ¦ upon which Mr . Hume , in the House of Commons , founded his motion for the opening of tho British Museum . After expressing a wish that this exhibition , though on a . humbler scale , might supply a want to the working classes which they could not attain through the greater and nobler efforts at London , Paris , and Dublin , the president concluded by announcing that the Exhibition was open , and that tho company were at liberty to pass at pleasure through its various departments .

THE EEA . CE OF EUROPE . At all times the best security of peace consists , of course , in the general indisposition , of' statesmen and nations to war . Nations and statesmen at present have many quarrels , which , the statesmen , at least , desire to settle upon the old basis of diplomacy . But there is little confidence anywhere . As , from the Russian war , some dupes of their own desires anticipated a political doomsday , that should bring rulers to judgment , so , from , the Paris Conferences , other easy optimists looked for a universal assimilation of interests between
Powers , courts , and peoples . But the war , which barely determined the relations of Russia with Turkey , and of Turkey with the rest- of Europe , was concluded by a peace which only added to former complications in . the West . The attempt to convert the Conference into a Congress was not more successful than the convulsive outcry by which it was sought to represent the Russian war as a war of revolution . Scarcely had the plenipotentiaries sealed their engagements of eternal : peace and amity , than the several governments began to draw off to their several speculations .
An alarm of war was first heard in England from the other side of the world . But such a war was all but a natural impossibility . Something like instinct convinced the nation that , whatever remained to be done by Bii * tiah fleets and armies , the fleets were not manned , or the armies equipped , to carry out a meaningless quarrel with America . The danger passed , and the public mind was once more turned to Europe , where , because the old principles of monarchy and feudalism are at worlc , the old monarchical and feudal
conflicts are possible . Nevertheless , we are to reduce—some say only to winnow—our military forces ; l > ut if tins step be adopted with any reference to the tranqtiil aspects of the Continent , it seems to us the result of a misoonception . Even in our direct relations with the heavy-armed Powers , there are probabilities of a breach of the eternal amiby . Wo have several causes of misunderstanding with France : —our last naval movement in the Black Sea excited dissent and jealousy ;
wo are not at one with Louis Napoleon on tho affairs of Italy ; we have absolute suspicions of his policy M'ifch respect to Spain ; we cannot join in his implied assent to the Gorman conspiracy which has failed , for a time , in the Swiss Cantons . At any moment , alao , wo may be brought into serious antagonism with the European Governments on the subject of tho Danish and Greek successions . But , allowing these to be remote contingencies , there are some sources of immediate apprehension .
