'The oixe 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 betwesn men ' oy prejudice " aud one-sided views ; and , by setting aside the distinctions of Religion , Country , and Colour , to treat the whole Human , race aa one brotherhood , having one great object—the free development or our spiritual nature .

¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ w ¦ ¦ ¦ A DMIRA . L DUNDAS , it is now reported , XJL sailed from Ajaccio on the 14 th instant for "NTaples ; and the French Government has put forth a kind of notification in the Moniteur . It is to be supposed that this notification has ' . had tlie assent of our Government ; and if so , it decidedly falls back from the position which our Ministers were supposed to take up when they first announced the demonstration against Naples . The Moniteur carefully connects the present proceedings with those of the Paris Conference on the 8 th of
A . pril . It describes Rome and other Italian states , Greece , and Belgium , as having given satisfaction to the " Western Powers ; while Naples alone has treated their representations with contumely , and has persevered in her repressive form of Government . Hence , it is necessary to withdraw diplomatic relations . But , although it is not less necessary to protect French and English subjects ,
the war ships for that purpose will not he sent into the Bay of Naples , lest they should give encouragement to a rising against the ruling authorities . Such is the substance of the article . If this is a correct view of the course intended by the Western Powers , they are prepared to bully Naples but not to coerce her ; lest under coercion she should be called to account by her subjects .
It is -welL known that , some time back , the Foreign Minister of France was not expected to resume his functions in the Government : lie did resume . It was understood that he had better learned to accommodate himself to the views of the Emperor ; but here we see exactly the same tone and course of conduct in regard to Naples that we witnessed before Count Walewski w cnt for a time into the country . It was understood
that when the Emperor had recovered his health and returned to Paris , there was to be a change of men and administration : there is no change . Wo are far from assuming that the Emperor has altered his opinions ; the conjecture to which we are drawn is , that ho does not find himself strong enough to act without those men who are less intent upon "building up the greatness of France than building up their own fortunes and rank .
softened Ins disposition . He insults a gentleman who is married into the royal family , even striking the man , and thus he provokes a conspiracy amongst his rivals and opponents . But he swaggers about as if confident in his success ; partly , no doubt , because he reckons upon having with him the Queen-Mother and the
French party . Yet Hugelmann , the editor of the French paper in Madrid , is understood to represent vested interests in O'DoxKELii , and is said to have been coquetting with the new reforming party . Meanwhile , Kamos Nakyaez enjoys the favour of the Queen—for the present . The Russians have been defeated by Sefjer Pacha in Circassia , and a wonder is made of the
news . It appears , however , to be nothing more than a return to the normal state of things before the h \ te Avar . The Circassians will probably go on beating the Russians until they exhaust themselves in the process , and Circassia becomes a llussian county . The French note lauds the complaisance of the Pope , because his Holiness has been pleased to promise " clemency and internal reform . " When would Pius IX . ever refuse such laudable requests ? Besides , he has no occasion to be discontented , if he makes concessions he makes
conquests ; our contemporaries report the wonderful Popish arrangements in the ' church of Hurst , under the administration of the Rev . Mr . Cameron . The gentleman ' s parishioners appealed to Bishop WitBEUFORCE , who disapproved of the innovations against the wish of the parish , and appears to have sentenced him to discontinue . Why should the PorE complain ? Again , Geokge
Anthony Denison has turned tlie position of John Bird , Archbishop of Canterbury ; not only has he discovered by his counsel that all the Thirty-nine Articles are not in the statute of Elizabeth , under which he was prosecuted , but he has appealed from the Archbishop to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council , who have to pronounce upon the question of the real presence . Why should the Pope complain ?
'held forth' on Sunday in the concert-room of the Surrey Gardens , where an immense concourse had collected to hear him . Mr . Spukgeon ' s method of treating heretics and sin . is gladiatorial ; it has in it something of the spirit of the prize court ; and a place of amusement , no doubt , had its association for the vast numbers who went to hear on Sunday . The concert-room was overfilled , and some one raised aery of " Fire ! " There was instantly
a chaotic attempt to escape . Neither Spukgkon , nor his friends , nor the policemen , nor the detectives in plain clothes , nor the commencement of a sermon on the text " And the wicked are in . the house of the Lord , " could rally the' fugitives . They rushed forth , shrieking , hollowing , and trampling on each other ; and many were killed or maimed . Such are the effects of preaching by a popular ' low * dissenter ; Why should the Pope be displeased ?
In the political woi-ld all is flatness . The Observer announces that there are to be systematic Cabinet Councils , commencing next month ; there is also to be a deliberate consultation with the parliamentary heads of departments on the measures to be introduced next session . For Ministers arc resolved not to be defeated a ain .
Meanwhile , members have been parading before their constituents . Mr . Disraeli , for example , at an agricultural meeting in Buckinghamshire , said—nothing . Sir Stafford Northcote , has appeai-ed before his constituents at Dudley , whom he lectured on affairs in general , foreign and domestic , after the approved fashion of an intellectual , prudent , and rather unpolitical Peelite .
Xhe Commander-in-Chief has followed up his intentions in reorganizing the army on its reduction , and a Memorandum on the subject has issued from the Horse Guards . Besides the reduction of regiments on the iiew plan ' , there appear to be various new arrangements with reference to the distribution of duties . On the whole , the effect of the Memorandum may be described as indicating a great increase in the attention
lhe extreme anti-Pupal party has caused and shared a horrible calamity . One of the lowest of the ' low , ' in point of theology , was the llev . Mr . Spubgeon ; a Baptist minister usually described as belonging to the Whitfiem ) school . His chapel became so overcrowded that it was necessary to take it d own and rebuild it , and he is meanwhile wandering about in conccrt rooms or other buildings capable of holding his flock . He
required from the senior officers , in diligence and study from the junior ofiicers , in exercise for th < J men , in the orderly keeping of the barracks , and all military establishments . In short , the Duke of Camuridge is really following up his plan of a gradual but thorough reform in the a « ny r ~^\ , Great satisfaction haa been occasioned h js » tl (^ new arrangement respecting the bands , wBi ^ hlihavp " ^ v ' ' ' hitherto been a charge upon the officer ^ without ... . .

^ Nakvaez has scarcely entered Spain , before he is making all , high and low , fuel the vehemence and overbearing character of his temper . His rustication in France , and his " stud y of the archives at Vienna , " do not appear to have
