/ FHE anxiety which has been felt for a week or A two was allayed on . Tuesday , by the birth of a little Princess—the ninth of "the Royal children for ¦ which the British tax-payers will have to provide , the ' fifth ; -of the Royal consorts destined to some German state . This is the most interesting official announcement of the -week .
The six hundred and fifty-three newly-born Members of Parliament can in no respect vie with the members of the Royal Household in political importance , partly because the constituencies have 30 arranged the matter , that , as soon as the Honourable Members have fulfilled their duty of " supporting Lord Paxmerston , " they will completely neutralize each other for any useful purpose . Our dailycontemporaries , indeed , have some of them
attempted to classify the new House ; but everybody feels that the classification is a vain attempt ; and even those who make it explain away their own divisions . The constituencies have exactly fulfilled what the managers of the elections in London contemplated and intended : the * Tory party has lost exactly as much as it was expected to lose ; the future Speaker is already elected , and the divisions are prearranged .
Next to the Princess and the Members , horned cattle succeed in . importance- The Board of Health has published a report by Dr . Green now , intended to explain away the panic created by the proclamation . By the Order in . Council , the Crown hits prohibited the admission of cattle from the Baltic ports ; Mr . G-amgee having previously announced to the public that the disease affecting the cattle of Holstein and the noith and east of Europe , was a typhoid of a very contagious and deadly character . Dr . Gheenuow qualifies this statement . The disease which has been observed in the imported
cattle is " the lung disease j" a species of plcuropneumonia which lias been very frequent in our domestic cattle for fifteen or sixteen years , is but slightly contagious , and is not of very great importance . Dr . Giieeniiow admits that there is a far more virulent and dangerous disease prevalent in the east of Europe ; that the authorities of Poland , Prussia , and Austria , have established a strong cordon mililaire for tlic purpose of excluding the diseased cattle ; but that by some means the infected animals have been suffered to pass the cordon ; and it was the announcement of this fact
which occasioned the royal proclamation . Dr . Gkeenhow ' s explanatory report amounts to ' the assurance that the disease apprehended by Mr . Gamgee has riot yet been imported , but that if the precaution had not been taken in time , it might , and most likely would , have been imported . The explanatory assurance ,: in fuct , confirms the impression that there is a good deal of disease among the domestic meat ; and if the graziers and . butchers have any regard for their own business , they will take prompt steps , by a reform of slaughterhouses and an increased efficiency of inspection , to assure the public that the tainted is separated from the healthy meat .
Another explanation on an official matter is not ; quite so intelligible or so reassuring . We are informed that if the Legislature of Newfoundland objects to the recently negotiated treaty between France and England on the subject of the Newfoundland fisheries , the new treaty between Prance and England will be disallowed . . France having claimed the exclusive right of fishing for a considerable space along the coast of Newfoundland .
to the prejudice of the English colonists , who have always combated the claim , our Government lias recently taken the extraordinary step of eonceding the claim in a formal treaty . The people of Newfoundland are furious ; they arc supported by the people of Nova Scotia , New Brunswick , and Canada ; and they arc to be tranquillized by the explanation , that if the people of Newfoundland do not like the arrangement , their representatives can disallow it . This is a new ¦ method of
remain unabated , while it would flatter the pride of France by the / belief that the great Emperor , " their good Emperor" " takes so much care for their welfare , " had by his power and influence obtained a new guarantee for the possessions of the French Empire , for the comfort of the French people . It is announced that the representative of this country at Madrid , Lord How-den ,, lias been exerting himself , in coin unction with the French Minister ,
to reconcile Spain and Mexico , with a hint that the efforts of the two European Powers are counteracted by the United States , which supports Mexico . We have no . information ; -on . the point , but we are strongly inclined to doubt whether the Government either of President . Pierce or President Buchanan has lent tlic slightest support to Mexico in the mutter . It must be a matter of indifference to the
citizens of the United States whether-Spain enforces her claims upon Mexico or not ; but it will probably require more power than Spain can furnish to coerce Mexico ; and the implied attack upon the United States we ¦ suspect to mean that , under the pretext of protecting Spain against an American ally of the Spanish Republic , France and England arc about to send a fleet to the West Indies . It is
quite natural that if Spain goes to war , she should feel anxious on the subject of Cuba ; but the present Government of the Union has given no just cause for that anxiety . President Buchanan lias declared as a fixed principle of his government that he will not sanction any annexation of territory to the Union , except by the voluntary request from the inhabitants of the territory annexed , or by peaceful and lawful purchase .
making treaties , by Her Majesty ' s Ministers , subject to the approval of a colonial legislature ! Something further has to be explained , —on what grounds it was that Queen Victoria ' s Ministers thought it necessary to interfere ; why the French Government desired the concession at tin ' s particular moment ? We can indeed guess one among other reasons . There is in France at the present day a very considerable deficiency of provisions , —that is one difliculty with which the working classes have
Another diplomatic announcement is that the good offices of France have made some progress in reconciling Austria and Sardinia . Crcdat Baron JtoTiiscnn . D . Even if Austria should be brought over , diplomatically , to relinquish her bullying , she cannot be reconciled with Sardinia . She has shown her teeth ; she has confessed that she intended mischief , if she dared ; and under those circumstances there is only one preliminary which would
to contend . The increased means of the upper classes have contributed to draw a larger share of supplies for those who arc well to do , leaving for the working orders diminished supplies and very much enhanced prices . Now , although the treaty recognition of a fishery which has existed until tlic present day would make no real difference iu the amount offish furnished for French consumption on two days in the week and during Lent , it would give the moral assurance that such a supply would
justify the Government at Turin in lu ^ mg aside its armed position ; it would be thc i *(!! t ^§^^ iM ( lii )^ of the forts on the Ijomba ^' - ^<^ i ^ U ^^ W ^ S and the rccal of a large p ^ i <) tt ? ol >^ j ( i ' A |^ ri-ihu unny from the Lombardo-vSe ^ jJ j | . j ^ l | j ^ ajr 3 protected Italian States .

"Theone Idea which . History exhibits as evermore developing itself into greater distinctness is the Idea of Humanity—the noble endeavour to throvr down all tne barriers erected between men by prejudice and one-sided view 3 ; and , by setting aside thei distinctions of Religion ., Country , and Colour , to treat the whole Human race as one brotherhood , having one great object—the free development of our spiritual nature .
