It was only necessary for him to explode that • short time ago • lever, had bon delivered in that room nun the subject if emigration, 'disk bed 1 d to the appointment of • committee, in order t) *AM aide, the propriety of organising an emigre ion club. The committee had nut several times, and he was now prep ded to submit their report to the meeting.—The chairman thee proceeded to red • voluminous report. It proposed that • society should be sermid, to consist of an unlinittau number .1 member,, and to be cossetted with the Society for the Promotion of Coloalmition ; that the subs...rants ah..uld pay 9d. per we k per share, and ono shilling entry, and that the election id Bestehen fur emigration shoul I take place ter.ry three months, and be divided by a let. It was calculated that thus the society would send out 100 members in tole sears-11r. Ettendierd moved the adoption of the report sad the tornsatioacf • society based on th, resolutions of the cos mints. He entered at mush length into the qw tion of a surplus populati in, costeredieg that to that surplus and the ruinous competition which is eir tailed the present low rate of wags* and enteral distress in the mother country were to be attributed. Be saw from the morns of the trades' union that of 200,00111 winking men in London one-third were in employment; eve-third in only partial employment, panning tit. it and partly dependent on charity ; and the remaining third wholly railing on charity. He then allwied to the rite or wages in our Australian colonies, and to the smell pro portion of human being- to the soil, and concluded by cow trusting the advantages to be dented from properly organised emigration clubs, with the visionary prospects INAI out by the chartists sad their land scheme. The modem wee earned nem. eon , and a oramittee Homed for the parser of tarrying out the views of the club.

We him known twenty people occupying one cellar, so low in the roof, that a man of ordinary stature could hardly stand inn in it. The pris,n imp, mon rec. =- mend that not Ira than 1,000 cubic feet of space should be provided for each priomer, "as being essential to health aa•l rentila•6m;" and yet it frequently happens that thirty human beings will voluntarily lay themselves down to sleep on the floor of a wretched apartment containing only 2,100 cubic feet of air, beinr little more than one•lifteenth part of that allotted in our gaols.—Liverpool lieala of Town.

The following extract from the evidence given by the Right Hon. Sif-ney Herbert, to the committee on navy, army, and ordnance estimates, on the 10th of July last, is important and interesting, and will be found to have • strong bearing on the argument la the second leader of our pooh alio& of this day Mr. Corry. —I believe that theplan of retirement alopted in 1646 was the same in principle, though differing in details, as that proposed by yourself when you were Secretary to the Ad miralty ? It was.—ln your opinion, has the government ob tained that advantage from the plea which you anticipated front it ? Yes; sky expectations of it were very moderate. The evil was • very crying one j and from the extreme age which out flag •fficen had attained, my expectation wee that it would have no effect for seven or eight Imam It has, however had • much more rapid effect. I find, on look ing at the Navy List, that there are now within three peen of their Bag, supposing the ' mortality upon the lit to continae as at present, several °Meer* who are young ow, and some of the very best officers in the service. There are the Captains Martin, the eldest of them being but 46 ; Captain Dundee is 46, Captain Seymour is 45, and Sir Henry blackwoud is 46. There are revers' young officers who have bees moved on about ten years, in fact, through the operation of that system of retire. sent.—How did Captain Martin stead moon the list before the retirement, and how does ke stand upon tie list at presmt ? He was 280 from the top of the I.st ; he is now J 87. But in dismissing the subject of retirement, I would also beg ken tomy that I adopted the present my stem be 1 j cause I found that the feeling in the prelessew and in the House of Commons was so strong against that which would be the legitimate and the proper way of remedying the evil, in my opinion, which was the selection for • beg, under some restrhtion, that we were forted to adopt that se the only alternative.—The effect you think has tees, without having mousse to the compulawy removal of of i.ors from, the flag lit, and by means 01 a voluntary retirement, to advance those young °Shwa, and other offloers in the same proportion ten years nester the flag than they would otherwise have been T—Yes ; and ultimately the retirement will effect a saving, bemuse at times there were diminu tions made Ia the way of limitations of the number in the different ranks, and although there may have been an ex pense at first, yet I think la ten years from the time that the retirentriat was aeespted the expense will have disappeared, and a saving will have eeeemesessi, but at the moment it was • heavy expense.—ls not it prebable looking to the lot rate tf mortality in the Sag list, t hat Cepa Martin will be an admiral is three years ? Yes ; that would bring him to the age at which L and Hews was mode an admiral ; Lord Nelson was an listened younger still. It would be more I:kc the age of our admirals during the war. Chairman.—Did you =Wider the maiden of the navy when you were at the Adiniraity, in reference to the sge of the °Morn ? Yee, I turned my attention • good deal to it.—With • view of ren d ring the service more effective, and at the same time Se ducing toe dead weight of the navy, do you think it wou'd be advisable that there should be • limitation of the number of enuie• is the fist instep.* ? Most certainly one of the raidortuse a of the navy has been, I think, • went of finite uon or at least • want of system. Hoards at Admiralty have acted on, after the other with very little thetem in retertoce to whet I as been brought before them. When Lord Minto was First Lsrd of the Admiralty, he rained very much the ebb, M navel cadets ; perhaps it was carried too tar, an., the result was, that there ewe great complaints tram all ships that they could not carry on the service. I think our board went 1..t0 the opposite extreme, and admitted too many. As our ships are now °Mei red, compared with the army, you will hod y. nag men totradwad at the bottom in such hum b•re th A these is no possibility of observing them afterwards for the rupees of i mplopnent and promotion. It you take a regiment of 1,000 men and a line-of battle chip of 1,000 men, the nisenber ot superfAr officers titu,K much the name, the ~umber s f , oneltess e filter in the ship is about eight more than in the r. glossae, Item the great number of midshipmen and naval cadela.—Do you town ti.at it would he advi•able, fur the purpose of obtaining an rffeciies hooey of iffioirs, that there should be • further list of r, tired end effective of cers created, as there was in former timer ? It is • matter wench, I think, looks more important than it is ; it is more • matter of tag; than any ibiog . I-e. The men witi be thews whether put them upon the one hat or the other. In Facia our e ff.cave list ahout I,io, and there me about 40 nuts, ffective admiral*, be) are 11. a-effective, however, only by prec.iee; there is nothing to oweioeleiy shwa 170111111ornee; they are. very ohm y,,uuser than in. tires:dive admirals. Their only aoqualin- ' cation, which is a very sampan dipisalificatiou with .1 oar them, is, that Irate the copulae list being se large, I they are hot kept In easploymeat. Mr tlusue.—Woy is that rule continued which prevents j the promotion of any aloe, %alas he ha- served • tenant number of years in a lice-of. barle ship if it is lowed to be prejudscisl ? I do not cry thzx it is prejudi.iai ; it is to be regretted that th. re should be so mee y, even of those who are not disquadtivii, WOO hare had se Ma. service. It you .ems to a man who has not commanded • ship at W, ha man obv.ously be salt emantand when he hemmer a floc akar; but a man may have jai commanded his ma years during the thirty-five years he has been a captain, and if that be very far beck when be comes to his leg he has no fresh experience. —How are those men sedated ? The Admiralty select those wham they think will be not it possible tor the Admiralty by that means to select men for promotion who have but small claims on the ground of service, and to Have out ma whose previous service would give them claim for No ; there is no limitation to the power of so rei7tror'iluthe lower ranks, but there is no selection whatever fa the upper noisier the nay.—There is a selection of those who are to command Hoe of-battle ships ? Certainly.— Does not that operate meths.& these who may net pores. immediate inter at at the Admiralty ? That depends upon what is meant by the word " interest." I think you will generally speaking, that the selections made of of to command ships are very load Indeed in referee°, to the service. Yon will nod that generally the man are selected foe the best Looking, for instance, to the list which I read jest now, the young men at t h e t op o f t h e li st, I th i nk all o ffi cers would tell you, are among the best men there are in the service/ and I tblak you will lied that morn el them us so. =llly In empl•iment, or have been very lately.—ls not there a risk of keels% outs number, who, from thiir pre viuus make ought t o be e . playe d? Undoubtedly. Oar halt-pay list is ro large, that if you were .o commission every ship in the navy you would leave out some dearth= men.— Is not that list made large by promoting more officers than you want? Yes, by admitting So matey info the service at the kWh., that you ore obliged to promote a treater number afterwards teas are necereary for the public *invite.— What suggestion would yea offer to_prevent the continuation of that gnat excess of ~fingers? The suggestion I would make fs this—ot course, as • civilian, I must speak with great deference en the 'entice, but I should say, from what naval officers have told me, that it would be possible so to officer the stops as to diminish the number of subaltern officers, and to de part of the work which is now performed by them by the creation of a superior class of warrant officers, who would take some of their duty.—Are you ewers that there is no other service is the country in which there are so many half-pay officers la proportion as there are in the navy ? The nisuilier of commissioned officers in the wavy ss 3,948; in the army it is 10,693. Wbat number of those are employed ? In the army the number is 6,277, leaving about 4,000 unemployed. —What number are employed in the navy ? Ido not know the number actually afloat. Sir J. Grab on.—You have been Secretary at War as well al Secretary to the Admiralty ? t have.—You have had, therefore =opportunity of tempering the suite of the half . y and therefor, non-effective lists of the two services ? Yee.— Chat is the view yon take of the comparative efficiency in ear of need of three two baltpay li sts, the nay half pay het and the army half-pay list? They stood upon perfectly different grounds; the system of promotion in the army is entirely upon the effective list. No promotioa can take place =less there Is a use tney la the regiment ; but in the navy the ships are paid off, and there being no permanent biros employed, the men are promoted from one reek en ILA-pay to a higher lank on haltpay. Then %aim, I must say in re spect to the army, the amount of promotion is very much larger is the army, though the reductions in the dead weight have been greater. The army theme las main. ain an enormous retirement out of their own pocket by tee system of purchase. Oid men ate bou4ht out by young men, end there is a constant stream going through the army which has prevented their ruffering from the evils which afflict the navy.—ls there anything in the army which is in constant operation, in addition to the brevet promotions, similar to the rule of one in three in the navy t Yes, the men ore promoted on the rule of one in three, but there is this difference to begin wish : in the army the three man dee are three death vacancies, and three death nand, s only; but in the navy, practically, it is somethiug very muck like one is two, because not only one death is coasted as causing a vacancy, but the promotion of some one else to • superior rasa. 1, 27 post-aptains die nine commanders an made captains, and for the nine cm menders who are made captains three lieutenauts would be made commanders, and fur the three lieutenants made am- maniere one mate would be mad* a lieutenant—The rule in the army of there being no counting of vacancies except by death is strictly one in Ora, bat the rule in the navy, which is nominally one in three, is mach MAO approaching to a mile of one in two ? It is very nearly one in two.— ' You have stated that you us aware that by the retired het, as now established, 160 admirals have been St. d so the number permanently to be kept up ? Yes.—And you have said that 40 of those are inefficient ? They I ate non-effective ; they are no awe inefficient, very I often, than those on the active list. They are throes officers who, no: having served six years in a line ' of-battle ship, are not elig ible according to the males.— one Whenever of those l , whether nominally effective or nominally yellow, or Ineffective, dies. under the present rule a post-captain ls promoted ? Yee.—Do you think, with re &rotes to the present state of the service, considering that at the beginning of the war in 1792 there were not 60 ad mirals, it can be right to keep up, as • permanent establish. seat 160 admirals, when this inefficient portion shall nave dial off ? I think if you could somata the two lots *gain you amid effect • better system. By keeping up the admirals' list to 100, and letting the others go off Ito the retired list, you might have a better eye. tem of promotion than by indiscriminately putting active men into vacancies is the inactive liat—Yon put 1110 active I and efficient man on the list, upon the death of an inefficient admiral? Yes.—Do you think that a reasonable arrange ment ? No L no not —Do you think that some such arrange ment as th is would be reasonable, that the number should be reamed gradually, from 160 say to 100, by way of illustratioa, and teat instead of promotion taking place as now upon the death of every =aural, the rule 01 one in three should be continued to the admirals' list, and that 1 there should be only one promotion from the post captains' list upon the death of three admirals till it was reduced to a loose number ? That I think would be a fair arrangement, and would give about the same force of • flaunt admirals as at present. In order to give efficien ty to the order in council lately pasted, which resumes to the crown the right of selection, not by seniority, what would you say to the adoption of this rule, that upon every three promotions the crown should select one, and that the two others should obtain promotion by seniority ? I have always been a great advocate for that system, which existed formerly. I have always thought that comparing the French system and ours, theirs was the more rational system. They take by a seniority in the lower ranks, when in time el pease men having but little opportu nity of distinguisuing themselves they cannot know much about them ,• but whom sea hr pasted through all the grades, sad hia professional sierwster is thoroughly 'stab eid, they then use selsesion, and take the beet men only to promotion to the flag. We femme that—we select men when we know very little about them, and take them by se niority when ire know the difference between them. But I am bound to say that, ir. ay experience at the Admiralty, I have hardly ever found naval offii An to have agreed with me la that opinion.— Considering the feeling of the profession, would you think it unressocable that • reduction of promotion by seniority from the amine' list to the admir list should take place is the proportion which I have mentioned, that two should still retain their sight of promotion by seniority, end that the crown should exercise • power el pr motion to the ex-1 tent oleos In three ? I think It would very greedy =crow the efficiency of the 'swim—And coupled with the re ducible of toe list to 100, it would be • saving to the public ? I do not know that it would be a saving, Weans, those yellow admirals must exist somewhere.—You keep the retired list open to them to go on ? I depot think, than- Malty considered, it would make much diffeeenee. With re armee to the efficient admirals' lot, it would nuke that story efficient. . - _ kr.ll;U;.—Were you at the Admiralty when the lea establishment of the edm.rals' list took p ace? Yee; wee then during all the dieetwaions upon the enbieot.— Oa what principle we that establishment formed ? We looked beek at the number of admirals who bad been main. tamed el different periods. Up to a late period in the last century the number had beta mush_ lam it grew up daring the war to 240. Of lets pan we Saud it had been about 170, and we took 20 leas team that.—Upon ?lain We lOW blishasent wee no attectiou paid to the number of admirals likely to be employed ? Yee ; mad tat of which list persons wouldbe nista by seniority, wahout reference to qualifica tion or to physical ability, Wag very old men ; tut the list se arranged would probably give us • number fit fer employ meat upon the different etatiose.—What was the number ia usual employment at that time? I forget the nut number.— Were the promotions made with reference to the number likely to be wasted, or were they mule be cause in former times a certain number having been kept in the tialtpay list, you thought it right to continue that Lum ber? It was made with • view to have &list which would be likely to yiel.l a sufficient number of effective men for the waits of the service at the different stations. We were not guided alone by the number which bad been maintained of ia:e years, because we reduced the number. Ido trA think the» was at any time so few as 150 Una the y ~ ar 1800 nil. air J. Graharns—lf you were told that in the yc,..c 1795 there wire only 114 admirals, licluding 27 retired admirals, would you think that 100 wee an unreasonably small number now I It mug h tetullected that ►t that time the whole number of officers in the navy was much less, and of count.- It bore a proporion to the other tanks, but I quite agree that 100 effective admirals would be amply sufficient. Mr. Corry.—lf the principle of the promot on of one cap tain to a fl it on every three TlCalltiPS were to be had venom. to tic the dig hot was reduced to 100 would not that in the intermedi►te tim, cause such a stagnation upon promotions from the cap- sins' list as to neutralise the effects of the retire ment? Idunotthinkto. All which is proposed hat the 'the tire admirals' jut, which is now 160, should Income 100, anu that tee relied stenirels should go upon the retired in. stead of the effective list. If you moved the non effective off the list now, tea 'unmake would pro tice three ao pointmente.—Your newer bad reiterence to the removal of the non-effective admiral. bo are now upon the asse t de to the retir. d Vet ? Yas.-1f that removal did not take place would not the redaction of pr-motion to the rule of One appointment for every three vseanciee hare the effect I have referred to ?

The police officers from Clonmel, Cashel, and Bailin garry, together with the authorities of the Crown office and the witnes es to be examined on the com.ng trials, were at Kilmainham on Friday and Saturday, whea the depositions of the witnesses were reed over to them, and were read again in the pre sence of Mr. Smith O'Brien. This formality, it would seem, is indispensable in cases of treason, when the witnesses are to be examined to overt acts, wherein the accused may have been engaged personally. Several of the witnesses identified Mr. O'Brien. The state prisoners on trial at the commission will probably be transmitted to the south before the close of the ensuing week. • The sentence on the soldier of tle Athlone garrison found guilty of having cursed the Queen and cheered I fur repeal, is seven years' transpert.tion—a warning to red-coated sympathisers. The weather is very fine to-day, and as we had a smart frost last night it will probably continue so for some days. The accounts from the - country this morning speak in favourable terms of the pro gress of harvesting, bat they concur universally in lamenting the destruction of the watt) crop. The disease is progressing, it would seem, in every county. An accident occurred to the Anglia, one of the Holyhead liners, soon after starting on Saturday evening, and she was obliged to put back into Holy head harbour. The Cawdor immediately took her place, and brought the passengers and baggage to Kingstown. The guards of the mail coaches robbed at Abbey , feale have, after a consideration of tho circumstances by the authorities, been restored. A Galway paper states that the " Most extensive estate in Ireland is about to change hands." This can only refer to the estate of M r . M art i n , o f Gal way, which in,„aurface extent may bo considered a principality, though otherwise of sufficiently limited value. The encumbrances thereon are' said to be enormous, and.the statement made is that the owner is to have 60,0001. tor his interest—the purchaser, Mr. Wentworth Beaumont, assuming all liabilitiv a. It is difficult to believe the facts we find from time to time recorded regarding some poor law unions in this countiy ; and yet, when similar facts reach oar ears from various quarter., it is not easy to reject them. I was confidently menred the other day tht one of the principal graziers of 'Uncommon, who is about to break up his establishment, has been brought to this determination by the onerousness of the po. r rate. All his life Lis gentleman and his class hare found that they could manage many thou sand acres of land in sheep pastures and bullock farms with the aid perhaps of not half a dozen men, the re maining peasant population burrowing in the bogs. Under the poor law he finds that those people of whom no account was had have claims upon him which the law on their behalf insists shall be fa:filled, and sot caring to adapt himself to new circumstances, or, perhaps, not well knowing how to do so, he has formed the resolution of giving up that which has hitherto been the occupation of his life. He will not be relieved of poor rates by this means, for the land will remain. If he shall become an absentee, as he probably will, the rates will be increased to some ex tent. But ho will avoid much unpleasantness, which a home residence would idNolve. Now, if this gen tleman turned some of hie pastures into corn-fields he would become an employer of labour, and thereby lighten the rates, besides cultivating to a profit. At the same time he might drain his land, subsoillt, or do a score of other things to diminish pauperism and advance his own interests. Yet, it appear., he had rather ingloriously surrender a large portion of his property without such efforts to prevent the sacrifice. In other places "extermination; as it is termed— evictions—seem to have become even a mania. I have heard myself the names of landlords in the west of Ireland who would now permit the occupation of fermi, whence the late tenants have been evicted, by any parties who would be able to till tt e soil and pay the poor rate. They hare themselves no capital, and without it they cannot cultivate themselves their own lands which lie idle. How they hone to work on I cannot imagine. Pos sibly they hope the paupers will die off ; more probably that government will undertake the employment or maintenance, or transplantation of the proportion they regard as ;edundant. In the union of Kilrash, whore we have official knowledge that 1,000 houses have been thrown down, I find it stated to-day, in a Limerick paper, that one gentleman will have to pay this year 7,0001. in poor rates. I should be curious to know how much this gentleman expends in labour. And the peop's do not manifest any indis position to labour, but the contrary. By and by ac customed to pauperism and the workhouse, it will probable be difficult to withdraw the able-bodied from the workhouse and its drowsy inactivity. At present, in many parts of Clare, and even adjacent to the city of Limerick, the able-bodied labourers engage with the farmers for their board without wages. Some get 2d. per day " for tobacco." It will form one of the most remarkable features and be accounted one of the most striking virtues in' Lord Clarendon's administration of Ireland that, amid the strife of party, the din of insurrection, he has not been unmindful of the material improvement of the country. He has just given another evidence of hie energy in this direction. Finding that the potato cropwill again deceive the hopes of the farmer, his excellency has written to the Royal Agriculturai Society, impressing upon them the necessity, through every agent and every local channel, of advising the people to plant store turnips on the stubble land and potato ground, thus providing for a supply of food in spying, when certainly, all accounts coucur, we shall have but little if any even of a deteriorated potato crop remaining. On Friday a deputation of noblemen and gentle men connected with Galway waited on Lord John Rummell, by appointment, at the Viceregal-lodge, to represent to his lordship the miserable condition of the people of that county, the destitution which the loss of the potato crop will necessarily entail—to urge upon the first minister of the crown the necessity of extending government aid by loans for the non strustion of public works of a reproductive nature; and they especially pointed out the advantage of a railway to Galway, as calculated to promote Lot only local employment, but the advantage of the empire, move especially if a packet station should be fixed at Galway, fur which the deputation contended it was better adapted than any port on the west or south west coast of Ireland.

The soldiers from the camp at Turtulla are said to present a worn and fatigued appearance, and they state that they never had in any foreign station, even in time of war, more harassing duty. For several weeks, night and day, they were obliged to be ready at a moment's notice. Lord George Bentinck has written, it appears, more than one letter respecting his assumed visit to Ireland. Some correspondent here, who says he is a repealer, asks Lord George, should he come hither, to visit " the Liberty," formerly a s •at of Irish manu facture, and offers to be hie eitceonc% Upon this theme Lord George descants. Ile says it is not repeal Ireland wants, and he intimates that repeal would be more injurious to Ireland than to England. He reads his correspondent a lecture on the conduct of the Irish members, attributing to them the poverty to which his correspondent &decry' : fin, says Lord George, "they agreed, to the number of 60, upon &Tues day to vote for my proposition, which would give 16 millions of English gold at 31 78.61 per cent. to be expended on Irian improvement, and eu the following Thursday a majority of them voted against my motion, only 28 remaining with me." From these premises, or rather from this premise, Lord George concludes: It is no' repeal of the union that Ireland wants ; she wants men to represent her, who, understanding her materiel and substantial interests, are able and willing to promote and maintain them, and will not, on the one nand, to gun the shoats of the mob, direct public and parliame tary attention to phantom reforms that have no substantial virtue in thew, er, on the other hand, sell their votes to win the tuArr, or may be something more valuable in the gilt of the minister of the day.

LEIOII PEERAGE.—At Warwick, yesterday, Mr. W. P.

An application rad previously been made to Mr. Seymour, a coroner acting in another division of the county, but he refused to interfere, Stone leiglt Abbey being out of hie district.

For tour thousand years were the other elements of society seething in the crucible, waiting for the great German element, which was tO take all others up into itself, and by its intimate com mixture with the whole, form a mass out of which the perfect image of society could be modelled. The German may well be haughty. The Durschen may i well sing of the Rhine, end fancy that they are the I representatives of the whole world. When we are sick of the exaggerations of some Frenchmen— when we are tired of the twaddle about the great Caucasian race which we are told is silently deve -1 loping in the purlieus of Monmouth-street those powers which will enable it to grasp at universal do minion—we may turn to the races of the north, and, tracing their career through the plain of history, in dulge in a spectacle tar more elevated than that afford ed by the antics of vanity, or the windings of psra dor. The mighty German race was sleeping in the midst of vast and impenetrable forests, while other races came into being, into development, and fell into decay, apparently for the sole purpose of leaving be hind something for the dormant race to inherit, when it awoke from its sleep and came forward to run the race of civilisation. For this heir of time was Syria entrusted with the possession and the cul!ure of the true idea of the Deity—Greece was endowed with the gift of beauty and the perception of beauty—Rome was fated to appear as the exponent of the faculty of stern and stable, though despotic, government. It is remarkable how small a portion of the world was oo cupied in elaborating all those ideas which now form the lifeblood of society, in the earlier age. of history. With the exception of the occasional formation of a colossal power in Asia which was so , complished by the accident of a few ready materials of empire lying at ha: d, and a great man being near to take them up, and which fell to pieces as suddculy as it was concocted, the history of the world ;5 con owned principally with the nations around the Medi terranean. fwe take up a ?dere:does chart, and leaving Palatine, Greece, and Rome untouched, cover 1 Egypt with a neutral tint ; if we hide the *had of the remainder of the land under a coating of black, we shall see the portions of the world which appear to hays worked to prepare it fur its future pas More. And yet enormous portions under the black coating were swarming with lite. Myriads upon myriada of the men of nature were exercising their natural facul ties, were being born, living, and dying while the spiritual ideas which were to be the heritage of their descendant., WM being worked out. 'rhea when the old world had done its mission, and was shattered into fragments too small for separate empire, but not top small to form the material of empire, the mysterious north poured down its millions upon the couutrics whose national lite had burned out, and seised upon the neglected treasures of civilisation. A history of Germany ought to sketch so much of the history of the world as to show, in a compreten sive summary, what had been done for civilisation before the breaking up of all the old forma—t • show how impossible it was that the old forms should carry on the destinies of the world any further, and that the descent of the Germane, who had been :ffnuriabing n yt'utb fabliau) in their eternal forest., way not a mere fact, but a pro- vidential necessity.
