IT is not to be expected that anybody outside of the United States should feel any strong interest about the movements and the fate of parties, ex cept in those rare conjunctures when the national policy, at home and abroad, clearly and indispu tably hangs on the special struggle of the hour. Thus, it is quite natural that in England and France there should have been a somewhat languid reading of the records of Congress, with its con flicts of parties, and its long list of constitutional amendments and other proposals, and the com parative forces by which they were supported. The time has oome however, when a broad light has been suddenly cast on the whole political scene and prospect, and the reconstruction has become as interesting, and quite as important to us, as the rebellion ever was. The Veto Mes sage, and its reception throughout the Republic, Mr. WAWA speech upon it at New York, the PEESIDEIree speech on Wainmoron's birthday (the doctrinal part of it), and the published expo sition of his views, as given in an interview with , Governor Cox, of Ohio, have within a few days rendered the great questions of American policy i so luminous, that whoever chooses may know what to expect as well as to desire. As the darkness and the confusion are cleared away a brighter hope , and a stronger confidence grow up, and we may not only retain our faith that all must end well with • nation which has shown such a capacity of self-government, but begin to see how the conva lescence from a deadly political and moral disorder is likely to issue in political health. There must be drawbacks, and difficulties, and seasons of suf fering ; but the new clearness about the regimen justifies the strongest hope that all these may be passed through safely. The PUBIDENT points out that the proclama tion of the close of the war and the restoration of the Union has not yet been made, and that the existing Freedmen's Bureau must operate for a year from the date of the proclamation, unless the Southern States should give due security for dis charging its office themselves. Already the citi zens, North and South, are beginning to discern the advantages of the continuance of the present Bureau for a certain interval, in preparation for future arrangements. It will be well to have experience of the first free-labour crop, and to see how the system of contracts works, and to observe the temper and the mutual relations into which employers and employed settle down as the months pass on. It is already plain that this process of observation will require time, for the conflict of reports from the South is so great as to render immediate legislation very hazardous. On the one band, the most fearful descriptions of the state of the negroes and their friends are sent to the North; and on the other, there are glowing accounts of the success of the free labour experiment, and of the good humour of the whites and the welfare of the blacks. There is probably • great deal of truth, and a great deal of exaggeration, on both sides ; and however this may be, it is no small advantage to have a year certain, and more if necessary, in which to learn the truth and observe the progress of the new training. The 70,000 children in the schools of the Bureau have a year before them ; and more and more schools undersrivate manage ment are rising up, while the labourers are entrain ing under their industrial contracts, and the em ployers are learning how to manage free labourers. If the parties are wise enough to manage their affairs at the end of the term, well and good. If not, then the Government can prolong the control in such form as may seem best. It certainly is a question, North, South, and at Washing ton, whether the constit➢tional courts may not afford as much protection and as good justice to the freed people as they could obtain, in a very invidious way, from special tribunals which must stand directly in the way of a good understanding and a common interest between the two noes. In this respect, as in every other, it may be a question whether the negroes have not the strongest interest of all in the replacing of Southern society under natural economical laws in the first pleats ; but also under the general laws of the Republic, superintended by Government pro tection till those laws have attained their true working, and only till then.

'Prey do not exactly believe war to be inevitable, but th situation of affairs seems to become more alarming every day—especially since the publication of the ordinance of General Manteuffel in the Duchies. The Neue Frei. Pruee remarks that this ordinance bears not only the signature of the General but also that of the King. This ordinance, which applies to Holstein as well as Schleswig, has produced, says the Austrian Gazette, the worst impression in Vienna, as it cannot ,in the least be justified by the Gastein Convention. The Neue Freie Prelle considers the publication of the ordinance as a taking posassaion of Holstein by Prussia, and this appears to it of such a nature as likely to lead to the commencement of hostilities between the two powers."

PAUL'S CATHEDRAL AND THE CITT ',pertain what boroughs ought to be entranehising and disfranchising proems is justified on the ground of the gross disproportion borne by the electors to the elected in different localities. But the alteration of the suffrage will everywhere make a direct increase in the number of voters ; and the dispro portion complained of will be materially modified. To oppose the bill on the ground that there is no need of reform at all is at least intelligible, but to oppose it simply on the peewit th►t the bill does not contain enough of it is manifestly absurd. If the desiderated schedules were tacked to the measure they could not alter the character of the earlier clause., and everyone knows that the measure which has been introduced is the only one that could by any chance be passed during the present session. If the extension of the suffrage be finally arranged now, the labour of parliament in another simian will be so much the easier of accomplishment. The disinclination to finish a portion of the task at present is excused by a mere idle pretence. The Star enters into an analysis of the &vision on the Church Bates and Oaths Bills with a view of e►timating the chances of the opposition to reform. The result of its analysis and speculations is that they will be a govern ment majority of some thirty for the measure. MB TOPICS. The latest argument of the American Pentane—that, Isamu& es they have abandoned all idea of war, they are entitled to the character of balligments, strikes the rinses as beating all their other absurdities in the prodigious depth of its nonsense. Again ;—they do sot pretend that we have mistaken their purposes or that their designs were ll= than we sesame. They only declare that they might have accomplished the mischief if we had let them elope, and that our isterferenoe was tyranaloal sod usituitilable spot any eoestitutional principles. Hr. Hitehall's grievance is frankly put se conaieting in the Isterterenes et England in the achievement of Irish separation. He leaves one point, however, out of consideration. It is sot imposdble if Irishmen were ruddesly released from the control of the government they might fly to arm, but then the probabi lity is that they would be fighting each other, aed Doe alteeirisg the Eighth garrisons. It is very fortunate for them that shay never were belligerents except in imagina tion, sad that we employed Done hat constitutional weapon in dealing with their folly.

The Poet aahnadverts upon the stratagems by which young men with moderate means, and perhaps exporte r:Wee, are entrapped by wearers, and explains the leading part of the process. Scarcely a day paws without circu lars of a delusive kind being sent to young men belonging to rich families. The intended victims ought to under stand clearly that if they get off by repayment of the sum they have borrowed, with Wisest at a hundred per cent, they may think themselves fortueste. The effect of each transactions is to stimulate preternaturally a propensity to extravagance and thriftlessness, and all other bad qualities which are opposed to swoons in life. The moral consequeness are quite as bad as the pecuniary and materiel results. It is hard to suggest as effectual remedy for this great evil. Sharp maladies require sharp cures. A exert of justice does Dot look with &favourable eye on each transactions, and those who would take all legal means to defeat the illegitimate and fraudulent claims arising out of them would meet with a degree of sympathy and applause from thinking people which would more than counterbalance any exposure that could take place. " ' . • The Herold argues that we ought to be prepared to allow to the French government in the matter of the ex tradition treaty that the counselling, instigating, and planning of homicide is a crime, and that we are not pre pared to hold a shield over pewee of this iotamous character. A colour has been given by repeated acts of our own executive to the shameful notion that we encourage the assasiries of Europe. We shall make a sscrifioe not eaey to estimate it the extradition treaty ceases. L it not worth bringing back at a certain prima? Are we to continue to allow foreigners, under the eyes of authority, to engage themselves in criminal plots, with bloody intentions! We allow the Russian government to prosecute its subjects who forge rouble notes in England, and some applications of that prise:4)le might relieve us now from the embarrassment in which we stand in regard to the Trench Extradition Treaty. There would be no stale, of dishonourable concession in such a course. Eta Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, MAaat 19.

Thus the doubt is not as to the necessity of martial law or the inevitabilities. of a certain amonnt of injust ic e under it ; but whether it weer proclaimed over too large an area, whether it was motioned too loog, end whether it was not exercised with an indiscriminate sad vindic tive severity which is utterly indefensible. Many portloss of the inquiry caned be determined without holmium against each other a great many coasideratioes of time, place, and circarmstaaoss, but upon most of the points submitted to the commissicners we are not without the means of forming an approximate judgment. The Times then premeds to examine carefully thalistaterneets of Mr. Like, at Captaia Ford, and of Mr. Kirkland. It remarks that the little ineident which is mentioned of Mr. Ramsey dragging Mr. Kirkland himself by the throat acrosa the street rumbles us to nubs* the exoitement sad anarchy which must have prevailed as well as any that could be selected. Terror is proverbially the permit of cruelty, and terror is. tosediled to the pitch of frenzy aprons to have reigned supreme in Jamaica, for more than a fortnight thee the massacre. It was far, indeed, from being a groundless panic, bat unless new revelations have yet to be made, it WIN out of proportion to the real danger, and it certainly produced a state of feeling which is fearful to contem plate, dieing the voice of reason, quenching the emotions of pity, sad ooaverting martial law into a ready instrument for the wild injustice of reveoge. The Doily ilex* comperes the confident statement of Governor Eyte as to the alleged disloyalty of the negro population being justified by mo grievances, with the evi dencoe of the attoreeygeneral before the commissioners, in which he gives various reasons for discontent—such as the ',victims of squatters who were in occupation of the land for several years, and the mel-administration of justice in consequesoe of the inferior character of the magis trates. Mr. Jackson, a stipendiary magistrate, spoke of oases where planters had been biassed by their owe interests ; and Mr. Allan Her stated that he had mum to believe that wages had been frequently kept back from the labourer in St. Thomas-in•the-East, when the proprietors were the judges. The Degrees when they felt aggrieved did not appeal any further, he said, on mono% of the expense, the intolerable delays, and the un- certainty of the result. The unpaid magistracy, he added, did not obtain the confident* of the people, while the stipetdi►ry magistrates gave satisfaction. Can we wonder that in such etrunMetences there existed die. affectioe, and mast we not rather wonder that it remained, as all these witnesses describe it, discontent with the laws and their administrators, and never roes Into disloyalty to the sovereign ? The Herald protests against drawing any conclusions from such information as has been heard before the com missioners, which is on a par with what would be said by the ticketof•leave men, cannel paupers, and street boys of London against the police. When the 'videos, is sifted, it is likely enough that I' e case agunst every officer will break down, though tome of them will not escape blame.

The worst ham been heard of the alleged excesses perpetrated by officers of the army and volunteers, and, considering the danger to which the white community was exposed, and the terrible outrages which cdtaracteriaed the !bin of the blacks, the Herald cannot look upon the sum total as very remarkable.

Our Lord himself has warned us, in the chapter that you have just heard, that we can from no judgment whatever oaths mane:ton of this or any other like ealairity with any participle, sin or evil in those on whom the ethamity has faller. Those oto whom the tower of Siloam fell were not sinners above the rest of mankind. The mations of Europe ea whom this cattle pines has fallen are not to be thought on that amount damn above the rest of Europe ; the eountiss of &se ised and Scotland, which have suffered most from this grievous pestilence are not therefore sinners shove the rest of Greet Britain; the individuals on whom it has fellers with greatest severity are not therefore greater sinners than those who have altogether escaped. We are hashed into NUMMI ; we are nisei out of ourselves is the presence of the Almighty ; we are, so to speak, in the hands of a giant, or, rather, let us ay we are in the ever noting arms of our hoarsely Father, to whom we breathe oar sorrows sad our sufferings as children toe father because we cannot help doing so, bemuse the instinct of our hearts calls us to do so, whenever these calamities fall upon as. Yet even this, though it le as overwhelming and myste rious thought, ought not of itself to be a depressing thought. If resignation is the first duty and sentiment of child-like faith, it is not lees the duty and the sentiment of nosily and wholesome knowledge. The coosoionsness that man is but one part of the vast scheme of the universe is one of the many lessons which the great discoveries of modern science ought most powerfully to imprr is upon as, sad the concionsaiss of the vast noknows which spreads around as on every side is the very thought which the greatest of all the sons of science expressed at the end of his loog laborious We, when he said that he was like a child picking up pebbles on the shore of the great mean of truth. Like Josiah, the prophet, we are often tem* I to think that we can us farther than other nes, that we should know better how to manage the ushers@ than he who male it. We may think like him that it is better to die than live in such a world of racer %slaty and darkeess, but the answer to us is the same as it was to him—' Doest thou well to_be angry " The rev. dean proceeded to say that in the mouth of the Christian the words of the text rose above the feeling of mere sub mission and resiguatios.
