He also materially aided in estab lishing the Agricultural Society of Piedmont, the bye-laws of which were in great part his work —in fact, his energy was inexhaustible. In the autumn of 1834 he went to Genoa, and thence visited Paris and England : his stay in the latter country, however, was short. At that time he did not understand the language ; but he nevertheless made use of the opportunity to thoroughly study " the great question of pauperism ;" and he pub lished, " at the request of the Prime Minister, an extract from the report of the Commissioners charged by the English Government to inquire into the state of the poor, and to prepare a new law on the subject." At that time, and, indeed, up to 1848, the Court of Turin was governed by the Jesuits, and both political and intellectual freedom were as far as possible annihilated. Indeed, Cavour at that time compared Turin to "an intellectual hell"—" science and intelligence," he said, " are looked upon as inventions of the devil by those who condescend to govern us." It may be imagined, then, how little scope the arena of politics offered him at that period. In 1843 he paid another visit to England l- when he became acquainted with Mr. Davenport, a large landed proprietor of Cheshire, on whose estate he had ample opportunity to study the English system of agriculture, his remarks on which, as expressed in a letter to M. Naville, are extremely sensible, and he also seems to have been greatly struck with the advantages of railroads. On his return he published two articles, one being on the condition of Ireland, and the other on the abolition of the corn laws. In a letter to the writer he said, " I am a great admirer of the English ; I have a sincere sympathy for them, for I consider them as the advanced guard of civilisation. Never theless, I have not the slightest confidence in their politics. When I see them holding out one hand to Metternich, and with the other pushing on the ultra-Radicals in Portugal, Spain, and Greece, I confess I am but little disposed to believe in their political honesty." Thus his admiration of Eng land was not that of a mere partisan, and his re marks on the state of public feeling on the Conti nent with regard to us are worthy of attention. " It must be admitted," he says, " that public opi nion on the Continent is not in general favourable to England. Extreme parties, opposed in every thing else, are agreed in entertaining a violent hatred for that country. The moderate party like her in theory, but in reality they have no sympathy for her. A few individual men who rise superior to the praises of the multitude, and to popular in stinct, alone feel that. esteem and interest for the English nation which is due to one of the greatest nations who has done honour to mankind, who has powerfully contributed to develops the material and moral resources of the w o rld, and whose civilising mission is still far from being ended. Let it not be supposed that this is the feeling of France alone. In that country it may be expressed in louder tones and in a more lively manner ; but substantially it is com mon to all European nations. From St. Petersburg to Madrid, in Germany as in Italy, the enemies of progress, and the partisans of political subversion, look upon England as their most formidable adver sary. The former charge her with being the hot bed of every revolution, the secure refuge, the cita del as it were, of propagandists and levellers. The latter, on the contrary, with more reason perhaps, consider the English aristocracy as the corner-stone of the social edifice of Europe ; and as the greatest obstacle in the way of their democratic views. The hatred which animates extreme parties against England ought to make her popular with interme diate parties, with the friends of moderate reform, and of the gradual and regular progress of mankind; with those, in a word, who are, on principle, equally opposed to sweeping changes in society, and to its remaining stationary. But this is not so. The motives which might induce them to sympathise with England are met by a host of prejudices, re collections, humours, the effect of which is almost always irresistible. I do not pretend to condemn all the causes of this ill feeling ; I simply record them." In 1847 Cavour, in conjunction with several' others, established a newspaper called the .Risor giniento, the organ of the moderate liberal party, and of which he became editor, and as the reform granted by Pius the Ninth at the close of the year threw Italy into a ferment, he at a meeting of the liberal party at Turin, proposed to ask the King for a constitution. This motion was, at the time, rejected ; but a month later Charles Albert, irresistibly impelled by the progress of events, granted it, and to the special commission appointed to draw up the electoral law Cavour belonged. Shortly after this he was elected for Turin, became absorbed in politics, and henceforth his career be longs to the history of Europe—of the world. The brain of Italy he collected, as it were, to a focus the scattered energies of his countrymen, inspired them with confidence, united the party of order with those of progress, and boldly claimed and won for her a place among the nations. Inflexible in pur pose, undaunted by difficulties, indefatigable in exertion, he possessed the talents and energies of a multitude of men—he was in himself a host. Italy for centuries has not produced his like. From chaos he brought forth order ; out of a small State he created a great kingdom. To thoroughly esti mate his character in all its grand proportions, the time is not yet ripe ; but to those who feel interest in the career of not merely an Italian, or of a states man, but of, in the fullest sense of the term, a man, we commend the present work. We envy n o t him who can read parts of it without emotion. It heightens our respect for human nature, and few we think can rise from it without feeling wiser and better. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Repstrar-Ceneres Weekly R e t urn .) It appears from the weekly return of the Regis trar-General that the total number of deaths in London in the week that ended last Saturday was 1,228. The average number for corresponding weeks in ten previous years (after correct i on f or increase of population) is 1,319. The deaths actually registered last week are less by 91 th an the num b er obtained by calculat ion; but it will be observed that the latter is raised above its normal amount by the epidemic cholera of 1854, which at this period of the year had made considerable progress. It may, however, be stated generally that the health of London is at present quite as good as that which its inhabitants usually enjoy in the middle of August. The births of last week exceeded the deaths in the same period by 420. Diarrhoea is on the increase, as is usual at this season of the year. There w ere 116 deaths from it last week, all of which, except 12, occurred amongst infants. Besides these, 12 were referred to cholera, which, with the exception of 3 , occurred to very young children. At 55, Gro ve - street, Regent's park, a letter-carrier, aged 58 years, died of cholera, after a day's illness. A widow, aged 55 years, died at 3, Horse Shoe-buildings, Shoreditch, of English cholera. A woman, aged 42 years, died of "subacute gastritis (8 days), caused by eating roast pork out of season, which acted as an irritant poison." A coal -whipper, aged 65 years, died sud denly from exhaustion, Caused by a hard day's work and want of sufficient nourishment. And a child, the son of a shoebinder, died at 29, Mason street, Kent-road, from "disease of the lungs, acce lerated by want of proper nourish men t an d medical a ttention." Measles, which was fatal in 61 cases, appears to prevail much in Holy well (Shoreditch), Hackney-road sub district, and Spitalfields. Last week the births of 826 boys and 822 girls, in all 1,648 children, were registered in London. 1 In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1852-61 the average number (corrected) was 1,805. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.'778 in. The barometrical reading rose to 30.01 in. on Tues day, and it fell to 29.59 in. on Thursday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 58.7 deg., which is 2.8 degs below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was below the average throughout the week. The lowest night temperature was 47.3 degs. on Sunday. The highest day temperature was 74 deg•. on Tuesday. The range of the thermometer in the week was 26.7 degs. The mean daily range was 17.1 de grees. The difference between the mean dew point temperature and air temperature was 3 1 degs. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 91, complete saturation being represented by 100, which point was actually attained on Saturday. The wind was W.N.W. on the first two days ; it was afterwards in the south-west till Saturday, when it turned to north-east. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 63.9 degs.; the mean of the :lowest was 61.7 degs. The amount of rain measured was nearly an inch, all of which fell on the last three days. LITERATURE. Reminiscences of the Life and Character of Count Cavour. By William De La Rive. Translated from the French by Edward Romilly. Long- man and Co. The work before us is a translation of one which appeared in five successive numbers of the " Bibliothique Universelle of Geneva," and which, written by a relative and intimate friend of Cavour, bears every mark of trust worthiness. Without assuming to be a com plete biography, it nevertheless traces his career from its commencement to its close, conveys a very vivid idea of his character, and is among the most interesting works of the kind that have of late ap peared. At present the writer intimates that a biography perfect in all its details could not be written. "Too many pages must be left in blank which another generation may be entitled to fill up with those secrets which official documents can alone reveal, and which we in the present day must be contented to guess at. Neither can the memory of Cavour be so quickly disengaged from the in fluence of those conflicting passions which were called forth or fomented by himself." But if, as a diplomatist, it is as yet impossible to do full jus tice to his genius, the same objection does not apply to his character as an individual. Of the latter, those about him and his intimate friends were the best judges; to this their testimony is invaluable, and few would seem to have possessed more favour able 'opportunities than the writer of the present volume. Camille Benso de Cavour, born at Turin, August 1, 1810, is described as being, when about three years of age, a " good romping boy ; stout, obstreperous, and always ready for play." At first he seems to have had little taste for study. Indeed, he expressed a horror of it. Never theless, he was destined one day to be come the hardest of workers. "In 1816," says the author, " his parents brought him and his brother to Geneva. They spent some time at Presinge, at my grandfather's. lam tempted to allude to this visit, in consequence of my father having more than once described to me the im pression produced by Camille de Cavour, on his first visit to Presinge. He was then an arch little fellow, with a countenance full of animation, indicative of decision of character; very enter taining in his ways, and with an endless flow of childish frolic and fun. He wore a little red coat, which gave him a droll, and, at the same time, a determined look. On his arrive, he was under a good deal of excitement, and stated to my grandfather that the postmaster at Geneva had given them such execrable horses that he ought to be dismissed. I insist upon his being dismissed,' he repeated again and again. But,' replied my grandfather, ' I cannot dismiss the postmaster; the first Syndic alone has that power. Well,' then, I must have 'an audience of the first Syn dic.' You shall have it to-morrow,' replied my grandfather; and he at once wrote to his friend, M. Schmidtmeyer, then first Syndic, and told him he was going to send him a very amusing 'little man;' and, accordingly, the next day the child appeared at M. S.'s, and was received in due form. With perfect composure he made three profound bows, and then, in a clear voice, pre ferred his complaint, and called for judgment. On his return, as soon as he perceived my grand father, he exclaimed, Well, he will be dismissed.' He was then hardly six years old; his taste for dis missals, therefore, began early." Intended by his father for a soldier he went, at ten years of age, to the Military Academy, and was soon after made a page at the palace—an honour reserved for youths of high birth, but which to the independent spirit of the young Camille seems to have been by no means agreeable, " One day," says the writer, " when I happened to ask him what dress the pages wore, Parbleu! 'he re plied in an excited voice, ' how do you suppose we could have been dressed, except as lacqueys, which we were ?' It made me blush with shame." As page he had been attached to the service of Prince Carig nan, after wards Charles Albert,for whom he always entertained a rooted dislike, which seems to have been mutual. At the Military Academy, however, he distinguished himself, especially in mathematics. " I owe a great deal to mathematics," he said, " it forms the mind, and teaches one to think." Still, he afterwards regretted that his education had not been wider in scope. So marked were his abilities, however, while at the Academy, that when he left it at sixteen, he was made sub-lieutenant of engi neers, although, by the rules of the service, it was not before twenty years of age that an officer's com mission could be obtained ; but an exception was made in his favour, and as sub-lieutenant he served in various garrisons. Some imprudent, or as we may suppose, liberal expressions he made use of while at Genoa during the events of July, 1830, brought him into disgrace, and forced him to resign his commission, and it was now that, in default of other employment, he took to agriculture, and with complete success. "It is right you should know," he says in a letter to M. Naville, "that I have be come an agriculturist for good and all ; it is now my vocation. On my return from England I found my father occupied with public affairs, and, there fore, no longer able to attend to his own ; he suggested that I should take charge of them, and I most readily consented, for when it has been decided to undertake the management of one's own property, unless it is carefully looked after, one's fortune is et stake. These occupations, which I undertook at first out of duty, I now follow from inclination ; by degrees I have acquired a taste for agricultural pursuits, and I could not now give them up without much re gret." It was in 1833 that he undertook the management of Leri, a large and neglected estate which by his energy and sagacity he appears to have brought to the highest degree of productive ness. "At sun rise, he was at his work, inspect ing his cattle sheds, present when the labourers went to their work, and superintending their work during the dog-days under a burning sun ; net satisfied with giving general orders, but providing for the minutest details, alive to all the discoveries of chemistry and mechanical invention, multiplying his experiments, and recording their results with that good sense which never failed him, abandoning one set of experiments and repeating others, upon an immense scale, and with a degree of boldness which frightened his good neighbours, who came to him with fear and trembling for an opinion." To agricultural chemistry, and especially to the subject of manures, he seems to have paid great attention. " Manures," he says, "is the basis of agriculture ; if it cannot be obtained, all effectual progress is at once arrested. It is like building a house with no foundation." And here we cannot help remarking the peculiarly English or practical turn of his mind—a turn altogether exceptional in the Italian aristocracy, who, as a general rule, leave their estates entirely in the hands of their stewards, many of them, into did the estate aand stateh a have tslui,nabove p a u per consequence , jsm . Nor alone absorb all his activity. "At one time he was superintending the clearing of a forest, at another he was unde r taking to supply the Pacha o f E gyp t with 800 merino sheep, w hich after wa r d s he did not know where to get (though he soon found the means to do so), then making canals, introd uc i ng the culti va ti on o f b eet roo t, and projectin g a menu factory of sugar." Moreover, "He established C 0 UN TERFEIT- NOTES - _TY AMERICA. Out of 1,389 banks in the United States, only 253 have escaped the attempts at imitation by one or other of the many species of frauds ; and, out of this 253, at least 143 are not worth counterfeiting ; so that, in round numbers, out of 1,300 bank-notes issued but 100 are not counterfeited. The rule is that the better the bank the more the counterfeits. All the New York City notes are counterfeited ex cept three, and of these two are closing institutions, and one does not issue any notes ! The only State (besides lowa, which has but one bank) whose bank notes are not counterfeited is Florida. The reason is plainly because the genuine notes of the four banks in that State are all of doubtful value. So in all the Seceded States, where the paper currency is much depreciated, counterfeiting is at a low tide. Maryland has only four bank-note issues not coun terfeited out of 33, and of these four one is at a heavy discount. The great State of Massachusetts, with her 182 banks, has only seven whose issues are not counterfeited. And yet Massachusetts is the only State where there is an association for the prevention of counterfeiting. Of the 295 banks in New York State the issues of only 45 are not coun terfeited. After deducting from the list of banks whose issues are not counterfeit the " wild-cat," the " shaky," the closing, the closed, the worthless, those not yet in operation, and those which are new, the list of uncounterfeited bank-notes grows small and (not beautifully) less. The total num ber of kinds of counterfeits in circulation is 5,902, so far as those most interested in keeping the record can determine. How many thousand of each of these kinds, or of many other kinds, are in circulation, is known, of course, only to the origi • nators of the frauds. But the analysis of the different species teaches us a wholesome lesson as to the facility for frauds which our paper money presents to the counter feiter. But a very small portion of our bad bills is composed of "imitations," or bona fide counterfeits of the genuine notes. This is accounted for by the difficulty of producing counterfeits in the same way that the originals are manufactured. Even of the 461 " imitations" out of 5,902 different kinds of fraudulent notes, the great majority is set down as badly done, poorly executed, engraving coarse, &c. The frauds are, however, effected in many other ways—viz., by alterations from one bank to ano ther, or from a lower to a higher denomination ; by spurious notes, well engraved, but unlike genuine except in name, by photography, litho graphy, &c. The alterations number highest on the list, and count up 3,039 varieties out of the total number of 5,902 frauds, or more than half of our bad bills consist of altered notes. One cause of this multiplicity of altered notes is the remarkable similarity of names occurring among the banks in this country. We find 24 Union banks, of which eight are in New York State; 23 city banks, of which four are in New York State ; 23 farmers' banks, of which seven are in New York State. There are eight people's banks, six traders' banks, 14 farmers' and and mechanics' banks, 10 market banks. Then we have mechanics' and manufacturers,' mechanics' and traders,' mechanics' and farmers,' meehanics' and merchants', mechanics' and planters' banks ad libitum, and all those titles transposed. Likewise far mers' and citizens', farmers' and manufacturers', farmers' and merchants', farmers' and mechanics', farmers' and exchange banks, all tending to con fuse by the similarity of title, especially since the name of the State is often placed in an obscure corner of the note, so as not to attract attention, and give a poor bank the benefit of the circulation of a good bank of the same Name. Thus, when a New Yorker sees the Orange County Bank, his mind will naturally revert to our land of milk and butter, and he may take the note, not thinking there is an Orange Bank in New Jersey, and an Orange Bank in Vermont, or perchance an Orange Bank in Washington, D.C. So, in the palmy days of the Washington shinplasters, bogus banks were started with names similar to our best city banks, by which means many citizens «ere swindled, they having supposed, on taking the bills, that they were tak ing city money. The evil was greatly heightened by the fact that the same engravers who engraved the good money engraved the bad, so that in many cases it required the closest scrutiny to distinguish the good from the bad ; so close was the resem blance, in fact, that when some of the bogus banks collapsed, the bad money was easily altered so as to be more like the good by simply changing the name of the State. This is indeed one of the most fruitful sources of altered notes, the bad notes of a popular name being available for frauds of good banks of the same name in other States. The beauti ful and apparently secure style of engraving bank notes generally adopted in this country in reality facilitates counterfeiting, because the small de nominations can be easily erased and larger ones substituted. The practice, which has prevailed to a great extent, of using parts of bank-notes for other purposes, has enabled counterfeiters to obtain possession of denominational figures, which are readily printed into any required spot of a note to be altered. Another aid to alterations of bank-notes is the repeated and frequent use of the same devices on the notes of different banks, and often of different banks of the same name. A counterfeit of one note is a counterfeit of parts of many others, so that the labours of the counterfeiter are greatly simplified. These peculiarities of the present system of bank note engraving were strikingly illustrated in two of the most successful counterfeiting operations ever known. In the first instance a United States Treasury note was actually engraved by the engril° 5 1.0 who d executed the original, who were, without Susp ic i o n on their part, employed by the counterfeiter to o the counterfeit. The same dies or stamps were, i therefore, used to do both the original and counter feit. In the second instance (the great Austrian bank forgery of 1858), soinceiotrtbe unknown t o most respectabl e and capable artists of the y were, executing the counterf e it . themselves, engaged in e o f r e l x n ac b tl o y th tha t t he o s f e th i e ns fi t r a s n t onn ce c sth tefeit e r plan pursued wa s the Bank of England note , mor e than 100 years ago, In all three cases the counterfeiters were not ar tists. Jerr y Cowsden, the m os t success f u l o f From the time o f Vaughan, who was a linendraper, c ounterfeiters, the great er num b er an d down to American most dangerous counterfeits have been produced by men who were not artists. Next in number to the altered notes come the s purious, and it is curious to observe the relations PRICE..... ~..4d. STAMPED ....sd. which these two species of fraud have to each other as compared with their relations in past years. Spurious notes resemble only in name the notes for which they are intended to pass. The counterfeiter relies upon the ignorance of the public as to the appearance of the genuine note. He uses ' rolcpri and bogus bank plates, sometimes carefully altering the states and signatures so as to have the fraud present the semblance of goodness. While only about two-thirds of our bank-note issues were coun terfeited in 1856 about four fifths are counterfeited now. There is a decrease of imitations or real coun terfeits, because the facilities for alterations have increased to such an extent that, instead of 1,119 in 1856, we have 3,039 different kinds in 1862. The spurious notes have also increased from 224 to 1,685 varieties, and the miscellaneous frauds from 142 to 717 varieties. The total increase in the number of banks was only about 72, while the in crease of counterfeiting of all kinds was nearly 3,000 varieties. How many of each variety was issued, as already remarked, is known only to the counterfeiter. Making the moderate estimate of 1,000 dols. of each variety in circulation, we have a total amount of nearly 6,000,000 dols. (and possibly 60,000,000 dols. are afloat) of bad money constantly passing from hand t o h an d, d es t ro ying confidence in the circulating medium, embarrassing trade, and presenting an appalling evidence of moral turpi tude.—New York Times. 71TE BIGHT OF FREE SPEECH VINDI CATED IN NASSACTIUSETTS. We take from the Boston Courier the following full report of tho trial mentioned in our New York correspondent's letter. It will be found extremely interesting, and certainly the speech of the prisoners' counsel was " free" enough : " At the examination of the Gordons for treason in Boston, R. H. Dana, juu., the District Attorney, appeared, and said in substance that there was no statute of the United States under which the Gordons could be held merely for expressions of hostility to the Government, or for receiving intel ligence from the South ; that such things were not actually treason, there being no overt acts proved ; that the line must be drawn somewhere, and that, although the conduct of the Gordons was pretty close up to it, he must enter a none proscqui in the case. " Mr. H. M. Parker replied that, after what had been said by the Attorney, it was his duty to pro test against any disposition of the case, except by a hearing and determination by the magistrate. He said that no one of the five Gordons had been guilty even of improper talk, except Henry, the youngest. He warned those self-constituted committees that the community would not tolerate such inferences as they had been guilty of. He thought the counsel for the defendants ought to have an opportunity to vindicate the character of these men. He had not himself preferred to argue this case, having from the beginning left that to the junior counsel, Mr. Sennot. . "Mr. Dana said that an argument in the case after Government had abandoned it would be use less ; but if anything could be said in vindication of the Gordons it would be quite fair to allow it. " Mr. Sennott was obliged to the District Attor ney for that. He said that, after what the Gor dons had suffered, it would be no advantage to them to argue their case. What they wanted their counsel to do was to vindicate their charac ter, and to expose the meanness of their prose cutors. This he proposed to do now. "He then addressed the Commissioners in a speech, from which we make the following extracts: " THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH. " ' I declare before God that, as I understand that right, I value it more than Ido my life ! And I call this whole country to witness if I have not before now proved the sincerity of this declaration by my actions ! And the right I vindicated at the hazard of my life, before a Southern tyrant, I will not give up, for the sake of my business, to a Yankee sneak. Neither shall the Gordons. Their case is ours. We are tried with them. And in defending them we defend ourselves and country from a gang compared with whom Col. Ledbetter is humane, and General Floyd respectable. Mr. Sumner was once the ad vocate of free speech. He claimed to be almost one of its martyrs ; and in defence of it, or in conse quence of it, he certainly was the victim of a cow ardly assault, inflicted with a ferocity and endured with a meekness unexampled in the annals of cudgelling ! He now changes his opinion, or at least his language. With that felicity of illusion which belongs, among the public writers of Ame rica, to him and to Governor Andrew alone, ho advises his friends to put their ' heels' upon those who differ from them, and who dare to speak out. The advice is given in a letter to the late war meet ing at New York. Is this prosecution an experi ment made upon poor mechanics, by a few small conspirators, in pursuance of an agreement between the principal Thugs at Washington, in order, if it works well, to sacrifice more important victims to the Abolition Kalee ? I do not know. I know that tne gentlemen of the Republican party do not countenance it, and that it will fail here, because, to reach their political opponents, they must cat down their political and personal friends. If free speech is treason here, our excellent Governor would speedily be known as the late unlamented John A. Andrew, for his speech is exceedingly free and easy —quite loose, as you may say. Then, what would become of Mr. Phillips ? Does he speak in favour of the Government ? Has he ever said anything in favour of any Government except that of Hayti ? Did he not lately advise a large and patriotic as sembly not to give a man or a dollar to the Govern ment of the United States ? And did not that patriotic society applaud that liberal suggestion ? Shall we prosecute Mr. Phillips, therefore ? Not with my goodwill. Not without my active resist ance_ I should violate the very first principles of Democracy, which is greater to me than anything r but the Word of God himself, if I did not fight who to Mr. Phillip's right to talk treason to 5339 fool wants to hear him."

WHAT MR. SENNOTT THINKS OF SECRETARY ~~'L SEWARD.. Have we arrived at such a state that no one must find fault with any action or omission of the Government or any member of it, without having treason imputed to him ? Cannot you, Sir ? Can not 1 ? I, for example, have the misfortune to think that Mr. Seward, our present Secretary of State, is not as fit, as a statesman, to index the papers of the late Silas Wright. However little be may be affected by my thoughts, I do think his want of sense—sober ghing-stock of Euz ope. sense—has made him the hushing-stock I think he is a small ward and county politician, who writes like a sophomore and acts like a stock jobber. Every time he s peaks about what will hap pen in 60 days, in 90 days, he puts me i n m i n d o f a kerb-stone broker, chattering over the approaching maturity of a dubious note ! I think such men have been advanced to important places in this countri about as often as they will be, and cannot help re joicing to think that Mr. Seward will probab/9 be the last of the Lilliputians.'

Time and the stupidity of Government have consolidated a hesitating into a hostile people. Yet Mr. Gordon is a traitor if he calls a fool a fool!' " A PICTURE OF A NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY. "'New England to-day is covered with societies, in which the best of men and women conscientiously , but reluctantly, and the worst of men and women, eagerly, and with a devilish delight, perform the part of spies and informers upon each other. To say that such a gigantic system of mutual espionage does not tend to degrade character is simply to say that eavesdropping and tale-bearing are not low and mean occupations, Under its influence, nothing is known of a man's real character or disposition. Habitual watchfulness upon the one side awakens habitual hypocrisy on the other. And it le only when the little saint of Boston expands into the gigantic villain of New Orleans or San Francisco that you can tell how vast a benefit you derived front his emigration. The wickedness looked little here, because we saw but little of it. The enormous pres sure of universal listening and peeping had driven it deep into the innermost fibres of our society. So pressed, it produces Smelling Committees —it elects Hiss Legislatures ; it brings such men as Deacon Palmer to associate, out of fear, with men like Mr. Washburn, whom they receive into their cellars, and dismiss through back doors. Nobody will deny the fact, or its application here, who is not prepared to deny the existence of the Rev. Mr. Kalloch or his church member, Mr. Hayes, who peeked after him, and black mailed him and then exposed him. It is Mr. Hayes's turn to-day. It may be Mr. Kalloch's turn to-morrow. It is Mr- Washburn's now. It may be the Gordons' turn by' and by. But be the turn whose it may, the system of a barbarous age and people applied to the con trol of a civilised mankind awakens the fiercest re sentment. Men have put up with the savagest taskmasters. They have endured the bloodiest tyrants without resistance for many yews. They have submitted to the Kings of Prussia, to the Czars, to the House of Austria, and even to the Turks, But a government of meddling philanthropists they cannot bear. It resembles the government of ver min more than any human despotism —individually vile and odious, but quite insignificant ; when col lected, they they are all-pervading, all-devouring, appalling, loathsome to every sense, and intoler able to the strongest body and the firmest mind!" INTERNATIONAL EXHII3I7ION. One might reasonably have expected that on the occasion of the Great Foresters'Fete at the Crystal Palace the receipts at the Exhibition proper would have sunk to their lowest ebb. Apparently, how ever, it made no manner of difference ; if anything, the attendance was rather higher than is usual on Tuesdays. The total numbers were 54,862, the pay ments being 50,565, the season tickets 4,297. We venture to think that the time is now come when the Council of the l lorticultural Society should fulfil the promise made last year, that at the close of the season, when the building was open for ls., admission to the gardens should be given on pay ment of 3d. The price charged has never yet been lower than 6d., and it is evident from the results that the working classes who visit the Exhibition on shilling days will not pay this sure, especially when they are not allowed to return to the building without repayment. If the price of entrance to the gardens were now reduced to 3d., and re-admission to the building allowed from them, some thousands would gladly avail themselves every day of the op portunity of walking in them; the gardens would form an additional a nd most important auxiliary to the attractions of the Exhibition itself, an d , financially speaking, would yield such a profit to the Horticultural Society as would amply justify an , abandonment of their present lather illiberal policy.
