By F. B. COURTENAY, And formerly Surgeon to the Metropoliton_lnftrmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This Work is the production of ft surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra, The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—:,iledica .

AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.—The "Times," the "Lancet," and other leading journals have been lately canvassing, the social considerations in- V&lved in " the amount of death and disease caused by vice." some interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the inquiry ; but it would greatly add to their value if they in cluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and, the prevention of that SPECIAL VICE, which wars more than any other against the welfare of society—destroying the happi ness and d sappointing the objects of matrimony, order mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering and shortening the lives of its victims, and spreading desola tion through families. - - " The essential particulars relating to th's great social evil (the besetting snare of inexperienced youth and the curse of maturity), together with ample instructions for removing its effects, and recovering health, vigour, and all the ennobling privileges of our being, are contained in Dr. LA'MERT'S "SELF'-PRESS RVATION," a Treatise on Nervous and Physical Debility, of which the 90th Edition has Just been pubished by Mann and Co., 39.

Blackbird, Tubal Cain, and Acco got well off in front,and made the running to the distance, a here Dunoon joined them, the four coming on abreast until reaching the half distance, where the favourite compounded. From this point Acco and Tubal Cain raced in head and head to within half a dozen strides of the chair, where Acco got her head in front, and won a fine race by a head ; Dunoon was four lengths in the rear of Tubal Cain ; Blackbird close up, fourth; Freestone and Barchettina fifth and sixth ; Swindler last.

Betting —8 to 3 on Flirtation, 7 to 1 agst Blackbird, 10 to 1 agst Gibraltar and Rheebus. Rhcebus and Flirtation alternately led for the first mile and a half, when Blackbird took up the running, and car ried it on down the back stretch to the bottom turn, where Cowslip made a spurt, and led for a couple of hundred yards. On rounding the bottom turn, the lot, with the exception of Flirtation and Gibraltar, were beaten, these two having the finish to themselves. Flirtation, after a good race, won easily by three quartets of a length ; Rhcebus was a bad third, and Cowslip fourth. Neither of the others passed the post.

TUE DISPUTED RACE ON WEDNESDAT.—The objection raised by J. Osborne, jun., against Mr. Hind's Lady Staf ford, who came in first for the Sapling Stakes, on the ground that eho only carried Bst 41b, instead of Bst 71b—it being stated that, according to the original conditions, the latter was the proper weight—was brought before Sir IL de Trafford, E. Buckley, Esq. (stewards), and Alderman Copeland, yesterday afternoon, when it was decided that Mr. Weatherby should be written to, to ascertain whether the weights which appeared in the Racing Calendar were those furnished to him by the Race Committee. If so, there is little doubt but that Lady Stafford will be disqualified, and the stakes awarded to Mr. Oeborne's Lorette. LORD CLIIPDEN.—This horse, which was disposed of a short time ago, for £4,500, with a contingency of £l,OOO should he win the next Derby, has been resold for £6,500, and a contingency of £2,000 in the event of his winning that great race. PHOTOGRAPHIC WONDERS.--It is a small matter to reduce a photograph to invisibility. The little square, dark patch, which for aught the eye can distinguish, is an accidental blot, becomes under a sufficiently high magnifying power the first page of the Tunes, on which may be read that Hewitt Bernard, formerly of Jamaica, may hear of something to his advantage by applying to certain persons in London, and that W. B. had better return home, if he does not wish unpleasant consequences to result from his absence, in addition to a great deal of other information of a miscellaneous character. This other little blot, which would be cc vexed by one of the silver pennies which Her Majesty distributes yearly among the recipients of Queen Anne's Bounty, is in reality a cluster of sixteen portraits, and this other tiny speck on the object-glass of a model telescope scarcely an inch in length, when held up to the light, becomes a perfect representation of the head and shoulders of the individual to whose watchchain it is at tached. Such minute photographs as these cannot of oourse be reproduced on a steel plate by chemical engraving, but som ething very c l ose l y approac hi ng themmay. I have a piece of paper th ree inches in length, and half an inch less in breadth, which is a proof from a steel plate chemically en graved b y Mr, F ox Talbot, the only instrument wh i ch h e used in its producti on b eing a camel ' s- h a i r penc il. O n thi s piece of paper are the principal portions of 22 pictures, and among the smal est of them is an almost entire copy of the large .. painting of " The Last SupJer," by Leonardo da Vinci, the . iace of the Saviour,. especially, being a perfect portrait, The rest of the engraving includes copies of famous paintings of - , kadonnas, and other sub. ,10001—Once co Wok.

Rain fell in torrents throughout the day, and although he racing ardour of the most determined followers of the sport might have been damped thereby, still the attend- ante of lovers of the national pastime was large. The racing was good, and one great essential to the conduct of sport, punctuality, was observed to the letter, Essex seems to have had a fillip given to its racing instincts, in asmuch as it is proposed to commence the racing season there with a Spring Meeting, under the auspices of the Chelmsford Race Stand Company (Limited), with a capital of £2,000, in 400 shares of X.. 5 each. The (aces of the com pany are to be at Chelmsford, and the architect is the well-known Judge, Mr. J. P. Clark, of Newmarket.

THE FLOOD IN THE FENS. ABANDONMENT OF THE PANELLING. LYNN, THURSDAY NIGHT. At length Mr. Haw . lcshaw's new and favourite plan of making a coffer dam, by means of panels, has been abandoned, and the old-fashioned but more substantial plan of piling is to be resorted to. The greatest alarm has now taken possession of the pub lic mind, and the greatest fears are expressed that the whole of the constructed dam will be carried away before the tides begin to slack. That this fear is not altogether without foundation I am ready to believe, from the very insecure state of the " shores." By shores Ido not mean the sides of the cut, but the piles that stretch from the back to the front walling of the dam, and which are ex pected to support the dam against the force of the tide. These shores consist of deals from 50 to 70 feet long; and, though they are of this extraordi nary length, there is no support for them except at the two ends, and, not being exactly straight, when there is a heavy pressure on them by the tide, they may be seen to shake, vibrate, and bend, and it is feared that they will snap—and,should that be so, nothing can preserve the dam from certain destruc tion. Yesterday afternoon the steam engine, which has been lying on the bank useless for the last fort. night, was brought into requisition, steam being got up, and its assistance evoked to enable them to draw the broken piles. These efforts were ineffec tual. The panels are all to be ..drawn, and sheet piling to be drawn down from both sides of the cut. There is always a fall of five feet of water on one side of the coffer dam. When the t ide is flowing the fall is of course on the upper side, and when the tide is ebbing the fall is on the lower or sea side. The result of this is, that two very deep holes have been scoured at the foot of the dam, and these have, to a certain extent, loosened the foun dation of the piles. It does seem almost impossible that any earth, either loose or in sacks, will be able to stop near the dam until these holes are filled up. Today the Middle-Level Commissioners visited the work and held a meeting at the office, the chairman, t o ha v e M b r e . e E n . a F e e o l lnofwe conference between the , M.P., p res idin g . There Middle- Level Commissioners and the special committees of the several bodies, but that they learned what the demand of the local bodies were to be, and deter mined not to entertain such demand s . The fears as to the East side being doomed are to some extent removed, on account of an understand ing which we believe has been given, that sooner than the waters should go over on to Magdalen Fen, they would cut another hole in the West bank. This plan would, of course, be satisfactory to the Magdalen Fen people, but the result would be that Islington if not Filney would be also laid under water. The Mayor of Lynn was making arrangements to convene a public meeting for the purpose of in augurating a public subscription for the small farmers and occupiers who are sufferers by the in undation. Lord Leicester, the lord lieutenant of the county, would have presided but had been compelled to leave England for Sweden. Several subscriptions have already been received by his w ors hip. W e do not see how the raising of a subscription could affect the liabilities of the Middle-Level Commis sioners to pay compensation. own credit, and to that of other organs of public opinion, that among all the temptations of this un natural struggle you should have so persistently refrained from giving full rein to the current of popular opinion, and should have so systematically moderated the expression of what you must have been well aware was the national sentiment. It has been a somewhat hard trial to proud and free England to stifle her natural feelings, and in stif- ling them to see her children starve, out of defer ence to the unreasoning petulance of a nation sprung from herself, which has systematically been meeting our greatest sacrifices with vituperative ingratitude. But we made those sacrifices and we surrendered our cherished national pride from love of peace and a keen sensitiveness of honour. There is a point, how ever, in the intercourse of nations where the love of peace degenerates into poltroonery, and the sensi tive feelin g of hononr into self-injurious scrupulosity. I do not at all say that we have reached that point ; but a little more delay may bring us into dangerous proximity to it. Duty and policy alike combine to show to England and to France the safest and the noblest way. Tens of thousands here are pining to see the day which shall dawn upon the first great step towards allaying the frightful passions of the combatants, restoring peace to a continent, and giving free course to the indications of nature and of Providence. Of course—we all know it, and you have stated it well—the North will receive the pro posal with an outburst of well-affected indignation. So it treated the demand to•give up the Southern Commissioners, and yet they were surrendered. What took place in December, 1861, may easily be repeated in the summer of 1862. At all events, the trial should be made, or Europe, by its silence, will be drifting into complicity with the horrors of the war. Why, then, do people hesitate to speak out, when they have sc thoroughly made up their minds ? A little pressure from without is all that is needed, and then I believe that the Government would not be chary in taking a course which they must know to be just and feel to be popular. THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF AMERICA. PRICE ..4d. STAMPED ....sd. Atlantic to buy up Federal securities will probably for the moment prove amply sufficient to allay all alarm. Meanwhile, another splendid season in America and a bad one in Europe may postpone the final crash and cause universal boastings at the failure of the envious predictions of British reason ers We mast, therefore, while we are waiting justifica tion by facts, simply be content to act with pi udencc in our own affairs, and to submit to any amount of possible contumely for venturing an opinion that there are such things as physical laws, which even in America cannot with impunity be permanently disregat ded. HANDEL FESTIVAL. t 4A ?-_ vc L, b•ta* `.4 AN INTERVIEW WITH THE MORTAJYA CHILD. The Siecle of yesterday contains a letter from Rome, of the 7th, in which the writer describes the particulars of an interview which he has had with the Mortara child, or rather with his tutor, for nearly an hour. The writer had heard that the unfortunate child was at a particular convent in the city, where once a week he appears as one of the choristers at the mass, and with some ingenuity managed to get admission into the cloister where the child, with five or six others, was taking exercise after the service. The ether children were dressed in white, the little Mortara in a black cassock. He cic.cribes the child, whoisten years and four:months ' old, as thnid, bashful, and almost melancholy, and having quite the Jewich cast of features. The writer contrived to get into conversation with the tutor on the subject of r; fmcoe on the wall, and being mistaken for an Ita;au,soon succeeded in turning the conversation on the unpils. "Who," said I, "is that child siting there upon the edge of the well p" " Oh, you have oitcrt heard of him ; it is the little Jew Mortara, taptie.ed at Bologna." "Indeed !" "Come here, Vgar.'' The child rose slowly, took off his cap, and stood before us with Lis eyes on the ground. "Has he ' good health ?" " Excellent, although a little deli cate. In the three years that he has been here ho has only had one slight illness." "He has a low forehead—that is not a priori a sign of intelli gence." "Nevertheless he is very intelligent; he learns all that he likes, and especially Latin, for which he seems to have a marked inclination." I did not wish to play in anything the part of a false brot h er , therefore I limited myself to putting one question to the child, while drawing him towards me and taking him by the hands. " Well," said I, " are you content to be here ? Are you well ?" " Yes," said the child. This was all that it was possible to extract from him. As soon as he could get away he returned, and re-seated himself with a. sad expression on the edge of the well, under the shade of an enormous fig tree. " How is it," said I to the canon, " that the name of Edgar was given. to him in baptism ?" "We did not give him that name—it is the one that he had before being bap tised." "And his parents, do they often come to see him?' " Once, in 1859. The father came with out the mother in 1860, but he did not ask to see him. He entered the church, and we R ere warned THE AMERICAN QUESTION. The quotation of gold at New York brought by the Great Eastern is but 34 per cent. premium. The confidence of the American people in the future re demption in specie of the Government paper issues is therefore still unshaken. This state of feeling can exist only from a belief that all the laws which regulate the movements of money in other parts of the world are inoperative in the United States, or from a dense ignorance, on the part of all classes of the people, of even those elementary principles which in England are familiar to most persons. Happily, for their present comfort, the former solu tion is that which prevails among the Washington politicians, and, as the recent creations of debt are held almost entirely at home, foreign nations can await the result without anxiety. A year ago, when it was predicted that before the end of 1861 there would be a suspension of specie payments, there was the same reliance that America was elevated be yond the possibility of any such casualty, and the outside world had for six months to bear heavy reproaches for the malignity of the suggestion. It must, however, be admitted that the delay of the financial catastrophe which has now so long been anticipated is such as to surprise all observers, and to demonstrate either that reason is no longer to be trusted in such matters, or that the infatuation and absence of the most rudimentary knowledge of financial rules in the Northern States is far more complete than any one conversant with the fact that most of the people can read and write had at any time conceived to be pos sible. The fancy into which they have been led regarding their currency seems in a great mea sure to have been assisted by the Morrill tariff, and a remarkable instance has thus been furnished of the way in which one delusion will help another until they are both destined to be dispersed by a storm of double force. If free trade had prevailed in America, the first expansion of the currency would have been followed by a proportionate in crease of importations, which would immediately have exposed the impending danger, but the im mense bounty accorded by the protective tariff to a:1 classes of home productions has caused capital and labour to be concentrated upon them to an ex tent never previously witnessed. This concentration of capital and labour upon domestic manufactures must—unless we are to accept the preposterous supposition that they have hitherto been previously redundant in the United States—be followed by a withdrawal from other branches of industry; and, as the agricultural interest has of late years been the mainstay of the North, we must assume that it is in this direction we are henceforth to look for the evil consequences of the prevailing policy. Of course, it the Americans have enough labour at command to create at home, not only all the food, but all the clothing and other articles they require, they can maintain a prohibitory,tariff without any other danger than that which results to civilisa tion from the limitation of intercourse with the rest of mankind, but if it be the fact that labour is the material which is most scarce in America and most abundant elsewhere, then the consequences of such a system must eventually prove more terrible to that country than to any other. To most persons at this day it will seem almost ludicrous to speak of the possibility of a deficiency of food in America ; but it is only 25 years since the country was visited by that dele tion in consequence of the gambling mania which for a few years previously attracted the population to the great cities, and caused the extension of agri culture to be neglected. Every man was then making his fortune by buying land, instead of cultivating it. Are there no symptoms to indicate that a recurrence of this state of affairs is possible; and if such should be the case, will not the convul sion in consequence be such as has never yet been witnessed P It is only three years since, owing to an adverse season, the United States had no spare supply of grain to send us, the annual crop being little more than sufficient for home consumption, and if even a moderately indifferent harvest should now be witnessed, it is impossible to say to what extent the evil might be aggravated by the diminu tion in the amount of cultivation that must have taken place through the war. The 700,000 strong and youthful men now serving in the army, and consuming and wasting more than double their ordinary quantity of food and drink, must pre viously have been oecupied in some profitable manner, and it is idle to pretend that the re sults of the cessation of this source of wealth will not soon make themselves visible. When the North had a bad h arvest three year back, the United States fou nd a compensation in the extraordinary annual increase of the cotton crop and its sale i n Europe at advancing prices ; but the country ha s now nothing to depend upon but its grain. It has just realised, and is still realising, the profits of the most extraordinary harvests ever known, and which harvests occurred at a time when Europe was suffering from a sad deficiency. Yet, even although the quantities th secured are still being shipped to us with all the speed allowed by the available freight, it is not enough to preserve the balance of the transactions between the two countries, and to prevent the necessity for specie being transmitted to us by each steamer. When these grain shipments are dimi nished or altogether suspended, and when it is dis covered by the mass of the people that their Govern ment " demand notes," or " deposit notes," or certificates of indebtedness" wily be of no avail to send to Rio for coffee, to China for tea, to India for saltpetre, or to France for wine, what will be the rate at which they are likely to be exchanged for specie ? The question has evidently never yet been e ntertained among them, and even if it should arise, the assurance of the Washington politicians that Europe will soon send millions of gold across the The arrangements for the festival are now com plete. The engagements have been made with the entire band and chorus ; and the committee of the Sacred Harmonic Society—whose experience in large meetings of this character is well known--- state that on no former occasion has so large or so talented an assemblage of amateurs and professors ever been gathered together. The instrumentalists comprise stringed instruments, of whom no less than 138 are violoncellos and double basses. Considerably over 100 wind instruments are employed, and this with the great organ of Messrs. Gray and Davison, which is now receiving large additions, will pro duce an instrumental combination without prece dent. The chorus will bring up the aggregate num ber of performers to about 4,000; and as the emana tions of the giant composer will now be heard for the first time on anything approaching this scale, in a completed and properly prepared acoustically constructed roofed orchestra, the effect must be far beyond what has ever been witnessed. It would occupy too much space to specify each district or town from which the component parts of this great orchestra have been assembled. Leeds, Bradford, York, Huddersfield, Halifax, &c., contri bute a large quota of voices,whose sonorous qualities and perfect training are well known. Birmingham, Norwich, Gloucester, Worcester, and Hereford, towns whose regularly trained choral bodies are kept up for the service of their respective festivals, send efficient aid. Manchester, Liverpool, and other Lancashire districts, help with their most efficient singers to swell the contingent ; the Universities, Oxford and Cambridge, and the Royal choirs and chapels, each send a selection of their best vocalists, while the cathedral towns, through the kind per• mission of the ecclesiastical authorities, are re presented scarcely without any exception. It is a marked evidence of the growth of feeling in favour of these great musical undertakings, that both from manufacturers and others the most liberal permission has been granted to attend the coming Handel Festival. This is doubtless owing to the International Exhibition being held at the same time; but whatever the cause, the most bene ficial effect will be produced on the general musical excellence of the Handel Festival. The provincial chorus will arrive in London on the afternoon of Friday, the 20th inst., and a great choral rehearsal will be held in Exeter Hall the same evening. Large, however, as the great hall is, it is doubtful if it will, with the aid of the orchestra and galleries hold the large force of chorus singers who will then be brought together. The great full rehearsal will take place at the Crystal Palace on the following day. It will begin at 11 o'clock, and is expected to last some hours, as the most important pieces in the programme of the three days, both for princi pal singers as well as full orchestra, will be gone through. After the rehearsal a display of the great fountains will bo given. The price of ' rehearsal tickets is Is. 6d., if purchased on or be fore Thursday next ; after that day half-a-guinea will be charged. As all the guinea seats on the floor of the palace are open on the rehearsal day to the holders of these tickets, such unusual advan tages are offered that there is certain to be a very large attendance at the rehearsal day particularly as the season ticket holders at the Crystal Palace have also the right of entry on this day. It has been advertised that these tickets as well as the ss. tickets for each day of the festival, are on sale at many of W. H. Smith and Mr. Colling's bookstalls at the various railway stations, a facility which doubtless many visitors to the metropolis during the next week will profit by. Special trains will also be run for the rehearsal day from many places, particularly on the Brighton and South Coast lines. The great roof over the orchestra is now complete in its decorations. Its imposing span must be seen to be fully appreciated. It is a sight in itself. The most gratifying marks of approbation on the con struction have within the last week been conveyed to the chairman of the Crystal Palace Company on this great work. One of the eminent contractors of the International Exhibition has described it as one of the most ingenious pieces of carpentry ever constructed. M. Costa, who has spent much time in carefully noting its acoustical properties, writes that he is " delighted with the effect pro duced by the organ as well as by a single instrument played in the orchestra." Also, " Much as I had anticipated from the roof, it has far exceeded my most sanguine anticipations. The least sound is not only audible, but travels everywhere, and the effect that the immense orchestra will produce at the coming festival must really be wonderful." The success which has attended the erection of this great roof has enabled the directors to offer a very much larger number of really good stalls to It th.e i r s public on this than at any fo rmer festival. for now clearly ascertained that t he best places hose at The pns of the hearing the music at this festival will be t a some distance from the orchestra. this regarded as the eligible positions.

To them it will be p eculiarl y s triking, b ecau se, however much mo re hi g hl y musically educated they may be than the generality of English visitors to the festival, it is yet certain that in no andcon tinental part of the Contine nt— g reat and a s manyanyt ofanything n the gr ea t t h e meetings musical festivals are--in same no place abroad complete musi cal can gapproaching organisation, the same astounding combination of really effective musical executive art, be heard as at the Handel Festival at the Crystal Palace. Preparations for the Royal and distinguished visitors expected at the Festival have begun by the erection of a large Royal box in the centre of the gallery ; two small boxes on either side of the orchestra have also been prepared with the same object. The official book of words will be issued this day; it will be of considerable bulk, and in addition to the words of the oratorios and the selection, will contain the names of all the performers, and police instruction, &e., respecting entrances. On the rehearsal day the performance will com• mence at 11, on each day of the festival at 1 o'clock. us I As to forgery by photography, the watermark is the most effectual safeguard which can be conveniently employed, and this appears to be the opinion of the Bank au: horities, who, for some time past used a paper water marked to a considerably greater extent than formerly. The fact that this art has not hitherto been employed, so far as known, in the multiplication of those valuable sheets that of paper bearing the superscription of J. Ga ttie, is a proo there are obstacles in the way of so abusing it, which b eco me evident in practice. In the first place, the lens must be a large and good one, and such a lens costs a con f only siderable sum of money ; and. to this must be added a few pounds more for the machine requisite to produce the water.. mark. Then ihe pulp of which banknote paper is made, is of a peculiar manufacture, and can only be obtained, if obtained at all, surreptitiously. As to anybody getting a blank note, that is almost impossible, in consequence of the precautions taken in the mills where they are manufae- I tured,—Once a IRO, Mr. A. J. B. Beresford Hope, in a letter to a contemporary, says:— The opinion which you express, that the time is approaching when England, in concert with France, must offer her radiation to the fratricidal bellige rents, it not, also in concert with our neighbour, recognise the Confederate States as a Power of the earth, bas steadily been gaining strength in the minds of thinking people in this country of every condition. It has been my occupation for some time past to feel the popular pulse upon the matter, and ascertain the general sentiments of society on the American conteet.. The result which has been forced on me is that Englishmen and Englishwomen, if not with perfect unanimity, at all events by a very preponderating majority, desire to see the strife ter minated in the only way which justice and possi bility combine to indicate, namely, in the establish ment of the Southern Confederacy of sovereign States as a recognised and independeutPower. Rich and poor, High Tories and Conservatives, Whigs and advanced Liberals, Churchmen, Dissenters, Roman Catholics, have all expressed the same de sire to me in the strongest language. In the spring of the year I was lecturing upon American matters to several hundreds of the inhabitants of a wealthy town of between 20,000 and 30,000 inhabitants, surrounded by the leaders of the two political parties in the place, and I found the meeting uanimous and enthusiastic in its support of a very outspoken argument for Southern inde pendence. The growing distress in Lancashire has since that period intensified public opinion, while the endurance of the South on the one hand, and the brutal violence on the other of such Pro consuls as Butler, have tended to raise what was then a strong conviction into a foregone conclusion that the South cannot be, and ought not to be, dra gooned into submission. Common sense pleads that men who prefer to burn their crops to allowing them to pass into the enemies' hands, are not likely to be wooed back to Republican Union by the voice of authority stigmatising the patriotism of their wives and daughters as harlotry. Besides, "Union" itself is no longer the fashionable formula among the fiercer partisans of the war in the North. " Em pire" is the word, and in the name of empire it is confessed that the conquest of the South is com passed. What the significance to England, to Canada, and other North American colonies, to the British West Indies, and to Europe at large of a Yankee empire, starting with the old United States as its first possession, would be, I do not pause to inquire. I venture to assume that the bulk of the Northern people may not have realised the whole sig nificance of the delusive lure thus dangled before their eyes by the interested partisans of this well-calcu lated warfare. Isbell continue to trust that they have not with their eyes open committed themselves to principles which are intended by their advocates to be a defiance to all residuary Christendom. There is one thing of which 1 am certain—that all over the North there is a party, undoubtedly and un happily a minority, but still a minority possessed of a moral strength which may make itself felt in a moment of crucial trial, which hates the war, and which accepts (whether liking it or not) the future independence of the South as an irreversible fact. These are the men who still think as Mr. Everett th o ught when he was the " Union party" candidate f a or d t r h e e s V s : te-Presidentship in 1860, and wro t e in his d " The suggestion that the Union can be maintained by the numerical preponderance of one section excited to co erce the other into submission is, in my judgment, as self contradictory as it is dangerous. It comes loaded with the death smell from fields wet with brothers' blood ;" and as Mr. Everett continued to think on February 22, 1861, four days after Mr. Jefferson Davis had been installed Southern President, when he wrote to the Boston Courier :- 4 , To expect to hold 15 States in the Union by force is preposterous. The idea of a civil war, accompanied as it would be by servile insurrection (in this he was mistaken). is too monstrous to be entertained for a moment. If our sister States must leave us, in the name of Heaven let them go in peace." Of such men there are, I believe, hundreds in the Northern States to every one Unionist in the South, and in their silent and necessarily cautious, but sincere co-operation, Europe must confide as a potent auxiliary in any measure of intervention. I pass over the impending cataclysm of Northern finance, and the contingent disaffection of the *est, for these are elements in the consideration which every one can supply for himself. Permit me here to testify ho w much it is to your to keep ourselves on guard, for he intended, it was said, to carry him away." "When will he have the power of leaving ?" "At seventeen ; but he has a marked calling for the ecclesiastical state," " Does he often speak of his father and mother P" "No he appears to have forgotten them. However, he writes to them twice a year., imploring them to be converted. The parents make no reply to his let ters." (I thought to myself that such letters, writ ten by this unhappy child from a cop; made by the priests, could poorly satisfy the parents. Moreover, they knew very well that a reply would not reach the child.) " The mother, they tell me," said be, "is a good woman, who would willingly become converted, but the father is a hardened sinner. It was he who went to Cavour at Turin, and was the cause of all the fuss that was on account of the carrying away of this child. Henceforth the child belongs to God. He will have his first communion next week, and will receive the holy sacrament from the hands of a French bishop." I could report to you several other details of this interesting conversation, but my space fails me. I will only say that I shall never forget the accent with which the priest to whom the young Mortara is confided said to me these words, " They talk much of the rights of the father and of nature re specting the carrying away of the child, but divine rights, supernatural rights, override the rights of the father—of the family. A baptised child is our property." I was loth to leave. Slowly I descended the steps of the cloister which led to the church, and. took a last look at that poor Israelite, passing. his infancy amidst those black robes. Entering the church, I came across a grozlp of devotees, who were kissing the chains of St. Peter, They offered them to me to kiss; but, thinking of ti:e poor child, I turned away my head, saying to myself that resig • nation could never reach such a depth with me as to embrace the emblems of such a horrible 6e,rvitude.
