They might depend upon it that those persons were not advancing , the Liberal cause who day after day were using language which alarmed the timid—nay, he would say, language which in ipired distrust in the wise. The men who said openly that the object fur which political power was to be extended was that they might attack property ; who said that political power must be extended because the whole of the existing system of legislation—the whole constitution of the coun try—was a fraud, a deception, and a snare ; the men who held forth as the deliberate object and aim of Parliamentary reform, the accomplishment of a great political revolution—those men, we might be sure, were the greatest and the bitterest enemies of the Liberal cause. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Har court proceeded to refer to Mr. Bright's Liverpool speech, and with reference to his project of a tax on realised property made the following quotation from a work of Mr. J. Stuart Mill, written in 1843 : " The objection to a graduated property-tax applies in an aggravated degree to the proposition of an exclusive tax on what is called ' realised property'—that is, property , not forming a part of any capital engaged in business, or (it should rather be said) in business on the owner's account, as land, the public funds, money lent on mortgage, and shares (I presume) in joint stock companies. Except the proposal of applying a sponge to the national debt no such palpable vio lation of common honesty has found sufficient sup port in this country during the present generation to be regarded within the domain of discussion. . . . That such a proposition should find any favour is a striking instance of the want of conscience in matters of taxation, resulting from the absence of any fixed principle in the public mind, and of any indication of a sense of justice on the subject in the general conduct of Governments. Should the scheme ever enlist a large party in its support, the fact would indicate a laxity of pecuniary integrity in national affairs scarcely inferior to American repudiation." A more dangerous and deceptive scheme than that which Mr. Bright had proposed he (Mr. Harcourt) never heard of. It was a scheme which would tax no property which was embarked in trade, but which would place the whole taxation of the coun try on what was called realised property in land, in mortgage, or in the funds. The effect of this tax of Bs. on capital would be to take £l3 odd per annum out of every £lOO derived from realised property ; and when they recollected that the average sum held in the funds was only about £lO3 for each fundholder, they would see that the effect of the proposal would be not to tax rich men but poor annuitants. Which scheme, then, the present or that proposed by Mr. Bright, should be described "as essentially mean and singularly cruel ?" Was it not the scheme by which it was proposed to re lieve large incomes at the expense of small proper ties ? (Hear, hear.) Why was it that so long as a man spent his means no tax should be laid upon him, but that he should be heavily taxed the moment he began to save ? It was expenditure that was the evil of the country, and saving that was its wealth. Was this scheme which proposed to tax savings alone a scheme which ought to be accepted by an intelligent and reasoning people, in the place of cne which might not be perfect, but to characterise which as "essentially mean and singularly cruel" was a false and malicious libel— it bing a system which was perfection itself when contrasted with the outrageous and unblushing project of spoliation ? Mr. Harcourt proceeded to advert to the probable consequences of such lan guage as that employed by Mr. Bright. Was it not to hold out the idea that the poor wanted Parlia mentary reform in order to plunder the rich—that political power should be put into the hands of those who had no property, in order that they might tax as they pleased those who had ? Conceive the effect of such language, he would not say on the upper classes, but on the great moneyed classes and on the middle classes of this country. Would it not fill them with alarm, and with a sort of instinct of self-preservation, which said, " Let us fight to the death ; let us resist rather than permit ourselves to be spoiled in this manner ?" This was the same language, the same scheme, and the same principles which induced the , great and spirited French na tion to fly from the intolerable evils of democratic Socialism to take refuge under the bayonets of an empire. It was. because the French people, less reasonable and more excitable than the English, listened to schemes of this description, and because they took the projects of one political charlatan alter another, that they brought on themselves that condition of social and political anarchy which made their political existence intolerable and made them say, " Give us despotism, give us cannon in our streets, give us policemen at our hearths ; give us anything to rescue us from a condition of things which we can bear no longer." And they might depend upon it that if ever political reform was to be treated in that spirit it would meet with the same results. If we wanted political reform and desired an extension of the power of the people, we must seek it by convincing public opinion that there was a class below the existing constituency who were quite as much prepared to resist those unjust principles as those above them. He for one would not enter into this discussion as a war of classes ; he would not treat this great constitutional question as one which was to be fought by setting one class against another, which was to teach the poor that the rich were their enemies,and which was, on the other hand, to teach the rich that the poor infallibly, if they were permitted to have political power, would despoil those over whom they had gained a majority. He believed either delusion to be equally fatal, and he believed both statements to be equally false. He did not believe that the rich, taking them as a body, were the oppressors of the poor, and he did not believe that the poor, if they had political power, had any desire to despoil the rich. (Hear, and heers.) Mr. Harcourt, in conclusion, expressed his warmest gratitude, not merely for the magnificent testimonials which had been presented to him, but for the brilliant assem blage which had convened to do him honour. It only remained for him to say, in answer to the question put to him by Provost Birrell, that it was impossible for him to say whether, when the next election came round, he might be in a position to offer himself to any constitutency ; but he would say this—and he hoped it would be considered a satisfactory answer—that he would stand for no other place until lie had again offered himself to his warm and valued friends of the Kirkaldy burghs. (Enthusiastic cheering.) Provost BIRRELL expressed his gratification at the answer which he had elicited, and after the usual complimentary votes the meeting. separated. PRO.POSED FARRINGDON-STREET TERMINUS. Yesterday evening a public vestry of the parish of St. Bride was held in the vestry-room, Fleet street, for the purpose of considering the proposed terminus of the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail- way. The Rey. M. C. Marshall, the vicar, was in the chair. Mr. LAWLEY said he considered the proposed railway to be one of the utmost importance to the parish of St Bride, as there was a great deal of waste ground in the parish for which, at present, they had no use, and if the scheme proposed was carried out it would be the means of that land being occupied. The railway would cross Ludgate hill, and its central station would stand upon the site of the Fleet Prison. It would increase the trade and prosperity of the parish. He concluded by moving—" That in the opinion of the vestry the construction of the proposed extension of the Lon don, Chatham, and Dover Railway to a station in Farringdon-street, and a junction with the ter minus of the Metropolitan Railways in Victoria street, would be highly beneficial to the city of London." The motion having been seconded, Mr. ROUGH said the vestry should have a plan of the bridge, as he considered a bridge across Ludgate-hill would entirely destroy the traffic of that locality. After some discussion, Mr. GILBERTSON proposed as an ame ndment that the meeting be adjourned to enable the vestry to provide a plan of the bridge and an e stimate of the property likely to be destroy ed b y the railway. Mr. KILLICK seconded the amendment. Mr. SMITII, in reply to a question, said the amount of rated property that would be destroyed by the railway would amount to about £l,OOO or £2,000 on Ludgate-hill. The amendment on being put was lost by a large majority. Mr. ARDING then moved that the following be attached t6' the original motion, "But the vestry considers it will be incumbent on the directors of the proposed railway company to place such a bridge across Ludgate-hill as shall be an ornament to the city of London." As Mr. Lawley had no objection, the addition was agreed to. The resolution was then carried. Petitions in favour of the scheme were then agreed to, and the ,proceedings closed with a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 6, 1860.

I have tried to point out that the great revolution going on in military matters, which no one in his senses will deny, aims at the superiority of the in dividual soldier, physical as well as moral ; that this principle is the most congenial to the English character and to English institutions ; that its appli cation has produced the most glorious epoch for British arms, and that it is only from a return to it that a successful organization can be expected— one which should answer in every emergency, and enable British military organization not only to compete with, but to surpass those of the conti nental nations. I have been lengthy in establishing this basis, because it is only a firm conviction in the necessity of it which can overcome long-rooted habits and prejudices. In a country which pays such worship to everything old, and where a change even in the most trifling matters is liable to be looked upon as an attack at the very root of an institution, the first thing is the recognition of a principle. Until this is general even the most obvious improvements be come impossible ; while, the principle once recog nised, some radical reforms become a natural con sequence. It was the same with all the great revo lutions in the internal policy of England which have taken place for the last 30 years—Parliamen tary reform, the colonial system, the financial sys tem, Catholic emancipation, and numerous others ; and so rapid have been the changes when once the principle has been recognised that a few years suf ficed to efface almost all traces of the old system This recognition of the true principle of modern military organization will, it may be hoped, be facilitated by the tacit, or rather unconscious intro duction of it which has already taken place. By the adoption of the rifle as the arm of the British Infantry, and by the establishment of the rifle school at llythe, the military authorities have, without suspecting it, laid the axe at the roet of the old system ; they have appealed to the indi vidual qualities of the soldier, and, by this appeal, condemned the system which converted him into a machine. But they seem not to have hitherto perceived the principle which they thus admitted ; for else they would have seen the incongruity of introducing an arm requiring the greatest possible development of all the faculties of the soldier under a system calculated to produce the very reverse, and they would have hastened to bring the whole military organization into harmony with this prin ciple. As it is, there exists on odd anomaly—a working, as it were, in two entirely different direc tions, neutralizing one effort by another, and making things in many respects worse than before. The more the soldier is perfected in the use of his new weapon, the more will he perceive the absur dity of playing the automaton. While he was armed with Brown Bess and sytematically stultified, he felt, no doubt, the inconvenience of a tight, uncom fortable dress, of the stock and knapsack ; but he considered them up to a certain point as an inevit able evil, —something absolutely to keep him in harness, like the cabman's horse in Punch ; but, now that he is given a beautiful weapon, and taught to use his faculties to make it formidable in his hands, he feels every moment his efficiency im paired by every incumbrance which impedes the free movement of his body. If the soldier got so easily "out of hand" when everything was done to impress him with the idea of his helplessness as an individual, how much more will this be the case now when he is taught his individual value, but not shown how to use it under all circumstances ! I heard that a high military authority and fer vent admirer of the old system, returning from an inspection of the Armstrong gun, shook, his head, and expressed his doubt about all these newfangled ideas, which were only calculated to destroy the good old system. According to his views the per cussion musket was a deterioration on the old flint lock, the rile on the percussion musket, and the rifled gun on the good old gun. The old gentleman was consistent from his point of view, which con sidered the old system as the highest perfection , which cannot long co-exist with the newfangled notions. As the great majority of the British people are not quite so convinced of the infallibility of the good old system as to go back to the lint lock, they ought to see and press the necessity of adapting the system to the weapon, instead of adapting this latter to the former. They o ug ht to study how to raise the physical and moral qualities of the soldier to the highest point, to protect such a precious and costly being by the most comfortable and least cumber. some clothing, to make hirn as hardy and full of resources as the North American squatter, to drill hint so as to give him the full use of his muscles and his intellect, to reform the system of promotion so as to stimulate his ambition and to attract the intel ligent and energetic class 9f the British community which now seeks fortune in other climes, to relieve the military administration of the fetters of routine, and to base it on the principle of responsibility. All this may sound ver y radical and impossible at first sight, but, if tried, most of the difficulties will disappear, the only condition being that the mind be free of prejudice. All the boasted perfec tion in England has been acquired by seeking im provement in every branch, and by the greatest thousands of patents which are gr.anted every ye im provement possible attention to each little detail. Take those small as the benefit may be w hich each little introduces, the aggregate number of them makes British industry advance every year with gigantic steps. Every one contributes his mite in the application of a physical, mathematical,i or chemical principle. What is so successful in every other specialite should likewise be so in the military specialite. This is not exempted from general laws, whatever be the opinion of the high priests and jealous hierophants, who try to shrou d military matters as if they were the mysteries of Eleusis, in accessible to the eyes of the uninitiated. Mysteries are fine things in the age of supersti tion, but they are unveiled by the impertinent spirit of curiosity and criticism which characterises our age. They require study and practice like every thing else, but follow the laws which regulate everything else. The higher the individual deve lopment of the parts, the greater will be the per fection of the whole. This individual development does not mean that the British soldier should become a Bashi Bazouk— every one for himself and no one for all ; on the contrary, the more the principle fs adhered to the more easily disciplined and guided will be the soldier. An obvious comparison will bring the matter better hothe than anythin r else. Go to a Continental riding-school, where the time-honoured traditions of the Spanish school are still kept up , in all their glory, and look at the process of training a horse ; you will see a course of torture and senseless cruelty with bit, spur, and whip, to instruct the horse all that nature has taught him. Et seems animals Lave more spirit than man, for it requires at least ten years to make the horse perfect. By that time, if lie is not quite an untameable brute, he will know how to go on one, or two, or three legs, but will Dover, by any chance, make the mistake of going on all four; he will take special pleasure in going as much as possible with his tail foremost ; he will start off in a trot or canter, or, making the great and small volte change—in fact, do every cunning device of the riding-school at the voice of the mas ter, and without any other guidance. If by this judicious course of training he has still a leg left to stand upon, which is extremely rare in horses per fect in the riding-school, you may take him out, and you will find one of two things—either he is as broken down in his spirit as on his legs, and so stultified that he can never be got out of his re gular pace, or else, if he is not utterly broken down, the first thing will be his trying to run away with his rider ; no persuasion will ever get him over a fence or across a ditch, and after half an hour he will be completely " done." As everyone cannot go to a Continental riding-school, he may still make the comparison, although not in so striking a man- Der ' by going first to a regimental riding school, and then to a good hunting field, with magnificent animals in high condition, capable of work as no other horses are, which have been taught not to make use of one or two, but of all their four legs. They have not been tortured into unnatural atti tudes, but trained to the consciousness of their strength and skill, while they at the same time have acquired a docility and sagacity which makes them capable of learning almost anything. And yet, with few exceptions, they are more tractable and yielding than any horse untaught by the Span ish school. They divine almost the ideas of their rider, if he has any, and save him often in spite of himself. No Englishman will differ in opinion about the best trained horse of the two, the well-trained rid ing-school horse and the equally well-trained hunter. Common sense must indicate which is the most useful. One must have an extremely good opinion of oneself and a very bad one of one's fellow-crea tures not to admit that if an animal can be raised by a rational treatment, according to its nature, and become so much better, the same will more easily succeed with human beings. All depends on recognizing this principle, and clearing the mind of prejudices, Indeed, so simple and natural seems all the rest, that it would have been long ago seen but for the density of prejudice which obscured official eyes. SIR JOHN TRELA WAVY, M.P., AND lIIS COSSTITUENTS. According to annual custom, Sir John Trelawny addressed his constituents at the Bedford Hotel, Tavistock, on Tuesday evening, and met with an enthusiastic and hearty reception. The HON. MEMBER, after referring to matters connected with the borough, proceeded to give an account of his stewardship, remarking that he wished to place himself for a moment in the posi tion of an elector, in order that he might ask of his representative what had been achieved during the last session, what had become of the public money, what ought to be done in the future, and finally, what were his impressions in general with regard to public men and public affairs ? In reference to the first question, he observed that the P arliament had been a very short one, and had been elected under somewhat hasty circumstances, and notwith standing that the chief attention of the Conserva tives had been devoted to keeping out the Whigs, and of the Whigs to displacing the Conservatives, yet it would not be fair to say that the session had not been without fruit. Several measures had been passed, such as the Militia Act, the additional steps in law reform, the Provident Societies Act, the acts on coinage, on county courts, and for railway arbitration ; the amendment of the divorce law, the measures for providing a reserve of seamen, the In come Tax Act, and the Act for Amending the En closure Act, all of which were useful if not preten tious, and would be important aid to future progress. Making special allusion to the subject of national defences—a subject of great importance, he quoted the expressed opinion of Mr. Cobden in the House of:Commons, to the effect that, if the country were in danger of invasion by any foreign foe, he would be ready to vote five hundred or five thousand mil lions for our defence, as evincing the anxiety of even the most economically disposed, and the most ardent in the support of peace principles, to guard the honour and integrity of the country. In ex planation of how the public money had been ex pended during the past year, Sir John entered into the facts recently elicited with respect to the mis management and jobbery in connection with our dockyards and public establishments, and the corrupt manner in which contracts were given for the sake of political support. He observed that there were some who looked to the continuance of these proceedings for providing their own remedy —who argued that if cuff. red a little longer, they would bring on a collapse and a revolution, and the overthrow of that influence in the State by which such practices had been so long fostered. He did not agree with this sentiment. Though neither of the great parties in the State acted with thorough honesty, or went farther than a given point in root ing out these abuses, the one always desiring to r etain, and _the other to get the patronage, yet he was disposed to work with such tools as he found—to take men as they were, and to effect with them such reforms as he could, rather than incur the disasters of a collapse and a revolution ; and he was glad to say that, even as it was, pro gress was being made year by year towards a better state of things. Tho lion. gentleman approved of the volunteer movement, and suggested it might be carried out so as to put our army somewhat on the footing of that of the Unitel States, where the regu lar army did not consist of more than ten or twelve thousand men, and was composed chiefly of the skilled and scientific branches of the service—the artillery, and 'sappers and miners—leaving the rest to a trained body of volunteers and militia, who could at: any time be embodied for service when re quired. He disapproved of the £10,000,060 pro posed to be expended in fortifications and new guns, considering that the experience of the Russians in the Crimea showed with what effect earthworks could be thrown up at any time by the mere com mand of labour, and having regard to the circum stance that the ordnance provided now might become obsolete by fresh inventions three or five years hence. Referring to the question of church rates the hon. member argued at some length in support of the abolition of that impost. lie be lieved it had been admitted that in the course he had taken on this subject he had been fair to his opponents, and had been willing to make the most of their plans, while not giving up his own views. He now warned these gentlemen to beware of the language they used. He would not retaliate the expressions that had been resorted to on 'the other side. The friends of church-rate abolition were now in a position in which they could afford to deal with the matter patiently and calmly ; but it would be well for their opponents not to indulge in such language as they had lately heard, which must have been very wounding, and might recoil on themselves. A Conservative member of Parliament, standing high in reputation, had spoken of the decision of the 1 I House of Lords virtually settling the question as a 1 scandalous decision. The term was applied to a decision given by the highest tribunal in the land. Surely it could not be wise in that party to rouse up a feeling against the institutions upon which their whole case depended. Then, a noble lord had spoken of church-rates as standing on the same footing as any man's title to his land. Now they must recollect that church-rates were a voluntary tax. No church-rate could be levied without the consent of the majority in a parish. How then could it be pretended that they were an indefeasible and inalienable charge upon property ? Yet so great a legal authority as Lord St. Leonardo had maintained that position. He proceeded to test Lord Derby's consistency on this subject, by show ing that the noble lord—who now contended that to take away church-rates as a means of supporting the national Church was to rob the poor of their inheritance—had himself, in 1823, been instru mental in the abolition of the vestry cess in Ireland, which was the church-rate there. If it was a charge upon property, and if to take it away was to rob the poor of their inheritance, Lord Derby, as an owner of Irish property which benefited by that change, had robbed the poor of their inherit ance. Noticing the scheme recently propounded by some of the bishops and eminent members of the Church for raising £1,000,000 by the sale of livings • in the gift of the Lord Chancellor, and another million by subscription, in order to devote the whole to the erection and endowment of GOO new churches, the hon, baronet entered into a cal culation showing how much better a por tion of this money would be applied in sub stitution of church-rates, hcw much of the sums at present collected as church-rates was expended illegally. It was shown by the case of Ireland, where no church rates had existed for many years, and by the case of Tavistock itself, where it was found very easy to support the church without this rate, that the fabric could be main tained by voluntary effort; and the bishops them selves proved the same thing by proposing to build and endow so many new churely!s by subscriptions. After some further remarks on this subject, to the effect that all parties were now aware that some thing must be done in the matter, and that the up holders of church rates had lost much by not giving way at an earlier period, when a more easy settle ment would have satisfied the public than the sweeping change they would now insist upon, Sir John treated of the question of Parliamentary Re form, advising all parties to take warning by the church rate agitation, and consent to a wide and liberal measure of Reform, while yet the country, being in a state of quietness and prosperity, was disposed to reason with them; He said, if the pre sent Government dealt honestly and boldly with this subject, they had every chance of a prolonged tenure of power. He complained of the neglectful and contemptuous treatment which members of the House of Commons had experienced from former Liberal Governments, and paid a high tribute to the courtesy and gentlemanly bearing of Mr. Dis raeli in that respect. Several other subjects of cur rent interest were referred to by the hon. gentle man, who concluded his speech, amid loud applause, by expressing a hope that the meeting would pass a resolution approving in general terms of his political conduct. On the motion of Mr. C. V. BRIDGMAN, a vote of confidence was unanimously passed to Sir John Trelawny, and the meeting separated. 31R. Ir. TIARCOURT AT KIRKC On Wednesday evening Mr. William Vernon Harcourt, who at the last general election contested the Kirkcaldy Burghs with Colonel Ferguson, the present member, and only lost the seat by a small majority, was presented by his supporters with a handsome epergne, along with a silver claretjug from the non-eleetors, in the new Corn-Exchange. Kirkcaldy, in presence of au assemblage of about 1,500 persons. Provost Birrell, Kirkcaldy, pre sided ; and Provost Normand, Dysart, and Mr. Thomson, Burntisland, severally presented the gifts of the electors and non-electors. Mr. HARCOURT, who was most enthusiastically received, acknowledged the testimonials in a speech of considerable length. After referring to various matters connected with the late contest, and ad- venting to the necessity that existed at the pre sent time for a strong and stable Government, he said,—There is no doubt that the present aspect of affairs in every part of the political horizon is menacing to au extent almost unexampled. We have been accustomed for the first time t 3 this fact, that wars of the most gigantic magnitude can break out in Europe without uny notice at all. I remem ber last winter, when it was said that there was going to be war between France and Austria. that it suited the purpose of the ruler of France to, what he called, " reassure" the confidence of Europe. Well, how was that done ? The people said, " There is danger, France is arming ; there is going to be war somewhere ; there are transports for troops and provisions being shipped at Toulon." Well, the Em peror Louis Napoleon wished, as he said, that Eu rope should be " reassured," and he put a paragraph into the 2Uoniteur to say that the transports that were being loaded at Toulon were bound only to provi sion the French troops in Cochin-China. Europe hardly believed the story, and its scepticism was just; for in six weeks the whole of these biscuits that were said to be going to Cochin-China were landed in the port of Genoa, and 200,000 Frenchmen ready to fight were landed on the shores of Italy. Now, do not suppose I mention this because I have no sympathy with the cause of those Italians in whose favour that French army was landed; but it is quite another thing to say that one has sym pathy with the persons who make use of the high and holy name of freedo:n for the furtherance of the most ambitious designs of the most cruel mili tary despotism that ever existed in the world. (Applause.) Do you suppose that, when the in fluence of Austria was attacked in Italy, the prin ciples of Austrian rule were the only things really hated by a Government which had destroyed a free press, which had imprisoned a free Parliament, and which had transported to the swamps of Cayenne every man who dared to express an opinion on the political condition of his own country ? 1 remem ber, gentlemen, it was onto said by a French writer on the side of despotism, when England fought the battle against the French Revolution at the beginning of the century, " It is our misfortune that we love the cause for which they fight, hut that we hate the nation that supports it." Now, I won't use exactly the same expression, hut, though we love the cause for which the Emperor of the French entered the Italian dominions, we do most strongly mistrust the Power which undertook— itself having been the assassin of liberty—to pro secute the cause of freedom. (Applause.) Gen tlemen, when I find the man who has destroyed the liberties of his own country venturing to nego tiate a bill of this kind on freedom, all that I say is, that I decline to discount it, for I don't like the security. (Cheers ani laughter.) But, gentlemen, there is a lesson we may learn from this, and I will tell you that, whatever some may think, whatever feeling some may entertain towards Austrian Go vernments, there is a country which is more detested, and I hope I may say more feared than any country which has yet been attacked—a country which, in the midst of the deluge of absolutism and despotism which has surged so often over the con. tinent of Europe, has still carried the faithful family of the free as the ark carried the family of Noah—the country which they detest, and which they fain would swamp—namely, the country to which you and I belong, and which we must above all things seek to defend. And we must also re member that if 200,000 men may be landed with out preparation, and almost without pretext for one particular purpose, they may also be landed for another; and when we are told that biscuits are only going to Cochin China we must not give the statement too ready a credence, but we must be prepared to think what we may have to do should the biscuits happen to come to London. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Well, now, lam happy to see that this feeling has pervaded every part of the United Kingdom. I know that Kirkcaldy herself has not been backward in the matter—(applause) and I know that there is spread over the country this feeling of a common danger and feeling of a eommon determination that, whatever may come to pass, England shall be safe—a feeling which has induced all slams—men in business, men of peace- ful occupations, and men who have no tendency to military display—to prepare themselves to learn the use of arms, that they may be ready, if occasion need, to appear in the defence of their country. Gentlemen, you may depend on it, that the groat use of the:volunteer movement has not been simply to meet the enemy in the event of an invasion ; it has a higher and far more useful object—namely, to deter that attack which it is so well calculated to repel—(loud cheers)—and no man who is the least aware of the real pulalic opinion of Europe, can doubt that the movement which has been made within the last few months in this country has created more effect among the nations on the con tinent of Europe than almost anything else which has taken place within the century. (Cheers.) Com ing to speak of Parliamentary reform, Mr. Har court said he knew there were persons who pro fessed themselves political reformers, and who claimed an exclusive monopoly of Liberal principles —persons who, having no respect for the past, de cried the existing constitution of their country, and who, casting sovereign contempt on their fathers, promised to the people —who, if they were not the most ignorant of mankind,must know that theywere duping them—things which they could never by any possibility perform. There were petsons who were seeking to make political capital by raising war be tween one class and another, who were seeking to excite the cupidity of the poor against the rich, and to cherish in the bosoms of a free and happy people a spirit of discontent and of revolution. (Hear.) If that was Liberalism, then he was not a Liberal. But if there was a Liberalism in accordance with which a man could feel that he belonged to a nation which had already achieved freedom and liberty such as the world had never before seen ; who, in spite of defects in the institutions which he was yet ready to amend, still believed that the paths in which his fathers had trod were the paths by treading in which himself, and by advancing fur ther in which, and by altering what was defective, and amending what had been mistaken, by extend ing popular influence by degrees—he was still building on the foundations ou which the British constitution had been reared—then, if that were Liberalism, he hoped, indeed, that he might claim in some humble degree the title of a Liberal. (Ap- • NEWEPAPEh • COUNT WBLEW c'EL 4.4 ,47/44,.7 • - Mont the Thum) A rumour for some days rife has been verM: Count Walewski, the French Minister for Foreicsn Affairs, has ceased to-hold office, and the .111oniteur of yesterday informs Europe that M. de Thouyenel has been recalled from, Constantinople to sit in his place. Thus another enigma is propesed to the in genuity of curious pollticians, and another leaf is turned in the poliCy our - perplexing ally The career of the Minister who is thus superseded is in itself a riddle, and hardly more readable as a con sistent whole than the policy of his mart r. Ceuta Waleweki's first appearance in England was is 1831, as the emissary of the Polish A ssoeiatio Ilis name seemed to ally him indissolubly with the championship of oppressed nationalities. To him, claiming name and maternal descent from the no bilitity of a people who had ceased to be a nation, the great Conservative Powers of Europe were na tura l enemies. Austria and Russia had trodden out his country. He was accepted here as the man of all others most committed to ultra views, and hole spended to the expectations of the party which welcomed him. He was a fierce Republican. It is not all of us who recollect the enthusiasm of those days, when large public subscriptions poured in, when Duchesses became lady patronesses to Polish balls, and when the House of Commons was com pelled by the popular voice to draw the national purse strings. The impetus, however, was so great that it was carried on with a languishing energy even to recent times. In all this Count Walewski was a very prominent, if not the most prominent, actor. Time wore on, and the enthusiasm for a hopeless cause wore out. Walewski, who held the memory of the first Napoleon in affectionate respect, attached him self, after many other adventures, to the fortu nes of the nephew. How he walked with him in the strange path which led Louis Napoleon to the pits nacle we all know ; and no one wondered to find him advanced by Napoleon 111. to posts of dignity and power. We congratulated ourselves when Count Walewski was Ambassador at our Court at having a mail to deal with who had lived among us so long, who knew us so well, who could appreciate so accurately the currents of our national impulses, and who was so capable of preserving unbroken the cordial understanding which this generation of Englishmen has always desired to maintain with our powerful neighbours. After a time, however, it became evident that, although Walewski knew us, we did not know Walewski. The Polish enthusiast had found a count/3', and had forgotten all his wrongs. Oppressed nationalities had in hismind passed from the category of martyrs to that of rebels. Austria and Russia were no longer robber -and tyrant Powers. Every one congratu lated himself that the representative of a revolu tionary empire had cured himself of his earlier exag gerations, and had become so moderate. But Wa lewski became Minister, and our English politicians began to diminish their satisfaction ; far Walewski's conversion from extreme Liberalism was becoming too complete. From a fierce Republican he had become a sort of Imperial Tory. He had grown not only to detest all insurgent nationalities, but to visit with his severe discouragement all constitu - tional Governments. When Europe was startled by some threatening demonstration which pro voked every free people to anger, it was Walewski who ostensibly bore the odium of the act. It was Walewski who insisted upon " regulating" Bel gium. It was Walews!.:i who proposed to compel England to banish Bernard. When the Emperor allowed himself to be carried away by a " generous impulse," and went forth .to emancipate Italy, it was Walewski who opposed the war. When Austria was worsted it was thought that it was We lewski who suggested that enough had been done. When the convention of Villafranca had been signed it was Walewski who interpreted it to mean the re storation of Italy to Austria and her satraps. Now, when the Pope is threatened, the Imperial thrcat comes forth in an anonymous pamphlet, and it is Walewski, the responsible Minister, who under takes to reassure the Pope and place official France by the side of the old Tory Powers. We hare tong been perplexed to know what this meant. Was it thought to be astute policy that the official language of France should always be in direct contradiction to her national action? Or did the Emperor take pleasure in exhibiting to the world what a mere empty pageant was the Imperial entourage of Ministers and Secretaries? Was Walewski commanded or was he only allowed to • parade these preferences for despotism ? The enigna is still hard to guess. All we know is that ho is for the present cast aside ; and all that we can infer is, that the Emperor of the French is desirous at this moment, and for this moment, to shuffle off the Conservative face which ne had kept turned towards Austria and Russia, to break through all the bonds which he had twined round himself at Villafranca, and to return to the atti tude he affected when he went forth to make war for his idea." Napoleon ILL is now in the diffi culty with commonly besets clever people who play a double game, he has only a choice of two evils. He must break his engagements with Austria and protect Italy against foreign interference, or he must keep his engagements with Austria, abandon Italy to her fate, and confess before the world that his " idea" was a delusion, and Magenta and Sol ferine but hideous blunders. If he adopt the first alternative he risks a collision with all the Catholic Powers of Europe; if he adopt the latter he be comes ridiculous in the eyes of a nation which can better endure a grinding tyranny than a stinging epigram. The dismissal of Walewski is a declara tion that Napoleon 111. is disposed to commit him self to the more liberal and generous line of policy, to cast himself into the Italian cause, and to main tain it against all the powers of despotism, and all the hostility of the Church. Under these cirenmstances NapoleOn 111. natur ally looks with anxiety to England. Will England undertake to help him to guarantee the soil of Italy from the tread of foreign soldiery ? e think we can answer the question. It is the best service that can be done to the Emperor, now that ho is in the dilemma, of which we have often times and long ago warned him to tell him can didly what he has to hope from this country. There are many matters of high import which depend upon the Ministers of the day, but matters of the very highest arc decided by the general popu lar will. As Tacitus said of our German ancestors, so it is with their descendants,—" De minoribus rebus principes consultant, de me joribus omnes." If we know anything of the sentiments of our coun trymen, nothing is more certain than that-this na tion would not endure any Ministry which should propose to pledge England to an offensive alliance with France against the rest of Europe. We wish well to Italy, but we " do not go to war for an idea." If we did so we should prefer to do so upon our own policy, and with confidence in our own right. If we did so we should, moreover, prefer to have some control over our own position and some confi dence that our allies would fight the whole fight out with us, and not make peace at inconvenient seasons. If we did so we . should like to go into it unfettered by any such engagements as might com pel us, perhaps, to look on with approval while our ally pushed on an army to the Rhine, and to sub 'mit hopelessly while he made a compact for the dis memberment of the East. It is a very generous part which Napoleon has assumed, but, as the bar barous civil law maxim says,—" Qeii ca n t advan &iglu capita steam disadcantagia." To him be all the glory, but to him also , be the labour. It is his idea, not ours. It is an engagement which he has undertaken for himself, under no encouragement from us. It is not for us, at this last moment, to imitate a conduct which we have persistently con demned ; it is not for us to play the part of Sar dinia without Sardinia's excuse. We will honour, glorify, sympathize, admire, but in this quarrel,and under these conditions, we will not fight. DESPERATE BURGLARY IN YORKSHIRE.—AbOIIt 2 o'clock on Sunday morning the residence of the Rev. J. Winn, Nappa-house, near Askrigg, Wensleydale, York.. shire, was entered by burglars, and the sum of £23 or ,t 25, wrapped in en old black kid glove, was carried off. Th e hou s e stands in a lonely sp ot about a mile from Askrigg, and nearly the same distance from the high road leading to that town. The inmates at the time of the burglary were the Rev. J. Winn, his housekeeper, and a boy about 12 years of ago. They w ere h ear i n g a poise c9used by aroused from their sleep a t th e ti me Winn immediately ar ose an d encouLtore d t h e two men r ansac ki ng the i s i tt: e d . by m r men, one of whom was armed with a hay spade, and threat ened to take his life if he did not instantly deliver up his money. A scuffle ensued, in the course of which the rev. gentleman received a severe blow on the head, and fell down in a state of unconsciousness. Having obtained the money, the men made their escape by leaping from the staircase window. The two servants had already left the house, and an alarm leas speedily given. The police were acquainted with the facts, and a number of young men from the neigh bouring town and villages offered their services to assist in capturing the burglars. The surrounding country was ranged during Sunday by the police, and also by numbers of both horsemen and footmen, but the men had not been arrested. They were traced by the police to Richmond, and a waistcoat marked' with blood and having two razors in the pockets, was found near Leyburn Shawl. Men answer ing the description of the thieves were seen at Redmir at an early hour in the morning, and from the knowledge which the police possess of one of the men, for whom they have for some time been watching, it is highly probable that the thieves will soon be in custody, andmect with their deserts. The men are described as of middle stature, but both were disguised when committing the burglary, and wore caps. The taller of the two wore a rounded jacket, light trousers, and navvie boots. It is very remarkable that a burglary was committed in the same house about six weeks ago, for which two men have been apprehende d b y the police ; one was liberated, and the other committed to . York for trial. They obtained £25 on that occasi on, on which three men were engaged; and a strong probability exists that at least one of them was concerned in the burglarious attack on Sunday morning.—Manchester ir h e trs ck iey rth and quo- Isar. n as I; to awes th• (fore. ran.l9 au. 4 eb. 1
