It is a well-known fact that impure and adulterated wines are the greatest foes to health, producing acidity in the stomach, and debilitating the d"gestive organs, while pure wines will accelerate the digestive powers, invigorating., strengthening, and bracing the nervous system. • Their Tonic Wine is admitted to be most essential to in valids, both old and young, and should never be absent from the homes of the weak and sickly.

By his systernai ic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is a' ;ained, and future mischief preven; ed.

THE POPE'S ENCYCLICAL LETTER, The Univers publishes an encyclical letter from he Pope headed thus," To our venerable brethren ,he Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, Bishops, and others, ordinaries of places in grace and in communion with the Apostolic See." We select the following passages as the most important :-- " Since the publication of our encyclical letter of the 18th of June, last year, and the two allocutio ns which were subse quen tly delivered in Consistory, you have learnt, your souls full of grief, with what evils religious and civil society in Italy is over whelmed, and what audacious and abominable acts of revolt were directed both against the legitimate Princes ofthe Italian States and the legitimate and sacred sovereignty which belong to us, to this Holy See ' • and, responding to our w i s h es an d our cares, you hastended, without loss of time, and with a zeal which nothing could arrest, to order public prayers in your dioceses. You did not content yourselves with the letters so full of devotion and love which you addressed to us, but, to the glory of your name and' your order, raising the epis copal voice, you published writings full of science and of piety, defending energetically the cause of our most holy religion, and stigmatis ing the religious attempts directed against the civil sovereignty of the Roman Church. Con stantly defending that sovereignty, you made it a glory to avow and to teach that, by a particular design of Divino Providence, who directs and go verns all things, it has been given to the Roman Pontiff, in order that, not being subject to any Civil Power, he may exercise in complete liberty, and without hindrance throughout the universe, the supreme charge of the Apostolic . Ministryi which has been divinely, Intrusted to him by Christ our Lord. - Instructed by your teaching, and in cited by your - example, the well-b e l ove d c hild r e n of the Catholic Church have taken, and are still adopting, every means to testify to us the same sen timents. From every part of the Catholic world we have received letters, the number of which can scarcely be counted, signed by ecclesiastics and by laics of every condition, of every rank, of every order, sometimes reaching to hundreds of thousand's, which, while expressing the most ardent sentiments of veneration and love for us, and for this chair of St. Peter, and the indignation felt by them at the audacious acts accomplished in certain of our pro vinces, declare that the patrimony of the blessed St. Peter shall be preserved inviolate in all its in tegrity, and protected from all attack. Many of those who signed these letters have, moreover, established with much force and knowledge that truth in published writings. These striking mani festations of your sentiments, and of the sentiments of the faithful, worthy of all honour and of all praise, and which will remain inscribed in letters of gold in the annals of the Catholic Church, have caused us such emotion th-at we could not, in our joy, refrain from crying out Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord lesus Christ, the Father of Mercy and God of all Consolation, who consoles us in our tribulation." The Pope then alludes to the Imperial letter : " Recently, as many of you already know, the Paris journal entitled the Moniteur published a letter of the Emperor of the French, replying to a letter from us, in which we earnestly prayed his Imperial Majesty to protect with his powerful patronage, in the Congress of Paris, the integrity and inviolability of the teinporal dominion of the Holy SZ3, and to free it from a criminal rebellion. Repeating in his letter certain advice which a short time before he offered us relative to the rebellious provinces of our Pontifical dominioas, the very exalted Emperor counsels us to renounce the pos session of those same pr ov i nces , fi n di ng i n suc h renunciation the only remedy for the present dis order of affairs." After remarking that it was impossible for him ,o remain silent atter such afftirs, his Holiness con- tinues:— " We hastened to reply te the same Enxperor, and in the apostolic liberty of our soul we clearly and openly declared to him that we could in no manner adhere to that counsel ; because, consider ing our dignity and that of the Holy See, it was attended with insurmountable difficulties, and con sidering our sacred character and the rights of this same See, which do not belong to the dynasty of any royal family, but to all Catholics. And at the same time we declared that we could not surrender what does not belong to us ; and that we perfectly understood that the victory which might be accorded to the revolted of the "Emilia would be a stimulant to commit the same attempts to the native and fo reign disturbers of the other provinces when they should witness the success of the rebels. And, among other things, we caused it to be made known to the same that •we cannot abdicate the aforesaid provinces of our Pontifical dominions without violating the solemn oaths which bind us, without exciting complaints and insurrection in the rest of our States, without doing an injury to all Catholics, and, finally, without weakening the rights not only of the princes of Italy who have been unjustly de spoiled of their domains, but also of all the princes of the Christian universe, who could not see with indifference the introduction of certain most perni cious principles. We do not omit to observe that his Majesty was not ignorant by what men, with what money, and what succour the recent attempts at rebellion have been excited and accomplished at nowise disposedex Bologna, Ravenna, and other tow ns , w hil e th e grea t of the people remain e d s t up ifi e d at t h ose expected, and which w ‘ intris i ng s, hae yr And, eY ewhi inasmuch ch tohe y m e ansn as the Most Serene Emperor thought that those provinces were to be abdicated by us, by reason of the seditious movements which him that this argument had no twuenreelyexrceiptelidedthteore from time to time, we oppor ments took place freq value, because it proveudenttoloymbuotchh, inas stibmeilasrtamteosvoef- Europe and elsewhere; and no one could use it as a he addressed to us a legitimate argument to reduce the peoossmesitstieodnstoofrea civil Government. Neither have w. mind the same Emperor that words in letter of a very different kindfrom bro h u i g s b l t a u st s before eonso the war in Italy—a letter which . lation and not affliction. And, from some the Imperial letter published in the jo u rnal afore said (the Moniteur ), we prayed his Majesty, name of the Church, that, in consideration of his inthe t own good and his own benefit, he should completely paternalciompletely remove our apprehension. Moved by charity, with which we are bound to watch over tthhaetewteernaalll should d y o o n f e a d ll ay ,w h e ay r e eca . to lle r d en t d o er hi a s account before the tribunal of Christ, and undergo a most severe judgment, and th a t therefore each of us ought to do energetically what depended on him to merit mercy rath er th an justice. strict inlnd "Such are the things which, among others, we answered to the very great Emperor of the French ; and we considered it our duty to communicate them to you, and to the whole Catholic universe, in order that you might know more and more that with the aid of God, and fulfilling the duty of our most im portant ministry, we try all without fear, and spare no effort to defend courageously the cause of reli gion and of justice; to maintain entire and invio late the civil power of the Roman Church, with its temporal possessions, and its rights, which apptr tain to the whole Catholic universe ; and, finally to guarantee the just cause of the other Princes." nellneo then govo en to dolmas lis readinet 0 to suffer the severest trials ; expresses his anguish at "the danger of the souls in his troubled provinces, where pestilential 'writings menace each day more deplorably the piety, the religion, the faith, and the purity of morals ;" exhorts those whom he addresses to defend zealously and incessantly the Catholic Church and the Holy See, "as well as the mainte nance of the civil power of the same Sce and of the patrimony of St. Peter ;" and concludes by exhort ing them to offer their prayers to Heaven for the attainment of these objects. The encyclical letter bears date the 19th inst. (From the Timm.) It must be said for the Emperor Napoleon that if he does sometimes perplex ustby doubtful policy and ambiguous language, when he has once taken a resolution there is no man who follows it out with more decision. But a little while ago everybody was in doubt which side he was about to espouse— whether he would throw his sword into the scale of Italy; or, as the letter of the Treaty of Villa franca seemed to promise, ledd himself—content with the renown of two splendid victories—to patching up the tattered glories of Austria. But the Emperor has made his election ; and, having mad. it, he follows it out to its legitimate conclu sion with no falt er i ng step. He has determined that he cannot do for the Popeavhat he will not do for Austria, and views the case' of the - Romagna exactly in the same light aehe-hadrbefore regarded the position of Modena, Parma, and Tuscany. Al though the Sovereign of a Roman Catholic State, he has refused to see any difference in the case of clearly ascertained misgovernment between the Pope and other Italian Princes. In his manner of dealing with the Emperor Na poleon the Pope is more than ordinarily fallible, even according to the rule which we apply to tem poral potentates. For ten years has he been main tained on his throne by French arms, and for ten years has he listened with a passive and immutable obstinacy to the constant admonitions which he has received to reform his Government and, redress the miseries of his people. No doubt, the Pope and his profound ecclesiastical advisers thought that they might safely despise the admonitions of a Prince newly seated on a precarious throne, and who would be sure to befriend them for the sake of a support from his clergy, so necessary to the permanency of his dynasty. They never thought that the time would come when a Prince who had endured so much would at last assume a tone better corresponding to the power which he disposes, and can scarcely now believe that the hand which has hitherto supported them can be so suddenly and so unceremoniously withdrawn. " The eldest son of the Church," " the Most Christian King," holds to the head of that Church pretty nearly the same language as he would to any temporal Prince. He tells him plainly that he has no choice but to acquiesce in the deci sion of his own revolted subjects, and that he will be no party to forcing back on the people of the Romagna a yoke which they have just shaken loose. To such an announcement the Pope replied at the beginning of this month with a conditional blessing, and now, at the end of the month, has arrived at the point of launching an encyclical letter against the Emperor, in which there is neither blessing nor condition, but a downright and straightforward de nunciation. The breach has widened rapidly, and the thunder of thejarms of this world is answered by those thunders of the Vatican which at one time or other have shaken the foundation of every throne in Europe. The Pope pats forward every consi deration except one that a deposed Prince could urge in his behalf.. His rights are inviolable, his patrimony is sacred, his dominions a re th e residence of the betel-of. the Church on earth, the necessary appanage - of -the 'successor of the . Fisherman of Galilee. Ie is bdund not to desert them, he is answerable forihe souls committed to his Charge, his fate ivould break the bonds of obedience which bind other subjects to other Sovereigns. There is in the letter every plea that could be put forward -ex cept the one that would avail the most—the argu ment that the continuance of the government of the Pope is necessary to the temporal well-being of his subjects. This he does not venture to assert, or rather he passes it by as a thing too far below the dignity of the Holy See to be worth stating at all. It might look too much like an admission that the inhabitants of the Romagna had a right to be consi dered as somethi g better than mere instruments for supporting the l'apal dignity ; indeed, the existence of his people once admitted, the Popo might be shocked with the blasphemous inference that he had a duty'to per form towards these same people, not only as priest, but as Sovereign. The Emperor of the French by no ateans flinches from the con troversy. His semi-official journals announce that, though the Emperor will still observe the utmost moderation towards the Popo, though he will even defend him by arms should he be menaced with ex pulsion from Rome ; yet, if the political authority of the Pope be everywhere else destined to experi ence another crisis, the responsibility will fall, not on France, but on himself. Nor is this all. The encyclical letter of the Pope appeared in the Univers, but it was the last song of the dying swan. The Univers has been suppressed. The right divine of the French Government to put down, in humble imitation of the Pope, all opinions which are not in strict accordance with its feelings or its interests, has been exercised without scruple, and the Univers is mute. The Pope has met a man as little disposed to allow his opinion to be contradicted as himself, and must feel, while he regrets the fate of his un fortunate advocate, some degree of satisfaction at this remarkable instance of the triumph of autho rity over opinion. Nay , we cannot doubt that our poor friend the Univers it se lf , did i ts un h ap py des tiny permit it to morali se on i ts own f a t e , wou ld pay the genuine tribute o f an extorte d an d unwill ing adrai:ation to the exercise of arbitrary power by which it has been overthrown. How often has England been reviled by the pen of M. Veuillot for the licentious freedom of its discussions, and for the encouragement it gave to heresy and anarchy by leaving its people utterly unprotected to judge between the most contradictory arguments on every subject ! The Univers fir once is on the Protestant aide ' an eldest son of the Churchw d with exactly fro m lyt r h o c same e measure of toleration as it would itself have ex tended to Protestants. Such reasoning as it has put forth is only valid so long as it is urged by the stronger party. The nroment that power is on the other side, the Univers itself must accept the position of a martyr to the rights of man and a sufferer in the cause of free discussion. For ourselves, we may very well afford to stand on one side, and leave the question to be fought out among Roman Catholics themselves, by the or thodox Emperor and his ally the Popo. There is no occasion for a Protestant nation to mingle in these broils. The Pope has no right to complain that to is who dissent from the religion of which he is the head he is nothing more than any other temporal Prince, to be measured by the same prin ciples and treated with the same fairness and im partiality. We never claim the right to interfere with his temporal sway, we deny his spiritual su premacy, and we may therefore fairly be excused if we leave him to settle matters as best he may with the occupant of the throne of St. Louis, Sovereign of 3 6,000,000 of his spiritual subjects. For our own part, we find it difficult to believe that the loss of temporalsovereignty will be as great an evil as the Pope seems to imagine. That bauble which a Dioclesian or a Charles V. could fling aside •as no longer worthy the hand of a wise man ought not to adhere too firmly to the grasp of a priest, and we confess that we are more aston ished than edified by the littleness of that faith which can believe that the preservation of Divine truth on earth really depends on the acci dent of possessing a few square leagues of desolate land or a few thousands of discontented subjects. We should have thought that, freed from the littleness of a paltry sovereignty, exempted from the cares of government, from the scandal of lot teries, and the disgrace of a systematic perversion of justice, the successor of St. Peter would have stood higher, not only in his own opinion, but in that of the Catholic w-,rld at large, and that his authority on matters connected with, the next world would have become more weighty exactly in proportion to his alienation from the pomps and follies of this. If, however, this be not so, and if the same power that makes him an infallible spiritual guide does not watch over the perpetuity of his temporal do minion, the Pope has no cause of complaint against the Protestant Powers, but must address himself to the Catholic subjects who will no longer tolerate his rule, and the Catholic Emperor who refuses any longer to be the instrument of his oppression.

[IDTIRTISIMINT.]—Mr. Benson, Litdgate-hill, kas JIM published a new illustrated pamphlet on watekes (tree by post for two !stamps). It should be read by all who are about baying a watch, as it contains prism clad important informs.- lien as to —Wkat wistek to law I where to boy it 1 and how to NO The report of the commissioners appointed to in quire into the corrupt proceedings for which the last election at Gloucester had become so notorious, was made public yesterday. The report is accom panied by the evidence taken before the commis sioners, and the whole forms a blue-book of the largest size, containing more than 000 pages. The evidence, however, has been already published, and the report alone remains to be examined. The commissioners begin by stating at length the circumstances out of which the election rose. They then, after premising that " the evidence which we have received places it beyond all doubt that. hardly had Sir R. Carden announced himself as a candi date before the agencies of bribery and treating were employed to secure his election," proceed to narrate the facts with which the public has been long familiar. The commissioners interrupt their narrative to say : " The evidence, as it affects the part taken by Sir W. Haytor and Mr. Moffatt, does not lead us to the conclusion that either of those gentle men was cognisant of the bribery to which the money entrusted to Thompson was subsequently applied. Had not Thompson been employed, and had any money reacned its destination through a banker, or been conveyed by a c l er k t o Gl ouces t er, as Mr. Price stated it to have been his intention when he requested that it might be sent by "pri vate hand," no suspicion could possibly have at tached either to Sir W. Hayter or Mr. Moffatt, neither of whom had any knowledge of Mr. Wal ton's intended proceedings, nor any motive for sanding the money to him in particular, other than the directions they had received from Mr. Price; and having regard to the circumstances under which Thompson was employed, the fact of his em ployment had in reality no influence on the transac tions which afterwards took place at Gloucester, and does not, in our opinion, make the case stronger against them than it would have been if the money had been sent by a clerk. Althongh we think Mr. Moffatt did not give proper effect to the suspicion which his interview with Thompson must have ex cited in his mind, yet we give credit to his emphatic statement that the money was sent down with a bona fide belief that it was to he spent in perfectly legal expenses.' " As regards Sir W. Hayter, we are of opinion that he—relying on the fact which had been com municated to him by Mr. Moffatt, that the money was provided at the instance and was to be sent down in obedience to the instructions of Mr. Price —relying also upon the character of Mr. Price as a guarantee for the legitimate expenditure of the money, and upon the character of Gilbert, that his application would have resulted in the selection of a responsible person—had no reason to infer that the money would be employed in any other than a legitimate manner, and did not intend that such a person as Thompson should he entrusted with its conveyance to Gloucester. We therefore exonerate both Sir vs'. Hayter and Mr. Moffatt from the charge of being accessories to the bribery which was sub sequently practised at Gloucester." The moral disorder, the commissioners afterwards say, which seemed to have attacked the people of Gloucester, was " the substitution of money for principle," and they give it as their opinion that bribery will not be checked until the briber is regarded by law, and punished as the more cul pable person than the receiver of the bribe. Fur ther on again they say :—" From what we have stated we think the deduction is inevitable that purity of election must be impossible so long eel voters, and the relatives of voters, are permitted to be employed as messengers at elections. Payments en account of chairing, cockades, ribbons, music, and banners, the fertile sources of bribery in earlier times, were made illegal by the 7th section of The Corrupt Practices Prevention Act, 1854,' and it seems surprising that the employment of messen gers, as it fell within the spirit, should not have been included within the prohibitory language of that section." The commissioners write as follows of Sir R. Carden :—" It is perfectly clear that at the time Sir R. Carden repaid Mr. Bernard the sum of .£5OO he had more than a suspicion that it had been ille• gaily spent, and when questioned by us as to whether he did not believe that it had been ex pended in bribery, he said, I had no right to sup pose that at all. I was sure it must have been spent improperly, but I cannot say I supposed it was spent in bribery ; it might have been a fce to some man ;' and when fat ther questioned as to the effect of the word 'improperly,' he said that by that word he meant illegally ;"1 ut as to bribery,' he added, I knew nothing of it whatever.' Although we think there is great reason to believe that Sir R. Carden must have known not only that the money had been illegally spent, but that it had been expended in the purchase of votes, we hesitate to come to the conclusion, in direct opposition to his own declaration to the contrary, that he was guilty of bribery. The payment to Mr. Bernard would have been a payment rendering him guilty of bribery, as falling within the words of the second section of the statute 17 and 18 Vic., c. 102—' who shall knowingly pay, or cause to be paid, any money to any person in discharge or repayment of any money wholly or in part expended in bribery,' and it would have been our duty to have found Sir R. Carden guilty of the offence of bribery if we could have satisfied ourselves that he knew at the time he repaid the money that bribery had been committed ; but as an illegal expeniture of money does not neces sarily imply the practice of bribery, and as we are un willing to question the truth of his statement as to the extent of his knowledge, we have not felt ourselves warranted in finding that he was guilty of that offence." Among the causes tending to engender corrups tion at Gloucester the commissioners point to the practice of employing a great number of attorneys on each side. They assert also " that the condition in life and the ostensible circumstances of many of the voters proved to have been bribed were not such as to afford any palliation of their conduct on the plea of poverty ; but that, on the contrary, men apparently possessed of property, and occupying tenements of value much beyond the minimum qualification for a household suffrage, received money for their vote." The conclusion of the report, in which the re sults of the inquiry are summed up, we give below. " We find that corrupt practices extensively pre vailed at the election in 1867. We find that Sir Robert Waller Carden, William Philip Price, and Admiral Sir Maurice F. F. Berkeley were not privy to or cognisant of the corrupt practices which prevailed at that election. We find that the per sons named in Schedule A, to this our report an nexed, were guilty of bribery at the election in 1857, by corruptly giving or promising money or other valuable consideration to voters, for the pure chase of their votes, or on account of their having voted, or by corruptly advancing money for the purpose of bribery. We find that the persons named in Schedule B, to this our report annexed, were guilty of bribery at the election in 1857, by receiving money or other valuable consideration for having given, or to induce them to give, or to refrain from giving, their votes. We find that the persons named in Schedule C, to this report an• flexed, were guilty of treating at the election in 1857. We find that corrupt practices extensively prevailed at the election in 1859. We find that 'William Philip Price and Charles James Monk were not privy to or cognisant of the corrupt prac tices which prevailed at that election. We find that the several persons named in the Schedule D, to this report annexed, were guilty of bribery at the election in 1859, by corruptly giving or promising money or other valuable considera tion to voters, for the purchase of their votes, or on account of their having voted, or by corruptly advancing money for the purpose of bribery. We find that the persons named in Sche dule E, to this report annexed, were guilty of bribery as the election in 1859, by receiving money or other valuable consideration for having given, or to induce them to give, or to refrain from giving their votes. We find that the persons named in Schedule F, to this report annexed, were guilty of treating at the election in 1859. We find that 151 persons named in Schedule G, to this report annexed, were employed as messengers or doorkeepers on the behalf of Sir Robert Carden at the election in 1859, and that those who are therein described as voters were colourably employed, and paid the sums set opposite to their names, for the purpose of inducing them to give their votes to Sir Robert Carden. We find that 112 persons were employed as messengers at the election in 1859, on behalf of Messrs. Price and Monk, and that the persons named in the Sche dule 11, to this report annexed, were voters or rela tives of voters, and that the voters were colourably employed, and were paid the sums set opposite their respective names, for the purpose of inducing them to give their votes for Messrs. Price and Monk. Finally, we report to your Majesty that, with rare exceptions, corrupt practices have for a long period prevailed at contested elections for members 0 aGrvc in Parliament far the city of Glaucutcr."

We smile at foreigners who entertain so grand an idea of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, yet we should be ourselves at a loss to assign to these func tionaries their real dignity and position. They are not the mere exaggeration and abuse that they seem. An indefinite feeling that the Corporation of London could not be included in the same category with our other municipal corporations led to its omission from the Municipal Reform Act. Sir G. C. Lewis ascribes this to the services rendered by the Corporation to the Liberal cause and to its liberal constitution. As it was the most popular body in the kingdom, so it seemed in no need of reform. This, however, is not so near the truth as Mr. Ayrton's account of the matter. The Corporation of London, he says, as originally constituted, was not a merely local body, but a union and representation of all the trading companies in the metropolis. It was not necessary, as we know, for the freemen of a com pany to reside, and thus it was compatible with the laws and principles of the Corporation that the whole of the metropolis should be included in the City of London. This made the City less of an anomaly and less of an abuse than it is commonly supposed. Yet, even in general opinion, the City is not a mere local constitution. Not only the civic functionaries, but most of the freemen who possess influence in City affairs, reside far out of the City bounds, and have for the sphere of their business the country at large, if not all the world. It is this which has sustained the City in its exclusive as sumption of the metropolitan character ; for if it had dwindled into a mere local tradition of old London, like the " City" of Paris, it svocld long ago have been laid under the axe of Reform. Before the Corporation, then, be further reformed, we ought to know exactly what it is and what it is not. It is not merely a representation of a twentieth of this metropolis, that by lapse and error of time has stolen the right and title of the rest. On the other hand, it cannot quite be classed with the universities, as a community just anchored to one spot, but riding free on the tides of life and the currents of thought. The City of London does not profess to represent the commerce and trade of all England. Yet it certainly represents, both in theory, in fact, and in public opinion, much more than is contained within the old City walls. To the difficulty of ascertaining exactly what the City of London is, what it affects to be, and what it ought to be, must be ascribed the delay in its reform. It comes before us in a double character, and when we take it in one it falls back on the other. If we treat it rig a local corporation, it appeals to its metropolitan and useful aspects. If we propose to carry out its metropolitan design, and include within its circle the two millions or three millions comprised within the modern metro polls, it then takes refuge behind the line of its old walls, and claims to be a favoured locality, Sir G. C. Lewis, as we understand, and as 111 r. Ayrton interprets his bill, would sink the City to the or dinary municipal class, deprive the freemen of their votes, end restrict the freedom of the City to £lO householders. This, of course, is either a singular blindness or a hold indifference to the lofty preten sions of the City. If actually carried out it must tend to lower the City and its functionaries. On the other hand, is Mr. Ayrton prepared to show that the freemen of the present day do really re represent the higher element of the City? Are they its metropolitan element? Are they the trading communities not so much of London as of England? If they are not—if they are rather a scandal and a weakness to the City, then it is a mere sentimental indulgence to retain them, and any sensible reform must extinguish the class. We do not fight for shadows in these days. It .is the present, not the past, that question. If the City of London can really, with the aid of Mr. Ayrton, assert its metropolitan character, affi liate all trades, and represent all the interests of manufacture and commerce, we shall then be pre pared to give it a wider reign, and to give the whole metropolis the rights of its citizenship. If, on the other hand, the City has no such territorial ambi tion, but wishes to be simply a v(3ry rich munici pality, surrounded by some others not so rich, then its most romantic champions must csee the necessity of treating it as we have done all the other corpo rations of the kingdom. The difficulty will be solved, in all likelihood, by practical remedies. The majority of the freemen below the class of £lO householders are no great strength or credit to the City companies, so they will therefore, probably be allowed to die away, till the order comes to an end. The coal dues and other ways in which the City taxes the surround ing metropolis or the public at large, will one by one expire. P u bli c o pi n i on i s qu i c k to dis cover an actual wron g , and wherever there is a payment or a loss without its equivalent we may be sure the end is n o t f ar . I n thi s wa y, either by Sir G. C. Lewis's bill or othe r me a s ures of the kind, the City will probably become at last a merely local municipality. Once in that state, it cannot long escape the consummation its friends havelong dreaded. It will find itself merged in a huge me tropolitan constitution. For our part, we are quite resigned to this catastrophe, shocking as it is to all civic feelings. It will not be in our time. For many a year to come the Lord Mayor's State coaoh, as well as Ma jesty's.lillerrum be its appointed rounds.

Once it shows a will of its own, and at variance with the interests ant opinions of the whole, it will receive a lesson. But these are speculative considerations.
