" 23. The normal state of our atmosphere appears to be a regular alternation or circulation of currents between polar and tropical regions—the polar advancing along the earth's surface—the return current above at higher elevations. "24. Sometimes for weeks together a polar current pre vails—excessively broad—many thousand miles in width, and in latitude reaching from icy regions through the pe rennial ' trade winds' quite to the sub-solar zone. Tho more marked characteristics of this current, where it does not blow over an expanse of comparatively warm ocean, are relative cold, dryness and heaviness, with positive elec- MR.

In reply to questions Mr. Gibson said he was still an advocate for the ballot. As to the Reform Bill which the Government introduced both Liberals and Conservatives seemed determined to talk out the bill. The measure was one dealing more with the question of the extension of the suf frage than with the enfranchisement or disfranchise. ment of boroughs. At the present moment nobody seemed willing to support a Reform Bill, and every body was willing to quarrel if no bill wasintro duced. He stood where he did upon the question of reform.

The following remarks by Rear-Admiral Fitzroy appear in the Atheneum of Saturday : " Board of Trade, Nov. 12. " An alteration in the words or scales of barometers having been suggested, and daily tables of weather having been lately published, respecting which various questions have arisen, may I, as the person responsible for them, venture now to submit a few brief remarks on the subjects of these alterations and ' Weather Tables ?' " 1. As it is impossible to have many words on a baro meter scale that may be read easily without a lense, my aim has been to condense the purport of a few words, most wanted, in a systematic manner, as notes adverting to in • structions elsewhere, and of general application. " 2. By comparison with the meteorological reports now published daily one may ascertain the state of a barometer, iinerord; -- cir aympiesometer, or elevation above the sea level, by comparisons made between eight and nine in the morn ing, with two or three of the observations published, for the same time, and for places near, but on different sides. " 3. It is unnecessary to draw general attention to the use of such a continuous, uniform, and simultaneous series of observations as are available in these tables; but to prac tical seafaring members of our very maritime community —to pilots and fishermen, especially, who may possess weather-glasses and may take this easy method of verifying them while studying the weather with these daily reports, they should be found invaluable. " 4. Aneroids are now made more portable, so that a pilot or chief boatman may carry one in his pocket, as a railway guard carries his timekeeper; and, thus provided, pilots cruising for expected ships would be able to caution strangers arriving, if bad weather were impending, or give warning to coasters or fishing boats. "5. Harbours of refuge, however excellent and import ant, are not always accessible even when most wanted, as in snow, rain, or darkness, when neither land, nor buoy, nor even a lighthouse light can be seen. " 6. Not only do these daily statements of weather and indications of accurate instruments show, to all who are sufficiently interested to compare them day by day (aided perhaps by a map with wind-markers), the present and re cently past character of the weather generally, and in many specified places—but they enable one to foresee the probable nature of wind and weather, during the next day or two, even the next few following days. " 6. Recent comparisons of accumulated facts have in duced the conclusion that winds move in parallel currents, or circulate around a centrical area; and that whether the extension of such movement or circulation be immense, as between the tropics and the polar regions, or whether it be small even as the dust-whirl, the laws of circulation, or gyration,* are uniform, except in very rare and limited cases. " 8. When movememts of the atmosphere, such as those of the perennial trade-winds, or the very prevalent westerly winds, or anti-trade winds,'t are on the largest scale, the wind appears, at any one place, to move in straight lines, owing to the really circular arc having so little curvature ; but when circulation is comparatively limited, as in a cy clone, rapid changes in the wind's direction, are obvious to every observer. "9. When such movements are not horizontal, but in clined to the surface, more or less, perhaps nearly vertical, or partaking of varied directions, they are exceedingly diffi cult to trace, except by upper clouds seen crossing heavenly bodies, or by visits to high mountains, or by examining dustl. (so called) carried from far distant places through the higher regions of our atmosphere. " 10. Nevertheless, it appears from the facts ascertained, that the current (from polar regions) tends upward when intermediate between the tropics, and then as a tropical cur rent, eastward, while the lower or polar movement is south ward, and, apparently, westward. Apparently, because it is caused by the earth turning towards the east ; not by its own inclination or impulse, which is solely southerly. Near the equator it has almost acquired that equatorial, rather than centrifugal impetus, which, as it 'ism into an upper region, causes it to move eastward while returning towards the pole, but losing this impulse as it approaches that centre. " 11. This circulation, therefore, closely followed out, is similar to that of all the smaller cyclonic motions(ellipsones?) against watch-hands in north latitude, with the hands of a watch in the southern hemisphere. " 12. A practical, important, and hitherto unnoticed con sequence of these facts is, that lines drawn on a map at right angles to the right (left in south latitude) of the wind's direction towards any one facing it, all tend more or less toward the centrical area (whether oval, elliptic, or circular), around which there is then a movement of circu lation, more or less varying ; and, therefore, that a fair average of such lines of direction (radii), drawn from vari ous stations, will show (where they intersect each other most nearly) the approximate centre of such general circulation, which, even thus roughly ascertained, may enable any per son acquainted with cyclonology to complete the circles on paper, show how the wind is then blowing, its probable re lative strength at any parts around them, and over what countries or coasts the central part of such circulation will probably pass. " 13. Having this knowledge, it immediately follows that telegraphic warning may be sent in any direction reached by the wires, and that, occasionally, on the occurrence of very ominous signs, barometric and other—including al•• ways those of the heavens—such cautions may be given be fore storms as will tend to diminish the risks, and loss of life, so frequent on our exposed and tempestuous shores. " 14. It has been proved that storms, indeed all the greater circulations of atmosphere, between the tropics and the polar regions, have an eastward motion, bodily, while circulating around a centrical area. " 15. This universal motion (however irregular or modi fied, in some few localities, by exceptional and minor causes is independent of the regular circulation above-mentioned, which, when compressed by the earth's surface, or other wise, has the effect of movements like the ' parallel cur rents,' as first spoken of by Dove. These circulations of the polar and tropical currents, with their attendant pecu liarities of dry, cold, and heavy air, or moist, warm, and light air, raising or lowering the barometer, as they pass over any country, have probably caused the idea of ' atmo spheric waves' corresponding to barometrical oscillations, as well as to the gyrations' of wind, so well elucidated by that meteorologist. " 16. Such prolonged and excessively broad currents are always flowing, in nearly opposite directions, if side by side near the earth's surface, or parallel; but if overlapping, or entirely superposed, crossing in various directions, and more or less impinging on or intermingling with each other. These greater currents, incessantly in motion, occasion by their eddies the minor movements of cyclones, successive and perhaps numerous—one cyclone following, impinging on, or counteracting another, more or less, and thus caus ing those complicated changes of wind, sudden shifts, and apparent contradictions of the general law, which have so bafed some investigations, and have caused doubts as to the reliability and universality of the laws of storms. " 17. While these normal polar and tropical currents are respectively moving towards wide intertropical regions, and toward those very limited spaces around the poles of our world, they have, as has been stated, a general movement in mass, laterally, towards the east. " 18. The body of air raised (rarefied by warmth, loaded with vapour, and expanded) around the whole globe, about its equatorial bulk, is vastly greater than the aggregate of cold, dry, condensed and heavy air in the polar regions. This equatorial mass of air around the world has acquired a temporary impulse eastward with nearly the velocity of rotation in that zone, but prevented by gravitation from rising above a certain distance, pressed on by air in motion below (or behind), toward either pole it must go, to equi librate the atmosphere. " 19. "While moving toward the pole, retaining for a time, though gradually losing, its acquired eastward mo tion, which is continued only till the momentum due to its weight and velocity fails in effect towards the polar circles —there must be a continued impact, a constant impulsion from the westward against the polar current laterally, as it is drawn towards, and after the sub-solar rising part of the atmosphere. " 20. The polar current has no lateral impulse of its own —it is drawn towards the west, in appearance only, because the earth's surface has a greater rotatory velocity eastward than the polar current, proportionally to its approach to the equator • while, on the other hand, that current is gra dually acquiring equatorial motion. "21. Therefore the sensible effect on the whole system of circulation must be continual easterly progression, a general motion of the atmosphere towards the east, even in the lower (perennial) trade-winds, where its motion is only less different from that of the earth's surface than it is in higher latitudes. " 22. The continuous impulse of the tropical current east * Dove. t Herschel. Asko, or inineoria, trici ty. " 25. During such a normal condition of atmosphere the return, or tropical current, passed above, is only made evident to us by light upper clouds seen crossing heavenly bodies, and by the evidence of feeling, at high elevations, on mountains or in balloons. " 26. At other times, and by far the more prevalent, there is a more or less conflicting alternation, along the earth's surface, or in the upper air, of the great principal currents, in such a variety of proportion and combination, that observers, however careful and discriminating, cannot be otherwise than perplexed until more is ascertained, not only of the mechanical, but the chemical and electrical laws of the atmosphere. With the tropical current there is little, if any, positive electricity manifested in the air. Some times, and particularly with moist deposit, there is negative electricity in a greater or less degree. " 27. Part of the tropical current descends, between the latitudes of 20 and 35 degrees, turas towards the equator, and combines with the perennial or the periodical winds. Part flows on towards the polar region, invariably coming down, or descending towards the earth's surface, wherever the polar current fails; and then, having obtained access, it increases in breadth and strength till a revival of the polar element enables it to turn, overcome, and eventually displace its usurping antagonist. I "28. As the polar current diminishes or fails gradually while moving southward, and as the first descent of the tropical stream is more or less from the westward, the feeble extremities of the polar current are turned to the eastward, and, as they become combined with the advanc ing tropical stream, turn actually northward till lost—thus causing a rotary movement against watch-hands—a move ment as constant in the north hemisphere as its analogous motion, in the contrary direction, is general in southern latitudes. "29. When the polar current recovers energy, being re cruited from far remote sources, it usually presses suddenly and violently against the polar side of the tropical current, which is flowing from the southward and westward, mak ing it diverge in direction by curving away from the place of most pressure, and thus increasing the tendency to circulate, as above mentioned, in one direction rather than another. These currents combine, or mix, variously, in nature as well as in direction. There may be also an elec trical agency, not yet ascertained and traced distinctly, though frequently indicated. "30. In conclusion, let me remark that, although these appear to be general outlines in accordance with observed facts, it ought to bo borne in mind that similar features or peculiarities occur on a very small scale in some localities, and apparent exceptions or contradictions in others (such as temporary land or sea breezes, occasional gyrations of a local whirlwind or waterspout, contrary to usual law) ; so exceptional, however, that they may truly be said to prove the generality of those laws so necessary to be studied by seamen."

Last Evening the Right Hon. Thos. Milner Gib son, President of the Board of Trade, addressed his constituents at the Town-hall, Ashton-under-Lyne —the Mayor, Mr. B. M. Kenworthy, presided. Mr. M. GIBSON, on rising, was received with great applause. He said that the circumstances of his return rendered it a duty to appear before his constituents. It was a more difficult task than it appeared to give an account of the late session, because he could not be expected to condemn the Administration with which he was connected. He certainly should not praise the Administration, but would merely say that their earnest endeavour was to do the best for the country, although they had not succeeded in passing their measures of reform. There had not been a habit of late, he thought, of discrediting Parliamentary speaking; but it had been said by an eminent writer that Parliamentary government was a government by speaking, and so he believed it to be, and thought the debates might be lengthened ; they had a tendency to elicit the truth and ripen public opinion. There might have been failures during the last session, but there had been great commercial reforms, and reforms calcu lated to benefit the neighbourhood of Ashton under-Lyne. There had been misgivings as to the trade of the country ; but, although the export trade had grown ,to its present magnitude, it was at the present moment still increasing. In the first nine months of this year the value of the exports of British produce had been about £102,000,000. During the same nine months of 1859 the value of the exports was only £98,000,000. It was mar vellous how the export trade had increased from the adoption of free commercial principles. The cotton manufacture formed a large portion of these exports, being £48,000,000, and the shipping interest showed signs of improvement, because, comparing the corresponding nine months in 1860 and 1858, British tonnage cleared with cargoes increased by 785,522 tons, against an increase of 475,165 of foreign tonnage, so that they would see that British shipping was holding its own. These facts brought him to the commercial treaty with France, and they might rely on it the French Government had made, so far as their tariff was con cerned, a very great change ; in fact France had taken a greater step than any of the same kind taken by this country at any time. For this treaty the country was indebted to Mr. Cobdea for any benefit that might arise. There had been a great deal of misrepresentation made about the com mercial treaty. Some had said that England had been taken in, and that we had given a great deal and got very little in exchange. A change had been made in the British tariff, and we had given nobody anything. We had given an im pulse to the industry of this country ; at the same time, we had got the French Government to change their tariff. We had got two good things instead of one. There was no bargain to make any ex changes, but we were merely taking two good things at once instead of only one. If the French had not changed their tariff it would have been our duty to effect the changes which we had made in our tariff. As to the French wines a great deal had been said. It was said that Englishmen would not drink French wine ; but the increase in the imports arising from the treaty had been very con siderable, and had increased the revenue. It had been said that great distress had been occasioned at Coventry by the commercial treaty, but the Coventry weavers could not be made an exemption to the principle of free trade. The import of French ribands had only been small (15 per cent.), and he thought that by and by the effect of the treaty would be to put the Coventry riband trade on a sounder basis. The papermakers had raised a cry as to the importation of foreign paper, but there had been no shutting up of mills, and there had been no great importation of foreign paper, or any increase in the price of paper. The fact was the English papermakers were able to compete with any other papermakers in the world. He was speaking of the Customs on foreign papers, not of the Excise. It had been urged that it was not good policy to make commercial treaties with France, and there was a small sect who yet re garded France as our natural enemy. But he viewed this matter as one of the greatest events of the day, and one calculated to benefit this country more than any other which had occurred in recent years. He had observed a sensible remark made by Mr. Bright at Wakefield, that it was a strange thing that 30,000,000 of people in England and 36,000,000 of people in France, separated only by a narrow sea, could not just as well have as extensive a trade with each other as with people separated by the Atlantic. (Cheers.) We had a great trade with countries with more restricted tariffs than France, and he was satisfied that from this time the French tariff would satisfy the most expectant, as being the most liberal tariff in Europe except our own. With reference to the income-tax, he wished to say a word or two. It had been said by many—(oh)---- if it had not been for this Government and the French treaty we should not have had such a high income tax. Hu denied that, and believed they would have had a higher income-tax for many rea sons. The opponents of the income-tax had always said that it was a war tax, which meant that it was a tax to which the Government had recourse when the military and naval expenditure was very high. That expenditure was very high now, and the ques tion was, did this income-tax bear a larger propor tion to that expenditure than in past times ? He found that we did not pay as much of our war expen diture out of our income-tax as we used to do. Sir Robert Peel's income tax paid 32 per cent. of the war expenditure ; but the income tax at 10d. in the pound paid no more than 38 per cent., taking into account the supplementary vote of £3,000,000 for the war in China. He did not object to the income tax being called a war tax, but he objected to people calling it a war tax and yet refusing to allow it to be used for that purpose. He contended that with a vote of £30,000,000 fer naval and military pur poses a tenpenny income tax was not oat of pro portion. It had been represented that there had been some general transfer of indirect to direct taxation, and that the property of the country was paying more than its fair share of the burdens of the country, but he found that for every £22 paid by direct taxation during 1860 aid 1861 there would be £7B paid by direct taxation. If large naval and military armaments were necessary for the safety of the country, and there appeared to be a feeling in the country that they were, we could not avoid a large income tax. The effect of the former re ductions of taxation had been to realize more revenue from 12 excise duties than formerly from 27, and it was a mistake of the House of Lords to suppose that by getting rid of a tax they were get ting rid of so much revenue. With regard to the late question of the paper duty, he was still of opinion that it would be to the interest of the country to get rid of it, and the House of Lords in refusing to assent to the Paper Duty Bill made two blunders—one financial, and the other constitutional. He was sorry to say that the House of Commons was not sound upon that ques tion. He believed that one great inducement to the House of Lords for taking the course they did was that they believed the House of Commons was not in earnest, and that the measure would never have passed a third reading. The House of Com mons did not wish to embarrass the Government, and therefore left the House of Lords to deal with the bill. The evil of the precedent was, however, untouched; and in future such a precedent might possibly be used for some unconstitutional purpose. With regard to the foreign policy of the Govern ment, he should say very little. Their wish had been on the one hand to preserve peace between the great Powers of Europe, and at the same time to enable the Italians to regulate their own affairs ; and he believed that that policy had been success ful. What might be looming in the future was not for him to say, but he thought that there wa s growing up in Europe a stronger desire t o maintain peace. The exhausted finances of some countries and the commercial views of others were likely to prevent war for some time to come. Although the Government had adopted the policy of non-inter vention, they still sympathized with oppressed nations struggling for liberty and freedom. Hold ing office as he did he did not feel at liberty to act the prophet. He recanted none of his opinions upon public measures. He stood where he had done in all the political views which he had ex pressed to the constituents of Ashton, and it would , Of all the projects attributed to the Emperor the French not one will impress Englishmen with greater interest than the design now offered to pub lic discussion by the Parisian journals. It has been boldly maintained in a political pamphlet that the Emperor ought to be his own Pope; that it would be greatly to the advantage of France to be made independent of Rome, and that the supremacy of the Gallican Church ought, in the true interests of the nation, to be vested in the Crown. Short of doc trinal changes, in fact, the project thus mooted amounts to a French Reformation, and we are in vited to contemplate Napoleon 111. proceeding in the steps of our own Henry VIII. Of the degree of authenticity to be ascribed to this singular report we can say nothing. All that is known is that the scheme has been undoubtedly put forward in a publication which has been widely circulated, and that it has been contradicted in a contemptuous tone by a journal of some authority. This may be nothing at all, or it may be the beginning of an end; but, at any rate, the subject is broached, and and the idea will certainly not lack attention. On this side of the Channel there will, of course, be but one opinion on the advantage of national indepen dence. We are never tired of asserting that "No foreign priest, prince, or potentate hath, or ought to have, any power or authority within this realm of England." We observe and mark that wherever the Pope pretends to divide the dominions of a country with its Sovereign political evils invariably follow. If the Sovereign assumes an attitude of independence, his prelates are in a state of revolt ; if he cringes obsequiously to the power of Rome, his people are in a state of servitude; and the best that can happen is that the Pope may be in duced by what is termed a Concordat to put a definite limitation to his meddling on reasonable terms. On the principle at stake, therefore, we can entertain but one opinion. We are also aware, though the statement may create surprise, that a Sovereign of France would, in declaring the inde pendence of the Gallican Church, be only consum mating a traditional policy of the French Crown. Whether such an act, however, could be success fully accomplished without an innovation of theolo gical doctrine is a question on which history gives us little meat's of speaking. It is a notable and instructive fact that the first impulse of every European nation at the awakening of human intellect in the IGth century was to shake off the the thraldom which had been imposed by the Bishops of Rome. It is another striking fact, that the country which caught these views first of all was France. That great kingdom, always pro fessing, and often with reason, to be at the head of civilisation, discerned its national interest in this respect long before the truth flashed upon the rest of Christendom. It made a demonstration in the matter by the light of its own instincts before the actual Reformation of religion had so much as com menced. Twenty years at least before Henry VIII. began to threaten Clement, and five full years before Luther nailed his propositions to the church door at Wittenberg, France had been on the point of asserting her ecclesiastical independence. It was not until a later period that the other ruling Powers took up the question, but then they were ,all of one mind. Europe was virtually divided between three great Monarchs ; Charles V., the head of the house of Austria, was Emperor of Ger many and King of Spain ; Francis I, was King of France, and Henry VIII. of England, and the ag gregate dominion of these potentates left little other territory to be accounted for. Nothing is now more certain than that Charles, Henry, and Francis together were all ready to discard the Pope, and only hesitated from considerations of political interest. The fact was that the particular Sovereign who remained in communion with Rome could employ the power of that Court, such as it was, against his heretical rivals, and no one of the players liked to throw away such a possible card. It is curious enough that the Prince least disposed to break with the Pope was he who actually consummated the rupture. Henry was the most sincere Catholic of the three—the very "Defender of the Faith," and it seemed far more probable 330 years ago that France would repudiate the Papal jurisdiction than that such a step would be taken by England. In fact, the French kings never actually lost the idea. Francis would probably have allied himself with Henry:in the spiritual revolt, if he had not bee* seduced by an offer of the Pope to promote French interests in Italy. Henry IV. and Sully, of course, balanced the considerations for and against the measure ; even Louis XIV. had his glimpses of doubt, and Voltaire tells us plainly that in Louis XV.'s time, when the quarrels between Jesuits and Jansenists were at their worst, people had begun to declare outright that if the Pope made his autho rity so onerous France would know how to dispense with it, as so many other countries had done before. As far, therefore, as political traditions are con cerned, there is no question but that Louis Napoleon might supersede Pius IX. with ample warrant; and though the maxims of the great Gallican divines would require rather arbitrary extension before they could be made to justify such an " in- dependence" as is now talked of, the scheme would still express only a favourite idea of French states men in all ages. We are compelled, however, to observe that France is a Catholic country, and that there is no instance of a eatholic country subsisting in independence of the Pope. Doubtless it was the theory of Henry VIII.'s councillors, and especially so of that Monarch himself, that the question of religious orthodoxy might be kept entirely separate from that of spiritual jurisdiction, but the event proved the contrary, and the idea with which the original actors in the matter had consoled them selves was soon scattered to the winds. The Church of England became a new, as well as an indepen dent communion, and, though it escaped certain extreme opinions, it was a Reformed Church still. When the Pope was east off the Protestants became supreme. If the Pope were cast off in France, would the French clergy remain where they are ? We are perhaps discussing the question too seri ously, though it is impossible to say what realities may not lurk under the very lightest essays of Parisian pamphleteering. One assertion, however, we venture to make, and that is that the Emperor Napoleon could hardly entertain a project more conducive to his popularity in this country than that which, whether with or without reason, is now ascribed to him.

So it has always been in such cases. In the present instance the French prelates have been hitherto Louis Napoleon's very humble servants. They are now disposed to be come in preference the servants of their other mas ter—the Pope, and it is thus that the crisis has ar rived. Wherever the Papal Court has the power of meddling it will either meddle or have its for bearance dearly bought. Will it try its strength in France ? And, if it d oes,, how will it be encoun tered ? These perhaps aro the questions which suggested the argument trio have reviewed this morning. —Times. WEATHER IN THE NORTlR.—Winter has set in round Edinburgh in earnest.

O r e fear we must add that in at least one import ant ra ' sPeet his example is at variance with his teaching. He tells us, or rather our working classes, that one reason by the condition of artisans, labourers, and house hold servants has improved even more in the United States than here, and that there does not exist there the vast mass of poverty which we have to depl,ore here, is the very light taxation of that countr.V. Twenty millions of people pay £60,000,000 less; than we do. That vast sum of money, instead of' being wasted, eaten, and sunk by army and navy, officials, and creditors, is enjoyed by the commu nity at large, or invested in profitable enterprises. This, if true, would be a very great fact. By the rule of Cocker each head of the community has £3 more every year to spend in personal comforts, instead of seeing it glittering on the back of 0, dragoon, or tossed on the ocean, or spent in park equipages and fashionable entertainments. Here is a practical consideration, level to the capacity of a parish schoolboy old enough to know the meaning of a shilling a week all round the poor man's family. Who will hold up his hand for war when he knows that it, and the expensive institu tions which it entails, can only be maintained by making every man with a wife and eight children. pay 10s. a week for this express purpose —or, rather, £3O a year, which is more that 11s. 6d, a week for the whole family ? Can it be said that this is a too abstract and high-flown argu ment ? Tell the labourer that if he likes war, with all its apparatus of held marshals, generals, and colonels, its costly artillery and commissariat, its lavish waste at home and sinful destruction abroad, he must pay a poll-tax of more than a shil ling a week for every soul of his family towards the amount, and he will count the cost, says Mr. Bright, and consider whether it is worth that to slay thousands of our fellow-creatures, and so ex tort from them what they .may perhaps be per suaded to give up for love or for reason. Unfortunately, this argument, so simple, so trium phant, does not weigh a feather with Mr. Bright himself—it has not, and it will not. We believe this gentleman to care quite as much for the working man as the working man cares for himself ; and, if Mr. Bright himself does not care a fig for a reason, we hold it to be a certain proof that no working man will care for it either. There is no statesman in this country who puts cost out of the question so utterly in a matter of national dignity and influence as Lord Palmerston ; and yet Mr. Bright, having helped to bring him into power, contributed largely to turn him out simply and solely for not showing sufficient fight to the Emperor of the French; and having turned him out for that reason, helped to bring him in again on his general merits as a man to maintain the honour of his country. At this mo ment Mr. Bright we are happy to say is a supporter of Lord Palmerston, and pretty sure to render him substantial assistance, so long as hi s Cabiiet takes the Liberal line, which is now the warlike and ag gressive line in Europe. We will suppose a csasey which is not, indeed, likely, but as likely as many that may be imagined. What if Austria, aided by Russia, were to secure her present footing in Italy, and perhaps something more, and were to purchase the favour of France by winking at a movement on the Rhine; would Mr. Bright support Ministers a day after they had announced their intention to see this game played out to the end ? No, he cer tainly would not. Even at a most indefinite cost per head of the whole population, he would insist on an armed remonstrance, that could only result in an armed interference. Mr. Bright would show as warlike a front as Cromwell ever did. He would think it of vastly more importance that England should not stand by while Italy was sold in the market for a bond slave than that the English labourer should have more meat in his pot ;and stouter cloth on his back, or that his wife should have a better Sunday dress, a warmer bed to lie on, or a carpet on her parlour floor. What then would be the value of his Lessons on Political Economy, teaching little boys and girls that they must not countenance war, because every year of it was a shilling a-week out of everybody's pocket, when it was known the great Professor himself had abandoned his own doctrine ? But, were this known, or not, we may be sure that the generous influence that had demolished the Professor's own stronger reason and card-castle economy would have just the same effect on the weaker and more excitable judgment of the working classes. The first picture of an alleged Austrian butchery on the banks of the Po would have ten thousand times more effect than all the dogmatic and arithmetical wisdom of the " First Lessons on Taxation and Political Economy." But may not something be done with another ocial error of almost equal importance—with Trades' Unions ? On this point Mr. Bright asks, very shrewdly, how it is that the wages of domestic service have increased so much of late years, when it gives no opportunity of union. A servant gets a good footing and a good understanding, is appre ciated, and asks for an advance, which the master or mistress knows it to be worth while to make. We are not sure that the artisans and factory people will feel it to be a parallel case ; but, if any consi deration has weight with unionists and turnouts, this will. Mr. Bright, however, is of opinion that much may be done by school instruction. This must, of course, be by abstract principles and sentiments, expressed simply, and with familiar illustrations: No demonstration, however, except the fact, will ever persuade 20,000 unionists, constituting the majority of a town, that they cannot obtain better terms from their employers if they go the right way to work. All that can be hoped for is, that they may be imbued from their childhood with principles and sentiments adverse to excessive and unreasonable demands. For example, let it be inculcated that one class is not likely to have an interest conflicting with- that of another ; let it be established that we arc all one family, that a conspiracy is itself an act of violence, as unjust to individual workpeople as it is to the employers and capitalists, who are not to be allowed to use their own judgment in the matter ; let it be shown that the right principle is competition—that is, a com petition of industry and skill on the part of the men, and a competition of enterprise and skill on the part of the employer. No doubt, all this and more may be put into very simple language, illus trated by examples, and recommended by generous sentiments. Well, let it be tried. A good book on the subject will be worth many . good speeches. Yet we rremember that the Christian morality, rightly interpreted, includes all this and more, wit only partial success. The ascetic , or pietneestd m eled. I pwith ts ciples of the Gospel, are not only b t ects g eo in the e h with eart preternatural doctrines take deep . roo s e g much eagerness ; they are even exa one another which shall sh ow the severest form of and understanding of the pple vi godliness, or intrude t he dee p est into Divine my steries.
