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

THE ►STATE OF TRADE. LEICESTER, Nov. 2.—The hosiery trade is in a vnry healthy condition, and the demand continues toler ably brisk for all articles suitable for the season. There has been an excellent business doing in most branches for some time past. At Hinckley and Loughborough the hosiery trade is in a satisfactory state. Yams are in fair request at high prices. The wool market is firm, without change in price. NOTTINGHAM, Nov. 2.—The lace trade remains exceedingly dull, and this week there has been less doing than in the preced ing. No really beneficial change is looked for ward to for the present. Buyers are merely satis fying their requirements, which are very limited. The silk branch is extremely flat, more so than for some time past ; consequently many hands are only partially employed. Stocks on hand continue fiat, and goods are still being produced, for the most part to order. In hosiery there is a fair amount of business doing for export; the demand for goods for home consumption is not active, but. there are numerous other orders on hand, and the operatives are on the whole well engaged. Yarns continue firm, and late prices are fully sustained. Silks are extremely high in price, and still have an upward tendency. TIIE CHAIRMANSHIP pF THE WEST KENT QUARTER SESSIONS.—The Earl of Romney has signified his intention of retiring from the chairmanship of the above sessions, which his lordship has so ably discharged sinco the year 1846. The election of his successor has .been fixed for the 29th instant. It is understood that Mr. Gathorne Hardy, M.P., will succeed him. A NEW CUNARD LINER.—The Cunard Company has just contracted with Messrs. Napier, of Glasgow, for the construction of an iron paddle steamer of 4,000 tons, with correspondino . horse-power. She is to be named the Scotia. and will be z in every way larger and more powerful than the Persia, which is of 3,500 tons. The new vessel, we understand, is expected to surpass anything afloat, both as regards speed and internal arrangements, and to sustain the reputation of tho Cunard line, as well as of the Clyde builders. Is CONSUMPTION INCURABLE P Invalids labouring under Consumptive Maladies, and families who have suffered from the ravages of Consumption (and what family in the empire is there who has not to deplore a loss caused by this scourge of the human race ?) will find a satisfactory answer to the question, " Is Consumption In curable," in an original article by Dr. DENIS Cnownt, , 35, Bruton-street, Berkeley-square, W. Published in the "household Physician," in numbers, one penny each, by G. Berger, 13, Holywell-street, Strand. From Ito 9 now ready. [AnvnnTrszmuNT.]—Mothers and nurses will find Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food admirably adapted to remove all disorders of the stomach and bowels to which infants anctchildren are at all times liable, such as indigestion, flatulency, colic, dysentery, diarrhoea, consti pation, debility and restlessness. It. strengthens, nou rishes, and is used with more advantage than milk in rearing infants. Wo quote a few out of many testimo nials :—" Amsterdam, 31st Dec., 1852.—Dear Sir,—Our child, up to the age of eleven weeks, was very delicate, and wasting away, and milk, sago, and arrowroot turned sour on its stomach, causing great suffering. We then fed it upon Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, which agreed won derfully with her ; and she is now, at the age of nine months, a plumy and lively little girl.—Daniel Servas." " Wilderva.nk, Holland, 20th Sept. 1853.—Dear Sir,—Our baby, which Heaven presented us with ten months back, was attacked, when four weeks dld, with a disease of the stomach and glands, by which our seven previous infants had all been carried off, and this last child seemed destined to follow its sisters and brothers before many days, for our doctor, a very able practitioner, had, during three weeks, exhausted all his skill, and was at a loss what to prescribe next, when he advised Du Barry's Rovalenta Arabica, which, I am happy to say, worked a great change for the better in a few days ; and in six weeks' time the child was perfectly well, and is now a cheerful blooming boy—a source of the greatest happiness to us all.—L.

GLASGOW AND LONDON: be worth it a hundred times over. (Loud cheers.) But effi ciency might be had without sacrificing economy, and when he compared the total cost of the French army and navy with ours he could come to no other conclusion than that in these great public departments in this country there was monstrous waste and extravagance. (Rear, hear.) We had an army of 122,000 men (not counting these in India, for they were paid there) and 50,000 militia, while the French had 500,000 men, and the navies of the two countries were said to be now too nearly equal, and yot cur army and navy cost us nearly a third more altogether than the Fr nch force cost them. lie drew these facts from returns laid before Parliament, and he believed thLt an instance which he found in these returns would bo conclusive evidence of the defective state of our military and naval administra tion. During the last two years of the war with Russia, when both countries were putting forth their strength, though in numbers of soldiers the French greatly exceeded us, the total charge for our armaments was £39,000,000, while that of the French at the same time was only £36,0)0,000. (Hear.) Now, if in two years we absolutely threw away £50,000,000 more than the French in doing much the same work, it seemed reasonable to conclude that this was the branch of the national expenditure in which a great saving might be made. (Mar, hear.) But we must not shut our eyes to the difficulty of effecting a reduc tion. The adoption of every modern improvement neces sitated constant progress and therefore Change in our arma ments. Beyond all considerations of economy we must make the country secure from the risk of invasion, the ad ♦antages of our insular position having been greatly impaired by steam. He was opposed to a large standing army in this country, the existence of 'which in all history had been found incompatible with a free constitution. (Hear, hear.) The most competent military officers as put ed us that if we had a regular army large enough to withstand the first shock of invasion there would be time enough for the whole country to rise_like one man in its defence, and shoild that time ever come, " Wha would fill a coward's grave, Wha sae base as be a slave ?" (Loud cheers.) He, for one, had felt it his duty to enrol himself as a volunteer, and he thought if we had a ♦olun teer force of 300,000 practised rifle shots in the British islands no foreigners would dare to trouble us. (Loud cheers) For his part, ho did not believe that invasion would be attempted. Exactly 100 years ago there was an invasion panic in this country, and we actually imported foreign mercenaries to help to defend us. But, small comparatively though our army was, no man in this country for a moment now dreamt that we could not defend ourselves. (Cheers.) Though he believed Napoleon was far too wise to quarrel with us, he looked with great suspicion on the continued increase of the French navy, and would never be content that the safety of our country should depend on the friendship of any foreign Power whatever, be he Emperor or President. (Loud cheers.) The question of peace or war with France had a ' European aspect as well as an English one. It was not more the difficulty of taking the Italian fortresses held by Austria than the menacing aspect of Germany that deter ' mined the French Emperor to conclude a peace before coin ' plating the programme with which he started. Unlike Britain, France had neighbours on both sides of her, and those on her northern and eastern borders were all living under free constitutional Governments, naturally jealous of military despotism. In numbers they exceeded the French nation, and in military force were at least their equal. If the French Emperor had already found it unsafe to disre gard the threats of Germany, he would probably picture to himself the condition of his undefended frontier while en gaged in a life and death struggle with England. (Hear, hear.) But if this did not teach him caution, could it be believed that at this time of day he could be so mad for "glory" as to break up the peaceful intercourse between two of the most populous and industrious nations on the globe ? For the mere money value to France of England, as her beat customer, was enormous. We figured in the exports and imports of France to the extent of £30,000,000, or nearly one-third of the whole business she did with Europe. (Hear.) He had lately met with a speech of Louis Philippe in 1813, from which he would read an ex tract, that might well be studied by the French Emperor : " War appears to me a malediction ; and war in Europe between civilized nations I regard as an absurdity. If the smaller States should desire it, we should prevent them ; and as peace between the great Powers become daily more consolidated, I hope, if I live a few years longer, that a general war in Europe will have become impossible." Events, however, had dissipated this dream, and so mysteri ous was the policy of the present ruler of France that we must be prepared to trust to ourselves, and not to him. (Cheers,) But we must also be able to maintain our power in all quarters of the globe to which our dominion or our commerce extended. It was the business of the Govern ment and of Parliament to take care that our intercourse in foreign countries was regulated by justice ; but it was our duty, also, to protect our officers and men, and to see that justice could be enforced. With regard to tho unfortu nate China defeat, he desired to reserve his opinion until they knew more clearly our position when the British Minister reached the Peiho. He had read Lord Elgin's correspondence and transactions with the ut• most can, and could not do otherwise than regret the rupture of a peace which that noble lord had con cluded with so much success. But our position in the Enst, bo it for good or ill, was such that we dared not accept a defeat. The existence of our Indian empire and our prestige in the East depended on a knowledge of the paramount power of our arms. If that belief should be shaken, our Indian empire would be again imperilled, our power in the Eastern Archipelago would be loosened, and the progress of civilisation through our commercial inter course would be obstructed, and might possibly be destroyed (Hear, hoar.) And not in the East only, but in the ex treme West we had interests to defend. We could not sub mit to a filibustering occupation of territory which had been referred to amicable arbitration. He had some confi dence in the good sense of the American President, and hoped that the filibustering general would be disavowed, and the peace between this country and the United States remain undisturbed. But with such various interests to protect and defend, it was clear that we must maintain a powerful force always at our disposal. Could we afford the cost? He maintained we could. Within the last 1.5 years the annual income from property and trade in England and Scotland alone had increased £28,000,000, which was equivalent in capital value to the amount of the na- tional debt. (Hear, hear.) If capitalised, the property and income of the three kingdoms, independent of our Indian empire and our colonies, amounted to the enor mous sum of £8,400,000,000. A tax of only ss. per cent. On that, for insurance, would raise £21,000,000, which was equal to the whole cost of our armaments. It was trifling, therefore, with interests of such magnitude either to talk despondingly of the resources of this country or to hesitate a moment about their defence on a question of cost. (Loud cheers.) He now came to the subject of raising therevenue, and the much disputed point of direct and indirect taxation. Direct taxes, as they were aware, included income and assessed taxes, land-tax, stamp, legacy, and succession duties. The indirect taxes were raised by the Customs and Excise, and, being paid by the importer or wholesale producer, and added to the price, were levied from us without our knowing it directly. The direct taxes might be said to be borne exclusively b z the upper and middle classes ; the indirect by the whole com munity. Both modes of taxation were in use in all coun tries with which we were acquainted, but the relative pro portions of the two varied in different countries. In no other country but ours had there probably ever been so large a proportion of the revenue raised by indirect taxa tion. (Hear, hear.) In no country in the world was pro perty so well protected or so lightly taxed. (Hear.) He had been able, from the papers laid before Parliament, to obtain accurate information on this point in regard to our own country and our two nearest neighbours, France and Belgium. While we raised one-third of our revenue from direct and two thirds from indirect taxes, France raised it in nearly equal proportions, and IBelgium in grbatly the largest proportinn from property. He would not detain them by going into details, but it could easily be shown that under our mode of taxation the man who lived by labour paid a much larger percentage of his earnings in taxes than ho who lived by income from property. (Hear, hear.) It was no answer to this to say that a man might, if he chose, live all his life and go to his grave with out being forced to pay a farthing of indirect taxes. Flour and oatmeal were untaxed—potatoes, salt, and water were untaxed. True, but of what use was our commerce if the people were to have no share of the comforts which it brought ? (Cheers.) How long would trade prosper if the people, the great consumers, were unable to buy ? If, then we should follow the example of our continental neighbours and adopt the principle that direct and indirect taxes should be levied in nearly equal proportions, we could at once take the second great step in free trade by abolishing the duties on tea and sugar—(cheers)—a boon to the mass of the people inferior only to'that of untaxed bread. (Loud cheers.) Every man, woman, and child in the- country would feel the benefit of the change in an immediate reduction of half the price. Nor would this be all, for freedom of trade in these great articles of consumption wont I at once diminish the cost of our revenue establishments by half a million a-year, while it would immensely promote our commerce, and thus give a new impetus to trade. (Cheers.) He had been elected by them to support the extension of liberal principles and a free-trade policy. He had now endeavoured to explain his views of our present position and prospects. It would be his duty as their representative to promote in every way in his power their public and local . interests, and to do what he could honestly to retain the confidence with which they had been pleased to intrust him. (Loud and continued cheering.) A unanimous vote of thanks was accorded to Mr. Caird at the conclusion of the proceedings, and an expreeei‘'n of the continued confidence of the cmtituency. ?HE lIARPE.R'S FERRY OUTBREAK. Accounts from Washington respecting the Har per's Ferry outbreak state that Brown and the other prisoners had been sent to Charleston, where they would be indicted and tried. Brown had made a confession to Governor Wise. Papers that have been found in his possession impli cated Gerrit Smith, Joshua Giddings, a•id other abolitionists who furnished money. Brown, whose wounds were not serious, says he had contem plated this movement since 1836. All his party were either killed or captured, except one. It is said that the papers do not show that the negroes at Harper's Ferry were partakers beforo the fact in the conspiracy. It had been thought proper not to publish yet the names of the con spirators, but it appears the whole affair was organised with considerable care. A constitution and code of rules were drawn up, to which the conspirators were bound to accede. A mani- festo by Gerrit Smith, directed in August last to the chairman of the Jerry rescuers, curiously foreshadows the outbreak and its attendant circum stances. Brown had provided arms sufficient for 1,500 men, and on search being made at his house a number of letters and other documents were found, among which was one from Frederick Douglass, and another from a lady containing the dollars "for the cause." The result of the engagement at the Ferry appears to have been six citizens and 15 insurgents killed, three insurgents wounded and five prisoners. The news of the outbreak caused great excitement and alarm in Washington, and precautions were taken in case of an outbreak occurring in that city. In the meantime, apprAhensions of further skir mishes were current in the neighbourhood of Har per's Ferry, and the citizens were arming. Colonel Lee went with a company of Marines to Harper's Ferry, but found, all quiet. On withdrawing the consternation of the people increased, and they were endeavouring to organise companies , for general defence when the last accounts left. The following are the " Provisional Constitution and Ordinances for the people of the United States" proposed by the rebels : " Whereas, slavery throughout its-entire exist- . ence in the United States is none other than the most barbarous, unprovoked and unjustifiable war of one portion of its citizens against another por tion, the only conditions of which are perpetual imprisonment and hopeless servitude, or absolute extermination, in utter disregard and violation of those eternal and self-evident truths set forth in our declaration of independence : " Therefore, we the citizens of the United States and the oppressed people, who, by a recent decision of the Supreme Court, are declared to have no rights which the white man is bound to respect, together with all the other people degraded by the laws thereof, do for the time being ordain and establish for ourselves the following provisional constitution and ordinances, the better to protect our people, property, lives, and liberties, and to govern our actions : " ART. I.—QUALIFICATIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP.— All persons of mature age, whether proscribed, op pressed, and enslaved citizens, or of proscribed and oppressed races of the United States, who shall agree to sustain and enforce the provisional consti tution and ordinances of organisation, together with all minor children of such persons, shall be held to be fully entitled to protection under the same.

They shall each be chosen in the same manner as the Irresident, and shall continue in offico until their places have been filled in the same manner by an election of citizens. " ARTS. 13 to 25 provide for the trial of the Pre sident and other officers and members of Congress, the impeachment of judges, the duties of the Presi dent and Vice-President, the punishment of crimes, army appointments, salaries. &c. These articles are not of special interest, and are therefore omitted. " ART. 2G.—TREATIES OF PEACE—Before any treaty of peace shall take full effect it shall be signed by the President, Vice-President, Commander-in-Chief, a majority of the House of Representatives, a majority of the Supreme Court, and a majority of all the general officers of the army.

Mr. Caird met his constituents at Dunfermline on Tues day evening in the Corn Exchange. The large hall was crowded. Provost Robertson took the chair. After some preliminary remarks in reference to the last session, and the defeat of the Derby Government, followed by the installation of a Liberal Administration, Mr. CAIRD said that the present Government came into power upon the question of giving a Reform Bili which should be a reality—not a sham, while their foreign policy was to be strict neutrality in the war in Italy, with no Aus trian sympathies. In so far as matters had yet gone, Lord John Russell had maintained that neutrality, and had shown a determination to be drawn into no Congress In which the feelings of the Italian people were not adequately represented. In that course he believed the Government possessed their warm approval, and he trusted that they would persevere in it till the noble Italian people, with their gallant leader, Garibaldi, secured for themselves that independent natural existence and position to which they were so justly entitled. (Cheers.) With regard to reform it would be the first business of the next session, for the Government were pledged to it. Its details would depend a good deal on the relative strength of parties. The last election had weakened the Liberal party in point of num bers, and in a corresponding degree had strengthened their opponents. A Liberal majority of 12 or 15 seemed all they could rely upon, for, though the numbers professing Liberal politics would show a large majority, many of them wore lukewarm. This close balance of party strength in the House of Commons gave great confidence to the Conserve , tive tendencies of the House of Lords. All this must bo considered by Government, and in framing their bill they would be obliged to give up extreme points on both sides in order co secure general support. There was this advantage in their present position—that the Tories had shown us how far they were prepared to go, and with regard to counties the extension they proposed to £lO occupiers, if duly guarded from landlord influence, would probably be deemed at present satisfactory. Their treatment of the borough franchise had been so universally condemned that little fear need now be entertained of a Tory opposition to some considerable extension. He had heard many of the Con servative party express an opinion that if there was to be extension at all they would as soon have universal suffrage as any ether limitation below £lO. Ho hoped, therefore, that the present Government would grant a large extension, wide enough to include the intelligent and respectable arti sans, who were as capable of forming an honest opinion as any class in the community. (Cheers.) He would also have the ballot if ho could got it, and the recent bribery exposures rendered it more than ever necessary that extension of tie suffrage should ba accompanied by the safeguard of the ballot. (Loud cheers.) Undoubtedly a partial disfran chisement of small constituencies would bo made, but it probably would fall far short of their just expectations. On this point a Liberal Government might take a useful hint from Scotland. Every burgh member she sent to Par liament was a Liberal, and not one of them represented less than 10,000 people. But there were not less than 127 members representing English and Irish constituencies each of them below 10,000 in population. It was in that direction that a Liberal Government should look for an in crease of their Liberal majority. (Cheers.) They had all seen in the newspapers the disgraceful details of bribery at Glocester and Wakefield. He had been a member of the Wakefield committee, and had supported the issuing of a commission, for, from the single day's inquiry which they had, he was persuaded that extensive bribery prevailed on both sides at the last election. As they were on the eve of a Reform Bill, it was right that such iniquities should be exposed, and some effectual remedy found. It would be better to put the seat up t auction and sell it to the highest bidder—(laughter)—dividing the price equally among the constituency, than to continue a system which threw the decision of the election into the hands of a body of venal electors. But, apart from the general subject of Reform, Scotland required from her representatives a united demand of equality with England both in the proportion of members and the privilege of the franchise. (Cheers.) Whether estimated by population or taxation, or by both put together, Scotland was entitled to at least 16 more members. But that right would net be secured unless the Scotch members pulled resolutely together, and demanded that one general Reform Bill for the United Kingdom, treating both coun tries precisely alike, should be introduced. (Loud cheers.) The Scotch members were in the habit of meeting to discuss Scotch measures. He hoped they would agree with him in thinking that this was a Scotch measure of such importance as ought to secure their united action, and a measure, not of a party character, but one in which Scotchmen of both par ties wore equally interested. (Loud cheers.) He had intro duced a measure to place Scotch and English counties on an equality in regard to the 40s. franchise, and he trusted that this franchise, which had been designated as the very leaven of the English counties, would be extended to Scot land. (Cheers.) Ho would now ask what they expected from Reform. If the detail of administration merely was considered, he believed that one party was as good as an other. But what they desired was to see the whole spirit of the Government animated by the principles of freedom of trade and freedom of conscience, and the taxation levied with perfect fairness on the property and trade of the coun try. (Cheers.) He did not take a gloomy view of the state of our finances, though the extravagant expenditure of several departments was discreditable to the House of Commons. But in regard to public expenditure it was in the naturo of things different from that of individuals, who regulated their outlay by their income. A great country like this, with interests to protect in every quarter of the globe, must regulate its expenditure by its requirements. (Hear.) But it was the duty of the House of Commons to prevent waste and extravagance, and to see that value was got for the public money. In further discussing this im portant branch of the business of Parliament, he would take the expenditure first and the revenue afterwards. Within the last six years the annual expenditure had increased by upwards of £10,000,000, and he could not anticipate any material diminu tion for many years to como. £50,000,000, or five-sixths of the whole, were comprised in the two great items—the interest of the national debt and the cost of the army and navy. The interest of the debt was upwards of £ 28 , 0 00,000—.02,000,000 a-year more than that of France, and borne by a people one-fourth loss numerous. Sir Robert Peel in 1813 reduced this burden by £2,000,000 a-year, but, except by the falling in of terminable annuities, there was little chance of a further reduction being for some time made. It was chiefly in the cost of the army and navy that the recent great increase had taken place. Now, he desired here to guard himself against the possibility of misappre hension, for, whatever the cost might be of defending the country or maintaining its honour, lle believed the stake to Z ®. ~ ~~ //Zz_-e_ ENV S PAPER I,' • TILE FRENCII PIZEss„, ~~ ~.. \Z .~ ~~i~l AV:4j The French law of the Press is a intft-ftFaifitei--.7 nal regulation with which we have nottiolt ifionr S duty frequently or pointedly to meddle. It is A part, and perhaps an indispensable part, of a system under which the French nation is content to live, and so long as they do not complain of it neither shall we. But the case is altered when ; a severe reflection on the English Government is made the ground of a warning; and when it is assumed that the good-will of a nation which allows to itself the most unlimited liberty in can vassing publicly its own acts and those of its neigh , bours is to be conciliated by censure or punishment directed against its critics, it is time for us to say a word on our own bchalf. So far as the warning recently given to the periodical in which have lately appeared the sentiments of M. de Montalem bert on the present state of Italian affairs may be considered as a proof of the good-will of the French Government, we appreciate the aet just in proportion as we appreciate that good-will.--that is, we need scarzely say, very highly ; but, so far as the warning seems to imply that there is any wish in this nation that the already impaired liberty of speech and writing in France should be still further curtailed in deference to our feel ings and susceptibilities, we beg entirely to repu diate the assumption. To say truth, such an attempt to spare our feelings comes a little too late. We have for years been the target at which a large portion of the French press have been in the habit of launching their arrows, the only mark at which they could aim with perfect harmlessness. By all means let that impunity continue. On our own ground, and on our own domestic topics, we ought to be ashamed if we are not a match for the whole press of France without requiring a too powerful Government to enter the lists in our behalf. In the field of reason and argument we are quite willing to confront even M. Dc Montalembert himself, and we desire no triumph over him except such as rea son and argument can give us. Little as we agree with him in his conclusions, he has not transgressed, nor, indeed, reached the limits of free and fair dis cussion, and we feel humiliated at being obliged to combat an open and honourable adversary, who, while we can write and say what we will, is obliged to measure every phrase and to exclude every con struction which a jealous and 'hostile Government can force upon his words, if he would not buy his rhetorical triumph at the expense of fine, of impri sonment, or of banishment. _ _ _ M. De Montalembert has written with his usual force and eloquence an appeal in favour of the Pope and his Government. As far as the restraint under which every political writer in France labours would permit, and further, indeed, as the result has proved, than was prudent, M. De Montalembert has expressed his disapproval of the conduct of the French Government. England, of course, could ex pect no better treatment. M. De Montalembert has, indeed, done us the justice to show, what can not well be denied, that for the present state of affairs in hely in general, and in the Stntes of the Church in particular, England is in no degree respon sible. We did all we could to prevent the war, we did nothing whatever to impede the peace, for which we were avowedly most anxious, and the whole of our offence is strictly limited to an open sympathy with the people of the Legations in their anxiety, if possible, to be emancipated from the leaden dzspotism of the Pope. M. de Montalembert considers the conduct of England to be ignoble. The word is harsh, but from such a man, on such a subject, we could ex pect nothing better. M. de Montalembert is of all men best calculated to represent the conflict be tween the spiritual and temporal elements. He is a complete duality, two souls in one body—a tem poral Montalembert, who is a of the school of Somers and "Walpole ; a spiritual Montalembert, whose views, whose prejudices, whose animosities, are not a hair's-breadth above the level of the monachism of what he delights to call the great ages of faith—the barbarous, the ignorant, we had almost said the brutal, middle times. He has made to himself an eclectic theory with regard to England. He admires, he extols her laws, her constitution, her free spirit, her gigantic progress ; he sees but one grievous fault in her—her Protestantism. This learned and acute man has actually persuaded him self that England is what she is, not in conse quence, but in spite of her respect for individual opinion and private judgment, and that, while her industrial, commercial, and martial greatness would remain the same, her moral and intellectual tone would be much raised if she could only be induced to exchange Protestantism for Catholicism. He actually believes that a nation which has risen to an unparalleled pitch of grandeur and prosperity by allowing to its people freer action, freer speech, and freer thought than have ever been enjoyed elsewhere, would sot the seal on its success by abandoning the very means by which it was at tained, by abstaining from the perusual of almost every great author she has produced, in obedience to the Index Expurgatorins, and by submitting her actions to the control of Bishops and Cardinals and her thoughts to the direction of monks and friars. This is M. de Montaletnbert's theory, but it is not ours. We believe that it is not in spite of, bat mainly by reason of her Protestantism, that Eng land has become what she is, and that it is not in spite of, but by reason o f her Catholicism that Italy has become what she is. If it be true that it is by the independence and self-reliance of individuals that England has attained her present greatness, we hold that whatever tends to diminish that inde pendence and self-reliance tends to diminish the elements of success. We cannot all be two persons distinct from each other—slaves one-half the day, and free the other half ; and as we have cast in our lot with freedom, we must even take it altogether and claim for our psople the right of selecting for themselves the means of their eternal as well as of their temporal welfare. M. de Montalembert tells us that the days of Wellington and Nelson, of Burke and Chatham have gone by, and he warns us against the folly, in cur declining state, of pro voking the wrath of 100,000,000 of sincere Catho lics. We should like. tie know why they , should have more to fear—now that we have re moved the temporal disabilities from the Roman Catholics, under which they groaned during the lives of the great men who, as M. de Montalembert truly tells us, are dead—from his devout 100,000,000 than we had at the time when we debarred our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects from the rights and duties of citizens. The temporalities of the Church of Rome must be valuable, indeed, in the eyes of her faithful sons, if they prize their retention more highly than the emancipation of their co-reli gionists from laws which pursued them through every period of their existence, and endeavoured, not in vain, to embitter and degrade their life from the cradle to the grave. From such a censor we may accept the epithet of ignoble without shame and without surprise. The position which M. de Montalembert takes up with regard to the question between the Pope and the Legations, when clearly defined, over throws itself. lie admits the right of resistance in case of misgovernment as broadly as anyesWhig member of the Convention which placed Wnliam and Mary en the throne of these Islands. lie does rot deny that there has been misgovernment, if not by, at any rate in the name of the Pope ; but he refuses altogether to permit the subjects of the Pope to be the judges whether the extent of that mis governmcnt justifies them in deposing their present ruler and placing the Government in other hands. To allow the people to judge of this would be, according to M. de Nlontalembert, to sap the founda tions of ail government. With whom, then, is the decision to lie ? Not with the Pope himself, for that would be to deny the right of resistance which M. de Montalembert distinctly admits ; nor yet with the misgoverned people, for whom, indeed, he has not the slightest sympathy, and of whose intolerable grievances he never says a single word from one end of his pamphlet to the other. They have the right of res:stance, but that right they must not exercise until their right is made clear to the apprehension of minds like that of M. de Montalembert himself ; and to him, and such as he, the right will never be clear, because he tells us distinctly that the spiritual and temporal power must be united in the Papal States in order that they may be separated elsewhere. The upshot of all this is that the sub jects of the Pope are alone, of all mankind, bound to submit with patience to any degree of tyranny, ' corruption, and injustice ; that they are selected from the rest of the human race to fill the honourable part of victims to the spiritual necessities of the foreign members of the Roman Catholic faith ; and that, once having been given to the Pope by Charle magne, and again secured in their allegiance by the presence of a French army, they are bound in fetters which they must never attempt to break. If it be ignoble to dissent from this view we are willing to undergo the stigma. 1% e have never held that it is our duty, either by secret intrigue or by open force, to deprive the Pope or any other bad Sovereign of a single subject or a single square mile of territory; but we are equally clear that the question whether the Government of the Pope is any longer endurable is a question not for M. de Montalembert, nor the Archbishop of Bordeaux, nor the Emperor Napoleon, nor the Emperor Francis, but for the people who have the misfortune to live under that Government.ion We claim for them the right to d ecide that que s, for themselves, and we fearlessly d e nounce e aet stuandbld human freedom the acts of any Government o y r the versive of the first principles of society doctrines of any Church that inalienable right.-7shall seek to deny them that indestructibl e and human Times. wed ,road; *eract in , to w ere e d o 0 ,boat g life' tlan d.
