For such the home in Liberia is prepared—the career is open, and the warmest invitation given. By the introduction of superior negroes the Republic is strengthened, and becomes more fitted for a larger immigration of their kind. What America has been to Europe, Liberia will be to the negro, and if on a small scale still in a far higher degree. Its very name is a warm letter of invitation. To men just emancipated from generations of thraldom the " land of the free" offers an asylum in the cradle of _ their race, from which their fathers were torn and carried into slavery. Thus the mission of the Con sul-General is twofold. It is, as we have before said, on the one hand a mission of diplomacy, and on the other hand a mission of philanthropy. As the accredited plenipotentiary of a free State, he appeals to the Governments of Europe—and, as the humane and Christian agent of a noble scheme, to redeem, as far as in us lies, the wrong done by our forefathers—he appeals to the citizens of the coun . tries. He has succeeded in establishing treaties of commerce, amity, and navigation with Great Bri tain, Hamburgh, France, Belgium, Ilolland, Den-. mark, Lubec, the United States of America, Italy, Portugal, the Republic of Hayti, Sweden, Norway, and some other Powers. Articles have been in serted with the Republic of Hayti and the Kingdom of Portugal which assimilate to and give power to punish as piracy the slave trade. His efforts are directed to procure the insertion of similar articles into the treaties with other Powers, so that the slave trade may be denounced by international law as piracy ; and it is to be hoped that he may succeed in obtaining the mutual right of search. which -would more ,thou . any other measure tend to tlie'suppression - of inhuman traffic. If a great Free Negro Republic can . be built up—and little doubt now remains Of the ability of these people to establish such a State\t„ —a power will be fostered which will cut at the root of negro slavery, which will elevate the negro , character, and silence for ever those who hold the lowest opinions on the capacity of the race. Liberia -' is to the negro the promised land, and GERARD RAL STON will long be remembered by them as their benefactor.—Anglo- merican Times. j, 42s Es 48 3 is 421 js 421 y, and 4s .Per goer. week ; r kinds No. 23,210.

CONVEYANCING LECTURES, by RICHARD HORTON SMITH, Esq., Barrister - at - Law. These lectures, like th ose on the same subject delivered during the past year, of which they will be a continuation, it is proposed to render of as practical a nature as may be. Like them, also, they will be devoted to the discussion, at greater or less length, as the importance of the several subjects shall seem to demand, and the time at disposal will allow, of some of the points in the Principles and Practice of Conveyancing most frequently occurring in actual business. The Course will consist of Twelve Lectures, and will be commenced with a recapitulation of the last Course so far as it regarded the practical work of drawing Assurances. It is then proposed to discuss the assurances in use on sales of copyholds and leaseholds; and it is expected that these subjects, and that of assurances in use on sales of chattels personal, will occupy the first five lectures. The remainder of the Course will be devoted to the consideration of Mort gages, Settlements, Wills, and Miscellaneous Instruments, to be taken in that. order. Davidson's Precedents and Forms in Conveyancing, 'amongst other established text books, will be most fre quently referred to. EQUITY LECTURES, by EBENEZER CHARLES, Esq., Barrister-at-Law.

E. W. WILLIAMSON, Secretary. Ti' f;lCiety's 1866. WI .0j eror's mind has been busy of late ; more especially since the results of the recent campaign in Bohemia -have brought into.evidence the vast superibrity of the Prussian over the Anstrikui - Military system. 'Some sueltinquiry as is: now instituted was said to . have been platined,by the Emperor previous to ; bit departnre for Biarritz ; aio the French journals „at that titne"filled their - columns with - extracts from 'the writings Of Prince Louis Napoleon, proving how early the attention of the present French Monarch was eiigageil in researches of that nature. All this is sulliOie2iVto explain the interest taken by the Em- Pcr:or;in this Platter, and leaves little doubt that the Conimission of Ministers, Marshals, and Generals, over which his Majesty has reserved to himself the - presidency, iS;Called`npon to eicaminea scheme sug, Bested by the Emperor himself. The alleged object of the intended reform is to :place the forces of the Empire sa,- condition to insure the defence of =the Country, and maintain the political influence . l-of France.-- Possibly the measure was a wider and higher scope • for we o not believe that either for.: defensive offensive Parposes France could-be better armed thhe is at present ; :and as to flueoce, .his recent expedition, to Mexico and Rome ought greatly toAiaVe Shaken the faith of Napoleon 111.. in the efficiency of -" big battalions." The ob . - ject we feel "1 1 oined., to attribute to the . Imperil* : scheme i5,,5 . 4"-a reform gas might indeed increase the rearstren—gat of the' national armament, but would better - shpt the means to the end ; a scheme Which would enable the-State to keep up the largeFiA possible army at the least possible cost. - For tl4. purpose hardly_ anything better can be suggested • than atradaptatiOn of the Prussian system. This systeni, as we well know, originated with the neces • sitYAn which :60 year's - ago - a Prussian War Ministel was-placed of limiting his standing _artily to 40,000 men, and yet hating it-in his power to take the fiekt at a moment's notice with three times that number, of combatants. The present French farce nutuberS i when:on the peacalooting, 404,155 men and 86,368i' horses, and. catk,be riiscil on ,anywarlikeemergencY to 757,798 men a9d l'V,236horses..-BY*g4nising it upon 6oniethinVikeir:Pritssian model, - the army in time of peaee might be reduced-to 300,000 and • - i t Y+4 in the holiii - 751411 1 1T ir system modelled on similar principles may he made" very simple. It should consist in training every man to be a soldier; but allowing him to be a citizen the moment his training is complete. Of course, it supposes in the State the right to the military service of every subject, or, in other words, it is based on the law of conscriptiona law so universally estab lished throughout the European continent that the generation born within the century is now fully re signed to it. A man on the Continent belongs to his country, while with us it is the country that be longs to the man ; with us the subject is at all times free to betake himself and his moveable wealth to any part of the world he pleases ; the State having no actual hold on anything besides his real estate. On the Continent the citizen is still adscriptus glebas up to a certain period of his life, according to the requirements of this very law of conscription. As the service is compulsory, it is evident that the citizen who does not choose the army as his profes sion should be kept in the ranks for as short a period as possible ; not one day longer, in fact, than enough to qualify him for active service. It is, we believe, calculated that six months' re gular instruction will fit a soldier for service in the Infantry, while in three years the best trooper or artilleryman may be thoroughly trained. To some such period should the compulsory service of the citizen be limited ; and the men should afterwards be kept up to th degree of proficiency acquired by such an apprenticeship, both by weekly drill and by a few weeks' yearly muster in camp after the Swiss fashion. The whole male population would thus be organised into a Militia liable to be pressed into service during the period from the 20th to the 50th year, but divisible into categories according to age, and mustered up into battalions out of which picked corps of amateur riflemen and artillerymen could be drawn, on the plan of our own Volunteers. This national force, however, which, for mere defensive purposes, ought to suffice every nation, could and should also be looked upon as the nursery for the standing army in those countries in which such an institution is required. The standing army might to a great extent be recruited out of the Militia by voluntary enlistment, but were such a means to be found inadequate to the want, the men should be draughted by lot out of the Militia, taking, of course, the first draught among the young men of the first category, and leaving the rest for the reserves. Any man who had served his time in the standing army should, upon his dismissal, still fall back again into the ranks of the Militia, under the same liabilities to a recall under the standards. Such are the views, grounded on the strictest grin ' ciples of equality, that the Prussian system of Army, Landwehr, and Landstarm suggests to military men in Continental States. The system does .not, of course, admit of indiscriminate application, and the Emperor Napoleon, who is supposed to entertain some designs of this description, must be aware of the difficulties with which - too close an imitation of the Prussian model would have to contend in his dominions. The French law of conscription is binding on all citizens, but it admits of draught by lot and of exemption by substitutes. The absolute, inexorable equality of the Pzussian law would strike the French as unnecessarily harsh. The liability to service for nearly a lifetime would also clash with the nature and habits of the French people. The Frenchman is aware that as a soldier he owes a debt to his country. He presents himself to the Maire of his village as a conscript, draws his lot, and if ho gets a low number, and has no money for a remplacant, he goes out and serves his time ; but, that being done, he looks upon himself as a free man, resumes his peaceful avocations, marries, and is safe from future molestation. To prolong the ' present period of service would be almost impracti cable in France. Still, the principle that only half or one-third of the army need be under arms, and the rest may be kept at home as a reserve, may be found easily compatible even with the present French period of service • all that is required being simply a reduction of the period to one-half or one-third of its present duration, and a dismissal under con dition of a possible recal for the remai nder of the term. Instead of 100 conscripts, all bound to nine c years' full service, for instance, let th e draught arbs, of 300, with the obligation of only thr ia e h ei t e to active service, and with six more ye:trs' l be called upon.

Emperor could not think of mustering, but he may hope to find a more efficientd means of insuring the defence of the territory an maintaining the political influence of France by an armed nation. It is by an armed nation, in contradistinction to an army, that Prussia achieved those late successes by the high-sounding report of which the slumbers of some Frenchmen are still disturbed. In an aggressive war it seems to have struck the Emperor Napoleon that the heroic army even of France could scarcely be more than a match . for the armed nation of Prussia. Let, therefore, France be, like Prussia, organised into an armed nation, and when that task is accomplished the occasions for and the incentives to aggressive wars will be found to diminish, together with the numbers of the standing armies. POST.—Although the telegram from Vienna which we published yesterday left blanks to be filled up, the reading between its lines was plainly portentous. In this country the first thenght which it inspired could only be one of thankfulness. The dream: stance that an Englishman had probably saved the life of the Austrian Kaiser. intensified the sympathy and the indignation which the incident excited. But it would be idle to attempt to conceal the fact that Austria is rocking under the shock of a politi cal earthquake. As far as the situation can be ap preciated, there are difficulties in the way of recon structing the system that was shattered at Sadowa which seem to be insurmountable. Apparently a 'lint ship is settling fast. The events which have 'dated Europe have unhinged the Austrian empire. frame is quivering, as it were, in the struggle life- life on almost any conditions. The prin le of nationality has penetrated to its heart and :alysed its strong arm. Austria depended on her army,and that army, formidable as it was accounted, 'las been broken like a reed..

There is no reason to suppose that the Hungarians wish to sever theireeamection with the House of Hapsburg, but the misfortune is that other nationalities have to be conciliated. In fact, the Treaty of Prague may be said to have pro vided for the disintegration of the Austrian Em pire, and it follows, as the moral of the history of the war it concluded, that the Kaiser should have ceded and cut away everything which could in any . wise divide the strength he possessed, and also that Prussia is more indebted to Italy than she may care to own. Gerard Ralstorvz Mision from Liberia to Europe. Mankind owes much to the energy of the Anglo- Saxon race, but their virtues have been marred by some great crimes. Races have been blotted out to make way for the grasping intruder. Rues have been subjugated to gratify his lust of greed ; but of all his crimes that of negro slavery is written blackest in the black list. For every sin re corded we have paid a heavy penalty, and for the deepest crime has been exacted the most fearful retribution. If an account could be drawn up showing the profits resulting from the employment of the African as the Anglo-Saxon's slave, and the cost at which his labour was ob tained, we believe that even in the sordid point of material gains the balance would show that both England and America were heavy losers by the iniquitous system. If we and our forefathers have perpetrated great crimes, we have a satisfaction not accorded to every nation, that philanthropists and regenerators have arisen from among us to redeem our transgressions. In us the negro has found his heaviest taskmaster, but in us also he has found his warmest and most enlightened friend. Probably no people have ever excited such wide spread sympathy and compassion among the friends of liberty as the negro race. With certain per sons, both in Great Britain and in the United States, the wrongs of the black man have become so ab sorbing as almost to have grown 'into a mono mania. Every effort of their lives has been directed to obliterate the blot with which our forefathers have stained this page of our his tory. 'To that number belongs Mr. GERARD RALSTON, Consul-General for Liberia, whose diplomatic mission to Europe is in reality a a mission of philanthropy. Before this distin guished Philadelphian had a hair on his face he had enlisted in the negro's cause. Now his hairs are grey, but his cause is the same and his energy un abated. Ile may be said to be the father of the Liberian Republic—the " land of the free ;" and his name is associated in the minds of the whole people, who have confided to him their interests in Europe, with all that is noble, generous, and good.

The soil is fertile and adapted for those pro ducts the negroes have been accustomed to raise. The rivers give him ample water carriage, and the sea-board, well situated for a trade with Europe, offers a cheap means of transport to the chief marts of the world.

It is thus made apparent that the United States, after paying all the expenses of the army, naval and civil government, and mak ing full provision for the payment of interest on its public debt, has a surplus left greater, we believe, in extent than the entire revenue of any country in the world, Great Britain alone excepted !

We have, ever since the close of the war for the Union contended that a moderate payment in liquidation of the public debt —say from fifty to one hundred millions of dollars a year, would be the wisest financial policy, giving, as it would, satisfactory evidence to the world of the national solvency, and so maintaining the public credit, and we see no reason to change our convic tions upon this subject. We should therefore be glad to see a very material abatement proposed in the taxation of the country. In looking for the direction in which this reduction should be made, we find in the preliminary report in the United States revenue commissioner valuable suggestions. This document advocates (to use its own words) " such a revision of the present internal revenue system as will look to an entire exemption of the manufacturing industry of the United States. f rom all c ep U. all direct taxation; distilled and fermented abolition or and maintains the wisdom of the a like the income tobacco, and possibly a few other articles 11'1:174 speedy reduction of all those w hich, The amount tax, fall chiefly upon realised wealth."inanufactures is, we derived from the direct tax f in the condition of the public revenue millions n w s h a i cyheawre; have and t that this tax may Other suggestions we I be at once safely p w r e es heree believe,n presented to modifications in the abountosdeovlueisnbhtychdl.:cv ercleenx:inse t revenue t as he country.
