It - is not the power of wealth, or the force of numbers, or the just influence of commanding talents and philosophic theories. It is not the oneness of sentiment by which a great orator may bind together the hearts of thousands. It is not'the voice of the preacher as he argues sublime precepts on sacred authority. It is no one thing. It is the conclusion men arrive at as they look at one another face to face, and with the fullest possibleknowledge of one another's characters, and circumstances, and opinions, interchange argu ments on matters of practical import. Wherever this is found there is English life, whether in the halls of Westminster or in the humblest vestry-room. The boast of England, and certainly its wisdom and its strength, are free utterances ; that is, the free utterances of men who dare to look each other in the face, to meet eye with eye, and tongue with tongue. The battles of the constitution are in Par liament, and, compared with them, all the public meetings in the country, though good in their way, and with their use, are but holyday making, mere parades, scenes on a prepared stage. Our own re lations must be much more with the Legislature than with any such system of one-sided demonstrations. We appreciate them, and hope ever to do full justice to them. If it is to depend on us, not a good word spoken in them shall ever fall to the ground. We reverence them as a national iastitntion. But we can never see more than they claim, and what they claim is only the one-sided utterance and recognition of sentiments and facts occupying either very debatable ground or cumbering the mere approach to the grand argument ( before us. -We should doubt whether it be at all possible for the platform ever to gain a more deliberative and Parliamentary character, nor is it necessary. We have a free Parliament and a free press, and can well allow the platform to retain its old one-sided character. In the lines it has chosen for itself it has still much to do ; it may contribute materials and foster opinion, and even hasten the settlement of Reform. ANGLO -AMERICAN TlME S.—Foreigners accuse the English of making a parade of Free Trade while their institutions show little of the prin ciples they profess. Free Trade is advocated so far as it suits the interests of England, who boasts her enlightenment for the very freedom by which she increases her gains. The free import of food abso lutely required, and the free export of the manufac tures which enables her to pay, is the extent of her Free-Trade principles. England is a country of close professions and close oligarchies. Notwith standing its eternal base of truth, the Church of England sank to the lowest ebb through its exclu siveness. No matter how high the enthusiasm, how clear the call, there was neither lot nor part in the English Ministry to the aspirant not educated at one of our universities and qualified for ordina tion through set forms. Had St. Paul existed in the days of Wesley there was no place in the Church for him. High talent and religious fervour were driven to Dissent, which, but for the illibe rality of our institutions, would have been a tower of strength to the Church. A heaven-born general could only command in the British army who bad served in that force as an ensign. No military genius could be used in saving England in an ex tremity outside the regular grades of our land forces. The heaven-born genius must be born with a silver spoon in his mouth, or there is scarcely any combination of accidents by which he can attain the rank at an age to make the position useful to his coun try. England is covered with guild societies and crafts so exclusive that all beyond them are outsiders. Last week we reviewed a pamphlet written by Dr. Hunter on the proposed " Medical Acts Amend ment Bill." The General Medical Council desire to add two clauses to the act which would practi cally exclude all physicians not educated in Eng land from practising in the kingdom. The effect of these clauses would be to make it an offence against common law for a physician regularly qualified by a foreign or colonial university to prescribe for a pa tient. Even the assumption of the title granted by the university would render the practitioner liable to a fine. There are in the United Kingdom 19 bodies qualified to issue licences for the practice of medicine. Without a licence from one of these, no foreign physician, however celebrated, could legally practise here. The physician who attains abroad to the greatest eminence would be unable, under this law, to carryhis talents to the wider field of London without returning to school and submitting to the examination for medical students. Abroad the English physician is received on equal terms by the native practitioners, and the act professes to extend the English licenses so as to be operative in all our colonies. Thus, while it bars a Canadian physician from practising in England, it places the English physician on equal terms with a Colo nial physican in his own country. We are not aware that any peculiar gifts have been 'bestowed on British medical men—that their interests are keener, their study deeper, or their practice more extensive. if it were so they would have little to fear from competition, while they might elevate to a higher grade the schools of medicine abroad. Dr. Hunter shows the comparative value of Canadian, American, and British Diplomas, from which he would argue that the reverse of superiority is really the case.

Both in Canada and in the United States a thorough examination is required in all branches. The Royal College of. Surgeons stands lowest in its requirements. Dr. Hunter contends that it is but fair that England should adopt the same liberal system in force both in Canada and in the States. The diploma granted by a properly constituted college should be universally recognised. He believes that the exclusiveness of English physicians will lead to a similar illiberal policy abroad, and that the English profession will lose vastly more than it can gain. Few Foreign or Colonial practitioners seek this country as a field for the exercise of their profession, while the reverse is continually the case. There is no science more studied by the human race than that of medicine. From our cradle to our grave we are in the hands of a doctor—a class who have most benefitted the human race, at the same time that it has inflicted on suffering humanity so many misfortunes. Though surgery has advanced to an exact science, medicine still remains veiled in comparative obscurity. The difficulties that surround physic require the com bined efforts of all who have made this subject their profession to remove. In no other can there be so complete a brotherhood. Facts proved in one climate should be studied and known in all, and the freest intercourse should be encouraged to elucidate the problems which for successive generations have puzzled the most learned. It is not by erecting barriers and exciting jealousy and rivalry that these dark questions will receive their solution. An Act which cannot fail to raise indignation in America cannot forward the interest of the profession in England, and we trust that Parliament will pause before it sanctions by law the illiberal designs of the General Council of Medical Education. THE POLITIC AL CRISIS IN AMERICA. The Star, noticing President Johnson's (or, as the Star prefers to speak of him, " Johnson's ") speech at Detroit, Michigan, in the course of his tour through the States, says the people of the United States have now to cope with,a second attack upon their liberties scarcely less menacing, and certainly not less audacious, than that which began under Jefferson Davis. Having put down the treason of a slaveholders' re bellion, they have now to deal with the treason of a despot. Indeed it would avail but little to the American people that, after a vast outpouring of their treasures and their blood, they had crushed slavcowners in the field, if after all they were to be overborne by them in Congress. The Star has no fear for the result. The self-styled Moses of the negro race has turned traitor to them and to the Constitution under which he lives, but the free and loyal American people will do justice to the negro and remain faithful to their country. The Advertiser holds that if the President succeeds in maintaining the Union with out a renewal of civil war it will not be due to any personal considerations, or to any individual in fluence from great services and high previous standing. It will illustrate a political miracle if with such meagre antecedents, a chance politician, accidentally elevated to the highest place, can effect so much. Military aud Naval lutellience. The following General Order on the subject of examinations for the Staff College has been issued from the Horse Guards, by command of the Duke of Cambridge : " With reference to the last paragraph of section 5 of the ' Staff College Regulations,' published with the General Order, No. 886, dated the 23d of May, 1866, it is hereby notified to officers of the army that the following cam paigns will form the subject of examination in military history and geography at the examination for admission to the Staff College, to be held in July, 1867:-1. Campaign of 1812 in Russia, with a detailed account of the.passage of the Beresina. Campaign of 1813 in the Peninsula, with the battle of Vittoria in detail. N.B.—Candidates will be .expected to have au accurate knowledge of the geography of the seat of war in both campaign; with reference more especially to military operations, and to make a rough sketch of any portion of it that may be required, or of either of the battle-fields named. " Officers will receive, on application to the secretary to the Council of Military Education, a copy of tho synopsis of the studies pursued at the Staff College. " By command of his Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding-in Chief, " WILLIAM PAULET, Adjt. Gen." A notification has been issued from the Quarter master-General's department, signed by Lieut.-Gen. Sir J. Hope Grant, G.C.8., announcing that in consequence of it frequently happening that after the conveyance of troops coastwise the brokers of the steamers employed prefer claims on the Admi ralty for the quantity of baggage conveyed in excess of that allowed by the regulations, although it is specified in the tender that such excess shall be paid for by the troops themselves, his Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding-in -Chief directs that on all occasions on which extra baggage may be conveyed with troops coastwise, the commanding officer is to take such stepS as will insure the freight for such extra baggage being paid on the spot, before or immediately after the troops leave the vessel. The order also states that, by direction of the Duke of Cambridge, when extra baggage is about to be embarked, the local military authorities at the port of embarkation are to communicate to the naval officers the quantity, if known to them, of extra baggage intended to be shipped, in order that proper arrangements may be made for its stowage. The Government has chartered the sailing ship Akbar for the conveyance of reinforcements of va rious infantry troops to Ceylon. - On board the twin screw ship Far East, Henry Jones commander, which arrived at Cork on the 23d from Hong Kong, Mauritius, and the Cape, with the right wing of the 67th Regiment, were Col. J. W. Thomas, C. 8., in command, 323 men, 23 women, and 18 children, and the following officers J. W. Thomas, C.B. ; Brevet-Ma jor R. H. Wood, wife, and four children ; Brevet- Major E. A. Lennon, V.C., .wife, and one child; Acting Paymaster, Brevet-Major W. F. Stehelin, wife, and two children ; Surg. J. Lamprey, Lieut. and Adjt. A. J. Poole, Capt. E. B. Knowles ; Lieuts. R. E. E. Jarvis, L. N. Mosse, and W. D. Lloyd ; Ensigns E. D. Thompson, J. E. Blundell, G. W. B. Anderson, C. F. Underwood, D. M. Pot ter, and F. F. E. Knox. The only casualties have been the death of one man of the Royal Engineers, of consumption, between China and Mauritius, and one of the 67th from the Cape. Two births oc curred on board. The 11th were landed in good health at Algoa Bay. The Far East was chartered at Hong Kong in April last to convey the right wing of the 11th to Algoa Bay, but was detained at Hong Kong waiting the arrival of twelve men of the Royal Engineers from Japan until the 3rd of June, when she left the Mauritius and Algoa Bay, touching at Anger on the 15th, and arriving at the Mauritius on the Ist of July, leaving again on the 7th, and reaching Algoa Bay on the 15th, where she was detained till the 26th waiting for the 67th Regiment, which were under canvas at Graham's Town. She called at Simon's Bay for stores and coals, at St. Helena for water, and St. Vincent's for coals, having been under steam from the Cape, meeting with north-west and west winds in the region of the south-east trades till past St. Helena. Since leaving St. Vincent north-east winds had been encountered. These, with fine weather, prolonged the passage, which was tedious from the Cape. The vessel's bottom had become very foul from lying at anchor so long in Hongkong and Algoa Bay. The following vessels spoken :—Aug. 2, lat. 33.29 S., long. 16.46 E., the ship Oanita, from Akyab for Cork, for orders, all well ; Aug. 3, lat. 32.19 S., long. 14.58 E., the bark Golden Fleece, standing to westward ; Aug. 25, lat. 4.24 N., long. 20.5 W., the ship Tangier, of Liverpool, 43 days out ; Aug. 30, lat. 13.52 N., long. 22.45 W., the bark Hero of the Nile, from Algoa Bay for London, 39 days out. The ship White Adder was taking'in stores at Simon's Bay on the Ist of August. The Imperial Russian screw corvette Griden, 14 guns (uuarmoured), Capt. S. Kenarzewski, anchored at Spithead yesterday morning from Cronstadt, en route for the Pacific and the Amoor river, and ex changed the usual honorary salutes with the flagship ofthe Port Admiral and the saluting battery of the garrison. Mr. G. Baker, the Russian Vice-Consul at Portsmouth, paid an official visit to the ship on her arrival, and on leaving was saluted from the Griden's battery with 7 guns. Capt. Kenarzewski afterwards landed at Portsmouth, and, accompanied by the Vice-Consul, called officially upon Lieut.- General Sir George Buller, K.C.8., Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas S. Pasley, K.C.8., and Rear-Admiral Superintendent G: G. Wellesley, the Military and Naval Commanders-in-Chief at Portsmouth. The Griden will discharge her powder and shell into ordnance lighters at Spithead, and afterwards steam into Portsmouth harbour to remedy a few defects prior to resuming her voyage to the Pacific. The officers of H.M.S. Excellent, gunnery ship at Portsmouth, gave a grand ball on board the Calcutta line-of-battle ship (a vessel attached to the Excellent for drill purposes) alongside the great south jetty of Portsmouth Dockyard this evening. Orders have been received at Portsmouth Dock yard to furnish the Admiralty with estimates of the expense of removing the engines and boilers from the two three-deckers Marlborough and Prince of Wales and of the replacing of their decks. We presume by this o r d er the Admiralty contemplate utilizing these v esse l s in another form than their re ported conversion to turret ships, possibly as bar- Ty eahrceh cFairy bar rack ships at Hongkong, for w hich, i ndeed, they are admirably adapted. I f this surmis e should prove to be correct the 800 horse- p ower engines of both ships would of course, with certai n requ i re d a lt era tions and repairs, become available for other ships. The cost of the machin ery when originally ' fitted must have been a b o ut £40,000 each vessel. An order received at Portsmouth Dockyard yes terday from the Admiralty —one among the many o thers daily received on v ar i ous su bj ects — was in vested with that extr aor di nary d egree o f mys tery by the officials whi c h i s so o f ten w i tnesse d in the Government yards, and which is painful alike to the outside spectator and the sharers in the mystery. In the prese n t i ns t ance it t urn ed out that the Con troller's department of the navy have it in contem plation to build a small gunboat at Por tsm o uth to use up certain material which cannot be m ade available for any other purpose . This was t h e great mystery, therefore, wh ich so o pp ress ed the official mind yesterday at P ortsmouth.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—We are entering on the usual season for public meetings, and in the general dearth of sub jects, Parliamentary Reform should have an advan tage. As foreign politics are out of the question, or no longer our part ; as the Jamaica question has almost got to a dead lock, and a hundred other con troversies have been happily laid at rest, there really is nothing better to talk about than Reform. The Blue-books of last session have gone to the house keeper or the cheesemonger ; and we all start afresh. We may therefore venture some sort of fore ca§t of the shape Reform will assume in public dis cussion, and bow it will be, or ought to be, treated. The platform has its proper and natural vocation, very distinguishable from that of the statesman, or the Legislature, or the press, or the pulpit, or the man who writes pamphlets and books. Its vocation is dictated by the necessity of circumstances, as well as by the faculties and aspirations that find their vent in this mode of utterance. A public meeting consists of men who, whether speakers or listeners, feel a general agreement, and expect to hear only one side, and that maintained on fully recognised principles. It would he impossible to hold a public meeting except en these conditions •, for no de bate would be possible, in three short hours, in the presence of a multitude. The speakers must suppress even minor differences, and express only the points which they hold in common. The immediate object is to bring to a common opinion men who can holdopinions, unless it be to give a vote w hich they have often and do nothing more, given before, and which w ill no t s ignify much. Under the circumstances all that can be done is to treat the matter in hand in an elementary way ; to offer first principles and arithmetical illustrations. The veriest schoolboy can apprehend palpable facts, and go into the mathematics of a subject, or thestatistics, as we should call them. That is what is done at a public meeting. For example, the evidence given before the Commissions sitting at the four boroughs now on trial would supply palpable facts for a public meeting. The Census and the recent Electoral Returns would supply both facts and figures that almost any ordinary meeting would understand, as far as they go. Anybody can understand the anomaly of four thousand people returning the same number of members as three-quarters of a million ; or three thousand returning one member, and thirty thou sand none. All this is pure arithmetic, such as is taught in the lowest classes in our village schools, and apprehended by the child five years old, sent for sugar, barm, or la r d t o the village shop. A s this is almost all that a public meeting can do, it ought to be done ; but it ought also to be done well. The first principles of political representation, as it existsion British soil, ought to be put forth purely, dispassionately, and with sufficient breadth to arrest the attention and fix the interest. Our public orators will.be quite right—indeed, what else can they do ?—to urge the general claim to an electoral vote, the self-governing nature and customs of our race, the wisdom of interesting a whole people in politics, the comparative security against corruption afforded by numbers, and their freedom from the most deliberate and mercenary form of bribery, the sense of injustice that must always be inflicted by great inequalities in the distribution of the fran chise, the cruelty of intimidation, and such matters open in fact, to the intelligence of a child. It is no disparagement to public meetings to say that they can do little more than p u t b e f ore th e w o r ld, and establish in due prominence, wh a t are called facts and figures, and the abstract sentiments with which all of us, taught or untaught, must approach the subject. Thus it comes to pass that the public meeting really has more affinity with the pulpit, or the writer of books and pamphlets, than with Par liament, or the daily press, or any institution affect ing a deliberate and governing character. We, for example, could not possibly content ourselves with the part we have assigned to a public meeting. We are compelled to take into consideration-a great deal more than facts, figures, statistics, and the axioms, if there be any, of political mathematics. We can defy a class strong enough to retort the defiance with more effect. We m ust consider a good deal moreoffer than advice ab st ract certainclaims not to and natural rights, for we must also take into account the probable use that will be made of votes and political power. We must deal with facts, but not confine ourselves to facts of the palpable class, for the ways and manners', of parties, classes, and individuals may Pscape the apprehension of a thultitude, but yet be veritable facts and serious elements in the calculation. We cannot help feeling more practical responsibility than a thousand or two men assembled after their day eloquent speaker who kindly olitical scale. The truth is, we feel ourselves in council ; we are taking part, hearthema in n the p not in a one-sided demonstration, but in a g rea t national debate. We must hear e ver y s p ea k er, an d be ready to reply, as well as to justify w h a t we h ave said. We are all but in Parliament; some say, wishess w to ork raise to something more. At all events, our responsibility is that of parliament so long as we pretend to give it honest advice, and so long as we at tempt to calculate how much can or should be done. And what is the governing principle, the so-called self-government, of this country ? It is not the triumph of any one principle, or the predominance PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. The Emperor at Biarritz. BIARRITZ, Sept. 21. The Emperor arrived here this afternoon at 3.35. The visit had been so often announced, and so often postponed for the last few weeks, that people began to doubt whether it would take place at all ; and, indeed, whether it was ever seriously contemplated during the present season, which is already far ad vanced. His Majesty's recent illness and the many cares and anxieties which have lately pressed upon him sufficiently account for the delay without the necessity of seeking any other cause. It was, how ever, formally made known here this morning by proclamation from the Mayor of Biarritz, as well as by beat of drum, to the general satisfaction, that the Emperor would be at the Imperial residence this afternoon. He left Paris at 11 o'clock last night, and arrived at the Bayonne station at 3, doing the journey in 16 hours, the same as the express train. There are two ways of proceeding to Biarritz from Bayonne,—by the railroad, which goes directly to the Spanish frontier, and by the old coach road to the same, both through a charming country. By the former you get to the Biarritz station in 12 or 15 minutes, where omnibuses, caleches, &c., are in waiting to take up the passengers, and bring them in about ten minutes to this now far-famed bathing-‘ place. By the latter crowds of vehicles of every size and form, from the stately char-a-banc, with its fine horses, to the small, low, pony carriage of basket-work (known as paniers-a-salade), whirl you off in 20 minutes to the end of your journey. The rapidity with which Biarritz is expanding may be judged by the fact that 45 new and handsome houses have been built for the accommodation of visitors within the last 12 months, and there is every pros pect of an increase. I must add that Biarritz boasts, too, of a newspaper published three times a week during the season, which is of four months. Before Biarritz was directly connected by rail with Bayonne the Emperor used to go by the old coach road to Spain, but since then, and to avoid the necessity of changing carriages, by rail. In the expectation that his Majesty would continue to rail without getting out at the faubourg of St. Esprit a handsome canopy of crimson cloth and a carpeted platform were erected at the station for his recep tion, and triumphal arches on the bit of road leading from it to Biarritz. The Emperor, however, is par tial to taking people by surprise, and on this occa sion he got out at St. Esprit, where the carriages just arrived in time, and he and the persons in at tendance, including the Commissary of Police attached to his person, drove along the old road, and arrived at the residence precisely at 3.35, the hour indicated. Except a few small detachments of mounted gendarmes stationed between the village of Anglet, where the road branches off to Biarritz, midway between it and Bayonne, there was no mili tary display. The proclamation posted up early in the, morning from the Mayor of Biarritz, announc ing to the public the Emperor's approaching arrival, suggested an enthusiastic reception, but recommended that as his Majesty was coming to Biarritz for com plete repose it would be well not to trouble him dur ing his stay by any indiscreet demonstrations. The recommendation of the worthy functionary, who is at the same time Mayor and doctor of the town, was complied with even from the outset, for the demon strations were by no means unnecessarily noisy or indiscreet. The Emperor looked pale and tired, which is not to be wondered at, considering his re cent illness and the weighty cares and anxieties press ing on his mind fOr some months past. Crowds of people were assembled outside the gates of the chateau, and saluted him quietly but respectfully as he passed. A few minutes after he alighted from his carriage he appeared on the terrace, and seemed to inhale with delight the pure air of the ocean and the mountains, which, it is hoped, will soon re-establish him in health. The weather was lovely. The houses of Biarritz were decorated with flags, and the illu minations were general after nightfall. There are crowds of strangers here. Many Rus sians and Spaniards, some Americans, and a sprink ling. of English. Among the persons of note is Marshal O'Donnell, late Prime Minister of Spain. It is not true, as some of the French, papers have stated, that the Marshal has taken a house at Pau for the winter. Re intends spending the winter in Paris, unless something extraordinary occurs to call him back to Spain.
