By Order of the Directors, WILLIAM SAMUEL DOWNES, Actuary. L AW characterises our times. The disease of Europe is a deep-seated opposition to the principle of Right. Struggles against Right, occasional rebel lion against Right, can call forth great but only passing agitation. But a successful opposition to the principle of Right has for its consequence not disorder, but dissolution. The ancient inhabitants of Hellas divided the nations into two classes—the righteous and the un righteous—those which uphold law and order and the sacredness of treaties through the fear of God, and those to whom nothing is sacred. The latter they termed in the pre-eminent—the moral sense of the word—barbarians. Heathens as they were, they perfectly under stood that genuine civilisation could alone shield men from barbarism, and that true civilisation could find no solid basis but in the fear of God. They had treasured up this precious heirloom of earlier and better times, and we, the heirs of Christianity, do not husband its treasures better than the prodigal son his heritage. Each passing day brings our unhappy generation nearer to a communistic brotherhood with the swine 1 Even with regard to England, looking to the activity of the press in undermining Christian principles and Christian discipline, looking to the falling ther mometer of English faith in the course of the last decennium, your readers will not feel inclined to dispute my judgment in this matter. And if, at the same time, they reflect on the ever-growing, all-overpowering dominion of material interests, will they not perceive at another point the in roads of barbarism. Here, again, old Hellas, whose views are so beautifully mirrored in August Whilhelm von Schlegel's Anion, utter§ her con demnation : Fern magst du zu Barbaren, Des geizes knechten, fahren. Barbarians—slaves of avarice—how much were to be learned out of these few words ? This fearful crisis, through which Europe is now passing, can neither be called a revolution of fire nor of water (the ancient Egyptians believed that it lay in the natural order of the universe that from time to time a revolution of fire or of water should break out). No ;itis a quagmire revolution. We are barbarising (may Hellas again lend expres sion to my thoughts) while we are borborising ; borboros—slime and mire—is the element on which Antichrist builds his throne. As, at the work of Creation, the Spirit of God brooded over the waters, so cloth Antichrist at his work of destruc tion hover over this slime ; and, as Christ taught St. Peter to walk on the waters, so cloth Anti christ teach his vassals to enthrone them on this quagmire ; those who refuse to be his slaves sink in it. In annexing, moreover, and in assimilating, this element succeeds right well, in spite of fire and of water ; but it will not go out like fire, nor does it sink and pass away like the flood of waters. Nations which are borborised, which are sunk in slime and mire, are lost. lam aware I shall scandalise many by this picture of our poli tical and social condition ; where I sec only the foulness of corruption others perceive the glow of a stirring, blooming, fiery life. Everything de pends on the point of view taken. I will explain what I mean. The German poets of the Middle Age loved to personify sensual pleasure in the following manner: —A volumptuous female glowing in all the charms of youthful beauty, clothed in airy garments, sparkling with gold and jewels—thus she seemed in front, but viewed from behind, there appeared only the stump of an old tree, decayed and hol low, filled with mud and slime. A spectre of this kind is our modern Revolu tion. Those who pay homage to her—princes as well as statesmen, demagogues as well as the masses, influenced by the sentiment of an 4‘ his toric mission"—may rejoice for awhile in the be witching embraces of this strolling enchantress ; but ere long the Spectre will present her back to their gaze ! Such is the view I take of our present and of our future. The interposition of a miracle could alone bring us better things. An old Pan (as the ancient Heathen would have said) must suddenly spring forth to strike a panic into the spirits of dissolution and destruction. But I must now try to conciliate your readers, who have had to listen to such harsh language, by touching on a more pleasing and grateful topic. It was not without especial motive that in the beginning of this Jeremiad I showed them the way to Bronnbach. It is truly worth the journey, to see with one's own eyes the home which the exiled and plundered King of Portugal built for himself in a distant German forest, to see in the sanctuary of that mourning family a princess whose like can not often be found in Germany, and, at the side of the stately mother, six blooming daughters who unite charmingly in their own persons the Portu guese and the German nationality. In the only son and heir the Portuguese nationality decidedly predominates ; his photograph presents a promis ing and spirited youth wearing the uniform of a Papal Zouave. To those who have any feeling for the charm and the dignity of a truly Christian household, it is inexpressibly grateful to witness so much unpretending simplicity combined with princely dignity, where all is nature, to find yet nothing of what taints nearly the whole world— nothing vulgar. Those who have leisure to look about them, and to examine all that is done far and wide in the land, as well by,the duchess as by her distinguished brother, will carry away in their heart an image never to be effaced, nay, perhaps, to be entwined with some hopes of better things in some future day. The grave of Dom Miguel is in Klein-Hen bach, the family vault of the Lowensteins being in the monastery there on the Engelsberg. He reposes then on the right side of the Main, and he died also on the same side, in the midst of the cold and gloomy Spessart, where Prince Lowen stein has a hunting seat—the Karlshohe. His body rests on the angel's mount. May the angels soon bear his soul aloft to the heavenly mount. As better evidence of truth than words out of the mouth of an enemy is scarcely imaginable, I am induced to transcribe the following passage from a periodical called the " Gartenlaube," as an appendix to my account of Dom Miguel. A previous article, in the year 1863, had described him, after the fashion usual amongst the revolu tionists, as a sanguinary despot. The writer of it, who appears at bottom a well-intentioned man, subsequently chanced to pass some time in the neighbourhood of Bronnbach, and, like Balaam, who went out to curse and remained to bless, thus speaks of the much-calumniated and exiled prince, as he really teas : " What most filled me with astonishment was the universal assurance of high and low that the Duke of Braganza was a most benevolent, mild, amiable, and, above all, a most charitable man, one to whom his domestics were devotedly at tached, who was honoured and loved by every one in llenbach, Wertheim, Bronnbach, and in the whole Main and Tauber country, and by the poor and necessitous quite worshipped." Many, touching instances of the beneficence and gener osity of the duke were n arrated to me, a nd by persons so well entitled to credit, and of such va rious classes of society, that it was impossible to doubt the truth of the narrative. A respecta ble man, who knew the duke well, said to me— " There is not a trace of dece p tion to be found in him ; he shows himself always and under every circumstance as he really is." The foundation of his being is goodness, mildness, benevolence, affa bility. This proves he must always have poss essed the qualities which now characterise him, for it is quite impossible for the disposition of a man to change so perfect l y into its opposite m the course of time that a sanguinary despot should become , the mildest of men. ~ ~-*yz~ ---_~~ 4d. STAMPED Reform. Demonstration at Newcastle-on- Tyne. NEWCASELE-ON-TYNE, Monday. A great demonstration of the working classes of the north in favour of manhood suffrage and the bal lot, and organised by the Northern Reform League, has been held here to-day. It has been specially a Tyneside and Northumbrian gathering, and as the day has been extremely fine and spring-like it has passed off very successfully. A large number of pitmen have been present, and most of the collieries and large factories have kept holiday. The artisans employed in the great engine works in Newcastle and the river side and seafaring population have been well represented. The - first part of the day's programme was the procession, and it was mar shalled in front of the Central Railway Station and the streets adjacent in the following order :—Two carriages carrying Old Reformers of 1819 and 1832 ; Flag, band of the Reform League, Council of the League, Demonstration Committee, Chairman, and Speakers; Plumbers; Stonemasons; Sons of Tem perance and Working Men's Club, Newgate-street ; Stephenson's Workmen ; Blaydon, Winlaton, Lem ington, and Scotswood ; Hawthorn's Workmen ; North Shields Procession; Northumberland Miners; Joicey's Workmen ; Fish Merchants and Curers ; Gutta-percha Shoemakers, Cordwainers, and Rivet ters ; Brassfounders and Finishers ; Elswick Ord nance and Engine Works ; Coachmakers, Sad dlers, and harness Makers; Free Gardners ; R.T.C. Workmen from Howdon, and Blyth and Tyne Company's Men; Jarrow Procession Gateshead Pro cession ; Ouseburn Engine Works ; Amalgamated Carpenters and Joiners, Joiners of Walker, Wallsend, and Jarrow, and Plasterers ; Plate glass Makers and Elswick Saw Mills ; Sunderland Procession; Tinplate Workers; Foresters' Court (Blaydon) ; Wireworkers, Co-operative Smiths ; South Shields Procession ; Coopers and Corkeut ters ; Tyne Watermen, Painters ; Boilermakers, Ironfounders, Tailors, Amalgamated Engineers, Cabinetmakers. The route taken was from Nevile street, along Colingwood-street and Mosley-street, up the west side of Grey-street, round the monu ment to Grey-street, down the east side of Grey street, along Mosley-street (East), up Pilgrim -st., and Northumberland-street to the Haymarket. The procession started shortly after 12 o'clock at noon, and it was by far the largest demonstration ever held by the working classes in the north. The League reckoned they would be able to bring from 12,000 to 20,000 men into the procession, and cer tainly if they did not attain the larger they mustered the lesser number. The trades' organisations made themselves felt in the arrangements, for the proces sion, in its formation and marching, was like a piece of machinery. The trades and benefit societies had numerous banners and devices, and there was a mul titude of bands of music. But the procession was the most remarkable for the number of well-dressed and orderly men in it. There were few carriages in the procession, and what there were were occupied by the Reformers of 1819 and 1832, and Lord Teynham and Mr. Alderman Maycock were among them. The procession took a long time in defiling through the principal streets of the town, and very large crowds were in the streets. Not a policeman was to be seen, but the most perfect order pre vailed, as the procession was well kept by a body of mounted marshals. Several of the respectable inhabitants of the town headed the procession, but it was essentially a great demonstration of the skilled workmen of the north. The out-door meeting was held on the Town moor, and there was a large number of speakers, all workmen. The following resolutions were put to the meeting and carried : " 1. That this meeting enters its solemn protest against and its denial of, thecharges of venality, ignorance, drunk enness, and indifference to Reform, brought against the working classes during the last session of Parliament, and declares that registered residential manhood suffrage, and the ballot to be the only just and proper basis of represen tation. “2. That this meeting desires to acknowledge the ser vices of Earl Russell, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Mr. John Bright, the O'Donoghuo, Mr. John Stuart Mill, Mr. G. 0. Trevelyan, Mr. Joseph Cowen, Mr. John Candlish, and all those who have supported the people's claim and ♦indicated their character in Parliament. "3. That this meeting expresses its indignation at the conduct of those members of Parliament who have refused to aid the working classes in their endeavours to obtain a fair share of the franchise ; and hereby pledges itself to unite with the men of London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Cilasgow, Dublin, and elsewhere, in their determina tion to press the question of Reform to an immediate settlb ment, to maintain the peace and secure the contentment of the country." A meeting was held in the evening in the Town hall, Mr. Joseph Cowen, jun., in the chair, when resolutions of a character similar to the above were carried. The meeting concluded in an orderly manner. The in-door meeting in the Town-hall was crowded. The speakers were Lord Teynham, Messrs. Ernest Jones, George Otto Trevelyan, M.P., Alderman Cowen, M.P., Lieut.-Colonel Perkins, Alderman Candlish, M.P., and others. Resolutions in favour of unity among Reformers were carried with en thusiasm. INFANTICIDE IN ENGLAND. DEPUTATION TO THE HOME SECRETARY.

That all still-born children should be registered, received dthat certificates men and ofstill-bir tehesrtsihfioeduldmiodnwlyivebse frommedical . That no still-born child should be b certificate.

That evidence be no longer required of complete separation from the mother, that is, of entire live birth, for conviction ; but that it be held sufficient for the medical and other evidence to prove that the child was alive during birth, and that it died from violence or neglect. That a single woman, certi fied to be pregnant by a medical man, should be enabled to make a declaration of the father before a magistrate, when there is reason to believe that he is likely to abscond. That any pregnant woman being destitute, should be at once admissible into the workhouse by application on or about the com pletion of the eighth month of pregnancy. That, after the period of lour months has elapsed, the mother, if a single woman, should be allowed to leave the infant in the workhouse ; and that the guardians be empowewd to recover from the mother T " X F .0 It 11, 6, OXFORD-STREET, W., THE MUSICAL ESTABLISHMENT OF LONDON.

After the sketch, which appeared in our second number, a few words will suffice to repel the charge of cruelty with which the enemies of Dom Miguel sought to brand his Government. I have examined many of these charges, and but one accusation of any importance—the following one—has come to my knowledge, in which even the bare facts of the story are founded on truth. Eleven students of the University of Coimbra, Revolutionists and Freemasons, were executed under his Government ; a twelfth escaped. Dorn Miguel signed their death warrant ; but the competent tribunal had passed sentence of death upon them ; and their crime was as follows : They had agreed, in obedience to a decree of the secret societies, to assassinate the members of a deputation from the senate of the University of Coimbra, on account of their attachment to their rightful prince. They surprised the deputation on their journey, murdered two of the senators, and had seriously wounded five others, when a detachment of cavalry, happening by chance to come up, prevented the full accomplishment of the horrible deed. The murder of teachers by their scholars approximates to the horror of parricide ; but in this case a father and son actually con fronted each other ! When Dom Miguel, a few short weeks ago, sud denly stricken with apoplexy and speechless, stretched out one hand to his brother-in-law, Prince Lowenstein, while with the other he pressed to his lips the ftnage of the Crucified, which was hanging on his breast, at that moment the recollection of the flagitious students of Coimbra most assuredly did not trouble the peace of his noble soul. Although Dom Miguel reigned in Portugal as legitimate prince, an d at the same time as the prince of their choic e i n t h e h ear ts of his people, nevertheless the task of his Government was rev olution diffused th • • n ous principles in anything but an their poisonous easy one. The partisans of the every circle into which they could creep ; at home their numbers, compared to the mass of the nation, shrunk into insignificance, but they found supporters abroad. The political criminals, who had fled from Portugal, mostly took refuge in England, where they sought successfully, through the medium of newspapers and pamphlets, to diffuse a mass of falsehoods and distorted ver sions of facts throughout the country, and from thence throughout the Continent. A rank and noxious seed it was ; it throve, and sprung up lux uriantly, especially in Germany, where political intelligence was then even rarer than it is at present. I remember well how small the number was from the very first who really understood the state of affairs. Spain, who herself fell ulti mately a victim to the revolution, joined reluc tantly in the struggle against Dom Miguel. In the year 1832 she raised her voice for him. In a note of the Spanish, addressed to the English Minister, it is said : " Can England remain deaf to the united voice of the Portuguese people ; to the sufferings, to the wretchedness, of so noble a nation, who have only m a d e use o f their rights in recognising their undoubtedly legi timate Sovereign ?" In the following year, 1833, Spain was willing to send an auxiliary force for the defence of Dom Miguel, had not the latter been too just, too noble to win an ally on the terms offered. Don Carlos, with his family, had fled from Spain into Portu g al ; now Spain required that Portugal should refu se him an asylum. Dom M iy sister, and i g u e l replied—" my I will never b e t ray my uncle, n nephews. I will rather lose my crown." Thus was Spain, unworthy of such an ally, led to pass over into the ranks of his enemies. With the assistance of Spain, he cou ld h ave ven tured a struggle with the more distant Powers. But to prevent the conquest of Portugal by Spain (whose territory enclosed him on the landside), backed by England and France, was absolutely impossible. To spare his people, therefore, further and useless bloodshed, he surrendered on the approach of a Spanish army ; but, on the 20th of June, 1834, on his arrival at Genoa, he protested in the face of Europe against this violation of his own and his people's rights. By his surrender lie saved his country from some immediate suffering, but it was not in his power to save her from the progressive decay which has been preying upon her vitals to the present hour. The Portuguese question is the same to-day as it was then ; but it is clearer to-day than at that period that the Portuguese question is the Euro pean question. The struggle of right against wrong has existed at all times, as long as the world has endured, and will exist to the end of time, wherever men associate with each other. But this universal characteristic is something very different from the peculiar phenomenon which - ~.~tt - ~ NEWS n I.l"'"Rt 4tia - -'4l f:P'Fi;"" ) ; in such cases a portion only of the su 1°0%4 the maintenance of the child. That th should have power to recover from the fathtApf a 1 •Va. illegitimate child a weekly sum towards its main tenance; and that the legal process of recovery should be assimilated to that for recovering the cost of maintenance of legitimate children deserted and left chargeable to the parish. The committee con sider that the maxitaum sum which may be assessed on the father of an illegitimate child should he raised from half-a-crown to five shillings per week. That, for the rearing of children left in charge of the guardians, a colonising system should be adopted similar to that pursued by the Foundling Hospital, and to that followed under the old poor-law system. That no person be allowed to take charge of au illegitimate child to nurse who is not registered as a fit and proper person ; and that she and the child, or children, in her care, should be under the super vision of the district Poor law medical officer. Any person acting as a nurse to an illegitimate child, and not being registered, should be liable to a penalty, and penalites should be enforced in all cases of neglect or ill-treatment. That no nurse should be allowed to take charge of more than two children without the consent of the district medical officer. In conclusion, the committee are desirous of ex pressing the opinion that the following causes of illegitimacy and indirectly of infanticide require the attention of Government :-1. The overcrowding of the dwellings of the labouring classes in urban and rural districts. 2. The custom prevailing in the north and west of England and in Scotland of public hiring of servants. 3. The gang system in agri culture. 4. The promiscuous lodging of the sexes during hop-picking, harvest, cider-making, &c. Several members of the deputation having urged these points on the Government, Mr. WALPOLE said the observations that had been made were forcible ; but the only thing he could say now in regard to any legislation on lie subject, was that a bill would be brought in this session dealing with capital punishment. He could promise them no legislation beyond that without much more consideration. The deputation then thanked the Home Secre tary for the interview, and withdrew. ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. Yesterday evening the usual weekly meeting of this society was held in the great room of Burling ton-house ; the president, Sir R. Murchison, in the chair. The usual formal business having been gone through, The SECRETARY proceeded to read a paper by the Hon. G. Campbell on a geographical inquiry with reference to the best site for a capital of India. After a long and somewhat technical dissertation on the physical geography of India and its climates at the various altitudes of its mountain ranges, the paper went on to say that there were five important conditions necessary to be considered in the choice of a new capital if a new one was to be chosen First, it should as far as possible lie in the centre of India, geographically and politically ; secondly, within easy reach of the sea, but not too near, in case of attack ; thirdly, it should have a moderately temperate climate, or at least one better suited to Englishmen than that of Calcutta confessedly was, and especially should it have room for an European settlement round it, so as to offer an attraction to im migrants, and also be as near as possible to Europe. Always some of these conditions were to be met with in the mountain ranges of the Ghauts, the Neil gherries, or thellimalayas. The Neilgherries,though less interesting in a picturesque point of view than the Himalayas, were better situated, though better than either was the table-land of the Deccan on the Western Ghauts, about 150 miles above Bombay. The line of the Great Indian and Peninsular Rail way passed close to a spot which afforded a most eligible site, and where the climate was so favour able to Europeans that among troops stationed in that district the annual death rate was as low as between 17 or 18 per cent. All its elements fur forming a political centre was equally favourable, and a spot could be found on the banks of the Godavery near its source, where soil, climate, and everything seemed to point it out as the site for a new capital. The water supply on the spot was, perhaps, not so abundant as might be wished, but there was a confluence of two rivers within four or five miles of the place, and water could easily be brought. At the conclusion of this paper—which, it must be said, was chiefly interesting from the discussion to which it gave rise—several gentlemen of distinc tion, and thoroughly acquainted with Indian affairs, spoke for and against a new capital being chosen. Mr. HAMILTON, the president of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway, said that it had been very truly stated that the capital of India might be changed with great advantage. To change it to Bombay, however, he considered to be out of the question. As regarded the site proposed by Mr. Campbell, it was, no doubt, eligible in every respect but the all-important one of a good water supply. While constructing their railway they had had difficulties in procuring sufficient water for the locomotives. Calcutta, however, he thought, was too far removed from all the other important districts to remain the capital of the Government of a great country. Sir R. MONTGOMERY, K.C.8., said he could not coincide in the reasons allegedfor the removal of the capital from Calcutta. It was not necessary that the capital should be central. London, Paris, Washington were none of them so, and it must be remembered also that the Viceroy had as much to do with China as with India, and Calcutta was cer tainly nearest to the former country. The great centre of European society was undoubtedly at Calcutta, and public opinion there, with the in fluence of an excellent press, exercised great weight on the judgment of the Government.

Sir CHARLES TREVELYAN thought the very essence of the paper was political. The whole political sys tem of India was, as they all knew, a system of local Governments, to a certain extent controlled by the.supreme Legislature. The capital ought not to be on the site of a local Government, which it would soon overshadow. The Government ought to be common to all, and so should the public opinion which controlled it. No doubt, the climate of Calcutta and Madras was unfavourable to Euro peans, but the Council of India had i t am o n d e o n nu d nt u hl r ee e s st i o t tuh a r e t s Governorthe former t p o l o a k c e his a s they Council best with could,h that had been suggested, they would be liable to the same peril which had been incurred once before, when the Governor-General, being away in Cal cutta, acting without the advice of a Council, plunged the country into the disastrous Affghan war. Sir ERSKINE PERRY said the question was entirely political, and one which had been agitated during the last 30 years. The objections to Calcutta as the seat of Government were obvious, but he thought they had been much exaggerated. Mr. Campbell's choice of a new site was a good one as regarded sanitary reasons, but the scarcity of water and the high price of food made it otherwise objectionable. Sir lIENRYRAWLINSON brought the discussion to a close by strongly advocating the claims of Poona, which he thought to be both from a political and sanitary point of view, admirably adap ted for a new capital if one was to be chosen. The meeting then adjourned. ...-------------- :___ L ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Ready to Hand. —Every good and generous person feels a natural sympathy in the presence of suffering ; but how much more graceful would that compassion be if it could supply the means of relief. professor thus Hollodway oerin ffergs the to every ono the never -failing pow of ren most essential service to afflicted humanity.
