MR. JOHN LLOYD GARRISON. A public breakfast was given at St. James's Hall, on Saturday, to Mr. John Lloyd Garrison, the well known American abolitionist. The body of the hall was filled by 400 hundred ladies and gentle men who had taken tickets for the breakfast, and the galleries by spectators. Among those present were the following :—Mr. John Bright, M.P., the chairman ; Mr. W. L. Garrison, his daughter, Mrs. Villard, and his son, Mr. F. Garrison ; the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, Earl Russell, K.G., and the Countess and Lady G. Russell, Lady M. Stanhope, Mr. T. Hughes, M.P., Mr. V. Harcourt, Q.C., the Right Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., Mr. G. Thompson, the Hon. E. L. Stanley, Mr. J. Stansfeld, M.P., the Earl of Airlie, Lord A. S. Churchill, Bishop Payne, Mr. J. S. Mill, M.P., &c. Letters of apology were read from the Comte de Paris and Mr. Adams, the American Minister, both expressing sympathy with the purpose of the meeting. Mr. BRIGHT was greeted withloud and prolonged eheeis. He said his position was unusual and dif ficult ; but he esteemed it a signal distinction to be permitted to take a prominent part in proceedings intended to commemorate one of the greatest of the great triumphs of freedom, and do honour to the most eminent instrument in its achievement. It is a triumph which has raised four millions of human beings from the very lowest depths of social and political degradation to the lofty height which men attain when they possess equality of rights in the freest country on the globe; and more than this, it is a triumph which has pronounced the irreversible doom of slavery in all countries, and for all time. (Cheers.) How has this great matter been accomplished ? 119 w is it that any great and important matter is ever accomplished? By a love of justice, a constant devotion to a great cause, and by an unfaltering faith that that which is right will in the end succeed. (Cheers.) When he looked at that assembly, and partook of the sym pathy which prevails, as we welcome our guest of to-day, he could not but contrast Mr. Gatrison's present position with that which he had, not so far back but that many can remember it, occupied in his own country. In 1829 he was in prison in Balti more, but his ardour in the cause was not repressed ; far within two years of that timehe had e the courage to publish in Boston a paper devoted to the question of abolition. He (Mr. Bright) had often read an address in the first number with great interest, and it is the key to the future life of Mr. Garrison. It had been complained that he used hard language — which is a very common complaint indeed—klaugh ter, and loud cheers) —and he said in the address " I am aware that many object to the severity of my language, but is there no cause for severity ? I will be as harsh, as true, and as uncompromising as justice. lam in earnest. I will not equivocate, I will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch, and I will be heard." (Great cheering.) What at that time was the temper of the people who are now glorying in the abolition of slavery in their country? It was very little better in the North than in the South. About the year 1835 riots of the most ter rific character took place in some of the Northern States, and during that time in Boston Mr. Garri son's life was in the most imminent peril, and it has never been quite ascertained how he was left alive to carry out his great work. Turning to the South, the State of Georgia in its legislature passed a bill offering $5,000 for the capture of Mr. Garrison, or adequate proof of his death. These were menaces and perils such as we have not in our time been ac customed to in this country, in any of our political movements ; and we shall take a very poor measure indeed of the conduct of the leaders of the emancipation party in the United States if we measure them by any of those who have been concerned in political movements amongst us. But the caus'3 gathered strength, and by-and-bye Mr. Garrison found himself surrounded by a small but increasing band of men and women as devoted as he was to the cause. We have in this country a very noble woman who taught the English people much on this subject about thirty years ago—Har riet Martineau. (Loud cheers.) lie recollected reading an eloquent awl touching paper by her, published in the December number, 1838, of the Westminster Review, entitled " The Martyr Age of the United States." That paper introduced to the English public the great names appearing on the scene of action in this cause in America. There was, of course, a distinguished character, our eminent guest of to-day ; there were Arthur and Lewis Cappon; and Burney of Alabama, the planter and slave-owner who liberated his slaves ; Dr. Channing, and John Quincy Adams, states man and President of the United States, and father of the eminent Minister from that country now in England ; and Wendell Phillips, who is admitted by all who know him to be the most powerful and distinguished orator who speaks the English tongue. He might refer to others—Charles Sumner, Horace Greeley, the first of journalists in the United States, if not in the world. But besides these there were of noble women not a few. There were Mrs. Child, the two sisters. Angelina and Sarah Blinkie, of South Carolina, who liberated their slaves and de voted all they had to the cause; and there was Mrs. Chapman, whom Miss Martineau described as noble and beautiful and good. But there is a man whose name must live for ever, Mr. Lovejoy, who in Illi nois laid down his life for this cause. (Cheers.) When he read that article of Harriet Martineau's, he was reminded of that striking passage in the Epistle to the Hebrews, where the writer, after de scribing the great men and fathers of the nation, said, " Time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephtha, of David, also of Samuel and the prophets, who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant infight, turning to flight the armies of the aliens." May not that passage now be applied to the heroic band who have made America the perpetual home of right ? (Great cheering.) In spite of all that persecution could do, in the North opinion pro gressed in favour of freedom, and in the South, alas, in favour of the most devilish delusion that slavery was a Divine institution. The moment that idea took possession of the South war was inevitable ; nor fact, nor argument, nor counsel, nor philosophy, nor religion could affect the discussion of the question, when once the church teachers of the South had fallen into the snare, and had taught their people that slavery was a Divine institution. Because then they began to cling to it on other and different grounds, and they said, " Evil be thou our good." And thus they had light and darkness, freedom and bondage, good and evil, and, if you like, heaven and hell, in one great confusion. (Loud cheers.) And unless there could have been some • miracle performed greater than any recorded in the inspired writings, it was impossible that war should not spring out of it. Then the slaveholders, that dreadful brotherhood in whom turbulent pas sions were let loose the moment they found the Presidential election in 1860 going adversely to the slave power—took up arms and sustained their hated system. Then came the earthquake so often foretold, so often menaced, and so often postponed, and the ground reeled under the whole nation during four years of agony; and at last, when the smoke of the battle-field had passed away,the horrid 2tate of things which had cast its shadow over the whole continent was banished and had gone for ever. (Loud cheers.) An ancient and renowned poet says, "Unholy is the voice of loud thanksgiving over slaughtered men." It becomes us not to rejoice but to be humble that a chastisement so terrible should be needful for any of our race, but we may he thankful that the clet3tisement at least was not spent in vain. But this greater triumph in the field was not all. There came after that another greater triumph, a triumph over passion, and there came to the front not armies and military commanders, but the magnanimity and mercy of a great tri ump h ant nation. were treated as the vanquished (Cheers.) in the history o i world have nev er b e f ore been treated. (Cheers. ) f th th ed e There was a universal feeling in the North that every care should be taken of those who had been so recently enfranchised. Immediately after that event industry became 1.11 . dependent, and • was paid for ; schools were established where they had not hereto fore been known ; and, finally, full political rights were conferred upon the people who only twelve months or two or three years before had been de scribed as chattels, and things to be bought and sold in any market. (Loud cheers.) We may, therefore, feel that those persons in the Northern States who befriended the slave in his bondage will not now forsake him in his freedom. May we not say, on a review of what has taken place, that his tory has no sadder fame; and may we not, if we take a little different view, say that history has no brighter fame? (Cheers.) To Mr. Garrison, in the first instance, this is due. The creation of that opinion that has made slavery hateful and freedom possible in America is due in great part to him. His name is venerated in his own country, where not long ago it was a name of obloquy and re proach ; and it is venerated in this country and in Europe, and wheresoever Christianity softens the heart and lessens the sorrows of mankind. (Cheers.) And in time to come his name will become the herald and synonyme of good to millions of men who will dwell on the now almost unknown continent of Africa. But we must not allow our own character to be forgotten or depreciated, even whilst we are saying favourable things of our friend here and our friends across the water. We can share in this triumph. (Cheers.) We have liberated slaves. Our position was different ; our negroes were not so numerous, and were 4,000 miles away ; we had no prejudices of colour ; we had a Parliament omnipotent over those colonies, and public opinion, acting here upon Parliament, was far too powerful for the resistance of those who were interested in the continuance of slavery. Still we liberated slaves, and English soil did not reject a bondman ; at the moment he touched it it made him free. We had our Clarkson, our Wilberforce, our Buxton, and our Sturge ; and we have in this hall the most eloquent champion for the freedom of the slave that England has ever possessed in our friend George Thompson. (Great cheering.) We may share in some degree in the renown of our guest, and may divide with the country from which he comes these honours. Our country once was his, and is still; for did not his fathers bear allegi ance to our ancient monarchy, and were they not at one time citizens of this English commonwealth ; and may we not boast that the freedom which now overspreads his noble nation has sprung into life amongst our common ancestors. (Cheers.) But to Mr. Garrison it has been given, in a manner not often afforded to those who do great things of this kind, to see the great fruit of his great labour over a territory large enough to make many realms. He has seen hopeless toil supplanted by a compensated industry, and where a bondman dragged his chains there freedo:n is enthroned for ever. (Great cheer ing.) We welcome him among us as a friend whom some of us have long known. We welcome him with cordiality which knows no stint or limit. (Cheers.) And we venture to pass a verdict which will be sanctioned by all inankind—not only by those now living, but by those who will come after us, and to whom his struggles, and those of his noble associates and their great success, shall be a help in those struggles which remain for men and nations. (Cheers.) One of our oldest and greatest poets has furnished a line which shall declare that verdict. He would. not ask—Are these persons renowned now for their great work? But of Wil liam Lloyd Garrison, and the noble men and women who were associated with him, he would say—Are they not " On Fa me's eternal bead-roll worthy to be Sled ?" (Loud and prolonged cheering.) The Duke of ARGYLL said it was hard to follow an address of such extraordinary beauty, simplicity, and power ; but it became his duty to move an ad dress of hearty congratulation to their distinguished guest, Mr. William Garrison. (Cheers.) After a few remarks from his grace, the following address was read : To Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Esq.—Sir, We heartily welcome you to England in the name of thousands of Englishmen who have watched with admiring sympathy your labours for the redemption of the negro race from slavery, and for that which is a higher abject than the redemption of any single race, the vindication of the universal principles of humanity and justice; and who, having sympathised with you in the struggle, now rejoice with you in the victory. Forty years ago, when you commenced your efforts, slavery appeared to be rapidly advanc ing to complete ascendancy in America. Not only was it dominant in the Southern States, but even in the free States it had bowed the constituencies, society, and, in too many instances, even the churches to its will. Commerce, linked to it by interest, lent it her support. A great party, compactly organised and vigorously wielded, placed in its hands the power of the State. It bestowed political offices and hon ours, and was thereby enabled to command the apostate homage of political ambition. Other ha tions felt the prevalence in your national councils of its insolent and domineering spirit. There was a moment, most critical in the history of America and of the world, when it seemed as though that continent, with all its resources and all its hopes, was about to become the heritage of the slave power. But Providence interposes to prevent the perma nent triumph-of evil. It interposes, not visibly or by the thunderbolt, but by inspiring and sustaining high moral effort and heroic lives. You commenced your crusade against slavery in isolation, in weak ness, and in obscurity. The emissaries of authority with difficulty found the office of the Liberator in a mean room, where ite editor was aided only by a negro boy, and supported by a few insignificant persons—so the officers termed them—of all colours. You were denounced, persecuted, and hunted down by mobs of wealthy men alarmed for the interests of their class. You were led out by one of these mobs, and saved 'from their violence and the im minent peril of death almost by a miracle. You were not turned from your path of devo tion to your cause, and to the highest interests of your country, by denunciation, persecution, or the fear of death. You have lived to stand victorious and honoured in the very strong hold of slavery ; to see the flag of the Republic, now truly free, replace the flag of slavery on Fort Sumter, and to proclaim the doctrines of the Libe rator in the city and beside the grave of Calhoun. Enemies of war, we most heartily wish, and doubt not that you wish as heartily as we do, that this deliverance could have been wrought out by peace ful means. But the fierce passions engendered by slavery in the slave-owner determined it otherwise ; and we feel at liberty to rejoice, since the struggle was inevitable, that its issue has been the preserva tion, not the extinction, of all that we hold most dear. We are, however, not more thankful for the victories of freedom in the field than for the mode ration and mercy shown by the victors, which have exalted and hallowed their cause and ours in the eyes of all nations. We shall now watch with anxious hope the development, amidst the difficulties which still beset the regeneration of the South, of a happier order of things in the States rescued from slavery, and the growth of free communities, in which your name, with the names of your fellow workers in the same cause, will be held in grateful and lasting remembrance.which you willm o fi r n e d w m e welcomeany you to a country in sin cere and warm friends. Earl RussEr.i. was received with long-continued applause. He said, as one of many sincere admirers of freedom, he joined in this welcome, and held it to be a distinguished honour to take part in such a tribute of admiration to Mr. Garrison. It is the fortune of our rice that if many evils beset man kind, and the « oppressor's wrong" is often deeply felt, and institutions sometimes prevail to condemn million to hopeless servitude, the Almighty tins planted in some breasts a heart of indignation against wrong, and a readiness to encounter any evil—even martyrdom— in order to deliver man kind, so that these evils are done away. (Cheers.) That spirit :is found in Mr. Garrison. The noble earl joined in the hope that this occasion will tend to draw closer the ties of friendship and affection that ought to unite us to America, and make us perpetual friends—(cheers) ; and went on to say—l have my own fault to acknowledge in this respect, because I certainly thought that when the slave States of America endeavoured to establish their independence, and at the same time to perpetuate the institution of slavery, the Northern States ought at once to have pro claimed not only their abhorrence, but the aboli tion and destruction, of slavery. Distance and want of knowledge of the circumstances of America made me fall into error in this respect. (Cheers.) I was afterwards convinced by the distinguished and eminent man who represents the United States in this country—l mean Mr. Adams—(cheers) —l was convinced by him, in frequent conversations on the subject, that I had not rendered due justice to Mr. Lincoln, who was the friend of freedom, and not THE SUN', 'LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 1, 1867. only the friend, but ultimately the martyr. (Great cheering.) I may now, therefore, acknowledge that the task which the Government of the United States had to perform was a totally different task from, and a much more difficult task than, we had to per form when, more than thirty years ago, we abolished slavery in the West India Islands ; not having that slavery mixed up with our own domestic institutions, not involved and twisted into all our relations, whether political or social, but merely looking upon it as a question of the liberation of mankind—as a religious question imposed upon us by our adherence to Christianity. I am now persuaded that Mr. Lincoln did all it was possible to do, and we arc bound to give our tribute of admiration to the ex cellent part Mr. Lincoln and the Government took, which has ended in the entire liberation of the slaves. (Cheers). The noble earl went on to say that old animosities have departed from us, and that we can take part with Americans in the celebration of the 4th of July, as much rejoicing in the free institutions of America. (Cheers, and cries of " Bravo !") Air. MILL confined himself to making one or two moral reflections upon the teaching of the American conflict, by the result of which not only the slaves but the mind of the nation has become free. (Cheers.) The address was then put to the meeting, carried with acclamation, and presented to Mr. GARRISON, who rose to reply, and was most enthusiastically received. He spoke at great length, recounting his struggles, difficulties, and dangers in the advocacy of abolition in America. The ex pressions of goodwill uttered that day would be heartily reciprocated by his countrymen. He dis claimed the praise that had been showered upon him. He had visited England in 1833 to unde ceive Mr. Wilberforce and others as to the tendency of the American Colonisation Society. On one occasion Mr. Buxton invited a party to meet him as " the black advocate of emancipation"—(laughter) —and that was the only compliment he could re member as paid to him during his advocacy. In 1864 he found his old prison at Baltimore had been pulled down ; and Mr. Lincoln, to whom he told this, said the difference between 1830 and 1864 was that in the former year he could not get out, and in the latter hecould not get in. Referring to his own purposes in the struggle, he said, where the standard was justice and the faith firm, because linked to the eternal Throne, the question of success was only a question of time. (Cheers.) Ile defended the policy of the Northern States during the war, and said that Earl Russell had reached a sublifue alti tude by his manly confession of error. In conclu sion, he warmly advocated friendship between Eng land and the United States, and was loudly cheered. Mr. G. Thompion, Mr. Stansfeld, and others spoke briefly, and the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. Death of Professor Trousseau. -0- The great Trousseau is no more. This illustrious physician, who had been suffering for some time from a cancerous disease of the stomach, died on Sunday, the 23d, at the comparatively early age of sixty-six. To the last he preserved all his lucidity of mind, and whilst all around him were overwhelmed with grief he was full of peace and resignation. It is said that he studied upon himself the progress of his disease, following with the most scrupulous clinical accuracy all the phases of the malady, and predicting with his usual composure the time when the morbid action would have completed its final work ; daily and almost hourly noting the vari- - _ ous symptoms which are to follow their due succes sion until checked by the merciless hand of death M. Trousseau was buried with great simplicity ; according to his expressed wish, no discourses were delivered at his funeral, which took place at the Madeleine. The place was so crowded that numbers could not penetrate, and were compelled to remain without. Amid the immense concourse of people who accompanied him to his last abode in the Pere Laehaise were to be observed the whole body of the Faculty, and a large deputation from the Academy of Medicine, in official attire; all the scientific nota bilities of Paris, and a considerable number of medi cal men and students. The grief which was de picted on the countenances of all who were pre sent showed how deeply the death of M. Trousseau is felt, not only by his professional brethren, but by the public at large. Contemporary medicine has lost in M. Trous seau one of its most eminent representatives, and the French profession in particular one of its brightest ornaments. Endowed with the highest abilities and the most varied aptitudes, M. Trous seau bad rise❑ to the loftiest distinction in the dif ferent pursuits and avocations to which he applied himself during the course of his brilliant career. His fame was equally great as a professor, as a writer, as an orator, and as a physician. His teaching at the Faculty, during the time he occupied the chair of Therapeutics, was one of unexampled success. No man ever possessed a richer fund of knowledge in this particular department than the deceased. Of an active and ingenious mind he had upturned the whole field of therapeutical research, and had left no corner unexplored. Intent with the desire of devis ing more efficacious means of cure, he submitted to the teat of his own experience not only the vaunted remedies of the ancients, but all modern therapeuti cal discoveries, foreign as well as French, and en riched this particular branch of science with the fruits of his observation and genius. He was there fore admirably fitted to fill this chair at the Faculty. And if it be remembered what additional interest the charm of his oratory must have lent to his lec tures we can easily understand the enthusiasm with which these lectures are still spoken of. As much may be said of his clinical teaching at the Hotel Dieu. We have just alluded to his abilities as an orator none who have had occasion to hear either his lec tures at the Hotel Dieu or at the Faculty, and his harangues at the Academy of Medicine, will ever forget the power of language, the peculiar charm of diction, the richness and happiness of expression, and the artistic arrangement of words and ideas with which he invariably seduced and captivated his audience. M. Trousseau has sent forth to the world a host of well-informed and talented physicians, trained by his teachings in the lecture-room and the hospi tal, as also by his example. The deceased was never deterred by an extensive and almost Euro pean practice from devoting a portion of his time to instruction and the advancement of science. His earlier friends, Bretonneau and Remmier, guided and sustained his first steps ; and never did Trousseau forget how much he was indebted to them. When he had reached the pinnacle of fame be was then most conspicuous for the helping hand he held out to all who needed assistance and en couragement. Thus disappear one after another men who have shed lustre on the Faculty of Paris ; Chomel, Rostra), Jobert de Lamballe have passed away ; and, from that splendid phalanx of eminent profes sors who have spread the fame of the Paris school far and wide, only two still active and energetic mon are left standing, like handsome pillars in a Greek ruin—Velpeau ou the f;urgical, and Bouil laud on the medical side. Andral and Cruveilbier work DO more, but are resting upon their well earned laurels ; whilst Rayer somewhat holds his ground in spite of age, displaying at timeseonsider able energy where works of iwnevolenee are con cerned.—The Lancet.

THE CONDITION OF IRELAND. A writer in a contemporary says : The deep interest which Americans naturally take in Ireland, which has contributed so largely to the population and material wealth of the United States, induces me to offer you a few observations upon the social conditions of the coun try, the more especially as public opinion in America exercises, apparently, so large an influence on the mischievous operations of the Fenians. As an Englishman, independent of all parties, accustomed to travel over the country for many months, and mixing freely with ail classes, my tes timony may be accepted as perfectly unbiassed. I have no cause to serve but the cause of truth, and I shall only be too happy if its dissemination, through the pages of a journal read by Americans, should contribute to the suppression of a movement which entails immense injury upon Ireland, and places the Government of the United States in a false position. An impression has been created in America that this country is misgoverned, and that millions of Irishmen are anxious to be separated from England in order to establish a republic for themselves. If the ridiculous failures which have attended the attempts of the last two years to effect that object have not dissipated the preposterous idea, let a few facts be accepted as proofs that it exists only in the brains of a few wild adventurers stimulated by pecuniary prospects. In the first place, not one person of the slightest respectability—neither nobleman, gentleman, Land lord, merchant, professional man, nor tradesman in Ireland, has been ascertained to have entertained the slightest sympathy with the rebellious scheme. Not one has contributed a penny to its funds, but all have protested, and do protest, vehemently against proceedings which have seriously affected the trade of the country, and cast thousands of the poor into a state of helpless destitution. In the second place, it is universally felt that any change in the Government of the country must be 'or the worse. In the third place, Ireland needs capital for the development of her agricultural and mineral re sources. The money made by the merchants of the country is not employed by their offspring in ex tending and perpetuating commercial adventure. The sons of prosperous traders hold their father's trade in contempt, and prefer seeking admission into the ranks of the aristocracy either as clergy men, lawyers, officers of the army or navy, or as " young men of fortu n e." hence a close connec tion with wealthy, acti v e, careful England and Scotland is indispensable to the manufacturing in terests and social welfare of Ireland. In the fourth placa, were it quite true that the majority of Irishmen desire the assistance of America in casting off the yoke of England, it would be impossible to attain that object - by force unless the Government of the United States were openly to put forth all its strength, and send an immense army and numerous ships of war ; and even then the conflict would be doubtful. The essence of all plots is secrecy and confidence, and these seem to be impossibilities in Ireland. Men habitually betray each other in all the concerns of life. And although the informer is held in contempt, we have seen that money and considerations of personal safety will procure any amount of timely informa tion that may be useful to the Government in its defensive arrangements. That Ireland is as well governed as it might be, no one will venture to maintain, but the fault does not lie so much with England as the Irish themselves. The relations of landlord and tenant must indeed be settled by the British Parliament, but if Irish mem bers are not agreed as to the best method of placing these relations on a proper and amicable footing who is to blame? The system of evictions is unquestionably a serious bar to the improvement of property by tenants at will, yet it cannot be denied that what between poverty and dishonesty, the land lords often find it a very hard matter to get their rent. Thus the alleged cruelty of ejectment is met by a protest against the absence of all means of getting rid of a tenant who cannot or who will•not pay. Dis traint yields little satisfaction when there is no tan gible property to distrain. The New York " Round Table" on the American Press. -Q.-- These are a remarkable series of articles, com mencing May 18 with a paper on Episcopal Journalism ; the second of the series is on the Metropolitan Dailies, and the third on the Country Press. We are not aware how far the reviewer intends to carry his criticisms, but the field is still ample if he follows the subject into more minute detail. One of the peculiarities of American journalism is the expansion of the religious press. The New England States grow religious newspapers like mushrooms, Massachusetts thus furnishes a striking example of the tenacity with which the English race cling to the traditions of their fathers. The Pilgrim Fathers stamped their character On the institutions and tone of thought of the New England States, and although a great change has been wrought by generations following on generations in a new land, working a change in the outer man in- his physicial appearance, yet in 1867 a liquor law is enforced in Massachusetts as well as in Maine, which might be supposed to have been passed by the ghosts of the Puritan settlers of 16.20. The religious press of the New England States is an in digenous plant, strangely combining the lust for Mammon with the fear of God. The Round Table has not as yet treated this branch of its subject fully, having hitherto confined its remarks to Episcopal journalism. The newspapers best known in Europe are of course the metropolitan dailies, which form the subject of the second paper. The reviewer contrasts the leading organs of opinion in New York with those of the British metropolis. This comparison is' easily made, as the language is the awe, and the kinship and institutions make the habits somewhat similar. Though the Round Table acknowledges that the comparison tells so far against New York that the London journals are in most respects still in advance, yet it contends that the distance is rapidly being lessened, and it predicts that it will shortly disappear, or, if there be any difference, it will be in favour of the American organs. Twenty years ago the best New York news papers were as far behind the best London, as those of a minor western town were behind those of New York. Metaphorically speaking, the London papers were out of sight ahead ; now the American fleet is but a short way astern, and presently they hope to be abreast of their elder cousins. After frankly acknowledging this, and putting all in their true places, the reviewer says "what we want to establish first is truth." The reasons of the superiority of English journalism are given :—First, in the greater proportion of scholarly men of leisure ; second, in more exactly defined and universally accepted standards of expression, and in all those things which make the difference between a country all past and another all future. These will be removed as wealth and leisure increase in the United States. Then, the natural vi gour and saliency of youth being: on the Ameri can side the Ecale will probably turn. But there are other disadvantages. Everything that serves t 3 make up a publication is dearer in New York than in England. The cost of paper, composition, pres 3 work, &c., is against the Americans, and ac counts for the inferior appearance of the newspaper. 3 commonly issued there. The Tribune has taken the lea 1 in the improvement in this respect so gene ral in New fo.k. The Herald has disappointed its numerous readers in not improving its paper and its typography to the extent expected when in stalled iu its new and splendid building. The writer believes that it would have been a wise move on Mr. Bennett's part to have raised the price of the Herald from 4.. to 5c., a,nd expended the difference on mechanical improvements and better writing. The Herald is the most successful of American newspapers. Whether it be creditable to the com munity or not, that community has made it, and maintains it as it is. 4 , It is idle to assume that any individual makes a great newspaper what he likes. It is the public that makes it what it likes. A journal is successful just in proportion as the tact and discernment of its manager enable him to dis cover what the public does like, and to meet the demand." For our own part we should be glad to see the Herald much handsomer in print, more dig nified in tone, more noble and elevated in purpose, than in fact it is ; which is not very different from saying that we should be glad to see the commu nity greatly improved in parallel respects. Setting apart its moral tone, or eccentricities of policy, the Herald has always been an excellent newspaper, prompt in supplying the chief requisite of a com mercial and restless people—the " Latest Intelli gence." The New York Times is the most temperate and habitually the most self-restrained of the me tropolitan dailies. It has been termed a trimmer, the charge most frequently levelled at its name sake iu London. The reviewer defends the New York Times, pointing out that thinkers who see good in more parties than one, and who are not habitually wedded to either in particular, invite such imputations, which are in truth the fruit of culture, and of a judicial habit of mind. An editor is apt to suffer severely who insists on judging for himself, as the disgust of former friends and imputed apostacy is more potent for harm than the luke warm adhesion of new friends is effective for good. The articles are generally of a measured and deli berate stamp, often discovering a well-read and scholarly vein, which is equally removed from the ad captandunz of the Herald, or the rustic dia tribes of the Tribune. The musical and dramatic criticisms have been discriminating and just, in clining to the fault common in America of over much praise. Its London and Paris correspondence is notably good, and its literary reviews are usually careful, apparently conscientious, and sometimes very able. Satisfactorily to describe the New York Tribune is, the writer says, almost as difficult as satisfac torily to act " Hamlet." Every one has a diffe rent idea of it ; no one is ever entirely satisfied with it, and yet in most things it has more real influence than any paper published on the continent. It is uncouth in expression, and wants variety and plas ticity of style. Its articles are sometimes provincial to barbarism, with a schoolboy use of expletives and vituperation, offensive to good taste and provocative of ridicule. Its conductors appear to have studied a rusticity of dictum, an elaborate rejection of the elegancies of composition, to find favour in its coun try circulation. The reviewer hits hard at this, which he considers to be a fault of American jour nalism. " Nothing is more degrading to letters than this constant writing down to the assumed average standard of general readers. That it does not impair circulation but rather improves it may be true, but great. public teachers—and established metropolitan newspapers should be no less—should have a higher ideal to attain, a nobler mission to fulfil, than the mero piling up of their circulations. The moral, political, or theological attitudes of a jour nal are matters for legitimate difference of opinion; but questions of grammar, solecisms of construction, the habitual employment of the slang of the vulgar, admit of no such latitude. The Herald and 7 ribune both sin in this respect, albeit in diverse ways ; the latter, not to say it disrespectfully, having an occa sional smack of the cow-yard and the former of the corner grocery. Neither is up to the mark which the intelligence, wealth, and numbers of the com munity fairly demand. Great newspapers like these should be models of pointed composition, not disseminators of stupid verbiage. It is not neces sary to be grandiloquent in order to write good English. It is possible to be simple, explicit, and direct in unexceptionable terms. Too many of our writers have apparently contracted the habit of sup posing that diction will seem affected unless it is coarse; and that to" touch the popular heart '—a pestilent thing at best to be perpetually striving to do—it is needful to write like a child who has, how ever, in all things, save literary composition, the experience of a man." The strong point of the 1 ribune is its brave, out spoken, and honest opinions. The same generous courage which took Mr. Greeley to Richmond to become bondsman for Jefferson Davis animates his whole paper, and gives it its exceptional power. Words are only vehicles of thought, an 1, although the writer objects to the style of the Tribune on purely aesthetic grounds, he applauds its moral and intellec tual features. The circulation of the Tribune and the Times is supposed now to be nearly equal after each paper has passed through various vicissitudes during the course of the war. Mr. Greeley's late act in be coming security for Jefferson Davis has seriously affected the circulation of the Tribune. But the momentary act of spleen which has caused this will soon be forgotten, and cannot have any permanent influence on that great New York daily. The World, originally a failure as a religious daily, has passed through a series of vicissitudes, until it reached its present well-defined position. It ably and brilliantly advocates the principles of the old Democratic party. Its leading articles are characteristically bold, and masterly written by robust and experienced minds, and will bear com parison with similar articles. in first-class London journals, while those of the Herald and Tribune, as a rule, will not. They are pointed, persuasive, and lucid, giving full, clear, and exhaustive statements of Democratic principles and aims. Its fault is too extreme a partisanship. The writer considers it a wholesome thing that the political theories so gene rally accepted in the past, and still adhered to by so large a proportion of the best interests of the coun try, should possess so capable an advocate. The Evening Express supports the same prin ciples in a more fragmentary and off-hand I way. Though its plan aims at giving the latest intelligence, and is on the whole attractive to a large class, its short articles are mingled With ad vertisements, telegraphic despatches, City items, and general paragraphs, so as to give an incongruous appearance, and an air of sloppiness not altogether pleasing to behold. It deals in a direct, unmis takeable fashion, without obscurities or circumlo cution, adhering to its political faith through good and ill report, and as the tried friend of the work ing classes. Although mainly read by the masses, who look to it for practical guidance and instruc tion, its circulation is extending among the more fastidious of the community as the only Democratic evening paper. The Evening Post, according to the reviewer, has been a paper of great influence, though now in a bad way. Its two chief editors have, unfortunately, for some time been absent. Mr. 'William Leggett, while gaining for the paper political and literary reputation, got it into grave financial troubles. His successors, whatever they may have done in the latter respect, have not maintained the posi tion secured in the former. There is a leaden dulness, a laborious rusticity about its columns utterly in compatible with the present requirements of a lead ing journal. Briefly stated, its shortcomings are too provincial, too dry, angular, and' bitter in its prejudices, too unsystematic, inelegant, and con strained. Its book notices are scrappy, feeble, and overtinged with partisanship, and its musical and dramatic criticisms are singularly spiritless and un meaning. It has advocated the cause of free trade, and its articles on national, State, and municipal affairs are as a rule solidly conceived and pertina ciously expressed. It has accumulated in the past a well-earned measure of credit which supports it in the present, but it must improve if it is to hold its position and maintain its influence. The Evening Gazette is a general and literary rather than a political newspaper, and is a new candi date for public favour. It avoids partisanship, and is lively and amusing, without pretending to solid or exhaustive discussion. It aims to exclude from every department all matter which pure-minded people, young or old, do not wish to see, and it is therefore aceeptable in the family circle. Every issue, almost every line, is evidently the work of a gentleman of culture, and there is about it an at mosphere of scholarship and high social surroundings than are not often characteristic of American news papers. Its scrupulous care and delicacy, its light and entertaining reading, and its cheap price, being sold at three cents, are rapidly obtaining for it a re munerative circulation. The Journal of Commerce and Commercial Adver tiser, is one of the two mercantile newspapers. Being comparatively restricted in scope, it does not demand such extended comment as journals of a more general character. Firm in its adherence to Democratic principles ; curt, though dignified, thoughtful, and suggestive, it has exercised a solid and acknowledged influence. Mr. Thurlow Weed, into whose experienced hands it has lately fallen, has given it a greater vitality. Its old rival, the Courier and inquirer, has been merged iu the World, and since then this journal has been the leading authority in commercial circles. It advocates pro tective principles, and the reviewer regrets that there is not in the commercial metropolis of Ame- rica a counteracting influence to balance, in the cause of free trade. Its articles, since the advent of Mr. Weed, have attracted considerable attention, and in its special departments it is entirely to be depended upon. The Sun is the cheapest of the New York dailies, and therefore the smallest, though a well-managed and useful sheet, supplying good reading and the latest news for thousands, to whom the extra pennies de manded by the larger journals are an object. It has been much improved and considerably enlarged of late, and is not, if we are correctly informed, the least profitable among the dailies. "The influence of the metropolitan dailies upon the thought and progress of the country is great, and with each year it may be expected to grow greater. For the standards of education are slowly but surely rising, and the disposition will propor tionally increase to turn for intellectual food as well as for intelligence to the centre to which these deside rata naturally gravitate. Whatever marvellous development may be in store for the heart of the continent or the golden cities of the Pacific Slope, New York is and must remain the capital of the nation; a nation which bids fair to outstrip in num bers and power, as it already surpasses in extent of territory, all the great empires of modern times. The responsibility of the metropolitan press which is to witness, record, and stimulate this growth is an important and solemn one. The intellectual future of the people lies in a great measure in its hands. Surveying its past history and measuring it in relation to national development, it is impos sible to doubt its influence, and impossible not to regret that that influence has not in all re pects, -as it has in most, been exerted for noble and salutary ends. The mighty future, how ever, remains open before it. The press, with the country it represents, will grow and expand and strengthen until it will be to its former self as the giant is to the stripling. Opportunities to do good— to arouse mental activity, to elevate aesthetic stand ards, to inspire a lofty national policy, to encourage the magnificent social and political renovations to wards which, with many a jar, check, and hind rance, the fabric of the world is slowly moving— these and other glorious opportunities will be in the hands of the journalist's of the future. Let us hope they will be appreciated in a catholic spirit and em ployed to every chivalrous, progressive, and patri otic end." We do not know whether the reviewer intends to return to the Metropolitan newspapers, as he has left a large field still untouched. He launches in his third article into the country papers, and into the provinces we propose hereafter to follow him. One of the most interesting of the New York papers is the weekly Review, in which the writer gives expression to his criticisms. The rise and progress of the Round Table is more suggestive of the history of journalism in New York than perhaps any newspaper there published. The Round Table does not call itself a newspaper, being purely a re view of literature, society, and art ; yet, we pre sume, it is legally included in the category. With all the literary merit of the London Saturday Re view, it is free from the defects of that paper. It does not seek, by giving the reins to a sarcastic and bitter spirit to increase the circulation, pandering to some of the most hateful feelings of our nature. It is eminently fair and truthful ; broad in its views, fearless in enunciating them ; free from all party bias, taking and maintaining its stand on the most solid platform, and each week writing so forcibly as to increase an influence destined, we feel sure, to have a most beneficial effect. Not only does it handle political subjects with a powerful grasp, un ravelling the most intri c ate questions, but it exposes social delinquenci es , so as to touch the sinners to the quick, and force men and women to mend their manners. No journal has done so much to elevate the tone of the American press, and considering its youth, whatever may be its success commercially, of which we know nothing, the power it has attained makes it a prodigy among publications.

The New York correspondent of the Standard, in his letter published iu yesterday's issue of that journal, continues his efforts to libel the country from which he writes. " I can say," he states, " without fear of contradiction, that there is no other country in the world where the white skin predominates in which so great a contempt for human life exists, and there is no other country where, all laws, human and divine, are so persistently violated." 'We can say, in reply, that there is no other country where the great mass of the peopl9 are so conservative and _law abiding. That the United States are deluged with the riff-riff and criminals of Europe is true ; and that the city of New York, the main receptacle into which the dregs settle down, is very injuriously affected is equally true. But it is to the honour of the Republican Government of the country that the tendency is to raise in the moral scale the immigrants received, and we believe that no other nation could have borne such an inroad without hopelessly sinking beneath the burden. If immigration stopped, the nation would rise quickly to a higher moral standard ; bu t the upward tendency is balanced by the constant influx. Nothing could be more easy than for the Loudon correspondent of a New York daily to pic ture England as a sink of iniquity, basing his ob servations on the revelations of Trades' Unions and of Joint-stock Companies —on the social evil—of the prevailing drunkenness, and on the open vio lence to person and property practised in the broad daylight in this great metropolis. Then we would have the London journals commenting severely on the injustice to and dislike of the Britisher, as dis played in the columns of the New York Herald or the New York Times. The correspondent states that in the city of New York and in the neighbour ing city of Brooklyn 13 murders have been coal' witted since the preceding Sunday morning, that is from the 9th to 15th June :—" People may ask —To what is this demoralisation of American. society due ? Probably, to no single cause. The war bred disregard for human life, extravaganc e in expenditure, a contempt for the restraints of law . ' But the war ended two years ago, and matters ar e , worse now than they were then. How much 0 ` our troubles are due to the horrible transfornl3' tions that have been worked in our churches, ha l much to the triumph of the old feral instinet4 gratified in the conquest of the South, how nl l - I°l3 , 1 to the growing love of display and bounce, I wi ll not venture to say.

After describing tb . horrible orgies in which the most abandoned 10 New York took part, the writer goes on to ss, " that such things can have place in a country D ot verned, as the Radicals assert, by a ' party of gr e ;,, moral ideas'—in a pure Republic—will perhaps s ' l j, prise people who are accu s to m ed to what Dlr.
