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 ! 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, utters her con demnation : Fern magst du zu Barbaren, Des geizes knechten, fahren. Barbarians—slaves of avarice—how much were to he 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 doth Antichrist at his work of destruc tion hover over this slime ; and, as Christ taught St. Peter to walk on the waters, so doth 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 see 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 P.ovoln tion. Those who pay homage to her—princes as well as statesmen, demagogues as well as the masses, influenced by the sentiment of an 64 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 Porn Miguel is in Klein-Hen bath, 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 Karlshii . he. 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 was : " illhat 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, 0116 to whom his domestics were devotedly at tached, who was honoured and loved by every one in Henbach, Wertheim, Bitmnbach, and in the whole Main and Taub er country, and by the poor and necessitous quite worshipped." Many touching instances of the beneficence and gener osity of the duke were narrated to me, and 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 deception 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 perfectly into its opposite in the course of time that a sanguinary despot should become the mildest of men. PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED 5(1. 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; NorthumberlAndMiners; Joicey's Workmen ; Fish Merchants ani Curvi.s - ; 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 ; Onsebura Engine Works ; Amalgamated Carpenters and Joiners, Joiners of Walker, Wallsend, and Jarrow, and .:Plasterers ; Plate glass Makers arid Elswick Saw Mills; Sunderland Procession ; Tinplate Workers ; Foresters' Court (Blaydon) ; Wireworkers, CO , operative Smiths ; South Shields Procession ; Coopers and Corkcut ters ; Tyne Watermen, Painters ; Boilermak ers , 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-A., 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, the charges 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'Donoghue, Mr. John Stuart Mill, Mr. G. 0. Trovelyan, Mr. Joseph Cowen, Mr. John Candlish, and all those who have supported the people's claim and vindicated 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 unito with the men of London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, Dublin, and elsewhere, in their determina tion to press the question 'of Reform to an immediate settle 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 au 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. Mr. Walpole, Secretary of State for the Home Department, was waited upon yesterday afternoon by a deputation of the Harveian Society of London, composed as follows :—Dr. Tyler Smith (president), Dr. J. E. Pollock, Mr. J. Brandon Curgenven, and Dr. C. Drysdale, hon. secs. ; Mr. Ernest Hart, Mr. Benson Baker, Mr. Sedgwick, Dr. H. C. Stewart, Dr. W. Camps, Dr. W. Menzies, Dr. W.

That the regis tration of an illegitimate child in any other name than that of its mother, when known, or the regis tering an illegitimate child as a legitimate one, should be a punishable offence. That the crime of infanticide should not be punishable by death ; but that the recommendation of the Royal Commission on Capital Punishments be adopted, and that the offence be considered as murder in the second degree. 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 four months has elapsed, the mother, if a single woman, should be allowed to leave the infant iu the workhouse ; and that the gua,rdi3n6 be empowered to recover from the mother Dom Miguel and the Revolution. (From the Westminster Gazette.) 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 Freon:mons, were PYponfod under his Government ; a twelfth escaped. Dom 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 e d n e t ed o . f c T a i v ie al ry,happening by chance to come up, pre ven t e d th e f u ll accomp li s h ment o f the horrible murder of teachers by their scholars in this olarsapproximates to the horror of parricide ; but caseother !a father and son actually con fronted each _ . When Dom Miguel, a few short weeks ago, sud denly stricken with apoplexy and speechless, stretched out one hand to his brother-in-law, Prinoe Lliwenstein, while with the other he pressed to his lips the image of the Crucified, which was hangi ng on his breast, at that moment the recollectio n o f the flag i t i ous s t u d en t s o f Coimbra most assuredly did not trou bl e th e peace of his noble soul. Although Dom Miguel reigned in Portugal as legitimate princ e , and at the same t i me as th e prince of their ch o i ce i n t h e h ear t s o f hi s p eo pl e , nevertheless the task of his Government was anything but an easy one. The partisans of the revolution diffu se d their po i sonous pr i nc i p l es i n at every circle int o w hi ch they cou ld creep ; ers, compared home their numb ed to the mass of the nation, sh run k i nto insign ifi cance, 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 remai n d ea f Portuguese people ; their undoubtedly tsheenctfollowing year, 1833, t t ilo o ob tl it t eh e ett un ns i da f te t d iecirti N n :o g.w i s c li e otoofhativiee Wretchedness, of so the ln only made use of an auxiliary force for the defence of Porn had not the latt er tin an ally on th e t er/US , n evitig nol willing recognising ig,o t 0 stlegi timatehpeaiirn r w g S h o a t v s s e ble been too lust, aloud, lon Carlos, .With his family, had fled from Spain into Portugal; now Spain required that Portugal should refuse him art asylum.

But Ili tifei'etit the eantliidgt of Portugal by Spain (*hose territory enclosed him on the landside), backed by England and Prance, 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 he 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 in such cases a petition only of thL _ • _ the maintenance of th e c hil d. That tliksuattanli, should have power to recover from the father of an 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 maximum sum which may be assessed on the father of an illegitimate child should be 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 an illegitimate child to nurse Rim is not registered as a fit and proper person ; and that she and the chile or children, in her care, should be under the sur,er_ vision of the district Poor-law medical officer. A ny 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 childre n 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 : —l. 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. WALPoLF, said the observations that had been made were forcible ; but the only thing he could say now in regard to any legislation on the 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 meetin g 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 go ne 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 Ave 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 for 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 t 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 weight cer tainly nearest to the former country. The great Calcutta, at centre of European end p e hu und w o i u th bted th l e y in fluence of an excellent so p c oc r pi e ie s nt s yi an drailways, too, had removed . , on e w xer t as h as ere, ed great on the judgment of the Governmetnhte. necessity y p o h f s fixing the le seathis opinionof the Government Governor-General in a more place. be almost übiquitous, and, except during the three or four months while the Legislature was in Ses sion at Calcutta, it was his duty to visit the Go vernors of the other Presidencies ; for without per sonal intercourse it was almost impossible to under stand properly their politics. Sir Ch ARLES 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 publi c opinion which controlled it. No doubt, the climate of Calcutta and Madras was unfavourable to Euro peans, but the Council of India had to endure it at the former place as they best could, and unless the Governor took his Council with him on the tours 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 Affgban war. Sir EnsEINE 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 HENRYRAWLINSON brought the d iscussion to a close by strongly advocating the cla ims of Po ona which he thought to be both from a polfiticalor a new sanitary point of view, a dmirably adapted capital if one waste be chos en. The meeting then adjourned. ; i f b i u t t c how oul .------- I_ ADVERTISFMENT.I—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— Ready to Hand.—Every good and generous person feels a muchnatural m s o y r sympathy pa gracefulth y i in wouldthe )re th s t e tt ne L o n f pa s s u s ff iZ in l g )e supply the means of relief.
