While England is in tho throes of a political co vulsion, the Round Table in New York has com , meuced a controversy on the subject, which has led to the English agitation—the gov,:rnment of numbers. The article in the literary journal was answered by the Spring field Republican and the New York Times, and again replied to by the Round Table in an article headed " Democracy" in the issue of the 21 inst. These articles have reference to the political system of the United States, and it is in structive to see what so admirably conducted and impartial a review as the Round Table says on the subject. The Republican says the Round Table objects to our use of the word democracy, as applied to our Government. It says :—" In the first place, our government is not a democracy, in 'the sense in which Dr. Blackie and the Round Table use the word. It is a republic, a representa tive government ; and, so far from being impos sible to keep it within any assignable limits, it is strictly limited and sacredly and impregnably guarded. A written constitution is the sheet anchor of our liberties. This instrument embodies the deliberate wisdom of the best. It is impossible for any department of the Government to set it aside for any length of time. It contains within itself the means for its own vindication. . . ". Our Government is not an unrestrained democracy; but a constitutional, carefully guarded, and admirably balanced Republican system, in which each depart ment is independent within its prescribed limits, and each keeps guard over the others to restrain • any departure from those limits." After quoting the best authorities to show that the word was cor rectly applied, the Round Table thus proceeds : " The substantial point which we assumed, and sought by illustrative facts to prove, was that prac tically we did not enjoy those blessings which theo retically our Government bestows. Whether it is a democracy or not, we submit that this point re mains untouched. By its fruits our system must be judged. 'lt is,' says the Republican, a consti tutional; Carefully guarded, andadmirably balanced Republican system.' Suppose we grant this and acknowledge a demonstrated inaccuracy in styling it a democracy ; let us proceed to ask; do its guards. and balances secure us, in fact, a good Govern ment 2 Do they give us immunity from corruption either.:at Washington or New York ? Do they froVid6 • us with a swift and trustworthy admi nistration of justice ? Do they place in the important positions of trust and responsibility the wisest, best-educated, and most virtuous members of the community ? Do they, in ge neral, exert a tendency to elevate the standards of public and private morality? Do they protect the intelligent few from being oppressed, put out of sight, and practically disfranchised by the ignorant many ? If .they do these things, then, indeed, we grievously err to criticise them, and, whether they constitute the machinery of a democracy or not, as good citizens we should strive firmly to uphold and perpetuate them. But if we - arrive, after deliberate reflection, at a contrary opinion, it becomes equally a solemn duty to point out, if we can, their defects, and to bend every energy to improve and to correct them. It might, perhaps, be impossible to realise the ideal of Aristotle's Politica, in which the majo rity should truly govern for the good of the whole ; and The Republican would probably agree with us that a democracy would be undesirable in which the majority should govern solely for the good of them selves ; but this slimed furnish no conclusive reason for cherishing with scrupulously superstitious ex actness a system in which it could he shown that a majority governed neither for their own real good nor for that of anybody else." The Republican, in another part of its article admits that " undoubtedly there are dangers peculiar to ' the government of numbers,' and with the universal suffrage which is to be the rule, we may experience some of them. But nothing is gained by exciting alarm and cul- tivatiug distrust of the system of popular govern ment. Our forefathers recognised the great fact that popular intelligence and virtue are essential to the full success of free institutions." But if such dangers undoubtedly exist, by what means are we to provide for them—by shutting our eyes to their possibility? And, if their existence be admitted, and a necessary provision to meet them be implied, by what secret measures is it to be com passed without, to some extent, exciting alarm and cultivating distrust of the system of popular govern ment? Distrust and alarm might very judiciously be dispensed with if reform could be brought about without publicity. If this is impracticable, the Re publican's adinission destroys the force of its criticism. That popular intelligence and virtue are essential to the full success of free institutions is patent enough. In the absence of that full success, we are forced to impugn popular intelligence and virtue ; a circum stance whichis unfortunate but unavoidable. Again to quote Mr. Mill, " In politics, as in mechanics, the power which is to keep the engine going must be sought for outside the machinery ; and if it is not forthcoming, or is insufficient to surmount the ob stacles,which may reasonably be expected, the contriv ance will rail. This is no peculiarity of the political. art ; and amounts only to saying that it is subject to the same limitations and conditions as all other arts." Now, whatever the intrinsic excellence of our political machine, this exterior power of intelligence and virtue is manifestly deficient. Whether owing to the universal lust for gold, to immigration, to weakened religiOus convictions, or to all these or other causes, the requisite power has diminished and apparently continues to diminish. There is no logi cal escape from the conclusion that ultimately vire must get more power or alter the machine ; and which alternative we shall select—or whether it may be worth while to attempt to modify and recipro cally adapt both—is a legitimate subject for dis cussion. Our critic calls in question elsewhere our remarks as to the exceptionally mutable character or deteriorating tendency of Democracy ; this, it assumes, is a characteristic which it possesses only in common with any and every system ;—" The Radical difficulty about Democracy, as the Round Table looks at it, is that ' you cannot keep it within any assignable limits or at any lasting equipoise.' The same thing may be said of any and every sys tem of government, and it will remain true so long as men are imperfect in knowledge and goodness. When they outgrow these defects, which necessarily mar and pervert all their action, they will need no government. The very qualities of human nature that make government necessary render it imperfect. But it is not to be denied that men will do better for themselves than others will do for them, and the theory of Democratic institutions rests upon the impregnable basis of human nature. Enlightened selfishness is the grand regulator." We believe, however, that the unvarying tendency of govern ments of numbers is admitted by publicists and shown by history to be that of depositing power with lower and lower intelligences, gravitating downwards, until it falls at last into the hands of the least educated and least virtuous persons of the commu- nity. Is it unjust or exaggerated to say that this tendency is signally exemplified by our own experi ence? Can we look at our municipal chambers in New York, at our Legislature at Albany, at our halls of Congress at Washington, to-day, and truthfully say that we furnish an exception ? En lightened selfishness may be a grand regulator ; but how if the selfishness be not enlightened, and if the proofs—strong as holy writ—are constantly staring us in the face ? Once more, and to supply a partial explanation, let us borrow the words of the author of " Representative Government:" " Ido not look upon equal voting as among the things which are good in themselves, provided they can be guarded against inconveniences. I look upon it as only relatively good ; less objectionable than inequality of privi lege grounded on irrelevant or adventitious circum stances, but in principle wrong, because recognising a wrong standard, and exercising a bad influence PRICK.... 4d. STAMPED sd. lon the voter's mind. It is n o t u s eful but hurtf u l that the constitution of the country should declare ignorance to be entitled to as much political power as knowledgm. The national institutions should place all things that they are concerned with beform the nminds of time citizen in the light in which it is for his good that he should iegard them ; and as it is for his good that he should think that every one is entitled to some influence, but the better and wiser to more than others, it is important that this conviction should be professed by the state and embodied in the national institutions. Such timings constitute the spirit of the institutions of a country; that portion of their influence which is least regarded by common thinkers; though the institutions of every country not under great positive oppression produce more effect by their spirit than by any of their direct provisions, since by it they shape the national character. The American institutions have imprinted strongly on the American mind that any one man (with a white skin) is as good as any other ; and it is felt that this false creed is nearly connected with some of the more unfavourable points in American character. It is not a small mischief that the constitution of any country should sanction this creed ; for the belief in it, whether express or tacit, is almost as detrimental to moral and intellectual excellence as any effect which most forms of sovernment can produce." The fact that the very qualities of human nature that make go vernment necessary render it imperfect is, of course, a truism. It furnishes a general explanation of de fect, but as .an argument against reform or change it is quite as applicable in behalf of a despotism as in that of a republic. COMFORT FOR CONSERVATISM. (From the Westminster Gazette.) One of the most philosophic, as well as best known, customs of the Spartans was their method of inculcating the wisdom of sobriety. Instead of a lachrymose and hypocritical Stiggins, in lieu of an earnest and artistic but dogmatic Cruik shank, these wily Lacedgemonians plied their will ing Helots with the juice of the grape, and then displayed each feature, each phase, of a degraded,' ludicrous, and brutal intoxication to their dis ' gusted children. That a lesson thus taught was effective, the unwalled safety of Sparta during eight of the most warlike centuries the world has ever known is conclusive proof. And it is one other proof, among many, that practice in good or in evil is more seductive or repulsive than precept. We have no idea whether this most interesting and mournful work was written with what is called " a purpose." But whether the editor of one of our leading literary journals, in taking his autumnal tour, wished to point a grand moral while he adorned a very enhancing tale ; or whether, with habits of travel and observation strong on him, he went forth to this crowning journey without prejudices and without predilec tions, simply recording his experiences, the result is exactly the same. The perusal of these two volumes would appear to us 0 have the same effect as to unbridled liberty, upon the nature that the sight of a drunken slave used to produce as to intoxication upon the mind of a Spartan Let us, in proceeding to justify :this to some startling assertion, take a comprehensive view of the subjects of Mr. Dixon's book. He went out, he tells us, " to see the noblest work England has achieved in history," a work done, as he adas, by the union of " a large love of liberty " and " a deep sense of religion." He - went in search of an old world, and found instead new ideas, new purposes, new methods; in short that "New America, which gives title to his travels. Mr. Dixon appears to have used his opportunities well. He tells what he saw and heard clearly and incisively, seldom encrusting his text with his own conclusions as to the facts he lays before his readers, and never indulging in dogmatism or contempt. Upon the whole, we gather that he is pleased with his ex periences. He is evidently impressed with the gigantic scale upon which everything is said and done in America ; a manner which harmonized with the natural features of this colossal country. He foresees a great and happy future for the States and their people ; even the negro is to be blessed ; while the red man is mirrored so picturesquely that one feels half inclined to forget his woes and his speedy extinction. We envy Mr. Dixon his rose-tinted predictions, for, to our mind, the results of American ways and fashions will be far different to those of his imaginings. It does not seem too much to assert that, since their settlement, the States have been the resort, the refuge, and the paradise of the unruly and the ungovernable. The Virginian Fathers, the early British con victs, the Teuton, Scandinavian, and Celtic emi grants, all had and have this type in common ; and upon our writer's own showing there is not one political or social phase, where the absence of self-constraint, audacity of , self-assertion, and want of national fortitude (so to speak), are not painfully apparent. American opinion and the English political school founded on it see only na tional dotage and fatuity in the whoresome- re straints of Church and State. Respect for the doctrines of an immutable faith, affection for time-honoured ecclesiastical teaching and doctrine, are as silly to the minds of the great exemplars of modern progress as a belief in consistent, Conser vative Statecraft. If the Church is powerless to lay down permanent laws,. even if founded upon Scriptural and Apostolic authority, if she is una ble actually to define the bounds of religious be lief and speculation, why should the State aspire to bind man's utter freedom in politics ? Nay, further, what need of penal laws and their attend ant punishments, when every man, woman, and child is able to boast that personal will or whim is the only motive worth obedience ? We read the answers to these queries sorrowfully enough in Mr. Dixon's " New America." We pay the author a poor compliment in say ing we feel his recital to be true, for the simple reason that there does not exist a man subtle, sarcastic, and clever enough to have invented so diabolical a picture. Dean Swift had parts, but this book beats his happiest efforts hollow. There is scarcely a crime under heaven which teste " New America" is not in full swing there. " Bleeding" Kansas is an appropriate locale from which to start on a Dantesque journey, like Mr. Dixon's, to appropriate horrors are not lacking to stain every inch of the itinerary. The perils of the mail journey between At chison and Salt Lake are graphically recounted. The ferocities of the whites and reds are brought before us with a vividness that is startling. These amenities adorn the path to the soi-disant. New Jerusalem—the harem of Brigham Young and his satellites. Here we are shown the marvels of a lustful, hoarish polygamy, and the advantages of a burlesque coalition of Abraham Mahummed, and a sensation novel. The beauties of 'a recently ex posed system of slavery come next. The miserable caricature of the feudal Barron, in the person of the slave-owner, with his debaucheries, his idle ness, and his languid pride forms a hero for this portion of the travel. But as a corrective to these scenes we are treated to a peep at the inner life of the " Shakers "—persons who live toge ther, male •and female, in what is called Resur rection order, i.e., without ailtabitation and with out carnal love. To vary this religious kaleide scope we next come to " Spiritualism," and to the mediums who practice the art, in a religious, medical, and worldly sense. After this no surprise can be excited by a chapter headed "The Revolt of Woman," which appropriately paves the way for more than one section of the book descriptive of another phase of eccentricity, to wit, the doings of 1 tells us that i n pi ous, " there is a ve r y s t range , part of women i n th e upper ra. ~ the end of which would be this rath er puzzling fact, that th ere wou ld be no more baby- s h ows i n the country, since there would be no longe r any A mericans in America !" After this hint of an a b om i na b le national crime, one is almost too " scare d " to note that Mr. Dixon proves most conclusively that the flour-eau ! riche. who the other day gave a high prize to any Iman ivho might be call e d a gent l eman without libel, knew well what he was about; and also how un likely it would be that any American could ever gain it. We do not even gasp at the author's reply to Secretary Seward, " I find your country so free that nobody seems to have any rights !" Nor are we much startled to find that all Mr. Dixon's facts, in spite of some optimist deductions therefrom, go to prove . that the whole country, North and South, East and West, is as near an approach to a model Pandemonium as the heart of man has the wickedness to conceive. If these results, then, have crowned two centuries of Radical Liberalism —if man has of himself no better fruits to gather of self-government—let us thank God that the old landmarks of Church and State are still firm among us. And let us hope that in those mys terious ebbings and flowing of human passion and action which characterise every age, the great human family may again, and on earth, be gathered to the one . Church under the one Shep herd. - Strike of Engine-Drivers on the Brighton Railway. The following is a copy of a resolution passed yes. terday by the board of this railway :--- " That, in accordance with the recommendations of Mr. Craven and Mr. Hawkens, the directors will with great pleasure give a gratuity of two guineas to each driver and one guinea to each fireman. who has not deserted his post this day, while so many are endeavouring to force the directors to comply with demands which they consider unreasonable. " That any such driver who was previously receiv ing a lesser sum shall at once be advanced to the first class and receive 7s. 6d. per day, and each fireman 4s. Gd. per day, with the assurance that, come what may, the directors will employ them at the above rate so long as they perform their duty. " That believing a large majority of those who are still out will (upon reflection) regret having pushed matters to such an extremity, they are will ing to receive back into the service any of the old hands who may rejoin it not later than Thursday next. "By order, " A. SAILE, Acting Secretary." Yesterday the engine•drivers on the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway put into effect their predetermined resolution to strike in case the demands which they recently made were not granted by the directors. Up to a late hour on Monday night a large number of the men remained about the com pany's offices, discussing the various phases of the movement in which they were themselves partici pators. Ultimately a council was held, in which it appears it was determined that the answer of the Board to their petition was not satisfactory, and that, therefore, the men would refuse to resume work yesterday morning. At Brighton, where some of the engine-drivers reside, a similar decision was arrived at, so that in all about 350 men resolved on leaving temporarily, at least, the company's service. The directors, we understand, conceded all that was demanded concerning shed days, Sundays, and the distance to be traversed per week-750 miles being the maximum of regular duty, and all beyond that to be charged as extra work. The crucial point, how ever, they refused to grant—namely, that in which the men demanded that increase of wages should be regulated at the rate of 6d. per day additional for every six months' service until the maxi mum of 7s. 6d. per day was reached. The Board, however, consented to comply on the condition that the six months should not be considered the stan dard time upon which to erect a claim for advance of pay. They al ge that such a claim is not rea sonable. and it certainly does not appear just that all the men should be promoted with equal rapidity irresp?ctive of their skill, ability, or good conduct. The pay of the drivers, according to the directors scheme, is to begin at Gs., and be capable of in crease to 7s. 61. a day ; that of the firemen to vary from 3s. 6d. to 4s. 6d., according to service and merit. As may be anticipated great confusion and con ' siderable excitement prevailed yesterday at the company's terminus. Virtually all traffic was stopped between London and Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings, St. Leonard's, and Chichester. The Epsom Spring Meeting opened yesterday, and the disappointment of hundreds of sportsmen, who had intended to go down by train, was expressed with such, freedom and vigour as sorely to test the pa tience of the officials who remained at their posts. On being made acquainted with the determination of the men the directors made application for assist 7 ance in their difficulty to the managers of other lines ; but, as might be expected, very few could be sub tracted from their own staff of drivers, who must be skilled in their business and possessed of consi derable intelligence and power of observation. Under these circumstances it was resolved to make a re duction in the number of trains, and to limit their speed to 20 miles an hour. The trains were driven by travelling railway inspectors and by foremen of works, accompanied by competent men on the en gines who thoroughly understand the signals. In some cases on the main line two and three ordinary trains were made into one, but not exceeding 18 or 20 carriages in the wholcon an average ; and "short service" trains, so called, were worked between Victoria and West Croydon on the one hand, and between the Crystal Palace and London-bridge on the other. In this way the directors are adapting themselves to the inconvenience to - .vhich they have been thus suddenly subjected, with all the atten ' dant loss. In the meantime all the ordinary time tables are in abeyance, and the season-ticket holders, on the principal' line especially, aro being seriously incommoded. The 6 o'clock train got away in good time, considering all the circum stances which impeded any hpproach to regularity, but the train which should have started at 8 did not move from the terminus till after 10. On the South London line only one engine was employed, and the traffic to and from the Crystal Palace was almost en tirely suspended. The hundreds of city gentlemen residing in the suburbs, and who ordinarily avail themselves of this railway to come up to town, were of course put to inconvenience, and altogether the event was attended by an immense amount of ex citement and loss of time and business. All the available foremen have been put in charge andlm m toh set of v trains, and every exertion is being made bytheeelthe di rectors entangled. d macnnalgties in whichthey find managers to obviate and insur mountabledifficulties The men on thei r p art are still holding out and Firemen's and d n , ,sunin el n eg y a es te te s from the rdaysat in Engine-driverscouncil deli berating on the question at issue. Among other prominent objections to the Pan recommended by the Board there is one which has been made a special topic of deprecation—natnely, that the power of pro motion should rest with local superintendents. The men say that such a system would materially dimi nish incentive to exertion, inasmuch as advancement would be regulated not by merit but by favouritism. Last evening the diree'ors circulated a handbill stating that experienced and competent drivers and firemen, with satisfactory testimonials, may meet immediately with pvrmanunt engagements, at full and liberal pay, by applying to Mr. J. C. Craven, locomotive superintendent, London-bridge ter minus. CESSION OF THE BAY OF SAMCslA.—Private ad vices which we have just received from San Domingo lead us to believe that the late Seward-Porter mission to the West Indies was by no means suck a failure as it was hastily proclaimed to be by those who knew nothing what ever about it. If our advices from the island be correct, the mission of Assistant -Secretary Seward was successfully accomplished ; the points of negotiation and treaty were established with President Cabral, and an official agent has arrived in this country bearing a preliminary treaty which has received the sanction of the legislative and executive authorities of San Domingo, and this preliminary treaty will presently be submitted, if it has not by this time been submitted, to our Government.—New York, Times.

MANAGER AT THE MINES. 'Capt. B. Rowse, Mining Engineer. SECRETARY. William Henry Harden, Esq. REGISTERED OFFICES. 5, Batavia Buildings, Hackius Hey, Liverpopl. ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. The object of the Company is to acquire three valuable mining properties in Carmarthenshire ; that is to say, New Nantymwyn, Gilfach, and Glan-Towy. New Nantymwyn is a continuation westward of the celebrated Nantymwyn Mines. These Mines have been worked to immense profit for centuries, and appear to be perfectly inexhaustible. Some idea may bo formed of the great value of these Lodes from the fact that they occupy a channel of 180 feet in width, consisting of six divisions or lodes, and that a sink on one of them is now yielding eighteen tons of rich quality ore, worth upwards of £2OO per fathom for Lead. _ 2dly. The Gilfach property consists of a Load Mine, worked to some extent and furnished with water machi nery, in which a discovery of Lead Ore has been made by an Adit. It is proposed by the Company to extend the shaft downwards on this course of ore, as well as to ex plore another discovery of ore in the sett on the Lady Eliza No. 2 Lode,where there is a good back of ore ground cropping up to and extending a considerable length along the surface. 3dly. Glan-Towy is an old Lead Mine. Shafts, which have yielded Lead Ore in some quantity, exist on the top of the hill, and the present Company propose to drive an Adit to prove the value of the Lode under the old sinks. Plans taken from the Ordnance Survey,-showing the ex act positio n o f th e Lodes, together with ground plans of the estate s ec ti ons of the Mines, and reports by skilful mining engineer; are appended, and will be forwarded on application to the Secretary. Specimens of the ore may be seen at the Company's Offices. Taking into consideration the position of the Mines, the highly favourable prospects, and the return of ore being immediately available, the Directors feel confident that, with the outlay proposed, profits equal to the adjoining mines will be participated in by the Shareholders. Applications for Shares, to b 3 accompanied with the deposit of ss. per Share, may be made to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, or the Bankers. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SIIARES.
