MARK HIJISH. Enston-station, March, 1855. We mentioned a few•days ago (says the Afail) that Mr. Wallace, the veteran ref( —. T . merly member for Greenock, was labouring under a sud den attack of bronchitis which alarming his friends. ~ It i s now our melancholy' duty ,to announce the fatal issue of that attack. Mr. Wallace died at his residedoe, Seafield Cottage, near Greenock, - early on the - morning of Sunday last, at the patriarchal age of 82 years. Mr. Wallace wa,3 the first member for Greenock in the re formed Parliament, and it was ample evidence of the faj four successive elections free of expense, iernoonusstiltiyi.enHtse enwtitehrehdispsaerrlilimceesntthiantltBh3e3y, after 13 years' faithful and laborious ser vitude, inns returned a c q t ul i o ibt n ut eth o dui f mni hta, ating down himself n f o ro p m oly the out penny postage. That attempting gen tleman distinguished u of the Ministers of the Crown, who had hitherto reserved to themselves the privilege of introducing public measures into Parliament. It was Mr. Wallace's labours in con nection with the reform of post office abuses, however, s v e i t t u i d: , i u l 84 5 . and in procuring penny postage, which especially entitle him to notice. He laboured long and assiduously in this cause, and it was while doing so that Mr. R. Hill frankly admitted that it was Mr. Wallace's expo stepped in with his scheme of sures that led him to take up the subject at all, and that it was his indomitable and persevering energy in and out of Parliament which obtained the inestimable mea sure of penny postage to the country.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC, JOURNALS. • Russell went to Vienna--at least , in so far as his mission bad the assent of the nation—for the mere purpose of Jeffecting a peace. He was despatched to the scene of the Conferences, rather:to demon strate to all the Powers, and to the common enemy more especially, th a t the time for temporising was past, aid the time fur action come. Discussions, on the items of the suggested arrangement, were a mere secondary consideration, by comparison with the great question—whether Russia shogld or should not be permitted to pursue her plans of universal aggression. The "sincerity "of Russia_ was entirely out of the question. In one sense, indeed, the new doctrine to which we have referred is true—that she is so thoroughly insincere as to preclude the idea of adopting towards her, in treaty-making, any other principle of action than that of retaining the " power to enforce." If Se bastopol is of no importance why is it attacked ? If it is of imp or t ance, why shouldl the supperterS Qf the Government here, and the enemies of the Government of France, show themselves so anxious for the conclusion of a peace which would not in clude its dismantlement ? One great mistak arguments in fay( therefore, a tempo) if she were in the • Power. Her pa: wholly belie this v actually less to say in the management of affairs than they had under Henry Vlll.,and Elizabeth. Henry employed the Pagets and Greshams : Elizabeth the Cecils, Walsingbams, Hattons, and Raleighs, all of them origi na ll y b e l ong i ng to the " middle class." In those days the Government was in advance of the nation ; now that our noble or courtly families monopolise all civil appointments, the nation is in advance of the Government. Unless the-Govern ment revert to the policy of the Tudor era, one of two results is inevitable : either the strength of our administrative system must dwindle for want of supplies of new vigorous talent, till it becomes utterly frivolous and incompetent ; or, the "mid dle class "—the great body of citizens whose talent have been developed by education or the pursuits of practical life —must take the management of affairs into their own hands. Neither the real aristocracy on the one hand, nor the proletariat on the other, have any cause to be jealous of this assertion of the claims of the " mid dle class." All the younger ,branches of every no ble family belong to this class. As good —some times better—blood pulses in the veins of the un titled class as those of the wearers of coronets. Again, with the diffusion of education and intelli gence, the circle of the " middle class " is con , stantly extending. Of right the whole body of skilled artisans are comprehended in it, nor is theil claim to be 'regarded as belonging to it seri ous l 3 l disput , :d by any one. All who by steady regulate industry achieve an independence, however mode rate their means--all who cultivate the talents wit which nature has endowed them, are now recog-i nised as members of the "middle class." To asser4 the claims of the " middle class" to participation in the'management of st a t e affairs; is simply to adyiste Government to make approved official aptitude the sole title for eligibility to office. The highest aristocrat, and the man sprung from the lowesti ranks, would, under such a system, have a fait chance of empl o y men t, if t h ey deserved it: Such a system would enable Government t 4 avail itself of the full intellectual and moral power of the nation, instead of being obliged, as it present, to put up with the best talents that are t 4 be had in a very limited class. It would impart to our administrative Government that power ancl persevering energy which is at present to be found only in our industrial and scientific walks of life It would render our Government national, an worthy of the nation.

Simpkin ' Marshall, and Co., Stationer' s C our t , and all booksellers in town and country-. By four Sears orincessant attacks, Mr. Wallace de. stroyed the prestige once enjoy e d by he Pos'z-office, and exposed it to the w h o l esome i nfluence of public opin i on, " That Mr. W a ll ace was confessedly the author of such ' a national blessing as th e penny postage was a distinct* of whi c h h e h ad great reason to be proud, and which, now that he h as passe d away, entitles his memory to a place in • th e regar d s of not merely a section of the people, o r o f a di str i ct of the country, bnt of the world at large. Mr. Wallace's great services to the country in connexion with Post office reform were universally. appreciated.. He had honours showered upon him suffi cient to satisfy any man of ordinary ambition. He re ceived the freedcun of the city of Glasgow, of Aberdeen, of Paisley, Perth, Dingwall, Inverness, and of Dornoch. He wa s presented " with an address by the inhabitants of Kilmarnock-, and a beautifully writtiu communicatip from the Postmaster -General of France, complimenting him - on the reforMi- he bad effected in - the Post-age, besides compliments and addresses innumerable from other quarters. Our brief tribute to Mr. Wallace would I l e i ncomp l ete were we to omit mentioning that his quitting Pariia ment in 1845 was the result of certain reverses of fir tune, of which it is not here necessary more fully '0 speak, It was then that the aid of political and per sonal friends was delicately exercised in a way not lo offend the good and faithful servant, then bordering on fourscore years. A public testimonial realised between three and four thousand pounds, which sure was invested in the purchase of an annuity of about 5001. a-year. We are far from admitting that this was commensurate with the claims of a faithful public Servant, who had done so much in such a short period to benefit his fellow -men ; but it was sufficient to maintain Mr. Wallace in a position among his old friends to his own satisfaction, and he acknowledged the boon with becoming gratitude. Scarcely four years have elapsed since this arrangement was completed, and during that period Mr. Wallace has enjoyed the associa tion of a wide circle of friends, who cannot but regret that the intercourse has been so soon closed for ever. Mr. Wallace used to boast of his descent from Sir Wil liam.

THE NECESSITY FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION IN THE CRIMEA. (From the Times of this day.) If we now look back on the errors which have been committed in the course of this expedition we do not doubt that one of the gravest of them was the decision not to attack the enemy after the battle of Balaklava: Our fire had opened on the 17th of October, and the result had speedily shown that Sebastopol was not to be taken by the works and siege train then at the disposal of the allied armies: The Russians, under Liprandi, embol dened by our want of success, hung about our rear on the 25th and 26th of October, on which latter day they were dtfeated, _mainly by the skil ful dispositions of General Evans and the courage of the Second Division. Had the allied Generals decided at that momen t to throw their whole force upon the Russian army—for we had still at that time theneCessary supply of horses for the artillery —the results might have been decisive. Instead of that, they waited until the Russian reinforcements arrived, and on the sth of November our imper fect intrenchments were attacked by superior num bers, and we' suffered the frightful carnage of In kermau.- We allude to this incident now, because it offers some resemblance to the present position of the armies. There is great reason to suppose that the allied forces are about to repeat the attack of the 17th of October, on a much more formidable scale. This intention has, at any rate, been constantly announced, and a great part of the toils and hard ships sustained by, the army during the winter arose from the preparations incessantly carried on for this long -expected attack. We must assume, in spite of the delays which have intervened, that the same intention still exists ; for, if it were otherwise, the p erseverance of th commanders iu prolonging these arduous siege operations would be wholly inexplicable. Nor can the moment be much longer deferred at which such an attack may still be practicable, for the enemy has already shown with what incredible activity and vigour he has found means to bring up his reinforcements against us. We will suppose, therefore , that the attack by a prolonged cannonade is - to be made, and to be made soon, and that if we succeed in silencing the fire of any of the fronts of the place it will be followed by an immediate assault. God grant that such may be the case, and that while we are discussing the adverse as well as the favour able chances of the war some glorious and triumph ant achievement may terminate our uncertainty ! But it is not the less our duty to consider the other alternative, and to contemplate our position in the event of the failure of such an attack. That would indeed bring us back to the situation the armies were in on the eve of Balaklava and of Inkermaun, with this difference, that we could no longer entertain hopes of success against the south ern side of Sebastopol by the means hitherto em ployed to reduce it, and that, instead of the ap proach of winter, which served to impede the move ments of the enemy, we must now prepare for the approach of summer, which exposes our troops to a new class of dangers, and leaves our adversary in full possession of his resources. Such a state of affairs is at least so far possible that it ought to be provided against, and we ought to foresee by what means these difficulties may best be overcome and the campaign successfully carried on. A multi tude of expedients instantly suggest themselves to the mind, for the large naval force constantly at the . disposal of the Generals, and the facilities offered for every sort of operation on the southern coast of the Crimea, might enable them to pro ceed by means which have not hitherto been at tempted. We abstain from mere speculations on this subject, which would be valuless if they were unfounded, and might be injurious if they were correct. Bat we protest against the sup position that an Anglo-French army upwards of 100,000 strong has done all that can be done for the attainment of our objects when it has suc ceeded in maintaining an intrenched position against the enemy, and in opening a fire of great power but of doubtful effect upon the town. Such troops, handled by the Duke of Wellington, or by one of Napoleon' s M ars h a l s, wou ld sweep the country before them ; and, though we despair of nothing when we see tke courage they have on all occasions displayed, yet even that courage is wasted when it is not guided by military pains . in the chiefs of the army. HOW RUSSIA OUGHT TO BE DEALT WITH. (Prom the Morning Chronicle of this day.) We are required to subscribe to the doctrine, that, in considering the question of a peace with Russia, the sincerity of that Power is not a neces sary element of the discussion. The only guaran tee, we are told, for the permanency of such a peace, is the power to enforce it ! If this be the view of her Majesty's Government we congratulate them on having arrived at the only satisfactory solution of the question which now agitates the country. It is a remarkable fact, how ever, that no contradiction has yet appeared of the very circumstantial statements that have been published, to the effect that a peace was at least in contemplation which would ahnoit wholly have left out of view those material and substantial guaran tees which are provided by " the power to en force." There are two kinds of " power to en force" --the one arising from the positive weakness of your enemy, the other from your own supe riority in strength. Between these two modes of providing against future contingencies the Allies are now called upon to choose. Evidently, if Sebas topol were reduced to the rank of a mere mercan tile port, and if the Russian ships of war in the Black Sea were limited to a harmless number, there would be created such a positive weakness in the enemy that the future independence of Turkey would receive an additional guarantee. On the other hand, if a treaty were concluded which left Sebastopol as it. is, and permitted to Russia the means of augmenting and concealing the extent of her naval power, it is equally clear,' according to the doctrine to which we are required to subscribe, that the Allies would be compelled to maintain forces in theneighbourhood—or that Turkey would have in some corresponding way to be protected— to an extent equal to the means of annoyance thus left at the disposal of the enemy. To men of ordinary common sense the question of sincerity appears a very important one. For instance, suppose we had a quarrel with the United States, and that it were arranged by treaty, should we entertain any doubt of the honour and integrity of our American neighbours ? Should we think it necessary to provide a force which should Constantly be on the watch to prevent infringements of solemn engagements ? Is there any Power in the civilised world with respect to whom we should think it ne cessary to adopt such precautions, after the signa ture of the Power had once been appended to a treaty ? We will go farther. What is European international law ? Much of it, no doubt, rests upon the letter of treaties ; but how much more on the sense of honour and the national pride which prevent States from breaking engagements, lest they should find themselves excluded from the family of nations ? Surely, in this view of the case, it cannot be said that the question of sincerity is beyond the scope of the argument. On the contrary, the weight and value of such international arrangements depend upon the mutual confidence of the various States, and the reliance of each on the public honour of the others. There are many States in Europe whose inde pendence has survived wars of conquest and of revolution. Some of them are so insignificant, in a military point of view, that they could net pro long their existence a year if they were not pro tected by the sincerity with which greater States adhere to their mutual engagements to respect the neutrality of their weaker brethren. The sincerity with which a State enters into an engagement is the inducement to another State to propose it ; and England, more than any other European Power, has reason to uphold this doctrine, because, if this moral law of Europe were once set at naught, she would have, to an indefinite extent, to augment her " power to enforce" any treaty to which she might be a party. In dealing with Russia, we have to combat one of the most extraordinary combinations of fraud and force of which the annals of mankind afford an example ' There is the fraud, the dis c ipli ne d cunning, of the Orientals, with all the organisa tion of force which the civilisation of Europe teaches. If we were dealing with pure Orien tals, we should frustrate their cunning by the use of force—if we were dealing with pure Euro peans, we should exercise a moral influence over their force by the action of that international law which, by common consent, has been established among States. As it is, we are engaged with a hybrid race, who have too long been indulged with the courtesies of diplomatic intercourse, and who have shown that they only adopt its forms in order the better to succeed in effectuating a scheme of conquest to which there would be no limit but that wh i i t ch is m q a u d it e e A a le m x i a s n ta d k e e r t w o ee 3 p u . pp on that Lord John MISMANAGEMENT IN THE CONDUCT OF THE WAR. (From the Daily News of this day.) There is a little episode oomkeeted with the War which should not be overlooked. Lord Raglan obtained authority from the Government, in De cember last, to send to India for two regiments of English cavalry, should he deem such an increase requisite for the army in the Crimea. His Lord ship did think the reinforcement necessary, and did send to India for the Dragoons —the Tenth Hussars and Twelfth Lancers —numbering 600 men and horses in each corps. The order arrived at Bombay for the former regiment to be despatched forthwith, via Egypt, to the seat of war. In an incredibly short time the corps was brought down from their up-country station—Poona, nearly 100 miles from the Presidency --and embarked for Suez. Great credit is due to the officers of the Bombay' Quartermaster-General's department for the quickness with which the embarkation was managed, and still more to Admiral - Sir Henry Leeke for the admirable arrangements he made for the Hussars and their horses on board ship. With out any delay, the corps was started for its desti -ration, and in due time arrived at . Suez—acco mplishing a sea voyage of nearly 1,500 miles, with the loss of but four ho rses out of six hundred.' In Egypt every arrangement bad been made for the transit of this great number of horses through the desert, and the regiment arrived at Cairo with out an accident of any kind, somewhere about the middle of February. Here they met an order from England directing them not to come on to Alexandria until transports should be ready a t that port t o bring them on to the Crimea. The consequence is, that the regiment, after being hur ried away from India to Suez, have now been up wards of a month at Cairo —one of the most un healthy. towns in the world;: air this season for 'Europeans —doing nothinc , whatever. The latest advices from Brila,klava, dated the 21st March, in timate that the Jason had juat been despatched to Alexandria for the purplso of bringing over tho 10th Hussars. But judging from the number of men and horses taken out last year in the Hima laya—a vessel more than one-third larger than the Jason—this latter steamer will not be able to bring mare than 200 out of the 600 men belonging to the 10th Hussars now at Cairo ; so that 400 of that corps, and 600 of the 12th Lancers, who by this time have arrived at Suez, will be left for some weeks longer in Egypt, because DO transports have been provided for them at Alexandria. And this, be it remarked, whilst It;laklava is full of ships and steamers of all sizes. Is the Home Go vernment or is Field-Marshal Lord Raglan to blame in this matter ? From strong presumptive evidence we should say the latter. The former gave his lordship permission to send to India for these troops, and, no doubt, left him to make his own arrangements for their transmission to the Crimea. The English authorities knew that Lord Raglan had at his disposal many more trans ports than were needed to bring twice the num ber of Dragoons now in Egypt to Balaklava, but either his lordship or his lordship's Quartermas ter-General—most likely both—seem not to be yet fully awake from the sleep they have been indulging in all the winter, and to have ima gined that the Indian authorities would be as di latory in sending the regiments from Bombay, as Lord Raglan and his Staff have been in everything connected with the campaign since the army ar rived before Sebastopol. If General Canrobert or his staff had been guilty of so flagrant a want of arrangement regarding the embarking of French troops, the delinquents would very soon find them selves at perfect liberty to walk about the Boule vards of Paris, and with very little chance of ever holding another command. But not so in Eng land. The very fact of being brother to a late and uncle to a present duke makes amends for a vast quantity of sin in this country. In military matters we don't apparently, as yet, accept the axiom that he who fails in an undertaking should be obliged to make way for a better man. The Czar of Russia fully understands this rule, and acts upon it ; but in England an officer, with a handle to his name and family interest to back him up, m tm a h y feer succeed or not.

THE REV. MR. DOYLE AND CARDINAL WISE AN. (F ro m, the Times of (las day. ) It will have been seen from our assize reports of yesterday that a verdict has been obtained against Cardinal Wiseman by a priest of his own persua sion in an action for libel. As the authorship of the libel was not denied, nor any justification pleaded, the jury had simp l y to consider the amount required,oft and these th e y se t at 1,0001. e subject we s h a ll not enter rodu ce d so many incidental ; but o Into f damages the this tr parta p illustrations of the discipline and usages of the Romish church that it would be unwise to pass it without notice. It is not every day - that such an insight is obtained into the doings of this commu nity, and we therefore recapitulate the leading par ticulars of the case for the benefit of our readers. The Rev. Mr. Boyle, the plaintiff in the action, is au Englishman, and was educated for the Romish church, partly in this country and partly abroad. In 1825 he joined the order of Jesuits, and in 1833 was ordained priest. In 1846 the " Pro vincial Master " of the Jesuits in England invited him to take " the' last solemn vow '—a proceeding by which, it seems, he -would have placed himself "at the disposal of the Pope foi foreign missions ; or, in other words, have become liable to be sent to any part of the world at the Pope's discretion. If he had refused to take this vow when formally called upon he would have been subjected to dismissal from the society, and this dismissal would have entailed loss of credit. However, he succeeded in escaping the difficulty, for upon his representing to the Provincial that, although he would take the vow if commanded, lie had objections to doing so, he was released from the obligation, and permitted to quit the society on satisfactory terms. Shortly after this ho was ap pointed " second priest" at Islington. Here he found a large church, capable of holding 3,000 or 4,000 p ersons (th oug h th e w h ole number of Papi_sls in the parish, acc or ding t o hi s own estimate,.* but 1,000 or 1,506), an d an aged -vicar, who lived lodgingsdgings because he would not incur the r übr Isibility of keeping up the vicarage -house. This seems to have been in 1847, at which time Dr. Griffiths was R om i s h Bishop of the " diocess," ac cording to the arrangements prevailing in the com munity.: Six or eight months afterwards Dr. Griffiths was succeeded in this office by Dr. Wiseman, and things appear to have gone on in their usual course till 1850—the year, as will be well remembered, in which Dr. Wiseman threw tho whole kingdom into agitation by his assumption. of new titles and powers. In that year Mr. Boyle received a letter from his superior to the effect that he was to be superseded in his situation, though it does not seem that the proceeding was grounded on any direct complaint or any charge of misconduct. Dr. 'Wiseman appears simply to have alleged that, after full consideration, ho had resolved upon making a " total change of men and system" at Islington, and had accordingly ap pointed " two fresh priests," one of whom proved to be the Rev. Mr. Oakley, a seceder, as will be recollected, from the Church of England, and a gentleman of considerable property. Whether the Cardinal thought that a church with 3,000 or 4,000 sittings ought to be supplied with more than half as many attendants—whether he thought that a wealthy minister was better for the place than a poor one, or by what motives in particular he was influenced, is more than can be said ; but, at any rate ; he decided that Mr. Boyle must be dismissed, though he offered him "an im pyriant mission at Chichester,"—a proceeding which of itself would seem shoiv that no impu tation attached to his character. Mr. Boyle, however, was by no means willing to leave Isling ton.' His salary there, as curate, was " ss. a day," and this was raised by certain dues to 1501. or 1601. a-year. He seems, moreover, to have laid out 3001. or 4001. on - the curate's resi dence, in furniture and repairs, having intended, as he deposed, to increase his income by " edu- I eating young ge n tl emen f or th e U n i vers i t i es, " —a design in which Cardinal Wiseman promised to assist him. According to his statement, he had expended his money on a distinct understanding with Dr. Griffiths as to the permanency of his position, but he had no written document. in proof of such arrangement. "In our church," said he, upon his cross-examination, "an inferior would not dare to ask for such a document from a superior. We are so much in their power and control that no priest would dare to say to his superior, Put this in black and white ; he would not do it, but would most probably say, This is not the man for me: " Neither did it appear on the trial that he was' unacceptable to his congregration, for one of its members deposed that when his removal was talked of a memorial in his faveur was signed in a very short time by 1,100 of his parishioners, —i.e., something like four-fifths of the whole. However, . though he appears to have questioned Dr. Wiseman's power to remove him, he was nevertheless removed ; he took his furniture with him, and, in liquidation of the other demand which he made on the score of his disbursements, he re ceived only 601., of which '3Ol. was due for arrears of salary, and 201. absorbed by the costs of re covering the debt. For this purpose he employed a solicitor, contrary to whose advice he reduced his original claim, in consequence, as he testified, of the Cardinal's " pleading poverty." It seems hard to discover in these transactions any great offence committed by Mr. Boyle, unless it be that of demurring to the will of his superior, in what ever way signified ; but we learn, notwithstanding, that some time afterwards thedismissedcurate wrote two "letters of . apology" to the Cardinal, waited upon him at his " palace" in Golden-square, and there, in the "reception-room" of that establish ment, " went on his knees and asked him for par don and forgiveness." As long afterwards as May, 1854, occurred the circumstances out of which the trial in question arose. A Romish priest deposed in evidence that there were two parties in his church—" a loyal party and a party which was not," which remark able definition he presently corrected to "an ultra and a moderate party." One of these sections dis approved the Cardinal's conduct in the proceedings of 1850 ; the other defended it, and the disputants appear to have advocated their respective opinions in two foreign journals—the Ami de la Religion, and the Univers, the latter of which was alleged on the trial to be " under the inspiration" of the Cardinal himself. A certain article adverse to the views of the ultra party having appeared in the Arni de la _Religion, the Carditia! seems at once to have attributed it in his own mind to the pen of Mr. Boyle, and in return himsell indited an article in the Univers, signed with his own name, which contained the matter charged as libellous. In this statement Mr. Boyle's connection with the order of the Jesuits, his subse quent career at Islington, and his proceeding s i n the matter of his removal were all so described that, although the plaintiff was not mentioned by name, there was no doubt as to the bearing of the allusions, and on these grounds the action for libel was brought and decided in the manner we have already related. The case first came on for trial last summer, but, the plaintiff having been nonsuited on that occasion, an application fora new trial was made and granted. Such is a compendious exposition of the facts in volved in the case of "Boyle v.

Whatever may be the position of this community in other respects, it is at least plain that its interests are not likely to suffer from any want of power in its authorities, or any lack of rigour in its administration. These points, perhaps, are chiefly importa n t t o P ap i sts them selves, but Englishmen may do well to observe and reflect upon the or g anisation of a c h urc h f rom the advances o f w hi c h the interests of civil and religious liberty have at all times had so much to fear. THE ENGLISH MIDDLE CLASS. (From the Daily News of this day.) The " middle class "—the phrase is exclusively English, and the thing is exclusively English. The bourgeoisie of the French, the Burgerstand of the Germans, and the synonyms of all the other conti nental languages, have a much m ore li m i ted mean ing. The English "middle class " does not express burghers or townsmen as opposed to nobles and pea seants, or merchants and master-mechanics as op posed to nobles on the one hand, and a proletariat on the other. The " middle class " embraces all who do not enjoy the privileges of the peerage, and all who are not dependent on their precarious daily ' labour for their precarious daily bread. As early as the days of Chaucer the "middle class" was fully developed in England. The Pilgrims so gra phically described by Chaucer, belong, all of them, to the middle class. The Franklin, or, as he would be called in our days, the jolly, wealthy Squire ; , the Knight, alike trusted in the council and the field ; the Monk, the accomplished, wealthy cler gyman ; the Serjeant-at-law, with his legal lore ; not one of them is noble any more than substantial Burgesses, the Reeve, the Friar, or the Miller. Superior culture and superior talent alone place any ono of them above the rest. The poor Parson and the poor Clerk of Oxford are the equals of the Knight, Monk, and Franklin ; the Shipman, the Miller, and the Reeve acknowledge in them a per sonal superiority, but no superiority of rank. Even in that early day the English lawyers did not aspire to separate themselves from the rest of the "middle class" as a " noblesse de robe," as in France ; the prebendal stalls and abbies were not as in Germany, reserved exclusively for those who could show their sixteen quartering% The untitled but substantial " m id dle class" comprehended land owners, merchants, master mechanics, and the learned professions ; its members felt that they were Englishmen, not mere members of a class or craft. After the wars of the Roses, when the old aristo cracy had almost realised the fable of the Kil kenny cats and eaten each other up, this " middle class" became in fact the English nation. Under the Tudors the remnants of the old Barons were few and almost constantly under proscription. A new nobility was gradually called into existence by Henry VIII. and Elizabeth, but their honours were too new and their numbers too limited to over awe the powerful middle class. The Englishse the no bility never could bring themselves to reco t g a n t i be Stuarts as their superiors ; and indignant jostled by swarms of new-created Irish _ d identified Peers, they fell off from the Court an _ y d wealthy bur gesses.

At the p resent moment the i a teuigent, strcaig, " middle 045134" Of EnglAnd has (Flom the Journal des Debuts.) Of the two isthmuses, Suez and Panama, which have hitherto been the obstacles to a great marl. time circulation, the first will shortly be cut by a canal • the negotiations are a t l eas t ac ti ve l y prose cuted to this end ; the second, at this present time, so to speak, exists no more. On the 28th of Ja nuary, 1855, the population of Panama awoke in agitation : an extraordinary, unaccustomed uproar was heard, and the inhabitants, by nature so calm and indolent, were all at once possessed with an ardent curiosity. It was the hissing of the first locomotive, and the hoar se grow li ng o f the first train, which, at full steam, had come for the first time hardily to cross the distance which separates the two oceans. Thanks to this double line of iron which American industry has managed to extend from the vicinity of Chagres, on the great ocean to the shores of the Pacific, the isthmus was at length cut ; the genius of iron railways entered into possession and operated the approximation of two worlds. The Panama railway, which crosses the Cordillera by a double inclined plane, whose cul minating point is two hundred and fifty feet above the level of the sea, measures about eighty kilo metres, and will have cost more than thirty-five millions and five years of labour—and what labour ! Nothing but the perseverance and the dauntless tenacity of Americans could surmount the unheard of difficulties whi c h b ese t suc h an enterprise. Not! that the numerous andconsideralle inequalities of the ground have been precisely overcome. On the contrary, they have been complacently enough, submitted to in the generality of cases, and the de clivities in consequence are often of an exceptional: rapidity, which, it may be said in passing, does not count safety as the first virtue of the railway (tho Americans, as is known, do not look so closely as that). But it has been necessary to reconnect between themselves, by causeways of 12 to 1G metres on many points, the intervals which inter vene between the thousand mountains with which the soil of the isthmus is encumbered, and that tinder a sun to produce tetanus, under torrential rains, and acrossshifting grounds and marshy plains the deleterious vapours of which devoured brigades of workmen every week. For the rest, the railway when scarcely commenced had already changed considerably the face of things ; the bay of Limon, for example, at the base of one of the inclined planes, has its pestiferous marches replaced by 'a pleasant city, all of wood, it is true, which already possesses nearly 3,000 residents, and bears the name of the enterpi ising constructor of the railway, Aspinwall city. To subserve the movements of commerce, a railway is doubtless far from being so valuable as a way of communication as a canal, like that projected from Alexandria to Suez, which cannot fail to carry away from the Cape a large portion of its old maritime clientcy of India ; for the matter of importance for shipping is still less the shortness of voyages than the possibility of not breaking bulk, and not to lose time and money in transshipments; but by Panama a canal would have encountered difficulties, which, it is said, there was no certainty of being able to surmount, and, more still, capitalists ordinarily so audacious with Ame ricans, have, on this occasion, recoiled before an expenditure estimated at not less than 150 millions. Perhaps, in respect of the great maritime commerce, this is to be regretted, perhaps a prejudice. How ever that he, hre at length one grave obstacle to the relations of humanity has been overcome ; it is possible now to make commodiously a passage which, though not more than from 18 to 20 leagues, did not the less require from two to three days of the most fatiguing traverse, whether in pirogas or on the back of a mule across the abysses of which Spanish listlessness could accustom itself so well. Panama, at length, the route of the Eldo rado, the way of transit for the two worlds, opens henceforth a direct and relatively short passage for the flood of travellers and emigrants, and to the mass of valuable merchandise which, from New York and the ports of Europe, are sent to be dis persed in Peru, Bolivia, Chili, and California, with which Panama is in correspondence by regular steam vessels, and even in various archipelagos with which the Pacific Ocean is strewed, to the Phillipines and China. In this point of view, we conceive that a great future lies before the Panama railway. The port of this city on the Pacific is already in possession of a certain commercial im portance. In 1852, for example, it received 312 vessels, sailing and steaming as well, measuring 144,000 tons, and carrying 303 million tons of merchandise. With respect to the transit over the isthmus, it amounted for the precious metals to 281 millions of francs, and for pas sengers to 23,690. Perhaps it is not rash to predict that in a few more years the railway will have increased this movement of men and goods tenfold ; on one condition, however, and that is, that the company which has the concession shall lower its tariffs, which, according to the de tails recently published by the Journal du Havre, appear to us exorbitant. 25 dollars (125 f.) for the passage of the isthmus, that is, for a course of 80 kilometres, is, it must be agreed, of an exceptio t nal , dearness, and, a more serious consideration, the transport of merchandise is still more costly ; a:- cording to the classification it is 1, English pound—that is to say, 11 23 and 33 or M 34 centimes per kilogramme, so that a e t r i c al ton tissues, of objects of value, such as wines, cigars, must pay the railway 330 francs. So to burden 2, 3 cents per merchandise assuredlyis current. not the way to draw A great commercial April 4.-- afternoon The il il l'e l‘ r j a A n i s rj u s i . a — r heavy Tagus, Captain . rancan I Oriental on)? c any's t , to , • -arn- n , p Joy, took her depaiture th,s M 'ta and Alexandria, • - I S_ ?.onu,KTII:OI.PTON, W_EDNESDAY, for Gibraltar, a• , la, with ti, portion of the East India, China, and medit u.: . •1., The Tagus takes out 61 , - er -1 as engeri, among whom are I Commander Furteseue for B O f il m ,.

Such an invitation coming from a baronet and a bachelor was sure to be promptly responded -to by the ladies, and accordingly we were not surprised to find all the reserved seats occupied at an early hour by the fairer portion of creation. The members of the institd tion also mustered in great force, and to all who at tleded, the lecture of the hon. baronet evidently afforded high and sustained gratification. He began by pointing out the connection between the poetry and prosperity of a nation. When the sense of inde pendence was strong, the poetic feeling was high, mid there was nothing that excited people to such: daring deeds as a spirit-stirring ode or war song. From poetry in general, Sir Robert soon came to that of England in particular, starting from Shakspere, cf, whom his admire tion was of course unbounded. The naturalness, creatie power, and pec u li ar b eauty of the language of "fancy's sweetest child," wera pointed out in a few judicious ob servations, and several well-known passages were recited " with due emphasis and discretion." Hamlet's advice to the .players quite brought down the house; and there were several other quotations which were only less at tractive. Milton, who came next, was rapidly sketched, not forgetting the munificent, price paid for " Paradile Lost," well-named one of the six epics written since the creation of the world. The lecturer critically remarked that Milton was, of all the poets, Christian or pagab, the only one oho repietsented God otherwise than as ,a tyrant. It was the blind poet's beautiful peculiarity to paint the deity as a father, and a judge who tempor4d. ju t:ce with ine:cy. A Idi :en's crit.cisms were then. mentioned, as placing Milton on his proper pedesCal, and then he took leave of epic, and hurried to the poetic satirists; Under this head Dryden's well known sketch of Buckingham was given with wonderful fire, and was loudly and deservedly applauded. Pope and Jobi son wera •ften glanced with appropriate quotations f nal each, and the audience next found themselves fof aTye l i ßria l: 7 t l e s r sa e ioan s f t d e l interested with name t t ii t u oi p t i: ap h ao c di , n it c ch e ae : i n t nb i e e tlib lecturer r h° ru g' episode on the war and its causes. There were some lit tie disapprobation evinced at this portion of the proceedings, but whether it was that the dissentients thought polities out of place, or thlit there is a concealed Russian party in Marylebone, we were not able to asceitain. Sir Robert pointed out that this was the first time an English army had invaded the Russian territory, although it was 302 years since our ships first visited the country for the pur poses of trade. Now we invaded Russia to put an end to the imposture of fifty years, and to teach that power that she was about to receive at the hands of civilisation the retribution her crimes deserved. A. well-mented eulogium on the late Lord Dudley Stuart closed this part of the lecture, and a few not very novel but exceed ingly well-delivered recitations introduced the topic of shipwrecks generally ; and, apropos of shipwrecks, tha lecturer, amid the most profound attention on the part of the audience, detailed his own escape from that dire calamity in the spring of last year. They left Genoa, he said, on the 24th April, 1854, a happy party, of whom the only survivors were himself and a gentleman who was at that moment one of his auditory. They started at mid-day, with full crew, and full passengers, 90 in all, and, singular to say, there was a presentiment of coming dan ger in the minds of every one on board. At about seven in the evening they could just see the land, and then the clouds gathered. Shortly after they broke, and the pale moon cast her silver light on everything. The wind whistled sullenly through the tackle, but what did they care, the word was passed, "All's well," and they were sure to reach Marseilles on the morrow. But hark hush ! what sound was that ? The wind had been gradually lulling, when the man - at the wheel was heard to shout frantically—" Ease her " " Stop her " " Back her "—then a horrible crash—they had come into collision with another vessel. He (Sir Robert) was on deck in his carriage, an'l by a miracle escaped the first crush ; then he saw numbers of his fellow-passen gers engulphed, and knew that several more were en tombed alive in the cabin, by the accidental closing RP, of the companion p assage .
