The total destruction by fire of the Liverpool - Sailors' Home, early yesterday morning, accompa nied by loss of life (the extent of which not yet fully ascertained), will long mark the 29th of April, 1860, as a black day in the calendar. It would be premature to enter into the discussion of various most important questions raised by the occurrence .of this dire event. It will be time enough when the whole factS of the case have been duly investigated. In another column we give a full account of the catastrophe, in so far as the particulars have yet reached us. We need here only .refer to the ample report e Bite to-day of the great volunter demonstra tion at Birkenhead, on Saturday. Its perusal will satisfy every one that the great volunteer move ment has taken as deep root and sprung up into as firm and fair a form in Lancashire and Cheshire as in any other district of the coun try. The permanency of the volunteer move ment is the most anxious wish of every true patriot; and we cannot doubt*but that such an occasion as that we chronicle to-day is eminently calculated to promote and to confirm this great national organisation for the defence of our shores against all comers. With so many instances - of frOid, upon the 'most gigantic scale s . both at home and abroad, ontLis almost inclined to make light of such com paratively trivial cases as those *high occupied the attention of . our Police-court on Saturday, and which we report elsewhere. The adultera tion of food,. moreover, is a genera.? fact so well known amongst us that an occasional conviction "under the act no longer startles us. The article of pepper, in particular, is not one likely to raise much interest. in the public mind. Sooner or later, however, the community must be aroused to a sense of the duty it owes to itself; for this process of wholesale adulteration of articles of general consumption is a wide spread and deeply-seated disorder, which strikes out many destructive roots and brings forth many bitter fruits, the effects of which we too often deplore, without reflecting on the producing cause. It is an evil that eats like a canker at the core of our great commercial- community, and aims its poison at the very vitals of society in general. . . These who delight in depicting the depravity of human. nature may at present find illustrations enough, and on the largest seals. In free and constitutional England, the newly discovered bank frauds nave too vividly revived the 'memory of past events which have thrown their shadows upon the history of our commerce. In despotic Austria, the very Throne itself has been shaken by the rascality of its highest officers. And now in republican America, we find an indirect charge of fraud, or something very like it, brought against the present occupant of what the Ameri- cans call " the most honourable and responsible office in the world "—the President of the' United States, Mr. Buchanan. An inquiry has been directed as to whether the President has, by money or any other improper means, sought to influence the action of the le islature; whether he has refused to execute the late; 'whether he has not been connected with certainadministra tite ahnses; and how far and to kat - '6tte . iit he has employed money to influence elections. The President attempts to resist all inquiry, but the house insists, and it is more than probable that when the investigation is completed further pro- SIR E. B. LYTTON, in his elaborate:and magnifi cent dissertation on abstract politics last week, took the House of Commons into a region of high philosoithy, where but feW of those he addressed :seemed to feel easy". amid . the associations that 'surrounded them. The only way in which any 'attempt could be merle, however feeble, to damage the effect of his monitions, was to reject altogether the Application of first , principles, and put the maxims of political science at once out of court. In our view, the question whether Reform is to be argued on first principles affords the most eatisfacibry point on Which to. place the contest bet Ween the advocates and - the - Opponents of the present bill. That it removes it from the influ ence of mere party considerations is not the smallest-of its practical - advantages. If there be such a thing-as political science—if there be. a "law .of consistent Tgrowth by which'. states progress, and a law of one-sided develop: raent by ,which : they decay or . are destroyed—if there be an antecedent necessity, backed by history 1 as well as books, and illustrated by experience as :Well' stgly reison—if legislators and statesmen are not Merely blind leading,:or led,by, the blind, by a capricious fate rather 'than directed by a Piciii-idence 'which' works according to rules, then it is evident that the question of _remodelling-theinaohine-of government-is -the one Of all others to which' these la - Ws 'and maxims and :antecedent reasons: are Capable' of being applied. True, their application 'to:any particular • instanCe may be difficult; • it is especially at 'a juncture like the present, *here :it may be often .mistaken and often exaggerated. The maxims of philosophy, whalier.' political or other, are deposited in .books as . well as circulated "on the public stage ;.'they are the property of isolated students as well as of practical politicians.. We do well therefore to ;guard ourselves against that fanciful and theoretical application of them, which a nearer acquaintance with .praCtical - results and conditions would modify and Correct. Yet there is some danger -from : limited knowledge and partial experience'; and .nothing can be truer than that the constitution of a State is not to be given over• to the rule of thumb. The danger is, in fact, infinitely greater . in the one case than the other. For while the student politician may impede, and delay. .reforna—an inconvenience always open to remedy, ,and in course of time sure to be remedied; the mere innovater runs the ,risk of turning reform to revolution, and of taking a step which, once taken, can never be retraced. Now these seem obvious truths, yet the fact is, that almost the sole answer to the philosophical objections which this bill inevitably suggests is, that philosophy runs great risk Of being unprac tical ; that its teachings are •often. fancifully applied, or sophistically misapplied; that any measure may be so artfully associated- with the tendencies that may or may not be developed by it, as to bring it under the lash of theoretical objections. That old systenis . may be always reduced or expanded to an ideal of wisdom, or right, or safety, so that any change proposed shall be made to conflict with it in such a manner as to seem unwise, unlawful or unsafe ; and all winds up with the sweeping and decisive assertion that philosophers are nine times out of ten nothing but obstructives, dogging the heels of every reform, or hanging about the chariot wheel' in its.progress.' We are continually told for instance—and it is :the strongest point with our - modern professors of the rule of thumb, the concoctors of the present bill=—that whatever - is said now might have been, and in fact was, said in 1832 , that the warnings against intro dacing into the Constitntion principles alien to the spirit of it, were just as rife then as now; that the prophecies of political disaster were just as solemn and just as sincere, and seemed to the prophesiers just as certain of fulfilment. Well, ths is a plea not to be contemptuously rejected. It is pr*r to be used as'a Warning not to allow ourselves to be imposed upon by modes of general reasoning, without inquiring as to their treal bearing upon the particular question at issue. But there is always a general way of meeting it, ant in this instance a particular way as well. It may always be asked, - even admitting that the rea;oning was once falsely or mistakenly applied, can there never be a case where the application ma; be legitimate and truthful? Nay, is there nota presumption that the reasoning which went wid? of the mark and missed its aim at the first step in the progress, may . 00i1le closer to the point at tie second? That if it went above the head.of the Reform Bill of 1830, it may really strike . at he heart of the bill of 1860 ? If you go on developing the Constitution on one side of it, and -in me idea of it, surely you must some time come to E point whirs , may fitly step in, and pronounce her veto; where prophecy may -lift up ter voice, unfold the ehait of the future, and clairi to be believed ? Reasoners are not always to bEdespised as mere verbal theorists, philosophers as bEbblers, prophets as dreamers, men of a conser vatit turn as enemies to the idea of progress and ceedings may be taken against the President. 0 vorr . 0 mares :P • One of :the • most interesting tonics of the day is, what ever is to be:ddn,s with this troublesome little Reform Bill of Lord John Russell's ?

" Grand-papa Russeli x as he has been terMed from his relatiOnshiii to the '3'2 Reforta Bill, of -which this is said t o b e th e na t ura l off spring, -has repeatedly done • his little best to recommend the little :thing, but he has not noceeded in securing for it a single admirer or nneon.ditional supporter on either side of the House. It has already - . had several hair-breadth escapes from instant death, brought on chiefly by its • own want, of :vital. energy ; and, as it now stands, its future historris a matter of the most perfect uncertainty.': The House of 'Commons and the country — Will feel everlastingly grateful to the man who shall arise and prove his wisdom and courage by satisfactorily - 'disposing„ of this "little billit'--withouf farther waste of,precions time, or more protracted trifling. - The pkofeSsed object of the measure is one which all desire to see accom plished, and would long ere new_have been safely attained under Lord .

A protracted and bloody fight has taken plane in - Naples - between the royal troops and the insur gents, in the coursed which thaly hundreds were slaughtered on both sides ; and. , the town of Carini, where the struggle took place, after hav ing been pillaged, was set'ori fire.
