On the other hand, who that has ever eneesm-
plated with attention the saddening conflict of
humanity can forbear to acknowledge theft -.the
largest and deepest, the truest and divinest sense,
all crime deserves pity, while it demands punish-
ment t The philosophy of justice recognises this
truth more and more as civilization advances, as
the world becomes narrower, and life more diffi-
cult. Is not all crime, in some sort, disease, for
which man's justice provides a clumsy sort of
surgery, but of which a higher Power alone knows
the cause, and reserves the remedy ?

On the Ist of October, Mr. James Davis, a mem-
ber of the Evangelical Alliance, going from Naples to
Rome by rail, had his luggage examined at the frontier
station of Ceprano, where a Diodati New Testament, which
he bad purchased at Naples for his own use, was taken
from him, with a promise that it would be restored to him
at the police-of ee at Rome on his arrival. Having applied
there twice in vain before leavieg Rome, Mr. Davis ad-
dressed a very strongly-worded note to Cardinal Antonelli,
from Milan, dated October 8, in which he complained of
having been deprived of his property, demanding its restor-
ation, and animadverted on the sacrilegious conduct of the
officials in venturing to lay their sequestrating hands on the
Word of God. His eminence took no notice until, aroused
by a wood note from Mr. Davis, in English, dated London,
October 23, be sent both the notes and the Diodati to the

An epidemic has been raging for some time past
at Woolwich. The most distressing eases have been among
families connected with the government departments of the
Royal Arsenal and Dockyards. Mr. Parkyn, deputy super-
intendent of military dons, has lost four of his five
children. Mr. Stone, a civil officer in the dockyard, has
lost the whole of his children, three in number. The cause
is 'opposed to be malaria, occasioned by the northern out-
loll of the sewage at Barking-creek. At two-thirds flow
the surface of the tide is covered with a dark pestiferous
matter, proved to be a remnant of the outfall, cast back
before the ebb is sufficiently swept away. After each re-
ceding tide, and when the flood begins to make its appear-
ance, the atmosphere along the river becomes insupport-
able.

"A singular fact,' says the Pays, "one cer-
tainly very rare in the history of governments, is at the pre-
sent moment taking place in • corner of Germany. The
inertness of the Elector of HMO has become so great that
not even the ministers themselves can obtain from him any
decision. There is no ditliculty in understanding how much
paLlw and private interests must suffer from such • state of
things. The chamber has consequently just voted an ad-
dress to the sovereign, earnestly requesting him to take the
necessary steps for the settlement of the adiurs which are
in abeyance."

EARL RC,SELL'S ADDRES.'S AT A BERDERN. —Tbo
D."rds of yesterday say. :—" The English papers bring on
the teat of the speech which Earl Russell has just
delivered on his inauguration ss lord rector of the University
of Aberdeen. The noble lord profited by this occa-
sion to give a fresh and hearty proof of his sympathy
with the Italian cause. Rs evoke in the noblest lan.
guano of regenerated Italy—of its future—of its new
destinies—of the rank it is called upon to take as a consti-
tutional monarchy among European powers. Whatever may
be said to the contrary, the Italian patriots ought not to dis-
dain this unanimous tribute of sympathy and encouragement
which England and its statesmen send her, though that
tribute may not go beyond speeches and words. It seems
to us that words are a recognised ►nd accredited power in
the present day ; and if their influence and weight must be
admitted in the Wolorinunt of great political questions, it is
above all when they place themselves at the service of •
amuse which, according to the solemn decrees of diplomacy,
is cotm.elled to pursue its work ■od to seek its triumph io
the employment of moral means only—in the sppeal to the
• forces of civiliaation sod progress' alone."
