The issues raised by the proceedinp of the let
of July in Hyde-park are far too mo-
mentous to admit of the risk being tolerated
that the p-bye should be given to them
by a sham inquiry. These issues are :
Firstly. whether the one acting and responsible
Commissioner of Polio, has not exceeded his legal
and eonstitational authority P and whether, nee on

TEI Sierra Nevada, in California, is considered
i.e of the most fearful legless in the world for tra-
yaws. Its deep ravines, its edema gorges, its
glaring rocks, and its risking torrents make it an
outlying district where men will not go if they eau
find gold at as osier rate; and those who do go are
always armed to the teeth, Impeding coolliots at say
bore with roving robbers, quarrelsome neigh-
bours, or outlaws who have shed tee mach blood to
be tolerated in any o►ganised society. In that re-
gion, is well as over the exposed plaits and the half-
barbaric towns of California, a woonn—• delicately
nurtured lady—la making her way alone, bearing &-
tips sad hardship, sad enenntaring danger of
every sort, in the hope of achieving a great
social good. This lady's name is Sys nue
'Arr. She is, we believe, a native d New England.
At any rate, she le best known there. In common
with Enfilades of her eeentrynna end country-
worms, she mourns over the moral blight which
pins, is almost every new settlemeat, the political
prospects of her natio°. Multitudes of Americans
grieve over the spirit and habits which, in California,
m seem home, convert the finest opportunity diet&
bliehing civilisation into a dissemination of barbs:in':
bat this lady is sot satisfied with grieving. Coo-
Ansa, as oar British magistrates are throughout the
lead, that nearly the whole amount of violent crime
premeds from 'stomper's." she bas gorse, dose
mad single-bearted, to try what she can do among the
()sigmas geld-diggers, to wean them from spirit
drinking, sad raise them out of their grass habits and
mange passions. Few of the most robust men in the
solway have undergone such toil II this self-appointed
missiseary; and few of the brand have had
to eseeseter such risks from snidest and va-
lises Yet, at the last accounts, she was
safe and well, and busy, and obtaining great nooses
in her object. She drops into a mining hamlet,
Wks to the men when their work is done, or sills
them together to a familiar lecture; shows them
bow they waste their gains, their health, their re-
spectability, their life, by their indulgence in spirit
drinking; and is so wholly ennead by her object
m to drive from other minds, as completely as from
her own, all adios of seieseestreotion, or et persoael
danger from human bands. Every bet and tent is
open to bar, and the entrance is guarded by loss who
keep sober for her sake. The roughest voices an
tamed, the preheat speech is purified where she
apposes I and tears ran is streams from eyes whisk
ban act wept since the innocent days of &Suss&
Such is her present enceses, guaranteed as she est
her disciples believe, by the spriegiag up d tem-
perance societies wherever she hen been. Them
who, like oweelvee, are onside if the atmosphere if
adhesion' in which she sad her dissiplee live,
must, of course, have doubts about the perm-
settee of her Meade and the durability of her
work, unless better maturities than seers sameiatioes
for maul objects can be instituted. Mainline, there
she is, purifying and redeeming wherever sin gess.
Everywhere she is revered ea a saint, and graveled
as a deter. "In all her wanderings among the men
of the bills," says so eye-witaess, " her ear . Ime
sever bees insulted by a liberties remark, nor pied
by as unkind word."
