be prosecuted with that peculiar kind ot seal which
distiegaishes the pretioal pickets of the great county

Impaired with them views, we regard the pro-
ceedings of the recent meeting at Manchester with
the greatest witideetien. As we understasd
the resolutions, they are not merely resolo-
tires to affirm again what has been &finned
already—and what, in truth, nobody eta be found to
call in question. The meeting was not assembled to
inform makind that railway, are desirable in India.
Mankind have received and digested that pies, of .in-
telligence long ago. But it was a meeting convened
with the object of obtaining specific engagements to
support by money and influence the railway commay
which promises to commence its operations on the
thirty-Ave 'miles between Bombay and Canyon. If
the [centimes wives same we observe in emuiceins
with this meeting, will persevere in their
for six months, we assure the.., ia
CP:nest sonfldeses, that they will emceed,
and it is equally casein if they do not permutes that
the introduction of railways into India will esealsse
to be a subject upon which the authorities memested
with that cesatry will be profuse in thesedisel seed-
mentality aed acquiescence—upon whisk everybody
will egree—ead with Masses to which usher will
determine, sad some inferior impose will adds
whatever additional measures may be takes. What-
ever influence therefore we poems shall be heartily

great question by the only feasible path Wire it—
the path we repeat of direct pecuniary sasistance and
direct personal interference.
espTobteleciartioular scheme of railway comesnicatice
at the Manchester meeting was that remnant
of the projeet known as the " Great India& Peninsu-
lar Railway Company, " originally introduced to the
public under the &wpm. of Lord Wtismrsarrs, and
which in the fillet instance contemplated a gigantic
system of railways saws the Doran, and directed as
well to the oonnexios et the intern and western m-
idwife as to the development of the internee re-
sources of the valleys of the Herbed& and the Coda-'
vet 7. Taken even upon its widest and most am-
bitious basis there is nothing in the detailed surveys
which have taken place with reference to this
scheme to cast any reasonable doabt upon its
perfectly We and legitimate character as a
mercantile speculation : if receiving its memo-
able share of government support. Nor can it
be doubted that, with a hearty, able, and prompt
co-operation on the part of the home authorities when
the oompany was formed in the early part of 1846,
the people of this country would have provuled oath-
shot means to undertake, if not the whole, at least
' rem considerable portion of the entire plan. Bat

shelter will be torn from him, sees himself about to

even in Englishmen the catastrophe which has sug-

can awaken those fancies and prima which
Rake men struggle for the possession of land
with all or more than the inveteracy of blind and
bloody rep
.which the sexual impulse and its atten-
dant jealousies can inspire. Were the axial circum-
stances of England the same as those of Ireland, we
should see the same agrarian atrocities as frequently
staining the domestic annals of the former as unfor-
tunately they do those of the latter country.
In England. thanks to the wars of the; roses,
daring which the barons ate up each other,
leaving room for a re-distribution of landed pro-

et Ilertimed, we have a race as purely, or even more
gm*, Saxon than in England. And we need only
mit our eyes beak to the time of the revo-
Intica of 1688, and the times which imme-
diately followed it, to find agrarian outrages
mew them as atrocious and callous as any that are
Midi of the most lawless districts in Ireland. Scot-
land was then what Ireland is now a poor and exclu-
sively agricultural country. And 'the registers of its
Court of Justiciary contain many a dark tale of
struggles for land estates pursued in the courts of law
with pertinacious inveteracy till one or both parties
were beggared, and then out of doors by mutual mur-
derous assaults. And were the contents of the
charter chests of old families in Scotland
exposed to public gam (we speak . from no
cogjectural surmise, bat frau examination of
not a few of them), they would be found to
contain memorials of many such atrocities which
never fell under the cognisaaos of the sages
.of
the law. Yet since commerce and manufacturing in-
dustry diffused wealth WM generally through Boa-
land, and loosened the Motivative attaclunent with
which its natives onoa slang to property in land,
agrarian outrage has there become as rare ea it is in
England. And eo will it be in Ireland. as soon es a

PRUSSIA.—Iire following is a translation in ex-
tom of the proclamation of the Constituent Assembly,
the purport of which appeared in yesterdWe Express:
Istiow-Ctrasies,—when, by the March revolution, the
long enslaved p•pular will acquired intlueaee, you sent
hither the Prase= National Assembly with the minion to
lay the foundation, legally and orderly, of the new edifice of
the couseitusioa. Nothing woad bs done for you by an
empty scheme of a constitution one wherein the old arbi-
trary system, the old tools of :wino:retie, bureaucratic, end
military predominancy (that which arrested every pulsation
of opular lin) should be suffered to remain in tull activity.
Yost demanded a new basis, not only for the political myth,
properly speaking, but. for communal, administrative, judi-
cial, and military affairs. It was in that ewe
the National Assembly understood its task, and
earnestly and perseveringly devoted itself to he ful-
filment, although it was obstructed rather than
