A French Miter, we know, some weeks ago,

whilst pouring forth some aracular annunciations

strife- of

ors the greatness,4 ideas, mild the transcendental

championship of his country, was compellei most
lamely and impoUtly to illustrate his national
vanity by a laboured explanation of the smallness
of• recent results in Italy. We, matter-of-fact

and wholly untranacendentaT as they say we are,
perhaps, might be allowed to, look with wonder

and insputienee on.; the progress of the iegue.
flirt we are mistakn ; and going into depths
evidently beyond u This vast revulsion we
were looking for is in the wrirld of idea, that

too»far. empyrean where we cannot penetrate.
Thy_ orbs are singing in their motions and
" quiring to the young#,ey'd cherubim" of French
greatness and glory, Mit we are grossly closed
in with. "this -muddy- vesture of decay," and
cannot' hear- Our impatience is wholly vulgar,

and of the earth. Nor while we gaze per-
plexedly into what seems to us vacancy,
but what, to a French eye, is peopled with bright,
fantastic shapes, need we .of all others, corn

The pity is that Italy, with her bewildered hopes,
should be called on. to take this sublime flight
into the realm of French idea, that she may after-
wards- roll her drooping pinions in the dust.

It is,we who are wrong--irli so reading the Rre-
iliminaries, of Villafranca as. to suppose that they

were meant to lead to anything,—in so waiting

upon the Conferences or Zurich as to expect

imperial arrangements from those yachting and
banquaing diplomatists,—in drawing so fbnd
and foolish a picture of tho imposing meeting at
Biarritz: as to imagine two great personages
parting with some definite-understanding in their
pockets.. Powers, clothed in mortal guise indeed,
but charged with some superior and intangible
impulse from another sphere, plot and devise
secretly,. and act simulalfxd and unaccountable

parts. before men. The- parts being acted out,
an& having accomplishe/ their work, the latent

purse gives no sign, s,md rebukes the clirinsity
of the spectators. We cannot, indeed, feel /vvirtly
unconcerned, for the issue may affect mias well
sassltaly.. But we-muskwait in silence. At pre-
sent-we are clearly out. of our depth.

Ptis, within the obsengation of such of as; as have
reacheal the meridian:, os' life, that in our own day
and, generation much has been done: to: provide
for the physical, and: therefore to athunee and to
improve the moral and social conditiom of different

classes of society., One most important step in
that direction origatated. in the movement set on

foot by the present LORD SHAFTWBURY, in the
erection of Mod'e.3. Lodging Houses for the work-
ing classes, where a comfortable room can
be rented at a moderate cost ; and by
means of sx&ch combination. many appliances,
necessary_ to cleanliness„ order, decency*
and domestic convenience, are provided, which,
for the same amount of money, could not else-
where be commanded. Unless habits of personal
self-respect and care are cultivated, no religious
influence can be brought effectively to bear upon
the moral faculties of a man. If the divine scin-
tillation is embedded in filth and dirt, engender-
ing by such a condition a taste for low and
degrading amusements and recreations, such only
as gratify the pleasures of sense, there can,
indeed, be but little encouragement to morality
and virtue. Something has been laudably
done in this respect for the labouring classes
in this town by the Rev. CECIL WRAY, but only
just so much successfully accomplished, as is
the want, and to disclose

sufficient to show

pawns are lost for want of the -VaT lag of
institution which we suggest the establishment
of in Tfiverpool ! Let us only picture to otraelves
the position of a youth, leaving home for tbs. first
time to enter upon that course of train*
which is to gain him his " Ctaily bread," as

cast all at once into the temptations of g
populous city, eagerly absorbing, ;with the zest
and ardour belonging to his age, the first and
fervid impressions of ineiierience, the attractions
and pleasures of novelty,. unrestrained by tiomestle
and parental authority.. It is like-tossing. a 41P
