GARIBALDIAN DEMONSTRATION IN

HYDE-PARK.

DISGRACEFUL PROCEEDINGS.

It having been publicly intimated that a demon-
stration would take place in Hyde-park yesterday
afternoon, for the purpose of expressing sympathy
with Gen. Garibaldi, and protesting against tho
occupation of Rome, the capital of Italy, by French
troops, contrary to the wishes and desires of the
Italian people, by 3 o'clock, the hour announced at
which the proceedings were to commence, from
12,000 to 15,000 people had assembled in that, the
largest of the people's park, to take part in and to
witness them.

The assemblage was such as would have done
honour to Garibaldi as well as to England, and the
great majority who came there and also mingled in
it, no doubt intended that such should be the result
of it. But like all Sunday demonstrations of a
public and political character which tale place
in Hyde Park, it has ended in disappointment,
not from any backwardness on the part of the
multitude who came to witness it or participate
in the object for which the meeting was convened,
but from a want of forethought on the part of
the originators of the meeting, in not taking the
requisite and proper steps for having the proceed-
ings conducted in order and regularity.
Up to 3 o'clock there was no appearance of any one
on the ground who had anything to do with the
getting up of the meeting, and no preparation made
for standing-room for the speakers who were to ad-
dress it. The portion of the park where it was an-
ticipated the proceedings would take place was that
in front of Grosvenor-gate, where the reviews are
held. On that portion, as is the case on Sunday
afternoons, were studded here and there groups of
people around revival preachers, and people en-
gaged in doubtful occupations, and from one to the
other of these did the Garibaldian sympathisers
wander in quest of the meeting they had come there
to attend.

On the portion of the park in question there is a
heap of materials of about 14 by 9 yards at the top,
and rising about 3 feet above the surface, and soon
after 3 o'clock Mr. Bradlaugh and some others hav-
ing taken their stand on the northern end of this
ready-made platform, the crowd at once gathering
round them. On their doing so the last-named
gentleman stated that as there was no appearance
of those who bad convened the meeting, and as he
had been asked to take a part in it, he thought it a
pity that the people should be kept any longer
waiting, and he would therefore address a few words
to them. He accordingly commenced to dilate upon
the treatment to which Garibaldi had been subjected
and the diabolical proceedings of the Emperor of
the French in maintaining his troops in Rome,when
he was assailed by interruptions of all descriptions,
and for a time was compelled to desist. In order to
infuse regularity into the proceedings, a chairman
was then appointed in the person of Mr. Charles
Murray, who endeavoured to address the multitude,
but who in the outset of his speech was hurled
with his friends from the seat of eminence by a
movement which a few Irish roughs had organised
in the rear of them down among the crowd beneath.
By remarkable dexterity, however, the chairman
regained his place upon the mound, but his efforts
to speak were completely drowned in the noise
which prevailed.
The whole of the proceedings now became a con-
tinual fight as to who should occupy the eminence
which the parties who had convened the meeting
had voluntarily chosen for the platform. It was, in
fact, a question whether a few Irish roughs were to
prevail in marring and rendering nugatory the pro-
ceedings of the meeting. During one of the lulls in
the fighting portion of the affair, Mr. Bradlaugh
proposed a resolution to the effect that the meeting
was of opinion that Garibaldi was faithfully doing
his duty when he fell at Aspromonte, and desired
to express its admiration at the heroic fortitude he
had displayed in his hour of trial. This resolution
was seconded by Mr. Glegg, and supported amid
much uproar by Mr. Mantle, from Manchester,
Mr. Wade, and others, but, so far as we could see,
was never put to the meeting, while it was con-
fidently stated that in the course of the
discussion of it and during one of the encounters for.
the possession of the platform an attempt was made
to stab Mr. Bradlaugh. He was not, at all events,
again seen in the fray, which continued to rage un-
til the chairman and his friends left, when the Irish-
men seemed to have got the mound to themselves,
and then one of their number commenced dealing
out invectives against Garibaldi in no measured
terms.

While, however, the jostling and fighting for the
possession of the mound seemed to be taken by tne
crowd in good humour, this piece of impudence was
too much even for the good nature of John Bull to
bear, and, headed by a sergeant and a private of
the Coldstream Guards, a number of persons rushed
upon the mound and kicked the jubilant occupants
from the top of it like bundles of dirty rags, aim
they had the good sense not to attempt to regain it.
When it was seen that the business for which the
meeting had assembled could not be properly car-
ried out, the immense multitude got formed into
groups around some persons who held forth to them
upon some subject more or less connected with the
circumstances which had called them together,
while these were ever and anon split up and dis-
persed by the moving to and fro of the crowd as
some panic would be created by a mob in this or
that direction, and at last, about half-past 4 o'clock,
the rain began to descend in such torrents as cooled
the zeal of the most ardent and the most mischie-
vous, and was no doubt the meat's, by clearing the
park of its occupants, of saving the guardians of the
public peace a great deal of trouble and annoyance.
In the course of the proceedings three parties
were taken into custody by the police, as being the
most notorious of the roughs iu the melee, and
.lt.h:
number of broken umbrellas,:torn coats, and diL
pidated hats were too numerous to mention.

The works of this great metropolitan improve-
ment may now be said to be complete, the small
amount that remains unfinished being very minor
details and decorations. Col. Yolland, the Govern-
ment inspector of the railway department of the
Board of Trade, finished his inspection of the line
on Friday, and the company now only await the
result of his certificate to open the railway to the
public. The terminal station in Farringdou-street
is a very commodious one, and by the middle of the
week the painting and paper-hanging will be
finished. The platform, reached by a flight of
about a dozen steps, is covered with a light iron
and glass roofing. The railway at this point is
in an open cutting of nearly 100 feet in width. The
Charles-street bridge crosses the railway through
the station. It is a level bridge and possesses seve-
ral very good points. It is 41 feet in width below
the parapets, and has a clear span of 95 feet. Seven
wrought-iron girders rest upon cross girders, which
are supported upon four circular iron columns, The
parapets are formed of iron slabs, with panel
moulding, which slide into their places down grooves
in cast-iron standards secured to the girders. The
bridge will be painted bronze colour, and will have
a very agreeable appearance from the roadway.
The other bridges from the station to the mouth of
the tunnel are completed, and will be open for the
traffic of vehicles next week.Ll,The Charles-street
bridge has been built from designs made by Mr.
Jacomb, a pupil of the late Mr. Brunel, and who
has been appointed by Mr. Fowler, the engineer,
to superintend the whole of the iron work con-
nected with the railway. From the terminus in
New Farringdon-street to the commencement of
the tunnel under Coppice-row the railway will be
open, and not, as is generally termed, an under-
ground one, and for several hundred yards on the
City side of King's-cross the rail will also run in
an open cutting, as well as for some short distance
before entering the Great Western Railway sta-
tion. The branch tunnel leading to the eastern
side of the Midland and Great Northern Railway
at King's-cross has been for some time completed,
but a smaller branch is now being made which will
enable the trains from the midland counties and
the north to run right through to London with-
out reversing at the junction. For the continua-
tion of this short cut the contractors have again
to overcome their old enemy, the Fleet-
ditch, which will be carried across the crown of
the tunnel in an iron aqueduct. At the King's-
cross and other stations spring switches have been
laid similar to those laid by Air. Brunel on the
main line of the Great Western Railway. These
will admit of the trains running through without
requiring pointsmen at these parts. The construc-
tion of the telegraph, which is to connect the vari-
ous stations, and by which the signal-men are to
communicate from station to station, is just finished,
and the signals have been partially tested. The
rails of the permanent way are steeled by Dodd's
process, and the joints are fished and bolted with
Low Moor iron. In securing the rails the expan-
sion of the metal has been duly provided for by
driving the bolts through the rails with the points
only at red heat, the other portion being cold iron'
The engine pit at the station is provided with a
tank, into which the water of the condensed steam
will be caught, and conveyed away to a reservoir to
be again used in the engines, thus economising the
water and saving a proportionate outlay for its sup-
ply, the water rate charged by the New River Com-
pany forming a considerable item in the working
expenses. The line is to be worked entirely by the
Great Western Railway Company, to whose line it
will undoubtedly prove a most valuable feeder. The
engines are constructed upon the plan of Mr. Fow-
ler, and consume not only their smoke but also their
steam, so that no inconvenience will be felt by pas-
sengers in travelling along the railway. These are
now ready for action. Two of them have been at
work for some days past upon the railway, making
themselves generally useful in drawing laden trucks,
and bringing up materials for various parts of the
line. The carriages are also finished. These are of
very large dimensions, and run upon 8 wheels. They
will be lighted with gas. On the top of each carriage
is placed a small iron reservoir or gasometer, which
is filled at the station from the gas mains in the
same manner as the tender is supplied with water.
Each gasholder will contain sufficient for several
journeys, and the light in the carriage will be
very agreeably diffused ,and sufficiently bright to
enable passengers to read with ease. Hydrants to
be used in case of fire at the stations have been pro-
vided, and these, where required, are in connexion
with the mains of the New River Company, and the
pressure is sufficient to throw a jet of water 30 feet
in height. The time bill and table of fares will be
ready for publication in a few days.—Observer.

Intelligence has been received in Liverpool by the

A letter from Alexandria, dated Sept. 18, says—
Beyond the mere fact that the Viceroy is still at
Constantinople, we have no intelligence whatever of
his movements. Nor is it accurately known when
he will return to Fgypt. It is said that he speaks
of reniaining until at least the inidelle of next
month; and it is not unlikely that he may do so,
though, on the other hand, no one would feel much
surprised if 110 were to arrive at Alexandria next
week. Ismail Pasha, the Prince 11.Pgent, continues
as:,iduously occupied with the administration of
public affairs, the smooth course of which has been
alone interrupted by certain Bedouin raids on bdth
banks of the river, and these have already been sa-
tisfactorily disposed of. On the western side a ma-
rauding band, said to have come from the oasis of
Siwah, attacked and plundered some of the fellah
settlers on the edge of the desert. They took to flight
on the arrival of a small body of troops that were
immediately sent to the spot, but in their retreat
they attacked a post of irregulars in the Fayoum, of
whom 14 men are said to have been killed in the
affray, In the east a body of Bedouins had ad-
vanced from Syria for the purpose of attacking a
rival tribe, but they also promptly retreated on
hearing that a small body of regular troops had
been despatched against them, accompanied by two
light guns, the desert Arabs, by the way, entertain-
' ing:a most wholesome dreadof anything iu
of artillery. The Government has co-itrived to cap-
ture one of the chiefs, who is at th;. "n nal ent im-
prison( gtt Cairo, and the gar ;i4cn of r rees;:!
the fi outier station be twee n Pt and Syria, has

These matters at any otner time woulu of
forded ample food for discussion, but we are now on
the eve of the new cotton season, and the attention
of the whole country, from the wealthiest land-
holder down to the poorest feilah, seems absorbed
in the contemplation of the dazzling prospects with
which the new campaign is opening. A few occa-
sional lots as yet, it is true, very trifling in quan-
tity, are already appearing in the Alexandria mar-
ket, and, although more than doubtingly accepted
as new cotton, they are realising enormous prices.
Ismail Pasha and Mustafa Pasha, the two largest
producers in the country, have commenced cau-
tiously selling comparatively small lots for forward
delivery, and their prices have rapidly risen to 50
dole. the cantar. Cotton is, in short, at this moment
fully three, perhaps nearly fourfold, what at any
other time would have been considered its natura.
value. An immense amount of wealth seems, there-
fore, destined to pour into the country within the
six months. According to moderate computations,
the incoming crop will amount to considerably more
than 1,000,000 of cantars, and unless an abrupt
and seemingly unlikely change takes place in Ame-
rican affairs, little if at all less than £8,000,000
sterling will be required to pay for it.
It is gratifying to be able to add that in the midst
of these brilliant prospects, it does not seem likely
to be overlooked that the same causes that are ope-
rating so much to the advantage of the Egyptian
planters are inflicting great and undeserved dis-
tress in the manufacturing business, whence these
vast amounts are to be derived. Halim
Pasha, I am informed, has already sent a sum of
£2OO to aid in the relief of the English operatives,
end that without waiting absolutely to secure any
portion of the benefits of which the prospects arc be-
fore him. This example will, without doubt, be
followed by others, and the act, honourable as it is
to the Prince's good feelings as well as to his intel-
ligence, will, I feel assured, not pass without due
appreciation from all conditions of Englishmen.
The arrival at Alexandria of Mr. Fonblanque,
lately appointed legal Vice-Consul for Egypt, and
the pending reorganisation of the Consular tribunals
have again been postponed for a while. It would
appear, also, that we are now seriously threatened
with the concession of a right, or rather of an obli-
gation to "trial by jury." It may illustrate the
almost complete absence of intercourse among the
British communities settled in the Levant that up
to the present we know nothing of the matter ex-
cepting by rumour. But it is reported, among
other things, that in the memorial transmitted
from Constantinople her Majesty's subjects in
Egypt are represented as joining in the petition.
The report has occasioned a good deal of amusement
among some persons, and no small anger among
others. A counter-petition is already spoken of,
and nothing but some more authoritative informa-
tion on the subject seems to be required in order
that it be carried into effect. Without, in fact,
wishing to judge for our countrymen at Constan-
tinople and Smyrna, it is here universally felt that
a system of juries would be anything but adapted to
the circumstances in which we are placed at Alex-
andria. The practice that has been in use up to the
present time, according to which the business of the
consular courts is conducted by the Consul as judge,
assisted by two assessors, has invariably given per..
feet satisfaction, whether to the English, Maltese,
or. lonians. The two last-mentioned elements of
the community are not composed of classes in gene-
ral capable of appreciating either the duties or the
privileges that belong to the system of juries. Of
this, were it necessary, many proofs could be eited,
sufficient to show that the ends of justice are
likely to derive but poor service from any such
change in the old practice. Among the English
inhabitants there are certainly not above 40 persons
whose age and sex or the nature of whose oc-
cupation could render themselves available, and by
them the oft-recurring obligation to serve would be
simply looked upon as an intolerable tax, uncom-
the slightest substantial advantage to
pensated by
the general community. Let me add that
justice is very cheap in the consular tribunals, and
shat the European population, English as well as
foreign, has a decided penchant for litigation.
The forthcoming visit of Prince Napoleon to
Egypt has it is said, been officially announced to
the Government, and although contradictory
rumours are at this moment afloat, extensive pre-
parations have
r rince with spec been arrargod for receiving the
special honours.

z,sIRAORDINARY SURGICAL
OPERATION.

Asurgical n extraordinary operation of awn
charac-
terwas
performed on Sunday week, at Southamp-
toopne; nba
operation o n
p riNV iblin, a surgeon of that town. The
question consisted in the removal of an
enormous tumour, which had been growing from
the lower part of the body of a poor man for seven-
teen years. This mass, when suspended before the
operation, weighed upwards of 501b5., and, as may
be imagined, the patient was rendered a most piti-
able object. The case had excited great interest,
as the man had been sent up to London some time
since for the purpose of being examined by some of
the most eminent surgeons in the metropolis ; and
Dr. Wiblie. finding that the majority of these gen-
tlemen decided with hint that an operation was
i feasible, determined to remove the tumour. A large
number of surgeons, both London and provincial,
met at Southampton on Sunday week to witness
and assist in this formidable proceeding, which was
accomplished with great dexterity by Dr. Wibliu,
in about half-an-hour, tbe patient being under the
influence of chloroform the whole time. It is about
thirty years since the late Mr. Astnn Key removed
a similar growth from a poor Chinaman, in Guy's
Hospital. In that case, however, death occurred on
the operating table from loss of blood. Warned by
this case, Dr '\Viblin took extraordinaryprecatuwtoioonrs

The fighting in America is now warm work.
It must, indeed, according to all appearance,
be said for M'CLELLAN, that LEE and STONE-
WALL JACKSON find him a very different man from
POPE and WDONVELL, and apparently different
from himself before Richmond. It is not that he
has more men, or better men, but he has more
authority and a better cause, The Federals evi-
dently regarded the Confederate attack on Mary-
land as indicating a design to appropriate that State,
and thus to deprive them, in the event of separa-
tion, of their historic capital, of a river boundary,
and of the noble bay of Chesapeake. The battle, in
their estimation, became, therefore, one similar to
that which the Confederates fought for Richmond
and Virginia ; and the Federals appear to have re-
trieved their honour when Lighting on what they
regarded as indubitably their aide of the Potomac,
and repelling invasion. England generally
will read of these victories with pleasure.
We do not here want to see the slaveholder
triumphant. We should like to see him compelled
to sue for peace, and to surrender as many States as
possible to Freedom : and, would the North but give
up its anti-negro policy, we should rejoice to see
her carrying liberty to the Gulf of Mexico itself.
As she will not, we are still gratified with victories
which, we trust, mean the retention of Maryland
and other Border States by the Federals when the
great division comes, and the consequent emancipa-
tion of the comparatively few slaves held by them.
We must not, however, be too confident yet. The
latest news we have, which consists of unofficial
accounts of battles from the 15th to the 17th of
September inclusive, leaves still another battle to
be fought, to decide whether the Confederates must
retire to the south of the Potomac, and the
Federals remain sole masters of Maryland. By
previous ships we received M'CLELLAN'S
°tidal account of Sunday the 14th. That, on the
It drove
of a truthful soldier, was a Federal victory,
*" 'trove the Confederates from strong positions at
Hagerstown, and left them retreating, M'CLELLAN
kcew not whither. It now appears that they re-
treettd
%11-west to Sharpsburg, near the river,
and the newspaper reports, which are our only
source of information .
i, since the 14th, describe
as h
overtaken the Confederates
there under LE _n
1)% d again engaged them on Mon-
day, the 15th. From the same source we learn of
a third engagement en Tuesday, the 16th. No
result is mentioned of the battle on the Monday;
but in that of Tuesday .the Federals for once took
their enemy on the fianir
anda under Generals
HOOKER and PORTER punishe
them severely.
It would appear that the
movement of LEE
south-west to Sharpsburg had been made to
obtain the co-operation of STONEvAia.
JACKSON,
who had previously crossed the Potomac,v and who,
while M'CLELLAN was beating LEE,
as himself
engaged in capturing 6,000 Federals in garrison at
Harper's Ferry, just south of the Potomac. By
Wednesday the 17th JACKSON had joined LEE, and
reinforced him by crossing the river. But M'CLEL.
LAN had also been reinforced ; and though the Con.
federates commenced the battle on that day and
fought desperately till four p.m., they had at last to
retreat, leaving General LONGSTREET and part of
his division prisoners in the hands of the Federals.
It is this last and fierce battle which is said to have
been decidedly in favour of the Federals, although
it left another battle necessary to decide who is to
be announced as the final victor. Four days' fight-
ing has all gone against the invaders of Maryland
—will a fifth day's battle expel them from
its soil ? This question will probably be
g wered by next mail. We confess that,
Mum
ins for the citstotuary exaggerations after

all battles, in all parts of the world, we this
time are inclined to believe that the mounts are sub-
stantially correct. They all concur in represent-
ing LEE, first, as retreating from M'CLELLAN to
Hagerstown, farther north-west, from whence he
also threatened Pennsylvania, then as beaten
there, and retreating again in the night south-
west to Sharpsburg, to gain the river, and unite
with JACKSON, and we can hardly think that the
battle of the 17th will not turn out to have been, as
represented, a decided Federal victory over the two
great Confederate generals. At present it hardly
seems likely that the latter will retrieve their posi-
tion on the 18th. The wonder is that so soon after
the recent dreadful battles before Washington, both
armies were again in a condition to fight so savagely.
The numbers taken prisoner on both sides-6,000
at Harper's Ferry by the Confederates, and 15,000,
with six batteries, in the four battles, by the
Federals—as they do not rest on official reports,
are, of course, all open to correction. But as the
Confederates had to evacuate Harper's Ferry, and
it is now in possession of BIRNSIDE, while they
had also been beaten in four days' battles, if we are
to believe Northern accounts at all, the Confederates
have ended their Maryland campaign, and that in a
short time as disastrously as M'CLELLAN did his to
Richmond. We have, alas, the usual, the too pro-
bablf true, and the suggestive addition—" the car-
nage is reported to be very great." The Powers of
Europe can speak we fear with little avail, by way
of remonstrance, neither side is yet convinced that
it must yield and accept terms, and there will, we
fear, be no settlement of the war till this is the
case. The Border States are becoming the more
obvious bone of contention. In proportion
as the necessity of separation becomes
apparent to the North, will its determination
rise not to lose the Border States. They would, if
added to the South, make it the equal of the North,
and in some respects its superior. If added to the
North they would make it far the more powerful
confederacy of the two. Hence even if the neces-
sity of division be admitted, the great Border States
will become the subject of remorseless fighting.
The South would, indeed, be content to refer the
subject to a convention of each State, being pretty
sure that old pro-slavery influences, and detestation
of Yankeeism, would give it all these States. The
North would not hearken to this for a moment. The
Yankees will fight to the last rather than " play
I second fiddle" on the continent from which they
warned off all Europe, and where they meant to
enact the republican NEBUCHADNEZZAR. Perhaps,
like him, they are now enduring the madness
which is to be followed by a return to humbler but
sounder reason.

It is significant to observe, among to-day's tele-
grams from Turin, that there are rumours of Minis-
terial changes as imminent. And it is especially
significant that, among the changes spoken of, the
Italia announces as probable the resignation of—
General DURANDO! Is not this the result obvi-
ously of the publication of that striking diplomatic
circular of his, issued to the world only the other day,
in which, in the name of his Ministerial colleagues,
and even of his royal master King VICTOR EM-
MANUEL, the Italian Minister for Foreign Affairs
took up and echoed as a diplomatist what was only
last month tke war cry of GARIBALDI and his com-
rades in Sicily and in Calabria ? "Rome or
Death"—Rome, or the Death of all our hopes ! was,
as plainly as written words could express any-
thing, the purport of that last note addressed
by General DURAND°, as Minister of Foreign
Affairs, to the Italian KING'S representatives
at all the European Courts to which
Italy has an ambassador accredited! Yet scarcely
is General DIIRANDO'S circular issued—hardly has
it been commented upon—the comments uttered by
the London and Paris press being all but unani-
mously favourable to it—when the significant tele-
gram, referred to, is flashed through the submarine
cable, intimating to us that General DURAND°, of all
men, is about to withdraw from the Turin Cabinet.
The incident we maintained has about it a very
peculiar significance. In familiar phrase it may be
said to speak volumes—that notable line of the
telegram! And it is all the more worthy of obser-
vation, this statement of the Italics as to the pro-
bable withdrawal of DURAND° from the Italian
Ministry—seeing that it is added immediately after-
wards that Signor RATTAZZI would, in that case,
take the portfolio of Foreign Affairs ; retaining, of
course, at the same time, the Presidency of the
Council, a post, as we all know, identical with of
our English Premiership. Supposing which
arrangement to be entered into, supposing
General DURAND° removed from the cabinet alto-
gether, and his abandoned portfolio asForeign Mini-
ster to be thereupon handed over to the Italian Pre-
mier RATTAZZI—aII the rest would be tolerably plain
sailing and easy navigation through the hitherto
troubled waters of Italian politics—for whose policy
is it asked? Why, quite obviously in that event
for the policy of Signor RATTAZZI'S master—not
the Italian KING, but the French EMPEROR.
There is just the possibility, however, that in all
these extremely ingenious " transactions" between
Signor RATTAZZI and his imperial patron, there
may arise a result indicating that both of them
have, in regard to these recent events, been,
what is called amongst ourselves by a favourite
idiom—too clever by half ! For example and in
1 instant justification of these extremely mutual
suspicions, is it not a fact that glares just now
upon the recognition of all Europe, that about the
most
unpopular man. in Italy is the successful
Italian
Premier, URBAN RATTAZZI ! And.that—still
and
man
unscrupulous
in
ru Italyui i
ss
to the last, in spite of all his recent blundering and
cp
wrongheadedness—the most popular
that very man whom this wily ttd ou
statesman has caused (in spite of "hi
popularity) to
be defeated, wounded, and imprisoned ! Whatever
the patronage accorded to RATTAZZI abroad, it i 8
absolutely impossible that an unpopularity so wide-
spread and intense, as his undoubtedly is amongst
his own countrymen, can lead to any other result
than his ignominious dofall in the end. Equally
wm
assured is it to our thinking that the popularity yet
enjoyed by GARIBALDI in his
prison in the Gulf of
before
Spezzia—must perforce bear a happy result
which
long—in raising from the dust that reputation
• '
was dashed to the earth so ignominiously but the
other day, and this by the ungratefAl bands of the
soldiers of that very King whom the discomfited
Hero had so loj ally served up to the commence-
ment of the unhappy exploit which terminated so
deplorably both for GARIBALDI and his Sovereign
upon the heights of Aspromonte.

Professor SMITH still perseveres in demanding
that eccentric thrift, on the part of England, which
Would, if acted upon, gradually strip her of all her
vast and worldwide possessions. Supposing the
Legislature were really and seriously to adopt the
astounding suggestions of the learned Professor's

his extremely ingenious, but we must yet take leave
to‘add (with all imaginable respect for this good
scholar but bad patriot),
his exceedingly prepos. '

that one after another the whole of our fifty or
sixty colonies, big and little, remote or near at hand,
were allowed to drop off,
and thenceforth to hold its
own in absolute independence of the mother coun-
