only one in which all the members of any trade can be ascertained.

list, now so greatly extended that it Inc udes upwards of Forty-lour
thousand names.

sive as to inclade all the Railway Stations and Money Order Offices
in Great Drlain, is Included in the volume, which also contains a

Lord Aberdeen has got hold of a new phrase, if not
of a new idea. At the Lord Mayor's banquet Lord
Aberdeen dropped his stereotyped "just, lasting and
honourable peace," and talked of bringing " this contest
to a happy termination." Unluckily the new formula
is as susceptible as the old of being interpreted in many,
different ways, according to the "mental reservation'
of the speaker. But this is not the worst. He is a

contrived to insult gratuitously almost the whole of the
English people. Lord Aberdeen, while enlogisiag his
own valour, expressed the opinion that " many of those
who were most eager for the war are now the most
easily discouraged by those vicissitudes which are the
unavoidable incidents of a state of warfare." Where
has this calumniator of his countrymen seen any symp-
tom of discouragement in any portion of the English
public I The public expectation of early triumphant
results of the war has been sometimes more and some•
times less sanguine, but the least favourable anticipations
entertained at any time have only inspired Englishmen
with a more stubborn resolution to struggle on until
things went better. Lord Aberdeen's wantonly offen-
sive imputation of faintheartedness to the nation whose
indignant voice compelled. him reluctantly to assert the
principle of national independence, in opposition to his
friend the Czar, is merely the splenetic effusion of a
cold-hearted and imbecile old man, placed in a position
to the discharge of the duties of which he is incompetent,
and overflowing with malice towards all who make him
feel his impotence.
A very strong feeling is at this moment expressed
against the Greek merchants resident in London and
Manchester. We do not wonder at it, their impertinent
obtrusion of their sympathies with the Czar, and of their
desire that the arms of the Allies should be baffled, has
been more than mortal patience could endure. Never-
theless, we are more disposed to warn against excessive
indulgence of the indignation their folly as kindled than
feeling and common sense as to insult the people among

newspapers For our own part we think it is rather an
the beginning of the miserable attempts of the Greek
Court and Government to stir up the insurrectionary
movements in the frontier provinces of Turkey, there
was a small party in this country disposed to sympathise
with the Greeks, and puff them as an intelligent, high•
minded race. Nothing has helped so much to disabuse
the English public on this score as the presence among
them of the Greek merchants in Manchester and London.
These men have been sent hither as among the most
acute and enterprising of their countrymen to manage
their commercial affairs ; they have enjoyed the advan-
tage of mingling with the enlightened society of the west
of Europe ; yet see what poor, silly, waspish creatures
they are. They ought to be tolerated among us, as we
tolerate the monkeys in the Zoological Gardens, in order
that we may have opportunities of studying the charac-
teristics of their race. It is beneath the dignity of Eng-
lishmen to get seriously angry with them.
It seems the more necessary to insist upon this 'view
of the matter, because the Times has been strenuously
labouring to fan the flame of popular indignation against
the Greeks. That newspaper is denouncing, in its
a.haradlMvieAeet
rnaettnehtanlhennsesfnodivgl
fallen
utterly destitute of right
wonted brickbat style, men whose actions and expres-
sions, reprehensible though they be, merely give utter-
ance to sentiments and opinions which, not many months
age, were advocated by the Times itself. The Times,
while denouncing the offensive demonstrations of the
Greeks in Manchester and London, claims for any un-
English Englishman who may sympathise with them
immunity and freedom of speech. We confess That,
on the contrary, we can tolerate much in these aliens
that excites in us the most uncontrollahle disgust and
indignation when we witness it in any one who claims
to be regarded as a Briton. The poor stockjobbing and
speculating Greeks of private life can do us little harm ;
but " Greeks in heart," holding responsible situations,
may do. The men of Manchester would do well to re.
fleet that not a few of the most offensive mis-statements
and sentiments of the Greeks living among them have
been endorsed by one of their own representatives in
Parliament. The most offensive Greek at this moment
n England is, "The classic Thane, Athenian Aberdeen."

should not be found much affected by a law not carded
out in those very parts of the city aid it suburbs where
crime is chiefly concocted and matured, and where there
are the most opportunities for its cowmission. While
the magistrates within the Royalty carry out the act,
they find themselves besieged by a circe of neglect,
drunkenness, and crime outside the Royalkc, pervading
a population of nearly 100,000. At Glasgow, Paisley,
and 13rechin the act has fair play, and its results are less
qualified.
Of course we do not forget in these remarks that the
Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sab-
bath. In our humble opinion Sunday observance is a
matter for reasonable arrangement, and that any man
absolutely needing locomotion, refreshment, and even
moderate recreation on that day, has as much right to
expect it as the ox or the ass to be drawn out of the pit, or
the sick to be healed. Point out any case of necessity,
and that case must be mot, either by a special provision
of the act, or by a dispensing power in the hands of the
magistrates. We say that it must be met, simply be-
cause 50 long as it is not met it will give a character of
extravagance and abwrdity to any general enactmei:t,
and eventually lead to its repeal. When.a gentleman
brought to a standstill within fifty miles of his dying
child on a " Sabbath-eve," or when a man compelled by
the inexorable public to work all Sunday night at an
employment draining his strength, and requiring it to
be continually recruited, cannot get a glass of the mildest
stimulant, then a stigma and a scandal is brought upon
law, for nature and common sense will not endure so
tyrannical a discipline. The public convenience is the
best rule in these questions, and, though individuals must
continually be called on to sacrifice theiradvantage or their
comfort to the general good, it will never be toleratedthat
a lawful, honourable, and necessary employment shall be
accompanied with severe and unnecessary hardships,
simply through the rigid application of a law. There
can be no possible analogy between the case of a man
bard at work in the way of a necessary calling, andlhat
of an idle man seeking early in the day for a stimulus
which he has no occasion for, and had better be without.
There is, of course, much practical difficulty in meet-
ing particular cases without letting in large classes, or,
in other words, devising exemptions which shall not be
fatal to the measure. That is a difficulty. The appli-
cation of common sense always is difficult, much more
difficult than the application of a Procrustean rule which
shall convict itself of folly at once. For a hundred who
can reason in an exact and mathematical manner
only
one can reason sensibly and wisely, and in that ratio is
wise legislation more difficult than laws done by rule of
three. Nevertheless, this is the only legislation that
human nature will tolerate or that will endure.—Tines.
