of Italy, to the balance of power, and the peace
of Europe. To sustain this maxim the road of
reform is abandoned for that of revolution.
It certainly is very difficult to understand what
the principle of nationality is worth if the nations,
When their Governments have driven them to re-
pudiate them as unendurable, are not entitled to
bid them abdicate in favour of better men. Revo-
lution is the reform requir:d, by the Baron's good
leave, when things have come to that point. Ile
complains that while the Count asks for non-inter-
vention in Italy, he is himself intervening in the
States of the Church. The worthy Baron does not
seem to comprehend the fact that Italy is now, in
its own judgment, a nation, and that some Italians
helping other Italians is in their view ni.t inter-
vention but brotherhood.
However, things in Italy will Iv* take their
own course. The ambassador of Portugal may be
withdrawn from Turin at the instance of the
COBURGS—aII the ambassadors may go, if they
like—Naples will be compensation enough for their
absence. As for the report from St. Petersburg
that Lord JOHN has written thither acknowledging
the absolute right of Austria to Venetia, we cannot
believe a word of it. We do not forget his dis-
creditable dispatch to Count CAVOUR, but that did
not go such lengths ; and his lordship must know
full well that his place in the Cabinet would soon
be vacant, and perhaps his seat for London too, if
he dared so to sell himself to the COBURGS and to
Prussia. We shall not believe such a rumour
till we have proof of its truth ; and, simply
because Lord JOHN RUSSELL is not quite mad.

It is with peculiar satisfaction that we direct
the notice of the public generally to a recent
charge made to the local grand jury by one of our
learned Recorders. The document (given by us
as nearly as possible in its entirety) will be found
in another part of our impression of this evening;
and it is one especially entitled to the considera-
tion of all classes of the community—to all classes
we might say without any distinction or exception
whatsoever. It constitutes a carefully elaborated
epitome of the results of the last year's legislation—
giving us an abstract of the most important among
the various public and general acts of this last
session—viz., the 23 and 24 VICTORIA. The learned
Recorder, whose charge we have (and for this
reason) selected for publication in our columns, is
no other than the late M.P. for Midhurst, himself
consequently but recently among the number of our
legislators, during the last nine years one of her
MAJESTY'S Counsel learned in the law, and one
who,`, strange to tell, combines with a brilliant re-
putation in the fields of imaginative literature no
inconsiderable repute among our living English
jurisconsults. Mr. WARREN'S very remarkable
abridgment of Blackstone's Commentaries, care-
fully adapted by him to existing law, and anno-
tated. throughout with singular perspicuity, has
long since taken its place among the recognised
text books at our Universities. Reference to this
work being here made by us designedly—(how-
ever apparently apropos des bottes, and no matter
with what abruptness)—be cause this late charge de-
livered to the grand jury at Hull by Mr. WARREN
as the local Recorder, is of a character so remark-
able in its way as an epitome of the latest additions
to the statute-books of the realm, that it might be not
inappropriately appended to those several compre-
hensive supplementary chapters or divisions closing
the last edition of that well-known, popular, and
widely-distributed Handbook of the Laws of Eng-
land, WARREN'S BLACKSTONE.
A glance, however casual, down this last really
valuable charge to the grand jury by the Hull Re-
corder can hardly fail to surprise those (and they are
not a few) who have hitherto declared the recent Par-
liamentary session to have been a mere waste of pub-
lic time in idle and fruitless discussions. That the
Lords and Commons, but especially that the Com-
mons have talked over-much this year, is certainly

a truth, a very melancholy truth, altogether be-
yond the reach of contradiction. And for this
exceeding verbosity and garrulity the popular re-
presentatives have received very recently the well
written reprehension of no less eminent an autho-
rity than Lord BROUGHAM himself, the greatest
law reformer of the age, and ,(dividing the two
grand divisions of his public life) one of the most
illustrious members of both branches of the Impe-
rial Legislature. Upon the needless prolongation
of the debates in Parliament, more particularly
among the popular representatives,LordßßouGliAm
has recently pronounced weighty and sternly de-
served word; of reprobation. Yet in testimony
that while the Lords and Commons have talked
much, they have also done much in the way of
wholesome legislative improvements, let us con-
tent ourselves with directing the attention of the
general public to Mr. WARREN'S useful and lucid
sumnastry of the salient points in last year's varied
legislation. It will be there seen that the
public acts alone number up a grand total of no
less than 154 altogether—that while 40 of them
relate exclusively to Ireland and Scotland, the re-
maining 114 include among them enactments of the
most vital interest and of the gravest importance.
Foremost among these are five acts affecting the
safety of the realm—two affecting the organisation
of the Legislature—eleven materially affecting our
fiscal and financial regulations--besides others
affecting the momentous subjects of education,
marriage, pluralities, charitable bequests, tithe
commutations, juvenile labour in mines, female and
juvenile labour in factories, &c., &c. Better, how-
ever, than the presentation nere of any dry cata-
logue of these important acts is the terse and lucid
exposition of them, given elsewhere, in the charge
itself of the learned Recorder of Hull. By the
delivery of that charge Mr. WARREN has unques-
tionably done good service at once to the public at
large and to the Imperial Legislature.

Our readers noticed, we suppose, the Prussian
Note, in reply to Count Cayoun's memorandum,
in defence of the course taken by Sardinia in
Italy ; and they probably noticed also the speeches
of Major BEItEBFORD and Mr. Du CANE at the
grand Conservative dinner at Hineford. They
way advantageously compare the two. The note
of the Prussian Foreign Secretary is the deliver_
ante of German Liberalism, such as it is, on the
affairs of Italy ; the speeches of the English
members of Parliament are the deliverance of the
most thorough English Conservatism, on the same
subject. Comparing the two it does, indeed,
make us, hearty Liberals as we are, proud of onr
Conservatives. It reminds us of the political
brotherhood of all Englishmen, and of how
trivial, after all, are the differences which divide
us politically when we view them in the light of

Continental Governments.
The English Tories, while denouncing revolution,
while adverting to their inborn and hereditary
aversion to it, proclaimed a far greater aversion to
irresponsible tyranny; and while they could not
deny that in one sense GARIBALDI was a brigand,
they gloried in him as a " patriot-brigand," and
were ready to drink success to his expedition. A
meeting of High and Dry English Tories--with
'Major BERESFORD the veritable " W.8."-- at
their head, bide the tyrants of Europe in truth look
to themselves. Conser-vatism in England does noi•
mean breaking: up an " irresponsible tyranny." We ~----_
