ruler as the then President of France, for, like
him, he was chosen by the people, and he is fully
justified in warring against him with the only
arms the conqueror has left him. Even the
Times itself almost admits MAZZINI'S right to
wield the pen as he has done ; and every reader
will thank him for the masterly way in which he
has shown that, instead, as the EMPEROR'S late
pamphlet maintained, of England's being indebted
to LOUTS NAPOLEON for " the Alliance," it is he
who is indebted to us. The words put into an
Englishman's mouth (page 11) will be adopted
cordially by every Englishman.

The anti-patriot journal, however, would like
o debar MAzZINI the honour of a first-class Eng-

lish publisher ; it professes to lament that a well-
known publisher should allow his name to appear
on the title-page of a pamphlet threatening a re-
newal of the late attempt, and exhorting to ass-
assination. This is pure fiction. We have read
every word of the pamphlet, and can affirm that
it would never have led us to dream of such an

interpretation. The letters of an Englishman
published by the Times itself, shortly after the
coup d'etat, were far stronger in language ; the
truth is, to run down Mezzo.' and to write up
Conspiracy Bills is' just now the official vocation
of our contemporary. Mr. EFFINGHAM WILSON
would have been unworthy of his position as an
English publisher, had he refused a noble-minded
exile the means of pouring forth his wrath against
one, who, though our ally,
,was yet the oppressor
of the exile's country. The pamphlet, as a literary
production of its class, has a claim to appear, and
Mr. WILSON is right in not adding another to the
staff of Louis NAPOLEON'S censors of the press.
Enough that he has them in France. Mr. WILSON
will certainly not become one of the familiars of a
political Holy office to prevent the publication of
heresy against despots.

A remarkable evidence of the advantages already
accruing to the community from the spread of the
Reformatory movement, was adduced last week at
'lull by the Learned Recorder. It was excerpted
from the recent reports addressed to the local ma-
gistracy by the Governor and Chaplain of the
borough goal—reports demonstrative of this one
encouraging fact, that the male juvenile offenders
there in durance at the beginning of 1856, to the
number of " twenty-nine," have already dwindled
down, as an aggregate, to—six We "do not
wait" now, as Mr. WARREN expressively observes,
"till the reptile issues forth, but stamp: where we
can on the unbroken egg." Here is proof of it
—proof positive, and surely also proof eminently
satisfactory. "Do consider the effect," says the
Recorder, further on in his earnest address to the
Grand Jury at the Borough Sessions, "do consi-
der the effect of the sapping and mining process
—for such I may call it—on the citadel of crime ;
adding, "Persevere, if you wish to see its walls
begin to quiver and finally fall down." And
remarking beyond this, emphatically and unan-
swerably—" An army that is not recruited must
soon disappear : and you are really stopping re-
cruiting for the devil's army : here, for instance,
are hopeful ones of his withdrawn, and likely to
enlist in a better service." There is something,
in truth, practically inspiriting to the promoters
of the reformatory movement in facts like those
thus conspicuously brought to light and strik-
ingly applied by the Recorder of Hull. It should
be observed, however, that Mr. WARREN'S
impressive address upon the inauguration of
the local sessions, was not by any means
restricted to this eminently successful endeavour
on his part to illustrate the remarkable extent of
the advance already male in the pregrteis of the
reformatory movement. His juridical observations
had far wider and yet more encouraging applica-
tion. As eloquently indicated, above all, by his
LA, puvitu VFLULV. It Lilkaa LILA., IL,
eyes now placed sternly and searchingly on three
foul sources of crime and misery—lgnorance,
Intemperance, and (word of sickening and deplor-
able omen I) Prostitution." Here, indeed, in
one comprehensive sentence, is epitomised the
labour of the great social reformation upon which
we have at length earnestly adventured, and in
the responsibility of prosecuting which at this mo-
ment are nuw participating, more or less conspi-
cuously, both the Legislature and the Govern-
ment. It is an old, old problem enough, no doubt,
the solution of which we aro now striving to
attain—struggling onward, please GOD, by the
!iglu; of a more wise philanthropy. To hearten
us amidst the toils of an arduous enterprise, there
are, of course, many noble hopes and aspirations.
But it may be well to realeolber now that we are
in a manner in the thick of the struggle—that in
proportion to the elevation of those aspiring iv pes
are the magnitude and the in ultiplicity of the
stubborn and deep-rooted difficulties requiring to
be grappled with and extirpated—

L UCKNO W.

On the Bth of March the arrangements on both
sides of the Goomtee for the attack were com-
pleted.

On March 9 Sir J. Outram turned the enemy's
first great line of defences by an enfilading fire,
and the Martiniere was stormed by the Second
Division, under Sir E. Lugard.
On the 10th Maich Sir Colin Campbell seized
the Bank-house, and took up an advanced position
in front of it. Sir J. ()dram pushed forward his
advances on the left of the Goomtee, the resist-
ance of the enemy being obstinate.
On the 11th of March her Majesty's 42d and
93d Highlanders stormed the Begum's Palace,
and Sir J. Outram crossed the Goomtee and occu-
pied the buildings in front of th© Palace.
In these operations our less was under 100
killed and wounded. Among the killed are Captain
Macdonald, Her Majesty's 93d ; Captain Cooper,
Rifle Brigade ; Captain Moorsom, Staff.

On the 13th of March a sap was ran up to the
Imambarra, which is close to the walled enclosure
of the Kaiserbagh. •
O❑ the 14th of March the Imanaliarra was
stormed, and the troops following close on the re-
tiring enemy, entered the Kaisurbagh with them ;
the contest lasted until 3 o'clock p.m., by which
time Sir Colin Campbell was in full possession of
the Kaiserbagh.

MALTA, APRIL 7.

Intelligence reached this yesterday of a conflict,
near Ghadames, between the Ottomans and the
Arabs, under Sheik Goulualt, who was betrayed
and :lain by one of his followers; his head had
been brought into Tripoli, whore great rejoicings
had taken place.

An Ottoman steam liner and frigate, having
on board 3,000 troops from Constantinople, put
into Corfu on the 19th, and left on the 22d o
March for Albania, to put a stop to the depreda-
tions committed on the Turk,sh fron ier in the
Adriatic, and to protect it against an invasitA4
from the Montenegrins.
The Ripon arrived from Southampton last night
and the Euxiue from Marseilles this morning with
the India mails, with which they have left for
Alexandria.
