notice to embark a large army at Toulon, and
throw it into Genoa, whence it might advance upon
his line of communication ; or should the Duchies
declare for Austria, into the port of Spezzia, within
four days' march of Piacenza. Should the Pied-
montese fall back in the direction of the Apennines,
they would have the advantage of operating in a
country peculiarly capable of defence, and also that
of hastening their junction with French supports
arriving by the coast.
While awaiting the result of these opposite
movements one reflection forces itself upon the
mind with peculiar force. It is the inscrutable
nature'of the principles of our foreign policy. Mere
is a small power, Sardinia, which for ten years has
pliced herself by our side with a confidence and
affection which at times have been touching, con-
fronted in arms by a deadly foe of three times her
strength. We are sorry for her, very sorry ; but
we cannot help her. We should regret to see her
independence gone, her Chambers closed, her free
press put under censorship, still we cannot inter-
fere. We find comfort, however, in the thought
that we are sacrificing our feelings to a high
principle of duty and policy, when all at once
some warm expression let fall by a too-eloquent
Minister, or the stray sentence of an inspired
journalist, recalls us to the fact, that in reality
we are hastening into this very war, and taking
up a position of active hostility to the very State
which we profess or desire to defend. We protest
once more, in the name of our countrymen, that, as
we do not fight for Sardinia and freedom now, we
will not be betrayed into fighting for absolutism in
Lombardy and Venice six months hence. If Austria
had not lost her treaty rights in those countries by
the flagrant violations of public law which we ex-
posed yesterdas, she has at all events committed
them now to the chances of war. By those chances
she must abide. If the Italians, aided by France,
can expel the Austrians from the country, by all
means let them do so. We profess to be neutral—
we must be honestly neutral. This is a matter
which electors shank( look to next week, and men-
tion to the members they send to Parliament.

and he now intimates in unmistakeable
that the forthcoming contest is likely to 4g 4: S
arguments of a kind stronger than ever in '3l
favour of similar conclusions. He impresses upon r'.
his supporters that " There must be constant watch- . :::'
ing ; 'everything suspicious must be noted, • and_ _____L____
everybody should copy down evidence that may be :: ri
required respecting it. I have the firmest impres- =
sion that at this election—l do not speak of Carlisle
especially—money will be profusely spent to an
extent that has not been known for a long time." .
If this is the case, and if the result of such proceed-
ings is an unavoidable conversion to the ballot, it
requires xo long train of argument to-show that _
the reasoning so influential with Sir James's sup-
porters may some fine morning act irresistably
•
upon himself. At present he rather thinks that if
the suffrage is extended with sufficient liberality
the very numbers of the working men may secure
them. against evil influences, though the security is
certainly seen to fail in their own trades' unions.
However, there is one borough, at any rate, where
there will be a contest of the genuine old stamp.
All the features of the occasion are already discer-
nible; "roughs," at 4s. a day; gentlemenlin black
wigs and spectacles ; Blues and Yellows game to
the backbone; strong personalitiesewifli universal
undertakings to avoid them ; squil33,- placards,
poetry, open-air meetings, effective harangues, and,
finally, a candidate very entirely competent. to sus-
tain the principal part in the scene. If good
fighting is to win the day Sir James ought to bring
in his nephew for Carlisle.— Times.

SHEFFIELD AND HALIFAX.--Sheffield also was
noted for its whittles even in the time ofiChaueer, as it now
gives steel to all the world—the blade to the Briton for his
beef, and the savage for his " long-pir —to the Red Indian
for scalping a foe, and the civilised American for " solving
a difficulty"—to the brigand for cutting a throat, the sailor
his tobacco, the priest his sacramental bread. One great
branch of Sheffield's industry in these days consists in the
manufacture of that mysterious article of feminine apparel
which is used to give the female form its full develope
went, and endow it with the essextial bulginess.
Sheffield thrives on the new fashion, which almost
makes up for it in the decline of the tomahawk business
consequent on the evringelisationpf Polynesia. Halifax is
another of the old industrial towns, now hardly able to held
its own against its younger rivals. It is noted as the largest
parish in England, and otherwise by its name of terror to
thieves. "From Hell, Hull, and Halifax good Lord deliver
us I" was a part of the ancient thieves' litany, the last being
dreaded the most for its bloody law, by which felons taken
within the liberty, either • " hand-habened, back-berand, ur .
confessand." as to any commodity of the value of thirteen-
pence halfpenny were liable to be beheaded within three
days by a species of guillotine. Not the least important of
the manufacturing towns is Batley, the chief seat of that
great latter-day staple of England--sheddy. This is the
famous rag capital, the tatter metropolis, where every beg-
gar in Europe sends his cast-off clOthes to he made into sham
broadcloth for cheap gentility. O moth-eaten coats, frowsy
jackets, receky linen, effusive cotton, and old worsted stock-
ings this is the last destination. ' Reduced to filament and
a greasy pulp by mighty-toothed cylinders, the much-vexed
fabrics re-enter life in the mast brilliant forms—from solid
pilot cloth to silky mohair and glossiest tweed. Thus the
tail coat rejected by the Irish peasant, the gaberdine too
foul for the Polish beggar, are turned again-to shining uses,-
re-appearing, it may be, in the lustrous paletot of the sport-
ing dandy, the delicate riding habit of the Belgravian belie,
1 or the sad-sleek garment of her confessor.--Westchester
