OUR ~ ANGEL SIDE."

Good and evil, like plants of earthly growth, in-
crease by culture; but in order that they may be
cultivated they must be discerned and recognised.
The great system under which evil has grown up, is
one which takes note mainly, if not entirely, of the
defects and frailties of humanity, which is intended to
repress vices rather than to cultivate virtues, and
hence has grown up the practice of imprisoning in-
stead of teaching—of punishing instead of prevent-
ing—of relying upon force rather than upon affection
—of appealing to fear, the lowest and most degrading
of man's attributes, instead of to love, the highest and
most ennobling of his qualities—in order to prevent
vice and crime. Few people seem to have thought
that it is better to create truth, than to punish error.
There has been a want of perception of the fact,
that good and evil may be compared to two spheres,
spreading over, and occupying the whole surface
of the human mind ; that as one is expanded the
other is necessarily decreased, and that the true
way to diminish the sphere of evil is by good gentle
agencies—by high and holy teaching—by forbear-
ance, patience, and charity, to extend the sphere
of good. From this not being generally understood,
the attempt has been hitherto to govern men through
their vices, instead of their virtues—through their pas-
sions instead of their affections ; the " angel side" of
humanity has been forgotten, while its demon-like as-
pect has been brought into glaring prominence, and
vice has grown and spread like a foul ulcer, mocking
in its power the ill-directed and futile attempts to
check its ravages. * * * And so, through all the
phases in life, in the world, and in the home, love is
the true civilizer, the creator of unnumbered benefits.
It is affection which links families together with a
stronger chain than laws can find to bind empires ;
and when that fails, no law can supply its place ; no
authority can gather together its broken parts, can
weld them again into one. It is love that calls out all
the good of which man, in the varied relations of life,
is capable. Where that cannot enter, all good is barred
out for ever ; but perhaps there never yet lived a being
upon earth—perhaps there never was a murderer so
brutal, or a robber so hardened—that some touch of
human sympathy did not linger in him, and gild even
his crimes with a holy ray of human sympathy, the best
evidence that the lowest and most debased has still an
" Angel Side."—Eliza Cook's Journal.

LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1850.

With the gorgeous ceremonial of-yesterday the Par-
liamentary Session of 1850 was brought to a conclu-
sion. Already, therefore, the consideration cf its la-
bours beComes a duty devolving upon the journalist,
as it must ultimately do on the historian. Even now
the lull consequent upon the annual prorogation is
sufficiently.oppreciable to enable ua with some degree
of equanimity to form a reasonable estimate of
the recent proceedings of the Legislature. After the
turmoil of so many discussions, we can abandon our-
selves with no inconsiderable satisfaction to the respon-
sibilities of political criticism. Nor is the intellectual
vigilance requi,3ite in the important occupation of ana-
lysis, such as an analysis of the late achievements of
the English Parliament, in any way diminished by the
absence from the records of the session of any
very brilliant or comprehensive innovations. If the
changes•rtf ectcd during the past year have not been
of the most remarkable description they have, never-
theless, pArtaken of that character which most tench
towards the development of our Constitution. They
have influenced the working of that C )nstitution in a
canner calculated to promote the interior prosperity
of the empire. They have at least been so far advan-
tageous as to,have demonstrated the patriotism of our

HOP INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Maidstone Journal.)
MAIDSTONE.—The hop plantations are now every-
where brightening with the development of the burr
into hop. This is more particularly the case in the
Weald, where the plantations seem to be rather more
forward than in Mid Kent. The bine is, however,
both there and in Sussex, much more slack, and
scarcely warrants the high quotation of duty. The
winds of Thursday and Friday last did some damage,
the extent of which will be more apparent a few days
hence than at present. Our parish reports are still
so identical in their description of the grounds as to
render it quite useless to give them in detail. In
those places where the mould has appeared it seems
to he on the increase, and many apprehend that it
will be seriously extensive.

One of our Mid-Kent district reports says,—" The
mould is likely to do much mischief in some of the
grounds, as it is upon the increase, and the wet warm
weather is in its favour ; there aro some grounds free
from it to any extent at present. The result is looked
forward to with great anxiety. The bine looks well
and grows freely, and, except the mould, has a very
promising appearance."
Another correspondent says,—" I have seen Farn-
ham and Worcester, and have been with their best
planters. It is their opinion as well as my own,
that though the bine is generally good the fruit is
likely to be too late. Hops are a fortnight too back-
ward, and without the weather be more genial than
the last few days, we shall fall far short of the duty
now estimated. The complaint of Sussex is back•
wariness, and slackness of burr, as they say it is
too tar apart.' Mould, in our neighbourhood, is much
to be feared. It does not exist merely in the ima-
gination ; it is too visible."
WORCESTER.—There is nothing new to report this
week as to the growing crop, which progresses most
favourably, and the produce is likely to be abundant
everywhere. The accounts from Kent speak of
mould among some of the best grounds, but with the
present bright warm weather the disease is not likely
to spread to any extent. Our market is quiet, and
prices the same as last week. Duty for the district
20,0001., and 190,0001. for the whole kingdom.
FOREIGN Hors.—An importation of some packages
of Hops has just taken place by a vessel from Lisbon,
as a portion of her cargo, of Portuguese produce.
This is the first time an arrival.of hops has taken place
from this southern state of Europe since the introduc-
tion of the article from foreign countries, and the
arrival is, therefore, of interest.

THE PROROGATION.

At twenty minutes pasty two o'clock Mr. Put-
man, the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod, en-
tered the House, and on arriving at the table said:—
" Mr. Speaker, the Queen commands this Honourable
House to attend her Majesty immediately in the House
of Lord," The Speaker then left the chair, and: fo,-
lowed by the whole of the Members, proceeded through
the new lobby and corridor to the Housei of Lords. Un
his return, he stated that, in obedience to the Queen's com •
mand, he had attended her Majesty in the House of Lords,
where her Majesty had been graciously pleased to give her
Royal assent to several Bills, and had also deliverecitckher
Parliament a most gracious speech, which she itight
Hon. Gentleman read, and which our readers wAillutdi -

BO W-STREET.-(T HIS DA Y.)

Two respectably attirrd men, who gave their names
sa George Haigh and CharksWants, were charged
with obstructing the police in tt e execution of their duty.

rolicc-constable A 156 stat,ed that whi!e on duty in
Chancery-lane, on Sunday morning, between twelve and
one o'clock, he heard a cry of " police," and on going
Intl Holborn he found Haigh violently shaking a mac,
and surrounded by a mob of peoplc. He tried to g• t
him away from the man whom he was illusing, when the
prisoner scizel him by the collar, and placing his fingers
baween his neck and stock, ho attempted to throttle
him; but witness had recourse to his truncheon, and
beat his hands off. Shortly afterwards assistance came
up, and the prisoner was, with some difficulty, conveyed
to the ,ation.

Air. HALL—Did he say anything to you? Witness—
I asked him what be was doing with the man, and his
" Find out, you d—d thief."
Polite-constable A 224, one of the police who came to
the rescue of the last witness, stated that the prisoner
Wi:liams, and others fhe mob, pushed against him and
endeavoured to prevent his reaching his brother con-
stable. The prisoner struck him, while some of his
companions knocked his hat over his eyes.
Mr. HALL—flow many people were assembled on the
spot? Witness—l should say about 300.
Mr. 11ALL—Then there was a riotous disturbance.
Witness—There was a dreadful noise.

Mr. HALL—What have ycu to say, Haigh?

_ .
Ilaigh said he was ashamed of his conduct, and sorry
for what had occurred, for it was always his desire to
resist rather than obstruct the police. The fact was,
however, he wai a trunk-maker, but he had been out of
work all through the -winter until last week, when he
succeeded in getting into a shop, and whsn he commit-
ted the offence Alp was returning home from the house
where he had' his footing."
Williams, who ~.escribed himself as a clerk, denied all
knowledge of the transaction. He was aaracte ito the
spot by the noise, and on reaching it he was pounced
upon by the police, and carried away to the station-
housca

Mr. HALL said such a disturbance could not be tole-
rate!' in the streets, nor could he visit this offence with
a slight fine. The prisoners must then( fore p*y 50.!.
each or be imprisoned fourteen days.
The prisoners were then removed in custody.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
Her Majesty awl Prince Albert, accompanied by
the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess
aed the Princess Helena, honcured the per-
formances at this theatre with their presence on Sa-
turday evening last. The royal party arrived before
the close of the first piece, which was The Spoiled
Child, and in which the clever performance of Miss
Maria Ternan, as Little Pickle, at once attracted the
attention of the juvenile royal visitors. The audience
recognised their presence previous to the overture fur
the pantomime commencing, and there were some
cries raised in the first gallery for " Goi Rave the
Queen," but these were at once repressed upon
its being perceived, by the withdrawal of the
royal children from the front of the box, that this
manifestation of loyalty would not be agreeable to her
Majesty. Their privacy was not further intruded
upon during the evening, except in the very natural
one of noticing how they enjoyed the performance.
For the information, then, cf all papas and mammas,
we can state, that at all our visits to theatres at this
season for the last twenty years, we never witnessed
more hearty enjoyment, more thorough youthful ap•
preciation of the drolleries of the pantomimes, than was
exhibited by the party who occupied the royal box
on Saturday night. The two Princesses, their little
hands enveloped in white kid gloves, trimmed with
black, never ceased to applaud, whilst their joyous
countenances exhibited unceasing happiness. Prince
Alfred evinced, on account of his age, more astonish-
ment perhaps than pleasure ; but the Prince of Wales,
boy-like, alternately applauded and laughed, and
turned to the Queen to express some mark of wonder
or pleasure. But the great delight of the evening
was the surprising scene between Stilt the Clown and
his son, a little fellow apparently not more than six
years of age, dressed as a •' juvenile clown." The
moment the pantomime was concluded the royal
party retired. Planche's comedy of Charles XII.
followed. The house was crowded in every part, and
the priva'e boxes (especially those commanding a
view of the royal visitors) were occupied by several
members of the nobility with their young families.

years' detention in the interior as a punishment for

the Internuncio gradually sank to five years, would
not hear of his proposal. Hence the matter has once

Accounts from Vienna state that HAYNAU has
called out the former Mobile and National Guards
of Presburgh and Pesth, for the purpose of raising a
forced levy of 24,000 men. Large numbers of Hun-
garian fugitives have fled to Bosnia, and are treated
with great kindness by the Turks.
The Kolner Zeitung has a telegraphic dispatch
from Berlin, of the 25th, stating that the First
Chamber had adopted, in that day's sitting, the re-
solution of the Second Chamber relative to the tax
on beet-root sugar. The law relative to the pro-
vinces and the relations with Posen were then pro-
ceeded with. The Chamber was to hold an evening
sitting.
The Second Chamber had elected the State Debt
Commission. Deputies PORSHAMMER, GEPPERT, and
GAMES were chosen.
President VoLLritscsa was to proceed on the 26th
inst. on his mission as Commissioner to the Duchies,
in consequence of which the Council would hold a
most important deliberation. Among the Commis-
sioners appointed to arrange matters with the Diet
are VOLLPRACHT, SEERECH, VOII BODELSCHWINGH,
and BLOMEIt.

The men accused of assassinating Prince Lica

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

REFUSAL OF PRUSSIA TO RENEW THE

ARMISTICE.

BERLIN, FEB. 23.—Prussia has refused to 'renew
the armistice with Denmark for six months, on the
ground that ahe cannot countenance the continuance
of a Provisional Government in the Duchy of Schles-
wig, which is entirely paralysed by the universal
resistance of the people, whose acts are in direct op-
position with the reasonable wishes of the people, and
whose administration cannot be defended by any prin-
ciple of political or moral right.
There is little reason to be alarmed at this news.
The war will certainly not be renewed between
Prussia and Denmark or Germany and Denmark. It
may, however, be renewed between Schleswig-Hol-
stein and Denmark. However deplorable the last
result may be, British commerce will be affected in a
very different degree from what it was during the
blockade of the German ports.
The armistice runs on of itself indefinitively ; but
denunciation on either side renews the war in six
weeks. The consequence of Prussia's declaration
will be the breaking up of the Administrative Com-
mission in the Duchy of Schleswig. Count EULEN.,
BURG will retire, and then, of course, Colonel HODGES
and Count Tu..Luca will follow.
