movement Was for single definite measure;
lie third, which was more indefinite and compli.
Gated, had been csnvassei in different shapes Tor
sixty years previous to its enactment, and had
the further advantage Of being consistently
cbampioned by the Wing aristocrscy. The
present mo,ement which is hostile to all srsi.-
cratic monopoly whether Wing or Tory, can APP
peal TO neither of the organized parties in the
state, and has to create its own organization
and instruments, feat which cannot be acc0m-
plished in a day. That the popular mind Of
Britain has not yet enVisaged the task that lies
before il in this agitation is evident from the
fact that not word has yet been said
about the House of Lords. Now mid
dle-class administration is utterly incompa,i-
bic with the existence of an hereditary
House of Peers. Even Wing Government
makes poor numerical show and is in perms-
nent minority in that place. Its measures are
occasionally thrown out and very commonly
crippled in their passage through the Upper
House. 4 ndde-clsss ministry could not hope
to find half dozen Peors willing to take care
in that assembly of their measures, which must
necessarily be Of reforming character. To
carry on an agitation against aristoeratc monop
oily of high Office or for radical change in the
"system Of Government" without daring 10 whis-
per " ord against the House of Lords, is farce.
II is not until the people and their organs the
liberal journals and public men of Great Britain,
have looked the House OF Lords fairly in the face
and have familiarzed themselves with the Consti-
tution0l idea Of swapping it with wholesale
creation of Peers, that we can believe that they
have lathomed their own position. When they set
about doing this, then only will the agitation have
reached distinctness Of purpose and emerge from
the hazy regions of vague defamation and sterile
grumbling. While, therefore, the movement for
Administrative Reform is far larger and more
thorough than any that has yet sprung from or
been countenanced BY the middle class of England
since Cromwes time it is also pne that emnently
needs time and agitation for its success. IL is in
exorably revolutionary in its character. The Brit
ish system of Government, mOjerniZed in its lower
and popular departments, remains medieval and
barbaric in its exterior features aud higher func-
tons Admit the middle and working classes to
power, and the system is dcfeudalzcd in every
aspect The semi -ieudal semi constitutional re-
CINE would then give place to one thoroughly con-
sttutional in it's latest and best sense. We have
yet to learn that the moneyed manufacturing,
trading and commercial men of Great Britain have
made up their minds to go 50 far. The furious
demonstration in favor of Bonaparte by the intlu-
entail Corporators of London, Manchester, Liver
pool, Birmingham and Glasgow-was it intended
az demonstration against their own cumbrous
and chaotic system of Government

However, as that seemed as good an opportunity
IS could be desired tosettle the question whether
il was worth while for us to continue in the
business OF making an independent Newspaper
or TO seek some other crcditable mode Of GET

And now we are happy to say that no part of the
menaced ruin has ever befallen us. Instead OF
decline in our subscription lists they have ex-
hibited and still exhibit surprising increase.
The TRIBUNE year ago circulated, of all it's
editions, only $4,000 copies, while to-day it's
aggregate circulation falls little short Of
10000, so that whatever we have done to

THE SECRET.

Roger Bacon was an English monk,
who taught in the University Of Oxford,
more than six hundred years ago. Hewas
man Of great learning, skilled in Latin,
Greek, and Hebrew, but especially fond
of chemistry. He used to spend many
hours each day in one of the seclet cells
of the convent, engaged in various ex-
periments' While thus employed he
had found that sulphur, charcoal, and
'saltpetre, mingled together in certain
way, would make a new and strange
compound; indeed, SO strange and dan
gerous did this new mixture seem, that
the monk himselfwas almost afraid Of it,
and therefore told no one of his discove-
ry. Us
Among the pupils was a youth who
wasso fond ofstudy and so promp toobey
his teachers, that he became favorite
with all, and Roger Bacon would often
ask his help in. the laboratory--a large
room where the students were Instructed
in chemistry but he never allowed him
to enter his private cell. This youth :
name was Hubert de Dreux.
Sometimes as Hubert sat reading OF
studying, or mixing medicines in this lar
ger room. he was startled by sounds like
distant thunder coming from, his masters
apartment; sometimes q bright ligh,
shone for q moment through the chinks
of the door, and then an unpleasant odor
would almost suffocate him. All these
things exited his curiosity; but whenever
ne knocked or strove to. enter, Roger
Bacon would sternly bid him attend to
his own affairs, and never again inter-
rupt him. The door was always kept
locked, and every time the boy yentur-
ed to ask the cause, he was silenced by
his teachers gruf words and severe
looks. a aRts3 si8 sfs
Months glided away, and still he Gag
erly but vainly sought to learn the secret.
At lenth an opportunity offered. Roger
Bacon was widely known as aphysician
and surgeon. One cold November day
he was called to attend on Walter de
Loosely, q rich man in the next town,
who had been dangerously hurt. the
monk gave all the necessary orders to
Hubert, and bidding him be careful 70
