AUBERON HERBERT ON REPUBLICANISM.  The following is the text of the letter from Mr. Auberon Herbert, M.P., read at the annual meeting of the Bolton Republican Club, en Saturdaz last :—"I am sorry that it will not be in my power to accept your very kind invitation. lam glad that your club continues to be piosperoua lam hopeful about the future. though much. I might say everything, depends upon ourselves, and the manner of men that we are of. Unless we can build our Republic, as Martini used to teach us, upon • moral and religious idea—l use these words in their largest sense—it will not profit on much. As Republicans we aro bound to show, above all men, an esteem and respect for the weapons of minion and argainent; an aversion to every form of violence and intimidation ; patience with opinions different from our own, and a determination that for no pretence whatsoever—even for the defeat of • temporary evil—will we allow suck power to pass into the hands ot the State as may depress the growth of individual liberties. I lay great stress on this hat point, because I believe that the happy and progressive rule of modern society is, that we should not seek to have power and control over each other. What we all want at the present moment is faith in our own efforts and in moral influences, and the determination to place • check upon ourselves whenever we feel inclined to make other people see, think, and act as we wish them to do by any other means whatsoever. This higher spirit is what we, as Republicans, have to ahew."  Lady Hannen, the wife of the newlyappointed judge of the Probate Court, died on Sunday evening at eight o'clock.  Mi. T.
