"The one Idea which . History exnibits as evermore developing itself into greater distinctness is the Idea or Humanity—the noble * endeavour to throw down ' all the barriers erected between , men by prejudice and one-sided Viev 73 ; and by setting aside ths distinctions of Religion , Country , and Colour , to treat the whole Human race as one brotherhood , having one great object—the free development of our spiritual nature . "—Hujiboldt's Cosmos .

Whitsuntide Has Beett'isfefc Bustling, C...
Whitsuntide has beett ' isfefc bustling , chilly , and altogether out of rule . Politics are as flat , in the ordinary routine , as boiled mutton chops daily ; and it is only in th , e distiftee that ^ Satae more movement and excitement are destried . The Exposition , true to its rule , has stultified expectation , T > y showing , in lieu ojs the excessive crowding anticipated , quite a moderation of multitude . The weekly subscription to pleasure excursions for the Monday was not to be 6 et aside : Greenwich , Hampton Court , and such holiday places , were not defrauded of their company by that vast attraction which defrauds almost everything else .
Great banquets in the City continue to signalize , not the Exposition , which signalizes itself , but the good services of the officers connected with it ; Lord Stanley has confessed that fears respecting it have been negatived by the great reality ; Baron Charles Dupin has introduced his brother , President of the French Assembly , to Queen Victoria in the Exposition . The deplorable wet weather has done nothing for Colonel Sibthorp towards melting the glass or otherwise destroying the Crystal Palace ; the receipts of which have now covered the cost , and people are asking what is to be done with the surplus r Under cover of the great metropolitan gathering , the British Association for the Advancement of
Science holds its meeting earlier in the year than usual : and Professor Airey delivered his inaugural address as ^ President on Wednesday . The attendance of foreign visitors is numerous enough to frighten Absolutints on their thrones . Among the election affairs going forward , dull enough , for the most part , that at Bath creates some interest—more , perhaps , from the understood views of the candidates than their overt addresses . Mr . SutelHI'e , the Conservative , is understood to decline any pledge to demand a renewal of Protection ; and Captain Scobell , who will « o for a lurge extension of the HuH ' ra t fe , is supposed to he willing to accept the largest : Bath should secure him .
The friends of the Church of Kiiglund , not less than the friends of " religious liberty , " should look after the sons of the Church , whose vagaries are doing it moro mischief than the most systematic opposition eoulil do . For acting in the spirit which moved the Bishop of London , when In ; ollered the uhc of certain plftccH of worship to foreign Protestant divinea -that is to say , lor aeting in a
spirit of Christian fellowship with Protestants not belonging to the Church of England , Mr . Bland has been forced to reaign at Norwich . At ; Whilehaven , by di . siniNfu ' ng a charge of assault , on the Hcore of spiritual provocation , a zealous magistrate lias virtually declurqd from the bench , that the preacher of tho Unitarian doctrines must undergo violence from any member of the Church of England who resents his schism , and must expect no [ Countuy Edition . ] ^
redress . At Lincoln the Church-damaging process of extorting church-rates has been renewed , and has been self-defeated by excess . The frightful accident on the Brighton and Lewes Railway , briefly reported last week , still engages much talk . Possibly it was brought about by an act of boyish folly , which removes it in some degree from the common class of railway accidents . Perhaps an act of childish mischief never had a more frightful result . But the fact is far from certain .
Several incidents illustrate the progress of Association . The congress held by the Leeds Redemption Society not only proves the activity which distinguishes that body , but also prepares a plan for concentrating the scattered Associative efforts . Some such concentration is very necessary . At present considerable numbers of Socialists throughout the country remain ignorant of what is done , even among the regularly-organized societies , still more among out-lying adherents . There is at
present no effective machinery for bringing all those efforts into one view , although there can be no doubt that such a unity would be productive of the greatest advantages . Two advantages alone would repay any effort of the kind . It would fortify the confidence of Socialists , in all sections , by displaying their numbers . By the same process , it would at once draw in a number of adherents , who would avow themselves if they knew the numbers already prepared to stand by them .
The morning journals have been chuckling this week over the real " Message " from the " European Central Democratic Committee . " It was published in the Voix du Proscrit on Saturday , and will be found in our columnH authentically translated . We have no hesitation in saying that it is the most comprehensive and catholic document yet issued by the Committee . The policy which it advocates has our entire concurrence . The aim of the Committee—a Holy Alliance of Nations—and the means proponed to attain it— -Liberty , Association , Labour—have been and are the aim and mqaiiHi of the Lender . The declaration that the
Committee not only do not desire but will combat " anarchy" and " terror , " disarms , in the face of Europe , the Reaction of its choicest weapons . Side by side with the dastardly policy of French reaction , of iron Absolutism of Russia , the servile oppression of Austria , and the : mean treachery of Prussia , how brightly ahiuM the frank and earnest , declarations , tho nohle tmmmouN of these exiles !—not exiled , however , from the confidence of their countlynien .
I he crowned conspiracy at Warsaw and Olinut / . has resulted in a fixed determination on the part of Russia , Austria , and Prussia , to employ their milled forces against all popular convulsions in Europe which may arise in 18 f > ' 2 ; presuming , of courae , that the reactionary measures of the mujority , and tho imperial ambition of Louis Napoleon will , in that year , culminate , and urge France into the vortex of revolution . Tho Mominir Chronicle
distinctly , and the daily journals generally , have announced this imperial resolve . We see an instance of the cordial understanding of the German Kings in the treatment of Bakoonin . He is a Russian subject ; his political offence was participation in the Dresden insurrection . For this offence against the King of Saxony he is sentenced to die by an Austrian court , ana that sentence commuted by the Austrian Emperor into strict imprisonment for life" carcere duro . " Meanwhile , with the consent of France and the Papal Government , Austrian troops
are to occupy the Papal States . Austria occupies Tuscany , Austria occupies Hesse Cassel , Austria occupies Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg , and Austria is about to occupy the Romagna . The preparations for an Absolutist campaign are complete ; and where are the constitutional Governments ? England is isolated , and moreover bound in the bonds of Palmerston diplomacy . Switzerland is cowed , Piedmont overawed , and Belgium necessarily neutral . Where , then , are the avengers of Bakoonin , of the Hungarian exiles , of the Italian bondsmen ?—Waiting .
In France the decision of the bureaux upon the revision question is tantamount to a defeat of the party . To report upon the various propositions for revision they have nominated a commission , which contains four Republicans and two Orleanists , opposed to all the propositions . The remaining nine are of various shades of the Party of Order , in favour of revision ; but for such various reasons that no union can be hoped for : there are three Legitimists , who will only consent to legal revision ; there are three iu favour of revision at any cost ; and there are three of the dubious "
tiersparti . ' The debates in the bureaux were moderate in tone , but not lacking determination . The striking features of the deliberations were the severe attack which M . < le Falloux made upon the Dijon speech , contrasting it ; unfavourably with the policy of the Ministry of which he had made one ; and the meek and < iu : iilin < r reply of M . Leon Faucher on the part of the Government . Another point to be noted is the open declarations of both the extreme parties , as well as of the BonapnrtistN : General Cavai ^ nac stands . sternly l > y the Republic , his hand on his sword ; M . Moulin goes headlong for monarchy ; while M . Litrahifc frankly states
that his object , is the reflection of Louis Napoleon , to be ellccted by ' evading the provisions of the con stitution . Tho revision , it is clear , cannot be carried without h " c'WP d ' etat . " It is clear , also , that the Dijon . speech has estranged the LegitiinistM still further from the JYcNidcnt : they would fight for the Republic rather than tolerate a bastard monarchy : hence , with the Republicans ever on the alert in front , with estranged and outraged Legitimists and disaffected Orleanisls on each flank of the Imperial revision party , a coup d ' etat i « impossible . AIho , in the teeth of the expretw provisions of the constitution , reviHion in impossible . We must not omit to notice the declaration of Montalernbert ,
