    In particularly peaceful times it would be of no consequence if tin process of clianjrc took place by degrees , but tinder present ' circumstances , whan Prussia more than ever requires ^ thoroughly Liberal and daring-. policy the Upper I louse , as now . constituted , is '; i calamity-which' can only ' be . gut rid of by sharp measure .- ? . 1 > j the nomination of the -new rnembor . s the prospects for ilienexfc session are not improved , aiifl the real solution of . the question is deferred till-the following session . It is a hint from the : Crown that the Government is'determined to persist in the course ithas adopted , and that the means arc not -wanting to break down every resist-. mice . About two years a . ao one of your correspondents writing from Hamburg , gave a brief account of apolitical agitation existing in that city . By an official announcement , dated 28 th ulb ., this dispute between the Burgerschaft , or representative assembly , ' and the senate , has been terminated by an arrangement ^ apparently satisfactory to the popular paTty , if not to the senate . The causes which led to this agitation are of too local a nature to render a detailed explication . interesting or useful ; and it will be sufficient to observe , that the victory which has been gained by the-representative , assembly is a liberal and . progressive one ; that thereby , the little cosmopolitan republic is restored to that political life and activity for which it was distinguished prior to 1850 , above all other states of geographical Germany . I am informed by a well-known German traveller connected with Hamburg , that the agitation for the reform or restoration of self-government was commenced , and the successful termination obtained chit-fly by the English element in ¦ tho city . The population of Hamburg is composed' of Germans , Israelites , and English , with a good . sprinkling of other nations , the three mentione . l , however , beuring a certain balancing i > roportion to one another . Tho two first being naturally moneymaking and indifferent to politics , and at the same time somewhat inimical to each , other , "were every Av ; vy disposed to submit to any kind of laws , and' to leave tho government entirely in the hands of the-senate , which , since the military occupation bv the Austrians , had ruled with -almost arbitrary sway . The English , if Tarn , correctly informed , have united the liberal Germans and . Israelites , and , combined with them , have agitated against the oligarehic . il tendencies of -the spnate for the last two years . The object sought , namely , the . participation of all classes in the government of the republic , has been gained . This result maybe considered as . a defeat to Austria , the . feudalists of Prussia , and the reactionary middle states , who regard with a very jealous eye those little oases of independence , liberty , contentment , and economical selfgovernment—the republics of Bremen , Hamburg , and Lubeck .

' Thus we Ijiive elaborate articles on " The ( . Organisation of Italy , " and " Our National Defences , " "The Antii quiry of the Human Kace , " and " Neo-Christ ' ianity .

" Robert Owen , " "Tlie North American Indians , " and " Eussia , Present mid Future . " From tho artiele on " Tlio Organisation of Italy , " we select the following extracts : — "It is a most pleasing cirj eumstanco to see Die interest taken by England in thq struggles of j Ital y ¦ against temporal' and sjiiritual -oppression , testified to by the j iiss'istauec- in inon : .-v sen't to Garibaldi , by the graceful sympathy of our j count ryw . Vmeii for ' . his wounded soldiers , and by the taking of service ! under his baimer by English oillcors ; for , in our ppiiiijii , this struggle J i . snot , only ono of the most interesting of -modern times , but al = o otic of j the . most important as regards tho civilisation and . progress of the World ; It is tiie war of the future . against Xhv past . Italy fights for existence , ' for-liberty , for the right •' of speech and aelion . She promulgates no wild theories , her . constitutional banner 1 . -5 held aloft by a ¦ ¦ chivalrous monarch , heir to the oldest reigning house in Europe , surrounded by counsellors belonging to the highest aristocracy / ,: whose private wealth av . d station warrant them against all suspicion of entcr-¦ taiiiing ultra-democratic bpiilions ; and while the aiinics ivre composed j of ihimi born to ease ,. wlio exchange all the comforts of hojne for the j ha : 'd .-- ' up 3 of a camp , that each may boast he has had ' u share in securing tire triumph of the Italian idea , her people suddenly freed from the trammels of despotism , have sot a rare example of Belf-control and of moderation even towards the instruments of the tyninny they abhorred . Against Italy we see arrayed the powers of the niedieYicl worldsa Pope and his cardinals , armed with threats of excommunication in this worldj and eternal death in the next , backed by hireling troojw g-. ithered from every part of 'ISii-ropo by promises of large bounty on cartli and paradise hereafter , and a foreign sovereign with mercenary armies , representing the might of brnto force , all contending for ' right divin ' o to govern wrong , ' If Italy succeed in her aspirations , wo shall see a nation of twenty-six millions of most intelligent men regenerated by Iho baptism of fire , in possession of a most fert le country , with near 3 , 000 miles of seaboard , and with pores in which the navies of tho world might rido in safety , and , above all , governed by constitutional maxims , added to the roll of JSiiropcan States . Can it . bo doubted that such a kingdom , 011 tho borders of the Moditerraneun , would bo a most valuable ally for England ? Common principles of liberty would place It . ly on our side ia European complications ; liei- ( loots might bo uf the utmost assistance in war , while , lier commerce woidd no less add to our prosperity in peace , If , on tlio other hand , Italy bo worsted in tho struggle , things cannot return oven to tho point at wliiolijthey stood t woyimi'sngo . As JM . Grandguillot truly said in tho Cons'ilutionnel a short tiino liiueo , Italy must bo entirely fi'CQ , or Au . strin rule from ^ Turin . to Messina , nnd , we may add , with Austria tho Pope .
