"The One Idea Which History Exaibits As ...
"The one Idea which History exaibits as evermore developing itself into greater distinctness ia the Idea ot Humanity—the noble endeavour to throw down all the barriers erected between men by prejudice and one-sided views ; and by setting aside the distinctions of Religion , Country , and Colour , to treat the whole Human race as one brotherhood , having one great object—the free development of our 3 Diritual nature . "—Homboldt ' s Cosmos .

Omnibuses No Longer Wait By The Hundred ...
Omnibuses no longer wait by the hundred at Prince ' s- # ate , cabs are again scattered ; the Exposition is over . The closing ceremony was the least worthy part of the whole summer ' s spectacle ; the fend wracrowned the work . The delivery of prizes jvhich had so little of the discriminatory in them as to confound Monti ' s Eve with a host of works that Ivill be forgotten , could have in it little to impress the bystaodec j ika delivery of a prayer , the words bf which were only tb be learned afterwards by the reader of the papers , could not engage the religious
feelings of the concourse—you could not share in what you did not know anything about . The most impressive phenomenon was the aspect of the papers next day—flooded with lists of the prizeholders . The public presence in the Expop ition ended glor iously on Saturday , with a brilliant pay and a full assemblage ; the dismal weather and pay ceremony of Wednesday formed an anti-climax . Put no anti-climax could destroy the work of the Exposition itself .
I Kossuth is already the object that eclipses the Crystal Palace in the public regard . The possibilit y of bis arrival has been watched with daily Micitude . In spite of systematic attempts to Divert the English people by calumnious stories Against him , constructed with laborious painstaking , | ttort 8 wearing a studied appearance of carelessness j-efforts which find aid in our Ministerial jourlals — the public continues to manifest the

year ending April 30 , 1851 , in ten unions ? What is it to us that out of £ 295 , 000 expended in these unions , only £ 172 , 000 was actually spent to feed , and shelter , and clothe the starving , and the rest expended Heaven knows how ? You must pay down on the nail . Such is virtually the- language of the Whig Premier . It is unjust , unmerciful , ungenerous , and unwise ; true , but it is pure Whiggism ! Turning again nearer home we find some small excitement on the surface respecting the promised Reform Bill . The rumour is that Manchester is to
speak out and instruct Lord John Russell in his duty . Is this to be a counter movement or an auxiliary movement to that of the National Reform Association ? It is time somebody spoke . At present we are all in the dark ; groping among unofficial speculations . The public mind is astray , and no leader comes forward able to guide it . Apropos of Reform : venerable Joseph Hume has
> een talking at Edinburgh on the subject , and the Scotsman , looking down loftily upon the member for Montrose , lectures him and all who want to get at a real suffrage . With a great air of superior wisdom , the journal of modern Athens talks disdainfully of those who want to lower the suffrage by merely increasing the numbers . What does this mean ? Can the suffrage be lower than it is at St . Alban ' s and Harwich ? The Scotsman would
extend—that is the polite word—the suffrage , not lower it . " Convey the wise call it . " How will sturdy Scotland like a dilettante constituency , such as that proposed by the pearl-white Liberal Scotsman f Whilst gentle Whig organs are tunefully preaching fuith in Whig reforms , and household suffrage looms in the horizon of next session , as the reward of our feeble agitations , France awakes from the lethargy of reaction ; and her Prince President , seeing the tide of popularity ebbing away , throws himself once more upon the broad waves of Universal Suffrage . Whether they will bear him into the haven of reelection where he
would be , in another question . Revision or no revision , reelection or rejection , it matters not . A Democratic assembly elected by Universal Suffrage , will repair the disasters and the disgraces of three wasted yearn . M . Louis Napoleon Bonaparte ban a bold game to pluy ; he can no longer hesitate between the factions and the People . The present Assembly will vote the abrogation ; what matters one more
stultification to the Party of Order r Who are to form the new Ministry ? Any change is better than the last . A Bonapartist Ministry is impracticable , even if the materials exiwt . Elysean fusions aro now scattered to the wiiulu . The two principles of hereditary and national sovereignty are face to face . A broad MiniHtry of thi ; People , com - posed of new men , in the necessity of thu moment . There in one name which means initiative , independence , Htrength of will , clearness of purpose , comprohcn « ivo measures , tho power to grapple with
all problems : energetic practical reforms ; fearless extirpation of abuses ; reduction of the budget , of the army , of taxation : thorough social reconstruction ; generous and enlightened democracy ; war to pauperism and ignorance ; the only man to conceive and execute this programme is the man of all others the most "impossible "—to theBourse , to diplomacy , and to the greybeards of political routine . The only man capable of building up a true fabric of order and liberty is Emile de Girardin . He is neither a formalist , nor ( that silliest of parodies ) a classical Republican . He is not a theoretical , but a practical , Socialist .
Religious liberty was a conquest of the Revolution . In the last few days Walter Scott and Robinson Crusoe have been condemned as pernicious and dangerous books by the Bishop of Lucon . He is one of those men who would clap an extinguisher on the sun , in majorem Dei gloriam . But what is the crime of poor Friday , may he asked ? He learned to read his Bible ! A grave offence in the sight of Holy Church . Think of this attempt at obscurantism on the very eve of the restoration of universal suffrage !
Russia , and the Diet of Frankfort , have replied to Palmerston ' s present of Mr . Gladstone ' s pamphlets with a severe rebuke for such an impertinent intrusion . Palmerston lms done a bold and a liberal act , and can well afford to pocket the affront ! He is such an old offender I From Naples comes another voice of wailing , from twenty-one priests , starving and rotting in the dungeons of a Christian King . Their crime ( a rare one among priests ) was a love of freedom . La Presse has brought a cloud of testimony , to prove how leniently Mr . Gladstone judged the atrocities of the " best of Monarchic "
Ihe important meeting of merchants and persons interested in Eastern trade at the London Tavern , suggests many reflections . It is an event . Anxious as we are for the extension and multiplication of means of transit , and the opening up of new routes for commerce , we cannot witness , without regret , the blind way in which men , generally sagacious , consent to work in the dark . Has it occurred to the leaders of the meeting that no railway extension on the de . se rt <> t " Suez could compensate to Knglmid for the destruction of Turkey ? la it not possible that , in Kecking railway extension , they may get , as a net result ., Russian extension instead ?
Two instances of bravery , neither unplemintf we chronicle this week . Jules ( Jerard , the indefatigable African Lion Jlnnfer , has at length killed the old lion who . so shamelessly ran iivv . iy from him last year . H <» t * ' pleafiantcr picture is that of brave Alro . Moore on t'ie wreck of the Owen ( Jlendowor , working at the pumps and sustaining her courage within the very jaws of the « en . < irace-fill , too , is her hearty gratitude . Yes ; courage and thankfulness arc immortal .
