The One Idea Which History Exhibits As E...
The one Idea which History exhibits as evermore developing itself into greater distinctness is the Idea of 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 spiritual nature .

Mr. Cobden Has Contributed To The Novelt...
MR . COBDEN has contributed to the novelties of the season , by a new impulse to the national defence movement , in the shape of a pamphlet which , overdoes argument and statistics ^ ¦ f $ ii ^ : Jfofl !

The marriage has not yet made so many alterations as it was expected to do ; but it has sown the . seeds of political mischief—or good . All Louis j Nupoleon's ministers have not yet resigned . Although the Austrian minister is said to be offended at the terms in which , on announcing his marriage ; , Louis Napok-Ain alluded sneeringly to the marriage : of Maria Louisa as sought by Austria , the outraged ambassador has not yot demanded his
passports . But both the alliance and the manner of its announcement can scarely fail to have serious consequences . Louis Napoleon renders his formal announcement , which is printed and posted up in Paris , a nicuium for defying those who have repulsed his advances as a suitor for the hand of a princess , for hinting rebuke to the Senate , and for declaring , in short , that he acts on his own will , without fear of any power , but only with a romantic deference for-the clergy , the army , and the people . It would almost seem as if Louis Napoleon bad broken with the powers of the North ; but if so , with whom is he in alliance ? The annoinu-enient of his projects for establishh convict colon
ing y , „ l-Ve , ich ( Guyana , me followed by the correspoiulenee which shows that the political exiles residing tbeiu iu , 1 ,, 1-anee , are , in some eases successfully , attempting escape , and are seeking protection from the United States of America ; a species of alliance for ( . ' encral ( Ws highly ominous for l'Vench colonization . In another province Louis Napoleon is tfcltinir on better ; his Itoursc has improved in tone , and confidence appears to be reviving . It would appear , that as nothing is to he gained by panic , the Mtoek-dealers are content to let quotations rule as before . [ Country Edition . ]
m ^ mm At home we are not subject to the ups and downs of the French Bourse ; ttye Bank of England has not lowered its discounts ; the substantial prosperity of trade has not been checked ; workmen continue to receive rising wages ; and Birmingham is still busy with warlike as well as pacific manufactures .

Dr . Cumming Las put forward a pleu for the Grand Duke , in thus persecuting subjects sliding from their catholic standards—that he is acting under the direction of his ecclesiastical superiors , in accordance with his own sense of dutv . The nlea shows bow
• i i hopeless it is to effect anything for Protestantism through the Grand Duke , or through intercession of any kind . Protestantism continues to be oppressed individually in Tuscany , and by wholesale in Piedmont , where it exists by wholesale ; and yet if Great Britain actually interferes on thu soil of Italy at all , it is iu maintaining the position which she consented to take in conjunction with France , that of supporting the Pope . If Rosa and Francesco Madiai were surrendered to the prayers of an Mnglish deputation , the act of mercy would do little for Protestantism ; . since the case of the couple is comparatively exceptional . Hut they do not succeed even so far :
new persecutions are a contemptuous defiance of their efforts ; and they consent to persevere in their impotent and insincere agitation rather than run the risk of doing their duty manfully . From Vienna , reports of the most contradictory kind are received . It is said that the Government ih paying unusual deference to Englishmen ; that English travellers will henceforward find grader favour , and this country a franker alliance . On the other hand , it is averred that . Austria is very indignant at our friendliness to France , and is rufher prepared to drop an alliance which is no longer serviceable to her . It may be no ; but , in
i point of fact , the particular interest in Austria tur , ns just now upon the special point of conflictthe district of Montenegro . Turkey has sent a large army of 34 , 000 men . Austria is strengthening her own armed resources upon the spot . Russia is said to be actively supporting the chiefs who are in revolt .

General Godwin , it appears , though without the quickness of youth , cannot say that he is without its imprudence . Detaining Captain Tarleton from carrying out a rapid victory , with a small force , in order that he may make his own approaches in due form and deliberation , he , nevertheless , leaves a small force at I ' egu , within a short distance of the main body of the Burmese army ; and when that is invested with loss , lie serirJs _ t . it relieve if ! i vdidII Vrtriw u ]^ t \ / Ii'iir / . n
back with loss ; and then be finds the necessity of sending a respectable body of troops , It seems that General Godwin ' s ideas lire brought to bear very slowly . Words are facts , writings are events—when they are important . Louis Nnpoleon ' s declaration of marriage is important . An eccentric writer not long since published u book called " Ilactcnus ; " a titled lady in this country puts forth one called " & e . "; and Mr . Cobden produces one called " 17 ! J . 'inud lH . ) . " {; " three letters , in answer to a sermon and two letters by a clergyman , not included in ( lie pamphlet . Mr . Cobden ' s pamphlet is written to show that France
has turned quite pacific , and never could do anything " so barbarous as to commit a war of aggression ; that this country must be now amply provided with defences , since sin ; has paid so much for them—an argument which would prove the sufficiency of Vauxhall slices of ham ; and he advices us to presume the peaceful intentions of France , and to imitate the Quaker gentlemen who took maize and sympathy to British subjects starving on the West ; coast of Ireland during the famine—a hint , perhaps , that if hungry foreigners invade us , we may catch them with a lid-bit in a hat , as runawa y horses are caught .
