" 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-3 ideci 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 . "—Hwnioldt's Cosmos .

wicked gallop of those gunboats than eyen by the superb procession of the line-ofbattle-ships ; in those moving towers was the linage of supremacy , but in these sea-hornets is the sting of war . We cannot find it in our hearts to echo the snarl of those pure Tory journalists who affect a lofty contempt for the gratification of a " sightseeing rabble . " We do not write in the service of a fa ction , and we are free to feel and express the simple pride of Englishmen ( a pride in whieh there need be no bluster and no bloodthirstiness ) when we say that the spectacle at Spithead was worth a-pilgrimage to see , and a lifetime to remember . It is well that our allies and our
euewhole fleet was illuminated as if by enchantment , and Spithead streamed like some city of the stars all radiant with palaces of light : and wheu from the thrpat 9 of those lusty tars came forth a cheer that might almost have shaken . ^ N " eJson from his glorious sleep . With that sturdy acclamation closed a memorable day . What 5 s th ? moral of that day ? What bat this ? A . giant ' s power is more despicable than impotence-when it is but despicably used . There is the power , what has been the use ? The fault is not ' in that gallant navy , but in the nation that confides its destinies and its principles to men without capacity and without conscience .
The Treaty of Peace has been published by the Daily News , before either the French or English Governments have produced it in due form . It is long , yet it is not complete without appendices , and the work which it chalks out is in some part only begun . It is the exact counterpart of the contest and its results , with one exception—Kars does not remain in the hands of the Russians . Otherwise , it is exactly what we might have expected from the dead results of the war . Marine fortresses are not to be maintained
on the shores of the Black Sea ; the restoration , of parts of the Crimea to Russia is purchased by the surrender of a strip of Bessarabia ; the Danube is placed under a European commission ; the hattee scUeroef giving certain immunities to the Christian subjects of Turkey , is annexed to the treaty as being communicated by the Sultan ; war ships are excluded from the Black Sea ; a separate convention between Russia and Turkey to regulate the force of the two Powers for the simple main-, tenance of order , is another appendix ; to the treaty ; the arrangements for the Aland Islands forming : the subject of a third appendix in the shape of a convention between Russia and the Westerh
Powora . Besides the commissions for the purposes already mentioned for the settlement of the Asiatic boundary , of the Bessarabian boundary , and of the Danube regulations , there is also to be a commission for the settlement of the Principalities , in conjunction with the Sultan . The representatives of the Allies had alrondy considered the futuro Government of the Principalities , in conference with the Ministers of the Sultan , arid w ( J npw have tho memorandum which -was the result of that conference . Its general tendency U to systematise the loci \ l government of Moldavia and Wallachia , and to increase the securities for law . Among the details is a proposition tlmt
fo-T ^ lTGrLANX ) has been sea this week . Not figu--12 / latively , this time , in the Crimean Commission sense : although the recital of the sufferings and misadventures of the Lords spiritual and temporal , and of the faithful and rauchrendurrag Commons might be fitly described by that lively metaphor . But on Wednesday England took to the sea as to
her native element , and , let us hope , caught strength from the maternal wave , like Antaeus from the touch of earth . The truth is , our island race is a race of sailors at heart . Were we Pagans we should pay the highest honours to the sea deities , and our metropolitan cathedral would be the Temple of Neptune . Not being Pagans , we pay sacrifices occasionally to the majestic god , but we love him not the less in his terrors and his smiles
as our national protector and avenger . Just as the Frenchman is a born soldier , your Englishman is a born sailor ; our Gallic friend , for all his brasswox'k and drums , looks at best a Surrey-side theatrical tar . We all love " the service" top , and naval estimates , prepared by the most lavish , or the most incapable Board of Admiralty , excite no jealousy even in Marylebone , no grudging even in
Lambeth . An army , a standing army ( we do not say a British army ) , may become a royal plaything , an aristocratio toy , a satellite of unrighteous authority , a menial to the insolence of office ; but in our wooden walla there is neither faction nor servility , nor corrupt ambition , but a steadfast love of country , a loyalty without alloy , a pure devotion .
Perhaps the Review on Wednesday lacked something of that stirring interest which belonged to the armament of three years ago , when war waa looming , and wo were collecting ourselves for a gigantic contest . But in magnificent array the present Review of r was almost as superior to that of' 53 as thede 6 leof General Codrihgton ' s army the other day may have been to nn ordinary field day in Hyde Park . In August ,
59 , wo were rejoicing in the march of our screw leviathans , no visible aid propelling ; but not only luive wo launched double the number of that fleet since then , but wo Imvc built and equipped for instant service , a swnnn of gunboats , without which the strength of the lino leviathans is a bntium fulmen , except for the purpose of blockudo . Those -who wore at Spithead this week must have been more struck by the
mies should know how the Treaty finds us armed . It is well thatjjve should take stock , as the Times has well said , of our national resources in the face of a Continent only half at peace . It is well that for one day we should forget our party feuds and political denominations , to remember only that we have one country , and one flag . The Review wns , generally speaking , a , decided success . The day , like all the Queen ' s days , was sunny and genial , with a light breeze to gladden the waters and to blow the bunting clear . The
stately line of war-ships , stretching over twelve miles of sea , was scarcely more remarkable than the colossal fleet of private steamers which attested the grandeur of associated enterprise , and the universality of British commerce , and the graceful yachts which , like the thorough-breds at Epsom and Ascot , spoko of a race of gentlemen famous by field and flood . The remarkable points
of the spectacle were the ships opening fire in succession to salute her Majesty 5 the towering procession , of the line-of-battie ships j the attack of tlie gunboats on the forts , and the parting cheer of the thirty thousand gallant fellows as the royal yacht steamed slowly to the van . But to a practised eye , nothing was more admirable than the preoision with which each ship took up l » cr berth again at sunset .
It is evident that our ships wore never bettor handled 5 the old ?• salts " of the last generation have no degenerate successors in the more refined heroes of our day , who beat to action in " white kids . " Wo believe that of tho quarter of a million people who lined the shores of Southsoa , and blackened tho Solont with human freights on Wednesday , only a few thousand remained to seo the most striking spectacle of all , when , at the signal of a rocket , in the twinkling of an eye , the
