The one Idea wnich History exhibits as evermore developing itself into greater distinctness is the Idea of Humanity— the no"ble e ? wS ^ f Ur to r , thro , w dow S- S , barriers erected between men by prejudice and one-sided views ; and , by Betting aside the distinctions ot weugion , Oountry , and . . Colour , to treat the whole Human race as one brotherhood , having one great object—the free development 01 our spiritual nature . —Bwnboltlts Cosmos . ¦ . -.- ¦ ¦¦

LORD PALMERSTON-. perseveres , he does not yield anything of his position on the Danube , and the French Government gives in . This is ascribed to the influence of JVL de Persigny , "who has been over to Compifegne speciully to see the Emperor ; and wlio early in the week was talked of as Foreign Secretary , vice Wauewski , suppressed . The visit of M . de Pebsignt , it is said , has completely restored the * Anglo-French alliance , and has thoroughly defeated the Franco-Russian alliance , ¦ which officially subsides with Walewski .
It wi \ l , however , take some time entirely to dispose of Walkyow ' s policy , for a simple reason . When an American President goes out of office , it has been usual to dismiss a host of officials , and to replace them by another set of men for the four years' term . Now the Government of Europe , under diplomatists , has become scarcely less personal . The Walewski policy having its subordinates throughout the globe , we may expect France to counteract us in every , quarter , until the Walewski men are replaced by Persigny men—if they are to be so .
A Franco-Russian alliance has always been suspected in Persia , has indeed been known ; hut the details arc given to the "world by the Morning Post . M . Bouree , French Minister at Tehran , has , it appears , advised tlie Shall to obey the dictates of Russia in making war upon Herat , and French officers are guiding the operations against the city of Dost Mohammed , whom we have
guaranteed . Here is the Wai . ewski of Tehran acting with Russia to conquer England in Asia ; and it would seem to be necessary to put away the Walewski of Persia and all his men , replacing them by a Peksiqny and all his men , before we can expect to have France with us there . We notice a rather remarkable coincidence , Thepaper exposing this misconduct of Wat-ewski ' s
English , the Emperor is representing himself to the new Russian Ambassador in Paris as an intermediator , softening the conditions of the treaty to Russia , and so far separate from England or counter to her . The Credit Mobilier has , after all , received the concession of the Russian railway—at least such is the latest report , though we have it not yet on the authority of that company . Unquestionably ,
the concession is made to the principal persons in the society , Isaac Pereire and Thubneyssen ; they are associated with Stieglitz , the -Russian capitalist , and they are joined by Hope , of Amsterdam , and Baring , of London , who wei'e to have stood aloof . The Barings , indeed , are considerably mixed up with French entei'prise ; we find their liumes mingled with others of the Credit Mobilier in the Great Northern of France
Railwaj ' , an undertaking which has hitherto paid very well . The concessionaries of the new Russian enterprise boast of having better conditions—the principal of which appear to be the admission of iron into Russia duty free , and a longer time than the concessionaries expected for the issue of the first shares . These arc to amount to 12 , 500 , 000 ? . ; but a term of ten months is allowed for the first issue , which will give the moneyed men of Holland , France , and England plenty of time to operate upon the markets of the world . Unfortunately for them , however , railway shares arc universally
down , particularly in France , where the completion of every branch tends , not to feed the trunk lines , but to eat up the revenue of the trunk lines ; so that the more their business extends the more they lose . The most formidable fact is , that via are to have these great capitalists in the market manoeuvring to get their twelve millions and n . half out of it , and they are to be engaged in that work for any time next year . The very fact must cause a general depression of railway property , and must create a constant mistrust in . the operations of the market .
this constriction will meet us at every turn . The Board of "Works ,-for example , will be calling up money for the execution of the improvements in Sputhwark and Covent-garden—agreed upon this week with Sir Benjamin Hall- even if the great drainage improvement should be delayed . The money , of course , will be forthcoming for the street' connecting all the bridges , and the street connecting Covent-garden with the Piccadilly line ; but even the small sum required for those purposes must be at the momem asked for in the market . We know how the rate-collector is
regarded when he visits the poor ratepayer ; evsry householder knows at the present day how the tradesmen are sending in their bills ; the tradesmen know too well how slowly come in the answers to those bills ; and they know how , if they want accommodation in the City , the Bank will give it only to the aristocracy of commerce at 7 per cent ., and they can scarcely hope to get it any longer at 8 per cent . Every man is solvent , is perhaps flourishing , on Ids boohs ; but ' where the devil is the cash to come from ? ' And it is at this time that we have agents of the "Napoleonic Credit Mobilier threatening the market with a llussian invasion !
Let the reader glance at the two important truths established by the series of public events which we have already summed up , and he will perceive that they are , first , the complete appropriation of England ' s strength and resources by diplomatic gentlemen , who conduct affairs in association-with , gentlemen of their own class on the Continent ; and , secondly , the placing of the finance of Europe in the hands of a diplomacy of money—a small party of men wielding millions , who can easily combine together on tlie principle of Isaac Pereire ' s ' socialism of capitals . ' We turn , then , to the public guardians of this country—our Members of Parliament—and ask what they are doing to enforce the public interests . We have several of them making statements to their constituents ; but not one which is enouncing any principle by which a control can be recovered for the Commons of this country over the
It comes , too , at a time when throughout all Europe there is a derangement of the currency ; wlien our Bank of England is constricting its accommodations , in point of time and in point of interest ; while financiers are discussing the necessity of changing the regulations of the Bank ; while the French Government is talking of buying up the railways ; and while , in short , the finance of Europe is tinder that formidable cloud which is oflicinlly called ' consideration . ' We need scarcely point out the manner in which
"Executive of this country . Mr . ApsleyTeulatt in Southward , and Mr . George It adfield in ^ iel | fcld , are reporting to their constitue ^ ' -yorjr .
