      deprived of the , with ut any of those guarantees and judicial forms , ensur-• tiff ft fair ' ' -trial , which are recognised as essential throug hout all . civilized Europe . In this case , England lias to decide a very important question—whether * amely , it is only within her own territorial boundaries that 3 he guarantees to her subjects free trial , public indicfcmenC public examination of witnesses , the right f confronthig accusers , and openly tnaking defence ;

      all those p rivileges , m shorty which secure men against fraudulent and judicial assassination : or whether she binds these rights as clothing rpitnd the persons of her subjects , wherever they go- ^ incotporates them , as it were with their very denomination as Englishmen—so that let them wander where they will over the globe , and penetrate the most lawless arid despotic regions of ifc they shall still travel in the shelter of a power emanating from their native island ? How English legists may answer this question we do not know : we know how a Roman would have answered it . But , apart

      from a question so large and abstract , there is another reflection suggested by this . ca § e , of Mr . Murray . There was > tiin § , and tliat not loiig ago , when Rome spontaneously would have granted to any accused Englishman a trial as fair as he tibuld have had in England itself . Under the brief but glorious Roman Republic of 1848-9 , judicial secresy , inquisitorial trial , arbitrary imprisonment , and all the other mouldy constituents of a hideous , system of Jesuit conspiracy against human liberty of thought and action , Were swiftly and almost instantaneously swept away . For a brief period there was promise , as regards civil institutions , of a little

      England in the heart of Italy : the sun of a new day shone over Rome . And what did We do then ? This is what we did—we allowed , nay we encouraged , France and Austria to lift the Pope hack from Gaefca io Rome ; and noBOpner was this done than the spqt of sunshine was overclouded—the incipient England arising in Central Italy was destroyed—the spiders and reptiles crept back to re-spin the web of despotism , and re-open the subterranean labyrinth' of secreciesand . Rome became what we now see it . It is fitting that England should have the benefit of her own work . —Monthly Record of the Friends of Italy .

      The Idbaii MoDEBKizEp .- —This year $ Er , Ba % takes no very lofty ground ; his " Infant Bacchus , a portrait , " does not hid high for art . Next year we shall probably have " Jupiter , a portrait of John Smith , Esq . ; " or " Mars , a portrait of Major Jones /' The idea of making a Bacchus and a portrait at the same time , is as good a specimen of modern ideas of the Greek ideal as we have encountered for a considerable time . —Morning Chronicle .

      Rank . —Apropos to this subject , at n later date I had the pleasure of making the ocular acquaintance of a lady in a neighbouring colony , whp , on some question of female precedence , did undoubtedly assert that she was " the rankest lady present !"— -Our Antipodes , by Coionbi , Mundy .
