      OPISIOSS ON THIS W 0 I 1 K . ' After a loEg silence vi'c again welcome—most heartily welcome—this delightful Authoress , who comes before us with one of those heart-stirring , soul-exciting Tales , that none hut herself can produce . Wlicu wo nay that tho Tmals of Ij « ve equals anything that this fascinating writer has yet produced , we are uttering the liighest praise that can " lie given . ' ' We rise from the perusal of this delightful narrative with feelings of mingled pleasure and jwki . The early pavt of the volume , which details the sad history of Amy Mortimer , excites the sympathy of the reader to a painful denree . The hapless girl , friendless and enthusiustis , forms an inn jl'"de > it union , from which springs a chain of sorrows which the Authoress works into a . narrative of surpassing pathos . Happily as all ultimately ends , we must confess tlv . it vearet for the fate of the unhappy Ann Mortimer is the predominant feeling iu our mind at the close of this most interesting tale . ' Welcome as Hie flowers in spring is a new work by Hannah JIakia Jones . —There is no living Authoress to whom the puhlic is indebted for so large a shave of innocent and moral reading as to Hannah Marin Jones . Finely as her plot is woven , exquisitely as her characters are delineated , this Author / ess never loses eight of the moral which it is her object t * inculcate . The steps of Amy Mortimer—surroiuicted as she is by temptations and diffiuHies , and great as arc some of the errors into which her youth and inexperience lead her—never once depart from the straight path of liuty , and she makes her election to ' do that which ia right , ' although hcv so doing causes the destruction of her own future comfort . '

      « After the deluge of trash—the out pourings ot diseased and prurient imaginations—that has flooded the literature of these latter times , it is truly refreshing to meet with another of those simple , pathetic , and interesting tales , which have given a world-wide reputation to the name of Hannah 11 ,-tria Jones . After a long silence she comes before ns with all her early freshness unimpaired , and in her last work—The Tumls op Love—still manifest all t ! io :-e high qualities of head and heart which have endeared her to her readers , and have elevated her above all other writers , as one whoie every production is replete with truth , gentleness , and sensibility .

      " - -¦ - - ¦'-— ¦ R I « Educational Suff...

      " - - ¦ - - ¦ ' - — ¦ r i « EDUCATIONAL SUFFRAGE , With the closing of the Great Exhibition , signs of political and ministerial vitalit y begin to be visible . The members of the Cabinet drop into their respective offices as the exhibitors commence to clear out of the monster Grlags House . The mental dissipation in which the nation has indulged for the last five months had tho usual effect of all kinds of dissip ation—it unfitted us for work , But tho revel is now ended ; the holiday is over , and we must' get into harness' again . There is work before us , and we must set about doing it in good earnest . It is said that the topic of discussion at the first Cabinet meeting since

      the recess—which was held this week , and lasted three hours—was the proposed new Reform Bill of Lord John Kussell . Whether this is true or not , the time has come for the consideration and settlement of this question out of doors . However desirous the Whigs may be to pare down the measure to the exigencies of party interests , aud to perpetuate tho system of class-misgovermneut by - which they thrive , they are yet amenable to public opinion —the only real ruler in this country—and ifthe people speak plainly and decidedly , the expression of their determination will not fail to have its due effect on the councils in

      Downmg-stroet . We find in several journals the idea of an educational , conjoined with a residential Suffrage , spoken of in terms that imply that to be a favourite scheme of the Premier . On the surface , the proposal appears an exceedingly plausible and proper one , and any one who opposes it , is likely to be set down as being desirous of seeing Ignorance and Anarchy dominate over Intelligence and Order . At the risk of subjecting ourselves to this charge , we must however express a very decided opposition to any such limitation of the Franchise as would be effected by the plan . Not

      that we desire political power to be vested in the hands of those incapable of using it properly , or that we do not fully appreciate the value and advantages that would be derived from the Franchise being exercised by educated and enlightened constituencies , but simply , that such a measure would punish the uneducated for what is their misfortune , not their crime . It would enablo tbe Government , the educated and the ruling classes , to take advantage of their own wrong . Because they have obstinately refused to make

      provisions for instructing the whole people , they demand , as a corollary , that their criminal neglect , or abuse of the powers entrusted to them , shall be followed by the political slavery of the masses , who have been the victims of that neglect . This would be to add one injustice to another , and to create a now system ot ' exclu « sion , which would have an inherent tendency to perpetuate the ignorance , which is made the excuse for refusing tlie ri g hts of citizenshi p to a large portion of the adult males of the country .

      If this or any previous Ministry—if the present or any preceding Parliament—had placed within the roach of tho whole population such means of acquiring instruction , as those possessed by the Citizens of the United States , in their Common Schools—defective though these are in many respects—there might have been some excuse for a franchise upon an educational basis . Those who wilfully abstained from taking advantage of tho instruction provided by the State , for the purpose of enabling them to discharge their duties as citizens , in an intelli gent and

      patriotic spirit , might with some show of justice have been excluded from tho possession of powers they had not fitted themselves to exercise rightly . But we have made no such provision , Instead of that , every renewed attempt on the part of the advocates of unrestricted secular education , to procure for all classes and parties the chanco of acquiring uusectarian instruction , has been resolutely opposed . Ministers have joined with sectaries , and these again with the parties who think they thrive best on popular ignoratlCC , ill denying such educational facilities to the

      masses . It is monstrous to think that , bavin " thus deprived a large portion of tho people of tho chance of being instructed , they should now turn round and make that a reason for inflicting upon them the additional injury of political slavery . There is , however , another and an equally strong objection to this new-fangled qualification . It is quite possible that a man may be able to read and write , and cast accounts which we suppose would be the only test of education applied to voters—without being thereby better qualified for the discharge of political functions than a man who could do none of these things . Political , is a very different from school

      thing education , aud the confounding of the two things shows a misapprehension of the term Education itself by those who profess to advocate it SO highly , aB to malco it the condition of political emancipation , and enfranchisement . No mm i « uneducated . From the very nature of his being everything with which he comes into contact educates him either for good or evil him wiTT 7 f ' eSent roerel - forokto him w th tho tools , or instruments to give < - < toct to the real education of the circum . stances by which he is surrounded , or the drawing out and development of his peculiar acuities , by the actual and practical training he . receives , from tho influences which habituall y operate upon him .

      Keeping this universal princi ple in view wo have no hesitation in saying that , with the exception ofthe people of the United States , there is no people in the world so well educated for the exercise of tho franchise its tho people of Great Britain . The local and munici pal institutions , handed down by our ancestors , constitute so many normal schools and training colleges , in which the people acquire the art aud habit of self-government : add to this , the universal prevalence of sick aiid Imri & l societies , benefit societies , building-

      " - -¦ - - ¦'-— ¦ R I « Educational Suff...

      societies , voluntary associations fiTT ^ every imaginable object - freqC ^ meetings on all topics of interest , and tl , PUbIio tinual recurrence of parochial aad rm *' elections and it will be seen that our T ^ is amply warranted . In other countrl ?!! species of practical training , for the «¦ » ' of the suffrage , ia wholly wanting , ami . 9 mncehas shown that a superior school ,, f pe tion has not been able to supply its A , 3 * No one who knows anything of fc e efr * - and carefully constructed national vTn rate education in Prusuia , will think for a 1 o £ of contrasting it with the incoherent £ quate , and lamentabl y deBcient provisinii ^ T the same objects which exist in this Coul ? Yet the people of Prussia have not 2 ' themselves equally capable of political ^ government . Why ? Because in that ¦ » all Continental countries , with the exc ' onr

      or . Belgium , a bureaucracy has had % Vm \ and uncontrolled management of affairs % people , iu the true sense of the term , have ha nothing to do with the actual business of l Government . Everything has been done 5 them . They have been treated as children and in such matters they have as much pra tical knowledge as children . Even in Fran ™ with all its noble and repeated struggles f ' the establishment of Republican Government we find the principle of centralisation and

      , bureaucracy sufficiently powerful to maintaina thorough despotism under a nominal Republic . In the most ordinary matters , the people have never been permitted to walk alone They are ordered about at tho will of tho Mayor , or the Prefect , ovsome other official , in the most minute transactions of everyday life . Nothing can be done without the mot d ' ordre from the local functionaries ; and these

      again are but the mouths , eyes , aud hands of the great central bureaucrats , who , at Vnvk assume to command the volitions of a whol e nation . This system was established origi . nally for autocratic purposes ; and while it exists , no matter what the nominal form of Government may be , France will be virtually governed by a despotism . It must be swept away root and branch , and the principle of parochial , municipal , and county self-troverament established , before anything like free political action can take place .

      It is to the combination of this power of local self-government with the Federal or associative principle that the astonishing progress , increase , and prosperity of the United States are to be attributed ; and thoueb thwarted in their operation , to a large degree b y the oligarchical . influences of our constitution , it is to the same influences we must attribute the enterprise , energy , wealth , and power of England ,

      Let us hear no more cant , therefore , about this new humbug . If any refutation were needed of the folly or the hypocrisy of thoto who put it forward , it would be found in tllO conduct of the masses , who have thronged Loudon by tens and hundreds of thousands during the World ' s Fair just terminated . Even the Tory journals cannot refrain from breaking out in praise of the orderly , peaceable , and intelligent demeanour of the crowds who , for months , daily flowed in and out of tho magnificent central nave , aud the numerous

      courts ofthe Crystal Palace . The predictions of danger , riot , aud outrage , previous to tho assemblage of such unparrelled multitudes , have been triumphantly falsified . The people have shown the possession of the power of self-control , a love of order , and a respect for property upon a scale unprecedented in tho history of the world , either as to duration or magnitude . Let us hear no more of tho invidious distinctions which crotchot-mongia's are endeavouring to create in the new lWbnnt Bill . AYe have had class government long enough . Tho Keform Act now iu

      existencewas avowedl y framed on tho principle of giving a preponderating power to the lauded interest , It lias utterly failed and broken down . The machinery of Government stands still , and the Legislature finds itself uuablo to move under its operation . In making another change , we must build upon a broader and firmer foundation . AVe must abandon expediencies , and take the solid and enduring ground of principle . For future and for present purposes , there can bo no satisfactory settlement of the question , which is not based upon Mamiood Suffrage .

      ~4fr- Ffrruj,,\< Reception Of Kossuth. E...

      ~ 4 fr- ffrruj ,, \< RECEPTION OF KOSSUTH . Expectation is still on tip-toe as to tllC arrival of Kossuth . The long voyage by Gibraltar , which the refusal to pass through France compelled him to make , has exposed himself anil his sick family to all the discomfort , delay , and danger of such a passage at this stormy season of the year ; and , when Louis NavoLKON ' s tnrn for exile again arrives , he may , and most likely will , be made

      to feel bitterly his violation of tlie laws of hospitality and courtesy to the illustrious Magyar Hero . The Mississippi had wot made its appearance at Gibraltar when tho Iberia left ; and , though it was possible to push on and overtake that steamer at Lisbon , where it generall y makes a stay of ono or two days , yet the probability is ( at the time wo write ) that Kossuth will either be detained till tho next mail , or that his earnest importunities will prevail with tho Commander of the Mississippi to bring him direct to this country .

      It is , however , etisy to comprehend why considerable difficulty should be experienced in accomplishing this latter object . The American Government might not unnaturally regard it in tho light of an ungracious aud uncou :-teous return , for its generous and independent conduct in sending a ship specially for the purpose of conveying Kossrru from the place of his captivity to the shores of the Atlantic Federation . We know hw jealous Americans are of their honour , and how apt

      they are to resent any slight or supp osed slight that may be put upon tlicm ; and tin ? may not unfairly expect that their guest onboard the Mississippi should first pay his respects to the people , whose bold and authoritative interference and aid at a critical moment had , no doubt , very considerable iniluence in inducing the Sultan to disregard alike the cajolery aud the threats of Austria , aud to release the captives . "We can quite understand and sympathise with tho anxiety of Kossuth and his Compatriots to reach

      England , to breathe , for however short a thne , the free air of Liberty , to repose for a brief period , after the prison load has been lif ^ d from their hearts , and to muke such domestic arrangements before departing to a distant continent , as necessity or patriotism may require . But ic is equally obvious that the Commander of tlie Mississipp i will have to keep in mind tho popular opinion of tl : e people of the States—specially sensitive as they ure on all matters of a ' dip lomatic or national nature between themselves aud this

      country . Meanwhile , tho preparations for g iving tl ' Hungarian patriot a triumphant reception * proceed with a most delightful unanimity . Addresses pour into Southampton from "H quarters of tho country , expressive of tr . o most profound sentiments of admiration , sympathy and esteem , to be presold on his ¦ " > ' - i- ' n-al . The Central Committee , which lioh < = its sittings at 10 , Wellington-street , receives nightly the most gratif ying proofs of popular approval , Southwark has spoken out at a borough meeting , called by the Hig h UaiM' ; and Westminster is to assemble on Monday .
