The advancement of the civilised ivorld in material comfort, in arte, sciences, education, in efforts at im proved law-making, has as yet brought no rest to mankind at large. The old feuds between tribe and tribo, country and country, are giving place to ware of words and deeds between class and class, betweeuoneinterest and another. The tendency of the age, with its rapid means of intercourse and com munication, has indeed been to draw together the peoples of the world, making them less inclined to cut each otnur's throats upon somo trifling pre text, but this communication has also given free currency to those snbver-. sive and wild theories, which, carried into practice, can only end in the up setting of the practical working ties between energy, capital, and labour. The relation of mum to tuum, em u bodied in the Ten Commandments and the earliest laws of any state rising from B;vagedora, have received a rude shock of late years from the advance ment of these theories, which are based on the assumption that legisla tion can interfere with the rights of property.
