ch was made by a foreign gentleman, introduced as a
friend of M. MAZZINI, and which concluded thus:--

"Revolution was called disorder. It might be so, but the only way to
finish with disorder was to make revolution.--(_Cheers._) Therefore
it was that he wished for revolution, though its permanent success
involved the sad necessity of the guillotine." (_Great cheering._)

These daring words were uttered, not in the slummish purlieus of the
Square of Leicester, but at the splendid Rooms of that of Hanover. How
proud and glad we ought to feel of our freedom of utterance, considering
that at a place of fashionable resort, in an aristocratic neighbourhood,
an individual is permitted to speak out thus: declaring himself boldly
on the side of revolution and the guillotine!

Nevertheless, for the cause of European liberty, it is a pity that this
gentleman had not either had his mouth stopped by the spontaneous action
of the muscles which serve to close that orifice, or shut up by cries of
"No, no!" substituted for the "great cheering" which greeted his avowal
in regard to revolutionism and decapitation. The use and applause of
such language must estrange all friends of freedom except those who are
mad. The exiles that indulge in it ought not, perhaps, to be deprived of
an asylum, but they ought to be restricted to one in which they can be
looked after. It is bad enough when patriots are consigned to the halter
by despots, but it is worse when, having rope given them, they use it to
hang themselves. The EMPERORS OF RUSSIA and AUSTRIA are much obliged to
those who talk like this foreign gentleman. The revolution contemplated
by M. MAZZINI is another thing, we hope, than that which is advocated by
his indiscreet friend, and to "make" which will, in truth, be a certain
"way to finish with disorder."

TABLE TURNING AND TRUE PIETY.

A Clergyman, the REV. R. W. DIBDIN, M.A., has published a Lecture
recently delivered by him at the Music Hall, Store Street, upon Table
Turning, which he ascribes to "Satanic Agency," animadverting on all who
differ with him on the subject; among others, on ourselves. Referring to
this periodical he is pleased to say,

"I will only remark that it is conspicuous (like the _Times_
newspaper, which it echoes), for its _consistent enmity to true
piety_;--its advocacy of Sabbath desecration in the Sydenham
Exhibition, and the Sun
