The United States are fast becoming Disunited, and Italy, that forcenturies has been disunited, is rapidly growing United. Let us hopethat Italy, not following the mad example of America, will, when sheis One, never think again of falling to.

This is, after all, no such wonderful concession. But trifling as itmay be, great objections have been made to it. A leading Free KirkDoctor, whose name is Dr. Begg, has given notice of a motion in theEdinburgh Presbytery for a petition against the Sunday sale of foodand physic, which is sought to be obtained.
