Feel Had A Great Dinner At Merchant Tail...
Feel had a great dinner at Merchant Tailors ' - hall , became a great Minister , and established Free Trade : Lord Stanley has a great dinner at Merchant Tailors ' -hall , is to become a great Minister , and will undo Free Trade—such is the anticipated sequence . But it won't do . The dinner was irreproachable , and the company numerous and " distinguished , " but the effect is flat and not inspiriting . . Look at the men , their bearing , their pphoy ,. ' The policy , iF we make it out , is moderate iftnvKV § 8 * inwwrtK , as a source of revenue , with a
agitators within the Church not to disturb its quiet The address can scarcely have any effect—except to encourage agitators ; just as the cry of the old London watchmen used to tell the marauders of the night that all honest people were asleep except the utterer of that toothless ejaculation . The perplexed condition of English Churchmen who wish to live quietly was elaborately demonstrated in the House of Lords on Thursday evening . The Duke of Richmond brought forward a grievance complained of by those Dissenters who leave the Church and yet demand a share of its privileges . The culprit in the present instance was the
incumbent of St . Peter's , Chichester , who refused to read the bur ^ t service over the grave of a Dissenting iWotlWOTwen asked to do so . All who took pare in the discussion lamented the present state of the ecclesiastical laws , but no one ventured to hint that any reform is possible . The Bishop of Chichetter admits that it i 3 very awkward for a clergyman to be asked to read the burial service over the grave of a man who may have died in a fit of delirium tremens , or has taken away his life . Many clergymen , he says , must feel their consciences severely taxed when called upon in such cases to say that they commit the body to the ground "in the sure and certain hope of resurrection to eternal life . " But the law is
im-Lord Dudley Stuart and Mr . Osborne set an example of confiding in Lord John ! Amazing credulity . People , however , have been proud to believe in Joanna Southcote ; and not a few Liberals supported Mr . Osborne . Mr . King ' s supporters were reduced from a hundred to eightythree , his opponents increased to 299 ; so that Ministers succeeded in blocking out a reform , such as it was , by the shadowy promise of one which they will not carry .
So it is with economy . The Whigs are always economical in theory—but not in office . Their Army Estimates , like their Navy Estimates , are subjected to fanciful " redptftipe " here and there ; but the {^ ft & K &^ tfpJ ^ B ^ ana in the ^ colonies , the practice of siding with foreign Governments which irfenace our political system rather than with foreign peoples—these , like the useless African squadron , are causes of our immense military expense ; but the Whigs leave them untouched ; and the estimates are annually voted , with the annual complaints of Mr . Hume and his friends .
The " foreign refugees in London" have been denounced to the Commons by Mr . Stuart Wortley , and Ministers have replied in that cringing , craven style which is the present fashion in foreign affuirs . Sir George Grey stated that the foreign leaders in England are known and watched ; and he uttered a word of threatful reproachful warning to them that they should not here engage in " plots . " What nonsense this is ! If it so please them , they have a right to plot . Foreign countries have not been so very squeamish towards our own : France
perative and must be obeyed . This will hardly go down at Oxford . Nottingham is getting up a Protestant aggression on Rome—a mission to convert the Catholics on the Seven Hills ! Miss Talbot ' s case is settled . It turns out that her conventual seclusion was complicated with some marriage to which she was not averse , and the law proceedings will result , at least , in securing her , personally , freedom of choice . Much unfair use is made of discrepancies between the religious persons involved ; but it is quite evident that the whole truth has not come out ; but the lawyers have taken their usual licence .
shielded the Pretender to the English throne ; Russia sent emissaries to Herat ; Holland has negotiated with the Anglo-Dutch at the Cape ; Russiu and Greece are said to have tampered with the Ionian States , —alien powers all , menacing British interests , British territory , the British power . But the exiled patriots of Italy or of Germany have a right to struggle for their national liberty—the same right which we have conceded to Englishmen in recognising the Orange dynasty
The foreign news is flut . The Moniteur has been on the eve of announcing a new Ministry for the last fortnight . It lias at last informed the world that all efforts to that effect have proved unavailing . The part y of order are taking strenuous measures to demolish the last remnants of Socialism . The Hotel de Ville in Paris is swarming with armed men , and has the appearance of fortified barracks . The King of Prunsia has sent to Vienna one of those diplomatic notes that go by the name of ultimaturns . Which of the two Powers , however , is really to have the last word does not as yet appear . The Dresden conferences are virtually at an end ; the conclusion bdinjf pretty much the ; same as as-HCinblieH ami congresses came to at Frankfort before this , i . e ., nothing .
and its successors . England is not endangered because Mazzini makes progress towards orgunizing ; on the contrary , the interests of the English People are advanced by the extension of popular power on the Continent . When an English Minister trims between our hide pendence and a servile admission of Austria ' s right to make « . % " the tools of her despotism , he is a traitor to the principles that established the Brunswick dynasty on the English throne , a traitor to the nation whotte feeling he misrepresents .
The Bishops have for Home time btu ; n known to have had under consideration a declaratory addrcHM uu the subject of that Puseyitiin which excited the real part of the Protestant alarm during the lute Anti-Papal ferment : the address h now out ; and it proves to be a most milk-and-water request to
The Pope ban Ihhui rid of one of Ins most formidable unctnicti . H Passatore has been killed in u Hkirininh with Roman genadanncs . At Rome , as well as at Naples , passports are denied to travellers curious to Nee tlio London Exhibition .
* mmmQMw ^ mmm ^ i * m •*& * me ™ raingatwn of Free Trade , vexatious to Liberals and unsatisfactory to farmers' " friends . " But , even if the policy were the most sagacious and strenuous in the world , where are the men to carry it out ? Lord Stanley confessed , but a few weeks back , that he had only "o ? i experienced man towards a Cabinet : has he been able to multiply that one in
the interval ? Surely not ; for we see that he is still furnished with no better second than the Duke of Richmond . Lord Stanley spoke with a confident manner , but not with the language indicating any certainty of success ; he announced no new organization of party ; his only change of tone was increased contempt of the Whigs , and abandonment of forbearance towards them . The Duke of
Richmond was the same impersonation of one long , earnest platitude that has immortalized No . 17 , New Bond-street . But the bearing of Mr . Disraeli was the most remarkable : he made , probably , the dullest and slightest speech that over fell from his lips ; spoke of himself as " one of the rank and file of the Commons / ' not as a leader . Is this the sulky modesty of a man who has been underrated by his colleagues , and told to know his place , and so revenges himself by ultra-abasement
when they ask his help—as Shylock reviles himself when asked to help the haughty noble merchant ? It looks very like it . The party is ill-manned ; it has not a policy worth attention ; Lord Stanley , no longer young , displays no new resources ; his sole opportunity is the utter nullity of Ministers—the gnoat of a Cabinet which occupies the Heat of power without filling it . Yet Lord Stanley can do one service to his country ; he can despatch the useless , obstructive Whigs .
Yes , useless and obstructive . Look at their conduet in the little reforms proposed by Sir William Clay and Mr . Locke King . Sir William would let "compound householder , " videlicet lodger , pay Iun allure of the landlords rates , and so make good his own vote . Lord John objected that it would disturb the text of the Reform Bill—that nacred record I and the Commons supported the Premier . Mr . Locke King proceeded with his bill to extend the £ lo borough franchise to counties ; Lord John renewed his promise of a Reform Bill hereafter : [ Country- Edition . ]
