Munistjiuis Continue To Protifc Through ...
MUNISTJiUiS continue to protifc through the opening made for them-by the differences in the Liberal party ; but it is luore evident than ever that their tenure only subsists so long as those differences continue , unless the Liberal leaders should allow Lord Derm ' s Government time enough to weed itself entirely of its old principles , its stubborn members / and "become what it is almost already , n Reform Cabinet . This Tvcelc it lias made considerable progress in that direction , standing forward as the champion of Liberal principles abroad and at home , while on other subjects it continues its con venicnt neutrality . Thus , it is persevering " \ vitl its Indian legislation as fust as it is permitted lyj the ' Conflict of parties . It must be confessed that upon the whole ., the East India Company 1 ms not been very happy in its selection of defenders Mr . A . YKTOH has been the principal auxiliary or' thi Company ; this week moving , on the second of the Indian resolutions , an amendment suggesting rathe a peculiar compromise . He proposed that the ncv Council should consist of twelve members to he selected from the present Court of Directors , on to retire every year ; a plan which would identif the new Councillors with the old Court of Dircc tors , and would obviously complete the transfc very gradually in the lapse of twelve years . 1 very small proportion of the members , howcvci assented to tbat pioposa . 1 . The stoutest couflic took place upon the question , What , should be th real powers of the Minister , and his title , —whethe he should be President of a Board or a Secretary c State ? Lord Falmekston hinting his decided pr < ference for the president form , and Mr . Diskae ] adjourning progress in order that the Oppositio might have a longer time . to settle the umlt ( a mnyre . The Cagliavi affair has remained open long cnoug to leave Ministers an opportunity of taking up really liberal position , and they have not neglectc the advantage . Lord Matvmksbuiu ' s first fencin answers to Count Cavour , have been reconsidered his last despatch , not yet published , lie sa ; has given complete satisfaction to the Ssinlinii Minister , who has pledged himself to abide by tl advice of England . That advice consisted urging the Sardinian Government not to take wi like measures should Naples refuse the demand f the restitution of the ship , but to demand tlio ink mediation of a third stale , England in the mca
. while lending its moral support to the claim . The Tory Government , therefore , lias taken a step in advance of the late Liberal Government , and so far , no doubt / it has strengthened itself with the public at large . Mr . -Gladstone has made a decidedly popular move in demanding the union of the Danubian . Principalities ; hat he has been beaten by Ministers . i We shall see how . His move was really directed l against the policy of Lord Pamerstox , and it is l to a certain' extent , too late . His argument was , that the Paris Conference had referred the question of organization to the Principalities themselves ; : that in the Divans elected for that purpose the Prin-- cipalitics had demanded vuiion . " Yes , " answered l Lord Palmkhstox , " but on a . particular condition 1 —xmion under a foreign prince . " They did so be-, cause the two provinces cannot agree in self-go' vemment ; and although they were consulted as to . their internal organization , the Conference was not 2 bound by the reply of the Principalities on any } question regulating their relation wit It Turkey . r Tlie object of the war , the instructions of the v Conference , and the proceedings of that body , i all pledge the several Governments , ami especially c the Western Powers , to maintain the integrity oi ' y the Ottoman Empire , which the establishment of :- an independent state under a foreign prince would r be the first step to break down . Mr . Gladstone ' s V proposal , therefore , is incompatible with the very ob-. " , jeet of the war , the Conference , the Treaty , and the : t whole policy of the Western Powers . England has e not deserted France , as Mr . Gladstone said , hut : r has convinced her ; on its own grounds the reply is ) f complete ; it amounts to saying that the real ques-2- tion of the Principalities , which is in some respects li much higher than that of Turkey or Russia , is the > n question of the future . And here we lind Mr . 3 r Gxadstonk standing with Mr . Hokuuck and Lord Joitn Russell far in advance of tlio two official ; h . parties . Meanwhile , however , by help of Lord a Palmehston , IUmisters beat Mr . Gladstonk ami id his allies with a large majority , ig In another course the Government , has become L ; positively reforming . The Home Secretary has ys cordially agreed to Mr . Lockk King ' s bill to m aholish the qualification for Members of Parliaie niont , a " great sham , " says Mr . Wam'oi . k . lie lias in also promised a revision of the Corrupt , Practices ir- lUU , with a hint that the House of Commons will or he invited to legalize payment , of Imvelling ex-• s- j muses for voters ; and if Mr . Caihi > has failed hi n obtaining- leave to introduce a Bill for assimilating
the Scotch franchise to that of England with the forty-shilling freehold , the subject is left to be decided by public opinion . And Lord Derby says the marriage with a deceased wife ' s sister must be . deferred ; although Lord Buiri * has carried the second reading of his bill in the Commons by a net majority of 40 . A . very important movement was made by Lord Ebtjry , who asked in the Peers for a Royal Commission to revise the Liturg }' . The reasons for the reform are obvious—there is much in the Liturgy which society has outgrown ; there arc changes of time ; words no longer Lave the same meaning that they had when- the text was comj ^ osed ; hence , stillness , barrenness , monotony , oddity , —all of them influences injurious to religious feeling . A host of Prelates , including the most distinguished of our Church , both in rank and intellect , from Canterbury to Dublin , agree that the Liturgy needs reform . Yet Lord Ebuiiy was told in the House of Lords that the subject must not be opened . You will endanger rights venerated by the people , said one Bishop ; you will begin alterations of -which we cannot sec the end , said another ; you are trenching upon the province of Convocation , said a third ; it won ' t do to criticize the merits and demerits of the Liturgy , said Lord Deivby . It is needless to point out the serious confessions involved in these " difficulties " that obstruct improvement admitted to be desirable . In deference to them , Lord Eivuiiy withdrew his motion . Those who are loading the Church , as clergymen or legislators , flinch from the labour which is necessary to reconcile the Church of England to the people of England . They are not so thin-skinned , so fickle , or so uninventive when it is a question of completing the control of the Ecclesiastical Commission over episcopal and capitular property ; and two bills for that purpose , introduced by Lord Dkiuiy and the Duke of M . viiLttonouGii , arc handed over to a Select Committee . Another bill carries out a great social improvement—it is the measure for bringing unencumbered estates under the operation of the Encumbered Estates Court in Ireland , rendering that court at the same time more permanent and complete . The ell'eci , is , that a judicial title will he given to all property in Ireland on its stile or l . iviiisl ' ur . There is hut one reason why the snmc amendment , is not , introduced here . The load of encumbrances sits ¦ heavy on the soil of almost every English landi owner , and he as little dares open Iho question as ' Iso dares balance his steward ' s books . . , , , ¦ : r ; ' '¦ . / " ) i ..
