At^Acks "Being Levelled Ajb Its Premier....
at ^ acKS "being levelled ajb its Premier . In the midst of the storm , "wbat account has Government given of itself ? Noticing these attacks , iiot understanding them , the public is beginning to feel that vague inarticulate uneasiness which precedes a distinct want , and presently we muy expect to hear a demand , to be told—What is the matter ?
of all OUR PRESENT PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT . A Ministry which has excited more hopes and conciliated moce trust than most G-overnments that we have liad for some time ^ has gradually become the object , not of mistrust , but of attack . The most violent assaults are made upon the most conspicuous members of the 3 M 3 nistry ; the most brutal
There has been a defence here and there . Lord AJberdeen has defended himself ; IiOrd Clarendon has defended the foreign policy of Government ; Lord John Eussell has defended himself ; and some journals defend the Ministry , with the insinuation , that we must put up with the present because ~ we cannot hare a better . Very likely . But what account can this Ministry give of itself ? ^ VV " e do not find that it makes either a defence or an explanation as a whole . Perhaps it has no account to give .
It was appointed to execute for us various practicable reforms , about which there did not remain much question . But measure af ter measure has "been given up ; we are to have no Parliamentary representation , no bills for the castigation of corrupt boroughs , for the improvemeut of the Poor-law , for the improvement of local police , of municipalities —no county boards , no public education , not a , ny of the reforms urged by the Ministers themselves ! And this week Ministers have
added to the list the Testamentary Jurisdjctlpn , Bill . The Ministry , therefore , has given up its mission of conducting practicable reforms . Then " wnat the devil does it do in that galley ? " "What business has it on the Treasury beucli P The best explanation that has been given lias been f ^ bout tliq war . Tho wm * is to be carried on with vigour , for the , purpose of obtainJing , guaranteea that Russia will not
again , myado the 'independence of Turkey or the peacp of Europe . Thaj ; is a very proper object * as far as i £ goes . But it is a negative obJQcjb . The , sole , distinct mission of tine , English Government ia one to weaken Bussia ; tho dut ^ r is h ^ osQiiry , , bvit wo ask whether the sntisfa . ctory' mission for this great nation ia tho negative pu . r . poso of rendering Russia vveaker ? Ilayo wo no gopd that \ vp can do at homo or abroad ' ?—no energies to occupy , no opportunities to improvo , no influeuco or jyeajth ( o enlarge ? Evitlefitly tho Ministry la tumbling to pieces through wnnt of public copfidoncO ; , —through want pf confidence in jitaelf—7 W , an , t pf soli-rospGct , because it is tlio Ministry of ! . a great nul ' -iou without a
miaon . It anfortunaMy liapppns that that groat peoplo cannot very well cnll the Government to account , for a pair of reasons , only two ( sufficing . In tho first placo , the great
English people at present has no mission of its own . We are in hopes tliat it may arrive at a mission . It may gradually rouse itself to a positive enterprise in quest of victory for the enlargement of its influence and the extension of constitutional Government . And perhaps it may find something for a Government to do at home . Pexchance the popular mind will awaken to an idea ; and when ifc shall do so , it may then be able , either to call the present Ministry to its duty , or to create a Ministry that can acknowledge a positive duty at home as well as abroad .
Only the other reason why the Ministry cannot be called to its duty is a reason also why the great English people has a difficulty in appointing its Ministry . Not more than a fraction of the people appoints the representative body ; and hence a very imperfect command over the instrument for questioning Ministers , or the power for creating Governments . In the meanwhile , the present Cabinet gives up the function which it undertook on entering office . It has become a Provisional Government .
Church Charity And Catholic Charity. Tbu...
CHURCH CHARITY AND CATHOLIC CHARITY . Tbue charity is of no sect , but is one of the great facts at the root of all religion . It is not only Christ but Nature that commands us to love one another ; and the religion of the feelings has its home in the breast of the American Indian as well as in the heart of the civilized European . Our own island , and the Eastern and "Western continents , are studded with charitable institutions , and blessed is that nation which out of its abundance provides for the resourceless , the fatherless , the lame and the blind . These reflections , common-place ifc is true , but good to remember , are forcibly brought home to us by two facts which have arrested our attention this week , illustrating Church charity and Catholic charity . On Ham Common , there is a louse set apart for the rearing and education of orphans . There are many institutions of the kind ; we cite this as an illustration only of what one or two gathered together in the name of goodness may do . Five years ago
, the Reverend Joseph Brown , a true pastor , seeing the havoc which the cholera made in our homes , suggested the establishment of another Orphan Home . Mr . Minter Morgan , always ready in a good cause , bought Hani Houbo for 2000 / ., and added a donation of 500 Z ., in order that the noble idea of his friend might bear fruit . The institution has Happily met with support ; and is now a national orphan home , beautiful to see . But it depends on subscriptions ; and appeals are mf tflfl nnw n : nrl f , li « n ten + ? i » wmMJa . ft ™ m-IJ -- ¦ - > ii
— r-- ~ -w „» , _ v » u ^* t VMVM WJ ^ J V A ~*\ J \ J \ JL , fJX , X . \ J XV / Jk CwliV & a One of those appeals assumed the commoft shape of a charity dinner , and was celebrated at the Stbr and Garter , Richmond , on Wednesday . Lord John Russell , escaping from official pursuits , drove down thither and took the chair . Charity dinners are nofc lovely sights ; but they havo their uses ; and , besides , tlie custom is no !; only old , but national . In no other way , poi'haps , could heterogeneous masses meet who otherwise would never moot , and DiaBcnt sit on tho right
hand of orthodoxy for * a common purpose . There is an eclat about the thing , too , which the ostentatious lovo ; and though ostentation is not a virtue , still it is better to be ostentatiously charitnble than not to be charitable at all . On this occasion there were touching incidents , vhon all felt thoir common humanity . For instance , when the chairman , with omotldn in his features and in his voice , said that the presence of an orphan levels all xHstinctiona of rank , and
