N Proposing The Health, Of Her Majesty's...
N proposing the health , of her Majesty ' s Ministers , at the Guildhall Banquet on Tuesday cven-» , the Lord Mayor made a good attempt to draw I the Premier on the subject of Reform , nor was unsuccessful , although his purpose was smoked Lord Derby . c < r You have thrown out a very ring bait , " said he ; " but , my Lord , we are grow-; older , and have learned more caution , and we II notSake the bait . " It would not have been > mly , he said , on such an occasion , to " forestai
anuncements which will fall so much more grncc-Jy from the lips of the Sovereign ; " admitting by 3 terms of the excuse the fact that the all-im-L-tanf subject will form a prominent feature in ; speech from the Throne . But he went yet a , le ! further . " At this moment , " he said , " having oyed that brief period of repose which is allowed a Minister of State , I am , along with colleagues , actively and . . seriously engaged maturing and considering the details of ) sc measures of legal , social , financial , and
litical improvement which I hope at the comnccment of the next session to submit to the im-• tial judgment of Parliament ^ find the people . ' pressed with the conviction that under the at institutions of this country the people have oyed " as great an amount of civil and religious u-ty , and as perfect an independence of word and ion as ever did any nation on the face of the th , " and that the aggregate of these advantages only been gained by successive additions and n-ovements in these institutions , he " will not
islate for the high or the low , for the rich or for poor , but for the well-understood beneiifc of all ssos of the people . " Of course it is just upon question of what is for the benefit of nil clusaos t the great difficulty hangs ; but tha Premier ' s nsion House speech will be accepted by the mtry generally as giving a positive pledge that comment nre really working with ua earnest Lcavour to Hud a practical solution , of tho dii ! - lU problem , V . oooi'diug to Lord Shaftesbury , one part of the > joct ia not half so difficult as it is supposed to
I ho oxolasLvonoss oC tho Houses of Lords , ho Lntains , does not exist . When Mr . Bright spoke tho House of Lords as " a proud , oxolusivo , and ogant body , " and said that " tho inscription ovor \ x doovs should bo , ? No trader admitted here , " I ' d Shal ' tosbury cloolaros that Mr . Bright laid wi a principle which noithoi' ho , nor any other nbor of tho IIouso of Lords with whom ho is uaintod , would adopt or subscribe to j it is tho iid distinction betwoon tho poornjjo of this couuand tho nobility of every other oouufcry that the Liali peerage ia rocruitod from " every olass .
rank , and order of her Majesty ' s subjects . " In theory this is unquestionably true ; but in prac- j tice ? How many Peers can Lori \ Shaftesbury \ point to who have gone into the House of Lords j simply as " traders ? " The trader may sometimes ; be the " stirps" of the noble family , but before it ; I can flower into a Peerage the root must visually be j buried . ¦ j But we shall have enough of sueli arguments in ' 1359 . At the present moment we are interested in the ; organisation of public opinion on the main subject of Reform , and that organisation is making-healthy j progress . We . are interested , too , in another ques- j _ tion of reform , namely , in the reform of the present , state of our relations with the Ionian Islands . Two : highly important despatches from Sir John Young , ' Lord High Commissioner of those islands , have been ; published , and it . may , perhaps , be safely concluded ¦ that it . has been on the strength of the represent a- , tioiis contained therein that Mr . Gladstone has been . scat on his mission . One thing is made very plain by ' Sir John Young ' s account of the state of affairs ; it is that we are altogether de trap in these seven ! little islands , with their population of something , under a quarter oi a million , and their Parliament , j delegated by " isolated and alien constituencies , " | passing its time "in discussing quarrels between j the different islands , or in the pursuit of individual i iulerests . " Sir John Young s statement is so clear | and apparently so impartial in its conclusions , that little appears left for Mr . Gladstone to do , if not to give confirmation to the facts stated . The only i reasonable course that suggests itself is , that we should cut these troublesome little islands adrift , or at least five out of the seven . Corfu , and Paxo its close neighbour , half-populated , at present , uudrained and neglected , more than pay their own expenses , and under good treatment might become , Sir John Young says , a garden , and . its port the ceutro of the commerce of the adjoining countries , These he would retain as another station in the cliaiu with Gibraltar and Malta . Tho Bombay mail has not brought any news of great importanoo . Lord Clyde is , in fact , prevented from opening tho Oudo campaign until tho arrival of tho cold weather . In tho mean timo tho rebels are said to bo taking advantage of his forced in- activity to ravage the country almost up to iho walls of Lucknow . Tho plan of the Coimnuruler-in-Chicf , hovovor , is said to bo suoh that , if successfully carried out , thoy will have no choice bat to negotiate or to cutor Ncpaul , their submission boiug assured in cither case . In tho Punjab news there is one terribly significant pnssngo , it is that tho Mooltau fugitives are all " accounted for . " Many minor on- gageinonts havo taken place in tho jungle districts of J ' ugdoaporo and Saono , hi all of which , tho . euomy wore boaton . Of tho movemonts of Tantia Topoo tho accounts loavc ua iu somo doiObt . By one
statement we are led to conclude that he has made his way back to Julra , Pattan , and that he is holding out there . The proclamation announcing the change of Government Lad not been published up to the . 9 th of October . At the head of the foreign news of the week stands the letter of the Emperor Napoleon to his cousin , the Prince Minister for Algeria , on the subject of " free " immigration . Accepting the letter in good faith , as an exposition of the Imperial mind speaking for itself on this vexed and difficult question , the only regret that can be felt is , that the letter was not written several months earlier ,
before matters had been pushed to dangerous extremes with Portugal . However , it is an act of grace in the Emperor to state frankly that his mind is far from being- made up as to the principle of engaging Blacks . "If , in fact , " he says , " labourers recruited on the African coast have not their free choice , and if this enlistment is nothing ' more than a disguised slave trade , I do not desire
it at any price . " To come at the truth , he has directed the Prince Napoleon to make all necessary inquiry ; and , moreover , " as the best mode of putting an end to continual causes of conflict , " the Prince is directed to come to an understanding with the British Minister on the subject of engaging Indian Coolies instead of African negroes , on which subject the two Governments were in communication some time back .
; j J Mr . Sidney Herbert ' s late speech on the powers of the English press has had a vast effect on the reflective mind of Franco , as well it might , by suggesting as painful and saddening a contrast as ever was looked upon . The subject has been taken in hand by a writer in tho Revue ties Deux Mondes , and , says the Globe , he " has arrived , by another path , exactly at the same point where Montalembert takes his stand and views the results
i : ' 1 of the perfectly free discussion in . tho British Parliament , a freedom regulated only under the rules framed by each House for itself , and by the judgment and feeling of each individual speaker . " Well , tho llocue des Deux Mondes has received a " warning " for saying what it is very oertain that by far tho better half of France is feeling ; and no thing can possibly do tho Government of the Emperor more harm than this exhibition of
in-J « i ' 1 : j I 1 ' fatuated despotism . . It is impossible that public opinion can bo long kept down by such means . It is nothing less thau an egregious blunder to prosecute M . do Montalembert at all , but to proseouto him as ho is to bo prosecuted on the 17 lh of this month , with the public excluded from tho court of justice , and merely tho scnlenco passod upon him permitted to bo published , is to dolihomtoly mine the , ground boncath tho throne . Tho Danish Government has ooiuo to a sudden and important decision on tho affairs of tho duchies
