That, The Dissolution Of Parliament Is N...
That , the dissolution of Parliament is now drawing near is proved ? by more thanthe formal preparations whiefr ; M making f it is evinced in the general' lassitude and want of interest which no party cares to conceal . The work done might almost he expressed in a circulating fraction , of which no addition will ever make up as much as a single integer . There has been much debate , though not so much as usual , but the principal importance attaches to certain incidental evidences or avowals .
The Militia Bill has dragged its slow length through Committee , although ou Monday night it hod to undergo six divisions on one clause . ' Several members proposed exemptions— -of Quakers , of medical men , of schoolmasters , of parliamentary non-electors , of married men , ahoTe the age of twenty-five ; all of which glorious propositions were rejected by decisive majorities , with Mr . Milner Gibson's proposal not to exempt Peers . The Anti-Ministerial speakers all displayed a new-born confidence in the standing army , by preferring an increase of that to a militia force . On
Thursday , five more divisions . In reference to this measure , however , Mr . Disraeli has declared that Ministers are bent on carrying it before the dissolution . The treatment of Mr . Gladstone ' s Colonial Bishops Bill is curious . It seems that at first , Ministers intimated that they might support the second reading ; then they announced that they should oppose it ; and on "Wednesday , Sir John Pakington entered into a long criticism on its imperfections and enormities . In the face of this oppositionMr . Gladstone withdrew it . The
, bUl is not popular among the colonists in London ; and Sir John is trying to « lo his best to obtain the confidence of the colonists . In the course of the debate , the Attorney-general avowed Jnat no law exists to forbid the meeting of bishops -Jj * purpose of framing internal regulations . Ministers decline to go on with , the Bennett ca " e : no royal commission will he issued to in-< HHre . Mr . Horsman gave notice of a motion for a 8 elec * committee on Tuesday night , when there w " no house .
An attempt was made to shelve the Maynooth affair ' . until qfter Parliament should be dissolved ; but ifc failed , and the debate will be resumed on Tuesday . Mr . Disraeli , hoWevfcr , cannot be [ Country Edition . ]
charged with evasion , since he . declared that Ministers do not intend to abrogate the Maynooth grant , and that he himself could not at all concur ip the grounds of the motion for inquiry . Another avowal is worth note : Lord Malmesbury has declared that ourrelations with the court of Rome , are carried on in a circuitous underhand way , unworthy of this great country . Will I ^ rd Malmesbury mend the way ? Touching the dissolution , Lord John Russell mentioned it as occurring in a day or two , or at the most , a week after the 16 th . About the middle of June , probably , it will be j but
Ministers are still unpledged to the precise $ ) £ >*• On the eve of a dissolution , the Londonderry scandal in the county of Down is an opportune avowal . Having joined Mr . Sharman Crawford and the Tenant-Bight movement , Lord Castlereagh was informed that he must resign his seat in the House of- Commons , and " Castlereagh ' s position" was offered to Lord Londonderry's nephew , Mr . D . S . Ker . In the sequel , however , Mr . Ker lets it be discovered that he could not rightly appreciate the relation of " patron and nominee , " nor the relation to Lord Londonderry who was to claim the member for Down as H kis
member . " The joint . enterprize , therefore , is broken off ; Lord Londonderry offers the post to " Alick Stewart ; " and indignant at the turn which the correspondence has taken , Mr . Ker resolves to shame the Marquis , and print it . At this the Marquis is very wroth , and he publishes an appendix , in which he intimates that he is only deterred from asking " satisfaction" by the relationship between himself and Mr . Ker . An idle story , except you regard it as a useful confession by the Marquis , that a peer may still have " his member" in the House of Commons .
The dispute in the Book-trade has attained the completion of its first stage , in the total defeat of the old combination . In a formal judgment , Lord Campbell and his colleagues have pronounced the regulations of that body unreasonable and inexpedient ; a decision so strongly backed by the general feeling , that no combination could stand against it . As yet , the trade seems to have come to no conclusion ; and it would really seem as if no regulations were to be contemplated , each doing as he likes .
Meetings like that held at the rooms of the Society of Arts , on Tuesday and Wednesday , are significant of two things—the desire of the people for education , and that the associative idea is
gaining ground in what are politely called "high quarters . " As our readers will see , the amount of speaking was limited in quantity , but on the whole sound in quality . Especially we note the energetic repudiation on the part of Ecclesiastical Re li gion , by the Bishop of Oxford , of all hostility to Literature and Science . Also , there is the unexplained phenomenon , so well brought out by Mr . Hume , that the Mechanics' Institutions are scarcely even self-supporting for years after their establishment . .
It is pleasing to find an authoritative recognition , that amusement is necessary for working men , and that science alone is by . no means to be insisted on . It is to be regretted that the men who could have given a good insight into the working of the co-operative principle , illustrated by the Yorkslure Union , as Mr . Holmes , of Leeds , or Mr . James Hole , did not make any kind of explanation<— blocked out , no doubt , by the greater forwardness of those who had less to tell . Altogether , however , the meeting is deemed successful . . .
Smith O'Brren was . a gentleman , besides being the descendant of an old race of Irish kings . But he was ; a rebel s and the Law , which spared his life , sent him into retirement in a penal colony . His old friends , Peers , Baronets , Members of Parliament , Bishops , and Justices of the Peace , thinking he is hardly treated , forgive the gentleman his rebellion , n . nd petition the Viceroy to release the convict . But the Chief k > f Dublin Castle
is , officially , flinty-hearted : he hears the prayer , and in return , scold * by implication the supplicants . It is like their confounded impudence , indeed , to ask the Queen to release a man who will not confess his crimes , and beg for mercy I So the Lord Mayor of Dublin who , on Monday , presented to Lord Eglinton a memorial from Irish respectability , for the liberation of Smith O'Brien , was rated and
refused-There are other British subjects , not condemned by our laws , wlw chum attention at the hands of Government . At Rome there is a Mr . Murray , who is under sentence on a charge of having been in connexion witJi a band of robbers ; and there is really no guarantee that our Government has taken effectual steps to secure him simple justice In Spain , Mr : Grenfett and JMr . Seymour , two-English gentlemen , are subjected to continued ill-treatment by the custom-house officers , without redress . The two things that appear to bemaking w » y on the Continent are , coercion of
