Rro-Morrow The Nation Is Requested By Th...
rrO-MORROW the nation is requested by the X authorities to prostrate itself before the Almighty ia prayerful acknowledgement of the bountiful harvest . But the nation , though very hypocritical , -will do nothing of the kind ; only the church-going classes , to whom the price of bread is not a vital social question , will join in thanksas they would join in any other respectable
movement . The large classes indicated by the Census as not sensitive to the blessings of systematic piety will stay in their dirty homes , or lounge at filthy street-corners , enquiring as to how many " souls ' the cliolera is killing daily , and logically surprised at themisappropriatenesa of the respectable classes in acknowledging gratitude for the cheapening of provisions at tbe very moment -when the 4 lb . loaf is somewhat going up .
There will be , probably , this addition in appropriateness : news of Sevastopol is due , and if a battle be won , or the fortress taken , there will be but little national humility . Until this news rings in all the capitals of Europe , diplomacy is suspended ; and as everything turns on the Crimea , wo confess that we differ altogether from pur daily contemporaries in regard to the Austrian Circular of the 14 th inst ., which we cannot consider as of the slightest importance on events , though it
suggests , what wo must all admit , the consummate tnct of the Austrian diplomatists in attempting to retain , at great hazards , the position of nrbitvotivo masters of the situation . The Ministerial journals insist that the circular demonstrates Austrian good faith — -as if history allowed us to believe in such a thing ; and the Times asks , " How can you Liberals contend that Austria ia aiding Husaiii by occupying the Principalities , when you seo Gononvl Hess nil-owing Omar Pasha to push into Bessarabia P "—tho Times
perhaps , not knowing that General Hess is too anti-Russian to bo admired cither by tho Austrian diplomacy or by tho Austrian army , and tho Times not perceiving that tho advance of the Turks on Bessarabia mews , in n political sense , even if true , just nothing . There still are Russian disasters in Asia-tho Russians arc on tho defensive against both Turks and Schamvl ; and that change in their game ia fatal to thorn in a part of tho world where little depends on resources and ovorytlung on prestige . There is a mystery about tno Baltic allied fleets—something wrong : but it
would be unjust to charge failure against N " apier - ^ he is a blundering man , but a good sailor , and if his ships could have done anything he would have given them the chance . The firm neutrality of the Northern Powers deranged his calculations , no doubt ; and the English public should inquire if -we have not lost Sweden and Denmark because our Government declined to give those countries permanent guarantees against Russia . What was the use of sending out a bold admiral if our Government was timid ?
The Crimea expedition has inspired the country with confidence in the Government ; but , as we have suggested all along , the difficulties of the cabinet continence after Sebastopol . The Sheffield meeting on Monday was a failure , because it was anti-ministerial—there being really no anti-ministerial ground whatever to take as yet . . But Sheffield might try again ; when the perplexity comes to be realised , there will be plenty of meetings : the cabinet itself will probably split on the Austrian alliance , and then Whigs and Peelites will be
appealing against one another to those sections of the country which are in their confidence . Meanwhile the country is intent for news of the war , — ia not in the least analysing the politics of the war . Tho agricultural interest has b « en having its meetings , to talk good crops and bad English : not a word anywhere about tho Austrian alliance ; so that Mr . Disraeli , finding that the time had not yet arrived to give any cuo an public affairs , has missed , for tho first time for five years , the annual Buclc 9 Farmers' Dinner . Two Liberals
ha-ve been out , but have talked abjectly vial a propos . Mr , Hume has made a speech , in which he seems to take for granted that " wo are all Reformers now , " that the business of Radicalism has boon done in his time ( and , indeed , in one sense that is true ) , and so on , in Mr . Hume ' s way ; while Mr . Frederick Peel , invited to a public ball , arid requested tospoak before dancing begain , lectured youngladics and gentlemen of Bury on—Lord
John ' s last Reform Bill . Can M public opinion " be gathered from tSicso imbecilities P And there is nothing yltj o going on . There is , to be sure , an election for Fromo impending : Liberal doctors writing to London papers to grown over the * dictation of tho Earl of Cork , and wondering tbut no public spirited Reformers will go down and contost the borough . Is everybody out of town ? Not a briefless barrister left to advertise hia Buntiinuxits ? " Our Ministers are till in deep retirement —oven Lord Aberdeen has left ; town ;
and those of the Ministers who go north , are caught by Scotch corporations find ensluved into having the " freedom" of various cities ( which natives leave with great alacri ty ¦) , inflicted on them . Sir William Moles worth is undergoing this operation at Edinburgh : and will seize the occasion to point out how , in his person , Radicalism has advancedforgetting that he is a wealthy baronet , and overloooking the letters of Liberal electors of Frome . The Perry case ( we hope ex-Lieutenant Perry is now behaving morally , so as to be worth the fund that is being raised in his honour ) has been
balanced by a case , at Gosport , in which a prostitute , tbe associate of dashing officers , drinks and fights herself to death on board an H . M . S . Society is again indignant : Lieut . Knight is regarded as a blackguardly young man , deserving transportation ; and the press is horrified to find that the " officers " of the navy are just as indifferent " gentlemen" as the oflicers of the army—the press , in its virtuous indignation , not observing that Lieut . Knight is a Marine , and in that respect a fit address for their virtuous homilies . We have elsewhere suggested the affectations of this " public disgust ; " we may
remark , in addition , that public despair of officers might be suppressed while the country has sent our armies and navies to defend civilisation ; and it will not b « out of place to hint that journalists are not professionally bound to cant . From America wo get a new story about Cuba . We get facts about Canada . There is a Ministerial crisis of a strange fashion . The chief minister is ousted and his policy is retained ; nay , some of his colleagues form part of his now Ministry , under his old antagonist Alan M'Nab : as if Lord Derby , having delbntod Lord
John Russell in the lnt-q Ministry , hud walked to the Treasury with some of Lord John ' s colleagues and adopted tho Cabinet programme of the Whigs in block . The principsU measures of tho late Government are : the soeulurisiitiou of the Clergy reserves ; tho atct of the Imperial Parliament , substituting election for nomination , in the appointment of the Legislative Council of Upper Cumada ; thu emancipation from soigneuriul rights in Lower Canada ; and the authority for carrying out tho Elgin treaty , establishing reciprocity of conunor-¦ * i . * . i i * - * r 1 ...... rill . .. ciiu intercourse with tho Unituil StatesTlieso
