The combination which was formed at Lord John Russell ' s house in Chesham Place has not survived many weeks , and the Mihifcia debate this week has exposed the two leaders of it in antagonism the most disastrous j Mr . Cobden , with Mr . Bright , heading a paltry minority , and Lord John appearing as the subordiiiate coadjutor of the Ministers that superseded him . "When the bill was to have gone into committee , Mr . Gobden moved an amendment demanding a return to show the effective force of the navy available for the defence of the coasts—the bill to stand over until
that return should be made . The object , in fact , was obstruction . In the debate , Lord Palmerston made a good point , by producing a pamphlet emanating from the Peace party , and showing that it is the Christian duty of this country to be conquered b y France" ! After that majestic exposition of Peace principles , the moderated expression of the same doctrines fell flat upon the House . Not so Mr . Drummond ' s converse of the Peace
argument—that this country would benefit by being well thrashed , as it might then be roused to its duty of resistance . The Radical opponents of any militia scheme tried their strength on Monday , in a motio * 'to adjourn the debate ; which was lost by 68 to 291 . The debate was adjourned , to allow opportunity for other speakers ; but on the following night the . amendment was negatived by 291 to 68 . This division alone would suffice to show how little command of political tactics the Radical allies of Lord John Russell %
possess . As for Lord John himself , he adheres bvavely to his policy of being always in the wrong place . Sir John Pakington has brought forward a bill to confer upon New Zealand a constitution ; a laudable exercise of diligence favourably contrasted with the delays of the last Government . To the details of the plan we cannot pledge ourselves ; JJ » t ftt all events the political constitution of the Now Zealanders will no longer be suspended on the decision of a Minister whose mind oscillates « ' < o a pendulum . .
Mr . Sharman Crawford ' s Tenant Right Bill was rejected on Monday , by 167 -to 57- The opposition , led by Mr . Conolly and Lord Naas , and supported by Sir William Somerville , waa charactewzea by bitterness , and an imputation of bad wiohves ; repaid With interest by Mr . G . H . Moore , [ Town Edition . !
whose description of the relation between landlord and . tenant , although not by any means new , is well deserving attention . The galling injustice of the existing laws was admitted by all , and Mr . Napier promised a moderate but efficient remedy . Can we put any trust in the quondam secretary of a Brunswick lodge , or believe that coercion and unlimited freedom of contract , well hit off by Mr . Moore as the creed of Shylock , will eradicate Ribbonism and regenerate the country ? Lord Naas said Tenant Right would make a desert of Ireland . Makea desert ! What is it now , then ?
A valley of Sharon , or a valley of the Shadow of Death ? Lord Lyndhurst Las taken pity on Mr . Salomons , and has brought forward a Bill to repeal the old laws lurking in the Statute-book , which inflict all sorts of penalties and outlawry upon him as " a popish recusant , " for refusing to take the oath abjuring the Pope " on the true faith of a Christian . " Lord Lyndhurst seems to have taken the Government somewhat by surprise , and
they allowed their unpreparedness to be seen . They do not seem to perceive that , by removing those obsolete laws , lie has done something , small as it may be , towards mitigating the urgency of the Bill for the complete relief of the Jews . Meanwhile , however , the measure is only an act of justice towards a political opponent , and Lord Lyndhurst deserves well for undertaking tlie duty . Active , energetic , and aggressive , the Anti-State Church association chronicles its own
successful campaigns this week , and one of its advocates insists that the Bishop of Exeter is among its best champions . Such would seem to be the case . State-churchism is as much abhorred by the Convocation Party as by Dissent j and although the former could not peacefully tolerate the triumph of the latter , yet substantially the J _ „ £ 1 ..- . 4 . 1 , ¦ „„ , » + lm unmr > fi-on fiflVfilnnmCnt for nds of both the same—free development tor
e are all spiritual influences . We note here simply the rapid growth of each movement , especially of the former . Not only in England and the Colonies , but in Scotland , we observe that tlie movement advances : the bishops of Scotland hnyc decided on recommending the admission of the laity to their Synod . Thus , every week brings this vital question nearer to a solution *
Abandoning the Congenial atmosphere of Harwich , Sir Fitzroy Kelly has appealed , and successfully , to East Suffolk . He stoutly maintained that his principles were Protectionist , and ho humbly confessed to his Free-trade sins while in
office under Peel . The remarkable fact connected with his election isr that his opponents were of the tenant-farmer class , and that he was not only soundly rated on the hustings for his manifold sins by a Free-trade tenant-farmer , but by miscellaneous and unsparing critics in the crowd . This would not be encouraging to Ministers if they were still Protectionsts .
The Royal '' -Academy dinner on Saturday was distinguished by an unexpected escapade . Lord Derby indicated the promise of a site for the National Gallery , which would leave the whole building in Trafalgar Square to the Royal Academy ; and Mr . Disraeli , following up the idea , bespoke the aid of Lord John Russell ! ' Ever } r body . felt that it was a surprise , and Lord John looked discomfited ; but he plucked up heart of grace , and did let out something like the reciprocation of a promise ; still , however , answering Lord Derby , rather than Mr . Disraeli .
The agitation in the book-trade goes , on , and the free-traders seem sure of ultimate success . The meeting at Mr . John Chapman ' s was a formidable array against tlje present system , and in the abolition of that it was nearly unanimous . But a letter from Mr . Carlyle cast doubt on the sufficiency of mere free-trade to regulate the literature of a country ; Mr . F . O . Ward threw out hints
as to the advantages of cooperation and association , to regulate the number of persons engaged in a particular field of industry ; and lie pointed to a statement already made by Mr . Owen , respecting the Ray Society , as a proof of the occonomical results derivable from free combination . In so many places does this coming truth show its light !
We have no news from France this week that our last week ' summary had not anticipated . AH eyes are ' fixed upon the coming fete , which seems , however , to wane in interest as the day approaches , whether from overwrought expectations , or because the play of Hamlet is to be performed with the part of ' Hamlet' left out . The Empire is adjourned . Pacific are the promises pf the new Augustus , and the Bourse is his battlefield .
TheCustomB Congress at Berlin is shillyshallying in fruitless formalities , and very slow to get , to work ; but that the essence of the strugg le between Prussia and Austria is as much political as com- > mercial , no doubt remains . Austria is trying to absorb the discordant nationalities of her scattered Empire . All the imperial house of Russia haye descended
