It does not touch - the real objection, which is to attended( the consideration of mere fraoohise bills. The nodes that leyiegen the table bills which are not to be proceeded with can meet the just oppoeltion to the goverament plea of proposing only an instalment of reform, is absolutely untenable ; and the ?moieties to West Lord Greened's amendment as vote of want of confidence betrays • temper which we may almost term feminine.

Berl Groayssor's resolution affirms that extension of the fran chise and redistribution of oasts should form one measure to be dimmed simultaneously in all its parte, and the latest decision of the government in no way readers it less important that hie resolution should be persevered ie.

The parish of Clerken well is governed by a local Act, and its treatment of paupers consequently depends upon the Dense, temper, and discretion of its guardians. The central authority advises and recommends ' • and the local authority ignores the advice and declines the recommendation ; and there is an end of the Quoting the language of Mr. Gladstone last night, the Examiner says the way of ell One liberals is now straight and plain. Tbey will not, if they can help it, let fly the bird in hand, for say whig lead or jibing miloootont who will tell them hew much totter it is to best about the bush. The meaner oleos of politicians who owe private grudges choose a time lit* this for clearing off their mores ; though it is little enough they can gain by placing them selves where they will have their measure taken by the's. othetrymen. The cabal to break in the present •dmisistri tion is no exception to the rule which usually forms the properties between artful dodgers and their dupes. With ineffable impudence the former contrive at the same time to persuade their terror-stricken fools of quality that what they mean is to damn any obaage, that their cry for • comprehensive bill is a device to ohoth the induthious dame out at any real intsoass of power, while, to those who are epee to • metrary way of palmation, with their double tongue they argue that their paupom is only to being ministers by logical preesu'e into • more expellent way of legislation. Aphid both parties they would play the cheat. They share no more the femi nine panic of weak vess-ls like Lord Grosvenor than they believe in the fairness of the ribaldry and abuse of the working classes indulged in by Mr. Lowe. But many ineangruous passions and inconsistent fears are I to be worked upon in order to bring things into • state of marfosion ; for without confusion, • crisis, and if possible kirk up of the Cabinet, what chance have they ? The Ntansiner, however, believes that the rank and file of the Liberal party will be toned staunch and true. Mr. Lowe has only to ask one man's leave for re-election, and Lord Skim has only to ask his own ; but the Examiner hardly knows a third whose name is worth mentioning that could make sure of his return far the place he now represents if be amps *the bootlegs with hie pries on his hick. If the kirks can honestly win the game let them try by all 0111111DS to do so. The special bonbons to-day is to depreciate the giving of quart r to treachery whatever mask it wears. Anti-reform en anti-reform principles as much as you will. We know what that is, we respect it as an honest enemy, and we can knock it over whenever it comes to a fair fight. But meth friendship for reform, adopted as the surest way to its betrayal, is not entitled to the itookl or political for bearance which Begtiehmen are accustomed to show to- wards those they grapple with ; and such forbearance ought te be DO lamer shown. The Saturday Review regards the nodose given by Lord Grostheor and Sir W. Huth as conclusive of the fate of the Reform Bill. If the government cannot rely on the support of • young whig noble man and of • veteran °Mehl who a few mouth' ago was a member, although • very humble one, of the misistre, on whit effectual support can it rely The obvious exp'anttion of these notices is that their authors believed, and had every reason to believe, that they were going to do • thin; that would be decidedly popsiar. The organs of the government may put as good • face ea the matter as they like, but the fact is that the Reform Bill has fallen d+ad. The country does not care for it ea atom. After such a rebuff it is very doubtful whether the ministry can last long. and the Saturday Review is ear soled by the thou !ht that if the conservatives come into dam experience seems to suggest that they are mere likely te devise ant curry • prao'imble end defensible Reform Bill than their opponents, and to gel a Reform Bill plumed that shall not be utterly bad is the first requisite of present politics ; and any ministry that gives promise of being able to carry such a bill may Aim indulgenos for many of the shortcomings it may happen to present. On the subject of the grilli.ies 'wittily the Saturday Review says that s it is admitted that is many instasees awned persona wars firth flogged and afterwards hanged it is impossible any fasts hereafter disoloved as affect the nature of an ou'mre wh'ish 's almat unprecedented. The French Jacobins, in tit, wiliest eccessos of cruelty, abstained fr'm the us. of torture, sad Endliah jurispredeses is intolerant of such a discovery of a measure of repression. Nevertheless, public opinion in the colony, as shown by the letter of the Bishop of Kiepton, I. still impenetrable by evidence or by reflection, and the colonists are slow to appreciate the moral indignation which will be aroused if an impartial verdict establishes the charges against the governor sad his associates. The Spectator cominethes a leader es Lord Grothsner's motion with the remark—The landlord of the Home fig Commons declines Earl Russell's Reform Bill. A few days ago the house was considering the of the headred me tropolitan railway schemes—the bill. we believe, far the Yid-London Railway—when Rarl Grosvenor rue to move that the bill be read that day six months. " Why Lord Grosvenor!' wh , spered • member, sot quite matter. Such is the law. It is important to note that no contradiotiou is attempted, and that the unspeakably disgraceful soenes recorded in this journal are admitted on all sides. The guardians ex cuse themselves by the alleged difficulty of hiring suitable wards ; the Poor-law Board explains that it Is compelled to rest satisfied with the guardians' aasertion ; and the hapless pauper falls between these two lofty stools. It seems clear, therefore, that the most frightful cruelties may be perpe• tzated with impun i ty ; that every dishenest device may be employed by one metropolitan parish to shift its burdens to another ; and that the idleness, indifference, or stupidity of a few local tradesmen is sufficient to neutralise humane legislation, and to uphold barbarisms which are a disgrace and scandal to England. Lord &minx, with true official caution, confined the exculpatory portion of his answer to the "hopes" and "prospects" of the Clerkenwell Guardians, and laid some stress upon the fact that " so far back as the 29th December " last they entered into a negotiation " which proved abortive. We could have informed him that so far back as 1864, the diagust ing treatment of casuals, and the horribly unwholesome closets and cellars complained of, were publicly denounced, and that the evils brought to his notice last night by Lord BURGHLEY have been rampant ever since the Houseless Poor Act was enforced. The law bas been consistently broken by this parish ; it is the form of the offence only which has changed. Destitute wanderers were refused shelter nightly until the fact was exposed in these columns, and an explanation seized for. "If we take in thirty, "we consider we do our share," was the answer insolently returned ; and, "There oughtn't "to be no homeless poor," was the reply vouchsafed to the Metropolitan Inspector. But when those bent upon ensuring a fair trial for the Houseless Poor Act were seen to be resolute, when public exposure was followed by official inquiry, when it was found that "the fundamental prin " ciple " of the Poor-law, so long forgotten, was at last brought home to the national mind, then the guardians of Clerkenwell changed their tactics. The destitute wanderer was no longer refused admission. The master of the workhouse was made to understand that his situation depended upon the law being carried out, and he properly determined that, let who would defy the Poor-law Board, his conduct should be free from blame. Henceforth, the illegality rested with the guardians, and only occurred within the workhouse walls. No pauper was refused shelter, the letter of the law wail observed, and but for independent inves tigations, the result of which we have given to our readers, the most filthy and disgust ing horrors might have been calmly main tained at Clerkenwell, without either the public or the Poor-law Board having the faintest suspicion of their existence. All that we are able to do, we have done. The country now knows that in the very heart of the metropolis, and within hail of the most bountiful, philanthropic, and earnestly religious organizations in the world, a public body is stubbornly and callously indicting frightful and degrading cruelties upon those they are bound by every moral and legal obligation to protect. These are days of missionary enterprise, and as the law is inoperative, as the Poor-law Board is defied, as the House of Commons is content to play at question and answer, and as public opinion is sneered at, we commend to voluntary and per suasive effort the task of converting the Clerken well Guardians from borbsrisms which heathens would blush at, and which a weekly outlay of a few shillings would prevent. ap ia his '•goverflies families,* "the railway is not wise to Mester."

According to the Vienna journals Austria intends to refer the solution of the question respecting the Duchies to European arbitration, and with this object is going to avail herself of the accidental meeting of the Conference which is now sitting in Paris for the settlement of the affairs of the Danubian Princi palities. The Vienna Gazette, moreover, suggests that Austria should refer the question to the Ger man Diet. The Official Gazette of Bavaria says that it would regard with horror a war between Austria and Prussia, the first result of which would be foreign intervention, and perhaps lead to the ruin of Germany. It makes an appeal for oon oord, and points out the evil consequences of a fratricidal war. But should a war break out it would be the duty of the secondary States to "fight bravely for right and honour," which, however, by no means indicates on which We these States would range themselves in the event of a war. The anniversary of the birth of the Prussian King was made the omission of an exhi bition of friendly feelings between the Austrian and Prussian troops in the Duchies. General von Gablenz sent Herr von Hoffman to Schleswig to re present him at the banquet which was given by General Manteuffel in celebration of the day. Austria, in the opinion of the Avenir National, has one great advantage over Prussia, namely, that the war would be popular in the former, whereas the people of Prussia do not wish to be dragged into a war of which they perceive the injus tice. But Herr von Bismarck does not abate one jot of his arrogance. When Count Karolyi asked, on behalf of the Austrian government, for explana tions respecting the ordinance of March 11, he haughtily replied, " Prussia cannot tolerate the agitation of the Angustenburg party in the Duchies."

The first meeting of the society formed for this purpose took Owe on Wednesday night lad at the Sorbonne, as =monad, and was most numerously attended, every part of the great hall being thronged, sad the number of elegantly-dressed ladies being exceedingly large. Y. Amt. des Thierry, senator and member of the institute, occu pied the chair, having ou his right M. Martin de Mohnen. more of Saint Louis d'Antla ; M. Veliette, a clergyman of the confession of Augsburg ; It. Memel, minister of the ft wise sharch,and origioatar of the proposed undertaking ; and Crimieax ; sad ise the left U. Aatrso, chief rabbi ; M. Paulin Pfeil, of the Institute ; and K. Levy Ring, a Jewish banker. Behind thoee gentlemen were insey other members of the society, consisting of Roman catholic priests, protestant clergymen, rabbis, and a crowd of influential laymen. At 8 precisely the chairman opened the proceedings in au address, in whicli, after expressing his high satisfaction at beholding such an assembly of the representatives of all creeds, be explained the necessity for the work propos:A. According to his idea the sew translation would to so much the easier of accomplishment that it afforded a neutral ground on which all persons might meet—namely, that of philology and literature. A committee of trawls tiara was afterwards formet, oomprlving NZ Martin de Noirlien, Vallette, Paris, and Astrue, with M. Petavel for secretary. The latter gentleman reed a report on the &erecter of the society, which be dealarr•d not to be in any way doctrinal, and on the manner in which it hoped to realise its object. Afterwards, in snooession, the care of Sahrt-LonieerAn.in, the Grand Rabbi, M. Valletta, Y. Bertrand, anon of Versailles, and N. Levy Bing addressed the meeting to express their adhesion. The Abbe Loisos, vicar of Saint. Olotbilde, also spoke, and in the name of catholicism die avowed the inquisition. The general character of this meeting led to the hops that the work may teed to advance religious toleration.

We got ce herd OM hash steamer there about n o'clock on Sand , y, 'IMO whioh we retched in .defy." Oxford won the toss, and of souse took the Owe nearer the Middlesex shore. The boats were scarcely brought to their stations, when Mr. Searle, at 12 minutes to 8, gave the signal, and both got well away together, amidst a burst of cheers. The steam-boats were still moored when the match boats were off, and from that time to the end of the race were too far behind to impede the men in any way. At first the two crews, working with the regularity of machinery, both with a slower and steadier stroke than has been followed at the last two or three contest., kept ' well together, and it was scarcely possible for the first few minutes of the race to tell which, if either, bad the lead. Gradually Cambridge appeared to be taking the front without any increased effort, and it soon became clear that such was the fact, and that the Oxonians were being passed. A moment more sad the Oantabs were • clear length ahead, and as they passed under Ham mersmith-bridge with their lead they were greeted with an encouraging cheer, and cries from bridge, boats, and river banks of "Well rowed, Cambridge ! Pull, Cambridge, pull I" The excitement at thus point was intense ; all who could get a glimpse of the rocs were straining their eyes for an indication of the slightest change in the position of the boat., and men, women, and boys were running wildly along the muddy towing path, regar dl ess of dirt or of danger, from the trotting horses, which were mixed up with the moving multitude. At the bend of the river below Barnes-bridge, and while the Canniridge men were holding their lead, a sailing barge, tacking from the southern to northern side, ran across the bows of both boats, and was said by some to have impeded Cambridge more than Oxford—both were thrown a little out of their tonne, but it did not in the least slacken the pace. However that mightbe, the Oxonians from that moment began steadily and surely to overhaul their opponents. The Cantabs need their best efforts, and both crews rowed with a power and precision which has seldom been equalled. Still the Oxford men gained, and by almost imperceptible degrees brought the boats level, and then just as Barnes-bridge wee reached, ghat, by a powerful exertion, to the /root amidst hearty cheers, in which the friends of the Cantabs were as loud and as earnest as those whose sym pathies were with the dark blue. The lead once obtained costinued to be improved in spite of the gallant and still steady efforts of the Cantabs, till the winning flag was passed by Oxford with a lead of two-and-a-half boat's-length. The time occupied by the race was under 21 minutes, and it was, therefore, the fastest rowed match in the history of these contests. This was the twenty-third of these matches, and the result of to-day's race gives Oxford thirteen victories, of which six have now been won in sub waive years. The shortest time in which the course had been gone over until this race was 21 min. 6 secs. which was in 1846,when Cambridge won by two lengths. The times of to-day's race as given by Ben son's chronograph are as follows :—Started 7h. 49m. 49 1-10 sec. ; arrived Bh. 10m. llsec.; time occupied 20m. 21 9-10seo. [From Second Edition of Belts Life] Oxford, having woo the toss, took the Middlesex aide, we think with &Ord al judgment, as the wind was blowing dead off the Surrey shore, and the tide having Dearly cowed, they thereby gave Centbaidge the smoother water sad say advantage there might have hem is the last of the tide.
