LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 20. THE AMENITIES ►►F POLITICAL LIFE. THE would need to have proved himself ugder fi re well as in debate. Public life Wail I come intolerable to men of the liner order of mind, unless it were softened by social courtesies and amenities. The test t derstanding that words below a sertaha degree strength, uttered in the heat of debate, are to be accepted in a Pickwickian or non natural seam, at once reconciles the la rge, of eloquence and freedom of criticism 'with - the preservation not only of the Quasx's peace, but of that good humour which, however it may be interrupted at moments, is the atmosphere in which a public assembly has its existence. With out it Parliamentary debate would become a free fight of abusive tongues ; and the House of Commons, instead of being the best club in London, would be a scene of noise and strife and turbulence as wearying and shucking as any Ecclesiastical Council that was ever held. The Pickwickian interpretation of strong personal ex pressions, which, so far from being an hypo crisy, is simply a tacit understanding that in the heat of debate and party strug gle men are apt to use words going beyond their deliberate meaning, saves Parliament from this degradation. A society in which men were bound not to be on civil terms, but to act towards each other as sullen churls, and to cultivate aver sion would soon reduce its men to the level of its manners. Political life, without its amenities, would degenerate into ruffianism. Sincerity is not compromised by good-breeding. Men are not bound to sit in moral judgment on each other, or to decide whether their rivals are wicked demagogues or unscrupulous charlatans. They do well to keep these questions in abeyance, even in the recesses of their own minds. Of course, men may stand in relations to each other in which private courtesies and civilities become impossible. The public would be justly scandalised if it were to hear of ex-Governor ICYRI dining with Mr. J. S. MILL at Blackheath, or even of Mr. P. A. TAYLOR accepting the hospitalities of Mr. CHURCHWARD at Dover. But social ameni ties should have free scope within the fair limits of political controversy. The Pickwickian sense of parliamentary language not only makes it possible to use invective and satire, which are legitimate weapons of controversy, without giving perma nent offence, but by smoothing the way to private intercourse between antagonists, mitigates the feelings and softens the words of public antagonism. If the epithets which such men m NORTH, Fox, PITT, and BURKA launched at each other in Parliament could not be tolerated now, neither could public renunciation of his long private friendship with Fox because they differed in theirviews of the French revolution have any parallel in our days. Public decency would be revolted by such a display. This change, which is surely one for the better, is in great part due to the cultivation of those private courtesies between poli tical opponents of which Mr. GLADSTONE and Mr. Dumaazti have lately given instances, and which we trust will long continue to characterise the public life of England. Ws publish in another column a copy of the 1 1 treaty negotiated with the North German Confede- 1 ration by the American Minister, at Berlin, de fining the status of Germans naturalised in the States. Lord &unary stated, in the late debate, that a copy of this treaty had been confiden tially shown to him, but it has not hitherto ap peared in the press. It will be seen that the first article frees the immigrants from North Germany, of whom tens of thousands annually enter America, from all obligations to their native country as soon as they are naturalised in the United States, and have resided there uninter ruptedly for five years. They are henceforth to be held as American citizens, and to be "treated "as such" with all the rights and privileges thereto pertaining. This single article affects • revolution in the relations between the most important power of continental Europe and the American Republic. With the German at all events, the inconveniences of the past condition of things have been real and serious, and the concession now granted is an immense ad vantage to some of the best citizens which the United States possess. The treaty will become law as soon as it is ratified by the Senate, and Mr. SIMARD has urged that there should be no delay. It will no doubt have an important bearing upon our own negotiations on the same subject. The amenities of literature have been illustrated by the learning and ingenuity of the elder Die- XAELI. Those of political life have been practised with equal distinction by his more Que. trious son. Some days ago, matter-of-fact poli ticians who were disposed to take literally the PRINK MINISTER'S expression of thankful ness for the solid piece of furniture which separates him in the House of Commons from Mr. 0 ',sestets' were startled to read the names of Mr. and Mrs. DISRAELI in tho list of visitors to Carlton house-terrace. Incredulity gave way to curiosity. Upon this hint the correspondents of country papers spoke ; and details of bow Mr. GLADSTONIR bowed and Mr. DISRAELI smiled, and both statesmen shook hands, neither taking the opportunity to smite the other under the fifth rib, filled the columns of the Eatansiriff Gazette and the Atli borough Druottlerer. How long they talked, andwhat peradventure they may have said, was the theme of statement and conjecture. Amazement has scarcely yet subsided iu some quarters at the daring which impelled Mr. DISRAELI to enter without a bodyguard of followers, or some distinguished Liberal hostage in Downing street or Grosvenor-gate, into the house of his adversary, thronged as it was with the ranks of the opposition. They can compare it only to King AL►RED'', visit to the camp of the Danes. They suspect a deep political device. The Pei ME MINISTER went, some sagacious persons darkly imagine, to seduce wavering Liberals from their allegiance at the very hearth of their chief. Even there he was spinning his web and laying his toils, and planning a new Cave or Tea-room. People have scarcely recovered their surprise at the visit of Mr. and Mrs. DISRAILI to Mr. and Mrs. GLADSTONE, when they are plunged into new depths of amazement at the visit of Mr., Mrs., and the Misses GLADSTO2III to Mr. and Mrs. DISRAELI, at the new Foreign office. " How dare the plaintiff's counsel tell my " counsel that it is a tine day ?" was Mr. Plea. WICK'S indignant inquiry when he witnessed the exchange of greetings between Mr. Serjeant Herrn ani his learned brother. Something like this feeling animates a good many worthy people, who picture to themselves the rival political leaders scowling at each other across the table in the House of Commons, thundering the sternest denunciations and pointing the keenest sarcasms, and wbo know nothing of conversations behind the SPEAX2IO4 chair, and accommodating arrangements about the order of business. All this is very startling. It is not the way that things are managed in vestries and in town councils ; and vestrymen and town councillors cannot understand it. If Alderman THIS denounces Town Councillor THAT at the local board, the Alderman and the Town Councillor will not speak in the streets, and Mn.t THIS and Mrs. THAT cease to exchange calls. The reciprocation of hospi talities between Mr. Cu. USTON z and Mr. Doman,' no doubt brings out in a strong light the Pick wickian side of public life. But in spite of the immortal satire which ridicules it, the Pick wie,kian side of public life is a very important and useful one. But for the under standing which it expresses, and the limitation which it imposes upon the meaning of spoken words, our public men like them of ancient times, and of turbulent modern States, would need to walk abroad attended by body-guards of sworn followers. At the very least, we should have a •returnof days such as those in which Prer "went " oat" with Mr. THIIIHRY, and Canna* exehanged shots with Lord °AMIE/AGM. ♦ political loher Tits latest cry front " monarchs retired from " Imminent" is simple burlesque. The ex-Duke of Bauwaw tot was the town's talk a gene ration back, but he has been lost sight of in this country for years, and it was in a public sense a resurrection when the publication of the memoirs of Mr. THOMAN DONCOMIE dragged his' once notorious name into the light of day. So completely bad this excellent legitimist " gone "out," that when he fell through the floor of the Paris opera box the other evening, people asked whether it could be the hero of the gossip of their youth, of whom the anecdote was told, much as if they thought a liberty had been taken with Tuts in his being able to visit operas at all. But " CHARLIB, by the grace of Goo Sovereign Duke " of Brunswick, Luneburg, ttc.," after having gone through enough litigation to kill a dozen ordinary men ; after raising and surviving by a generation hopes from his heirs ; after seeing the terms of his connection with Mr. T. Dom-one; pub lished and commented on as history, is not only alive, but publishes the following effusion in this morning's Timer : We, Charles, by the grace of God sovereign Duke of Brunswick, Luneburg, he., hereby declare :—That a decree of the ex-German Diet deprived us by force, but without any legal right thereto, of our hereditary domi nions, and also our private fortune, under the pretext that we were entitling troops in France with a view be re-take posses ion of our said duchy (not having abdicated and never intending to abdicate), as well as our private fee , tuns.

CHABLiII D. Few people will be disposed to do more thin laugh at the grotesqueness of these claim.. The Ado of Drumm= was relieved of the rem of when we go to the court of Queen Vanessa I Why, in fact, should a levee or a drawing-room be turned into a masquerade P Very few of the persons who are presented at soon every year possess a court dress. Those who can I afford it possibly buy the absurd finery for the occasion, but the majority hire the dresses from the same shops which supply the theatres and the individuals who disport them selves at casinos on the bel insequ6 nights. The majority, too, are most uncomfortable while they are wearing their borrowed suits. The sword—so monstrously out of place in these times—gets between their legs ; the dress rarely fits, and there is sometimes a sus picion that it is not over clesn,or free from certain parasites, which it is now the polite thing to call " gregarince." We really cannot see how royalty is honoured by persons appearing before it in a costume which does not belong either to themselves or the time. The unfitness of the thing is frequently demonstrated when some person arrayed in courtly apparel is discovered by the street boys returning in a hack cab through an tmoourtly region of the town. That which was admired and thought quite the thing in St. James's is hailed in other quarters with shouts of derision. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) The Peers will assume a grave responsibility, the AMC/ remark', if they deny to the present parlia ment the satisfaction of settling a question like that of compulsory rates, which has perplexed it during the whole of its existence. Never theless there are one or two points in M. Gladstone's bill which are impracticable. One proviso re serves for the parishioners who have declined to pay the rate, a controlling voice as members of the vestry, while at the same time this privilege is denied them by another clause. The more the latter is considered the more un reasonable will it appear. Suppose the vestry agree by • majority to raise a voluntary rate for an expensive organ, and one of them, thinking it unnecessary, de clines to give his voluntary contribution, why should this incapacitate him from voting, the following month, on an important proposal for altering the fabric! The Times hopes that the House of Lords will see fit to strike out this clause, or to amend it. The only misgiving of the Daily Newa as to the conduct of the Peers arises from the attitude assumed by members of the government in the House of Common'. They have betrayed an ill-will to the measure to which they dared not give open expression. The division of Tuesday night, insignificant in itself, is in one respect worthy of note. The sneaking ill-will manifested by ministers in the Houle of Commons m►y become open hostility in the House of Lords, but the rejection of the compromise now offered is certain to be followed next year by absolute and uncon ditional repeal. THE 601 sassordow, dined d Wilde at Ikariboroagh- To-night the Chancellor of the Exchequer will explain to parliament the details of his measure for transferring the telegraphs of the United Kingdom to the control of the Post-office. In doing so, the Telegraph thinks he will possess the immense advantage of proposing a step which the nation is prepared to welcome ; he has only to lead, not to shape, the course dictated by public opinion. By the discussion which the subject has undergone, and by a larger experienoe of the evils of the present system, the way has been most e trectually cleared for a thorough change, and that cheese will be accepted all the more re►dily in proportion as it is radical and sweeping. The Tele graph estimates that a transfer of the stock, rights, and goodwill of the four companies will not be obtained for less than three millions sterling, sad this could be raised at an annual charge of leu than 80,0001. The two leading die• triot offices in the metropolis will naturally be selected as central telegr►phic stations, while subordinate ones will be established et all the district sorting and receiving came. The same arrangement may be carried out in the leading towns of the United Kingdom, and of mune eon• noting wires would attach each to the other, and all alike to the metropolitan centre. The smaller offices scattered over London and the provinces may be used, where there ere no wine, as plans of deposit far We graphic menages, giving the sender his choice of &ankh ing wholly by wire or partly by post. Even pillar boxes may be utilised for the same purpose, and any Moony,- Menai as to payment maybe obviated by the use of stamps. The ordinary letter-carriers may in pert be employed as messenger, though a servile of express centers ought of course to be organised for special occasion and extra pay ment.

Aytoun intends on the reading of the order of the day for going into committee on Representa tion :of the People (Scotland) Bill, in the event of Mr. Baxter's motion not being earned, to move, " That it be an instruction to the committee, that, instead of adding to the numbers of the hones, they bars power to take one seat from boroughs in England having, by the census re turns of 1861, lees than 12,000 inhabitants." On the second reading of Representation of the People (Ireland) Bill Mr. Reardon will move " That the franchisee and mode of taking votes at iffeeliens be Ane tralia be extended to Ireland, vii, resident assioeill sof trsge sad vote by ballot ; that no borough be diemnsidneff. but that the boundary of any borough having lees dm 6,000 inhabitants be extended in order to imbeds web a population ; that in order to place the representation of the people of Ireland on an equality with that of Englemi and Wiles to the extern* of her population, via., 6,11011,1011, forty additional nienitises be given to Ireland, being Win same propoetion es lbeand, of ow member for 'MY 40,000 of her people." The Daily sews observes that, though much remains to be done, yet by the efforts of some enlightened MINI, and by the pressure of foreign criticism, the Etonian govern ment hoc, by slow degrees, been brought to form some dim conception of the theory of free teed* and of its prae ideal operation. The bureaucracy of St. Petersburg, how ever, have hitherto proved themselves altogether incapable of making any use of their new lights, sad with every desire to promote the imennantrial interests of their country have ridiculously and ncisoldevously blundered in their attempts.

Marshal MacMahon, Duke of Magenta, Governor General of Algeria, made • speech in the Senate yesterday on the bill for granting two millions of franca towards the relief of the distress in that colony, which was naturally eagerly listened to in consequence of the high rank of the speaker, the esteem in which he is generally held, and his un rivalled sources of information. Great applause followed the speech. After s few remarks from Cardinal Donnet, Archbishop of Bordeaux, who thought the subsidy very inade quate, the bill was voted newt. con. in the consti tutional form—namely, that the Senate did not oppose its promulgation. M. (]reeler, who was the reporter on the Army Bill, is named reporter on the budget. It is rumoured that he is by no means inclined to pass M. Magne's estimates with a carte bkstiche. The Sport says the Emperor intends shortly to pay a visit to his cousin, the Princess Baciocchi, who is now convalescent, at her farm in Brittany, after the sad accident which broke her leg. In this case the Emperor will pass a few hours at Rennes. The Bourse was considerably agitated by a rumour that the coming loan, the emission of which has been so unaccountably postponed, will be 760 millions, instead of the 450 originally an nonsesd. It is said that the budget committee is of opinion that the smaller sum is quite roads l gnat* to meet existing difficulties. Rent* fell 25c. for cash and 160. for account, doming at 09fr. in each case. Italian fell 20c. ; Credit Fonder, Mr. 20c. ; and Comptoir d'Esoompte, 2fr. 50c. hiobilier dosed without change, but railways were all considerably lower.

When sixty or seventy years ago, Ike difficulty of the Irish establishment first arose. a presented itself under the form of endowing and the Roman catholic church by the side a is the of the protestant church. The notion of parting with the benefits of the established chervil al had not then become one of the elements of discussion. This his been introduced into the question partly, no doubt, by the external action of the English liberation:Me, partly also by the difficulties thrown m the way of such a scheme by the Roman catholic" themselves. It may be that the combined forces of these two streams will be too powerful to resist. But II la worth while remarking that dispaseionate observers seem generally agreed in considering that, if met a solu tion is adopted, it will be not u the best, but 33 the all one which existing circumstances will allow—per* , es in itself the worst, except for the pressure of thee practical difficulties. It ia probably admitted on 21 1 sides that, on the one hand, the dependence of the Roman catholic clang on their flocks for subsistence. and on a foreign prince for dignity and rank, which no forms the worst feature of the Irish eccledoticsi system in the eyes of all reasonable men, would remain undiminished. In so other country in Europe hoe the Raman eatholio clergy refused the endowment and control of the State. No other government in Europe Roman catholic or protestant, would willingly lose cud an opportunity of guarding and guiding so powerful is element in the national life. And, on the other hal it seems also agreed—indeed by NOM it is put forward is • reason for dmestehlishing the protestant church—Oa in that ease the vehemence of the Orange party. sox :rune . :l eurrible and moderated ., u t a som in e au degr tntioc ee , by the in:er e loose on • new career of proselyti s m and liarceMod. which certainly would not tend to increase the harmony between the two churches. This, again. is • state of things which no statesman, no Isage-mindedehristianw olLi naturally desire, however much he may be constrained in acquiesce in it as as escape from immediate era', and concession to urgent demands. Ido not in these relearn eater on the question of the mode of dealing with ' ha Irish establishment.
