Government was asked last night whether it was not time to alter the law under which at present a judge, in passing sentence on persons convicted of high treason, is compelled to give a number of orders as to the butchery of their bodies after death. At Dublin, last week, sentence was pronounced upon two men, who were ordered to be dragged on a hurdle to the place of execution, to be decapitated, and to have their bodies divided into four quarters and placed at the disposal of her 31v.1 esry and her advisers. Mr. CHARLES GILPIN, who asked the question, was of opinion that the law under which this sentence was pronounced needs to be altered to bring it into harmony with the judgment and feeling of our age. Lord NAAS, speaking in the name of the Government, thought not ; and the reason he assigned for that opinion is worth notice. He would maintain the sentence in its present form, because it is certain not to be executed. "It was," he said, "in the " power of the Crown to remit any portion of the " sentence, and as no Government would autho " rise the execution of any criminal convicted of " high treason in a mode different from other " criminals, he saw no present necessity for any " alteration in the law." The answer might have been different. Mr. GILPIN might have been told that although, in the cases of Bum( z and Doers, the sentence would not be executed in all its revolting details, yet other cases might arise for carrying it into effect, and that there fore the present form would be retained. Lord if ass is satisfied, however, that no such cases can arise. He is sure that no Government would authorise the treatment of prisoners in this savage way, so the judges are to continue directing them to do so. To our apprehension this seems a very Hiber nian anode of reasoning. It has, moreover, its practical inconvenience. If it is certain that no Government in future will draw and quarter its criminals, it must be because the practice is too low and inhuman for it to stoop to. But why should the judiciary not have the same privilege as the executive? Why should one parade its civilization and refinement, and the other be com pelled to talk the language of barbarism according to the statute ? That which it is beneath the SECRETARY of STATE and the Sheriffs to do, the Judge should not be required to order. It may be said that Lord NA tH'S explana tion reduces the question to one of taste. But taste, when it attaches itself to the moral feel ings, is too important to be trifled with, and Lord lisas informs us that the Executive does keep a taste for its own use, and he even declares its dic tates at the expense of the judges. There is an other important point to be noticed. The autho rity of the law is more impaired than it could be by any other means when sentences are pro nounced which the judges, the prisoners, and the public know beforehand will not take effect. The experienced and intelligent portion of the public may adjust their minds to such an anomaly ; but upon the ignorant, who most be in fluenced chiefly through their impressions, the effect is most pernicious. Instead of learning to reverence the law in its calm, majestic aspect, they get to think of it as a mouthing bully, seek ing to terrify them by bugbears. There are prac tical reasons for amending the law. Lord NAAS offered none on the other side, and as he is far too sensible a man to respect a law which cannot be executed, we can only suppose that he objects to any change for fear of offending the prejudices of the less enlightened members of his party. Now that the Government has admitted the principle of a Lodger Franchise, wo may take leave to ask what importance can any longer attach to the personal rating of householders. We all know how tenaciously the Government has clung to the principle of personal rating as the safeguard of the extension of the suffrage in the boroughs. It was not enough that a man paid his rent to the landlord, and his rates—his full rates, as Mr. DISRAELI now admits—to the parish through the landlord. The householder must not only pay his full rates, but he must pay them in a particular way. Without this atirulation the proposed extension of the suffrage would be unsafe, the Constitution would be endangered, and rather than be responsible for such risks Lord DERBY would give up the Reform Bill. Thus personal rating attained to the dignity of a " great principle." To us it has always appeared the most fanciful and arbitrary of con ditions, and Mr. DisitAELl'S acceptance of a ledger franchise now comes to prove it. A lodger franchise cannot be guarded by ratepaying claims, although nobody will affirm that it has less need to be gua ranteed than household suffrage, and nevertheless THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 8, 1867. Mr. D:,,itAELI accepts it. The only inference from his conduct is that the condition of personal pay ment of rates has been introduced because it is foreseen that it will prove a practical limitation of the franchise. As a pretended principle, it is utterly exploded ; but it is an undeniably good Tory expedient. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) suthoent Ut is case where the histatutton itself is uue of great anomaly. In the meantime, if parliamentary reform is finally settled this year, any government that may be in power will do well to institute inquiries as to the best means of reconciling the rights of property with the demands of justice and common sense. The Daily hers sees in the apologetic speeches deli vered on Sir John Gray's motion fresh illustration of the fact that argument on the subject is exhausted. But though the public mind does not need to be convinced, the public conscience needs to be quickened. The speeches of Mr. Gladstone and Mr. C. Fortescue give reasons for hoping that we are on the verge of a healthy change in this respect. The phase of liberal opinion which was re presented by the careless la xity of Lord Palmerston and the cold moral scepticism of Sir G. C. Lewis is passing away. Mr. Fortescue favours, not wisely, the Daily News, thinks, the distribution of the ecclesiastical revenues amongst the several churches, but this alternative would create new difficulties of a perpetually recurring and irritating nature. The discussion, however, on this point, is premature. There will be no ditliculiy, when the question becomes urgent, in discovering what to do with half.a-million • year of public money. Mr. Gladstone, unlike the late Secretary for Ireland, declined to enforce his speech by his vote —(if he had done so his example might have turned the nicely-balanced division)—on the ground that the tune for action bad not come. By voting for Sir John Gray's motion he would have hastened the advent of that time. The Telegraph thinks Mr. Gla•latone's speech made magnificent amends for the conclusion at which be arrived. The cheers, says the Star, which broke from the liberal benches when Mr. Gladstone concluded the strongest speech ever made on the subject by a statesman in his position, must have carried alarm to many minds incapable of being oonvinoed by his arguments. Mr. Lefroy and Lord Naas are quite right in concluding that ➢lr. Glad stone only postpones his action, and Mr. Gladstone him• self hinted that he would not postpone it long. of unprofitable extensions will at once be given up. If such a course were generally adopted, the railway interests of the country would receive incalculable benefit. The Star observes with s►tisfaction that Mr. P. A. Tay lor has given notice of his intention to move that Mr. Walpole's bill on meetings in the parks be read " this day three months." He ought to have the support of all all liberals, and indeed of all independent conservatives, in his opposition to so unnecesiary, incoherent, and offen. sive a measure.

And whether by the terms of the third clause, requiring that the person to be registered shall have been an inhabitant occupier for 12 months, it is intended to require that he shall have re sided during that period? Mr. Neste intends on Thursday to ask the Home Secretary who were the persons on whom notion had been served that they would be proceeded against as trespassers if they held a meeting in Hyde-park, what would be the nature of such proceedings, and whether instructions had been given to the law officers of the crown to institute proceedings without delay against those persons who bad been served with notices.

TH6 CON YE=NUL Notwithstanding the statement that England is unwilling to assume the riponsibility of the guarantee with others of the neutralisation of Luxemburg, the Times believes the objects of the Conference will be not only satisfactorily but even speedily attained. This neutralisa tion, which has been so successful with Switzerland, maybe easily arranged by the neutral Powers, as it is naturally M aurod by the mutual jealousy of the two colossal States, between which it is thrown by nature almost as a wedge. Belgium and Holland are equally interested in this neu traliaatiou, and could they be made to arrange that matter of Luxemburg to their mutual satisfaction, it is clear that such a compact of mutual support could be stipulated be tween them as would enable them to maintain their neutral position with at least as much firmness as Switzer land contrives to hold her own. That all the powers now in conference will be required to guarantee the neutrality of the territory is a matter which admits of little doubt ; hut their obligations will not sit heavily upon them, and with Great Britain the obligation will be very nearly, if not absolutely, the same as that contracted towards the united kingdom of the Netherlands in 1814 and towards Belgium in 11430419. The Post says it is hoped the labours of the Conference will conclude on Saturday. The little which took place yesterday, and the remarks which were interchanged, were, it is understood, of a nature to justify a reasonable belief that before the termination of the present week the Luxemburg question will have been finally solved. If the requirement of an English guarantee means that whenever any government in France, of its own motion, or urged on by popular clamour, shall think it right to take possession of Luxemburg, now defenceless, this country is to regard it at once as a roams belli with France, the /Prof./ would certainly very much prefer that our government should not commit itself to so serious a re spowdbility. If au engagement of the kind is respected by us, it way do hereafter much injury to ourselves and others; and, if observed, its consequences may be still more serious. Perhaps tile beat way of getting over the difficulty to the satisfaction of ail parties would be to neutralise Luxemburg by annexing her to Belgium. The integrity of Belgium we have guaranteed, and are bound to defend, and one province more or less cannot make much difference in the obligation. The Teltwraph looks differently upon the matter, though it is not quite clear what construction it puts on the word " guarantee." It says that by agreeing to the Prus sian mislead we should not incur the slightest additional responsibility. The old guarantee, binding us to vindi cate the arrangement that annexed Luxemburg to Hol land, threatens to bring about merlons complications ; and the proposed agreement would simply translate that abso lute stipulation into a more modern guarantee, promising to Europe a new lease of tranquillity. THE IRI3H CHURCH. The Times trusts that the subject of the Irish church will not be left another session to the member for Kilkenny, but to some man of eloquence and political weight. Our contemporary has never herd but one argument for the establishment, and thst is the lack of • popular demand for its removal, but under their present political leaders even this practical acquiescence is coming to an end. On the ground of simple right and justice not a word is to be said for it, and so invidious is the position of some of its members that it seems probable the Irish church itself would make uo resistance to • scheme by which the enormities of the present system should be done away with. Mr. Oladstone's speech is a proof that the set tlement cannot be much longer delayed. Looked'upon as a manifesto of his principles, it would seem that it indicates the near coming of a time when the British parliament will devote itself fully and fairly to surmount the chief difficulty of Irish government. His conclusion obviously is that the removal of anomalies of detail would not he MISCIELLANZOUB TOPICS. The Times takes it that the manner in which the ques tion of ritualism will be dealt with by public authority is decided by the statement made by Lord Derby last night in the House of Lords. A royal commission will be issued to examine the rubric which affords an excuse for these novel practices, and at the same time, without touching the doctrines or teaching of the Book of Common Prayer, to take into consideration any other rubrics upon which disputed questions of ceremonial have arisen. Notwith standing individual differences of opinion, this decision, the Time. says, received a general acquiescence, and it was perhaps, the only passible compromise between the via lions modes of action which have been adopted. The report of the commiulon will doubtless render any subsequent measure easy of enactment. It must be con fessed, however, that though these flaunting dresses and childish toys might be abolished, the real danger to the church might still remain. That danger consists in the ex istence within her of a body of men who are actively dis seminating a system of principles utterly alien to her cha racter, inconsistent with her formularies, and fatal to her influence with the nation. This danger can only be met by bringing to bear against the superior but similar force of argument, of energy, and of public feeling. The Daily News notices with hopefulness the establish ment of the various chambers of agriculture in the country, oneof the last of which was that in Warwickshire. The differ ence between an association of this nature and one of the old-fashioned farmeri clubs, or show meetings, springs from and denotes the difference in the times. The Herald and Telegraph dwell on the position of the London and Brighton Company, a meeting of which takes place to-morrow. The Herald is unable to feel very sanguine upon the future of the company. Whether after paying preferential and debenture charges anything will remain for the ordinary shareholders depends upon the fulfilment of sundry favourable anticipations. The one really hopeful sign in the directors' report is the mention which is male of a posa:ble federation between their own, the London, Chatham, and Dover, and the South Eastern Railway Companies, of an adoption in the south-eastern part of the island of the same expedient which has proved ao successful in the north-eastern. The Telegraph pre sumes, from the Liagusgc of the directors, that the system irfre Irourt. OSBORN - E. MAY 7.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom ovz ow, coaasermanarT.) PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. The rumour which prevailed in Paris last night that the Conference had been adjourned, is said to have had its rise in the fact that Lord Stanley, apprehending a debate in parliament, last night, which might have necessitated a Cabinet Council to-day, had informed the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, and the other plenipotentiaries, that the Conference would probably have to be put off : but that the expected debate standing over, this notice was rescinded. A Luxemburg journal, the btu Laud, which since the King of Holland's bargain with the French Emperor was first made public has attracted attention by writing articles which might have been dictated by the Home office in Paris, says that the following four con ditions have been as good as agreed upon :-1. The evacuation of the fortress by the Prussian troops, at a very early day ; 2. The immediate dismantling of the fortress under the surveillance of foreign officers ; 3. No more troops to be kept in Luxem burg than are strictly necessary for police purposes ; and, 4. An engagement on the part of the King of Holland not to dispose of the Grand Duchy without the consent of the five great powers. This paragraph is quoted by all the Paris papers of this evening, but it must evidently be taken with all re serve. There is quite as much doubt as there was yes terday as to the result of the Conference. The rise at the Bourse, when there was but a small amount of business done, is attributed en tirely to the manoeuvre of placarding " discounts" for speculative purposes, which is now carried to an extent qualified by many as reprehensible and fraudulent. The France says the rumour of a coming loan of 500 millions is utterly unfounded ; but the Liberte says all sensible people know that whether there is war or not a loan there must be to pay for the warlike . preparations already made. Rente rose 25e. for cash and 32ic. for account, closing at 681 r. 25c. and 68fr. 12ic. Mobilier rose 12fr.50c., and Italian 05c. The Presse, apropos of the news that Bavaria has finally joined the Northern Confederation, throws out a hint that France may possibly object in the Conference that she does not know who she is con tracting with, that there is no such power as Prussia having a legal international existence, and that nothing which the Prussian plenipotentiary may sign can be relied upon as binding the Ger many " one and indivisible," which seems fast assuming form and body. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) WRDNFADAT, MAT 8, ♦.Y. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS DAY.) The home met et 12 o'clock. HYPOTHEC ABOLITION (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. CARNEGIE moved the second reading of this bilL The dislike existing amongst the Scotch farmers to th e law of hypothec was, he said, of old date ; but a recent case (Barnes v. AUen) had very much intendfied that dislike, and, in his opinion, made legislation flexing. A royal commission had been appointed to inquire into the subject. and had made a report and recommendations, which, however, did not satisfy the Scottish fanners. From that report be (Kr. Carnegie), as one of the coni to 6. 'loners, had dissented along with four others, but never. toeless government had made it the basis of a bilL That bill did not satisfy the farmers, who were of opinion that nothing short of total abolition of the Law of hypothec would be satisfactory, The nature of the law of hypothec as contrasted with the English law of distress was this, that the crop i. live stock might be sequestrated for the rent of the current year, and might be followed by the landlord and seized where. ever it was found, and no matter in whose ponesrion. In , recent case it had been held that the landlord could seize 1 ' crop of oats even after it had been sold and converted into meal in the store of a middleman. He (Mr. Carneie) thought the power could go only one step further, and p re . serve the landlord's right even after the meal had been eon. vertel into porridge. (A laugh.) Mr. H. BAILLIE moved that the bill be read that drc six months, observing that the bill of the government o^ the same subject would meet the necessities of the Mite Mr. BAXTER, in supporting the bill, said he had never met with a tenant fanner who was not in favour of it, oh. ject. The present law was entirely feudal. Mr. B. COCHRANE opposed the bill, which, be was not supported by the report of the royal commimion on the subject. (Left speaking.] 6411 N. Cape Clear 59.70 63 2.
