To change froqt in the face of an enemy is a proverbially hazardous movement. But there are times when, if this move be not made, a defeat must be voluntarily accepted. Mr. HORRYAN is reduced to this alternative. In the face of a hos tile constituency he has boldly endeavoured to strengthen his position by changing front. The electors of Stroud having reproached him with Toryism, he replies by professing doctrines which none but the most advanced Radicals have ad vocated. If the programme he has laid down be carried out to the letter, there will be no question hereafter as to the thoroughgoing character of Mr. Hor-siez,l'a opi nions on Reform. The Liberal candidates who am contending for his seat will have great difficulty in surpassing him as a speculative innovator. Should he fail to be re-elected, he will stand a good chance of obtaining a seat elsewhere. Many liberal Constituencies will gladly accept the services of one whose ability is beyond dispute, whose oratorical powers are exceptionally great, and whose id. us abo, a I:, form in the future Cr. leer, logic id, and t mieontly fitted fur practical :.pplicatioti. In tl:t- litua .II oi:smAN has been un cs•r.N , ledititei,an . Y lie bus often done good as iic in ilia of the Lateral cause. He is it than ulit,he putty a ...ld kite with it gi. • .

S;r Will inn RAE then endeavoured to pommel(' the 1 I/11PC into fomenting to propositions with regard to the Church of tiontland which, as Mr. lloitsm.tx showed in a powerful speech, would have had the result of converting the Scotch Church into a poli tical engine, and degrading it "as the Churches " of England and Ireland have been degraded, into en instrument of political warfare." From tins period he devoted himself to the discussion of the abuses in the Church. The bloated in comes which certain bishops then enjoyed were diminished owing to his exertions. His seal in the cause was most obnoxious to many of the, wail old Tories, who lookind upon a bishop - with as great veneration is did Dr. Nonnabli. 8 , late Colonel limitnnif frequently expressed his horror of the disrespectful language and saint ligious conduct with which, in his. opinion, Mr. HoesmAn was chargeable when he proposed to interfere with the pluralities and profits of the superior clergy. So pertinacious and incon venient was be in this course that the Government sometimes refrained from " making a house" when one of his motions on ecclesiastical topics was impending. When the propriety of repealing the Corn Laws was in dispute, and before Free-trade bad been a•xepted by the Literal party as the corner-stone of its policy, Mr. Holten/or distinguished himself as an advocate of repeal. In 1842 he told the house : --" Ever since I love been a member of this house, " and even before I had that honour, I have over " held and acted up to the opinion that the whole " system of our Corn-laws was impolitic and un " just—unjust in its principle and injurious in its " effects." Many Liberals of great reputation could not then have spoken words to the like effect. In process of time he obtained office in the Government. But ho utterly failed to show that his talent for adminis tration was on a par with his capacity as an ingenious speculator and a stirring speaker. As Stszetary for Ireland he was blamed for doing no work. He resigned the post on the ground that he had no work to do. It is difficult to determine whether the statement of those who complained of his conduct, or his own explanation, should be accepted as the true version of the case. It is certain, however, that the following will remain on record as embodying the popular belief respect ing the duties discharged by those who were then responsible for the government of Ireland : " CARLISLE did the dancing, HOUMA!! the hunt " ing, and L&ROOM the business." It is as an orator that Mr. HORMLL.O has chiefly distinguished himself in Parliament. No one can prepare and deliver a set speech with greater effect, provided that he treata a topic which affords him an opportunity for denouncing an institution or attacking a person. His fondness for invective may have had as great a share ae dislike to Re form, in his opposition to the Reform Bill of Karl RUMEII:B governments. Having a personal an tipathy to Earl RUSSILL, he could not forego any occasion for censuring his policy. Indeed, like nearlynil who entered the dame of Adullarn, he was a discontented politician, one whose aspira tions bad been ungratified, and whom disappoint ment had soured. That he should . now offer to serve with those he once reviled is partly owing to the fact that his favourite ecclesiastical grievance is to be dealt with by them. Ho has been uniformly consistent in opposing the Irish Church and abominating the bishops. There cannot, then, be anything more grateful to him than lend ing his aid to disestablish and diseudow the church which, as he said in 18:18, had gathered wealth " from the wants of a suffering and " slaughtered peasantry to support the doctrines " of a minority of the nation and the priesthood "of an alien faith." That he should propose to expel the bishops from Farb:anent is quite in ac cordance with his antecedents. That he should now propose the reform of the House of Lords, R 4 u complement to other reforms which have been either effected or are in contemplation, is creditable to his sagacity as a discerner of the wants of the age. On the whole, his backslidings as a Liberal are almost atoned for by his general conduct. But even if it were otherwise, he would still merit praise for his acuteness in perceiving, and his constancy in exposing, the hollowness of the Second Empire and the true character of the Third Nseor.voN. Few members of Parliament under stand the affairs of France better than Mr. HORS WAR. Words spoken by him in Iftrio may be appropriately repeated now, fur they have lost none of their appositeness or point. He then expressed his belief that the present Government of Fiance was " the most immoral Government in " Europe," and the Emperor of the FRENCU " the greatest enemy of peace in the world." •40 THE EXPRESS, SATIMPAy gv /** SEPTBMBER ,S, 181 8 . found is London, an4,Proa4l7 elks thisPhwTh those do not effect injurieurelly the /unease charades. of too prople of either loesilty.

We may be allowed to add that " to suppose " otherwise " would be to suppose that the Liberal electors of Sheffield will again commit the grie vous mistake of sending to Parliament such a re presentative as Mr. ROEBUCK. Sheffield has gained an enviable distinction by its hardware and an un enviable one by harbouring for years in impunity such a champion of the rights of labour as Mr. BROADICEAD,— -whom, by the by, Mr. RIEBUCK might have remembered when he talked of " the " assassinating Italian,"—and in consenting to be represented in Parliament by a man who, instead of setting an example of " kindness and gentle " feeling," has done his little worst to exasperate and inflame the relations between England and the United States, and who selects the occasion of a hospitable welcome to the American Minister to traduce and insult American institutions and the American people. We, who know Mr.Rotraucs, have learnt to regard him with a oortoin com passion, as what loon described— A hedgehog turned up the wrong way, Tormenting hitneelf with his prickles. At a friendly feast ho promotes the hilarity of the evening much in the same sense es tho olives of which the Irishman complained. But it becomes a grave question for the electors of Sheffield, if indeed they are sincerely solicitous of preserving peace and friendship with their American kinsmen, whether a man whose sole distinction in public life has been that of a death's head at a feast, and who, a BALA/ reversed, curses every cause be is sent to bless or compelled reluctantly to vote for, should be permitted by the favour of a large constituency to make himself the mouth piece of the English people. .

Among the many warlike rumours lately cir culated was one that a government placard was posted in front of the Finance Ministry, inviting tenders before to-morrow, September 5, for 3 : 198,400 bozo of powder to bo delivered in 1P36.9, A communi'qud to several journals, published in the first instance in the ihmiteur. says that the go vernment did not at once think it was worth while to rectify the mistake; but that finding misap prehension persists it thinks right to state that the ounizact in question has nothing whatever to do with war preparations, but relates only to tin canisters of powder for sporting purposes.

The Correctional Tribunal, which has now a new president named Lancelin, was occupied yesterday with the trial of the Figaro for having pub lished a report of the hearing of a civil action for libel by M. Rochefort against M. Mucha, alias de Bossy, in which the plaintiff obtained damages. It has hitherto been taken for granted that the law pro hibiting reports of libel cases applitsl only to criminal prosecutions. The Imperial Advocate, Cheerier, admitted that the question was a very arguable one, and that the text of the law was rather against him. He contended, however, that the spirit applied as much to civil as to criminal cases. M. Lisehatud, who appeared fLr the Figaro, said that he was diametrically opposed to M. Rochefort's political doctrines, but he should be ashamed of himself if, un that amount, ha akar& from - Sifa/hie u p on what he firmly believed to be the law. Ile contended that iu civil cases the long established practice was legal, and that, if publication of the arguments in the trial was prohibited, the libeller and not the libelled would be protected by the law. When M. Lachaud sat down, another case against the Fiyaro was called on, that in which the journal is incriminated for publishing a report of the trial on the prosecution of M. Pantouretut, and which it justifies on the ground that reports of libel cases in which public functionaries are the prosecutors form an exception to the general rule. M. laschaud observed that it was 6 o'cick. and that he should want at least two hours for the next case. The new president, with a courtesy which perhaps may be accounted fur by the fact that M. Lachaud is spoken of as a government candidate for Paris at the next election, said the pleasure of hearing him hail prevented the court from looking at the chick. The further hearing was adjourned for a week. Most unexpectedly, M. Rochefort antimony! that No. 13 of the Loafer/4e will be published to morrow in Paris, simultaneously with its pub lication abroad.

THE Mayor and Town Council and the Master Cutlers of Sheffield have availed themselves of the Garlic-et opportunity of effacing the disagreeable impression of English courtesy and civility which the speech of Mr. Roraven might have left upon the mind of the American Minister. The municipality have presented an address to Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON, in which they offer him their " best wishes that peace and tranquillity may " be ever preserved between the United States and " this empire." The Muster Cutler, on the part of the Company of Cutlers, has also presented an address to the representative of the United States, offering him " the right f fellowship," and recording the assuraboe ' - "truth and honour, " kindness and gentle f ' g, will preside over " and guide the councils f two peoples who " ought to entertain towards each other, not " merely feelings of -friendship, but the " warmest emotions of brotherly love." Both these addresses are - all that could be desired in sentiment and expreirsion. How ne cessary it had become to take the taste of Mr. Roa m:Yen out of Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON'S mouth, the Minister's written reply, which was read by the American Consul, bears significint witness. After responding in the most generous terms to the kind words of the Mayor and the Master Cutler, and paying some handsome compliments to the world-wide reputation of the Sheffield industry, Mr. REVEADY JOHNSON administered the following dignified and most deserved rebuke to Mr. ROMANIC : r My friend Mr. 110EDVCX, in his address last evening is this hall, stated that one of the frailties under which the l'nited States laboured in making an extended suffrage advantageous, was because of the character of a part of the population which we have received farm the other nations which, to use his own words, cousins of "a feculent torrent of all the mischief, tur bulent c. and vice of letaropo," awl be called mu as a witnees.

PAUL'S CATHEDRAL. Poi years past the churchyaid of At. Paul's Cathedral has been an n ee° 'Jo the public. Vaal very recently the w da a wilder :. new, in some parts, overgrown with malt , grass in others, a depository for dirt aid rubbish; and on all sides surrounded by a shabby corroded railing, which, on the west front at least, is us useless as it is hideous. At ciao time the Dean and Chapter, if we remember rightly, offered to remove the railing if the public would purchase a piece of ground near the Cathedral, and then in the market, in order to preserve it us an open space. The public did not or could not respond to this invitation, and the custodians of St. Paul's of course, freed from their engagement. But it must have surprised everyone that while :4 fund has been created and large sums of money collect, d for the internal decoration of the Cathedral, the churchyard itself has been left, till lately, in a condition reminding one very strongly of Leicester-square. We say till lately. for now a portion of the yard is gravelled and planted, and s ee m s t o h e we ll camel for. while the remainder, strange to say, continue 4 in its 01,1 and disreputable condition. The (it!' Terse explains the mystery. The space is, it seems, in charge of three bodies, viz., the Dean and Chapter, the parish of St. Gregory, and the l) .stl of St. Faith. St. Faith has done its part, St. Gregory haft done nothing, and is the owner of an unweeded garden, while the portion belonging to the Dean and Chapter ia disgrace to that body and to the City. Such are the evils of divided re sponsibility. The defect is patent, the necessity for reform is obvious, and for the credit of the metropolis it is to be hoped that the restoration of St. Paul's will include the churchyard as well as the interior of the building. 4• THE EARL.'• " THE Earl" was scratched fur the St.. Leger yesterday afternoon. Some facts are more elo quent than words ; and this is one of them. Simple minded outsiders, who have followed the carver of this remarkable animal since the beginning of the past year, and have watched his performs ncos and his non-performances with equal interest, must have come to the conclusion that the most valuable horse is not always the one that runs to win and wins, but rather the horse that runs to win and does not ie.. *IV ali hare on which the publlC atalta fo win, and which ha, a penput through its name within a week of the has. If the action of " DAT v. " is really to come off next November, this second sudden and unexplained disappearance of The Earl from his engagements will, perhaps, stimulate the curiosity of the cross examining counsel for the defendant. Iles Majesty the Queen and the junior members of the royal family, attended by the suite, are empected to arrive at Windsor Castle about the claw of the ensuing week.

On the subject of Lord Xayo's appointment. the Saturday Amino observes that, as Hoverter-General of Canada, or as governor of a great Australian colony, Lord Mayo would have been qualified, by good sense and courtoey of demeanour, to perform constitutional tune-' lions which require tact rather than originality or genius. In India ho may at any time be required to determine, at short notice, some question involving the fate of the empire, and it is no affront to him to say that, at a momentous crisis, he is not the statesman on whom the country would confidently rely. To the Satter-day Amino Mr. Horatian is an imprac ticable and a speculative statesman. Mr. Horsmen early won eliatiuetiou as a bishop-baiter, as a bishop-huitxr ho ends. As in Sir Harry Vane's case, we are disposed to echo Cromwell's pious impiety and irreverence. The Lord deliver us from Mr. Hemmen ! In mac of all the education bestowed on it, Toryism, ter the Ereminer, in administration, is untaught mid un teachable. Lord Mayo is made I iovernor-General of India end Canon is made Dean of Ripon. But there is no mistaking what these promotions are meant to Siguify. Ta defiance of everything worthy of the name of public opinb.n, they proclaim that in Church and State birth is held to outweigh merit, and violence is to be officially pre ferred to mere learning and virtue. Both the EXODII tier and the Saturday Review hint at the probability of h a d Mayo's appointment being cancelled by a liberal govern ment. Mr. Disraeli, observes the Spectlfor, has knighted Mr. E. W. Watt* member for Stockport, chairman of tho fkwath Eastern Railway Company, se general advocate for the railway interest whenever it wants to opprase the public, or drive a bargain with government, or get rid of a law which wets money and protects life.
