" LIBERAL" CIIAMPIOX OP ASCENDANCY. Arc acceini.listed writer, who Las touched almost every topic of literary, political, and theological criticism, has lately, in the character of a Liberal, raised a protest against the Liberal policy in Ireland. If the letter which "W. It. 0." has addressed to the Prm-rern Oezrttf were considered only in its pro- Lshk effat upon members of the party to which the writer still professes to belong, it might pass without r.ctice. Lrgrenet.t it centains none ; it does nes prc,fe.st c•.i.tain euy • and its assertions have 16,Ail a tlesie-ar.d. times refute.l. But "W. R. Cf.'s" letter re.lly addressed to the Conservative pre judi:es wiiich it adopts And reinforces. Though ree: , to fltr• P(.71-1,0/ G‘r:cfee, it was pro 1. abli written to lie queted by the fitanderd, and to be p..t forwerd es the views of a courageous dieser.tient, v. 1:o p refers principles to party, and has no ino!ive to essociate himself with a factious bid for office. A short time since some scandal was cre aZed is Belgium by the discovery that the corre sperelent of a Paris jeernal, who had strenu reedy erlsioeated the annexation of Belgium to Frere_e, was a Parisian in disguise. We do not attribute: ar.y such snbterfuge to " W. R. 0." Ile believes him:-elf to be a Liberal ; and, though he facade to sereen all but his initials from the ribliC, Pia to appear only as a " man of " three lettere," yet his name and writings are perfectly wall known. But it is time surely that the nornenclatnro of party was revised, and that the names which describe a man's political connetion should be adopted with some reference to preeetit realities rather than to old associations. Pde do not dispute." W. R. o.'a" right to the title of Liberal in that "truly liberal" sense in which Mr. Cie aAELE affecbi the name. Ifs is quite as much a Whig, we dare say, as the Duke of PrItTrAP(T), or as Lord Firawrtern, who professes to 11.. the rsomunent of the principles of 1688, or ai. Lord Danny himself, who claims to have been al ways faithful to tho principles of 1834. But tivw. eminent and respectable persona see that the Liberalism of a paid generation is the Cower vetian of the present ; and we are surprised that " W.. R. 0." does not perceive it too. For some y-'srs be bas trs-c in active opposition to the o'doy of his party on nearly evr,ry great queaeion that has engaged it. His views on Reform are those of tho dissentient minority of Lord DERIlfa cabinet. He sympathised with the floathern slavehollers as he sympathises with Protestant ascendancy in Ireland. Ocivernment by minorities is the fundamental article cf "SW. R. o.'s " creed ; and government by mino rities mesa, in the end, goverernent for mice - rithst. Nevertheles... wa do not see how our Tory friends can accept " W. R. G.'a " alliance, for his Toryism. on Church questions at least, has a different root• from theirs. It is the Toryism of tbn type of BarmfoullOlC6, Grimm. and Huns.

MUZZLED DOGS. i r i, ittre:y time lair Rummel) blayan's edict bad eapired. The westber w eatmarial, great costa and ',rape begin to be maul on journeys and at night, yet precautions which wer. con - femedly taken against the effects of hot weather remain in full force, and, as we see from the police reports, an unmurded dog is promptly taken Wl* custody.. of . 14t rice she animal noke kliewn as' e E Mend . man will gradaally men oom 'final in. &Olden, ant 'a strati** , a‘ture, binineewniroboseis of the alepkeet . wits shirking, skulking, propensities 41 the human criminal will be reared up in its stead. It is im possible, aooording to the Darwinian theory, that this permanent muzzling can be without its elect upon our breed of dogs. They will be brought up to regard the false noses of steel and iron whist the most humane muzzles resemble, as natural appendages, like tails; and strops and buckles outside the mouth will seem part of tho order of things, like tongue and teeth within it. A policeman will become an object of instinctive antipathy, and the familiar "Fat ! good dog. Pet. then !" will , de note the presence or approach of the funotionary in the oilskin cape just as it does that of a rat or cat now. The finer bleeds will be warranted by the dealers to noes one of Sir RICHARD Ilerira's men whether in uniform or out of it ; and from the 'hound of the sportsman to the toy-dog of the drawing-room we shall trace a new type of creature, owing its development to Scotland-yard. We venture to think those conse quences have not been sufficiently weighed. When the police regulation concerning muzzles was issued first it was laughed at ass crotchet of the aged First Commissioner, and some physiologists went so far as to condemn the alleged connexion between the dog days and hydrophobia at an exploded superstition. But whatever may have been the real usefulness of a general muzzling in the hot weather it is clear that the time for it is past. The invalid, living next door to the police station, who complained of the ill-conditioned hewlings of the dogs confined there; the drover who found his faithful servant and companion had been taken away while he in dulged in a dose ; and the Irishman taken into custody for shaking a policeman's arms until his black retriever got away, have all more or loss of reason on their side. Sir RICHARD MAYNE himself would be puzzled to define the good likely to arrive from this oontinned enforcement of a harsh law, and in the interest of dumb animals we trust to soon hear that dogs are permitted to go in a state of nature without punishment from Scotland-yard. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) TIM LAM ?W CH zirenotr. The Times thinks very little can bo built on the government success in the rejection of M. Dufaure, for the administration can make pretty sure of the triumph of their candidate in almost any given locality. In a general election the government would lose the advantage of its artificial compactness. It is in the Emperor's refusal to brook an honest legal opposition that the great and only danger for his dynasty consists. Had the election of the Var had the same result as that of the Jura, it was u sorted, the Emperor had no other resource left than in a declaration of war. That is tantamount to saying that, like the Eastern Monarch, he would have hidden his dr. feat and death in the destruction and conflagration of his royal palace. A war such as the Emperor of the French could now engage in would only be likely to ruin France without saving her Sovereign. VIE INTERNATIONAL 00NORI8IS AT BRT3dEL3. The Daily Neva congratulates the working men that their congreas at Brussels has declined to assume a hostile attitude toward the introduction of machinery into the various departments of labour, but has recommended that working men shall everywhere endeavour to secure for themselves a fair share of the increased profits arising from the use of such machinery. There is no principle that can oppose any new application of machinery what ever which would not equally abolish all, and logically remit mankind to the conditions of savage life. A new machine releases capital which instinctively seeks to re invent itself to advantage, and experience has shown that machinery has invariably multiplied employments. and wherever it is planted tends again to produce machinery, 80 passing on to new investments, involving a multiplica tion of means and methods, each of which becomes a fresh centre calling about it new labourers. A machine, more over, releases the labourer no less than capital. Where it has not gone we still see diseased and Ignorant labourers, the victims of oppressors, while • steady growth in education, wealth, and influence has unfailingly marked those countries where invention has been meet active, and where science has been most widely introduced into all del artmeuts of work. THE MARQUIS OF nrrE. Ilcmarkable instances of long minorities, observes the rot, are common enough, but that of the Marquis of Bute is peculiar, from the fact of hie father dying when he was but six months old, leaving an income, oven then very great, to roll up into the colossal fortune now at his• disposal. " What will he do with it !" is • momentous question for one of his age and station to have to resolve. He will be beset by temptations and coenselled, it may be, by enemies in the garb of friends. In a word, he will have to decide whether he will become a brilliant non. entity or an animating moving power in the country. WOMATeS MUNCH'S& Mr. Denman. hf.r. for Tiverton, writing to a lady in Scotland, declares his opinion that a judge has nothing to do with the intent of the House of Commons, but must deal with the plain text of the act. "Itis a pure question of law, and, I think, a very arguable ono as it stands." There seems to be, therefore (says the Doily Neva), some ground for believing that the revising barristers who lightly laughed the ladies out of court may have their judgment impugned, if not reversed. The ladies them selves appear to be bent upon obtaining an authoritative decision of the question ; and we may look without appre hension to the contingency of a verdict in their favour. Indeed, it is rather gratifying than otherwise to find, in these later days of the world, such a spirited and good-humoured reiteration of the old claim preferred by Terence's heroine—" Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto." What ever effect the change might have, it would, the Times believes, be extremely injurious to the position of women, and would involve no advantage whatever. They have at present the privileges and the protection of the weak. Let them undertake to defend themselves, and they must be content with the bare rights they can enforce. Instead of gaining any additional rights, they would risk some of the rights they possess ; and they would inevitably loge the peculiar influence which is now derived from their very subordination. YR. ROEBUCICB AUDI:Mi. The Stew notices that Mr. Roebuck never mentions in his address the name of Mr. Gladstone, but goes out of his way to excuse himself, as it were, for what nobody has ever yet dreamed of charging him with, a too exuberant courtesy and too tolerant spirit. " Age has made him more tole- rant, more patient." He can now see, he says, what is good in the opposite party—though it does not appear that he has yet learned to see what is good in Ms own party. "Liberal politicians," he adds, " have no monopoly of wis dom and virtue," which is probably a roundabout way of saying that they are mostly fools or rogues. He has in sulted America, he has insulted Ireland, he has insulted the working men of England, he has repeatedly insulted Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright. Uwe rightly understand the duties of a liberal constituency, Ehaffteld should not endure being misrepresented by such a man, but, in spite of pathos, bombast, and flattery, should, to use words which Mr. Roebuck has himself supplied, "discard him and treat him with something very like contempt."

In our position, we, who may be spared fur a short time, will be able to look quietly on, our church having cen turies ago pawed through these very changes which seem now to be imminent to the religious establishments of this land. We have passed through the storm, which swept away from us all our earthly things. But it could not affect the divine authority of the church ; and during the quiet of succeeding years the church has gradually been recovering from her depression ; and now that we have survived our evil days, when I look around, I, for one, do not regret that our church is free, and dependent upon the zeal and love of her faithful members. I believe, brethren, if we continue to labour earnestly in faith, and to walk in the rig media, upholding catholic dogma, which is evangelical truth, and avoiding either, in ritual or otherwise, things which have hitherto been considered Roman catholic, there is a great future for our church. When the threatening storm come* it cannot touch us, except in our sympathy with this* affected, who are in communion with us. But we may do good to them—our suffering patience, and constant witness to certain prin ciples, may be an example ; our organisation may be a guide, and our increasing prosperity may be an encourage ment to churches who have to dependoipon their divine constitution, in the promises of Gist end the alms of the faithful, instead of the authority of human Law, and the favour of earthly princes. —Even Ms Charge of the Bitbop of Aberdeen, 1868. RITUALISM AND THE Pali v lIEAD.—Bone of the leading ritualists have suddenly found out that there is such a thing as going too tar. Like more common. place people they find they must draw the line some where, and they have made up their minds where they must draw it. It is not Romanist doctrine which has alarmed them; nor the offended protestantiam of the English people ; nor the danger their pranks occasion to the established church ; but it is a little want of tut* ou the part of some country ritualists. The splendid pageant culled the "harvest home" at Haydock was the occasion of a " scandal " at which the ritualist world is up in arms. The country p eople brought their o ff erings to decorate the altar, and among them were eggs, pate of butter, and, most astounding of all, a pig's head. " That pig'• bead has been a bits worn to the ritualists. It is so dreadfully vulgar that young ladies will be shocked, and if young ladies are shocked it is all over with ritualism. So ntiudi= has drawn a line at last, and has drawn it at a pig's bead. Yet if the thanksgiving had any meaning. the pig's head was by no means out of place. It would not look well among the corn, and flowers, and fruit; but it was as much a thing to be thankful for as they were. The pig is as much to the labourer as the corn-field to the farmer. It is the labourer's harvest, and his whole prosperity may depend upon its welfare. But it one - class of good things are represented at the altar, why not another ? If the farmer brings a sample of his sheaves, and the gar dener of his fruits and flowers, why not the humble la bourer his pig Y It is not a question of taste, but of gra titude, and the severe literalism of rustic simplicity is as thankful for its pig as for its potatoes, its cabbages, or its oorn. The vary fact that people are disgusted at this apparition of the pig among the gilts of Heaven shows how purely a thing of taste sad sentiment ritualism is. These pool people thought of the thankfulness—their teachers thought of the pageant. The one expressed their religious gratitude—the other only indulged their testae. Let us be thankful, they say. for "the corn, the oil, the psuple wine," but lot us do it in a way that 100 pretty Ifring of the gifts of Provi donee to desk the altar, but bring only those which sound poetical to and are showy to look at.

The observations made by the Emperor to the generals who accompanied him to tho railway station, after leaving the Camp of Chilona, have been variously commented upon by the several journals. If his Majesty cannot open his mouth to utt 'r tho most moderate expressions without their being seized upon by the journals as indica tions of coming war, the imperial reticence seems to be hardly less unfortunat.. Re told the generals he would say nothing to them, for the masons stated; and would. therefore, confine him self to expreasing his satisfaction at their zeal anti devotion. Th. Emperor's remarks Are looked upon as extraordinary, and many people are of opinion that they art , eerhinly ao gv od augury of pew.. Those persons say that the situ ation of 'Hilltop. is such, and the feeling of mis trust so general, that the head of the state is com pelled to speak to annouree that he will say nothing. since whatever hr may say will be looked upon as prognostics of war. This declaration is certainly a remarkaltit• one. An.l if 'mvthirg c ould add to the gen.ral uneasiness it i 3 assuredly such a confession as this. Besitl.s. does it not of itself place the ruler cf France in a very questionable position Is there not son:o. thing eompromi:ing to the dignity c i the sovereign, whew he feels that he ear. no long •c repeat his well-blown pacific assertions without .i general denial of his language? In whatever light this foreed silence of Napoleon 111. on so vital a question as peace or war may be regarded. it is only too clear that a want of oonfitienee in the maintenance of peace does exist to a v"ry great extent, anti it is equally clear that its existenct.• has been confirmed by the Emperor himself. The result of the election of Toulon has just been made known in Paris. The Minister of the Interior has this time gained a signal victory over his anta gonist, anti carried hi, man (M. Peyrac) by 17,47. i votes against 12.000 for the independent candi date, M. Dufaum The Figaro, commenting upon this result of government influence. congratulates the electors that the Minister of the Interior did not have recourse to threats. blows, or personal violence of any description and says that, so far. his conduct will serve as a good precedent. It is said that the Emperor anti Empress and Prince Imperial. on quitting Fontainebleau for Biarritz, not only travelled inoognits . but left the Palace in n manner lo avoid every kind of ovation, and leave taking, entering close zar riages, which awaited them in the small oval court. Their Majesties will not stay at Biarritz more than a month, and in returning will instal themselves at St. Cloud before departing for Compiegne.

In emery lejelge dehomination there is precisely the same 11:10fEedent of thought as that which in the Anglican ootrununion is called by the name of Broad Church. Bishop OOLIBIOO is in the Church, but perhaps he is the only man whom his prosecetofs could not have harassed into resignation or recentation. AU this, how ever, has very little relation to a country in which the • clergy who ass setbycot to the bene ficent control 'of the Beane minister only to one-eighth of the population, and in which the uncontrolled sacekies is the priest of nearly all the renstinder. "W. R. 0.'6" doc trine is, however, an anachronism. He speaks of the idt4 mire of onr Reformation being the theory of the subordination of the Church to the State. But this theory had relation to a state of society in which the Church and State were held to be conterminous; they were the nation viewed under different aspects, or rather they were two sides of the Royal authority, for the nation was taken very little into account. The doctrine bore ite natural fruit, not in the toleration of diversi ties but in the persecution of Non-conformity. It is quite inapplicable to an ago of voluntary religious associatiorui, in which a majority of the people in every part of the Empire, and an over whelming majority in Ireland, are handed over to the uncontrolled seen-dim, and find themselves per fectly able to deal with him. "W. R. G." is not perfectly consistent with him self. He describes the scheme of Mr. GLADSTONE as en attempt " to weaken and disarm a church " which is friendly to the British connexion and " Imperial rule, in order to gratify, with " out attempting to curb, or control, or " neutralise a church which has of late " years shown itself inimical to both." If disestablishment will weaken and disarm the Protestant church, what becomes of " W. R. G.'s" fear that it should make the clergy the sovereign and oppressor of the laity ? How can the very same policy weaken and disarm the clergy of one Church, and leave the other uncurbed, uncontrolled, nnneutralised ? Ii a powerful Church needs to be combated by a powerful Church, "W. R. G." has shown that impartial disesta blishment is the way to this end. But he at once exaggerates the power, and does some injustice to the character of the Roman catholic clergy. Mr. CHICHIJIMA FORTESCCE end Lord MAYO do not hold that that clergy has shown itself hostile to the British connexion and the imperial rule. If Catholicism in the character it assumes in Ireland, is hostile, as "W. B. G." con tends, to the well-being of the country, ita character is determined by the excep tional position which it occupies, a posi tion which "W. R. G." would perpetuate. " Th - lßoman catholic clergy," says "W. 8.G.," " encourage early and improvident marriages; " they discourage emigration ; they support the " rasasantry in resisting the consolidation of farms " into acreages on which a family can live in de " cency and comfort : they set their faces obsti " nately against the system of mixed education." If they do so, theyshow how vain are " W. R.G.'s" alarms. For the birth rate in Ireland is lower, and the percentage of marriages is fewer than in any part of the United Kingdom ; the consolidation of farms has gone, and i. going on with rapidity; and Roman Catholic children attended the mixed schools in undiminislusl numbers. To ourselves it is clear that, as in America, so in Ireland, reli gious equality will loosen the hold of the Roman Catholic priesthood over their flocks; and that, as in Europe, it will give rise to a liberal lay oppo sition to the domination of the isarti pr.ltre. ENOLISE AND AMERICAN EMI TIONEERINO. ' A sensible political writer in America informs us, with the calmness of assured conviction, that the art of electioneering is unknown among English politicians. The whole system has to be inaugu rated. We understand his argument to be that the great gain arising out of the Reform Bill is not to he wrought from above down to the people, but is to originate and work upward from the people themselves. In other words, the real lasting Material change to a more popular form of government in England will only be consummated when the masses here acquire the ability to become instrumental in selecting their own candidates. At present certain gentlemen conic forward and nominate themselves to the voters, asking for suffrages on the ground that they are respectively Liberals or Conservatives. The whole act of the voter consists in voting for the one or the other. Consequently, there has not yet appeared a single specimen of a new class of candidates. The pre sent men still belong to the class who regard them seh es as the teachers, leaders, and governors of the people ; who never dream of seeking new ideas from among the people. While in America the mass of voters in each party dictates what shall be the measures and what the principles of the party, in England the same persons simply by their cotes signify that they have more confidence in the Liberal than in the Conservative leader. Some of this statement is only partially true so far as we are concerned, but it is Mteresting as an outside view. We should add too, that our censor allows that though the English system of unquestioned leadership may not be very good, the evil in it will be reduced to a minimum when it strengthens the hands of a conscientious, and able Liberal statesman like Mr. 01,A !MOW& PROGRESS OF -YEW ZE.IL.I 1, We are favoured by the genirs: New Zealand with a copy of oftici3l ',v.. principal reaulta of tho ceusta of the , •I)vy : iken on night of December 19, 1867.
