MiltaTOW was welcomed spontaneousness which hearts than their intellects. he had become a Liberal his conversion was due ' he availed himself for Puns MINIM= Had he Wier sailed under false colours, we might not have occasion now to deplore the temporary aacandancy of unscrupulous Tories. The bitterest calumniator of Mr. GLAD/SAMS must grant that in changing his party he eonclii sively and deliberately changed his principles. He openly said this in the course of one of the noblest confessions of political faith ever made in Parlia ment :—" I came among you an outcast from those " with whom I associated, driven from them, I " admit, by no arbitrary act, but by the slow and " resistless forces of conviction. I came among " you, to make use of the legal phraseology, in " pauperis formd. I had nothing to offer you but " faithful and honourable service. . . . You " received me with kindness, indulgence, gene " rosity, and I may even say with some measure "of confidence. And the relation between us " has assumed such a form that you can never be " my debtors, but that I must for ever be in your " debt." Two years ago these words were uttered ; the lapse of that brief space of time has not lessened their gracefulness, but it has sufficed to render them less applicable. As leader of the Liberal Opposition, Mr. GLADSTONE has added to the laurels he won when, as Criswczxxou of the EXCEEQCER, he carried into effect a truly liberal financial policy. When relieved from the neces sity of having to conciliate colleagues who did not wish to advance, and to bid for the aid of sup porters who assumed the names of Liberals while desiring to legislate as Tories, he has been able to vindicate in an indepen dent position his genuine opinions, and to exhibit his ripened political strategy. On the subject of Reform he has pledged himself to effect those changes which his opponents have stated they will resist to the death. Among the relics of re ligious intolerance, two have been denounced by him with a vigour which seals their doom. Now that he is the declared foe of Church Rates and of the Irish Church, the agitation respecting the former will bo allayed, even though the House of Lords should lend its aid to fan the flame ; while the latter, notwithstanding the insidious and cun ningly devised amendment of which Lord STANLEY has given notice on behalf of the Ministry, will not long survive to be the opprobrinni of Im perial and impartial legislation. In Mr. GLADSTONE we recognise not only the leader of the party of progress but also the cham pion before whose lance the sham Liberals called into being by the late Lord PALMER STON will speedily bite the dust. They are the modem dragons whose existence is a pest to the State. It is their tortuous conduct which has caused the party squabbles and difficulties that have been laid to the door of Mr. GLADSTONE'S fitful temper. The best European General would fail to moderate and utilise the fierce energy of a horde of wild Bedouins. When a leader is unable to direct and govern a body of men, having confidence in him and with whom he sympathises, he merits con demnation ; but it is no discredit should he prove powerless to organise victory with a body whose hearts are with the enemy and whose actions are directed to betray the cause for which they combat. The Liberal party throughout the country hail Mr. Gummi(' as their rightful chief. "The great " social forces " are on his side. Should his life be prolonged we shall yet see him, as the head of a compact and an enthusiastic majority, assuming his legitimate place in Parliament, and giving to every• measure of just and necessary improvement the impetus which will ensure its adoption. He has laboured long and earnestly, and achieved much for which he merits hearty commendation. We believe, however, that he is destined in the future To perform an sot, Whereof what's past is pe4ssue. THE DRURY-LANE OPERA HOUSE. ALTHOUGH only six days have elapsed since Mr. Marcum:4 obtained possession of Drury Lane, all the necessary arrangements for converting a play house into an opera-house have been completed, and the interior of the building to night will re mind many persons of Her Majesty's Theatre. Much of the old amber drapery saved from the wreck of the old house has been used in decorating the new, and the walls have been covered with a light chintz which is in keeping with the drapery. The whole of the dress circle, the upper boxes, and that portion of the pit which stood beneath the dress circle have been converted into private-bees, and the archi tect, Mr. Mum Nouse, has been able to give Mr. ILunssax about as =say of these boxes as he bad at the old theatre. The pit and orchestral stalls have been cleared of their old seats, and filled with large stalls chairs cowered with light crime= cloth. The orchestra has been =imaged so as to contain 72 instrainuatalists, and the feet tighta have bees taken elf the stage and lessened beneath the fro= of tie Bearing. This abena gives more stage in frost of the pro scenium for those singers who wish to aims= into the house, sad obstrecta the sight of the stall-holders less than the old arrangement. The chandelier and the gilding have bees thoroughly cleaned, and though the house looks assailer from several points of view, it looks much bright er . Fair ladies (and in these days all ladies ac s fair by nature or art) may object to the prepondenanoe of amber in the decorations ; but amber, whatever effect it may have upon complexions, is a colour that harmonises hest with the greatest variety of dresses. The dress-circle now has two corridors--an outer and an inner one—and the lower gallery is turned into amphitheatre stalls. About six thousand yards , of chintz have been used in fitting up the building, , and much solid work has been executed in altering the levels of passages and boxes. The Royal box is fitted up with great elegance, and is, as usual, on the north aide of the house. Much trouble and I discussion hs been caused by the feat that Mr. 1 , Baxley Boccie= failedto appear het Saturday night in the composite entertainment provided for Mr. F. CHATTIATO/e8 benefit, but his non-appearance I probably saved Mr. Manse= from breaking faith I with the public. If Mr. Suclavan had appeared, ' the house would not have been cleared by midnight, 1 1 and Mr. Marcuon's contractors would not have I been able to have commenced their labours at that hour. By the terms of their contract they were I to have full possession of the house at that time, or to be released from any liability if the work were not completed by 6 o'clock to-night. Tas world may be surprised to learn that St. George's, Hanover-square, associated in everf well regulated Britishmind with the marriages of the asistocrsoy, and which has oome into celsbeitl by ceremonies in which prudence and economy the great majcnikr of instances marriages of this class are solemnised by friends of the parties, of course with the rector's per mission, which is always granted. The consequence is that the officiating clergy " men receive the principal offerings, while " a mere complimentary acknowledgment, mostly of " inconsiderable amount, is ell that is made to the " minister of the church." Details are 'mini in statements of this description, so we may add that during the latter part of the incumbency of the hon. gentleman's predeoessor " there was an " understood rule that an offering of not less than "two guineas should be made to the rector when " ever the favour was asked for ► friend of the " parties to officiate." It is to be hoped that the hint will be taken, and that amidst the display of marriages in high life we shall not have to suspect the omission of so small a gr►tuity. A RIMAILLABLI petition in favour of Mr. Coxa- RIDGE'S Oxford and Cambridge Universities Tests Bill is in circulation at Cambridge. The signa tures are confined to former or present beads of houses, professors, examiners, officers, and fellows of colleges, upwards of 200 of whom have already attached their names. The terms of the petition are as follows :—" Sheweth,—That " there still remain divers restrictions and disabi " Mies, imposed by authority of Parliament, by " means of which many of her MAJESTY'S subjects " are debarred from the full enjoyment of the bene fits offered by the said university ; that it is "expedient for the nation and for the univer " city that all restrictions and disabilities should "be entirely removed. Your petitioners accord " ingly humbly pray your right honourable house " to allow the Oxford and Cambridge Univocal " ties Tests Bill to pass into a law. And your " petitioners will ever pray," &c. Without attempting to select particular signi tones, it suffices to say that nearly every scholar whose learning and services have reflected lustre in modern days on the University of Cambridge has signed the petition. THE author of " Spiritual Wives " publishes in the Athenaurn of to-day a few words in expla nation of what he takes to be the moral bear ing of the strange facts " whick it became " his duty to set forth." In this "note," as Mr. HEPWORTH DIXON terms it, there is DU little dis putable matter, but of the serious charge which bas been brought against the book he has nothing to say save to point to his previous writings. Mr. DIXON appears to think he has rendered society a signal benefit ; whereas society thinks he has dealt sensa tionally with subjects which should have been treated only with the calmness of science or with the dignity of history, and has written for general reading a book which cannot be read aloud in the family circle.

We are now about to decide the fate of a nation ; to say whether it is to be war or pesos with our fellow subjects of Ireland ; to declare whether, while we enforce the law, we shall take care that the political institutions shall be such uto give no excuse for disaffection. The policy is as Irish policy ; but the future of the empire is involved in the determinstion of parliament. When evicts so grave awe into unusual decorum even the least reflecting of the party retainer., it is little less than an impertinence for men of no mark in the sountry to attempt to make the decision a thing to be scorned by the whole body of the people. It is seldom however, that efforts of this kind are made without some unintentional good being the result. The ministry have grasped at the proffered hands to save them, as they believe, from defeat ; but they will be defeated, neverthe- less, and with what result Why, that they Inuit go out of office—the very result from which their officious friends sought to save them. uhrvir asas, the eheneirw, seisika. and 'Nest el whisk is Est Ansi, arairtninad, wide is* tribal ant la the ammilip.

Yester day morning, at the first news of these larnentable events, a council of ministers bodily amembled, and orders were given to send troops to the scene of the troubles. Two bat talus of Carbineera, some battalions of the Line, and some squadrons of cavalry were despatched by specialtrainon the Namur and Louvain railway, and some rifled artillery Will sent from Mamie. These details, which reach us from a certain source, give to the insurrectional movement an ex ceptionally serious character. We await further parti culars. The Liberti observes that the litiVall telegrams, though of later date than the letters arriving by post, are less complete. The following Special despatch is published by the Libert4 : Charleroi, March 27. Yesterday the rioters marched in the direction of tae Fosae dedllpine which forms part of the Bonne.Fsperance coal-fields. They threw donee at the troops. In the first renoontre eight rioten were killed and fifteen wounded— three of them mortally. At this moment, the rioters are ( proceeding towards Farciennes. Flesh troops have been sent after them. The commandant of the gendarmerie, Rollin, who was wounded yesterday, Is in a dangerous state. It is generally admitted that there is nothing political in the movement, which is believed to be the explosion of long-standing grievances between the colliers and their masters. OVATIONS TO THE AUSTRIAN MINISTERS. The people of Vienna are not yet tired of exhi biting their joy at the adoption of the Civil Mar riages Bill. The New Free Press of Vienna says : The precession of the crowds and the ovations on the adoption of the Civil Marriage Bill lasted during the whole night snocealieg the passing of the measure. M. Giakra, from his balcony, pronounced the following address:— "Gentlemen, I thank you, in my own name and in that of the men who compose the government, for the proofs of sympathy and confidence you give us. We shall march forward in the path on which we have entered, in con formity with the intentions of our Emperor sad Master—(prolonged applause, and reiterated cries of 'Long I live the Emperor!') and eith tie principles laid down in the fundamental laee already sanctioned.

Despatches received here state that a riot com menced yesterday morning at the villages of Far ciennea and Lambussart and extended to Tamines.

PARIS, FRIDAT EVENING. _ The official fetes of the season at the Tuileries were closed yesterday by a grand dinner to 94 members of the Corps Legislatif, who all appeared in uniform. Almost all the guests of course be longed to the government side of the house, but M. Guoroult was one of them. M. Emile 011ivier had an invitation, but refused. The story goes that when he last saw the Emperor he offended his Majesty mortally by saying, " Sire, I can yet save your dynasty !" It is said that over their coffee the deputies greatly pestered the Em peror with complaints of the result of his free-trade policy, and insisted particularly that the commercial treaty with England should not be renewed. The Emperor replied that the question would be most carefully considered. This morning most of the insita to the Tuileries ban quet have left Paris for their departments to enjoy an Easter vacation of three weeks. A rumour is circulated that the Emperor is going immediately to Algeria. It is asserted that a fleet is already making preparations to escort him. Marshal Mac.Mahon had a long conference with the Emperor and the Minister of War at the Tuileries yesterday. Leon, the Emperor's late valet, has left a for of 20,0001. ; his imocessor, Muller, begins his career with a salary of 4801. The pastor Athanase Coquerel and two other protestant clergymen, who are not recognised as orthodox by the Guirot synod in Paris, have been specially authorised by the government to give religious lectures. At the Bourse the rise is again predominant. Rents, after opening at 69fr. 5c., closed very firm at 69fr. 150. for cash, and 69fr. 20c. for account, with a rise of 150. and 20c. Italian rose 65c. ; Credit Fonder, W. 750. ; and Mobilier, 61r. 250. The Czarewitch arrived on Thursday night at NW.

This amendment meets the resolutions with a direct bar to their peening, end will prevent honourable gentlemen from raising any side issue. But, although it goes strongly and frankly in the face of the liberal party, it is so far a gain that it acknowledges the urgency of the question mooted by Mr. Gladstone, and virtually endorses the undertaking to follow up the debate with action. Nay, while it pledges the government to deal with the ques tion on the assembling of the new parliament, it also leaves Mr. Oladatone still more emphatically pledged. Even should the amendment be carried, and his resolutions be set aside by the present house, they would still stand on the records of parliament as the irrevocable announcement of the policy which he must initiate at the very earliest assemblage of the newly-oonstituted walla. meat. Thai, either now or s few months hence, the battle must be fought on the broad issue which has been raised. Meanwhile, the duty of Liberal members is to support Mr. Gladstone's resolutions against Lord Stanley's amendment ; for, in the eyes of the country at the next election their conduct in choosing between the two counter propositions, immediate " disestabliahment" or general " modification," will form the test of their genuine liberalism. rift Court.

The Irish question is not to be settled by equi- Toque. Of all modes of meeting the difficulty this is the least promising. Compared with it inaction, procras tination, and reaction are tolerable expedients. We know not, indeed, any act of the present ministry so cal culated to lower our estimate of their collective intelligence as the concoction or adoption of this amendment. The sullen disaffection of the Irish people has forced the English nation to realise the true character of the Irish establishment. It is seen for what it is, a relic of evil days, set up in opposition to the feelings of the Irish people, and maintained by force of arms in spite of the rebellions of 300 years. The desire to overthrow it has prompted repeated outbreaks, while passive enmity is always fostered by the resentment it begets ; yet the establishment remains a badge of con quest and supremacy—a signal mark of injustice. This is what, as Englishmen, we are brought to acknowledge, end, having arrived at this conviction, we adopt the con sequence that this monument of partial government must be removed. The injustice may be abated is two ways— either by the rateable distribution of the endowments of the establishment among all creeds, or by the dieendew mint of all ; and it is the function of a statesman to determine which plan I. practicable or politic. - One or the other must be adopted.

A SECOND EDITION of the EXPRESS, The Latest Foreign Telegrams ; the Latest City ; Railway, Mining, and other Shares ; Sporting, and General Intelligence, IS PUBLISHED EVERY EVENING. LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 28. MR. GLADSTONE. EARNESTNESS is an unpopular virtue. Men who amuse are everywhere preferred to men who can teach. This tendency of the hour is conspi cuously manifested in that House wherein, as is commonly supposed, the collective wisdom of the nation is concentrated. A statesman who would lead a docile party, and find favour in the sight of cynical critics, must learn to make smell jokes under the penalty of being charged with incapa city for holding high office. If he be an adept in the art of bantering, be will be popular alike iu Parliament and throughout the country. Sin cerity uf conviction anttloyalty of purpose will profit him less than an elastic conscience and a keen eye for the main chance. His admirers will he numerous if he but consistently act on the maxim 'that " there is nothing new and nothing " time, and it does net much matter." This, however, is what Mr. GLADSTONE could not do if he would. He is earnest to the core. In his eyes life is a airy serious problem, and the business of statesmanship one of the most important and responsible of the affairs vi life. Ilia intellectual vision is ae acute, that he can discern obstaaes which other men are unable to peroeire, yet of which they do not saruple to deny the existence. To the thoroughly English system of govern ment by compromise he is opposed on principle. A victory on a side issue he despises. Never acting till he has made up his mind and steeled him self to brave the consequences of his conduct, he has little sympathy with those who shirk a decision which would compel them to exa mine the basis of their convictions, and might irretrievably commit them to a definite oonrse. This frame of mind is not the best for preserving what is styled consis tency. The man who honestly investigates the grounds of his belief is almost certain to discover a good excuse for abandoning some cherished but erroneous notion. Before we condemn him for successively espousing contrary sides, we should de termine the validity of the reasons for which the step was taken. In the case of Mr. CLADSTONN every change has been an advance, and such an advance as we should expect an earnest and con scientious man to make as his examination of the political situation of England became more prac tical and more thorough. He was educated in the Tory camp. CANNING and Brans were the political idols to which his immature mind paid homage. He stated in the House of Commons that his youthful imagination was impressed with " the same idle and futile fears" about the predominance of the people which terrified CAN NING and Brame, and so bewildered and dis tracted the mature mind of Mr. DIIIKAILI as to induce him to oppose with success the moderate Reform BM of 1866. Mr. Gisneross's inconsis tency is that of the upright man who, havi ng grown wiser, i• neither ashamed to avow the fact, nor to direct his future steps by the light of his *Nuked knowledge. It is not nnustial for politicians to change sides. Seldom, however, dogs the New - 00=r receive or deserve implicit trust freci those he joins. The THEATRICAL LEICESTER-SQUARE. Tns appetite for new theatres means not to h e satisfied by the erection of the New Queen's in Long-acre, and there is every probability o f Leicester square and its immediate neighbourhood being turned before long into a theatrical market place. The centre of the square, which is,, bee n wrested by law proceedings from the improving I grasp of the Metropolitan Board of Works, they or may not be devoted to an opera-house or s theatre, but, in the meantime, it is held to he i n somewhat the same legal position as any one of the commons round London,—that is, it may h e built upon at any moment that the lord of th e manor and the copyholders can agree upon th e matter. If the centre, however, is saf e for a time at least, as an open apac e —(it is too small for an opera-h ouse, though large enough f o r a secon d- rate theatre) the borders, if we are to credit general rumour, are more likely to be immediately appro. priated for theatrical purposes. Negotiations have been for some time in progress for the purchase of the old and now deserted Sablonni4re Hotel, which stands at the south-east corner of the square, and was once the residence of the great painter HOOMITH. The intending purchasers are a popular dramatist, a popular novelist, and their friends, and the design of the purchasers is to c on . vert it at once into a theatre. The position at present is not everything that could be wished, but the prospects are encouraging. If the new street from St. Martin's Church to Ox ford street should be constructed in th e line intended by the Metropolitan L j e z d of Words, the Sablonnike will then be left in an advantageous corner position. Simulta neously with these negotiations, others are in progress for the purchase of the site of Saville House, the object being to construct a first -dm playhouse on that spot. Shortly after the tire in the spring of 1865, which destroyed that building, the various holdeis of the property demanded something like 48,0001. for the freehold --a price that frightened several theatrical proprie tors of that period. The terms now may be lighter, but in any case it is confidently stated that a very well known impreet, is and the chairman of a great Hall company have almost completed the purchase. A site in Tich borne.street is also spoken of as an "eligible' and probable place for another theatre, and it has been carefully surveyed several times for this pur pose during the last four years. Things are much changed in the neighbourhood of Leicester-square since Mr. J. B. BucKsroin tried to get up a theatre in that quarter, and gave up the at tempt before getting beyond the prospectus. THEATRICAL GOSSIP. 1 1 A new dramatic version of Oliver Ti' id will be I produced at the Queen's Theatre, Long•acre, at Easter. Mr. Toole will play the Dodger. The Holborn Theatre will re-open at Easter, under the management of Miss Fanny Josephs, with the old strand dram► of the Pomboy, and an extravaganza.by Mr. lturnand, entitled the White Fawn.

DRAM or MISS FITZPATRICK. —We have to an• flounce the decease of Miss Emma Fitzpatrick, abode , ' • few days ago, after a long and painful illAtAk at her residence in Vincent-street, Fulham-nog.

At Sadler'm Wells Kies Fitzpatrick played with admirable effect Lady Teazle, Neighbour Car stance ; and Lady Racket in Three Weeks After .11m.r.rot,, whilst that theatre was under the direction of Akan I Phalle and Greenwood, and her handsome appearance sal elegant style rendered her a valuable acquisition to all the principal theatres at the West.end, where she accepted occasional eneagernenfs.
