When, as a young member of it, he entered the House of Commons in 1813, he found that in order to produce any effect it was necessary to employ all the artifices which were then recognised as legitimate expe dients in the game of politics. The Tories were strong both in Parliament and throughout the country because they represented the large section which rejoiced in warring both against the French principles with which Liberals were supposed to be imbued, and against the French EeranOltwho was then the terror of Europe. Those who talked about reform were met with the rejoinder that reform in Prams had issued in a bloody revolu tion. Earl Omer in the Upper and Lord Joni( Roseau. in the Lower House were then regarded with the same mixture of dread and indignation which was recently lavished on Mr. Hamar before the Tory party discovered that he was not bent on abolishing the Monarchy and establishing a Re public. When the sustained assaults of Lord Jane Ruvum a. had at length made a breach in the for tress of venerable abuses, and he became a responsible minister of the Crown, the peculiarities of his early training became very conspicuous. He was prone to employ the old tactics while dealing with new problems. The days had gone by when every Liberal was a genuine Whig, an admirer of Somme, a firm believer in the doctrines of Fox. Men had grown up to whom Whiggism was nearly as obnoxious as Toryism. They considered it as illiberal for a certain number of great Whig families, on the strength of their services at the time of the Revolution, to claim • monopoly of office, as it was for the equally aristocratic but less exclusive Tories to resist improvement on the ground that it was innova tion. The leader of the Whigs failed to appre ciate the intensity and the pervading influence of the new spirit. Hence the Liberal party, ceasing to act as a unit, was well-nigh impotent to effect ' necessary changes. Besides, it laboured under the drawback of having no one in its ranks whose genius for finance rivalled that of HCBILISSON or PeaL. When Prime Minister, Lord Joni.; Rossiuz although willing to legislate in a liberal sense, was yet unable to carry his measures because he was not surrounded by efficient colleagues, and be cause he refrained from seeking recruits among the Radicals. He was often blamed for inaction when it was impossible that he should advance. So far from being adventuresome, he was over prudent. Instead of hastily rushing onwards, he was p&ralysed at the prospect of the obstacles he might encounter. It is not as a great parliamentary loader that his name will shine in history. His marked cha racteristic is to have combined in his person the Liberal whose opinions are at once historical and conscientious. If he had been less deeply im pressed with the memories of his party his mind would have had freer scope for working out ori ginal ideas. He might have proved a more thorough-going Liberal had he not been the poli tical inheritor of Whig heirlooms. But if the circle of his political sympathies be restricted, the sincerity of his opinions and the honesty of his in tentions are alike indisputable and intense. It is this which makes him stubborn when once he has espoused a side and made up his mind. Having spared no pains to master the point at issue, he declines to review the grounds of his conclusions. Indeed, his merits as well as shortcomings are peculiarly those of the laborious historian, who, having spared no pains to learn the truth, is beyond the reach of argument when the attempt is made to convince him that although his facts may be correct, yet his deductions are open to question. A statesman who is fond of historical studies, and has as great a liking for solid literature as for politics, is apt to deal with living men as he would with bygone personages, and to treat them as if the motives he imputes are those which really influenced their conduct. Hereafter, certain portions of Earl Russxxx's career will be sharply criticised, hut no one is likely to dispute the vigour of his intellect and the value of his achievements as a legislator. His aim has been to plan measures which should contribute to advance the material welfare of his countrymen by promoting their civil and re ligious equality. A debt of gratitude is due to him which, if it be impossible to repay, it would be disgraceful to repudiate. Not only have his services been of exceeding value, but his labours have been unusually protracted. Fifty-five years have elapsed since he entered parliament. Age has nut dulled his energy. He glories in serious work as other men of his station glory in frivolous pleasures. If to grasp the bubble reputation had been his sole desire, he might have done well to have paused at an earlier period in his career, and exchanged, as he has now definitely done, the toilsome post of party leader for the honour able office of party adviser. We cannot blame him, however, for having so long deferred his abdication, because his ruling principle has always been that of ULYSSES-- !ht ervtotoo. ADVFMTI3EIMNIII r.ost be forwarded to Mews. J.

A SECOND EDITION of the EXPRESS, CONTAINING The Latest Foreign Telegrams ; the Latest City ; Railway, Mining, and other Shares ; Sporting, and General Intelligence, 18 PUBIJSHIID EVERY EVENING. LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 11 EARL RUSSELL. A FEW words written thirty years ago by SYDNEY Satre have done more to propagate wrongful notions concerning Earl Russeu. than all the diatribes of his inveterate and prejudiced opponents. SYDNIII SMITH'S wrath nee kindled when the chief promoter of the first Reform Act began to meddle with the temporalities of the Church. Although the former had written, spoken, and suffered on behalf of Parliamentary Reform, yet he was toa thorough a clergyman to brook that the latter should apply his reforming principles to Church property. Aghast at Lord JOHN RussELL'a temerity he wrote :—" There is "no better man in England than Lord Joins " RussELL ; but his worst failure is that he is " utterly ignorant of all moral fear ; there is " nothing he would not undertake. I believe he " would perform the operation for the stone— " build St. Peter's—or assume (with or without " ten minutes' notice) the command of the " Channel Fleet ; and no one would discover by " his manner that the patient had died—the " Church tumbled down—and the Channel fleet " been knocked to atoms." Smart but reckless writing like this does irreparable mischief. It gives a handle to charges which are foundationless. The words penned in levity are quoted as the expression of serious convictions. Thus it is that Lord Ruassm. has been held up to public odium as a statesman devoid of ordinary prudence, and delighting in acts of unpardonable rashness. Not a few sensible persons have been led to believe, on the sole auth.oriew, of SYDNEY SMITH, that he is flighty, impulsive, and untrustworthy ; a man who is always fluctuating between different varieties of extreme opinions, being "everything by turns " and nothing long." It is noteworthy that the same injustice which times" pieces cl Lord JOHN &mem. suffered at the hands of 14 "Inal'ae• SYDNEY Sutra, his grandfather underwent at Entrees—Petite, bouoheos it la beltemieuue, supteme de tlets de soles v.htitiennes, vol-au-vent I la Bechareel, the hands of EDMEND BORE& When the timbales ila mite sax knifes, pates chinch als latter had become a violent Tory he attacked Richelieu, hotnarcls Ala Hagration. . the Duke of BEDFORD in a letter which is a Boats de table—Bantam dlerevissse. model of po li t i ca l vituperation.

A teal is orthodo*, , a wild duck would not be. Such are the distinctions. " Any poor wretch," remarks our Paris corre spondent, " standing outside the Hotel du Com " mere° et des Colonies, at Nantes, who this " evening buys • halfpenny worth of suet to " make his dry crust slip down his throat more " easily, would be held to commit a mortal sin." Ma. GOLDWIN filszea's Speech at Manetesta , on Thursday is especially valuable, as showing his determination to retain that independence of thought which some Liberals are too much inclined to treat as a weakness of political faith. A great party must, it is true, have certain tests from which it will allow no deflection. The disestablishment of the Irish Church is such a test at the present moment, and so, we think, ought to be the readiness to look at Irish ques tions from an Irish stand point, and to govern Ireland for Ireland. But needlessly to multiply such teats is to narrow the basis of the party, and to risk excluding from it men who, while they are true lovers of liberal principles, insist on thinking for themselves as to particular applica tions of them. Mr. Goi.nwri Serra told his hearers, very frankly, that he differed from many of his friends on the Irish land question, and from many of his Manchester friends in particular on the question of compulsory education. His testimony to Mr. Oxeserowe is worth quoting, because it comes from one who " has differed from ",him on not a few questions, and opposed " him on some ;"—and those toe, questions, such as Academical Reform, in which Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH is especially interested. " I have the greatest " possible confidence," he says, " in Mr. GLAD " wrows's integrity. I have supported him for " many years as a member of the constituency at " Oxford, in the full confidence that the principles " of political justice were in him, and that in amend " they would come out. lam perfectly convinced that " his conduct uow is not what his enemies say it is " —merely an attempt to take up a question for the " purpose of getting into power—but that it is the " honest development of his own mind." It is worthy of notice, by the way, in con nexion with this charge of eagerness for place, that whereas, even if it were true, it only amounts to this—that as the leader of the Liberal Party, Mr. GLADSTONE wishes to gain power in order to carry out Liberal principles, it is brought age..ist him by Conservatives who, in order to keep in power, have not scrupled to sacrifice Conservative principles. RUSKIN has somewhere spoken of the inestimable advantage the inhabitants of the Scottish capital have over Londoners in the picturesque situation of their city. The precipi tous slopes of Arthur's Seat, and the lonely glens which they inclose, are actually within the par liamentary boundaries of Edinburgh. Its people can enjoy, just out of earshot of their own streets, the physical and moral tonic which only mountain scenery can give, and which the townsmen of southern England are forced to purchase at the coat of a toilsome journey. Even the gradual extension which is inseparable from a prosperous city will not deprive them of this benefit, for Arthur's Seat affords no level surface to tempt the building speculator. It is natural that, ins city so placed, the average of population to area should be unusually small. Edinburgh contains only 40 persona per acre, against 93 per acre in Liver pool, and 83 in Glasgow. But if we turn from generals to particulars, envy must give place to thankfulness that London, bad as it may be, is not as Edinburgh is. In some dis tricts of the city the density of population is described as unequalled in any town in Great Britain. In the Grass-market there are 237 persons to the acre, in the Tron there are 314. The prevalence of the flat system increases the evil, for the " common stain" are in fact " little streets, carried perpendicularly upwards." In one of these houses there are 59 rooms, inha bited by 56 families and 248 persons ; in another, built quite recently as a model dwelling for the poor, there are 35 rooms, 33 families, and 125 per sons. In neither of these buildings is there any water, any closet, or any sink. If the inhabitants living on the highest floors want water for washing or drinking they must carry it through the close and up endless flights of stairs, so that we cease to wonder that they should so often leave washing alone, and prefer their drink in the more portable form of spirits. In 1861—since which time there has been no material improvement-13,209 families, comprising 66,000 persons, lived in single rooms, and of these rooms upwards of 900 were cellars, and 121 had abso lutely no windows at all. We take these detaßs from a very valuable report on the condition of the poor of Edinburgh, prepared by order of a public meeting of the inhabitants held just a year ago, and published a clay or two back. It is not often that a great city shows itself so frank in con fessing its shortcomings, and so honestly anxious to amend them.

In the oastrary event, islogdala will doubtless be taken, and oar treatment of Theodore, if be falls alive into our bands, most be governed by circumstances on which it would be vain to speculate at present. The changes which would take place in eocleriastiesl affairs in Ireland and England so soon as the statutalde protection which now surrounds the establishments of the two countries were withdrawn, sea considered by the Daily Newt, apropos of some arguments on the 'object put forward by the Pall Mall Gazette. The change from the status of an establishment to the status of • volun- May associatios is too re it not to be accompanied with some confusion and misunderstanding. But if there is any real organic life in a religions body it will certainly not be destroyed by being thrown upon its own resources. Xi,/ Carpenter's suggestions respecting India reform ; the state of trade guilds in Germany, and the quality and ohmmeter of the income-tax are also dealt with in the leading article columns of the Daily New. The Pod returns to the Irish Church ; says • few words for the Jews in the Principalities ; and urges that ade quate proviaion should be made for the defence of an ac eased person, if he is unable to secure such service for himself. We believe, says our oonteniporary, there is no greater travesty of justice than that which so frequently takes place in our criminal courts when a prisoner charged with a capital offence being placed in the dock, and the jury empanelled to try him, the presiding judge requests use member of the bar to conduct the defence. The Star again argues that there is between the case of Ire/and and the case of Ragland, in the matter of church est•blishments, no parity or community of interests what ever. The other subject handled by the Star is the meet ing of the Manchester Reform Club. THE WEEKLY PRESS. Asking the question, What will ministers dot the Examiner anticipates on the 27th April, testi& the farther proceedings on Mr. Gladstone' resolutions stand post poned, renewal of debate, and inevitably more delay. The budget will in the interval be launched ; and fundholders and taxpayers will be set to work computing cost and charge and deficit occasioned by the Abyssinian expedi tion, and how it may most tbriftly be met. Then there are the estimates to be got through, and the Irish and Scotch Reform Bills, which it will be impolitic to give government an excuse for delaying, lest thereby a pre text should be found for deferring the appeal to the new constituencies for another year. Mr. Gladstone n contemplated the introduction of a specific propose] this session, and nobody, therefore, can feel disappointed if, upon ea:Tying his first resolution, as he is certain to do, he should declare that the responsibility of giving effect to it in i carefully.framed enactment must lie upon the ex ecutive, and that parliament will require that responsi bility to be next session discharged. Other questions may arise in the interim, leading to more hand-to-hand en counter, and to more summary determination of the mere party struggle. The fate of parties has indeed generally been determined by the unforeseen, rather than by the result of contentions long anticipated. The Saturday Review contends that it is not fair to say that the ministry is • ministry on sufferance. It is • ministry established with the general salient of all parties. And certainly no one gains so much from its existence as its opponants gain. If the present ministry really wished to save or help the Irish church, the beet thing they could do would be to resign. The liberal", if in office, would have the utmost difficulty in agree ing what to do with the Irish church. There was • time, it mast be remembered, when, under the reign of Palmerston, liberals stayed on in official life, and devoted themselves to carrying ont a very conservative policy. And in some measure the indifference or satisfac tion with which the country watches the continuance of the present ministry in office is due to the conviction that it can do no harm. The liberal victory seems so great, and the appeal it hu made to the nation so successful, that • conservative government cannot, it is thought, interfere with this success, or make things go less quietly or less readily in the direction in which it is desired they should go by the liberal portions of the English and Scotch The Spectator draws attention to a "gross job," which, it says, has recently been perpetrated at Winchester Col lege. It appears that, at the close of last year, a vacancy occurred in the second mastership of the college, and advertisements were published offering the place to the competition of Ant-rate men. Among the ens didatee there were three who appeared to he the most suitable, and among whom the eem test msctically lay. They were all young men, lie dirt decidedly under 35 years of age ; they were all in bap orders ; they were all actually at the time assistant armlets in the school ; they had all been surocasfal in the teaching and management of their forms ; and they were all well qualified in respect of attainments. With respect to the first of these, it would be very difficult to find any man in England under the age of 35 whose claims Mould have been as strong. The claims of the other two were much less oonspicumm, although it is not disputed that either of these might have been considered sta. Mouldy qualified for the vomit office, had not the firrt-namod been in the field. On all grounds the lint candidate was eminently the fittest foe the peit:W jet e least eligible of the three was elected ; and lie Swagger contends that it is due to the public that some explana tion should be given of what certainly appears to be a cola abuse of patronage.

The Saturday Review this morning enters into a kind of justifiedies of its resent cynicism respecting the thareeter and meek. of women in the present cloy. it opens Ito essay by declaring that the time has arrived when they have to meet hard sayings with replisc " a little lee eaperleial than the conventional stare of out raged womanhood or the trivial retort on the follies of men." Referring to the denunciations of what is called the " magcificent indecency" of New York, to the protest of the Berlin schoolmaster, against the degrading exhibi. Roue of the Premien capital, to the "thunder. of the Vaticsn,"and the protest of theßishop of Orleans, the writer rugged' that these may only be varied theses of cynicism, bet contends that each a world-wide outbreak of that rind Idthest i ea= is a somewhat isprobalil" event, and the improbability is increased when we IN mark the silent acquiescence of the women of America and the Coo. tinent in the justice of these censures. It is only the British mother who ventures to protest. But "we Englishmen," complacently remarks the &flied ry Re view : " Have always felt a sort of national pride in the British mother. It has been a part of our patriotic self-satis. faction to pique ourselves on her icy decorum, on the merciless severity of her virtue. Colourless, uninterest ing, limited as Continental critics pronounced her to be, we cherished her the more as something specially our own, and regarded the Channel As a barrier providentially in vented for the isolation of her spotless, prudery. And it mud be owned that the British mother took her cue admirably. She owned, with • sigh of complacency, that she was not as other women. She shuddered at foreign morals, and tabooed French novels. She shook all life and individuality out of her girls as un-English and eon. tinentaL She denounced aspirations after higher and larger spheres of effort as unfeminine. Such a type of woman was naturally dull enough, but it fairly came up to its own standard ; and if its respectability was pru dery, it still earned, and had a right to claim, man's respect." But according to the Renege, all these are things of the peat, and it is positively •• amusing" that the claim is per. silted in when the type has passed away : " The British sponse has bloomed into the semi-detached wife, with a husband always conveniently in the distanc e , and a eiciabeo aa conveniently in the corner. The British mother ham died into the faded matrino. Kiel schemer, contemptuous of younger sons. The innocent simper of the British maiden has developed into the loud laefle and the honey slang of the girl of the season. But maiden and matron are atilt on one point faithful to the traditions of their grandmothers, and front all censorious 0002e111 with a shrug of their shoulder-straps and a flutter of indignant womanhood, and maiden and matron still claim their insular exemption from the foibles of their ow. The Pope may de what be will with the women of Italy. and llocarigneur of Orleans may deal stern justice out to the women of France; continental immorality is tt.e nature of things ; but there is something else that Is is the nature of things too, and before the impeccable sweaty of British womanhood every critic must sound stscised." Nothing, says the reviewer, can seem more simple or more effective than the Is quoque retort familiar to feral. nine disputants', which displays itself in every possible form : ' if the girl of the period is fast and frivolous, is the young man of the period any better! No sketch can be more telling than the picture which she is ready to draw of hi lounging ways, his epicuresn indolence, his boredom at home, his foppery abroad, the vacancy of his stare, the inanity of big talk, his incredible conceit, he life vibrating between the club and the stable She hits off with a charming vivacity the list of his [ accomplishments—his skill A flirtation, his matchless ability at croquet, his assiduity over Bell ' s Life, the clever. Dees of his book on the Derby. No sensible or well informed girl, she tells us, can talk for ten !lout,. to this creature without weariness and disgust at his icooranse, bis narrowness, his trivislity ; no modestly-dressed e decently-mann ered girl can win the slightest share of In attentions. Married, he is as frivolous as before marriage; be selects the toilette of the deem -mo nde as en agoutis topic of domestic conversation, be resents afTection sal proclaims home a bore, he grudges the birth of children as an additional expense, he stunts end degrader. the erica flocs of bis girls, be la the despot of his household aimd the dread of his family." And woman, we are told by the reviewer, owns that what she really does is to mould herself as roucli ,be can on this " monster's model," and "as he cannot talk sense, she stoops to bandy chaff and slang." As to the influence of the preeent generation of mother, upon the children of the future, the Saturday .. , e says: - - - - - - - " The general uneasiness of which we have spoken bef.e arises simply from the conviction that woman is bemiring more and more indifferent to her actual post in the iscAll economy of the world. After all protests against limitim the sphere of the sex os single function et their existence, public opinion still regards woman primarily in her relates to the generation to oome. If it censures the sensible girl rto stoops to slang, or the modest girl who stoops to ind ecency is le becaueethe sense andthe modesty which they abandon isnot theirs to hold or to fling imay, but the heritage of the human race. But this ' , Remit to be leas and less the fod. ing of woman herself. For good or for evil, or, perl.pi more truly, for both good and evil, woman is becoming conscious every day of new powers, and longing 'oe an independent sphere in which she can exert those. Marriage is aimed at with a passionate ardour unknown before, not as a means of gratifying affec ti on, but as a means of securing independence. To des unmarried girl life is a sheer bondage, and there is ro sacrifios too great to be left untried if it only promises a chance of deliveranoe. She learns to despise the senor, the information, the womanly reserve which fail to attract the deliverer. She has to sell herself to purchase her free dem,. and she will take very strong measures to secure purchaser. The fop, the fool, little knows the Leti scrutiny with which the gay creature behind her fan a taking stock of his feeble preferences, in preparing to May upon his feebler aversions. Pitiful as be is, it is for lion that she arranges her artillery on she toilet-table, the little secrets,' the powder bloom, the roma precipitated from the damask rcee-leaf,' the Styrian lotion that gives ' beauty and freshness to the complexion, plumpness to the figure, clearness ond soft nese to the akin.' He has a faint dicker of liking for brunettes she lays her triumphant finger on her ' walnut stain,' end darkens into the favourite tint. lie lora plumpness, and her' Sinai Manna' is at hand to *ems embonpoint. Belladonna flashes on him from her eyes. Kohl and antimony deepen the blackness of her eyebrom. ' bloom of roses' blushes from her lips. She stoops to ca nner, and it is no wonder that the fop and the fool is down." GENTLEWOMEN'S SELF-BEEP INSTITUTE.
