A SECOND EDITION of the EXPRESS, CONTAINING The latest Foreign Telegrams, and the Latest City, Sporting, and General Intelligence, 11l PIIIILIMIED EVERY EVENING. LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 13. THE GOVERNMENT AND THE ROUSE. IT APPEARS only too easy to find in the ante oodenta of all parties and all the chiefs of parties in the present House of Commons, apologists for a purely negative and expectant policy towards Ireland. Without disrespect to his brilliant re sources as a parliamentary debater and his proved capacities as a vigorous administrator, Mr. LOWE'S political philosophy may be pronounced empirical, neccsaarian, perhaps manichean. It is not that lie believes altogether iu the existing state of things, or that he admires it ; but he ac cepts it as a matter of fact and defends it with all the arguments that belong to the representative of a conquering and ruling race. Nor, indeed, does he accept it wholly. His consdence and comm'iu sense revolt at such an anomaly as the Irish Church establishment, and his enlightened antipathy to sectarian domination rejects the timorous abandonment of a nation's intellect to the darkening discipline of a clerical monopoly. Obviously Mr. LOWE aad his applauders are not destined to be the regenerators of Ireland, any more than her Maniarv's present advisers, who propose to " sit, " in more than one sense, upon the land question, to consecrate the principle of sectarian instruction by a bribe to the POPE, and to leave the Irish establishment intact until a Commission shall have suggested that remedy for the prevailing dissatisfaction which the actual Leader of the Opposition, speaking in 1865, as Cnaweatioa of the EXVHEQCER, confessed himself unable to prescribe. Unless Mr. GLADSTONE is prepared this evening to announce that he has found the " remedy" which he demanded in vain three years ago, the conviction will certainly be borne in upon the mind of the people on both sides of St. George's Channel that out of this condemned Parliament no Irish policy can come, unless it be a policy to hang up every question, to dally with every difficulty, and to fling pellets of " Han " sard" from one side to the other, in order to show to the world out of doors that the leaders of the Opposition cease to have an Irish policy when they suoceed to the respon sibilities of power, and that the House is divided and subdivided against itself on the Land, the Church, and the Education question. Mr. ()LAD- S rONR, who was directly challenged by the Hosts he 'RETARY last night, may reply as Sir RNIERT PEEL did on a similar occasion, " Call "me in before you ask me to prescribe." But this a.' .11,11'1011M argument, perfectly justi fiable, no doubt, in a parliamentary sense, would only strengthen the Fabian tactics of the PREMIER. There is no majority, howsoever com posed, that can be led to victory against the existing Government on the Irish question by men without any distinct, definite, or decisive policy of their own to propose, and to propose without delay, as responsible advisers of the Crown. Taking this for granted, then, and the dream of a "Liberal—a truly Liberal " Irish policy at the hands of our Tory Government having gone the way of all such baseless fabrics, let us look in some other direction for the course of action which is to entitle the statesmen now in office to the confidence of the constituencies. Of the confidence of the House that now is, they are, perhaps, not so solicitous as some impatient candidates for promotion may suppose. The Howe Ssearraar, in the very act of abutting the door in the face of Irish Church Aboli tionists has opened a much wider one for the inexorable political logicians of the future, by assimilating the case of the Church Establishment in Ireland to that of the Church Establishment in England, and insisting on one rule of religious equality for both countries. Nor yet is he too re luctant "to give up some of his predi " tedious in case of necessity." The history of last year'sßeforin legislation might have saved him the trouble of giving himself this conditionaltre lease from inconvenient pledges. There is a ques tion, however, of urgent importance, upon which it is to be hoped that without sacrificing any fond personal predilections Mr. HARDY may be disposed to co-operate heartily with his Chief in the " education" of his party. And this great question is the education of the people. In his interview with the Manchester Education Aid Society, the other day, the PRIME MINISTER assured Mr. B R u cg and Mr. Young that he agreed with them sub. stantially in all their general principles, and that there was scarcely a point of difference between them and himself. The bill to be pro duced within ten days by the government was already complete, but Mr. Donlan.' certainly encouraged the supposition that in preparing it the views and propositions of the Manchester Educa tion Aid Society had been anxiously consi dered and consulted. According to :the inter- rotation which the Times y. Paznute's good words in this now Government is ready to meet the' formers more than half way, ty principle of a camprdocap-reer miss schools are wanting or inelloient, and aid of the local rate propoilionate Uwe/sure wouldiriniiiiiMiineffioner.... of all parties in the Hones except that ancient Tory party, if any such there .be still extant, which regards as an anarchical heresy the doctrine that the general education of the people is one of the 'primary obligations of the na tional government. The bill which will be introduced by Mr. Buttes and Mr. Foams next week, will anticipate rather than con flict with the measure of the Government, if the only serious difference between the two should be as to the priority of national or of local obligation, and the quantity or quality of the aid and guidance contributed by the State to kook efforts. There can scarcely be a controversy between ' the central and the local principle of government, since the express object of Reformers is to invoke the aid and supervision of the central government in behalf of insufficient local authority. From the common basis of the Government Bill, and that of the Manchester Society, some considerable movement in advance will be secured if the Government is in earnest, and the House is as anxious as the Government to have some results to show far the session. But there ar other educational questions to come before Parliament, and to test the principles of Mr. Disasazi's administration. For example, the Uni versity Tests Bill. flow will Mr. HARDT, who deliberately prefers sectarian to mixed schools, agree upon what is somewhat invidiously called the " secularization" of the Universities—by "secularization " is meant the admission of others than members of the Established Church to the benefits of institutions which were founded by and for Roman catholic,— with Mr. Dm:Amu, who was not generally deemed to be denominational in his instincts until the Bishop of OXFORD adopted him upon a platform. is Lord CRANRORNZ the unofficial organ of the Government on the University question? LAST 1 - mars DEBATE.—MESSRS. HOBS- MAN, LOWE, AND MILL. THE hon. member for Stroud is just the speaker to attract a pre-prandial audience. A speech from him, at what may be called the " day performance," has the effect of " bitters " on jaded appetites—it stimulates and gives zest. The " dyspeptic politicians "—the expression is perfectly parliamentary--are not only sar castic themselves but the cause of sarcasm in others. Formerly a member of a government and of a party, long exile from office has given Mr. HOUMA!! an independence of position from which he has levelled his biting invectives as frequently and more effectually against his quondam col leagues than against his conservative opponenta. Hence he is regarded as one of the free-lances of debate, and hence also in great part the desire to hear him address the house. Last even ing, however, he afforded his listeners no piquant personalities or partisan pleasantries of any kind, and so far his speech was a disappointment to those who came for the amusement of hearing a man abuse his friends. Whether he thought the occasion too solemn and too serious for mere party or personal warfare he gave little scope last night to his peculiar vein of sarcasm—and it is a rich one. He dwelt chiefly on the government proposal for the endowment of a Roman Catholic University, and pointed with something like contempt to the fact that the successor to Lord DISHY'S policy proposed as one of the remedial measures for Ireland the destruction—for such would be the result—of the very best measure which Lord DERBY had passed for Ireland —the establishment of the national school system! Nothing could be clearer than his demonstration of the success of that system, and of the absurdity of proposing its overthrow as a measure of conci liation. Judging frost a smile on Lord )14.yo's face, the good humoured Irish Secretary admitted the truth of Mr. Hossmam's allegation that he was to be commiserated on being made the official exponent of such a miserable policy as the government proposed for Ireland. The noble lord, said Mr. Holmium, looked into his despatch-box and did not find his policy there; ho fumbled with his papers and did not find it there ; he looked into the face of the Palms Mitusrme, it was not there. The eyes and laughter of the whole house were directed towards Mr. DISRAELI, but the Memphisn Sphynx was WE more impassive than the Pants MENVITIR. You might have expected to read upon him the inscription, " A priest of Amenophis, supposedto be " 4,500 years old." As London's " distant din" only " soothed the sleep " of the Twickenham philosopher, who refused to write "more Essays " on Man," all the Argus eyes of the House of Commons only found the Papa Mumma, more impenetrable than before. He looked the perfec tion of LOYOLA'S training—periskie ac cadatvr. Mr. HORSMAN also remarked with happy effect that at the very time Lord Mayo was proving to the House, by three hours' statistics, the prospe rity of Ireland, and that there was nothing to do, the Constitution was suspended. Mr. Iloassux was not strong in voice on this occasion ; be was frequently obliged to pause and to re fresh himself with a mouthful of water. The burly member for Brighton, who equalised the supply of liquid to Mr. Hoseiurs's demand, incontinently suggested the performance of a similar function at a oelebeated sitting of the OLYMPIANS, by the most awkward of the gods, to the intense amusement of the assembly. Mr. Comics interposed a brief Speech between Mr. Holmium and Mr. Lows, the effect of which was to clear the House of by far the largest portion of its members. The —..uncement that Mr. Lows was " up " caused the House to fill again. The right hon. gentleman, without any preface, plunged into the thickest of the battle. Mr. Lows may have been the author of the phrase " Tipperary tactics." On the floor of the House of Commons, he certainly practices them. He does not, like a leader, mar shal an array, but he fights like a soldier from the ranks. The larger portion of his speech last night consisted of an attack on the land scheme of " his hon. friend " Mr. Mud. ; and it must con fessed he showed no mercy. With his audience it was easy to obtain sympathetic cheers when he rinsed the finely-worn texture of the greet political economist into a ravelled rag, and hung it out as an object to frighten the ravens of revolution from the pastures of property. All the cheering which this part of his speech evoked came from the Con servative side of the homes, and the measure of its effect cannot be better described than by saying that it produced the dawn of a smile on Mr. Dm a assa's countenance. It area sisehnswies when he denounced the exielenee of tke Metal)listed Chunk in Ireland. During ,Al%is part of his oration the Ministerial benches wen mute, Odle LOWS.% VifiliOlS Meld= (for reeed replyit Ina not) on hiepaimpldet, was expected to risewhan Mr. . Lows had concluded, hut Mr.Huonse, Mr.Vattcs, Mr. Jsoos Nunn (who delivered an excellent and well-received maiden speech) and Mr. Awn /Luse interposed. When Mr. Min at length was called on by the flea•naa his rising was accom panied by a sympathetic cheer from several ad miring members below the gangway. All the prejudices which favoured Mr. Lows were op posed to Mr. MILL. He had to work his way up lull against an unwilling, if not a hostile audience, and he had to do this without any of the weapons of the experienced sad adroit orator who knews how to play on the feelings of his audience. Mr. Mtn has but one art—the art of reasoning. His thoughts are nothing if they are not clear, and how clear they are can only be truly known through the pure and pellucid lan pugs of his works. A philosopher in the House of Commons is an anomaly. The precision of Mr. Mrsx's mind would be a fetter on his oratory, even if nature endowed him more abundantly with the physical qualities which go a good way to maks the popular speaker. Al compared with his antagonist, Mr. Low; it may be said of him what the greet AZNAULD said of a ashy competitor in his day, "He has the advan " tags of me in the drawing-room but "he makes way for me on the stair " case." Mr. Lows rolls over opposing obstacles and the rush of his narrow stream is beard at a great distance. Mr. MILL glides so noiselessly by, that you are scarcely aware of the wealth of waters till you actually overlook them. By the simple observation that Mr. Lows's conception of ' political economy was that of a bundle of stiff, unyielding rules and maxims applicable to all times and circumstances, he demolished nine ' tenths of the criticism of the member for Caine. He did not, like Mr. Lows, discard Fenianism as unworthyof oonsideration, for though • it may not be dangerous as a rebellion it was extremely dangerous as a symptom. The Irish in the colonies were not discontented. Why f Because in the colonies Irishmen had every ad . vantage that was denied them at home. They had the land, they had no sectarian church, i they bad even a separate legislature. Thus even under the English crown and under the • English flag, Irishmen could be tranquil and loyal. The analogy was obvious, and the argument was • complete. Mr. MILL explained and defended the plan proposed in his pamphlet, and concluded a long speech at 11 o'clock. The Home SIBCRITART closed the debate in II speech of the true ' official pattern, fluent, plausible, and cautious. He would not at present commit himself to any propo sition for dealing with the Irish Church. Mr. Csicarayssiyoaysscua, the third Iriah Secre tary in the house,resnmea the debate this evening. COURT MOURNING. ONE of the minor "inconveniences" of a regal position is suggested by the death of the ex-King of BAVARIA. Europe had almost forgotten this retired potentate, or if it remembered him at all, it was only in connexion with a notorious dancing woman, who fooled him to the top of his bent before the whole world. Nevertheless, just as we are emerging from the long seclusion of a sacred grief in England we must needs, as custom drives, go into mourning for this nineteenth cousin. Here we see one of the inconveniences referred to. The crowned heads of Europe are nearly all related to each other. They have sons and daughters, and uncles and aunts, and nephews and nieces, and cousins first, second, and third, cousins German and cousins Dutch, cousins Prussian and cousins Russian, by the father's side and the mother's, and every aide. In a family so numerous and so widely ramified deaths are constantly occurring. An actuary could calculate to a nicety how many ought to die every year. Only give him the number of the family, their ages, habits, and state of health, and he will tell us to a week, when we (courtiers) will be required to bring out our black kid gloves and our mourning swords. We were informed the other day that the Queen, out of regard for the interests of trade, would limit the period of mourning for the deceased ex-King of Bavaara. Many of us heard for the first time that the ex-King was our relative. Some of us thought possibly that we might dispense with mourning altogether. None of ua, or very few of us, are insensible to the pro priety of the custom which prescribes the wearing of some outward sign of our grief when a relative or dear friend dies ; but as a rule we do not allow the decease of a very distant relative, for whom we have no regard whatever, to interfere with the social duties which we owe to the living ; still less should the obligation be imposed upon personages who give life and activity to society at large. We are not of those that think that sovereigns are only useful to set the fashions and promote the trade of the mercers' and milliners' shops, but we do think that the custom of going into formal mourning for every remote relation and connection would be more honoured in the breach than the observance.

It I. remarkable that the only sec tion of the Paris press which has not noticed this piece of news is the clerical. The Lent preachers make few allusions to politics, so that one may conclude they are not dissatisfied with the peripatetic, of the Roman question, so far as they have gone. Their eloquence hitherto has been directed chiefly against the Morale itidependante and its suppor ters ; and Paul Forestier, M. Emile Augier's new play. The former subject was treated of on Sun day by Father Felix. It was also discussed a year ago by Father Hyacinth, who, this season, holds forth at the church of St. Louis des Francais, in Rome. The admirers of the eloquent Carmelite accuse Father Felix of being animated rather by a desire to lead hie hearers into drawing comparisons, invidious to the former, between their sermons on morals, as independent of the catholic dogma. Monsignor Bailer, the Proionotaire Apodolique, rn whose eyes M. Emile Angier does not find the favour accorded him at court, seems in a fair way to eclipse the crack orators of the , Jesuits and Carmelites. He is an especial favou rite of the Empress ; and his faith is held by the (Tea k and Gaulle de France to be up to the ortho dox standard. Her Imperial Majesty "sat under him " in the advent of 1867 ; and it was through her influence that a pulpit in the Madeleine has been placed at his disposal. He was brought up in the Israelitiah faith ; and in his sermon. displays the fervour, bordering on intolerance, of a convert of recent date. He preaches twice a week at the Made leine, on Thursday, at an early hour in the after noon, and on Sunday at the close of vespers. His course of religious lectures, or sermons, does not therefore interfere with the ride to the Bois de Boulogne, which on opening days is a distraction no woman of fashion can give up. You ass among his numerous hearers all those celebrities whose daily doings used to be recorded in that column of the Liberte headed monde Parisien, which was suppressed by M. Emile de Girardin on the day that the Chamber decided that la vie privet deaf etre merit. The heraldic paintings on the panels of carriages waiting outside show that Monsignor Batter is alike patronised by the Tuileries, the Faubourg St. Germain, and the wives of Roman catholic ambassadors. An elegant kind of half mourning is donned by the fair and noble penitents, and indeed by the vivacious pro prietors of some basket phaetons at the church door, on whose seat figure pugs and poodles of rare silkiness. This preacher is the most sensational I remember to have heard in Paris. He is cried up as a second Lacordaire, to whom 1 can, however, discover in him so resemblance. The natural vehemence and nervous irritability of that celebrated Dominican, ware tempered and controlled by the scholarly tastes and culture, and the exquisite breeding of a man of fine grain, who had peened the greater part of his life in the best French and Italian society. The bodily feebleness of Laeordaire enhanced his oratorical powers in the pulpit. Mons. Batter, who vainly affects court varnish, has no such in teresting defect. He is more like a Portuguese than • German Jew, and of a mu sculaithough somewhat emaciated frame, indicative of energy and en durance. I doubt if Lsoordaire would be able to carry away from Batter the suffrages of a fashion able Paris congregation at the present time. The rude liebraisms of the latter excite and keep alive the attention of people who have few serious occu pations, and in the whirl of frivolity no time for the cultivation of taste. We cannot tell with what feelings the Roman governors of Syria would have listened to Cicero ; but we know that they were stirred by the lass polished elo quence of Paul of Tarsus ; and so, those who were unmoved by Laeordaire may, like Felix and Agrippa, be touched, if not °cu retted, by Batter. The race of which this preacher oases is at onoe diseernaide in his features. His fervid seal is united to singular coolness. This combination forms a salient trait in his style. Shakespeare gives it as • distinctive one in Sky lock, who in all the rage of disappointed vengeance, matting under the irony of Portia, tarns quietly round and asks what about his principal. Mon signor Batter doss not shrink from calling a spade a spade. He is familiar with Gavarni's vosshulary, and fond of drawing on it. He explains himself with an originality akin to youseases, bat in a fine, clear, vibrating voice directed by a just ear. His picturesque pone 4 are said to be studied by petits trivia de u • Of gaining laurels in tab/coax v.'wwits.

He attempted to trr oe to its origin Evil, to explain why its existe, snd to demonstrate ita neoemity. In treating this vast subject he m a a vivid sketch of Parisian society. But I think by hearers would have been better pleased had he been more pessimist, and not transmuted their im morality into a kind of moral guano, which will at some future period help to strengthen s nobler and more Christian civilisation. THE TODMORDEN TRAGEDY.-DEATH OF THE REV. MR. PLOW. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY Nrcirr. The Rev.
