NAY 2L THAT Mr. Dienamt has made a brilliant and OftetiTe speech, no one can deny. It was telling, it was pointed, it was vigorously sarcastic. It may be a question how far it was judicious. Prom its twee it may be fairly inferred that he and his friends are fully aware that their late maps ea Mr. CARDW ALL'S and.. Swam them no prolonged vomits from attack, and that they believe a mare real sod vital struggle of parties is at hand. Were it otherwise, the CHanczuka of the Excannuen would hardly have deemed it prudent to memo the lempage of ridicule and defiance is which he has so freely and so deliberately in &Aged. Open exultation at a great success, even theigh it be caused by. the disunion of imailente rather than by the prowess of your own form, is perhaps a pardonable though certainly not an nameestiouable imprudence ; but exultation is cue thing, and actual provocation is another. When the captain of a beleaguered garrison sallies forth to parolee his retreating foes, and challenges them to return to the breach or roofer themselves yen quished swaggerers and impostors, he either ems mite the gravest of indiscretions, or executes the men daring of movements for the sake of its effect on the morale of his own adherents se well as that of their antagonists. There will doubtless be many who will ascribe the after-dinner speech it Mr. DISZJAILJ at Slough to men vainglarying and Lactation. They will say that it is only of a piece with his rash pro mise to adhere to Lord ELL/JIBOILODOWN hap less India Bill just before he was compelled formelly to withdraw it, and with his squally hasty disclosers of the content' of Lad num. 30101:101e11 memorable despatch. Mr. Mirowitz and every learned prig after his kind will naturally szelaim that this is but another proof of the unfit mess of any man to be entrusted with the tying or untying of Cabinet tapes, that has not regularly served his time to some of the initiated in the bureaucratic craft. They will sneer at the want of reticence and judgment displayed in thus taunting and twitting a baffled party, whose numerical strength is still confessedly so formidable, instead of being content to repose on the victory won for the outnumbered host, not by than. Oa the other hand, people who are disposed to look dispassionately at the whole affair will be tempted to ask whether there may not have been purpose and design in what looks at first view se iike foolhardiness. What if the keen-witted leader of the Tory party, embarrassed by the difficulties of hie position, and conscious of the internal weak ness of his ostensible forte, felt that some animal bat was necessary to rally back to their hearts the languid current of party and clam prejudices, and to reanimate them, aa in former days, with the courage and constancy indispensable to their preservation as a hat? What if, seeing is the late suicidal failure of the Opposition an oca• Mon for triumph sad bravado such as might never occur again, he resolved, in concert with his admi nistrative colleagues, that they should avail them selves of it, and try at any hasard to put pluck into their awn ? Why not come out of their entrench ments, and show the world that they were not • bit the worse for the last encounter, and not a bit afraid of another, no matter what might be the odds against them ? Popalar feeling is alwaye much disposed to lean towards the " little fellow " if he shows spirit, and to jeer his bigger antagonist, ape- Many if he shows any sign of wavering. The laws of prise-fighting are probably immutable, and the morality and logic of the ring are much the same whether the rounds are fought in some Nameless geld or at historic Westminster. There is another upset, however, in which the remarkable speech of Lard Denny's lirst-lientaseat will middy be viewed. Bat seven days have yet elapsed does Lard PALIMILISON was fain te mike a vistas of neemeity, and to signal Mr. CairsweLL te till beak i yet already there are symptoms sot to be mistaken of an intention to renew the attack sad it is sot beyond the Waite of possibility that ere another week elapses the unappeued desire of party emellist oa the part of party leaders should be deve loped is asw circumstances and DOW forms.

Bat Mr. DUILAILI may well be raged he being seeptiial as to the duration of obstinacy on the part of these Whig loaders who have so lately been made to feel that their day of dictation has paned, and that their dream of monopoly and minion can never be realised again.

Above all, they must invite attack instead et abiding it, and precipitate collision, if they would /1114 be crushed by it. While the sins of their rivals are still fresh in remembrance, and as yet they have net had much time to perpetrate very many of their awn, it may well be thought prudent of the Derbyite Oabinet to defy their oligarchic predominates to seasure their strength with them, rather than wait mail the dibria of the last Administration has been heal is a general reconstruction of a Progressive If this be the true explanation of the bold sad dulling harangue delivered by the CHANCLLLOII of the EICHIQUIS on Wednesday last, it will not appear to be so imprudent as a superficial glance would lead us to imagine. Audacious though it be, It may not perhaps turn out to have been maladroit, sad the performance, however melodramatic, will be adjudged to have in it more of plot than of pumice. Tan proximate retirement of Mr. Justice Cots- RIDGE from that seat on the Judicial Bench whit*, with so much credit to himself and so much benefit te the country, he has occupied for the long period of three•and-twenty years, baa thrown upon Lord CIIILMICIILD the responsibility of appointing a new Judge. The gentleman upon whom his choice has fallen is Mr. Hvon HILL, QC., an eminent practitioner at the Common-law Bar, and for some time ewe of the leaders of the Northern Circuit. The 1/111Hissms voice of the profession will pronounce this selection to be in all senses unexceptionable. The truth of the old maxim, that it is office only which proves the man, has rarely been better illustrated than in the difficulty of conjectur ing beforehand whether any given lawyer of distinction will maintain on the Bench the reputation he has achieved at the Bar. Many learned jurists and many brilliant advocates bans proved compare. tive failuus u Judges, while others from whom little woe expected have made very valuable and ex cellent magistrates. In the exercise of his very responaible office, however, the CHANCELLOR cannot go far wrong if he takes the general opinion of West minster-hall as his guide in the selection he has to make. The habits of a gregarious profession, whine each man works ander the vigilant inspection of acute and thoroughly informed fellow-practitioners, are eminently favourable to the formation of as cor rect a judgment as can be obtained beforehand with regard to the probable fitness of any given barrister for promotion to the Bench. It is not only the in tellect, but the moral character—it is not only the moral character, but the temper and the manners, that are daily pat apon their trial before the most competent and not the most lenient of armors, in the course of an erten/live, practice at the Bar. Tried by these tests, the new appointment is a thoroughly satisfactory one. Quite irrespective of politics, and apart from all reference to any other wand/ration than eminent fitness foe the post, Mr. Huhu HILL is, on the whole, the best man that could have been selected for the vacant ludgship. His range of common-law learning is extensive and prebend; areedy and retentive memory gives him a facile command over its accumulated stores; his judgment is sound, his acuteness considerable, and although by no means eloquent, he possemes a copious flow of precise and accurate limper, well adapted to juridical argument or lucid expoei tion. Mr. HUGH HILL, like Sir Howl CAIRNS, is a native of the sister country, which, in the persons of Sir SAMUIL MARTIN and Sir Jaunt WILLES, has already given two judges to Westminster HalL That three out of our fifteen chief magistrates should be from the other side of St. George's Channel can hardly be cited as an in stance of injustice to Ireland. It is probably as striking a proof u could well be given that the honour, and emoluments of the empire are impar tially open to all the citizens of the United lingdom. Sir Joint TAYLOR COLERIDGE, who vacates his seat on the bench at the close of the present term, will any with him into his retirement the reaped and good wishes of the profession. Hews@ not only as able lawyer, but a thoroughly cultivated scholar. The singular brilliancy of his Oxford career is still a tradition in that famous seat of learning. He is well known, throughout the whole course of his forensic and judicial labours, to have blended the amenities of literature with the graver studies of the law. As a leading member of the Oxford University Commission he has entitled himself to the espe cial thanks of every one interested in the highest branches of English education ; and it is not his fault if the Report of the Committee on Legal Edu cation, in which he also took a prominent part, her not as yet led to more eatiallictory results. It is to be hoped that by the prosecution of these and kindred objects, Mr. Justice Col.salhoz may still find the MOMS of doing the State good service in the well earned repose of his honourable retirement. (oosoruniceran) To the two great political parties as well as to the public at large the recent proceedings in Parliament ought to present warnings on the largest scale against those measures proposed for the future go vernment of India, which literally take power from deliberation and give it to indeliberation. - The one side may be asked to consider what they are doing in striving to augment the power of future Ellen boroughs. The other aide may be asked to ponder on the proceedings to which they are urged for aug menting the power of future Vernon Smiths. Both sides may be asked whether there is any reasonable prohabihty, ander the conditions of direct parlia mentary—i.e., party—government, that there will often be better appointments, or indeed such good ap pointments as that afforded by the original promise ' of Lord Ellenborough, the pet of the old Duke of Wellington. We take the declared convictions on both aides as being on this question each true of the other. The third party, the public at large, may now be asked to consider calmly the examples re cently presented to them of the working of the de liberative element, by a council having previous knowledge and giving their whole time to the sub ject, as contrasted with what may be called, by com parison at any rate, the indeliberate element—the parliamentary functionary, whose attention is di- Tided between his Indian and his parliamen tary or party duties. Let it be considered that the public development of the mutually proclaimed defects in the conduct of the parliamentary officers has in reality been accidental. The display in the ease of Ali Moored, of an Indian prince, by hiring a member of the legislature, getting back a terri tory which it had, upon fall inquiry, been pro nounced he had obtained by forgery, was perhaps the more full display of the working of the In deliberate element through the parliamentary chief, as contrasted with the deliberative element, which, being leas exposed to the parliamentary influences, refused, upon the mere i mmure of thaws influences, to annul a disinterested judgment. This are affords the more full display, because it is an example of its working on more frequent and less extraordinary occasions. The display of the case before Parliament was entirely accidental—of acci dental individual revenge or passion ; yet of what avail was the working of the so-called direct reepoa sibility to Parliament ?—what the encouragement to similar disclosures, or the prosecution of future offences before Parliament from any sense of public duty ? But for party paella' as well as accidental individual resentment, the de clared maladministra tion of the parliamentary chief in the later in. stance would have passed with as little notice or re sponsibility of any sort being attached to his conduct se was attached to the conduct of Sir John Cam Hobhouae for the disastrous Affghan war, its sacrifice of life and upwards of nine millions of money, against the remonstrances of the delibera tive council, which, if it had been empowered, would have protected the State from the evils which betel it. Let those who consider the operation of the two admi nistrative elements involved be on their gaud against being deceived as to their real nature and necarary working by any changes in their external forms and paraphernalia. Let them weigh the two examples which we some days ago gave of tie working of changes precisely analogous in principle, the aboli tion of the deliberative 'Poor-Law Board of perma nent Poor-Law Commiasioners, and of the delibera- Lire Board of Health composed also of permanent commissioners, and the substitution for them of single-seated presidents directly responsible to Parliament. Let them consider the conse quences, the improvement of poor-law administra tion checked at its oommenoement, the law of paro chial settlement maintained, and the burthen of the rates augmented in extensive districts almost to their former amount; the administrative arrangements for the promotion of health and physical im- ' provement broken up into fragments and ruinous confusion. If the facts, of which we havegiven only brief indications in these lines, be duly considered, it will be seen that instead of abrogating the deliberative element, the public safety requires that its more full and free operation should be ensured, and that in England it is the working of the executive element which re quires new checks and securities. Administrative execution must be mainly in India ; for England it is mainly legislative deliberation alone, and as a last resort, that can be usefully exercised ; and here with due arrangements for fall and trustworthy in formation it may be best exercised with the least Lies from local interests and local passions. But here our governments, instead of developing this element of safety, are, if the public sense permits them, taking the most effectual means (devised by men whom both sides declare to be incompetent for legislation) to extinguish it. regain the still coveted position ONMII i. at all events a probsbiliti Ray be autarkic!.

INT ELLIG: THE ,1 EGYPT. THE FATAL ACCIDENT TO AHMET PACHA. (nom OOR OWN ;1111.) ALEXANDRIA, M 16. My telegram of to-day's date will have informed your readers of the great loss this country has ins tinned. It is certainly a most unfortunate circum stance that his Highness Ahmet Pacha should happen to be the victim of the first railway accident we have had here ever since the line was opened. According to report, he very reluctantly allowed himself to be persuaded by hie relatives to ooroe down from Cairo to pay his respects to his uncle, the Viceroy, on the occasion of the Beira festival' ; and immediately after having gone through the mull ceremony on the morning of the 14th current, he hurried to the railway station, accompanied by several distin guished personages, including his Highness Halim Pasha, brother to the Viceroy, and reached the place just in time to catch the up-train that was to bring him to his untimely death. The train, as usual, started and arrived safely at Kafer-Lain, where passengers generally alight to crow the Nile in a steamer, bet, as on all occasions when princes are on the line, the ferry is held in readiness to con vey them across in their carriages. The Arabs in charge, on pushing the waggons on the ferry, very carelessly omitted to put on the shappens, and the four waggons, one after the other, dropped into the Nile. As soon as it was perceived that the wheels of the first carriage had got over the side of the ferry, the alarm was instantaneously given, but, alas! too late to be of any avail, as Ahmet Penh*, with his smite, together with Rifest Bey, Minister of Commerce, and Kernidin Pacha, formerly director of the transit administration, perished. Halm Pasha very miraculously escaped by jumping into the Nile, whence he was rescued by some of the English railway employes, whose indefatigable ex ertions in trying to save some of their fellow creatures merit great praise. This disastrous news was received shortly after the accident occurred, and both the European colony and the whole Arab population could not help manifesting how deeply they felt the sudden lass of the man in whom the hope of Egypt rested. He was the eldest son of the late Ibrahim Pacha, and the eldest living prince of Mehemet Ali's family, consequently, successor to the present Viceroy. Under his rale the prosperity of the conntry would have been certain. Besides his many good qualities, he was the only one of the Egyptian princes who acknowledged that it was to England that Egypt was indebted for her present improved condition. He was a great admirer of all that was Engliah, sympathised with English ideas, and knew that there was much to be gained by cultivating the friendship of the British cabinet. Twenty-four hours before he ceased to exist, he was heard to say that the cutting of the Isthmus of Suez would be the ruin of Egypt. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. ("nom OVI °war PARIS. Ta1776/DAT IiVINDIO. The Conference will, I believe, meet again to morrow, although there is a report that it has ad journed till Saturday week. Within a fortnight that powerful, capricious, and as yet imperfectly-tested political engine—universal seftrege--will have an opportunity of showing its mode of working in every department of France. The triennial elections of the Councils-General and the councils of arrondissement, are fixed for the 12th and 13th of June. Since the establishment of the empire these elections have never been of the slightest interest. Except in very rare instances, the government candidates have walked over the course. It has been all but universally considered either impartible or useless to oppose the mandates of the prefects. In the present state of feeling in France these elections will not be so unimportant as they have hitherto been. lam far from thinking that anything like a considerable majority of votes will be given against the government. For such a remit the time is by no means rife. The opposition, which thought itself crushed, is only just beginning to have a consciowiness of its strength, but there is as yet ne strength to make a demonstration on a large scale against a government based upon mili tary power, and which is known to have accorded forms of popular election, only because it believed in the possibility of always moulding them accord ing to its will. Nevertheless there is, I am con vinced, a feeling now prevalent throughout the country which will make itself felt in an appreciable degree at the local elections now coming off. Any considerable motes against a government aocus tomed to look not for an overwhelming majority, but for all but unanimity in its favour, will be very important as a guide to the state of public opinion in the country. The Slick ventures to publish an article exhorting the electors not to abstain from voting. It does not dare to tell them which way they are to vote, but the counsel will be understood. The &isle, in dwelling upon the importance of the mission of the Councils-Ge neral, calls attention to the curious fact that, by the . existing constitution, they have in one particular a greater power than the legislative body. They have as "initiative," although • restricted one. They may peas resolutions telling the government what they want, whereas no member of the Corps Legis latif can bring forward any motion whatever. The legislature can only my " yes" or "no" to questions proposed to them by government. Mild as this article is, its influence will be great, and I have no doubt that private orders will be given to the press not to dwell upon the subject. An important piece of news reaches me this evening from Alencon. The prefect of the depart ment in which that town is situated has, it is said, announced that the government will not designate any eandidate, but will leave the electors free to vote according to their personal sympathies. Whether this policy is to be general or merely local I cannot say. If the former, I can only commend the wisdom of the innovation. The r.mperor has given it to be understood that he does not intend to visit Lorient this summer. as wallet one time expected, and the local authorities, wbs wave shoat to isms to Paris to give him as limitation, ham been ordered not to take the tioable. The Bourse eistinsea to be exceedingly dull. The Reale fell 6fr. for cash, and 10e. for account, closing at 01Mr. 6k. in each ease. There was scarcely any business doing. Mobilise rose 2fr. 60e., but was far from buoyant. The railways were depressed by the returns of the first quarter's receipts for 1868, which dew a diminution al 18 per east as simpered with the earrespondiag period of 1867. The lest week's receipts are also =favourable. Nevertheless the Northern Railway roes 6fr. and Orleans 2fr. 50e. The other lines were a trifle lower. 'ED STATIO. NT =sand° 121.101API.)

The Journal des Dads imam that the " Cag liari Question" will out out work for the English parliguneet Immediately after the rear : "It is to be Mimed trout the unanimous language of the opposition journals that the pretext for the next attest against the 'similar, wlll s be the Cagliari affair. The unjust &tendon of Watt aed Park, the Klug's delay, and the equivocal despatch lately remind by Lord Malcombary, are all exciting topics, and the English government will probably be severely called to account for its loureuffeeing. The rumour runs, moreover, that Naples intends to treat with Piedmont sad England esparesely, and to rive more or lees satiated= to the stronger power in order to ha the batter enabled to set the wester at idioms,. The premat oppodtiou Leder, who were in power at the oossasememsent al this lair, and who have bequeathed it to their 11110011•90 r• very much as it was, know better than 'arms elm what are the special difficulties which cripple the action of the English governasst. Nothing would at first debt appear more simple, nothing more conformable to the feelings of England than to support energeticaliy the demands of Piedmont, and to make common canes of the grievances of the two states in order to detain a mom= reparation. But the question becomes singularly complicated when we consider the good relations established between Great Britain and Austria. The affair of the Cag liari is of secondary importance when compered with certain questions on which thew powers have agreed ; and it cannot enter into the ideas of the English government to press so heavily on Naples as to eariondy alarm Austria. The action of the Derby cabinet against Naples is, there fore, confined to certain fixed limits, with which the °prod tion leaders are the better acquainted since they did not step beyoad them when in power, and would not outstrip them were they to return to aloe. It will not be difficult for the opposition to turn to account the undecided attitude which the English govern ment is condemned te assume both towards its Sled/aim ally and the foolish government which seta it at damn* For it is impossible net to see that the Court of Naples knows precisely the place which the Cagliari occupies in the general scheme of English politic*, and is aware to a nicety how far Ragland can go. The =Wens and habits at the Neapolitan government must have greatly changed if it IN not disposed to avail limit of such • favourable situation to make • safe display of courage. The calm and unpunished obstinacy of Naples, the compulsory moderation at England, the legitimate and clamorous complaints of Sardinia, render the Cagliari question a good laid of attack for the opposition, and it would not be very difficult, with proper skill, to humble and embarrass the cabinet. But, after all, the cabinet could remind its adversaries that they displayed equal indecision In this question. It might finally appeal with frankness to the practical good sense of the English public, and ask of it plainly whether the pleasure of bumbling Naples and of obliging Sardinia would merit the merinos of the good un derstanding existing with Austria on points of far greater importance for England and for Europe than the Cagliari matter.
