THE LIBERAL " WHIP." THERE was, it cannot be denied, • felici tous opportuneness in the convivial solemnity at Willis's Rooms on Saturday evening. A testimonial dinner to commemorate the long services of the late " Whip " of the Liberal members is a singularly appropriate and seasonable entertainment on the eve of a great party debate. This week is to decide whether in a parliamentary sense the Liberal party can be said to exist in the present House of Commons as an organised force under an appointed chief, or whether as an Opposition it has degenerated into a fortuitous concourse of intrigues and ambitions which a PRIME MINISTER may manage as an Eastern traveller manages the Arab tribes of the desert. The institution of " Whip" is, as Mr. GLADSTONE remarked, peculiarly British : it is the product of • race of fox hunters, and of government by party. In no other parliamentary country could such an institution be conceivable. Perhaps, if the whole truth must be told, it derives whatever lustre and importance may accompany it here and now, from the somewhat questionable traditions of a past age, when political purity was not so much professed or political corruption was not so well disguised. The roots of our parliamentary institu tions have flourished in a rich but rank soil, and in the management of parties and the conduct of elec tions the purest of principles have not always trusted for success to the austereet morality. But we must take human nature, and political human nature, aa we find it, and not attempt to be righteous over much. It is to party government and party organisation that we owe at least our public liberties. Whatever may be thought of the functions of a Whip who happens to be also the Patronage Secretary, there can be no question of the unimpeachable character of the intercourse between the Whip of the Oppo salon and the party who answer to his call. In deed, in these latter days a Whip's office must be always beyond reproach. As Mr. Busse said on Saturday evening, " in the relations which exist " between you and me there ie nothing to reflect " upon the honour of either." Mr. BRAND has served his party during many years of varying fortune, under Lord Panizawrox and Lord Russel. L's leaderships, and always with a vigilant activity and unwearied patience, a perfect tact ' and temper, a courtesy and circumspection, which deserved and won unanimous regard. Even ' political adversaries would gladly acknowledge that no public man ever deserved better of his party, and, indeed of the whole House, by his :character and conduct in a position of great delicacy, than the right hon. gentleman to whom • the testimonial was presented on Saturday night. It must be regretted that Mr. BRAND should have retired from the office he filled so well at a crisis in the fortunes of his party. His successor finds himself beset with difficulties which it was never Mr. BRAND'S lot to encounter. The good easy times are past ; the days of trial and conflict are come. • The Liberal party of the PALMERSTON period has dissolved into its original elements. The Liberal partyof the GLADSTONE epoch is not yet represented in the House of Commons. The new Liberal Whip will need all the great qualities of his predecessor and some other qualities of which hie predecessor had no need. Much, indeed, in the conduct of a parliamentary party depends not on the " Whip " but on the huntsman. But what avails even the best of huntsmen, if there is neither quarry, nor scent, nor pack, but only a loose and disorderly " field I" Few documents more remarkable have ever been presented to Parliament than the petition from the former or present Heads of Houses, Professors, Examiners, , and Fellows of Colleges in the University of Cambridge, in favour of Mr. Coutitinoe's, University Teats Abolition Bill. Within a week, more than two hundred names have been affixed to it. They represent almost every element that constitutes Cam bridge a seat of learning and a centre of mental activity. The thought and scholarship and spirit of research which animate the Univer sity are here brought into a focus ; and as the highest intellectual endowments and richest cultivation are seldom divorced from the noblest moral endowments, we are not surprised to find eminent men who differ in everything else, united in a plea for equal justice, and ins protest against sectarian privilege. The petitioners pray that the restrictions and disabilities which debar many of her MAJESTY'S subjects from the full enjoyment of the benefits offered by the Uni versity may be removed ; and that the Oxford and Cambridge Universities Tests Bill may become a law. While the mind of the University declares itself in favour of Mr. COLARIIX3I . B Bill, the men who are nominally its representatives, but who really repre sent nothing but a predominant political party within it, and clerical influences outside it, will cer tainly be found voting against the measure. It is well that it should be known how little Mr. SPENCER WALPOLR and MT. BRIJ/AVOID Hors are really en titled to speak for any more than the academic and clerical rabble of the University Senate. The elite are on the other side. The names which are appended to the petition do not belong to any generation, school, or party at Cambridge. The old Toryism of the late Lord Chief Baron Sir PRIDE RICK POLLOCK, the Solicitor and Attorney-General of successive Conservative administrations, and the youthful Radicalism of the Professor of Political Economy, are found on the same side. One college contributes the two alts THE four "smooth-faced young-looking lade" tinguished names of the Rev. F. D.

A petition which bears the signatures of Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK and of Professor EIKDOWICK, records the mature judgment and the long experience of men versed in public and academic life, and relieves the measure they recommend from the possible charge of being dictated by the impulse of faithful ardour or of reckless innovation. The intellectual and moral weight due to the suggestions in which they are associated with TYNDALL, MAURICI, KIM:OMIT, AIRY, ALFORD, BABBAGE, BIZLIST, CLARK, FAWCETT, FARRAR, and LUSHING TON is overpowering The prevalent conception of a University Don as an obstructive and illiberal em ' bodiment of the obsolete traditions of academic re striction and privilege, needs, it would seem, to be reversed. The spirit of Cambridge is free and i tolerant ; and all that is necessary is that a power without 'should undo the bonds under which its better minds chafe, and which they are compelled unwillingly to lay upon others. It will be difficult to persuade the public that Mr. WALPOLZ and Mr. Hops speak the spirit of the University better than the men whose names are appended to the petition in favour of Mr. Cotarsnos's Bill. they . At 2 o'clock his clerk Foal) (17) retuned, and on being charged as an atoomplioe admitted that " the affair had been talked of for some time " put ; " while the other clerk JAcseow (22) 1 had collected some money of his master's and decamped to London, where he was subsequently tracked and taken by the polies. The coimeel for the defence attempted to Naiads the notice that lads would dress up for the sake of robbing a Nis they could have got at more easily at another time, and spoke of frolicsome revenge for reproofs and • determination to chastise • hush master as motives for the assault. Under the direction of Mr. Justice Mama: the jury arrived most properly at • very different conclusion, and we have only to hope that the sentence pseud by him will be proportionate to the seriousness of the agues. AN awakening of sympathy amongst his superiors and his increased importance to the State give the agricultural labourer a promise of better days. The presentation of a guinea or a medal at the Annual Show as a reward for the services of a life ; the toast of " The labourer " at the fag-end of a dinner, the patronising avowal of a sentimental regard, and the tantalising assurance of a common interest—are giving way to something more sub stantial A oonferenie at Willis's Rooms, comprising landowners, tenant-farmers, university professor., and others, was engaged for four houri on Saturday afternoon in debating the vexed and delicate wages question. Canon Cinenzairrowx opened the subject in a temperate manner, oon eluding with a series of resolutions, the most re remarkable of which proposed the for mation of a labourers' trades union. Despite l an earnest opposition led by Lord NONTN- Bsoox, and based chiefly on the ground that unionism would produce deplorable effects in the hands of ignorant rustics, the principle of combination among agricultural labourers was sanctioned by a majority of 29 to 24. A committee was formed to carry out the principle thus approved, by organising a union, and framing a code of rules, the re sult to be submitted to a future conference. We regard this decision with anxiety. The opera tion of unions in other trades has not prepared us to welcome them among a class who are the least able to use the power which combination places in their hands with justice and intelligence. When we see the rules, however, we shall to better qualified to judge how far the proposed organisa tion is likely to be a boon. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.)

Continuing to urge with much emphasis the adoption of Mr. Gladstone's resolutions, the Times argues that it is a very limited apprehension of Fenianiant which declares that the established church has nothing to do with it. It is true that the declaration that the esta blished church of Ireland as an establishment must eons cannot be immediately followed by nation. It is not desir able that any attempt should be made to carry It into effect in the present parliament. A reformed House of Com mons must meet next spring, and to that assembly must be relegated the duty of ratifying the declaration of the present house and of devising the means of accomplishing it. Nor is it of more than party importanoe who stud' have the conduct of affairs in the interval. Mr. Disraeli may, in accordance with the practice of the constitution, deny that the present House of Commons expresses the opinion of the country, and may claim to retain his present position until the issue can be submitted to the new con stituencies. This is a question about which officials and ex officials may grow warm, but with respect to which the nation is profoundly indifferent. What is impatient is that the House of Commons should give as sonnet of the legislation of the future, and offer a pledge to the Irish people by declaring at mum the necessity of abating the Irish establishment ; nor can any member refuse to join in it, whatever pretence of explanation he may suggest, without being convicted of indifference to wrong, and o/ unreeliness to assist in removing it. The Daily New observes that the noble language of Mr. Gladstone's speech at the dinner of Mr. Brand on Saturday will impress upon all who read it at ones a sense of the gravity of the crisis, and a feeling of relief sod gratitude that England has among her statesmen at least one man who is equal to the great tasks of government, and whose wont fault is his superiority to the petty arts of party management and intrigue. The hearty response given to the tribute which Yr. Brand paid on Saturday to the liberal chief, and the reoeptioa awarded to Er. Glad stone himself, were a reiognition of the fast that the days of political poooonrantisin are ever, sad that the time has come for earnest work under earnest leaders. No language could be worse chosen than that of Lord Stanley's motion. What the house is called on fo do is not, like a defaulting bankrupt, anxious to coined the truth of his delinquencies, to admit something, but to express an opinion; not to make an admission which, when made, will amount to nothing but idle words ; but to declare its opinion as to the *continuance of the Irish church. The Herald contends that the amendment which Lord Stanley will move deals with Mr. Gladston's resolutions in the only manner is which they deserve to be dealt with. Mr. Gladstone himself, and the clique of Itelf-e -doses who helped him to draw up his resolutions, oars little or nothing about the Irish church. They wend maintain it if anything could be got by its maintenance ; they assail it when the asset seems to offer any chases of obtaining office. The nuns of proceeding, according to the Peg, will be this : Mr. Gladstone will move that the house do neolve itself into • committee for the purpose d oonsderiag the resolutions of whisk he has given nodes, and Lord Stanley will thereupon move his amendment. On the issue thus raised • debate will follow, which will last the week, and in which the entire question of disestablish' DUOS will be thoroughly ventilated. If the merman are victorious, the matter will then end. If, however, they are beaten, the disonsidee of the resolutions in own 'Atlas will take place alter the cusses. The Hor and the Tskpraraft continue to support Mr. Gladstose's resointioes; sal to insist that they daeload the votes of the Mend pert". TIM J131:10111317 IS TIM err.

(MOM OM OWN 00111WOWDZIIT.) PARIS. SUNDAY EVINING. The Patric says that M 9 to-morrow morning an extraordinary meeting of the Privy Council and the Ministers, with the Emperor in the chair, will take place, to." consider the question of the elec tions, on which the government has already taken the advice of the prefects." This announcement strikes me as extremely important. Why, if the session is to go on to its natural termina tion, should such a rare thing as • meeting of the Privy Council with ministers take place just now to consider • " question" of elections I It looks to me very likely that the deputies, who at M. 011ivier's urgent request, got leave to go to their country houses for three weeks, will never be summoned again. Such a deception for them would be a coup de theatre, though not a coup ifidat. This note in the Patric is to me a most striking commentary on various articles in the semi-official press about a dissolution, which I did not hitherto think worth much attention. It does not, however, follow that although the "ques tion "of the elections may be considered in the imperial council to-morrow any resolution will be taken. It is commonly said now that the Emperor does not know his own mind from one day to another. The Bishop of Poitiers, M. Anatole Lemercier, and another deputy, all notorious ultramontaniate, had an interview with the Emperor lately, and it is said they were delegates from the church party to treat about the terms on which the church would support government candidates at the next election. The clerical journals are not at tee on this subject. Some of them do not hesitate to say that the worst enemy of the church is the Emperor, and that the faithful ought to vote against every official candidate ; but practical papists are more accommodating. They look coldly at the Emperor's necessities, and, making out a badness-like debtor and creditor account, calculate what they may get out of him. "Il y a awe is eiel des aecisessnodemetits" is their maxim. The election of M. des Rotoun at Lille was undoubtedly a reward to the Emperor for the defeat of Gleribaldi at Mentana, and it is, un fortunately for the cause of mankind, but too probable that the church and the eldest son of the church while slanging each other to a certain extent before the public, will come to s private under standing very inimical to freedom, reason, and justice ; all which things are abhorrent to the church, and only get lip service from the Empire. Miss Cora Pearl, an Englishwoman, some time sines domiciled in Paris, with whose name news paper readers of all countries have had opportuni ties of being familiar, has just gained a lawsuit against one of her numerous purveyors of costly articles of vertu.

Ciudad has, daring the last week or so, caused a great deal of gossip in the neighbourhood of Stourbridge. Th e church, yesterday morning, was open an hour before the time for the commencement of the service, and peopl e began to as even at that unusual time. Ere lon g they swarmed in in large numbers, and every part of the *arch wee crowded. The rector took his test lat Cor , 4th '4lllPter te l shall ow Nut 'l'4jtry:Oiled Jots or EMU': h it 2 s h sj b au e dvgra w M as esi ls; ll{theinwg.'t owned his recent marriage with one of plebeian birth, mid the superintendent of his domestic establiabrueot: that they had no right to judge her or him. If they did so, to be judged of them ought to be, and most assuredly would be, a very small thing. But nevertheless, to avoid all reasonable reuse of offence, and to justify in their sight—unless, indeed, their mental ophthalmia was utterly irremediable—what was incongruous, he should, in consequence of his connexion with Ohm as their rector, afford them some explanation. Though it might appear to some egotistic, he began by telling them more particularly who, by birth and connexion he was. He was the eldest son of a thldier, second to the great duke alone. Such was his unrivalled renown that an the year 1806, though only a colonel—and tho appointment of • man of his rank was entirely without • precedent—he was raised, for special purposes, to the grade of brigadier, that he might be sent out w ith an expedition as loader. Were not money the object of his (the preacher's) utter scorn, he might adduce boartingly the fact that his father's share of prize money we, estimated to exceed half • million. A large and most unnecessary addition was made to the force, and, as all the officers of higher rank would have been lady to throw up their oornmiasioas if so large a force were entrusted to a bri gadier, his father was superseded, and, under a cowardly commander, a disgraceful failure ensued. His father army rank and standing were ouch that, if he bad not prematurely fallen before the walls of Roderigo—as, alas! he would not but for the too chivalrous and more than knightly courage with which he exposed himself on the top of a gleam, shouting his orders at a pitch of voice which drew 011 him the whole fire from the enemy bad he not thus prematurely fallen, he would, on the con. elusion of the war, as a were matter of course, from his abilities as a soldier, have been elevated to the peerage, and raised therein at last one step. He was the friend of Queenabury, of Granville, of Winnham e and of Moore. He was the friend and moat intimate associate of the father of our present Queen, and in his youth was an objcet of favourable regard to the heroic Frederick of Prussia. The gal Lust Marquis of Londonderry loved him as a brother, and followed him heart-broken to the grave. He was inferior in opportunity alone to Nelson, Abercrombie, and Moore. Such was his gallant father. s regarded his ancestry he would only say it was not unconnected with the heroin Wallace, and that he was at least collaterally allied to, if not descended from, the lords of Cranford, who ruled their broad domains in all the majesty of feudal state for centuries before the many mushrooms who swarmed at the present day had sprouted from their native dunghilL He would not trouble them with en ac. taint of Ms mother'a good, but less illustrious, family. Before he attained his highest elevation, an offer of mar riage was made to one of that family by the Emperor of She French, and by her rejected. Mr. Craufurd than detailed the aristocratic alliances of his uncle, Sir James Craufurd, his cousins, Colonel Alexander enacted, and Sir George Cranfurd ; and his h eaved uncle, who supplied to him • father's place, Lieut.-General Sir Charles Cranfurd, whose wife was • daughter of the Earl of Harrington, and widow of the Duke of Newcastle. Such was the thrt of alliance which, in point of birth and connexion ' he might have fairly expected , and when • man in that parish had the effrontery to aspire to the hand of one of his daughters, thou& he bad never spoken • word to her in his life, the highest lady in the land could not have been more as branded and indignant when he told her of the insult she had received, and ha felt his insolence could not have been greater if he had demanded the daughter of a duke. It was partly to save them from the repeti. Nog of the insult, that he permitted them to fix their residenes elsewhere. A woman who married beneath her station fell to her husband's level, and was disgraced for ever, with scarcely an exception. For it was the ap pointment of God that the man should rule over the woman, and that the wife should be in subjection to her husband. But by the usages of society, if a man married one of inferior pollinate, instead of falling to the ranks of his wife, he exalted her to his, and online a feeble fool— and such should remain unmarried except they found • strong•minded woman—unless a feeble fool, or careless of his beauty, and • traitor to his trust, • lowly woman, whom God's providence might have guided him to manT, and thus committed to his care, would, under his undue= care, be raised, in structed, refined, and made in all respects ft helpmeet for him. With such • woman (confined Mr. Cranford) it had been his will and pleasure to form an alliance—an alliance little more in accordance with his rank—and be wax sure his wife would pardon him in saying it—than was that which occurred when King Cophetur espoused the beggar gill Well, he had married her, and pray what thin • ?
