Axoxa the changes which the Reform Bill may be expected to produce, perhaps the most desirable of all is an improvement in the tone of politics. It is impossible not to perceive that for some years past the tone of political life has been rapidly deteriorating, and that the highest states manship Las been less appreciated among us. But there has been a very obvious cause for this deterioration. The want of any real and earnest conviction on the subject of Reform has been a canker at the heart of politics, and has enfeebled the whole of political life. For a long while the Liberal party kept Reform in its programme, but dismissed it from its policy. At the election of 1805, which created the present Parliament, there was no particular cry and no particular excitement, but the Liberal candidates were everywhere ob' iged to include among their professions of principle the belief in the fitness of the working classes for a share of political power, and in the expediency of granting the better portion of them such a share at no very distant day. But no person at all acquainted with the middle classes of the large provincial towns could fail to perceive that al very large section of those who constituted the strength of the Liberal party were Reformers rather from necessity than from choice. Feeling pointed one way and expediency the other. By their own principles they were obliged to admit Cie claim of the unenfrarchised classes ; by their social prejudices they were tempted to distrust thole) claims. With them that argument of " swamping " told with immense power ; and though it did not convince them that it would be either wise or just to deny the claims of the working classes, it made them very ready to post pone those claims. Reform must come some day, but the more distant the dry the better for them. The demand for popular enfranchise ment was a just one, and justice ought to be done though the heavens should fall, but they had some doubt of the stability of things, and caught at any argument which put off the hour of trial. It Wag to this state of mind that Lord PALYZUTON ministered, and it was in this state of mind that Mr. GLanrroins found a large section of his party when he announced that the time had come for the settlement of the qrest'on. When the Liberal leader sounded the advance, a large section of his party were therefore unwilling to move. They did not see that the time had come when the sub ject of Reform could be no longer trifled with ; but Mr. DISRAELI did see it, and Mr. GLAD grroNa's difficulty was Mr. Denueu's oppor tunity. The Liberals were demoralized by the perpetual desire to put off the settlement to which their principles committed them. They had so long accustomed themselves to in dulge in the luxury of delay—to push the con sideration of the subject off to the more con venient season which never comes—that it was im possible to convince them that the fit time had at last arrived. But this obtuseness was the result, as it was the punishment, of a cherished habit of delay. Mr. Lows stood alone among Liberals in entirely disbelieving in Reform, yet those o cheered him, and those who openly colowed or secretly accepted his guidance, were not guilty of conscious insincerity. They were theoretical Reforirers, but unbelievers in practical Reform. Opinion could not pass over into action, faith could not become practice with them, be cause they had never thoroughly realised their prirciples in their practical forms. Hence it was that even a small measure that was honest was too great a step, and that a much larger measure to which they have been half driven, half betrayed, bat which they only gradually realised, has proved suocessfuL It is not true that Liberal professions of desire for Reform were dishonest, or that Reform was con sciously used as a mere popular cry ; but it is true that the Liberal party were not in earnest ; that a large section of them were afraid of the results of their own principles ; that their political theories were bolder than their practice, and that a conflict between political principles and social feelings and prejudices held their action in suspense. "The " flighty purpose never is o'ertool unless the deed "go with it." Aristocratic and middle-class Libe ralism had a flighty purpose of popular en franchisement, but their reluctance to transmute it into actual deed produced legislative feebleness and party decay. It is a clear gain to the politica of the future that this question of the franchise is at length oat of the way. It was the only question in which it was possible to represent the carrying out of the Liberal programme as a perscnal sacrifice of power on the part of the middle clam, and therefore the only one on which such hesitancy is likely to be exhibited again. When other subjects rise, the divisions of opinion will be more decidedly marked, and the hiatus between faith and practice will not be likely to occur. The completion of the present measure by a liberal and just redistribui.ion of soli; will probably take an early place among the objects which the Liberal party of the future will propose to iLself, but on that subject there will probably be a sharp division of opinion and a de finite policy suggested on one side and on the other. But it is everything to remember that in the regeneration of the Liberal party the nation will take part. The present Parliament is elected by classes—the new Parliament may in much greater degree represent the nation. The weak ness and decay of present parties has arisen from the internal conflict between their clams feelings and their political principles. But this conflict, so far as the Liberal party is concerned, is now over. It is no longer a question of sharing power I with others, but of the use to be made of power now that it has been shared with them. It is no more a strife between the feeling of exclusive ness and the principle of inclusion, but between the claims of antagonistic poli cies for popular allegiance and power. And if there is one thing in which more than in any other the nation is greeter and wiser than any class, it is its entire freedom from those secondary considerations which always weigh with classes. A parliament which represents any class will of course see all questions in their bearing on the interests of that class—a parliament which represents a nation will see them in their bearing on national interests. But that which has hitherto weakened and vitiated politics is the tendency to look at matters in their class bearing, to judge them by class interests, and to' consider something else besides the interest of national right and justice. It was perfectly natural that the Reform question should be viewed in this way, but now that the most difficult part of it is settled, a wider and juster view will, we hope, prevail. No class can judge national questions aright, while it is anxiously considering how their settlement will affect its own interest. Such a double minded policy is unstable in all its ways. But a wider view will bring, not only a truer judgment, but a firmer conviction and a surer policy. The time of weak governments is probably near its close, but the time for half-measures, for feeble com promises, for professions which there is not the courage to carry into practice, is certainly at an end. An infusion of the popular element will in vigorate the tone of politics as a breath of free air invigorates the jaded system, and it will be the fault of the Liberal party if that invigoration does not speedily restore it to the strength and efficiency of its beet days. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19, THZ WRITING OF THE 1MP2101414 The Timu express its disbelief in the sinister designs attributed to the meeting of the French and Austrian emperors at Salzburg. In • war against Pi nests in conjunction with France the Austrian government could rely neither on its German subjects, to whom the contest would seem fratricidal, nor on the Magyars, who by their success in such a struggle would only re-establish that ascendancy of the German element in Austria which they have lately overthrown. On the antipathy of the Austrians and of other Southern Germans to their northern brethren it is idle for • foreign power to rely. In the Luxemburg affair, in the North Schlos s g differenoe, the Emperor Napoleon may have seen how the bare threat of French interference was sufficient to heal up any German rlizsension. However much Austria may lament her exclusion from Germany, she must be well aware that it is not through France, and still leas with France, that readmis sion is to be obtained. The most natural and most neces sary alliances have been broken up, and anything like • new combination has become impossible. If, their, the Emperor Napoleon has any idea of inducing Austria to join him in a breech of the pesos, the Times believes no less than hopes that his journey will be to vain. The Standard says that, though the great questions now agitating Europe will be diseased, it does not ex pect that the meeting will have any immediate or appa rent result, and it doubts rely much whether any of the events which may occur in Europe dur:og the next few months will be traceable to the conferences at Salzburg. Europe, obein vas the TekgrapA, will to-day see with curiosity, but without alarm, an interchange of courtesies at Salzburg between two powerful emperors who are brought together by • common interest in the tragic fate of a third. It was quite natural that some undefined mis giving should bare been aroused by a public itnnonneement that such an interview was to take place. But, whatever may be the future consequences of this marked repproche wrest between two powers so peculiarly sheeted as France and Austria, there is little around for the prevailing sort of half-belief that the meeting is the precursor of some special alliance, or, indeed, anything more than what it is mid to be, • friendly manifestation of sympathy on the part of the French Emperor with his much-tried and sorely-harassed imperial brother. or 118. ISTLXION. The suspension of a cabinet minister is, says the Daily New, a new thing in politics. But Mr. Johnson has "suspended" Mr. Stanton because he is not empowered to remove him from office without the consent of the Senate. Up to the closes of the last session of the thirty-ninth congress the President of the United States enjoyed this prerogative of removal in common with the crowned beads of Europe. Bat one of the incidenta in the great struggle between the executive and legislative departments of the Federal government has been the passing of an act of con (ream taking away the power of the President to remove any civil officer witboat the consent of the Senate. The law, however, left him power, in certain cases, to rue pond any officer during • recess of the Senate, such 'eversion to be announced to that body within twenty days after its meeting for the next session. But such cases were strictly limited to those in which the officer shall " be shown, by evidence satisfactory to the President, to be guilty of misconduct in office, or crime, or for any reason shall become incapable or legally dis qualified to perform its duties, in which ease, and in no other," the act goes on to say, " the President may sus pend such officer, and designate moms suitable person to perform temporarily the duties of such office." When such suspension has taken place it is required of the Presi dent that he shall report to the Senate not only the fact of the suspension, but "the evidence and reasons of his action in tho case," and in the event of the Senate not agreeing in those reasons, the officer resumes his poet with only the loss of the salary and emoluments which ►ccrued during the period of his suspension. Mr. Stanton was the repreeentative of congress in the cabinet, and it is not likely, in the opinion of the Daily New., that the Senate will eousimi to his removal. The Telegraph has little doubt that Mr. Stanton has carped certain functions of the executive, with the avowed object of siding the purposes of the republicans. It is understood that he has repeatedly, cet his own re. spon•P ility, Wood orders to the military commanders in the South without even eon/citing the President, and has also intercepted or withheld the instructions of Ma thief when they did not happen to harmonise with the designs of h party. The mumouncemeet that the Preeideat will appoint General Grant in place of Mir. Stanton requires caution. If, however, it should prove that the distill guiahed soldier has really been perseadml to take the vacant seat in the cabinet, Mr. Johns= may be 'engraft lated on almost the first success that be has achieved since he has attained the presidential chair. /DS TOPICS. Remarking on the little that has been done by the ex isting Legislature in the way of commercial legislation, the Times asks what is the promise that the parliament of the future will be able to settle questions which are apparently too difficult for the rarliament of to-day ? Why is it that the existing Legislature has failed to solve these problems of ordinary experience? The Times believes on examina tion it would be found that the true reason has been a dis trust of commercial freedom. Parliament has been afraid to allow associations to be formed for the purpose of constructing certain public works except under very stringent regulations. The immense confusion of the affairs of the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail way Company would have been impossible, had not parliament been so careful to regulate them. The dead- lock of limited liability companies has been acknowledged by the act passed this session to hare sprung from the arbitrary limitations parliament imposed on their manage ment. The whole course of bankruptcy reform has been an attempt to withdraw the administration of a bankrupt's assets from the enforced oontrol of bank ruptcy officials, and to remit it to the freedom of private commercial liquidation. In each ow we find a conflict between the policy of over-regulation and the policy of freedom. Which is likely to be favoured in the future ? This isaqueation to be considered by the reformers of °ow menial law, and which the now wall not attempt at present to answer. The Star points out the ballot, the land question, and the condition of Ireland as subjects for immediate legisla tion under a reformed parliament, sad under these cir cumstances it is not surprising that men like Mr. Bright and Mr. Mill are anxious that the refoim army shall not be disbanded. The Post approves of the decision of Mr. Knox in sending for trial the president, vies-president, ke., of the Operative Tailors' Association on the charge of conspiring to im poverish in their trade a number of master tailors, although in the opinion of the Post that foam of charge is hardly commensurate with, and does not adequately express, the real nature and extent of the ell of the picketing intivenee, Si show .t end proved by the evidence. the Court.

This moriihsi the ()slates left for the Cape of Good Hope. THE BISHOP OF CHESTER O! RITUALISM. A memorial to the Bishop of Chester against Ritualism has been signed by over 9,0001 a members of the church of England in Userpool and district In reply to the memorial the bishop writes thus " Atheneum Club, Pall-mall, 8.W., August 9. " My dear sir,—As I understand that your name stands first among the signature' I will beg your permission to address to you my acknowledgment of a memorial from lay members of the Church of Ragland in the town of Liverpool and its neighbourhood. " I sympathise with ' the deep concern with which' the memorialist' ' view the introduction into many of the churches of the land of an elaborate ritualism, Romish vestments, altar lights, and incense, in avowed connexion' with doctrines which cannot be well distinguished from Transubstantion and the sacrifice of the Masa' " My own feeling is again: the use of lighted candles in the daytime. Bat, as I had occasion to remark in replying to a previous memorial, conflicting opinions as to their legality have been given by eminent lawyers ; and we must ' await a declaration of the law from the Reciesiastioal Court, into which this question has been carried. " With regard to another head of your complaint, I have received assurance from the clergy to whom, doubtless, the memorialists refer, that these practices were abandoned in compliance with the expression of my diaapprovaL " I am as desirous as any of the memorialists can be to maintain the doctrine of our Reformed Church, as set forth in the 28th and 31st Articles, and the prescribed form of worship, as plainly lad down in the Prayer-book. " But this prescribed form of worship must be main tained in its integrity if it is to be maintained in its purity. If one school of thought in our church could be induced to give up its extravagances, and the other would be more hearty and exact in oomplianos with the directions of the Rubric, all might alike offer the prayer that we might hold the faith in unity of spirit and in the bond of peace, with a clearer conscience and a better hope of acceptance. —I beg leave to remain, my dear sir, very faithfully yours, " WUJIAN 011Z8171. " T. Darnley Anderson, Beg." DEATH OP LIEUTENANT-GENERAL Hon, R.A.— We have to announce the death of Lieutenant-Genersl Hope, of the Royal Artillery, who was seised with an attack of 'snip's on Friday morning, and expired at his lodgings in Xing-street, St. Jones's, yestm-day morning shortly after 9 o'clock. The gallant akar had for more than 20 years been a constant kabittil at the United Service Club. His career in the service was not distinguished by any remarkable opportunity to show kis ability, but he was an acute aced valua b le officer in his parilorlaz branch of the army. DEATH OF CAPTAIN CRESSWELL, RN.—The death is announced of this gallant officer, who attainzd some celebrity in 1953 in connexion with Arctic exploration. On his return to his native town (Lynn, Norfolk), Captain (then Lieutenant) Creisiwell was entertained at a public dinner, at which the late Admiral Sir E. Pan, emphati cally declared that he was the first person who had tra versed the long-attempted North-West Passage. Captain Cresswea subsequently gaged for China, where his health failed from the extreme change of climate, and he has now paswd away at the etully age of 39. THE NATIONAL MONUMENT TO LORD CLYDE.— A favourable site for the national monument to Lord Clyde has at last, after many delays and disappointments, been fixed upon, and the monument itself is in a fair wa y to oompletion, more than half of it being already erectnL The site is in Carlton-gardens, opposite the monument re. oently erected to Sir John Franklin, the Arctic navigator. The design includes a full length figure of the late general, and a lame figure of a lion, both in bronze, the work of Baron Maroebetti. These portion of the monument have it is understood, long been finished and only await the completion of the pedestal to be ho isted to their proper positions. It is anticipated that the monument wal be finished in the course of a few weeks, _ LORD HOBART ON MARITIME CAPTOR/L.—The Times publishes a letter of Lord Hobart's, written from Geneva, in reply to the recent remarks of Mr. J. S. Mill, relating to maritime capture. In concluding his lordship says :—" England may be said to possess • threefold supe riority—in naval armaments, In commerce, and in ma'am tile marine. How, then, wonld the airengement made bbyy the Declaration of Paris affect her—f ret as • neutral, secondly as • belligerent? As a neutral her mercantile matins, being the beet and the largest, would gain the most by the transfer, consequent on the Declaration, of the carrying trade during war, and her trade, being the greatest, would be the most interested in a change made In favour of nommen* in genera As a belligerent, she would be the greatest lament respect of the carrying trade, the greatest gamer on the score of com mercial advantage ; and as s belligerent forces at sea, dtrectlythe greatest loser, butindirectlythe great es t ga i ner , ' since she would receive the largest share of the advantage which every State must derive in emergency from the re moval of restrictions upon commerceandnmigation. In the event, which Mr. Mill contemplates, of the change made by the Declaration receiving its full development in the com plete immunity of private propel ty by land and sea, the balance would not be materially altered. If, then, there is anyone who thinks that England will, on the whole, be a loser--or rather, that she will not be • gainer by the change—it must be some one who supposes that in all future history if any two or more nations fight, England iv pretty sure to be one of them. For my own part I have better hopes of my own country. It is evident that in this ease self-interest is coincident with right, and there is, therefore, the more reason to hope that the important step in advance which, under the Declaration of Paris, was made by civilisation will prove, in spite of the powed u l exertions of Mr. Mill, impossible to retrace."

The financial measures proposed by the govern ment passed the second reading in the Chamber of Deputies on the 22nd, and will probably pass the third reading by the end of the month, so that the discussion in the Senate will commence at the be ginning of August. In the Chamber of Deputies the Cabinet have a large majority, but in the Senate they are at the mercy of their political adversaries, the conserva tives and the radicals. Dates from Paraguay reach to the Bth inst. Both the army and the fleet were ready for battle, and were awaiting only the word of the Com mander-in-Chief, which was momentarily expected, when very heavy rains set in and compelled the Marquis of Caxiaa to adjourn active operations for a few days, as the ground became so much soaked as to render the march of an army a very difficult affair.

Richard A. Proctor, F.R.A.S., writes thus to a contemporary on this subject:—" As respects the prospect of our having a good view of the shooting eters this year in England, we must remember that, neglecting a small change of position in the band itself, and &reaming that the part we shall cross this year is similarly constituted to the pert we crossed last year (now hun dreds of millions of miles away), yet—a year consisting of about 365} days, while only 365 days separate November 14, 18b7, from November 14, 1566—it will be some Ave or six hours later in the day when the earth next plunges into the stream than it was when the earth hat commenced the pismire. This would tend to throw the region over which the display should be well seen considerably towards the west. I believe, however, that there will be a display this year in England, which will attain its maximum shortly before sunrise on the morning of November 14. Those who wish to assist in the determination of the radiant point should familiarise themselves beforehand with the constellations which wi'l be above the horizon on that morning. At half-past two, as half-pest four, and at half Test six, the constellations visible will be those presented in maps 1,2, and 3, respect ively of my ' Constellation Seasons.' The moon being nearly full on the morning of the 14th, the meteors will Probably not present so brilliant an appearsnee as they did Lit year." LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

The Recorder, in (harem the grand jury, which he did very briefly, adverted to the large number of pei lem , there were for trial, which, he said, was greater thin ever remembered, but he at the same time said that thee were only • few mem that would require any obserralicee from him respecting them. There were only two came ie. volving the destruction of human life, both of which wee charges of manslaughter. The fast was • charge naiad a man named Richard Tow, of having caused th e death of • woman with whom he cohabited, sad the awe was monewbst peculiar, because mood = to the medical evidence the death of the deoeuel arose from fever. There wee evidence, however, that the primmer had been guilty of violence towards the deceased, and the princ ipal question for then to consider would be whether thh violence caused, or in say way accelerated, the death of the deceased ; and if this fact wee not made out to their satisfaction, there wee, at course, an end of the matter. In the second cue of mm. slaughter the prisoner wee charged with causing the drib of her child by suffocation, it being alleged on the part of the prosecution that she had laid - upon the child by cm lemma while drunk. The ease, however, appeared to de. pond • good deal upon statements made by the hadmad of the Flamer, but it was his duty to tell then that a husband could not legally give evidence against lea wife, and if the ace was not made out by other tedthseel they would not he justified in finding a bill spinet the prisoner. The learned Recorder then proceeded to doh very brief to one or two other mums in the calendar, sad concluded by dismissing the grand jury to the perfoemsass of their duties.

Mrs. Rawlings stated that her husband, who has fa some years been subject to illness contracted in India, and who suffer. dreadfully _from any noise or excitement, was at present laid up in bed, and . quite incapable of rising fat the purpose of attending to g ive evidence. The consist =of organ-grinders, encouraged by inconsiderate sous neighbour; wee a source of much &sires and positive injury to him. The present case vas was rather worse than ordinary, for the prisons had an organ and • big drum set up on a wooden framework upon wheel; While he played the organ the boy heat the drum, and a wooden figure was made to dance to the music. This no doubt was highly entertaining to the children of the vicinity, who crowded round the vehicle and added their shout. of laughter to a din that wail already, to an invalid, its,. lately fearfuL One of the servants was sent °Pt to cede him away.

Sir Thomas Henry said he showed that he did madrigal by the very fact that he partly complied by changing hi position. The prisoner then said he thought i/ be did move a when desired, that was all he was bound to do. Sir Thome. Henry said that to move just one door for the house directly oppoidte was not millicient to make mark difference in the annoyance or injury to a nick man. He should remand the cons for the production of the pompon. Subsequently it was produced, and allowed that thi i g to= • was not, as he slleged, • Lyonnais, but r fi Henry had supposed , Savoyard. It had bps vind in • number of towns in almost every part of Frier and showed that he had only been allowed to stop COS dry in each. He had, however, been two years in England.
