For the officious interpel lation of Mr. MILBANK, however, we cannot but hold the Lord Chancellor HATHERLEY to be, in a manner, directly responsible. THE French EMPEROR has not followed up his programme of .reform by a decisive change of Ministry. In most countries it is a rule that a new Government is needed to inaugurate a new policy ; but in France, where all things proceed from and are done by the EMPEROR, this maxim is not held in much respect. All the members of the Imperial Government, it is true, did resign immediately after the reading of the EMPEROR'S Message a week ago. The resignation of M. ROUHER was accepted, the Ministry of State, the office which he held, was sup pressed, and it was generally understood that he would not, at present at least, return to power. So far this was a wise continuation of the new Liberal policy. M. ROUHER is dear to the EMPEROR, for whilst he is the ablest adminis trator in France, he is also the humblest and the most servile supporter of his master's absolute will. But to the French people M. ROUHER is the most obnoxious of Imperial functionaries. He is the scapegoat upon whom the whole blame of Imperial misdeeds is cast, and his retirement to the Presidency of the Senate—a dignified and lucrative post, where he will cease from troubling and be at rest—is hailed with unmistakable satisfaction. This suppression of M. ROUHER and his office at the same time is undoubtedly a great concession to the French people. However unpopular the retiring Minister might be, he was undoubtedly the most faithful of the EMPEROR'S servants, and in parting with him the Sovereign has made a great personal sacrifice. But it is to be regretted that no other Ministerial change of any moment has been made. The politi cians who hold the portfolios of War, Marine, the Interior, Finance, and Public Works, retain them. Prince DE LA TOUR D'AUVERGNE, the Ambassador at London, becomes Foreign Minister ; M. DUVERGIER, an able lawyer, takes the portfolio of Justice; M. LE Roux,one of the Vice-Presidents of the Chamber, is nominated to the Department of Agriculture ; M. BOURBEAU, a jurist of some repute, will preside over Public Instruction ; and M. de CHASSELOUP-LAUBAT, an old politician, who, like our own Sir JOHN PARINGTON, has been almost everything, now takes the Presidency of the State Council. The new corners may be classed under the general title of respectable mediocrity. No doubt they will bear comparison with the politicians who preceded them; but they are certainly not the men to get a great constitutional change in working order. They are all Imperialists. Not one of the new party—the Moderate Liberals—who got up the demand for constitutional liberty, which called forth the E3IPEROR'S Message, is in the Cabinet. Only one of the new Ministers signed the famous interpel lation, and he does not identify himself with the Moderate party. Such a Ministry is not calculated to secure the confidence of the country. The EMPEROR, indeed, is absolute, and can carry out what policy he pleases ; but the people will be slow to believe in a policy of reform when no reformer is , called to office, and when the Cabinet remains com posed of precisely the men who supported the old despotic system. The new Ministry, then, has not given satisfaction in France. The EMPEROR is charged, not without reason, with want of resolution to complete what he has begun. He has drawn up a programme of reform, and sent away his unpopular subordinate ; but he has not finished the work by the choice of Liberal Ministers. It is true that there is this excuse ; the Moderates were asked to take office, and refused. They did not, however, refuse because they were unwilling to sup port the E3IPEROP., but because he would not consent to a programme which they could consistently carry out. The Mo derates, therefore, remain in Opposition instead of helping the EMPEROR in office. By this hesitation the effect of his concessions is not only neutralised in part, but a very powerful party which might have been conciliated remains in great measure hostile to Imperial rule. Still, it is unjust to refuse a fair tribute of recognition to the value of the changes already made. If the French Parlia ment has not got all that was fairly its due, the means of getting more have been greatly simplified. The reforms announced in the EMPEROR'S Message are of very material worth. They do not give the Chamber much more power of acting, but they allow greater liberty of talking, which is precisely what was most wanted. It was because liberty of writing and speech were utterly extinguished in the early days of the Empire that the cause of freedom made no progress. It is because that liberty has been partially conceded by degrees that the great resurrection of Liberalism has taken place this year. And now that the debating power of the French Parliament becomes almost entirely free, it is only reasonable to conclude that the results will be in proportion. CDT' Tt Crab° HER MAJESTY.

The decision understood to have been arrived at yesterday by the Ministers of the Crown is certainly remarkable. It remains to be seen--when it shall this evening have been announced to the Lords by the Earl GRANVILLE, as leader of the Go vernment in that Assembly—how it will be re garded, and how it can possibly be acted upon, by the Conservative-Whig Opposition. Supposing the debate to be actually renewed in spite of a distinct proviso that the Bill be regarded as lost unless the Peers reconsider, and, in point of fact, reverse their decision of Tuesday nigh:, in that matter of the preamble—theleast probable incident that could well be calculated upon by the Administration—the time consumed by this renewal of the debate will only be so much more time wasted. In the temper the House of Lords is now in, it is simply ridiculous to count upon their reversing their opinion in regard to the contumelious treatment of their amendments by the House of Commons under the direct instigation of the powerful Minister at the Head of the Govern ment. It is frivolous, moreover, for the Lord Chan. cellor to resent with such burning words of indig nation the jocularity indulged in by the Marquis of SALISBURY when dealing with the matter under dis cussion. The joke was simply going the round—having been started, in fact, by the sarcastically humourous allusion by the Prime Minister himself to the House of Lords as Up in a Balloon. If Ministers are so exquisitely sensitive of ridicule, if, in common par lance, they are so exceedingly thin-skinned, as Lord HATHERLEY'S outbreak of temper would appear to im ply, it seems a pity that they, themselves, shou'd not have remembered,bethues, the good old axiom, which recommends all those living in glass houses not to I fling stones. Again, it appears to us rather ludicrous to note the flame of passion with which the hon. gen tleman the member for the North Riding of York shire, resents what he has the absurdity to call a certain noble lord's (m aning Lord SALISBURY'S) " insult" to the House of Commons and " insolence " to Mr. GLADSTONE. Insult to the House of Commons forsooth ! We should uncommonly like to know which, if either of the two Houses, has, all through this session, in season and out of season, within and without the walls of the Palace of the Legisla turc,'.been insulted flagrantly, pointedly, wantonly, wildly in one sense and intermittently, but in another persistently and systematically ! Ask any thousand men taken haphazard out of any dense mass of our three million observant Londoners, and we question very much whether one solitary in dividual amongst them could be found to say it was the House of Commons, and whether more than nine hundred and ninety-nine would nob instantly proclaim at once, on the con trary, that it was the House of Lords. Then, again, as to what Mr. MILBANK monstrously calls Lord SALISBURY'S ".insolence" to Mr. GLADSTONE. Why, the epithet is simply outrageous. What the Marquis said, instead of partaking in any way of the character of insolence, amounted, far rather, to a very extrava gant declaration of the Prime Minister's personal importance. To adopt the extraordinarily em phasised diction of the Duke of ARGYLL, we would [say—Why, we heard it. with our own ears ! [With nobody else's.] Lord SALISBURY'S remark —his insolent remark, according to the member for the North Riding of Yorkshire—being simply to the effect that the rejection, as one might say in the lump, of the Lords' Amendments was the act not of the nation, not of the House of Commons, but was the expression or result of the arrogant will of one single man ! At the utterance of which words the Peers roared their applause like any mob—thereby partici pating in the responsibility of the expression, or in other terms, adopting that expression as their own by the very plaudits accorded to those words, as they fell from the lips of the Marquis of SALISBURY. But reverting to the words themselves—" the arrogant will of one single man"—wherein can possibly be de tected anything whatever like insolence ? Is it in the word arrogant ? Then--(which would be absurd, as absurd even as Mr. MILBANK'S ridiculous; imputa tion)—ought that hitherto tolerably familiar adjective to be expunged forthwith from the English diction ary. Repeating, again, the Duke of ARGYLL'S odd phrase—we would say, with his Grace's ludicrous ex aggeration of emphasis, that Lord SALISBURY'S words, his no doubt caustic but certainly not "insolent" words, we heard with own ears, on Tuesday night, at the moment of their utterance ! A glance of the eye recognizing, the instant afterwards, on the steps of the Throne, Mr. GLADSTONE himself, and in the Peeress's Gallery, the wife of the Prime Minis ter ! Lord SALISBURY'S words, so far from being insolent were calculated to be rather as incense in the nostrils of any great Leader of Party—for inas much as they must have realized to him a very lofty notion, indeed, of his own individual importance. The arrogant will of one single ma❑ ! Why, they are words that might apply to an Arbitrer of the destinies of the Human Race, such, let us say, as even NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. And words, too, that if so applied to NAPOLEON the GREAT would certainly not have been deemed by him to be ex pressive, in his regard, of anything like insolence. The member for the North Riding of Yorkshire had, henceforth, far better look to his own familiarity with at least a portion of the alphabet tha❑ criticise another man's vocabulary—he had better mind hie MARKET S-7 HIS DAY.

FORTY LIVES LOST. WIGAN, Wednesday Night. A dreadful explosion occurred this morning at the Haydock colliery, situated about eight miles from Wigan. At the usual hour for com mencing work about one hundred men went down. All had proceeded as usual till about eleven o'clock, when a loud report was heard in the neighbourhood, and it was shortly after wards discovered that the pit had fired. An ex ploring party was at once formed, and on descending they found that great damage had been done. They were al.le to rescue sixty-three of the workmen alive, one of whom subsequently died from the after-damp ; but nearly forty bodies remained in the pit and workings when this tele gram was despatched. The cause of the explosion has not yet been ascertained. An accident of a similar character occurred at this colliery in January last, when thirty lives were lost, and in consequence of that calamity the operations have since been limited. MODERN DENTISTRY.—Amongst the many pre servatives of health none certainly demand more attention than those appli e d t o t h e teeth, but in this age o f quac k ery it is difficult to secure either proper treatment or remedies. In regard to this Mr. Eskell, surgeon-dentist, Grosvenor street, has published a treatise on Pure Dentistry, and none can peruse the pages of the little work without de riving advantage and information, and that, too, of the most practical character. Mr. Eskell is also the discoverer of a mode of painless tooth extraction, by which the most nervous can undergo the operation without experiencing that excruciating shock which has been truly said is worse than the disuse it eventually remedies. STEAM ENGINES.—The value of the exports of team engines made from the United Kingdom has some what revived this year, having amounted to May 31 to £645,771, as compared with £569,953 in the correspond ing period of 1868, and £778,083 in the corresponding period of 1867. The value of the steam engines —pro bably for the most part locomotives—sent to Russia has largely increased this year; on the other hand ; there has been a rather material decrease in the case of British India.

On Tuesday afternoon Archdeacon Denison delivered an address in Liverpool on the Open Church movement. Mr. Duckworth, who presided over the meeting, remarked on the great success which had attended the Free and Open Church movement in that diocese. In nearly every church the monthly offertory was:universal, in two hundred churches the offertory was weekly, and more than one hundred churches were entirely free and unappropriated. Within the last six months fifteen free churches had been added to the list. The ARCHDEACON, in opening his address, said that it was nearly thirty-seven years since he had last set foot in that great town, and during that interval there had been great changes in the position and prospects of the Church of England. For a long series of years he had been fighting the battle of Church and State, and he had lived to see that position slowly but steadily waning. He bad tried with others to put on the brake, but it was impossible to check an engine when it was going down au incline plane of civil and religious liberty, and was near the terminus. When a country believed that men of all religions, or of no religion, had an equal right to be members of the Legislature,' it was simply a question of time as to what would become of the National Church in connection with the State. They could not shut their eyes to these things, but there was a great difference between helping to pull down a national Church and acquiescing when that pulling down came as a visitation. He was not discouraged. It would, at the worst, simply throw them back from a temporary rest or ful crum upon that which was an eternal fulcrum—the divine strength of the Church herself. During the last seven and thirty years he had seen the inner or spiritual life of the Church grow and increase. He had seen the whole movement, from the time when the "Tracts for the Times" came out of the Oxford College, of which he was a fellow, to that which might now be said to be its culmi nation ; and the increase of the inner life of the Church had gone on side by side with the decline of her outer life. Disestablishment might not occur in his lifetime, for the Church was so deeply imbedded in this country that it would be difficult to pull it up by the roots ; but those who thought disestablishment was going on only in Ireland made a great mistake. It would be madness in any number of men to propose the disestablishment of the Church of England now ; but year by year they were cutting off the branches. There had been no enthusiasm among the people for the Church. There were many reasons for this, but ono was directly connected with the object that brought them there—the affirming of the right of property in Churches Nothing had done more to discredit the Church with the people. He threw himself heart and hand into the cause of freedom of public worship ; at whatever cost, they must vindicate the perfect freedom of God's House in this land. Until they achieved that they could have little real interest; until they had reality they could not have enthusiasm, and without enthusiasm they would have no consistent, steady support of the Church. He had no idea of keeping up the distinctions of social life in the Church, where all alike went to worship and pray. The Archdeacon then referred to the great change in the maintenance of churches and church. yards in England, which ho hail resisted, as he resisted most changes, though he was al ways beaten. As there was no compulsory power of levying the assessment it was nonsense to call it a rate, if he might apply that term to the work of the House of Commons. A yeorian in his own parish said lie wished a new Cromwell w , ,uld deal with this Parliament as Crom• well did with his, but for his own part he would begin with the House of Lords and the bishops. The sooner the bishops were out of the House of Lords the better. In conclusion, the Archdeacon declared lie had no fear of the issue, as the eternal sup port of the Church itself would never fail them. In answer to the Rev. Mr. Lefroy, who asked who would undertake certain responsibilities on an uncertain method of meeting them, the Archdeacon said if he had to begin life again, rather than not throw himself on the free-will offerings of his people, he would prefer not to be a minister at all. OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. - - _- - - .4,;> The Times says that, after various vicissitudes, the bill to amend the law with respect to the property of married women was on Wednesday passed by the House of Com mons. It is very questionable whether the hardships inflicted by unprincipled husbands upon their wives, or the _ruin brought by ill-conditioned wives upon their husbands, occasions the greatest trouble among the poor. We are much inclined to think that the husband's responsibility acts at present as a very effectual check upon him, and that more homes are made unhappy by careless wives than by inconsiderate husbands. After all, a woman has a great chance before her when she marries ; and in most cases her own future and that of her family is in her hands. We need only appeal to the testimony of those who have done most for the poor. If there is one point which philanthropic women have most strenuously urged upon the poor among whom they have laboured, it is to keep " a clean hearth and a clear fire" for their husbands. Where a man's home is confined within so small a space everything depends upon the discharge of these domestic offices, and we are sorry to see any tendency to depreciate the responsi bility of women in this respect. We repeat that the natural as well as legal responsibilities of life urge men by a great compulsion to perform their part in this contract, and if the women fully performed their part, they would enjoy more power and independence than either this or any other bill could give them. Where it is shewn, as it undoubtedly was in this case, that the existing law occa sions material hardship, it only remains to be considered whether it is possible to provide a remedy without introducing still greater evils. It is seldom that this is not practicable, and the present case was, by general admission, one which fully admitted of a remedy. But if women claim equal rights they must accept equal duties, and the great question for them to consider in the present agitation is whether they are prepared for this mutuality. They can not have at the same moment all the advantages of inde pendence and all the privileges of protection. There is probably a just mean between the two. As a step towards attaining it we gladly accept this bill, but for the same reason we should be sorry to see it go too far, and we are disposed to think there is still matter for mature conside ration in some of its clauses. The Standard fears that it must be assumed that the Government have resolved to bring matters to an issue, and to quarrel with the House of Lords upon the first amendment to which their lordships have chosen to adhere. Lord Russell is a keen partisan, and does not willingly sever himself from his party. He was a staunch advocate of reli7ious equality when Mr. Gladstone was pleading for the exclusive privileges of the State Church. He has understood and preached for half a century the doctrine to which his successor is a late and bungling con vert. Yet Lord Russell condemned the words in the pre amble on which the House of Commons, at the bidding of Mr. Gladstone, insisted. This one fact might suffice to show how clearly and completely the Government had put itself in thewrong. Religious equality and civil liberty can hardly be concerned in a declaration which Lord Russell disapproves. And the conclusion is irresistible that the obstinacy of the Ministry was due not to prig' ciple but to temper ; that they risked the loss of a session, an autumn of angry agitation, and the failure of their bill, not for anything necessary to the efficacy of their policy. but for the sake of carrying by force what they might have won by conciliation ; of trampling on the indepen dence of a co-ordinate branch of the Legislature ; of gratifying the malice of Mr. Bright and the arrogance of Mr. Gladstone, by a triumph over the resistance of the House of Lords—a triumph which is yet distant, and which we earnestly trust may never come to pass. The Post refers to Lord Salisbury's attack on Mr. G13( 1 " stone, and says that he who was the very foremost debater in the earlier stages of the bill, and was listened to with a silence that was quite breathless in its respects fulness, so far forgot the high and philosophical line which he had previously followed as to fly off into bitter and passionate personal allusions to the First Minister, and made mere invective, that might have suited well enough an inferior man, do duty for the careful reasoning and lofty sentiments which the House was entitled to hear from one who is rapidly rising to a leading position. 11r e can hardly believe that he needs to be told how damaging to himself and to the cause be advocates are such mani fest signs of weakness and concomitant rashness. Th e power of invective is a dangerous one at any time, but when it is used recklessly, with a strong dash of personal pique, it is positively offensive. "The world's large tongue Proclaims you for a man replete with mocks ; Full of comparisons and wounding flouts ; Which you on all estates will execute, That lie within the mercy of your wit." Let Lord Salisbury leave Mr. Gladstone's will out of the calculation, and apply his powerful mind to the discovery of some tertian?, quid to which both parties can agree, s ° as to get the bill out of hand, and he will win more l a urels than by the smartest personal sarcasms, or the fiercest imputations of arrogancy. The Herald thinks that a simple, but efficacious, NOY of checking the systematic murders of the Irish landlords is within the power of the Government, but they dogged l y and pertinaciously refuse to have recourse to it. Th e y have only to state their views and intentions touching the alterations which they contemplate in the laws regulating the tenure of land, and there would be at once a cessation of the crimes arising from that source. In common wit h almost all their political opponents, we believe them t° be sound" on this much-debated question. We do not imagine for a moment that they intend to make those radical and revolutionary changes attributed to them , although such may be entertained, and, indeed, have be en openly propounded, by one of their body. But, if so, why do they not speak out? They must feel the awful responsibility they incur by not at once enlighten ing the Irish peasantry as to their real intentions ; for they must be aware that by doing so theY would put an end to the delusions under which they: are labouring, and convince them that the just rights of property cannot be overthrown by murdering its owners; and that while disposed to give full protection to the tenant, and either secure him in the enjoyment of lu s improvements, or obtain him ample remuneration for them, they will resist all attempts at sPoli i ". tion, no matter under what form it may be disguised. Had they done so when pressed upon the point 1 0 4 session there can be no doubt that many, if not the landlords who have since been murdered would have been spared to their families and friends. If theY desire to stop the course of crime in Ireland they Il s e have recourse to the only means by which it call effected. Public indignation will sooner or later compel them to take the step which, from party motives , th e y hesitate to adopt, and they may rest assured tha t the sooner they break silence on this important topic the be tter. it will be for the peace of Ireland as well as for their oVirk reputations. The Daily ArC2V3 makes some remarks on Mr. Fai • r .D ! new steam-carriage, and says that it seems destined to. play an important part in the future. The first which would strike anybody who went to see it was tins that here was a railway carriage capable of earrYll3 sixty-six passengers (the average freight of railway tr si en being thirty-five), and careering at the rate of eigh te l miles an hour round a small garden little more than an acre in extent.
