No extraordi nary success has waited upon this new idea in France, and the same may be most unquestionably said of it in England. The House listens with much patience to members of Opposition speaking on sub jects connected with public affairs upon which they possess very scanty information; it knows that they have not access to official documents and - secrets; it recognises the utility of the functions they perform, and it treats them with indulgence ac ' cordingly. But from a Minister of State speaking', on behalf of the Government the House of Com mons expects to get its information at first hand; it hears with impatience men who appear to speak frotn a brief furnished to them by an office with which they have no connexion, and seems to regard them rather in the light of professional advocates than of authoritative exponents of Ministerial policy. From this instinct of the House it probably arises that, with the exception of the law officers speaking on purely legal points, no Minister not in . the Cabinet has ever made a reputation by making speeches in defence of the Government beyond the sphere of his own Department. The feeling always is that the Department should be defended by its own representative, and that if any further defence be needed the Government should find it in the goodwill and ability of its non-official supporters.. Perhaps from these and similar causes—perha7Ps from the non-oratorie4l tendencies of the men who have held the office—ieZertainly does so happen that the Chancellors of -the Duchy of Lancaster have for many years taken very little share in the debates House of Commons, and that the purpos office was retained said to be ret y no means fullyMswered. The duties o e office,.such as they are, consist in the management! upon certain very well understood principles, which_leave very small discretion to the holder, of a certairr porPten of the domains of the Crown, rultPtnight, without any conceivable injury to the public service, be transferred to the Office of Woods and Forests, to which they seem properly to belong. We do not here enter into the question whether it is desirable that the Crown lands, the income from which during the life of the present Sovereign is the property of the nation, should be administered by a person directly responsible to Parliament, or by a permanent official. One thing is quite certain, that both plans cannot be right, and that we should either extend the jurisdiction of the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster to all the lands of the Crown, or put an end to the anomaly of managing one part upon one system and another part upon another by placing the whole of them in the hands of the same office. It seems from these considerations that the Chancellorship of the Duchy of Lancaster is just one of those offices which exist simply because they have existed, and because plau sible reasons were advanced for their maintenance, which experience has failed to justify. The attention drawn to this office may be of good service if it shall put an end to a sinecure from which, tracing its history from the year 1848, when it was last called in question; the public seems to have received very little advan tage in return for an expenditure of some thirty-five thousand pounds. It does not follow, however, that if the office should be abolished the Government should lose a place in the House of Commons. It would be very easy to find departments which might be created, the head of which would be much more profitably employed than in the sinecure of the Duchy of Lancaster. Some of the great Departments of State—the Treasury, the Home-office, and the Foreign-office, for instance—complain of • being overworked ; the duties discharged by the Secretary of the Treasury, who has gradually engrossed to himself almost all the powers of the Board, are larger than his official position iu the House of Commons warrants. It might not be thought too much, considering the great importance of the sub ject, should a Cabinet Minister answer for the Foreign-office in each House of Parliament. Or, if such an innovation be thought too bold, there are many new Departments which might be suggested. The Ecclesiastical Commission would probably have given much less dissatisfaction, and been exposed to much less obloquy, if its defence had not always been allowed to go by default in the House of Com mons, and if the Government of the day had felt itself responsible for its proceedings. The affairs of the metropolis and its environs might well furnish occupation for a Minister of State, and it is pro bable that its inhabitants would view with much satisfaction any measure that should rescue them from the present anarchy of boards and vestries, and place them under the guidance and direction of a single able and efficient Minister. It would not be difficult to enumerate other cases, but we have said enough to show that the money now wasted on a sinecure might easily be employed in a manner highly beneficial to the public. One of the most valuable political discoveries of the present day, far surpassing anything which the gentlemen of the Social Science Congress even profess to have effected, is, that affairs bungled and mismanaged by a board may be placed with the very best results to the pub lic service in the hands of a single responsible Minister. We do not press for the abolition of the office of Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, we only suggest that to the position and the salary some kind of duty useful to the public should be added, and if none such can be found we are pre pared to acquiesce in the saving of the salary to the public. Our taxation sits easier on us than it did, but we are not yet rich enough to maintain offices which add nothing to the dignity of the Crown and confer no ad% antage on the subject. POST.—In. America, as in England, the unofficial speeches of Cabinet Ministers not unfrequently furnish correct indications of a future Ministerial policy, and what have been termed the extra-parlia mentary utterances of those in power are listened to with equal attention on both sides of the Atlantic. Parliament is in no country in constant session, and the occasions on which a Minister is called on to respond to a toast at a dinner-table, or reply to a complimentary speech in a town-hall, are perhaps as good as could possibly be selected for affording to an inquisitive public some inkling of the manner in which a Ministry either are conducting, or pro pose to conduct, the affairs of the nation. Now, it so happens that Congress is not at present sitting in the United States, but there are nevertheless a variety of questions, both - of foreign and domestic policy, on which the American public are desirous of being enlightened, and &Tr. Seward, the Secretary , for Foreign Affairs, has availed himself of an oppor tunity which recently presented itself of affording some little insight into the possible action of the Cabinet in that department of the State over which he presides. The American Government have of late had so much to do at home, that, however, de sirous they might have been of intermeddling in foreign matters, the possibility of doing so was vir tually denied to them. Now, however, that they have succeeded in bringing to a termination a se rious family quarrel, even though they have not as yet swept away the traces of the recent struggle, they seem to have found the much-desired leisure for reviewing the state of their foreign relations. Some little differences between the United States and Great Britain, arising out of the late war, still remain unsettled, and an intervention by a foreign State in the affairs of a Republic which, though not part of the Union, still took its root, if it did not flourish, on Americani soil, has until now been completely disregarded. Both these matters must be looked to, and Mr. Seward in a speech, evidently intended for publication in Europe as well as in America, has given—in that rather obscure language in which statesmen delight when indicating a policy which is subject to modi fication by future events—some significant hints which it would be impossible to disregard. In re spect to the attitude which will be assumed by Mr. Johnson's Cabinet in regard to the claims made upon the English Government on account of the depredations committed by Confederate cruisers, the language of the American Secretary may be re garded as reassuring. A declaration that the Pre sident will conduct the settlement of those claims without compromising the national dignity and honour certainly seems not only to exclude the idea of having recourse to the ratio ultima regum in case the satisfaction of the demands made by the Ame rican Government is refused, but appears to con template the possibility of a course of action on the part of Mr. Johnson, which by some might be in terpreted as amounting to a concession. Mr. Seward and the other advisers of the President have, long since had before them the voluminous correspon dence which was published about a fortnight since in the London Gazette, and haveprobably come to the conclusion that th e complaintsaddressed to the British Government were groundless, and the claims with which they were accompanied untenable. It is now placed beyond a doubt that it was the Ameri can Government which first created their opponents belligerents, not only by proclaiming a blockade of the Southern, ports, but by proceeding to enforce such blockade before the English Government had ac corded to the Confederates a belligerent status. It also appears that Mr. Seward himself was the first Minister who, in an official despatch, made use of the word " neutrals," a term which can have no application except during the existence of a war. The demand for compematiou crests on grounds by PRICE.... ..4d., S TAMPED ...... 5d.: no means so substantial as those on which the Spanish and Portuguese Governments based the claims which, in 1818, they submitted to the Go vernment of the United States, and which that Go vernment declined to satisfy:. Mr. Johnson can scarcely deny the appositeness of a precedent created by one of his own predecessors, and we may there fore reasonably expect that the course resolved upon by the Government at Washington will be one 1 which, "without compromising the national dignity and honour," will amount to a frank withdrawal of demands which could not equitably be sustained. The language in which Mr. Seward treated the Mexican question was far different in its tone. " The influence of the United States on the international conduct of foreign States, particularly on the Ame rican continent," would, he told his hearers, "though impaired by the civil war, be now re newed," and "he expected to see republican insti tutions, wherever heretofore established throughout the American continent, speedily vindicated, re newed, and invigorated." Unless Mr. Seward em ploys language for the purpose of concealing his thoughts, instead of expressing them, these words only admit of one construction. It is no secret that the famous doctrine which has received the name of President Monroe is one which specially recom mends itself to the national vanity, and any action taken by the Government with the view of uphold ing it, even though at the cost of a foreign war, would be viewed with almost universal satisfaction. Hitherto the American Government have contented themselves with refusing to recognise the new Mex ican empire—they have simply remained passive —but now, to quote the language of their spokesman, "their influence will be renewed." One can hardly suppose a Cabinet Minister, even in America, would give utterance to what egtainly sounds very like threats, if . •", Go • n ,'- I . .._. d no intention of carryi ng _ _ th • : ,I ii. 1... - qt : • ution ; and when Mr. Seward de . ~, ' '.'-, - • ' cts to see a republic whe r e an empire , now exists, people are justified in thinking that those with whose intentions he must be pre sumed to be acquainted have resolved on endea vouring to effect that change. American Ministers are so frequently betrayed into " bunkum" that we would willingly believe that in the present instance Mr. Seward had no other object in view than that of gratifying his audience by expressing sentiments which they would be sure to relish. But the Mexi can question is one, of all others, which ought only to be touched seriously. The present is certainly not the occasion which the Government at Wash ington would be likely to select for embarking in another war • and, whatever may be their designs, it is likely that the time for putting them into exe cution has not been determined upon. A distant policy must, however, be to a great extent depen dent on the course of events, and we may be per mitted to hope that, ere the subversion of the Mexican empire is, resolved upon, the American people may be brought to regard in a different light the exclusivi doctrine of President Monroe. The Albert Memorial Museum at Exeter. The ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the Albert Memorial Museum, at Exeter, took place on Monday, when the main streets of the city were decorated with flags, and gave tokens of a festive day. The site of the building is in Queen-street, adjoining the Post-office, and it is to be devoted to the purposes of a museum, library, reading-room, and school of art for the people. - The building is erected in memory of the late Prince Consort; hence its 'name, the Albert Memo;ial Museum. When completed it will be a handsome structure of the mediaeval style, 160 feet by 60 feet, with a general elevation of 55 feet. It will be built of Pocombe stone, relieved by Bath stone and limestone dress ings. There will be a room for the museum of antiquities at one end, with a room for the natural history department above it. A corridor will lead from the lower museum to the library and the reading-room, above which will be the school of art. There will also be class rooms, a curator's room, and librarian's room and porters' rooms. The en trances will be in the centre, and will consist of an arcade of three arches, with polished granite shafts with handsomely carved capitals. The chief en trance will lead to the great staircase, the centre flight of which is to branch out on both sides and lead to the main rooms of the building on that floor. At the top of the central staircase it is intended to place the bust of the late Prince Consort in a niche constructed for it. The windows are very artistic and deeply embossed. That portion of the building of which the stone was laid on Monday is but two fifths of the completed building according to the design, and temporarily is to be appropriated to the purposes of a museum, though eventually for the free library, and the two class rooms-behind the entrance staircase will be used for the public library until other portions are completed. The frontage of the building was given by Mr. It. S. Gard, who performed the ceremony of laying the founda tion stone. Amongst those who took part in the proceedings of Monday were the Mayor, the Earl of Devon, Sir Stafford Northcote, M.P., Sir Lawrence Palk, M.P., Lord Courtenay, M.P., Mr. T. Acland, &c. In the evening a dinner was held at the New London Inn, under the presidency of the Mayor. The company included Sir Stafford North cote, M.P., Lord Courtenay, M.P., Mr. J. D. Coleridge, M.l'., Sir Lawrence Palk, M.P., Sir John Bowring. In proposing " Prosperity to the Institution," Sir Stafford Northcote said, whilst of late years we had paid attention to the education of the labouring and poorer as well as the middle classes, we had been somewhat remiss in paying proper attention to those branches of educa tion which were mainly connected with the promotion of the natural sciences, and the study of the laws of the world. And yet there was no coun try in which the study of those laws were of more importance, materially and morally, than in Great Britain. Materially, it had been felt of late that they had a great battle to fight with their rivals in other countries—that whereas some 50 years ago England had the advantage over these foreign na tions of a greater accumulation of capital, and a better system of machinery, andpossessed moreover certain exclusive privileges from which other nations were shut out—especially the great privileges which they had enjoyed under the system of re striction and monopoly which they prescribed, and which had enabled them to command the mer chandise of the world—it had been felt, he said, that for many years other nations had been gaining on them. They were accumulating capital, and would soon be nearly a match for England in that respect. Then as regarded the facilities of transport throughout the world which their country had enjoyed, the promulgation and acceptance of the doctrine of free trade had, as it were, put all nations on one footing in respect to w h a t h a d b een considered the peculiar national advantages. The pressure of foreign competition was being more and more felt, and if Englishmen were to maintain their position at the head of the manufacturing nations of the world, it must be by the study of those laws of nature and of art to which allusion had been made, and the application of which must be always felt to be of the greatest importance in connection with their commerce and with their manufacturing industry. It had been over and over again pointed out by those who had attended to these subjects—and he might appeal for confir mation of this fact to his friend Sir John Bowring, who at a very early period had studied the subject, and presented avery valuable report upon had appeared to many if England was to maintain her pofla the e am co o n n t g i s n t en th t, e itla great vs manufacturing essential, and necessary, that she should not fall behind in the cultivation of science and art—the application of which by her rivals would render,them more formidable ; but which, if England used them, would render her irresistible. And there was another view which had been pressed upon them. It would be found in the evidence laid be fore the Commissioners on Public Schools, and by the report of that Commission, that in order to secure the proper education of their youth, in order to develope properly all the faculties of the mind, it was necessary not only to cultivate the faculties of reasoning, eloquence, and memory —to which they had perhaps paid too exclusive An attention—hut SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. p l e T t e n : with Es.— the Twenty three windows es seemsexceptionofthe that ha 1 of t l the of easinglelu present add i office.n,sPalace beenfinishedb di y n the , hand of the Giant, and his less completing only inherits the task of com pletingthmse twenty-fourth.

There There are numerous and inco n t r o ver tibl e precedents both ways. This charming office is a charming slipper that can fit any foot, a garment that will adapt itself to any shoulders. It has been held men of different positions, . characters, and acquire ments. It was not thought below the acceptance of Lord Holland, it was held by Mr. Nisbet Hamilton, Mr. Strutt, and Lord Granville, and, to cometolater times, by Mr. Cardwell and Lord Clarendon, who have each in turn exchanged it for the position of a Secretary of State. As the office has no duties, no body can be said to be particularly qualified for it ; and, on the other hand, nobody need be so extrava gantly modest as to consider himself disqualified. Such being the nature of the post, it must needs be a little surprising, to those who are not behind the scenes, that it has remained vacant even during the fortnight whichhassucceeded the death of Lord Pal merston. Perhaps it was not wise to call so much atten tion to the office at all as has necessarily been evoked by the omission to fill it up. It is one of those institutions that may well pass in a crowd, as it has often done before, but will scarely support a very rigorous or critical examination. It does, in deed, seem singular that it should have survived the abolition of so many offices, the salary of which made them naturally an object of regard to the Minister of the day, while the absence of all duty to be rendered to the public in return for that salary made them just in the same proportion obnoxious to the advocates of economy . and retrenchment. The office was defended on the ground that those who held the more important offices under the Go vernment were so fully occupied in the discharge of the duties annexed to those offices as to be unable to defend in debate the general policy of the Government ; and it was urged that there was an obvious advantage in creating a post free from arduous and responsible official duties, to be held by a man who would thus be able to give his whole time to assisting the Prime Minister in the management of debates in the House of Commons. This idea was, in fact, an anticipation of the notion which the logical genius of our neighbours across the Channel has since produced—the distinction between acting and speaking DiiiiiaWrg—a distinction as old ati the —/‘_ _,fec, NEWSpApER that the object in view might be ful 774 i ?

He did not put them forward as his own ; for they had long been advo cated by great men connected with the industry and the education of England ; but they were views which had been brought into a focus, and applied more especially by that illustrious personage whose name was connected with the memorial which had brought them together that day. They trod in his footsteps when they thus gave expression and advancement to the ideas which it was so much his province usefully to inculcate. COUNTRY MARKETS. GA I/ s TSBOROUGII—TUEADAY.

Cuba and 3lcxico EXTRAORDINARY PETITION.—The public women of Calcutta have sent in a petition to the Calcutta justices who are about to assist Government in establishing a Lock Hospital. The revelations they make are naively frank, without shocking decency, and are a terrible com mentary on Hindu idolatry. They say—" Tho number of the class, though already very large, is continually increas ing by reason of the non-marriage of widows, tho practice of polygamy, and the inability of the poorer classes of women to iiud any means of subsistence. The position occupied in India by women of the class is very different from that which is occupied by public women of Europe. In India such women form an essential part of society ; they are admitted to the most respectable Ilindoo houses, both in the male and the female departments ; they per form important functions in the worship of idols on the occasion of Ilindoo festivals, more especially on the Bth day of the Doorgah Poojah, in many ceremonies, and the festivals held to celebrate the arrival of the girls at the day of puberty. The most respectable Brahmins, who profess Goorooism, and are called divine guides, fre quently invite public women to their houses for the pur poses of worship, and public women invite Brahmins to their houses for the same purpose, and frequently make them their heirs." Tho memorialists quote the Calcutta Review in support of those statements, and ask that they may be preserved from the " vexatious applications under act 11 and 8 of 1860, section 14, which aro constantly made use of by ill-disposed persons solely for the purpose of inflicting annoyance on them." They ask for relief from these. , " evils" either by the justic es ass i gn i ng to them some portion of the city in which they may live unmo lested, or by causing the section to be repealed, and allow ing actual offenders only to be punished under the ordinary provisions of this law. This audacious memorial was re ferred to a committee.—Friend of India, Sept. 22.
