The Times reminds us that the seamen of 1870 Is not the first of the Reformed Parlimmint and the new Ministry but it is the:first in which the Ministry appear loefor Parliament 'as completely the originators of the measuree and policy of the year. Their calculations will be respon.

In some respects there can be no doubt the Ministry will show to advantage. " Pence.

The Land Question in Ireland is not such, could only be made such by the adopticn c n the part of the Government cf some extreme propor.al. see no reason why the Irish Land Bill should nut be earl ied without eliciting any of that acrimonious resistanc3 whica former measures have had to encounter. If the Land Question be not a party question, as little is the Education Question. The practical minds of the country have long been tending to an agree ment, and, though we may have some trouble with sectarian and anti-sectarian fanaticism, we see little doubt for believing that this matter, toe, may be settled, and still leave time for something more. We really hope that Mr. Gladstone will use his magnificent opportunities to make the present a prolific and useful session. When the House of Commons sees the Govern 'ment ready with a number of well-drawn bills, we feel sure it will contrive to find time for them, and will dis courage the independent members from straining their individual rights too far. The chief reason for the paucity of Government bills that are carried through is the less -. of time during the early part of-the session, and this Arises from the measures of the Government not having been prepared and laid before Parliament in due time. We '')elieve that the present Government will disappoint its best friends if it fail to display that energy and method which alone are necessary to satisfy . the desires of the country. ed to- MUTUAL LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION (Incorporated by Act of Parliament. 1859), 14, RUSSELL-STREET, COVENT-GARDEN, LONDON, And 38, QUEEN'S-ROAD, BRIGHTON 'DVANCES MONEY upon personal security, Bills of Sale, Free sold or Leasehold Property, for one, two, or three years, repay 'able weekly, monthly, or quarterly.

The very inspiration im planted in the American mind of a dominion ex tending over the Continent, was, perhaps, checked instead of forwarded by the Declaration of In dependence, and if Mr. Louis lived to see his vision realised it would probably but be what would actually have been in existence had there not been an American Revolution. It is evident that there is not a Mr. Louis now directing the Spectator, or its remarks on the British Columbia memorial and theßed River insurrection would not have been writ ten. It speaks of the desirability of two great na tions being maintained, with different political sys tems, to balance each other on the Continent. Supposing it to be desirable for power to keep power in check, to act on each other as a drag and to prevent all from being involved in the sort of smash which follows the fall of a basket wherein every egg is collected, then we say the continent should be separated with some reference to its geographi cal features, not by the arbitrary and ridiculous boundary line now marking off the British Posses sions. Mr. GREVILLE JOHN CHESTER, in his Trans atlantic Sketches, differs from the' opinion so elo quently expressed by Mr. BRIGHT, in answer to the prophecies of disruption so freely hazarded during the Civil War. " I see another and a far hap pier vision," &c. After quoting these well-known words, Mr. CIIESTER remarks, " The signs of the times, however, do, in my humble opinion, point in another direction, to the division, viz., of the Union into at least three great countries—to a Pacific State, with San Francisco for its capital to an Eastern State—and greatest of all to a West ern and Southern State, of which St. Louis pro bably will be the capital." Ilis division is that into which we divided the Sates to make its physical geography intelligible to the English emigrant ; that is—the Eastern slope of the Aileghauies sweeping up from Georgia, crossing the S. Law rence, and taking in all Upper and Lower Canada and the maritime provinces—the valley of the Mis sissippi, which Mr. CHESTER calls the Western and Southern States—and the Pacific slope from the summit of the Rocky Mountains, from Behring's Straits to the Gulf of California. Such boundaries have sense in them, wholly wanting to the Dominion, which the spectator considers ought to be nursed into a rival empire to . the United States. If the United States must be split up, as Mr. CHESTER (holding extraordinary Copperhead proclivities for an Englishman) considers inevitable, it would be far better that the Continent should first be merged into the Republic, and then subdivided, when phy sical geography could be consulted. Mr. Louis, on the contrary, considers the extension of the Re public not to be bounded by the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the North Pole ; for he would fede - rate the whole Anglo-Saxon race, whether in Aus tralia, Africa, Europe, or America. This is, ac cording to him, the coming destiny of the nations founded by England, and we are bound to say, whether feasible or not, that it is infinitely higher in conception. Even if impracticable, which it is not, it is good to encourage this Catholic feeling, for statesmen who foresee its accomplishment, or even have a dim notion of its feasibility in the next generation, would act with greater circumspection on the chance. Opinions would be modified, rough edges and extremes of prejudices rubbed off, and the possibility of a war breaking out between the two sections would be materially lessened. Should no thing come of it, still that would be no small gain, and although many may believe that Mr. Louis is, in his enthusiasm, pursuing a chimera, yet, if one, we are ourselves in much the same boat, for his ideas have often been foreshadowed in our columns. There is a curious remark in Mr. CHESTER'S book on the intense Englishness of everything he saw in the States, north, west, and south. As a general rule, he contradicts all previous travellers, and is not only Democratic in his tendencies, but is often hearty in his denunciations of things American, but be records this Englishness as the one grand idea pre sent to his mind wherever he travelled. Whether he was in Boston (where he takes occasion to denounce the growing vice of New England as well as Bos tonian conceit), Baltimore, St. Louis, or Chicago; whether in a Southern planter's house, a Western ranche, or a Northern farmer's homestead, ho felt more at home than if travelling in Yorkshire, in Wales, in Scotland, or in Ireland. May we ask Air. CHESTER whether a people so homogeneous are likely to split up, or if the fact he records be not the strongest in favour of Mr. Louis' dream? Since the above was in type, we have read the peroration of the Right Hon. W. E. FORSTER'S speech at Bradford, wherein, while acknowledging that it may be a dream, he asserted his belief that the time is coming when all English-speaking na tions will gladly enter into one groat Confederation. Turning towards the Republic, he added—" believe also, w hatever the present difficulties may bc,the time will come, and is coming quickly, when there will be no differences between us and our kinsmen in the United States. I hope that there are many here who will live to see it." While acknowledging that present appearances, as well as history, go to confirm the opinion that such a union can never be niore substantial than a dream, it is a fact that the faci lities for quick travel and instantaneous communi cation have lately changed the relation of communi ties towards each other, and rendered possible what to a former generation could only have been re garded as a dream. The efforts now making to improve and render more binding an international Code are steps towards realizing the vision, and alike in Europe and America we see the notion of a continental union steadily gaining ground. The standard thinks the strike al Creuzot is remarkable for the celerity with which it assumed a most menacing„, - character, and the paltriness of the motives alleged for it a w • The dispute, if dispute it can be called, between the wort 7- men and their employer about the administration of their society for mutual assistance had been settled by their own votes, and there appeared no reason to apprehend any further difficulty. The truth seems to be that Assy, the leader of the strike, and some of his colleagues had resolved upon a strike with other intentions than the obtainment of a mere paltry concession about the readmission of some discharged workmen, and found that that pretext was the only one they coulduse to justify the strike, which they be lieved would soon assume a political character. It is clear from the different reports that the ringleaders of the move ment are Socialists and Republicans ; it seems probable, too, thar M. Rochefort and some of the Irreconcileables ,f Paris had a finger in the pie. M. Assy has not acted alone or merely in concert with his fellow-workmen in M. Schneider's employ. The question is whether he has been working with the aid and at the instigation of the International League, to give the world another sign of that body's existence and power, or whether he and those who have worked with him have had a national and not a cosmopolitan object, and got up this strike, which promised at one time to result in serious bloodshed, In order to promote the aims of the Irreconcileablo and Revolutionary party in France. We shall, in all probability, now that the strike seems to be approaching a conclusion, very soon have an answer to that question. and in it an explanation of a movement which, upon the face of it, seems unintelligible. We should be glad indeed • if it should turn out that the statements hitherto made are incorrect, and the workmen at Creuzot had real grievances, and struck to obtain their redress. It will not be at all satisfactory to learn that either the Inter national League or the Paris Irreconcileables can at any moment paralyse the industrial activity of a district of France, and force on a bloody collision between the troops and misguided workmen. The Daily News remarks that another holocaust of vic tims to weasoning and unfounded panic was offered up at Liverpool en Sunday night. The story of the catas trophe by which sixteen persons lost their lives at the doors of a place of worship is but a repetition, in nearly all its details, of the old story of the madness of ' fear. It is so easy to be wise after the event, that we will not even attempt to say whether any blame is to be attached to tho architect of the building. The ordinary judgment of the public on events of this nature is that the means of exit from the building were insufficient for the purpe.:o and ought to be enlarged. But it may he seriously doubted whether any provision whatever will prevent the recur rence of such accidents. But of all feelings fear is the most . contagious, and a frightened crowd is the most fearful sight in the world. The wave of terror passes over it like a gust of wind over a corn-field; every face turns towards the supposed cause of alarm, then the whole 'mass sways in the direction of the door as by a singe Incontrollable impulse; the very movement intensifies the fear, and a frantic struggle ensues. This is the characteristic feature of all panics, and we are afraid it is impossible to hope that so long as great crowds of impulsive and unreflecting persons gather toge ther, these terrible calamities will not occasionally recur. in the accident at Manchester, in the summer before last, very slight cause produced the alarm to which twenty- Aire° persons were sacrificed, and in most other cases the darm itself was altogether needless and baseless. This is, n fact, the family feature of all such calamities. One word of false alarm arouses a fear which no assurances can allay. Under the excitement of an unregulated imagina tion this . fear speedily becomes a frenzy, and thus panic, like anger, is a short madness. The Telegraph observes with great satisfaction one point in M. Thiors's speech—which is, that ho does not indulge in the stereotyped fling against England. The ordinary Continental idea is, that we protected industry just so long as it suited our own purpose, and abolished Trace :ion the instant that we saw our own profit in so dcing, to the detriment and ruin of our neighbours. M. 'Mien:, indeed, enumerates all the measures passed to protect cur wool-trade in the old Tudor days. He compliments our ancestors upon their wisdom; he does no', lowever, add—as many do—that we call upon foreign nations to follow our example simply be cause it will bring grist to our own mill. We can assure M. Thiers, and the gentlemen acting with him, that neither we nor our ancestors deserve many compli ments for our wisdom. It was all stupidity, gentlemen— sheer stupidity ! We were no wiser than other nations— and were enamoured of just the same suicidal policy that others advocate now. We believed that we should male ourselves independent of foreign supply; we believe that wo could create and foster new branches of industry, by keeping foreign nations away from our markets; wo believed that we could hold the mastery of the seas, by keeping foreign keels off it. Now we know better; and wo have a firm conviction that cra long the great bulk of Frenchmen will also know better. They will learn that the commercial prosperity of a nation depends upon the commercial prosperity of its neighbours. It is by feeding, and not by starving, the markets of the world that we shall all grow rich. These visions of wars and foreign invasions will pass away front the minds of men like what they are—mere relics of a barbarous period in the world's history. Certainly the French people—with their ingenuity, their industry, their fine taste, and their many high qualities—need not fear that they will be last in the race when it is once open to all the world. The Pall Mall Gazette says ,that the Bishop of Exeter nas been giving what to manypeople will seem anill-timed warning against putting too much faith in educational systems. We believe that the Bishop of Exeter has judged wisely in giving the warnings now. In the long run there is no more fatal check to sustained efforts than exaggerated expectations. If we lay the Bishop of Exeter's words to heart we shall,be saved from this danger at all events as regards one of the supposed results. Dr. Temple is not a man likely to under estimate the importance of educational machinery, or to be indifferent to the necessity of ~maltinz such machinery co -extensive with the wants of ~ t he population. But Ito knows also that the most" perfect Machinery must leave much to the skill of those who use it, and that the more precious the result the more certainly does the law apply, Granting that acompulsory system will not be permanently effective if the people have no wish' that their children shall be educated, it does not follow that such a systeri may not be a necessary preliminary to the creation of the wish.
