" I can conceive no cause more suicidal for the counsellors of the Church of England to take, then to identify sterling Churchmanship with political Conservatism, and represent the two as mseparable." A Conservative Government may, if it chooses, promote no clergyman who will not vote for Mr. Hardy and Mr. Mowbray, and Mr. Fursa believes that the present Government has made resolution, but- the most honourable patrons of the`lurch and the worthiest clergymen—men like De :t Hook, for instance—would feel it an insult to have it suggested that there was any understanding that the promoted should hereafter espouse the pro moter's politics. Mr. Furse concludes an able letter by appealing to the John Bull to say honestly if Sir Bounden Palmer is not as good a Churchman as Mr. Mowbray.

Lloyd, 14, Seymour-street, Port mw-Square, to whom . commuzications may be addressed SIR ROBERT PEEL. Sir Robert Peel, when Secretary for Ireland, made a rapid tour through the country in a jaunting car, and came down to the House and declared that ho found Ireland most prosperous and contented. His second impression of that tour is very different from his first. He has just been telling his constituents at Tamworth. what terrible sights he saw, especially in Galway; and now he attributes all the misery to the spoliation of the Catholic landowners 200 years ago. He is quite revolutionary in talking upon this subject. He suggests that the great London com panies should be compelled to give up their estates about Londonderry, and that Trinity College, Dublin, should have to make a like surrender of its property. In fact, he goes far beyond Mr. Bright on the land question. But he is very shy about the Church. He declines to commit himself, and says only that he support Mr. Gladstone as far as he can. The trot , that Sir Robert is such a strong anti- Papist (which is a very different thing from being a Protestant) that he cannot bear the idea of doing anything which will, as he thinks, place the Protestant religion in a worse, and the Popish religion in a better, position than they occupy now. MR. BRIGHT AT EDINBURGH. The Spectator finds fault with its old friend. It no longer lauds Mr. Bright to the skies. It even charges him with " losing his caution ;" says his remarks were 44 rash " for a coming Cabinet Minister ; and goes so far as to declare that after his last speech at Edin burgh "it becomes difficult to think of him as the head of a great military monarchy like India." The Daily News, too, without really finding fault with Mr. Bright, differs from him b; questioning whether others have so much foresight as he—and by speaking of the millennium to which Mr. Bright is looking as being very far distant. The Times is afraid that the hon. gentleman is putting forward very plausibly the especial error of democracy. He thinks that it cannot be wrong to interfere with a person to compel him to be virtuous. The Times thinks freedom preferable to faultlessness. But the Spectator really points out some - serious defections in the speech of the "tribune of the people," as it has been of late the fashion of certain Ministerial journals to call him. It first remarks that Mr. Gladstone, "who likes a full treasury," will not thank him for his "free breakfast-table " cry. I Some of his colleagues will look askance at his pro posals, sensible and moderate though they be, about the land laws. And " there are very few who will read his remarks on war without a wince. He would not, apparently, arm to save a free people from being crushed by a foreign invasion, and would apparently disarm both army and navy—thus openly inviting assault." Per haps, however, he does not mean all this. But remembering that he said "Perish Savoy," that he does not approve of the only substitute for armies— national drilling—and that he holds campaigns like Marlborough's, which saved the freedom of Holland, to be mere acts of lunacy, the Spectator thinks it difficult to look upon him as the future Secretary for India. THE "PHILOSOPHICAL RADICALS" AND Silt ROUNDELL PALMER. There has been a great deal of comment on the absence of certain well-known names from Pt - Roundell Palmer's Oxford committee. Among others Professors Beesly and Harrison were severely cen sured by their own party papers. Professor Harrison, however, writingto the Spectator, says thatbothhe and Mr. Beesly sent in their names at the earliest opportu nity and without a moment's hesitation, but they have not appeared in the earlier editions of the list. The inference is, that the committee were afraid of such extreme Radicalism asthat represented by the patron of Moses. The Marquis of Salisbury at one end, and the Professor at the other, would be a complete representation of the opposition to Disraelism. MR. BUXTON. A few days ago we drew attention to the contents of a letter from Messrs. Shaen and Roscoe, in which they endeavoured to dissociate Mr. Buxton from the latest proceedings of the Jamaica Committee. There are three letters in the Standard upon this subject. Alderman Rose is the writer of one, and he states that Mr. Buxton is " distributing through the county of Surrey a series of libels without parallel even in the proceedings of the Jamaica Committee. He says also that after Mr. Buxton retired from the chair manship of the committee he contributed £3OO to the funds. Contradicting the statement of Messrs. Shaen, that the committee in no way assisted or promoted the action against Mr. Eyre brought by Mr. Phillips, the Alderman states that a printed statement of the case was prepared by their counsel. There is much more to the same purpose, but most people interested in politics will think that there are enough leading questions before the electors without raking up old tales like these. - - ANOTHER LETTER FROM MR. GLADSTONE. This is the clay of letters, and epistles have come lately in a shower. We ha ve anotler from Mr. Glad stone, which has been called forth by some Edin burgh politician—that is to say, if the production be genuine. It is dated " llawarden, Manchester ;" but that may be a printer's slip for Chester. Te letter runs thus :—" I have no difficulty in assuring you that, so fax as my opinion goes, the disesta.- blishment ' of the Irish Church does not remove Christianity from its place as part of the laws of the land—nor the repeal of the Bill of Rights—nor the alteration of the Coronation Oath—nor the restora tion of the Canon Law. I have little used the word disendowment,' and always, I think, with explanations." MR. MILL., The Conservative papers, having grown weary oi attacking Mr. Mill for his Radicalism, are now vary ing the entertainment byaccusing him of plagiarising from an old Tory writer. The two charges don't ).old together very well. But that is of no conse quence. Any stick is good enough to beat a dog. They have, further, produced a long list of writers, in which they say they have discovered the same ideas as Mr. Mill's. Very probably. Political economy is not poetry. A political economist cannot invent principles any more than an astronomer can invent the movements of the heavenly bodies. But of course the Tories could not be expected to know this ; they could not be expected to understand that political economy is a science, seeing that their whole career has been an attempt to violate its first prin ciples. .3111. ROEBUCK. We give it up.: The Sheffield election has long' puzzled us, but it ie now become a hopeless mystery. We said some time ago that Mr. Roebuck was being most unfairly treated by the trades unionists because of the part which he took in denouncing the Sheffield outrages, and we said that little as we ever expected to wish Mr. Roebuck's election, the unionists would drive us to that. But 10, presto ! the scene changes, and Mr. Roebuck has received the alle giance of Broadhead. Broadhead owes it to Roe buck that he has been exposed as a murderer, has escaped the gallows only by the promise of pardon upon confession ; and yet Broadhead has raised the banner of Roebuck for ever! Can any one—can even Mr. Spofforth, who knows all things else connected with elections—explain this combina tion ? It is to us utterly inexplicable; but it relieves us from all further embarrassment about the Shef field election. We did not wish to see the advocate of the publicans in Parliament—the man who " spat " upon the Sunday Closing Bill, and who is now backed with Messrs. Bass's money. We do not wish to see the nominee of Broadhead the murderer there. THE ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN. The address to the Queen against the disestablish ment of the Irish Church is said to have received nearly half a million of signatures. Of course the great bulk of the signers are Englishmen. Among them is the Irvingite Duke of Northumberland, Mrs. Disraeli, and Mrs. Disraeli's husband, who now asks the Queen to support the Church which his historical conscience assures him he rightly condemned as " alien." A GOOD ANSWER. The John Bull lately fell foul of Mr. Furse, vicar of Staines, because, being, as our contemporary alleged, appointed to that living by Lord Chancellor Chelmsford, he was supporting Sir Bounden Palmer at Oxford. Mr. Furse replies, that as a matter of fact he was appointed by Lord Westbury; but even supposing the John Bull had been correct, does that journal really mean to assert that a clergyman on receiving pro motion should bind him evar.l. on a partisan to vote acQording to his patron '.§ The John. Bull strongly urges upon Mr. Disraeli to appoint Bishop Wilberforce to the archbishopric of Canterbury, and Archdeacon Denison (a letter writer and leader-writer in the Aim Bull) to the bishopric of Oxford. If Mr. Disraeli means to take our contemporary's advice, we may be certain that we shall hear nothing of the appointments after the elections are over. Two such seleetions coming together would convert what Macaulay called " the bray of Exet 3r Hall" into a shout of execration that would be unpleasant on nomination day, still more unpleasant on polling-day. Dr. Harold Browne, Bishop of Ely, is much spoken of as a likely man for the metropolitan see. Ho would probably give the least dissatisfaction of any man on the bench. The Low Church party in his diocese claim him *a a friend; the High Church party generally believe that at least he is not an enemy. He is a scholar, a theologian, and in every way superior to another prelate who has been spoken of—Dr. Jackson, of Lincoln. If he were translated there are a good many Cantabs who would like to see Dean Goodwin take his place. But it is under stood that the royal veto has been recorded against the Dean. So there is no hope of promotion for a man who certainly deserves it a hundred times more than Mr. Prothero, the Court chaplain at Osborne. MR. JAMES GRANT. The gentleman who has been permitted to reveal to the world the wonders of the seventh heavens, which it was forbidden to an Apostle to declare—the gentleman who is permitted also to exercise the far higher privilege of defending the cause of the publicans and the victuallers—has just published a new book. The author of "OurHeavenlyHome," and the editor of the Morning Advertiser, has written a work, of which we can hardly say that it ought to be in everybody's hands. We would rather say that it ought to be under everybody's feet. The subject is " The Reli gious Tendencies of the Times, and How to Deal with Them." The tendencies are, in the opinion of the gin-men's advocate, very loose indeed, and he makes very short work of them. The man who hopes that God in his mercy will find some means of restoring the wicked, has, says Mr. Grant, the mark of the beast upon his forehead. Men like Professor Maurice are traitors in the Christian camp, who betray Chris tianity as Judas betrayed its founder. Dean Stanley is a semi - infidel, the abettor of flagrant immorality. Even the Low Church clergy do not escape. Mr. Minton, who believes that the wicked will be destroyed, excites the wrath of the beer house oracle, and is told that he holds views " most awful" and ‘‘ most repulsive." Mr. Birks, a senior wrangler, one of the few men of intellect among the Low Church party, is denounced, apparently for being " intellectual"—a crime in the eyes of Mr. Grant. Dean Alford is something indescribably bad. All the chief writers of the day, the men who have any real hold on the people—are held up to reproach. No doubt there are but two men blameles6l—tho editor 01 the Record and the editor of the Advertiser. These are the salt of the earth, these who turn religion into libel. One of whom, having done his best to muddle men's brains by beer, endeavours to stunt their souls with a theology that is of the devil. EXIT We have a startling announcement to make. Mr. Murphy has retired from the candidature of Man chester, not, however without a care for his w ould-have-been constituents. He has made every inquiry, and he states that he is perfectly satisfied with the character of Messrs. Hoare and Birley, the Conservative candidates. He recommends these, therefore, to Manchester. Would that it were a final exit of Mr. Murphy from public attention, and that the play in which he has too long acted were over. But, unhappily, though he leaves us in the character of candidate for Manchester, he is only too likely to come back again in the more hateful one of Protestant agitator. In the one case it is broad farce, and one can laugh, knowing that he will do no harm. But riots ending in death are serious affairs, and in their efforts to suppress the cause it is hoped that the I magistracy will be successful. BRIGHTON. The condition of Brighton is a pretty satire upon British liberty. Either the authorities are very easily frightened, or the roughs are a troublesome set. On Guy Fawkes day the fire-engines were kept in readiness in case the mob set fire to St. James's Chapel, and a body of police were stationed in the neighbourhood. Another body were placed near the house of Mr. Purchas, and the worst was prepared for. Whether these precautions intimidated the enemies of order, or whether they thought better of it, is not known, but they contented themselves with a tame procession of guys, including the Pope, Mr. Purchas, Madame Rachel, Mrs. Borrodaile, and Lord Ranelagh, and let off some fireworks in the evening. The impar tiality of this selection, and the prudence which eliminated the political element from the demonstra tion, is much to be commended. A CLERICAL CANDIDATE. The Rev. Herbert Smith, of Shirley, Southampton, who was formerly chaplain at Marchwood, and in the Board of Ordnance, has offered himself as a candi date for South Hants. This is an unusual occur rence. Both the electors and Mr. Smith may save themselves some trouble if they are reminded that a clergyman is ineligible for a seat in Parliament, except in the Upper House. Mr. Smith must wai' till he is a bishop. WANTED-AN 2EDrLE. An excellent letter appears in the Spectator from a correspondent at Newcastle, upon the want of a Minister who should have the architectural and sanitary interests of towns under his management. We have a " Master of the Buckhounds" and a " Master of the Horse," but no one to look after the growth and being of our large towns. The Home Office has enough to do, and the usual mayor and town council are by no means equal to their duties. Parks are required in the great towns. The writer thinks that London is much better off in this respect than some of the manufacturing towns of the North, huge and hideous, without the impress of any design. He suggests that the proposed iEdile should have charge of public buildings and the responsibility of I enforcing all enactments as to smoke prevention, the health of towns, &c. The writer has chosen a wide and important subject. All our social machinery is out of order, Acts of Parliament are useless because they are not enforced, and " every man does I that which is right in his own eyes." In foul and blackened dens, without the remotest idea of what fresh air means, living upon adulterated food and poisonous drinks, men drag out a weary existence. Physical degradation is succeeded by I moral depravity, and humanity is as far removed from its divine original as the hideous works of man are from the fair face of the nature which they darken. LITERATURE, SCIENCE, ART, &Cf The Athenaum has the following announcements: — A project is on foot for erecting a suitable monument at Bristol to Bally, the sculptor.—Mr. Alexander J. Ellis has just discovered that one Hare, a linguistia author of the Elizabethan era, is a fiction, and that the works were written by John Hart. In the Orchestra appear the following items : We hear that the new piece by Mr. Edmund Yates, to be produced at the Prince of Wales Theatre, is entitled " Tame Cats."—One of Rossini's last compositions was a fanfare for military band, entitled " La Corona d'ltalia," designed for performance by the bands of the garrison at the Pitti Palace, Florence,in presence of the King.—lt is stated that an opera in one act is shortly to be produced at Pra g ue, written by Gluck, and very little known, called " The Magical Tree." It was composed for a gala represen tation, which was composed on the occasion of the marriage of the Dauphin with Marie Antoinette. The King of Bavariahas withdrawn his pension from the poet Geibel, for writing a poem to welcome the novelist, has written to the King that he shares Geibel's political sentiments, and resigns his pension. The King of Prussia has given Geibel the same amount of pension which the King of Bavaria has withdrawn from him. THE COMIC SONGt. For some time it has been a subject for wonder that any sane people can listen to the idiotic drivel lings of the modern so-called comic song. Yet it is a fact that the greatest rubbish is the most popular, and that the singers of these songs—men generally without a spark of education, refinement, or humour, and even with very poor voices—make a fortune. Here is a specimen of the latest comic song:— Pretty little Flora serves behind the bar Bass's bitter ales and porter ; lounge there all the day, and I cannot get away For it breaks my heart to leave my little Flora The writer has attained. perfection in this effusion that is, he has ignored rhyme, reason, and wit mord absolutely than any of his predecessors.
