Altogether the news of to-day is sufficiently strik ing in many respects to awaken the interest of the most phlegmatic. The vacant Primacy is filled up by the translation of the Right Hon. and Right Reverend ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL TAIT to the Archbishopric of Canterbury. This is another of Mr. DISRAELI'S judicious ecclesiastical appointments, Dr. TAIT being very generally regarded as a " safe man" for the post, even at this critical juncture in the history of the English Church Establish ment. Another discreet promotion, it is felt by many, is the simultaneous transference of the Bishop of OXFORD to the see of London, vacant by the creation of the new Primate. It is rather re markable, as we take it, that among the many eccle siastical appointments of the highest importance which have devolved upon Mr. DISRAELI since he assumed the responsibilities of the First Lord of the Treasury, there is not one but has been received throughout the country with a sense of satisfaction. This would have been sufficiently noticable even under the most ordinary circumstances, but at a critical period such as the present it is matter almost of asto nishment. And it is not by any means through the selection by the Premier of mere respectable mediocrity that he has contrived to evade the risk of causing dis pleasure among the conflicting parties in and around the national Church Establishment. Respectable mediocrity would be simply an absurd phrase, for example, to apply in the present instance either to Dr. WILBERFORCE as the new Bishop of London or to Dr. 1 arr as the new Archbishop of Canterbury. The former is the most brilliant and gifted prelate on the Bench of the Lords Spiritual. While, as to the new Primate, it is altogether beyond dispute, we presume, that during the period of his governance of the See of London he has shown himself in that highest position of all under the two Eng lish Archbishoprics, to be incomparably the ablest organizer and administrator among the whole epis copal body. Beyond which incontestable fact—a fact which will be emblazoned, in the history of the see he is now leaving, in connection with the Fund with which his name will long be inextricably asso ciated—it is considered by a very considerable majo rity that he is, perhaps, as likely a man as any that could have been selected by the Premier, to hold the balance equably between the three great opposing parties in the English Church—the Broad Church standing intermediately—the High Church, soaring towards Ritualism—the Low Church, embracing the whole body of the Evangelicals. The position is so far difficult that few would probably feel dis posed to congratulate his Grace, the New Primate, upon his lofty elevation, more particularly remem bering the delicate state of his health, often hitherto a source of great anxiety to his friends, and fre quently before now necessitating his withdrawal for an interval from the comparatively easy duties devolving upon him as Bishop of LONDON—compara tively easy, we mean, as contrasted with those in cumbent upon any one holding the highest rank of I all in the English Church, namely, the Primacy, weighted as the later is with so many and such supreme responsibilities. Immediately before the new Primate there is looming up, of course, that momen tous question as to the case of Mr. BENNETT before which the memorable case of Mr. GORHAM sinks into absolute insignificance. Upon the decision arrived at as the result of the BENNETT inquiry, far more vital consequences hinge than any that ctn possibly accrue from either the disestablishment or the disen dowment of the Irish Church. Every one is con scious of that, no matter what may be his religious opinions—whether High Church, Low Church, or Broad Church —whether Protestant, Catholic, or Dis senter. Upon the issue of that inquiry will turn the future of Dr. PusEY and all his enormous following. For this the new Primate must be prepared as a crisis inevitably before him, and one that must follow very soon indeed, after his installation in the archiepisco pal chair in Canterbury Cathedral. Simultaneously with the announcement of the nomination of the new Archbishop comes the corn mencement, on this very day, in the vast majority of the boroughs of the United Kingdom, of the various candidates seeking admission to the House of Com mons through a General Election necessitated by the great question now before the country in regard to the maintenance or destruction of the Irish Church Establishment. Several years have now elapsed since the Prince CONSORT'S declaration to the effect that Constitutional Government was then (according to the opinion of his Royal Highness, and of hardly another man be sides his Royal Highness throughout the whole British Empire) upon its trial. Somewhat the same remark might with very considerably more reason be now made, not in regard to Constitu tional Government, but in regard to Protestantism as represented by the Church Establishment upon either side of St. George's Channel. In Ireland the position of that establishment is assailed from with out. In England it is assailed, rather it might be said, from within. In either case it arises now as a very striking coincidence that the same day with esses the commencement of the General Election, and the announcement of the new Archbishop of Canterbury. The struggle is coming —later on—here in the House of Commons, here before Convention : here in the question as to the Irish Church, here in the inquiry now impending in regard to Mr. BENNETT. Parlia ment has other work before it as well, and so has the newly nominated Primate of all England: but for all that the alternative of the maintenance or of the disintegration of the English Church as an Establish ment, is coming very imminently and urgently, in deed, before both for their immediate consideration. AT length, within two days of the nomination, Lord STANLEY has announced his opinions on all the great political questions of the day. It would be ungracious to say that having put off this announce ment so long he might as well have put it off a little longer. There is at least nothing ungracious, but it is rather complimentary, if we express our regret that he did not speak before. lle is one of the triumvi rate—a member of the Cabinet within the Cabinet. Of the two other members, one is forbidden by the etiquette of the constituency which he represents to make an election tour; and as for Mr. DISRAELI, he has nothing to say but praise of Lord STANLEY. Under these circumstances, a speech such as that which the FOREIGN SECRETARY has just delivered would have been a windfall indeed to Conservative candidates up and down the country. They have been at their wits' end for subjects to talk about. Fearing to pronounce upon any questions opinions which a month hence they may have to swallow, they have been reduced to a pitiable state of generalising and vagueness. They have been for " wise and well-considered" reforms in every depart ment, from the government of a hundred and fifty millions of fellow-subjects in India to the regulation of parochial politics ; but they have never, with all their wisdom, been able to devise any of the measures which they are so anxious to support. We need hardly add that Lord STANLEY is in most matters a good deal more precise than the rank and file of the Conservatives; for he is in most matters a thorough Liberal, rutting aside his remarks ,4 THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 16, 1868. upon the Irish Church, which amount to nothing, just because we are all anxious "to reform and not to destroy," we find a most admirable and statesmanlike review of home and foreign politics, from which no true Liberal, no one, that is, who is a Liberal as distinct from a partisan, will care to dissent. Our only surprise is that his lordship should have refused the offer which was made to him by Lord PALMERSTON in 1855 (who was much less of a Liberal than Lord STANLEY) and that made by Lord RUSSELL in 1865. In Lord STANLEY'S case private claims have prevailed over public. Taking seriat i'm the subj ects discussed by the Fo REIGN SECRETARY, we join with him in congratulating the country upon having got rid of the church-rate question. He was always opposed to church rates, even when his chief three years ago took credit to himself and his party for having resisted the abolition of the impost, and pointed to that resistance as a proof of the growth of Conservatism. Then as to Parliamentary Reform, Lord Stanley thinks as we think, that if it had not been granted the country would have been landed in grave perils. We thoroughly agree with him in thinking that Parliament should not be called upon to take up the question of Reform again. There is other work to do. The machine has been put in order, and must now be set going. There is only one small defect which has to be remedied. There is a slight impediment to the smooth working of the machine—the personal payment of rates. Lord STANLEY spoke right when he said that the increased constituencies will involve more costly elections, and so throw the representation into the hands of even more wealthy men than before. This is just what Mr. FAWCETT said. No doubt Lord STANLEY will make no further objection to the PROFESSOR'S proposal for throwing the legitimate expenses of an election upon the constituency. Passing by for the moment foreign affairs, we go on to education. Lord STANLEY does not approve of " compulsory " education. Neither do we approve of the word. What is meant by compulsion ? Why that if any children are found destitute and ignorant they shall be educated by the State, and if the State can make the parents pay, so much the better; if not, it will be cheaper for the State to pay than to let the children grow up in ignorance, which is a synonym for vice and crime. What is meant by compulsion? Why that children shall not be permitted to work unless they are receiving a certain amount of education; that the fac tory system,whichhas lately b een extended into a variety of manufacturing trades, shall be extended to agri culture. " Compulsion" is a disagreeable word. We will have nothing to do with it. We will only see to it that a child shall not be suffered through the negligence or the cupidity of its parents to grow up ignorant. Lord STANLEY says that if popular feeling is against a compulsory law, it will not work; if it is not against the law, the law is not needed. We do not care to argue upon this epigram ; we only want such a law as already exists to be extended. We leave Lord STANLEY to ascertain if it was un popular or not when it was first introduced. We know that it has been most effective. Coming next to public expenditure, we are glad to see that Lord STANLEY is in favour of economy ; not in the vague way which we find in most Conserva tive speeches, where economy is always coupled with the " necessity for maintaining the efficiency the army and the navy unimpaired." He is quite fair in attributing a portion of the increased expenditure of the last twenty years to the decreased value of the sovereign, thatis to say, a sovereign will no longer purchase as much of a commodity as it used to buy. But the value of the sovereign has not gone down so much during the last three years, that the decline will account for the increased expenditure of three millions. Lord STANLEY attributes the less satisfactory state of our Exchequer now, as compared with 1865, to the panic of the following year. That may be an ex planation of the decreased revenue, yet is no excuse for increased expenditure, but rather the reverse. Then, as to the details of taxation—the means of raising the revenue—we find ourselves very much at harmony with the Foreign Secre tary. Taxes on locomotion are bad, just as any taxes are which impede industry. For the tax on insurance, which is a tax upon providence, not one word can be said. Pauperism Lord STANLEY finds a very difficult subject, and so it is. It is lamentable, for instance, that our pauper laws should act as a direct incentive to improvidence, by aiding the man who, when he is out of work or sick, has nothing to fall back upon, and by refusing to aid him if he have been prudent enough to subscribe to some friendly society or club. And yet we do not at all see how that evil is to be reme died. In truth, the Minister who would devise some remedy for it would be the first statesman of this or any day. In the meanwhile it is to be regretted that our statesmen do not recognise that the liquor trade is the one great source of pauperism, for the more difficult it is to cure a disease the more are they bound to prevent it. Then we come to Ire land. There is the Irish Church, which Lord STANLEY wishes to reform, not to destroy. Nevertheless, if, as Lord STANLEY states, Ireland contains the most ardent and devoted Catholics in Europe, that seems to us all the more reason why they should not be exposed to the insult of having established among them, and in defiance of them, a national Church which is detested by the great bulk of the nation. As to the land question, we find ourselves somewhat at issue with Lord STANLEY, simply because he seems to confound the old cottier system—the system of tenancy at will—with that of peasant proprietorship. In truth, no two systems could be more opposed. Turning to foreign affairs, we find room for un qualified approbation. Lord STANLEY has, as one of his audience reminded him, adopted the foreign policy of Mr. COBDEN. We were only afraid that, like all new converts, Lord STANLEY would be dis posed to carry his master's principles to an excess. It is quite true that, as Lord STANLEY said, we have an excellent ally across the Channel (what a change must have come over the nation since Lord PALMER STON declared that steam had bridged the Channel) ; but we do not wish to see England become too insular. There are times when English counsel should be offered if England's fleets are not. Such a time has arrived now. Lord STANLEY believes that the nations of Europe keep up their large armies not because they wish, but because they are afraid of war. If he is right there ought to be no serious difficulty in inducing the nations to put clown their armaments. If they really desire peace they must be glad enough to accept any good proposal for securing it. Never theless there are difficulties in the way, and the greatest is, no doubt, the unsettled condition of the Turkish tributary States. On this Lord STANLEY spoke with a seriousness that will have no little effect upon the Continent. He considers that the state of Eastern Europe is very grave—very dangerous to the peace of the whole Continent. We hope we do not mis understand him in thinking that he is endeavouring, with other leading Powers, to alleviate these embar rassments, and to prevent, by wise counsel and friendly co-operation, a calamity whose results would be alike mischievous and immeasurable. CAISTOR AGRICULTURAL SOTETY. -The largest meeting in the county of Lincoln, so celebrated for such gatherings, was held at Caistor on Wednesday last. No less than 88 teams assembled to compete for the various prizes. Tho land selected was a strong cloverley, and the work was generally considered superior to anything that has hitherto been shown at this meeting. The All England Prize for wheel ploughs was well contested, and was won by James Barker, Messrs. Ransome's ploughman. On Tuesday Mr. Goodyear won tho Farmers' Sons Cup at the Lincoln Match, which was the twentieth cup won by farmer's sons this season witla Messrs. Ransome's ploughs. NOT A BAD JOKE—on the whole !

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, SUNDAY, November 15. The Bourse was gloomy yesterday. After - enjoying a remarkably long term of existence in the salubrious regions above 70, Rentes threatened to fall below it, and have narrowly escaped. The events of the day are unusually unfortunate for the Second Empire. First there is Lord Stanley's speech at Lynn, which, however just and statesmanlike, is by no means welcomed here. 1 The telegraphic summary was considered so unfavourable that some of the papers, it is said, received invitations from a certain quarter to hold it back and wait for the full text. It was feared that the case of the article from the Journal de St. Peterthourg might be repeated. The full text, however, is even more disagreeable than the sum mary, and has served only to produce a stronger impres sion. The speech clearly announces that, in case of a war between France and Prussia, England would remain an interested but not an active spectator. This is no news, but other tokens go to shew that France is left alone in Europe. Baron Beust's circular to the Austrian Ambassadors disclaims any warlike signification in his rpeech to the military committee ; and it has beendivulged that France has made Rome a present of 20,000 rifles—an action which can hardly meet with a favourable reception lln Italy. It would not be inappropriate, as the inderen- Vance] Beige observes, to draw up a fourth map pf Europe, in which all the nations on the Continent are represented by shades more or less dark of hostility or defiance to France. Lord Stanley, however, said some- thing much more obnoxious. The excitement here has been caused chiefly by the assertion, which is true enough, that Prussia has nothing to do but bide her time in order to fully accomplish 'her political unity. This, then, cry the indignant Parisians, is the evil of England's media 'ion in the interests of peace. The British Government wish to bring about 2,ientente cordiale between France and Prussia, but the on y mode by which it is proposed lo accomplish that difficult task is by granting Prussia all the benefits and exacting from France all the concessions! Lord Stanley has fallen greatly in French estimation as a political mediator. His Prussian " sympathies," as they are called, are deemed unpardonable. The Gaulois, too, has managed, by its incredible conspiracy announcement, to do the Govern rent considerable harm. Not only did it state that the Baudin agitation really emanated from he authors of a widespread conspiracy, but it has persisted in supporting this statement, notwithstanding facial denials. The new journal is to be prosecuted for publishing false news, but, whether real or imaginary, its ' conspiracy " has had the effect of causing much alarm. come well-informed people say that the question of this lot was raised first by M. Pinard, the Minister of the interior, at the Cabinet Council of Thursday. M. Pinard tepresented France as intersected throughout by the rami f cations of a vast democratic league, the aim of which pas and is to try again the test of the 2nd of December, which placed the present r!gime in power. The Ministerof the Interior is said to consider the situation as a very grave pne, but he did not affirm, as the Gaulois did, that a plot tiad been discovered. It is added that the discussion was very animated, and that M. Pinard offered his resignation ; but if he did so it has been refused. Another rumour is to the effect that a plebiscitum will shortly be taken, with the view of again securing to the Emperor the powers which were conferred upon him in 1852, and abrogating 11 the concessions of the 19th of January and the 24th of ovember. These statements, particularly the last, must e taken cum magno grano, but they spew how great is the feeling of dissatisfaction at the manner in which France is tow governed. Lastly, there is the Baudin affair itself. The journals are flied with immense reports of the trial, the judgment alone teing a report in itself. It wholly sets aside the prime argu. pents of the Opposition, that such a prosecution was pithout precedent, that it really came under no law, that publishing a subscription was not a manoeuvre, and that the demonstrations in the cemetery, whatever might ie their illegality, had no connection with the act of the gewspapers. The court deliberated long, but its reflec tion could hardly have been more than a farce. This rosecution would never have been carried so far in he face of a possible acquittal. As it is, it difficult to see ow the Government can claim to have gained a victory in his unfortunate affair. The deaths amongst men of influence and fame have been very numerous during the last day or two. Baron amen de Rothschild has followed Rossini and M. Havin. e was the fifth and last surviving son of Meyer-Anselm, he founder of the great house. He was born May l i 5, 1792. He settled in Paris in 1812, and was Pie head of the financial establishment in that city with which his family is connected.

The Archbishopric of Canterbury, vacant by the death of Dr. Longley, has been conferred on the Bishop of London, and has been accepted. The Right Hon. and Right Rev. Archibald Campbell Tait, D.C.L., who has thus been raised to the highest position in the English Church, was born on the 22d of December, 1811, and is the fifth and youngest son of the late Mr. Craw ford Tait, writer to the signet, of Harvieston, in the county of Clackmannan. He was educated at the High School, and afterwards at the Aca demy of Edinburgh, under Archdeacon Williams. In 1827 he went to the University of Glas gow, where he attended the lectures of the late Sir Daniel R. Sandford and Mr. Buchanan. He was elected in 1830 as an Exhibitioner on Snell's foundation to Balliol College, Oxford, of which he became successively Scholar, Fellow, and Tutor. He took his B.A. degree in 1830, when he was first class in Classics. In 1842, on the death of Dr. Arnold, he was elected to the Head Mastership of Rugby School, and, in 1850, was nominated by Lord Russell, then Prime Minister, to the deanery of Carlisle. On the resignation of Dr. Blomfield, in 1856, Dr. Tait was nominated Bishop of Lon don, in which diocese he has laboured with un wearied assiduity up to the present time. It has also been intimated, with some show of probability, that the vacancy created by the eleva tion of Bishop Tait will be filled up by the trans lation of Dr. Wilberforce from Oxford to London. The Right Rev. Samuel Wilberforce, D.D., F.R.S., Chancellor of the Order of the Garter, and Lord High Almoner to the Queen, is son of the late William Wilberforce, Esq., M.P. for Yorkshire. He was born in 1805, and was educated at Oriel College, Oxford (B.A. as second class in Classics, and first class in Mathematics, 1826 ; M.A. 1823, D.D. 1845). He was Rector of Brightstone, Isle of Wight, 1830-40 ; Archdeacon of Surrey, 1839-45 ; Canon of Winchester and Rector of Alverstoke, 1840-5 ; Dean of Westminster, 1845 ; Chaplain to the late Prince Consort, 1839-45 ; and consecrated thirtieth Bishop of Oxford, 1845. He was also appointed one of the Select Preachers at Oxford for 1868. MR. BERNAL OSBORNE ON INDEPEN DEN7 MEMBERS. In a speech at Nottingham, on Friday evening, Mr. Bernal Osborne, referring to some special fea tures of the contest in that borough, said they had got one candidate who was a man of letters, and a nolt was said that " a man in is lifetimehonourable played many parts." How could a man who had several occupations, the pulpit, th e roost pl man. It an press, serve each of those parts equally ? and l the ey people, said one man cou ld not serve two ma sters, but it would take a g i an t t o serve th ree . n s a s l , i He knew someth:ng about the pulpit. A man whose vocation was to preach peace on earth, goodwill towards men, had no business in the House of Com mons. There was no peace in the house, and very little goodwill. He said another thing, that the press mostexactin b g y writing for the press could master, and a man who had to earn wasr nh a his livelihood could not do anything else, but must give his undi vided attention to the business. It was impossible for such a man to do his duty to the people and sit in the House of Commons. It was all nonsense for a man to tell them that he should go into Parliamen t and remain an independent man on his daily wages. Ministers could get round a man who had got nothing. It was no reproach to a man to be poor, but the temptations were so great that it was most difficult for a man in Parliament, who was de pendent on his daily wages, to be indepen dent, and more difficult still for him to be ho nest. He did not say that it was impossible, but he should like to see the " perfect monster, which the monster ne'er saw." What did men of business do in Parliament ? Some of them had wives of business, who liked to get on in the world. (Laughter.) A mistress liked to be a lady, a lady a viscountess, a viscountess a countess, and a coun tess liked to be a duchess. That was the way of the world. He explained how some persons of " no particular family," who, when they had been in Parliament for some time, began to swell in their ideas, because of their situation " They forgot the dunghill where they grew, And fancied themselves the Lord knows who! He knew a member of Parliament who had, prior to entering the House, made a successful railroad speculation. That man had got a deal of money, and the other day he (the speaker) was surprised to see that the member he had alluded to had be come a knight. He considered a knight of the lowest order, because their title did not descend after them, but " Hungry fish are caught by dirty baits." And the member had turned round from being a consistent Liberal, and bad become an excessively good Tory. (Shame.) Those were the men of busi ness, and that sort of thing often occurred. He thought be might have been Sir anything they liked, if he had chosen. (Laughter.) But he took an honest pride in being what he was ; trusted by the people, and sent to Parliament by the people. He did not tell them that he bad no am bition. He wished to do good to his countrymen, and that was an honest ambition. If he bad any desire to be made into a baronet, or sent to the House of Commons, to be pitchforked into the Upper House, and take his seat with the bishops and other old ladies—(laughter),—he should feel that he should be pitchforked into a house where he had no business.

In the N. there was a slight increase yesterday, but this morning pressure is decreasing again in that district. The difference of readings between Ardrossan and Rochefort is more than o.4in. Temperature is lower than it was on Saturday. On Saturday night a strong north-east wind blew on our E. coast, amounting to a gale at Yarmouth ; but during yesterday the wind was generally moderate from the same quarter, but was strong in the Channel. This morning light winds from N. to N.W. are reported from the E. coast: else where they easterly, and strongest on ths Trench coast. The weather is generally cloudy, with mist chiefly on the S. and E. coasts The annual Colstin Festival took place at Bristol on Friday, and was observed as a general holiday.

The Paris police have determined to adopt a system of indicators with the cabs—a sort of maclane which will show the distance accomplished, and the proper fare to be paid. It is said that it will be impossible for the cabmen to tamper with those regulators. M. Paulin, the son of a man who made a fortune by the illustration (the French Illustrated News, of which be was the founder), committed suicide on Thursday, at his residence, No. 3, flue Grange Bateliere. After starting in life with an income of upwards of £3,000 a year, he ruined himself by gambling at the Bourse and the German gaming tables. At Homburg and Baden-Baden he fre quently played the maximum and broke the bank. Ho was often heard to say that, when he was thoroughly "cleaned out," he would kill himself. Ho fulfilled the threat by enveloping Lis head in linen soakccl A e49:lp9us qus. Mktci chlQlacrilat MR. GLADSTONE IN LANCASHIRE. Apropos of the allegations that the " screw" was being applied on his behalf, Mr. Gladstone spoke on Satur day on open voting as compared with the ballot. "The legitimate use of influence," said he, "of station, by pure persuasion and without penal conse quences, is a very natural use ; but when those that are in high station and those that are possessed of property combine together and issue circulars in which they call upon all their men to place themselves in a band for the purpose of using that influence, then, gentlemen, we require no scholar or pedant to translate this into plain English —we know perfectly well what it means —it means coercion ; and we have seen the conse quences of that 'coercion in the municipal election at Blackburn; and now the mayor of that town is obliged to provide for its peace during the par- liarnentary election by calling in the military power. For my part, gentlemen, I have always desired, and with it hoped, that we might continue, through the good sense of the community, and through the respect of the different classes, if it can be (lone with freedom, to exercise the practice of open voting. I don't wish to resort to secret voting; I hope we may still be able to exercise the franchise in peace openly ; but this I say in the presence of you all— if we are to have this-combination of masters and millowners and managers, on the Conservative side, for the purpose of exercising a syste matic and organised influence to prevent freedom of elec tion—that if these measures are taken, and are to be fol lowed up by such proceedings as those at Blackburn, where operatives of Liberal sentiments, and even their wives and daughters, have been turned out of employment and deprived of the means of livelihood on account of their Liberal opinions —then I say, at whatever hazard and cost we shall be compelled to secure freedom of election. And if the day comes when the question reaches the point—l trust it may not come—when it reaches the point that it can only be bysecrecy of voting, it will not be you who have brought that about, but it will have have been brought about by our so-called Conservative oppo nents, who, wanting the principles that should lead them to respect the freedom of their neighbour just as much as they value their own, will have done in this case the very thing they have done in a hundred of other cases, namely, by violence and folly precipitated the very result which it had been their object, their heart's desire, to obviate and defeat." He had a brush with Mr. Adderley, who had claimed for the Conservative party that it had prevented revolution. " Mr. Adderley says that to deter mine to which of these parties you owe the most would be much the same as if a man-were to strike a balance of obligations between the leg which he put forward in walking and the one on which the centre of gravity rested. "Mr. Adderley," said Mr. Gladstone,"is of opinion that each 1 human being—and the human being was once defined by the logicians as a two-legged animal without feathers--he is of opinion that each human being is endowed with two legs, one of which he puts forward in walking and the other which he always keeps behind, and that these two legs are the representatives of the two political parties, after the manner of what is called the goose-step, or after the manner of another illustration which I well recollect. I don't know whether any of you are acquainted with the song—it is not fashionable at the present moment— which I think is called ' The Cork Leg ;' but for the benefit of those who are not acquainted with it I will remind you that the narrative and moral of the song turn upon this—that a man having but one natural leg remaining provides himself with a leg of cork, and when the leg of cork is attached it becomes so intolerably active it is continually running away with him, and the natural leg in vain does what it can to get him down to a moderate pace. That is Mr. Adderley's view of the relation of the two parties." Mr. Gladstone spoke very strongly against putting the Queen in the front of the battle. " There is 'eg," he said, "by which a Government can more effectually compro mise the highest public interests than by ceasing to maintain Ministerial responsibility, and there is no greater breach of duty that a Minister can commit than to forget the allegiance he owes to the Crown, in reference to maintaining what is in effect one of the most essential principles of the Constitution, namely, that the Crown shall be shielded from personal responsi bility, so that the Queen may not have to answer for the measures of a bad Administration. The practice of tendering to the Queen not one advice, but two, and leaving it to the Queen to choose between them, and then coming down to Parliament and informing Parliament that the Government have submitted these two alterna tives to her Majesty, and that her Majesty has been pleased to choose one of them, is a serious Conservative innovation. The man who does that proves himself by doing it to be totally unfit to direct for an hour the affairs of this country; because, instead of making himself responsible for what is done, and standing, as it is his duty to stand, like a wall of adamant between the people and the sovereign, he places the sovereign in the front, he shelters himself behind her august personalty, and if the result is favourable he is to take the benefit; if the result is odious, he is always able .to say Yes, it is true, but we tendered also the other advice, which, if it had been accepted, would have been pros- nerous.' " Both at this meeting and at Wavertree Mr. Gladstone complained that the Ministry had no policy. At Waver tree he exclaimed : " I say the Government have no policy. They ought to have ; it is their duty to have. If they have not got a policy, they ought not to be a Government ; and I trust that whoever may constitute the new Parliament, the first day when that Parliament will meet will bring to the test the question whether a set of men possessed of office are to continue to possess office, with its authority and power, and to fail in its first duty— namely, in having principles and plans of their own, and fairly laying them before the country as the plans which they, on the part of the Crown, think to be required by the public interest." Mr. Gladstone forthwith proceeded to show that he had a policy. He answered seriatim the questions put to him by the Morning Herald. The first was, "What is to bo done w;th the mor ej? Mr. Gladstone does not say." To this the Liberal leader re p • lied • " What I have stated is this, and every man with a grain of sense inhis head knows perfectly, but it does not suit certain parties to see it—l said this, that the men who must determine that must know the social and civil wants of Ireland, and where they most stand in need of being met and replenished by the application of new funds ; they must be men in command of these means of reformation and all the agencies in the State, which it eerfectly :possible for th. Opposition to possess, but which, on the contrary, every Government must possess. We have said, and said it a hundred times, but it does not signify if I had said it a million of times it would not be a bit more effectual with people determined not to hear it—we have said that it is the business and duty of the State to wind up, on the principles of strict equality, and irrespective of even the tender considerations for all personal interests, all affairs both of the Church in Ireland and of the claims of other religious bodies about to be considered in Ireland, and, having done that, to apply the residue to those purposes which shall be found to be most for the interests of the people of Ireland—not to the endowment of any church, not to the support of any clergy, not to the teaching, in a divided country, of any religious community." To the second question, " What is to be done with the churches themselves, the church buildings?" Mr. Gladstone said : " My opinion is that we should do wisely, in the application of our abstract principles, to have a due regard to existing circumstances, and not merely to the logical faculty, but to the feelings of mankind. These churches in Ireland, viewed in the abstract, are national property, but, viewed in the concrete, they are buildings which have been solemnly set apart . for the worship of Almighty God, in the form and according to the laws of a particular religious communion ; and in my opinion it would be the reverse of wisdom to attempt to remove the control of those churches from the religious bodyfor whose use they were built. The same thing applies in the main to the parsonages and the immediate appendages of these parsonages. The third question is `What distinction is to be drawn between the public and private gifts and the ancient and modern endowments?" Mr. Gladstone said that it appeared to him and to his party that private endowments ought to be considered as gifts, not to the State, but to the !particular religious persuasion for whose purposes they had been given. The fourth question, " What is to be the limit or organisation for the Protestant Church in Ireland and what its relation to the Church in England ?" Mr. (lad stone thought was a rather stiff one. Whatever religious order or organisation they, in the conscious use of their own private rights, think fit to establish, we ought to recognise their equality with us as citizens, and to extend to them the common protection of the law. In answer to the fifth question, " What is to be the status of the clergy and their government in the intermediate, while existing life interests are still extant?" Mr. Gladstone said that the status of the clergy would continue the same as it is now, until the time when it shall be altered." In concluding this speech, Mr. Gladstone said : " Our ambition, gentlemen—the a mbition of my noble friend, of myself—is to be your organs for that work (of doing justice to Ireland). For that purpose my friend Mr. Grenfell has sacrificed one of the most tranquil seats that the House of Commons could have found for him. For that purpose I have deliberately refused a seat, sheltered and easy of access, in the representative chamber of this country at this great crisis of our affairs. Had I been a year ago a member for some place with 500 voters, per haps I e.hould have done wisely to continue there. But destiny, or Providence, had not so willed it, and, as repre sentative of the great community of South Lancashire, which in so many respects has been for England the standard-bearer in the path of progress, I felt, having here ardent and zealous friends ready to fight the battle to the last with a masculine determination, that for me to turn my back upon you and upon them would be nothing less than treachery and baseness. And from your judgment, from your free intelligence, I ask a verdict upon this question, engaged as we are—my friend, with whom I am identified, and I—in a cause in which it would be noble even to fail.

The Woman's Kingdom. By the author of "J° l3/1 Halifax." Three Vols. Hurst and Blackett. This work should have been dedicated to 1 I r ; John Stuart Mill and his colleagues and disciples The advocates for the rights of women who 5 1 now expending so much superfluous zeal, and wasting so much unnecessary eloquence in an e n ' deavour to obtain for their fair countrywom en political rights and privileges to which they ha le rarely aspired, will do well to learn from one who is eminently qualified to be the spokeswoman of he r sex, what is the real ambition of an English women and what is the kingdom over which she seeks to rule. In the stories of two sisters, Edna and Letty Ken' derdine, we have a picture of life and its lesson!' such as the author of " John Halifax" 13 so well skilled to portr a y. I n th e earlier chapters of the tale we find the two sisters taking 5 little respite from the laborious occupation of school-keeping, and seeking health by the sea shore. Letty is somewhat of an i nva lid, a nd 15 tenderly nursed by Edna, who takes pleasure in sacrificing herself to her spoiled, capricious sister. Letty is a beauty, and is accustomed to continual admiration. Dr. William Stedman, a poor bard working physician struggling for practice and post: tion, has come to the same retreat with his invalid artist brother Julius. The two brothers and t he two sisters meet, but we shall not pursue the detail° of the story, which is worked out in the natur al ' attractive manner with which the readers of "J° ll3 Halifax" are familiar. The vain and frivolou s Letty abandoning the life of happiness With ° her reach, !gratifies her ambition at the ex" pease of her heart, or rather of the hearts of those who love her, and finds herself a dethroned Qu eer ' and the kingdom, over which she might hav e reigned in triumph, a desolate ruin. It is other wise with the humble-minded, true-hearted Dins* Years elapse, and cruel vicissitudes occur, but We find Edna radiant in happiness in the home of her choice, with sons " risin g u p t o ca ll h er bl esse d, her husband also praising her." The character n . Julius Stedman is somewhat extravagant, but h l5 provocation is certainly great. The handsome, Pa s ' sionate artist, and the stout and stately ' s ' r. Vanderdecken present as great a contrast as enan well be imagined. A great variety of persons do not figure in this tale—the inte re st i s conc entrate d upon the few principal characte r s, a n d th e y are vividlyportrayed.

The especial attraction of the work, lo vr.. ever, is the vivid example which it affords us of. t he value of a happy home—the Woman's Kingdom " There woman reigns—the mother, daughter, wife Strews with fresh flowers the narrow way of life. In the clear heaven of her delightful eye An angel guard of loves and graces lie, Around her knees domestic duties meet, And fireside pleasures gambol at her feet."

The business of the High Court of Admira lt y having largely increased since the passing of ti l° Act extending its jurisdiction, and taking away t he exclusive privileges of the advocates and proctors, the want of some book especially treating of the jar ls. diction and practice of that court has been genera ll y recognised by the profession. The authors of this present work have endeavoured to supply that d es ciency, and, to judge from its very co m prehea oB o character, they appear to have carried out their task' 1 the most complete and satisfactory manner possi b , le e : Ten chapters are devoted to an expl ana tion of of jurisdiction jurisdiction of the Court, and sixtee n to a review j ' a , its practice, which include a sketch of the proce e ings on appeal to the Privy Council, and nutneros,; forms of pleadings and bills of costs. The appet uil e , is very elaborate, and stored with facts and fl ee t° dents which are likely to prove invaluable alik e er the legal student and to the habitual practit o in the High Court of Admiralty.
