The wizard to his work again may be truly affirmed of Mr. GLADSTONE, and yesterday saw him start with renewed energy to proceed on his path, but it cannot be said that the affair of last night redounded to the credit of the Opposition. Violent language was used, and altogether the scene in the House reminded one more of transatlantic doings than of the ordinarily correct and courteous Commons of England. It is the infusion of party spirit into the debate which has rendered it so acri monious, and for this Mr. GLADSTONE is, of course, responsible. A better proof could not have been afforded of the real meaning of this attack on the Government than that which was given by the excitement that took place when the real business of the House was agreed to• Far better, indeed, would it have been if the dis cussion had terminated earlier, and the reputation of some crotchetty individuals would not have suf fered so much ; but it is always the case when so much bitterness and disappointment are felt that these stormy scenes arise, and if put off or arrested one night they startle and surprise us on anotner occasion. Mr. AYTOUN was the bete noir last night, and on all sides he was implored to withdraw his motion, but to no purpose. This resolution was in, deed an ill-timed one, and suggested that after the disestablishment of the Irish Church had taken place, the grant to Maynooth and the Regium Do nuna should be discontinued, and that no part of the secularised funds, or any State funds, should be applied to the endowment or furtherance of the Roman Catholic religion in Ireland, or to the esta blishment or maintenance of Roman Catholic schools and colleges. No wonder so extreme a proposal called forth animadversion. In all this we have another instance of the extreme disunion of the Liberal party, their ranks are never serried, and they cannot, or will not, fellow their leader. Mr. GLADSTONE puts a climax to the confusion by declaring that a Resolution like this was not the thing, because it pledged the House to opinions before the time to which practical effect could not he given, but it seems to us that the very same criticism might be applied to the right hon. gentleman's own observa tions. It might have been supposed that the Op position would have been satisfied with the course pursued by the Government in allowing the second and third Resolutions to pass without discussion or division, but the result proved it to be far other wise. After Mr. AYTOUN'S Resolution had been settled a new confusion arose. Mr. AYRTON led an attack ou the Ministry, in which he spoke with in dignation, and was evidently disappointed that the Minister had not taken part in the discussion. Mr. DISRAELI retorted on this with natural warmth, and very truly said that there had been a " quarrel for the plunder" among gentlemen opposite. The very force of this observation struck consternation among the faction, and was resented in many ways afterwards. Mr. DISRAELI said very truly that what had passed showed that those who introduced the Resolutions had only introduced into the coun try the elements of confusion. Mr. GRIFFITH also called attention to the very uncertain policy Mr. GLAD STONE had introduced, and said that his suppprters outside the House when they read the debate to-day would feel very awkward. Mr. BRIGHT very unfairly tried to put the fault of the Opposition on the Go vernment, and said that if Mr. DISRAELI'S influ ence had been equal to Mr. GLADSTONE'S the reso lutions would have been refuted long before. This was, however, an absurd statement, when Mr. GLADSTONE'S authority could not prevent Mr. ATTOUN'S Resolution from being pressed to a divi sion. Mr. BRIGHT subsequently spoke in a very unbecoming manner, and spoke of Mr. DISRAELI'S version of his interv i ew s w ith the QUEEN as most unsatisfactory, declaring he spoke in language at once " pompous and servile," and even went so far as to maintain that a Minister who would deceive his Sovereign was as bad as the conspirators who wished to overthrow her. Loud cries of " Oh !" greeted this extraordinary language, but it must have surprised the House when Mr. GLADSTONE defended Mr. BRIGHT, and talked of the hon. member for Birmingham re cording his " fair and manly vote with the spirit of an Englishman." Mr. DISRAELI made a very appropriate answer to the remarks of Mr. BRIGHT, declaring that what be had said was in the memory of gentlemen, and " fortunately there were gentle men on both sides of the House." The remark about party acrimony was a very fair definition of the style of Mr. BRIGHT'S oratory, and the feeling of the House was evidently entirely with the right hon. gentleman, and against his assailant. He said that Mr. BRIGHT said he made no charges against him, and then preferred insinuations which, if he believed to be true, he ought at once to bring forth boldly as direct charges against him. "I defy the hon. member for Birmingham, notwithstanding his stale invectives, to come down to this House and substantiate any charge of the kind which he has presumed only to insinuate. Let him prefer these charges. I will meet him, and I will appeal 'co the verdict even of gentlemen who sit on the same side of the House as himself." It is indeed unfortunate that the Opposition should have suffered itself to be betrayed into such un seemly language, and we fear, by this time, that Mr. GL.ADSToNE must be as much afraid of his new ally the member for Birmingham as he admires 'his spirit and reveres his wisdom. If he does not take care, he will lead him into trouble before he has done, and he bad certainly better drop the part of his apologist with all convenient expedition, as it is what the country generally thinks to be a waste of precious time night after night, because they see no real progress is made. A more factious spirit has never yet been introduced into the House of Commons than that which Mr. GLADSTONE and Mir. BRIGHT have contrived to put there now, and if they fa joice in their work they only show how unfit they are for tile high places they long to ascend. We hope, for the sake of the character and dignity of our great representative assembly, that a stop will be put to scenes like that of yesterday, and the sooner the general opinion of the House decl Lres against their repetition the better will it be for all concerned, and the more desirable for the proper conduct of public affairs. We shall be likely, it seems, before many months are over to have the Metropolitan Gas Supply placed on a more satisfactory footing. It has long been one of those questions which were periodically THE SITN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 8, 1868. discussed without much good being effected ; and, in fact, gas is so much a matter of necessity to the Londoner that he is content to pay for it, however exorbitant the demand, in the same way that he pays a rent three times as high as his country neighbour. By some extraordinary oversight, or apathy on the part of the public, the gas companies were allowed to obtain a wholesale monopoly by the Gas Act of 1860, and since then there has not only been the inevitable difficulty attending any re form to be got over, but the added obstacle of a compact and united body of vested interests who have nine points of the law in their favour. In May sunshine we can all afford to regard the gas ques tion with some indifference, but when the long nights of winter and the inevitable November fogs return the questions of how much or how little light, and of the price per 1,000 cubic feet, will re sume their old imprtance. The illuminating power of the gas now generally supplied to the metropolis is not, we are told, equal to that of many provin cial towns, while the price is unquestionably higher. This is the more unfair, as the gas companies can obtain a much higher price, and readi©r sale for their coke in London than in the country. We hope, therefore, that those who have interested themselves in the matter will not abandon their efforts, since the gas companies, although prepared to mak e certain concessions, are evidently not inclined to come down to the standard which com petent authorities declare would give them ample remuneration. Yesterday the Select Committee of the House of Commons, on the gas bills affecting the metropolis, met again, when great interest was shown in the proceedings, and the large room was crowded. Mr. DAvisoN stated that the Chartered Gas Company were prepared to accept the terms requires by the Committee in their six resolutions of last Session. The Chartered Gas Company are preparing to erect works at Barking, which will take eighteen months to complete, and which .will give them a consider able accession of manufacturing power. At pre sent, thanks to the arrangement between the companies, the Chartered Gas Company can only supply a certain limited district. The two other companies which supply the city asked for some modifications on certain points. They ask, instead of starting with gas at 3s. 9d. at the com mencement of 1870, as proposed by the Chartered Gas, that the determination of the price shall be left in the hands of the revising commissioners, to guard against the risk of starting with too low a price and going back to a higher. Further, they ask for a 5 per cent. reserve fund to meet accidents, and for the continuance of the power to pay back dividends. This is not very promising, and augurs ill for the grand reforms we heard of some time since. However, the committee, without absolutely giving a decision, are determined not to allow the public to obtain less favourable terms than those which they recommended last year; and, accordingly, after the arguments by the several counsel had been heard, including those by Mr. O'MALLEY, the counsel for the Corporation, they retired for a brief deliberation. On their re turn they stated their belief that some terms might be come to between the Corporation and the Char tered Gas Company, and therefore they were willing to give them time to consider their terms. The other companies, if they desired to come in at all, must do so in accordance with the resolution, which provided that the terms of supply must be not less favour able than those recommended by the committee of last year. As for the reserve or insurance fund they regard it as an open question, to be considered hereafter. After some little discussion the com mittee adjourned, leaving the principal agents time to decide upon their various points of difference. The gas companies already in existence could of organisation they have r tl y le . U n fortunately, they have ei r c ourse supply the gas if they would cheaper than any new company, a t own plant, and material, and way, allowedand ead tt to have too much h bee n m atters dictate their own terms so completely to the con- Lumer, that it will, we fear, be difficult to bring them down to a fair and reasonable estimate. The Chartered Gas Company seems to be the most in clined to meet the reformers half-way, and the counsel for the Corporation intimated that if that company would leave the whole question in the hands of the committee, the Corporation would do the same. Under the proposed system of a revision or arbitration commission and a Government in spector there will be a much greater chezk on the companies under the new system than there has bees heretofore, and we hope that due vigilance will be exercised to keep the quality of the gas up to the standard, and the price down to a reasonable rate.

The Senate Court agreed to-day to adjourn until Monday, and to take the final vote on the impeach ment of the President on Tuesday next. speech. lie urged the Senate to remember the courage and loyalty of Mr. John son during tLe rebellion. Mr. Thaddeus Stevens argued that Mr. Johnson was serving out the unexpired term of President Lincoln's appointment, and was guilty of misprision and perjury in not executing the laws of Congress. It was unnecessary to prove the intention of Mr. Johnson to violate the Teuure-of-Olfice law ; the proof of actual violation of the law was sufficient. This offspring of assassination had violated the laws and defied Congress. The Senators, who voted for the Tenure Law and the reinstatement of Mr. Stanton, could not stultify themselves by acquitting Mr Johnson. Mr. Williams delivered a long argument, based upon grounds similar to those advanced by Mr' Boutwell. Mr. Evarts, for the defence, then commenced hi argument. He claimed that the Senate was a Court governed by laws, otherwise it was an altar of sacri fice to partisan hatred. lie exhorted Senators to cast aside partisan feeling, and to remember the sanctity of their oaths. Mr. Sumner proposed an amendment to the rules, providing that a majority shall determine the final judgment after two-thirds shall have decided the question of conviction or acquittal. Bills to admit Louisiana, Arkansas, North and South Carolina, have been introduced in the House of Representatives. It has been officially announced that the new Constitution has been adopted by North Carolina and Louisiana. A resolution has been introduced in the house asking the President to take measures to protect American fishermen in Canadian waters. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURSDAY, MaY!: l 7. A good deal of uneasiness is felt to-day about the Tunisian quarrel. Of course the Bey of Tunis is a very contemptible opponent, and a couple of frigateswould soon bring him to his senses, and these, it is rumoured, have actually been despatched. But there is a rumour to the effect that the Bey is not alone, and that he is supported by England and Italy, or by one of them. I think I can answer for the first. Lord Stanley, who, so our papers tell us, has just told the unfortunate Mexican bondholders in England that he can do nothing for their, is not likely to do much for the holders of Tunisian bonds, of whom probably there are not 100 on your side of the Channel. As to Italy, she will scarcely seriously oppose France in the matter. Nevertheless, the possibility of a fresh dispute between those two Powers is not pleasant. Perhaps it will turn out that neither England nor Italy has anything to do with:the matter. In the meanwhile, the semi-official journals can give us nothing but contradictory rumours, and the 21/oniteur is altogether silent. The Etendard gives its rival semi-official contemporary the Constitutionnel an advertisement gratis, by announcing that there is some talk of an article in the last-mentioned paper which would be " a very studied reply to the objec tions which the propositions of the Gov ernment with respect to the war budget excite in certain minds." This announce ment seems to confirm the rumour which is current to-day to the effect that the Emperor will not refer to foreign politics in his speech at Orleans on Sunday. In that case it would seem as if Marshal Niel had completely triumphed over M. Rouher. Prince Metternich's visit to Vienna is giving rise to endless conjectures. I see that the Paris correspondent of the Independance Beige fills a whole column with re peating the various theories that this event has excited. As they are very different, it is needless to say that my colleague mentions them " under all reserves." There is no doubt that the Austrian Ambassador has gone to his brother's wedding ; it is also possible that it may have been thought desirable by Baron von Beust to have an interview with the Prince, and to tell him verbally that there is absolutely no possi bility of Austria joining France in a war against Prussia. The Paris shopkeepers hope that the Prince is gone to arrange for the visit of the Emperor and Empress of Austria to this city; but I fear they will prove mistaken. To-day there seems no chance of a return visit to that which our Emperor and Empress made at Salzburg last year. The debate in the Senate on the new Press Law has ex cited so little interest that I have not thought it worth my while to continue the summary which I gave of the first day's speeches. Really your debates almost attract more attention than our own, and there is a good deal of speculation as to the result of your mystery-man's leger demain. I must, however, just refer to the Viscount La Garroniere's speech. This senator, as your readers will remember, has in former times done the Empe ror good service by writing pamphlets. Yesterday he made a long speech in favour of the Press Law. His arguments were somewhat contradictory : he first at tempted to prove that the press did not possess its former power, and then that it was of great importance that it should be free, in order that the Emperor might in these days of excessive armaments have the moral support of his sub jects. He said that the Empire was neither revolution nor reaction ; it was a fusion of all the social elements, and that therefore its mission was progress in instruction, in politics, in industry, in economic reforms ; progress everywhere. He was so interrupted in the course of his speech by the senators, who wanted to make out that he wished to deprive them of their right of reconsidering the bill, that he threatened to sit down, and the President was compelled to make constant appeals in his behalf. I find that there were more than two dozen of these inter ruptions, and the President's appeals for silence were so little heeded that he had at last to ask the speaker to take no notice of them. M. Troplong is not strong enough for his post. That much-talked-of event, the Prince Imperial's first communion, came off this morning at 9.30 in the Chapel of the Tuileries. At the desire of the Empress there was no pomp, and only the members of the Imperial Family and of the household were present. Baskets of flowers were placed on both sides of the altar, and vases of flowers upon the altar itself. The Imperial tribune and the galleries were covered with crimson velvet embroi dered with gold. In the middle of the quasi quire was placed a prie-dieu chair of crimson velvet, and before it and beneath a great gold chandelier was the young communicant's taper, bearing his arms and the legend in Gothic characters " 7 Mai 1868." On the right and the left of the Prince's chair were stools for his governor and his spiritual director. The female mem bers of the Imperial Family sat on chairs to the right of the Emperor, and to the left of the Empress were Ma rshal Fleury and other great functionaries. The Prince wore a white waistcoat and trousers and black coat, and bore on his arm the White armlet which communicants generally wear. The Emperor was in a frock coat, the Empress in a pearl grey ' dress. The Archbishop of Paris officiated. At the offer tory he invited the Prince to kiss the pastoral ring, and, this done, his Imperial Highness returned to his place. After a Benedictus, by Auber, had been sung, the Prince approached the altar and knelt. Prince Joachim Murat and General Frossard held the napkin on the right, and Mgr. Adras and the Abbd Mullois on the left, and the Archbishop then gave the wafer to the neophyte. He • then retired and knelt upon his prie-dieu chair. The c ry short, but touching address. This Archbishop made a v afternoo n, at vespers, takes place the renewal of the baptismal and confirmation vows. To-morrow a young son of Dr. Conneau, the Prince's most intimate friend, makes his first, communion. There was a terrible tragedy this morning at one of the hotels. A valet had for some time persecuted with his addresses a female fellow-servant. She at last, in order to get rid of his importunity, told her master. The master warned the valet that if he persisted in his unwelcome suit he would be dismissed. Thereupon the valet drew a pistol, shot his master through the head, and then himself through the heart. Death was in both cases instan taneous. The threatened crisis in the Zollverein Parliament is adjourned. The address to the King of Prussia in behalf of the unification of Germany has been lost, but only by 36 votes-150 voting for it, and 186 voting, not against it, but simply for passing to the order of the day. Those who opposed the address did so not because they dis approved the principle set forth in it, but because they thought it inexpedient to raise such an important political question in an assembly convened for fiscal purposes. It was remarked by one of the speakers who opposed the address, that in the event of danger from without, South Germany would be found fighting by the side of North Germany, but the former could not abandon the position in which it bad been placed by the treaties of 1866. It is impossible to overrate the importance of this debate. It shews that Germ - any, with the exception of Austria, is already thoroughly homogeneous, and though there may still be a score or two of reigning sovereigns, virtually it is but one country, and Prussia is at its head. This matter becomes more important when we learn that Prussia is endeavouringto bring about friendly relations with Austria, and has already addressed that country with respect to the Danish question, in the hope that the sth article of the Treaty of Prague may not stand in the way of a rapproche ment. It is therefore quite possible that before long we may see Austria readmitted into the German Confedera tion, or at least permitted to send representatives to the Customs Parliament. This growing unification is most satisfactory, inasmuch as it must convince Napoleon of the hopelessness of making war against Prussia. Not only will he have no!allies in such an undertaking, but the allies that he counted upon will fight against him. If war is impossible it will be for the French people to insist that the war expenditure shall cease. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Herald says there are three questions on which France and Prussia are at issue : the Schleswig business, the question of the Rhine fortresses, and the question of the Customs Parlia ment. The pretension of the French semi-inspired prints to dictate to that assembly what it shall and what it shall not discuss can have only one effect in Germany, and Count Bismarck has really nothing to do but let matters take their course. His German friends and French ene mies are doing their best to complete the work which he so successfully commenced two years ago. The Ex-King. of Hanover will rue the day V.at be ever meddled with journalism. The Situation cost him an enormous sum, though its circulation was under 100 a day. Oneof the editorsof that defunct journal isnowabout to cite his ex-Majesty before the Paris law courts, on the ground that he (the plaintiff) has not been sufficiently re munerated for his services. The Morning Post's Paris correspondent says that public opionion in that city is taking a decided shape in favour of peace ; not an armed peace, but a peace based on true peace principles, peace interests, and peace economy. The newspapers are daily advocating disarming ; the com mittee on the Budget in the French Chambers is contend ing against the demands made by the Ministers of War and Marine ; the people of the provinces, especially the agricultural districts, continue to protest against the military demands of the Army Bill, although they have of course no means of resisting its accomplished provisions. The public mind is impressed with the perils of large arma ments, which, so far from ensuring peace, as the Imperial Government would have Frenchmen believe, are now con sidered as a permanent danger as well as a ruinous demand on the wealth of the nation. ARRIVAL OF THE SCOTIA. The Royal Mail steamship Scotia, from New York on the 29th ult., arrived at Queenstown at 7.30 a.m. to-day, May 8, with 206 cabin passen gers and $231,500 in specie. She landed 109 sacks of mails and 36 passengers, and proceeded imme diately for Liverpool. All well. NEW YORK, via QUEENSTOWN, April 29 (Morning.) At the Impeachment Trial on Monday, Mr. Groesbeck for the defence made a long speech, in which he claimed that the Senate was a court governed as such by principles of law. Mr. Stan ton's case was not within the Tenure-of-Office Law, he having been appointed during Mr. Lincoln's first term of office, and been only commissioned to hold the office during the pleasure of the President. It sN'ould not therefore be a crime for Mr. Johnson to act under an interpretation sanctioned by the entire Cabinet and the legal advisers. The President was not bound, as the Managers claimed, to enforce the laws, regardless of his own opinion as to their constitutionality. If Mr. John son honestly believed the Tenure Law unconsti tutional, be would violate his oath of office by executing it. Mr. Johnson was justified in seeking a decision of the Courts, 3nd had proved the honesty of his purpose by offering the War-office to Generals Grant and Sherman, and Major-General Thomas, soldiers of admitted loyalty. Mr. Groesbeck, re ferring to the President's speeches, alluded to the provocation given to Mr. Johnson, and referred the Senate to the constitutional provision denying the right of Congress to abridge the freedom ,of CANADA. The Canadian Parliament has adopted an address of indignation and of sympathy with the Queen at the attempted murder of the Duke of Edinburgh. The House of Commons has passed a bill pro viding for the family of the late Mr. M'Gee. Two detectives have testified to overhearing Whelan admit the murder of Mr. M'Gee to alleged accomplices in jail. HUNGARY. BUDA, May 4. The Emperor Francis Joseph, previous to his departure for Vienna, despatched his first Aide-de- Camp, Count Bellegarde, to the British Ambasa dor, Lord Bloomfield, with instructions to congra tulate, i❑ the name of the Emperor, the British Government on the decided success which the Eng lish troops have achieved in Abyssinia. General Gablenz,Commander-in-Chief of Croatia, has just been raised to the rank of General of Cavalry, and is designated to assume the supreme military command in Hungary, a union of the two posts in one hand being contemplated. PESTII, May 8. At yesterday's sitting of the Lower House of the Hungarian Diet, the Public Prosecutor applied for permission to institute a press prosecution against the Roumanian editor, Deputy Roman, on account of an article which he stated to be directed against the integrity of Hungary. The treaty of commerce with the Zollverein and the navigation treaty with England will shortly be laid before the house. THE CAPE MAIL. PLYMOUTH, May 8. Ths Union Company's steamer Celt, with the above mails, has arrived here. She brings 69 pas sengers. Her mails were forwarded from here by the 10.25 a.m. train. The Celt experienced strong head winds from lat. 4N. to Ashant. Her dates are :--Natal, 29th March ; Cape Town, 4th April ; St. Helena, 12th Apt ; Ascension, 15th ; and Madeira, Ist May. A large party in Orange Free State had protested against the Home and Colonial Government as suming the protectorate of the Basuto territory. The Free State Volksraad, after three days debate, had decided to decline negotiations with Governor Wodehouse, and declared that her Majesty's Government must have acted as it is doing in this matter only from " incorrect information State had been violated at and erroneous statement." The B oers also believe their independence as a the instigation of the Emperor of France. Sir Walter Currie, w ith the mounted police , crossed the Orange River on the 24th of March, with orders for to clear out the Basuto Land as far as the Sir George Grey line. lie was to consider all stock found within that line as Basuto property, and to warn all Englishmen, if taken armed against the Basutos, that they would be dealt with as traitors. 200,000 rounds of ammuni tion had been sent up, and the military in Graham's Town were preparing to support this step if neces sary.

I ADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— Fistulas, piles, excoriations, and strictures aro speedily re lieved and ultimately removed by applying this Ointment, after fomentation with warm water. Persons suffering from these scourges of the human frame should arrest their progress at once, for it is both insidious and rapid. Fis tulas, if allowed to go on unchecked, not only weaken the nervous 6ystein, but destroy life. The sooner thesJ ines timable remedies are used the more certain is success ; yet none need despair, hopeless cases have often yielded, and the sufferer has been saved a painful death. In excoria tions a few applications of this healing Ointment effect a cure, while the pills, conjointly used, arc especially bene ficial in relaxing and removing strictures, whatever their situation or duration. A PAUPERS DEATH. An inquest has been held at Hackney respecting the death of a man named Charles Savery, who was stated to be 69 years of age. He had been a collector of herbs, but in his old age he became very destitute, and then entered the Hackney workhouse. He was found to be suffering from disease of the heart and from senile imbecility. The doctor had him placed In the imbecile ward, and he was found to be rather troublesome there. He had a habit of leaving his bed at night, and taking the clothes of the other paupers. At times he applied to the doctor for permission to leave the house, but the doctor, knowing him to be ill, refused. He then applied for his discharge to the master, saying that he we.s going to his daughter's house. The master persuaded him to stay in the house until he could go be fore the hoard and obtain an allowance of out-relief. The board gave him 25., a loaf, 2oz. of tea, and half a pound of sugar, and with that provision the,old man left the workhouse. He was very infirm at the time. The same night he was found in the Spread Eagle public•house. He was evidently very ill. Two mea who saw him there carried him to the workhouse gate. After the men had !ling the bell three times, the gatekeeper answered them, and the master was sent for. He was told that the old man was in a dying state, but he refused to admit him, and threatened the men that if they did not take him away they should both be given in charge. The master was called as a witness, and stated that he did all he could to persuade the deceased not to leave the house. He could not readmit him on the same day that be had left the house with money and provisions. The door of the work house was shut in the face of the men who had carried de ceased there. He was laid on the pathway, being unable to stand, and died there in a very short time. The jury returned a .verdict to the following effect : "That the deceased died from disease of the heart from natural causes, and the jurors consider that a discretionary power should be given, and that it be incumbent on the master of the workhouse, in the case of a pauper discharging him self with outdoor relief in a known state of ill-health, and being brought back on the same day or night in a dying or drunken state, either to admit him at once or call in medical aid forthwith." The extraordinary and protracted tumult which pre vailed in the House of Commons after the passing of Mr. Gladstone's resolutions on Thursday night, the frequent scenes of confusion, the number of motions and cross motions, the incessant appeals to the Chairman on points of order, the unusually violent language on both sides, have combined to widen the chasm of party contention' which previously existed, and to make it more and more improbable that the Government and the Opposition can work harmoniously together in clearing off the necessary public business with a view to a speedy dissolution. There was something positively scathing fn Mr. Bright's denun ciation of the Prime Minister, when he charged that right hon. gentleman with being a traitor to his Sovereign and to his country in the course which he had thought proper to pursue in placing the Sovereign in the front o f a great struggle like that on which parties are about to enter. Rarely has such invective been concentrated into a few sentences as in those which closed Mr. Bright's speech, and there can be no question that, coining from such a quarter, aimed at such an eminent man, and delivered with all that power of which the member for Birmingham is master, his observations made a profound impression on the House, and added to the excitement which had pre viously existed. Now that the resolutions are passed, and now that the Commons have adopted an address to the Crown, intim face of the most determined opposition of the Ministry, what will the Government do ? According to the Po3t, Cabinet will be told, on the high authority of Lord Cairns, that without inconsistency or dereliction of duty, OA may advise the Sovereign to give her consent to the in• troduction of a bill of which, nevertheless, every member of that Cabinet totally disapproves. The Post assume( that the object of this is to send the measure up to the Lords, where it is certain to be defeated, and the Government would thus be relieved from any further embarrasments on this question during the rest of the session. But here a grave question arises. The Home Secretary has distinctly stated that he will never be a member of an Administration which assents to the passing of a bill striking at the existence of the Irish Church. If the Cabinet decided to advise the Queen in the way indicated by Lord Cairns, it would be impossible for Mr. Hardy to remain on the Treasury bench. The chances are that the right hon. gentleman would not leave Downing -street singly and unsupported, but that one or two of his colleagues would accompany him. Should the information of our contemporary be correct, a most important point of constitutional usage would be raised. The acts of the Sovereign are conclusively presumed to be the acts of her Ministers, and the latter are directly accountable for those acts to the nation. It is clear, therefore, that Ministers can never counsel their Sove- reign to adopt a course of which in their consciences they disapprove, since by so doing they wo.tld not only betray the trust reposed in them by the Queen, but render themselves accountable to the nation for a course of action which they themselves heartily condemn. It might therefore be argued, a priori, that since the present Administration disapprove of the disestablishment of the Irish Church, they must, when the forthcoming ad. dress to the Crown is presented, advise her Majesty to refuse compliance with its prayer, and thus produce a dead-lock which would leave them no alternative between resignation and immediate dissolution. Already the more eager partisans begin to count the days and hours which must elapse before the final struggle can take place. Should the Crown, on the advice of the Cabinet, return an unfavourable reply to the address, it may safely be anticipated that a most important step will at once be taken by the Commons. The reproaches which Mr. Ayrton, Mr. Horsman, Sir George Grey, and other members addressed to the Prime Minister in the course of the discussion, and the relentless invective of Mr. Bright, who, amid the loudest cheering, not obscurely imputed to Mr. Disraeli some of the gravest offences which the re sponsible adviser of a constitutional monarch can possess shew how grave the present crisis is. The London correspondent of the Independance Beige says that the Queen, following the precedent of 1842 (? 1846), when she consulted the veterans of opposite parties, the Marquis of Lansdowne and the Duke of Wellington, consulted last week Lord Derby and the Barl of Clarendon with respect to the political situation. Of course he r M a j esty h as t h e power to co nsult Privy Councillors w h o d o not h appen to b e h e r Ministers, and sometimes valuable advice may be tendered by states. men who, not being in office, will be less likely to be in fluenced by party considerations. Whether Lord Derby would be sufficiently removed from the strife to see clearly what is going on is doubtful. Moreover, it does not appear from the Court Circular that either noblemen went to Osborne last week, and as this was not a matter in which the . telegraph could be used, and there was n o ti me f or wr itt en com munications, it may fairly be concluded that the story is unfounded.. The foreign papers comment upon the personal preference which the Queen is supposed to have shewn for Mr . . Disraeli. That the P rem i e r is a favourite with the Hen Apparent is a matter of common belief. The following letter appears in the . Post :—" My attention has been called to a paragraph respecting m) daughter, Madlle. Adelina Patti, which appeared in your Paper of May 6, purporting to be copied from the Pax+ Figaro. I beg to say that the statement as to my daughter having • been married is totally untrue.—Your obedien' servant, SALVATOR, PATTI." CRIME IN SCOTLAND.— An abstract of the Scot- - tish criminal returns for 1867 has been published. The total number of offenders against whom charges were pre. ferred was 3,305, of whom 2,510 were convicted, 18 were outlawed, 6 were found to be insane, and 771 were acquitted or discharged. The majority of the offenoek , were committed against property, but without violence ; and in the classification of offences those against the per. son stand next in point of numbers. Although there were 17 persons charged with murder, only 4 were convicted ; of these but one was sentenced to death, and in that case the sentence was commuted to penal servitude. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—EmiIy Johnson, a girl only six years of age, the daughter of parents who reside in Leeds, and a member of the ballet troupe performing in the pantomime " The Fair One with the Golden Locks," now being produced under the management of Mr. John Coleman, at the York Theatre, has been the subject of a frightful accident. The pantomime had advanced to a part where a " demon's dance " is intro. duced by Mr. Royce, one of the effects brought to bear on which is the lime light. The person who had the management of this light had a candle placed neat him at one of the wings at which Miss Johnson was standing. Her feet and body were in graceful motion to the music of the band, when her muslin dress came into contact with the candle in question, at once ignited, and enveloped her in flames. The calamity was witnessed by Mr. Royce from the opposite wing, and he at once rushed to her rescue. He first seized the poor girl and rolled over with her, and then he enveloped her in an old coat which was at hand, and extinguished the flames. This, however, was not done before the child had been frightfully burnt about the arms, leg, back, and other parts of her person. Her chest and face escaped. Surgical assistance was speedily at hand, and the sufferer was re moved to York County Hospital, where she now lies in a critical condition. Mr. Royce himself was also burnt from the ignition Of an article called licopodium, which was on the fr,,nt of his red tight-fittirg dress.

The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise, drove out yesterday afternoon. Her Majesty, accompanied by Princess Beatrice, walked in the grounds this morning. The other members of the Royal Family also went cut. MAGAZINES. D ÜBLIN. -" Sweet Anne Page" is continued, and is full of incidents usual. " Retirement of John Kemble" is a paper well worthy of notice. "MY Queen" commences a pleasing tale that is more lively than those generally met with in this maga zine. " John Haller's Niece" is finished most satis factorily. " The Close of a Great Dramatic Career" is put before us in an appropriate style, and inte rests one greatly in its details. " Haunted Lives" commences an elaborate tale by the author of " Uncle Silas," &c ; its scenes already most ex citing and adventurous in style and character. "The Science of War" is 'a well-written essay that contains some useful advice, and concludes by hop ing that rifle practice will be kept up with spirit. " Edmund Burke" alludes to Mr. Morley's work in some impressive remarks. " Medieval Fictions and their Sources" continue their entertaining in formation. CORNIIILL.--" The Bramleighs, of Bishop's Folly,' is continued at some length, and the story is now becoming more fully developed. " Recollections of Gibson, the Sculptor," is an interesting paper that traces the career of the man. " For half a century he devoted himself, day by day, to his profession—to sculpture, as he understood it—the representation of beauty." " Notes on the National Characteristics of the Scottish Lowlands" is a good sketch. " Charles Dibdin and his Songs" is a welcome article, and the writer says, truly, that he was a man " whose genius deserved something better than to be hidden in the obscurity which we observe to be creeping over his name." " The Manuscript Jour nal of Captain E. Thompson, R.A.," is a paper that " is curious in its details." " Parliament in the Days of Old" contains some strange revelations. LONDON SOCIETY.—This periodical, as usual, con tains a variety of interesting subjects. The first article met with is called 'The Premier Novelist," and will be found to do ample justice to the sub ject. It has been the fashion with men who criti cised the career of this distinguished individual to sneer at the notion of his possessing the real talents for administration, but these cavillers must now hide their diminished heads. The writer of this paper enters with spirit into the chief character istics- of the right hon. gentleman's career, and shows how earnestly he has striven to attain his ob ject. A most animated account is given of the de bates in Parliament during the passing of the Re-, form Bill last session, and we see how, after sis Administrations had tried their hands at a Reform Bi►l for fifteen years, Mr. DISRAELI contrived through Tory shoals and Liberal breakers to bring his craft safely into harbour. Besides the analysis of his political career, we meet with a very interesting resume of Mr. Disraeli's novels, which cannot fail to have attractions for many. Finally, it is said that the " character of Mr. Disraeli's mind is intense, daring, original ; he rejoices is magnificent generalisations, in vast speculative con ceptions." " Fashion at Longehamps" is a sketch that will amuse the devotees of the grand monde. " The Box with the Iron Clamps" begins a tale that promises to be exciting in its narration. "MY First Flirtation" is a dreary tale, which illustrates the folly of practical jokes. Some charming verses are here met with, and some of the illustrations are good, such as " Waiting for the Princess," " Gipsey Eyes," " A Springtide Tale," &c. " The Monday Popular Concerts" contain the sketches of some old iavourities in the musical world, and 44 May is town" shows the impossibility of fashionables en joying the charms of nature.. FRASER, in this pleasant month of May, view everything en noir. From the British army, " 00 account of which such enormous sums are annual! voted, and which is little better than a sham," to the political economy of Englishmen in general, to Mr. Hepworth Dixon's last new book, to Air• Disraeli's Cabinet, everything is out of joint, and Fraser's contributors are now to set it right. Not" withstanding the animation usually to be found in such energetic denunciations of our neighbours , public and private, it must be confessed that this number is somewhat tedious. The articles are most of them too long ; witness the dialogue on " Women's Votes," which numbers fourteen closely printed pages, or the essay on the Reorganisatio n of the Army, about the same length ; while th e attempt at light reading only consists of rambling Endian legends. We must not, however, omit to mention the first part of a life of Sir Philip SY'd" ney, by the late Robert Southey, which, as may b e supposed, is well worth reading. ST. L PAuLs.—The first romance in St. Pad s comes to a conclusion in this number, and the search for "greed," so eagerly pursued, brings more than one of the actors to a violent death. The editor's story of " Phineas Finn" goeson with vigour , and the easy,natural style flows as smoothly through the turmoil of St. Stephen's as shown in Barchestet Powers or Fromley Parsonage. It is evidently approaching a crisis, both politically and romanti cally. " Life Studies" is an amusing social s ketch , while a paper on " Yachting" comes pleasantly ill the midst of the spring sunshine. " New Facts ill the Biography of Raleigh," and " Sybel's History of the French Revolution," are ready for the coo' sideration of more studious readers ; while a well, written essay on anonymous journalism, by a inn ber of the craft, effectually disposes of the " bi te assassin" theory, and puts the whole question in straightforward and sensible light. TINSLEY'S MAGAZINE.—" The Rock Ahead," by Edmund Yates, and " The Adventures of 1 ?!; Brady," by Mr. Russell, proceed with unaba vigour. TILE BROADWAY.—The Broadway is principsi l i e occupied by the story of " Brakspeare," by b author of " Guy Livingstone ;" but there are ar" o des on the Copyright question, on Art Critics, the New York Associated Press, and on Erlo refh all treated with spirit and animation.
