NOT RE OF THE WEEK.

The Queen, accompanied by Prince Leopold
end Princess Beatrice, will leave Windsor Castle
en Friday morning for Osborne. Her
Majesty and Primate Beabrioe on Friday evening
visited the Albert Mensarial Chapel at Windsor
Castle, for the purpose of inspecting Baron
Triquetes statue of the late Prince Consort
The sarcophagus is of oblong shape, adorned with
finely sculptured bee-reliefs. On its top is the
statue of the Priam sculptured from the finest
statuary marble. The most costly marble has
been selected to adorn the chapel, which only
wants Its marble floor to render it complete.
The most important piece of work that Parlia-
ment has now to get over before the Prorogation
lithe Judicature Bill, which has to beremodelled
by the Commons on account of the inclusion of
Scotland and Ireland in the new appellate scheme;
while the Lords will doubtless' have their own
Improvements to make in the amended Bill.
There is little doubt that in their own minds a ma-
jority of the members of the Lower House were
heartily in favour of Mr. Disraeli's suggestion, to
let the Bill stand over for • year. But the
Government insist upon going on with this mea-
sure, which will form the most notable achieve-
ment of the mission ; and for the Houseito refuse
would entail a defeat of Ministers, and con-
sequently a certain dissolution in the autumn.
If, however, the Judicature Bill be passed into
; law to give the Government eomething to point
to as the fruit of the session, it is more than
probable that the reward of the Commons will be
another year of existence, that is to say,that they
will be allowed to live out their legal term. It '
is rather curious that when • measure is being
discussed that is destined to abolish the last
remnant of the appellate jurisdiction of the House
of Laird; Lord Redeedale should bring forward •
proposition for making several of the chief
Judges ta-ollicia Peers, since judicial capacity i
will now he less wootinz in the House than evor
it was. But the noble Lard's proposal was too
partial even with regard to legal life Peers.
Undei the DOW judicial system, there will be two
other Judges on a par with the chief of the three
Common Law Courts at Westminster ; and it
would be obviously unfair to have four or five
English Judges sitting as such in the House of
Lords, and not one Irish or Siooteh one. But
the whole question of life Peers will ere long
have to be dealt with in • more comprehensive
manner ; and, from Earl Granville's remarks on
Friday evening, it may be surmised that the
Government have • scheme in view.

Among the Bills which in all probability will
be thrown over this Ninon is Mr. Stennisld's
Rating Bill and the new Education Bill. It is
scarcely necessary to make much ado about the
latter. Mr. Forster constructed it solely to
appease the Nonconformists. If they do not
care for the amendment of an Act which it is
simply proposed to amend for their sakes, the
necessary labour to carry the Bill will be thrown
away. There has been • gathering of repimen•
tative men frem the agitators for the repeal of
the 25th clause of the Education Bill out of
Parliament, and the prominent members of the
Radical part of the house. The conference was
an Important one, as indicating the action likely
to be taken by the Noneonformist body at the ,
next general election. If the member' of that
body who are in open rebellion with the Liberal
party in power—because, as they say, the educa-
tion of the country has been made over to the
clergy—intend, as they threaten, to run in-
dependent candidates at each election in the.
manner in which they sent Mr. Cox to contest '
Bath, it will undoubtedly materially effect the
prospects of the Liberal party. Mr. Bright at
this important juncture in party history has
broken silence, and made his first speech since
his retirement from active parliamentary duty.
He declared the Education ect of 1870 to be ;
the worst introduced since the Reform en of
1832, but could not understand the object of I
Nonconformists to the revision of that Bill as
proposed, and Was very distinct in his warning
against an impulsive breaking away from the I
Liberal party, and in a very Conservative voice
he reminded the Conference that it was easier i
to smash up than to resters, and they might .
possibly find, when they had shattered the party,
as some of the speakers had threatened to do,
they would be in • worse and weaker position
than they were before." The league was In a j
smashing mood, and astonished Mr. Bright by '
simply passing • resolution to do what they
threatened, although Mr. Bright asserted that
it was impossible, even Ey breaking up be I
Liberal party, to pass such a Bill as the Leaguers
have set their hearts upon.
The Bill of Mr. IFlowr.rd and Mr. Clare Res 1
