THE PRESS.

repeat, is to make them if the Company does
not, and, at the same time, will give no in-
ducement to capitalists to invest their money
in the soil? To the farmer in England a road
running ten miles off would be practically
useless unless some communication between
it and his farm could be opened up. And
what would the trunk roads be in India,
where the distances from the communications
would in most cases be so vast? To travellers
and the people generally such roads would
certainly be a boon, but it is a mistake to
suppose that any number of such roads will
ever supply the want caused by the dissever-
ance of capitalists from all connection with
the soil. Turn the question as you will, there
is but one solution► of it. If the resources of

India are ever to be developed—nay, more, if
our Government is ever to obtain a guarantee
for its permanence, there is but one way of pro.
ceeding, which is to afford facilities to the
native capitalists of India to invest their sur-
plus millions in the purchase and cultivation
of the land. This is the plan propounded by
the great Lord METCALFE, and it is the only
plan that ever will succeed ; for, whatever the
differences of creed or colour, the principles of
human action, and the causes that lead to
national wealth or national poverty, are the
same in every country and in every clime.
London, England, 1857-06-27

Mr. JONES then suggested that an arrangement
should be made for the payment of duty on small
parcels previously to their being sent to India. The
retail trade between England and India wuuld be
greatly increased thereby, as it would put an end to
the pernicious agency system, which subjected the
trader in this country to a deduction of ten and even
fifteen per cent. from the fair price of his goods by
way of commission to the agent.
The CHAIRMAN said the suggestion was deserving
of consideration, but nothing could be done respect-
ing it until a communication had been had with
the Indian Government.

FRENCH ELECTIONS.

INTRIGUERS in London and at Paris are again
at their old mischief of trying to embroil
England with France. Stockjobbing gamblers
are not the only persons mixed up in this
abortive attempt at exciting a demonstration
against the ImpEsial dynasty. Some of the
political subordinates attached to those
ephemeral factions who, in the language of
the present Emperor, " destroyed two con-
" stitutional monarchies and one republic,"
are doing their petit possible to advertise their
own insignificance. Personal vanity, even
more than political design, is at the bottom of
this feeble and futile attempt to raise a new
Fronde. For views of that kind, men, money,
and even opportunities are not at hand.
Resources of all sorts are wanted by those
declaimers, who are equal to agitating third-
rate salons in the neighbourhood of the
Boulevards, but who have not enough of poli-
tical stamina to sway parties, or bring about
events.
These little beings are preparing a signal
retribution for themselves. They are or-
ganising a crisis when they shall he subjected,
not to the guillotine, hut to the grimaces of
every Frenchman and Frenchwoman who loves
the ridiculous, that is of all Paris, excepting

Intelligence from New York to the lith states that
Lord Napier informed the Government that there
was no foundation for the report that New liranada
had ceded an island to England.
The correspondent of the New York Times, on the
other hand, says :

It is untrue that Lord Napier officially denies the ces-
sion of the island in Panama Bay to Great Britain. The
Administration certainly did not interrogate him, nor did
he volunteer a statement upon the subject. No one, how-
ever, in diplomatic or Guveniment circles believes such
cession has been made.

TIIERE are some reforms which are imperfectly
accomplished because they are too late, and
others because they are too early. In the one
case, statesmen are driven into the adoption
of some ill-considered measure by the public
discontent ; in the other, they are betrayed
into the negligent performance of their work
by the public apathy. Nor is this the only
clanger to which such legislation is exposel.

ITALY.

A concordat has been concluded between the King
of Naples and the Pope, restoring to the clergy the
most important privileges relating to the disposition
of ecclesiastical property, abolishing the penal code
against parish priests, annihilating civil marriages
throughout the kingdom, and ordering the civil
authorities to lend every assistance to secure the
execution of sentences passed by ecclesiastical
tribunals.

The Pope continues at Bologna. He has received
several deputations, and has held many councils
upon questions of administrative importance. The
Sardinian Minister, the Chevalier Boncompagin, left
Florence on the 9th for Bologna, where on the 11th
he was received with distinction by the Pope.

THE FOREIGN LEGION.

Mr. ADDERLEY asked the Secretary for the Colonies
whether the Cape Legislature had determined to
diminish their vote of 40,000 i. towards the expense
of locating the German Legion on their frontier by
two-thirds, in proportion to the diminished number
of the legion which had gone out, and diverted,
in consequence, two-thirds of that sum to other
purposes.
Mr. LABOUCHERE said his impression was that no
accounts bad been received of any such change of
purpose as that alluded to on the part of the Colonial
Legislature at the Cape. If, however, ho found the
fact to be otherwise he would apprise the hon. gentle.
man of it.

OLDRIDGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA.-
The LOSS of HAT IL—One of the most annoying proofs of
the thrombi of ruthless time has been most successfully supplied
by OLDRIDGE'S BALM of COLUMBIA, which has been no
less remarkable than important to thousands who have expe-
rienced its powerful effects in encouraging or reproducing a tine
growth of hair. Oldridge's Balm proOtices a beautiful curl, frees
the hair from .curt, and the tint application stops the falling off.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Oat Deutsch Post says that the importance of
the decoration lately conferred on I'rince Vogorides
of Moldavia by the Austrian Government has been
greatly exaggerated ; that no political demonstration
whatever was intended by that act, which had only
an administrative character.

The Vienna Oesterreichieche Correspondenz cf the
15th had a long official article on the subject of cer-
tain defamatory charges recently made against it by
some of the organs of the Belgian and Prussian
press :

An erroneous statement now made by the German
papers is, that the Imperial Cabinet " has complained to
the German Courts of the policy of Prussia in the ques-
tion of the Danubian principalities." Austria and Prussia
go hand in hand in the matter in question, and neither
power has cause to complain either of the impetuosity or
of the want of energy of the other.

RUSSIA.

The Russian Government appears to be display-
ing great activity in its relations with Central Asia.
The Czas of Cracow speaks of three embassies re-
cently sent into Persia and China. One has
been confided to General Prince Melnikoff, , who
has been sent tl Teheran by Prince Bariatinski,
Governor- General of the Caucasian proinces,
to notify his nomination to that post to the Shah
and to keep up relations. The other two are to
China, and these missions acquire an additional
importance when that country has broken off her
relations with other States of Europe. An extra-
ordinary embassy has been confided to Admiral
Fantiatine, who has already arrived at Irkutsk from
St. Petersburg, and is to proceed immediately to
China, to convey to the Emperor promises of assist-
ance from the Russians against the rebels. This
mission will also have for object to regulate matters
connected with the frontiers and the development of
commercial relations.

The baptism of the young Grand Duke Sergius
was performed last week with great Court cere
monies.

The visit to Germany of the Czar is now beyond
all doubt; he will arrive in Hamburg on the 2nd of
July, travelling under the name of Coant Borodiusky,
and accompanied by a suite of 150 persons.

Colonel W. PATTEN said the hon. member seeking
leave of absence was on the first panel of election
committees ; and as six committees would have to ho
struck cn Monday next, leave of absence ought not to
be given, unless the business was really urgent.
" I understand," said the hon. and gallant member,
after the lapse of a few seconds, " that there are
very urgent reasons for the motion. (A laugh.)
The hon. member is going to be married." (Loud
laughter.)
The motion was agreed to amidst renewed laughter.

A DINNER was given to Sir Wm. Jolliffe, Bart., M.P.,
at the Carlton Club on Saturday last, in recognition
of his great services to the Conservative party. Up.
wards of 190 noblemen and gentlemen (chiefly mem•
bers of the two Houses of Parliament) were present,
being the utmost number which the dining room
could accommodate. The chair was occupied by the
Earl of Derby, and the vice-chair by the Bight *Hon.
B. Disraeli, M.P.

ANOTHER LARGE AND INFLUENTIAL MEETING of the
Catholic nobility and gentry was held on Tuesday
afternoon at the Stafford street Club, for the purpose
of considering the course which it is desirable for
their representatives in Parliament to adopt in re-
ference to the Parliamentary Oaths Bill. In the
absence of the Duke of Norfolk, who, as Earl
Marshal, was obliged to be officially present at the
christening of the infant Princess at Buckingham
Palace, the chair was taken by Lord Vain of Harrow-
den, who was supported by the Earl of Fingal], Lord
Edward Howard, M.P., Viscount Campden, Lord
Camoys, Lord Stafford, and Lord Lovat. Among
those present were—tbe Hon. Charles Langdale, the
Hon. T. E. Stonor, the Hon. G. 3lostyn, the Hon.
Philip Stourton, the Hon. Alfred Stourton, Sir
Robert Gerard, Mr. Charles Petre, Mr. H. Beding-
feld, Dr. Bowyer, M.P., The O'Donoglioe, M.P., Mr.
S. E. De Vere, M.P., Mr. L. Waldron, M.P.' and
several other gentlemen of rank and position. Alter
a long and spirited debate, in which Lord Edward
Howard, Mr. Ball, Mr. De Vero, Lord Camoys, Dr.
Bowyer, Mr. Wilberforce, TheO.Donoghoe, Mr.Meore,
Mr. Henchy, Lord Fingall, and Mr. Wegg-Prosser
took part, it was proposed by the Hon. Charles
Langdale, seconded by Mr. E. Ryley, and carried
vtith only six dissentient voices ;

JUNE 20, 1857.

That this meeting believes that the fifth clause of the
bill re-enacts the Catholic oath, which is acknowledged to
be offensive in its terms even by Protestant gentlemen
and subjecting Catholics to offensive imputations, and
therefore hopes that Catholic members of both houses will
be induced to continue to oppose its re-enactment.

A petition to both Houses of Parliament, in accor-
dance with the spirit of the above resolution, and
protesting against the " invidious distinction " still
maintained in the disfavour of the Catholic body, now
lies at the Stafford•street Club for signature. It has
already been signed by most of the noblemen and
gentlemen above mentioned, as well as by the Duke
of Norfolk, the Earl of Dunraven, and about sixty
other Catholic gentlemen.

THE CONDITION OF THE POOR OF THE 'VICTORIA
DOCK MARSHES has given rise to the foundation of
a philanthropic and religious scheme under the
head of the " Plaistow and Victoria Dock Mission,"
for the purpose of providing means of education and
religious instruction for the 4,000 poor lately set-
tled in the district. A numerous and influential
meeting was held at Stratford, on Wednesday,
the Bishop of London presiding. Resolutions in
accordance with the object of the meeting were
passed and a committee appointed. Miss Burdett
Coutts has headed the subscription list with 1001.,
which she has promised to contribute for five years.
THE NATIONAL REFORMATORY UNION held their
second annual meeting on Saturday, at Willis's.
rooms. Lord Brougham was in the chair; and the
noble and learned lord in his opening address ex-
pressed himself in tavour of using transportation as
long as we could, but at the same time to improve
and continue our reformatory policy. Letters were
read from M. de Metz, with regard to reformatories.
He made two principal suggestions—that the sites
chosen should not be too far out of the way, and
that the institutions should not be too large. The
report of the society, which stated that thirty five
reformatories had already been established in Eng-
land, and was altogether highly satisfactory and
encouraging, was read and adopted, and various
resolutions in accordance with the objects of the
meeting passed. The provincial meeting fof 1857
will be held in the autumn at Birmingham.

In his introduction Mr. Bell observes :

The gradual decline of these compositions may be traced
to the accession of James 1., when the Border feuds ceased
to supply the bold and picturesque sources of interest which
fired the imagination of the ancient minstrel. The ballads
produced after that period are tame and flat in comparison
with the genuine songs of the old times, and can at best
be regarded only as modern imitations.

There were other causes besides the ceasing
of the feuds for the decline of the ballads.
The age became less joyous in tone, and less
picturesque in popular manners and costume.
The fierce contentions in politics and religion
turned mind into other channels, and after
the Revolution new forms of composition had
been introduced.

The Scandinavian ballads are at present a
favour it() subject of study amongst many
readers of poetry; and a comparison between
smile of the Norse ballads and the pieces in
this volume would be interesting. The ortho-
graphy of these ballads is a difficult practical
question for an editor to deal with. Mr. Bell
says :

The orthography, for which, it is scarcely necessary to
observe, we have no reliable authority whatever, is every.
where capricious and uncertain; sometimes governed by

LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1857.

TAB House of Commons is in a state of great
confusion. The majority on the Ministerial
side is breaking up. As when the ice of a
great river is yielding to the influence of thaw,
sounds fall on the ear, indicating that the
disruption of the whole body is at hand.
The Liberal party cannot conceal its rest-
lessness at the leadership of Lord PALMERS-
TON. A feeling of personal humiliation is
experienced by its members at their submis-
sion to a Minister with whom they have no
sentiment in common. While it was supposed
that he was devotedto Continental Liberalism,
and sincerely playing the part of bottleholder
to oppressed nationalities against their Go-
vernments, his aversion to Reform at home,
and his defects as an administrator, were
leniently regarded. His alliance with Austria
has rudely dispelled the dream of his Liberal
adherents, that he was, as the Premier of
England, to burst forth the champion of
Italian regeneration. With the discovery of
the cheat, their allegiance has loosened.
Worse remains behind.

In a well-known passage of BURKE'S " Re-
flections " he speaks of the lustre which men
who have risen to power by turbulence or
intrigue have shed on their country by their
talents. Commanding station is a powerful
varnish which brings to light the latent
qualities of character. As Premier, Lord
PALMERSTON has had full opportunity for the
display of those tendencies which during his
long official life were kept in subordination.
The result has been to give exaggerated and
offensive prominence to all his most objection-
able peculiarities. His friends are now com-
pelled to acknowledge that he is more insolent
and false than his foes once represented him
to be. Never did any man full so low in
rising so high.
It is a new thing for England to have a
Premier whose word cannot be trusted. Dearly
has Lord PALMERSTON bought the "cheers and
laughter " which hailed his denial of Mr.
DISRAELI'S assertion respecting the secret
treaty. His denial lasted to the hour when
detection was certain. It is now known that
the admission was extorted from his lips by
the near prospect of incontrovertible proof
being brought to convict him of what, by the
most lenient construction, must be termed his
extraordinary error. The " invention " and
the " romance " which tauntingly fell from his
tongue were found to apply only to the fiction
which he had attempted to impose on the
House us truth.

It is not wondorful that his detection should
already have changed his position in the
House. There is one offence which not even
partisanship can overlook.
On Thursday evening the discontent of the
Liberals took a palpable shape. The occasion

LEGISLATION FOR SCOTLAND.

Mr. BANTER wished to ask the Lord Advocate
whether he intended to bring in a bill this session
extending to the Scotch counties the provisions of
the Registration of Voters Bill, passed last year for
the burghs; and also whether it was his intention to
introduce a police bill for Scotland.

BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS.

Lord PALMERSTON moved for a select committee to
inquire into the operation of the act the 17th and
18th of Victoria, chap. 102, to consolidate and amend
the laws relating to bribery, treating, and undue in-
fluence at elections of members of Parliament.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. HORSMAN obtained leave to bring in a bill to
discontinue the taking of toll on the turnpike roads
now existing in Ireland, and to provide for the ma n-
tenance of such roads as public roads, and for the
discharge of the debts due thereon, and for other
purposes; and
Mr. BouvEruE, a bill to provide for the relief of
the puor in extra-parochial places.

TENANT COMPENSATION (IRELAND).

Mr. G. H. MooRE gave notice that on the 3rd of
March he should move for leave to bring in a bill to
give compensation to tenants in Ireland who bad
made improvements in their holdings.
