and of its future treatment. Large expenditure
is created, he says, by an erroneous foreign
policy, which has rendered necessary the forma-
tion of large armies and powerful fleets. Repu-
diate all alliances, eschew all foreign relations
except those which are purely trading; secure
perfect political isolation, and you will have light
taxation and abundant income. Be very civil to
every one, but give neither advice nor aid, and
you will go on your ways with prosperity and
rejoicing, caring for nobody and nobody caring
for you. A very charming state of things, but
realizable only by means which we think Mr.
BRIGHT and his friends would be the very first to
kick against. Why, what must the first step be?
Unquestionably, the abrogation of those trading
and commercial relations which Mr. BRIGHT
desires to maintain. For what purpose have we
warred, from the time when first we had a
foreign policy, but to preserve trade ? For what
did we go to war with Russia ? For what
were and are England and France, once tradi-
tional rivals and enemies, in that close alliance
which Mr. BRIGHT denounces as the source of all
expense? and why did they exercise in favour of
Turkey that intervention which Mr. BRIGHT
abhors as the origin of all evil ? For what but to
keep from the grasp of Russia the commerce of
the East, to preserve to England one of her best
customers, to keep her from being shut out of the
Black Sea, and to maintain those trading rela-
tions which Mr. BRIGIIT so highly values ? We
are certainly not advocates for meddling, but it
is absurd to imagine that a nation situated as we
are geographically—within twenty miles of the
Continent of Europe, mixed up in all our com-
mercial relations and our military transactions
with every one of her nations ; connected by
treaties and by marriages with most of
her Empires and States—can isolate ourselves.
Mr. BRIGHT surely forgets that the territory
which is insulated by the seas that wash the
shores of Great Britain proper, constitutes the
smallest part of our empire. Surely, he forgets
that with Prussia, with Belgium, and the States of
Germany, we are united by blood; that with
America we are united by community of origin
and of language, and the closest connections in
trade, and in commercial enterprise ; and that
with France we are closely allied by unity of
purpose and identity of policy. In the face of
these facts it is foolish and mischievous to preach
" isolation " as a means by which we are to at-
tain economy in expenditure or to give relief in
taxation. A wise and temperate management of
those foreign relations which we cannot avoid,
and a careful abstinence from that propagandism
which many of the supporters of Mr. BRIGHT
have so often attempted to force upon us at the
suggestion of foreign agitators, is far more likely
to bring to piss the results which Mr. BRIGHT
desires ; and to induce among our neighbours a re-
duction of armaments by diminishing their ap-
prehensions of political disturbances.

!less in this country to acquiesce in the existing pao-
hibition. he should support the bill.
The LORD ADVOCATE said he should offer the
strongest opposition to the bill. He did not, he said,
press the theological argument, because it had been
exhausted by Mr. Hope, but he should discuss the
question as one of policy and expediency. He then
weighed the evils of this alteration of the law
against its alleged advantages, insisting that Lord
Lvndhurst's Act was no alteration of the principle of
the law, whereas the present bill was a novelty and
an innovation.
Mr. PULLER said be should not detain the house
upon the social question, which he thought had been
exhausted by the Lord Advocate. If the case rested
solely upon social grounds, he admitted that much
might be seid on both sides. He applied himself to
the question of a Divine prohibition, and, confessing
the difficulty which attended the construction of the
authorized version of the text in Leviticus, he
thought the real question was whether the house
was competent, without further information, to decide
off hand upon a disputed text that there was no
such prohioition in the Bible. He suggested that
it was the duty of the Government to issue a com-
mission to Hebrew scholars to ascertain the true
construction of the text.
Mr. MILNER supported the bill on behalf of the
middle and lower classes, who, he said, broke and
would continue to break a law which was repugnant
to their moral sense.
Mr. ARROYO also supported the bill, which would
repeal a law which, he said, was habitually disre-
garded.
Mr. Idsuss was constrained, he said, after full
consideration, to give his support to the bill. He
was satisfied that there was nothing in the theolo-
gical argument; that there was no scriptural pro-
hibition of these marriages ; and, looking at the
differences of opinion and at the effects of the law as
it bto,d, be thought it expedient to pass the bill.
After a short reply from Lord BURY, the house
divided, when the second reading of the bill was
carried by 174 to 134.
The other business having been gone through,
the house adjourned at a quarter past five o'clock.

NEW PEERS.—The title by which Sir Colin Camp-

that of Lotd Campbell of Clyde, in allusion to his
birthplace upon the banks of the romantic Clyde,
near Glasgow. The only matter of regret is the fact
that Sir Colin is still a bachelor, and that, as he has
reached his sixty-sixth year, there is comparatively
small chance of his title occupying hereafter a per•
manent place in the pages of the British peerage.
Mr. Pemberton Leigh, the distinguished lawyer, is

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH laid on the table some
correspondence from Lord Canning containing the
proclamation lately issued with reference to the

transmitted in reply from the Home Government.
Ho moved that the paper: should be printed.
Earl GRANVILLE considered the cour-e adopted by
the Government altogether unprecedented. They
hail not merely passed censure on the conduct of Lord
Canning hastily, and, as he thought, without due in-
formation, before even an o'licial copy of the docu•
mcnt had been received, but had promulgated in
England, whence it would at once be sent to India,
their own secret despatch, with which the Director.A
of the Company had only been made acquainted this
morning. The consegnence, he apprehended, would
be the resignation of the Governor• General, an event
in his opinion fraught with serious injury to India,

THE STORK AND THE CROWS.

THE difference of opinion between the Crown
lawyers upon the case of the Cagliari af-
fords, indeed, evidence of the candour and
the truth-seeking spirit with which the Eng-
lish mind searches after right, upon which-
ever side the national feeling may have been
strongly enlisted ; but it by no means tends
to a satisfactory solution of the matters
which are to be submitted to the judgment
of Parliament. The Attorney-General cannot,
with a due regard to his professional
and constitutional position, combat as he might
in a court of law the conclusions from which
he dissents; nor can Sir H. CAIRNS, speaking
for himself and the Queen's Advocate, enter into
a war of words with the eminent lawyer who is a
member of the same Administration. In the
absence of authoritative declarations, and in the
conflict of judgments to which the House has a
right to look for information, it is to be feared
that members will fall back upon individual views,
based less upon the grand principles which it has
been the pride and glory of this nation to main-
tain, than upon the varying standard which each
may set up from his own party or private preju-
dices.

To us it appears—and it is with regret that we
are forced to the conclusion—that the opinion of
Sir JOHN HARDING and Sir 11. CAIRNS is the
sounder and more consistent. It is of course at
the present juncture more pleasant to think with
the Attorney-General that the capture was illegal,
and that the State of Sardinia, to which we are
bound by every feeling which usually actuates
Englishmen, is entirely in the right: but we have
to look, when we lay down broad propositions, at
other days than these ; and it can hardly be said
with truth that our practice has been at any time
marked with the forbearance which is now looked
for from the Neapolitans. A Parliament which
passed what were called the Hovering Acts, and
which has on all occasions asserted, where practi-

THE INDIAN PROCLAMATION.

In answer to an inquiry by Mr. BRIGHT as to the
authenticity of a proclamation by the Governor-
General of India (a copy of which appears in our
columns), announcing au intention to confiscate
certain property in Oude, whether, if authentic, it
had been issued in accordance with any directions
from the Home Government., and, if not so issued,
what steps the Government had taken, or meant to
take, regarding it,
Mr. 13.tru.te said that three weeks ago the Govern-
ment had received a despatch containing a procla-
mation, which he believed to be the one referred to ;
that it was immediately taken into consideration,
and a despatch was written expressing the views of
her Majesty's Government with reference to it, and
there was no objection to copies of both documents
being laid before the house. The proclamation had
not been issued in consequence of any directions
of the Home Government.
Mr. BRIGHT wished to know the tenor of the
answer of the Government.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
Government in their despatch disapproved the policy
of the proclamation in every sense.

consummate ability, and acquired among the natives
an exalted reputation for justice and firmness.
The Earl of DErtny explained the principles on
which the Government had acted. They believed
that the proclamation, which threatened an almost
general confiscation of the land in Oude, would drive
the great landowners to despair, and tend to
exasperate and prolong the contest in that province.
The inhabitants of Oude ought not to be treated like
mutinous sepoys. Writing to Lord Canning, how-
ever, they had studiously avoided using any expres-
sions calculated to necessitate his resignation; they
bad not even required him to recal his proclamation,
simply intimating their wish that in acting upon it
he should to a wide extent mitigate its severity.
The Duke of Anom. remarked that her Majesty's
Ministers had altogether repudiated the maxim that
had been recently adopted, that India should be
governed in India. lie proceeded to inveigh against
their treatment of Lord Canning, especially in allow-
ing their censure of his proclamation to be publicly
announced in the most offensive terms by a distin-
guished member of Administration "in another
place."
The Earl of ELLExpottonos replied, offering some
further explanations and defences of the course pur-
sued by the Government towards the Governor-
General.

The subject then dropped, and the motion was
agreed to.
After transacting some further business their lord-
ships adjourned at seven o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
OATHS BILL.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL intimated his wish to post-
pone until Monday the consideration of the Lords'
amendments in the Parliamentary Oaths Bill, hoping
that the Government would allow the subject to take
precedence on that day.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER assented to
this arrangement, and the motion accordingly stood
adjourned.

COURTS OF PROBATE AND ADMIRALTY.

Mr. S. WARREN called attention to the operation of
tle Prolate Act of last session, with reference to the
rights of employing barristers at-law in non-conten-
tions business in the Probate Court, and barristers
and atturoeys.at-law in the Court of Admiralty, sup-
posed to have been conferred on the public in consi
deration of the compensation awarded by that act to
proctors and others. The hon. and learned member
proceeded to enlarge upon the expediency of throw-
ing open to the legal profession generally the full
right of practising in the Probate Court and Court of
Admiralty.
Mr. HADFIELD complained that a clause on this
point orivinally inserted in the bill hail been struck
out at the last moment.
Sir R. BETHEI.L declared that the alteration was
effected without his knowledge or assent.
Mr. MALINS remarked that very exaggerated ideas
had become prevalent touching the compensation
awarded to the proctors.

" The tragedy is reflected with all its terrible lights and sha-
dows in the • Lady's Diary.*—Lesider.
"The incidents are told with a simplicity, a warmth of sym-
pathy. an overflowing affection fur friends at home, and an un-
affected piety, ahleh give one the highest opinion of the writer's
bead and heart."—biterary Gazette.
"This little book will be eagerly read by thousands. It is
written by a woman, and not with an eye to publication, but an
unvarnished record of facts and feelings addressed to the dear
home circle which she knew to be in tremoling suspense on her
aosount."--OLobe.
"In the best sense, and in every sense, this is a woman's
manila of the siege of Lucknow. Her journal is most touching
for its simplicity. There is not a sentence written in it for
effect. The little record is conspicuous for nothing so much
as its modesty."—Examiner.
" Here is the story of Lucknow, told without a touch of art
OT effort, It is strictly and simply a (fiery, and the shadow of
death is on almost every page. The lady who elites enters
morning and evening in her journal the incidents of the last few
hours, and to her broken narrative, blotted with tears, the tra-
gedy stands forth more terrible, the heroism more majestic,
than any military chronicle, emblazoned like a banner with
those epic epigrams that tell of victory. This narration leave.

wonder-working heroism and patience of the garrison that de-
fended Lucknow."—Athensam.

THE LITURGY.

Lord EenitY moved for an address to the Crown
for the appointment of a commission to inquire into
the necessity of a revision of the Liturgy of the
Church of England. He contended that the lapse
of nearly 300 years had rendered such a revision
necessary ; it was desired by a large portion of the
community, was desirable in itselr, and the means
by which the alteration could be effected were safe
and constitutional. He pointed out the defects of
the present Liturgy, the chief of which were the
extreme length of the form of prayer for morning
seriice, and the repetitions it contained. There
were two general exhortations and two general
confessions ; the Sovereign and the clergy were
each prayed for three times; the Ministry, the
Houses of Parliament, and the magistracy, each
twice, and the Lord's Prayer -was repeateu three
times. The service was thus rendered wearisome,
especially when the Communion was administered.
Similar objections applied to the other services.
.Notwithstanding the Act of Uniformity, alterations
In the Liturgy were, in practice, frequently made.
There was not a prelate on the episcopal bench who
had not broken the Act of Uniformity over and over
again. It was argued that if they attempted any
change in the Book of Common Prayer no one
knew where they would stop; that great differences
would arise, and there might be a disruption of the
Church in consequence. But these dangers were
net avoided by mending still. They could not be
blind to the fact that a great disruption had already
occurred; though a revision of the Liturgy might
not heal all their differences, yet it, would tend to
bring back to the Church many pious and estimable
Nonconformists ; they should therefore make the
attempt. No change could be made before the whole
blectshad pissed under tho consideration of the
loyal Commission, Convocation, and both Houses of
tartlet:nein; the means of effecting the revision
would, theiefore, be perfectly constitutional
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY objected to the
proposal ; the attempt to introduce such changes in

his "Echo on Woman," he had the foregoing
squib before him :

Shepherd: What must I do when woman will be kind?
Echo—Be kind.
Shepherd: What mast I do when woman will be cross?
Echo—Be cross.
Shepherd: Lord! What is she that can so turn and wind?

Echo—Wind.
Shepherd: Is there no way to moderate ber anger?
Echo—Hang her.

fall, by his
One IMMO

to him of any
The case was, as decidedly as any case ever
appeared to be, that of " a haughty spirit
going before a fall." Some of his own sup-
porters among the journalists made no secret
of their consciousness of this peril. The
Times, in particular, more than once or twice,
admitted that his decline and fall were the
inevitable results of his own faults and
failures. It 'was not asserted, then, by any
party, (that he still retained his hold on the
majority. No one denied, or doubted, that
his ejection from office was a reality, and " no
mistake." In fact, it is quite clear that if the
defeated Minister had felt any doubt of the
real temper of the House; if he had even sus-
pected that the majority against him was
accidental, or a snatched majority, his first
and highest duty would have been to have
called upon the House for a calm, deliberate
vote. The displacement of a whole Adminis-
tration, and the appointment and re-election
of another, is not an operation of that light
and trifling kind which should be hazarded
upon a guess or a perchance. We have a right
to argue that the late Premier, in submitting
to the verdict of the 19th of February, was
satisfied that the vote of the House had been
deliberately given, and that the proper moment
had arrived for his withdrawal from power.
We have, then, a new Administration, rightly
and fairly installed in office. No one has said
—no one, we believe, imagines—that on Lord
PALMERSTON'S retirement there was any other
person for whom the Queen might more pru-
dently have sent, than for Lord DERBY. No
one has even ventured to express an opinion,

HOUSE OF COMMONS—TunDAy.

The HOME -.-
-SECRETARY,repIyini to Mr. Cross,
stated that a bill designed to continue and amend
the Corrupt Practices at Elections Prevention Act
was in course of preparation, and would shortly be
introduced.

General PEEL, in answer to General Codrington,
said that Enfield [rifles had been supplied to every
regiment sent recently to India. In all 82,000 of
this description of weapon were issued for the service
of troops in that country.

OF JUSTICE.

MO lld'hfAnoht moved fora select committee to
inquire into the expediency of further improving
the administration of justice by increasing the num•
ber of assizes and assize towns for civil and criminal
business in the several counties of England and
Wales.

The HOME SECRETARY remarked that the in-
quiry suggested had been included in the far more
comprehensive investigation completed by the oom-
missioners appointed last year, and whose report
MO already before the house. In a practical point
of view the object indicated by Mr. M'Mabon could
only be accomplished by a large increase in the
judicial staff of the country, involving a considerable
augmentation in the public expenditure. He pro
mised that the Government would not lose sight of
the subject, if any opportunity offered for increasing
the facilities at present afforded the public in this
respect.
After some further discussion, in which Mr. Had-
field, Lord Goderich, Sir G. Grey, and other mem-
bers participated, the motion was negatived without
a division.

INDIA.

The following telegram was received on Saturday
last :

ALEXANDRIA, April 20.
The Calcutta and China mails, per Hindustan, leave this
afternoon, with intelligence from Calcutta to the 23rd of
March, Madras to the 29th, Ceylon to the 2nd of April,
awl Hong Kong to the lath of March.
The Bentinck, with extra mail and passengers from

and Cooper, of the Rifles, dead.
On the 21st the Nombries (Nana's) retreatwas stormed.
He escaped, and a reward of .50,000 rupees is offered fur
his head.

Outram's force had discovered and destroyed rebels in
Lucknow, and the Prime Minister is among those reported
as killed. Cape, of the 13th Native Infantry, and Thaek-
well were murdered by tho enemy. Fanatics still fire on
our troops.
The Governor• General's proclamation calling on the
zemindara to submit had produced no effect.
Oude is pacified, the enemy flying towards Sundeera.
Jung Bshadoor goes to Allahabad. No civil officer had
yet been sent to Lucknow by the Government. Some in-
habitants were returning to the city.
The heat was increasing daily.
A telegram from Allahabad of the 2lth states that Sir
Hope Grant was sent on the 23rd to disperse a body of in-
surgents under Rajah Jajlal Singh at Karee, and raurned
perfectly successful. He took twelve guns.
The Disarming Act was being enforced in the north•
west provinces.
The sentence on the King of Delhi had not yet been
made public.

Arrah, jewel, why didn't you do what was right,
And against Pat Walewski stand up in the fight?
Shure each boy in the parish would have rush'd to the sight.
And we never supposed you'd have taken to flight,

An all our sweet votes for flotilla' we've spilt,

Our wrongs might, sure, draw tears from a stone,

the subtle management of the reflected lights, and
the masterly execution of the detail, make this small
picture one of the most interesting in the room.
Everyone will be glad to find no less than six pieces
by Mr. Hunt—wildflowers, a bunch of May, fungi,
plums, grapes, and bird's•nests. Nothing more won-
derful or more exquisite than these for perfection of
form, colour, and finish has ever been produced, or
ever can be ; but the " View from Richn.ond-hill," •
subject a little out of Mr. Hunt's usual track, draws,
perhaps, on that account even more attention. There
is nothing like composition about it; it is a literal
copy of the scene. There is the straight gravel path
across the foreground and the furze-bushes just
beyond, and on the right are those shapeless trees
which have stood there long enough, but seldom find
their way into pictures. With less perfect execution,
these objects would be unsightly ; but photography
has accustomed us to this sort of absolutely true
landscape, and we do not regard it as we should have
done a few years back. Mr. Bartholomew sends two
groups, one of fruit and the other of flowers ; he is
most at home with the latter, and fully sustains his
high reputation.

through his own inability to keep it. Lord
PALMERSTON was a" sub" for nearly fifty years,
and only gained the post of Premier in the
seventy-third year of his age, and when all
other Liberal leaders had broken down. No
doubt both of these " old hands " have plenty
of " experience " in " the ways of the House;
and they may scoff at " the young ones" for
their " want of tact." But these are points of
practice upon which national interests cannot
be allowed to depend. Sooner or later the
broad and large questions which involve the
country's wellbeing must have their proper
weight ; and Ministries will not be made, or
lost, by their adroitness, or their want of it, in
this or that particular discussion.

The Earl of
He had endea

BOROUGH defended the measure
to connect India, by the system

of election in its Home Government, with the great
representative powers of the country, and to give
that stability and influence to the Council which
could alone prevent jobbing and remedy the mistakes
of Parliament. The state of India would not allow
of any delay in deciding upon its form of Govern-
ment.

Earl GREY believed the dangers of delay much
less than those of taking a false step that might be
irretrievable. It was evident the public mind was
not prepared to deal with the question; the import-
ance of the reconstruction of the Home Government
of India had been much exaggerated by all parties.
It only affected the manner in which the Cabinet
acted on the Indian authorities ; to the natives of
India, who knew no one but the Governor•Generai, it
was of little importance.
Earl GRANVILLE contrasted the principles em -
bodied in the present bill with the opinions ex-
pressed by the Earl of Elleaborough in 1831 and
1853.

Lord MONTEAGLE thought they were only in-
creasing the difficulties of the question by discussing
it without any preparation, inquiry, or authority.
After a few observations from the Marquis of
CLANRICARDE the return was ordered and their lord-
ships adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—TiwasnAy.
On the motion of Mr. WALPOLE, it was resolved
that on and after the 13th of May orders of the day
on Thursdays shall have precedence of notices of
motions.

Mr. SPOONER moved his annual resolution for tho
withdrawal of the parliamentary grant to Maynooth,
and supported his motion with the usual arguments.
The HONE SECRETARY opposed the motion, he.
lieving that if the present arrangement were altered
much disquietude would be excited among the Irish
public, with no countervailing advantages.
Mr. NEWDEGATE having briefly supported the
motion, and alter a reply from Mr. SPOONER,
The house divided:

On the motion of Sir E. COLEBROOKE, and after
some di-cussion, the Registration of County Voters
(Scotland) Bill was read a second time.

of the Juries (Ireland) Bill, and was proceeding to
explain and justify the measure, whe❑
The house was counted out, at a quarter to eight
o'clock.
