BELFAST still continues very much disturbed.
Continual riots took place at the latter end of last
week and on Sunday, although Mr. Hanna resolved
upon abstaining from out-door preaching until a more
prudent period. Another preacher, Mr. Mateir,
preached during the day, the earlier part of which
passed off quietly, but towards evening some
disgraceful rioting took place. Several volleys were
fired between the mobs, the lamps were put out, and
it was only after the Riot Act had been read, and a
powerful body of troops brought up, that the blob
dispers d. Mr. David Lynch, Q.C. ( Roman Catholic
and Whig), and Mr. Hamilton Smythe, Q.C. (Pro-
testant and Conservative), the commissioners
appointed by the Lord Lieutenant to inquire into
the recent disgraceful outrages, arrived on Monday
morning and formally opened the sittings of the com-
mission at three o'clock in the County Court-house.
Among those present as listeners were the Protestant
and Roman Catholic bishops, the Mayor of Belfast,
and several of the local civil authorities. Mr. Alex-
ander O'Rourke appeared for the Rcman Catholic
inhabitants who had suffered by the riots ; Mr. John
Rea for some others, and also to lay his own views on
the subject before the commissioners ; Mr. M‘Meehan
represented the ultra-Protestant party. The pro-
tracted nature of the inquiry may be learnt from the
fact that Mr. O'Rourke stated that there were no
fewer than seventy-six witnesses to be brought for-
ward on the Roman Catholic side, while those to bs
produced for the Protestant party were pretty nearly
equal.

As AN INSTANCE OF AN IRISH INQUEST, the Drog-
heda Conservative reports that in a case on the body
of a baby whose birth had been concealed the follow-
ing extraordinary verdict was returned :
We find that Rose Meredyth, mother of the infant, is not
only not guilty, but perfectly free from any blame whatever;
and we further add, that she was justified in burying her
offspring, dead born, even in a privy, dung-heap, or sink, or
where it suited her convenience.

A more regular inquest has resulted in a warrant
for the apprehension of the girl.

THE RETURNS OF THE IRISH BANKS for the four
weeks ending the 29th of August show a falling off
in the circulation, as compared with the preceding
return, of 208,0001., which makes a total decrease,
within four months, of very nearly 1,000,0001. The
diminution on the month extends to all the banks,
with the excepti in of the Ulster, which has in-
creased its issues by 3,0001. In the coin held there
is a decrease on the month of 20,0001. The banks
in which there has been a diminution of specie are
the Provincial and Northern Banks and the Bank of
Ireland. In the Belfast, Ulster, and National Banks
there has been an increase. From the returns made
it appears that the Irish banks are now 129,68-1/.
below their fixed issue, and taking into account the
coin they hold, the amount is 2,375,0991. below that
allowed by law.

670 objections. The number of claims by the Con-
servatives is about 580, very many of which are re-
claims, they being already on the register, but dis-

SPAIN.

A telegraphic despatch of the 15th inst., from
Madrid, yesterday announced that the Narvaez
Ministry had given in its resignation, which the
Queen had refused to accept. The telegraph is very
concise in its announcement, and we await the de-
tails, which are doubtless already on the road. It
has been conjectured that the question of Queen
Christina's return to Spain may have been the cause
of the resignation of the Cabinet.

According to accounts received from Genoa, the
grand jury of that city has not yet decided whether
Miss Jessie Merriton White, notorious from her
connection with Mazzini, shall be put on her trial.
Miss White is defended by Brofferio, the well-kncwn
leader of the ultra Oppositioa in the Sardinian
Chamber.

The Yen. Henry Foulkes, D.D.. Principal of Jesus
College, Oxford, died on Thursday, at five p.m. Dr.
Foulkes, who, we believe, was eighty-four years of
age, had been principal of his college forty years,
having been elected to succeed Dr. David Hughes in
1817. The rev. gentleman proceeded to his B.A.
degree April 30, 1794 ; M.A. April 6, 1799 ; BD.
May 3, 1804 ; and D.D. March 29, 1817. The elec-
tion of a new principal is vested in the hands of the
Fellows of Jesus College. Dr. Foulkes, in conse-
quence of the infirmities attendant on old age, had
taken no active part in university affairs for several
years past.

Colonel Sykes has addressed a letter to the
Aberdeen Journal upon the rebellion in India.
Colonel Sykes regards the n•utiny to have originated
in "a religious delusion, stimulated by anterior im-

ITALY.

The return of the Pope to Rome, letters tell us,
was not signalised by any remarkable display of
enthusiasm on the part of the people.
The Marquis of Normanby and the Tuscan
Minister for Foreign Affairs, according to a gossiping
letter from Florence, recently had a dispute on a ques-
tion of etiquette while the Pope was in the Tuscan
capital. The British Minister and his colleagues re-
ceived an invitation to dine at the Pitti Palace, but to
their extreme displeasure, they were not placed at the
same table with the Grand Duke and the Sovereign
Pontiff. A complaint was made in due form to the
Minister for Foreign Affairs, but that functionary
threw the blame on the shoulders of the Gland
Steward. A day or two after the diplomatists had been
obliged to eat "humble pie" they received another
invitation to dine at Court, and accepted it, in the
expectation that reparation for the slight which had
been put upon them was about to be made. The
noble lord and his colleagues were, however, again
obliged to seat themselves at a lower table, " and
since that time," says the correspondent, "the rela-
tions between the diplomatic body and the Tuscan
Cuurt have been extremely cool."

Mr. Hay proceeds to New York in the Argo. He
seems to have a most intimate knowledge of every-
thing relating to the mutiny, and it almost seems
pity that he should leave the country without giving
to the people of England the fruits of his experience
and knowledge of Indian affairs.

FRANCE.

The Moniteur of Wednesday announces that there
is no foundation for the report of the formation of a
Foreign Legion in the pay of England.
l'he Emperor continues at the camp at Chalons.
M. de Kisseleff, the Russian Ambassador, has
arrived at Paris.

Great preparations are being made at the Tuileries
for the reception of some distinguished stranger
Various rumours are afloat in Paris. It is believeo
that the Emperor of Russia will he the visitor.
_ .

Prince Napoleon's journey to the Isthmus of Suez,
lately spoken of, has been abandoned. It appears
that it was not his intention to go to the Chalons
camp, but that the Emperor has commanded his
presence there. The Prince Bonaparte, grandson
of Jerome, who is an officer in the Spahis, and who
served in the Crimea on the staff of General Morris,
has arrived in Paris on leave of absence.
AUSTRIA.

The Augsburg Gazette says that the Emperor of
Austria would leave Vienna on the 16th, to pay a
visit to the Prussian monarch at Berlin. As the
Emperor of Russia left Berlin on the 16th, and the
Emperor Francis Joseph intended to pay a visit to
the ex-Emperor Ferdinand at his summer palace
before proceeding to Berlin, the two Emperors would
not meet at the Prussian Court.

The Ost Deutsche Post, a Ministerial organ,
is of opinion that " the interview at Stuttgardt is an
event which should set Germany thinking." It adds
that there are many parts of the Eastern question yet
unsolved, and that the military resources of England
are absorbed in India.
PRUSSIA.

The Emperor Alexander of Russia arrived at
Berlin on the 14th, and left for Weimar or Frank-
fort on the 16th. His Imperial Majesty was accom-
panied by the Princes Gortschakoff, Count Adelberg,
and Count Brunnow.

The Evangelical Alliance has held its meeting
this week at Berlin. The King signified his inten-
tion of being present at the cinsing sitting, which was
held on Thuriday. Lord Bloomfield entered his
name on the list of the members of the conference,
and subscribed twenty-five thalers towards its ex-
penses, and has been present at some of the
meetings.

THE PRESS, SEPTEMBER 19, 1857.

At the meeting of the North of Europe Steam
Company, held on Tuesday, a most stormy discussion
took place. It appeared that there had been a
further loss to the shareholders upon the last half-
year of 38,529/., that 45,0001. had been borrowed, and
two of the ships mortgaged without any minute of
the board authorising the transaction. Lord Yarbo-
rough, it appeared, had retired from the direction
owing to the contemplated arrangements with the
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway in
connection with the port of Grimsby not being
carried out. On his retirement he had sold his
shares. No director had realised in anticipation of
a crash ; but a proprietor observed that, besides other
losses through Sir Morton Peto, the company had
lost 19,0001. by the traffic in connection with the
Tonning and Flensburg Railway. Eventually the
report was received, and it was resolved to carry on
the undertaking until the end of the year, and to sell
the ships from time to time as opportunities might
occur.

The Trade Reports of the week show rather less
activity than last week.

DR. LETHEBY, at the City Sewers Commission
meeting this week, in bringing before the court a
case of nuisance in Bow lane arising from storing
lucifers in the lower premisc,a, explained that the
fumes of phosphorus were most dangerous and dele-
terious :

For more than twenty years—in fact, ever since lucifer
matches came into use—the observations of physicians,
both in this country and on the Continent, have established
the fact that the fumes of phosphorus, when continually
inhaled, were dangerous to health, even when largely
diluted with atmospheric air, producing a disease known
as the " lucifer disease," which arose from the storing of
lucifer matches. Smelling it only produced a slight de-
rangement of the digestive organs, sometimes slow fever,
and sometimes affection of the jaw, killing the bone, and
at last wearing out the life of the sufferer by a lingering

hectic. The poison was of a most insidious nature, and
sure to act, although sometimes not till after years of
exposure; and in two cases similar to the one under
notice brought before the Central Criminal Court about
three years ago, the verdicts were decidedly in favour of
the Crown.

Dr. Letheby was highly complimented upon his
ability in dealing with the question, and instructions
were given to gee that the removal of the nuisance
was rigidly carried out.
THE MORTALITY RETURNS OF THE WEEK SNOW

which lately rose above 1,200, had last week fallen

POSTSCRIPT.

ASSASSINATION OF PRINCE DANILO OF
MONTENEGRO.
&telegraphic despatch from Constantinople, Sep:.
12, announces the assassination of Prince D.tnilo of
Montenegro by some of his kinsmen, in revenge for
the death of his nephew, recently assassinated at his
instigation in Constantinople.

PARIS, Thursday Evening.
The Duke of Cambridge left the capital this
morning for the camp at Chalons, where important
military operations are about to be represented in
his honour. Three aides-de-camp accompanied his
Royal Highness.
Count de Morny will, it is said, accompany the
Emperor to Stuttgardt as well as Count Walewski
and Count de Rayneval, the recently appointed
Ambassador of France to St. Petersburg. The
Emperor of Russia will be accompanied by Prince
Gortschakoff, his Foreign Minister, and Count
Kisseleff.

GERMANY.

The Empress of Russia, who is with her family at
Darmstadt, is suffering from, it is said, suites de
couches. Her physicians rigidly enjoin the most
complete repose. Of course, therefore, her going to
Stuttgardt is out of the question.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna, September 15, states that
the only intelligence to be forwarded to-day is
that some new financial measure is about to be
taken by Government. The Bourse is of opinion
that Reich schatz scheine (Exchequer Bills) to the
amount of 150,000,000 H. are to be issued, but the
Minister of Finance is not likely to have recourse
to a measure which could not but have a most
injurious effect on the paper currency. Should the
State begin to fabricate notes again, the proba-
bility is that the premium on the precious metals
would soon be as high as it was two or three
years ago.
London, England, 1857-09-19

Milford, Elgin. Clandeboye, Eddisbury, Lon-
desborough, Overstone, and Broughton, were
conferred on Lord CREMORNE, Sir R. B. PHIL-
LIPP 3, the Earl of ELGIN, Lord DUFFERIN, Mr.
E. J. STANLEY (now Lord Stanley of Alderley),
Lord ALBERT CONYNOHAM, Mr. JONES LLOYD,
and Sir J. C. Hoemousn ! What did Lord
CREMORNE do for an English peerage ? We can
understand the claims of Lord ELGIN, but
what are those of Lord DUFFERIN ? Oh, he
" Ibas SHERIDAN'S grandson." But SHERIDAN
is vilified shamefully (and we think unjustly)
by most of the Whig writers, including Lord
HoLLAND, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and Tom MOORE.
We have nothing to say against Lord OVER-
STONE, who was supposed to have been an
extra•financial Minister at times, and it is
quite natural that Sir JOHN CAM Hounouss,
the enthusiastic Radical declaimer of the
Westminster hustings, should wind up with
becoming a lord. "Well, Signor CAST'," said
NAPOLEON I. to the witty author of " Gli
Parlanti," " are you still a Democrat ?"
" More than ever, Sire," answered the clever
Italian, with a low bow ; " I see that great
"men always begin that way." So Westmin-
ster tribunes graduate from Covent-garden into
I the House of Lords !

Peerages ought to be conferred only after
long public services, or on commoners of the
highest consideration. They never should be
given to special families in exclusion of others.
The CAVENDISHES have three ennobled fami.
lies, Devonshirz, Burlington, and Waterpark ;
the PONSONBYS have three, Bessborough, Pon-
souby, and De Manley ; the GROSVENORS now
have two, Westminster and Ebury ; and so
on through a long list, in which the clannish
spirit of Whiggism is abundantly shown.
This subject demands attention, as there
are rumours that a batch of new peers will be
made next year. If Sir BENJAMIN HALL should
be created a noble, where would the honour
be in receiving the title of "Lord MACAULAY
of Rothlcy."

rise from their seats, and the " praising of the Lord "
with " holy songs of joy," as Beethoven praises in
notation, ought to have been heard by the Bishop of
Norwich, who has declared that charity must not go
hand in hand with music. Are there not sermons in
stones ? Was there no homily in that awful " Halle-
lujah" ? If there were men with disturbed con-
sciences in St. Andrew's Hall this morning, were not
the " sleepers awakened "? There was exaltation
for music, if ever music yet had power to awaken the
better feelings of man. Has the bishop never met
with that beautiful aphorism that "music is inca-
pable of expressing a bad passion "?
The Seasons were given in their entirety ; and at
half-past three winter set in, after a most sultry
performance. If the fashion in Germany of omitting
the words, and of cutting out the recitatives and repeats,
had been followed, much more delight and infinitely
less fatigue would have been experienced by the
enchanted hearers. The work of Haydn is replete
with genius ; it contains some of his noblest ideas. In
fancy, imagination, and descriptive energy it is
unrivalled; and yet the simplicity of the working out
is most surprising. Mme. Novello, Mrs. Weiss,
Mr. Lockey, and Mr. Weiss nobly sustained the
credit and fame of the English school of singing by
their admirable exertions. Mrs. Weiss not only
sang her own music, but that which was originally
given to a Mlle. Leonhardi, of whom mention will be
presently made in our reference to the evening
concerts. The printed apology issued was that, "in
consequence of not feeling satisfied with her acquaint-
ance with the English language, Mlle. Leonhardi
has requested to be released from the parts allotted to
her in The Seasons and in The Messiah." Why did
she not sing the words in her own Teutonic tongue, or
in " choice Italian," must be explained in a
future communication.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter 'from Vienna, in the Nouvellate de Ham-
bourg, says that the Porte is about to issue a circular
to the great powers refusing to consent to the union
of the Principalities. It will consent to the union,
commercial, financial, and military, but it will not go
beyond those limits. This circular is issued, it is
said, by advice of England and Austria. The cor-
respondent rather unnecessarily adds, that France
will not make this refusal of the Porte a eases bent.

A telegraphic despatch from Berlin in the Nord
says :—"The Emperor Napoleon,nfter having received
the autograph letter from the King of Prussia—in
which that sovereign expressed his regret that the
state of his health would not allow him to come in
person to pay his respects during his stay in Ger-
many—announced to the Prince of Prussia his in-
tention of paying a visit to the King."

General Jankowski, aide •de-camp of the Emperor
of Russia, has arrived in Paris on a military mission.

THE TAVISTOCK ELECTION.

A correspondence between the Duke of Bedford,
Mr. Allan, and Mr. Miall's committee, has been pub-
li4hed this week. It opens with a letter from the
duke to Mr. Mist!. The duke criticises the speech
of Mr. Miall at the recent election, and observes
It has ever been a rule with me to leave my tenants to

adulterated drinks are sold. It would seem indeed
that the office is very stricly exercised, for as the
seilers are unable to resort to their ordinary mixings
as a source of profit, they have been obliged to raise
their priced, and that in so marked a manner, that the
soldiers, who would rather buy cheap though unwhole-
some drinks than dear and wholesome, grumble very
much at this condition of things ; indeed, exasperated
r.t what they believe to ha the overcharges of the
settlers, they have named their little village Coquin-
ville, in lieu of its proper appellation, and say that it
reminds them of the iniquities of Kamiesch. In the
memories of our ex-Crimean heroes, Kamiesch and
Coquinville are synonymous appellations.

POSTSCRIPT.

THE IMPERIAL MEETING AT WEIMAR.
WEIMAR, Thursday, Oct. 1.
The Emperor of Russia arrived here yesterday
evening.
The Emperor of Austna arrived this morning and
paid the first visit to the Emperor of Russia.
The King of Saxony is not come.
The Vienna Gazette says .—" When the Emperor
Francis Joseph called on the Emperor Alexander at
Weimar the latter went to meet his Majesty on the
staircase. Having embraced and kissed each other,
their Majesties conferred for some time together."
The Times correspondent adds :—" It is now
generally known that Count Buol is in as great favour
with his Sovereign as ever, and Baron Budberg and
his suite are accused of having sent a canard to
Muscovy duck) into the world, when they related
that be bad tendered his resignation. It is not
known to me that anything unusual is going on in
Italy, but this Government evidently suspects the
French Cabinet of having formed plans unfavourable
to the rule of Austria in Lombardy. Many of the
principal Lombard nobles went to Paris shortly be-
fore the Governor-General made his entry into
Milan, and almost xll those who are now in the city
keep aloof from the Archducal Court.

Despatches have been received in Paris from the
French Minister in China. They represent the
situation of affairs as unfavourable, and announce
positively that the Court of Pekin will not agree to
any arrangement.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

It is impossible to acknowleige the mass of letters we receive.
Their insertion is often delayed owing to a press of matter,
and when omitted, it is frequently from reasons quite Jude.
pendent of the merits of the communication.
We cannot undertake to return communications of which we do
not avail ourselves.
Communications should always be legibly written, and on one
side of the paper only. If long it increases the difficulty of
finding space for them.
Whatever is intended for insertion must be authenticated by the
name and address of the writer, not necessarily for publics.

up on the question, and only a small portion of the Cabinet is engaged
officially upon the Indian mutiny. We do not ask for details of their
measure, if they have one, but we ore entitled to ask for " Yes" or
" No" to tho query " Are wo to have a Reform Bill in 1658 r

Reports are prevalent that serious misunderstandings have arisen
at Calcutta between the Governor-General and the Commander in-
Chief. No " serious misunderstandings " exist. Sir COLIN CAMPBELL
has very properly resented an imprudent and uncalled-for attempt to
limit his authority over the army. The country may rest assured that
Sir COLIN CAMPBELL is not the man either to exceed his powers or to
permit them to be encroached upon. At the same time it is not to be
concealed that the presence in the Council at Calcutta of these petty
jealousies and impertinent assumptions upon the part of men, not only
utterly ignorant of war, but who have prayed themselves so incapable in
a crisis demanding that decision of character for which Sir COLIN CAMP-
BELL is pre-eminent, is deeply to be deplored. It may paralyse the
most vigorous measures of the General-in-Chief, and so hamper the
operations of the campaign as to expose him to defeat and disaster
instead of that victory and success he will have a right to expect.
With reference to the command of the cavalry in India, it is believed
that Lord GEORGE PAGET, in preference to General SCARLETI, or to
General JACKSON at the Cape, will be selected.

The Daily News has made itself unusually notorious this week
by a most gross and vulgar and indecent attack upon Lord DERBY.
No one, we well know, can read any Ministerial journal for six conse-
cutive days without seeing some scurrilous calumny upon the Conser-
vative leaders. It matters not what the subject, or what the occasion,
the mode of treatment is exactly the same. The vilest motives and
the most degrading sentiments are freely attributed to any one who
dares to question the wisdom or to impugn the policy of her Majesty's
Government. But if political material happens to be wanting, the
Ministerial journalists have no compunction in assaulting the
personal character of their opponents, and the article
which appeared in the Daily News of last Tuesday is
a specimen of the species of guerilla warfare to which Liberalism is
reduced in modern times. Lord DERBY might well have treated such
nv aspersion upon his character as a landlord and a gentleman with
the silence of supreme contempt. But for once he has condescended
to crush his libeller, and the letter which we subjoin will, we think,
serve to demonstrate the paltry and mendacious spirit which disgraces
the leading Liberal journals in these days :

Dtsmeti.—On and after Sunday, October 4th, )857,
each copy of the Divalch will Le accompanied with a
Coloured Map, a Chart, or the Plan of a principal Town,
so as to furnish to each subscriber, Gratis, a most Coln.
prebensive, Complete, and nsetul Atlas. The size of
the Engravings will be that of one page of the Newspaper.
Six Maps and two Plans, in each year, will be of double
the size. It is hoped, in the course of a short time,
that the " Dispatch Atlas" will contain more names and
positions of places than any other English publication of
the kind. The counties will be given separately, and,
where large, divided. Within the first four months India
will be more accurately and completely delineated, in a
Series of Nine Maps, than in any British Atlas. The
names of the artists will be the best guarantee for
perfect accuracy. The engravings will be in the highest
style of art, involving a cost of Many Thousands of
Pounds. Mechanics' Institutes, Educational Establish-
ments, Hotels, Reading-rooms, and Coffee-houses will, in
possessing the " Dispatch Atlas," be supplied with a daily
want. 'Phis" Dispatch Atlas" will be forwarded gratis with
the Paper at the usual price-sd. per copy, or 6d. stamped.

distant parts of the kingdom on Saturday morning.—Office,

INDIAN RELIEF FUND.

The most liberal subscriptions continue to pour
into the fund from all parts of the kingdom. Meet-
ings are held in every county, city, town, or hamlet,
and a local subscription raised. The sum subscribed
already exceeds 90,0001. Never was there a more
general and spontaneous reply to a charitable appeal.
The committee have published three resolutions,
which, besides stating that aid and assistance will be
offered to all who have suffered by the rebellion,
" when without such aid they would be involved in
pecuniary embarrassments," undertake to provide for
the maintenance and education of children, the
orphans and others, and to assist sufferers both in
coming from or going to India.

iThe Chancellor of the Exchequer attended a
meeting at Kington on Monday, and addressed the
assembly at some length upon the origin of this
rebellion. The right hon. gentleman said that the
proclamation of Nana Sahib showed the cause of
the insurrection "to bo one of religion." He ad-
mitted that the cartridge measure gave an oppor-
tunity to the conspirators " to work upon the simple
minds of the sepoys," but he denied that the " formi-
dable mutiny" had any origin in "misgovernment."
The right hon. gentleman congratulated his hearers
that the insurrection had been " exclusively confined
to the army," end that " the native population " had
shown " no desire to join the mutineets." In another
portion of his speech the Chancellor, with singular
consistency, observed:—

It Is long since the people have been ruled by native
princes, and it is merely a question with thorn whether
the Government should be transferred from the English
to the Alussulman invaders who preceded our rule.
In conclusion, the right hon. baronet remarked that
our Government of India, with 50,000 Europeans
and 940,000 native troops, had for years past been
" a most perilous experiment," and that when the
native army " suddenly turned against us," it was
" hardly to be wondered at that the state of things
should become very dangerous."

THE BELFAST INQUIRY proceeds slowly. The
case for the Roman Catholic party has been brought
to a close. Mr. Hanna consented to forego his
determination to preach last Sunday.
A CROWDED MEETING to discuss the measures of
relief to be adopted for the sufferers in India was
held at Dublin last week. Tt►e proceedings were
marked by the high patriotic tone of the speakers
and the noble vindication of Ireland by Lord Clon-
curry from the abominable efforts of the ultra-
Radicals. _ .

MR. OLIVER MORIARTY has been appointed stipen-
diary magistrate in the room of Mr. John O'Brien,
deceased. Mr. Moriarty is brother of Dr. Moriarty,
the Roman Catholic bishop.
MESSRS. J. F. BULL, JOHN LEAIIY, AND PIERS F.
WHITE, the commissioners appointed to inquire into
the existence of corruption at the last and former
elections for Galway, commenced their sittings on
Wednesday. It is expected that the inquiry will be
protracted. Considerable interest was manifested in
the proceedings.
THE MARCHIONESS OF LONDONDERRY last week
entertained three hundred of the tenant farmers at
Cairnclough hall on her Jurron Tower estates. The
marchioness delivered a very timely and eloquent
address to her guests.

Noble Member for London to broach these
subjects. All his own laurels have been won
in domestic legislation, as all Lord PALMERS.
TON'S have grown in foreign affairs—if laurels
they can be called, and not rather cypress
leaves ! It is fitting that while all the activity
and practical energy and youthful enthusiasm of
the country is projected upon our Indian
catastrophe, there should be at home a band
of statesmen in whose hands social and
domestic questions can be safely left.
Tho public know that we are consistently
opposed to that party of which Lord Jour; Res-
SELL is so prominent a member, and that wo
have over and over again had occaaion both to
censure his measures and to marvel at his
conduct. But he is, nevertheless, one of a
class whom just at the present day we should
be sorry to see growing fewer. And we hail
his appearance in public as a sort of
guarantee that we shall hear from his lips,
with whatever weaknesses mingled, some
testimony to the importance of principles,
some vindication of the creed that there is
something nobler than clay, and something
better than expediency.

that possibly his grace was not fully acquainted with
