controversial and patriotic theology, may pro-
bably be able to express his ohesdul
views of " hen and hereafter" with greater
clearness and precision. For the rest, Ire need
only look at the internal Mats of the Church and
its relation to other religious communities to feel
the propriety and justice of Lord PauaraeroN's
modest suggestion that his ecclesiastical appoint-
ments have rendered the Church a happy family.
From the Church, where all is peace, the noble
lord turns with visible reluctance to the world,
where, it must be confessed, unsanctified passions
do still occasionally break out. Like the dove,
however, sent forth from the Ark, he finds amidst
• troubled world • congenial resting-place for the
sole of his foot in the pacific policy of her
MAIISTY'S Government. At the outset of his
allusion to secular subjects he bolds forth an
olive branch to the professed opponents of war,
intimating that, while hardly prepared to join the
section reputedly in favour of peso at any price,
his own views were, after all, substan-
tially identical with those of that much-
maligned party. Lord PALICEBSTON is persuaded
that these friends of pesos, if they thought the
interest and honour of the country were
at stake, would join in its defence by
whatever means, personal or otherwise, they
could command ; and Heaven forbid that either
he or the Government should ever do more !
They had, it is tree, been sorely tempted to de-
part from their pacific polioy--first, in the case of
Poland, and more recently and in a still more
urgent manner by the unequal struggle in Den-
mark. The noble lord, however, had self-denying
virtue enough to resist these strong temptations,
and remained faithful to his mission as the friend
of humanity and apostle of peace. While thus
claiming on behalf of the Government enor-
mous credit for having kept out of hos-
tilities in Europe and America, Lord
Psr.rrtaeroN omitted, no doubt through inadver-
tence, to state whether the Government bad been
equally successful in our own outlying stations and
dependencies—such:as New Zealand and the Gold

Coast, for example. Without touching on these
comparatively trivial matters, he concluded his
address as he began, by a touching homily on the
arts of peace and the national prosperity they pro-
duce, intimating very justly and seasonably that
the main business of the Governmemt is to afford
every facility for the development of these art.
At Tiverton, Lord Parmxszrox appears as the
political Prospero drowning his book, breaking
his staff, and abjuring for ever the rough magic
which convulsed the elements. If this wonderful
transformation is due merely to change of scene,
Devonshire must be a perfect Arcadia, and the air
of Tiverton be fanned by breezes from the Blessed
Isles. Having, however, at length seized the crook
of peace, and betaken himself to a pastoral life,
we trust that " England's great octogenarian
" Passim," as a local contemporary felicitously
puts it, will henceforth abstain from the mischievous
pastime of frightening the simple townspeople by
unseasonable cries of " Wolf, Wolf !"
