THE LONDON DRESSMAKERS.

Ir was with much pleasure that we recognized
Lord SHAFTESIU on Tuesday last, again in his
own peculiar and appropriate sphere, engaged in
prompting and organizing a benevolent movement
in behalf of a truly pitiable class. The right man
in the right place is a rare as well as a welcome
sight. That it is rare, however, arises not merely
from the corrupt or injudicious use of patronage.
It is at least equally due to the false appreciation
by individuals of their own gifts and qualifica-
tions, the longing of the round man (to borrow a
quaint old illustration) to stick himself in the
three-cornered hole. Men generally—and the
remark is at least equally true of the female
world—pique themselves most on something
which is not their recognized forte. CICERO
diverts Rome with bad verses, and FREDERICK
the GREAT bores French savans with philosophi-
cal correspondence. Misapplying SHAKESPEARE'S
profound saying, that

To have done, is to hang
Quite out of fashion, like a rusty armour
In monumental mockery,
aspirants for distinction set down what they
have undoubtedly attained as little worth, and,
instead of using it as a basis for further success
in the same line, cast it behind them, in the
sudden desire to gather laurels in some more
attractive, because comparatively untried, field.
And thus the public interest suffers doubly by
the loss of a tried and skilful worker in one de-
partment, and by the errors of a half-trained
amateur in another. • Lord SHAFTESBURY
has long occupied a position as honourable
as it was useful. In philanthropic exertion he
was facile princeps, at least among the English
laity. His exertions on behalf of the factory
operatives might alone have entitled him to the
nation's gratitude, but his benevolence was multi-
iorm and comprehensive. The rescue of child-
hood from ignorance and vice, the raising the
condition of the adult operative by training htm
to self_respect through the influence of domestic
comfort, the care of the sick and needy, the diffu-
sion of the Gospel—in short, the enlightening of
all the dark corners of the earth, came within
the scope of his efforts. Even his strongest
opponents admitted his Christian excellence.
But there was a momentary deflection. Biasied,
for a time, by personal predilections and per-
sonal distastes, Lord SHAFTESBURY took what,
for him, was a novel course, and in which he
gained no laurels. We rejoice to welcome back

"THE GREAT LIBERAL PARTY."

WE ought, we suppose, to believe in the ex-
istence, and in the power, of " the great Liberal
party." It is a thing often put forward in
certain journals, as not only existing, but, practi-
cally, ruling and governing.
Yet surely the phrase "a party" implies, of
necessity, certain things. A fortuitous concourse

of atoms could not be a castle or a cathedral ;
nor could 500 Members of Parliament, going to
Sheerness in a steamboat for a naval review,
properly be called "a political party." Two
things seem necessary to constitute "a party "
two at least; we will not say that others might
not he named. These two are,—a cause, or a set
of principles or objects, for which a body of
men agree to contend ; and a leader or leaders,
under whom they consent to act.

Our "great Liberal party," then, may fairly
be asked, first, to tell us what are their aims
and objects ; and, secondly, who is their leader

POSTSCRIPT.

FRANCE.
PARIS, Friday.
A rumour circulated yesterday in Paris that an.
other attempt at assassination had been made at
Fontainblean, and that several Italians were arrested.
This, it is declared, is false. Again, It was said that
though it was not true that an attempt had been
made, yet some persons were caught in the act of
fabricating grenades. This again subsided into
three or four suspicious people being taken into
custody. To-day the story runs that the Sardinian
authorities bad given notice to the French police of
the movements of six persons who had come from
Rome, and were coming to France for a criminal
purpose, and that two of them were arrested on the
road, two in l'aris, and the remaining two escaped,
and have not yet been found. This we believe to
be nearly the true version.

LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE.

HOUSE OF LORDS.
SALE OF POISONS.

The second reading of the Sale of Poisons Bill
was moved by the Earl of DEBBY, who gave an out-
line of the provisions contained in the measure.
Earl Granville, Lord Campbell, the Earl of Hard-
wicke, and other peers briefly commented on some
details of the bill, of whose principle general approval
was expressed.
The motion was then agreed to, and the bill read
a second time.

PASSPORT DUTY.

On the motion of the FOREIGN SECRETARY, the
Passport Duty Bill, by which the stamp duty on
passports was reduced to sixpence, was read a second
time.

THE PAROCHIAL REGISTERS DILL.

This bill passed through committee on the motion
of tho Loan CHANCELLOR.

INDIA.
The Marquis of BREADALI3ANE inquired touching the
relationship between the Governor-General of India
and the commander-in-chief. He followed up his
question by reading extracts from papers, from which
he inferred that the conduct of military operations
had been seriously hampered by civilian interference.

The Earl of DERBY said that in official position the
Governor General was altogether paramount. He
did not believe, however, that civil power had ever
interfered injudiciously with the conduct of the war;
but observed that circumstances must often arise in
which political considerations of great importance
necessarily occurred by which the progress of warlike
operations was materially influenced. In these cir.
cumstances the chief requisite was that the Governor-
General and commander in-chief should hold con •
fidential intercourse and proceed in cordial
co-operation with nne another. Such he was assured
had been the state of relationship between Lord
Canning and Sir Can Campbell.
After a few remarks from the Earl of ALBEMARLE
and the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the subject dropped,
and their lordships adjourned at six o'clock.

ROUSE OF COMMONS.
THE WINDING.UP ACTS.
Mr. BRIGHT having inquired whether it was the
intention of the Government to bring in any bill
remedying the defects of the Winding-up Acts, so as
to prevent the funds of dissolved companies being
absorbed in unnecessary litigation,
Mr. HENLEY stated that lie hoped very shortly to
'iv on the table some measure for the purpose indi-
cated.

I OPERATIONS IN CHINA.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL urged some inquiries touching
the present state of our relations with China. He
asked why a 11ritish army of 13,000 men was left at
the disposal of Lord Elgin, that force being so much
larger than was supported by our French allies.
He observed that the Europeans had obtained
pntr.inu into Canton, which was the original ground
of dispute, and wished to knew what further object
it was ziow sought to accomplish.
EIVART inquired for what special reason
the lion. and Hoy. A. lluocornbe had been appointed

THE PLEBS,

Tip; visitors have delivered indgment on the
appeals of Dr. Shaw and Mr. Carmichael from the
censures of the board. The appeal of the former
gentleman is dismissed. Mr. Carmichael's offence
is considered of far less magnitude than Dr. Shaw's,
and the visitors have, accordingly, dealt leniently
with him. The judgment of the visitors is that the
sentence be reversed. On Thursday judgment was
given on the alleged malappropriation offers by the
senior fellows and provost. The Vice• Chancellor
announced the decision of the visitors, declaring that
the complaint could not be supported ; the usage of
sixty years affording to the court sufficient evidence
of the legality of the present application of the reve-
nues. The proceedings then terminated.
THE office vacated by the death of Mr. John
O'Connell was on Saturday last conferred by Lord
Eglintoun upon Mr. Ralph S. Cusack, barrister,
and Chairman of the North Union Board of Poor
Law Guardians. Mr. Cusack's services to the
Dublin Conservative party fully and fairly entitled
him to the preference over all the other candidates.
He was the great guiding spirit of the Registry
Courts, and chiefly to him is the Government in•
debted for four stanch supporters in the persons of
the city and county members. In addition to these
claims he is generally popular, his ultra-Toryism
notwithstanding.

CRAVINGS OF THE HOUSE OF

COMMONS.

Foe a long time it has been a common remark,
that the House of Commons was overburdened
with work ; and that one thing so jostled another
that it was only with the greatest difficulty that
any business at all was finished. Yet it is this
same assembly which seems now smitten with
the disease imputed by the witty Canon of St.
Paul's to "Lord JOHN." One day it requires to
know why a particular clergyman was appointed
to the Deanery of York. The next, on an
inquiry into the manufacture of muskets, it is
gravely proposed to send a committee down to
the factories and workshops. that the members
hay see how guns are made. But the great
achievement of the House, within the last few

FORBEARANCE OF THE WHIGS.

" SUFFERANCE" was the favourite phrase a few
weeks ago. It was dinned into the ears of the pub-
lic daily and nightly, that the Government lived
upon it. It was their only means, their only
resource, and when it was exhausted their
organization was to be dissolved, and they were
to return to their original elements. We took
some little pains to expose the adsurdity of this
representation, and by degrees the phrase has
been dropped, and " forbearance " has taken its
place. We were accustomed to hear that the
Government existed by the "sufferance" of the
House of Commons. Now we are told that they
are living by favour of the " forbearance " of
Lord PALMERSTON and Lord JOHN RUSSELL !

It may be worth while to give a little consi-
deration to the characteristics of forbearance. A

cobra with its fangs drawn is forbearing. Indeed,
it becomes, we know, in that condition more than
fbrbearing—it may be made familiar and tame.
A leader among the predatory class, when fairly
caught and in durance, is forbearing. In fact, as
we know from the evidence of gaol chaplains and
philanthropists, the most resolute and astute of
the class in prison are more than forbearing—
they are very models of conciliatory deportment,
and are the mildest-mannered and most engaging
of men. We cannot say, however, that we
should be disposed in either case—either in that
of the snake or the Pet of the Predatory Army—
to attach much value to a forbearance which
is the result of impotence rather than of new prin-
ciples of action ; nor should we like to rely upon
its continuance if there occurred a restoration of
ability.

Lord l'Ai.mEits-rox and Lord JOHN RUSSELL
claim to have exhibited this virtue of forbear-
ance in a most ample and generous manner, and

THE PRESS, JUNE 5, 1858.

Mr. Henry William Herbert, a literary mania
some ability in New York, has committed suicide
by shootings himself. His father was Dean of Man-
chester. Previously to emninitting the ant he wrote
a lengthy address to the press of his adopted
country; also one to the coroner. Domestic diffe-
rences appear to havo prompted him to self-destruc-
tion.
London, England, 1858-06-05

had but 99 followers. Clearly, therefore, he ig
no leader of the Liberal party.

If, then, that party is to be assumed to have
any leader at all, it must be Lord PALMERSTON;
for when he summoned, recently, a meeting at
Cambridge-house, to consider of a plan for
ejecting the present Ministry, there was an at-
tendance, in answer to his call, of more than
200 members. This, certainly, has more the
appearance of party organization than is per-
ceptible elsewhere. If there be any leader of
the " great Liberal party," it must be Lord
PALMERSTON.

But when we take this view, immediately we
are met by a strange and most untoward fact.
"The great Liberal party," as far as we can dis-
cover, has at this moment five practical propo-
sals before Parliament-
1. The abolition of Church-rates.
2. The Ballot.
3. The
4. --

Now, strange to say, our Liberal leader, Lord
PALMERSTON, judging from his past votes and ex-
pressions, has a decided repugnance to nearly every
:One..of thesoiprePopls. SP Shit? While thg.NT,‘•
means fighting, he means surrendering--whili
they desire to march against the enemy, he is in
correspondence with that enemy.
We speak of Lord PALMERSTON as we have
seen and found him. We know not how high
he may now be prepared to " bid for place."
We are told that, when the Liberals last met at
,411 f
Cambridge-house, a sturdy Radical said plainly
•to the would-be leader, " You must turn over a
new leaf, my lord !" and was answered by a.kind
promise that a new leaf should-be luring
'Over ! Lord PALMERSTON may, therefore,
seriously mean to concede all that the ultra-
-Liberals demand. Ifso, his conscience must be very
-fiexible, and his desire for place.very strongoOttr
remark goes merely to this—that, so tic. 'as are
can judge from his past deeds and words, 4e
objects desired by the Liberals are not desired
by him; and his own views and predilections
would rather induce him to oppose every ono
of these plans, than to help forward the , least
scintilla of, any of them.

gravely and seriously proposed, that the House
of Commons, having reduced almost every other
department of the Government under its control,
shall take the army, also, out of the hands
of the Crown, and place it in the hands of some
one accountable to Parliament. By the narrow
majority of two votes, it was affirmed by the
House of Commons, " that it is desirable that
"the administration of military affairs by a
"great officer responsible to the Crown alone,
"and not immediately amenable to Parliament,
"shall cease." This is assuredly an important
change, and this must now be set down as one of
the main objects of Liberalism.
Here, then, we have five distinct proposals,
and we do not at present see any more ; though,
doubtless, others will arise as these are conceded
or disappear. Questions concerning the details of
the India Bill, or Bankruptcy or Law Reform,
cannot become party-questions in the ordinary
sense of the term. The present programme, at
lemit, of the Liberal managers, seems to offer

leadeis of the party. Without organisation,
without a captain, it is idle to talk of a party at
all. Three or four hundred men, who were sup-
posed to hold what are called " Libenll views,"
. . .
but who had no plan of operations, and DOI

known, accredited head, could never with any
truth or propriety be called " a party." Has, then,
what is now termed " the great Liberal party,"
that organization, that submission to an acknow-
ledged leader, which is so plain an essential to
its practical existence for any useful purpose ?

We all know that about three weeks since,
somebody invited the " Liberal Members of Par-
liament " to hold a meeting in " Committee-room,
No. 11." Such a meeting was held, and about
120 attended. But when a declaration of prin-
ciples was suggested as an expedient thing, the
bulk of those present shrank back from the pro-
posal ; thinking it undesirable. A plainer con-
fession could hardly ha\ e been made, that even
these 120 were not agreed among themselves as
to the objects which they regarded as worthy of
pursuit. And, practically, when an important
question came betbre Parliament a fortnight
after, half of the 120 went one way, and the
other half the opposite. There was no organi-
zation, no leader or guide, here. The "advanced
Liberals," then, or " the independent Liberals,"
whichever they choose to be called, are hardly to
be considered as " embodied."

Can Lord JOIIN RUSSELL, so long Prime
Minister, and leader of the House of commons
—can he be put forward as the present leader of
the " Liberal party" ? Unquestionably not.
Once, in the present session, he ventured to
assume some such place. He spoke vehemently,
and divided the House, against Lord PALMERS-
ToN's Conspiracy Bill, in February last. Ile
London, England, 1858-06-05

Now, in asking for the objects or principles of
" the great Liberal party," we must not be put
off by vagua generalities, or unmeaning *res.
We must gis to the • proceedings of• ParliamAtt.
itself; and learn from those records what are
the practical proposals mooted in that assembly
by those who are regarded, and who describe
themselves, as Liberals and Reformers.

Two or three days since, one of the most pro-
minent of the Liberal journals thus indicated
some of these propogals

:-

"PARLIAMENTARY REFORNk—Three motions
on this subject are on the eve of coming under
discussion in the House of Commons. The bill
for the abolition of the property qualification
will go into committee on Wednesday, the 2nd
!mt. ; Mr. BERKELEY'S ballot motion stands for
Tuesday, the Bth ; and the CrtAxcvaxoß of the
EXCHEQUER has granted Thursday, the 10th, to
Mr. LOCKE KING, for his bill for the extension of
the county franchise. The conduct of professing
Liberals will be narrowly watched by the Party
of Progress on all three of these occasions. The
three votes will be a trial of the union among
Reformers and of their numerical strength in the
Rouse of Commons. Absence from the divisions,
except under unavoidable necessity, will be held
to be as serious an offence as awrong vote."
Here, then, we have gained some light. Three
proposals are actually before Parliament, upon
Which it is expected that all Liberals will unite.
This, however, is but one phase of Liberalism.
Another very prominent object with all who so
call themselves, is—the abolition of Church-rates.
On this question, the whole fraternity of Liberals
art required to appear and vote, on Tuesday
next.

A fifth point was started in the House of
Commons on last Tuesday evening. Up to this
tune, for centuries past, the sole control over the
army has been left with the Crown. But now it is

A DISGRACEFUL RIOT occurred at Belfast on
Sunday last. At four o'clock on that day a funeral
procession passed from the celebrated Pound to
Friar's Bush graveyard to inter the body of a woman
named Hackett, daughterin-law of one Hackett,
chairman of the ex-Gun Club, Belfast. On return-
ing, auout six o'clock, in the same order the young
women carried green boughs, and as they passed
through great Victoria-street one of the girls put a
branch which she was carrying into the face of a
person passing, telling him at the same time to
"smell the green." This was the signal for a row,
and the offenders were pelted with stones, and some
women were knocked down and beaten. The dent-
zens of Sandy-row then rushed out in a bndy,
and the fight became general. One of the con-
stabulary was beaten severely, his nose having
been broken with a blow of a stone, and his
ar split. The combatants then went tip to
Found into
Dr. and, as the people were going
Dr. Drew's church, they were attacked and beaten.
This drew out the Protestants of that locality, and
another stoning match fo:lowed. A body of con-
stabulary subsequently arrived at the scene of
hostilities ; they, too, were fiercely attacked with
stones, and at length Mr. Tracy, tho resident
magistrate, was compelled to read the Riot Act,
and directed the constabulary to fire on the mob.
Just as they were about to obey orders a young man
entreated the magistrate to give him five minutes,
and he would endeavour to get the crowd to disperse.
fhrough his timely interference the.mob broke up,
and hostilities were terminated without any shots
being fired. Several of the constabulary were
severely wounded, and of the five magistrates who
were out not one escaped without receiving blows.
These riots have continued with more or less
utensil the whole week.

THE EXAMINATION OF THE ACCUSED.

The name of Charles Douniol, the publisher of
the Correspondant, was then called. He rose and
presented himself at the bar. He admitted the pub-
lication of the article as !grant or director of the
Correspondant, but stated he had no knowledge that
it contained any guilty matter; that he had acted
with perfect honesty ; and that the article was pass3d
as usual by the Secretary of the Redaction. The
President then called upon M. de Montalembert to
stand up. In the midst of the deepest silence he
did so, standing by his counsel, and his hand repos-
ing on the desk, on which were laid some papers and
a number of the Correspondant containing the in-
criminated article. The President said,—
What is your name ?—Charles Count de Monta-
lembert.
What age ?—Forty-eight.
What is your profession ?—Former Peer of France.
Where were you born ?—ln Paris.

A FEARFUL MURDER has been committed at
Andover. It appears that on Tuesday a man,
in the employ of Mr. Parsons, on his re-
turning from a wall• on the Salisbury-road, and on
passing a field, the property of Mr. H. Footmer, saw
the body of a man, apparently dead, lying in Cie field.
On arriving at his employer's he told one of the
shopmen that he was going to the police-station, as
be had discovered the body. He then got the assist-
ance of a constable, and went to the field, when he
found that the body was that of his employer, Mr.
Parsons, lying on his face with his skull smashed to
atoms, and his face fearfully disfigured. On a search
being made a quantity of blood was found, and other
marks which seemed to indicate that a fearful
struggle for life had taken place. On searching the
body the money and watch were found quite safe.
No reason can be assigned for the brutal act. The
perpetrator of the murder is still at large, but the
police are using every endeavour to discover the
assassin.

THE DUKE OF HAlarros met with an accident on
the 12th instant, near Brodick Castle, Arran, while
engaged, along with two gentlemen, in the cover in
pursuit of woodcocks. One of the gentlemen, in
firing at a woodcock—not perceiving that the duke
was in the same direction,—discharged his piece and
bit his grace. The pellets are small which are used
for this description of game ; but one entered his
shoulder, two his left hand, and a fourth struck his
right eyebrow, and penetrated to the bone, running
an inch round, and lodging in the outer angle of the
eyebrow. His grace has been confined to his room
for some days, but the effects of the injuries are
happily disappearing quickly.
A MOST DISTRESSING CIRCUMSTANCE, resulting in
the death of Madame Kinkel, the wife of Professor
Kinkel, who resided at Eastborne Terrace, occurred
on Monday. She went up to her bedroom on the
third floor, and was shortly afterwards found dead in
the back garden, having fallen from a height of forty-
eight feet. It is supposed that she had opened her
window, and, in leaning out, had overbalanced herself.
DIFTHERIA continues its deadly ravages in various
parts of the kingdom. A painful case has occurred
at Salisbury, where Mr. Carter, son of Mr. Carter, of
Brentwood, his wife and child, all lie dead from this
lisease.

TIIE POPULATION of the kingdom of Sardinia,
according to the new census, comprises 5,194,t407
inhabitants.

As EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SELF-MUTIT./TION By
A SOLDIER, with a view of disqualifying himself for
rattler military senice, has just taken place at
Chatham garrison, a private of the gist Regiment,
named George Drover, having deliberately shot off
his right leg by a ball from his Enfield rifled musket.
The occurrence took place in one of the barrack-
rooms of St. Mary's iiiirracto4, where the 81st depot is
stationed. The man, who is of a moody, sullen dis-
