Then he again tilts at the Pope :

Bat Austria is not the main obstacle to improvement.
It is one of the grievances of Italy, made necessary by
other grievances. There is the great disagreeable fact of
the existence of the Pope, without the destruction of whose
temporal authority very little real good can be effected.
There is also another fact, still more disagreeable, which
is this, that they who profess to be interested in the for-
tunes of Italy, insist on knowing what the people want
better than the people know it themselves. Every one,
now•a•days, seems inclined to do good to the Italians, but
every one has a particular and favorite remedy. I have
often heard people who have observed the great diversity
of opinion in the peninsula, exclaim in despair :—" These
unfortunates do not know what they want." It is quite
certain that they do not want what we want: or, at any
rate, that we are inclined to thrust our medicine upon
them without studying their disease. At the bottom of all
this is the fear entertained by established Governments of
calling together the only tribunal competent to decide a
question of this kind—a Constituent Assembly.
The practical meaning of which would end in
a "No Popery " cry through Christendom !
Whether that is feasible or desirable, we shall
not here discuss. But we have been amused
with the author's remark (vol. ii. p. 67.), " It is
" not my desire to introduce despair into the
"naiads of the friends of Italy."

Lord J. RUSSELL said, he thought it desirable that
the Government should take an early opportunity of
affording some explanations to the house with regard
to the communications that had taken place with
foreign Governments on the subject of Italian affairs•
On any day that might he convenient to his noble
friend at the head of the Government—probably on
Friday or on Monday—he would move for copies of
the communications to which he referred, and he
would ask the noble lord what fruits might be
expected from the declarations made at the Paris
Conferences.

Creon into the classical manager of a Corinthian
booth, Jason into the " star " of the acrobatic com-
pany, Orpheus into its regular poet and ballad-singer,
and Medea into—Mr. Wright. The story is cleverly
adhered to, and the piece is full of smart Punch
writing. The aim of the author, as set forth in a
prologue, is to let those who do not care to spend a
guinea in a seat to see the "truly grand artist,
Ristori," have—

a notion
Of what is now creating a commotion,
And he adds that—
On two points our own Medea's strong,
It's twice as moral, and but half as long.

The affair, of course, is exempt from grave criticism,
but it is a favorable specimen of what stage tact and
ready wit can do in defiance of difficulties, the chief
of which is that the burlesqued play has been wit-
nessed by a very small portion of an Adelphi audi-
ence, and that the remainder do not possess that
instinct, so curiously evident in French audiences,
of comprehending satire and fun without having its
intention previously explained. The piece held out
even against this, and when it shall have worked up,
and the performers are comfortable, it will be liked,
we imagine, for its own sake. Wright, as Medea,
played with artistic gravity ; Miss Wyndham, as
Jason, looked admirably, and delivered the capital
dialogue with much point; and Miss Mary Keeley,
as Orpheus, acted and sang very piquantly. Mr.
James Bland, as Creon, played with all his accus-
tomed force, and even Mr. Paul Bedford, though in
female dress, as Creon's daughter, was not particu-
larly objectionable. The scenery is very pretty, and
the dresses are quite splendid. We must not forget
to mention that a very smartly-written playbill em-
bodies a goodnatured parody upon Mr. Charles
Kean's fly-leaf of recondite learning and apologetic
antiquarianism.

WE are requested to call attention to the fact that
only three more Friday Concerts will be given this
season at the Crystal Palace. It will be remem-
bered also that the Great Fountains play for the
second time this day at four p.m.

COUNTY COURTS BILL.

Mr. GLADSTONE gave notice that on going into com-
mittee on this bill he should move a resolution to
the effect that it was not at present expedient to im-
pose upon the Consolidated Fund a charge of
170,0001. per annum towards the maintenance of the
County Courts.

ENCUMBERED ESTATES (IRELAND) BILL.

The bill having been read a third time,
Mr. WHITESIDE moved the insertion of a clause
the object of which was to reduce the number of the
commissioners front three to two.

Mr. NAPIER supported the clause.
Lord PALMERSTON said that it was the intention of
the Government, as an experiment, to try whether
the duties of the Encumbered Estates Court could
be efficiently discharged by two judges.
Mr. WHITESIDE was perfectly satisfied with !the
statement of the noble lord, and would therefore
withdraw his amendment.

The bill was then passed.
APPELLATE JURISDICTION (LORDS) BILL.
On the order for going into committee upon this
bill,
Mr. R. CURRIE moved that the bill be referred to
a select committee. He agreed with Lord Palmers-
ton that, although compromises were necessary,
each must be judged by its own merits and its com•
patibility with principle and honour. Lord Palmers-
ton occupied his high position by a compromise with
the Liberal party ; but leadership and allegiance
were correlative ; and though the other night he bad
availed himself of a band of mercenaries, he would
find himself unable to serve two masters. The bill,
Mr. Currie insisted, contained as much mischief and
as little good as could be embodied in the same com-
pass ; it directly infringed the prerogative of the
Crown, and directly took away the right of a peer to
sit in the House of Lords ; and its real meaning was to
settle the question of life peerages, to limit the Royal
prerogative, and to de it up for ever. Whether life
peerages be good or bad, he objected to the question
being settled by a side-wind. He objected, also, to
a court of appeal composed of judges who would try
appeals only; he objected to the scheme that it
tended to corrupt all the puisne judges; and, lastly,
he objected that it was a monstrous sham ; that this
appellate court would be called the House of Lords,
while it would not be the House of Lords, sitting
when that house would not sit.
Mr. E. DENisos seconded the amendment.
Mr. MALiss assumed that the appellate jurisdic-
tion must be remodelled. He should be glad, he
said, if the House of Lords would relinquish that
jurisdiction, but they were determined to retain it;

THE BRAZILS AND RIVER PLATA.

Intelligence from Buenos Ayres 28th of May,
and Rio Janeiro 14th of June, state that a prolonged
peace in the confederate republics was hoped for.
At Rio great excitement had been created by the
publication of a letter which Mr. Stafford Jerningham,
her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at that capital, had
addressed to the Brazilian Minister of Foreign
Affairs, denouncing, by or,ier of our Government, the
conduct of the Government of Brazil in respect of
the slave trade, and threatening to put in force the
Act of Parliament passed in 1815, empowering
British cruisers to interfere for the suppression of
the traffic on the coasts and in the ports and rivers
of Brazil. Mr. Jerningham accused the agents and

657

officials of the Brazilian Government of neglect, and
upbraided the Government, itself with failing to fulfil
its many assurances that the slave trade shall be
energetically put down.

INDIAN EXPENDITURE.

ONE of the greatest anomalies in the Govern-
ment for India as at present constituted is the
subordinate position held by the President of
the India Board in relation to Indian expendi-
ture. While he is unable to order the outlay
of a single farthing, even where the question
is simply one of justice and restitution, the
Directors may waste any amount they like,
though the object they waste it on be such as
he may wholly disapprove of. They may
spend thousands, for instance, in litigation,
and that even in contesting the authority of
the Minister himself. They may give away
what sums they please in pensions or do-
nations, so long as the amount in each
case does not exceed a certain fixed limit.
If the total amount that they can thus dis-
pose of were limited to any stated sum
annually, the thing might be less objection-
able, and so be tolerated. But the limit, as we
understand it, is not a limit as to totals, but
simply a limit as to the sum to be expended
in any particular instance Thus the Direc-
tors are not empowered to give away more
than six hundred pounds in any one dona-
tion, or dispose of more than six hundred
pounds' worth of turtle, champagne, early
peaches, &c., at any single sitting; but there
is nothing, we believe, to prevent their repeat-
ing such gifts whenever they feel inclined to
do so, or renewing such feasts as often as they
think proper.
A very little reflection must show that this
is putting the Minister of the Crown in a very
false position For can there he anything
more monstrous than that he should have no
power of checking the wastefulness of those
who only hold possession of the revenues of
India as trustees for his Royal Mistress? Nor
is it possible for anything to be more absurd
and degrading than that he should be made
responsible to Parliament for an expenditure,
the most objectionable items of which have
been contracted without reference to him, and
very probably in opposition to his wishes?
How, for instance, will he be able to give even
a decent account of his stewardship to the
House when next he lays before it the Indian

PIIBLIC EXPENDITURE.

Sir H. Wn.Lonouny, referring to the resolutions
agreed to in committee of ways and means, com-
plained that the house possessed no information with
regard to the public expenditure of the past year.
The house was in total ignorance of the financial
transactions for the year ending on the :list of March.
There were certain accounts, called the finance ac
counts, which were laid upon the table at so late a
period of the session That hon. members had no
opportunity 6f examining them until after they had
arrived at a decision upon the most important finan-
cial questions. Last year these accounts were laid
upon the table in July, but they were not delivered
to hon. members until the 6th of October, when the
house was not sitting. The house was called on to
declare that there was a surplus of 562,020/., when,
in fact, it had no means of knowing anything about
it. He therefore called upon the Government to
remedy this extraordinary state of things.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, with
regard to the production of the accounts, he might

THE PRESS.

state that the whole of them were in the hands of the
printers on the 4th of June with the exception of
those of the Land Revenue Department. When
completed, he could assure the house that no delay
would take place in having the whole laid on the
table.

Mr. DISRAELI said, what he should like to know
was, why the accounts, if they were ready for the
printer on the 4th of June, were not yet on the table.
They might have been printed in a week. What the
right hon. gentleman said as to the Land Revenue
Department not being prepared with their accounts
was by no means satisfactory, because the question
still remained, why were they not prepared? The
right hon. gentleman had ample power in this
matter, and he should have issued orders to have
these accounts forwarded in due time. At all events,
the house might have had before it other accounts
which were of much greater importance than those
connected with the Land Revenne Department.

NAVAL OFFICERS.

In the evening,
Captain Sconer.i, moved a resolution, that the dis•
advantageous position of the captains, commanders,
lieutenants, and masters of the Royal Hospital at
Greenwich, and of the retired captains under the
orders in council of 1840, 1851, and 1856, and of
the senior commanders and lieutenants of her
Majesty's navy, is worthy of the early and favorable
consideration of the Board of Admiralty.
Sir G. PECHELL seconded the motion, which was
supported by Admiral WALCOTT, who insisted that
there was no justification fur withholding half•pay
from these officers.

Sir C. WOOD observed that it was not in the power
of the Admiralty to grant these officers half-pay. With
respect to the old naval officers, a great deal had
been done for them of late years, by increasing the
rate of half-pay, and he did not see why more money
should be voted for that purpose.
Sir C. RAPIER and Mr. M. CHAMBERS having
spoken in support of the motion, Sir M. BERKELEY
against it, and Captain SCOBELL in reply, the house
divided, when the motion was negatived by 38 to 31.

but inferior qualities have sold heavily, at late rates. Malt has

THE EXPLOSION OF THE DOCKS.

The demolition of the docks still proceeds. On
he 12th one side of another dock was blown in,
with charges of B,ooolbs. of powder :

At about half past one o'clock the fuse was lighted, and
the engineer officers ascended the high ground in rear of
the docks to await the explosion. Owing to the mistake
of a subordinate officer in charge of the wires, three of the
mines were let off prematurely. Five minutes elapsed,
and then the others exploded, not all of them quite simul-
taneously, but in very rapid succession. The effect was
most satisfactory. To reconstruct what was overthrown
would give more trouble than to build a new dock, for the
removal of the ponderous rubbish would of itself be an
herculean labour. The quantity of powder used would
suggest the idea of a prodigious explosion, fragments
flying high into the lair, and strewing the land around ;
but it must be remembered that the force of these mines
is directed laterally, and its first apparent ettect disap-
points expectation. It is only when the smoke clears
away, and one beholds the huge masses of granite that
have been riven from their beds, that one forms a just
idea of the power applied. At the moment of the explo-
sion, however, some blocks of very respectable size were
seen flying through the air, in a direction, fortunately,
where their fall was innocuous. Amid and within the grey
smoke a dust-cloud appearel. There was a tremulous
motion of the ground, and some stones fell off the dock-
yard wall. The engineer officers were highly satisfied
with the effrct produced. Few spectators were there, for
it is never known beforehand, with any degree of certainty,
when these explosions are to take place. A few French
officers were present, some of them with a photographic
apparatus, to catch the effect of the explosion. 'the Rus-
sian batteries were silent. Shortly after the explosion, as
I rode up through the Medan, a few shots were fired ; but
they were chiefly directed at the French part of the town.
For the last few days the Russian tire has been very slack.
They have probably found out that they merely wasted their
powder and shot. When the destruction of the docks is
completed, which will nut be before the end of the month,
I hope to send you a detailed sketch of the whole opera-
tions.—Times cur., Jan. 14.
CAMP OCCURRENCES.

Nothing appears to occur to disturb the tran-
quillity of the camp. The weather is severe and
Changeable. The fourth division are about to
organise a new theatre, and a pack of harriers were
daily expected out. l'aper•hunts and snowballing
still go on. The Russian sharpshooters appear to
be very active :

A few days ago a French officer, wandering too near the

~achernaya River, in pursuit of game, NHA shot (lead by a
Russian sharpshooter. Two English officers, who had
Managed to get in front of the French sentries in the same 1

THE WAR.

TRS health of the army and the state of the weather
appear to be the sole points left for discussion.
Letters up to the 19th have been received. The
disaipline, subordination, and good health of the
c tmp were highly satisfactory. "A drunken soldier,"
writes the Times correspondent, " is a comparative
rarity." The whole army is being carefully instructed
in musket drill ; the Land Transport Corps is
gradually regaining its efficiency, and regular work,
good living, bvarrn clothing, and care, promise to
turn out by spring an active, vigorous, and, for its
number, efficient force. The weather has been
bitterly cold, and report says that the French troops
suffer severely under its influence, as much from
under-feeding as from under clothing. Their hos-
pitals are also said to be more full with cases of
gclatio than the inclemency of the weather, under
proper precautions, should give rise to.

The destruction of the docks was proceeding, but
very slowly. It was not anticipated that their entire
demolition would be completed fur some weeks.
On Wednesday, the 16th, an armistice was de-
clared for some hours.
At Kertch the Russians appear to have initiated
an attack across the ice, but finding General Vivian
well prepared they drew off.
With the capture of Kars operations appear to
have ceased in Asia ➢linor. General Mouravieff had
retired to Gurori with his main force, leaving only a
few regiments to hold Kars. Omer Pacha was at
Soukhum-Kaleh, ancPwould not return to Constanti-
nople. His army was suffering much from exposure.
Prince Gortschakoff, in relinquii.hing the com-
mand of the Russian army, publistied an ordre du
jour, extolling the bravery and self-denial of his
troops. General Luders had succeeded to the com-
mand.

Telegraphic accounts from Paris, of the 31 st,
state :

Official despatches from Constantinople assert that the
war preparations are carried on with the utmost activity.
Omer Paella's suggestions have been approved of.
General Shirley had sent orders to Schumla to prepare
quarters for troops who are to be despatched thither in
the spring.

grading to England. He therefore moved an amend-
ment that the meeting bad no hope of exacting an
indemnity from Russia, or obtaining fit terms of
peace, " until the present Ministry are deprived of
office and impeached." Mr. Hart seconded the
amendment. He believed an impeachment of the
Minister who offered such terms of peace would be
a glorious example, and the means of securing
honesty for the future. The people of England, who
once brought a king into open court, tried him, con-
victed him, and rolled his head ou the scaffold for
treason to England, were not to be satisfied with the
treasonable terms of peace now offered :

This was the anniversary of the day when that execution
took place, and let it not be said today that they were
unworthy of their ancestors. Let them rather bring
treason to light, whether it was couched in the palace of a
prince, or the cottage of a peasant. Let the guilty person
be brought forward, tried, convicted, and let execution
follow.

Mr. W. J. O'Connell said it was curious that some
time ago Lord Palmerston was called to the head of
affairs with the universal approbation of the people
of England, and he feared it would form a bad pre-
cedent if a resolulion for impeachment were to be
agreed to by this meeting. Several other speakers
claime,fl t 9 be hears, but the meeting grey( impatient,
the amendment was put, and carried almost unani-
mously, amidst great cheering.

In this novel there is both talent and feeling. and many
faults of character and follies of society are cleverly exposed."—

" There is much to admire in this novel. The incidents are
well chosen, the dialogue is spirited, and the plot is sufficiently
intricate to excite interest without being confused."—Daily

THE WAR.

Mr. 13ENTINCK adverted to some questions arising
out of the war, and commented at some length upon
the recent aspects of Russian trade.

Lord J. RUSSELL, after explaining that his educa-
tional resolutions were designed to elicit some general
bill from the Government, proceeded to eulogise the
heroism of the army, and trusted that it would be
recognised by a formal vote of thanks from the house.
After a few words from Mr. Roebuck, the Address
was agreed to, and ordered to be presented by a
deputation to her Majesty.

LAW OF PARTNERSHIP.

The house went into committee on the Partnership
Laws, and Mr. Lowe obtained leave to bring in a new
bill on the subject, containing amendments, of whose
nature he gave a general outline.
Mr. COLLIER, Mr. MALINS, and other members
having made some remarks on the details of the
schemes, after which leave was given to bring in the
bills.

The house resumed, and adjourned at half-past
eight o'clock.

nobility," real old Commoners, whose rank
the Crown never gave, and never can take
away, like the Egertons, Gore Langtons,
Howard Vyses, Palk!? and Knightleys.
We must e*pkess ddr gratification that the
brilliant Member fok Hertford, Sir EDWARD
LYrrox of Knehworth, was amongst that
goodly Company. Sir JOHN PAKINOTON and
Sir Jona TaoLtorE were also there, along wit
Lord BARRING TON, Lord NEWPORT, LON
ELmutt, Lord LoVanit, Lord GALWAY, and
estimable representatives of the families of
Yorke and Clive.

We repeat, never previously has there
been seen so powerful an array of wealth and
connection at the table of an Opposition
leader. To have been the host of such a
company was an honour which might well
nerve any Englishman with manly pride. No
one now can dispute the moral power which
rallies to the call of the Member for Bucks.
Such a union destroys all falsehoods about
dissensions, circulated by mercenary whis-
perers. We all recollect how Sir ROBERT
PEEL confessed his pride at being at the head
of " the gentlemen of England," yet he never
met Parliament with a more united party in
the Lower House than that represented by
the distinguished guests who last Wednesday
assembled at the board of Mr. DISRAELI.

THE PIIESS.

The difference which exists in several important par-
ticulars between the commercial laws of Scotland and
those of the other parts of the United Kingdom has occa-
sioned inconvenience to a large portion of my subjects en-
gaged in trade. Measures will be proposed to you for
remedying this evil.

Measures will also be proposed to yon for improving the
laws relating to partnership by simplifying those laws, and
thus rendering more easy the employment of capital in
commerce.

The system under which merchant shipping is liable to
pay local dues and passing tolls has been the subject of
much complaint. Measures will be proposed to you for
affording relief in regard to those matters.
Other important measures for improving the law in
Great Britain and in Ireland will be proposed to you,
which will, I doubt not, receive your attentive considera-
tion.

Upon these and all other matters upon which you may
deliberate, 1 fervently pray that the blessings of Divine
l'rovidence may favour your councils, and guide them to
the promotion of the great object of my unvarying solici-
tude—the welfare and the happiness of my people.

THE ADDRESS.

The Commons' Address in reply to the Speech
from the Throne having been brought up by Mr.
Byng, . .

Sir J. PAKINGTON complained that no reference
had been made in the Royal Speech to the important
topic of national education. He regretted to find no
hint of any Government measure for the extension
of popular instruction, and remarked that even Lord
John Russell had given notice of nothing more than
a series of resolutions from which no practical
result could be anticipated.
Sir G. GREY admitted that the subject was omitted
from the Royal Speech because the Government were
not prepared with any comprehensive scheme of
education. Some minor measures were, however, in
preparation, which would speedily be laid before
Parliament.
