Insignificant as the session was in regard to
Achievement, and as to any encouragement to
Liberals in and out of Parliament, it was a season
of strong emotions, frequently renewed ; and it
was, therefore, a session sure to be remembered
better than some that were more fertile in deeds.
The Houses met in mourning ; they met also in
rejoicing that the immediate danger of war was at
an end. There was some strong feeling about the
Education question ; more about the menacing
Lancashire distress ; and most of all about
the question of our bearing in the American
case. Then came the news of the raids of the
Merrimac and the Monitor, throwing into con-
fusion our ideas and purposes about the defence
of the country. The lively controversy between
Mr. COBDEN and Lord PALIMISTON was an evi-
dence of the excitement existing at the moment.
Then arose the perplexity what to think and
how to act about Canada, after the re-
fusal of the Canadian Parliament to pro-
vide for the defence of the country in the
mode and degree proposed by the Government.
It has since become well understood that there
were reasons for declining to peas the particular
Bill quite apart from any unwillingness in the
colony to do its duty to itself and to the mother-
country ; but the first impression was painfuL
There was nothing in the session to be proud of,
or to build any political hope upon ; and the
Legislature closed its work as gravely as it began
it. Mr. Vimasas held out the hope that the
Lancashire distress would diminish from October
onwards, through abundant arrivals of cotton from
India ; but few were so sanguine, and the mem-
bers dispersed, hoping that the Rate-in-Aid Bill
would prove a saving resource, but aware that
before they met again the country would be deal-
ing with a calamity comparable only to the Irish
famine and fever.
The prospects of the harvest had been darken-
ing since the early spring. When the Houses
rose for Easter it was remarked that there had
been no cessation of rain and fog in London for
six weeks. In the blossoming season of April and
May, and again in the blooming time of the cereal
crops, high winds and blighting weather cut off
the promise of the year. A few effective fine days
in ripening time, and then at harvest, saved a
portion of the crops ; and the bad yield of the
wheat and barley is compensated for by the pro.
digious amount sent us from America, in the ab-
sence of the ordinary commerce of the two coun-
tries, and under the embarrassment of the high
price of gold iu the United States. Thus we have
been spared the worst consequences of an ungenial
spring and summer. The weather has, however,
remained gloomy and stormy to the last. In
October it frustrated the last hope of saving
much of the oat crop iu Scotland ; it pre-
vented the Qualm and her family from
returning home from Germany for above a week;
and the hurricane of the 19th caused fearful
disasters at sea, while the rains flooded
lands which should have been under tillage in
several counties of England, as in various districts
of the Continent. The bitter frosts early in No-
vember showed us what a task we had in hand in
preventing the Lancashire sufferers from perishing
with cold. Milder days followed ; but there has
been stormy weather up to the last week of the
year, strewing our shores with wrecks.
In the spring there was a sudden revival of
agrarian crime in Ireland. The world was shocked
by hearing of murder upon murder of landowners,
agents, and tenants. A special session was appointed
for the trial of the persons arrested ; but the old
trouble still exists—the difficulty of obtaining evi-
dence, or any support of law and justice,
from a superstitious and intimidated people. There
have been other vexations about Ireland, from the
revival of open religions animosity. The Belfast
riots were provoked by Protestant bigotry, and
some other demonstrations would not have bees
made, as everybody believes, if Mr. CARD-
WZLI. had been Chief Secretary to this day. We
did our duty at the time in warning Lord PAL-
amairrox of the peril of appointing Sir R. Pm to
an office requiring the very qualities is which
he is deficient, and offering temptation to the in-

The only measure of importance recommended
in the Royal Speech was that for facilitating the
Transfer of Land, and it became one of the few
notable achievements of the session. It remains a
disputed point among the lawyers and the land-
owners whether the Act will work ; but there can
be no question of its having began the reform in
the treatment of land as a saleable article, which
will be carried through before long. The debates
on the Education Minute ended in a spiritless and
mischievous compromise which the country may
yet rue ; but it may be hoped that the mere stir
occasioned by the question may have acted as a
warning against the danger of raising up vested
interests adverse to those of the nation. The main
question is, in fact, deferred—to be argued again
at a greater disadvantage by the Government of
the day and the friends of • really effective
popular education.
As for the rest, Gloucester and Wakefield were
restored to electoral privileges ; recognition of the
American Confederacy was refused ; the Thames
Embankment was secured, after a debate far from
creditable to certain parties. The most conspi-
cuous and practically mischievous disgrace of
the session was the Game Bill, which shows that
the evil spirit of territorial tyranny and selfish-
ness could still be awakened by the mere mention of
game. One or two of the representatives of town
constituencies kept the House sitting till 4 a.m.,
and used all the forms of the House to defer the
final vote ; but it was in vain ; and the police are
now to be employed in the protection of game.
We were consoled at first by the assurance that
the Bill would not work, but the proceedings of
certain country justices on game cases during the
autumn have shown how little hope there is, under
this Act, of peace in our villages, or justice to
anybody, peasant or poacher, who may chance to
be accused by the police and tried by game-
preserving magistrates.
In the Upper House, the Loan CHANCELLOR
carried his Bill for the abolition of the Queen's
Prison, which was of no further use under the
new Bankruptcy Act. The Insolvent Court was
closed on the 27th of June; there has been a

Our losses by death this year have been re-
markably few, though some men of mark have
fallen both in this country and abroad. Of the
latter Count NMMELRODE has gone at last. Our
own great loss in the political class was Lord
CANNING, but we have lost also Sir THOMAS
WYSE, who was one of the earliest and most
effective promoters of popular education.- Sir
Br-NT-TA/0N HAwss was once a good Liberal, and is
remembered for that. Two of the RICARDOS and
EDWARD GLIMON WAKEFIELD did society good
service as political economists ; Foams MAcx/c/s-
-zu will be remembered for his Scotch Temperance
Act of doubtful virtue; and Mr. BLANEY
for his championship of any class of poor,
of children, of the helpless in any way on
whom law or custom bore hardly. Colonel
BAIRD SNrrn's name is bound up with the
regeneration of India, as that of Sir Joan 'Nous
with her rescue from the wreck of mutiny. Gene-
ral Blares, the brother of Lord ELGIN, is more
known as the Prince of WALEs's governor than in
other relations in which his merits were not inferior.
The Church has lost two Archbishops—of ARMAGH
and of CAMTERBITRY ; and one of the significant
signs of the times is the difficulty encountered in
filling the ecclesiastical offices vacated in conse-
quence. The headship of Eton is so nearly con-
nected with the Church that we must notice here
the death of its Provost, Dr. "'AWE/MY, so long
associated in all minds with the school. The aged
Pima BAatow, as fine a type of the mathemati-
cian as our age could show, has died in his function
at Woolwich. Sir B. BRODIE, the head of the
medical profession in England, and Mr. WALLEY,
a very active member of it, have departed.
The most restless spirit among us was,
perhaps, Dr. WOLFF ; and he has gone to his
long sleep. He will live in the traditions of
many Eastern lands. Admiral Sir Jams Ross,
the Antarctic discoverer, is gone ; and • pair of

In default of other news, I will give you the political pro-
gramme of the ministry, as expressed by its principal mem-
bers to those who have the honour of their intimate
aoquaintance. The principle of the external policy of the
Farini cabinet is the absolute independence of Italy. It is
averse to close connexion with any power, but wishes to
be on good terms with all. Italy is now too Wong to be
treated as a nullity ; she will therefore patiently await
the coarse of events, and choose her alliances according
to circunntanoes. Italy relinquishes none of her
aspirations, but will not attempt to precipitate the
march of events. She will hold herself ready to profit by
every opportunity that may offer, without binding herself
by any previous engagement. Bet the ministry has no in-
tention of breaking with Francs, which it still regards es
Italy's best ally. As to home affairs, the ministry will look
for support to the parliament alone, in which it is con-
vinced that its whole strength lies. It considers itself es
the true expression of the Chamber of Deputise, to which
'lt owes its birth, and it will not belie its origin. The ultra
parties will be firmly kept within bounds ; but if eases.
tional measures should prove necessary it will not hesitate to
apply to the chambers with the confident hope of obtaining
them. 3f. Peruzzi, who must be regarded as the real heed of
the cabinet, has the utmost faith in the parliamentary sys-
tem. He is convinced that the full development of that
system is the best means of consolidating the unity of
Italy. Of course no effort& will be spared to strengthen the
administration, to restore the finances, and to organise the
new kingdom. But that thought must be common to ell 1
possible ministries. The practical application of the mea-
sures that may be taken will aloes enable us to judge of
their merit.
