land. lfe cannot be about to bring iu any such measure us
that. herause he would wit la• justified in stirring up the

oliest feelings, anti in rousing in this country a spirit of con-
troversy and of polemical dispute which meals the days of the
Stuarts, and the end of which none of us may lise to wit-
ness the termination of. Therefore, the noble boob, as a
iw and sagac" loan, has weighed the great advantages
winch he contemplate. in his statesmanlike measure ..grind
the sast evil. a hich his course hail hitherto alone produced.
That is the measure which I, for one, expect the noble lord
to produce. That he is going to revalue- merely the insig-

fie bitter to do nothing (hear, hear) ; and even
at this last hour, to endeavour by doing nothing
he ii•ipease the excitement which •he has caused.
lint if the noble lord is prepared to do a great
prtpared to noise the gnat political pneble in, which
may not lie incapable of slution, but which no minister yet
has succeeded in solving, then indeed he may have been
justified in the mare which he has taken; then indeed be

the government then attributed agricultural depresmon to

noble lord, the organ of the government in the other house,
aboolutely laughed at the apprehension. we then enter-

undertook in a moment of political prophecy to announce,
that there would he no further iinportations of foreign

a mistake—one that is but too common in thin and another
house of parliament—in inferring that wheat prices regu-

ease, no man in his arose. will now content!. (Cheers.) I

of the session, it has, in reality, but a couple of
months for business. And this business is chalked
out for it, as neither more nor less than to register
the income tax. We may surely say that this won't
do. And even if it did dl for the present. and that
the session was thus got through with a non-
result, the effect upon the country would be
a disgust and a reaction, not like the reaction
of '49 and '3O, but resembling and far outstripping
the onward career of l5:10 and 1,4:11. It is said that
we arc in a " lull ;" in other words, the tide is full
out, and the moment is coming when it turns.
Public opinion is this tide: it has ebbed for the last
three years in a conservative and calm direction.
But, we repeat. it is on the turn; and a government
that idly slumbers or unwi,ely resists will infallibly
i
be camel away.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3.

AFTER all it must be admitted to have been both
decorous and wise to refrain from placing in Ler
MAJESTY'S mouth a denunciation or threat of punish-
ment against persons, who, however they may have
foolishly, vainly, or criminally insulted the dignity
of the sovereign, and denied the independent right
of the country to choose and to maintain its creed,
are still more or less identified with nunthers
of their co-religionists, to whom no thought
could be more foreign than the setting up of
dignities in rivalry with the sovereign, or of powers
in hostility with the state. The public voice on one
side has declared the universal feeling; the govern-
ment on the other announces itself prepared to le. irelute in accordance with that feeling. Parliament
will decide what restrictions or guarantees are neves-
siny. We must own we shall be diaaimointed if WI
this is to end in a mere proscription of titles, unless,
indeed, the purpose lie, by depriving flume and its
nominees of the gew-gaws and playthings they are so
proud of, to bring them to submit to conditions of sonic
equality with other sects nod en. tis. The extension
of the proposed bill to the United Kingdom, thus
including Ireland, is another serious consideration,
since there is a manifest difference between denying
and revoking, and since the Roman catholic esta-
blishment has Mr different claims in one country
front those which it can rationally put forward IS
the other. Until we !war, however, what the bill is,
and what are the arguments of tho m:nistcr for
proposing it, it is as well to refrain from
conjectural judgment. Two very extreme and power-
ful speeches were delivered in the two houses of par-
liament, the ono by Mr. Roimuck, deprecating in-
terference of any kind, denying alike the necessity,
the expediency or the right, and accusing the Prime
Minister of inconsistency with his past political
• life by such retrograde measures. Mr. Itomvues,
I, however, partly answered himself when he declared
that the question, and the motives of it, with minis-
! Mrs, was not a religious, but a political one.
And how fur his arguments partook of com-
mon tense may be judged from his alleging
that, if Mr. Itomiteic chose to proelaint him-
self an Aso, this was quite as important as
1/r. WISEMAN assuming the dignity of cardinal,
under the appointment of the Foci, with lemitine
authority not merely over the Roman catholic Sutra,
hut the protestant 'hind of England, which was as-
sumed at no distant day to become necessarily catholic.
Whilst Mr: Rot:Beek thus saw neither danger nor
menace in any hierarchy with any amount of autho-
rity, Lord STANLEY seemed to say, that nothing
would satisfy hint but abolishing Roman catholic
bishops altogether. And he denounced Lord Jolts;
Ittssiiti. with future vengeance, if he did not make
a clean sweep not merely of that half of the synod
of Thurles who were for suppressing Irish education,
but even of the other half which protested. Let us
hope that parliament will find souse medium between
ltoinreit and STANLEY.

If that which most engrosses the attention of the
day was lightly touched upon in the spetrh, the
topic which comes next to it in importance was not
of a nature to be dwelt on. We allude to finance.
Silence on the subject was, however, redeemed by
the promise of the financial statement so early as
the 14th. We regret to say, that we hear no rumour
of any large or well-digested plan, the income tax
being brought forward in its present shape, no elle-
Vlldilal. Noce that of the window tax held forth, and
even a house tax threatened in lieu of it. We
cannot conceive the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUER coming forward with so bald a scheme, which
denotes nothing in the way of economy, and not a
solitary experiment in favour of trade. There is,
moreover, that ominous paragraph on the sub-
ject of agricultural distress, which in itself
puzzling and alarming, is not rendered less so by the
elucidation of the hon. mover of the Address. Never,
it seems, were agricultural labourers in better or
more active employ, yet the capital which employs
them is represented as unproductive. We sincerely
trust that the admissions in the speech may not
serve as powerful arguments in favour of the motion
for which Mr. DisatELl has given notice on the
llth.
Of foreign affairs, fortunately, there was not much
to say. Tines, who complain ihut pique and proto-
cols, and negotiations with the powers of the conti-
nent, abstract the attention of the public from more
important topics, will this year have no such com-
plaint to make. We are at peace with the continent,
Russia not having left us a corner for British influ-
ence or example to make itself felt ; and Lord St.%N-
LET taking the opportunity to boast and rejoice in
this. Our constitutional ideas have been fairly shut
out by a continental blockade ; mid we much nustake
if our commercial intercourse does nut suffer in
the same proportion. And those who applauded
the reactionary and absolutist advance of Austria
from the Danube to the Elbe will find that her high
tariff marches in after her armies; and whilst
Austrian bayonets and artillery go first. Austrian
customs officers and Jesuits bring up the rear. The
speech, however, promises the preservation of free-
d.om in the separate states of Germany. We will
not gainsay so glad a promise from her MUEsry's
lips, but we must own to sad misgivings as to the
nature and reality of that freedom. It was kind to
mention Sardinia, though but in reference to the re-
newal of our navigation treaty, which expires this
year. It is one of the last states in Europe in which
constitutional monarchy struggles for existence.
It is plain from the paragraph which relates to
Brazil, that the zeal and activity of that country in
repressing the slave trade will be made to serve as
an argument quite as efficient for keeping up the
blockading
.squadron on the coast of .tfrica, as the
former supineness of Brazil in the same duty was
made to serve precisely the same purpose.
The rest of her MAJE,TV4 speech concerns chiefly
the lawyers and their profession, destined certainly
to undergo considerable reform and curtailments in
our day. We marvel indeed, that the profession
remains so quiet under its manifold, though just in-
flictions ; and that it does not turn on the other
classes, that are mulcting it of its gains, shearing its
importance, and simplifying those labyrinths which
made the legal profession so powerful as pos-
sessing the only clue. In France it was by setting
the lawyers against the church first, and then
against the noblesse, that revolution in the social
power of that country was mainly brought about.
But lawyers in England seem reluctant to turn
against the landed interest and the feudal humbugs
by which the profession has lived and risen. We are
promised a registration of title and an easy transfer
of land. The lawyers could, certainly, devise the
means for such important reforms. But somehow
or another they always break down when they try,
and declare the thing impossible.
On the whole, these are but barren promises for a
session, and almost verify that jeering salute with
which the Times meets parliament. That journal tells
it that, between the papal aggroaaioa at the com-
