Opposition victory on Captain HAYTER'S amend-
ment is far from being an improbable contin-
gency.
Let us then assume by way of hypothesis, that
the result which we have admitted to be on the
cards has actually COllll to pass. What in that
case would be the courses open to the
Government, and what the influence of
each of them upon tho future of the
Liberal party I We dismiss as unworthy of serious
argument the suggestion, which is sure to be
pressed upon Ministers from several quarters, that
they should bow to the decision of the House of
Commons, and withdraw the Reform Bill for the
present session. It is, we confess, quite incon-
ceivable to us how Liberals of any shade of

worth having.
Referring to the government bill, the Telegraph calls
upon her Majesty's government to sound no uncertain note
about the significance of the division which is now
imminent. If they arc defeated, and if they tamely ac-
quiesce in that postponement of reform for which the
majority of the house is really manmuvring, Lord Russell
will not only lose all claim to support from the liberal
party in or out of parliament, but he will crown a long life
spent in the service of the state with an act so derogatory
to his name that no previous services will suffice to remove
the stigma.

opinion can really entertain any such notion.
Even if we were to grant that the section of the
party which opposes openly or secretly the passage
of the Government measure is the true exponent
of the Liberal creed, we should still say that such
a submission on the part of the Ministry would
be incompatible alike with their own charac-
ter and with Liberal interests. In fact,
the question at issue between the Government and
some of its nominal supporters is far more im-
portant than the question between the Govern-
ment and the Opposition. If Mr. Lowe and the
Liberal seceders have caught the true traditions of
the party, then Mr. GLADSTONE is no longer its
proper leader, and any attempt on his part to
continue in that position would only expose him
to the secret contempt of the malcontents by whose
sufferance he remained in office. Which of the
two statesmen really represents the Liberal party
is for this purpose a wholly immaterial inquiry.
All that need be established is, that there is
no fellowship between them. If Mr. Lowy
is in the right, Mr. GLADSTONE is a re-
volutionary demagogue—if Mr. GLADSTONE is
right, Mr. Lows is a Tory in Liberal clothing; and
on either assumption it is time for the party to be
rid of one or other of them. If the verdict of the
present Parliament is to be taken as conclusive, a
defeat on Captain Harrsa's amendment can only
be followed by a Ministerial resignation. The
country would have to regret the consequent loss
of a certain amount of valuable legislation ; but
there are times when the cleansing of the machi-
nery employed is of more importance than the
actual quantity of work done ; and at this mo-
ment the Liberal cause would be far more pro-
moted by the thorough purification of the party,
than by its indefinite continuance in office. Power
may be bought too dearly, and the sacrifice of
honour and consistency would be a high price to
pay for any imaginable number of useful Acta of
Parliament.
But is it quite a matter of course that the ver-
dict of the existing Parliament must be taken as
conclusive upon the points in dispute f Would a
fresh appeal to the country during this present
mummer be such an act of wanton tyranny as it is,
not quite unnaturally perhaps, represented to be
by members with uncertain Beata and expensive
tuencies f We venture to think that under
)posed circumstances of the case a dissolu-
nild be a perfectly legitimate expedient for
mvernment to resort to ; and we think so for
reason. If the Reform Bill should be de-
' by the votes of the Conservative party,
would undoubtedly be no room for ques-
the decision of the House of Coin-

minds of the electors last year,

We mentioned last month the basque h ceinture
as being one of the greatest novelties, and we must again
refer to it, as there is no doubt it is a fashion that will be
very much adopted as the warm weather sets in. The
newest style of cutting these basques is in imitation of the
Greek tunic—not the basque of last summer which was
simply cut up the back ; now they are cut up on each
side, made short at the back, and in points more or less
long on each side, ended by a tassel : hut this style
is one only suitable for quite warm weather. In the
meantime, and also for the duller days of summer,
the small paletlt of black cashmere, very short and
loose, with a small hood, is exceedingly fashionable ; it is
entirely dotted over with a jet bead embroidery, and
trimmest with guipure or sometimes fringe. This kind of
paleta is also made in silk, but that is much less stylish
than cashmere. It is quite sso established thing that white
dresses will be extremely in favour this season, whether of
muslin, silk, pique, &c.
Much has been said lately of the robe fourreau—shorter
than the skirt, scalloped round, and not draped : we be-
lieve this will be much worn for travelling or country dress.
There are two ways of making this toilette ; the first con-
sists of the skirt, robe, and jacket, all of the same mate-
rial ; the second, on the contrary, has the skirt of a bright
colour, the robe of a neutral shade, and the jacket either
to match the skirt or the robe fourreau. As regards
the trimming of these, the robe should be plain—
simply a row of buttons down the front. and just
scalloped or edged round with velvet or galon of
passementerie. The chief care is betowed on the
skirt, which must be about a quarter of a yard
longer than the robe, and is often elaborately trimmed
with guipure, passementerie, fringe, &c. Tho jacket,
when it is like the skirt, must also be trimmed round, and
up the seams, to match ; but if of the same shade as the
upper robe, it must merely be edged and piped.
Nearly all the dresses at present used for walking cos-
tume are looped up over skirts of the same, or of the
style thus described, called fourreau. There is still
another way, of looping up the dress rather high on each
aide of the front, and leaving the train in its full length ;
but this can only be admitted for more dressy toilette—
not certainly for simple walking dress. Our Parisian
neighbours set us the good example of never allowing
their dresses to trail along the streets.
We may describe the bonnets of the present season under
two names—the " Lamballe" and " Panchen." It is true
in the class " Lamballe" we may hear of "Is tarte," " is
galette," " le Trianon," "le caprice," &c., but they are all
of the same family ; that is to say, merely a small round
on the summit of the head, trimmed with wreaths of the
tiniest flowers, long floating strings of tulle or ribbon, re-
quiring the hair to be well dressed, as that, arterial, forms

We read in the city article of the Times :—" The
statement in the Paris Temps that negotiations are in pro-
gress for an advance by the Bank of France to the Bank of
England is not correct. The suggestion for such an advance
has been discussed in banking circles on both sides, but
has not been formally brought before the Bank of England,
and in any case the step would now be deemed unneces-
sary. In the height of the crisis, however, it might have
proved beneficial. The Bank of France, with its almost
unprecedented accumulation, would have found goodprofit
by a loan to us at a rate very much below that which we
should have been glad to pay, and so far from any popular
repugnance being entertained to the transaction, it may
be hoped our people would have been conscious that every
opportunity for the mutual interchange of good offices in
commerce and finance between the institutions of the two
countries is to be regarded with satisfaction."

the principal part of the coiffure.
The " Fanchon" is almost as universally a favourite—a
graceful coiffure covering the head rather more than the
" Lamhalle," although even with that the back hair is
generally left uncovered, although a fall of blonde or soft
crown of tulle is often added. This is also trimmed with
wreathe of small flowers, put on at the top of the head,
with small bandelettes of the same, and long strings of
tulle or ribbon, so as to approach the " Lamballe" as
nearly as possible. They are each made of straw, or tulle
and crape, or even of silk and crape ; but the trimming
most in favour is small bouquets or wreaths of flowers.
The hats preparing for the season differ from those of
last year ; the crowns are wide and flat, and the borders
are much wider. They are simply trimmed with wreaths
of flowers. Velvet strings floating at the back, and square
veil of gauze. There are, however, several styles, such as
the " Trouville," "Biarritz," " Mandarins," "
&c. ; the two first of these having the borders raised at the
side, edged with velvet worked with beads or straw, and
I trimmed with feathers. The " Mandarin "is quite round,
with narrow flat edge, trimmed with a bias fold of velvet,
I and hanging ornaments of straw or jet. An ornament of
straw in front, on which is placed a green butterfly with
silver wings. The Clariase," of straw, with a scarf of
gauze round the crown, fastened under a large rosette of
gauze, trimmed with feathers from the throat of the pea-
-1 cock.

The Journal de r Aisne states that the Minister
of Public Works has awarded a gold medal of the first
class to Albaret and Co., of Liancourt, for the construc-
tion of a steam coach to run on ordinary roads. This
steam coach lately descended the hill from Lon to the
railway terminus at the rate of five miles an hour, and
afterwards ascended the same hill in eight minutes with
a weight of five tons. The trial was repeated with so
much success that it is now ascertained the steam-engine
can draw a weight of 30 tons on an ordinary road at the
rate of from three to four miles an hour.

modern Greek worship, has resulted in the condemnation
of the peccant publisher, who has been sentenced to 61
days incarceration in the Zaptieh prison. In accordance
with this sentence, Mr. Misailides has been arrested, and
is now expiating the reform zeal of his late editor in the
company of the thieves and cut-throats of Stamboul"
We read in Galignani :—" The Abb4 Pandits,
63 years of age, principal chaplain at Bieetre, was walk-
ing in the Rue Vaudamme the morning before last, when
he was accosted by a gentleman who asked him the hour.
Re replied, Ralf-put 11—the hour of my death ; never
mind, lam ready—sustain me !' And before this latter
request could be complied with he grew pale, tottered,
and fell to the pavement. Medical assistance was instantly
procured, but he had ceased to live, and the doctor
declared the cause of death to be the rupture of en
aneurism."
