SPORTING

A SPDCIAL EDITION of the " EXPRESS,"
mollaining the malts of the day's Reese, is Tomb-
eau! emery evening daring the Sporting Season, at
oh ego*.

IT is ad surprising that the more combative
membme of the privileged class whose national
policy hes been so unsparingly mailed by Mr.
BRIG= should eagerly rush to its defence. We
have already heard Lord SHAMS/Kiel) volunteer,
vincliosties of hit order, which, according to him, is
the oak erf the political earth, and whose unselfish,
unpretentious, and unremunerated services he would
kis hover regard as the manna of the desert, in-
scrutable is its origin, continuance, and capability of
supplying the wants of men. The noble Earl seems
to haws thought that however closely identified he
may have been with the late Administration, whom
belligerent and prodigal tendencies Mr. BLIGHT
has se feqsamtly impugned, their vindication had
better be left to themselves ; whae be reserved to
himself the task of defending the House of Peers.
We have now another, and, in his own opinion,
doebtleis a mach more powerful obampion of 'risible-
evade ufhllibility. At a meeting to inaugurate a
new Town-hall at Dundee the Deka of ARGYLL,
amording to him wont, pronounced a patronising
speech, of somewhat less than the meal length, bat
characterised by more, if possible, than the mad
admixture of easimosplaco platitude and preten-
sion. That the ex-Postmaster-Oeneral should
he found ready on all occasions to glorify the govern-
ment of which he was a member is natural enough I
sad that he should think the opportunity
peculiarly fitting when he had the ex•Secretery
for War in the chair of a meeting professedly called
for an unpolitical purpose, and when on the platform
he saw meted him other ex-officials and supporting,
nobody will marvel. Considering the ominous re-
ception given the other day at Edinburgh to Mr.
&Ace, when he wintered to defend the French
policy sl Lord PA tuttarros abroad and his exclusive
Nyman at home, it may well have seemed to the
Viecoust's Scotch allies and associates ►igh time to
make some show of a rally ; and hence the well
planned ambuscade end annotated occupation of the
platform at Dundee.

Bat his Grace of AEG TLL is evidently impressed
with the firm belief that he was born into
this world not only to be the greatest
of Postmastere-General and profoundest apolo-
gist for hereditary right, but to occupy the
supreme seat of political judgment amongst
men, and to exercise the power of pronouncing
sentence upon the character of statesmen, princes,
and nations. It must indeed be highly gratifying
to the people not only of this esantry but of Francis
and Americo, to feel that the Mac Ctri.Lre Moan has
their condition and destiny in his keeping. He
dote not vouchsafe to tell any of them very mush of
what he has discerned through the mist of his Jove-
rery cogitations. He has made up his mind as re-
gards ourselves, that we are not in a declining state,
became the influence of every class in the oosims-
nity, to a greater or leas extent, is felt by every
other. Here is wisdom! And this is what the
Duke of ARGYLL, after long preface and standing
for half an hour on ambitions tip-toes, gets out at
last, as an answer to the allegations of Mr. BRIGHT
that we spend too much money in making war, and
too much money in aristocratic jobbing in peace.
As for the Preach, he stands up like a true clans-
man for his Imperial Chief. The world knew all
shoot LOUIS NAPOLEON before he became our
ally : nobody has any right to be squeamish,
therefore, se to the intimacy or unreeerve to be
placed in him. About Slave-trading revivals or
bullying. of Portugal there is not a word; and even
the feeble sham of a vague regret at Prue prosecu-
tions is carefully guarded, lest, perhaps, any honest
or manly word should fall untimely, to grate on
Imperial ears while two of the Duke of ARGYLL'.
colleagues are favoured guests at Compiegne. But
the French people are not to imagine that aught of
this proceeds from any respect or consideration for
them. Quite the contrary. Oar Imperial friend is

It cannot be needful for us to repeat our wide
dissent from many opinions promalgated by the
hon. Member for Birmingham. We know and we
are often saying, that he is apt to confound the alum
of power with its harmless exercise ; and that by his
indiscriminating denunciation of all our historic
