ays.that the dootrioes of baptismal

absolutism by tie priest, and the like, arerital prin-
cipler, cm which no concession is possible, and that •
stsoceesfal attempt to reduce the present strength of
their expression in the Prayerthook " would be •
party triumph, as certain to be followed by
" a serious disruption as that the • sun will
" rise to-morrow." His lordship does not tell
as either where the seceders would go to, or why
they should leave the Church at all; but his language
enables as to judge of the vain, to a church of
men who will only remain members on condi-
tion that they shall be alloweAl to impose a yoke on
the necks of their brethren. His lordship's words
are singularly harsh and bitter for the beginning of
a controversy. Referring to the petition of the 460
clergy, he says : " No doubt there are two kinds of
" peace—one from mutual concession and forbear-
" ante, the other after a war of extirpation. If
" these gentlemen wish for the latter it is not impos-
" sibte that they may get it."
We might inquire of the noble writer what kind
of peace exists already, or is likely to exist, apart
hem questions of liturgical revision? But, there is
• third kind, which he has not mentioned—the peace
of desolation, the peace of a large empty church,
such ns St. George's-in-the-East was before it
was filled by rioters. Bat it would be foolish in
evangelical churchmen to forego any advantage in
the expectation that there can, by any amount of
forbearance, be a real peace between men who hold
the sufficiency of Scripture as a guide to salvation,
and those who teach for commandments the tradi-
tions of men. Lord EBURV may not succeed, but
he is at least working in a spirit of comprehension
and charity which will be its own reward.

Tuscans !—King Victor Emmanuel has acceded to mar
edges, and, strengthened by the tights with which be is
thereby invested, be will plied our cease before Europe.
Thanks to this great act, Tuscany again becomes an
Italian land, without any vestige of foreign dossinke.
Atm so many ages of division and discord, the
provinces of the Peninsula spontaneously unite under
the magnanimous defender of Italian independence.
The brave inhabitan's of the Subalpine valleys,
the enfranchised brethren of Lombardy stretch out their
band to Tuscany. and all proclaim themselves eons of
the same country. Our old thirsty renown Is joined to the
military force of Piedmont ; every Italian race adda its tees.
scree to the common patrimony. That is not a provincial
vaaaalage—it is the real constitution of the nation. Let
us rejoice at having lived long enough to be present at
this sublime 'spectacle of concord, and to gather fu first-
fruits. Let us persevere Moue efforts, and prepare ourselves
for every trial in order to secure the triumph at so jut
sad glorious oasis.

gr. Liarnme addreeeed the meatiest/ at exasidarable
With, bat his speech related chiefly to 1 tad politics and the

of E 4 recent election:

Mr. BRIGHT proposed the following resolution
"That In the opinion of this meeting the great question
of parliamentary reform. !emptying a more faithful repro-
seatatios of the people, ter punt yof election, a wiser and
momwanaaloaleapadlenareaf 'labile money, and an ad-
ministration of national affairs more consistent with national
Interests, demands the immediate attention of the levels-
ture, and ought not to be postponed beyond the first oppor-
'mit, for a satisfactory settlement." . .

The hon. gentleman ccenmeneed with comparing the votes
and tte policy of the English parliament with the wishes
and rights of the people since the/peat reform of 1832. Poe
many years pot th•ea had been only mated eassions; "and
I am so diorama" he continued, " so weary, so disgusted.
and at' the times so hopeless, that I often at the eed of a
mks' samion think myself a I'M above all other fools for
spending my time, my labour, my life in the Hom of Com-
mons, and am half resolved, as a duty to myself sad my
family, to seek the only office that possibly I may ever hold
—the aim of steward of the Chiltern Hundreds. (A

laugh.) -

from parliament and to owe 'Mowing in a field
where there is no soil to grow meriting, and
upon which neither the shower falls nee the ens shims."
Approaching the cut jest of the miabliatud church he re-
marked as to charat-rstes, th►t publio opinion was formal
and expressed long in anticipation of the change of the law,
and he knew mot at what distant dative wisher:pent par-
liament to do something to remove the monstrous awl
shameful Inconsistencies and forqualitlea" which are con-

netted with the diatribwion of the enormous fuels a the
church. The law of primogenital,* was a relic of feudalism,
and though the Veneer of lead G to complex and bewilder-
ing, parliament cannot be induced to alter it. In military
affairs it was the unlearnt opinion that the Horse Gouda

management of its 12,000,0001. and of the vest forces ender
its direction is • reasagement whereinterest and jobbery reign
supreme, and where interest of the nation at largo, and fair
dealing to eU applicants for preferment are very little oca-
ebbed." Ina fres country like this I wonder that certain
things an permitted which now exist. I have been engaged
for tie last two months in procuring the discharge of •
soldier, if I may cell him so, for be is not a man nor, in-
deed, • young man, but • boy who was only fourteen years
sad a mouth or two old whets he was entrapped by the
recruiting sergeant. It barn taken the father of that boy, I
believe, since last April or May to procure his discharge, and
it has only beau obtained at length on *cc .nut of the urgent
remonstrates, that I made; for memoviel atter memorial has
gene to the Horse Guns and to Me Royal Highness the
Dab of Cambridge, which memorials have been replied to
the tinsel fashion, nearly meaning this-0 We have
got your son in our barracks; he Mu taken the oath; he
he. taken the @billing ; and, be he man or boy, we will
keep hint there." Mothers—for there are arras mothers
here—think of • boy of 14 years of age being mat In the
strestaby one of then unmitigatedecoundrels—("bar,hear,"
and langhter)—and being asked, " Ars you wanting ajob f"
" What do you want me to do i" rays the boy. " Ob, come
and bee soldier." " Bat I em too little." "No ynn ere
not; you are jut the right height." " Well; bat
I am only 14." "Never mind that; say you me
18, and it will be all right." Think of this, cad
then that it requires two months of oorrespoodwww, sad
memorials, and protests, and remonstranors before this boy
of 14 can be brought back spin to the home of his parents.
(Shame I) But have you not seen within the last day or
two what they do with their recruits when they get them?
Ran you read in the papers the sicoonnt of the brutal dog-
ging of one of these young recruits down at Woolwich f I
