The Herald also endorses the sentiment aI the recent
egassord chimes, end truer these who ere tneired ti'
make alterations will lay the case before their Norm and
act on his directions. If such an appeal should result in
various rites and ceremonies, who could complain, when
such has always been the normal state of ritualism under
Romish and protestant systems alike?
The Star draws attention to the varieties of opinion
which have been given by the able lawyers consulted by
the English Church Union upon all but one of the ques-
tions respecting ritualistic practices, and adds that the
longer these problems remain unsolved the more clearly
will it appear that the subordination of a great religions
institution to secular courts and judges is an ano-
maly so mischievous that everyone really solicitous for
the purity and expansive growth of the church will at last
strive to secure for it that freedom and independence
which it unfortunately does not now possess. This boon
once obtained will enable it to revise its Liturgy, to order
and arrange its services, and to increase its catholicity ac-
cording to the free will of those who worship within its
I pale and subscribe to its doctrines.

for disorders which neitherthey northepoliceean be
sure of wholly controlling ? Would it not have
been more fair, more considerate, to have gone
among them long ago, to have made friendly ac-
quaintance with their class, their organization, and
their wishes, and then to have admitted them to
the share of power they are fitted to exercise,
rather than to say no to every demand until the
time comes when they are obliged to show that
you dare no longer use such a word ? And if still
any uncertainty remains, ought not at least every
facility to be taken for dissipating it--ought not
meetings to be invited rather than discouraged—
ought they not to be attended by all honest men
of every class who desire to know each other—
ought they not to be made so easy that there
shall be no chance of disturbance, and as little as
possible dislocation of other hominess
But to the hypocritical section of the anti-
Reformers we must put other suggestions, and
rather expose their policy than hope to change it.
What is their object in seeking to attenuate the
significance of what has been already done?
What other effect can it have than to make neces-
sary another demonstration, larger, more em-
phatic, more imperative than the last ? And what,
in the end, can be the result, but to excite and
perpetuate the angry class hatreds at which they
are ever professing to tremble t And how much
more is to be needed ere we come up to the point
that will satisfy the critical intellects that despise
last Monday's work ? They spent days before in
deprecating the assembling of 200,000 men as
perilous to London, to the nation itself, and they
now pretend that, because the 200,000 did not all
assemble, the affair means nothing. They try to
persuade us that the march of a superb army of
workers of four miles long through the streets of
the metropolis is a thing that needs no regard ;
that the demand made by 25,000 able-bodied,
and as yet orderly men, for what they deem rights
they are excluded from unjustly, is a matter to be
disregarded, because there may be others who did
not assemble at that moment to join in the de-
mand. What is this but to tell them that they
shall not have by orderly means what they claim ;
that they are so weak that they may
still be mocked ; that they must cry more
loudly and more fiercely, if they mean to be
heard f This is the selfish, vain, impotent dis-
honesty of last session reproducing itself, only in
times that are grown, thanks to its temporary
success, tenfold more serious. It flung out the
Bill because it pretended the people did not want
it ;it shut the people out from Hyde-park when
they desired to express their wishes ; it sent them
to Fulham when they sought for a meeting place
in London ;it still asserts they are but half-
hearted because only 25,000 went. And it will
be this dull denial of plain facts, this stupid
effort to resist seeing, which will make needful
something that will take no denial and cannot
be overlooked. If when Parliament meets, its
members have to pass through an assemblage of
60,000 fixedand determined faces—if Hyde-park be
taken for a place of meeting—if there be alarm and
disturbance which no precaution can obviate, the
fault will be with those who are telling us now
that what has been done as yet is too little to be
of effect.

LONDON, TBUBSDAY, DECEMBER 6.

nom are two classes of the opponents of the
late Reform Bill between whom we have always
drawn a distinction, and the recent Reform de-
monstrations are daily making that distinction
more broad and clear. There are those who are
honestly timid, constitutionally fearful of the
future, alarmed at the unknown. Such as these
are not bigoted, but nervous—not jealous, but
apprehensive—not selfish, but only ignorant.
They have no dislike of the working man ; they
have no scorn fur his want of external polish—no
sneer for his enthusiasm, even when it passes the
bounds of strict taste. Not only so, but they
have no mistreat of him, so far as they know him.
And consequently they speak with perfect good
faith when they say they would wish to see the
beat of the working classes admitted to the suffrage.
But their error—and they must pardon us if
we also say their fault—lies in that they
do not know, and they have never tried
to know, how very large is the number
who come in all essential qualities up to that
standard. They have come in contact with their
own gardeners or bailiffs, with a few superior and
fairly educated farm labourers—with, perhaps,
the village carpenter or blacksmith, or with one
or two well-conducted, steady artisans of the
nearest country town. With the instinct of
Englishmen they have recognised in these men
Englishmen like themselves, and with the frank-
ness of Englishmen they have felt and acknow-
ledged that there was no reason for the political
gulf which separates them. But they have
not recognised that those with whom they
thus came in personal and pleasant contact
are but average types of hundreds of thousands
as honest, as respectful of all that deserves
respect, as intelligent, as liberal-minded, as
open to reason and sensible in judgment as
the few they have met. And so they have,
out of a mere vague terror of what they did nut
know, refused the extension of the franchise which
has been asked. But their terror has not made
them dishonest. Therefore, when they saw thirty
thousand of the working men of London pass I
under their eyes, showing in countenance and '
bearing that they too were intelligent, orderly,
rational men, capable alike of understanding and
of reasoning, no more has been needed to effect a
conversion. And we cannot doubt that there is
many a peer, many a squire in the Tory ranks,
who thinks now very differently from what he
did on Monday moniing last—who is convinced,
not against his will but greatly to his own com-
fort, and who, if but party " honour" will permit,
will show by his votes th it ho is no longer afraid
of his countrymen—now that he has seen them.
But there is another and a very different class,
who sin not without light but against the light,
who are not English enough to respect English
worth even when they see it, to whom success in life
is the sole god, and poverty the one unpardonable
crime that includes all. These are the men, re-
cruited alike from both sides of the House, who
flung out the Bill of last session—not with honest
opposition, but by resort to every subterfuge of
hypocrisy. They are the men who find one period
too excited for discussing the subject, another
showing by its tranquillity that the matter is not
cared for by anybody ; who object to a partial
measure that it is incomplete--to a complete mea-
sure that it is too large ; who move amend-
ments of detail that involve destruction of prin-
ciple ; who would add provisoes that would make
the enactment unworkable ; who call upon one
Ministry to stay in though defeated, on another to
announce no policy, and endanger themselves
by no measure. And what is thus done in Par-
liament is backed and commended by a portion of
the press, which brings a scandal on its name,
which with poor wit and covert insolence sneers
at the manliness it cannot understand, and labours
to preserve the social privileges into which it has
crept by flattering the mean minds of its patrons
with exhibition of a snobbishness greater than
their own. To all this party and its abettors the
demonstration of Monday is a thing to be turned
into ridicule and contempt. The smallness of the
numbers, the strong language of the speeches, the
mud, the rain, the pickpockets, are the materials
for small gibes, and the whole occasion is improved
as a text for assuring us, first, that the working
men do not want the suffrage, and next, that they
shall not have it if they do.
We have a few words of counsel to address to
each of the classes we have described. To the
first we would say, with all respect—Rave you
treated, are you now treating, the men you have
found to be so worthy with common fairness ?
Yon assumes them to be dangerous, why did you
not go among them before now and examine if
they really were dangerous ? You assumed that
they were indifferent to Reform, why did you
compel them to take such a way of exhibiting
their earnestness You are ready now to admit
that they are worthy ; but is it right, is it con-
stitutional, to fail through mere ignorance to re-
cognise that fact, and through mere carelessness
to act upon it, until you have compelled them to
resort to " pressure from without," to put their
trades societies to uses they were not meant for,
and ought not to need to be employed in ; to
assemble in great. organized masses to prove their

AUSTRIA AND RUSSIA.
VIENNA, DEC. 6.

The semi-official Vieuna Journal of to-day pub-
lishes an article upon what it designates as certain
" wilfully disseminated rumours" respecting
alleged tension in the political relations between
Austria and Russia. The article concludes as follows :
"We learn upon most reliable authority that the
relations between Russia and Austria are moat
satisfactory, and that nothing whatever has taken
place calculated to disturb them in any way. No
concentration of troops has been made by Austria
and Galicia, nor is such a measure contemplated.
Russia, on the other hand, has not effected any
military movement out of the ordinary course, or
of a nature to give rise to any apprehension."

A couple of Lamirandes in a small way were con-
victed on Dec. 1, at the assize court of the Haute
Saone, of embezzling 225,000 fr. belonging to the
Receiver-General of the department. Two clerks
in the Receiver-General's office, named Magnin
and Dumont, whose salaries were only I,Boofr. a
year each, contrived to misappropriate the above
large sum, part of which was obtained by substi-
tuting one city of Paris bond for another which
had gained a lottery prize of 10,000 fr. Magnin,
presumed to be the most culpable of the two, has
absconded. Dumont, to whom " extenuating cir-
cumstances " were accorded, was sentenced to five
years' imprisonment.
In the lastlist of bankrupts is Count de Monier,
director of the Comptoir-d'Abyssinie, formerly
living in the Place Pentagonale, and now without
any known residence, who about a year or eighteen
months since was organising an expedition into
Eastern Africa.
