THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1867.

it was supported in an harsh and illogical speech
by Lord CRANBORNE, and in a rather Pharisaic
one from Mr. Osuoime, reflects credit on the
right feeling and humanity of the House. The
clause moved by Mr. THEEBY, and accepted by the
Government, requiring the overseers of parishes to
make out, on or before the 22nd day of July in
each year, lists of persons in arrears of rates due
before the sth of the preceding January—the lists
to be accessible without fee for fourteen days after
the time of their compilation—is a compromise be-
tween the Hems BE4'I{4:TART'S proposal of a news-
paper advertisement and Mr. LOCKE'S plan of indi-
vidual service of notice, and is as much better than
the former as it is inferior to the latter. The rejec-
tion of Mr. P. A. TAYLOR'S reasonable proposition,
for allowing the occupation of different lodgings
in succession to confer the same right to the fran-
chise as the continued occupation of the same
lodgings, cannot be justified on any ground of
argument. This rejection was not the worst symp-
tom. The silence of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUER after Mr. BOUVERIE'S untimely speech against
the lodger franchise lends some confirmation to the
rumour that that franchise itself may be attacked
and abandoned by the Government in the Lords.
The support successfully given by Ministers
to Mr. LOWTHER'S amendment, extending the
franchise of the boroughs of Oxford and Cam-
bridge to residents in colleges or halls, is a
strange commentary on their admiration of
homogeneous constituencies, and denunciations
of the iniquity of swamping such constituencies
by foreign elements. The elision of the Master-
ship of the Rolls and the First Commissionership
of Church Estates from the list of offices of profit,
which may be exchanged inter se, though not ac-
cepted in the first instance without resignation of
the nominee's seat in Parliament, will be generally
approved, since these are not political posts. When
this amendment was made, on the motion of Sir
RousnELL Pumas, the real business of the House
was over. The attempts of Mr. A varoN and
others to reopen the subject of the borough
schedales involved a sheer waste of time, not the
less to be censured because the motions were little
better than feints. It is matter for satisfaction
that these propositions, and others as idle, delayed
nothing more important than Mr. BAILLIE
Coex-
RA' long postponed, but not very anxiously
awaited speech on the Tornado question. The
tediousness of these debates will increase the pub-
lic sense of relief at the conclusion of the tiresome
but necessary details, which have occupied the
PFliMilcut Asl4 OW country for many weary weeks,

was addrumed. But nothinseaa excuse the gross injustice
of refusing evidence which demonstrates that the impres-
sion thus produced was not only not the impression which
the speaker intended, but the very reverse of what he had
for years been labouring to produce. The suggestion that
the Council of University College should deprive Mr.
Beesly of professional status for this speech is equi-
valent to • proclamation that freedom of political
thought and expression should be denied in future
to every tenant of such offices. At Oxford it
would certainly have been simply impossible to de-
-1 price Professor Beesly of any academical office for
this mischievous speech. Oxford guards far too jealously
the liberty of even her wildest and most vagrant-
minded sons. In a college with anything of collegiate
dignity to lose it would be a stigma on its history not
easy ever to wipe out.
The Chronicle oomes to the conclusion that wo must
wait for the extinction of the Orange Society until the
Irish establishment has been abolished, and the existence
of such an organisation should be counted a strong reason
for pressing on this great reform. All the year round,
until July comes, the different sects and races live on
good terms together in Ulster; and there cannot he a
doubt that they would have been fused to a great extent
long since, if it were not considered necessary to keep
them apart for political purposes by promoting these
annual exacerbations.

The inhabitants of Perin must appear in the eyes
of the sovavigr s and princes who visit the French capital
to have among thcin a very considelable number of men-
d oant•, since those illustrious pereonwres are besieged
with applicatons for pecuniary assistanee under all aorta
of pretences, and for sums of money from 24fr. to lOO,ooofr.
The young Prince lazedin Effendi, the heir ap-
parent to the Ottoman Empire, is but a mere lad, and
unlike most Turks of high rank is almost as dark 00113
pie xioned as a Spaniard. The resemblance to bis Imperial
father ia very striking, and is rendered almost whimsically
great from the fact of them .both wearing exactly the
same kind of State uniform and the same riband and order.
Prince Irsedin Effendi is, in other words, the Sultan in
miniature.
