off negotiations with the members of the extreme
left.

The Deak party held their first conference to-

of votes at their command.

SERVIA.

BELGRADE, Nov. 21.

Servia has made a direct appeal to the Turkish
government to evacuate all the Servian fortresses,
especially that of Belgrade.

HOW SHALL THE CHURCH BE GOVERNED

Events have shown that the Duke of Wellington
had good reason for asking, in view of the possible conse-
quences of parliamentary reform, " how the King's govern-
ment was to be carried on ? " Nor is it inconsistent with
a deer conviction of the necessity of that measure to say
that governmeut has ever since been little else than a
series of compromises—a succession of attempts to con-
ciliate opposing interests, which each administration in turn
has found itself incompetent to control. The statesman's
question may be asked—nay, must be asked—by every

now ; we are thankful for the change ; but there must be
some direction of her movement, if she is to be kept clear
of the rocks and shoals in her course. Many persons
seem to have but one answer to these inquiries. What-
ever be the scandal, the controversy , or the doubt, they
have the same prescription—" Go to law." Their love for
the Church of England extends no farther than to the de-
cisions of lawyers on controverted points in her ritual or
her articles. Under the influence of some strange theory
of the infallibility and impartiality of law courts in
general, they take every judicial utterance for gospel.
What is scarcely leas strange, they assume
that the enactments of the sixteenth end seven-
teenth centuries must under all circumstances, and
for all time, be the church's only law. They have no
belief in the living authority and spiritual energy of the
