organ of the reaction on Monday told its readers that
" the extreme point to which the tide of liberalism
" receded in 1860 " would hereafter be found in
that to which Mr. HOBRKAN incautiously pushed his
rhetorical steed in the course of Friday evening
last. The Lords, we are now told, were quite
right in snubbing the Commons because they had
the folly for once to yield to the advice of a man of
genius, eloquence, and popular sympathies like
Mr. Girl:arrows ; but it would not be convenient
or safe if the Lords got into the way of auditing
mad revising the public income and expenditure.
A sense of the fearful peril towards which they
have been rushing headlong seems to have sud-
denly dawned upon our contemporary, if not upon
his political friends. It was excellent sport, riding
down the people, their claims, and their privileges;
but it is not pleasant to come too near the brink
of the abyss, even though half-a-dozen renegades,
mad with malignity, should offer to lead the way
on, shouting no danger. Some desperate riders
begin to think that Reaction has fairly ran
away with them ; and they would fain call upon
those they have hitherto spurned to help them
to stop its further career. But the people have
been abused, and will not now be used. In the
scuffle and scramble that may take place for the
spoils won at their cost, they will take no
part. They were only too ready a short
time ago to have compromised much of
their absolute right, believing or wishing
to believe that though there might be misappre-
hension in some, and real misgiving in others,
there was no desire to deny gradual emfranchise-
ment, and no thought of conspiring against
ancient immunities. But after what has occurred,
and with the corrupt or craven complicity of too
many in whom they trusted, the people would
only prove themselves worthy of the injustice they
now endure if they put themselves again in the
position to be deceived.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE MASSACRE IN SYRIA.
PARIS, WssasigoiT.

In order not to obstruct the free action of the
Turkish government, as well as to leave to it a
complete responsibility, the French cabinet has
decided that the commanders of the men-of-war
sent to Syria shall abstain from all intervention,
and confine themselves to protecting the French
consuls, and to offering refuge to all Christians
who might apply for it.
