USE LAI'S EVENTS.

Ora Tory friends are fairly entitled to crow
over tkeir victories in the City, in Westminster,
and at !dandiest( r. It would be folly on our part
to affect to dissemble the regret which all true
Liberals must feel at the loss of seats in such im-
portant centres of the national representation.

Nor is that regret lessened by the fact that
such victories and such defeats are only too easily
accounted for. There is no need to refer to the
unfortunate ill-health, and consequent absence
Irons his parliamentary duties during the last
scesion, of Baron Rornecn ttn, whose presence in the
Howie as member fur the City was identified with
the triumph of the great principle of religious
equality in years gone by. Nor do we attach
much credit to the hypothesis of a " Conserve-
" live reaction " in the City. Lot us put
the care with the utmost frankness. There
has always been, of course, a respectable
and Mflueutial Conservative minority in the City.
That rein,,rity has never until now seen its way to
en electoral success; and so discouraging have its
chances appeared on former occasions that it ha 3
probably never cared to put forth its whole strength
until the minority clause opened a gap through
which it Lae now triumphantly rushed for the first,
and, it may be, for the last time. It was perhap3
desirable that • conspicuous and crucial ia.stamx-
of the working of that clause should be pre-
sented to the contemplation of the new Parlia-
me The City election supplies the most
convincing argument for its repeal. M. Peevo'er-
PASAIJOI., writing on the other side of the water,
under pressure of • vast administrative or-
ganisetion of universal suffrage, commends tii
his countrymen the great saving principle of
the representation of minorities. Were the
ssiffrage as free in France as in England,
the representation of minorities would, unless we
greatly over-estimate the real strength of the
French Liberal party, operate as injuriously, not to
say as deceptively, there as here, and would no
longer be invoked as the only corrective of an
Intolerable abuse of arbitrary power. In • free
°Gentry, where the suffrage is not universal, and
the national constituency is not artificially and
arbitrarily divided into districts fur the pur-
pose of falsifying the representation, this
principle, which has given the Tories a
Neat fur the City, is nothing but a snare.
However powerful and respectable City Toryism
may be, the numbers of the poll yesterday prove
incontrovirtibly that but for the minority clause
it is not strong enough to claim a representative
of its own in Parliament. No doubt the character
and weer of our present PIIEMILIt are such as to
attract the aytupathies of a large claw' of City'
men who have shown an equal admiration for
LOON Narwatoar, and are never slow to pay

THE EXPRESS,

homage to audacity and success ia any shape, the
lies burdened with scruples and with principles
he better. But the minority &eel, we hoe,
it. is quite sufficient to explain this wonderfal
Toty victory, and perhaps to prevent this posei-
ility of its repetition.
Toryism, pure and simple, will, we daresay, sing
'ouder pawns over the remarkable 4=00.111 of the
" constitutional" candidate in Westminster than
over the trick by which Mr. BELL has triumphed
in the City. The causes of this Liberal detest and
disgrace are not far to seek. Nor need they bo
disguised. Ile had alienated some of his sup-
porters by his interposition between Mr. Botrvieut
and the constituents of Kilmarnock, and by his
subscription to Mr. BBADIALIGH'S candidature at
Northampton. There are no qualities that the
average well-to-do Westminster elector appreciates
so little as a chivalrous assertion of abstract prin-
ciples of morality and justice, and a chivalrous
defiance of all the respectable hypoorisies. Add
to these disqualifications that traneeendant intel-
lectual superiority which makes a solitude about
a man, and lends something of the splendour of
paradox to the severest reason and the simplest
common muse, and there is more than enough toy
account for the ostracism of Mr. MILL by the social
Heil political Philistines of Westminster. Abuse
of Mr. MILL was not found to be a very profitable
;.atue to play at Brighton. It might have boon
imag level that the new electors for Wastminttor
a ould base had strength enough to save the con-
stituency from discredit. But who does not know
that alpinist stupidity the gods themselves aro
pee trless. and that there is nothing stupidity
Lutes so much as a philosopher ?
New that the alienated Liberals have appeased
the ir disideasure, some of them at least will probably
regret having exhibited their Philistinism to the
derision of Europe. Mr. MILL, we hope, will not
art:line another seat which is sure to beoffured him.
Meanwhile we have no disposition to refuse to the
nest 6. Cone ere ativee of Westminster the credit
of having fixed their choice upon a representative
a hose success in life Lae been won by honourable
enterprise, and whose public demeanour and lan-
guage have always been marked by moderation
and self-respect.
Of the itingio Tory victory at Manchester wo
will only gay at present that it is really not so
surprising as it looks. Manchester and " the Man-
- Chester school " are not the same thing. Free
trade always excepted, there must ever bo a con-
siderable element of resistance to change as change
in a community of self-made employers. On all
the great questions of national economy Man-
ebe stet. can hardly differ very widely from Mr.
Bitl6llT. But has not the Tory Cabinet made Mr.
EHIGIIT's policy of peace and non-intervention its
own' Then what remains for self-made Man-
chester democrats but to stem the advancing tide
of " democracy" ? Let those who will adopt this
view of Manchester Toryism. The plain fact
remains that this return of a respectable Tory
manufacturer is nothing worse or better than the
spoilt broth of too many Liberal cooks, and that
Mr. MITCHELL HENRY has been the culinary
artist who especially deserves the thanks of the
Tory candidate, and the acknowledgments of the
Liberal party.
Glancing through yesterday's polling lists, one
notes with mixed feelings the rejection of Mr.
Roeeres at Sheffield. Had he not received the
unfortunate patronage of Mr. BROADEIZAD, it
might be said that nothing in his long career be-
came him like the leaving it, said that his dis-
appearance from public life was due to a crowning
act of self-sacrificing moral courage. In common
with many of our contemporaries, we have often
lamented a vanity which had become a disease,
and an egotism which, like any other monomania,
had its pathetic side. We believed that
Mr. Bozetex, during the American war,
did as much mischief as any private member
of Parliament could do : and only the other day,
at the banquet to the American Minister, his in-
temperance of thought and of language was such
as to make a great constituency blush for so irre-
sponsible a representative. But we recognise
most fully the valiant and constant integrity of
his devotion to the public service, and of his
eccentric patriotism. We shall all miss his biting
and bitter tongue, and his piercing and insistent
finger in the House. He was a modern Diocicrits,
who had come to fancy that he had invented the
sunshine round his tub. But England was to
him that annshine. Peace be to him in his honour-
able baniahment Two other familiar faces will
he sought in vain in the new Assembly.
Of Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE, we menet forbear to
say that he was emphatically a good member of
Parliament—true to his leader ; steadfast in hie
literal faith ; a thorough man of the world, yet
not an idler or a dilettante ; a thorough party
man, yet never a mere party parasite. Vigilant,
attentive, fond of the game of politics, but far
more serious than he seemed when real work was
to be done ; merciless in banter, when banter could
be wise ; never fouling in respect to men who de-
, served it ; not incapable of argument and °envie-
tions, though always ready to light up a
lingering debate with a rocket-fire of jokes,
Mr. REBNA.L OSBORNE is eminently one of
those of whom allies and adversaries alike
would say that they could better spare a better
man. Mr. ROEBUCK was often complimented,
and often censured, for saying what no ono else
would dare to say. Nothing could be truer than
this of Mr. OSBORNE. But with this important
difference, that what Mr. ROEBUCK said was often
what no one ought to say, and that what Mr.
014E01:NE said was often what every one was glad to
hear. Let us Lope that he will melee his appearance
again in the House us the representative of •
lily rul constituency and not of Tory " lambs."
I here was a fatal flaw in the origin of his con-
nection with Nottingham, and ho has suffered
not unjustly for it now. But how will the mem-
bers of the old House be consoledlor the absence
of Mr. DARLY GRIFFITH ? Alas for the milia
Eupitatia Leg ! This true intellectual descendant
of M. de la Peuesz is one of the earliest victims
of redistribution, and Devizes will no longer be
invested with that mystery which surrounds the
political cradle of great statesmen, Mr. DARBY
anarrrn was one of the unacknowledged legis-
lators of the world. Who will now put Rzerrea's
telegrams on the Notice Paper, and improve
the shining summer hours by feats of oratory sc.
compliahed under most adverse circumstances, and
must we remorsefully confess ?—unreported as

disc ndowing the Irish Church at moo; be would
reform the noun) of Lords by altering its ounsti-
tetion; ho would enlarge the present scheme for
national education—that is, ho would no► h ►vo it
paid for out of a central fund, as Lord SALISBURY
propcees, but would give some °facial b•dy the
l.ow ir of compelling the looal authorities to
educate the children in their districts. Mr.
Lows has little of the tenderness for exist-
ing interests in Ireland which have markel
the speeches of the offloi.d Liberal binders.
" Diaestablishment and dimendowment," he sag-.

gelds, " bbould be absolutely contemporaneotm,"
and the propositions to allow livings to fall in ono
by one, be considers as " unjust and impolitic."
Oivetbe people the stimulus of a great exoitement,
urges Mr. Lows, and voluntary effort will be
forthcoming, but withdraw State amistmese by
driblets and the Church will perish from inanition.
The proposal to create senators instead of life-
peen—men who should sit in the House of Lords
by virtue of having discharged the duties of alas
of state with diligence and propriety for a certain
number of years—suggests a beatified Civil Her-

tier; and will alarm such people as are afraid of
raising np a bureaucracy in the land. Mr. Lows's
views on education are entitled to respect by mown
both of his own varied attainments and the practioal
Ferric° he has rendered to the cause. It may be
fairly ailed, however, how ho proposes his
central authority to act, when district
hoards ate hostile or indifferent? Where
is the j own .to begin? whore the self-govern-
ment to terminate? Such experienoe as
we hate is not favourable to a central office having
r.c,wt r, the exercito of which would make it locally
unpopilar. But these points have doubtless been
tutu-Welled by Mr. LOWE, 'Mho merely touched on
tie m in his speeds yeaerday, and will bo
laid before the country at no distant day.
The recent condition of the House of Commons,
end ,the effect on the tax-payer of government by
a minority, wane subjects handled with great
fns dote, and the tone of the speaker was that
of full aoturd with his party. " What I have
•` done, I bate done," said Mr Lows, with proud
humility ; and though stilt maintaining the
gravity of the change he deprecated he is ma ly to
to with the stream, and even soei safety in
making advanced liberalism the policy of the
hour.
