ME REPRESENTATION OF MIDDLESEX.

Mr. Labouchero has Emit the fullowing letter
for publicatlou : _ _

Sii,—ln tho interests of the party, Lord
Eutield and I would do well to adjourn the discussion of
all lino al differences until after the election. Lord
ufield had distinctly refused to unite before thowi da-
le:times alose— our disunion, theiotore, has nothing to
do with Min. The constituency wish our uuion. I wish
it, too. Our personal relations newt not be renewed.
Lcrd Entield considers himself and Lord 0. Hai:intim to
be. what Le is pleased to call, ••• the scions of a noble
steak." lam a man of the middle clam; he oousiders

Lunen my superior. Let us agree to differ ou thrt point.
Unless we do unite • conservative will get in fur Mid-
dlesex, although the titivate are in • !Argo majonty.
Either Lad Enfield will beat me by coo-creative split
votes—fer lam proud to say not one conservative sup-
ports me ; or, as the liberals do not like the idea of two
numbers being returned b 7 conservative votes, they may
plump forme, and Lord hutield will then lose his seat. Under
thee. ern, Distance', I ins 1(.114y to put the management
of the election into the hands of anybody otmen thatway
he comideicd to I gm t scut the liberal patty in the county—
the Brent told or the Hamiott ad committee.tor instanee--or
a vonin,ittee of seven, dace named by me and three by
Lord kulitld, and one named by any local exanntteu in
tie county that Lind Enfield may apjoiut. Lord Enfield
knows that while our ni•gotiations were going on, he
received an intimation from Lord G. Hamilton, that if •
unitu took place • secood etwervative would be brought
out. He knows, too, that Lord George Hamilton's ow-
\ losers are soliciting votes for him. Those are evidences
that the conservatives dread our union. I esdl, therefore,
on the liberal electors of Midalleeas to impose such linos
on us that shall make the approaching contest one be-
tween liberal and comervetive priaciplee.-1 ern. kc.,

LORD STANLEY AT KING'S LYNN.

11.01:1) STANLEY'S speech is that of an indus-
trious and conscientious civil servant. It has
about it less of the political manifesto and more of
the dispassionate analysis than any Cabinet
utterance yet given to the world. It is like a long
minute upon Government office foolscap; each
the proper distance from the other, and with
orthodox marginal notes. His lordship has, more-
over, found his department to occupy him so fully
that he has had little time for anything outside ita
range. Such matters as " leaps in the dark," the
condition of Ireland, the mal-administration of
our poor-laws, the comparative advantages of
direct and indirect taxation, compulsory or volun-
tary national education, have all occupied his
attention, and are all touched on in his compre-
hensive review of public affairs. But it is
plain to the most superficial observer
that the SECRETARY for Four:cox AFFAIRS
having found what he had to do has held it to be
his duty to do that one thing with all his might.
He is the good boy of the school, who keeps his
eye fixed resolutely on the one page set before
him ; while his companions dash gaily from
subject to subject or permit their minds to wander
over and perhaps to rebel against the general
scheme of 'Detraction. He has had no regulax
holiday during the two years and a half he has
held office. No Foreign-office clerk has drudged
so patiently as he. The annual " leave," so dear
to the heart of the permanent official, has been
found impossible of attainment by this most ex-
emplary of workers. Save when in official at-
tendance on her Manurry, Lord STANLEY has
never been absent from London for more than a
day or two at a time since he first undertook the
duties of his present poet. Was it not recorded of

1114 lordship that his Whitehall ()di la h.st
for him greater attractions than the ministori:►l
t dinner; and that when Mr. Dims saLt
was tanking merry at Greenwich with those light
ai:d airy trifles. Mr. GATIIOUNII HAZDT sad Mr.
WARD HUNT, the industrious apprentice of the
Cabinet remained immorood in blue-books and
diplomatic forms at home? There it something
14 rriblo in this perfoction of business capacity;
and it Lord STAN lan' ever fails in gaining that hold
upon the sjmpathios of his countrymen to which
hie powers entitle Lint, it will be because ho
arms incapable of baulking his morbid appotito
for work. It is a reproach to ordinary flesh and
blood mortals to be brought into contact, or to b.
set hi contrast, with so much infallibility. Eng-
lislaren are accustomed to regard a certain
heartiness in enjoyment and some seat for reoroa-
th n and fun as legitimate characteristics in

a popular statesman ; and that " all work
" and no play snakes JACK a dull boy"
is an integral portion of the national
cretd. But Lord -STANLEY never doffs
his harness. He was as much armed at all points
dining his speech at Lynn as if he were conduct-
ing a delicate negotiation with a hostile power.
He is never off his guard; never incautious, never
anything but safe. sober, sensible, and calm. His
D'W/1 on the great questions before the country
are Liberal, but their liberality is neutralised by
the fact that he votes as in duty bound with his
roily, and is prepared to defend that party's policy
in a tipid and official way. Among the electors
at Lynn is a certain obtrusive Mr. Brooks, who
set ins to Lave played the part of Greek chorus, and
to have called out " Bright's policy," " tlionk
Cod," and to have made other interjectional re-
thinks at intervals during Lord STANLEY' 8 specq.h.
He was &bold, and apparently impolite malt ; bit
be gives an air of greater human living interest to
the proceedings than they would hare otherwise
bed. For though tho sentiments doliverel
were unexceptionable in the main, their
rather cut and dried goodness must have
fulled after a time. But notwithstanding these
dials backs the lust speech from the C.sbinet will
not 1 e unsatisfactory either t r the Govora-
Du lit or the country. Mr. Dtsammrs bast
card is Lord STANLEY, and the undoubted
value of the latter as Foreign Minister, his
disiosition for peace, his incapacity for common
prejudices, his individual liberalism, and his logiesl
bails are all invaluable to the Tory camp. Bit
one swallow does not make a summer, and it
would take many Stanleys to leaven the party
now in power. Whatever Lord Dalliiira
heir may think, we know that ho will
vote with the party of which Lord DERBY'S
dutiful successor is the chief; that he is not dis-
posed to " tinker" the Reform Bill by abolishing
the rating and minority clauses, and that he is for
improving that which is past improvement—the
Irish Church. Lord STANLEY'S conservatism is
only liberal when party divisions upon principle
are unnecessary.

ME HARDT 'S WORKHOUSE LEGISLATION.

THE Metropolitan Poor Law Inspector who ad-
vised the Bethnal-green guardians to agitate for
an equalisation of rates was wise in his generation.
The sort of enthusiasm with which Mr. Oarnottez
HARDY'S measure was received by both parties in
the House, and which we deprecated at the time,
has died out, and the gravest fears are now enter-
tained as to its practicability. That its operation
will be unequal, and that but a comparatively smell
portion of the sick poor will be benefited by the
changes which are to be brought about at a vast
and almost appalling cost to the ratepayers, seems
certain. The million or million and a half which
the new buildings are estimated to cost will not
materially ameliorate the condition of the aged
and infirm, for they will be devoted principally to
certain specified sections of the sick. These are
not the most numerous or the most suffering
classes, and an arbitrary line seems to have been
drawn by Mr. GATHORNE HARDY round certain
maladies which will operate with considerable
harshness both on those entrusted with the admi-
nistration of the law, and those whom it is in-
tended to relieve. But the crying objection to the
vast outlay to be made under the Metropolitan
Poor Bill is that many of the exist'ng work-
houses might be used for the purposes for which
asylums are being built, and that a thorough
system of classification and discipline could
in itself meet the chief evils of the present
system. There are suburban workhouses almost
new and bat partially filled which would make
admirable convalescent hospitals; and there are
metropolitan workhouses in crowded neighbour-
hoods, the ill-ventilated wards of which are death
to the sick. But it is strongly urged that
if all the workhouses in the metropolitan
district could be dealt with as branches
of a great whole that the sick and infirm
poor housed in them could be properly accom-
modated without any great additional cost. At
present each building is devoted to the most in-
congruous and opposite purposes. It is an asylum
for old age, a hospital for incurables, a refuge
for those beaten in the race of life, a later-
house for the sick, a receptacle for tramps,
and in some case an infant school. Given
equidisation of rates and uniformity of
management, and there would be no motive for
this complexity and confusion. The pauper in-
mates could be provided for without reference to
the particular parish or union in which they
happen to reside. Certain workhouses would be
told off for particular purposes ; and those unfit
for any purpose could be condemned. There
would be no overpowering local motive for the
retention of what was known to be bad. Neither
room nor material would be wasted, and the
asylums would be ready to hand. Such are the
arguments of many of those most conversant with
the working of the Poor-law in the metropolis,
and it cannot be denied that the heavy boxlens
inflicted on the poorer parishes by Mr. HARDY'S
measure gives those arguments competency and
force.
