against our Ifingliak &E riffs nottaken

may be called the waste of life
able women—their extravagance,.
their frivolities, their Let of the domestic virtues.
One may smile, too, perhaps, with bitterness, at
outrageous fashions in dress, and at what
seems like the affectation of immodesty. But
such fashions and such apparent immodesty do not
belong to our age alone ; and even the more
serious faults to which we have alluded are pro-
bably more conspicuous than they are widely
spread. A fast woman, like a sensational novel,
will always attract the attention of the public.
Notoriety can readily be earned by a dash of im-
propriety, or by the exercise of bad taste. But it
does not follow that the stars are extinct because
a number of flaring rockets hide them for a
moment from our sight, and, notwithstanding the
"signs of the times" upon which the
Saturday Reviewer has so cleverly dilated,
we believe that the great bulk of
English women are still as true "to the old
" English ideal," as in the days gone by. Sir
RICHARD STRILI said finely of a lady of his ac-
quaintance that to know her was a liberal educa-
tion. Are there any of us so destitute and so
ignorant as to be without the benefit of such
teaching I We agree entirely with the Saiwnlay
Reviewer when he says that every word of censure
flung by men against the women of their own
nation is two-edged, and " wounds those who
"condemn as much as those who are con-
" demned." The faults of English girls, and
faults no doubt they have as well as follies,
are as much our own as theirs. But
despite all the shortcomings of the age, we do
not believe that society has degenerated, and we
see no reason why "the simple and genuine girl
" of the past" should be viewed as an extinct
animal, to be handed over to some literary OWEN.
The ideal of English womanhood does not exist
merely in the imagination or the memory ; but
the living type may be found still by all who care
to seek for it.

THE PRINCE OF WALES AND THE ST.
PATRICK'S SCHOOLS.

Tn. success of last night's festival of the
Benevolent Society of St. Patrick culminates in
the PRINCE of Witra's hint at • possible
residence in Ireland for himself and the PITINCENI.
" If," said his Royal Highness, " this visit
" should tend to give pleasure to the people of
" Ireland, I hope there may be a longer visit
" hereafter," and the sanguine spirits present
saw in these words a promise to spend a portion
of each year in the sister country. Readers
of the " Quemes Diary," will remember how the
Prince was created Earl of Dublin in acknowledg-
ment of the enthusiastically loyal receptions given
to her Musser by her Irish subjects ; and in
earlier days the almost hyperbolic congra-
tulations which greeted the landing of
Gemini IV. tended to prove that the mere pre-
sence of royalty goes far to remove the soreness
due to long standing hardship and misgovernment.
Whether or no the Prince of WALTZ meant his
words to convey the extent of meaning attributed
to them by the gentlemen who cheered so lustily
last night, it is certain that if he and the Piuncsse
are induced in the future to set aside a portion of
their time for Ireland, political and social re-
formers will find their work greatly assisted.
Another remark in the speeches from the
chair last night is one upon which we should
like to be further enlightened. " A special
" feature in the conduct of the schools,"
remarked the PRINC6, "is that no doctrinal
" teaching is permitted. They are entirely
" national and non-sectarian schools." If this be
the case, the lack of the Roman Catholic element
in such assemblages as that of yesterday is
remarkable. We have gone through the names
of the prelates, the noblemen, the members of
parliament, the dignitaries and publicists who were
present, and we find them to be all identified with
Protestant opinions. Not a single representative
man of the Irish Roman Catholics was there,
and it would be really useful to know if
their absence was accidental, or if it is
to be attributed to any alleged grievance
against the management of the schools. " The
" children are," we were told by the Royal
Chairman, "strongly advised to attend the
" instructions given by the Ministers of the
" religion in which their parents wish them to be
" brought up, and they are afforded an oppor-
" tunity of doing so every week." Is this held
not to meet the requirements of the case? and if so,
on what grounds I If these schools are really
" national and unseetarian," they should com-
mand the support of all religious persuasions, and
it is pussling on a great occasion him yesterday to
find the representatives of the religion of the
country showing their interest by keeping away.

BRITISH BULB IN INDIA.

This morning was published the copy of an im-
portant dispatch from the government of India, together
with some ocarempondenes respecting the British end
native systems of government in that 'pantry. In the
debate on the Mysore ateesemion, which took plum in the
Hews of Commons is May last, Lord Daubers* took
occasion to institute • comparison between the two
',stems, and to point out certain defects which appeared
to his lordship inherent in the British plan. The subject
thus started appeared to the Goveraer-Osseral of se tote-
resting a character, and there seemed so m Lich to be said on
the opposite aide of the question, that his excellency
canoed a confidential circular to be axed, calling upon
various officers of mark throughout the Indian empire to
submit an expression of their respective opinions in the
matter; and the correspondence now published is the
result. Among the replies which are regarded by the
Governor-General and his councillors am specially dewy.
ing careful perusal are those of Sir Donald "Mead. Lieu-
tenant-Governor of the Pcinjaub, and Sir R. Temple, resi-
dent at Hyderabad. The former rye there can be no
doubt whatever that those who have sought British rule
are vastly more numerous than those who have abandoned
I it, while It may be added with truth that the coercive
I measures adopted in some native stake towards intend-
ing emigrants readers it oftentimes very difficult for those
to carry oat their wishes. Another criterion by
which some opinion may be formed on the
subject is derived from the dissatisfaction which has been
expressed by populations that have been transferred
from British to native rule in emisequence of

alienations of territory. On the other hand,
where territory under native rule has bean traneferred
to the mown Sir Donald N'Lsod bas sever beard of say
symptoms of discontent or dissaiisfeettra baring been
evinced by the people " sore melt morMheatba as may
have been shown by the military classes sad retelams of
marts, where territory hmbeen acquired by ocraquest." Sir
Donald expresses his belief that the feeling 'viewed by the
bulk of the population on the first assumptioa of their terri-
tory by the British government has in every instance been
one of satisfaction ; and he does not think that any one who
really knows India will deny that " the security, both in
person and property—the freedom from violence
or oppresaions of every kind, the stability of eitab-
liked order, the encouragements to trade and progress,
and facilities for accumulation and utilisation of capital
afforded under. British rale, are infinitely preferred by
the bulk of the people to the comparative lawlessneee exist-
ing In the native states," by which the empire under
British rule is surrounded. But there is an importer's
qualifying clause in Sir Donald IrLeod's despatch. He
freely admit; that these results ate attributable to the
more or less arbitrary and uncertain character of the native
governments, and to the fact that the very presence of
the British power relieves them from many of the
restraints which existed when they and their subjects were
left entirely to themselves, thus rendering some of them
more oppressive and more indifferent to their people's
welfare than they might otherwise have been ; and Sir
Donald believes that if the comparison were made with
really well.goverued native states (and there are, he
thinks, suck to be found), the comparison might not, in
the estimation of the people, be altogether in favour of
the British rale, "save is so far as the continuance of just
rule in a native state where there are no constitutional
guarantees mart ever be dependent on the character of
the chief," and therefore wanting in stability. Sir Donald
also point. out • few of the more prominent
paints in reaping of which the natives of India feel that
there has bees a want of sympathy with them—more par-
ticularly evinced in the abolition of practices obeernd
under Oriental rale; and menget these he instances the
abolition of the prectios of eeaferring greats and largesse'
to iallaential men for the pertesee of sessertag their attimb-
MIA ; the equality in which all chases are regarded in the
eyes of the law, which is especially dirtscrieful to the
