SARCASM—THE GREATEST OF DR. NEW MAN'S
CONTROVERSIAL WEAPONS.—In one of those lec-
tures to his Puseyito brethren in which he used to pierce
them so sharply, though so tenderly in manner, with every
species of raillery, says the 'Spectator, Dr. Newman eon-
treated very strikingly the secular Protestant-Government
of sarcasm we do not remember :
view of things,—the sort of view Lord Palmerston would
take,—with the sacerdotal Catholic view,—the sort of view
hospitals, lunatic asylums,and

prisons—how perfect are their externals! What skill and
ingenuity appear in their structure, economy, administra-
tion!
They aro as decent, and bright, and calm as what
our Lord seems to name them—dead men's sepulchres.

full of sores. You see it gasping and panting with priva-
tionsand you sing to it, you dance to it, you
show it your picture books, you let off your fire-works, you
open your menageries. Shallow philosophers, is this
mode of going on so winning and persuasive that we
should imitate it ?" Who cannot hear the ring of
mockery with which the father of the Oratory laughs at
the efforts of the world to patch up a decent and present-
able show of earthly comfort ? There is the same under-
current of scorn in his most touching and tender
addresses and appeals. Who that has ever read it does not
remember that masterpiece of cruel oratorical effect in the
sermon, written after his conversion, on " Neglect of the
Divine Calls and Warnings," in which he describts the
vain pleas of a lost soul against the condemnation of Christ,
" I have had a conscience, 1 have a cultivated mind," Su.,
and then returns to consider all that may be said on earth
of the wretch thus undergoing his final sentence of eternal
torture ? " Men talk of him from time to time—they quota
his words, perhaps they even raise a monument to his
name, or write his history. 'So e

ROUSE OF LORDS—Last Evening.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wooLsack al
five o'clock.

The Earl of CARNARVON presented a petition from
the Worcester Diocesan College for Training School-
master, against the revised code of education.

The Earl of CARNARVON said he had been requested

quence of his detention in the country, to postpone
his question relative to the giving material aid
to Denmark, which stood on the paper in his name for to-
morrow evening, until Monday next.
CHIEF RENTS (IRELAND) BILL.
Lord DONOUGHMORE moved the second reading of

After a few words from Lord MONTEIGLE, the motion
was agreed to.

Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evening.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.
INDIA.
Colonel SYKES asked the Secretary of State for India
whether, considering the rapidly increasing difficulties of
adjusting the large annual balance of trade in favour of
India by means of silver, it was his intention to facilitate
commercial operations by the introduction into 'lndia of
pure allayed gold tokens of the value of five or ten rupees ?
Mr. VANSITTART asked the Secretary of State for
India whether, in lieu of the gold tokens of the value of five
or ten rupees, as suggested by the member for Aberdeen, it
would not be desirable to re-introduce that portable and
Popular gold piece among the natives known as the gold
mohnr, which is worth 325., and which resembles the Prus-
sian double fredricksdor ?
Sir C. WOOD said he was not prepared to introduce such
Coins, which would be an impediment to the introduction of
the sovereign, which he should like to see.
Col. SYKES said he should call attention to the subject
after Easter, and would move a resolution.
